This is something I couldn't help myself with. I've had it in my heaad for awhile now. What if the Delta Force (Touma, Aogami and Tsuchimikado) got serious? I didn't want to use the magic side, or get it too blown in proportion, so this simple two shot was born.
"Haaaa," Kamijou Touma sighed.
This first year high school boy was taking his day off to relax; he, Aogami Pierce, a tall blue haired boy with pierced ears, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu, a blond boy with a penchant for wearing loose chain necklaces were all together.
However; "I'm bored," a feeble Aogami grumbled lifelessly.
"Arcade?" Tsuchimikado suggested, equally drained of energy.
"No," Aogami replied. "Wanna go to the school grounds? I heard that the girl's basketball team is practicing."
"Nah. Besides, you just want to find a chance to talk to Suhana-san," Touma shot the idea down.
"Yeah," Aogami shrugged in response, not too disappointed that his idea had been shot down.
"Want to go take a look at the newest manga?" Touma added.
"Not really," Tsuchimikado was the one to answer.
As one, all three boys sighed.
In truth, they were just suggesting things as they came to them; not even they had more than a passing interest in what idea's they were giving on what they wanted to do today.
Right now, it was a bright Sunday morning, nearing noon. This would most likely be the last warm day before it got too cold to hang around outside.
They had found a clear area of the park; it was both quiet and peaceful, with only a single bench overlooking what was quickly becoming the boy's favourite view of Academy City.
From where they were, Academy City shone in the sunlight, a view that didn't get any worse in the night, when the City illuminated itself.
Touma was sitting on the bench, his head lolling back and his body completely relaxed. Aogami was laying face up on the soft grass in front and to the right of him Touma his eyes closed, as usual. Tsuchimikado was to Touma's left, sitting facing them with his back against a tree.
It was as though this trio, named the Delta Force by their classmates, a testament to both their energetic attitude and their idiocy, and a name they bore with pride, had had the life drained right out of them.
It was in this sorry state that they were approached.
Ten girls in all, every single one of them Middle school Ojou-sama's wearing the Tokiwadai winter uniform with their chests held high, a mistake that Aogami didn't even have the energy to capitalise on.
"Oh dear," the lead girl sigh, shaking her head from left to right slowly, causing her long dark hair to follow its movements. "It appears that some lowly boys have invaded our picnic spot."
Not one boy turned to regard the intruders; Aogami and Tsuchimikado exchanged glances, but Touma hadn't even raised his head to look forward.
At this blatant lack of acknowledgement, the girl frowned deeply. "If you would be so kind as to leave, we would most appreciate it," the girl smirked.
"There's plenty of room," Touma told them bluntly.
"You are mistaken; how could there ever be enough room for you with us here." Was the girl's increasingly terse response.
The other girls were strangely silent, and had been the whole time, simply watching the exchange.
Finally, Aogami was the first to regard the girls, giving them a brief once over. At any other time, he would be ecstatic and enthusiastic as he looked them over, paying special attention to everything about them from their height to their weight, to their bust, and even what they were wearing right.
Right now though, his energy was so low that even giving the younger girls a once over was turning out to be more effort than it was worth.
There were two second years and the other eight were first year students. The only one with a decent bust was a first year girl with her brown hair in a tight ponytail. The rest ranged from washboard flat to A-cup.
The girl who had been speaking was one of the second years, and had long dark hair flowing freely, pale skin and brown eyes; noting special, even to Aogami.
He much preferred the ponytailed girl, or perhaps the one directly to her right, who may have been washboard flat, but had shocking blue eyes.
Well, it wasn't like size mattered to Aogami anyway.
"Are you listening?" the Tokiwadai girl continued to talk, her voice now shaking in barely restrained anger.
"You're right," Aogami let out. "With you here, there is no way we could fit. The other girls can stay though."
"Ar-Are you calling me fat?"
"Don't worry. Chubby girls are good too."
"Either stay or go," Tsuchimikado let out. "But we can't be bothered leaving."
"Don't you know who I am? I am Motaki Ruri of the Motaki family, and I order you to-"
"We don't care," Touma stated, the loudest any of the three boys had been all day.
"How dare a bunch of delinquents like you ignore my words; you nothing but trashy bullies who-"
"Funny, I thought you were the bully. Coming all the way over here just to try and push us around."
"We are here for a picnic, not-"
"Then where is it?" Tsuchimikado asked.
"Where is what?"
"The picnic basket, and the blankets, and the drinks. You'll get grass stains if you're not careful; I wonder what you're classmates will think you were up too?" Tsuchimikado quipped, causing Aogami to chuckle and Touma to grin, not that anyone noticed. He still hadn't looked at the girls.
"Silence!" Ruri exploded. "I will not have a bunch of ruffians speak to me in that way." Her eyes narrowed dangerously at the blue haired boy. "I've heard of you, all of you," she swept her eyes to each of them, before turning back to look down on Aogami again. "Aogami Pierce, a degenerate Otaku who lusts after unsuspecting women. A dangerous man who attacked my dear friend Bo-chan," she gestured to a first year on her left, one with brown eyes and hair done in pigtails down her back.
"Hey, I would nev-" Aogami began, but was steamrolled over.
"Truly a dangerous man; the type that'll never find a lover, and will either spend the rest of his days alone or in prison. Tsuchimikado Motoharu," she turned to her next target, "a disgusting man with a disgusting interest in his younger sister. What would she o if she knew, I wonder? Most likely break all ties with you, we could only hope. And if she doesn't, well, she works at our school quite often; I'm sure we can talk to her."
By now, both Aogami and Tsuchimikado were openly glaring at the girl, who seemed to have regained her calm.
"And finally, we have Kamijou Touma, a skirt chasing, lazy, incompetent, and above all pretentious boy who dares to appear before Misaka-Onee-sama."
"Huh?" the three boys were confused. How did Misaka get involved in this?
"Geez Kami-yan, if this is because of one of your girls…" Aogami said playfully.
"Well, if its Kami-yan, there's always going to be trouble," Tsuchimikado agreed.
Both boys rose slowly, glaring at the girls.
"I may have a broad range of interests, but I would never attack a girl like that," Aogami growled.
"I don't take kindly to those who threaten my sister," Tsuchimikado warned, cracking his knuckles.
However, when Touma stood up, he turned his back to the girls. "Let's go."
"What, why?" Aogami spluttered.
"For a little thing like Misaka, its not worth it."
"How dare you!" Ruri yelled. "Surround them!" she ordered. Slowly and slightly reluctantly, the other girls obeyed.
"Hold it! This Judgement!" a semi-familiar voice cried.
Appearing out of thin air in the middle of the circle made up of Tokiwadai students, another student appeared. However, this one was familiar to Touma, her reddish twin-tails and short stature familiar to him.
"Shirai-san!" Touma greeted.
With all this excitement, the Delta Trio's energy levels were rising.
Shirai Kuroko, member of Judgement, sniffed. "Oh, its you. What kind of trouble are you up to now?"
"Oi, we weren't doing anything. These girls just started trying to push us around."
"A likely story," Kuroko rolled her eyes.
"It's not true!" Ruri yelled, a tear in her eye. They tried to hurt my dear friend, but we stepped into help just in time. We were about to subdue them and report them to Judgement."
"Motaki-san, please don't lie," Shirai told her bluntly.
Shirai sniffed. "I wasn't born yesterday; I can see it in your eyes. You're lying."
Motaki just glared, immediately changing tactics. "Stay out of it Shirai-san. I'm challenging Kamijou to a duel."
"Wha, a duel? You can't be serious?" Kuroko asked.
"Oi,oi, why should I have to fight a du-" Touma was cut off as Aogami grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back, allowing Tsuchimikado to take centre stage.
"Let's make it interesting; shall we bet on it?"
"What did you have in mind?" Motaki smirked.
"Three on three. If you win, Touma will stay away from Misaka forever, and we'll never bother you again."
"Sounds great. I agree."
Tsuchimikado smirked, causing his sunglasses to glint. "Excellent. So if you lose, you and all those girls have to do whatever we say for a week."
"Wha? I never agreed to that!"
"I'm afraid you did," a much deeper female voice rumbled.
Instantly, all the Tokiwadai students stiffened. Slowly all fourteen people turned to face the origin of the voice.
There was a tall woman there, wearing a blue jacket and skirt, with a white shirt on underneath.
Her glasses glinted as she looked down on the ten girls.
"D-D-Dorm Mother," they stuttered. "H-How-"
"How long have I been here? From the very beginning. Quite frankly, I'm ashamed to have you in my Dorms. Now, considering you were the one to propose this duel, you will follow through with it. You have already accepted the conditions; its your own fault for not listening fully."
"The contest will be tomorrow in Tokiwadai; it will be a good learning experience. I assume it will be a battle?"
"Yes," the blond boy nodded.
"So violent," the Dorm Manager shook her head. "No matter. Understand this," she turned back to her charges. "If you win, I will decide your punishment. If you lose, they will. Shirai-san," she turned to the Judgement member. "You will act as referee, and in the event the Motaki-san and her party lose, you will decide how far these boys can go in bossing the girls around. Is all of that clear?"
"Crystal," Aogami smiled.
Touma looked to each interested party; his own friends anger and eagerness, Kuroko's confusion, Motaki's fear and the Dorm Manager's fury.
He had been hoping for a lazy day with his friends, Index with Himegami and out of his hair.
Instead he got this. Sure, he could understand his friend's feelings, but he didn't want to fight, not unless they tried to hurt his friends. Now, there didn't seem to be a choice. There was only one thing to say. "Fuko da."
A/N: Yes, I know that the three boys aren't exactly in character, but this is more or less intentional. They are having one of those days were you have no enegy or drive, not even to avoid a fight. Oh, and yes, Aogami will have an ability in this. I've already decided what. You should know though, I'll never use the same power for that guy twice.

