Anyone who has ever had the "privilege" of interviewing a certified individual with purely theoretical knowledge appreciates the value of hands-on tests. The creators of certifications in the IT industry (including Cisco Systems) have responded by including more and more hands-on exercises in the certification exams. Unfortunately, Cisco decided not to use the real equipment, but rather simulations. While this is definitely better than relying exclusively on multiple-choice tests, students can still work their way through the simulations without having a decent level of hands-on experience.
Does a loop (cable returning back to same switch) in one switch affect other switches? How can I detect that there is such a problem in a particular switch?
The correct answer to the first question is obviously it depends. To start with, it depends on whether the two ports will be able to communicate. With a crossover (switch-to-switch) cable (and assuming there are no negotiation issues), the physical layer will work correctly. If you're using a standard RJ-45 patch cable, you're "out of luck" unless the switch is too smart and has auto-MDI sensing (like the Linksys switches, now well hidden under obscure part numbers like Cisco SRW248G4). In this case, the two ports will become active even connected with a patch cable.
What happens next depends on how smartly you've configured the ports. If you haven't touched the default configuration, the spanning tree (STP) will discover a loop and disable one of the ports. You can identify a disabled port(s) with the show spanning-tree commands.
I've seen interesting network meltdowns following a layer-2 loop. Broadcasts or multicasts are most likely to be looped, so they will affect the whole network, including all connected workstations.
Numerous articles describing the widespread routing instabilities caused by sloppy parser of a small router vendor (including posts at BGPmon, Renesys, Arbor Security and my blog) hinted that the unusual BGP update caused so many problems because the ISPs were using outdated Cisco IOS releases. This is definitely not the case; all classic IOS releases were affected.
When you do inbound AS-path prepending and receive a BGP update where the total length of inbound AS-path and prepending exceeds 255, the AS-path in your BGP table is completely mangled. The path is sporadically advertised to IBGP or EBGP peers and kills downstream BGP sessions (remote BGP peer sends BGP notification due to invalid UPDATE message).
When you do outbound AS-path prepending and send a BGP update where the total length of the AS-path in your BGP table, prepended AS-path and your own AS-number exceed 255, the outbound EBGP update is incorrect and the downstream EBGP peer sends BGP notification, resulting in BGP session reset. IBGP peers are not affected, as IOS does not perform AS-path prepending on IBGP sessions.
If you don't prepend, you're safe. IOS marks BGP paths with AS-path length greater or equal to 254 as invalid and does not propagate them, so the AS-path length in the outbound update can never exceed 255 without prepending.
All the problems associated with CSCsx73770 can be avoided if you limit the AS-path length with the bgp maxas-limit global configuration command.
Obviously, if a downstream device is running a very old IOS release that is vulnerable to CSCdr54230, it has no chance of surviving incoming BGP update.
When I was testing the IOS behavior in my lab, I was not aware how long the offending AS-path was, so my initial analysis was incorrect. With the input from NANOG mailing list supplying to the actual length of the AS-path, this is the most probably scenario: the offending AS-path length was close enough to 255 that the outbound AS-path prepending performed between Tier-1 providers (or their peers) that did not limit the AS-path length caused EBGP sessions to reset (if someone performs inbound AS-path prepending, the IBGP sessions would suffer). Those providers that implemented AS-path length limiting successfully protected their downstream peers and their customers (unless, of course, the customers were running really old IOS releases).
The Tuesday's BGP experiment has generated quite a splash: Cisco has discovered a new BGP bug that can be triggered only if you have a long enough AS-path and do outbound AS-path prepending (and a few of us learned more BGP intricacies we never wanted to know), lots of people have (hopefully) discovered the importance of the bgp maxas-limit configuration command and at least some ISPs have implemented inbound prepending filters that I wrote about almost a year ago. However, most of us thought that the original problem arose due to inexperienced operators of a leaf AS.
Mikael Abrahamsson was the first to notice that the number of prepends matches the low-order 8 bits of the offending AS number. Further contributors to NANOG mailing list confirmed that two autonomous systems with very long prepends are using BGP routers from Mikrotik. You configure those boxes with commands that have syntax deceptively close to Cisco's, but expect the number of AS numbers to prepend, not the AS-path. Obviously no range checking is done on the configuration parameter and the high-order 8 bits are ignored.
So it looks like the incident started with a box that accepts invalid configuration parameter used in an AS with very high value in low-order 8 bits (very improbable, but obviously not impossible). Numerous ISPs that did not limit the BGP updates they were propagating and an IOS bug did the rest.
One of my fellow engineers was working with a customer who wanted to have UMTS backup for his primary link. They've got it to work, including IPSec+GRE running over UMTS to provide the necessary privacy/security. However, it turned out that all wireless solutions (at least as offered by nearby Service Providers) are ridden with ridiculous round-trip times. For example, UMTS transmission delay is equivalent to the time it takes to send an IP packet from Central Europe to US West coast.
Obviously UMTS technology is not ready to provide backup for VoIP traffic (which prompts an interesting question: how do the Service Providers plan to provide reasonable quality IP-based voice calls over UTMS?). The reality is way worse than that: a few hundred millisecond round-trip time can kill web browsing performance if you have awfully-designed web sites (and a lot of intranets are not well-designed because the developers never considered the delay impact).
If you've ever tried to design QoS in a large Service Provider network, you've probably realized that QoS is a zero-sum game: you can give some traffic preferential treatment only if you decide to drop or delay some other traffic. Furthermore, QoS is not linked to IP routing; interface queues cannot apply backpressure to IP routing tables or influence load sharing ratios.
The only technology that can shift the excess traffic in high-speed IP-only networks from congested links to underutilized alternate paths is MPLS traffic engineering. The "Using MPLS TE to avoid core network congestion" article I've written for SearchTelecom describes the basic interactions of MPLS TE and QoS and introduces autotunnel and autobandwidth concepts.
I was wrong about the details of yesterday's Internet brownout: older IOS releases don't recognize AS-paths having more than 128 AS numbers due to improper handling of extended length flag in the BGP UPDATE message (CSCdr54230).
However, quick stress tests indicate that classic IOS releases (including 12.2SRC) can't handle AS-paths having more than 255 AS numbers. IOS is able to accept (and properly process) inbound updates with two AS_SEQUENCE segments, but does not generate valid AS-path attribute in outbound update when there are more than 255 AS numbers in the AS-path, resulting in a NOTIFICATION message and continuously flapping BGP session. The only global protection you have against this behavior is the bgp maxas-limit router configuration command.
I've also updated the Wiki article.
Bringing down the whole Internet because you've saved $3000 on the BGP training (or $50 on a BGP book): priceless.
One of the readers of our forums was looking for an interesting solution: he would like to be able to display interface configuration while configuring the same interface. Obviously you could always use the do show running interface name command, but he was looking for a single command without parameters that would display the configuration of the currently selected interface.
