This article explains how to update the firmware of a Dell N200 or N3000 series switch. To be specific this will work on N2024/N2024P/N2048/N2048P/N3024/N3024F/N3024P/N3048/N3048P switches.
- It is assumed that the switch is on the network and has an IP address configured (this is needed to copy the firmware file onto the switch). You will need to download the updated firmware from the dell website and extract the contents.
- You will need to have a TFTP server running and accessible from the switch. If you do not already have TFTP you can download a basic server from here http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
- Copy the firmware file (.stk) into the TFTP directory (in this example
Step 1 – Backup Existing Config
Connect to the switch either via a console connection or telnet/putty.
copy running-config tftp://YYYYYY/backup-stackX
Where YYYY is the IP address of your TFTP server
conf t
enable password XXXXXXXXX
Where XXXXXXXX is your password
copy running-config-startup-config
Verify the current firmware version by running
Show ver
Below shows the steps taken in a real world upgrade…
Step 2 – Copy New Firmware onto Switch
In this step we are copying the new firmware onto the backup config.
copy tftp://YYYYYYYY/ZZZZZZZZ.stk backup
Where ZZZZZ is the name of the firmware update file. For firmware 188.8.131.52 the file is N3000_N2000v22.214.171.124
show ver
Verify that the new firmware is shown in the backup config. Assuming all ok then we want to then boot off the backup config.
boot system backup
Once the switch has rebooted. Connect to the switch and enter a show ver to verify the active firmware
Step 3 – Update Bootcode
We then need to update the bootcode to ensure the system always boots with the new firmware.
update bootcode
Then issue a show ver to verify the active firmware version.
Note if connected via serial cable you can verify the bootcode version on switch reload. For this firmware (only) look for "U-Boot 2012.10-00077-g89d3a3e (Mar 18 2014 – 13:11:33)"
For further information look at the pdf's including with the firmware .zip file.

The abstract and pdf of the published article reproduced in ePublications@SCU with the permission of Commonwealth Forestry Review
Technology will help to address the challenges for sustainable forestry in the 21st century. Some of the challenges will include the shift of production from native forest to plantations in areas of comparative advantage, more efficient processing delinking end-use products from raw wood characteristics, increased demand, better information technologies to support decision makers, and more options for conserving biodiversity. Definitions of sustainability will vary in time and space as society's expectations and aspirations change, so there can be no 'silver bullet' to ensure sustainability. However, progress may be facilitated with a systematic approach to forest management embracing the usual planning cycle: formulation of objectives, preparation of a strategy, planning, implementing, monitoring, and reappraisal. This requires a good understanding of each particular situation. Managers need good resource assessment and decision support systems; they must foster stakeholder participation in decisions, costs and benefits; and ensure effective procedures to resolve conflicts. Within an appropriate system, technical advances such as better machines and new implements may help to make a difference, but will not in themselves ensure sustainability. The important technologies for sustainable forestry are those that foster better communication between stakeholders and allow informed decisions spanning scales from the gene to the ecosystem. This remains an important challenge for forest managers in their search for sustainability.

Why I like Usagi-chan
So what compels a grown man to watch a clutzy crybaby fight goofy looking monsters with 'glizty jewelry and make-up', as Dave Berry put it?
Because Usagi has a heart big enough to hold the entire world and then some.
Yes, Usagi is a goofy little teenager who chases boys, eats too much, falls down constantly, can't study worth a hill of beans, has the willpower of an angry tree sloth, and cries enough to end an average drought. She whines. She runs away. At the start of the series, Usagi seems to be completely worthless, the sort of girl who drives people nuts with her inability to motivate herself to any worthy endeavour, her incredible childishness, her bad grades, her state of being completely sunk in the trivialities of the life of a junior high student. This is not a person of whom one might expect great things.
And yet, from the very start we can see hints of what is to come. Usagi's strength is her compassion, her love for others, her kindness to all, whether or not they deserve it. Within the first five minutes of the first episode, she saves a bedraggled cat from the torments of a small group of children, and as fate would have it, this is no ordinary cat...When her friend Naru is in trouble, she runs to Naru's aid, even though she has just been faced with a series of events like cats talking and magical transformations that are utterly beyond her experience.
It is Usagi's ability to love and the strength she finds within herself from that love that transforms Usagi from the self-centered whining, crying, cowardly, lazy child that she is at the beginning to the woman who gives her life for others over and over again. It is her love which takes four lonely misfits and bonds them together with a powerful friendship that transcends death. It is her love which enables her to redeem those who seem beyond hope, brining back Ail, Ann, the Doom Tree, Fiore, Hotaru, Galaxia, and others from the pits of evil into which they had slid (or been pushed in the case of Hotaru). It is her love that drives her to go with Pluto to the Marine Cathedral to try to save Uranus and Neptune, even after they had called her worthless, after they had literally attacked her, after they had taken away her transformation brooch and with it, her powers. It is not for nothing that the ending of S shows her to be the Messiah of the world.
Usagi's transformation over the course of the series is a wonder to behold. It is the growth of a soul more beautiful than the mind can almost comprehend. She possesses the faith that moves mountains, mountains of the soul. She believes in love, utterly and completely, and nothing can shake that faith for long. I can only dream of possessing such an ability, and I must admit it makes me envious sometimes. As a historian, I am far too aware of the evil that men do, yet Usagi sees horrors the likes of which I have never seen in reality and does not lose her faith in love, in joy, in the ultimate triumph of good. I must struggle where she floats effortlessly. Some might call her out of touch with reality, but I say that the real problem is that she has seen the higher reality more clearly than we. She can see what should be, and she strives to make it real. There is no nobler task than that.
Also importantly, Usagi never becomes perfect, never loses her humanity. She still eats too much sometimes, has trouble studying, can oversleep, and even chases boys, or at least one boy :) She does not become unbelievably perfect, nor do all of her troubles go away, but she becomes better able to bear them. She remains real, and her strength is all the more inspiring because of that.
Perhaps my favorite Usagi moment is this one, from the Sailor Moon R movie:
The sailors are on Fiore's asteroid. Sailor Moon is about to try to stop the asteroid from crashing into the Earth.
Fiore: [grabs the ginzuishou and tries to stop her from using it] You're going to change the path of the meteor with that. I won't let you do it. You're going to die with me!
Sailor Moon: [softly] What are you afraid of? Don't worry, you aren't alone. [puts her hand on Fiore's hand]
excerpt from Doi's SM page summary
In the hospital, a little Mamoru was crying. A little girl with odango hair came up to him and told him not to cry.
Little Mamoru said that his friend was going to leave soon, and there was nothing he could do about it. Then little Usagi said, "From today, I'm going to be an older sister. My mother had a baby. I brought this for present. Here. It's a happy day today." Then little Usagi gave one rose to little Mamoru.
[end of flashback]
Fiore has just spent most of an hour of screen time trying to kill Usagi and her friends, kidnapped her boyfriend, and now is trying to stop her from saving their lives. Yet, Usagi doesn't hate him. In fact, she feels compassion for him, for she understands that it was his loneliness that made him vulnerable to the power of the Kisenian flower. She wants him to understand that he's not alone, that she cares about him. It is her ability to care even for those who have done horrible things, for those who have even tried to kill her that make her a true hero.
She is the heart and soul of the Sailor Senshi and by the final episode, we can truly see that she is worthy to one day be Queen of the Earth, as we see her being in Crystal Tokyo.
What are you afraid of? Don't worry, you aren't alone.
Hey, you didn't mention all my nifty costumes! And after all the effort it took to make these things! Oh well. You can click here to return to the main page! Or you can just stay here with me forever! Your call!

