Corker hears stories of teens sent into sex trade
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Bob Corker was horrified by the young women's stories.
A teenage girl, no more than 15, recalled a man coming to her rural village in the Philippines and offering to take her and her little sister to see the big city of Manila. You'll be back by sundown, he promised.
Young and naive, they went. They ended up working in a brothel in Malaysia.
Another woman told of wanting to be a singer. An agency that claimed to have connections in the entertainment industry promised to help her get her big break in Singapore. What awaited her wasn't a career in show business, but a decade of forced labor in the sex trade.
'There was story after story after story,' Corker said, recalling the day he spent in Manila listening to 20 women who had been freed from a life of sexual servitude.
Corker returned from that meeting in the fall of 2014 deeply touched by the women's stories and committed to helping other victims of human trafficking.
Six months later, the Chattanooga Republican launched what has become one of his top priorities as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: a global campaign to fight modern slavery.
The primary vehicle for Corker's initiative is the End Modern Slavery Act, bipartisan legislation he's sponsoring with Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey.
The bill would establish a nonprofit foundation dedicated to combating slavery across the globe. It also would set up a $1.5 billion international fund that would provide grants to programs and projects outside the United States working to free victims of modern slavery and would enforce laws to punish people and companies that profit from human trafficking.
The goal: Reduce slavery by 50 percent in targeted populations within seven years. Programs that failed to achieve that benchmark would be suspended or terminated.
The U.S. government would put up about $250 million for the anti-slavery fund. Another $500 million would come from foreign governments, and the foundation would be tasked with raising $750 million from the private sector.
Corker already has secured initial U.S. funding and may be close to getting a commitment for the rest. A spending bill signed into law last December by President Obama appropriated the initial $25 million. The senator's office said language authorizing the remaining $225 million over the next six years has been included in a broad defense policy bill the Senate will take up this week.
Although slavery is illegal in every country, some 27 million people in more than 165 nations, including the United States, are trapped in the multi-billion-dollar modern slave industry, often through forced labor, sexual exploitation or involuntary servitude.
Young boys in Ghana, for example, are forced to work 17-hour days in the local fishing industry under dangerous conditions and with limited food. School-age children in India who should be immersed in books are instead forced into backbreaking jobs such as stacking bricks.
'We're not talking about working for a dollar a day,' Corker said. 'We're talking about people in slavery.'
Corker sees his efforts to end those practices — or at least drastically reduce them — as comparable to this country's leadership in slowing the spread of HIV and AIDS.
'One day our nation decided we were going to end this massive growth in HIV/AIDS, and we decided we were going to lead the world in making that happen,' he said. 'We have. It's not over. But it's way on the down trend.'
With that same 'bold vision,' Corker said, the U.S. can improve the lives of millions of people enslaved all over the world.
A nonprofit organization helping to lead the fight against modern slavery said Corker's decision to take up the cause is critically important.
'I have never in my life seen a person use so much of his power for those who have none of it,' said Holly Burkhalter, a senior adviser with the Washington-based International Justice Mission. 'I just can't think of anyone who has done more for our field than Sen. Bob Corker.'
Achieving a 50 percent reduction in slavery won't be easy, Burkhalter said, but including that benchmark in the legislation is important because it sends a message to traffickers that anti-slavery laws will be enforced.
'Slavery is legal absolutely nowhere, and the very fact that it exists in such magnitude shows what the gap is,' she said. 'The gap is not the law. It's in law enforcement.'
Corker's interest in stopping slavery and human trafficking started with his chief of staff, Todd Womack, who dropped in on services at Atlanta's Passion City Church whenever he passed through the area. The church's pastor, Louie Giglio, is a leader in the anti-slavery movement.
One sermon, in particular, resonated. The focus was doing your part to help those who are enslaved. 'If not you,' the pastor asked, 'who is going to do something about it?'
Womack returned to Washington and shared that message with the senator.
Corker did some reading about the issue and eventually connected with International Justice Mission, whose work includes freeing women from the sex trade. The senator already was planning to visit Southeast Asia because of commitments related to the Foreign Relations Committee, so he arranged for the stopover in Manila to see the mission's work.
Organized crime sometimes is involved, but modern slavery is mostly 'a crime of opportunity,' Corker said.
'It's really smaller business people taking advantage of people to make a profit,' he said. 'Once they realize there is a price to pay — meaning, they are going to be incarcerated if they do it — the amount of slavery drops precipitously.'
In many countries, especially in rural areas, 'poor people have no access to justice,' Corker said. 'A wealthier person in the community who has political ties locally can absolutely take advantage of citizens and get zero punishment.'
With the U.S. leading the way, he said, the world can make sure justice is done.
'I get back to what was heard that day in the church,' Corker said. ''If not me, who?''

Guys, have you heard of LBD (LITTLE BLACK DRESS)? you know, that fashion staple that every woman should have in their closet, well I'm raising that bar. I think every woman should have a little black dress, but something that's not like your basic!! I found the cutest LBD, from CityChic at Macys! But this isn't your average LBD! This one I recently discovered has polka-dots!!! Annndd it's also a two-layer dress, that can truly be styled in so many ways. For me, I decided to style my dress with a wide belt, (a trend that I will continue to love) and pair it with block sandals.
I truly love the fit of the dress. I decided to take the chance and get my actually size, 16, instead of sizing up. I was scared at first because I didn't want the dress to look like a bodycon, and wasn't too sure how would it look true to size. However, I am so happy I took the chance! The fit is amazing, and truly love the silhouette it brings off. It gives off a chic, but yet sophisticated vibe and I am so in love!
Living my best life...ain't going back and forth with you..featuring Eleven60!


