Power 2008: The Elements of Influence
Case Study: Reverend Ray Hammond, pastor, Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church
IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS since Reverend Ray Hammond founded Bethel A.M.E. in his Dorchester dining room, and until his upcoming move to the former St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Jamaica Plain is complete, he'll continue preaching to his flock on folding chairs in an old school gym. If it seems a little odd for the city's most connected preacher to have spent so long in such rude lodgings, well, that's just Pastor Ray, says Reverend Richard Richardson, associate pastor of St. Paul A.M.E. in Cambridge. "He didn't rush to try to become something bigger than what God would have him be."
Hammond may be humble (he declined to be photographed for this story), but he's deeply dug in: He chairs the board of the Boston Foundation, is a trustee of the Yawkey Foundation II, and is also chairman of the Ten Point Coalition, the community group behind Boston's successful efforts to quell gang violence in the '90s. That combination of reticence and diverse alliances makes Hammond emblematic of the evolution of religious power in this growingly secular city, with its history of soapboxing religio-political leaders. It also sets him apart from fellow clergy like Bruce Wall and Eugene Rivers, whose barnstorming verbosity won them entrance into the halls of power — and later, summary banishment. "Ray has had a relationship with everybody who's shared an office on the second floor since Weld. He walks in those circles," says his friend Horace Small, head of the Union of Minority Neighborhoods. While often frustrated with what he sees as Hammond's reluctance to upset the city's largely white power structure, Small understands it's based in strategy as well as temperament. "With Ray, it's like, 'I won't stick my neck out, because I want to be here to fight another day,'" Small says. "I understand it. I understand that this is Boston." —Lissa Harris
Ray Flynn on the upside to the Catholic Church's power outage.
Ray Flynn, the former mayor of Boston and ambassador to the Vatican, sees a silver lining in the Boston archdiocese's struggles in Archbishop Seán O'Malley, who's largely forsaken the political wheeling and dealing of old for a more humble, conciliatory approach: It could well be the only way for the Catholic Church to get back in sync with its lay leadership, Flynn says. "[O'Malley]'s a good American, but he's not a politician. He's done the best I've seen in terms of distancing himself from the kind of political roundtables where they carve up the pie…. It's a more independent, healthier relationship." Call it answering to a higher power.

Recently overclockers have been given a wide birth when its comes to how far you can go - in fact, there is more emphasis on the ability to get more speed out of your CPU, Memory and Motherboards than ever before. This is pretty much evident with nVidia, ATI and yes even Intel getting in on the action on the chipset front. Can you say, "P965"?
AMD was clearly the first company to embrace overclockers. While in the past they have tried to thwart them with unlocked multipliers on their processors. Now if you want to do it without restrictions, its a matter of paying extra dollars to do so. AMD calls this the Athlon FX line, and Intel calls it the Extreme line.
While both Intel and AMD are giving you the option to overclock your CPU, you need a board that can actually do it. While actively denying overclocking in the past on their own Desktop boards, Intel's 975X and P965 chipsets have been overclocking power houses using the latest Core 2 Duo chips, especially the P965 with bus speeds of well over 400MHz easily being obtained without special voltage mods or what not.
Today Intel joins overclockers by giving them the option of overclocking on their very own desktop boards and who would have ever thought such a thing? This is definitely a first for the big CPU giant who tried to prevent overclocking by introducing locked multipliers and even removing asynchronous bus clocks in its early PCI Express 915 chips.
Today we have Intel's D975XBX2 or Bad Axe 2 motherboard in our test labs. This board was originally intended to be the flagship board for the Core 2 Quad. While we did have it to use for the Core 2 Quad, we decided to use our trusty Gigabyte DQ6 for our CPU review, as its proven to overclock to the max. This time we are looking at the board which Intel provided and just to see how well it stacks up to the mother of all Core 2 overclocking boards, the Gigabyte P965 DQ6.

The Antares is an advanced visual representation of an airplane design based on the Amelia project Every dimension and most elements are different, but the spirit of the concepts remains.
