Anatomically, as you see in the graphics above, the onion looks like a nested network. We know from systems theory today that life consists not of hierarchies but of networks within networks, a horizontal structure. In addition, the golden proportions can be made out in every onion. It's a perfect piece of Divine symmetry and proportionality.
Spiritual development thus is nothing but peeling our onion skins … in order to gain ever more perfection … and this is the ultimate metaphor for the science of cookery: it's ultimately a spiritual quest of its finest!
I started photography at the age of 9 with a Kodak Instamatic, at age 16, with videography. After my long years of studying law, philosophy and psychology did not leave me time for pursuing my interest in photography. It was only in 1985, when I was thirty years old that I could buy a good camera, the Minolta 300. The kit 35-70 mm zoom kit lens was excellent and the camera overall as well. I photographed with this camera, inter alia, these two collections about the Acropolis, and Aegina island, in 1986.
My first digital photo and video camcorder, bought in 2000, was the Sony VX-2000, which I was very happy with for seven years. I photographed with this camera my food photos 2002-2004 in the Provence, and I owned it from 2000 to 2007.
In 2007 I bought the Canon EOS 400D and was very satisfied with it, while the kit lens was from cheap plastic, yet the photos were amazing despite all, and even more so, the absence of grain even at high ISO—which I later found is one of the great pluses of all Canon cameras.


Ghoul is a latest Netflix series that falls within a multi-genre category of political-horror-suspense-drama. As per the title, the series is about ghoul, an evil-spirit that robs graves and feeds on dead bodies according to Islamic mythology.
Set in a dystopian world, Ghoul takes place in a stringently controlled society which ultimately obstructs a free and open society; a world that may very well be a reality in the future.
The plot revolves around an officer, Nida Rahim (Radhika Apte) who has been trained to strictly follow the new orders of the governing authority. Anyone opposing to the establishment is termed "anti-national" and a terrorist against the country.
To prove her loyalty, Nida even gets her father arrested for possessing Philosophy books – a crime as per in this not-so-utopian society.
She is recruited to interrogate a terrorist Ali Saeed (Mahesh Balraj) at a detention center along with a team led by Colonel Sunil Dacunha (Manav Kaul). However, there's more to this than meets the eye.
Each character holds a "shameful secret," which makes them a victim to the ghoul who thrives on their guilt and feeds on their flesh, literally.
Though the series isn't as gripping or scary as expected, it leaves you pondering over the status quo. The makers have portrayed an intolerant version of the future we are headed towards, which may well require a confrontation by a demon.
Simply put, Ghoul is about twisted justice and a tale of evil over evil. It could've been a movie instead of a 3-part series. Nonetheless, it's a one-time-watch for the concept.

The SASI Model
The regional economic model SASI was developed at the Institute of Spatial Planning of the University of Dortmund since 1996 in co-operation with the Technical University of Vienna in the EU project SASI (Spatial and Socio-economic Impacts of Transport Investments and Transport System Improvements). The model has since been applied in several EU projects, such as IASON (Integrated Appraisal of Spatial Economic and Network Effects of Transport Investments and Policies), ESPON 2.1.1 (Territorial Impacts of EU Transport and TEN Policy) of the European Spatial Planning Observation Network (ESPON), the Interreg-IIIb project AlpenCorS (Alpen Corridor South) and the projects STEPs (Scenarios for the Transport System and Energy Supply and their Potential Effects) and ESPON ET2050 (Territorial Scenarios and Visions for Europe).
The SASI model has been continuously further developed in the course of the projects. Most recent developments include the modelling of generative effects of transport infrastructure investments and the inclusion of the West Balkan countries into the study area. The present state of the model is described in

Patwardhan film not suited for unrestricted viewing, Doordarshan tells Supreme Court
PressMay 26, 2006
Siddharth Narrain, The Hindu, 26, May 2006
`It could arouse negative passions and uses obscene and strong language'
# Matter of policy not to telecast adult films
# Film has a secular message: counsel
# Bench seeks screening in court before next hearing
NEW DELHI: Doordarshan on Thursday told a two-judge Vacation Bench comprising Justice A.R. Lakshmanan and Justice L.S. Panta of the Supreme Court that it was opposed to the screening of National Award-winning film-maker Anand Patwardhan's documentary film `Father, Son and Holy War' because it could arouse "negative passions" and uses "obscene and strong language."
Doordarshan is appealing against the ruling of the Bombay High Court that it must screen the film.
Counsel for Doordarshan Rajeev Sharma said the film had been given a UA certificate by the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC).
He said that it was a matter of policy for Doordarshan not to telecast adult films.
"We have nothing against him (Mr. Patwardhan) but the question is whether it is a film that must be displayed on a public medium where there is unrestricted access," he said.
Counsel for Mr. Patwardhan, Prashant Bhushan, said: "The film has a secular message that is relevant to our times. It is a critique of masculinity. Doordarshan has a policy of showing films that have won national awards, and has constituted a screening committee for the purpose. You may have to show violence to expose misery caused by communal violence."
Mr. Justice Lakshmanan and Mr. Justice Panta have requested Doordarshan to arrange for a screening in the Supreme Court premises on July 20, a day before the next hearing.
The film was submitted for telecast on the national network of Doordarshan after it won the 1995 National Awards for `Best Investigative Documentary' and `Best Social Documentary.'
After Doordarshan failed to respond, Mr Patwardhan filed a writ petition in 1998 asking the court to order its telecast on the grounds that Doordarshan was being arbitrary and had violated Patwardhan's right to freedom of expression and the public's right to information.
In February 2001, the Bombay High Court after viewing the film, and hearing arguments directed that Doordarshan telecast the film.
Doordarshan appealed to the Supreme Court, which in December 2001 directed it to reconstitute its screening committee. The reconstituted committee recommended that Doordarshan telecast the film.
Doordarshan, however, took the decision to the Prasar Bharti Board, which decided that the film was not fit to be screened. Mr. Patwardhan challenged this decision in the Bombay High Court in 2003.
The Court upheld the appeal, and said Doordarshan must telecast the film.

