Teenage prop Dawe is thrilled with the progress he is making at Albion
Posted on November 3, 2015 by Plymouth Sports Gazette Leave a comment

OLLIE DAWE did not have too many expectations when he turned up to train with Plymouth Albion in the summer, having only turned 18 a few months earlier.
But the youngster has become Albion's first choice loose-head prop, starting seven of their opening eight National One matches.
Dawe believes joining Plymouth and working with his namesake Graham Dawe was the best thing he could have done for his career, which in the summer was at a crossroads after surprisingly not getting offered a deal with Exeter Chiefs.
"When I first came down I just thought I would train as hard as I could and just see if I could get in the side," said the teenager.
"But it's been such a good experience. Hopefully, I can keep putting in the performances and Graham (Dawe) will keep on picking me.
"It is quite rare for an 18-year-old prop to be playing National One. It is good to have the backing of Graham.
"Graham has been brilliant. He loves the scrums and his pointers are great."
The England Under-18 international admitted the first few National One games were a bit of an eye opener for him and many of Albion's other young players, but Dawe does feel he has found his feet now.
"Coming from academy stuff into men's rugby has been quite a step up," said Dawe. "The players are bigger and the scrums are heavier. The first few games was about managing that, but now I think you can see from our performances we have become quite dominant in that area."
Dawe, one of six teenagers to have made an Albion match-day squad this season, believes he is progressing his development faster by playing regular men's rugby than he would have done at an academy.
"Coming here (to Albion) is a lesson every week," he said. "There are more things I learn training here and playing with the boys on a Saturday than I would playing academy games.
"In this league I do come up against some experienced props and they look at me and you can see they're thinking 'you're quite young'. But it's about trying to get the upper hand. They try some funny things, but that's life."
Devonian Dawe came through Exmouth's junior ranks.
He said: "I started playing rugby at Exmouth at about 11 or 12. I went through Exmouth and then went to school at Bicton when I was 16 and I got in the Chiefs' academy. I went through the academy and then came down here.
"I actually started as a number eight, but I was a bit big to get around the pitch, so I became a prop and I now love the position I play."
Albion are set to host Exmouth A in a development match on Tuesday, December 8 at Brickfields (7.30pm).

Carlos Martinez "Living The Dream" for Dominican Republic

MIAMI (AP) — Jose Bautista homered and drove in four runs Thursday, and the Dominican Republic opened its bid for a second consecutive World Baseball Classic title with a 9-2 victory against Canada.
Welington Castillo hit a two-run homer for the Dominicans, who went 8-0 to win the 2013 title. Before the game, manager Tony Pena said his team looks better on paper this year.
Bautista singled home a run in the second, singled again in the fifth and hit a three-run homer in the sixth off Dustin Molleken.
"This is a team full of cleanup hitters," Bautista said in Spanish. "Whenever you contribute to the cause, you are happy."
Jose Reyes had three of the Dominicans' 15 hits. Castillo's homer came in the second inning, when the Dominicans bunched six hits to score four runs off Ryan Dempster.
"That's a pretty good ballclub they ran out there," said Ernie Whitt, Canada's manager. "There are no soft spots for sure."
Carlos Martinez pitched four innings in first career WBC outing and allowed one run.
"I achieved my dream — to play for the Dominican Republic," Martinez said in Spanish. "I said, 'This is my game.' I wasn't nervous. I simply worked as I always do."
The Dominicans were the home team and had the majority of support from a boisterous crowd of 27,388 at Marlins Park, with fans chanting, blowing horns and pounding drums throughout the game.
Dempster, a 16-year major league veteran who came out of retirement to pitch for the Canadians at age 39, lasted only two innings and gave up four runs. It was his first game since the 2013 World Series.
"I wish I would have made a couple of better pitches," Dempster said. "They're a really good lineup. They almost have an All-Star team."
The Canadians are in danger of being eliminated in the opening round for the fourth time in as many WBCs.
Dominican reliever Fernando Rodney had the crowd roaring during pregame introductions when he struck his customary arrow-shooting pose while holding a large plantain.
Rodney struck out two in the ninth and celebrated by again striking his pose, this time without the plantain. Jeurys Familia got the final out.
The game also had a somber side for the Dominicans, who hung jerseys in their dugout honoring Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura and former major leaguer Andy Marte. They died in separate traffic accidents on the same January morning in the Dominican Republic.
"A beautiful gesture from management to show the brotherhood of all Dominican players," Bautista said.

A deep dive into the crew who trains to save your life in water emergency's
by: Zyneria Byrd
Posted: Jun 5, 2019 / 10:07 AM CDT / Updated: Jul 3, 2019 / 11:42 AM CDT
It takes a special person to take on a dangerous job like the one the Shreveport Fire Department Dive Team does each day.
8 men and one woman train to be part of the elite dive team.
"We're not diving in clear water, this isn't recreational diving, this is dirty water and cold water," Paul Hill, Shreveport Fire Department Dive Team Coordinator said.
Training for anything and everything.
"Whether it's raining, cold, or hot. So whatever happens if we have to search for somebody or search for a weapon we can't do it on every sunny day sometimes it's got to be bad conditions."
And doing it often
"We train once a month, we spend at least two hours of training once a month and three times a year we actually do six hours days, where we are in the pool six hours training."
With very worn equipment.
"The equipment that we do dive with today, we do service it, but it is old equipment, we are not funded through the Shreveport Fire Department, but we do keep our gear up to date as far as servicing."
Getting money by applying for federal and local grants like the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation Grant, community donations and maintenance money from SFD.
"Almost all the equipment that we have has been donated."
It takes close to $5,000 to fully equip a diver before hitting the water.
But they aren't letting the lack of money stop them from the job at hand.
"We got called 56 times last year, which in other words we don't get called out to do water rescues a lot that's why we train as much as we do, we need to be prepared for what we are doing."
A high risk, low-frequency job.
"We estimate on Cross Lake during the summer we will have over 100,000 boaters on the lake, 100,000 people on the lake. And the frequency for something happening during that time is getting higher and higher," Hill said.
Dawn Ramsey from the dive team says, "we have to acclimate our selves to any situation because we don't know what's going to happen and when it's going to happen so you have to be ready to get into the water in any atmosphere."
A job that you have to work as one to get it done.
"This is a team effort, we work as a team, as a family, we're all here for the same outcome. Hopefully to recover everyone safely," Ramsey said.
Hill says, " we do this because we like to help people in there time of need."
If would like to donate any diving equipment you can make a drop it off at the Shreveport Fire Department central station.

