Jminer doesn't alwayes show the "FINISH block" line after scaning the plots
I started to use jminer (v0.4.9) and in some block I don't get the last line with FINISH block , best deadline & round time, even if the block is not a fast one, dose it mean I didn't sent my deadline to the pool?
how can I solve it?
@erangel The FINISH is just a log and shows a summery of the round ... has nothing to do with committing deadlines ... that has been done before. The only reason, why the FINISH is missing, could be, that not all all plots could be read/computed correctly ... try to set 'debug=true' true in jminer.properties to maybe get more info...
@luxe thanks for the quick response.
In the first block I got the "FINISH line" the second I didn't, I tried to close and run it again and still didn't get the line.
is there anything helpful in the log?
@erangel It is due to the NOT confirmed deadline ... if that just happens from time to time simply ignore it ... i currently work to improve the behavior in such cases.
@luxe OK, thank you for the clarification, I thought I had a problem.
and thank you for all your work on the miner.
@erangel just to clarify ... the miner creates a list of all 'partStartNonces' on start mining ... they get removed one after the other if they have been computed ... if the list is empty, the FINISH line is logged. But on not confirmed the effected partStartNonce does not get removed ... thats why there is no FINISH.

An excellent first cruise!
Carnival Sensation Cruise Review to Caribbean - Bahamas
3 Night Bahamas (Port Canaveral Roundtrip)
Sail date: April 30, 2015
Ship: Carnival Sensation
Cabin type: Suite
Cabin number: V27
Traveled as: Couple
Reviewed: 5 years ago
Review summary
This was our very first cruise and we were very pleased with our decision to have had it on the Carnival Sensation. We purchased this 3 night cruise through BJ's Wholesale and decided to purchase the airfare through BJ's as well. Doing so ensures that the airline itinerary matches your cruise departure and gets you where you need to be without any glitches or oversights. Our good experience started at the Orlando International Airport where we were greeted by a Carnival employee who instructed us to the Carnival check in desk. The desk clerk was very patient and thorough with us and explained how things would work throughout the boarding process. We were then met outside by the shuttle bus driver provided by Carnival (operated by Mears) where our belongings were loaded onto the bus for us. We decided to have Carnival transport us, again, because if you buy from them they will ensure your prompt arrival as opposed to getting there yourself and taking a chance at missing the ship. The driver was very professional, courteous, and informative, explaining how things would play out for us once we departed the bus and entered security. We entered security and were processed through very quickly by friendly, efficient, and speedy staff. We had priority booking as we were staying in a suite and were given our keys within 15 minutes. Once processed, we entered the Carnival Sensation. We found this ship to be everything we had hoped it would be. It was VERY clean, spacious, well appointed, and staffed with very professional, friendly, and outgoing people. We ate lunch at the Ledo deck buffet and found the variety of food to be of good quality and good variety. There were American, Mongolian, Italian, and BBQ food stations. salad bars, dessert bars, as well as ice cream stations. The food was plentiful, appealing, and well stocked. The only thing that we disliked about the Ledo buffet were the overbearing servers trying to push you to buy very expensive alcoholic beverages. It is no exaggeration to say we were solicited for alcohol 8-10 times during our 30 minute meal. I felt like telling them to go away and if I wanted alcohol I knew where to find them, but I digressed. We checked into our suite V-27. It was very spacious, clean, modern, and well appointed. The balcony was plenty big and offered two chairs and a small table for drinks or food. The bed was very comfortable , the linens were great, the water had great pressure and the water was very hot. The 24 hour room service was very fast and the food was very good, I may even say it was better quality food than you get in the restaurants. The housekeepers knew your name and worked very hard to keep the place clean. The meals in the Fantasy dining room were very good. The food was of surprisingly good quality and the service was absolutely wonderful. The waiters were very good, attentive and always knew your name. The ship is in good shape, however, some may say it is dated. The hot tubs in the Serenity area were very nice. The adult only rules were enforced. At no time did I see any kids in this area. The onboard entertainment was good. The comedians were pretty funny, the casino was nice, the walking track was a nice option, and the cruise director was entertaining as well. The band Administration was absolutely fantastic! They played outside the casino in Saturday night and were a highlight of our cruise, they were that good. There is plenty to do to stay busy and the options are plentiful. There are jewelry stores, duty free stores, and gift shops on board as well. We were extremely happy with every aspect of the cruise and we would surely seek out Carnival Cruise Lines again. The return shuttle back to the airport was smooth and we had plenty of time to board our plane. I have nothing but good things to say about Carnival. Thanks for the good memories!

I was assigned this cabin and am concerned about the view. How obstructed is the view? Do you have a picture looking out? Feel free to email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am looking forward to the cruise. How noisy is the room, it seems to be near a lot of action. I am going on the cruise with my 11 year old, it appears to be located near the water works. Any info about the room is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the addiction of cruising. I'm glad your first cruise went well and look forward to reviews of your next cruise. A short cruise is the perfect way to get your feet wet and see if you like being on a ship. I like the class o ship that the Sensation is part of. I have been on 3 of her sister ships and like them better then the larger ships.

