SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Director Michael Ninn announced today that his complete DVD catalog is online at MichaelNinn.com.
Ninn said retailers and consumers now have access to the entire Ninn Worx DVD catalog and that the store will serve as the signature source for new DVD releases beyond 2012.
The catalog offers all of the auteur's award winning lines such as "Innocence," "Solo Erotica" and "FEM," along with feature productions.
Plans are in the wroks to offer new releases in digital streaming and download, along with both Blu-Ray and DVD formats.
"Our catalog of more than 100 titles has been unavailable for distribution to the retail market for approximately two years.
"Adam and Eve distributed "The Four" this year, and that is available to all retail outlets. However, our very popular series lines, and features like "Sacred Sin," "Catherine," and "In the Garden of Shadows" have been missing from most retailers' shelves," Ninn said.
Retailers interested in ordering the titles through their in-house distribution channel can contact firstname.lastname@example.com for wholesale pricing lists and other information.

2014 NBA Mock Draft
Round 1
1. Cleveland – Andrew Wiggins, SF, Kansas 6'8'' 200
For the third time in four years, the Cavaliers have the number one pick. Fair or not, last year's top pick of Anthony Bennett is already being viewed as a disappointment. Because of this, Cleveland has even more pressure to swing for the fences with this pick. Wiggins is unanimously seen as the prospect in this draft with the highest ceiling. He can be a lockdown perimeter defender and can score almost effortlessly at times when he decides to be aggressive.
2. Milwaukee – Joel Embiid, C, Kansas 7'0'' 250
Larry Sanders has some talent, but silly technical fouls and unavailability have hampered his game. He missed 59 games last year, and his production per game dropped across the board from where he was last year. Sanders inconsistency and off-court issues could lead the Bucks looking for reliable help up front. Embiid improved leaps and bounds in just one year. He shows a promising offensive low-post game and excellent defensive instincts.
3. Philadelphia – Jabari Parker, SF/PF, Duke 6'8'' 235
With two 2013 lottery picks on their roster (including this year's Rookie of the Year in Michael Carter-Williams) and two more lottery picks this year, the Sixers have a shot at forming a nice young nucleus. Thaddeus Young is coming off of a solid season, but could benefit from playing less defensively in the post. Jabari Parker has an NBA ready physique and can handle low post banging. He has the offensive skill set to develop into a versatile scorer.
4. Orlando – Dante Exum, PG, Australia 6'6'' 196
The Magic has an intriguing collection of young talent to include Nikola Vucevic, Tobias Harris, and Victor Oladipo, but they do not have a point guard of the future. Jameer Nelson is 32 years old and is coming off of consecutive seasons shooting below 40% from the field. Exum brings length and quickness to the backcourt which would give Orlando a new look. He knows how to get to the free throw line – an area this team needs help in.
5. Utah – Noah Vonleh, PF, Indiana 6'10'' 247
Marvin Williams has been a mild disappointment since arriving in Utah. In two seasons with the Jazz, he averaged just 8.1 points per game after putting up 12.1 points per contest in his previous six seasons with the Hawks. The Jazz may need a more productive "stretch 4" to join Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter in the frontcourt. Vonleh didn't shoot a ton in college, but he seems to have a nice shooting stroke. He would be an upgrade on the boards as well.
6. Boston – Marcus Smart, PG, Oklahoma State 6'3'' 227
Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley combined to average 26.5 points per game, making them one of the lowest scoring starting backcourt duos in the league. Boston could use more scoring punch from their guards, and that will become a larger need if Jerryd Bayless doesn't return. Though he ran the point in college, Smart is more of a scorer than distributor and can create his own offense. He plays the type of active defense the Celtics like from their guards.
7. L.A. Lakers – Julius Randle, PF, Kentucky 6'9'' 250
The only big man for the Lakers under contract for next season is Robert Sacre. Pau Gasol has hinted that he would like to play for a contender next year, so there is a real chance that he leaves. If he does, Kobe Bryant would certainly want to bring in someone ready to contribute right away. Randle has a strong body and should be able to compete in the post immediately. His tenacity on the boards at both ends should lead to immediate production.
8. Sacramento – Aaron Gordon, PF, Arizona 6'9'' 220
Out of the 18 players to average 20 points per game last year, three of them play for the Kings. DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay, and Isaiah Thomas were the only trio of teammates to each average 20 points per game. Ben McLemore also has upside as a scorer, so the Kings have enough offense. Gordon projects as a versatile defender who can guard either forward position. Any offense he provides would come from his high energy and raw athleticism.
9. Charlotte – Zach LaVine, PG/SG, California-Los Angeles 6'6'' 181