Tau Beta Pi, the engineering college's honor society, hosted its second annual Science and Engineering Fair Saturday to educate students and community members and display their work.
Several engineering student groups prepared exhibits to showcase at the event, with stations ranging from providing silly putty ingredients to featuring the work clubs have done to prepare for engineering competitions.
"I think it's important to expose middle school students to everything possible about science and math," Collins said.
Sam Odle '13, a member of the ChemE Car Team, showed participants the chemical science behind the cars that ChemE builds for its competitions. Odle said that it was "cool to see all the kids who hadn't really decided what they wanted to do in college" and show them different fields of engineering.
Additionally, Odle said, the fair allowed Cornell engineers to teach the students about important research that takes place at the University.
Students from the American Society of Environmental Engineers boasted compost bins and samples of hydrilla — an invasive plant species recently found in Cayuga Lake.
Tanapong Jiarathanakul '14, a member of the society, said that although people's initial reaction to the compost bins included asking, "Is this a bunch of dirt?", people were "much more understanding" after hearing about the environmental damage hydrilla can cause.
Jiarathanakul added that the fair was a good way for Cornell engineers to show prospective students a sample of its engineering program.
Students from Cornell's chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers also presented at the fair this year, sharing information on their concrete canoe team, which builds and races a 20-foot canoe made of concrete against other schools every year.
"We had a lot of pre-frosh look at things, which was really valuable to us, because they might end up joining our team next year," she said.
Kiem echoed the sentiments of other students who presented their work at the fair, saying the event was a chance to encourage young scientists to take an interest in engineering.
Michael Dezube '12, vice president of Tau Beta Pi, said that although organizing the fair required a lot of time, the success of the event made the work worthwhile. He added that the fair was a great way for Tau Beta Pi to help promote interest in the field of engineering.

Rivera Loup de Mer a la Plancha (Food of the Week)
By Joshua Lurie
In the new movie, "Chef," Jon Favreau plays Carl Casper, a Los Angeles chef who agrees with his restaurant's owner to "play the hits" for an influential critic, resulting in a horrible review, a very public shame spiral and (temporary) unemployment. For leading chefs like Carl Casper, it would be easy to play the hits, and customers would probably continue to fill seats, at least for awhile. However, truly innovative chefs continue to push, never satisfied with the hits. In L.A., one such chef is John Sedlar.
Chef Sedlar became synonymous with Modern Southwest Cuisine in the '80s and resurfaced in L.A. preaching "New Latin Cuisine," casting a far wider culinary net than his native New Mexico. Rivera became a hit when Sedlar opened an eponymous restaurant with restaurateur Bill Chait near Staples Center in 2009. Yes, Rivera became popular with businessmen, politicians, sports fans and critics thanks to dishes like tortillas florales, duck enfrijolada and Julian Cox's cocktails. However, Sedlar is a man who is always tinkering, so he changed the format and menu entirely this year. Yes, you can still find an abbreviated printed menu at Rivera, but much of the experience now revolves around Loncheras, "a procession of mobile service carts and hand-carried trays that deliver directly to guests an array of small plates infused with the pulsing spirit of New Latin Cuisine."
The restaurant's service format was indeed inspired by a visit to State Bird Provisions in San Francisco, though the food is quite different, and Rivera's carts are decidedly more modern, with screens that play video, and soon enough, will even speak. During my recent dinner at Rivera, carts delivered dishes like steamed artichoke "bowl" with shrimp and lobster salad, served with romesco; a purple-spined sea urchin serving as a pedestal, holding red cabbage slaw and plump mussels; and a roasted squash filled with goat cheese and ground pork.
I should probably single out a particular dish from the Loncheras carts, many of which I really enjoyed. However, the most praiseworthy dish to hit my table showcased Sedlar's whole Loup de Mer A La Plancha ($55), a crisp-skinned Mediterranean sea bass seasoned with rosemary, salt and olive oil, which was beautifully seared. A squeeze of lemon, a spoonful of red chimichurri, and I couldn't wait to lift my fork to the flaky white fish again, and again. Sedlar also served the fish with four other sauces, in case the red chimichurri wasn't enough: romesco, salsa verde, aji panca, and aji amarillo.
While it's exciting to see Chef Sedlar push his high-tech, New Latin vision forward (on wheels), I was still happy to see that he also still casts his fishing line in a classic sea.

December 6, 2011 November 26, 2012 Humor, Information 7 Comments ChimneyChris KringleChristmascoca colaHistoryKrampusOdinOriginsSaint NicholasSanta Claus
Speculation on the Origins of Santa Claus, Part One: Saint Nicholas and Krampus
First, let me say that I'm no expert on any of this. All I have going for me is an internet connection and a penchant for procrastination. I also have a tendency to obsess over things that don't really matter. Hence my seasonal interest in the origins of Santa Claus.
When I was a child, my grandfather used to tell me that Santa Claus was an Americanized version of Saint Nicholas. This made sense to a degree — at least linguistically — but it didn't explain everything. For example, what was a fourth-century Greek bishop doing with a team of flying reindeer? And why did he keep trying to slide down chimneys? Weren't there easier ways to give presents to good little girls and boys?
As it turns out, my grandfather was only telling a small part of the story. Yes, there was indeed a fourth-century bishop named Nicholas who was known for his generosity. And, yes, the Dutch corruption of his name into Sinterklaas evolved into today's Santa Claus. But there's also a lot more to the story.
Again, this is sheer speculation, but I'd describe Santa Claus as a cultural hybrid, a nexus of myths surrounding the winter season, a handful of characteristics that congealed over time into a single character.
One of the big mysteries that haunted me as a child wasn't so much the logistical nightmare that must have been involved in leaving presents under every Christmas tree in the world in the span of a single night or even how Santa Claus managed to squeezed down chimney after chimney, but why he'd ever bother doing such a thing. After all, if everyone was expecting him, and he was going to be leaving us presents, then why didn't we just leave our doors unlocked on Christmas Eve? It just didn't make sense.
