[17:27:00] <SharonChisholm> Netconf Protocol: Security Considerations
[17:27:10] <SharonChisholm> Authentication and Access Control
[17:27:10] --- Eliot Lear has joined
[17:27:36] <SharonChisholm> There is inherent access control now, people may not realize this
[17:27:47] <SharonChisholm> "The authentication process ..."
[17:28:17] <SharonChisholm> This implies that all netconf operations/data must be mapable to existing acccess control specifications
[17:28:33] <SharonChisholm> must be checked against both
[17:29:00] <SharonChisholm> (the standardized model to come as well as the existing stuff)
[17:29:14] <SharonChisholm> existing access control systems aren't network based
[17:29:51] <SharonChisholm> recommendation: let's drop this requirement
[17:30:27] <SharonChisholm> replace with "Netconf MUST NOT be implemented without a suitable access control <something>"
[17:31:03] <SharonChisholm> elliot - i would like to comment, but ...
[17:31:08] <SharonChisholm> wes - wait until end ..
[17:31:49] <SharonChisholm> andy - like the first part to remove the text, but "MUST NOT " ... what does a suitable <thing> mean?
[17:31:54] --- Tove has joined
[17:32:31] <SharonChisholm> eliot - this is a misinterpreation of the text or our text is unclear. The intentions was that it should be possible for the CLI and netconf ... it should be possible for them to be consistent
[17:32:38] <SharonChisholm> wes - what it says is very different
[17:32:51] <SharonChisholm> wes - how do you make the consistent without for them to be the same
[17:33:03] <SharonChisholm> eliot - it should be possible for them to be the same than they must be the same
[17:33:09] <SharonChisholm> New issue
[17:33:19] <SharonChisholm> Netconf Protocol Chaining
[17:33:28] --- sakai has joined
[17:33:32] <SharonChisholm> Some operations work on remote datasets
[17:33:45] <SharonChisholm> copy-config and URL based : ftp, http
[17:33:52] <SharonChisholm> recommendation - <missed>
[17:33:59] <SharonChisholm> netconf locking: DOS
[17:34:10] <SharonChisholm> global locks means global lock-outs
[17:34:25] <SharonChisholm> this is a known issue
[17:34:38] <SharonChisholm> point is that locks add insecurity if granted to peons
[17:34:49] <SharonChisholm> netconf operations: micro versus global
[17:34:56] <SharonChisholm> netconf assumptions
[17:35:04] <SharonChisholm> conf stores are always shared
[17:35:16] <SharonChisholm> IE, there is not one candidate per user
[17:35:50] <SharonChisholm> Andy - some text in the candidate section ... if candidate config is not global, there would be a capavbility extension
[17:36:04] <SharonChisholm> wes - designed to be a group oriented protocol ... ok, but ramification
[17:36:19] <SharonChisholm> graphical picutre in prety colours
[17:36:49] <SharonChisholm> consider policy: user p1 can only edit var1, can't edit var2; user p2 can edit var2
[17:37:10] <SharonChisholm> <example continues>
[17:37:28] <SharonChisholm> global operations add complexity to the ACM
[17:37:54] <SharonChisholm> andy - that would be coupled to the user's ability to retreive the config
[17:38:13] <SharonChisholm> randy - desc between what they can see with get config compared to what is there
[17:38:40] <SharonChisholm> wes - want them to be able to validate, but errors should not disclose info that user doesn't have permision to see
[17:39:11] <SharonChisholm> wes - policy control plays into this <missed some stuff>
[17:39:45] <SharonChisholm> The example is showing users being able to do things that they shouldn't really have permission to do
[17:39:47] <sleinen> Slides are now up on the Web: http://www.ops.ietf.org/netconf/60/
[17:39:59] <SharonChisholm> we are in a position where we can't do role-based management
[17:40:24] <SharonChisholm> recommendation: "Netconf 1.0o MUST NOT be used in restricted-role environments" or Fix the problems
[17:40:47] <SharonChisholm> andy - serial access is not a DOS
[17:40:57] <SharonChisholm> wes - if they can lock ... they can attack
[17:41:08] <SharonChisholm> wes - need to recognize and document the problem
[17:41:31] <SharonChisholm> wes - i think in the future we will do partial locking and other things which will fix the problem.
[17:41:49] <SharonChisholm> wes - we have deferred this is fine. But we need to make sure people understand
[17:42:15] <SharonChisholm> eliot - i think there is another possibility here . why can't p1 discard changes? Is this the candidate config
[17:42:55] <SharonChisholm> wes - discard changes applies to candidate. if the root user and does not get a lock, and peon one says roll back it will undue changes that it doesn't ... and the root user does not role back
[17:43:23] <SharonChisholm> andy - why would the root user not lock? We already said if you don't lock, you do it at your paril(sp)
[17:43:30] <SharonChisholm> eliot - agree with wes.
[17:43:36] --- jis has joined
[17:43:58] <SharonChisholm> eliot - another approach to dealing with discard changes is ... use locking
[17:44:15] <SharonChisholm> wes - trying to sayl that if you don't use locking, peons can mess you up
[17:44:36] --- aen has joined
[17:44:51] <SharonChisholm> wes - final issue - it is not clear what happens to global operations if you can only get the lock on one data thing (source or target).
[17:44:59] <SharonChisholm> wes - the security considerations can capture this

[17:56:46] <Eliot Lear> to put this stuff in the protocol draft would be presumptuous

