Giovanni Maciocia is one of the most highly respected practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Europe. Originally from a medical family in Italy, he trained in England at the International College of Oriental medicine graduating in acupuncture in 1974 after a three-year course. He has been in practice since then.
1980, 1982 and 1987 he attended three postgraduate courses in
acupuncture in China at the Nanjing University of Traditional
Chinese Medicine of the duration of three months each, gaining
invaluable knowledge and clinical experience. He reads Chinese
and has therefore access to all the Chinese medicine textbooks,
old and modern, published in China.
Giovanni Maciocia is the author of "Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine", "The Foundations of Chinese Medicine", "The Practice of Chinese Medicine", "Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine" "Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine" and "The Channels of Acupuncture" which have become textbooks for all major acupuncture colleges in the world. Giovanni has recently finished writing a new book on emotional and mental problems which will be published in 2009 under the title "The Psyche in Chinese Medicine Treatment of Emotional and Mental Disharmonies with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs".
Giovanni also studied Western herbalism and graduated from the National Institute of Medical Herbalists in 1977: he has been practising herbal medicine since then.
In 1996, Giovanni Maciocia was appointed Visiting Professor of the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a foremost teaching institution in China.
Giovanni is the author of many articles published in professional
journals and his article on M.E. (post-viral fatigue syndrome)
has been published in a Chinese medical journal, an honour rarely
bestowed on foreign writers in China. Giovanni has extensive experience
in teaching having taught acupuncture and Chinese medicine since
1974 in several schools all over the world. He is well known for
his rigorous and meticulous style combining a thorough knowledge
of Chinese medicine with 28-years clinical experience. While firmly
rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, Giovanni's ideas are often
innovative as the theories of Chinese medicine need to be adapted
to Western conditions and new Western diseases. For example, Giovanni
ha formulated an innovative and original new theory on the aetiology
and pathology of asthma and allergic rhinitis. He also formulated
a theory on the aetiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment
of M.E. (Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome) entirely from scratch as
this, being a new disease, did not exist in the Chinese literature.
Giovanni has been practising Tai Ji Chuan, Ba Gua
and Xing Yi since 1975. He currently lives and works in Santa Barbara, California where he lectures.
From Dr Ted Kaptchuk's foreword to Giovanni's book Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine:
Giovanni Maciocia is a respected guide in this transition period
of East Asian medicine to the western arena. His accomplishments
as a teacher and writer have made him a major force in this successful
movement from one world to another. "Foundations of Chinese
Medicine", "Practice of Chinese Medicine" and "Tongue
Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine" are all outstanding contributions
of scholarship and clinical acumen, and this present volume "Obstetrics
and Gynaecology in Chinese Medicine" significantly adds to
his accomplishments. Indeed, one begins to see the outlines of
a Maciocia transmission or tradition existing within our very
own generation.
Giovanni's Chinese name is Ma Wan Li (shown at the top
of this page) which means "horse of ten-thousand miles".

Sometimes, I create something simply because it's fun to create it. Today's outfit is that, pure and simple. I've really enjoyed making a variety of patterns for this paper doll. I thought it would be fun to make at least one more. There was also an amazing head wrap on Pinterest that I really wanted to try.
So that's what I've got today. Something fun and bright.
I wanted more bright colors, especially after yesterday's very bright outfit. Aside from that, I had almost no plan for this. Just something bright & pretty.
Tomorrow is it. It's been a fun month!

Thanks! I gotta tell you....Illustrator makes patterns SUPER easy. I created one graphic (in about 30 seconds) and Illustrator did the rest.Delete
Love the headwrap. That came out really well and the pattern is super cool. Great work!ReplyDeleteReplies
The headwraps in this series have been some of the most complicated things I've ever tried in Illustrator. It was great practice!Delete
I've enjoyed this series a lot. They're really beautiful! Thank you so muchReplyDeleteReplies

Going into the theater to see Once the Musical I honestly wasn't expecting much. I didn't see the movie so I had no idea what the story was about, and from what I've seen of the show it didn't look that interesting. WOW I WAS SO WRONG because this musical is beautiful. Simply beautiful. It's simple but so powerful.
I am pretty much obsessed with the soundtrack, but the song I'm the most obsessed with is "Gold" which is sung by Steve Kazee. If I need a song to quickly relax me and put me at ease I will play this song. There's even an a cappella version but that isn't the song for this week. Listen to the album on Spotify or just find it on YouTube.

City Ladies make it three unbeaten with come-from-behind win over Cardiff
Chris Holloway admitted that he was impressed with the 'heart and desire' of his Coventry City team, as they came from behind to beat Cardiff City on Sunday.
Despite falling behind to Ellie Smith's opener at the Bedworth Oval, Danni Saulter netted five minutes before half-time to send the teams in level at the break. Emily Simpkins and debutant Natalie Reay both squandered chances in the second-half, before Reay set up Courtney Sweetman-Kirk to score a last-minute winner, and give Holloway his first FA Women's Premier League victory as manager.
"It was a hard fought performance, as we expected a very tough game," saud Holloway
"We showed the heart and desire to keep going, and we didn't sit back which I think in the end has got us the winning goal. The girls showed great character to come back from a goal down and send us in level at half time. There were plenty of positives and plenty for us to get stuck into, but with these players that's something we will all be ready to do."
It was the first time that the Sky Blues had come from behind to clinch all three points this season, and after developing a habit of letting leads slip during this campaign, Holloway will be pleased with the effort and endeavour that went into earning the victory.
The Coventry City manager felt the Welsh side passed the ball better over the course of the 90 minutes, but was thankful this his team took their chances, and he pointed to the midweek tie between Celtic and Barcelona as a prime example.
"The pleasing thing for me was the girls showed they are not going to be beaten without a fight and they are up for the battle.
"I will continue to say that there is a very good bunch of players and coaches in that dressing room and I'm sure they'll continue to show that in the weeks to come.
"I watched the Celtic and Barcelona game during the week and that showed that controlling the possession looks good on the stats, but you also have to make it count in goals. Cardiff probably passed it better than us today but we took our chances. I'm sure will get better and more confident."
Victory over the Bluebirds took Coventry's winning run to three games in all competitions, and with three tough fixtures to come before the Christmas break – against Leeds, Sunderland and Portsmouth – Holloway is hoping that his team has hit good form at just the right time.
"We have shown glimpses of what we are capable of and – as we know – the Christmas period is a tough one at all levels. Winning breeds confidence, so hopefully the girls will get that bit more belief and will start to get the goals that their play has lacked at times.
"All games are tough at this level as different teams bring different problems and challenges to face. All we will do is concentrate on what we are trying to achieve and give it our all."
Coventry City will make the short journey to Knowle to defend their Birmingham FA Women's County Cup next Sunday. The Sky Blues defeated Kingshurst Sporting Club, Solihull Borough, Leafield Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers and then rivals Aston Villa, to clinch the cup for the first time last year. The Second Round tie will take place at Hampton Lane, and will kick off at 2pm.

