Using the Amd Automounter
Administrators today manage large sites with many Network File System (NFS) file servers and clients. Users like to be able to log in to any host and access the same files from any remote server. The naïve way of providing this access to all users is to hand mount all file servers on each client. Not only is this unwieldy to manage, but any unreachable server can cause all the clients to hang. Furthermore, users have to know what name to use to access files from certain servers.
The solution to these problems is an automounter. An automounter is configured with the knowledge of all file servers, such that administrators need only maintain the automounter's configuration in one place. Moreover, an automounter provides access to remote file servers on demand when users first try to access a pathname that leads to that server; this ensures that only servers in use and reachable are mounted on clients, minimizing the chances for hangs. Finally, the automounter provides a uniform namespace for the resources. For example, the pathname /src/kernel can hide the fact that the actual location of those files is server1:/n/raid/l/ksrc/v2.4/21preX.
Most commercial vendors and Linux distributions include an automounter. However, such automounters often work on only a single platform, use incompatible configurations or provide a limited feature set. The Amd Automounter, also known as the Berkeley Automounter, was developed with portability and a rich feature set in mind. It runs identically on numerous UNIX systems, provides a superset of features found in other automounters and supports a large set of features for even the most demanding administrator. If you are an administrator of a site with heterogeneous UNIX systems and want to make your life easier, Amd is the way to go.
This article explains how Amd works and provides a set of examples to demonstrate Amd's capabilities. The article is aimed at site administrators and anyone with a perversion for filesystems. We assume basic familiarity with Linux, NFS and filesystems. It is impossible to cover the Amd Automounter in detail in only a few pages; it would take a whole book to do that. Nevertheless, our examples are designed to start with the simpler, more common uses of Amd and gradually increase in complexity.
Amd is a user-level dæmon that attaches itself to a directory, called an automount point. Amd receives requests from the kernel whenever users try to access that automount directory. Amd then ensures the actual resource the user is requesting is available and responds to the kernel's request. Finally, the kernel returns the appropriate status code to the user, and the user magically sees the desired files in the pathname requested.
Let's follow an example. Suppose Amd is started and attaches itself to the directory /src. A user runs ls -l /src/kernel. The kernel knows that the Amd dæmon is the valid file server for the /src directory, so the kernel suspends the user's ls process and sends a message to Amd asking it to resolve the name kernel within the automount point /src. When Amd starts, it loads automounter maps for each automount point. These automounter maps can be read from plain files, NIS/NIS+, LDAP, N/DBM and more. The map that Amd loads for /src is a list of key-value pairs. The key represents the name that Amd should provide within the automounted directory, and the value contains the information that Amd requires to resolve access to the named key. For our example, the map might contain:
kernel type:=nfs;rhost:=server1;\ rfs:=/n/raid/l/ksrc/v2.4/21preX
In this example, the key is kernel and it is separated from its value by whitespace. The value consists of three variable assignments, delimited by a semicolon. We use a back slash as a multiline continuation character. Variables are assigned values using the := Pascal-style syntax. Here, the type variable says the map entry describes an NFS mount. The rhost variable gives the name of the remote NFS server. Finally, the rfs variable describes the pathname of the exported directory on that remote host.
Going back to the suspended ls process, when Amd receives a lookup request from the kernel for the name kernel, Amd consults its map and finds the entry with that name. Amd mounts the /n/raid/l/ksrc/v2.4/21preX directory from the remote host server1. It then returns enough information back to the kernel about the type and actual location of that NFS-mounted directory for the kernel to resume the ls process. The ls process resumes listing the contents of the directory /src/kernel, unaware of the flurry of activity that transpired between Amd and the kernel, let alone where the actual location of the files for /src/kernel is.
Amd also checks to see when was the last time an automounted entry was used and automatically unmounts unused entries. This ensures that a system mounts only entries actively in use. In case you're wondering if you could control the timeout period, yes, you can. In fact, you can control dozens of parameters. Now you're wondering if you have to spend days configuring Amd. No, you don't; most parameters have been tuned carefully with appropriate defaults.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

