How Does the ZTE Axon Compare to Other 2015 Flagships?
When people think of ZTE, they don't consider them a top competitor, but surprisingly the company is the fourth highest-selling smartphone manufacturer in North America. ZTE has managed to create a large range of devices that are selling in truckloads, despite a much smaller marketing presence than a company like Samsung or Apple.
The ZTE Axon is another device by ZTE that has the potential to sell in large quantities. Whilst the device may not be getting a lot of buzzes, it definitely deserves a good, hard look. I'll be comparing the ZTE Axon with other devices in a few different categories below.
Besides the Galaxy S6, which uses the incredibly powerful Exynos 7420 SoC, this year's 2015 Android flagship lineup relies heavily on the Snapdragon 810. Unfortunately for LG, the G4 has the less powerful Snapdragon 808.
All flagships this year have 3GB of RAM, however, the ZTE Axon will have 4GB – this is obviously going to allow us to see an improvement in multitasking performance, although the scale of this improvement is currently unknown. As it stands, the jump to 4GB is a decent improvement for ZTE, but it should end up being the standard for high-end devices in half 2. For example, both the Note 5 and the OnePlus Two should come with 4GB of RAM.
The ZTE Axon has no microSD card and 32GB of internal storage and a decently sized 3,000mAh battery. Finally, the Axon has a 5.5-inch LCD 2560 x 1440 display. The 13-megapixel camera on the ZTE Axon seems to be able to produce on par results for a flagship smartphone as well.
In the hardware department, the ZTE Axon easily competes with all other devices, and will even be a relevant choice when paired up against any more upcoming devices later this year.
So far we haven't really had the chance to see if ZTE have any cool software features up their sleeves for the Axon. First hands-on impressions suggest that the Axon will have a very Material Design themed interface, and, for the most part, the ZTE Axon will run and feel like stock Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, albeit with some preinstalled applications.
If you're looking for some big software functionality, ZTE isn't going to deliver, unfortunately. With that being said, the close-to-stock interface and high-end hardware should lead to a buttery smooth user experience.
The ZTE Axon has been announced as a smartphone that will go for $450 SIM free. Contract deals will be revealed once the device has been released. The $450 price point is a bit on the fence between "a really good bargain" and "not so much of a bargain."
On one side of the fence, you'll find the $700 SIM free Galaxy S6, the $650 One M9, and the $650 Xperia Z3+. Even LG, who are known to offer lower prices on their flagships, offers the LG G4 for around $550 SIM free.
Without delving deeper into it, this makes the ZTE Axon look like an absolute bargain, but there is another side to the fence.
For example, the OnePlus Two has been confirmed to cost under $450, so whilst pricing is still unknown, that's going to immediately be less than the ZTE Axon and it is expected to include a Snapdragon 810, 4GB of RAM and decent features all-around. Another interesting 2015 device is the $300 ASUS Zen one – once again, this device will have a decent set of specs, including 4GB of RAM and a 64-bit Intel ATOM processor.
What do we think?
At first look, the ZTE Axon seems like a bargain. Closer research reveals that this isn't entirely true. For now, it's hard to compare the ZTE Axon with other similar priced smartphones until we hear more about them.
So there we have it. The ZTE Axon will run smoothly, it will have high-end hardware, a great camera, good display, a great camera and the latest version of Android. The price tag is also a great talking point, even if it won't be the best deal on the market.

El Ministerio de Ambiente, Agua y Transición Ecológica (MAATE) es la cartera de Estado o ministerio encargada de la política ambiental del Ecuador.

Es la autoridad ambiental del Ecuador, que ejerce el rol rector de la gestión ambiental, que permita garantizar un ambiente sano y ecológicamente equilibrado con el objetivo de hacer del país, una nación que conserva y usa sustentablemente su biodiversidad, mantiene y mejora su calidad ambiental, promoviendo el desarrollo sustentable y la justicia social, reconociendo al agua, suelo y aire como recursos naturales estratégicos.

Historia
El Ministerio del Medio Ambiente del Ecuador, fue creado por el presidente Abdalá Bucaram, el 4 de octubre de 1996 mediante decreto ejecutivo mismo que fue elaborado en la casa de un presidente de una Fundación ambientalista.

El 28 de enero de 1999, se fusionan mediante el Decreto Ejecutivo n. 505 en una sola entidad el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y el Instituto Ecuatoriano Forestal y de Áreas Naturales y Vida Silvestre (INEFAN), dando como entidad resultante el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente posteriormente llamado Ministerio del Ambiente del Ecuador (MAE).

Durante el mandato de Rafael Correa, mediante Decreto Ejecutivo n. 1088 del 15 de mayo de 2008, se reorganizó el Consejo Nacional de Recursos Hídricos (CNRH) para crear la Secretaría Nacional del Agua (SENAGUA), como Autoridad Única del Agua del Ecuador. La SENAGUA fusionó mediante absorción varias instituciones de desarrollo local en materia de recursos hídricos, como la Comisión de Estudios para el Desarrollo de la Cuenca del Río Guayas (CEDEGE), la Corporación Reguladora del Manejo Hídrico de Manabí (CRM), el Centro de Desarrollo del Norte de Manabí (CEDEM) y el Consejo de Gestión de Aguas de la Cuenca del Paute (CG-PAUTE).

El 3 de octubre de 2018, el presidente Lenín Moreno expidió el Decreto Ejecutivo 533 para la fusión de Ministerio del Ambiente y la Secretaría del Agua pero, al cumplirse los 90 días para hacerlo, el MAE y la Senagua no se fusionaron.

Alrededor de un año y medio año después, el 4 de marzo de 2020, mediante el Decreto Ejecutivo 1007, Moreno ordenó nuevamente la fusión del Ministerio del Ambiente y la Secretaría del Agua, creando el Ministerio de Ambiente y Agua (MAAE).  El Gobierno ya tenía la intención de que una sola institución pública se encargue de la política ambiental en Ecuador.

Como estrategia gubernamental para impulsar la Transición Ecológica en Ecuador, el día 5 de junio de 2021 desde Bucay, el presidente Guillermo Lasso emitió el Decreto Ejecutivo nro. 59, que redenomina a esta cartera de Estado como Ministerio del Ambiente, Agua y Transición Ecológica (MAATE); cuyo objetivo es lograr un desarrollo sostenible respetando los derechos de la naturaleza.