Maybe it's just my horrible luck, but it seems to me that the quality (which of course really wasn't that high to begin with) of these has really dropped of late. For ~$20 each I'm not expecting much really, I just want them to work properly and that is my issue.
I buy these screens for Nomad mods, and over the past few purchases the screens have been less than stellar. One batch the screen simply refused to show a picture of half the systems I tried it on (did not work on NES 1/2, SNES, N64, Sega 1/2/3/cd/Nomad (shows ONLY the 2 player split screen demo in Sonic 2 then cuts out again), and TG16; showed the Playstation Logo/SCEA boot screens for both Playstation models then cuts out; worked for 3DO, Gamecube, PS2, Saturn), and the most recent batch has a horizontal line of garbled pixels, ONLY on the Nomad. I originally chalked it up to POS build quality, but when testing it on any console other than the Nomad/Genesis, the picture is crystal clear, with no interference.
Even when using the UDLR flip, the interference travels with the flipping of the screen and doesn't stay on the bottom.
Same screen on NES, no interference. Same result on any other console EXCEPT the Nomad and Genesis.
Has anybody else been having problems with these screens or am I just snake-bit? Is there maybe something with the way Sega encodes their video output, different than other consoles? Any affordable alternatives? All I really noticed was AEIComp at $100ea which were, for this project anyway, unnecessarily touch screen. Any input, whether of your screen woes or any idea of what the problem could be is appreciated.
Also, This is screen "#3" not that it matters. I bought these late February so can't link directly to the auction.
Fed up with 3.5" backup Screens. Troubleshoot/Alternative?
If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

