Biografie
Ion Oncescu s-a născut pe 25 aprilie 1978, în București, România.
Din copilărie a început a practica jogging și înot în fiecare zi. A absolvit Facultatea de Jurnalism și Academia de Studii Economice Internaționale de Afaceri din București, profilul economic, și a fost masterand în administrarea afacerilor la Chicago. Primul contact cu sportul a avut loc la FC Dinamo București, unde a jucat fotbal la nivel de tineret, dar s-a lăsat și s-a apucat de tenis, deoarece i s-a părut mai interesant și a început să se pregătească sub îndrumarea lui Florin Segărceanu.

Ion Oncescu a câștigat primul său titlu național la skandenberg, atunci când avea 18 ani și de atunci a fost campion de necontestat, fiind un luptător de skandenberg în formare, în 2005, la nouă ani după debut. A absolvit Facultatea de Jurnalism și Academia de Studii Economice Internaționale de Afaceri din București în profilul de economie.

El a devenit prima dată campion mondial la al XXIX-lea Campionat Mondial de Armwrestling, care a avut loc la Veliko Tărnovo, Bulgaria în octombrie 2007. Pentru brațul stâng, Oncescu a avut de a se angaja în 10 meciuri, iar 5 dintre adversari erau foști campioni mondiali. În cea de-a doua rundă a pierdut surprinzător împotriva campionului bulgar Stoian Golemanov, dar a recuperat și a ajuns la final împotriva rusului Dzambolat Tsoriev, care era de neoprit la momentul respectiv. Ion Oncescu a câștigat cu 2-0 și a devenit campion mondial pentru prima oară în cariera sa. A doua zi a trebuit să intre în competiție pentru campionatul la brațul drept și a fost angajat în opt meciuri și a ajuns în finală, unde a trebuit să se înfrunte cu același Dzambolat Tsoriev. Oncescu a pierdut primul meci, dar le-a câștigat pe celelalte două și a devenit campion mondial la brațul drept și pentru întregul turneu de campion mondial de necontestat, a primit $23,000, premiu în bani. Ion Oncescu a câștigat al treilea și al patrulea titlu mondial la Campionatele Mondiale de Armwrestling, care au avut loc în Kelowna, Canada. El trebuia să se angajeze în 20 de meciuri, 10 pentru brațul stâng și 10 pentru brațul drept și a câștigat două titluri mondiale cu ușurință. Astfel, Oncescu devenea primul sportiv care câștiga titlurile mondiale la acest sport doi ani la rând.

În 2007, la Cupa Mondială Nemiroff, Oncescu și-a îndeplinit visul vieții, de a câștiga împotriva polonezului născut în America, campion de skandenberg, John Brzenk, dar în cele din urmă a pierdut împotriva ucraineanului Andrei Puskar.

În 2009 el a reușit să învingă 116 români neprofesioniști, urmând ca în 2010 numărul de concurenți să se tripleze. La Zolty Tour (Nemiroff) 2009 a obținut locul 4 la brațul stâng și locul 2 la brațul drept la categoria 95 kg, fiind învins numai de către legendarul John Brzenk. Tot în 2009, Ion Oncescu a reușit să ia medalia de aur la Campionatele Europene din Bulgaria, după ce s-a impus în finală la brațul stâng în fața polonezului Lucjan Fujdala. Pe 24 ianuarie 2010, de ziua micii uniri, a învins 300 de oameni printre care și profesioniști. 2010 a fost un an foarte bun pentru românul nostru pentru că a reușit să câștige din nou medalia de aur la Campionatului Mondial de la Mesquite, Nevada, SUA, care a avut loc între 6-12 decembrie, după ce i-a învins în finala la brațul stâng (categoria 100 kg), pe americanul Tom Nelson și pe kazahul Alexandr Fugarov. La brațul drept s-a clasat pe locul 6.

La 21 februarie 2011, el a reușit să învingă 500 de oameni. Printre cei învinși s-au numărat și campionul european și vicecampionul mondial la haltere Ninel Miculescu, campionul național la darts, la culturism și aruncarea greutății, Daniel Racoveanu și jucătorul de baschet Virgil Stănescu.

Pe 12 februarie 2012, la Sun Plaza București, după un concurs de 8 ore, alături de cei 1000 de adversari propuși, Oncescu a stabilit un nou record mondial, care a fost certificat de către reprezentantul Guinness World Records, câștigând în fața celor 1000 de participanți (chiar 1024 până la final). Spectacolul a fost difuzat în direct pe canalul TV sport.ro.

Pe 23 septembrie 2012, Ion Oncescu a stabilit un nou record, acela de a merge sub apă în picioare cu o halteră de 59 kg pe o lungime de 33 m.

But for your content marketing to be effective, you need a defined target audience. "Once you know who to target, you can create informative and engaging videos, ebooks, blog posts, webinars, and landing pages that speak to specific pain points, outline solutions, and prompt visitors to take action," she advises.
All your superior content will go to waste if you haven't got a solid content distribution strategy. "You want the right people in your target audience to discover your content, so you have to be intentional about how you get it out in front of them," Walsh explains.
So, what should you do? "For starters, it's a good idea to do some behind-the-scenes work on search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO). According to Formstack's state of lead capture report, organic website traffic is "the top source of high-quality leads for marketers." In this case, organic means natural, unpaid, and attention getting in its own right. So, paying attention to SEM and SEO will allow prospective customers find your content via a simple Google search. You should also consider which social networks are most relevant to your audience, and strategically share your content there," Walsh suggests.
Once your content entices visitors to your site, the goal is to get them to convert. That is, you want them to provide contact information via an online form that's intuitive.. According to Walsh, designing mobile-friendly forms is one of the best ways to boost your conversions. "Optimizing your forms for mobile means considering how they'll appear on a smaller screen. Users shouldn't have to put in extra effort to complete a form on a mobile device. Input boxes should stretch across the screen, required scrolling should be kept to a minimum, and desired actions should be simple and clear," Walsh advises. Have friends try out your mobile forms and give you feedback about their utility.
"To become an expert digital marketer, you need to understand that the job is never "done". Refine. Refine. Refine. Always track the performance of your content and web pages with Google Analytics or other tools. Real information helps you determine which efforts are working so that you can optimize and scale those efforts. You can also use form insights to identify field bottlenecks and other elements that may be hindering conversions," Walsh summarizes.
An effective lead generation strategy is all about attracting visitors with valuable content, converting them with optimized forms, and continually using data to refine your efforts. Put Walsh's 4 tips in action, and better leads are sure to find you.


