EU wants probe into Maduro's assassination attemptEuropost , Brussels
The EU on Thursday has called for a "comprehensive and transparent investigation" into a drone "assassination" attemyp on Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro. A spokesperson for the EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini stressed in a statement the bloc reject "any form of violence" and expects that a probe of drone attack is conducted to establish the facts.
"In this regard, the EU expects the recognition of the National Assembly's constitutional powers, including the full respect of its prerogatives concerning the parliamentary immunity of its members, in line with established constitutional rights, legislation and procedures," Mogherini added.
"The EU reiterates its support for a negotiated, democratic and peaceful solution for the multiple crises affecting the country as the only way forward," the EU statement added. "This needs to encompass a return to constitutional normality restoring democratic process and the rule of law, respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, release of all political prisoners, and addressing the pressing humanitarian needs of the population."
The thwarted attack took place as Maduro was speaking at a commemoration of the 81st anniversary of the Venezuelan national guard that featured a military parade. According to the government assailants flew intentionally two DJI M600 drones each packed with 1kg of C-4 plastic explosive toward him Seven members of the national guard were hurt.
Maduro has used the so-called attack against him to tighten even more his grip on Venezuela and accused the opposition and Colombia numerous times of being behind the crime. A super-legislative body loyal to President Nicolas Maduro even revoked the immunity of two Venezuelan opposition lawmakers Wednesday, in order to put them on trial for allegedly masterminding the drone assassination attempt. Furthermore, Maduro has singled out two lawmakers: Julio Borges, former speaker of the opposition-dominated legislature who now lives in exile; and Juan Requesens.

Chicago Drum is a company built on the traditions of the old Slingerland® drum designs tempered with new technology and innovation. Attention to detail and a spirit of true percussion leads the way to the best drums that money can buy. Check them out today.
Founder Jim Moritz explains the beginnings of Chicago Drum:
"I have a rich family history with Slingerland drums. My great uncle, Oswald Kern, (photo below), worked for Slingerland and helped my father, Jack, get a job at Slingerland when he emigrated from Germany to the United States.
Dad was with Slingerland for over 30 years. He was head of the woodshop there and he was with them up to the very end when they moved from the Niles, IL, plant to the Algonquin, IL, plant. Dad had European craftsmanship roots and taught me well.
During Slingerland's heyday in the mid-1970s, I worked summers at the Niles plant while in high school and after school on the night shift. Talk about a sweet job for a high school kid who was a drummer!
I attended a local high school where I was taught drums and participated in a percussion ensemble led by Slingerland endorser/clinician, Jake Jerger. You could say the love of drums was always there and the family history with Slingerland made it all that much better.
With woodworking, cabinet making/finishing and machining backgrounds it was only natural to take the next step to form Chicago Drum. The company is made up of people like Garry Hane and Jack Moritz who have the knowledge, craftsmanship skills and the attention to detail that you won't easily find elsewhere.
Chicago Drum is not a huge company in size but is quite large in detail, like our Slingerland badge grommets which we manufactured because no other supplier carries a correct style grommet. These grommets truly are "dead on" reproductions of the old Slingerland parts and that's the kind of extra attention you'll get from us!
Jim has the skills and foresight to create a company that not only upholds the traditions of the old Slingerland drum line, but also leads the way with innovative percussion products of impeccable design.

Jennifer Miller - October 2015
A study conducted by Penn State University, published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology by the American Psychological Association, focused on retail employers and compared two groups of job applicants, those who were ostensibly not cancer survivors, and those who indicated on their resumes that they were cancer survivors.
Applicants disclosing cancer received fewer callbacks from managers than the applicants who did not disclose a history of cancer. Researchers concluded that although diversity efforts have generally increased over the last decade, health characteristics have the tendency to be excluded in diversity programs.
Additional findings indicated that workers with a history of cancer were rated higher in "warmth" than in competency. Lead researcher and assistant professor of hospitality management at Penn State, Larry Martinez, states "managers and employees should be mindful of the fact that although societal attitudes toward cancer survivors are generally quite positive, with people often viewing them as champions...we nonetheless might perceive them as being less desirable employees simply because of their history with cancer."

Frequently asked questions
What is a red team security review?
A red team security review is an all-encompassing review of an organisation's cyber security, taking into account the physical and technological defences, as well as their susceptibility to social engineering. It will involve a team of security professionals attempting to gain access to data either physically or remotely (via a penetration test).
How does a red team security review help my business?
A well scoped red team security review will provide numerous benefits to a business. Not only will it highlight weaknesses in their technology and network configurations, but it will also inform businesses of flaws in their management processes or physical security. On top of this, red teaming can provide an awareness as to just how susceptible a business is to social engineering, letting them know if further training is required. A red team project provides an over all review on every aspect of a company's cyber security.
How much does a red team review cost?
The cost of a red team review will vary considerably depending on the agreed scope and the size of the business. As there is no 'one size fits all' approach, there is no standard price.
What is social engineering?
Social engineering is a large part of a red team security review. It is the leveraging of the human aspect of a business in order to gain access to a network and subsequently data. Phishing campaigns are an example of social engineering, involving the sending of an email in the hope of convincing user's to unwittingly give away credentials or install malware.
This is often the most important thing to test as, no matter how good your security is, it can easily be undone by a member of staff.

