Muddy or Magnificent – Mieliepop 2018
It's your third year in a row going to Mieliepop, so you have a pretty good idea of what to expect. What to pack, where the good camping spots are, what time of day to go for a booze cruise, et cetera. But then, just a day or two before the festival, some horrible weather predictions start rolling in…
I'm not much of a summer-and-sun person to begin with, but music festivals are some of the rare occasions when I venture outdoors under a layer of sunscreen in exchange for cold beer and good live music. But Mieliepop 2018 turned out to be a little wet and muddy. So much that the roads into Tolderia resort, were extremely hard (sometimes impossible) to travel, and this caused several acts on the Friday to be late or rescheduled.

Beauty might be in the eye of the beerholder, but sometimes you don't even need that to appreciate what's around you 😎 . . #Mieliepop2018 #mieliepopfestival #republicofmieliepop #festivalkunkies #festivalchasers #igerssouthafrica #meetsouthafrica #southafrica #goodtimes #green #friends #people #weekend #stage #sound #musician #ilovemusic #music #festivallife #festival #musicislife #musicfestival #southafrica #travel #outdoors #mieliepop #festivals #sun #jagermeister #igerspretoria
Most attendees either prepared appropriately for the constant rain and cold, or embraced it — facing the muddy paths barefoot and laughing about it. Logistics-wise, the event organisers took several measures to make up for the weather: Big tents were set up over both stages and the audience areas directly in front of them (these could even have been useful in previous years, to shield sensitive skins like mine from the harsh midday sun), and straw was spread across the high-traffic path between stages and in front of the food stalls to help combat the constantly deepening mud.
As always at Mieliepop, the food stalls were high-quality — fitting for a 'boutique' music festival that provides more than a boerewors roll: everything from Greek shawarmas to gourmet fried chicken to paninis to mexican street food. And while the ice lolly stand wasn't as popular as usual, the coffee stand made a killing.
The obvious 'headline act' of the festival was DZ Deathrays, all the way from Australia. I have to confess to not knowing about them before their Mieliepop booking announcement, but it was clear that they have a ton of fans — probably a good couple of new ones too. Towards the end of their set, Cortina Whiplash started playing in front of a tiny group of twenty or so – apparently the only ones willing to tear themselves away from the big international act — though the audience soon filled out when DZ Deathrays finished.
For me, that specific scheduling conflict was a bit odd and probably avoidable under normal circumstances, but the weather had severly messed with the pre-existing plans. Because of the entrance roads, a couple of bands barely made it to their slots in time, and others failed to. We only found out afterwards that Moonchild Sanelly and Femi Koya ended up playing later slots to make up for their missed ones earlier. The flipside of that situation made for some pleasant surprises — Hellcats played an extra impromtu slot on Friday to keep the main stage busy.
But my favourite part of the lineup wasn't the big, familiar bands. As usual, Mieliepop managed to book an incredibly diverse, and top-notch lineup with groups like Sun Xa Experiment, Deon Bakkes and the Stolen Horses, Luma and Apocalypse Later representing various different genres and cultural corners — not to mention everyone from Haezer to Trancemicsoul to DSCO Cam to Nick Hamman & Lil Bow on the various decks, and a daily comedy lineup to lighten the weather-based blues featuring top notch comedy from Nina Hastie, Leah Jasmin, Warren Robertson, Mum-Z, Alyn Adams, and Thabiso Mlhongo.
My top "new discoveries"
Werner Bekker
I've seen Werner Bekker before, and he's been around forever, but this was apparently his first festival appearance, so his inclusion here is totally fair. Check out his brand new music video:
Van Pletzen feat Early B
Van Pletzen, the new group by Peach van Pletzen (Yesterday's Pupil, Bittereinder), and Matthieu Auriacombe (Hello Beautiful) is all about throwing worries and pretension out the window, and just having fun. The inclusion of super talented rapper Early B as guest performer in their set (and on their album) was a great choice to add some variety.
Easy Freak
Easy Freak is generally a little too pop-oriented for my mostly rock-based tastes, but seeing their live set for the first time proves you don't need much more than two guys to get a party going.
Zionruts Family
Zionruts Family played a light & pleasant reggae set, mixing original songs with the old familiar ones.
Half Sister
Jaco van der Merwe (Bittereinder), Louwrens Ferreira (Alan! Let's Move On), and Cynthia van der Mescht (Lectric Monks) recently started a new synth-rock-with-a-pinch-of-punk band called Half-Sister with a pair of singing sisters (confusing, right?)
So everything at the festival wasn't perfect — but what can you do when it's the weather that messes you about? Yes, maybe some better communication in regards to things like schedule changes would've been nice, but considering Mieliepop's serene lack of cellphone reception, I don't know what the solution would've been. Considering the available resources, I think they did a wonderful job, including the posting of weather warnings on social media ahead of time.
As always, Mieliepop also had great clean & warm showers, great food, facilities and views — even in seemingly never-ending rain. Add to that a pleasant atmosphere, friendly and spirited partygoers, and attendees that grow culturally and racially more diverse every year, and a small enough event that there are barely ever any queues and you never feel crowded. Although everything didn't go exactly according to plan, Mieliepop 2018 was still an amazing, multi-genre boutique festival worth climbing the hill in the rain so you can write home about. Does anyone know when ticket sales open for 2019?

