World Class On-Call & Alerting - Free 14 Day Trial: Start Here.
Dan Holloran October 22, 2018DevOps Monitoring & Alerting On-Call Post-Incident Review
Proactive incident management begins with continuous improvement of processes, people, and technology. DevOps and IT teams need to track key performance indicators (KPIs) over time to ensure they're always improving. But historically, if your incident management team has been highly reactive, you may not know where to begin.
So, in this post, we'll cover a number of important incident management KPIs that you need to be monitoring.
KPIs are great, but they're meaningless if you don't have benchmarks to compare them to. By measuring KPIs over time, you can pinpoint areas of your incident management process that need improvement. Once you understand where you've been, you can better solve for where you want to go. You can establish goals and action items to improve your KPIs over time.
Aggregate data over time results in a more accurate analysis of your system's health and the efficiency of your team's incident response. Establishing the proper KPIs will help you prioritize incident workflows and understand the weaknesses in your infrastructure. Once your top KPIs are established and you know which KPIs drive business success, you can focus on optimizing for those metrics.
Let's take a look at the top incident management KPIs you should be monitoring.
Monitoring MTTA over time shows you how efficient you are at responding to an incident. How long does it take for an engineer to receive a notification and begin working on the issue? Are there any problems with routing alerts to the person who needs to acknowledge an issue?
By measuring MTTR, you can determine how well you're responding to an incident. The difference between MTTA and MTTR will show you exactly how quickly you're acknowledging an incident and how long it takes to actually fix the problem.
How much time is your team spending navigating an incident and routing it to the right person? On average, incident response accounts for 73% of an incident's lifecycle. So, you can see how shortening the average time spent in the incident response phase will result in a vastly more efficient incident management process.
How often are you receiving alerts that turn into incidents? If you have a high number of incidents, why is that the case? Are the alerts unactionable and simply causing alert fatigue, or do you need to work on a solution for the actual problem, not just a patch or a quick fix? Monitoring how many incidents are coming through the pipeline is a great measurement for determining your system's health.
Define a timeframe that would equate to successful incident remediation for your team. Then, monitor the percentage of incidents resolved in that timeframe. Setting this timeframe provides a benchmark to reach for and measure against as you work to shorten the incident lifecycle.
Now this is a big one. You need to understand how often your system experiences downtime, the costs associated with downtime, and how often this affects customers. The only way to address a problem is by acknowledging that you have one. If you don't track your percentage of unavailability, you have no way to know how reliable your system is.
Looking at how much time individuals spend on-call, and the times of day they're put on-call, can show you who's bearing the brunt of on-call responsibilities. Is one person handling numerous unactionable alerts at 3 AM while another user rarely needs to respond to an incident? Try to use this data to divvy up on-call responsibilities and make on-call easier for everybody.
This is an excellent metric for tracking the reliability of your system over time. It can show whether you're in a reactive vs. proactive incident management state. The larger the average time between incidents, the more time your team has to spend building reliability into new functionality, rather than simply responding to alerts.
The escalation rate will expose how often alerts are getting to the correct person. If incidents are escalated frequently, then you likely need to tweak your alert routing rules or re-think who's on-call for certain issues. Escalation capability is essential for collaborative incident management teams, but you'd like alerts to reach the correct person on the first try as often as possible.
Post-incident reviews aren't a concrete KPI. But it's important to record all your top incident management KPIs and roll them into comprehensive post-incident reviews. PIRs should be conducted to find weaknesses in your people operations, processes, or tooling. Then, you can quantitatively measure these important KPIs against benchmarks to see that your incident management techniques continue to improve.
Without setting benchmarks and establishing key incident management metrics, you'll have no way to tell if you're improving. Every team has different KPIs that are more important than others when it comes to their specific application or service. But, these general incident management KPIs act as a great jumping-off point when you embark on the mission to measure success and create highly effective incident management teams.
Purpose-built incident management solutions can help you track important KPIs and build more collaborative teams. Check out our free Incident Management Buyers Guide to learn more about core functionality to look for when investing in an incident management tool.

The ability to rapidly and accurately diagnose a disease state in a patient is critical as this guides the subsequent routes of treatment. A recent patent by Selux Diagnostics Inc. describes the use of PLA-diacrylate (AI036) from PolySciTech (www.polyscitech.com) to develop particles for assay applications. This research holds promise for improved assay methodologies across a wide array of applications including diagnostic applications.

U.S. Patent Application 15/745,361, filed March 28, 2019. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190091673A1/en
"Abstract: Nanoparticles for use in assay methods for detecting analytes in samples, which comprise a signal inducing agent, e.g. a transition-metal catalyst or a chemiluminophore, a chemiluminophore precursor, a soluble absorber, or a soluble absorber precursor. After binding to an analyte, the nanoparticle is dissociated by a chemical or physical trigger, e.g. an organic solvent or ultrasound, to release the signal inducing agent, which releases a detectable signal via a physical or chemical reaction. The nanoparticles comprising a chemiluminophore, a chemiluminophore precursor, a soluble absorber, or a soluble absorber precursor can also effect chemical reactions that serve as signal amplifiers."

