text: Home Gallery Print (Slideshow) Tate Britain Artwork Poems The Tate's Long-Copy Ads Are Designed to Spark Your Interest in Famous Works of Art Poetic Words Introduce Audience to Works by Bacon, Millais and More By Alexandra Jardine. Published on Nov 17, 2015 Editor's Pick Tate Britain substitutes visual art for words in its first campaign through Grey London, a series of black and white, long-copy posters running on public transport. The ads describe famous artworks, such as Millais' "Ophelia," and Francis Bacon's "Triptych - August 1972," with copy that looks, and feels, more like poetry. "Ophelia" starts with the words "Grief has never looked so beautiful" while the ad about Triptych tells the reader that, if you were a gay man in 1970, "You don't paint pictures of flowers in a vase/ and you aren't going to start now." Another famous historical painting, "Portrait of Elizabeth 1," is described as a Tudor-age selfie, with the words "Elizabeth couldn't take a selfie in 1563/But if she could it would look like this." The copy was written by Grey's Pete Gatley, Jonas Roth and Rasmus Smith-Bech, and art directed by chairman and CCO Nils Leonard. Rob Baker, Tate CMO said in a statement: "Our ambition in working with Grey London is to offer a broader audience new 'ways in' to the art we present at Tate Britain by creating cultural relevance." The ads will run as posters and tube cards on the London Underground as well as in press and on the Tate Britain website. Postcards of the ads will be also be available to the public for free in Tate Britain. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

text: Jodas - Unregistered June 12, 2009 3:48 AM If you look at the record books, it is Burgess that was the secret to Honda's success. He has been key to 10 of Honda's 14 WC in the Premier class. He was responsible for Freddie Spencer's 500 Honda when Spencer won both the 500 and 250 WC in 1985. He was responsible for Wayne Gardner's 500 WC in 1987, and of course, he was there for ALL of Doohan's 5 WCs. The only Honda WCs won without Burgess were - Spencer 1983, Eddie Lawson 1989, Alex Criville 1999, and Hayden 2006. Therefore, Honda was winning WCs "way" before Rossi, but not Burgess... 8 agree 0 disagree

A few other questions:
1. What is the name of your hosting provider?
2. Are you on a windows or linux server?
4. Were there any other recent changes to the blog? (theme changes, new plugin installed?)
One thing that I noticed is that you currently have wp super cache installed. Currently Track That Stat is not compatible with caching plugins so this may be part of the issue.
I would still have to run some other tests with your current plugin list.
we have our won dedicated server
no new plugins after yours
the cache is disabled as it would not work with woocommerce either
if you notice it shows activate or deactivate in the list.
it started working about 30 mins after this post, but none of the stats are displaying just empty info, apart from the graph which is showing strange numbers of visitors which is not the same as jetpack stats numbersPlugin Author Gohard
Can you try changing the permissions to 777 for all of the .tsv files within the "track-that-stat" plugin folder?
Also, the stats numbers may be higher than Jetpack because the plugin track robots as well as human visitors.
I have deleted the plugin, it was too much hassle, the big problem it was showing stats from 2008 prior to me even using WP.
I will take another look if and when the plugin gets updated
thanksPlugin Author Gohard
Okay sure, there may have been other plugins interfering or what not, but I will be doing a lot more testing with different server configurations in future updates.

