'A Small Miracle'
A year ago, 138 Muslim leaders from 40 nations addressed a plea for interfaith dialogue to the leaders of the world's Christian churches in a bid to diminish the influence of extremism around the world. That initiative, "A Common Word Between Us and You," led to a conference between Muslim and U.S. Protestant leaders at Yale University last summer and another last week with Church of England leaders at Cambridge University, to be followed next month by a meeting with Roman Catholic leaders at the Vatican. Ali Gomaa, who as the grand mufti (chief Islamic jurist) in Cairo is the senior Sunni Muslim figure in Egypt, was one of the Common Word signatories. He presided over the Cambridge conference with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. newsweek's Stryker McGuire interviewed Gomaa at a local hotel. At one point, their chat was interrupted by a carpenter's power saw. "That noise," joked Gomaa, "is from the sphere of terrorism." Excerpts:
Newsweek: What signs of progress have you seen since the Common Word initiative was launched?
Gomaa: Meetings such as this one at Cambridge, working with Muslims and Christians because they represent much of the world's population, are a sign of progress. Our willingness to listen to each other is the first sign of the melting away of the iceberg between the two sides. It's really something of a small miracle. We need to go step by step. The massiveness of the current economic crisis is something else that we must come together to solve. A crisis in the United States affects the street trader in Cairo. We no longer have the option to live in isolation. We Muslims and Christians must be successful so that we can be an example to the rest of the world. We hope that Common Word becomes a massive international peace movement.
One of your goals has been to reduce extremism, including terrorism, in the Islamic world. Are the radicals listening?
We have two objectives here. The first is to reach young people. That is where the problems begin and where we must begin. I equate terrorism with cancer. If we leave it alone, it will affect the entire body. The second involves the actual terrorists themselves, and our effort is to dampen their negative effect. In that regard we have been successful, but it's a partial success. We want to create boundaries for terrorism and restrict its activity. We've had a specific experiment in Egypt with the people who killed [President] Anwar Sadat [in 1981]. In Egypt there were about 16,000 members of the group [Islamic Jihad] that was responsible for Sadat's assassination. We were able to discuss issues with them and convince them of their errors, and 14,000 of them ended up denouncing the principles of the terrorism they had espoused.
You are an eminent legal scholar, and as a religious judge, you issue fatwas , or religious rulings, in all kinds of disputes. You ' ve said in the past that ill-trained or manipulative Islamic pseudoscholars have misused fatwas for their own ends. How so?
It is from these people that you get fatwas that endorse terrorism. That leaves the cancer to spread throughout the body. If Islam is not approached from a proper, scholarly point of view, we will see many problems. These ignorant "scholars" have been able to use mass communications, and now they have satellite TV channels and they're speaking night and day, constantly. This is very, very dangerous. We deem these ignorant people to be criminals. So why are they continuing to do this? They are doing it because the satellite channels give them the money and the resources to do it. It's a moneymaking proposition. All of us need to come together and to try to stand against this phenomenon. We believe in freedom of expression, but what I'm talking about here is a form of deception. It's not a right to hurt others and create havoc on earth.
The war in Iraq is a source of grievance among Muslims. If the war begins to wind down, will that help you deal with the extremists who use the war as an excuse to commit terrorist acts?
Without a doubt. Military occupation is not something that's appropriate in our day and age. It can cause things to spin out of control. Sometimes there's a very fine line between terrorist activities and a legal armed struggle as outlined in the Geneva Conventions. When there's an occupation, there's a lack of balance, and then the concept of what's right and what's wrong is sometimes not understood by those committing violence or acquiescing in it.
Do you ever feel you ' re in personal danger because of what you do?
[Laughs] I don't feel that. The amount of love that I have in my heart for people allows me to feel there is no danger.