Message brokers are specialised pieces of enterprise middleware designed to support integrating applications in a decoupled (in both time and location) manner, using messaging channels, implemented as either queues (for single consumer) or topics (for multiple consumers). Whilst deploying and operating a broker has an additional, ongoing cost for a business, if the scale of integration in your system and the non-functional requirements warrant it, they can can provide a flexible, better performing and more scalable solution than the alternative of implementing message queues in your database, especially, as is often the case, the latter is already overloaded.There are a considerable number of proven message brokers available today from a variety of vendors. Before committing to building your integrations on a particular broker, you should give careful consideration to how well it satisfies your requirements. I recently went through such an evaluation exercise, and ended-up choosing Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS). While we haven't regretted this decision, I did learn a few things along the way. In this post I'll share a list of the functional and non-functional (technical) requirements that you should consider as part of evaluating a message broker, and also my opinion on how SQS measures up to other brokers in each case, and the trade-offs.
Message Broker or Bus – what's the difference?
In the process of evaluating and trialling the introduction of messaging to integrate distributed back-end services, and other apps, in our system, the question of whether we were aiming to design a Message Broker or a Message Bus arose. This led to me doing some research to verify and improve my understanding of the difference. This post is a summary of my findings.
Improving Log Aggregation & Search for Application Services
When my team and I first took on responsibility for modernising our business' backend application services, we found it was hard to obtain a full picture of the events that were being logged by services, in a timely manner. Logging of events are an essential source of data for monitoring how a service is operating, and also to support troubleshooting of problems e.g. the no. and rate of failed API requests, and supporting failure diagnostics. Therefore, one of the first tasks we prioritised as a (devops) team was to improve this situation by provisioning a modern log aggregation and search solution. This post outlines the problems we addressed, the architectural pattern we used as the basis of the solution, the tools we used to implement the pattern, and the resulting benefits.
Designing message consumer error handler for Amazon SQS
When building a message consumer you need to handle the various errors that will inevitably occur during message processing. If you're using Amazon SQS as your message broker it provides some built-in support for error handling that you can utilise. But, if you want to handle all types of errors efficiently you should also add your own custom error handler. This post explains how you can do both these things, including how to classify message processing errors.
JSON Schema Part 2 – Automating JSON validation tests
In my first post on the topic of JSON Schema I outlined the limitations of specifying data-formats by example, described how schema languages help address this, and provided an introduction to the not so well known schema language for JSON – JSON Schema.
In that first article I stated my intention to document non-trivial JSON data-format I specified in the future using JSON Schema in addition to using specification-by-example, whether it be for an API resource or a message payload. When you adhere to this you quickly realise that while producing a JSON Schema is valuable, to increase the value you'll additionally want to extend the tests for your JSON producing components to automate the following:
- Test the schema remains valid – i.e. it's well-formed and conforms to the JSON Schema spec.- in order to avoid publishing a broken or invalid schema.
- Test your app produces JSON that conforms to the published schema. This goes beyond just asserting that the component produces an expected lump of JSON, to additionally check that the generated JSON conforms to any validation constraints in the schema.
This follow-up, second post on JSON Schema, provides example code for implementing the above such tests using Java, JUnit and an open-source library for JSON Schema Validation.
Managing the Rate of Message Consumption
This is a short post on a couple of approaches to managing the rate of message consumption, their differences and how to choose between them.
Introducing JSON Schema
XML has a supporting schema-language in the form of the XML Schema. What you may be unaware of is that JSON has one too.
Read-on to find out more and why you might want to use it if you're not already.

JUANA: Thursday was a good day. We were still training Zoe and she's learning very quickly. This is Zoe and Maci working in Rafael and Qwen's kennel. Maci was showing Zoe how we build up and throw the dirt.
BILL: That is very similar to the picture that is on the front of the current newsletter, except that picture cut off the bottom of his legs. We should probably replace this picture in the file, for the future. Yes, why don't we do that?