This application is related to U.S. patent application 07/924,718 by the same inventors, filed on Aug. 4, 1992, now abandoned, which was a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application 07/726,256 by the same inventors, filed on Jul. 5, 1991 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,158,089 on Oct. 27, 1992.
The present invention relates to fitness-training apparatus and more particularly it relates to advancements in a headband posture monitoring equipment directed to sensing head tilt in the saggital plane and providing bio-feedback to the wearer for purposes of evaluating and improving posture especially as related to the head, neck, shoulders and spine in a standing, sitting or exercising position.
It has been established that, given symmetry of the body about the saggital plane (the median vertical plane dividing the body into right and left halves), a key element of posture is the inclination of the head in this plane statically and dynamically with body movement, along with the necessary linear elongation of the neck and spine required for truly good posture. There is an optimal range of head inclination within which the weight of the head tends to be balanced and thus minimize the amount of force required from the supporting muscles, ligaments and bones. Generally, individuals whose normal head positioning is held within this optimal range tend to enjoy physical wellbeing and good appearance. Outside of this optimal range, unbalancing of the weight of the head upsets the muscle and ligament equilibrium, and, if continued over a length of time, generally leads to symptoms of muscle and ligament strain and potential discomfort or disfunction along with the resultant detriment to the appearance and self-esteem.
For those who seek to overcome harmful posture behavior patterns, a posture training program will benefit from biofeedback and assertive technical reinforcement to accelerate the process and ensure more lasting postural improvement. Conventional practice often relies heavily on the verbal admonishments of others including professionals and may require an extraordinary level of self-discipline and self-awareness, more than is reasonable to expect in many individuals.
Research leading to the present invention has found therapeutic benefit in posture training which utilizes a headgear device to monitor inclination of the head in the saggital plane as indicative of posture of the upper body, including the head, neck and shoulders, and to assertively remind the individual through bio-feedback whenever this posture lapses to an incorrect condition. Furthermore, the effectiveness of such training may be enhanced by optimizing the amount, distribution and dynamics of weight of the device as perceived by the user. The effect of the corrective action extends beyond the actual duration of each training session by creating within an individual a "muscle-kinesthetic memory" so that even when the device is not in use or activated, the individual actually "recalls" and retains proper head position to the benefit of related neck and back posture.
Posture training devices for attachment to the body have been proposed as exemplified by U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,958,145 to Morris, 4,055,168 to Miller et al, 4,007,733 to Celeste et al, 3,582,935 to Verhaeghe, 3,608,541 to Hall and 4,871,998 to Chailloua; all of these utilize some form of harness or belt for attaching sensing apparatus to the trunk of the body around the waist or shoulders.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,493,328 to Saito discloses a light sensing structure attached to the chest and shoulders operating in conjunction with a head-mounted light source for treating spasmodic torticollis. U.S. Pat. No. 4,869,509 to Lee discloses a GOLFER'S HEAD MOVEMENT INDICATOR as a golfer's training aid which, mounted inside a golfer's cap, audibly signals an improper head motion during a golf swing. The Lee patent further references a number of other patents addressing golfing posture.
The abovementioned and other known art of posture monitoring and training devices have failed to specifically and satisfactorily apply bio-feedback principles and techniques to the correction of standing, sitting and exercising posture of individuals afflicted with posture problems.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a headgear-mounted posture-monitoring device for sensing the tilt of a wearer's head in the saggital plane and providing indication to the wearer whenever the tilt reaches predetermined deviation limits to the front and rear, so as to enable the perception and maintenance of proper posture.
It is a further object to provide the device with user capability of setting or selecting different limits at which tilt will be indicated.
It is a further object to provide capability of registering and indicating additional data relating to posture monitoring and training performed with the device, such as the number of front and rear tilt deviations detected.
A still further object is to configure the monitor unit in such a manner that, in addition to audible feedback, the wearer will receive kinesthetic biofeedback, due to the wobble or totter of the unit, so as to further contribute to maximizing proper spinal elongation.
The abovementioned objects have been realized in the present invention of a posture-monitoring device including a level sensor and a monitor unit mounted to headgear, which may include a visor, via a central strap of fabric or other material positioned along the saggital plane and secured by a similar transverse strap. The battery-powered monitor unit includes a sonic indicator which becomes actuated in response to sensed head tilt deviations which exceed the preset limits.
Options for implementing the level sensor include a simple level-sensing switch such as conductive fluid or weighted pendulum type; however, in a preferred embodiment, a fluid-capacitive proportional tilt sensor is interfaced to a microcontroller which is readily made to provide selection of the front and rear tilt limits. The microcontroller may be made to provide additional capabilities such as a timing of training sessions and recording of the number and direction of tilt deviations detected, and may be made to disregard certain extraneous gross head movements.
The above and further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective top view of a visor-headband embodiment of a posture-monitoring device in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the visor-headband of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a lined hat embodiment of the posture-monitoring device of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged side view of a portion of the posture-monitoring device of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5A is a profile of a user wearing a headband posture-monitoring device according to the present invention, illustrating correct standing posture.
FIG. 5B is a profile of the user of FIG. 5A illustrating correct sitting posture.
FIG. 5C is a profile of the head of the user of FIGS. 5A and 5B, indicating critical angles of head inclination.
FIG. 6A is representation of a fluid/capacitive type tilt sensor, in a level orientation.
FIG. 6B is representation of the tilt sensor of FIG. 6A in a tilted orientation.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with a microcontroller-based monitor unit operating from the tilt sensor of FIG. 6A-B.
In the perspective top view of FIG. 1, headgear 10 for carrying a posture-monitoring device of the present invention has a sun visor brim 12 attached to a headband 14 which has a central strap 16, formed to follow the outline of the head along the wearer's saggital plane. Strap 16 is attached to headband 14 at front and rear, and a cross strap 18 is adjustably attached to headband 14 at two opposite side locations immediately above the ear. Strap 16 is made adjustable in length at the rear of the headband 14. At the intersections of straps 16 and 18, a fastener 20 is provided for attaching a monitor unit (not shown). Adjustments for head size and shape are provided by conventional adjustable fastening means such as dome or slide type fastenings: the headband 14 and straps 16 are made adjustable at the rear, and cross strap 18 is made adjustable in length and lockable on both sides. Preferably visor peak 12 is made removable from headband 14, e.g. by means of snap fasteners.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the headgear unit 10 of FIG. 1, showing visor peak 12, headband 14, straps 16 and 18, and monitor fastener 20. A level sensor element 22 is shown attached on one side of strap 18.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the posture monitor of the present invention wherein the headgear is styled to have a visor peak portion 12A made integral with a headband 14A. A monitor unit 24, shown attached at the intersection of straps 16A and 18A, includes a sonic indicator, battery, controls and circuitry to work in cooperation with level sensor 22, which may be mounted within one side of strap 18A as shown, in either an exposed or concealed manner. A lightweight underhat lining 26, seen between straps 16A and 18A, is made from breathable terrycloth-like material; as well as being absorbent of perspiration, lining 26 serves to in effect grip the user's hair and to distribute the weight of the monitor unit 24 so as to avoid any distracting pressure points and to allow the weight of the monitor unit to be fully perceived by the user.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged side view of the monitor unit 24 showing it mounted onto the uppermost crown portion of strap 16A by a mounting pedestal 26 which is preferably attached to unit 24 by a first mounting plate 28 and to strap 16A by a second mounting plate 30 fitted with a detachable fastener. The necessary electrical connections to unit 24 from the level sensor may be provided with a detachable connector. The mounting of unit 24 via pedestal 26 is preferably made resilient and pivoted, for example by means of a ball bearing or fulcrum pivot which may be surrounded by a sleeve of resilient material such as plastic foam. This flexible pivoted mounting working in cooperation with the mass of monitor unit 24 introduces a controlled amount of wobble or totter for to provide a kinesthetic/proprioceptive effect perceived by the user for spinal elongation. This effect may be further enhanced by fitting unit 24 with a pocket of weighted viscous material or fluid.