Aircraft Wrecks in the Mountains and Deserts of the American West
Fall 1963 / Spring 1964?
There are three aircraft still listed as missing in the High Sierra. The oldest unsolved case is that of USAAF Curtiss P-40 39-194 flown by 1st Lt. Leonard Lydon. Lt. Lydon survived nine days in the wilderness before he and another missing P-40 pilot were rescued. USAF Lockheed T-33A 52-9232 was lost on 5/9/57. The pilot, 1st Lt. David A. Steeves survived fifty-four days in the wilderness before he was rescued, but his T-33A is still missing. The most recent case involves Piper PA-28 N4389J that vanished on 6/2/67 with three persons on board.
The on-going drought in California has been responsible for a drop in High Sierra lake levels. In July 2015 two hikers spotted aircraft wreckage in a remote lake southwest of Lone Pine, CA. Though they did not photograph what they saw, they did contact www.aircraftwrecks.com . When no information was found in the files, the missing T-33A became the prime candidate.
A recon mission was organized by Project Remembrance Team member David Lane. Mr. Lane and Andy Schultz located the lake in question, and large aircraft parts were immediately observed underwater. Some small parts were were also seen on a rock at the lakes edge. What had the intrepid team found? The paint on the wreckage was olive drab, and the parts remarkably intact. Prefix numbers were noted so one aspect of the mystery was immediately solved. The aircraft was identified as a Bell Aircraft HU-1 Huey helicopter flown by an Army Aviation unit. The date the crash occurred was August 6, 1962. Two passengers were listed as USAF Officers: Brig. General Irving Branch, and Colonel Charles Yeager. The Army pilot was Major Emil Jack Kluever, well known for testing new helicopter designs in the 1960s.
The crash site today appears to be a large micro site, however what remains submerged is not known. An accident report will be requested to ascertain the much needed details about the factors that contributed to this crash. What we do know is, the accident happened following the lakeside pickup of two passengers, and that General Branch was trapped under water in the HU-1 cabin. Fortunately the general was in an air pocket, and was able to kick out the plexiglass and swim to the surface. (Source: Yeager, An Autobiography by General Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos.)