The history of the Sunnylea neighbourhood revolves around Alexander Thompson who purchased two hundreds acres of land in this area in 1803, after his discharge from the Kings Rangers. Alexander Thompson lived in a distinguished residence, just south of Bloor Street at Royal York Road that was known as Rose Bank Cottage. His son, Archibald, lived in a country Georgian farmhouse just to the south of his father, which was called Spring Bank Cottage. Spring Bank Cottage is still standing today at 7 Meadowcrest Road. The Thompson property was renowned for its apple, cherry, pear and plum orchards.
In the latter part of the 1800s, the Thompsons were joined in Sunnylea by families who cultivated thriving market gardens filled with fruits and vegetables. A handful of these old Sunnylea farmhouses are still standing both on Prince Edward Drive and on Islington Avenue. In 1907, the first Sunnylea School – a two room white brick schoolhouse – was built on Prince Edward Drive. Edna G. Whitworth, a pupil at the school won a contest in coming up with the Sunnylea name, which also became the name of this community. Sunnylea's old farms were subdivided in the 1930s and 40s, when the present day neighbourhood was developed. The influx of new families to this community led to the opening of the second Sunnylea School in 1942. The elementary schools have definite enrollment boundaries that serve different parts of this neighbourhood. You can phone the schools listed below to see which one your child would attend.
Sunnylea's bungalow, split-level, storey-and-a-half, and two-storey houses were built mostly in the 1940s and 1950s. All of these houses are detached and include at least a 30-foot frontage and a private drive.
The Tudor style houses closer to Bloor Street are the older houses in this neighbourhood. Many of these houses feature handsome Riverstone exteriors, bay windows, stone chimneys, wrought iron railings and decorative front porches. Sunnylea residents in the area bound by Bloor Street, Royal York Road, and the Mimico Creek, have been progressive in forming the Thompson Orchard Community Association. This association has been successful in getting the city to pass site specific zoning by-laws designed to protect the residential character of this neighbourhood.
Sunnylea residents enjoy convenient access to the Kingsway Village shopping district on Bloor Street West. This well-planned retail corridor has a festive, pedestrian friendly atmosphere and features comfortable park benches, evergreen trees, and cast iron street lamps. Even the garbage bins are wrapped in ornate cast-iron frames. There is plenty of metered parking along Bloor Street and many of the side streets, which make it easy to explore this vibrant shopping district.
The shops in the Kingsway Village include high-end fashion shops, children's stores, bookshops, specialty stores, upscale restaurants, fruit and vegetable markets, bakeries and coffee shops. There is also a myriad of professional services located on this street led by a large number of travel shops and real estate offices that serve the high profile neighbourhoods in this district.
The Norseman Community School, located at 105 Norseman Street, and the Park Lawn Community School, at 71 Ballacaine Drive, offer a large variety of recreational programs for children, teens, adults and seniors. Norseman has an indoor pool, which is extensively used for aquafit and instructional swim programs. Park Lawn has a winter ice arena that converts to tennis courts in the summertime. The outdoor pool at Park lawn is used for recreational swimming.
Sunnylea Park and Laura Hill Park each have two tennis courts and a children's playground. Spring Garden Park is nestled on the west bank of Mimico Creek. This idyllic park has a children's playground and is well shaded with many old trees. The Brentwood Public Library is located at 36 Brentwood Road, one block west of Royal York Road and one block north of Bloor Street. This library offers year-round programs for children. The fifty-five plus Fairfield Senior Centre is located at 80 Lothian Avenue. The facilities here include a seniors lounge, a library, workshops, support groups, and a variety of special events including fashion shows, "pub nights," a flea market and summer barbecues.
Bus lines on Prince Edward Drive, Royal York Road and Islington Avenue provide Sunnylea residents with connecting routes to stations on the Bloor-Danforth subway line. Motorist are approximately 15 minutes from Toronto's downtown financial and entertainment districts via Lake Shore Boulevard or the Gardiner Expressway which also provide commuters with connecting routes to the all of the major highways leading to all points of the city.


Players on the final table cashed for €26.096,17, or 32,3% of the €80.842,50 prize pool.
The top three finishers in this tournament won a combined 21,7% of the prize pool.
allthewayup, who finished in second place, earned 5,5% of the prize pool.


