'Safe, secure and accurate': Arizona's Maricopa County certifies election after rowdy crowd objects
Sasha Hupka, USA TODAY
November 28, 2022, 8:08 p.m. ·5 min read
PHOENIX — A four-hour meeting packed with conspiracy allegations, outbursts and threats was capped off by a unanimous vote by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election .
Supervisor Steve Gallardo declared the 2022 election "over."
But not everybody in the room agreed.
At least 35 people stood at the podium Monday to address discontent and doubt around the elections system. The Board of Supervisors' auditorium, usually close to empty, was packed for the meeting.
In the span of a few hours, speakers took turns calling county leaders "political hacks," "clowns," "traitors" and "vote traffickers." As at a Nov. 16 meeting, they lambasted officials with unproven claims about a rigged election and asked them to refuse to canvass, or certify, the election tallies.
Their claims and demands were familiar to county supervisors, who were first hit with unfounded accusations of widespread fraud and a stolen election after Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race.
Statewide polling shows that large majorities of Arizona voters believe elections are fair and secure. But those unproven claims continue to circulate. The board has been under siege despite a Republican state Senate-ordered hand count of ballots that affirmed Biden's win and the county's point-by-point response to questions raised during that process.
The situation has only intensified since the most recent election, with conservative candidates and personalities launching challenges and criticism at Maricopa County before, during and after Election Day.
Cochise County:Board of Supervisors votes to delay certification of election results
The county faces a legal challenge over records from Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and an election lawsuit from Abe Hamadeh, the Republican nominee for state attorney general.
It also recently replied to a letter from the Arizona Attorney General's Office requesting answers to questions about its Election Day printer woes. County officials rejected a legislative subpoena from state Sen. Kelly Townsend seeking information and records related to the same problems, saying it wasn't "properly issued."
Despite the pushback, county leaders were firm going into Monday's meeting that they would be certifying the election results, even as some other counties delayed the process.
"Certification is not an optional act for the Board of Supervisors," said Chairman Bill Gates, a Republican. "It is our statutory duty to complete this part of the election process."
Meeting sees disruptions, well-known figures
As public comment got underway, numerous speakers called for an election redo.
"We do not have accuracy; we do not have integrity in these results," said Gail Golec of Scottsdale, a former candidate for county supervisor who encouraged people to bring their own blue-ink pens to the polls during the August primary.
Under the watch of about a dozen law enforcement officers, speakers booed and jeered as county supervisors thanked Recorder Stephen Richer for his work during the election. The room briefly erupted into shouting when Richer said there were "conspiracy theories about the election promoted on social media," prompting Gates to threaten to recess the meeting.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer addresses the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors during their general election canvass special meeting on Nov. 28, 2022, in Phoenix, Ariz.
One speaker said "violent revolution" was needed when peaceful processes like voting fail and another asked whether Supervisor Clint Hickman, the owner of Hickman's Egg Farms, had "another chicken farm to burn down." The comment referenced a 2020 conspiracy theory that falsely alleges Hickman, a Republican, fed ballots to his chickens and then set fire to his barn.
Election officials across the country have faced a wave of violent threats since the 2020 election. In Arizona, that harassment has caused some to leave their posts.
Some speakers were well-known figures within conservative circles. Those addressing the board included Ben Bergquam of Real America's Voice, a conservative television network, and podcaster Joe Oltmann of Colorado. Both repeatedly have suggested that the 2020 election was rigged.
"If you certify today, the only thing you'll be certifying is your own corruption," Bergquam said to applause.
Maricopa County:Why it rejected Arizona lawmaker's subpoena on election problems
Most of the crowd left after the public comment period closed, just as election officials began to present material on voting administration and problems at the polls. Republican Supervisor Jack Sellers said he wished more would have stayed after raising questions.
"I was disappointed that so many people clearly weren't here for answers," he said.
Those who did stay didn't stay quiet. One woman was asked to leave the room after yelling that supervisors were telling "lies, lies, lies." A man later walked out of the auditorium while shouting that the meeting was "political theater."
A woman is escorted out of the room after not following decorum at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors general election canvass special meeting on Nov. 28, 2022, in Phoenix, Ariz.
Officials present on printer issues
Election officials responded to questions from the public and misinformation narratives point-by-point during a presentation that stretched for much of the meeting.
They also gave additional details on the printer troubles Maricopa County had on Election Day, announcing that outside experts will review the issues.
"We will do everything we can to make sure this does not happen in future elections," Gates said.
Printers used at Maricopa County polling sites on Election Day were tested in advance and used the same settings as in previous elections, according to election officials.
Nevertheless, 31% of the county's vote centers had problems with printers producing ballots too light to be read by on-site tabulators on Election Day. About 1% of total ballots cast ultimately couldn't be counted at polling sites by those machines, officials said, but were tallied later at the county's elections center.
Officials said they first heard of the problems at 6:20 a.m., minutes after the polls opened. Election workers were actively implementing a settings change to solve the problem by 11:30 a.m., they said Monday.
Supervisors recommit to transparency; one lambasts Lake
Supervisors stressed in closing remarks that they remain committed to election transparency, calling the election "safe, secure and accurate."
"This was not a perfect election," Gates said. "There were issues. But we were transparent about that."
Gallardo, the county's lone Democratic supervisor, also lambasted some candidates, including Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake, for "not wanting to tell voters the truth."
He noted that Lake's campaign posted numerous times on Twitter during the meeting, showcasing people sharing "concerns and comments and yelling at us" but didn't post anything related to election officials' presentation and explanations.
"She wants to tell one side of the story," he said. "Shame on her. Shame on her."
Lake's campaign was not immediately available for comment.

Agdur
=====

Agdur is a micro-benchmarking library for the .NET framework.