From each day use to special occasions, there are different varieties of dresses for ladies they can stuff their wardrobe with. The checks, the prints, and the colors all are worked over and decided on the basis of the style forecast from the style Industry, in order to not let you compromise the fashion ethics and styles, which you have been waiting given that the finish of summer'16.
I utilized to be in advertising and sales and so was 'on show' each day and had to locate clothes that didn't thoughts being crushed sitting in a automobile or behind a desk all day, and usually managed to somehow appear fresh and confident. Earlier, women were only regarded as as style-savvy and more attention was given on women's fashion. I am glad to see this line up of Plus size clothing and will attempt some of the retailers. Simply because of the a number of Benefits and Positive aspects of Acquiring On the web more and more people today pick On the web Purchasing more than traditional shopping. I have purchased a lot of issues on-line which includes ebooks, gemstone jewelry and dresses.
Urban Outfitters is a popular chain of retail retailers in the United States and also has a excellent on-line retailer for fans of on the internet buying. It's difficult to think the models in the photos are over 50 but heck, the clothing is actually gorgeous. My best style tip for women over 50 is to dress in garments that are created well, are fashionable but not trendy, and (most importantly) fit effectively. In order to guess the reputation of an on-line retailer, you can contemplate its ratings and critiques.
Shop in comfort – Without having producing your shopping encounter a dreaded chore, online web sites provides customers the comfort to shop at their comfort. One principal benefit I've noticed with on the internet shopping is that you get the right solution of your selection. I could by no means give away my high, high shoes although (no matter how uncomfortable they might get! If you are a super size woman or man please let us know exactly where you shop for your garments. Looking at your present habits in detail will preserve you from producing similar style mistakes when you go buying this time. I adore online buying because my dog is not permitted in a lot of retailers, even though he is effectively behaved.
Wearing footwear which are as well narrow causes a lot of pain and discomfort, and but most of us do it. As well as truly causing issues by pushing toes out of alignment, squeezing wide feet into shoes which are too narrow also exacerbates pre-current foot difficulties.


In subject close to the works of the Old Masters, this work is perhaps one of Cezanne's greatest still lives. But Cezanne was not interested in conveying the different textures of the objects, as were Dutch 17th-century painters: objects were important to him only as far as they presented clear, three-dimensional forms. The contrasting of different masses, modelled by resonant light, creates a dynamic composition and gives an element of tension to the space. At the same time, the painting is dominated by a balance of form and colour which creates an impression of unity and stability in this material world. Despite the prosaic subject matter, the components of the still life exist in a world of supra-real, essential values. They embody the powerful energy of nature, eternal and yet eternally changing.

Red Rock Lake – Site 5
Closest Access Point: Opeongo Lake (Algonquin Park Access Point # 11)
Distance to Access Point: 18KM (4.5 hours)
Difficulty of Travel From Access Point: Easy/Medium (depending on if you use the water taxi to get up to the Red Rock portage)
Maintenance Level: Regular
Date Visited: August 2022
I'm a big fan of this site. It's big and well laid out. It's on a point in the center of Red Rock and somehow offers great views and a nice sense of privacy at the same time. I stopped here for lunch on my way through, but I would 100% come back and spend a night or two.
Terrain: The site sits at the tip of a small point in the middle of the lake. It's relatively flat. There's a small step up from the lake to the site proper, but after that not much change in elevation (although the thunderbox is up a short hill). The site is enclosed on all sides by forest, including some decent tree cover along the shoreline.
Canoe Landing: The best canoe landing is facing west, just around the point. There's a nice sandy bottom, although there are a few rocks and other underwater obstacles to keep an eye out for. Loading and unloading may require a bit of balance, but for the most part it's a good spot. (There's a second spot on the south face that looks like a canoe landing, keep paddling).
Fire Pit: I really liked the fire pit layout of this one. The pit is towards the back of the site proper. It's well built, and there are plenty of well built benches around it. The only slight knock is that it's so far from the water (I love having my fire pit near the water), but you still have an okay view south.
Tent Sites: This is a big site and you could fit a large group on it. I counted three or four decent spots for tents. The ground was level and the sites were reasonably separate.
Swimmability: I like the swimming options here. There are quite a few spots to slip in, including some nicely laid out rocks right at the tip of the point. The canoe landing area is also a decent place to wade in and out.
Thunderbox: Up a short path behind the site. This is pretty much the only change in elevation on the site, and it's not too much of a rise. The box itself is in good shape.
Accessories: This site is bench Nirvana. There are a couple of very good bench setups here, including a lakeside sorta-semi-circle that helped win this site the Best Moment category in the 2022 Moosie Awards.
Views: The site has semi-obstructed views south and mostly obstructed views every where else. Trees grow along the shoreline between the west shore and the site and are intermittent along the southern shore. Despite this, the site doesn't feel as enclosed as some others that are hemmed in by trees would because the site area is so big.
Notes: I'm a big fan of this site. I would happily stay here for a day or two some time. Red Rock seems like a cool lake to visit as well. The cliffs across from the site are very pretty and I bet it would be a great view from up top.

Despite Strong Harvest To The South, Commercial Salmon Season Slow In Calif. Klamath Management Zone

Though this year's commercial salmon harvest has been better than forecasted in the Morro Bay, Monterey and San Francisco areas, the same can't be said for the catch in the Klamath Management Zone.
Commercial fishermen were 734 chinook shy of meeting the August quota in the California Klamath Management Zone, between the Humboldt south jetty and the Oregon border, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Though the exact numbers aren't available yet, scientists say they have seen a more southern distribution of fish this year.
"Fisheries have been stronger in the Morro Bay, Avila and San Francisco areas, although we don't know for certain why that is," said CDFW environmental scientist Kandice Morgenstern. "We can be speculative in that fish will tend to go where ocean conditions and prey abundance is better, so it's likely that environmental conditions are better on that section of coast."
Commercial vessels had a daily landing and possession limit of 15 chinook per boat, according to the CDFW. The minimum size limit is a total length of 27 inches.
This year's forecast for the Klamath River fall chinook run was about 274,000 adult salmon, Morgenstern said. That's somewhat fewer than last year's forecast, but significantly above what was anticipated in 2016 and 2017. An improved abundance was also forecasted for Sacramento River chinook as well, Morgenstern said.
But, Morgenstern said, whether there is a more southern distribution of fish or whether they're simply not there is unknown at this point. She said scientists won't be able to assess how the populations are doing until they begin to migrate upriver, which typically starts in September.
On Aug. 22, the Associated Press, quoting Morgenstern, reported that commercial salmon catches have surpassed official preseason forecasts by 50 percent with strong harvests in Morro Bay, Monterey and Sacramento.
The rebound comes after three years of low catches that resulted from poor ocean conditions and the state's five-year drought. As a result, federal fishery disasters were declared in 2018, providing relief to fishing communities in California, Oregon and Washington, the AP reported.
According to Noah Oppenheim, the season was set up based on the abundance of fish in the ocean. The Sacramento River stock is healthy this year, he said.
"The Klamath stock is not very healthy," he said. "The opportunity is limited to the north and that's what we expected going into the season."
On Thursday, with a 15-fish-a-day catch limit and two days left, Eureka fisherman David Helliwell said there's no way commercial vessels will reach the August quota. The reason is a lack of fish, he said.
"It appears the body of fish just went south this year all the way to the Channel Islands and they never came up here," he said. "I've been doing this for 50 years and I've never seen a season where the fish never showed up at Fort Bragg."
Typically most of the salmon harvest is found north of Monterey, Helliwell said. It's unusual to find them as far south as the Channel Islands, though occasionally a few fish will find their way down there, he said.
Helliwell said he was also concerned about how the distribution of this year's fall chinook will affect future seasons. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council bases the commercial season on the number of jacks, or young, salmon entering the river, he said.
"They use the jack counts coming up the river to estimate what the population's going to be the following year and design a season on that," Helliwell said.
Helliwell said he and other fishermen look forward to finding out what percentage of Klamath River salmon were caught in the southern part of the state.