Starting from Paumonok
As always, American politics is an absorbing sideshow. After an alarming primary season, Romney and Ryan are now on the GOP ticket, but what Mitt, Newt, Rick, Ron, and Rick all had in common was that they thought a privileged white doofus should be in charge. Come on, America. You've tried that. And as if there weren't enough PWDs in the field, Missouri's Todd Akin had to pipe up, reminding everyone that Republicans often have a nebulous grasp of reality. His Palinesque ignorance earned him instant notoriety, and ignited a debate about rape and reproduction. One of the best things I've read on the subject was this in the New Yorker, by someone who (unlike Akin) actually knows what he's talking about.
One of the best lines I've read of late was in an article on Mitt's sex appeal at The Atlantic: Evolutionary psychology is the phrenology of our time. Thank you, Elspeth Reeve. I'm glad I'm not the only one rolling her eyes at fatuous explanations of how our behaviour around the office or at parties reflects traits on which our hunter/gatherer ancestors must have relied. I think the ancestors would turn in their neolithic graves if they knew what nonsense is talked in their name.
Darwin, too, might turn, since he wrote with truth and beauty in mind, and wonder, and curiosity, and love: none of these seem present in his dim descendents, the psychopundits. I found this week these lines from Origin of Species which seem to me lovely: "As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever-branching and beautiful ramifications."
The odds of finding a poem to tie these loose thoughts into some kind of coherence were always slim, but Darwin's contemporary, Walt Whitman, casts so wide a net that he just might catch, in these lines from the poem "Starting from Paumonok," all the creatures I've just loosed. (You can read the whole thing here.) Have a nice weekend.
Victory, union, faith, identity, time,
The indissoluble compacts, riches, mystery,
Eternal progress, the kosmos, and the modern reports.
This then is life,
Here is what has come to the surface after so many throes and convulsions.
How curious! how real!
Underfoot the divine soil, overhead the sun.
See revolving the globe,
The ancestor-continents away group'd together,
The present and future continents north and south, with the isthmus
See, vast trackless spaces,
As in a dream they change, they swiftly fill,
Countless masses debouch upon them,
They are now cover'd with the foremost people, arts, institutions, known.
See, projected through time,
For me an audience interminable.
With firm and regular step they wend, they never stop,
Successions of men, Americanos, a hundred millions,
One generation playing its part and passing on,
Another generation playing its part and passing on in its turn,
With faces turn'd sideways or backward towards me to listen,
With eyes retrospective towards me.
Take my leaves America, take them South and take them North,
Make welcome for them everywhere, for they are your own off-spring,
Surround them East and West, for they would surround you,
And you precedents, connect lovingly with them, for they connect
lovingly with you.

Special Reports
Commentary: Why WikiLeaks' 'War Logs' are no Pentagon Papers
The WikiLeaks documents on the Afghanistan war have brought suggestions such as this one [1] (from The New York Times, the newspaper that published both) that they represent "the Pentagon Papers of our time." Not quite.
Here are a few quick thoughts on the analogy:
What's importantly similar to the Pentagon Papers
The greatest similarity between the WikiLeaks trove and the Pentagon Papers [2] is that the documents end before the current administration's policy began. In political terms, that is hugely important.
The Pentagon Papers, of course, were a secret study [3], commissioned during the Lyndon Johnson administration by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. The period under study ended in 1968, and the papers were not made public until 1971. Johnson left office in 1969, and was succeeded by a president of the opposing party, Richard Nixon. Nixon promised a shift in Vietnam policy, and while his policy did not differ as much in practice as he had hinted that it would while campaigning, he was not held responsible, by most voters, for the deepening mess of the Johnson years.
In the current case, as the White House has repeatedly pointed out in the last 18 hours, the papers end before President Barack Obama's announcement [4] last year of an Afghanistan policy that departed from that of President George W. Bush. (That policy, of course, has centered on significantly increasing the number of troops, and focusing more on counterinsurgency.)
What's crucially different from the Pentagon Papers
In terms of important disclosures, it's not even close, with the historical importance of today's documents [5] likely to be relatively minor, and that of the Pentagon Papers enormous. The most significant revelations today include the Taliban's limited use of heat-seeking missiles (which had been previously reported [6], though little-noticed), and the Pakistani intelligence service's constant double-dealing [7] and occasional cooperation with the Taliban (long the subject of news stories [8], and even of some official complaints).
In 1971, in contrast, the Pentagon Papers revealed a host of important discrepancies between the public posture of the U.S. government with respect to Vietnam and the truth -- from the Truman administration, through the times of Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson.
These included Johnson's dissembling during the 1964 presidential campaign and in the run-up to the key decision in 1965 to send large numbers of combat troops, as well as confirmation of U.S. involvement in the 1963 coup [9] against South Vietnamese premier Ngo Dinh Diem. And perhaps most famously, was the evidence that the administration had decided to escalate the war before the 1964 Tonkin Gulf Resolution gave it the authority to do so.
There are many reasons for the differences between these two troves of documents, but perhaps the most important is that today's documents provide a "ground-level" view of the war, while the Pentagon Papers offered a classic "top-down" perspective. Wars are fought on the ground, and the perspective such a view provides can be invaluable. But many of a war's key secrets, especially in political terms, are generated at the top.
The real impact of the Pentagon Papers
There is a lot of loose talk today about the impact of the Pentagon Papers. Much of it, I suspect, stems from this in the Wikipedia entry [10]: "The revelations widened the credibility gap between the US government and the people, hurting President Richard Nixon's war effort." In fact, a much stronger argument can be made for the proposition that there was almost no impact on the Nixon administration's ability to conduct the war as it wished. Nixon's policy continued apace, through the peace negotiations of 1972 (during a presidential campaign!), continuing with the Christmas 1972 bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong harbor, and including the January 1973 peace accords.
The great antiwar demonstrations that many of us recall -- the March on Washington, the student Moratorium [11], Kent State -- all took place before the publication of the papers. Nixon invaded Cambodia 14 months earlier. What happened after the papers was that Nixon coasted to re-election by one of the largest majorities in American history, and his adviser Henry Kissinger won a share of the Nobel Peace Prize for "ending" the Vietnam War.
That said, there were profound effects from the release of the Pentagon Papers. They came in how the Nixon administration responded to the leak and the publication of the papers. First, the administration went to court and soon suffered, in the Supreme Court [12], the most significant defeat for the executive branch in the national security field since Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus was struck down in 1866 [13] (i.e. after the Civil War ended and after Lincoln was killed).
Beyond the legal battle, Nixon and his henchmen launched the "plumbers [14]" operation (to stem more leaks) and thus set off down the road that led to Watergate -- and all that followed. These became the central American political events of the 1970s, and hugely weakened the presidency, with consequences including the Gerald Ford administration's powerlessness with Congress when the North Vietnamese violated the peace accords in 1975.
How the Obama administration will react today is, of course, still emerging, and already being debated [15].
But where Nixon brought suit and ordered burglaries, I find an early sign in this [16] from the New York Times Washington bureau chief, Dean Baquet: "I did in fact go the White House and lay out for them what we had," Baquet said. "We did it to give them the opportunity to comment and react. They did. They also praised us for the way we handled it, for giving them a chance to discuss it, and for handling the information with care. And for being responsible."

