WaPo, NYT ignore Biden admin. admitting error in promoting CRT group
The slogans of the Washington Post and New York Times that promise thorough reporting were broken Thursday when the left-leaning dailies avoided reporting about the Biden administration admitting it mistakenly promoted a critical race theory group in a public school handbook intended to give guidance in reopening schools from the COVID-19 lockdown.
With the Post's mantra that "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and the Times' being "All the News That's Fit to Print," both outlets hypocritically refused to inform their readership of another one of the administration's indiscretions – not to mention the Hunter Biden scandal, the extent of its failure at the border and its part in defunding the police … just to name a few.
Caught red-handed
Just hours after Fox News published its story exposing how the Department of Education's handbook promoted the Abolitionist Teaching Network – which calls for teachers to "disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression," through radical rhetoric aligned with critical race theory – the Biden administration announced that it was errant in promoting the radical group.
"The Department does not endorse the recommendations of this group – nor do they reflect our policy positions," a spokesperson from the administration told Fox News on Wednesday. "It was an error in a lengthy document to include this citation."
Neither the Post nor Times covered the Department of Education admitting its error – with both papers not immediately responding to Fox's requests for comment on the matter.
Recruiting teachers to become social justice activists
Under the guise of "anti-racism," the Abolitionist Teaching Network's material – including the guide that the Department of Education promoted – uses language associated with critical race theory without actually mentioning the controversial teaching.
"Abolitionist Teaching Network's mission is simple: develop and support educators to fight injustice within their schools and communities," ATN's COVID-19 handbook reads. "This guide builds from the premise that injustice manifests differently in different schools and communities."
It works on the premise that whites treat minorities deplorably and alludes to CRT teachings.
"Abolitionist Teachers believe that no Black, Brown, or Indigenous child is disposable – we must embody the spirit
of Black Lives Mattering – not just say Black Lives Matter," the guide continues. "This guide is an invitation for Abolitionist Teachers to individually and collectively generate critical reflection and action."
It calls teachers to fight so-called white systemic racism.
"Abolitionist Teachers will always center the injustices of their own school and community when taking action," the introduction argues. "There will always be risks associated with fighting injustices in our schools and communities, [and] this is why Abolitionist work requires solidarity from coconspirators. Abolitionist Teaching promotes justice, healing, joy, and liberation for all Black, Brown, and Indigenous folx – inclusive of all intersecting identities."
Politically correct racism and Marxism
Critics of critical race theory have long argued that it is not only geared to shame whites and tag them all as inherently racist, but to promote Marxism and bring harm to the Asian-American community.
One vocal opponent of CRT, author and independent journalist Helen Raleigh, has exposed Democrats and corporate media's collaborative endeavor to reinforce their shared agenda that divides Americans by race and incites racial tensions.
"They're only going to want to reinforce, you know, one type of ideology," Raleigh explained to Fox News. "New York Times is a great example, right?"
She called out the Times for promoting its "woke ideology" and for covering up any news that sheds the Biden administration in a negative light.
"The New York Times is basically run by young, woke-left activists who basically take orders from the tweeters," Raleigh added.
Netflix still a streaming giant but losing subscribers, too
The video streaming platform Netflix is making tons of money but is also bleeding subscribers, and the obvious question why comes easy for a watchdog group that has denounced the explicit content.


Building on previous Greater Manchester devolution deals, the government has agreed to give further freedom and flexibility to Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and the Mayor/Police and Crime Commissioner around criminal justice and offender management.
A joined-up justice system is vital if we are to be able drive forward improvements for the benefit of local people. We are committed to being forerunners in this area, pushing boundaries and testing innovative new approaches to working with offenders.
Justice devolution will strengthen the work Greater Manchester is already doing to deliver effective local justice and reduce offending. It will allow GMCA to drive forward important improvements by more closely integrating health, education and accommodation, with police, Crown Prosecution Service, the courts, prisons, and probation services.
The deal will see Greater Manchester, the Ministry of Justice, the HM Prison and Probation service, the Youth Justice Board and other partner agencies work together to agree what will be implemented by April 2017 and beyond.
A greater involvement in future plans for local courts, helping HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) find ways for making local justice more efficient and effective, for example through more innovative use of venues and the use of problem-solving courts.
Transformation of the youth justice system, with a particular focus on 'looked after children' and in alignment with Charlie Taylor's review of the youth justice system.
Better services for youth offenders, a more devolved youth justice system, and the creation of new models of secure schools for under-18s in the region.
Local integration of youth support and redesigned non-custodial youth justice funding arrangements.
More autonomy for prison governors, particularly around education provision within prisons.
Linking adult education and skills training provision in the community with education provision in prisons.
Exploring the potential for new opportunities to aid in the resettlement and rehabilitation of offenders.
Options to devolve custody budgets for female offenders, young offenders, and those sentenced to less than two years in prison.
A greater role in the commissioning of offender management services, alongside the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), to allow more local flexibility, innovation and better coordination with other local services including healthcare and accommodation.
Greater influence over probation and the Manchester division of the Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC).
Exploring the use of GPS and sobriety tagging to improve supervision of offenders and aid rehabilitation.
A stronger focus on rehabilitation, including more focus on prevention and harm reduction.
Co-ordination of health services to reduce reoffending, for example by making better use of mental health and substance misuse services.
Making more productive use of offender time and skills, getting offenders closer to the workplace.
Building on Greater Manchester criminal justice successes, such as reducing reoffending in women and the use of intensive community orders for 18-25 year-old men.
Greater flexibility over funding for victims of crime, including allowing Police and Crime Commissioner grant funding to be rolled forward to future years to help support transformation of services.
Improving the system for victims of crime through early intervention and prevention initiatives.
Chaired by the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Beverley Hughes, the Justice and Rehabilitation Executive Board has the support of central government and exists to provide leadership of the local justice system and oversee performance.
We will work together with all partner agencies involved to identify what needs to change and co-design a criminal justice system that is effective in reducing offending and harm to local people.
To help ensure a smooth planning and transition process, we will sign up to memorandums of understanding, important documents that set out how partner agencies will work together to achieve this transformation.
Your views are important in helping us to shape our understanding of what challenges we currently face and what opportunities exist to change and develop services across Greater Manchester. Please take the opportunity to complete this survey.

I hasten to add, Shetland in winter is usually the warmest place in the world... on the 60°N latitude.