Harjit Sajjan, Minister of National Defence:
Hi Kids,
I'm Harjit Sajjan, Minister of National Defence for Canada, and I wanted to talk to you before you watch this great Veterans' Week video.
I know this hasn't been an easy eight months for you because of the Coronavirus. So I want to thank you for doing your part to keeping yourselves and your families safe.
Remembrance Day is an important time to think about our history, and to remember our brave Veterans who fought to protect Canada.
This is also a special time to think about the people who work so hard in the Canadian Armed Forces today, to keep us all safe.
So, I hope you enjoy hearing more about our Veterans in this video. And a special thank you to all of the teachers, families, and friends, who are keeping our history alive and helping you learn it.
And a special thank you to all our Veterans.
SLt Simon Bullock:
I'm sorry I can't be there with you in person today. My colleagues and I from the Canadian Armed Forces appreciate this chance to talk to you about Remembrance Day, and to tell you a bit more about our veterans.
On Remembrance Day, we remember Canada's sailors, soldiers and aviators who have risked, or even lost, their lives so we could live with freedoms, in peace and enjoying our Canadian way of life.
LS Jodie Moase:
We remember people like Sergeant Ernest Smith, also known as "Smokey" who was awarded Canada's highest military honour, the Victoria Cross, during the Second World War.
In October 1944, Smokey got separated from his unit near the Savio River in Italy, but all by himself, drove back 30 German soldiers and destroyed a tank.
Years later, Smokey said "They must have figured there was a whole army there because they could have wiped me out in no time if they'd known I was practically all by myself."
He was a kid from New Westminster British Columbia, who was backed into a corner, and became a one-man army.
On Remembrance Day, we remember people like Smokey who's just one of thousands of Canadians who have sacrificed so much to defend the country we love…
…To make the world a better place.
I'm in the Canadian Armed Forces, and I remember
LCol Melissa Reyes:
…Members who fought in Afghanistan…
Lt(N) Ellie Aminale:
…Sailors who prevented drugs from entering our country…
[CAF Speaker]
…Aviators who helped to protect North American air space…
Sgt Daniel Racette:
…Military medical staff who gave medical care to people who had never seen a doctor before
A/SLt Shannon Delaney:
Some members were injured, while others lost their lives.
We remember all our members who have fallen in the line of duty.
And we think of their families who
… have lost a spouse,
… fathers, sons, mothers or daughters, brothers or sisters.
And I remember, because I hope…
…That, in the future, on this day…
…Someone remembers me.
S1 JC Richards:
Today we remember the generations of veterans who came before us. We remember…
We are the latest generation working to keep our country safe and free. You may even know someone who is part of the military family. Maybe someone like you or your friend's parents or grandparents who have fought, or continue to fight for our freedom.
On Remembrance Day, we honour the stories of our veterans—from victories to defeats.
Not everybody earns a medal in wartime or makes it into the history books.
There are many who people have never heard of, but they too played an important part in protecting our freedom.
Like the 1.1 million Canadians who served in the Second World War…
And the tens of thousands of Canadians who served in Korea, Afghanistan, and in other missions around the world…
…every one of them is important to us and has an important story to tell.
Each of these stories share a common theme: Determination.
Determination to fight for freedom and peace, despite the hardships and personal sacrifices.
Because that's what true heroes do.
Heroes like Captain Nicola Goddard. She was only 26 when she was killed in Afghanistan in 2006 helping to create a brighter future for the people of that country. She was the first Canadian woman combat soldier killed in action.
It's thanks to people like Nicola that today we live in a country that guarantees our rights and freedoms. Their heroism is the reason Canadians enjoy a high standard of living and quality of life.
And that is why I am so proud to wear a poppy. To show that we honour the sacrifices of the members who came before me. To show how proud I am to serve today in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Whether it's far away or on home soil, we can be counted on to keep Canadians and our country safe. Just as our veterans did.
That's the link that ties today's military members to those who came before us. We are all part of the Canadian family. And we are all in this together.
No matter where we're needed – here at home, or beyond our shores– dedicated Canadian Armed Forces members are ready to help.
We remember that there are still wars ongoing...
There are people still struggling for the same rights and freedoms we take for granted…
There are those who still need our help.
That's why I serve.
And that's why I remember.

Bishop Fountain then introduced ACLC and his long relationship with the organization. He spoke passionately of some of the difficulties he has gone through in his ministry and asserted he has gained much through his association with ACLC. He testified that ACLC has made him a better Christian and brought him closer to his savior, Jesus Christ. He also spoke about the local members he'd gotten to know over the years. He stated that when times got rough he found many of them really supported him when other "friends" were trying to tear him down. It was quite moving.
The video, "The Power of True Love" was shown testifying to the power of the Holy Marriage Blessing. The words of Rev. T.L Barrett and his son, Torrey, were powerful and it was easy to see the appreciation they had for Father and Mother Moon's work in America. Then we conducted the Marriage Blessing for all married couples present, in a beautiful rededication .
Antonio Battilocchi, Executive Director of ACLC-CT, introduced Bruce Grodner, National ACLC Director, who explained we can't in the 21st century put God in a box of one denomination or faith. In this age we realize God is bigger than any one religion or denomination.
Many participants stayed nearly another hour sharing and talking.


In today's competitive environment with high consumer expectation, it is decisions that are based on the most current data available that will improve customer relationships, increase revenue, and maximize operational efficiencies. The speed of today's processing systems has moved classical data warehousing into the realm of real time. The result is real-time business intelligence. Business transactions are fed as they occur to a real-time business-intelligence system that maintains the current state of the enterprise. The RTBI system not only supports the classical strategic functions of data warehousing for deriving information and knowledge from past enterprise activity, but it also provides real-time tactical support to drive enterprise actions that react to immediate events. As such, it replaces both the classical data warehouse and the enterprise application integration (EAI) functions. Real-time business intelligence is also known as event-driven business intelligence. In order to react in real time, a business intelligence system must react to events as they occur– not minutes or hours later. This paper introduces an approach to implement real-time business intelligence using dynamic warehouse.

