Honeywell International, Inc. (NYSE: HON) reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit, as sales in its aerospace unit and the business that caters to the energy industry were not as bad as it had feared.
Sales in Honeywell's aerospace business fell about 3 percent to $3.67 billion in the second quarter ended June 30, smaller than the company's forecast of a decline of 5 to 7 percent.
Margins in the unit rose to 22.3 percent from 20.9 percent, Honeywell, which makes products ranging from aircraft engines to handheld barcode scanners, said.
The unit, which makes jet engines and provides spare parts, repair, overhaul and maintenance services, benefited from strength in its commercial aviation after-sales business and growth in U.S. defense volumes, Honeywell said.
Sales in Honeywell's performance materials and technologies unit, which makes catalysts and adsorbents used for petroleum refining, dropped about 8 percent to $2.24 billion in the quarter. Honeywell had forecast a decline of 10 percent to 12 percent.
The business benefited from higher sales of Honeywell's Solstice low global-warming potential refrigerant products, the company said. Margins in the business rose to 23.4 percent from 21.4 percent.
Honeywell also raised the low end of its full-year earnings per share forecast range by 10 cents to $7.00. The company kept the high end of the range unchanged at $7.10. It expects 2017 sales in the range of $39.3 billion to $40 billion, compared with its previous forecast of $38.6 billion to $39.5 billion. Analysts on average were expecting 2017 earnings of $7.09 per share on revenue $39.43 billion.
"We expect continued momentum in organic sales growth throughout 2017, supported by strong order rates and a growing backlog across many of our businesses," Chief Executive Darius Adamczyk said in a statement.
Net income attributable to Honeywell increased 5.5 percent to $1.39 billion, or $1.80 per share, in the second quarter. The company's revenue rose about 1 percent to $10.08 billion. Analysts on average had expected second-quarter earnings of $1.78 per share, and revenue of $9.89 billion.

Hang En Cave
By: Derek Swanson
For a week in early June, I had the opportunity to chaperone the Year 12 trip to one of the most pristine locations in Viet Nam. Leaving the Monday after the Saturday graduation, the students were excited to depart on their last school event together to our primary destination, Hang En Cave, the third largest cave in the world, near the Viet Nam town Phong Nha in Quang Binh province.
Our flight left in the morning, arriving in Hue, in Central Viet Nam. As we were landing in Hue, it was apparent where chemical defoliant was dispersed half a century ago. Soon after we landed, the students and I were met by our tour leader Shi. We boarded a bus and headed north out of Hue toward Quang Tri province, which is where the 17th Parallel, the demarcation line between North and South Viet Nam in the 1960's and 1970's, is located, making Quang Tri the southernmost province of the former North Viet Nam.
Chay Lap Homestay was rustic (the water for the bathroom was brown at times, frogs and spiders paid visits, etc.), but in a great location and with amazing views. The host family was friendly, and they served a massive dinner/breakfast everyday.
In the morning on Tuesday, the group set off for a short hike to a cave that was used as a shelter during 1960's and early 1970's to manufacture wine for the troops fighting throughout the region. On our way to the cave, we passed through a neighborhood where many of the local people were working on the processing of the peanut crop that had been harvested. Husking of the shells to get to the bitter, unroasted nut is an intensive manual labor effort, which the people would be paid 12.000.000 VND for their effort (~$600). The countryside on the way to the cave was riddled with bomb craters, and the trees throughout the area were all imported from Australia, due to their ability to grow with relatively short roots, due to the application of chemical defoliant in the area years ago. The cave itself was small and narrow, but tall in height and steeped in history. There were carvings and messages that remained through the years. The hike helped to figure out who in the group would have better success during the full day hike out to Hang En the next day. After the hike, the group boarded the bus for a quick journey to the Dark Cave zipline and recreation area.