The Devs are on quiet flights home now, while the players they served are scattered all over the US and elsewhere. The naked tables, without their black cloths, remind you the party is over. And what a party it was. EVE Vegas had 764 players show up from all over the world, mostly from the US, for three official days of EVE fanfaring. Here is a personal odyssey through the ups and downs of EVE Vegas, the closest thing to Fanfest outside of the true Reykjavikian one in the spring.
Las Vegas has all the trappings of a future-city, with lights reaching deep into the sky, obscuring the fouled floors below. Keep your eyes up and walk fast. On the giant streets the lights are so bright they change night into day, but inside the buildings, the false skies above the walking malls are always at dusk or dawn. Casinos don't want you to know the difference between night and day so that time disappears, along with your money.
The convention hall was a long escalator's trip up to a cavernous space with a small crowd milling around registration. The noisy gambling machines below were muffled. I pulled up and got in line behind a generous player that turned and offered me EVE game cards that he's collected. "Take as many as you want." he urged. Another guy had what looked like a Caldari cosplay outfit on, so I complimented him. He informed me that it was not a costume.
Meeting "The Mittani"
Then Dirk MacGirk, a well-known podcaster, writer and personality, offered people in line a shot of Tito's Vodka. I partook. Then Grath, a leading figure in Pandemic Legion, walked up with a few people in tow. Then The Mittani (Mittani) entered the line behind me. Grath and Mittani hugged it out, and Max Singularity (Space Pope) approached, out of costume. Mittani kneeled and kissed his ring as he did at fanfest. My iPhone wasn't fast enough to capture it and someone warned him I was from EVENEWS24 (EN24). Mittani's fast mind and intense manner were on full display.
"Who are you?" Mittani asked.
"Matterall," I offered with a handshake.
"Matterall. I know you. You're the only good writer at EVENEWS," he quipped. "Have you met Sion? You should meet Sion. He's around here."
I laughed out loud at the speed and precision of the cutting remark. All at once, it makes you feel good about yourself and bad about who you work for. Without missing a beat, the next thought is the closer: Sion is his contract carrier. The reference was a signal that there was more business to be done, but not with him. He went back to talking to Grath.
Any notion I had of Mittani being a wordy spokesperson for Sion's agenda went out the window. Mittani is in charge, Sion is the quiet fixer that picks up the chairs his boss knocks over as he whirlwinds through a room.
The compliment was a nice surprise. No one should forget that Mittani is a great writer. His "Sins of a Solar Spymaster" series for TenTonHammer were a reliably good read. If you get a chance look them up, there's a lot of good history there from a direct source, written in a compelling way. He also writes great narratives for his troops at wartime: "..the StainRus are boiling out of their trenches." Who writes like that?!
I'll take the compliment from a guy who's a much better writer than I am, but I reject the idea I'm the only one.
I heard that The Mittani gave Mynxee a big hug when he met her, showing proper respect, so he can't be all bad.
Afraid of Girls
I delayed finding a seat for the keynote, so I sat in the last row. As I stumbled to my chair in the dark, so did the CCP Punkturis, Rise and Ocra. We met in the middle with Punkturis in the seat next to mine. CCP Karkur arrived a moment later, so I gave her my seat and moved over one. Punkturis teased that I moved because I was afraid of being surrounded by girls. I reminded her that I was a reporter and if I sat between them I would eavesdrop and know what CCP was thinking. Karkur countered, "Not if we speak in Icelandic." Good point.
Keynote and the Drunk Puppy
In the middle of the keynote, there was a loud thud behind us. A large Foster's beer had fallen and burst open, fizzing into a puddle. Of the 20 to 30 guys standing back there, no one moved. A very tall and large man was leaning face first into a pillar. The fallen beer soaked into his shoes. CCP Rise (former famed pvper Kil2) leaped over his chair and tapped the big man's shoulder to see if he was okay.
The big man turned around and said, "Kil2! What's up, man?"
Rise (Kil2) walked him all the way back to his room, but, like a puppy, the big man followed Rise all the way back and passed out in the back of the hall.
Meeting Andrew Groen – "Empires of EVE"
Player presenters were asked to meet Saturday morning. Andrew Groen showed us all his book, "Empires of EVE." He was as excited as we were. There wasn't an ounce of cynicism about all the work that went into it. He was especially excited about the war maps and the endpaper (inside-front cover) stellar map that was made to look like an old navigator's map. The quality of the book is on par with anything CCP has put out. This is the true companion to the "EVE Source" book. Get it when it comes out, which will be soon.
Devs Are People, Too
Devs are like flowers to a colony of player-bees during pollination season. There was always someone landing on them, yet they never closed up or shut anyone out. Players naturally gravitated to Devs because they have an "in" with them: Talk about EVE. It's natural to gravitate toward a Dev when you are in a room full of strangers, but you have to wonder how much Devs endure the repetition. Magically, when Devs change out of the official black CCP shirts, they become human again, and the EVE talk goes away. We must have been talking EVE to the CCP shirt, not to the person. Maybe they can see that as well.
Devs are people, too, and distinct from each other, even in their approach to their job. CCP Rise was tuned way into to EVE, and way out of meta politics. Nullarbor has the listening capacity of a Christ-figure, willing to discuss mechanics as the cleaning crew is sweeping up. Falcon is edgy, but true to his appearance (purple Mohawk), which is perfect, because even as a player he represented old EVE: a barrel-to-your-head pirate that honors his ransoms.
I asked Falcon about his days as leader of Veto (notorious pirate corp), since ransoms seem to be out of style. He said they always honored their ransoms and only once did a member test him on that. That member was executed, stripped of his wealth (billions, when that meant something) and cast out. Falcon was never tested on honorable ransoms again.
Women CEOs, Best CEOs
My personal highlight was spending time with Mynxee, who called me over as if I was a puppy, and as it turns out, I was about as happy as a puppy when I found out who she was. She gave me a Signal Cartel sticker, which I immediately put on my chest, minutes before I stepped up to present.
My presentation was on EVE's "Illuminati," but really it was the Brave coup story [link]. The presentation was recorded here [24:00]. CCP Manifest blessed me with a great speaking time: main stage, no other activities. Also, I was the warmup act for Nullarbor's big Structures presentation. That gave me about 10 minutes with everyone in the room to pound through the lists of meta spy powers Illuminati have. When it was over, I sat near Karkur who said, "That was scary."
I flubbed the beginning and defaulted to the bad habit of self-depricating humor. I was supposed to thank my NC corp DICE and LadyScarlet in particular, as well as my other CEO Mynxee of Signal Cartel. The two well-known female CEOs were to prompt my assertion: "Women CEOs, Best CEOs."
In my preconceived visions of how the presentation would go, I pictured the portrait of Istvaan Shogaatsu of Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC) getting a strong response. That didn't happen because very few recognized the old portrait and some didn't even know who the GHSC were. A reminder that not everyone has the same reference points in EVE as I do. EVE history is generational, and that means I have plenty of stories to tell to new audiences.
Secret Agent
Mynxee caught me on the way out and generously invited me to dinner with her group. She was the fifth CSM's chairperson and is now, since spring, out from under NDA. I had a million questions, but she didn't divulge anything worth reporting; however, the guy next to her seemed to know way more about the CCP than the usual EVE player. At the end of dinner he introduced himself as Nozy Gamer, the blogger that even CCP reads. Nice man, good writer and incredible researcher.
The Braves
Dunk Dinkle (from Brave) approached me and handed me a Brave patch, saying, "Someday I'll tell you what really happened." Which, to a journalist, is like a slap in the face with a white glove. Except I'm a pretend journalist, so that would be a pretend slap with a pretend glove. No offense taken.
Later that night at the party, we met up again and he took me to Nancy Crow (current Brave leader), who had a few Brave guys with him:
"I don't like that story, man," he said with a big smile and handshake.
"I know, few Braves do," I replied. "What's inaccurate about it?"
"It was Lquid and Anna (diplomats) that did the coup. Toasty (Illuminati) had little to do with it," he said.
"That's funny," I responded. "I had Toasty, Lquid and Anna on the same conference call and they told me that it was Toasty who convinced 10 CEOs while Anna did three (for voting the Brave leader out)."
I also had Lychton (ex-Brave leader) review the whole story to remove any inaccuracies before it was published.