Boštjan Šuštar devised a brilliant solution based on EEM Tcl policies and expanded it to include the routing protocol configuration. After installing two EEM policies and adding a few aliases, you can use the config command in interface or routing protocol configuration modes to see the current configuration of the object you're configuring.
Isaac was trying to implement the HTTP PUT solution I've described in the IP Corner article Using a Web Server to Manage Your Router Configurations. He couldn't get IIS or Apache to work and finally discovered that he was facing an IOS problem. When he's upgraded the routers to IOS release 12.4(20)T or 12.4(22)T, the copy running-config http://host/path command worked as expected.
Isaac, thanks for the feedback!
Readers who commented on some of my previous certification-related posts have complained about the vagueness of exam questions. I have to agree with them; I've seen my fair share of dubious questions in the exams I've taken. For example, when I was developing EIGRP and BGP courses for Cisco, my lowest scores on the CCIE recertification exams were in those two categories. I knew too many details and was confused by the vagueness of the questions.
A scrap between two pornographic Web sites turned nasty when one figured out how to take down the other by exploiting a previously unknown quirk in the Internet's DNS.
The attack is known as DNS Amplification. It has been used sporadically since December, but it started getting talked about last month when ISPrime, a small New York ISP, started getting hit hard with what's known as a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
So an attack that has been known to be used since December is previously unknown in February. Maybe the time runs backwards for some people?
But the most interesting part of the story is the attack itself: it has almost nothing to do with DNS; any UDP application where the reply is significantly longer than the request (for example, TFTP) would do. DNS just happens to be the most widespread one. Calling this a quirk in the Internet's DNS is at least an exaggeration.
It helps if you have a zombie network, but even a single workstation with 100 Mbps connection to the Internet (there are plenty of them in corporate and academic networks) would do.
The site to which the workstation is connected as well as the ISP has to be careless enough to allow source IP address spoofing. A large percentage of ISPs still fit this criterion.
You start sending large number of DNS requests that generate long replies to DNS servers around the world. The source IP address of the request should be the IP address of the server you want to attack.
The DNS servers send their replies to the spoofed IP address, swamping the Internet connection of the attack target.
The effectiveness of this attack depends on the amplification factor: the ratio between the DNS query and DNS response sizes (including the IP and UDP header). For example, the amplification factor of the root nameserver query is more than five. Wireshark on my Linux workstation reports that the IP packet size of the DNS query is 45 bytes and the packet size of the DNS reply is 256 bytes.
A few hours ago, Internetwork Expert launched an ingenious solution: the Poly-Lab Assessments. The basic idea is brilliantly simple: if you're using a common hardware and L2/L3 topology for all labs (and hundreds of tasks within these labs), it's possible to mix individual tasks into a customized lab tailored to the needs of a CCIE candidate. The mix-and-match approach allows you to customize the difficulty of selected tasks (and technologies from the CCIE blueprint) to the candidate's capabilities.
Initially, the candidates have to guess their competence level; after the first grading, the system gives them a more realistic estimate, along with the recommended actions they need to take to improve their skills. Using the Poly-Labs continuously gives you a nice progress indication, as you can watch whether you've improved in the most problematic areas. Once you're satisfied with your knowledge level, you just switch to another well-known web site and schedule the actual CCIE lab.
I've particularly liked the grading system: finally there's a vendor (apart from the assessment engine I wrote for NIL more than five years ago) that understands you should examine the show printouts (not just the configurations) and check whether they confirm the task has been accomplished. Obviously, this could lead to some nasty surprises: even though your configuration is correct, you might still lose points because another feature you configured has demolished your previous work (for example, inbound ACL dropping OSPF hello packets). Anyhow, that's life; this grading system is more realistic than simplistic configuration matching.
All in all, the Poly-Labs look extremely promising. Brian McGahan has offered me a test drive; I'll definitely keep you posted.
Another cheat sheet is available in the CT3 Wiki, this one covering the basics of MPLS Traffic Engineering.
I've also created an index page for the cheat sheets, which is easily found in the Resources section of the wiki's main page.
The fourth article in the IPSec series written by Boštjan Šuštar deals with Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN). Boštjan describes the design and implementation aspects of DMVPN without going into too many unnecessary details, behavior of RIP, OSPF and EIGRP over DMVPN clouds and the resilience (multiple hubs), performance and scalability considerations of DMVPN.
The survival time is an estimate of how long an un-patched computer will remain uncompromised once it's connected to the Internet. While the actual time varies, historically it tends to run between 4 and 20 minutes.
This is such an obvious nonsense that I had to check the source, which is also full of alarming messages, but admits at the end that the problems described largely disappeared with XP SP2. Just to put things in perspective: XP SP2 was released in August 2004 and the graph in the alarming blog post displays data from 2008.
Next step: investigate the source of the graph. The »average survival time« is defined as the time between probes on numerous TCP or UDP ports, regardless of whether the port was actually enabled in the workstation and whether the probe was successful or not.
My personal conclusion: as most workstations include some sort of rudimentary firewall these days, the whole approach is bogus. More precisely, it measures an important parameter (average time between probes), but claims it represents something completely different (average survival time). Would you agree with my conclusion?
Lesson learned: Never trust alarming over-simplifying statements based on misunderstood data.
Finally I found time to organize the various interesting Tclsh bits-and-pieces I've blogged about in a comprehensive Tclsh on Cisco IOS tutorial.
It's not a classic tutorial; I'm assuming you know what Tcl is and how to write Tcl programs. The articles in the tutorial document the implementation details and discrepancies that are not (to my knowledge) documented anywhere else.
You might be aware that there are two ways of executing IOS CLI commands from IOS tclsh: either you insert the IOS commands directly in the Tcl code (tclsh passes any unknown commands to the CLI parser) or you execute them with the exec command. There are subtle differences between the two methods, described in the "Executing IOS commands from Tcl shell article" in the CT3 wiki.
Recently, on an IPSec-based customer network, we installed one of the brand new platforms introduced by Cisco Systems. The initial software release had memory leaks (no problem, we all know these things happen), so we upgraded the box to the latest software. It works perfectly … until you reload it. The software we're forced to use cannot get IPSec to work if the startup configuration includes interface-level crypto-maps. Interestingly, you can configure crypto-maps manually and they work … until you save them into the startup configuration and reload the box.
Very recent IOS releases (12.2SRC and 12.4(22)T) have a handy command: show running vrf name, which displays VRF, interface and routing protocol configurations of the specified VRF. It does not, however, include referenced access-lists or route-maps.
Davor Koncic solved this problem years ago: he wrote a Tcl script that does the same job better; his script displays most configuration parameters related to a VRF (he's missing the MQC or IPSec parts). Great job (and a nice illustration of the power of Tclsh on IOS).

