Visual aids are often a necessary tool in any presentation, used to maintain the audience's interest as well as help the audience understand better what you are trying to say. But there's a thin line between using visual aids as real aids and using visual aids merely to show off your technical prowess. However, if used correctly, visual aids can impart a more precise and more powerful message. So what kinds of visual aids can you use for your presentation? Here's an in-depth list of the most common and effective visual aids for presentations.
Before you begin, you should first determine your visual aid's purpose. Is it to be used to clarify a main point? Is it for providing an illustration or example? Is it to give your audience more information about your topic? Is it to summarise your presentation? Is it simply to entertain your audience? Finding out your visual aid's purpose will help you determine what to use, how to use it, and when.
Whiteboards are popular as visual aids for years, and for a good reason. They are quite useful if you want to provide an explanation for a concept or create a diagram and headings. If your presentation involves some brainstorming, whiteboards can be helpful in recording comments and statements from your audience. If you use a whiteboard, it takes more time, and you should also make sure that your handwriting is easy to understand. You can also make use of whiteboards which are interactive but make sure you know how to use them as well.
Flip charts have also been popular for years, and they remain a low-cost alternative to expensive and more complex visual aids. The good thing about flip charts is that they can also help you brainstorm and communicate with your audience, and they are portable as well. If you want to collect ideas from your audience, flip charts are an excellent choice. Of course, if you are speaking to an auditorium full of people, flip charts are not recommended.
If your presentation involves some form of training, the use of videos can be ideal. Just make sure that your video will be properly displayed before you begin your presentation, so you don't have to struggle with connecting a computer to the projector, hence making your audience wait.
Most every presentation done today will have PowerPoint slides, but if you are doing this, make sure your PowerPoint slides are there to emphasise points and not detract from your message.
Handouts can be very useful, especially if you want your audience to remember specific points about your presentation or get more information about a topic. You can place handouts in presentation folders along with brochures, leaflets, flyers, product information sheets, and the like.

Nathan and Matt each offer Week 15 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make sound decisions for their DFS lineups.
Nathan:It is good to have Matt back in the fold. hopefully his takes upon his return will be flaming hot and accurate.
You can follow Nathan Powell on twitter: @NPowell -- and recent birthday boy Matt Rittle on twitter @ffrittle. Matt: Thanks again to @FFAaroneous for filling in last week. Nathan and I disagree plenty this week, so let's dive into it.
When you get a matchup of arguably best wide receiver corp in the NFL against the secondary that has allowed the 2nd most fantasy points to wide receivers and 3rd most fantasy points to quarterbacks, it is a good idea to play the quarterback from the opposing team. This game projects as a shootout with an O/U of 51, tied for the highest of the week, with a team total of 27 for the Cardinals. Palmer has a safe floor with at least 20 fantasy points in each game this season. When I can get that kind of production in a plus matchup without paying exorbitant prices, I'm going to do it every time.
Stacking: John Brown is my favorite stacking option with Palmer this week for pricing purposes, but Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald are also in play.
I'll admit that this is more of a contrarian option with many people going Denard Robinson for their cheap RB, or paying up a little more for David Johnson and many people also like Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate against the Saints, but my favorite way to get exposure to the game tied with Arizona/Philadelphia for the highest O/U at 51 is with Theo Riddick. Riddick has sneakily been the RB20 on the season while never really coming close to that price in DFS all season long. Riddick provides some nice lineup flexibility to go with a play that most won't be on, I like Riddick a lot this weekend. .
Matt: Riddick makes a bit of a "I want to prioritize other positions, but not entirely lose out at RB" style play. I admit I can't really argue against this one, though I'm not sure I'll be using him myself.
Jeremy Maclin cooled off a bit last week with a 12 point PPR outing after a pair of 30+ PPR point games. I expect him and the Chiefs offense to heat back up this week against that terrible Baltimore secondary. Travis Kelce hasn't been getting as many targets as fans hoped, and Jeremy Maclin has been fed targets consistently with 9+ targets in 7 of 12 games and 30 targets in his last 3 games. The Chiefs are 7 point favorites with a team total of 24, I expect Maclin and the Chiefs offense to exploit the plus matchup early and often this weekend and I think Maclin has the highest upside of the mid tier wide receivers in DFS this week.
Stacking: Alex Smith is a nice floor play this week, but not sure I see the ceiling that I do with either Russell Wilson or Carson Palmer.
Matt: In other slates, I could really see turning to Alex Smith this weekend, though the elite QB matchups this weekend seem to make that moot. With Maclin, I'll be honest...I'm never sure what to "mac of lin" (groan). He seems so hot and cold, and I've been completely unable to predict the timing of either. The targets and matchup are absolutely there, though, so as with my Riddick response, I can't argue against this one.
With Gronk still a questionable play, I am going back to the cheap tight end well this week with Jacob Tamme. Tamme has been getting consistent targets as the #2 option at WR/TE in the Falcons offense with 5 or more targets in 7 of his last 9 games, while that isn't the highest threshold in the world, Tamme doesn't need much more than that to live up to his price and I expect the Falcons to get Tamme more involved against a Jaguars defense that has surrendered the 4th most fantasy points to tight ends so far this season.
Stacking: Matt Ryan has been all sorts of terrible this season. He isn't a stacking option even against the Jaguars defense.
Matt: Tamme's targets have been less consistent of late than previously thought. He's probably as fine a cheaper TE play as you'll see this weekend, but I'm a touch nervous about his floor in cash games..
After a season full of cheap quarterback success in DFS, this is seemingly a week to pick on the top-end QBs heavily, each with great matchups. Nathaniel wrote up Carson Palmer already, and I'll name-drop Cam Newton (a real and fake MVP candidate) and Tom Brady (in the middle of a fantastic season, with the highest team total of the weekend). For my selection, though, I'll opt to ride one of the hottest offenses and players of the last month, Russell Wilson. After throwing for only one touchdown in eight of his first nine games, Wilson has caught fire, throwing for three or more touchdowns in each of his last four games (and five touchdowns twice). He hasn't finished lower than QB3 over that span, and has two finishes as the weekend's top QB. Playing at home against a Cleveland unit that figures to be outclassed on both sides of the ball (SEA favored by double digits), Wilson should be able to put in plenty of work. There may be a slight blowout concern here, but Wilson should get his numbers in regardless.
Stacking: If Wilson keeps rolling, Tyler Lockett makes a "sneaky" stacking option, but may fall just outside the cash game conversation. Doug Baldwin has been the biggest beneficiary of this hot streak, and figures to have a solid floor and ceiling at this point.
Nathan: It is pretty "Dangerruss" to fade Russell Wilson at this point(okay that was terrible). I'd worry a little about how the offense moves without any sort of running threat, but this is at home against Cleveland so Wilson should be able to do just about whatever he wants.
Matt: The fact I want to slowclap you for "Dangerruss" is probably why we get along so well.
In games where he has played over 80% of the snaps, DeAngelo Williams has been fantastic this season. In seven such games he has finished as a top 5 RB four times, with his other finishes coming as RB10, RB31, and RB20. I don't love the matchup against the tough Denver defensive unit, but after some consideration I have warmed up to DeAngelo Williams, and there are a few things going for him. This game takes place in Pittsburgh, not in Denver With Ben Roethlisberger at the helm, the Pittsburgh offense has been one 2015's best units, a different scenario than an elite defense facing a mediocre offense. Vegas would seem to agree with all this, placing the PIT team team total at a respectable 24.5. I'd also note that Denver is slightly softer against the run than the pass. I nearly wrote up David Johnson in this space, as the Eagles love giving up fantasy points to opposing RBs almost as much as opposing QBs, and I think the two are more or less equal. In the end, though, I decided to stick with one of the best DFS RBs of the seasons.
Nathan: DeAngelo has been really good all season long, but against a tough Broncos defense, I'm fading the entire Steelers offense for DFS purposes.
It's been an interesting year for A.J. Green, piling up numbers in good games, which has somewhat hid the number of average games he has had this year. He seems to have turned the inevitable corner, though, coming off back to back 100+ yard games, and riding a three game touchdown streak into Week 15. This increased consistency is supported in his seasonal numbers, as he was WR14 in PPR before his Week 6 bye, and averaging WR8 numbers since. The quarterback play isn't stellar, and the secondary matchup is fairly neutral, but that's where the negatives end for me. With Tyler Eifert questionable already ruled out, and Marvin Jones with a minus matchup, Green figures to be force fed targets this weekend. I try to give intellectual credit where I can, so I'd like to thank Chris Raybon from 4for4 who (may have been) the one who raised our awareness of A.J Green home/road splits. Even without his other positives this weekend, I would still arrive at the inevitable DFS conclusion: Death, taxes, and A.J. Green on the road.
Stacking: A.J. Green figures to have a nice game almost in spite of questionable quarterback play. Not trying to stack here.
Nathan: I know the AJ/AJ stack connected for a score last week and AJ Green on the road is money in the bank, but when I'm paying up for an elite receiver, I prefer the quarterback to have more than a few quarters of NFL experience.
I don't love a lot of tight ends this weekend. There are some cheaper ones that intrigue, but seem more suited for tourney plays than cash games. Daily Divide favorites Jordan Reed and Delanie Walker (are always in play, but) both face fairly bad matchups. So I arrive at the prospect of paying up for Greg Olsen this weekend. After an injury scare last weekend, he seems to be good to go this weekend for a tilt against a matchup that ranges from highly plus to elite, depending on which site you check. I won't belabor this play, as it's fairly obvious. Solid TE + very nice matchup + targets from MVP candidate QB + bad TE slate == here we are. .
Stacking: Cam Newton is always in play, and makes a terrific option this weekend, stacking or not.
Nathan: Olsen has been limited in practice which is really the only thing stopping me from playing him everywhere. Olsen will be doing Olsen things once again this weekend.
Matt: Wanted to end the column with a shout-out to #NarrativeStreet favorite this week: Antonio Gates. A long time favorite of myself, and many others, Gates is openly talking about wanting to play well in what may be his last home game in San Diego. Gates has been a long-standing favorite tight end of mine, and I'm not close to alone on that. We wish Gates and QB Phillip Rivers well this weekend, regardless of where they play next year.
Matt: Way to enjoy the moment in front of us Nathan.