Unless, of course, there was something they weren't telling us about Santa Claus. Like the fact that the business of sliding down chimneys is based on the Germanic myth of Krampus, the Grinch-like holdiay demon known for slithering down chimneys and stuffing children into burlap sacks.
Personally, I love this concept, because it says a lot about the culture that invented it. Instead of telling children to be good so that they'll get a lot of presents or, at worst, find fossil fuels in their stockings, the Krampus myth gave parents the power to tell their children to be good lest a demon creep down the chimney, stuff them in a sack, and take them to hell.
I'm a little hazy on the details, but I also think I read somewhere that one variation on the Krampus myth involved fairies or elves who captured Krampus and forced him to be good, which explains his eventual move to bringing gifts to children in the dead of winter, and also most likely explains where Santa's elves came from.
Today, there's a Krampus-like figure in many countries throughout Europe. He goes by several names, including Knecht Ruprecht, Certa, Perchten, Black Peter, Schmutzli, Pelznickel, and Klaubauf; and he's usual the counterpart to a Santa Claus figure.
But what about the fact that Santa Claus is always winking at people? And what about the reindeer? Okay, so the first of those two questions is just there to allow me to make my next point, and the answer to the second is a bit of a stretch. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow to read about them…

Monkeys vs. Humans
I've long believed that monkeys are smarter than humans, and now I can prove it. Over the weekend, I heard a report on Marketplace Money about Yale researchers who had trained a capuchin monkey named Nick Nack to use money in order to figure out how the world economy ended up in the toilet. Among other things, the report noted that the researchers had tried to teach the monkey about branding, with very limited success:
"They offered him two kinds of cereal, the same in every way except one came in a container with a picture of a clover on it and the other had a picture of a moon on it. The cereal was also the same price. And it turned out the branding didn't matter much to Nick Nack. He went for each about the same number of times." — Marketplace Money
In other words, Nick Nack, who is a monkey, didn't care what the package looked like. As long as the cereal was the same, he was happy to fork over his hard-earned cash.
Meanwhile, in the world of humans, Coca Cola is facing criticism for changing the design of its holiday cans. According to the Wall Street Journal, the American public is in such an uproar over Coca Cola's latest holiday can, which features silvery polar bears against a white backdrop, that the company is "switching back to its time-honored red" barely a month after making the change:
"While the company has frequently rung in the holiday with special can designs, this was the first time it put regular Coke in a white can. Some consumers complained that it looked confusingly similar to Diet Coke's silver cans. Others felt that regular Coke tasted different in the white cans. Still others argued that messing with red bordered on sacrilege." — Wall Street Journal
My main concern here is with the "others" who felt that regular Coke tasted different in the white cans. Needless to say, Nick Nack (who, again, is a monkey) would not have made the same mistake.
Of course, if Nick Nack had any taste whatsoever, he'd probably spit out the Coke after his first sip and save his money for a good Malbec, but given the details we have, two things are clear:
You can change the packaging of a product, and monkeys won't care.
You can do the same thing to humans, and we'll go apeshit.
Which makes me think I should probably hire a monkey to manage my money. But since I don't actually have any money, I'll just have to settle for waiting on the coming ape revolution* to end all of our financial woes…
*Side note: Some people believe in the coming zombie apocalypse. Personally, I'm more of an ape revolution kind of guy. I guess I'm just an old romantic at heart.

I was born in 1925, and although present, I do not retain any recollection of this rather important event, however, by the late twenties my powers of retention began to manifest themselves. So, this establishes parameters and, as a result, my memories of Mumbles life between the Wars, start rather hazily circa 1928 and end with a degree of clarity on 3 September 1939.
These were not the happiest of times and, even as a child, I was aware that I lived in a community over which there loured, constantly, the demoralising cloud of poverty.
The late 1920s saw a Britain, still reeling from the cataclysm of WW1, slide into the morass of the Great Depression with its resulting mass unemployment. Inevitably, the results of such a tragedy hurt those most, who were least able to handle it, and the degree of misery endured is something far beyond the comprehension of today's cosseted, hedonistic and dissolute society. It played havoc in communities everywhere, but nowhere worse than in South Wales, where Mumbles had its fair quota. This then was the background to all the Christmases of this period and was a situation, which eased but little, until the end of the 1930s. One can only marvel at the near miracles performed by parents in attempting to create a day worthy of this most wonderful of celebrations. Yet, succeed they did! In spite of everything, these Christmases were memorable, above all for the love, warmth and happiness generated in the family circle.
Every year, without fail, the earliest Christmas activity was seen in the schools, when in late November, auditions and rehearsals were held for the Concert. Simultaneously, teachers arrived at the school bearing brightly coloured crepe paper, glue and balls of string. Using simple techniques, these materials were transformed by enthusiastic, young hands into brightly coloured chains and ruffles and this, along with designing and painting Christmas cards, sparked off the first excitement in pupils of all ages. In Oystermouth Council School, the concerts of this era are remembered primarily for the talents of two stars – Frank Gold, with a voice like Ernest Lough and Cammie Rosser, with a piano touch like Mark Hambourg. These stars were wholeheartedly supported by a cast of players whose enthusiasm made up for any dearth of talent. Poems were rattled off in monotonal, machine gun bursts and violins were sawn vigorously by children, blind to the unbridgeable gap that existed between themselves and Fritz Kreisler. Between acts, the whole school would belt out, with tremendous relish, all those favourite carols of a long acquired familiarity, learned years ago in the Infants. It was a most joyous occasion, held in the spacious school hall under the canopy of our handmade, lovely decorations. Headmaster, Arthur Ivor Davies would gaze on benignly through his pince nez, obviously warmed by the happiness and excitement radiating from his young charges. This good man, ably assisted by his staff, went to great lengths to ensure that the true message of Christmas was fully understood and, if necessary, reinforced with the help of his cudgel.
And so, the younger element were lead into the Festive Season.
Immediately after the concert, and before breaking up for the Christmas holidays, there was a rewarding sequel when most of the children returned to the classrooms for the annual pay-out of the school bank. Every year, starting in January, weekly deposits were paid to the form teacher; these were entered into a book and on to the pupil's card. All interest went to school funds and at the end of the year, the capital saved was withdrawn and, even if it only amounted to a pound or two, made all the difference to a family's celebration budget.