The Dark Cave area was great. A 60 second zipline run over a valley and river to the far bank, then a quick swim through a river cove to the mouth of the cave. The main part of the cave was large, stretching back several hundred meters, with a river running through; however, the feature of the cave that is the most memorable is the small passage that lead eventually to a room of deep, natural mud. In the pitch black, being able to sit floating suspended in mud with my legs crossed under was incredible. The hike back out of the cave was a muddy mess, but the water of the river rinsed us quickly. Arriving back at the river, kayaks were waiting to paddle to a recreation area of the river, complete with a smaller set of two zip lines into the river, and floating structures. The length of the day and the variety of activities offered made it seem like two completely different days.
Early the next day, it was time to make our way to Hang En cave. Part of the crew that took us had been working with the ABC show Good Morning America the week early as they broadcast live from the cave for their show. A bus delivered us to the head of the trail leading to the cave, in all a 10 km hike to the entrance of the cave; however, my FitBit reported over 30 miles traveled over the two days. Hiking through wilderness, up and down several mountains, and through knee deep rivers was refreshing, as there is a surprising lack of nature in the 9 million person city of Ho Chi Minh City.
A lunch stop half way through was set up and cooked by porters, who hauled a large amount of gear to accommodate our group. From about three kilometers out, the entrance to the cave was visible, making the last part of the trip energizing and a bit easier with the goal in sight.
After a short break in the entrance, the smaller group I was with climbed to the top of a heap of rocks that leads to the main chamber (430 feet high and 495 feet across). Looking down on the campsite was indescribable, as the sounds of the cave ecosystem filled the air. After working our way down the mound of rocks, we crossed an area where the river, warmed by the sun outside, met the cold water welling up from underground. After a full day of hiking in the sun, a swim was quite refreshing. In both the river and the spring were the Dr. Fish, like Owen and Oliver love to have munch on the dead skin of their feet.
After drying off and changing, it was dinner time. A tarp was set up to keep the cave ecosystem from contributing to the meal. Wearing headlamps to see, made for an incredible meal. A campfire, with marshmellows and guitar playing made for a memorable atmosphere. To top everything off, a full moon filled the upper entrance to the cave, nearly 500 feet up, with the silhouette of palm trees and vines against the moonlight, with a thundercloud to the side with bats flying out for their nightly feeding was amongst the memories that I will carry with me forever. As the evening wound down, I settled in to my tent, with the noises of nature surrounding.
Early the next morning, I went with several people to the top of the cave, up the mound leading to upper cave entrance. Looking down from the full expanse of the cave gave it a greater perspective of the space. Breakfast was hurried as there was more hiking to the back entrance of the cave, which was nearly a kilometer following the river to some degree, but again over several naturally formed cave in mounds. After exploring along the way for nearly an hour, it was time to return to the camp, pack up, and head back to the trailhead. The hike back was equally inspiring, with large stone mountain jutting into the sky on all sides. Several water breaks, lunch, and plenty of sweat led the group back to the trailhead where cold drinks were waiting. The bus ride back to the homestay was a quiet one, as everyone was tired and reflecting on the time that they had spent together in the cave.
Back at the homestay, a shower was a necessity. Then we had an evening of music, karaoke, dancing, and fun, as it was the last night of the trip.
Traveling back to Saigon was the objective of Friday. A stop over for lunch in Hue, then off to the airport was straightforward and completed with relative ease. The flight was delayed from Hue to Ho Chi Minh City by several hours, but a cafe had plenty of seats to accommodate.
Rebecca, the boys, and I will return to Viet Nam, with this trip being part of the agenda. It was a trip of a lifetime, and something that I have to share with the rest of the family.