Biology faculty among co-authors in high impact journal
Associate professors of Biology, Dr. Stephanie Conant and Dr. Jacob Kagey along with School of Dentistry assistant professor Dr. Joshua Thomson are among the co-authors of an article appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
The article, An inclusive Research Education Community (iREC): Impact of the SEA-PHAGE program on research outcomes and student learning, highlights the importance of engaging undergraduate students in research early in their college education.
At Detroit Mercy, many science freshmen in their first semester take part in SEA-PHAGE course, a unique mentored, authentic research experience which is part of a larger national consortium.
After collecting a variety of soil samples, students isolate, purify and amplify their phage in the laboratory and are further examined by electron microscope.
The article finds when students are exposed to scientific discovery early in their education, there is increased accessibility to research experiences, increased persistence in STEM and increased scientific productivity for students and faculty.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 Dec 19;114(51):13531-13536. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1718188115. Epub 2017 Dec 5.

Problemist Tables
The tables shown below are obtained using Rel, a free download provided as Open Source software by Dave Voorhis. Rel is an implementation of Tutorial D, a relational database language invented by myself and Chris Date. The first table shows problemists' scores to date for the present year. The second shows the final positions last year. The third shows total scores and grades for all problemists who have been active since January 2011.
Until January 2011 I had been using a suite of computer programs developed by myself in Mallard Basic, originally on an Amstrad PCW running CP/M in the early 1980s. In that system I was unable to retain detailed records for previous years. I had wanted to switch to Rel almost as soon as the first version of that product became available in 2004. I was compelled into action in 2010 when I discovered that Mallard Basic, developed originally for CP/M and later for MS/DOS by a company, Locomotive Software, that no longer exists, is not supported on Windows from Windows 7 onwards. Thanks to Rel, I am now able to retain detailed records indefinitely.
League table for 2019 after the October competition:
Final league table for 2018:
Problemists active since January 2011
The high total scores for some of these people is explained by the fact that they were participating in solving competitions in the days when I was publishing them in British bridge magazines. The entries are shown in descending sequence of scores obtained since January 2011. The last two columns reflect only MPs and SPs arising from Difficult Ratings of the monthly competition problems; they don't include points added for other reasons, such as solving Competition Problem 1.