Credits
-------

Agdur was inspired by the following two posts on [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com):

* [C#: Is this benchmarking class accurate](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1507405/c-is-this-benchmarking-class-accurate)
* [Benchmarking small code samples in C#, can this implementation be improved](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1047218/benchmarking-small-code-samples-in-c-can-this-implementation-be-improved)

The library is named in honor of table hockey player extraordinaire [Göran Agdur](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3LY64nCMIU), the benchmark of any aspiring table hockey player.

Basic Usage
-----------

Agdur provides an easy-to-use API for benchmarking an operation.

``` csharp
Benchmark.This(() => new object()).Times(100)
    .Average().InMilliseconds()
    .Max().InMilliseconds()
    .Min().InMilliseconds()
    .ToConsole().AsXml();
```

Table of Contents
-----------------

* [Benchmark](#section-benchmark)
* [Metrics](#section-metrics)
* [Output](#section-output)

Benchmark
---------

The `Benchmark` class serves as the main entry point of the benchmarking API. `Benchmark` defines two static methods `This` and `SetBenchmarkStrategyProvider`.

### This

To benchmark an action you use `Benchmark.This(Action action).Times(100)`, where `Times` specifies the number of times that the action should be executed. If you only need to run the action one time you could use the following shortcut `Benchmark.This(() => new object()).Once()`.

### SetBenchmarkStrategyProvider

Agdur is equipped with a default benchmarking strategy which, as previously mentioned, was based on the following two posts on [stackoverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com):

* [C#: Is this benchmarking class accurate](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1507405/c-is-this-benchmarking-class-accurate)
* [Benchmarking small code samples in C#, can this implementation be improved?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1047218/benchmarking-small-code-samples-in-c-can-this-implementation-be-improved)

If this strategy is insufficient to your needs you could define your own custom benchmarking strategy by implementing `IBenchmarkStrategy`.

``` csharp
public class CustomBenchmarkStrategy : IBenchmarkStrategy
{
    private readonly Action action;

    public CustomBenchmarkStrategy(Action action)
    {
        this.action = action;
    }

    public IEnumerable<TimeSpan> Run(int numberOfTimes)
    {
        // Your custom benchmark strategy.
    }
}
```

Using your custom benchmarking strategy is as simple as

``` csharp
Benchmark.SetBenchmarkStrategyProvider(action => new CustomBenchmarkStrategy(action));
```

Metrics
-------

For each benchmark it is possible to choose one or more metrics. Metrics are specified as a continuation of `Times`. You must also specify the unit of time that should be used for each metric.

    Benchmark.This(() => new object())
        .Times(100)
        .Average().InMilliseconds()
        .Max().InTicks()
        .Min.InTicks();

Agdur defines a number of predefined metrics: `Average`, `First`, `Max`, `Min` and `Total`.

If neither of these metrics should suit your needs you can choose to define your own custom metric using any of the `WithCustom` overloads. In fact, all predefined metrics are defined as extension methods of `WithCustom`.

The following example demonstrates how you could define your own custom average metric.

``` csharp
Benchmark.This(() => new object())
    .Times(100)
    .WithCustom("average", data => data.Average());
```

Agdur defines a couple of units of time in which the metrics should be displayed: `InMilliseconds` and `InTicks`.

As is the case for metrics, if neither unit of times should suit your needs you can choose to define your own custom unit of time using `InCustom`. All predefined unit of times are defined as extension methods of `InCustom`.

The following example demonstrates how you could define your own custom unit of time.

``` csharp
Benchmark.This(() => new object())
    .Times(100)
    .Average().InCustom(span => span.Seconds, "s");
```

Output
------

For each benchmark it is possible to choose where to and how the output should be written.

Use `ToConsole` if the output should be written to the console or `ToPath` if the output should be written to a file. Finally, use `ToCustom` if you would like to specify a `TextWriter` of your own choice.

Once you've decided where the output should be written to it is time to decided the format of the output using either `AsFormattedString`, `AsXml` or `AsCustom`.

My opinion: If you want the antenna hidden, tuck it under the body. The pics should reflect how the rig is driven ("show" bodies and wheels are acceptable, however).
This way a rig with a truly hidden antenna gets more "points" than one that's been photoshopped. What's to stop you from photoshopping out the body posts, or adding that cool set of wheels you wish you had on there?
It is fun. The failures are just practice.

Home Destination Oceania Maui Hawaii Best Island In The World
Maui Hawaii Best Island In The World
Your Maui is located right in the middle of the inhabited part of the Hawaiian island chain, Hawaiian Archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, a string of 132 islands, reefs and shoals going northwest to southeast and spanning over 1,500 miles (2,400 km), with five nearby islands in plain sight. First discovered by Polynesian voyagers around the year 450 A.D. Hawaii has the fourth longest coastline of any state in the US, and fully one-quarter of our reef fish exist nowhere else on Earth.
The island of Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands with a land area of 729 square miles,48 miles long and 26 miles across. After Oahu, Maui is also Hawaii's second most-visited island in the state. Maui is made up of two dormant volcanoes that overlapped one another to form a fertile valley or isthmus between them. The older volcano, Mauna Kahalawai is much older and has been eroded considerably. The larger Volcano called Haleakala (House of the Sun) rises to 10,023 feet (3,050 m). Both volcanoes are shield volcanoes and the low viscosity of the Hawaiian lava makes the likelihood of large explosive eruptions negligible.

