Harold George Belafonte, Jr. (born March 1, 1927 in Harlem, New York, United States) is a Jamaican-American musician, actor and social activist. One of the most successful American musicians in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style. Throughout his career, he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes. In recent years (as of 2006), he has been a vocal critic of the policies of the Bush administration.
Youth and early career
From 1935 to 1939, he lived with his mother in the village of Aboukir in her native country of Jamaica. When he returned to New York he attended George Washington High School after which he joined the Navy and served during World War II. At the end of the 1940s, he took classes in acting and subsequently received a Tony Award for his participation in John Murray Anderson's Almanac. He starred in several films during the 1950s. These include the all black cast Carmen Jones and the then controversial, Island in the Sun, for which he wrote and sang the title song.
Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song," with its signature lyric "Day-O".
Belafonte received a contract with RCA Victor and his breakthrough album Calypso (1956) was the first LP to sell over 1 million copies (Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Tennessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons, both singles, had previously surpassed the 1 million mark). The album is number four on Billboard's "Top 100 Album" list for having spent 31 weeks at number 1, 58 weeks in the top ten, and 99 weeks on the US charts. While primarily known for his Calypso songs, Belafonte has recorded in many genres, including blues, folk, gospel, show tunes, and American standards.
Belafonte continued to record for RCA through the 1950s to the 1970s. Two live albums, both recorded at Carnegie Hall, enjoyed critical and commercial success. His output in the 1970s slowed, and he released only one studio album in the 1980s, coinciding with a stronger focus on politics and activism. In the late 1990s he released a live album and DVD. The Long Road to Freedom, An Anthology of Black Music, a huge multi-artist project recorded during the 1960s and 1970s, was finally released in 2001.
Belafonte was the first man of color to win an Emmy, with his first solo TV special Tonight with Belafonte (1959). He was also a guest star on a memorable episode of The Muppet Show in 1978, in which he sang his signature song "Day-O" on television for the very first time. However, the episode is best known for Belafonte singing the spiritual song, "Turn the World Around," that is performed with muppets designed like African tribal masks. It has become one of the most famous performances in the series.
He won a Grammy Award in 2000 for lifetime achievement, and was named one of nine 2006 Impact Award recipients by AARP The Magazine.
Political and humanitarian activism
Belafonte was an early supporter of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and one of Martin Luther King's confidants.
In 1968, Belafonte appeared on a Petula Clark primetime television special on NBC. In the middle of a song, Clark smiled and briefly touched Belafonte's arm, which made the show's sponsor, Plymouth Motors, nervous. Plymouth wanted to cut out the segment, but Clark, who had ownership of the special, told NBC that the performance would be shown intact or she would not allow the special to be aired. American newspapers published articles reporting the controversy and, when the special aired, it grabbed high viewing figures. Clark's gesture marked the first time in which two people of different races made friendly bodily contact on US television.
Belafonte appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and performed a controversial "Mardi Gras" number with footage intercut from the 1968 Democratic National Convention riots.
In 1985, he was one of the organizers behind the Grammy Award winning song "We Are The World," a multi-artist effort to raise funds for Africa, and performed in the Live Aid concert that same year.
In 1987, he received an appointment to UNICEF as a goodwill ambassador. In 2002, Africare awarded him the Bishop John T. Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award for his efforts to assist Africa.
Belafonte has been involved in prostate cancer advocacy since 1996, when he was diagnosed and successfully treated for the disease.[1]
In 2006, on June 27, Belafonte was the recipient of the BET Humanitarian Award at the 2006 BET Awards
Controversial political statements
Belafonte began making controversial political statements in the early 1980s. He has, at various times, made statements praising Soviet peace initiatives, attacking the U.S. invasion of Grenada, praising the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, honoring Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and praising Fidel Castro.[2]
Belafonte only achieved widespread attention for his political views, however, in 2002, when he began making a series of comments about President George W. Bush, catalyzed by Belafonte's disapproval of the Iraq War.