"The Twelve Days of Christmas", accompanied by the thirty strong school orchestra (ably conducted by Gwilym Roberts Esq.). This was, without fail, a soul stirring rendering and was always sung twice, to please Headmaster, Llewellyn John, as well as his scholars!
Following the celebration, pupils would return to respective classrooms to collect report books from form masters, these gilt and blue hardcovers were then taken home for anxious parents to peruse, comment upon, and sign. A way of thanking our former teachers in Oystermouth School was to pay a visit and proudly show these report books and, not surprisingly, the welcome was always a very warm one. Staff positively glowed with vicarious pleasure at the success of old pupils. I treasure the memories of those visits because it was such a joy to walk into the old school again where I had been so well taught by people who really cared. I had been so very happy there. It was a wonderful school, superbly staffed and it is a delight to know that this fine old institution carries on to this very day (in 2010), maintaining those prestigious standards of eighty years ago. How blessed we are in Oystermouth!
With school over, the first Christmas task at home, was again, decoration making. In those days, manufactured decorations were rarely bought and then, only by the affluent few. On freezing winter evenings by the fire, armed with scissors, glue and crepe paper, the family went to work and transformed rooms beautifully for a few shillings. Holly was purloined from woods and gardens, but the rarer mistletoe was bought for a few pence, from Chambers the Fish in Newton Road who also supplied Christmas trees, at 3d for a small one and 1/- for a four footer. There were no artificial ones. As soon as father walked in to the house with the tree, it was grabbed and planted in a big pot and brought into the front room (the aspidistra was shifted from the window, to make room).
The tree was then festooned with carefully conserved tinsel, glass ornaments and a silver star, symbolically placed on the top. Electric fairy lights were a rarity until the late 30s, and usually real candles in little holders were clipped on to the branches and lit on Christmas Eve and the great Day – a practice fraught with considerable hazard and not encouraged by the Swansea Fire Brigade. External decorations did not exist, there were no holly wreaths on doors and the practice of bedecking the exterior of a house with lights (like a Blackpool Tram) was half a century away.
A fortnight, or so, before Christmas Day, small groups of children would venture forth to sing carols outside neighbours' houses, patiently they would work their way up and down the streets of the area. Following the warbling of a popular carol, a knock on the door would elicit one of two responses – the handing over of a copper with a 'Merry Christmas!" or, the door being yanked open by an irate, tousled, dangle-bracered man yelling " How many more times? I'm trying to catch up upon my sleep!" In fairness, Mumbles being a small place, it meant that this wretched fellow had probably been disturbed half a dozen times that evening whilst trying to rest after a ten-hour slog. Such reactions were stoically accepted by the waits as "going with the job" and the perpetrator was forgiven in the Spirit of Christmas. Sensibly, no carols were then sung outside the homes of such people for at least two nights. However, in spite of these trying little set backs, carol singing was very much a part of the Christmas scene and is remembered, surely, as one of the happiest and most Christmassy of activities. There was the message of the carol itself, the joy of singing it and the sound of those young, untrained voices rising, on a brittle-sharp clear, frosty night, as if to reach the stars themselves. Never forgotten!
From a rather surprising source, there was another lovely musical contribution, offered by revellers in the local pubs! During the Christmas week, spilling out into the freezing night, singing could be heard of delightful quality and harmony. Mumbles lads mellowed by a glass of ale (or two) could really turn it on! and how well I remember the clarity and purity of Emrys Owen's tenor voice as he soloed the first verse of "We Three Kings of Orient Are…" .
But! pride of place, musically, must go to the All Saints' Choir. Fully bedecked, forty strong, and carrying picturesque lanterns on poles, this great choir would sing at strategic points all over Mumbles, from Oystermouth Square via the Parade Gardens, Southend, Albert Place and up to Langland Corner. Wherever they sang, their beautifully blended voices carried afar on the sharp, clear night air, bringing the glorious message of Christmas. And, my goodness, they looked the part!
In a more robust manner, the Sally Ally Band (as we affectionately called it) toured the area several times during the preceding weeks, their mellow brass sending out the same timeless message in that honest, simple, Salvation Army way.
This stimulated a vociferous response from the rougher element in the 'thruppennies' who, in effect, reciprocated by sending their best wishes to Mr. Merrels and his family and his dog.
Shopping at any other time of the year was a greatly resented imposition upon a boy, but, at Christmas, it was embraced with enthusiasm. There were no really big stores in Mumbles and one of the annual treats was a trip to Swansea with ones Mum on the lovely Mumbles Train. Quality stores such as Ben Evans, David Evans, Sydney Heath, Edwards the Eagle, Dan Morgan etc., were visited. and in the latter store, one gawped at such treasures: as the Raleigh "Golden Arrow" Bike (£7..15s), Hornby Trains (£3 to £20) and Meccanos (5s to £10).
Every year, Dan Morgan (what a Mecca that was for kids!) had a massive Meccano working construction in one of its windows. One year it was the Eiffel Tower, with lights and moving elevators. In 1934, it was the Queen Mary! In 1935, we were privileged to view a small part of our mighty capital city, in the shape of the Tower Bridge, complete with lifting middle sections! Every year, we gazed in wonder with faces pressed up against the plate glass windows.
After the sumptuous tour, came reality with visits to both Woolworth's stores, Marks and Spencers and the Swansea Market! Presents were bought for Mums, Dads, Grandpas and Grandmas, best friends, and even the cat and dog. Threepence went a long way in those days! Every store had a Santa Claus Grotto and could be visited for 6d, which included a trashy present from Mr. Claus himself. Bringing the shopping adventure to a close, was the highlight of the day in the shape of tea at High Street Woolworth's in the luxurious upstairs cafeteria. –Pop, Shepherd's Pie, Chips, Roll and Butter for 10d! Then with the penetrating cold of darkness biting through overcoats, pinching knees and nipping at ears, the frost of the evening began to glisten and crackle on the pavements. Aching legs dragged their way to board the No. 4 Bus, from Dillwyn Street to Oystermouth and for this journey, the return half of the Train ticket was acceptable, how much simpler life was in those days! Tired but happy, children rested heads against Mums who were now beginning to worry, how they could explain to Dads where all the money had gone.