Enterprise Storage Providers Address Cloud Native Operations
cloud-native-storage-ebook-series,feature,
Cloud Native / Storage
27 Dec 2018 9:52am, by Maxwell Cooter
This article is part of a multipart series on cloud native storage. Check back on The New Stack later this week and next for future installments.
The enterprise world is certainly ready for cloud native storage. According to research from Cap Gemini, enterprises are building more than 20 percent of their applications in the cloud, appreciating the speed and flexibility that is being offered by the use of cloud technology.
Allied with this is rapid adoption of cloud native development to help with this process: the use of containerization is rising within enterprises, meaning that companies can react faster to changing market conditions. Cap Gemini predicts that the proportion of new enterprise apps that are cloud native will more than double by 2020.
Therefore, there's little surprise that storage is maturing in order to embrace these demands. The introduction of containers into the enterprise landscape has meant a rethink as to whether traditional storage methods, the on-premise SAN, for example, would continue to be the way forward.
Perhaps the first sign that cloud native storage is making real traction in the enterprise world is that it now appears on Gartner's hype cycle. The company has a clear definition as to what this means: "container-native storage is specifically designed to support container workloads and focus on addressing unique cloud native scale and performance demands while providing deep integration with the container orchestration systems."
Gartner makes the point that the common foundation for such storage systems is a deployment based on a single, software-defined pool of storage, where containerized applications and persistent storage use the same platform, and where Kubernetes acts as the orchestration technology.
But where does this leave traditional storage vendors; companies that have a long history of providing hardware on-premise storage? Can they fit into this world? And can they update their products so that they can cope with the demands of the cloud native world?
According to Julia Palmer, research director at Gartner, there's been a mixed bag of responses from these suppliers. It's interesting how different vendors are reacting to the emergence of cloud, she says. "Some are embracing public cloud and not seeing it as the enemy while others still say that the future in on-prem." It's certainly true that there are a large number of hardware solutions still being shifted but it's definitely not the case that all the traditional vendors are sticking with the established ways.
Take NetApp, for example, a company that has certainly been looking at the impact that containerization has on storage. This is a company that Palmer highlights when she talks about storage vendors that are looking to go down a different path.
NetApp's Ingo Fuchs says that it's a question of how the company is perceived. "The perception is that we are a hardware vendor, but we're a software company that's become a cloud company."
NetApp reacted to the shifting sands of the industry earlier thus year by buying StackPoint Cloud, a Kubernetes specialist, enabling the company to launch its own service, NetApp Kubernetes Service, a Kubernetes platform for multi-cloud deployments.
Fuchs says that this taps into a growing trend for multi-cloud deployments. What we're seeing is that companies are choosing to run one application with one cloud provider; for example, they may be running voice recognition in one public cloud, while using another service for something entirely different.
He says that NetApp is focusing very heavily of application lifecycle management. "The question is: how do you manage all the apps across different clouds and zones, all with a single set of tools."
For Fuchs, this is the role of the traditional storage vendor in the cloud native world, building on its existing expertise but complementing that with a new range of skills.
When it comes to cloud native software, it's clear that the biggest disrupter is Kubernetes itself. It's a technology that has a major impact on the way that storage is handled.
Cloud native software providers are more skeptical however. According to Evan Powell, CEO of MayaData, there's a considerable amount of confusion in the market. "Traditional storage vendors are claiming they provide 'cloud native storage.' They have so distorted the term already that I prefer the term container attached storage to describe what solutions like ourselves and Portworx offer – which is a truly cloud native architecture to deliver storage and data management services."
When it comes to cloud native software, it's clear that the biggest disrupter is Kubernetes itself. It's a technology that has a major impact on the way that storage is handled. According to Powell, there are two ways in which Kubernetes has an impact. First of all, there's Kubernetes and its role in reducing workloads but also in its role as "a platform for the building and operations of distributed software and can be used to deliver storage and data management services to distributed environments."
But second, he says, is the related tooling. "I'm talking about solutions such Istio, Prometheus, Weavescope and others. Together all of these solutions enable storage to be delivered as a set of loosely coupled micro service; benefits to micro services are pretty clear hopefully at least outside of the storage world."
And this has led to a change of approach from storage specialists within user organizations too. As Powell points out, their role is very different now: "Storage specialists now no longer need to provision storage or even do most operations tasks if their end users are using a solution like our MDAP based on OpenEBS or similar solution."
He draws parallels with what happened in computing and IT security. "These specialists become operations architects, responsible for example for helping to curate storage classes that their end users developers consume. This requires an understanding of infrastructure as code or GitOps as well as observability and chaos engineering. Solutions like the open source WeaveScope for observability — which has visibility down to the persistent volumes — as well as the open source Litmus — which is chaos engineering for stateful workloads may be of use."
But the altered role for storage specialists is not the only change that enterprises face. There's also been a shift in the way that storage itself is handled — or rather, in the language in which storage is discussed. As NetApp's Fuchs explains. "There's been a shift to talk about consumption of data and that's led to a change in language when it comes to talking about storage. We used to talk about IOPS and throughput but we don't talk about those anymore, it's all about speed. It's about how quickly can we roll out a new version of a product — can you do it every three months instead of every 18 months?
What other changes can we see ahead? According to Powell, one of the biggest challenges to traditional storage is that they are generally massively slower than not using storage at all — just attaching to fast locally attached disk. "We see quite a bit of users of the OpenEBS project now using it — and related projects — to improve the provisioning and management of what is called Local PVs or persistent volumes. At KubeCon, NetApp spoke about a use case running Cassandra where they basically admitted that no storage whatsoever is needed. So, even NetApp is aware that there is a real issue here."
The landscape is certainly shifting as traditional vendors are finding their priorities are changing. There's much more variety in their offerings as they try to adapt to a new world. Is there still room for a more traditional approach? Put it this way, says Fuchs. "If all you care about is on-prem storage; well, that's an interesting career choice."

