Chad Wys And The Altar Collection.
I've loved the "On To The Next One" video from Jay-Z since the day it came out, but the video being in black and white left a little bit lacking. For some reason the work of Chad Wys encompasses the regal elegance of that video with color, and so much more. The visual creator Chad Wys out of Peoria, IL, is one of the most ocularly stunning creators of our time. Collection after collection he continues to prove his prowess, and his ability for taking classic painting and adding incredible tweaks that make those works his own. Check the method.

Kim Byungkwan's Memories.
Seoul, Korea is the home to many a talented artist, but Kim Byungkwan rolls in a lane of his own. His collection of black and white, stylized, and almost eerie works are titled "Memories 1940's". The faceless, fluid, and frightening acrylic paintings are all reminiscent of the time period, and are just a small portion of Byungkwan's full collection of works. To see more of Kim's work, just click here.

Keng Lye's Real Life Fakes.
The amount of talent one can come across these days is endless. Especially in the case of artist Keng Lye, whose main painting medium is…resin & acrylic. As a result, the paintings look stunningly realistic, you'd have to blink twice to make sure.

The Eye-catching Artworks Of Rory Kurtz.
Rory Kurtz has been illustrating since he was old enough to hold a crayon. Self-taught and focusing in pencil, ink, and digital paint, Rory has carved out his niche as a unique voice in the illustration community. Working with digital media allows his paintings a greater amount of versatility, and faster production time, which makes all the difference when meeting deadlines. His influences are spread out across the respective wolds of literature, fashion, art, film, & music. His work isn't necessarily easy to define, as he tends to shift from one style to the next and back again as fits the assignment, but the individual pieces seem unified by a shared sense of fantasy in a modern reality.
All That Is Not Itself
Paintings, sculptures, readymades, works on paper, and digital works by Chad Wys.
The Fondation Cartier Pour L'Art Contemporain in Paris is currently showing an exhibition devoted to the work of Moebius, as well as his other pseudonym Gir and real identity Jean Giraud. Devoted to his comics work, the display is… well. Rather impressive. It includes his notepads, paintings, unpublished pieces and an animated film. The theme of the exhibition is metamorphosis.

Digital Artworks Painted By Lonlieness.
Variations of glittered deformations form the basis for a grotesquely beautiful motif in the works of Japanese artist 非(xhxix). Digitally sketching, drawing, and painting everything using Photoshop alone, 非 visualizes loneliness in his subjects and decorates them with scars, layers of geometric abstractions and floral imagery. As most of his subjects are young men, the artist explains that "boys are more suitable to express loneliness as women are emotional and powerful." Concocting images of isolated pain and an ethereal sadness into haunting depictions of young western men, 非 reveals a mystified insight into the depths of the Japanese psyche.

Ollie Lucas Art.
Originally hailing from Perth, Ollie Lucas is a visual artist now residing in Melbourne, Australia. Previously his work revolved around the cerebral phenomenon 'pareidolia'. Pareidolia put simply is seeing objects in clouds or recognisable objects in patterns or surfaces. His surfaces are created through swirling colours blended together to create a dynamic moving base. It's upon this base that the intricate pattern work is applied through drawing. Using an almost meditational concentration the drawn pattern work combines with the colour to create a complex and detailed abstract surface for the eye to explore. However since moving to Melbourne Ollie has been bombarded with streets filled with a combination of graffiti, street art and urban decay.
My work has always had graphical and clean elements to it. A past life as a graphic designer is to blame there. Exposure to the graffiti scene in Melbourne has made me question harmony in my work, I have a love for filthy, dirty and weathered paint splattered surfaces, but at the same time I crave clean, modern, hardline geometrics. This is what drives my practice, combining two visual elements that are polar opposites in search for a harmony that i may never obtain.

Hyper Realistic Painting.
Taking a photo this clear would be a feat for many – but these stunning images are actually hand-painted or drawn. Last week the detailed pencil drawings by Scottish artist Paul Cadden caught the eye, but the exhibition at the Plus One gallery also showcases other artists creating hyper-real pictures. Explaining the aim of one of his pieces, artist Tom Martin says: "Essentially I'm trying to look for ways to create a situation whereby things are believably real, yet impossible. "The scenario here is impossible and cannot ever exist in this world at least, but we are forced to accept it." Including three BP Portrait Award winners, the display features both portraits and still life works – though chocolate lovers may be disappointed by Cynthia Poole's confectionery as those grabbable-looking bars are sadly unreal…

A Hotel Where You Can Steal The Art?
As research has proved, guests will steal plenty of things from hotels given the chance — but most would draw the line at a piece of art valued in the thousands. One hotel, however, is inviting guests to steal art, in a clever promotion drawn up by Art Series Hotels, an Australian chain, for the summer. Guests who book a room at the chain's properties between December 15 and January 15 are being challenged to 'steal' a Banksy print worth AU$15,000, with the promise that they can keep it if they successfully pull off the heist.
The print, "No Ball Games," has been authenticated and signed by Banksy and will be circulating through Art Series' three Melbourne hotels — The Olsen, The Cullen and The Blackman — during the month. Any guest that manages to make off with the piece will be allowed to keep it, the hotel says, but those caught in the act will have to return it to be hung on the wall. The promotion is a clever twist on Banksy's own statements on art — the Britain-based artist has been known to sneak into galleries and hang his work alongside the curated works — and also pokes fun at several thieves who have attempted to remove the graffitied art from streets to sell.

Nick Gentry's Use Of The Useless.
Nick Gentry is a British graduate of Central St Martins and has exhibited in the UK, USA and Europe. As part of a generation that grew up surrounded by floppy disks, VHS tapes, polaroids and cassettes, he is inspired by the sociological impact of a new internet culture. His portraits use a combination of obsolete media formats, making a comment on waste culture, life cycles and identity. Using old disks as a canvas, these artefacts are combined to create photo-fits and identities that may draw connections to the personal information that is then forever locked down underneath the paint.