How to Get New Hires on Board, the Right WayOctober 6th, 2015
You've spent hours screening resumes, interviewing candidates and conducting background and reference checks. The hard work is over, right?
No, it's actually just beginning.
As one of the top staffing agencies in Charlottesville, Adams & Garth knows that oftentimes when it comes to new hires, the statistics aren't pretty. In many cases, they can quit after just a few months or a year on the job – and you're back to square one. However, there are steps you can take to get and keep your new hires engaged. And it's all about your onboarding process.
When new employees aren't properly onboarded, it's easy for them to get overwhelmed and confused; the end result is disengagement. At that point, they typically re-start their job search and eventually move onto another company – which winds up costing you a lot of money.
However, when you have a solid onboarding process in place, you can avoid this situation so that you not only hire top talent, but retain them, as well. To help you improve your onboarding process, here are some tips to follow:
Be straightforward about the job from the beginning.
Don't try to paint a rosier picture than what reality is. That's a recipe for disaster with a new hire. Instead, when you're looking to hire, make sure you educate the candidates about the benefits and challenges that come with the job. They can therefore make a smarter, more informed decision about whether the opportunity is really right for them. And when a candidate does accept your offer and join your company, they won't be blindsided by the challenges of the position.
Be prepared for your new employee.
When an employee arrives on the job and you're not ready for them, it's disheartening – which can set the tone for the job. So before their big first day, make sure their office and computer are all set up for them. Also, communicate with your existing staff ahead of time. Send out a welcome email that first day acknowledging the new employee. In addition, assign them a buddy or mentor who can help answer job-related questions and also show them the ropes of working at the company.
Be clear about what you expect from the new hire.
Your new hire should have a crystal clear understanding of not only short- and long-term goals, but also of turnaround times, deliverables, and how their performance will be measured. The better you can communicate these factors to your new employee, the better chance they have of succeeding on the job. This is also a good time for you to ask them about any questions, concerns or issues they may have, so that you are both on the same page.
Be there for your new hire.
It's important to spend some one-on-one time with your new employee during those first few weeks on the job. These don't need to be long or overly formal meetings; simply schedule casual get-togethers during which you can discuss progress, problems, and questions.
Do you need more help finding and retaining top talent for your team? Call Adams & Garth. As one of the top staffing agencies in Charlottesville, we have the knowledge and expert team in place to help you find and hire the best people, the first time.

Described by Robert MacFarlane in The Observer as Banville's "boldest book" for its little plot (MacFarlane, 2000:1), Eclipse (2000), Banville's eleventh novel,has engendered contrasting opinions by both reviewers and literary critics.While some praise Banville's stylish and elegant prose, others lament the lack of plot and characterisation.

The Moultrie News inadvertently attributed a feature story and photos to the incorrect person in last week's Moultrie News.
The story and photos, entitled "Swan Lake-Iris Gardens overcame accidental start" were by Judy Farley.
She is a member of the Garden Club of Snee Farm. The group embarked on a day trip to the fabled Swan Lake-Iris Gardens just under two hours north of the Lowcountry in Sumter.
Read the corrected version on our website at www.MoultrieNews.com. You'll read about her experience at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens which emerged as a completely unplanned stroke of good fortune.
The project was begun in 1927 as a fishing retreat for successful local businessman Hamilton Carr Bland. His plan was to develop the 30 acres of swamp on the property while landscaping the grounds of his large home with Japanese iris (Iris ensata), a tall, regal flower whose dominant colors ranged from a light violet to a deep imperial purple.

AUSTIN - The Senate Finance Committee was considering Wednesday legislation that would provide a tax break for small oil producers facing record low prices.
On Tuesday, Gov. George W. Bush designated the bill as an emergency so the Legislature can act quickly on it. House and Senate sponsors predicted that can move the measure through the legislative process and get it to Bush for signing in about two weeks.
That would provide tax relief to small producers facing record low oil prices.
"This is an emergency because we've got an emergency situation for people in the oil and gas business," Bush said. "It's tough times in the oil patch."
The bill provides an exemption from state severance taxes for oil from wells that produce 15 barrels or less per day when the price dips below $15 a barrel for three months. It would apply to natural gas from wells producing 90,000 cubic feet or less daily if the price drops below $1.80 per mcf.
The severance tax rate for oil is 4.6 percent of the value at the wellhead. The rate is 7.5 percent for natural gas.
The exemption provided in the bill would apply to taxes due between Feb. 1 and Aug. 31, the end of the state's fiscal year.
"It's a short-term fix for a very difficult time for one of our major industries," said Sen. J.E. "Buster" Brown, a Lake Jackson Republican who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate.
Lt. Gov. Rick Perry said he supports the tax exemption because Texas is losing jobs as a result of the low oil prices.
"The price of oil today is hovering around $11 a barrel," Perry said. "U.S. rig counts are at a historic low, and there are literally thousands of Texas jobs that have been lost."
Brown said when prices drop, operators of marginal wells consider shutting down production, reducing the amount of property taxes collected by many school districts.
About 80.5 percent of the oil wells in Texas have only marginal production, said Linda James of the Railroad Commission.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, is one of the House sponsors of the bill but admitted that it will help only a little.
"It's absolutely all the state can do," Chisum said.
Bush said the "ultimate solution" for the energy industry is on the price side, which state officials are powerless to address.
Also Tuesday, the governor designated as emergencies other legislation that will cost the state about $63 million during the current budget cycle. The bills include a $25 million emergency appropriation to help cotton producers pay their 1999 assessments in zones that already have approved boll weevil eradication programs and almost $19 million to provide public school teachers additional training in the instruction of reading.

