GALERAS Colombia 1.22°N, 77.37°W; summit elev. 4276 m
INGEOMINAS reported that during 15-22 November steam from Galeras rose from the main crater, two craters to the N and SW (Paisita and Chavas, respectively), and a crack on the N flank of the active cone. Seismicity was at low levels, although some earthquakes were characterized as "tornillo-type." During 23-24 November the seismic network detected an emerging seismic pattern of "tornillo-type" earthquakes similar to patterns detected prior to past eruptions. Gas emissions also decreased. INGEOMINAS raised the Alert Level to II (Orange; "probable eruption in term of days or weeks") on 24 November.

TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.467°S, 78.442°W; summit elev. 5023 m
IG reported that increased seismicity from Tungurahua was detected at 1540 on 27 November, and at 1650 the seismic network recorded four volcano-tectonic earthquakes. Two small explosions at 1701 and 1705 were followed by a large explosion at 1718. Pyroclastic flows descended the Achupashal, Chotanpamba, and Mandur drainages on the NW and W flanks. Two more large explosions were detected at 1731 and 1735. Incandescentblocks traveled 1 km down the flanks, and roaring noises and sounds resembling "cannon shots" were reported. Ashfall was reported in Manzano (8 km SW), Bilbao (8 km W), and Pillate (8 km W), ash and tephra fell in Cotaló (8 km NW), and tephra fell in Cusúa (8 km NW). At 1905 a pyroclastic flow descended the S and SW flanks.
At 0200 on 28 November an explosion ejected incandescent material that fell on all flanks, and generated apyroclastic flow that descended the Achupashal drainage. Starting before 0500 until 0900 an almost constant roar was heard and incandescent blocks traveled 1 km down the flanks, especially towards the W and NW. Threepyroclastic flows were noted on the S flank. Windows vibrated at the Tungurahua Observatory (OVT) in Guadalupe (14 km N). During the day, an ash plume rose 3 km above the crater and drifted in multiple directions. White ashfall was reported in Manzano, Choglontús (SW), Pondoa (8 km N), and Runtún (6 km NNE). In the evening incandescent blocks that were ejected 300 m above the crater rolled 400-500 m down the flanks. On 29 November an explosion detected at 0611 produced a small pyroclastic flow that traveled 500 m. Another pyroclastic flow at 0955 traveled 1 km W. Gas-and-ash plumes rose 4 km above the crater and drifted SE and W. According to a news article, people in high risk areas on the flanks, in communities such as Cusúa, Juive, Palictahua, and Manzano, evacuated voluntarily.

HIERRO Canary Islands (Spain) 27.73°N, 18.03°W; summit elev. 1500 m
Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) reported that during 23-29 November the submarine eruption continued S of El Hierro Island. During this period, the mean amplitude of the tremor showed a slight increase. On 26 November large steaming fragments of lava appeared intermittently floating over the emission center. On 27 November, the emissions were more intense and a few hundred fragments could be observed floating simultaneously, with mean dimensions between 0.5 and 2 m. Some samples of the fragments were collected from a ship near the emission area.
During the period, 121 seismic events were located, most of them offshore to the N of the island at depths of 15-23 km and a maximum magnitude of 3.3. Seven of these events were felt by residents at a maximum intensity value of III using EMS-98 (European Macroseismic Scale). GPS data analyses trended towards stability in the horizontal components, while in the vertical component most of the stations showed subsidence while stations in the NE of the island also trended towards stability.

KILAUEA Hawaii (USA) 19.421°N, 155.287°W; summit elev. 1222 m
During 23-29 November, HVO reported that the lava lake circulated and periodically rose and fell in the deep pit within Kilauea's Halema'uma'u Crater, remaining below the inner ledge (75 m below the crater floor). Almost daily measurements indicated that the gas plume from the vent continued to deposit variable amounts of ash and freshspatter nearby. Incandescence was visible from the E and W edges of the Pu'u 'O'o crater floor, and from the 21 September fissure on the SE flank of Pu'u 'O'o cone. Pahoehoe flows, fed through lava tubes from the fissure, continued to be active about 5.7 km SE of Pu'u 'O'o based on intermittent views from satellite. Incandescence from a skylight on the lava tube was also observed. Short lava flows issued from the E edge of the crater floor on 23 November and from both the E and W edges of the crater floor on 27 November.