Both volcanoes are shield volcanoes and the low viscosity of the Hawaiian lava makes the likelihood of large explosive eruptions negligible. There's a lot of nature and natural wonders packed into this little place.The coastal waters of Maui are blessed with a vast diversity of marine life and miles of exquisite coral reefs, making them some of the finest diving and fishing areas in the world, tropical rainforests, rolling green pasture lands, dryland forests, and spectacular rocky cliffs. The natural calm blue water filled with fish and marine life all along a white sand beach. The calm water makes for great swimming, boating, and fishing. The snorkeling is easy and relaxed. The soft sand is perfect for tanning, relaxing, volleyball, and the kids.
Maui is also called the Turtle Town known for its high population of Hawaiian green sea turtles. Turtles are all over the island. There are a few spots that turtles tend to concentrate in specifically. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (scientific name: Chelonia mydas) are actually named after the color of their body fat. The body fat is actually green. Maui is a leading whale-watching center in the Hawaiian Islands due to the breeding ground for the Humpback Whale, who winters here in the sheltered ʻAuʻau Channel between the islands of Maui county before returning to Alaska. The whales migrate approximately 3,500 miles (5,600 km) from Alaskan waters each autumn and spend the winter months mating and birthing in the warm waters off Maui. Maui's beaches are legend, have been the Best Island in The World lauded on top 10 lists for years.

Q: Replicating an Animation with Particles.JS I'm trying to replicate the animation effect of the particles exploding forward upon the load of this page: http://vincentgarreau.com/particles.js/
This is my HTML:

    <canvas class="particles-js-canvas-el">

And my CSS:
#particles-js {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: #000;
  background-image: url("");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  background position: 50% 50%;
  left: 0px;
}

canvas {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  display: block;
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

#particles-js .particles-js-canvas-el {
  -ms-transform: scale(1);
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  transform: scale(1);
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-animation: appear 1.4s 1;
  animation: appear 1.4s 1;
  -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards
}

Unfortunately, I'm not getting any animated response.
I would appreciate any insight into this matter! Thanks

A: Why it doesn't work:
You don't see the animation is because you have not defined its frames.
The demo has this CSS
#particles-js .particles-js-canvas-el {
    -ms-transform: scale(1);
    -webkit-transform: scale(1);
    transform: scale(1);
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-animation: appear 1.4s 1;
    animation: appear 1.4s 1;
    -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

Which is great but won't do anything without the actual animation frames. The animation frames are later defined in the sheet like so (example):
@keyframes appear {
 0% {
    -ms-transform: scale(0);
    -webkit-transform: scale(0);
    transform: scale(0);
    opacity: 0;
}
  100% {
    -ms-transform: scale(1);
    -webkit-transform: scale(1);
    transform: scale(1);
    opacity: 1;
}
}

You can try and see if adding the above to your CSS work. If so, great, if not create your own like below

How to do it from scratch
You can use CSS animation on either #particles-js or the canvas inside it.
Set  to transform: scale(0) and  by default and then using css animations, bring back the scale from 0 to 1
JsFiddle

body {
  overflow: hidden
}

#particles-js {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(0);
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: #000;
  background-image: url("");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  background position: 50% 50%;
  left: 0px;
  animation: explode 1s linear;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards
}

@keyframes explode {
  from {}
  to {
    transform: scale(1);
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

To apply the animation to the particles only, you need to apply the animation to the <canvas> element. With your current code, adding the CSS below would be enough because everything else is set up.
#particles-js .particles-js-canvas-el {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(0);
  animation: explode 1s linear;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

@keyframes explode {
  from {}
  to {
    transform: scale(1);
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

Apple triggering iPhone updates via EDGE?
What makes this situation curious is not only that, as aforementioned, no synchronization process, nor conspicuous software update was applied to enable the new function, but also that some users received the function early in the day, some later in the day, and some not at all. As we noted earlier, you may need to establish a .Mac email account on your iPhone and reset it to make the button appear, but even these steps did not result in successful addition for all users.
So how did the new button appear? One theory is that the Photos and Camera applications were updated by iPhone Update 1.0.1, released on July 31st, and somehow put on a timing mechanism under which they were not enabled until today, August 7th, to coincide with the .Mac announcements. If this is the case, however, why did some iPhones begin showing the function early in the day, and others later in the day? And why do some iPhones still not show the function, even after applying the 1.0.1 update, adding a .Mac email account, and resetting the unit?
Another theory, perhaps more plausible, is that Apple is somehow triggering unlocking of iPhone functionality through the EDGE network. Interesting, but perhaps not evidential, is the fact that one of our in-house iPhones was tethered to a WiFi network all day, and did not display the new button. To experiment, we shut WiFi off on the unit, and let it sit on EDGE for an hour or so. We then reset the iPhone, and lo and behold, the "Send to Web Gallery" button appeared.
While this is far from a conclusive indicator that modifications are being made over the EDGE network, it's certainly something worth considering.
Discuss: Apple triggering iPhone updates via EDGE?


AUBAGIO is a once-daily pill used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Take it anywhere, with or without food. Taking AUBAGIO (teriflunomide) is one way you may be able to help put your relapsing MS in the background.* Learn more about AUBAGIO'S EFFECTIVENESS.
Your healthcare provider will run certain tests before you start treatment. Once on AUBAGIO, your healthcare provider will monitor your liver enzymes levels monthly for the first 6 months.
Are you questioning if your current relapsing MS treatment meets your needs? Get a guide to help evaluate and learn what AUBAGIO can do.
Your choice of treatment is personal.
If your current treatment isn't meeting your needs, you can consider AUBAGIO. Or if you are newly diagnosed, or not currently on treatment, you can consider AUBAGIO.
Talk to your healthcare provider about whether AUBAGIO is right for you. If you need help talking to your healthcare provider, download the discussion guide.
Is it time to reevaluate your current relapsing MS treatment?
Exploring the science behind AUBAGIO.
MS is thought to be a result of immune cells becoming overactive and attacking the central nervous system, specifically targeting the outer covering of nerves known as the myelin sheath.
While we don't fully understand how AUBAGIO works, it is thought to work differently than other relapsing MS treatments. AUBAGIO is believed to block an enzyme immune cells use to rapidly multiply.
When you have MS, certain immune cells in your body become overactive and multiply.
AUBAGIO blocks an enzyme called DHODH that these overactive cells need to keep multiplying at their overactive rate.
Taken daily, AUBAGIO reduces the number of overactive immune cells thought to cause MS flare-ups, while still allowing normal immune cell activity to occur.
You have options. How you take and how often you take your relapsing MS treatment may influence your decision on which treatment is right for you. See the comparison chart below and talk with your doctor about what would work best for you.

