A fat loss program is fruitful only when it consist a sensible planned diet and regular workout. The diet for fat loss should contain adequate nutrients our body needs. It should be such that it maintains the balance between the energy generation and energy expenditure. The following are some of the chief components of our routine diet: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
Carbohydrates: They are known as the fuel of the body furnace. They are available in two forms: sugar and starch. Their only function is to generate heat in the body. They lacks in all the other nutrients that are required for the nourishment of the body. There is always a possibility of excess consumption of carbohydrates as they are cheap and easily available. When the food intake is in excess, coupled with the lack of physical activity, obesity may develop in such circumstances.
The metabolism of a fat person is not able to deal properly with the carbohydrates which are not therefore burnt away fully. The residue gets deposited as fat in the body. Carbohydrates are, thus, the greatest enemy of a fat person.
Sources: Grains, edible roots, sugar, jaggery and fruits like banana.
Proteins: They are substances that build our body. They contain an important element called nitrogen. For maintaining the health and the efficiency of the body nitrogen balance is very essential. Without protein the body cannot produce the necessary enzymes and hormones for the exchange of energy.
The importance of proteins lies in their high specific dynamic action. They expedite the metabolism which in turn burns away that food which is in excess of actual requirements. This high specific dynamic action of the protein controls the excess appetite and curbs the tendency to eat frequently. They also play an important role in draining away the excess fluid from the body. In short, for a fat person, if the carbohydrates are like a poison, the proteins are like nectar. Obesity is an indication of protein deficiency on the body.
Proteins are divided into two categories: vegetable protein and animal protein. Each of them has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages. Generally, the animal protein is considered to be of superior quality. However, vegetable protein is mixing of some pulses.
Sources: Milk, buttermilk, curd, pulses, cereals, fish, meat, eggs, etc.
Fats: They too perform the function of generating heat and energy in the body. Whenever excess food is consumed, it is transformed into fat and gets deposited. Fat is, thus the accumulated or stored energy in the body, which can afterwards be utilized as and when required. The fats protect the body against cold. They fill up all the vacant spaces between the body cells and make the movements of the joints smooth by lubricating them. They are an essential ingredient for the human body.
Vitamins 'A', 'D', 'E' and 'K' are soluble only in the fats. These vitamins are absorbed in the body only after they are synthesized in the fats. If the diet does not contain adequate quantity of fats, diseases caused by the deficiency of the above mentioned vitamins may develop.
Vitamins: They are organic substances necessary, in small quantities, for proper health, efficiency and optimum metabolism in the body. They are essential for growth, for formation of bones and teeth, for vigor, for proper functioning of bones and teeth, for proper functioning of various internal organs and for longer life. They also supply the body with vitality and resistance power against disease. Diseases like beriberi, scurvy, rickets, etc. are caused by vitamin deficiencies.
Heating or cooking, more or less destroy vitamins and therefore it is advisable to eat raw vegetables and uncooked food.
Minerals: They too are as important as vitamins for the human body. They are essential for various purposes such as, for smooth functioning of various systems in the body, for the muscle tone, for maintaining regular heartbeats, for the free movements of blood and fluids in the antacids in the body and for a host of other important functions.
Of the many minerals, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, iron, magnesium, chlorine and iodine are more important for our body.

In this lab, you will implement a release progression process that utilizes git events as the primary workflow. Using git to manage the process allows organizations to move many of the stage gates and checks towards the development team. While this practice is a core concept in the popular gitops practices, git-based workflows can be used with traditional imperative as well as gitops oriented declarative processes.

## Objectives
- Review lifecycle variations
- Create commit & tag triggers
- Initiate a release
- Approve a release

Click **Start** to begin the lab.

## Prerequisites

This lab assumes you have already cloned the main repository and are starting in the `delivery-platform/` folder.

This lab also assumes you are continuing from the previous lab and should still have the hello-web app in your workdir.

### Setup your environment

<walkthrough-project-setup></walkthrough-project-setup>

Execute the following command to set your project and local environment variables

```bash
gcloud config set project {{project-id}}
source ./env.sh
export APP_NAME=hello-web
```

## CI/CD Models and Workflows

### Source control models
There are many models for how exactly to structure your branches and releases. This lab follows a model similar to how Google manages code, but the techniques can be applied to any model.