Dear Citizens of the Republic of Mieliepop. It is with great humility and appreciation that we want to say THANK YOU! Our people have endured great hardships and challenges over this weekend's festival and at times it seemed like all hope was lost. Yet, even during our darkest hour our comrades remained hopeful and optimistic. Your spirit remained unbroken and your will to have a good time endured. For this we wish to express our deepest gratitude. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Our people have shown themselves to be tough as nails and our little Republic is stronger for it. Also, to the artists, the technical crew, the stage managers, the food vendors, the bartenders, the security personnel and the cleaning staff, we are greatly indebted to you for your unwavering commitment to keep the event going in spite of the elements. Things did not go as planned and yet all people involved channelled their inner Bear Grylls and followed his motto: Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. We hope that you all are safe and warm and clean and we trust that the stories will be told for many years to come. "The weather tried, but #Mieliepop2018 thrived!!" PS: We'll be posting the lost and found later today. . . . #mieliepopfestival #republicofmieliepop #festivaljunkies #festivalchasers #igerssouthafrica #meetsouthafrica #southafrica #goodtimes #green #friends #people #weekend #stage #sound #musician #ilovemusic #music #festivallife #festival #musicislife #musicfestival #southafrica #travel #outdoors #mieliepop #festivals #sun #jagermeister #igerspretoria

Student Spotlight
Messiah Gaymon '19
Messiah Gaymon's long, winding journey began in Brooklyn, where he lived with his mother and siblings, but without his absentee father. Because his mother had to work multiple jobs in order to support her family, she was unable to provide for them, and they wound up in foster care. Gaymon was five years old.
He went "switching from house to house," he says, hoping for a fit with the right family. It didn't happen until he was 14 years old. His savior turned out to be a man known as Apostle Ronald W. Gaymon— Messiah calls him Dad—who gave him both a stable, loving home and a spiritual education that eventually led to his becoming an associate pastor.
"I give credit to my [adoptive] dad," says Gaymon (Science, Technology & Society, '19). "He took a broken soul and showed me what it was to be loved and what it means to exist. Something I had not experienced having the kind of family I had. He showed me how to believe in the potential that was God-given and that man could never strip away. It's a message I have wrapped my life around and teach others today. Was it easy? No, but as my grandmother used to tell me, the best people in God were all broken."
Now 32, and a husband and a parent, Gaymon will be graduating in May 2019 with Farmingdale having played a valuable role in his life. He will not only be one of the oldest graduates this spring, but one with arguably the most varied experiences. It was only eight years ago that Gaymon was undecided between caring for his cancer-ridden grandmother and enlisting in the Air Force.
She gave him the advice that set his life on a new road. "I had always wanted to enlist, but once I got into the church, I felt I had a responsibility to cover the people who trusted me," he says. "Then my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and one day while taking care of her she spoke to me about responsibilities versus regrets. She told me to never let what I felt was my responsibility cause me to live a life of regret. Before she passed, she echoed those words in some of her last breaths. A year to her passing I graduated from basic training. So I knew I was in line with my destiny." Working as a maintenance flying crew chief and then senior airman, Gaymon captured 10 medals and awards, including one for saving the lives of his crew from a potentially fatal fire. He left the service at the end of 2015 and began looking for a college that would help him make up his mind about a career.
He chose Farmingdale for its reputation as a veteran-friendly campus. Now he is considering pursuing a law degree. He also runs the College's new American Legion Post and is president of the Student Government Association.
Gaymon joined the SGA as senator and was soon unanimously elected vice president. He immediately began transforming student government, developing a new logo to start rebranding an organization that did not get enough credit for its work. Next, he helped rewrite its constitution and by-laws. His motivation, he says, was to polish the SGA's image.

Not again
Whenever an important political event happens, you might wish to turn to the analysts in your newspaper as a means of digesting the news. You might also watch a current affairs discussion show on television, or tune into Radio 4 during your morning commute. What you are unlikely to do (we hope) is find out what a rock star thinks about it, right?
So we're at an odds to explain why news behemoth CNN took time out of their no doubt busy day by asking Bono what he thought about Saturday's release of Burmese democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi, who won the elections in 1990 with her National League for Democracy but who was never allowed to take power. Yes, he wrote a song about her once – Walk On – but other than that, in what way is his opinion worth anything?
'I'm very excited, very thrilled at the possibility that this might be the beginning of some sort of rational discussion,' Bono said, presumably while wearing sunglasses indoors. 'At the same time, it's sort of a cautious joy, because though she's out in the world, in a way we need her to be, she's perhaps more vulnerable, if they should want to take advantage of her being outside her own four walls.
'She is kind of the Mandela of our moment. She's a character of great grace. Her struggle has become a symbol of what's best about our humanity and worst.'

Pharrell recently appeared on the cover of GQ France. Along with teasing an upcoming project with storied fashion house Chanel, the modern day renaissance man also gave a first look at a collaboration with Human Made on a pair of his Adidas SOLARHU Glide ST model.
The design is fairly simplistic and features a white mesh upper, tonal overlays, and striped rope laces. The main feature is the red Human Made heart stitched on each toe, the signature symbol of Nigo's Japanese streetwear label. The brand was originally launched in 2010 by Skateboard P's close friend and business partner. Its logo replaces the "Hu" embroidery typically seen on the low-top running model.
There is currently no word on a future release for the pair, but take a glimpse at the clean collaboration on the feet of the man himself below.

You might be wondering when you would ever need the services of a New York malpractice attorney. Well, the truth is that unfortunately, medical malpractice can occur in many professions, particularly legal, medical, and architectural work. If you or someone you know has been injured due to the careless, inferior work of a professional, please read on to find out how you can benefit from hiring a malpractice attorney to handle your lawsuit.
There are many intricate details involved in a malpractice case. One of the most difficult parts of a malpractice case is acquiring enough evidence to prove the professional of malpractice. Many malpractice lawyers have been in the business for a while and will have developed many contacts and methods to help them acquire the medical records, surveillance tapes, testimonies, as well as other bits of evidence needed for your case. When meeting with a candidate for your case, you should ask plenty of questions about his/her background so that you can get a good idea as to the experience and abilities of your New York lawyer.
If your New York malpractice case is a bit personal, it's natural for you to feel a bit nervous sharing the details with a stranger. So, how do you find a lawyer you're comfortable with? Try asking friends, family members, and even co-workers or other acquaintances (whose opinion you trust) if they know of a lawyer they could recommend. You would be surprised how well this works!
Other resources for finding a lawyer include contacting the New York Bar Association. They offer a free referral service in which all of the lawyers they refer have been personally screened and recommended by peers and clients. You can also try looking online by doing a specific search on Google such as "New York medical malpractice lawyer." If you want a classic approach to research, try looking in the phone book or newspaper.
Once you have rounded up a few lawyers who specialize in the area of law your case falls under and are within decent traveling distance from your home, you can begin interviewing them until you are able to decide which is best for your case. Listen to your gut and go with the lawyer you feel most comfortable with.