Lipomas are pockets of fatty tissue that develop under the skin. While there is typically not a medical reason to remove a lipoma, it is common to want this fatty tumor removed if it appears on the face. A lipoma can range in size from a small coin to a tennis ball. Regardless of size, however, it can be a source of embarrassment and even disfigurement on the face. Whether your lipoma is limiting your facial movement or an unsightly blemish that compromises your facial beauty, Dr. Harirchian can offer the excellence you deserve in facial lipoma removal. By choosing an experienced facial plastic surgeon for your lipoma removal, you can eliminate the risk of unsightly, visible scarring.
Lipomas are benign fatty tumors that slowly grow beneath the skin. They can feel soft, rubbery and doughy when you press on them. Lipomas can occur anywhere on the body but most commonly develop on the upper body. While facial lipomas are not harmful to your health, they can slowly grow to a noticeable size and become an aesthetic threat to your overall appearance and facial beauty. Dr. Harirchian carries elite skill and experience when it comes to removing skin growths on the face. She understands the importance of using conservative, precise and minimally-invasive techniques to ensure your facial skin regains its most natural appearance. Minimizing scarring and improving healing is a top priority in lipoma removal surgery.
Nearly 1 person in 1,000 are likely to get a lipoma at some point in their lifetime. Lipomas most commonly develop in adults over the age of 40. They are usually painless unless they affect a nerve or contain blood vessels. Family history seems to play a strong role in the likelihood of getting a lipoma, but these fatty growths are also associated with certain diseases, such as Cowden syndrome, Madelung's disease, adiposis dolorosa and Gardner's syndrome. However, the cause of many lipomas go undetermined, but this doesn't restrict a patient's consent to have the unsightly growth removed.
The surgical removal of facial lipomas is typically a simple outpatient procedure. Most patients are given local anesthetic to numb the area so that the growth can be quickly and painlessly be removed. Using a talented surgical hand, Dr. Harirchian can remove your lipoma with careful attention to preserve your healthy skin tissues and drastically reduce scarring. Any procedure that involves your face should be performed by a trusted, experienced and highly trained surgeon. Electing to have your lipoma removed by a facial plastic surgeon can greatly affect how the surgical site heals and the long-term cosmetic results. Our goal is to remove the lipoma while allowing your skin to heal and restore itself in a seamless condition.
If you have a lipoma that is on your face, we invite you to explore your options for removal with an esteemed facial plastic surgeon in Houston. Contact us today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Sanaz Harirchian.