At Google, software engineers create a branch for small updates to the code base. These changes are then submitted for validation and review as a ChangeList (CL). The CL process runs automated tests as well as requiring approval by code owners. Once approved, the code is automatically integrated into the main code base, and is a candidate to be deployed in the next release. Change management for a production release is handled through a separate process, but once approved the code is pulled from the main line.

To approximate this model in Git, this lab assumes the following model:

* Tags represent production releases.
* The Main branch represents code ready for production, or "staged" for production.
* Any development efforts are handled on branches other than Main.

The PR process in most Git providers allows you to implement your own review processes. Many providers allow you to restrict which users are allowed to perform actions on the various branches and tags, which can be used for separation of concerns.

### Git events for workflow
A central part of any CI/CD system utilizes git events as the trigger for continuous processes.

This lab is currently triggered by events from pushes to branches as well as the creation of new tags.

Click **Next** to begin reviewing the implementation.

## Review what Onboarding setup

Earlier, you created an application using the scripts provided on this platform. In that process, a few key elements were set up for your application to enable the workflow in this lab.

### Webhooks
Whenever events occur within your provider, the events can trigger a request to an external endpoint called a webhook. A webhook was created and configured for your `hello-web` application during the onboard process. You can review it in the settings section of your repository.

Execute the following command to generate a link to that location in your project.

```bash
echo $GIT_BASE_URL/$APP_NAME/settings/hooks
```
Copy the value and paste it into a new browser tab to review the webhook on your application repo.

### Triggers

The webhook is configured to call an endpoint with details about the event that occurred. The onboarding script created an endpoint in Google Cloud to accept these webhook requests.

Review the trigger setup for your application in Cloud Build with the link below
#### If you chose ACM as continuous delivery platform:
[https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/triggers/edit/hello-web-webhook-trigger](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/triggers/edit/hello-web-webhook-trigger)
#### If you chose Clouddeploy as continuous delivery platform:
[https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/triggers/edit/hello-web-webhook-trigger](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/triggers/edit/hello-web-clouddeploy-webhook-trigger)

### Workflow Configuration
#### If you chose ACM as continuous delivery platform
The webhook endpoint triggers a Cloud Build job that executes a workflow defined in a `cloudbuild.yaml` file. The cloud build implementation includes steps to clone the repo, build and push an image, hydrate resources, and finally deploy the assets to the appropriate environment.

Review the `cloudbuild.yaml` in your `hello-web` project
<walkthrough-editor-open-file filePath="delivery-platform/workdir/hello-web/build/cloudbuild.yaml">
Click here to open cloudbuild.yaml
</walkthrough-editor-open-file>

#### If you chose Clouddeploy as continuous delivery platform
The webhook endpoint triggers a Cloud Build job that executes a workflow defined in a `cloudbuild-cd.yaml` file. The cloud build implementation includes steps to clone the repo, build and push an image, and finally create pipelines for deployment in stage and prod.

Review the `cloudbuild-cd.yaml` in your `hello-web` project
<walkthrough-editor-open-file filePath="delivery-platform/workdir/hello-web/build/cloudbuild-cd.yaml">
Click here to open cloudbuild-cd.yaml
</walkthrough-editor-open-file>

### View Initial Deployment
During the onboarding process, the workflow was exercised for the first time to create an initial deployment for your application. You can see your application running from the GKE Workloads page:

Note: If you chose Clouddeploy as delivery system, the pipelines created in previous steps automatically runs in its first target which is stage and completes the deployment.
[Cick here to view the deployment](https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/workload)

Now since these services are not exposed publicly, you'll need to create a tunnel to the cluster to view the web page.

Execute the following command to create the stage tunnel

```bash
kubectx stage \
 && kubectl port-forward --namespace hello-web $(kubectl get pod --namespace hello-web --selector="app=hello-web,role=backend" --output jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 8080:8080
 ```

With multiple clusters configured, you could use `kubectl` to switch context. In this lab, we use `kubectx`, a command available in Cloud Shell to help you manage and switch context.

When that's' running, you can select the web preview in the top right of the screen, just to the left of your profile icon. Selecting "Preview on port 8080" will open a view of the app in the cluster.