No matter what industry you're in, you have to deal with complexity on a daily basis. From the complexity of computer systems you use to get work done, to the complexity of the projects you're managing – it seems a byproduct of the information age is complexity.
The Cost of Complexity
Complexity weighs on us. Organisations can suffer from too much complexity, which leads to a decrease in profits, reduced organisational flexibility and dissipating energy. Product complexity often has a negative effect on company processes and cost structures. The complexity of technology systems increases the cost of maintaining them over time and also leads to higher costs associated with user adoption, training and support.
What Is Complexity?
According to the Cambridge dictionary, complexity is the state of something having many parts and being difficult to understand. So how then do these organisations, projects and systems get complex? Is it just something inevitable that happens over time?
The issue of runaway complexity has plagued software engineers for decades. In 1992 Ward Cunningham coined the term 'technical debt' considering complexity as a form of debt that needed to be repaid:
"Shipping first-time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite… The danger occurs when the debt is not repaid. Every minute spent on not-quite-right code counts as interest on that debt. Entire engineering organisations can be brought to a stand-still under the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation."
– Ward Cunningham, 1992
How to Think About Complexity
Considering debt as a metaphor for complexity is very useful. The rules of debt seem to transcribe nicely to complexity, however, Cunningham's metaphor seems to be lacking in one key area: the point at which debt is first accrued. Why is "Shipping first-time code" like going into debt? What is it about the process of developing code that has this effect? Is the same true of organisations and projects? Does it just 'happen'? I would argue it doesn't.
Software, projects, and organisations all share a common feature: they are a product of many small decisions. Complexity is insidious. More often than not, each small decision has complexity implications that are either not recognised or not acknowledged for their impact until much later.
So what differentiates the lower-complexity software, projects and organisations? How do they think about complexity to recognise it and control its impact?
Killing Complexity
There are two aspects to controlling complexity; controlling its impact and controlling its introduction.
Cunningham's debt metaphor was focused squarely on controlling the impact of complexity once it had been introduced, recognising the compounding effect of adding complexity on top of existing complexity. Cunningham's way to repay the debt was to reflect on the state of the environment and then seek to simplify. This implies projects and organisations that seek to control complexity need to explicitly spend time and energy reflecting on it and addressing it. The expediency of ignoring complexity in technology, systems and processes must be deliberately balanced with the long-term cost of reflection and remediation.
The more difficult aspect of complexity is controlling its introduction in the first place. There are many ways of controlling the introduction of complexity, however, one would have to argue that controlling complexity is cultural; a set of principles about how people should deal with the millions of small choices that compose every technology, every project and every organisation.
Here are three strategies you can use to start thinking differently about complexity:
1. Apply Occam's Razor:
William of Ockham, a Franciscan friar who studied logic in the 14th century, devised a principle known as Occam's Razor. In Latin, it is sometimes called lex parsimoniae, or "the law of briefness" which translates roughly as "More things should not be used than are necessary." – Occam's Razor can be applied to manage incoming complexity by framing new ideas, features, or changes in the context of the underlying mission: what is really necessary?
2. Invest in Clarity:
The ambiguity introduced by a lack of clarity is a sure way to introduce complexity. Just as accrued complexity can be seen as debt, taking the time to obtain clarity first could be considered an investment. Just as debts accrue interest, investments provide dividends over time. Defining and communicating a clear vision up front helps to anchor every decision made over time to a collectively understood end-state. Indeed, a stitch in time does save nine.
3. Be Great at Filtering the Signal from the Noise:
The Signal-to-noise ratio is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of the desired signal to the level of background noise – like measuring the amount of static in a television broadcast. Thinking about all information as having a signal-to-noise ratio is a powerful strategy because it keeps you and your team listening for what is important to determine the signal (important information) from the noise (irrelevant information).
This concept is also useful when considering who you put on your teams. A person with a low signal-to-noise ratio most likely means complexity will creep into designs, projects plans and other output of their activities. Furthermore, don't think that just because someone is an expert in an area that they have a low signal-to-noise ratio. Experts can embed spectacular levels of complexity into their solutions, and often those less technically astute feel as though they are not qualified to call it out.
Taking on these strategies as habits to control the introduction of complexity, and taking the time to reflect on, and remediate existing complexity will help you deliver effective projects and drive effective organisations that fulfil their purpose.

LOCAL women can rejoice with the return of the Gorman sale and shop guilt-free in the knowledge it's all for a good cause.
Former Warrnambool fashion designer Lisa Gorman will once again bring her signature style of bright colours and patterns to Liebig Street.
Ms Gorman said shoppers could expect a bargain with a collection of ex-summer stock and some samples on offer.
"There'll be a lot of prints and lots of colour," she said.
"It's classic Gorman."
She said in the past people in Warrnambool had been very supportive of the sale and her brand.
"Of course I have a passion for my home town," she said.
"I'm very fond of my Warrnambool. A lot of people in Warrnambool keep an eye on the label. Prior to online shopping it was a way for people to get their hands on the products without travelling too far."
Ms Gorman said it was about the 10th year the sale had been brought to her home town and the fourth year she had raised funds.
This year $20,000 of proceeds will be distributed between Peter's Project, the Leukaemia Foundation and the Peter Mac Cancer Centre.
Ms Gorman said she had known many people who had travelled for treatment from Warrnambool and Peter's Project was an excellent initiative by the community.
"The last thing you really want to do is get in a car or on a train and travel when you're sick," she said.
The sale will run from this Friday to Monday, March 10 at 125 Liebig Street.

