« City of Charlotte Gives State of North Carolina a Black Eye | Main | Have a Grievance Against the Government? "Don't Pay Your Taxes!", says former N&R Editor »
A Major Change in North Carolina
The Great Blackout in New York City during 1977 is a fairly vivid memory. Massive looting and instances of arson took place. That type of event leaves a lasting impression. The mayor at the time was Abe Beame. Weak Democratic leadership had followed weak liberal Republican leadership under John Lindsay, during whose mayoralty the city's welfare loads swelled dramatically.
1,616 stores were looted or damaged during the Great Blackout. There were 1,037 fires and 3,776 people arrested. 31 neighborhoods were affected. It was massive.
Limp-wristed, weak-minded, unprincipled leadership invites this type of mayhem. New York was an awful place at that time.
Fast forward to Charleston, SC during 1989. Hurricane Hugo mowed over the city. Charleston's black police chief, Reuben Greenberg, explicitly communicated to city residents that he had directed his police officers to beat any looters they encountered with riot sticks. There were no looters after Hurricane Hugo.
What happened this week in Charlotte is having a profound effect. It changes one's perception of the city and state in which you reside. It could have easily happened in Greensboro.
Charlotte and North Carolina can no longer be regarded as wholesome, peaceful places where citizens can feel secure and safe. Now, instead, we have the New South. In Charlotte, NC and in Greensboro, we see leadership that is much closer to John Lindsay and to Abe Beame than it is to Reuben Greenberg.
The Obama presidency, the breakdown of the black family and many decades of the welfare state have absolutely ruined the African-American community.
It was shocking to see the degree of barbarism and savagery in the Queen City. But then we learned that Charlotte's idiotic mayor explicitly turned down support from the state. She was thereby inviting the riots.
Meanwhile, a couple of the state's Historically Black Colleges and Universities originated some protests. Those bastions of state-sponsored segregation apparently are not working their students hard enough.
The demographics of Charlotte (and similar cities) are suddenly very worrisome. The 2010 census reveals the city is 35% black; and is otherwise majority-minority. The percentages of minorities in Charlotte have been creeping upward over the years. Those kinds of demographics make it highly unlikely that the city can have good political leadership. It is past its "tipping point"; and that foreshadows further decline.
But this week in North Carolina, the unthinkable has happened. Our self-conception as a state can never be the same now that we know what can happen in our urban areas. This is a problem that needs to be fixed politically; and it seems doubtful that Charlotte is capable of fixing herself. In fact, she likely has no clue.
Protest>">http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/264278/protest-thugs-and-real-evil-charlotte-daniel-greenfield#.V-V7qNgeu7w.facebook">Protest>
Keith Lamont Scott was scum.
He had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in two different states and convicted of assault in three states. He had been hit with "assault with intent to kill" charges in the 90s. His record of virtue included "assault on a child under 12" and "assault on a female."
The media spin; "Family and neighbors call Scott a quiet 'family man.'"
Nothing says "quiet" like "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill" and nothing says "family man" like assaulting women and children.
Keith Lamont Scott, the latest martyr of Black Lives Matter and its media propaganda corps, was shot while waving a gun around. He had spent 7 years in jail for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."
This vicious monster's career of crime ended when he was shot by Brentley Vinson, an African-American police officer, protecting himself from the latest rampage by this "quiet family man."
Brentley Vinson is everything that Scott isn't. The son of a police officer, Brentley dreamed of following in his father's footsteps. He used to organize his football team's bible studies and mentored younger players. Former teammates describe him as a "great guy" with "good morals." His former coach calls him a "natural leader" and says that, "We need more Brent Vinsons… in our communities."
Except that Obama, Black Lives Matter, the media, the NAACP and everyone else going after this bright and decent African-American officer has decided that what we really need are more Keith Lamont Scotts. And the streets of Charlotte are full of "Scotts" throwing rocks at police, assaulting reporters and wrecking everything in sight in marches that are as "peaceful" as Scott was a "quiet family man."
That's what Hillary Clinton wanted when she tweeted that, "We have two names to add to a long list of African-Americans killed by police officers. It's unbearable, and it needs to become intolerable."
What exactly should be intolerable? An African-American police officer defending his life against a violent criminal who happened to be black? Should black criminals enjoy a special immunity? The greatest victims of black criminals are black communities.
Whom does Hillary Clinton imagine she's helping here? Instead of standing with heroic African-American police officers like Vinson, she's championing criminal scum like Scott.
Tim Kaine, Hillary's No. 2, wants us to think about Scott's family. We should do that. Scott's brotherannounced on camera that all "white people" are "devils." Timmy should check to see if he can get an exemption from white devildom. But if there are any white devils, it's men like Kaine and women like Hillary who enable the worst behavior in a troubled community while punishing those who try to help.
Every time the lie about "peaceful" protests is repeated, another black community becomes unlivable.
Twenty police officers have been injured and National Guard troops have arrived to deal with all those "peaceful" protests. Protesters chanted, "Black Lives Matter" and "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" before throwing things at police and then peacefully shooting each other. Stores had their windows broken and decorated with Black Lives Matter graffiti. A Walmart was peacefully looted and trucks were torched.
A police officer was peacefully hit by a car. Another was peacefully hit in the face with a rock. Mobs besieged and attempted to break into hotels. Reporters were attacked and a photographer was nearly thrown into a fire. White people were targeted by the racist Black Lives Matter mob and assaulted.
But all these peaceful rioters are probably just quiet family men too.The peaceful protests are as big a lie as the "bookish" Keith Lamont Scott reading a book in his car. Police had no trouble finding a gun. They couldn't have found Scott anywhere near a book. The only thing he could have done with a book is try to beat someone to death with it. Maybe a child.
Scott wasn't a quiet family man; he was a violent criminal with a horrifying vicious streak. He and the rest of the Black Lives Matter rioters remind us of the monsters that we need dedicated police officers to protect us from.
The spin on what happened between a deranged black criminal and a courageous black police officer fell apart as fast as the Freddie Gray case, where black police officers were targeted and a city terrorized over conspiracy theories relating to the accidental death of a drug dealer.
The claims of racism are absurd. Not only was Scott shot by an African-American police officer, but Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney, who has taken the lead in defending him, is also African-American.
Are we supposed to believe that an African-American police officer and an African-American police chief are racists or that these two black men took the lead in a genocidal conspiracy to kill black men?
That's the laughable premise of the racist Black Lives Matter hatefest that alternates between "Stop killing us" street theater and violent assaults on police officers, reporters and anyone in the area.
But the truth doesn't matter. Black Lives Matter rioters are still chanting, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" long after the Michael Brown lie fell apart. They're holding up signs reading, "It Was a Book." The lie is backed by some of the biggest media corporations in the country, by $130 million from George Soros and the Ford Foundation, by Barack Hussein Obama and by Hillary Clinton.
These are the malign forces destroying Charlotte, as they trashed Baltimore. On the ground there are the vulture community organizers of Black Lives Matter, funded by the left, who parachute in to organize race riots, behind them are the reporters who sell the spin live on the air and the photographers who capture glamor shots of the racist rioters, and after them come the lawyers of the DOJ out to ruin, terrorize and intimidate whatever law enforcement survived the riots.
They did it in Ferguson and a dozen other places. Now they want to do it in Charlotte.
They want to do it because they hate white people and black people. They hate peace and decency. They hate the idea of people getting up in the morning and working for a living. They hate the idea of good officers, white and black men and women, like Brentley Vinson, who genuinely believe in doing the right thing. They want unearned power. They demand unearned wealth. And they thrive on destruction.
This is the real evil in Charlotte. And we need to stand up to it. From the ghetto to the manors of the liberal elite from burning cars to pricey restaurants in exclusive neighborhoods, it plots against us.
It is a lie repeated a million times. Sometimes the lie is simple. Other times it's sophisticated. But the way to fight it is to begin with the truth.
The truth is that Keith Lamont Scott was a violent criminal who came to a bad end because of his own actions. Just like Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and too many other Black Lives Matter martyrs to count.
The truth is that everything Black Lives Matter does reminds us of why we need police officers.
The truth is that this is not about race, but about those who want to build and those who want to destroy. It's about the difference between Brentley Vinson and Keith Lamont Scott.
It's about what kind of country we want to be. Is it a country that celebrates a young black football player who chose to follow in his father's footsteps, who organized bible study and helped others, who risked his life to keep other people safe. Or is it one that celebrates Keith Lamont Scott, who assaulted a woman, a child and anyone else he could get at, who terrorized three states and died as he lived.
Obama and the left want a nation of Keith Lamont Scotts. But now it's our turn to choose.
Posted by: Fred Gregory | 09/24/2016 at 12:09 AM
Great article, Fred.
The irrationality on the left, and within major portions of the black community, are simply unacceptable. The political mischief and destruction they seek are also unacceptable.