What Would You Do If You Saw This?
Alexa Meade thinks completely backwards. Most artists use acrylic paints to create portraits of people on canvas. But not Meade – she applies acrylic paints on her subjects and makes them appear to be a part of the painting. Meade is an installation artist based in the Washington, DC area. Her innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships. "I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. The models are transformed into embodiments of the artist's interpretation of their essence. When captured on film, the living, breathing people underneath the paint disappear, overshadowed by the masks of themselves." – Alexa Meade

At the public meeting in Tomerong in August we presented a comprehensive & damning case against this tip but due to time constraints it was only about half of what we had.
Since then we have found out so much more but once again we can only present about half of the new information we have and that in a concise form.
We have tried to triage that information into what we believe are fatal points against the proposal rather than just adverse.
A new development proposal cannot benefit from past illegal activity.
As we have stated previously we believe that the second dam on the quarry site - which is to hold the leachate pond - was built illegally and the endangered species melaleuca biconvexa illegally cleared to build it.
We believe we have the photographic evidence to prove this.
And yet DECCW shows no interest in this.
Nor do they show any interest in the complete lack of current mapping for biconvexa below the dam in the catchment of Duck Creek , prime biconvexa habitat, yet no studies have been conducted to show that the proposal will protect this threatened species or any other below the leaking dam.
The Federal Dept of Environment has asked for more information from the applicants so that they can properly assess the risk to biconvexa but this has not been forthcoming.
Not only that but the quarry owners hold no water license for this dam - something that the NSW Office of Water is investigating - nor is there any mention of the required license in this application.
DECCW's incompetence was demonstrated when they told us they knew nothing about such things.
The Office of Water is also investigating the alleged illegality of the second dam and apparent illegal clearing as is Shoalhaven City Council who have struggled to bring the quarry operators into line for many years.
The quarry operation on which this proposal relies, and which will continue in tandem with the tip by the same operators - yes blasting right next to the fragile leachate pond -, has been beset with breaches of the law, breaches of compliance and unauthorised activity for years.
This is aboriginal land and the land grant was based on its cultural & heritage values yet in this application we see the land owner stating that there are no aboriginal cultural or heritage values on site.
A waste facility on site is inconsistent with the requirements of the land grant - it is just not allowed and there is a caveat on the land grant that would see ownership being relinquished if such a facility was built.
Future generations of indigenous people will not be able to use the land and the traditional ownership of the land is also in dispute.
The lease ownership is stated as the wrong entity at the beginning of the EIS.
The lease is invalid as the transfer is not signed by the lessor representative.
The EIS describes the wrong area of the lease and the wrong area of the land to be affected by the development - it is 296 ha not 32.
At every turn the applicants have tried to belittle the impact of this proposal.
The quarry operators are incorrectly named in the EIS and all this gives no confidence that any entity would take responsibility for compliance or when something goes wrong.
We have no confidence in the applicant's intent to comply with operating & consent conditions.
For example the operational conditions of the quarry required a bridge to be built in 2002 and despite two license renewals repeating that requirement it is still not built.
There have been ongoing compliance issues and investigations of illegal activity on this site for years.
History gives us no reason to think that will change.
We also have no idea what will be dumped on this site and we have grave concerns over the operators' self-monitoring and DECCW's ability to enforce conditions of consent.
In trying to justify this proposal much has been made about the claim that it is demand driven and there have been several incorrect statements made by both the applicant and the Federal Member for Gilmore, both of whom knew better, trying to influence government ministers and attempting to justify it to the community by claiming that this proposal has been driven by the Southern Group of Councils looking for new landfill sites.
This is untrue and we have written evidence to prove it.
It has been claimed that first it was an initiative of the Southern Councils Group (SCG), then that it was in response to a request from them, then that it had the support of these councils but none of this is true.
The SCG has never initiated, discussed or supported this proposal nor are they looking for new landfill sites.
This is all about an opportunistic attempt by a private operator to make big bucks at the expense of the well-being of this community and the environment in which it lives.
There is no justification for it nor have the proponents attempted to justify it.
We don't even know where the waste is coming from or what it will be.
One of the applicants makes his living from dealing with slag at Port Kembla.
There is a very real possibility that this is all about a dump site for slag removal from Port Kembla for the new port facility there.
What toxic materials are in that slag?
There has been no social impact study, no accurate mapping of melaleuca biconvexa, no gatecheck risk screening assessment, no formal study to assess aboriginal significance, no justification, inadequate blasting and groundwater studies, inadequate environmental studies, inadequate noise, odour & dust studies, no EIS or flood study for the noise attenuation barrier, no EIS addressing the risk to threatened species below the dam in Duck Creek and is inconsistent with just about every act, policy & planning law applying to it.
There has been no review of the application under the new Landfill SEPP amendment and if a fire occurs in the landfill it would require a Hazmat brigade to attend - our nearest Hazmat brigades are at Shellharbour and Batemans Bay - one & a half hours away.
and finally DECCW has been thrown into even more disrepute by their refusal to hand over their documents justifying their initial refusal.
First they told us there weren't any, then that they couldn't find them, then that we couldn't have them, and now - because we refused to let them off the hook - they have finally agreed to let us have them but not until after this hearing.
They have obstructed our right to this information at every turn and I call for an inquiry into DECCW's handling of this case.
thank you - we know that despite this overwhelming mountain of evidence against this proposal you still have the ability to approve this application with conditions. We will never give up the fight against this as we know it to be entirely wrong.
We ask you to exercise your planning powers in the best interests of the community - support us, Council staff & the elected Council who are all united in their opposition.
In the interest of the community, the environment, sound planning and responsible government we urge you to let us all get on with our lives and refuse it outright.