Research Interests
My lab is interested in identifying high-yield, targetable pathways in advanced bladder cancer, with a strong emphasis on mTOR signaling and novel downstream targets that are involved in cell motility and invasion. Our emphasis is on advanced bladder cancer, which currently has limited therapeutic options when conventional therapy fails. We utilize both in vitro and xenograft model systems to test migration and invasion in bladder cancer. A unique aspect of our laboratory is the use of human bladder cancer specimens – both as primary cultures and ex vivo bladder wall cultures – to understand invasion in a "translationally relevant" context. We have expanded on our mTOR signaling work to identify novel downstream targets of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes that influence migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells. We have also evaluated the novel microenvironment of bladder cancer to identify putative mediators of mTOR complex signaling in this model system.

Dr. Donna Hansel was born in Minneapolis, MN, and moved to Florida at the age of 5. She completed her primary and secondary education in South Florida. She subsequently enrolled in the Bachelor of Science degree program in Biology at the Johns Hopkins University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. During her undergraduate career, Dr. Hansel was actively engaged in numerous academic activities that included laboratory research, with her first presentation at the Society for Neuroscience during her sophomore year. She was accepted into the M.D., Ph.D. Medical Scientist Training Program at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she completed her Ph.D. in the Neurosciences, with first author publications in the Journal of Neuroscience and Nature. She was awarded a Multiple Sclerosis Society Fellowship in 2001 to study dorsal root ganglia biology in the Genetics and Pathology Departments at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She returned to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine at the end of her fellowship, where she completed her residency in Anatomic Pathology and a genitourinary pathology fellowship in 2006. Dr. Hansel was awarded membership into Alpha Omega Alpha at the completion of her residency.
Dr. Hansel joined the Cleveland Clinic Anatomic Pathology Staff in 2006 as a subspecialty genitourinary pathologist, and was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Anatomic Pathology at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of the Case Western Reserve University, with joint appointments in the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, Genomic Medicine Institute, Taussig Cancer Center, and Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute. Dr. Hansel continued to expand her research focus in bladder cancer, given her passion to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for patients with this historically understudied disease. Dr. Hansel received funding during this time from the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society to study the role of mTOR complex function in bladder cancer cell invasion, and advanced to the rank of Associate Professor. Dr. Hansel also oversaw the prospective multi-institutional collection of bladder cancer specimens for the Cancer Genome Atlas Project during this time, and continues to support the mission of this enterprise. In 2013, Dr. Hansel was recruited to the University of California at San Diego as a Professor of Pathology with Tenure and Chief of the Division of Anatomic Pathology. She oversees an interdisciplinary research program in bladder cancer that incorporates advanced –OMICs technologies in the analysis of human bladder cancers, identifying cell signaling pathways that may be targets for bladder cancer therapeutics development in the future. Dr. Hansel has also implemented a highly subspecialized Division focus and continues to grow the outstanding group of Anatomic Pathology faculty at this institution. She is honored to be the recipient of the Ramzi S. Cotran Young Investigator Award.
Dr. Hansel has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, edited or authored 5 textbooks on urologic pathology and biospecimen repositories, and has participated in more than 50 national or international talks on bladder cancer.

