Season 7 is just around the corner. Friday 5 August, 5:00 p.m. PDT in North America, 5:00 p.m. CEST in Europe, and 5:00 p.m. KST in Asia to be precise. Ahead of the launch Blizzard has posted their pre-season update highlighting what's new.
Season 7 will begin with the usual updates to Season Journey objectives, Conquest rotations, and rewards. We'll cover rewards later, but for now, let's tackle the challenges you'll face in Season 7!
Season Journey Updates
As we noted in Season 6, objectives will continue to rotate to create a fresh experience. However, given the 2.4.2. balance changes, we've adjusted some of the goals to fit in with the newly anticipated power level of Season 7 players.
Similarly, the steps that unlock Haedrig's Gift, a special bundle of Set items unlocked throughout the Season Journey, will differ slightly with this season. Rather than tying the rewards to specific steps of the Season Journey, Haedrig's Gifts are now tied to completing certain chapters. Remember that each bundle will contain two (or, in some cases, three) pieces of one of your class sets.
Chapters II, III, and IV will all reward you with one Haedrig's Gift. In addition, Chapter IV will also be the reward step for the new Portrait and cosmetic item for Season 7. We'll go over these rewards in more detail in the Season Reward blog.
As a reminder, all players will only earn one full class set per Season, including both Hardcore and Non-Hardcore Seasonal characters, so choose wisely! Here are the sets you can expect to receive early on in your adventures for Season 7:
Barbarian: Wrath of the Wastes
Crusader: Roland's Legacy
Demon Hunter: Unhallowed Essence
Monk: Raiment of a Thousand Storms
Witch Doctor: Helltooth Harness
Wizard: Tal Rasha's Elements
Looking to start a new Class, but don't know what to expect? Here's a quick run-down of each Set's specialty in case you decide to dabble in something new during Season 7.
Barbarian – Wrath of the Wastes: Everyone loves tearing through monsters at breakneck speed, and Wrath of the Wastes is built to blend with the best of them! Using a combination of Whirlwind and Rend, this set is truly designed around spinning to win.
Crusader – Roland's Legacy: Become the essence of a knight in shining armor with this combination Shield Bash and Sweep Attack set! This set evokes traditional medieval-style combat, and successive uses of these melee-oriented skills will stack Attack Speed and damage reduction, transforming your hero into a devastating defender of Sanctuary.
Demon Hunter – Unhallowed Essence: Ever wondered what a shotgun would look like in the world of Sanctuary? That original concept inspired the Unhallowed Essence set, which provides you great damage boosts to generators, Multishot, and Vengeance for every point of Discipline you have. The armies of the Burning Hells are forced to fight in the shade against such power!
Monk – Raiment of a Thousand Storms: Fight with the fury of the tempests themselves! The Raiment of a Thousand Storms set props up your Spirit Generators and Dashing Strike, allowing you to deliver blows that are both fast and furious. If you want to embody living lightning, then this is the set for you!
Witch Doctor – Helltooth Harness: If you enjoy wrangling enemies and debuffing them back to the Burning Hells, you may want to consider Helltooth Harness! This set applies a debuff called Necrosis to enemies that are hit by a variety of different abilities, and particularly boosts the effectiveness of Wall of Death. Box them in, load them with decay, and watch them melt!
Wizard – Tal Rasha's Elements: Wizards are the masters of elemental magic, and no set embodies that more than Tal Rasha's Elements. By cycling through a variety of elemental damage, you'll be raining Meteors from the sky as well as enjoying both offensive and defensive boosts. Make it rain Arcane! (and Cold and Fire and Lightning. . . .)
New and Updated Conquests
Conquests continue to be a staple of the Seasonal experience, and we're bringing back a few Conquests from Seasons past for Season 7, with appropriate adjustments to accommodate for shifts in class and balance changes:
Is the name of your game speed, speed, speed? Then you might want to focus on Conquests likeSprinter and Speed Racer, which challenge you to complete the entire campaign in under an hour. We're continuing to include staple experiences, such as solo Greater Rift pursuits with Divinity andLionhearted, as well as Legendary Gem refinement with On a Good Day and I Can't Stop. Finally, if you're looking for a more brain-teaser style of challenge, put together your own "set" of Legendaries and conquer a Greater Rift 45 without the use of any Set Items via The Thrill and Super Human!
There's plenty to do, and no matter your flavor of firepower, glory awaits.

I got my new breadboard/power supply today. First order of business was to hook up the UJT oscillator and see if I could make it work. Turns out the NTE6409 UJTs work great (but expensive, about $10.00 a piece). But, the 2N4891s I found don't work at all. I tried every combination of pinout, but no luck. I guess they are either bad or counterfeit. I'm going to try a 2N2646, too. It's 1/10th the price of the 6409.
Next, I need to figure out a way to voltage control the frequency. I'm thinking Nyle probably didn't use the UJT oscillator in his VC trigger generator. I suspect he did it this way in the Synthacon because it was simple cheap, and did the job.
I'm going to look at other VC pulse generators with VC PW and frequency.
I'm also going to hook up the VCO saw core to see if it works with the NTE JFET and if the 2N5163s I had and the NOS I found are any good. I don't think the JFET I use will have any real effect on the sound, but if I can, I want to use the 5163s.

The input turbine speed sensor detects rotation of the input shaft of the input shaft speed sensor transmission. The computer uses that information, along with the output shaft speed sensor to determine if the transmission is operating according to plan. If the computer detects a difference between the input shaft speed , and the expected output shaft speed, it will adjust transmission pump pressure to prevent clutch disc slip. If adding pressure doesn't solve the problem, it will set a trouble code.
As the engine heats up and combustion becomes easier and more complete, the PCM will command the idling control valve to increase the amount of air entering the engine to suit the changing conditions. However, when the load on the engine changes, say, when some electrical consumers or other systems are either turned on or off, the PCM adapts the signal voltage to the idle control valve to ensure that the idling speed remains stable, and at the RPM specified by the manufacturer.

If your ssd inductive signature malfunction check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system U3783 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different ssd inductive signature malfunction, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.
U3783 is a kind of Network Trouble Code
U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes.