After starters Gerald Henderson and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist combined to make 0 three-pointers in their playoff series loss to the heat, Charlotte could also use another shooter/scorer. LaVine is very raw, but has displayed flashes of scoring potential with his quickness, tremendous athleticism, and nice shooting stroke. He is viewed as a point guard, but played off the ball a lot in college so playing alongside Kemba Walker wouldn't be a big adjustment.
10. Philadelphia – Gary Harris, SG, Michigan State 6'4'' 205
The top three guards for the Sixers (Michael Carter-Williams, James Anderson, Tony Wroten Jr.) combined to shoot a lowly 28.1% from 3-point range, leading to Philadelphia finishing dead last in 3-point percentage last year. Harris is a very good shooter from beyond the arc, and is also a fairly well-rounded player. One thing Philadelphia already does well is create steals, and with his strong perimeter defense and active hands Harris could add to that strength.
11. Denver – Adreian Payne, PF, Michigan State 6'10'' 238
While Kenneth Faried enjoyed somewhat of a breakout season last year, the Nuggets don't have a reliable option behind him or a big man who can stretch the floor consistently. Darrell Arthur and Anthony Randolph both filled in that role, but both shot under 40% from the field. Payne is a much improved outside shooter now than he was when he first entered college. He is older than your typical NBA prospect (age 23), but Denver is not in rebuilding mode.
12. Orlando – Doug McDermott, SF, Creighton 6'8'' 218
Arron Afflalo has improved his scoring average every year and was the team's leading scorer last year, but he has expressed interest in playing for a contender next year. If he is not a part of Orlando's long-term plans, the team will need a go-to scorer for what is already a mediocre offense. McDermott is the 5th all-time leading scorer in NCAA history, so he knows how to get baskets. He has outstanding range on his jumper and can also score from mid-range.
13. Minnesota – Nik Stauskas, SG, Michigan 6'6'' 207
It doesn't seem like the Timberwolves are in Kevin Love's long-term plans. If that is the case, Minnesota has to start working to replace his production now. Love was 4th in the league in scoring last year, so the Wolves would need multiple scorers to replace that production. Stauskas' main weapon is his outside shooting, but he proved he can score a few different ways last year. He would help offset the potential loss of Love's prolific three-point shooting.
14. Phoenix – James Young, SF, Kentucky 6'7'' 213
An extremely deep Western Conference kept the 48-34 Suns out of the postseason, but for a non-playoff team they currently have a solid roster. Young has major upside as a pure scorer, but is mostly reliant on a streaky jump shot for his offense. If he lands in a spot where he is eased in and given time to develop his game, he has the potential to become a force at both ends. Phoenix showed a lot of patience with rookies Alex Len and Archie Goodwin last year.
15. Atlanta – Rodney Hood, SF, Duke 6'8'' 208
The Hawks were 2nd in the league with 25.8 three-point attempts beyond the arc. That number jumped to 32.9 attempts per game in their playoff series against Indiana, culminating with a massive 44 shots launched from beyond the arc in their last game (an NBA playoff single game record). Hood is adept at knocking down shots from outside, so he fits right in with what Atlanta wants to do. He is also a capable mid-range scorer if the defense closes too hard.
16. Chicago – Elfrid Payton, PG, Louisiana (Lafayette) 6'4'' 185
Derrick Rose has suffered two significant knee injuries since April 2012, so it stands to reason that they may want to add some extra insurance for him. Specifically, the Bulls need another ball handler capable of creating his own offense. Payton has great quickness and athleticism which affords him opportunities to attack the basket. On defense, he gives good effort and has active hands, so along with being a scoring threat he fits the Thibodeau mold.
17. Boston – Jusuf Nurkic, C, Bosnia 6'11'' 280
Although the Celtics seemed to have a sufficient number of big bodies last year, they never seemed to have anyone who seemed like an ideal fit at center. Jared Sullinger in particular looked more comfortable and was more effective when manning the four position as opposed to the five. Simply put, Nurkic has the build of a bona fide NBA center. He needs some seasoning, but his offensive post presence and physicality are good building blocks to work with.
18. Phoenix – Tyler Ennis, PG, Syracuse 6'2'' 181
Goran Dragić enjoyed a breakout campaign last year, winning the NBA's Most Improved Player award and being named to an All-NBA team for the first time in his career. His emergence as a high-level NBA point guard begs the question of whether the Suns can afford to extend him and Eric Bledsoe over the next two summers. Ennis would be a solid contingency plan. For a young player, he has an exceptional basketball IQ and poise in late game situations.
19. Chicago – Clint Capela, PF, Switzerland 6'11'' 222
It doesn't sound like Carlos Boozer will be back with the Bulls next year. His production has been disappointing given his huge contract, and moving his salary would be a big step towards improving next year. Capela has massive upside due to his length and raw athleticism, as opposed to the low-end options Chicago currently has behind Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson. He needs to be coached up, but he could end up being a top-level rim protector.
20. Toronto – Kyle Anderson, SF, California-Los Angeles 6'8'' 230