During an interview with Ted Leitner for San Diego's 760 KFMB, in October 2002, Belafonte referenced a quote made by the American civil rights era icon Malcolm X [3]:
Belafonte used the quote to characterize both former and current United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, both African-Americans, as "house slaves" for serving in Bush's cabinet, which he implied was racist, and for their refusal to stand against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was implying that, by going along with Bush's plans, the two were only serving the cause of their "master". He repeated the charge on an interview on Larry King Live. Powell and Rice both responded, with Powell calling the remarks "unfortunate" [13] and Rice saying "I don't need Harry Belafonte to tell me what it means to be black." [14] The comment was brought back up in an interview with Amy Goodman for Democracy Now! in 2006. [4]
In August 2005, Belafonte made a similar analogy by saying "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich."[5]
In January of 2006, Belafonte led a delegation of activists including actor Danny Glover and activist/professor Cornel West which met with President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez. Belafonte was quoted as saying, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people... support your revolution."[6]
The comment ignited a great deal of controversy. Hillary Clinton refused to acknowledge his presence at an awards ceremony that featured both of them.[7] AARP, which had just named him one of their 10 Impact Award honorees 2006, released a statement following the remarks, saying, "AARP does not condone the manner and tone which he has chosen and finds his comments completely unacceptable."[8]
On a Martin Luther King Day speech at Duke University in 2006, Belafonte claimed he found no difference between the American government and the hijackers of 9/11, saying, "What is the difference between that terrorist and other terrorists?"[9]
In January 2006, in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference, Belafonte said, "We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended."[10]
He recently signed a public statement comparing George W. Bush to Hitler and calling for his "regime" to be driven from power.[11]
His daughter, Shari Belafonte, is a photographer, model and actress.
His older daughter, Adrienne Biesemeyer, is an accomplished psychologist and former professor at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia.

Roger Goodell defends Ray Rice's two-game suspension
Lorenzo Reyes, USA TODAY
August 1, 2014
For the first time since the NFL announced a two-game suspension for Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the ban and said it was "consistent with other cases."
"Our policy is clear on this case," Goodell told reporters Friday in Canton, Ohio, as part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame festivities. "We have a very firm policy on domestic violence and it is not acceptable in the NFL. He obviously went through the process of evaluating the issue. You look at all of that to determine how that individual is reacting to it. I think what's important here is that Ray is being accountable for it. He recognizes he made a horrible mistake and he knows what he did is unacceptable by his standards and by our standards.
"I was also very impressed with Ray in the sense that Ray is not only accepting this issue but he's saying, 'I was wrong.' I want to see people, when they make a mistake, I want to see them take responsibility and be accountable for it."
Rice received the suspension and will lose three game checks for a February incident at an Atlantic City hotel in which he was charged with aggravated assault against his then-fiancée. Security cameras caught Rice pulling an apparently unconscious Janay Rice (nee Palmer) out of an elevator.
The couple has since married. Rice avoided a trial by entering a pre-trial diversion program in May.
Reaction to news of the suspension, announced July 24, has been mostly negative.
Goodell said Rice's previous history was taken into account when determining the length of the discipline.
"Ray Rice did not have another incident," Goodell said. "There were other cases, and we take them into account. We have to remain consistent. We can't just make up the discipline. It has to be consistent with other cases and it was consistent with other cases.
"In this case, there was no discipline by the criminal justice system, he was put into a diversionary program."
Much of the criticism hurled at the NFL has centered on the apparent discrepancy between suspensions that result from violations of the league's drug policy, versus those incurred through the code of personal conduct.
"When we have a drug program that is collectively bargained, it takes four incidents before you actually reach a suspension," Goodell said.
Though he held a press conference in May, Rice faced questions about the incident for the first time Thursday at Ravens training camp and showed contrition, saying he "made the biggest mistake" of his life.
The Ravens coaching staff and front office has expressed support for Rice throughout the process. Rice is allowed to practice with the team during training and play in the preseason.
"We're very confident that this young man understands what he did and will move forward," Goodell said.
Can't just make up discipline eh Rog? Any other bs you want to send our way while you're at it?
