— -- Nearly seven years after Rebecca Zahau's mysterious death, in which she was found naked and bound at a multimillion-dollar, historic mansion in Coronado, California, her family's wrongful-death lawsuit is now going before a jury in San Diego Superior Court.
San Diego authorities ruled the 32-year-old's July 2011 death a suicide, but her mother, Pari Zahau, and sister, Mary Zahau-Loehner, believe she was murdered and are seeking unspecified damages in a civil trial that began this week.
The wrongful-death lawsuit names Adam Shacknai, the brother of Rebecca Zahau's then-boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai, as the one responsible for her death.
"This is all about finding the truth," Zahau-Loehner told ABC News. "That people understand that my sister did not commit suicide."

A case of two mysterious deaths
On July 13, 2011, police responded to a call from Spreckels Mansion in Coronado, where the body of Rebecca Zahau was found naked with her feet bound, hands tied behind her back and a shirt stuffed in her mouth. Adam Shacknai told police that he'd found her with a rope around her neck, hanging from a balcony at the mansion, and that he'd cut her down.
At the time, Rebecca Zahau was dating his brother, Jonah Shacknai, a pharmaceutical tycoon who owned the mansion. Only she and Adam Shacknai were staying at the mansion the night she died.

The crime scene left both families in shock and the San Diego Sheriff's Department puzzled. One end of the rope Rebecca Zahau was hanging from was tied to her bed while the other led to the balcony where police found her toe and heel prints, along with a male bootprint.
Detectives also found a book on a shelf in Zahau's room titled "Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft," which showed drawings of a rite -- a naked woman with her hands tied behind her back.
Rebecca Zahau's Death a Ritualistic Killing?
Coronado Mansion Suicide Was 'Rushed to Judgment,' Says Dr. Cyril Wecht
This message was found on a door when police arrived to the mansion where Rebecca Zahau was found dead.
A cryptic message -- "She saved him, can you save her" -- was scrawled in black paint in block lettering on the door of Zahau's room.
Three days later, Jonah Shacknai's 6-year-old son Max died in a hospital after sustaining injuries in a fall at the mansion.
Rebecca Zahau had been babysitting Max on July 11, 2011, when he somehow went over a second-floor railing and fell to the floor below. According to authorities, Zahau, who said she was in the bathroom when Max fell, was consumed with remorse over what had happened to the boy. Jonah Shacknai was at the hospital with Max two days later when his brother told him over the phone that Zahau had killed herself.
What happened when expert attempted to tie same knot as woman mysteriously found dead
ABC News' "20/20" retained private investigator Herman Weisberg to do a deep dive into the Rebecca Zahau case. Warning: This video includes images that may be upsetting for some.
Seven weeks after the two deaths, Sheriff Bill Gore of San Diego County held a news conference stating that Max's death was accidental. When it came to Zahau's death, investigators ruled it a suicide and said witchcraft had nothing to do with it. They say the autopsy and DNA and fingerprint analyses showed no signs that Rebecca had been attacked.
During the news conference, investigators showed a video of how a female officer was able to first tie herself up, then slip one hand out of a noose and put it back in with her hands behind her back. They concluded that Zahau did the exact same thing.
Investigators said the bootprint found was accidentally left behind by a police officer on the scene, and that only Zahau's footprints were found on the balcony, confirming their suicide conclusion.
Adam Shacknai, the brother of Rebecca Zahau's boyfriend Jonah Shacknai, called 911 after discovering Rebecca Zahau's body.
The Zahaus challenge suicide finding
Police closed the Zahau case, ruling it a suicide, but questions linger about the case.
Police questioned Adam Shacknai, who had flown in from Tennessee after hearing about his nephew's fall and was the only other person staying on the mansion grounds with Zahau at the time of her death. To remove suspicion, he agreed to take a police lie-detector test the same day he found her body, but the results were inconclusive.
Adam Shacknai was staying in the mansion's guest house the night before and said he didn't go into the main house until the next morning, on July 13, 2011, when he discovered Zahau's body. He cut her down from the rope and called 911.
Jonah Shacknai spoke to ABC News' "20/20" about the deaths of his son Max Schacknai and his girlfriend Rebecca Zahau.
Authorities determined that she had tied her own hands and feet, gagged herself, and committed suicide after listening to a voicemail from Jonah Shacknai informing her of how grave Max's condition was.

"All I can think is that Rebecca saw what had happened, felt responsible in some way," Jonah Shacknai said of his girlfriend Rebecca Zahau.
"All I can think of, is that Rebecca saw what happened, felt responsible in some way, not that she did anything, but she was entrusted with Max," Jonah Shacknai said in an exclusive interview with ABC News. "And that was too much to bear."
Authorities cleared Adam Shacknai of any involvement in Rebecca's death.
Mary Zahau-Loehner spoke to ABC News' "20/20" about the death of her sister Rebecca Zahau.
The Zahaus, though, refused to accept the authorities' conclusion that Rebecca Zahau's death was a suicide.
"They treated my sister like garbage," Zahau-Loehner said, through tears. "I believe they came to a quick conclusion that Becky mostly, likely had something to do with Max's [death] -- and she deserved what she got."
Zahau-Loehner, who strongly believes that her sister did not have a suicidal personality, took the case to the media.
The Zahau family exhumed Rebecca's remains and renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht performed a second autopsy. On "Dr. Phil," Wecht said he found there was enough evidence to suspect foul play.
The Zahaus petitioned the California Attorney General's Office to reopen the case. But, to their dismay, their petition was declined.
Dina Shacknai, ex-wife of Jonah Shacknai, spoke to ABC News' "20/20" about the deaths of her son Max Shacknai and Rebecca Zahau.
Zahaus file civil lawsuit
In July 2013, two years after Rebecca Zahau was found dead, her family filed a wrongful-death suit that named Adam Shacknai, along with Jonah Shacknai's ex-wife and Max's mother, Dina Shacknai, and her twin sister, Nina Romano, as defendants. Jonah Shacknai was not named in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claimed an eyewitness had alleged that a woman matching Dina Shacknai's description had approached the mansion on the night before Rebecca Zahau's death. Police interviewed a neighbor living two doors down from the mansion who claimed to have had heard a woman's screams and cries for help that same night.

Zahau-Loehner claimed that the relationship between Dina Shacknai and Rebecca Zahau was not friendly. Jonah says at times, Dina made it a bit difficult for Rebecca. But Dina Shacknai told ABC News that while blended families are challenging, she wanted to have a good relationship with Rebecca Zahau for Max's sake.
Mary also says that when Max fell, her sister told her, "She's like, 'Dina is going to kill me,' and I said, 'What do you mean?'" Zahau-Loehner said. "She said, 'She is going to kill me,' and she kind of repeated it several times."
Dina Shacknai called the allegations made against her in the lawsuit a "disgraceful abuse of the legal system."
"To create this fantastical story and insert us in something like this was beyond the pale of humane," she told ABC News
After hospital footage revealed that Dina was at the hospital the night of Rebecca's death, the attorney for the Zahau family dropped Dina and her sister from the lawsuit and publicly apologized. Police also discounted as unreliable the neighbor's report about the cries for help. Adam Shacknai is the only defendant who remains named in the family's lawsuit.
"I believe it has something to do with Max's death," Zahau-Loehner said. "It was almost like Max is hurt and Rebecca is responsible."
Adam Shacknai and the San Diego Sheriff's Department declined ABC News' requests for interviews. But the sheriff's department told us that it would investigate any new evidence in the case.
The Zahaus' lawyer presents his theories
In court filings, Keith Greer, the lawyer for the Zahaus, presented his own theories about what happened the night Rebecca Zahau died.
Greer said he believes that Rebecca Zahau and Adam Shacknai had a confrontation in the main house, things between them escalated and he killed her. Adam Shacknai's attorney says Adam had nothing to do with Zahau's death and called these claims "ever-evolving and baseless," saying there is no evidence tying his client to her death.
Coronado Mansion Death: Rebecca Zahau Knocked Unconscious?
Mansion Deaths Put Spotlight on Past Accusations of Violence By Jonah Shacknai
On the night of Zahau's death, Adam Shacknai says he never left the guest house. Only Rebecca Zahau's fingerprints and DNA were found at the scene, according to authorities, even though Adam Shacknai told them he had cut Zahau down from the rope, then performed chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in an effort to revive her.
Greer also said that a handwriting expert, who had analyzed the strange message painted on the bedroom door, believes there are similarities between it and Adam's handwriting.
Adam Shacknai's legal team, however, used its own expert who says handwriting on paper can't be compared to painted block letters because of the differences in the surfaces, writing instruments and ink versus paint.
Jonah Shacknai believes that his brother is innocent of any wrongdoing and that the lawsuit is outrageous.
"To be the subject of a lawsuit with a lawyer saying anything that comes into his head -- he might as well be writing fiction stories," he said.
A jury will now be hearing the case, and a verdict is expected to be reached in a month.