The Raptors have a team option for John Salmons next year and with Toronto expected to do everything in their power to retain the service of Kyle Lowry, Salmons' option could be declined to make more money available. Salmons is a plus ball-handler and passer at the wing position, so the Raptors could look to replace that skill set. Anderson is a unique prospect in that he has the body of an NBA forward, but looks like a guard with the ball.
21. Oklahoma City – Jordan Clarkson, PG, Missouri 6'5'' 186
In the three playoff games Reggie Jackson started and finished, he averaged 15.7 points per game on 48.7% shooting from the field. If Jackson has done enough to earn a starting spot for next year the Thunder may need another ball handler to bring off of the bench. Clarkson would add even more scoring and athleticism to Oklahoma City's backcourt. He's not a pure point guard, but neither were Jackson or Russell Westbrook when they were drafted.
22. Memphis – Shabazz Napier, PG, Connecticut 6'1'' 175
Nick Calathes did a nice job for the Grizzlies last year when called upon, but he ended the season being suspended 20 games under the NBA anti-drug policy. Calathes' suspension will carry over into next year, and with him and Beno Udrih having expiring contracts, Memphis may need more depth behind Mike Conley. Napier is a gritty, blue-collar player who fits the Memphis culture. He could fill the Jerryd Bayless role of a scoring guard off the bench.
23. Utah – T.J. Warren, SF, North Carolina State 6'8'' 220
Given that the team seems to be in rebuilding mode, it was a bit peculiar at the least to see the Jazz give 78 starts and 27 minutes per game to 33-year-old Richard Jefferson. Assuming they decide to go young at small forward as they have at every other position, there will be a nice chunk of playing time available for a young wing in Utah. Warren is a natural scorer who scores with efficiency. He uses his physicality to draw fouls and to be a factor on the glass.
24. Charlotte – Cleanthony Early, SF, Wichita State 6'7'' 209
Anthony Tolliver had a few nice moments here and there operating as a stretch combo forward, but never consistently had an impact due to his inability to do much other than knock down threes. Early demonstrated the ability to shoot from deep, but he can also score from inside the arc and as alluded to earlier, the Hornets need more reliable secondary scoring options. Early would also bring an additional threat on the offensive glass to Charlotte.
25. Houston – K.J. McDaniels, SF, Clemson 6'6'' 196
The prevailing thought around the league is that the Rockets will try to add a significant piece to go alongside James Harden and Dwight Howard. Houston was already 2nd in the NBA in points per game last year and 1st in three pointers made. If the Rockets make a move, they'll have plenty of offense and may look to add a little defense. McDaniels can provide strong defense on multiple positions on the perimeter without being a liability on offense.
26. Miami – C.J. Wilcox, SG, Washington 6'5'' 201
Dwyane Wade missed 28 games last season and averaged a career low in minutes. At age 32 with questionable knees, the maintenance plan for Wade is likely to continue. Ray Allen will turn 39 this summer, and if he is back next year there are only so many minutes he would be able to absorb. Wilcox could take some of the playing time off of Wade and Allen's hands while serving as another 3-point shooting threat who can help space the floor.
27. Phoenix – Dario Saric, PF, Croatia 6'10'' 223
With three first round picks at their disposal, the Suns can afford to take a chance with at least one of them if in fact they do keep all three. Saric is considered a lottery-caliber prospect, and is rated the best and most versatile European player in the draft. It is a little unclear what his immediate plans are, as he declared then withdrew from the 2013 draft then flirted with the idea of withdrawing again this year. Phoenix can afford to stash him if necessary.
28. L.A. Clippers – Mitch McGary, PF, Michigan 6'10'' 250
The Clippers have a nice starting duo up front in Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, but there is little depth behind them. As a result, both have had to average 35+ minutes per game. L.A. needs at least one more big man to pick up the slack, especially on the nights they are in foul trouble (both were top 15 in fouls per game last year). We weren't able to see much of McGary in college, but he flashed scoring ability in the post and effectiveness on the glass.
29. Oklahoma City – Glenn Robinson III, SF, Michigan 6'7'' 211
Caron Butler was acquired to be an extra offensive threat on the wing coming off of the bench. After arriving in Oklahoma City, Butler went on to shoot just 36.9% from inside the arc during the regular season. That number dropped to a putrid 28.6% from two-point range during the playoffs. Robinson is an efficient scorer from two-point range thanks to his driving and slashing. He is a complementary scorer who is comfortable as a secondary option.
30. San Antonio – Jordan Adams, SG, California-Los Angeles 6'5'' 209
As the Spurs closed out their latest championship run, the main focus was on the system they run and how they get players to match the system and unselfish culture. Adams is used to being a bit overshadowed after playing with more highly rated prospects in college, so he is "over himself" as Gregg Popovich likes to stay. He moves well and constantly without the ball, so he seems like a system fit. He is also a strong defender who is adept at getting steals.