Some people think we ask weird questions on our application forms for intern / trainee recruits. We're fine with that. We think that only people on our wavelength will fill in the form in the first place.
Our interviews continue in the same vein. We ask open questions and encourage people to talk. We let the stars shine but the less stellar are given just enough rope. The latter is rare, thankfully: to get to the interview stage with us means a lot. It means we've spotted something in your form that makes us think you stand out from the crowd and will fit in here. We're pretty choosy: five out of six applications don't make the cut.
We don't test legal knowledge much, but we reserve the right to throw you a curve ball on your dissertation topic. In fact, we reserve the right to curve ball you on just about anything. A recent highlight for me was a fifteen minute philosophical debate.
But my favourite interview question involves a scrap of geometry. Lawyers are sometimes a bit too keen to embrace their relative innumeracy compared to, say, accountants. But I want lawyers who can count because I run a business and so do my clients. Arithmetical rigour and mathematical awareness are both part of the job.
This little question normally fills about five minutes of the interview. You get random guessers who throw out answers. You get those who reach for a pen and paper and start to draw diagrams. (What they draw is sometimes fascinating.) Some need gentle coaching from start to finish – we're not monsters – and one or two crumble in blind panic, forgetting their arithmetic. Most get the answer, although it's touch and go for some.
But we aren't testing candidates' recall of high school maths. We are testing whether they can handle an unexpected question, keep their wits about them under pressure, reason carefully, appreciate perspective and have the grit to work through a problem from beginning to end. We're checking whether the candidate in front of us can be, with training, a translator, a guide, a counsellor, a sympathiser and a protagonist. In short: we're checking whether the candidate has what it takes to be a Gilson Gray lawyer.
So what's the question? If you think you've got what it takes, apply for our next intern round and maybe you'll find out!

One of the main struggles of a small bathroom is the lack of storage. You can minimize, sure, but there are always a few things you will definitely need in your bathroom: towels, makeup, toothpaste, etc. And where do you put all that stuff? Some small bathrooms have very little (or nothing) in the way of storage in cabinets, or closets, which is when more enterprising small space dwellers turn to a less obvious storage spot: the wall.
Here's a trick that's as elegant as it is practical: mounting a shelf to the wall underneath your bathroom mirror. As seen on Atelier Dore, this a great way to provide a catchall for necessities in a bathroom with a sink that doesn't allow for much counter space.

Miriam=exceptionally talented and a wonderful human
Choosing to work with Miriam was one of the best decisions I made. From our first meeting at my trial, she was calm, professional, talented and a total pro, whilst also being so warm and easy to get along with. She listened to exactly what I wanted but was also able to make me look like the best version of myself with natural looking makeup. Her hair skills are fantastic and she did 5 different personalized styles which suited each bridesmaid perfectly. My hair came out even more incredible than I could have hoped and my makeup blew me away. She made me glow and look like the best version of myself, whilst also checking in regularly to make sure I was happy with the look. She also did a fantastic job with both mothers who had beautiful blow dries and incredible makeup. I wholeheartedly recommend Miriam to anyone looking for bridal hair/makeup. Book her today!!!Sent on 09/08/2019

Made my vision become a reality
I found Miriam through a friend of a friend but from the moment I emailed, she setup a call to discuss exactly what I wanted and made great recommendations to make the look a reality. She was able to transform my thin hair and also created a bright look with my makeup. I found her a week before my civil wedding and we adjusted the ceremony time 2 days before the wedding and she was completely flexible to the changes and arrived right on time the day of our ceremony. I would highly recommend to a bride that wants a personalized touch on her special day.Sent on 06/25/2020

Wedding Hair & Makeup
Miriam was absolutely great to work with. I did a hair and makeup trial with Miriam several months before my wedding and she worked with me to find the perfect hairstyle. She was so flexible and even allowed me to try several different styles until I found the one I loved. Miriam did my hair and makeup on my wedding day for myself and my mother. She did an excellent job and was professional the entire time. She was flexible with plannings and traveled to our event location. Highly recommend Miriam for your wedding as she is an extremely talented hair and makeup artist.Sent on 06/25/2020

Miriam is amazing!
Miriam was wonderful to work with in styling my hair for my micro-wedding. She was incredibly responsive during the initial booking process and made sure she could capture the exact look I was hoping for. Having her come to my home on the day of the wedding was invaluable! She put me at ease, and saved me the hassle and stress of going to a salon. She was super friendly and engaging while we were together, and most importantly made me feel so incredibly beautiful. She is an absolute gem and very talented! I would definitely recommend her, and hope to work with her again in the future.Sent on 08/31/2020

Miriam did a beautiful job with my bridal hair and makeup and also my mom's makeup! We both looked great! Miriam arrived on time, equipped us with hair spray for the rest of the day, and even let me borrow some hair pieces which looked awesome in photos. Miriam is a true professional and artist!

Amazing experience with Miriam for my 7/25/20 wedding
Miriam was incredible. My wedding was changed from a 130-person affair to a 12-person ceremony due to the pandemic, and she was with me every step of the way. She made my hair & makeup look beautiful and very "me". She also was so calm and encouraging the day of that she kept me calm! Would definitely recommend her for your next event!Sent on 07/28/2020

100% recommend
Miriam and her team were AMAZING ! From the moment I had my hair and makeup trial I knew I was making the right choice
I got hair and makeup done for me , MOB,MOG and maid of honor; my bridesmaids only got their hair.
The entire time Miriam was very professional and was able to accommodate the last minute changes in the schedule which allowed me to stay calm
I'm so glad and thankful for having Miriam as one of my vendors during my big day.
If you are still having doubts I hope this review helps you . I will 100% recommend.

Loved Miriam
Miriam was so great for hair and make up on my wedding day on Oct 5th! I had 6 bridesmaids and myself all getting their hair and make-up done in my room prior to the wedding and pictures. Miriam brought one assistant, who also was great with everyone. She was on time and kept everyone on schedule to be ready by the time I had told her beforehand all while staying calm and focused. I thought that her prices were very comparable to other on-site hair/makeup vendors I spoke with, but she also included eyelashes and airbrush in her prices, which was a plus for me where others didn't. I had a trial with Miriam beforehand, mostly for myself as I don't usually get hair or make up done. She had good tips about the styles I wanted, which I really thought helped with my final decision on hair/makeup style day of. I couldn't have been happier with my look and all of my bridesmaids look the day of!! Thanks Miriam!Sent on 10/14/2019

Quality work and excellent service!
Miriam was a joy to work with for my wedding! She was extremely responsive via email throughout the planning process and helped me feel at ease on both my trial and wedding day. She did a wonderful job adapting my reference photos to my hair style, as well as providing advice on a veil and hair piece. I really appreciate how up-front Miriam was with pricing -- there were no hidden fees or hoops to jump through. Beyond hair, her makeup style was natural and beautiful. I didn't want to feel overdone on my wedding day. Miriam did a wonderful job adapting to the colors I typically use and making me feel like the best version of myself on my wedding day. Thank you so much! I would 100% recommend Miriam.Sent on 10/22/2019