Promotional gifts can cover a wide variety of products that range from small promotional items such as plastic pens or budget keyrings to expensive items like cameras or even TV sets. These items can be sent to both present and potential clients as well as to employees on special occasions like the company anniversary. The key to choosing a suitable promotional gift is to pick something that can be used on a daily basis because only so the clients will be aware of the fact that the company from which they received these gifts was thoughtful enough to send them. This article gives you three great ideas for items that cost less than one pound.
Promotional Pens there are literally thousands of variations regarding promotional pens that a company can choose to send to people they consider to be important. Many of these pens look great and feel comfortable. Most important, they cost very little considering that business owners buy in bulk quantities, making the price / item very low. A standard pen offers branding room meaning that there is a significant area in which the company logo or name can be printed, making it great for future reference. A basic pen can be a great way to advertise without investing thousands of pounds into billboards, TV commercials it is simple, yet efficient.
Promotional Bags many of them cost less than a pound and offer lots of space for advertising purposes. In most cases, a bag has a large printable panel on both sides and in the case of promotional sports bags on the ends also. These bags are used frequently, providing efficient exposure to the targeted audience. To give the promotion an extra benefit, these bags can be made of environmentally friendly materials as eco is a trend that grows in popularity every day and is considered to be appealing to large public.
Promotional Calculators despite the area of activity, everybody needs a calculator from time to time which is why ordering calculators that cost less than one pound can prove to be not only a token of appreciation to clients and employees but also a great way to get the edge in comparison to the business rivals by advertising the business with little financial investment. A calculator can come in different sizes and colours, offering a wide variety for business owners to pick from.
In todays world when the financial crisis is far from being over, not many companies can afford implementing expensive marketing techniques which is why many of them are considering using the services of online shops that can offer promotional items at very low prices as they can prove to be very efficient in such difficult times in which every single client is very important.

Description (last modified by juliandoucette)
We are recruiting heavily this year, and the eyeo jobs page is one of the first places potential job candidates visit. To attract the best talent we want to update the jobs page to showcase eyeo and inspire potential job candidates to want to join the company. The current text needs updating and does not mention the Berlin office.
What to change
We believe in doing things differently. We're looking for creative, independent thinkers to join our team. Work remotely or from our offices in Berlin, Cologne and Malmö.
<header> ## Join us in changing the Internet! **We're looking for passionate and creative people who want to make the world wide web a better place for everyone for years to come.** ### We're a tight-knit team We are 79 people from around the world creating software that millions of people use everyday to make their online experience more enjoyable. Our multi-cultural team consists of writers, artists, gamers, foodies, athletes – you name it. We all work together to create the best possible software for our users. ### We're serious about our products Our software, Adblock Plus, Adblock Browser and Flattr, help sustain and grow a fair, open web by giving users total control over their online browsing experience while, at the same time, providing user-friendly monetization for content creators and publishers. *Fun fact: Adblock Plus is used on over 100 million devices and is the most downloaded browser extension in the world!* ### We're all over the world eyeo is headquartered in Cologne, Germany, with satellite offices in Berlin, Germany and Malmö, Sweden. However, some of the team prefers to work remotely, wherever "home" may be.
Why work with us?
### All of our employees have an equal spot at the table New ideas and suggestions are encouraged, and roles evolve beyond restrictive, unimaginative "titles." We don't believe in micromanaging. The hierarchy is flat and the politics get left at door. eyeo is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. ### The Internet will be around for a long time to come We're working hard to create meaningful software that will help define the way the web works because we can't imagine a world without the wonderful thing we call the Internet.
Employee perks
### Grow eyeo encourages both personal and professional development, which is why we cover conference visits, contribute to your (relevant) education costs and let you decide on your own hardware / software. ### Work / life balance It's important to us that you're happy and energized, so we offer flexible working hours, 26 days of vacation and host regular events in our offices and virtually so everyone can connect. ### Family first We understand the importance of family. We contribute towards childcare costs and offer 4 months maternity leave. ### Travel We cover the cost of your transport if you live in Cologne or Berlin. If you're abroad, we will cover the costs for your trip to Cologne twice a year for our office parties!
Our offices
### Cologne (Köln) Our Cologne office is part of the Leitrad Lofts, a brand new building located in the trendy and alternative Cologne-Ehrenfeld, a multi-cultural district that is a major center for innovative and creative companies. Our laid-back space fosters creativity, encourages productivity and reflects who we are. When we're not working, we enjoy cooking in our state-of-the-art kitchen and enjoying good conversation (and maybe a drink or two) on our rooftop terrace. ### Berlin We are located in the heart of historic Berlin, one of Europe's most innovative startup hubs. Life in this vibrant city is never dull and there are a million things to do and explore outside of work. Join our fast growing team here to see what the fuss is all about! ### Malmö As the 4th most international city in the world with 177 nationalities (only beat by New York, London and Washington) and the 3rd largest city in Sweden, Malmö is an inviting place to live. It is a city with a vibrant startup community and the best climate (both weather and cultural) in Sweden. In Malmö we live a bit slower than the rest of Sweden; maybe it's because we are a short bike ride from one of many city beaches or a 30-minute train ride from laid-back Copenhagen. We're located in the [House of Ada](www.houseofada.se) in the center of Malmö.
Recruitment process
### 1. Submit your application Apply through our website, or directly to the recruiter. ### 2. Chat with us If you seem like a right fit, you'll be invited to a general chat with our recruiter. Not in Cologne? No problem. Skype or BlueJeans work, too! ### 3. Show us what you can do Depending on the position you're applying for, you may be asked to do a case study. This is your time to wow us and show us why you'll be a great fit at eyeo. ### 4. Technical chat Let's get in depth. The technical chat is your opportunity to showcase your qualifications to relevant colleagues. ### 5. Meet with us If you live close by, we want to meet with you in person! Don't live near Cologne? No worries! This meeting isn't mandatory. ### 6. Last step – almost there! You did it! Welcome to the team! You'll be flown to our headquarters in Cologne where you will sign your contract and go through your initial onboarding.

@juliandoucette are we able to bump this ticket in any way? So that the Malmo office is at least represented on the eyeo website, and also so that we sound like a more compelling company to work with for potential employees.