Q: LINQ search query doesn't work I'm trying to write a search query in LINQ. Below is the where condition.
where (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nameWithInitials)
 && tb.NameWithInitials.Contains(nameWithInitials))
 && (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(studentRegNo)
    && tbSR.StudentRegistrationNo.Contains(studentRegNo))
 && (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(NIC) && tb.NIC.Contains(NIC))
 && (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullName) && tbi.Name.Contains(fullName))

It doesn't return any values if I pass a single parameter. For example if I pass 'Chamara' as fullname it doesn't return any result but if I pass all the parameters at the once then it returns the matching records.
I need to get this to work even when I pass several parameters dynamically

A: You are using AND (&&) everywhere, so if at least one of these conditions is false, your where condition will be false. Try using OR conditions instead:
where (string.IsNullOrEmpty(nameWithInitials) || tb.NameWithInitials.Contains(nameWithInitials))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(studentRegNo) || tbSR.StudentRegistrationNo.Contains(studentRegNo))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(NIC) || tb.NIC.Contains(NIC))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullName) || tbi.Name.Contains(fullName))

In this case in any of these conditions if you have empty parameter, only the first part of condition will be evaluated, otherwise the second condition will be evaluated.
One potential issue is that Entity Framework might not be able to translate this to actual SQL. In this case, you can use such approach:
var query = // your original query without where condition
// Check if the condition is valid and only then add where condition
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nameWithInitials))
{
    query = query.Where(tb => tb.NameWithInitials.Contains(nameWithInitials));
}
// repeat this for all other conditions

A: What you're asking is semi-confusing but i think you want to search for every string if exists, which translates to
where ((string.IsNullOrEmpty(nameWithInitials)
 || tb.NameWithInitials.Contains(nameWithInitials))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(studentRegNo)
    || tbSR.StudentRegistrationNo.Contains(studentRegNo))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(NIC) || tb.NIC.Contains(NIC))
 && (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullName) || tbi.Name.Contains(fullName))