Ada Ríos grew up in Cateura, a small town in Paraguay built on a landfill. She dreamed of playing the violin, but with little money for anything but the bare essentials, it was never an option...until a music teacher named Favio Chávez arrived. He wanted to give the children of Cateura something special, so he made them instruments out of materials found in the trash. It was a crazy idea, but one that would leave Ada --- and her town --- forever changed. Now, the Recycled Orchestra plays venues around the world, spreading their message of hope and innovation.
Growing up as the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., Angela Farris Watkins witnessed firsthand the principles and values that "Uncle M.L." practiced and lived by throughout his fight for equality. Drawing from experiences and episodes both personal and well-known, Dr. Watkins artfully details the guiding beliefs of one of the greatest men in history.

Canvas reference: The globalCompositeOperation property
Summary: The globalCompositeOperation property determines how drawings are added to the canvas. It has a variety of modes - one of which can be used to achieve foreground/background layers (see below).
globalCompositeOperation property determines how shapes and images are
drawn onto the canvas. There are lots of
options which are demonstrated by this image (remember that what you're
drawing is the source and the destination
is what's already on the canvas). The default value is
An example
window.onload = function ()
var canvas = document.getElementById('cvs');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Set the globalCompositeOperation to the default
context.globalCompositeOperation = 'source-over';
var img = new Image();
img.src = '/images/logo.png';
img.onload = function ()
context.drawImage(img, 16, 16);
Canvas layers with the globalCompositeOperation
Out of the different options that is available to you is
destination-over. This (in a very
simple sense) gives you a way to implement a background and foreground layer
effect - so that you can draw something behind
what is already on the canvas. There is a demonstration of this at the link

A simple method is presented to show kids the size of a microbe – a fungus hypha – compared to a human hair. Common household items are used to make sterile medium on a stove or hotplate, which is dispensed in the cells of a weekly plastic pill box. Mold fungi can be easily and safely grown on the medium from the classroom environment. A microscope capable of 200–400× is necessary. Students can use a hair from their own head to view a fungus and a hair side-by-side on the same slide. They will see that a microscopic fungus hypha is 20–50× smaller in diameter than a hair. Older students will also learn that microbes are measured in micrometers, that fungi are ubiquitous, and that decay is an inevitable part of Earth's processes.