'Fresh Off the Boat' Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: Collaborative costumes come undone
ByRobby Ritacco
"It's here," Louis declares in the cold open to "Louisween," the third episode of Fresh Off the Boat's third season. Louis' favorite holiday is approaching, and all he wants is to share it with his partner in crime: Jessica.
Ever the naysayer when it comes to Halloween, Jessica rejects Louis' holiday spirit at every turn. Instead, she's utilizing the rest of the Huangs' distraction with Halloween to focus on her own spooky activity. She's working on her debut horror novel, A Case of a Knife to the Brain, under the pen name A. L. Tyson — you know, to keep "the crazies" from tracking her down when it becomes a massive success.
Louis is stumped by how someone who loves Stephen King so much could possibly hate Halloween, but to Jessica, the traditional Halloween thrills and chills aren't actually scary — it's all "amateur hour."
Louis, dressed as "Pete Vampras" — Pete Sampras' undead doubles partner from Transylvania — takes Jessica's critique as a challenge and sets out to scare the spirit of his favorite holiday into her.
But Jessica is unflinching. Efforts like the old "severed head in the oven" gag get no response. And when Louis ups the ante, frantically telling Jessica about how he just ran over someone with his car, Jessica doesn't miss a beat. "Are there any pieces stuck in the grill?" she asks, before laying out a complicated schematic for how they'll cover up Louis' fabricated murder.
At his wit's end, Louis levels with Jessica in hopes of getting her to understand how important Halloween is to him, reminding her that when Christmas — her favorite holiday — rolls around, she gets upset if Louis doesn't invest his time or energy into the festivities. Jessica fires back that Christmas is different because it's important to her, and she wants the people she loves to share in the enjoyment with her. With that said aloud, it all clicks into place, and Jessica realizes she's been impeding Louis' enjoyment of the festivities.
Game, set, match: Vampras.
Meanwhile, two other partners in crime find themselves at odds: Emery and Evan. The brothers are trying to plan out coordinating outfits, but they're worried they peaked with last year's Silence of the Lambs costume (the episode cuts to a clip from last season's Halloween episode — "Miracle on Dead Street" — featuring Emery dressed as a lamb and Evan in the iconic straight-jacketed Hannibal Lecter garb).
Emery was under the impression he'd be going as Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill's character from Jurassic Park) with Evan as Barney the dinosaur, whom Emery would cart around in a wheelbarrow decked out as a dinosaur cage. But Evan "didn't think they'd settled on a costume yet" (which seems like non-confrontational Evan code for "absolutely not").
They go back to the drawing board, and Emery proposes he go as Indiana Jones and Evan go as Short Round; Evan instead comes out as Indiana Jones in his archaeology professor garb, because he doesn't want to be Short Round. (After all, who wants to be Short Round — especially when their partner gets to be Indy?)
Evan's tired of playing the sidekick — he wants to take point for this costume. Emery's fine with that, until he sees what Evan comes up with: two personalities from the O.J. Simpson trial. Evan wants to go as Superior Court Judge Lance Ito, and he's prepared a "famous house guest" Kato Kaelin costume for Emery.
The two never come to agree on a motif, but they do agree that they should both get to wear a costume they'll enjoy. They settle on the mismatched pair of Indiana Jones and Lance Ito — and it's a good thing they did, because Evan's recreation of Ito's frustrated nose-pinch is a high point of the episode (up there with Grandma Jenny first wheeling on-screen in her Grimace costume).
Eddie's story this week is fairly short and sweet: He convinces his friends to cancel their trick-or-treating plans and head to a party that Nicole is throwing, as this will be their only chance to attend a high school Halloween party as middle schoolers.
Eddie and crew roll up dressed as a motley crew of so-very-'90s characters, including Eddie as Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes' character from White Men Can't Jump), Dave as teen wolf Scott McCall and Trent as Indiana Hoosiers coach Bobby Knight (complete with throwable chair).
But the party's a bust: It's just Nicole and her friends (dressed as the Spice Girls, with Nicole as Sporty Spice) and Eddie and his friends — much to the chagrin of the high schoolers. Both Nicole's and Eddie's friends bail for another party, leaving Nicole fretting that word will spread about how lame her party was.
Eddie, remembering all the times Nicole stuck her neck out for him and his friends when she was still in middle school with them, sticks by her side. "It only takes two to party," he notes, so they crank up the stereo, blast some Snoop Dogg and get down — until the cops show up.
Their arrest serves up an unintended bonus, however; it gets the rumor mill turning at Nicole's high school. Word quickly spread about Nicole's epic Halloween party, which was apparently so wild that the cops arrested everyone there. Naturally, those who bailed find themselves quite jealous.
The next morning, Jessica makes amends with Louis, glumly donning the cat ears he bought her. "I am a cat now," she deadpans, as the whole family gears up for some Nov. 1 trick-or-treating so that Jessica can give Louis a bit of the authentic, traditional Halloween he so desired.
The three pair-ups in this episode — Louis with Jessica, Emery with Evan and Eddie with Nicole — all struggled with what level of sacrifice is feasible for the well-being of a partnership.
Eddie sacrificed free candy and perhaps a better party for Nicole, knowing she's made plenty of sacrifices for him in the past.
When choosing a theme that wouldn't leave their partner feeling slighted proved untenable, Emery and Evan sacrificed a tradition they'd been looking forward to.
And when Jessica realized the impact her rejection of all things Halloween was having on Louis' enjoyment of his favorite holiday, she proved unable to sacrifice his feelings for her own exemption from the festivities.

With a focus on women in metal music, like organizer Kaija Kenney seen here singing with her band Anarcheon, the Metalocalypstick music festival at Interlakes this Canada Day weekend (July 1-2) offers a mix of various heavy and hard rock styles, with a bit of country and other genres.