[17:58:11] <Eliot Lear> Andy: take it to the list, but we did go through this once, and the result was based on ease of validation by having them be elements
[17:58:26] --- sakai has left: Replaced by new connection
[17:58:26] <Eliot Lear> Sharon: let's not gate the protocol on the data model...
[17:58:47] <Eliot Lear> Sharon: and that's pretty much it. Questions?
[17:59:26] <Eliot Lear> Andy Bierman: open issues
[17:59:39] <Eliot Lear> Retrieval filtering
[17:59:59] <Eliot Lear> we need a mandatory to implement mechanism
[18:00:06] <Eliot Lear> either subtree filtering
[18:00:13] <Eliot Lear> it's undocumented other than in an email
[18:00:27] <Eliot Lear> and then there's an XPATH subset that juergen did a week after
[18:00:46] --- dem107 has joined
[18:00:48] <Eliot Lear> pros for subtree is that it's fully specified and not hard to do
[18:00:57] <Eliot Lear> downside: it's netconf specific filtering mechanism
[18:01:07] <Eliot Lear> xpath subset: it's a subset of something well implemented
[18:01:22] <Eliot Lear> if you buy into the assumption that everyone will need to know XPATH anyway, then this saves time
[18:01:34] <Eliot Lear> downside is that it's also NETCONF specific because it's a subset
[18:01:57] <Eliot Lear> tools might not limit themselves to our arbitrary subset of the standard
[18:02:41] <Eliot Lear> Wes: might not vendors augment this stuff anyway?
[18:03:02] --- nov has joined
[18:03:11] <Eliot Lear> andy: we are trying to get people to do full xpath, what's to stop them from deciding on their own what the subset is going to be?
[18:03:36] <Eliot Lear> andy doesn't really like either solution, but on small or medium sized devices, this will be an issue.
[18:04:14] <Eliot Lear> Andy; we've otherwise done a good job of keeping the protocol usable for small platforms
[18:04:35] <Eliot Lear> Andy: just to be able to specify the name space is a form of filtering
[18:04:58] <Eliot Lear> wes: if the data model goes forward and produces something, whatever it is it would be nice if all of those align
[18:05:10] <Eliot Lear> decision points
[18:05:21] <Eliot Lear> - full sport for XPATH
[18:05:29] <Eliot Lear> indicated by the #xpath capability
[18:05:42] <Eliot Lear> choose mandatory-to-implement filter
[18:05:53] <Eliot Lear> show of hands
[18:06:25] <Eliot Lear> about 1/3 - 1/2 the room says YES; nobody says NO
[18:07:31] <Eliot Lear> simon leinen: this pushes us too far down the "separate engine" world as we have in SNMP - assumes XML-based configuration
[18:07:44] <Eliot Lear> simon: what do the junoscript people think?
[18:07:59] <Eliot Lear> do you find it feasible to implement it in an efficient way?
[18:08:49] <Eliot Lear> rob enns: from the juniper perspective, there is an internal form of the configuration that gets accessed by the parser.
[18:09:14] <Eliot Lear> so we don't have a standard XPATH implementation, so we use a parser that is integrated with the CLI's parser. this keeps the XML close to the CLI
[18:09:40] <Eliot Lear> it's only on the last stage that there's a difference.
[18:11:06] <Eliot Lear> randy: help me understand: as the netconf protocol is currently defined, if someone does a get-config it needs to generate an XML representation of the entire config. so it's not clear to me why if it's capable of generating and accepting an XML representation, why the internal representation matters
[18:12:10] <Eliot Lear> Phil Schafer: we favor substree filtering, and we haven't had a request to do XPATH. subtree filtering is simple and efficient
[18:12:27] <Eliot Lear> Sharon: XPATH has a lot more potential for solving other problems and use of third party software.
[18:12:57] <Eliot Lear> Sharon: I'm concerned that we'll end up with a one-off solution that has growing complexity
[18:13:38] <Eliot Lear> Andy: We use this XML representation for edit config. to use a completely different representation for get-config filtering imposes a requirement that the operator understand how to map between them. this raises the bar. Why do that?
[18:14:25] <Eliot Lear> Andy: the issue that concerns me (again) is the resources on small and medium devices. someone told me that it's not unusual to need 10x the memory of an expression to process a request
[18:14:38] <Eliot Lear> Andy; i don't want to mandate it everywhere because it is cost prohibitive.
[18:15:07] <Eliot Lear> Andy: but we should evolve to it, and so that's why we have the capability because over time the memory constraints won't be a factor
[18:15:26] --- becarpenter has left: Replaced by new connection
[18:15:27] --- becarpenter has joined
[18:15:27] --- becarpenter has left
[18:15:36] <Eliot Lear> (???) can we handle this on the client side?
[18:16:13] <Eliot Lear> Andy: any more discussion?
[18:16:39] <Eliot Lear> Randy: it sounds like to me the choice is primarily figuring out for these low capability boxes whether they are so limited in their capabilities that none would be realistic
[18:17:08] <Eliot Lear> Andy: none should really have an asterisk to indicate that you have namespace based filtering
[18:17:46] <Eliot Lear> Randy: we have a quantum leap between none and XPATH. Do we have that sort of quantum leap in devices capabilities?
[18:18:48] <Eliot Lear> Simon: I would miss this sort of capability. i would not be very happy if my choice was only full configurations and XPATH processing
[18:19:01] <Eliot Lear> Simon: i'm pretty sure subtree filtering would be useful
[18:19:20] <Eliot Lear> Simon: the benefit of having XPATH for tools is not as important
[18:19:53] <Eliot Lear> rob enns: agree with simon. NETCONF has the ability to deal with partial configs, but if we can't do that for retrieval, it's a loss.
[18:20:07] <Eliot Lear> Andy: agrees. was in operator requirements
[18:20:51] <Eliot Lear> vote on mandatory to implement - 10 - 20
[18:21:19] <Eliot Lear> sorry- none - 0 subtree 18 - 20 and XPATH subset 4
[18:21:41] <Eliot Lear> we'll be prepared to look at the netmod working group produces
[18:22:15] <Eliot Lear> Rollback
[18:22:28] <Eliot Lear> WG agreed to address rollback and retrieval filtering at IETF 59
[18:22:38] <Eliot Lear> sharon takes over
[18:22:54] <SharonChisholm> Need to undo efits or commits to the <running> configuration ...
[18:23:04] <SharonChisholm> Rollback Definition
[18:23:19] <SharonChisholm> per session ring buffer
[18:23:39] <SharonChisholm> restores entire configuration to previous state; not a per-session restore operation
[18:23:52] <SharonChisholm> #rollback capability
[18:24:03] <SharonChisholm> randy - would that include pieces of information that this user does not have access to
[18:24:30] <SharonChisholm> andy - it is an internal snapshop - if there are changes in the database ... yes ... I see where you are going ... don't want to go into security discussion right now.
[18:25:11] <SharonChisholm> wes - my only question is .. if it stated 6 times in the document that using locking is good., not using is bad. Why is locking not explicit>
[18:25:16] <SharonChisholm> andy - tried that
[18:25:17] --- becarpenter has joined
[18:25:55] <SharonChisholm> eliot - one problem is after we get through the data model discussion, the next topic is granular locking. we will need some transition. we might not want to make locking mandatory now and address in next round
[18:26:06] <SharonChisholm> wes - <suggestion on partial locking>?
[18:26:14] <SharonChisholm> eliot - i could live with that
[18:26:25] <SharonChisholm> #rollback capability
[18:26:44] <SharonChisholm> indicates the <checkpoint> <discard-checkpoint> and <rollback> operations are supported
[18:27:07] <SharonChisholm> <checkpoint> - whatever steps are taken to get back to this state (not counters ... configuration)
[18:27:29] <SharonChisholm> if buffer is full, the oldest restore opeation is deleted
[18:27:45] <SharonChisholm> <rollback> this restores the running configuration
[18:28:10] <SharonChisholm> phil - confused ... per session ring buffer but it is global restoration ... never know when what you save gets dicscarded
[18:29:00] <SharonChisholm> andy - not what I mean ... if you use locking ... if you checkpoint the data ... you will get back to where you check pointed ... if you don't use locking ... user A ... user B ... user B wants the changes to stick. user A rollback ... you nuke his changes
[18:29:11] <SharonChisholm> andy - that is without locking ...
[18:29:28] <SharonChisholm> phil - you said it was per session, but you can affect other people's changes
[18:29:59] <SharonChisholm> andy - if you create a checkpoint ... only my session can restore with my checkpoint operation ... not one ring buffer that everyone can use
[18:30:19] <SharonChisholm> andy - if I start up my session ... checkpoint ... checkpoint .. checkpoint ... I'm the only one who can use these
[18:30:49] <SharonChisholm> wes - from security good. from a usage perspective ... what happens when you make changes that prevent you from accessing that session. then you can't access those checkpoints
[18:30:55] <SharonChisholm> andy - yeah, I see ...
[18:31:35] <SharonChisholm> Sue H. - on that last point ... just want to clarify wes' question ... is the session locking on whole data model
[18:31:39] <SharonChisholm> andy - yes
[18:32:04] <SharonChisholm> sue - so you have two sessions ... botha ttached the the box. both making changes ... no locking ... or are you assuming locking from one of these sessions?
[18:32:30] <SharonChisholm> andy - if no body uses locking and concurrent changes are being done .. just like CLI ... potential to step on other people's changes ...
[18:32:35] <SharonChisholm> sue - all or nothing?
[18:33:03] <SharonChisholm> andy - intend to have partial locking in the future ... problem is it across all protocols ... need mapping from SNMP, CLI, Netcongf ...
[18:33:37] <SharonChisholm> Sue - question is just a clarification ... locking .. then you lock everything, two people can't do a rollback. either one session or the other ....
[18:34:03] <SharonChisholm> andy - we should have text here that says that rollback will fail if there is a lock already held on the configuration
[18:34:26] <SharonChisholm> sue - if you are engaging in unsafe playground and things change underneath them, are you going to warn them?
[18:34:32] <SharonChisholm> sue - error reports?
[18:34:45] <SharonChisholm> andy - probably not
[18:35:47] <SharonChisholm> sue - require indication in the software that there has been a problem or the simple approach that it is your fault
[18:36:03] <SharonChisholm> andy - I think the latter ... we would have to think about the text
[18:36:13] <SharonChisholm> sue - might make all the operators to go into locked mode.
[18:36:20] <SharonChisholm> andy - or administrative models
[18:37:12] <SharonChisholm> simon - i would suggest a minimum courtesy would be to invalidate those checkpoints so you at least get an error message when you try to roll back to these invalid points.
[18:37:40] <SharonChisholm> wes - it might be easier to solve some of the earlier problems if we make the ring buffer tied to the user. makes cleanup harder but has other bennefits
[18:37:57] <SharonChisholm> andy - we don't have it exposed in the protocol to identify users ... need to give some thought
[18:38:06] <SharonChisholm> andy - need to think about it on the list
[18:38:51] <SharonChisholm> eliot - going bask to sue's point, in the case when you don't use locking and the element is to detect that something bad as happened. there is nothing to prevent the ne from reporting, we are just not standardizing it.
[18:38:59] <SharonChisholm> <discard-checkpoint> operation
[18:39:15] <SharonChisholm> deletes a slot in the ring buffer or to nuke them all.
[18:39:34] <SharonChisholm> open issues
[18:40:04] <SharonChisholm> - want to make a per session parameter ... if people dont' have write, don't need them. some users get more?
[18:40:14] <SharonChisholm> - do we need to put that in the capabilities exchange
[18:40:25] <SharonChisholm> Rollback Decision Points
[18:40:35] <SharonChisholm> - Should we add this ferature
[18:40:42] <SharonChisholm> count - 10
[18:41:03] <SharonChisholm> object - 6
[18:41:06] <SharonChisholm> prety close
[18:41:21] <SharonChisholm> eliot - no consensus - leave it out
[18:41:46] <SharonChisholm> Randy - would suggest that more suggestion of this on the mailing list is appropriate . I think this proposal is more complicated than it needs to be to get the job done
[18:41:58] <SharonChisholm> randy - simple transaction <something> would be closer to the way humans work
[18:42:20] <SharonChisholm> andy - no you completed the transaction ... configured one side of link ... doing the other ... then need to roll back
[18:42:42] <SharonChisholm> randy - have not finihsed the overlal transaction ... need to look at how distributed transactions are done
[18:42:58] <SharonChisholm> randy - <detailed example>
[18:43:23] <SharonChisholm> andy - question was, should we do a rollback feature, not whether we needed this particular version
[18:43:35] <SharonChisholm> randy - my objection was to this proposal
[18:43:44] <SharonChisholm> andy - that was not the quetsion ...
[18:43:53] <SharonChisholm> randy - then i withdraw my objection
[18:44:11] <SharonChisholm> phil - we had a rollback feature ... we removed it because we could not remove it (previous ietfs)
[18:44:23] <SharonChisholm> steve - we couldn't agree because of named configurations
[18:44:32] <SharonChisholm> andy - this isn't named configurations
[18:44:45] <SharonChisholm> andy - we had thrown it out, but it got raised again
[18:45:06] <SharonChisholm> wes - is there a difference between a URL command and a copy command ...
[18:45:17] <SharonChisholm> andy - this gets around the fact we don't have named configurations
[18:45:56] <SharonChisholm> andy - a named configuration should in theory be applied to any operaiton .. that was contensious(sp)
[18:46:22] <SharonChisholm> q - one possible approach to resolve all this would be to keep the interaction with the box really simple ... and assume everything else is done outside of the box.
[18:46:49] <SharonChisholm> q - this could all become complex ... small boxes ...
[18:46:56] <SharonChisholm> andy - that is why this is all optional...
[18:47:36] <SharonChisholm> q - confused by randy's comments ... think these are two different types of rollback
[18:48:43] <SharonChisholm> john - locks and rollbacks is one way of doijng the rollback model that randy is talking about ... the simpler approach would be to have a transaction approach without having the ability to do more complicated things ,... thinking the locking model is more superior in may ways ...
[18:48:51] <SharonChisholm> <I think I got that wrong>
[18:49:06] <SharonChisholm> andy - I agree, I put out an email in march ... to do more implicit locking.
[18:49:19] <SharonChisholm> andy - died on the vine
[18:49:42] <SharonChisholm> john - maybe we should be looking at that model more careful. maybe when you wrote it up, we didn't understand the issues
[18:50:01] <SharonChisholm> randy - granularity of locking mechanism will become invisible ... that would be good
[18:50:41] <SharonChisholm> andy - sounds like it should go back to the list for more discussion ... not necessarily dead
[18:50:51] <SharonChisholm> andy - want to get to working group last call soon .. running out of time
[18:50:55] <SharonChisholm> ----
[18:51:01] <SharonChisholm> Default Operation
[18:51:20] <SharonChisholm> current draft does not properly support scoped edit-config operations
[18:51:43] <SharonChisholm> ... merge is the default ...
[18:51:55] <SharonChisholm> default operation can't always be merge
[18:52:07] <SharonChisholm> - modify a node in the data model without touching any of its ancestors
[18:52:40] <SharonChisholm> default opeation is sometimes 'none'
[18:52:59] <SharonChisholm> - tells the agent that I better find an exact match or this opeartion should fail
[18:53:10] <SharonChisholm> default operation is sometimes 'replace'
[18:53:30] <SharonChisholm> - useful for loading previously saved configuration data as an opaque XML block
[18:54:04] <SharonChisholm> decision points
[18:54:20] <SharonChisholm> wes - different ideas .. have a parameter without a default
[18:54:42] <SharonChisholm> andy - no that doesn't work .. if I just say at the top level that I just want to do a replace .. then the agent doesn't know where I want to start doing the replace
[18:55:20] <SharonChisholm> wes - exactly ... I'm not saying to take that out. I want to take out the defaultOp is mandatory
[18:56:05] <SharonChisholm> wes - sometimes defaults make perfect sense ... if I accidently type in a file name on a command line, I hope the default operation isn't remove. We may not want a defauilt value for an operation
[18:56:36] <SharonChisholm> andy - high level question .... should we solve this this ... concensus ....
[18:56:43] <SharonChisholm> concensus to fix it that is
[18:57:11] <SharonChisholm> phil - insted of calling it defaultOp .. why not call it operation and default to merge
[18:57:20] <SharonChisholm> wes - my proposal is to call it operation and not have a default
[18:57:35] <SharonChisholm> andy - don't care what it is called.
[18:57:53] <SharonChisholm> sue - just for clarification ... you could have multiple of these?
[18:58:01] <SharonChisholm> andy - no ... there is just one in the edit config command
[18:58:42] <SharonChisholm> andy - the processing model is that you are starting from the top level mode and you are applying an operation as you go down. there could be an operation in there that overrides the operation that is at the very top which is merge
[18:58:58] <SharonChisholm> andy - how do we deal with the fact that there is this overriding operation at the top level?
[18:59:49] <SharonChisholm> andy - change the name to opeartion ... adding that parameter ... show of hands ... about 10
[18:59:54] <SharonChisholm> objections? 0
[19:00:10] <SharonChisholm> andy - so we will add it and call it operations
[19:00:12] <SharonChisholm> ---