Principals Catering work with suppliers and schools to produce fresh, high-quality, nourishing school meals.
See the 'Our Food' page for more
Whatever the season our aim is to provide, nourishing, nutritional meals ensuring that they are tasty and attractive to children.
Each school will have a specific timetable but you can use the calendar from Kent County Council as a guide to term times and holidays.
On 15th December 2015 Harbour & Jones acquired PCC Ltd, which trades in both the event and business and industry catering fields as Fare of London, the prestigious contract catering and venue management business, and Principals Catering, a prominent education caterer.
Delivering nutritional value
Principals use a software programme, called CRISp to calculate the nutritional value of the raw ingredients used in our dishes. We can analyse the value of each menu, allowing us to phase in new
dishes easily, whilst maintaining the nutritional balance. Menus include all kinds of international, regional and ethnic choices, without forgetting, of course, an extensive range of traditional favourites.
Fresh is best
Principals purchase only top quality meat, fruit, fish and vegetables, from the local area.
'Home' cooking
The best ingredients in the world still need skillful cooking to become an appetising meal. At Principals, our management team work hard to reflect each schools food requirements. Each catering
team is trained to consistently produce and present the agreed menus. We also have several senior chefs who will continually visit to help develop and ensure the best practice is maintained.

Rescue crews called off their search Thursday afternoon for a man that may have drowned in Langley Pond on Wednesday.
Chief David Paul Smith, of the Burnettown Police Department, said crews halted their search about 5 p.m. due to thunderstorms approaching the area.
"The divers have covered everything they can cover within a reasonable distance of where the person was last seen," he said.
rews from the Department of Natural Resources and the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division were expected to continue searching on today.
In addition, the Burnettown Police Department is also looking for Byron Alexander Coleman of Graniteville, who Smith said may be missing.
Coleman reportedly matches the description of the man who "went under" at the pond on Wednesday. He has not been in contact with his family, Smith said.
Smith said he is not making a direct connection between Coleman and the man who may have drowned, only that authorities are investigating both leads.
"We're going to keep searching until the effort is exhausted," Smith said of the Department of Natural Resources dive team that is searching the pond.
An emergency call was received at about 5 p.m. Wednesday that three swimmers – two men and a woman – were in distress at Langley Pond. One of the male swimmers was pulled from the water and transported to an area hospital in critical condition. The female swimmer reportedly followed him to the hospital.
The second male swimmer has not yet been located. The three had been swimming in a no-swim area of Langley Pond.
Smith said the man taken to the hospital and the female had just met the missing man earlier on Wednesday.

PHILADELPHIA — When it comes to selling itself, Philadelphia is a bit like Noah's Ark: it has two of everything. There are two marketing agencies, two websites, and two slogans. There are two chief executives, two finance officers, two marketing staffs - all taxpayer supported. Which, for some, is one too many of everything. "We in the hotel community never truly understood it," said William Walsh, who managed the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown for 10 years. "We always asked if it would make more economic sense to combine talent and resources." Bill Gullan, president of Finch Brands, a local firm that counsels companies on how to brand themselves, is more pointed. "The structure of our regional marketing apparatus is nonsensical," he wrote in a recent blog post, "and ultimately self-defeating." Chris Hepp, The Philadelphia Inquirer.
INDIANA — "Aging in place" and "universal design" are phrases Curtis Lentz uses to describe an expanding segment of his business — a growing demand for design services, products and remodeling touches developed for people who want to grow older in their homes rather than make the transition to an assisted living facility or nursing home. Aging in place is a hot niche in the home remodeling industry, and Lentz, owner of Lentz Kitchen & Bath, in Indiana, has watched the demand for special aging-related products and services grow steadily, especially in the past decade. His business has developed a specialization in serving those needs, and a new showroom being built at the company's headquarters at 556 Water St. will focus on universal design and aging in place merchandise for the bath and kitchen. The demand is due in part to an aging population. Randy Wells, Indiana Gazette.

I have kind of a dumb question. How do all of you hang/care for your meat back at camp??

The man who oversees the insurance operations for Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway tells CNBC that Berkshire is talking with troubled bond insurers like MBIA and Ambac about a possible partnership or purchase, although it doesn't sound like anything major is imminent. Ajit Jain's comment came in response to a question from Erin Burnett in a live interview on CNBC's Street Signs about why Berkshire chose to "build" its own bond insurer rather than buy an existing company like Ambac or MBIA.