Back home in the village, preparations went on for The Day. The refrigerator, like the vacuum cleaner, was a rare animal, and its virtual non-existence dictated an age-old pattern of last-minute shopping for all perishable goods e.g. poultry which would be collected late afternoon or evening on Christmas Eve, from shops which had windows, skilfully festooned, outside and inside from floor to ceiling, with trussed birds. Who could ever forget, on Christmas Eve, the sight of Carpenter's the Fishmonger and Poulterer, opposite the old Swansea General Hospital in St. Helen's Road! Shops, like the Maypole, would be furiously selling dairy produce at 8 o'clock at night. To preserve the condition of these foods at home meant their storage on a stone slab or in a meat-safe in the back yard but at this time of the year, with ambient outside temperatures approaching zero, storage was no serious problem. .
At last, Christmas Eve bed-time would arrive and children would retire, having no idea what surprises were in store for them. No one ever expected too much and so no one was ever disappointed. What a job it was to get to sleep! The knowledge that Father Christmas would not call if one was awake, made it worse! And there was always the hopeful, last minute carol singer performing outside in the street, that did not help! Eventually, eyes closed and little souls surrendered to the arms of Morpheus.
At midnight, all roads led to the Church. Mumbles flocked to fill its Churches and Chapels to capacity, for the Midnight Mass. I was too young to attend but was given a graphic account by older friends and heard how full the streets were during the first hour of Christmas, as the worshippers made their ways home. Then bed. Then quiet.
Most homes came to life very early on Christmas Day, perhaps aroused by the Postman (Yes! there was a delivery on Christmas Day! Down in Gower, Master Ace, the post-boy, was delivering chickens at seven o'clock that morning for the Big Dinner and trying to cope with the offers of, "Have a little sip of sherry, son!", everywhere he called!). Mothers were soon fussing in the kitchens and then came the great awakening as children excitedly checked the traditional stocking hanging from the mantelpiece of the bedroom fireplace. Christmas greetings were exchanged with hugs all round and then, voices trilled as plasticine sets, water colours, annuals, wind-up cars and maybe even a Conway Stewart fountain pen (3/6), or a Marks and Spencer wrist watch (5s), were discovered. Mums, Dads and children anxiously inspected faces for the reaction to their presents – how badly one wanted the recipient to be pleased! But, no need to worry, always, always the reaction was one of delight!
Not every home could stretch the budget to a turkey and the substitute was, usually a goose, or a chicken, not that that mattered one iota. Whatever appeared on the table was accepted with joy. The family was together, it was Christmas and that's all that mattered!
In the average cottage home, cooking a large bird was impossible in the small oven at the side of the kitchen fire, this was designed for far smaller fare. It was the local Baker who solved this problem and came to the rescue by cooking the turkey in the bakery ovens, and Tom Davies of the Gloucester Place Bakery, never made any charge for this service. Out in the street, the early morning would see a procession of people carrying large platters, covered with white cloths, up to the bakery. Midday would see this procession in reverse, as the cooked birds were taken back to the homes and this time, as cooked bird followed cooked bird the most wonderful mouth watering aroma persisted behind them. Waiting in the house would be a cooked selection of vegetables, most probably from the allotment and fed on Swansea Bay seaweed. Perhaps memory is playing its devious tricks but I feel sure that it all tasted so much better then! What was on the table was plain, simple and seasonal. Table wines were unheard of, children drank Mr. Emmanuel Thomas' pop and Dads drank Hancock's Ale, brought from the pub that morning in a jug or a flagon. Fathers who had slipped out for a quick Christmas drink at the local, were paged and hastily made their way home. One minute late and the unequalled wrath of Mumbles housewives would be heaped upon their heads! Crackers were pulled, hats were donned, terrible riddles read out and novelties inspected. A gargantuan meal would be consumed and impossibly topped up with home-made Christmas pudding which had had threepenn'orth of brandy poured over it, and ignited. In the darkening room, 'Oohs! and Aahs!' would be gasped as the blue flames danced around and over the rich dish. Then, smothered with Mr. Bird's custard, the pudding would be ingested with an occasional click as teeth grated on a hidden silver thru'penny bit.
Gladys suddenly moaned and opened her eyes, "Where am I? Where am I? Quick I need something before I go off again!
Grandpa leaned over to help her sip. She needed no help and grabbed the glass with both hands. She made a complete recovery. Funny, but we never had indoor fireworks again, which annoyed Colin.
The end of the meal coincided with the King's Speech. Everyone sat and listened quietly to the weary, cultured voice of a much loved sovereign, King George V. There was great pride in the fact that this broadcast was going all over the world to fellow citizens of the Empire, ("that Empire upon which the Sun never sets"). With the playing of the National Anthem, we would all stand up to show loyalty and respect. Then, after the big clear up, the fire was banked up, curtains drawn to shut out the bitter cold of the darkening sky. Adults would sink into a narcoleptic state and children disappear to bedrooms and landings, to investigate their presents in depth. In the cramped living conditions, this did provide adults with a much-needed break and a chance to doze.
But Christmas was nowhere near finished! By late afternoon, signs of life would return to the living room and lights switched on. For the rest of the day, games would be played such as, Consequences, Town- Country-River-Fish, Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, and card games such as Happy Families, Snap, Old Maid etc. Then, incredibly, by early evening, we were hungry again and high tea would be served with ham, salad, tinned fruit and cream, mince pies and, of course, the centrepiece – the Christmas Cake! This had been baked in November and, the week before Christmas, marzipanned, iced and garnished with little robins, reindeer and pretend holly (and lots of little silver balls, the edibility of which I feared to test).
At this stage of the evening, it was customary for the men to slip out for an hour to the Local for a glass of ale and a Woodbine. The pubs were never packed on Christmas night and, as with the rest of the holiday, there was rarely drunkenness and never, unruly behaviour. The men would soon return to join the family fun, which continued as before. At the end of the 30s, a new game took the world by storm – "Monopoly". This would eventually take up many a happy hour in the family home and was the fore-runner to many other board games although few would ever rival its success.