[19:03:08] <Eliot Lear> Andy would like more consistency between drafts as far as document section
[19:03:26] <Eliot Lear> Andy:
[19:03:27] <ray_atarashi> h
[19:03:53] <Eliot Lear> NETCONF over SOAP is HTTP-centric. separate SOAP generic and SOAP/HTTP
[19:04:57] <Eliot Lear> Andy; app developers want a SOAP header
[19:05:27] <Eliot Lear> (???) the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
[19:05:54] <Eliot Lear> Sharon: can we merge these choices to two?
[19:06:04] <Eliot Lear> - SSH
[19:06:16] <Eliot Lear> - and something else
[19:07:42] <Eliot Lear> sharon: you'd like neither HTTP or BEEP to show up in the SOAP doc..
[19:08:19] <Eliot Lear> Andy: {long tirade over why NETCONF/HTTP sucks rocks}
[19:08:35] <Eliot Lear> Andy: but Ted isn't here now, so it's hard to go farther
[19:10:08] <SharonChisholm> q - <discussion liaison from W3C> I agree that idealling it should work ... there is a documetn that describes how netconf works over soap .. there is a document for soap over beep ... there might be interoperability considerations .. idealing that should be all
[19:10:15] <SharonChisholm> andy - simon says we use soap 1.1
[19:10:33] <SharonChisholm> eliot - someone just told me there is soap over jabber
[19:10:58] <SharonChisholm> eliot - now let us look at the compatility matrix .... <too scarey to put in writing>
[19:11:14] <SharonChisholm> eliot - it is a long list of protocols
[19:11:30] <SharonChisholm> andy - isn't that the case for all soap things
[19:11:49] <SharonChisholm> eliot - people who need to do the coding .... you have just exploded the complexity
[19:12:06] <SharonChisholm> andy - netconf over soap is optional. netconf over ssh is mandatory
[19:12:13] <SharonChisholm> andy - that reduces the complexity
[19:12:32] <SharonChisholm> q - you have said soap, but your second bullet is talking about soap over beep.
[19:12:39] <SharonChisholm> andy - we have run into issues ... it matters
[19:12:45] <SharonChisholm> q - why are we removing http?
[19:12:55] <SharonChisholm> andy - not. just need to separate the text.
[19:13:09] <SharonChisholm> andy - ideally these would not be in this document
[19:13:24] <SharonChisholm> randy - is there any plan to do a formal liaison to w3c
[19:13:29] <SharonChisholm> andy - no, but there will be
[19:13:43] <SharonChisholm> andy - will there be a volunteer>
[19:13:51] <SharonChisholm> brian - also want to talk to oasis
[19:14:12] <SharonChisholm> q - would be glad to get this stuff. especially if it deals with soap (the w3c guy)
[19:14:26] <SharonChisholm> andy - sounds like an issue that we need to resolve to soap 1.2
[19:14:33] <becarpenter> NETCONF over SSH|BEEP|(SOAP over HTTP|BEEP)