For me, inspiration comes in many forms and one of them is when I'm reading magazines. Last summer, I read an article in Popular Science about the future of flight It featured a new regional jet design envisioned by a team from the California Polytechnic State University. This project, named 'Amelia' was developed with NASA and it combines three aircraft designs that normally conflicts with each other. I really liked the idea and wanted to see how it would look if we used some DNA from the 'C-Series' DNA and come up with more advanced renderings.
The Antares looks like a normal aircraft, but it has a large wing that sits on top of the fuselage similarly to the Bombardier Q400 It would be equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada turbofan engines mounted on top and at the front of its oversized wing. In the 1970s, NASA modified a De Havilland C-8A Buffalo to see how it would perform with engines mounted in this position. This STOL prototype (Short Take-Off and Landing) named QSRA seemed to perform well. There's even a YouTube video where you see it land on an aircraft carrier. (Check out also the Boeing YC-14) Mounting the engines on top and at the front of the wing could generate five to ten times more lift than on a conventional aircraft. It would also help reduce noise by 30 decibels or more and that is a major asset for the airline industry. Obviously one key challenge would be the pre-flight maintenance and accessibility of the power plant…
The Antares could land and take-off on very short runways (3 000 feet) This means, it could serve smaller and less accessible airports and tap into a new market, similar to what the Canadair Regional Jet did back in 1992. The increase in lift and performance could also mean, ultimately, a lower cost per seat for the airline industry and maybe, a smaller ticket price for passengers. If you've been following the development of the C-SERIES you know that it takes a lot of time and capital to develop a new plane. It also takes a lot of political and corporate support because the risks are really high, especially if you venture into new designs. In my opinion, a project like this should probably be developed in partnership with a large government such as the Chinese. China has the capital needed to finance ventures of this magnitude. They are interested in growing their aircraft industry and they have proven that they can authorize, deploy and support projects of this scope. Most important of all, there are over 170 cities in China with a population that exceeds one million people…
I would like to thank the Amelia team & Nasa for their incredible work & inspiration. Most important of all I would like to thank Robin Ritter who created the fantastic renderings of the Antares concept and who went the extra miles to verify some important structural elements. Robin is based in Stuttgart and he has worked in the past at Porsche and Eurocopter.
Note : The Antares concept was created on October 1 2013 and was first published in the Toronto Globe & Mail on January 7, 2014 (view the article)
That's a very nice design. Although, in the real world, you would have some serious trim drag issues with the engines mounted that high above the center of mass. Thanks for sharing the concept.
Hey, that's a nice plane, but next time do a concept plane based on MIT's double bubble fuselage studies. That double bubble idea does not have the trim and drag issues (not to mention the terrible capsize that would happen if you had to make an emergency landing on water) of the Amelia concept.
And, of course, the MIT double bubble pushes to an interesting extreme (thanks to the use of the fuselage as a partial lifting body) the high aspect ratio wing already exploited (in a less radical way) by the Bombardier Dash 8 or Q-Series.
This is a nice design visually, but I am wondering about the inverted thrust drag couple: Adding thrust pushing the nose down, instead of up; is that considered and compensated for so as to reduce trim changes with thrust or to make them more beneficial?
I ask because of a design I sketched and began modeling a few decades back had upper mounted engines as well, and I was concerned about this issue. It was an amphibian pusher design, about the size of a C-206 Cessna.
Believe it or not the other night I just had the idea of
an over wing over jet design but I haven't known
about this website until today
Check out the videos on the Boeing YC-14. Boeing solved the thrust problems and the aircraft flew well and safely. But note their engine position, much tighter to the wings than the Bombardier sketches. To make the Coanda effect work properly the thrust has to be tight to the wing upper surface. When used properly the Coanda effect can generate lift equal to the thrust of the engines, hence the STOL properties.

Facebook ads are often a source of debate. Some say they're not very effective, and with an average click through rate of 0.028% compared to Google Adword's average of 2%, it's really no wonder. There's another side to this, however. These ads see a 39% "Like" rate. That's 39% engagement with the brand. While Facebook ads may sometimes see a stigma, there is a payoff.
So what makes a great Facebook ad? Let's look at a few.