DAVE & DUJANOVIC
Dunkin' Donuts drops the "Donuts" from its name
BY MARK OLIVER
After 68 years, Dunkin' Donuts is changing its name. Starting in January, 2019, America's most popular donut company is going to be plain old Dunkin'.
The new branding follows on the heels of countless other recent name changes for major companies. Just two days earlier, Weight Watchers renamed itself "WW", and over the summer, "IHOP" temporarily changed its name to "IHOB", or "International House of Burgers".
Dunkin' says that their name change is meant to reflect a growing focus on beverages. 60% of the company's sales comes from beverages like coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. In a press release, they said that the name change was meant to "transform the company into the premier beverage-led, on-the-go brand."
The donuts won't be going away, but the name change is going to come with a few changes to the menu. One of the big changes coming up, Dunkin' says, is a new menu item they call "Donut Fries".
Dave & Dujanovic on the Dunkin' Donuts name change
Not everybody's thrilled, though, with the new name change. KSL Newsradio's Dave & Dujanovic weighed in on the air, and Debbie Dujanovic says she's sick of millennial marketing campaigns ruining everything from her childhood.
But Dave says that dropping "Donuts" from the name isn't going far enough. As far as he's concerned, they need to drop the donuts. "Dunkin' Donuts have the worst donuts in the world," Dave says. "Why would you highlight the fact that your donuts are on the menu when you make terrible donuts?"
If you missed Dave & Dujanovic on KSL Newsradio at 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM, you can still hear everything they said – and our listener's votes for Utah's best donut place – by listening to the Dave & Dujanovic podcast:
Dave & Dujanovic can be heard weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon on KSL Newsradio. Users can find the show on the KSL Newsradio website and app, as well as Apple Podcasts and Google Play.