Miriam is fantastic!
If you want great wedding hair and make up look no further! Miriam did wedding hair and make up for me, my bridesmaids and mother's. She was always responsive from our first conversation up to my big day. She listened to what I wanted and made it happen. She did a great job with the bridesmaids hair. My maid of honor didn't like her hair at first and Miriam worked with her until she had it just right. She was also flexible with the mothers. They were on the fence about doing their hair and day of decided they only wanted make up and she was ok with the change. She includes air brush and fake lashes in her prices and they are very fair for wedding make up/hair. She brought in a very very good make up artist to join her to do make up for bridesmaids and mothers and assistant who helped with hair. Everyone felt beautiful! I can't recommend her more. I've had bad experiences with hair/make up when I was a bridesmaid in the past and Miriam is better than I could have imagined!Sent on 10/09/2019

Friendly, professional, and great at what she does.
Miriam was easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process. The day of the wedding, she showed up right on time and was courteous, efficient, and lovely to talk to. She did hair and makeup for me, my mother, and my mother-in-law, and everyone was thrilled with how they looked. My mom in particular was overjoyed that Miriam understood how to style her short, curly hair. Miriam did a wonderful job with my hair and makeup as well; she knew exactly what to do to make sure I didn't look washed out at our sunny, outdoor venue. I felt gorgeous, and, most importantly, I still looked like me--just an enhanced version with more luscious eyelashes and shinier hair. My airbrushed makeup and my hair stayed put all day and photographed beautifully. I have only good things to say about Miriam and highly recommend her services!Sent on 08/29/2019

Miriam was super professional, flexible and efficient when she styled me and my bridal party for my wedding.

Elise · Married on 06/23/2019
I can't say enough incredible things about Miriam! Let's start with the fact that one of the main things people complemented me on at my wedding, was my hair! She did such an incredibly fantastic job. I had gone into my trial with a few fuzzy photos and an idea of what I wanted. She helped make recommendations that she felt would look best with my face and hair and went over and above doing and redoing the style to find the exact look I loved, she is a perfectionist in the best way possible and you can tell she loves what she does. She also came up with ideas for how best to execute the style on the day. She took a two part approach and upon arriving pinned up my hair after curling it to really be sure that the texture and the look would show up right and last. Then, after doing all my bridesmaids' hair, she went onto part two and pulled it all back into my hair style. The look I wanted was relaxed, and I wanted a chignon type bun. The tough part of the relaxed look was to keep it looking loose without it actually falling out. Miriam did this perfectly. My hair lasted ALL NIGHT LONG looking perfect, and after taking out all the bobby pins that night, still looked amazing for our post-wedding event the next day. Those curls probably would have lasted a month if I needed them too. Miriam was incredibly patient and dedicated and that put me at ease knowing I would end up happy. Her experience really helped in guiding me away from having the bun too low, so I wouldn't feel any irritation on the back of my neck, and her great sense of style helped create a very timeless look that I know I will love for years to come when I look back at my pictures!Sent on 10/06/2015
When it came to my bridesmaids, I had many, with all types of hair. Each had a different look and style they wanted, and all left Miriam's chair ecstatic with the results. The variety of styles that Miriam is capable of is phenomenal and regardless of how picky you are, you will have great results with Miriam!

Highly highly recommend miriam!
Miriam and her team were one of the highlights of my wedding day experience (besides the actual getting married part, of course :). She and her team were prompt, efficient and incredibly talented.
My experience with Miriam started with a thorough trial run of my hair and makeup- and I was immediately impressed with her ability to turn my very vague and general idea for my hair into a gorgeous reality. She listened to my wishes but also inserted her wisdom and experience appropriately (including encouraging me to use the fake eye lashes, which I was hesitant to so, but ended up loving them!). Her expertise is obvious. From her passion for hair and makeup to her ability to navigate a busy and hectic wedding day with ease- she is on point.
She was flexible and patient with me as I kept changing the number of ladies getting their hair and makeup done- and was also flexible when I told her we had to pack up halfway through the morning and migrate to another location. Her system for getting through each of us (about 7 hair and 7 makeup) was seamless. Each girl was able to ask her for a style they wanted (I let them choose)- and we had some gorgeous up-do's, half up/ half down and curls.
Her sister, Ada, also joined us for the 6 hours of getting ready that morning and is highly skilled at makeup. She did my bridesmaids', mom, step-mom and MIL's makeup and everyone turned out gorgeous. They use the best products, and nothing looks caked-on or tacky or cheap. Our hair and makeup lasted through the night- despite getting sweaty from dancing for hours.
I cannot recommend Miriam (and her talented team) highly enough. She is sweet, professional and worth every penny.Sent on 05/26/2019

Miriam is amazing!
Miriam is absolutely amazing! I worked with her for my hair and makeup for my January 2019 wedding.
Right off the bat at my trial she was able to distill my hair and makeup ideas into exactly the look that I wanted for my wedding day and then recreated the look perfectly day of. For the wedding day, Miriam was super flexible on start time and was able to meet us up in Salem as we were getting married outside of the city. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law selected their looks day-of and she did an awesome job talking them through what would look best and then doing their hair beautifully.
Day of, Miriam brought a makeup artist, Ada Meza, who did an outstanding job! We were all obsessed with our makeup looks, especially our perfect lashes :) Everyone had different ideas of what they wanted and Ada did a great job perfecting their looks and keeping everyone looking formal but not overdone.
I would highly recommend Miriam and Ada! They were fun, kind, and did an incredible job!Sent on 02/09/2019

Miriam was the hair stylist for my wedding this past October 2018 and I cannot say enough great things. She did such an amazing job with my hair and my bridal party's hair for my wedding day. My updo hair style stayed in perfectly until literally the end of the evening even through hours of dancing, which I still can't believe! In addition, my 6 bridesmaids are still talking about how great it was to work with her the morning of the wedding and how happy they all were with their hair.Sent on 11/23/2018

If you want to glow on your wedding day, Miriam Meza's makes up services are perfect. I didn't want to look heavily made up, I just wanted to look polished and bright.