The Romford Rotary Club is one of the older established clubs, having started in 1922, just 17 years after the International Movement began. It is however very much a young at heart club and over the years has benefitted the local community with projects to help different groups. In 1930 it provided the initiative for the setting up of the Romford Social Services Association – a self help group in the days before much of the Welfare State was in being. It also promoted the case for a public library in Romford over a number of years, resulting in this being opened in the old Charity School buildings in 1930. Another 1930s venture was providing a visit to the seaside for children recovering from tuberculosis.
In the interim help has been given at different times to the local hospitals, St Francis Hospice, First Step, the Roger Reede Almshouses and the Women's Refuge among others. More recently the club has sponsored competitions such as the Rotary Young Musician event from which successful competitors can go on to compete regionally and nationally. Similarly the Youth Speaks Competition for teams of three pupils from local secondary schools are also provided with this opportunity. Mock Interviews arranged by our members at local schools can give youngsters confidence in approaching these stepping stones into the adult world.
Another international string to our bow is to provide Emergency Boxes which provide help in areas of the world where disaster strikes – the boxes provide everything for survival. Through the strength of Rotary International the worldwide network enables lots of projects such as the initiative to eradicate polio without funds being swallowed up in administration costs. It is individual Rotarians who give their time in other countries to provide all that is needed, vindicating Rotary's motto "Service above Self".
Romford is a lively club with its own social events, speakers at meetings, quizzes, guided walks, participation in sporting events, so that members can choose what appeals to them when they attend our weekly )except Bank Holiday) meetings.
We meet on Mondays at 1830 for 1900 ( No meetings on Bank Holidays ) at
Romford Golf Club,
Heath Drive,
Gidea Park,

On the 9th of June, 1975, Sister Irene and Sister Abhilasha started the Jeevan Jyoti Blind Residential School in Sarnath with a single student. Today, the school is host to 215 girls, 187 of which live in the hostel, the rest being day-scholars. The school is truly an innovative pioneer in education for the visually impaired.
The school has three main sections – A school wing dedicated entirely to the blind till class 6, an inclusive school that begins at class 7 for both regular students and visually impaired students, and the hostel wing. These three structures are built around a big lawn that boasts a vegetable garden, and several flowers that the children can identify by fragrance.
The nuns that run this school are extraordinarily dedicated to this cause, and have taken on the positions of teachers, mothers, doctors and friends for these girls. They are adamant that the curriculum be followed but also foster each student's individual artistic talents and inclinations. The girls read and write in Braille effortlessly, and are an inspiration in an otherwise hopeless situation.
His Holiness has donated a computer laboratory and a media room to the school. These 30 special computers use a voice-activated software called Jaws that allows for an interactive session, and a keyboard in Braille. This is a revolutionary advancement for the visually impaired, who until recently have had no access to computer education.
The visually impaired in villages have been treated differently and denied the opportunities available to their peers. This is the reason that it is especially rewarding to see these students being ushered into the technological age and being taught the same skills as their visually intact counterparts.
In the media room, the students are able to enjoy music and movies. They are given a wide range of information – news, educational movies, and the iconic cultural music and films of their times to keep them at par within their current temporal context. This is important for their growth as individuals, and is giving them a chance to experience the things they normally would not have access to.
This school is ever expanding- with programs for adults, education for the families of the disabled, medical treatments, and programs for people with a range of physical and learning disabilities. They also train candidates to become teachers for the disabled, in skills ranging from Braille and sign language to psychological support.

Exponential technology is one of the hot social media topics of 2016. Technological advancements are occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, to the point where we are realising possibilities that a decade ago would have lived only in the minds of science fiction writers.
Looking ahead, what will the world look like in five, ten, 50 years' time? What will the aviation industry look like?
I recently had the opportunity to attend two events discussing exponential technology: a Professional Advantage day hosted by Airways and the New Zealand summit for Singularity University. Several experts in their fields - from robotics, the environment and self-driving cars, to exonomics (exponential economics) and education - shared their experiences with exponential and disruptive technologies and provided their predictions for the future.
Glen Andert from Creative HQ proposed the idea of the Uberisation of Air Traffic Control, in which air travel was entirely automated. It sounded far-fetched and Glen is by no means an aviation expert. Interestingly, at the SingularityU summit, drone services company HaloDrop's CEO David Roberts said that "most entrepreneurs are not actually experts in their field and it is because of this that they are willing to try things that no others are willing to". This resonated with me because for the past 18 months I have been involved in the development of Airbooks, a digital resource that enables faster, better, more flexible training.
We took our vision for Airbooks and the future of training to ATC Global in Dubai last year. Overall our message was positively received and it generated a lot of buzz at the Airways stand. Many people said that it was something that they had wanted to do themselves. So, why hadn't they? Why was it that Airbooks was one of the only tools of its kind in ATC training when e-learning was well established in other industries?
After attending a number of events and speaking with potential customers, I've learned that as a safety focused industry aviation is understandably risk averse. The challenge for us, therefore, is to deliver a product in a way that acknowledges this and supports business goals. Like other industries, it's great to see aviation taking the leap into digital training and new technologies.
Armed with this knowledge, I recently attended ATCA in Washington DC to demonstrate Airbooks to senior staff at the FAA. We shared case studies demonstrating real world success stories, described programmes that enable customers to run pilot studies with a controlled group to reduce risk, and listened to their ideas about how digital and interactive training can help support safety goals. Airbooks was well received and we found ourselves inundated with visitors during the closing stages of the event.
Technology is changing at a greater rate than ever before and it is clear it will play a big part in all industries including ours, possibly helping to support air traffic density and higher demands for safety.