Junior Recital: Jackson Wu
Posted on February 25, 2021 July 14, 2021 by Erika Aoki
Jackson Wu, a jazz guitarist from Needham, Massachusetts, will take the stage on March 2, at 7:30 pm at Oberlin's Cat in the Cream Coffeehouse for his Junior Recital. A double degree student in the College and Conservatory, Wu is pursuing his studies in Computer Science, as well as Jazz Guitar under the mentorship of Bobby Ferrazza.
Wu's extravagant program will include a wide range of genres, featuring works by Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Johnny Mandel, and Wu himself. He will be joined by his quintet, Noah Kawaguchi on tenor sax, Abe Gold on piano, Kamran Curlin on bass, and Tim Voet on drums.
Cedar Walton's jazz standard, Bolivia, opens the program. One of the most valued of all hard-bop pianists, Walton brings cogent and inventive melodies with a funky touch to all the instruments. Wu describes the structure of this piece as, "Two different sections that contrast with each other and keep repeating. When you improvise over it, it gives you a lot of ideas. There's a section with really fast changes, giving it a lot of energy. Then there's a modal section where the pace slows down, giving us the opportunity to have fun with the improvisation, complementing each other's voices."
A genre based on improvisation, jazz requires considerable attentive skills and instinctive creativity within a microsecond. It's about making something familiar — a tune that everyone knows — into something fresh, yet personal and intimate to the musician. "There's not much decision making when it comes to how I improvise," Wu said. "I just hear how everyone is playing and I go along with it. We all start off with a strong idea, which is what happens when it's going well, and then we hold on to that idea. The music just happens naturally."
The playlist will shift the mood of the evening into the blues with McCoy Tyner's Blues on the Corner. Tyner is heralded as one of the most important jazz pianists of the past 50 years for his work with the John Coltrane Quartet, as well as his solo leadership. His chord voicings and percussive melodies infuse his compositions with emotional force, and have influenced his countless followers. "I want to work on a strong melody that fills the musical vocabulary," Wu said. His heartfelt blues promises to take you back in time to a New York jazz club in the 70s, sipping on fine whiskey.
Describing the inspiration for his Herbes de Provence, Wu said, "I was thinking of Mumbo UK, and I started playing around with the energy and how it feels. I then turned this into a seven-bar, AABA composition. The title just came to me one night in the Kohl Building."
Wu explained how that jazz can be planned, but also free minded. Although there is a framework to the piece, the improvisation is what gives the music personality and the hint of spice that can only be experienced onstage.
"I want people to be inspired to feel a free flow because the beat, the melody is constantly stepping ahead of itself. It gets you into feeling the groove," Wu said, adding that "This is the final incarnation. I made the first draft in one night, but I've been revising it a lot since the fall of sophomore year."
The evening will close with Wu's arrangement of Johnny Mandel's Emily. Wu said he was inspired by Bill Evans' version, and wanted to try out something different with it. "I explored the three-chord vamp — the idea where three chords repeat as a starting point. I was also inspired by Mick Goodrick, a great guitar teacher and player. His exhaustive books taught me how to voice lead and create a cycle of chords. I take the cycle but change it every time by fifths. This arrangement will be exploring those sounds over the tune."
This concert is an evening you should not miss. The raw power of the lyrics and rhythms captures the spirit of Jackson Wu's edgy, yet thoughtful prowess. "If people are wondering how I'm doing, or if you've seen me once at DeCafe, come out and see how I'm doing!" Wu said with a wholehearted laugh, adding that, "This recital is a sense of how far I've come. The improvement at my instrument, but also my life, growth, and maturity as a person. I want the audience to leave with a pleasant feeling."

Penny spent the year in flux: first she was hot, then she needed a makeover, then she was back-burnered, resurrected, strengthened, shaped up (and not with Spanx) and sent back out to the publishing front lines. But like any challenge, she's stronger for it.
I spent a lot of time working on Ocean Effect, taking in feedback and making it a tighter, more suspenseful story. I couldn't have done it without several great friends and people, as well as the mysterious agents and editors I submitted my manuscript to.
Diane O'Connell, my editor from Write to Sell Your Book, is judicious with the red pen, super smart and insightful. Her Novel Writer's Handbook is an invaluable resource and her wry sense of humor about this industry never fails to provoke a laugh just when I need it.
Hank Phillippi Ryan, one of my favorite authors and all around thoughtful person, whom I met at the NE Crime Bake. Have to admit I was a bit of a fan girl when I met her, asking her to sign her new book, Trust Me. But she is totally down-to-earth, generous with her advice and her time.
Jon Land, another favorite author, whom I had the chance to chat with again at the RI Author Expo recently who asked about my publishing progress. His impromptu request to hear my pitch on the spot and his instant feedback (Have to admit I stuttered) helped tremendously, as did his encouragement and insights on genre.
Check out their books, you won't be disappointed!
Last but by no means least, my sailor buds who provide inspiration, and my friends and family, many of whom cheerfully submitted to my request to pretend to be in a bookstore, read my first page or chapter and tell me if they'd buy the book. Thanks all!
The takeaway for the year? It's an immensely subjective business, and what one agent or editor likes makes another one shudder. So it's all about finding the right one in 2019.

Royal charge: Elephants for George, shopping for Charlotte
Published Wednesday, October 07, 2015
Prince William is determined to stomp out the illegal wildlife trade once and for all so that his children can grow up in a world where rhinoceroses and elephants still exist.
Britain's Duke of Cambridge wants his children to grow up in a world where rhinoceroses and elephants still exist.
The 33-year-old royal wants his son Prince George, two, and five-month-old daughter Princess Charlotte to grow up knowing that people around the world, including himself, did everything they could to stamp out the illegal wildlife trade.
Writing in the Financial Times newspaper, he said: "I cannot imagine what it would feel like if the last elephant or rhinoceros in the wild died."
He added: "And I then had to explain to my children how we let it happen. It would be impossible to reassure them with a straight face that we could still reverse climate change or end intractable conflicts."
Prince William, who is focused on conservation around the world, went on to explain that around 1,000 park rangers have been killed by poachers in the past decade.
He added: "My riposte is that conservation is about people, not just animals. About 80 per cent of revenue received in Africa from tourists comes from watching wild animals, which are the ones most often threatened by poaching."
Meanwhile, the Duke - the grandson of Britain's Queen Elizabeth - reached out to President Barack Obama of the US and President Xi Jinping of China earlier this year to help stop global trafficking.
The two politicians have since pledged to ban domestic ivory markets and to do more to stop the illegal wildlife trade.
Carole Middleton shops for Princess Charlotte
Britain's Duchess of Cambridge's mother Carole Middleton went shopping for her four-month-old granddaughter Princess Charlotte in London over the weekend.
(Bang)
The 33-year-old royal's mum was seen browsing in Trotters Childrenswear on King's Road in Chelsea as she stocked up on cute little dresses and cardigans for the little one, according to photographs obtained by E! News.
Carrying a large bag filled to the brim with ensembles for the four-month-old baby, Carole strutted her stuff along the high street in a pair of patterned cigarette pants and a blazer.
Throwing a pair of dark shades over her eyes, the 60-year-old businesswomen felt the wind in her hair as she pounded the pavement in a pair of sweet little black ballet flats.
It's not known if the ex-flight attendant picked anything up for her grandson Prince George, two, during her shopping spree but she was also seen with a Russell & Bromley bag.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was born into a "traditional" family and won't be allowed to wear a frock until she can walk.
Rachel Riley, Catherine's favourite children's wear designer, said previously: "Because they're a traditional family, I'm sure that she'll wear baby suits for the first year, and then only when she's walking will she then move into dresses."
And the designer thinks that the little princess has a while to wait before she's allowed to even wear two-piece sets.
She added: "Even in terms of separates, I don't think she'll be wearing separates until much later."