I would highly recommend her to any bride.Sent on 01/27/2019

Mariam was amazing. She had a trial with me which was great because she let me try a bunch of different styles of up do's and I got to figure out exactly what worked best for my look. The day of she and her assistant were early and worked so well and efficiently my whole bridal party and myself were done early. They stayed for a little longer and did touch ups on all us girls - including fixing that one piece of hair that doesn't hold a curl. She does amazing work and really listens to what her client wants. She did such a mix for my bridal party (as I let the girls choose what ever hair style they wanted) and did a great job on each person.Sent on 08/27/2018

Miriam did an amazing job with may hair and make-up! She was such a professional and so warm and easy to work with. I showed her a couple of pictures of the up-does that I thought were pretty and a picture of my dress and she assembled an up-do that was perfect at the trial. And then she miraculously recreated it exactly 2 months later on the day of my wedding! I told her I wanted light, natural make-up and at the trial she showed me what light make-up looked like and then went a little heavier so that I could see the difference. After consultation with my husband, we both agreed that the lighter make-up was more me, and that is what she did on the day of the wedding. I was still worried that it would be too much (I wear no make-up everyday), but she reassured me I looked natural and that for the pictures, I needed some makeup. Wow, was she right! It was an extremely windy and cold day (NYE wedding in boston) and we went outside to take pictures both before the ceremony and at midnight for the fireworks, and my make-up and hair looked flawless throughout! I have no idea how it all stayed for 12 hours of dancing, blowing winds, and bitter cold but it did! Everyone commented on how beautiful my hair and make-up were and in the pictures, I look like me - just a bit better! :) Miriam is focused, passionate about her job, and very reasonably priced. She also came to my hotel a bit early on the day which was nice so that there was no rush and I didnt have to worry at all. Miriam is an absolute gem and I would recommend her to anyone for hair and makeup!!Sent on 03/07/2018

Miriam is an amazing artist and very easy to work with. She was super communicative and flexible with doing an early morning wedding on a Sunday. Miriam was also very attentive in listening to our needs and wishes during the hair and makeup trials.
Miriam was an obvious choice given her rave reviews and ability to do both hair and makeup on-site for a very small wedding party (hair/makeup for 2 and makeup for 1). I highly recommend her. :)

Part: 09 Basics about Recovery Procedures in Zerto
Zerto provides various options to transfer VMs from Protected site to Recovery site. Let's discuss all of them in this post
Move operations
VMs are moved to recovery site
VMs can be re-protected by reversing the direction of replication
Move operation is generally done when protected site needs some maintenance done. More technically it is called Planned migration. In planned migration it is assumed protected and recovery sites are operational.
Move differs from failover. In move operations VMs are automatically shutdown. VMs cannot be restored to any checkpoint. They are restored only to last known checkpoint. Final checkpoint is taken to ensure data integrity
You can initiate move either from protected site or recovery site UI
After checking VMs on the recovery site, you can commit which moves VMs to Protected site or you can rollback which deletes VMs at recovery site and power ON the machines at the protected site.
If reverse replication is not configured, there is no protection for the recovered machines.
Uncommitted Move Operations
Changes made while VMs in recovery site are not saved
Difference between Failover Test Operation (described below) and Uncommitted move operations is that Failover test operation boots VM on test network, while uncommitted move operations boots VM on production network. This allows end user to do end to end testing of their application
All changes are saved in scratch volumes to enable roll back. This operation can continue till scratch volume is full. Scratch volume size is determined by journal size hard limit (by default unlimited) and journal history (by default 4 hours)
Failover Operations
It is always invoked after DR has occurred or one has to simulate DR (i.e. breaking link between the sites).
Failover operation assumes connectivity between the sites is broken BUT VMs and Disks are not removed.
VMs must be manually shutdown to avoid two instance running at the same time
In Failover operation you can always select from the list of checkpoints available
If both the ZVMs are reachable. Three options are available
Do nothing i.e. VMs on protected sites are not touched
VMs can be shutdown gracefully, if VMs do not shutdown operation is aborted
VMs are forcefully shutdown and operation continues
VMs are created at recovery site, VMDKs are attached, DR network is attached. VMs are powered ON as per the Boot order is followed.
The default is to automatically commit the failover operation without testing. Optionally you can change the commit or rollback option. In commit operation failover is finalized and in rollback back, aborting the operation
After failover operation is completed i.e. After application and business owners confirm services are running and original protected site is up you can use move option to move recovered VMs back again.
Failover Test Operations
Failover test operation creates test virtual machines in a sandbox
It uses test network specified in VPG definition
It restores VM to a specified point of time using scratch volumes (managed by VRAs). Scratch volumes are thin provisioned vdisks, one per VM in the VPG
Production VMs are not impacted during failover test operations. Since checkpoints continue to be generated, they continue to replicate.
Failover test operations is time limited. Time is based on size of journal history available at the recovery site and journal size hard limit (by default unlimited) configured
Following things can be tested using failover Test operation without impacting any production servers
VMs are replicating
VMs can be powered ON
Guest OS inside VM can boot
VMs get IPs as per policy defined in Test network configuration
VMs can be restored any checkpoints
Clone Operations
Clone operations copies VM across the WAN
Use cases: You wish to save VM to specific point in time (especially when you want to restore to specific point without having any dependence on checkpoints)
Clones machines are not powered on
Cloned machines names are appended with time stamp of checkpoint's used.
Cloned VMs are standalone VMs i.e. they are not paired with original VM for any kind of replication. Any changes made to the protected VM after clone operations are not updated with its cloned counter part
Below table explains various procedure and it's impact
DR Procedures
Move Operations
Move operation has huge impact to the environment. Must have CEO level approval.
Failover Operations
Business critical situations. Entire operations is down. Need CIO/CEO level approval to start recovery
Clone Operations
Medium impact especially to network traffic between the site. Need at least to be informed to CIO/CEO and approval from Business head
NB:I have not included Failover Test operation as it has Zero impact
I will explain each procedure in detailed in following posts

As we wait for the arrival of our first group of anglers to begin our second half of our season I thought it may be interesting to check some of the weights of our fish. I have listed 10 known (and easily recognizable) fish and have only shown those that have been banked in the first half of 2018. Those of you who follow our progress will immediately see that there are some noticeable omissions but, if they haven't been banked this year yet, they don't feature on this list.
One other thing that is noticeable is that a lot in this list are at their best ever weights while one or two are not. Obviously this relates to when they were caught this year (and last) in relation to spawning and as the big fish can lose 10lbs in spawn we can see that there are still some massive potentials for this autumn, once this ridiculously long, hot, summer eventually breaks.
Hope this is interesting and I will just add that we still have some summer and autumn spaces for 2019 while spring 2020 is filling fast.
Be lucky.
HALF LIN – 67lbs 14oz Royal Box (2017 best 74lbs 15oz)
PEACH – 65lbs 9oz 2nd Pontoon
GALILEO – 60lbs 7oz Stumps
PIPESMOKER – 60lbs 4oz Snag Bay (common)
DIPPY – 59lbs 1oz – 02/06/18 Dog Leg
HORSESHOE SCALE – 58lbs 9oz Dog Leg
PRETTY ONE – 58lbs 9oz Leaning Tree
BOB'S FISH – 56lbs 3oz Oaks
ANDY'S COMMON – 56lbs 0oz Mistletoe (2017 best 59lbs 15oz)