Biological Weapons: The Impact of New Technologies
Shambhavi Naik
Shambhavi Naik is a Research Fellow at Takshashila Institution. She holds a a Ph.D. in Cancer Biology from University of Leicester, UK and over 3 years of experience as a PostDoctoral Fellow at NCBS and InStem, Bangalore. She has a PGP in Public Policy from the Takshashila Institution.
January-June 2019
In June 2018, German police arrested a Tunisian man in Cologne for trying to build a biological weapon using the deadly toxin, ricin.1 In October 2018, researchers flagged a US agricultural program funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) as a potential mask for a bioweapons project.2 At the same time, Russia also claimed that the US had tested biological weapons in Georgia killing over 70 people.3 Further, suspect packages were sent to select targets in the United States in October 2018;4 these packages in addition to being mail bombs also carried a white powder reprising concerns of the anthrax attacks from 2001 which led to the death of 5 people.
There has been no incident of biological agents being used as a weapon of mass destruction in the recent past. Yet as the above examples show, there have been attempts to explore and create technologies that could be weaponised by both state and non-state actors. The threat was made apparent by James Clapper, US Director of National Intelligence, who added gene editing in their annual worldwide threat assessment report in 2016.5 Since then, there has been a wider recognition that the advances in technologies and improved access to science have lowered the barriers to creating designer bioweapons.
New technologies and Bioweapons6 :
Gene editing using the recently discovered CRISPR/Cas system allows precise editing at a relatively cheaper rate without any high-cost expert training. It is important to note that before gene editing if any bioterrorist wanted to use a pathogen, he/she would have to obtain the pathogen from a restricted source. In many cases of bioweapons use, such as the one in Oregon where followers of Osho Rajneeshee, intentionally poisoned civilians using Salmonella, these pathogens are obtained from scientific laboratories which hold these microbes for research purposes. 7 Over the past many decades, the instillation of Good Lab Practices and Biosafety standards have prevented the accidental release of these agents for malicious purposes. However, with the advances in gene editing techniques, bioterrorists could now use a relatively harmless biological agent and convert it into a more harmful agent. For instance, the currently available vaccines that protect against measles render the pathogen ineffective in causing the disease. However, the measles pathogen can be genetically edited such that it is no longer resistant to the vaccine. The resulting pathogen could easily wreak havoc even among a vaccinated population.
Other synthetic biology techniques could also be used to create pathogens without the necessity of getting any organic backbone. In 2002, scientists claimed the creation of the entire polio virus from scratch and the genome sequence was put in the public domain. 8 While such an endeavour needs scientific expertise and infrastructure, the public revelation of the methodology and genetic sequence certainly lowers the barriers to anyone attempting to design a similar agent. Another development has been the availability of large data sets of scientific knowledge and the AI (Artificial Intelligence)-driven processing powers that can help identify combinations of genes to specifically tailor a bioweapon against a target. Furthermore, as the scientific community shifts towards a more open access policy to make science freely available, the same knowledge could be easily available as well as accessible by terrorists.
There are 3 fundamental ways in which these technologies - either alone or in combination -could change the face of biowarfare:
Creation of bioweapons that do not impact self forces: This is exemplified by the vaccine-resistant measles case mentioned earlier. New diseases that one's own forces are protected against can be designed for warfare.
Creation of agricultural pests: Similar methodologies can be used to engineer bio-agents against agricultural targets, crippling the economy of the enemy nation or starving their population.
Creation of tailored weapons: Using advanced genetic knowledge, bioweapons capable of targeting single individuals or ethnic groups may be created. The use of a bioweapon of this variety may go unnoticed as an intentional attack and state parties may prefer such a weapon to avert large-scale conflict with an enemy state.
The renewed attention towards biological weapons and the relative ease to procure and stock them as compared with traditional weapons of mass destruction may also entice non-state actors into acquiring and using bioweapons.
In the context of this changing scenario of bioweapons use, existing regulations helmed by the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) are severely inadequate in restraining the proliferation of these new technologies.
Current Status of Biological Weapons Convention
The BWC, which have been in effect since 1975 has been repeatedly criticised for its ambiguous language and more importantly, for the lack of a verification mechanism that can be invoked to check if signatory nations are complying with its mandate. The Convention prevents the creation, use, stockpiling or exchange of any bioweapon; however, its very definition of "bioweapon" is ambiguous. It allows the stocking of pathogenic agents in small quantities that can be used for peaceful purposes. Scientists, for example, hold small repositories of pathogenic agents to research better diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. However, unlike nuclear or chemical weapons, small repositories of biological agents can be easily scaled up for malicious purposes. This makes identifying the intention behind holding biological agents in any quantity difficult and defeats the purpose of the Convention.
The BWC's repeated attempts to introduce an effective verification mechanism have failed and as many as 12 countries including Iraq, Iran, Libya, China, Russia, and North Korea, who are parties to the Convention, are often alleged to have an ongoing bioweapons programme.9 An incident in Russia revealed that they held on to their exploration bioweapons programme much after ratifying their commitment to the BWC.10 Notably, Israel is not a signatory to the Convention stoking fears that the nation may be experimenting with bioweapons.11
The 2018 BWC Meeting of Experts held in Geneva in August also noted the implications of gene editing advances to the areas of biowarfare and the need for its regulation. 12 China and Pakistan proposed a voluntary model code of conduct for scientists engaged in using biotechnology. France and India proposed the formation of a database where aid requirements could be matched with specific offers of assistance. But more pertinently, the December BWC review conference brought to notice the dismal funding situation of the BWC but did not reach a consensus on adopting any of the measures suggested by the Experts meeting. 13
Yet there has not been a significant incident post World War II where bioweapons have been used as a weapon of mass destruction. This success may not be a fall out of the BWC but could be attributed to the nature of bioweapons: they are difficult to control, unreliable and cannot distinguish between self and non-self forces. Further, there was fear of usurpation of the technology by non-state actors. However, with the advent of new technologies discussed earlier, many of these limitations have now been removed. As a consequence, the threat of a bioweapons attack has become very real and India needs to take steps to protect itself from such an attack.
Policy recommendations for India14
India's weak primary healthcare system (as stated in a report where the country ranks 145 among 195 countries in healthcare access),15 conducive environment16 and hostile relations with neighbouring countries leave India vulnerable to a biological attack. Such an attack might aim at decreasing productivity in India by affecting its people or hampering agriculture or other natural resources such as water. India needs to develop a strong biodefense programme to shield itself against any bio- attack.
Surveillance Mechanisms
A primary focus has to be on creating grassroot-level infrastructure and linkages to implement real-time surveillance mechanisms that can rapidly detect a biological outbreak and trigger a swift response from the appropriate authorities. This holds true for both human and agricultural attacks. Improved point-of-care diagnostics will aid in real-time surveillance. A staggered chain of protocols, including quarantine, personal protection equipment for healthcare workers, sample collection and delivery should occur in response to an infectious outbreak – particularly for those cases where a disease cannot be easily identified.
In many cases, an antibody or specific DNA based tests are used for diagnosis. However, the sequencing of the entire DNA would help identify if the agent has been tampered with using artificial agents. Though this is not always reliable, treating unusual cases as a likely bioweapons attack and documenting genome sequences of the biological agent would provide a repository that could lend useful information for future use.
Biosafety Standards, Ethics, and Penalties
The adoption of biosafety standards in all academic and private laboratories and its enforcement through the instillation of penalties for violations will reduce accidental leakages of biological agents from authorised laboratories. The inclusion of ethics in school and college level curriculum, as well as orientation of new hires in laboratories, is essential to educate about the responsibility of the individual researcher with respect to the biological material they are using.
Leader at the Biological Weapons Convention
India needs to take a leadership position at the BWC and facilitate the inclusion of the following:
A scientific advisory board: Unlike the Chemical Weapons Convention, the BWC does not have a scientific advisory board to advise on new trends in biotechnology and ways to counter the new age bioweapons. The formation of such a board would aid the Convention to make pragmatic decisions to prevent the proliferation of bioweapons.
Funding issues: Lack of funding and infrastructure has long ailed the BWC. The implementation support unit of BWC consists of 3 individuals and is sorely under-staffed. 17 India could work with other countries in ensuring the BWC has enough funds to carry out its designated roles.
An alternative to the verification mechanism: While verification is deemed a political non-starter at the BWC, India could partner with other countries for creating a more co-operative mechanism that could be used to transfer important technology for vaccine production or improved vaccine manufacture.
India could also push for transforming the voluntary system for reporting on national activities to a mandatory reporting. The current voluntary confidence-building measures require member parties to voluntarily exchange information on vaccine production plants, biodefence programs, and unusual disease outbreaks. However, this system has seen low active participation; from 1987 to 1995, only 70 of the then 139 member states of the BWC submitted data declarations, and only 11 took part in all rounds of the information exchange.18 In addition to mandatory reporting, penalties can be put in for parties who are not compliant with the confidence building measures dictated by the BWC. This will help India to gain access to technologies that could improve India's primary health care response.
Treaties with Other Nations
Within and outside the BWC, India needs to forge strategic partnerships with countries who can share their expertise on biosecurity.
India needs to embark on a public engagement dialogue to educate its population about the threat of infectious outbreaks and how to respond in case of any outbreak. An unusual outbreak can easily cause panic amongst people and may aid in spreading the disease as people move away from the epicentre of the attack.
The threat of a bioweapons attack is swiftly being recognised by countries worldwide and India also needs to step up its biodefense programmes. While new technologies may lower barriers of acquiring biological weapons, the renewed attention the topic is getting may itself be sufficient to get non-state actors interested in experimenting with such weapons. Improved access to scientific knowledge, easier control over biological material and reduced cost of creating designer pathogens could entice state and non-state actors to experiment with biological weapons. The current regulatory architecture led by the Biological Weapons Convention may be inadequate to contain this threat and needs to be revisited. India, in particular, needs to focus on national and international measures that can be taken to curtail the threat of bioweapons. A networked primary healthcare system, strong collaboration with other countries and public engagement are central to protecting India from an infectious outbreak – may it be intentional or natural.