The pink flowers here are eye catching for fast approaching Valentines day. The content goes nicely with the picture and states its intentions from the start. I also appreciated the use of two call to action words: "order" and "call."
I read that pictures of women are an effective strategy for Facebook ads, but I'd argue that the picture and the title here have absolutely nothing to do with AT&T, and at that point, who wants to dig into the small text to find out?
I think this is a much better attempt on AT&T's part. The picture is interesting with the graphic popping out of the phone and the title actually uses the word smartphone- which is what they're advertising. Good save AT&T.
I like Special K's overall Facebook marketing efforts. They make the ad personable to the female reader by introducing our new friend, Tracey in a bright, upbeat picture. We can follow her story and watch her videos as she takes the Special K challenge, which will hopefully push other females to do the same. Plus, Tracey is an ordinary woman with a confident smile- something all women can relate to.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is the emotional anxiety experienced by extreme "left-brained" highly sensitive people.
"Giftedness is a dual diagnosis with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder since intellectualization may be assumed to underlie many of the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for this disorder." (Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis of Gifted Children)
- highly sensitive nervous system (most likely inherited genetically at birth)
- left brain dominance
- dominant emotional overexcitability
- anxiety (the more sensitive a person is, the more he or she is likely to become overwhelmed by the world around him or her)
The main difference between OCD and OCPD is that OCD is characterized by the fear of one's own imagination while OCPD is characterized by the fear of one's own emotions. Read my theory in more detail on "OCD vs OCPD: Restoring Our Imagination and Heart."
|1. is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost.
|"Left brain" dominance combined with tunnel vision.
|2. shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met)
|Passion for excellence (excellence takes time no matter who you are) combined with fear of the consequences of imperfection.
|3. is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity)
|Fear of the consequences of the inefficient use of time. read more…
|4. is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)
|"Left brain" dominance combined with emotional sensitivity.
|5. is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value
|Fear of the consequences of the wrongful disposal of things that have value. read more…
|6. is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things
|High standards combined with fear of the consequences of the inefficient use of time and money. read more…
|7. adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes
|Fear of the consequences of the inefficient use of money. read more…
|8. shows rigidity and stubbornness
|Fear of the consequences of being flexible. read more…
THE GIFT UNWRAPPED: Who You Are Without Fear
You are a champion of excellence. Your standards are so high because you know what excellence looks like. When you see excellence being celebrated, your heart leaps with excitement!
The way that you live your life is a testament of your passion for excellence. You cannot bear the thought of compromising your high standards for life by settling for "comfortable" or "good enough" as most other people do. That kills you inside. You would rather die trying to have the most enriching, fulfilling life.
The way that you work is a testament of your passion for excellence as well. You work so diligently because excellence takes a lot time and effort. As a result of your consistent hard work, you have ingrained in yourself a superhuman work ethic. When you find that one thing you love to do more than anything else in the world, nothing can stop you. What others might consider a chore, you consider a joy. While others count the hours that they work, you lose track of time. When excellence is delivered by the work of your hands, it inspires the world. It opens people's eyes and makes them say, "Wow! So this is what excellence looks like!" Oftentimes, financial success follows excellence. But money can never supersede your uncompromisable love for excellence.
The way that you love your romantic partner is another testament of your passion for excellence. When you find that one person you love more than anyone else, you really give your life to them. While others let the passion in their romantic relationships fade too easily, you work hard at making yours exhilarating. You fight everyday for your partner's heart. You are like the knight in shining armor whose love for his princess is so powerful that you would slay dragons everyday for her.
You pursue excellence in your other close relationships as well. Rather than spreading your attention thin over multiple surface-level relationships, you zero in all your energy to a few friends to experience deep, meaningful friendships.
You have a gifted mind that aids you in your pursuit of excellence. You are highly intelligent, especially in logical reasoning and problem solving. You are a talented strategist. Your mind has a knack for understanding things that have an orderly structure to them. If a complex machine from outer space was designed in a logical manner and given to the people of Earth to try to figure out its use, you would be the first one to master it.