Rx – Sample
this post will focus on the Rx Sample operator.
the Sample operation does sampling the observable stream and forward less intensive data stream of the sampled datum.
it can be prove very useful for scenario like handling
accelerometer stream which can produce 60 value per second, in some cases we don't need such intensity and
our machine resources may be happier to handle only 10 value per seconds.
the same may be apply to video stream analytics and many other scenario.
this is how the marble diagram look like:
as you can see, nothing special it is just a time based filtering.
the Sample's API is:
- var xs = Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(0.1));
- var ys = xs.Sample(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30));
the TimeSpan parameter define the sampling rate.
except of the TimeSpan overload the Sample operator
can be triggered upon a custom timing.
custom triggering is done by using an overload which accept IObservable as it sampling trigger.
the following example is using a random stream of data as the Sample trigger:
- var rndStream = Observable.Create<Unit>(obs =>
- {
- var unsub = new BooleanDisposable();
- Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
- {
- var rand = new Random();
- while (!unsub.IsDisposed)
- {
- Thread.Sleep(rand.Next(4000));
- obs.OnNext(Unit.Default);
- }
- });
- return unsub;
- });
- var xs = Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(0.1));
- var ys = xs.Sample(rndStream);
- ys.Subscribe(item => Console.Write("{0}, ", item));
as you can see ,at line 16, the xs stream will be sampled at random rate.
Sample is very straight forward operator which bring the ability of reducing stream intensity in cases which a lower data rate is better.

Since graylog.service depends on mongodb.service that shouldn't be an optional dependency.

@aurifier Oops, fixed that. It has no negative impact on your install btw
aurifier commented on 2017-05-02 16:56
When I installed the package I got the following message:

I haven't yet checked to see if that caused a problem.

@Spider.007 you might be right, however, the build fails with the current PKGBUILD.
==> Install or build missing dependencies for graylog:

Good luck.
Spider.007 commented on 2015-12-05 19:52
@supersym; you're wrong. The <2 is there to prevent upgrading to elasticsearch-2 which Graylog isn't compatible with. If you remove that; it will build & install, but won't work.

If you're a certified dog lover who just got their first dog, chances are you'll go overboard on buying dog supplies. While your enthusiasm is understandable, it is also important for you to understand that you only need to get what your dog needs and not what you want him to have. From the best dog food to the best grooming supplies, you will need to do your research in order to make informed decisions that will let your dog have everything he needs without breaking the bank.
With so many kinds of dog supplies available in the market today, it can be hard to decide between what is necessary and what can be just an extravagance. However, providing the basic needs initially should be a good way to start and determining what those supplies are going to be can be challenging for new owners so to start you off, here are some of the most popular and most-used:
- Dog collars
- Dog leashes
- Dog beds
- Dog kennels/training crates
- Dog toys
- Dog grooming supplies
- Dog bowls
- Dog food
Leashes for one, are basically used to restrain your dog when you take him out for walks or when running errands while collars are used to help identify your dog in case he gets lost. Make note of any leash laws in your area and make sure that your collars always have identification tags on them.
Beds are always a good way to train dogs to have their own space for sleeping and getting the best one will depend on the size of your dog and if he has any kind of back problems that need to be addressed. In the same light, getting dog kennels or training crates is also a must especially if you are housebreaking a new dog. Like dog beds, kennels should make a dog feel secure and safe in order to ensure a successful training.
Dog toys on the other hand, are a perfect way to keep your new dog active and stimulated. They also mimic a canine's natural behaviors of chewing and retrieving and can serve as proper outlets for energetic dogs. It prevents them from developing behavioral problems in addition of course to getting some quality time with you.
Of course, dog grooming supplies are necessary if you are to keep your dog looking good and feeling good. Among the most basic grooming supplies you need to get are dog combs and brushes, nail trimmers, dog shampoo, dog ear care and dog hair clippers. Brushes and combs must be selected based on your dog's hair type. Bristle brushes for example, work for most hair types while wire pin brushes are best for dogs with medium to long hair. Flea combs on the other hand are used to detect fleas hidden deep beneath their fur.
And last but not the least, you must be able to choose your dog food based on your dog's age and if you should give them dry or wet food. Puppies for example, will require high-calorie diets while adult dogs will require low-calorie and high-fiber diets. Some dog owners feel it is best to feed their dog dry food or kibble, because it cleans the teeth better and makes cleaning up after the dogs easier because their stools tend to be harder and more compact than when they eat wet food which is best for dogs with dental and digestive problems, as well as dogs with diabetes.
The most important thing to remember when choosing your dog supplies is to get them from reputable sites owned or managed by registered veterinarians so that you can be sure you're getting the right supplies as recommended by the best experts. You can check here for more about dog supplies and to learn more tips, advice and suggestions on how to give Fido the best of everything.