In 2001, the monumental 6th-century buddhas of Bamiyan were dynamited on orders from Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. The United States and other Western governments issued protests. Afghanistan's Islamist rulers shrugged them off.
In 2010, Al-Kifl, the tomb of the Prophet Ezekiel, near Baghdad, is being desecrated. On the tomb are inscriptions in Hebrew and an ark in which a Torah was displayed centuries ago. Iraq's Antiquities and Heritage Authority, under pressure from Islamists, is erasing the Hebrew words, removing the Hebrew ornaments, and planning to build a mosque on top of the grave.
So far, we're hearing protests from almost no one. But this is not just another "Where is the outrage?" story. The larger and more alarming trend is that, in a growing number of Muslim-majority countries, a war is being waged against non-Muslim minorities.
Where non-Muslim minorities already have been "cleansed" — as in Afghanistan and Iraq — the attacks are against their memory. Ethnic minorities also are being targeted: The genocidal conflict against the black Muslims of Darfur is only the most infamous example.
Connect these dots: In Nigeria this week, Muslim youths set fire to a church, killing more than two dozen Christian worshippers. In Egypt, Coptic Christians have been suffering increased persecution including, this month, a drive-by shooting outside a church in which seven people were murdered. In Pakistan, Christian churches were bombed over Christmas. In Turkey, authorities have been closing Christian churches, monasteries, and schools, and seizing Christian properties. Recently, churches in Malaysia have been attacked, too, provoked by this grievance: Christians inside the churches were referring to God as "Allah." How dare infidels use the same name for the Almighty as do Muslims!
In response to all this, Western journalists, academics, diplomats, and politicians mainly avert their eyes and hold their tongues. They pretend there are no stories to be written, no social pathologies to be documented, no actions to be taken. They focus instead on Switzerland's vote against minarets and anything Israel might be doing to prevent terrorists from claiming additional victims.
Many Muslims, no doubt, disapprove of the persecution of non-Muslims. But in most Muslim-majority countries, any Muslim openly opposing the Islamists and their projects risks being branded an apostate. And under the Islamist interpretation of Sharia, Islamic law, apostates deserve death.
Not so long ago, the Broader Middle East was a diverse region. Lebanon had a Christian majority for centuries but that ended around 1990 — the result of years of civil war among the country's religious and ethnic communities. The Christian population of Turkey has diminished substantially in recent years. Islamists have driven Christians out of Bethlehem and other parts of the West Bank; almost all Christians have fled Gaza since Hamas's takeover.
There were Jewish communities throughout the Middle East for millennia. The Jews of Iran trace their history back more than 2,700 years, but about eight out of ten Iranian Jews have emigrated since the 1979 Islamist Revolution; only about 40,000 remain.
The Jews of what is now Saudi Arabia were wiped out as Muhammad and his followers established a new religion and began to build a new empire in the 7th century A.D. But Jewish communities survived elsewhere until after World War II, when Jews were forced to abandon their homes in Iraq (more than a fourth of Baghdad's population was Jewish), Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen, and other countries.
In many cases, they were driven out by Muslims furious over the establishment of the modern state of Israel. But how odd is it to protest the creation of a safe haven and homeland for Jews by making your own Jewish citizens homeless and stateless?
In 1947, Pakistan also was founded as a safe haven — for Indian Muslims who did not want to be ruled by Hindus once the British left the subcontinent. The country's founding father, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was determined that while Pakistan would have an Islamic identity, it would be tolerant of Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees, and others — as much as 20 percent of the population at independence. It hasn't worked out that way and, as a result, non-Muslim minorities today constitute only about 3 percent of Pakistan's population. By contrast, non-Hindus constitute almost 20 percent of India's population, with Muslims the largest minority at 13 percent.
When the dots are connected, the picture that emerges is not pretty: An "Islamic world" in which terrorists are regarded often with lenience, sometimes with respect, and occasionally with reverence, while minority groups face increasing intolerance, persecution, and "cleansing," and where even their histories are erased. And we in the West are too polite, too "politically correct," and perhaps too cowardly to say much about it.

Gibsons & Sunshine Coast MLS Real Estate - Doyle Real Estate Group - — Industry News: What Is The 'Disclosure of Agency' Form?
Industry News: What Is The 'Disclosure of Agency' Form?
If you have not worked with a real estate agent since June 15th 2018 you will be seeing a new form the next time you do work with a realtor.
It's called the 'Disclosure of Representation in Trading Services' form and it is designed to clarify the exact relationship between you, the consumer, and the realtor you speak with (aka, the agent).
Here's a quick FAQ guide about how this form is used & why it is important.
A1: As of June 15th 2018 the Real Estate Council of BC (RECBC) has made this form mandatory for any realtor offering services to a client. Before these services can be provided (showing a home, offering market advice, discussing a client's needs) this form must be reviewed & signed by the realtor you are speaking with. Your signature is optional but many agents prefer that you do sign and it is to your benefit to do so as it proves you have review the information.
A2: The short answer is 'No'. The longer answer is that they are the ones who now owe you the duties of confidentiality, disclosure, loyalty and avoiding conflicts to your interest in a real estate transaction. For these reasons, the form is for your benefit.
A3: Yes, however, you will need to inform the realtor that you are currently working with that you would like to work with someone else. This is to ensure there are no conflicts of interest and to respect the time & effort of the agent who you do not wish to work with anymore.
A4: Your realtor will continue to provide you with all of the services that they would normally offer.
A5: Unless the agent you spoke with refuses to work with a client who will not sign the agreement then yes, you may still speak with them and receive information. But if you wish to be unpresented, the agent must give you a second form called a 'Disclosure of Risks To Unrepresented Parties' form which outlines your position as an unrepresented party. The agent will sign this form and your signature is optional. Be aware that this choice means the agent does not owe you the same loyalty, confidentiality, conflict avoidance or full disclosure of information that they would if they were to represent you, but they will still offer honest, accurate information to the best of their abilities.
We hope this guide was useful and if you have any further comments please get in touch with us!
Our team at the Doyle Real Estate Group is continually attending additional training & accreditation course in order to be throughly up to date on all real estate regulations. We are here to answer any questions you have about the market or real estate in general.

