Our drought
I would like to commend the city of Ashland for their splendid recent Drought Summit to keep citizens informed of the evolving consequences of the ongoing drought.
Presenters were knowledgeable and educational booths were informative. A lively Q&A followed with so much input from the audience that not all of it could be covered in the allotted time. Audience members who clearly understood the gravity of the situation put forward many positive suggestions, great and small.
After hearing this exchange of ideas, all of which addressed the symptoms of drought, I came away feeling somehow that we all missed the point.
Perhaps some day a small child will point out that the emperor has no clothes. We have only been dealing with the symptoms, and largely ignored the root cause of our water problems, global warming!
No mention was made of acknowledging or doing anything to actually deal with the cause of the drought. No amount of frugality, faucet repair or building more dams will ultimately resolve this problem.
Until we face this "inconvenient truth" and take action, the problem will only continue to compound itself every week, month, year and decade until it becomes irreparably insoluble.
By then, no action will be of any consequence.

Gaza blockade must end
Senator Merkley is one of the few members of Congress so far who have called for an immediate and durable ceasefire between Israel and Gaza.
According to U.N. statistics, more than a thousand civilians have been killed, and the overwhelming majority are Palestinian. The bombs and rockets must stop. As Senator Merkley pointed out in a recent speech, security and economic development are essential to any enduring peace. A ceasefire must lift Israel's seven-year blockade imposed on Gaza, which continues to prevent Palestinians in Gaza from accessing the outside world for trade, medical treatment, higher education and other opportunities critical to a dignified life.
I hope Senator Wyden will also speak out in support of a ceasefire. The Friends Committee on National Legislation, a Quaker lobby in the public interest, has more on what we can all do to support an end to the violence at www.fcnl.org/gaza.

Jaime a model professional
An agent, a modelling contract, her picture in British Vogue — it's all a possibility for Jaime Proctor.
She's one of 42 finalists hoping to win Top Model Worldwide 2018.
"The runway show in the competition is watched by agents and photographers," said the 14-year-old, who was chosen from more than 4,000 applicants.
"Some of the models are featured in Vogue magazine. I would love to be in Vogue. I'm really excited."
Her journey began in 2016 after she went to Diane Maughan for beauty tips.
The retired model was friends with her mother, Heather Montgomery. She'd mentored Alisa Bernardo, the late Sophie Fraser-Smith and Gina Swainson, Miss World 1979, and thought she saw something in Jaime.
"I thought I was done with coaching, but when I met Jaime I thought I'd do it one more time," said Ms Maughan.
"Her bone structure, her height and size appealed to me. She has a lovely expression on her face almost permanently. Jaime has brains and the strength of character to be a really good model."
Despite that, Jaime's dream is to be a doctor like her mother.
"I want to be a paediatrician," she said. "I love working with children. I think I just like the fashion itself, and how it is always changing. I like seeing how it looks on people.
"I like how you have to really sell the clothing. You have to show the audience that this is why you should buy this, without even saying anything."
Ms Maughan pulled a few strings to introduce Jaime to London Fashion Week in September. Although she was too young to model, Jaime got a job helping out in the fitting rooms.
Ms Maughan said: "I mentioned that a former student of mine, Alisa Bernardo, had participated and gone on to Top Model Worldwide and did very well in that. She became very interested."
Jaime said: "It was fantastic. It really opened my eyes to how fashion works. Going there, I didn't really know what to expect.
"I didn't bump into any celebrity models, but I was working with couture designers like Omar Mansoor and Yuvna Kim. It gave me an idea what to expect when I go to Top Model in April."
She was particularly excited when Yuvna Kim offered to make her a dress for Top Model Worldwide.
"We still have to check to see if that's all right," the BHS student said.
She's had practice since, modelling for Front Street retailers Lusso and Alexandra Mosher.
"I have also had my photo taken by Diane's son, Rich de Whittaker, who is a photographer," she said.
To get into Top Model Worldwide, Jaime had to go through an interview process and show her runway walk.
She is also required to raise at least �500 for Children with Cancer UK and that money will go towards childhood cancer research.
She found out she was a finalist last summer.
"I'm excited to be taking part in it," she said.
However, her school work will always come first.
"If she gets a modelling contract from the competition, we'll ask if she can work in the summer," said Ms Maughan. "I will be at the competition watching over her.
"I can't be with her all the time, but I've told her that if an agent approaches her she is not to accept anything until she talks it over with her parents and myself."
The winner will be announced at the Hilton London Metropole on April 7. Another Bermudian, 17-year-old Samantha Warren, is also competing. Read about her next week.