| 14.4°C Dublin
IRELAND's smallest surviving premature baby is today thriving at home with her parents.
Tiny Sive McDonald was just 420g -- less than a pound -- when she arrived into the world 16 weeks early.
She was smaller than the palm of her dad's hand at full stretch -- about the length of a biro.
Aisling McDonald (32), from Mullingar, Co Westmeath; and her husband, John McDonald (30), from Bagenalstown, Co Carlow, fell in love in Australia.
They moved back to Ireland and married, and were looking forward to the birth of their first baby last summer.
But they were given "no hope" when baby Sive had to be delivered 16 weeks premature on June 11.
Aisling suffered from pre-eclampsia -- the medical term for high blood pressure during her pregnancy.
"It all happened really quick. We were brought from St Luke's Hospital in Kilkenny to Waterford Regional Hospital where there is a special baby unit," said Mr McDonald.
"They were giving us no hope, to be honest. They gave us a room to stay in by ourselves and were really supportive. There was a priest there all the time and we were facing the worst-case scenario."
Aisling's system was under severe pressure and the doctors wanted to ensure her life was not in danger. "She could have had a stroke. They said they were doing the best for the baby but Aisling was the priority."
When the baby was born, her parents admit they were "naive".
"We thought she'd be three or four pounds. But we didn't realise she'd be less than a pound, and the dangers if her limbs weren't formed properly. We were told babies don't survive outside the womb unless they are more than 24 weeks. Sive was 23 weeks and five days."
Nobody expected Sive to pull through, but the little baby stunned medics by clinging on to life. Her paediatrician in Waterford, Dr Paul McMahon, had to order special spectacles from the US so he could see her microscopic veins.
"At one stage, the doctor was trying to get food into her but her veins were so small. Every time they'd get a needle in, the vein was bursting, it wasn't strong enough. She hadn't been fed at one stage for five, six, seven hours. Dr McMahon finally got a vein and she was able to feed," said Mr McDonald.
Sive had 24 blood transfusions but never gave up. "We still can't believe it. We brought her home to Kilkenny a month before Christmas and she is 9lb 6oz now. She's the equivalent of two months old. Her eyes are perfect, her ears are clear and she's responsive for two months," said Mr McDonald.
She appears to be a healthy and happy baby. "The only thing we worry about is how she'll be when she starts talking but we hope she'll be fine. She's happy now and we're getting as much food into her as possible."
Sive sleeps through the night and her parents set an alarm to wake her for feeds. "She won't cry, she's such a placid baby; it's unbelievable."
The parents are sharing their story to comfort other families of premature babies. "We are doing up a poster for the wall of the special baby unit to show how Sive survived. She's the best. We feel like the luckiest people alive."
They also thanked Dr McMahon for his excellent care of their baby. "She's like part of his family. He said in his 45 years of practice, she's the smallest baby he ever came across."
The family also said that hospital staff were "amazing" and went "beyond the call of duty" to help them. "If the politicians could see what they were at, they wouldn't be cutting their wages and hours. They were doing 12-hour shifts and would stay another hour to write down everything that the next nurse needed to know.
"We rang at all hours of the day and night and there was always somebody to talk to us," Mr McDonald added.

Commentary: Apparent political turmoil in US continues to take its toll as The US Dollar (.DXY) Index moved very sharply with the majors having their best day in some time in here. PE
The US Dollar (.DXY) Index 97.50 fell sharply in line with expectations and remains on course for my targets of 96.50-00. The best the Bulls can expect at the moment is a consolidation after this sharp fall with 98.50 as ceiling but no bottoming sign is visible in here.
EUR (Euro) at 1.1156 hit a high at 1.1174, not too far away from the LTN initial target at 1.1200, but at this rate of rise, even the higher target of 1.1300 may be marked next week.
USD/JPY at 111.06 broke below 112.00, tested interim support to 110.50 in a sharp decliner. This support area of 110.50-00 may halt the fall for the rest of this week and a consolidation in 110.00-112.00 may be seen next week.
Sterling (GBP) at 1.2964) is up along with the other majors but the inability to break above resistance at 1.3000 yet makes it a under-performer. If it trades above 1.3000, higher targets of 1.3200-1.3400 open up, expect more sideways consolidation in 1.2850-1.3000 till the breakout occurs.
AUD (Aussie) at 0.7454) is closing in on the major resistance of 0.7500 which may hold near term and push it down again. Only a clear break above 0.7500 may negate the possibility of marking the Southside targets of 0.7300-0.7290 and bring on Bullish options.
Stay tuned…

UK - The funding position of UK defined benefit schemes deteriorated in May, with the aggregate deficit increasing to £41.5bn (€50.1bn) at the end of the month, according to figures from the Pension Protection Fund (PPF).Findings from the monthly PPF 7800 index showed the total deficit of schemes in deficit increased from £74.4bn to £98.4bn, while the aggregate surplus of all the schemes in surplus slipped from £72.3bn to £57bn in May.
As a result, the aggregate funding position of the sample of 7,342 schemes moved from £2.2bn at the end of April to £41.5bn a month later.
The number of schemes in deficit increased from 5,066 to 5,450, while just 1,892 reported a surplus.
The PPF noted the decrease in scheme assets, which fell by 1.9% to £895.8bn, could be attributed to falling UK and global equities, while the change in gilt yields resulted in a 2.1% increase in pension liabilities.
The consultancy admitted the 6.1% drop in UK equities in May had contributed to an estimated £11bn fall in FTSE 350 companies' pension fund assets during the month.
However, by the end of the month, markets were expecting average inflation of 3.5% over 20 years, down from 3.7% at the end of April, which helped reduce pension liabilities by £18bn.
Overall, Towers Watson estimated the combined pension deficits of FTSE 350 companies have fallen from £77bn to £70bn since the end of April.
John Ball, head of defined benefit consulting at Towers Watson, said: "This might seem a perverse result, but it arises because it isn't only stock markets that are volatile.
"An unprecedented combination of economic conditions makes it harder to predict what will happen to inflation over the coming years, and when inflation expectations jump around, so do pension deficits."Meanwhile, Aon Consulting's Aon200 Index, which tracks the aggregate deficit of the 200 largest privately sponsored pension schemes, claimed the aggregate deficit of the pension scheme sample was reduced by £13.5bn in May.
Aon claimed the fall in the deficit from £97.2bn in April to £83.5bn a month later was the biggest improvement since June 2009.
It attributed the movement to a reduction in long-term inflation expectations that offset asset losses from investments.
Sarah Abraham, consultant and actuary at Aon Consulting, said: "As cheaper benefit provision is anticipated, liabilities have fallen, and this has gone some way to mitigate the adverse effect of asset falls.
"Scheme managers will be praying the dream scenario of rising assets and falling liabilities is round the corner.
"Until then, deficits look set to remain huge by historical standards."Elsewhere, Pension Capital Strategies' (PCS) monthly index of the funding position of all UK private-sector DB schemes at the end of May on an IAS19/FRS17 accounting basis reported an aggregate deficit of £185bn, or a funding level of 84%.
It also calculated the deficit in FTSE 100 DB pension schemes had reached £58bn, or a funding level of 87%, while FTSE 350 pension arrangements had a combined deficit of £72bn, or 86% funding level.
Charles Cowling, managing director at PCS, said: "We have seen a big recovery in equity markets in the last year, but liabilities have also risen by a similar amount.
"For all UK private-sector pension schemes, we estimate the total deficit figure now stands at £185bn.
"We are continuing to see companies take big steps to reduce pension risks and liabilities, but 2010 looks like it will not be an easy year for UK pension schemes."