It was many years on before I realised what a privileged childhood many of us (alas! not all) had enjoyed. There was the secure warmth of the family circle, a discerning love and a guidance into a way of life which was based simply upon our Faith. Christmas Day was but a part of it. Parents had indeed given us their all and what a foundation this was, upon which we could build our lives!
In a material sense today's Christmas, in competition with one in the 30s, can only be described as a one-horse race.

The ideological role of selective translation in reconfiguration of news frames

Version of Record published : 19 Aug 2017
Drawing on social and cognitive models of news frame theory and argumentative approach to political discourse analysis, we studied how a declaration made by an Iranian general about revoking the citizenship of Bahrain uprising movement's leader was selectively translated and reframed in 7 English news websites. The findings revealed that the reframed texts, on the one hand, suppressed the values and circumstantial premises of the declaration, and on the other hand, reframed the text in such a way that portrayed Iran as an interventionist seeking sectarianism in Bahrain. This study indicated that what underwent shift were not just arbitrary words and phrases; rather, the whole frame was reconfigured according to the interests of the news websites. In this process, selective translations were merely used as incontrovertible proof to support the frame buttressed by the target news websites.

One of the features that most interested me when I was investigating Configuration Manager where these magical things called Automatic Deployment Rules (ADRs). Our existing patch process was very manual: multiple people going into separate environments and deploying individual bulletins (I know, bulletins are not updates but that's how that vendor delivered them) to collections of devices. It was tedious and error prone leading to inconsistency between lab and production. Just the word automatic being talked about in the same sentence as patch deployment was exciting.
It took me quite a while to get my head fully around ADRs, their quirks, and what they mean for my patching strategy. As always I'm hoping that by writing this I might save someone else a chunk of time. I don't think any of this is ground breaking; but it's what I wish I had neatly summarized when I started out. There's plenty of existing guides out there telling you what to do step-by-step so there's no sense doing that here. Instead, I want you to better understand the choices you have and how to make them.
One of the first things you need to decide when creating an ADR is whether you are going to have them create a new Software Update Group (SUG) every time it runs or whether it will reuse the same SUG. Microsoft's own best practices say to create a new SUG every month. The main reasons for this is that a lot of the built-in reporting is based on SUGs. Also, you can't deploy SUGs that have more than a thousand updates in them so you need to split them in some manner. Creating a SUG each month is a straightforward solution to that problem. The downside to this approach however is that you end up with SUG sprawl with each new SUG needing to be maintained. Configuration Manager will never modify an existing deployment of its own accord so it's up to the administrator to remove updates that are no longer needed because they are superseded or expired. You'll also want to combine SUGs at some point to clean up the console and minimize the back-end summations. Be smart and automate those tasks using the script I released: Fully Automate Software Update Maintenance in Configuration Manage.
There is another option though: reusing the same SUG. When you select this option the ADR will compare the filtered list of updates to the existing SUG. If, and only if, the two differ it will completely remove all updates from the SUG and add the updates returned by the ADR filter. This method eliminates SUG sprawl and automatically maintains the SUGs by removing expired and superseded updates providing you exclude them in your filter. One possible downside to this is if you have patch cycles that are longer than your ADR frequency. For example: you release patches monthly but you have some servers that take six weeks to patch because 'reasons'. You need to make sure that the deployment deadlines occur far enough ahead of the next ADR run for clients to install them. If that's not possible then you might need to create multiple ADRs and schedule them to run on alternating months. Further, if you reuse SUGs do not filter based on date otherwise you risk missing patches. Without filtering on date you are going to need to find some way of splitting up your ADRs so that they don't create SUGs with more than a thousand updates. A simple workstations vs server split might not be enough so OS is a logical choice here.
The next thing the ADR wizard will walk you though is setting up the deployments. While this is pretty straight forward stuff there are two things worth mentioning.
First, you can configure the ADR to create disabled deployments. If you are too afraid of automation to let it fully control your patching then this is the option for you. The ADR will create everything for you but will not impact the client in any way. I much prefer full automation that requires intervention to stop but I realize every environment has its own challenges. If you still want human intervention to be required then use this option and manually verify what the ADRs did before enabling the deployments.
Second, although the wizard only creates a single deployment you can add additional deployments afterwards as of Current Branch 1511. This allows you to easily create all of your staggered roll-outs for pilot, test, validation, or whatever with a single ADR. If you upgraded from previous versions of Configuration Manager do not miss out on this opportunity to possibly reduce the number of ADRs.
Scheduling: When and How Often?
Regarding scheduling, I already wrote about this at length so I won't repeat myself here: Patch Tuesday Is A Lie. The latest Technical Preview as of this post has scheduling offsets built in which is just fantastic. Something also worth considering is the frequency of your patch cycle. The historic norm is to run monthly cycles but before jumping to that conclusion see if a weekly cycle might work for some or all of your patching. If your organization doesn't have a mature patch testing regimen anyways then not testing weekly is the same as not testing monthly. Patching more regularly eliminates certain procedural issues that will make your life easier. One I'll talk about below is how to select just the updates since you last ran your ADR. Another is out of band patches. Imagine if the recent Meltdown/Spectre out of band patches were simply wrapped up in your weekly cycle and were no big deal. Lastly, as I described in the post I linked above, Microsoft is releasing some patches totally outside of the normal Patch Tuesday time frame. Keep in mind that it's not all-or-nothing. Maybe only your workstation or Office patches are weekly and your server patches remain on a slower schedule.
ADR Filters: How do I Choose?!
Now, we get to the really fun stuff. When I started out, selecting updates felt like a dark abyss I had to jump into and find my way out of. I was never the same afterwards. Here's a few tips and things to watch out for.
Date Released or Revised: What Does One Month Really Mean?