Ohio Sugarist Raises the Barre
Posted by Author Casondra Brewster on 10/11/2014 to Educator Profiles
Kayla Johnson, Owner
Skin Care by Kayla Marie at Z Salon and Spa
Skin Care Rep for A Natural Difference
Body Sugaring Educator, Beauty Blogger & Dancer
Imagine someone with their leg up on the sink, as if it were a ballet barre, repeatedly practicing sugaring. Well, that wasn't some fantasy that was Kayla Johnson's realty for awhile.
"That was me," she said. "Leg propped up on my bathroom counter thinking, 'I'm never going to get this'!"
A former ballet dancer, Johnson wants everyone to know that sugaring takes time to learn, and is one of the reasons she became an educator.
"Some things are unexplainable," she said. "I can explain things over and over again, but sometimes it doesn't click or work quite how it should the first time for a student; but, in time, it just happens and they're on their way.
She said that teaching brings her valuable inspiration, which she hadn't expected.
"I often go back to work the next day (after teaching) feeling so great. It's so much fun teaching estheticians that are so hungry to learn something new, and see their eyes opened to this amazing art form."
One thing she'd like to teach everyone is the difference between sugaring and waxing.
"It is truly astounding!" Johnson said. "How we got away from sugaring to waxing, I will never know."
Johnson said she believes her business, Skin Care by Kayla Marie at Z Salon and Spa in Berea, Ohio, is more than a place where people's faces get massaged or learn to work with makeup.
"I'm a skin changer, confidence booster, therapist, and often leave work after a long day feeling satisfied, yet my body aches," she said. "Just because I work in a spa doesn't mean I don't work very hard."
She especially loves doing brow sugaring, she said, noting that the creativity it involves brings to light one of her strongest skills.
"My clients always say, 'you're the expert, so do whatever you want'!" she said. "This allows me, if needed, to completely re-frame a face. The look of shock and happiness after a brow sugaring is why I do my job."
Her personal philosophy on business it to offer treatments how she would want her own treatments done, she said.
"I do this while staying true to my love of natural and organic products, and a holistic approach to skincare," Johnson said.
With that in mind it was a instinctive that she would partner with Tamara's Sugar. She said that she first found Tamara's company more than three years ago when she was searching for a company to train her in sugaring.
"At the time, I didn't really know all what sugaring was, or had ever seen a treatment before," Johnson said. "After getting such a quick, kind, and informative response from Tamara, I knew hers was the company for me."

Overview
--------

A L2 network reflects a `layer2 broadcast domain <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_domain>`_ in a datacenter. That means,
in addition to the traditional OSI data link layer, all technologies that provide layer 2 isolation can be L2 networks
in ZStack. For example, VLAN, VxLAN, or SDNs that create layer 2 overlay networks. In ZStack, a L2 network is responsible
for providing the layer 2 isolation method to child L3 networks.

.. _l2Network physical interface:

Physical Interface
==================

The physical interface is a string that contains information needed by a L2 network plugin for manipulating network system in a datacenter.
The information encoded in physical interface is specific to L2 network types and hypervisor types of clusters that L2 networks may
attach. This sounds a little complex. The complexity is originated from hypervisors using their own notations to describe L2 networks, and
a L2 network can be attached to multiple clusters of different hypervisor types. A real world example may help to understand this.

Let's say your datacenter has a L2 network (l2Network A) which spans to two clusters, one is a KVM cluster, another is a VMWare cluster. In KVM,
the L2 network is realized by ethernet device in Linux operating system; in this example, let's assume each eth0 of KVM hosts
connects to the L2 network. In the VMWare cluster, the L2 network is realized by vswitch; in this example, let's assume vswitch0 in the VMWare cluster
connects to the L2 network; then the typology is like:

.. image:: l2Network-physical-interface.png
   :align: center

As mentioned in section :ref:`host <host>`, lots of operations seemingly applied to clusters are actually delegated to hosts;
Here, when attaching the L2 network A to the KVM cluster and the VMWare cluster, ZStack must understand what are notations describing the L2
network in those hypervisors of clusters; in this case, ZStack must know that on KVM hosts, eth0 is the representation of the L2 network, but on VMWare
hosts, vswitch0 is the representation. Physical interface is the field that encodes those hypervisor specific information.

.. note:: As this ZStack version supports only KVM, we won't discuss VMWare details for L2 networks. Above example largely aims to help understand
          the design of the physical interface.

.. _l2Network attach cluster:

Attaching Cluster
=================

Attaching cluster is to associate L2 networks to sibling clusters, which provides a flexible way that manifests relations between hosts and
layer 2 networks in a real datacenter. Let's see a concrete example.

.. image:: l2Network-cluster1.png
   :align: center

Let's assume the network typology in your datacenter is as above diagram. Eth0 of hosts in all clusters are on the same layer 2 network called L2
Network1; eth1 of cluster1 and cluster3 are on another layer 2 network called L2 network2. To describe this typology in ZStack, you can attach L2 network1
to all three clusters but attach L2 network2 to only cluster1 and cluster3.

A couple months later, the network typology needs changing because of business requirements, you unplug cables of eth1 of hosts in cluster3 from the rack switch,
so cluster3 is not with L2 network2 anymore; you can detach the L2 network2 from cluster3 to notify ZStack about the network typology change.

