Regardless of all the violations of human rights and the intention of the military to stay in power and continue to keep Egypt messed up, the Obama administration approved the military aid to Egypt recently.
Not surprisingly, Camp David treaty is the main reason why there's no reason to question the Military Aid. The only reason they thought about questioning it was the incident of holding a bunch of Americans hostage in Cairo by the military, who then flew back home and left the Egyptians working with them in trouble .
"President Obama, Mrs. Clinton and other senior officials explicitly warned Egypt's military leaders that the aid this year was at risk because of the prosecution of the American-financed organizations, which include Freedom House, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute. The case, which began in December, continues, though Egyptian authorities, under intense pressure from the administration, lifted a travel ban on the seven American employees of the groups. The individuals were allowed to depart after the groups paid nearly $4 million in bail. "
There's absolutely nothing in their statements or comments about the military running over people by APCs and tanks made in the U.S.
Nothing about military trials for over than 16,000 civilians since Jan 28th 2011 without any legal support.
Nothing about "virginity tests" on female protesters and setting the criminals who did it free.
Nothing about attacking peaceful protests, evacuating protest camps forcibly, shooting kids in their eyes and killing hundreds of protesters by life ammunition and tear gas also made in the U.S.
While it's all available online, many people still wonder and don't know much about the Military Aid to Egypt and the strong/strategic mil-mil relationship between the Egyptian military and the U.S.
I found this Q/A article that sums it all up (published Jan 2011) and wanted to keep these facts here in my blog as a reference and for the historical record to let Americans know what their government is doing with their education and health care money.
Egypt gets the most U.S. foreign aid of any country except for Israel. (This doesn't include the money spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.) The amount varies each year and there are many different funding streams, but U.S. foreign assistance to Egypt has averaged just over $2 billion every year since 1979, when Egypt struck a peace treaty with Israel following the Camp David Peace Accords, according to a Congressional Research Service report from 2009.
That average includes both military and economic assistance, though the latter has been in decline since 1998, according to CRS.
What about military aid—how much is it, and what does it buy?
According to the State Department, U.S. military aid to Egypt totals over $1.3 billion annually in a stream of funding known as Foreign Military Financing.
U.S. officials have long argued that the funding promotes strong ties between the two countries' militaries, which in turn has all sorts of benefits. For example, U.S. Navy warships get "expedited processing" through the Suez Canal.
The military funding also enables Egypt to purchase U.S.-manufactured military goods and services, a 2006 report from the Government Accountability Office explained [PDF]. The report criticized both the State Department and the Defense Department for failing to measure how the funding actually contributes to U.S. goals.
The administration of former president George W. Bush had threatened to link military assistance to Egypt's human rights progress, but it didn't follow through. When exiled Egyptian dissident, Saad Eddin Ibrahim, called on the U.S. government to attach conditions to aid to Egypt, U.S. officials dismissed the idea as unrealistic.
Who benefits from the military aid?
Obviously the aid benefits Egypt's military and whatever government it supports, which has so far been Mubarak's. Foreign military financing is a great deal for Egypt—it gets billions in no-strings-attached funding to modernize its armed forces and replace old Soviet weapons with advanced U.S. weaponry and military equipment.
According to the State Department, that equipment has included fighter jets, tanks, armored personnel carriers, Apache helicopters, anti-aircraft missile batteries and aerial surveillance aircraft.
Egypt can purchase this equipment either through the U.S. military or directly from U.S. defense contractors, and it can do so on credit. In 2006, the GAO noted that Egypt had entered some defense contracts in advance of—and in excess of—its military assistance appropriations. Some of those payments wouldn't be due in full until 2011, the GAO said.
The other group that benefits from this aid arrangement is U.S. defense contractors. As we reported with Sunlight Foundation, contractors including BAE Systems, General Dynamics, General Electric, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin have all done business with the Egyptian government through relationships facilitated by high-powered DC lobbyists.
U.S. economic aid to Egypt has declined over the years, but is generally in the hundreds of millions annually.
Others were not as successful. A 2006 inspector general's audit of a 4-year, $57-million project to increase jobs and rural household incomes found that the U.S. investment "has not increased the number of jobs as planned" among participants [PDF]. A 2009 audit of a $151 million project to modernize Egypt's financial sector found that while the country's real estate finance market experienced significant growth throughout the project's duration, USAID's efforts were "not clearly measurable" [PDF] and the growth could be due to market forces or the Egyptian government's actions.
Critics of the Obama administration's economic aid to Egypt have noted that in 2007, for instance, such aid only amounted to $6 per capita, compared with the $40.80 per capita spent on Jordan that same year. Ahmad El-Naggar, economic researcher at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, criticized the U.S. in 2009 for focusing on "programs valued for strict ideological reasons," and not on the country's growing poverty and unemployment rate—two issues fueling the current protests.
What about funding for democracy promotion and civil society?
The Government of Egypt has resisted USAID/Egypt's democracy and governance program and has suspended the activities of many U.S. NGOs because Egyptian officials thought these organizations were too aggressive.
Per the Egyptian government's complaints, the U.S. now limits its funding to NGOs registered with the government, therefore excluding most human rights groups, Huffington Post reported. Such funding has also declined sharply under the Obama administration.
You are responsible and we can't deal with your government's problems in Egypt anymore because we have exhausted all the available solutions.
It's your time to do something.

Christoph Metzler von Andelberg (* 1490 in Feldkirch; † 11. September 1561 in Meersburg) war Bischof von Konstanz von 1548 bis 1561.

Familie
Christoph Metzler stammte aus der Ehe des Feldkircher Stadtammanns Johannes Metzler. Seine Schwester Margaretha war verheiratet mit dem Churer Bürgermeister Johannes Carl von Hohenbalken. Sein Bruder war Bartholomäus Metzler. Er war Domherr zu Konstanz und Chur, ab 1589 Domkantor in Konstanz und von 1576 bis 1601 Propst des Stiftes St. Stephan in Konstanz.

Leben
Metzler studierte zusammen mit Bartholomäus Bernhardi von 1504 bis 1506 an der neu gegründeten Leucorea in Wittenberg. 1507 wechselte er an die damalige Albertina in Freiburg im Breisgau. Am 9. Dezember 1518 wurde er an der Universitas Bononiensis zum Doctor theologiae und zum Doctor iuris utriusque promoviert. Er war Generalvikar im Bistum Chur und Leiter der Domschule. 1527 wurde er Regent des Domstifts. Nach einer Aufruhr und seiner Flucht aus Chur wurde er 1529 Offizial und Generalvikar der Diözese Konstanz in unruhigen Zeiten. Das Konstanzer Domkapitel flüchtete nach Aufständen und der Pest zunächst nach Überlingen, ab 1542 mit Weihbischof Melchior Fattlin nach Radolfzell. Nach der Schlacht bei Mühlberg 1547 wurde das widerstehende Konstanz auf Anordnung von Kaiser Karl V. mit Waffengewalt eingenommen.

Nach dem überraschenden Tode von Bischof Johannes von Weeze auf dem Reichstag zu Augsburg wurde Christoph Metzler am 2. Juli 1548 in Radolfzell zum Bischof von Konstanz gewählt. Papst Paul III. bestätigte die Wahl am 1. Oktober 1548. Die Bischofsweihe spendete ihm in Augsburg Bischof Otto Kardinal von Waldburg.