Apple and Samsung, the two leading manufacturers of smartphones are in never ending race of bringing best on best for their customers. Where Apple offers newest technology, Samsung offers some amazing feature but in less price. Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 are the two hottest phones of Apple and Samsung at the current point. Where both these phones have some qualities they also have some drawbacks. Apple claims that its devices are always better than Samsung's devices, however there are few things which Note 4 can do but iPhone 6 can't. Here have a look at it:
- Galaxy Note 4 With Its S Pen
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was among those devices which introduced the ideal of phablet. After launch of Note 4 Apple announced its iPhone 6 Plus having same size. So its note's size which makes it unique but it is the S Pen which comes along Note 4 which makes it superior to other such phablets. Though S Pen has remained a part of Note series but with Note 4 we get its revised and improved version. The new S Pen now comes with the support of more than 2,000 levels of pressure sensitivity. The S Pen lets you do a lot of things including faster navigation to smooth paper pen like writing experience. Once you get used to of S Pen, working with fingers seems much boring.
- Removable Battery
Well you can't take out most from your smartphone unless you are satisfied with its battery life. However sometimes you are on long trips and don't get a chance to recharge your phone, in this case if you own Galaxy Note 4 you don't have to worry at all. It comes with a high capacity 3,220 mAh battery but if you still run out of it you can always replace it with another fully charged battery. All you have to do is pop open its back cover, take out the battery and replace it with a new one. Apple does not give you the option of removing or replacing your battery so you have to stick with its fixed battery.
- MicroSD Memory Cards
Even though Galaxy Note 4 comes with spacious internal storage but still Samsung gives you the option of expanding your storage up to 128GB by means of a memory card. Movie lovers can now easily store their favourite movies in their smartphone. However iPhone 6 also comes with 128GB of storage but you have to pay a fortune for that.

Science fiction and fantasy have always been ideal genres for exploring controversial political, religious, and philosophical ideas. The absurdity of circumstance in which such stories are set serve to detach an audience from reality, creating a kind of hypothetical laboratory for exploring thoughts which might be rejected elsewhere.
As a libertarian conservative and a life-long Star Wars fan, I was somewhat taken aback by 2005's culminative installment Revenge of the Sith. Politics had dominated much of the prequel trilogy, but had been kept within the context of the story. Sith was different, as New York Times film critic A. O. Scott noted.
Mr. Lucas is clearly jabbing his light saber in the direction of some real-world political leaders. At one point, Darth Vader, already deep in the thrall of the dark side and echoing the words of George W. Bush, hisses at Obi-Wan, 'If you're not with me, you're my enemy.' Obi-Wan's response is likely to surface as a bumper sticker during the next election campaign: 'Only a Sith thinks in absolutes.'
Indeed, Lucas has indicated on more than one occasion an underlying leftist sympathy which shaped his popular saga. As a fan, I find this ironic, since my perception of Star Wars has always affirmed my conservative ideals. Here are a handful of elements from the saga which propagate principles of the Right.

On 01 December 2017, AIA President Les Bradley was awarded with an Honorary Professorship during his recent visit to Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance. The AIA president visited the University along with the AIA Regulatory Strategy Manager, David Potts. They were greeted by the Secretary, Vice President and Dean of the university.
The AIA, celebrating its 20th year anniversary of entering China, has developed a strong mutual relationship with the Shanghai Lixin University, working in conjunction to combine excellent financial concepts with China's advanced educational culture to bring out professional talents with a global vision.
Commenting during the visit, Secretary of Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance Li Shi Ping, said: "Shanghai is currently in a pivotal period of transition froma regional financial centre to a worldwide financial centre. The Chinesenational development and reform commission clearly pointed out that Shanghai has to strengthen the financial Talent Service platform construction, improve financial personnel service policy".
In 2016, Shanghai Lixin University of Commerce and Shanghai Finance University merged into Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance. Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance was relocated from Song Jiang campus to the new campus of Pu Dong, which in turn has provided improved facilities and a larger campus to train more international professional financial talent.
During the visit AIA were pleased to award Shanghai Lixin University Vice President, Gu Xiao Min with honorary membership to the AIA for services to the accounting and financial education sector.
Upon receiving the honorary membership, Gu Xiao Min said: "Thank you to the AIA for this humbling award. The University has worked closely with AIA for many years. The AIA curriculum system and the training methods are highly recognised by the university. I hope we can maintain this relationship, which will help in the process of cultivating more outstanding professionals in society."
AIA President Les Bradley also commented: "On a personal note I would like to thank Lixin University for awarding me with an honorary professorship. It is fantastic to see and play an active role in what the AIA have achieved in China over the past 20 years. As an 89-year-old globally recognised accounting certification body, AIA has been working to create an international accounting system that covers a wide range of countries. Changes in Shanghai over recent years have been wonderful to see, with more and more Chinese students passing through the AIA syllabus."
In a remarkable coincidence both Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting & Finance and AIA will be celebrating their 90th anniversaries next year, as both were founded in 1928. To celebrate this achievement both parties have invited each other to witness the milestone occasion at their respective celebrations.

Well…I'm afraid I'm going to be a bad blogger this week (especially since I'm already late with this post) and say that I was simply too busy to write anything.
In my defense though, I went to a few new dive sites and finished up my divemaster internship (YAHOO)!
Tune in soon…I plan on doing a review of all the dive sites I've been privileged enough to visit over the last few weeks!
In the meantime, I'm gearing up for 10 days of downtime throughout Bali, as well as a quick jaunt over to Komodo.
I'm going to miss diving here, but I'm also excited to get back to my drysuit in Canada. 🙂

