RedHat patches vs open source patches
I recently converted to RH Linux 9.0 and am confused about patching.
For example, if I run a web server and have OpenSSL on my system and want to upgrade OpenSSL, I get the latest updates from RedHat using up2date. After running up2date my OpenSSL shows as version 0.9.7a-33.12, however Openssl.org shows that the latest secure version of Openssl is 0.9.7d.
I know RedHat does their own weird update names so that 0.9.7a-33.12 is SUPPOSED to be the same as the open source 0.9.7d. But how can I tell? If openssl.org claims that anything below 0.9.7d is vulnerable, and RedHat says 0.9.7a-33.12 is the latest and greatest version, how do I know 0.9.7a-33.12 contains the security fixes in 0.9.7d? I'm trying to find out an easy way here, because this issue apparently applies to other software as well and I don't know if I can just take RedHat's word for it that all security fixes are in their updates.
Basically it's that there's frequently a difference in the focus of release depending on where it comes from. Redhat will focus largely on stability and security, and while of course a package like openSSL is implictly about security, they will be introducing new features etc... So Redhat will take a step back and sepnd time a a particular release they like, and work on it until *they* think it's stable enough for their type of customer, which more and more recently is mid to high end businesses. So they'll back port exploit fixes and other individually submitted patches that they approve of, but there will be parts in the newer official releases that they can't test as much, and so will wait for it to mature before taking that release on board.
mind you... Redhat releases and still very much open source...

Retiring the "Bad Teacher" Boogeyman
"I support our teachers, but my daughter was traumatized by an unfirable 1st grade teacher," so read a tweet I received after expressing concern that Vergara v. California decision – which declared K-12 teacher tenure unconstitutional for violating the civil rights of students – had nothing to do with civil rights, little to do with students, and everything to do with the continued efforts to privatize public education. If you publicly critiqued the Vergara verdict, you no doubt received a similar reply, which I've described by the following equation, dubbed VAM [Vergara Attack Method]:
Compliment of teachers in general ["I love teachers"]
– [BUT] there are "bad teachers"
+ vague and/or extreme personal anecdote about "bad teacher"
= you must be a "bad teacher" and hate children if you support tenure or any other rights for teachers. Also, you are against civil rights, likely a socialist, and most definitely are destroying the economy.
Rhetorically, it's almost impossible to respond to VAM – Who can disagree that there are "bad teachers?" Who wants a child to be subjected to such a horrible person? Who wants a child to be traumatized?
VAM works especially well when coupled with civil rights rhetoric, as I wrote about in my last essay "A Tale of Two Vergaras: Of Stardom and the End of Teacher Tenure." Who could be against civil rights? And so, in a masterful rhetorical twist, if you're for tenure, you're also against helping impoverished minority children – you're standing in the way of equality. In more advanced versions of VAM, civil rights rhetoric is seamlessly connected with fixing the sagging economy as we see in an op-ed in USA Today claiming "There is no war on teachers." The author assures us that there is "no such war," and that if anything, the focus is on firing just a "very small minority of teachers" who are not just harming children, but according to his calculations, would actually fix our current financial crisis:
The gains according to historical economic patterns would be measured in trillions of dollars and would be sufficient to solve our national fiscal problems as well as the vexing income distribution issues currently being debated.
Yes, that's right – firing this "small minority of bad teachers" will ultimately create trillions of dollars for the economy, along with solving civil rights. It's a magic bullet – one that just needs be fired in right direction, towards "bad teachers."
In short, VAM rhetorically checkmates those who are critical of the Vergara decision. This pervasive linguistic trick pins all of the nation's problems not on teachers (who are wonderful), but on those "bad teachers," who are destroying lives, destroying civil rights, and destroying the economy. No wonder, in the exact same issue of USA Today, a shocking ad illustrates a teacher throwing a child into a garbage can – and this doesn't seem an act of war, given the current zeitgeist. After all, it's only about "bad teachers" – not you. You're a good teacher – that is, unless you think tenure is acceptable. In which case, what do you have to hide? Who are you protecting?
