1 Addressing and Routing in Multi-substrate Overlay Networks Jorg Liebeherr University of Toronto Joint work with: Majid Valipour and Boris Drazic
2 Substrate (underlay) network Overlay network What is an overlay anyway? An overlay network is a virtual network of nodes and logical links built on top of an existing network A virtual link in the overlay corresponds to a path in the underlay
Multi-substrate Network Colors indicate type of substrate Overlapping circles and links indicate bidirectional connectivity
Resulting Topology 4
Approaches to Routing 1.Vanilla Ad-hoc routing –Extensively explored –Not cognizant of substrates –Scalability limits 2.Single structured overlay –Simple addressing and routing –Scales to large networks –Not always viable 3.Hierarchical –Within and between groups of same color –Needs address and routing solutions 5
6 Overlays over multiple substrates Goal: Improve ability to build an overlay over multiple substrates Problem: How to efficiently propagate information about address bindings? Solution: Protocol mechanisms for exchanging address bindings Cross Substrate Advertisement (CSA)
Address Bindings in Single-substrate Overlay Address binding: [A; SA(A)] 7 Overlay node identifier Substrate address
Address Bindings in Multi-substrate Overlay More complex address binding: [A; SA S1 (A), SA S3 (A)] 8 Overlay node identifier Substrate address
9 Cross Substrate Advertising (simplified) - Outgoing - ID = A Source: A SA S1 (A)SA S2 (A)SA S3 (A) SA S1 (A) SA S2 (A) SA S3 (A) List of substrate addresses Source: A SA S1 (A)SA S2 (A)SA S3 (A)
10 Cross Substrate Advertising (simplified) - Incoming - IDSubstrate addresses ASA S1 (A), SA S1 (A), SA S1 (A) Source: A SA S1 (A)
Implementation CSA Protocol realized as part of an open source overlay software system (www.hypercast.org)www.hypercast.org Implemented as a layer: –Mechanisms are independent of protocol that builds topology Considers preference for substrates CSA message types: –Request address list –Update 11
12 Evaluate Methods for Relayed Address Exchange Exchange address lists periodically Attach address lists to protocol messages Add address list to each message with info on node Request address list when info is needed Add preferred address to each message with info on node PushPullPush Single Gossip Protocol-driven dissemination
Experimental Evaluation Local Emulab Testbed 20 Linux nodes Software: Hypercast with CSA Delaunay Triangulation protocol Multiple UDP/IP substrates CPU2xQuad-Core Xeon 5400 (2 Ghz) RAM4G DDR2 Interface8x1Gbps (4 Intel card, 4 NetFPGA)
Mapping of Nodes to Substrates K x K substrates (K+1) x (K+1) regions Nodes distributed uniformly across regions K=2 S1S1 S2S2 S4S4 S3S3 R 11 R 22 R 12 R 13 R 23 R 31 R 21 R 33 R 23
Performance metrics Stability: Do nodes reach a stable state? –% of nodes satisfying stability criterion for local neighborhood Connectivity: Do nodes form a single overlay? –# of partitioned topologies 15 A single stable overlay topology has formed when (1) 100% of nodes are stable; and (2) there is one topology
Stability K=8 (64 substrates), 648 nodes Push/Pull None Push-single Gossip Push-single and gossip 250 ms 500 ms 1000 ms
Connectivity K=8 (64 substrates), 648 nodes Number of partitions
Protocol overhead Received Traffic (average per node): K=17 (289 substrates), 2592 nodes
Approaches to Routing 1.Vanilla Ad-hoc routing –Extensively explored –Not cognizant of substrates –Scalability issues 2.Single structured overlay –Simple addressing and routing –Scales to large networks –Not always viable 3.Hierarchical –Within and between groups of same color –Needs address and routing solutions 19
Reachability Domain 20 Substrate: Set of compatible attachment points Reachability Domain: Maximal set of nodes with path in same substrate Nodes in the same reachability domain must be able to agree on the scope and identifier of a reachability domain. Hierarchical routing: First find destination RD, then node within RD
Dynamic Reachability Domains 21 Number and location of reachability domains are dynamic New reachability domain Location of reachability domain changes Keeping consistent routing tables may not be feasible
Strawman: Landmark Domain Routing 22 Inspired by Landmark Routing and Compact Routing Key concepts: –Use least volatile reachability domains as landmark domains –Route to destination via landmark domain Nodes know how to route to landmark domain Locator is reverse path from landmark domain –Locator has one entry per traversed reachability domain
Reachability Domain 23 Route from A K Ks Locator: {RD 6 ; H, J} Step 1: Use next-hop information to reach node in landmark domain Step 2: Use locator for exit node in landmark domain Step 3: Follow reverse path to K
Preliminary Evaluation 24 Random static topology 100 nodes per substrate with up to 70 reachability domains Multiple landmark domains
Related Works Adhoc Routing –Hierarchies or clustering for scalability e.g., [Ramanathan & Steenstrup `98] [Pei et.al. `00] [Eriksson et.al.`04] –Structured overlays for ad-hoc routing e.g., [Viana et.al. 04] Scalable Routing –Landmark e.g., [Francis `88] –Compact Routing e.g., [Thorup & Zwick `01] –Metric Spaces e.g., [Krioukov `10] Overlay-based Routing –Identifier-based e.g, [VRR 06] [IHR 08] [ROFL 06] –Locator-based + directory e.g., [SEATTLE `08] [SpoVNeT 08] 25
Summary Self-organizing overlay protocols over multiple substrates Cross-Substrate Advertisement improves ability to form a structured overlay over multiple substrates Hierarchical routing between reachability domains Landmark domain routing awaits full exploration: –Provable bounds on path stretch –Scalability vs. dynamics