Using DNA Methods to Monitor Invasive Species and Biodiversity in Estuarine Systems
Water and sediment carry traces of DNA from fishes and invertebrates that inhabit rivers, streams, and estuaries. By analyzing water and sediments for DNA, we can discover what species are present. This method can complement or augment traditional monitoring techniques.
Project Summary
Scientists at the Wells, Great Bay, and South Slough reserves will work with the University of New Hampshire to design and implement a pilot environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring program at several National Estuarine Research Reserve sites. The focus will be on estuarine species of concern, especially invasive invertebrates (various crabs). Partners will develop eDNA sample collection and analysis protocols, training materials, and recommendations for the appropriate use of eDNA in estuarine monitoring. Sampling will occur alongside traditional monitoring programs to allow direct comparison and verification between methods.
Download eDNA Fact Sheet (NERRS Science Collaborative)
Project Period
November 2017 to October 2019
Resource Management Questions
Will advanced eDNA methods provide reliable information on biodiversity and the presence of target invasive species within a research reserve at geographic scales that are relevant to managers?
Will incorporating eDNA methods into monitoring programs provide an early warning system for invasive species at low cost?
- eDNA sample collection and analysis protocols
- Training materials and recommendations for appropriate use of eDNA methods

Man, at this time last week, I was sitting in the green room in the Big Brother studio ready to see the set for the first time. Now, I'm sitting at my computer with my cat staring at me. Oh well, my cat rocks, so I don't mind that.
With that said, it's a good thing I'm home this week because the house blew up this afternoon and I'm still not really sure why. Well, I know why, but I don't know if it should have. Apparently Becky told John that Shelli/Vanessa are going to go after him. That got back to Vanessa who assumed it was James who said it but then when James denied it, she assumed Clay said it. So, instead of brushing it all off seeing that it was no big deal, Vanessa had to be Vanessa and run to each person to confront them on it. This resulted in a near fight between James/Clay, Clay giving up on life, Becky panicking in the HN room, and Vanessa breaking down into tears begging John where he heard it from before Clay finally lied and said he did tell him.
Wild, right? Also, pretty dumb, but that's the way things go after so long. The smallest things get people worked up. Vanessa may have been trying to emulate Derrick's game, but she forgot to leave out the neurotic behavior.
Before I begin with the live updates, I was told that tonight will be another endurance competition!

Oregon goes "non-binary".
Let's connect a couple of dots today …
First, the White House recently announced that it would eliminate dozens of paperwork requirements for federal agencies.
Included was an obscure rule that requires agencies to continue providing updates on their preparedness for a bug that afflicted many computer systems when the calendar turned on January 1, 2000 – more than 16 years ago.
Tech note: In the 1900's, to save tape and disk space, most computer programs coded years in 2-digits, e.g. '1988'= '88'.
But, coding '2000' as '00' would cause many problems since computers would think the '00' would mean 1900, e.g a baby born on January 1, 2000 would be 100 years old at birth.
Date-dependent programs were affected, and the fixes were both costly and time-consuming. But, the job got done!
Seven of the 50 paperwork requirements that were eliminated dealt with the Y2K bug.
OMB estimates that the changes could save tens of thousands of man-hours across the federal government.
The second story comes from the state of Oregon:
Oregon became the first state to allow residents to identify as "nonbinary," neither male nor female, on their driver licenses and identification cards.Beginning July 1, Oregonians will be able to choose "X" for sex Instead of "F" or "M" on their licenses and identification cards.
Most Oregonians favored the change.
So, what's the problem?