The Latest: Bangkok police say grenade unlinked to bombing
BANGKOK (AP) — The latest on the bombings in the Thai capital (all times local):
3 p.m.
Police say a construction worker found a grenade buried in land in a residential area far from the city center but they believe it is unrelated to last week's bombing that killed 20.
Lt. Sakon Rungkiatpaisarn of Pra Kanong Station said the grenade was found Monday morning buried in a plot on Sukhumvit 81 being prepared for construction. He said they don't know where it came from and authorities "do not think it has anything to do with (last Monday's) bombing" at a major intersection in the middle of Bangkok.
Sakon said a police explosives squad was sent to defuse the grenade.
2 p.m.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand has expressed dismay at the detention of a Hong Kong journalist for carrying body armor and a helmet.
Hok Chun Anthony Kwan, who was assigned by Initium Media Technology to cover the aftermath of last week's bombing in central Bangkok, was stopped at the Thai capital's international airport on Sunday when authorities found a flak jacket and helmet in his carry-on luggage before he boarded a flight to Hong Kong.
He is being charged with possessing an illegal weapon, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years.
"Body armor and helmets used by journalists are not offensive weapons and should not be treated as such," the FCCT said in a statement Monday. Bullet proof jackets are considered military equipment in Thailand, whose laws prohibit their possession without a license. However, the law is almost never enforced and journalists have openly worn body army during recent political turmoil in the country.
12:30 p.m.
Thailand's police chief says the investigation into last week's bomb blast has been hampered by broken security cameras in central Bangkok along the main suspect's getaway route.
National police chief Somyot Poompanmoung said Monday that police were trying to "put pieces of the puzzle together" but had to use their imagination to fill holes where street-side security cameras were broken and unable to record the suspect's movements.
Somyot said, "Sometimes there are 20 cameras on the street but only five work."
He added, "We have had to waste time to put the dots together."
Last Monday's bombing at the Erawan Shrine in central Bangkok left 20 people dead and more than 120 injured.
Police have released an artist's sketch of the prime suspect who is seen on security footage leaving a backpack at a bench inside the open-air shrine and walking away. The explosion takes place 15 minutes later.
On Sunday, Somyot said that police would "need some luck" to track down the suspect, while other police officials said they believed he had already left the country.

This section provides an overview of the three primary System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) server configurations. This section also describes scale considerations and provides an explanation of administrative control in multidomain environments.
Primary MDM Server Topologies
The following illustration shows an overview of the three primary server configurations:
The following describes the primary implementation options for the MDM system:
Integrated configuration: For the minimal MDM configuration,
install the components on two physical 64-bit servers: MDM Gateway
Server on a stand-alone or workgroup server in the perimeter
network and MDM Enrollment Server, MDM Device Management Server,
and Microsoft SQL Server® on a domain-joined server in the company
network. Although the integrated option provides a simple
implementation, it is not the most secure configuration and because
it is not scalable, can restrict an organization that has many
Windows Mobile devices to manage.
Distributed configuration: Deploy each MDM component: MDM
Gateway Server, MDM Device Management Server, MDM Enrollment
Server, and SQL Server, on separate, dedicated physical 64-bit
servers. This configuration provides better scalability than the
integrated configuration. However, this configuration offers no
redundancy nor can you easily add more servers to scale out when
the number of managed devices increases and you must add more
Scaled-out configuration (recommended): Configure MDM
Gateway Server and MDM Device Management Server in load-balanced
arrays. At first, an array might consist of only one server, but
when the initial installation is set up as a scaled-out
configuration, you can add more servers easily. We recommend that
you have a dedicated computer that is running SQL Server to make
software distribution on a larger scale easier. This is the
recommended configuration for a production enterprise environment.
The scaled-out configuration allows for the greatest scalability
and the highest levels of availability for managed mobile devices.
|To scale out the MDM Device Management Server or MDM Enrollment Server, you can deploy either hardware or software load balancers. Review the product technical documentation for features and limitations of load balancers. With either software or hardware balancers, affinity must be enabled in the load balancer configuration.
The distributed and scaled-out MDM configurations are described in more detail in MDM Distributed Configuration Topologyand MDM Scaled-Out Distributed Configuration Topology.
Capacity and Scale Considerations
As you consider your options to implement MDM, you should forecast your future requirements for managing Windows Mobile devices. For more information about Hardware Requirements for all MDM servers, see System Requirements for MDM Servers and Managed Devicesin this document. The following shows the capacities achieved in laboratory installations under the indicated test scenarios.
Basic Server Capacities
- An MDM Instance can support up to 30,000 devices.
- An MDM Device Management Server can support up to 10,000
- An MDM Gateway Server can support up to 5,000 devices.
- An MDM Enrollment Server can support up to 25 concurrent device
On an MDM Gateway Server That Has 5,000 Managed Devices
You can manage up to 5,000 devices per MDM Gateway Server:
- 100 percent of the managed devices can have an active virtual
private network (VPN) connection
- Up to 60 percent of the devices can have active network
sessions through VPN
- Each MDM Gateway Server can support traffic volumes up to 100
megabits per second (Mb/s)
- There may be up to 16 servers running MDM Gateway Server in an
MDM instance
On an MDM Device Management Server That Has 10,000 Managed Devices
You can manage up to 10,000 devices per MDM Device Management Server:
- Each managed device contacts MDM Device Management Server up to
one time every eight hours
- Policy updates are made daily on all devices
- There may be up to six computers that are running MDM Device
Management Server in an MDM instance
|The total number of managed devices should not exceed the total capacity for an MDM installation. Therefore, even with more than three computers running MDM Device Management Server, the total capacity for the MDM installation remains at 30,000 devices.
- Use a fast data network for best load reduction results
On a single MDM Enrollment Server
One MDM Enrollment Server may support an entire MDM Instance, because it actively supports devices only during the enrollment process.
- Up to 25 concurrent enrollments can be in progress
- You can have up to two computers that are running MDM
Enrollment Server in an MDM instance
Performance Variables
Server capacities will vary per installation and are highly dependent on the frequency of device monitoring sessions, software distribution, policy changes, and installed hardware. The following list provides a summary of the most common variables.
- Server Hardware: processor speed, number of processors, cache,
memory, disk I/O subsystem, or network
- SQL Server Hardware: Adherence to SQL Server scalability best
practices, particularly around the disk I/O and memory management.
- Frequency of configured device polling
- Frequency, scope, and types of policy changes
- Frequency of sending and detection rules for software
distribution packages
- Inventory items which are collected and the frequency of these
inventory jobs
- Number of managed device containers against which Group Policy
settings are managed. The most MDM resource-intensive model is one
in which all the devices are contained within a single root
container and all Group Policy settings are applied to this root
- Number of distinct software distribution groups and scheduling
of distribution to each of these groups. Multiple WSUS-targeted
groups on independent schedules create less load than if you
include all managed devices in a single targeted group.
- Device wireless network data speeds: faster network speeds
lessen the burden on the MDM system.
MDM Administrative Control in Multidomain Environments
The MDM system is to operate as a single instance within one Active Directory® forest. An MDM instance is a collection of MDM servers that connect to a single set of MDM databases. All MDM servers and related components must reside within a single Active Directory domain and site that you can access throughout the forest. When MDM manages devices from multiple domains, there must be at least one domain controller from every domain within MDM.
A single MDM instance enables you to centrally manage Windows Mobile devices throughout the forest. You can delegate Group Policy settings and administratively control them based on the default Active Directory container, also known as the organizational unit (OU). However, other MDM tasks, such as wiping devices, blocking devices, enrolling devices, server management, and server configuration, cannot be managed by using OUs.
For example, say you have the following domains: domain1.contoso.com and domain2.contoso.com. If you install MDM servers onto domain1.contoso.com and there are MDM users in domain1.contoso.com and domain2.contoso.com, MDM administrators will be able to issue wipe requests for managed devices for both domain1 and domain2. Additionally, server configuration resides centrally and administrators can set them globally. This affects managed devices in both domain1 and domain2.
By using MDM Administrator Tools, you can manage and administer the MDM system in the Active Directory forest. Grant permissions cautiously because a user assigned to the SCMDM2008DeviceAdministrators group and the SCMDM2008DeviceSupport group can wipe all devices in the forest that MDM manages.

