Thought for the Day – 11 July – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
"Vanity destroys whatever is good in our actions and makes them useless in the sight of God.
It robs our good actions of all merit because they should be done only for the glory of God, whereas we are performing them for our own glory.
We want them to be seen by others so that we shall be honoured by men as noble and holy.
If our actions have been motivated by self-interest, rather than by the desire for the glory of God, we shall hear, at the judgement seat of God the terrible condemnation:
"You have received your reward" (Cf Mt 6:2).
If we have sought our own satisfaction instead of God's glory during our lifetime, we shall not receive an everlasting reward!"

Quote/s of the Day – 11 July – Blessed art thou
Quote/s of the Day – 11 July – The Memorial of St Pius I, Pope (Died c 154) Martyr – 1 Peter 5:1-4; 5:10-11, Matthew 16:13-19
"Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona
because flesh and blood
hath not revealed it to thee
but My Father Who is in Heaven."
"Faith gives rise to prayer
and this prayer obtains
an increase of faith."
St Augustine (354-430)
Father and Doctor of Grace
"My sheep follow me," says Christ.
By a certain God-given grace,
believers follow in the footsteps of Christ.
No longer subject to the shadows of the Law ,
they obey the commands of Christ,
and guided by His words,
rise through grace,
to His own dignity,
for they are called children of God.
When Christ ascends into heaven,
they also follow Him."
St Cyril of Alexandria (376-444)
Father & Doctor of the Church
"And like the little grain of mustard seed …
we should set it in the garden of our soul,
all weeds being pulled out
for the better feeding of our faith.
Then shall it grow and …
through the true belief of God's word …
we shall be well able to command
a great mountain of tribulation
to void from the place
where it stood in our hearts,
whereas with a very feeble faith
and faint, we shall scarcely
be able to remove a little hillock."
St Thomas More (1478-1535)
I believe in God,
Creator of heaven and earth
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come
the resurrection of the body
and life everlasting.

One Minute Reflection – 11 July – '… It is no accident whether a person believes or not. …'
One Minute Reflection – 11 July – "The Month of the Precious Blood" – The Memorial of St Pius I, Pope (Died c 154) Martyr – 1 Peter 5:1-4; 5:10-11, Matthew 16:13-19
"Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee but My Father Who is in Heaven." – Matthew 16:17
REFLECTION – "Faith in Me, He intimates here, is no ordinary thing or one that comes from human reason but [it] needs a revelation from above. And this He establishes throughout His discourses, showing, that this faith requires a noble sort of soul and one drawn on by God. The expression "that the Father gives Me" shows, that it is no accident whether a person believes or not. It shows, that belief is not the work of human reasoning but requires a revelation from on high and a mind devout enough to receive the revelation. "Whoever then," our Lord says, "comes to Me, shall be saved," meaning, they shall be greatly cared for. For to save such as these, I took up flesh and the form of a servant." – St John Chrysostom (347-407) Archbishop of Constantinople, Father and Doctor of the Church (Homilies on the Gospel of John 45)"
PRAYER – Look forgivingly on thy flock, Eternal Shepherd and keep it in Thy constant protection, by the intercession of blessed Pius thy Martyr and Sovereign Pontiff, whom Thou didst constitute Shepherd of the whole Church.. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who lives and reigns with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen (Collect).

Our Morning Offering – 11 July – Daily Offering to the Father
Our Morning Offering – 11 July – "The Month of the Most Precious Blood"
Daily Offering to the Father
Attri To St Gertrude the Great (1256-1302)
I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood
of Thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal Church,
for those in my own home,
and in my family.
You might see fantastic claims for this prayer, especially printed on Holy Cards, such as the release of 1000 souls from Purgatory, each time it is prayed. Nowhere in St Gertrude's writings, is this wild promise made so be careful of treating prayers and devotions as amulets or magical charms. And further, this prayer is claimed to have been written by heer but this is very uncertain.
The Church has summarily condemned prayer cards containing a promise to release one or more souls from Purgatory, or any other 'miraculous' claims.
Such an easy way to release 1,000 souls seems inconsistent with the Church's understanding of Purgatory and, given all the means the Church employs to help the dead, such as special Masses or Indulgences applicable only to the dead.
Posted in AUGUSTINIANS OSA, PATRONAGE - EYES, SAINT of the DAY
Saint of the Day – 11 July – Saint Kjeld of Viborg OSA (Died c 1150) "St Francis of the North"
Saint of the Day – 11 July – Saint Kjeld of Viborg OSA (Died c 1150) St Francis of the North," Priest, Apostle of the poor, needy and sick. Born in Denmark and died in c 1150 n Viborg, Denmark of natural causes. Patronage – Viborg, Denmark, of the blind and those with eye diseases. Also known as – "St Francis of Assisi of the North," Ketil, Ketille, Kield, Exuperian.
Kjeld was born in the early 12th Century to wealthy parents, who lived on a farm in central Denmark. He was a Godly boy and it was soon decided that he should have a future in the Church. He was sent to Viborg, where he joined the Cathedral College or Chapter. The Cathedral Chapter was the place where Priests were trained and while they lived as Canons at the Cathedral, they assisted the Bishop in his administrative work. The Canons Regular lived in a community following St Augustine's Rule and they were led by a Prior.
Kjeld thrived in the Cathedral Chapter, where he was elected as head of the Cathedral Chapter College and around 1145 he was elected Prior of the other Canons. Kjeld was a very caring, generous and compassionate man who gave all he could to the sick, poor and needy. It is told in his biography that IN 1145, when Viborg City was threatened by fire, Kjeld ran to the Tower of the Cathedral, where he prayed fervently to God to spare the City and the Church, after which the fire miraculously receded.
Despite the fact that the Canons had chosen Kjeld as their Prior, there soon came disputes between them and him, apparently because they objected to his generous distribution of the Cathedral Chapter's funds to the poor. The Canons elected a new Prior and Kjeld moved to Aalborg for a while. Although Kjeld was popular in Aalborg he longed to spread the Christian faith and desired Martyrdom among the Wends. He went on a pilgrimage to Rome, where he visited the Tombs of the Apostles and had an audience with Pope Eugene III (1145-1153). He sought the Pope's permission to go on a mission among the Wends but, although he received the desired authorisation, the Pope expressed the sentiment that he would rather see Kjeld return to Viborg and continue his work as Prior of the Cathedral College. The Pope wrote to the Cathedral College, who had to bow and take Kjeld back as their leader. But soon after, in 1150, Kjeld died in Viborg and was buried in the Cathedral.
Numerous miracles were granted by God at his grave. The sick became healthy after visits to the tomb and the blind especially, were granted their sight – according to the Saint's biography, at least twelve people had their sight restored. The Church authorities now sought Kjeld's Canonisation and they, therefore, sent a request to the Pope in Rome. In 1188 Pope Clement III (1187-1191) consented and the Archbishop Absalon celebrated Kjeld's Canonisation locally, which occurred on 11 July 1189.