Earn Some Bitcoins
I am paying for my honeymoon using bitcoins.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."We can't just make up the discipline."
Considering how inconsistent and all over the map Rog has been with his other disciplinary actions, then, yes, Rice's suspension is technically consistent...
Rice was caught on tape so its being treated like its the first time its ever happened to an NFL player.
I'm pretty sure domestic violence and assaults on women have been going on for a long time.
JH slapped his baby mother and how many games did we demand? How upset were we and how long did it last?

11/6 - Sprouting from the Ashes - Robin Bellows, ESPM Graduate Student, Masters of Forestry
"Last summer, working at Blodgett was an opportunity to get my boots in the mud and put classroom concepts to practice, from timber management to resilience ecology. In class, I studied how stands of trees change over time; at Blodgett, I thinned young trees to manipulate the growth progression of the forest. I read about fire ecology in class, and at Blodgett I measured sapling survival after a burn. After hefting a pack full of frothy purple herbicide up a hill, I learned to respect its power in beating back thorns that would have taken hours of scratches to uproot by hand. I felled a tree and thought, "what responsibility do I have to reshape this landscape?"

SwiXml 2.3 (#230) released.
SwiXml 2.2 (#220) released.
SwiXml source control moved from SVN Java.net to GIT (github)
SwiXml 1.6 (Beta 1)
The first distribution of what will eventually become Swixml 1.6 has just been made available on the Swixml.org Website and also put into the SubVersion repository on Java.net.
Thanks to Karl Tauber of JFormDesigner, Swixml now supports the JGoodie FormLayout.
Of course, a few small bugs have been fixed along the way as well and a couple improvements have found its way into the codebase. Moreover, if you develop layouts, using the new FormLayout support, please send me your java-code, xml-descriptor and also a screenshot. I would love to include them into the sample code section and also put them on the Swixml page to make more samples available for users who just start with Swixml.
SwiXml is used in GlassFish's openInstaller Framework
GlassFish is the open source community based implementation of Java EE 5. GlassFish has a few tools projects, one of which is openInstaller.
openInstaller is an open source community project building a free and comprehensive next generation installer framework. While the initial development of openInstaller was done by Sun Microsystems, it is now available under the open source Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).
The openInstaller project provides the framework for developers to create cross platform installations; it is a part of the GlassFish community of projects, and now includes and uses SwiXml. James Falkner blogs a series of screenshots of openInstaller in action.
SwiXml 1.5 #149 has been released.
The new release is the last major build before 1.6 and already includes the long awaited XML-Schema Generator. While swixml.xsd is available at swixml.org, the included XSD Schema Generator allows for on the fly Schema generation, which can also include custom tags.
The new build also contains a feature to for wrapping client methods into AbstactActions, meaning Actions can now be defined as public void methods instead of inside Action members. More details about the new release can be found in the included documentation.

Eclipse v. NetBeans for rich client platforms
On XML.COM Rick Jelliffe reviews Eclipse and NetBeans for rich client development. He writes that in his opinion, "NetBeans has the edge if you need Swing or all the OpenSorce libraries which use Swing - the wonderful SwiXML, which lets you specify Swing interfaces in XML, and uses reflection and the JavaBeans conventions to be very small and very fast , and the Substance look and feel library being high on my list.

SwiXml covered at this year's JavaOne Conference.
SwiXml, among several other XUL Engines for Java will be discussed in the Desktop Track Session TS-7122 at this years JavaOne, June 27 - June 30 in San Francisco's Moscone Center.
"The session briefly surveys the declarative JFC/Swing technology markup landscape, including projects like JDNC, XUL, XUI, SwingML, and SwixML. We look at two markup languages in depth to better understand how they solve common problems like data binding, scripting, embedding, and deployment. A simple desktop application is used to test the mettle of both markup languages and to benchmark them against a hand-written JFC/Swing software client."
SwiXml used at Spitzer Science Center
The Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction (SPICE) software provides a Swixml-based tool that allows the user to interactively extract Spitzer Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) spectra.