Outside of the outlandish, ill-supported leaps in logic which are now in the realm of "common sense", the biggest problem VAM, though, is the impossibly vague term "bad teacher," or the slightly more technical sounding, but equally meaningless "grossly ineffective teacher," which Judge Treu used in his decision. Since the propaganda documentary Waiting for Superman, the "bad teacher boogeyman" has been in heavy linguistic circulation, which I noted in my 2010 essay "The Myth of the Bad Teacher:"
The Bad Teacher is no one specific, but rather, a sort of free-floating, ill-defined stereotype: he is an inept, uncaring, self-interested bureaucrat waiting for his pension, not only disinterested in students, but actively engaged in standing in the way of student achievement, rather than encouraging it. I imagine the Bad Teacher as slovenly dressed, with stains on his shirt, showing up to class late, and once there, reading the newspaper while his students throw paper airplanes at each other. He looks up at the clock occasionally, waiting for his time to be up in order get out of school as fast as possible, so he can get home and watch "Glee" on his plump, faux-leather couch. Or he could be a really "Bad Teacher," such as the one soon to be depicted in a 2011 movie of the same name, which is focused on a "foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague – a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher."
In essence, the "bad teacher" is a not just a basic strawman, but a hologram, an insubstantial projection of whoever you want him to be, whatever you – or your child – perceives him to be. He could be lazy; he could only lecture (or only use group work); he could be physically abusive; he could not know his content; he could take controversial positions; he could be a hard grader (or too easy of a grader). Indeed, at the college level (where I teach), high teacher ratings are highly correlated with teachers that give less work and higher grades, according to a recent study. In some cases – such as assigning "too much homework", being called a "bad teacher" would be a compliment, in that the educator might actually being doing her job.
"In hundreds of classrooms, I have never seen a 'grossly ineffective' teacher," Dr. David Berliner says in a must-read Slate article, an expert whose testimony was primary evidence in Judge Treu's decision. "I don't know anybody who knows what that means."
And this is a professor who has spent his career exploring teacher quality, and was asked to testify on the other VAM – Value-Added-Measures, a statistical measure which uses standardized test scores to rate teachers. VAM gives the comforting illusion of objectivity so cherished by education reformers. But this method, also, has major limitations – the American Statistical Association cautioned use of this measure. Further, even if these metrics work very well at showing growth in a particular area of learning in a particular subject, they don't show a lot of the attributes that educators – and lay-people – would associate with "good" teacher. Berliner observes (as paraphrased by reporter Jordan Weissman) "low test scores [don't] qualify somebody as a bad teacher. They might do other things well in the classroom that don't show up on an exam, like teach social skills, or inspire their students to love reading or math." Indeed, a teacher can have great test scores – but could have earned them through abusive methods, ones which make the student great at test taking, but not learn anything about the subject, and hate it to boot.
Thus, a "grossly ineffective teacher" could be inspiring, could be challenging, could be wonderful. In short, this "bad teacher" could be any of us – especially those of us who believe that the current set of reforms that are focused on standardized testing and curriculum are harmful to students. Indeed, our very best teachers – those who stand up to the intense pressure from parents and students to be "easy," those who refuse to submit their students to the testing regime that kills the love of learning – could be labeled as our very worst. As a case in point: one of the teachers accused of being a "bad teacher" in the Vergara case was Pasadena Teacher of the Year, and received numerous teaching awards.
What message is Vergara sending to committed, competent educators, those who love children, and who hate what NCLB and Race to the Top is doing to those children?
Now, don't get it twisted: this is not a defense of child-molesters or otherwise horrible people; it's not a defense of poor practices, such as giving worksheets to students every day (which is encouraged under the standardized testing regime). Nor is it a defense of the "status quo" – which, need I remind readers, is No Child Left Behind, which most teachers abhor. To defend tenure – due process in a highly-politicized workplace – is not to defend whatever horrible projection of "bad teacher" the reader has conjured.
Please, don't VAM this essay.
And please, as the post-Vergara dust settles, as we've gotten our rants out of the system, let's retire the "bad teacher" – in all its euphemistic forms. Rather, let's work to foster constructive, explicit discussions about what it means to be an excellent educator – not just in terms of outcomes (which are framed in the most limited, unimaginative way under the current regime), but in terms of the actual practices that happen in the classroom, and as critically, the environment in which our teachers teach and students learn. Keep in mind, California is first in poverty (and in billionaires) in the nation – and discussions of "bad teachers" allow us to avoid substantial conversations about the impact of inequality on our children.
In letting the "bad teacher" go, we'll find educators and the public – which are one in the same, remember – have shared interests and goals, despite the best efforts of corporate reformers to undermine public confidence, and put us in conflict with each other. In this fashion, we will repair the damage done by Vergara, and more broadly by the corporate reform movement, which has used VAM (both of them) to disrupt and destabilize the public commons to maintain the real status quo – of massive economic inequality and top-down elite control, which is the primary cause of the civil rights and economic emergency in our schools.