Scott Keneally - Rise of a filmmaker?
Scott Keneally first made a name for himself when, when Outside Magazine, in November 2012, published his cover story about the good, the bad and the ugly bosses of obstacle course racing. Today, he's putting the finishing touches on a feature documentary he's written and directed about this muddy, messy world.
Gaël Couturier: First thing first: Have you been a long time fitness addict who then moved to obstacle races?
Scott Keneally: No, not at all. I'm a pain-averse couch potato, interrupted by brief, unsustained spells of snowboarding and mountain biking. To this day, I've done about 30 obstacle races, mostly Tough Mudders and Spartans, though I've been to England the past 4 winters for Tough Guy. Now I'm addicted. I love the community aspect and I love the spectacle.
Gaël Couturier: At the end of 2012, you wrote that 1.5 million people would enter 150 events in the USA. Melissa Rodriguez, a fitness industry analyst and personal trainer (obstacleraceworld.com) wrote that "in 2014, more than four million participated in an obstacle course race worldwide". What are the figures now you think?
Scott Keneally: A recent Sport Business Journal article states that around 4.5 million Americans crossed a finish like caked in mud. Worldwide, they probably are around 6-7 millions. I don't know how many events there were off the top of my head, but I believe the revenue was approaching a half-billion dollars.
Gaël Couturier: How have those obstacle-enhanced distance running races evolve in North America since the Outside article came out? Are Will Dean – CEO of Tough Mudder – and Joe De Sena – CEO of Spartan Races – the biggest winner of that industry?
Scott Keneally: Yes, Tough Mudder and Spartan Races, have now become the biggest names of this industry. Public perception is that those events are getting more extreme, more dangerous. You can look at Tough Mudder's tear gas obstacle, "Cry Baby," as being an example of this. But despite the shock factor, I feel like on a whole, they are making these races more accessible, less challenging. They're just not as hard as they used to be. You have to understand one thing: both want to appeal to as many people as possible, they don't want to alienate participants by making their races too tough, because it would reduce their market.
Gaël Couturier: But isn't pain and suffering what they have always been selling?
Scott Keneally: Oh yeah, they absolutely led with that, for the shock factor. And it worked. It got everyone's attention. But I feel like they're trying to make the events more accessible, to give more people access to that sense of achievement. For instance, when I first did my first Tough Mudder at Squaw Valley in 2011, we hiked up the steepest slope I've ever been on. It was so steep, and on such loose terrain, we all had to bear crawl. I would imagine that obstacle would scare off as many people as their other one called: Electroshock Therapy. Nowadays, it feels like Tough Mudder's course leads participants up mountains in a more gradual manner, like up fire roads as opposed to a double black diamond. Not that this is a bad thing. They want this to be accessible to the average person. And if one finds himself needing something more extreme, a 24 or 48 hour non-stop obstacle race for example, there are plenty of niche offerings: Tough Mudder has World Toughest Mudder for example. Spartan Race has the Ultra Beast, Hurricane Heat, Hurricane Heat 12 Hour and the Agoge which is supposed to last for as long as 48 to 60-hours. The Barkley, in running, could be an equivalent to those last ones. None of them is particularly accessible and they don't really attract many people. Many of us are driven by our ego here and we all need the opportunity to finish an event. Nowadays you see people walking through the entire course. It's like everyone can be a Tough Mudder.
Gaël Couturier: What make those two brands different from each other's? Is it their lengths? Is it the difficulty of their respective obstacles?
Scott Keneally: There's a big philosophical difference between the two brands. One is a race and the other is a challenge. Spartan Race is a race. It is about timing, about beating other people and pushing your physical limits. Tough Mudder is about teamwork. It is more about breaking through psychological barriers. Like Tough Guy, Tough Mudder's obstacles pray upon your fears of ice, fire, heights, electricity, claustrophobia and such. I find myself pushing harder at a Spartan Race for example, which is why I like the Tough Mudder better. I'm a little bit of a slacker. I don't like to be at my max heart rate.
Gaël Couturier: What is the biggest financial investment for these organizers?
Scott Keneally: At this point, everything is a big financial investment for these companies. Marketing. Course builds. Insurance. Research and Design. It all costs money.
Gaël Couturier: Which would be the newest meanest obstacle that has recently emerged?
Scott Keneally: Tough Mudder's tear gas obstacle, "Cry Baby". The last time I went through it, I thought I was going to suffocate. Literally. Tear gas is the most dramatic shock factor thing that has ever happened in this industry. But on a whole, I think many of the new obstacles are becoming more fun. Like the things you'd see on American Ninja Warrior. The show's popularity has definitely influenced these courses.
Gaël Couturier: So in the end which franchise is crafting the best obstacles?
Scott Keneally: These days it's Tough Mudder. Their obstacles are scary, intimating and fun. Spartan Race has a different focus: creating a sport. They're more into what you can train your body for. Tough Mudder is not at all about what you can train for: you can't train for electricity, you can't train for tear gas! At the end of the day, Tough Mudder will deliver the better stories that you would want to share with your friends in a bar. Spartan cares about creating fitter human beings. There's a place for both in this industry. And there's definitely a place for Tough Guy, from UK, which is more like the spiritual center of the industry.
Gaël Couturier: Let's talk about your movie, Rise of the Sufferfests. What is it about?
Scott Keneally: It's the first feature documentary about the global obstacle race phenomenon. The film explores the history of the sport, the psychology behind it, the personalities that drive it. It also asks what obstacle races say about the world we're living in. A lot of news organizations have been covering the fact that obstacle racing is a thing, but I haven't seen much in-depth analysis as to why it's a thing. And this film is my attempt to explore that question. It feels like a distinctively modern phenomenon, filling a void in people's live. It is a symptom of life in the digital age and also perhaps, an antidote.
Gaël Couturier: When and why did you decide to make a movie about obstacle races?
Scott Keneally: Initially I thought I was going to write a biography on Mr Mouse, a pseudonym for Billy Wilson, the creator of Tough Guy (1987). I think he's a brilliant, eccentric and fascinating man. Very quickly, with a few late night whisky conversations with friends asking me WHY people do this, I realized I just didn't have a great answer at the time. So that's why I went onto this journey. I thought there was a bigger, deeper story about this phenomenon.
Gaël Couturier: How did you finance the film?
Scott Keneally: I scratched and clawed along for the first couple of years – begging, borrowing, and crowdfunding – until finding a production partner in January 2015: Echo Entertainment. They are based in Los Angeles and do a ton of sports programming for television. I'm lucky I found them. They have provided me with an editor and staff and of course put up a lot of the capital to help continue the shooting that I started back in 2013. I have no idea where this project would be without them.
Gaël Couturier: Tell me what will Scott Keneally do after the release of that movie?
Scott Keneally: I've worked 15 years as a freelance treatment writer in music videos and commercial production. I worked with directors off and on sets, helping them write and craft pitches for music videos and commercials. I worked Rihanna first music video and Paris Hilton's controversial burger commercial. I even wrote the treatment for Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA." This is my first foray into filmmaking, and I love it. I don't have any upcoming projects that I have my heart set on, but I love storytelling. So I'll find other stories to tell.

Japan's Abe set to bring telegenic son of popular ex-PM into Cabinet
Tue, Sep 10, 2019 - 10:59 PM
Shinjiro Koizumi, a member of the House of Representatives, poses for a photograph in Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday, May 8, 2019.Mr Abe, poised to become Japan's longest-serving premier in November, will appoint telegenic Shinjiro whom surveys show voters favour as their next leader, to the environment minister post, NHK public television reported.
[TOKYO] Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will draft the son of former premier Junichiro Koizumi into his Cabinet and keep allies in key posts in a reshuffle on Wednesday, media reported, as Mr Abe readies a tax rise and aims to revise the pacifist constitution.
Mr Abe, poised to become Japan's longest-serving premier in November, will appoint telegenic Shinjiro Koizumi, 38, whom surveys show voters favour as their next leader, to the environment minister post, NHK public television reported.
The appointment, although to one of the less powerful Cabinet posts, could give a popularity boost to the new line-up. Cabinet posts will be announced on Wednesday after the current Cabinet resigns and officials have not commented on media reports about possible appointments.
The Cabinet debut of the younger Koizumi, known as Shinjiro to distinguish him from his father, could bolster his chance of competing to succeed Mr Abe when the prime minister's term as ruling Liberal Democratic Party chief ends in September 2021.
But it could also put him in an awkward position of having to support Mr Abe's policy of promoting nuclear power. Junichiro Koizumi, now retired from parliament, emerged as a harsh critic of atomic energy after the 2011 nuclear disaster at the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant.