Kenkichi Iwasawa attended elementary school in the town of his birth but went to Tokyo for his high school studies which were at the Musashi High School. In 1937 he entered Tokyo University where he was taught by Shokichi Shokichi Iyanaga and Zyoiti Suetuna . At this time Tokyo University had become a centre for the study of algebraic number theory as a result of Teiji Takagi 's remarkable contributions. Takagi had retired in 1936, the year before Iwasawa began his studies, but his students Iyanaga and Suetuna were bringing to the university many ideas which they had developed during studies with the leading experts in Europe.
... towards the end of the War, Tokyo and other Japanese cities were often bombarded and we had to find refuge in the countryside. Everyone was mobilised in one way or another for the War.
Clearly Iwasawa found this a most difficult period in which to try to complete work for his doctorate. However, despite the difficulties he succeeded brilliantly, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science in 1945. It was not without a high cost, however, for after being awarded his doctorate he became seriously ill with pleurisy and this prevented him returning to the University of Tokyo until April 1947.
For a glimpse of the research that Iwasawa undertook at this time we look briefly at the paper On some types of topological groups which he published in the Annals of Mathematics in 1949. Iwasawa's results are related to Hibert 's fifth problem which asks whether any locally Euclidean topological groups is necessarily a Lie group. In his 1949 paper Iwasawa gives what is now known as the 'Iwasawa decomposition' of a real semisimple Lie group. He gave many results concerning Lie groups, proving in particular that if a locally compact group G has a closed normal subgroup N such that N and G/N are Lie groups then G is a Lie group.
In 1950 Iwasawa was invited to give an address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He then received an invitation to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and he spent two years there from 1950 until 1952. Artin was at the Institute during Iwasawa's two years there and he was one of the main factors in changing the direction of Iwasawa's research to algebraic number theory. In 1952 Iwasawa published Theory of algebraic functions in Japanese. The book begins with an historical survey of the theory of algebraic functions of one variable, from analytical, algebraic geometrical, and algebro-arithmetical view points. Iwasawa then studies valuations, fields of algebraic functions giving definitions of prime divisors, ideles, valuation vectors and genus. A proof of the Riemann -Roch theorem is given, and the theory of Riemann surfaces and their topology is studied.
... a general method in arithmetical algebraic geometry, known today as Iwasawa theory, whose central goal is to seek analogues for algebraic varieties defined over number field of the techniques which have been so successfully applied to varieties defined over finite fields by H Hasse , A Weil , B Dwork, A Grothendieck , P Deligne , and others. ... The dominant theme of his work in number theory is his revolutionary idea that deep and previously inaccessible information about the arithmetic of a finite extension F of Q can be obtained by studying coarser questions about the arithmetic of certain infinite Galois towers of number fields lying above F.
By the time that I became his student, Professor Iwasawa had developed his ideas considerably. The theory had become richer, and at the same time, more mysterious. Even though only a few mathematicians had studied the theory thoroughly at that time, there was a general feeling that the theory was very promising. When I look back at the developments that have taken place in the last three decades, that promise has been fulfilled even beyond expectations.
It was the tradition at Princeton to have tea every afternoon in fine Hall. This provided one of the best opportunities for graduate students to informally discuss mathematics with their professors. Professor Iwasawa usually came to the afternoon teas. It was then that he often suggested problems for me to think about and every few weeks he would ask me if I had made any progress on some of these problems. I recall that these problems seemed quite hard, but sometimes I was able to report some real progress, and then we would go to his office so that he could hear what I had done. He would help me push some of my ideas forward, but it was quite clear that he wanted me to accomplish as much as I could on my own. I often had the feeling that he was purposely not revealing everything that he knew about a specific problem.
In the late 1960s Iwasawa made a conjecture for algebraic number fields which, in some sense, was the analogue of the relationship which Weil had found between the zeta function and the divisor class group of an algebraic function field. This conjecture became known as "the main conjecture on cyclotomic fields" and it remained one of the most outstanding conjectures in algebraic number theory until it was solved by Mazur and Wiles in 1984 using modular curves.
This carefully written monograph presents a self-contained and concise account of the modern formal group-theoretic approach to local class field theory.
Iwasawa was much honoured for his achievements. He received the Asahi Prize (1959), the Prize of the Academy of Japan (1962), the Cole Prize from the American Mathematical Society (1962), and the Fujiwara Prize (1979).
... today it is no exaggeration to say that Iwasawa's ideas have played a pivotal role in many of the finest achievements of modern arithmetical algebraic geometry on such questions as the conjecture of B Birch and H Swinnerton-Dyer on elliptic curve; the conjecture of B Birch, J Tate, and S Lichtenbaum on the orders of the K-groups of the rings of integers of number fields; and the work of A Wiles on the modularity of elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem .

Southern Lebanese await compensation to repair damaged homes
(Lucy Fielder/IRIN)
GHANDOURIEH
Four walls and a roof bristling with concrete pillars are all that remain of Faten Muslimani's house on the hill.
Israeli bombs flattened her old home, in the village of Ghandourieh, southern Lebanon, in last summer's war with Hezbollah's armed wing. Government compensation arrived with the spring, but covered only the foundations and shell. For now, work has stopped.
"The only ones in the village who can afford to finish their homes are the ones who can pay from their own pockets. We can't and we have no idea when the second payment will be," she says.
Those who lost homes in the war receive compensation in two parts to a maximum of US$40,000, or one if under $8,000. The Israeli bombardment destroyed or damaged nearly 120,000 homes and 862 schools in the south and southern suburbs of Beirut and demolished 91 bridges, the government said.
The Muslimanis are renting a flat nearby; they have furnished its unfinished rooms with the pieces they can afford - plastic chairs and a curtain to hang in place of the absent bedroom door.
Hezbollah paid the family of three a year's rent, which has just run out. "We're paying ourselves now, which is a lot for us. We're so tired and just waiting to get our lives back together again," Muslimani says.
Ghandourieh was one of southern Lebanon's worst-hit villages. Perched strategically above the Litani river, the village of 2,000 people was destroyed last summer for the second time - the Israeli army nearly razed the village in its 1978 invasion.
"There was barely a house left standing," said Khalid Hammoud, record-keeper in the village municipality and head of the local school. "The people of Ghandourieh are resilient."
This time, 70 dwellings were razed and about 100 severely damaged, he said. Villagers are rebuilding homes and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) repaired the school he heads. But with no computers or furniture, pupils study in a nearby town.

Inflation erodes compensation payments
"A major crisis we're facing is inflation in the price of materials, cement, sand and glass - they all went up because of demand," he said. "So compensation people were awarded has gone down in value." A payment that would have met 50 percent of rebuilding costs now covers 30 to 40 percent, he said.
A 10-month-old political split between the US and Saudi-backed government and a Hezbollah-led opposition has slowed compensation, locals believe, because, they say, the state is trying to undermine mass support for its armed guerrillas and "Islamic resistance" to Israel.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah accused the government of delaying compensation in a speech marking the 14 August one-year anniversary of the ceasefire. He said the state had received US$1 billion to help those harmed by the war. "This $1 billion is the right of the people and their rights must be given to them," he said in a televised address.
Hezbollah had paid for rents, furniture and repairs, and helped farmers, fishermen, businesses and transport workers, altogether to the tune of $381 million. Rent payments would be renewed, Nasrallah added.
"What Nasrallah said about us withholding aid is not true," said Roula Hammadeh of the government's Higher Relief Council agency. "Not all the money pledged for rebuilding was received. This is a political accusation." The government's spreadsheet showed it received $705 million from Arab states and $496 million from foreign donors in grants for reconstruction.