$200.00 – $400.00
Optionally, you can purchase the actual nuc hive box in which these bees are currently being raised. The nuc box doubles as a harvest box, which is great for storing your bars that are full of honey.
A nucleus colony is where we keep your bees for 1 to 2 months and give them love, attention, and lots of food. We ensure your bees get a good start so they are ready for transfer into your Beepod right on the comb.
All you need to do is decide if you want only want the colony and the comb ($200) or if you want the whole thing: the colony, the comb AND the hive box ($400). If only the colony and comb is purchased and you already own a Beepods nuc box / harvest box, Beepods will trade your existing harvest box in for a new harvest box free of charge (we would just need to ensure the same number of bars are exchanged in the process). If no bars will be returned to us during the exchange, an additional $25 fee will be assessed).
This can be a better choice for beekeepers who are just getting started with beekeeping.
Nucleus colonies are available for pickup and delivery in Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Synopsis for "Night of the Dark God"Edit
Conan, feeling a longing for home has ridden straight through to Cimmeria and his home village, which he discovers has recently been raided by Vanir and a childhood friend taken. He tracks the Vanir and borrows a boat from a fisherman to finish the journey to the Isle of Swords. He finds an boatload of dead Picts floating on the sea, and takes a surprisingly lightweight statue he finds on board with him on his journey. Finally, he reaches the Isle of Swords and begins to spy on the Vanir encampment. The Vanir find his boat and take the statute to their camp, but for them, the statue is impossibly heavy. Conan makes his way into the camp, killing witnesses, until he finds the drinking-hall, where Mara is about to be an unwilling bride to the brigands' leader, Thorfel. Before anyone can act, though, Mara steals Thorfel's dagger and plunges it into her chest. Enraged, Conan bursts from hiding and begins to slaughter the brigands. The odds begin to turn against the barbarian, until the doors burst open and the hall is full of the dead Pict sailors, resurrected by the Dark God statue that sits in the hall. Conan is free to find and kill Thorfel, then he sails quietly away.

There is much voice and many rumours about Sanjay Dutt's re entry to bollywood. He finished his jail sentence for accusing of having weapons in mumbai blasts and he recently came back to his house just few days back. Putting the fullstop to the rumours, there was an official announcement about his next film. it is with director Omung Kumar. The film is titled Bhoomi. The release date of Sanjay Dutt's comeback film Bhoomi has been also announced. Directed by Omung Kumar, Bhoomi will hit the screens on 4 August 2017.
Sanjay Dutt is making grand comeback to bollywood after stepping out from the jail. Directed Omung Kumar is well known for his style of making films, he has earlier directed well appreciated films like Mary Kom and Sarbjit. Omung Kumar has recently said that "Bhoomi is an emotional, revenge drama that centres around the relationship between a father and daughter."
Sanjay Dutt's Bhoomi to clash with Aamir Khan's Secret Superstar
But this film will be clashing with Aamir Khan's home production Secret Superstar. Aamir khan will have a Cameo in this film too. Aamir Khan Productions is known for the quality of film making. earlier there were critically appreciated films like Delhi Belly. so This decision of Bhoomi's release date seems to be very risky as aamir khan productions have a 100% success record at the box office.
And to everybody's surprise, just a week away, that is on 11 August is booked by Shahrukh Khan-Imtiaz Ali's next prestigious project. Recently Salman khan Announced this film on his twitter handle. Thus this will be an interesting thing to know who will move back.

I look out the window. It is autumn, the red and orange leaves have already fallen to the ground, though
there are a few who stubbornly cling to the branches of trees. I see the tables covered in lacy white
table-cloths, which hold mouth-watering food that the cooks have been preparing for months. I see the
handmade wooden benches that have been sanded until they were smooth, so when the guests sit, they
will not be pricked by a splinter.
I see the two thrones that are also handmade and made out of wood, carved with the symbols of my
country and kingdom, garlands of flowers draped over the tops, making the thrones look woodsy yet
elegant at the same time.
And I see the area where my fiancé and I will stand. Orange and red flowers have been purposely
dropped upon the ground, forming a square where we will stand along with the preacher. As I
gaze at the beautiful décor, noting that everything is so perfect, I feel a twinge of despair in my stomach.
I do not want this wedding. I do not want to marry Prince Roman. This is all my parents' careful
planning. They have been planning this wedding for years, from the day I was born.
My kingdom has wanted a union with the kingdom of Daemeon for a long time, and my being a
girl perfected their wish. All they had needed to do was convince the king of Daemeon to allow me
to marry his son, Prince Roman.