This week you couldn't get enough inspiration, and we love that. Usually at least a couple of houses top our weekly wrap up—some weeks lean toward beautiful, aspirational mansions and others have a tendency for small, compact and cosy family homes. That may well be the case, but not this week! Perhaps you're feeling completely satisfied with your own home, but just want to make a few improvements to some of the spaces. Luckily, our lists, guides and tips and tricks articles are always there to help, and this week we had no shortage. From patios to grills, bathrooms and outdoor kitchens one thing is abundantly clear—you're hanging onto the last moments of summer, and we're here to help!
Patios are one of the most wonderful parts of the home, if you're lucky enough to have the space. Combining the joy of the outdoors in general with a space where your family can come together and socialise results in a beautiful, warm and welcoming place to pass some time. You don't need to be on top of a mountain, or surrounded by beautiful, expansive landscapes to enjoy the area, beautiful patios can be created in all kinds of homes and spaces. In this guide you'll find five fantastic examples of patios ranging from modern, advanced style structures to simple and traditional.
Almost all of us love our homes. Even though they aren't perfect, and could use a whole lot of fixing up in a bunch of places, they are, at the end of the day, our homes. If you are ready to make some changes, or thinking about ways that you could add value to your home, then this guide we've put together will give you all the tips and tricks that you need. Whether you're considering selling, putting it on the market or just wanting a change of scenery to update and make your home more comfortable and modern, we've got you covered.
You'd be surprised—adding value to your home doesn't necessarily mean that you need to fork out huge amounts of money and be worse off financially in the long run, you can actually make a whole bunch of small fixes that will totally pay off. Check out these seven tips to get some ideas.
Summer is just about over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying the outdoors when the weather calls for it, and one of the best ways to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air is to have a good braai session. Barbecuing represents a lot more than simply cooking; it's a time to come together with friends and family and socialise. There's a lot more character when it comes to cooking outside, and it's no surprise that we all do our best to whip out the BBQ whenever we can. This list provides a whole lot of ideas, options and inspiration for getting the grill going, regardless of the space you've got to work with. So take a look, and enjoy!
Okay so some of us think astrology is a load of BS, others totally love it. We guess that even if you fall towards the former persuasion, you probably still can't resist checking out your horoscope every now and then, and that's what makes this article so great. If there's one thing we know, it's that the wonderful homify readers love bathrooms, and apparently combining this with some handy astrological advice is right up your ally. If you haven't already read our guide to getting the best bathroom based on your star sign, then take a look now—unless of course you're not interested in that. Oh go on, no one will know…
Braais and barbecues are one thing, and totally great in their own right, but an outdoor kitchen… now that takes things to a whole new level. Summer is winding up but there are plenty of good, sunny days left where you can make the most of the outdoors. Outdoor culture is part of what makes South Africa great, and super cool outdoor kitchens are one of the best ways to get into the spirit of it—with family and friends. Outdoor kitchens in general are becoming more popular, as people realise that there are a lot of benefits to cooking under the sun, or stars, and that there's a lot of potential for the actual cooking style. If this is a trend you want to get on board with, then look no further and check out our list for some ideas and inspiration!

Add a new dimension with mystery shopping
Mystery shopping, how data can make you smile
Mystery shopping is one of the supermarket chains' all time favourites when it comes to understanding their customers. You establish a series of criteria designed to qualify individual supermarkets. Then you forward your list to us.
We send a mystery shopper to each supermarket, your list tucked neatly into her pocket. The shopper then goes about buying products and noting her impressions based on our pre-arranged details.
This opens the door to insights you never dreamed of: is the price right on select products; are the offers easy to find; is the shop clean and tidy; how is the OSA - on shelf availability - for certain products? Now you know more about the supermarket's general service level, if certain campaigns can be located and if your check-out staff is smiling and happy to help.
Once the mystery shopper is done for the day, you get a report packed with data making it easy to locate action points to ensure your shoppers get an even better experience next time.
Be inspired by our other customers
Mystery Shopping is your gateway to insights into how you can optimise your sales and services. Let us measure and analyse exactly what you want answers for working with anonymous customer feedback. View a selection of the activities, we have helped other customers succeed with.

How 401(k) automatic features can boost retirement savings
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
The U.S. tax reform bill that passed late last year has companies seeing lower tax rates and more cash on their balance sheets. The windfall provides companies with an opportunity to use newly available funds to directly benefit their employees. As organizations embark on 2019 planning, now's the time to reevaluate retirement plan design and establish new ways — such as automatic services — to encourage plan participants to save for retirement.
Offering automatic features in retirement plans are a way that companies can maximize employee participation and encourage participants to contribute at higher rates. Retirement advisers and plan sponsors are modernizing traditional auto-services to begin thinking about how they can be customized based on the financial health of varying employee populations.
Auto-enrollment default rate: Auto-enrollment features can have a direct impact on both participation and contribution rates. Our annual Reference Point report shows participation rates are 42 percentage points higher in plans that offer auto-enrollment in 2017 than those that do not. However, participation is just one element of the complex task of building retirement savings; how much people are saving is also important to retirement success. Plan sponsors should set the default deferral rate to at least 6% of an employee's salary.
Historically, employers have defaulted participants at a 3% savings rate. This is not sufficient. Behavioral finance research shows that setting a low default rate influences participants to view the default deferral as the recommended and ideal savings rate. As a result, participants do not increase their savings rate beyond this. However, employees are open to saving more — and tend to do so when employers enroll them at higher rates. T. Rowe Price's 2015 Retirement Spending and Saving study showed that 73% of workers with a 401(k) were satisfied that their employer auto-enrolled them. Approximately 43% wished their employer had enrolled them at a higher contribution rate.
Auto-escalation: The most effective way to implement automatic increases to the deferral rate is to make them the default option. Two-thirds of participants will stick with the choice their employers make while 13% will choose to opt in to the automatic increase option on their own. An investor who starts contributing 6% toward retirement and increases the deferral rate by 2% each year will almost have as much saved after 35 years as someone who saved 15% from the outset. Meanwhile, a worker who never increases the deferral rate has at least 50% less savings when they are near retirement age.
Employer match: An employer match is another method that can significantly influence savings rates. Our research found that 50% of all workers — including 54% of millennials — are very likely or absolutely certain to increase their contribution rate, in order to get the maximum match.
Stretch match: A stretch match encourages plan participants to save more in order to receive the maximum benefit of the plan sponsor's contribution matching formula. T. Rowe Price's 2016 Human Resources Perspective: A Survey of Larger 401(k) Plans found that while half of plan sponsors are still using a traditional matching formula (50%), 38% have adopted a stretch match formula.
A successful retirement requires a partnership between plan sponsors and their participants. Offering auto-features in plans and educating participants on these benefits can influence participation, encourage better financial behavior, and aid individuals on the path to a financially secure retirement.