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 viruses caused an outbreak of human respiratory illness in Hong Kong. Of 15 human H5N1 isolates characterized, nine displayed a high-, five a low-, and one an intermediate-pathogenicity phenotype in the BALB/c mouse model. Sequence analysis determined that five specific amino acids in four proteins correlated with pathogenicity in mice. Alone or in combination, these specific residues are the likely determinants of virulence of human H5N1 influenza viruses in this model.
The molecular determinants and related mechanisms that make certain influenza viruses highly pathogenic for mammalian species, including humans, remain poorly understood. Both viral factors and host factors may determine virulence. Numerous studies have shown that influenza virus virulence in mammalian species is a polygenic trait, which may require a critical constellation of genes (4, 21, 32, 33). The phenotypes of virulence and pathogenicity are distinct from that of host range. Influenza viruses that infect one species, such as birds, are often restricted in their ability to replicate in other host species, such as humans, by host range determinants. However, in 1997, highly pathogenic avian H5N1 viruses infected poultry in the live-bird markets of Hong Kong and caused an outbreak of 18 human cases of respiratory illness, including six deaths (6, 8, 30, 34). The majority of individuals who experienced severe illness or died from the H5N1 infection were 13 to 60 years old and had no known risk factors for complications from influenza (5).
The H5N1 viruses are the only highly pathogenic avian viruses that have been documented to cause an outbreak of respiratory disease in humans. An earlier study of humans exposed to chickens infected with an H5N2 virus failed to find any evidence of human infection with this highly pathogenic avian virus (2). The 16 H5N1 viruses isolated from humans during the 1997 outbreak had avian virus genomes; the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes showed no evidence of adaptive change for humans (3). The outbreak created a new awareness that avian influenza viruses could spread directly from poultry to humans and cause severe respiratory disease in humans, but the molecular basis of the H5N1 virus virulence in humans was not evident.
The BALB/c mouse was previously shown to be a useful mammalian model for the evaluation of human H5N1 virus pathogenesis (11, 13, 17). H5N1 viruses replicate efficiently in the respiratory tract of mice without prior adaptation. Viruses exhibiting high lethality (pathogenicity) replicated in extrapulmonary sites, including the brain, while growth of viruses of low lethality was restricted to the respiratory tract of mice (11, 17). All 16 human H5N1 viruses possessed a multiple basic amino acid motif at the cleavage site between HA1 and HA2 and were lethal for experimentally infected chickens (3, 6, 11, 27, 30). The basic amino acid motif, a key molecular feature of avian viruses of the H5 and H7 subtypes that are highly pathogenic for chickens (23), allows the HA to be cleaved by ubiquitous proteases of the subtilisin family (26) and enables these viruses to replicate systemically in birds. The fact that human H5N1 viruses of low pathogenicity for mice possessed the motif but did not replicate systemically or cause lethal disease in mice (11, 17) suggested that other molecular features are associated with the high pathogenicity of H5N1 viruses in mammalian species. We now investigate the molecular determinants that distinguish 15 H5N1 viruses of high and low pathogenicity in mice.
The origin and outcome of human disease associated with 15 H5N1 viruses isolated from confirmed cases in Hong Kong in 1997 and the antigenic profile and relative pathogenicity of the viruses for mice are shown in Table 1. Viruses were grown in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and/or the allantoic cavity of 10-day-old embryonated hens' eggs at 37°C for 24 h. Fifty percent egg infectious dose (EID50) titers were determined by serial titration of viruses in eggs and were calculated by the method of Reed and Muench (20). The 50% lethal dose (LD50) of the viruses for 6- to 8-week-old female BALB/c mice (Charles River Laboratories, Wilmington, Mass.) was determined as previously described (17) and used as a marker for pathogenicity. LD50 titers were expressed as the EID50 value corresponding to 1 LD50. Viruses with an LD50 of >106.5 were considered to be of low pathogenicity, while viruses with an LD50 of <103.0 were considered to be of high pathogenicity.
Previously, the H5N1 viruses were distinguished into two antigenically and genetically distinct subgroups based on the absence (group A) or presence (group B) of a potential N-linked glycosylation site at residues 154 to 156 (H3 numbering) in the HA1 region of the HA molecule (3, 27). While all five viruses of low pathogenicity for mice belonged to group A, the nine viruses that were highly pathogenic for mice included all seven group B viruses and two group A viruses. A/Hong Kong/156/97 (HK/156), a group A virus, gave an intermediate phenotype of pathogenicity in mice (Table 1). Therefore, the presence or absence of the glycosylation site in HA1 alone could not explain the differences in pathogenicity observed in mice.
The complete nucleotide sequences for all coding regions of all gene segments of nine of the H5N1 viruses were determined by direct cycle sequencing of PCR products generated by reverse transcription-PCR from MDCK cell-passaged (XC1 or XC2) stocks by using gene-specific primer sets as previously described (3; M. Shaw, L. Cooper, X. Xu, et al., submitted for publication). This analysis identified five residues that segregated with the mouse pathogenicity phenotype in genes that encoded the NA, matrix (M1) protein, and viral polymerases PB1 and PB2. To confirm this finding, partial sequence analysis was conducted on these four gene segments from the same virus stocks that were used to determine the pathogenicity phenotype in mice (Table2). Amino acid residues I or T at residue 223 in the NA, K or R at 198 and I or M at 317 in PB1, and K or Q at 355 in PB2 correlated with high and low pathogenicity, respectively, in all 15 viruses analyzed. The amino acid at position 15 (I or V) in the M1 protein correlated with high (I) and low (V) pathogenicity in 14 of the H5N1 viruses. HK/485/97, a virus of high pathogenicity, possessed a unique codon (ACC) relative to all other H5N1 viruses analyzed, encoding a threonine at position 15 in the M1 protein. This result suggests either that threonine at this position is permissive for the high-pathogenicity phenotype or that substitution of this residue alone is insufficient to alter the mouse pathogenicity phenotype of the virus.
Amino acid 223 in the N1 NA corresponds to residue 222 of N2 NA, a conserved framework residue in the enzyme active site in the head of the NA molecule (7). H5N1 viruses of the low-pathogenicity phenotype possess a threonine at this position, creating a potential glycosylation site (N-X-T) in the enzyme active site. Previously, the neurovirulence of mouse-adapted A/WSN/33 virus was correlated with the loss of a glycosylation site at residue 146 in the head of the N1 NA (16). Goto and Kawaoka (12) reported that the absence of this glycosylation site together with the presence of a carboxyl-terminal lysine (residue 453) was associated with the binding of plasminogen by the NA, which facilitated and enhanced HA cleavage and conferred a broader tissue tropism on this virus. However, the molecular features important for this mechanism of virulence have been observed only in the laboratory-derived A/WSN/33 virus and not in any wild-type viruses, including the H5N1 viruses. Other studies have suggested a role for the NA in influenza virus-induced apoptosis, which has been implicated as a mechanism of pathogenicity among influenza viruses (18, 22). Interestingly, the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus HK/483/97 induces peripheral blood lymphocyte depletion and apoptosis in the spleens and lungs of infected mice, whereas HK/486/97, a virus of low pathogenicity, does not (31). Because the specific residues in the PB1, PB2, and M1 proteins that correlated with mouse pathogenicity were not located in any of the defined functional domains of these proteins, their contribution to the mechanism(s) of virulence remains unknown.
Because the human H5N1 viruses are a genetically closely related group of viruses (3, 15), it was possible to associate the five specific molecular markers in the NA, PB1, PB2, and M1 genes with the two distinct phenotypes of pathogenicity observed in mice. To investigate the prevalence of these specific residues in other influenza A viruses, nucleotide sequence alignments for the four gene products were performed using available sequence data (downloaded from the GenBank viral nucleotide database in March and April 2000), including sequences from human, avian, swine, and equine influenza A viruses. No significant distribution of the specific residues associated with high or low pathogenicity for mice in this study was observed, most likely because of the relatively low genetic relatedness of influenza A viruses from different species. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed that residues Thr-223 in the NA and Arg-98 in PB1 were unique to the H5N1 viruses of low pathogenicity and that Glu-355 in PB2 was found only in the human H5N1 viruses of low pathogenicity and in four avian H5N1 viruses isolated from birds in Hong Kong in 1997.
In earlier studies, investigators compared wild-type viruses with either mouse-adapted virus or reassortants derived from parental viruses of distinct pathogenicity phenotypes. In mice, pneumovirulence and neurovirulence were associated with the HA, NA, M, and one or more polymerase genes (4, 21, 32, 33). However, the specific amino acid residues identified in the NA, M1, PB1, and PB2 genes in the present study have not been previously associated with pathogenicity. It is possible that additional molecular markers for pathogenicity were not detected because the findings from complete sequence analysis of nine of the human H5N1 viruses were used to direct partial analysis of the remaining viruses. Mutations in the polymerase genes of influenza viruses have previously been reported to determine host range (1, 29), temperature sensitivity, and, in some instances, attenuation of influenza viruses for mice, ferrets, and humans (25, 28). Mutations in the M protein have been associated with host range, growth, and virulence phenotypes. Growth properties of influenza viruses can be determined by specific mutations in individual gene segments or by the constellation of genes present in the virus.
Although HK/156/97 was shown to be of intermediate pathogenicity in this study, the genotype was that of the high-pathogenicity viruses, a finding consistent with the results of others who have characterized HK/156/97 as being highly pathogenic for BALB/c mice (9, 11, 13, 24). The molecular basis for the apparent attenuation of virulence of the HK/156/97 virus used in this study is unknown, but biological and molecular heterogeneity of this virus isolate has been reported (11, 14). Passage of HK/156/97 in mice was shown to increase the virulence of the virus (13, 14, 24). One other virus, HK/482/97, consistently yielded an indeterminate mouse pathogenicity phenotype and a genotype that consisted of a mixture of the residues associated with high and low pathogenicity in M1, PB1, and PB2. Gao et al. (11) found that HK/482/97 virus passaged exclusively in MDCK cells exhibited low pathogenicity in mice. Therefore, it is possible that the original HK/482/97 isolate, like HK/156/97, was biologically heterogeneous.
While two distinct pathogenicity phenotypes were observed in this inbred mouse model, a broader spectrum of pathogenicity was observed in humans infected with the H5N1 viruses. In particular, the age of an infected individual was an important factor associated with severity of disease (34). Some of the deaths associated with H5N1 infections occurred late in the course of hospitalization, following extended periods of mechanical ventilation and other complications. The mouse pathogenicity phenotype of four viruses failed to correlate with the severity of disease observed in humans. Three of the viruses that were highly pathogenic for mice were isolated from children ≤4 years of age who had mild disease. One virus of low pathogenicity for mice was isolated from a 34-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who succumbed to a lethal H5N1 infection. Therefore, in addition to the general virulence of the H5N1 viruses, age, underlying medical conditions, and other unknown risk factors may have contributed to the severity of disease in humans. Nevertheless, the fact that H5N1 viruses of high pathogenicity induced symptoms of disease similar to those observed in severe and fatal human cases, including viral pneumonia, multiorgan involvement, leukopenia, and death, suggests that the mouse is an appropriate model with which to better understand the molecular basis of influenza virus virulence in mammalian species. However, at present it is not possible to distinguish between molecular determinants responsible for general virulence in mammals and those responsible for specific virulence in mice.
The use of plasmid-based reverse genetics techniques (10, 19) will enable an evaluation of the contribution of each of the specific amino acid residues identified here, either alone or in various combinations, to the pathogenicity phenotype in mice. While it is likely that the polygenic nature of pathogenicity differs among influenza viruses and among host species, the molecular determinants of pathogenicity in this mammalian model may provide a framework for the future identification of influenza A viruses with the potential to cause severe disease.
We thank the Epidemiology Section of the Influenza Branch, CDC; Paul Saw, K. H. Mak, Wilina Lim, and others from the Hong Kong Department of Health for the acquisition of specimens and isolation of the H5N1 viruses; Xiyan Xu, Sarah Cantrell, Mark Hemphill, and Alexander Klimov for contributing to the sequence analysis; and Nancy Cox for critical review of the manuscript.

