Yesterday, VMware announced vSphere 4 - the successor to VI 3.5, and its association with vCloud - a relatively new initiative to provide local, private cloud computing environments in combination with third-party external cloud providers in an effort to provide high availability and remote access to cloud computing environments.
I Twittered (tweeted?) about the launch event while watching it via the web (watch the archive here), but you can't do much in 140 character bursts. The overall message that VMware is trying to convey is that with vSphere 4 there no reason that you cannot virtualize any of your servers/applications. Between vendor representatives and live demos, VMware showed that vSphere 4 is considerably more capable and more efficient with power, storage, and resources than its predecessors. That's mostly words for now, but I'm sure when it's released (Q2 2009, so very soon) there will be plenty of benchmarks and comparisons to look at.
Add to that vCloud--VMware's initiative to create a standardized cloud computing platform that enables enterprises to build their own, private cloud that can also be replicated to a live off-site cloud computing (SaaS) provider--and you've got yourself what looks to be a next-gen datacenter. Actually, this software, combined with the hardware that Cisco is now selling as part of its Unified Computing System, touches nearly all the bases. The only gaping hole I see is storage, but I'm sure VMware can put you in touch with EMC :) With that in place, you can run a number of OS's with whatever application delivery mechanism you like (web, SBC, VDI, traditional), all the while having your entire data center existing virtually in an off-site cloud.
Cool technology aside, for me the biggest takeaway as it relates to our niche and the things we talk about on this site is that there was very little talk about VDI or DaaS. That's not an accident - I really feel like this doesn't have a lot to do with VDI. In fact, this falls in a level below VDI or SBC or any other application delivery method. This is about data center virtualization, not application or desktop virtualization. VMware CEO Paul Maritz did mention that VMware View is the plumbing to connect users to the applications in the cloud, but that only serves to confirm that vSphere is not a VDI platform - it's a data center platform. In some ways, it's almost better to just think of vSphere as hardware--hardware that you can use to support whatever application delivery/VDI solution you want to use.
$3495 per processor! Holy frijoles! Admittedly, I'm not sure what a high end VI 3.5 license costs, but I do know that price means that a commodity, dual proc quad core box that runs what...$4k...will cost upwards of $11k by the time you add vSphere to it. Still, the same economies of scale apply - you can run, say, 10 (or whatever) servers on that one box, saving you $29k in hardware and a considerable amount on operational costs. The numbers work just fine in the end, but still...sticker shock!
There was no word on the pricing for the vCloud SaaS stuff, but that's probably quite a bit more complex. If anyone has had any dealings with this kind of situation and can share any thoughts about the process, feel free to do so in the comments.
Those "tweener" companies (as in be"tween" SMB and Enterprise) will stand to benefit from the SMB offerings. For some, the free ESXi and/or VMware Server work just fine, but there is a gray area that the vSphere SMB solutions should fill. If that can also be combined with vCloud for offsite federation of virtualized servers, I think that's a winner. SMB's typically aren't the best at keeping and maintaining backups (as well as extra hardware), so being able to have a hot-site-in-a-box would be extremely helpful.
Even though someone from VMware was probably not following my Twitter feed during the event, I'm going to choose to believe that someone read my tweet that said "I swear I see a rack full of Sun servers there. Someone should put an Oracle sticker on it," because about an hour later that's exactly what happened - a piece of paper with the word "Oracle" on it was stuck over top of the Sun logo.
The best line from this event came from John Chambers, CEO of Cisco. When talking about the relationship between VMware and Cisco, he said "really good execution will always beat good innovation," which is very close one of my all time favorite quotes by Steve Case, former AOL CEO & Chairmain: "In the end, a vision without the ability to execute is probably an hallucination."
I really enjoyed this from a presentation standpoint. Having been involved with the production side of events like this, I thought it was well done. Even the live demos went well (assuming they weren't pre-recorded :). There was still a fair share of marketing/gladhanding, but hey, it would've felt weird without it. So, to whoever put it together - nice job.
I know where you're coming from, but I disagree slightly that "this doesn't have a lot to do with VDI". That's only really true if you're focusing your idea of VDI on the user/client side. This is,as you say, about the next generation of the 'engine' that makes VDI possible, and some of the stuff they're introducing around faliover and storage VMotion are potentially huge for the mission critical VDI services we will have to deliver in the future.
VMware has been pretty hush-hush about their next release of VMware View. I imagine they will release updates to the connection manager and Composer so it can install into vSphere. It has been hard to find clues as to what new features View will end up with.
VMware has always been an excellent product, price aside. Price aside of course becomes more and more important with the release of all the free virtualization platforms on the market today. As a reseller of both VMware, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V I am very lucky in being able to be vendor agnostic. When VMware is the right fit, that is a customer that uses the features, VMware is a slam dunk. They are still out in front of all the competition on the features front. To my knowledge they are also the only vendor with a DISA STIG for government and defense installations. Where they become challenged in my book is the customers who do not need all the bells and whistles. Like Gabe says above, $3495 per processor is pricey. (VI 3.5 was roughly $5300 per dual-processor system.) All other levels appear to stay the same price wise, with an increase in features ala Citrix Feature Pack. Long story short from the above ramblings, I don't believe anything has changed drastically. Where the features are needed, VMware is the only game in town and will do a killer job. When all the features aren't needed, there are a host of free hypervisors in the marketplace that can do everything needed for a fraction (as small as free) of the cost.
vmware is the best virtual server for small costand make big job,good post..
I would say VMware is goo for visualization but prefer virtual box. there are many reasons i will be long list if i start explaining each of them here.