Natalie Morales – Est. $18 Million
Natalie Morales has been delivering compelling news coverage since stepping onto the scene as an anchor in the mid-'90s. NBC viewers welcomed the former Today host into their homes for over two decades on the network. No wonder the reporter has been able to notch up massive net worth, $18 million, after dominating the daytime and the nighttime television lineup for ages.
After studying journalism in college, she started her work stint at the News 12 in The Bronx. Here Natalie got the experience that helped her in reporting, editing, and of course, began working as a morning news anchor.
The popular reporter became a regular of WVIT-TV in Connecticut, where she did the job of delivering huge breaking news stories of the early 2000s with aplomb. Soon after, Natalie Moved to MSNBC in 2002. However, it was in 2006 after joining Today as a national correspondent. She rose to unprecedented fame.

She walked down the aisle with Burzis Kanga in 2005, but even a couple's counseling session couldn't prevent them from getting separated. Joel Schiffman is her current partner, and the duo has been together since 2013. Hoda has two kids, and we are sure she is taking utmost care of them. According to the recent information that we have, Kotb has accumulated net earnings of almost $30 million.

Auto Solutions Launch Self-Serve Car Wash App
Auto Solutions has launched Bermuda's first self-serve car wash operated by an app. The '"Touch-4-Wash" app is now available for download in Bermuda and the app-activated car wash officially opens on Friday, February 15, 2019.
The car wash can be used by everyone and is not just limited to Auto Solutions customers. The self-serve car wash can also accommodate commercial fleets from light vans up to HA panel vans and discounts will be offered to large fleets, and companies are welcomed to call 279 5055 to discuss it.
The self-serve car wash is located behind Auto Solutions and the Rubis Gas Station on St. John's Road and will be open from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Users will first need to download and register on the easy-to-use phone app called "Touch-4-Wash" available via the Apple Store and Google Play for Android. Once installed the app will allow users to purchase a wash, share the app with friends to earn free credit and gain loyalty points towards free washes.
There are three pricing tiers for the automated car wash, starting at $19.95 for the 'Express Wash,' and going up to $29.95 for 'The Works.'
"Monthly membership packages start at $65 per month and offer significant savings. The top tier $95 per month package gives customers access to daily car washes [at a limit of 1 per day] and a complimentary vacuum per wash," Auto Solutions said.
"The self-serve car wash is high tech and uses premium bio-degradable soaps. It also features 3D profiling technology to provide a custom wash for every vehicle depending on its shape, for a more efficient and safer wash. The closed-cell foam sponges achieve a deep clean while protecting the exterior of your vehicle.
"The car wash also uses rain water that is filtered so it does not leave any spot marks on vehicles as recycled water has been known to do. There is also a high-powered pressure wash system available to customers to free mud and debris from tires and rims before entering the automated car wash to ensure the most efficient clean possible. After a customer exits the automated car wash, vacuums are available at $4.95 for 4 minutes [or complimentary with membership]."
Glen Smith, Managing Director of Auto Solutions said, "We are excited to bring another option for car washing to Bermuda – one that's fast, easy to use and affordable. We recognized the need for our existing car wash to be self-serve and hope our customers will enjoy the convenience of it.
"The membership pricing of $95 per month for our top-level car wash package can't be beat. With this package, you could technically go through the car wash everyday [Monday – Sunday] which equates to just over $3.22 per car wash. At this pricing, there is no doubt in my mind that the Auto Solutions new self-serve, app-activated car wash is going to be very popular with those who like to keep their vehicle clean.
"Moreover, it has always been important for Auto Solutions to remain current in today's market so we are proud to be the first to bring the app-led car wash technology to Bermuda."
Peter Richold, Car Wash Manager, added, "The car wash is monitored by CCTV but will be manned by a member of our team, whenever it is open, to assist any customers if needed though we hope that for the most part it will be completely self-serve.
"We have also installed instructional signage to make the process as seamless as possible for our customer. It's as simple as downloading the app, following the instructions to purchase a wash and then driving your car through the car wash."
For more information on the Auto Solutions Self-Serve car wash please call 279-5070 or visit Auto Solutions on 61 St. John's Road, Pembroke.

If it's self-service then why is it not open 24 hours?
Anbu says:
Because bermudians cant be trusted with nice things unless they r being supervised. Thats pretty much it in a nutshell.
ImJustSayin says:
@Anbu Spot on. They'll will also try and find a way to cheat the system.
Maybe because Auto Solutions isn't 24/7 which means if something happens with the equipment there will be no one there to assist?
Good question Alyssa. But this is a good idea. Thank you