Exit out of the tunnel by typing `ctrl+c` in the terminal on your keyboard

## Deploy code to Stage clusters

Change the output of your hello-web application to say "Hello World - V2"

<walkthrough-editor-select-line filePath="delivery-platform/workdir/hello-web/main.go"
                                startLine="30" startCharacterOffset="1"
                                endLine="30" endCharacterOffset="80">
Changed this line
</walkthrough-editor-select-line>

Commit the code to the main branch by executing the following command

```bash
cd $WORK_DIR/hello-web
git add .
git commit -m "Updating to V2"
git push origin main
```
Review the Cloud Build trigger in progress by cicking into the latest job on [the build history page](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds)

#### If you chose ACM as continuous delivery platform
When the Cloud Build trigger completes, you can review the updated change by opening your tunnel

```bash
kubectx stage \
 && kubectl port-forward --namespace hello-web $(kubectl get pod --namespace hello-web --selector="app=hello-web,role=backend" --output jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 8080:8080
 ```

And again utilizing the web preview in the top right

When you're done use `ctrl+c` in the terminal to exit out of the tunnel

#### If you chose Clouddeploy as continuous delivery platform
When the Cloud Build trigger completes, it will create a Clouddeploy pipeline in your project. Review it by clicking [Clouddeploy pipelines](https://pantheon.corp.google.com/deploy/delivery-pipelines).
You will see that the pipeline contains two stages : stage and prod. When the pipeline is created, it automatically deploys to stage environment.
![](https://crg-sdw-imgs.web.app/clouddeploy-stage.png)
Click the three dots on stage pipeline box and choose "View release" to see more details.
Now, you can review the updated change by opening your tunnel

```bash
kubectx stage \
 && kubectl port-forward --namespace hello-web $(kubectl get pod --namespace hello-web --selector="app=hello-web,role=backend" --output jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 8080:8080
 ```

## Release code to prod

#### If you chose ACM as continuous delivery platform

Releases to production are also triggered through git events. In this case, the creation of a tag is the triggering event instead of code being pushed to a branch.

Create a release by executing the following command

```bash
git tag v2
git push origin v2
```
Again review the latest job progress in the [the build history page](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds)

When complete review the page live by creating your tunnel

```bash
kubectx prod \
 && kubectl port-forward --namespace hello-web $(kubectl get pod --namespace hello-web --selector="app=hello-web,role=backend" --output jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 8080:8080
 ```

And again utilizing the web preview in the top right

When you're done use `ctrl+c` in the terminal to exit out of the tunnel

#### If you chose Clouddeploy as continuous delivery platform
Go to the pipipeline created earlier by clicking [Clouddeploy pipelines](https://pantheon.corp.google.com/deploy/delivery-pipelines).

A "promote" link will appear on stage box, click it. It will open a dialog box, select Prod as target and click Promote button at the bottom left.
It will trigger the release in Prod. Once the pipeline finishes, you will see Prod pipelines in green status as shown in the pic below.

![](https://crg-sdw-imgs.web.app/clouddeploy-prod.png)
Now, review the page live by creating your tunnel
```bash
kubectx prod \
 && kubectl port-forward --namespace hello-web $(kubectl get pod --namespace hello-web --selector="app=hello-web,role=backend" --output jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') 8080:8080
 ```

There's nothing better than a house party, right? Hanging out with your friends, with great drinks and snacks on tap… literally the dream. But nothing kills the vibe quicker than a rubbish playlist and zero atmosphere.
We've all been to that one house party where you were expecting party hits but what you got was hard trance on repeat. Look, there's a time for Born Slippy, but a chilled afternoon BBQ probably isn't it.
What could be better than an afternoon spent sipping a G&T and listening to the sizzling sounds of a fired-up BBQ? This type of al-fresco party often spans from day to night, so keeping the atmosphere upbeat over a long period of time is essential. This is where the music bit comes in.
As you move from outside to inside, you want the music following you wherever you are so you don't lose momentum. Panasonic's All Connected speakers act like the perfect party sidekick; they're portable, waterproof and connect to your Spotify account so no more awkward breaks in the playlist. And the best bit? The clever speakers can be synced together, so while you make your way from the garden into the house, the party follows you.
Ah, the family gathering. Otherwise known as the perfect excuse for a party loaded with guilty pleasures, think old school snacks and retro classics like Fleetwood Mac and Blondie. However, while the grown-ups might be having a great time, the younger contingent might not. When it comers to pleasing everyone at a family gathering, it's all about curation. Why not designate one room to music, and one room for the kids to escape to, just make sure to have a list of movies ready to go, so they can have a surround-sound cinema experience while the rest of you are throwing questionable moves to The Beautiful South.
Otherwise know as the 'pressure party'. Will anyone show? Have I got enough drinks? Does red wine ever really come out of a carpet? To make it a success, you need to get prepped. That includes moving all breakables upstairs, buying way more mixers than you think necessary and forewarning the neighbours about the impending noise (be polite, extend them an invite to ensure you've got them on side).
Next, you need to think about the playlist. When compiling this, think of it in three stages: from arrivals, to the mingling, right through to the party with a capital P stage. It's all about tempo and you don't want to peak too soon. Though in our experience, you can never have too much Beyoncé. Ever.