Well, the year is almost up and the New Year is beginning in a few days.
Are you all ready for the new year?
Have you had your big cleaning or are you going to do that this weekend?
At school, most of the clubs have finished all of their big cleanings.
Have you finished your New Year's postcards? I am running a little late with this myself.
Speaking of postcards, do you know what zodiac year it is next year?
What animal is it next year? Do you know the animals names in English? Could you describe the zodiac in English? For example, what are the characteristics, or the personality traits, of someone who is born in the year of the boar?
Not everyone believes in the zodiacs and the different kinds of astrology but it is useful to know all the words related to it. If you have some time, I recommend learning some of the words related to the zodiac.
This week we had our last Xmas party at Zebra 英会話教室. For all of our Zebra English Club students and families, thank you for joining us at the parties.
Also, our junior high school went on a special trip to a new facility called Tokyo Global Gateway.
This facility is a place for students to test their English in life-like settings and while trying entertaining activities. It is separated into primarily attraction areas and immersion areas. It is a little like Kidzania but all in English and with everything designed for all ages.
One of the main ideas at TGG is for students to get actual chances to use English. We encourage this a lot at our school and this is a great facility to add into our program.
If you get a chance to go, please do. It's a great experience.
Today the international group from Seiritsu went on an excursion to Odaiba. We were all surprised at how many foreign visitors are here. And everything in this area has good support, including English and Chinese (and other languages too!).


WELLINGTON -- Michelle Goll got the start for Lutheran West Longhorns . She allowed 13 hits and 16 runs over two innings, striking out one. Gia Rzeczycki threw two innings in relief. Groppe led Lutheran West Longhorns with one hit in two at bats.