Now that the small talk is out of the way, on to business. Although I haven't been posting anything, a lot has been happening. First, the microscope I previously mentioned never came, but eBay refunded me. However, my room-mate bought a metallurgical microscope with USB camera, so I'm better off than ever. Being off campus now, I also have less restrictions and don't have to deal with RA BS and such. One perk of my apartment is that I got some lab space in an area that's being remodelled. Its going to go away in January, but I'm hopefully moving out then anyway, so that shouldn't really effect me. The end effect of this is that I'm finally getting a chance to do all of the stuff I wanted to before and actually have some time and space to try things out.
I've imaged a bunch more IC pictures. In particular, I have images of discrete transistors, fully delayered 7404 hex-inverter, and other ICs.
After delayering a few 7400 series ICs, I've realized I had in fact been at the transistor layer before, but just didn't understand what I was looking at. Probably bad been confused by all of the MOS pictures I had seen? In any case, I tried a 74163, but found it was too complex to start with. I could only recognize a handful of components. A few days ago I delayered a 7404 which should provide a much cleaner reference circuit since its small and more or less split into 6 regular units. Unfortunately, I let it sit for a while without agitating it, so it crystallized a bit, but should be fine for my purposes.
Finally, I'm interviewing with various companies and looking for a job, so if you think you might be interested in me, feel free to send me an e-mail at JohnDMcMaster

and although it says FREEDOM,
it looks more like anger to me. ;)
There will be more art
in the coming days/weeks
(I'm hoping art that's worthy of sharing!)
but for now,
I'd love to share a bit of my summer with you!
This beach is about 20 minutes from my home,
called L'ABOITEAU.
This man (in the sky!) was sitting on a motorized chair,
and he flew himself back & forth across the beach
for long stretches of time.
Just a little buzzing sound in the sky...
like a giant mosquito.
Swimmers on the left of the wharf,
fishermen on the right.
(the fisherWOMEN are drinking wine on that tour boat). ;)
aka "Quebec poutine".
and exotic wooden sculptures from Bali
and other places in the world
and paintings and jewelry and a garden
an art gallery and delicious food.
My son Alex and I took a ride there yesterday.
It takes less than 2 hours to get there,
so a nice way to spend the afternoon.
I love this place.
a lovely spiral staircase...
and incredible wood carvings.
There are several levels to the gallery
and a few lookout points,
so more beautiful staircases.
part of the beautiful garden
...some of the stone sculptures,
all very serene, wouldn't you say?
These beautiful blues & pinks
just made me "oooo" and "aaaaah".
some of the handmade wooden benches & chairs...
The gallery/café/pottery studio/lookout point
to sit here.
So i hung out here for a while
right after I took this picture. :)
all you need is love
a lamp made with small seashells...
happy dancing Buddhas
These beautiful spirals are made with magazine pages,
all folded & rolled & glued together!
Someone has far more patience than I do. :)
What beautiful things we can make
with time and gentle hands...
gorgeous wooden sculptures,
all for sale at different price points.
And I took this one as we were leaving,
but now that I see it here,
it looks like he's pooping a block of cement! LOL!
It's really just another stone sculpture behind him.
I guess I should have taken the photo from a different angle.
Funny how I never saw it when i took the photo,
and now, it's ALL I see. :)
So the days are already getting shorter here,
and I'm finally done my office job,
and the company's all gone,
and although I loved seeing everyone,
I am always so relieved
when fall is just around the corner.
It's my favorite season
and one that is always filled
with renewed energy.
I cannot WAIT to catch up with on-line friends
and start making art more consistently again
and spending more time in my little blue room
and doing yoga and reading
and BREATHING again.
Because life should never just be
about working & paying the bills.
My new motto.
You can borrow it if you want.
You're welcome.

Getting Kali Linux on a Cubieboard
Here's an abbreviated tutorial for getting Kali Linux (1.0ish) running on a Cubieboard. (In case you're wondering, Kali is the successor to BackTrack.) I use Berryboot as the bootloader, which allows us to multiboot and use compressed file systems (>50% … Continue reading

This is another cross-blogging venture with writer and blogger Christine Poulson, where we read the same book and each write our own thoughts – see an earlier example here - or make lists of books on our favourite themes – try this one.
This time, the book is one that Chrissie has long loved, but was completely new to me. It is set in the Canadian city of Quebec as the 17th Century ends, and Chrissie took it with her to re-read when she recently visited Quebec – but I'll let her tell her own story in her own post, which you can find here.
Shadows on the Rock by Willa Catherpublished 1931
[Cecile is out in Kebec/Quebec with her young friend Jacques, in the snow of December]
'Are you tired, Jacques?'
'A little, my legs are,' he admitted.
'Get on the sled and I will pull you up. See there's the evening star – how near it looks! Jacques, don't you love winter?' She put the sled-rope under her arms, gave her weight to it, and began to climb.
A feeling came over her that there would never be anything better in the world for her than this; to be pulling Jacques on her sled, with the tender, burning sky before her, and on each side, in the dusk, the kindly lights from neighbours' houses. If the Count should go back with the ships next summer, and her father with him, how could she bear it, she wondered. On a foreign shore, in a foreign city (yes, for her a foreign shore), would not her heart break for just this? For this rock and this winter, this feeling of being in one's own place, for the soft content of pulling Jacques up Holy Family Hill into paler and paler levels of blue air, like a diver coming up from the deep sea.
commentary: Cecile came to French Canada as a very small child: she is now 12 and it is 1697. Willa Cather is always very good on migration, and on what makes a place home. Cecile's father is always intending to go back to France; her mother died before she had the chance. Cecile doesn't want to go, but fears she will have to.
The book covers just over a year in her life (with a splendidly satisfyingly epilogue explaining what happens to everyone), starting at the point in autumn when the last ships leave Kebec, as it is called in the book, before the city is cut off: the residents know they will have to survive on what they have till spring, and that there will be no news, supplies, packages or letters from France for many long months. (The chapter, late in the book, when the ships appear in spring is one of the best in the book – it is joyful and detailed and a complete delight).
We follow Cecile round her daily life: her father is the apothecary, known to everyone in the town. The important people are the Count who is the Governor (the man who brought Cecile's family out there); and the two feuding Bishops. But Cecile and her father also know everyone else, from backwoodsmen to little Jacques, the son of a woman of low moral fibre. (Cather is a lot less forgiving of the mother than of anyone else in the book. She can show endless understanding of many people, sins and crimes – but when she takes against one of her creations there is no hope).
As in so many great books, nothing much happens. She shows us the rhythm of the year, the small vanities and sillinesses of people, the slight snobberies and the class system. Religion plays an important part - it is central to life there, to most of the people. And there are the nuns, who are cheerful because they form their own world of friends and saints. But then there is a very sad story of a religious recluse, who leaves the world behind along with the man who loves her. The story where he sees her in church many years later is haunting and terrible.
There is an odd diversion when Cecile goes to stay with another family out in the country: she turns into a priggish young madam – the local children tell her about 'peculiarities of animal behaviour which she thought it better taste to ignore' and she hates every minute. She comes home early, and her beloved father 'did not seem so overjoyed as Cecile had thought he would be'. The whole episode is quite unlike the rest of the book – the father's lack of enthusiasm is not further explained and seems out of character. There's a moment when you wonder if Cecile isn't all she's meant to be, but perhaps Cather decided not to go in that direction.
Along the way she tells the backstories of many of the characters. It is amazingly well-done, and wholly convincing: you feel that IS what it was like. The writing is lovely, though the language sometimes seems as though it was translated from the French: perhaps that is Cather's respect for the language they all spoke.
As must be obvious, I loved the book, and am very grateful to Chrissie for bringing me to it. It doesn't seem to be well-known – I downloaded a massive bundle of Cather's work to my Kindle in the hope of finding it, but it wasn't there. But it is well worth seeking it out.
And now I will be very interested to find out what Chrissie says about it, and what it was like re-reading it actually in Quebec… and here is her post, do go and read it.
It wasn't an easy task to look for pictures illustrating Quebec at this time. The two snowy landscapes show the area more than 100 years later, but give a feel for the place.
The two portraits - the man is an apothecary, like Cecile's father - are both by the same artist, Gabriel Metsu, from earlier in the 17th century, and are European, but again seemed to have a look as to how Cecile and her father might have been… and clothes and styles presumably would take some time to come across to Canada.
All four pictures from the Athenaeum.
The Apothecary and the Kitchen Maid by Gabriel Metsu.
Early Winter on the St. Anne's, below Quebec, and Hebitant Sleigh, View near the Canada Line both by Cornelius Krieghoff.