Swathes of the south and southern suburbs were destroyed
South Beirut
Complications have arisen in the southern suburbs of Beirut, where owners voluntarily transferred power of attorney and compensation to Hezbollah's Waad Project to facilitate rebuilding. Without the state payments, rebuilding is on hold.
Nasry Abdelnour of Khatib and Alami, a building company contracted by the government's Higher Relief Council, said legal pitfalls had beset the suburbs. "Many are slow to present necessary papers proving legal ownership because they did not register their apartments," he said. And there are often 30 owners in a block of flats. "That is why the southern suburbs are lagging behind."
Roula said the government had set up accounts in the names of all recipients and second installments for southerners were "on the way".
"Thank you, Iran"
Some countries assumed projects directly, rather than through the state. Qatar adopted some of the worst-hit border villages, Bint Jbeil Aita Shaab, Ainata and Khiam, and the UAE is rehabilitating schools. Iran has been one of the main rebuilders.
According to an Iranian source close to the mission, Iran took on 1,300 projects, including rebuilding mosques and churches, 13 bridges, roads and hospitals and creating parks throughout the south.
Signs in English and Arabic announcing "Thank you, Iran" are draped across gleaming buildings in many villages, amid clouds of dust and the din of construction.
We're surviving for now, but winter is cold here and I don't know how we'll cope.
Sitting on a bench beneath drying tobacco sheaves, a woman who gives her name only as Umm Hussein says she refused the government's compensation offer for her heavily damaged home, in the small town of Srifa, across the valley from Ghandourieh. Across the street, tents are visible on some roofs, above piles of rubble.
"Hezbollah gave us $1,000, my husband paid $5,000 from his own pocket and the government offered us just $670," she says. "It was an insult. The government is punishing us for being with the resistance."
Widow Khadija Malkani points to the bullet marks in her walls, the cracked ceilings, holes in the walls and the unsurfaced floor of her one-bedroom home. "We received $4,000 and finished one room with it," she says, and there was not enough to do the roof, which lets in water.
"We're surviving for now, but winter is cold here and I don't know how we'll cope," she said.

Today there are many ways in which local contractors can perform Guelph duct cleaning and local Cambridge duct cleaning work. One of the most popular methods is to employ steam cleaning. Not only is this much safer than using chemicals and other harsh contaminants in the Guelph duct cleaning work, it also allows the contractor to see areas of build up where steam is collected, and allows them to perform a deeper cleaning service in the duct system as well. So, it is safer for the homeowners, and anyone who is in the home, and this method used by top Cambridge duct cleaning companies is also more beneficial and effective when cleaning any sized duct system.
When hiring a company to perform this duct cleaning work, it is important to hire one that has a solid reputation locally. One that has the new steam cleaning equipment to perform the services, and a company which has the large, commercial grade equipment allowing them to do the steam cleaning either in a small home setting, or a larger commercial setting. With many local companies to hire, taking the time to find the most qualified, and those which have the right equipment, and sufficient manpower in place, are all relevant factors to consider prior to choosing a local company for cleaning work.
It is also important to hire a company that is fully licensed, one that is insured, and a company which requires their certified techs to continually go through training. By doing this, companies can guarantee their services are better than competitors, and can guarantee the results their customers want to see, when they do hire them to perform the duct cleaning work in a residential or in a commercial setting. And, when companies employ certified techs, which are going through the latest training and cleaning methods, you can be rest assured they are properly conducting the cleaning services you hire them for in your home or your business.
When choosing a contractor, most customers are going to look for affordability when hiring a duct cleaning professional. So, taking the time to compare local companies which are certified and fully licensed, those which are using the right equipment, and companies which are going to guarantee their work, allows you to compare quoted prices. In turn, customers are going to save on the cost of the duct cleaning work, and are going to find the most qualified local companies to provide the steam cleaning in their home or in a commercial setting.
There are many local companies which are using steam cleaning methods and equipment to clean duct systems in the home or in a commercial setting. If you are looking to hire these companies, take the time to compare several top service techs, in order to hire the best, most qualified, and most affordable companies. Not only will comparing companies let you compare their work quality, it also allows you to find companies using the latest methods in steam cleaning and duct cleaning services available to service contractors today.

Bookshelf: Gordon Murray - One Formula
A close collaboration between the legendary automotive designer Gordon Murray and award-winning author Philip Porter, One Formula is a newly published two-volume blockbuster that has taken more than two years to complete. Covering in detail every one of Murray's 70+ designs, including those he never built, the books are comprehensive, detailed, punchy and fascinating.
Apart from the design story – much of it in Murray's own words – the books are packed with illustrations from his extraordinary archives, including pages from his notebooks, original sketches, correspondence, drawings and behind-the-scenes photographs. These are supplemented by stunning period racing shots by many leading motoring photographers.
The range and breadth of Gordon Murray's automotive designs is unique. From World Championship-winning Formula 1 cars to his extraordinary flat-packed vehicle for Africa, from his pre-eminent McLaren F1 supercar to brilliant tiny city cars, from the first sports car he built himself to his revolutionary iStream manufacturing system, it is all in these two heavy and ultra-stylish volumes.
Cars featured in detail include his 35+ Formula One cars, the unique Brabham BT46B fan car, the Duckhams Ford Le Mans car built for Alain de Cadenet, the McLaren F1, the GTR versions, the McLaren MP4/4, the OX, the new TVR, the Rocket, and many more.
The most detailed story concerns the $1m F1 – arguably the greatest road car of all time – and how Murray was persuaded to prepare several for Le Mans, where they remarkably finished first, third, fourth and fifth.
Murray's versatility is revealed by his designs for the first pit lane trolley, Supertrac, RS200, the Batmobile, soapbox racers, the MinBug, the Toray Teewave and the Mercedes McLaren SLR.
The foreword is by Murray Walker who touches on Murray's wider interests outside motoring: 'He is very much a lover of rock music, ghastly shirts, fine wines and riding high-powered motorcycles – all of which makes him a top man for me.'