What you do with this filter depends entirely on your patching strategy. If you're reusing SUGs then the whole point is to automatically maintain them each time you run your ADRs. Therefore that's the one strategy where you don't use this filter type at all. When creating new SUGs the goal is to generally select all the updates released since the last time you ran the ADR. This is where a weekly patch cycle is a huge benefit: setting this filter to one week is all you need. If you are using the more standard monthly cycle then be aware of what selecting one month actually does. It means subtracting one from the numerical value of the month. Since the second Tuesday (or whatever day you pick) of the the current month will not be the same as the previous month this is going to cause gaps. Historically you wouldn't worry about that because MS had a nice reliable release schedule of the second Tuesday at 10 AM Pacific Standard Time. That's no longer the case and patches for things like Office 365 are being released later that evening or even a day or two after Patch Tuesday. That means you can no longer afford a time gap in patch selection. The real solution for this is for the product team to allow us to select only updates that have not yet been deployed. Go vote on UserVoice right now: ADR New Search Criteria, Deployed = yes/no. In the meantime however I recommend selecting two months of patches for ADRs ran monthly. I would much rather redeploy updates a second time than not deploy them at all.
There is something really alluring about this filter. The idea of only deploying patches that your clients actually need sounds too good to pass up. However, this is one that you need to fully understand before you use it. So let's walk through it a bit. Configuration Manager can't know how many clients require an update until scan result have been summarized which by default is every hour. Scan results can't be summarized until the results are received. Clients aren't going to send results until they've successfully scanned. Clients are only going to scan semi-randomly based on the scan and evaluation frequencies selected in client settings. Clients can only scan for new updates once the SUPs have completed syncing updates from MS. That's a long way of saying that there needs to be enough time between when you sync updates and when your ADRs run for all of that to happen on a representative sample of your clients. If you're running ADRs an hour after your sync … you are going to miss updates until the next ADR run. For this reason I highly recommend not combining this filter with the Date Released or Revised filter. If you combine them you run the very real risk of having clients that need an older update that will never be deployed because it's older than your date filter allows. To be honest, I don't recommend using this filter at all.
There's not much to say here apart from the fact that you should be using these filters. In the case of the latter be sure to only select updates that are not superseded.
Title: Who Knew They Could Be This Useful?
Beyond filtering out Itanium updates the above filters allow you to deploy only the cumulative updates and only the Semi-annual Channel for Office 365. However, I will warn you that the product teams like to go on drinking binges and wake up with the new 'final solution' for their naming scheme. So you need to keep an eye out for such changes which would require changes to your title filters.
To be clear, I'm not telling you that you should be excluding certain updates but simply how you can do so with this technique and demonstrating with examples. It's been pointed out to me that rouge IT might be installing or manually configuring Office 365 channels you don't intend to support. If you chose to filter out certain channels be certain to check the Office 365 Client Management dashboard to verify the channels in your environment.
So what you do here really depends on what you or your organization's philosophy is on patching. At the bare minimum you should select the Critical and Security update classifications. There have been many a word spent arguing about how terrible MS's quality control is and how less patching is universally better than more patching. Everyone has that one story where they got burned and they vowed to themselves 'never again'. At this point however you are going to be forced into cumulative patching with Windows 10 and Server 2016 so it's probably time to get over it. If you do then you'll want to select at least the Update Rollups and Updates categories. You can do a coin flip and decide whether to include the Tools classification. I've never understood what actually goes in there and currently I see no active updates at all with that classification in my environments. The Upgrades classification is for Windows 10 Feature Updates which are better used by a servicing plan rather than an ADR (servicing plans are really just special ADRs). That leaves two more classifications: Feature and Service Packs. Feature packs are primarily major-version upgrades to MS products; .NET in particular. For this reason I don't include either of these in my ADRs. Service Packs and new versions of .NET are major changes that need to be treated more carefully than our automated monthly process allows. Specifically on the server side where a new .NET version is likely to break web apps. For that matter, Exchange has been known to be break with newer versions of .NET and as of this posting the latest version released over 9 months ago is still not validated.
When creating your update filters do not miss the Preview button in the lower right of the window. Anytime you make a change to the ADR use this to run the query and show the list of updates that would be returned. Before hitting OK and saving your changes take the time to really scrutinize what's in there.
Is There Anything ADRs Can't Do?
So despite their swiss-army knife appearance there are a few things that ADRs can't do. In particular, the existing ADR filters do not allow you to select updates for the particular version of Office 365 or Windows 10. The problem with Office 365 is specific to the Semi-Annual Channel previously known as the Deferred Channel. This channel has multiple supported versions, currently 1705 and 1708, and there's no way to automatically select the one you want. Similarly, you probably aren't actively deploying every supported version of Windows 10. You most likely skipped one, haven't deployed another, or have fully retired the oldest. With some cumulative updates topping 1 Gb each month it's not ideal to deploy and distribute versions you don't need.
One solution to this problem is to simply deploy these types of updates manually. Only slightly less distasteful is to use very specific title filters to exclude all but the versions you want. That too though is a never ending process of determining if a new version has been released and then updating your ADRs accordingly. I hate doing anything related to patching manually. For that very reason I created a plugin system to my maintenance script which can be used to decline updates in a granular way that ADRs are unlikely to ever match. In this manner I can decline all but the latest Office 365 Semi-Annual Channel update before my ADR even has a chance to run and select multiple versions. Similarly, you can filter out updates for Windows 10 versions, languages, or editions you currently don't support. For full information on this refer to this post: Fully Automate Software Update Maintenance in Configuration Manage.
How Many ADRs Should I Have?
This is a question I've seen asked a few times on Reddit. The number of ADRs you have is going to be a direct function of your patching strategy. The main constraint you have is that you cannot deploy a SUG with more than a thousand updates in it. So however you decide to do things you have to make sure your ADRs will never select more than that. If you're creating new SUGs each time the ADR runs then you should be able to get away with just a workstation and server ADRs. If you're reusing the SUGs then you will likely have to split them up by operating systems because the number of updates for legacy OSs is astronomical. That being said, Microsoft has slowly been adding in previous patches to the cumulative updates for the legacy OSs. So going forward there should be fewer update backlogs meaning we can combine them into fewer ADRs. One last thing to consider here is if you run Office on any of your servers, terminal servers for example. If so you might consider a separate ADR for Office products.