About Spitzer:
The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003. During its 2.5-year mission, Spitzer will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns (1 micron is one-millionth of a meter). Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
Masukomi.Org offers SwiXml training sessions.
Masukomi.Org, one of the most knowledgable SwiXml developers and supporters we know of, offers on site 2-5 days training sessions.
SwiXml 1.1 distribution has been downloaded over 1,000 times in the last 20 days.
Rick Jelliffe , CTO of Topologi, We only use SwiXML currently for for the frames and menus. Previously we used Visual Age Visual Builder for these. I liked using Visual Age (which has now migrated to Eclipse in some form) but it generated terribly verbose code all into a single file. By moving to SwiXML, we have
* reduced our source code size by 500K (unbelievable, but that is Visual Age!)
* improved maintainability
* seemingly improved our start-up time, though we have other
changes so I cannot measure it. "
SwiXml allows developers to rapidly generate graphical user interfaces by writing XML documents defining the layout and content of the interfaces.
SwiXml is an efficient java library, capable of instantiating javax.swing and custom objects at runtime. However, all dynamic and data-depending objects, like event handlers, data models, etc, have to be coded in Java.
SwiXml is available under an Apache-style open source license. This license is among the least restrictive license available, enabling developers to use SwiXml in creating new products without requiring them to release their own products as open source.
Read the complete license here.
Mac OS X support:
Much work went into supporting Mac OS X. When running on a Mac, SwiXml renders a Java Swing GUI with a look & feel very close to native Mac applications.
The Mac OS X specific support is entirely encapsulated, freeing the developer from writing platform specific Java code. Read the details...
Read here, what some developers and users are saying about SwiXml.
Sample Code:
Look at the Java source and XML descriptors to learn how to add event handlers or how to roll your own tags ...
See the big picture:
The diagram shows how some of the important SwiXml classes relate to each other.
and Applets
Read here, how to use SwiXml to generate the GUI for an Applet, which loads the XML descriptor at runtime from the applet hosting server.
Version Control: Git at Swixml's GitHub site:
We provide the Swixml source code for anyone who wants it. In general, source code is intended for developers or users who wish to get more involved with the project.
The SwiXml software consists of voluntary contributions made by many individuals on behalf of the Swixml Project led by Wolf Paulus. However, SwiXml wouldn't be the same without the invaluable contributions by the following people:
- Aymie Knight
Aymie, Software Engineer with Cardiff Software, experimented with Thinlets, Xulux, etc. and was involved with Swixml from the very beginning. I guess it's save to say that today, there is no one who has written more XML descriptors for SwiXml.
- Frank Meißner
Frank, a software developer over in Germany, helped writing the parser to support dynamic parameter typing (initclass) and always reminded us when we weren't thorough with the exception handling.
- Kay C. Rhodes
Kay continually serves as an advisor to the project, keeping us on the road to Java and XML usability.

It takes different people different amounts of time to do the identical task.
Once you know you how long it takes you to do something, you may decide it's a better use of the world's resources to have someone else do a certain task. A "do-it-all-yourself" mentality can be a big time trap.
Beth, a working, single mother, had this mentality. For eight months, her garbage disposal hadn't been working. For that entire time, she'd had the manual sitting out on the kitchen counter. She couldn't believe she was so lazy as to have put off a ten-minute job for eight months. I asked her, "How long will it take to fix the garbage disposal?"
Beth said, "Ten minutes, I guess. I think it just needs an adjustment." But she didn't know how to do it and would have to read the manual and learn the procedure.
I asked, "How long will that take? That's part of the calculation."
"Reading the manual shouldn't take more than half an hour."
I asked, "How long will it take to gather the tools you need for the job?" She didn't own the tools. She'd have to go to the hardware store and buy them. She'd also have to troubleshoot and clean up.
It wasn't a ten-minute project! That was why the manual had been sitting on the kitchen counter for eight months. I said, "You have to schedule two or three hours for this project."
Beth further considered that if things didn't go right, the project might take even longer. She decided that it wasn't worth it to her to do it herself. She made a barter deal with her brother-in-law. He was an experienced do-it-yourselfer; he had the knowledge and the tools ready. For him, it was actually was a 10-minute job. Beth reciprocated by setting set up AOL on his computer, a 10-minute job for her that would have taken him hours.