Nancy hurried off, not because he didn't want to argue, but becasue he noticed Mangala Solaris (leader of RvB) in the crowd and wanted to get over to him. RvB had just ceased operations. That meant a great recruiting opportunity for Brave leaders. That's what a good Executor does, holds his alliance together and builds them up.
One of the Brave members that stayed behind told me they were a little down because fleets were only 20 to 30 pilots. Even for a 2,000 person alliance, which Brave now is, those numbers are too low. I told them EN24 could help by publishing more battle reports from Faction War now that Brave is fighting there. Visibility helps recruitment, and any news site can offer some help in that area.
Once in Your Life
The party was attended by 645 EVE players that mixed together to create numerous little scenes. It was a people-watchers paradise, but while I was scanning all the faces, some of them were scanning me. The paranoia of my presentation didn't help. I knew Dunk Dinkle had been handing Brave pocket knives all day. As the night wore on, some of those faces approached me and they could not have been friendlier. I got hugs, pats on the back, introductions to their friends and drinks handed to me.
There's nothing better than creating something original that connects with someone else. Everyone should feel that at least once in their life. The Devs must feel that every time they appear at a player gathering.
I very much enjoyed talking with Phyridean (Hydrostatic Podcast), Nozy Gamer (blogger) and Dreydan (The Open Comms Show), among many others. Lanctharus Onzo (Cap Stable Podcast) and I talked in Spanish about doing a podcast in Spanish with the guys from "EVE En Espanol."
The Mysterious Seagull
By the end of the last day, the place was winding down, but I was still around waiting out the clock. Las Vegas to Los Angeles traffic on Sunday night is brutal, and I wanted no part of it. As the conference pond got smaller the CCP fish became easier to trap. There was Executive Producer CCP Seagull, who was always on the move, now floating around the room with less urgency than before.
Her demeanor comes from the same well as her egoless approach to EVE. She approaches people cautiously and warmly smiles past her thin glasses, bestowing the feeling that she's just put something special in your coat pocket before she floats away again.
So standing there with my laptop bag, Seagull fell into my extended personal space while holding decals (stickers). I glanced at them and she smiled and peeled off a Caldari sticker, so I grabbed my iPad and offered it to her. She placed the sticker on the iPad and smiled again. I don't think any words were exchanged, but the communication couldn't have been clearer: CCP loves their player base.
It was just another small act of kindness, but it capped the whole experience for me, and now I could leave on a high note.
But this was not the end.
Last Dance with the Devil in Red
As I made my way out, there in front of me was Mittani talking with Kira Tsukimoto and Dirk MacGirk, two people I knew as well. I had one last chance to ask him about something he said in an interview about the responsibilities of leadership, and I was feeling good. It was a genuine question from one person to another, but in this environment he wasn't just another guy, he was TheMittani.com (TMC) and I was EVENEWS24.com (EN24). We were rivals.
So he dressed me down for several minutes. Kira slinked away, so did Dirk. I understood the mistake right away, but I figured at some point he'd relent and I could explain that it was more of a personal question.
He didn't relent. Mittani is relentless, if nothing else. That is evidenced by his ingame accomplishments and position today as the eminent personality in EVE, above even Chribba. At that moment I had plenty of time to think since I wasn't able to say much. I saw flashes of good and evil, with Chribba, the old school "most helpful" bro dressed in white, contrasting with Mittani, dressed in a dark suit over his signature deep red shirt, cutting me to pieces with his laser-beam eyes. His hand gestures alternated between stabbing and dismissive. "Are these the angels and devils of EVE?" I thought. It did, after all, feel like I was being impaled by Mittani's words about EN24, aimed, in particular, at its founder Riverini.
The thing of it is I didn't disagree with Mittani. I know Riverini's capable of making terrible choices, and I disagree without about 90 percent of what he says and does, but Riv doesn't say much and is never around. His EN24 is long gone. Bobmon runs the show now and even he is not around all that much (he's running for CSM, by the way). His job is to pull in sponsorships and pay the staff, and he does that without fail. EN24 is really run by senior writers like Amymuffmuff or Tiberius, with Bobmon stepping in when needed. So if there is a good change in EN24, those are the guys to thank. I waited for a chance to say that, but it never materialized. The Mittani was done talking and moved on to finish other conversations before he disappeared.
Meeting the Mittani on a human level was an abject failure, and I knew better. I worked in feature-film production for 10 years before becoming an art director for the film industry, and in that time I'd been a second-assistant director. That position is tasked with moving actors around and getting them to the set on time. I knew better than to try to get to know them at the wrong time, and this reminded me of those days.
After talking with one last Dev it was time to face traffic. I walked out to the cavernous mezzanine and was happy to see Mittani walking in my direction, alone. At least I could end with a hand shake. He could have waved me off but he stopped and we talked again. Actually he talked again, picking up where he left off. It didn't help that I was in Nulli and NC, too. That gave him a whole set of new territory to cover, stretching all the way back to the great wars (buy Andrew's book to find out more).
It struck me that he wasn't showboating earlier, that rant was him. As passionate about defending his Goons as Bono is feeding the hungry, but this time I did interject that I didn't represent Riverini, and if anything I worked for Bobmon, who he seems to be okay with. So there it was, we talked a while there in a giant vacant space, our voices echoing off the walls. We weren't equals and this wasn't an interview.
The Mittani not only runs the largest coalition in the game, but runs a thriving business that is timed perfectly. Streaming and gaming content is hot right now and will get hotter as gaming enters 3-D. He uniquely has leveraged power and wealth out of the EVE where so many RMTers and gambling sites failed, because they foolishly focused on changing ISK for money, instead of people for influence.
His company is now partnering with CCP to write books and they streamed EVE Vegas for free. TheMittani.com is fused to his personhood, his celebrity. So as the brand grows, so does the pressure on this one person. No one else can take his place. He's trapped in that red shirt.
My original question to him was about the burden of leadership, and he's uniquely positioned to answer it on multiple levels. Instead of answering it, he offered to show me the perks and we set off for the TMC suite high up in the hotel tower.
In the Tower
The TMC crew was finishing interviews so we walked through to the second room to talk in private on many subjects, none having to do with EVE. After about 30 minutes, Sion retuned and was surprised to see me there. They had finished up filming so we joined them out there. I finally met Markonius (leader of Karma Fleet), who was a nice guy as expected.
So there I sat, an EN24 reporter from NC, in the middle of the inner sanctum of the Imperium: their infamous party room from the night before that hosted a who's-who of EVE. Watching the TMC guys gear down equipment and gear up for a night out with their chief, Mittani. Or as I saw it, David sitting in a room with Mark1 and Mark2, while Alex made arrangements to take his guys out for the night after a ton of work on behalf of EVE players.
Meta EVE is indeed a strange place. I've never been more convinced that it is the real game, and the spaceships are the window dressing.
At home the next morning I woke up with a sleep deprivation hang over. I may not drink much but I burn a good amount of midnight oil. Reflections on the trip are still vague glimpses of moments that quickly roll out of reach, like water hitting saturated soil.
I'm not even sure that it all happened, but it felt real.
The End
PS – I met a lot of people and didn't get names but thanks to everyone that made EVE Vegas fun and interesting.To the people I spent the most time with, that's all personal and stays with me. You know who you are. Thanks for hanging out.
Public Thanks to (yearbook time):
Mark 726, Phyridean, Ash and Lockefox (Hydrostatic)
Sion and The Mittani for giving me as much time as they did. Laz and Markonius are very cool bros if you get a chance to meet them, do it. TMC guys deserve thanks for stepping in and streaming.
Shadow and Light, J Mcclain (Best of Us channel) and EOC.VT for putting up cameras in 4 hours and covering everything.
Johnny Splunk (Signal Cartel), Zoe Schereau and the others at Signal Cartel. Nice group.
Kira, Bam Stoker and all the people from far away taht made the long trip. WOw.
Special thanks to the DEVS that made everyone feel at home. It was very much appreciated. "o7" to Quant, Orca, T0rfi, Karkur…. so many nice Devs…