This special guest Article is written by Vinod Jacob, an automotive engineer and a freelance journalist covering travel and automotive topics. Its about his visit to the Fuji Speedway which will be hosting the 2007 Formula One Japanese Grand Prix. While we all may be missing Suzuka, we gotta agree the Fuji Speedway is great track and its pretty too. In essence there cant be a better preview to the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix.
It was about six days before the inauguration of the speedway that I made a visit to one of the world's most famed tracks. The bus dropped me at the Fuji Lane bus stop around 11kms from the Gotemba station. As I walked towards the west gate I could see numerous closed garages and even a transporter left rusting. However I could rarely see a few coupes stopping at some of the garages which were dusting back to normal as the three year old renovations of the speedway came to a close.
The main grand stand which overlooks the famed 1.5km straight gives an overall view of the entire pit building, the pit lane entry, the main control centre, the medical centre including the helipad and also the last corners. Behind the grand stand is the event square dotted with information kiosks and shopping malls and the Speedway boasts of 21 parking areas and 6 tunnels, good enough for the expected 140,000 spectators for the race.
The stand at the first corner will put the viewers closer to the action at the end of the longest straight. The view of the home straight from the first corner should stir up in any spectator the glory of the speedway.
Down the racing lane
Fuji Speedway inaugurated four decades back, was originally designed to be a highly banked super speedway. The removal of the dangerous oval banked turn brought the Formula One to Japan in 1976. That race run at wet conditions saw the championship finale between Niki Lauda and James Hunt. Due to heavy rain and dangerous wet conditions Niki Lauda withdrew the race, leaving Hunt bagging the championship even after suffering puncture during the final laps. The 1977 Grand prix was won by James Hunt, in an incident packed race with Gilles Villenue's car veering off-course killing two spectators.
The racetrack will see the cars go flat out at the 1.475km main straight, the longest of any Grand prix circuit. The first corner puts the cars hard on the brakes for a sharp 27R right hander and then will accelerate down towards the Coca-cola corner. Then the car takes a 100R sweeping right hander before braking into the hairpin.
Then the car accelerates downward towards the tight chicane at Dunlop corner, a possible passing point. Then it goes through the newly introduced section designed by Hermann Tilke, the Netz corner. Earlier it was a very high speed corner passing into the main straight. The Netz corner leads uphill to the last and the tightest corner in the circuit, Panasonic corner, an inside right hander leading to the straight.
It will be interesting to see the cars going on the straight braking for the pitlane entry which is at an angle. SEIKO will be the official timekeeper of the race.
Toyota's breeding ground
The Fuji Speedway was bought by Toyota in 2000 as part of its plans for motor racing. More than a home circuit, it means a lot to it. During the 1935 Toyota's first product, G1 truck was test driven through Gotemba and Susono when run from Matsumoto to Kariya.
The Higashi-Fuji proving ground at Susono-cho, around 30 minutes from Gotemba was opened in 1966 and was developed by Toyota to test faster cars as it started exporting cars. This proving ground has a four lane high speed 3.7km oval track to test for a maximum speed of 200kmph. It also has test areas for evaluating acceleration, handling and stability, turning and braking performance at high speeds. It does skid testing in icy and snowy roads and roads to replicate cobblestone, bitumen, grooved, corrugated, gutter dips and re-created roads with a dimensional precision as high as 1mm.
The Fuji Speedway has a drift course denoting Japan's popularity for drifting, created under the supervision of the drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya. Nearby is also a gymkhana course where the drivers can freely test their skills.
The Fuji Lexus College inside the speedway campus is used by Toyota's luxury marquee to impart and train the Lexus dealers and employees as it started launching the brand in the domestic market. The Safety Education block, mobilitas, conducts safe driving courses to stress the importance of safety in racing and for training of juniors. Inside the Speedway is also a short course mimicking a Formula One circuit with all facilities like pits, control tower and stands where anybody can try their cars out.
As in any Toyota event it wants its spectators to participate in this experience under the theme "Know it. Enjoy it. Feel it.". "Know it" will feature a display of historic F1 cars which includes a comparative display of F1 car parts with that of regular passenger cars. "Enjoy it" will play host to photo poses in front of historic F1 cars finishing with a demonstration of tire change. "Feel it" will introduce to the fans a typical F1 car jack-up and will let them feel the weight of different F1 car parts.
Fans march to Gotemba
Gotemba is a city located at the foot hills of Mt Fuji. On any clear day the majestic view of the cone shaped Mt Fuji is breathtaking. But it is a city lost to the mountain as the trail from Gotemba is considered to be tough. However it is not going to be the same again as it is going to play host to Formula One's 2007 Japanese GP. Red and white paper lanterns swayed in breeze in front of shops and houses as if to welcome the fans.
The Ferrari-Matsuda museum at Gotemba will play host to the Ferrari fans with collection dating back from 1940s to the latest Enzo Ferrari with cars like Testarossa, F-40s and F-50s, GTOs, Dino, Spyder and a beautiful Pininfarina designed Maranello. Also on display are old posters, brochures, awards, monograph and chronograph watches and clocks, mementos of pole position, podium finishes and the Tag Heuer collections.
The racing palace museum on the way to Fuji Speedway from Gotemba has a huge collection of racing cars of Renault, Ferrari and Nissan of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Bugatti and Lotus racing cars of the 1970s were also on display. An Aryton Senna section houses the F1 cars he raced, his collectibles and a video screening of some of his interviews and practice sessions.
Akin to other races it still remains to be seen whether the podium will be decided in the qualifiers or until the chequered flag is lowered. Hopefully it will remain as one of the toughest circuits which will put the team and their car to complement with the driver to as what Kimi puts it "getting everything right, every time".

Ha Noi, 31 January 2018 - Viet Nam officially launched the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement today in an event that also kicked off the implementation of the Prime Minister's Directive on strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration for nutrition in the country's new context. The event marked an important milestone for Viet Nam in its efforts to improve health and nutrition for the country's citizens as well as in the fulfilment of its international commitments in these areas. Participants to the event included Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, Assistant UN Secretary General and Coordinator of the Scale-up Nutrition Movement Gerda Verburg, representatives from line ministries, government agencies and international organizations.
Over the past decades, Viet Nam has made great strides in improving nutrition. The child malnutrition rate has significantly declined and food security has considerably improved. However, Viet Nam still faces many challenges in this area. Government data from 2015 shows a national stunting rate of 24.9 per cent, with wide disparities amongst ethnic groups – 15 percent stunting rates within the Kinh majority – and other ethnic groups with rates as high as 30.4 per cent. The rates seen in the central highlands are even more unequal, with 40.6 per cent among some ethnic minorities and 15.8 per cent amongst the Kinh.
Viet Nam has demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting nutrition. In January 2014, Viet Nam officially joined the SUN Movement - a global movement that unites people from civil society, the United Nations, donors, businesses and researchers—in a collective effort to end all forms of malnutrition in the world by 2030. Launched in 2010, the SUN Movement is now led by 60-member countries including Viet Nam.
"I am proud to count Viet Nam as an important member of the SUN Movement and look forward to seeing accelerated progress towards no malnutrition in the country. As Viet Nam has so many powerful stories of change to share, we at the SUN Movement are at hand to offer all of you with any further support you may need in tackling all forms of malnutrition, while we spread the word about your successes. Viet Nam's remarkable performance in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Championship should be the new normal and not an exceptional event, and together you can make it happen", said Ms. Gerda Verburg, Assistant UN Secretary General and Coordinator of the Scale-up Nutrition Movement
As a member of the SUN Movement, Viet Nam has been leading the way to addressing malnutrition in all its forms and making this transformative agenda a reality for people in the whole country. Viet Nam has recently enacted and enforced two important pro-nutrition policies including the Communist Party's Resolution No. 20 / NQ-TW and the Prime Minister Directive No. 46 / CT-TTg. However, more domestic investment is crucial for reaching the Movement's goal of eliminating malnutrition by 2030.
"For nutrition work, it is necessary to focus on raising awareness, changing behavior, raising the responsibility of the entire political system, the whole society and each citizen; To formulate and organize the implementation of schemes and programs on raising the health and stature of Vietnamese people, especially in rural, mountainous and island areas; To make recommendations, disseminate information on appropriate nutrition plans for each group of Vietnamese people; To deploy the necessary micronutrients programs for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, elderly people; To comprehensively implement non-communicable diseases related to nutrition" said Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien.
At the event, Ms. Wivina Belmonte, Deputy Director of UNICEF East Asia and the Pacific Region emphasized the importance of nutrition in the first 1000 days of a child's life and the role of nutrition in their development. She also expressed the confidence in the government's strong determination to invest in nutrition and the commitment to continue supporting Viet Nam in this area. "We, as UNICEF, are committed to supporting the government in this strengthening of multi-sectoral coordination, which will bring a strong stakeholdership into the same fiscal space for implementation of the SUN principles. We are committed to bringing UNICEF global experiences in combatting nutrition to support the government"