SNOWBALL DERBY COVERAGE
By Mike Twist, Elgin Traylor and Jason Buckley
Wauters Team Tossed Out of 41st Annual Snowball Derby
Soaked Tires Is Reason; Owner Explains and Fumes
"We caught him (Wauters) with two sets of soaked tires yesterday," said Wauters. "He said that was all he had. We, of course, have a no soaked policy and we told the drivers they would be escorted off the property [if they were caught with soaked tires]. We went over there to tell him and he came up with four more sets of tires that he wanted to put into impound, and we said no you're leaving."
Wauters met with Brooks for approximately 30 minutes behind the team's hauler on pit road right after the pits opened on Friday morning. The conversation was a private one between both men, but it appeared to remain civil.
"He was pleasant, he knew he got busted," said Brooks. "It's something that should have never been questioned. It's just real crazy."
"I talked to him and I didn't fight with him a bit," said Wauters. "He's got a hard-on for me. I got into it with him several years ago and every time I've come here, he has had a problem with me. My car went through tech legal and there were no problems or issues. They had to find something."

Immediately after the conversation, Speed51.com asked Wauters about the situation. At first, Wauters responded with a four letter word, that couldn't be printed here and really did not appear to be directed towards anyone in particular. He then headed into his trailer without further comment.
Meanwhile, in another area of the infield pits, 51 caught up with a very surprised driver – and broke some unpleasant news to him inadvertently.
"I didn't think you (Speed51.com) were being serious when you told me," said Sieg. "We weren't even really that fast yesterday on old tires. We put on stickers to get to the top of the chart. I guess he brought tires from two years ago, and he's trying to use them up in practice. I knew we had a quick car, but what can you do?"
The entry list for the 41st Annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, dropped by one on Friday morning. The #5 Richie Wauters-owned team loaded up their Super Late Model to head back to their shops in Mooresville, North Carolina. It wasn't a wreck or a mechanical failure that ended their weekend early though. The team, along with driver Shane Sieg, will not race in the Derby because of something found by the technical inspection crew.
Late on Thursday, track officials discovered that the team was in possession of soaked tires. On Friday, head technical Inspector Ricky Brooks made the ruling that the team would be disqualified from all weekend activities and that the team would be escorted from the pit area.

Sieg then headed to the #5 transporter and met with the Wauters team.
Later, we did catch up with Wauters as he was pushing a tire cart through the pit area as part of the team's process of loading up. He still didn't want to discuss the situation…yet…but offered a little bit more this time.
"It ain't worth talking about," said Wauters. "They caught other people with soaked tires and didn't do nothing to them. Then they threw me out."
On Wednesday, the first day of technical inspection, there were in fact two teams that did originally fail technical inspection due to tire issues. Gary St. Amant and Stephan McCurley were those two drivers.
McCurley, who was the first driver in line to the tech station, was caught by the sniffer on a tire. McCurley said their ATV was just topped off with fuel and gas had spilled out of it onto the whole floor of their hauler. That got on the tires and that is what he said the sniffer caught. Further testing by the technical inspectors confirmed this scenario. McCurley was cleared and that set of tires was then released to his team to use.
"I wasn't in the driver's meeting," said Wauters. "That's another thing that need to do. If they are going to have a drivers' meeting like that, they need to call it a driver and crew chief meeting. They need to mandate that everyone goes over there and check everyone's name off a list. Just like NASCAR does."
In the Friday morning drivers' meeting, Brooks was even more direct.
"Unless you have stupid written on your forehead, what part of no tire soaks do you not understand?" Brooks said in the meeting.
Brooks also told teams that he will be walking around the pit area specifically to check for soaked tires today and emphasized a zero tolerance policy on the issue.
Meanwhile, Wauters was over in the frontstretch section of the pit area helping his team load their transporter. After having some time to think about the situation, he more than made up for his early silence on the issue by explaining his account of what had happened.

St. Amant told 51 that after wrecking out of last year's Derby, he had a bunch of unused tires. After a year of sitting, the tires get hard, so to make them softer and emulate current new-tire conditions, they softened up the tires. The team was only going to use the tires during the testing here at the track and not in racing conditions.
On Thursday morning, in the drivers' meeting, Brooks addressed the tire soaking issue in no uncertain terms – and threatened teams with some big sanctions if they chose to use any treated tires.
"Yesterday was on us," said Brooks in that meeting. "Today is on you guys. There will be absolutely no soaked tires on the property. Anyone caught having any soaked tires will be escorted right out of the track."
But Wauters didn't hear those words.
"I brought a set to the impound area to have them dismounted and stickers put on and they told them that I had soft tires," said Wauters. "So they came over here and I told them that I had several sets of soft tires, but they were all two lap scuffs from the year before. They weren't sticker tires. I wasn't hiding them. They were out in front of my truck in front of God and everyone. Everyone could see them. I wasn't trying to get away with anything; I wasn't trying to sneak tires through impound. I wasn't trying to set a land speed record. All that I was doing was trying to utilize the tires that I had bought last year.
"Every year, you always bring stickers or a couple of sets of soft tires because you don't know what it's going to do. We didn't bring stickers. I brought used tires.
"If I was trying to get away with something, I would have put them in the truck. I wouldn't have gone over there and asked them to mount sticker tires on. It was my error for bringing them back over there."
This marks the second straight year that Wauters has gone home with his team without racing in the Snowball Derby due to a technical inspection issue. In 2007, his entries for Kyle Busch and Steve Wallace was disqualified on the Saturday of the Snowball Derby. [Click here to revisit that story]
"My side of the whole deal is that they have a hard-on for me – no matter what I do or who I bring here," said Wauters. "I've got good cars and I don't need to cheat to win this race. We've won and run second three years in a row. I had some soft tires. They were old tires from last year because I didn't want to buy 15 sets of tires and give the tire truck more money. I went out for the very first practice with them and I was junk. I was 38th fastest. Everyone looked at the scoring monitor and could see that I was junk. Then we put on a set of sticker tires and I was second fastest in one session and fastest in the final session. They checked my tires both times and they were legal."
There are definitely some hard feelings after this incident as well.
First off, Wauters harbors some strong, ill feelings towards Brooks, whose "day" job is working for Super Late Model competitor Donald Long.
"I don't know how Ricky Brooks can be on Donald Long's payroll and then come here to tech the field. That's a conspiracy against the rest of the drivers. Who knows what the hell that Donald Long is getting away with or what kind of tires he has? That isn't right. No tech guy should be able to work for a race team and then come here to be the head tech guy. That is why he is the way that he is."
And finally, after two straight years of having tech problems, Wauters doesn't plan to return to the Snowball Derby next year to have a third year of problems.
"I'm done," said Wauters. "I'm filing a lawsuit now. I talked to my lawyer already and I'm going to take this as far as I can take this. If they throw one guy out, they need to throw everyone out who had soft tires."