MY first contact with the Ramakrishna movement was through Swami Vivekananda. It occurred before the Mission had taken definite form, when all there was to tell of the far-spread work to be done later was a band of wandering sannyasins, waiting for the call, yet half unaware that they were waiting. One of the band said to me years after: "If we had dreamed of the labours that day before us, we would not have spent our strength in severe austerities or taxed our bodies by privations and long wanderings. All that was asked of us, we thought, was a simple life of renunciation, obeying in humble spirit what our Master had taught us."
The first hint of anything beyond this, I learnt from the same source, was a quiet voice heard only by Swami Vivekananda as he lay at the point of death in a Himalayan glade under a rude thatch of dry branches. It said: "You will not die. You have a great work to do in the world." He told it to two fellow disciples with him, and one of them told it to me. But the voice came without a form to give it substance. How could they know that the words spoken were prophecy?
Time proved them to be such. Their fulfilment had just begun, when all unexpectedly I touched the Swami's orbit, now circling a world. My mother, sister, and I had spent the month of June at the Great Fair of 1893 in Chicago, and we were planning lo return for the Congress of Religions in the autumn on our way to Japan and the Orient. A death in the family brought our journey to a halt in a little town in Ohio. Soon after our arrival there the Swedenborgian minister, as a courtesy to strangers, invited us to dine with him. We went. The minister himself met us at the door, his face aglow with enthusiasm. He had just returned from the Congress of Religions and he could talk of nothing else.
He described at length the various sessions of the Congress, dwelling with emphasis on this delegate or that. "But", he continued, "there was one speaker who stood out above all others, because of his learning, his eloquence, and his impressive personality. No other could compare with him except two or three Roman Catholic prelates, and they had sent their best mea." He paused, leaving his brilliant figure without name or nationality. "Who was he?" I asked eagerly. The minister replied quietly: "A Hindu — Swami Vivekananda."
I was prepared to be keenly interested, for the spiritual teachings of India were not unfamiliar to me, Edwin Arnold's Light of Asia had acquainted me with the exalted beauty of Lord Buddha's life and doctrine; I had read and reread Mohini Chatterji's translation of the Bhagavad-Gita, looking up all his references to parallel passages in the Bible; and long hours had been devoted through the previous winter to the study of Max Muller's English version of the Upanishads. I still have the copy, worn and marked, that I used at that time. Thus a gradual orientation had taken place in my mind.
Autumn brought our return to New York. Winter set in with its busy routine, but the memory of the conversation with the Swedenborgian minister still remained vivid. One day, as I was walking up Madison Avenue, I saw in the window of the Hall of the Universal Brotherhood a modest sign saying: "Next Sunday at 3 p.m. Swami Vivekananda will speak here on 'What is Vedanta?' and the following Sunday on 'What is yoga?". I reached the hall twenty minutes before the hour. It was already over half full. It was not large, however — a long, narrow room with a single aisle and benches reaching from it to the wall; a low platform holding reading-desk and chair at the far end; and a flight of stairs at the back. The hall was on the second storey and these stairs gave the only way of access to it — audience and speaker both had to make use of them. By the time three o'clock had arrived, hall, stairs, window-sills, and railings, all were crowded to their utmost capacity. Many even were standing below, hoping to catch a faint echo of the words spoken in the hall above.
A sudden hush, a quiet step on the stairs, and Swami Vivekananda passed in stately erectness up the aisle to the platform. He began to speak; and memory, time, place, people, all melted away. Nothing was left but a voice ringing through the void. It was as if a gate had swung open and I had passed out on a road leading to limitless attainment. The end of it was not visible; but the promise of what it would be shone through the thought and flashed through the personality of the one who gave it. He stood there — prophet of infinitude.
The silence of an empty hall recalled me to myself. Everyone was gone except the Swami and two others standing near the platform. I learnt later that they were Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear, ardent disciples of the Swami. Mr. Goodyear made the announcements at the meetings. After that I attended all the classes and lectures during the Swami's two seasons in New York, but I never came in close personal touch with him. There seemed to be an intangible barrier. Was it created by shyness or a sense of strangeness, or by my elder sister's prejudice? She had no sympathy with my Oriental studies and often said she wished I "could get salvation nearer home".
The meetings began in an upper room; then because of their increasing size they were transferred to the floor below. Later they moved to another house — one in a long monotonous row of dingy boarding houses. It was a heterogeneous gathering at the classes in those shabby lodgings — old and young, rich and poor, wise and foolish; stingy ones who dropped a button in the collection basket, and more generous ones who gave a dollar bill or even two. We all met day after day and became friends without words or association. Some of us never missed a meeting. We followed the course on bhakti-yoga and the course on jnana-yoga. We walked simultaneously along the paths of raja-yoga and karma-yoga. We were almost sorry that there were only four yogas. We would have liked to have six or eight, that the number of classes might be multiplied.
We were insatiable knowledge-seekers. We did not limit ourselves to any one doctrine or scripture. We went to one lecture in the morning, a second one in the afternoon, and sometimes to a third in the evening. Philosophy, metaphysics, astrology, each had its turn. Yet although we seemed to scatter our interest, our real loyalty belonged to the Swami. We recognized in him a power that no other teacher possessed. It was he alone who was shaping our thought and conviction. Even my dog — an Irish setter — felt this. He would stand perfectly still and a quiver would run through his body whenever Swamiji would lay his hand on his head and tell him he was a true yogi.
The faithful group that followed the Swami wherever he spoke were as relentless as they were earnest. If he suggested tentatively omitting a class because of a holiday or for some other reason, there was a loud protest always. This one had come to New York specially for the teaching and wished to get all she could; another was leaving town soon and was unwilling to lose a single opportunity of hearing the Swami. They gave him no respite. He taught early and late. Among the most eager were a number of teachers, each with a blank book in hand; and the Swami's words were punctuated by the tap of their pencils taking rapid notes. Not a sentence went unrecorded; and I am sure that if later any one had made the circuit Of the New York Centres of New Thought, Metaphysics, or Divine Science, they would have heard everywhere Vedanta and yoga in more or less diluted form.
Through the late winter and spring of 1895 the work — carried on without the intermittence of the earlier teaching — gained tremendous momentum and fervour. We divided our interest no longer. It was wholly focussed on the message the Swami had to give. That had become the foundation of our daily living, the stimulus that urged us onward. For several consecutive months class followed class, lecture followed lecture. Now there remained only a final class and a final lecture. Then the last class was over and in a hush of sadness we filed out from the shabby lodging-house, dropping our farewell offering in the basket at the door.
There was still a final Sunday lecture. It look place in the Madison Square Concert Hall — a fairly large hall on the second floor behind the Madison Square Garden, a vast arena used for automobile exhibitions, bicycle races, horse shows, for anything that required space. The building seemed huge at that time, but later New York outgrew it. and it was torn down. The Concert Hall was much used by Glee Clubs, siring quartets, and lectures. I do not know how many it held, but it was full to the uttermost at that closing lecture — every seat, every foot of standing room was occupied.
I believe that was the day on which Swami Vivekananda delivered the lecture on My Master. As he entered the hall from a door at the side of the platform, one sensed a different mood in him. He seemed less confident, as if he approached his task reluctantly. Years after in Madras I understood. He hesitated at all times to speak of his guru. During his early wanderings through South India he refused to reveal his name even, believing he represented him so poorly. Only in Madras, when he came unaware upon his Master's picture, did the words burst from his lips: "That is my guru, Shri Ramakrishna," and tears streamed down his face. So now was he reluctant. He began his lecture with a long preamble; but once in his subject, it swept him. The force of it drove him from one end of the platform to the other. It overflowed in a swift-running stream of eloquence and feeling. The large audience listened in awed stillness and at the close many left the hall without speaking. As for myself, I was transfixed. The transcendent picture drawn overwhelmed me. The call had come, and I answered.
It was on this Sunday that Swami's first volume appeared. For some time the lectures of one Sunday had been for sale on the book table, the next Sunday in pamphlet form. Now a whole collection of lectures on karma-yoga was brought out in a large, thin, closely-printed volume — very different from the edition published later. It was not very beautiful, but the workers were extremely proud of it.
A supplementary meeting in a private house marked the close of the Swami's New York work. In June he went with a group of students to Thousand Island Park and in August he sailed for Europe. The time of hearing was over, the time of pondering and practising had come. As we dwelt in memory on the Swami's teachings and tried from day to day to put them into our life, we came to feet more and more that a mighty comet had swung into our hemisphere, shone for a season in our heavens, and swung out again, leaving a line of light behind it. Its radiance still lingers.
Those who attended Swami Vivekananda's classes and lectures in New York soon grew familiar with a tall, very portly figure who moved about doing everything. We learnt before long that it was Miss Ellen Waldo, a distant connection of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and a person of wide philosophic and general culture. The Swami had given her the Sanskrit name "Haridasi". and it was well chosen. She was truly a "Servant of the Lord" — her service was continuous and untiring. She cooked, edited, cleaned and took dictation, taught and managed, read proof and saw visitors.
When Swami Vivekananda came to New York, he encountered a strong racial prejudice, which created many hardships for him both in his public and in his private life. Among other things it was extremely difficult for him to secure a proper lodging. Landladies invariably assured him that they had no feeling themselves, but they were afraid they would lose their boarders or lodgers if they took an Asiatic into the house. This forced the Swami to accept inferior living quarters. Neither environment nor association was what he should have had. One day, after he had been overnight in one of these dingy lodgings, he said to Miss Waldo: "The food here seems so unclean, would it be possible for you to cook for me?" She went at once to the landlady and obtained permission to use the kitchen. Then from her own store she gathered together cooking utensils and groceries. These she carried with her on the following morning.
She lived at the far end of Brooklyn. The only means of transportation was a jogging horse-car, and it required two hours to reach the Swami's lodging at 38th Street in New York. Undaunted, every morning found her on her way at eight o'clock or earlier; and at nine or ten at night she was on her way home again. When there came a free day, the Journey was reversed. It was Swamiji who took the jogging horse-car, travelled the two hours and cooked the meals. He found genuine rest and relaxation in the freedom and quiet of Miss Waldo's simple home. The kitchen was on the top floor of the house, in front of it the dining-room full of sunshine and potted plants. As the Swami invented new dishes or tried experiments with Western provisions, he ran back and forth from one room to the other tike a child at play.
"In all this close association with Swamiji," Miss Waldo said to me later, "it seems strange that the idea of renunciation never once occurred to me. Nor did I ever think seriously of following him to India. I seemed to belong in America. Yet there-was nothing I would not have done for him. When he first came to New York, he insisted on wearing his orange robe everywhere. It required no little courage to walk up Broadway beside that flaming coat. As the Swami strode along in lordly indifference, with me just behind, half out of breath trying to keep up with him, every eye was turned upon us, and on every lip was the question: "What are they?' Later I persuaded him to adopt more subdued clothing for the street."
One morning the Swami found Miss Waldo in tears, "What is the matter, Ellen?" he asked anxiously. "Has anything happened?" "I seem unable to please you", she replied. "Even when others annoy you, you scold me for it," The Swami said quickly. "I do not know those people well enough to scold them. I cannot rebuke them, so I come to you. Whom can I scold if I cannot scold my own?" Her tears dried at once, and after that she sought scoldings; they were a proof of nearness.
Miss Waldo herself told me of this experience as her own. Romain Rolland tells it of another disciple. Both can be true. The incident could easily repeat itself.
Miss Waldo had had wide experience in teachers. She had sat at the feet of many during her long pursuit of truth, but sooner or later they had all fallen short in some way. Now the fear was in her heart that this new Hindu Swami might prove wanting. She was always watching for a sign of weakness. It came. She and the Swami were together in a New York drawing-room. The New York Swami Vivekananda knew was very different from the New York of today. The streets then were lined with monotonous blocks of brown stone houses, one so completely like very other that a visiting artist of note once asked: "How do you know when you are at home? You could as well be in the house next door."
Each of these narrow, but deep houses held on the first floor a long narrow drawing-room, with high folding-doors at one end, two large windows at the other, and between them a mirror reaching from floor to ceiling. This mirror seemed to fascinate the Swami. He stood before it again and again, gazing at himself intently. In between he walked up and down the room, lost in thought. Miss Waldo's eyes followed him anxiously. "Now the bubble is going to burst", she thought. "He is full of personal vanity." Suddenly he turned to her and said: "Ellen, it is the strangest thing, I cannot remember how I look. I look and look at myself in the glass, but the moment I ' turn away I forget completely what I look like."
It was during this first visit to America that the Swami's Raja-Yoga took form. The greater part was dictated to Miss Waldo. She look it down in long hand. Those cherished hours of work on it were specially happy ones for her. She often spoke of them. Each day when the Swami's meal had been prepared and her tasks in the kitchen were done, she would come up to the back parlour where Swamiji lodged; take her seat at a table, on which stood an open ink-well; and dip her pen in the ink. From that moment until the work was laid aside for the day, her pen was kept wet, to catch the first rush of words that fell periodically from the Swami's lips. Sometimes in seeking for an English equivalent for the Sanskrit word in an aphorism, he would sit in concentrated silence for fifteen or twenty minutes — but the pen was not allowed to dry. The burst of dictation might come at any instant.
When the manuscript was completed, it was entrusted to Miss Waldo to put into print, but many distresses and heartaches lay in wait for her before publication was accomplished. Another devoted follower of the Swami borrowed the manuscript, carried it to London, and brought it out there, believing it was to the Swami's advantage to have it appear in England. For the time this blocked the American edition, and it was only possible to have an American edition by adding the glossary and other matter.