Metzler war zudem Herr der Reichenau und Kommissar in der Causa Brandenburg gegen Fränkische Einung und 1555/56 kaiserlicher Sequester der Markgrafschaft Brandenburg-Kulmbach.

Er war Teilnehmer der Zweiten Sitzungsperiode des Konzils von Trient (1551/52) und war vielbeachteter Konzilredner. Er gilt als Auftraggeber der Chormalerei im Münster St. Maria und Markus auf der Reichenau. 1560 erschien unter seiner Herausgeberschaft "Obsequiale, Simul ac Benedictionale, iuxta ritum [e]t normam Ecclesiae [e]t Episcopatus Constantiensis.",123 S., gedruckt in Ingolstadt bei den Brüdern Alexander und Samuel Weißenhorn.

Nach der Ernennung zum Kardinal am 26. Februar 1561 wurde Markus Sittikus in einem zweiten Anlauf mit Hilfe Roms durch Papst Pius IV. – Clara Medicea, die Mutter von Markus Sittikus, war die Schwester des Papstes – sowie durch Unterstützung von Kaiser Ferdinand I. dem "frommen" Metzler als Koadjutor zur Seite gestellt. Ein erster Versuch scheiterte 1560 am Widerstand von Domkapitel, Stiftsadel und der Eidgenossenschaft.

Christoph Metzler starb in der alten bischöflichen Residenz Meersburg und wurde im Chorraum der katholischen Pfarrkirche von Meersburg beigesetzt. Die Folge-Pfarrkirche wurde 1827 bis 1829 erbaut und die sterblichen Überreste von Christoph Metzler sowie Franz Konrad Kardinal von Rodt und Maximilian Christoph von Rodt wie Hugo von Hohenlandenberg und Johann Georg von Hallwyl in das Gruftgewölbe in der Nähe des Eingangs umgebettet.

Immediately after I was released from the hospital, we went to celebrate Shane's 20th reunion at the Air Force Academy. Twenty years have flown by. In twenty years, we moved around twelve times (thirteen if you count extended TDYs)– Minnesota to Colorado Springs to Oklahoma to New Mexico (me) and Louisiana (him) to North Dakota (both) to Germany to North Dakota to Virginia to Ohio to Florida to Colorado Springs. We have survived five years of separation, and four deployments (two combat). And now we are back where it all began.
Thursday, we went to Antlers, a local hotel, and picked up our tickets. One thing about the reunion is it's quite expensive (the tune of $900!). The registration alone was $100 each. It included a dinner and free drinks on Thursday night. There we met up with friends we hadn't seen in years. I found out that several people Shane sang with in Catholic Choir were living here locally. It was so nice to see people I hadn't seen in 20 years, and being asked to come hang out!
On Friday, we went to the actual Academy and toured it. We went to Shane's old squadron. Talked to the cadets. We learned interesting statistics about the new class. The greatest statistic was the cadet class in 1997 was only 10% female, while the cadet class in 2021 is 30% female! It was so nice to see such a change in environment at the Academy. Most of the women at the academy are studying STEMM majors. So it's not just "fuzzy" majors. These women are going to be the future leaders in Engineering and Math career fields.
We also found out that Shane's boss in Florida, General Silvaria is now the Superintendent at the Air Force Academy. It was nice to see him and his wife again.
At the end of the day we went to the memorial service. There were several deaths in the four reunion classes (1972, 1992, 1997, and 2007). They read the names of the deceased this year (including one senior) in each class. Played Taps, and the Missing Man formation of A-10s. The clouds have begun to roll in, and the angels began to cry during the formation. It was beautiful and sad at the same time. There was one guy in Shane's class that died this year in combat. It made this ceremony extra special, as the family was there to lay roses on his name. There was not a dry eye in the crowd.
At the end of the ceremony, I caught this nice fellow watching with his friend. He is a PTSD service dog, who was attending with a 2007 graduate. It's a stark reminder of the sacrifices that living veterans are making. It has changed my attitude about being a veteran. I am considered a disabled veteran, and for years I was not proud of my service. I didn't deploy. When I left the service I got someone else's going away gift, and I felt like I didn't sacrifice. But recognizing those that did make the ultimate sacrifice, and seeing the PTSD dog made me feel blessed, that even though I have service connected cancer, I did experience what my husband and other vets have experienced.
The weekend ended with the football game. I don't have any pictures from this event. I brought my camera, but decided to put it back in the car. The game was a close one, but our Falcons could not pull it out in the end. Anyway, the kids, Shane, and I went to the class tailgate, where we met a friend from both Shane's squadron AND pilot training, Ryan. Turns out Ryan is a published author, so I got his card to discuss with him how to get published (I have kind of decided to publish my book as a collection of short stories and novellas). When we got to our seats, it started raining. The rain started out lightly, then the wind picked up, and by 9:00 minutes into the game, it was 48-degrees, with driving rain, and 30 mph winds. We watched the Falcons score first, and then we decided to leave.
As we left, my son, decided to hit every puddle. We got home, fired up the fireplaces, and turned on the game. Luckily we left, as the game was on an 80-minute lightening delay. We flipped from various Big Ten games, drank hot chocolate, and ate chips and dip. All-in-all we really enjoyed ourselves at the reunion.
In July we went camping. It was our first Colorado camping trip and we had a great time. We went to Eleven Mile State Park. I don't even know how to describe where it is, but it's on the other side of Pike's Peak. The reservoir runs along a river fed by snow melt. The lake has Northern Pike, Salmon, Trout, Bass, and Crawdaddies.
Yes, that's right Crawdaddies, Mudbugs, or crawfish, the little red delights that are often found in the French Quarter on Mardi Gras. They were in season when we got there. Some of the park rangers were having a weekend seafood boil. We were surprised to say the least. Unfortunately, our boat is broken, and Shane had to take it to the shop after we got home.
While the kids and Shane went fishing, I walked around camp, and took some pictures of camp. I found one of the Colorado Springs Rocks. The staff from a beauty salon in town had hidden rocks throughout the park. There were a lot of song birds too. The top two pictures posed for me on the picnic table. The other bird and rabbit were regular visitors to our campsite.
And flowers galore! We took hikes on the third day through the pine and birch trails. I have traded tropical flowers for wild flowers. Succulents, red poisonous berries, and other fragrant flowers.
And of course a new toy. I sucked it up and bought a super wide angel lens. It took perfect pictures of the landscapes around our camp. I could get full mountains without turning my camera all sorts of different directions. I still haven't figured out astrophotography. But hopefully I will be able to take pics when I get out of the hospital.
And we had our security system. She LOVED sleeping outside, and getting in touch with her wild side (chasing ground squirrels and birds). Thor didn't pose for me. He would walk up to me every time I put up my camera. The only time I can get a good picture of him is if I am at the end of the yard, and he's running towards me.