.. image:: l2Network-cluster2.png
   :align: center

L2NoVlanNetwork
===============

L2NoVlanNetwork, whose properties are listed in :ref:`properties <l2Network properties>` is the base type of L2 Networks.
The 'NoVlan' in the name DOESN'T mean the network cannot use VLAN technology, it only denotes that ZStack itself will not use VLAN
to create a layer 2 broadcast domain in an active manner. To make it clear, take a look at below two diagrams:

.. image:: l2NoVlanNetwork1.png
   :align: center
   :width: 500px
   :height: 400px

In this setup, two switch ports 5 and 12 are untagged with VLAN 10(access port with VLAN 10 in Cisco term), and connect to eth0 on host1 and host2 respectively. This
is a very valid setup matching to a L2NoVlanNetwork. Admin cans create a L2NoVlanNetwork with 'physicalInterface' = 'eth0' and attach it to the cluster.

.. image:: l2NoVlanNetwork2.png
   :align: center
   :width: 500px
   :height: 400px

In this setup, two switch ports 5 and 12 are tagged with VLAN 10(trunk port with VLAN 10 in Cisco term), and respectively connect to eth0.10 that is a pre-created VLAN device on host1
and host2. This is also a very valid setup matching to a L2NoVlanNetwork. Admins can create a L2NoVlanNetwork with 'physicalInterface' =
'eth0.10' and attach it to the cluster.

Now it should be understood that a L2NoVlanNetwork maps to a pre-created layer 2 broadcast domain; ZStack won't create any new broadcast domain for L2NoVlanNetwork.

L2NoVlanNetwork KVM Specific
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When attaching a L2NoVlanNetwork to a KVM cluster, the :ref:`physicalInterface <l2Network physical interface>` should be the ethernet device name in the Linux operating system; for example,
eth0, eth0.10, em1. ZStack will use 'physicalInterface' as device name when creating a bridge using brctl. The pseudo operations are like::

    Assuming physicalInterface = eth0

    brctl create br_eth0
    brctl addif br_eth0 eth0

.. note:: If you have multiple clusters of hosts whose ethernet devices connect to the same L2 network, and you want to attach that L2 network to those clusters,
          please make sure names of all ethernet devices are the same among all Linux operating systems on hosts. For example, all ethernet devices are named as eth0.
          The best practice is installing the same Linux system on hosts of those clusters, or using udev to make all device names same.

L2NoVlanNetwork Inventory Example
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

::

    {
      "inventory": {
        "uuid": "f685ff94513542bbb8e814027f8deb13",
        "name": "l2-basic",
        "description": "Basic L2 Test",
        "zoneUuid": "45a2864b6ddf4d2fb9b4c3736a923dcb",
        "physicalInterface": "eth0",
        "type": "L2NoVlanNetwork",
        "createDate": "Jun 1, 2015 12:58:35 PM",
        "lastOpDate": "Jun 1, 2015 12:58:35 PM",
        "attachedClusterUuids": []
      }
    }

L2VlanNetwork
=============

A L2VlanNetwork is a L2 network that ZStack will actively use a VLAN to create a layer 2 broadcast domain. The ways that ZStack create layer 2 broadcast domains depend
on hypervisor types of clusters, to which L2 networks are going to attach. In addition to :ref:`properties <l2Network properties>`, a L2VlanNetwork has one more property:

.. list-table::
   :widths: 20 40 10 20 10
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Name
     - Description
     - Optional
     - Choices
     - Since
   * - **vlan**
     - VLAN id used to create layer 2 broadcast domain
     -
     - [0, 4095]
     - 0.6

When attaching a L2VlanNetwork to a cluster, ZStack uses 'vlan' collaborating with 'physicalInterface' to create vlan devices on hosts in the cluster; in order to make this work,
the switch ports to which ethernet devices identified by 'physicalInterface' connect must be tagged with 'vlan'. For example:

.. image:: l2VlanNetwork1.png
   :align: center
   :width: 500px
   :height: 400px

In this setup, switch ports 5 and 12 have been tagged with VLAN 10, then admins can create a L2VlanNetwork with 'physicalInterface' = 'eth0' and 'vlan' = 10 and
attach it to the cluster.

L2VlanNetwork KVM Specific
++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When attaching a L2VlanNetwork to a KVM cluster, ZStack will create VLAN devices on all hosts in the cluster then create bridges. The pseudo operations are like::

    Assuming physicalInterface = eth0, vlan = 10

    vconfig add eth0 10
    brctl create br_eth0_10
    brctl addif br_eth0_10 eth0.10

.. note:: Like L2NoVlanNetwork, please make sure ethernet device names of all hosts in clusters to which a L2VlanNetwork is about to attach are the same.