Overcoming your first hurdle.
A common issue amongst the high-flying women I work with is that they feel that by focussing on their career they have not had the time to devote to finding a partner or soulmate. And now find that they are ready but don't know how to overcome the hurdles that now stand in their way.
Considering the feedback to my last article about high-flying women and dating, I have decided to share my findings about finding a soulmate or partner.
The Hurdle:
In part one I am going to share about the key obstacle – fear.
Even women who are powerful leaders can still experience fear when it comes to intimate relationships.
My approach to successfully managing my own fearsI owe to a book written by Susan Jeffers. I didn't need to read the book as the title alone inspired me to move forward. "Feel the fear and do it anyway". It's now one of my toolkit of powerful mantras.
I don't believe that I have ever met anyone ever who has not suffered fear. Ever. Do these people hide away from life? I am sad to say some do, but I believe that it is only because they have never had access to the help that they need.
I could give you all of the justification in the world, like "life is too short" which it is! "if you think you can't you can't. If you think you can, you can." Again it's true. Sometimes these work for people and if they do for you, great.
The Power:
Fear is it's most powerful when you believe that you are different, that you are unique, that you are the ONLY person that suffers from this particular fear. It's debilitating. It locks you down. it imprisons you.
The Release:
Let me give you the key to your prison. The only way to break out is to voice your fear and discover that you honestly aren't alone. If we all talked about our fears and our emotions I am convinced that the world would be a better place. Oops, nearly got on my soapbox again!
But seriously, if you knew that someone else shared your fear wouldn't it make your fear seem less insurmountable?
Trust me, the feedback I have received tells me without a doubt that you are not the only high-flyer to have fears about dating.
The Fears:
So what are these fears?
Let me give you some real examples:
- Rejection
- Being hurt
- Being conned
- I'm too old
- I'm too fat
- I'm too ugly
- I'm too shy
- Don't know how to do relationships
- It's been too long
- Unfamiliar with the "rules of dating"
- I've too much baggage
- There's no-one out there for me
- As a strong, powerful women I will be feared
- Long distance relationships don't work
- I'm too set in my ways
- Loss of control
- Loss of independence
- Fear of being unable to meet my intellectual equal
- Meeting someone with children
There are many reasons.
So what do you do?
You have decided you would like a partner, or a soulmate but one or many of these fears stop you.
Don't let them.
The Process:
Obviously I could write a book about how high-flying women can overcome the fear of dating, but I wanted to share something today, so this is it in it's simplest form.
Step 1 – Know you have your fear and accept it. It's OK to have your fear, what's not OK is if you let it prevent you living your life.
Step 2 – Identify what you want from a soulmate. No I'm not suggesting you go around with a shopping list, but it does help you understand where best to search.
Step 3 – Go looking.
Step 4 – Go on a date.
OK perhaps not that simple for everyone reading this.
The Solution:
Let's examine our list of fears.
Rejection – Everyone has been rejected at least once in life. It's not always personal. So don't take it personally. Also the past is gone. You will have changed. Take each new episode in life as it comes. Live in today.
Being hurt – Anyone who doesn't get hurt in life hasn't lived. Make sure you have a good support network of healthy individuals who believe that you have a right to date, not the toxic people who think you don't. When you hurt, let them support you. When you are unsure about something use your support network as a sounding board to test out your way forward – note I said "your"!
Being conned – the problem with technology these days is that it is easy to discover things about you, your status, your job, and some people will try to take advantage of that. Whatever your status, if someone you have only just met asks you for money, usually because they are in trouble, just ask yourself if I wanted a relationship with someone and I've only just met them would I even consider asking them for money? Hopefully you answer is "Hell No".
Now the "I'm too's":-
First – who says? We are all different. Let's take 'I'm too fat' as an example. You could work on either losing weight or changing your belief, and you could also choose not to. However, look around you. Is every fat person in the world without a partner? No.
As for the rest of your fears either accept them, get educated about relationships, or change. Because YOU can.
I appreciate that this process may seem simplistic, that's because it is. About 99% of you will be able to overcome your fear by applying this process.
Extra Help:
For those of you who feel you can't, contact me and I'll empower you to.
Go feel your fear then do it anyway.
But before you begin I'll tell you how to overcome your next barrier in part 2.
Guys. Let you into a secret! Many of my high-flying male clients suffer these fears too.
As a personal identity coach, I facilitate my clients discovery of their true self, what they want from life and/or career, how to get it, and get it. I work with clients in person or through video worldwide.
Feel free to interview me or contact me for a free phone/online consultation at email@example.com. I look forward to meeting you!

Several years ago we worked with an excellent company in North Carolina that makes specialized construction vehicles. Part of their lean management project included the development of a visual planning board to encompass the primary production processes.
There were two principle reasons for having the board. First, there was a good deal of miscommunication between different groups within the company – sales, production, purchasing, shipping, etc. All of these people needed to be working in sync so the company's products could be manufactured and delivered to the customers on-time and cash could be collected. Secondly, there was the usual personal conflict that crops up when there are misunderstandings and divergent priorities.
Bruce Baggaley, BMA Senior Partner, went to work with the company's President and the VP's of Sales, Operations, and Finance, along with their value stream leaders. They developed a simple and effective planning board. The board was a huge hit!!
Immediately, the people found it easy to use and helpful. It required the discipline of a stand-up meeting twice per week and using standard criteria for making priority decisions. Within 3 months the production process was running very smoothly and finished goods had gone to zero in the plant because they were making what they knew they could ship, shipping it, and getting paid.
Last month I visited the company again. First time in about 4 years. And they proudly showed me that the board was not only still in use but continues to be the driving force of their sales and operations processes.
Here's the irony – or rather the "cautionary tale."
The VP of Operations from this company has now moved on to another organization in the area and he has been having similar problems of communication and conflict relating to their production processes. So he decided to create a similar board as used in his previous company. This is a great way to "pollinate" good ideas that really work! And, sure enough, the board worked well, except he has people in his value stream who are not physically located near to the board.
To solve this he asked IT to provide him with a webcam so everybody could be included in the stand-up meeting.
IT decided that the board should be "automated".
They built a scheduler in Oracle ERP, which they then exported to Excel, and then posted it to a Sharepoint site. It cost $5,000 to develop, plus $500 for the Sharepoint connection, and on-going time for his people to enter all the information.
More importantly, it misses the point! The short meeting around the board, with colleagues focused and invested in understanding the information, working together to solve problems and making good decisions for the company is gone! Replaced by a slick "system," a complicated and technical process that requires people to enter data they could just as easily write down manually.
My friend from the previous company's comment was "Clueless!"
Please do not misunderstand me. I am not a Luddite. I find myself as interested in the latest gizmo as the next guy, especially if it keeps me from having to lug heavy stuff around in my briefcase from airport to airport! Technology can be extremely helpful. Having a webcam was a great idea. There's no question that there are some things software can do better than people.
But visual meetings around boards that are updated by hand always produce better results. Because it's the RESULTS we are after, not the razzle-dazzle. Because the real point is the human interaction and creativity that go into the process.
People who do NOT understand this will look at a handwritten board and say it is rudimentary. But people who have worked effectively with stand-up meetings around the boards recognize that this is much more sophisticated than an ERP system and Sharepoint.