How a health insurance retail store fulfills its business promise
by Dina Overland |
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee says its brick-and-mortar retail store has fulfilled its business promise and provided consumers with several benefits, reported the Nashville Business Journal.
When the Tennessee Blues insurer considered opening a retail store in Nashville, it was taking an unusual step in 2012, FierceHealthPayer previously reported. Since then, several insurers, including UnitedHealth, have set up stores in shopping centers across the country.
Operating the retail store has been an "enlightening experience," Carla Raynor, vice president of strategic marketing for Blue Cross, told the Business Journal. "It really has helped us be even more consumer-friendly and more competitive in understanding market dynamics."
Blue Cross originally intended the retail store primarily to be an information center, allowing employees to answer existing members' questions and help nonmembers with any assistance needed to buy plans. Raynor said the store's employees also handled questions about the state's Medicaid program.
The retail center met its internal sign-up goal. What's more, about 60 percent of all the retail visitors weren't already Blue Cross members, Raynor said, giving the insurer the opportunity to talk to prospective consumers.
Overall, the retail store has "definitely proved its business case" for Blue Cross, Raynor said--but the insurer hasn't drawn any definitive conclusions regarding its future. Along with the retail store, Blue Cross has a truck that travels throughout Tennessee offering a mobile retail experience that is part of a three-year pilot, which will help the insurer learn what steps work.
Blue Cross isn't without competition. Several insurers, including UnitedHealth, plus brokerage and advisory firms like Cowan Benefits and Bernard Health operate their own retail centers in the Nashville area, noted Business Journal.
Meanwhile, Florida Blue plans to open three integrated care facilities in South Florida, mimicking a care model that is says will be familiar to immigrants from Latin America, Kaiser Health News reported.

There is a phenomena that is unique to the world of fine wine that gives some winemakers sleepless nights, sends collectors on quests that are akin to searches for the Holy Grail itself, and provides ample employment opportunities for wine writers and critics alike: Vintage Variation.
For brewers and distillers, achieving consistency in their product is a common and overarching goal. But for producers of fine wines — particularly in cool climates — embracing inconsistency is more the norm. Most espouse the philosophy of "letting the grapes dictate the wine" by emphasizing the attractive characteristics that are presented by a particular vintage.
The primary cause of vintage variation is of course, weather. Some varieties are more prone to reflect the effects of temperature, sunlight and precipitation during the growing season and naturally display more vintage variation than other varieties. For blended wines, the winemaker has the ability to either accentuate or diminish the impact of vintage variation through the addition or subtraction of varieties from the blend as well by changing the relative proportions of each of the varieties used.
One of the best ways to experience the vintage variation phenomena is through a vertical tasting. By tasting different vintages of the same wine, the impact of changes in growing conditions from year to year can often be evident. A second aspect of the wine that can also come through is its ageability. Assuming all of the wines tasted were stored in similar conditions, a vertical tasting can be a good way to experience the evolution of aromas and flavors that take place throughout the wine's life.
I recently had an opportunity to experience the phenomena of vintage variation firsthand with two colleagues from the New York Cork Report's Finger Lakes team. We got together for a vertical tasting of the Ravines Wine Cellars Mertiage, a wine that has been produced by noted winemaker, Morten Hallgren for nearly a decade and a half.
Our spouses joined us in tasting the 2005 through 2011 vintages.
Each of the bottles, with the exception of the 2011 vintage, had been stored in similar cellar conditions. Also, each bottle was opened one or two hours before the tasting.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2005 Meritage (45% cabernet franc, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 23% merlot): The growing season for the 2005 vintage was exceptionally hot, sunny and dry which resulted in a balanced and structured wine. There is an abundance of dark fruit upfront and throughout with notes of tobacco, mushroom, cedar and spices layered in. Tannins are soft and supple and provide a framework for a myriad flavors. Even though this vintage has nearly a decade of aging, none of us noticed any signs of it slowing down. The 2005 was "best in show" for most of us and is proof that high-quality red wines that are capable of graceful aging can be produced in the Finger Lakes.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2006 Meritage (58% cabernet sauvignon, 28% cabernet franc, 14% merlot). A long, cool growing season followed by a wet September culminated in a later-than-usual harvest giving this vintage exceptional flavor and proportion. This vintage also signaled a change to a more Left Bank-style blend with a much higher percentage of cabernet sauvignon employed. Spice and other secondary flavors took a backseat to rich, aromatic fruit. The 2006 also had far fewer layers than the 2005, but a longer finish. The wine had not diminished, but there was some agreement that it might not mature much beyond its current state. This was another example of a well-crafted wine that is capable of aging. It was one taster's favorite, but overall (it) was less preferred by the group than the 2005 and 2007 vintages.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2007 Meritage (62% cabernet sauvignon, 27% cabernet franc, 11% merlot). The 2007 vintage was the product of near-ideal conditions for red wines: mild winter, an unusually hot and dry summer and refreshing showers in August. Nearly perfect conditions persisted until mid-late October allowing the grapes to ripen to ideal levels. The 2007 had a subtle, but effective structure that provided a foundation for juicy and jammy dark fruits like currant, black cherry and plum. This vintage had both depth and length. Notes of spice and herb returned to a more prominent role. This wine showed exceptional development, but still had room to grow before reaching its peak. It was our second favorite vintage tasted and only trailed the 2005.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2008 Meritage (64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc,14% Merlot). Exceptional growing conditions for red grape varieties continued in 2008 with the combination of warm summer days and cool summer nights, followed by warm and dry conditions in September and October. Those conditions allowed the grapes to intensify in aromas and flavors and imparted a clean, pure taste. There is plenty of fruit at the front of this wine, but it is brighter than what is found in previous vintages. Red cherry, raspberry and currant give the wine a much "younger" taste than previous vintages. Some tobacco and spice notes are beginning to show through, but this wine is more subtle than it is complex at this stage of its development. The 2008 is another example of an expertly-crafted wine, but fell more into the middle of the pack for our tasting.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2009 Meritage (64% cabernet sauvignon, 24% cabernet franc, 12% merlot). This vintage was challenged by a wet growing season that lacked consistent warmth and sunshine. But a warm and dry September allowed most varieties to rally although results were somewhat inconsistent. However, this wine tells a different story. While the 2008 vintage was subtle and refined, the 2009 vintage is "in-your-face." It starts with a powerful, but enticing nose that is woven with fruit, spice and earthy aromas. It has the highest level of acidity of the vintages that we tasted which is a perfect complement to the spicy and earthy flavors which otherwise could dominate. Although it was less subtle and lacked the layering of the 2005, it was similar in complexity. In terms of aging, the 2009 was an energetic "twenty-something" with its future still ahead of it.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2010 Meritage (62% cabernet sauvignon, 18% cabernet franc, 20% merlot) A warm, sunny and dry growing season was capped off rain and cooler temperatures in September resulted in more inconsistent results for reds in 2010. Merlot was harvested in early October, but Cabernets had to wait a few more weeks until being ready later in October. The 2010 vintage showed some of potential of what it might offer in the future with hits of cherry, plum and vanilla. But for now, it was primarily tannic and unopened. It was at this point in the tasting that we formed the collective opinion that we might have ventured into vintages that were too young for drinking.
Ravines Wine Cellars 2011 Meritage (72% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot). In 2011, growers were blessed with early spring followed by a warm, dry summer. Rains late in the season aided ripening and resulted in red varieties that were consistent and high quality. The 2011 vintage also saw a significant change in the Ravines' Meritage through the elimination of cabernet franc from the blend. Despite our misgivings about having opened the 2010, we ventured ahead into the 2011. Fortunately, we felt somewhat vindicated when we tasted the wine. Although it was unmistakably a very young wine, it was beginning to show some hints of complexity and development. It was constrained, but balanced and suggested that it was far from its full potential.
The vertical was a great format for tasting the impact that vintage variation can have on a wine. It highlighted the unique characteristics of each vintage and illustrated a clear progression of development in the wines from 2005 through 2011.
In terms of the individual wines, we each had our preferences. But there was general agreement across the group that the 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintages were in full maturity, while the 2008-2011 were still developing. One other interesting bit of tasting trivia that we discussed was the fact that aside from the 2011, the vintages that got the highest tasting scores from the group came from odd-numbered years. We will need to give the 2011 a few more years to age before we will see if that trend continues.
The Ravines Wine Cellars Meritage was a perfect wine for the tasting and we all agreed that was the right selection. It is a high quality fine wine that is expertly crafted from some of the best fruit that the Finger Lakes has to offer. New York Cork Report Correspondent Kevin Welch called it "the best red in the Finger Lakes" which is high praise from someone who knows Finger Lakes wines as well as he does.
If you want to experience the vintage variation phenomena for yourself, the best way is to put together your own vertical tasting. Choose a wine, invite some friends and enjoy!