The wireless communication industry is currently experiencing a tremendous growth. The frequency synthesizer, which is usually formed by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), is a major and critical component of a wireless transceiver. Currently, there exist several different standards of operation; thus a multi-standard frequency synthesizer is desirable for operations under different wireless systems. The objective of this project is to design the most critical building blocks for the multi-GHz frequency synthesizers. All proposed circuits are realized on cost effective CMOS technology. Two prescalers, implemented with the dynamic CMOS circuit and the imbalanced phase switching technique are proposed to achieve lower power consumption for a higher operating frequency. The GHz operation of all-stage programmable counter is first achieved in this work by proposing a new re-loadable bitcell. To achieve the multi-band operation, a VCO with a wide tuning range of 5-6 GHz and a good phase noise performance is designed. By combining with other low frequency building blocks, a complete 5-6 GHz frequency synthesizer is realized to cover both the IEEE 802.11a and the HIPERLAN II standards.

Glass Onion Movie: A Knife Out Mystery: Everything We Know About Glass Onion So Far
glass Onion Movie
This holiday season, Netflix will release the next Knives Out film. Rian Johnson announced the title of the new Benoit Blanc mystery, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, on Twitter on Monday.
Johnson expressed his desire to emulate Agatha Christie and have each of Benoit Blanc's mysteries take on a new tone in a thread (and also a new title). The detective will return, played by Daniel Craig with an ambiguous and indecipherable Southern accent, but the overall vibe will be different — it's an homage to Christie's masterful exploration of the genre, according to Johnson.
"I think there's a misconception that her books all follow the same formula," he says, "but fans know the opposite is true." He goes on to discuss some of the genres Christie explored in her murder mysteries, as well as what he hopes to accomplish with future Benoit Blanc mysteries.
Where to watch Glass Onion with time
In February 2020, Lionsgate announced plans for a sequel to "Knives Out," with CEO Jon Feltheimer stating, "a production start for a follow-up…is imminent." After a pandemic and a massive Netflix buyout, filming on the film began in Greece in June 2021. Near the beginning of this year, the streaming service confirmed the film would be released as part of its 2022 slate, simply listing it as "Knives Out 2." However, thanks to the video below, the project now has an official name.
Glass Onion Plot
Along with the announcement video, Netflix said that "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" will follow Benoit Blanc as he "travels to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery involving a new cast of suspects." (Get it? Onions have layers.) I'm sorry, but I've also seen "Shrek." Before we all get too excited, though, it's probably best not to think too much about what the movie's title could mean for Mr. Blanc's next case.
You see, the name "Glass Onion" comes from a song by the Beatles from 1968 with the same name. That song was part of the famous "White Album." John Lennon wrote the song to confuse fans of The Beatles, many of whom he thought were putting too much thought into the lyrics, which often didn't make sense. Keeping this in mind, the story in "Knives Out" does at one point involve knives, so who knows? Maybe Rian Johnson is out here playing chess in four dimensions, and onions will end up being a big part of the movie's plot.
Benoit Blanc's next case, the follow up to Knives Out, is called GLASS ONION. pic.twitter.com/6Zo0g1VX11

Biden, first lady thank service members overseas in Christmas call
VIDEO: 'Gender-Neutral Woman' Ice Skater Falls, Can't Get Up During Show's Opening Ceremonies
President BidenJoe Biden Harris tests negative for COVID-19 after close contact with aide Standing with Joe Manchin Holiday caller to Biden: 'Merry Christmas and let's go Brandon' MORE and first lady Jill Biden Jill BidenHoliday caller to Biden: 'Merry Christmas and let's go Brandon' Biden, first lady make Christmas Eve visit to Children's National Hospital Bidens welcome new puppy, first feline coming in January MORE thanked U.S. service members overseas during a call on Saturday, while also expressing sadness that the troops could not be celebrating Christmas at home with their families.
Biden, alongside the first lady and their new dog, Commander, named the countries service members were calling in from — Bahrain, Qatar, Romania — before adding "everywhere but home, sorry."
"We are sorry. You know, one of the things we know, because we are a military family, we know what it's like to have you, you know, our loved ones serving and being away during the holidays. And so, I'm sorry you have to be away, we know what it's like for your families to have that empty seat at the table like we had," the first lady added.
Biden's son Beau Biden served in Iraq for a year, and the first lady's father served as a signalman in the South Pacific during World War II.
The first couple's call with service members was their first and likely only public appearance on Christmas Day. They took questions from troops off camera after delivering brief opening remarks.
The Bidens are having a quiet Christmas at the White House with their family after visiting the Children's National Hospital on Christmas Eve. They did, however, release a Christmas message to the nation, pointing to the "courage, character, resilience, and resolve" of Americans in a year that was marked by the pandemic.
The first lady, during remarks to the overseas service members, said her and the president "certainly know as a family, what your families are feeling today, and that's why we will continue, Joe and I, will continue forever and ever to support you in any way we can, but most of all, serve your families."
The president emphasized the hardship felt by families of service members on the holiday.
"I know, as Jill said, you'd rather be home today, and I don't blame you. Jill and I know how hard it is for you but, quite frankly, it's harder for your husbands, wives, moms, dads, children, be apart or on on duty during a season of togetherness, and we Bidens understand that," he said.
"We still every once in a while look at that empty chair," he added, likely referring to Beau's death in 2015 following a battle with brain cancer.
Biden thanked the service members for their service, but called the expression of gratitude "a poor substitute for what you're missing."
"I understand. I just want you to know how much we care, we're grateful for your courage, your sacrifice, not only your sacrifice but your family's sacrifice," Biden said.
"The holidays really bring into sharp focus, being apart is, it's just part of the job. But it's a hard part of the job. And it's, but it's who you guys are," he added, before calling the service members "the solid steel spine of the nation."
The president said the only "truly sacred obligation" of the U.S. is to "properly prepare those and equip those who we send into harm's way, and to care for you and your families while you're gone and when you return home."
"Because all of you are out there doing what you're doing, Americans all across the nation are able to spend the day with their loved ones enjoying the blessings of security of our American democracy, and we're so, so grateful," he added.