TARMAC HELPS BUILD NEW WATCH HUT
Monday 3rd August 2015
A new wildlife watching hut was unveiled last weekend during an open day held at Farndon Willow Holt Nature Reserve.
The hut has replaced the much loved 'Watch Hut' that was burned down by vandals five years ago. The new facility is larger and far more substantial, built with fire retardant cladding and elevated on pillars, above the flood line. The new hut has been long awaited and will be well used again by the Wildlife Watch children's group and the local community.
The nature reserve, which is managed by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust features a traditional willow holt along the River Trent, renowned for its collection willow species. Native wildlife harbours within the many habitats including the willow woodland, marshes and water meadows.
Erin McDaid, Head of Communications & Marketing at Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust said: "The opening of this new hut marks the culmination of years of hard work by local volunteers and staff at the Wildlife Trust. The construction of the new hut would not have been possible without the fundraising efforts by volunteers and the contributions of key funders, such as Lafarge Tarmac."
Tarmac supported the hut by donating £10,000 through the Landfill Communities Fund. This grant was approximately one third of the total budget needed to rebuild the facility.
Tim Deal, Tarmac Estate Manager, Central East said: "We are delighted to support the Farndon Wildlife Hut. The opening of the hut will enable improved accessibility of watching wildlife across the site."
Tarmac is committed to supporting local communities, including projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.