Before I end this ridiculously long post that no one in their right mind is going to read every word of let me briefly mention Windows Defender updates. If you are using Defender and would like to centralize the distribution of definition updates you will want to do so with Configuration Manager ADRs. Such an ADR will likely look drastically different than your patching ADRs. First of all you should schedule them to run at least daily if not multiple times a day. When doing so don't forget to also sync updates at the same frequency a half hour or so ahead of the ADR. Because of this frequency and the fact that every update essentially supersedes the previous one you will want to reuse the same SUG. Filtering is dead simple: exclude superseded updates and select the Definition Updates category.
If you want to use Required, that's fine, you just need to know what it all entails. You need to make sure that a fully representative sample of devices have checked in. At large scales that simply might not happen in the timeframe you describe.
Likewise, you have to accept releasing patches a cycle behind (usually a month). In many orgs that just doesn't fly. If you have any kind of PCI/HIPPA requirements that's straight up not an option.
Using both required and a released/revised is pretty much indefensible in my eyes. It's one thing to risk deploying a patch a month late. The risk of not deploying a needed patch at all … that really should be unacceptable. To be fair, this is less of an issue with OS updates but if you have other updates, especially some 3rd party stuff it's very likely to happen and you have no way of knowing.
i agree that it could cause an issue for 3rd party updates, for OS/Office updates i've been using that particular config for years with multiple clients without issue. Some businesses even run a script to force the software update scan every hour on a subset of machines to make sure that when the ADR runs the number of patches downloaded reflect what is really required.
Recently went from a 100+GB deployment package at one client to 15GB.
Really interesting piece of reading that confort me in the way I manage ADR.
I ended up reading every word and found this information very useful. I appreciate you clearing up some of my questions. Cheers!
This is just a perfect description of my ADR configuration! I feel so validated!
It doesn't seem to matter, though, what I type into the filter – I either get everything excluded, or everything included.
Any gotchas about the description filter, or references about it? I'm pretty aggressive about reading the documentation and it doesn't say a lot more than the context description on the Description Filter dialogue box.
Actually – I should clarify. It doesn't matter what I type into a description filter, _as measured by clicking on the "Preview" button_….I get all or nothing. I haven't actually tried letting an ADR rule run with a description filter.
Hmm, I've never used that field before but from the looks of it it should work similar to the title. As I understand it, if you use quotation marks that means the entire description field must match that exactly.
To be honest though, if you want to exclude certain builds … why use description over the title field?
Dumb carelessness. I don't have "Title" as a filter option on the "Software Updates" tab of ADR properties, so I was substituting "Description" as if it were the same thing….which of course it isn't.
So that solves that mystery….Do you have Title as a filter option? I'm on 1806 and do not.
Are you per-chance using the Architecture filters? There's a known issue of sorts where you can't use both. More specifically, the Architecture filters really is a Title filter and there's some kind of problem right now.
Bullseye….well done and much appreciated!
Bryan, Thanks for this post, it's good to see how ADRs can apply to reduce the manual work of patching.
I agree that we should select Security and Critical Updates that have not been superseded, but Microsoft sometimes supersede Critical patches that cause functional issues, replaces them by new patches, and labels the new patches with severity "None", and marks the bad patch it replaces as "superseded". You run the risk of either skipping a month, or deploying a patch that could cause functional issues on the clients. This situation happened in July and in Oct 2018. The only solution I have identified to get around this is to have a separate "Ad-Hoc" ADR, where you specify a small number of individual patches by name. Then you have to have additional deployments to manage this extra ADR.
I'm a bit confused by the scenario you lay out and your solution to it. Absolutely, it's safe to say that MS is going to screw us over with poorly tested patches from time to time. The solution there is to test the patches extensively. Further, I recommend making use of the new patch offset feature to release your patches a two or more days after Patch Tuesday. Lastly, follow some people on Twitter and monitor the Sysadmin subreddit's Patch Tuesday mega-thread. Put that all together and with any luck you will have time to hear of any bad patches, carefully scrutinize your test results, and then act accordingly. If that means waiting a month then so be it. If that means manually pushing out (instead of an ADR) something that MS re-released then that's fine too. It's just a matter of evaluating the security vs operational risks.
I'm working in an environment where we use ADRs and SUGs. This article is super helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks Bryan, this was very helpful.
Thank you very much for this post. I find patching extremely tedious, and I'm looking for any help I can get streamlining it.
Thanks for all the hard work and the scripts!

Victoria Season 4 Release: Jenna Coleman Will Play Queen Or Not?
June 10, 2020 March 4, 2019 by Jay Patel
In this post, we are going to talk about British TV show Victoria season 4 update, cast, and details. As we know, the show is based on Queen Victoria, and it is played by Jenna Coleman as of now. The show has received immense amount of love from both the UK and the US. The show was created for ITV and PBS supported its production and took American broadcasting rights.
The show has completed two seasons, and the third season is being broadcasted in the US, although only finale episode is left. The UK release is still not confirmed but it was announced that it could release in early to mid 2019. However, fans were more enthusiastic to know what will happen to the show in forthcoming future, and we are here to discuss the same.
So, is the show renewed for a fourth season? Unfortunately, there is no renewal news so far, but we have to wait for ITV to analyze the viewership data and then they will decide whether they will continue with the show or not. We have seen that the first season had an average of more than 7 million viewers, and none of the episodes had viewers less than 7 million. The second season got a bit poor response and the finale episode even got less than 6 million viewers. Thus, it would be crucial to check the third season's views to decide how it performed.
If the show gets renewal, it looks like we could be directly seeing the queen in 2020, as it would take a year to produce the season. The UK release would be in the mid 2020, as per my prediction. Moreover, the next season could also have eight episodes as the previous seasons. Another thing which I would like to remind you that we were informed that Jenna Coleman will not continue to play Queen's role, as her age will restrain her at some point. So, we might see a new face for Queen in the next season, although it is not confirmed! All the other cast members might change or will have to age if a time jump happens!