JG, Caesarea: David Brooks, "Hillary, This Is Why Democrats Are Still Struggling": Honest Self-Appraisal From Hillary?
David Brooks, "Hillary, This Is Why Democrats Are Still Struggling": Honest Self-Appraisal From Hillary?
"Donald Trump has presented you with an amazing opportunity to become a world historical figure! If you crush him in this election, you could create a new Democratic majority and reduce the G.O.P. to an ever-declining rump of ethnic nationalism. On the other hand, if you fail to beat Trump, you will go down as America's most hapless political loser and be vilified forever for enabling an era of American Putinism."
Indeed, Hillary should be worried. As reported by CNN yesterday, Trump is now leading Clinton by five percentage points in a four-way matchup, and by three percentage points when matched head-to-head.
"Imagine if you displayed honest self-appraisal and even moments of remorse. You'd have the world rooting for you, not against you."
Honest self-appraisal and remorse from Hillary, a narcissist who, like Trump (although perhaps not on the same order of magnitude), is consumed with feelings of entitlement? David, you cannot expect this from Hillary, as evidenced by her refusal to come to terms with FBI Director Comey's conclusions.
The world would be rooting for Hillary and not against her? Sorry, David, but it's too late. Maybe if she had flown into Dallas immediately after the massacre earlier this month (remember how she claimed to have flown into Bosnia under sniper fire), but instead she cancelled all campaign events.
Heck, Hillary has gone more than 200 days without a news conference. Honest self-appraisal simply isn't in the cards.
David Brooks must think it is 1992.
"...With just one word, U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia proved to anyone who bothered to pay attention that the Democratic Party is no longer the traditional safe haven of the American Jew.
Speaking in Philadelphia at an pre-Democratic National Convention event sponsored by a group from the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement, the House Armed Services Committee member compared the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria to "termites," according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Outraged, Sara Z. told JewishPress.com that anti-Semitism in the American Democratic Party is growing by leaps and bounds.
In an exclusive interview, Sara (who requested anonymity out of fear of reprisal from neighbors) said the phenomenon is "similar to the rising anti-Semitism in Britain's Labour Party." She said it has destroyed a party where Jews once felt welcomed — and that she could see that day coming for Democrats in the U.S., maybe sooner than they realized. "Perhaps Senator Hank Johnson has forgotten history, or is this another way to echo Adolf Hitler's sentiments? In 1938 the anti-Semitic rhetoric was that Jews were "vermin," she said.
"In 2016, we are now "termites." It seems like nothing changes. In the era of 'Black Lives Matter' it seems that once again, the Jews are the world's scapegoats, the disposable ones," she continued. ..."
"...in some ways the entire Democratic convention is a repudiation of all things Bill.
It's hard to recall these days, but Bill Clinton's 1992 platform and presidency were once thought to deliver the Democratic Party from precisely this kind of thinking. Back then, Mr. Clinton was the face of the "New Democrat" who aimed to persuade the American people Democrats had changed from the McGovern days and could be trusted on values, the economy and national security.
In 1992, the party of Bill Clinton called business a "noble endeavor." Its platform sounded downright Paul Ryanish, listing its "first priority" as "broad-based, non-inflationary economic growth and the opportunity that flows from it." And it declared its opposition to "the adoption of new programs and new spending without new thinking." ..."

Wearhouse Grille Hosts LHF Restaurant Night
Community-Archives, | By LHN Staff I February 22, 2013
LAKE HOPATCONG _ The Lake Hopatcong Foundation hosted its second Restaurant Night fundraising event at The Wearhouse Grille Thursday night.
Regina Makowski, owner, estimated that her regular Thursday night dinner crowd grew an additional 25 per cent because of the Foundation event. A veteran at hosting local charity fundraisers, Makowski was prepared, scheduling more staff both in the kitchen and in the dining room.
"These events not only help business but they are also helpful to the charities. It's a great way to give back to the community, who has
been so generous and so kind to me over the years," said Makowski.
The Wearhouse Grille will also host the 11th Hour Rescue organization on Wednesday, April 3. The restaurant has been hosting two or three events per year for 11th Hour for the past three years. They also participated in the Lake Hopatcong Elks Lodge #782 Leap in the Lake event earlier this month, raising $7000 for the children with special needs charity.
"It was so nice of Regina to host the Foundation tonight," said Jess Murphy, president of the Lake Hopatcong Foundation. "She has been an asset to the Foundation, offering her time and her business. We thank her and all the people who come out on Restaurant Night, and appreciate the people who support local businesses and the Foundation. And people get to eat good food," she said.
Last month the Foundation hosted its first Restaurant Night at Alice's in Nolan's Point. Over 60 people attended the Wednesday night event and the management at Alice's donated just over $400 dollars to the Foundation.
"The purpose of Restaurant Night is to build community relationships, get the word out about the Foundation and to sustain local businesses," said Rebecca Rubenstein, a Foundation volunteer and event coordinator. "It's not a huge money-making event for us but it is a way to connect to the community," she said.
Sisters-in-law Julie and Kathy Flatt both used to live on the lake. Until a couple of years ago, Kathy lived in her family's 1958 East Shore Estates lakefront house that was built by her grandfather. She and her family moved to Blairstown. Julie and her family also left the lake, moving to Independence, after living in the Woodport section since 1987. Through word of mouth, both got wind of the fundraising event and could not pass up the opportunity to show their support.
"We came back because we have such an affinity to the lake. It's such a good cause. We wanted to support our friends who live here and who volunteer with the Foundation," said Kathy who said she will help spread the word about future Restaurant Night events.
"I intend to come back next month and bring more people," said Julie. "It's a great cause, why wouldn't we want to support it?" she said.
There are two more Restaurant Nights scheduled said Rubenstein. On the calendar for next month, Thursday, March 21, is Pavinici's Italian Grill in Hopatcong. The Mason Street Pub and Marina in Jefferson is scheduled for Thursday, May 23. Rubenstein said she is working hard at scheduling a restaurant on month and hopes to have a schedule out soon. For more information or to help with the events, email her at beckyrubenstein@lakehopatcongfoundation.org.
Sonny Johnson, a lakefront property owner for 44 years, found out about the event through word of mouth. She vows she will support future efforts of the Foundation, including Restaurant Night, because she believes strongly in the efforts to preserve the quality of the lake and the residents who live around it.
"We need to save the lake, otherwise my property, all the properties, will be worthless," she said.