Michael Mabbike, the DP bloc principal noted the 45% budget support to government from the donor countries must be tied to comprehensive political governance reforms in Uganda.
Democratic Party (DP) wants the donor funding to be channeled to political parties directly.
Most of the donor funding should be directed towards supporting democratic practices and electoral legal framework.
Michael Mabbike, the DP bloc principal noted the 45% budget support to government from the donor countries must be tied to comprehensive political governance reforms in Uganda.
"The donors should insist that the money they are paying is tied to political reforms," Mabbike said.
Speaking during the DP weekly press briefing at City House Kampala on Tuesday, Mabbike noted that donors should also facilitate the smooth process of transfer of power by President Museveni to the next leader.
Among others, Mabbike asked the international development partners to support political inclusion by introducing a system of proportional representation.
"We also appeal to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) small branches sitting in Kampala to advocate for the restoration of presidential term limits and demarcate all constituencies in accordance to a clear population quota," he appealed
He also revealed that the Democracy and Good Governance Facility (DGF) fund has not been useful in deepening and expanding democracy and good governance.
"The facility is not supporting political actors and political parties to expand freedom and democracy rather growing NGOs that are making little or no impact in real terms of governance," he noted.
He said that yielded to the NRM opposed to direct support to political actors thus the fund is meaningless advising that it should be restructured or scrapped off.
A tough spoken Mabbike also lashed out at foreign countries to stop lopsided dealings and financing of the current regime with loans and grants.
"International development partners have conspired to commit Ugandans to debt portfolio of $15bn without a reasonable repayment plan. It is irresponsible to keep lending a country which according to the IMF report, Uganda's debt ratio of 49% to GDP unsustainable," he explained.
The Opposition party also lobbied the international development partners to ensure among others, transparency in the country's management of oil and gas resources.
"Oil belongs to Uganda, companies that want oil business must support long term stability, electoral reforms and good governance in Uganda or risk instability," he noted.
Mabbike called for the annulment of unfair oil and gas agreement entered including the pipeline and drilling.
"It is unfair that the investor in the refinery will reap 80% of the profits and 20% for Ugandans. It is unfair that Uganda will in the short run only benefit through taxing oil business and related economic activities," he said.
Mabbike revealed that in contrast, Kenya retains 100% ownership and control of its oil resource. "The US, UK and China must tie the final investment decision to comprehensive political and electoral reforms," he said.
Samuel Lubega Mukaku a DP bloc Principal urged the international development partners to stop support to Uganda's open-ended/ blanket refugee policy.
"There is need for border control. Support the enactment of a refugee policy rather than praise regime for its open-ended policy and magnanimity," he said.
Lubega also called for the sanction of both regime leadership and operatives for the gross abuses of rights and freedoms.
"The leaders who issued orders and operatives who carry out such orders must be sanctioned," he said.
DP also called upon the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) to take trough actions on Uganda over gross abuse of human rights, murder and corruption.
"Zimbabwe was suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations after the country's 2001 elections were found to be flawed by electoral observers. This should apply to Uganda also," Lubega said.
He explained that in Uganda the elections were marred by politically motivated violence, transgression of freedoms, army attacking the parliament and judiciary being overtaken.
"Uganda should be suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations' club and it was unlawful to allow Uganda host the parliament," he said.
Four countries have been suspended from the Commonwealth since the inception of the device in 1995: Fiji, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe. Fiji and Pakistan have each been suspended twice, and Zimbabwe has withdrawn permanently from the Commonwealth, whilst Nigeria has rehabilitated entirely.