The numbers you see are all total returns. My portfolio returns also include fees.
Thanks to the bull's rush the last couple of months, I did achieve positive returns but was unable to beat the index this time around.
Unfortunately December ended lukewarm while the market kept its upward movement.
The new Sun Healthcare after the spinoff went on a tear before giving me the chance the add more. There have been several posts from fool.com arguing that SUNH is overvalued, which I do not agree with at all. SUNH now only makes up 2.45% of my portfolio. Hopefully there will be a chance to add more.
My top 3 holdings, GGP, GRVY and HHC were all flat in December which added to the flat results. These 3 positions alone make up 47.4% of my portfolio.
With GGP set to start distributing dividends this month, it makes holding my position worthwhile as my cost basis ensures I receive a dividend yield on cost equating to just above 11%.
GRVY will continue to be my big bet this year. The sequel to its first successful game was once again delayed throughout 2010, but 2011 looks to be the big year.
ADBE was probably the highest mover in December as the company reported quarterly revenue exceeding $1b for the first time since 1982. Again, ADBE has shown that there is nothing to be worried about Apple discriminating against flash or the threat supposed to come from HTML5.
MHH moved up considerably on news of share buybacks but I had sold out a couple of days earlier.
Sold INSM for a -34% loss.
A disappointing end to INSM for my portfolio. INSM ended up purchasing another small bio-pharmaceutical company by diluting itself. It brought the NNWC down from the 90c range to about 60c if I remember correctly. One of the cardinal rules of selling is when your thesis changes. Not only did the thesis change, management lost my trust. Peter Lynch was right.
Sold MHH for a -15% loss.
Although MHH is a great company, my initial thesis also didn't play out as well. I was expecting the unemployment rate to recover, even slowly, but that wasn't to be and it does not look like the picture is getting any better.
I've taken a big position in CCME. 4th largest position. I still need to write about this but there is enough information for you to learn about it if you can't wait. Jump over to the CCME forum where there is a discussion and some links to good analysis.
I spent one heck of a time updating and getting the latest 2011 stock valuation spreadsheets tools out and I'm sort of writing this in a daze so I'll end it here for now. You can view a live demo of the latest spreadsheets by downloading the demo stock valuation spreadsheet directly.
I will be providing a fuller overview of 2010 and reflecting on how my investment ideas played out and what I learnt throughout the year.
Long all stocks except sold positions.
Every Investor should reach a conclusiion at some point is he should just buy basket of indexses as he cant beat the market (Like 90% of the people).
What is the time fram you give yourself to give up?
Now INSM's NNWC is 60c? I think it is 50c as shareholders now only have 54% of ownership to this company.
However I think it might still be worth tracking. You can buy think company at nearly the NNWC now, and get the future potential for free, if there is any future potential at all. I am not familiar with bio-pharma industry, so can anyone give a perspective on their new drugs that they just acquired?
Jae Jun – I am fascinated with your approach, but was surprised to see your level of portfolio concentration, with 3 positions comprising 47.5% of your portfolio. With CCME as 4th largest position, what % do the top four total, if I may ask? Isn't it risky to be so concentrated?
ummm… seeing as how this is the first time I didn't beat the index and on a compounded growth basis I am thrashing the market (i'll detail previous performance as well) I think I still have some time left. Thanks for the concern though.
Yes it may be 50c. I wasn't bothering to refer to my notes now that I've completely sold out. No one knows the details of the drug and what the future prospect is at the moment. More like a guessing and hoping game. All I know is that it was a horrible waste. If the company knew its shares were cheap, then why would you pay another company in shares?? Just goes to show how little they care about shareholder returns.
I won't disclose exact position sizes but GGP is my biggest. It has grown to an enormous amount. The question for me is whether I want to sell or collect that enormous dividend. For now, I am willing to collect the dividend unless something breathtaking comes along. GRVY and HHC make up 10%. CCME is just under 10%.
I don't know how your insider buy screen comes up with ROIAK, but this one seems to be all insider sells.
Well, if you are the CEO of INSM, then what would you do? If I were their CEO, I would do the same thing. Their drug is not commercialized yet, so they still need cash to support it all the way till success. If they use cash to buy that company, then they would burn out before their drug can pass phase III.
If I was a CEO, I certainly would not pay for another company with stock if the company was trading below NNWC. I would have just used cash since that private company wasn't that expensive.
But on the plus side, it's named GRVY. Gravy train baby!
Gravy train baby!! Word on the street is CBT2 starts end of this month.
I guess the above website explains it but unable to read Korean.
I don't know if you have any better access to the makers of RobotDough.
I like their screens because they include a free cash flow parameter, but after a few uses, I notice that Free Cash Flow for the Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) is a sum of the Free Cash Flow dollars reported on each of the last four quarters' quarterly statements!
The problem with this is that the Cash Flow amounts reported each quarterly statement are almost always reported as a Year-to-Date amount. So if a company reports $100, $200, $300, then $400 on the 1Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q Cash Flow statement for Net operating activities, RobotDough will calculate Net operating activities (TTM) as $1000. But the 4Q number is actually their YTD amount, so the correct number should be $400.
I posted this on their blog, but comments are in moderation, and I have seen no response. I also write to you so that you are aware of this, if you are using them for any screening.
Oh, and additionally, as in my example if the net operating cash numbers are $100, $200, $300, $400 are for say Q2, Q3 Q4 and then Q1 of the next year, the standard way to calculate net operating cash (TTM) is to take Q1 + (q4 – Q1 of the last year), so that you have a full year's worth.
Again, this is because Q2, Q3, Q4, are all Year to date amounts.
Well, if you pay cash, then you won't have enough cash left to support the drug till commerciallization. Then what would you do?
INSM was sitting on a huge pile of cash for over a year without doing anything. From the looks of it, their strategic alternative wasn't even effective. Looks like they just paid a bunch of lawyers money to sit around.
There was plenty of opportunity to sell itself once or look for another buyer willing to buy their current IP on Iplex, but they haven't done anything with it and it looks like it will just be wasted.
Very well said on the dump-and-chase mutual fund managers!
Investing is a life time venture and performance vs the indexes (or indices) should thus be measured over significant intervals of time. To say nothing of the fact that Jae's performance annualized is well above that of the S&P500. It is rather foolish to conclude that the best way to invest is to buy the basket index (e.g. S&P500 ETFs) when clearly there are better deals out there. Perhaps when the entire index "trades" at a Shiller 10-year adjusted P/E of <15 (I would prefer <10) value investors may see the opportunity in buying the index.
Furthermore when one invests in a large index he is actually making a bet on the macroeconomic factors surrounding the market. In fact, this leads the index investor to make either one of two choices: 1) time the market in order to enter at favourable prices (remember entry price dictates future returns!) or 2) buy continuously at a regular interval regardless of market levels. I guarantee you that the individual investor will fail at #1 and thus underperform the very indices he is trying to time. As for #2, this guarantees that the long-term performance of the investor will match that of the index closely (minus fees/taxes). Given that over long time periods, the return on the S&P500 compounded is ~10% (as per Vitaliy's research in the Active Value Investor), I am sure value investors will be able to "beat the market" so long as they are disciplined and experienced.
Lastly, we should not overlook the fact that indices badly lag any form of informed investing in range-bound markets as identified by Vitaliy. In fact, the value investor's ability to spot irrational exuberance and unjustified gloom in the market during cyclical market periods allows them to handily beat the indices. Usually at the end of these range-bound markets, the PE ratios are contracted to more palatable levels, allowing value investors to buy in and ride the PE expansion upward in a secular bull market.
Remember that value investing is about pricing the stock, not timing the market. We do not see the market as some giant piggy bank ready to reward us our retirement, nor a bank account one regularly puts money into. To us stocks are like agreements with the issuing company, an agreement that states that for our participation in funding their business endeavors they will pay us in return with earnings and dividends.
I believe Mirit's views are ill-informed and reflect the off-the-cuff attitude the general public has towards investors and stocks in general. They believe anything but stashing money towards regular purchases of indices to be a waste of time and money. However, they do not realize that a passive – i.e. no thought required – approach to buying securities is in effect riskier ("markets always go up", "there's no bad time to buy" were the mantras of the tech and housing bubbles). Then again perhaps this approach is rather suited for someone who misspells "conclusion", "frame" and "indexes".
@Jason – Agreed. It's hard to convince people that the market is not "gambling" and it's not random – there are businesses behind those stocks. The most cynical think that the only way to make a buck is to have insider information. Sure, in the short term, there may be a psychological element moving the markets, but in the long run, it's always about the fundamental financial success of the company. And you can sometimes see a real variance between the market value and what you calculate as the true value of a company, and that's where you can take advantage of the markets. They are not always perfectly priced.
The newest irritating concept is that "real estate will go up sometime, even if it takes 10 years". Really? Who's to say it won't stay flat for the next 20 years? You need a crystal ball to predict that sort of thing. But for an individual company, all you need is their financial statement to get a rough idea of how much they're worth.
Do you think Ben Graham would now say that there is no excuse to do index funds anymore? That all of the info you need to be a good Value Investor is so readily available and that the "no time" argument is no longer valid?
You're right Graham did say that, and I don't disagree with his premise – those who don't wish to spend much time on investing activities should not be picking stocks for himself. Though I believe that due to the information now available to the individual investor it has become easier for him to take the role of the active or "adventurous" investor as Graham put it.
My comment was in no way meant to deride those who simply do not have the time to analyze companies – or those who choose to spend their time in other ways.
I don't think Graham would say there's no longer a point in investing into index funds. Indeed no matter how good tools become, one must still take the time to learn how to use them effectively in order to experience their benefits. Thus if one simply wishes to have the market as a very long term savings tool (with a multi-decade time frame) then I believe it is more than adequate to regularly buy index funds – certainly beats the heck out of keeping it in a savings account!
GGP is huge in your portfolio, but doesn't seem dangerous to continue to hold from a chart perspective. (I know you're not a believer!) It has been largely flat (in a well-defined trading range) for the last 10 months.
After such consolidation, it could well challenge previous highs: initially 17, then 24.5. If fundamentals are strengthening, perhaps yet more reason to believe that a breakout to highs is more likely than a breakdown.
FWIW. – BTW, sounds as if something around 10% is your normal "large position" and I think if they're stocks you know and follow closely from a fundamental perspective, that's pretty safe.
Forgot to answer your comment. Sorry!
I do appreciate you mentioning how screeners tend to sum up the past 4 quaters in cash flow because you are right. It isn't correct.
I made the same mistake in my own spreadsheets and am trying to find a way to get around it. It's very hard to fix for automated systems.
All I can say is that I'm skeptical of the market at the moment. I'm not sitting out just yet because there are still opportunities that exist.
It's times like this where I'm trying to expand my circle of competence to areas where people are afraid of.
I've stopped diving into bankrupt stocks at the moment. Just don't have the time to learn everything, but what I am trying to learn in more detail is related to mining stocks.
Not many people know how to analyze it and better yet, a majority of mining stock companies exist outside of USA which makes it even harder for the regular layman to analyze.
Yes you are right that GGP was huge in my portfolio but I JUST sold more than 1/2 of it yesterday. I slept perfectly well with such a big position and although I wanted that juicy dividend, the upside potential was limited. I'm also happy to sit in cash in this current market and just wait.
My problem last year was that I was trying too hard. That wont be happening anymore.
But these are companies where I view the downside is so limited that only direction left is up.
Very keen eye you've got.