It had not been long before we received the acceptance letter, declaring that the king of Daemeon
agreed to a marriage between the two kingdoms.
And that is when I became engaged.
It is not like I have not expected this. I know that being a princess and the heir to the kingdom
makes this marriage a priority; something I cannot escape from. But everything will be better if I
actually know Prince Roman.
Yes, of course, we have met each other a few times. Before the engagement, when we were younger,
we would occasionally visit one another. And after the engagement, we saw
each other once again, though the circumstances were much different than the last times.
So, yes, I know who Prince Roman is. A handsome man who is heir to the throne. A regular prince.
Yet, I know nothing about him besides the basics. What's his favorite color? What does he like to do
with his spare time? What are his hopes and dreams? What would he do if he had not been born a
prince? So many little things that I wish I know.
I briefly wonder if Prince Roman thinks the same thing. Does he wish to know the real me, the one
that is hidden behind makeup and fake smiles? Does he wish to know the wild, reckless Arianne? The
one who does not follow the rules, the one who acts like an utter fool?
I wish I knew her, too. All my life, I have been taught to do things correctly, to never fail, to always
be the perfect daughter, the perfect princess, even if it means living a life of lies and depression. I
have never had actual fun, have never let loose, and release all the tension that weighs me down.
I have never been truly free.
And I never expect to be.
Despite my worry and regret, I realize that this is my last day. My last day to prove to my parents that
I am worthy. All my life, I feel like I have failed them, have disappointed them. I feel like they did not
truly trust me, did not truly believe in me, did not truly accept the fact that I am an obedient, perfect
daughter. All my life, I tried to prove to them that there was no reason to be ashamed of me.
It's all my brother's fault.
I grip the windowsill tightly, hard enough that my fingers go white from the lack of blood, from the
intense pressure I am pressing against the windowsill.
When my older brother was sixteen, I had been thirteen. I will not go into grave detail, but let us just
say, my brother was rebellious, and defied my parents, and then disappeared without a trace. I have
not seen or heard from him since, and it has been four years.
When my brother rebelliously left, my parents did not want anyone to know of such a scandalous act.
So they lied—they said he had died. An accident. Everyone had been shocked, but willingly mourned for
the loss of the prince. To continue the deceit, my parents crowned me heir.
I feel like that is why my parents do not trust me, do not truly care for me—because of my brother.
Because he earned their trust, and then he just lost it, just embarrassed and humiliated them. And now
he has left me unloved.
I had been so close to my brother. He was my best friend. So when he disappeared, I was a mixture—
hate and fear. Hate, because he had to go and act so stupid, and fear, because he was my brother, and
I worried for his safety and wellbeing.
I do not know if he is alive, or dead—yet, despite my hatred for him that has steadily grown over the
years, I still miss and think of him often.
I suck in a deep breath. The dress I wear is white and heavy, it drags against the ground. My arms
and shoulders are bare, and though the rest of me is covered, I feel exposed. The bodice is so tight,
purposely done so to show how slim I am, though I fear I will faint from lack of oxygen.
My hair that is as black as midnight itself is in a tight bun. During the ceremony, Prince Roman will
undo my hair, and my tresses will fall down upon my back.
I finger the necklace I wear. It is an odd choice, and does not match my gown at all, but I refuse to
wear any other necklace. You see, the old key had been tossed aside as unimportant, no one had
wanted, no one even knew what it went to. I took it, it became mine, and I now have a fondness for
the ancient-looking key, rusted and old.
My mother and her flocks of maids pretty much despaired when they saw the necklace I chose, and
tried to convince me to wear pearls, or diamonds. "That old key is simple, whereas your gown is just
exquisite!" my mother had declared. I knew that. "I am marrying a complete stranger, the least you
can do is allow me to wear a necklace of my choosing," I had hissed, and that quieted her. She and
her maids know how stubborn I am, and dropped the subject.
I watch as the guests arrive. Slowly, one by one, everyone on the lists arrive, settling down on the
benches, talking conversationally, not a worry in their mind. Unlike me, a jumble of nerves. I force
myself to stop trembling. When I marry Prince Roman, I intend to do it perfectly, not a single mishap,
and perhaps that will please my parents, make them proud, since this is my last chance to show them
I need to show them that I am nothing like their son—I am nothing like my brother.
I see that everyone has arrived. I count the people, recall most of the names, and when I spot the
preacher wearing his robes, I know that the time has come. Prince Roman, and his parents, and some
of the people from his kingdom—most likely the important people—have already arrived, and are just
waiting for all of this to begin.