This Day in History: China's Qing Dynasty UFO Incident of 1892
By Ned Kelly, September 28, 2020
On the 28th day of the 9th month in the 18th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign –1892 – a crowd gathered on Zhuque Bridge, near the Confucius temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu province to watch a burning ball cross the sky.
The Qing Dynasty scene was recorded by painter Wu Youru, whose 'Red Flame Soaring in the Sky' (赤焰騰空 'Chi Yan Teng Kong') is the first illustrated account of a UFO incident in China. The work has become a precious historical document for UFO researchers.
Wu Youru's 'Red Flame Soaring in the Sky' (赤焰騰空 'Chi Yan Teng Kong')
A translation of the 190-character description on the painting reads as follows:
"At 8 o'clock on the night of September 28, a bright red object appeared suddenly in the southern sky of Nanjing City.
Its shape resembled a gigantic egg and it was traveling slowly eastward. The object was clearly visible in the night sky. Hundreds of civilians were standing on Red Sparrow Bridge, jostling for a good view, standing on tip-toe, craning their necks upward.
It lingered for a period of a meal's time, fading into the distance little by little. Some said it was a meteor, but a meteor takes but an instant to slip away, while this ball's movement – from its first appearance in the near sky to the final disappearance in the distance – was quite stagnant. So it cannot have been a meteor.
Others said it was a lantern-kite that children flew. But the wind was blowing to the north that night while that object was heading east. So it cannot have been a lantern-kite either. For a time everybody spoke, but none could solve the mystery. None of the theories made sense.
An elderly man said, 'When it first arose, there was a slight noise which was hardly audible, like the buzzing approach of men darting across the South Gate. The sound was so soft that most people would have missed it.' He added that the object soared up into the sky from the southern outskirts of the city. It was so strange!"

I can't help but notice that I do write about my travels after it become a distant memory. I have tried several times to do this blog entry right after the trip, but why is it that every time I would, I had reminisced so much that I ended up daydreaming with nothing to put into words. A month had passed and only now that I can write all of these in one sitting. With face mask on and feet up the headboard, here's what went to my first ever visit to Europe!
I've been wanting to go to Europe for as long as I can remember but i didn't think that I'd be visiting Greece first. Probably because there are more mainstream destinations that the media fed us, or could also be because I was initially planning to tick some neighbouring Asian countries first before flying elsewhere.
If you're anything like me who fancies a lot of sightseeing and finding great eats around town, then Electra Palace is also for you! It is located in the heart of Plaka – the oldest district at Central Athens and arguably the most commercialised yet the nicest neighbourhood still.
A short walk away are the restaurants and shopping centres. My personal favourite was dining and sitting in at the tavernas. It breathes authentic Grecian culture and vibe.
I personally like to take home souvenirs especially from new places I'm visiting. I would recommend buying in Athens because the islands where we went next have tripled prices for the similar items.
As I was an Architecture student, I learned that infrastructures and its history says a lot about the country's identity. I am very much in awe that Greece is still preserving some of their most treasured sites which dates back since 421 BC.
If I were a history geek, Athens is most definitely the place to be. Did you know that they came first a thousand years before the Romans? The two civilisation both worshipped gods and goddesses but were very different with regards to beliefs and life values. Ancient Greeks focused on life on Earth and primarily on human's personality traits – such as Love, Honor, Dignity and Hatred. While Romans, on the other hand, were more focused on actions rather than words. They believed in life after death and even hoped to transcend into a god if they have done well enough in life through bravery and strength in fighting their respective battles.
Set in the heart of Mykonos town, this upscale minimalist hotel is worth every penny. A 100m downhill stroll and you are deep into the colourful town. Walking to your room from the lobby feels as if you are in a small greek village. It was smartly designed by not having much of a steep slope for the older people who would be checking-in. Best part is, their breakfast buffet which has a lot of food option to choose from is open from 6 to 11am – perfect for the not-so-morning persons.
Have I mentioned that it was still Spring when we went there in May? It was sunny but the wind was really cold! But hey, Mykonos is one of the most beautiful islands that I've seen during this season!
Flowers were blooming everywhere! Now that I've revisited my Mykonos photo album, I suddenly remembered how colourful this island was. It's such a beauty and the people were so warm and welcoming.
My boyfriend and I strolled a bit early during our 2nd Day in the island. We sipped on a hot chocolate and coffee in one of the tavernas facing the crystal clear waters of the beach. It was pure bliss people-watching while waves were gently crashing onto the shore and flock of birds repeatedly danced in the strong wind.
But to be fair, everything still went pretty smooth! There was a van that picked us up when we arrived in Santorini's port , which usually was the case during our entire trip anyway. We arrived at our hotel and WOOWW the view was too remarkable It could already be the destination itself!
Located in Fira village, Agali Houses is a 5 star accommodation boasting an awesome panoramic view of the Aegean Sea. Everything was perfect except for the fact that you have to climb up and down the stairs every now and then, which I guess is a normal scene in Santorini.
We soaked up some sun in the hotel's pool area while sippin' on our cocktails. Being there was more than just a breathe of fresh air. I couldn't put into words how stunning and serene Santorini was. Whoever started the trend of painting everything blue and white is a genius! 😀 There were a lot of scattered houses, busy hotels and establishments, but it did still look wonderfully organised because of the colour coordination.
After we had spent some time at the hotel, we then headed to Oia. It is perhaps the most popular of all villages in Santorini. It was about a 20 minute public bus ride from our hotel. I wish though I had taken the cliffside views while we were on our way, but unfortunately it was crowded that we had to remain standing the whole time.
The iconic Blue domed churches, jaw dropping sunset, narrow streets, charming and traditional houses with widely opened verandas are what Oia Village is composed of. Not to mention the picturesque view over the volcano of Palia and Nea Kameni and the island of Thirassia.
Trivia: Santorini is a group of islands located in the Southern Aegean Sea. It is actually an active volcano which happens to be a Caldera – A large volcanic craters that was formed by an explosive volcanic eruption. Its last explosion took place in 1950, and although asleep, it still shows numerous minor effusive eruptions.
I'd like to thank this whole crew for tagging me along to one of the most memorable trips I've had to date!
What do you think of Greece during Spring? Considering that there are other 224 inhabited Greek islands, which would you prefer visiting?