Some of our winners are below:


text: I'm already stuck, how sad is that? I hope someone can help me. I'd try to figure it out but it's just not obvious and I want to be able to turn off my game and go to sleep. I'm in the Duff competition in the part where there's only Homer. There's like the statue of liberty with a big hamburger in her hand. Also, there are flags on which you can run and there's a hotdog there. What am I supposed to do to get passed the statue?

Kubernetes 1.6 in AWS Kube Up and Deploying Your First Public Service
I love mashups. Making them is a way to stand on the shoulders of giants and remix. It is fun. So this guide is kindof a mashup because I found that the guides to doing something meaningful that gave you that "ah ha" around an important technology like Kubernetes were missing. So that's what this is; A cookbook to not only stand up a complete cluster in AWS but also to deploy your first public service.
Make sure to look at the sources at the bottom. They are chocked full of helpful details I left out of this guide. There are also many ways to do this I chose to have it be as simple as possible for the guide.
Things You Will Need
- Your "local machine". For this guide its the developer's MacBook Pro.
- AWS CLI Installed on the local machine you will use to stand up the cluster and use the kubernetes dashboard.
- Pretty much wide open permissions on the AWS CLI user for IAM, CloudFormation, S3, EC2, Route53, KeyManager, sorry I don't have a full list but building a cluster requires a lot of permissions.
- Installed
kubectlon your local machine (see guide below)
- Installed
kube-awson your local machine (see guide below)
- A bucket in S3 that cloud formation docs will be rendered to.
- Monthly Costs (see estimation guide below)
Install Kubectl on Your Local Environment
Something that is not made clear in the documentation is that you, at some point, will need to install kubectl on a machine that you can run a browser on. You can also stand up the cluster on the same machine if you wish, but you will need to have
$ curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.6.1/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
$ chmod +x kubectl
$ mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
Getting Your Cluster Stood Up
1.5 kube-up is to be ignored
One of the confusing things to face right away is that the docs for the latest version of Kubernetes, what you get as top hit when you google "kubernetes in aws" is s bit confusing. It clearly says "kube-up is no longer supported in kubernetes 1.6" but it continues on and doesn't tell you that the correct thing to do for 1.6 aws is to use the kube-aws cloudformation templates from CoreOs. Don't try to download and setup kubernetes using the cluster turnup scripts. Go on to the CoreOs Steps or use this guide.
The kube-aws CoreOs Steps are required for 1.6
Once you go to the correct set of instructions things start moving along.
kube-aws is a tool that you use to configure how you want your cluster to be configure. It uses that configuration to "render" a set of cloud formation templates that can be used to stand up your cluster. This section is a summary of the CoreOs Steps.
Create a key for the cluster
$ aws kms — region=us-west-2 create-key — description="kube-aws assets mydomain.k8s.dev"
"KeyMetadata": {
"Origin": "AWS_KMS",
"KeyId": "0c7c10ad-5881–4c2e-9df7-a368dc8a6a70",
"Description": "kube-aws assets mydomain.k8s.dev",
"Enabled": true,
"KeyUsage": "ENCRYPT_DECRYPT",
"KeyState": "Enabled",
"CreationDate": 1492127610.42,
"Arn": "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:605112536939:key/0c7c10ad-5881–4c2e-9df7-a368dc8a6a70",
"AWSAccountId": "605112536939"
Create an S3 Bucket for Rendered Templates
$ aws s3api create-bucket — bucket mydomain.k8s.dev — region us-west-2 — create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-west-2
"Location": "http://mydomain.k8s.dev.s3.amazonaws.com/"
Initialize the Cluster config.yml
This sets up the primary configuration. This will be the gateway fro kubectl to get to your cluster so it ends up being over https and needs DNS. Once the cluster is set up we will create the A record that maps the load balancer to the DNS k8sdev.mydomain.com endpoint.
$ kube-aws init \
— cluster-name=mydomain-dev-cluster \
— external-dns-name=k8sdev.mydomain.com \
— region=us-west-2 \
— availability-zone=us-west-2a \
— key-name=mydomain-oregon-dev \
— kms-key-arn="arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:605112536939:key/0c7c10ad-5881–4c2e-9df7-a368dc8a6a70"
Render The Stack
Its important to note that credentials are required for kubectl to access your cluster. The easy way is to have kube-aws render those credentials. The better way is to manage your own certificates but doing that is out of scope for this article. A guide like this one, is probably helpful.
$ kube-aws render credentials — generate-ca
We are now ready to render the stack, this generates the templates that will be used to stand up our cluster.
$ kube-aws render stack
Bring Up Your Cluster
Are you ready. This is the part we have been waiting for.
$ kube-aws up --s3-uri s3://mydomain.k8s.dev
There are three stacks that get created. These are screen shots using our domain but the namespace would be whatever you mapped to mydomain.
And three instances from each stack:
As well as a load balancer that will get mapped to your dns:
And we are up and running for about $200/month
Routing DNS Using Route53
The cluster is now inde

Using kubectl to Manage Your Cluster
This guide could become giant if we try to make a comprehensive guide to
kubectl so we wont do that. Here is a cheatsheat and the overview that can take farther, but we will give you the basics:
The kubeconfig File
This file, and the associated keys, need to be on whatever machine you have kubectl installed on and are planning on managing your cluster.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
- cluster:
certificate-authority: credentials/ca.pem

Using The Dashboard in Our Local Environment
The dashboard is not something that gets exposed to the public endpoint, that's because it is your command center. Think of it as an extension of kubectl, so it should proxy through to your local machine.
To do this run the proxy:
$ kubectl --kubeconfig=kubeconfig proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
Once it is running it should proxy to http://localhost:8001/
Deploying Your First Public Service
Ok so the moment of truth. This is why we did it all. We want to make a service available on the internet. This is where the magic happens because behind the scenes our service is going to orchestrate the creation and binding to an AWS ELB as part of the platform service. This will allow us to create a DNS entry and an A record with alias to
myservice.mydomain.com that's cool because now we can manage and deploy internet services only with kubernetes and docker. Kickass.
Alright we did it. Now you will need to wait just a little time for the service to bind to the ELB. When its up you should see a new ELB in aws EC2:
And the service should be fully deployed and mapped to that ELB:
Ok for the moment of truth: lets go to the (this one below is fake so dont really try) endpoint:
And BOOM:
We have deployed a web service that is fully balanced and resilient to the Interwebs. Awesome.