600 Mhz Repacking
What are folks doing about transitioning wireless mics off the 600 Mhz bands?
Here in Miami we are VERY limited on available space for UHF mics.
What's the plan for your city/market?
Omar Sobrino
"History is mostly guessing, the rest is prejudice."
Will (1885-1981) and Ariel Durant (1898-1981), American historians.
I'm honestly a little confused. 700Mhz was "clear out" coast to coast. 600Mhz seems to still be dependent on market to market of what will be off limits.
But is that for just that market? So if you go to the next city over it might still be free?
there are two types of film students:
those who make bad movies
& those who don't make any
My understanding is that after the Frequency Auctions, nearly all of the 600 MHz range is transitioning from Broadcast TV to wireless data carriers and will be off limits and subject to substantial interference from 5G high speed wireless broadband. The end date is in 2020 but we are phase two here in Miami and testing begins next year.
That means that TV bandwith after the auction becomes:
VHF 54MHz-180MHz channels 2-13
UHF 470MHz-608MHz channels 14-36
UHF 608Mhz-614MHz channel 36 Radio Astronomy
UHF 614MHz-698.00MHz channels 38-51 Wireless Broadband/5G
UHF 698MHz-806MHz channels 52-69 already illegal in US.
All but three of our wireless mics are in Blocks 24 and 25 (614.400-665.500 MHz) and will thus be illegal to use coast to coast or close to it after the 2020 date and sooner in my home market.
We are considering jumping in a loophole by taking up space in the "duplex gap" between the uplink and downlink frequencies of the broadband service. (653.000ish-663.000ish MHz in Block 25). I am very curious to hear if others are planning to use the gap or the tiny sliver of guard band between 614.000 and 616.000MHz. Has anyone seen any of the numbers or science on potential interference?
Loosing the 600 MHz band is a big, expensive and frustrating problem for us, and I expect, others.
The new normal is gonna be a nightmare of Frequency Coordination. Between our photogs and trucks we have become accustomed to cutting wide swaths of bandwidth at big events. Finding clean-space in those big scrums could get frustrating.

2 Cities Launch 3G Today
According to T-Mobile, 2 new cities are now seeing 3G speeds on their handsets. The first: St. Louis, MO. As one of the U.S's largest cities, St. Louis customers have been waiting patiently (or not so much) for quite some time for the launch of 3G in the St. Louis market. Interestingly enough, T-Mobile Forum Employees had this to say:
"While our 3G equipment is deployed in many more markets than we currently offer 3G services, there are other factors that are beyond our control. There are government agencies (both local and national) still using the frequency spectrum we'll use to provide 3G."
The 2nd city to get 3G flipped on today was Spokane, WA. Anyone just start picking up 3G recently? Let us know!
This information was posted hours ago in our FORUMS. To stay up-to-date on all T-Mobile news, ask questions, see device reviews, trips, and tricks, head on over to our forums!

Terms for participation in proceedings for the award of a public procurement as an element in the prevention of pathology in economic activityContact between the sphere of the civil service and the private sphere creates a potential risk of the occurrence of pathologies manifesting chiefly in attempts at influencing individuals holding public posts. Proper management of public property in the process of awarding contracts is possible only through definition of terms for participation in proceedings. There is therefore no doubt that the institution of contractor exclusion may be counted among the instruments for prevention of pathologies in economic activity. The legislator has provided for powers for the awarding entity thanks to which it is able to exclude some contractors from proceedings. The purpose of the solutions discussed in the article is ensuring the participation in proceedings of those contractors which are best and are credible, and which present good and honest bids.