|Purifying and analyzing Morpholinos by HPLC and detecting Morpholinos in biological samples
HPLC purifications are most effective when Morpholinos are conjugated to a relatively big molecule, such as a peptide (say ca. 200 Daltons or larger), or are conjugated with a net-charged moiety and then the conjugate is purified to remove unreacted oligo. If you are adding a relatively small reactive group and subsequently adding the large molecule, it is probably best to do both additions prior to the purification; that way it is easier to separate the unreacted Morpholino and the activated Morpholino from the conjugate of the Morpholino with the large molecule.

|Negative control Morpholino oligos
Gene Tools offers several negative controls that are offered at reduced prices or we can synthesize custom oligos to use as negative controls. I suggest, at least initially, using the standard control oligo.

I use my blog to keep track of Morpholino information that might be useful to me; that can make it tough to find the more broadly useful posts. Here's a linked list of posts I think might be useful to others.

|Targeting non-coding RNAs: strategies and what we need to design an oligo
Morpholinos have been used to alter activity of non-coding RNAs. A citation list is here:
Targeting non-coding RNAs presents special problems. Ideally, we need to know where on the non-coding RNA an activity is located that we can block. You will need to tell us where you want the oligo targeted and we'll try to find the best oligo sequence targeting that location.

|Off-target Morpholino interaction reported based on mutant and 6ng dose
A prp1 Morpholino injected into zebrafish with mutated prp1 caused significant phenotype at a dose of 6 ng/embryo but had little effect at lower doses (see Supplemental Figure S13). This is a case where the Morpholino-in-mutant experiment not only detected an off-target interaction of the Morpholino but defined a dose where the effect suddenly became strong. Doses of prp1 Morpholino below that threshold produced phenotype at roughly the rate of the standard control oligo injections.