To take note Oracle historical past methods is to bear in mind how Oracle works--offering opportunity to tune quite simply.
With each edition comes the skills for extra historical past methods when an Oracle instance is began. If memory serves me right, lower back in Oracle 7 there were only 6-10 background strategies. Taking a glance at a current Oracle 11g instance there are comfortably 23 historical past techniques for just a standard installing.
Granted this is for a UNIX ambiance and not windows the place a less complicated math could be employed. So what are background processes anyway? with ease, what I feel lots of us overlook, they're these equipment strategies that make up an Oracle illustration, are configured via numerous parameters, and deal with the manipulation and presentation of tips from our Oracle database. Please, let's simply be aware they are not the database as they are not physical accessories like data files.
As noted previously, not all background procedures that might run should be or should be working on your specific illustration. for example, you can also or may additionally not have archiving turned on and consequently you may additionally or may not have the archiver process active for your equipment. now not all background tactics are mandatory for an instance. also be aware, and the cause of an increasing variety of heritage procedures, each heritage manner has its personal interesting set of purposes and initiatives. These might also trade from one edition to the next, which is the explanation for this paper. I too have grown lazy in knowing what all the strategies are for. As such, I created this article to refresh my reminiscence--desirous to be trained what new tactics Oracle has conjured up. So please study alongside, get a consider for what the procedure identify is, and see if you find any you are unfamiliar with. additionally, notice that these approaches are those who are customarily running after a sparkling, usual, and primary setting up.
ora_pmon_<SID> - The system display screen is responsible for monitoring techniques. in this case pmon will function recovery for consumer techniques that fail, will rollback uncommitted transactions, and clean up the buffer cache and free the substances being consumed. ora_vktm_<SID> - The digital Keeper of Time procedure is answerable for protecting song of the wall-clock time and used as a reference-time counter. ora_diag_<SID> - The Diagnosability technique handles grasp detection and impasse resolution. ora_dbrm_<SID> - The Database resource manager manner takes care of setting up useful resource manager connected tasks and aid plans. ora_psp0_<SID> - The technique Spawner will spawn Oracle processes as necessary. ora_mman_<SID> - The mman manner is used for inside database tasks. ora_dbw0_<SID> - The Database author procedure(s) handle the writing of dirty/modified buffers in the database buffer cache to datafiles. depending on the pastime of the database, there could be distinct database writers to sustain with the adjustments happening. ora_lgwr_<SID> - The Log author technique is liable for writing information from the redo log buffers to the redo log files on disk. ora_ckpt_<SID> - The Checkpoint technique is responsible for signaling the synchronization of all database information with checkpoint information – making certain information consistency and faster database recuperation in case of a crash. ora_smon_<SID> - The equipment computer screen procedure is accountable as an instance healing – cleaning up brief segments that aren't required and coalescing contiguous free extents in dictionary managed tablespaces. ora_reco_<SID> - The Recoverer manner is answerable for getting better all in-doubt transactions in a disbursed database setup – connecting to far flung databases and resolving pending transactions. ora_mmon_<SID> - The mmon method will perform manageability-related heritage tasks reminiscent of issuing signals, taking snapshots, and taking pictures records values for SQL objects. ora_mmnl_<SID> - The mmnl manner will function different however light-weight manageability-connected initiatives equivalent to shooting session heritage and metrics computation. ora_d000_<SID> - The Dispatcher approaches will listen to and get hold of requests from linked sessions – inserting them within the request queue on the subsequent attainable server for further processing. Dispatcher techniques will additionally opt for up outgoing responses from a outcomes queue and transmit these results again to the customers. ora_s000_<SID> - The Shared Server manner will decide upon up requests from a name request queue, make the calls to the database to resolve the request, and then return the consequences to a effect queue. ora_smco_<SID> - The house management Coordinator technique handles the coordination and execution of area management projects – spawning wnnn techniques to perform the project. ora_fbda_<SID> - The Flashback facts Archiver method archives ancient information for tracked tables into the flashback statistics archives – storing a pre-image of the rows into the flashback archive and maintaining the metadata for these rows. ora_cjq0_<SID> - The Job Queue procedure is used for batch processing – running person jobs inside a scheduler provider. able to run a large number of concurrent jobs, the coordinator process (cjq0) will spawn job queue slaves (jnnn) to basically run the roles.
So, the question might possibly be running via your head as to why we should still care in regards to the approaches. tactics are at the very core of an Oracle illustration. they are the link between your user purposes and the database. If the device methods hold or devour gigantic quantities of components you should discover why. The top-rated region to delivery is to understand what each and every manner does and the way it interacts with the Oracle database. for example, if lgwr become ingesting giant quantities of gadget supplies you could conclude that the configuration you are the usage of for log upkeep is in want of tuning.