Adding the touchfoil
The flexible, film touchfoil is applied to a substrate using a lamination process to create an interactive touch surface.
Once applied the controller board is connected to the contacts on the touchfoil, which is in turn connected via a mini USB to a computer or media player.
Enabling the interactivity
This example shows how (once applied to the back of the glass) to the touchfoil is used to provide a touch surface for a standard non-interactive LCD display.
How the sensor works
When the glass surface is touched the change is detected by the touch controller and relayed as X and Y co-ordinates to your computer and your interactive software applications.
Designed for you
A film touch sensor that addresses the requirements for rugged unattended touch applications, as well as the option to deliver bespoke design options for unique projects.
Zero maintenanceLow maintenance costs and exceptional durability enable the development of systems for placement within hostile operating environments – without compromising on design or performance.
Weather Resistant
The superior behind glass design aesthetic means that once laminated behind the glass and integrated into your solutions, the touchfoil can work in all weather conditions and challenging operating environments. It is both robust, reliable and vandal proof.
Works through thick glass
Specifically engineered to perform consistently through glass up to 15mm thick allowing total freedom of choice - plus the ability to easily upgrade non-touch without modifications to the existing glass.
Lightweight and flexible
Fast turnaround times, easily rolled up, safely packaged in a tube and shipped anywhere around the world.
Continuous development
Committed to the ongoing development of the touchfoil in line with the touch sensor component market needs.
Education & Learning (Schools, Universities & Museums)
In a world where immediate, interactive access to information and knowledge has come to be expected, there is a requirement for museums and educational settings to keep up with the latest communication technology developments. Staying connected to audiences and encouraging curiosity through interactive digital displays can help to keep the magic of learning alive.
For museums, visitors centres and receptions, touch screens enable users to create a truly personalised, engaging experience – and provide a new and novel way to curate their knowledge and artefacts. Visitors can dig deeper into specific topics, switch languages, play games, watch stories and test their knowledge.
This interactivity enables more of the facility's wealth of expertise to be on display than would ever fit on a simple plaque or static poster!
Corporate & Industry
There are multiple ways to enhance the corporate environment with the incorporation of interactivity - improve organisational culture, enable better internal and unified communication, make it easy for visitors to find their way around or find out about your company -all whilst demonstrating your commitment to progressive technology.
Stand out from the competition with dynamic digital screens showing offers, new products and corporate updates. Improve efficiency with easy access calendars, timetables, real time progress, efficiency and target updates. Dynamically change screen messages to welcome key visitors or celebrate specific events.
For larger offices or industrial campuses, digital maps and the ability to book rooms on a touchscreen make getting around and organising meetings so simple. Maintain consistency, improve efficiency yet remain flexible with the central management of a network of displays.
Entertainment & Recreation (Hospitality & Leisure)
Digital screens are an important asset for the hospitality and leisure markets. By enabling interactivity, organisations can minimise queues, speed up the ticketing process and make it easy for visitors to find their way around and take advantage of deals and promotions.
Touchscreens can be used to get important messages to visitors at the right time, delivering consistent, helpful and knowledgeable service to provide them with a wider range of information that is important to them.
Once you have engaged your customers you can influence their buying decisions with interactive digital marketing and brand campaigns. You can even sell advertising space to suppliers, business partners, or other local businesses.
It is now simple to maximise the potential of your bricks and mortar store by incorporating interactivity into your digital signage solutions. Optimise multi-channel opportunities and generate real return on investment with through window solutions, self-service applications, wayfinders and interactive mirrors - all of which can easily transform into an effective large format advertising or information space.

NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- Traffic on Colley Avenue is returning to normal, after police earlier shut down several blocks in response to a "person in crisis."
Roadways were closed from the 3500 to 3800 blocks of Colley Avenue as police set up a staging area.
Police were able to make contact with the individual, and were able to safely take him into custody without further incident.
Rush hour commuters can expect some delays on Colley, but police say it should clear up shortly.
UPDATE: Police made contact with the person in crisis and took him into custody without further incident. Morning commuters can expect a slight delay on Colley, but roadways should be clearing shortly. Thank you for your patience & support in our public safety efforts!— Norfolk Police Dept (@NorfolkPD) November 28, 2017
In addition to this incident, there was also a separate, unrelated traffic accident at Colley and 26th Street. That crash scene is also in the process of clearing up.

Day two (yesterday) wasn't exactly as easy to rise with the alarm as it was for day one. But my excitement to complete this challenge and the productivity I had for most of the day yesterday is an added plus.
I'm going to blame the thunderstorm and torrential downpour that resulted in me needing to close the windows and me falling asleep before I had the chance to open them back up, which had me awake only a few hours later feeling like I was sleeping in a sauna for my extra tiredness today. (Whatever makes you feel better right?)
Today's Miracle Morning:
🚨 Alarm at 6am
💦 Brushed teeth, but was far too lazy to attempt the stairs for a glass of water

Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser crash lands
Sierra Nevada suffered a bit of a setback recently in their aim to become the next company to make deliveries to the space station. Their spacecraft. Dream Chaser, crash landed during an unmanned test flight yesterday.
The race for private participation in space has been heating up as of late. We've covered the successes of SpaceX and Orbital in the past, but Sierra Nevada's mishap is a good reminder that developing spacecraft is tricky business. Despite the accident, the company seems to be on track with their unique design. Unlike SpaceX and Orbital, who are relying on capsules reminiscent of the American Apollo or Russian Soyuz, Sierra Nevada is building a spaceplane similar to the Space Shuttle. The small craft (about a third the size of the Shuttle) launches aboard a rocket, but glides back to Earth like a plane, landing on a runway.
Landing adds another layer of complexity and, in this case, another point of failure. During an unmanned glide test, the craft's left landing gear did not deploy correctly. This caused the plane to flip over upon touching down. It wasn't a complete waste, however - data collected during the glide will help refine the spacecraft design.
The crash also highlights another focus of modern spacecraft development: safety. Sierra Nevada claims that, had the plane been manned, the pilot would have walked away from the crash. SpaceX and Orbital are also developing ejection systems for their capsules. In the wake of two disastrous Space Shuttle accidents, it's likely that no American spacecraft will ever fly without a safety system again.

THERE have been concerns raised about street drinking in Ross-on-Wye.
Police Community Support Officer Lisa Austin told a Ross Town Council meeting that there were particular concerns regarding street drinking on the bench outside Peacocks in Broad Street.
She said there is a risk management plan in place and all incidents and complaints made to the police will be recorded.
This will then be sent to Hereford Police Station where a decision will be made as to what to do next.
PCSO Austin said a criminal banning order could be applied to individuals which would stop them coming into Ross.
Councillors were later asked to consider their response to a county council consultation on the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) alcohol restrictions.
A PSPO can be used to restrict the consumption of alcohol in a public space and gives the police and other designated officers additional powers within a designated area to tackle street drinking where it is having a detrimental effect to those in the locality. The PSPO does not represent a ban on public alcohol consumption.
Cllr Jenny Hyde said: "There are still notices in parts of the town where no drinking is allowed. Do any of these things stand anymore?"
Sarah Robson, clerk to the council, said they no longer stand but she investigated further as some of the areas proposed included areas now owned by the town council.
She said: "I wanted to make sure that families at the Ropewalk who were having a picnic could still open a bottle of wine.
"I have been advised by the services manager at Herefordshire Council that that is not the intention of this. This is to ensure the police have the power to move people on who are behaving in an antisocial way or criminal way. It is not intended for people enjoying a nice quiet drink on a Sunday afternoon."
The consultation for the county runs until October 11. Go to herefordshire.gov.uk

Guide to Home GamesApr 23
Like anything else, improving your poker game takes practice. And, one of the best ways we know of to sharpen your skills is to set up your own home games and tournaments.
Setting up your own game is not only a great way to relax and socialize with your friends, but it also provides an easy and economical way to get comfortable playing against live opponents. You can set the stakes at whatever you want, play whatever games you want, and play for as little or as long as you want without ever worrying about driving to a card room or casino. And getting started couldn't be easier.
First of all, you need the basics. Two good sets of cards (preferably plastic) and a good set of chips (look for clay or clay composite weighing 11 grams or more). Remember, the more players you expect to have at your game, the more chips you'll need. If you're not sure what you're looking for, you can find a number of pre-packaged, multicolor chip sets in most retail stores ranging in size from 300 chips to 500 chips.
If you want to give your game a "poker room" feel, you can also purchase a poker tabletop that fits over almost any kitchen or dining table. Again, these are available in many retail stores or are easily available online.
Once you get your supplies together, it's time to structure your tournament. Start by determining how many players you have and how long you want the tournament to last. The chart below shows how you would go about setting the blinds for a No-Limit Hold 'em tournament. For example, if you have 20 players and you want the tournament to last two hours, the time limit for each level is 12 minutes. All tournaments start at Level 1 and proceed until one player has all the chips.
We recommend that you start your tournament by giving each player 1,000 worth of chips. In most tournament situations, people start with three stacks of chips valued at 5, 25 and 100. Depending on the number of players you have, you can break down the chip stacks as follows:
* 10 chips worth 5 each (Red)
* 10 Chips worth 25 each (Green)
* 7 chips worth 100 each (Black)
Remember, you'll also want to buy some sort of timer (anything from an egg timer to an electric timer will work) to keep track of when the blinds go up. Add some snacks and beverages for your guests, and remember to schedule a 10 minute break every hour, and you're ready to play.
In short, we believe there is no better or faster way to improve your play than by cultivating a group of like-minded poker enthusiasts who love the game. By playing with your friends, and then talking about individual hands and how they were played once your tournament has ended, you'll develop critical thinking skills that will help you improve your game. Now that you know what to do to host a successful home game, don't be afraid to shuffle up and deal.