The mounting 26 and weight of unit 24 are made such that the wearer will perceive it as the principal object on the head, i.e. not over-ridden by the headgear portion.
FIG. 5A shows a profile of a user wearing a posture-monitoring unit 10A of this invention, illustrating correct posture in a standing position: the vertical line indicates generally linear alignment of the spine, neck and head in balanced relationship. In this style, the headband 14A is worn without a visor peak, in an approximately horizontal position appropriate to the user's hair styling. After an initial setup calibration at a reference neutral-tilt level corresponding to correct posture as shown in FIG. 5A, sensor 22 proportionally measures the tilt angle of the head in the body's saggital plane relative to the reference-level. The tilt angle is continuously monitored by unit 24, and generates an audible signal whenever the tilt exceeds a preset limit.
In FIG. 5B the user is profiled in a sitting position, again illustrating correct posture with linear spine, neck and head alignment.
FIG. 5C, shows a profile of the head of the user shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Critical angles of head inclination are indicated by phantom lines each side of the vertical line as the head is inclined frontward and backward in the saggital axis about a pivot point located in the neck region. Head inclination within the critical angles is considered indicative of acceptably normal posture, while inclination beyond the critical angles indicates defective posture and need for corrective action. Studies indicate the critical angles fall within a range between 2 and 7 degrees. A value of 4 degrees in both the plus and minus directions has been found to be generally valid and could be built into a simplified version as a fixed value; however, since this value may vary, for example between beginning and advanced training sessions, it is desirable to provide user adjustment for setting the plus and minus tilt levels at which sonic indication is actuated.
It should be noted that in FIGS. 5A-5C, the critical vertical axis corresponding to correct posture, as indicated by the phantom vertical line in each case, passes through several critical body points including the top of the head, the external auditory meatus (ear opening), neck pivot point, shoulder and principal lower support region (seat or foot). It is considered preferable to locate the level sensor 22 of the present invention on this axis, immediately above the ear as shown.
FIG. 6A represents a level sensor 22 (FIGS. 2,3) made in the form of a fluid/capacitive device for measuring the direction of the pull of gravity relative to the sensor, similar to the function of a bubble level. Two capacitors are formed by a pair of metal plates 32A and 32B disposed side by side on one side of a thin chamber 34 opposite a common plate 36 disposed on the opposite side, such that the chamber forms the dielectric for the two capacitors. The chamber is half filled with a non-conductive fluid 38 having a dielectric constant much greater than 1 (that of air). In the neutral, i.e. non-tilted orientation shown in FIG. 7A, it is clear that due to the balanced geometry the two capacitors will have equal capacitance.
FIG. 6B shows the level sensor 22 tilted at an angle counterclockwise from its neutral orientation in FIG. 6A. Now the area of high dielectric due to fluid 38 between plate 32A and common plate 36 has increased and thus the corresponding capacitance has increased, while the area between plate 32B and the common plate 36 and that corresponding capacitance have decreased. These opposite capacitance changes are proportional to the angle of tilt, and the two capacitance values may be converted to a signal which accurately and continuously represents the angle of tilt.
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram of the circuitry of an embodiment of the device of the present invention in which the monitor unit 24 receives input from tilt sensor 22, which is mounted directly to the headgear rather than to the monitor unit 24 so as to properly measure head tilt independent of the influence of the wobble or totter of the monitor unit 24 previously described.
Within monitor unit 24, a microcontroller 40 cooperates with interface electronics 42 which, connected to the two capacitors in sensor 22, converts the capacitance values into a signal usable by microcontroller 40.
In interface electronics 42, a pair of op-amp oscillators, which may be turned on or off under software control from microcontroller 40, are each tuned in frequency by one of the capacitors in sensor 22.
Microcontroller 40 is a specialized low power unit that includes RAM, ROM, I/O ports, a digital counter, an interval timer and an LCD driver. The program software in the ROM contains the user interface routines and the routines for converting the output of the interface electronics into a value representing the tilt of the sensor. The RAM contains the operating parameters selected by the user by switch group 48 and the processed information from sensor 22. The LCD display driver allows the microcontroller 40 to display the processed information to the user on LCD display 44.
The conversion routine for measuring the tilt angle uses a digital counter in the microcontroller 40 to count the oscillation cycles from each oscillator, and an interval timer to determine the period in which the cycles are counted. The conversion routine first resets the counter to zero. The routine starts the interval timer and enables one of the oscillators to begin oscillating. The counter counts the cycles of oscillation until the interval timer expires. The routine then turns off the oscillator and reads the digital count from the counter. This count is then processed mathematically to determine the capacitance and hence the angle of the tilt sensor 22.
The capacitance values from both capacitors in sensor 22 are read to provide the differential change in the two capacitors so as to enable the mathematical processing to suppress undesired common mode effects such as thermal drift and battery voltage variation. Microcontroller 40 converts and processes the tilt reading several times each second. The tilt readings may be further processed to reduce the effects of jostling of the sensor as the user walks and moves about.
The software contained in the ROM may include routines to further customize the function of the device to the individual user.
Using the keyboard switch group 48 the user may select the tilt angle at which the audio transducer 46 will sound. The user may also select a time duration for which the device will record data and process statistics relating to head position and posture, and transducer 46 may be made to signify the end of a training session of designated duration. The number of possible functions is limited only by the available ROM capacity of the selected microcontroller.
The microcontroller 40 is designed for low power operation. Most of the battery power is consumed by the audio transducer 46 and the interface electronics 42. However, this power consumption is small enough that the device may operate for a sufficiently long time using button cell batteries.
The detailed configuration and programming of microcontroller 40 and interface electronics 42 to accomplish specified objectives are within the knowledge and competence of those skilled in the control electronics and data processing arts.
A typical configuration of the user control switch group 48 could include a mode switch having four positions, e.g. BEGINNING, SEATED, ADVANCED and EXERCISING, and could be made to set a corresponding tilt limit and time duration for each, e.g. 4 degrees/5 minutes or 7 degrees/20 minutes.
Regarding the weight of the monitor housing 24 including it contents, a range from 2.5 to 4 ounces has been found optimal with regard to user perception and comfort.
As an alternative to locating the control switch group 48 and the LCD display 44 in the monitor housing 24, these could be made part of a cable-connected user control panel external to the main headgear unit. Display 44 could be mounted on a narrow support extending from the headgear in the manner of a bicyclist's rear view mirror.
The above referenced U.S. Pat. No. 5,158,089 by the present inventor, discloses still other aspects related to the present invention, particularly addressing relatively simple implementations utilizing discrete step level switches rather than a proportional level sensor and microcontroller.
The invention may be embodied and practiced in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description; and all variations, substitutions and changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