Interlakes rodeo grounds will rock with heavy to country genres

The summer festival season in the South Cariboo is welcoming an all-new genre in an outdoor metal music celebration at Interlakes.
Metalocalypstick, Western Canada's only outdoor festival celebrating Women In Metal, is happening at the Interlakes Rodeo Grounds on July 1 and 2.
Festival director Kaija Kinney says part of this festival's uniqueness is that it doesn't focus on the more aggressive music genres of metal, punk and hard rock, but rather the women who are performing the music.
While plenty of folks enjoy its heavy music styles, this festival features more than just the metal music, with everything from rock to country – and its 18 bands performing all include a female member, or several, she explains.
"I think it's a huge thing for women, especially in metal, and young girls who are wanting to get into music."
Kinney says it is open to all ages, and offers three days free camping (June 30, July 1 and 2), baseball and beaches included in the weekend pass price of $90, or one day for $60, are available online at Thepointofsale.com (with a nominal ticket fee), as well as at the gate. Children ages 11 and under are free.
This event empowers women by bringing them together so you see the female drummers, bassists, guitar players, singers, "everything you can think of, even a flute player," she adds.
"Especially the metal music, you always see men, and you don't see women as much. So I think putting them all together is really great because you just see the different array of musicians, the different types of music."
Metalocalypstick is in its second year, and once again hosting 18 bands from across Canada and internationally on Canada Day weekend. Kinney says last year's inaugural festival was held in Valemount, but this year Interlakes was chosen after an intensive search, and its organizers hope it might remain in that community.
"We tend to go after smaller communities because it [may] grow the community, if that's what the town wants."
This year's lineup features bands Cabrakaan (Toluca, Mexico), Sovereign Council (Kingston, ON), Violent Betty (Saskatoon, SK), Atmora (Windsor, ON), Scythia (Calgary, AB), Massive Scar Era (Vancouver, BC / Cairo, Egypt) and lots more.
"It's a heavy music fest, but here's symphonic metal, thrash metal, power metal, hard rock. One band [Meteor Tree from Kamloops] infuses Aboriginal-style music into metal – it's really cool."
It is promoted as a great summertime destination event for an enjoyable weekend of music, camping and activity, and will have artisan and food vendors on site, as well as (licensed) beverages.
Both days, July 1 and 2, gates open at 11 a.m. and the bands hit the stage at 1 p.m. and play until about 10 p.m.
Campers can set up their tents or park their recreational vehicles along the rodeo grounds after the gates open on July 1.
Barbecue foods will be available as well as BC Boys lunch truck, and more vendors are welcomed, and may send questions or booth requests by e-mail to metalocalypstickfest@gmail.com, or call 1-604-353-9441 (anytime right up to the event date).
The Interlakes Rodeo Grounds are located at 7592 Highway 24, east of 100 Mile House (near Roe Lake), behind the Interlakes Community Centre hall.

Bollywood Box Office: October 31-November 2
October 31 through November 2, 2014, proved to be a dud of a weekend for new Bollywood releases in the United States and Canada. According to Bollywood Hungama, Rekha's big-screen return, Super Nani, pulled in just $26,746 from 44 theaters ($608 average per screen).
Super Nani's performance is nowhere near as embarrassing as that of Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans, which grossed $4,927 from 50 theaters ($99 average). As awful at that opening weekend is, it's still better than those of six other Hindi films that opened in North America this year: Siddharth ($4,564), Gang of Ghosts ($4,509), Karle Pyaar Karle ($3,110), Koyelaanchal ($1,762), Ya Rab ($1,404), and the big loser, Miss Lovely ($558). However, Roar opened on 28 more screens than the next biggest release in that list, Karle Pyaar Karle.
Happy New Year continued its strong performance through its second weekend, adding $693,696 from 239 theaters ($2,735 average) to bring its total to $3,184,576. It probably won't have enough juice to bypass The Lunchbox's $4,050,393 total, but Happy New Year should finish its run in second place for the year by a wide margin.
In its fifth weekend of release, Bang Bang added another $3,002 from five Canadian theaters ($600 average), bringing its North American total to $2,586,394.

Doerr's observation is borne out by a Bee analysis of California's spending and debt patterns compared to other states', which found California spends more per capita than the national average in every government program except highways and public welfare — but consistently runs budget deficits and takes on more and more debt.
Those debts include about $246 billion in delays, deferrals and unfunded liabilities to fund schools, public works projects and public employee pensions.
From its beginning, California has had a kinetic economy. Gold propelled it into statehood. When the Gold Rush waned, there was wheat, fruit, real estate, movies, oil, defense, aerospace, computers — and peaks and valleys with each.

Aussie business accuses Jay-Z of copying Ice-T amid legal stoush
December 22, 2019 Charlotte
An Australian children's products retailer being sued by music giant Jay-Z over intellectual property infringements has doubled down in its defence against the claims, accusing the famed rapper and billionaire of copying the work of rival rapper Ice-T in his hit single 99 Problems.
Last month Shawn Carter, who performs under the professional name Jay-Z, launched action in the Federal Court of Australia claiming online retailer The Little Homie had engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and infringed on his copyright. He claimed they did this by using his image and lyrics in its products, including a book that teaches children the alphabet by referencing well-known music artists, including the rapper.

The book features Jay-Z as the letter "Z" in the book, an includes a play on the hook from his song 99 Problems: 'If you're having alphabet problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my ABCs ain't one'.
The original Jay-Z lyrics in the song about being stopped and searched by police with police dogs are: "So if you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you son/Got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one".
In a defence filed to the Federal Court on Friday, The Little Homie denied it has acted in a misleading way or infringed on the use of Jay-Z's name or lyrics.
In response to claims of the misuse of 99 Problems lyrics, the company said its book did not infringe on copyright and "further, that the title and parts of the lyrics of Mr Carter's 99 Problems song were copied from another song also titled 99 Problems which was recorded and released in 1993 by Tracy Lauren Marrow (under the stage name Ice-T) and Mark D. Ross (under the stage name Brother Marquis)".