Software-defined storage is an overused and under-defined term, but the general idea is to implement storage services such that they can be dynamically reconfigured as needed, usually through the use of software-based virtual nodes.
Generally, software-defined versions of storage have extremely competitive price points, and deploy on virtual machines and/or commodity hardware.
Some software-defined storage vendors take aim only at the virtualization environment. Many offerings available today […] are cross-platform, global and more grid-like solutions that can be provisioned and grow across an organization as needed. The best of these freely scaling offerings offer built-in global replication, a single namespace and advanced analytics (for a storage system) like content indexing, distributed big data style processing and sophisticated usage and auditing management.
Several storage trends — scale-out, object-based, cloud-ready and software-defined — deserve your attention…

Unrelenting data growth has spawned new scalable storage designs.
We've all read the storage reports about overwhelming data growth. It's certainly a big and growing challenge that deserves attention, but I'll skip the part where I scare you into thinking we're about to be overwhelmed under a deluge of data. We tend to store about as much data as we can, no matter how much data there might be. There has always been more data than we could keep. That's why even the earliest data center storage systems implemented quotas, archives and data summarization.
The new challenge today is effectively mining business value out of the huge amount of newly useful data, with even more coming fast in all areas of IT storage: block, file, object, and big data. If you want to stay competitive, you'll likely have to tackle some data storage scaling projects soon. Newer approaches to large-scale storage can help.
Scaling storage out into space
The first thing to consider is the difference between scale-up and scale-out approaches. Traditional storage systems are based on the scale-up principle, in which you incrementally grow storage capacity by simply adding more disks under a relatively fixed number of storage controllers (or small cluster of storage controllers, with one to four high availability pairs being common). If you exceed the system capacity (or performance drops off), you add another system alongside it.
Scale-up storage approaches are still relevant, especially in flash-first and high-end hybrid platforms, where latency and IOPS performance are important. A large amount of dense flash can serve millions of IOPS from a small footprint. Still, larger capacity scale-up deployments can create difficult challenges — rolling out multiple scale-up systems tends to fragment the storage space, creates a management burden and requires uneven CapEx investment.
In response, many scalable storage designs have taken a scale-out approach. In scale-out designs, capacity and performance throughput grow incrementally by adding more storage nodes to a networked system cluster. Scale-up designs are often interpreted as having limited vertical growth, whereas scale-out designs imply a relatively unconstrained horizontal growth. Each node can usually service client I/O requests, and depending on how data is spread and replicated internally, each node may access any data in the cluster. As a single cluster can grow to very large scale, system management remains unified (as does the namespace in most cases). This gives scale-out designs a smoother CapEx growth path and a more overall linear performance curve.
Another trend that helps address storage scalability is a shift from hierarchical file systems towards object storage…

If you're like most data storage professionals, you're likely faced with the prospect of phasing cloud storage into your traditional storage environment. Many companies are reluctant to move into public cloud storage for obvious reasons — loss of control, oversight, security and concerns about how the cloud impacts compliance requirements, to name just a few. But the public cloud also offers compelling economics and elastic computing opportunities that have some businesses wanting to seize the potential benefits.
A sign that it may be time to adopt a hybrid cloud strategy is when business folks start contracting directly with public cloud providers for shadow IT services. Some of the reasons public clouds are attractive to business folks, assuming it's not simply the friction of having to work with an underfunded internal IT group, include:
The sensible cloud storage strategy is a hybrid approach in which IT retains control of cloud consumption and integrates it with on-premises resources as appropriate.
But there's another side to the story. When business essentially goes outside the IT department to contract with public cloud services, problems can arise. That's when issues of governance and control surface, including lack of compliance oversight, loss of data management control and potential security risks…
…(read the complete as-published article there)
One major key to success with a hybrid cloud project is to ensure that IT fundamentally transitions into an internal hybrid cloud service provider. This means understanding that business users are now your clients. You must now proactively create and offer services instead of the traditional reactive stance of working down an endless queue of end-user requests. It becomes critical to track and report on the service quality delivered and the business service utilization. Without those metrics, it's impossible to optimize the services for price, performance, surge capacity, availability or whatever factor might be important to the overall business.
Every cloud storage option has its pros and cons. Depending on your specific needs, the size of your environment, and your budget, it's essential to weigh all cloud and on-prem options. Download this comprehensive guide in which experts analyze and evaluate each cloud storage option available today so you can decide which cloud model – public, private, or hybrid – is right for you.
Hallmarks of a successful hybrid organization include:
Perhaps the first step is to evaluate the involved workloads and their data sets to look for good hybrid opportunities. If you find that workloads are currently fine or require specialized support, it might be best to leave them alone for now and focus instead on workloads that are based on common platforms.
Next, it's imperative to address the following implementation concerns before letting real data travel across hybrid boundaries…

Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov "Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov ((January 19, 1865 - December 5, 1911) was a Russian painter, and one of the premier portrait artists of his era.
Serov was born in St. Petersburg, son of the Russian composer Alexander Serov, and his wife Valentina Bergman, a composer of German-Jewish and English background. In his childhood he studied in Paris and Moscow under Ilya Repin and in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts (1880-1885) under Pavel Chistyakov. Serov's early creativity was sparked by the realistic art of Repin and strict pedagogical system of Chistyakov. Further influences on Serov were the old master paintings he viewed in the museums of Russia and Western Europe, friendships with Mikhail Vrubel and (later) Konstantin Korovin, and the creative atmosphere of the Abramtsevo Colony, to which he was closely connected."