Is there a link between Alzheimer's disease and oral hygiene?
A study by the University of Central Lancashire School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2013 revealed that people with poor oral hygiene or gum disease may be at a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. It validates a previous U.S. study in which researchers reported that failing to brush your teeth each day significantly increases the risk of dementia.
The study showed that when the brain is constantly exposed to bacteria and/or other debris from a person's gums, subsequent immune responses may lead to nerve cell death and possibly a decline in cognition. The bacteria enters the bloodstream through daily activities such as eating, chewing and tooth brushing, and, most of all, through invasive dental treatment.
When the bacteria reach the brain, it may trigger immune system responses by already primed brain cells. This process causes the bacteria to increase more chemicals that kill neurons.
Researchers feel that this could be one mechanism that leads to changes in the brain, typical to Alzheimer's disease and can even be responsible for such symptoms as confusion and fading memory.
Although the research was not definitive, continued visits to dental hygiene professionals diligently throughout an individual's life is very important in reducing the risk of dementia, as is incorporating a good teeth flossing regimen and maintaining a healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and regular exercise.

Mr Geithner would write about his decision-making role at the Treasury over the past four years and as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 to 2009, said a source, who asked not to be identified because Mr Geithner had yet to meet with publishers.
Mr Geithner is also joining the Council on Foreign Relations this month as a full-time distinguished fellow in New York, where the organisation is based. He planned to participate in a conference for council members early next month, the group said.
"There will be very strong demand for Geithner's book, probably surpassed only by an eventual [Fed chairman Ben] Bernanke book," said Tony Fratto, a former White House and Treasury spokesman.
"Tim really was at the centre of every important debate and decision involving the financial crisis and economic policymaking in the Obama administration."
Mr Geithner "will have an opportunity to be an influential voice on policy debates for a very long time", said Mr Fratto, a partner at policy and communications consulting firm Hamilton Place Strategies.
As President
Mr Obama has nominated Jack Lew, his former chief of staff, to replace Mr Geithner.
In 2008, then-Treasury secretary Henry Paulson, Dr Bernanke and Mr Geithner as New York Fed chief initiated the bailouts of Wall Street banks and insurer American International Group and allowed Lehman Brothers to go into bankruptcy. At the Treasury, Mr Geithner was the administration's point man on the Dodd-Frank law aimed at preventing another financial meltdown.
During the US and the European debt crisis starting in 2009, he pushed for measures aimed at preventing failing banks from infecting other parts of the economy. That emphasis on stopping contagion dates to his work as a Treasury international affairs official during the Asian crisis that spread from Thailand in 1997.

Onaga the Dragon King originally formed the greatest army that Outworld had ever known; an army so powerful that it had never lost a battle. When Onaga was betrayed and killed by Shao Kahn, his army was entombed along with him after they ritualistically committed mass suicide since his death.
For millenia, this army of undead warriors would remain undiscovered in his tomb and await his second coming, until centuries later, the sorcerer Quan Chi discovered their location after his escape from the Netherrealm, and along with the help of another sorcerer Shang Tsung was able to revive it one by one. The young fighter Li Mei with the intention of freeing her home village, entered the Mortal Kombat tournament held by the Deadly Alliance, only to discover that the tournament itself was a setup; the Deadly Alliance was planning to transplant the winner's spirit as the last soul needed to completely revive the Dragon King's lost army.
When Li Mei's soul was almost transferred by magic powers of the two sorcerers into the mummified remains of one of the soldiers' cadavers against her will, it would seem that both her people are doomed to be slaves, and Li Mei herself would be reborn as a dead soldier, cursed to serve the Deadly Alliance forever. Until her teacher Master Bo' Rai Cho rescued her before that happened, yet that experience left some strange and strong supernatural influence on Li Mei, one that even draws her to her homeworld's long lost king. The Dragon King's army were completely destroyed in an ethereal energy blast caused by the thunder god Raiden's hara-kiri but their master Onaga, who had risen from beyond the grave, survived the explosion and continued forward to reclaiming Outworld, achieve his revenge and complete his plan of conquering the realms with the aid of a set of certain treasures with powers beyond comprehension.
After Onaga's return and eventual defeat, it was revealed that the army was only undefeatable due to his ability to constantly resurrect them during battle.
- The Dragon King's Army seem to be loosely based on the Terracotta Army.
- In the production gallery of Mortal Kombat: Deception, there exists a character called the Undead General, who is part of the Dragon King's Army, and is an obedient servant to Onaga himself.