THROWING TO THIRD — There were a lot of great moments from the baseball diamond this weekend, including the Angels' stunning tribute to deceased pitcher Tyler Skaggs with a combined no-hitter that hadn't been done in the state of California since the day Skaggs was born.
Anaheim wasn't the only highlight-fest this week, though.
Here are a few of our favorite moments, plus a reminder that football is right around the corner.
As always, click the video above for all of our favorite Great Clips of the Week.
Bryce Harper the Strong
We all know 26-year-old superstar Bryce Harper can hit — 200 career home runs, 583 RBI, and a .508 slugging percentage prove it.
But did you know he can throw, too?
The famous Latter-day Saint slugger from Las Vegas showed off his cannon of an arm during the Phillies' 4-3 loss Saturday night to the Nationals.
Facing his former team, Harper tracked down Victor Robles' hit that ricocheted off the outfield wall, then hurled it more than 300 feet as Robles tried to take third base. All he got was a lot of glove and another out.
Harper's throw traveled 310 feet, according to Statcast, which would make it the longest tracked outfield assist in baseball in 2019 and the second-longest tracked outfield assist since the program's debut in 2015.
The Phillies even did one better one night later, beating the Nats 4-3 on Maikel Franco's walk-off home run.
Last week's Great Clips:
Javy Baez the Impossible
The Cubs had plenty of highlights in their 10-4 win Saturday over the Pirates.
But they saved their best for last.
With one out in the top of the ninth, Javier Baez, Addison Russell and Anthony Rizzo finished the game in style with an impossibly perfect 6-4-3 double play you have to see to believe.
A little magic to end it. 🎩✨ pic.twitter.com/FBfperRUwY— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) July 13, 2019
Baez's diving catch-and-flip, Russell's barehanded snatch for the first out, and Rizzo's scoop to end the inning (and the game) were all classic moments. Which was your favorite? We're having a hard time choosing.
Leave your favorite moment in the comment section below.
Patrick Mahomes the Proficient
And finally, while we're still more than two months away from football season, but it's never too early to start the hype train.
If you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan, tip the conductor well.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was caught by a local news helicopter throwing balls toward a trash can. But what made this throw different than the daily drill was that Mahomes was standing on the field — and the trash can was on the upper-deck concourse at Arrowhead Stadium.
So how'd he do?
That's some serious arm strength right there💪🏽. @Chiefs@PatrickMahomes#OurQuarterback#ChiefsKingdom#Chiefspic.twitter.com/YN7CUNSFCS— 41 Action News (@41actionnews) July 12, 2019
The casual nature of the throw is impressive, as is the fact that Mahomes' pass landed just a few feet away from a barrel (for which he may or may not have been aiming).
No word if the Chiefs have signed the barrel to a veteran's minimum contract, though.

However, interestingly enough, the string itself contains single and double quotes. This means, inside the string literal, the originally escaped double quotes no longer need to be escaped, but the single quotes now need to be escaped.

Unsemantic linewrapping - 698 entries
[Inspired by a blog post I read: https://scott.mn/2014/02/21/semantic_linewrapping/. Text adapted.] Sometimes when editing a Markdown file, I wrap the lines semantically. Instead of inserting a newline at 70 columns (or whatever), or making paragraphs one long line, I put in newlines at a point that seems logical to me. This may seem silly, but it produces better diffs. Semantic linewrapping also makes editing snappier. I can delete, edit or insert sentences easily using linewise operations. Code-oriented text editors like Vim and [REDACTED] are really good at this kind of manipulation. Editing text that hasn't been wrapped semantically is a pain, though:

You don't hear the term "store cheese" too much anymore because, well, most of the stores are gone. The general stores, that is, where giant wheels of cheese sat out on the wooden counter, usually the meat counter, waiting to be cut to order. These wheels weighed some 40 pounds, maybe more, and they were a beautiful, reassuring sight. As long as that sturdy wheel sat there, you knew that some things, at least, could be relied upon. Its sheer size, its magnificent presence, was a kind of guarantee. Whether you bought some or not—which usually you did--it was there if you needed it. Without the store, there's no cheese, and life in places where the store and the cheese have disappeared is less secure because of it.
Store cheese is always cheddar, but very fine cheddar—one that is well-aged, white, meltingly creamy, ideal at room temperature—indeed, almost warm. To describe it as extra sharp would be an injustice; its mouth-filling flavor is more aptly expressed as intensely rich with a saliva-producing edge. Its texture is firm but not hard, and it should fracture or break nicely when cold. Because a well-aged cheddar will soften considerably as it warms, be sure it is cold when you grate it, and keep grated cheese cool until you are ready to use it so it doesn't mush together.
Cheddar's origins are English, and New Englanders remain deeply committed to their ancestral cheese. The store cheese that I know and love comes from Cabot Creamery in Vermont, and for years it was sold at Wilbur's Store in Little Compton. Actually, it still is: Wilbur's is still there, and the cheese is still sold there. But Wilbur's changed hands, and now the store cuts it up in advance rather than to order, and sells pieces already wrapped and marked. It's the same cheese. But it's not the same.
LCM Store Cheese Soufflé
Bread forms the "base" of this soufflé, eliminating the need to make a white sauce. You could serve this for lunch with a big plate of sliced tomatoes or as a side dish at dinner, especially with ham. Serves 4.
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs plus additional for topping (see Note)
1 cup grated best-quality store cheese or well-aged white cheddar, packed
2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs, separated
½ tea salt
1/8 tea cayenne pepper
1-2 T cold unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 1 ½ qt soufflé dish or 4 1-cup ramekins or small bowls; tapered bowls seem to encourage a nice mound.
In a medium bowl, place the bread crumbs and cover with the milk; allow to rest for a minute. Drop in the egg yolks and beat. Add the cheese and stir. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the other ingredients in two stages.
Using a ladle, fill the dish or distribute the batter among the ramekins or bowls. Sprinkle the tops with additional breadcrumbs, and dot with butter.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until puffy and nicely browned. Like all soufflés, these will fall soon after removing from the oven. By all means send them to the table, but wait ten minutes or so before cutting into them or they may throw some liquid. They will still be hot, and their texture excellent, after the wait.
Note: Fresh bread crumbs can be made from any fresh or day-old but not dry or hard bread, crusts removed. A food processor is the perfect tool for this; a few pulses with give your coarse crumbs, and few more, fine ones. If you don't have a food processor, your can tear the bread into small pieces for this recipe.
I keep a bag of fine dry bread crumbs in the freezer at all times, and replenish it whenever I have a few leftover pieces or an odd bread end. They have endless uses as toppings and thickenings, and for breading meats and fish. There is nothing so alluring as a casserole topped with a crunchy golden crown or a plate-size veal schnitzel with lemon, and having crumbs always on hand makes them everyday options.