Joe Hart Net Worth - How Much Is The England Goalkeeper Worth?
How much is Joe Hart worth? Find out Hart's estimated wealth, career earnings and life off the football pitch...
Premier League, Football
Former England and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is currently playing for Celtic
Hart has a net worth just over £20 million according to various sources
Read below for more on the shot stopper's career to date
Joe Hart made the journey from the depths of the Football League to the top of English football.
Becoming number one for the Three Lions and starring as Manchester City won Premier League titles, Hart was a goalkeeper who could swing football odds in his pomp with highlight reel saves.
Where 'keepers can often extend their careers, Hart's peak was short-lived.
He's still plying his trade at one of the biggest clubs in the UK, though, so let's learn a bit more about the two-time Premier League winner.
Joe Hart's salary has been in the news a lot over the years. Departing the home of Premier League betting to join Celtic meant another wage cut for the former England international.
While largely a non-factor in Premier League predictions during his stint at Tottenham, Hart was reported to be on £27,000 per week.
News around the time of Hart's 2021 summer transfer to Celtic claimed this salary had been almost cut in half to £15,000.
Sure, not many people are going to be thrilled about a pay cut of that size, but that still leaves Hart earning almost £800,000 per year.
It's a lot less than he's used to, though, having reportedly been paid over £7 million per annum at Manchester City. Such an enormous salary meant City had to supplement his wages to force through the transfer to West Ham.
The decline in Hart's salaries represents his demise from top of the pile of England goalkeepers to a backup at Tottenham.
Providing the £15,000 figure is correct, there are 37 Premier League goalkeepers earning more than the Shrewsbury-born stopper in 2021-22.
Newcastle's Mark Gillespie, Aston Villa's Jed Steer and West Brom's David Button are three of a small group of Premier League 'keepers earning less than Hart this season.
Joe Hart has a net worth of roughly £21 million according to celebritynetworth.com.
Playing for Manchester City tends to be a monumental boost to any player's wealth, and Hart has been reported to have large wages at several of his stops since then.
There was a period when he looked set to become one of the greatest Premier League goalkeepers. England's number one and playing a key role in Manchester City's success, Hart was incredibly marketable.
The Head & Shoulders partnership was, of course, the most famous of his endorsements.
This deal, signed in 2012, is one of the stranger footballer sponsorship deals, but reports at the time claimed Hart pocketed plenty of cash for the anti-dandruff shampoo adverts.
Further marketing opportunities followed for Hart, enabling his net worth to soar during his peak years for Manchester City and England.
Joe Hart's wife is Kimberly Crew. The couple got married in Florence back in 2015 and they have a son together.
They have now been together for over a decade, having dated for six years before getting married.
While other couples in their position relish the spotlight, Crew has opted to remain private, and little is known about her life.
Joe Hart's tattoo choices have divided opinion. Initially starting with a band round is forearm and a small black banner around his wrist, Hart has since added 'armour' further up his arm and over his shoulder.
The tattoo form is referred to as 'blackwork' which Hart also has on his leg.
The artist of these tattoos is Hanumatra Lemar, and he explains what these tattoos represent on his website.
"Blackwork is a tattoo choice, it's a lifestyle and it's a philosophy, believing that less really is more and understanding that we should not be afraid to stand out in world full of people trying to fit in.
"Every tattoo Hanumantra undertakes is exclusively created for the client. The time is taken to handcraft each individual design, conveying and amplifying the inner strength of spirit of the wearer.
"This allows them to feel empowered and protected as though a layer of tattoo armour is placed upon them, creating a modern day warrior ready for today's battles."
When revealing the tattoos on his Instagram account, Hart described them as something that 'represents me'.
He posted, "I got my armour on now... let's see what's next. Not everyone's taste I understand that but this definitely represents me and thank you for making it happen."
Former Clubs
Joe Hart has represented 10 clubs so far. Starting out at his hometown team Shrewsbury, Hart made the big move to Manchester City in 2006, though a few loans followed before he broke through.
Over a decade on the books of the Sky Blues came to an end in 2018 with a £3.5 million transfer to Burnley.
Hart made a few appearances due to injuries, but he never became first choice. A season at Tottenham followed as a depth option behind World Cup winning goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
In the summer of 2021, Nuno Espirito Santo decided Hart was surplus to requirements, and brutally told the former West Ham man that he wasn't going to play for the club.
In an interview with Micah Richards, Hart explained the conversation with Nuno that led to his Tottenham departure.
He said, "And then, two or three weeks into pre-season, I was told: 'No matter what happens, you will not kick a ball for Tottenham.'
"That's what Nuno (Espirito Santo) wanted. I never really had a conversation with him and the one conversation that we did have was that one."
Shrewsbury Town (2003-2006) – 58 appearances
Manchester City (2006-2018) – 348 appearances
Tranmere Rovers (loan - 2007) – six appearances
Blackpool (loan - 2007) – five appearances

CONUNDRUM: When Prominent Black Democrat Is ENDORSED by Klansman
A horse walks into a bar. The bartenders says, "Why the long face?"
Democrats have a cause to celebrate, yet they are remarkably silent about this latest development: an endorsement of one of their black racists by one of their white racists Klansman.
Don't expect any celebrations bringing the nation together to sing "kumbaya," over David Duke's endorsement of Minnesota Congressman, Democrat Keith Ellison
One would think an endorsement by former member of the Democrat KKK for a certified Democrat ethno-centric black racist demands a "Black-Panther-Klan-A-Palooza," however Democrats scream silence.
Nevertheless, the Washington Times reports,
David Duke wants the world to know that he supports Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison's attempt to become the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
The former leader of the Ku Klux Klan likely complicated Mr. Ellison's professional goals Monday by backing his efforts while alluding to claims by critics that he is anti-Semitic.
"Keith Ellison, Sally Boynton Brown or Jehmu Greene would all be excellent choices — I really like Keith though… I mean, at least he knows," Mr. Duketweeted.
David Duke & Keith Ellison: Brothers from other mothers
Based on David Duke's comment "at least he knows" remark appears to be a reference to Mr. Ellison's past with the Nation of Islam and comments about Louis Farrakhan.
Most people know that Ellison hates Jews, and he hates white people too. As the article suggested, charges of bigotry, which the congressman denies, have dogged him since he started running for the coveted DNC job.
"If you go back to his positions, his papers, his speeches, the way he has voted, he is clearly an anti-Semite and anti-Israel individual," Democratic donor Haim Saban said Dec. 2 while at the Brookings Institution's annual Saban Forum in the nation's capital, CNN reported. "Words matter and actions matter more. Keith Ellison would be a disaster for the relationship between the Jewish community and the Democratic Party."
Democrats love their bigots.
Thus, Mr. Ellison has been endorsed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the AFL-CIO.
Further, the interesting thing about Democrats is they will readily abandon reason and even the very small core principles they possess to keep with the narrative.