PUYEHUE-CORDON CAULLE Central Chile 40.590°S, 72.117°W; summit elev. 2236 m
Based on seismicity during 23-28 November, OVDAS-SERNAGEOMIN reported that the eruption from the Cordón Caulle rift zone, part of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex, continued at a low level. Cloud cover prevented web camera views during 24-25 November, but satellite imagery showed a discontinuous ash plume drifting E and reaching the Atlantic Ocean on 24 November, and a fan-shaped ash plume spreading NE to SE on 25 November. Plumes observed with the web camera during 26-27 November rose 2.3-2.5 km above the crater. According to a news article, flights out of Uruguay were disrupted or cancelled on 26 November due to ash plumes. A plume observed in satellite imagery drifted 300 km E on 28 November. The Alert Level remained at Red.

SANTA MARIA Guatemala 14.756°N, 91.552°W; summit elev. 3772 m
INSIVUMEH reported that during 24-25 November block avalanches originated from the crater at Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex as well as from lava flows. Ash plumes rose 500 m above the crater and drifted SW. During 28-29 November explosions generated shock waves and rumbling noises, as well as ash plumes that rose 700 m above the crater and drifted W. Incandescence was observed at night from Caliente dome and avalanches from lava flows descended the S and NE flanks.

SHIVELUCH Central Kamchatka (Russia) 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3283 m
KVERT reported that moderate seismic activity was detected at Shiveluch during 18-25 November, and satellite imagery showed a daily thermal anomaly over the lava dome. Ground-based observers noted that a viscous lava flow continued to effuse in the crater formed during a 2010 eruption. An ash plume detected in satellite imagery drifted 21 km W on 18 November. Strong fumarolic activity at the lava dome was observed on 18, 21, and 24 November; clouds prevented observations on the other days of the week. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange.

Justin and Sally married September 18, 2010 in beautiful Pine Grove, California. Justin and Sally both entered a wedding contest we held in September of 2009. Couples were to submit their romantic story of how they met and proposed, and whoever won, received free wedding photography for their wedding day. My wife Kelly and I chose four of the best romantic stories, and had everyone in whole web world, as well as Facebook, and other means of the social network cast their vote. Justin and Sally won the contest.
I started out in the morning with the boys playing golf at Mace Meadows Golf Course Resort. I felt like a photojournalist interviewing Tiger Woods because Justin was that good (almost as good as Tiger). After that, I left down to the Skintique Day Spa to photograph the ladies with tons of smelly stuff and excellent hair and make-up artists. It's was pretty classy inside. Sally enjoyed herself preparing with the other ladies, which was clearly evident in her beautiful smile and laughter. We went up to Pine Grove, on Homestead dr., where the ceremony and reception was held. The location was this beautiful large home with flowers and lush green grass. Family and Friends gathered from near and far to support this wedding celebration. I had a wedding checklist of what I wanted to shoot before I came, but it really was a casual wedding with the feeling of close family. Both Justin and Sally love each other and it showed. Lastly, I just think it's awesome that the name of the DJ for the night was Willie Nelson.
There were other images I wanted to show, and I decided this time to try out a photography blog storyboard or collage blog I designed. I have tried it before, but this time I figured out how to put together templates for future use, measured for my blog. Enjoy this fresh new blog style. I may use it every so often!