The company said Mr Carter's claim to copyright infringement was "embarrassing" given this fact.
It has long been on the public record that Jay-Z's 99 Problems is based on the 1993 song 99 Problems, which was released by Ice-T and Brother Marquis.
The 1993 version of the song includes the hook: "So if you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you son./Got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one".
In a 2014 interview with Radio.com, Mr Marrow said Mr Carter had "paid for the publishing" to remake 99 Problems. Neither Mr Marrow nor Mr Ross have ever taken any legal action against Mr Carter around the ownership of the hook in 99 Problems.
Mr Carter owns the trademark to the name "Jay-Z" in Australia and argues that The Little Homie's use of his name without consent infringes on his trademark.
The company rejected this, claiming it uses a disclaimer saying that use of artist's names "do not constitute or imply the endorsement, recommendation or approval of those persons".
Mr Carter's US legal representatives declined to comment on Sunday.
The owner of The Little Homie, Jessica Chiha, also declined to comment.
The case is set for mediation in March 2020.

Buying a property with friends and family may seem like the ideal solution in an unaffordable housing market.
In reality, it's riddled with risk and is just one of the big mistakes that investors routinely make.
Today we share the five big rookie mistakes and how to avoid them.
Buying a property with your best mate might sound like a good idea: half the deposit, half the risk and double the fun, right?
It's all well and good while times are positive.
But what happens if your friend gets sick or loses their job, and suddenly they can't pay their half of the mortgage?
This is one of the many considerations that would-be property owners fail to take into account when they're excitedly planning a joint venture.
Jacob Duane, director of Bennett & Philp, a law firm that specialises in commercial litigation and real estate, stresses that relationships can often fracture after a poorly considered dual purchase.
He adds that although there is a long list of things investors should do when purchasing a property, there is an even longer list of what they should not do.
"You often only read of the success stories, but the fact of the matter is that it isn't difficult to make mistakes that could go on to have serious legal and financial consequences," Duane says.
Following are the top five mistakes that property investors make, and how best to reduce the risk of these happening to you.
Purchasing an investment property with those who are closest to you could seem like a good idea at the time, but it might just turn out to be the biggest mistake you could make.
It may seem like the right thing to do: a solid way of getting a foot on the property ladder or growing your portfolio while minimising your financial risk.
But it's important that you don't assume everything will go as planned.
Property and finance expert Noel Whittaker says that when considering an investment partner you should look closely at the differences in your temperaments, ages and investment goals.
He adds that the potential for changes in circumstances, for example new relationships, a death or sudden unemployment, are also key considerations when weighing up a business partner – and make no mistakes about it, an investment decision is a business decision.
"Your best business partner is always the bank. All they ask is that you pay them interest," Whittaker says.
Avoid this mistake by: Really thinking carefully before you invest with family and friends.
Investing with friends and family can result in a fire-sale outcome in which the vendors are left with no choice but to sell their assets at heavily discounted prices, usually because of financial distress. This kind of outcome can put serious stress on your relationships.
Failing to undertake due diligence correctly can have dramatic – and very negative – outcomes for property investors.
"At Bennett & Philp, we have a number of clients coming to us to cut corners and reduce costs in the due diligence phase by only focusing attention on the 'relevant' searches," Duane says.
Duane adds that commercial properties carry their own unique due diligence risks. For instance, many infrastructure charges to the land are not discoverable through the standard searches.
"Often these charges are only identified after a standard or sometimes a full town planning search, which is significantly more expensive to obtain. A thorough investigation of all aspects of the property will enable an investor to identify possible risks. Of course, not all risks are discoverable, but the aim is to reduce your exposure to risks.
Avoid this mistake by: Committing to not cut corners. It may save you a few dollars up front, but at what potential risk?
"Your lawyer is just one consultant in the due diligence process – it's vital that property investors work with a number of professionals from varying industries to mitigate any foreseeable risks," Duane says.
Recently, an investor signed a contract to purchase a $14m shopping centre development.
The contract came with a seven-day due diligence period – half the standard 14-day due diligence period for commercial contracts – which put severe pressure on the investor's legal team to cross all the t's and dot all the i's appropriately.
In situations like these, it would be ideal to engage a consultant or lawyer early in the process, as this would allow for more suitable time frames or terms to be established.
Working with consultants early on will also help identify any issues with the draft documents.
When it comes to purchasing a property in a self-managed super fund, for example, borrowed funds may only be used to acquire a 'single acquirable asset'; multiple lots may, depending on the circumstances, require separate contracts and separate trusts.
The risks associated with purchasing a commercial property in an SMSF should also be separately considered by a practitioner with experience in superannuation requirements, as a general conveyancer may not have sufficient experience in those areas.
Avoid this mistake by: Engaging relevant support and advice so you're not locked into unreasonable terms or unachievable time frames.
"Property investors need to extensively research not just the property but their advisors and consultants," Duane says.
Now more than ever it's essential for investors to get pre-approval from their lender or bank before they make an offer on a property.
Furthermore, when you are approved for a loan and you receive the loan documents, it's important to actually read and review them before you sign – or you risk being locked into a mortgage for several years that doesn't suit your needs.
Consider interest rates, for example.
The loan you have applied for and are being approved for may have been advertised at a very low interest rate, attracting your interest.
"What people may not realise is that the cheap rate from one lender might be offset by the fine print, which could cause you financial distress in the future, with ongoing bank charges and break fees," Duane says.
Legally, comparison rates must be advertised to try to combat banks and lenders misleading customers, but it's still worthwhile researching the loan market properly to ensure you're getting a mortgage that genuinely suits your requirements.
Avoid this mistake by: Working with a qualified mortgage broker who has specialist investment experience and can create a long-term finance strategy for you – one that will suit you well beyond this one property.
"It's important to recognise that property investment is a long-term investment, and as such investors should use a financial product that suits long-term needs and goals as recommended by an experience broker and following careful review and comparison," Duane says.
It often starts with a cold-call marketing introduction, or a free consultation awarded as a 'prize'.
Next thing you know the investor has signed up for an expensive, junky investment 'seminar' that is primarily designed to sell them property flogged by the organisers for well above its market value.
"These marketing tactics may lead to other arrangements that are fraught with the possibility of conflict, such as meetings with a property spruiker's related property agents, accountants, lawyers, bankers and so on," Duane says.
It can be difficult to tell the difference between genuine advisors and spruikers, keep this in mind: advisors have an obligation to consider the best interests of their clients and to prioritise the client's interest over the advisor's interest.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission released two reports in July 2018 specifying that the corporate watchdog would carefully examine the conduct of and any advice provided by one-stop-shop property spruikers.
"Not all one-stop-shop property spruikers do the wrong thing, and many are aware of their obligations to their clients," Duane says.
Avoid this mistake by: Asking questions and ding your own research.
"You can never ask too many questions when using a one-stop-shop property spruiker and their preferred associates," Duane says.
True advisors are in a precarious predicament if they are pushing specific products and referring investors to certain associates for financial gain, so ask the hard questions like: What commission will you make on this sale? How are these properties valued? What track record do you have in helping other investors profit from property?
"Property investors should consider whether the advice being provided is on the basis that their financial position has been considered in all the circumstances, and if all services provided are in their best interest," Duane says.
What stands between investors and success?