Travel advice: airport pick-up charges
A passenger jet had to be diverted to Stansted airport after an alleged bomb hoax
Nick Trend
6 July 2012 • 12:00am
As we all know, when we use an airport, we have to pay for the privilege – in fees and charges added to our flight ticket. Although we are paying customers, we are also at the mercy of air traffic control, the ground handlers, immigration staff, baggage handlers – so much so that it is impossible to predict how long it will take us to get from the aircraft gate to the airport exit doors. So is it right that airports should charge people who drive to pick us up and take us home?
Sue Blacker, a reader from Redditch, doesn't think so. She wrote to me because she was getting frustrated by the policy at Birmingham. She lives 30 minutes from the airport and says that the cost of being picked up by car has recently risen sharply.
"They have, over the past 12 months, increased their already hefty 'drop and go charges': it now costs £1 for 10 minutes, £2 for up to 20 minutes, £7 for 30 minutes and £5 for each 15 minutes after that," she says. "Recently we flew to France, and on the return journey I texted my brother to say we'd be on time but to add on a bit to allow for passport control. In fact, the plane taxied to the far end of the airport and we were bussed in. The queue for passport control then took 20 minutes (it was quiet). My brother arrived expecting us to be waiting, and the car park cost £12."
Sue went on to wonder if airports might be manipulating the time it takes to get through arrivals to increase their car parking revenue. I don't think so, but I do think it is unacceptable that access to airports should be charged for. As Sue also pointed out, it is very difficult, if you are driving a considerable distance, to time your arrival. Many drivers end up hanging around, trying to reduce car parking charges.
I had just this experience a few weeks ago, picking up a relative arriving at Stansted at about 11pm. As we live in north Norfolk, it would have been impossible for her to get to us by public transport – so there was no alternative to using the car. It is a two-hour drive to the airport, but I had checked that the plane had taken off before I left home. I arrived at the short-stay car park just before the plane landed, only to find that I would have to pay £2.80 to park for the first 25 minutes – rising to £5.30 for 50 minutes, and £9.90 for a stay of up to two hours. I thought it was quite likely that I would be facing a bill of £9.90.
Some belligerent instinct in me resisted being fleeced in this way, so I looked for somewhere else to wait. At the far end of the airport I found a wide area of tarmac nearby, and only a short walk from the terminal. I pulled up here until, before long, a patrol car ordered me to move, threatening to call security if I didn't. This only increased my resolve to make my pick-up without paying.
In a nearby country lane several well-worn, muddy gateways and pull-ins were chocka with minicabs obviously playing the same game. This was not a very attractive prospect, and frankly, it looked like a dangerous place to stop.
I ended up in the car park of a fast-food restaurant near the mid-stay car park and finally managed to make my pick-up in the area where the patrol car had originally moved me on.
I asked a spokesman for Birmingham airport about the charges. He said it was forced to close the original drop-off points for security reasons, following the car bomb attack on Glasgow Airport in 2007. He said that the airport needed to start charging for the short-term car park to cover the costs of running it and to stop congestion at the pick-up point. He added that drivers could use the multi-storey car parks, two minutes' walk from the terminal, for £3.50 an hour.
A spokesman for Stansted said since it banned the use of the ramp for picking up passengers – also for security reasons – all drivers have had to pay to wait and pick-up in the short-term car park. "Half of our passengers use public transport," said a spokesman.
What about the other half, I say?
Below are the charges at Britain's biggest airports. All except Birmingham offer some kind of free drop-off point within easy walking distance of the terminals, so the charges below relate to picking up passengers by private car:
Birmingham £1 (10 min); £2 (20 min); £7 (30 mins) and £5 for each 15 minutes after that. Multi-storey car park £3.50 per hour.
Edinburgh £2.20 (15 min); £3.60 (30 min); £4.60 (one hour).
Gatwick North Terminal "Rapid Pick-Up" area on the ground floor of Car Park 6, where you can park for up to 15 minutes at no charge.
Gatwick South Terminal Standard short-stay charges apply: £1.50 (15 min); £2.90 (30 min); £5.80 (one hour).
Glasgow Short-term car parks cost from £1 (up to 20 min) and £4 (one hour).
Heathrow (all terminals) Drivers must use the short-stay car parks: £2.80 (30 min); £4.70 (one hour).
Luton For 30 minutes' free pick up and drop off you must use the mid-term car park (two minutes to the airport on a free bus transfer). The short-term car park by the terminal costs £1 (15 min), £4.80 (30 min). "Priority Set Down" area in front of the short-term car park, which is also available for picking up, costs £1 (10 min), but £80 if you overstay, and cars must not be left unattended.
Manchester (all terminals) £2.50 (30 min); one hour (£4.50); two hours (£8).
Stansted £2.80 (25 min); £5.30 (50 min); £9.90 (up to two hours).
Drink-driving abroad
Another reader emailed me about my article on drink-driving two weeks ago. Will driving bans and penalty points imposed in another country be applied on your British licence, he asked.
According to the DVLA, the UK has a reciprocal agreement with Ireland and the Isle of Man. If the offence takes place anywhere else it will not affect your UK licence – although it remains in force in the country where the offence took place, along with any punishments.

Boo! Poo, ban Onan in the loo
Bizarre FoI requests waste university resources, say fatigued staff. David Matthews writes
Twitter: @DavidMJourno
Cease and desist: a fake notice resulted in an FoI query for St Andrews
The Freedom of Information Act strove to advance democracy by committing public institutions to exacting standards of transparency and openness. You can also use it to ask universities about duck poo, hauntings and bans on masturbation in the library toilets.
Those burning issues are among the bizarre FoI requests that universities had to process last year, with institutions warning that issuing responses is a drain on resources.
Highlights from last year include the member of the public concerned by a "Masturbation Notice" that appeared at the University of St Andrews stating that self-gratification was banned in the library toilets.
He dispatched an FoI request to St Andrews to check the sign's veracity, asking for "all internal correspondence regarding the decision to create the notices".
Niall Scott, director of corporate communications at St Andrews, wrote back to say that "a strong clue that the notice is fake is the line 'Please go home and masturbate if you are bored.' As a matter of policy, the university would never encourage students to go home during term-time."
The St Andrews request came from prolific FoI Act user Steve Elibank, who also asked the University of Oxford for the "branding and/or style guidelines" for the Oxford Reading Tree series of children's books featuring the Biff and Chip characters, published by Oxford University Press.
The request was refused because the guidelines could be used to create "pirate copies" that would "reduce sales of legitimate copies of books in the Biff and Chip series".
The universities of York and Brighton were both asked how many complaints they had received about haunted buildings, ghosts or "other paranormal phenomena" on their premises, what action they took and how much it cost.
York, famous for its on-campus wildfowl, was also asked to state how much money was "dedicated to the clean-up of duck excrement on a year-by-year basis for 2008, 2009, 2010", plus its forecasts for spending on clean-up operations in 2011.
A student journalist requested that Oxford provide an estimate of how much its administration spent per year on biscuits for meetings.
One press officer at a Russell Group university said: "Of course it is a perfectly valid argument that this diversion of teaching and research resources is worth it for the transparency the Act attempts to provide. But it's worth mentioning how much time it takes up."
She added that the university was "churning out" Excel spreadsheets every day to answer FoI requests and that this had to be done by "people whose job is to do something else (eg, admit students)".
"Emails and documents provided daily under FoI have to be carefully searched for by the relevant departments and academics," she said.