Subash Jayaraman (SJ)– Welcome to the show, John!
John Holder (JH)– Thank you. Thank you, Subash.
SJ– It is absolutely my pleasure.
Writing in The Guardian in the aftermath of the brouhaha over Stuart Broad not walking during the Ashes Test in Trentbridge, you had written that you had done the job for 27 years and you were pretty philosophical about it and In the end you had become quite cynical. Can you expand on that – what made you cynical towards the game?
JH– The reality is that there has for a long time been the perception that cricket is a gentleman's game. The batsmen walk when they 'nick the ball and are caught, and bowlers and fielders only appeal when they feel or are very certain that the batsman is out. Those days are long gone. That was gone even before I started umpiring in 1983. The reality is that, especially when there is big money, the pressure to win is greater than ever. Some players will cheat. Some players will claim catches which they know are not catches. Players and fielders will appeal because they want a wicket. As long as batsmen walking is a concern there, most players even at club level, where I have been umpire at for the last three years, a lot of players don't walk. The attitude of most players is that the umpire is paid to do a job and let him do a job. Under the laws in cricket, a batsman is only out on appeal. Lots of players now, lots of batsmen play it that way.
What I find distasteful is that batsmen who after an umpire has made a decision that he may have made wrong, may have given the batsman not out and the batsman is quite happy to accept that and carry on batting, but he then gets what he thinks is a bad decision he is unhappy. One of my former umpire mate, John Hampshire – we were the first neutral umpires – he told me a story that after he left playing for Yorkshire, he played for Derbyshire for a few seasons before retirement. The former South African all-rounder Eddie Barlow was captain of Derbyshire. He told his players that he never walks, but if the fellow in the white coat put his finger up, whether it is a good decision or a bad decision, he left the field. He didn't complain.
In life you can't eat your cake and have it. You can't say that the umpire should do the job and you shall leave it for him to do it and he makes some mistake in your favour and you are happy to accept it. Then, if he makes a mistake or what you see as a mistake, you complain. You can't do that. You can't eat your cake and have it. there is lack of honesty in the game. That is a double standard.
SJ– That is the underlining reason behind your cynicism about how the game is played?
JH– Absolutely. I can't do anything about it, I can't change their mindset.
SJ– Player dissent, you mentioned about what a player might think as a wrong decision and he remonstrates to the umpire in certain ways – looks back at the umpire, shakes his head. You have played and umpired over a long time. So, from your playing time, to your umpiring time to now, has it gotten much worse?
JH– Yes. I think a lot of pressure comes not only from more money but also from the coaches. There was a coach who was a first class umpire. He went and coached one of the English counties and he told his players that you must appeal. He is pressurising. Having been an umpire and having experienced the pressures of umpiring, all of a sudden, he leaves umpiring and becomes a coach and he wants to pressurize the umpire because he wants the results to go his way. The reality is that the coaches, without success, you got to know that there is every chance you will lose the job. The coaches encourage the players to appeal, because then you hope the decisions will go their way.
SJ– We have had several cases of excessive appealing. There has been one example of India being in South Africa, there was a charge laid against Indian team for excessive appealing and it became a major international incident. In your experience, as an umpire, does someone making a strong throated appeal, instead of a polite enquiry, sway the umpire's mind in terms of giving it out or not out?
JH– It shouldn't. But the main thing about it is that they are times in the middle, where you think the batsman is out but no one appeals, or just a plaintive appeal, a half hearted appeal. You would look like an absolute mug if you put your finger up. And, because of this little weak appeal, that is being unrealistic. Umpires will make decisions when there are good, strong appeals. As I said, you will look extremely stupid if you saw what you think was an LBW, and there was a half hearted enquiry rather than an appeal. That is human nature.
SJ– But then, isn't that what leads to excessive appealing, trying to coax the umpire into making the decisions that you wouldn't have otherwise made?
JH– No, I think it is often the desperation of the situation that will encourage the fielders to appeal excessively. It happens where they are desperate for wickets because of the situation of the game, and they feel that is the best way to get a decision their way. They appeal and they appeal and they appeal. Also, I maintain that the players watch umpires as much as umpires watch players. Players can tell umpires who are weak, who can be swayed by strong vociferous appeals and they will appeal accordingly. But, if as an umpire you feel that the appealing is excessive, it is potentially designed to intimidate you and your decision, you speak to the captain.
In my last year, I did a One Day game at Hove between Sussex and Surrey. I was standing at Square Leg, and the wicket keeper kept on appealing, "HOWWWW….HOWWWWWWWWW!" and I said, "Excuse me, just say 'How is that?' and that is the end of it. you don't have to keep shouting." I think he was quite surprised with what I said. That was a blatant case of a wicket keeper desperate to get a decision in their favour and kept on appealing and appealing and appealing. It was against the spirit of the game as well.
SJ– I want to talk about the DRS. But before that, you had made your opinions on it clear in saying that the players shouldn't be the one initiating the review. Instead, if the umpire was in any doubt, he should ask for the help of the third umpire…
JH– Even last summer here, in 2013, even Brad Haddin said that, because there was an awful lot of controversy surrounding the use of the DRS last year. Haddin said that as far as he is concerned, and he is quite happy to allow the umpires to use the technology to make the decisions. But, I feel and I feel this strongly, that the whole idea of the players' challenge is the drama of television as well. There is an appeal, the umpire has made a decision, then you get a huddle between the fielders and the two batsmen confer. There is a bit of drama. If the umpires are uncertain of what has happened, and if he was allowed to ask the third umpire, "can you tell me what happened?" I don't think that is as dramatic as the challenge of the fielders or the batsmen at the wicket making the signal challenging the decision.
SJ– I am assuming that you are not in favour of the way the DRS is instituted the way it is right now and how it is carried out? Am I right?
JH– Correct.
SJ– You had mentioned that there is no concerns for the feelings of the umpire who has made the decision in good faith. The umpire has to standing the middle and live with his decision, after being show on the television, on the big screen in the stadium, on the TV they are analysing the 27 different cameras and the ex-players who are commentators now are basically ridiculing the job of the umpire. And, you also mentioned that was the reason a former elite umpire quit the job. Can you illuminate further on that?
JH– No, I am not at liberty to make any further comment on the elite umpire who quit the job. But, I am not at all in favour of the DRS. I fully support the Indians. Cricket is the game played by human beings and the umpires who are officiating are human beings as well. i rest my case there.
SJ– You would rather have a situation where we go back to a time where we have no DRS, where we have two umpires on the field and that is pretty much it. whatever decisions they give, we live with it.
JH– Yes. Absolutely. You want to train your umpires to be as good as they can be. The umpires have to have that desire to be as good, not just to be in the job earning big money. You are out there under the microscope, the scrutiny of millions of people, you have to do everything, do all you can to be as good as you can be – your physical fitness, knowledge of the game and concentration, etc. I would like to see the game go back to just people playing the game, umpires making decisions and getting on with the game.
SJ– We talked earlier about player dissent. Doesn't DRS actually bring it down a little bit, because players have a recourse if they felt that they have been given out wrongly or not given correctly. Perhaps a mistake can be fixed, and then we can move on and there won't be any raw feeling between the players and the umpires and so on and so forth? Don't you see it from that point of view, that the DRS could be useful?
JH– I umpired 11 Test matches and I don't remember any raw feelings and players being feeling hard done by. I am sure I made mistakes, but I don't remember any instances of dissent. I gave Graham Thorpe LBW when I did my last Test match at Lord's. I made a mistake in an Ashes Test there. In the England and innings, I gave Thorpe LBW. the ball had pitched outside the leg stump. I had given him out LBW. i got it wrong. There was no dissent whatsoever. One of the things about umpiring is man management, how you interact with players and I think if you have a good relationship with the players, and they respect you as umpires and it wasn't as if it was a massive mistake that I got it wrong, players will accept it and get on with it. if as an umpire, you can get the respect of the players, they will accept your decisions.
But, I think the press, as the TV technology has improved, there are commentators who like to be controversial. One of the worst around the world, Bob Willis, who after seeing that the umpire has made a decision and then the expert commentator after seeing 3 or 4 replays, suddenly says "That was a shocking decision." This is the kind of language that Willis quite often uses. "That was an awful decision." That is controversial. Most decent commentators don't talk like that. The commentators only know that the mistake is made because of the TV replays, the ultramotion replays. Yet, someone as professional as Richie Benaud would say that. Richie Benaud would never say that. I have heard Benaud, I have been watching TV when there has been a replay that show when the umpire has got it wrong. Benaud said "Play it at normal speed and you make your judgment", rather than the commentator going on and on and on berating the wrong decision.
SJ– We talked about going back to a time where you just have the umpires and be done with it, which is where I want to ask you about neutrality or the perception of neutrality. I had interviewed Simon Taufel, and he said that the perception of neutrality is very important, that the umpire adjudication is unbiased as well. That perception is very important.
JH– Look, I think that the perception is only a perception because other sports have a so called "neutral official". The reality is that with the TV technology being as developed as it is, you are earning, let us say £ 200,000 an year, you cannot afford to go out there on the field making decisions based on bias, on likes or dislikes. You got to be as good as you can be. Because, if you can't, you are going to lose the job. TV technology will show you as being incompetent, being dishonest, or bothAs an umpire, the most important thing to you is your reputation. You should not be making decisions based on likes and dislikes. Umpiring is and should be about excellence. The thing about this perception of neutrality is just a perception and does not hold water. In the final analysis, umpiring is about competence, not about neutrality.
SJ– I was going to quote you from 2001, where you said "Umpiring is about competence and not about nationality." In a funny turn of events, you and John Hampshire were the first two neutral umpires to stand in a Test match. Pakistan vs India, in Pakistan.
JH– Yes, we were the first neutral umpires. What happened is that prior to us doing that series, the Test series in in either country used to be very incredibly acrimonious. Imran (Khan), having talked with the Indian opposite numbers, they decided to have neutral umpires. For me, it is just a perception.
In the final analysis, the job is about competence. With the level of the quality of TV technology now, where every decision that you make is replayed, it is all about excellence and not about neutrality.
SJ– OK.
I want to ask you about the situation of match fixing and spot fixing, which right now is one of the biggest scourges of international as well as domestic cricket. Last year, with the IPL, when the spot-fixing scandal broke, there were allegations of Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf and in the year before that there were umpires caught in an Indian TV sting and the umpires were from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. You had mentioned last year in an interview with Jonathan Agnew on BBC Test Match Special that you were approached in 1993 in Sharjah, am I correct?