Sooners to Host Jackson State In Preseason NIT
College Basketball The University of Oklahoma will play host to Jackson State on Nov. 15 in the first round of the Preseason NIT, according to pairings released Thursday. The winner will advance to play the winner of the Manhattan at Georgia Tech game in the second round Nov. 17 or 18. Last March, Manhattan ousted OU with a 77-67 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The site of the semifinal and finals of the tournament has yet to be determined.
Madison Square Garden has been home for the Preseason NIT since that event started in 1985 and the NIT, the nation's oldest post-season tournament which began in 1938. "We are in negotiations with Madison Square Garden, as our previous agreement expired with the conclusion of the last postseason event," NIT legal counsel George Bisacca said. Sources said Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, N.Y., also is bidding to host the tourneys. Other first-round Preseason NIT games on Nov. 15 are DePaul at Michigan; Weber State at Fresno State; Northeast Louisiana at Arkansas; and Long Beach State at Arizona. On Nov. 16, Colgate will be at Georgetown and Rider will be at Temple.
Bowling Gary Dickinson, a PBA Hall of Famer from Edmnond, won the Greater Providence (R.I.) Senior PBA Open Thursday night, his first victory this year on the senior tour. Dickinson, 52, defeated Allie Clarke, 267-202 in the title match for the fourth senior victory of his career. He earned $8,000. . .
Boxing Heavyweight boxer Razor Ruddock's attempt to fire his promoter over an alleged forged contract before this Saturday's fight against Tommy Morrison failed in federal court in Newark, N.J., Thursday. Judge Alfred Wolin reinstated Murad Muhammad as the promoter for the IBF championship bout at Kansas City, Mo. Muhammad said he was fired because Ruddock alleged that either he or Ruddock's brother Delroy forged the heavyweight's name to a fight contract. Muhammad said Ruddock then convinced United Video to take over as the promoter of the fight. . . BIOG: NAME:

For 340 days, the world looked up to astronaut Scott Kelly as he documented his innovative year aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Kelly shared spectacular images and even some thank-you notes from 240 miles above the earth.
But Kelly's time in space was anything but fun and games. He was a crucial half of the two subjects of NASA's Twin Study.
Kelly's identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, is also an astronaut. The stroke of biological luck gave NASA an identical genealogical structure on Earth to compare with the twin it sent to space.
Over the year, the twins took blood and urine samples as well as performed mental and psychological challenges, providing mental and physical information for NASA to compare and study.
Kelly returned to our home planet in March of 2016, having earned his retirement from NASA and now, scientists have released the findings on what a year in space does to the human body and the results are intriguing.
One find was that Scott Kelly's telomeres—protective layers over the ends of chromosomes in DNA—lengthened. Because telomeres naturally shorten with age, the 55-year-old Kelly's should have been somewhat dilapidated. They returned to their natural state shortly after he returned to Earth.
Many of Kelly's genes that were dormant on Earth activated after a stay in space as well, particularly genes that employ proteins to help repair damaged DNA. Some believe this may have been due to higher radiation levels at the International Space Station.
Kelly also showed improvement on mental games and tests once in space, but did poorer on these same tests after his return to Earth, though this may be due to the stress of his busier schedule upon returning and the imminence of his retirement.
Kelly also described what the year of confined space did to his psyche as well.

Tail-twisting to the far side
of the pasture the last heifer
never looks back.
The loading chute empties.
The farmer's son claims
no fault, spins his Yamaha
ready for a 2-wheeled rodeo.
His mother, her hair half-tangled
with patience, her boots
lathered with shit, shouts
toward the heifer, gives her men
a ripped-shirt speech
of compassion
because it's part of her
job. The farmer swears,
and because he is not a cowboy
rides his horse however he can,
CO-OP cap on backwards.
Together, the farmer
and his son chase the beast
along a mile of fence,
uphill, down
hill, across a pond dam,
places no cow has ever
been before.
Aware of space, the farmer's son
twists the throttle
deep through his hand. Aware
of what's between
his legs
the farmer holds on
for his life. The horse,
bored with the luggage
on its back, enjoys it all
because he has sense,
does everything
but shut the gate
to a second-wind kink
in a cow's tail that spins
the last heifer back
to the further side of its world.