Mr Shinjiro grabbed headlines last month with news that he would marry Christel Takigawa, a French-Japanese television presenter, and they will soon have a baby.
Mr Abe is set to retain Finance Minister Taro Aso, 78, and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, 70, both of whom have served in their positions since the conservative leader returned to office in 2012, promising to reboot the economy and bolster the military, political sources and media said.
Mr Aso must help ensure the economy weathers an increase in the sales tax to 10 per cent from 8 per cent in October, which could dampen consumption when a US-China trade war is clouding growth.
Mr Abe is also poised to keep veteran lawmaker Toshihiro Nikai, 80, as Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) secretary general, the party's number two post, political sources and media said.
Several likely ministers are seen as possible contenders to succeed Mr Abe, including his right-hand aide Mr Suga.
Another would-be premier is Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, 63, a Harvard-educated lawmaker with a reputation as a tough negotiator likely to take over at the foreign ministry from Taro Kono. Mr Motegi will probably stay in charge of trade talks with the United States ahead of a deadline for a deal later this month, media reported.
Mr Kono, a fluent English speaker who is well-known in Washington and has been on the front line of Japan's feud with South Korea over wartime history and trade, is in line to become defence minister, media reported.
Mr Kono, 56, who has a reputation as a maverick and is also often mentioned as a possible successor to Mr Abe, would replace Takeshi Iwaya, who upset some ruling LDP colleagues in June by smiling when he met his South Korean counterpart.
Another Mr Abe ally and potential future premier, former health, labour and welfare minister Katsunobu Kato, was set to return to his old post, NHK said.
"Shinjiro's appointment will heat up the post-Abe succession battle," said one political source speaking on condition of anonymity.
Mr Abe will also appoint a former Olympic speed skater, Seiko Hashimoto, as Olympics minister to prepare for the 2020 Games in Tokyo, one of two women likely to win posts, media said.
Mr Abe, who could decide to seek a rare fourth term as LDP leader in 2021, has made clear he intends to pursue his goal of revising the post-war, US-drafted constitution to clarify the status of the military.
The charter, if taken literally, bans a standing military but has been stretched to allow armed forces for self-defence.
Mr Abe's task got tougher when his LDP-led coalition lost its two-thirds majority in a July upper house election. Amendments to the charter require approval by two-thirds of each chamber of parliament and a majority in a referendum.
Voter support for Mr Abe was at 48 per cent in a survey this month by public broadcaster NHK, little changed from August.
Social security topped the list of issues voters want the new Cabinet to tackle, followed by the economy. Only 5 per cent mentioned constitutional reform as a priority.

And the waterfall would probably generate a certain amount of ambient noise in that building. It probably wouldn't be a problem for people who live there, but I'm betting some guests would have trouble adjusting.
And all of that white noise would play plu perfect hell with any listening devices. No matter who made them and how good they are. Excellent when you want privacy.
Yes, Chatin. Few things in life are more fun than a good snowball fight.

Country Living, Organic Gardening . . .
I didn't just one day sit up in bed and say, I'm moving to the country. The seed had been planted long ago. I grew up in North Carolina in the fifties, back when it was mostly rural, when everyone bought their produce and eggs at the farmer's markets, and it was no big whup. Just the way it was.
Back then summer seemed long, like a whole lifetime had passed by the time it was over. We spent the evenings catching fireflies and frogs and listening to the grownups tell stories on the screened porch in the lamplight. Until August. By August, the heat and humidity would be so bad anyone who could went to the beach, and so we'd pack up the station wagon head off for two weeks to the South Carolina shore.
One summer, July was just too much, too, and my parents said, we're going to Maine for a week to visit friends. Maine might has well have been Mars for all I knew. I remember asking for grits in a café once we got there, and the waitress and my parents laughed. I remember learning what a cove was, that the ocean—a cool, blue grey color in Maine — could lap against the rocks of a cove as calmly as lake waves. Before that, I had only known the thundering waves of South Carolina beaches and the swell and fall of the inlets. In Maine, I learned that summer nights could require a sweater, of all things.
Anyway, the trip got my 10-year- old attention—narrow roads lined with huge evergreens, fields of Queen Anne's lace (still my favorite wildflower) and those blue-grey coves.
Just past a cove and up a fir-lined dirt road, I saw the farmhouse where we'd be staying. Nothing like North Carolina—no Victorian turrets or wide, white painted verandas—just an old, weathered box of a house with a steep roof.
The people we were visiting seemed old, too, but they surprised me with their energy. No one had energy in the south in the summer except kids. They'd planned an excursion. Off we went in their truck to haul driftwood from the beach before dark. The hosts thought we might need a fire. A fire in July? Mars, definitely. Anyway, it was great for me. I was expecting the grown-ups to sit on the porch with iced tea and talk for hours. Instead, we were back at the cove—that word again—pulling driftwood over the rattling pebbles to the truck.
After that task was done, my brother and I were given pails and told to go pick blueberries. It all seemed weird to me. No one in the south expected their guests to do chores! But, we were free for however long it took to fill the pails. Not only that, I didn't have to put on high boots because of copperheads. I wouldn't even have to look down.
I remember the air smelled like the ocean even though I couldn't see or hear the waves, only the wind through the deep green fir trees.
We filled our buckets, and then Helen — our hostess — said she needed help making blueberry pies. Now, I knew I was not in the south. I was a guest, working in the kitchen AND IT WAS FUN! Once the pies were in the oven, Helen said we needed to pick vegetables for the soup, and off we went again, trotting through the meadow and the Queen Anne's Lace to the vegetable garden. I didn't know you could live like that, going from one pleasant task to another, wearing old clothes, not having to make charming chit-chat.
Anyway re: Fresno. Just to clear this up. Here's what I've learned. It has lovely, old, tree-shaded neighborhoods, a beautiful Art-Deco Library, some great restaurants, a wonderful film series at a cool, nineteen-thirties movie palace, and a fantastic bunch of lefties at KPFK and Fresno Folklore Society and a fabulous creative writing program at Fresno State.
Believe it or not, Fresno has a Whole Foods, a French pastry shop with croissants and brioche, a Trader Joe's and a beautiful Farmer's Market under a shady arbor. Now, I ask you where does Pioneer Woman shop? Somewhere in the middle of Oklahoma! And she wrote a whole cookbook. A best selling cookbook.
Last evening we had a spring snow. From where I sat on my comfy sofa, I could see the firelight and look out the windows on either side of the stone fireplace at the big, flat snowflakes falling all around, sticking to the branches of the walnut tree and covering the early blooming daffodils. I had a soup bubbling on the stove—an old forties Wedgewood that I polish like a vintage Chevy— and bread in the oven. I don't know what other peoples' dreams are, but this is mine. Coziness.
Pioneer Woman says hers is the story of an accidental country girl. I'd have to say mine is the story of an intentional country girl. I always intended to do this. Still, the many accidents along the way have, like all things tinged with grace, startled me into gratitude. A night doesn't go by that I don't lie in the dark listening to the frogs or the crickets or the occasional coyote and say to the Great Spirit, Thank you for all this.
What about you? I guess I'd like to know what other people are doing at this stage in their lives. I wonder what you all had to give up to move into another phase. It's not always easy, is it? What were the hardest parts and the best? I hope you'll write and tell me.
I should have done this from the very beginning. I know. I know. Frankly, Dave and I got slammed. There was so much work to do, so much we had to learn. There wasn't any time to really think much less write. We just had to get the job done–dig wells, lay pipe, cut trees, build rock retaining walls, mend fences, fix the fireplace, plant some flowers and trees, try to make a nice, shady place to sit on a summer's evening, deal with West Nile carrying mosquitoes, with meat bees, and with the rattlesnakes who'd called this place home for so many years. There was snow in the winter, something we hadn't seen in the thirty-five years we'd lived in Berkeley; there was summer heat. In B-town the fog rolls in about five pm. Here, once the sun gets low, we move onto the patio with a gin and tonic in hand–Sierra foothill air-conditioning–and wait for the house to cool down so we can sleep. Okay, so it could be worse. Still, I wish I'd been like my new idol Pioneer Woman and taken pictures of all the before, because, believe me, it was a real challenge for a couple of academics from Berkeley to get this place up and running. Still is I guess, but the dust has settled a bit.
Above is a picture of our new home. We call it Blue Oak Hill—not to be confused with the other Blue Oak hill in Santa Barbara. The Sierra foothills have a lot of blue Blue Oak covered hills. We're happy to be living on one of them!
To the left, friends, is what it looked like when we bought the place—basically a pit, a dump. The real estate agent wouldn't even come in the house. I said it should be bombed, and I still have no idea what gave me the courage to take on this project.
Or the starry nights and the absolute quiet. Maybe Dave and I misplaced our minds as a southern family member says, but we did it. Sold the big house and moved to the ranch.
Look, my (cowboy) hat's off to Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond. She plunged into a huge ranch in the middle of nowhere but, hey, her husband is a rancher from a ranching family. My guy Dave is an astrophysicist—a theoretical astrophysicist. He is now a chainsaw-wielding, cattle-herding, theoretical astrophysicist. Let us pray.
Folks, I do believe there is a God. If Woolsey hadn't said yes, Dave and I would now be flatter than a run over cow-pie. Not that there haven't been days when I pretty much resembled that. Gone are the $140 dollar haircuts on Maiden Lane in San Francisco. Gone are the makeovers at the Chanel counter at Saks. Gone are the designer clothes. Gone, gone, gone. But, here's a little secret—I don't really miss 'em. If you are the kind of girl who reads Country Living in the supermarket line and—like me—loves hanging your sheets outside to dry in the sun, if you're the kind who fills mason jars with wildflowers and wants to pick your own dinner from your garden, you won't miss your city life either. You just have to be brave enough to try.