How To See Your Story As The Treasure Of Your Brand
"I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." Brené Brown
If I polled 100 people and asked them how willing they would be to share their life story openly and publicly I would confidently bet (and I am not someone who likes to gamble) that 97% of the people I polled would say they are not comfortable with the idea of sharing their story with the world.
The thought of being vulnerable and sharing ourselves in a real, raw way can immediately lead to sweaty palms and feeling like you were just stripped down naked in front of a room of people. Women especially can feel an overwhelming sense of fear around judgment, comparison and lack of self worth.
You may feel embarrassed to share your truth out loud or you may carry around a limiting belief that your story isn't "powerful enough". If you have allowed yourself to be too fearful to share your story, know that you are not alone. I too have been there, selling myself every B.S. excuse imaginable that got me a whole lot of no where.
So what do I mean when I say "see your story as the treasure of your brand"? In a nutshell I am saying that you are completely 100% unique as is your story.
You would never find a hidden treasure exactly like another one. Each one would have its own one of kind container and that moment when you open it up to see what's inside, the contents would be a completely different blend of unusual items and valuable objects. Each treasure would be a different discovery each and every time. Your story is the same way. No one has your unique mix of experiences, skill sets, lessons, gifts and talents. No one can reveal the treasure of your story the way you can.
Your story is the most powerful marketing tool you have. Stories fascinate, inspire and deliver hope. I strongly believe that when we share our story, the world is never quite the same and when we take the time to listen to someone else share their story, it allows us to truly see people. Like a window being opened up to reveal their soul.
Your story can transform someone's life and open up space for them find the courage to share their own unique story. Authenticity allows us to connect on a much deeper, empathetic level.
Seeing your story as the treasure of your brand starts with letting go of your limiting beliefs and giving your story the validation it deserves.
To help you take action with this process start by opening yourself up to journaling. Writing your thoughts and emotions down can help you take that first step to sharing your story in a safe space.
Here are some writing prompts to help you kick this creative process off and discover the treasures hidden in #TheStoryOfYou:
• What are some of your most important child hood memories?
• What parts of your past are you holding on to and why?
• What valuable lessons have you learned from your life experiences?
• How has this molded and shaped you into the person you are today?
• If you had the chance to speak to a room of 100 people, what message would you feel convicted to share in hopes of helping to empower them in their own journey?
Once you allow yourself to dig deeper into the life experiences that have made you who you are, you can start making decisions about the parts of your story you will share and parts of your story you will keep for yourself.
For example, some women are fiercely passionate about sharing their stories of healing after a divorce. They are convicted to share this part of their life to let others know they are not alone. While others, like me who have been through a divorce, do not feel this is the direction of their calling even though it is part of their story. Only you know which parts of your story you are meant to share based on who you feel led to serve.
Your story gives you a unique insight. Someone may have heard a dozen other people talk about struggling with confidence issues, for example but they have never heard your perspective and the way you communicate a message around self confidence issues. It could be their defining "ah ha" moment. This is why it's so crucial for you to share your story and share it in a way that only you can.
Your story is the key that can unlock someone else's prison.
Have you ever been sitting in church or at an event and heard your pastor or guest speaker share a piece of their story and it felt like they were speaking directly to you because it aligned so closely with your life and personal struggles? Or you meet a friend for coffee and she shares with you that she is going through a personal hardship and you can completely sympathize with her because you have "been there done that"? Your ability to relate to her allows you to offer her priceless compassion and wisdom. The story creates an instant bond of trust like nothing else can.
Stories transform and inspire the lives of others every single day. Stories are where human connections are made and relationships are born. Your story is why people will do business with you. Yes, it requires being vulnerable. Yes, it requires letting go of the fear of what other people may think but the treasure that is shared and discovered in the process is invaluable.
Owning and sharing my story has been a life changing journey of self awakening and personal growth. When was the last time you shared your story or opened a safe space to allow someone to share theirs? I encourage you to embrace the positive impact storytelling can make on not only your life but in the lives of others. Make sharing your story a routine practice, especially if you aspire to grow a meaningful life and business.
Your story matters beautiful creative. Fearlessly share it with the world!
Are you ready to share your story to grow an authentic business and personal brand and know that some loving guidance and support would be invaluable? Join us inside The Creative Gristmill. We would be honored to have you xo