The US Navy published a detailed report in October 2009 entitled The US Navy Arctic Roadmap. This document is sponsored by an organization know as Task Force Climate Change which is headed by the Oceanographer and Navigator of the Navy, Rear-Admiral David Titley. You can read the report here.
The Arctic Roadmap is the first product of "Task Force Climate Change." This organization was established by the Chief of Naval Operations on 15 May 2009. The task force has a four-year mandate and is tasked to "make recommendations to Navy leadership regarding policy, strategy, force structure, and investments relating to the changing Arctic specifically and global climate change in general."
The Arctic Roadmap lays out numerous Action Items, describes Desired Effects and Objectives for each item, assigns Lead and Support Authorities for each item, and identifies Suspense Dates (by Year and Quarter) for reporting. The roadmap also proposes the framework of a Strategic Communications and Outreach plan. The Canadian navy is listed first on a list of "international offices, agencies, governments, and militaries involved in the Arctic" that the USN has identified for "establishing and maintaining consistent outreach with, and providing information." The list includes but is not limited to:
o Canadian Navy
o Royal Navy
o UK Hydrographic Office
o Russian Navy
o Royal Danish Navy
o Royal Norwegian Navy
o International Ice Patrol
o Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF)
o Icelandic Coast Guard
o Canadian Coast Guard
o Russian Border Guard
The Arctic Roadmap report is an example of high quality USN staff work. Beyond that, it is impressive that the USN has assigned such high priority to arctic research and exploration that a flag-rank officer that has acquired both doctoral and master's degrees at navy expense has been assigned to head the organization and lead the task force. Will Admiral Titley find the right contact within the Canadian navy and will that person have the education and experience to liaise effectively with him? The Canadian navy does not have an oceanography expert even close to equivalent rank (probably only a commander). If, as the Prime Minister has said on numerous occasions, the "strategic future of Canada" is inextricably linked with the Arctic, should the Canadian navy be placing more emphasis on arctic knowledge and experience and should its organization be changed to place more emphasis on such things as marine science, and less on tactical proficiencies?
A related subject: Marinelink.com is reporting that Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has introduced the "Arctic Deep Water Sea Port Act" (S. 2849). Her bill will require a study and report on the feasibility and potential of establishing a deep water sea port in the Arctic to protect and advance strategic interests of the United States. The bill recognizes that arctic conditions are evolving and that the region is becoming more important to the United States. About the bill, Senator Murkowski said:
"The United States needs to be able to guard its territorial claims and its economic interests in the Arctic, especially as a decrease in seasonal ice is leading to increased marine activity in the region. With the high potential for further industrial and commercial activity in the Arctic region, the United States must ensure that it is prepared to protect human life as well as the vulnerable Arctic environment."

Well, Chicago, we're officially on what feels like our fourth winter, but I'm staying hopeful that spring is on its way! I mean, the groundhog did say so after all 🙂 In an attempt to bring my second favorite season that much closer, I'm rounding up a few of spring's hottest trends. Check them out below, and see which products I'm lusting after or already use for each!
All You // The self-care trend truly exploded last year. From creating a personalized skincare routine to finding your perfect foundation shade match in a lineup of 40, it's all about YOU and your signature go-to items. A few months ago, I picked up a new signature scent, Burberry My Burberry Blush, but I've also been loving Proenza Schouler's Arizona, which is such a spring scent. For spring, I love to go lighter on the makeup too, usually opting for bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer and a thicker concealer. I'm DYING to try Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Away Concealer!
Power Pout // Though I'm usually not a gloss gal, that all changed last year! I started to lean into more metallic toppers like Pixi x Chloe Morello's Lip Icing and Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Laquer, but this spring, bold high shine glosses with color are seriously trending. Keep the rest of your makeup simple, and let your lips do the talking (literally)! I want to try NARS Lip Gloss in Belize and MAC Cosmetics Cremesheen Glass in Just Superb to give the amped-up shine look a go.
Tropicalia Spring // After a long gray winter, spring is all about COLOR, and its reemergence into our routines! Whether it's softly blended or in your face bold, make color work for you. One of my favorite ways to play with it is blush! I recently picked up bareMinerals Gen Nude Powder Blush in "You Had Me At Merlot," and it's the most gorgeous strawberry pink. Prefer more citrusy shades? Yellow eyeliner or orange lips bring the equator that much closer, even if you don't have a sunny vacation planned!
Want to learn more about spring's best beauty trends? Nordstrom is now hosting their seasonal Beauty Trend Events, where guests can learn how to achieve the freshest runaway-inspired looks (AND receive free samples and exclusive gifts with purchase)! Talk about fun right? Grab a girlfriend and RSVP online here. Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