When I hear a knock on the door, I jump, startled, and turn around. The door opens, not waiting for
a response from me.
I see that it is my Godmother Susieanne. You see, every royal child is given a Godmother—someone
to help them, guide them, they do many things. Apparently, my brother's Godmother did a terrible job
of teaching respect and responsibility.
Her lips are in a straight line, her expression firm, blank, emotionless. Some Godmother's are secretly
kind and considerate. I had been hoping for one like that, for someone who would tuck me in bed,
would tell me bedtime stories, would just be there for me, since most kings and queens were never
there for their children.
But I have been burdened with a grumpy one who seems to have no emotion besides anger and
Her hands are clasped in front of her, and seeing her hands makes me wince. Whenever I slump,
she would slap me hard. Whenever I do something wrong, I receive a punishment of some kind.
Godmother Susieanne is strict, stern—she isn't about to stop being rough just because of me sobbing.
She would slap me and say, "Princesses do not cry when one is around. They do so in private, for Royals
are supposed to be perfect—no one can see them imperfect."
Sadly, that is true. Everyone believes someone of royalty to be perfect, no worries at all, living a
dream-life. Yet those sayings are so untrue. We grieve, we are burdened with stress and depression,
we are often tired, tired of our worries and problems, tired of our difficult lives.
But just as Godmother Susieanne says, no one can see a Royal imperfect.
As I stand there, uncomfortable under her scrutiny, I think, no "It's going to be okay?" no, "Don't you
worry." Nothing comforting. No words of reassurance. All I receive is, "It is time." At her announcement
that the time has come, my stomach is suddenly a tight ball of nerves.
I run my sweaty palms down my dress, and nod, staring at my gown, not meeting my Godmother's
gaze. She walks over to the table which holds my veil. It is tradition for the Godmother to place the
veil. The veil is white and lacy, with a red and orange flower pushed together on the side.
An odd choice, but I am having a fall wedding. Everything has to be the same colors as the season.
I bend down slightly, because I am taller than Godmother Susieanne. She places the veil upon my
head, adjusting it, her fingers brushing against my hair. I wait until she steps back, before straightening.
She squints at me, before handing me a bouquet of red and orange flowers, including some colorful
leaves that match the theme. She moves towards the door. "Come," she beckons me to follow her.
I look over my shoulder, gazing at my reflection in the mirror one last time. My lips have been painted
a bright pink—my eyelids have been brushed with beautiful colors. I really do look beautiful, I admit.
"Princess Arianne, come," Godmother Susieanne says sharply. I look away, and obey, keeping my head
"Keep your head up while your father leads you to Prince Roman," Godmother Susieanne instructs
me, though I have already heard this. She has told me what to do, what to expect. I am tired of her
reviews, and I just wish she will be quiet, so I can listen to my sorrowful thoughts.
"Princess Arianne, are you listening?" Godmother Susieanne snaps, and I look up. "Yes?" She
sighs impatiently, as if my ignoring her is just the end of the world. There are worse things in life
than someone not listening to you, I think, irritated.
I clasp my sweaty hands together, and I cannot wait until we are outside in the cool weather, where
the air can caress my sweaty skin. My heels click against the floor. When we reach the heavy two-double
doors, Godmother Susieanne turns to face me. Her face contorts into a frown as she scans my sweaty
She mumbles under her breath as she pulls a handkerchief out of her pocket, and begins to dab at my
damp skin. I am blushing, because there are two guards by the doors. They respectfully keep their gaze
elsewhere, yet I am still mortified.
When Godmother Susieanne is satisfied, she steps back. "Are you ready?" she asks me, and I nod
mutely. I do not think I will ever be ready.
Godmother Susieanne nods to the two guards, and they push open the doors. Immediately, a trumpet
blows one note, before violins take over, playing a beautiful melody that slightly calm down my shot
The guests stand, and all eyes turn upon me. Godmother Susieanne nudges me, reminding me to
move, and I do so, keeping my head tall. Godmother Susieanne walks beside me, until we reach my
father, who is waiting for me.
I see mother standing near the preacher, and my fiancé, but I do not look at Prince Roman. I keep my
eyes on father, who holds out his arm. I place my arm through the crook of his elbow, and we begin to
walk past the benches, towards the square of flowers.
The decorations of red and orange flowers, and leaves, really do fit the theme.