Chorus has teamed up with secondary schools to introduce students to the world of telecommunications and technology through its Schools Gateway Programme.
"For Chorus, the benefits are an increased awareness of the great careers available in our industry," says Michael Hansen, Manager, Service Company Implementation, Chorus.
"We also end up with a pool of skilled candidates for technical roles, including apprenticeships. The young people who are successful in this programme will develop useful skills that are relevant for a career in telecommunications.
"We believe that as a big industry player we have a role to play in helping young people get those skills."
Hansen says secondary school students are selected annually for Chorus' Gateway Programme for Telecommunications with three classes run per year with about 10 students per course.
During the sessions, students attend training classes run by the Chorus Technical Training team once a week for ten weeks, and learn the same skills that Chorus teaches its 2,500 strong contracted workforce.
According to Hansen, the students then follow up with work placements, putting into practice the theory they have obtained.
"Students spend the first part of the course at our Lab at 99 Khyber Pass - in the morning they learn theory about our network, followed by practical skills in the afternoon such as basic router skills and fibre splicing," he adds.
"Afterwards they go on a job placement - first at Chorus in Wyndham St, then out in the field with a Field Specialist."
Ministry of Education Group Manager for Youth Guarantee, Arthur Graves says the industry is calling for a more skilled workforce.
"If more of our top companies engaged with education like Chorus is in Auckland, our youth would have a much better chance of matching demand in the work place," he claims.
"They would also have an increased understanding of what their employment options are, and be inspired to follow a successful pathway to further study or work."
As a result of Chorus' Gateway programme, Year 12 and 13 students earn 10 NCEA sector related credits - five earned for successfully completing theory, and five earned 'on the job' making their learning relevant to a future career.
These credits go toward their qualifications and contribute to a Vocational Pathways Award in Manufacturing & Technology.
This term, Chorus has a range of schools involved, with 12 students from Rosehill College, Onehunga High, Mt Albert Grammar, Tuakau College, Aorere College and Mangere College taking part.
Hansen says Chorus is only in the second year of Gateway and has already employed students directly into its Apprenticeship Programme.
"We have seen a great success with some of these students accepted into apprenticeships with our service providers," he adds.
Hansen believes the Apprenticeship Programme gives those interested in pursuing a telecommunications career a 'foot in the door', and a chance to get their three year telecommunications qualification while earning at the same time.
"It is a three-year NZQA level 3 qualification which is completed while apprentices are employees," Hansen adds.
"The yearly intake varies, but the average would be a total of around 50 new apprentices per year across Chorus' service partners including Downer Engineering, Visionstream, or Transfield Services."
After discussions with NZQA there is now also a one year telecommunications qualification available, in addition to the three year course - this telecommunications qualification focuses on basic skills like electrotechnology, health and safety and numeracy and literacy.
"It widens employment opportunities and means that Chorus can ensure its workforce needs are being catered to from all angles," Hansen adds.
"We expect to start the pilot one-year programme with 20 people around June 2015. On completion, successful candidates will be able to continue through to the full level 3 qualification."
The field of telecommunications combines elements of IT, electrical, technology, and business disciplines.
For Hansen, it suits students who have aspirations in fields such as: field technician, field manager, technical helpdesk, technical designer, technical record and database management, technical consulting and sales, business analyst and people managers.
According to Hansen, good qualifications are essential to securing a good job and a higher income.
"New Zealand needs to increase the number of young people, moving into further education, training or employment," he adds.
"In particular, we need to improve the rate of NCEA Level 2 achievement, the minimum qualification a young person needs to get to be ready for a better future.
"We also need to increase the number of 15-19 year olds in education to ensure they get the qualifications and skills that will benefit them.
"We also need more young New Zealanders progressing to Level 4 or above, on the New Zealand qualifications framework, and moving into further education or skills training."
The Youth Guarantee provides 15-19 year olds more opportunities to study towards achieving NCEA Level 2, through programmes that make sense to them and have a clear pathway to further education, training and employment.

I'm interested in DX (long distance communications) mostly because from Hawai'i there are not really other options. But first I need an HF radio. I live in a condo and the building association as well as Waikiki have restrictions on what you can put on your lanai and what can be sticking out from the building. Antennas will be challenging, but I think I can come up with something.
Hawai'i doesn't have a lot of short distance HF like the mainland, but we do gain extra frequencies because of our location. In the FCC Part 97 rules, 97.307(f)(11) states, "Phone and image emissions may be transmitted only by stations located in ITU Regions 1 and 3, and by stations located within ITU Region 2 that are west of 130° West longitude or south of 20° North latitude."
What does that mean? Well, that restriction applies to frequencies listed in 97.307(f), which is here. For people in Hawai'i, it means we gain phone and image privileges on 7.075 MHz to 7.100 MHz in the 40 meter band. Take that, mainland! Oh, and Hawai'i is about 158° West longitude.
I am most likely going to get a portable HF radio, but not necessarily a mobile. I'd like to be able to take it to the top of Diamond Head or another mountain nearby and try things from there. Or travel with it. I'm leaning towards the Yaesu FT-817ND at the moment, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.
Extra class (the highest amateur radio license class in the US) will have to wait a while. It's a significantly more difficult test than General. General was simple after I studied a while, but it is definitely more difficult than Technician. Technician is mostly rules, operating procedures, and knowing frequencies and bandwidths.
Will I get Extra before KG6CIH? Maybe? (/me wonders if he's getting the book now)