Pet Sitter - Amber Mahoney
Amber Mahoney grew up in a household filled mostly with cats, birds, and the occasional fish, but her earliest memories include a Newfoundland/Irish Setter mix named Augie. It wasn't until she adopted her first dog as an adult, however, that she discovered her real love of dogs and training. She now shares her home with her two German Shepherds, Chloe, a retired service and therapy dog that Amber trained herself, and Ferrous, as well as Jupiter, the cat, who is gracious enough to put up with them.
Amber's passion for dogs has developed into a strong commitment to their humane training and treatment. She has spent several years learning from accomplished Portland trainers, and is part of the team at Synergy Behavior Solutions. She teaches puppy and basic good manners classes, and assists with behavior modification classes and private consultations. Amber recently completed the 300 hours of hours of training required to become a Certified Pet Dog Trainer.

|Mice on the farm.
Image from http://www.wpclipart.com/
The only mice I like are the ones who wear clothes.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Speedy Gonzalez, and Cinderella's little helpers are all fine.
But the real naked rodents are not my friends, even if they could learn to sing, tap dance, or sew my clothes.
Recently we lost dozens of toddler pepper plants to a marauding mouse living the high life in the greenhouse. A few traps later, a bit of hot dog, and the problem was solved.
But alas, it was too late for our peppers.
Mice have always given me shivers up my spine.
When I was in university, a mouse, perhaps dislodged from its timeshare by nearby road construction, took solace in my apartment.
Obviously, one of us was going to have to go.
I threw some clothes together and high tailed it out of there.
A generous relative put me up for the duration of my self-imposed exile, and an indulgent landlord disposed of my new roommate.
I am grateful to my family who drove two hours to help clean the place once the all-clear was sounded. (Typical roomie, have to clean up after them.) We had spring cleaning in September that year.
One little mouse brought a lot of generosity of spirit, all aimed in my direction. (Perhaps they are good for something after all?)
According to a pest control company I consulted, here are a few tips to deal with mice:
1. Search the outside of your dwelling. Look for any openings through which you can stick a pen (near cable or other wires, for example). Mice can collapse their lungs to fit through an opening that small. Stuff such openings with steel wool.
2. Mice will only travel short distances from their nest, and usually no more than 20 feet. If you are putting out mice bait (preferably in bait boxes too small for other animals to access), do so in concentric rings around your dwelling. Think of a target with your home as the bull's eye. Replenish the bait until it is no longer disappearing. Then go further to the next ring and repeat, so that a perimeter is maintained.
3. Mice populations are on a seven year cycle. If you are hard hit one year, you may get off easy the next if the cycle is beginning again.

If you wish to come up with a good business title on your firm, the one thing you should not do is let another person do it for you.

I'm undecided if I need to add another one now because I'd not need to take away from or devalue my R + F business. Downtown city areas are a very good place to look, particularly alongside parade routes for that further burst of business during metropolis celebrations!

Some deductions disappear totally for taxpayers with high gross incomes, and a few, like these for miscellaneous business expenses" (these Racing Kinds once more) and medical expenses, must exceed a sure fraction of the taxpayer's gross revenue to qualify.
Local jurisdictions may additionally require particular licenses and taxes just to function a business.

Video Find: The Cute Lepers
"Equally influenced by first wave punk, mod - revival, power pop, and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders" is how The Cute Lepers describe themselves on their Facebook and Myspace pages, I found this band to be a wonderful breath of fresh air, taking all the little bits of music I enjoy and mixing it together. Their guitars are raw, and rock, their songs are pop and memorable, and their is an attitude to it that seems to have been lost in a lot of punk music since the 70s. They hail from Seattle, Washington and come from the ashes of The Briefs.
I recently discovered this great band while I was in LA. I was driving for days, which is the typically miserable lifestyle of a California native, but I was fortunate in that my rental car came equipped with Sirius Satellite Radio. I found myself listening mostly to Little Steven's Underground Garage. Over the span of about 4 days, I found myself hearing at least 5 different songs from their recently released album Can't Stand Modern Music. It made my travels not seem as bad. I was able to pick up the record, and was pleasantly satisfied that the album was great even beyond the five songs I had heard. Even more than that, I was so excited that they covered Opening Up by late 70s English Mod-Revival band The Circles. I love love this cut and have also wanted to play a version of it for years. Their version is wonderful, as is their album. It appears you can still order their album on Pink Vinyl here, so check it out, and also check out the original MP3 from The Cirlces below. Hopefully we'll have more to come with The Cute Lepers in the near future.