TechSmith.com provides an incredible free application called Jing, which permits you to make your own short videos and upload them to your site or even send them as attachments to e-mails. It works by simply recording what's on your computer screen. So, if you create a short PowerPoint presentation and deliver it on your own over your computer, Jing will record both what's on your computer screen and your voice as you explain the slides. You can then embed the recording on your website or blog. And this is entirely free.
Here's a short example: http://www.screencast.com/t/bW1p5nd9EjP
As you can see from my short video, some rehearsal is in order. It's even useful to script the video, which you can do for a short presentation. Jing videos are limited to five minutes, which should be sufficient to present any idea and may be the limit of anyone's attention span these days.
Once you install Jing, you can use it whenever you want. A small yellow circle sits at the bottom of your computer screen that you only see when your cursor hovers over it. When your cursor is on the circle, three tentacles come off of it offering three functions: record, history, or help. You just click on record to run the program for recording your screen. It permits you to determine how much of your screen to record and allows you to choose your microphone before it starts. Then there's a three-second countdown before the actual recording begins.
Once you have recorded your presentation, it automatically is saved on Jing. You can access the recording through the History function on the Jing application that sits on your desktop. When signing up for Jing, you also create an account at www.screencast.com. You go there to share the video in any number of ways, on Facebook or Twitter, or through emails or by embedding the video on your website or in a blog, as I have done here. Screencast provides a URL for circulating the video by email and an embed code for inserting it in a blog post or on your website. You may want to do a series of short presentations on different aspects of estate and long-term care planning, your own mini-university. But make certain to keep every presentation short and to-the-point. You will be amazed at how quickly you can fill up five minutes.
The Jing function does not permit editing the video, though at less than five minutes you can always redo the recording if you don't like how it came out. To edit videos, you need to purchase another TechSmith product, Camtasia Studio, which will be the subject of a future blog post.

Does your "costume" reflect the real you?
In movies and entertainment, costumes are designed to help the audience get a feel for who the character or performer is and what they're like. The costumes also help set the tone for the whole movie. For example, if you were watching a movie set in the 1920's, but all of the characters were wearing clothing from the 1960's, you'd probably be very confused and the whole context of the film would be skewed. Another example of discord in a film is Napoleon Dynamite. The movie was supposed to be set in 2004, but most of the characters were wearing [..] read more

I just read an article on Forbes.com titled The Perfect Interview Outfit. There was a lot of great information, including a few quotes by my fellow AICI colleagues. However, I have to say I disagree with some of the information the author gave about dressing within your budget. The author, Leah Bourne, states, "Finding that perfect interview outfit that is put together and sophisticated doesn't have to break the bank." I agree. She goes on to mention, "The best strategy is to shop at several low-priced retailers to find chic basics that mix and match with more expensive signature pieces." [..] read more

Tchaikovsky is one of Russia's most important musical luminaries. He produced his extensive body of work during the Russian Romantic period, a volatile era spanning the 18th and 19th centuries during which Russia forged a distinct cultural identity. Russian Romanticism reflects Imperial Russia's captivation with longing, love, and the nature of the human spirit, themes expressed thoroughly in Eugene Onegin. Tchaikovsky wrote an opera of passion and honesty, but he very nearly never wrote it at all.
|Aleksandr Pushkin
1799-1837, seven years of which
were spent writing Eugene Onegin
It is therefore completely understandable that after someone else suggested Tchaikovsky turn Pushkin's poem into an opera, Tchaikovsky dismissed the idea as "quite preposterous." How could an opera capture the subtle, witty, glittering narrative of the poem? More importantly, how could he dare to subject the greatest national literary treasure to operatic conventions?
|Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
After one sleepless night, Tchaikovsky found the answer. A prolific letter writer (5,347 letters survive to this day), Tchaikovsky wrote to his brother Modest:
"How pleasant to avoid all the routine Pharaohs, Ethiopian princesses, poisonded [sic] cups and all the rest of these tales about automata. What poetry there is in Onegin! I am not blind to its faults. I fully realize that it gives little scope for treatment, and will be poor in stage effect, but the richness of the poetry, the humanity and simplicity of the subject, embodied in Pushkin´s inspired verse, will make up for whatever it lacks in other ways." (1877)
Modest, along with most of Tchaikovsky's circle of friends and peers, criticized him for his choice of topic and urged him not to take the risk of infuriating Russia by adapting Pushkin's beloved verse to stage. While Tchaikovsky's letters express his own anxieties about molding Pushkin's masterpiece into opera, they also chronicle his love for the story and his belief that the public would embrace the work (after careful exposure and a suitable warming-up period, of course). In the end, Tchaikovsky was proven right and the opera Eugene Onegin was embraced throughout Russian society from the poorest rural villages to the magnificent court of Tsar Alexander III.
The magic of Eugene Onegin lies not in its theatricality, of which there is very little, or its tragedy, which even Tchaikovsky described as banal, but in its emotional verity. Eugene Onegin is a story about the everyday occurrences that make up a human life: our impulsive desires, our longing for love and our need for friendship, the choices we make and how we live with our regrets. Tchaikovsky spent a year laboriously, lovingly, and a little fearfully capturing the universal emotions of Pushkin's characters, in the end creating a masterpiece of music and poetry that is unique in the operatic repertoire.
Over the next few weeks leading up to opening night, MadOpera will explore the lives of Pushkin and Tchaikovsky, the language of music and dance (yes, dance!) in Eugene Onegin, and our breath-taking production of the opera. Along the way, there will be brief photographic forays into Russian culture, courtesy of the UW Madison Russian Folk Orchestra and the Russian Educational Association, and a guest blogger will give you an intimate introduction to Eugene Onegin's famous Letter Scene. If you just cannot wait until the next post, have a look at our Eugene Onegin opera guide.
It's going to be a fun and informative few weeks, so be sure to get your tickets to Eugene Onegin before the excitement overwhelms you.