But the most amazing thing about you is your big heart! You experience heights of joy and depths of sorrow that remain a mystery to most people. Your greater emotional range gives you the ability to empathize with others so well that your relationships reach such a deep level of intimacy. Your heart not only senses the pain in others, but it also knows how to deliver the right comfort and healing. When this awareness is combined with your abundant care and generosity, people's lives change. Your heart is so big that it has the capacity to care for humankind on a larger scale. While most others might easily dismiss the needs of the world in order to focus on their own needs, you lay your life down for the benefit of the world. Your heart breaks when you see injustice happen as a result of the absence or lack of moral order. You passionately fight for what is right and make the world a better place.
The above description is the true identity of people with OCPD. This identity, however, gets lost and distorted by trauma, fear, and lies. Fortunately, these things can all be worked out and the true identity of people with OCPD can be restored.
If you are a person with OCPD, read the above character description to yourself frequently and believe in it. If you care for someone with OCPD, help him or her find his or her identity by affirming the above truths in his or her life.
You are not stuck with OCPD for the rest of your life. You can restore your true identity. This restoration will come as long as you work hard on facing yours fears and removing the lies in your head.
As a highly sensitive person with emotional overexcitability dominance, your fears are mostly centered around your emotions. It is likely that you have also developed all kinds of control mechanisms to help you cope with all your overwhelming emotions. You must learn to live without these mechanisms of control as they are preventing you from facing your fears. You must get in touch with your emotions and find out for yourself that you are going to be OK.
This will not be easy. In fact, this will cause a lot of anxiety at first. Your mind will scream, "Are you crazy?! You are being extremely reckless and foolish!" Ignore it. Your mind will judge and criticize you in the areas that you are most insecure about. It will scream, "You are ugly!" "You are worthless!" "You are stupid!" "You are a loser!" You must ignore all of these as well. If you agree with them and meditate on these lies, you will only end up even more insecure and broken at the end. You must believe that you are going to be just fine and that you are a beautiful masterpiece. Ask your loved ones to support you in this process of restoration by sharing words of affirmation to you. After some time, those screaming voices in your head will quiet down and eventually stop altogether. By that time, you have conquered your fear.
As a highly intelligent person with a gift for figuring things out, you are very well equipped for self-therapy. It may be difficult, however, for you to identify all your mechanisms of control on your own because you have lived the majority of your life thinking that those things were normal. For that reason, it can be a good idea for you to get additional help in checking your "blind spots" with a professional. The kind of professional you should be looking for is one who will encourage you to get in touch with your emotions and help you learn how to eventually do that on your own outside of the patient-therapist setting. If you struggle with addictions that hurt yourself and others, you should definitely seek help.

College girls at Maryland State, 1923 (courtesy Shorpy)
American adolescents, freed from responsibility (thanks to child labor laws) and shaped by world wars, developed habits and morals fashioned from pop culture. The melodramas of a postpubescent life became heightened and iconized -- young love, emotional trauma, budding sexuality and physical awkwardness.
In Matt Wolf's Teenage, we see this alien lifeform evolve over the course of under 50 years, from the start of the century to the year 1945, a finish line marked by the creation of 'A Teen-Age Bill of Rights' which ran in the New York Times. It mercifully stops before the monster fully emerges, the hyper-teenager (Annette Funicello, Elvis Presley, Catcher In The Rye) standing just beyond on the horizon.
This is not strictly an American story. We see champagne-swilling British adolescents and young Germans listening to jazz too. Rebellion translates in different ways -- flappers, zoot suits, flirtatious dance moves. While American girls were crumbling in grief over the death of Rudolph Valentino, their English counterparts were filling the newspapers with scandalous behavior. In Germany, the youth even took power before succumbing to exuberance, then becoming entrapped by its dangerous extremes.
Woven through this dizzying black-and-white atmosphere are a few clever modern reenactments, illustrating a few individual stories, zeroing in on a few youths carried away by vice, radicalism or violence.
This is not a documentary that stops and stares. It creates a flowing narrative that bleeds subjects into each other, like a watercolor made of newsreel, perhaps a frustrating experience if you're looking for something more traditional. Teenage is a meditation, not a Ken Burns movie. You may leave the movie thinking less about the historical construct of adolescence and more with the emotional uncertainty of a certain Victor Frankenstein, moments after realizing what he's unleashed upon the universe.