This phone rocks, its beautiful, super fast, amazing screen, battery holds up to one week with frequent everyday use, what more do you need? i've had it since january no lock-ups, no freezes, and its always on! even with crap java games, or non compatible java games, the phone just doesnt lock up!
I have the V3xx and bought my son a Samsung Sync. I have the better looking phone, but the Sync is superior for multimedia. The V3xx only plays video formatted to about half the screen resolution whereas the Sync will play 320 x 240, even if its a 30fps file. The Sync has a 2 MP camera, and external music player controls to boot. I'm keeping the V3xx because it is gorgeous, but I hope the Maxx will address these shortcomings if Motorola hopes to keep the Razr rolling.
To all you who own a V3xx: can SMS delivery reports be turned on permanently or only switched on/off for a given message?
Thanks =)
Nope...the V3xx cannot play wma files. AAC is superior to it (I did a spectral comparison), and AAC+ is pretty much the best format for audio on a cell phone. Get the nero command line encoder for AAC+ and Exact Audio Copy to run it. I guarantee you that you'll love it. BTW, there isn't a GUI for the AAC+ encoder yet, so you'll have to google a bit to find the commands. Best Motorola yet...RAZR V3xx!!!(opinion)
Dear Readers,
I am trying to download the pictures from my phone to a folder on my laptop. I have lost the disk that I got with the phone and cannot get any help on the website. Can anyone give me any advice how to do this. This is very annoying as I have been trying to do this for the past half hour.
Please help, thanks.
Got this today, Great out of the box experience. Another great peice of kit from o2!. I mode Rocks!
V6 maxx has a 2mp camera and v3xx only 1.3, but quility is the same more or less and on the other hand v3xx has the great design of v3.
So, I vote for v3xx
This is a great Phone, However the only setback is the old looking keypad that belongs to the V3. I still believe that the V3i is a more trendy phone but I recommend to all who are looking for a quality 3G phone to look into this phone. In my opinion, the V3i looks and features of the V3xx and camera of V6 Maxx, then you have the ultimate flip phone.

She was on her way to somewhere…she just didn't know it was the segregated South in 1912, but it proved to be an adventure.
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell's Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

One year in our lives seems so small. There it is: 365 days. 12 months. Some years stretch on and on like a river; some flit by like a moth's flight.
And then some years remind us of something more than time. This year of my life is one of the most important--one that will stand out in my small history. It is the first year of marriage.
The first year of marriage is probably not as important as the tenth, or the thirtieth. It is the easy times--lazy Saturdays and wishful dreaming. The first year is the indication of what is to come. Our first year has been an upheaval of life--marriage, mortgages, moving. But it has also been a year of love.
In one year of marriage, I have learned the following about Michael: he will buy me coffee in the morning just to get me out of bed, even when he doesn't need to leave the house. He will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule and my diet. He will rub my feet and scratch my back. He will attend yarn shops with me and without me, indulging every fiber desire. And at night, he will place his hand lightly on my hip as we drift off to sleep. He will laugh at my inane thoughts as though they are meaningful. On my birthday, he will shower me with gifts and hugs and smiles.
Even when he is sad, Michael will smile for me. He takes every opportunity to tell me how much he loves me. This is a marriage of friendship, of constancy, of childlike faith. I could not ask for more.
There is often a pause in a relationship, when one retires to the bedroom and considers life and all of its inconsistencies. And many can find displeasure in their relationships. This is normal. I would not harbor ill will against Michael if he has done this: I am stubborn and usually in my own world. I can be argumentative and snobbish. I can be dull and listless. And on weekends, I don't shower. But I would also wager that Michael has never had these thoughts of doubt or disappointment. He has always met me as I am.
And so, in one year, I have learned about symbiosis in its most platonic way: Michael and I are a Form of this relationship; we've many roads to walk together, and we acknowledge there may come a time when we will wish to walk apart. But we cannot imagine such a time. Where he goes, so shall I. Where he sleeps, so I will rest. And when he needs me, there I will be.
This year has been a year of firsts. It has lengthened and shortened like tides, bringing us out to sea and taking us back to shore. But there is raft that supports us, and makes us giggle at the waves which toss us. To love Michael is to love the world that created him. It is what makes me believe in people, this love.
It could not be more simple nor more complex. I am glad to be his wife.

text: In January, I had the opportunity to photograph a large number of dancers at my children's dance school. Through a series of unforeseen circumstances, the photographer who had been hired to do the action photography on stage ended up leaving during the dress rehearsal, so I was asked to step in at the last minute. I wasn't fully prepared, but did have my favorite lenses on me, and so I think I was able to capture the dancers as requested! I don't really want to post the photos I took of the little ones here, so instead I will focus on the high school age Interns, who dance with the little kids on stage. In addition to helping out the young ones, they also do their own opening and closing number. These girls are beautiful dancers and very sweet with the little kids, so I was glad to have the opportunity to get to capture them dancing!