Letter III. To Bassula, His Mother-In-Law.
How St. Martin passed from this Life to Life Eternal.
Sulpitius Severus to Bassula, his venerable parent, sendeth greeting.
If it were lawful that parents should be summoned to court by their children, clearly I might drag you with a righteous thong6464 Instead of "justo loro," Halm reads, "justo delore," i.e. "with just resentment." before the tribunal of the prætor, on a charge of robbery and plunder. For why should I not complain of the injury which I have suffered at your hands? You have left me no little bit of writing at home, no book, not even a letter—to such a degree do you play the thief with all such things and publish them to the world. If I write anything in familiar style to a friend; if, as I amuse myself I dictate anything with the wish at the same time that it should be kept private, all such things seem to reach you almost before they have been written or spoken. Surely you have my secretaries6565 "notarios": shorthand writers, who wrote from dictation. in your6666 Halm here reads "obarratos," with what sense I know not: the reading "obæratos," followed in the text seems to yield a very good meaning. debt, since through them any trifles I compose are made known to you. And yet I cannot be moved with anger against them if they really obey you, and have invaded my rights under the special influence of your generosity to them, and ever bear in mind that they belong to you rather than to me. Yes, thou alone art the culprit—thou alone art to blame—inasmuch as you both lay your snares for me, and cajole them with your trickery, so that without making any6767 The reading "sine dilectu ullo," adopted by Halm, seems preferable to the old reading, "sine delicto ullo." selection, pieces written familiarly, or let out of hand without care, are sent to thee quite unelaborated and unpolished. For, to say nothing about other writings, I beg to ask how that letter could reach you so speedily, which I recently wrote to Aurelius the Deacon. For, 22as I was situated at Toulouse,6868 The identity of Tolosa, mentioned in the text with the modern Toulouse, is uncertain. while you were dwelling at Treves, and were so far distant from your native land, owing to the anxiety felt on account of your son, what opportunity, I should like to know, did you avail yourself of, to get hold of that familiar6969 Of course, this is all jocular, and shows the best relations as existing between Sulpitius and his mother-in-law. epistle? For I have received your letter in which you write that I ought in the same epistle in which I made mention of the death of our master, Martin, to have described the manner in which that saintly man left this world. As if, indeed, I had either given forth that epistle with the view of its being read by any other except him to whom it purported to be sent; or as if I were fated to undertake so great a work as that all things which should be known respecting Martin are to be made public through me particularly as the writer. Therefore, if you desire to learn anything concerning the end of the saintly bishop, you should direct your enquiries rather to those who were present when his death occurred. I for my part have resolved to write nothing to you lest you publish me7070 There is clearly some affectation in the horror which Sulpitius expresses in this and other passages at the thought of his writings being published. It is obvious that he derived gratification from the fact of their being widely read. everywhere. Nevertheless if you pledge your word that you will read to no one what I send you, I shall satisfy your desire in a few words. Accordingly I shall communicate7171 "præstabo his participem": the construction is peculiar, but the meaning is obvious. to you the following particulars which are comprised within my own knowledge.
I have to state, then, that Martin was aware of the period of his own death long before it occurred, and told the brethren that his departure from the body was at hand. In the meantime, a reason sprang up which led him to visit the church at Condate.7272 There were several towns of this name in Gaul. The one probably here referred to was on the road from Augustodunum (Autun) to Paris. It corresponds to the modern Cosne, at the junction of the stream Nonain with the river Loire. For, as the clerics of that church were at variance among themselves, Martin, wishing to restore peace, although he well knew that the end of his own days was at hand, yet he did not shrink from undertaking the journey, with such an object in view. He did, in fact, think that this would be an excellent crown to set upon his virtues, if he should leave behind him peace restored to a church. Thus, then, having set out with that very numerous and holy crowd of disciples who usually accompanied him, he perceives in a river a number of water-fowl busy in capturing fishes, and notices that a voracious appetite was urging them on to frequent seizures of their prey. "This," exclaimed he, "is a picture of how the demons act: they lie in wait for the unwary and capture them before they know it: they devour their victims when taken, and they can never be satisfied with what they have devoured." Then Martin, with a miraculous7373 "potenti virtute verborum": Halm reads simply "potenti verbo." power in his words, commands the birds to leave the pool in which they were swimming, and to betake themselves to dry and desert regions; using with respect to those birds that very same authority with which he had been accustomed to put demons to flight. Accordingly, gathering themselves together, all those birds formed a single body, and leaving the river, they made for the mountains and woods, to no small wonder of many who perceived such power in Martin that he could even rule the birds. Having then delayed some time in that village or church to which he had gone, and peace having been restored among the clerics, when he was now meditating a return to his monastery, he began suddenly to fail in bodily strength, and, assembling the brethren, he told them that he was on the point of dissolution. Then indeed, sorrow and grief took possession of all, and there was but one voice of them lamenting, and saying: "Why, dear father, will you leave us? Or to whom can you commit us in our desolation? Fierce wolves will speedily attack thy flock, and who, when the shepherd has been smitten, will save us7474 A singular and obviously corrupt reading is "quis eos a morsibus nostris prohibebit?" Halm's reading has been followed in the text. from their bites? We know, indeed, that you desire to be with Christ; but thy reward above is safe, and will not be diminished by being delayed; rather have pity upon us, whom you are leaving desolate." Then Martin, affected by these lamentations, as he was always, in truth, full7575 Lit. "as he always flowed with bowels of mercy in the Lord." of compassion, is said to have burst into tears; and, turning to the Lord, he replied to those weeping round him only in the following words, "O Lord, if I am still necessary to thy people, I do not shrink from toil: thy will be done." Thus hovering as he did between7676 "spes" seems here to mean "longing of heart." desire and love, he almost doubted which he preferred; for he neither wished to leave us, nor to be longer separated from Christ. However, he placed no weight upon his own wishes, nor reserved anything to his own will, but committed himself wholly to the will and power of the Lord. Do you not think you hear him speaking in the following few words which I repeat? "Terrible, indeed, Lord, is the struggle of bodily warfare, and surely it is now enough that I have continued the fight till now; but, if thou dost command me still to persevere in the same toil for the defense7777 "pro castris tuorum." of thy flock, I do not refuse, nor do I plead against such an appointment 23 my declining years. Wholly given to thee, I will fulfill whatever duties thou dost assign me, and I will serve under thy standard as long as thou shalt prescribe. Yea, although release is sweet to an old man after lengthened toil, yet my mind is a conqueror over my years, and I have no desire7878 Or "I am not one to yield," nescius cedere. to yield to old age. But if now thou art merciful to my many years, good, O Lord, is thy will to me; and thou thyself wilt guard over those for whose safety I fear." O man, whom no language can describe, unconquered by toil, and unconquerable even by death, who didst show no personal preference for either alternative, and who didst neither fear to die nor refuse to live! Accordingly, though he was for some days under the influence of a strong fever, he nevertheless did not abandon the work of God. Continuing in supplications and watchings through whole nights, he compelled his worn-out limbs to do service to his spirit as he lay on his glorious7979 "nobili illo strato suo"; nobilis in one sense, though so humble in another. couch upon sackcloth and ashes. And when his disciples begged of him that at least he should allow some common straw to be placed beneath him, he replied: "It is not fitting that a Christian should die except among ashes; and I have sinned if I leave you a different example." However, with his hands and eyes steadfastly directed towards heaven, he never released his unconquerable spirit from prayer. And on being asked by the presbyters who had then gathered round him, to relieve his body a little by a change of side, he exclaimed: "Allow me, dear brother, to fix my looks rather on heaven than on earth, so that my spirit which is just about to depart on its own journey may be directed towards the Lord." Having spoken these words, he saw the devil standing close at hand, and exclaimed: "Why do you stand here, thou bloody monster? Thou shalt find nothing in me, thou deadly one: Abraham's bosom is about to receive me."
As he uttered these words, his spirit fled; and those who were there present have testified to us that they saw his face as if it had been the face8080 There is a great variety of readings here; Halm has been followed in the text. of an angel. His limbs too appeared white as snow, so that people exclaimed, "Who would ever believe that man to be clothed in sackcloth, or who would imagine that he was enveloped with ashes?" For even then he presented such an appearance, as if he had been manifested in the glory of the future resurrection, and with the nature of a body which had been changed. But it is hardly credible what a multitude of human beings assembled at the performance of his funeral rites: the whole city poured forth to meet his body; all the inhabitants of the district and villages, along with many also from the neighboring cities, attended. O how great was the grief of all! how deep the lamentations in particular of the sorrowing monks! They are said to have assembled on that day almost to the number of two thousand,—a special glory of Martin,—through his example so numerous plants had sprung up for the service of the Lord. Undoubtedly the shepherd was then driving his own flocks before him—the pale crowds of that saintly multitude—bands arrayed in cloaks, either old men whose life-labor was finished, or young soldiers who had just taken the oath of allegiance to Christ. Then, too, there was the choir of virgins, abstaining out of modesty from weeping; and with what holy joy did they conceal the fact of their affliction! No doubt faith would prevent the shedding of tears, yet affection forced out groans. For there was as sacred an exultation over the glory to which he had attained, as there was a pious sorrow on account of his death. One would have been inclined to pardon those who wept, as well as to congratulate those who rejoiced, while each single person preferred that he himself should grieve, but that another should rejoice. Thus then this multitude, singing hymns of heaven, attended the body of the sainted man onwards to the place of sepulture. Let there be compared with this spectacle, I will not say the worldly8181 Or, "the pomp of a worldly funeral." pomp of a funeral, but even of a triumph; and what can be reckoned similar to the obsequies of Martin? Let your worldly great men lead before their chariots captives with their hands bound behind their backs. Those accompanied the body of Martin who, under his guidance, had overcome the world. Let madness honor these earthly warriors with the united praises of nations. Martin is praised with the divine psalms, Martin is honored in heavenly hymns. Those worldly men, after their triumphs here are over, shall be thrust into cruel Tartarus, while Martin is joyfully received into the bosom of Abraham. Martin, poor and insignificant on earth, has a rich entrance granted him into heaven. From that blessed region, as I trust, he looks upon me, as my guardian, while I am writing these things, and upon you while you read them.8282 Halm inserts this last sentence in brackets.
64 Instead of "justo loro," Halm reads, "justo delore," i.e. "with just resentment."
65 "notarios": shorthand writers, who wrote from dictation.
66 Halm here reads "obarratos," with what sense I know not: the reading "obæratos," followed in the text seems to yield a very good meaning.
67 The reading "sine dilectu ullo," adopted by Halm, seems preferable to the old reading, "sine delicto ullo."
68 The identity of Tolosa, mentioned in the text with the modern Toulouse, is uncertain.
69 Of course, this is all jocular, and shows the best relations as existing between Sulpitius and his mother-in-law.
70 There is clearly some affectation in the horror which Sulpitius expresses in this and other passages at the thought of his writings being published. It is obvious that he derived gratification from the fact of their being widely read.
71 "præstabo his participem": the construction is peculiar, but the meaning is obvious.
72 There were several towns of this name in Gaul. The one probably here referred to was on the road from Augustodunum (Autun) to Paris. It corresponds to the modern Cosne, at the junction of the stream Nonain with the river Loire.

