Luíz Inácio da Silva (Portuguese: ; born 27 October 1945), known as Lula (Portuguese: ),[2] is a Brazilian politician who served as the President of Brazil from 1 January 2003 to 1 January 2011. He is a founding member of the Workers' Party (PT – Partido dos Trabalhadores) and ran for president three times unsuccessfully, first in the 1989 election, then again in 1994 and 1998. Lula achieved victory in the 2002 election, and was inaugurated as president on 1 January 2003. In the 2006 election he was elected for a second term as president, which ended on 1 January 2011.[3] Succeeded by his former Chief of Staff, Dilma Rousseff, he left a enduring mark on Brazilian politics in the form of Lulism.
He is often regarded as one of the most popular politicians in the history of Brazil and, at the time of his mandate, one of the most popular in the world.[4][5][6] Social programs like Bolsa Família and Fome Zero are hallmarks of his time in office. Lula played a prominent role in recent international relations developments, including the nuclear program of Iran and global warming, and was described as "a man with audacious ambitions to alter the balance of power among nations."[7] He was featured in Time 's The 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2010,[8] and has been called "the most successful politician of his time."[9]
In October 2011, Lula—who was a smoker for 40 years[10]—was diagnosed with throat cancer and quickly started chemotherapy treatment. Since the cancer was found, he has successfully recovered and has since announced a return to politics.[11]
Luiz Inácio da Silva was born on 27 October 1945 (but registered with a date of birth of 6 October 1945) in Caetés (then a district of Garanhuns), located 155 miles (250 km) from Recife, capital of Pernambuco, a Brazilian state in the Northeast of Brazil. He was the seventh of eight children of Aristides Inácio da Silva and Eurídice Ferreira de Melo. Two weeks after Lula's birth, his father moved to Santos with Valdomira Ferreira de Góis, a cousin of Eurídice.
In December 1952, when Lula was only 7 years old, his mother decided to move to São Paulo with her children to rejoin her husband. After a journey of thirteen days in a pau-de-arara (open truck bed), they arrived in Guarujá and discovered that Aristides had formed a second family with Valdomira. Aristides' two families lived in the same house for some time, but they didn't get along very well, and four years later, Eurídice moved with her children to a small room in the back area of a bar in the city of São Paulo. After that, Lula rarely saw his father, who became an alcoholic and died in 1978.
Lula was married twice. In 1969, he married Maria de Lourdes, who died of hepatitis in 1971, when she was pregnant with their first son, who also died.[12] Lula and Miriam Cordeiro had a daughter, Lurian, out of wedlock in 1974.[13] In 1974, Lula married Marisa, his current wife and at the time a widow, with whom he had three sons (he has also adopted Marisa's son from her first marriage).
Lula had little formal education. He did not learn to read until he was ten years old,[14] and quit school after the second grade in order to work to help his family. His working life began at age 12 as a shoeshiner and street vendor.[15] By age 14 he got his first formal job in a copper processing factory as a lathe operator.
At age 19, he lost the little finger on his left hand in an accident while working as a press operator in an automobile parts factory.[14] After losing his finger he had to run to several hospitals before he received medical attention. This experience increased his interest in participating within the Workers' Union. Around that time, he became involved in union activities and held several important union posts.[15] Due to perceived incompatibility with the Brazilian military government and trade union activities, Lula's views moved further to the political left.
Inspired by his brother Frei Chico, Lula joined the Labour courts found the strikes to be illegal, and Lula was jailed for a month. Due to this, and like other people imprisoned for political activities under the military government, Lula was awarded a lifetime pension after the regime fell.
On 10 February 1980, a group of academics, intellectuals, and union leaders, including Lula, founded the Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) or Workers' Party, a left-wing party with progressive ideas created in the midst of Brazil's military government.
In 1982 he added the nickname Lula to his legal name.[2] In 1983 he helped found the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) union association. In 1984 PT and Lula joined the popular Diretas Já! (Direct [Elections] Now!) campaign, demanding a direct popular vote for the next Brazilian presidential election. According to the 1967 constitution, Presidents were at that time elected by both Houses of Congress in joint session, with representatives of all State Legislatures; this was widely recognised as a mere sham as, since the March 1964 coup d'état, each "elected" President had been a retired general chosen in a closed military caucus. Lula and the PT supported the public demand for a change in the electoral system. But the campaign was defeated by a vote in Congress that rejected an amendment calling direct elections for next year, and, in 1985, a civilian president, Tancredo Neves, was elected by the same indirect procedure, with Lula's support. Only four years later, as a direct result of Diretas Já! and after years of popular struggle, the 1989 elections were the first to elect a president by direct popular vote in 29 years.
Lula first ran for office in 1982, for the state government of São Paulo and lost. In the 1986 elections Lula won a seat in Congress with the most votes nationwide.[16] The Workers' Party helped write the country's post-military government Constitution, ensuring strong constitutional guarantees for workers' rights, but failed to achieve a proposed push for agrarian reform in the Constitutional text. Under Lula's leadership, the PT took a stance against the Constitution in the 1988 Constituent Assembly, grudgingly agreeing to sign the convened draft at a later stage.
In 1989, still as a Congressman, Lula ran as the PT candidate in the first democratic elections for president since 1960. Lula and Leonel Brizola, two popular left-wing candidates, were expected to vie for first place. Lula was viewed as the more left-leaning of the two, advocating immediate land reform and a default on the external debt. However, a minor candidate, Fernando Collor de Mello, former governor of Alagoas, quickly amassed support among the nation's élite with a more business-friendly agenda. Collor became popular taking emphatic anti-corruption positions; he eventually beat Lula in the second round of the 1989 elections. In 1992, Collor resigned, under threat of impeachment for his alleged embezzlement of public money.
Lula refused to run for re-election as a Congressman in 1990, busying himself with expanding the Workers' Party organizations around the country. As the political scene in the 1990s came under the sway of the Brazilian real monetary stabilization plan, which ended decades of rampant inflation, former Minister of Finance Fernando Henrique Cardoso (Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB)) defeated Lula in 1994 and again, by an even wider margin, in 1998.
Before winning the presidency in 2002, Lula had been a strident Che Guevara T-shirts.[17] In the 2002 campaign, Lula foreswore both his informal clothing style and his platform plank of linking the payment of Brazil's foreign debt to a prior thorough audit. This last point had worried economists, businessmen and banks, who feared that even a partial Brazilian default along with the existing Argentine default would have a massive ripple effect through the world economy. Embracing political consultant Duda Mendonça's advice to pursue a more media-friendly image, Lula became president after winning the second round of the 2002 election, held on 27 October, defeating the PSDB candidate José Serra.
Lula served 2 terms as president and left office on 1 January 2011. During his farewell speech he said he felt an additional burden to prove that he could handle the presidency despite his humble beginnings. "If I failed, it would be the workers' class which would be failing; it would be this country's poor who would be proving they did not have what it takes to rule."[18]
Since the beginning of his political career to the present, Lula has changed some of his original ideas and moderated his positions. Instead of the drastic social changes he proposed in the past, his government chose a reformist line, passing new retirement, tax, labour and judicial legislation, and discussing university reform.