Amazon RDS also manages ongoing protection initiatives equivalent to updating database software, taking continual database backups for factor-in-time healing, and exposing key operational metrics by the use of an internet dashboard.
Amazon is still a pioneer in cloud computing, and we now have worked closely together to make sure that the vigor of the Oracle portfolio is accessible to purchasers who need to run them within the AWS cloud. With more and more Oracle Database clients drawn to working on AWS, we're working with AWS to be certain the convenience of achievement and platform agility of Amazon RDS is obtainable for the Oracle Database, referred to Mark Townsend, vice chairman, Oracle Database Server technologies.
* carry Your personal License - (BYOL) - customers with latest Oracle Database licenses can follow them to run Oracle Databases on Amazon RDS with out a further software licensing or assist charges.
* On-Demand Database situations (DB cases) - This pay-with the aid of-the-hour licensing choice requires no pre-present licenses, up-front prices, or long-time period commitments to run Oracle Databases on Amazon RDS. shoppers pay an easy, hourly expense per RDS Database instance operating Oracle Database 11g. The hourly fee will depend on the Oracle Database edition and DB instance dimension alternative selected.
* Reserved DB situations - Reserved DB cases permit valued clientele to make a low, one-time price for each and every DB example and in flip receive the option to run that DB instance at a big bargain on the continuing hourly utilization cost. each one-12 months and three-year reservation terms can be obtainable.
valued clientele will get the technical assist for Oracle Database from Oracle for BYOL DB cases, and from AWS with backline support from Oracle for On-Demand and Reserved DB instances.
In December, Amazon spoke of a number of purposes of Oracle at the moment are purchasable in its Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, or EC2, a industrial net carrier that enables purchasers to rent computer systems on which to run their personal desktop purposes.

My certification journey began way back in 2003, two years after I finished my higher education and was primarily directed by a passion for improving my skills and giving me the knowledge to establish myself apart from the crowd in the career market.
As I went on upgrading my Oracle certification to 10g and then 11g, it became apparent that the real value of certification was in extending our boundaries by proving just how little one understands! Technology advances. It's a reality of life, and if we keep on doing stuff the way they've always been done, we stifle and stop developing. Several aspects which were revealed during the preparation of the certification exams have consequently been completed in the workplace.
Finally, I was left with the ultimate test; the Oracle Database 11g — Performance Management and Tuning certification (OCE) exam…a blend of skill, preparation and how well one manages under the stressful environment. There were all sorts of the horror movies reclining in wait, from those who have long since passed because of NDA violations, but they just fuelled the fire. After two exhausting days, I expected the final result for three weeks…worried because I thought I had tried to be too intelligent for picking self-study option rather than joining any coaching. My results were positive, much to my relief. It truly is the apex certification for any Oracle Database professional, and I cannot recommend it extremely enough as a test of yourself and your skills.
Over the next 20 months, I remained on the path to learning more and more about the different new features in Oracle Database 12c, focusing on RAC, Oracle GoldenGate, and Dataguard. I will also say that I failed the last examination on the first attempt. I did not have the appropriate study material and built my course from the online resources. This was no justification, as the current Oracle certification syllabus give an exceptional balance of what the documentation says and placing you in real-world situations where you have to apply yourself to the situation presented. And eventually, it presented me with another learning break, which I devotedly grabbed and achieved the Oracle certification on the second attempt. And it doesn't end there. The journey into the Oracle cloud certification is gaining speed, and along with Oracle Spatial 11g Essentials, there are many more unknown paths to venture down and acquire from.
An Oracle Certification is an important, industry-recognized certification that indicates a proven level of knowledge and skill. Each higher level of Oracle certification delivers a higher standard of measured skill and expertise, which leads to excellent opportunities and higher pay scale.
Database administrators use Oracle, a widely used database management system, to store and manage data for organizations and businesses. Those seeking online Oracle training are in luck, since many universities and colleges offer such options.
Most Oracle programs allow students to take classes individually or as part of a larger Oracle certificate program, and classes are generally graded based on completed lessons. Schools may offer online certificate programs that lead to college credit, which are often available to those who already have bachelor's degrees.
Continuing education certificate programs may not have as strict admission requirements or award college credit, but they could prepare students for professional certification and are designed for IT professionals. An online certificate program is usually designed to be completed in under a year.
Students may choose to learn the concepts, administrative and architectural essentials of Oracle, or they may choose to study the application development and basics of Oracle security in order to troubleshoot these systems. There are both basic and advanced courses offered online, which means students can select expert training in Oracle or learn how to use Oracle from an entry-level perspective.
Distance learners may also choose to participate in a program that is part of the Oracle Academic Initiative (OAI); students who complete this program may receive a discount on the Oracle certification examination fees.
Students in an online Oracle program generally take courses sequentially, and coursework is usually broken up into four or five modules or course plans, depending on the particular certificate program length. Some Oracle programs allow use of Amazon.com's Elastic Computing Cloud as a class platform for exercises and project work; this program allows students to maintain a Linux-based Oracle environment that is independent and available to their instructors throughout the Oracle program.
The following list gives some insight into what to expect from online courses in this area of study.
This Oracle course provides students with comprehensive information on Oracle database architecture and provides practical experience in Oracle 11g server administration and installation. It also prepares students for the Certified Database Associate Exam in Administration.