Arctic Science Summit Week 2023
Add to calendar Add to Google calendar
The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) is organized annually by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) to provide opportunities for coordination, cooperation and collaboration between the various scientific organizations involved in Arctic research. It was initiated by the IASC in 1999 and has evolved into the most important annual gathering of the Arctic research organization.
The program of the ASSW 2023 from 17 - 24 February 2023 includes
ASSW 2023 Business and Community Meetings (17 - 24 February 2023) includes annual meetings, workshops and other events of several Arctic organisations and projects. The entire Arctic community is encouraged to use ASSW as a venue for bringing together their organisations, collaborations, and teams. The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) was initiated by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) in 1999 to provide opportunities for coordination, cooperation and collaboration between the various scientific organisations involved in Arctic research and to economise on travel and time. ASSW is now an annual venue for meetings of Arctic organisations, scientific collaborations, and more. ASSW organizsers provide the logistical support and your meeting attendees only have to register for ASSW2023 and show up. As ASSW 2023 will be organised as a hybrid conference, both opportunities for in-person and online meetings will be offered during the conference.
ASSW 2023 Science Symposium: The Arctic in the Anthropocene (21 - 24 February 2023) Never before has the Arctic experienced such a high pressure by human impact either by local environmental disturbances or by global climate change leading to long-term changes and massive challenges to the resistance and resilience of polar ecological systems and Arctic societies. "The Arctic in the Anthropocene" is a quite appropriate theme to focus on the increasing pressure of high latitudes. Several sessions offer space to shed light on short- and long-term changes, respectively, on human, terrestrial, aquatic or aerial systems. Despite the focus on the Arctic, contribution on the Antarctic, aiming at fostering networking and advances on research on both poles, are accepted and appreciated.