Афанасиевската култура е археологическа култура от бронзовата епоха, локализирана в западните части на Алтай и съседните области на запад и север.

Афанасиевската култура възниква в периода 3700-3300 година пр.н.е., вероятно в резултат на миграция на представители на курганната култура от долното течение на Волга и Урал. Това преселване се свързва с обособяването на етническата група на тохарите от основната общност на индоевропейците. Двете групи са отделени от степите на днешен Северен Казахстан, но изглежда поддържат контакт и през следващите столетия, като има данни за последващи миграции в двете посоки. Налице са и сходства със съществувалата по същото време ямна култура в Източна Европа. Афанасиевската култура просъществува до средата на 3 хилядолетие пр.н.е.

The Division One match between Chambishi FC and Mufulira Wanderers has been abandoned due to lack of security.
Chambishi wanted to please it's fans and they made the game free entry thereby failing to manage the surging crowd.
Some fans were left injured in the process.
The zone Two deciding game had a lot on stake and making it free entry was as mistake.
Game was abandoned towards the end of the encounter.
According to the Football Association of Zambia regulation; the home team is supposed to manage its fans and provide adequate Security.
The possibility of Mufulira Wanderers being awarded three points and three goals is high.


The researchers digitally combined photos to create 3-D models of the left ears of 30 of the figures. They found that no two were alike.
"If a thief presses an ear against a door or a windowpane, that can be as effective as a fingerprint," says team member and UCL archaeologist Andrew Bevan. If the terra-cotta warriors portrayed real people, each statue should have distinctively shaped ears.
"The terra-cotta army looks like a series of portraits of real warriors," says one of the research team.
An archaeologist brushes mud off one of the warriors that stood guard over the emperor's tomb, which has yet to be excavated.

Routine Patrol: Memoirs of a Small-town Cop
ByBart Ringer
So what's it like to be a cop in a small Wyoming town in the heart of flyover country? Is it like Barney Fife's sleepy little Mayberry? Sometimes. Is it like Dirty Harry Callahan's San Francisco? On occasion. Is it boring? Is it exciting? Is it scary? Is it rewarding? Is it challenging? Is it dangerous? Is it fun? Is it heartbreaking? If you were to ask Bart Ringer these questions his answer to all of them would be yes. Bart hired on with the Riverton Police Department in May of 1973 and for the next thirty seven years served as a Patrolman, Sergeant, Assistant Chief and School Resource Officer. This book is a collection of some of his experiences as he worked with the people of Riverton. These experiences are by no means unique to him so much as they are a reflection of what any cop on the beat in a small busy Wyoming town will encounter in the course of their career. So come on and hop in the patrol car as a ride along for a taste of routine patrol!

About Bart Ringer
Bart Ringer was born in Compton, CA where he lived until the age of five when his family moved to North Long Beach where he grew up. From as long back as he can remember, his family spent summer vacations visiting relatives who lived in small towns in south eastern Idaho. It was from those experiences that he developed a love for small towns and the life styles that they offered. Early on he decided that, if he could ever figure how to do it, he would like to live somewhere in a small western town. He met and later married wife Marian who haled from Lander Wyoming. He was blessed with four sons who have all now grown and left to live in other small towns. Wife Marian retired in 2007 after having worked at Wyoming Indian School for thirty-three years as a speech pathologist and Bart retired in 2011. Bart and Marian still live in Riverton, Wyoming where they are both active in their church and community and they still heat their house with wood.

Suns 118, Timberwolves 110: A Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Loss
Ugh. This is one they needed to win, should have won, but failed to win.
By Eric in Madison Nov 11, 2017, 10:48pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Suns 118, Timberwolves 110: A Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Loss
Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY Sports
The Suns were more than willing to lose this game tonight, as they have done through most of the early season. The Wolves, however, refused oblige, blowing several leads, including the last one, up six with under five minutes left. They proceeded to fail to score for the next four minutes as the Suns blew past them and ultimately secured a 118-110 victory. This is what happens when you combine poor shooting with unintelligent play and defensive lapses.
Friends, this was a bad one. The Wolves had a miserable time offensively through most of the night, trying to find good looks. Against one of the worst defenses in the league, they wound up shooting barely 40 percent from the floor. Their spacing was atrocious, and their ball movement, which has looked good through much of the last stretch of games, was awful. They were forcing things all night, starting with Jimmy Butler, who appears to have meant what he said yesterday that it was time for him to score. Well, it was time for him to shoot anyway, as he hoisted up 17 shots, making only five. (He did get to the line 16 times and finished with 25 points, but he was forcing things all night.)
Karl-Anthony Towns also struggled to a 8-19 night, as Tyson Chandler and Marquisse Chriss both gave him trouble in the paint, and his outside game was not working. He and Jeff Teague, who looked confused and discombobulated all night, were major culprits in this one. Teague's 3-10 from the field and six turnovers was disastrous, and he and Towns managed a -27 and -23 respectively, which ultimately doomed the Wolves.
Despite the terrible shooting, the Wolves looked in control at several points along the way, thanks to their dominance at the free throw line (35 FTAs to the Suns 24, several of which were end-of-game intentionals,) and on the offensive glass, where they grabbed 19 of their own misses. But as we've seen time and time again, they could not get the stops they needed, with the Suns wing tandem of T.J. Warren and Devin Booker each scoring 35 and combining to go 28-44 from the field. The defense was poor. Warren was getting to his spots and overpowering his defender, usually Andrew Wiggins, while Booker found his rhythm in the second quarter and started raining jumpers on the Wolves. Warren also got plenty in transition, running out and beating the Wolves down court. Wiggins, who scored 27 himself, was a bright spot offensively for the Wolves, but ultimately he and Butler need to "win" their match ups, and they failed to do so tonight.
Things generally seemed to function much better when Tyus Jones and Nemanja Bjelica were in the game for Teague and Towns, as the spacing was significantly better and the ball movement picked up. Bjelica is seeing the inevitable regression to the mean on his three point shooting, but still did some effective things on the floor in his 20 minutes of action.
I don't know what else to say about this. It was terrible. The Suns would absolutely have lost this game had the Wolves strung together more than a few sporadic minutes of quality play. It's hard making these sorts of judgments from the couch, but the Wolves did not look engaged enough tonight. Butler seemed single-minded in pursuit of baskets, Teague was tentative in a way a vet should never be, Towns lacked ferocity, Wiggins drifted in and out. It was a total team failure, with really only Taj Gibson among the starters showing the requisite resolve.
They really cannot be losing games like this. It's a setback.
Gorgui Dieng did not play tonight due to a sprained finger suffered against the Warriors the other night. Cole Aldrich was also out with a sprained ankle.
This was one of Shabazz Muhammad's sprier efforts of the season, with nine points in nine minutes.
Jamal Crawford was a non-factor, however, failing to score in his nine minutes.
In Utah on Monday.
I cannot emphasize enough how awful this loss was.