This is really two separate issues that kinda bothered me a bit.
Thought at first that it was introduced together with 4.4.2 but that I just didn't notice it until a bit later. This was on my Swedish One with 4.4.2 and the very latest Chrome update.
So, what problems are you talking about?
1. Chrome in landscape mode, you want to share something: this causes the phone to crash and crash HARD. Had to soft reset once since it created too many crash reports. Fun. NOT.
2. When you get a call (or made a call), sometimes/rarely/often it went straight on speaker. Which is mildly irritating, at least it was for me, since I didn't saw it too often.
So, how do you fix it? This gotta be a 4.4.2 bug by htc right?
Actually it turns out that it's not that, since I've heard about the speakerphone issue on 4.3 as well. So, can't be "Just" 4.4.2 causing it.
Saw a tip on the HTC UK fb yesterday about it being a bug in the recent Chrome updates, so I simply tried unínstalling Chrome updates and restarted my phone.
That fixed it, now it doesn't automatically turn on speakerphone unless I tap the speakerphone icon and I can share in landscape mode. Just make sure that you don't have apps to auto update in the Play store app.
A guess is that there's something in Sense 5.5 (or other software parts on the HTC One) that doesn't like the newer Chrome updates (or newer Chrome not liking Sense 5.5/etc) , not sure what it is though.
Disable Chrome, and install Chrome Beta. This apparently works, haven't tested it myself yet.

ANVIL Documentary To Premiere At SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
According to Variety.com, "Anvil! The True Story of Anvil", a mockumentary-like true account of fiftysomething Canadian heavy-metal practitioners Robb Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow who, after a desultory European tour with their band ANVIL, decide to record a 13th album in a final attempt to fulfill their boyhead dreams of stardom, will debut in the Premieres section of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, which runs January 17-27, 2008, in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah.
Regarding the documentary footage — which was filmed and directed by Sacha Gervasi, who worked as writer on the Steven Spielberg-directed movie "The Terminal" (2004) — Lips told Total Rock in April 2006, "There's been some moments I wished that [the cameras] weren't there. I even had to say, 'You've gotta shut the thing off right now because I'm gonna lose my temper and I don't think that needs to be on film.' [Laughs] [It's very easy to forget that the cameras are there] and you could say things that you really shouldn't say."
Sacha is an old friend of the band's that used to do some roadie work for them back in the 1980s. He has filmed some of their shows from their November 2005 and June 2006 European tours. He also filmed Lips' 50th birthday show at Heads or Tails in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada on February 25, 2006. As well, he filmed some of the recording of "This Is Thirteen". Sacha also interviewed many people from ANVIL's past and present, including former bandmembers.
Metal Fanzine conducted a behind-the-scenes interview with Lips at the "Metal On Metal 25th Anniversary Concert" on September 15, 2007 at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio. The 21-minute clip — which includes performance footage from the show — can be viewed below.
ANVIL has made its new album, "This Is Thirteen", available for order in a limited edition of 1,000 copies directly from the band. Make payment of $20 plus $5.00 for shipping (certified check or money order) out to R&R Enterprises and send to:
Anvil Metal Pounders Union (Local 666)

Being a veteran in voice and data infrastructure, I have seen many advancements in the corridor that delivers highspeed data. I have watched the transition from distributed computing to PC/Server based systems. This, in some ways, was a deregulation of the commercial technology industry where proprietary protocols and connectors became obsolete. Today, we are watching that same principal apply to industrial technologies, TELCO and even the Transportation market.
Although the Traffic market has its own challenges with respect to protocol independence and small stream data delivery, the need for high speed data delivery and mission critical reliability is extremely apparent. Cross agency data share, autonomous vehicles, incident detection, video and real time performance measures demand that existing communications infrastructure be reevaluated. It is imperative to accomodate the rapidly changing analytics and informational needs of cities around the wolrd.
It is increasingly important to build eco-partnerships with companies who can be responsible for more of the infrastructure "pie". Those who design, engineer and manufacture complete OSP solutions and provide design and layout assistance will save you time and money. What if that same company could provide an engineered solution to include commercial, industrial or controlled enclosures, low voltage buildouts, power, conditioning and battery backup systems? What if that company had the resources and relationships necessary to go beyond and include third party products within the framework of a turnkey style application? Well, this is exactly what we do at Multilink.
Multilink was created and driven by the communication infrastructure needs of the CATV and TELCO markets over 35 years ago. Today, we have become a leader in OSP and Premise FTTX products and have enclosures/cabinets for any application imaginable. Due to the need for reliability in these markets, we manufactured a very complete line of Battery Backup Systems to include both line interactive and double conversion models. Our turnkey systems include enclosures, power panels, fans, lights and IP based power deliver systems with I/O and relay capabilities. In 2013, we took these proven products and engineered them to comply in accordance with NEMA, CALTRANS and TS2 certifications required in the transportation industry. Our enclosures and battery backup systems have been approved in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Ohio and many other states.
The Life Saver Roof is a staple across our lineup of cabinets. It was developed with the sole purpose of keeping the interior of the cabinet cooler. Outperforming the competition by 15°F-20°F allows for significant advantages. Protecting electronic equipment and easy maintenance save significant time and cost. Designed to meet UL and CSA standards. If the Multilink® Life Saver Roof is not protecting your equipment then nothing is truly protecting it.
With remote deployment and use in Department of Transportation and Intelligent Traffic Systems in mind, the Smart Tracker Outlet Strip is designed to provide 8 resettable outlets for any piece of equipment that may be attached to the Smart Tracker.