Bad hair job leads to legal odyssey
Woman puts $10,000, many months into case
A woman who said she had to have her head shaved after getting a bad dye job from a local hair salon will finally have her day in court.
The woman, Vjerana Harasic, said she's already spent more than $10,000 on the case, educated herself in the law, and took nine months off from her job as a computer system analyst, all to fight for her case.
And that, she says, is the problem.
"The court system is for people who are rich or for businesses," Harasic said. "If you're handling your case yourself, it's like you're being punished for seeking justice."
Last week Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Charles F. Kahn Jr. ordered that the case go to trial in October. It had been thrown out earlier by another judge but was reinstated by the 1st District Court of Appeals last fall.
Harasic's story began Sept. 1, 2004, and it was more than just a bad hair day. The day before, she had had her hair colored elsewhere and was unhappy with the results. She then went to the hair salon at the Boston Store - and asked that it be corrected.
She said her hair was healthy when she asked for lighter shade of blond.
Here's where it gets prickly: Harasic said she told the stylist she was sensitive to products with bleach and didn't want any on her hair; the stylist denies the conversation occurred, according to court records.
Harasic said that within minutes of the stuff being put on her hair, she complained that her scalp was irritated. After about 20 minutes, her scalp began to feel numb and her face began to itch, Harasic said. She said she again asked the hairdresser if the product contained bleach and this time was told that it did, according to the lawsuit.
The next day Harasic returned and complained. She received a refund, and another stylist colored her hair again.
"It was way too dark, and I couldn't run my fingers through my hair," Harasic said.
On Sept. 4, Harasic went to a hairdresser at another salon, who told her to have her head shaved.
"It was breaking off at such a rate that I knew I was going to lose it all anyway," Harasic said. "Part of my scalp was bleached white, and some of the dark pigment was embedded in the skin."
Harasic said all the treatments left her scalp numb and gave her throbbing headaches that lasted more than a week. She also said the affair brought on an episode of depression, which she had in the past but was able to control with a psychiatrist's help.
"To a reasonable degree of medical probability Ms. Harasic suffered from depression after losing her hair," her psychiatrist testified in a deposition.
When she decided to file a lawsuit, reality hit. She couldn't find a lawyer to take her case.
"Everyone was treating it like a broken fingernail," she said. "I thought they'd jump at it if someone had burned my arms. But it was like it was a joke."
So Harasic decided to be her own lawyer. She spent hours at the Marquette University Law School, where the librarian pointed her in the direction of the books and articles she needed to study. She attended free legal clinics in Milwaukee.
She also sat through three trials, just to study what lawyers do.
Harasic said unexpected costs began to bury her. The other side hired a psychiatrist to examine her; she didn't have to pay for that, but she did have to pay $420 an hour to question him, plus the cost of a court reporter ($125 an hour) and for a transcription. Photocopy costs were $300.
She said she just got a bill for a little less than $200, her portion of the cost of a court-ordered mediation, which didn't result in an offer to settle. Janet Cain, a lawyer for the hair salon, declined to comment, saying it's her policy not to discuss an active lawsuit.
Harasic said she's not sure she will recover what she's spent, but that's not the only issue.
"Now I'm going on principle," Harasic said. "It's not the money so much as it's the principle."

Static Caravan Insurance - Additional Cover
If your unit is destroyed, there are a number of additional costs that will arise, such as: debris removal, delivery charge and siting costs but there may be other costs and you should seek advice on this from your park owner.
Debris removal
Before a replacement unit can be sited, the remains of your destroyed unit have to be removed and there are strict environmental rules governing the way in which this happens. These rules have been introduced by Government legislation and are enforced by Local Authorities who have considerable powers to impose fines where the regulations are breached.
The cost of removing a unit in accordance with the regulations is high. We would normally expect the cost of debris removal to vary between £2,000 and £5,000, depending on the area but strongly suggest you seek advice from your park owner to confirm what you should allow.
Delivery charge
A delivery charge will be made to cover the costs of transporting your replacement unit to your park. Please speak to your park owner in order to decide what to allow for this.
Siting costs
When your replacement unit arrives, further charges will be made to site it on your pitch and connect it to park utilities such as electricity and sewerage etc. Please speak to your park owner in order to decide what amount to allow for this.