by Ben Rossi 25 February 2006
iPSL
Every day, Intelligence Processing Systems Limited (iPSL) is responsible for clearing around 75% of the cheques issued in the UK, processing over 13 million items worth over £5 billion. iPSL was formed in December 2000 as a joint venture between Unisys, Barclays Bank PLC, Lloyds TSB and HSBC.
iPSL enables its financial services clients to concentrate more on their key strategic business objectives and on services to their end users. As well as cheque clearance, iPSL also provides other outsourced services to the financial services market, including remittance and lockbox services, research and adjustment and imaging services. That, says Mike Pacitto, head of technology and service development at iPSL, involves managing huge amounts of data that must be retained for extended periods of time. "Much of the information we hold must be kept on a client's behalf for up to 10 years. We've calculated that could involve as much as 900 terabytes of data," he says.
That means that iPSL has to be smart about the storage systems that it deploys for different categories of data, according to Pacitto: "It goes without saying that we can't possibly store it all on disk – that would be too expensive."
"The challenge for us is to store the data on the most appropriate and cost-effective media. The selection criteria for the media is governed by the importance of the data, its criticality to the business function that it supports and the service levels required for access and retrieval," he says.
iPSL holds both the data printed on cheques and JPEG images of cheques. "Freshly created data is stored on very resilient and highly available disk. As the data ages, this is either migrated to disk tiers which have a lower read/write ability and are less expensive, or to tape, where it is more cost-effective to hold and retrieve the data – the service levels for accessing this data are lower, so disk is not required," says Pacitto.
Tape is used extensively to meet the majority of iPSL's storage needs. Image data, for example, is archived to 9940 tape cartridges. "We use 9940 for archiving our image data due to its superior capacity and duty cycles compared to other cartridge offerings," explains Pacitto.
"By storing data in this tiered fashion we are able to provide a variety of services to our clients knowing that we can hold or move the data to the most appropriate tier depending on the service required," he says.
Back-up, meanwhile, also exploits tape technology. "In this case, we chose LTO [linear tape open] technology for our back-ups, again for its capacity, and, as the need to retrieve this data will be small, the duty cycle is not that important. LTO drives and media are much cheaper than 9940 and that is the reason we adopt two different types of media," Pacitto explains.
All this data is stored in an SL8500 automated tape library from StorageTek. iPSL can be confident that this system will meet its demands for some time to come: the system scales from 1,448 to 300,000 slots and up to 2,048 tape drives in order to accommodate years of data volume growth.
iPSL purchased this system to replace existing StorageTek L700 libraries, explains Pacitto. "The projected number of L700 tape libraries we would have needed for our archiving, retrieval and back-up requirements was 10 in each of our main data centres in Northampton and Bootle. Using the SL8500, we are able to install just one library at each site and scale up the number of slots and drives as necessary," he says.
Not only has implementing a single, scaleable tape system enabled iPSL to reduce its expected capital outlay by around £1 million, but it has also minimised maintenance and support costs. "In addition, it will reduce our floorspace and environmental requirements with much more flexibility to scale up and out where required with minimal upheaval," says Pacitto.
South Yorkshire Police
In the mind of Roy France, IT manager for South Yorkshire Police, there is no doubt that ILM is an imperative rather than a marketing term for his organisation at least. "Everything the force does is concentrated on the fast, continual retrieval of information," says France, "and we need to be certain that information is always available, year after year."
The South Yorkshire force polices the main conurbations of Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham – an area that contains some 1.3 million citizens. In recent years, that work has relied increasingly on electronic information, held in a wide variety of systems.
Recorded crime, for example, is captured, analysed, disseminated and shared electronically; compliance legislation demands that information be stored for longer periods; and soon, electronic imaging for documents, voice recordings and vehicle number plate recognition will become the standard.
"We are continually tasked to deliver best value information technology," says France. "It therefore makes sense to move older information to different online storage media that still provides the right levels of protection, replication and recovery at the lowest possible cost," he says.
A cornerstone of South Yorkshire Police's ILM strategy is a dual site disaster recovery programme.
The force has deployed two EMC Symmetrix 8430 systems, connected by Fibre Channel switches to a heterogeneous server environment. Back-up is provided by EMC Legato NetWorker.
The environment runs critical applications from crime management and operational intelligence applications to packaged software from Oracle for financial accounting and human resources, and replicates the data between systems at separate sites in Sheffield.
In addition, network attached storage (NAS) devices from EMC are used to back up the end user's work – a boon to the IT department, which itself uses NAS storage for its Oracle 9i Linux development project. "Our back-ups are now two hours quicker than before,"says France.
To complete the ILM approach, South Yorkshire Police is deploying an EMC Centera content addressed storage (CAS) system in order to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, among other mandates.
The force will use the Centera system for holding the growing volume of records that need to be 'frozen' and stored for reference purposes. It will also store emails that will be automatically collected, organised, retained and retrieved via the EMC EmailXtender software.
"By reducing unscheduled system downtime, streamlining the cost of storage management and maintenance, reducing server investment and accelerating application testing and development, South Yorkshire Police is on track to save £1.1 million between 2001 and 2006," reports France.
Clinphone
In 1993, doctors Neil Rotherham and Jonathan Engler set up ClinPhone, a company that manages, hosts and delivers clinical trial data used in the development and testing of pharmaceutical products – from patient details and test results to drug shipment tracking applications — to its clients, which include some of the world's best-known pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
To date, ClinPhone has supported around 1,242 clinical trials conducted in over 80 countries and 71 languages, creating a need for robust and manageable storage that will meet regulations imposed by the healthcare industry, says Daljit Cheema, chief technology officer at ClinPhone.
"At any one time, we have 350 projects underway for our clients and that data must be kept throughout the course of a clinical trial — generally anywhere between six months and a few years. That data is referenced 24×7 by our clients and must be stored on high-availability disk," he explains.
"Once a trial has finished, we are obliged to keep data for up to 15 years," he says. Most frequently that is stored on optical disk, either on a jukebox or in a secure offsite facility provided by storage management specialists Iron Mountain.
Until recently, however, Cheema managed a heterogenous IT environment that included numerous servers, each with their own direct-attached storage and their own back-up system. "We needed to consolidate systems and consolidate tasks," says Cheema.
That has prompted an overhaul of Clinphone's scattered storage environment to a more virtualised one, using IBM technology. Primary disk is provided by IBM TotalStorage machines and backed up to tape. Real-time replication is carried out via a private fibre connection to a second, remote site. The whole system, meanwhile, is managed from IBM's TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller, which treats the storage environment as a logical whole and automates data replication and back-up processes. "This set-up will provide us with the flexibility and control that we will need for many years to come," says Cheema.

Episode 49: Daredevil Season 3 Review 0
Well this week was supposed to be Freddy vs Jason but that episode might be moved to Halloween or the first November episode due to some scheduling conflicts and personal news (that I can't talk about yet.) So instead of missing a week I decided to get some reviews up on some shows that I just finished watching this weekend. First off is two Marvel Netflix season in Daredevil Season 3 and Jessica Jones Season 2. I also throw in Supergirl Season 1 as I just finished that on my way to marathon all of the DC TV shows to get to the Batwoman cross over.
Episode 48: Venom 0
Before we had Marvel studios and the MCU there are often three movies credited with reviving the superhero movie genre. Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man. Well did you know that there was almost a Venom movie in there and could have even released before Spider-Man? It took us until 2018 to finally get a Venom movie which has been very successful despite it's bad reviews, but what would a 1998 Venom movie have been like? I didn't plan on doing two Marvel movies in a row but sometimes that's just how it works.

Little Evil is a Netflix film that quickly caught my attention because of the cast. It features a lot of actors that I think are very funny or am a big fan of. I decided to throw it on for Shocktober and see if the movie lived up to the caliber.

Episode 47: Interview with Elle LaMont 0
Today's episode is an interview with Elle LaMont. Elle is a actress and producer based out of Austin Texas. While Elle has credits spanning many films and shorts (Including Machete Kills and From Dusk Till Dawn The Series) she will be appearing in Alita: Battle Angel set to release on February 14th, 2019. Elle discusses how she got into the business and managed to cross over from acting into producing and how she hopes to empower other female creatives. We also talked about the difference between working in film between Texas and LA.
Shocktober 2018: Episode 6 - The VVitch 0
This is a movie that I have been dying to see since it's first trailer. It had always eluded me until it recently popped up on Netflix. I know a lot of people were put off by the accurate 1600's way of speaking, but does this movie live up to the hype?