How to Play Windows 10 Games Without Internet
The Microsoft Store is filled with great Windows 10 games, but unless you know where a single setting is, you can't enjoy any of them on a plane or on a train. Use this walkthrough to learn how to play Windows 10 games without internet.
Minecraft, Forza 7, Quantum Break and other Xbox Live-enabled Windows 10 games don't work when you're away from an internet connection because they use that connection to confirm you own your games. Because of that, there's no easy way to play Xbox Live games on early versions of Windows 10 without internet access.
But, the Microsoft Store does have a toggle for playing Windows 10 games without internet access after you download the Windows 10 Creators Update. You need your PC connected to the internet when you flip this toggle, but after that, you can enjoy any of the Windows 10 games in your collection anywhere you want.
Read: Playing Xbox Games on Windows 10: Everything You Need to Know
Here's how to play Windows 10 games without internet.
Sign in to your Windows 10 PC. Use the Microsoft Account username and password that you first used to purchase your games. Don't create a new account. Also, don't sign into someone else's Microsoft Account unless the Windows 10 games you're trying to play were purchased on their account.
Press the Start button on your keyboard or click on the Start button in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
Inside the Start Menu, tap or click the Store tile if it is pinned to the area on the right. Just look for the shopping bag icon. If it's not there, look for Microsoft Store in the list of installed apps on the right side of the Start Menu.
Click or tap on the three dots in the top-right corner of the Microsoft Store.
Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
Scroll down in the list of settings until you see Offline Permissions.
Now flip the Offline Permissions switch on. From now on, any app or video game that requires the internet will let you enjoy it without a connection to Microsoft's Xbox Live servers.
Click on the Manage Devices link to get a breakdown of the PCs you have configured to play apps and games from your Microsoft Account.
Open every game that you'd like to play offline and sign into Xbox Live to sync your latest saved game before you play offline. Just like on a console, you can only enjoy a game without internet access if it doesn't require it for a campaign or local multiplayer experience. Halo Wars 2's multiplayer won't work without an internet connection, but its story mode will, for example.
Before you go offline, go back to the Windows Store to make sure all your Windows 10 games have the latest updates. Also, download any downloadable content that you have for the game.
Read: How to Use Xbox on Windows 10
Offline Permissions is a great workaround for enjoying your favorite Windows 10 games while you're on a plane or without internet. Your PC will store any Achievements that you unlock or game saves that you create while offline until you connect to Xbox Live again. Don't stay disconnected for too long, even the Xbox One doesn't keep years worth of Achievements in its library forever.
Unfortunately, this is not a permanent fix. Eventually, you will have to connect your PC to the internet to reauthorize your Windows 10 games. They may stop loading if you don't. Also, if you don't connect to the internet soon, your progress won't get backed up to Xbox Live for safety. So, when you load the same game on another PC you will need to start over.

I'm not quite sure what to make of Just Add Honey's Wild Blueberry tea. On first glance, the blend sounds like a winner: green tea, white tea and whole dried blueberries.
The brew, however, is a different story. Don't get me wrong — the blueberry flavor is there. But the lingering taste after each sip reminded me of mustard. Like, French's yellow mustard. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not a fan of this blueberry blend.

Here are the keys. What do you want to do here?
Our Mixed-Use Activities Studio concept will only have 600 square feet. But you may be surprised about the different types of activities that can take place in This Space. Can a Mixed-Use Activities Studio, succeed as a Local Service business? We think so. The real question is, "What do you want to do here?"
We're asking you this question right now in Poll #2, but if your Local Service choice is Mixed-Use Activities Studio, This Space at 243 Union Street will keep asking you that question.
And you'll keep helping to decide. Bootcamp? Yoga? Kung Fu? Ping Pong? Comedy Show? Business Meeting? Day Care? By paying or not paying for the classes and events that are offered, you'll decide which activities will be scheduled there and which ones will be rotated out.
If we offer quality activities that you want in an inspiring space, we think you'll want to help sustain This Space as a vibrant space that generates social activity on Union Street. If This Space becomes a Mixed-Use Activities Studio, you'll keep shaping it.
And we'll keep transforming This Space accordingly. Like Lego.
Here's an inspiring video of what can be done with small spaces:

How to Run Failover Clustering FCI in Azure Virtual Machines IAAS
Till recently, SQL Server Always On Availability Groups were the only Cluster based High Availability option that was both supported and a recommended approach on Azure. You need to configure a failover clustered instance on the primary instance on the production data center for local high availability and an Availability Group replica on Microsoft Azure for disaster recovery in case of a hybrid deployment. For Hybrid, you needed a site-to-site VPN to allow communication between the primary data center and the virtual network on Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft included support (KB article 2721672) for volume-level replication for non-shared storage when used to deploy Windows Server Failover Clusters. This enables you to use 3rd Party replication providers like Doubletake Software, SIOS Data Keeper, StarWind Virtual SAN to simulate a SAN and enable FCI based Clusters on Azure a.k.a Geo-Clusters.
Configuration Details:
Steps to Configure the Cluster
After the network is configured and connectivity is achieved, the next steps is to configure the Cluster and SQL Server Installation:
- Joing the to VM nodes to Domain using a Domain Account.
- Enable Failover Cluster Feature from Server Manager.
- Run the Cluster validation tool.
- Configure Cluster with the Virtual network and Nodes.
- Configure Cluster Quorum Settings with "Add File Share Witness to Quorum"
- Configure Cluster Replicated Storage
- Once this is done, the next step is to Create a Replicated Storage with DataKeeper.
- Add SQL Server to the Clustered Disk
Here are the quick prerequisites for this setup
You need to use Azure hosted storage using either of the following options:
- Application-level replication for non-shared storage
- Volume-level replication for non-shared storage
- Use ExpressRoute for remote iSCSI Target shared block storage for simulated SAN.
- Using Azure Files for shared file storage.
- This is a third-party clustered role based solution and Microsoft will not support the functionality. All Third-party clustered roles will be supported by the vendor.