I am starting with this blog series in which I will be detailing the steps of NSX-T installation in my lab environment which will be later used for PKS installation and integration..
In Part1 , I am deploying NSX manager followed by 3 NSX controllers and connecting them to NSX manger. This deployment is based on the latest NSX-T release 2.2 and currently on ESXi. I will be adding KVM transport nodes to the setup at a later stage.
I have downloaded NSX-T manager 2.2 OVA for ESXi and NSX-T controllers OVA for ESXi from VMware website : https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?productId=673&downloadGroup=NSX-T-220
In my lab, I have 4 ESXi nodes running VSAN on which the deployment will proceed. I have created 5 nested ESXi host will be used as transport nodes for the NSX-T deployment.
Deployment of NSX-T manager is pretty straightforward ova deployment which will require IP address, DNS, NTP entries. After the deployment of the NSX manager booting up, we can login into the NSX-T manager, and check the status of the interface.
After the NSX-T manager is deployed , its time for NSX-T controllers to be deployed. Again, NSX-T controllers for ESXi are OVA as well and then 3 of them are deployed on ESXi as below.
After the NSX-T controllers are deployed, we need to confirm its reachability to NSX-T manager before we can go ahead with the steps of connecting controllers with NSX-T manager.
Connect to NSX-T manager SSH, and run the below command to get thumbprint:
#nsxt-mgr > get certificate api thumbprint
After that, connect using SSH to each of the NSX controller's and run the below command:
#nsxt-controller1 > join management-plane NSX-Manager-IP-address username admin thumbprint <NSX-Manager-thumbprint>
After joining the NSX-T controllers to the NSX-T manager, verify the result by running the "get managers" command.
On the NSX-T manager , run the below command to check that NSX controllers are listed.
Once, all the NSX controllers are connected to NSX manager, then a NSX-T controller needs to be set as the master and the control cluster needs to be initialized.
- Open an SSH session for your NSX Controller.
- Run the set control-cluster security-model shared-secret secret <secret> command and type a shared secret when prompted. Ensure you remember the secret key.
- Run the initialize control-cluster command.
This command makes this controller the control cluster master
After this , get the control-cluster status and verify that master is in majority are true and the status is active and the zookeeper server IP is reachable.
Post which we need to join the other controllers to the master.

