Created to house artifacts and other objects of interest, this striking African -themed cabinet flaunts wildlife carvings commemorating the beautiful Kudu Antelope. A vintage African spearhead adorns the top of the crown molding. Multiple light sources provide focal lighting on the shelves as well as accent lighting for the wildlife carvings and room ambiance. A secret compartment provides a place for treasures to be privately secured.
A distinctive place to stick up your guns, these 12-gun case and pistol cabinets are entirely handmade with traditional joinery and exceptional old-school woodworking techniques.
Hand-forged hinges, latches, locks, and hooks for hanging accessories, along with painstakingly carved "bark look" trim and an intricate relief carving are but a few of the meticulous details. Additionally, back-lit buckthorn bark accent lighting,and leather-lined gun stock holders showcase the gun collection.
In the cabinet below, three drawers are secured behind lower raised-panel wood doors; one drawer is lined in curly bison fur to display pistols.
This comprehensive design include appointed supplemental security measures and a concealed pop-out key holder.
Inspired by the forbidden speakeasies that flourished during the Prohibition era, Brad has created a fun, interactive cabinet that is perfectly suited for a small bar, yet can lend itself to other uses. Utilizing a striking array of California hardwoods, repurposed metals, textured surfaces, traditional joinery, and meticulous carvings, Greenwood has created a unique furniture piece. Delightful features such as a hidden pop-out key holder, whimsical surprise artistry, room and task lighting, lockable doors, and so much more, demonstrates the artist's brilliant attention to detail.
Inside the cupboard you'll find an upper shelf and lower platform shelf, both with hand-textured attributes. The lower platform can be removed should someone require more tabletop space. Interior task lighting and quaint fasteners mounted inside the doors hold an antique condiment holder and artisan-carved wooden cocktail stirrer.
A beautiful pull out cutting board, drawer, rock screen outer shelf, and remarkable wildlife focal point complete the piece. A discreet button acts as a release to the hidden drop-down secret peek-through that emerges from behind the window, and a familiar face becomes visible to ensure you're allowed in.
Appealing and playful, Brad's distinctive nod to Old World design and merit is creatively mastered.
Carved bark-look trim, rough sawn legs, textured surfaces and a masterfully carved wildlife focal point provide the artistic composition of these bedside tables.
Further highlights include vintage drawer pulls, soft amber color LED lighting, and a spot for a cell phone and tablet device.

Trophy Hunters may have Shot Australian Crocodile
By Mike| 2014-02-08T16:42:47+00:00	September 13th, 2012|Animal News Stories|0 Comments
Body of Saltwater Crocodile Found – Shot by Trophy Hunters?
Government environmental officers in the town of Broome (Kimberley region, Western Australia), are examining the carcase of a four metre long crocodile found at a popular, local fishing spot known as Crab Creek. Saltwater crocodiles are relatively common in the area but to find the corpse of an animal is quite rare, especially one where most of the teeth have been removed.
The officials suspect that the animal, which had been shot, was killed by trophy hunters eager to grab crocodile teeth as they make "crocodile Dundee-like" hat bands and necklaces.
The decomposing body was discovered a couple of days ago and an examination of the skull showed that the reptile had been shot in the head with a high-powered rifle.
A district wildlife officer commented:
"With this animal we found the teeth had been removed, people like to keep teeth for necklaces or trophies so that could have been the motive."
In Western Australia it is an offence to kill a crocodile, there is a $10,000 AUD fine for anyone caught and there are additional penalties for anyone taking parts of a carcase – including the teeth.
If the bullet is found it will be removed and studied as part of the investigation.
Update on Papo Brachiosaurus
By Mike| 2014-01-11T18:57:28+00:00	September 13th, 2012|Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|3 Comments
Papo Dinosaur Model Delayed
The Papo Brachiosaurus dinosaur model has been delayed once more. The model, the largest dinosaur model that the French manufacturer has attempted to date was due to be launched in July of this year, but it has been subjected to a number of delays. Everything Dinosaur team members had been assured by Papo that their shipment would be with them perhaps late September or at worst early October, however, there has been more slippage in the schedule.
Stocks are not expected in until sometime in October, perhaps towards the end of the month, although a more precise date could not be obtained.
A spokesman for Everything Dinosaur commented:
"We are disappointed to hear this news, but hopefully we will have stocks very soon. We apologise to all our customers who have reserved a model with us, we have been told that we are amongst the first organisations to get this super-sized Sauropod replica."
Everything Dinosaur will continue to monitor the situation and as soon as we have more news…

DC Suburbs: Maryland vs. Virginia
How do the DC suburbs of Maryland and Virginia compare?
James Joyner · Monday, February 7, 2011 · 7 comments
Tyler Cowen compares Maryland and Virginia, especially their DC suburbs and exurbs:
The food says a lot: Maryland has kosher food and Caribbean food. Virginia has better Bolivian, Vietnamese, Korean, Afghan, Ethiopian, and Persian food. (Here is a new piece on minorities in Virginia.) Both have excellent Sichuan food. Both have very good El Salvadoran and Thai food. Neither has real barbecue. Maryland used to have better Indian food, now Virginia has much better Indian food, including dosas. Apart from Bethesda, Maryland has virtually no "fine dining." Maryland has many more Russians, albeit without a decent restaurant.
Virginia has Tysons Corner, Tysons Mall I and II, The Palm, and a Ritz-Carlton, or in other words a lot of tacky, revenue-generating corporate assets. Virginia has better and more consistent school systems. Virginia has better Beltway on- and off-ramps.
Bethesda is better integrated into DC than is any part of Virginia, with Arlington playing catch-up. Virginia has the airports, the Pentagon, a better business climate, and lower taxes.
Virginia has more ugly colonial houses, and more arches and pillars, Maryland has more tacky old American box houses. I dislike ugly colonial.
Virginia feels more like an assortment of minorities working within an essentially Protestant framework. Maryland was originally founded as a Catholic colony.
This strikes me as about right, although I'm amused at Cowen's pet peeves. I happen to like Tyson's and its malls and am quite happy with my center hall colonial. I've not stayed at the local Ritz-Carlton, although I do like their properties generally. The Palm is a little frou-frou for my tastes but I do tend to like high end chain steakhouses.

Being a South Carolinian, BBQ is third only to family and college football in my priority list. Willard's in Chantilly is at least decent. Not Wilber's or Lexington #1, but decent.
Can anyone explain to a foreigner what the difference is between an ugly colonial and a non-ugly colonial? If we're just talking absolutely massive entrance porches, I'm very much with Cowen. Beyond that, I think a lot of colonial-type houses are quite charming. As a Brit, I also feel there's much to commend in having multiple clearly defined reception rooms. Houses in Florida make me want to scream.
DC Loser says:
What's ugly are the colonials with the brick on the front (street) side only but vinly siding on all the other sides. Tacky!
Rockland's is quite good. And two of the chains, Smoky Bones and Famous Dave's, do a quite credible job of BBQ. Carolina-style is hard to find, since the vinegar-based sauce hasn't spread regionally as well as the Texas and Kansas City styles, but Smoky Bones has a pretty good version.
DC Loser:
I'm with you on that score, even though my own house is of that variety. It's very hard to find one that's brick all around, alas, and retrofitting is too expensive.
James, you should re-label the post to make it clear this is referring to VA and MD only from a DC point of view. For example, the good schools and fine dining comments certainly don't apply outside the beltway area for either of those two states.
MM: Done. I made the distinction in the opening paragraph but you're right, this is just about the DC area and not the two states as a whole.
Depends on how you define "outside the beltway." Most of Fairfax and Montgomery counties are outside the beltway, but they are the largest population centers for the suburbs in their respective states. When people talk about good schools, those two counties are the standard against which others are judged. Metropolitan area is a better descriptor.

Monaco insist that two of their young stars, Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva, are not considering an exit this summer.
The top goal scorers in Europe at the moment, Monaco, have a squad full of stars who are having a ball of a season in Ligue 1. They are currently in with a shot at the French domestic title, but the manager and the owner of the club have plenty to worry about ahead of the summer transfer window.
A number of star players from the club have constantly been linked with an exit, and two players, who are reportedly not ready for an exit, are Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva.
Mbappe, the 18-year old French star, broke into the first team this season after spending a couple in the academy at Monaco, and he is in the form of his life at the moment, scoring 23 goals in all competitions.
He is currently one of the most productive and exciting players in his positions in Europe, and is attracting a lot of interest from England. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are all linked with a move for the teenager, but it is now understood that he has no intention of quitting the Ligue 1 outfit anytime soon.
Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev revealed today that neither Mbappe, nor Silva, have asked the club that they want to leave.
He told Telefoot: "We do not need to sell, the budget is balanced. For the moment, not a single player has told me that they want to leave. We will discuss it all in a relaxed manner.


Described by CNBC as the "toughest lawyer on Wall Street" and by Bloomberg Financial News as an "uberlitigator," Marc E. Kasowitz is widely regarded as one of the preeminent trial lawyers in the country. He has been profiled by The American Lawyer in an article entitled "Heavy Hitter" and in the cover story "Fast Rise to the Top."
Marc has been recognized by Benchmark Litigation as one of the country's top 100 trial lawyers. He has been honored as a "Litigation Trailblazer" by the National Law Journal and was designated a "Securities MVP" by Law360, which noted that he "has made a career out of beating big banks." Marc has also been recognized as one of the nation's top litigators by publications including Chambers USA ("widely respected as an 'extremely talented litigator,'" praised by clients for "his 'tremendous trial experience,'"); Lawdragon 500 ("the cream of the crop"); Benchmark ("a unique, zealous, and exceptionally skilled advocate" "his guidance is extremely reliable and he is very client-focused and big picture-oriented"); The Legal 500 ("excellent across the board," "superbly talented lawyer," and "very much at the center" of the current spate of mortgage-backed securities litigation) and The Best Lawyers in America. Opponents cited by The American Lawyer have acknowledged Marc as a "powerhouse" and "the toughest of the tough guys," and a foreign publication has referred to him as "one of the most prominent and feared lawyers in the United States."
Marc regularly serves as national trial counsel in complex litigation in the areas of bank finance, fraudulent conveyance, RICO, corporate governance, antitrust, securities, mass tort, product liability, environmental, breach of contract, and other commercial cases. Marc also has an extensive and successful track record in dealing with investigations and lawsuits by state attorneys general, including path-breaking settlements of tobacco litigation. Marc has also conducted numerous internal investigations on behalf of boards of directors, management and special committees regarding alleged corporate misfeasance, conflicts of interest, challenges to board authority, insider trading, accounting fraud, market timing, obstruction of justice, market manipulation, and other issues relating to director and officer fiduciary responsibilities and liabilities.
Marc, the firm's founding and managing partner, has been profiled by Law360 as one of the country's most innovative managing partners.
Marc is a member the New York Supreme Court Civil-Commercial Division's Advisory Committee. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the New York Legal Aid Society.
President Donald J. Trump in a wide range of litigation matters for over 15 years.
ACA Financial Guaranty Corp., a bond insurer, in its $120 million fraud suit against Goldman, Sachs & Co. and hedge fund Paulson & Co., Inc. for fraudulently inducing ACA to issue a financial guaranty for Goldman's ABACUS CDO by deceiving ACA about Paulson's role and financial interest in the transaction. Marc successfully argued the case before the New York Court of Appeals, creating precedent on the standards for reliance in fraud actions under New York law.
Douglas Elliman Realty, one of the largest real estate brokerage firms in the country, in numerous employment, contract, intellectual property and commercial matters.
AMC Networks in the defense of a lawsuit brought by profit participants alleging, among other things, breach of contract, and seeking additional profit distributions from the AMC television series The Walking Dead.
Association of Financial Guaranty Insurers, a trade association comprised of the leading monoline insurers, in a successful First Circuit argument that a Puerto Rican law allowing Puerto Rico, rather than Congress, to restructure its debt was unconstitutional and preempted by the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Marc's amicus brief and oral arguments were considered instrumental in this precedent-setting win.
Source Interlink Distribution and Source Interlink Companies, magazine wholesalers, in an antitrust action alleging that leading magazine publishers and their distributors conspired to force Source out of the wholesale single-issue magazine market. After Marc obtained a temporary restraining order compelling the defendant magazine publishers and their national distributors to resume supplying magazines to Source, one commentator noted: "Standing in the way of the publishers' alleged conspiracy, like Superman in front of a speeding locomotive, has been Kasowitz Benson." The case then settled on favorable terms.
Private equity funds Apollo Management, Centerbridge Capital Partners, Fortress Investment Group, TPG Capital and others in disputes in large leveraged buyout transactions. Marc formulated the litigation strategy for disputes with target companies regarding material adverse effect clauses, post-merger insolvency and specific performance, and disputes with major banks regarding funding of debt financing commitments.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as lead trial counsel in the five-week trial concerning the Port Authority's alleged liability for personal injury, wrongful death and business interruption damages arising from the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. After trial, the New York Court of Appeals dismissed the action on the basis of a governmental immunity defense developed by Marc.
Apollo Management and its portfolio company, Hexion Specialty Chemicals, in litigation arising from Hexion's proposed $15 billion merger with Huntsman Chemicals. Marc prosecuted an expedited proceeding against Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank to compel specific performance of the banks' commitments to fund the acquisition, and successfully negotiated a settlement with Huntsman, bringing an end to one of the largest-ever battles over a leveraged buyout. The Wall Street Journal lauded the settlement as a "sweet deal" for Apollo and Hexion.
Celanese Chemicals as national counsel for mass product liability litigation concerning allegedly defective plumbing systems installed in six million homes nationwide. In addition to winning several trials on behalf of Celanese, Marc also negotiated and gained final approval for one of the largest product liability class action settlements in history, and successfully defended that settlement against constitutional law challenges in federal and state trial and appellate courts around the country.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS") Trusts, on behalf and at the direction of the holders of certificates in these Trusts, in put-back actions for breach of contract against the mortgage originators and/or the banks that sold the mortgage loans to the Trusts.
Harold Peerenboom in a defamation action against billionaire Isaac Perlmutter arising out of an anonymous hate-mail campaign against Peerenboom. Marc defeated numerous motions by Perlmutter to dismiss the case, with the Court holding that the complaint's allegations sufficiently "link[ed]" Perlmutter to the hate mail campaign and that Perlmutter's alleged conduct was "sufficiently outrageous" to sustain a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Marc is...excellent across the board...a superbly talented lawyer.
Marc Kasowitz has been profiled by Forbes in "Marc Kasowitz of Kasowitz Benson: 'To Succeed Means Checking Egos and Personal Agendas at the Door,'" which highlights Marc Kasowitz's increasingly high profile and the business aspects of growing a firm.


It is Friday – I am sure you do a little happy dance like I do when Friday rolls around each week. Friday is also the day when a new post I have written gets posted on the Home and Living page over at Momtastic. This week I show a few ways that I try to make fake flowers look more realistic. You can click here to read more.
My absolute favorite project that I found this week is the Mondo Pom Pom Pillow Susan at Living with Punks made. Susan is a Home and Living Contributor over at Momtastic, too. I have never met her, but I sure do like her style.
Isn't it fabulous? It not only makes me smile because it is so adorably chic, but when I was reading her tutorial – which is great by the way, my eyes got a little watery when I saw her technique for making a pom pom- the old fashioned way. Seeing it instantly brought back happy memories of when my mom taught me how to make my very first pom pom when I was about 10. My sister and I use to put them on our sneakers and sported them in our ponytails. We made them in every color yarn we could get our hands on. It was nice to see a classic technique revived in such a chic way.
I am going to make something similar myself. I will show you as soon as I get it done, I have the fabric -just need to go buy the yarn with my 40% off coupon I have from JoAnn's fabrics. It is going to be for my Autumn décor – OMG -just typing the word – AUTUMN makes me giddy with excitement. It can't get here soon enough. The summer is winding down and I have many plans for fall that I will be sharing with you soon. I can't wait to get started.
The second project that I loved was a typewriter table that Carrie over at Lovely, Etc. made over with a map. If you know me well – you know I love maps (I even made over my laundry closet with maps). If my daughters read this post I am sure they will be nodding yes, or more likely rolling their eyes as I drove them crazy with my "map love" as they call it.
I think I am having a bit of a nostalgic week here as I used to have one of these tables and used it as my very first craft/creative space when I was a teen. I painted mine white. Carrie painted hers white too, but added a map to the top that looks especially fabulous as she covered it with resin – creating the perfect decorative surface. I had that typewriter in brown when I was in college. It looks vintage now. It was state of the art back in the 80's.
The 3rd project I loved had me wanting to run to Lowes right away to go buy a pack of mirror tiles. Look at this gorgeous mirror Jackie over at Teal & Lime made. I love all the bevels – they catch all the light, plus the scale is perfect for her foyer staircase. This is one fabulously executed DIY project.
That is it for this week, but check the DIY Daily page every so often to see the projects that I have added each week.
Do you have anything exciting planned for the weekend? Ed and I ride our bikes on bike trails that wind around the suburbs and into Philadelphia on the weekends. We have gotten as far as Conshohocken – 42 miles. Over the weekend we will try to get to Manayunk which will be about 55 miles. We pack a lunch and stop along the Schuylkill River to eat and renew our energy. Simple pleasures that get me out of the house and off the computer.
I still like your own instructions the best, you are so clear, use less money, give the cost of what you paid (even though I can not find a door mirror at Wal-Mart for $4.99 – wink wink) cause I think they sell too fast at mine, but you are usually right on with the price you pay for all your supplies, you are good at finding bargains and yeah you use some leftover stuff you have (I so like that) and you use less money to do a project. Use less money is the key for me.
Thanks for the nice compliment. I just love creating things from nothing and finding inexpensive alternatives – it is more fun that way. I got my mirror at Target in August. They were on an end cap on the aisle in the college dorm department. The Lowes that I go to has them for $5 also. They are sold in the mirror aisle near the lighting dept. I hope you can find one.
I have procrastinated……. meant to go to Lowes right after. And I have decided that my tiny cottage house might mean smaller and maybe three 12 x 12 mirror tiles (if affordable…. not much money at all)… since my inside door frames are only 36 wide. I am so hoping to do this Faux Transom on both sides of this one door…. the door to my bedroom. I so love what mirrors do to expand a room and make it luxurious for little money. I thank you so much for your great ideas and the good (very good) instructions and I also gave your site to some friends in Texas and Connecticut….. and who knows who else, cause both of these women are so smart and love to do cute stuff like you.
Love the mirror tiles! They really open up the room and are more interesting than just a large mirror.
When I saw the mirror I just loved it to. It is such a great scale and not very hard to make.
Thanks for that mirror link…I've been wondering where I could find some of those..I have several places just begging for a mirror and that looks great! Love your blog and can't wait to see what you have to share with us DIYers!
I LOVE those mirror tiles! It looks so chic!
And that picture of the road with the bright trees looks like the road up to my childhood home!
Autumn is my favorite time of year! I love that photo and can't wait to see what you have up your crafty sleeve. Those bike trails are great. When I met my husband he was living in Manayunk so it is a special part of the city for us.
Your bike ride sounds adventurous and a lot of fun. Wish we had trails like that around here.
We are lucky that the trails are so nice and maintained. We got all the way to the Art Muesum – 65 miles. I slept great that night. Now we we work our way north away from the city – a bit more scenic – perfect to see the fall foliage.
Thanks for featuring my mirror Diane! I love that map table too!
The fall foliage picture took my breath away, and I am a summer kind of gal but that picture is really beautiful.
The shot of the trees makes me BEG for fall!

BoSox Now Look to Win Again in Free Agency
Published on 13-Nov-2013 by Chips 10
MLB MLB Daily Review
Everything went right for the Boston Red Sox this season, and as good as they were all year, there's no question they were lucky, too.
That made it all the better for this Sox fan living in the New York metropolitan area. But can they remain as lucky over the winter and keep the players they need to make more World Series runs in the immediate future?
As great as David Ortiz was in the World Series, the Red Sox MVP for most of the year and all of the playoffs was closer Koji Uehara. He was scheduled as the setup man this season, but with injuries to Andrew Miller, Andrew Bailey, and Joel Hanrahan, he became the closer and compiled one of the greatest seasons a closer could have.
Yes, it was lucky, but once he got the job, Uehara ran with it and never looked back.
Mike Napoli was supposed to sign for three years, but an injury forced him to ink a one-year deal and play first base instead of catcher. Napoli was one of the reasons that Boston won the ALCS, and one of the catchers who may have not been on the team, David Ross, had one of the biggest hits for the BoSox in the World Series. Now Boston must sign Napoli again, and you can bet it won't be for one year.
Another newcomer, Jonny Gomes, also laced a monster hit for Boston in the Series. He was in that game because Shane Victorino was injured. Victorino, who powered a grand slam in the ALCS Game 6 to put the Red Sox in the World Series, came back just in time -- Game 6 of the Series -- to knock a bases loaded triple in the clinching game.
So the questions will continue. Karma mavens will say if David Ortiz doesn't hit his grand slam against Detroit, Boston goes home early. More practical questions surround Jacoby Ellsbury, Stephen Drew, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia, as they, along with Napoli, are four big free agents the Red Sox would like to retain.
Ellsbury may be too expensive, and Drew may be, too, even though he didn't hit in the playoffs. Saltalamacchia, a fan favorite, may price himself out of Boston, while Napoli says he wants to come back. Of the four, he would be the one who has the best odds to get his ring as a Red Sox next spring.
Baseball never seems to end. It was a great October for the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. Now, it's time to see if MLB Executive-of-the-Year Ben Cherington can win December and January, too.


One of Anuta Networks customers, Neustar, Inc. is a leader in authoritative identity resolution, helping clients grow and guard their business by connecting people, places and things with world-class solutions in marketing, risk, security, communications, and registry services. The company is trusted by the world's greatest brands to make critical decisions roughly 20 billion times a day.
Anuta ATOM is deployed in 26 data centers worldwide scrubbing 175 Gbps of attack traffic per day for 11,000 clients. The deployment automates best of breed network infrastructure from Arista, Citrix, Juniper, and Arbor Networks. Anuta ATOM helped deliver a client self-service portal for on-demand DDoS mitigation. The solution assures network services including BGP Flow Spec and GRE tunnel configurations in a multi-tenant infrastructure.
Listen to Mathew Wilson from Neustar, Inc. as he shares his real-world deployment of Anuta ATOM analytics and closed-loop automation software for their multi-vendor Data Centers. Network Collective hosts Jordan Martin and Eyvonne Sharp discuss the merits of a vendor-neutral automation and analytics platform that scales horizontally using microservices.
[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to this special edition of the network collective short take. Today's short take episode is being sponsored by Anuta networks. Anuta has a platform called ATOM which stands for assurance telemetry and orchestration for multi-vendor networks. But rather than coming on to tell you about the value of the system themselves they've invited one of their customers to tell you about their real-world experience using ATOM and how it has helped them improve network operations.
[00:00:40] So Matt, to get us started. Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and what Neustar does?
[00:00:48] Matt: Sure. My name is Matt Wilson. I am director of network engineering at Neustar kind of give you an idea of my background. I've been doing DDoS protection services for about 15 years now. I'm on my fourth different company building up the network and then kind of getting it set up from an operational perspective. So Neustar brought me in. Neustar is a company that helps to create, grow, guard and guide their businesses like tying together understanding and intelligence around people places and things. So we offer a number of different things in addition to DDoS protection services, things like marketing services, rest services, registry services. And my particular area is the digital performance and defense.
[00:01:36] Interviewer: Okay. So speaking specifically about the project that led you to ATOM what problems were you trying to solve that ATOM ends up being the solution for?.
[00:02:38] Interviewer: When you were looking at those did you consider any alternatives? I mean like who else was on the list that you were looking at?
[00:02:44] Matt: Yes we looked at a number of different ones. We primarily looked at either kind of a roll your own type of solution; whether that was using or building something from scratch or using something like ansible. We looked at that we also looked at kind of vendor specific solutions. In the end none of those really kind of seemed to fit the bill for a number of reasons. So first off we're not a huge dev work right. We don't have a whole lot of developers. That's not really our forte is building those kinds of platforms like that.
[00:03:20] Matt: And most of what existed were things that simply pushed configs they had no awareness of what was actually out in the network. So they were purely just automation type of tools which definitely have their place. They can be very valuable. But what we were really looking for was more orchestration. So we were looking for something that can be aware of what's in the network, identify whether or not changes need to be made and allow us to truly properly orchestrate and services that we deploy in our network.
Interviewer: That's a really interesting component. Because I think when we hear about orchestration systems I think we always hear about analytics, telemetry and orchestrations as different systems or different components but you're lumping them all together.
Interviewer: So what does Anuta do there? I mean what is it about, what analytics, what about that system that is driving that they combined. those stuffs?
[00:04:15] Matt: Yeah I mean one of the things I really liked about it was the fact that in the same platform I can tie together telemetry from the devices, I can tie together alerting from the devices, I can tie together SNMP from all of my devices and within the same system without having to do a lot of dev effort to create these business rules to tie all of these pieces together, which was basically when you looked at it, it was about as bad as basically just building the whole thing from scratch. So within the same system, I can take all this telemetry I can. It allows us to focus on our business rules right, the things that we want to do in the network when something happens. That's one of the big big benefits to us is that it allows us to focus on what's truly important to us without having to go off and build all the just what I would consider to block and tackle.
[00:05:12] Interviewer: That makes it's very cool.
[00:05:15] Female Speaker: Yeah yeah. And so you guys specialize and indeed often attacked data from the Internet. So scale we've already heard several terabytes of bandwidth. Can you talk a little bit about ATOM's ability to scale with the needs in your infrastructure?
[00:05:32] Matt: Yeah so that's one of the nice new things that ATOM platform does for our site protect NG which is what we call our DDoS protection service. It allows us to take all of this data and it can grow with us because it meshes well with our cloud initiatives of taking a lot of these things building it into our cloud platforms and doing that in cloud services. It allows us to scale that. It scales great horizontally so we were able to start small as we are deploying we could start small we could have at polling data from a specific number of devices and as we're growing, as we're adding more and as like it's; as we go from 14 and much much more. It allows for that platform to scale really well horizontally.
[00:06:23] Interviewer: So you mentioned a couple of very interesting things there. I want to expand on them for a second. You mentioned cloud platforms. So are we talking hybrid cloud here?
So is this you know on prem as well as out in public cloud offerings? So you can actually start if you have a well-established architecture that you know you kind of have what your hybrid cloud you're running. You're running a cloud platform within your own data centers you can start there. Really anything that's Kubernettes based this ATOM platform can run on. So whether you want to do it there, you want to do it in a Google cloud, you want to do it in AWS. You can pretty much deploy anywhere you want.
[00:07:06] Interviewer: The other thing you've mentioned I think you hinted at as well the fact that as Containers scales horizontally. So I mean is this like micro-services platform is that what it's like?
[00:07:16] Matt: Yeah that's exactly what it does. It is it's all based on microservices. So individual pieces can run active/active so you can scale it as much as your business requires. So obviously in the DDoS world and we've got customers that literally a couple of minutes of downtime can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue lost. So for us having something that this platform can manage our devices, manage our network and be completely available with full redundancy. Active, active, I can independently update things I don't have to take downtime for that because ATOM is micro-services based because it can be cloud-based or on-prem based. It really let us scale very well to meet our needs.
[00:08:05] Interviewer: That sounds really powerful. So what would you say are some of the best results? I mean we've talked about you know some of the technical features and some of the things that are of value but I mean to the business, what was the impact, what was the impact to your operations?
[00:08:18] Matt: Yes so one of the big things we're able to do is to start cutting down on just human error right. So by doing this by making everything kind of programmatic, we cut down on a fair amount of human error by doing that. One of the other things we did is just the simple amount of time it took to deploy customers to make changes in the network came down quite drastically. We were able to take things that, if people were doing it by hand it might be you know a good hour worth of work and we can cut it down to about five minutes.
Interviewer: And is that because you were templatizing configurations and that type of thing? Like what was, what would allow you to reduce that?
[00:08:58] Matt: Yeah that was basically we're able to do that because, before this, you either had to have a series of scripts and hit each individual device. And then you had them required the human to be the one that would sort of transitioning data from script to script and making sure double checking you know ensuring that everything went as exactly as you as you expected it to and hope that there weren't any errors and you had to roll back. Anuta has basically allowed us to do that all in one single atomic operation. Right. So through their API, through our service models we've written and so we put in the data, we can say execute go and it goes out and does it across all the different devices across regions. And then if there's ever a problem we can roll back atomically as well. So and I can do that even between execution. So because it's kind of a service-based; so I deploy a service, that service might involve something a customer and a handpiece because I can do that. I don't have to just rollback device configs. I'm rolling back a service execution.
[00:10:11]Interviewer: What about troubleshooting? Has it helped you reduce the meantime to recovery or anything like that?
[00:10:19] Matt: Yes. So what we've been able to do. One of the big focuses and this is kind of a never-ending effort is we're identifying things that are very common troubleshooting problems. So if I want to run say… if I want to go and run and execute something on all 14 devices at exactly the same time. I can do that and I can bring that data back and get a specific snapshot of time and bring that back. So now the operator can look at it they can identify what looks like maybe there's a problem and then go execute. And then the other thing we're focusing on is the information gathering, having a human look at it and make a decision about what might be a problem and then going in and executing a response right.
[00:11:06] Matt: So all the very common types of things. That's all stuff that we're building into the platform from a network operations perspective. And I talked before about doing it from more customers perspective, a provisioning perspective, from an operations perspective we're able to bring down some of our meantime the resolution quite a bit by doing this.
[00:11:28] Female Speaker: Very cool. And as you look at what you've done with the platform now, what's next, what are you planning to do with ATOM. that maybe you're not doing today?
[00:11:37] Matt: Yeah. So I think we're going to start tying it more into our… In our initial phase, we didn't tie it into our portal for like automated deployments yet. We wanted to give our operators a little more hands-on experience with it, make sure that we work out any kinks things like that. Meanwhile, you know it's kind of our next step is to really do much more integration there and to be honest this is a never-ending thing. The one thing I love about this platform is it can literally do anything you want it to do. If you have a device or a system or network that has an API or an CLI or any way in which you can log into that thing and an issue commands. Anuta can interact with it. So you know for us I mean that can be things like if you have a network performance monitoring platform that you use. Anuta can tie into that. So we can do some really interesting things like if a mitigation starts I want to go create a service check so that I can double check what the performance of our network is through the course of that mitigation. So we can get really creative with things like that.
[00:12:50] Interviewer: That's interesting. So I mean you're now in, you're using this tool. If you were to talk with someone who is you know starting today with deploying Anuta, what are some of the things you learned along the way? Maybe some of the lessons learned or tips or tricks for people who are getting started?
[00:13:06] Matt: Yeah so probably my biggest recommendation here is if you think this is going to be a plug and play type of vendor's solution it's not. But it's also not intended to be right. It is…I like it because it kind of bridges the gap between being a one size fits all plug and play sort of thing that may not get you all the features you want and all the capabilities you want. But at the same time, it's also not this late super ethereal thing. I can put it out there. I can get a lot of value out of it day one. But you can dream big with it right. You've got to think big with it. You can start small but really there's no end to what you can do to kind of go back to Yvonne's one of Yvonne's questions. The telemetry stuff to us is one of the things that we're really going to build out right. We're going to really expand on that. I think there's a huge amount of power for a lot of network operators there. The idea that I can get telemetry out of all my devices and I can automatically execute commands and multi-vendor commands in my network. You know based on things that are happening you have data that's coming out of my network is really really powerful. I think that's where we're going to go.
[00:14:27] Matt: I think that's definitely things that people ought to be looking at.
Interviewer: Sounds fantastic. Matt thanks for coming on to tell us about Anuta today. There was a lot of great information. If you're listening to this and you want to find out more about how Anuta could help you with network assurance and orchestration, you can head on over to anutanetworks.com/collective for lots of great information, White Papers, case studies and to even demo the platform for yourself.
[00:14:53] So thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.

On the eve of Human Rights Day, a crucifix bears the sign "Stop the killings" in Baclaran Church. This afternoon, rights advocates will cover the INRI sign with a cardboard that reads, "Wag tularan," depicting Jesus Christ as an EJK victim.
Putting aside the bad taste underlying the politicisation of the crucifix, it is also interesting to note that crucifixion was perfectly legal under the Roman Empire and was "an established form of execution in the Roman Empire long before Jesus's birth".
"In Republican Rome, 1st Century BC Rome, it is a standard and degrading form of punishment," says Beard, a classical historian at Cambridge University.
And, the "Roman emperor Constantine, a Christian, banned crucifixion in the 4th Century AD. More than 1,000 years later...".
Filipinos need to be a bit more critical in the way they evaluate the drivel fed to them by the "thought leaders" they revere. It does not take much to google reliable sources of information and check the facts involved. Facts matter after all.

RIP Alan Young, Wilbur on 'Mister Ed,' dead at 96 – CNN.com
May 21, 2016 Inga	Leave a comment
Alan Young played Wilbur Post or "Mister Ed's dad" as I always thought of him on the popular television comedy "Mister Ed," which ran from 1961 to '66. CNN just reported his death at age 96, of natural causes on Thursday at the Motion Picture & Television Home in Woodland Hills, California. Yea, that's really old for a man.
He was born in North Shields, Tyne-and-Wear, England, UK, named Angus Young and became a radio performer in Canada by the age of 13. He worked in many films in the US and even had his own show, The Alan Young Show before George Burns chose him for Mr. Ed because, as Burns put it, "he looks like the kind of guy a horse would talk to." He wrote a book called Mister Ed and Me and More that is available from a number of sellers on Amazon for an exorbitant amount of money but that might be a fun read if your library has it.
I really enjoyed the Mister Ed show as a kid largely because Mister Ed was never in danger like Lassie often was, Wilbur was usually the one who was in whatever comic-hot-water was immanent. Fun stuff.
RIP Angus Alan Young

Alley Cat Allies›Latest Cat News & Legislation›Our Work›Feral Friends Network›Tabitha Kucera Is on a Mission to Educate People About Trap-Neuter-Return
Tabitha Kucera Is on a Mission to Educate People About Trap-Neuter-Return
As a veterinary technician, Tabitha Kucera fielded many questions over the years about community cats and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) from clients at the Ohio clinic where she worked. Locals also reached out to Kucera on social media, where she had been advocating for TNR. Even many of her fellow veterinary professionals weren't familiar with the practice. She began to wonder if anyone in the Cleveland area had been educating people about TNR.
That's when this idea hit: "No one knows about TNR," she recalled thinking. "I'm just going to go lecture about it."
Tabitha Kucera and her cat, Chocolate Chip
With her boundless drive and enthusiasm, Kucera set out to expose myths and change attitudes. She spent hours and weekends creating a PowerPoint presentation based on Alley Cat Allies' and other groups' resources, booking rooms at local libraries, and handing out flyers to promote her talks. She also set up lectures for the veterinary community, inviting people she knew and reaching out to clinics.
Her mission to educate people and advocate for cats didn't stop there. Kucera became a member of Alley Cat Allies' Feral Friends Network to serve as a resource for people in her community. She attends city council meetings to explain to elected officials that TNR benefits the community. She talks with animal shelters about how TNR would reduce their intake of cats and save cats' lives.
"Most people are against the killing of cats. It's just getting the education out there, especially to veterinary professionals," she says. "Veterinary professionals tend to be the go-to [people] for animal education."
Kucera says she learned about TNR after she began working as a veterinary technician and became interested in how she could help outdoor cats. Her first TNR experience was about six years ago when she helped a friend trap an outdoor cat using Alley Cat Allies' resources. After that, she was hooked.
"I kind of got engulfed in it," she says. "Alley Cat Allies was one of the first resources I was exposed to."
Kucera also developed an interest in cat behavior while working as a veterinary technician. She began to realize that many clients at the veterinary clinic didn't understand their cats' behavior or body language. Too many cats didn't stay in their homes, or were euthanized, because behavioral and medical issues were misdiagnosed or misunderstood.
Now Kucera, a certified cat behavior consultant, has her own cat behavior consulting business, Chirrups and Chatter. She also attained Fear Free and Low Stress Handling certifications, which enable her to recognize and alleviate fear and anxiety in animals. She says her certifications have helped her to better understand her feline patients, which makes them more comfortable and calm and less fearful and stressed.
Her certification as a cat behavior consultant, and her eight years as a veterinary technician, give Kucera a unique perspective that helps to educate others.
"Learning how to do TNR is important," she says, "but it's also important to teach others how to break stereotypes."

Clips Not Attached During Sterilisation
If your sterilisation failed because the surgeon failed to apply the clips correctly, you could be entitled to claim compensation for the damage you have incurred. Contact a medical negligence solicitor to find out more.
How does a sterilisation work?
Female sterilisation is a permanent method of contraception that is very difficult to reverse. It involves a surgical procedure under general anaesthetic. Most women will be able to have keyhole surgery, although if there are complications or if a woman has previously had abdominal surgery, a mini-laparotomy may be required.
During a keyhole sterilisation, the surgeon will make a small cut near the belly button, through which a laparoscope in inserted. A laparoscope is a thin flexible tube with a camera and a light attached to the end. This relays images to a screen, allowing the surgeon to see inside the abdominal cavity.
Once the fallopian tubes have been accurately identified, a plastic or titanium clip will be clamped to each tube. Photographs should be taken to ensure the clips have been properly attached. This works to ensure the egg cannot travel from the ovary, down the fallopian tube and into the uterus, where it would be normally be fertilised by sperm.
Therefore in order for a sterilisation to be successful, the fallopian tubes must be fully occluded or the egg will still be able to reach the uterus. The surgeon must correctly identify the fallopian tubes and attach the clips properly, or a sterilisation will fail.
Failed sterilisation
Although female sterilisation is a routine procedure, there are times when it will fail. Sometimes this can be for entirely non-negligent reasons. For example, the tubes can naturally regrow over time, a process which is called recanalization. However, there are occasions when a sterilisation will fail because of surgical error.
If your sterilisation has failed because of surgical error, it is very likely that you are the innocent victim of medical negligence. Most commonly, a woman will fall pregnant after having had a sterilisation and will subsequently need to undergo another procedure. Often it is during this second operation that a problem is discovered, as no clips can be seen on one or both fallopian tubes. This might have occurred because the surgeon:-
Attached the clip to the wrong structure, such as a ligament;
Did not properly attach the clips to the fallopian tubes;
Did not take photographs to ensure the clips were attached.
Claiming for a failed sterilisation
If your sterilisation has failed because the clips were not properly attached by the surgeon, please get in touch with us today to discuss your options.

Dispersal zone to tackle anti-social behaviour in Hoylake and Meols
at 6:30pm
Police have introduced a dispersal zone in large parts of Hoylake and Meols this weekend in response to reports of anti-social behaviour and nuisance in the area.
It means anyone aged 10 or over who is misbehaving can be asked to leave for 48 hours – and if they return they could be arrested.
Police are also appealing to parents to take responsibility for their children and know where they are, particularly because of the coronavirus restrictions around households mixing and groups gathering.
Dispersal zone map
Community Policing Inspector Paul Harrison said: "Recently, we have been called to reports of youths gathering, cycling dangerously at traffic, running across the road and causing damage to vehicles, property and to play equipment in Queens Park. This behaviour causes distress and upset to those affected, and will simply not be tolerated.
"We're working closely with local councillors, businesses and residents on a daily basis to deal with these issues. However, I must also appeal directly to parents and guardians to keep taking responsibility for knowing the whereabouts of young people in their care. Do you know where they are and what they are doing? It's absolutely vital, especially with restrictions in place and rising Covid-19 case numbers, that large groups do not gather for any reason, and especially when it has an adverse impact on the lives of those locally. We all have a duty to protect each other, both from the pandemic, and from the harm caused by anti-social behaviour.
"This Dispersal Zone is not about bothering people going about their legitimate daily business, but an appropriate response to incidents and concerns raised in the community. It gives us the powers we need to deal effectively with people involved, and I would urge anyone in the area with any information about anti-social behaviour, nuisance or criminal activity in the area to make contact."
Anyone who wishes to report anti-social or criminal behaviour can contact 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, and call 999 in an emergency.

A serial offender was caught trying to smuggle drugs disguised as Maltesers into a prison near Uttoxeter.
Geno Ensor, 43, rolled the cannabis into little balls before placing them inside a Malteser bag.
He was then spotted trying to pass the 'chocolate' to an inmate in front of prison staff at HMP Dovegate, just outside Marchington.
Now the defendant – described as 'no stranger' to custody – has been handed a suspended prison sentence at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.
Prosecutor Brett Wilson said: "A prison worker saw Ensor with a prisoner and saw him open a packet of Maltesers taking out a ball. She then saw him do it a second time.
"He has a history of offending and was subject to a suspended sentence at the time."
The court heard the cannabis recovered weighed 14.3 grams with a prison value of £800.
Ensor pleaded guilty to taking prohibited items into a prison on the day of his trial.
Will Harrington, mitigating, said: "The defendant is in poor physical and mental health.
"There was some pressure on him he was taken to prison to commit the offence.
"He last worked two to three years ago as a fork lift truck driver.
"There are good features in his life, strong family ties; his mother is in court today.
"He is a committed relationship with a council tax enforcement officer who is of good character and he is in stable accommodation."
Judge David Fletcher sentenced Ensor, of College Road, Birmingham, to 10 months in prison suspended for 18 months.
He told the defendant: "You have an unenviable history of offending. You are 43 now and have been committing offences of various types over the years.
"You are no stranger to the prison system and how you thought that you would get away with it is inconceivable, especially the ham-fisted way that you have done it."
Ensor must also complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days and he was made the subject of a curfew order.

Take Me Out to . . . York, Pennsylvania
Photos by NEA staff
On April 8, Rocco traveled north for the Pennsylvania Governor's Art Awards, which were held at York's Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center. Among the evening's honorees were visual artist Jeff Koons, bluegrass musician Del McCoury, and arts advocate Caroline Nunan.
Rocco was also a winner earlier that day: After the Chairman's afternoon keynote address to the York arts community, Mayor C. Kim Bracey presented him with the Key to York, and a member of the York Revolution baseball team gave Rocco his own Revolution jersey. Rocco's host for this trip was Congressman Todd Russell Platts---who headed off to coach Little League at the conclusion of the afternoon event.

This Naomi or Ruth craft illustrates the moment that Oprah leaves and Ruth stays. The mechanism is simple but not recommended for very young children. Moving crafts are always fun and this little double hinge gives a lovely effect.
There are 2 pages to print for this project. The first is a background and the second is the workings. I'd strongly recommend printing on card, or backing onto thin card, for this project. You will also need a craft knife, scissors, glue and three split pins.
Cut out all the shapes, on the mechanism page and the slits on the background page. As a leader you may want to cut the slits out of the background before giving it to the children.
Use a hole punch and make holes over the five small black squares – the sixth is in the middle of the background so you will need to push a hole or use a craft knife.
Now comes the folding. The long thin mechanism parts have bits sticking out, these will be the sliders that go onto the 'tracks' and eventually make the characters move. Fold them where the lines cut them into smaller boxes. They should end up looking like the picture.
Start by putting the sliders into the tracks. The longer arm bit goes on top! Push the ends of the slider together, post through the slit and then open up flat, a bit like a split pin. Repeat with the other slider.
Now to assemble the mechanism. Turn to the back and take the central hinge, you can see the holes line up. You will need to work so the arms of the split pins face you.
Take 2 split pins and attach the two arms to the central hinge, then attach the central hinge piece to the background with a third split pin. This sounds much more complicated than it is to do.
To stop the mechanism floating about thread the two arms through the guiding slits at the side of the background.
Lastly grab the glue and attach the characters to the mechanism. Do this by first pulling the top arm of the mechanism then adding glue to the small sliders and placing the characters on top. Also add on the pentagons to the arms.
Go ahead and have a practice, you may find you need to loosen the split pins if the mechanism jams.