* * *
Gary was a stockbroker with his own business. He decided to create a brochure to attract new customers. He had never done any desktop publishing and had no design training. He had to shop for the right software, install it, and learn to use it. Once he got started, he spent hours experimenting with different fonts, different colors, and different layouts. He spent an afternoon just trying to get it to print properly. This became a huge two-week project. During this time, his main business was on the back burner. The brochure he ended up creating wasn't so hot, either, since he was obviously an amateur.
I asked, "What is your goal here? Are you trying to save money? If so, did you want to spend two weeks saving that money? Or are you interested in expanding your computer skills? If that's it, is this the best way for you to improve your skills? This is a brochure intended to represent your business to prospects. This isn't the place for practice efforts."
Gary realized that creating his own brochure hadn't been a great savings after all, since he had lost so many billable hours. He decided to hire a professional. The graphic designer could knock off the same job in an hour or two.
Remember, it takes different people different amounts of time to do the identical task. Before you invest a lot of time on a project, make sure you're the best person for the job.

Planning to start again…
How often in life do you get to plan a fresh start, with the knowledge of what lies ahead? In less than I week my husband will have his weight loss surgery. He will start his journey with is VSG. And he has the benefit of living with me and sharing my knowledge. While I'm excited to share my knowledge with him, I'm meeting resistance!!! WHAT? yep! I am! REALLY!
The man went to his pre-surgical meeting at the doctor's office. He met with the surgeon's team, the surgeon and their nutritionist. Now, I have to tell you, I love our surgeon. I do. I love the office and the support there. BUT… I do not agree with certain things that they teach. For instance… two flinstones vitamins a day? Really. Somebody please tell me how a child's vitamin in a 400lb male body is sufficient? Now break it down to a post WLS body and tell me how it even begins to match up to what is needed. It doesn't. Its dangerous information. While I won't pick apart every single aspect of what I disagree with, I will say that I have lived this life, done the research, met the experts and pride myself on the knowledge that I have. BUT… this man has gone to ONE meeting and is telling ME how things have to be.
I should sit back and not argue. I should let him take the lead in his own weight loss journey. I should let him find his own way. Right? Or… should I step in and beg him to listen?
I'm honestly a little befuddled. I don't want to come across as strong arming the boy. I don't want to come across as knowing better… but uh, I KNOW BETTER. Hello! I've struggled, I've lived it.. I am living it. YOU have MET my people! This man has been talked to about nutrition, about post WLS life, about just about everything… in a manner that has been casual and not about him. So why can't he apply what he already knows to be true to his own life? UGH! I'm frustrated! I'm going to sick some of my folks on him!
So, ladies and gents….. your advice? Do I approach this as if I were approaching one of you? Do I tell him what I know to be true and tell him what I know is bad advice and what has been helpful? Do I STFU and let my friends do it? Or do I just let him fumble his way through the first few post op months on his own? (I wish I knew then what I knew now. He has the chance to have better knowledge than I did. Better insight. I wish I had a first hand perspective back then. I wish I knew.)

Is it possible to talk to his doc? Ask him what his reasoning is? Did they give you the same instructions?
I know that I can tell my husband about something, but then if he hears it from someone ELSE down the line, it's like he's heard it for the first time from them. hel-LO??
So I don't know if that's how your husband is. Kind of 'in one ear and out the other' kind of thing when it comes to you telling him. I would just see if you could chat with the doc, or his nurse, or someone on the team…
If he's like my husband, he will resist everything you say and only listen to his doctors and other medical personnel. I would pick your battles. Just make sure he doesn't do anything dangerous, like not take good supplements. Otherwise, it's his journey and many people have done it differently than me and succeeded so I try to be mellow about it even when they are spouting nonsense.