Workplace design is finally adapting to human needs, rather than the other way round. So, how do you make a great office environment?
One of the most striking developments in the corporate world over the past few decades is the extent to which human resources departments have emerged from their back office status, becoming more akin to drivers of value than simple cost centres.
The change is partly a response to shifting perceptions of productivity. Traditionally defined as the cost of producing revenue, productivity is increasingly seen as the cost to a company to produce long term value that differentiates it from direct competitors.
In this view, higher employee costs can be accommodated as long as whatever is causing that expense (investment in management excellence, better quality output) enables the company to consistently outflank the opposition.
Employee wellbeing becomes a top priority in the new paradigm. Not just because wellbeing ensures workers stay with a company, but because it actually helps them become better, more professional and more innovative workers.
But how to achieve it? There are the gyms and the bike racks, there are the canteens stocked with fresh food, and there are the well-trained managers.
But there is also, and possibly most crucially, the well-designed office space.

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.
Yes, I believe in Angels and believe that they are around me to help me manage with every minute of my life.
I started collecting angels a few years ago. I saw a booth with angels and without thinking I purchased three small angels. They were cute, and still are 🙂
Every angel from my collection has "something" unique that pushed me into buying that angel. A few of my angels, I received as a gift from my mom, my friend, and my students.
My collection isn't huge but is special to me. These small angels always cheer me up during gloomy days. Many of these angels remind me of funny situations and happy moments from my life which I want to remember.
Today I want to show you my collection – happy watching 🙂

I was in a weight lifting gym the other day, not lifting but people watching. I watched as everyone walked around flaunting their pretty muscles, new clothes and new hair style. Everyone looked so sharp as if they were just squeezing in a lift before going out on a date.
Later that day I went into the Jiu Jitsu gym, everyone had a beat up sandals on, hair unkempt, and tournament shirts on from four years ago. Everyone looked as if they were squeezing a workout in before they laze around the pool for the rest of the day. Made me wonder am I encouraging a group of professionals to turn into bums?
I have personally watched Doctors squeeze in private lessons in between patients, Judges say the courts can wait, computer software people look for jobs with less hours, just a to name a few. Things like making lots of money and keeping up with the Kardashians seem to be less important. Family time, mat time, and chill time become most important. Jiu Jitsu "reorganizes priorities", sounds much better than creating bums!

Lennon To Yo Yo: From Music To Noise?
German sociologist and scholar of the 20th century named Theodore W. Adorno once said, "People know what they want because they know what other people want". This one sentence is able to explain the whole psyche of producers and consumers throughout the world. This can be applied not only to the materialist aspects of society but can be witnessed in popular culture as well. Adorno tried to explain how things produced is not only driven by market demands but is also influenced by the common consciousness shared amongst all for those desires, either in the fields of popular music, movies or literature.
Adorno's saying is still applicable (rather, strongly) almost everywhere in the world. This is visible today in variety of changes occurring within the music industries and popular culture in general. John Lennon asking us to imagine a world characteristic of social and economic equality and justice in the 1970s is something which has almost vanished from this generation's minds. Not only are they not curious to search for meaningful lyrics and music but they have taken a leap in the formation of a mentality of only acquiring a taste for music which can hardly be put in the category of music. One is not disregarding music which is characteristic of beats and has a 'partying' element within it. But just acknowledging that as music is when we are entering the 'danger zone'. I am calling this as a danger zone because this kind of taste brings out a serious problem within our culture which is getting embedded greatly.
Indian culture of music was never dominated by artists like Honey Singh in the 80s and the 90s. That was the time when presence of vibrant folk cultures with their folk music as well as Hindustani and Carnatic styles of music could be heard creating essence within the Bollywood. If one wants, one can find problems within all styles of music, such as the well defined gender roles in raagas but this can be considered as highly subjective (like this article). But the aim here is to look at how western notions of music are penetrating in our culture with the rise of globalisation. This penetration should not be condemned as intermixing of different cultures should be appreciated but domination of one on the other can take us to another "danger zone".
The young today is highly getting attracted to "angrezi" music, great attraction and demands for music in genres of hip-hop, pop, rap and other independent music bands have taken a rise. Not that there is any issue with liking western music but a serious drop in the taste of music, especially meaningful lyrics not being appreciated should be seen as an important issue. After all, globalisation does not only get diverse markets and contents global, but makes ideas also travel. And these influential ideas impact us massively. Indian artists' making abusive rap songs is a transparent example of this.
While critically looking at this issue one needs to realise that the producers of such contents cannot be just the ones to be blamed. They are surrounded by constraints of the markets and consumers' taste that partially play a role in what they are making. It is not denied that their own mentality exists within those productions but the demands for such kind of music or films also depict that somewhere the minds of the buyers needs to be analysed as well. Why is it that today we do not expect music which is inspired by Dylan or John Lennon? Why is it that rap songs that are released with great sense of misogyny and racist contents are accepted in great numbers? Does it not represent our thought process and our beliefs?
Bob Dylan's one of the most famous songs rightly said "the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind". Truly, when one looks around, if not answers, questions are and should surely be raised. I strongly believe that questions like these need to be asked so that we are able to critically analyse our own society's elements. As this will lead us further to ask whether we are affecting our culture in the way we are developing our taste in music, after all, the kind of culture one generates, says a lot about its society and its people.