A lot of international locations demand an analogous standard of security for the kids residing in or visiting the home, although several pool proprietors like the Visible facet of the pool in near proximity to their dwelling regions, and will never give this standard of defense.
Ending touches involve out of doors grills, firepits, swim up bars, etcetera. The advantage of dealing with a Accredited Creating Professional is usually that we like to operate beyond the box to style and design and Create a thing that will "wow" our customers.
They raise the temperature of the pool by all-around 20 °Fahrenheit, or 11 °Celsius, just after currently being over the pool for weekly. Bubble addresses are usually applied and eradicated by becoming rolled up on a device fitted to 1 aspect from the pool (see illustration). Addresses disintegrate immediately after 4 or 5 years as a consequence of Solar publicity, overheating in the Sunlight even though from the pool, and chlorine attacking the plastic. Bubble covers need to be eliminated all through Tremendous chlorination.
Exercising in water prevents pressure on muscles and therefore productive training can be carried out underwater without danger of injury. Advisable by several health care Experienced, hydrotherapy is helpful for arthritis, joint agony etcetera.

Kord Technologies is pleased to announce a facilities expansion of its headquarters in Huntsville, AL. This development includes new office spaces and a prototyping laboratory that will provide space and capability to do hands-on composite and material work and manufacture of full prototype and test components.
The lab model draws inspiration from the flow of classic composite fabrication with areas for wet chemistry, hand layup and modification, parts inspection, and thermal treatment. The lab is not limited to composite fabrication, but has been carefully designed with planned flexibility to accommodate future work using mobile workstations that will allow rapid reconfiguration of the workspace to support fabrication of larger assemblies or other work. The lab will also be equipped with certified areas to provide safe and proper chemical storage as well as a wet chemistry area for resin mixing and transferring.
Initial equipment procurement is underway. Kord has recently taken delivery of fume extraction equipment and a FARO EDGE metrology system for parts inspection. Future purchases will include a heated platen press, a composite batch oven for curing of composites and a filament winder for wound fiber composite fabrication. Laboratory and office space construction and facilities expansion is ongoing. The lab is expected to be fully operational by early 2018.

IT pays to know how your family will fare, says Dianne Paterson.
Although a couple dying together in a common accident is still a relatively rare occurrence, it has been customary, when drafting wills, to take account of such a situation, in the unlikely event of a spouse or partner dying in quick succession. It is therefore still usual, when reviewing wills, to come across "30-day clauses" or "survivorship" clauses in the wills of married couples or civil partners.
These clauses provide that, on the death of the first, their estate only passes to their partner, "if their partner survives them for 30 days". The reason for including such clauses in the past was to prevent a situation of the estate of the first passing in quick succession through the estate of the other, only to find that the other had already died in that same accident or shortly thereafter.
These clauses were generally seen to have advantages, including the possibility of saving considerable administrative costs as well as inheritance tax. However, since the introduction of "transferable nil rate bands", any potential inheritance tax advantage with these clauses has disappeared.
A nil rate band is the tax free allowance to which everyone is entitled. At present the nil rate band stands at £325,000, which means everyone is entitled to leave up to £325,000 without paying any tax. In addition, there is no tax payable between married couples and civil partners, whatever the amount ("surviving spouse exemption").
Previously, if everything passed to the surviving partner, only for them to die in quick succession, it meant the allowance of £325,000 on the first death was not used up (as it has passed to the spouse under "surviving spouse exemption") and the nil rate band allowance on the second death of £325,000 might not be sufficient to cover the value of the combined estate.
However, as mentioned, since the introduction of the "transferable nil rate band" any possible tax saving have disappeared by allowing any unused allowance on the first death to be claimed on the second death. This means that the allowance on the second death can be doubled to £650,000, which might actually be sufficient to cover the value of the combined estate in some cases. It also means the inclusion of a 30-day clause now in a will could cause problems in certain circumstances, if the estates of the respective spouses are considerably different in value. For example, if a couple were involved in a car accident where the husband died instantly and the wife died a few days later, there could be a problem if the husband owned assets with a value significantly over £325,000 in his own name and the wife owned assets significantly under £325,000.
If there was a 30-day clause in the husband's will, his estate would not then fall to his wife under "surviving spouse exemption" but to his children, who would be required to pay 40 per cent on all his estate exceeding £325,000.
Whilst the children would not have to pay tax on their mother's estate on her death a few days later, it being under the £325K nil rate band, they would not have been able to have made use of any the unused relief on her estate to set against the tax payable on the estate of their father.
If there has been no 30-day clause in either will, then the combined estate would have passed to the children on their mother's death, with an allowance of £650,000 in total, which may well have been sufficient to cover the whole estate.
Such an example might suggest the transferable nil rate band has rendered the 30-day clauses redundant altogether; however, this is not quite the case. If an estate is so small that inheritance tax is not a consideration or so large that both nil rate bands are swallowed up anyway, then 30-day clauses might still have a role to play in certain situations, particularly if, without one, there is a risk that the estate might pass on to unintended beneficiaries, as well as incurring additional administration and expenses.
Just as everyone is different, so too are their needs and wants when it comes to the drafting of their will. There is no such thing as a standard will and it is for this reason that wills should not only be carefully drafted but also, more importantly, frequently reviewed.