For finance and accounting consultants and executives alike, conference attendance is a key aspect of continuing education and networking throughout the year. However, industry conferences can also be rather costly to attend, which is why it is important to make the most of your time in this environment. Joshua Steimle, CEO of MWI, a search engine optimization (SEO) firm, and author of Don Loper, a blog dedicated to business and entrepreneurship, web design and SEO optimization, shares with us the lessons that he has learned during his time as both a conference attendee and presenter over the years.
1. Leave work at the office.
Perhaps the most important rule of attending a conference is to attend it not just physically, but mentally as well. With technology, it is too easy to sit through a wonderful keynote and hear none of it because you are checking email, sending emails, looking at the news, texting, reading voicemail transcriptions or downloading apps.
Technology has also enhanced my conference experiences by allowing me to take better notes, record video, take photos and instantly share key thoughts and ideas with my office which I might have otherwise forgotten before getting back to the office. But for those who can't muster the discipline to pay attention, leaving the gadgets at the office or in the hotel room might be good advice.
It's all too easy to rush to a conference and not look at the agenda until arriving. Then, too late, one notices that they haven't brought the right business cards, or a certain printout, or a gift. Earlier this week, I attended a conference on doing business in China. I happen to have had several large bags of expensive chocolate with my company brand on them. I could have brought these to the conference and have given them to presenters, which would have helped them to remember me when I wanted to follow up later, but I was in a rush, and didn't think about it until I was already at the event. Thankfully, I remembered to bring my Chinese business cards.
In addition, by planning ahead one can have questions ready for question and answer sessions, rather than just coming up with something in the moment, which may or may not be the most important question you need answered.
3. Focus on others when networking.
There is a strong temptation to tell everyone about you when networking. Somehow you feel like you've got to slip in something about what you do here and there, because maybe, just maybe, someone will hear it and you'll end up with a deal. Try this next time you're in a networking situation—forget yourself and your business and focus entirely on whomever you're speaking with. Look into their eyes, listen and don't get distracted thinking about what you'll say after they finish their next sentence.
When you do think about something other than what the person is telling you, think about to whom you could introduce the person you're speaking with in a way that might foster a mutually beneficial relationship.
I have a friend who does this every time I see her. She was at the China conference I just attended, and within 30 seconds of seeing me she was pulling me by the arm saying "Josh, you've got to meet so and so over here..." She then introduced me to another five or six people, some of whom I will meet within the coming days. How does that make me feel about my friend? I would do anything for her, and it makes me think about what I can do for her, since she has done so much for me.
There is much more you can do to improve your conference experience, but hopefully these tips will get you off to a good start, or serve as a reminder of what you already know you should be doing.

The conspiracy of the millennium…What you don't know about terrorism…the untold story.
"When we explore the political and financial connections of the terrorists, we find that these are not merely wayward fanatics operating in isolation, but that their channels penetrate to the upper reaches of power, in the governments of developed and developing countries, and outward into the nether regions of the occult and criminal underworlds. The terrorist organisations across the world are shadows created by a 'mega conspiracy' operating from the criminal/occultic underworld. This is the conspiracy of the millennium."
Just for the sake of people who are new to the theories of conspiracy…The world have witnessed about 33 popular theories of conspiracy which turned out to be true ranging from The Mafia (a secret crime society which was virtually unknown until the 1960s, when member Joe Valachi first revealed the society's secrets to law enforcement officials. What was known was that organised crime existed, but not that the extent of their control included working with the CIA, politicians and the biggest businesses in the world.)
And then the
Operation Mockingbird: (Also in the 1950s to '70s, a conspiracy theory that the CIA paid a number of well-known domestic and foreign journalists (from big-name media outlets like Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CBS and others) to publish CIA propaganda. The CIA also reportedly funded at least one movie, the animated "Animal Farm," by George Orwell. The Church Committee finally exposed the activities in 1975.)
Nigeria's President has confirmed that the Nigerian chapter of the terrorist network has penetrated his cabinet(There's more to that statement than our minds could understand).
The millennium is witnessing an 'unexposed', 'undisclosed' and 'unsuspected' conspiracy…as a result, the target of the conspirators lies vague yet while the entire world weep helplessly at the cruel execution of their anti-mankind conspiracy.
***Let our minds query the recent orchestration of terrorism in the nations…Let our spirits dig deeper far beyond our eyes can see and our minds could perceive***

Princess Charlotte Arrives for Her First Day of Nursery School
See the adorable photos Duchess Kate took of her daughter with her backpack on, ready to go!
By Caroline Hallemann
Duchess of Cambridge/Getty Images
Princess Charlotte is growing up so fast! Today is the young royal's first day of nursery school. To mark the occasion, Kensington Palace released photos taken by Duchess Kate of two-year-old Charlotte.
They're quite similar to the ones taken of Prince George by his mother when he started Westacre Montessori School back in 2016.
She'll be attending The Willcocks Nursery School, a program that is very close to Kensington Palace and describes itself as a "traditional nursery school which strives to maintain its ethos for high standards, excellence and good manners." It costs roughly $12,000 for a full year of tuition.
"We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the Willcocks Nursery School for Princess Charlotte," read a statement from the program late last year. "We look forward to welcoming Charlotte to our nursery in January."
The school's spring term actually kicked off last week, but the royals were still on their Christmas holiday. Charlotte's brother Prince George also goes back to school this week.

New media? Yes. New marketing? Nah.
For me the whole power around new media is that it allows brands to spend more time with their consumers than ever before, in a much easier fashion. It allows consumers to be a lot more vocal which makes it easier to listen and to learn – if you care (which you should obviously). Every day more companies start using new media and this way experiencing a totally new consumer engagement.
While Gizmodo reports on their 'lonely' Second Life visit to to the virtual CEBIT area of Sony Ericcson, it's not the people-empty space that I found stunning. Of course it's no use to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for an empty house, what bothers me is that the approach Sony Ericcson takes here is no different from a classic billboard. This is not about building relationships, joining conversations, … this is about creating a temporary place for you to come and listen to them. Until CEBIT is over. This is exactly what I mean with traditional marketing in the new media space. Sony Ericcson, you can do better than that.
Does any of you have more examples of new media being used in a very traditional way? I'd love to hear about it.