Carwyn Jones has been accused of rowing back on assurances made by the Welsh Government that AMs could have another chance to vote on outlawing smacking – after he said he would not bring forward an amendment before the next election.
At his monthly press conference, the First Minister appeared to suggest the issue should be one included in manifestos for the next election, although if those outside the government wished to bring it forward "it was a matter for them".
Welsh Labour is conducting an internal consultation on its stance on a proposed smacking ban for Wales, but Mr Jones said it would be for the next election.
The government defeated a Plaid Cymru-tabled amendment to the Social Services Bill earlier this month, with two potential Labour rebels – Cardiff North AM Julie Morgan and Cynon Valley AM Christine Chapman – voting with the government after Deputy Minister for Social Services Gwenda Thomas said there was potential for it to be voted on in future.
She told AMs: "There will be opportunities to examine this issue in forthcoming legislation in this Assembly term."
But asked if it would be something the government would look to support, Mr Jones said: "We will not be bringing forward an amendment. Of course, there will be opportunities for others to do so in legislation. Our manifesto commitment is clear, and that is that we're looking to promote positive parenting.
"We don't have a manifesto commitment to move forward with removing the defence of reasonable chastisement in the law on common assault."
Asked if the government would instead support an opposition-tabled amendment, he said: "That would not be within our own manifesto commitment. I think these are things that parties should consider at the next election. That said, of course, as a party we are going through a consultation process in terms of determining what our policy should be on this issue in future."
The comments indicate a cooling on the idea of government support for a vote, which would remove a "reasonable chastisement" defence in the law of common assault.
Lindsay Whittle, the Plaid Cymru AM who tabled the last amendment, said: "It is disappointing to hear the comments of the First Minister which contradict the assurances given by Gwenda Thomas last week. The Minister made it perfectly clear that there would be opportunities to examine this issue in forthcoming legislation in this Assembly and to work on this on a cross-party basis in future."
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said: "Assembly Members were told that if they did not push for this is the Social Care Bill, then there would be other legislative opportunities during this Assembly term.
"It's a concern that the First Minister is now hinting otherwise. This will be a bitter blow to many Assembly Members, especially those in the Labour group."

Many people take sleeping pills today because of lack of proper sleep. Sleep is very important because it helps the body repair damaged tissues and ensure that it is healthy. Without sleep you lose concentration during the day and the problem can become worse leading to other health complications. Insomnia or lack of sleep can be resolved by taking sleeping tablets.
Sleeping tablets should be taken only after consulting a doctor. They should be taken carefully only to induce sleep and not become a habit. If you find it difficult to go to a pharmacy to get them you can order them easily online. However there are certain things to check before you place an order such as:
Sleeping pills work by depressing the central nervous system to bring about sedation and are useful for short term resolution of sleeping problems. The latest sleeping pills reduce the time taken to go to sleep. However sleeping pills that are classified as benzodiazepines are addictive and they must be taken carefully.
Some pills are basically anti anxiety pills but they also give sleepiness and they might also be prescribed by the doctor to suppress anxiety and induce sleep. It is to be noted that these medications bring about sleep deeply and the sedation period will last for quite a while. It is essential to give yourself enough time in bed so that you get the complete rest that comes with taking these pills and sleeping. If you do not allow this time then taking these pills can cause side effects. Doctors recommend a complete eight hours sleeping time and anything less that this is not advisable. There are many side effects that can occur when taking sleeping pill such as sleepwalking, hallucinations, memory issues etc.
These happen when they are taken alongside other medications or with alcoholic beverages. That's why it is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and without combining with any other medication. Instead of taking this medication regularly you can also consider ways to induce sleep normally so that you get back to the natural pattern of going to sleep.

Alberta Avenue's reputation doesn't make it the first place most people would choose to raise a family—but Edmonton author Carissa Halton captures the changes the community is undergoing in her book Little Yellow House: Finding Community in a Changing Neighbourhood.
Halton says she was inspired to write the book by the negative response she and her husband received when they moved into the area.
"When we first moved into the community … this was in 2005 … a lot of people said, 'You'll move when you have kids, right?' And then when we had kids, people said, 'You'll move when your kids go to school, right?' And there was a certain pervasive sense or perception that our kids wouldn't be safe in Alberta Avenue," she explains.
But Halton says what she and her family experience living in the neighbourhood is very different from people's expectations.
With Little Yellow House, Halton says she wanted to create a literary collage or portrait capturing Alberta Avenue and its residents. Each chapter serves as a kind of snapshot in prose, capturing one aspect of the neighbourhood.
"I wanted that to represent this bigger collage of what Alberta Avenue was like for us and our family," she says.
In the book, Halton shares friendships her family forged in the community, as well as what she sees as positive infrastructure and revitalization efforts in the area.
"I think a lot of the book really is about telling those stories of the things that we just discovered that were awesome," she says.
Walking along 118 Avenue later, Halton points to facilities such as the playground just down the street from the eponymous little yellow house (though Halton and her family moved a little further East last year). There's also a community league, a women's shelter, a church, an arts space, and the Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse.
Halton points to arts festivals on the avenue as events that are changing people's perceptions of the neighbourhood. She says that lower housing costs are also attracting families, but that not everyone is enthusiastic about the outside perception of the area changing.
"I think there's some people that don't really want the perception to change because it means that it remains affordable, it remains quirky, a little bit, and that's the pressures of gentrification and the negative elements of gentrification where you have a displacement of so many of the people that we know in our community and in our schools," she says.
Halton address the tension between revitalization and gentrification in the final chapter of her book, noting that, "In the worse-case scenario, my family becomes a threat."
From her own experience, Halton knows there has been some displacement as rooming houses have been bought and renovated or rebuilt as single family dwellings. She shares the story of a man named Bill who was forced to move in such a situation, but who found a new home in the neighbourhood.
Halton hopes that as Alberta Avenue continues to grow and develop, there will also be more safe, affordable renting housing built.
"I hope there's the incentives for them [developers] to do that, because it makes a lot of sense … as this community changes to continue to maintain the affordable spaces that they really need to maintain not just the businesses, but the kind of diversity that I think is really important for a community like ours."

WASHINGTON — Natural gas producers reportedly took advantage of inconsistent federal rules to avoid paying the U.S. government about $700 million in royalties in 2005, but the head of the Interior Department defended those rules and said taxpayers were not being shortchanged.
After a three-month investigation, The New York Times wrote Monday that a complicated set of federal regulations allowed energy companies to provide the Interior Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission different data when reporting the value of the natural gas they sold.
To the SEC, the industry reported a market price. But to the Interior Department, it gave a lower so-called wellhead price, which is the value of the gas before factoring in processing and transportation costs, and profit margins. Royalties are set at around 12 percent to 16 percent of the wellhead price.
If the royalty payments had been based on the market price, the Times computed, the U.S. government would have collected an additional $700 million. The paper did not allege that any laws were broken.
Interior Secretary Gale Norton said in an interview late Monday that "overall we think the taxpayers are getting the amount they are due." Norton said her agency conducts regular audits, but that it is trying to improve that system.
"There are problems," she said. "There are times when we ask companies for more than they paid."
Industry executives denied any wrongdoing, saying that different rules apply when calculating prices for different agencies. "The price of gas downstream is always going to be higher because you have costs that have to be recouped for getting it to the customer," a spokesman for Exxon Mobil Corp. was quoted as saying.
Still, Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York said Monday that the Interior Department should provide Congress with an explanation of the matter within 30 days.
"I am deeply disturbed by the possibility that as American families are paying significantly higher prices to heat their homes, they may also be getting short-changed through underpaid royalties by the same companies that have reaped extraordinary profits from increased energy prices," Schumer said in a letter to the Interior Department's Inspector General Earl E. Devaney.

Last turkey season, I was able to try out a sure-nuff turkey hunting vest for the first time. Before that, I simply loaded up an old camo bird hunting vest with all my calls and stuff. The new turkey vest was the Primos Rocker Vest, and while it has some great points, it wasn't ideal for me.
I'll begin with the high points from the manufacturer:
- Smart storage and durable construction.
- Flip down lounge seat with back support allows you to sit anywhere in seconds
- Molded pot call and box call pockets keeps your calls protected
- Waterproof cell phone pocket you can use your phone in
- Decoy stake pocket
- Hydration bladder pocket (bladder not included)
- Multiple pockets to keep your gear organized
- Available in Mossy Oak Obsession and Realtree Xtra Green
In the Field
The first thing I noticed about this vest when I received it was the weight — this thing is heavy. Right out of the box, it weighs 5.5 pounds. Once I add gloves and mask, some calls, a small water bottle, and some extra ammo, it weighs a full 9 pounds — and it's far from full.
That's the good part… there's plenty of room in this vest. It even has a pair of nice, deep, fleece-lined handwarmer pockets. Sweet!
It's also well-made and should last for many years. But it has. No. Shell. Loops.
No shell loops on a shotgun vest? Preposterous. Doesn't Primos realize that some of us still tote twin-stackers instead of pumps or autos? I need handy ammo at my fingertips so I can reload quickly after I loose both barrels at a tough old Tom, and this vest doesn't provide it.
It does have a transparent plastic phone pocket, which I find useless. I use a slim waterproof case to protect my phone when I take…

In few years, sustainable features in home have become so much popular. This is because individuals and builders hardly consider the impact of their carbon print on coming generations. Many homeowners preferto own a house having green features. This not only reduces their carbon footprint but also saves their money. By installing following features one can help do his part.
Eco-Friendly Flooring
Eco-Friendly flooring comes from a sustainable source and it looks wonderful when used in house. Thus, if a person uses this material he will be sure of its long term supply. There are number of options for eco-friendly flooring like recycled clay, cork, stone title, reclaimed wood, linoleum, rubber, recycled metal title, recycled glass title, bamboo and wood.
Solar Hot Water Unit
Having a solar hot water unit in a house is very beneficial as it saves lot of electricity. By installing this unit one can avail water which has been heated by sun to the person's home and swimming pool? Thus, less energy is consumed. Solar hot water unit can heat water for the maximum of one year. During winters, if the unit is not able to get water then one can use gas or electric booster.
Solar Electric System
Solar electric systems are considered back bone of sustainable homes. These systems make use of the panels in order to avail power and provide sustainable electricity to houses. By installing solar electric system many people save their money and reduce their impact on environment. Not only this, it also increases the resale value of the property. It allows individual to lock in energy costs for years to come.
Recycled Material
Recycled material can be used more than just flooring. There are number of companies who make use of such materials in order to make house of the individual beautiful. They also use one of kind luxury furniture. Recycled material can also be used in entire house by way of backsplash in the kitchen and shower tiles in the bathroom.
Energy Saving Appliances
In order to make house greener then investing in a energy saving appliances is one of the easiest way. Energy saving appliances is developed in such a way that when it is operated it uses less power. They are just as efficient as functions of traditional appliances. Moreover, they save money of homeowners on electricity bill. Leading manufacturers produce such appliances thus, making them available in various colors and styles.
In order to reduce the amount of energy which is used while cooling and heating then using a correct roofing insulation is a great way. It helps in maintaining warm air during winters and cold air during summers. Insulation can easily be added during home building process. This is measured by an R-value. This implies, higher the R-value more effective will be the insulation.
All these features represent some of the features which can make house more sustainable but there are endless methods as well. When it comes in creating a living space which is kind to the environment, every little bit helps.

Future Nostalgia
Flare | 16 September 2020 | 178 MB
The best sounds of 80's and 90's pop. The duo behind the group is instrumentalist-producer Dan Mufson and songwriter-vocalist Jill Lamoureux. Together, they produce upbeat, dancey songs with sonorous, moody vocals. Influenced by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Janet Jackson, Robyn, and Phoenix, the duo has its own take on pop-rock sounds with vocals that are vibrant, diverse, emotive, and inspiring. This pack features vocals and instrumentals as varied as Scavenger Hunt's music. From dry, soloed takes to gang vocals to synthetic vocoder effects, there's something for every musical genre and style.

After a summer of delays and continuances, the Black Dog Bakery and Cafe withdrew an application to serve hard alcohol at the 509 State Road location.
But the popular eatery could face a challenge to how it serves beer and wine.
Selectman Tristan Israel again went on the offensive about how the cafe does business, saying the concept of having customers order beer and wine at a counter is not in keeping with the guidelines set up for restaurants. Beer and wine orders are supposed to be taken at tables by servers who then deliver the drinks, he said.
"It was explained to us how people currently get a drink of beer and wine, and that was not — just for the State Road cafe, downtown is fine — and we were told someone goes up to the counter and makes that request, and that was not the spirit of how the rules and regulations were supposed to work," Mr. Israel said.
At previous meetings, Black Dog officials have explained that drinks are brought to the table by servers. Before the end of the year, he said, Black Dog should be alerted that this is an issue.
All beer and wine licenses, as well as all-alcohol licenses, are renewed on an annual basis. "I'm not prepared to renew their license," Mr. Israel said.
No one from the Black Dog was at Tuesday's meeting. Rob Douglas Jr., chief executive of the restaurant company, could not be reached for comment Wednesday, but he told The Times in June the Black Dog is not violating the town bylaw.
"We read the law," Mr. Douglas said at the time. "So show us where it says you can't be served at a table if you order at a counter."
The board did vote unanimously to accept Black Dog's request to withdraw its application for an all-alcohol license.
Taking aim at pot
Selectman Israel also took aim at potential marijuana sales in Tisbury. "I would like us to submit a zoning bylaw to exclude marijuana from being sold in the B-1 district," he said. Essentially, that would prohibit sales on Main Street in Vineyard Haven.
"I don't want to see it in our downtown, gateway area," Mr. Israel said.
Towns that voted against a referendum to legalize marijuana can prohibit pot sales, but towns like Tisbury that overwhelmingly approved recreational marijuana can only set aside areas of town where it's allowed, he said.
Selectman Melinda Loberg said she'd like to see a broader discussion, with community input, on where pot sales would be welcome.
Ben Robinson, chairman of the planning board, told the board his committee has a list of bylaws it is considering for annual town meeting. He agreed to add potential zones for recreational marijuana sales to the list. "I can't say where it will end up," he said.
Zoning changes have to undergo public hearings and be approved by town meeting.
Ernie Boch Jr., come on down
Town leaders want to have further discussions with Ernie Boch Jr. about the private park he has planned for a vacant lot at 20 Beach Road.
Still concerned with public access to the park, as well as with access to an easement that Mr. Boch would like for a sewer line, the town would like to discuss it further.
Town leaders met with a Boch representative at the site two weeks ago to discuss the proposed easement.
Mr. Israel wants to use that easement to see if the town can get some concessions from Mr. Boch, who is proposing a park that would include flower gardens, a courtyard with a compass rose, and boardwalks, but would be closed off to the general public by fences and gates because of liability issues.
"The only leverage we have is the easement," Mr. Israel said, noting that he would like to see if an offer of helping to maintain the park and to pay for insurance would ease concerns about liability. "If they're going to shut off the water access, we have the easement. We'll play poker," he said.
Ms. Loberg questioned whether that was a good idea, considering the upgrade to the sewer line would be beneficial to the town as well.
In an interesting development, Mr. Robinson said it's possible the compass rose patio could force Mr. Boch to seek a special permit from the town's planning board. Parks that have impervious surfaces require special permits, he told the board. As part of the special permit process, public access could be addressed, he said.
"If we're not getting an answer we want, we should consider if [the park] requires a special permit," Mr. Robinson said.
Ultimately, the board asked town administrator Jay Grande to reach out to Mr. Boch to ask him to meet with selectmen.
School parking plans
What seemed like an innocuous discussion about a parking lot adjacent to the Tisbury School turned into a rant from Selectman Israel.
The school wants assurances that it can continue to use the former DPW lot in the future and to make it part of its plans going before the Massachusetts School Building Authority. Mr. Israel said he had private conversations with school officials where he suggested the one-year lease agreement be extended to 15 years.
But when Selectman Loberg mentioned that the issue came up earlier in the day at a school meeting and officials pointed to past town meeting action making the lot for school use, Mr. Israel went off.
"This annoys me to no end," he said, noting school officials should be happy with a 15-year lease. "It's just petty to me."
Ms. Loberg attempted to douse the rant, saying that it was a suggestion, not a "battle cry."
Both Mr. Israel and chairman Larry Gomez said school officials should provide for maintenance of the lot.
Mr. Robinson, planning board chairman, said reconstruction of the lot would be part of the overall package for the proposed new school.
Other business
As if that wasn't enough, the Tisbury board of selectmen had a jam-packed agenda.
Selectmen authorized Mr. Grande to seek additional funds for the State Road/Tashmoo Overlook from Community Preservation funds. Mr. Grande is putting together an application for annual town meeting in the spring.
The board also authorized spending an additional $5,000 for Strategic Partners LLC, a consultant that did an evaluation of the police department and its hiring and discipline practices. The board had authorized Mr. Grande to seek $10,000 from the finance committee, but that board wanted more information. Mr. Grande asked with the estimate now cut in half if the board would take the money from its own budget. Board members agreed, but only if the finance committee says no to the $5,000 transfer.
Selectmen had their first reading of proposed parking regulations, but agreed to hold a public hearing before putting them in place. Among the changes would be a kiosk system for the park and ride lot for long-term and commercial users of the lot.