BEIJING - The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Farming and Supplies has authorized twenty four Chinese Aquacultural companies to sell their products in Brazil, according to the Department of Certification and Accreditation in Beijing on Monday.
A department spokesperson said that the Chinese companies, 19 of which are from Shandong province, and the remaining five from Liaoning province, can start exporting to Brazil immediately.
Brazil is currently the only country in Latin America to accept aquaculture products from China.
In 2006 exports of aquaculture products from China rose 18.7 percent to US$9.36 billion and imports rose 4.4 percent to US$4.3 billion, generating a trade surplus for this category of US$5.06 billion, or an annual growth rate of 34.3 percent.

A strong password is essential to keeping your SAM database secure. We recommend using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords, so even you don't have to remember what it is.
Additionally, we recommend you change your SAM password every six months or less. Call us paranoid, but data security is something of an obsession of ours.
SAM will prompt you to enter your current password and then enter your new password twice.
Hit "Save" and you are good to go!
A strong password contains over 6 characters, several symbols, and no ties to your personal informatino (such as your name, birth year, child or pet's names, etc).
By injecting numbers and special characters instead of letters, this password will take exponentially longer for a dictionary program to guess.
Strong passwords can be difficult to remember, which is why we're often tempted to use the same one over and over again. This is a serious security risk - if one site that uses that password is hacked, an attacker could potentially use it to login to your SAM site.


Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.'s final album, Life After Death.
While fans are reminiscing over the classic, Diddy has also decided to get a bit nostalgic and dig into his vault of previously untold stories. During an appearance on RevoltTV, the mogul shared the interesting detail that he and Big once approached none other than Prince to appear on the project.
Unfortunately, the Purple One never made it to any of the double disc's 24 tracks, save for some samples, but it does make for an incredible "what-if" moment.
During the sit-down, Diddy shared that while Prince never delivered a full-fledged feature, he was supportive of the overall mission.
"We met with Prince," Diddy begins. "We did the thing ('This Time Around') with Michael Jackson, and me and [Biggie] was always Prince fans and stuff like that. But this was during a time when Prince wasn't really rocking with hip-hop and wasn't really clearing any samples, so that really didn't go too well. But we was always still cool with him and wound up sampling some of his records and he wound up not chasing me for them in the future."
He then talked about how despite never collaborating with Biggie formally, at the end of the day, Prince was a fan and didn't shy away from offering his concern regarding some of hip-hop's profanity.
"He would just go through his phases and he came back to us and just let us know how proud he was of us and the whole thing," Diddy explained. "He was just really protective at one time of just what was going on as far as the whole 'b***h' and 'h*e' controversy. That was a real moment in hip-hop. That was a real reflection point in hip-hop where we were being kind of asked to take responsibility and think about what we were saying."
Take a look at Diddy reflecting on the making of the late legend's last album in the clips below.

Q: reduce price by on AWS (EC2 and spot instances) I have a queue of jobs and running AWS EC2 instances which process the jobs. We have an AutoScaling groups for each c4.* instance type in spot and on-demand version.
Each instance has power which is a number equal to number of instances CPUs. (for example c4.large has power=2 since it has 2 CPUs).
The the exact power we need is simply calculated from the number of jobs in the queue.
I would like to implement an algorithm which would periodically check the number of jobs in the queue and change the desired value of the particular AutoScaling groups by AWS SDK to save as much money as possible and maintain the total power of instances to keep jobs processed.
Especially:

*

*I prefer spot instances to on-demand since they are cheaper

*EC2 instances are charged per hour, we would like to turn off the instance only at the very last minute of its 1hour uptime.

*We would like to replace on-demand instance by spot instances when possible. So, at 55min increase spot-group, at 58 check the new spot instance is running and if yes, decrease on-demand-group.

*We would like to replace spot instances by on-demand if the bid would be too high. Just turn off the on-demand one and turn on the spot one.

Seems the problem is really difficult to handle. Anybody have any experience or a similar solution implemented?

A: You could certainly write your own code to do this, effectively telling your Auto Scaling groups when to add/remove instances.
Also, please note that a good strategy for lowering costs with Spot Instances is to appreciate that the price for a spot instance varies by:

*

*Region

*Availability Zone

*Instance Type

So, if the spot price for a c4.xlarge goes up in one AZ, it might still be the same cost in another AZ. Also, the price of a c4.2xlarge might then be lower than a c4.xlarge, with twice the power.
Therefore, you should aim to diversity your spot instances across multiple AZs and multiple instance types. This means that spot price changes will impact only a small portion of your fleet rather than all at once.
You could use Spot Fleet to assist with this, or even third-party products such as SpotInst.
It's also worth looking at AWS Batch (not currently available in every region), which is designed to intelligently provide capacity for batch jobs.

A: Autoscaling groups allow you to use alarms and metrics that are defined outside of the autoscaling group.
If you are using SNS, you should be able to set up an alarm on your SNS queue and use that to scale up and scale down your scaling group.
If you are using a custom queue system, you can push metrics to cloudwatch to create a similar alarm.
You can determine how often scaling actions do occur, but it may be difficult to get the run time to exactly one hour.