subset: commoncrawl

The answer to this question isn't as simple as you might think. In fact, there is no one correct answer. It all depends on how you want to use the word.
Checkout this video:
'Website' – one word or two?
The word 'website' is actually a compound word, made up of the two words 'web' and 'site'. However, over time, the compound word has become accepted as a single word, and is now often used without a space between the two words.
The history of the word 'website'
The word "website" is a compound word, made up of the words "web" and "site." The word "web" refers to the World Wide Web, while a "site" is a location on the web that contains a collection of information or resources.
How is the word 'website' used today?
In recent years, the word "website" has become increasingly common in everyday speech. But is it one word or two?
The answer, it seems, is that it depends on who you ask. The Oxford English Dictionary, for one, lists "website" as one word. Merriam-Webster, on the other hand, says it can be either one word or two ("web site" or "website").
The usage of "website" as a single word seems to be more common in American English, while "web site" is more common in British English. In either case, though, both forms are widely used and understood.
The difference between a 'website' and a 'web page'
People often use the terms "website" and "web page" interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two. A website is a collection of related web pages, while a web page is a single page that forms part of a website.
A website can be thought of as a book, where each web page is a chapter. A web page, on the other hand, is more like a single page in a book. Although you can read individual pages out of context, they're usually best understood when viewed as part of the whole.
The main difference between a website and a web page is that a website is made up of multiple pages that are all linked together, while a web page is just one standalone page.
The plural of 'website'
The plural of 'website' is 'websites'.
What is a 'domain name'?
A domain name is the web address where people can find your website. It's what comes after the "www" in a web address. For example, Google's domain name is "google.com."
Most domain names are two words put together, like "google.com" or "wikipedia.org." Sometimes people use hyphens to connect the words, like "my-website.com." You can also use just one word for your domain name, like "blogspot.com" or "tumblr.com."
What is a 'URL'?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and is often pronounced like the word "earl." A URL is the address of a specific web page or file on the Internet. For example, the URL of this very page is https://www.howtogeek.com/132470/what-is-a-url/. URLs usually include the protocol identifier (https:// in this case) as well as the domain name or IP address (in this case, www.howtogeek.com).
What is 'HTML'?
HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, it forms a triad of technologies that are used to produce websites.
How do I create a website?
How do you spell "website"? Is it one word or two?
The answer depends on who you ask. If you ask a group of English teachers, you'll probably get a variety of answers. Some will say it should be one word, while others will say it can be spelled either way.
The truth is that the answer isn't entirely clear. The term "website" is relatively new, and it hasn't been added to most dictionaries yet. That means there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to spelling it.
So, how should you spell it? The best advice is to spell it however you want. If you spell it as one word, most people will understand what you mean. And if you spell it as two words, that's fine too. Just be consistent with whichever spelling you choose.
Do I need to trademark my website name?
When it comes to trademark law, the answer is not always clear. Whether or not you can trademark your website name depends on a number of factors, including how distinctive your name is and how it is being used.
If you are using your website name in a way that is truly unique and distinctive, it is more likely that you will be able to successfully trademark it. On the other hand, if your website name is merely descriptive or generic, it is less likely that you will be able to trademark it.
If you are unsure whether or not you can trademark your website name, you should consult with an experienced trademark attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of patent law.

Is Manifest new tonight on NBC? New season 3 episode 11 hopes
Is Manifest new tonight on NBC? Given where things are in season 3 right now, it absolutely makes sense to want more story!
The good news is that you are going to have chances to see all of that play out. The bad news, however, is that you'll be waiting for a while to see what's next. Because of a special episode of The Wall that is airing tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, Manifest season 3 episode 11 is airing on Thursday, June 3. Following that, there are two more episodes coming on June 10 that will close out the season. Will those be the final episodes of the series? There will be time to discuss that at some point, as Manifest remains one of the few shows on NBC that have not been either renewed or canceled.
For now, let's get to discussing the story for this next episode (entitled "Duty Free") — the synopsis below feels like a great jumping-off point:
The consequences of Ben's actions tests his marriage and sends Grace reeling. Michaela makes a difficult decision regarding Saanvi's secret. Cal, following his intuition, provides secret refuge to an outcast.
Based on the attached promo, seeing the aftermath of Ben's arrest is at the top of the things we're the most interested in at present. How could it not be? This is going to be such a pivotal, earth-shattering moment for the series and for Ben's future. That's without getting into Saanvi's testing or some of the other threads that have been set up here over the course of the season.
We know that Manifest can be dramatic and/or shocking, so we're certainly expecting all of these emotions over the remaining episodes this season! Also, we figure that there has to be another cliffhanger on the way — while we may get some answers on Flight 828 this season, it's hard to imagine we'll get all of them.
Related – Be sure to get some more news when it comes to Manifest right now
What do you want to see on Manifest season 3 coming up?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! After you do that, be sure to come back for all sorts of additional updates on the series. (Photo: NBC.)

Optimism and confidence
Pol Mur plays for one of the best university teams in the United States thanks to a sports scholarship.
Pol Mur Llorens always wanted to dedicate himself to football and to become a soocer professional. But he also wanted to study Sports Science and he soon realized that combining the two was not so easy. "I looked for several options in Spain, but everywhere it was too complicated. They told me that it had to be one thing or the other. That's why I started to think about the US, because there they gave me the opportunity to study and play football at the same time. "
Before going to the other side of the Atlantic, Pol developed his entire sports career at Marcet. "At the age of six my parents signed me up for the intensive courses at this academy, as it was famous for the quality of its training." From there, the now right winger started to play for several Marcet teams and ended up being part of the Professional Program. "There I saw how some of my colleagues, like Gerard Espinalt, took the path of the United States. Talking to them was really helpful yo face the whole process."
"some of my mates at marceT had taken the path to the us. talking to them was really helpful"
Pol is now at Oklahoma Wesleyan University (OKWU) thanks to an athletic scholarship. That is to say, an economic aid that he got because of his football level. "I had to make a video that collected my best plays and send it to the coaches of several American universities. Little by little they began to contact me for different projects. In the end I opted for Wesleyan because their soccer team has many ballots to win the title."
But what did Pol learn in Barcelona to win a sports scholarship? "Marcet has always focused on teaching how to dominate the games, playing the ball and treat it with affection. Apart from technique and tactics, in this academy I learned discipline, camaraderie and respect. And I couldface rivals like Barça, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla, Espanyol, Levante, Oviedo and Valladolid, in addition to other academies from all over the world ".
Upon his arrival in the US, what impressed Pol the most was the quality of the facilities. "Here everything is better than in Europe. The fields are perfect, even the natural grass. They are well watered, well cut … And the gyms are impressive and very well equipped. Everything has much more quality, especially from the conditional training ".
"Apart from sports, the first impression I had when I arrived is that everything is much bigger here," recalls the winger, also surprised by the cultural diversity of the host country. "Academically, the classes are impressive, the teachers are very close. Even more so if you practice a sport. They adapt your schedules, they help you a lot. The people are very friendly. I have met many people and very quickly."
Investing in soccer training from a very young age has been the key for Pol to win a scholarship and have concrete possibilities for personal and professional development in the US. And not just as a football player. "If for some reason football doesn't go well, I'd like to be a physical trainer here in the US. That's why I'm studying Sports Science. And I'm also contemplating the option of becoming a coach one day." The optimism and confidence that his words convey will surely help you on this path.