Insurance provider GJW Direct has launched a new website, aptly named MyBoat, designed to assist with the organisational side of boat ownership by storing all necessary documentation in one place.
MyBoat allows boat owners to create a free account, add multiple vessels and set reminders to get automatic notifications when any certification is due to run out.
Other relevant information that can also be logged on the site includes; safety equipment service dates, insurance deadlines, berthing renewals, running costs - including an option to upload receipts - and maintenance notifications.
It also includes a weather and tides feature that can be personalised to an individual's location.
MyBoat can be used by anyone, regardless of who provides their insurance, however GJW customers who sign up will also have access to exclusive boating discounts on subscriptions, equipment and a range of other recognised marine brands, plus advice on life on and around the water.


Location: An old colonial farmhouse situated on a ranch on the north-western shore of Lake Naivasha.
Rooms: 9 guest rooms spread throughout the main house and gardens.
Facilities: Delightfully comfortable accommodation, a sociable lounge and long dining table. The service is first class and the cuisine is truly delicious with meals taken beneath the acacia trees and the stars whenever possible.
Activities: Day and night game drives, exploring the Eburu Forest, day trip to Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha boat trips, Hell's Gate National Park trips, guided walks, golf, picnic lunch on Crescent Island.
Our Opinion: Nestling in the shade of a grove of wild fig and acacia trees, Loldia House is set amongst beautifully manicured lawns on the shores of Lake Naivasha and enjoys superb views across the lake with the dormant volcano, Mount Longonot rising dramatically beyond. This is a working farm of around 8,000 acres and to explore the farm either on foot or by vehicle is a fascinating experience which will bring you into contact not only with the farm's livestock, but also herds of buffalo, waterbuck, impala and zebra, as well as a huge variety of birds ranging from ostriches to sunbirds. Loldia also has a motor boat for exploring the waters of Lake Naivasha. The lodge is also ideally located for trips to Lake Nakuru National Park and Hell's Gate National Park.

Taking in Local Projects at Zona Maco, Latin America's Largest Art Fair
An entrance to Zona Maco in Mexico City (courtesy of Zona Maco)
MEXICO CITY — Trying to get to the Zona Maco Art Fair feels a lot like trying to get to the airport. After almost an hour of traffic, I arrived at the curb of Centro Citibanamex, an expansive convention center located at the edge of the city. I trailed a power-walking art fair denizen up a very tall escalator until spotting the obligatory metal detectors signifying the fair entrance was near. Founded in 2002 by Zélika García, Zona Maco is the largest fair in Latin America, a one-stop-shop for a variety of luxury ornaments; not only contemporary art, but also furniture, jewelry, textiles, limited edition, decorative objects, art books, antiques, and photography from all eras. The cluster of booths immediately around the entrance featured local crafts and cool-kid magazines, heightening the feeling that I was passing through a duty-free shop on my way to my flight's gate — last chance to get a souvenir or in-flight reading material before takeoff!

I was already experiencing some vertigo and the various shiny objects — contemporary art and sculpture best suited for the living rooms of the .01% — were no help in steadying my vision. More or less literally reeling, I almost ran into "La Dama Oaxaqueña," a 1949 painting by Diego Rivera, placed as it was on the outward-facing wall of the booth of Galerías Cristóbal. The style was clearly his, but being much more familiar with Rivera's overtly political and maximalist murals scattered all around the city, I had to double-check the label. This large but understated painting, done in the canonized style of European aristocratic portraiture but with a Mexican subject, was a necessary palate cleanser before taking in the rest of the fair.

Unfolding my map, I searched for"Plaza de la Informalidad" (Informality Square), a project I had seen making its rounds on Instagram. It wasn't a booth, but there were still works for sale. Guadalajara 90210, a gallery from the eponymous city in Mexico, invited about a dozen artists and collectives to drop off their work. A Mexico City-based streetwear brand hawked jackets in one corner, while puppets and prints hung side by side; when I got up to leave, I bumped my head on a low-hanging mobile. Sales were being made, and while it was a slice of chaotic comfort, it felt a bit like a hasty handout to the local scene. The organizers seemed happy with their end of the deal, but I wished the fair had donated some real square footage for a local project space booth.

Zona Maco does have a section dubbed "New Proposals," curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy, dedicated to showcasing "work by artists that point towards imaginative and experimental ways of living and thinking." It was there I found the tiny booth of Proyecto Nasal, a gallery based in Lima, Peru. On display were several works by the Mexico City-based duo asma, made up of artists Hanya Belía and Matias Armendaris. One work, "Plato de Barro (Clay Plate)" (2020), looked to be a wreath of thorns made of clay but was actually bronze, painted in oil and burned to a clay-like finish, a fitting subversion to the big bling energy found in other booths.