Marina Lease Program
Marina Leases
Leases of public trust marshlands and waterbottoms are granted by the Coastal Marshlands Protection Committee for marina facilities with greater than five hundred linear feet of mooring space. The Coastal Marshlands Protection Act requires that the lease fee charged to for-profit facilities reflect fair market value. The Georgia Coastal Management Program has been designated by the Committee to act on its behalf to evaluate, enforce, and execute water bottom leases.
Amendments to the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act made during the 2009 session of the Georgia General Assembly resulted in minor fluctuations of annual lease payments.
House Bill 170, now codified at Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 12-5-287(d), establishes a base annual lease fee in 2009 of $1,000.00 per acre and a mechanism to adjust the annual lease rate to changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Coastal Marshlands Protection Committee reviews base annual rent on or before May 1 each year. Beginning in 2010, the 2009 rate of change (inflation or deflation) in the CPI for urban consumers, less food and energy, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is used to calculate the total amount due.

Junior Chasetown FC footballers are in Lichfield's twin town to take part in an international competition.
The Under 14 Chasetown Scholars and Chasetown Colts sides will compete in the Biennial Interland Football Tournament held at Sainte Foy Les Lyon in France this weekend.
They will take on ten French sides tomorrow (May 14) and have been fundraising for two years to pay for the trip.
A spokesperson said: "For some of the players this will be thier first ever trip outside of the UK.
"The Chasetown youth section has been attending this tournament since 1999 & Sainte Foy Les Lyon has sent a team to attend Chasetown's Biennial Easter Tournament since 2001.
"Sainte Foy Les Lyon is twinned with the city of Lichfield and links like this will hopefully help to strengthen the relationship across another generation."

The Azure Command-Line Interface (Azure CLI) is one of several tools you can use to deploy and manage resources with Resource Manager. This article introduces common ways to manage Azure resources and resource groups by using the Azure CLI in Resource Manager mode. For information about using the CLI to deploy resources, see Deploy resources with Resource Manager templates and Azure CLI. For background about Azure resources and Resource Manager, visit the Azure Resource Manager Overview.
To manage Azure resources with the Azure CLI, you need to install the Azure CLI, and log in to Azure by using the
azure login command. Make sure the CLI is in Resource Manager mode (run
azure config mode arm). If you've done these things, you're ready to go.
Get resource groups and resources
Resource groups
To get a list of all resource groups in your subscription and their locations, run this command.
azure group list
To list all resources in a group, such as one with name testRG, use the following command:
azure resource list testRG
To view an individual resource within the group, such as a VM named MyUbuntuVM, use a command like the following:
azure resource show testRG MyUbuntuVM Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines -o "2015-06-15"
Notice the Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines parameter. This parameter indicates the type of the resource you are requesting information on.
When using the azure resource commands other than the list command, you must specify the API version of the resource with the -o parameter. If you're unsure about the API version, consult the template file and find the apiVersion field for the resource. For more about API versions in Resource Manager, see Resource providers and types.
When viewing details on a resource, it is often useful to use the
--json parameter. This parameter makes the output more readable, because some values are nested structures, or collections. The following example demonstrates returning the results of the show command as a JSON document.
azure resource show testRG MyUbuntuVM Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines -o "2015-06-15" --json
If you want, save the JSON data to file by using the > character to direct the output to a file. For example:
azure resource show testRG MyUbuntuVM Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines -o "2015-06-15" --json > myfile.json
To add a tag to a resource group, use azure group set. If the resource group does not have any existing tags, pass in the tag.
azure group set -n tag-demo-group -t Dept=Finance
Tags are updated as a whole. If you want to add a tag to a resource group that has existing tags, pass all the tags.
azure group set -n tag-demo-group -t Dept=Finance;Environment=Production;Project=Upgrade
Tags are not inherited by resources in a resource group. To add a tag to a resource, use azure resource set. Pass the API version number for the resource type that you are adding the tag to. If you need to retrieve the API version, use the following command with the resource provider for the type you are setting:
azure provider show -n Microsoft.Storage --json
In the results, look for the resource type you want.
"resourceTypes": [
"resourceType": "storageAccounts",
"apiVersions": [
Now, provide that API version, resource group name, resource name, resource type, and tag value as parameters.
azure resource set -g tag-demo-group -n storagetagdemo -r Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -t Dept=Finance -o 2016-01-01
Tags exist directly on resources and resource groups. To see the existing tags, get a resource group and its resources with azure group show.
azure group show -n tag-demo-group --json
Which returns metadata about the resource group, including any tags applied to it.
"id": "/subscriptions/4705409c-9372-42f0-914c-64a504530837/resourceGroups/tag-demo-group",
"name": "tag-demo-group",
"properties": {
"provisioningState": "Succeeded"
"location": "southcentralus",
"tags": {
"Dept": "Finance",
"Environment": "Production",
"Project": "Upgrade"
You view the tags for a particular resource by using azure resource show.
azure resource show -g tag-demo-group -n storagetagdemo -r Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -o 2016-01-01 --json
To retrieve all the resources with a tag value, use:
azure resource list -t Dept=Finance --json
To retrieve all the resource groups with a tag value, use:
azure group list -t Dept=Finance
You can view the existing tags in your subscription with the following command:
azure tag list
Manage resources
To add a resource such as a storage account to a resource group, run a command similar to:
azure resource create testRG MyStorageAccount "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts" "westus" -o "2015-06-15" -p "{\"accountType\": \"Standard_LRS\"}"
In addition to specifying the API version of the resource with the -o parameter, use the -p parameter to pass a JSON-formatted string with any required or additional properties.
To delete an existing resource such as a virtual machine resource, use a command like the following:
azure resource delete testRG MyUbuntuVM Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines -o "2015-06-15"
To move existing resources to another resource group or subscription, use the azure resource move command. The following example shows how to move a Redis Cache to a new resource group. In the -i parameter, provide a comma-separated list of the resource id's to move.
azure resource move -i "/subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/OldRG/providers/Microsoft.Cache/Redis/examplecache" -d "NewRG"
Control access to resources
You can use the Azure CLI to create and manage policies to control access to Azure resources. For background about policy definitions and assigning policies to resources, see Use policy to manage resources and control access.
For example, define the following policy to deny all requests where location is not West US or North Central US, and save it to the policy definition file policy.json:
"if" : {
"not" : {
"field" : "location",
"in" : ["westus" , "northcentralus"]
"then" : {
"effect" : "deny"
Then run the policy definition create command:
azure policy definition create MyPolicy -p c:\temp\policy.json
This command shows output similar to the following:
+ Creating policy definition MyPolicy
data: PolicyName: MyPolicy
data: PolicyDefinitionId: /subscriptions/########-####-####-####-############/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/MyPolicy
data: PolicyType: Custom
data: DisplayName: undefined
data: Description: undefined
data: PolicyRule: field=location, in=[westus, northcentralus], effect=deny
To assign a policy at the scope you want, use the PolicyDefinitionId returned from the previous command. In the following example, this scope is the subscription, but you can scope to resource groups or individual resources:
azure policy assignment create MyPolicyAssignment -p /subscriptions/########-####-####-####-############/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/MyPolicy -s /subscriptions/########-####-####-####-############/
You can get, change, or remove policy definitions by using the policy definition show, policy definition set, and policy definition delete commands.
Similarly, you can get, change, or remove policy assignments by using the policy assignment show, policy assignment set, and policy assignment delete commands.
Export a resource group as a template
For an existing resource group, you can view the Resource Manager template for the resource group. Exporting the template offers two benefits:
- You can easily automate future deployments of the solution because all the infrastructure is defined in the template.
- You can become familiar with template syntax by looking at the JSON that represents your solution.
Using the Azure CLI, you can either export a template that represents the current state of your resource group, or download the template that was used for a particular deployment.
Export the template for a resource group - This is helpful when you made changes to a resource group, and need to retrieve the JSON representation of its current state. However, the generated template contains only a minimal number of parameters and no variables. Most of the values in the template are hard-coded. Before deploying the generated template, you may wish to convert more of the values into parameters so you can customize the deployment for different environments.
To export the template for a resource group to a local directory, run the
azure group exportcommand as shown in the following example. (Substitute a local directory appropriate for your operating system environment.)
azure group export testRG ~/azure/templates/
Download the template for a particular deployment -- This is helpful when you need to view the actual template that was used to deploy resources. The template includes all parameters and variables defined for the original deployment. However, if someone in your organization made changes to the resource group outside of the definition in the template, this template doesn't represent the current state of the resource group.
To download the template used for a particular deployment to a local directory, run the
azure group deployment template downloadcommand. For example:
azure group deployment template download TestRG testRGDeploy ~/azure/templates/downloads/
Template export is in preview, and not all resource types currently support exporting a template. When attempting to export a template, you may see an error that states some resources were not exported. If needed, manually define these resources in your template after downloading it.
Next steps