Female entrepreneurs in the USA can join a women's business network and receive necessary support and mentoring
Ladies Launch Club is a premium women's business network which offers support to women in business in the United States who are launching or expanding startups.
After joining this online and in-person organization, Ladies Launch Club members can secure exposure for their businesses, as well as gain direct access to relevant resources.
Introductions are also facilitated with like-minded women entrepreneurs who have the shared goal of becoming successful businesswomen.
This growing community of female entrepreneurs is the brainchild of founder and CEO Kathy McShane.
Previously, New Canaan-based Kathy founded Kendrew Group, Ltd which is an award-winning, multi-million dollar marketing services organization.
Kathy is also an adjunct professor at New York University, a motivational speaker and the founder of the 'Exceptional Women Series.'
'Successes often come about because women are able to detach their business from themselves, they are willing to accept that their idea needs to be refined, they embrace the relationships that they make in the workshops and are willing to take some calculated risks.'- Kathy McShane- Founder and CEO, Ladies Launch Club.
Here Kathy tells Nativa World about her business and she explains how she has become a go-to authority for female entrepreneurs who are serious about launching or expanding their businesses….
Kathy, what does the word 'Achieve' mean to you?
It means moving ahead and accomplishing things that I thought were outside of my comfort zone whilst having some fun at the same time. It means enjoying a feeling of exhilaration, knowing that I moved forward, almost like winking at myself.
How did Ladies Launch Club come to life?
Ladies Launch Club was born out of my passion to help women achieve their dream of starting and running a business. I had been in the corporate world for many years and always mentored women. I started a marketing company in the late 1980's so I could have more flexibility to be with my son.
The company was a great success, and I needed to hire people. I hired women who wanted to and had to work, but they also wanted a balance in their lives. So I offered them a job-sharing situation. I was told that my clients (HBO, Showtime and JPMorgan Chase) might never allow it. Not only did they embrace it, but I got an award from Bill Gates for innovation in the workplace. Lesson here is to be willing to take some risks. Ladies Launch Club is my latest way to help women achieve their dreams.
What services does Ladies Launch Club provide?
I offer a number of programs that address where a woman is in her business life cycle. They include:
Incubator Program: This program is designed to help women articulate an idea that they have for a business. Often women come into this with an idea in mind that is foggy and unclear. After they have worked on the idea/concept for four weeks, they refine it — and some walk away from it. I was one of these women. I took this workshop with a business in mind and decided after the workshop not to start the business.
Mastermind Accountability Workshops: These help women who feel that they are losing their edge and creativity, and are feeling lonely. Being an entrepreneur can be very isolating and can lead to some bad habits. A lack of focus and not being accountable are examples. These women are interviewed to make sure that they are committed to growing both professionally and personally. They have to be aware that attaining goals is a direct result of being accountable.
Peer-to-Peer Advisory Group: This is a group of people who are similar in terms of sales, years in business and level of management. In these groups, we leverage the vast amount of experience that the participants bring to the group. It is very much boots-on-the-ground, which means we tackle meaty and important issues. The expectation of these groups is to develop out-of-the box ideas, determine how to work with small budgets and competition, and deal with issues as they come up.
Brown Bag Lunches: Six to eight women meet and introduce themselves. I ask them what the group can do to help them. It's almost like speed dating. We go around very quickly, and it's amazing the solutions that are uncovered.
Ladies Who Made History: This is a contest where women submit an essay saying why they should win $1,000. Four women are chosen and awarded the money the night of the gala.
Ongoing Networking Events: These are designed with four objectives in mind:
- To introduce women to a new venue (which is hosting us)
- To have an inspirational/motivational speaker talk about her journey — one who appears to have it all but has in fact met obstacles in her life
- For women to meet me
- To have women meet other women with whom they can do business.
Webinar Series: Each webinar series runs for one to four weeks. We meet via Zoom web conferencing, and there is an agenda that is followed. During the webinars, the participants submit questions for discussion. Recent webinar topics have included:
- How to Write a Book
- How to Market a Book
- DIY Marketing
- How to Get Paid Speaking Gigs
Promote the Platinum Members: As part of the paid membership program , the ladies get exposure on my website and in my social media, are featured in my newsletter and receive public relations opportunities.
How has your business changed since its inception?
I had to adapt to the changing needs of my clients. Many do not want to be part of a live group and prefer to "click" in to an online session. So these days, I do much more with the ladies remotely: more webinars, more telephone calls and more putting groups together to collaborate. Originally, I only worked in New York and Connecticut. But then people from California started to reach out and ask to work with me. The most efficient way to serve this market was through technology. With my local ladies, I try to attend one of their in-person meetings every month to add my expertise. But my West Coast clients do everything online.
What successes have you enjoyed?
I have one client who started a Mastermind Accountability Workshop with the idea of introducing a line of stuffed toys. It soon became clear that the idea she had was much bigger than just stuffed toys. After working with the team members, she developed the idea of creating a Mr. Rogers-type show where she was the star, created the music and developed the themes for each of the shows. She is now pitching the idea to various networks, and two have expressed interest in producing the show.
You have authored The Survivor's Guide for Female Entrepreneurs, how did you select your case studies and did you encounter any challenges during the authoring process?
I selected the entrepreneurial women based upon a few criteria: I wanted women who met my definition of a mentor, I wanted the topics to be things that women could immediately implement, and I wanted the topics to be immediately relevant to readers.
I had a few hurdles along the way during the authoring process. There are two that are most amazing to me (because I can't believe I did them). The first is I didn't line people up early on in the process to read the book and give me testimonials. I also struggled with the front cover of the book. I simply could not get a visual in my head. I finally got it and had to do a photo shoot. These two things cost me quite some time.
You teach 'competitive intelligence' at NYU, how does this factor into the services available at Ladies Launch Club?
Competitive intelligence (CI) is not only about your competitors but it's about gaining insight into opportunities and early warning signals. It's about looking at the entire landscape of your company and all the factors that ensure success. It's about minimizing risk and avoiding being blindsided. CI allows management to make intelligent decisions based upon the information that is uncovered.
One of my favorite examples of this is Blockbuster and Netflix. Blockbuster only looked at their direct competitors. Meanwhile, Netflix was a new entrant that basically put Blockbuster out of business.
I definitely believe that CI factors into my success, and I use this skill to work with my ladies. We can become complacent. We tend to do things the way we have always done them. We must be able and willing to re frame the world as it is changing. Keep track of your customers and be sure that you keep your eye on the ball for new, less expensive entrants coming into the market. What new technology will impact your business? My antenna is always up for these shifts.
Which Ladies Launch Club members are distinctive to you?
One woman who attended an Incubator Workshop had an idea for a line of skincare products that she wanted to distribute to retailers. The products were high end and have very effective ingredients. The woman was clear about what she wanted to be making in two years. After looking at the number of retailers who would be candidates, we realized that she would not be able to achieve her goals. The group recommended that she distribute through HSN in the United States. This summer (after eight months), she got a contract and is now selling her products on-air.
This shows that successes often come about because entrepreneurial women are able to detach their business from themselves, they are willing to accept that their idea needs to be refined, they embrace the relationships that they make in the workshops and are willing to take some calculated risks.
Which female entrepreneurs will shine in the United States this year?
I believe that the "riches are in the niches." Entrepreneurial women who will shine are going to pick a market segment and aggressively go after it. They will know that they can't be all things to all people. The successful women will think big; they will push themselves to get out of their comfort zone and really go for it. They will realize that they can't have it all. If they are committed to their business, they will have to strike a balance with their family life. This is okay, and they won't feel badly about it. They will have a clear vision and a plan to achieve it. They will know that success is not all about them. It's about the team that they have hired and their success. They will be careful to be themselves in the workplace; however, they will keep others' emotions at a distance.
I am inspired by a number of people, but one in particular is Linda McMahon, who was a professional wrestling magnate. Linda is notable for her career at WWE during which the company grew from a small regional business to a large multinational corporation. Today, she is a major supporter of a number of charities in the arts, education, families in need, hospital environments and the entrepreneurial space.
Unbeknown to most, when Linda was younger, she and her husband filed for bankruptcy. She had one child and one on the way at the time and they were receiving food stamps.
Linda also ran for United States Senate twice and lost and it was during her second run for Senate that I met her. What struck me about her was how unassuming she is. She is not ashamed to say that she has had some major setbacks in her life, or that she has made some pretty significant mistakes. However, it is clear from her success that she didn't let those setbacks hold her back. She is a woman who has achieved great things and is willing to share the fruits of her success with others and is always available to talk about new ideas. She is a woman of integrity and courage. And, her laugh is contagious!
What challenges do Millennial entrepreneurs face?
This is a mixed bag. Technology — and this group is really tech-savvy — allows for more flexibility and efficiency. Because they grew up with email and texting, they sometimes have difficulty staying on task. This will make it harder for them to be entrepreneurs. They are also not willing to sacrifice their work/life balance. As entrepreneurs, we are often lonely. This might impact them because they like to know that what they are doing is important, and they like working on teams.
What's your definition of a good mentor?
A mentor is someone who really cares about helping their mentee to succeed. It's a person who has achieved success and who is respected by others. Mentors have a great way of asking the right questions in order to get the other person to talk. I like my mentor to be candid with me, share with me the things that I am doing well and those that I need to improve. It's someone who I feel inspired and motivated by.
How do you maintain a work/life balance?
I believe that most entrepreneurial women have to work at this, especially if they have children. When my children were younger, this was something that I worked hard to achieve. I was sure to carve out time for school functions and to workout or take a vacation. It's much easier now that my children are grown; however, every now and then, I find myself at my desk long after I should be there.
What's next for you, Kathy?
I would very much like to be part of Richard Branson's Mentoring Program. I also would like to start a TV show. Almost like a mini Shark Tank that will be geared toward Millennials who are developing products/services in the technology space. Nothing would give me more pleasure than helping young entrepreneurs launch a business.