"This is our 3rd time using Shannon, I would not even think of using a different pet sitter. We just lost one of our dogs one week before vacation and were very hurt, Shannon sent us a card and a beautiful momento as well as a tribute on her facebook page. It is apperant that she LOVES her work and the critters she watches.
"I have had Shannon's Pet Sitting care for my 2 cats while I was out of town of 2 different occasions. Shannon made sure that they had food, fresh water, and scooped the litter boxes. One of my cats is on thyroid medication, which Shannon administered daily. She text-messaged me with reports on how the cats were doing and included pictures of them.
Shannon checked on our two cats and house daily while we were on vacation.
1. Shannon is extremely reliable.
2. Shannon is skilled and caring.
3. Shannon's rates are very reasonable.
"Shannon sat for our cat, "Moby", last week while we were on vacation. This was the first time leaving him. Moby does not warm up to anyone; after 5-7minutes of the initial meet and greet at our home, he came out of hiding and rubbed up against her leg and let Shannon pet him.
She provided her pet sitting services twice a day for a week. Everyday we received an email with a update and a picture of Moby. It's these small touches of Shannon's kindness and understanding that made us able to enjoy our vacation.
I cannot say enough great things about her. She is extremely kind, very professional and her prices are quite reasonable. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of him.

Data Migration Services
Vmirror Success Story
Case Studies: Data Migration Services
Complex SAN Migration at Intelsat
Intelsat, the global leader in satellite communication services, required data migration from a mid-range storage array storing data from a mixture of 18 clustered and non-clustered Unix and Windows servers to a newly purchased NetApp FAS 3070 storage system. This heterogeneous data migration was complicated by need to move multiple boot LUNs, while performing the operation under limited migration windows.
Heterogeneous SAN Migration
A multi-billion dollar IT outsourcing company required data migration services for a newly purchased NetApp FAS 6000 storage system. The migration would involve data migration for 20 clustered and non-clustered servers, 5 different operating systems, and 230 LUNs. As an IT outsourcing company with more than 70 data centers and half a million SAP users, the company had the know-how to handle the project internally, but this was balanced by concerns over the time and management needed. Furthermore, as an IT outsourcer, contractual service obligation meant the migration could only be performed during monthly maintenance windows of limited duration.
Windows SAN Migration
Business growth at a company providing employment and background screening services led to selection of a 3PAR S400 Storage Server to consolidate and manage its rapidly expanding data storage needs. The company's small IT staff had attempted a trial migration with host-based software tools, but the prospect of migrating data for seven clustered Windows servers with re-configured LUNs led to selection of Vicom's turnkey migration services instead.
Time-Sensitive Storage System Upgrade of Multiple Data Centers
A federal government agency purchased four NetApp FAS 6070 storage systems to replace aging mid-range SAN arrays at its regional data centers across the United States. Because the data centers are used in the daily management of thousands of contracts, on-time completion of migration to the new systems was considered essential for the agency's operations. Although the agency's IT staff had migration experience, managers were concerned about their ability support timely migration of SQL, Exchange, and Oracle applications running on VMWare servers. In order to meet the agency's ambitious schedule, data for the four NetApp systems would need to be migrated over four consecutive weekends - on-time and problem-free.
Time-Critical Financial Services Data Center Re-location for Deutsche Bank AG
When the events of 9/11 prevented re-location of Deutsche Bank's Manhattan data center, the company made a decision to consolidate its resources in nearby New Jersey. One of the key concerns was that the move could be made without jeopardizing weekday operations. After several months of study and investigation and at the recommendation of IBM Global Services, Deutsche Bank selected Vicom Systems for migration of the NYC data center.
Heterogeneous SAN Migration at Timken Company
To keep pace with data storage technology, Timken Company, a world leader in engineered bearings, alloy, and specialty steel products, leases its storage systems under a regular replacement cycle. With over 40 plants operating on a 7x24 basis, data migration to the replacement systems must be performed within very small maintenance windows. With over 20 HP, Windows, AIX, and Solaris servers and a looming expiration of system lease, Timken faced the prospect of a protracted migration using host-based software for its IBM ESS system. Timken and IBM Business Partner InfoSystems thus turned to Vicom Systems for guaranteed, on-time migration services.
Guaranteed, On-Time SAN Migration at Logan Aluminum
At Logan Aluminum, shutdown of a mill caused by server downtime costs the company several hundred thousand dollars per hour. As a result, the company's IT staff had planned migrate data server-by-server to the company's new IBM ESS 800 storage system, using nights and weekends over a six-week period. As an alternative, IBM Business Partner InfoSystems proposed Vicom's migration services that were guaranteed to accomplish the same migration in a single weekend.

UMR solar house reconstructed on National Mall
Posted by news
A solar house built by students at the University of Missouri-Rolla was the first structure to be certified for occupancy by officials of the Solar Decathlon, a competition that officially takes place Oct. 7-16 in Washington, D.C. A total of eighteen houses are being reconstructed on the National Mall for the event, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and other organizations and corporations.
UMR students in Washington, D.C., worked around the clock to prepare their solar house for competition in the 2005 Solar Decathlon. One crew of UMR student workers started calling themselves the "Night Crawlers."
The UMR house was recently shipped to Washington in two trucks for the competition. The UMR team, which started building its house on campus last January in anticipation of the Solar Decathlon, began reconstructing the dwelling on the National Mall in view of the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building at midnight on Sept. 29. The UMR students worked around the clock – one crew of students called themselves the "Night Crawlers" – to prepare the house for judging, which begins Friday, Oct. 7.
Teams from colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Spain have entered the 2005 competition. The houses in the Solar Decathlon are being judged in architecture, livability and comfort categories. The houses will also be ranked in power generation categories, including heating and cooling, lighting, and running appliances. Finally, each solar house must also be able to power an electric car.
While some of the houses in the Solar Decathlon's "solar village" have a very modern look, the UMR house has a traditional design. It has 550 square feet of living space, which includes a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and closets.
About 50 solar panels line the roof to capture energy as efficiently as possible. The panels heat water and produce electricity.
"The practical energy savings are significant," says UMR's project leader Joel Lamson, a graduate student in mechanical engineering from Orange, Calif.
Information about the Solar Decathlon teams and houses is posted at www.diynetwork.com/solar. Those interested may vote for their favorite house, as many times as they want, in the DIYnetwork.com Voters' Choice Award contest.