These notes on the design of an LFS just record my thoughts for the time when I find a student who wants to implement a file system. However, if you find any of the ideas useful, feel free to implement them; maybe we can then write a paper together.
Note that some people do not classify this kind of file system as log-structured (see Free Space Management); e.g., Valerie Henson classifies such file systems as copy-on-write file systems. However, throughout this page the term "log-structured" is used.
What are today's file systems missing? Are they not good enough? What does the proposed file system offer that existing file systems do not have?
Most file systems today only guarantee meta-data consistency in case of a crash or power outage. That means that, in case of a crash, you will find that the directories will be mostly preserved, but the data in the files might be lost completely (and yes, this has happened to me). Fortunately, this does not happen to files that have not been written to or changed for a while before the crash, and crashes are rare enough that many people don't worry much about this.
But if an application requires that files or groups of files are internally consistent, this cavalier attitude to data consistency is not satisfactory. Some people say that the application should use fsync() to ensure consistency, but even if the application programmers try to follow this advice, they find that it is hard to test, because it can only be fully tested by pulling the plug on the machine. And if a feature is hard to test and rarely used, it will often have bugs.
The consistency guarantee we wish for is in-order semantics: the state of the file system after recovery represents all write()s (or other changes) that occurred before a specific point in time, and no write() (or other change) that occurred afterwards. I.e., at most you lose a minute or so of work (and you can eliminate that with fsync()/sync() when needed). This means that if an application ensures file data consistency in case of its own unexpected termination by performing writes and other file changes in the right order, its file data will also be consistent (but possibly not up-to-date) in case of a system failure. Consistency through unexpected termination is much easier to test than consistency through a system crash, so it is much more likely that programmers will get it right.
Most file systems today do not give the in-order semantics guarantee. In general they give hardly any guarantee about data consistency, just about metadata consistency. This includes most journaling file systems (most of them offer just meta-data journaling from the start, and in ext3, which used to offer data journaling, this feature is broken in many Linux versions); and those that offer it, suffer a substantial performance penalty, as all data has to be written twice.
Reiser4 uses LFS techniques (called Wandering Logs in Reiser4) and other techniques to achieve very good consistency guarantees (it allows full transactions via file system plugins), although it's not completely clear if it gives the in-order semantics consistency guarantee. However, Reiser4 does not offer snapshots or clones (yet:-). It is also a much more complex file system, and thus probably less amenable to studying variations in the design decisions.
A snapshot of a file system reflects the state that the file system was in at a specific point in time.
Creating a snapshot of a file system is very useful for making consistent backups of the file system without disabling read access to it. They also allow access to files that have been deleted or changed in the mainline.
When a block is written, the LVM copies the original elsewhere to keep it for the snapshot; in contrast, an LFS just writes the new block into an unused block. The LVM approach probably results in a slowdown by at least a factor of 2-3 on large writes, and maybe more. Consequently, running with an LVM snapshot is not something that you would want to do all the time (e.g., to give the users some safety net against their own mistakes).
The LVM does not know which blocks of the file system are free, so it has to use additional space for keeping the snapshot data, even if there is lots of space left in the file system. Another way to look at it, is that we can give that space to the original file system and it can make productive use of it when it is not needed for snapshots.
A clone is a writable snapshot. It is useful for experimentally testing, e.g., installation of new software without risking the existing setup, and while keeping the existing setup usable.
Originally the main selling point of log-structured file systems was performance, in particular write performance (caching was supposed to make read performance a non-issue).
However, the write performance of file systems like ext2 is so good that it is probably hard to beat, and not by much; for most uses, write performance is not a big issue. The main contributions to write performance over BSD FFS have been completely asynchronous operations and improved block allocation policies.
Therefore, wrt performance the goal of the present project is just to stay competetive with file systems like ext2 and ext3 on typical workloads (and maybe exceptionally good or bad on artificial workloads). As a consequence, some of the design decisions in the present project are quite different from those set out in early LFS work.
To understand the following, you will probably find it helpful to read the first three sections of LinLogFS - A Log-Structured Filesystem For Linux first.
The original LFS proposals and implementations dropped traditional free-space management (based on maintaining a free-blocks set) in favour of segment-based allocation combined with a cleaner (a kind of copying garbage collector) for reclaiming segments. The rationale was that this would lead to better performance because it would eliminate most seek overheads during writing.
We did not come up with an efficient cleaning algorithm in the presence of snapshots and clones.
The good performance of ext2 demonstrates that the free-blocks approach is no hindrance to good write performance.
The cleaner has to perform a lot of copying when the file system is close to full, which is the typical state for many file systems. While the cleaner usually tries to run when there is nothing else to do, in situations where space is tight and write activity is high, it will have to work with users waiting for it and thus substantially reduce user-visible performance.
Writing a cleaner and tuning it for performance requires a substantial effort, and maintaining the file system meta-data to make a cleaner work effectively adds to this cost. By going with the traditional free-blocks set, we hope to be able to reuse much of the work that has gone into making it fast and effective for traditional file systems.
In addition, using the allocator of a traditional file system makes it more likely that the new file system performs similar to the traditional file system. One particular case that we are thinking of is log files, that are distributed all over the disk by classic segment-based writing, resulting in low read performance (that might be fixed by the cleaner).
You may wonder why one would still call the resulting file system a log-structured file system. That's because it still has the property of performing no in-place updates: All writes are made to free blocks (and overwritten blocks are not freed before the new blocks are commited).