On the other side of the fair, a jumpsuit hung in the corner of a booth. A black pit crew-style uniform — the kind used when popping wheels on and off a race car, with some very obvious additional seam work to make room to wear with breasts — made me think another streetwear brand had sprouted a pop-up shop. A closer look and a conversation with Tamara Ibarra, cofounder of Prras! — a feminist Mexico City-based collective — revealed it to be a sculpture commissioned by the collective and made by designer Lorena Vega called, "Prras! Pit Crew" (2020). Heavily branded with white logos from collectives and events involved in its making and activation, it suggests the ways labor inscribes itself on the bodies of women while also looking very cool. Another collaboration between Prras!, and photographer Dulce Pinzón, featured a series of color photographic portraits commissioned of women-identifying artists and designers wearing the jumpsuit in a location of their choosing.

By the time I exited the convention hall's windowless labyrinth, hours had passed and the sun had set. Although art from dozens of countries and galleries I will never get to visit were available to view and consume, I found myself most drawn to local work. By making space for local artists and their projects, an art fair can resist the de-personalizing airport feel. However, if I visit again, I'll make sure to pop a Dramamine first.
Zona Maco continues through February 9 at Centro Citibanamex (Hall D, Avenida. Conscripto 311, Lomas de Sotelo, Mexico City, Mexico)

Lookonline celebrates today 23 years online making it not only the first fashion site on the Internet but also the longest running site beginning in December, 1994. Above are pictures of the invitation to the launch party called "CyberTaste" held at Sony Plaza on Madison Avenue December 4, 1994 attended by over 850 people.
Our launch -- which was to benefit the charity "Share Our Strength" -- was the single largest event ever held at Sony Plaza up until that time. Lookonline existed even before the Internet as a BBS service with the first graphical interface back in 1993. Does anyone even remember what a BSS was?
We had a number of well known contributors to the site over the years from the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Grace Mirabella and the senior fashion writer of the New York Times Bernadine Morris to the Supermodel Anna Bayle.
Perhaps even more surprising, our site's news & feature linked blog the DFR: Daily Fashion Report is also the first fashion blog on the Internet. Since February 2002, over 2200 posts and linked articles are archived and can be assessed by anyone interested in reading the many interviews, market reports, profiles and editorials covering such an important span of New York fashion from our own original and unique perspective.
For those of you who have supported our site in the past our heartfelt thanks. Lookonline continues to grow and be a free spirited but serious editorial resource read by many of the most respected names in the New York fashion industry.

Justin Timberlake – LoveStoned/I Think She Knows Interlude
By Berussamusicart on 28/04/2015
Timberlake's work has earned him numerous awards, including nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards, the latter being for his appearances on Saturday Night Live. His other ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality.
Timberlake has co-owned or provided celebrity endorsement for three restaurants in the United States: "Chi" opened in West Hollywood, California in 2003 and "Destino" and "Southern Hospitalty" in New York opened in 2006 and 2007, respectively. In 2005, Timberlake launched the William Rast clothing line with childhood friend Juan ("Trace") Ayala. The 2007 line contained cord jackets, cashmere sweaters, jeans, and polo shirts.
The pair reports inspiration from fellow Memphis native Elvis Presley: "Elvis is the perfect mixture of Justin and I," Ayala says. "You can go back and see pictures of him in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and a nice button-down shirt, but then again you can see him in a tux and a collared shirt with rhinestones on it and slacks.
We like to think 'If he was alive today, what would he be wearing?'"Target has announced that a William Rast collection, including denim, outerwear and sportswear for men and women, would launch in December and be available for a month. In 2015, the clothing line earned him a "Fashion Oracle Award" at the Fashion Group International's Night of The Stars Gala.
An avid amateur golfer, in 2007 Timberlake purchased the run-down Big Creek Golf Course in his home town of Millington, Tennessee, which he redeveloped as the eco-friendly Mirimichi Golf Course at a cost of some $US16 million.
It was reopened on July 25, 2009 but closed again on January 15, 2010 for further improvements expected to take six months.
In October 2011, Timberlake received the Futures Award at the Environmental Media Awards for his green-conscious golf course. It was reported on November 7, 2014, that Timberlake had sold Mirimichi to Three Star Leasing LLC for $500,000.Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel are minority owners of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Timberlake provides celebrity endorsement for many commercial products, this aspect of his business being managed by IMG since April 2008.
Major endorsements in 2009 included Sony electronic products, Givenchy's men's fragrance "Play" the Audi A1, Callaway Golf Company products and in 2011, Myspace.In 2012, he hosted Walmart's annual shareholders meeting saying, "I buy a lot at Walmart."
In 2014, Timberlake partnered with Sauza Liquors to re-launch his own version of the beverage as part of the Sauza franchise: Sauza 901.