Writing a Will
Wills are very important in protecting your family and possessions when you die. If you do not make one then the Rules of Intestacy will decide what happens to your estate, meaning that even if you are married and have children, there is no guarantee that they receive your assets. It is therefore essential that you make a will so you know exactly who receives what, leaving them protected when you die.
As well as dealing with your possessions, a will also details how you want your funeral to be carried out, who will look after your children, who will perform the requests of your will (the executor) and what would happen if any of your beneficiaries died before you.
As there are a significant number of details which need to be very clear and concise, you should hire a solicitor. They can guide you to avoid any possible pitfalls and ensure that everything you want to happen when you die is obvious to the executor. Without help, people often make a mistake or the lack of clarity means that their will is invalid. Some of the biggest pitfalls people encounter when making a will without help is when there is a business or property outside of England and Wales involved.
Writing a will
It is essential when writing your will that everything is explained clearly and in enough detail, but because many wills are not very straightforward, it is much safer to hire a solicitor to ensure there are no mistakes. This is especially true if you have multiple beneficiaries, properties overseas (which can cause tax issues), live abroad primarily or share a property with someone who is not your husband, wife or civil partner, because it could be easy to end up with disputes when you die.
In your will you need to explain who you want to benefit from it, and how. To ensure your will is valid then you must abide by a set of rules. You must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be of a sound frame of mind
- Create it in writing
- Sign it in front of two witnesses aged 18 and above, who will also need to sign it.
- Write it voluntarily
Updating a will
It is necessary to update your will if your circumstances change, such as a marriage/civil partnership, a divorce, having children/more relatives, or purchasing a new property or expensive item such as a car.
Every five years you should review your will to ensure it is up to date, and if any changes are needed then you need to make an official alteration, which is a codicil. There is no limit to the number of codicils that you can make. Should there be any major changes required then you need to completely redo your will, with an explanation that it cancels all previous wills (which are to be physically destroyed).
Your executor is responsible for fulfilling the wishes of your will, and can be more than one person. If they are happy to have this role, it is suggested that you ask your solicitor to be your executor or a family member or friend who is financially adept. This provides you with confidence that your will is in capable hands.

Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World
(also in french and spanish) – about Migration
Our purpose is to invent, to share, and to practice new forms of collective action, from the local to the global scales, so that together we can exercise more control, together and with Nature, over the future of an increasingly complex and interdependent world.
The challenge of the Alliance is to favor unity within diversity by proclaiming our societies' capacity to understand and assess the complexity of situations, the interdependence of the issues, and the legitimacy of all the different geocultural, thematic, social, and professional viewpoints, and to encourage them all to act accordingly … (What is the Alliance).
What's new;
other important moments;
interesting websites;
Contacts (click on the wanted item).
History of the Alliance: Since the end of the 1980s, different actors of society from a broad range of spheres in various regions of the world have taken a large number of initiatives to contribute to and organize a huge world movement capable of participating in the quest for values, proposals, and rules to overcome the new challenges humanity is facing.
At the beginning of the 1990s, several partners of the FPH (Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation for the Progress of Humankind) organized continental, thematic, and socioprofessional meetings to extend the work they had already started to other initiatives, actors, places, and cultures. In 1993, this impetus resulted in the drafting of the Platform for a Responsible and United World. This text was the starting point for focusing very different contexts on common challenges. The issues were approached from three angles simultaneously: by theme, by world region, and by socioprofessional sphere … (full text).

Sh2-119, Sharpless 119, is a large complex of emission nebulosity in Cygnus constellation, about 2 degrees east of the North American Nebula. It is located just around 68 Cygni, a quite bright star of magnitude 5. (The most bright star in the photo) This target is not very commonly photographed due to a close proximity of brighter and well known targets, like North America and Pelican Nebulae.

In database parlance, a 'key attribute' uniquely identifies a record. An 'index' is a structure that, given an attribute value points to one or several actual objects. The attribute value used by the index is called an 'index field'. A 'primary index' uses the primary key as its index field, thus producing a 'dense index' (where each index value always points to exactly one object). An index that uses another key attribute in the object is called a 'secondary index', and the index field in question a 'secondary key'. Thus, you can define an index on an attribute, but you cannot tell mnesia that the attribute is a 'key' attribute (i.e. unique). An ets 'set' or 'ordered_set' table can be seen as a primary index. Mnesia also supports indexes on non-key attributes, but has no notion of 'secondary keys'. In Mnesia, the 2nd element of the record is always the primary key (if 'set' or 'ordered_set'). I know of no good RDBMS terminology for 'bag' tables, since such tables are not part of the relational database model. Furthermore, all attributes in mnesia are considered atomic -- there are no composite attributes. Thus, you cannot index a combination of attributes, or part of an attribute. /Uffe