Take lessons from our personal experience of packing for moving abroad. Here are tips and list for packing for relocating to Toronto.
The chaos, on the day we were to take our flight to Canada, was unreal. It was completely in contrast to what we had imagined that day to be. Our bags and suitcases were just off the mark in terms of the required 23 kg weight. Several re-arrangements later, we realized we had forgotten to pack our baby's bottle sterilizer. Consequently, many items had to denied the visa for travelling with us! And to this day, we wonder how we left some of the items we thought were absolutely essential while we got so many things that we could have easily purchased from here.
This was after so much planning had gone in months before that day. Several lists were prepared, and shopping done in advance. With the kind of effort put in, we were certain we'd be relaxed on the last day.
So where did we go wrong? Firstly, we misinterpreted the weather for the month we were landing in. We had visa validity till March but chose to travel by October end or November because we knew January and February are extreme winter months in Canada. However, while preparing ourselves for the move, we were told it had already started snowing in October. Since we were travelling with a one-year-old, we panicked and started shopping for things like ready-to-eat breakfast options, soap & detergent, mustard oil (as home remedy if baby catches cold!), loads (and loads) of medicine etc. We got all of this stuff thinking it would be difficult for us to step out with the baby initially. Consequently, we were left entirely confused as to what all we must carry and what all is avoidable. And when we arrived here, we found out that the weather wasn't as bad as we were imagining it to be. It hadn't started snowing yet; there were only couple of isolated instances of what is known as flurry (lighter version of snow basically). We were easily able to go out with our daughter, after purchasing a stroller from Walmart here.
If I were to put all of the stuff we needn't have carried, we'd have at least one full suitcase of all the redundant items! We could have instead carried so many things which have emotional value to us, and we could have traveled much lighter.
We carried a small amount of cash in the form of Canadian Dollars while we got a decent amount via HDFC Travel Forex Card. I wasn't too happy with the bank's service in getting the card and later communicating with them for queries. But some of my friends have had a smooth experience with them. Read up reviews and take a call on which bank's travel card to buy. The card comes in handy in the initial days.
While you must have already been tipped about buying winter clothes from Canada itself, I'd recommend buying one jacket from Decathalon. (This is not a promotion tip; haven't got a penny from the brand for writing this!). We bought a jacket that's good enough for -15 degrees, for Abhinav, assuming he'd have to do all the running around as I would be inside with the baby. Although it's a funny neon-ish colour (it was a last-minute decision and no other color was available), it has been a savior. We bought a coat each from here, but our jackets from India have been working well with layering.
Indian summer clothes work well for indoors as all houses (even basements) are well heated.
Carry a comfortable pair of shoes for ease in travel and walking around here; later it's advisable to buy snow shoes from here itself.
We're glad we kept our swimming costumes too. If you plan to stay in a condo, you'd most probably have access to a heated swimming pool.
Carry basic utensils especially if you travelling with a kid. We carried 2 cookers, 2 pans, saucepans, 4 steel plates, bowls, glasses, and spoons. Now, all of these (yes, cooker too at prices almost at par with Indian prices) are easily available in stores nearby. Dollarama has a decent quality of spoons, glasses, containers, et al. I'd recommend keeping a few of the basic utensils, but if weight is an issue do not fret over having to take any of these out since they are easily available here. (Also, it depends on which part of Canada you're moving to. I can't say about other places but Brampton has a lot of Indian stores offering everything Indian you might be looking for).
Medicines (Disprin, D-cold, painkillers, volini, and such. Remember to keep allergy pills. An acquaintance spent a large sum of money for getting something as basic as Citrizen as she developed some allergy upon landing in Canada.) and small first-aid kit.
Basic toiletries, a pack or two of sanitary pads, sunscreen.
Food items: No need to carry lentils, spices, etc. You get these easily at Walmart or other grocery stores. There are dedicated 'Indian food' sections here. It is, however, a good idea to keep a few things for initial days for the time till you get your credit card here.
Sentimental Items: I carried some pictures of our parents and small items that remind us of home.
If you have a kid, pack in some of her favourite toys and items she is familiar with.
Baby stuff: clothes, shoes, sterilizer, bottles, formula milk, diapers, wipes, snacks, sanitizer, bibs, diaper bag, stroller.
Basic face wash and pack (if you are a facepack-freak like me! Although the store near our place has multani mitti (Fuller's earth) and other desi packs.
Refer to the image above for some handy packing tips. Check the weight of your bags according to your airline, at least a day before you're leaving. Keep the final day to just relax. I wish we had done that!
To be honest I hate moving so far away. But this post is a great guide for those who are planning to move to Canada.
Those are great tips before anyone embark on a moving journey. Congrats on your big transition. Hope all is well.
Congratulations on your move to Canada. Moving from a different country is always a challenge. As a Canadian I can say that Canada is a great country. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Congratulations for your trip. You shared such useful information and whoever is or will plan they can take benefits from your experience.
This is wonderful information for anyone about to embark on an international move. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
This is such an amazing list! I can only imagine how big of a move that would be!
Nice reading you packing tips. It surely will be useful for those moving to the Canadian lands from India.
I've never had an international move. I can't imagine the organization that is required to have a successful one! This is such a helpful post.
I know! It's exciting though.
Wow, that is so exciting and thank you for sharing this helpful checklist! Congratulations on your new home.
I think this is a fantastic list. I do agree with you about documents and how it's important to double check it.
I have moved countries twice, to different climates. And what I've learned is that everything can be replaced. Just take your personal electronics, a few clothes, documents, and you're done. No need to carry the entire house with you, everything you have you can rebuy at the destination.
That's so true, Joanna. Before moving, we were overwhelmed thinking how will we carry all the stuff we are so used to. But once you move,you realize there isn't much you really miss. Everything, as you said, is replaceable.
This is so helpful. I would share it to my friends, if in any case, they would migrate somewhere else.
Hey, welcome to Canada!! I hope you love it here as much I do 🙂 It's great that you've compiled this list to help people make the transition as smoothly as possible. It's a very different climate here, so it's good that you've included warm clothing options as a reminder for people (depending on the time of year they're moving). I hope you have a great time exploring this country. There's SO much to see and do here.
Thank you so much, Amy. Yes, we are loving it here!
This is great advice for a major permanent move like the one you did. Love how you described your experience and then included a pretty comprehensive list of practical items. Hopefully this will be a resource others will use who are following your trek.
Great tips! and I'm loving this series. I have friend who's planning to move to Canada too, will be really helpful to her. I've heard Brampton has a lot of North Indian things which I won't find in Mumbai also!
That sounds like quite the undertaking to move that far. I hate moving! So time consuming.
Congratulations on your new home. Thank you for sharing your moving checklist, definitely helpful for an international move.