The humble khichdi might have achieved celebrity status in the past couple of days, thanks to record-breaking efforts at the World Food India event, where 918 kg of the dish was cooked and served on Saturday after spicy virtual tadka on Twitter and some actual one from Baba Ramdev, but there is much more to celebrate at the Food Street, a showcase of diverse Indian food at the expo.
The humble khichdi might have achieved celebrity status in the past couple of days, thanks to record-breaking efforts at the World Food India event, where 918 kg of the dish was cooked and served on Saturday after spicy virtual tadka on Twitter and some actual one from Baba Ramdev, but there is much more to celebrate at the Food Street, a showcase of diverse Indian food at the expo.
A huge focus is on ancient grains. As Sanjeev Kapoor, who has curated the entire concept of the Food Street, tells us, that while the whole world talks of superfoods and things like quinoa, we in India don't have to look elsewhere, but revive the use of amaranth, jowar, bajra, nachini and their ilk, which are high on the nutrition scale. And they need not be boring. A hummus-like chickpea paste with south-Indian millet salad on top with some black rice papad and a dash of flavoured sesame oil was a dish at the event that could rival any exotic quinoa-olive oil concoction.
Bael candy or neem and saunf sherbet anyone? No need to wrinkle your nose at the thought, because the beverage being served is sweet, light and very delicately flavoured. Mahua fruit, which most city dwellers might be unaware of, combines beautifully with Karonda for a murabba that is tangy, sweet and delicious, besides promising to be a cure for insomnia. Move on, and find coconut in its myriad forms, from the simple coconut water to prawn coconut curry and sol kadi. The pedestrian peanut takes an exotic form by just boiling it in salted water. Fresh, moist and delicious!
If you thought rice was common, try the Gobindo Bhog, the Ambe Mohar, red rice, black rice, the meetha chawal, poha, Komal rice, the biryani, the north-east wild rice…
Milk, which is available in plenty in the country, finds expression in the various mithai at the very popular sweet stall, but has unexpected potential in things like smoked chaas, which welcomes guests at the Punjab kiosk. Anyone who lusts after a blueberry tart needs to taste the perfect consonance of Indianness in a phirnee with jamun glaze, served in an earthen bowl. Sweet, Indian, earthy and just beautiful.
So what was the idea behind the Food Street? "The brief was to create an experience zone because exhibitions can be very dry. So, we tried to bring in energy through food, and also see how we can integrate all the goodness that we have in India with the event. The idea developed from there," says Kapoor.
Several star chefs, from Imtiaz Qureshi to Vineet Bhatia, are at the venue, doing live demonstrations and participating in discussions, which, Kapoor adds, are aimed at elevating the event beyond mere tasting and experiencing food. "We are using their knowledge and showcasing it here, so there is also learning," he says.
He then comes to how khichdi came into the picture. "I thought of doing something that would not be repetitive, something unique, big, like a Guinness record. They asked me how and I said I'll think of something, and we zeroed in on the khichdi. But the idea was just to represent food that is homely and simple and not a restaurant-like dish like naan and butter chicken, which is never cooked in anybody's home."
Brushing aside the controversy around the khichdi, what he's more concerned about is the expo becoming a calender event. "India deserves something of this scale. I will surely push for it to become a regular affair," he adds.