St. Louis Rams 2012
The 2012 St. Louis Rams Will Stalk Mediocrity The Defensive Way
The St. Louis Rams are going to try to boring their way into competition on the back of their defense in 2012.
By Dan Moore Jul 19, 2012, 8:02am CDT
Share All sharing options for: The 2012 St. Louis Rams Will Stalk Mediocrity The Defensive Way
June 12, 2012; St. Louis, MO, USA; St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long (91) during minicamp at ContinuityX Training Center. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Curry-US PRESSWIRE
In the absence of more convincing news to the contrary, I'm willing to go out on a limb and posit that the St. Louis Rams' strategy for the 2012 season is a lot like the one I employ when I'm outclassed in a sport, or a videogame, or a videogame sport: Stall. Hold the ball, play defense as stiflingly as possible, and hope that when the clock runs mercifully down the other team had one fewer opportunity to score than you did. Jeff Fisher (and Steve Spagnuolo) have built up a critical mass of young defensive competence, headed by Chris Long and joined most recently by NFL Draft picks Janoris Jenkins and Michael Brockers and free agent acquisition Cortland Finnegan.
It makes sense. These guys are going to be on the field a lot, if last year is any indication, so they'll get plenty of experience. And in general, if your offense isn't as good as your competitors' it makes sense to reduce the opportunities each side has and hope luck takes its course.
Of course, it's also going to be excruciatingly boring, but as much as I was in favor of the Rams hiring Josh McDaniels last year, I have to admit that a boring 8-8 team would be more interesting, in the short term, than an exciting 4-12 team.

Because you can see, it really is simple to have an extensive research paper or any other little bit of composing from our business. Since you could see, it is simple to have a research paper or a various little bit of composing from our business. Developing a amazing research paper isn't quite since hard because you can think.
Research paper has to be produced accurate. Composing an investigation paper is not any easy work. In understanding so what does a research that is amazing, also, it is suggested in all honesty.

Data weighs on US stocks, bitcoin and gold glow
16:35, 25 June 2019 · By David Madden
It was been a lacklustre session in Europe today as the US-Iran, and the US-China tensions continue to circulate.
The G20 summit is at the forefront of traders' minds and the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping is likely to determine the next major move in equities. Some traders are sitting on their hands until the meeting between the two leaders is out of the way.
Carpetright shares are in demand today as things appear to be on the up for the troubled retailer. The statutory loss before tax was £24.8 million, which was an improvement on last year's loss of £69.8 million. The company confirmed that 80 stores were closed as a part of the company voluntary arrangement, and 23 shops were retained in a nil rent basis. UK like-for-like sales in first eight weeks of the new financial year grew by 8.5%, and the firm said the turnaround was on track. Today's update shows the company is slowly but surely heading in the right direction. Consumer confidence is fragile so Carpetright will have its work cut out for it, but at least it has become leaner.
BT are looking to sell-off their Spanish division. The telecoms giant has previously considered tying it in with its operations in Latin America, but now it is looking at disposing of the business. The group appears to be trimming its international exposure, as it is spinning-off its Irish operation.
Petrofac issued a mediocre trading update. The firm said engineering and construction revenue for the full-year will be in the region of $4.5 billion, but margins will be at the lower end of the guidance. Year-to-date new order intake has been $1.7 billion, and the trading has been in line with the previous guidance. The company said the new order intake reflects the recent challenges in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) began investigating the company in 2017 in relation to its practices. The probe by the SFO has damaged the firm's reputation, and that has contributed to it missing out on $10 billion worth of contracts.
The Dow Jones and S&P 500 are in the red in light of the disappointing US economic reports. The CB consumer confidence report for June dropped to 121.5, from 134.1 in May, and economists were expecting a reading of 131.1. The new homes sales report for May showed a 7.8% decline, and the April update was revised from 6.9% to -3.7%. The announcements are a little concerning, and some investors will view the updates as a justification for the Fed to use dovish language.
Lennar had a solid second-quarter as EPS jumped by 38% on a yearly basis to $1.30, which easily topped the consensus estimate of $1.14. Revenue for the period jumped by 1.9% to $5.56 billion, exceeding forecasts. Gross margins were 20.1%, which compares with the 16.8% achieved in the same period last year, and the group expects an improvement in margins in the next two quarters.
AbbVie launched a takeover bid for Allergan for approximately $63 billion. Humira is the arthritis drug that is owned by AbbVie, and it has been the company's cash-cow, and now they are looking to diversify their portfolio of products. Allergan shares soared, while AbbVie shares have sold-off.
GBP/USD came under increased pressure after the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) realised sales report came in at -42, its lowest reading in 10 years. The announcement sparked fears that UK consumers are holding back on spending, and there has been some evidence of falling consumer sentiment. It is worth remembering that last June was a strong month for consumer spending as the weather was warm, and it just followed the Royal Wedding.
EUR/USD is in the red thanks to the slight rebound in the US dollar. There wasn't much in the way of economic announcements from the eurozone today, so the move has been dollar driven.
USD/CAD is a little lower this afternoon as the firm Canadian wholesale report weighed on the currency pair. The report showed a 1.7% increase, which topped the 0.2% forecast, and it was an improvement on the 1.4% reading in March.
Cryptocurrencies are back in fashion thanks to the recent announcement from Facebook that it is launching its own digital currency. Bitcoin has topped the $11,000 mark, while Ethereum is holding above $300.
Gold's impressive rally continues and the metal briefly hit a level not seen since May 2013.The metal has rallied over 9% in June, which is impressive to say the least. It is unusual that gold has enjoyed an upward move on a day when the US dollar and global stocks haven't; moved that much.
Oil has had a subdued session as geopolitics hangs over the energy market. The US-Iran standoff is likely to squeeze supply, but on the other hand, the trade spat between the US and China could hurt demand.