I rated this experience as excellent because with a tight deadline Guillaume very quickly responded to me and understood exactly what I wanted. He came out to our house two days before to check out the dining and kitchen areas. My wife's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year so we celebrated it on the next day. I surprised her with a limo through the Napa Valley wine country for four hours with 6 of our close friends and family. When we returned Guillaume had decorated the table and brought balloons in her favorite color. The decorations and food was more that I could have expected. I plan to use him again and again. Thank you, Guillaume.Dec 3, 2016Verified

- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?Not exactly. For plates to store (weekly plates), it's around 10-$15 by plate by people (+grocery shopping). For other service (birthday), it's on demand
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?They should send me the context for my service (birthday, regular plates, etc...) and the number of people, so in that case i will send you a possible menu and price
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?Nothing! I learnt by myself, with my mum and grandma. I did all safety certification mandatory in US to work in the food industry or/and in professional kitchen

Richard Hilms' setup for Cinderella.
"Getting to use my old Deagan 1" chime tubes, just buffed and tuned. I also have a Leedy pit xylophone, making for a tight setup. A remote hi hat over by the timpani. A strap of sleigh bells below the hi hat. Three Miller Machines (2 for triangle and 1 for a finger cymbal). Mounted ratchet on the bass drum and a Grover tambourine mounted off the ride cymbal stand. The best thing is the Toca Tambourine mounted by the snare drum and ride tom. It is compact with a cushioned rim and sounds GREAT! Fun Fun Fun!"

If you've been eagerly waiting for Code Vein to run the gauntlet and make it onto store shelves, then you might need to pocket those credit cards for a little longer. In an update to eager adventurers, Bandai Namco announced that it is delaying the release of Code Vein until 2019.
Mixing gorgeous bright anime aesthetics with a dark tale of loss and desperation, Bandai Namco's post-apocalyptic adventure has been eagerly anticipated since its initial announcement in DATE. The tale of this dystopian adventure follows the fate of a Revenant during the Great Collapse time and challenges players to explore the world of Vein in order to recover pieces of their lost memory. After a huge amount of feedback from players over the last nine months, a decision was taken to push back the release date in order to improve the end result.
Hervé Hoerdt, Vice President of Marketing and Digital at Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe released the following snippet
"Armed with knowledge of how well the game has already been received, we made the decision to postpone the release of CODE VEIN to further refine its gameplay in an effort to exceed the expectations fans already have of the title. It was a difficult decision to make, but we feel it is the correct one."
While this means that fans will not get a preview of Code Vein at Gamescom 2018, it will hopefully mean that launch day will bring a much better product. I, for one, would rather get Code Vein when it is ready. Code Vein is coming to Xbox, PlayStation 4, and PC when it arrives in player hands.

Maisie Williams has revealed plans to make independent films once she is "free" from working on Game of Thrones.
Williams, who plays Arya Stark on the show, is part of the cast who have just begun filming the final season of Game of Thrones, which will conclude with a six-episode eighth season. An air date has yet to be confirmed.
The star is already looking beyond the conclusion of Thrones, however, with Williams disclosing that she wants to get into independent cinema once the show wraps up for good.
"I've just started a production company, so I'm now realising how hard the industry can be," she told BBC Newsbeat about her future plans. "Coming back [home] and listening to all the films nominated and getting back into watching independent films just makes me realise how much I miss it.
"It's the only place I've ever really wanted to be to be honest."
"I'm really excited for Game of Thrones to finish and there's going to be time for me to do whatever I want," she continued. "That's just incredibly exciting and it will be nice to pick roles that I want to do. I can show the world what sort of actress I want to be and shape my career a little bit."
Asked about how she'll contend with the prospect of Thrones finishing, Williams opined: "On one hand it's really nerve-wracking to know that I won't have that support blanket and safety net – but on the other hand, I'm free [from Game of Thrones].
"I'd love to do a British independent film, I'd love to make it and I'd love to be in it. There are a couple of directors that I'd love to work with – Dexter Fletcher being one. I'd like to just do some work here, for Britain."
Last month, Williams' Thrones co-star Kit Harington explained why he believed that the show should end after its next season.

In the Beginning was Information: A Scientist Explains the Incredible Design in Nature
New Leaf Publishing Group, 2006 - 264 Seiten
Powerful evidence for the existence of a personal God! Information is the cornerstone of life, yet it is something people don't often think about. In his fascinating new book, In the Beginning Was Information, Dr. Werner Gitt helps the reader see how the very presence of information reveals a Designer: ˘˘Do we take for granted the presence of information that organizes every part of the human body, from hair color to the way internal organs work? ˘˘What is the origin of all our complicated data? ˘˘How is it that information in our ordered universe is organized and processed? Gitt explains the necessity of information - and more importantly, the need for an Organizer and Originator of that information. The huge amount of information present in just a small amount of DNA alone refutes the possibility of a non-intelligent beginning for life. It all points to a Being who not only organizes biological data, but also cares for the creation.

Gitt tries arguing for the existence of God from information theory. Some of the book is really interesting, but some of the material presented schmecks of arbitrary pseudoscience. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Ferley out for season, Incentive fund ends, Black Hills Horse Expo deadline, ranch horse competition
The cooler weather sure has been a blessing. The rain that fell on the area was enough to get the grass to try to grow with the nicer temps. That grass is desperately needed, and it sure put a bloom on the calves. I hope it doesn't get miserably hot again and stop the growth.
One of South Dakota's favorite bronc riders is Chad Ferley. He was on quite a roll with an 85 point ride Aug. 8 at Ashley, N.D. He traveled down to Faith, S.D. after that to put on an 84 point ride in the long go at the bronc match. He drew the phenomenal Burch horse Iron Maiden for the short go and was fitting a fantastic ride on her when at about the 7.5 second mark, things went south. Chad broke his femur clean through and had to have surgery to install a rod in it. He's now home recuperating, but obviously, is out for the remainder of the season. He's truly one of the nice guys in rodeo and prayers would be appreciated for a complete, swift recovery.
The Winner (S.D.) Junior Rodeo that was canceled due to a monsoonal rain, has been rescheduled for August 26. I'm sure they all appreciated the rain though!
The AQHA has decided to discontinue the Incentive Fund. They will no longer accept foal nominations past two years and no more stallion nominations immediately. The fund has paid out over $80 million in its lifetime. It will likely continue payouts through 2020 if the funds allow. Questions about refunds and details can be directed to Brianna Charles at 806-378-4535.
The Black Hills Horse Expo will be held Oct. 20-22 at the Event Center in Rapid City, S.D. There will be a spectacular stallion showcase with breeds of horses typically not seen in this region. There will also be a horse avenue of interesting breeds of horses. There's still room in the stallion showcase for your horse, but the deadline to get him in there is Sept. 1. Check out the Black Hills Horse Expo on Facebook for more information.
Sept. 8 is the date for the 2nd Annual Fallon County Ranch Rodeo at Baker, Mont. Entries are open now and will close Sept. 1, so call now as they're only taking 12 teams. The number is 406-778-2451.
The Coy Price Memorial Team Roping will be Sunday, Sept. 3 at Newell, S.D. Enter at 9. At 10 a.m. There will be open breakaway, $50/progressive after one. At 11 will be the high school team roping, $40/enter twice, progressive after one. Open team roping after that, $120, draw four/progressive after one. Payout is 50 percent. Call J.D. Mutchler for more info at 605-490-0343.
There will be a ranch horse competition at the Sage Riders Arena, Miles City, Mont., on Sept. 9, 8 a.m. There are a wide variety of classes plus a no cattle class for green horses. There's also a "rancher" class and a yearling (at halter) class. Call Alane Stabler at 406-853-1024 for details.
Hall Peformance Horses, Edgemont, S.D. will be hosting the fall cow horse clinic Sept. 8-10 at the Hall Ranch. Cost is $450 with limited openings. Call Kirk Hall at 605-431-3607.
The 6th Annual Dakota Western Heritage Festival will be Sept. 15-17 at Ft. Pierre, S.D. On Sept. 15 there will be a wagon train/trail ride at the Expo center, and a parade. On the 16th, there will be cowboy music and poetry, western artists, and a Suzy Bogguss concert. Sept. 17 there will be cowboy church and more cowboy poetry and music.