Very few actual reforms have been implemented so far. Some wings of the Worker's Party have disagreed with the increasing moderation in focus since the late eighties and have left the party to form dissident wings such as the Workers' Cause Party, the United Socialist Workers' Party and, already during Lula's presidency, the Socialism and Liberty Party. Alliances with conservative, right wing politicians, like former presidents José Sarney and Fernando Collor, have been a cause of disappointment for some.[19] On 1 October 2006, Lula narrowly missed winning another term in the first round of elections. He faced a run-off on 29 October and won by a substantial margin.[20]
In an interview published 26 August 2007, he said that he had no intention to seek a constitutional change so that he could run for a third consecutive term; he also said that he wanted "to reach the end of [his] term in a strong position in order to influence the succession."[21]
Lula put social programs at the top of his agenda during the campaign and since being elected. Lula's leading program since very early on has been a campaign to eradicate hunger, following the lead of projects already put into practice by the Fernando Henrique Cardoso administration, but expanded within the new Fome Zero ("Zero Hunger").[22] This program brings together a series of programs with the goal to end hunger in Brazil: the creation of water cisterns in Brazil's semi-arid region of Sertão, plus actions to counter teenage pregnancy, to strengthen family agriculture, to distribute a minimum amount of cash to the poor, and many other measures.
Brazil's largest assistance program, however, is Bolsa Família ("Family Allowance"), which is an expansion based upon the previous Bolsa Escola ("School Allowance"), which was conditional on school attendance, first introduced in the city of Campinas by then-mayor José Roberto Magalhães Teixeira. Not long thereafter, other municipalities and states adopted similar programs. President Fernando Henrique Cardoso later federalized the program in 2001. In 2003, Lula formed Bolsa Família by combining Bolsa Escola with additional allowances for food and kitchen gas. This was preceded by the creation of a new ministry – the Ministry of Social Development and Eradication of Hunger. This merger reduced administrative costs and bureaucratic complexity for both the families involved and the administration of the program.
Fome Zero has a government budget and accepts donations from the private sector and international organizations. The Bolsa Família program has been praised internationally for its achievements, despite internal criticism accusing it of having turned into an electoral weapon.
Along with projects such as Fome Zero and Bolsa Família, the Lula administration flagship program is the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC). The PAC has a total budget of $646 billion reais (US$353 billion) by 2010, and was the Lula administration's main investment program. It is intended to strengthen Brazil's infrastructure, and consequently to stimulate the private sector and create more jobs. The social and urban infrastructure sector was scheduled to receive $84.2 billion reais (US$46 billion).
As Lula gained strength in the run-up to the 2002 elections, the fear of drastic measures, and comparisons with Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, increased internal market speculation. This led to some market hysteria, contributing to a drop in the value of the real, and a downgrade of Brazil's credit rating.[23]
In the beginning of his first term, Lula's chosen Minister of Finance was Antonio Palocci, a physician and former Trotskyist activist who had recanted his far left views while serving as the mayor of the sugarcane processing industry center of Ribeirão Preto, in the state of São Paulo. Lula also chose Henrique Meirelles of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, a prominent market-oriented economist, as head of the Brazilian Central Bank. As a former CEO of the BankBoston he was well-known to the market.[24] Meirelles was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2002 as a member of the opposing PSDB, but resigned as deputy to become Governor of the Central Bank.[24]
Silva and his cabinet followed in part the lead of the previous government,[25] by renewing all agreements with the International Monetary Fund, which were signed by the time Argentina defaulted on its own deals in 2001. His government achieved a satisfactory primary budget surplus in the first two years, as required by the IMF agreement, exceeding the target for the third year. In late 2005, the government paid off its debt to the IMF in full, two years ahead of schedule.[26] Three years after the election, Lula had slowly but firmly gained the market's confidence, and sovereign risk indexes fell to around 250 points. The government's choice of inflation targeting kept the economy stable, and was complimented during the 2005 World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Brazilian economy was generally not affected by the mensalão scandal.[27] In early 2006, however, Palocci had to resign as finance minister due to his involvement in an abuse of power scandal. Lula then appointed Guido Mantega, a member of the PT and an economist by profession, as finance minister. Mantega, a former Marxist who had written a PhD thesis (in Sociology) on the history of economic ideas in Brazil from a left-wing viewpoint, is presently known for his criticism of high interest rates, something he claims satisfy banking interests. So far, however, Brazil's interest rates remain among the highest in the world. Mantega has been supportive of a higher employment by the state.
Not long after the start of his second term, Lula, alongside his cabinet, announced the new Growth Acceleration Program (the Programa de Aceleração de Crescimento, or PAC, in Portuguese), an investment program to solve many of the problems that prevent the Brazilian economy from expanding more rapidly. The measures include investment in the creation and repair of roads and railways, simplification and reduction of taxation, and modernization on the country's energy production to avoid further shortages. The money promised to be spent in this Program is considered to be around R$ 500 billion (more than 250 billion dollars) over four years. Part of the measures still depend on approval by Congress. Prior to taking office, Lula had been a critic of privatization policies. In his government, however, his administration has created public-private partnership concessions for seven federal roadways.[28]
After decades as the largest foreign debtor among emerging economies, Brazil became a net creditor for the first time in January 2008.[29] By mid-2008, both Fitch ratings and S&P had elevated the classification of Brazilian debt from speculative to investment grade. Banks have had record profit in Lula's government.[30]
Lula's second mandate was a much more confident; Lula was then not only the undisputed master of popular affection, as the first president to bring a modest well being to so many of his people, but also in complete control of his own administration. His two leading ministers were gone. Palocci was no longer required to calm the nerves of overseas investors. Dirceu, a virtuoso of cold political calculation and intrigue, he had never liked and somewhat feared. Their joint elimination freed him for sole command in Brasilia. When, midway through his second term its test came, he handled it with aplomb. The crash of Wall Street in 2008 might be a tsunami in the US and Europe, he declared that in Brazil it would be no more than a little 'ripple' ("uma marolinha"). The phrase was seized on by the Brazilian press as proof of reckless economic ignorance and irresponsibility.[31] Lula proved that the big media (PiG) was wrong. The president boasted that the tsunami of the global financial crisis and indeed only register barely a ripple in Brazil. In 2008, Brazil enjoyed the economic good health to fight the global financial crisis with large stimulus packages lasting, at least, until 2014.[32]
The Lula Administration's economic policies also helped to significantly raise living standards, with the percentage of Brazilians belonging to the consumerist middle class rising from 37% to 50% of the population.
"Under Lula, Brazil became the world's eighth-largest economy, more than 20 million people rose out of acute poverty and Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Summer Olympics, the first time the Games will be held in South America."
— The Washington Post, October 2010[17]
Leading a large and competitive agricultural state, Lula generally opposes and criticizes farm G8 agricultural subsidies.[33] Brazil is becoming influential in dialogue between South America and developed countries, especially the United States. It played an important role in negotiations in internal conflicts of Venezuela and Colombia, and concentrated efforts on strengthening Mercosur.[34] During the Lula administration, Brazilian foreign trade increased dramatically, changing from deficits to several surpluses since 2003. In 2004 the surplus reached US$29 billion due to a substantial increase in global demand for commodities. Brazil has also provided UN peace-keeping troops and leads a peace-keeping mission in Haiti.[35]