Shapewear offered to students for Miss. body image program
Fri,01/14/22-12:13PM, 107 Reads
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi middle school has canceled a program designed to educate students about body image after parents became angry over a form that offered students shapewear.
The form, sent by school counselors at Southaven Middle School, was meant to introduce a program to address societal stress on young girls to have "ideal" bodies, WMC-TV reported.
The letter asked for parental permission to give children health products, literature, bras and shapewear that had been donated to the school.
"I was really surprised," Southaven Middle School parent Ashely Heun told WMC-TV. "I had to read it several times. Because I thought there's no way this is saying what I think that it says."
Heun said she emailed Southaven's principal to express her concerns. She also posted a photo of the letter on social media where commenters shared her outrage.
"There are girls who have a need for maybe bras or some other essential things that may be, for whatever reason, they don't have access to and I absolutely love the fact that the school felt that maybe they could help with that. But shapewear should have never been in the conversation," Heun said.
The DeSoto County School District said the school has canceled the program.
"The district has been made aware of the parental permission form sent to parents by Southaven Middle School," Lauren Margeson, assistant to the DeSoto County Schools superintendent, said told The News & Observer in a statement. "District officials understand how this type of information causes serious concern from parents.

Melissa Griffin: Gov. Brown's Tax Campaign Takes Strange Turn
Filed Under:Caltrans, Campaign 2012, CBS 5 Mornings, Gov. Jerry Brown, Jerry Brown, Ku Klux Klan, Melissa Griffin, NAACP, Prop 30, Proposition 30, Tax Initiative

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) – Faced with mounting opposition and additional reports of fiscal mismanagement, California Gov. Jerry Brown's defense of Proposition 30 tax increase is raising eyebrows.
In the commercials for Prop 30, there is emphasis on recent cuts to state funding. Brown understands, quite reasonably, that voters need to feel that our current tax dollars are being spent wisely. Here's one such commercial, and notice the mention of cuts to funding for cars.

While it is true that this year's budget did contain cuts to the budget for state-owned cars, a recent expose by CBS Los Angeles showed that Caltrans is simply renting cars for their employees and it has cost a whopping $750,000 so far this year. The investigation also showed Caltrans employees using those – rather fancy – rental cars to do personal errands including shopping at department stores and buying booze.
So, the report comes out and last Friday at the statewide meeting of the National Associate for the Advancement of Colored People, Brown was asked about it and he said, "there are 300,000 employees in the state of California, and I'd like to watch over all of them, but I think only God can accomplish that."
Of course, that statement neglects the fact that the 300,000 number no doubt includes supervisors, managers and department heads whose job is, in fact, to watch over state employees. But as they say, there are no atheists in foxholes, which may also explain why Brown – an avowed Buddhist – even quoted the Bible at the NAACP event, "To whom much is given is much required." [Luke 12:48]

It's no surprise that Brown is feeling like he's in a foxhole fighting a war. Last week for the first time, support for the tax fell below 50 percent in the polls.
To some degree, Brown blames the downward trend on an unknown group of donors in Arizona that has given $11 million dollars to the Small Business Action Committee, which is opposed to Prop 30.
At that same NAACP event last Friday, Brown said, "I don't know where these people are from, because they're hiding, they're wearing masks."
And "Remember the people who liked to run around in hoods because they didn't want people to see who the hell they are?"
There was no reported immediate outrage but that could change as the story gets out. You might recall that Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden told a NAACP meeting earlier this year that Romney's economic plan would "put y'all back in chains." The controversy that followed was a real embarrassment for the Obama administration.
Brown denies that he was referring to the Ku Klux Klan which no one believes. In fact, on Twitter, several people have offered sarcastic suggestions about what "hooded people" he might have been referring to: Gregorian monks, Dementors from Harry Potter and even Jawas from Star Wars.

Looks like it is the season of weddings. Recently Mollywood actor Bhavana tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend Naveen last month. Now if reports are to be believed, Shriya Saran is entering wedlock with her Russian boyfriend in March. Also, rumour is that the pretty lady is in Russia currently to talk to her beau's parents and has chosen Rajasthan as the destination for her wedding. Reports also suggest that while the couple met each other recently, they have decided to take the plunge.
Shriya Saran, who has done several movies in Tamil and Telugu, made her acting debut in 2001 with Ishtam. Since then Shriya has slowly and steadily built a strong career in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi film industries. Known for graceful dance moves and svelte looks, Shriya was quite the dream girl for many. She was part of several commercial blockbusters and critically acclaimed films like Deepa Mehta's Midnight Children.
She was last seen opposite Nandamuri Balakrishna in Paisa Vasool. Shriya is currently awaiting the release of Gayathri where she shares the screen with Mohan Babu and Vishnu Manchu.

The overweight is one of the most common problems of these days in the world. Most of the people get hopeless and disappointed by the overweight problem. After the hard work and consuming so much money, they can not get their goals. But there are some ways by which you can lose weight naturally.
Green tea is very useful for reducing the weight.It contains the antioxidants properties that are really useful for fat burning. It has the epigallocatechin gallate which is tailor-made for reducing the weight and it also contains vitamin C, chromium, selenium, zinc and carotenoids. These all are very useful minerals for reducing weight. Drink green tea two or three times in a day.
To reduce the weight it is very important to eat such a food that is sufficient for weight reducing goals. It means you eat the food full of protein which can fulfill your appetite and do not increase your calories as other foods do.
Fast food is not a good option for health and to reduce the weight. Therefore you should avoid the fast food.It contains a lot of calories which are caused by overweight.
Rest is very compulsory for all parts of our body.Different studies suggest that if you do not get enough sleep your insulin level of the body is effected which is cause to increase weight.
Drink more water is the easiest and simplest way to reduce your weight. When you drink more water it helps you to burn the body fat and if you drink water before the meal it becomes more useful and beneficial. Water is good for losing weight because it contains zero calories.

When you eating so fast you do not realize that it would be very difficult for the stomach to digest it properly. When you eat slowly and chewing the food more, it's really good for the digestion system and weight loss.
To bring change in your lifestyle is very important because if you finding problems with your daily going routine it means there is something wrong with your lifestyle. If you are a smoker then just avoid it, if you eat more then just little it, if you do not workout do some proper workout and do some healthy dieting to reduce weight don't for the hunger. So when you bring these healthy changes in your life it would be great for you.