Teenage is currently playing at Sunshine Cinema in New York City. Visit their website for other dates and locations.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Trilogy Sells 10 Million Copies in 6 Weeks
Vintage has sold a combined total of ten million trade paperback, eBook and audiobook copies of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy in the last six weeks.
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group president Anthony Chirico had this statement: "This is an astonishing number. The sales velocity for Fifty Shades of Grey is unprecedented, with reader demand still growing. BookScan data indicates that the trilogy has captured twenty-five percent of the adult fiction market in recent weeks."
At the same time, The New York Times reported more libraries debating about carrying the racy books like the Brevard County Public Library in Florida. The Wisconsin library that serves the Fond du Lac community has refused to purchase any copies. Several libraries throughout the country have chosen to do the same.

If you are a frequent Internet user, you have undoubtedly watched a video online somewhere.
Ok here, watch this:
That video happens to be from Youtube, but as you may or may not know, there are many other places to watch videos online. Some of them are questionably legal. The legitimate sites, however, show advertisements before, during and/or after the videos they display. A 30 minute show typically has 2-3 minutes of commercials — a far cry from televisions 8-12 minutes!
You can also walk the wild side and attempt to find your shows using BitTorrent. BitTorrent is a terrific distributed model for dispersing media across the Internet. But the television and film industry just don't get it. Well I've got a solution. Continue reading

It's not the luck of the Irish we need. It's a greener lifestyle. We are constantly bombarded with options for greener living today. The color green has been popular in Design for many years now, influenced by the movement toward a healthier way of life, a purer existence, a cleaner way of living. It can all be very confusing, but we do the best we can!
Green design has exploded over the years with products with low VOC paints and wallcoverings, energy saving appliances and lighting, and zero carbon footprint carpets. There's up-cycled, recycled, and repurposed as design options. Many great sustainable and beautiful products with more and more options exist. It's almost becoming a requirement to be LEED certified as a Designer in some markets. I continually tell clients that these products are usually more than the less environmentally friendly products. It's more work, and more expensive to bring these exciting products to market, but worth it in the end.
Emerald Green was all the rage last year, as the Pantone color of the year, (see "Follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City -Part I"). We were flooded with images of green used in new and exciting ways in the home. Where green was always considered taboo in the kitchen, associated with rotting food, it's now a fresh alternative and linked to the healthiest food options with power packing kale, spinach, and other "farm to table" selections that are so good for us.
Green is associated with nature and the color of Spring which we all so crave at this point in the year, When we use green inside, it brings the outdoors in, and we all love and need some organic qualities in our homes. Green brings us piece of mind, peace in our hearts (the color of the heart chakra), and a quite place to regroup and find our happy (and lucky!) place in our homes.
For more thoughts on the color green, see blog posts: Follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City -Part I, Feeling Lucky?…Don't Take a Chance on Design, Emerald Green Part II: Celebrating Earth Day and Green Design and my Pinterest Boards Color of the Year-Green, and Greener Living

Kyle Williams joins Chiefs, hopes to play Sunday
Wide receiver Kyle Williams says that he hopes to be able to contribute to the Kansas City Chiefs in Denver this weekend, even though he only joined the team on Wednesday.
Williams was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers a day earlier, and didn't arrive in Kansas City until after midnight. He spent his first day in the practice facility trying to get up to speed in time for Sunday night's showdown against the Broncos.
It's possible that he'll be able to play on special teams, but Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said it would be unfair to expect Williams to contribute on that side of the ball.
Williams said he's willing to help out where the Chiefs need him.

|But I do not think the flying machine will ever be used for ordinary traffic and for what may be called "popular" purposes.

Royal Ceramics Lanka Plc (RCL), which last week announced the exit from its commodity broking business, is expected to register a capital gain of Rs. 34.7m, a brokerage firm said. RCL said it had entered into an agreement with Lanka Commodity Brokers Limited to sell its entire stake of 51% in Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC (ASIY) where 132.6m ordinary voting shares would be transacted at a total consideration of Rs. 371.28m. The sale will take place in two phases according to SEC terms, where a 12.75% stake would be sold immediately after March 4, 2013 and the remaining 38.25% stake will be transacted after June 11, 2013.