- Decide how long you will allow yourself to feel angry before you move on (five minutes is reasonable). Stewing for long periods only intensifies your anger.
- Exercise your anger away. When you find your temper building, take a brisk walk—or go into another room and do jumping jacks.
- Take an inspirational "time out" to read a favorite quote, a daily meditation, or a poem that is comforting. This has helped me cool down on many occasions.
- Count to 10. It actually works.
- Remove yourself from the situation—retire to the bathroom and throw cold water on your face.
- Write down how you feel and, equally important, why you feel that way.
- Throw back your shoulders, smile, stretch, or stand erect. Changing your posture can help change your mood.
- Acknowledge your anger openly by talking with a nonjudgmental friend or coworker who is a good listener.
- Learn to self-advocate. Speak up for yourself when someone mistreats you. You will be less likely to feel manipulated by others—a source of anger and defensiveness for many with ADD.

LinuxGuy| about 3 years ago
Is is not common to have a slew of people illegally passing school buses. I researched this and also found that MOST crashes involve the school bus driver running his own kids over. Maybe you should do a story on that? Fatalities from illegal passes are also VERY rare, per NHTSA data I found. Even so, a plastic breakaway arm coming from the left side of the bus one second after flashing reds would block the lane. Why not argue this point?

CBSE proposes open book examination system for class 10
While students won't be allowed to carry books inside examination halls, they'll be apprised about the chapters and paragraphs.
New Delhi: CBSE has proposed to introduce an 'open book examination' system in class 9 and 10 from 2014 wherein students will be informed of relevant chapters on which questions will be based. As per the concept, while students will not be allowed to carry textbooks inside the examination hall, they will be apprised in advance about the chapters and paragraphs from which analytical questions would be asked in the test, officials in the HRD Ministry said.
The plan is to introduce the system in Summative Assessment II and a component of the assessment will be based on text material supplied to the students beforehand. The examination that does not require rote memorisation thus reduces the current levels of pressure on students, Minister of State for HRD Shashi Tharoor has said in the Lok Sabha.
The government also proposes to introduce an 'open book examination' system in the form of open case study-based approach in classes 11 and 12. As part of this, the question paper will have a separate section carrying a set of problems based on case studies related to the subject.
CBSE would bring out guidance material for students and parents to solve their queries and to help them in preparing for the examination. The teachers would also be trained using multiple modes.

Haco de Ridder Officer International Visitors Program Mondriaan Fund
Since 2007 the guests of the International Visitors Program stay at Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy.
I work for the Visitors Programme and the yearly Orientation Trips organized by the Mondriaan Fund, the Dutch public cultural funding organization focusing on visual arts and cultural heritage. We invite around 20 people a year, mostly on an individual basis but sometimes as a group. The idea is to provide them an insight into the Dutch art field. Together with them I prepare a tailor-made programme of artists and institutions that they would like to meet.
I started out doing the Hotel school Maastricht and later in Heerlen. This was not a very conscious choice; it was more where I ended up when I had to choose between Religious Studies, Physiotherapy and Hotel school. After my studies I worked in posh hotels for quite a while but got fed up with it. I left the hotel business to travel through Southern Europe and Northern Africa for three years, working for a couple of whom the man was a writer and his wife was a gallery owner. They lived in Italy where they had a large house with a medieval tower in the garden. Here they had visits from Bruce Chatwin, David Hockney and many other artists. That is how I got involved with the art world. It made me decide to see how I could fit that in with my hotel experience. When back in the Netherlands, I studied Art Management at the Reinwardt Academy, later CBV (Culturele Bedrijfsvoering).
In my job right now, my background in hospitality is really useful. I like to facilitate the visitors in gaining a good idea of the contemporary art world in the Netherlands. I noticed recently I have to do more research on alternative spaces. There is a new scene of smaller initiatives who are very low-profile financially but have a very interesting program.
The way the visitors program comes together is by following the international art world, for example via the e-flux messages we receive when a curator is appointed for a big biennale. For instance we invited the Artistic Director Juliana Engberg of the Sydney Biennale, which opens 21 March. She was in the visitors program and decided to invite nine Dutch artists for the biennale, which on 72 artists is a good result. The Lyon Biennual of 2011 also had a lot of input from the visitors program.
We also receive emails from people who do a request to take part, and from Dutch institutions. Together with director Birgit Donker of the Mondriaan Fund we compile a long list which is sent through the organization. Then we decide on the short list. Usually about six months ahead we invite visitors.
In the last years, there has been a huge discussion about the budget cuts in the cultural sector. But people from abroad are still impressed by the cultural infrastructure in the Netherlands. The art world is still layered, with a good offer of bigger and smaller museums and alternative spaces. You can see the importance of institutions like the Ateliers, Jan van Eyck Academy, the Rijksakademie. There are so many people from abroad working here, and they have a huge influence on the art scene.
Next week we have a group of eight people from cities we visited during our last Orientation Trip, in Eastern Europe. We visited their institutions, so now it is very nice that we can reconnect them with the group who visited them, but also to introduce them to new people. And they will take part in the symposium on Thursday 20th March at the Stedelijk Museum. 'Heading East, new institutional models in Middle and Eastern Europe', where they will present their institution and of course the situation in the Ukraine will be a topic.