Daily Beast reporter Sam Stein apologized on Monday after accidentally tweeting out the home address of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R.) when he posted a copy of the arrest warrant for the man accused of assaulting the senator.
Paul suffered bruised lungs and five broken ribs after Rene Boucher tackled him from behind Friday on the lawn of Paul's home in Bowling Green, Ky., according to police. Boucher, a neighbor of Paul's, was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge.
Recent Stories in Politics
Stein tweeted Monday he had obtained the arrest warrant, but it showed Paul's address in the complaint description showing where police responded to the original call. It also had Boucher's address.
After online observers noted this, Stein deleted his tweet and sent out a copy of the warrant with both addresses redacted.
"Here is a repost of arrest warrant for Rand Paul incident. This one has redactions. Sincere apologies about missing that last time," he wrote.

Paul's injuries are severe enough that it is not clear when he will be able to return to work in Washington.

Publication Date
The listening environment is viewed as an aspect of organizational culture that both influences and is influenced by individual behaviour. Discusses the concept of the listening environment within hospitality organizations from a symbolic/culture perspective. Examines the ways in which this environment influences both the accomplishment of organizational tasks and the development of interpersonal relationships on the job. Suggests that managers can deliberately control many aspects of the listening environment, and that effective hospitality leaders foster strong listening environments as one approach to increasing employee participation, excellent guest service and organizational commitment.

How Good Is Your Local Hospital?
The time to research it is now, before you need it
Not all hospitals are created equal. If you ever need one, your health and even your life may depend on how well equipped the facility is to treat your condition and even how clean and well organized it is.
More than 1,000 people a day die in U.S. hospitals due to preventable medication errors or other mistakes. All told, about 440,000 people a year, roughly the population of Miami, die from hospital safety mistakes.
Do you know how good your local hospital is, and what your options are? Now is the time to find out.
"People shouldn't feel like they have only one hospital to go to because it is in their community and the one everyone else goes to," says Erica Mobley, a spokesperson for The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit organization and one of several groups that rate hospitals. Taking an active role in choosing your hospital is wise, she says. "Do it before you are sick."
Of course, if it's an emergency you may not have a choice in where the ambulance takes you (though you can make a request, which the driver may or may not honor depending on a variety of factors). But in plenty of situations, including non-emergencies, you may have a choice.
Related: Having Surgery? 8 Ways to Avoid a Hospital Infection
What is your hospital's safety score or reputation?
You can find out how your hospital performs on safety by doing some easy online research.
Hospital Safety Score. Start by going to Hospital Safety Score, Leapfrog's site. Search by zip code or city and state. Hospitals get a letter grade, from A to F. Of the more than 2,500 hospitals issued a score, 782 got an A, 719 a B, 859 a C, 143 a D and 20 an F in the most recent ratings. Users can compare previous scores to see if the hospital is improving or declining.
The score is calculated by evaluating data from Leapfrog's own hospital survey and data from a variety of other sources, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In all, it looks at 28 measures, such as how often the hospital follows treatment recommendations (such as giving an antibiotic right before surgery) and outcome measures (such as how often surgeons leave foreign objects, such a sponge or surgical instrument, in patients after surgery).
Hospital Compare. To find out how Medicare rates your hospital, go to Hospital Compare. You can search for hospitals by zip code or facility name. (The list even includes children's hospitals.) The tool tells let you compare two or more hospitals' complication rates, unplanned readmission rates (how often patients released from the hospital need to return within 30 days due to a problem), death rates and effective care rates for certain conditions. The effective care rates are based on whether the hospitals provide care that research shows gets the best results for conditions such as heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia.
You can even compare how well the nurses communicate and see how the hospital compares with others in your state and with the national norm.
Your State Department. Your state department of health may also issue a report card on health care facilities. For instance, Illinois has its Illinois Hospital Report Card, allowing residents to look up and compare hospitals by city, facility name, zip code or county. Clicking on various tabs gives information about safety, patient satisfaction other details. You can compare facilities to each other.
On any of these tools, look for information related to the area you expect to need care for, Mobley says. If you have a heart condition, for instance, see how the hospital performs on heart surgery. Look at how quickly they treat a heart attack, when minutes count.
Don't overlook comments from patients included in many of the ratings and reports. Details such as ''how well the nurse communicated" count. Research by Consumer Reports found patients who were rarely treated well by hospital staff were 2.5 times more likely to have a serious problem in the hospital, such as developing an infection or getting an incorrect diagnosis.
If a hospital has many unhappy patients, notice how it compares with other hospitals in your area and with the national norm.
Related: When Is the Safest Time to Go to a Hospital?
Help for specific conditions
Some hospitals specialize in or excel at treating certain conditions. If you happen to develop one of those conditions, you may be better off at one of those hospitals.
For example, if you have stroke risk factors, including a family history of stroke, find out if a hospital near you has a certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. Certification indicates the center is equipped to handle the most complex stroke cases. Research has found improved survival for patients with hemorrhagic strokes treated in those hospitals. The Joint Commission has a list of comprehensive stroke centers.
Other research has found better treatment and results if cancer patients received treatment at a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center. For instance, a recent study found women with ovarian cancer survived longer if they received care at a comprehensive facility compared to other hospitals. The National Cancer Institute has a list of comprehensive cancer centers.
What about emergencies?
If a loved one falls down the stairs and suffers a serious head injury, your regular hospital may not do; he may need a trauma center, where the doctors are equipped to deal with certain types of major injuries. Does your hospital have a trauma center?
The American Trauma Society maintains a list of trauma centers across the country. Trauma centers are classified as level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 based on the kinds of resources available and the number of patients admitted each year. (The highest level is 1.) The American Trauma Society site makes it easy to locate the trauma center nearest you — a good piece of information for everyone to know.
Related: Emergency! Should You Drive to the Hospital or Call An Ambulance?
Treating rare or complex problems
If your condition is rare or requires complicated treatment, you may want to check out U.S. News & World Report's annual list of best hospitals. The publication also ranks the top hospitals by specialty, such as cancer, cardiology, gynecology, psychiatry and orthopedics. The annual list is meant, the publication editors say, to guide patients who need unusual or complex care. The report also has a list of regional hospitals that offer outstanding care for more common conditions and needs.