All of this is beautiful—yet I am too nervous to enjoy it. I glance at my father—his posture is stiff, and
he is staring straight ahead of him. Here I am, about to marry, and I will be gone to a different kingdom,
a different country. Is he sad to see me go? I am his little girl. I am the one who took my brother's place
after he left.
Can he and mother not be proud of me, at least for just this one day?
I keep my emotions bottled inside of me, hold back the tears of disappointment.
I feel like a failure—yet my mind says encouragingly, you did not fail them. Your bother did, and then
they immediately thought the same of you. They knew that you and your brother were close, and that
made them think you were going to be rebellious. And even though you never did, they never allowed
themselves to care for you, to be proud of you.
Right. This is all my brother's fault.
I have been so lost in thought, I do not realize we have stopped until I feel lips press stiffly against my
cheek. Mother is standing beside him now and she kisses my other cheek. Tradition. This entire
wedding is full of traditions.
I look at them both. Is mother sad to see me go? I am her only daughter, after all. But I see no sadness
in her eyes. In fact, she and father's faces are blank, emotionless. The masks they wear, the walls they
have built up, keep me locked out of their true emotions.
I turn away from them. If they are going to treat me cruelly, why can I not do the same for them?
I hand the bouquet to my mother, without looking at her. I can give them the cold treatment.
She takes it. She and father then walk over to their assigned seats, the beautiful thrones. I feel a hand
lightly touch mine, and I turn to look at Prince Roman. "It's okay," he whispers to me, taking my hand
in his. At least someone will tell me comforting, reassuring things.
As I face him, I realize that Prince Roman is not that bad. Yes, he is a complete stranger, but, he is
nice. Every time I meet him, he is polite and considerate, and thoughtful. I cannot see him as an angry
man who will hurt me. His blonde hair shines, his eyes sparkle, and I realize that he is very handsome
with a muscular body. Charm seems to radiate off of him.
He smiles at me, as if he knows I am studying him, and I cannot stop the blush that overcomes me.
"You may be seated," he tells the guests, and they all sit, their clothing making rustling sounds.
Prince Roman holds both of my hands, and we listen to the preacher as he begins to the ceremony.
Well, I half-way listen. Whenever he wants me to say or do something, I obediently do so. But when my
name is not mentioned, I go into a daze.
Prince Roman wraps lace around my wrists gently, holding them together. Tradition. He then slides
the ring on my finger, while repeating what the preacher tells him to repeat. I look at the ring. It is
very pretty, golden with three diamonds pressed together.
When Prince Roman then unwraps the lace from my wrists, and it is my turn. But instead of girly
lace, I wrap leather around his wrists. As I bind them, he jerks, as if trying to release his wrists from
the leather. I look up, startled, and see his cheery smile. I cannot help but smile back at his teasing.
I slide the ring on his finger, and repeat what I am to say.
Then, I unwrap the leather from his wrists. The preacher talks some more, and I hear Prince Roman's
voice a few times, and then the preacher says. "Princess Arianne?" I look up. "Y-yes?" I stammer. He
gives me a raised eyebrow, and I realize. "Oh, yes," I say. It is time for me to say "I do." After I do,
Prince Roman will take off my veil, and will undo my bun. And then, he will kiss me. And we will be married. As I look up at
Prince Roman's face, I realize that though we do not know one another, but we have a lifetime to get to
know one another.
I open my mouth, but no words come out. I clear my throat several times, before whispering. "I… I"
An arrow whizzes past, hitting Prince Roman in the shoulder. He gasps and then grips his wounded
shoulder. He then pushes me down to the ground, laying down on me to protect me from the arrows
that are whizzing around.
I am breathing heavy, because his extra weight on my tight dress isn't helping my lungs.
He is very close to me, and when we look at each other, I feel something inside of me spark. "Your—
your shoulder," I stammer, to break the intense trance we are in. He looks to examine his wounded
shoulder. Blood is dripping, and some lands on my white dress. "Oh, I'm sorry," he says, and rolls off of
me, though he stays near. "Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault you are bleeding," I say.
I can distantly hear the screams of the guests, can see everyone running around in a mad dash.
Prince Roman laughs breathlessly.
One of Daemeon's soldier's rushes up to Prince Roman, and crouches beside him. "Sir, we must get
to safety," he says. Prince Roman nods in agreement. "But we must bring Arianne with us," he adds.
He didn't call me "Princess Arianne." Just Arianne. I like that.