With the Academy Awards just days away, the Storino family has once again taken to Tumblr to honor nominees like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson and Saoirse Ronan with a very special game of dress-up.
This marks the sixth year in a row that Maggie Storino and her daughters Sophia, 5, Sadie, 3 and 8-month-old newcomer Sloane have used props and costumes to stage scenes around each best picture nominee.
"When it stops being fun, we'll stop doing it," Storino told Vanity Fair of the annual project, titled Don't Call Me Oscar. "But the girls love dressing up, so it isn't a struggle."
While the mom says the routine isn't much more chaotic than getting the girls dressed normally, she jokes that "if the Academy wanted to make my job easier, they could nominate more films with unicorns and mermaids."
Each setup takes about a week to prepare, and the photo sessions last around five minutes. "It feels like a giant scavenger hunt where we search the neighborhood for props and scenery," Storino explains.
Below are the scene recreations from this year's crop of Best Picture nominees, along with behind-the-scenes details Storino told Vanity Fair, which first published the images.
The Revenant
Sophia looks unbearably cute in her imitation of Leonardo DiCaprio's mountain man Hugh Glass from The Revenant.
In order to achieve the look, Storino hunted for a discount giant teddy bear, which she destuffed and draped over Sophia's head like a bearskin poncho. "She wanted to put her arms and legs in the bear's arms and legs, like a snowsuit," the mom said, noting that, "The "trapper chic" look is apparently not trending with the 5-year-old set."

Cardboard and wallpaper formed the cloudy skies background for the Room. "To prompt these expressions, I asked them to look at each other like they loved each other and they said, 'We do love each other, but we don't hug each other with our eyes closed,' " Storino explained. "And I said, 'Today you do.' "

While Storino admits that capturing a scene from such a "sensitive" film was "tricky," ultimately the presence of one of the film's great actors made the choice a no brainer: "You can never go wrong with Stanley Tucci. He's a national treasure."

In The Martian, Matt Damon's character is forced to get creative while salvaging for parts he can use to survive. But not even his glorified space MacGyver could've figured out how to make such a convincing space helmet out of socks, a onesie and a hot glue gun.
"Sloane stood up for the first time the day we took this photo," Storino said. "That might be why she looks so proud in this picture. As any parent knows, it's one small step for man, one giant leap for baby-kind."
Courtesy Maggie Storino / dontcallmeoscar.tumblr.com; Warner Bros.
This still required extra road warriors from the neighborhood, who were enlisted for their riding toys. The shot was taken on the shore of Lake Michigan. "After I took the photo, the kids rode around on the beach with reckless abandon, so it was a bit of life imitating art," Storino wrote.
Courtesy Maggie Storino / dontcallmeoscar.tumblr.com; FOX Searchlight
"This might look like a simple pose, but it's hard to pull off if you're three-years-old," Storino joked, adding that everything from the weight of the purse to the way Saoirse Ronan holds her sun glasses turned into an issue.
This was the girl's favorite picture due to their love of the movie, and the fact that they were able to paint on their bedroom walls in order to created the door backdrop.
Courtesy Maggie Storino / dontcallmeoscar.tumblr.com; 20th Century FOX
Apparently the girls confused this Cold War drama for the upcoming Barbie Movie, Barbie: Spy Squad, which led to some disappointment when it came time to get into costume. "Their dad's overcoats paled in comparison to pink spandex jumpsuits," Storino notes.
Courtesy Maggie Storino / dontcallmeoscar.tumblr.com; Paramount Pictures
This still afforded Sophia the opportunity to once again don a man's sport coat: "She's worn this jacket in The Theory of Everything, Wolf of Wall Street, Argo, Selma, and Twelve Years a Slave. And she's never worn it in real life."
Watch our Live from the Oscars Red Carpet show on PEOPLE.com starting at 5:30 ET/2:30 PT on Feb. 28 – and the 88th Academy Awards at 7 ET/4 PT on ABC.