RCL acquired ACIY, the fourth largest commodity broking house in the country which was a privately held company back then in April 2012 at a consideration of LKR336.6m.
"Thus RCL would receive a gain of Rs. 34.71m through this deal, even though the originally perceived synergies with other related companies did not materialize. During the period as a subsidiary of RCL, Asia Siyaka contributed Rs29.0m to its parent's earning. However this divestment would benefit RCL going forward in streamlining the business and focusing more on core and related businesses", TKS Securities noted in a company update.

Griffo: Reward schools that submitted teacher evals on time
(WKTV) Senator Joseph Griffo (R, Rome) is urging Governor Andrew Cuomo to reward the schools that turned their work in on time. Griffo says the teacher evaluation system is a difficult process for many schools. Districts have been told for months now that failure to file the evaluations by the deadline could lead to the district losing millions of dollars in state aid. Now- the deadline has been extended- by nearly a month. In a letter to Governor Cuomo, Griffo writes "At a time when the challenges of funding education in this state have never been greater, and school districts all across this state have committed themselves to reform by investing countless hours in developing and submitting teacher evaluation plans, i believe that these schools that have done their work and met all required deadlines should be rewarded for their efforts." The New York City School District has not handed in an evaluation yet. That district stands to lose between $200 and $250 million. Griffo is proposing that Cuomo take the money from the schools that did not submit on time and divide it up between the schools that did. "Districts have been told for months that failure to file by this deadline could lead to the revocation of millions of dollars in state aid. At a time when we in Albany are requiring responsible action on the part of all branches of government to use existing resources to the fullest, I believe that money in aid that would have gone to districts that failed to meet the deadline should be reallocated and sent to the many schools – some very small with minimal administrative staffing – that rose to the challenge."

"I wanted to thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity I had to intern at Greenwood.
My love for animals has increased so much through this experience, and my decision to go back to school so I can work in the animal health field was confirmed, because of my time here. I love the Center so much and everyone who works here! I'm excited to keep being involved!
Krissy Bland, Fall '09"
An internship at Greenwood provides the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with many different wildlife species. Interns will learn skills such as handling techniques, cleaning and sterilization procedures, habitat enrichment, diets, food preparation, and feeding methods, and will assist experienced rehab staff with treatment procedures.
Our internships are intended to provide experience and on-the-job training in basic rehab skills, not to teach veterinary medicine.
As an intern at Greenwood, you will be expected to work hard and get your hands dirty! There is a lot to learn from our wild patients through daily feeding and cleaning activities, but we need people who are really willing to take the initiative, learn, and get messy in the process.
There is no 'cuddle time' with these animals. Our primary objective is to return them to their natural, wild habitat once they are rehabilitated. We are an animal hospital first and foremost—and our patients and facilities must be treated as such.
We hope a working internship will help interns to examine wildlife career opportunities. In return, we expect to work with enthusiastic, mature, hard-working people who will become an integral part of the working staff at Greenwood during their internship.
All internships are unpaid, and interns must be at least 18 years old. If you are interning for school credit or have a specific school project that needs to be completed during your time with us, let us know. We will likely be able to accommodate it.
"I'd like to thank you again for bringing me in to Greenwood. I can't explain to you enough how much I have learned and what an amazing experience working with the staff, volunteers, and animals has been. Not many people can say they were given this kind of opportunity, and I am so greatful to be part of the center if even for a brief two months...it became home to me.
-Robin Abrams, Summer '10"
Previous experience in animal care—whether with wildlife or domesticated animals—is preferred. Degrees (or degrees in progress) in the natural sciences, wildlife management, veterinary medicine, veterinary technician, or environmental education are preferred, but we will consider interns from any background.
We believe that a strong interest in wildlife, passion, a strong work ethic, and willingness to learn are more important than academic qualifications.
Sessions are split by species and season.
Spring Mammal Session 1: March - April
Spring Mammal Session 2: Mid-April - mid-June (pre-exposure rabies vaccines required to work with raccoons)
Summer Mammal Session 1: June - July
Summer Mammal Session 2: Mid-July - mid-September
Summer Bird Session 1: May - June
Summer Bird Session 2: Mid-June - mid-August
Summer Waterfowl Session: June - mid-August
We are now accepting applications for 2014.
20-40 hours per week, 5-10 hour shifts
Ability to work weekend shifts required
Greenwood understands that college internships for course credit may not require as many as 20 hours per week, and we are willing to accommodate our interns in this situation.
There is currently no on-site housing at Greenwood. If you are coming from a distance, you will be responsible for finding your own housing. However, we will certainly be available to make recommendations on affordable housing in the area.
You will also be responsible for arranging your own transporation to and from the center.
Please submit a cover letter and application via email (preferred) to our Intern Coordinator at email@example.com. The application is available in both Word and PDF formats:
If you do not have email access, you may also fax your application to (303) 823-5051, or mail it to:

Xen Cluster Management With Ganeti On Debian Etch - Page 7
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Sun, 2007-09-16 19:00. ::
15 Further Ganeti Commands
To learn more about what you can do with Ganeti, take a look at the following man pages:
man gnt-instance
man gnt-cluster
man gnt-node
man gnt-os
man gnt-backup
man 7 ganeti
man 7 ganeti-os-interface
and also at the Ganeti administrator's guide that comes with the Ganeti package (in /docs/admin.html). The Ganeti installation tutorial also has some hints.
The most interesting commands should be these:
Start an instance:
gnt-instance startup inst1.example.com
Stop an instance:
gnt-instance shutdown inst1.example.com
Go to an instance's console:
gnt-instance console inst1.example.com
Failover an instance to its secondary node:
gnt-instance failover inst1.example.com
Delete an instance:
gnt-instance remove inst1.example.com
Get a list of instances:
gnt-instance list
node1:~# gnt-instance list
Get more details about instances:
gnt-instance info
node1:~# gnt-instance info
Get info about a cluster:
gnt-cluster info
node1:~# gnt-cluster info
Check if everything is alright with the cluster:
gnt-cluster verify
node1:~# gnt-cluster verify
Find out who's the cluster master:
gnt-cluster getmaster
Failover the master if the master has gone down (fails over the master to the node on which this command is run):
gnt-cluster masterfailover
Find out about instance volumes on the cluster nodes:
gnt-node volumes
node1:~# gnt-node volumes
Removing a node from a cluster:
gnt-node remove node2.example.com
Find out about the operating systems supported by the cluster (currently only Debian Etch):
gnt-os list
16 A Failover Example
Now let's assume you want to take down node2.example.com due to maintenance, but you want inst1.example.com to not go down.
First, let's find out about our instances:
gnt-instance list
As you see, node2 is the primary node:
node1:~# gnt-instance list
To failover inst1.example.com to node1, we run the following command (again on node1):
gnt-instance failover inst1.example.com
Afterwards, we run
gnt-instance list
again. node1 should now be the primary node:
node1:~# gnt-instance list
Now you can take down node2:
shutdown -h now
After node2 has gone down, you can try to connect to inst1.example.com - it should still be running.
Now after the maintenance on node2 is finished and we have booted it again, we'd like to make it the primary node again.
Therefore we try a failover on node1 again:
gnt-instance failover inst1.example.com
This time we get this:
node1:~# gnt-instance failover inst1.example.com
The failover doesn't work because inst1.example.com's hard drive on node2 is degraded (i.e., not in sync).
To fix this, we can replace inst1.example.com's disks on node2 by mirroring the disks from the current primary node, node1, to node2:
gnt-instance replace-disks -n node2.example.com inst1.example.com
During this process (which can take some time) inst1.example.com can stay up.
node1:~# gnt-instance replace-disks -n node2.example.com inst1.example.com
Afterwards, we can failover inst1.example.com to node2:
gnt-instance failover inst1.example.com
node2 should now be the primary again:
gnt-instance list
node1:~# gnt-instance list