As hard as it is for us to want to step in and correct the "knowledge" we have because we've been living this life and have learned a few things, sometimes we have to think of it in terms of how we would a child learning to walk! They're going to fall but it's how they learn to pay attention and get back up! I remember sitting in the nutrition seminar with DH and hearing all the WRONG information they were giving these people and wanting to scream NO!!! I spoke up a few times and the woman speaking was clearly annoyed but there are some things you just HAVE to speak up about! It is his journey and he'll do it a bit differently than you have and that's not a bad thing! There are things you will want to pick your battles with and some things like vitamins are worth the resistance you may get! I wanted SO badly to correct everything DH was or wasn't doing but there were and still are things I just need to let him figure out on his own! His experience is different than mine! I try to give him advise and guidance without telling him he HAS to do it a certain way! I'll ask him if he's gotten in all his fluids, protein and his vitamins and get onto him if he passes it off as not a big deal!
It may help him to hear it from one of your friends! Being that we're the wife, they tend to take it as nagging or trying to micromanage what they're doing and it can hurt the male ego and cause conflict! I don't think you'd sit back and let him fall so far his health is in jeopardy but there are a LOT of things you'll have to just let him figure out the hard way as much as you want to say something because you've been there and you KNOW…he's got to get it for himself!! He'll get to a place where "his way" isn't working the way he wanted it to or thought it would and he'll turn to you for guidance and help!
Treat him like your husband. This is his journey, let him lead it. He is a smart guy (he married you didn't he! ) he knows where to ask if he wants your opinions!

Video Tutorial:
Installing Zabbix (Server And Agent) On Debian Etch
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Wed, 2007-07-11 17:05. :: Debian | Monitoring
Installing Zabbix (Server And Agent) On Debian Etch
Version 1.0
Zabbix is a solution for monitoring applications, networks, and servers. With Zabbix, you can monitor multiple servers at a time, using a Zabbix server that comes with a web interface (that is used to configure Zabbix and holds the graphs of your systems) and Zabbix agents that are installed on the systems to be monitored. The Zabbix agents deliver the desired data to the Zabbix server. This tutorial shows how you can install the Zabbix server and agent on a Debian Etch system.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
I will use the system server1.example.com with the IP address 192.168.0.100 as the Zabbix server, and I'll install a Zabbix agent on the same system (so that it can monitor itself) as well as on a second Debian Etch system with the hostname server2.example.com and the IP address 192.168.0.101.
2 Install The Zabbix Server And Zabbix Agent On server1.example.com
The Zabbix server can store its information in a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. We use MySQL here, so we install the MySQL server and client first:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Create a password for the MySQL user root (replace yourrootsqlpassword with the password you want to use):
mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
Then check with
netstat -tap | grep mysql
on which addresses MySQL is listening. If the output looks like this:
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:mysql *:* LISTEN 2713/mysqld
which means MySQL is listening on localhost.localdomain only, then you're safe with the password you set before. But if the output looks like this:
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2713/mysqld
you should set a MySQL password for your hostname, too, because otherwise anybody can access your database and modify data:
mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
Afterwards, we can install the Zabbix server, Zabbix agent, and the Zabbix web interface with a single command:
apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent
You will be asked a few questions:
Configure database for zabbix-server-mysql with dbconfig-common? <-- Yes
This should create a MySQL database called zabbix as well as the MySQL user zabbix (with the password you provided).
Next we must edit the Zabbix agent configuration in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf. Replace Server=localhost with Server=127.0.0.1 (to avoid lookup problems of localhost) and specify the hostname of the current system in the Hostname line:
vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Then we restart the Zabbix agent:
/etc/init.d/zabbix-agent restart
Finally, we must specify the password of our zabbix MySQL user in the Zabbix web interface configuration:
vi /etc/zabbix/dbconfig.php
That's it. you can now open http://server1.example.com/zabbix or http://192.168.0.100/zabbix in a browser. Log in with the username Admin and no password:
Afterwards, go to Configuration and configure Zabbix. The Zabbix configuration is beyond the scope of this document. You can learn more about this subject in the Zabbix documentation.