Hello Dwellers and Welcome To The Basement…
It's Friday! Time To Go Over THIS WEEK With The Superheroes!
And right off the bat, let's talk about Axanar… or rather what has resulted because of the stupidity of one Alec Peters… first, if you're unaware of the fact that I'm anti-Axanar, welcome you must be new here!
CBS and Paramount has laid down the LAW Judge Dredd style with the 'Guidelines' for what is okay in the realm of Star Trek Fan Films. Perhaps the biggest one right off the bat is that the fan production must be less than 15 minutes for a single self-contained story, or no more than 2 segments, episodes or parts not to exceed 30 minutes total, with no additional season, episodes, parts, sequels or remakes.
Yeah considering a lot of long running fan productions, like Star Trek Continues, have episodes that run 45 minutes long… this is a hurting point, but a lot of the other guidelines, such as the work not being demeaning to Star Trek, those involved should not be paid and the work be non-commerical, plus no registering of trademarks along with the fact that the fan films cannot imply any association or endorsement by CBS or Paramount.
Some are making a stink about not being able to use actors from the franchise anymore, but to me that's a minor issue.
Then there is the fund-raising aspect, since Axanar raised 1.1 Million Dollars… limited fund raising is allowed, up to $50,000. To rent equipment, space and buy official costumes and props, that seems pretty fair for a fan production when one consider that El Mariachi, directed by Robert Rodriguez had a budget of $7,000 in 1991, with inflation comes to $12,346.93. A more modern film, Paranormal Activity was made on a budget of $15,000 in 2007, which is $17,379 in today's money… So yeah $50,000 is more than generous.
And of course, all this means Axanar cannot be made, since it violates every single guideline CBS and Paramount laid down. So Justice has been served
Some of the reactions of those affected by these guidelines has been classy, as they begin to figure out where to go from here with their series. Misty Mills of Star Trek Osiris said it best: 'We had guidelines (that) we've used for years without incident, He (refering to Alec Peters) ignored them'.
But then there are the reactions of those involved with Axanar, which have been interesting. The 'backers' those who threw money at the project are up in arms crying about how things are 'unfair' and that their money has been wasted… well a fool and his money are quickly separated, I would know, cause I'm quite the fool.
Then there is Robert Meyer Burnett, who after the guidelines came out implied he was going to ignore the rules followed by the realization that he has been pretty much banned from making anything Star Trek related, because no one in their right mind would put him in charge of a franchise product.
To bad no one at Sony used that same level logic when it came to selecting a director for Ghostbusters...
And speaking of which…
The 'New' Ghostbusters theme from Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliot is… well… terrible… I mean, it's sounds completely dated and not in a good way, it has that pop-punk garbage that you hear when stopping by a Spencer's Gifts or a Hot Topic, as in something that is aimed at people who think Twilight is a great piece of literature and are full of 'angst'. But seriously, how the hell do you screw up the melody and hook to a song that was based on Huey Lewis & The News' I Want A New Drug? How the hell is that even possible… oh I know with overdub and applying every single auto-tune effect to the instruments.
And I have not gotten to Missy Elliot's 'contribution' to this mess yet, the rap verse sticks out like a sore thumb that has be slammed repeatedly in a car door and contradicts the 'attempted' emo'ing of the Ghostbusters theme… her style of 'spitting rhymes' at a rapid fire pace just shows she was given a check to come up with some 'lyrics' (and I'm being generous with that term being used) and do a quick recording of them so it can be shoved into the 'song'.
So yeah I don't like it.
Maisie Richardson-Sellers will place Vixen on DC's Legends of Tomorrow. This is an 'all new Vixen', as the one seen on Arrow played by Megalyn Eechikunwoke on Arrow is the 'grandmother' of the one that will be on Legends of Tomorrow, which tells me this new Vixen is being picked up in the future. This is pretty cool, cause it allows for Arrow's Vixen to be used while giving Legends of Tomorrow a similar character.
Oh, as I was writing this, I saw that a Charles Baxter is already putting into plans his Star Trek inspired series called 'The Dakota Expanse' which he aims to follow every guideline of the new Star Trek Fan Film guidelines, telling the stories in an 'anthology' format. I'm wishing Mr. Baxter the best on his series!
Lynda Carter will be apart of Supergirl Season 2, and that's just awesome. Her portrayal of Wonder Woman is simply iconic, really engraved in stone the pop culture status that the Amazon has enjoyed for the past 40 years.
The first episode of The Flash's 3rd season is going to be called… Flashpoint… well folks, hoped you liked Wally West, he'll be missing from the show for the next couple of years!
Chris Pine made waves when saying 'You can't make a cerebral Star Trek in 2016, and that it wouldn't work in today's marketplace'… and I have to laugh at this, because he then said 'Star Trek Into Darkness has crazy, really demanding questions and themes, but you have to hide it under the guise of wham-bam explosions and planets blowing up'. Now I've seen Star Trek Into Darkness… there are no demanding questions and themes in that film. And I don't believe him when he says 'it can't be done', unless he means 'it can't be done with those of us currently involved' from JJ Abrams, to Justin Lin to the entire cast, which to me makes sense, cause really outside of Karl Urban, there isn't anyone involved with the JJ-Trek films who I could see being able to tackle a cerebral Star Trek plot. But hey there's an idea, center the fourth JJ-Trek movie around McCoy!
Anyway, as noted yesterday with the 'Sonic @ 25 – Let's Play' Video I posted (and blog I wrote), Sonic The Hedgehog is 25… and over the course of the past 25 years, he has seen a number of animated series, some good… some bad… and some… really really bad… however the gold standard is of course the SatAM series that ran on ABC back in 1994, which of course was continued in the Archie published comic books (one of which I talked about on Comics From The Basement a few weeks ago). The one thing that Sonic never had was a feature film on the big screen, with there being a question of how it should be done. There was a fan film made by Blue Core Studios a few years ago that gave a great idea of how it could be pulled of, with a mix of CGI and live actors… and treating the material 'seriously'. It is something worth checking out to celebrate the 'Blue Blur' (Which you can watch below)
And on that note, we'll close up shop. Tomorrow is Saturday, which means we'll be going over another episode of Doctor Who in Tales From The TARDIS!
Catch ya then!

