So, what's been going on? I've been a bit lax in blogging here of late, which I hope to fix in the near future. So what's the news?
Well, new item number one if that I'm about to move on from Domain Group, where I've been Windows DevOps Wonk for the last three years, and head to Octopus Deploy, where I'll be doing some really exciting Cloud Architecture work and generally trying to reach as many people as possible with the good news of Modern Windows Ops.
In early June, I'll be leaving Domain and heading for the awesome @OctopusDeploy where I'll be Cloud Architecting lots of exciting things.
So that's the first thing out of the way. What else has been going on?
Oh yeah, there's that whole WannaCry thing which went by. At Domain we were entirely unaffected. Why?
Well, most of us are running Windows 10 on our laptops, which was immune to the specific vulnerability. That was a major factor. But I don't manage the client OS fleet. I manage the servers.
Good solid firewall practice was a major factor. SMB would never be open to the internet, and we have periodic security scanning that checks our Cloud environments against an exhaustive set of rules. We absolutely don't allow SMB shares on our fleet – that was common practice at one time, but rapidly deemed anticloud because it does nothing except enable bad deployment practice.
However, an interesting wrinkle on the subsequent community debate: At Domain, we turn off Windows Update on our Robot Army Windows Server fleet.
So we made a considered, reasoned decision to disable Windows Update on the autoscaling fleet. That's a few hundred boxes right there.
Make no mistake, Troy Hunt is absolutely right that no client OS should have updates disabled. But a modern server workload may have a case for it, as long as other measures are taken to protect the OS from threats. Your mileage may vary. Treat all advice with caution. I am not a doctor.
Last, here's a new bit from Microsoft Virtual Academy (published 15 May 2017) which I think did a decent job of explaining modern DevOps practices to the curious or confused. The video and I certainly differ on some specific points of dogma, but the big picture is good – automate, tighten your feedback loops, throw away the old stuff, treat servers as software objects, move fast, apply laziness early on, build often, deploy often etc. Worth a look even if you're a grizzled veteran, I'd say.


The construction industry and the heavy equipment associated with it have great applications for the use of the ANSYS simulation tools. Whether it be improving safety, comfort, structural strength, or equipment reliability and fatigue life, ANSYS may be used to optimize these designs.
The most innovative companies in the construction industry use virtual prototyping to verify their products and buildings while still in the concept stage. The ANSYS software suite of structural, fluids, and electromagnetics provide the tool set to make this happen.

District 10 Report – December 1 2020
District Reports District 10
2020 NATs Report
Arsenal VG 36 Semi Scale Stunt Machine
By Alan Hieger
This is being written at the front end of the holiday season, as the countdown toward the end of the year begins. It's traditional to cast eyes backward across the preceding months and attempt to frame them within broader contexts and/or apply a meaningful label to forever make sense of the experience. It's that spirit which motivates this column.
Overall, no one will seriously dispute that 2020 has not been a good year for CLPA. As the current pandemic has left almost no aspect of our lives untouched, there's no surprise that our hobby has taken a significant hit. Although PAMPA and the AMA were able to successfully pull off the Nats competition almost as if everything were normal, the District l0/regional contest circuit was much more drastically affected. After the Southwest Regional Championships at the end of January and the Vintage Stunt Championships in March, the rest of the annual schedule effectively evaporated under a slew of restrictions on organized gatherings and the better judgment of would-be organizers.
Sport and practice flying have continued, but evidence across the district is spotty. As I'm located in the greater Los Angeles area, the most detailed information I've received covers Southern California. Insofar as my club, the Valley Circle Burners (San Fernando Valley based, at Sepulveda Basin) and the Knights of the Round Circle (L.A. Basin, at Whittier Narrows) have what appears to be a healthy continuing turnout among the "hard cores," who are flying under protocols which require flying from stooges and self-starting engines. Other than the regulars, however, the more occasional or casual flyers seem conspicuous by their relative absence. With the area's CLPA activity split between the two sites, plus Wednesdays at Freedom Park in Ventura County, racing action seems to have gravitated to the Basin, whereas the combat guys exploit the grass circles at Whittier Narrows.
There doesn't seem to be significant organized CLPA action in the San Diego (the state's 2nd-largest city) area, but a smattering of former top-shelf competition pilots (which we suspect includes Dave Sabon) continue to fly on a sport basis and coach up-and-coming competitors like Charles Carter.
Perhaps naturally, I hear less from the northern end of the state. I have only anecdotal evidence in hand, but the impression is that participation is down substantially, although I'm not sure whether this was meant to apply to the Woodland-Davis group, the gang up in Napa, or both.
Similarly, the impression made by correspondence from Arizona is of diminished activity in both the Phoenix and Tucson areas, but with documentary proof of significant building taking place of some nice stunt ships, all the better to be ready when competition conditions come back into being.
In Nevada, a small but highly dedicated group of CLPA flyers has been building an increasingly popular season-ending contest in Las Vegas for the past several years, only to be frustrated, like the rest of us, by this year's developments.
All I'm aware of out in Utah is that a couple of ex-competition notables still fly for fun, but there's no significant news coming in this direction.
As far as Hawaii and Guam go: not a peep in two years. There is definite evidence of RC action in both places from Model Aviation, but CL, much less CLPA? Nothing.
That's kind of the state of the district as 2020 slumps its way to a close. Looking forward to 2021, immediate prospects seem limited, but the future is more hopeful as you look farther out. As this is written, the outlook for the early part of the contest season is doubtful. With multiple covid vaccines in development simultaneously, the hope is that once one or more prove to be both effective and safe, the situation will improve to the point where sanctioned group activities become conceivable again during the back half of the year. It's a subjective judgment, but personally, I wouldn't count on major changes from the current situation before then, at least insofar as District 10 is concerned.
It seems that there are fewer new ships being turned out these days. It's hard to tell whether this is simply a result of our diminished numbers or if this year's relative dearth is due to reduced motivation stemming from the pandemic. Nevertheless, some photos of recent builds have found there way in this direction and can be shared here.
Paul Wescott, who splits his weekend field visits between the Circle Burners' and Knights' sites in the Los Angeles area, sent us a couple of pix of Warren Walker's latest, a Humongous.
"Warren's new Humongous. Warren Walker owned a sheet metal shop for years specializing in custom stainless steel for restaurant kitchens, and he's quite innovative. At one of the club meetings he used this Humongous (unfinished) to demonstrate his system for cutting squares out of blue painters' tape to create a checkerboard mask that won't drive you crazy."
Warren is in many ways the social pivot of the Knights of the Round Circle club. He and his wife Ramona routinely host club gatherings, many of which feature the Walkers' legendary barbecues. When asked for some tech details on the bird, Warren responded:
"The rest of the story is that it has an Enya .45 model 6001 swinging an 11-6 Rev-Up. Paint is an all-butyrate mix of Brodak and Certified. As Paul was saying, the squares are laid down one at a time. Probably took about ten to fifteen hours. As of now [This was mid-October], I have eight flights on it. I'm adding nose weight each flight and I am sneaking up on it."
Another ship which came off the bench recently, one which (in the words of the immortal Lilli Von Schtupp) came and went too soon, was this Time Machine 50 built by Bill Barber.
The Time Machine is Tom Dixon's downsized re-imagining of the late "Big Jim" Greenaway's Patternmaster design. Perhaps the most notable feature of Tom's redesign is the use of what he calls "kept foam" technology. This is basically a foam wing which, instead of being covered with one of the heat-shrink films or fully balsa sheeted, uses cord-wise balsa strips to simulate the cap strips of a traditional built-up wing structure.
Bill, who was President of the Valley Circle Burners for over a decade earlier in the millenium, employed a Stalker .50 on the front end for power. This engine is set up for the low- and zero-nitro fuels commonly used in Europe, and its care and feeding are somewhat different than the techniques used with the Japanese-origin, higher-nitro burning engines we more commonly use. It took Bill a while to get precisely the run he wanted out of the Stalker, and even longer to get the Time Machine field trimmed and adjusted to his preferences. Unfortunately, Bill didn't get to enjoy the ship in its perfected form for long, as it was demolished not long afterward as the result of a reversed-controls error. This always hurts, especially so when you haven't had the chance to wear the "new" off a ship.
Finally, to close out what has inadvertently become an all-California photo spread, take a look at Larry Wong's newest all-original design, his Zuriel.
The Zuriel is Larry's original design for F2B. The ship spans 60 inches, with a wing area of 630 squares. No word on the overall weight, but Larry notes that power is supplied by a PA .61, modulated by a Randy Smith tuned pipe and turning a carbon fiber three-blader.
The finish is classic all-butyrate, but the substrate was left unspecified.
Overall, a beautiful "jet-style" design with modern moments,