the Parisian ring road again blocked by Last renovation (VIDEO) – RT in French
In this article, you will get all information regarding the Parisian ring road again blocked by Last renovation (VIDEO) – RT in French
A dozen members of the environmental collective Last Renovation carried out yet another punch operation on the Parisian ring road. Compared to previous ones, this blocking action took place in relative calm.
After the transport strike, the blocking of the ring road? On this Remembrance Day, a public holiday in France, some Ile-de-France residents had the unpleasant surprise of finding a sit-in by environmental activists on their way. "As the nation gathers today to honor the memory of the brave who fought to preserve the freedom of their fellow citizens, Last Renovation asks the government that everything be done to guarantee that of current and future generations," tweeted Last Renovation. , behind this blocking operation.
To carry out their twelfth action in less than a month, the members of the collective have chosen this time the section between the Porte de Choisy and that of Ivry. Around 9 a.m., a dozen activists and as many photographers, cameramen and journalists burst onto the lanes of the ring road to block traffic.
Faced with the blockage, motorists help each other
Unlike previous blockades, carried out on weekdays at peak times, the tension did not particularly rise except for a few insults and torn banners. Some of the blocked motorists even quickly managed to clear one of the lanes, keeping the militants at a distance.
The crowd ended up completely obstructing the four lanes, however, until the arrival of several dozen police officers, including some from the intervention companies, who sent motorists back to their vehicles and began a laborious evacuation of the handful of vehicles. environmentalists. The operation will have, like the previous ones, lasted about thirty minutes.
Last renovation is campaigning for the adoption by the government of a plan for the thermal renovation of buildings "at the height of the climate emergency". From sit-ins on the ring road to the interruption of sports competitions, including the lowering of the flag of the Pantheon, the collective has to its credit a dozen punch operations since the start of its "third wave" of actions mid-October.