Shocktober 2018: Episode 5 - Death Note 0
I am a fairly casual manga fan and while I was always interested in Death Note, I never actually got around to reading it. Since the movie dropped on Netflix I always saw it as maybe a gateway into the source material. Well after the movie I started reading the books, but what does that say about the film?

I swear I didn't watch this many Stephen King movies on purpose! This was actually the first film I watched of the season and it just got pushed down the line of reviews. Based on what is known as King's magnum opus, does the movie live up to the book series?
"The last Gunslinger: Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black, and determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower that holds the universe together.

Shocktober 2018: Episode 3 - The Voices 0
I will pretty much watch any movie starring Ryan Reynolds, so when I saw that he was doing a horror comedy I knew I wanted to check it out. Alas it was given a limited release and never crossed my path until it recently popped up on Netflix. It was finally my chance to give The Voices a shot!

Episode 46: Iron Man 0
Before there was a Marvel Cinematic Universe that launched with 2008's Iron Man, there was almost a different Iron Man there was almost a different Iron Man. It's hard to imagine a version of Iron Man without Robert Downey Jr. but it's a reality we almost could have had. This version of the story differs quite a lot from the version we know today, but would it have made a good movie? Would we have gotten an Avengers movie with a Toby Maguire Spider-Man? Probably not but it's still fun to imagine.

Nolde is a new titling typeface named after a German Danish painter and printmaker Emil Nolde, one of the first artists to work in the Expressionist style. Not unlike the work of Nolde the artist, the seemingly rhythmical characters of Nolde the typeface conceal expressive tension of form and nervous line quality. While its letterforms hearken to the early-20th c. foundry types, this font makes a fresh and decidedly current impression, making it suitable for cutting-edge display use. Nolde capitals are available in two weights: regular and outline, and support over 60 languages that employ Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Designed by Vyacheslav Kirilenko & Gayaneh Bagdasaryan, 2015.
The Nolde typeface is available to download immediately after a purchasing.

Good evening, this is Michael Anthony, and you're listening to British History 101. I'd like to start this evening off with a comment I received from a listener, who wrote in and said, "Starting to miss your podcasts, as they have entertained me on a regular basis, since I encountered them. Hope all is well with you, and you've some casts lined up for us." Thanks for that, and I assure you I do have some interesting episodes planned for British History 101. I feel absolutely terrible whenever I'm unable to get an episode out during the week, because I know there are a lot of people out there who are gracious enough to take time out of their day and learn with me; for them, I am committed to doing my best to provide interesting and thought-provoking discussions. Let's hope tonight is just that. This week's episode is going to present history with a bit of a modern twist.
On 21 April 1926, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. The Archbishop of York, Cosmo Lang, baptized the baby girl in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace, christening her with the first name of her mother and the names of her great-grandmother Alexandra and grandmother Mary as her middle names. The young girl's father was King George VI, and she would become the fair lady that reigns over the British Commonwealth now – Queen Elizabeth II.
When last week's feature, Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936, her father became king, and Elizabeth became Heiress Presumptive to the crown and took the title Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth. Three years later, World War II broke out, and Great Britain's Heiress Presumptive was evacuated to Windsor Castle. Some wanted Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret to be sent to Canada for obvious safety reasons. Their mother put it quite simply: "The children could not go without me, I will never leave the King, and the King will never leave his country." That settled that matter, and the girls remained in Britain for the rest of the war. In 1945, Elizabeth went even further than just remaining in the country by joining the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service. Her title here was not Princess but rather Number 230873 Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor. She is the only female member of the royal family to serve active duty in the armed services
Two years after the war, in the fall of 1947, Princess Elizabeth married her second cousin once removed and third cousin Philip, Prince of Greece and Denmark. They are both in the lines of Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Victoria of England. Philip renounced his place in the line of accession to the Greek throne and was titled the Duke of Edinburgh. Six days shy of a year after her marriage to Philip, Elizabeth gave birth to Charles, her first child and the Prince of Edinburgh.
Her father George's health began to decline through 1951, and Elizabeth found herself acting in his stead in many affairs. She was on a tour including Greece, Italy, Malta, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Kenya in February of 1952 when King George VI died of lung cancer. This made Elizabeth the first British monarch since 1801 to be out of the country at the time of accession. The next day, February 7, Elizabeth was proclaimed Queen, the speech being read as follows:
WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to call to his mercy our late Sovereign Lord King George VI, of blessed and glorious memory, by whose Decease the Crown is solely and rightfully come to the High and Mighty Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary:
WE, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm, being here assisted with these His late Majesty's Privy Council, with representatives of other Members of the Commonwealth, with other Principal Gentlemen of Quality, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London, do now hereby with one Voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart publish and proclaim, that the High and Mighty Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary is now, by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory, become Queen Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen of this Realm, and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, to whom Her Lieges do acknowledge all Faith and constant Obedience with hearty and humble Affection, beseeching God by whom Kings and Queens do reign, to bless the Royal Princess, Elizabeth II, with long and happy Years to reign over us. God Save the Queen.
With this proclamation, Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon. Currently, she reigns over Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She holds the titles of Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Lord of Mann, Duke of Lancaster and Normandy, and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Although in reality Elizabeth exercises little of this power, she is technically the most powerful head of state in the world.
Elizabeth's reign has been longer than all four monarchs to come immediately before her. If she is still in power on 21 December 2007, she will be the oldest reigning monarch in British history; if her reign continues to 9 September 2015, she will be the longest reigning monarch in British history. With her land holdings and private possessions, she is believed to be worth about $500 million.
If you ask the average person what exactly the Queen does, they'd probably tell you "not much." The Queen is given a large role in the government and affairs of her Realms, but traditionally most of these powers are delegated to ministers of the government. Constitutionally, the Queen gives Royal Assent to Parliamentary bills; although she reserves the right to deny this Assent, no monarch has done so since 1708. This power is practiced by Governors-General, the men and women placed in charge by the Queen over her Realms outside Britain. These Governors and the Queen herself open their respective Parliaments each year with an outline of the legislative goals for that period. The Queen appoints ministers of the United Kingdom and, legally, all government is carried out in her name. She is the United Kingdom's Head of State, and as such she can declare war, recognize foreign states, and make treaties. The Queen meets with the Prime Minister of Great Britain on a weekly basis, and is also constantly updated on the happenings of Wales, Scotland, and Canada. Despite the fact that the Queen is not often seen exercising influence over politics, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said, "Anyone who imagines that they are a mere formality or confined to social niceties is quite wrong; they are quietly businesslike and Her Majesty brings to bear a formidable grasp of current issues and breadth of experience." Obviously, Elizabeth has always been and will remain a force to be reckoned with.
In the United Kingdom, Elizabeth is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, delegating authoritative powers to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishops and bishops are both appointed by the Queen, and they sit in the House of Lords as Lords Spiritual. It is a peculiarity to note that, in the Church of Scotland, the Queen is an ordinary member of the congregation.
I was looking at British History 101's reviews on iTunes a few days ago, and I noticed something quite interesting. On reviewer commented that I spend too much time talking about things other than history. First of all, I'd like to point out that I certainly welcome constructive criticism! After all, we'd never learn any real life lessons without it every once in a while. Second, I have to make it known that it's for a very specific purpose that I spend time talking about things other than history itself. Even though podcasting has been around for a while now, I still feel that we're on the very bleeding edge of interpersonal communication and media propagation. To a history and tech geek like me, that's a terribly fascinating subject and it brings me great joy to discuss it with fellow enthusiasts. I take some time here and there to highlight the ever-increasing expansion of podcasts because I think it's great for listeners to feel like they're part of a greater community – because that is exactly what we are finding ourselves in nowadays – an international community of people gathering together though thousands of miles apart to share their interest in an inexplicably wide range of topics. I wish I would have been able to attend the Portable Media Expo recently in Ontario, California, because the stories I'm hearing about it are so very exciting – for those few days, an enormous global community came together to share their insights and experiences in this exploding phenomenon. Whether you're 18 or 80, podcast listeners and enthusiasts are all playing a part in a movement that I daresay will change the world. I love devoting some time to discussing the podcast revolution because I feel very certain that we are part of events that future generations will truly see as life-changing.
That's it for this episode. Hopefully, the blog at britishhistory101.com will be up and running soon – I've been informed by my hosting service that the blog isn't being updated due to compatibility issues between the service and Blogger's new beta feature. I trust they will tend to this quickly! Send suggestions, questions, comments, rants, and raves to BritishHistory101@gmail.com. Our music tonight is "Fairest Isle All Isles Excell," performed by Jeni Malia and available on Magnatune.com. Magnatune is an independent online record label that equally shares all revenue from album sales with their hand-selected artists while allowing them to retain full rights to their works.