Umoja Dance Company presents a wide variety of programs geared towards all age groups. The company is prepared to work with the sponsoring organization to design a program specifically to benefit the intended audience. Please keep in mind that UMOJA is a Modern and African Dance Company so please specify which dance form you are requesting. If an African dance is requested, 2-3 musicians must accompany those pieces.
Company repertory is a construction and, or fusion of abstract modern and African dance. The movement is innovative, provocative yet forceful and is created from a deep spiritual internal and visceral realm.
Programs are geared towards general audiences as well as children. Programs incorporate audience participation and are ideally suited for school assemblies, outdoor festivals and large and small group gatherings. The demonstration includes a discussion of the inspiration of the artist, how that inspiration was translated into movement and the significance of the choreography, concluding with a question answer session with the audience and company.
Interested participants will experience the process of creating movement for oneself or a group of dancers. Participants explore the various methods of choreographing that the Artistic Director uses to create movement. Participants will be given the opportunity to present their work and share their choreographic process.
Movement programs for senior citizens, academic instructors, and other special groups can be arranged.
Master classes can be conducted singly or in a series. A series would consist of a combination of classes listed below. Previous dance training is encouraged but not necessary. Classes incorporate phrases of movement which are used to further illustrate the style and technique developed by the Artistic Director.
Combine any of the above services plus community outreach programs. The length of a residency is determined by the Artistic Director and the sponsoring organization. Performances can be presented at the end of the residency.
Audiences are invited to watch the company during an open rehearsal, usually the day before or the day of a performance.
A pre- or post-performance talk with the Artistic Director and the company can be arranged.