Sajid, a hot property who just returned from America had always been Rekha's crush, and getting to meet him was a sheer delight for her simple background. Albeit, her work commitment kept her away from him, and that is when she bumped into Navin Nischol. Navin NischolNavin was the next one to make it in Rekha's love life. The first star to be paired against her in a movie, Rekha was completely bowled over by his suave nature and calm yet composed demeanor. Although having an affair with Navin was risky business for her. Navin's wife's constant presence on the sets and Navin's resistance to her advancements made it a one-sided game. This soon changed with the change of the shoot's location, and soon Navin drew down his guards and this brought them close together till the film's completion. Albeit, Navin being a married man, eventually took a leave and left Rekha looking for love again. BiswajitBiswajit Chatterjee was Rekha's first ever on-screen kiss, and we're pretty sure it must've been one helluva kiss, as Rekha fainted in his arms in the act! Unfortunately it cooled off just as fast as it had started, especially after Biswajit's career took a plunge for the worse. JeetendraJeetu was a player back in his days, and he played his game well with Rekha and got her perfectly entangled into his love-web. It'll be enough to say that Jeetu had Rekha dancing on his fingertips. After being paired together in a movie, Jeetu's behaviour eventually got to her, which saw her take some drastic steps and soon the rift grew wider till they completely fell apart. Shatrughan SinhaJeetendra's antics left Rekha completely devastated, and there was Shatrughan Sinha to lend her a shoulder to cry on. Their love didn't last long, but for a blabber-mouth like Shatrughan, he kept this stint in his life hidden from the outside world. Vinod MehraRekha's first true love came in the form of Vinod Mehra. Vinod was a true gentleman and a keeper and Rekha knew that perfectly well. One of the first chaps to see beyond her starlet persona, Vinod's fondness for Rekha was almost palpable. Albeit, due to Vinod's mother being against the relationship, Vinod eventually abandoned Rekha, just the way the rest did. Kiran KumarVinod Mehra's best bud and confidant, Kiran Kumar proved to be like a rebound love for Rekha. She went out with him just to get the fire burning in Yash's furnace, and we seem to believe it did the trick. Albeit, this didn't last long for soon entered the man who would overshadow her past in a flash. Amitabh BachchanThis one needs no introduction. Rekha's unconditional love towards Amitabh is still one of the most talked about gossip in Bollywood, and sparks fly whenever they cross paths even today! Being cast opposite each-other in ten movies, the Amitabh-Rakhi combo was a pure hit in Bollywood and love bloomed. Unfortunately, Amitabh was already hitched to Jaya, and Rekha threatened to be a fatal blow to their marriage and they had to part ways eventually. Mukesh AggarwalRekha eventually settled down with Mukesh, a Delhi-based industrialist in 1990, but that too ended in casualty as Mukesh committed suicide leaving her distraught after that. This closed down the love chapter in Rekha's life and left her shattered enough not to pursue another one ever again. < 1 2 3 4 5 > Follow @indiatimes facebook twitter reddit gplus Comment Here Sajid KhanRekha's first love interest in the industry was none other than Mehboob Studio owner -- Mehboob Khan's son, Sajid Khan.

Wealth Inequality
The billionaires who make up the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans now have as much wealth as all African-American households, plus one-third of America's Latino population, combined. In other words, just 400 extremely wealthy individuals have as much wealth as 16 million African-American households and 5 million Latino households.
The Great Recession deepened the longstanding racial and ethnic wealth divide in the United States. The typical white family held a net worth six times greater than the typical black family at the end of the 20th century. That gap has now doubled. The wealth gap between white and Latino households has widened as well.
Income and Wealth Inequality
The racial gap in median income has closed slightly over the last 20 years. Nonwhite families earned about half of what white families earned in 1989. This closed to 70 percent in 2007 and slipped back to 65 percent in 2010. But the gap in assets runs much wider. White families claim about six times the net worth of non-white families, a gap that has changed little over the past generation.
The gap in median home value, for white and nonwhite homeowners, narrowed through the housing boom. In 2007, the median nonwhite-owned house held 90 percent of the value that the typical white-owned house held. But the crash saw a sharper decline in both nonwhite housing value and nonwhite rates of home ownership. In 2010, the median primary residence for all nonwhite families, not just homeowners, had about half the value of the homes of white families.