The Express Tribune > Pakistan
Analysis: A sting operation?
A serious confrontation could be developed between the security institutions and the political government.
By Muhammad Ziauddin
Haqqani resigns, PM orders investigation.
If I know Hussain Haqqani, I don't think this is curtains for him. I have found him to be a great survivor. However, let me digress a little and recall another incident here to give a context to the ensuing developments.
When Raymond Davis, an American with dubious diplomatic credentials, was caught red-handed killing two Pakistanis in broad daylight in Lahore and then proceeded against under the law of the land, all the three branches of the US government closed ranks and came to his defence with one voice certifying the questionable immunity of a mole known to be a CIA contractor.
Now let us compare this cohesive US response to a decidedly open and shut case with that of Pakistan's bizarre position in the still to be investigated Memogate case with most of us baying for the blood of an accredited diplomat. What was the need for the hyped-up and well-publicised troika meetings at the presidency? Why was an officer of Gen. Shuja Pasha's rank sent to London to meet a dubious US character to investigate the matter? And why the thundering silence of the security chiefs on Sunday and Monday following Haqqani's arrival in Islamabad. All this provided the 'desired' grist to the rumour mill that a serious confrontation has developed between the security institutions and the political government adding to the fears of an impending covert or overt army takeover. Inspired perhaps by Mansoor Ijaz's claim that the ISI chief after their meeting in London had fallen for his story hook, line and sinker, the 'ghairat brigade' in the establishment and the media was back in action in full force. The brigade appears convinced that Haqqani has compromised Pakistan's 'ghairat' by requesting through a still to be verified memo delivered by a US citizen to a retiring US military general to allegedly help the civilian government in cutting the army and ISI to size and bringing our nuclear assets under the 'protective custody' of Washington.
I am no admirer of Mr. Haqqani's modus operandi. And notwithstanding some of his sterling achievements in his career I think our relations with Washington tumbled down to the very bottom during his three-year tenure. I know him since the days when as a youthful journalist he had become very close to the then military dictator, Gen. Ziaul Haq. His political flip-flops are legendary. As a member of the Islami Jamiat-i-Tulba (student wing of Jamat-i-Islami), he was elected as the president of Karachi University's student union in 1979-80. After Gen. Zia's demise he first joined forces with Nawaz, before switching over to Benazir Bhutto.
After her second ouster, he is said to have applied for the top information job in the Musharraf regime. Having been rebuffed by one of the dictator's minions, he set sail for the US, where he made it really good for himself and made his services available to Ms. Bhutto and her spouse for developing contacts in Washington and networking with the top US leadership. He was therefore, a natural choice of the government for the ambassadorial job in the US when the PPP-led coalition came to power after the 2008 elections.
But I was intrigued because in his book, Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military he had said things about the army which I thought the institution would find impossible to forget and forgive. So, I asked him when I met him in London soon after he was nominated for the job. He did not deny resistance from powerful circles back in Rawalpindi to his appointment but declared in his typical nonchalant manner that he could take care of the challenges on this front.
I have never written about Mr. Haqqani either critically or in praise, though I have been one of his bitter critics to his face. But to his credit, he has always taken my criticism with his characteristic poise and never failed to greet me with extra warmth whenever we met. But I always found it difficult to match his warmth half suspecting his sincerity.
Still, I don't think the former ambassador deserved the kind of treatment that has been meted out to him by the 'ghairat brigade' within our establishment and the media. Even if all the allegations that are being levelled against him by an ordinary US citizen are true I would have preferred to send Gen. Pahsa to Washington to meet Haqqani or awaited his return to Pakistan to get his version first rather than make the spy chief go all the way to London to meet Ijaz who according to Mr. Bruce Riedal, former CIA officer has a "long record of fabricating false information and self promotion". This very act of Gen. Pasha has by default given a measure of respectability to Ijaz's version of the episode and made Mr. Haqqani's position suspect in the eyes of unsuspecting masses.
Such matters should never be the concern of the security establishment in the first place. They are better left to the civilian government to sort out. And the 'ghairat brigade' needs to stop frothing at the mouth and stop crying wolf at the drop of a hat.

It was a sting operation….from AZ & HH….against the state, its army, our nuclear assets….we pakistanis want a civilian set up to lead the country and are against army intervention in politics… but there is too much here to be put under the carpet saying the man has views against the role of army in civilian affairs…so he can take a solo flight what he thinks it correct.
In my view Pakistan by disgracing its own Ambassador has disgraced itself/
Arshed Ali Khan
My short commet is, Hussain Haqqani is another SAHEED of this period.