Those who are aspiring to be a Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching and are quite anxious about the version 5. Most of them are thinking how the lab will be? What kind of topology will they face in the lab? It quite too early to anticipate more details about the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Version 5 Lab. June 4 2014 is going to reveal more details.
Meanwhile to guide the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Version 5 aspirers, Cisco Press released their first series of CCIE study materials on 27th of Feb 2014. The Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching v5.0 Configuration Practice Labs comes with three full configuration lab scenarios in the CCIE R & S V5 exam format. This will certainly give you an idea how the CCIE R & S V5 lab may be. The sample chapter really looks amazing and from that I could see its ideal to have Six Cisco Routers loaded with Cisco IOS Software Release 15.3 T Advance Enterprise and Four Cisco 3560 X Switches with IPS 15.0S IP Services.
I will certainly come out with the detail review of the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching v5.0 Configuration Practice Labs and do let you know how this title will assist you all in achieving your dream of Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching.
Meanwhile you can buy this title online at Cisco Press store and start the journey of CCIE in practical terms.
Cisco with draws current CCNP Security curriculum by announcing the new set of Cisco CCNP Security exams namely 300-206 SENSS, 300-207 SITCS, 300-208 SISAS and 300-209 SIMOS respectively. All the previous CCNP Security exams. 642-637 SECURE v1, 642-617 FIREWALL v1.0, 642-647 VPN v1.0, 642-627 IPS v7.0 will be available to the CCNP Security aspirers till 21st April, 2014.
The newly introduced CCNP Security certification reflects the skills and responsibilities required of today's network security engineers, who increasingly require a holistic end-to-end understanding of a complete security posture.
Cisco is offering following training courses to CCNP Security aspirer worldwide.
I believe the current security evolution with the invent of Cloud, Big Data, third platform and especially the emergence of Next Generation Firewalls made Cisco rethink their strategy towards CCNP Security Certifications. Soon we can expect many titles popping out from Cisco Press for the CCNP Security preparation.
It's a known fact that there is a huge demand for cybersecurity experts, in fact it's been estimated that the demand for cybersecurity experts growing at 12 times the overall job market. Cisco always wants to stay ahead in race so they came out with a new Cisco Cybersecurity Specialist certification which provides the essential skills for network security analysts who specialize in proactive network security threat detection and mitigation.
The prerequisite for the Cisco Cybersecurity Specialist certification is a Cisco CCNA Security certification.
Yesterday Cisco announced that they started shipping out their newly introduced Catalyst 6800 Series Switches. Currently they are shipping the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL and 6880-X Switches. We all know when it comes to Campus backbone switches Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches ruled the industry for more than decade.
I wish Catalyst 6800 family a successful journey and I am pretty sure like Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches it's going to rule the Campus Backbone Category of Switches for coming decade.
I have been trying hard to book a slot for CCIE Routing and switching version 4 lab any time after March 2014, it's quite hard to find. I did not even find a single slot either in Bangalore or Dubai. All slots from January 2014 to June 3 2014 are occupied. I thought to try my luck in other locations unfortunately I am ran out of luck. This is quite scary for those who are trying hard to attempt the CCIE R & S version 4 lab. The only suggestion I have is book the slot as it's available and don't delay. I am hopeful of finding at least one slot. As planned Cisco is offering CCIE R & S version 5 labs from June 4 2014. Those who are preparing for CCIE R & S version please don't be panic or dishearten your efforts will not be wasted. This preparation will certainly help you all to achieve the most prestigious Networking Certification CCIE Routing & Switching.
If you find any slots please do comment so that many of the CCIE aspires get benefited.
Its official now, Cisco announced the much awaited update for CCIE Routing and Switching from version 4 to 5. It's a good move as CCIE R & S version 5 is there since pretty long time. The official launch for the version 5 happens to be on June 4th 2014. This brings a great relief for those who are preparing hard and almost very close to appear for the lab exam. Coolly there is a window of months for people like me to prepare and appear for the version 4 of the Routing and Switching lab exam.
As far as frame relay was concerned it was expected from to see its exit from the new version. Now here comes the challenge for CCIE training companies and Cisco press to come out with a quality study material and topology. I request you all go through the announcement made for further details.
CCDE Practical exams to be conducted in more locations worldwide.
When it comes to CCDE practical exams currently we are all restricted to location like San Jose, Chicago, London, etc., starting February 2014 things are going to change, and Cisco will be offering CCDE practical exams at all Pearson Professional Centers (PPCs) worldwide. From 8 Centers to 225 centers is a great move from Cisco soon we are going to see the numbers CCDE's increasing worldwide.
One great thing Cisco introduced is that can take lunch break on their own time after finishing the second scenario in the exam, where previously they were required to wait until the set lunchtime was finished before continuing on with section 3. The specific announcement from Cisco is below, along with the link to the CCDE page which outlines exactly where the new locations will be.
• An intuitive graphical user interface to help you configure, tune, and manage Cisco IPS sensors, Cisco Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Modules, Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Intrusion Detection System Modules, Cisco IDS Network Modules, and Cisco IOS IPS modules.
• Powerful monitoring and reporting tools, including a real-time event viewer for troubleshooting and top reports for security auditing and compliance purposes.
• Flexible device management options for up to 10 IPS devices within a single GUI.
We are waiting for the feedback from Cisco hopefully they will come out with a new version Cisco IPS Manager Express (IME) which can run on Windows 8.1 Pro.
The updated version of CCIE R & S seems to be a 100% virtual lab environment similar to the current troubleshooting section of CCIE R & S lab. Some older legacy technologies like frame relay is expected to be removed along with some least used IOS features like Zone- Based Firewall, WCCP, IPv6 Multicast and PfR also topics like IPSec, DMVPN and Embedded Packet Capture are expected to be added in the new blue print.
The current lab exam comprises of two sections, a 2 hours troubleshooting section and a 6 hour configuration section. Apart from these two sections a new section is expected to be included in the lab exam called diagnostic section. Well time will reveal more details on the format and scoring of the lab exam.
Those who are planning to appear for the lab exam in near future it is highly recommended for them to schedule their exam before March 2014 as it's expected that starting March 1st new version my replace the current version 4 exam.
Well I see this a great initiative from Cisco to update the much awaited CCIE Routing and Switching Certification track. I suggest all those CCIE Routing and Switching aspires to keep updated with latest developments and follow INE blog and Cisco Learning Network as this is the place where the news break first. Meanwhile I will try to keep you all updated with the latest development.
Recently I was upgrading our Cisco Nexus 7010 Switch NX-OS version from 5.0 (3) to 6.1 (4). After the upgrade process when I used the NX-OS command "show system redundancy status" to check the high availability of Nexus Supervisor module-1X Engines I discovered one of them was just power up but not under operation in Standby mode.
Upon issuing the "attach module 5" I ran again the NX-OS command "show system redundancy status" to check the HA between Nexus Supervisor module-1X Engines and discovered that the redundancy state was in standby mode and the Internal State was under synchronization process.
Again I checked the system redundancy state and discovered module 5 was in standby mode.
In upcoming posts I will discuss the challenges I faced to upgrade Nexus 7010 Switch NX-OS version from 5.0 (3) to 6.1 (4).