The ASPCA's Star-Studded and Fur-Filled Live-a-thon Gives More Hope to Animals In Need
Yesterday, in honor of Giving Tuesday 2017, the ASPCA hosted our first-ever Giving Hope Live-a-thon, an all-day livestream on our Facebook® channel. The event was hosted by the ASPCA's Interactive Marketing Vice President, Luke Franklin, and included nine hourly livestream segments that spotlighted various ASPCA life-saving programs. The event was held in partnership with Animal Planet, as well as Subaru of America, Inc., who generously offered a donation match up to $25,000 for the day.
Thanks to an outpouring of support from our members, we reached our $25,000 goal before 3:00 P.M.—with hours still left in the day! Even with our match met, the donations from friends and supporters around the country continued to come in during the remainder of the event, showing the incredible commitment of animal lovers everywhere.
"Our first-ever ASPCA Giving Hope Live-a-thon brought vital exposure and support to vulnerable animals and reflected an enthusiastic level of compassion and commitment throughout the country," said Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President and CEO. "I'm grateful to our partners Subaru of America, Inc. and Animal Planet, as well as to everyone who helped give these animals a much-needed voice."
In case you missed the livestream, the highlights from the day included:
Puppy playtime! We started off the day with some of the ASPCA Adoption Center's adorable residents and an introduction from Luke.
Renowned actress Edie Falco of The Sopranos® stopped by with her dog, Sami. Edie Falco kicked off the second segment to talk to us about her personal experience with adopting a pet, an in-depth look at the truth behind puppy mills, and the life-saving importance of adoption.
Disaster preparation advice and a look into the life of a newly adopted Hurricane Harvey survivor, Zeus. The Director of Planning and Field Operations for the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response team (FIR), Joel Lopez, took a moment to discuss planning ahead for natural disasters, and we caught up with Zeus and his family.
Behavior training with Travis Brorsen, host of Animal Planet's My Big Fat Pet Makeover. Viewers were given an in-depth look at how behaviorists work with pets to teach them good habits. Travis also provided tips on how to keep pets fit, healthy, and not a candidate for a big fat pet makeover!
Kitten bottle feeding, playtime and a slum-purr party at the ASPCA Kitten Nursery! This segment included a look into all of the hard work that goes on at our Nursery and a focus on our Kitten Foster Program in Los Angeles—and, of course, adorable kittens!
Storytime at the Gloria Gurney Canine Annex for Recovery and Enrichment (CARE). We took time to read to some of our long-term residents at CARE to highlight the ASPCA's Storytelling Program with help from Allie Rizzo who runs @TheMotherofDogs.
A spotlight on senior pet adoption with Mervin the Chihuahua and Chloe Kardoggian! These two Instagram celebrities took time out of their busy schedules to discuss the importance of senior pet adoption and answer questions from viewers.
Adoptable senior dogs with award-winning animal advocate and host of Animal Planet's first-ever, Puppy Bowl Presents: The Dog Bowl, Jill Rappaport, and Animal Planet Puppy Bowl "Rufferee," Dan Schachner. In another segment focused on senior pets, Jill Rappaport and Dan Schachner helped spotlight two of the ASPCA's adoptable senior dogs and discussed why senior pet adoption is so important.
A final puppy playtime with transported puppies who were rescued from St. Croix in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. What better way to end the day than with puppies! Tweedle, Dee, Tess and Jonah recently came to us all the way from the island of St. Croix, and they closed our last segment with a well-deserved (and incredibly adorable) playtime.
For everyone who helped make this exciting day possible, including Animal Planet and Subaru of America, Inc., we are incredibly grateful. We couldn't have done it without supporters like you, and we are thrilled to have been able to further spread awareness about the life-saving programs that you help fund every day. We are hopeful that the impact of this day will continue to inspire more people to give back to animals in need year-round.

Zimbabwean activist and opposition leader dies of cancer

HARARE – A young Zimbabwean thrust into anti-government activism while searching for his missing journalist brother has died of colon cancer, just as well-wishers had raised money to get him into surgery.
Patson Dzamara, 34, died Wednesday, according to Nelson Chamisa, leader of the MDC Alliance opposition party leader. Chamisa said he is "devastated" by the death of Dzamara, who was a member of the party's executive.
Dzamara came into the public spotlight when he became the leading voice in the search for his brother, Itai, a journalist and activist who relentlessly challenged former president Robert Mugabe at a time when many Zimbabweans were afraid of confronting the ruler, who was toppled from power in 2017 and later died. The journalist, who was abducted from a barbershop in 2015, is still missing.
Dzamara famously walked up to Mugabe at an Independence Day event in 2016 holding a placard that said "Independent but not free. Where is my brother Itai?" Dzamara was whisked away by Mugabe's security guards, who allegedly assaulted him.
Dzamara embarked on street protests and broadened his activism to include demands for democratic reforms and improved public health care. He was arrested and detained for his protests, which continued into President Emmerson Mnangagwa's rule. Mnangagwa succeeded Mugabe in 2019 and his rule has been marked by accusations of human rights abuses similar to those alleged during Mugabe's tenure.
Dzamara's death highlighted the challenges facing Zimbabwe's health care system. Dzamara did not have enough money to pay for urgently needed surgery at a private facility when he was diagnosed with cancer of the colon. Such surgery was not possible in Zimbabwe's public health system which is plagued by widespread shortages and frequent strikes by doctors and nurses.
More than $14,000 had been raised for Dzamara and he was due for surgery when he died, said Nigel Chanakira, a local businessman who was part of the fundraising effort.