JH– Yes.
SJ– What was the situation surrounding it? you had mentioned that someone approached you with an offer of £ 10,000 to make sure that there is a partnership of certain amount of runs, 85 runs, I suppose.
SJ– Was that the only time that you have been approached by anyone like that?
JH– Yes. Absolutely. That was the one and only time.
SJ– Have you heard of other umpires being approached?
JH– Yes. The former South African umpire Cyril Mitchley said that he was approached once and he was offered $ 100,000 to make sure Pakistan won a Test match against Australia. At that stage, there was this international panel. There wasn't this Elite Panel. He said that it was a Test match in Lahore. He went on the field before play was due to start and there is pre-match inspection like you do. as he walked off the field, someone approached him and told him that there is $ 100,000 USD if Pakistan won the Test match. Knowing Cyril, his response would have been pretty cryptic. It would have been very short, and to the point. The second word would probably be "off". That was it.
I have absolutely no doubt, especially of how things are, that other umpires have been approached. I can see that. I am certain that umpires have been approached, because the umpires actually control the match. The umpires' decision making can influence the game massively one way or the other. I don't know if other umpires have been approached and haven't said anything. I didn't say anything for quite a long time, in fact.
SJ– But, you had mentioned that you had reported to the ICC at that time.
JH– Not at that time, because at that time there was no ICC as it is now. When I worked for the ICC briefly for about 3 years, it was then that I mentioned to one of their anti-corruption men. I called and told him the name of the chap who approached me. I have never heard about it since then.
SJ– Are you aware of any safeguards that are put in place for the modern day umpire to be protected from this?
JH– You can't protect anyone for 24 hours a day. All you can do, whether umpires or players, a lot of it is about education, a lot of it is about having pride in yourself. Because, the reality with this match fixing thing is that people think that there is easy money. There is no such thing as easy money. Once you get into it, you are into a spider's web. There is every chance that you are going to get found out. I think it likely because people like (Hansie) Cronje and (Mohammad) Azharuddin , they never thought they were going to get caught. Salman Butt and others at Lord's 3 and a half years back, they never thought they will get caught out. They thought it was just easy money. There is no such thing. And what happens to you is that your reputation, all that you worked hard to achieve in the game is forgotten and you are remembered as being a cheat. If you can live with that, you will get involved in match fixing. If you can live with looking over your shoulder constantly, waiting for the phone to ring for someone to tell you to jump and you got to ask him how high, if you can live it like that, then you get involved in match fixing. I couldn't live like that, so I just told him to get lost.
SJ– There was a 10 year gap in your international umpiring career. You umpired for a match between England and West Indies in 1991 at The Oval and then there was again a 10 year gap and you umpired in 2001. From a recent interview that you did with Roland Butcher, of University of West Indies, the former player as well, you had mentioned about submitting a match report after that England – West Indies Test match that there was ball tampering going on. You think you not being an umpire in international Test matches was direct result of you alleging ball tampering?
JH– I didn't allege. I said it plainly that it happened, because I saw it and I reported it. i have no doubt whatsoever that my omission from the Test panel after that Test match – because I had a very good Test match – it was no doubt because I had reported the English players for ball tampering. I put it on the report. What was disappointing for me that after it became public, and it became public because I had been to Pakistan in 1989 and had developed a good rapport with the Pakistanis and they had come here in 1992 for the 1992 series. I had a good Test match at The Oval and the press was quite surprised when the Test panel was announced for the 1992 season, that I wasn't on it, that I had been dropped from it.
They started to do some digging. The former Warwickshire fast-medium bowler, Jack Bannister, who was actually commentating on BBC when it happened – the incident happened on a Saturday morning – he did some digging and he found out about the ball tampering that I had reported. He wrote a book called "Jack In The Box". In it, he mentioned this incident where I got dropped from the Test panel and the surprise that I caused among them in the media. His book was previewed before the start of the 1992 series against Pakistan. A sports writer from the Express, Colin Beartman, did a preview of his book which came out before the international season before it started. In it he made a reference to the ball tampering incident and when it became public, the bosses at Lord's were livid. One of them actually came out, for the board, and made a statement to the effect that there was never any ball tampering and that wasn't reported. That is a massive lie.
What actually happened on the Saturday morning, with the West Indies batting – this is about 20 minutes before lunch – they were struggling. They had lost a couple of wickets in their first innings facing a pretty big England total. I was at the Vauxhall end and I saw a player walking with his back to me with his elbows working sort of together. I thought that was a curious way of polishing the ball, because he had the ball he was to be shining. A couple of overs later, I saw that this things persisted. A couple of overs later, after the last ball from my end – Dave Lawrence was bowling from my end, and I asked "Can I have the ball, please?" And, one side of the ball had a dozen big bulge marks, like a player has been using thumbnails. It wasn't just marks, there were big bulge marks about an inch or inch and a half long. When I looked at the ball, I swore under my breadth because i knew that we had a problem. I went to my colleague, Merv Kitchen who was a square leg. I asked Merv "What do you think of this ball?" He straightaway said that it has been scratched.
I called England captain, Gooch and showed him the ball and said, "Captain, one of your players is tampering the ball. This is illegal, and it must stop right now." I regret since then, not changing the ball at that time. i didn't want to cause too much embarrassment. I just thought I would say something. It stopped, because for the rest of the game, I would inspect the ball and the tampering had stopped. I regret now not changing the ball once my colleague had confirmed that the ball had been tampered with. We should have applied the law and we should change the ball. But the law was a bit wishy-washy, it said that you can change it for one with similar condition. All that would happen is that you scratch that and you change it. there was no penalty at that time. the laws are different now, there is a penalty now. At that time, it was a combination of that, plus you don't want to cause too much of an embarrassment. So, I thought that I would say to the captain that this has to stop, this is illegal. I regret doing that. We agreed that the ball has been tampered with, and we should have changed it for an old ball, then the whole world would have seen what had happened. It meant that the board would not have been able to deny that the ball has been tampered with because there was my report as well, which I submitted on the incident and on the match report. The top column at that time was related to the ball to the breaches of the laws and the regulations and on that column, I wrote that on the Saturday morning the England players had tampered with the ball.
SJ– Now, you have that report that you submitted. When the board official came out and said, responding to the Colin Beartman's book review that nothing of that sort happened. and, on top of it you were dropped from the Test panel. Why didn't you pursue with this further, because they were messing with your livelihood?
JH– I hadn't signed a contract to just umpire Test cricket. So, I had no right to umpire Test cricket. It was up to every year, it was up to the authorities at Lord's to appoint from the first class umpires on the panel to make a decision on who they were going to pick for umpiring Test cricket. No one had a right to umpire Test cricket.
SJ– Fair enough. but still, it is basically the board officials saying that none of the thing of that sort happened goes completely counter to the actual turn of events. So, why did you not try to set it straight?
JH– It is my word against theirs.
SJ– You have a match report as well, and you had a discussion with captain Graham Gooch as well on the field.
JH– The match report is confidential and it went to the board. I have no idea where the report went. I have no doubt that it was a report possibly for the England captain on my performance in that Test match that got me dropped from the Test panel. Just like Darrel hair got penalised for doing his ojb properly at The Oval a few years back, that is just a repeat of what happened to me. I think the ICC and the media and their hunger… Darrel Hair did his job properly, and what was wrong about it? on that day at The Oval, two umpires made a decision. Darrel Hair and Billy Doctrove were right from the outset. it was like Billy Doctrove didn't exist and it was all Darrel Hair. He got the sack. It was exactly what happened to me a few years back.
SJ– That is extremely unfortunate.
I've had you here for quite a bit now. I will let you go. One thing that I want to know is, your relationship with Sachin Tendulkar. You were the umpire when he was making his debut against Pakistan in Karachi. And, you were the umpire by whom he hit his straight drive to get his hundred, his first Test hundred at Old Trafford in 1990. Your experience of dealing with him? I also read that you also gave him some cricketing advice when he made his debut.
JH– That debut Test match at Karachi, the pitch was one of the greenest pitches I have ever come across. That was seriously bowler friendly pitch. That was designed for Waqar (Younis) who was making his debut as well, who bowled with the speed of light – he was quicker than Wasim (Akram) or Imran. It was tailor made for the Pakistani seamers. Sachin making his debut, he had scored loads and loads of runs in the Ranji Trophy. All of a sudden he came against three world class bowlers on a pitch which was tailor made for seam bowlers. He was like a fish out of water. And this ball was whizzing past the nostrils off a length and climbing. He thrashed it around. I think he got around 40 in his first innings, clearly out of his den, this is completely new to him. I was at the far end at Karachi, up the hill. When India came to fielding, I was at square leg and he was standing next to me. I just said to him, I realised he was a youngster there, I said to him, "You are playing against the best bowlers in the Test match level now. If you want to score runs, you had to be a little bit more circumspect. Take your time." But, I think it was the essence of the occasion, the conditions. He was out of his depth.
SJ– That was 1989. Then you see him again at Old Trafford, where he scores a 100 against England. What are your memories from that Test match of his batting and the difference from the kid that you saw in Karachi vs the kid that you saw in Manchester?
JH– It was like an year later, but he had gone from being a kid to an adult. He had a maturity. He looked completely at ease on the international scene. He batted superbly. I think the run that got him his 100th was an off drive for 4. I was at the bowler's end at what was at the time at Manchester before they turned the square around, He off drove somebody for 4 and massive celebrations. Sachin, during the time that I have umpired him in India and at Old Trafford has just been a very lovely young man. I hadn't seen him for a few years, and then there the Tsunami game at Lord's in 2005. He came to raise funds for Tsunami victims. Darrel Hair and I umpired it. I hadn't seen him for a number of years and he was to captain one side while (Shane) Warne captained the other. I had to go into his dressing room, to his team. He received me so warmly. "John, it is so nice to see you." And I hadn't seen him for a number of years. He is just a very lovely young man.
SJ– On that wonderful note, John, you are a great person as well. Thank you for taking this time talking to me.
JH– Subash, it has been my pleasure. All the very best.
SJ– Thank you so much!