BHAKTAPUR, Nepal – Nepal has reopened most of the heritage sites that were damaged in a pair of strong earthquakes that devastated parts of the country recently, hoping to bring back foreign tourists.
Tourism Minister Kripasur Sherpa said six of the seven heritage sites closed after the quakes were reopened Monday.
The earthquakes on April 25 and May 12 killed more than 8,700 people. Hundreds of thousands of buildings were damaged, including old temples, palaces and other historical structures that are popular with tourists.
About 800,000 foreign tourists visit Nepal every year and the government is worried that the fear of earthquakes will stop many from visiting the Himalayan country.

City Board Denies 17-Unit Project
Plans for a four-story, 17-unit residential property on the 300 block of First Avenue in Asbury Park were denied unanimously by the Board of Adjustment this week.
The applicant, who was asking for use and bulk variances, began the process one year ago testifying before the board four times including three hours on Tues., Oct. 8
But Advanced Development Group, LLC could not convince the board that the project was a good fit for the 100 by 100 foot lot on the corner of First and Asbury Avenues.
The site is the combination of two 50 by 100 foot lots, with the Delmonte Hotel, a 52 bedroom rooming house, situated on one of the lots.
Board members believed that the building was just too large for the site, but suggested other larger, properties including the Asbury Avenue site of the former, now demolished, Metropolitan Hotel.
Board Chair Chris Avallone said, "It's too much, the size, the density…and it's important to maintain zoning."
Board member Eric Galipo agreed.
"It's not designed to fit this particular site," he said.
Board Member Brittany Ashman, citing the lot coverage, said, "I don't think this advances the property…the project has 81 percent building coverage when only 25 percent is allowed."
Several First Avenue residents also testified that they believed the project is just too big.
Only one resident, whose main reason for his approval of the project is to see the Delmonte Hotel closed, was in favor of approving the application.
Several residents complained about the frequent police activity at the rooming house, where they say crime is high.
Other residents said although they would like to see the Delmonte closed they did not want it to be "at any cost."
The proposed project included 17 units, four one bedroom and 13 two bedroom residences. Also a rooftop garden and recreation area.
The ground level was to have 33.2 parking spaces in the form of a stacked parking system with each unit having two stacked spaces with a mechanism for raising one car above the other.
The process of lowering the upper car would involve having the lower car back out of the space and the upper car lowered.
The applicants architect Nicholas Netta said he has worked with this parking system at other high density areas including Jersey City and it works well.
However, Netta could not explain how the electrical hydraulic system would be maintained.
Board member Daniel Harris said the lack of a maintenance plan was part of the reason he denied the application.
As a remedy to the applicant the board suggested choosing another, larger site for the project or appealing to the mayor and council to change the zoning of the property which is in close proximity of the Waterfront Redevelopment Area where the application would have a better chance of being approved.