You're in each measure of that song.
This piece of Butchubbles fan art, which is my final submission for BrickercupMasterX3's Butchubbles Month last January, is dedicated to Maggie Mason aka mason382, Emma aka KokoroWorlds, Martina Koljensic aka MartinaHermioneGrang, JordanDatTurtle13, Eva aka AmazonPrincess5000, Pinkycandypie, Danni Lynn McDonald aka evangeline40003, Starry aka Pastel—Star, and Victoria aka ViciViv who celebrated their birthdays a couple of days ago. So, I hope you all had such magnificent, grand, fabulous and phenomenal birthdays. I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, beauty, prosperity, strength, perseverance, and abundance in your lives as artists and as people. This is also dedicated to all of the wonderful Butchubbles shippers out there. So, sit back, relax, and soak in that Butchubbles goodness.
Well, this was inevitable. This is the final time we get to see Butch as our beloved Phantom aka Erik and Bubbles as the lovely Countess Christine Daaé de Chagny and this is the song and scene that we are going out on. I know some people find the duet between The Phantom and Christine, "Beneath a Moonless Sky", unintentionally hilarious because of the lyrics unsubtly alluding to the Phantom and Christine making love to each other, but if one puts this duet in the right hands of the singers, this can actually be quite an emotional thrill ride. Yes, it is melodramatic. Yes, it does skewer with the canon. However, the melody is still haunting and quite palpable to be reckoned with. For your listening enjoyment, I present to you three interpretations of this duet from three of my favorite Phantoms, Ben Lewis, Ramin Karimloo, and Drew Sarich, and three of my favorite Christines, Anna O'Byrne, Sierra Boggess, and Milica Jovanovic. I hope you enjoy listening to these selections, as you gaze upon this piece of Butchubbles fan art.
I hope you all managed to enjoy this final submission for Butchubbles month 2019 and I will see you all on the flip side. Take care.

Bill C-208: The saga continues...
TAX ALERT | July 21, 2021
Authored by RSM Canada
On June 29, 2021, the Private Member's Bill C-208, regarding the transfer of small businesses and family farm or fishing corporations (the Bill), received Royal Assent. The Bill limits the application of section 84.1 on inter-generational business sales. Avoiding section 84.1 allows the vendor to receive capital gains treatment on a non-arm's length disposition of shares and potentially use the lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE) to shelter any gain from tax.
On June 30, 2021, the Department of Finance issued a statement that it intended to make amendments to clarify the current legislation and to amend the effective date to Jan. 1, 2022 rather than the date of Royal Assent.
The June 30 announcement caused much confusion due to concerns that the amendments would retroactively change the legislation, leaving taxpayers in a state of uncertainty until any changes become effective. In response to this stakeholder feedback, on July 19, 2021, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a news release confirming that the Bill was in fact law as of the date of Royal Assent.
The release also addresses what Finance believes to be drafting deficiencies in the legislation that may provide opportunities for 'surplus stripping' – tax planning to remove funds from a corporation as a capital gain rather than as a dividend because the latter is subject to higher tax rates and not eligible for LCGE in the hands of an individual.
The Department of Finance specified that it will introduce prospective legislative amendments by way of a new bill. The amendments are intended to support genuine business transitions but include limitations and parameters to address the following:
The requirement to transfer legal and factual control of the corporation carrying on the business from the parent to their child or grandchild;
Setting out the level of ownership that the parent can maintain in the corporation for a reasonable time after the transfer;
The requirements and timelines for the parent to transition their involvement in the business to the next generation; and
Determining the appropriate level of involvement of the child or grandchild in the business after the transfer.
The Department of Finance plans to publish final legislative proposals once feedback has been gathered and considered. The government has advised that the amendments would be effective the later of Nov. 1, 2021, and the date of publication of the final draft legislation.
The July 19 clarification provides comfort to taxpayers considering legitimate family business transitions to adult children or grandchildren. The Department of Finance has stated its intention to preserve the spirit of current legislation and support bona fide intergenerational transfers. Therefore, taxpayers should be cautious of transactions undertaken solely to avoid tax, which could be subject to Canada Revenue Agency audits in the future.

As always, thanks to the trio of presenters and Michael Horton for hosting the event and publishing the video.


Life with a toddler is fun. Their sense of wonderment at the smallest things is contagious. We brought the kids apple picking during our fall Michigan weekend and he had the best time. When we arrived at Crane's Orchard, the first thing Will discovered was the pumpkin barn. He loved running in and out and poking his head through the windows. When it was time to leave, he wasn't thrilled. For our day outdoors, we dressed Will in layers from Gymboree. His plaid button down shirt matches the trim on his cuffed jeans. A cotton sweatshirt cardigan was the perfect extra layer for this warm fall day. Faux leather navy sneakers complete his ensemble.
Gymboree has been a staple in my kids' closets through the years. The pieces are well made and have cute details. Once we finally dragged Will out of the Pumpkin Barn, he was off running through the orchard.
He tried picking apples, but dropped a few. But most of the day looked like this. Can you spot our little guy? After lots of running. Lots of running. Will settled down in the wagon so the big kids and grown ups could get down to business.
Will was our official taste tester. As long as he was eating a Cameo, everyone was happy.
We had the best fall day. Until it was time to leave. Then toddler meltdown city. Life with a toddler is fun, like a roller coaster.
Thanks to Gymboree for providing this outfit, all opinions are honest and my own.