Ok so for the first few hours (maybe day if you're easily amused) you'll find it fun, hopefully funny, and definitely addictive. But for me it wore out very fast, and if you're out for a serious management or strategy or rpg game definitely look elsewhere. All in all fun but does it warrant the cash?

I began my 18 years with the Gilbert District in the fall of 1979. My predecessor was Chuck Watts who taught for 11 years in Gilbert. Watts was a percussionist who also worked with the Arizona Wranglers, a drum corps in the area. When I came to Gilbert Marty Gierke was band director at the 3 elementary schools - Gilbert, Greenfield & Patterson - and I was band director for Gilbert Jr & Sr High Schools. Jack Radovich was the strings teacher for the district. Since there were so few high school strings students, they walked "down" to the junior high to combine with them for their class. With Bill Bitter's first year we convinced the administration to allow the high school strings class to meet on the high school campus so the strings program would grow. Bitter's first strings class had a total of 5 students - as I recall two of those were barely past beginner level. The second year Bitter had about 12 students, the third year about 20 and the rest - as they say - is history. GHS/GJHS choir teacher was Hoyt Davis.
My first annual salary in Gilbert with a full contract including addendums was a little over $15,000. I thought I was being very well paid, since my first year's full time salary from 8 years earlier in Tennessee was $6,000! Prior to my coming to Gilbert I was graduate assistant for one year with the ASU bands as I worked on my Masters. Prior to that I taught for 7 years in my home state of Tennessee.
When I arrived at GHS the auditorium was near completion. My first concert at GHS was the premier concert in the new auditorium, Previously GHS band concerts had been held in the cafeteria. The band and strings shared the same rehearsal room and the choir and dance classes shared a room for a few years until the choir room was completed on the south side of the auditorium.
Jasper Cowart was the superintendent when I began in Gilbert. The only directive he gave me was that the high school band was to always march in the Gilbert Days Parade. Apparently the previous year the high school band had gone to U of A's band day instead of the local parade. I always honored Mr. Cowart's directive and the year we marched both the Fiesta and Rose Bowl Parades we marched the Gilbert Days Parade twice! We had busses take us back to the beginning of the parade and marched through again!
Richard Riley (later Dr. Riley) was GHS principal and Hank Luedy was GJHS principal. In my interview with Riley before being hired I asked what kind of a band program he wanted. He stated that Gilbert had developed a reputation as a good FFA and sports school and that he wanted Gilbert to also be known as a strong music school. I found out many years later that Mr. Riley took a lot of heat from parents because of me and that he told them to give me 3 years and see how things were. After 3 years, apparently we were getting along a lot better!
Prior to my arrival at GHS the band had never had any rehearsals outside the school day, had a band camp or traveled out of state! There were 120 students on the band roll when I arrived. By ASU band day that number was down to 100 and at ASU's band day only 90 students showed up! The other ten were hunting, shopping, etc. My first year the high school included grades 9 - 12. In my 2nd year the new junior high opened and the 9th grade was moved to the junior high which had grades 7 - 9. As a result of this change with the 9th graders, the high school band had no incoming new students. We went from a 3 bus band my first year to a one bus band my second year. By using our "Great White" (school bus configured to carry instruments and uniforms) we could get our total marching band of 60 students on one bus. My 2nd & 3rd years at Gilbert our marching band had a total each year of only 26 winds! One year we had as many guard members as we did winds!
My first year at GHS was also the first year for the State Marching Festival. That year bands had to qualify with a superior rating at one of the university band days. (ABODA marching festivals did not materialize until several years later.) The first state marching festival was only about 24 bands total. We did not qualify for state that first year. However, following GHS band received a superior rating for 16 of the 18 years I was at Gilbert. (The only other year we did not receive a superior rating was the first year the state marching festival went to caption judging system - in the late 80's as I recall.) At the time I left, GHS had received more superior ratings from the state marching festival than any other school in the state and I believe that continues to be the case even today.
During my first few years at GHS we had a homecoming parade each year. The parade went from the high school north about a mile through downtown. Since the parade was at the end of the day we could not get busses so we had to march the parade from the high school and then walk back to the high school. Parade consisted of a police car, the band, the cheerleaders and a float from each grade level. We continued the homecoming parade experience at the new high school (which opened in fall of 86 - I think) by taking advantage of the uniqueness of the facility. We divided our band into 5 bands. Freshmen would be a "band" leaving from the band room and the other 4 "bands" would position themselves in one of the 4 hallways - 2 on first level and 2 on the second level. At the appropriate time I would blow my whistle from the center of the building. The "bands" would begin playing the fight song and "march" to the gym. As the "bands" passed classrooms students would follow behind to the gym for our homecoming pep rally. Since I have always loved a parade, this event was always a highlight of the first semester for me. Somehow the "bands" always managed to "get together" while playing the fight song and converging to the gym. To my knowledge no band students were ever hurt while making their way down the steps from the 2nd floor!
When the new high school was opened the 9th grade was brought back to the high school. I decided to keep the freshmen band "separate" from the older students. First semester was our JV Marching Band (all freshmen). Our Varsity Marching Band was grades 10 - 12. The JV Marching Band would march for a few freshmen or jv football games at home and one varsity football game. The JV Marching Band would attend one judged event so they could experience the adjudicated performance. Nearly every year adjudicators would approach me and ask how to "rate" our JV band. I told them to "give us an 'Excellent' and it would be ok" and that's what they always did! One of my highest "highs" was the year we took the JV band to NAU Band Day along with the varsity band. In those days the band days scheduled bands in order based on size with smaller band going first. That afternoon at NAU our Gilbert bands were the last two bands! My high was the few minutes between our bands' performances when we had 120 JV band members beyond the south end zone as they had finished their performance and 235 Varsity band members beyond the north end zone awaiting their performance. The JV band situation was obviously a lot of work but the advantages were definitely worth it. Our Varsity band never had "rookie" members since our sophomores began the season ready to contribute.
During second semester the freshman remained together in "Concert Band". In all the years of the JV Band we never had freshmen "cross over" into the "older" bands, even the 3 different freshmen who made the AZ All-State Band.
During second semester older bandsmen were assigned to ensembles based on grade level and instrumentation. All seniors automatically were enrolled in our "Senior Wind Ensemble" with some advanced sophomores/juniors added as needed and as instrumentation would allow. Remaining sophomores/juniors were in our Symphonic Band which rehearsed the same period as the Senior Wind Ensemble. I believe this arrangement was instrumental in our having as many seniors as we did continue in band until they graduated. I do not know if it was true, but I was told one year by the MCC band staff that Gilbert had more second semester seniors in band that all the Mesa high school combined.
During my first several years of teaching I did not believe that traveling with music ensembles was worth the expense. My frustration with the seeming mediocrity in the band programs in Arizona led us to travel to Southern California with our marching band for the first time around l985. The only opportunities to perform in AZ were football games and university band days utilizing the "judge everything" system. Small bands had to perform early for small audiences and what seemed to be a "different" standard of judging as adjudicators seemed to "save" ratings. The Southern Cal system assigned bands to divisions based on their experience and "record" and utilized a caption system of adjudicating very similar to the drum corps system. Divisions were kept small so everyone "had a chance" to receive awards. We would usually leave on a Thursday and be able to schedule a clinic, an amusement park visit and two competitions before returning to Gilbert by "sun up" on Sunday. Our LDS community agreed to our out of state travel as long as their children were home by Sunday at "sun up". So we saved a night's lodging by driving overnight! We also traveled to Albuquerque once and Las Vegas 2 or 3 times. In June of '94 we participated in the Portland Rose Festival with our field show, parade and jazz bands. We also traveled with our concert ensembles a few times to Southern Cal and twice to Durango, Colorado.
I believe that all of our GHS music ensembles improved as a direct result of our marching band traveling out of state. Improvements were evidenced by increased quality of program, higher visibility in our community and increases in financial support.
Our out of state travel had a large impact on our being able to develop multiple staff members for our ensembles. Our band parents who traveled with us to Southern Cal marching competitions saw that the band staff did not resemble drum corps staffs. Our staff included myself, my wife as part time guard instructor and a part time drum instructor. Our parents reasoned that unless I got some help I would burn out for sure and, if we wanted to compete on a higher level, we needed additional staff. To assist in convincing Mr. Riley that we needed additional band staff, I invited him to attend a marching band rehearsal to have him witness the winds working in one area, the guard in another area and the percussion in another area. I appealed to his concern for student safety in rehearsals and during performances - with band students in the stands, at the concession area, at the restrooms, at the bus area - to justify need for additional staff as the band was beginning to grow. I also pointed out that when I had 80 students in band I was "doing the work" of two teachers. He agreed that for every 40 band students enrolled we would have a certified band instructor. Our assistant directors - eventually in choir and strings as well as band - were full time certified music educators who taught at other schools within the district.
Prior to the opening of Highland, the GHS band staff grew to include 7 full time band instructors plus one full time percussion and two part time guard instructors. My addendum was equal to the head football coach's and our assistant band staff addenda were the same as assistant football coaches' addenda. This came about because of a committee commissioned to evaluate the addendum structure. It was reported to me that they came to their conclusions re: band staff addendum based on their observance of how hard the band staff worked, deducing that football and band addenda were equal.
Before going "national" and affiliating themselves with Tostitos, the Fiesta Bowl was "local friendly" and encouraged Arizona bands to march in the Fiesta Bowl Parade. Most high school band directors weren't interested in having their bands participate but I observed that a lot of folks attended the parade and many of those folks had no other exposure to GHS music ensembles - so we marched annually in the parade.
The GHS band uniforms were an out-dated style and a light gold - dare I say mustard - in color. We used those uniforms the first year but for our second year changed to a drum corps style uniform. We used the same uniform trousers and for a total of $1,000 contracted for a local seamstress to make black satin shirts, ascots and cumberbunds.
One Tuesday in the spring after a Fiesta Bowl parade appearance, as I was leaving campus Mr. Riley stopped me to tell me that the school board wanted to buy uniforms for the marching band and choir and that he needed design plans and costs by that Friday! It seems that a school board member had been in attendance at the previous Fiesta Bowl Parade. While our homemade uniforms looked acceptable from a distance on the football field, when viewed "close up" in comparison to other band uniforms, ours were apparently a little embarrassing. I'm not sure if the school board was aware of what they were committing to, because for several years after that we annually purchased additional uniforms to keep up with our increases in enrollment. Our requests for additional uniforms were never denied.
Soon after coming to Gilbert, we began the Band Boosters Club. Active parent involvement was crucial to the development of the band program. When the band was small parents were greatly needed simply because we had very little help. As the band grew in size, more and more things needed to be delegated and parents valiantly met the challenges year after year. The Band Booster club was most helpful in fund raising and assisting with our travel needs - within as well as out of state. Many booster parents attended rehearsals, learned how/when to set up equipment and became essential components of performances. It was my understanding that the band boosters were considered to be as influential as the athletic boosters in terms of helping to make decisions regarding using time, space and money within the district.
Administrators - campus and district level - were willing to invest in music education to include taking "risks" in scheduling and giving programs time and space to develop, instead of always looking for "numbers" to drive all their decisions.
Well-educated, stable and hard-working staff - Consider that during the Watts-Hatler-Edgar eras, Gilbert High School had only three "lead" band directors over a span of forty years! I once was told by one of our experienced staff members that Gilbert district music teachers worked harder than those in most other districts. Even though I was skeptical about the statement at the time it was made, I now agree with the observation. The vertical assignments (teaching at various levels - high school/junior high; junior high/elementary, etc.) influenced positively the strength of our programs. In addition, staff members shared a desire to use music to shape students into good citizens, rather than simply using students to make music. This philosophy guided many decisions including music selection (what do students need to learn), discipline decisions (what does this child need), and travel choices (with what destination do students need to become familiar). Placing learners first, even though not a stated understanding, was at the heart of the program.
A leader/driver /face of the program aided in providing cohesion, direction, focus and visibility to music education.
Parent Support - parents appreciated the unique and valuable opportunities available for their children through music education and were very willing to aid in their development.
The results of the programmatic elements are seen in the number of students throughout the district who participate in performing arts, as well as in the academic achievements for which the Gilbert district is known. Not only did (and does) music participation contribute to learning, many students who would not otherwise have opportunities to excel experienced the benefits of achieving team success by being a part of the GHS Band. By developing habits of excellence, learning daily to collaborate and being a part of something that was greater than themselves, GHS band students "breathed in" the necessary characteristics of citizenship.
Many, including myself, credit Phil Hatler (band) and Bill Bitter (orchestra) with the help of Rita Scholz (choir) as the primary source of the phenomenal music program we are so proud of today. I was a band and symphony orchestra student at Gilbert High in the early days of these two giants offering the most extreme of personal sacrifice to build a program of the highest passion, achievement, and ultimately national leadership. These men did more than build one of the finest music programs in the country, they became role models, mentors, leaders, and even father figures for literally thousands of young people who lead and serve the community today. Phil Hatler's history of music education in Gilbert is a fascinating study in how much grit and determination got us to where we are today. This shows how critical dedicated music educators are to our success. But in order for them to succeed, what strikes me more is the critical role of administration and parent support to both "invest" and "risk" in the program.