Afghan National Army soldiers hold rocket-propelled grenade launchers as they keep watch near the scene of an attack in Kabul on April 15, 2012. The capital came under coordinated attack Sunday, with explosions and gunfire rocking the diplomatic enclave as militants took over a hotel and tried to enter parliament.
(CBS News) The Taliban today claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks across Afghanistan that continue.
The insurgents say their strikes in Kabul and three other cities herald the beginning of a new spring offensive.
CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports the co-coordinated attacks included both gunmen and suicide bombers.
Separate assaults in the capital targeted NATO bases, the Afghan parliament and several embassies, including the U.S. compound.
Afghan forces used assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades to try to dislodge the handful of Taliban fighters who took positions in high buildings, and fought for more than seven hours.
There were also attacks against NATO bases and government facilities in three other cities.
A Taliban spokesman said it was the start of the "spring offensive," and retaliation for U.S. troops burning Korans, urinating on bodies, and last month's killing of seventeen civilians by a lone Army sergeant.
The attackers managed to penetrate what is supposedly a "ring of steel" around the Afghan capital, put in place two years ago and also breached last September when Taliban fighters managed to hit the U.S. embassy.
An Afghan government minister blamed forces from what is known as the Haqqani network, an offshoot of the Taliban headquartered in Pakistan.
"One has to be concerned about seven simultaneous attacks countrywide. It does show a certain resilience by the adversary. In the end, there may very well be more casualties of insurgents than innocent civilians or government troops," said Michael O'Hanlon with the Brookings Institute.
In a written statement the international forces commander, U.S. General John Allen said he was "enormously proud" of the Afghan response: "They were on scene immediately, well-led and well-coordinated."
Sunday's gunfire echoed well into the night. The Taliban spokesman said the attacks had been planned for months and promised more there were more to come.

New home found for 'dog tag' exhibit honoring those killed in Vietnam War
by nadignewspapers@aol.com · December 10, 2015
After a nearly 3-year search, the National Veterans Art Museum, 4041 N. Milwaukee Ave., has found a new home for its "Above and Beyond" exhibit that honors all of the U.S. military personnel killed in the Vietnam War.
Plans call for the memorial exhibit to be on display at the Harold Washington Library Center, 400 S. State St., from Feb. 20, 2016, to April 15, 2020.
The exhibit comprises of more than 58,000 hand-stamped replicated dog tags of every U.S. soldier killed during his or her service to the country during the war. The approximately 440 square-foot- exhibit is designed to hang from a ceiling, as a stainless steel wire is used to hold each dog tag in place.
The museum first displayed the exhibit in 2001 at its Near South Side facility at 1801 S. Indiana Ave., but the dog tags had to be placed in storage after the museum relocated to the Six Corners commercial district in 2012.
Museum chairman Lionel Rabb said that the new facility did not have the space to accommodate the hanging of the exhibit and the subsequent crowds which it would have attracted. "People call everyday looking for it," Rabb said. "It's a very powerful piece."
The exhibit was commissioned by the museum and created by veterans Rick Steinbock, Ned Broderick, Joe Fornelli and Mike Helbing. The museum's roots date back to 1981 when a group of Vietnam veterans put together an art exhibition depicting their experiences in Vietnam, leading to the formation of the Vietnam Veterans Art Group, which 15 years later helped open the museum on Indiana.
"Chicago Public Library is extremely proud to feature the 'Above and Beyond' exhibit at the Harold Washington Library Center," library commissioner Brian Bannon said. "It is so important that the people of Chicago see their library as a place where ideas are brought to life and shared, whether it be through a book, picture, story or a highly impactful piece of art."
The museum is conducting an inventory of the dog tags, and new ones will be created if any names of those killed in the war have been left out, Rabb said.
The installation of the exhibit at the library is being funded through grants from the Pritzker Military Museum and Library and the Rabb Family Foundation.

Mercury Security & Facilities Management in Christmas charity drive: VIDEO REPORT
With Christmas just around the corner, staff from Northern Ireland's largest independent facilities management company,Mercury Security & Facilities Management, have been busy helping those less fortunate with a special Christmas charity drive in aid of the Cancer Fund for Children.
Each week in Northern Ireland, three children and young people aged 0-24 years old will be diagnosed with cancer. The Cancer Fund for Children aims to help, guide and support families affected by cancer at home, in their community and during treatment. Their team also works hard to help bereaved families cope with the pain of losing a child to cancer.
Lisburn based Mercury organised a fundraising day which saw staff don their favourite Christmas jumpers and record their very own version of Dean Martin classic, 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland' to raise money for the charity.
MSFM CEO, Frank Cullen, explained why it was important for the company to give back at this time of year:"Christmas is a really special time for everyone and especially for children who may be looking forward to a visit from Santa Claus. However, we believe that the festive season is also a time to remember those less fortunate than ourselves who may be going through very difficult circumstances at this time of year.
"We're very proud to be able to support fantastic charities such as the Cancer Fund for Children and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff for all of their hard work and effort in organising our fundraiser this year.
"The winter months can be difficult for a lot of people in Northern Ireland, so we are encouraging all of our staff, clients and other businesses to get involved and help brighten up this Christmas for someone who needs it!", added Mr. Cullen.
Sarah Clements, Corporate Fundraiser at the Cancer Fund for Children said: "Christmas is a time for joy and happiness for many but for families living with a cancer diagnosis it can also be a very stressful and isolating time. Children can spend long periods of time out of school and away from friends and class mates during treatment. They are often unable to attend festive events like grottos and pantomimes due to the risk of infection. For parents the emotional impact of their child's cancer diagnosis can place a huge strain on relationships, whilst financial pressure from increased heating bills and travel costs take a toll.
"At Cancer Fund for Children our mission is to support families, so they don't have to face cancer alone. We do this by providing practical, financial and emotional support as well as free short breaks to help families cope with the impact cancer has on their lives. But we can't do this without the support of local businesses like Mercury Security and Facilities Management. We receive less than 0.5% of our income from Government funding and are so grateful to Mercury for taking part in our All Wrapped Up Christmas jumper campaign. By pulling on their Christmas Jumpers and spreading some festive cheer they really have made a difference to the lives of local children and families living with cancer," she added.
Those wishing to support the Cancer Fund for Children can find out how by visiting their website at www.cancerfundforchildren.com/

Stigmasterol retards the proliferation and pathological features of Trypanosoma congolense infection in rats and inhibits trypanosomal sialidase in vitro and in silico.
Aminu R, Umar IA, Rahman MA et al.
Department of Biochemistry, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria.
Stigmasterol has been reported to possess antitrypanosomal activity using in vitro model but information on the in vivo antitrypanosomal effects which is necessary in drug development process has not been evaluated. Hence, the present study investigates the in vivo effects of stigmasterol against T. congolense in addition to its inhibitory effects of trypanosomal sialidase. Stigmasterol, at 100mg/kg BW, did not significantly (p>0.05) reduce the progression of T. congolense infection in animals but a 200mg/kg BW stigmasterol treatment significantly (p<0.05) reduced the parasitemia, although, it did not completely eliminate the parasite from the bloodstream of infected animals. However, the stigmasterol treatments significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated the T. congolense induced anemia as well as hepatic and renal damages. Furthermore, the T. congolense-associated increase in free serum sialic acid with a corresponding decrease in membrane bound sialic acid were prevented, though insignificantly (p>0.05), by the 200mg/kg BW treatment. Subsequently, in vitro enzyme kinetic studies revealed that stigmasterol is an uncompetitive inhibitor of a partially purified bloodstream T. congolense sialidase with an inhibition binding constant of 356.59μM. Using molecular docking studies, stigmasterol formed a single hydrogen bonding interaction with a major residue (D(63)) at the catalytic domain of T. rangeli sialidase with a predicted binding free energy of -24.012kcal/mol. We concluded that stigmasterol could retard the proliferation and the major pathological features of T. congolense infection whilst the anemia amelioration was mediated via inhibition of sialidase.

Q: Glimpse timeline missing details Does anybody know why the timeline in Glimpse would be missing all of the details between the Begin Request and End Request events?
I've made sure I have debug="true" in my web.config, but that doesn't seem to help.
Some additional details:

*

*MVC3 app

*Using Sitecore CMS

*Glimpse version 1.3

I would give more details, but just not sure what is/isn't relevant.
I can't find anybody reporting this same issue, so not sure what could be causing it.

A: Be sure that you have installed Glimpse.MVC3 which augments the Timeline tab with information about the MVC3 execution pipeline.

"I am proud and confident about the money I get," says Deepika.
Padmaavat released in India today
New Delhi: Did Deepika Padukone really get paid more than her "Padmaavat" co-stars Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor? "Yes," she said, during a television show, news agency IANS reports. "How much were you paid for "Padmaavat?", followed by, "Were you paid more than Ranveer and Shahid?" Deepika Padukone, who was accompanied by her sister Anisha Padukone to the show, didn't answer the first part of the question, but for the second part, she said, "Yes". Deepika stars as Rani Padmini of Chittor in this year's much-anticipated film "Padmaavat" which released on Thursday. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film hit the screens amid huge protests.
A couple of months ago, during "Padmaavat" promotions, she was asked about her remuneration to which she said, "Talking about my remuneration isn't exciting. But I am proud and confident about the money I get. You are comfortable with what you are paid. But what makes me happy is that they (producers) have invested so much money in a film which has a poster featuring me on it. That makes me proud," reported PTI.
Earlier, during a media interaction at MAMI Mela in Mumbai, she had said, "I am not unhappy with what I am being paid. For me it's important that I do good work. Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir have been around for so long. They are in a different league. But I think there should be some semblance when it comes to the current generation of stars."
The "Padmaavat" actress has given hits like Bajirao Mastani, Piku, Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Ram-Leela in the past and is said to be one of highest paid actress in Bollywood.
"Padmaavat", which was released today, is Deepika's second period film after Bajirao Mastani and also her third collaboration with actor Ranveer Singh and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The truth is that each of us hands others over to suffering, especially those close to us. Intentionally or unknowingly we betray as Judas or deny as Peter. We overprotect, cling too tightly, or hold unrealistic expectations of people we profess to love. Judas handed Jesus over to suffering partially because he wanted to force Jesus to become a political Messiah; Peter denied knowing Jesus because the cost of discipleship would be too much for him.
When we are willing to confess that we often hand those we love over to suffering, even against our best intentions, we can experience God's forgiving love. When we, like Peter, allow Jesus to look upon our guilt with love and mercy, our hearts can be purified and consoled. In turn, we will be more ready to forgive those who, often against their will, are the causes of our pain.
Lord, help me to understand the ways I may be causing others to suffer; help me to let your gaze draws my heart more deeply.
Tenth Avenue North's song, "Healing Begins," can be a way to help let Jesus' gaze shine upon us with mercy.

Last week at HP Discover in Barcelona, Spain, HP unveiled a revolutionary new member of the Moonshot platform called the Converged System 100 for Hosted Desktops designed exclusively with AMD for Citrix XenDesktop. This new architecture is unlike anything else the industry and Citrix was there side-by-side on the show floor unveiling this new jointly designed platform to customers and partners. The interest from attendees was unbelievable and the simplicity of this new platform with XenDesktop and Provisioning Services made attendees really understand that desktop virtualization can be made simpler with an architecture like this. Let's take a look at the hardware and dive deeper into this new and exciting game changing architecture.
The Moonshot 1500 platform is a 4.3U chassis that has an impressive array of compute, graphics, storage, and network. This new Proliant M700 Server cartridge for HDI, or Hosted Desktop Infrastructure, was designed for those key knowledge workers that need direct unfiltered access to hardware that has been traditionally managed by a hypervisor in the VDI world. By providing this level of hardware access users can be assured that they will not have to share any hardware resources with anyone else that could potentially impact others in a traditional VDI architecture. With this new architecture users now have access to their own dedicated processors, graphics, storage, and networking which increases the user experience and ultimately productivity.
Inside the Moonshot chassis are 45 dedicated plug-n-play M700 server cartridges. Each M700 cartridge has 4 PC-on-a-Chip nodes or systems that are powered by the chassis. With 4 PC-on-a Chip nodes X 45 cartridges that gives us a total of 180 dedicated PCoC systems. Each cartridge consumes an impressive low wattage amount of power that is typically 33 watts in active use, 20 watts at idle and a maximum of 63 watts. That's about 8 watts per node on average which is equivalent to a small radio, but with the power and HDX experience of a boom box! For an entire chassis then the total amount of power that these 45 cartridges or 180 nodes would consume on average is about 1500 watts which is about the equivalent of a home appliance microwave. Of course mileage may vary, but you get the point on how power savings can be applied here.
The image below showcases the Moonshot chassis fully loaded with 45 cartridges.
Each HP Proliant m700 is powered by a PC-on-a-Chip architecture designed by HP and AMD. Each node on a cartridge has an AMD Opteron X2150 APU (4) x86 core 1.5 GHz processor with AMD Radeon 8000 Series Graphics. The graphics and processor are a single piece of silicon die called an Accelerated Processing Unit or APU and offer 128 Radeon Cores up to 500 MHz. This type of graphics card is perfectly designed for the knowledge worker who has light level graphics requirements like Direct X 11 enabled applications such as Microsoft Office 2013. This allows for a smaller footprint for a SOC and provides HP and AMD the flexibility to have 4 nodes per cartridge. Each node has a dedicated 8GB of Enhanced ECC DDR3 PC3-12800 SDRAM at 16000 MHz speed for a total of 32GB per cartridge. For storage each cartridge has an integrated storage controller with a dedicated 32GB SANDISK iSSD per node located on the Mezzanine Storage Kit for a total of 128GB space. Each iSSD is rated to perform up to 400 IOPS which more than sufficient for most traditional VDI or SBC users. Each node also has its own pair of 1GB Broadcom NICS allowing for a combined 2GB of dedicated network bandwidth per node. This makes for greater design choices for allowing node to have access to different VLANS for boot and production traffic if desired. For node deployment the BIOS allows each node for a series of simple boot methods such as boot via local iSSD, boot via PXE, and boot one time via PXE or HDD. Also each of the m700 nodes have the capability to leverage Wake-On-LAN or WOL using a magic packet. This enables even nodes that are powered off in the chassis to be powered on straight from the Provisioning Services console!
Inside the chassis is a simple and easy to leverage series of integrated switches. There are two switches that are segmented as switch A and switch B. Each Wolff switch can provide up to 4 x 40GB of stackable uplinks per switch. These Wolff switches are fully manageable switches with Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing functionality as well as QoS, SNMP and SFLOW functions. With each node having a 2 dedicated 1GB NICS and each cartridge delivering 8GB of potential traffic, these switches are ready to handle any type of HDI workload scenario.
So far you have read about the hardware and its exciting capabilities, but is there a specific version of XenDesktop for the Moonshot platform? Yes there is. The HP Converged System 100 will only be supported by Citrix for those customers using XenDesktop 7.1 and Provisioning Services 7.1. While it's possible that previous versions of XenDesktop may work, the main feature that only XenDesktop 7.1 provides is the capability for the Standard VDA to leverage the native GPU for those Direct X enabled applications, for example, without the need of the HDX 3D Pro VDA that was always the case before for leveraging GPUs. (The HDX 3d Pro VDA is required for higher end CAD applications, which also require a higher end GPU than what is inside the M700 cartridge. Think NVIDIA K2 and XenServer GPU pass through with HP BL380 Gen 8 blades here for HDX 3D Pro for those higher end users which is a separate architecture than Moonshot.) For those of us that have been keeping up to speed with XenDesktop, Derek Thorslund posted great blog about what the XenDesktop 7.1 VDA can provide for native graphics. Throughout the development of the Moonshot platform Citrix, HP, and AMD worked very closely on the HDX side. During this time Citrix developers were able to enhance our current 7.1 Standard VDA WDDM driver to be able to provide optimizations that are now capable of leveraging the AMD graphics cards which are a standard on the Moonshot HDI platform. This new WDDM driver enhancement now allows for a superior HDX experience that can directly leverage the GPU for each node! The example below shows the device manager Citrix WDDM driver as well as the AMD Radeon GPU. It is important to note again that this new AMD optimization is specifically designed and supported for the XenDesktop 7.1 standard VDA only and not the HDX 3D Pro VDA which is not supported by Citrix on the CS100 Moonshot platform at the time of writing this article. This new enhancement is in the form of a hotfix (MSP) is available now on Citrix.com.
Below is YouTube demonstration showcasing all these pieces in real-time!
In most situations there are going to be a few ways to deliver Windows to bare-metal nodes before the XenDesktop and Provisioning Services client installers can be deployed. The current HP supported method of delivering Windows 7 x64 to a node is using Windows Deployment Services or WDS. WDS is a free role of the Windows 2008R2 SP1 and Windows 2012/R2 operating system that can be enabled. Once we have our master image created the fun part begins.

In Thursday's Gazette, I noticed a mostly-text ad from the Station des Sports, signed by local … uhh … entrepreneur … Peter Sergakis, who owns the bar and many other bars around town. It was to thank people around the sports bar for supporting its plan to expand its footprint.
As you can imagine with these ads, there's a lot of missing context. The project has been under fire recently because of Sergakis's use of a "loophole" in the law that allows him to bypass a register (that could force a referendum on the subject if it gets enough signatures) by having more than half the people affected sign a petition.
The ad itself isn't what surprises me, though. What's interesting is that the ad turns onto a different page. Like newspapers that (used to, at least) start major articles on the front page and continue them inside, this one ends a colour ad on Page A3 with "advertisement continued on Page A8".
Not something you see often in advertisements. Most likely this was done because A3 has colour and exposure but limits the space given to advertisers to ensure most of it is editorial copy.
Why is this a loophole?
Anyway, back to that loophole. In this city, if you don't like a by-law change that affects the area immediately around where you live, you can sign a register to demand a referendum on the subject. If you get the required number of signatures, the city/borough must either hold a referendum or withdraw the project.
The "loophole" is a little-used way to get around this, by having more than half the people who would be able to sign that register and vote in that referendum sign a petition supporting the project. So if the area around a new development had 1,000 people, you'd need to get 501 to sign a petition and then there wouldn't be a register or referendum.
The reasoning makes sense to me. If those 501 support the project, why bother having a referendum where they would, presumably, all vote no? How is this a "loophole"? Isn't it just democracy at work.
I asked around, and the answers I got pointed to how ancient and unused this law is, and how it wasn't designed to be used in this way (even the city admits that). I see that, but it hardly makes it undemocratic.
The other answers mentioned how unfair it is compared to the trouble one has to go through to force a referendum. The petition can be passed around over months, while registers are open only for a day. The petition can be brought to people's homes, while registers can only be signed at borough offices.
On the other hand, though, far fewer people are required to sign a register to force a referendum than sign a petition to quash one. And again, if more than half the affected residents support the project, isn't that still the will of the people? Or should the minority overpower the majority?
What's left unsaid in calling this a "loophole" is the implication that those who sign petitions supporting projects don't really support them. That they're being fooled by people hired by developers to bribe people into signing petitions they don't fully understand. That when exposed to the issues in a referendum, they would change their minds and vote against.
That's not a far-fetched idea or a conspiracy theory. It's a legitimate concern. And the process should probably be changed, both to ensure that people have better access to registers and to ensure that those signing petitions in support of a project understand the implications of doing so.
But don't call direct democracy a "loophole" just because you disagree with a decision that you think is uninformed.


The Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage, California has opened 360 Sports, the ultimate sports bar and restaurant offering more than 1,200 square feet of live sports action viewed on a multitude of large-scale LED displays. To drive the wall-to-wall sports programming, Las Vegas-based Advanced LED Displays selected Christie Spyder X80 and X20 multi-screen windowing processors.
Owned by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the casino resort and spa opened in 2001. It expanded with $400 million of new construction in 2008 and added 360 Sports late last year. Sports betting is not yet legal in California so 360 Sports debuted as a sports bar and restaurant with a variety of real-time programming and custom video options for its patrons.
360 Sports boasts 2,300 square feet of LED displays comprising a main LED wall, an LED bar back, a "Dogbone" LED wall and an entry LED wall, which surround comfortable table and bar seating. The video walls are fed by 19 DirecTV boxes for sports programming and 12 proprietary media players for Agua Caliente's own media and marketing content.
A Christie Spyder X80 drives the main LED wall, bar back and DogboneLED walls; a Spyder X20 drives the entry and the separate Center Bar video walls, which has an elliptical LED wall wrapped around its bar. The Spyders link to 4K LED controllers that feed the displays.
According to Martinez, 360 Sports has quickly established itself as a popular spot at Agua Caliente. It packed in guests for Super Bowl LIII. "As the property continues to evolve, the inevitable goal will be for 360 Sports to be ready to go as a sportsbook when sports betting is legalized in California," he notes.

Nestlé accelerates action to tackle climate change and commits to zero net emissions by 2050
Nestlé today announced its ambition to achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It embraces the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Ahead of the U.N. Secretary-General's Climate Action Summit this month, Nestlé will sign the 'Business Ambition for 1.5°C' pledge.
"Climate change is one of the biggest threats we face as a society. It is also one of the greatest risks to the future of our business," said Mark Schneider, Nestlé CEO. "We are running out of time to avoid the worst effects of global warming. That is why we are setting a bolder ambition to reach a net-zero future. Deploying Nestlé's global resources and industry know-how, we know we can make a difference at significant scale. Our journey to net zero has already started. Now, we are accelerating our efforts," he added.
Nestlé's 2050 ambition adds to its ongoing work: since 2014, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across Nestlé's entire value chain is equivalent to taking 1.2 million cars off the road.

Region, Nicoya
Majority of Work Done on Roads by Muni of Nicoya Resulted from Residents' Efforts
Este vado, que sirve como sistema de drenaje, fue gestionado por los vecinos de Belén de Nosarita
Some 66% of the roads that were worked on this year by the municipality of Nicoya, using resources from Law 8114, has been the result of work done by the canton's residents.
In total, the Technical Roadways Management Unit (UTGV – Unidad Tecnica de Gestion Vial) budgeted ¢257,450,000 ($483,250) to work on 47 roads of the canton's network and make improvements with gravel, patching with machinery, drainage systems and asphalt mix.
Of those 47 roads, 31 have been worked on because of requests made by residents' organizations, the majority of which were Development Associations.
Requirements for a Road to Receive Intervention by the Municipality
According to the Tax Simplification and Efficiency Law (8114), in order for a municipality to be able to maintain a communal road, it must give people access to a school, sports field, community center or health facility, among others.
In addition, the average daily traffic must be a minimum of 30 vehicles, the road can give access to tourism interest sites or serve as a route for harvests and products from the area.
In addition, among the roads that cannot be worked on by UTGV are those that are unfit for vehicular traffic, very narrow (less than four meters wide) or full of vegetation.
Victor Reyes Carvajal, the engineer in charge of the Nicoya UTGV, noted that if a group of residents wants the municipality to repair a road, they should present a letter indicating the name of the community, a contact number, the exact location of the road and the name and signature of the residents interested in seeing that the road is repaired.
Reyes explained that the projects that are able to be processed the fastest are those in which residents provide for part of the repairs and those that are realistic.
"Projects should be realistic; there should be a large enough population that benefits, and, in addition, if the residents provide for the purchase of part of the material that will be used, the project gains more weight," he said.
Requests can be presented at any time, though any that are presented now will be taken into account for 2016, due to budget constraints.
Pending Roads
Regarding the routes to be worked on for the rest of the year, Reyes reported that the eight kilometers between Nicoya and Nambi through Sabana Grande are pending, a project that is waiting for a technical evaluation from the procurement department.
The amount budgeted by the UTGV for the project is ¢5,600,000 ($10,500), and it is estimated that work will begin this month.
Other roads that will receive gravel work include Quiriman – Garcimuñoz (¢2,240,000 or $4,200) and the road from Nicoya to Quiriman (¢5,670,000 or $10,650). Both are scheduled to start in September or October of this year.