Travel veteran Ninan Chacko has logged an impressive career running some of the industry's most powerful players, recently taking the reins as head honcho at Travel Leaders Group. During his recent sabbatical, though, he chose to hone a different skill set: mountain biking. Kids, this ain't no Soul Cycle. Check out what happens when a CEO joins a Colombian bike brigade and takes boardroom tough to a new level. Ninan shared his transformative experience, and some pretty amazing photos, with Passported. Read on for some travel inspiration.
My desert island sabbatical took place in the Colombian resort town of Paipa, Boyaca. As an executive transitioning into my next career role, I had the opportunity to plan a 6-week sojourn, the bulk of which was to be spent in a vacation cabin by Lago Sochagota. Paipa figures prominently as the resolutely non-electronic family "camp" that my wife brings our children to every summer for a number of weeks, in a reprise of her childhood vacations.
In addition to carting along a Weber grill, my desert island discs, assorted sambals, a few cases of Bordeaux, Malbec and some port, I also brought along my biking helmet and gear in anticipation of getting some exercise. Through a friend of my wife's, I was introduced to Alex Rodriguez, who biked with a MTB Club called the Bufalos (Grupo de Ciclomontañismo de Paipa Bufalos) in Paipa. This informal group of mountain bikers got together on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays for 2-3 hour group rides and on most other days a smaller subset of Bufalos met to ride.
The Bufalos held court in their den (in reality, a small cafeteria across from the sole traffic light in Paipa) at 7am daily, over numerous cups of tinto. Impeccably attired in professional looking MTB gear, smartly Bufalo-logoed, the riders spanned the spectrum of youth to retirees and varying professions from restaurateur to professional athlete to limo driver. Warmly welcomed by the defacto leader Miguel Ochoa, and Daniel "casco loco" Cepeda, Cesar, Elber, Esperanza, Herman, Dr. Edgar, Popeye, Malagon, Nemecio, Tonio, Los Gatitos and the others as a friend of Alex's, thus began my 3+ weeks of physical, linguistic and cultural education with the Bufalos.
My first ride with Alex and his cousin Robinson was a relatively easy 26km jaunt on a moderate somewhat paved ascent to Duitama via the quaint pueblito of La Trinidad and a return on the shoulder of the autopista.
By Day 2, I had "qualified" for a full-fledged assault on La Isla, beginning with ascending over pasto, traversing across many different fincas, hauling our bikes under alambradas (some electrified just to keep one on one's toes), up part of the 9km ascent to Palermo (which I am confidently told is some of the steepest paved road in Colombia and is used for training by Nairo Quintana, the acclaimed Colombian professional champion cyclist) and then into the woods and more narrow trails up to the top and beyond the Páramo, about 2,000' above Paipa.
Suffice to say, I was gaining deep experience in pushing my bike on foot, across a variety of terrain, thoroughly sodden by seemingly inexhaustible amounts of perspiration pouring out, although enjoying the very crisp and clean mountain air and incomparable vistas. The hair-raising descent was enough to cause me to dismount a few times and allow self-preservation to win over valor and prevent any serious injury. What an awesome experience...I was hooked.
Fortunately the daily post-biking activities centered on an afternoon excursion with the family to the local Estelar resort, where a very reasonable "bono familiar" membership gave us access to the heated pool and the thermal spring-fed jacuzzis. BBQ'ng daily on the terrace of our vacation cabin overlooking the lake with a glass of wine was topped off by an hour massage with our favorite local masseuse.
To level set, my entire MTB experience up to this point consisted of several rides on dirt trails in Dallas, TX in my early 30's and plenty of moderate street riding on paved roads in New York city on my hybrid. Equally, my proficiency in Spanish was frozen in time (and fluency) at the equivalent of a 3-year-old, which is when my bilingual twins firmly declined to let me read to/converse with them any further in Spanish.
Miguel assumed the dual roles of el torturador and coach, announcing both what punishing route to undertake that day while providing sage advice on how to tackle the seemingly impossible and never-ending ascents. Across the three and a half weeks, we never repeated a single route, inevitably arriving at some stunning mirador thousands of feet above Paipa or its surroundings before embarking on a spine-tingling descent right on the edge of being out of control. Some senderos were so dense with vegetation that we had to physically hoist our bikes over our heads and trudge through, while others had rocks the size of grapefruits. Most of our ascents crested 10,000' and thus afforded views of alpine meadows, lakes and forests that thinned out to the unique fauna and flora of the Páramo. Miguel also functioned as the resident botanist, identifying and sometimes collecting samples of local plants.
I was vaguely aware that Paipa with its 8,455' altitude, surrounded by las lomas, with warm, sunny days and cool nights, was known as high altitude training for professional athletes. However nothing prepared me for the all-consuming, gluttonous desire for oxygen as soon as one embarked on any strenuous physical activity. Miguel's gnomic utterances of "toma aire", "despacio", "pasito", "equilibrio", frequently echoed by Alex and Daniel, were comforting but really did not resonate until near the end of the 3+ weeks.
With equanimity, grace, infinite patience and good humor, Alex, Daniel, Miguel and numerous other Bufalos shepherded me through innumerable ascents (and some descents), selections of gears, a flat tire, composure and a great improvement in my Colombian slang: flojo, flojeras, su mercé. From necessity, my pidgin Spanish improved and eventually we got to the inevitable discussions on Catholicism, Donald Trump, job security, families, the FARC etc.
I also learned that the secret elixir of Colombian bikers is agua de panela, which hence found its way into my bike water bottle. However, the strongest source of inspiration was seeing the rest of the Bufalos, from the 73 year oldest member, the several women, the less regular riders, all metronomically tackle ascents without stopping or walking, human machines indeed.
By the tail end of my time, the proportion of walking my bike versus mounted ascents had thankfully inverted and I had only four falls to my name, with no injuries and just the usual assortment of battle scars, minor cuts and scrapes. Aside from hearing Herman's hilarious accounts of falling onto an electrified alambrada and bouncing up and down involuntarily, I had no actual encounters with the latter.
I have been enormously fortunate in life to have had the opportunity to travel widely for work and pleasure all over the world. However, one seldom has the time or the perspective to fully immerse oneself into the essence of a place. To discover its pulse and to truly appreciate a place, sometimes you have to adapt to its rhythms rather than having it adapt to you (which is really what I had vainly attempted in my previous visits to Paipa). My sabbatical afforded me that different opportunity to try a little humility, check out, chill out and change.