Teaching and Learning History - 051016
Classroom Applications
Lyndon Johnson's Great Society
& the War on Poverty Lesson Plan
by Jennifer Staysniak
Mount Alvernia High School
Boston, MA
Too often teachers find themselves in a time crunch toward the end of the year, just when it is time to discuss Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Already under pressure to cover as much material as possible, teachers must also consider state curriculum standards concerning Johnson and his ambitious domestic agenda. Curriculum frameworks in social studies tend to emphasize Johnson's presidency in relation to Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan, with a particular emphasis on his deepening involvement in Vietnam. All too frequently, this means the incredible amount of legislation, social reforms, and program initiatives from his presidency are overlooked and passed by.
Johnson's Great Society provides a unique opportunity for students to reflect on legislation and social welfare reforms that are still relevant today. Indeed, many students may already have some exposure to programs from this time period. Yet rarely do they have a full understanding of the War on Poverty's successes, failures, limitations, and legacy. If one goal of teaching social studies is to allow students space to see themselves within the grand narrative of U.S. history, we must take time to reflect on Johnson's vision for an America without poverty.
New advances in scholarship on the War on Poverty are quite welcome. But while these studies are a boon to professors and academics, the new grassroots perspectives make the task of the teacher that much more complicated. The question is then, how do we effectively teach the Great Society and the War on Poverty within a two-day lesson? With the amount of information available, teaching such a content-rich time period is no easy task. There are important elements to highlight however, and I hope that this lesson plan provides your students with a hands-on, front row seat to a critical time period in our nation's history.
Learning Objectives:
1. Students will be able to identify the goals of Johnson's Great Society and the War on Poverty.
2. Students will be able to illustrate the successes and failures of the War on Poverty.
3. Students will be able to compare the War on Poverty's political and on-the-ground legacies.
4. Students will be able to construct and design their own War on Poverty program applicable to current issues.
Language Objectives:
1. Students will be able to identify and discuss major legislation and initiatives from Johnson's administration. This includes the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 1965 Civil Rights Act, 1968 Civil Rights Act, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Higher Education Act, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Transportation, Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Office of Economic Opportunity, Medicare, Medicaid, Job Corps, VISTA, Model Cities, Upward Bound, Food Stamps, and Head Start.
1. Johnson's Great Society Speech Worksheet (Homework due on Day One of Lesson)
2. The Other America Worksheet (Homework due on Day Two of Lesson)
3. War on Poverty Program Activity (In-Class)
Day One Procedure:
1. Review homework due today (Johnson's Great Society Speech Worksheet)
a. Options: Put students into groups to discuss their answers; Partner discussion; Students may volunteer answers; Cold call
2. Collect homework.
3. Clarify the goals of Johnson's Great Society based on the homework assignment and briefly explain how the War on Poverty fit into his vision.
4. Partner Discussion: After you have provided a lead-in to the War on Poverty, put students into groups of 2-3 people and have them discuss and write down answers in their notebooks for the following questions:
a. What does it mean to go to war against something or someone?
b. How can one conclude the victors from the losers at the end of a war?
c. When is a war over?
5. Whole Group Discussion: Have one member from each group volunteer to share his or her thoughts with the class. You may choose to have one group share their response to only one of the three questions to save time.
6. Individual Reflection: In their notebooks, have students reflect on the following question:
a. Can a war against poverty be won? Explain why or why not.
7. Video: Show the five-minute video "The Great Society" to students: http://www.lbjlibrary.org/lyndon-baines-johnson/speeches-films#!prettyPhoto/7/
a. This video is available at www.lbjlibrary.org, under "Speeches and Films"
8. Group Discussion: After watching the clip, clarify any programs mentioned in the film that are necessary for students to understand. Then discuss with students:
a. How does the video portray Johnson's Great Society and the War on Poverty?
b. Who or what do you think is left out of this narrative?
i. Suggestion: Ruby Duncan and Operation Life is a great example of grassroots social action during the War on Poverty. For more information browse Storming Caesar's Palace by Annelise Orleck
c. What roadblocks do you believe the War on Poverty and Johnson's initiatives faced?
9. Distribute and explain homework. If time allows, students may begin. You may also choose, similar to the homework due today, to upload the assignment to your teacher website to save paper.
Day Two Procedure:
1. Discussion: Using knowledge from last night's homework and yesterday's lesson, discuss with students successes of, and roadblocks to, the War on Poverty.
2. Homework: Have students take out their homework and review their answer to question #5. Ask students to choose what problem they believe is the most important to solve today. Go around the room one-by-one and have each student share that one problem. As they share, make a list on the board (or have a student volunteer to write on the board). If there are repeats, put a checkmark next to each one. Use this list to transition into the activity.
3. Collect homework.
4. Activity: Arrange students into groups of 4-5 and give each group one piece of blank white paper (computer or construction), then explain the activity. As you explain, write the main components of the activity on the board. You may also choose to have the activity directions on a handout, or to save paper, on a power point slide. Say to students:
a. Using your knowledge of Johnson's Great Society initiatives and his War on Poverty programs, create your own War on Poverty program that addresses a major concern of today. As a group, you will prepare a "report" that will be turned in. On this report, you must have a program:
i. Description (3-4 sentences)
ii. Defense (Why is this necessary?) (3-4 sentences)
iii. Goals (At least 3)
iv. Plan of Action (How is this going to work?) (5-6 sentences)
v. Possible Problems (At least 3)
vi. Logo and Slogan (hand-drawn, approximately the size of your hand)
b. Your report must use complete sentences and each group member must write at least one of the sections. Only one report per group needs to be turned in, so pass it around as you write out your report so I see everyone's handwriting. The logo and slogan should be completed on the blank paper.
5. Have students share with the class and post their logo and slogan somewhere in your classroom.
6. Reflection/Exit Ticket: Have student reflect on the following questions. You may choose to have them write it as an exit ticket and collect it from them as they leave class, or write in their notebooks:
a. How were the programs your created today similar to Johnson's War on Poverty initiatives? How were they different? Do you believe these programs could be successful if put into action today? Why or why not?