If you have problems with Zabbix, please check the Zabbix logs:
The Zabbix configuration files for the server, agent, and web interface are as follows:
3 Install The Zabbix Agent On server2.example.com
Let's assume we have a second server (server2.example.com, 192.168.0.101) that we want to monitor. Of course, we don't have to install the Zabbix server or a MySQL database on server2.example.com, because this is already installed on server1.example.com. All we have to do is install the Zabbix agent:
apt-get install zabbix-agent
Then we must edit the Zabbix agent configuration file /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf and put the IP address of our Zabbix server in the Server line and specify the hostname of the current system in the Hostname line:
vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
Afterwards, we restart the Zabbix agent:
/etc/init.d/zabbix-agent restart
That's it. You can now use the Zabbix web interface on the Zabbix server (server1.example.com) to monitor server2.example.com.
If you have problems, you should check out the Zabbix agent log file /var/log/zabbix-agent/zabbix_agentd.log.

Anyone can wear a pencil skirt as long as the fit is right. The skirt shouldn't be too tight, but should skim the hips, butt, and thighs instead. If you're a skinny woman, then a pencil skirt will give the illusion of a curvier figure. A high-waisted pencil skirt will highlight the hourglass figure of a more ample woman. And just like the pencil skirt is flattering on any body type, it's also appropriate for almost any occasion. Keep clicking for where and how to rock a pencil skirt.

Leading an athletic lifestyle doesn't just improve one's health or make full-length mirrors feel better about what they're reflecting. It has the power to influence others to do the same, boosting the spirits and extending the lifespans of entire towns; and that what drives Cause 2 Compete. Committed to social and environmental awareness, the athletic-event company partners with communities to deliver charity races that enhance communal relationships and aid environmental causes. With their array of fun runs, including the Dawn of the Dunes course, Twisted Turkey Trail race, and We Run This Town series, Cause 2 Compete brings athletes together for scenic marathons that help enrich their locales.
Frolicking in a 500,000-gallon wave pool, plummeting from 100-foot free-fall slides, and drifting along a 1,200-foot lazy river with 5 mph currents are just a few of the diversions found within Seven Peaks' net of water parks. The aquatic havens spread across Utah and Indiana, luring families and adventurous kayakers with forests of twisting water slides such as the Provo location's Boomerang, which sends passengers ricocheting down three stories. Calmer fun awaits at child-friendly areas such as Sand Bar Bay, where gentle spurts of water surprise and delight kids and a tiny slide sends them, careening and giggling, into the water.
Since 1995, the staff at Classic Bodyworks 24 Hour Gym & Fitness has kept the family-owned fitness studio in pristine condition?and now, it's accessible to members at any hour, day or night. Long lines of ellipticals and treadmills await inside, in addition to a variety of free-weights, machines, and little notes hidden here and there that simply read, "Flex." A number of group aerobics classes are also available to members in the airy studio. Personal trainers are frequently on-hand to work with visitors and help reach fitness or weight-loss goals.

The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.3 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] - Page 5
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2009-06-04 17:02. ::
14 Set MySQL Passwords And Configure phpMyAdmin
Start MySQL:
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
Then set passwords for the MySQL root account:
mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
Now we configure phpMyAdmin. We change the Apache configuration so that phpMyAdmin allows connections not just from localhost (by commenting out the <Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin"> stanza):
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
Next we change the authentication in phpMyAdmin from cookie to http:
vi /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Then we create the system startup links for Apache and start it:
chkconfig --levels 235 httpd on
Now you can direct your browser to http://server1.example.com/phpmyadmin/ or http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/ and log in with the user name root and your new root MySQL password.
15 Install Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin And ClamAV
To install amavisd-new, spamassassin and clamav, run the following command:
yum install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamd unzip bzip2 unrar perl-DBD-mysql
Then we start freshclam, amavisd, and clamd...
chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd on
... and create some necessary directories:
mkdir /var/run/amavisd /var/spool/amavisd /var/spool/amavisd/tmp /var/spool/amavisd/db
16 Installing Apache2 With mod_php, mod_fcgi/PHP5, And suPHP
ISPConfig 3 allows you to use mod_php, mod_fcgi/PHP5, cgi/PHP5, and suPHP on a per website basis.
mod_fcgid is not available in the official CentOS repositories, but there's a package for CentOS 5.x in the centos.karan.org testing repository. We enable the repository as follows:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
Next we open /etc/yum.repos.d/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo...