Facebook and Instagram have banned Minister Louis Farrakhan from it's platforms.
After years of pressure to crack down on hate and bigotry, Facebook has chosen to ban Farrakhan along with right-wing personalities Paul Nehlen, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer and others who they have labeled "dangerous individuals and organizations."
Farrakhan's Facebook page was deleted and all of its content purged from the social media giant's servers, along with the social media pages of his religious organization. The bans apply to both Facebook's main service and to Instagram and extend to fan pages and other related accounts.

Shocking new details are emerging surrounding the case of Jasmine Eiland, the woman who reportedly streamed her own assault LIVE on Facebook.
[READ: Atlanta Police Investigating Alleged Rape at Opera Nightclub Captured on Facebook Live… (VIDEO)]
L. Chris Stewart, the attorney hired to conduct an independent investigation on the matter recently updated people about his client's mental state, stating:
#jasmineeiland is alive, despite the rumors. She will get through this. How some people can harass a woman whom they watch get assaulted on video is mind boggling. But that?s between them and God. We will get justice.
Meanwhile, another woman has comes forward with a similar experience about Dominique Williams, the man who allegedly violated Eiland at the Atlanta area nightclub.

A Level Text in GIS
With the inclusion of GIS in the A-level syllabus it wasn't going to be long before a textbook arrived on the market and low and behold the Geographical Association have the imaginatively named GIS for A-level geography listed (and earlier noted by Steven Feldman). It isn't published yet and doesn't show up on Amazon, but is obviously "in the wings". The Table of Contents seem standard fare, but perhaps the most interesting thing is that it is produced in collaboration with ESRI and comes with a (UK) licensed version of ArcView 9.2. This is a very clever tie up and is similar to Microsoft's "hearts and minds" approach to virtually giving away Office to students. If people are trained at school (for free) then businesses often follow suit. Of course it remains to be asked where Cadcorp and MapInfo, amongst others, are in this brave new world. Indeed it would be nice to see people from the open source community help deliver something. With QGIS reaching version 1 status I think it would be an ideal candidate. Time will tell.
SSTL technology
A nice article this week at the BBC on the continuing development of low cost technology from Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, the high tech, low cost, British satellite development company that is now owned by EADS Astrium. Current sights are set on the high spatial resolution (<1m) sector which has been largely "owned" by US commercial companies. SSTL reckons that they can develop a satellite at ~0.6m resolution for ~$70M, rather than the ~$500 it normally takes. This would reduce the unit cost from $20km2 to $0.15km2. That would really shake up the market!
The satellite coverage of the US presidential inauguration was interesting, but with US regulators restricting resolution to 0.5m, GeoEye wasn't able to offer the full 0.41m resolution. Clearly there is the potential to compete by offering higher resolutions which US companies can't offer. It will be interesting to see whether these restrictions are relaxed.
Keyboard PC
With the phenomenal success of the netbook form factor (and, not least, the price!) Asus are clearly trying to capitalise on their market success by diversifying the basic idea in to new form factors. A "desktop" netbook has already be released integrating the hardware in an LCD screen. Well now comes the Eee Keyboard, a standard size keyboard with, yes, a netbook built in. It does come with a 5" screen on the side and runs Windows XP. Perhaps the neatest aspect is the wireless HDMI interface, designed so that it can display direct to your TV. It'll be interesting to see how variable netbooks come become.
Credit crunch calls for a logo change
With the "credit crunch" (what an awful phrase, but it's not new!) biting hard, many companies are finding the process of readjustment painful. So what better time for rebranding than now. Take a look at these great logos to see how some companies could respond.
Palm webOS
Palm appear to have been wowing the crowds at CES this year with no sign of the downturn at all! Before Christmas Palm announced that an invitation only event, which was hotly thought to be an announcement about their new operating system. And that is exactly what was announced, along with a new smartphone the Pre. PCPro have a nice article on the announcement and even think its the top story of the show. The piece de resistance would have been to make a new phone immediately available, but thats not the case with "first half 2009" the only indication. And thats for the US. However it will be a GSM phone with tilt sensor, GPS, 3G and wifi, touch interface and, hopefully, the ability to run Palm apps (although it wasn't mentioned). No sign (or likelihood) of a PDA version; I suspect that form factor is now dead. Phones are what people want and the level of integration is now worthwhile. Roll on full product release.

Homeowner Client Reviews
Milton Construction Company recently renovated our entire 100 year old farmhouse…this was a lengthy process which they made as painless as possible. The remodel was completed on budget and on time. Everyone (including subcontractors) were very friendly, professional, and did excellent work. We highly recommend Milton Construction Company for any construction needs.
Wally and Pam Layne
Phenix, VA
Todd and his crew totally remodeled our kitchen and did an awesome job! From start to finish they were very up front with us about cost and time. We made some changes along the way and these were always handled in a professional manner. The workers were always kind and very professional and were always willing to listen to our needs and suggestions. We were very happy with the work and we love our new kitchen! Todd was also very helpful in picking out cabinets, counters, flooring, and appliances. We would whole-heartedly recommend Milton Construction and plan to use them again!!
Mark Landy
Appomattox, VA
I needed a structural repair to my 50 plus year old home. I wanted someone who would do the job properly and professionally and would come every day until the job was complete. Milton and company offered that and delivered that. They were in my house daily for three weeks and I got to know them, trust them, and was pleased at how neat, detailed, and knowledgeable they were in the whole process. They were respectful and honest and got my house back into shape. I am quite pleased and highly recommend them. Thank you all!

Darlington Heights, VA
To begin, I had complete trust in Milton Construction Company, not knowing Todd, but from his Dad's reputation as a builder. His estimate seemed fair so we got no others (that's trust!). They completely gutted two connecting baths, flipping them to give us more room in our master bath. Also, they put up a new ceiling in our downstairs family room. We stayed with our children during the renovation but I had no qualms with turning our keys over to Todd or the crew. He was always available for my questions and comments. The crew was so good about coming up with solutions and making suggestions. I thank them all.

When we decided to remodel a bathroom to make it handicap accessible, Milton Construction was highly recommended to us. They did a great job, and we are very pleased. The work was done in a timely manner, and all the workers were courteous and efficient.

Appomattox, VA
I am writing this letter to thank you for the excellent work you did on our home. From the first time I talked to Todd and explained the work we wanted done, I knew I had called the right company. We had Milton remove all the existing wood siding and they replaced it with Hardie Plank beaded Cedarmill siding. The facia, corners, rake board and frieze board were replaced with MiraTec composite trim. Windows, gutters, and shutters were replaced as well as the front porch columns and ceiling.
MiraTec louvers with vinyl screening were custom-made at their shop and replaced. The sunroom old windows and storm doors were removed and the room was re-framed and new double-hung windows and new storm doors were installed. Todd and his team (Domenic, Cory and Tom) did an excellent job at our home…very professional, kept us informed about every step of the process and left the job site in excellent condition. We would highly recommend Milton Construction Co. to anyone. We were very well pleased.
Calvin and Roseanne
Spout Spring, VA
The living room had no lighting available other than lamps. Todd and his team created a new ceiling, complete with four recessed lights and a ceiling fan with a lighting feature. As an added luxury, Todd and his team wired for surround sound while the ceiling was under construction. This allowed for a seamless and professional look when it came time for his team to install the surround sound. Once a plain and boring fireplace, Todd and his team used stacked stone to add new life! Additional features of this project included beautiful custom built-in cabinets and shelving, as well as hidden electrical outlets and speaker wires.
Lynchburg, VA
I wanted a hall bathroom made into a half-bath and a full bathroom added in the master bedroom. The crew did a great job cleaning up each day. They were very courteous and listened to any concerns I had. They did a fantastic job and I am very pleased and happy with their work and how the job turned out.
Appomattox, VA
We would like to thank you and your organization for the services you provided during the reconstruction work on our boat house and dock following the flash flood damages in 2016. We appreciate your professionalism, quality-oriented work ethic, timeliness and cost-effective methods you designed to give us our lake back. You came to us highly recommended by a trusted friend…we would highly recommend you as well. We are delighted with the outcome of your work. We can confirm that your company will be our first choice if we need construction services in the future.

Many thanks to the Milton Construction crew who turned our outdated bathroom into a gorgeous new bathroom in our house. They were great to work with, exceeded our expectations for outcome, and communicated with us every step of the way. We will be calling them again.

Appomattox, VA
When we first met with Todd and Ken of Milton Construction, we knew right away they were the builders for us. They could have not been any more helpful to us than they were. We were living 900 miles away from the property we were building our retirement home on. We knew there were going to be obstacles to overcome living so far and not being able to see progress and oversee the building. But, we needed not worry, Todd was always in contact with us via e-mails and phone. Any questions or changes he understood and made happen. Milton Construction went the extra mile to make us happy.
We never felt we had to question anything done to our home. They delivered on their promises and we are happy to report that the house was ready on time for us to move in. They worked through snow and any other condition that presented it self. The quality of their construction is flawless and professional. They use the best materials and qualified workers. We can't say enough good about Milton Construction. Even after we moved in they are fine-tuning a few things in a timely manner. Thank you for making my dream house come to life. I look forward to living here a long long time.