Dell Monday unveiled server and storage technologies that, combined with its networking hardware and new data protection software, could make it a solid challenger to Hewlett-Packard and Cisco in the converged infrastructure market.
Dell introduced its 12th generation (12G) server architecture, focused on ease of deployment and management in virtualized environments, and a PCIe-based Flash cache solution for high-speed performance.
Dell also introduced EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays featuring 10-Gbit Ethernet performance, iSCSI over Data Center Bridging, and new management capabilities in Microsoft and Linux environments.
The new server and storage hardware introductions come only a couple of days after Dell unveiled its acquisition of AppAssure, a developer of data protection software for physical and virtual server and cloud environments.
The new server and storage hardware, in combination with Dell's acquisitions in storage hardware, software and networking, gives Dell an opportunity to be a key player in the converged infrastructure market, said Paul Clifford, president of Davenport Group, a St. Paul-based solution provider and Dell partner.
"When you start thinking about what Dell has done, and look at their incredible intellectual property, you see exciting things starting to happen," Clifford said.
"You can pull data all the way through to the cloud, " said Clifford. "That integration hasn't happened yet. But Dell is moving in that direction."
Dell's 12G servers provide a new level of performance and manageability, especially in virtualized environments, said Brian Payne, Dell's executive director of server solutions, touting new servers based on Intel's upcoming E5 Sandy Bridge processor. Payne said Dell is declining to provide performance information about its E5-based servers until Intel releases the new processors.
Dell also unveiled three models targeting low-power consumption and high efficiency in virtualized environments, as well as a new server designed specifically for small business and remote office environments.
New to the 12G server line as well are some technologies taken from Dell's Compellent Fluid Data architecture, Payne said. These include Express Cache, a PCIe Flash device that plugs into the server to maximize application performance. It provides a total throughput of more than 750,000 I/Os per second and can be accessed from the front of the server without the need to power it down for servicing, he said. Also new is Cachecade, a RAID controller technology that automatically controls which operations go to SSD or hard drive to support up to 28 times faster queries while supporting three times more users on Oracle Database 11g than previous Dell servers.
Dell also supports the Compellent storage auto-tiering capabilities for improved performance when tied to Compellent storage, he said.
Dell's second-generation iDRAC7 management solutions will provide remote access control for management of the entire server life cycle without the need for software agents, Noreen said. iDRAC7 includes OpenManage Essentials, an easy-to-install and maintain unified management console for monitoring the health of Dell servers, Dell EqualLogic storage and Dell PowerConnect networking. Noreen said monitoring of Dell Compellent storage is planned for the near future.
iDRAC7 integrates with Dell's KACE IT management solutions, enabling KACE to do realtime monitoring of the server, storage and networking environment for the first time, he said.
Dell also is adding new intelligence to its servers, a move it started three years ago, Noreen said. This includes the ability to deploy new servers with more than 80 percent less administrative and manual time than before.
In addition, the new servers provide an agentless way to automatically update their firmware and BIOS in VMware, Windows and Linux environments, with customers able to apply updates either immediately or schedule them during specified times.
Dell's 12G servers also provide agent-free monitoring and can automatically restore a particular motherboard's configuration to a second motherboard if the first has a problem.
Payne noted that the 12G servers include the industry's first 96 percent efficient power supplies that allow servers to use as little power as a nightlight, as well as Dell's OpenManage Power Center, software that can measure 11G and 12G server power usage and automatically manage 12G server power consumption.
The Select Network Adaptor, meanwhile, will allow customers to offer either Gbit Ethernet or 10-GbE connectivity featuring their choice of Broadcom, Intel or QLogic technology, said Payne. "Customers can make the migration to their choice of connectivity on their terms by changing out the adapter," he said.
On the storage side, Dell Monday unveiled the EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays featuring 10-Gbit Ethernet for increased performance along with new increased capacity points that together improve performance for applications and workloads by up to 69 percent over the previous generations of the line.
Travis Vigil, executive director for Dell EqualLogic, said the new arrays are the industry's first to include an end-to-end iSCSI over Data Center Bridging solution, enabling them to offer affordable, enterprise-class storage with the reliability and performance typically associated with traditional Fibre Channel arrays.
"We really see this as an inflection point in iSCSI," Vigil said. "A lot of people see Data Center Bridging as a driver for FCoE [Fibre Channel over Ethernet]. We have FCoE in our Compellent storage line. But Dell recognizes the importance of FCoE for iSCSI."
The Dell EqualLogic PS6110 series of midsize business storage for multiple physical or virtual servers can be optimized for density with up to 69 percent more SATA capacity or 350 percent more SAS capacity than in the past, or for performance, with up to 24 high-speed SAS drives per 2U of rack space, Vigil said.
A new controller, and the increased use of high-performance disks, increases performance of the PS6110 by nearly 70 percent over previous models, while the addition of 10-GbE provides twice the performance with only half the ports of previous Gbit Ethernet ports, he said.
Dell is also including for the first time the ability to configure the PS6110 with both optical and copper 10GbE networking for flexibility, Vigil said.
The EqualLogic PS4110 series arrays have the same features of the PS6110 but with a maximum capacity of 36 TB in a single array vs. the 72-TB maximum of the PS6110.
For Windows environments, Dell is including the ability to consolidate the data snapshots of up to 16 servers running Hyper-V virtualization. This can be done automatically instead of the traditional manual method that requires doing snapshots of each server individually, Vekiarides said.
"I believe this is an industry first," he said. "We're using our own Dell-unique intellectual property for this."
For Linux users, Dell has added automated snapshot capabilities for the first time. "Before, we could only do this in VMware and Microsoft environments," he said. "Now we're bringing it to Linux. We're including applications for consistent snapshots for Linux so that if you need to restore an application, it's now a single command."