24 May 2015
On our Berlin trip, we spent a day in Potsdam. Potsdam is more like a countryside compared to big city Berlin. It was huge contrast to Berlin. Potsdam is full of greenery, beautiful gardens and palaces. Sanssouci Royal Park is where we went to in Potsdam. This royal park is not like an ordinary park. This place was massive. It will take a day to visit each corner of this park. It has grand palaces, beautiful gardens and fountains. They also had a horse drawn carriage ride nearby this park. Not only that they also have an old windmill. Inside this old windmill you can see the history and the equipments used to run the windmill. It was amazing to see that. I was very pleased that I discovered Potsdam whilst doing my Berlin research because I really needed to relax after a city break in Berlin full of tourist, concrete buildings and artificial things around me.
22 May 2015
Antwerp was another place we explored on our Belgium trip. We explored this lovely city on bike for the whole day. In Germany and Belgium most of the city and towns have cycle lane. Therefore, it is much safer to cycle there. The best bit in Antwerp was visiting Antwerp central station. That station blew me away. It's nothing like the typical train station at all. It is the most beautiful train station I have ever seen in my life. It has beautiful architecture. It is more sort of a masterpiece. I could sit there whole day and appreciate it's beauty. Apart from the central station we went to the Grote Markt where they have 16th century Guildhouses, Statue of Brabo and the giant's hand and Antwerp city hall. We also visited Cathedral of our Lady, diamond district, Het Steen, Port of Antwerp.

Berlin Postcard
Berlin was amazing and rich in history. It was incredible to witness the remains of the Berlin wall. Not only that it amazing to see the difference in lifestyle people had in East and West Berlin when the wall was built. Berlin visit has expanded my knowledge base about Germany and it's history. We visited all the major attractions from Brandenburg gate, East side gallery, Checkpoint Charlie to Potsdamer Platz. We went to Park Inn hotel to view the panoramic view of Berlin. The platform to view the panorama was not spacious as I expected. However, they also have a facility to do a bungee jump from that platform. It was really good experience to see people jumping off the concrete building. It looked scary though. Glad I didn't go for it. We also managed to go to flea Market which was the largest flea market I had ever been to. It was full of treasure.

Hamburg Postcard
As promised, here comes the Hamburg post. When I went to visit Hamburg, I honestly didn't expect much from this city despite my research beforehand. However, I was amazed by how beautiful this city was. I prefer to do lots of sightseeing, soak in the culture and mix with the locals than just sit and relax on holiday. In other words, I love to explore the place and it's culture. On our first day we went to Rathaus, Miniatur Wunderland, Hafen city, St Pauli, Reeperbahn, Hamburg harbour and Fischmarkt. Elb tunnel, St. Michaelis Church, Planten un blomen, Speicherstadt is where we went to visit on the second day. Hamburg has the third largest harbour and it was amazing to see big cargo ships as well as both commercial and private boats/ships. We also managed to admire the panoramic view of Hamburg from St. Michaelis Church tower. In the evening, we hung out at St Pauli which is the place to be as they have loads of restaurants, nightclubs and of course bars. Hamburg definitely exceeded my expectations. I would love to come back to this city again in near future if I had an opportunity.

Wrapped up
In April, I went to Hamburg and it was pretty cold day. I was out all wrapped up trying to keep myself warm. I have to admit that I catch cold very quickly and once I get it I won't be able to shake it off that easily. So, I have be extra careful during the cold months. I can't wait for summer to come. Summer is much better than winter for me. We drove to Hamburg which was nearly 3 hours from our place and stayed for 2 days. We had a fab time. I will be posting Hamburg and Berlin pictures pretty soon. Look out for the post. I promise to bombard you with loads of beautiful pictures.