In the digital age, everything revolves around data. In business applications, a loss of data will cost you time and money, customers, lawsuits, and even your entire business. This is not mere conjecture: it is fact! For this reason, we employ backups of our data to keep operations running smoothly always.
In this post, we shall delve into which data should have a backup and why. We shall debunk several myths people have about their data backup. Lastly, we shall identify best practices for data backup.
Why Does Data Backup Matter?
Simply put, Data Backup is a copy of sensitive and central data stored in a secured location. As new data comes in, it should be backed up immediately. If the original data is lost or corrupted, all is not lost and your business can continue its everyday business.
Why might data ever get lost or corrupted? Nowadays, it is cyber warfare and hackers that induce attacks on data systems. These attacks account for 47% of all data loss events. Human error clocks in at nearly a third, with 29%. Finally, the remaining quarter of events is systematic error or glitch. With a 400 percent increase in data loss events since 2012, data backup has never been more important.
Ponemon Institute LLC conducted a study covering 413 companies in 13 countries. What they found was mind-numbing: these companies suffered average total costs $3.62 million dollars when data was lost or corrupted. Furthermore, on average each breached customer account or individual file cost them about $141 in total.
2017 Per capita cost of data breach compared to last 4-year average
According to Gartner's research, nearly 43 percent of all businesses would fail immediately if they lost all of their data. With such a catastrophic event, these businesses would lose their electronic invoices and email records. Client accounts, contract status, the accounts payable, all out the door. Marketing, sales, and commission plans would exist only on paper schematics. Human Resources and the payroll department would be paralyzed. The kind of trouble only deep pockets can save you from.
None of that is of our concern, however, provided our data is backed up. So let's take a look at what data should be backed up.
What Should You Backup?
Let us consider what kind of data should be a priority for backup. To begin with, you absolutely need to backup the backup. For instance, business websites should secure at least 2 copies of contents, databases, and emails.
In general, operating systems can be easily replaced and may not need backup. Same goes for most software programs. The only caveat exists when you are using customized settings. In that case, take a storage snapshot at the moment that the settings were customized. It serves as the default state for the program to return to after a system crash or system file corruption.
As we continue, let's debunk the myths about data backup with some cold facts featured in the following infographic.
Infographics: Myths Vs Facts About Backup
Whether it's human error or a malicious software attack, data backup is the best response to mitigate the fallout of data breach.
Best Backup Practices
- Choose a Backup Storage & Backup Location
- Choose a Reliable Backup Automation System
- Secure Multiple Backup Copies
- Set an Appropriate Backup Frequency
- Test Your Backup
#1. Choose A Backup Storage & Backup Location
Be sure to keep your actual data and its backups on a different server. In the event of a server crash, your backup is worthless if it is right beside your data. Therefore, store your backup offsite.
A perhaps more obvious upside to storing your backup offsite is that it is safe from hardware failure that may affect your primary data.
The most commonly used backup service provider is Sucuri Backup Service. Within Content Management services like WordPress, backup plugins are a sure way to secure your data.
#2. Choose A Reliable Backup Automation System
It is of paramount importance to have automated backups. Manual systems leave huge margins for human error.
Automated backups can not only provide insulation from human error, but flexibility and consistency with the details of the backup.
An example of this flexibility can be observed in the ability to set multiple recovery points, so there are more options of which default state to restore the system to. A great example of this is CDP Backup service.
#3. Secure Multiple Backup Copies
Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy. It cannot be overstated enough: always secure secondary and tertiary copies of the backup.
It is not a question of being overzealous. Given the stakes and cost of what happens without a backup, It is an incredibly simple yet effective measure against data loss or breach.
#4. Set an Appropriate Backup Frequency
Given your business and its digital expanse, the amount of times you'll want to run a backup will vary. It is critical to identify that ideal frequency that minimizes risk without causing too much inconvenience to business as usual.
Let's compare two very different situations. On one hand we have an online art gallery that mostly collects revenue in the form of ad-buys. Because the site has a simple and static layout, it makes more sense to do weekly backups. An E-commerce site on the other hand, with many transactions every day, would demand a daily or even hourly backup frequency.
#5. Test Your Backup
An untested backup is about as useful as a parachute with a hole in it. Be sure to run tests on your backup. Create a testing site if you have to. Try to restore the backup. Once your backup has successfully restored your system, you can breathe easy.
Just like any other administrative task, if managed inefficiently data backup can seem like a huge waste of time. That is why one of the main takeaways from this piece should be to identify the appropriate frequency for your needs.
In discussing recent studies on data breach and common myths vs facts about data backup, we saw how costly it can be not to backup data. After, we reviewed best practices for managing data backup.
Finally, questions, concerns, or your own stories about data backup can be added comments section below.

Somewhere Else
Author: Gus Gordon
Penguin House
About the book
From award-winning author and illustrator Gus Gordon comes this irresistible story about a duck called George, the possibility of adventure, and taking risks to realise what you value most. George has no interest in exploring the world. He's far too busy at home baking fine pastries. Or so he tells everyone when they invite him along on their wonderful adventures. But when his friend Pascal digs a little deeper, the real reason George won't leave home is finally revealed . . .
About the author
Gus Gordon is an internationally award-winning illustrator/author. Wendy was a 2010 CBCA Notable Book. Herman and Rosie (2013's Read for Australia book) and Somewhere Else (2017 CBCA Notable Book) have both have been internationally acclaimed. The Last Peach will be published in April 2018 in Australia and the US.
Judges' Comments
George, unlike every other bird, does not fly away each winter. Instead he prefers to stay home and bake. His friends try several times to persuade him to change his mind without success. When the reason for George's refusal to go somewhere else is revealed his well-meaning but inept friend Pascal helps him find an unusual and satisfying solution. This gentle tale about individuality is a multi-layered lesson in friendship, ingenuity, kindness and cooking. It is told with Gordon's signature humour and understatement. Using his well-regarded collage techniques he interweaves many meanings and images in carefully designed pages that engage the reader. He gives time and significance to important moments in the story using white space, colour and vignettes for emphasis. The muted colour scheme, the vintage collage items and the French setting combine to create a story with lasting and universal appeal.