Q: How do I test SAS HDD connected to HP Smart Array P410i controller? My client is getting a used HP Proliant DL360 G6 server and I want to make sure that it's safe to use this server further in production.
I've tested RAM using GoldMemory (results are OK), and now I'm lost searching for a way to test hard drives. At this point I know that neither Viktoria nor MHDD can see the drives, partially because P410i doesn't run in so called JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", I guess) mode.
So, how do I test these hard drives? Thanks in advance for any help.

A: Using the HP SmartArray utilities, you can see the SMART information for the drives.

A: You can use HP Service Pack for Proliant DVD. There is a bunch of tests on it, to test wide variety of HP server subsystems. Just boot from it, and you'll see all the options.
It is available on HP site via support contract http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx
Or you can search through internet, no doubt you will find that you need.
P.S. Also keep in mind, that newer versions of SPP may not support older servers hardware, therefore you may need to find older one.

A: There's no reason to "test" the drive. The controller will tell you whether the drive is healthy or not at POST during the RAID controller initialization.
Treat this like any other server and plan for component failure. Make sure the drives are in an acceptable RAID level and that you monitor the system's health from your operating system.
Also see: Automated hardware testing of HP servers?

A: If you want to do burn-in on the drive, there are a few things you can do. For system utilities, smartctl and hdparm have low level test modes.
bonnie++ is a higher level stress test.
Here is a thread with a few examples of stress testing drives.

Q: docker container vs swarm communication issue I have several docker containers that will run together just fine on a single machine.  One binds to port 80, another connects to a neo4j container that is also spun up.  The others are for inter-container work (I didn't build them, but I have to host them).  I have a docker swarm setup with docker engine 1.12 and a progrium/consul cluster across the 3 machines in the swarm.  The consul cluster can see all of the containers, and they work when using just run -d (on each single host as mentioned).  As soon as I put any of them out as a "service", they can no longer communicate.  I've tried creating a new overlay network but it had no impact.
I also tried running the one container that binds to port 80 as an individual container on all of the systems where the others are running as services.  Docker inspect shows them all on the same 172.17.0.0 network.
I could really use some ideas on what to look at.  Thanks.

First, I load neo4j with:
docker run -d -p 192.168.2.201:7474:7474 \
  --volume=$HOME/neo4j/data:/data neo4j:3.0

Then, the subsequent containers are joining a consul cluster on the docker swarm using:
docker run -d -e "CONSULJOIN=172.17.0.2" -e "NEO4J_HOST=172.17.0.4" \
  -e "NEO4J_PASSWORD=$NEO4J_PASS" container

When instead of docker run -d I use docker create service, the expectation is that if I replace the neo4j IP with 192.168.2.201, it should work.
I also tried using an overlay network:
docker network create -d overlay my-net

And included the --net=my-net in the docker service command.  I don't know when I'll have time to debug further, but if this is enough to at least tell me what I did wrong that would be great.  If not, I'll try to get some more info as time permits.