The geographical focus of its IP strategy is also shifting to Asia and Latin America – a trend reflected in its patent application statistics and in the new R&D centres it has opened up in Shanghai and Sao Paulo, which will partner with universities and other local institutions to develop technologies that best meet regional infrastructure needs. As the company shifts its focus towards infrastructure, the IP team is eyeing creative ways to continue creating value with its wealth of electronics patents.


Discussion in 'Camping and Hiking' started by BurnedOutGeek, Dec 24, 2016.
This year I spent my coldest night in a hammock. 22 degrees.
Was surprised how comfortable I slept.
Bit of a funny story... fell asleep all toasty warm, woke up at about sunrise -4 iirc with it snowing inside my tarp from the condensation just from breathing.
It only sucked having get out of being all burrowed in down goodness.
I spent last Saturday night at a retreat with some other fellas. I slept in my hammock outside, they bunked in a cabin.
It was 27 degrees according to my phone but I was toasty warm.
You guys aren't using the REI UriCat™ urinary catheter system?
Bringing it to the Morris Family BBQ?
I don't camp out for those.
You just mad you got up to crap and could not preform!!!
So after water, food and misc, should be around 20lbs for a 3 day hike.

Ok, I have to admit I got the hammock bug/illnes.
Around Thanksgiving I tried my son's eno for an afternoon nap, was so comfortable I decided to sleep outside in it overnight. I "camped out" in his a bunch up until Christmas when I got an eno double of my own, a bugnet, camp pillow, Onetigres UQ and pack rain cover from Santa. At the moment I am using a 10'x12' camouflage poly tarp drawn down tight with door flaps.
Now with my own gear I sleep out 3-4 nights a week as my wife allows. Between my bad back, her snoring and my insomnia sleeping out has really been a blessing. Coldest so far was 23, no problem at all. We had a few nights in the hi 50's and I was already wishing it was colder again, that doesn't bode well for the summer hammock season for me.
I know what I have is crap to the cottage, gram counting, hammock hiking purest but for the time being I sleep very well and am learning a lot. My intention is to make a bunch of my own stuff. I have a sewing machine and I'm not afraid to use it.

I have resisted the Dutch so far. I did purchase a Hang time hook from him and managed to check out with nothing else in my cart after having about $125 worth of crack in it.
I just ordered another cheap underquilt, this time a cottage industry one from Hang tight shop on etsy. I needed another one as the wife is supposed to hang with me at the bbq and then we will head off to some unimproved NF camping while we are "up north".
I'm a couple of weeks in with the Hang Tight underquilt from etsy. Best money I have spent on camping type stuff so far. It is super light, wicked packable, easy attachment and adjustment and plenty warm.
We are out in hammocks at Badin Lake tonight. Frost warnings just mean good sleeping.
I did enjoy being in mine this past weekend. Gonna try to do that more from now on.

2023: I will not impose my successor on Rivers – Wike
By John Ogunsemore On Dec 2, 2021
Wike
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers on Thursday said he would not impose any governorship aspirant of his choice on the people of Rivers come 2023.
Wike gave the assurance in a statement issued by Mr Kelvin Ebiri, his Special Assistant on Media, in Port Harcourt.
He assured that the leadership of the party would meet to decide who to support at the appropriate time.
Wike however said that he is obliged to ensure that Peoples Democratic Part (PDP) wins the 2023 governorship election in Rivers.

"One mistake I will not make is to impose somebody. From my experience as a student of history, reality has shown that it is difficult for you to say Joseph is the man I can trust.
"Until you give somebody power and money, that is only when you will know whether that person is trustworthy or not," he said.
Wike stated that God would not allow someone who will destroy all the remarkable progress the state had made over the years to be the next governor.
"God will ensure that it is only someone who is courageous, firm and ready to protect the interest of Rivers that will succeed me.
"Rivers is a state that so many people have interest in. It is a state that you have to put your feet on the ground. It is a state that you have to annoy a lot of Nigerians and a lot of Nigerians will hate you.
"But what is important is for you to know is what is good for your people and stand for your people. Do not allow personal interest to sway you against the interest of your people," Wike stated.