On 3 August 2009 he received the O.P. Dwivedi Public Service Award by the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA), an award established to honor a distinguished international scholar or practitioner for significant contributions to public administration and public policy in the world.[69]
On 7 July 2009, he received UNESCO's Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France. On 5 November 2009, President Lula was awarded the Chatham House Prize, awarded to the statesperson who is deemed by Chatham House members to have made the most significant contribution to the improvement of international relations in the previous year.[68]
On 20 December 2008, he was named the 18th most important person in the world by Newsweek magazine, and was the only Latin American person featured in a list of 50 most influential World leaders.[67]

US president Barack Obama greeted him at the G20 summit in London (April 2009) saying: "That's my man right there...love this guy...The most popular politician on earth."[65]
He also received the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation in 2003[60] and was the chief guest at India's Republic Day celebration in 2004.[61] He was also given the Jawaharlal Nehru Award in 2006[62] and the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development in 2010.[63] He was rated the most popular Brazilian president of all time with an 80.5% approval rate in his last months as the president.[64]
Since Lula began his term as president, he has attained numerous medals, such as the Brazilian Order of Merit, the Brazilian Orders of Military, Naval and Aeronautical Merit, the Brazilian Order of Scientific Merit, the Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle[59] and the Norwegian Order of Royal Merit; the First Class of the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise (Ukraine, 2003), the Order of Liberty (Ukraine, 2009) and the Danish Order of the Elephant (2007).
In April 2015 the Public Ministry of Brazil opened an investigation for influence peddling against the ex-president Lula. The allegations are that between 2011 and 2014 he lobbied for Odebrecht company to gain public procurements in foreign countries while also getting BNDES to finance those projects. Countries where this allegedly took place include Ghana, Angola, Cuba, and Dominican Republic.[57] In June 2015 Odebrecht's president was arrested under the accusation that his company paid 230 million dollars in bribes for politicians.[58]
On 29 October 2011, Lula was announced by the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital of São Paulo to have contracted throat cancer by way of a malignant tumor in his larynx. He elected to undergo chemotherapy to counteract the tumor, and on 16 November, pictures were released by his press office of his wife shaving his beard and hair, leaving him bald but retaining his moustache.[53] It was the first time that Lula was seen without his beard since leaving office.[54] He was treated with radiation therapy sessions, until the cancer was in complete remission. There are no longer any visible tumors, but he would still be checked periodically. Lula announced his recovery on March 2012, and his return to politics to continue working for Brazilians. Dilma Rousseff, the current president of Brazil, praised the news.[55] Contrary to rumors, Lula declared in early 2013 that he will no longer be a presidential candidate, supporting his successor again, Dilma Rousseff.[56]
About the Scandals during his tenure ex Pres. Lula da Silva would claim on public Brazilian TV that he did not know anything about the scandals. He also said in public Brazilian TV that people who did not agree in paying a tax for each check issued and/or financial transaction were people who illegally failed to pay their income tax.
Wanted Italian terrorist Cesare Battisti was arrested in Rio de Janeiro on 18 March 2007 by Brazilian and French police officers. Later, Brazilian Minister of Justice Tarso Genro granted him the status of political refugee, in a controversial decision which was much criticized in Italy, whereas divided Brazilian and international press opinion. On 5 February 2009, the European Parliament adopted a resolution in support of Italy and held a minute of silence in memory to Battisti's victims. On 18 November 2009, the Brazilian Supreme Court considered the refugee status illegal and allowed extradition, but also stated that the Brazilian constitution gives the president personal powers to deny the extradition if he chooses to, effectively putting the final decision in the hands of Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.[52] Despite that decision, Lula decided to deny extradition of the Italian far-left terrorist Cesare Battisti. On 31 December 2010, Lula's last effective day as president, the decision not to allow extradition was officially announced. Battisti was released on 9 June 2011 from prison after the Brazilian Constitutional Court denied Italy's request to extradite him. Italy plans to appeal to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
In March 2009, before an appearance at the G-20 summit meeting in London, Lula caused an uproar when he declared that the economic crisis was caused by "the irrational behavior of blonde people with blue eyes, who before seemed to know everything, and now have shown they don't know anything."[51]
His administration has been heavily criticized for relying on local political barons, like José Sarney, Jader Barbalho, Renan Calheiros and Fernando Collor, to ensure a majority in Congress. He lost some important votes there, though, for example when the Senate barred the financial tax from being reinstated. Another frequent reproach relates to his ambiguous treatment of the left wing in the Workers' Party. Analysts fear that he occasionally gives in to their wishes for tighter government control of the media and increased state intervention: in 2004, he pushed for the creation of a "Federal Council of Journalists" (CFJ) and a "National Cinema Agency" (Ancinav), the latter of which would overhaul funding for electronic communications. Both proposals ultimately failed amid concerns that they would lead to excessive state intervention over free speech.[48][49] Fernando Cardoso, Lula's predecessor as the president of Brazil, has accused Lula of denying any positive achievements allegedly made by the Cardoso administration.[50]
Lula's administration was plagued by corruption scandals, most notably the mensalão and sanguessugas scandals, in his first term. Although the independent office of the Brazilian Attorney-General presented charges against 40 politicians and officials involved in the Mensalão affair, several charges have been presented against Lula himself. Top officials involved, such as Roberto Jefferson, José Dirceu, Luiz Gushiken and Humberto Costa denied he was aware of any wrongdoing; his only crime would be omission, since it was attested by one of his own party members, Alindo Chinaglia, that Lula had been warned of its existence.[47] Having lost numerous government aides in the face of political turmoil, Lula has come largely unscathed in the eyes of the public, with overwhelming approval rates.
The condemnation of Iranian Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani for the crime of adultery, and who was originally to be executed by stoning led to calls for Lula da Silva's intervention on her behalf. On the issue, Lula commented that "I need to respect the laws of a [foreign] country. If my friendship with the president of Iran and the respect that I have for him is worth something, if this woman has become a nuisance, we will receive her in Brazil." The Iranian government, however, declined the offer.[40][41] Lula da Silva's actions and comments sparked controversy. Mina Ahadi, an Iranian Communist politician, welcomed Lula da Silva's offer of asylum for Ashtiani, but also reiterated a call for an end to stoning altogether and requesting a cessation of recognition and support for the Iranian government.[42][43][44][45] Jackson Diehl, Deputy editorial page Editor of The Washington Post, called Lula da Silva the "best friend of tyrants in the democratic world" and criticised his actions.[40] Shirin Ebadi, Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, viewed Lula da Silva's intervention in a more positive light, calling it a "powerful message to the Islamic Republic."[46]
He travelled to more than 80 countries during his presidency.[38] A goal of Lula's foreign policy was for the country to gain a seat as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. In this he has so far been unsuccessful.[38] And Lula was considered to have pulled off a major coup with Turkey in regards to getting Iran to send its uranium abroad in contravention of western calls.[38][39]
Lula also gained increasing stature in the Southern hemisphere buoyed by economic growth in his country. In 2008, he was said to have become a "point man for healing regional crises," as in the escalation of tensions between Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. Former Finance Minister, and current advisor, Delfim Netto, said: "Lula is the ultimate pragmatist."[37]

Event 5858 from WMI-Activity
Many instances of Event 5858 from WMI-Activity are appearing in the Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational log.
An example of the event message text is "Id = {BA4361BF-423A-0001-1284-43BA3A42CD01}; ClientMachine = SERVER1; User = SERVER\bnf1; ClientProcessId = 928; Component = Unknown; Operation = Start IWbemServices::ExecQuery - root\cimv2 : SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem; ResultCode = 0x80041032; PossibleCause = Unknown
Is there a solution or a workaround?