Itasca, IL - June 20, 2017 When WannaCry hit, the world learned that for two months a patch had been available that would have prevented the problem. But its victims were those that hadn't yet deployed this patch. As many companies discovered the hard way, there is an unacceptable 'risk window' that persists between the discovery of a software vulnerability and when the patch is successfully installed. In 2016 17,147 vulnerabilities were recorded in 2,136 products from 246 vendors. 81 percent of those vulnerabilities had patches available on the same day as disclosure. But, on average, it takes companies 186 days to completely install those patches . This risk window gives hackers plenty of opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities, and perpetrate attacks with costly consequences to businesses.
Flexera, the company reimagining how software is bought, sold, managed and secured, today announces that it is closing the risk window. Launched today, Software Vulnerability Manager is the first product to fix the broken remediation process, helping companies shut the risk window by quickly identifying, prioritizing and patching vulnerabilities used as entry points by hackers. With the launch of Software Vulnerability Manager, CEOs can now rest easier.
"The disconnect between IT Operations and Security is a great example of organizational misalignment and yet another instance of how software is a 'highly dysfunctional supply chain'. Without technology and alignment bridging this gap, companies face unacceptable risk - as the WannaCry attacks laid bare to the world," said Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer at Flexera Software. "Before Software Vulnerability Manager, there was a huge time lag between IT Security identifying and prioritizing dangerous software vulnerabilities, and IT Operations patching them. With this release today, these teams can finally be on the same page, collaborate and slash the time it takes to eliminate vulnerability risk."
When WannaCry-type attacks arise, they confirm that remediation remains a constant point of failure in vulnerability management programs. Software Vulnerability Manager uses vulnerability intelligence, powered by Secunia Research at Flexera, to allow organizations to continually track, identify and remediate vulnerable software - before exploitation leads to costly breaches. It bridges existing gaps in vulnerability management programs, and connects IT Security and IT Operations to ensure a smooth hand-off from identification to remediation, significantly reducing the risk window.
"WannaCry sent a loud and clear message to every CIO and CISO around the globe - closing the vulnerability risk window is critical to keep businesses secure," said Tom Canning, Vice President of Solutions and Strategy at Flexera Software. "The time is ripe for IT Security and IT Operations to work together more effectively and efficiently with shared accountability, processes and tools that prove we don't need to sacrifice security for uptime and performance. With Software Vulnerability Manager, IT Security and IT Operations teams can implement SecOps initiatives to be true company champions. It is the only security solution to provide access to timely vulnerability advisories, accurate assessments and security patches - all in a single platform."


Nov. 7, 2018, was the day I decided that I needed my own list. On that beautiful morning, I read the Davis Gonsalves column "Ranking the spineless, copycat rankers" and thought … it's time. The work of the list-makers has been extensive, as Mr. Gonsalves notes. So, like Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga did with the third installation of "A Star is Born," I'm hoping to honor the rich Viewpoint tradition of offering a list of my own.
Truthfully, there are so many options yet to be explored. Given my passion for hoops, I could list which Jordan-led Bulls teams would have a chance at beating the modern-day Warriors. Another list worth creating is a Top 5 for most random places that I've seen a LimeBike abandoned. Spots that lead the average passerby to believe that the zombie apocalypse may have actually occurred.
But then it finally hit me. We are now in the first week of Advent. Just last night, "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" reigned supreme at Masses all across campus. From uptempo to slow-jam versions of the classic hymn, we sang of a desire to be freed from what holds us bound, to rejoice in the presence of our God. We are certainly not the first to carry such a hope. Take a read through this passage from Isaiah, written around the eighth century BC.
"For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, upon David's throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!" (Isaiah 9: 5-6).
The scriptures are filled with examples of men and women who have actively contemplated both the presence and coming kingdom of God. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we put ourselves in the shoes of Isaiah, Zechariah, Elizabeth, Simeon and Mary as we ponder the promises that God has in store.
For people of faith, prayer is the best tool we have to contemplate the mystery of God's work in our midst. Moments devoted to letting go of our to-do lists, our plans for the day and allowing God to fill us. Time spent away from the crowds, in quiet places where the subtle movements of our loving creator can be detected. If only we had places nearby that could accommodate such reflection.
Wait a minute! Did you know that Notre Dame has over 50 chapels on campus? Places uniquely designed with the hopes that they might foster an encounter with God.
Truth be told, I have not prayed in every chapel, but there are locations on campus that have great meaning to me because of my own personal experiences with them. Chapels where I have felt the presence of God. So that's my list! Below are the Top-7 chapels to pray in, according to my incredibly biased perspective.
Admittedly this is slightly awkward: the chapel no longer exists. Rest in peace, Corby Hall. However, when the chapel did exist, there was an etching on the back altar that said, "Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." This quote from the final chapter and verse of St. Matthew's Gospel always gave me great comfort and courage.
From 2013 to 2015, I had the privilege of working toward a Masters in Business Administration through Mendoza. There were a number of prayers offered in this chapel with the hopes that I might survive the next exam.
My first dorm Mass was offered in this beautiful chapel. If you stop by, be sure to offer a prayer before the statue of St. Olaf, the patron saint of Norway, where Knute Rockne was born.
It was an honor to serve as rector of Keough for six years. Praying with and for that community under the protection of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a role that I will forever cherish.
The chapel is right down the hall from my office (115 CoMo). Most importantly, we have Eucharistic Adoration from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. every day of the week throughout the semester.
The chapel's signature feature is the stained-glass windows of the archangels constructed by Fr. Tony Lauck, C.S.C. When the sunlight hits the colored glass, the radiance is truly something to behold.
I'm proud to be the in-residence priest of Stanford Hall. This chapel feels like home.
Disagree with my list? Fantastic! Tag @NDMinistry on Instagram or Twitter with a picture of your favorite spot(s) to pray.
Are you looking to spend a little extra time in prayer over finals week? The Basilica will be open and available from noon until 9 p.m. for you to drop in for as long as you'd like. As the semester ends, be sure to ask God for the grace to finish strong and remain grateful for all that you have received. Please know of my prayers for you in these days ahead.