I am on week two without my therapist.
My beloved therapist has decided to quit her practice and move on to other things. On an interpersonal level, I am happy for her and proud of her. On a patient level I am a little pissed off and frightened.
I was fine last week, and the week before that. And even the week before that. About two months ago, she told me she thought I was ready to be done with therapy, that I didn't even need a referral to someone else in her practice.
And I agreed with her. Mostly.
This is the third time in my life a therapist has told me that I was done. That I was "better." That it was time to move on.
I am still fat.
I am still struggling knowing what to eat. I am still struggling to be happy with myself. I am still struggling forcing myself to exercise. I am still dissecting every day, every meal for what was good and bad about it.
Is this what better looks like?
To be fair, my current therapist made no bones about the fact that we are never "better" never "fixed" never done with our struggle. Just like an alcoholic is always an alcoholic, I will always be recovering from an eating disorder. There is no magic mile marker.
And that's terrifying in and of itself.
Whatever else is going on, I'm definitely having a hard time today. I'm sitting here crying as I type this, but I'm uncertain exactly why.
I feel lost. I feel unmoored. I feel like I don't have a plan. I don't know what my next steps should be.
Almost every day, I think I should go on some sort of diet, some regimen, some eating plan. I think I should make a commitment to do something long term. For the entire summer, or for an entire year. Something. Anything.
I'm grasping. Gasping.
And the thing is, I think I know what my therapist would say. She would tell me that all those plans and protocols were an emotional crutch. That I want to do them to try to lose weight, to try to be different rather than coming to terms with the person I am.
I'm a big believer that you need to address the root causes of things. You can't put a band-aid over a wound and call it OK — when something is still stabbing you. You can't try to treat the symptoms while the disease still rages.
I feel alone, though. I feel confused, and tempted, and like the whole world is conspiring against me sometimes.
Several people have suggested I join OA, but the absolute horror of that has kept me from it. I can't even express the waves of shame that come over me when I think of joining an OA meeting. I'm just not ready for that. I don't know if I ever will be.
And the other half is that I know what they will say. Make different choices. One minute, one meal, one day at a time. It's the same for an alcoholic or a drug addict. (Except that they don't have to face their drug of choice every single day; they can remove it completely from their lives.)
I see frightening thoughts go through my head sometimes. I wonder if I could just stop eating altogether for a while. I wonder if I could focus on eating as little as humanly possible. Luckily, I recognize those little demons for what they are. Plus, if history has taught us anything, I would last about an hour on any kind of deprivation diet before diving head first into a bowl of ice cream.
I've got no answers today. I'm intensely considering calling my therapist. (This is her last week — maybe even her last day.) But I don't want to. I don't want to admit we were wrong.
I'm not better. I never will be.
And today, that's not OK.

I had my wife try to do a first boot of ChemPup-0.1.5 and get through it without any instruction or interference....it didn't go the way I had hoped but nevertheless was a very valuable trial that lead to several improvements. She had significant trouble with the initial Puppy boot since it asks a couple tough questions about hardware configuration: mouse type, and monitor type. It's true, once a windows only user I can attest that determining my screen size and resolution presented some challenge when I first tinkered with DSL. So the first critical change is to provide step-by-step documentation on the initial boot that can be read and printed from the users current Windows OS or otherwise sent as a hard copy.
Once we made it past boot-up, I found that I had serious desktop icon arrangement problems depending on the size screen I booted on. Now I know why Barry K arranged all the icons to the referenced upper left hand corner so it would remain the same no matter the screen size. I made the adjustment. I also changed the GTK them to "stardust" which offered a "windows-like" icon set. Finally I tweaked the main menu, removed unnecessary programs, added descriptions the the chemistry programs and changed the location of the "home" folder.
The genesis of this blog consists of the desire to track personal growth regarding: 1. Deployment of a linux digital audio workstation having the goal and mind-set of inexpensive expression whilst achieving computing and musical maturity. 2. General interests with an emphasis on linux, music, homebrewing, chemistry and some philosophizing. 3. Keeping a journal somewhere that I know I cannot lose it.

You have to try and that's it. City are ready to pull out of the deal and let United have a clear run amid concerns about Arsenal's £35 million asking price and the £5 million fee demanded by Sanchez's agent, per the Guardian's Jamie Jackson and Ed Aarons. "I'm focused on Liverpool". "You could say that at the moment.it's not that I don't want to inform you, I don't want to give you wrong information and at the moment I must say nothing is decided one way or the other".
"It's a very important difference of points, I was there before", Mourinho added.
"This is just my opinion, because in the past City showed if they want to take a player, they go and buy this player". We are now a little bit more than a month away from the Champions League and the team should be also slowly preparing for those challenges.
"For sure, his future will be in a great club". Theo Walcott is another Arsenal player poised to leave this month, with Everton manager Sam Allardyce revealing on Friday that they are hopeful of sealing a permanent deal.
Alexis Sanchez could be heading towards Old Trafford.
Sanchez came close to joining Manchester City in the summer but remained in north London with the Gunners unable to tempt Thomas Lemar into leaving Monaco.
He said: "It looks like Sanchez will not extend his contract". The word we can find to be speaking about players of other clubs.
GETTY Alexandre Lacazette has had to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League
That is not to say United shouldn't go after him though.
And Wenger believes the recent huge hike in transfer fees increases the likelihood of players running down their contracts.
"Spurs are not in the equation, it had been heard that they were linked to him, and what a signing he will be". Concerning the duration of his stay at the club, he said every decision he makes is right for the club.
However, with City only willing to pay £20m in January and considering waiting until the summer, United could swoop in with an offer of over £30m and secure an early transfer. He took his chance, getting the lone goal in the 1-0 win over Spurs in December.
At a press conference to preview Monday's Premier League encounter with Stoke, United boss Jose Mourinho was asked about a possible Sanchez deal.