I have worked with Allen on several theatrical projects starting in 2007. I have found him to be an innovative director and developer of individual's talent for his productions. His enthusiasm for the productions is reflected in the large amount of time he puts in preparation, creation of sets and rehearsals. I look forward to participation in future productions with Allen.
Ray Martin January 22, 2017
It has been nearly twenty years since Allen Moore first ministered to my congregation in directing a Christmas drama as a college student. His passion to produce not merely good theatre, but to set a stage for the work of the Holy Spirit to impact lives through the message of the drama was clear even then. I love his understanding of theatre, not as a performance for God or a method for manipulating people, but rather a tool to be surrendered and committed to God so that He can accomplish His purpose. Allen's ministry will not merely create great performances, it will have lasting results.
Phil Duncan Pastor New Life Family Worship Center Fulton, Kentucky January 11, 2016
I worked with Allen Moore for several years while I was the Minister of Music at a large church in St. Louis, MO. He is a creative director, producer, excellent script writer, actor, and creative set designer. From monologues to full drama productions, Allen always produced the highest quality productions for our church and community. I would unhesitatingly recommend Allen to you.
Louis Salazar November 24, 2015
I really enjoyed the production. It was well done. Every aspect of the production was very good.

Wifi no longer working after upgrade to 2.3.1
Today I have finished a fresh full installation of pfSense 2.3.1 (amd64) on an mSATA of an apu1d4. The installation worked as expected and I could manually reinstall the needed nut package without any issues.
Unfortunately, my wifi card stopped working, e.g. the dashboard shows the wlan interfaces are down. Indeed, I have cloned the interface to have to SSIDs "wlan" and "wlan2". This setup with exactly the same hardware is working without any trouble with pfSense 2.2.6.
My WLAN card is a Compex WLE200NX abgn based on an Atheros AR9280 chip: http://www.pcengines.ch/wle200nx.htm
Update: When saving any changes to the interfaces WLAN and WLAN2 I obtain following errors:
ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path! ath0: ath_reset: concurrent reset! Danger!
Meanwhile I have done numerous tests with my wireless configuration. The good news: It is possible to bring up both wireless clones in a reliable way. Bad news: This usually does not happen on a regular reboot.
I figured out that after a cold or warm reboot at least one of the wireless clones does not start correctly and shows up as "down" in the webGUI. However, it s possible to bring up such a device, if you select the device and just save the settings of this interface without making any changes. Somestimes you have to repeat this step once again but as soon as the interface is up, it is working correctly.
After numerous reboot tests I had approximately one out of 30 attempts where both wireless clones are initialized correctly and show up as "up".
My apu1d4 with a fresh and full installation of version 2.3.2 is online now and I am going to collect further experiences with special focus on the wirless subsystem.
Apart from this wireless issue and a small and meanwhile fixed error with the NUT package (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=115760.0) pfSense 2.3.2 leaves a good impression.
Thanks for the good work.

I have the same bug like you
I have set up two VAP on my pfsense on the ath0
WIFI ath0_wlan1
WIFI-GUEST ath0_wlan2
After a reboot, my pfsense is looping
Configuring LAGG interfaces...done. Configuring VLAN interfaces...done. Configuring QinQ interfaces...done. Configuring WAN interface...done. Configuring WIFI interface... ```crashhhhhhhhhh
<118>Configuring WIFI interface...
ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations
ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path!
ath0: ath_chan_set: concurrent reset! Danger!
After few tests, i have bypass the bug by starting the pfsense on "Safe Mode" * Press "space" on the startup menu of pfsense to freeze the menu * Press "o" to enter in option * Press "m" to activate the "Safe Mode" * Press "enter" to laucnh pfsense with your option which you select NB : if you reboot again, your pfsense will not start in safe mode by default. I don't know what is the best way to fix it :/
Your experiences sound even worse.
Although my card is showing the same errors and warnings I have never seen them on a regular reboot. They appear on my apu1d4 only, when saving the wireless settings in the webGUI. And luckily I have not had any crash so far.
Is there no chance to bring up your apu2c4 in non-safe, e.g. regular mode?
I am particularly interested in this question because I am thinking about getting an apu2 as well :).
Just a shot in the dark: On the PC Engines homepage I have just read the changlog of the BIOS versions and have found:
Update 1/20/2016: fix miniPCIe IRQ assignments, wle200nx working
Are you running the lastest BIOS version?