2005-02-24 at 9:45:00 am #10504Hewlett-Packard posts flat quarterly earnings
'There is work to be done,' says interim
SAN JOSE, Calif.-A week after firing its top executive, Hewlett-Packard Co. reported quarterly
earnings that were essentially flat, and its interim chief executive
acknowledged, "There is work to be done."
For the three
months ended Jan. 31, H-P reported a profit of $943 million, or 32 cents per
share, only 0.7 percent higher than the $936 million, or 30 cents per share, it
earned in the first fiscal quarter of 2004.
Excluding special
items, including at least $115 million to settle patent litigation with
Intergraph Corp., H-P would have earned 37 cents per share, compared with 35
cents per share in the same period a year earlier.
Quarterly revenue
was a record $21.5 billion, up 10 percent from $19.5 billion in the same quarter
a year ago. But when adjusted for currency fluctuations around the world,
revenue increased only 5 percent from a year ago, said interim CEO Robert
H-P's quarterly
performance beat expectations of analysts polled by Thomson First Call, who
forecast Palo Alto, Calif.-based H-P would earn 34 cents per share on sales of
nearly $21 billion.
H-P shares closed
Wednesday at $21.06, down 6 cents on the New York Stock Exchange. In extended
trading, the shares gained 72 cents, or 3.4 percent, after the report was
earnings came one week after H-P's board ousted Chairman and Chief Executive
Carly Fiorina for failing to slash costs and boost sales quickly
In recent months,
Fiorina — one of the country's most powerful women executives — became the
target of intensifying criticism for her ambitious diversification strategy.
Through the 2002 acquisition of Compaq Computer Corp., she attempted to change
H-P from a marginal company that focused on printers and ink into a Silicon
Valley consulting and computing powerhouse.
Despite her
efforts, ink and printers continue to drive revenue. The "imaging" division
reported first-quarter sales of $12.9 billion, up 7 percent from the same period
of 2004.
Given the sharply
declining profit margins of printers and other low-end hardware, some Wall
Street analysts have been suggesting shareholders might be better off if H-P
were split into two or more pieces.
Most analysts
polled Wednesday by Thomson First Call continued to rate H-P stock a "hold," and
share performance lags that of H-P's fiercest rivals: Dell Inc., one of the
world's most efficient retailers, and IBM Corp., the leader in technology
consulting services — a lucrative niche H-P is trying to penetrate.
Analysts said they
remain skeptical about H-P's prospects, regardless of the next CEO. The company
is in a similar position to beleaguered retailer Kmart Holding Corp., whose
profits are squeezed between high-end discounter Target Corp. and Wal-Mart
Stores Inc., a model of retail efficiency.
"The strategy that
H-P was running with Carly was trying to drive margins up in every business
group, and that strategy has clearly failed," said Martin Reynolds, vice
president of technology research firm Gartner Inc. "The board needs to move on
and come up with something other than a horizontal strategy."
Wayman, who is also
H-P's chief financial officer, would not discuss succession — only quarterly
results, which he called "solid." He was particularly pleased with a record $3.8
billion in revenue from consulting contracts, an increase of 20 percent from the
same quarter a year ago.
But he acknowledged
that the company was under pressure to perform better. He said revenue for the
upcoming quarter, which ends in April, would be at least $21.2 billion, similar
to Wall Street's expectations.
He also said the
company would continue to slash expenses — possibly escalating a cost-cutting
campaign that earned Fiorina the moniker "Chainsaw Carly" throughout Silicon
The company reduced
research and development costs to $878 million in the first quarter from $889
million in the same quarter of 2004 — a risky move for any company in the
fiercely competitive technology sector. "General and administrative" costs —
which include expenses such as legal fees and consultants — swelled to $2.7
billion, up from $2.58 billion in the same period last year.
Wayman wouldn't say
how many people would be laid off this year at H-P, which ended 2004 with
roughly 150,000 employees. But the company spent roughly $60 million in the
fiscal first quarter on work force reduction plans,and it plans to spend as
much as $140 million more in the current quarter.
"While we continue
to make progress in growing our top line, there is work to be done to improve
our profitability," Wayman said."As the board conducts a CEO search, our
management team is focused on driving improved execution to serve our customers,
strengthen our competitiveness and improve shareholder
value."_______________________________________________Better than expected Q1 at HP
February 2005 – Palo Alto (CA):
Hewlett-Packard has reported higher-than-expected revenue for its Q1 combined
with a positive sales outlook, just one week after the departure of its CEO
Carly Fiorina.
The company posted a net income of $943 million, or EPS
of $0.32, up less than 1 per cent from $936 million, or EPS of $0.30 a year ago.
Revenue increased by 10 per cent to $21.5 billion, ahead of Wall Street
estimates of $20.9 billion.
Particularly notable was the company's
improved profitability in its PC business, reflecting the its recent decision to
up profitability in the sector rather than market share. Sales rose 11 per cent
to $6.9 billion.
CFO Bob Wayman said: "While we continue to make
progress in growing our top line, there is work to so to improve our
Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein &
Co told The Wall Street Journal he believed the results were "mostly
positive"."Fear of HP throwing in the towel or of losing material business will
be mitigated,"he added.
The company has disclosed little information on
its search for a new CEO.