The terms "morals" and "ethics" get mixed together a lot, but it's useful to make a clear distinction: let's say that our direct apprehension of good and bad, right and wrong, is "moral," and our customary practice in accordance with this sense of things is our "morality," while "ethics" reflects on morality critically and systematizes it into general truths or rules, trying to solve the problems morality raises. This means that in the classroom, or indeed in any open rational discussion, "morality" always turns into "ethics." Still, ethics always depends on morality. If people didn't already have moral attitudes and patterns of conduct, how could an ethical conclusion ever be convincing?
Let's say further that "religion" refers not just to one religion, like Christianity or Hinduism, but rather to recognizably similar basic situations, experiences, practices, and beliefs that appear in all the traditions we recognize as "religions." We hope to learn more about what all this consists of, but at least we know at the start that we have rich resources for study in the existing religious traditions.
Because we will be examining our own moral and religious commitments, this course has serious life-changing potential and I want to encourage you in all possible ways to take advantage of this opportunity for personal growth, not to treat the course purely as an academic cultural study. You will articulate your beliefs and your new insights in a personal journal and in communications with partners. You will have challenging realtime give-and-take with other moral thinkers both inside and outside the classroom, learning more about how to be a fellow-agent in a moral community. Don=t expect instant and total enlightenment—but do expect some dawnings of awareness.
Grading will be based on short writings (20%), a take-home midterm exam (15%), a 3,000‑word moral problem investigation (30%), a take-home final exam (25%), and class participation (10%).
Note: we will also screen one or more movies at times TBA.
I ask you to keep a personal journal of your thoughts throughout the course. There will be intervals in class to write in it along with any other times that are available to you. The journal itself is private, but you will be invited to draw on it in communicating your thoughts to others.
When you highlight or make notes on your reading, and when you write in your journal, you will be reacting to moral appeals. In listening to moral appeals I suggest you be especially attentive to bells going off in your mind. Two kinds of bells to listen for are: (1) warning bells, by which I mean signals that something has gone wrong in moral feeling or arguing, and (2) dinner bells, if that=s not too goofy an image, by which I mean signals of what is truly sustaining (to the hungry, how sweet the sound of the dinner bell!). Keep trying to say what=s wrong and what=s right in the moral appeals of our world; and keep testing your conclusions. Of course, your negative and positive assessments of moral appeals will always be provisional. Your views may change. I hope they broaden and deepen.
Once a week, most weeks, you will exchange written communiqués with another class member about your negative and positive insights (the warning bells and dinner bells) in that segment of the course. Here what is interesting is not only what you are picking up in the way of course content, but how you express your judgments to another agent who you can not assume is coming from the same place you are. I'm inviting you to notice how your own toolkit of moral and religious expressions works, and how someone else's works also. I'm inviting you to find out how two people can advance moral analysis together as a team, not necessarily by agreeing.
I'll assign the teams after consultation. (We'll redo the assignments at mid-semester.) I'll want to see copies of all correspondence each week. The easiest way to handle it is entirely by e-mail, copying me on everything. Deadlines will be announced in class.
Your weekly communiqué ought to be at least the equivalent of a typed page, i.e. two or three substantial paragraphs. There's no upper limit, but don't get too carried away.
Definition of the problem. By the end of your introductory paragraph, the reader should know what moral issue you are addressing in your paper. It should be an issue that you care about and that is worth everyone's wrestling with. By the end of your second paragraph, if not the first, the reader should begin to see how the religious background of the issue is significant and possibly contentious also.
The real world component. In this section of your paper you will distill the highlights of your encounter with someone outside the class who is practically engaged in the problem (in the case of abortion, someone who does abortion counseling, for example). You will learn how that person relates his or her own moral judgments to his or her actions in this area. You will explain how that person=s ideas and rhetoric relate to the more academic considerations you've introduced in your study.
Your recommendation. Don't worry: you don't have to solve all the problems in your area. But you've written an ethical analysis paper and this paper should shed some specific new light on the problem for your audience.
Remember to be reasonable. Don't dogmatize, and don't simply state an opinion.
One percent of the course grade will be lost for each absence from class for any reason, beginning with the third absence. (For example, someone who missed class 7 times would thereby lose 5% of the course grade, or half a letter grade.) The reason for this: our in‑class work is a crucial and irreplaceable part of the substance of the course.
As a general rule, no e-mail submissions. Unless the instructor allows it under specified circumstances (as with the weekly communiqués), e-mail submissions of assigned writing are not accepted.
Plagiarism. Using the words or ideas of others without acknowledgment—that is, passing them off as your own—is a fraudulent practice called plagiarism. Plagiarized work will receive no credit and will be referred to the college Honor Council.

IP Waiver for COVID-19 Vaccines: What the United States' Support Means in Practice
By David W. Heck & Baldassare Vinti on June 22, 2021
Posted in Biopharmaceuticals, Therapeutics
On May 5, 2021, the Biden Administration announced its support for waiving intellectual property protections for COVID-19 vaccines. Understandably, the news made headlines and stirred passionate reactions from the medical community and IP holders alike. But actually bringing about that waiver will be a complicated process, and one that depends on many countries and parties besides the United States.
The text of the Administration's announcement shows that waiving international IP protections will be easier said than done:
The Administration believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines. We will actively participate in text-based negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) needed to make that happen. Those negotiations will take time given the consensus-based nature of the institution and the complexity of the issues involved.
In other words, it is the WTO as a whole that must effectuate an IP waiver. And given that WTO decisions are made by unanimous agreement of its 164-country membership without any formal vote, that process will require far more than support from the United States, as dissent from any one country on the terms of a waiver would block the initiative.
To be a member of the WTO, countries must agree to the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (known commonly as the TRIPS Agreement). That agreement contains a minimum set of standards by which each country must abide with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and other forms of intellectual property. Thus, in order to waive IP protection for COVID-19 vaccines, the provisions of the TRIPS Agreement must be superseded. While the TRIPS Agreement provides that "Members may, in formulating or amending their laws and regulations, adopt measures necessary to protect public health and nutrition," it adds that this may be done only if "such measures are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement."
The endeavor to waive IP rights started before the United States' announcement. In October 2020—before any vaccines had even been approved—India and South Africa made a proposal to the WTO's TRIPS Council for the waiver of intellectual property rights related to the prevention, containment or treatment of COVID-19. Specifically, they sought waiver of protections for copyright (Part II, Section 1 of the TRIPS Agreement), industrial design (Part II, Section 4), patents (Part II, Section 5), and trade secrets (Part II, Section 7), as well as enforcement mechanisms under Part III. Per the terms of the proposal, member countries would not be obligated to implement, apply or enforce the foregoing protections with respect to COVID-19 prevention, containment or treatment. In other words, member countries could choose not to enforce IP rights against vaccine manufacturers who would otherwise be infringing on those rights. The scope of the proposal underscores the myriad IP rights that could conceivably be waived in order for COVID-19 vaccines to be made by additional manufacturers.
While more than 100 countries have voiced support for IP waivers generally, they have yet to express agreement on the scope and the duration of those waivers. Sixty-two countries—including India and South Africa—submitted a revised proposal on May 21, 2021 that would limit the duration of waivers to three years, after which the WTO's General Council would "review the existence of the exceptional circumstances justifying the waiver."
Numerous countries have voiced opposition to these proposals. Shortly after the United States' announcement, Germany rejected the proposition of a waiver, stating: "The protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future." The German company BioNTech partnered with Pfizer on development of its vaccine and expects $11.5 billion in vaccine revenue from supply contracts already signed. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has stated that the European Union is open to a discussion, but that waiver of IP "is not a topic for the short term or medium term." And G20 countries signed onto a May 21 "Rome Declaration" affirming that member countries should take measures against COVID-19 while "working consistently within the TRIPS agreement." Notably, the signatories included U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
Even if sufficient waivers were implemented, that would not guarantee speedy production and distribution of vaccines. Production requires many highly technical processes and detailed know-how, regardless of whether IP restrictions are in place, and Non-IP holding manufacturers may not be in a position to take advantage of a waiver. Moderna may be a case in point. It vowed in October 2020 that it would "not enforce our COVID-19 related patents against those making vaccines intended to combat the pandemic," and that it would license IP for COVID-19 vaccines to others for the post pandemic period. Yet, there has been no report from Moderna that any companies have taken advantage of that opportunity.
Given the above considerations, there will be two important aspects of IP waivers to watch over the coming weeks and months. The first is the negotiation among WTO member countries about the scope of IP waivers, and whether those negotiations can proceed fast enough to have an impact on vaccine availability. The second is whether, in addition to waivers, IP holders will actively support new manufacturers with respect to vaccine production, and whether that could or would be legislated by the WTO. These are uncharted waters with respect to international IP rights, not only for COVID-19 vaccines, but potentially for many other life-saving medicines.