Investigating the planet-metallicity correlation for hot Jupiters
We investigate the giant planet-metallicity correlation for a homogeneous, unbiased set of 217 hot Jupiters taken from nearly 15 yr of wide-field ground-based surveys. We compare the host star metallicity to that of field stars using the Besançon Galaxy model, allowing for a metallicity measurement offset between the two sets. We find that hot Jupiters preferentially orbit metal-rich stars. However, we find the correlation consistent, though marginally weaker, for hot Jupiters (β =0.71^{+0.56}_{-0.34}) than it is for other longer period gas giant planets from radial velocity surveys. This suggests that the population of hot Jupiters probably formed in a similar process to other gas giant planets, and differ only in their migration histories.

Egyptian Core 7:
I am still amazed that ones who study ancient technology that they overlook the obvious. For example, in studying Egyptian Core 7 these people refer to ancient Egyptian religious text in an attempt to find the answers, but what has become normal accepted practice they ignore the Bible as a reference work. If those who study acient technology will use Egyptian, Babylon, Greece and other religious text why do they insist on ignoring the Bible as a reference? It tells me that they simply disregard the Bible as a book of myth, yet text of the Bible predate many ancient civilizations. Here is an interesting text:
"Also, Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who forged every sort of tool of copper and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah." Gen 4:22
The time this verse points to is over 7,000 years ago, yet in studying Egyptian Core 7 the focus is only on copper tools. Here's why they focus only on copper. It is accepted teaching that civilization developed technology in "ages", copper age, bronze age, iron age... This is taught and accepted to have happened on a worldwide basis. But that is narrow thinking, to believe that all groups of people in all parts of the world followed the exact same steps in development.
So suppose the Egyptians did have iron? That changes a lot. Suppose the drill to make Core 7 was made of iron and used a diamond grit bit. Also we know that in ancient Babylon they had produced electricity through the use of batteries, who is to say that the Egyptians did not also develop some sort of electricity? But where is the archeological evidence?
Given the nature of the Egyptian government, the Pharaoh was god, and their highly religious nature, some tools and technology feel under the supervision of the temple priest, so few would have been manufactured. So three possibilities exist,
1) The evidence is still buried under miles of sand.
2) Aa an iron tool they simply rusted away.
3) A conquering nation took the items & technology.
People grasp for an explanations, space visitors, gods from the heavens, time travel. But what if the answer was as simple as that they had developed greater forms of technology that we have as yet to uncover the evidence for? Today we have MASS production. We don't just make 1 Skill saw milions are made. But when cost of production is high and no assembly lines in super factories exist, then only a very few "Skill saws" would be made, perhaps only one. That being the case it would fall under the supervision of temple priest and the priestly class would be the skilled labor to use that tool. I see the biggest hurdle to understanding past technology is our current understanding of massly produced technology. Also a skilled tool and skilled laborer would give that person or class of persons power and control. Suppose you had the ability to take a TV/Blu-Ray player back to the year 300 BCE and you showed the movie "300" To the Greeks, you would hold untold power and control, perhaps enought to change the direction of Alexander.
Technology did NOT start out with sticks & stones with men coming out of caves with a big club dragging a woman by her hair. Technology started near the top and like an up and down seesaw has risen and fallen over the centuries.
More Snow Pictures
Please Stop The Snow
I got my March 2015 issue of Scientific American & started reading right away. On page 24 was a 1 page article entitled "Ode to the Messenger". It discussed the end of the Messenger mission to Mercury. In the article they mention "Weird Magnetic Field - In the 1970's Mariner 10's flyby revealed that Mercury has a magnetic field. Yet Messenger's observations showed that, strangely, the field is not centered inside the planet but instead is offset towars its north pole. Theorist have yet to explain what causes this asymmetry. "
I shared this with my son and we both thought it odd. A magnetic field is created when a solid metal core, such as Earth's nickle core, turns at a much faster rate than the molten area and the crust. This difference in spin creates a magnetic field. So as far as current thinking, in order to form a magnetic field the core must be centered and solid and round and a form or magnetized metal. Mercury does not have that setup. So my son put forth his theory, what if the core of Mercury was cylinder, a long cylinder metal "rod" or shaft that turns at a higher rate than the molten core. This would make sense with our current understanding of Mercury.
In the March 2015 issue of Scientific American is an article written by Kevin J. Tracey. I got about 1/3 way through with the article and had to stop. This man, Kevin, has a serious "I" problem. In fact the very first sentence is an omen to how the rest of the article will read, "I am a brain surgeon...I examine. " "In 1987 I published" He often mentions his "colleagues by referring to them as "we" (he includes himself with "we" although he also will use "I" in the same statement giving himself double credit). At no time does he mention any colleague by name, just that they assisted "I" in "me" in "my" discoveries. Later he says
"I became immediately concerned, though, that someone else must have already thought of this seemingly obvious biological mechanism. "
At that sentence I was really repulsed. This guy is not concerned at all with truly helping mankind. His entire focus is getting his name in print for a discovery that will put his peers to shame. This guy is so ego driven that it over clouds his research, or in reality the research of his staff that he puts his name on. I was very disappointed that Scientific American printed his article as is, it should have been edited, or rather his ego should have been edited out. Because of his above quoted statement I wondered if someone else had done or started the research would Kevin had stopped his? The way he stated what he did it appears that if anyone else had gotten into his research field he would have stopped so as not to share any credit for his findings. I have attempted to read other papers written by ones with similar personalities, but as with this one I could not see past his huge "I".
DeWayne Watts: I started out writing short stories and poetry. Some of which was published in the 1980's. I have parts of 5 novels written and have completed 2 novels. I have been married over 25 years and raised 2 wonderful sons who have been a great addition to the human family.