Jesus gave all who would follow Him a mission…a job…an over-riding purpose for our lives. We are to "go into all the world and make disciples, to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit, and to teach them all that He has taught us," (Matthew 28).
Also, in the Great Love Commandment in Matthew 22, Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart….and love your neighbor as yourself." The work that Jesus gave us applies until His return.
Personal and organizational missional efforts of the church in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ are not optional for Jesus' church, nor are they merely activities that we do. They are part of who we are as Jesus' followers.
1. Pray for ministries, for our missionaries and church leaders, and for yourself to be a bold witness for Christ.
2. Give as the Lord has blessed you, of your money and time, to the cause of missions at home and abroad.
3. Talk about Jesus in your everyday conversations at work, play, school, neighborhood, family. Point people to Him.
4. Participate as often as possible in the scheduled church outreach events.
5. Volunteer one hour a week in a Good News Club at Brookside, Wilmore, or Nicholasville elementary schools.
6. Offer your help and friendship to an international person living in your area – invite someone into your heart and home.
7. Be informed and then act to help people in crisis who might need common household goods and supplies, compassionate, non-judgmental counseling, tutor training for English as a second language, food, life-giving blood, etc.
8. Join a work team to assist in various projects.
9. Visit the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center, Hahn Manor, or Royal Manor Rest Home and spend some time talking with a resident.

Catch a Professional Soccer Game at the Orange County Great Park
The United Soccer League season is underway and Irvine-based Orange County Soccer Club has an exciting future. The club went far in the playoffs last season. And with several new players picked up in the offseason, the club is hopeful that their success will continue this year.
Veteran Acquisitions by Orange County SC
The USL, as a whole, draws big-name players from around the world. Orange County Soccer Club (OCSC) made key moves in the offseason and picked up some veteran players. Liam Trotter signed with the club in February and is coming from the Championship League, the second-highest division in England's soccer league system. The club also acquired Leonardo from the Houston Dynamo, an MLS team. Leonardo has also played for the LA Galaxy before being acquired by Houston. OCSC also signed Harry Forrester (pictured below), a veteran among several different European soccer leagues.
This Season's Expectations
OCSC's hopes are sky high for the season. Last season ended with a disappointing 1-2 loss, in the conference finals, to their rival club, Phoenix Rising. The signing of the veterans and the success of the club, from last season, adds to the appeal and prestige of the OCSC. The players believe, that with the veteran additions and a couple of young hopefuls, they can surpass the results of last season and win the cup this year. Those two hopefuls are Daniel Crisostomo and Connor Gordon, graduates from UC Irvine and Concordia University, respectively.
The games this year have been very exciting. Late in the second half of their game against New Mexico United, Liam Trotter passed the ball to Leonardo for the game-tying goal. Needless to say, every game has been loaded with action and close until the end.
OCSC plays in a new 2,500 seat stadium, which is located in the heart of the Great Park. Many home games have a promotional event planned with it. These events include:
April 6: VIP Japanese whiskey tasting
April 10: Soccer & Networking
May 4: Cinco de Soccer - Mexican tamales, margaritas, micheladas, and more!
June 29: Kids' Beach Towel giveaway
Tickets start at $15 and you shouldn't miss the chance at seeing a game! They are very family friendly as well. The club is rolling out more promotions throughout the season. Keep your eye on this page!
About the OCSC & USL
The Orange County Soccer Club is Orange County's only team that competes in the USL - the fastest growing Division II professional soccer league in the world. The USL comprises 34 teams, including Orange County Soccer Club. Clubs in the USL may be affiliated with an MLS team so you may see some big name stars that the US soccer scene has.

The 2013 season was Persib Bandung's 54th season in the club football history and the 5th season competing in the Indonesia Super League. In 2013 the club plays in the Indonesia Super League.

They finished the season in fourth place with 63 points and Sergio van Dijk became the team top scorer with 21 goals, with it he equaled the total goals scored by Persib legend Sutiono Lamso in the 1994–95 season.

Review and events
Persib signed naturalized player Sergio van Dijk after the season had started. He made his debut against Persisam Putra Samarinda and scored a goal despite losing the match 2–1. In May 2013, Sriwijaya F.C. and Persib Bandung agreed to exchange players. Dzumafo moved to Sriwijaya and Hilton Moreira moved to Persib.

The match against Persija Jakarta that was due to be played in Gelora Bung Karno on 22 June 2013 was canceled after the bus that was used by the team and officials to reach the stadium was attacked by an unknown group. The rivalry between both clubs is well known; supporters of Persija Jakarta was suspected as the perpetrator of the attack. Police are still doing investigating the incident. PT. Liga Indonesia, which manages the Indonesia Super League, rescheduled the match to be played on 28 August 2013.

The postponed game result was a 1–1 draw. During the match, both sets of supporters clashed inside the stadium in the 16th minute, postponing the match for 20 minutes. Roy Suryo the Minister of Youth and Sports Affairs of Indonesia resigned to calm both parties. As a result of the incident, the disciplinary commission of the Football Association of Indonesia banned the Persib Bandung supporters from attending their next season's away games. The management appealed the verdict.

On 7 September 2013, the management confirmed that Persib Bandung would take part in the post-season friendly tournament Menpora Cup. They were drawn in the same group with Central Coast Mariners FC, Sriwijaya F.C. and Malaysia U-23. From originally five players, only Sergio van Dijk, Tony Sucipto and I Made Wirawan went to play in the 2013 Perang Bintang. The other two players, M. Ridwan and Supardi, were called back to join the team for the 2013 Menpora Cup.

"Build on or move" on is a question many growing families have asked and with the current economic downturn this question is even more prevalent as families are increasingly cautious about the costs involved with extending versus the costs of a move.
We are all aware of the cost involved with a move and the extra burden that increasing a mortgage has on family finances and yet with the unstable housing market it is not always guaranteed that buying a bigger property will eventually reap bigger rewards if you sell.
So why not extend the home you already love? Extending does naturally mean a cost however whilst avoiding all the stress of a costly move, extending means that you can control the costs to suit your budget and potentially increase the value of your home at the same time.
• Do you wish to remain in the local area, If so are larger suitable affordable properties available?
• Could you add value to your property by extending or converting?
Is there space to extend or convert?
Research and consult a good Architect in your local area who will be able to discuss your plans and advise if they are viable. Some building contractors will be able to do this for you.
How will you fund your works and what's' your budget?
It is important to set a realistic budget early on and stick to it. Costs can quickly spiral out of control if you don't set a budget and this in turn will quickly reduce the value you are putting into your property.
Will you project manage the works yourself or employ a project manager?
Consider if you have the time and indeed patience to manage the project yourself, managing a project yourself will not always keep the costs down as project managers are experienced in dealing with contractors and ensuring projects stay within budget and delivered on time.
What are the Local council regulations and planning guidelines?
Planning regulation can be lengthy, ensure that you consult your local council for advice before you start.
Do you know a good building contractor?
Research local builders, get quotes and ask for testimonials before you start. Any good builder will be up front about costs from the start and provide a quote not a estimate (be careful of hidden extras!) and will be happy to provide advice on your project. Once chosen, a good builder will be happy to provide a mutually agreeable contract that protects both parties.