Since that time there has been a revolution in the development of infrared detector technology. New, large format, sensitive array detectors can now detect astronomical objects over 100 million times fainter than those detected in the TMSS. " Beautiful astronomical pictures!

The WAKA lie, 30 miles long
False advertising - it's slimy, distasteful, and sometimes illegal. Usually though, they are easy to spot. That ad for the ab machine a few years ago that you just put on and turn on that would melt away the pounds while you ate Haagen Dasz just sitting on the couch was easy to spot as a lie. Those spam emails we all get that promise to "Make your penis larger" with a pill, also clearly untrue. But what about when it comes from a place you have been involved with for years? Say your kickball league - the biggest in the country - lied to you and everyone else about something as innocous as where they were holding some playoffs. What then? Think it can't happen? Think again.
If you log on to the regionals page for WAKA you see this:
September 30, 2006
Richmond, VA
Sounds good, I like Richmond. It's a state capitol, a party town, and the college mascot is a spider. They have a lovely skyline. I'm sure it's a great place to live. There's only one thing - the WAKA Eastern Regional Championship is NOT in Richmond. It's in some place called Ruther Glen, Va. Never heard of it? Me neither. Disappointed? Me too, and we're not alone:
so.... remember that regional that was supposed to be in richmond? yeah, what happened to that? cause at the moment it looks like someone mistakenly planned it for some place called ruther glen?
I think Ruther Glen is in the Richmond area, but about 30 miles south.
Did you expect anything different from WAKA? They'd hold the tournament at an elementary school field if the school board gave them enough perks.
These are posts from dyed in the wool WAKA types on kickball365.com. The middle one was the one I found most intriguing; 30 miles is considered in the Richmond area? Really? So, I decided to check on this, I called the number listed on the Richmond city page above. Here's how that conversation went:
Kickball Homer: Hi, I am calling to ask about a town near you called Ruther Glen.
Richmond woman: I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.
KH: Oh, well, I think it's about 30 miles from Richmond.
Richmond woman: (Laughs nervously) Nope, sorry I don't know where it is.
Ok, well I guess if it was in the area, Richmond city workers would at least know where it is. I decided I'd call Ruther Glen - no city page. But I did find that it's just 5 miles from King's Dominion which is kinda cool. If you're going to King's Dominion. Or if you're going to Ruther Glen it's cool. It's not so cool though if you were told you were going to Richmond to play kickball. Then it's not cool at all.
So I guess, WAKA kickballers, you can drive the 29.8 miles from Ruther Glen to Richmond after your games, change, and then go party. Sorta kills the buzz of going right, after which is all the fun, but at least you'll be in Richmond. Or you can go to King's Dominion.
This means that either the Kash guys at WAKA or liars OR maybe they are right. Maybe Ruther Glen is close enough to be called Richmond. Hmm, that means Manassas is close enough to be called Washington, DC (just 31.04 miles). And Baltimore can be DC or vice versa since they are so close (only 38.04 miles) - just don't tell the commuters, they wouldn't support the WAKA map. And Greenwich, Ct can look forward to a Trump Tower and hosting a second Wall Street since it is so close to New York City (wow a scant 33.62 miles). Maybe these places will start marketing themselves that way. But probably not. I'm sure if you called the places in question they would at least know the towns, but otherwise the conversations would be similar to mine.
So, I'll vote that they are liars. They thought putting Richmond would excite people and it did - until they found out the truth. One thing people can do to stop this increasing disrespect the Kash guys have for their customers is to boycott the Ruther Glen Regional. Another is to just quit and play elsewhere, which I may have to do. I don't appreciate false advertising, especially when I'm the sucker paying for it.