If it's fall, that can only mean one thing: Houston is the center of the quilting universe once again.
Now through Sunday, quilters and the people who love them can be found at the George R. Brown Convention Center for the International Quilt Festival -- a long weekend of classes, seminars, shopping and general appreciation of the craft.
"It's like the Mecca for quilters," said Libby Lehman. "Every quilter wants to come to the Houston show at some point."
Lehman has been coming to the festival since its inception 37 years ago. The Houston native is one of the best-known quilters in Houston, if not the country, or the world, thanks to her talent in decorative quilts that employ intricate, artful designs and stunning colors.
When Lehman started going to the festival, it wasn't the behemoth it is now, where it easily draws thousands of designers, dealers, and quilters the world over to make it the largest gathering of its kind.
"Right now I'm sitting with a Canadian, someone from Utah, Californians, Australians," said Lehman during a lunch break on Wednesday, leading up to the big opening night. "It's truly the United Nations of quilting."
Two styles to look out for, advised Lehman, include longarm quilting, a technique where the quilter moves the needle instead of the fabric to make quilts ("It's really developed into an art," said Lehman. "They're now doing fantastic things with longarm quilting"), and the colorful, decorative threads that are Lehman's current focus.
"I have tried all areas of quilt making, until I really fell in love with using the machine and the fancy threads," said Lehman. "That's really my passion now. It's what I love doing."
Lehman will be on hand during the festival to give lessons in how to use your machine to make decorative touches. It's sure to be a real treat, as Lehman is a master of the form. In addition to her pieces appearing in private, corporate and museum collections, her art quilt, "Joyride," was chosen as one of the Best 100 American Quilts of the 20th Century. When not hanging proudly in her own dining room, the piece will also be displayed in the soon-to-be-open Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange. But for now, you can find it at the festival, along with thousands of other quilt eye-candy.
The International Quilt Festival is now through Sunday at the George R. Brown Convention Center, 1001 Avenida de las Americas. Tickets $10, $8 seniors, $35 for a full festival pass, and free for children 10 and under. For tickets and information, call 713-781-6864 or visit www.quilts.com.


In a setback for environmentalists, the Supreme Court justices signaled that they will throw out a huge global-warming lawsuit brought by six states, including New York, that seeks limits on carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants in the South and Midwest.
Encouraged by the Obama administration's top courtroom lawyer, the justices said the problem of regulating greenhouse gases should be left to the Environmental Protection Agency. It is too complex and unwieldy to be handled by a single federal judge acting on a "public nuisance" lawsuit, some of them said.
A defeat for the lawsuit would put more pressure on the Obama administration and the EPA to enforce limits on carbon pollution in the face of strong opposition from congressional Republicans, environmental advocates said.
"The stakes will be very high. The question is whether they can deliver," said David D. Doniger, a climate-change expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The issue debated before the high court Tuesday was not whether greenhouse gases are causing global climate change, but who should regulate these gases. The decision involves politics, economics and science, the lawyers said.
"It's a question of trade-offs," said Peter D. Keisler, a lawyer representing the power producers. "There is no legal principle here to guide the decision" if it were made by a judge.
Keisler, a former Bush administration official, was joined by acting Solicitor General Neal K. Katyal in urging the justices to throw out the lawsuit against the power plants as too sprawling.
"In the 222 years that this court has been sitting, it has never heard a case with so many potential perpetrators and so many potential victims," Katyal began. Everyone on the planet is an emitter of carbon dioxide, he said, and everyone is a potential victim of global warming. Judges and courts are not suited to handling "global" problems through a lawsuit, he said.
In their comments and questions, it became clear that the justices -- liberals and conservatives alike -- were also dubious of allowing a single judge to decide on the regulation of greenhouse gases.
This "sounds to me a lot like what the EPA does," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a New York State lawyer who was defending the lawsuit. A judge cannot be "a super EPA" who sets and enforces detailed regulations, she said.
Four years ago, the justices cleared the way for the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Since then, the government has adopted stricter standards for new motor vehicles, which take effect next year. But regulation of power plants has stalled. The agency says it will propose new rules in July.
All the while, however, the states have pressed ahead with their "nuisance" lawsuit against the five large power producers.

Q: Integral $\int_{\sqrt{33}}^\infty\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^3-11x^2+11x+121}}$
How can we prove $$I:=\int_{\sqrt{33}}^\infty\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^3-11x^2+11x+121}}\\=\frac1{6\sqrt2\pi^2}\Gamma(1/11)\Gamma(3/11)\Gamma(4/11)\Gamma(5/11)\Gamma(9/11)?$$

Thoughts of this integral
This integral is in the form $$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{P(x)}}dx,$$where $\deg P=3$. Therefore, this integral is an elliptic integral.
Also, I believe this integral is strongly related to Weierstrass elliptic function $\wp(u)$. In order to find $g_2$ and $g_3$, substitute $x=t+11/3$ to get $$I=2\int_{\sqrt{33}-11/3}^\infty\frac{dt}{\sqrt{4t^3-352/3t+6776/27}}$$
The question boils down to finding $\wp(I;352/3,-6776/27)$ but I seem to be on the wrong track.