WASHINGTON—In response to the introduction today of the Facial Recognition Technology Warrant Act by U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), the world's leading think tank for science and technology policy, released the following statement from ITIF Vice President Daniel Castro:
The Facial Recognition Technology Warrant Act is a welcome addition to the debate about how to properly balance public safety and privacy for Americans. This legislation would establish appropriate safeguards for facial recognition by establishing a warrant requirement for law enforcement to track the movement of individuals. It would also expand and improve federal testing of facial recognition systems to ensure they are accurate and reflect real-world conditions. These types of policies are necessary and appropriate to address reasonable concerns by the public about how law enforcement might use facial recognition technology in the future and ensure the government uses it appropriately. At the same time, this legislation correctly recognizes that facial recognition is a valuable investigatory tool by law enforcement and provides a welcome alternative to bans and moratoriums on this technology. We look forward to working with Congress as it moves forward with this legislation.
For additional background, see ITIF's recent Statement to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Regarding Facial Recognition and Civil Liberties.

There has been a resurgence of interest in the concept of multi-touch devices since the demonstration by Jeff Han of his conceptual multi-touch interface in 2006 and more recently the successful launch of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch and the most recent and highly publicised Windows 7 launch, all with multi-touch capabilities.
Multi touch devices have been around for a long time and an overview of legacy system and the background of multi touch development by Bill Buxton is available at http://www.billbuxton.com/multitouchOverview.html. Wikipedia's entry is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch.
As of version 4.1.4 our UPDD has support for multi touch enabled devices and supports up to 16 styli and this documentation covers in detail UPDD multi-touch implementation.
For those customers contacting us for our advice on implementing multi-touch devices or applications this document also addresses general multi-touch considerations and therefore it is hoped will also answer general multi-touch queries.
Multi-touch utilisation needs to consider four main components, the touch hardware, driver, operating system driver interface and applications:
Hardware considerations
Until recently, touch devices only processed one touch point (co-ordinate data) at a time due to limitations of the input technology. However, some technologies allow for multi-touch sensing and increasingly touch hardware is now available that is able to detect multiple touches and report a separate data streams per stylus.
Before multi-touch can be utilised it is imperative that the touch hardware is delivering touch data streams for each stylus in use and in a manner that is recognised by the driver, such as UPDD or HID. Multi-touch cannot be achieved with software only solutions and therefore cannot be achieved with tradition touch hardware generating a single stylus data stream. With traditional touch hardware, if you place two or more stylus on the touch screen the device will only output a single data stream representing the mean average position of all touch points.
Data packet considerations
One of the most important features of a multi-touch device is the unique identification of individual stylus. The device must uniquely identify each packet of data sent to the host with a stylus number representing the input stream. The means of identification is a matter for the hardware manufacture, but consideration must be given to the end application. For example an application that is looking at relative positioning of styli, perhaps to look at gestures such as "squeezing" need only identify a number of stylus inputs, the correspondence of a stylus to a particular physical input is perhaps unimportant. Another example is an application that takes different actions depending on the stylus, such as a whiteboard program that has several pens to represent different colours or users will also need to be able to associate a particular stylus with a stylus number in the data packet. The input technology in use will influence the means by which styli are reported to the host. Not all input technologies will be able to uniquely identify individual styli.
In line with our standard recommendations for touch packets we suggest stylus identification be by means of a positive real binary encoded number in each packet. i.e. if 2 bits are used for stylus information then 00 = S1, 01=2, 10=3 and 11=4
UPDD implements a flexible packet parser so can recognise a number of different formats. The driver can also pre-process received multi touch data packets so if systems are sending data in a manner not immediately catered for by the UPDD data packet parser the received data can be reformatted into a structure more readily handled by the parser.
For operating systems that implement an HID (Human Interface Device) driver with multi touch extensions, such as Windows 7, then any HID MT compatible device can take full advantage of the MT functions available via the HID interface.
Touch gestures
Whilst it is possible for a controller to calculate and report only gestures this is not a recommended approach as this limits the flexibility available to drivers or application software to extend and improve the gesture capabilities of the device. In most cases it is better to deliver the stylus co-ordinate information and let the driver interface determine the gesture which is fed to the OS and applications as appropriate.
Driver operation
A driver receives the touch data stream from the hardware interface (USB, Serial etc) and makes that data available for use by the operating system mouse port (pointer) interface or application programs.
In the case of most touch drivers that work in standard desktop environments, the incoming co-ordinate data stream is processed to extract the co-ordinate data which is then scaled (based on calibration data) and passed to the mouse port interface of the operating system so that the system cursor is positioned under the point of touch. In addition to the cursor movement mouse clicks are emulated, either at the point of touch or lift-off, thus the touch screen functions as a pointer device by effectively emulating a mouse device. Although this usage reduces the touch screen function to that of a mouse it has the benefit of interacting with both the desktop manager and the system applications that have been developed to be controlled via a point and click device (normally a mouse or touch pad on a notebook) and therefore they also function with the touch device.
Our driver also makes touch data information available to system applications via the driver's Application Programming Interface (API). An application can register to receive data when certain events occur on the pointer device. One such event is the processing of a touch co-ordinate and the application code can receive the data directly and handle the data independent from the 'mouse emulation' interface. A UPDD API call also exists to enable / disable the system mouse port interface as required.