Every house has mold. An old house has mold because it is old and the modern new house have mold because it is made in a way that does not allow the inside air to get outside. This house is called an energy efficient house.
1 Why Should You Buy an Air Purifier for Mold?
3 What Type of Mold Do You Have In Your Home?
5 Do Air Purifiers Eliminate Mold?
6 What is the Best Air Purifier for Mold?
Problem is when the air is not flowing the moisture may accumulate in the house, and the humidity is the number one factor for the mold grow. The only thing you can do is to use the best air purifier for mold, dehumidifier or just open windows and keep them open for most of the day. Now the last option is not recommended if you are living in polluted zones, big cities or in the area that is known by its pollution. After all, the first step to proper health is breathing fresh air and most certainly the air without mold spores.
Why Should You Buy an Air Purifier for Mold?
Most types of mold are not directly hazardous to humans, but some types are extremely dangerous and must be treated immediately. Don't panic, if you see mold, there is a high chance it is a harmless mold that is not going to harm you. However, you should know that mold releases mold spores which may be inhaled and then you can have some kind of respiratory problems, like minor infection or if you are allergic to mold spores you can even have an allergic reaction. I would say buying an air purifier for mold spores is an excellent way to keep your health in order. If you are allergic to mold spores, you should definitely buy an air purifier for mold and a maybe even dehumidifier to keep the moisture in the house on the proper level. Without moisture, mold growing will be slow and with time mold will vanish on its own.
If you decided that you do need an air purifier to fight mold, then this list of best air purifiers for mold may help you pick the best one for your home.
IQAir is professionally made air purifier that has enormous power in air filtration. This is not small air purifier, and you will need to find a proper place in the houses to place this powerful machine. The most important feature of this device is patented HyperHEPA filter which is 100 times more potent than the standard HEPA filter. Because of such performance, this air purifier is often used in hospitals.
HealthPro Plus is powerful to eliminate small particles, including mold spores and even viruses. With such property, this device is highly recommended to the people who suffer from allergies. The good news is that this large size air purifier is not using much power, in fact, it uses less energy than the old bulb. The only problem with this air purifier for mold is the price, IQAir HealthPro Plus is professional air purifier made with high-quality material and patented technology, and because of that, the price is a little bit higher than usual.
HyperHEPA Patented HyperHEPA® filtration up to 100X more effective than standard HEPA.
Blueair Classic 405 performance is also high, the company implemented patented technology for high filtration performance. Patented HEPASilent technology is what makes this air purifier one of the most wanted to combat mold spores. The secret in this patented technology is the electrical charge that is released to the airborne particles during the process of filtration. When airborne particles are charged, they are caught inside the filter much easier and at a higher rate.
With Blueair Classic 405 you will sure reduce mold in your home, but at the same time, you will keep all other unwanted particles from the air. This device is energy star efficient and will not make your energy bill go up. It is also compatible with ALEXA which means you can control it with an app by using your voice. The design is maybe not modern and futuristic, but the performance and usage are.
Particle Elimination Designed to capture even the smallest particles, the Blueair Classic series captures pet dander, dust, mold and pollen so the only thing that you breathe is clean air.
Wi-Fi Enabled / Alexa Wi-Fi enabled for total control via the Blueair Friend app. Change fan speed, turn On/Off, set child lock, and schedule settings in night mode, such as dimming the LED at bedtime. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and IFTTT.
Another expensive but at the same time, powerful air purifier for mold is coming from Austin Air. Austin Air is a well-known company that is doing business in air filtration technology. Healthmate HM400 is one of their best products. An air purifier capable of removing all airborne particles larger than 0.3 microns which means that mold spores will be caught too. The secret behind this air purifier is medical grade True HEPA filter.
Austin Air Standard Healthmate HM400 uses a four-stage filtration system which means no mold spores will get away. An exciting feature of this air purifier is a powerful carbon filter in combination with zeolite filter that has the power to remove gases, chemicals, and bad odor at a fast rate. HM400 is ideal for patients that have a weak immune system, respiratory problems or are just allergic to small particles.
Just like previously mentioned air purifiers, this one is also expensive, and not everyone can afford it.
A little bit different and more affordable solution to fight mold spores is Winix 5300-2. This air purifier uses three-stage filtration. It uses True HEPA filter, carbon filter, and PlasmaWave Technology. As already many times said before, True HEPA filter is a powerful filter that can remove 99.97% of airborne particles. But the big thing that this air purifier brings to the table is actually PlasmaWave Technology. PlasmaWave Technology works just like ion generators, but without making harmful ozone.
Other than the advanced technology this air purifier has smart sensors that monitor air, filter indicators that will let you know when to change filters and many other fancy features that may be useful to you. Winix provides clean air for over 40 years, and that just proves that they know how to do the job. Winix 5300-2 is an affordable air purifier, and I am sure anyone can afford one. This air purifier is an excellent choice for fighting mold if you are on the budget.
This model does not have a remote controller.
AP-1512HH is one of the best air purifiers in 2018. The reason behind that statement is a powerful four-stage filtration system. Coway air purifier uses washable pre-filter, odor filter, True HEPA filter, and vital ionizer. Vital ionizer is the last line of defense which makes sure that everything that is catchable is caught. Coway also put lots of work into display and options. On the display screen, you can see air quality and filter change lamp.
Coway AP-1512HH is working silently and because of that is an ideal solution for the bedroom. The air purifier can work all night and thanks to the low energy consumption you will not notice any extra expenses. An air purifier is consuming 4.9 to 77.8 W, depending on the working mode. On the eco mode, an air purifier will consume very little energy. Or if you like to run it automatically, the air purifier can be put in auto mode and adjust speed according to the air quality in the room.
Air Quality Indicator Coway's pollution sensor communicates indoor air quality in real-time. The colored LED lets you know how clean or dirty your indoor air is every minute of the day.
Timer The timer lets you schedule 1/4/8/12 hours of operation so you can set the unit for as long as you need to use it.
Price may be a problem here, but on this list of the best air purifier of mold, there are even more expensive air purifiers than this one.
Alen BreatheSmart is one of the most powerful air purifiers ever built. This air purifier is capable of filtering air in extremely large rooms. 1100 square feet room presents no problem to this air purifier. When you put this air purifier in a smaller room than 1100 square feet, you will notice incoming fresh air in a second. Whole filtration process can be run automatically because Alen BreatheSmart uses advanced sensors that monitor air quality in the room. As soon as the air quality drops the air purifier will start filtering and in no time will bring the air quality on the desired level.
I can say that this air purifier is one of the best air purifiers for mold and bacteria. It is powerful, efficient at filtration and uses silver coated HEPA filter with the antimicrobial coat. The antimicrobial coat guarantees that no fungi, mold or bacteria will grow on the filters. Alen company also guarantees the performance of the air purifier forever which means you can relax and enjoy fresh air for a lifetime.