In the presence of snapshots and clones, a block may belong to several clones, so freeing it in one clone does not necessarily free it overall. If garbage collection (cleaning) is not the solution, then the usual fall-back in programming languages is reference counting, and that approach is already well-established in file systems (i.e., inode counts), and that seems to be the right solution. Reference counting has been used successfully in a copy-on-write style system.
Reference counting incurs the following costs: Clone creation is cheap. Writing to a block with a count >1 may be more expensive by a constant factor than writing a plain block; the worst case is if a fully-used indirect block is written to; then the reference counts of all pointed-to blocks have to be updated (e.g., 1024 for a 4KB indirect block with 4-byte block numbers). Clone deletion cost is proportional to the number of blocks unique to the clone. These costs seem acceptable.
Once we eliminate segment-based memory allocation, how do we find commit points? One way would be to update the superblock(s) every time we write a commit point. This is slow, especially for loads with small synchronous writes.
An alternative is to allocate several extents (block ranges) distributed on the disk for commit points and record these extents in the superblock(s). Then we can use these extents for many commit points before having to update the superblocks again.
By using several extents distributed across the disk, we can write a commit block close to the data and meta-data of the files described in the commit block, limiting the seek time during writing.
One advantage of this approach is that we can read lots of commit points with a few seeks, requiring relatively rare roll-forward start points; however, to take full advantage of this requires organizing the on-disk information (especially the change records) and the in-memory data structures in a way that does not require many seeks on mounting.
To ensure that we recognize only commit points as commit points, the file system has to clear the extent before using it for commit points. Time stamps in the commit points are used to determine their order.
Of course, at some point the FS has to free an extent (to allow adding a new one to the superblock). This can be achieved by either producing a roll-forward start block (this frees several commit point extents), or by consolidating commit information from that extent into the other extents in some other way (this is probably not worth doing).
One variation on this idea would be to allocate and clear extents for commit blocks on file system creation, and never change the location of these extents, making writes to the superblock and later clearing of the extent unnecessary. In this variant only freeing of individual commit blocks (instead of whole extents) would be necessary. Problem: How to deal with bad blocks (if at all)?
Even with a free-block space management, an LFS can lead to fragmentation in some cases where a conventional file system does not fragment, in particular, when partially overwriting files. OTOH, it is also quite easy to defragment in an LFS. One way to deal with fragmentation is to transparently create a new copy of the file.
This is especially cheap when the file system has just read the file, as the contents are still in the cache; this is also the time when we notice without additional effort that the file is fragmented.
As a special case of this kind of defragmentation, an overwritten block of an existing file may be written back to the place where the original block resided, if that block is now free. This is somewhat similar to how journaling file systems work.
Snapshots and clones present a special problem in that context: They will be used for making backups, and most fragmeted files will probably be noticed during backup; So the file system wants to defragment in the snapshot/clone. If done so, this would inhibit defragmentation in the user-side snapshot/clone. How do we make the defragmentation affect all heads?
For a long time I had a blind eye for reference counting and was thinking of having a separate set of free blocks for each clone; I guess that the WAFL paper (which is otherwise a very good introduction, but does it that way) led me astray, and probably also a dislike of reference counting from my programming language background.
So the following are some ideas for how to make such a set-per-clone approach workable in a more general setting than WAFL. They might be useful if you need to know which clones a block belongs to, how many blocks a clone would occupy by itself, etc. But as long as you don't know you need this, this is probably not worth reading.
This subsection should be rewritten to use the concepts of the next one, for better presentation.
At each snapshot we have a set of free blocks (and complementary, a set of allocated blocks) for the files reachable through this snapshot. The free block set for the whole file system is the intersection of the free block sets of all the snapshots (including the head of the file system).
Allocating a block works as usual, and creating a snapshot has no immediate effect on the free-block set; when freeing a block, we free it in the free list of the head (and I'll explain a little later how this affects the global free list). The most interesting operation is destroying a snapshot.
So, overall, maintaining the free list across all snapshots is relatively simple, allocating and freeing blocks in the head cost not much more than in the simple case, creating a snapshot is cheap, and the cost of destroying a snapshot depends on how much allocation/freeing happened between the adjacent snapshots, which should be acceptable.
The union of the killed sets before any snapshot is disjoint with the born sets after that snapshot.
It may be possible to be lazy with some of the operations, and recreate the proper state of the various sets (actually we only need the free-block set) through these invariants when needed.
Clones complicate the issue, because the linear sequence of snapshots with one writable head turns now into a tree with several writable heads (the leaves of the tree). So instead of snapshots and a head we now think about clone points (where the history of the file system forks into two clones), several heads, and edges from the start or a clone point to another clone point or a head (it's probably better to use the edges as separate concept in the linear case, too).
The invariants above change; in particular, the killed sets of alternative edges can overlap (the same block can be freed in several alternative clones).
We have to represent the various sets (in particular the free-blocks set) permanently on disk, in the commit blocks, and in memory.
The operations to perform are as outlined above; in addition, there has to be a way to quickly find a mostly-contiguous set of blocks (this is probably already solved well in current file systems that are based on free-block sets).
The representations of sets with few elements should be relatively small, and set operations involving few elements on one or both sides should be relatively cheap. Also, reading partial/incremental sets from commit points during mounting should not require many seeks to complete the mount (either by having a data structure that does not require much seeking, or by performing the seeking lazily after mounting).
Probably some tree-based set implementation is a good idea for the on-disk data structure, with incremental change records for commit points; for most in-memory sets (which will probably be relatively small compared to the number of total blocks), such a tree will probably be a good idea, too.