Most of my clients had this doubt about Snapmirror and Snapvault
1) What are the differences between these two as both these perform a copy from source to destination
2) why we need to have two products for backup
3) Why do i need to buy two product license , Instead i can just have one product
4) What is my RTO and RPO with these products and which one is better for DR
Here i am trying to tell the exact difference between Snapmirror and Snapvault, First going in to basics
What is Snapvault ?
A SnapVault backup is a collection of Snapshot copies on a Flex volume that you can restore data from if the primary data is not usable. Snapshot copies are created based on a Snapshot policy. The SnapVault backup backs up Snapshot copies based on its schedule and SnapVault policy rules.
A SnapVault backup is a disk-to-disk backup solution that you can also use to offload tape backups. In the event of data loss or corruption on a system, backed-up data can be restored from the SnapVault secondary volume with less downtime and uncertainty than is associated with conventional tape backup and restore operations.
What is Snapmirror ?
SnapMirror is a feature of Data ONTAP that enables you to replicate data. SnapMirror enables you to replicate data from specified source volumes or qtrees to specified destination volumes or qtrees, respectively. You need a separate license to use SnapMirror.
You can use SnapMirror to replicate data within the same storage system or with different storage systems.
Now we see what is the difference between Snapvault and Snapmirror
First statement i would say the difference is "Snapvault is a backup solution where snapmirror is a DR solution"
Snapvault is a backup solution where we can have long snapshot retention periods on the destination filer and slower disks can be used at the destination side with low RPM's to minimize the budget , In case of disaster occurrence we can restore data from destination filer to source filer, But we cannot make the destination as source to serve the data as Snapvault destinations are READ ONLY.
Snapmirror is a DR solution where we can use Sync and Semi-Sync , Async relationships and also we can easily restore the accidentally deleted, or lost data to source filer, if there are no updates were performed meanwhile. If there is a total disaster on the source side we can immediately perform a reverse snapmirror in case of total disaster of source we can make the destination volume/qtree as read-write and provide access to the clients. Which means low RTO and RPO , Which means low outages. Once the Source is ready we can resync the destination to source and continue with source as before.
Notable difference
Qtree SnapMirror
More suitable for providing immediate failover capability.
Uses the same functionality and licensing on the source and destination systems.
Transfers can be scheduled at a maximum rate of once every minute.
Relationships can be reversed. This allows the source to be re-synchronized with changes made at the destination.
More suitable where data availability is less critical, and immediate failover is not required.
Uses SnapVault source system and SnapVault destination system, which provide different functionality.
Transfers can be scheduled at a maximum rate of once every hour.
Snapshot copies are retained and deleted on a specified schedule.
Relationships cannot be reversed. It provides the capability to transfer data from the destination to the source only to restore data. The direction of replication cannot be reversed.
To Summarize
Snapvault is moreover a Backup solution rather than a disaster recovery solution but imagine in case if you are in deep trouble and need to have your production up asap then go for converting Snapvault qtree in to a Snapmirror qtree.( I haven't tried but it can be done from DIAG mode with Snapvault convert command ).
Snapmirror is purely replication solution which saves us in case of disaster.
So based on differences above we can easily judge which solution will have more RTO & RPO.
License structure was designed by Netapp , As we already know we need to have primary as well as secondary license.
Hope this helped !!

It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films.