Unpredictable weather conditions keep competitors guessing
Sailors were surprised to be drifting around the lake for the first race of the day when the predicted southerly wind died away to practically nothing after a couple of starts had got away. OOD Mike Baldwin and team had just enough wind to give everyone a lap of racing, except for the juniors who were shortened after just 3 legs were complete. Everyone was relieved to see the breeze fill in from the east during lunch and after some shifting of marks two good races were held in the afternoon in 5-8 knots, even requiring some hiking out at times!
The Lasers were better behaved this week on the start line although one had to return from an early jump. Garry Knott (Pennine) was impeccable again, knotching up 3 wins and clinching the series with 2 weekends remaining, a great achievement with the other talents around on the water. Howard Green (LLSC) showed his light weather skills, leading at times before adding a 2,3 combination to pull himself up the overall rankings. Paul Heath (LLSC) and George Graham (LLSC) both had good days with a 2nd place each, while Graham McWhirter (UKLA) hit two podium positions after skipping the drifter.
Steve Blackburn (LLSC) nudged back into the series lead after winning two races, now tied on points with Mark Platt (Bolton), who had all the 2's. Andy Flitcroft was the other major contender on the day, winning one and never dropping out of the top 3. These 3 will battle out the final positions over the next couple of weekends. Alan Burton-Roberts/Alex Pilkington (Gresford/Bolton) started the day well in their Merlin with a 3rd place but were unfortunately black-flagged in the last.
The Asymmetric Fleet were so excited by the prospect of a windward-leeward course in Race 2 that they were recalled, and even on the black flag restart everyone was tight to the line, all looking to get the early advantage. Richard Catchpole/Gary Coop (LLSC) claimed the first race, but Dave Exley took over the pacesetter role in the later two races. The finishes in Race 2/3 were all very tight with boats finishing within a few seconds of each other, great racing! Hamish Gledhill/Simon Dowse (West Riding) marked their return to the fleet from injuries by hitting the podium in all 3 races. The series is still open for 3 teams to win it, watch this space...
Nik James (LLSC) clearly reveled in these conditions with a 1,3,1 to make the most of the day while Steve Ferrington (West Kirby) kept in touch, winning Race 2. Chris Helsby (LLSC) and Dave Kelsall (LLSC) drifted patiently to be well-positioned in the first race.
The top 4 juniors were all in action this weekend. Thomas Link (LLSC) took the first with a whole leg lead in the light conditions. Ben Welfare enjoyed the moderate breezes in the 2nd and 3rd races to take a bullet in both, sailing his Optimist to good effect on handicap against the Toppers. Daisy Fisher (Hollingworth) dropped back some points in the overall standings this week but still leads the series overall - this one is going to go down to the wire!
Full results can be found here.
The Marlow Tipsy Icicle Series continues next week, still at the earlier start time of 11.30am with 3 races planned to make up the lost races earlier in the series.

LOS ANGELES—This spring, I visited game studio Infinity Ward to learn about its upcoming "reimagining" of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. During the reveal event, the studio's reps mentioned multiple "pillars" of the upcoming CoD game, set to launch October 25, then focused on the game's single-player missions.
Shortly after that, someone walked into the room and said, "the rest of this event is indefinitely embargoed," then took the wraps off of arguably the best thing I've seen in a CoD game in years: a two-on-two "Gunfight" versus mode.
That embargo is finally up, following an official Gunfight gameplay reveal on Twitch this morning, so now I can finally tell you about a first-person versus mode that combines the original frantic action of 2007's CoD4:MW and the utter tension of Counter-Strike. In a gaming landscape forever altered by battle royale modes, Gunfight makes the case that sometimes, less is more.