Five nights at pass Freddy's, Dead Space 2 was crowned in horror games
fnaf3 – Hard to believe in an evaluation sheet for the game, but if there is a combination of many different evaluation boards of the fame game news site, why? Certainly worth of game that will let you ponder appearance. This is true with the game Dead Space 2. When the tester's comments launched intermingled fans with the impressive and admired, people have little doubt, however, that now has passed.
Specifically, Joystiq Dead Space 2 game praise that: Although not the original away from the horror, but the initial accursed Dead Space 2 has enough potential to become one of the games best horror action now in. In short, fans of horror games were found matching your stuff perfectly. 4/5 score that Joystiq dedicate simply because Dead Space was too successful to be able to make his brother fully achieve the maximum score.
Meanwhile Destructoid more generous when the game Dead Space 2 to 9.5 / 10 points with the highly appreciated line of graphical terms, environmental design and surroundings. Simply, Dead Space 2 is Dead Space has been edited in a way the most delicate and threatened people with impressive abilities as possible.
IGN info appreciated the replay value of the game Dead Space 2. IGN said that the gravity weapon can be upgraded to reach the most attractive levels that players can feel is the reason Whether it is due to complete the game, still want to play again. Add to that dozens of outfits (of course there are bonuses included) need to "unlock". So, we have one more reason to try to go to a certain screen in Dead Space 2 instead of pity farewell game because "nothing to do".
Link : http://fnaf310.weebly.com/blog/five-nights-at-pass-freddys-dead-space-2-was-crowned-in-horror-games
Edge (9/10 points) emphasis on the difficulty of Dead Space 2 and said that this has made the veteran fan of this series really impressed. Not only that, Visceral Games has been extremely successful in building control system / movement of comfortable game for players now continuing to do that with Dead Space 2. So, the difficulty of the game is very high but did not cause feeling disgruntled players as hard to control, but on the contrary, gives gamers the feeling like to be conquered again.
Dead Space 2 Gamersmint donated 4.5 / 5 points and indicates that factors makes Dead Space 2 or more compared to their predecessors is that Visceral Games had to know how to "expand" the game literally and figuratively. Literally it is because gaming environment with a diversity of monsters / enemies / costumes / weapons are extremely diverse, than those who came before him. And figuratively it was because the game was towards another aspect of horror game, expanding the notion familiar people still unfamiliar with Dead Space. Add to that the multiplayer section exciting and attracted well deserved as indisputable plus point of the game.
In summary, through what the celebrity news site reviews, can ensure that Dead Space 2 will not only grasp the title worth playing in 2011 but it is possible in the list of nominees for the best game this year.

Supporters can take advantage of a special hospitality offer if they book our popular pre-match service for the Accrington Stanley match on Saturday, 12 October.
If you book hospitality for this fixture, then there will be a £10 discount if you reserve a place for another game during 2013/14. Therefore, if you wish to book pre-match hospitality for Northampton this Saturday, or any other match this season, and you also make a booking for Accrington, then you will receive both for £40 (instead of £50).
Matchday hospitality options are also applicable to this offer. Matchday hospitality, which includes a ticket to the Paul Strank Stand or Nongshim Stand, will be priced at £35 for the Accrington game if you book another matchday hospitality ticket at the same time.


I own two Game Gears, and I'm showing them both on this page. I really regret not having one of these when it was a current system, as I became a big fan once I purchased my first used model off Ebay. Sega had this on the market at about the same time as the Atari Lynx and the original Game Boy, and while it fails in some of the same areas as the Lynx (short battery life, too much heft), I think it's a much more successful system overall and a worthy alternative to the Game Boy. If you wanted portability and low cost, the Game Boy was your system – if you wanted power at any price, the Game Gear was perfect in its day.
This is my second Game Gear, and it's pretty beat up – it's the one I use to actually play rather than keep sitting in a box. Yes, just like the similar pic on the Lynx page, this is pretty close to what playing games on this thing really looks like. (The moire effect is a camera artifact, but the color, brightness and contrast are pretty close.) Your eyes adjust to a certain extent, but not completely. One of the real problems is the screen's viewing angle – you need to hold the system at about a 30 degree angle away from your eyes (in other words, so the system is not straight) to see any picture at all. To their credit, Sega did include a brightness knob (unlike Atari), but it doesn't really help.
But what saves the system for me is just its internal hardware, which directly affects the quality of the games. There are just some great games on this system, including the one shown above – Puyo Puyo 2.
I need to get a Game Gear; I got my first Game Gear game last month (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, exactly like the one pictured, clamshell and all), and I'm itching to add the system to my collection, as well as more games.
Hi, I am a huge fan of the Sega Game Gear, I have owned one since it's launch in the UK in 1992. You can check out my Game Gear collection on my website http://dark-matter.110mb.com/ You have a great site and a great collection. Keep up the good work !

I am trying to use the Traditional Application Menu instead of the Backstage Application Menu. My XAML builds right (it is based off of the application manual example) and when I click on the Orb, it changes colors, but no menu is shown. So i recognized that the Width and Height in Auto mode is set to 0. So I changed it to 250 width and height and still no menu is visible.
This is using the latest version. Are you sure you're running the latest?
It seems I still have version 11.2.550.0 of the tools (based on the version number in the assemblies), so I am currently downloading the latest tool and I will try again.
Works fine after updating software!!


There will be no open gym or competitor class tomorrow.
Shantai did have the baby last night. Baby and Mom are doing great. More info to come soon. Thanks for all the texts and phone calls. We love you guys.

Q: Recovering an abelian category from the Ext of its simple objects Let $C$ be an abelian category, assume for simplicity that $C$ is enriched over $Vect_k$ (vector spaces over $k$) for some fixed field $k$.
Suppose also that $C$ is both Artinian and Noetherian, so that for any object $X$ there is a sequence of objects $0=X_0 \hookrightarrow \ldots \hookrightarrow X_n = X$ with $X_i/X_{i-1}$ simple. Finally suppose that $C$ has enough injective/projective objects so that $\operatorname{Ext}_C$ can be defined.
Given $C$, we build a new category $S$, enriched over graded $k$-vector spaces, in the following way:

*

*The objects of $S$ are the simple objects of $C$

*If $X,Y\in Ob(S)$ then $\operatorname {Hom}_S(X,Y) = \bigoplus_{n\geq0}\operatorname{Ext}^n_C(X,Y)$

*Compositions of morphisms are defined using the natural maps $\operatorname{Ext}^n_C(X,Y)\otimes \operatorname{Ext}^m_C(Y,Z)\to\operatorname{Ext}^{n+m}_C(X,Z)$
My question is: Can we recover $C$ from $S$ (say up to equivalence)?
Assuming the answer is "yes", I guess that there is an analogue for when $C$ is only enriched over $Ab$, maybe if we redefine $S$ so that $\operatorname{Hom}_S(X,Y)=\operatorname{Hom}_{D(C)}(X,Y)$ or something

A: Here's a counterexample that appears in nature.
Fix a prime $p$ and a field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and let
$G=C_{p^{n}}$ be a cyclic group of order $p^{n}$ (where $n\geq1$ if
$p$ is odd, and $n\geq2$ if $p=2$).
Then the category $\operatorname{mod}kG$ of finitely generated
$kG$-modules has only one simple module: the trivial module $k$.
As graded $k$-algebras
$$\operatorname{Ext}^{\ast}_{kG}(k,k)=H^{\ast}(G,k)\cong k[s,t]/(s^{2}),$$
with $s$ and $t$ in degree $1$ and $2$ respectively, independent of
$n$.
But $\operatorname{mod}kG$ determines $n$, as $p^n$ is the length of an
indecomposable projective module.
So, for example, $\operatorname{mod}\mathbb{F}_{2}C_{4}$ and
$\operatorname{mod}\mathbb{F}_{2}C_{8}$ are not equivalent, but have
the same $\operatorname{Ext}$-algebra.
Alternatively, this generalizes to looking at
$\operatorname{mod}k[x]/(x^{m})$ for any field $k$ and varying values
of $m\geq3$.
So a slightly smaller counterexample is
$\operatorname{mod}k[x]/(x^{3})$ and $\operatorname{mod}k[x]/(x^{4})$.