Is this game worth playing anymore?
Riot, you know you are loosing players, you know the reason, do it.. make this game cool again. We got a new map, thanks! We got URF back, thanks! We got cool gamemodes, thanks! But you know what we didn't got? Balance. Yes, balance. The only thing I see today is " follow the meta or get stomped " . It is true! Have you seen any Aatrox recently? Fiddlesticks? Nunu? Singed? Soraka? Taric? Trundle? Yorick? Zilean? Zyra? I didn't! You know why? Because they aren't viable anymore, because they get countered very easy! Where's the feeling of " I'm gonna call a friend and we'll have so MUCH FUN! " ? I forgot that feeling, some of my friends stopped playing this game because of balance. I need the old good days back, and you know it. And I'm not the only one! I've seen TONS of threads like this, you have seen them too, but you ignored them. Are you making fun of us? Kalista? Let's give her a dash EVERY AUTO. Cool, downvote me, Riot will see this too, they'll ignore it. I'm out. I can't play this again, sry, the old good days are gone. Playing Orianna mid just because I liked the champion and she was weekly, not because she was in the meta. Thanks for making me spend 2 years in this game, and I regret only the last 5 moths, thanks for making me spending real monney's on this, the content is great, I'm talking about the skins and things like that. But the game.. better not complain anymore....

Joe Fox, Meg Ryan, Nora Ephron, NY152, Romantic comedy film, Shopgirl, Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks
This sweet romantic comedy reunites "Sleepless In Seattle" stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. He's the owner of a bookstore chain; she's the woman he falls for online. Both are unaware that she runs the little shop his company is trying to shut down.
– IMDb
(Credit of the gifs to the maker)
While most people watch Sleepless in Seattle first & then this one, I have done it the other way round. We just got a new LED TV & this is the first movie I watched on it HD. A new TV, HD picture quality & a movie which turned out to be super good!!! I was pleased no end. 🙂
There is something about Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan. Its not the usual sizzling chemistry, but something softer & more romantic which just shows onscreen. I loved these two together.
The main concept is something which is close to my heart. Meeting someone online & falling for them, or rather falling for their thoughts without even meeting them once may sound crazy to read but it does happen. The power of words I suppose. Seeing Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) tiptoe & make sure her boyfriend has gone before she rushed to her computer had me grinning like an idiot. Being a net addict this is exactly what I do almost daily. Though unfortunately I don't have a Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) on the other side waiting for an email from me. 😛
I loved the cozy little book store which Kathleen owns. Joe Fox unknowingly helping out Kathleen in her professional crisis was fun to watch especially since he was the one causing all the trouble for her. While in the beginning I was worried whether Kathleen would forgive him for forcing her to close her business since it was her mom who had started it, it came as a relief when she did not let it affect her personal life & moved on without holding any grudges against him.
This movie has no great big romantic moments but the small ones are the ones which touched me the most. Joe & Kathleen decide to meet up for the first time in a restaurant. However after Joe comes to know that his email friend is the same woman who he is soon going to put out of business he goes away. But then seeing her sitting there all by herself, waiting patiently for him he comes back & keeps her company without revealing anything about his virtual self. When she is ill he gets her daisies which NY152 knows from Shopgirl 🙂 From there on he carefully builds up their friendship so that she isn't too shocked when she comes to know who NY152 actually is! The ending left a big smile on my face.
A 5/5 for this movie from me. I will be watching this again & again.

Head Qrs Lee's Cav Div
Dec 14th 1864
My Dear Mother
As I have such a direct opportunity of sending you word how we all are I can not let it pass by with out writing you a few lines. I suppose you have heard how badly the Yankees have been behaving down here in the last two or three days & how hard we tried to punish them & how we failed. The weather was terrible & the men suffered horribly but were very anxious to get hold of the impudent foe who were laying waste all over country & spoiling the poor inhabitants of all they possessed.
The Cav were in time & in the right place but Genl Hill's troops did not come up in time & as the enemy were in such large force we could do nothing with them. We are going to move tomorrow down to Hicks Ford on the Weldon R R until the road is completed up to this point, Stony Creek. It will take a week or ten days to repair all damages. Ask Agnes to let me know when my goods come from Wilmington & remember me to the blockaders & ask Shirley if he will soon wire walk out to Navy Hill stables & look after my horse some evening when he has nothing better to do, I send this up by ft & Frank Robertson who is suffering very much from Rheumatism I'll ask him to go & see the Girls but I don't know whether he will or not, but any how ask them to be civil for my sake.
John & Fitzhugh are well & good. I & all send a great deal of love to your family & every one else & believe me every your loving son
R E Lee