Setting: We are called to look forward to see and lean into future, not to the calamity of the past. So forgiveness is necessary in life. But how can we forgive others, especially those who hurt us not accidentally but intentionally? What should be the motive of forgiveness?
1. How many times is enough?-
- Reconciliation: Last week's lesson- Peter's Q: How many time is enough? Seven is enough?-
- From the Jewish cultural perspective: Can we forgive more than 3 times?(Amos 1:3) "The Lord proclaims: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I won't hold back the punishment."-
- Jesus replied in v22 "Not just seven times, but rather as many as seventy time seven."-
- Jesus didn't mean 490 times, but he means we should forgive others AGAIN AND AGAIN as we trust the ONE who forgives us AGAIN AND AGAIN.
- Q: Are we living in the life of forgiveness through Jesus?
2.What should be the motive of forgiveness?
- Not just for peace and harmony with others.-
- As followers of Jesus, we do have more profound motive to forgive others.-
- That's what Jesus taught us through a parable of the unforgiving servant.
3. The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant-
- Two servants: one who owed 10,000 talents and another who owed 100 denarius-
- CEB: 10,000 talents – 10,000 bags of gold / Each talent is worth 6,000 days of wages. 10K talents mean 60 Million days of wages. / No way to pay back that amount.-
- Denari: A day's wage for the average worker at that time. 100 days of wages are a lot for the poor but it's not possible to payback if the debtor want to pay back. –
- The one who owed 10K talents has received a totally unexpected gift he didn't even ask. THE REMISSION OF DEBT.- It's DEBT FREE LIFE! –
- But he didn't forgive someone who owed him 100 denarius.
4. Applications of the Parable-
- How about us? How are Christians supposed to forgive?-
- A Q from the hill of the Calvary: Why is Jesus nailed to the cross?" Isn't it for us?-
- John 19:30 "Jesus said, 'it is completed.'" – TELEO in GREEK: "complete, finish, accomplish", also used for paying taxes and debt.-
- What kind of debt is it? It is DEBT WE OWE TO GOD, SOMETHING WE CAN NOT PAY BACK by our efforts and works.- But Jesus PAID IT ALL!
- We forgive not because we are fearful that God is going to be mad if we don't-
- We forgive others not by our generosity but out of humility as a forgiven one.-
- We forgot the gift of grace from time to time.-
- But the GOOD NEWS is when we come to Jesus, He is always ready to forgive us AGAIN AND AGAIN and welcome us.AND GOD WANTS US TO MOVE FORWARD NOT BY VIOLENCE, but BY HEALING, NOT BY JUDGEMENT BUT BY TRUST, NOT BY DESPAIR BUT HOPE, NOT BY DEATH BUT BY A NEW LIFE – A DEBT FREE LIFE!.THANKS BE TO GOD!!!

Brooke Ashley Craig Fatally Shoots Her Boyfriend's 7-Year-Old Son And The Victim's Father Tried To Escape With Her
Brooke Ashley Craig Fatally Shoots Her Boyfriend's 7-Year-Old Son And The Victim's Father Tried To Escape With Her
A popular Instagram model fatally shot her boyfriend's 7-year-old son, and the boyfriend tried to escape with her.
27-year-old Brooke Ashley Craig was arrested on Dec 29 and charged with child murder for shooting 7-year-old Kaden Green, in Greenville, Texas.. Police believe that the boy's father, 24-year-old Cameron Rafael Castillo, had gotten into an argument with his girlfriend Brooke on Thursday, Dec 28. During the argument, Brooke walked out of the house and fired gunshots at her boyfriend's car. Kaden, happened to be in the car and he was hit. A witness quickly took him to the hospital where he later died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Authorities in Greenville were called out to a home in the 4000 block of Pickett Street in Greenville at about 4:45 p.m. in reference to a disturbance but when they arrived, they found nothing. Officers were then told that a child had been taken to a Hunt Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound.
Around 2:45 a.m. on Friday, McKinney police received an alert from Greenville officers to be on the lookout for Brooke. McKinney officers spotted her car leaving a Walgreen's at Hardin Boulevard and Eldorado Parkway and chased it west through several Frisco neighborhoods along Panther Creek, police said.
When police eventually caught up with Brooke, they found Castillo in the passengers seat, trying to get away with her. Brooke faces charges of capital murder and evading arrest, while Castillo faces a parole violation and a drug-dealing charge.
Two other children who were in Castillo's vehicle at the time of the shooting were placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.