Air pollution linked to wheat diseases
Wheat is vulnerable to fungal maladies, known as septoria-blotch diseases, that reduce the ability of the plants' leaves to carry out photosynthesis. For reasons unknown, the relative roles played by the two fungi that cause these diseases—Phaeosphaeria nodorum and Mycosphaerella graminicola—vary from country to country and from decade to decade.
To examine possible factors behind these variations, plant pathologist Bart A. Fraaije of Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, England, and his colleagues tested a library of wheat samples grown on a British farm and archived for most years since 1843. For each year, the team identified which pathogen's DNA was more plentiful.

A military investigation into the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha last November has found evidence that Marines involved in the incident appear to have destroyed or withheld evidence, according to a report in The New York Times.
The information, supplied by two Defense Department officials briefed on the case, includes evidence that an official company logbook of the unit involved had been tampered with and that an incriminating video taken by an aerial drone the day of the killings was not immediately given to investigators.
The findings are from a long report that was completed last month but has not yet been made public. They go beyond what has been previously reported about the case, which included earlier findings that the Marines who were involved in the killings made misleading statements to investigators and that senior officers were not aggressive enough in investigating the case. The report is the first time it has been suggested that evidence was concealed or possibly destroyed, though it does not directly accuse the Marines of attempting a cover-up.
The findings have been sent on to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which is investigating members of the unit involved in the killings and higher-ranking officers in the Second Marine Division. No charges have been filed. A decision regarding disciplinary action will be made by the Marine Corps commander in Iraq based on a review of the report and the results of an ongoing criminal investigation.
The report found that pages were missing from the logbook — a daily record of major incidents encountered by the Marines — specifically, all the pages from November 19, the day of the killings. Investigators were also initially told by Marine officers that videotape taken by the drone was not available, an official told the Times. The tape was produced only after the chief investigator, Major General Eldon Bargewell, had completed his inquiry and the Marines were again asked to produce it by Lieutenant General Peter Chiarelli, the second-ranking commander in Iraq. Though the footage from the drone was limited, it appears to contradict the Marines' account that five of the Iraqis were shot as they were running away after setting a roadside bomb (see "Military Inquiry Contradicts Marines Account Of Haditha Deaths").
Officials who viewed the video said it showed the bodies of the five Iraqis on the ground close to the car they had been riding in. At one point it also appears to show one body stacked on top of another, which officials said was inconsistent with an account that the men had been shot while running away.
The report, which faulted officers in the Second Marine Division for not aggressively investigating the Haditha killings, also said the commanders created a climate that minimized the importance of Iraqi lives, particularly in the insurgent stronghold of Haditha, the Times reported.
"In their eyes, they didn't believe anyone was innocent," said one official, describing the attitude of the Marines in the unit toward Iraqis. "Either you were an active participant, or you were complicit."