The former Kathiani legislator and the Machakos county gubernatorial aspirant in the successive 2013 and 2017 polls Hon. Wavinya Ndeti has come out to attack the incumbent Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua over poor leadership coined under his Super Chap Chap ideology.Addressing the congregation at Ekalakala in Masinga Sub County on Sunday 26th November, the CCU Party Leader criticized Mutua for his deliberate failure to withdraw the funds meant for Assembly.
Wavinya condemned the governor's imposed suffering to the Assembly Ward legislators well to its staff.
Tying Governor Mutua to turning the county administration as if it were his own home, Ms. Ndeti said there should be a complete explanation of the same from the County Boss.The former gubernatorial contestant expressed her dissatisfaction by Mutua's governance to inflicting pain among the locals through his stalked development projects.
"It's shocking that the governor has chosen to withhold MCAs salaries for two months, no law whatsoever permits one to withhold ones salary trying to control the county like his own home," unhappy Wavinya directed to Governor Alfred Mutua.
Her words were echoed by the Ekalakala MCA Hon. Stephen Mwanthi who rooted the governor to the dysfunctional state of the earlier initiated projects during his first tenure in office.The duo lamented over the threatening water scarcity in the county despite the governor having pledges to fight the same upon recapturing the seat for his second term.

Discovering DC on Foot
The best way to explore a city, especially a big, vibrant, cosmopolitan city (like Washington DC) is on foot. You might think that you won't be able to see as much as you would if you were in a car, train, or bus - but in fact the opposite is true. The most rewarding parts of a visit to a new city are the small, unexpected details. Everyone's seen the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building, but what makes the trip really yours is the little old lady who tells you about what used to stand on that empty lot, or the hidden alleyway filled with colorfully artistic murals. It's only by interacting with the city on a personal level - which can only be done at a human level, i.e. on foot - can you gain the most rewarding experiences from your visit.
So, during my first day in Washington, DC, it was a no-brainer that I would spend the day exploring on foot. What would I discover?
From Leslie's office near Dupont Circle, I walked south along 20th Street. There were office buildings everywhere; the sidewalk was clean and polished; and the restaurants were just opening up and preparing for the lunchtime rush. I stumbled upon the Mexican embassy, not too far from the White House, and then walked onto the campus of George Washington University. GWU's campus isn't laid out in much of a traditional sense; the buildings are interspersed into the neighborhood inconspicuously such that it's hard to tell when you are actually entering the university. It was still early, maybe 10am, so not too many students were walking around yet.
I discovered a plaque commemorating the American Meridian (or, Washington Meridian).
It was fascinating, especially for a geography nerd like me, to be standing on the line on which much of the U.S.'s surveying was based.
I wandered to the Watergate complex. Just past Watergate lay the Kennedy Center, standing bright and imposing with grand open spaces around it. I had to check out what was inside: I walked into the Hall of States, a huge hallway with the flag of every U.S. state hanging from the walls. On the other side of the building was the Hall of Nations, containing the flag of every country with which the U.S. has current diplomatic relations.
As I glanced at a free pamphlet, a man asked me if I'd like to join one of the free tours which was about to leave in 5 minutes. Why not? I thought. And before I knew it, I was spending the next hour being led around the grand Kennedy Center by the adorable old lady Gloria. The tour group consisted of me and a couple also from southern California (La Verne). It turned out to be an amazing and informative tour - I never realized what a treasure and a cultural resource the Kennedy Center is. Most of the artifacts in the building were donated by other countries to the U.S. after the assassination of President Kennedy: Chandeliers from Sweden; a grand chandelier from Austria; sculptures from France; an assortment of artwork from Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Côte d'Ivoire; an entire theater donated by Japan; and a wide assortment of artwork from China and Spain. The tour led us into the Opera House and the Eisenhower Theater.
The tour let us peek into the Presidential suites in each of the theaters. And after the hour-long tour, I was left to roam around the wide rooftop of the Kennedy Center, from which you can take in panoramic views of Washington DC and nearby Virginia.
It was almost 12:00 when I left the Kennedy Center, which meant time to meet Leslie lunch! We had planned to meet at a big food truck event called the "Curbside Cook-off" near Chinatown, which was halfway across the city. I walked quickly from the Kennedy Center across the city - passing GWU, the World Bank and IMF, and the White House.
It took 45 minutes, and the warm midday sun had made me tired, sweaty, and hungry. I met Leslie and we walked into the huge parking lot, in which a dozen or two food trucks were parked, and each truck had a queue of at least 100 people each. The choices were overwhelming, from lobster to Korean tacos to icy popsicles, but with all the people waiting for some food, Leslie and I just tried to find the shortest queue.
We waited about 10 minutes, barely moving an inch, before we decided to leave. As we were deciding where to go to, we happened upon my friend Jen from Berkeley, who had been waiting for much longer than we had.
Leslie and I walked toward Chinatown, which was only a block or two away, and we settled on having lunch at Five Guys. People have compared Five Guys to In-N-Out Burger, but having experienced both, it's easy for me to say that there is no comparison. In-N-Out is fresh, simple, and naturally flavorful; Five Guys's burger had a noticeable staleness which was only masked somewhat by the huge choice of topping they offer for you to customize your burger. The fries were also too salty for my liking. It's also unique for leaving boxes of peanuts open for people to just munch on. It feels like a local's joint, but too stale and sterile to be authentic.
The people of DC are dressed so professionally, and yet there are so many young people who seem fresh out of college. And so my overall impression of DC has been that of a career day everyday. I could detect a strong professional work ethic in the atmosphere, but very little creativity or artistry or craziness. It's hard to imagine living like that. Most people I passed seem unapproachable, frazzled and hurried on their way to another meeting, no doubt. Or perhaps they're just weighed down with the realization that their idealism of coming to Washington to change the world for the better must succumb to the realities of our bureaucratic political mess of a system.
I parted ways with Leslie and sipped on my Arnold Palmer as I walked around eastern downtown DC. My path eventually took me to the National Mall. There, right in front of the Natural History Museum, two girls asked me where the Natural History Museum was. I saw the sign and pointed them to the building right next to us. They were thankful for my help.
I found a shaded spot under a tree and lay down to rest.
I fell asleep. With the overnight flight, jet lag, and the miles of walking, I was more exhausted than I had imagined.
I awoke half an hour later, slightly re-charged, and checked out the nearby Museum of the American Indian. It was pleasant and clean inside, but I wasn't in the mood for a museum; I was itching to explore more of the city! So I stepped outside and was just in front of the U.S. Capitol.
I walked in front of the Capitol Reflecting Pool, taking pictures for myself and for other tourists there. I walked around the pool to the foot of the steps of the Capitol. I sat and stared out upon the National Mall, the Washington Monument in the distance and the grass beaming in the afternoon sun. I rested there for a while, enjoying the fact that I was on the steps of the Capitol of the United States, and watching tourists come and go. A couple of teenage congressional interns, dressed in their suits, exited the Capitol.

Pie shop may get KO'd by more condos in Southie
By Thomas Farragher Globe Columnist,September 8, 2015, 2:00 p.m.
A rendering of the development. Prince Lobel
Sam Jackson grew up in a coastal Australian city called Wollongong, about 50 miles south of Sydney, and his culinary skills have taken him all over the world. England. Scotland. The French Alps. Trinidad.
He's cooked for rich people on plush and private yachts. But when he landed in Boston about seven years ago, he noticed a gaping hole in our local cuisine. And he aimed to fill it.
"My background was all this high-end fancy stuff for millionaires and billionaires,'' Jackson said. "And I was like, yeah, but the meat pie to me is so humble, and I think I can get this across to more people. I just said, 'I've got to give this a crack.' So I just took the risk.''
And that was the birth of KO Pies, which took root in 2010 in South Boston, around the corner from the venerable Amrheins restaurant. A classic beef pie is $6.25, and he'll throw in a sausage roll for $3.75.
He's got a steady stream of regular catering and walk-in customers. He and his partners have expanded into an East Boston location.
Business is good. But maybe not for long.
KO Pies' little shop in Southie, on the corner of A and West Third streets, is being threatened by a huge condo development that — unless reasonableness intervenes at City Hall — will grow up and around it, creating a weird streetscape and long months of construction that could smother the small business.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority has approved the plans for some 100 condo units with retail shops on the first floor. The developer, Spaulding & Slye Investments, says it has dotted its i's and crossed its t's.
But the 37-year-old Jackson and his three partners feel railroaded. They say they've been shut out of the process. They say the city has changed its approval rules to accommodate the developer, a last-minute switch they equate with spot zoning. Jackson said he heard about community meetings only through word of mouth from loyal customers.
KO at the Shipyard in East Boston.
"Here's this modern, brand-new building, and then there's our little old building,'' Jackson said. "It doesn't make any sense. You don't have to be an architect or a city planner to look at it and go: What's that?''
Jackson and his partners sat down months ago with the developer. The two sides could not reach agreement on a deal to either incorporate KO Pies into the new site or buy it out and allow it to flourish elsewhere.
When a community group was formed by local officials to review plans for the development, Jackson and his partners weren't on it. Jackson said he tried — and failed — to get the attention of South Boston City Councilor Bill Linehan.
I called the council president last week to ask him about that. A staff member said he'd call me back. But Linehan, doubtlessly busy over his abacus trying to figure out his pension once that big raise goes through, never did.
What's going on here? This is not urban planning. This is a failure of urban planning.
Now, some people have whispered in my ear that what's at play here is greed. Sam Jackson didn't get the money he wanted, so he's taking his ball and going home.
Wait a minute. The guy has built a thriving business from scratch. He employs 14 people in two locations. If I had a nickel for every time a local politician lovingly embraced the virtues of mom-and-pop business, I'd be retired in Tahiti. The guy deserves fair compensation — and fair treatment.
The BRA's approval of the Spaulding & Slye development was an important milepost, not the end of the process. There's time for reason to prevail.
The BRA should go back to the drawing board. Broker a deal so the Duck Tours don't have to add another stop, at which the driver points out a weird corner where a little pie company is shoehorned into a large condo complex and the tourists all laugh like crazy.
To Sam Jackson, that's not funny.

When I first moved to Washington, DC in 2010, I knew I wanted to do something good for people, something worthwhile. I was introduced to the non-profit Congressional Coalition Adoption Institute through a friend at the church I had recently joined, who connected me with Becky Weichhand, the Director of Policy at the time.
They exposed me to the philosophy of "missional living" and that's what the institute does – it's not missionary, and it's not charity– it's life on a mission. I had no idea at the time, but CCAI would change my life, just like it changed the lives of so many former foster kids.
As soon as I got there, I was thrown into the Foster Youth Internship (FYI) Program. It's a program that invites former foster kids to apply for a dual internship with CCAI and members of the House and Senate. They live in college dorms and spend their days working in Congressional offices and evenings and weekends working on policy papers they present in a briefing at the end of the summer. And of course, having fun (like a trip to Hershey Park) and attending financial literacy classes, going shopping with clothing stipends and generally having a great time in our nation's capitol (they are still largely kids, after all)!
These former foster kids had worked hard to be there. They had to be college graduates (only about 3% of kids who age out of foster care graduate from college) and they went through a lengthy application process. There are only 12 spots per summer, so the program is very selective.
2019 Applications are now live, by the way!
As for me and my co-workers, we pored over their applications and personal statements, oriented them to the program, supported them in their work in their offices, and eventually pulled all-nighters, helping these amazing young men and women put their policy recommendations into the right format and preparing them to brief members of Congress. These twenty-somethings were just getting started in their professional careers, had virtually outside no support, and we got to be an extended family. Of course, these young adults are all now are a part of CCAI's forever family.
It's one of the most amazing things I've ever been a part of, watching brave young kids who had grown up in foster care research a policy they had lived through or lived without – refining it and then presenting it to Congress to help kids who were still in foster care. Many of their policy recommendations were acted on and introduced as legislation.
Pictured here the 2012 class of Foster Year Interns, the Fall Class of Office interns, and 2012 CCAI Staff on the day the 2012 FYI's presented their policy papers to members of congress in a briefing.
Fast forward to last month, at the National Adoption Month kickoff happy hour, where I was honored to hear a young lady named Keri Hope Richmond, who had been through the Foster Youth Internship program, as the master of ceremonies. A former foster child, she was now the one talking about the need for forever families, and explaining why so many now give to their "FYI Giving Tree" initiative for former foster kids, to help them with the basics most young adults need (in most states, once a foster kid turns 18, he's completely on his own). She later talked to me about a program called "Fostering the Future" which is run by FYI program alumnus. Keri is the main liaison for the program.
Keri at the National Adoption Month Event, pictured above the "Giving Tree"
This group of former interns is now raising money to give back to the program they benefited from, to fully-fund CCAI for their work and to deepen the impact they can have on the lives of former foster youth.
Talk about paying it back and forward!
If you are looking for a great way to get involved in helping kids and young people (sounds like a great New Year's Resolution) this is a great place to start. As anyone knows who has worked for a small non-profit organization, every dollar counts.
So your volunteer work, donation or in-kind contribution to CCAI makes a big difference.! To donate your time, in-kind, cash, or sponsorship visit or contact Kate McLean at [email protected] to learn more about supporting the Foster Youth Interns through Fostering the Future or FYI Giving Tree.
This is one of the organizations we are helping to sponsor in 2019 - not just because of the financial need, or the obstacles these young people have overcome, or our belief in kids and young people, but because we all need to be a part of something hopeful. We all need to focus on what we can do to improve the world around us. It's the Christmas season after all!

Shining bright, shining light
Creeps in round the bend
Who knew the end in sight
Would be the helping hand we lend
Perhaps a wish could be a dream
And a dream could be an action
Things aren't as bleak as they may seem
Just need a little direction
Sweet hope creeps in so quietly
You may not see it's eye
Hope restores the lonely
Brings back what could have died
To be the thing we think we need
Lies within our grasp
You may think there's not power in the seed
But you didn't stop to ask!

Mavericks lose to Wolverines | Football
Meadowdale and Bellevue both wanted to establish their running game.
The Wolverines won the battle on both sides of the line with an offense that did not punt the ball the entire night and a defense that largely contained the Mavericks.
Bellevue advanced to the state football playoffs with a 57-21 victory in a week 10 matchup Friday, Nov. 8, at Bellevue High School.
"Throughout the game I think they only had two passes. They're a running team," Meadowdale coach James Harmon said. "They did it better than we did. They weren't physically dominant. They aren't gigantic. … They play really hard and they execute really well. They're a well-oiled machine."
Bellevue (8-2 overall) took a 29-0 lead into halftime on three touchdown runs of 2, 49 and 20 yards and an 11-yard TD pass.
Meadowdale's offense finally found its footing on the first drive of the third quarter when senior quarterback Hunter Moen found senior wide receiver Mason Vaughn on a 28-yard touchdown pass. After the Wolverines scored on a 75-yard touchdown run, Moen connected with Vaughn on a 15-yard scoring strike. Then in the fourth quarter Moen found Vaughn on a 76-yard touchdown pass.
Meadowdale went 4-2 in the Wesco 3A South and finished 5-5 overall.
"I would consider it a successful year," Harmon said. "The team won more games this year than the last two years. We did not have a losing season for the first time in three years. Obviously, we wanted to win a couple more games. The future is bright. We've laid the framework and the groundwork for future Meadowdale football teams."
Harmon was impressed by the way the Mavericks responded to adversity during the season with schedule changes and weather-related delays.
"There were a few times were our resiliency was tested," Harmon said. "The kids showed the ability to adapt and overcome."
The senior class that included Moen, Vaughn, Colton Walsh and Alex Krueger definitely are going to be missed. Moen handled the change from a pass-oriented offense to one more focused on the run well.
"He accounted for 25 or 26 touchdowns this year, both running and passing," Harmon said. "It was a whole new offense designed to keep him attacking both running and passing. I think he thrived. He set the example for future quarterbacks coming up."
This was Vaughn's second year of playing high school football. He was convinced to come back to the sport by former coach Matt Leonard.
"He is one of hardest workers and it shows," Harmon said of the senior wide receiver/defensive back. "He's the kind of athlete you want on your team."
Harmon said that a different style of program was established this season. Meadowdale is now known as a hard-nosed team that looks to establish the run first.
"From here on out, there's no question about what we're about," Harmon said.

She joined the Lung Foundation Australia as Chair of the Bronchiectasis Consumer Advisory Committee in 2020 and feels she can share her experiences and her passion to make a real difference, shedding light across a wider spread community and greater awareness.
Bronchiectasis Deputy Chair: Sharon McInerney
Sharon brings an extensive professional experience to the role of Deputy Chair of the Bronchiectasis Consumer Advisory Committee, as a nurse, midwife, and maternal and child health nurse.
Sharon, living with bronchiectasis, feels very privileged to be involved with Lung Foundation Australia and on this Committee. Sharon looks forward to being able to work together to increase both community and professional awareness of the disease, and enable earlier diagnosis, with the hope to increase understanding and support for those living everyday with lung disease.
Lung Cancer Deputy Chair: Tom Wood
In 2016, Tom's mother Kym was unexpectedly diagnosed with lung cancer (EGFR), which was a huge shock. He soon became aware of the massive inequities that exist for lung cancer in Australia, including in services, support and research. He tried to advocate for better services, support and research by contributing to Facebook support groups, being involved in research projects and attending medical and scientific events, pushing for innovative and patient-friendly research and care. Tom hopes to use his position on the Lung Cancer Consumer Advisory Committee to advise and advocate for Lung Foundation Australia to do the most effective job of representing patients and families and influence change.
Rare Lung Disease Deputy Chair: Bill Van Neirop
Bill welcomed the opportunity to become part of the Rare Lung Disease Consumer Advisory Committee after 5 years of trying to utilise community events to change the public's perceptions of lung disease, and endeavouring to influence support for those impacted by chronic rare lung diseases. He sought out Lung Foundation Australia after diagnosis with IPF some 5 years ago as a partner to help guide and provide the capabilities to support community ventures, and to be a conduit to ensure any funds raised were utilised to support research and patient programs. Bill brings significant experience in respect to designing, planning, and implementing programs after too many years to count in the commercial corporate business sector. His objectives have always been to play a small part in improving the lives of people impacted with an rare lung diseases through additional specific and targeted support for both patients and the often-forgotten carers.


Nelson Mandela notionem ubuntu explicat (Anglice).
Ubuntu (Zulu/Xhosa [ùɓúnt'ú]), sive uMunthu (Chichewa), est ethica vel humanistica philosophia ex Africa Austrina exorta, quae ad fides et fraternitatis coniunctiones hominum inter se spectat. Nonnulli credunt ubuntu esse philosophiam vel sententiam mundi Africanam classicam; alii autem dicunt id esse notionem quae in fontibus scriptis per alterum saeculi vicensimi dimidium evoluta est. Vocabulum ubuntu ex linguis Bantu Africae Austrinae deducitur.

New Postdoctoral Fellow Positions Available to Study the Basic Mechanisms of Multiple Sclerosis
Posted on 2019-03-20 | by admin
Join a dynamic, world-class, generously funded basic and translational science team. The laboratory of Dr. Michael Levin offers personalized mentorship, state of the art laboratory facilities, customized coursework, highly competitive compensation, and the opportunity for basic scientists to work hand-in-hand with clinicians in Saskatoon City Hospital and the University of Saskatchewan.
The laboratory of Dr. Michael Levin in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology & Pharmacology and Neurology at the University of Saskatchewan has positions currently available for a Postdoctoral Fellow to study the role of abnormalities in the immune and nervous systems and how these abnormalities contribute to the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The laboratory is located in Saskatoon City Hospital, as part of the Cameco MS Neuroscience Research Center. For more information about the lab and Dr. Levin, please visit http://research-groups.usask.ca/skms-office/.
The long-term goal of research in the Levin Lab is to better understand the cause of neurodegeneration, a salient feature and cause of permanent disability in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. For more than 20 years, we have studied the function of the RNA binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein A1 (hnRNP A1 -'A1'), with a focus on 'M9'. M9 is A1's nucleocytoplasmic transport domain and is required for transport of A1 between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Our lab has discovered that MS patients make antibodies to M9 and the brains and lymphocytes of MS patients contain somatic DNA mutations within M9. Using a number of molecular, in vitro and in vivo techniques, our data indicate that DNA mutations within M9 and autoimmunity to M9 result in A1 dysfunction and subsequent neuronal and axonal degeneration. Using this model, we examine potential mechanisms of neurodegeneration in MS resulting from A1 dysfunction.
The applicant should have a Doctorate degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, neuroscience or a related field. Experience in research using one or more of the following is necessary; mouse models, cell culture work, imaging techniques (immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry), protein analyses (Western Blot), PCR and qPCR, cloning, DNA sequencing and human tissue analyses. Knowledge of data analysis and interpretation using statistical software is required.
The individual should be independent, self-motivated and should be able to perform tasks with modest supervision after receiving appropriate training. Applicants must have the ability to adhere to tight deadlines, be detail oriented, and possess organizational skills, and keep meticulous records. As the laboratory is a shared space, strong interpersonal skills are necessary. Demonstrated ability for independent thought, advanced study, and research. Successful applicants will be expected to apply for external funding opportunities.
Applicants should send the following documents to the Office of the Saskatchewan MS Clinical Research Chair via email to Ms. Colleen Cochran, colleen.cochran@usask.ca:
Current CV with list of laboratory experience
Names and detailed contact information of three referees, one of whom should be your PhD research supervisor
Statement of interest
Applicants are required to apply and be admitted to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, at the University of Saskatchewan in order to fill the position. Candidates whose first language is not English may be required to provide a certificate of English proficiency. The English language requirements for a foreign candidate can be found at the CGPS website, as well as application requirements (www.usask.ca/cgps/).

Becoming a personal trainer can prove to be one of the most rewarding careers you could take on. Helping clients to get in shape and take control of their lives is one part of the job that many others do not enjoy. The Fitness Trainer Academy is your source for the best personal trainer certification in Houston, delivering comprehensive courses and hands-on learning to give our students all of the tools they need to thrive in the field. You can become a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) trainer with our quality teachings. Today, we'll build on last week's blog that focused on personal training tips that you can focus on to benefit your clients more than ever. From sports nutrition certification to business management tips, we're here to deliver the best tools possible!
One of the most common statements you'll hear is "The health aspect is great, but I really just want to look good!" While we understand the value of having that godlike physique, it's important for you as a certified personal trainer to focus on the overall health of your clients. Creating a system that focuses on proper diet and fitness will be much more helpful in the long run in comparison to focusing on looking good. It's on you to help people live a long, healthy life.
As our sports nutrition courses will dictate, diet has a major effect on fitness and weight loss. When your client shows up for their first session, it's wise to promote nutrition and hydration through every step of the process. Keeping a balanced diet and optimal liquid intake will help people to thrive and progress, making everyone involved feel great. Be sure to promote a healthy meal and adequate water during the workout, where ingraining these habits is a wise practice. Eating clean and drinking plenty will help you all to have a more productive session!
Many citizens join a gym with the intention of seeing those LBs drop off the scale. While weighing yourself is good for measuring weight loss results, it's not a solid indicator of overall health. Initially, the loss of water weight will give clients a source of excitement, where the pounds are just shedding off. Once hydrated, though, the weight comes back. As people begin to work out more, their muscle mass increases. This increase in dense muscles may reflect on the scale, where you feel better but your weight is still increasing. Keeping your clients' attention off of the scale will keep them motivated and keep you in place as a trusted source for fitness!
When it comes to becoming an NASM trainer, you'll be expected to provide the best instructions and optimal results. It's important to focus on a few areas that often slow down people's results, putting it on you as the fitness guru for solutions. Next time, we'll conclude this blog series by discussing a few more tips that can help your clients get in shape and feel good quicker and with less frustration. The Fitness Trainer Academy provides the best personal trainer certifications in Houston, delivering comprehensive instruction with guidance and clarity. Contact us today to sign up for our personal trainer courses!

Q: Sharepoint Dynamic navigation permissions I know that this has been discussed on serverfault before:
https://serverfault.com/questions/87390/sharepoint-site-showing-up-even-though-user-has-no-permissions-to-it
Kevin Davis was nice to chime in, but never answered the question.
So without touching the NavNodes table and without using some complicated C# code, how would one be able to either disable or simply not show a navigation item if the user doesn't have the proper permission.
The dynamic navigation is nice, but it's pointless to have an item from the navigation show up if the user doesn't have permission to access the page in the first place.
Is there a way to setup permissions on the navigation itself? Or have it be aware that the user cannot view the page that the navigation links to and thus is against common sense to display it?
Any help would be appreciated. The issue I'm currently battling is the 'Parent' site link showing up when visiting a sub/child-site. The user has access to the sub-site but not the parent site, yet the dynamic navigation is showing that link.
Thanks!

A: Hello does SpSecurityTrimming not do this very thing and also I thought the navigation was trimmed by default?
I.e. if I dont have permissions to view a list it will not appear in the navbar or quick launch
Thanks
Matt

A: I'm having the same problem with the Quick Launch and it's been driving me crazy.
Right now I have a web part that I've put in the master page that checks what user is looking at the page. Based on that user's permissions to the lists displayed on the Quick Launch navigation it displays/deletes the nodes.
This works for the most part but I think it might cause issues. If one user loads a page on the sharepoint site, the navigation changes for everyone. I'm thinking that once more than 1 or 2 people are using it, the web part won't work so well.
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Have you tried this solution? I feel like this is something Sharepoint should already do.

A: Thanks for the help, guys! I looked into the SPSecurityTrimming and found these blogs:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/chad/archive/2009/12/03/tip-12_3a00_-hide-in-plain-view-with-sharepoint_3a00_spsecuritytrimmedcontrol.aspx
http://sympmarc.com/2008/12/31/spsecuritytrimmedcontrol-possible-values-for-permissionsstring/
This was just what I was looking for.

The Synthesis Trophy Of Kingdom Heart 3
I don't believe it would be a bona fide RPG which doesn't include consequential action of crafting, and this game doesn't display a tad bit of mortification with the array of options of crafting in the Workshop of the Moogles which is the welcome homecoming of Synthesis in the series of Kingdom Hearts. As always, one needs an exposition of materials of synthesis so as to construct these. However, bringing these materials together isn't a piece of cake.
However, synthesis is something worth doing. Once the Kingdom Heart 3 photo missions have been completed, and the blue prints have been unlocked, the next step which needs to be followed is to make use of these blueprints to develop new, formidable items that would be used in the battle. In case of situations arising during the game, like tacking post-game Kingdom Heart 3 battle gates, one needs the finest gear so they can get their hands on. A few items in line include the key blade upgrades or the crafting of the ultimate weapon, which require few discrete materials. But worry not, because that is where we provide ways to rescue.
In the subsequent trailing pages, we mention a list of all the items of synthesis available in Kingdom Heart 3, along with the methods of cultivating them by overpowering a specific set of enemies in a specific set of regions which are expected to drop these synthesis materials. The below guide is still something which requires alteration because there is always something new to add to the non-exhaustive drop list. So, in case you feel we have missed anything out, please remind us of the same in the comment section below.
The major part of getting the Synthesis trophy is finding the locations of the Synthesis Material ingredients. These materials are the rarest and the "key ingredients" and help to craft the upgrade to all the key blades in Kingdom Hearts 3. Here is our list of the major ingredients:
Fluorite can be used as the most important and most often used item or ingredients in the upgrading of the key blades and the synthesis of various items in the Kingdom of Hearts 3. One can get these fluorites while doing the various missions of Gummi Ship. Simply shooting at the various asteroids will lead to them dropping the fluorite. After reaching a specific or a particular, fluorite will become available for vending in shops of Moogle for approximately 500 money.
It is yet another item that is an important element in crafting and shaping the importance of the key blades. You can easily find it here: Similar to the finding of Fluorite, one can also find Damascus in space while flying the Gummi Ship. Damascus will be dropped by from these asteroids and various distinct kinds of crystals which can be destroyed with the weapons which you hold in your possession. Look for and find those specific blue colored crystals which show in all of the three regions of the space – Eclipse, The Star Light Way, and the third being The Misty Stream.
It is another integral and difficult to find material but has the properties and characteristics which are similar to the ones of the few of the ingredients of the synthesis. One can find these while being present inside the Gummi Ship. The world map of the kingdom hearts 3 synthesis guide as mentioned above is divided in 3 different regions
It is a kind of vanilla, which is as difficult to find as the Orichalcum Plus and it shall be cultivated only from the asteroids blasting in Eclipse.
Like Damascus and Adamantite, kingdom hearts 3 orichalcum can be witnessed in space in the ship of Gummi. These are only found inside the eclipse from blasting asteroids and they are fairly rare. The only thing to be made sure is that the ability of gummi is equipped to increase the drop rates. All you have to do then is relax and wait for some moment.
These can also crop up in treasure boxes in the region of the Caribbean. One might not find these gathered here and there to be mustered, but a few of them can be grabbed from the confidential valuables trove which can be found in the southernmost end of the Sandbar Island.
Another one of the high-end key blade upgrade ingredients is the Orichalcum Plus – it appears in various processes of synthesis as well, which includes being a member of creating the Ultimate Weapon. These can be grabbed in a few distinct regions – the total number being seven in here, and acquiring all of them is required so as to construct the Weapon Ultima.
Valuable Chest Found In The Caribbean: In the Island of Exile in the Treasure or Chest of valuables.
Treasure Chest found In The End World (at Graveyard of Keyblade): After one has been sent to the End World and has returned from the Graveyard of Keyblade, one can make a comeback with the help of a teleporter which is red in color, and in the same place one will find the chest of riches and valuables which also consists of Orichalcum.
Postcard Of Shop Of Moogles: Obtained as a complete non conscious reward while mailing a Postcard that has been obtained from the shop of moogles.
The goal is to acquire all the ten kh3 arendelle treasures which can be established in the mini-game. These can later be accessed by having a conversation with Elsa who is present at the ridge of the mountains.
Reward Of Lucky Emblems: Click multiple pictures of all of the 80 emblems which are considered to be lucky.
Gummi Ship: Once the Machine of Omega present in Eclipse has been defeated, the Gummiship represents the rank-5 boss which needs the completion of other battles occurring in the region, and then this boss surfaces at the topmost of this pyramid.
KINGDOM HEARTS Ⅲ_20190131150311
With the completion of the major ingredients, let's focus on the various distinct materials of synthesis in kh3 synthesis guide. The other items are quite rare, but mostly they all come from encounters of the enemies in Kingdom Hearts 3 (few other methods in some cases) – Below we list the various worlds and which enemies one can culture to seek the materials of synthesis one needs to drop.
With the completion of the synthesis of all the important materials and being done with them, it's now time for the gamers to turn their eyes towards the synthesis process of the other ingredients in Kingdom Hearts 3.
These items which are not the most significant ones but still have a role to play vary in the context of rarity but for a larger portion, these are dropped down by the encounters of the enemies which are heartless to a very large extent.
Vermilion Samba – the heartless enemy from Farm blazing Shard in the region of Olympus or the area of Bizarre Archer- the heartless enemy in the Corona Kingdom.
Once the game ends, the Blazing Shards and the Blazing Stone both are released in the very first battle gate.
This heartless enemy drops the Blazing Stone in the world of Olympus.
Post this, the heartless enemy of Pole Cannon descends another Stone of Blazing in San Fransikyo.
The section of Rail Grind can release the Blazing Gem in either San Fransokyo or Olympus
Finally on the game coming to an end, one can get the Crystals of Blazing from the 12th Battlegate , which are considered one among the difficult challenges
The heartless enemy of Winterhorn descends the Frost Shards in Arendelle
Arendelle also experiences the fall of Frost Stone from the heartless enemy – Frost Serpent.
There are also chances of dropping Frost stone from the region of Caribbean in the Sprite Sea.
Frost gems can also be obtained from targeting the wings of the serpents of Frost in the region of Arendelle. The snowballs can be ridden and can be broken open once the storage capability is enough for the extra gems.
Finally, the Crystals of the Frost looks like the sporadic drop obtained from the Serpent of the Frost.
The Shards of Lightning are brought into light in the form of tiny drops from the Heartless Soldier in Arendelle.
San Fransokyo experiences the exquisite drop of Lighting Gem from the heartless enemy – Tireblade.
Once the story gets completed, one can obtain the Lighting Crystals, Shards and Stones as droplets from the oppoentsin the 4th gate of battle.
Battlegate 1 receives the droplets of the Gems of Lightning as well.
Irrespective, the supreme location for getting Crystal of Lightning is the 12th battle gate.
One can receive the Shards of Betwixt from the nobody enemy – Dusk
The Sniper nobody drops this stone at a place in San Fransikyo
In Arendelle one can see the drop of the Betwixt Gem from the nobody enemy – Reaper.
Post-Game, all the four kinds of synthesis items and materials of Betwixt can be dropped from the 9th Battle gate.
The Nobody enemy – Dusk drops the Twilight Shards as well as the Twilight Stones.
The Gem & Crystals of Twilight meanwhile dropped from that one gambler which was found by no one in the region of Caribbean.
For Shard, Stone and Gems of Twilight, enemies inside drop them in the 9th battle gate once the challenges get unbolted.
To get the Twilight Crystal, the Gambler enemies need to be defeated. Reach the Fort of the world of Caribbean and pave your way towards the Settlement. From there, one may come across four on the bridge. One needs to head towards the docks and look for as much as four others in the process of clearing. From the Point of Save in the Docks, run again in the direction of the Fort and reiterate the process.
The heartless – Shadow generates drops of Writhing Shards and Stones.
The Fluttering enemies found in Monstropolis also drop the Writhing Gems and Shards.
One can also find a group in Corona Kingdom by only fighting the heartless bat type in the hollow which ultimately led to the Tower of Rapunzel.
The heartless – Popcats in the store of video games available in the world of Toy Box drop both the Hungry Shard and the Hungry Stone. One may find them in Arendelle too, located at some distance from the Point of Gorge Save.
The enemies of the Earth core descend the Hungry Shards at times. These elemental enemies can be found Heartless in the region of Olympus.
Arendelle has Frost serpent which releases the rare gem called the Hungry gem. One can receive Hungry Crystals by blowing up the tails right before they put themselves beneath the ice.
The Pulsing Shards and Pulsing Stones manifest themselves from the heartless Power wild. They are a part of the Corona kingdom.
Olympus finds the enemy of the core of Earth. They drop the Pulsing Shards.
For gems of pulsing, hit a heartless Satire in the region of Arendelle. Such foes can also have the opportunity of dropping the Stones of Pulsing.
One can receive both the Stones and the gems of Pulsing by hitting a globe in the Room of Andy,
In case one needs the Crystal of Pulsing, find the heartless – Large Body which is very basic across the game. Pulsing Crystal tends to be amongst the most difficult items for dropping, hence they are considered making them synthesis.
The process of knocking down the asteroids and the blue coloured crystals can sometimes drop the shards and the stones of Mythrill.
You also have the opportunity to actually create Shards, Gems, Stones and Crystal thorugh synthesis using materials of Betwixt and those of Twilight.
You may also grab the items of Mythril from demolishing the objects located on Arendelle within the Labyrinth.
These items of the Sinister can only be dropped down from Un versed, something a player can only find in the place called, Monstropolis.
The various items like the Sinister stones, and the gems and the shards can be collected as droplets from the enemies of Flower Snake in the world of Monstropolis.
These crystals of Sinister may be looked for in the region of Monstropolis. All that you need to do is look for the heartless enemy named Spiked Turtle Toad. You can also find these crystals in the region of Tank Yard.
For the stones and the shards, all that you need to do is search for and find Lady Parasol.
These Well Spring Shards can also be found in the Corona Kingdom which are dropped from the Power Wild enemy.
For collecting the stones, you need to look out for the Pogo Voshel enemy in the region of Monstropolis.
These stones can also be collected from Pole Cannon enemies in the area of San Fransysko.
The WellSpring gems can be gathered from the region of Turtle Toad in Monstropolis.
You can either try the Tire blade or the Air Soldier enemies so as to catch the crystals of Well Spring.
The Malachito Bolero drops the shards of Lucid in the Corona kingdom.
In order to grab the Lucid stone, you need to defeat the heartless Air Soldier which are common to a large extent throughout the game.
To get your hands onto the Lucid gems, you are required to defeat the heartless Chief Puff again in the Kingdom Corona. For a reminder, this Chief Puff also forms an objective for the Photo Missions of KH3.
For the Lucid Crystals, you have to go to Aisle of Luck situated in the Caribbean which is the fastest way to grab these crystals.
The Toy Soldiers drop these Soothing Shards in the world of Toy Box, especially in the region of Kids Korral.
You can also get one of these shards in the Watercourse in the Carribean.
You need to defeat a heartless Marine Rumba in the Caribbean or Arendialle in so as to get your hands on the Soothing Stones.
For the Soothing Gems, you are required to defeat the Spear Lizard heartless in the Caribbean.
For all these Soothing Synthesis materials can be dropped from the enemies in the battlegate number 10 once unbolted.
The Synthesis Trophy of Kingdom Hearts 3 can be acquired by the synthesis of all the 88 kinds of different equipment and implements and the materials which are secured in the game of the Kingdom Hearts 3. These materials and the equipment can be crafted within the Workshop of the Moogles.
To find the Synthesis Trophy of the Kingdom Hearts 3, the gamers are required to discover the correct materials and equipment and the items from the stock which is provided in the game.
The gamers can secure the materials in their own possession by defeating the various enemies they come across in the game, destroying the items which could be broken, by the completion of the collector goals, by robbing the treasure chests, and last but not the least, through the synthesis of the various materials which are available.
The gamers also have the ability to get the right items and recipes by completing all the missions of the Photos and at the same time complete the Collectors Goal. The goals of the Collectors can only be completed if the player is able to bring to the table a particular amount of each specific material to the Workshop held by the Moogles. This amount of a specific material can vary widely, starting from 1 to 1000 of a single one of them.
The gamers can also unbolt the Photo Missions by finishing the stories and the players are also required to click pictures of any particular location or personality, In order to unlock all of the recipes provided in the Kingdom Hearts 3, the gamers or the players are required to click at least 20 photographs and collect and bring in a minimum of 58 distinct variety of materials.

Jeff Goldblum Opens Up About Independence Day Sequel
By WENN in Movies / TV / Theatre on 24 June 2015

Jeff Goldblum Has Given Independence Day Fans A Sneak Peek At The Sequel's Plot, Revealing His Character David Levinson Is Now The Director Of An "Earth Space Defence" Organisation.

The actor is one of the stars returning for the sequel to the 1996 alien invasion blockbuster, and during a live fan chat on Monday (22Jun15), he opened up about the new movie, Independence Day Resurgence.
He said, "The year is 2016; the world has advanced time-wise in exactly real time but the events of 1996 that we made up have happened. So the world is different and I am now the director of this earth space defence.
"It's my job to lead the way and make sure everybody's safe on this precious and beautiful planet. And all our lovely species can live well. Now we're facing that last challenge; we're all working across borders which aren't relevant the same way and that's a beautiful idea in the brotherhood and sisterhood of mankind.
"The technology that we found from the downed (alien) ships has been appropriated and married with some of our technologies so we're ready with a bigger punch and some bigger shields."

Pollution to be blamed for cold wave in North India
Experts said in cold air pollutants accumulate in the atmosphere, especially in the absence of wind, pushing up air pollution levels.
Urmi Goswami
NEW DELHI: One big reason for the long spell of extreme cold weather in Delhi and many parts of North India this winter season — affecting road, rail and air traffic almost every day and claiming tens of lives — is rising air pollution, say scientists.
Delhi's air quality, which was adjudged to be the worst among world cities by the WHO in May, worsened as winter approached because of smog and fog, caused by vehicular and factory emissions staying close to the ground in heavy cold air. And fog impacts day temperature by blocking sunshine.
"The fog keeps the day-time temperatures low, making it colder," said climate scientist Ajit Tyagi, who holds the Koteswaram chair in the ministry of earth sciences. Since mid-December, Delhi and north India have been experiencing unusually cold weather even though there has been no appreciable dip in the minimum temperature.
This is not unusual for Delhi. A 2007 paper by RK Jenamani of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), analysing hourly fog and temperature data for December and January at the IGI Airport and Safdarjung Airport for the period between 1960 and 2005, established a link between pollution and lower winter temperatures.
The paper titled 'Alarming Rise in Fog and Pollution Causing a Fall in Maximum Temperature over Delhi' established that pollutants as like particulate matter and aerosol act as additional sources of cloud condensation nuclei necessary for fog formation, which lead to lowering of maximum day time temperatures.
Global warming and melting Arctic ice caps were causing the jet stream to become more extreme, leading to the transplanting of unusually cold weather into the midlatitudes. Matters were aggravated in Delhi and north India by unusually high levels of particulate matter in the air, which led to persistent foggy conditions.
The situation has only worsened. In November, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee found that levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air, as per data from the six stations that it monitors, remained on an average at least three to four times the 24-hour standard of 60 micrograms per cubic metre. DS Pai of IMD's National Climate Centre said fog on account of pollution and moisture in air has aggravated the current cold spell by limiting sunshine.
Experts said in cold air pollutants accumulate in the atmosphere, especially in the absence of wind, pushing up air pollution levels. In part this is explained by the increase in the quantity of wood and other substances being burnt for heating, especially by the poor, homeless and those doing outdoor duty.
Experts said clear skies for a couple of days after the rains last weekend vindicated this point, explaining that the rains and winds helped wash out the build-up of pollutants and fog. A recent multi-institution study has found that Delhi's air has higher concentrations of harmful components such as lead, zinc and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in winter season.
The study by University of Birmingham, the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, the Central Road Research Institute, and the Desert Research Institute, US, was based on data collected between December 2013 and January 2014 from an area adjacent to a heavy traffic site on Mathura Road, an area influenced by industrial emissions in Delhi.

Q: Check with which template parameter a class was instantiated (compile time) I try to write a metafunction type_par_same_as that selects true_type whenever the template parameter(s) of a class match the given types:
Demo
#include <type_traits>
#include <concepts>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdio>

template <template <typename...> class Template, typename T>
struct type_par_same_as_impl : std::false_type {};

template <template <typename...> class Template, typename... Args>
struct type_par_same_as_impl<Template<Args...>, Args...> : std::true_type {};

template <template <typename...> class Template, typename... Args>
concept type_par_same_as = type_par_same_as_impl<Template, Args...>::value;

int main()
{

    std::vector<int> vint;
    std::vector<std::string> vstring;
    if constexpr (type_par_same_as<decltype(vint), int>) {
        printf("Vector instantiated with type int!\n");
    }
}

Here's what I'm getting:
<source>:11:56: error: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for 'template<template<class ...> class Template, class T> struct type_par_same_as_impl'
   11 | struct type_par_same_as_impl<Template<Args...>, Args...> : std::true_type {};
      |                                                        ^
<source>:11:56: note:   expected a class template, got 'Template<Args ...>'

My approach was that a raw template template parameter just takes in any specialization of a template, say e.g. std::vector (without type). Then I SFINAE-out class types that don't match the template specialization Template<Args...> (e.g. std::vector<int> in case int was given as Args) and I should receive true_type for all class types where this can be done. But my logic seems to be off at some point. Where did I go wrong?

A: Here's how to make it compile:
template <class Template, typename... T>
struct type_par_same_as_impl : std::false_type {};

template <template <typename...> class Template, typename... Args>
struct type_par_same_as_impl<Template<Args...>, Args...> : std::true_type {};

template <class Template, typename... Args>
concept type_par_same_as = type_par_same_as_impl<Template, Args...>::value;

But it won't work with your test case as std::vector<int> is really std::vector<int, std::allocator<int>> and you're passing only the int of the two. So you need:
int main()
{

    std::vector<int> vint;
    std::vector<std::string> vstring;
    if constexpr (type_par_same_as<decltype(vint), int, std::allocator<int>>) {
        printf("Vector instantiated with type int!\n");
    }
}

A: This can work as originally intended, if, expanding on lorro's answer, Args... are placed in a non-deduced context so they're only deduced from the explicitly passed template parameters, and not the parameters which which std::vector is instantiated, by making use of std::type_identity:
#include <type_traits>
#include <vector>

template <typename Template, typename... Args>
struct type_par_same_as_impl : std::false_type {};

template <template <typename...> typename Template, typename... Args>
struct type_par_same_as_impl<Template<std::type_identity_t<Args>...>, Args...>
    : std::true_type {};

template <typename Template, typename... Args>
concept type_par_same_as = type_par_same_as_impl<Template, Args...>::value;

static_assert(type_par_same_as<std::vector<int>, int, std::allocator<int>>);
static_assert(type_par_same_as<std::vector<int>, int>);
static_assert(not type_par_same_as<std::vector<int>, float>);

Try it on Compiler Explorer

A: I just wanted to add a solution that I found just now which is possibly a bit more versatile.
Instead of comparing the first template parameter one might as well extract the nth template parameter and use the idiomatic std::is_same<U,T> to compare it. This way the user has the freedom to choose which template parameter is actually compared:
Demo
#include <type_traits>
#include <concepts>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <tuple>
#include <cstdio>

template<std::size_t, typename>
struct nth_targ_of;

template<std::size_t N, template <typename...> class Template, typename... Args>
struct nth_targ_of<N, Template<Args...>> : std::tuple_element<N, std::tuple<Args...>> {};

template<std::size_t N, typename T>
using nth_targ_of_t = nth_targ_of<N, T>::type;

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> vint;
    std::vector<std::string> vstring;
    if constexpr(std::same_as<nth_targ_of_t<0, decltype(vint)>, int>) {
        printf("Vector instantiated with type int!\n");
    }
    if constexpr(std::same_as<nth_targ_of_t<0, decltype(vstring)>, std::string>) {
        printf("Vector instantiated with type string!\n");
    }
}

Output:
Vector instantiated with type int!
Vector instantiated with type string!

A truly memorable experience
From the moment we were picked up by our guide Jose, we had a truly fabulous experience. Jose is very proud of Lisbon and surrounds. His English was very good as was his knowledge. He was determined to make our experience a memorable one. A Sintra is a wonderful place. This is one of our holiday highlights. Highly recommended.