2016 Empretec Women in Business Award, 21 July 2016, Nairobi, Kenya
Ms. Tran Thi Viet wins Empretec Women in Business Award 2016
A woman entrepreneur from Viet Nam received the gold award at the Empretec Women in Business Awards 2016 ceremony on 21 July 2016, in recognition of her business success, one of 100 women nominated for the awards.
Tran Thi Viet runs Viet Trang Handicraft, which specializes in basket-woven goods using seagrass, jute, water hyacinth, corn leaves, banana leaves, and bamboo. From a small start the company now exports goods to the European Union worth more than $100 million and employs 250 weavers preserving the traditional weaving culture of Ms. Tran's region.
"I'm very happy to be here with the other finalists, who are a great inspiration to me to carry on in my business," said Ms. Tran. "it is actually my first time to the beautiful Africa."
"When I go back, I will try to keep our business moving forward to create more jobs for more local women in our village. I want to thank all my artisans back home with whom I have worked for forty years," she said.
UNCTAD's Empretec Women in Business Awards (E-WBA) have been granted biannually since 2008 to women trained by national Empretec centres. The awards were launched on the occasion of UNCTAD XII Ministerial Conference in Accra, Ghana, in 2008. Since then, three more ceremonies were held in:
- 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland, at the annual session of UNCTAD's Investment, Enterprise and Development Commission;
- 2012 in Doha, on the occasion of UNCTAD XIII Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar;
- 2014 in Geneva, Switzerland, during UNCTAD's World Investment Forum.
Recipients excelled in developing innovative business ideas, providing jobs and increasing incomes in their communities.
The awards have been shown to have a real impact on the lives of both winners and finalists, improving their access to education and resources, and adding to their motivation to continue developing their enterprises. The special recognition provided by the E-WBAs has helped women to become role models for their communities – successful entrepreneurs working to improve the quality of life in developing countries.

A Congress leader in Uttar Pradesh, Vinay Pradhan, was removed from all party positions as he allegedly used the phrase 'pappu' while praising party vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
The Congress leader reportedly praised Rahul Gandhi's recent visit to violence-hit Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh in social media messages, but chose the word 'pappu' to refer to him.
'Pappu' is a term often used by Rahul Gandhi's critics to describe him.
According to The Times of India report, Vinay Pradhan, Congress' Meerut district president, allegedly used the word 'pappu' in a message sent on a WhatsApp group called 'Indian National Congress'.
The message, which soon went viral, read: "Pappu could have joined hands with Adani, Ambani and Mallya but he did not do that. Pappu could have been a minister or even the Prime Minister, but he did not go down the road. Instead, he put his life on the line by going to Mandsaur".
According to The Times of India report, Ramkrishna Dwivedi, the chairman of the disciplinary committee, removed Vinay Pradhan from all party posts for the "provocative message".
In a letter announcing Vinay Pradhan's removal, Ramkrishna Dwivedi said, "This is an attempt to malign the party leadership. Other parties appear to be involved in this... Vinay Pradhan is guilty of violating the constitution of the Congress party".
Vinay Pradhan, however, said that the alleged messages were not sent by him and called it an attempt by some people in the Congress to "malign" him. "The screenshots being circulated have been photoshopped. I respect Rahul Gandhiji and would never use such a language for him," Pradhan said.

The topic of vocabulary, particularly in the 7-12 grade levels, brings more groans than cheers every year. Some students may tend to view it as a mundane task with minimal relevancy. Some teachers may view it as a necessity, but some may not even be sure how to make it relevant for the student. It's the way they were taught, so they proceed with the practice to check it off the lengthy list of must-haves.
I am here to offer anecdotal solutions, which could boost the collective vocabulary reputation for all involved!
Random Reoccurrence
In my classroom experiences, I have had significant success when vocabulary isn't relegated to the great trash can in their brains the minute the quiz is turned in. After week 1 of any vocabulary program, I add a section on my quizzes, and a section in their practice for randomly reoccurring vocabulary words. This way, the students know that the vocabulary words aren't going to just "go away" and they are encouraged to retain them. As the year progresses, the bank of possible vocabulary words up for random reoccurrence grows.
Discovery and Definition
Another classroom practice is the discovery and definition method! In this method, students earn "points" when they discover and define past vocabulary words in current work. They can redeem points in any way you see fit, but some common ways are to apply them to future quizzes, or to redeem them for privileges.
We would love to allow this to be a forum for your ideas too! Share away and let's build a community of educators who want to restore the reputation of vocabulary!!!

We are Edgard & Cooper, mutts on a mission to help pets eat fresh! We don't use meat meal to prepare our dog food. And we never will! Because that's some nasty stuff. Meat meal is made of intensely processed offal: cooking, squeezing, heating, grinding. This goes on until all oil, fat and water has disappeared and only a powder remains with added synthetic antioxidants. This powder gets transported all over the world, where water, oil, fat and flavours are added later on. Yikes! Edgard & Cooper took matters into their own paws and inspired the world's first 100% fresh meat kibble. Where fresh MEANS FRESH!
Doing it for the Dogs!: Every year we give 10% of our profits to animal charities to help other dogs less fortunate than us to find new homes or eat a deliciously nutritious meal.
Key Benefits
- 100% fresh chicken
- 100% meat meal free
- Fruits, berries, botanicals and herbs

This means it is highly nutritious and easily digestible. Every pack bursts with tasty veggies, fruit and botanicals, giving me all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants I need to keep me healthy nose to tail.
Naturally good for you!