It's that time of year for peeping over the parapet to stare at the new year.The trouble with predictions is that so often the reality turns out to be much wilder than the forecasts.
It's that time of year for peeping over the parapet to stare at the new year.
The trouble with predictions is that so often the reality turns out to be much wilder than the forecasts. After all, who would have suggested this time last year that Downing Street would be cohabited by the caring couple of Cameron and Clegg, cutting benefits and raising student tuition fees to the cost of a family car?
Anyway, here are some thoughts on next year. Goldman Sachs is projecting a healthy 2.5% GDP growth, at least in line with long-term trends, although the OECD recently cut its forecast to 1.7%. GDP growth is being helped by booming exports, so the more relevant number for retailers is domestic demand growth, which Goldman Sachs forecasts at 1.7%. That's nearly 1% behind the long-run average of 2.6%. Inflation is forecast at 2.5%, but half of that is probably just the VAT increase.
So a weak, and probably uneven, recovery looks likely next year. As interest rates look set to remain low, the middle class, mortgage-paying sector - at least those not afraid of losing their jobs - will remain good retail customers. That should bring a smile to John Lewis, Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer.
However, those customers who rent, or live off savings or fear unemployment, or become students, will continue to find life tough. This should ensure continued strength in the value retail sector, but perhaps punish competitors positioned between hard value and the middle classes. Expect to see continued high levels of promotions from these retailers to compensate.
Low interest rates will, of course, help retailers funded by bank debt, provided that they don't need to refinance any of that, as the credit crunch is unlikely to ease much next year. Refinancings are being inevitably accompanied by steps-up in interest costs, as banks rebuild balance sheets (and bonuses).
The current credit squeeze has restrained private equity, but not stopped it completely. There is still a lot of money in private equity funds looking for a home. We've seen a few deals this year, notably Pets at Home, HobbyCraft, Poundland and Mountain Warehouse. There are also a number of private equity-owned retailers that could be for sale next year; the perennial bride New Look, Maplin, and perhaps Fat Face. On recent experience, these may well be bought by other private equity firms, as the IPO market remains uncertain and public investors remain wary of private equity offerings.
In this economic situation, it's likely to be only quality retailers that actually get sold, whether to public or private shareholders.
I don't mean premium retailers, but those that are in growing markets, differentiated from competitors, and aren't threatened by the internet or hypermarkets. Importantly, it's those that can live through the current sluggish economy to blossom in the long-awaited, but still distant, recovery.

The in vitro and in vivo reproducibility of a video-based digital imaging system for tooth colour measurement
Luo, W, Naeeni, M, Platten, S et al. (4 more authors) (2017) The in vitro and in vivo reproducibility of a video-based digital imaging system for tooth colour measurement. Journal of Dentistry, 67 (Suppl). S15-S19. ISSN 0300-5712
Objectives: To assess the robustness of a new custom built video-based digital imaging system (VDIS) for measuring tooth colour and whiteness under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Methods: The VDIS imaging system was developed for tooth colour measurement and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro validation used extracted human teeth (HT, n = 14) stored in water and VITA Classical shade guide tabs (SG, n = 16). These were measured by the VDIS at baseline, 5 min, 2 h, 1 week and 2 weeks to evaluate the system repeatability. For in vivo validation, adult volunteers (male/female, n = 34) with two natural, unrestored central incisors had their teeth imaged using the VDIS at baseline, 5 min and 2 h (3 images each) by two different operators to evaluate time and operator effects. Between taking individual images, subjects moved from the imaging-frame to assess the effect of re-positioning on reproducibility. From the in vitro and in vivo images, the average tooth RGB values were obtained, and the CIELAB values and a tooth whiteness index WIO value were calculated. Repeatability and reproducibility of VDIS imaging system was assessed using appropriate repeated measurement analysis techniques and ANOVA. Results: The measurement variations in vitro were between 1 and 2 units of ΔWIO and the average colour differences were less than 1 ΔE*ab unit. For the in vivo study, analysis of the CIELAB parameters and WIO showed that subject variability accounted for between 82 and 99% of the observed variability in the measurement process. The operator variability was less than 0.5% and the overall measurement error was found to be only 0.3% for WIO. Across assessment times the variability was less than 0.5%. Conclusions: The dental imaging system V-DIS was shown to be a highly reproducible means for tooth colour and whiteness measurement. Clinical significance: Digital imaging based techniques gives a highly reproducible approach to measuring tooth colour.

As duelling claims are made on the refugee crisis by politicians in different member states of the European Union, fact-checkers from five countries joined forces last week for a televised "relay-[fact]check".
The fact-checkers hailed from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK and included three national TV channels as well as a leading daily newspaper and two independent online fact-checking sites.
The baton passed the next day to FullFact, which fact-checked a claim by a politician from the German Social-Democratic Party who said the UK "receives no refugees", an ungenerous exaggeration. On Wednesday it was the turn of Libération's Désintox, and a claim by Theresa May, the British Home Secretary, on the demographic composition of migrants arriving to Calais. Thursday the show moved to El Objetivo, on Spain's La Sexta channel, which looked at a claim comparing the controversial barriers raised in Hungary to the ones in Spain's North African territories.
Finally the relay returned to Italy on Friday as Pagella Politica* was asked to fact-check a claim by a Spanish MP who accused centre-left governments in his country of hosting only 10% of the refugees that "Berlusconi's Italy" was hosting.
The initiative provided for a truly European story on the refugee crisis. As Joseph O'Leary, Senior Researcher at Full Fact points out "you can't sum up the refugee situation from one country's perspective alone." This reasoning has brought fact-checkers together in the past too, as in the case of last year's G20 in Brisbane.
The project was not without hiccups, with outlets used to the different style of online and TV fact-checking having to find common grounds. Each video also maintained the distinctive format of the producing fact-checker, which is fascinating for media-watchers but perhaps confusing for viewers.
Mathiot also noted this was "a first step before collaborations that we can imagine which are more ambitious [and even] pool resources". A positive note shared by Ana Pastor, host and director of El Objetivo "Starting this Pan-European factchecking initiative with a sensible issue such as the refugees' crisis is very encouraging". The International Fact-Checking Network launched today should be able to support more efforts of this kind. Watch this space.
* Full disclosure: I was Managing Editor of Pagella Politica before joining Poynter and I remain on the board of that editorial project. I don't intend for this fact to affect my coverage in any way, but I will specify it for transparency purposes any time I cover the Italian fact-checkers on this site.

In 2018, Armenia didn't really improve the social protection of scholars and scientists. This is what President of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Radik Martirosyan said during the annual general assembly of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia on 26 March.
According to him, the real estate of the Academy in which the research institutes are based is in poor condition, and there are no restoration efforts even after structures collapse.
The president of the Academy added that the number of scientific workers has dropped to 3,000 and compared this number with the 12,000 scientific workers who used to work in Armenia during the Soviet era.
According to Martirosyan, state funding for the Academy comprised AMD 6 billion, while extra-budgetary funding comprised over AMD 2 billion.
On 26 March, the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia is hosting the annual general assembly devoted to the main results of scientific and scientific-organizational activities carried out in 2018.