The best part of the work we do is winning for our clients — for the people born elsewhere who call this place home. Whatever it is: someone released from detention, an application for permanent residence approved, a newly sworn in U.S. citizen eager to vote — those are the best rewards and that is why we do this work.
That said, it makes us proud to be recognized by our colleagues, peers, and other advocates for our human rights work on behalf of immigrant communities. We've done a lot of great, innovative, and challenging work over the years. The acknowledgement we've received from our colleagues is humbling and inspiring. We collaborate with advocates all across Oregon and the nation. And we sure appreciate the work that they do each and every day to make our nation a safer, saner place for immigrants and their families.
In 2008, our firm was awarded the Gerald R. Robinson, Excellence in Advocacy Award for innovative immigration related pro bono impact-litigation to benefit Oregon's immigrant communities as we took on the litigation and removal defense organizing after the tragic Del Monte Immigration Raids (check out this Op-Ed piece we co-authored about Del Monte). Stephen has been recognized for his defense of immigrants in court cases across the nation. In 2009, he was awarded the Edith Lowenstein Award, (American Immigration Lawyers Association, 2009) for Significant Contributions to the Advancement of Immigration and Nationality Law. In 2010, he was the Chair of the American Immigration Lawyer's Associations Amicus Committee that received (for the first time ever!) the prestigious Jack Wasserman Award for Excellence in Immigration Litigation for successful and innovative immigration litigation nationwide. In 2008, he was acknowledged for his work on behalf of immigrants and refugees by the Mayor of Portland with a Spirit of Portland award. In 2013 Stephen was named the first ever AILA western region Pro Bono Hero.
What we've said has made the news, too. Stephen was quoted in the New York Times a couple of times. There is this Op-Ed in The Guardian. You can read The Artesia Report, a report on the pro bono work at the family detention center in Artesia, New Mexico.
In 2013 and 2014 all three attorneys were named to the Oregon Super Lawyers list of outstanding immigration attorneys. In prior years we've been recognized repeatedly as being Super Lawyers and Super Lawyers Rising Stars for several years running. You can check out the details here: Jessica, Jennifer, Stephen.

If I run this command on terminal through same login it works perfectly. Now I want to do it through the java app. My code looks like this:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tar cvf - "+tempFolder+"* |gzip > " + strBackupFolder + File.separator + "dbBackup_" + new SimpleDateFormat("dd_MMM_yyyy__HH_mm_ss").format(new Date()) + ".tar.gz" );

int exitVal = process.waitFor();

I get exit code 2 here.

Discussion in 'Ducks' started by Wokawidget, Aug 9, 2009.
I have a 3 month old white Campbell duck, who has 3 chicken friends. Silliest thing ever.
She's pretty quiet most of the time...unless I play fight with her or feed her some tasty treats. She's certainly not going to annoy the neighbours.
How loud are runner ducks?
Will adding a runner duck to my Campbell cause critical mass, which will end up in them quaking their heads off together and driving everyone to eat they own head?
I live in an Urban area, and not the country, so noise is a massive factor.
We have 5 Runners, and they are pretty quiet for the most part. The females quack like crazy when they hear my daughter's voice because they know food is on the way. They will also quack quite a bit when the dog runs by the run or they get startled. The males barely make any noise, and when they do it is like a muffled croak.
Yea, males are certainly way quieter!
We definately want a female duck for her egg laying abilities.
So we should just hear background quacks then not them both going nuts because they can?
My runner girls quack more and more as they get older!
They quack when the drake is ___ with another duck. They quack when he's ____ with a chicken. They quack if one gets too far away from the others.
Ling Ling Quacks ALL THE TIME!!!!
If the windows are open and I cough, WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK!
If I sneeze, WACK WACK WACK WACK WACK!
IF she hears my voice, if their food bowl needs filled.... You get the idea.
But I can't remember if she was this loud before my other Runner duck Cinder was killed.
I know that as soon as Cinder was gone Ling Ling started quacking like crazy in groups of 3. WACK WACK WACK. I am certain this is how she would call Cinder.
I did giver her extra attention between when Cinder died, and when I got her a new friend.
I'm wondering if that is why she does this now.
I'm afraid she's going to annoy the neighbors.
I don't know how to get her to stop the mad quacking.
I'd like to get a couple more runners, but I'm afraid of the noise factor.
I think it depends on the duck for the noise factor. We have 14 ducks now (along with 15 chickens and 4 guineas) on 1 1/2 acres. My neighbors say they can't hear them unless they are outside and none of them mind the noise. Our broody runners were definitely more noisy, or if they are running from you they can get noisy. 2 ducks shouldn't be too bad on the noise factor. And of course drakes are quieter. I haven't seen a white Campbell, but I have seen a picture. They are pretty.
My Cambell, called Boggling is quiet normally...but if she gets a sniff that you may have food, or she's play fighting with me, then she's quite a loud accoustic noise generator.
As requested, here's some pictures of Boggling.
Those are great pics, really cute!! I had to click on the photos to make them big enough to really see. She kinda looks like a young pekin, but her neck is different.

Inaugural Calendar
DemDaily: In The Words of Presidents
Posted June 4, 2020 | by KimS | in 2020Presidential, Coronavirus, DemDaily, Resource, Trump Administration
Amid nine days of protest and civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, four former United States presidents spoke out this week as the void of leadership in the current White House compelled them to voice their concerns, their words of comfort, and their call for change and community to an anxious nation.
It was an unprecedented collective of statements during an unprecedented time in our country's history -- each in stark contrast to the current president who has stoked the seeds of hate and flamed the fires that have spread through our cities nationwide.
(Image: CBS News)
US President, 1993-2000
May 30th Statement by former President Bill Clinton
"No one deserves to die the way George Floyd did...
Fifty-seven years ago, Dr. King dreamed of a day when his 'four little children would be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.' Today, that dream seems even more out of reach, and we'll never reach it if we keep treating people of color with the unspoken assumption that they're less human...
We need to see each other as equally deserving of life, liberty, respect, dignity, and the presumption of innocence. We need to ask ourselves and each other hard questions, and listen carefully to the answers.
Here's where I'd start.
If George Floyd had been white, handcuffed, and lying on the ground, would he be alive today? Why does this keep happening? What can we do to ensure that every community has the police department it needs and deserves? What can I do?
We can't honestly answer these questions in the divide and conquer, us vs. them, shift the blame and shirk the responsibility world we're living in. People with power should go first-answer the questions, expand who's 'us' and shrink who's 'them,' accept some blame, and assume more responsibility. But the rest of us have to answer these questions too."
June 1st Statement by former President Barack Obama titled,
"How to Make This Moment the Turning Point for Real Change"
In separate June 3rd video, Obama Addresses Young People of Color: "Your lives matter, your dreams matter" (Watch/CLICK)
"First, the waves of protests across the country represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over a decades-long failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system in the United States...
(But) let's not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system, and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we have to model that code ourselves...
The point of protest is to raise public awareness, to put a spotlight on injustice, and to make the powers that be uncomfortable; in fact, throughout American history, it's often only been in response to protests and civil disobedience that the political system has even paid attention to marginalized communities. But eventually, aspirations have to be translated into specific laws and institutional practices - and in a democracy, that only happens when we elect government officials who are responsive to our demands...
The elected officials who matter most in reforming police departments and the criminal justice system work at the state and local levels...
So the bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn't between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform...
I recognize that these past few months have been hard and dispiriting - that the fear, sorrow, uncertainty, and hardship of a pandemic have been compounded by tragic reminders that prejudice and inequality still shape so much of American life. But watching the heightened activism of young people in recent weeks, of every race and every station, makes me hopeful. If, going forward, we can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation's long journey to live up to our highest ideals. Let's get to work."
(Xena Goldman)
June 2nd Statement by former President George W. Bush
"Laura and I are anguished by the brutal suffocation of George Floyd and disturbed by the injustice and fear that suffocate our country. Yet we have resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen...
The only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving. Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America - or how it becomes a better place...
The heroes of America - from Frederick Douglass, to Harriet Tubman, to Abraham Lincoln, to Martin Luther King, Jr. - are heroes of unity. Their calling has never been for the fainthearted. They often revealed the nation's disturbing bigotry and exploitation - stains on our character sometimes difficult for the American majority to examine. We can only see the reality of America's need by seeing it through the eyes of the threatened, oppressed, and disenfranchised."
This will require a consistent, courageous, and creative effort. We serve our neighbors best when we try to understand their experience. We love our neighbors as ourselves when we treat them as equals, in both protection and compassion. There is a better way - the way of empathy, and shared commitment, and bold action, and a peace rooted in justice. I am confident that together, Americans will choose the better way."
Carter: We "must stand up and say 'no more'" (John Amis/AP)
June 3rd Statement by former President Jimmy Carter
"Rosalynn and I are pained by the tragic racial injustices and consequent backlash across our nation in recent weeks. Our hearts are with the victims' families and all who feel hopeless in the face of pervasive racial discrimination and outright cruelty. We all must shine a spotlight on the immorality of racial discrimination. But violence, whether spontaneous or consciously incited, is not a solution.
As a white male of the South, I know all too well the impact of segregation and injustice to African Americans. As a politician, I felt a responsibility to bring equity to my state and our country. In my 1971 inaugural address as Georgia's governor, I said: 'The time for racial discrimination is over.' With great sorrow and disappointment, I repeat those words today, nearly five decades later. Dehumanizing people debases us all; humanity is beautifully and almost infinitely diverse. The bonds of our common humanity must overcome the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices.
Since leaving the White House in 1981, Rosalynn and I have strived to advance human rights in countries around the world. In this quest, we have seen that silence can be as deadly as violence. People of power, privilege, and moral conscience must stand up and say 'no more' to a racially discriminatory police and justice system, immoral economic disparities between whites and blacks, and government actions that undermine our unified democracy. We are responsible for creating a world of peace and equality for ourselves and future generations.
We need a government as good as its people, and we are better than this."

Oracle has a metalink note, and documentation about upgrading a standby database, as long as you use Data Guard.
Our standby database is maintained with BRARCHIVE - and I can not find any guidance from SAP on upgrading the standby, if you use BRARCHIVE.
Has anyone done this? We have a very large database, and rebuilding it from scratch would require a lot of work.
If I remember correctly, Oracle will temporarily switch to noarchivelog during the migration.
Joe - you have the option of switching to noarchivelog, but it is not necessary. I upgraded to 10g in dev, and left the database in archivelog mode, to see how much log activity would be generated. I believe approximately 1 gig of logs are generated during the upgrade from 9.2 to 10.2.
I want to point out, that it is possible to upgrade to 10.2 from 9.2 while using BRARCHIVE. He is what I did - if you have any questions, please let me know.
When the primary is upgrading - make sure you have not turned off ARCHIVE LOGGING - it is in an option in the DBUA. You will need about 1 gig in the archive destination for the upgrade.
On the STANDBY - make sure your environment is set to the new 10.2 ORACLE_HOME. I would also change /etc/oratab.
You can now start BRARCHIVE - and let it apply logs to the standby.
When it finishes, you are upgraded.
You should change the standby init.ora or spfile to reflect any changes you made on the primary (for example, change compatible to 10.2.0).