## Configuration

### Dash

If you want to open everything in Dash you need to set:

```
let g:investigate_use_dash=1
```

This value is ignored unless you're on OS X. If you want to use Dash
conditionally based off the current filetype you can set something like:

```
let g:investigate_use_dash_for_ruby=1
```

If you want to use something else, like a URL for a single type you'd
want to use this which will override the global Dash setting:

```
let g:investigate_use_url_for_ruby=1
```

If you use a different keyword in Dash for a given language you can
set it by using:

```
let g:investigate_dash_for_ruby="rails"
```

This would set all Ruby files to open in the Rails documentation.

### URLs

If you don't like the website I chose as the default for a filetype you
can redefine it with:

```
let g:investigate_url_for_ruby="http://ruby-doc.com/search.html?q=^s"
```

Where `^s` will be replaced with the word under the cursor for Ruby
files.

### Custom Commands

You can also open documentation with arbitrary shell commands. See
`investigate-writing-commands` in the documentation for more info.

### Project specific settings

You can setup project specific settings with an `.invrc` file from the
directory you launch Vim in. For example for a Rails project you may
want to set Ruby files to open Rails documentation for that single
project but not other Ruby gem based projects you're working on. To do
that the file would look something like this:

```
[syntax]
ruby=rails
```

This will set a syntax variable:

```
let g:investigate_syntax_for_ruby=rails
```

Which entirely changes Ruby files to open in the Rails documentation.
See `investigate-conf-file` for more information.

## Installation

### With [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle)

Add:

```
Bundle 'Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim'
```

To your `.vimrc` and run `BundleInstall` from within vim or `vim +BundleInstall +qall` from the command line

### With [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)

```
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim.git
```

To generate the helptags afterwards run `:Helptags`

## Development

If you find any bugs, want any languages added, or want any default
language settings changed, please submit an
[issue](https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim/issues/new).

Earlier this month, the United States Office of Special Counsel recommended Kellyanne Conway be fired from her job as Lead White House Leaker, having determined that she repeatedly violated the Hatch Act while employed by the executive branch. She still has that job, of course, but now House Democrats are trying to decide if they should subpoena her to get her to testify.
According to Politico, the House Oversight and Reform Committee plans to hold a hearing on June 26 to discuss the Special Counsel's allegation. On June 13, they asked Conway to attend that hearing, but have heard nothing. If she doesn't show up on Wednesday, they'll vote determine whether or not to issue her a subpoena.
The Hatch Act restricts employees in the executive from engaging in certain political activities; the OSC deemed Conway a "repeat offender," can't imagine why!
Even if they do subpoena Conway, she probably won't show up—Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and Attorney General William Barr have all defied similar congressional subpoenas, citing "immunity."
Still, I'm surprised Conway hasn't jumped at the chance to testify, since we all know how much she loves divulging information to the masses. This is truly her chance to shine.

There are multiple zoos in New York City, but I'd never been to the Bronx Zoo because it was a nightmare to get to without a car. Since I had a car, we picked a day and we drove to the zoo.
The zoo has strollers, wheelchairs, and mobility aids for those who need assistance, and for the most part the zoo is very accessible. The one bit that we found very confusing was how to follow accessible paths to the penguin enclosure. Apart from that, they make a point of ensuring the zoo is accessible.
The exhibit Rhiannon was most excited to see was the Snow Leopard. I don't know why apart from their school's mascot is a leopard? I don't have a picture of that because my camera phone pictures are blurry. But we saw it, and while it was asleep when we got there, Rhi made us wait so long that we eventually saw it get up and move. Points to Rhi for her persistence.
The tigers were another big draw. Above you can see me taking a picture of Rhi taking a picture of the tiger.
After the tigers, the kids spotted a quest you can do in the zoo. At various spots marked on the map, kids can do an activity and get a stamp on their passport. After x stamps (3? I don't remember) kids start getting stickers for completing activities.
Above is one of the exhibits in the bird section. The woman was talking about different nest building materials and why different birds use different materials. They also learned about how bad plastic straws are for the environment.
We also saw the American Bald Eagle, which is the symbol of the US. Rhi had learned that in Kindergarten and was very excited to put her knowledge into practice. They're not very common in most of the country but are more common in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska (in parts of Alaska, they're actually considered a pest).
We skipped a lot of the zoo as it is very big and there got to be a point where the kids were tired, hot, and just done. Again, rather than forcing the issue, allowing them to decide when we were done made my life easier. If Ravi had been with me, we might have made the effort to see one more animal, but it was just too much for me and the nerve pain all the walking over the past few days had caused.

Playing football is a pastime that can be enjoyed by people of almost all ages. If you were under the impression that only kids play football, you need to learn more about this sport. Continue reading for some great information on the game, which will make you realize that football is for everyone.
When purchasing cleats, you need to try them on to make sure they fit perfectly. Make sure they are not too loose and they provide proper arch support. They need to let your ankles move as they need to as well. The wrong shoes can actually cause injuries.
Do not skip practices. Take your ball with you everywhere you go, and do a drill or two whenever you have free time. It's also fun to dribble the ball with your feet during normal walking.
Try to find ways that you can surprise the opposing team. All good players know how to take advantage of an opponent's weakness, especially if you're doing the same thing over and over again. Send the ball down the other end of the playing field, or even in your rear if you think the defense is getting to you quickly.
You can confuse defenders by dribbling in a different direction than you intend to ultimately go. As the defender follow you, switch sides and go the other way. This is a good way to bypass a defender.
It's hard to control a lofted ball. You should make low passes and whip the ball if you need to make a pass to another player because defenders are approaching. A lofted ball is best when your teammate is in an open area that is free from the opponent.
Communication is paramount during a football game. Talking to your teammates on the field during the game can help you all to work together as a team. Professional football players know that team communication is key, and they use it to help win games.

Promotion Watch '23: It's New Partner Season at CohnReznick RSM Does Not Aspire to Be KPMG The 259th Largest Accounting Firm Is Paying For Unlicensed Staff to Pursue a Master's at the 87th Best Online Business School Monday Morning Accounting News Brief: PwC Partner Banned; Salary Predictions; Public Accountants Have Had It | 1.23.23 Local Accounting Firm Baffled That Desperate Laid Off People Don't Want to Work There
KPMG March 7, 2014
John Veihmeyer Not at All Ashamed to Talk Scott London to Business Students
Too bad I didn't hear about this sooner or I totally would have tried to crash this party.
Freshly christened KPMG Global Chairman and still KPMG US CEO and Chairman John Veihmeyer schooled the kids at University of Richmond's Robins School of Business this week, and he wasn't at all afraid to say the L word.
Instead of pretending like Scott London never happened, he talked about how KPMG tried to get ahead of the news and make sure its staff knew the firm wasn't simply going to stick their heads in the sand and hope no one noticed.
Veihmeyer spoke about the firm's reaction in the context of a discussion about how leaders often face choices with no clear, good outcome.
Veihmeyer said he made the decision to fire London on the day — a Friday afternoon — he learned the partner was under federal investigation.
The following Monday, Veihmeyer told the firm's leadership team not to circle the wagons, but to put out a public announcement about the investigation. KPMG also withdrew as the accounting firm for the two companies that had been compromised.
"What you are really deciding is the best of the alternatives that are out there, and not necessarily a great outcome," Veihmeyer said. "You have got to get comfortable making decisions that may just be the best bad option that you have available to you at the moment."
When London was charged that same week, Veihmeyer said he had copies of the criminal complaint emailed to every employee with the message, "This is not who we are."
"I said, 'This is a teaching moment in our firm,' " he said.
"The measure of an organization is not whether you have somebody do something that is inconsistent with your values," he said. "The measure of an organization is what you do when you find out about it."
If you recall, an anonymous KPMG insider wrote a piece for us last year just after the Scott hit the fan and talked about how that very response from the firm felt like just what he wanted from the firm:
The most interesting part of the saga thus far has been the internal PR. Unlike what many people might expect in terms of massive damage control it has been simple and levelheaded. We had two short articles on our internal site which echoed the statements made public about the clients we were resigning from and our intentions to bring legal action against Mr. London.
Beyond that, there has only been one other communication and to me it was one of the simplest and most powerful items I've seen come across the email in response to a firm event. Our chairman [John Veihmeyer] sent a simple email, just a few paragraphs, not even on the normal firm letterhead with his picture. Attached to the email was a copy of the complaint. In simple terms, the email said, "Everyone read this complaint. Read what this guy did. Know that we don't stand for it and know that we won't tolerate it." No BS, no fluff and no leaving it up to us to read the complaint on Going Concern. I've had a chance to have some candid conversations with John Veihmeyer before and this email reflected those. Pundits can pick it apart but for me it was the kind of response I wanted from my firm.
Barring the viability of real time travel, what else could they have done?