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
... and set gpgcheck to 0 and enabled to 1 in the [kbs-CentOS-Testing] section:
Afterwards we can install Apache2with mod_php5, mod_fcgid, and PHP5:
yum install php php-devel php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mysql php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-eaccelerator php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mhash php-mssql php-snmp php-soap php-tidy curl curl-devel perl-libwww-perl ImageMagick libxml2 libxml2-devel mod_fcgid php-cli httpd-devel
Next we open /etc/php.ini...
vi /etc/php.ini
... and change the error reporting (so that notices aren't shown any longer) and add cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 at the end of the file:
Next we install suPHP:
cd /tmp
Then we add the suPHP module to our Apache configuration...
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf
... and create the file /etc/suphp.conf as follows:
vi /etc/suphp.conf
Finally we restart Apache:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
17 Install PureFTPd
PureFTPd can be installed with the following command:
yum install pure-ftpd
Then create the system startup links and start PureFTPd:
chkconfig --levels 235 pure-ftpd on
18 Install MyDNS
There's no MyDNS rpm package for the x86_64 architecture, and building MyDNS from the sources on CentOS 5.3 x86_64 fails because of some incompatibilities with the mysql-devel package. Therefore we install the MyDNS rpm package for i386 which works on x86_64 as well:
wget http://mydns.bboy.net/download/mydns-mysql-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm
When the system boots, MyDNS must be started after MySQL. The MySQL startup link has the priority 64 on CentOS, so the MyDNS startup link must have a priority between 65 and 99. Therefore we open the MyDNS init script...
vi /etc/init.d/mydns
... and change
Then we create the startup links:
chkconfig --levels 235 mydns on
We don't start MyDNS now because it must be configured first - this will be done automatically by the ISPConfig 3 installer later on.
19 Install Vlogger And Webalizer
Vlogger and webalizer can be installed as follows:
yum install webalizer perl-DateTime-Format-HTTP perl-DateTime-Format-Builder
cd /tmp
20 Install Jailkit
Jailkit is needed only if you want to chroot SSH users. It can be installed as follows (important: Jailkit must be installed before ISPConfig - it cannot be installed afterwards!):
cd /tmp
21 Install fail2ban
This is optional but recommended, because the ISPConfig monitor tries to show the log:
yum install fail2ban
chkconfig --levels 235 fail2ban on
22 Install rkhunter
rkhunter can be installed as follows:
yum install rkhunter

The South Carolina Senate insisted on its version of House Bill 4482 — which refers to the Sixth Day of Creation — on a 28-13 vote on April 30, 2014, and so the bill proceeds to a conference committee.
Standards impasse resumes in South Carolina
The impasse in the dispute about the place of evolution in South Carolina's state science standards continues. "The S.C. Education Oversight Committee on Monday sent proposed language to the [state board of education] that would require biology students to construct scientific arguments that seem to support and seem to discredit Darwinism," reports the Charleston Post and Courier (April 28, 2014).
Friend of Darwin and Friend of the Planet awards for 2014
NCSE is pleased to announce the winners of the Friend of Darwin award for 2014: Eric Rothschild, Stephen G. Harvey, Witold Walczak, Richard B. Katskee, and Faye Flam. The first four recipients led the victorious legal team representing the plaintiffs in Kitzmiller v. Dover, the 2005 case establishing the unconstitutionality of teaching "intelligent design" in the public schools; Flam, a science journalist, wrote "Planet of the Apes" — the only newspaper column dedicated to evolution — for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 2010 to 2012.
Repeal effort fails again in Louisiana
Louisiana's Senate Bill 175 (PDF) was tabled on a 3-1 vote in the Senate Education Committee on April 24, 2014, which effectively kills the bill in committee, according to the Baton Rouge Advocate (April 24, 2014).