Bill O'Brien made it clear in an emotional speech that he felt he "had to do more" in the wake of George Floyd's murder. According to this excellent piece by John McClain, O'Brien's pledge to increase his activism in combating racial inequality will include taking a knee before Texans games this season.
"Yeah, I'll take a knee — I'm all for it," O'Brien said about players kneeling. "The players have a right to protest, a right to be heard and a right to be who they are. They're not taking a knee because they're against our flag. They're taking a knee because they haven't been treated equally in this country for over 400 years."
O'Brien wasn't done.
"I've always felt strongly about racial injustice because I was brought up that way," O'Brien said. "I believe very strongly that white people have to stand with black people in our country.
"Black lives matter. Police brutality is part of it, obviously, but this is so much deeper than that. There are 800,000 policemen and policewomen in this country, and so many of them are trying to do what's right for their community.
"It's like what was said at George Floyd's funeral: It's about humanity coming together and treating each other as equals."
Nor is the head coach of your Houston Texans the only member of management who's speaking up.
"When you think about how big the issue is, if we can help make a little change in Houston, maybe it'll be like a pebble in the pond that creates a ripple," said Cal McNair, the team chairman. "What happened to George Floyd brought to life something that's bigger than football, and you can't ignore it. We felt like we couldn't stay silent. We felt like we had to say and do something. We want to help make changes.
"This is the right thing to do, and I think our players recognize that. We want to support our players and our community. We're all in this boat together."
"We have to listen to our players and our community because they're hurting," Cal McNair said. "Listening is the key to learning, and learning is the key to change."
The chairman of the Texans took things a step further, encouraging citizens to vote to force change.
"Reverend Lawson had some profound things to say, including one thing in particular, that in order for real change to happen, we have to vote and then hold our officials accountable," Cal McNair said. "If they don't do what we want them to do, we have to vote for someone else.
"It's our responsibility to do that, and that's how real change is going to happen, so vote and help make a difference."
Cal McNair's vocal participation on the subject is particularly noteworthy, given some of the gaffes made by ownership in the past. I don't say that to insult the memory of Bob McNair; it would be wrong to imply the elder McNair, who undoubtedly gave back to the community in many positive ways (including but not limited to paying for the funerals of the victims of the Mother Emanuel Church shooting), was some sort of irredeemable villain. It's simply refreshing to see the people who comprise the highest level of leadership at NRG Park making such a public commitment to lead in Houston and beyond.

Probably the most beloved and popular couples in Hollywood…Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson…broke our hearts when we found they both had tested positive for COVID-19.
Since then fans have been waiting to here new updates on their status. And up to this point Mr Hanks has been the one to provide those updates and later Tom reported on his Instagram confirming the symptoms they were having. But sounded like all in all…good news.
View this post on Instagram
Hey folks. Good News: One week after testing Positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: My wife @ritawilson has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and leads by 201 points. But I have learned not to spread my Vegemite so thick. I travelled here with a typewriter, one I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve. Hanx
But now his wife Rita has jumped into the mix with an awesome video post from her Instagram rapping to the song 'Hip Hop Hooray' by Naughty by Nature while quarantined at home.
Check out Rita's rapping skills below!

Fred Cornege from Seattle Lodge Stud tells us a little about how he came to import the stallion Jaguar into New Zealand.
Jaguar, the imposing 17.2hh black Belgium Warmblood stallion born in 1981 was the first Warmblood stallion that Fred Cornege imported to New Zealand. He spotted him at Uli Klatte's Belcam Stud in Queensland, Australia whilst visiting a friend from the Manawatu who was working at the stud at the time.
Fred, who was (and still is) known in New Zealand horse circles for not only his keen eye for a horse, but also his shrewd business acumen, spotted not only a Warmblood stallion, but a business opportunity as well. He made an arrangement with Uli Klatte to lease the stallion for three years with a right to purchase which was eventually taken up. At that time in New Zealand the influential Hanoverian sire Witzbold had passed away, and there was a lack of depth in stallion breeding here at the time.
Jaguar had an interesting pedigree – he was on Belgium Warmblood papers but was actually a Selle Francias / Irish Sport Horse cross. Fred reports that New Zealand breeders "went crazy over him in the early 1990's", however the New Zealand mare pool at the time was nowhere near the quality that we see today.
Although on paper you would think Jaguar would have left a succession of jumping horses – Fred by his own admission said the horse would "jump a bus if you pointed him at it" but did not have a tonne of technique – it was really only Robert Steele's Gospel that made major headlines. However, somewhat surprisingly, Jaguar left a huge legacy in the dressage arena. The list of Grand Prix horses this sire left in New Zealand included Julius , Jahnus, Jeneiro whom Kallista Field took to the World Equestrian Games in Rome and Jamahl whom Kallista rode at the WEG in Jerez, Spain in 2002. There were also successful eventers and show horses too.
Fred stepped up his foray into warmblood breeding with the importation of the classy stallion Voltaire II and so ended his tenure with Jaguar – who saw out his days in Napier with breeder Nick White.

To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Stearns family emigrate to North America:
