5000 Persistent User Scale out Test with Citrix XenDesktop and Atlantis Computing
This paper documents persistent desktop scale out performance testing that was done at the Lenovo solution lab in Austin, Texas. The goal was to test 5000 persistent desktops by using a combination of Lenovo® servers and networking, IBM® FlashSystem™ storage, and Atlantis Computing® software.
This paper includes the following sections:
- Section 1 describes the hardware and software components that were used in the Lenovo Client Virtualization (LVC) solution for Citrix XenDesktop.
- Section 2 describes the methodology and tools that were used for the scale out performance test including Login VSI.
- Section 3 describes the hardware configuration that was used.
- Section 4 describes the software configuration that was used.
- Section 5 describes the performance results.
The Lenovo results show a best in class achievement of 5000 persistent desktops with Citrix XenDesktop.
This type of result has not been documented before, partly because 5000 persistent desktops require a significant investment in storage. However, as shown in this paper, a combination of Atlantis Computing software and IBM FlashSystem storage turns the usual I/O performance problem into a non-event. Without data reduction technology, enterprise class flash storage can be expensive. The Atlantis Computing de-duplication and compression facilities make it cost effective (the storage cost for 5000 users is less than $130 per user, including the Atlantis license). Moreover, the performance of logging onto a desktop in 16 seconds and rebooting 5000 desktops in 20 minutes makes this system easy to use for users and IT staff.
A total of 35 Lenovo Flex System servers in 30U were used to support 5000 users with up to 160 persistent users per server. The Lenovo servers provide a dense and cost effective solution in terms of CAPEX and OPEX. The performance results show that the usual persistent desktop I/O problem was effectively eliminated and the compute server performance is the driving factor. More compute servers can be added to support more users or more compute intensive users; it all depends on the individual customer environment and user load.

Astronomy of the Milky Way pp 1-6 | Cite as
The Milky Way
- 975 Downloads
Most of us are familiar with the Milky Way. We may be lucky enough to live in a dark location and can see the misty band of light that stretches across the sky (see Fig. 1.1). Others may live in an urban location and so can only glimpse the Milky Way as a faint hazy patch that envelopes several constellations. But how many of us make a point of observing the Milky Way as a celestial object in its own right? Rather few, it seems, which is a pity as it holds a plethora of wonderful delights, ranging from deeply colored double- and multiple-star systems to immense glowing clouds of gas and mysterious dark nebulae that literally blacken the sky. It also holds quite a few star clusters that literally look like diamonds sprinkled on black velvet, not to mention the occasional neutron star, black hole and possible extrasolar planetary system! In fact, you could spend an entire career observing the Milky Way.

I am finally getting around to talking about my trip to Disneyland a while back! My friend Amanda and I went down just for fun and it was a blast. I love Disneyland this time of year because they decorate for Halloween and there are so many characters out and about. I seriously could have spend an entire day just waiting in line to see all the characters there were so many. If you haven't been to Disneyland during Halloween (or even at all) you are seriously missing out. I don't have much to say other than everything was perfect. The weather, the lines, no rides were closed, the decorations, everything was prime! So here are a bunch of photos 🙂
Churros are my FAVORITE thing about Disneyland! So of course I had 7…
Apparently they have these sweet red doors in California adventure! Who knew? Reminds me so much of Ireland. They have the best doors there and little houses there.
We had a great time during our quick two day trip. We were able to do every ride we wanted and I got an annual pass! Who wants to plan a trip with me??

Small businesses are put on the map by East End Trades Guild fighting for fair rents
PUBLISHED: 12:04 03 October 2018 | UPDATED: 14:56 03 October 2018
© Sarah Ainslie
A hand-drawn map to help east London's small traders in the run-up to the Christmas shopping spree is being prepared by artist Adam Dant.
The deadline for independent businesses to be included in this year's East End Trades Guild map is October 22.
The guild which launched a 'Spacehive' crowdfunding recruitment drive this week is distributing 30,000 copies on 'Small Business Saturday' in December.
The crowdfunding has reached 60 per cent in its first week, with new members being signed up in the fight for fair rents and rates and winning concessions for railway arches from TfL and Network Rail.
"The guild has given me confidence to take on Network Rail to fight their outrageous rent rises," Guardians of the Arches campaigner Leni Jones said. "It has opened up collective power, where real people are taking back control of their circumstances."
The guild's 250 members have also launched an 'Affordable Workspace' manifesto on commercial rents to "create a level playing field" for independent traders.

If you're worried the stock market might be peaking, you may be wondering if your next venture lays with Structured Products. But are they a good investment? To help you figure this out, we delve into whether structured products are a good investment for your portfolio.
What Are Structured Products?
Structured products are a fixed-term investment that typically lasts between 3 and 10 years. Structured products follow the stock market index (commonly FTSE 100) or what is known as a 'basket' of companies.
As the value of the FTSE 100 or the basket of companies rises over the 3-10 year period, the probability of the target return rate being met once the investment reaches full maturity increases. It is paramount to remember that there are two different types of structured products.
Structured Deposits
Structured Deposits can be seen as a mixture of a savings account and an investment. With Structured Deposits, your money is protected and even if the value of the underlying stock market index falls. They are considered a lower-medium risk. (Browse our Structured Deposit Plans here)
Structured Investments
Structured Investments are also known as capital-at-risk accounts. They will typically provide you with a higher return than a Structured Deposit account. With this type of structured product, you risk losing the money if the underlying stock market index fails to perform. It's similar to buying shares in a company. (Browse our Structured Investment Plans here)
Are Structured Products a Good Investment for me?
Despite their past and their complexity, studies have proven that Structured Products mostly provide a positive return for their investors.
Lowes Financial Management recently conducted a study on 353 Structured Products this year. 93.77% that matured in the first half of 2017 generated positive returns for investors. 3.68% returned investors' money without any profit and only 2.55% had a loss on their original investment. All of these products utilised the FTSE 100 Index as their underlying measurement.
In the past, Structured Products were subject to mis-selling scandals due to the sellers not fully understanding the product. For example, it was claimed that Lloyds Bank mislead their consumers with an impression of a highly likely return through Structured Products.
Due to this, we would suggest that anyone looking to invest in Structured Products has a clear understanding that there is a chance you may not make any return at all. As long as you understand that basis, Structured Products are a good investment for all portfolios.
To ensure you do not 'put all your eggs in one basket', we would suggest that investments of all types should be diversified over different providers. This includes using different counterparties and time horizons. This how a professional 'advisor' would look to construct an investment portfolio on behalf of an investor. To achieve a good investment, a balanced range of investment solutions is the best way to construct your investment strategy.
Always ensure you have sufficient liquid monies available for shorter-term needs and that investment volatility (bumps in the road and direction of travel) is always a feature when choosing an investment.
What are the Benefits of Structured Products?
Structured Products are a good investment if you don't want to risk all of your capital. As the majority of your money is set aside for protection, Structured Products offer a medium risk method of investing. You will only lose on this investment if the counterparty or deposit taker becomes solvent.
However, if the worst does happen, you may be entitled to receive compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or your bank. This is only if you invested in a Structured Deposit as Structured Investments are not protected in the same way.
– Related post: Compensation for Bad Pension Advice.
The headline rate is also the highest return payable from a structured investment. It is payable on a 'simple' return basis rather than compounding over the duration of the product's term. For example, 8.25 percent times 6 years the return would not be greater than this if the index to which the tranche was linked outperformed.
What are the Risks of Structured Products?
Even though it is unlikely, there is a chance that your Structured Product investment may provide no return. They could even produce a loss when they mature. This could be due to inflation or unfortunate circumstances with your deposit taker. If the FTSE 100 fell by 50 percent or more, your capital invested will also be reduced.
Your money is at the hands of your counterparty or deposit taker. Therefore, if they become solvent, you lose your deposit. However, as previously mentioned, is worth keeping in mind that some Structured Product plans are protected by the FSCS so you may be able to get this money back.
It is vital that investors read and fully understand the details of the contract term prior to investing. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice. Best Price Financial Services offer advice for just a 1.5% setup fee – which is lower than almost every other provider. Our advice will ensure you receive all the help and direction you need when choosing the right structured product for you. You can contact us here.

Movie review: Little Boxes
This movie is one of those movie that makes us go "Hey this is like me" or "I swear to god. They are spying on my life" when we watched it. Throughout the movie, scene by scene, there will be a lot of time that you will find yourself nodding and agreeing. This movie is good because of the conflict that being presented are the very problems we, the normal human beings are facing.
The flow of the movie was consistent and grows persistently, from the beginning where the goodbyes were not rushed and the storyline made it clear that this family decided to move from the city into a suburb for the sake of stability and health benefits.
It's the decision we made when we were looking for better opportunities not only to ourselves but for the family. In the middle of the plot, goes about the family tried to cope with new surrounding and environment ie molded house and predominantly white neighborhood.
Towards the end, not like any ordinary cliche ending, it doesn't show that the family had already adjusted instead the plot give us a space for our imagination on creating the endless possibilities. Its just displayed their mundane routine while struggling with their conflicts like us normally do.
Even though throughout the movie they were no clear racists remarks were made, but there were a lot of subtle unconscious racist remarks in which these are what normal people do. For example the father who's played by Nelsan Ellis, was walking down his neighborhood road when he was stopped by one of his neighbor and instantly was asked "Can I help you?" as if the father who is black and have no business walking around. Or when their kid went to one of their new neighbor's house and was asked "what kind of rap do you like". It's the little subtle thing that we do to other races that were taught to us when we grow up. While these subtle racist remarks seems harmless and normal but that doesn't mean it is not hurtful.
Overall this movie is brilliant with great music choices. The acts were so seemingly natural by the actors as if they were acting out their daily lives.

MICHAEL WHITE: Why putting the country's plight in perspective offers no comfort
PUBLISHED: 12:41 16 January 2019
MICHAEL WHITE says the most likely next steps will involve an extension of Article 50.
Become a Supporter
Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
She doesn't do graceful, does she? Theresa May's reaction to her spectacular defeat at the hands of MPs was neither to apologise for her own evident failure nor to admit that she had got it badly wrong. Theresa the Brexit Bull just snorted, put her bloodied head down and signalled her determination to charge the encircling Commons matadors again as soon as she gets her breath back.
We all know what always happens in the end to bulls cornered in the bullring, however stubbornly defiant they are. On the telly in the wake of Tuesday night's 432-202 rebuff (gasps of astonishment from MPs) Peter Mandelson mildly observed: "Heaven knows how she could have constructed such a majority against her." May had won over just one more MP than backed her in the botched leadership challenge in December.
With Jeremy Corbyn and Jacob Rees-Mogg in the same voting lobby British populist politics have reached the same dizzy state as Italy's Five Star-Lega coalition or Alexis Tsipras's left-right partnership, currently breaking up over the agreed name for Northern Macedonia, in Athens. At least when Ramsay MacDonald's minority Labour government was defeated by 166 votes – the previous record – over its decision to drop the prosecution of the communist journalist, John Ross Campbell, for incitement to mutiny in 1924, the damage was done by Tories and Liberals. May lost everyone but her loyalists and (of course) the ever-absent Sinn Fein, as smugly self-absorbed in its way as the DUP.
Substance and style, the answer to the Mandelson question was pretty obvious, wasn't it? She doesn't confide in her colleagues, let alone her backbenchers and voters out there who are desperate to get Brexit over with one way or the other. Inflexible to a fault, she finds it hard to persuade, even harder to find the language in which to do so. On Tuesday night she offered – far too late – to consult with senior MPs on all sides about the way forward (not much time for that before Monday), then to head back to Brussels with negotiable ideas that might command majority support in Westminster. Loyalist Oliver Letwin tells her to give ground. Will she?
The Labour leader's immediate motion of no confidence? Bring it on, even if he bottles it overnight, May said. She isn't trying to run the clock down to a hard Brexit on March 29 or to renege on her promise to Brexit voters "to deliver on their instruction", she assured the House. But the thrust of May's brief remarks at the dispatch box – her stamina at least is Thatcheresque – was to blame MPs. The House had voted down her plan, but "told us nothing about what it DOES support".
Fair point and the PM's 585 page Withdrawal Agreement, signed in black and white with the EU27, remains her strongest card in a weakening hand. Almost everybody says they hate it, but Tuesday night shows it commands 202 votes which – on the evidence so far – is still more than any of the alternatives. Outside in Parliament Square, where rival factions had assembled on front of large television screens, both sides were delighted that the 'no mates' deal had been so brutally flattened despite the PM's plea in Stoke to "take a second look".
Should we stand by for a third or even fourth look in the coming weeks? Despite Letwin's tactful hints, May obviously still thinks so because she is persuaded there's no alternative. But hard Brexit advocates know for a fact that there is. The European Not Much Research Group (ERG) issued a statement advocating a twin-track response: prepare for a no-deal Brexit on WTO terms ("not the end of the world," tweeted Guru Mogg) while going back to Brussels and telling Juncker, Barnier and Co to do better. It's all about us.
Fresh from making headlines with his new love nest (some people get their priorities right in a crisis, eh!) Boris Johnson called May's thumping a "massive mandate" to cheer up and tell Brussels "the deal you've given us won't work" – so give us another one. Cake-ism is back! We won't have to pay them the £39 billion and that 230 majority gives us huge "leverage" said David Davis. Just look at the state of the German car industry and wider economy. If Britains acts tough "they would come knocking at our door," Nigel Farage told a notably sceptical Andrew Neil on the BBC.
Perhaps they're right. Germany's economy does hover on the brink of recession. The car industry is taking a caning, like most old tech fossil fuel car firms, including ours. But the overwhelming evidence is that they're wrong again. Thus John Redwood's repeated insistence that we may not be legally obliged to pay our divorce bill under EU law isn't likely to prove correct under international law, that erstwhile Brexit hero, attorney general, Geoffrey Cox, told MPs (again) on Tuesday. The fantasy lives on.
It was Cox, genial but exasperated, who offered the day's anguished sound bite from the May camp. If a litigant reaching a deal under EU law to provide certainty for his business suddenly had the rug pulled "he would say 'what are you playing at, what are you doing? You are not children in the playground, you are legislators and this is your job'… we are playing with people's lives," engaged in the complex task of separating 45 years of legal integration in ways that restore certainty.
All that notwithstanding Team Mogg held a champagne reception at Jake's place. Similar euphoria could be detected among Remain activists watching the big screens outside Parliament. Like Sir Vince Cable who detected "the beginning of the end of Brexit" – as did Andrew Adonis in last week's TNE column – they hope the left-right-and-centre alliance against May's WA has dealt the project a mortal blow. In the City sterling even rose on the result - against expectation.
Apparently the money men share Sir Vince's optimism. Like SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, and her pointman in SW1, Ian Blackford, he wants to People's Vote. Not to be outdone, the Times's brainy economics correspondent, Philip Aldrick, argues that (according to psychological studies of the path to consensus) it may have to be the best of three: the second vote merely reacts against the first, but the third is balanced.
As expected the Labour leader was still resisting pressure to back a second referendum in which he might have to choose between his Remain activists and his heartland Brexit voters. Instead he called for the general election he claims to want as the best route out of the quagmire. After Tuesday night's result caught me napping – like John McDonnell I had expected a smaller majority – it would be a rash prediction to say " Jeremy lost, right?" when you know the result of Wednesday night's vote and I don't. But I'll risk it anyway. He lost. But did he back a People's Vote?
It was Dominic Grieve, whose grace and consistency under pressure has made him one of few heroes of this grisly saga, who best explained why so many people on both sides saw May's package as a failure. No one could have achieved more than Mrs May, the sacked Attorney General generously claimed (not true, but let it pass). But the shared dismay of Brexit and Remain MPs in the voting lobbies were the moment when Brexit dreams finally collided with reality about what is possible.
Even back-seat driver Farage on TV came close to saying that he'd prefer No Brexit to May's deal, though he argued it should have been handled as a WTO plus free trade negotiation from the start. As for Remainers, says Grieve their disaffection stems from the conclusion that May's deal is worse than the one we already have : No Brexit. But he'd vote to honour the referendum if MPs could find a less damaging form of Brexit.
"Tell us what you want," frustrated EU leaders bellowed again from their respective capitals, gloomy at the prospect of still more distraction from their own pressing problems. "Time is almost up," said Juncker. Clarity may be what the next few days still fails to provide. The Norway option? Mandelson savaged it on these pages last month. Oil, fish and farming being outside the EU matter to Norway in ways they do not to service-dominated Britain.
Consultation and indicative votes on the options? May did not explicitly say she would try to consult with Corbyn and Tory chairman, Brandon Lewis, apparently warned her in cabinet that they party would not wear it. Pressure on wavering Dublin over the border? A request for a pause in the Article 50 timetable to allow a rethink? Even a unilateral UK reversal of A50 though such a move cannot be temporary, the ECJ's December ruling made plain. Ken Clarke seems to have been wrong about that.
On the morning after the turbulent night before, the request for extra time seems the most likely runner. Determined not to blink first, EU leaders still evidently believe that Britain is on the familiar arc towards a second referendum – the usual EU way. Council president, Donald Tusk, as good as spelled it out. "Who will have the courage to say so?" he tweeted. In uncharted waters we shall soon found out.
In the run-up to what turned out to be just one "meaningful vote " after all - most amendments withdrawn to allow a straight vote on May's deal - much of the week's surplus wrath had been directed at Speaker Bercow for allowing the resourceful Grieve's "report back in three working days" amendment to be attached to the government's Brexit motion and voted on without debate.
In doing so Bercow contradicted a 130-year--old standing order (SO14) which gave ministers a monopoly over Commons business motions. It was duly carried last Wednesday by 11 votes to the outrage of rightwing Conservative MPs. Will it make much difference to the substantial issue, apart from requiring May to put up Plan B by Monday (three sitting days) instead of the leisurely run-the-clock-down 21 days ? As with everything else it's hard to say. But every day matters now: there are barely 70 left.
But in overturning parliamentary precedent (against the advice of the Clerk of the House) Bercow certainly created another precedent, one which may allow future backbenchers to assert their collective muscle against the executive branch of government across Parliament Square.
Remember that it was to curb Irish Nationalist filibusters which so badly disrupted parliamentary business the 1880s that that SO14 rule was introduced, as new machine party discipline asserted itself over the mid-century disorder of the kind Anthony Trollope lovingly wrote about. Remember too that Bercow's central role in the drama – as I never tire of pointing out – came about because of the short-sighted campaign against his predecessor by Brexit Tories, led by Douglas "Kamikaze" Carswell.
Himself a former rightwinger, Bercow can be tactless, rude, egocentric and boorish, a private bully to by many accounts. He was prolix and full of himself at the climax of Tuesday's five-day debate. There is a good case for saying he shows persistent bias towards Labour whose votes elected him in 2009. But he is a reformer and the consistent thread in his Speakership is that he has promoted the backbench Commons interests against the government of the day, not least by forcing ministers to answer urgent questions.
So, as Class of 1970's Ken Clarke remarked, he has tilted the balance of power back to parliament after decades when it atrophied. "Family friendly" sitting times introduced by both Labour and Tory governments weakened backbench power while giving MPs an easier life – much as those expenses bungs did before the 2009 scandal. Bercow is part of the post-2009 reform movement, along with elected select committee chairs (more independent by virtue of not being appointed by whips office fixes) who may play such an important role in the weeks ahead.
Thoughtful MPs know this and are willing to put up with Bercow's silly side, much as admirers of Evelyn Waugh's novels put up with his private awfulness. So I was impressed that Jacob Rees-Mogg, as well as Sir Christopher Chope, both Brexit MPs, spoke in defence of Bercow's right to do as he did – even though they disagreed with his decision on Grieve's amendment. Chope pointed out that in 2013 Bercow had allowed Eurosceptics to amend the Queen's Speech, thereby tilting Cameron towards his fateful referendum pledge two years later.
Raucous partisanship is so routine now that some cynical voters can't imagine the two MPs were acting in a "disinterested" way – ie impartially or that Bercow was either. The very word is in danger of being treated as meaning "uninterested." It's the same shallow thinking that led the Twitter mob to denounce John Redwood for accepting a knighthood. As if Sir Vulcan would ever compromise his Hard Brexit purity. This week he has been as silly as ever.
But MPs and voters who backed Brexit to reassert "parliamentary sovereignty" over the over-mighty, unaccountable (etc etc) European Union can hardly complain when MPs also assert themselves over their own minority government with its own democratic deficit. But, of course, they do, many out of sheer inexperience and herd instinct, some because they really do believe in popular sovereignty via referendums, plebiscites or propositions, as Californians call them. Social media buff, Tory-to-Ukip MP Douglas Carswell, was one.
So it was interesting to hear John McDonnell, increasingly Labour's de facto leader after Jeremy Corbyn's Brexit non-speech in Britain's rhubarb capital of Wakefield last week, on Radio 4 to praise backbenchers for adopting individual positions of conscience over the Brexit vote, Parliament at its best, he said. We will hold Marxist John to that wholesome proposition if he ever becomes Chancellor McDonnell. As May is discovering – and Anthony Trollope fans already knew – it is not a recipe for efficient government.
That is also the weakness of the Letwin/ Nick Boles/Nicky Morgan plan to let liaison committee, made up of all 27 select committee chairs, devise a Plan C if all else fails. Even under the chairmanship of saintly GP-MP, Sarah Wollaston, who heads the liaison committee, the 27 are as divided as everyone else. Remainers have a majority – as they do among MPs, 70% of whom voted so in 2016. Unless there is a Leninist lurking among them and able to seize the moment, the Letwin mechanism is likely to stall too without more statecraft than has been visible lately.
May herself contributes to assorted forces - Trots, gillet jaunestreet warriors and genteel lady columnists among them - seeking to delegitimize the democratic process by crying "betrayal" whenever they feel thwarted. Every time she repeats her mantra that failing to back the deal she struck in Brussels in November would be a " subversion of democracy" – as she did in Stoke (" Brexit capital of Britain") and elsewhere, she does us all a disservice.
Her Welsh gaffe in Stoke, the text hastily amended after it had been issued, demonstrates the absence of a long perspective in May's mind, and of bad No 10 staff work too. No, the narrow 0.3% referendum win for a Cardiff assembly in 1997 was not "accepted by both sides," as the text had claimed. As a new MP she voted against the legislation herself. Nor, as some commentators blandly assert, are other referendum routinely accepted by the losing side here, in Europe or the US where "proposition" ballots on election day are as routine as they are in Switzerland – and often just as damaging. Who do you think voted for California's high-spending-low-tax debt mountain? The voters did.
So write out 100 times, prime minister, "Disagreeing with you or with each other, or even with 51.8% of voters on a 72.2% turnout, is not a subversion of democracy, it is a manifestation of democracy." It really is OK for Dominic Grieve to argue that Brexit is a form of "national suicide" (personally, I think that's going a little far) and for Liam Fox to say that, while he supports the PM, the Hard Brexit option wouldn't be too bad (much too far). It's even OK for Gareth Johnson (oh no, not another Johnson) to alert the world to his existence by resigning as a Tory whip on St Crispin's Eve. They know where you live, Gareth.
It's especially worth repeating this and hosing down wall-to-wall doom and gloom. We have survived crises as acute as this one this and probably will do so again. In our 24/7 instant world we just forget past traumas too quickly. Poll tax riots, IMF crisis, miners strike, General Strike, Dunkirk, Suez and the Somme. What ought to worry us more – except we're too busy wrapped up in our local drama – is that Brexit is part of a wider resurgence of angry, populist nationalism around the world where Polish mayors get murdered and the White House casually threatens to devastate allies. It may make us wish we'd been concentrating harder on the bigger picture.

Dirty mouth or dirty heart?
James 3:9-11
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
As Christians, it is important to be examples in everything we do and say. When you say hurtful things, curse or spout off in anger, you weaken your Christian walk to those witnessing it.
Our mouth speaks from our heart (Matthew 12:34), so the lack of control is more of a heart condition than a mouth problem. Get into the word and get your heart healthy, then your tongue will follow along.
If you don't know Jesus, please let me introduce you.

The beautiful and historic town of Hay-on-Wye sits aside the River Wye at the northern end of the Brecon Beacons on the border between Wales and England. This makes Hay a perfect place to book a holiday let from which to explore the Welsh border country – a land of mountains, idyllic countryside and ancient stone castles.
Hay-on-Wye is perhaps best known as the 'Town of Books', There are bookshops to be found in just about every town centre street while the Hay Book Festival held in the town every May is by common consent, the best of its kind in the UK.
Aside from the world famous book festival the town plays host to a regular programme of festivals and events. Those seeking a pre-Christmas break should book a holiday home for the last weekend in November to enjoy the combined Winter Food Festival and the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.
Please try widening your search by removing some of the search criteria you have used or changing the dates.

The most notable landmark in Hay is the ruined castle dating from the 13th Century and knocked about a bit over the centuries. There's a second castle in the town built in Norman times or which some ruins also remain.
Aside from the world famous book festival, the town plays host to a regular programme of festivals and events. Those seeking a pre-Christmas break should book a holiday cottage for the last weekend in November to enjoy the combined Winter Food Festival and the Hay Festival Winter Weekend. Other notable nearby festivals include the Brecon Jazz Festival and the Prestigne Festival of classical music.
There's plenty for visitors to do and see in Hay-on-Wye. Canoe down the river from Glasbury-on-Wye or fish on the River Wye, generally acknowledged as one of the finest salmon and coarse fishing rivers in Engalnd and Wales.
There are also some lovely walks within the town including the short 1.5 mile Bailey Walk which follows the bank of the Wye offers some lovely picnic spots. Walk, swim or just stretch out on the River Bank for a leisurely afternoon in the sun.
Wander further afield and visitors can lose themselves in the Black Mountains or Radnorshire's green hills, making the place a mecca for self catering walking and mountain biking holidays.
Visit the attractive 13th Century ruins of nearby Llanthony Priory or just put on your walking boots and head for the hills – the Brecon Beacons National Park which embraces the Black Mountains are right on the town's doorstep. The Offa's Dyke footpath also passes close to Wye.

We can't say that some subset of our experience is the presence of God.

Dear Friends
I was contacted recently on Quakerquaker by someone calling themselves 'Elizabeth Waves' who was due to receive an inheritance of £2 million and wanted me to act as 'trustee'. It is obviously a scam, but I felt it was worth mentioning as it seems they are able to contact individual members directly. I'm not sure who administers the site but could anyone reading this please ensure that he/she is made aware of this.

It happens that the Spirit of Christ makes visitation upon our consciousness and conscience and his Image is come and we can witness the second coming, the Daystar, within our consciousness. The formation of the inshining Image or Presence within initiates a shift in the very nature of consciousness and conscience. The witness and awareness of Christ's inshining Presence manifests a way of being wherein consciousness and personal identity is established in the forming Image of Christ itself…Continue

My husband and I stayed at Sunrise Cove at Village West for one week for our anniversary! It was amazing, beautiful, relaxing and fun! A myriad of things to do or simply relax, read, walk and enjoy each other. It was very romantic. But next time we will bring our grandchildren as there are so many activities for them to enjoy. Every water sport you can imagine, an amazing amusement park, theaters, dining, parks and bike trails. They also had fun marinas with live music constantly and fabulous dining! I so recommend Sunrise Cove at Village West!

Capitalising on record development, AccorHotels revenue goes up 17.7%
In 2017, AccorHotels benefited from very strong business in the majority of its key markets, significantly increasing its operating margins and results on the back of tight cost control, the synergies resulting from its acquisition of FRHI and careful management of digital expenses. Capitalising on record development with the opening of 51,413 rooms (301 hotels), of which 94% operated under management and franchise contracts (including 10,000 rooms for Rixos Hotels and BHG), the Group ended 2017 with a hotel portfolio of 6,16,181 rooms (4,283 hotels) and a pipeline of 1,61,000 rooms (874 hotels), 78% of which in emerging markets and 47% in the Asia-Pacific region.
Sébastien Bazin, chairman and CEO of AccorHotels.
Consolidated 2017 revenue amounted to €1,937 million, up 7.9% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates (like-for-like) and 17.7% as reported compared with 2016. The difference between the like-for-like and reported changes stems primarily from the consolidation of FRHI and from the new businesses (+12.9%).
Sébastien Bazin, chairman and CEO of AccorHotels, said, "AccorHotels' earnings for 2017 mark another leap in performance, with excellent operating results and record development. The Group continues to benefit from positive market trends with a confirmed increase in volumes. Against this buoyant backdrop, AccorHotels continues to pursue its dynamic trajectory, consolidate its market share and enrich its range of services for customers and partners. By developing our 'augmented hospitality' model, we are at the forefront of an industry that is constantly transforming and has unlimited prospects."
Hotel Services reported business volume of €17.9 billion, up 19% (at constant exchange rates), and revenue of €1,746 million, up 14.6% as reported and 5.1% like-for-like. Very well oriented, the Asia-Pacific region turned in revenue growth of 7.7%, thanks to excellent trends in the Economy (+14%) and luxury/upscale (+12%) segments.
Organic development reached new record levels in 2017. AccorHotels opened 264 new hotels, representing more than 40,802 rooms; it enjoys very encouraging prospects, with a pipeline of 874 hotels and 1,61,000 rooms.

Once again it's Friday and I am participating in the Special needs Ryan Gosling meme started by Sunday Stillwell at http://www.extremeparenthood.com/ -Adventures in Extreme Parenthood. You can find more of these on her blog.
It's so great to not have to go through those IEP meetings anymore. I was clueless during most of the IEP years because The Boy wasn't diagnosed with Asperger's until almost high school. During the beginning years I was just grateful for ANYTHING the school offered him, including speech therapy before he even started kindergarten.
Mrs. F, The Boy's speech therapist in elementary school was a blessing to us. The Boy started speech therapy with her when he was just 3 years old, after his preschool teachers were concerned about his speech.
These first teachers actually thought he had a hearing problem which we quickly ruled out through testing. They also were the ones who told me to contact the school because he might be eligible for free speech therapy even though he was two years away from going to kindergarten.
We were so lucky to get him in with Mrs. F, the speech therapist. By the time he started kindergarten he was already familiar with the elementary school (after going there 2 or 3 time a week for two years) and he was in speech with Mrs. F from age 3 until third grade.
During the elementary school years, she recommended the teachers she thought would work best with The Boy and so every year I didn't worry. He was always placed with teachers that he liked and worked well with. That didn't always happen during middle and high schools when he had to change classes and had a different teacher for every subject.
It wasn't necessarily the IEP meetings that were the worst. I actually only remember two IEP meetings when I didn't agree with what the school. One was his Junior year when they were going to take away one of his accommodations which let him turn work in late.
He was going to loose this accommodation starting his Senior year, which they said would help "prepare" him for college. I sucked it up and decided not to try to fight it and in the end, The Boy didn't need it anyway. He was pretty motivated his Senior year to get out of that place.
The worst meetings were the parent/teacher meetings that I had to schedule when one or more of the teachers weren't following the IEP or were just clueless about The Boy's differences. It seemed like EVERY year during middle school that there was at least one teacher who was completely inflexible and was just going to stay that way no matter what.
Most of the other teachers were very accommodating and almost all of his special ed teachers were extremely helpful, but limited on what they could do since during middle school he was just diagnosed with ADD, which basically didn't get you much back then. Having an Asperger's diagnosis changed everything for The Boy when he made it to high school.
However, during 6th grade I had at least twelve of these parent/teacher meetings throughout the year and The Boy ended up having to go to summer school anyway. The Boy actually liked summer school and did well there. He had to attend summer school after his Freshman and Sophomore years too.
Having less classes to focus on was very beneficial to him during the summer. During a normal semester of school, he struggled trying to keep up with 5 or 6 classes. I always thought he would have done better if the semesters were shorter with 3 or 4 during a normal school year instead of 2 and each semester having only 2 or 3 classes at a time.
Who knows. I'm just glad he's out of high school. He is too!

Saudi start-up airline flyadeal is looking to seal a deal for 50 aircraft as part of its ambitious expansion plans.
The low-fare operator, owned by national flag carrier Saudia, only began operations five months ago and currently has five Airbus A320s in action, which will rise to eight by mid-year. But it just recently put out a request for proposals for 50 aircraft, its CEO Con Korfiatis said during a panel discussion at the Aviation Festival Asia.
Participating in a panel in the World Low Cost Airlines Congress channel at the event, Korfiatis told a packed audience in Singapore: "People are loving it – it's massively expanding the market. We've only been around for five months and we've only got five aircraft, so we're barely scratching the surface.
"We're so confident that three months after kicking off we went with an RFT for up to 50 aircraft. You don't see a lot of that." He didn't specify which of the manufacturers it was talking to, but it's existing Airbus fleet and its strong focus on keeping costs low may influence it towards remaining a one-make operator.
He added that with a population of 32 million in Saudi Arabia, and its inhabitants "propensity for outbound travel," there was plenty of room for growth. But he also flagged up the major opportunities that are represented by inbound travellers. "It's really exciting, we are home to the two most religious Islamic sites in the world with an insatiable thirst from people to come to those sites."
However, at present the market was artificially constrained to a certain extent by the country's airport capacity, Jeddah in particular, with around eight million passengers a year at present. The Saudi government has announced a strategy for a new Jeddah terminal before the end of this year that will significantly expand capacity, said Korfiatis.
"That eight million will grow to 30 million – so how many more aircraft does that market need to bring that amount of traffic from an inbound point of view? It's far from a congested space in low-cost in that part of the world, and it's got a tremendous future in front of it."

DPhil Programme in Management Studies
Started in 2013
Did you know the Bodleian Libraries stock at least 10 copies of Cat in the Hat?
My research requires me to read many children's books. As I realized this, I began to despair at the thought of hassling my parent-friends to give me access to their crayoned collections. I shouldn't have worried. Across the university, the Bodleian libraries, and the colleges, there's no shortage of high prose such as Room on the Broom or Where the Wild Things Are. Somewhere in the bowels of a Cheshire salt mine, there's an entire children's library waiting to be dog-eared. In multiples. What are you doing this Christmas?
The wonders of Oxford's libraries are numerous, and sometimes it's worth imagining what doctoral life would be like without them—if only to give oneself a tiny panic attack. Staff, especially here at the Sainsbury library, are absolutely brilliant: ready to respond to every query from the obscure to the ludicrous, I've never felt more uplifted than by a librarian who just 'gets' what you're after, both literally and figuratively. I think I'd rather give up the Internet.
But of course, libraries are also places, and whilst we're very lucky to have our own desks at Saïd Business School, the book stacks become many a student's second home. So every day, there's a new choice to be made: where to be, or not to be, productive? At the Business School, you delight in the companionship of colleagues and a true sense of belonging; whilst at the Bodleian libraries, you bask in the experience of the wider university and relative anonymity. College libraries often boast 24-hour access, a breeding ground for the deepest friendships. Coffee shops give a respite from the silence and hint at a life beyond the doctoral bubble. Because Oxford half shuts down on weekends, those who plough on sometimes resort to an awkward combination of all four, with a fairly probable culmination at the pub.
So let's say it's a Bodleian day. On this frosty morning, I head to the toasty Taylorian, which never fails to impress, and hope for the red Anglepoise desk that overlooks the St. Giles rooftops. In the distance, sometimes barely distinguishable in the December mist, two statuesque figures extend their arms in welcome. It finally dawns on me that they sit atop the Clarendon building, one of Oxford's most iconic; the city's monuments often go unnoticed in the stateliness of its architecture.
Something similar happens with Sainsbury's view of the rolling hills beyond Frideswide square: a reminder that the city really is quite rural. Or with the Gladstone Link, which is an underground passage that connects the main Bodleian to the Radcliffe Camera. Somewhat of a crossover between an elfish book-borrow and a Space Odyssey shaft, you'll notice a few glass-covered vents in the ceiling that give to one of Oxford's most frequented streets. Except where you are, underneath the trampling of tourist feet, it's dead quiet.
There's the hidden nook of the Pitt Rivers Balfour, and the glassy spaces of the Vere Harmsworth. There's the Union with the elderly perusing its dailies, and the Sackler that reminds me of a carousel. There's the Harry Potteresque Duke Humfrey's, and the swanky new Weston. Best of all, most radiant of all, there's the Radcliffe Camera itself—and that one desk that floods in dusty sunlight at 9AM. Charles Finch, in The September Society, describes this peculiar Oxon library magic as ineffability itself:
"There was something incommunicably grand about it, something difficult to understand unless you had spent your evenings there or walked past it on the way to celebrate the boat race, a magic that came from ignoring it a thousand times a day and then noticing its overwhelming beauty when you came out of a tiny alley and it caught you unexpectedly. A library—it didn't sound like much, but it was what made Oxford itself. The greatest library in the world."
Well, when you stumble home from your third Christmas dinner this month (the delights of end-of-term!), you might find yourself struck with its bookish glory.Back to top of article