A: Referring to Zacky's comment it suffices to turn the cubic denominator into a quadratic one, then perform the Landen transform to come to an elliptic integral of the first kind equivalent to K(k11)_

A very special magic surrounds the holiday region Wagrain-Kleinarl in December. The Silent Night Program puts you and your loved ones in a pre-Christmas mood with the ideal mix of winter romance and originality. The Silent Night events are dedicated to the memory of Joseph Mohr, the native poet of the the world's most famous Chrstimas song.
Experience the winter holiday in Wagrain-Kleinarl and feel the peaceful athmosphere at the Christmas markets and events.
On winter holidays in Advent season, you can enjoy the benefits of pre-season in Wagrain-Kleinarl: The slopes at Austria's largest connected skiing area are not as packed and the appealing Advent packages also help you save money.
At night, keep yourself warm with a hot Glühwein on the Advent market and try culinary Christmas delicacies from SalzburgerLand, while local exhibitors impress you with their artful wooden carvings. Maybe you will also find one or two Christmas presents for your loved ones at home.
In Christmas time, the Wagrain-Kleinarl holiday paradise is peaceful and full of atmosphere. In your winter vacation in Advent season, you will get the opportunity to learn about and participate in old customs. Let our cultural events and the "Silent Night" Advent program put you in a Christmassy mood and enjoy your skiing vacation in the unique atmosphere of the snow-covered SalzburgerLand.
There may be hardly a Christmas song rooted as deeply in the public mind as "Silent Night, Holy Night". Joseph Mohr, born in 1792 in Salzburg, wrote this poem in 1816 and had Franz Xaver Gruber add the melody that made it the distinctive Christmas carol that has ever since been a part of every Christmas celebration.
In 1837, Joseph Mohr came to Wagrain. As vicar of the community, he henceforth took care of those in need in the Wagrain-Kleinarl region and also had an elementary school built. Mohr died in 1848 in Wagrain, where he is also buried.
"Joseph Mohr, author of the probably most well-known Christmas carol in the world, used to be a vicar and supporter of those in need in Wagrain."
On the town square of Wagrain, you can deposit your wishes for the world, the Christ Child or your fellow human beings during Christmas time. The town square, in the center of which the Wishing Lime Tree can be found, is bathed in red light in Advent season. The color red stands for life. The linden represents wishes, hope and goals.
The red color unites the individual wishes, represented by colorful balls, to a big whole: Community in wishing.
The traditional "Silent Night" Advent market in Wagrain will put you into peaceful Advent mood during the quiet time of the year, with carefully made handicrafts, home-made delicacies, culinary samples and fragrant warmers.

29 Cornelia St
$15 includes a drink
The Monthly at Cornelia Street Cafe
Charles Bukowski George Wallace Kat Georges Kim Addonizio Michael Puzzo Mike Daisey Peter Carlaftes Puma Perl Richard Vetere
Celebrate the start of the new year with the 9th annual Charles Bukowski Memorial Reading, Jan. 8, 2015, 6pm at Cornelia St. Cafe. Charles Bukowski was truly one of the few and far between: a champion of the outsider, the lost and lonely, the outcasts from society. His work resonates like none other, revealing the core of what it is to be human—sans electronics—counting on nothing, but ready to win, be it with horses, women or writing.
The event, held since 2008, will feature performances of Bukowski poems and tales by a unique cast of hardcore fans including controversial writer Kim Addonizio (Bukowski in a Sundress), playwright/novelist Richard Vetere (Champagne and Cocaine), playwright Michael Puzzo (Spirits of Exit Eleven), poet George Wallace (Poppin' Johnny), and poet Puma Perl (Retrograde), plus Three Rooms Press co-directors Peter Carlaftes and Kat Georges.
Readers will explore Bukowski's works with respect to its place in contemporary culture. What would Buk think of ISIS? trigger warnings? police brutality? Donald Trump? So much seems to have changed since his time, but has it really?
Everyone in attendance will have a chance to win a prize: Buk books, CDs, DVDs and other prizes. Plus bring your own favorite Bukowski poem to read — we'll have a limited open mic for you to share your top choice.
Doors open at 5:45 (for best seating—arrive early!). Admission is $15 which includes (naturally) a free drink! Cornelia Street Cafe is at 29 Cornelia Street, in the West Village, between W. 4th Street at Bleecker (http://corneliastreecafe.com/).