As I mentioned in my last post, client Terralsole has been renting their Villa Terralsole and Studio Fonte Lattaia on Airbnb for the last few years with great success. Currently, they are booked from now until the end of September, and, they have a five-star rating. While they are enjoying their success through Airbnb, they wanted to be able to rent the places through their website to avoid the costly commission fees.
Since their wine store and wine clubs are built with WooCommerce, I first went looking for a Woo booking plugin. I found Bookly, installed it, set everything up and though I was well on my way. Wrong! Immediately after everything was set up, it dawned on me that I have potentially created a double booking nightmare for my client. So began my search for a plugin that would allow me to import their Airbnb calendar, and, still be able to make reservations through their website.
One plugin I found was free. Great, we all love free. The only problem, it had the following warning "Using this plugin violates Airbnb's Terms and Conditions." Ran from that one. Several I found wanted a commission fee. Since this is what we were trying to get away from, none of them was an option. I found one on CodeCanyon, that had 212 sales, but nobody was answering the questions that were being posted both by buyers and prospective buyers. Ran from that one also. One company advertised their plugin was "the solution" for syncing Airbnb calendars. After installing the plugin and getting everything setup, no matter what I did I couldn't get it to work. I submitted a support ticket and received an answer back stating that feature was not yet available.
Finally, I found Checkfront. By using Checkfront and Checkfront WordPress Booking Plugin, and a channel management plugin called My Allocator, I achieved my goal. Neither Checkfront nor My Allocator takes a percentage of the rental fee. Both charge flat monthly fees. Checkfront's is $49.00 and My Allocator is $25.00. If you purchase for the entire year, both will give you two months free. Total cost to my client for the first year $650.00.
I will say the My Allocator channel management plugin is not very intuitive. They do have a great support ticket system though. The longest I had to wait for an answer was fifteen minutes. Checkfront also works on a support ticket system and their answer time was also within a fifteen to twenty–minute time period.
In my opinion, if you are trying to combine Airbnb, Expedia, etc., the Checkfront and My Allocator combination plugin system is by far the best solution out there. If anyone has any questions or needs assistance in setting either of these two plugins up, please feel free to contact me.

Clouded Titles-
Most of the readers of Clouded Titles want to know why I don't hold webinars to educate people about real estate and chain of title. My simple answer here is that without two-way interaction, I can't tell if you're getting your money's worth!
We conducted a survey in our last workshop and every attendee there stated unequivocally that being at the workshop:
(1) Gave the attendee a chance to meet and interact with like-minded people;
(2) Gave the attendee a chance to get many of their issues and concerns worked out with a clearer head being away from their home in a relaxed setting; and
(3) The amount of information disseminated at the workshop was worth thousands of dollars to them (all attendees get a COTA Preparers Workbook and a flash drive that holds four years of research files on it)!
I hold COTA Workshops across the country for the purposes of training not only potential preparers and researchers to pursue a career in COTA writing, but also to teach investors how NOT to make mistakes by researching title before they put their hard-earned money into something that may prove to be a disaster down the road. Imagine being able to save tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees merely based on what you know!

Implementation of Nanotechnology in future hybrid cars.
(Modified Fig.-Nanotechnology innovation opportunities for tomorrow's defence)
It is impossible for a single technology to influence almost every major industry around the world. Nanotechnology falls into this category and offers fundamentally unique potential and capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. This technology has the potential to re-define the rules, principle and methods used for developing lighter, stronger, and high-performance structures and processes with unique and non-traditional properties.
In Future vehicles are expected to be lightweight, multipurpose, intelligence-guided, low in energy consumption, greater fuel efficiency, safe and protective for the passengers, comfortable and highly durable & reliable. The following table gives a short overview of possible application fields of nanotechnological functionalities in automotive engineering. In future, we will be able to count on a number of further applications that will concern all branches of the automotive industry and its subcontractors.

Materials -
Nanotechnology enables the following material functionalities:
· Lightweight: high strength nanocomposite plastics are expected to replace metal and thus reduce weight and radar signature
· Smart components: components with built-in condition and load monitoring sensors, in the long term: self-repairing or self-healing materials
· Adaptive structures: active structures that adapt to changing conditions such as adaptive camouflage, suspension, flexible/rigid etc.
· Stealth: radar absorption coatings, camouflage
· Armour: nanoparticle, nanofiber reinforced antiballistic structures, reactive nanoparticle armour, shock absorbing nanotubes
Nano RFID
Information and communication technologies -
· Future vehicles are expected to be equipped with the following features:
· Position sensing and signalling: GPS for navigation and with EAS for tracking and tracing vehicles
· Identification: RFID - tags for remote identification
· Security: radar, bolometer (infrared) for surveillance, and acoustic arrays for sniper detection
· Wireless networks: vehicle internal sensor network will become wireless; connection to distributed external network
· Directional RF communication: micro antenna arrays enable directional radio communication with reduced power and signature
First All-Nanowire Sensor
Remote and unmanned guidance –
With nanotechnology advanced sensor and wireless communication capabilities are becoming possible, e.g. via distributed ad-hoc sensor networks, enabling long -range guidance of all kinds of vehicles. Advanced intelligence can be built-in thanks to the expanding μ-sensor capabilities, integration of sensor functions and information processing power. Especially for military use, continuous effort is put in the development of unmanned and autonomous vehicles e.g. for surveillance. Nanotechnology is crucial here to minimize size, weight and power consumption, important for long range coverage.