Chess, karate, crafts and coding: This is 'not the summer school of old,' CPS says
Madeline Mitchell
Brightly colored beads are tucked away safely in a plastic Ziploc baggie on Kenya Davis' desk. The day's craft workshop is almost over, and it's nearly time for her favorite activity: chess.
Kenya says she learned how to play chess during the school year, but she's really grown into it this summer. No one else in her Mount Airy School fourth grade class will play her anymore, though – she's too good.
The chess teacher, Josiah Davis (no relation), is the only one who will play chess with her now. She waits expectedly for him to arrive, a glimmer in her eye and winning smile at the ready.
"I beat him already," she says.
When Davis walks in the room, the rest of the students pair up and set up their boards. Kenya stays towards the front of the room, a plastic mat chessboard on her desk. She carefully assembles the pieces. She's missing a bishop, and calls to Davis to find one from another set.
Their first few moves go by in a blur. Kenya is impressive – she castles right away, a somewhat advanced move to protect her king. Davis does the same.
"Quit copying my moves," Kenya tells him.
Within minutes her queen is in the line of fire. Kenya's eyes widen, but she is safe. This time.
Kenya puts her finger on a bishop, then reconsiders and moves the rook. Davis tells her that's cheating. If you touch it, you move it.
The two bicker like siblings. Kenya thinks she should get a redo since she's younger. They leave to consult another teacher, and Kenya comes back with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
What's the verdict?
"She has to move the bishop," Davis says.
Kenya takes her time with her next move. Chess is all about thinking, she says.
Eventually Kenya's king is cornered, immobile. Checkmate.
"I just did that on purpose," Kenya tells Davis. "I'm gonna let you win because I always beat you."
For Kenya, this is as good as school gets.
Kenya's summer school morning was spent reading and practicing double-digit multiplication sets, but it's the afternoon enrichment that makes summer scholars so unique. Every Cincinnati Public Schools building offered its own program this year, aimed at reconciling students' lost instruction time during the coronavirus pandemic. Teachers and administrators hope the program helps reconcile lost bonding and socializing time, too.
More: How to help students catch up after COVID-19 disruption? Schools focus on kids' emotions
"A lot of times people want to talk about the 'COVID slide' or 'learning loss,'" says John P. Parker School principal Kimberly Mack. "But we try to get away from thinking about what has occurred during COVID in deficit terms. What have our kids gained during this pandemic closure?"
'Not summer school of old'
Many kids learned how to use computers during the pandemic, Mack says. Others found strength in the arts, or in dancing. Kenya found chess.
"This type of program allows kids to show what they can do rather than thinking about what they cannot do, or what they have not gained yet," Mack says.
The district has offered summer learning programs before, for third graders and high school students. Those sessions have historically been half-days and focused on remediation, not enrichment.
But interim superintendent Tianay Amat says this year's program is "not the summer school of old." Teachers and administrators are committed to building relationships with students and fostering resilience.
CPS lost track of hundreds of students at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and has worked since to find them again, often by knocking on doors. Other students who technically stayed enrolled were not given the resources they needed during remote learning and fell behind. Some lost family members. Others went hungry for months.
Each student then had a specific set of needs coming into summer school, in addition to the state's math and reading goals.
What to do then? Prioritize what was important with what could be done and where the greatest need lay.
"What we're looking for, first and foremost, (is) that they're healthy and happy. They have been isolated for a little over a year," Amat says of CPS students. "We just want to make sure that we continue to connect with our students. I don't want to overlook that. What's more important, in my opinion, is to have a safe and happy environment for our students."
That's true for teachers, too. Mack says her teachers and staff have talked a lot about self care since CPS has returned to in-person learning. She preaches to her employees: Without taking care of ourselves, how can we give students what they need?
"When you are feeling that fatigue or that burnout, it can permeate everything that you do," Mack says.
"We have to go above and beyond to meet their needs," she says of the students. "If we want to really talk about where the kids are – they've experienced trauma, you know? And when they come in the door we have to be prepared to address the academics, but before we can even get to the academics we need to address the social/emotional. Because we know that when your basic needs are threatened, you don't feel like you can really learn."
Both Mack and Amat have adjudged summer scholars a huge success. Students attended throughout the month of June for a free, full-day experience. Summer scholars included two meals and transportation, made possible through pandemic relief funding. Amat says the district will analyze attendance and academic data later this year to assess the impact of the program and evaluate if and how it can continue for summers to come.
Over at John P. Parker School, incoming seventh-graders Marleigh Brown and Ty Hix are enjoying their own set of enrichment activities. Ty's favorite is going out into the garden to learn about pollinators: bees, bats and hummingbirds. He says he's making a pollinator garden of his own at home.
Ty says he didn't mind doing school from home during the pandemic, since he could stay in his pajamas. Marleigh, on the other hand, has four siblings at home and shares a bedroom with her sister. She says she often got distracted while trying to focus on her own work. She says she learned a lot, but was not sure she retained most of the material.
"A lot that went through my head," Marleigh says. "When we got back to school, then (the teacher) asked us questions and I was like, 'Oh, I finally understand.' "
Both are nervous and excited to change schools this fall. Ty is off to Shroder High School, and Marleigh will attend Walnut Hills High School. Marleigh's been working on getting organized. She has been practicing taking things in and out of her backpack to see how easily she can do it, "in case, like, I had to hurry up and get to a class."
Teachers and administrators are preparing in their own way. Mack knows it has been and will continue to be a challenge to "rebound" into another year of teaching and supporting students. She said this year has been very difficult for her. She and her siblings got sick with COVID-19, and one of her brothers died from it.
If she learned anything from that loss, Mack says, it is to not give up and focus on the things that are important. For her, that's the children at John P. Parker School and their futures.
Kenya, a soon-to-be fifth-grader, says she wants to be a lawyer when she grows up. She doesn't know any lawyers, but she's watched Judge Judy with her dad. She says she wants to make the world a better place. She's excited to learn more about Black history next year.
Ty isn't sure what he wants to be when he grows up, but says he's leaning into the sciences. He used to want to be a veterinarian, but not anymore. Perhaps he'll be a writer or a gardener, he says.
Marleigh dreams of being an astronaut. Her favorite subject is science.
"I just believe that there's other life, like plants, that could survive on different planets," she says. "So I just want to see it for myself."


In each state, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection is a slightly different process. This is because bankruptcy is a state issue, not a federal one, and each state is of course a separate government entity with separate rules. In general, the main process is the same, but there are some differences you may want to be aware of depending on which state you live in. For example, here are some differences unique to filing Texas bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 filing in Texas follows many of the same basic rules as filing Chapter 13 in other states. First, you will be required to complete a credit counseling course within the 180 days prior to filing, whether it be Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. In Texas, you must also take a second course called a Debtor Education course after you file, before your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be discharged. The Debtor Education course is similar in many ways to credit counseling, but is not required in all states.
Probably the biggest thing unique to Texas bankruptcy laws is the amount of exemptions one can claim. You can either claim the federal list of exemptions, or the Texas state list of exemptions – though note, you cannot mix and match exemptions; you must choose one or the other. There are many specific exemptions to Texas bankruptcy involving things like livestock and firearms, so it would behoove you to take note of these exemptions before deciding which list to choose for your Chapter 13 filing.
Texas also has a lengthier list of documents that must be filled out than do most other states.

Q: How to Authorised all projects in GCP with single GCP SA for terraform want to create infra in GCP using terraform whenever any new project create in ORG. I want to create only one Service Account and using that SA want to create infra for any future projects as well, I want to automate it using bitbucket pipeline.
Tried to resolve this by giving the org admin access to SA but its not working.
Is there any way for this ?

A: The Organization Administrator can do a lot of things but related to the administering the organization and not necessarily to manage resources like projects, VMs, etc.
For example, if you want the SA to be able to create projects you need the Project Creator role. Of course you want to add the necessary roles depending on what resources you want to manage.
In addition, I don't recommend to use the "All Mighty" Owner to manage your resources; instead use just the necessary ones (Read Least privilege)
I'd suggest to first read the documentation and understand the purpose of every GCP role.

A:
How to Authorised all projects in GCP with single GCP SA for terraform

That is not possible. Each time a new project is created IAM bindings must be added to the project for the service account. Service accounts do not inherit rights.

FDA may suspend Avandia safety study, could lead to Avandia recall
An Avandia safety study called the TIDE trial may be suspended by the FDA over Avandia heart attack risks.
Calls for an Avandia recall have been renewed over concerns that the diabetes drug increases heart risks. In February, a critical Senate report on Avandia was released following a two-year Senate Finance Committee investigation. Internal FDA documents were made public, including a 2008 memo from two FDA drug safety reviewers recommending an Avandia recall.
An Avandia safety study known as the TIDE trial was approved by the FDA in 2007 to compare the popular diabetes drug with a competing drug called Actos. Several researchers have criticized the study, pointing out that it is unethical to compare a drug with known cardiovascular risks with a safer drug. They call for an Avandia recall for the same reason.
It has been reported that FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg wrote a letter to ranking Senate Finance Committee Republican Chuck Grassley, co-author of the Senate Avandia report, stating that the FDA is reconsidering the TIDE trial.
FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein has been quoted as saying that while the FDA hasn't yet made a decision about TIDE trial, the FDA's decision on the TIDE trial, "cannot be de-linked from the agency's view of Avandia."
The FDA has asked a government scientific panel to review the ethics of head-to-head trials. Sharfstein said no decision had been made on the TIDE trial.
In late March, Saudi Arabia's Food and Drug Authority suspended Avandia for six months upon concluding that the potential heart risks of Avandia outweigh its benefits. It was the first prescription drug regulator to pull Avandia from the market.

Mystery buyer orders 1 million smartphones from BlackBerry
WATERLOO, Ont. – Shares of BlackBerry rose more than eight per cent on Wednesday after the company announced it has sold 1 million of its new smartphones to a mystery buyer.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based company said an "established partner" made the purchase, though it cited confidentiality reasons for not revealing the identity.
Shares moved ahead $1.21 to close at $16.04 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
It's the first time the smartphone maker has revealed sales data for its new devices.
Chief executive Thorsten Heins has said the new BlackBerry Z10 touchscreen phone is selling better than the company expected, while Canadian carrier Bell (TSX:BCE) said last month that preorders broke its previous records for BlackBerry presales.
Meanwhile, the U.S. rollout of the device continues, with Verizon Wireless announcing that it will begin stocking the BlackBerry Z10 on March 28, with preorders starting on Thursday.

Дом ребёнка — государственное или частное учреждение для воспитания детей-сирот до трёх лет в Российской Федерации и других государствах бывшего СССР. В дом ребёнка также принимаются дети, от которых отказались родители, в основном матери-одиночки. По возрастным особенностям дети в доме ребёнка делятся на две группы, иногда на три. В группах численность детей не превышает 15—20 чел.

Дома ребёнка были созданы после революции и разделяются на общие и специализированные для детей с тяжёлыми заболеваниями. В специализированных домах ребёнка дети содержатся до четырёх лет, в виде исключения в домах ребёнка дети могут оставаться до пяти лет, если задержки развития, связанные с условиями воспитания, не позволяют перевести их в детский дом. Дома ребёнка также принимают по контракту с родителями детей с врождёнными заболеваниями для диагностики и лечения. Контракт заключается на определённый срок, но часто родители отказываются забрать ребёнка домой по окончании контракта.

По достижении трёхлетнего возраста воспитанники дома ребёнка переводятся в детские дома и другие учреждения социального обеспечения. Воспитанники также возвращаются в биологические семьи, направляются под опеку, на усыновление.

По состоянию на начало 2006 года Российская Федерация имела 250 домов ребёнка с 15 тысячами воспитанников.

The VxWorks OS running also on the Curiosity Rover is flawed
September 14, 2015 By Pierluigi Paganini
A security expert discovered a critical flaw in the VxWorks, one of the most reliable real-time operating systems for the IoT also used by the Curiosity Rover.
The Canadian security researcher Yannick Formaggio has discovered an important flaw in VxWorks which is the real-time operating system (RTOS) developed by the Wind River, an Intel's subsidiary. VxWorks is one of the most reliable real-time OS for the Internet of Things.
This family of OS is considered extraordinarily reliable and secure, they run in aviation components, industrial equipment, and also the Curiosity Rover uses it.
At the recent 44CON conference, Formaggio presented a detailed analysis of an integer overflow bug that could be exploited by an attacker for remote code execution. Formaggio analyzed the VxWorks for a client interested in evaluating it, despite the good performance of the real-time OS de discovered a serious security issue that could be triggered when a credential was set to a negative value.
Formaggio could bypass all memory protections and set up a backdoor account using this simple trick. Formaggio will provide further details on its fuzzing system in the next weeks, he also anticipated that he will not disclose the exploit code "unless explicit authorisation given".
Formaggio also made another worrying discovery related to the VxWorks operating system, the FTP server is affected by ring buffer overflow under specific conditions:
"FTP server is susceptible to ring buffer overflow when accessed at a high speed" and crashes when sent a "specially crafted username and password".
The security issues affect the VxWorks Versions 5.5 through 6.9.4.1, we are speaking about millions of devices need patching.
Wind River confirmed the presence of the flaw in its VxWorks system and plans to distribute a security update as soon as possible.
If you are a Wind River customer check for the availability of security patch.