Memory Partitioning and the related documentation, including this FAQ, is based on a prototype of the feature by engineering. It is not currently available for release. If you have an interest in this feature and would like to see it as part of a future product offering, please contact your sales representative.
Please note that additional detail on most, if not all of the following FAQ's can be answered by reading Memory Partitioning - Design and Architecture Overview.
It's a flexible, per memory class partitioning mechanism that allows for the independent specification of both memory resource guarantees (reservations) and restrictions for each process in a running system.
Memory Partitioning is part of an overall resource partitioning strategy. See Adaptive Partitioning.
In the context of memory partitioning, a memory class refers specifically to an independently partition-able segment of non-overlapping memory. The segments are established at startup and refer to the syspage asinfo entries (visible with pidin syspage=asinfo). The system architect is free to ascribe any attributes or purpose to the memory segments (with the exception of sysram which is the class used for general allocations) as memory partitioning does not impose any such attributes. Once defined in startup, and subsequently added to the partitioning name space, each of these segments is referred to as a class (or type if you prefer) for the purpose of partitioning and allocation/deallocation. The sysram memory class is special, in that it always exists and is used for internal (kernel) allocations as well as unspecified (un-typed) allocations.
Let's suppose a custom board had some SRAM implemented within an custom FPGA (which likely also had additional functionality which made use of the SRAM). This segment of memory would reside at a particular physical address and would be considered a different class of memory, not only because it truly has different physical attributes (faster, maybe persistent and perhaps smaller than the DRAM used for general storage) but also because it serves a different purpose within the system. Also suppose that there are several independent processes which all wished to allocate portions of the memory class but that some of these processes were more important than others. Memory partitioning could be used to partition this memory class into several partitions, perhaps of different size and type and allow the processes requiring this memory class to be independently associated with specific partitions. The more important processes could be guaranteed to have access to configured amounts of this memory class independent of any other memory classes it required or the demands of other processes. All of the processes could be "coded" the same way ... to simply allocate memory of the specified class without any of the interprocess coordination that would otherwise be required to ensure the priority of allocation to more important processes.
We (currently) rely on the POSIX typed memory interfaces for this.
See the Example above under What do you mean by a memory class?
The sysram (system ram) memory class is a permanent memory class which is used for all un-specified (un-typed) memory allocations. When your process does malloc(), you are implicitly requesting an allocation of the system ram memory class. See also What do you mean by a memory class?
The system partition is a permanent partition of the sysram memory class. Unless otherwise specified, all process will be associated with the system partition. That is, without specifically associating with a different sysram memory class partition, all processes will be associated with the system partition for their sysram memory class (ie. malloc and friends) allocations. Note that although the system partition is only visible when the memory partitioning module is installed, conceptually it always exists. In fact without memory partitioning, you effectively have the equivalent of a single class, single partition system with a minimum size of 0 and a maximum size of infinity.
The minimum size attribute establishes a reservation or guarantee for allocations made by processes associated with the partition. The maximum size attribute establishes a restriction on allocations made by processes associated with the partition.
When a partition is created/modified, a non-zero minimum size attribute indicates that the specified amount of memory for the class should be set aside (reserved) for future allocations by processes associated with the partition. See also What is reserved memory?
When a partition is created/modified, the maximum size attribute will specify a limit on the amount of memory that can be allocated by all processes associated with the partition. Don't worry, you can specify infinity for this attribute ... but you'll still only get as much memory as is physically available ... but 'ya know what's cool ... if you dynamically expand your physical memory, you'll be able to just use it. See also What is discretionary memory?
Well, although both attributes exist, you can set them to the same value and get the same behaviour as you do with other partitioning schemes ... fixed partition size of no more and no less. That's like having just one attribute. We think our scheme provides more flexibility and is more adaptable to variable processing conditions, like transient memory allocations, and so we allow these attributes to be independently specified.
Discretionary memory is memory that you may or may not have access to, depending on your system wide partition configuration and the behaviour of other processes in the system. It's what you have when you don't use memory partitioning or don't use Neutrino (shame). From a partitioning perspective, it's the numerical difference between the maximum size attribute and the minimum size attribute. Discretionary memory represents memory that exists beyond the reservations established by all partitions in a system (and it may be configured to be zero) that is available for allocation to any process in any partition that has not yet exceed its maximum size limit. See Memory Partitioning - Design and Architecture Overview for a pretty good description of the types of partitions that can be configured and how they might be used.
Ok, this is a tough one, but we do have an answer. In fact all of the internal (kernel) allocations in the system are subject to the same partitioning rules as for user space allocations. Since most of the internal allocations are being performed on behalf of some process (yes, there are a few which exist that are not accountable to any one process), we simply figure out what partition that the requesting process is associated with, apply the partitioning rules, and either fail or pass the request. In fact procnto (a process) is subject to the same partition rules as any other process for its sysram allocations (which are governed by the system partition).
It sounds easy but its actually a bit tricky to implement.
... and that's how we help stop you from fork()'ing yourself!
An POSIX interface is defined which allows a user written application to get all kinds of interesting information on partitions and memory classes, the details of which will be in a forthcoming user document (still being written). Suffice it to say that it won't be much more complicated than open()/devctl()/close(). You could also just do a recursive listing of /proc/self/partition (ie. ls -1R /proc/self/partition) from a shell.
Yes and no. Yes, memory partitioning implements inheritance, but it is a bit different.
In order for a process to execute, it MUST be associated with at least one partition, a partition of the sysram memory class. With no partition associations, it would be like trying to execute software on a computer with no memory installed. So in order to ensure that all programs run, we must ensure that they all have a sysram memory class partition association. This is accomplished through inheritance. The very first process in the system, procnto, will be associated with the system partition. As it creates other processes, these processes will inherit their partition associations from their parent (ie. procnto) and as these processes fork()/spawn(), the situation continues, each child inheriting all of its parent partition associations.
Yes, partitioning software is an optional module.