Four years ago when we moved to Appomattox from out of state and looked at several houses we chose this one that was built by Milton Construction. In dealing with them we found that everything was done very professionally and to our liking. The house was very well constructed and we were very happy with the finished product. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

During the spring of 2015, Todd Milton and his incredibly talented crew renovated our existing home to make it more handicapped accessible and attractive. They completely gutted two bathrooms. One bathroom was made larger and updated with a beautiful shower unit that you simply step into. It has a seat and handrail that has the restoration hardware look. The other bathroom was updated with the same beautiful unit and fixtures. They also remodeled two small bedrooms on the main level and made one large bedroom, with an awesome walk-in closet (with shelves and cubbies)!
They reworked two existing windows and added window seats with storage units under the seats. New light fixtures were added, hardwood floors refinished, and fresh paint applied. We love the finished project and continue to enjoy our new living space so much! During the project I could not have asked for better people to work with…they were polite, respectful and so very helpful when making decisions. Each day they left the work area as neat as possible…I was amazed and thankful because we lived in our home during the renovation! If you need work done on your home, I can confidently recommend Todd Milton and his crew! We are very happy clients!

Milton Construction Company did a great job constructing my addition this spring. It consisted of a room with basement extension, a deck, and a patio. The roof is joined to the existing house, and the brick, paint, and shingles are exactly matched to it. The hardwood floor in the new room was stained to exactly match the existing floor it seamlessly connected with. Even the basement extension matches the existing construction of the house. The addition looks like it was part of the existing house, which was our intent. When we first discussed the project, I didn't have an exact idea of what I wanted.
Milton Construction Company helped us design the addition and my wife and I are very grateful for their help in selecting the design and materials to ensure a great outcome. All the work is first-class, and I was particularly impressed with their framing and masonry work. We agreed on a contract price before construction started, and they stuck with the original price. Their management and staff are very professional, and my wife and I are happy to recommend them for your project!
Forest, VA
When my husband and I sold our house on the Virginia Peninsula we had exactly 29 days to find another house in Appomattox. Our realtor brought us to Todd. Not only did he have the house ready on time, but two days early. What a wonderful experience we had in purchasing this home. The home is perfect for us and we have enjoyed every moment of living in it. We had a small problem in the basement, which was taken care of and no "I'll get there tomorrow kind of thing". Todd is a very mild mannered young Christian man and a joy to be around. At the ages of 71 and 69 we hope to never move again, but if we had to do so, Todd would be the man. Thank you, Todd, for such a wonderful home and buying experience.
Appomattox, VA
Milton Construction installed footings, framing, exterior doors, windows, finish woodwork & deck on a home I built in Appomattox. They did an outstanding job, in a timely manner, and I would recommend them and plan to use them on any work I may have in the future.
Appomattox, VA
When deciding to completely renovate a master bath and interviewing several contractors, a friend suggested Todd Milton of Milton Construction. When we met to discuss the renovation, I was immediately impressed by his professionalism and knew we could work well together. We signed a very complete contract laying out exactly what would be done, who was responsible for what and at what point payments would be due. I chose to have a floor to ceiling ceramic tile shower with a glass partition and a river rock shower floor. All new vanity with double sinks and mirror storage cabinets.
The crowning touch was a heated ceramic tile floor throughout. It is all very beautiful and luxurious. Everything I asked for was done in a meticulous manner and with as little disruption as possible to other parts of the house. I can highly recommend Todd Milton, his employees and Milton Construction to perform in a careful and professional manner any project contracted for.
Forest, VA
I researched construction companies in the central Virginia area, and selected Milton Construction because of their proven professionalism and verified work successes. I can say honestly, it is beautiful beyond all my dreams.

The full version of Sharon's review can be found on a dedicated project page for a custom home builder here.
Milton Construction Company completed a renovation of the third floor of the Bank's Main Office. They did an outstanding job and were very easy to work with during the renovation process. Their workmanship was of an excellent quality and their team was very helpful and professional. I can without hesitation give Milton Construction the highest of recommendations.

The first time I met Christian Omodeo was two years ago, when Italian street artist Blu removed all of his murals from the walls in Bologna, ahead of a street art exhibition which he curated. In 2017, he was in charge of the film screenings at Urban Art Fair in Paris, where he is also present this year with his book store.
In fact, if you're ever in the French capital, make sure you stop by Le Grand Jeu, as they have finally opened a physical space after being present online for more than five years. It is an incredible place, created with love by a man who has been a passionate book collector for a long time. But the truth is that Christian Omodeo is much more than that - a former teacher, he is also a producer of events and even films, always resourceful and a pleasure to talk to.
To confirm this fact there are numerous happenings and projects he will be a part of in the next few months that he's listed for me towards the end of our chat at UAF Paris - quickly yet efficiently, because he's busy talking to the many visitors of his booth. Among them? A list of videos of street artists in conversation with the Louvre, a movie which premieres at Tribeca soon and a street art festival in Italy opening next weekend.

"BEING a mom keeps me busy as I'm very hands on and at the same time, I enjoy spending time with my little boy, India. My five-year old keeps me entertained for sure," said 41-year-old Nikki Serrano-Honasan.
Her yoga practice keeps her occupied as well. She starts each day on the mat, whether it's ten minutes or two hours. Yoga & meditation keep her anchored wherever she is. This sets the tone & energy of the day as she goes about her mommy & teacher duties.
With Christmas around the corner, Holiday decorating and gift shopping adds up to the must-do list.
"Growing up my siblings and cousins would all spend it in our lola's house in the province, gathered around the table for Noche Buena followed by the much awaited part of the evening, the gift giving. Now living in Boracay with a small family of my own, I find myself carrying this tradition with me while sharing it with her island family. We have Noche Buena and open gifts together." shared Nikki.
As for decorating, Nikki's home is quite open to the outdoors that she finds a little is all it needs. She has all these individual Christmas trees, handmade wooden & metallic ones, which she's very fond of. She starts placing them around the house in the beginning of December.
Shopping can be a challenge when you live in an island and little access to shopping areas. So when does she make her Christmas list and shop for gifts? She said when inspiration hits her. It could be as early as September or as late as December.
"I have family, friends on the island, plus my travel buddies who happen to be my closest friends from college on my gift list. I like giving them handmade gifts, as well as personally curated presents like a picnic basket with all the essentials included, from food to a picnic blanket."
Having a theme helps her narrow everything down. She believes one can never go wrong with a "food showcase". Food is the wisest gift to give. It's practical and leaves zero waste. But she makes sure it fits the recipient's preference.
"I shop at Marks & Spencer for clothes, but I never forget to stop by the food section to pick up my favorite bites and hunt for new wines to taste. During the holiday season, this is where I go to select food and wine items to give as gifts. More often, they have my themed choices in a Christmas hamper."
Here are five of Nikki's Christmas shopping tips:
1. Keep it personal. Remembering random tidbits about the person & incorporating that in your gift adds a special touch. A coffee person will always love everything about coffee, chocolates for chocolate lovers, to mention a couple. M&S has Coffee Lovers' Surprise, Chocolate Indulgence and Tea-Time Treats even a breakfast-themed Sunrise Bliss packed for you.
2. Instead of buying Christmas wrappers & bags, use what you already have at home & get creative! Or choose food presents in decorative hampers. They will find a use for a nice hamper. The M&S gold basket this year is quite elegant.
3. Whenever you can, support local makers & artisans. They make some of the most unique gifts. I wrap my food hampers with inabel blankets, which can also give the present an element of surprise. This way they get to enjoy two gifts, both they can take to a picnic.
4. Hit the bookstore ~ cookbooks and other books make great presents. Example, I incorporate a cookbook with an Italian selection. Pointers on new ways to cook pasta will always excite any home chef. Plus, the red wine is always great company while cooking and dining.
5. Sometimes the best gifts aren't material things, but experiences. Tickets to the museum, a yoga class, or a macramè workshop are sure to be appreciated. Shopping is an experience too, if not an art. Besides everybody needs retail therapy. A gift card from their favorite store can always excite, and if it's from M&S, they get to choose their preferred apparel or fill their basket with the Christmas foodstuff they want to indulge on.