A side view of these wonderful birdhouse I discovered the other day on Rue Troon in Brussels, Belgium
There are many times when I get really bored with Brussels. While Brussels is considered a city and not a town or village; it lacks the hustle and bustle of New York City or London. Others may disagree with me and they are entitled to their opinion. I also find Brussels to feel empty at times as you never really see throngs of people running to the offices or feel surrounded by tall buildings. I live right across from the European Parliament and Luxembourg Train Station and while this this the pulse of Europe, I still feel don't feel claustrophobic.
Occasionally I do find some quirky things that make me think Brussels is sort of okay. For example, my last post about someone requesting that the trees not be used as a garbage can was pretty random. Things like this break up the Brussels monotony. I actually paused and smiled. For past few days, I found stumbled upon these unique birdhouses made of VHS and audio cassette tapes. I stumbled upon this treasure on Rue Troon (Throne Street) right by my apartment. When I first saw the birdhouse, I thought it was very interesting. It seemed sort of random, like someone posting a bumper sticker with a political message and running off. Upon further inspection, I saw a web address. I jotted it down and took a snap shot.
Today as I was walking up Chaussee de Wavre, I saw another one of the birdhouses. I then thought, this can not be very random. When I returned home I went to the website and discovered that there are birdhouses like this all over Brussels. Very cool, I thought. Something fun to look at for. Check out the website http://videohousesquatters.maximalisme.be/
I have yet to see a bird visit these little black houses but it's definitely fun to walk around Brussels and discover the birdhouses.

When shopping for Back To School snacks, sometimes the choices can be overwhelming and quite misleading. It's hard to know whether we're making the right choices or not, and having to second guess our purchases makes the trip to the store take even longer, which a busy mother of three like myself despises. SunRype is making it easy to provide healthy snacks for your kids this Back To School season so you can get in to the store, pick up exactly what you're looking for, and get on with your day.
My kiddos can be pretty picky sometimes, so I wasn't sure how these new snacks would go over with them, but I was so incredibly surprised. Both the SunRype FruitSource + Veggie and SunRype Fruit To Go taste amazing!
Fruit To Go in Apple Strawberry Watermelon was instantly a HUGE hit with the kids, and yes, even myself. This delicious snack is a summery blend of strawberries, apples, and watermelon that you can enjoy any time of year. The juicy strawberries and mouthwatering watermelon combine for a flavor that kids will love…just be prepared for them to ask for more! These thin fruit strips will satisfy your sweet cravings without any added processed sugar…something a mom like me truly appreciates. These vegan, peanut-free, kosher and gluten-free 100% fruit snacks are made with real fruit puree so you and your kids can finally agree on this tasty, portable, on-the-go snack.
Looking for a great way to get more veggies into your little one's diet? The SunRype Fruit Source + Veggie are a great option! Mango and strawberry make a perfect match in this 100% fruit and vegetable snack. Each bar has 2.5 servings of fruit and veggies! Just like the Fruit To Go, they're also made from a real fruit and veggie puree, and are vegan, peanut-free, kosher and gluten-free so you can indulge no matter your dietary needs. Add in being a good source of fiber and potassium and you've got one superhero snack here to save the day.
This year, send your kiddos back to school with snacks that will help fuel their bodies and minds with SunRype. You'll find these tasty snacks available in the produce department at most grocers next to the fruits and vegetables. Make sure you check out all of the snack options that SunRype provides so you can find the ones that are just right for your little ones.

Lately though, we've been incorporating a lot of vegetarian meals into our weekly menu. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, I've found that we save money when we have 1-2 vegetarian meals a week. Beans and tofu and extremely cheap in comparison to meat. Secondly, vegetarian meals tend to be on the "lighter" side which is great for the summer and our appetites!
This all relates to my recipe for the day: Black Bean Burritos. These burritos are a great alternative to ones filled with meat. They have a great flavor from the black beans and green chiles. Very easy to make and very easy to enjoy!
Black Bean Burritos
Inspiration: Black Bean Burrito Bake, Cooking Light, March 2003
1/2 small can diced green chiles
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed, drained and divided
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
4 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup shredded cheese - I used a Mexican blend
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the green chiles and sour cream. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Pour half the black beans into a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash until beans turn into a thick paste. Add in the remaining whole beans, corn and sour cream mixture. Stir until well-combined.
Spoon 1/2 cup bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas; place, seam side down, in an 8x8 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spread salsa over tortillas; sprinkle with cheese.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes - or until heated through.

This Sashimi plot above illustrates use of the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) from the Broad Institute to examine transcript variant expression of TrkB receptor (NTRK2) using RNAseq data from different cell types in the mouse brain. Astrocytes (red), neurons (blue) and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (green).
Viewing the data in this way shows how neurons typically express the long form of TrkB whereas astrocytes and some oligodendrocyte cells express the truncated receptor. Aligned RNAseq data used to generate this image is from the Allen Brain Atlas Cellular taxonomy of the mouse visual cortex. Aligned SAM files of the single-cell RNAseq gene expression data were downloaded from the NCBI SRA data repository.