The Alen BreatheSmart's powerful fan blows a jet of pure air up to the ceiling where it spreads out across the room before returning to the air purifier, drawing particles to be filtered with it.
BreatheSmart FIT50 by Alen uses the same technology as the classic model. It uses the same technology to filter air, it uses the same sensors to detect airborne particles, and it is just as pretty as the classic model. FIT50 also has whisper quiet technology that allows you to run this air purifier during bedtime without disturbing your sleep.
FIT50 is also recommended to people who suffer from allergies, but this device is also a great tool in a fight with mold. By capturing mold spores on a regular basis, the mold will eventually be eliminated. This Alen BreatheSmart model can also be run in an auto mode in which it uses sensors to detect air quality and according to the air quality will work with higher or lower speed. In other words, you don't need to bother with the air purifier, you just turn it on and let it do its job. FIT50 also have air quality indicators as well as filter indicators. It will tell you when the air is bad and when you need to change filters.

It contains a large carbon filter which gives the air purifier ability to remove bad odors rapidly.
PlasmaTRUE Technology Creates an ionized field to help safely remove airborne pollutants.
The size may be a problem for a small room.
What Type of Mold Do You Have In Your Home?
If you leave moisture accumulating in your home, you will sooner or later have mold. But there are houses without mold, clean, dry homes with an air purifier are free from mold. Those homes that do have mold are having one of the three types of mold: allergenic, pathogenic or toxic mold.
Allergenic mold is the most common mold in the house. A healthy individual who has no problems with asthma or allergies will not have any consequences by breathing allergenic mold. But kids, older people or ill people may have allergic symptoms.
Just by reading word pathogenic you know that this type of mold is dangerous and may attack your immune system. Healthy people with the good immune system will not be under danger, but anyone else can have serious problems. Because of that, it is highly critical to remove this kind of mold from your home.
This mold is the most dangerous mold. It looks like a large black spot on the wall and most of the time is like gelatin, but if the water source has dry up, then it may look like powder. Detecting black mold is hard and impossible on your own, you can try to smell it, and if you smell a strong earthy smell, then there is a chance that that mold is actually the infamous black mold. If you think you have black mold, don't touch it and call the professional company that removes mold.
As mentioned above this is the black mold. Unfortunately, this type of mold is common in the home and if you suspect you have this type of mold call the removal service immediately. Do not play with this mold because it can cause severe problems for your health.
It is an allergenic type of mold which can irritate your hose and mouth as well as cause allergic reaction if you are allergic to mold.
Penicillium is also dangerous mold which can also create toxins. Commonplace to grow is carpet, fiberglass, and wallpapers. It can cause an asthma attack.
This mold can cause respiratory problems as well as allergic reactions. Fusarium likes cold dark places.
Ulocladium can grow inside and outside the house. It requires a lot of, and because of that, it may be found in the bathroom or cellar. It can cause allergic reactions and respiratory infections.
Trichoderma produces mycotoxins which put it on the list of most dangerous molds. It requires the damp, dark area to grow and because of that in homes is found in the cellar, very rarely in other rooms that are dry and have more light than the cellar.
Do Air Purifiers Eliminate Mold?
Any air purifier will remove mold. The only question is how successful an air purifier is. Strong, powerful patented HEPA filters are found the best practice for removing mold spores from the air. If you remove all mold spores from the air, then mold cannot grow and eventually it will die. If you wipe the mold from the wall, there is still concern about floating mold spores in the air, because of that it is highly essential to use an air purifier to remove that mold spores and prevent the mold from growing back or even spreading across the house.
Only HEPA filters are capable of removing mold spores because of the tiny size of the mold spore. Make sure if you are buying an air purifier for mold to have HEPA filter.
What is the Best Air Purifier for Mold?
For the best air purifier for mold you need to look at the size of the air purifier, its performance and most importantly it needs to have a HEPA filter. The better the HEPA filter, the more powerful will air purifier be in the combat with mold. By checking the air purifiers for the mold in the list above you can tell without a doubt that the best air purifier for mold is Alen BreatheSmart. Alen BreatheSmart uses patented advanced technology HEPA filter, and because of that technology, it is an ideal choice to combat mold. Alen BreatheSmart is also powerful and made for big rooms. If it can filter a big room, then you can be sure that the filtration in smaller rooms will be even more efficient. Alen BreatheSmart is designed to combat bacteria and mold, and because of that, it is an ideal choice to fight mold. Even hospitals around the world are using this air purifier to keep the air in the room sterile.
If for some reason Alen BreatheSmart is out of the reach for your pocket then you should look at the AeraMax 300. AeraMax 300 is maybe not dominant like the Alen BreatheSmart, but it has extremely good HEPA filter which will for sure destroy mold spores. Maybe AeraMax 300 will not be fast at removing mold spores like it is Alen BreatheSmart, but that is the price you pay.
Now you have all you need to buy a perfect air purifier for mold. All you need to do is to pick one air purifier from the list above, and I am sure this air purifier will help you in your fight with mold. My suggestion is to pick one of the Alen BreatheSmart models, but if they are too expensive, there are other less expensive models on the list. Anyone can afford a good air purifier for the mold.