Pastor Appreciation Month – October – We should help show our appreciate to our pastors, not only this month dedicated to them, but all the time. These men of God put other things aside for our needs to help give us the Word of God.
This is also known as Pastors Appreciation Month or Clergys Appreciation Day.
I would love to special thanks to all the past pastors in my life and to my current pastor, Bob Neal at Piedmont Baptist Church in Dandridge, TN. God truly uses this man and I always feel the power of the Holy Spirit with his sermons. I know that I can go to Pastor Bob about anything. He has been the longest serving pastor at Piedmont too.
In addition, I would love to also give a special appreciation to Justin Breeden, who is a licensed minister. Justin ministers to various ministries for our church and right now is a fill in pastor at area churches. I enjoy it when I can hear him preach and teach too. He is a very knowledgeable man and you can learn a lot from him. Justin will make you think and research for yourself.
Plus all other pastors who are out there that are working for the Lord! Thank you all!
The second Sunday of October, Pastor Appreciation Day, however, other churches may celebrate the day on a different day. Sometimes known as Clergy Appreciation Day. This day was started in 1992 by Hallmark Cards. Some people call it Pastors Appreciation Day.
This year, 2017, it is Sunday, October 8, 2017. The next three occurrences will happen on October 14, 2018; October 13, 2019 and October 11, 2020.
We shouldn't just set one month or one day aside for Pastor Appreciation, but we should appreciate our pastor on a daily basis. God appointed these men as overseers of His church to help lead His people, you as a body of the church.
Who is your pastor and where do you attend?
I would love for you to leave a comment. In your comment, include who your pastor is and where you attend and give your pastor some appreciation by commenting below.
Which makes some good points. Points that we as a member of the body of a church seem to always do. We always seem to do those, and we don't realize doing them, makes our pastor feel unappreciated.

Projection Mapping | January 2020
"Creation" is a visual narrative that explores the idea of the matters emerges from nothingness to existence, from 0 to 1, where energy, consciousness and forms of life begin. The concept of "creation" draws inspiration from the three deities in Hindu triumvirate – Brahman, Vishnu and Shiva, who are responsible for Creation, Preservation and Destruction, respectively. In fact, creator deity is a rather universal belief across religions. Scientists created models such as Big Bang Theory to construct visions based on tools from modern physics. What interests me is our innate fascination with the origin of all matters as human beings and how that sparks our imaginations.
As part of my proposal, the physical artifact to be projected on, the "Perforated Walls", was set up to be a vehicle that conveys the split between solid and void. The cut out circles and the remaining space forms a binary relationship in which one is where the other isn't. This allows me to explore the state of being/existence, particularly the beginning and end of it, the switch between off and on.
The solid/void relationship on the projection surfaces as a physical backdrop plays a key role in how the narrative unfolds. The first scene starts with the opening of the eyes from the void, suggesting the first moment of awakening. The pupil/iris of the eyes then turn into rotating swirls, transitioning from the eyes as the subjects of viewing into the objects that are viewed, and the motors of life begin to turn. Leading to the second scene is the explosion of these entities in each one of the slots, turning darkness into light. Within the void left the pulsating cores, whose energy later grow into active and emissive rays.
The last part zoomed out to a different scale where groups of particles start forming behaviors around the void – the free flowing particles, when they go near the void they get sucked into it and start forming a cluster that would eventually form the next level of identity, from atoms to molecules, from amino-acids to proteins, and from cells to organs.
This project depends on the use of Openframeworks, the ofPiMapper addon and Scene Manager, and my approach to using these tools heavily replies on a system of frame-based timer and mapping the geometry within the (fbo) source files.

Arena Pantanal
Arena Pantanal is a multi-purpose stadium, majorly used for hosting football matches. The stadium is located in Cuiabá, Brazil.
The venue has been built to serve as one of the playing venues of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It replaced the old Estádio José Fragelli (Verdão), which used to be the principal football stadium of the city of Cuiabá.
Verdão was demolished in 2010 and the construction of the Arena Pantanal stadium was started in the month of May in same year. It took almost four years and R$570 million to complete the construction.
The stadium was expected to be ready in 2012 but along with growing delays, the project's budget also grew a lot. The early estimation of the cost was R$342 million.
The arena had a capacity of 41,390 and currently can seat 44,003 spectators with the field size of 108m x 65m.
The stadium hosted its first match on 2 April 2014, between Mixto and Santos in Copa do Brasil in front of 5000 spectators. Arena Pantanal hosted its first match with full capacity on 18 May 2014 when Santos and Atlético Mineiro played a league match at the stadium.
Major Matches
Arena Pantanal has hosted four group matches of 2014 FIFA World Cup. The first match was played between Chile and Australia, which the South American country won by 3 goals to 1.
The second match was held between Russia and South Korea, which ended up in the draw.
Prior to its use for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the venue received much criticism. It suffered a fire in October 2013, due to polystyrene insulation panels catching alight. However, no injuries were reported during the fire.

Reco Biodiesel to continue operating under new ownership
Inside Reco Biodiesel in Richmond, Virginia (Photo: Reco Biodiesel)
In December, Boxwood Partners announced the sale of Virginia American Industries, including VAI's biodiesel refinery Reco Biodiesel located in Richmond, Virginia, to Shamrock Environmental Corp. Boxwood Partners is a boutique middle-market investment bank and was the advisor to VAI on the transaction with Shamrock Environmental, a portfolio company of CenterOak Partners, which is a private equity firm.
Shane Kasper, Reco Biodiesel plant manager, told Biobased Diesel Daily that operations at the biodiesel production facility have been status quo since the acquisition.
"It's still early in the game, but their intention is to run it as before and make money," Kasper said.
Although Reco Biodiesel's website says it has the capacity to produce 5 MMgy, the plant is currently unable to reach that level.
"We can't make that much with the equipment we have in place currently," he said. "Two million [gallons per year] is probably the most we could do."
He adds that, today, the plant is producing at an annualized rate of between 1.5 and 2 MMgy.
"We're not very big, but we're trying to do our part," Kasper told Biobased Diesel Daily. "Used cooking oil is hard to come by, but we still have a supply line. Once fuel prices came back up, we switched to soybean oil for a little while to keep the plant going. We could get some used cooking oil, but not much."
Mike Schleinkofer, president of Reco Biodiesel, said, "Shamrock has been a leading environmental services provider for many years, and we believe the resources they can provide VAI and its employees will greatly help the future growth and development of the company."
VAI was established in 1998 and is the parent company to three additional entities including Florida-based Aqua Clean Environmental Company Inc., Florida Recycling Solutions LLC, and Virginia-based Reco Biotechnology.

Using atomic design principles to systematically design and build a responsive B2B website for Centrica Business Solutions whilst on placement at IBM iX.
We had shown Centrica that we're capable of injecting creativity and unparalleled functionality into the ideas that we created. From this initial meeting, we had set a precedent for the work to follow, and given them a great first impression.
We designed the site using modules, forming the building blocks for the Content Management System (CMS). There were also templates that formed the foundation for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), these would be selected by the user creating the pages.
Invision was used as our main online repository for the flexible modules that made up the website. The online software made it extremely easy to change designs / modules quickly and upload them using the Craft sync plugin.
We created 3 interactive prototypes; desktop, tablet and mobile using InVision, these represented the MVP we were aiming for.
CMS templates were openly editable templates allowing users to create new pages and add specific modules to fill them out.
Modules were the 'building blocks' of the page. Reusable blocks of content, media and functionality.
Using the Inspect Tool to gain critical development snippets of code. The development team could go directly from their native environment in JIRA and access fundamental measurements / dimensions and get snippets of code applicable to specific modules. Another great feature of the Invision software.
From research we realised that the majority of consumers viewing the site would be viewing on a desktop device at work. They were unlikely to view on mobile, yet, we still conformed to responsive design. Ensuring the website was fully functional and smooth across all touch-points.
Working on Centrica Business Solutions relied on efficient multi-agency collaboration. IBM iX were at the centre of the collaboration, working with Manasian and Earnest for branding and content. From a development perspective, Aperto, a development team based in Berlin, were collaborated with to produce the website in a systematic manner.
We bypassed creating an official UI specification document (PDF) - meaning reducing time spent updating and re-exporting it!
Our 'single source of truth' - allowing us to preview prototypes and modules within their various states. It also allowed us to gather feedback through comments and also generate useful code snippets with the Inspect tool.
Saved the design team hours having to rework individual components - symbols allow changes to be made across the whole design effortlessly and quickly.
Short video clips were created to explore the micro-interactions of the website and provide the development team with a visual representation of how we expected the specific modules to react when interacted with.


The Edwardian era or period which corresponds to the French Belle Epoque period, covers the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910. The fashion style that was named after him, only worn by men in that Edwardian time, was influenced by the art and fashions of continental Europe because of the King's love for travel. It featured tapered trousers, long jackets and fancy waist coats.The certain Edwardian style which was wasteful of materials and only affordable by the upper class back at the time was recognized by its cuffs on jacket sleeves and extra length on the jackets. It had great influence on the popular movement of the teddy boys.

dc.description.abstract Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones and signaling molecules. When released into the soil, SLs indicate the presence of a host to symbiotic fungi and root parasitic plants. In planta, they regulate several developmental processes that adapt plant architecture to nutrient availability. Highly branched/tillered mutants in Arabidopsis, pea, and rice have enabled the identification of four SL biosynthetic enzymes: a cis/trans-carotene isomerase, two carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases, and a cytochrome P450 (MAX1). In vitro and in vivo enzyme assays and analysis of mutants have shown that the pathway involves a combination of new reactions leading to carlactone, which is converted by a rice MAX1 homolog into an SL parent molecule with a tricyclic lactone moiety. In this review, we focus on SL biosynthesis, describe the hormonal and environmental factors that determine this process, and discuss SL transport and downstream signaling as well as the role of SLs in regulating plant development. ©2015 by Annual Reviews.