The soldier briefly glances at me, but nods. He calls out, and another soldier arrives, and helps me
up. "Are you injured?" he asks me, and I shake my head. He glances at the drops of blood on my dress,
and I explain, "It's Princ—It's Roman's," I say. Since he calls me Arianne, I feel like I need to call him
Roman. I see him grin at my choice of words.
The soldier is helping me get to safety, Prince Roman and his guard beside us, when suddenly, the
soldier besides me drops with a grunt. With horror, I see an arrow protruding out of him. I can barely
move before arms wrap around my waist, and begin to haul me away.
"Help!" I scream. I see Prince Roman turn, and he begins to walk towards us, but his guard holds him
back. He fights against him, but arrows are whizzing towards him, threatening to hit him, and Prince
Roman cannot get to us without being injured.
He stares at me, and I can see it in his eyes. I will find you, his eyes say.
My guards are too busy helping get my parents' to safety, are trying to help the frightened guests,
and trying to fight the enemy. No one really notices me being taken away, except Roman.
I struggle. With the weight of my heavy gown, it should be an advantage, but my captor seems to
show no struggle at all. But I kick and claw. I am not about to go down without a fight. But when I
realize my struggling is useless, I stop, for now, to save my energy.
I am dragged away from everyone, and everything. Surely Roman will send guards to find me. I saw
it in his eyes—he cares enough for me to find me.
That warms my heart.
Suddenly, I am being tossed into a horse, and I grip the reins tightly so I won't fall off. My captor
sits behind me, and sends the horse into a run. Trees whiz past us as we race at a fast pace. I turn
around to see who my captor is, and notices that he wears a mask. "Who are you?" I hiss, angry. I am
angry that he has taken me away from my wedding—I have become a little happy marrying Roman,
and this man has ruined that.
He pulls the mask off. His hair is black, his eyes are dark, and with his dark mood, I know that he is one
of those bad boys. I inhale sharply. He smiles evilly and says, "Your hero—yet your worst nightmare, as
Autumn Wishes
I look out the window. It is autumn, the red and orange leaves have already fallen to the ground, though

Singapore, Singapore (PressExposure) November 19, 2009 -- Why Hire Asiabiz for EntrePass application.
As of September 28, 2009, the new eligibility requirements for application of EntrePass have become more rigorous; the application process has, thus, become more complex. Unless, you have the necessary time and experience, it is advisable that you engage a professional firm to assist you with the application.
At Asiabiz, we have been helping clients with incorporations of their businesses and work pass applications since 1998. Our team of experts is highly experienced and we can process your application and provide appropriate guidance so that you may avoid all the unnecessary frustration and pitfalls. We have business plan writers on staff to help create a good business plan, which is critical factor in the approval process for the application of your EntrePass.
As we assist you through the process, we will conduct all follow-ups and liaise with each authority on your behalf. Even in the rare event that your application is rejected, we will have a thorough inquiry into why it was rejected so that we can help you appeal successfully with MOM. The comprehensive services we provide can help you simplified this lengthy and complex process, and consequently, help maximize your chance of getting an EntrePass.
Entrepreneur Pass or EntrePass is a work visa designed for foreign entrepreneurs, whom may lack the appropriate educational or specialist skills qualification, but have proven track records of successful business ventures. As of September 28, 2009 the new eligibility requirements for application of EntrePass have become more rigorous. But, as long as you fulfill the conditions, your EntrePass approval is almost guaranteed.
Ministry of Manpower grants an initial EntrePass with a validity of 1 year, and it is renewable as long as the business meets requirements outlined by Ministry of Manpower. The EntrePass facilitates multiple entries and long-term stay of these foreign entrepreneurs to enable the management of business operations in Singapore. With an EntrePass, you can travel in and out of Singapore with minimum hassle at the immigration. It also gives you the benefit of applying for Permanent Residence. EntrePass Eligibility Requirements
To be considered for an EntrePass, you must fulfill the conditions as follows:
- Incorporate a company with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority for no more than 6 months at the point of submission of the EntrePass application
- Own 30%-100% of shareholding in the company
- Have relevant experience and track record in creating and managing successful businesses
- Provide S$50,000 and above in paid-up capital for the new company
- Submit a 10-page business plan detailing business goals and objectives. Renewal of EntrePass is contingent on achieving goals and objectives outlined in the business plan Business Plan Requirements
One of the key requirements for the application of EntrePass is a 10-page comprehensive business plan that outlines the goals and objectives of the proposed business venture. The business idea must be entrepreneurial in nature. Coffee shop, hawker stall, massage parlour, karaoke lounge and employment agencies are not considered entrepreneurial businesses, and therefore not applicable for EntrePass.