Have a fantastic evening.

Hi from Scotland,
Her Majesty's firstborn's official title is actually Prince of Wales, not Prince of Edinburgh, although apparently he is Prince of Edinburgh as well.
Love the podcast. Keep it up, you're doing well..

You said: "This made Elizabeth the first British monarch since 1801 to be out of the country at the time of accession. "
I can't think which monarch you're referring to as the precedent. George III reigned 1760 to 1820. When was the future George IV made Prince Regent? Was he out of the kingdom at the time? Could it be a typo for 1901, which is when Edward VII succeeded? I have no idea where he was at the time and of course there weren't that many monarchs between Edward VII and Elizabeth II.

Horst P Horst modernised fashion photography, as an innovator of taste and a twentieth century master of light it was Coco Chanel who insisted that only Horst be allowed to take her photograph.

Following a slight cool-down period in July, the nation's factory activity is running hot. The Institute for Supply Management's domestic production index, the PMI, grew by 3.2 percentage points to reach 61.3 in August. Any number above 50 indicates expansion.
Moreover, the ISM's leading sub-indexes, new orders and production, surged. New orders registered 65.1 percent, an increase of 4.9 percentage points from the July reading of 60.2 percent. The production index registered 63.3 percent, a 4.8-percentage point increase compared with the July reading of 58.5 percent.
Difficulties include a severe shortage of electronic components. Electronics distributors and component suppliers report they have so far been able to meet customers' demand. The ISM's production index indicates products are still getting built. However, two leading investment firms warn that shortages will worsen as the year wanes on. Manufacturing tends to ramp up in autumn in anticipation of the holiday season.
"Production and output is at an all time high -- lots of things are being built and products are getting out there," said Andy King, president of Arrow Electronics Inc.'s Global Components business, in a recent interview. "Is every [supplier] ramping up to levels we aspire to--no. That's why [Arrow] is making sure we can get the right amount of inventory as much as we can." Arrow's achieving that for most components, he added.
The ISM's employment index registered 58.5 percent in August, an increase of 2 percentage points from the July reading of 56.5 percent. Supplier deliveries registered 64.5 percent, a 2.4-percentage point increase from the July reading of 62.1 percent. Inventories registered 55.4 percent, an increase of 2.1 percentage points from the July reading of 53.3 percent, and the prices index registered 72.1 percent in August, a 1.1-percentage point decrease from the July reading of 73.2 percent. That indicates higher raw materials prices for the 30th consecutive month.
Demand is still robust, but the nation's employment resources and supply chains continue to struggle, Fiore concluded. "Respondents are again overwhelmingly concerned about tariff-related activity, including how reciprocal tariffs will impact company revenue and current manufacturing locations. Panelists are actively evaluating how to respond to these business changes, given the uncertainty."