The folks and I took a drive up to Richards Bay over the weekend to go and visit the brother in his new "bachelor pad" - within four minutes of arriving, the parents were cleaning. On Friday eve the brother took us out for dinner to one of the local Richard's Bay restaurants.
Two things are amazing about this:
1. The brother taking us out: high five for little brother's having money to burn aka "first real job".
2. Local restaurants of Richard's Bay: It's spelled "Richard's Bay" but really it should be spelled "Richaaards Baaai". For those of you who are not familiar with Richard's Bay or South Africa in general - let me give you a quick catch up: Richaaaard's Baaai: land of Afrikaans tannies (aunties) wearing gold and pearls with crocheted shawls and plastic-leather wedge shoes. However, it appears that shoes are indeed optional. Restaurant menus spell words such "omellets" and malls declare that there will be absolutely "NO SCATE BOARDS". And there you have it.
On Saturday we took a drive into Hluhluwe-iMfolozi where we had booked a night to stay. We used to live near the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi reserve when I was younger - so it was a great reminiscing trip! There is something so magical about being in the African bush. (For our honeymoon, Warr took us to Exeter Game lodge near Sabi Sands - it was INCREDIBLE! I have never seen game like I did on that trip!)
We stopped off at a Game Hide and spent ages watching all the birds, leguaans and terrapins interacting and then a rhino came down for a drink -
I only had my 50mm lens with me (which is the very dumb thing to do when you are visiting a game reserve - but it was a surprise trip for me and I left our zoom lens in the UK). Most of these pics are off my dad's new Nikon Coolpix p510 - which I am actually very impressed with!
I wasn't feeling great that afternoon during our drive so as we drove back to our lodge - I ended up lying down in the back of the car. The next thing the whole family yelped for me to wake up as we had literally turned the corner and almost driven slap bang into a cheetah who was standing on the middle of the road. It is very uncommon for us to have sighted it so close to our car and so completely lucky that we happened to be at exactly the right spot at the right time. After she ran off into the bushes - we completely lost her as they are so well camouflaged.

We also write for fifteen to twenty minutes each lesson. This writing is done in a separate book to their lesson work. It is an opportunity to explore and play with language and is a chance to write what they want to write. Read about how I set this up and where I got my inspiration in my post, Spilling Ink.
Each lesson they are given the option to:
- write something they need to write about
- re-work or continue with something they have previously written
- use the writing prompt.
I provide a new writing prompt each week - and they can write a poem, a list, a story, a letter, a speech, a script - whatever they want.
Some prompts I have used so far this year are:-
Read about my adventures last year, with Rip the Page, which I hope to continue to explore this year.
In the past, I have also used music, art or video to inspire and prompt. This morning I was exploring Vimeo and found this wonderfully simple yet incredibly clever little animation. This is going to be my prompt for this week... I hope it inspires some interesting and thoughtful writing.

More than Fifty Women Lawmakers, Leaders, and Organizations Respond to Governor Cuomo with Letter Urging Action on Paid Family Leave
Contact: Emma Woods, firstname.lastname@example.com, 646-200-5303
Signers, Including Advocates for Women's Equality Agenda, Refute Governor's Recent Statement that Albany has "No Appetite" for Paid Family Leave Legislation
Letter Comes on the Heels of Senate Republicans' Inclusion of Paid Family Leave Program in Budget Proposal
New York, NY – Fifty-seven women lawmakers, leaders, and organizations have signed an open letter to Governor Cuomo urging immediate action on paid family leave. Released today by the New York Paid Family Leave Insurance Campaign, the letter addresses the Governor's recent comment that there is "no appetite" for paid family leave legislation in Albany.
The letter comes on the heels of news that the Senate Republicans would include a paid family leave program in their budget proposal, and participate in a joint hearing of the Labor and Social Service committees that will address paid family leave later this week.
Women elected leaders who signed the letter include Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson, Senator Liz Krueger, Senator Velmanette Montgomery, Senator Toby Ann Stavisky, Assembly Member Shelley Mayer, Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, Assemblywoman Addy Russell, Assemblywoman Michaelle C. Solages, New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, New York City Public Advocate Letitia James, and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. They are joined by the Women's Equality Coalition, League of Women Voters of New York State, and the leaders of organizations championing equal pay, reproductive rights, access to childcare, and more.
"Albany's appetite for change, you stated, is satiated by other policies that seek to advance women's equality, and which deserve to be addressed first. We respectfully disagree," the letter reads.
"As women lawmakers, representatives of women's organizations, and advocates for the Women's Equality Agenda, we write to tell you that New Yorkers are, in fact, quite hungry for paid family leave, and the economic security it would bring to our communities and our families. The time for this issue has come. New York should step forward as a leader."
The letter goes on to note that New York could easily become the next state to implement paid family leave. Like the three states that already have paid family leave – California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island – the program could piggyback on New York's existing Temporary Disability Insurance fund (TDI).
"Unlike other states working hard to find money to create a new paid family leave program, New York has an existing structure that can easily be expanded to include care of new children and family members. Creating this program will cost our state nothing, while providing critical support for families," the letter goes on to say.
Read the letter in its entirety below:
Dear Governor Cuomo,
We write in response to your recent remarks that New York lacks the "appetite" to pass paid family leave legislation. Albany's appetite for change, you stated, is satiated by other policies that seek to advance women's equality, and which deserve to be addressed first.
We respectfully disagree. As women lawmakers, representatives of women's organizations, and advocates for the Women's Equality Agenda, we write to tell you that New Yorkers are, in fact, quite hungry for paid family leave, and the economic security it would bring to our communities and our families. The time for this issue has come. New York should step forward as a leader.
From wage discrimination to paid family leave, policies that advance gender equity work in tandem. Indeed, the lack of paid family leave is a key contributor to women's lower pay and inequality, and it further impacts fathers, seniors, newborns, the chronically ill, and our economy as a whole.
Why paid family leave now? Because, as our President rightfully recognized in his State of the Union address, the U.S. is "the only advanced country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick leave or paid maternity leave to our workers."
Because voters on both sides of the aisle overwhelmingly agree on the issue, and that government has a responsibility to provide such policies that reflect the realities of modern families. Statewide, 7 out of 10 voters support modernizing our Temporary Disability Insurance system to provide paid family leave, according to a Marist poll. In NYC, support has grown to 84%, with the latest Community Service Society/Lake survey finding that 2 out of 3 New Yorkers strongly support paid family leave.
Because doctors have found that policies allowing family members to be with their loved ones through an illness are good for the health of their patients; and because economists know it keeps women in the workforce and increases their earning potential – without hurting businesses small or large.
And because New York is the only state besides Hawaii that has a Temporary Disability Insurance program that has not been expanded to include paid family leave. Unlike other states working hard to find money to create a new paid family leave program, New York has an existing structure that can easily be expanded to include care of new children and family members. Creating this program will cost our state nothing, while providing critical support for families.
Paid family leave would ensure that no New Yorker has to choose between the health and economic stability of her family. It would mean that the major life moments we all share – the arrival of a new child, or a close relative needing care – do not have to mean debt or bankruptcy.
As a national consensus grows around the issue, the appetite for paid family leave in New York State only grows. And thus, we call on you to join us in supporting and pressing for a paid family leave policy that not only advances women, but all of New York.