Épices de Cru Pink Peppercorns
In a nutshell: Add colour and citrus flavour to everyday dishes with our fragrant Madagascan Pink Peppercorns.
Great Taste 2019 2-star award winner
Pink peppercorns are grown in South America (mainly Brazil and Peru), Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands like Mauritius and Réunion. Confusingly, they are not a true peppercorn and come from a different Botanical species, Schinus molle, sometimes called the Peruvian pepper tree. Our Pink peppercorns come from Madagascar and have a mild, sweet flavour with none of the usual traces of bitterness sometimes found in inferior quality pink peppercorns. This makes them infinitely more digestible with a lovely resinous, citrus crunch to them. Highly decorative and colourful, they should not be used in pepper mills as their oiliness clogs grinding mechanisms; simply crush them in a spice grinder or chop with a sharp knife. Use them whole or crushed as a finishing pepper, and to add colour, to salads, vegetable dishes and grilled or baked goats cheese. They are lovely with roast chicken, game and pork, grilled prawns and added to home-made chutneys and pickles. They are also a very good cocktail component and you can enliven a glass of fizz by dropping a few into the bottom of the glass before pouring. If you can get some sashimi-grade tuna, salmon or some really fresh sea bass fillets, make a carpaccio and sprinkle over a dressing made with pink peppercorns, olive oil and lemon juice.

About Épices de Cru
Épices de Cru began in 1982 as a catering partnership between Philippe and Ethné de Vienne. Their mission was a kind of "cooking pot anthropology:" learning the secrets of family cooking around the world and applying these techniques to the needs of hungry Montrealers. The secret, they learned, was spices. Over the last two decades, Philippe and Ethné have searched for the world's best spices, accompanied by their children, Marika and Arik. The de Viennes believe in direct sourcing spices: visiting growing regions, spending time with growers, and developing personal relationships that last decades. In 2004, they officially opened their first spice shop in Montreal's fantastic Jean Talon market– it's since become a mecca for foodies from all over the world. I first visited in 2008 and have been buying and using their spices on a regular basis ever since that first exciting visit. They steadfastly maintain that they do nothing original, only facilitating the exchange of culinary common sense from one place to another. But, what they do is simply quite brilliant - by providing us with the finest quality ingredients, and their superb spice mixes, we can all experiment with unusual spices and recreate delicious recipes from around the world.

It is with great pleasure that we continue to build on our partnership with BBC Radio. As you may know we work with BBC Radio 3 to bring unique live concerts directly to your home and home town (Bristol Baroque Festival May 2013, Brahms Experience October 2014). We are delighted to announce that, with BBC Radio 4, we are presenting an entirely different kind of event!
With Great Pleasure is a Radio 4 show, much like Desert Island Discs, which over the years has asked a host national treasures to discuss their favourite works of literature, passages of which are read live by professional actors. A recent show featured Sir Terry Wogan with readings by Sir David Jason. On Thursday 24th July the show will feature the favourite works of our beloved actor, Simon Callow. Simon will be joined by Patricia Hodge (Miranda's hilarious Mother in BBC 1 TV comedy show MIRANDA) who will be reading works by Shakespeare, Dickens, Fitzgerald and more.
What's even more extraordinary about this event is that the show is usually recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre, but in the coming months Simon Callow (CBE) and other guests (tbc) will share their readings with a live audience at St George's Bristol!
For just £10 (plus booking fee) you can join these two great British actors for an unforgettable and personal experience. Click here to book.

Um, Ariana Grande Just Shaded Her Own Albums
On the heels of her fourth album, Sweetener, Ariana Grande is looking back at her past records, and not everything she has to say is positive.
In an interview with Troye Sivan for Paper Magazine, the 25-year-old singer said that as much as she has an appreciation for her past work, it was also a means to an end: She used hits like "Into You" and "Problem" to build her platform so that she could make the music she really wanted to be making.
"I feel like Dangerous Woman was a grown-up My Everything, and [Sweetener] is a grown-up Yours Truly. And with all due respect to My Everything and Dangerous Woman, I feel like I played the game a lot on those two albums," she explained. "I wanted to make dope records that would put me in a place where I could then make whatever the f--k I wanted. I kind of played the game a little bit. All my favorite songs from those two albums are not the singles, like they aren't at all."
She then backtracked a bit, saying that it's not that she doesn't like those albums, but that Sweetener just feels more like who she is.
"Am I insulting my own work?" she asked. "I don't think so, because I really like it all. But this just feels closer to home, you know what I mean? It feels like now the mask is off, let's talk."

(South Africa)
This was the day I accepted Jesus into my heart and gave my life to Him.
I grew up in a religion not believing in Jesus Christ and I was involved in witchcraft, but the day I found that Jesus is more real than you and me - I wrote this poem, my first poem and I never stopped.
Thank you Jesus for this gift I received from You, may it bring glory only to You our Saviour King, Jesus Christ our one and only hope.
I'll never let you go (The day Jesus saved me)- 11 May 2010
I can't see anything but blackness, for I have lost my spark
Guilt feelings tearing me apart, I've been enslaved by the king of the dark
Where am I? In so deep; I can't even see an escape
Evil dark creatures tearing at me as I try to hide underneath my cape
Have You forsaken me Father, have You left me out to die?
I can't shout for help, not even a peep, there is something covering my mouth; I'm not allowed to cry
But my voice was made silent, without me even knowing
These shackles and chains are dragging me down, the marks are now showing
My mouth is parched and my tears can be no more
I don't even have enough strength to look for an exit door
As I lie curled up in the thick darkness of hopelessness and despair
I felt a spider crawling over my back, and I didn't even care
For I can't even love myself, so who can ever love me?
I feel thrown away, abandoned, I'm stuck in a nightmare with I, myself and me
But what do I see there in the dark, as I try to adjust my sight
At first a shimmer, but now a piercing light
Fingers tearing at the dark from the outside in
It was Jesus, breaking away the evil eggshell, fighting to get in
As He climbed through, the darkness melted like ice
He came to save me from satan and pay the price
All hell broke loose into a panic as He grabbed satan by the hair
While his partners in crime, all scattered and vanished into thin air
Jesus gave him one look, and franticly satan tries to explain in fear
And as I came to realize it's my Father, down my cheek rolled a single tear
He threw satan aside, not wanting to waste his time; he is not worth it
As satan scurried like a rat into a corner to sulk and sit
Jesus came to save me; He'll never let me go
Then He broke the chains and wiped my tears just to let me know
That the jewels and riches of the world could never be compared to me