Capital idea imagines new way forward
Mon, Aug 30, 2010, 01:00
London Underground's iconic diagram has inspired an integrated map of Dublin transport routes, writes FRANK McDONALD,Environment Editor
EIGHT YEARS ago, a German-born graphic design student came for the first time to Dublin and was as confused as anyone about how to get around the city by public transport.
There was no handy map of bus and rail services, so it became a "pet project" for Aris Venetikidis (his father is Greek and his mother German) to make one as memorable as the London Underground diagram.
After being rejected initially as a project for his undergraduate degree in graphic design at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), because his tutors thought it would be "too complex", he got another chance to do it for his master's degree. And by then, he had years of experience of using public transport in Dublin.
"I found it frustrating and far below international standards," he says. "I grew up in the Ruhr Valley region in western Germany, where they have great public transport maps. But when I started using graphic design to produce a map for Dublin, I came to the conclusion that the network itself is so complex that it's almost unmappable."
So Venetikidis, who is now 31, teamed up with Dublin Institute of Technology postgraduate and transport campaigner James Leahy, who had finished his master's degree thesis on bus rapid transit as a sustainable – and more affordable – alternative to Luas. Together, they created a "model network", which he then began to map.
"After spending about a year drawing maps over and over again, going back to square one and improving them, I ended up with a city centre public transport map, based on a simplified network, that has an unprecedented level of detail and clarity – and this has been acknowledged by Dublin Bus, Dublin City Council and others.
"The reaction to my map has been outstandingly, overwhelmingly positive. There's still a lot of discourse about James Leahy's model, but it's clear to me that, without a fundamental simplification of the network, the system will remain confusing to new users and so will any endeavour to create intelligible public transport maps."
Essentially, the map Venetikidis designed includes all bus services and stops, as well as existing and proposed Luas stops, existing Dart stations and the proposed Dart Underground link between Inchicore and Docklands, with intervening stations at Heuston, Christ Church, St Stephen's Green, Pearse (Westland Row) and Spencer Dock.
Everything is colour-coded, and the 10 bus rapid transit lines proposed by Leahy are given names such as Beckett, Larkin, Stoker and Yeats.
These are shown on a large format map of the public transport network as a whole, then in detail on a separate map of the inner city area, so people can see exactly where they are going.
"Every stop is on it, because you can't assume that every new user has a working knowledge of Dublin's geography," Venetikidis says. "So even Dubliners invited to a friend's party, for example – all they would have to do is to identify the nearest stop on the map, which is not something they can do now, and then work out the route they need to take."
As the iconic London Underground map had shown, "a successful integrated public transport map is the key to motivating people to leave the car and make the switch to a sustainable transport mode. Couple that with a modern network of rapid transit and you have the solution to congested city centre streets and an absent infrastructure."
Venetikidis is full of admiration for Harry Beck, the London Transport employee who drew the original diagram of its tube network in 1931 that still forms the basis of the map in use today. With its use of colour coding, spatial distortion and clear lines (like his own Dublin diagram), the underground map is the way most people relate to the layout of London.
"I think we've reached a point at which the different players involved in planning public transport in Dublin have realised the importance of simplifying the network," he says.
"I would hope that eventually they will also strive for true integration, including the long-awaited introduction of an integrated ticketing and fare system."

23 Hospitalized After Air Canada Flight Slides Off Runway
By Evan Thomas
Officials say the incident was not a crash, since the plane appeared to be in control as it approached the runway.
An Air Canada flight slid off the runway at Halifax Stanfield Airport in Nova Scotia Sunday morning.
Flight 624 from Toronto to Halifax was carrying 133 passengers and a crew of five. Twenty-three people were sent to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. (Video via CBC)
The incident followed a landing attempt during heavy snowfall. Officials say they can't assign a cause for the accident yet, which they are not classifying as a crash because the plane appeared to be in control during landing.
Officials could not immediately confirm the extent of the damage to the plane. Eyewitnesses told CBC it appeared to bounce twice on landing. It's been removed from the runway and will be analyzed.
"The airfield is closed to all incoming and outgoing traffic until further notice. It will be several hours, we anticipate, before the airfield will be available again," one airport official said at a press conference. (Video via CTV)
The airport also lost power briefly during the accident. Some reports, including this one in The New York Times, say Flight 624 might have clipped utility poles on approach and triggered the outage.


Hi everyone sorry it's been a while since our last update, but we've been busier than ever during the run up to Christmas on our Uptiding trips. Firstly we hope you all had an amazing Christmas and we hope 2019 is a prosperous one!
We would like to thank customers and friends old and new for a great 2018!
Now let's get down to the fishing!!!!
We have been flat out running Uptiding trips 8am till 4pm pretty much daily due to an unusually mild winter so far and with the mild weather we've been getting to sea more than expected.
We finished 2018 with a surprise and our very first ever conger eel which weighed on at 3lb 15oz and was released straight back after we got a picture. This is relatively small for a conger as they can grow in excess of 100lbs plus!
Also we have had excellent numbers of Cod over the rails in the run up to Christmas with around 70 to 100 cod coming aboard between 2lb and 6lb. Even over the Neap tides it fished well with plenty of colour in the water the fish were feeding and the unwashed Squid,Mussel and Lug worm worked a treat.
2019 so far has got of to a slow start we had a blow from the north west for a few days and that stirred things up, then the Spring Tides set in and when we hit the Uptiding grounds we found it hard work with around 20 Codlings on our first trip of 2019.
Our second trip of 2019 was pretty much the same, hard work and around 20 Codlings but we did get a cracker of a cod at 7.6lb which we have just been informed has made it into Sea Angler Magazine.
We are not sure of the reason for the sudden dip in numbers and we are confident that it will pick up again once the recent stir up settles.
We look forward to a good season for 2019 and if its half as good as 2018 were in for a good one!
All the best and tight lines for now !!


Join me for Ayurveda and Asthanga Yoga island-style! I'll be offering an Ayurveda class, book signing, and a led Ashtanga practice with Rich Ray. Meet me on the beach!