Elevator pitch
Imagine people who were so interested in their own health that they kept their health files with them? Every time they went to the doctor say, or the gym, they would show the professional the information that matters and they would demand meaningful input / feedback for their file? Imagine people were so engaged with their health that they reviewed some part of this file at least once a day? Updated at least some part of the file with new information every day? And researched how to improve their health based on the information in their file?
Imagine this file. A file so relevant that it starts the day you are born and gets handed to you on your 16th birthday, and stays with you for life. That contains so much health information that the doctor asks to see it each time you visit, preferring it over their own records.
This file is possible. Thor Infotech's Personally Controlled Health Record is where it starts.
There is a plethora of health and fitness related applications (apps), some supported by mobile apps. However, there is a distance between the "fitness / healthy lifestyle" (lifestyle) apps and "clinical" apps. Put another way: although technically an app can fulfil both these functions, in practice apps are either focused on the consumer or on parastatal bodies responsible for health and social care.
This gap in focus is caused by the different motives of the commissioning parties. Where the app is a commercial app, its mass appeal to consumers is most relevant – running, weight loss, nutrition etc. On the other hand, the motivation for parastatals is focused on potentially ill, or ill, or recovering patients – care plans, vital signs monitoring, inflammatory bowel disease etc.
In consequence, clinician and their patient do not benefit from commercial, market driven innovations in technology. The consumer cannot deliver their tracked health data to their health care provider. Little or no data from commercial apps is made available for public health purposes. And most significantly, few apps can speak one to the other, even among the commercial apps.
It's time to shift the paradigm; the focus of health and fitness apps should not be on consumers or patients, but persons.
The reason persons engage and connect with lifestyle apps and clinical apps alike is to achieve better health outcomes. The potential to gain better health outcomes is dramatically increased when people are engaged and connected with all aspects of their health, including the monitoring of activity levels and vital signs, communication with health care providers, managing care or health improvement plans and researching health related information.
By putting persons at the centre of focus,Thor Infotech will revolutionise healthcare.
Thor Infotech's Personally Controlled Health Record
A Thor Infotech Personally Controlled Health Record (thiPCHR) connects persons to their lifestyle apps, and securely stores this information over a lifetime. Secure transfer protocols enable health records from health care providers to be pushed to thiPCHR. ThiPCHR offers secure organisation and storage of this information and renders a complete summary of a person's total health story.
Thor Infotech's Research Areas
Continuous research, development and innovation explores and delivers the benefits that persons and populations can extract from individual and aggregated thiPCHRs.
Repository – answering the question "how can persons gain maximum benefit from this app?" this research delivers high quality, meaningful presentation of data, personalisation/customisation, and health education/health information.
Collaboration – a real focus on putting all health information into the thiPCHR rather than information being siloed in various commercial apps or NHS systems. And then passing relevant portions of information to providers as individuals or in a group, for the purpose of collaboration on an aspect of health improvement. This research is all about security, effective communication and data sharing.
Health management tools – the logical progression is the generation of tools for health management. Again, very person centric as opposed to being guidance for care or service providers. This research delivers tools for managing mental health or dermatological patient pathways for example.
The Insights and Analytics platform processes and explores data and returns useful information to persons and groups. Also, it consolidates public health information, marketing information and customer intelligence information.
The Mission
Thor Infotech is here to help individuals gather their health information and store this securely, to understand this information, and to use it to maintain or improve their health.

- Published: 03 May 2017
SPRINGFIELD- State Senator Michael E. Hastings (D-Tinley Park) is working to combat alarming veterans suicide statistics in the nation.
According to a recent study by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 22 veterans commit suicide every day in the U.S.
House Bill 2647 is a collection of comprehensive recommendations that work to ensure veterans have better access to services, treatment for mental trauma and depression as well as better access to employment opportunities.
State Senator Michael E. Hastings (D-Tinley Park), a former U.S. Army captain, is proud to be part of this vital initiative. Hastings served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and is in constant contact with many men and women from his unit.
As he meets with veterans in his community there is a common theme, disconnect between state and federal veterans benefits.
"Our nation's heroes shouldn't have to jump through hoops to receive benefits they qualify for," Hastings said. "The state and federal government is trying their best to make sure veterans have the necessary resources to transition back to civilian life. However, the hurdles, redundancies and extra paperwork they have to go through to actually receive the benefits don't make sense. Our goal is to streamline the process to ease the burden on our returning veterans."
This week, House Bill 2647 advanced with bipartisan support out of the Senate's Veterans Affairs Committee.
"One veteran that is lost to suicide is one too many," Cullerton said. "The proposals outlined in this legislation are common-sense solutions to help Illinois remove barriers between veterans and the resources they qualify for. This initiative wasn't compiled in haste but over hours and weeks of testimony, input and concerns raised by veterans, their loved ones and veterans organizations throughout the state. This is a true testament to their hard work and dedication to our nation's heroes. I'm proud to advance this measure and be part of this monumental effort."
A common theme throughout the process is finding ways to access veterans resources promised to the state as well as disconnect between federal and state resources. House Bill 2647 creates a connection between the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs and the U.S. Department of Defense to help streamline and remove redundancies when returning veterans redeem benefits.
Some of the provisions in House Bill 2647 include:
The DVA will be required to reach out to the U.S. DoD to identify veterans returning from units that have experienced heavy casualties, served in high-conflict areas or have at least one member who possibly committed suicide following their service. After identifying veterans DVA will create a proactive line of communication.
DVA will also work with higher education facilities to address issues that may negatively affect a veteran's ability to learn in a traditional classroom environment such as exploring the expansion of online classes, moving desks away from windows and crowded halls and providing veterans' only instructional hours.
DVA will be required to proactively reach out to the U.S. DoD to develop a system to allow veterans to file DD Form 214 (discharge papers immediately upon discharge). This is the required form for veterans to receive benefits.
Lastly, creating collaboration between local chambers of commerce and DVA to create an employer training program to focus on the needs of veteran employees and identifying veteran friendly businesses.
Hastings worked with Cullerton, chairman of the Task force on Veterans Suicide and a veteran himself, hosted multiple hearings throughout the state to hear from veterans, veteran spouses and community organizations to hear about their concerns and recommendations to ease some of the struggles returning veterans experience.

Kittel wins Tour 2nd stage; Froome limits damage after crash
Photo: AP Photo — Christophe Ena
LIEGE, Belgium >> Germany's Marcel Kittel met expectations and won the second stage of the Tour de France with a commanding sprint finish Sunday while three-time champion Chris Froome managed to finish in the main pack after falling to the pavement amid a mass crash.
Froome's Sky teammate Geraint Thomas held on to the leader's yellow jersey.
Froome was near the front of the peloton when a Katusha rider ahead of him lost control coming around a sharp turn with about 30 kilometers (20 miles) to go. The domino reaction also took down last year's runner-up, Romain Bardet.
Froome's shorts and several layers of skin were torn and he had to change bikes as three teammates paced him back to the peloton.
It was Kittel's 10th career Tour stage win.

The A&P Supermarket which once anchored the Somerset Hills Shopping Center on Route 202/206, at the convergence of Burnt Mills and Washington Valley Roads in the historic Pluckemin section of Bedminster had been a landmark since 1967.
However, time and competition would see it steadily lose ground, as competitors moved into its territory, and as the company failed to adequately modernize its marketing concept.
Old-time area residents may have been sad to see its demise, but it was time for a change. …continue reading

Everybody as of late is starting to mock my future career profession (cartoonist/animator).
I recently went to Naples Italy for 2 weeks for Spring Break. Got back on Saturday and then picked up my 3DS which was very fun. I got my glowing Summer tan which makes me happy.
I'm more of a satirist/political cartoonist, but if I was to go to animation, I would do Sci-Fi/Adventure.So, in short, on the comics page, I would be political, and in animation, I would do science fiction.But everybody's like "THAT'S NOT A GOOD CAREER THAT IS SILLY BLAH BLAH BLAH".
They busted the kid at a math competition?

Dad sneakers
When Balenciaga just launched the triple S sneaker, the first thing that came to my mind was 'Oh my god, these are definitely the ugliest shoes EVER'. However, as a clinical psychologist I am familiar with the power of 'exposure' and … since I am very sensitive to it, I quickly became fond of them through being exposed to the countless pictures of influencers and models combining these sneakers with fabulous outfits.
The triple S sneakers reminds me of the shoes that the typical 'American dad' used to wear back in the nineties. So besides the fact that they add some extra spirit to my outfit, they also give me a pang of nostalgia.
Unfortunately, these sneakers come with a price tag …
But that does not mean that we cannot wear a similar version of these sneakers, right?
I was in seventh heaven when I accidentally bumped into a pair at SACHA. Actually, they offer quite some 'dad shoes' and they are available in different colours. Note that there is a bonus: they are SUPER comfy!
So run baby run (to the shoe store)!

The "unknown pneumonia" was also mentioned in this post:In life mirroring Borat, the most glorious nation of Kazakhstan says Chinese are know-nothings and there is no new deadly virus in most wonderful and healthy nation
So authorities in Kazakhstan have denied a report published by Chinese officials that the country is experiencing an outbreak of "unknown pneumonia" potentially deadlier than the novel coronavirus.
The WHO are looking into it with the Kazakh authorities. The WHO are keeping an open mind about it at this point, but they suspect that it's actually just COVID-19 and that Kazakhstan have a problem with their lab testing. Kazakhstan are currently seeing large increases in numbers of COVID-19 infections.
It's a situation to keep an eye on however, regardless of the cause.

See you soon on the ice for another great adventure!
Back to Civilization!
We always wish good things to keep on going… We ate our last breakfast ration this morning and then packed down the tent. We carried two times 1,5km, all the way to the shore. Lars spotted the boat on the far distance. We hurried in the end to reach the beach with our gear from the second carry. The skipper was there waiting with 4 beers. The taste of a fresh beer after an effort is pretty unique, right?
Then it was time to jump on the boat and motor towards the town. Longyearbyen here we are!!
Hot shower, cheeseburger and a beer… And another beer!! Hurra!
Thank you Bjørn, Erling and Lars!
You guys have been great. See you soon on the ice for another great adventure!

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the auto insurance business is expected to grow 16% by 2016. Approximately 26% of auto insurance agents are self-employed. These professionals evaluate driver's insurance needs and select the best policy for their situation. But before launching your car insurance company, it's important to get licensed with your state and determine what types of auto insurance policies you want to sell. Here's a guide to starting a car insurance company.
Get an insurance license with your state. Most states require those selling auto insurance to attend a prelicensing course and to take a state exam. To find out if your state has this requirement, contact your state department of insurance.
Apply for a business license. Before selling your first auto insurance policy, you need to obtain a business license with you city. This can be secured by requesting an application from the city business office; typically located at the city hall department.
Purchase insurance to protect your business. This will protect your assets in case of a disaster or accident and also protect your company against losses resulting from lawsuits. Contact your state department of insurance for a list of companies that provide this service.
Select which car insurance policies you will sell. Large insurance companies such as Progressive Insurance allow independent insurance agents to sell policies on their behalf. The more insurance companies you have under one roof the better. This will allow you to provide your customers with more options and the best rates on insurance.
Market your services to potential clients. If you were a car insurance agent before launching your own company, contact each of your clients and provide them with your new contact information. Before calling them, have a few ideas about how to save them money by switching. Also, make a list of family, friends, associates and acquaintances and contact each individually to discuss auto insurance policies.
Get active in your community. In the beginning, the majority of your time should be spent networking and talking about your services. Attend community events, join your local chamber of commerce and find unique ways to talk about your services.
Consider working for an insurance agency before starting your own business. Getting on-the-job experience before opening your own agency will provide insight into dealing with customer and claims issues. Plus, you'll develop a client base that will help launch your new business.

Featured title on PBS's The Great American Read in 2018
Lemuel Gulliver, English surgeon turned ship captain, embarks on four fantastic voyages, each a clash with strange beings and cultures—from the eccentric to the odious. Island by island, he meets the savage but tiny Lilliputians, the hideous Yahoos, a stable of talking horses, a race of decrepit immortals, and the ghosts of Julius Caesar and Homer.
A parody of the popular seafaring narratives of his time, a harsh judgment against inherently corrupt human nature, and a satire of the ways of England, Swift's masterpiece was written "to vex the world rather than divert it." For generations, it has inspired it.
AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature's most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.
Revised edition: Previously published as Gulliver's Travels, this edition of Gulliver's Travels (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

It's the start of Jordan Sun's junior year at the Kensington-Blaine Boarding School for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately, she's an Alto 2, which—in the musical theatre world—is sort of like being a vulture in the wild: She has a spot in the ecosystem, but nobody's falling over themselves to express their appreciation. So it's no surprise when she gets shut out of the fall musical for the third year straight.
Then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington's elite a cappella octet. Worshiped ... revered ... all male. Desperate to prove herself, Jordan auditions in her most convincing drag, and it turns out that Jordan Sun, Tenor 1, is exactly what the Sharps are looking for.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
You know those occasional books you go into with a ~feeling~ about? Those books you just know you're going to love, even before you've read a single page? Well, friends, Noteworthy was that book for me, and I am happy to report that it didn't disappoint. In fact, it blew my (already-high) expectations out of the water! I mean, a bisexual MC + cross-dressing + a capella choir + boarding school setting?! Yeah, no wonder this was the book of my dreams.
Obviously, being the choir nerd that I am, I adored the plot of Noteworthy immensely. Jordan Sun, a junior at the prestigious Kensington-Blaine Academy (an arts school), runs out of options when she isn't cast in the school musical. So, with nothing left to lose, she decides to audition for the vacant Tenor I spot in Kensington's oldest and most reputable a capella group, the Sharpshooters. The only problem? The group is historically all-male. Hilarity and heart ensue when Jordan (or shall I say Julian?) gets into the group and begins to find her place. The plot is fairly straightforward and could easily have fallen flat, but Redgate writes it so well.
In addition to its super fun premise, Noteworthy features one of the most lovable casts of characters I have ever read. I absolutely fell in love with every single one of the boys in the Sharpshooters, and I loved reading about Jordan's newfound friendships with each of them. It's hard to pick favorites, but I adored Mama the most out of all the Sharps– his love of Haydn, Handel, and his general classical music/music theory nerdiness were waaaaaay too relatable. I also loved his friendship with Jon Cox– yay for close dude friendships! Ugh, all the friendships among the guys in the Sharps made my heart melt. They were always looking out for each other.
Noteworthy is, in large part, a love letter to a capella. I loved seeing Jordan find her place and find *her people* through becoming a member of the Sharps. Reading about her falling in love with a capella was almost like reading a romance in and of itself (one that I could relate to a whole lot). The world of a capella– and of choir in general– was portrayed incredibly well, too. Redgate perfectly captured such specific feelings I have experienced time and time again singing in choral ensembles: the feeling of nailing an incredibly difficult passage for the first time and finally hearing it click into place with the other parts, the rush of adrenaline that takes over before a high-profile performance, the way singing with other people forms bonds stronger than almost any other art form can. I liked the rivalry between the a capella groups on Kensington's campus, too– so fun to read about. Oh, and I adored the setting. I've mentioned before on the blog that I'm a sucker for boarding school settings, especially ones where school/campus life plays a major role in the story, and Noteworthy did not disappoint on this front.
Another huge reason I adore this book so much is for its representation. Not only is Jordan Asian-American, but her family also struggles financially, and the book explores the idea of privilege in an economic context (in addition to privilege in relation to race, sexuality, gender, and disability), which is something I haven't read about too often in YA. Oh, and of course, Jordan is also bisexual and coming to terms with her sexuality. She struggles over the course of the book with her attractions, and with labeling herself. As a bisexual woman myself, this was arguably some of the best bi representation I've ever read. It felt disturbingly close to my own experiences. It's brilliant in that it's left open-ended– Jordan is still figuring out her sexuality, and she's okay with the fact that she doesn't know everything yet. As expected Noteworthy also makes some A+ commentary on gender.
Noteworthy originally drew me in with the promise of bisexual rep and a plot involving a capella, and though of course I adored those elements of the book, I ended up becoming enchanted with every single element of this book. I found myself falling deeply in love with each and every character and feeling so invested in the trajectory of the story. If I had to pick one single book of my heart, Noteworthy would be it. I only wish this had found its way to me while I was in high school. This is the book that high-school-choir-nerd-Madalyn-struggling-with-her-sexuality desperately needed, but hey, out-college-music-major-Madalyn adored it just as much, too. 🙂 All in all, Noteworthy is a book you do not want to sleep on. It will give you all the happy feelings. Run, don't walk, and go preorder it ASAP!
Have you read Noteworthy yet? If so, tell me your thoughts below! I'd love to discuss. If not, what are you waiting for?!