Thank you!
Any progress?
It is the same here, only I discover that after this string of messges on two (of my 12) servers, some services that were stopped automagically shortly before, are not restarted.
This is more than an annoyance, because these services (VMware tools service on one server and all Veeam Backup and Replicatation services on the other) are pretty important.

These events continue in Windows Server 2012 RTM. There are a couple of different sources of this event, as detailed below.
1. A group of about 15 instances occurs during Windows Setup, is associated with the operation WbemServices::CreateInstanceEnum, and fails with a result code of 0x8004100A (WBEM_E_CRITICAL_ERROR). The WMI Error Constants web page says "Report the error to Microsoft Technical Support".
2. Another group is associated with the operation WbemServices::ExecQuery, and fails with a result code of 0x80041032 (WBEM_E_CALL_CANCELLED).
3. The most common group, which occurs when Group Policy is applied, is associated with the operation WbemServices::DeleteInstance, and fails with a result code of 0x80041002 (WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND). This group references Group Policy Preferences, which are not available in non domain-joined computers, and in the case of domain-joined computers, occurs for all such objects that are not defined. For example, when a preference is definded for User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Start Menu, and gpupdate /force is run, the count of event 5858 will be reduced by 1, because this prefrence has been defined.Thursday, September 6, 2012 1:42 PM

I have the same issues on all 4 of my machines. Most prominent is the 80041002 shown in every WMIDiag.vbs log file ever executed. They always show the same 30 classes as being missing on most systems where WMIDiag is run. Most common error listed in WMI-Activity/Operational log is consistent 80041032 entries every few minutes to every 2 hours. They occur immediately after cimwin32.dll is loaded. These issues have been researched for years and no solutiuon has ever been posted by Microsoft or anyone else. Come on Microsft, what is going on with Windows Management Instrumentation?

I'm having the similar issue on win7pro 64 bit. This error appears to be triggered by a problem with the Windows Diagnostic Services, which blow up and cannot run. Consequently, many troubleshooter wizards can't run either. My actual error code is:
Id = {034BFC78-F800-0007-44C2-5786103FCE01}; ClientMachine = JOHN-GALT; User = NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM; ClientProcessId = 4860; Component = Unknown; Operation = Start IWbemServices::CreateInstanceEnum - root\wmi : hpqBIntM; ResultCode = 0x80041032; PossibleCause = Unknown
In my case, it appears to be pointing to the HP BIOS enumerator, which (according to WMI diagnostics) is dynamic. WMI diagnostic log shows some errors around HP_BIOSEnumeration (in Root/HP/INSTRUMENTEDBIOS) because (InstancesOfSink_OnCompleted) : 0x8004100F invalid instance.

The core problem for this set of issues is that the WMI error event ID 5858 is being generated generically and is not only representing functional error conditions. Unfortunately, for application/backwards compatibility, we can't just get rid of it, because people have gone to the effort of parsing the event (more below) to look for the instances where there is useful data.
Event 5858 is generated any time there is an error returned to the WMI client API. Many of these "errors" are behaviors that the client application handles (for example, checking for something that is not present), so seeing event 5858 does not tell you enough. The user data section of the event has the information to explain if the problem is important, but it must be parsed. That makes this event hard to use for monitoring, so some notes on that are at the end.
To understand WMI event 5858, the key elements are in userdata, specifically:
- ResultCode – this tells you the real reason event is generated, and is the most valuable piece of information. More info is below, but searching TechNet for the ResultCode will usually give you the information you need.
- Operation – the relevant info follows "Start IWbemServices::", and tells you what WMI was asked to do. This includes run a query, enumerate/create/delete instances, look for a class, etc. There is a full list here: //msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg196568(v=vs.85).aspx
- User – it sometimes it helps to know what account was trying to do the Operation, particularly if the ResultCode is 0x80041003 – Access Denied.
ResultCode details: There is a good list of ResultCodes here: //support.microsoft.com/kb/295821. The ones listed in this thread are:
- 0x80041032 – Call Cancelled. The client application cancelled the request that was made. That is almost always ignorable as a WMI error. The component or application (SCCM, or Group Policy) for example) that was calling into WMI cancelled the request, and will likely generate its own event if it is important to do.
- 0x8004100A – Critical Error. This could be a significant problem, and should be investigated. The WMI infrastructure is not working properly. You can either use WMIDiag (see this article: //blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/02/03/wmidiag-2-1-is-here.aspx) or from an elevated command prompt run Winmgmt –VerifyRepository.
- 0x80041002 – Not Found. This is usually ignorable by itself. It means that WMI could not find the instance of a class that was requested, which is not unusual.
- 0x8004100F – Invalid Object. This could be a significant problem and should be investigated. It could be a problem where the WMI provider is badly written, or it could be an issue within the WMI repository. See Troubleshooting below.
Operation details – This begins with "Start IWbemServices::", then the actual operation, with parameters you can use to find out more info. Examples from the thread above are:
- ExecQuery – run a WMI query. The structure is ExecQuery - <namespace> : <query>. Example is ExecQuery - root\CIMV2 : select * from Win32_OperatingSystem Where ProductType!=2 or ProductType!=3. You can use the PS command get-wmiobject –namespace (insert the namespace) –query "(insert the query portion)"
- DeleteInstance – delete a specific instance of a WMI class. Looks like: DeleteInstance - <namespace>: <instance information>. Example is DeleteInstance - Root\Rsop\User\S_1_5_21_1447720405_913420198_1853421413_1156 : RSOP_ExtensionStatus.extensionGuid="{1A6364EB-776B-4120-ADE1-B63A406A76B5}".
- CreateInstanceEnum – sets up to enumerate all instances of a class. Structure is CreateInstanceEnum - <namespace> : <classname>.
As noted, some of the issues listed above are important to understand. There are some good topics on WMI Troubleshooting in TechNet, so I won't try to repeat them. There is a generally good article here: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.09.wmievents.aspx. The most critical things to check for are repository issues, which you can do either using WMIDiag (see this article: blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2012/02/03/wmidiag-2-1-is-here.aspx) or from an elevated command prompt run Winmgmt –VerifyRepository, and confirm that the repository is in good shape.
You have to parse event 5858 to get the critical info, so other events are easier to use for monitoring. The most critical events to watch for relating to WMI are still in the Windows-Application log, not Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational log (where event 5858 is found). All of the most serious errors that will show up with an event 5858 will also have something in the Windows-Application log. Documentation for the most relevant events are listed in multiple topics under this reference: //technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc727020(v=ws.10).aspx
In summary:
Event 5858 is confusing, generally ignorable, and unfortunately not something we can get rid of easily. It does provide valuable information if you know how to parse it. The most relevant information is the ResultCode in the UserData section – copy and paste that into a search of TechNet for meaningful information.