I was so happy when I got an e-mail from Influenster saying I would be getting the full L'Oréal Bright Reveal collection for free as my first VoxBox. I decided to review every product separately, and then the collection as a whole. This is my opinion on the scrub cleanser!
Cleanser comes in a standard plastic tube, which is average, but the design of the label is nice. The first thing I noticed is scent – it has an overly citrus-y scent, which I adore, but if you are sensitive, you might not like it. It smells refreshing. It has a gel-like texture, which is on the runny side, and the scrubbing particles are made of perlite, which is an amorphous volcanic glass (so, naturally derived). It also contains glycolic acid, but in a very low concentration, so I don't believe it has any effect on your skin in this product.
The instructions don't mention to wet your face first, which I highly recommend. Amount of about the size of a hazelnut is enough to cover my whole face and neck, and the scrub cleanser lathers when rubbed. The scrub felt very gentle on my skin, even when I rubbed it harder. It is recommended to use it twice a day, morning and evening, but I use scrubs only 2 times a week, and don't recommend using scrubs too often. I believe this is just to use up the product faster (and repurchase faster).
The cleanser/scrub left my skin very smooth after only one use, and bright (although almost every cleanser actually brightens my face). It didn't overly dry the skin on my cheeks, and it cleaned my T-zone just enough.
All in all, I like it enough to use it, but not as often as recommended.

No. 3 Maryland needs 3OT to defeat No. 11 Rutgers
Connor Kelly finally broke through with the game-winning goal in the third overtime period.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Junior Connor Kelly's goal with 55 seconds remaining in the third overtime propelled No. 3 Maryland to a gutsy road victory over No. 11 Rutgers on Sunday night.
The win was Maryland's third in a span of nine days, which also included triumphs over No. 1 Penn State and No. 5 Albany. The result clinched a berth in the Big Ten Tournament for the Terps (9-2, 3-0). It was Rutgers' first loss at home since April 12, 2015 — also to Maryland.

Goalkeeper Dan Morris was phenomenal in goal for Maryland. After failing to record a save in the first quarter, Morris finished with a career-high 16 saves in the game. Five of his 16 saves came in the three overtime periods.
Senior Matt Rambo led all scorers with six points on two goals and four assists, while Kelly and Tim Rotanz each contributed a hat trick.
Both Maryland and Rutgers went blow-for-blow in a wild first quarter that totaled eight goals and ended with a 4-4 stalemate. Dylan Maltz opened the scoring on a feed from Rambo, and Ben Chisolm also added a goal to five the Terps a 2-1 lead.
Rutgers answered with a three-goal run over the next three minutes, but Rotanz managed to draw the Terrapins even with a pair of back-to-back unassisted goals.

The Scarlet Knights opened another two-goal advantage early in second-quarter action, but freshman Jared Bernhardt quelled the run with his 15th goal of the season.
Maryland then completely changed the face of the game after a John Tillman timeout with under a minute left in the half. Rambo evened the score with 34 seconds left on a beautiful dodge down the middle, and Kelly gave the Terps a 7-6 lead 11 seconds later on a feed from Austin Henningsen.
The Terps added to their goal-scoring run after the halftime break as Rambo found the back of the net 59 seconds into the frame and Heacock added his first of the game for a 9-6 advantage.
After both teams traded goals, Rutgers stormed back with three consecutive goals to tie the game at 10 apiece.
Maryland seemed in control as it took a 12-10 lead in the fourth quarter, but Rutgers responded and forced overtime.

Round-Up: Michael Rummenigge
On a weekly basis, miasanrot.com will provide a 2-for-1 information combo meal. It contains a link list to (hopefully) worthwhile texts about the red giant. Each round-up is dedicated to a former Bayern player who is celebrating his birthday in that week. This time, we're celebrating the brother of a well-known Bayern figure.

Bayern Munich started with back to back wins yet there still are a lot of (media) distractions surrounding the club before the tough away game at Bayer Leverkusen. This week's round-up is dedicated to Michael Rummenigge.
As a 17-year-old, he followed his brother from Lippstadt to Bavaria. After some initial difficulties, in which the reputation of Karl-Heinz certainly played a role, he debuted late in the 1982/83 Bundesliga season. In the following season, Rummenigge established himself: He played in 33 of 34 games and scored 11 goals. Until 1988, the Westphalian scored 44 goals in 152 games in the red jersey and did have his share in winning five titles.
Rummenigge had to pay the price for his good performances for the reds after his move to Borussia Dortmund. Eventually he established himself at the black-and-yellows and even was appointed captain under coach Ottmar Hitzfeld. During his stay at the BVB he also won the DFB Cup. His last career move brought him to Japan, where he played the final two years of his active career for the Urawa Red Diamonds in the Japanese J-League.
Today, the trained banker is working as a player's agent, among others Jerome Boateng was one of his clients until 2015. Moreover, Rummenigge is the head of a football school. We congratulate Michael Rummenigge to his 50th birthday!
The Italian Gazzetta dello Sport ranked the top 50 talents born 1996 or later and #KINGsley is greeting us from the top of the list. Schalke's Sane and Anderlecht's Tielemans were placed second and third. Besides Sane, two other German players made the list: Dahoud and Brandt.
Bayern Munich used the deadline day to react to the injuries of Jerome Boateng and Javier Martinez. Serdar Tasci was loaned out from Spartak Moscow until the end of the season and Bayern have an option to buy him in the summer. Further details can be found in this article by Deutsche Welle.
Constantin Eckner (of Spielverlagerung fame) also had a look at the new player and what role he will play at Bayern in his article about the "best winter transfer window signings in Bundesliga".
During his first training session, Serdar Tasci sustained a head injury which made him miss his own unveiling press conference (Sammer used the stage well) and it is still unclear whether he will make the squad against Leverkusen, according to Stephan Uersfeld on ESPN.
Deloitte just published their 19th edition of their annual Football Money League and Bayern have lost a place for the first time in 12 years and are now ranked 5th, behind Real, Barca, United and PSG. The complete Deloitte analysis can be downloaded here. An in-depth analysis of the numbers (especially the foreign exchange effects) by The Swiss Ramble can be found on his blog.
Despite the British Premier League's high global presence, Bayern Munich managed to currently beat their English rivals (including United) in digital fan engagement in China, according to this article on the BBC website.
In an interview for Digital Sport, Cristian Nyari (FC Bayern Munich's Media Manager) gives an insight in the digital strategy of Bayern Munich (US).
Rory Smith is dividing the top coaches in three groups in his article: philosophers (Guardiola, Bielsa, Conte, van Gaal), pragmatists (Koeman, Simeone, Mourinho) and a group that contains PSG's Blanc and Bayern's future coach Ancelotti. He calls them evolutionists, fine tuners.

COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Pope Francis on Saturday named 66-year old Kidapawan Bishop Romulo dela Cruz as the new archbishop of Zamboanga.
His Eminence Orlando Cardinal Quevedo made the announcement to priests in the archdiocese of Cotabato and diocese of Kidapawan Saturday night after he was informed by Papal Nuncio archbishop Giuseppe Pinto about Pope Francis' announcement in the Vatican.
Father Jonathan Domingo of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate said the appointment of Bishop Dela Cruz as archbishop of Zamboanga was another blessing for Mindanao after Pope Francis named Archbishop Quevedo, an Oblate, as cardinal and member of the College of Cardinals.
Quevedo, the eighth Filipino cardinal and one of the two in active service, had his 5-in-1 celebration at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral here with President Benigno Aquino and Papal Nuncio as among his special guests last Tuesday (Mar. 11), four days before Pope Francis named Dela Cruz as archbishop.
Quevedo turned 75 last March 11 and celebrated his natal day with a thanksgiving mass for his appointment as cardinal, his priestly ordination and his 34 years as bishop and archbishop and the 75th year of OMI presence in the Philippines.
Dela Cruz of the Diocesan Clergy of Cotabato (DCC) has been the bishop of Kidapawan since June 2008 when then Pope Benedict named him as head of Kidapawan diocese replacing then Bishop Romulo Valles who was also named bishop of Zamboanga archdiocese.
Cardinal Quevedo said the priest who would succeed Dela Cruz as bishop of Kidapawan has not been named.
Dela Cruz was born on June 24, 1947 in Balasan, Iloilo.
In December 1987, Pope John Paul II appointed him as Coadjutor Bishop of Isabela, Basilan. His episcopal ordination was on March 16, 1988, and later became Bishop-Prelate of Isabela, Basilan by Succession.
Dela Cruz was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of San Jose de Antique on Jan. 8, 2001. He was installed on April 3, 2001. He succeeded as Bishop of San Jose de Antique on March 16, 2002.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed him Bishop of Kidapawan, Cotabato, on May 14, 2008. He was installed Bishop on June 19, 2008.
Currently, Dela Cruz serves as a member of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and Mass Media and vice chair of the Episcopal Office on Women.

"Most people overestimate the amount of change that will occur in two years and underestimate the change that will occur over ten years" – Bill Gates
In 2001, the future was over already! Slow growth was sure to follow!
That's a phrase that I often use when opening a keynote. When I'm on stage, about to blast into a high velocity 45 minute presentation that links fast-paced trends to the need for various types of innovation, whether with business models, customer support, skills access or new forms of revenue where revenue hasn't existed before — I need an effective hook to grab the attention of the audience.
With the phrase from Bill Gates put out to the audience, I sometimes reach into the past in order to put the future into perspective. After all, it is very true that most people really don't think about how quickly their world is changing around them.
With that in mind, let's go back to this week in the year 2001. It was an innocent time — pre 9-11. The dot.com world had just collapsed, and the world was in the midst of another economic downturn.
The Internet? It was over, folks! We'd just witnessed the flameout of a huge number of dot.com startups — and people had convinced themselves that technology had run its course. And yet others knew that something big was still yet to come. It's fascinating to compare the different perspectives of the time with the reality that resulted today.
(By the way, Apple's market cap in March 2001 was about $10 billion US. Microsoft? $319 billion US.Today, Apple is over $300 billion, while Apple is about $228 billion.)
Just ten years ago this week, this is what you would have seen:
Internet access in cars? If you want to go online, get the (beep) off the road!
The San Diego Union-Tribune, 31 March 2001
the implication being, of course,
that we would never see anything so silly as having Internet access in automobiles. Today, of course, virtually every car company in the world is working feverishly to provide an enhanced dashboard experience involving a vast array of sophisticated technologies including, of course, all kinds of links to Internet-oriented data.
MLB to Start Charging For Audio on Internet
The San Francisco Chronicle, 28 March 2001
early on, it was apparent that major brands that had loyal followers could invent and build new business models which would reach out directly to their fan base. MLB has always been spot on in this regard. Ten years after charging for audio, they've launched an extremely sophisticated, flat-fee iPad application that allows streaming access to a full range of live and archived video. Innovators don't fight the future — they adapt to it and discover opportunity.
Michael Jackson TV goes on the Internet
The Globe and Mail, 27 March 2001
back in the day, you had to be a global entertainment superstar to dump some video up on the Internet. It took megabucks to do it, and megageeks to figure it out. Ten years later, everybody has their own personal TV channel on YouTube, and the entire concept of TV has been forever reshaped.
Nortel Networks Teams to Create High-Performance Internet Village in California
Reuters Significant Developments, 30 March 2001
Nortel — and a few other tech companies — blew up in spectacular fashion just a few years later, a victim of bad business decisions, an accounting fraud or two, and a basic inability to keep up with furious rates of technologiical and market change. Key message: today's heroes can often become tomorrow's zeros, faster than you might think. Do any of today's fast social media startups know that they could soon too be in the dustbin? Complacency is a dangerous thing, especially in the context of history.
Many teachers find Internet of little use
Milwaukee Sentinel Journal, 30 March 2001
well, this might still be true today in some cases, but certainly not in many other cases. Demographically, we're just a few years away from a time when almost every teacher will have grown up with the Internet from their teens. And certainly students find the Internet to be of use – most studies show that it is the most important source for homework research!
Microsoft warns of problems with Internet Explorer
Associated Press Newswires, 30 March 2001
well, maybe some things just don't change over a decade!
Sign of the times: Companies call for Internet appreciation day
put this headline in context. We'd just witnessed the great dot.com collapse. All kinds of dubious Internet startups were shutting down; there was gloom throughout Silicon Valley and other tech-hotspots. I remember one reporter calling me: "Since the Internet is now over, what's next?" The mainstream and business media convinced themselves in this state of gloom that the Internet would have little to no impact on politics, business and society in the future. And so some folks thought it was important that we just sit back and consider how important the Internet might still be. Quaint.
Railroads, Like the Internet, Once Steamed the Economy
International Herald Tribune, 31 March 2001
the implication being, of course, that in this state of doom-and-gloom, the Internet would no longer have an impact on the global economy. Oops! Then the world went flat — the Internet proved to be the backbone which steamrollered business models, provided the genesis for the birth of entire new industries, had a major influence on marketing and branding, caused global revolutions, and led to a few new multi-gazzillionaires (Facebook, Twitter, MyTube didn't come along till many years after this headline.)
Napster, CD Burning, Internet Retail Are Hot NARM Confab Topics
Billboard, 31 March 2001
back then, people stole music and burned it onto CD's. Today, the music industry business model is all about the cloud, with systems like RDIO, Spotify and, maybe, Apple's forthcoming cloud initiative set to continue to reshape the future. Ten years ago, the music industry was busy battling the future. Ten years later, many in the old music industry are still battling the future, while the new business models that will sustain music over the long term are being built today by faster, fleeted footed youngsters.
Any Patient Can Now Send Internet Messages Directly To Their Doctor's Fax Machine
Internet Wire, 30 March 2001
some braniac dreamed up a new business model, except they forgot to realize that within a decade, 75% of American doctors would carry some type of mobile or PDA device with them while working. History has shown us that many folks often miss the signs of massive technological shift — the result being that a great idea is often out of date before it gets to go mainstream
Struggling eMachines cuts 16% of jobs Computers The new CEO also eliminates most Internet advertising ventures.
The Orange County Register, 30 March 2001
the beginning of the end of the "personal computer." eMachines still exists, busy manufacturing low-end computers. 10 years later, technology growth is all about mobile devices, tablets / iPads, embedded technology, and who knows what else is yet to come?
Internet Is Dominated By the Rich World, Says Mando.
All Africa, 29 March 2001
to be fair, it was difficult to get onto the Internet 10 years ago in many third-world countries. It still is today. And yet, we've witnessed throughout the Middle East and northern Africa the impact that the network can have upon autocractic regimes. In terms of numbers, the Internet is no longer dominated by the 'rich world,' and in terms of democracy, it's having its biggest political impact far beyond that world.
The great Internet firewall of China
The Nation (Thailand), 26 March 2001
ten years on, it is kind of chilling to realize that the nation has now spent a decade learning how to make the firewall work better. Here's your challenge of the day: what will the headline of 26 March 2021 have to say about the 'great Internet firewall of China?" Will they have succeeded, or will have it become the most massive FAIL of the century?
So that's a look back at headlines involving the Internet but a mere ten years ago. What if we go back 20 years? In my news service, I could only find one for this particular week in which the word "Internet" was mentioned in the headline:
General Atomics, Performance Systems International, UUNET Technologies establish first Commercial Internet Exchange
BusinessWire, 27 March 1991
in other words, but 20 years ago, today's Internet was but a glimmer in the eye of but a few thousand geeks worldwide. A few networks were beginning to realize they could do something awesome if they plugged together. I was one of them. By 1991, I had already been online for some 9 years, starting out with early BBS systems, services like the Source and BIX (Byte Information Network). Yet all of a sudden, in 1991, visions were crystallizing of an opportunity to use a fast-paced emerging standard known as TCP/IP to link together all the computers in the world. Many of us thought the results would be astonishing. That's an understatment.
So let me ask this: what are the headlines that you think you'll see this week in 2021?
How small is your world? How big is your thinking?
So what do you do with the information you learned from this post? Go and read, "How small is your world? How thinking big could save you in the 21st century economy"