A: This will only be possible when the abelian category $C$ is "Koszul" or formal in some sense.
What will always be true is that the bounded derived category  $D^{b}(C)$  (with its $dg$ or stable infinity enhancement)  can be recovered from the full $dg$-subcateory $\mathcal S$ spanned by the simple objects concentrated in degree zero (and ${\rm RHom}$ between them).   In fact $$D^{b}(C) \simeq {\rm Fun}(\mathcal S^{\rm op}, D^{b}(k)),$$ where one direction of the equivalence is by taking $x \in C \mapsto {\rm RHom}(-,x)|_{\mathcal S}$.
To recover the abelian cateory $C$ from $S$, you will need $\mathcal S$ to be equivalent to $S$-- a formality property.  Further, you will need to identify the heart of $D^{b}(C)$ inside of $D^{b}({\rm Fun}(S,k))$.
A common situation where this is possible is when $C$ is the category of modules over a finite Koszul ring.

I'm just so excited about this class! Usually, I have only an hour to teach my business-focused Mighty Ugly class, but Embrace the Ugly: How to Break Through What's Holding You Back in Business is a full day. Online. For free during the live broadcast. You can participate from anywhere in the world! And if you can't make it for the broadcast on February 10th, or if you can't spend the whole day on the class, it's just $29 to gain on-demand access to it.
This is one of my favourite classes to teach, because people get so, so much out of it. The whole point of Embrace the Ugly is to gather your wits and take a long, deep look at the thing(s) inside your brain that hold you back. These aren't the business problems you already know how to address. These aren't even the issues that give you butterflies in your stomach when you think about them. No. These are the issues that, if you let them, keep you awake at night because you know in the depths of your mind and body that they make you not good enough to succeed.
Which means that this class will be uncomfortable. It will be hard. By which I mean it will be hard. And at the end of it, you will have a list of things to do to address that deep dark ugly thing. And you will be certain that you are not as alone as you think you are, because you will have heard from many people who also have deep dark ugly things that hold them back in their businesses. You will have shined some light on that darkness, and it will feel good.
Kim will teach you exercises that will keep you creative even as you struggle with balancing your books, promoting your work, managing social media, or whatever else holds you back.
Embrace the Ugly: How to Break Through What's Holding You Back in Business will empower you to confront the most personally challenging aspects of being a working creative. You'll surface the problems that are unique to you and learn universal skills you can use to embrace and, ultimately, overcome them.
RSVP for the class today, and CreativeLive will remind you about it!

I hope to see you in class next month!
This was the first year I wasn't involved at all with the planning of Vancouver Mini Maker Faire, and my experience at the event was pretty magical. I got to watch my son Owen, who's attended every year since he was six months old and is now three-and-a-half, finally really experience being wowed by all the amazing things to see and touch and make. I got to talk to makers, see friends, and make stuff, myself.

Toy maker shares the successes and challenges of trading in China
Bethany Whymark

@EDPBethany
Orchard Toys has enjoyed success in China and at home, where it has been working with members of Norfolk Industries for Disabled People/ Picture: ANTONY KELLY
While countries including the US are quibbling with China over trade, one Norfolk toy maker is having unprecedented success in Asia's biggest market.
Orchard Toys secured a deal with a Chinese distributor last year to start stocking some of its 140 products in the country and set out a three-year growth plan.
But just 12 months in, the Wymondham firm has already exceeded its targets. China is now its biggest export market, overtaking the previous title-holder Australia, and revenue from the country is well into six digits.
Managing director Simon Newbery said Orchard Toys had been trying to break into China "for a number of years" before it finally secured a distributor.
"We laid out a three-year success plan which was smashed in year one," he said.

"We are now in year two and a member of staff is going out to a toy fair in Shanghai next month and we are going to have a large stand there."
Trading in China has required few alterations to its games – translated instructions are included with each product but the British branding is retained.
Mr Newbery said the picture-led nature of the games meant most were well-suited for international sales. "Some markets are more sensitive to translation than others but with China it is the fact that they are British products that they absolutely buy in to."
He added: "Chinese consumers are very keen to have quality British toys, we have gone quickly from not being known at all to being well known out there.

"We said we could localise the products if the distributor wanted, but they wanted the authentic British product."
He said Chinese consumers even have a similar taste in games to those in the UK, with its top sellers broadly similar in both countries.
Orchard Toys' next target is the US – it already has a presence in the country and the team attended their first American trade show in New York last year, with plans to go again in 2019, but Mr Newbery feels the business has not yet reached its potential stateside.
The firm, which employs about 65 people, expects to make around 2.7 million products this year, up from two million in 2017.

All products are designed and packaged at its factory on Wymondham Business Park, with printing done by companies near its former home in the Midlands.
While selling in China has been a primarily positive experience for Orchard Toys, the company is facing problems with intellectual property (IP).
As rules around IP are more lax in China, the firm has had to confront several companies which have copied its products and designs.
While it is difficult to police IP misuse in individual stores, managing director Simon Newbery said the company has employed someone to find and tackle unauthorised uses of its IP by online retailers.
He said some Chinese companies "do not see a problem" in using others' IP.
"In the first year it was not so much of a focus for us but it will be in the second year," he said.
"It is an issue across the toy industry. China is trying to be better but they are lagging behind where we are.
"We have worked hard to build up a brand so we are not terribly keen to see other people making money off our efforts."
This year has also seen Orchard Toys start a partnership with Norfolk Industries for Disabled People.
The business, led by Independence Matters, offers jobs and volunteering opportunities for people who struggle in ordinary working environments such as those with learning difficulties or mental health problems.
Orchard Toys began outsourcing some of its packing work to the company in January.
Sharon Tooke, service manager at Norfolk Industries, says the work is now almost constant with up to six staff and volunteers packing some 5,000 Orchard products every week – adding 10% to the number of products packed by its in-house team.
Orchard Toys managing director Simon Newbery said: "There was a need on both sides and it has clicked into place. In terms of the quality that has come back, I don't think we have had any areas of complaint at all."