Your brain can be benefited by dealing with your loss of hearing. At least, that's according to a new study from a University of Manchester study group. These researchers looked at a group of more than 2000 individuals over a time period of approximately twenty years (1996 to 2014). The attention-getting conclusions? Dealing with your loss of hearing can slow dementia by up to 75%.
That is not an insignificant figure.
But still, it's not really all that unexpected. The importance of the finding, of course, is still useful, that kind of statistical connection between hearing loss treatment and the battle against dementia is important and stunning. But the insight we already have aligns well with these findings: as you age, it's crucial to treat your loss of hearing if you want to delay dementia.
What Does This Research on Dementia Mean For me?
You can't always believe the information provided in scientific studies because it can commonly be inconsistent. The causes for that are long, varied, and not all that relevant to our topic here. Because here's the main point: yet further proof, this research reveals untreated hearing loss can lead to or worsen cognitive decline including dementia.
So for you personally, what does this imply? It's simple in several ways: if you've observed any potential indications of hearing loss, come see us in the near future. And you really should begin wearing that hearing aid as directed if you find out you need one.
Hearing Aids Assist in Preventing Dementia When You Wear Them Regularly
Unfortunately, not everybody falls right into the habit of using a prescribed pair of hearing aids. Some of the reasons why are:
- How hearing aids look worries you. These days, we have lots of variations available which may amaze you. In addition, many hearing aid models are manufactured to be very discreet.
- The hearing aid doesn't feel like it works as advertised. Many people need to have their settings adjusted, and calibration problems are definitely something that can be addressed by our hearing specialists.
- The hearing aid doesn't feel like it fits properly. If you are experiencing this issue, please let us know. We can help make it fit better.
- Peoples voices are difficult to understand. Your brain doesn't always instantly adapt to hearing voices. We can recommend things to do to help make this endeavor go more smoothly, such as reading along with an audiobook.
Clearly wearing your hearing aids is essential to your health and future mental faculties. If you're struggling with any of the above, get in touch with us for an adjustment. Working with your hearing expert to make sure your hearing aids are working for you is just part of the process and it demands time and patience.
It's more significant than ever to deal with your hearing loss specifically taking into consideration the new findings. Be serious about the treatment because hearing aids are protecting your hearing and your mental health.
What's The Link Between Dementia And Hearing Aids?
So why are these two problems dementia and loss of hearing even associated to begin with? Social isolation is the leading theory but experts are not 100% certain. Some people, when dealing with loss of hearing, become less socially involved. Sensory stimulation is the basis of another theory. Over the years, if a person loses sensory stimulation, such as hearing loss, the brain receives less activity which then causes cognitive decline.
Your hearing aid helps you hear better. And that can help keep your brain active, offering a more robust natural safeguard against dementia and cognitive decline. That's why a relationship between the two shouldn't be unexpected and why hearing loss treatments can slow dementia by up to 75%.

M.Tech, B.Tech Diploma Engineering courses in India
Engineering education in India is being provided at different levels. From fresher to those having a technical diploma in a relevant field anyone can enroll to entry level course and get proper training thereafter. B Tech for diploma holders allows seekers lateral entry to the program whereas, for fresher the process gets bit tougher and they need to write entrance examination before seeking a seat in a college of international repute.

Shuttercraft: Matt Blewett
Matt is 'covering' Gloucestershire!
Matt Blewett owns the Shuttercraft franchise in Gloucestershire and offers a regional service installing high quality window shutters and blinds. As part of the shuttercraft franchise network Matt benefits from the support of the largest distributor of shutters in the
Matt has been trading since January 2012 and exceeded our financial projections by hitting his year 1 revenue target at month 9! With his second year of trading firmly under way, Matt is seeing the repeat and recommendation business really come through and is already showing signs of another outstanding year.
Shuttercraft signed Matt up to Checkatrade as part of the overall marketing plan too.
"From the outset Shuttercraft made me feel like a member of the franchise team, giving me the confidence in both the product and the operations, and have helped me to launch a professional service within my franchise territory of Gloucestershire.
My regional website shuttercraft-gloucestershire.co.uk was up and running almost immediately I arrived at my induction as Matt Blewett and left as shuttercraft Gloucestershire, with a fully sign written van, branded clothing, Blackberry and stationery, as well as all the professional sales tools I could possibly need.
My website ranks No1 on Google for 'shutters Gloucestershire', 'shutters Cheltenham', and 'shutters Gloucester' and I am delighted with the quality of the leads coming in. I have a monthly meeting with the Shuttercraft marketing team where we revise the strategy after measuring the effectiveness of our current activities. I enjoy the meetings, they are friendly and informal but very effective.
My account manager has helped me develop the territory by finding partners to display the shutters and generate more leads. It's obviously my hard work but having a guiding hand makes all the difference.
I would never have believed that after just nine months I would be smashing my targets. The Shuttercraft team is fantastic; my family and I feel incredibly positive about the future. All that hard work is paying off - it's a great feeling."
Based in
Shuttercraft Gloucestershire retails only the highest quality products and work closely with the S:CRAFT brand of made-to-measure shutters and wood slat venetian blinds, to ensure a fully up-to-date range of products and colours is always available.
As a shuttercraft franchise owner your role is to effectively manage the business on a day to day basis. This includes the sales promotion and business development; quoting for new work; surveying and installing the shuttercraft product range; building relationships with clients, to encourage repeat business; and growing the franchise, eventually recruiting and training new staff.
To succeed with shuttercraft you need an eye for detail and a passion for excellent service. You must be a people person with good empathy towards clients as well as having the inherent potential to become a quality craftsman. Additional skills such as training, sales or marketing would also be an asset but shuttercraft have all the expertise in house to provide franchisees with the support they need.