Thanks for your detailed and authoritative (MSFT) reply. In my view, the objective is not to get rid of Event 5858, but to get rid of the code that generates the ignorable instances of Event 5858.Monday, June 3, 2013 4:16 PM
Last spring (2013), I wrote a mof file that generates the 32 or 34 objects that WMIDiag.vbs chokes on and informs almost every user that they are missing. I copied information for most of the classes from various places on the internet checking for accuracy of the information. Compiling this .mof file in addition to running the batch file described below will clear up most or all of the 0x80041002 WMI errors that WMIDiag generates and the diagnostic will run successfully in most cases where there is not any really serious structural repository damage. I've modified WMIDiag.vbs to successfully run on Windows 8.0, 8.1 and Windows Server 2012.
I also wrote a large batch file (116KB) that repairs many repository issues. A lot of posted WMI repair batch files and instructions for repairing the repository do not take ALL issues into consideration and can cause their own problems. For example, there are uninstall .mof files in %Windir%\System32\wbem and %Windir%\System32\wbem\en-US. If the uninstall .mof and .mfl files are not temporarily renamed while compiling mof files the user will compile the uninstall information also uninstalling anywhere from 8 to 34 or more .mof files and the entire set of classes for each. Almost all batch files found on the internet try to compile the language specific files (.mfl) in the %Windir%\System32\wbem folder when the .mfl files actually reside in the %Windir%\System32\wbem\en-US folder for Windows 7 and 8, so you must change folders appropriately or use the correct path when compiling .mfls. Output from my batch operations is written to a text log file which can be searched for the word "error" to verify success or failure of all operations. A couple of zero length mof files in the %Windir%\System32\wbem\en-US folder are also temporarily renamed to avoid spurious errors.
I am currently working on a batch file that sets the correct ownership and permissions for the %Windir%\System32\wbem and %Windir%\System32\wbem\en-US folders. Execution of this batch file enables users to edit and compile mof and mfl files in the appropriate Windows folders. The batch file uses Subinacl.exe for this purpose. My batch file would be good for home systems or offline systems, but I don't think any corporate users would want to screw around with any of their Windows permissions in this manner. The batch file removes the read only attribute from the Windows folder and WBEM subfolders and files and it adds "full control" security for System, Administrators, and TrustedInstaller. Local Service, Network Service and Users are given either modify or read and execute rights. These last security settings will not sit right with many corporate users with online systems. It also ensures that most Windows registry keys and subkeys are owned by Administrators and that full control is given to Administrators and System with Users getting read access. The last major change it performs is to modify Program Files and Program Files (x86) so that the user can write and store data in the folders and sub-folders. I prefer this option since I install many portable applications on my systems and I prefer to store program configuration in .ini files in the program folders when possible rather than the Appdata folders. This way I can copy a portable application from my system and know I have the latest configuration settings included.
I make these tools available for download from a OneDrive folder if I think they can help someone.

Seems like that would be some good stuff to share. CodePlex (The link below) is a great place to host Win related software.....

Thanks for the suggestion. I've continued working on the projects over the last couple of months. It would only require a little clean-up to make the projects presentable. I've also modified WMIDiag.vbs to operate with Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows Server 2012. It ran successfully for me on Win 8 and 8.0 and for another guy with Windows Server 2012. I could probably make that available also. After running my programs, I have an absolutely clean WMIDiag report. I'll give it some thought and maybe in a week or so I'll put it on codeplex.Wednesday, April 30, 2014 10:38 PM

I was wondering if you did in fact host your most current products online so that I may look into them for my purposes on my own domains/systems/test and live environments. Were you able to post the product online? BTW I applaud your efforts to even begin to tackle WMI and WBEM issues! I am sure you are aware first hand of how abundant, annoying, destructive if not handled properly and anxiety laden WMI and WBEM are. I have resulted to the easy way out method of rename or remove and rebuild on a few occasions which yes works and lets you move past for a bit, however, returns like a plaque later on at the worst of times it seems. It sounds like the work you have done so far is a big leap towards the "correct" way of handling the WMI and WBEM problems and I do respect that! Hope to hear from you soon! -ChadFriday, August 7, 2015 1:57 PM
I tried to do it the right way instead of simply deleting the repository and rebuilding. There are too many issues involved for rebuilding the repository to be an adequate solution. For example if you rebuild the repository by mofcomping all .mof files, there are uninstall .mof files also and the user uninstalls anywhere from 8 to 36 functions unknowingly depending on OS. The uninstall files must be managed so that specific classes are not uninstalled. Also, the language specific .mfl files are stored in the en-US folder, not in the WBEM folder so they don't get recompiled during a rebuild. There are a number of other nagging issues with rebuilding the repository such as zero length files that generate a mofcomp error. I've rarely found a system yet that I cannot get WMIDiag.vbs to run without errors without deleting and rebuilding the repository. I've only worked on a dozen or so systems with the stuff. Unfortunately, I have not found a place to publish my stuff. I make it available to from my Onedrive when requested. Let me know what your problem is and I'll let you know if my stuff will help.Friday, August 7, 2015 6:38 PM
I do appreciate your efforts in explaining your actions. I have been running 8.1 for some time without this issue until an update downloaded and installed on 09/02/2015. I would greatly appreciate copies of your batch files, because this issue is triggering a domino of issues in warnings, errors, etc.
Many thanks for your helpWednesday, September 9, 2015 3:48 PM
What type of problem are you having? If you provide more information I can tailor the batch file(s) I send you. Sorry it took me so long to respond, your email went into my junk mail folder.Friday, September 11, 2015 10:43 PM
fwiw - I still get a TON of these event entries on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with all the latest patches. Fresh install. In addition to the above hex values, I see 0x80041010, and 0x80041007. These repeat every 30 seconds in the event log. Very unnecessary bloating of the event log repository, and overhead on CPU and memory resources.Thursday, April 21, 2016 1:54 PM
As stated earlier, I have a .mof file that addes missing classes, a batch file that changes permissions on Windows folders, particularly %windir%\System32\WBEM, and a modified WMIDiag.vbs that runs on Windows Server 2012. All the systems I've tried it on clear up many of the spurious errors from Windows Management Instrumentation. A couple of people have tried them on Windows Server 2012 (not sure of the release) and WMIDiag runs clean. Let me know if you are interested, You can print out the batch file to see what it will do. It re-compiles all .mof files after it renames the uninstall .mof files and then renames them back.
If you are interested in the software, please send some examples of your errors first and perform a directory listing on uninstall .mof files with "dir *uninst*.mof" so I can make sure that all Windows Server 2012 mof files are renames before the remaining .mof files are re-compiled.
I'm operating at half speed. My new motherboard crashed and I am on an older Win 7 system, so if my communications is sporadic, that's why. I'm recovering my files from backups.Friday, April 22, 2016 1:15 PM
After having a similar problem as you and searching for days for an answer, I was able to find a solution. I never found all of it in one place, so even though this is an old thread, I think it may be useful to have something here.
I was having extreme CPU and disk usage problems, where my older laptop had slowed considerably. Of interest, it would boot fine but once connected to a wifi network would beegin to have problems. I traced it to the fact that WmiPrvSe was querying hundreds or thousands of registry keys per second (according to SysInternal's procmon). Further investigation showed that CIMWin32 was somehow implicated. As I looked at the logs, I was getting the WMI-Activity 5858 problem also. I was lucky that it referenced hpqBIntM, but also in the Windows-Application log I found an entry by hpqwmiex. The entry was cryptic, but searching for hpqwmiex online led to some sites discussing how to remove some of the bloatware associated with HP laptops and the automatic programs that come with them. Specifically hpqwmiex may be associated with the HP Health-Monitor or something. I don't know why I didn't uninstall that years ago. They suggested simply renaming the hpqwmiex.exe file, but I renamed the whole "Program Files(x86)\Hewlett-Packard" folder since I did not want any of the applications to run.
After a reboot I haven't had any problems. It seems the built-in HP Advisor and Health Check don't work, but that was my intent anyways.
If anybody else out there has a similar problem, hopefully they can find this solution.Saturday, July 23, 2016 7:35 PM
I'll have to look into the HP background programs. I had some running on the Windows 7 system I was using for development of my .mof and batch files, but I didn't see any correlation between HP Programs and WMI errors. Most of the issues I refer to in my posts are strictly related to missing WMI classes from the WMI repository. Most of these missing classes were due to classes from older operating systems no longer being supported in current operating systems so they were spurious errors, but they still prevented WMIDiag.vbs from running cleanly. I no longer have my development system available and believe it or not, the ASUS motherboard failure I refer to in my April 22, 2016 post has still not be resolved by ASUS after multiple RMAs so I don't have my windows 10 development system.
Thanks for the info on the HP programs. I will definitely look into them on my systems since I have an HP LaserJet printer.Monday, July 25, 2016 5:26 PM
This is STILL broken in Windows 10
Wednesday, April 5, 2017 2:48 PM
- Edited by Bill-777 Wednesday, April 5, 2017 2:49 PM
Yes, it is still broken. It won't get better, it will only get worse with newer versions of the operating system. With each new release, I think more classes become obsolete and are not present in the WMI repository. Adding the deprecated classes doesn't cause any problems, but it does clear up the spurious errors. I have WMIDiag.vbs running clean on my Windows 10 version 1607 installations. Of course, I had to modify WMIDiag.vbs to run on Windows 10 systems. Most of the 5858 errors are meaningless and can safely be ignored so there is not much to worry about with them. You will not be able to clean them up completely because of the nature of WMI.Wednesday, April 5, 2017 8:45 PM