@Pundit:
Why do you feel the need to write in every news article my Indian friend. Don't you have any thing else to do. Please leave us. Thank you!!
Karachite
This is the best commentary on the issue I have seen till date.
Kamil Bangash
Although I never liked Mr. Haqqani, I totally agree with the observations of Muhammad Ziauddin. A well balanced article. Thanks.
Adeel759
Now, would they recommend each other for Nishan-E-Haider.
Mr Ziadudin. I disagree with you thoughts. I am not a supporter of establishments but I have great concern on the way the civil government has reacted on this matter. I think this issue is started one month before but we didn't see any response from the civil government on this matter. First they ignored it but when the media started highlighting the issue the establishment had to come on front to handle this issue. And whats wrong is here if Shuja mate with the mansoor ijaz first, because he has to check the evidence against Haqqani.
Thanks….Recommend
A game is all this is… ISI wants Imran ,MQM and Q League…
Starved for truth
Spot on! This writer is good and bold. Thanks ET.
H.A. Khan
Hussain Haqqani crossed the red line of diplomacy and worked against his own country.
He could not have initiated this article on his own……let the person who OKed the text also be charged with high treason. Let their be a open trial and people of the country know how they are being let down at highest level
So, he resigns and he walks free? Is that the deal? If he is guilty he should be put behind bars…
ihtisham
@Imran: Why r u bringing imran in this matter. Did imran tell the govt. to write a memo. Despite all the differences with the Govt, Imran has said it on the record on a no of occasions that PTI will support the govt in case of an army quo & will strictly oppose the army rule. Imran does not need the support of the army, he has got the support of 180 million pakistanis.
It's not about the Ghairat Brigade as the writer makes it out to be. It's also not about Haqqani being treated fairly or not. As a player the ex ambassador knew the risks involved in being the presidant's man in Washington. In the great game once the ball gets rolling it has to reach some destination whether it was the intended destination or some other. If the conspiracy theorist are to be believed and this was some kind of a sting operation to get Zardari then he very cleverly has sacrificed his bishop to save the king. It remains to be seen if in the coming days this sacrifice would be enough to save his neck or not.
ASAF RAI KHAN
I would like to point it out that ISI is one of the most respected and feared spy agencies in the world and it is headed by a Gen Pasha .The very fact that he travelled to meet ijaz shows us the importance and the sensitivity of the matter.This is the same Gen who in one of the high profile meeting with a top Usa security official had the guts to say that 'His boss is ALLAH and not America." He knows damn well how to deal with a matter concerning our national security.There is really something fishy about the memo and every effort should be made to take it to its logical end .let us all wait patiently until the truth is out .Recommend
@Proud Baloch:
Pls react to the content of what I write and not to the frequency of my writing.
Thats what an educated person would do.
Otherwise pls clsoe your eyes when u see my writing.
Mr Ziauddin, please tell us how you manage to hold any faith in this civilian government. Recommend
let it be no joke, 3 year extension of Kayani is not enough for him. He has tasted power with Musharaf. It was Gen Kayani behind Musharaf that helped Musharaf rule. Now the military gang wants to undermine the democracy once again.
Bur our problem is two fold. The civilian government has not show their mettle too.
Nov 23, 2011 - 10:49AM
The people of Pakistan just want a fair trial.
Saira Maryum
To me it should not be a drop scene, haqqai's resign is not an issue what important is the STORY behind all this …So an open trial should be taken place to analyse the credibility of the controversy and I am sure soon we will come to know that haqqani is just a scapegoat ,,, mastermind of this drama is someone else!!!
Ghaznavi
@ Pundit
We can send Haqqani to India where you can give him the highest Indian medal and make him a hero in the next bollywood flick against Pakistan.
As i always say, Indians are obsessed with Pakistan – this is the main impediment in Pak-India friendly relations and your case is a true example of this unending obsession. Recommend
Sting operation or not – The man got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It's like carrying out a sting operation against a drug dealer and then blaming the DEA/Narcotics Force for carrying out the sting operation.

HH is a fall guy….he had to be sacrificed to save the govt from domino effect…..Recommend

Hussain Haqqani's resignation proves that he does not want to hurt the democratic process and be in the way of elected govt. Gen Mush wanted to be buried in his uniform and post, so this resignation is novel for Pakistani people. If the establishment thinks that they have seen the last of Hussain Haqqani, they are sadly mistaken. Hussain Haqqani would be a voice for the people of Pakistan and democracy in the USA as well as Pakistan. If anything, the resignation would enhance his reputation in the world media.
Mansoor Ijaz sharing the evidence with Gen Pasha of the ISI makes Ijaz's motives suspect. Was this done because Ijaz was already close to the ISI? Did Gen Pasha's visit sway his position and motive?
Meekal Ahmed
Of course no one knows whether he resigned or was asked to resign.
But he did offer to resign even before he reached Pakistan — if I am not mistaken.

Memogate: Ambassador out, but controversy rages on


One of my Dell server was facing faulty drive issue, which I can see in vsphere client > esxi server on the hardware status tab. To send the Dset report logs to Dell support it requires Dell openmanage tool installed or view additional information (As my server was older one it is missing some new feature, link in new Dell servers you can generate a report from Drac as well). Unfortunately I didn't have installed Dell openmanage agent on the server. As Dell openmange agent installation requires reboot and I couldn't do it because of standalone esxi host and some mid-critical vms are running and pick hour is going on. After contacting Dell support, I came to know Hard drive and controller related information can be pulled using other software (vendor micron) link http://docs.avagotech.com/docs/12351437, Main thing is, it doesn't require reboot, and the file format is .vib extention (no need to exctract it, this is not offline software bundle), this is called storcli software (another software I found is megacli). After troubleshooting on the installation and generating reports I thought it is worth documenting the process I followed for later use.
Next step require to open SSH on Esxi server which can be enabled using security profile. My requirement was to install vib file on the esxi server (Not the zip offline bundle package), and no reboot of the server, I had already uploaded VIB file on esxi under /tmp folder using winscp tool, It can also be done using vsphere client, upload to datastore. Next I tried highlighted commands but it was showing error.
No VIBs specified with -n/--vibname or -v/--viburl.
But when checking below command it shows additional parameters, This VIB file has some signature and esxi is not able to validate it, so it needs to be skip using additional parameter --no-sig-check, even though the software acceptance level is VMware certified, it checking software siganature and failing.
you need to disable HA first.
-d|--depot=[ <str> ... ] Specifies full remote URLs of the depot index.xml or server file path pointing to an offline bundle .zip file.
--dry-run Performs a dry-run only. Report the VIB-level operations that would be performed, but do not change anything in the system.
-f|--force Bypasses checks for package dependencies, conflicts, obsolescence, and acceptance levels. Really not recommended unless you know what you are doing. Use of this option will result in a warning being displayed in the vSphere Client.
--maintenance-mode Pretends that maintenance mode is in effect. Otherwise, installation will stop for live installs that require maintenance mode. This flag has no effect for reboot required remediations.
--no-live-install Forces an install to /altbootbank even if the VIBs are eligible for live installation or removal. Will cause installation to be skipped on PXE-booted hosts.
--no-sig-check Bypasses acceptance level verification, including signing. Use of this option poses a large security risk and will result in a SECURITY ALERT warning being displayed in the vSphere Client.
--proxy=<str> Specifies a proxy server to use for HTTP, FTP, and HTTPS connections. The format is proxy-url:port.
-n|--vibname=[ <str> ... ] Specifies VIBs from a depot, using one of the following forms: name, name:version, vendor:name, or vendor:name:version.
-v|--viburl=[ <str> ... ] Specifies one or more URLs to VIB packages to install. http:, https:, ftp:, and file: are all supported.
I ran the same command with below additional parameter and it was successful. and note, reboot is not required.
I can verify software is installed successfuly using command esxcli software vib list.


Author Supplied Abstract This qualitative research study is designed to describe how to plan an effective English Language Development (ELD) block for English language learners (ELL) through the use of structured talk time. Students who are considered ELL have to learn both content and language during ELD time. ELLs need to be able to use the language and content knowledge that they are learning across various school settings. Statistics show the importance of raising the English language level of our ELLs in order to improve academic proficiency. This study asks the question: How will the use of structured talk time advance the academic language development of English language learners? The two strategies highlighted in this study are known as Turn and Talk and Think-Pair-Share. Eight kindergarten ELLs in a Dual Language Immersion classroom will be the participants for this study. Data will be collected during the ELD block through the use of interviews, observation notes, a participation checklist, and a graphic organizer. The purpose of this study is to find more successful conversational strategies to use with my ELLs during ELD time that will make them more successful in acquiring and using the content and language that they are learning.