The business plan must also include a strategy to meet the requirements stipulated by Ministry of Manpower in which your business venture must demonstrate in a one-year period that it will meet the employment requirement of a minimum number of Singaporean or local workers; and with a Total Business Spending (TBS) of:
- P1 Pass â 8 local employees; TBS SDG$ 300,000
- P2 Pass â 4 local employees; TBS SDG$ 150,000
- Q1 Pass â 2 local employees; TBS SDG$ 100,000
Subsequent renewals of the EntrePass are contingent on meeting these requirements and on achieving the goals and objectives in the business plan. It is, therefore, extremely crucial to have a well drafted business plan.
We handle all paper work proficiently and guide you through every step of the application so that your case is presented flawlessly to the work pass department. Handing over your case to us will save your time and cost, while we help you avoid errors and oversight, our past expertise can maximize the success potential of your immigration applications.
Ready to Proceed? Call us at (+65) 6534 8607 to discuss your requirements in detail. You can always expect your query to be responded to within 24 hours (but generally within a few hours).

Training Courses - Course Information
SYSML-103 : An Introduction to SysML and MBRE
Course Dates
Course Description
This three day tool-independent course provides a hands-on introduction to model-based requirements engineering by starting with coverage of the Object Management Group's OMG SysML™ (Systems Modeling Language) designed for model-based systems engineering. It starts with an introduction to general modeling concepts then leads into the key topics of structural and behavioral modeling. Each of the nine SysML diagrams and three most important cross-cutting notations are introduced, along with some examples of how they may be used in real-life situations.
Day two describes a set of views that form the basis for the requirements engineering approach. These views take into account each individual requirement in terms of its description, but then also provide each requirement with meaning by putting it into the correct 'context'. A requirement that has been put into a context is known as a 'use case' and may be based upon either stakeholders or levels of hierarchy in a system. Each use case must then be analyzed and validated by defining a combination of scenarios and formal mathematical and logic-based proofs that provide the rigour required for safety-critical and mission-critical systems. Pragmatic issues, such as tailoring the approach for short, non-critical projects to massive, mission-critical projects are discussed to show how the techniques introduced on the course can be applied on real-life projects and systems.
Day three consists of a workshop which consolidates the learning by giving delegates an opportunity to apply the concepts and techniques covered.
Course Objectives
- To provide an awareness of the principles and concepts of SysML
- To describe the structure and content of SysML
- Provide an awareness of the principles and concepts involved in requirements engineering
- Provide a structured approach to modeling requirements in a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) environment

- The purpose and use of all SysML diagrams
- How SysML diagrams are organized and the relationships between diagrams
- The need for an effective approach to requirements modeling
- The key views that make up a model-based approach, including the meta-model essentials and what comprises each view
- How to model individual requirements and use cases
- None
Who Should Attend
- Those planning to use the SysML or who need to be able manage projects or staff using the SysML
- Those involved in any aspect of model-based systems engineering or requirements engineering and management
Attendees Receive
- A bound copy of all course slides
- Laminates that summarize the SysML diagrams and the main requirements modeling concepts
- A copy of the book 'Model-Based Requirements Engineering' by course tutors Prof. Jon Holt and Simon Perry
Course Format

The Farmers' Almanac is calling for hotter-than-normal conditions for many regions of the U.S. and Canada this summer. The unseasonably warm weather some areas saw early last week was just a foretaste of what may be in store over the coming months. Depending on how you feel about heat, that may or may not be welcome news.
But what causes a heat wave, anyway? Why can we have a wet, chilly summer one year and a sizzler the next? Or even between one week and the next?
A heat wave occurs when a system of high atmospheric pressure moves into an area. In such a high-pressure system, air from upper levels of our atmosphere is pulled toward the ground, where it becomes compressed and increases in temperature.
This high concentration of pressure makes it difficult for other weather systems to move into the area, which is why a heat wave can last for several days or weeks. The longer the system stays in an area, the hotter the area becomes. The high-pressure inhibits winds, making them faint to nonexistent. Because the high-pressure system also prevents clouds from entering the region, sunlight can become punishing, heating up the system even more. The combination of all of these factors come together to create the exceptionally hot temperatures we call a heat wave.
While the phrase "dangerous weather" may conjure up images of blizzards, hurricanes or tornadoes, it's important to remember that heat waves can be deadly. During a heat wave, you can protect yourself by staying out of the sun during the hottest parts of the day, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping yourself hydrated with plenty of fresh water.