Bruges Postcard
Another day, another road trip. Just a few days ago, I went to Bruges in Belgium. It was a short trip but worth it. I have documented most of my travel updates on my instagram. Recently, my instagram account feels like a sort of travel diary filled with pictures of my travel stories. Anyway, we drove from Germany to Bruges which is 3 hours drive from our place. I was very excited for this trip. Bruges is relatively small however there aren't short of things to do here. You can do sightseeing, boat trips, horse drawn carriage ride, museum visit, antique shopping here. In every corner of this place you will find beautiful houses. Every corner is different to another corner. We kept stumbling across beautiful houses, canals and cathedral. Bruges is also called as the "Venice of North" because of it's canals. In Bruges you are surrounded by the best waffles, churros and of course chocolates. Trust me, they taste divine. I even managed to visit windmills here. As suggested by the locals, we visited Bruges by foot instead of taking public transport as it is lot better to reach everywhere quicker and also due to the fact Bruges is fairly small place.

Gosh, the Month of Relentless Positivity has been a bit patchy this year, hasn't it? I think I just have to be big enough to admit that October has gotten away from me. November's not looking all that sharp either.
On the home internet front, the good news is that our router issues have been cleared up. We have a replacement router which is working at peak efficiency, spreading wireless goodness to all corners of the house.
The bad news is that the router was never the problem in the first place. It turns out that the telecommunications cabling into the house – and throughout our neighbourhood in one of Canberra's older areas – is decrepit. Frayed, corroded and in some places comprehensively chewed, it's frankly amazing that our phone or ADSL connections have ever worked at all. As is the case in quite a few parts of the country, our communications infrastructure is just barely hanging in there. This helpful article on the ABC website summarises the parlous state of the copper wiring currently in use. It's a contemptible enough state of affairs in the abstract. In the flesh, so to speak, it's bloody annoying to me and my family.
The line technician who came out on Friday afternoon to cobble together a temporary cable, which bypasses the existing wires from the street to the house, told me he hates getting calls to my suburb. Invariably when he digs up the lines he finds a horrific Frankenstein's monster of stripped wiring, corroded conduits and rotting insulation. His visit left me in no doubt that I could expect to stay with the temporary fix for a long time to come, based on Telstra's copper replacement schedule, which can be charitably described as "unhurried".
On top of all that, in the last week or so our suburb was one of 500 or so quietly removed from the forward plan for rollout of fibre under the National Broadband Network project. Cough. No surprises there.
So the magic internet-waves have been restored to our house, for the time being at least. And I supposed in a way we are lucky, to be so unambiguously stripped of the complacent delusion that we are being provided with the service for which we pay.
You can't say fairer than that, can you?
Anyway, I'm going to resume my TMoRP blogs and take a shot at catching up on them. Between that and editing a couple of short stories, I should be pretty busy for the next few weeks.

When I return to Southern California, to the inland empire, I feel at home. In my body. It's not an emotional thing. It's not a relief. I just remember it. The air. Dry and warm. Soft even, with smog. Air that burns your lungs in the summer. Where you have to stay indoors. Where you can't see the mountains in July.
On days without smog, usually in the fall, when there's wind, there's a hush to the inland empire. Rancho Cucamonga, my hometown, is a suburb where no one walks. Everyone drives. And sometimes, no one does. If you take the right streets. If you drive out in the evening, the air orange and pink and green.
I went to a meeting in Cucamonga a few months ago. I never drank when I lived there. And I had never been to a meeting there, except once, in high school, for my sister during her 51-50 lockup at the hospital.
The meeting was like being at Walmart, in the way everything in the suburb is. But it was also like being at home. Like a homecoming. Like I had returned. I looked around the room and people were like people I knew. Family members. Like people from high school. They talked a lot about their jobs. It felt strange because it felt permanent. It meant that my being in recovery was real life. This was as real as driving down Church St. at sunset when I was 17, with the windows down, feeling free and wanting more of it. This was as real as writing in my room every year of my life. As real as everything that I ever did or experienced or struggled with as a kid. I was in recovery. Even in Cucamonga.
I remember my sister's Corolla in high school. How it smelled. Like chemicals. Like someone had been smoking speed in it. I remember sharing a math class with her because I had skipped ahead. Her sitting behind me, because it was alphabetical, showing up and then not showing up except once, when she came and late and sat with her hair covering her face and her forehead on her desk, the whole class and no one said anything about it.

Pastor begs court to terminate 25-year-old marriage
A pastor, Bernard Towoju, who says he cannot tolerate his wife's ill-nature and troubles, on Wednesday approached an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, seeking the dissolution of their marriage of 25 years.
Towoju said his wife, Abosede, was in the habit of going naked to swear for him with her private part.
"I cannot continue to make love with a woman who always swears for me with her private part," he said.
According to him, Abosede is stubborn, wayward and troublesome.
"She once came to my office to fight me and tore my clothes in the presence of my colleagues. We fight on daily basis and hurt each other a lot.
"We always land in the police station after our fight, in fact, we are regular customers at the station,'' he said.
The 53-year-old man also accused his wife of threatening his life.
"My wife always hits me with dangerous weapons whenever we are fighting.
"I had to run away from the house I built with my money 10 years ago to rent an apartment for safety.
"She chased me with cutlass, bottles and sticks; our neighbours can testify to that.
"I am afraid, I cannot sleep under the same roof with her with my two eyes closed," he said.
He begged the court to dissolve the marriage as he was no longer interested in the relationship.
In her defence, Abosede, however, accused her husband of calling her a witch.
"He said everywhere he went for solution to his problems they always told him that I am behind his predicament.
"My hands are clean, I know nothing about his woes,'' said the estranged wife.
"Bernard abandoned me and the children 10 years ago, I have been taking care of the children," the 36-year-old fashion designer added.
The mother of four urged the court not to grant her husband's request for the dissolution of the marriage, saying "I still love him."
The court's President, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case until Oct. 31 for further hearing.