Wardens of Iriolan
Iriolan. Our home. A wondrous place with a certainly colorful history. At one point, there was a human golden age, many millennia ago. However, some great cataclysm caused them to fall, and for the Wardens to come from the planes to take over. The Wardens, an ultimate malevolent force, ruled over the humans for hundreds of thousands of years. Some of them ran to the mountains to hide in the great caves, safe in their great walls and thriving in the ore and jewels to be found. Some fled to the grasslands, secure in the thought that they could hide among the trees, cultivating a greater level of society, as they would put it. Some would go to the tundra, comfortable in the fact that the Wardens dared not venture that far north. And some would, of course, be caught, or choose to stay, and become thralls of the Wardens.
Then, those hundreds of thousands of years later, something happened. We call it the Great Crisis, but to us it was no crisis at all. The Warden society fell, and many of them died. They receded into the deepest depths of our world, and none have been seen since. We crawled out of our holes and our trees and our icebergs, and we retook dominion of our continent Iriolan. We crawled out and we found each other vastly different from the humans we once knew. We crowned our Kings, drew our borders, and lived.

I like the color of this lippie in the package, but it looked orange on my lips. I like the little squeeze tube, but the applicator gets a little gross after awhile :(. I don't know, it is okay I guess, but I would not purchase this again. For reference I am NW20 MAC's Studio Fix Powder.

I got this on clearance at the grocery store. Apparently Maybelline changed the packaging on these (Coral Punch is still in the shade lineup, though) so I got the "old" packaging, with the unhygienic fuzzy applicator tip, for 99 cents. I don't like the fuzzy tip and I'm glad the new version has a plastic slant tip a la Juicy Tubes. I digress. The actual product is lovely; don't be scared by the bright peach-orange appearance in the tube. This shade is so sheer that it simply brightens my lips and makes them look rosier. A very flattering effect for a warm-toned PPP. Average lasting power for a gloss, but the shine is very flashy and glassy, which I love!
I did take off one lippie because (a) the pigment and clear gloss base tend to separate in the tube, so that the first squeeze of gloss is clear and you have to waste some to get to the pigment; and (b) it has a vaguely fruity scent ruined by a plasticky chemical undertone. But, not enough to deter me from slapping this on my lips and looking summer-fresh!

I considered buying the product when I saw it in the June 2007 issue of Seveteen Magazine. (on pg. 129 if any of you guys happen to have it)
I'm kind of inbetween beige and golden skin. My lips are a little pigmented.
I'm really impressed with this color. I was kind of hesitant in buying it at first because I didn't think the orangy color would suit me. When I put it on, it kind of made my lips a slightly pinkish color. It did look coral. Not orange, or a bright pink. You can't even feel the glitter! It feels so smooth on my lips. I actually use it to moisturize my lips when I don't have my lip balm on hand.
It's not my HG, but I'd buy it again.

I have an unnatural fear of coral and I can't wear peach lipcolors but I wanted a warm-toned gloss that didn't wash me out or look orange, as many of them do. I found it in this gem, whoohoo! I like most Shiny-licious glosses in general, and this one is no exception. Gives a nice subtle wash of color and shine without screaming "I have coral lipgloss on!" Not sticky and lasts long enough for my needs, plus it seems to moisturize my lips, nice.. It's not your grandma's old coral lipcolor of yesteryear... you know the one. Definitely worth a try if you're in the market for a coral gloss.

If your expecting color then don't buy this.. It was ok but just like any other gloss. Has the same texture of some bonnebell glosses which are cheaper. It isn't sticky at all and almost too moist. Not that I like sticky but this stuff kinda falls off my lips.... Smell is ok but this is nothin to write home about. I like Rimmel jelly glosses smells and textures better and they stay on longer.

I love the Shiny-Licious gloss line. This is a great coral shade that adds a punch of color (pardon the pun) without looking over the top. This and the Melon Ball shade are my favorites. These are great everyday glosses and I would recommend them to anyone.

Oh how I love this! Such a sheer, warm and juicy coral pink with the perfect amount of micro-glitter. Like most other shiny-licious glosses, it lasts longer than most d/s glosses, is relatively not as sticky as say, Lancome' juicy tubes yet has a very nice glassy finish. Most importantly, doesn't leave that crappy white stuff around your mouth when it wears off! I didn't like the entire "flocked" tip thing that these glosses had going on until now - it helps to define my lips so there's no need for lip liner! As far as scent goes, coral punch wins hands down among all the other shiny-licious glosses - sort of like fruit punch, but with a spicy twist- I can't really describe it :) I love wearing this on casual days with a touch of mascara - can't wait to see how this will look with a tan :) And for a price of only 4.99 I will repurchase over and over.

Surprisingly nice. Not a fan of the packaging (I hate these combo. sponge tip/slant tip applicators--they seem unhygenic for some reason), but the gloss is rather nice. "Coral Punch" is a bright, medium coral-pink with a tiny bit of shimmer and a good amount of shine. Brightens up my (PPP-MMM/GGG) face and is a great summer color. Good pigmentation. Has a slight minty tingle/scent that I like and no taste. Texture is like creamy gel, if that makes sense. Not sticky. Decent lasting power. Cheap. What's not to like?
ETA: Just figured out that this looks exactly the same on me as my Bloom l/g in Melon. Whoo-hoo!

I love this gloss, I'm stocking up because it's LE. The color is very unique, I usually can't wear warm lip colors that well but this was so beautiful I had to pick one up. I'd describe the color as a sheer yet noticable warm coral with alot of pink in it and gold shimmer. The slanted foam applicator tip makes applying really easy, and I love the refreshing minty scent.