Bio-fermented tumeric I love it!
I love this product. I have been taking it a few months now, purchasing off Amazon. I have now decided to buy direct, and take advantage of the subscribe and save, and reward scheme, which as I am using one bottle every month is worth doing. I have a number of health issues, I have found this products helps my stomach, digestives issues and chronic pain. I am not saying that I am cured or even feel significantly better, but I have noticed a difference, enough differnce to carry on, which I believe is cumlative as well. What I have noticed is that if I don't take it, and maybe miss it on one or a few days, I feel worse for not taking it. So I take that as positive, that on some level it is helping. I also have difficulty swallowing tablets, so this liquid form is a great option. I personally prefer the berry taste to the pineapple, but obviously that is personal preference. I have been taking only 15mls a day, but now may consider increasing to more. I am very sensitive to products, and tried similar, and it didn't suit me, but this seems to work well so far. I would definitely recommend.
How do you take your DAILY TURMERIC?
FACT - Turmeric is notoriously difficult for our bodies to absorb!
Traditional Turmeric Capsules will add black pepper to enhance the bio-availability of turmeric (in simple terms -> black pepper helps your body absorb more turmeric).
But even with black pepper the body still has to do a lot of work to break down the Turmeric and make it available.
But Liquid Turmeric changes everything: Due to the fermentation process it's already soluble and ready to absorb the MOMENT you ingest it.
What makes our Liquid Turmeric so Great?
It's High Strength! One 15ml shot is equivalent to two standard capsules/ pills/tablets. Plus its delicious!
It contains 6 billion Multistrain Live Cultures: A single shot has 8 diverse strains of live cultures commonly found in a healthy digestive tract!
Digestive enzymes from Papaya extract: The extracted papaya digestive enzymes means the liquid also gives your digestion a large boost, helping your entire body function better.
It's got more than just Turmeric in it: Our enhanced combination formula contains Turmeric (900mg), Ginger (330mg), Black Pepper (300mg) and finally Papaya Extract (5400mg).
It's delicious: Seriously. Even though its 99% sugar-free the natural fruit flavour is Amazing! During our secret fermentation process, all the good bacteria convert the natural fruit sugars into lactic acid while preserving the rich fruit flavours. We only ask you don't drink the whole bottle in a single day.
What have others been saying about Bio-fermented Turmeric?
5 Things to know before taking Turmeric.
1. How much to take: The most common amount of turmeric recommended is 1 teaspoon full. This is what most health and nutrition experts advise and is also in line with the University of Maryland Medical Research Center's safe recommendation of 1-3g per day.
2. How often to take Turmeric: Curcumin the active compound in turmeric stays in your system for approximately 6-8 hours so it's important to split your daily dose throughout the day. Morning and evening work best.
3. Black pepper: Turmeric needs to be consumed with black pepper as it is not easily absorbed by your body. Curcumin is quickly metabolised and excreted by the liver before it has a chance to be absorbed and made available for your body to use. Piperine, a natural compound within black pepper helps to increase the absorption and bio-availability of curcumin by up to 2000%.
4. Consumed with Fat: The active compounds in turmeric are fat soluble so it's important that turmeric is taken with food. Fat soluble nutrients bind to fat before they can be absorbed through your digestive lining. Most meals are fine but taking turmeric with something very low in fat like a banana would not be effective.
5. Make sure your turmeric is high quality and pure: As turmeric has increased in popularity it is now in high demand and there are a lot of low-quality supplements that are not tested for purity and contain additives to speed up production.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced Honda is recalling a total of 1,521,107 MY-2005-2010 Honda Accord, 2007-2010-MY CR-V, and 2005-2008 Element vehicles due to an issue with the automatic transmissions in these vehicles. A broken outer race can cause the malfunction light to turn on, abnormal noise, and allow contact between the transmission idle gear and an electronic sensor housing in the transmission. This can result in a short circuit, which would cause the engine to stall. Also, broken pieces of the outer race or ball bearing can become lodged in the parking pawl. This can result in the vehicle rolling after the driver places the vehicle in park. The recall is expected to begin on August 31.
If your fleet operates any of the affected vehicles, make sure you contact the appropriate company promptly.