A: You aren't supposed to specify the IP address to find the service on the cluster.  It could be on any machine on the cluster unless you add constraints to place it on a specific machine.
Once you create a network overlay you may then reference the services by container/service name rather than a specific IP address.  For example, work through a simple example before jumping back to your application.
This assumes you have created your swarm cluster already:
create a network overlay
docker network create --driver overlay my-app-network

start a simple redis service
docker service create --replicas 1 --network my-app-network \
   --name demo-redis redis

create a dummy service that we'll log into for further exploration:
docker service create --replicas 1 --network my-app-network \
--name demo-alpine alpine /bin/sh -c "trap 'exit 0' INT TERM; while true; do echo Hello World; sleep 10; done"

Note: At this point we've created a container that doesn't really do anything but we'll be logging into it so we can explore interactively to see what is going on.
find the node the demo-alpine service is running on
docker service ps demo-alpine #this will report which node is running the container

SSH into the node that is running demo-alpine and attach to it's shell
docker ps #lists all the running containers on that node, find the container ID of demo-alpine

docker exec -i -t <container id> /bin/sh

#install python,pip and redis(for python) in your demo-alpine container
apk update
apk add python
apk add py-pip
pip install redis

create a script to hit your redis service by container/service name
vi test.py and paste something like this:
import redis
import time

loopy = True

while loopy == True:
    # I'm creating the connection each time so we can see the change when we scale the Redis service
    # and the new service is brought online; connections should start rotating through the scaled Redis servers.
    # If one uses a Redis connection scoped outside of the loop then it would remain connected to the first Redis
    # service and we wouldn't see the new one come online.

    r = redis.StrictRedis(host='demo-redis', port=6379, db=0)
    r.incr('counter')
    print(r.get('counter'))
    time.sleep(3)

run the script from within your demo-alpine container
python test.py

Notice that I've referenced the redis service by its container/service name not by IP, as it could be anywhere on the cluster.  You should start seeing the incremented values print to screen.
For extra fun, if it is working for you, scale the redis service to see it scale to the already running Python script.
ssh into the manager node from another terminal session so you don't stop your demo-alpine session
docker service scale demo-redis=3

You should start seeing new increment values printing to the screen from the newly scaled redis service and the cluster should round-robin requests to each newly created redis service.  Synching that data is another story - but that wasn't the point of the quick demo.
At this point you should be able to go back to your app and get it working on your cluster.  You may have to change your code to reference the container names rather than the IP addresses but that is the point of running it on the cluster; it could be anywhere.


Rising recording artist Amber Hayes has released the lyric video for her new single Running Out of Memories.
Running Out of Memories is the lead single from Amber's new 5-track EP of the same name and is a mid-tempo track that tells a reflective story of adventure and memories-in-the-making for the song's leading lady and her beau.

Montclair Ice Menorah Sculpture Is Vandalized; Motive Still Unknown
On Wednesday, December 25, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the beautiful ice menorah sculpture located on Church Street in Montclair, New Jersey, was vandalized, with all eight branches as well as the shamash broken off. A witness reportedly observed a juvenile, approximately 10 to 12 years of age, near the menorah at that time, and called the police an hour later.
"I just want to point out that we don't know for sure what the motive behind this was," noted Rabbi Yaacov Leaf, spiritual leader of Chabad of Montclair, during an interview with The Jewish Link. "We hope to get more information. I'm frustrated that police haven't gotten surveillance footage yet. We want to know what happened. People are very triggered right now."
Rabbi Leaf spoke about the community Chanukah event that had preceded the vandalism. "We had a beautiful menorah lighting last Sunday, on the first night of Chanukah. Every year we do it on a street corner. And now it's grown; we get more and more people every year. Why were we doing it like bandits on a corner? So this year I wanted to do something more," he stated.
The rabbi continued, "The town approved it and issued a permit. They closed Church Street. I didn't know what to expect, because many people were away, but it turned out to be a wildly successful event. Hundreds of people were there, Jewish and non-Jewish."
The ice menorah sculpture was elevated in a planter that "you would have to climb up to reach the top," Rabbi Leaf added.
On Wednesday evening, he received a call from the Montclair chief of police, Todd Conforti, informing him that the ic sculpture had been vandalized.
In light of recent confirmed acts of anti-Semitism that have plagued the Jewish commity, Rabbi Leaf initially waited for official determination of the motive behind the vandalism. However, he made the following statement, and posted photos, on his Facebook page prior to Shabbat:
"That was our beautiful menorah on Sunday eve. And this is the current state of the menorah…While I don't know the motive behind this destructive act, I can't help but think [about] the possibility of this being a biased incident. I sure hope not. At any rate, let's light those menorahs and let our lights shine bright! I want to thank the MPD for their attention to this matter."
In response to the vandalism, Chabad of Montclair hosted a second menorah lighting on Sunday, the eighth night of Chanukah. This lighting brought out rabbis from local and surrounding communities, community and non-community members, and many non-Jews, in an interfaith show of support and unity that was hundreds strong.
At the lighting, Rabbi Leaf spoke of the importance of unity over divisiveness as a path forward. "I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for coming out tonight and standing in solidarity with our fellow Jews. Each one of us is making a powerful statement that we will not allow hate and divisiveness to win…I hope the world is watching and emulating this."
He continued, "An attack on any Jew, or any human being for that matter, is an attack on all of us and the values that we stand for. Tonight is the eighth night of Chanukah, a festive time for families and communities to come together and celebrate the victory of light over darkness, of freedom over oppression. Instead of joyously celebrating the last day of our festival, we are feeling fear and insecurity as increasingly we see that we are under siege by forces that threaten our lives and the values that we hold dear. We have watched with shock and dismay as multiple incidents of attacks, crimes of bias and hate, have ravaged the Jewish community throughout the week of Chanukah, as well as in the preceding months."
"What are we to make of all this? How can we put an end to this hate that's raging like a wildfire? The Lubavitcher Rebbe taught us that when confronted with darkness, our duty is to respond by increasing in light, one small deed at a time, because all of these small acts combined together will constitute a mighty force."
"Just as these attacks constitute a radical manifestation of evil, representing "baseless hatred" that lacks a cause, so too, our response must come through a radical approach of "baseless love and kindness," random acts of bestowing benevolence and compassion to others."
"It starts right here, if each one of us can take the message of Chanukah to our families and communities, one by one, we will light up this world…There are two ways we can respond to these attacks. We can hide in our homes, under our beds, or we can loudly respond with more Jewish pride and observance, just like the Maccabees did."
If this incident is, in fact, proven to have been anti-Semitic in nature, it will not be the first such incident in Montclair. Earlier this month, swastikas were discovered on desks in Montclair High School. A second incident involving a swastika at the high school occurred in November. Both were reported to Montclair police.
A third incident occurred during the fall, according to Rabbi Leaf. "A girl in the high school was wearing a Jewish star and another student shouted to her, more than once, 'F-ing Jew!'"
At press time the Montclair police could not be reached for comment due to the holiday. No motive has yet been determined and no arrests have been made.