In a multi-touch environment the driver makes available the multi-touch stylus information to calling applications. In future versions of UPDD the driver could also derive gesture information and pass this to calling applications and optionally feed the gesture information to any future operating systems, or OS extensions, which can process multi-touch gestures.
Operating system mouse pointer interface
Touch co-ordinate data received by the driver is either delivered to the operating system to be processed by the underlying system pointer interface or passed directly to applications that have registered to receive co-ordinate data.
In operating systems designed for only 1 touch interface, such as XP, Vista, early Mac OS X etc the driver will only deliver the co-ordinate data from one stylus to the pointer interface. Where an OS can receive more than co-ordinate stream, such as Windows 7, them multiple data streams are passed to the OS. In the case of Windows 7 this is passed via the HID class interface.
In the case of Vista (single pointer) and Windows 7 (single and multi-touch) if the device is seen (real or virtual) as a compatible HID digitizer type device then extended touch functions are enabled within the OS and appropriate applications.
When processing multi-touch input UPDD considers stylus zero to be the primary stylus and associates this to the pointer interface in single touch environments.
Delivery of touch co-ordinate data to the OS can be disabled as required via a UPDD API function call.
Ultimately it is the individual applications that will utilise multi-touch input and as such will need an interface with the touch hardware. In multi-touch aware operating systems, such as Windows 7, applications can be written to receive both touch and gesture information via the appropriate interface and act accordingly. Where there is not a OS MT interface or where an application does not want to be restricted to one specific OS then direct access to the multi-touch data, such as via the touch driver's API or other interface method, is desirable. Once the touch data is received it is used to perform the multi-touch gesture as required, such as shrink or enlarge a photo or resize a browser etc.
To this end it is important that applications can interface with the driver to receive the touch data and it is also important that the application can identify individual stylus, either by individual stylus identification or code to identify the stylus based on received data.
With UPDD, input from all styli are processed and made available to client programs via the API callback mechanism. This extensible mechanism allows the device to be used for any purpose, such as concurrent drawing, touch typing, or gesture recognition.
We will add support for specific multi-touch hardware as it is made available.
Stylus recognition
Identification of a stylus is a function of the hardware; some input technologies, e.g. magnetic or infra-red pen devices might be able to associate a given physical stylus with a stylus number. Others might recognise the first touch as stylus 0, second as stylus 1, etc. Applications utilising the multi-touch features of UPDD should consider the details of the stylus recognition implementation of the hardware when choosing a suitable multi-touch input device.
API example
This simple example illustrates the use of a UPDD callback function to print co-ordinate and stylus information. The XY coordinates and touch events (touch / release) reported via the UPDD callback interface are identified as being for a given stylus with the new hStylus member.
HTBDEVICE hd = TBApiGetRelativeDevice(0);
void TBAPI CBFunc(unsigned long context, _PointerData* data)
printf("device %d generated x=%d y=%d for stylus: %d\n",(int)data->pd.device,(int)data->pd.xy->rawx,(int)data->pd.xy->rawy, (int)data->pd.hStylus);
Some applications might require that the default UPDD mouse processing be disabled. UPDD API function call TBApiMousePortInterfaceEnable() can be used for this purpose.
Development tools
There are a number of good multi-touch development tools on the market some of which are highlighted here:
UPDD test program with multi-touch
The driver's test program has been updated to handle multi-touch input.
Over time we will write example applications to receive multi-touch data and act accordingly and make the source code available for general reference.
UPDD supported or under development multi-touch hardware
This section will be updated as we add support for additional multi-touch devices:

No more babies: Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre to end obstetrical services
Expecting mothers will now have to travel to Red Deer or Ponoka as there will be no more babies delivered at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre.
On Wednesday, Alberta Health Services (AHS) announced they are ending obstetrical services at the hospital effective Friday, Dec. 20, as a result of declining delivery rates.
"The decision comes after lots of consultation and review of our obstetrical services and the birth rates at the facility have dropped quite significantly over the last couple years," said AHS Area Manager for Lacombe and Bentley Kimberley Sommerville. "In 2017, we had 91 births. Last year ,we had 81 at this time, and this year we only have 31 babies to date, and so because obstetrics is a high-risk practise that requires a team of experts with specialized skills, you need to be able to deliver babies regularly to keep those skills up. Completely for patients' safety and experience, we have chosen not to proceed with obstetrics or deliveries at this facility."
The practice at the Lacombe hospital already was to refer out higher-risk births, but now the low-risk births will follow suit. Only imminent, emergency-situation births will be performed or assisted, and patients will then be moved to another hospital for post-natal care.
Local physicians are reaching out to their expecting patients to work out or revise plans for their births, and those who will deliver in months to come will then be transitioned from a local physician to a doctor for delivery in either Red Deer or Ponoka at around the 30-week mark.
While it's last-minute notice right before the holidays, Sommerville says with such a steep decline in birth rates, AHS felt they could not hold off on discontinuing obstetrical services.
She says it is no way a financial decision, and no jobs will be lost as a result.
Overall, the decline in birth rates at the hospital is a result of expecting mothers already choosing to go to other locations rather than stay in Lacombe.
"We're seeing this decrease, I think, because a lot of patients are choosing to deliver at a site where there's surgical backup or epidural choice or that sort of thing and we can't offer that in Lacombe," she said. "It's truly related to patient safety and the patient experience of delivering babies on site."
The hospital currently has two dedicated labour rooms. The decision on how to repurpose those rooms will come in 2020.