Home Brandon Census Data Shows School Districts Must Be Redrawn
Census Data Shows School Districts Must Be Redrawn
Michelle Caceres
Census data has shown that school board member districts must be redrawn due to population disparities within the district.
Population increases don't just affect individual school attendance boundaries, it also has an impact on school board member districts.
Florida Statute 1001.36 requires that school board member districts be as "equal in population as nearly as practicable" and may only be amended in odd-numbered years.
The 2020 census data, released in August, indicates that school board member districts have grown disproportionately over the past decade, thereby requiring redistricting (the process of drawing electoral district boundaries) in 2021 to achieve greater equality between districts.
While population increases occurred in each of the five districts, the largest increases were noted in District 2, which experienced a 32 percent population increase from 247,195 to 327,197, and District 5, school board member Melissa Snively's district, which increased in population from 249,874 to 309,719.
"Because I've been a school board member for seven years, the population increase has been gradual and I haven't really noticed an unmanageable workload," she said.
Although she hates to lose any of the constituents she serves, she understands the need for reappropriation for equitability among board members.
"I hope they feel like I have served them well over the last seven years, but I hate to lose constituents—that means I have to give up people and that makes me sad," she said.
It is important to note that redistricting does not impact school attendance zones in any way and will not affect which school students attend.
The school district's Growth Management Department is working with Hillsborough County's geographic information system (GIS) team to assist with providing the school board with maps for consideration for the reapportionment of the single member districts.
"The mapping criteria we are asking the county to incorporate includes community integrity (keeping neighborhoods together), population, maintaining minority demographic balance and ethnicity breakdown," said Superintendent Addison Davis.
The district will hold several Community Connection meetings to update constituents on the new 5-Year Strategic Plan, discuss the academic state of the district and identify areas to improve its practice. In addition, district staff will discuss school board redistricting, allow the public to review proposed maps and capture community feedback.
District 3's meeting will be held at Lennard High School, located at 2342 E. Shell Point Rd. in Ruskin, on Wednesday, November 27. District 4's meeting will be held at Durant High School, located at 4748 Cougar Path in Plant City, on Monday, November 29.
The meetings begin at 6 p.m. with discussion about the strategic plan, vision for the district and a question-and-answer session followed at 7 p.m. with discussion about school board electoral redistricting and a question-and-answer session.
In addition to the in-person meetings, the maps will also be posted on the district website and allow for feedback or comments online.
For more information about redistricting or provide feedback, go to www.hillsboroughschools.org and look under 'District News.'

Berthold Auerbach (28 February 1812 – 8 February 1882) was a German poet and author. He was the founder of the German "tendency novel", in which fiction is used as a means of influencing public opinion on social, political, moral, and religious questions.

Biography
Moses (Moyses) Baruch Auerbach was born in Nordstetten (now Horb am Neckar) in the Kingdom of Württemberg. He attended Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium. He was intended for the ministry, but after studying philosophy at Tübingen, Munich and Heidelberg, and becoming estranged from Jewish orthodoxy by the study of Spinoza, he devoted himself to literature. While a student in Heidelberg and under the pseudonym "Theobald Chauber," he produced a Biography of Frederick the Great (1834–36).

Another early publication was entitled Das Judentum und die neueste Litteratur (Judaism and Recent Literature; 1836), and was to be followed by a series of novels taken from Jewish history. Of this intended series he actually published, with considerable success, Spinoza (1837) and Dichter und Kaufmann ("Poet and Merchant"; 1839), based on the life of Ephraim Kuh.)  His romance on the life of Spinoza adheres so closely to fact that it may be read with equal advantage as a novel or as a biography. In 1841, he created a translation of Spinoza's works. In 1842, he wrote Der gebildete Bürger ("The Educated Citizen"), an attempt to popularize philosophical subjects.

But real fame and popularity came to him after 1843, when he began to occupy himself with the life of the common people which forms the subject of his best-known works. That year he published Schwarzwälder Dorfgeschichten ("Black Forest Village Stories"; 1843) which was his first great success, widely translated, and expressing with a sympathetic realism the memories and scenes of youth. In his later books, of which Auf der Höhe (On the Heights; 1865) is perhaps the most characteristic, and certainly the most famous, he revealed an unrivaled insight into the soul of the southern German country folk, and especially of the peasants of the Black Forest and the Bavarian Alps. His descriptions are remarkable for their fresh realism, graceful style and humour. In addition to these qualities, his last books are marked by great subtlety of psychological analysis. Auf der Höhe was first published at Stuttgart in 1861, and has been translated into several languages.

Auerbach died at Cannes shortly before his 70th birthday. His life was uneventful, though embittered at the close by the growth of German anti-Semitism.

Biography – JUCHEREAU DUCHESNAY, ELZÉAR-HENRI – Volume X (1871-1880) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
Source: Library and Archives Canada/MIKAN 3496744
JUCHEREAU DUCHESNAY, ELZÉAR-HENRI (also called Henri-Elzéar), lawyer, seigneur, legislative councillor, and senator; b. 19 July 1809 at Beauport, son of Antoine-Louis Juchereau* Duchesnay, seigneur of Beauport, and of Marie-Louise Fleury de La Gorgendière; d. 12 May 1871 at Sainte-Marie-de-la-Beauce and buried in the parish church.
After receiving an excellent education within his family and through lessons from skilful tutors, Elzéar-Henri Juchereau Duchesnay completed his legal training and was called to the bar on 10 Jan. 1832. He married for the first time on 24 July 1834, and went to live at Sainte-Marie-de-la-Beauce, where his wife, Julie Perrault, daughter of Jean-Baptiste-Olivier Perrault*, bore him three children. At her death, on 22 Aug. 1838, she bequeathed to him part of the Sainte-Marie seigneury. Having been appointed stipendiary magistrate for the district of Montreal on 22 July 1839, then police magistrate on 8 April 1840, Juchereau Duchesnay took up residence at Sainte-Marie-de-Monnoir. But in 1843 he returned to the practice of law at Quebec. On 17 June 1844, he married his first wife's cousin, Élisabeth-Suzanne, daughter of the Honourable Jean-Thomas Taschereau* and sister of Cardinal Elzéar-Alexandre Taschereau*, and this marriage brought him back to Sainte-Marie-de-la-Beauce. They had seven children who, like their descendants, made their mark in the society of the time; one son was Charles-Edmond, who was superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in British Columbia.
In 1846, having received military training during his youth, Juchereau Duchesnay became lieutenant-colonel of the Dorchester, the 4th militia battalion of his region. His sympathies were with the Conservative party, and on 29 Sept. 1856 he was elected legislative councillor for the Lauzon division; he remained a councillor until confederation, and on 23 Oct. 1867 was named to the Senate of the dominion.
He was a great philanthropist, and a promoter and benefactor of education. The guerre des éteignoirs [see Meilleur] raged in his parish, as it had elsewhere since 1846, and the local school commission broke up, leaving education in utter neglect. On 28 Aug. 1849 Juchereau Duchesnay addressed to Lord Elgin [Bruce* ] a petition signed by 42 notables requesting a new school commission for the village. On 24 September the governor replied favourably. The promoter of the commission, having become its president, assumed the thankless task of reviving the schools; he undertook all the correspondence with the superintendent of education, and personally drafted the contracts of appointment with the schoolmistresses. Louis Proulx, who became priest of the parish in 1851, gave him strong support. The two "friends of education" succeeded in putting 15 schools into operation again, and the report of the superintendent for 1855 praised their tireless zeal. In August 1856 Juchereau Duchesnay handed over his responsibilities to his colleague.
Juchereau Duchesnay was also interested in agriculture. At the time the agricultural society of the county was revived, on 23 Feb. 1847, he became president. Le Canadien on 3 Feb. 1864 reported that at an annual meeting he was re-elected. It seems that in the interval he had continued to be president, and that in this way he championed the cause of agriculture in the county for at least 18 years; he was a farmer himself, and as a philanthropist took an interest in the bettering of the occupation of farming.
Juchereau Duchesnay was also mayor of Sainte-Marie-de-la-Beauce from 1868 to 1870. Finally, at his death he was still lieutenant-colonel of the reserve militia, division of La Beauce. At his funeral four farmers carried his coffin.