Rendering assistance
Editorial Type: Case Study Date: 08-2020 Views: 771 Tags: Storage, Cloud, Infrastructure, Qumulo PDF Version:
Digital entertainment studio Cinesite is able to bring motion pictures to audiences faster with Cloud rendering
Cinesite is a leading digital entertainment studio with credits on animated feature films such as The Addams Family, Extinct and Riverdance and VFX projects such as Avengers: Endgame, Rocketman, The Witcher, and the James Bond franchise. The company employs nearly 1,000 digital artists and staff, who work from offices across London, Montreal, Berlin, Munich, and Vancouver.
Cinesite's award-winning visual effects and animation teams help bring filmmakers' visions to life. To support complex and demanding workflows for visual effects, and conceiving and realising CG-animated films, Qumulo and AWS enabled Cinesite to leverage high-performance storage at scale, helping Cinesite achieve more than the studio ever thought possible, including developing scalable 16K video workflows for future applications.
Cinesite's existing infrastructure included a newly-installed but older generation storage technology from another provider that supported approximately 500 render nodes in the Montreal data centre, and a workflow that leveraged AWS for occasional overflow rendering.
FRUSTRATIONS DRIVE NEW THINKING
During the recent production of a full-length animated feature film, Cinesite ran into technology issues with the existing cluster it had recently purchased. That vendor's system was causing network slowdowns for unknown reasons - for up to minutes at a time.
Eventually, the slow-downs became full interruptions - freezing the productivity of 465 artists for as long as an hour. The system freezes could happen at any time, and that put production schedules at risk.
JUMPING INTO ACTION
Frustrated with that vendor's system and its inability to solve the problem, Cinesite approached Qumulo for ideas. Qumulo quickly deployed hardware nodes onsite, and was able to get Cinesite back up and running in short order.
After the immediate need was solved, Qumulo engineers worked with the Cinesite team to diagnose other issues they were facing with their legacy systems to fully restore network speed. In fact, on one occasion, the Cinesite technical team was working on a solution well into the early morning - and reached out to Qumulo's customer success team at that unusual hour. Within sixty minutes, the Qumulo team responded with suggestions for configuration changes that would further increase network performance. Cinesite implemented those suggestions, got the performance it needed, and "from that day forward, we haven't looked back," said Graham Peddie, Chief Operating Officer, Cinesite Montreal.
PLANNED TO EXPAND
Cinesite knows first-hand the challenges of resource planning. "We can't plan for the peaks, so we plan for an average," said Peddie. That is the way planning had worked in the past. It was clear Cinesite would need a modern, cloud- native solution to move to a competitive scale.
With the visual effects (VFX) and feature animation division pipelines at full capacity, and no easy way to burst to the cloud at the scale Cinesite needed for the extraordinary render and storage requirements, the studio again turned to Qumulo for a way out.
To achieve the scale Cinesite was after, moving the workload to AWS US East (Virginia) region from the smaller region they had been using was required. With the existing solution, this would have been no easy feat. With Qumulo, it was seamless. "The only way we could expand to the new zone was by implementing Qumulo cloud storage," said Peddie. "This approach allowed us to spin up the machines and store data for offsite rendering on AWS US East (Virginia). Without Qumulo, we wouldn't have been able to do this or meet our deadlines."
Qumulo's hybrid file software runs the same enterprise file system in the cloud as on-prem, and data can be natively and seamlessly replicated between instances or across regions. Bursting to 20, 200, or even 2,000 high-quality render nodes on AWS with Qumulo to keep pace with all that power is no problem. Instances can be spun up in minutes, and torn down just as quickly.
Spencer Kuziw, Lead Systems Administrator, Cinesite Montreal, explained: "Qumulo is a huge benefit to us. We can spin up as many high quality render nodes as we need, in as many regions as we need, without impacting our local storage. And the Qumulo hybrid cloud software can handle whatever we throw at it. It is an essential part of our cloud deployment strategy."
QUMULO GETS IT
Customer support is another crucial benefit. Cinesite's media and entertainment clients operate within pressure-packed deadlines, and the studio has to be highly proactive to meet their needs. "Qumulo is different," Peddie said. "When it comes to our workflows and deadlines, Qumulo gets it. They know that we're under pressure. They know that solutions can't take weeks and months. We need issues solved quickly. So, for me, Qumulo's responsive and proactive customer support was an important benefit and set the company apart from all the other vendors we've seen."
FINGER ON PULSE
Analytics and real-time visibility are also crucial to Cinesite. Qumulo's real-time analytics tools enabled the studio to identify and fix pipeline inefficiencies. During a recent migration, real-time activity and usage analytics made it immediately clear that a script was making multiple copies of a directory, eating up space.
Qumulo analytics show activity in real-time, including by directory growth, most active network IPs, most active file paths, and so on, making it simple to pinpoint a problem and quickly clean it up. Typically on other systems, common issues like that go unnoticed and storage capacity simply fills up, leaving admins with the task of running reports, waiting days for them to complete, then conducting forensics.
EYES ON THE FUTURE
Cinesite continues to consider additional cloud options to take advantage of the latest media and entertainment technologies. The team is exploring new and exciting projects like 16K-plus file sizes and unique applications outside of cinema. Peddie said, "We could never have tackled these technological and creative challenges without a cloud solution. Qumulo has enabled us to boost Cinesite's competitive position within the industry."

Strong, left footed stepover king that emerged from Colo Colo's youth team to become a virtual ever present in their Apertura winning side in the second half of 2014. In addition to becoming a title winner, Delgado was called up for international duty by Jorge Sampaoli and scored the winning goal for his country in a 1-0 friendly victory over Haiti in September 2014.
A regular starter on the left for Colo, Delgado would often be drafted into centre forward duty, more as a false nine than any kind of out and out target man, and scored five times during his team's title push. Equally happy on the right, Delgado's inclusion in the IBWM100 at the tail end of 2014 was a no brainer. A strong and skillful young winger able to make play as well as get on the end of things, here stood the brightest little star emerging into an already impressive national side. What could possibly go wrong?
Ropey. We fully expected Delgado to be making something of a splash in Europe by now, even if we prefer to see young footballers stick around as long as possible at the club in which they've broken through. Why hasn't it happened? Quite simply, Delgado has been poor for pretty much the entirety of the year. His last selection at international level was in January and there's been no case for further caps since. Nondescript Clausura and Libertadores campaigns have been and gone for Colo Colo in which their boy wonder really didn't deliver. A change in management at El Cacique has seen José Luis Sierra arrive and the former Unión Española coach has clearly been less enamoured with Delgado than his predecessor Hector Tapia.
2015 really has been a downward spiral for Delgado. A year that started off with the occasional hook late on in games morphed into positional changes and then just not making the first team at all. None of this is unjustified either. Delgado's listless form had dipped so badly that Colo Colo identified Huachipato's Martín Rodríguez as the better option in the season break and have continued to make use of the young winger with Delgado retaining a place on the substitutes' bench.
When we looked at Delgado last year his career trajectory couldn't have been more perfectly aligned. He's a smart player and while very reliant on his left foot, it's a good'un and he's capable of playing anywhere across the pitch. If we are going to identify where things have gone wrong we'd suggest it's Delgado's lack of pace. He's certainly no slouch, and is skilful enough to receive and negotiate an opponent quickly, but lacks the explosive burst of pace and power that modern wide players require.
As it goes this might actually turn out to be a good thing. Delgado is strong, technically adept and adaptable enough to play elsewhere in midfield so this could be the longer term calling. There's enough in the locker to suggest Delgado will come again, but it's been a tough twelve months.