Thin layer of bittersweet Belgian chocolate and pure peppermint oil topped with creamy white chocolate and sprinkled with our handmade candy crunch. It's not just for Christmas!
Peppermint bark is dark chocolate and peppermint layered with white chocolate and topped with Seely's own candy cane, complex and festive regardless of the season.
This product is non GMO, gluten free, and contains all natural ingredients.
Ingredients: European bittersweet chocolate (chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soy lecithin (emulsifier), vanilla extract), white chocolate (cocoa butter, sugar, dry whole milk, soy lecithin (emulsifier), vanilla extract), candy (sugar, organic tapioca syrup, cream of tartar, peppermint oil), Seely's pure peppermint oil.
All our amazing mint chocolates, peppermint bark included, are hand crafted in small batches using the highest quality GMO-free ingredients. We use custom-crafted European chocolate to showcase the unique flavor profile of our pure essential oils from the Seely Family Farm in Clatskanie Oregon. Our delectable creations are always all natural, thoroughly satisfying, and completely addictive!
Seely Mint uses only single-distilled and unblended essential mint oils from sustainably grown mint at Seely Family Farm. Seely Mint confections are perfect for any occasion and make an excelent gift.
The Seely Family Farm is now ran by the fourth generation of the Seely Family, and most all of the same farming practices are still used today. The mint stock is native to the area in which it's grown, it's harvested only in the peak of summer (which is the mint season), and we never distill our oil more than once.


Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate rejected a move Wednesday by black lawmakers to recognize Colin Kaepernick as part of Black History Month.
MADISON - Republicans in the state Senate rejected a move Wednesday by black lawmakers to recognize Colin Kaepernick as part of Black History Month — prompting Democrats to oppose a ceremonial resolution that usually gains broad bipartisan support.
The turn of events meant that both of the state's black senators, Lena Taylor and LaTonya Johnson, voted against a measure meant to celebrate Black History Month.
The pair expressed frustration that white legislators excised the National Football League quarterback's name from the long list of those worthy of praise.
"This year all of the sudden for the first time we've been told that we have to have permission to determine who we want to honor for Black History Month," Taylor said on the Senate floor. "I have not seen it when we've honored any other group, any other thing."
She said white Republicans have maintained "they're best suited to decide for African-Americans what we should value, who we should honor."
The Senate vote came a day after a similar fight flared in the Assembly amid GOP opposition to honoring someone who has drawn attention for kneeling during the national anthem to protest the treatment of black people.
GOP senators did not explain their views on the floor of the Senate as Democrats criticized them for four hours for keeping black lawmakers from lauding Kaepernick.
Supporters say Kaepernick is exercising his First Amendment right to protest what he views as racial injustice. Critics say he is denigrating the American flag and American principles.
The plan to honor Kaepernick won initial support from two Senate Republicans — Alberta Darling of River Hills and Dale Kooyenga of Brookfield — but the pair went along with keeping Kaepernick's name off the resolution after their colleagues raised objections.
Kooyenga said he did not believe he had reversed his stance on the resolution.
"It's a procedural vote," he said of his vote to keep Kaepernick's name off the list of those to be honored.
Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach of Middleton called the partisan split on the issue "one of the uglier" votes senators have taken.
"There is such a thing as white privilege and we're looking at it right now. We're staring it in the face," he said.
It's the second year in a row the resolution recognizing Black History Month has sparked controversy.
In 2018, Republican Rep. Scott Allen of Waukesha said he and other Republican lawmakers objected to the black caucus' resolution that year because it didn't include black Wisconsinites he believed should be honored, including U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., who has been criticized for demeaning black residents of the state.
That year, the Assembly passed two separate resolutions on the issue.
The latest dispute began Tuesday, when Assembly Republican leaders, all of whom are white, refused to include Kaepernick's name on a resolution drafted by black lawmakers honoring more than two dozen black Americans.
Republicans pulled Kaepernick's name from the resolution and the Assembly passed it unanimously. Afterward, some Assembly Democrats renounced their votes for it and announced they were asking to be recorded as opposing it.
On Wednesday in the Senate, Taylor sought to get Kaepernick's name back into the resolution.
Republicans refused to do that. The Senate voted 19-14 for a version of the resolution without Kaepernick's name, with all Republicans for it and all Democrats against it.
Taylor and other Democrats chastised Republicans for their opposition to putting Kaepernick's name back on the resolution.
Taylor said civil rights pioneers Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Rosa Parks were controversial in their day, only to be widely praised later.
"The people on the other side of Harriet Tubman, that's you today," Taylor told Republican senators.
Tuesday's debate in the Assembly was just as fiery, with Democratic Rep. David Crowley of Milwaukee calling the move to strip Kaepernick's name from the resolution "a textbook example of white privilege" and a "slap in the face."
Also Tuesday, GOP Rep. Barbara Dittrich of Oconomowoc disavowed a tweet posted under her name during the debate that criticized Kaepernick. She said she believed the tweet had been posted by her aide Keith Best, who drew attention last year for tweeting under another lawmaker's name.
"Colin Kapernick wore socks depicting police as pigs. Flags are flying at half-staff for a murdered policeman. Are you kidding me????" read the tweet under Dittrich's name, which misspelled Kaepernick's name.
It was taken down soon after it was posted. Dittrich said Tuesday she was angry about the tweet and would discipline Best if she determined it was posted by him.
On Wednesday, Best's name was removed from Dittrich's website, but it was not immediately clear why.
"I'm not going to discuss private personnel matters, but it's been dealt with," Dittrich said Wednesday.
Last year, Best tweeted from then-Rep. Tom Weatherston's account a response to Taylor when she argued voter suppression was overlooked. The tweet from Weatherston's account claimed voter ID opponents like Taylor were "the true racists."
Weatherston said at the time he would consider punishing Best. Weatherston, who left office last month because he didn't seek re-election, refused to say Tuesday whether he had disciplined Best.