Carlactone is converted to carlactonoic acid by MAX1 in Arabidopsis and its methyl ester can directly interact with AtD14 in vitro.
Strigolactone biosynthesis is evolutionarily conserved, regulated by phosphate starvation and contributes to resistance against phytopathogenic fungi in a moss, Physcomitrella patens.
Recent advances in molecular basis for strigolactone action.
Rice cytochrome P450 MAX1 homologs catalyze distinct steps in strigolactone biosynthesis.


Join the host of The Late Shift, Steven Bell, as he sits down with his special guests, Mystic and mizfan, to take a look back at the just concluded WCW: The Legacy Series. What were their takeaways from the project? How did the narrative they found differ from that which is popularly accepted? Did anything surprising reveal itself over the course of dissecting WCW's life and death?
On top of that look back, we'll also be taking a look forward to WWF: The Legacy Series, set to debut on LOP Radio next week. What do they hope to accomplish with the show? Are they walking in with any preconceived notions? Just how far will this project reach?
It's all about the Legacy as LOP Radio presents to you this special edition taking a look at The Legacy Series as it was and as it shall be.

The Sanitation Project, Laos
The Exodus Travels Foundation
The Exodus Travels Foundation Updates
Since 2012, Exodus have been working closely with Baraka Community Partnerships in the northern province of Luang Prabang, to help address the imbalance of basic necessities such as healthcare, clean water, sanitation through The Sanitation Project.
This is a project we are continuing to implement, even in the face of COVID-19, in an effort to help protect this community from the devastating impacts of the virus. The urgency to provide adequate sanitation through working toilet facilities in the Na San Village, in Luang Prabang Province is more important now than ever before to help protect the local communities during this unprecedented crisis.
Exodus is funding the construction of an individual sanitation block for every one of the 26 households who don't currently have one, using a gravity flow water system, so hygiene, safety, and dignity for people in the community can be restored.
Current legislation advises that the small community of Na San is on lockdown at a community level, not a household level. So, it's great to see the community coming together to build these blocks to help their families for future generations to come. During uncertain times, these inspiring projects help to foster community spirit and encourage a sense of common endeavor, towards a brighter future when the world reopens.
Thanks to our funding and your generous contributions, our contacts on the ground say they are making good progress and are aiming to get the blocks built before the rainy season begins at the end of April.

The statement of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev and the President of Romania at the joint press conference held in Baku on October 29, 2002.
Mr. President,
Distinguished members of the press,
The official visit of distinguished Mr. Ion Iliescu, President of Romania to Azerbaijan is a significant event in the history of our country. It shows the consecutive development of relations between our countries. I am pleased of our meetings and discussions that we held and would like to thank Mr. Iliescu for accepting my invitation and paying an official visit to our country.
I would dare to say that there aroused has emerged the relations of friendship between President Iliescu and me. We have met several times in different circumstances approximately since 1994 till now. The most important thing is that it is the second visit of Mr. Iliescu to Azerbaijan. During this visit we held all-round discussions. At our face-to-face meeting we touched upon many questions and showed that we have the same opinions about different issues. We had an exchange of views about the Romanian-Azerbaijani relations and their future development, the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict which is the most painful problem of Azerbaijan and its solution as soon as possible, restoration of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, assurance of its sovereignty, international terrorism, its dangers, conduction of struggle both by Romania and Azerbaijan against terrorism, the current situation in the Caucasus and region, many international issues and of course the main issue - the Romanian-Azerbaijani relations and their development.
I think that there emerged many valuable ideas especially about the development of the Azerbaijani-Romanian economic relations at the meeting with delegations. President Iliescu and I, value the actions of the Romanian-Azerbaijani joint economic committee that we have established. We have decided that the actions of the committee must speed up so that we can obtain more achievements in our relations. We have discussed many other issues as well. And finally, the agreements signed here today strengthen and expand the normative and legal basis of relations between Romania and Azerbaijan.
I suppose that the statement which has been signed by President Iliescu and me has a special significance. This statement has been devoted to political issues and shows that Azerbaijan and Romania agree in many issues and have the same views about the international and regional problems.
We have signed an agreement on the relations of friendship and cooperation between Romania and Azerbaijan in March 1996, when President Iliescu first visited Azerbaijan. The statement which we are signing today gives us an opportunity to strengthen it more and to carry on the issues in the future on the base of that agreement as well.
I would like to thank President Iliescu once more. I would also like to mention a fact that President Iliescu has brought a large group of businessmen within his visit to Azerbaijan. Our Ministry of Economic Development is holding necessary meetings and discussions with them, and I believe that only by this way we can achieve the development of economic relations.
The floor is yours.

One such bend in history can be found in a refugee-led movement that focused on the Right of Return among tens of thousands of displaced Guatemalans who, for a generation, had been living in refugee camps throughout Southern Mexico. Voices of the Guatemalan movement defended a range of issues, from de-militarization of the country to gender equality within the camps. María García Hernández, co-founder of a refugee women's organization called Mama Maquín, described the standpoint of her group: "The Guatemalan refugee and returnee women are clear about the fact that land is the most important family possession that we have. Land is…a space where we can live and work, defend our rights and pass on our culture, customs and languages to our daughters and sons." Such sentiment and connection to the land resounds with those of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return.