And they're off! Literally moments after officially launching Create Media Ventures at MIPTV, managing director Vanessa Chapman announced an ambitious lead-off co-production partnership that should keep the company very busy for the next six months. Create has hooked up with Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment, which masterminded the Pop Idol hit format, to produce a new 2-D animated, music-based TV show called Hipster & Jack for the six to 11 set.
Currently in pre-production, the 26 x 13-minute series will star a unique odd couple – a hippo and a Jack Russell terrier – who travel around the world in a Winnebago trying to make it big in the music business. 'Although they're very talented musicians, they just can't seem to catch a break,' explains Chapman, who was global controller of programming and strategy for Create TV & Film before she bought the company from Lego in March.
19 Entertainment originally created the characters for a preschool audience and brought in the Create team to flesh the idea out into a full-on TV concept with legs to grow into an international music brand.
Bringing together writers from the U.S. and the U.K., the program will channel the classic Looney Tunes technique of using music as an integral part of the action – in this case, current pop music created by 19′s composers. 'Simon and his team of music writers will be working closely with our animators and script-writers throughout each episode's construction to ensure it's not just an excuse to release music,' Chapman says.
The show is in early development, with Create currently working up three animatics to test the interplay of characters, comedy, design style and music. Once these core elements are jibing, Chapman plans to start meeting with potential distribution, licensing and broadcast partners. And if all goes according to plan, Hipster & Jack will head into production shortly after MIPCOM. As a testament to the strength of Create's kids programming, Cartoon Network US not only recently picked up 52 existing episodes of Little Robots for its Tickle U preschool block, but also 13 new ones that are in production for CBBC.
In other Create news, the company has entered into a co-development deal with Good Story Productions, a brand-new U.K. kids studio started up by former Create executive producer Bob Thompson. Good Story will continue to manage the Bionicle brand, while giving Chapman a first look at any original IPs that it develops in-house.

The following is drawn from a white paper issued by the Centre for Spatial Law and Policy
There has been a great deal of attention paid recently to the privacy issues associated with the collection, use and distribution of personal information by technology companies. For example, Facebook has come under increased scrutiny for the complexity of its privacy settings and for its policies for sharing customer information with third parties. Google has been scrutinized over its Street View collection and also is currently involved in civil litigation on the matter. In addition, Twitter recently entered into a comprehensive and broad-based consent order with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding its information security practices. The Wall Street Journal covered these and other issues in a week-long series found here. (See here for the article in the series on "cyberstalking").
The privacy associated with location data has been part of this broad discussion. For example, in February the House of Representative held hearings specifically on location privacy as part of a broader review of internet privacy. These hearings resulted in Representative Rick Boucher (D-VA) and Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL) each drafting proposed legislation to protect consumer personal data. Both of these bills defined "precise geolocation information" as sensitive information that is subject to greater regulation with regards collection and use. In addition, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) recently announced that he was preparing legislation to protect consumer privacy
However even in the absence of definitive legislation, companies that collect, use or distribute consumer location data should expect increased scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act grants the FTC broad enforcement authority to protect consumers from unfair trade practices. The FTC appears to have expanded its enforcement actions to protect customer data other than traditionally sensitive information such as credit card information or social security numbers. For example, in a recent enforcement action against Twitter, the FTC found that Twitter failed to provide "reasonable safeguards to protect user information from unauthorized users". This information included passwords to send messages ("tweets") but not sensitive personal information. The FTC is apparently trying to warn businesses that even non-sensitive data must be protected if it is stored in a non-public place. (It is also important to note that some of the breaches occurred when Twitter was in its start-up phase)
Given the recent media attention on privacy concerns associated with location data and recent efforts in Congress, it is fair to assume that the FTC is scrutinizing what authority it has with respect to location data. As a result, companies that collect or use location data should begin to closely monitor FTC enforcement actions related to the protection of personal data. In addition, they should consider developing an information security program with respect to such data. Such a program may not only be required by the FTC in the future, but is also good business practice in today's environment.

Sarah Palin Says No To A Run For President [VIDEO]
After much speculation Sarah Palin, the former Alaskan governor has announced she will not run for President of the Unites States.
The announcemnet came last night in a letter to supporters and read on the Mark Levin radio program.
Sarah cited consideration of her family life as a top reason for her decision. With the governor of New jersey, Chis Christie bowing out, the Republican field for president is starting to narrow.
Here's a report from ABC news:

Lunchtime is never early enough, on this day it couldn't have taken longer to show up. This is capturing the story of a young lady in an office that requires her to work 9-5 everyday excluding Sundays which is practically the only day off from the office. Keeping her eyes glued to the top right corner of her computer, gazing at the clock and repeatedly checking the line up of calls needed to be made during lunchtime. Tick tock tick tock… and here comes lunchtime! Unfortunately, it's not going to be spent having lunch but she jumps up with gusto regardless.
Bringing the street style to the office can be a little distracting but pairing culottes with a matching blazer will definitely be flattering on any body shape, size and figure. There are days when you want to throw out the pencil skirts and full-length pants and opt for the highest degree of comfort. I would say go for sweatpants but we all know that except you are your own boss I might have to send you a condolence Email concerning the job you just lost and probably flowers. Culottes aren't the prim and proper office wears for everyone but who says office wears have to be monotonous?! This riveting pair can be easily transformed from a day to night outfit for a night out with the girls by simply just taking off the blazer to reveal the beautifully tailored blouse underneath. You will look like you just stepped down from the Runway of a Balmain show without even trying.