"In Italy, in the animation sector, there are but few companies of our size. For this reason, it has always been difficult to identify the right expertise for our needs. With HP and TT Tecnosistemi, we have been able to find the solution to many of our problems"
"Thanks to the extremely direct relationship with HP, we have been able to provide the client with specialised resources to address and resolve the issues that have arisen during the implementation phase of the project"
Founded in 1995, Rainbow is a content company that creates and produces animation content for children. With more than 300 employees and 11 companies, Rainbow today is the largest European studio dedicated to animated television shows and films.
In addition to the creation and production of cartoons, Rainbow also distributes and licenses cartoon characters through a comprehensive media platform.
The "Rainbow model" is based on high-quality Italian productions aimed towards an international market. Rainbow manages all projects and activities entirely and directly, from the concept to production, through to broadcasting and licensing.
Rainbow's headquarters in Loreto, in the Marche Region of Italy, is a 20,000 sqm facility designed to be the perfect environment for creative development.
The modern-design building is an integrated system of offices, workshops, a canteen, cafés, and leisure facilities including a fitness centre, a swimming pool and a 80-seat 3D movie theatre.
Experiencing great growth and with the availability of new multifunctional spaces, the company decided to make a leap on quality on the IT front, choosing and installing HP EVA storage systems, thus achieving a solution that can provide high performance and business continuity.
In 1995, Iginio Straffi, a creative professional with a strong entrepreneurial drive, returned to Italy after a period abroad and founded Rainbow, a new player in the multimedia content industry, enhanced by a group of colleagues and technologies that, by today's standards, would seem insufficient for even for a task as trivial as office automation.
"There were seven of us when we started," tells Sergio Polzinetti, now Rainbow's CIO, " with only four computers and without even a UPS. For many years, we continued thanks to tenacity and good will, always producing technologically-advanced content, but without a CED worthy of the name, or infrastructures to meet the goals we were setting. We always managed to reach these goals, despite everything, thanks to the passion and love for what we do. Just to give an example, for some time, we had been working with an NAS placed under the desk and a switch on my desk, so we could provide fast connection to the workstations, as the cabling at our old office was not very reliable."
Over the years, the company has become increasingly renowned, first on the Italian and then the international animation scene, becoming a market leader, thanks in large part toWinx and its characters loved by children all over the world.
In 2010, the company, which now had multiple offices in different countries, decided to treat itself to new, prestigious and technologically-advanced headquarters.
With the new space, and above all driven by the new demands of the market, the Rainbow managers decide to renew the IT platform, adapting it also to future animation needs, as well as the modern safety and business continuity measures that are essential today, when data and processes become some of the most precious assets.
"The underlying premise at our company is that the core business is not the financial nor accounting part of it, but the creativity," explains Polzinetti, "and we have to handle huge amounts of high-speed, high-definition data (high-definition graphics for video). We cannot lose a single frame, the distillate of our work".
Thus began, because of the specific nature of Rainbow's business, the search for an IT solution that would ensure maximum continuity and data protection. The company also needed a solution that would secure the high performance levels required to work in full HD, not to mention the necessary economic sustainability of the potential solution.
"We had a system that could guarantee continuity down to the level of minutes," Polzinetti shares, "and the security of not losing any completed work even in cases of disasters. We had to put this overhaul off several times, and in 2010 the opportunity finally came, thanks to the new offices".
In the initial phase, Rainbow implemented an EVA 4400 HP architecture solution, but had not yet created a real disaster recovery system. Next, together with TT Tecnosistemi and HP, a second important step was completed by acquiring the new P6500 storage and at the same time achieving a remarkable degree of business continuity and disaster recovery (implemented by deploying two different SANs in synchronous replication on as many sites at their Loreto complex).
"We looked into a range of alternatives," says Polzinetti, "and honestly, all of them seemed technically valid. In the end, however, we decided that HP was the most suitable for our needs, and that the relationship with TT Tecnosistemi was a perfect fit to our needs, being straightforward and highly professional".
This trust was well-founded, because HP and TT Tecnosistemi are a solid team that quickly managed to grasp the peculiarities of the animation industry and bring the know-how and international experience of HP required to successfully complete the project, alongside the two EVA storage units, including the HP Network Storage Gateway X3800. The project leveraged the functionality of software environments such as Data Protector and EVA Continuous Access, all in a virtualised environment.
Also thanks to these technologies, Rainbow is the only Italian production house that can produce movies in 3D.
The implementation phase of the new architecture has put the expertise of all players to the test, given the rather particular demands of animation-related activities. Yet, it was clear right from the start that there was a clear difference between the previous systems, and the satisfaction of the client was undeniable.
"There are psychological benefits," explains Polzinetti, "such as the certainty of never losing the completed work and the tranquillity of knowing that nothing or almost nothing will interrupt the process. There are also visible benefits in the day-to-day work, such as faster processing of data. To give you an idea, we are now able to create Full HD animations, having four times the resolution of an old movie in standard PAL, in a time-frame that is often even shorter than before.
If we consider that producing a simple cartoon requires months of work, it is easy to see what a leap in quality we have made with the new solution."
The future challenge, continuing on the road of technological innovation, is called 4K, and is the new video standard that will most likely replace Full HD.
"We will have to review our architecture again", concludes Polzinetti, "probably requiring a quadrupling of the current speed and quadruple the disk storage capacity , which now amounts to about 500 TB. Given the great trust relationship established with TT Tecnosistemi, which is always by our side in day-to-day operations, and the flexibility demonstrated by HP solutions, I cannot see any reasons for changing partners".
Rainbow has chosen various SLAs for the technical support of its hardware subsystems, from the "next business day" of networking to the "four hours" for the main storage.

You can now watch a trailer of The Wound, a South African film that aims to challenge narrow depictions of African masculinity. The film, which will premiere at Sundance Film Festival (January 19 to 29) in Utah, USA, stars soul singer Nakhane Touré and actor Bongile Mantsai, winner of a 2011 Fleur Du Cap award for best supporting actor in the play Woyzeck.
On the trailer of The Wound, we see Kwanda, a gay young man played by Bongile, struggling to say "Ndiyindoda" – "I'm a man" with accepted conviction, resulting in him being labelled soft. Xolani, played by Nakhane, becomes close to Kwanda. Kwanda figures out that he's also gay. "I can see what you are. But you can't admit it," he tells him on one scene.
Nakhane Touré shares his 5 favourite albums of all time
How I became Solomon Mahlangu
The Wound is directed by the Joburg-based filmmaker John Trengrove, who also directed the movie Ibhokwe, which also revolves around initiation. The script was co-written by Thando Mgqolozana (author of the book A Man Who Is Not A Man) and Malusi Bengu.

Wizards Storage Portal was upgraded on October 7. The upgrade to version 3.22 was the first step towards deeper insights regarding VMware guests and preparations for the coming versions of TSM and the Storwize family products.
TSM4VE is now more visible The new version of TSM for Virtual Environments has become a powerful and well accepted solution for backing up VMware guests. With this upgrade, we have included a couple of new reports, that makes TSM4VE content more visible.
The Configuration Overview now has a direct link to all your VE Guests.
This gives a complete overview of all you TSM4VE guest servers, their datamovers, datacenter and when the latest backup was performed. We will of course add a detail view of your VE Guest in one of the coming upgrade. More about that later!!
We have chosen to look for filespaces in the domain named "VMWARE", where the Nodename ends with "VM" and where the latest backup was between 24 and 72 hours ago.
Alerts about missing backup, can of course be sent as email or SMS/text messages.
It was time to give the Occupancy History graph a serious overhaul.
As you can see from the example below, the history occupancy graph is now heavily configurable.
You may filter on nodenames, Filespace datatype, domain, storagepool names and even storagepool types. BUT the feature we all have been waiting for, was the ability to see Logical, Physical and REPORTING values side by side.
You may also notice, that the Occupancy Graph found under Node Details now performance a LOT faster than before.
IBM has started a beta-program for TSM 7.1 and we are of course part of that. Apart from building support for this new TSM Server version, we will continue to expand the TSM4VE reporting capabilities.
A new version of the TSM Agent is also close by. Remember to configure Auto-update in the Wizards Control Center(described in the vers. 3.21 changelog).
Many of the changes this time is under the hood. The beta-program for SVC 7.2 is in progress. And we are building support for the new hardware configurations that may appear in the future.
One of our US customers discovered a time-zone issue in our performance Widgets. The result was a graph that was only partly shown. This has now been fixed. But we still struggle with ideas about how to format combined graphs where the SVC clusters are in different timezones. Input is very welcome.
The Error log report has been extended with new filters. It's now possible to search for both Node Names and Conditions.
Support for firmware 7.2 is priority right now. We will also introduce a new way of managing estimated performance values. It will be a kind of "Bulk-update" feature. Furthermore, capacity reporting and monitoring will be extended, giving better warnings about pinned capacity in relation to thin-provisioning.
We have received a couple of tickets regarding issues with our loader in relation to IE. Particularly TSM related pages had problems with certain versions of IE. We do what we can to test our code on various browser versions, and if you use the recent versions of IE, Firefox or Chrome you should not see any stability issues.
Over the coming months, we will gradually phase out the use of adobe Flash and replace our graphs with html5 versions instead.