Why Bhutan Is the Toughest Place in the World To Set a Himalayan Speed Record
by Jayme Moye
In October a team of endurance athletes set a speed record on the Snowman Trek, a 188-mile trail through Bhutan's high Himalayas that was originally a 17th-century Mongol-invasion route. They completed the trail in 15 days and 7 hours. That is fast considering the 97,131 vertical feet of elevation gain and loss — the equivalent of climbing up and down Everest four times. But in this hey-day of speed mountaineering it isn't that fast you say? You may be right. But then again, the likes of Ueli Steck and Karl Egloff aren't ascending mountains with five cooks, 21 horses, and a foreign guide who thinks you're nuts.
Unlike other popular Himalayan trekking countries including Nepal, and even Tibet, the trails of the Kingdom of Bhutan remain largely unexplored. Part of the reason comes from a ban the country enacted in 1994 that prevents climbing any peaks above 6,000 meters (19,800 feet) out of respect for local spiritual beliefs. And part of it comes from Bhutan's tight rein on tourism. They didn't allow any tourists in until 1974 and even today there are restrictions, including the fact that foreigners are not allowed to travel alone in the country.
MORE: How Adrian Ballinger Demolished the Cho Oyu Summit Speed Record
This turned out to be a major hitch for the team — consisting of Ben Clark, Timmy Olson, and Anna Frost — who had to book a guided package tour with a licensed Bhutanese Tour Operator. Then they had to figure out how to get their guides to keep up. The entourage that was forced on them consisted of one guide, five cooks, two horsemen, and 21 horses carrying food, water, and expedition gear. The guide, Wang Chuk, told Clark that 18 days was the fastest he could commit, and even then, he'd be forcing the staff to go without any breaks, moving twice as fast as the normal expedition pace. "I found out later that the more senior guides had left when they heard we were arriving," says Clark. "They all thought we were insane."
On the trail, Clark and team encountered relentless rain and snow that kept them constantly wet, and turned paths already churned up from horse hooves into knee-deep ravines of shoe-sucking mud. Temperatures dipped into the teens, resulting in some close calls with hypothermia. The altitude was a constant stressor, with 11 mountain passes topping 16,000 feet. A fourth teammate, Chris Ord, was forced to accept a medical evacuation after succumbing to pulmonary edema. But Clark says their most critical challenge was getting the Bhutanese crew to understand, and buy into, the speed-record goal.
ALSO: Karl Meltzer Sets New Appalachian Trail Record Fueled by Spree, Oreos, and Bacon
"We tried to show by example, by being driven and motivated, and teaching techniques for how to go faster and lighter," says Clark. "I think we mostly just drove everyone crazy." In the end, it was Wang the guide who turned the tide. He gathered the crew and told them that they would make history with this trek.
Clark, 37, first envisioned setting a speed record on the Snowman Trek in 2012, when he was making the transition from high-altitude mountaineer to ultra-runner. He'd spent the previous 10 years making first ascents in the Himalayas, and setting records, including becoming the youngest person, at age 23, to lead a successful expedition up the north side of Everest. Clark was well aware of the fact that speed records were unheard of in Bhutan, but wanted to try. "Ever since I'd first learned of the Snowman Trek, I really wanted to check it out," he says. "And setting a speed record seemed like one last thing I could accomplish in my Himalayas career before I officially retired."

Re: How friggin clueless and dumb can he be?
In fact for last August I found a five star for someone----$83 usd a night. About 75 euros? With luck you can also be in a decent two star with no lift, no a/c, and steep stars for just a little more.
Expensive? Only if you dont know how to do it. I have seen five stars for right at or under or just slightly above $100 usd in August. Four stars as well. Good ones.
August can be very inexpensive at least as far as 4-5 star hotels.
In fact I can be in a 4-5 star cheaper than a 2 star in August.

I've been attempting handsprings for about two years now with no improvement. I still get into position and fall flat on my back. I've had the technique explained to me and think I have the basic understanding of the technique. I am also able to do handstand push-ups, so I don't think that arm strength is an issue.
What I do have problems with is flexibility. While I am overall not a flexible person, my back is particularly bad. My sensei describes it as a "board" if that helps at all. I recently started doing yoga daily, and it has helped a little, as well as bridging exercises. I was wondering if anyone else had advice or specific exercies which might help.
Try lying flat on your back, legs slightly apart, arms at a slight angle to your body, palms facing upwards and fingers "supple". The rock your centre from side to side keeping your chest and neck mucles relaxed.
Do this for about 20 to 30 minutes then lie still for a short while.


As it name, the mod is so simple, and its jobs as help you add two major features to the game.
First, it will add an item called the Portable. It is an item that will make you accessible to your enchant table, crafting table, ender chest and anvil with a simple click. When you hold and make a right click on to the item, you will be given a list of options of the previously mentioned tables and chests to choose from. Second, this mod adds an other item to your Minecraft, that is the Remote Block. The Remote Block item allows players to access their chests from distances away. When you hold SHIFT as you make a right click on the chest you want to make accessible, the feature will be activated.
These features are simple, but very useful. The mod completely removes the need to run back and forth to find the chests, tables, and anvil.
The mod adds two major features, which will eliminate the need to run back and forth to and from the chests, tables, and anvil.
If and only if you are a person who doesn't need quick and simple access to the chests, tables, and anvil, this will be another ordinary mod for you. However, it is a mod that is worth the try.
The mod will allow players to save so much time. In time when you would usually have to run back and forth from and to the chests, tables, and anvil, you can now focus more on the activities you consider more valuable and crucial.
The mod has been updated for the latest version of Minecraft.
Portable Core recipe has been fixed.