I am using a relatively new computer, and I was having the same WMI issues. When I went the event Viewer I was getting lots of error logs, similar to everyone here. I found the PID, and used task manager to trace the PID to HP Workwise which I did not use anyways. I uninstalled it, but noticed the WMI still causing problems. I checked the logs again, and it pointed to the HP CASL framework service program, which was similar to the hpqwmiex program. Managed to delete the HPCASL service, but still WMI was causing problems. Went to the event viewer, but this time the PID didn't match anything on the task manager services toolbar. I assume it is some other HP service that is running. I don't know anything about computers, but it is clear there is some issue with HP's programs that is doing something.Wednesday, January 2, 2019 11:27 PM
This is a very old thread and as far as I know this has never been resolved. The HP background programs may be causing some of the issues. I don't have an HP system, but I do have an HP Laser Printer so I have HP programs running on my system also. I never researched that side of the problem. I was able to get WMIDiag.vbs to run error free by adding MOF classes that were missing and manipulating other files and ACLs. WMIDiag.vbs is the best option that Microsoft provided to verify that WMI is running correctly. I had to make some modifications to the program to get it to run perfectly on Windows 10 various versions, but even then the 5858 errors continue to be generated in the WMI-Activity event log. It appears that many of the 5858 errors are caused by WMI timing issues where a device or process may be busy. They can be ignored. Good luck clearing up the errors.Saturday, January 5, 2019 2:01 AM
I find these documents.

I am having this problem, too, and it relates to Intel IPROSetMonitor.exe calling an event, where the filter of the task fails. To identify what is causing the problem on your system, the output of the error message has some information. If you dig a little deeper, and get the ClientProcessID, you can use that in Task Manager on the running system to find the program calling for data. I found the xml view to be quick and easy. In Task Manager, be sure that the ID column is visible. Right Click on a column heading and click the ID button to display the process ID.
This will tell you what program is having an issue. I can't go further into why this happens because others are still trying to figure this out for a long while now.
The issue at hand on my end is still an investigation. I am applying driver updates for the NIC, and I had to delete my vNIC to be able to uninstall the Intel Network Connection software before I could actually get the upgraded drivers to install on the Windows Server 2012R2 system.
Hope this helps someone identify what program is having this issue of numerous WMI

Not much new stuff hits the eShops this week, but the Virtual Console gets another classic...and no it's not Super Mario Bros. 3. Seriously Nintendo, when are we going to get the best game to ever hit the NES on the Wii U and 3DS? It's right there, all you have to do is release it. Then again I'm still waiting on the rest of the Game Boy Mega Man lineup from Capcom, but I digress.
This week's Virtual Console release is Castlevania II on both the Wii U and 3DS. Say what you will but I enjoyed it on the NES. Sure it has its flaws and the final battle with Dracula is the easiest final boss in gaming history for your typical NES game, but I still have fun with it...plus I have it on the Wii's VC so it's only a dollar for the upgrade for me.
In other eShop news, F1 Race Stars: Powered Up Edition and Unepic both hit the Wii U eShop today. I've seen the trailer for Unepic and it looks fun, so I might have to give that one a shot soon. Also, Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl will be on sale on the 3DS eShop for $20 off from January 20th to the 27th. Trust me when I say that if you like dungeon crawlers and other types of RPGs, you'll want to give this one a shot, or at the very least check out the demo.

Fall foliage season beginning in Lancaster
Weather plays big role in leaves turning color
In Lancaster, where the Kilkenney Range juts into the sky above the river valley floor, the season or reds and orange and gold are just beginning.
A few more cold nights mixed with a few warm days and it will be time to head north.
Brendan Prusik, Coos County forester for the UNH Cooperative Extension in Lancaster, said fall foliage is a convergence of chemistry, biology, physics and psychology.
And weather.
"The chemistry works like this: As the day's lengths shortens, the tree stops producing chlorophyll -- the pigment that makes leaves green -- allowing other pigments to become unmasked, though some pigments are produced during the autumn season as a result of the weather."
He said the biggest factor in determining color quality and the experience of color is the weather during the foliage season itself.
"It is nearly inevitable that during the foliage season, there will be a rain and wind event that will end the season by making the leaves fall. Any leaves that die early -- turn brown -- won't change color. Individual trees, or clusters of trees, may have dead leaves and they won't change color, but the large vista-view may be more or less bright, again depending on the weather at the time of the foliage season.
Interestingly, Prusik said, memory plays a role in the psychological attitudes people have towards fall.
Last season always is compared to the present.
Prusik said his experience is that peak in Colebrook is "always" on Oct. 1.
"Speaking with a landowner in Jefferson (lower latitude but slightly higher elevation) he said peak there is 'always' October 6," he said.
In Lincoln, visitors coming to this weekend's Highland Games (Sept. 20-23) will also see great early fall foliage.
"The colors are just starting to emerge, and should really start to pop after a few more cold nights and warm days," said Greg Kwasnik, Loon spokesman. "The weather has been great for foliage this year, and the colors seem slightly more advanced than they were at this time last year (in the White Mountains)."
New Hampshire state officials are releasing a forecast for the upcoming fall foliage season today and by any measure it is expected to be as good if not better than last fall.
Certainly it will likely be better than 2011 when Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc in late August, stripping leaves off trees and creating floods damaging roads.
An above normal rainfall that year, high heat and humidity which sparked a fungus led to a poor fall foliage season.
But last season, it rebounded with an estimated 7.9 million visitors who spent over $1 billion.
Gas prices last year were about 20 cents a gallon higher at $3.89 but the economy was not as favorable.
A foliage map will be available here at wmur.com to help gauge progress of the season which usually begins in the north and moves southeast with the seacoast getting the last of it in late October.

Within days of Election Commission issuing direction in the direct cash transfer scheme, the government today said it will be implemented in 43 districts, as against 51 announced earlier.
"As Aadhaar numbers are in the process of being issued, Aadhar enabled direct cash transfer is being implemented in a phase wise manner beginning with 43 districts from January 1, 2013," Finance Minister P Chidambaram said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
The government's earlier announcement of implementing cash transfer in 29 welfare schemes in 51 districts from January 1 was objected to by BJP, in view of the state- elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
Following a complaint by the BJP, the Election Commission has asked the government to postpone implementation of the scheme in these two states.
Chidambaram, in his reply, said a decision on whether Aadhaar should be mandatory for getting benefits through direct cash transfer, would be taken by individual ministries/ departments with respect to their own schemes.
The electronic cash transfers will be based on Aadhar (Unique Identification Number) platform. The entire country is targeted to be covered by the end of next year.
"Since Aadhaar is based on unique identity of a person that includes finger print..., the proposed transfer will help in de-duplication and accurate targeting of the beneficiary," Chidambaram said.
The schemes which would come under the purview of the cash transfer scheme from January 1 would include those of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Human Resources Development (HRD), Minority, Welfare, Women and Child Development, Health and Family and Labour and Employment.
Aadhaar, a 12-digit number, serves as a proof of identity and address anywhere in the country. The UIDAI has already issued 21 crore Aadhaar cards.

If you don't have an entire closet to give to cleaning supplies, some portion of a storeroom, a niche under the staircase, or a side of a room will work, as well.
Try not to return filthy rags in the closet. It's too difficult to recognize perfect and filthy ones. Wash them after use. Keep little clean rags in a hanging sack so you don't need to stress over collapsing or stacking them. Bigger towel rags can be stacked on a rack.
Vacuum Cleaner
The vacuum cleaner is massive, and the hose is always in the way. Position your vacuum cleaner up front, so it's simple in, simple out. Hang the hose on an attach to free floor space and to keep from stumbling over it.
Cleaning Merchandises
Cleaning items are in a piling scrum on the floor of the closet. Keep the items you utilize most in a took care of caddy. Keep useful essentials, like wipes, multi-purpose spray, and a whisk broom, at a sight and easy reach. Store the rest in a spot that is available however not in the way. A lazy Susan makes rarely utilized things, for example, cleans and waxes, simple to discover when you require them. The pockets of a canvas shoe Wrangler can be a decent option and simply the right size for splash bottles, cleaning wipes, and little things like grout brushes, which have a tendency to get lost on racks.
Bucket take up bunches of space. Get a pail that homes with your cleaning supply caddy.
Rubber Gloves
The inside of your elastic gloves are always moist, and they don't dry well hanging over the side of a pail or the sink. Paste clothespins to within your broom closet or door and clip the gloves by a fingertip to air-dry, open-side down.
Brooms, mops, and other since quite a while ago took care of cleaning tools mess the floor. Mount clean and broom holders on the back of the closet door.
Seasonal Equipment
Use overhead spaces. Specialty cleaning products, seasonal machines (like the humidifier), and crackpot things (like moving covers) ought to be kept up top, with a divider mounted step stepping stool close-by.
• Keep often utilized and massive things like the vacuum cleaner at the base of the broom closet or in another effortlessly available area.
• Loop vacuum hoses over huge heavy-duty hooks (like bicycle snares) or on a hose holder on the divider.
• Hang brooms and cleans in a divider mounted holder.
• Hang the dustpan and brush on a hook.
No closet?
• Assess your home for unused zones – once in a while even a couple inches of space can have a major effect. Exploit dividers that your visitors don't see, like those along the storm cellar stairs or in storage rooms.
• Browse organizing stores, sites, home centers and huge box stores like Home Outfitters for things that offer you some assistance with creating more storage space.
• Store mops on a divider mounted rack. It requires just a couple inches of space to store a few cleans or brooms.
• Stock a cleaning caddy and stash it under the kitchen or washroom sink, or get space in your material closet.
• Park the vacuum cleaner in a room or another closet.
• Hang a dustpan and brush in a shrouded spot, like on the back of the kitchen door or within a lower kitchen cupboard door.
➢ You won't recall each rubbish pickup and gift accumulation date. Monitor them with a glue dry-delete date-book.
➢ Streamline the quest for guarantees and other research material in fasteners with clear stashes; use tabs to discrete machines and devices by room.
➢ Whenever appliances or installations are on the fritz, you'll need reinforcement quick. By the logbook, post contact data for household upkeep professionals, like handymen, circuit repairmen, and contractors.

Will will and Will won't
You know that kid who seems to always hang around on the edge of the group? He's one of those.
Not exactly an outcast – just sort of invisible to the others.
A half step out of sync.
Whether by nature, by cast, or by choice – unknown. But fortunately he's either so oblivious to his situation or he just doesn't care.
Follows his own heart and flight pattern despite the mandate of "birds of a feather".
Will could be the egret Einstein.
Hey, he's already mastered flight – a relatively exclusive cohort.
Cold weather brings everyone down to earth.
No seeking shelter behind tall banks or brush thickets for Will.
Even a dumb bunny should see perching on a recently driven and parked vehicle is a leg up on staying warm.
During the recent below freezing weather , we watched Will go down the neighborhood from warm car hood to warm car hood.
The Einstein egret seemed especially pleased to hang out at night in flower beds with lots of old-fashioned heat-producing big bulb Christmas lights that were left on all night to give plants a little warmth.
Will won't settle for chilling out if there's a smarter option available.
You'd think the flock would notice a problem solver of superior intellect.
Proof the life of a genius is often hard.
Phil, the Philosopher Mouse of the Hedge.
(Another cold blast due to arrive here shortly. Will's probably checking out the neighborhood's travel patterns…and who still hasn't managed to get all the lights down yet…Oh, Ok we're guilty – but just the front flowerbed by the palms…and Will. Sigh. Orphans and strays.)

I'm having trouble finding info in the docs about how to solve a system of congruences. The closest I can find is 'matsolvemod' in here: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/dochtml/html.stable/Vectors,_matrices,_linear_algebra_and_sets.html
but I'm not sure if that's exactly what it's used for because I don't really understand where the M parameter comes in with a system of congruences. Is there a function for solving a system of linear equations of the form:
x = a1 (mod b1) x = a2 (mod b2) ... x = an (mod bn)
(or even for just 2 or 3 congruences is fine)
EDIT: Okay, I've tried just using the algorithm and basic arithmetic instead of finding a function to do it for me automatically but am receiving an error:

Xigazê or Shigatseboth: shēgä´tsĕ [key], town, S central Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is in the center of a small, heavily populated alluvial plain near the Yarlung Zangbo (Brahmaputra) River. The second (after Lhasa) most important trade center in Tibet, it is on the ancient caravan route (now a modern highway) from Lhasa to Nepal, W Tibet, Kashmir, and Xinjiang (China). Xigazê was the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama (see Tibetan Buddhism), who ruled about 4,000 monks in the lamasery of Tashi Lumpo (founded 1446), west of the town. Xigazê also has a large 17th-century fort. Other spellings of the name are Zhigatse, Zhikatse, and Jih-k'a-tse.

Printed LED film from Sun-Tec
Artist, teacher, technologist Christopher T. Palmer, aka "CTP," was asking recently on the ThingM Sketching list, for suggestions of resources for a class he's going to be teaching on "Active Wearable Objects." He started to get a bunch of great input and so I asked him to compile it and share it with you all. But somebody has already done the heavy lifting for him. CTP sent me the URL to this huge resource list, maintained by Margarita Benitez, of hardware, materials, supplies, software, tutorials, and more, related to high-tech wearables and soft circuits. Thanks for this, CTP! Now you're off the hook. The only drawback to this list is that it's over a year old (tho most of the links are still active). Hopefully Margarita will update it soon.

Born: Warsaw, Poland
Describes the burning of the Warsaw ghetto during the 1943 ghetto uprising [Interview: 1990]
Ben was one of four children born to a religious Jewish family. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. After the Germans occupied Warsaw, Ben decided to escape to Soviet-occupied eastern Poland. However, he soon decided to return to his family, then in the Warsaw ghetto. Ben was assigned to a work detail outside the ghetto, and helped smuggle people out of the ghetto—including Vladka (Fagele) Peltel, a member of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), who later became his wife. Later, he went into hiding outside the ghetto and posed as a non-Jewish Pole. During the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1943, Ben worked with other members of the underground to rescue ghetto fighters, bringing them out through the sewers and hiding them on the "Aryan" side of Warsaw. From the "Aryan" side of Warsaw, Ben witnessed the burning of the Warsaw ghetto during the uprising. After the uprising, Ben escaped from Warsaw by posing as a non-Jew. Following liberation, he was reunited with his father, mother, and younger sister.

Bellator Fighting Championships' upcoming season-five welterweight tournament kicks off Sept. 10 in New Jersey.
Bellator officials today announced the lineup for the eight-man bracket, which kicks off at Bellator 49.
Dan Hornbuckle vs. Luis Santos, Ben Saunders vs. Rick Hawn, Brent Weedman vs. Chris Lozano and Douglas Lima vs. Steve Carl fill the evening's MTV2-broadcast main card, which takes place at Caesars Atlantic City in New Jersey.
Hawn, Hornbuckle, Lozano and Weedman all participated in the promotion's season-four tournament. Carl returns after competing in season two.
The winner of the season-five tourney earns a shot at the winner of an upcoming bout between current Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren and season-four tournament winner Jay Hieron.
"A lot of these guys were in our season-four tournament, and after seeing some of the performances they put on, it was a no-brainer to bring a lot of them back," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "With newcomers to the tournament like Ben Saunders, Douglas Lima and Luis Santos, the winner of the title fight between Ben Askren and Jay Hieron will have a great fight on his hands."
Hornbuckle (22-4 MMA, 3-2 BFC) makes his third attempt at Bellator tourney success. "The Handler" was ousted in season two by now-champion Askren and in season four by Brent Weedman. Both results came via decision. He'll start his season-five effort against "Sapo" Santos (49-6-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC), who made his Bellator debut in May and is currently riding a nine-fight unbeaten streak.
Seven-time UFC veteran Saunders (10-3-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC) looks to build on the strength of a brutal TKO win over Matt Lee at Bellator 39. He'll face judoka Hawn (11-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC), who suffered his first professional loss in a Bellator season-four tournament final bout with Hieron.
Weedman (18-6-1 MMA, 4-1 BFC) returns after falling to Hieron in the semifinals of season four. The loss snapped a 10-fight win streak for Weedman. He'll open against Lozano (8-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC), who was defeated by Lyman good in the opening round of Bellator's season-four playoff.
Brazilian prospect Lima (18-4 MMA, 0-0 BFC) makes his debut for the promotion. He'll risk a six-fight win streak against Carl (14-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC), who has tasted defeat just once in his past 10 fights.
Tickets for the event, which range from $45 to $150, are already on sale at Ticketmaster.com.

Back in June of last year we told you about Chris Malloy's awesome Hoverbike, a Star Wars Speeder-like aircraft that is ridden like a motorcycle but has ducted fans at the front and back instead of wheels. While the Hoverbike cannot be purchased commercially (yet), Malloy is offering to construct custom built versions for people who can't wait — and all at the modest price of $80,000 Australian dollars (USD$84,500).
Malloy is hoping to put the Hoverbike into production in a few years, but he still needs to develop a computerized control system to ensure stability. Initially, Malloy was hoping to have the roll controlled by the rider shifting their body weight (like a motorbike), but that idea proved untenable. At this point, Malloy has only been able to conduct tests with the Hoverbike tethered to the ground.
Malloy is also offering to give away a prototype for free as part of a fundraising campaign. Read more about what the Hoverbike can do here.

Chops: Intermediate
Theory: Beginning
Lesson Overview:
• Develop rapid-fire blues-rock licks.
• Understand the importance of dynamics and accents.
• Create angular lines that are also melodic.

Hi folks, it's nice to be writing a lesson for PG! We'll look at five different licks that hopefully will spawn some ideas in your own playing. Each one focuses on a different technique or approach that I use a lot when improvising or composing. I'd recommend practicing these slowly and trying to focus on playing with dynamics as much as anything. Having dynamics within the notes of a phrase can really make it "bounce" a lot better and feel way more musical. And by accenting certain notes to create interesting subdivisions, you can make the line swing a number of different ways. When I play licks such as these, I'll often change up the accents depending on how I want the phrase to sit. This is a concept I learned from watching and listening to drummers and how they will accent different strokes within a groove.
In terms of technique, I think it's really important to keep checking yourself for arm and shoulder tension. When playing these examples, you may be using note combinations that feel a little alien, but if you walk through the ideas slowly and have a relaxed, light touch, you'll be able to absorb them effectively.
If you have any questions about these licks, feel free to leave a comment below or hit me up on Twitter.
I think it's important to steal ideas from players you like, but even more so to figure out your own lines. Be creative! You don't want to sound like every other bland, derivative player out there. Your highest achievement as a guitarist is to build a musical vocabulary entirely your own.
In Fig. 1 you can see a triplet-based idea with a bit of a blues-rock feel. Even though it's written in 4/4 time, it does lie nicely in 7/4 as well. Give the first note of each phrase a SRV-style attack to really bring out the bend. Don't be afraid to dig in and keep those pull-offs moving! I'm basically thinking in the standard blues scale shape, first in A (A–C–D–Eb–E–G) and then moving it up to C (C–Eb–F–Gb–G–Bb).
Sometimes I'm asked how I approach playing a phrase such as Fig. 2 that goes from the low to high end of the neck. It's just a matter of learning the scales and practicing playing with a more linear approach. For example, learn a few positions of A Dorian (A–B–C–D–E–F#–G) and work on connecting them. Start slowly at first and then expand until you can tackle the entire neck. This phrase has a couple of cool little inflections and is a good example of something I might play over an Am groove. Check out the bluesy b3 bend in the third measure.