Magnetrons are widely used as RF power sources because of their high energy conversion efficiency (~75%) at a low price. After the magnetron was invented as radar technology during World War II, mass production and automated manufacturing techniques have established the magnetron in the application area of microwave ovens at home.
Radiated noise from microwave ovens may interfere with several communication systems such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operating at 2.45 GHz as these communication systems occupy the same region of the microwave spectrum (Figure 1). The significant potential for interference from noisy magnetrons forces manufacturers and researchers to look for a solution to prevent EMI issues by reducing heater power, using non homogeneous magnetic fields or by modifying the shape of the pole pieces. In this article a solution via shifting the magnetron frequency (see Figure 1) is shown....
The structure of the cooker magnetron includes a heated filament cathode, multiple resonant cavities with a pair of permanent ceramic ring magnets to force electron beams into helical orbits, and an output antenna as shown in Figure 2.
Analyzing the Interaction Region in CST PARTICLE STUDIO
CST PARTICLE STUDIO (CST PS) can calculate both efficiency and hot frequency of a cooker magnetron. To be more precise, it can predict how much RF output power a cooker magnetron can generate and at which frequency considering a beam loading effect.
Figure 3 shows the time evolution of the electron spokes in the xy-plane of the interaction space obtained by the PIC solver of CST PS. Five spokes are formed azimuthally around the cathode according to the π-mode in a 10 vane resonator. Here, the π-mode is the operating mode.
The generated RF voltage from the interaction between the electron beam and the π-mode field of the resonator is shown in Figure 4. The voltage is evaluated at the top of the interaction space. From this, an output power of 980 W -using the information of the anode current- and a real operating frequency (2.481 GHz) of the magnetron can be predicted. The difference (39 MHz) between CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (Cold simulation) and CST PS (Hot simulation) results from a beam loading effect. The RF power is extracted by means of an antenna, which is connected to the anode. The predicted RF power, 980 W, matches the design value of 1000 W quite well.
Static Calculations in CST EM STUDIO
In order to force the particles to gyrate around the cathode, two ceramic permanent magnets are applied. Both the resulting magnetic field distribution and the absolute field values along an axis (r=2 mm) are shown in Figure 5. Because of the B-field, emitted electrons from the cathode experience a force perpendicular to their instantaneous direction of motion. The B-field maximum from a simulation agrees to the design value of 0.19 Tesla.
Furthermore, the electric potential distribution (isolines) resulting from potentials applied to the metal bodies are shown in Figure 6. This electrostatic field is responsible for the acceleration of the particles towards the anode. In combination with the magnetostatic field it defines the drift velocity of the particles which has to be synchronous to the operating mode.
Temperature and Mechanical Analysis in CST MPHYSICS STUDIO
Since an efficiency of a magnetron is not 100%, cooling is extremely important. In fact, 30 to 50% of energy are converted into heat. The weakest parts are the ceramic magnets because they will lose their magnetism if heated above the Curie temperature. Figure 7 shows the temperature distribution for an efficiency of 42%. The cooling air flow of 1.0 m3/min is considered by the heat transfer coefficient. Also the deformation by the thermal expansion is shown in Figure 7.
RF considerations
Figure 8 shows the resonant mode (π-mode) of a cooker magnetron, where the phase shift of the electric field between neighboring vanes is 180°. The intended use of a microwave oven is to heat food evenly. Therefore, the electric field inside the oven has to be analyzed. In addition, the radiation through the gap between door and microwave oven should be minimal. CST MWS gives the resulting farfield plot and E-field pattern as shown in Figure 9. To ease the simulation, compact models are available for most standard geometries like vents, slots, seams and panels to design a door part.
Comparison to Measurements
A simulation can be a great way to reduce costs, if the simulation is able to replicate measurements. High accuracy and short simulation times can efficiently reduce time to market. CST STUDIO SUITE® shows good results compared to measurements (see Figure 10). The temperature difference in the yoke is due to the contact condition between yoke and heat sink, which is different in measurement and simulation.
The article shows a possible way to solve EMI issue by shifting the frequency of the microwave oven magnetron from 2.45 GHz to 2.48 GHz. Furthermore, it demonstrates the benefit of an integrated design environment. The whole range of solver technologies necessary for such a simulation is available within one GUI: a static solver for magnet and electrode design, transient and eigenmode solver for the resonator analysis, PIC solver for the simulation of charged particle dynamics, thermal solver and mechanical stress analysis for heat sinks. Additional features such as GPU and MPI computing are available for speed up.