Travel during November and December to make the most of the good weather, and to avoid the higher humidity of January – May. Flights during these months, however, can be more expensive than at off peak times. You could also visit during one of Gambia's festivals to see the city in festive mode. May is a great time to book flights to Banjul as this is when Bob Marley day is celebrated each year, and is usually accompanied by music, food, and dancing.
The heat never really dies down in Banjul so no matter when you plan your trip you are guaranteed to be in warm conditions all year round.

Banjul overview
Banjul is the capital of the Gambia, and its most populous city. It is also the place where the beautiful Gambia River meets the Atlantic Ocean. As such, this city has so many different things to offer the tourist, from bustling markets to scenic coastal regions and peaceful river cruises. Banjul is also home to some stunning national parks. Bijilo Forest Park is a great place to wander through some native wilderness, whilst The Gambia River National Park is a magical attraction, situated on a set of islands. Visit the Abuko Nature Reserve if you want to enjoy a family friendly day out, meeting some of the many colourful birds and animals that are native to this region of Africa. One of the key landmarks in the city is 'Arch 22'. Arch 22 is a museum, but one of the main reasons that it is so popular is that it also offers superb views over the city from its roof (which is reached by a small stairway). Another great thing to see when you visit the city is Banjul market, which is ideal if you want to bring home some authentic souvenirs.
Getting around Banjul
Banjul is located on the Trans-West African Coastal Highway, so driving is reasonably easy. The road network is still under construction here, though, so you can expect the city's transport links to other parts of The Gambia to get better in the future as well. You can also hire local taxis to take you wherever you need to go. Another common way to travel in Banjul is by ferry. There are both ferries available to take you on trips to Barra on the River Gambia, and specialist pleasure boat tour operators. The latter combine a fantastic opportunity for sightseeing with a relatively quick way to get from A to B.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Flights to Banjul land at the Banjul International Airport (BJL) and is only a short drive from the town centre, and the best option is probably to hire a car or to take a local taxi. Haggling with the driver is perfectly acceptable. You might also be able to book a shuttle bus from the airport to your hotel, so make sure to check.


text: Infrastructure Cisco enters server market Marc Ferranti Elizabeth Montalbano and Stephen Lawson @itworldca Published: March 15th, 2009In a much-anticipated announcement, Cisco Systems Monday launched its Unified Computing System, comprising virtualization technology, services and blade servers aimed at helping enterprises develop and manage what it calls "next-generation data centers."Cisco's new data-center architecture comprises compute, network, storage access and virtualization resources in a single rackable system designed to cut IT infrastructure costs and complexity, stretch existing IT investments and allow enterprise customers to build an agile data center that they can easily extend for future growth, according to the company. White PaperEnabling Better Decisions Through Unified Access to InformationTaking a step into the server market, where it will compete with long-standing partners like Hewlett-Packard and IBM, Cisco announced the UCS B-Series blades, based on upcoming Intel Nehalem processors. Cisco said the blades incorporate extended memory technology for applications with large data sets. More about CiscoCisco is big tease about 'Big Bang' switch upgrade However, Cisco also is teaming up with software partners such as Microsoft, VMware and BMC to provide technology for its new system. Cisco will prepackage, resell and support Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V technology and as part of the Unified Computing System. For its part, VMware is providing virtualization technology to the new system and BMC is contributing resource-management software.For the Linux crowd, Cisco also will sell and support Red Hat Enterprise Linux as of the new system and will support Red Hat's forthcoming virtualization portfolio as well. Like its new rivals HP and IBM, Cisco is becoming an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partner to server OS vendors, selling their software on its new blades.Systems integrator Accenture has already signed on to be a services partner, introducing on Monday four services options for its customers to deploy the Unified Computing System. Cisco also is inviting its broad network of channel partners to work with the company to provide the new infrastructure to enterprise customers. White PaperThe hidden costs of data migration Prior to Monday's announcement, Cisco had laid out its intention to eliminate the manual integration of computing and storage platforms with networks and virtualization systems. In a recent blog posting, CTO Padmasree Warrior acknowledged this will lead Cisco to compete with some of its partners.Most enterprises have been able to realize the benefits of the first phase of virtualization, consolidating their data centers for economies of scale and simpler management. But it's been hard to achieve full virtualization, in which virtual machines can continuously move among servers, analysts say.This would allow for adding processing power as demand for an application grows, or for moving tasks off a physical server at night for hardware maintenance. Another rival Juniper's data center answer to Cisco: Stratus ProjectVendors of servers, storage and software all can play roles in managing resources in virtualized data centers. Cisco executives have said the network is the best place to tackle many of these tasks because it is the only element of the infrastructure that touches everything. IBM and HP have not overlooked the importance of networks in controlling data centers. IBM has aligned with Cisco rival Juniper Networks in a broad strategy called Stratus, and HP is expected to increasingly tie its growing ProCurve networking business in with its computing offerings.Cisco has pushed to bring more functions into the network infrastructure for several years. These have included security, application optimization, and adaptation of multimedia to fit different clients and purposes. As revenue growth from its core routing and switching businesses slows, the company is aggressively branching out into new areas, including consumer electronics and the Telepresence high-definition videoconferencing line.Would you recommend this article?00 Thanks for taking the time to let us know what you think of this article!

My 28 year old son, David, has had severe epilepsy since he was 11; mainly nocturnal, tonic clonic seizures, has been in status several times. 5 years ago, he underwent intracranial eeg followed by resection of the right half of his frontal lobe. He is intelligent, sociable, a keen volunteer and still has seizures. So, he is on a waiting list ( we are in the UK) for a second surgery. This would involved him being awake, because they are going very close to his speech and motor skills areas. A 20% chance of emerging from surgery seizure free has been suggested as have a list of likely negative outcomes, including speech and mood issues, and possible loss of mobility on the right side. I do not want him to have such a highly risky surgery, but he is grasping at the chance, however slim, to be rid of seizures. He is often reminded of the high mortality rate for people with nocturnal seizures of his severity. I feel that the hospital are pushing him towards this surgery and I am utterly terrified. I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thankyou.
Liked by Dawn, Volunteer Mentor, Leonard
I'm glad to hear he is coping well with meds. My son just had laser ablation for frontal lobe epilepsy. He participated in a research project with a Tesla 7 MRI to find the focal point causing the seizures. It's only been a couple weeks since the surgery so time will tell but no seizures so far. Prayers for your son and you.