Oh Snap! The Friggin Amazing J.Ho Sketchblog...: Another Dude With An Axe!
Another Dude With An Axe!
On the one hand, I think I more or less got across what I was trying to with this piece. On the other hand, I think it greatly suffers because I have not yet posted an illustration of He-Man proper, for comparison. I need to remedy that soon. In the meantime, I'll just have to point out the differences that would be apparent if I'd had the foresight to finish a pic of He-Man first. Lame!
Anyways, where He-Man has blonde hair and orange (copper?) bracers & belt, Battle-Scar is strawberry blonde, and has gold bracers & belt. I've given Battle-Scar pale skin and blue eyes, in contrast to the cartoon version of He-Man, who had dark eyes, and deeply tanned skin. The idea was to give Battle-Scar more of a Celtic or Nordic look (which is where his title of Berserker comes in as well). In terms of facial features, the cartoon depicted He-Man with more or less classic good looks--in comparative nerd terms this means that if you ignore his coloration and haircut, he pretty much looks just like Superman. I gave Battle-Scar a face that was a little closer to the rough-hewn looks of the toy. His armor is slashed and dented, to represent the battle-damage gimmick of the toy, and the scars on his body were added to continue the theme and give a visual cue as to his ability to take punishment (more in the profile below). On its own, I think this character re-mix comes off as just a version of He-Man, but once I post my take on He-Man, hopefully the differences will be more apparent.
My drawing is a little static, but hopefully it gets across the idea of raw power that I was going for. No characters with axes next week--I promise!
PROFILE: Young, loyal to a fault, and still somewhat naive, BATTLE-SCAR is nevertheless a veteran of the battlefield. Even before he obtained his magical breastplate, Battle-Scar was well known for taking heaps of punishment on the battlefield. His immense stamina and resistance to pain are magnified to demi-god levels by the breastplate.
Ostensibly, Battle-Scar was the first member of the entity that would become affectionately known to the populace of Eternia as TEAM GRAYSKULL, named so by Orko, much to the chagrin of their reluctant field commander THUNDER PUNCH. It is notable that Battle-Scar is the only member of the core team who is not a blood descendant of King Grayskull.
HISTORY: Years ago in the northern lands, the boy who would become known as Battle-Scar watched as He-Man saved his village from a brutal attack by Skeletor's forces. This left an indelible mark on the youth, and he strove to live up to He-Man's example of bravery and honor. Thus when word of He-Man's disappearance spread, Battle-Scar (now a young yet experienced warrior) wasted no time, travelling to Eternos immediately to pay his respects to his missing (and possibly fallen) hero and offer his axe in service to Eternos and Castle Grayskull.
Initially He-Man's allies were unsure of what to do with the young scarred warrior who stood before them. Teela decided to consult the Sorceress, and was bringing Battle-Scar to Castle Grayskull, when they were attacked by a platoon of evil Horde robots. Teela and Battle-Scar managed to fight them off long enough to retreat into the safety of Castle Grayskull's dark halls. However, more Horde Robots were on the way, Teela had been gravely injured during the battle, and Battle-Scar's axe was shattered, and his armor was blasted to pieces. The Sorceress saw to Teela's wounds and lead Battle-Scar into a room pulsing with magical energies--the armory of King Grayskull himself!
"According to prophecy, only the just and even-handed--those worthy of King Grayskull--may wield these implements of war," the Sorceress told him, "choose wisely, young warrior!" Battle-Scar was humbled beyond words--he could not bring himself to even touch the magnificent arms and armor before him. Everything was elaborately crafted and intricately inlaid with precious metals and gems. He spotted a dusty breastplate and axe in the corner; unlike the other items, these were plain and ungilded. The axe was rough and worn from use, the breastplate marred by slashes and dents, and marked with an ancient heraldic symbol of Grayskull's line. In spite of their obvious wear, both were sturdy, and well-crafted--they would serve his purpose. Battle-Scar hastily equipped the breastplate and axe, promising the Sorceress that he would return them as soon as the battle was over. As Battle-Scar ran to the Jaw-Bridge, the richly crafted weapons shimmered and faded--in their place was a collection of humbler, and yet more powerful implements--like the axe and breastplate that Battle-Scar had chosen, these were the true weapons of Grayskull's armory. Sorceress smiled to herself, "Well done, young warrior."
Now armed and clad like a god of war, Battle-Scar dispatched the Horde robots easily. After the battle, Battle-Scar attempted to return his newfound weapons. The Sorceress explained to him that he truely was one of Grayskull's chosen defenders, and Battle-Scar pledged himself to defend Castle Grayskull until He-Man returned.
In case anyone didn't pick up on it, the whole "choose wisely" bit is totally lifted from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
You take me back yet again!! Somewhere back in time "Grade School Vinny" is giving you a thumbs up.
It's as if He-Man got it on with Strawberry Shortcake and had Battle-Scar! (p.s.: he got his scars from the paternity suit and other various court battles).
it that your BF?.. I bet it is... haha.. nice drawing man... but I wanna start seeing some mixed action poses and perspective changes... I know I am one to talk, but for serious though.
lordshen: did they go to a real court to settle the paternity suit? or just "judge judy"?
illgnosis and jamilyn: thanks guys but... mixed action poses? perspective? battle scenes? group shots? you guys are dreamers! okay, maybe.

Metabolic syndrome is also called insulin resistance syndrome because it's thought to be caused by insulin resistance. However, it's possible to have one or more of these conditions without having insulin resistance, and it's possible to have insulin resistance without having any of these other conditions.
Prediabetes means having blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to diagnose as type 2 diabetes. Like metabolic syndrome, prediabetes increases a person's risk for progressing to type 2 diabetes. That progression can be significantly reduced if a person with prediabetes makes appropriate changes to their diet and physical activity.
Sometimes, people use the terms prediabetes and metabolic syndrome interchangeably, but high blood glucose is only one of the conditions necessary for diagnosing metabolic syndrome. It's possible to have metabolic syndrome without having prediabetes, and it's possible to have prediabetes without having metabolic syndrome. But they do often appear together.
This section covers the five metabolic risk factors, as well as risk factors for developing prediabetes. You can also check out Living with Metabolic Syndrome for information on what treatments are available for managing metabolic risk factors and prediabetes.