– Description: After 10 years, I have come back to Halo Custom Edition once more; I am happy to present to you all, Arrival.
Arrival is a medium sized S Shaped canyon divided by Forerunner bridges and structures. I only tested Slayer and CTF on the map and both are good to go.
Long ago a Forerunner of the Builder rate found this secluded S shaped canyon and called it his home. Over the many years he found seclusion here from the political squabbling within the Forerunner Ecumene, he spent decades turning the once lush natural landscape into an integrate series of structures, towers and bridges. One day near the end of the Builder's life, a huge ring like object arrived in high orbit around the solemn world he called home. This ring and the ships that guarded it, can still be seen in the sky above the canyon, desolate and lifeless… which juxtaposes the now verdant canyon, where vegetation has begun to take back and reclaim the canyon for its own.


1 cup coconut powder (www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com) or unsweetened canned coconut milk (oriental food aisle of the grocery store). The powdered comes out less expensive per cup and has lots of uses for baking, sauces, and as a milk substitute.
1 stick butter, melted–Don't even think of using margarine!
20 drops of stevia, plain or flavored.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter, honey, and stevia and mix until all ingredients are wet. Add enough water for the desired consistency. Less water for a frosting, more for a syrup.

U.S. Will Boost 'Do Not Travel' Advisories to 80% Of World
By David Shepardson
WASHINGTON, April 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department said on Monday it will boost its "Do Not Travel" guidance to about 80% of countries worldwide, citing "unprecedented risk to travelers" from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The State Department already listed 34 out of about 200 countries as "Level 4: Do Not Travel," including places like Chad, Kosovo, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Haiti, Mozambique, Russia and Tanzania.
"This update will result in a significant increase in the number of countries at Level 4: Do Not Travel, to approximately 80% of countries worldwide," the department said in a statement.
Getting to 80% would imply adding nearly 130 countries.
The State Department said the move does not imply a reassessment of current health situations in some countries, but rather "reflects an adjustment in the State Department's Travel Advisory system to rely more on (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) existing epidemiological assessments."
Most Americans were already prevented from traveling to much of Europe because of COVID-19 restrictions. Washington has barred nearly all non-U.S. citizens who have recently been in most of Europe, China, Brazil, Iran and South Africa.
The White House has given no timeline for when it might ease those restrictions.
Asked for comment on the State Department announcement, Airlines for America, a trade group representing major U.S. carriers, said "the U.S. airline industry has been a strong advocate for the development of a risk-based, data-driven roadmap for restoring international travel."
The group added it continues "to urge the federal government to transparently establish the criteria – including clear metrics, benchmarks, and a timeline – for reopening international markets."
CDC did not immediately comment.
Earlier this month, the CDC said people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can safely travel within the United States at "low risk" but CDC Director Rochelle Walensky discouraged Americans from doing so because of high coronavirus cases nationwide.
"We know that right now we have a surging number of cases. I would advocate against general travel overall," Walensky said on April 2. "We are not recommending travel at this time, especially for unvaccinated individuals."

IPL 2018 Date Announced: Mumbai to host Opening and Final Match
Dates for the 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL 2018) have been announced by the IPL Governing Council. IPL 2018 is going to start from April 7 and final will be played on May 27. Both opening and final match will be played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. And the opening ceremony will be held in Mumbai on April 6.
IPL 11 to begin on 6th April 2018 with opening ceremony in Mumbai and first match on 7th April in Mumbai, the final on 27th May will also be in Mumbai
Shukla said.
Match timing is also changed which by suggest by the broadcaster Star Sports and is approved by the IPL Governing Council. The 8 pm match will start from 7 pm and 4 pm will start from 5:30 pm.
The broadcaster has requested for the change in match timings. By and large, the GC has accepted it. It gets too late in the night if the game starts at 8 pm. As far as the doubleheaders on weekends are concerned. The 4 pm game will now be played at 5.30 pm. There will be an overlap but the broadcaster says it has enough channels to show the games simultaneously
said IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla after the IPL GC meeting.
Kings XI Punjab will play its four home matches at Mohali and the other three at Indore.
The venue for the home matches of Rajasthan Royal will be finalised after the Rajasthan High Court's hearing on January 24.
The matter is in court. I think on 24th (Wednesday), the court may dispose of the matter. We are waiting for that. Preference will be given to Jaipur if the stadium is ready and court clears RCA's status. If that doesn't happen, the alternate venue will be Pune
said Shukla.
Sourav Ganguly is also an IPL GC member but was unable to attend the meeting.

To Our Friends, Family, and Patrons,
We at O'Faolains had hoped that by now we would have re-opened.To remain closed for such a long period comes at a high cost for all of us involved in O'Faolains and so throughout this time we have been impatiently awaiting a safe opportunity to get back to the business of taking care of our valued customers.
However our priority must be the health and safety of both our staff and customers. From the daily reports on national news it is clear that re-opened bars and restaurants are being identified by the various health authorities as very significant sources of new cases of the virus and in some states these bars are being forced to close up again. As large numbers of the public are extremely reluctant to visit those bars which are re-opened, the viability of these businesses is still very much in question.
Consequently, with a very heavy heart, we at O'Faolains have decided that the most responsible (if costly) decision is for us is to remain closed for a further period until we can be confident that we can have a re-opening that is both safe and prudent.
We ask for your understanding in this very difficult time for our hospitality industry and we look forward to providing "a little bit of Irish hospitality" in Sterling soon again.