2019 is finally here. It's that time of the year when new resolutions are made. Of all the resolutions that are made, there is one that is on the list for everyone and that is saving money. The New Year comes after people have spent all their money during the festive season to impress friends and loved ones. Most people accept the reality after they realize that they have many bills that need to be paid. If you are in this league, you can still apply the tips outlined below and start saving tons of money.
If you are among the people that use cabs regularly, it's advisable you consider sharing rides. This is because it's much affordable than take a private ride. The good thing is that most taxi hailing apps, including Lyft and Uber allow their customers to travel in groups. If live close to neighbours that commute daily to work, you can ask them to join you because the taxi company will only charge one individual. In fact, the government usually reserves a special lane for people that share rides, meaning you will be spared from the trouble of going through heavy traffic.
Coupons allow you to buy items at a discounted price. They are also used when paying for services. Fortunately due to advancements in technology, coupons are now available in electronic format. You don't therefore need to print them like before. Moreover, there are websites that collect coupon codes from all over the internet and store them on their platform so that they can be accessed by their visitors. You can therefore use such coupons to ensure you pay less for the things that you buy frequently. For instance, those who are trying to quit smoking can take advantage of cheap vaping deals that are posted every day.
Instead of living in a large apartment on your own, you should consider renting out some of the rooms. Since the demand for housing is always on the rise, you are guaranteed of finding someone that needs a place to stay. In fact, the part that you rent out can even fetch you money that's enough to pay for the entire house, leaving you with a considerable profit margin.
Appliances that are not energy efficient cause your utility bill to skyrocket. You can reduce your monthly bill by buying appliances that use very little energy. Such appliances have a energy star mark on the side. In addition to that, you should also ensure that you install energy saving bulbs in your home and also insulate the windows and doors. When the doors and windows are insulated, your heating costs go down considerably because much of the heat doesn't escape through broken windows and doors.
Most people assume that secondhand items are meant for poor people in the society. That's damn wrong and far from reality. In fact, there is no point of spending a lot of money to get a brand new item when you can spend much less by purchasing one that has been used. All you have to do is ensure that the item is still in good shape. For instance, a new book costs more money than a used copy of the same book. The content that you will find in the two books is actually the same.
Most people spend more than they earn because they don't have a budget to guide them. You should therefore create a budget of how you will be spending money on a daily basis and stick to it. You can even download an app to help you in keeping your expenses in check. With an app, you will be notified when your spending has gone through the roof. And as added bonus, you should avoid paying for your purchases using a credit card because it encourages you to spend money that you have not yet earned. This ensures that you will not be haunted by credit card debts.

Q: How to add and remove an input element with attributes using jquery I have to add and remove an input field in div with id "add", So the following code is not working.

<button id="add-el">Add</button>
<button id="add-el">Remove</button>

$("#add-el").on("click", funtion () {

   var input = $("<input class=\"some-class\" type=\"email\" name=\"email\"
    required=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your address\" autocomplete=\"off\">");
   $("#add").append(input);

});

$("#remove-el").on("click", funtion () {

   $("#add").remove(input);

});

A: Create element using jQuery(html, attributes) instead of string concatenation.
You can use .empty() to clear the
 content. Or, define input variable outside event handler and use it to remove the element.

var input;
$("#add-el").on("click", function() {
  input = $('<input />', {
    "class": "some-class",
    "type": "email",
    "placeholder": "Enter your address"
  });

  $("#add").append(input);
});

$("#remove-el").on("click", function() {
  //$("#add").empty();

  if (input && input.length) {
    input.remove();
  }
});

<button id="add-el">Add</button>
<button id="remove-el">Remove</button>

A: There are multiple problems in your code.
You have a SyntaxError because you have a new line before required=\"\"  and you write  funtion  instead of function

var input

$("#add-el").on("click", function() {

  input = $("<input class=\"some-class\" type=\"email\" name=\"email\" required = \"\" placeholder=\"Enter your address\" autocomplete=\"off\">");
  $("#add").append(input);

});

$("#remove-el").on("click", function() {
  input.remove();
});

<button id="add-el">Add</button>
<button id="remove-el">Remove</button>

And IDs have to be unique, you must not have to elements with the id add-el.
And you cannot access the input you defined in the add-el callback in the remove-el callback.

A: There is issue in your code: https://codepen.io/creativedev/pen/pZNOwq
Change funtion to function and it will work. See demo
$("#add-el").on("click", function () {

   var input = $("<input class=\"some-class\" type=\"email\" name=\"email\" required=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your address\" autocomplete=\"off\">");
   $("#add").append(input);

});

[Jakarta, LTTW] In January 10, 2018, Joko Widodo along with the government and Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat or the People's Representative discussed a bill that contains a law that prohibits people from insulting the President. This proposed regulation titled Rancangan Kitab Hukum Undang-Undang Pidana (RKHUP) is a revision attempt for the existing law, the bill of Indonesian Criminal Code.
Concerns arise when there is no definite meaning of insult in the bill and no explanation of what constitute as an insult and what does not.

Jean–Paul and son Benoît Droin can trace their family roots as vineyard owners back to 1620. Through succeeding generations they have managed to acquire a little over 26 hectares of vines in Chablis. In 1999 Benoît began plowing his vineyard to help revitalize the microbial life in the soils and at the same time he also began to prune his vines differently to decrease yields and reduce the disease pressures in this famously inclement appellation. Harvest are conducted early – just as the grapes reach ripeness so as to preserve the natural acidity in the final wines. The new cellar, built on the edge of the sleepy village of Chablis in 1999, see a mix of modern and traditional winemaking techniques where both stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels are used to make the wines. Fermentations are conducted, after a gentle pneumatic pressing, in stainless steel tanks by natural yeasts.
Located on the west bank of the Yvonne, and just to the south of Vaillons, Montmains, has a southeastern exposure. Considered, along with Vaillons, to be one of the top premier crus west of the river, Montmains is forward in its youth, displaying more apple than lime flavors with a distinctive nutty nuance – Benoît says it is reminiscent of hazelnuts or almonds and speculates that this is due to the finer marl soils of this hillside.