Machine Tool Manuals Machine Tool Catalogues Belts
GAMAGE Lathes
Department & Mail-order Store, London
Gamage were a large, London-based department store who also ran a widely-advertised and successful general mail-order business; they flourished until the early 1960s, when their advertisements gradually petered out with the store closing in 1972. Their catalogue (it was very popular in the run-up to Christmas) listed a wide range of appealing items, amongst which were a number of small lathes, some made Portass and (possibly) Flexispeed both in Sheffield, others by the London firm of Ross and Alexander (who also marketed their lathe using the "Randa" brand) and early versions of the Myford ML1 and ML2.
The Portass version, illustrated below, was based on the Company's Model S and advertised in the mid 1950s as being available in two centre heights of 3 and 35/8", each with a between-centres capacity of 12.5". The lathe was supplied complete with ten changewheels, a catchplate and a threaded but rough-finished spare backplate. There was no mention in the advertisements of either a countershaft or motor, and these would, no doubt, have added a considerable amount to the advertised price of £27 : 19 : 6d. A smaller lathe by Portass, also badged "Gamages", was based on one of the Company's very early models, the Junior, and also sold with ZYTO markings. However, a very similar (indeed, almost identical) lathe was sold by Flexispeed and, as both companies were within a mile or so of each other in Sheffield, the writer believes that the same pattern maker was responsibe for both. An article explaining the origins and development of early Portass lathes can be found here. Although Portass, Ross & Alexander and Myford are known suppliers to Gamages, it is believed that other makes were also re-branded and, should you have a Gamage lathe of any type, or any literature advertising them (or other machines with Gamage badging, the writer would be pleased to hear from you..
Some pictures are high-resolution and may be slow to load
A Gamage lathe from the 1950s (now in the USA) showing the special headstock as well as some well-engineered departures from standard by a previous owner: a Myford ML10 cross-feed screw and bracket have been fitted to the cross slide, a "stop" fitted to control the tailstock offset and a graduated dial fitted to the tailstock end of the leadscrew.
The much improved and more rigid headstock used on some examples of the Model S was also specified for the Gamage version. It used an entirely different casting, with the front section brought up level with the centre lines of the bearings together with a section cast in below the left-hand bearing to allow the fitting of a tumble-reverse mechanism - although it is doubtful if the option was ever fitted.
Gamage version of the Portass Model S. The taller tailstock of this particular example (in comparison to the Standard Portass S below) is obvious.
A poor quality picture but one that confirms some Gamage versions of the Portass Model S had the rare, improved design of more rigid headstock.
An original mid 1950s Model S Portass. This was the best-selling backgeared and screwcutting Portass lathe and made in considerable numbers both before and after WW2. Over the years at least four versions of the lathe were offered with their centre heights ranging from 3 to 3.625 inches - and with between-centre capacities from 12 to 16.5 inches.
Some Model S lathes were fitted with compound slide rests, others made do with a single, swivelling top slide. The version illustrated above, one of the last made in the mid 1950s, has a redesigned bed with vertical stiffening ribs cast into the section of the bed beneath the gap, a larger spindle and bearings, a compound slide rest and the dog-clutch lever is straight and points downwards - rather than being dog-legged and pointing upwards as on the earlier machines. Both flat and V-belt drive pulleys are found fitted to these lathes of 1950s, presumably to the choice of the original customer.
Not all Gamage lathes had the name cast into the bed--this examples used a cheap, screw-on plate
A Gamage's advertisement from the 1930s
This, the smallest Gamage lathe yet found, was almost certainly a simplified version of the 2.5-inch centre height Portass (or, as explained above, possibly by Flexisepeed) and made from 1927 onwards. Also badged as a Zyto (in a backgeared and screwcutting form) it was also sold - in an identical form - marked as the plain-turning "Junior", though if this version was sold by Portass, or a third-party tool dealer, is not known. Another version, badged Portass, was rather better equipped with a full compound slide rest and a leadscrew supported in bearings at both ends. The Gamages, built down to the lowest price possible, made do with a swivelling top slide and an overhung leadscrew held at the tailstock end only. The tailstock could not be set over, though on one of the Portass versions it could. The model shown here has non-original and larger V-pulleys in place of either the narrow flat or V-type designed to take a round leather rope.
Although not branded this is also a lathe sold by Gamage. A number of modifications have been made including a 3-step headstock pulley, a different rather better tailstock with a long-travel barrel and a swivelling tool slide mounted on a raiser block.
Myford ML.1. This would have been one of the re-branded lathes sold by Gamage from around 1934 until 1939