The Seppun Guest Home housed honored visitors and high-standing resident members of the Seppun family in the Forbidden City, [1] surrounded by chrysanthemum gardens and intricate waterfalls. Few Imperials lived there, as most had Hantei blood and might live in the Imperial Palace itself. [2]
Seppun Dojo Edit
The majority of the building had been given to the Seppun dojo. Entrance into the Seppun dojo required an invitation. [2] The Seppun were wholly devoted to the safety of the Emperor and the study of the Tao of Shinsei. Although their station in Rokugan allowed them access to resources other families would exploit, the Seppun had no use for power. They were a sect of pious warriors who exemplified all that it meaned to be a dutiful samurai. Throughout history the Emperor had placed faith in the Seppun to protect him and filled the Imperial Legions. [3]
Training Edit
Their training instilled in them a deep reverence for the Emperor and the lessons of the Tao. The Seppun Miharu were taught to protect their charge at all costs, and they would gladly sacrifice themselves if it came to it. They were taught to resist the impurities of the corrupt, including the Shadowlands and the Living Shadow, as well as other influences such as sake and opium. [3]

For all those who think superhero movies are too subtle and restrained, let's throw in a little Giacchino!
Okay, I now can't watch a TV or film series finale without mentally humming "Moving On." But even I couldn't have predicted that "moving on" would be the theme of The Dark Knight Rises - to the point where the hero's love interest - a long-haired brunette fugitive, of course - literally seeks a macguffin called "Clean Slate" (when finally offered it, she says, "I don't even know how to get off this island.") To the point where mobility is frequently mentioned and the hero must first overcome a leg injury, and then a crippling spinal injury!
Many sagas end with the hero sacrificing himself, but this movie began with the hero already open to dying, leaving his eventual decision to choose life a satisfying twist. Few stories go this path - but Lost kind of did too, with Jack attempting suicide two weeks before his eventual death. This was one reason Jack's death originally disappointed me; he seemed to simply give in to the death he'd been seeking.
But the difference lies in the motive for dying. Bruce opens himself to defeat because he has nothing worth living for, and he later regains his appreciation of life. Jack too sees nothing worth living for, but specifically because he correctly imagines that he's turned his back on his destiny. He eventually sacrifices himself because he has discovered the calling he'd previously lacked, and when he died, there's a (tearful) smile on his face.

HKFA defends costly soccer project as questions raised over results
Lawmaker calls on sport authorities and government to explain Project Phoenix's effectiveness three years on
A Hong Kong Football Association official has once again come to the defence of a controversial HK$60 million programme aimed at reviving local soccer, amid match-fixing allegations and other problems plaguing the sport.
Association vice-chairman Pui Kwan-kay acknowledged concerns over whether the publicly funded Project Phoenix had been effective in revamping local soccer three years since its launch.
"Our intentions were good but when putting things into practice, there are always problems," Pui said in a local radio interview.
He reiterated that it would take time for the programme to produce tangible results despite the fact only 15 of the 33 promised initiatives in the project has since been achieved.
More than HK$20 million a year in taxpayer money has been injected under the initiative since it was launched in 2009. In the original proposal, the association said Hong Kong soccer was in a "paradoxical state" as the game was seen as the city's "national sport" but interest in domestic football was declining.
The 130-page Project Phoenix proposal in 2009 provided an assessment of the sport's health in Hong Kong and listed several recommendations for study, including allocating "home" grounds to each First Division team, restructuring the HKFA to put it back on firm financial footing and agreeing on criteria for establishing a new professional soccer league, and encouraging education programmes for young players.
The project also pledged to provide more funding to district and representative teams, provide greater support to youth soccer, and organise more international matches for the Hong Kong team.
A new "national" soccer training centre in Tseung Kwan O was also tabled. But despite already being promised funding from the Jockey Club, Pui says the HKFA have yet to come up with a timetable for it to be built.
"It will take time to produce results and nurture talent in the sport. Two to three years is not enough," Pui said.
Democratic Party lawmaker Helena Wong Pik-wan wrote to the chairman of the Legislative Council's home affairs panel, Ma Fung-kwok, on Tuesday urging him to invite relevant government officials and the HKFA for a committee meeting to shed light on the recent scandals.
She also demanded the government explain how has the HK$20 million-a-year Phoenix Project has helped revive Hong Kong soccer.
Associate professor Lobo Louie Hung-tak of Baptist University's physical education department said the programme was at risk of being lumped in with the recent spate of corruption scandals in the local soccer league.
He pointed out that the some initiatives, such as those to promote youth soccer, had been done relatively well.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) arrested about 10 players of First Division team Happy Valley on Sunday night after a 5-0 loss against Sunray Cave Sun Hei at Tsing Yi.
The ICAC has so far refused to comment on the case but it is understood the players are being investigated for alleged match-fixing.
Happy Valley's problems come just one month another First Division team, Tuen Mun, was accused of throwing a match after their defender Li Ming headed an own goal to lose the match 2-1 to Yokohama last month.
Pui, who is also chairman of Happy Valley, said the club's board is closely monitoring the situation and will work closely with the ICAC.