SIAD performs corrective maintenance on International Standards Organization Shelters and containers used in the storage and shipment of operational stock sets, kits, and outfits. SIAD designed and manufactured a container rotator to improve its ability to perform the corrective maintenance. The Depot has a patent pending on the design of the container rotator and has built container rotators for outside customers.
Prior to the use of container rotators, employees used a P&H Superstacker Crane, two forklifts, and wooden skids to elevate, support, and rotate containers. This process required eight moves for each container, and 12 material handling equipment moves. The average man-hours expended for repair of each container was 8.5. Due to the number and types of movements required in this process, employees were placed in awkward and potentially hazardous positions. Additionally, the containers were subject to increased damage due to the handling process.
SIAD recognized the need to develop a safe method to allow access to all sides of the containers while reducing the need for crane and forklift vehicles. In 1996, SIAD designed and built a towable container rotator (Figure 2-1). The shelters and containers are mounted to the container rotator by four locking mechanisms at the base of each shelter or container. The shelters and containers can be easily rotated and locked into position for safe access to all sides. The container rotator utilizes a pneumatic rather than a hydraulic piston to rotate the fixture. Because the container rotator is towable, the shelters and containers can be moved to welding, shot blasting, and painting locations without having to be removed.
The Depot has six container rotators on hand at a fabrication cost of approximately $10,000 each. Currently, two additional units are in production. SIAD has built and sold two units to outside customers. The units utilize all commercially available parts.
Use of the container rotator has greatly improved employee safety by eliminating awkward and potentially hazardous situations, and also improved hazardous waste recovery by increasing the control of spent shot blast residue. Use of the container rotator has reduced container moves by 50%; material handling equipment moves by 67%; personnel requirements by 67%; and repair cycle time from 8.5 hours to one hour. By using the container rotators, SIAD has provided a cost savings of more than 80% to its customers.

In my recently released white paper for NanoMarkets, I ask (and answer) whether nanotechnology slips into existing markets or creates new ones. After I handed in my report, I learned even more about this question from a source I met in Washington.
One of the early pioneers of nano in consumer applications -- who is now helping to build Australia's and Britain's nano infrastructure -- told me that while integration into existing processes (he didn't specifically mention markets, though) is fine if you want to attract VC funding, but at the national level where he's working, you really do need to build an entirely new manufacturing infrastructure from the ground up -- something that can really connect the nanoscale to the real world.
Of course, he has a self-interest in telling me this (since he's in the business of building nano/micro integration facilities), but it did make me think a little bit about the difference between the need for companies to integrate with existing technologies for short-term survival, while also planning far ahead for an entirely new manufacturing world that will spring up.
I asked him whether he sees this infrastructure being built in the United States. His answer was short. "No."
This, as they say, might be a "story for another day."

Русь, або Жіночий батальйон «Русь» — незаконне збройне формування, входить до складу 2-го армійського корпусу Російської Федерації. Формально знаходиться у підпорядкуванні організації ЛНР.

Формувався у місті Сорокине. Комплектувався виключно жінками.

Історія
Створювалося бандформування в кінці червня 2014 року на основі шахтної охорони «Краснодонвугілля». Командиром цього батальйону є Віктор Веремеєнко, позивний «Мансур». Про командира цього незаконного збройного формування відомо, що він уродженець Краснодона, народився 13.07.1968 р. Саме це місто вказане як основне місце дислокації бандформування «Русь». Командир бандформування вважає що жінки менш схильні до дезертирства, як це все частіше відбувається з чоловіками.

На початку квітня 2015 року бандформування було роззброєне а потім переведене в пряме підпорядкування «Міноборони ЛНР». При цьому лише частина особового складу увійшла до так званої «народної міліції». Раніше в мережі були опубліковані фото з тренувальних стрільб «Русі».

The one thing you will realize when you take your first Transatlantic Voyage or cruise is that it is completely different from anything you have experienced before. Many people just do not get it and repeatedly say they will never cross the pond on a ship! Crossing the Atlantic on a Cruise ship, or Liner, is truly a unique and amazing experience with its own character and charm. Contrary to the belief that there is nothing to do but eat and drink, nothing could be further from the truth. Compared with a traditional cruise vacation, a transatlantic crossing can be whatever you want it to be. Many people use it a s a great way to relax and unwind and travel between the US and Europe (or vice versa) in a civilized manner. No airport lounges and flights to contend with. Sheer Bliss.
We have made a number of transatlantic crossings but still remember the anticipation of our first crossing. We were not sure what to expect and worried about being bored, it was the exact opposite. Loved it so much, we have been again and again. So to help you in your planning here are some of our top tips. There are lots of cruises leaving from NYC and this a also a good place to spend a few days on a pre-cruise vacation.
The choice is yours. A re-positioning cruise is where the cruise companies move their cruise ships around at the start or end of a season in a particular region. Examples of this are from Europe last in the year back to the US and Caribbean and the same in reverse at the beginning of the year. There are always some great bargains to be had as the lines try to fill their ships.
The second option is a themed cruise taking a particular route accord the atlantic taking in various ports along the way. A good example of this is Seabourn's "Route of the Vikings" which traces the routes taken in ancient times.
The third option is to take the Cunard Queen Mary 2 on one of its scheduled transatlantic voyages from New York. Built to cross the Atlantic Ocean is style and comfort the Queen Mary 2 is the world's only Liner and and a true icon of luxury at sea. This is our preferred choice.
With a minimum of seven or more consecutive days at sea there is something for everyone to do. From Dancing Lessons to Lectures, Wine tasting to Cookery demonstrations – the list is endless. And for those who just want to chill out and read a book (or kindle) there are plenty of public areas to settle down and relax. If the weather is kind then there is even the opportunity to catch some sun.
On most voyages there are interesting speakers and sometimes celebrities who give a series of talks an a whole range of subjects, and there is sure to be something that takes your fancy. From Royal correspondents to Nasa Spacemen, war heroes to simply interesting people.
Most ships these days have superb fitness centres where you can undertake all kinds of fitness programs. For those who prefer more organised training sessions there are generally classes offering spinning, aerobics, Yoga, Pilates and most other forms of exercise. For the early riser there are normally classes just to get you going before breakfast!
If the Fitness centre is not your thing, then walk around the ship to burn those calories . The Queen Mary 2's boasts a wraparound outdoor walking track/promenade deck, a mere three times around is 1.1 miles. On other ships, you can walk round the decks nine or ten times to complete one mile. Well worth it though. Keep a track of your steps and stairs climbed on your mobile phone. 10,000 steps a day is my target.
It is quite a well known fact that the average cruiser puts on between 5-7 pounds in weight on a seven day cruise. That's fine if you need to gain some weight but for most of us this is one of the sacrifices we have to make to make sure we enjoy our cruise to the maximum. There are many ways to avoid taking in too many calories and most cruise lines cater for this with "healthy eating" options. Salads and fresh fruits are in abundance on a cruise so make the most if it. Go easy on the Alcohol as these empty calories make weight gain easier than ever.
The other thing to watch is salt intake which has the effect of helping your body to retain water and things like your ankles and feet start to swell. Reducing your salt intake helps avoid this problem and is healthier for you at the same time.
Despite what you may think, the Atlantic Ocean can be flat calm at times. Several of our crossings have been just like a mill pond. The calmness of the North Atlantic is very eerie and if you couple this with the banks of fog that often exist when the sea is flat, this can make this experience feel simply weird. These are the days to be up on deck and taking in the sea air and getting some exercise!
Of course the Atlantic is also known for its bad weather and rough seas. Choosing a midships cabin or stateroom lower down in the ship makes any movement less pronounced and you are less likely to feel uneasy. Read our Our Top Tips for preventing Seasickness on a Cruise for more detailed guidance.
Our favorite ship to make the crossing – Cunard Queen Mary 2 is on Deck 2 forward. Mid-ships on a low deck and you'll hardly feel the infamous thirty-foot seas and gale force winds!
There are lots of theories about which way to cross the pond and everyone has their favorite direction. We prefer West to East because of the added hour each day. Some people prefer east to West particularly if sailing into New York. You need to be up early on the last day as you sail past the Statue of Liberty and on into new York. For me there is only one way to make the crossing and that is on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 which cruise ship (liner) offering regularly scheduled non-stop transatlantic crossings nearly year round. The elegant Queen Mary 2 is the only true ocean liner in service today. Built for transatlantic voyages in the North Atlantic, Queen Mary takes them in her stride.
You decide…. Whether you decide eastbound or west, re-positioning cruise or direct voyage, it is truly an amazing experience that you will never forget.