Hi Guys,
We have an enterprise product which works on various Linux systems (RH, SLES, Ubuntu, CentOS etc.).
To publish regular updates to our product, we have created a custom product repository and hosted it on Amzon S3 bucket. While installation of our product we create a repo file under /etc/zypp/repos.d directory, so that customers can connect to our repository and update the product to latest version using zypper.
We are facing few issues on SLES 12. I would really appreciate if you can help me with it. Following are the details of these issues:
After executing æzypper cleanÆ if you execute æzypper refreshÆ command, it tries to search for a non-existent file viz. media.1/media in our repository and waits for user input
Permission to access '<URI of our REPO>/sles12/x86_64/media.1/media' denied.
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/...? shows all options] (a):
Observation in this case is little interesting, if you execute æzypper clean ¢aÆ indicating clean all the metadata, and then execute æzypper refreshÆ then this behaviour is NOT observed. So possibly when you execute only æzypper cleanÆ; it might not be cleaning all the repo metadata.
I did not find useful documentation which says how to create media directory in the repository.
File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'SDCSS repository for package updates' is unsigned, continue? [yes/no] (no):
After upgrading zypper to zypper-1.13.39-18.25.6.x86_64 version, we started getting this warning message.
since our product is installed on multiple Linux flavours we want to maintain only one GPG key. Hence we have created a GPG key on a CentOS machine. This key is used to sign all our product packages.
We tried to use the same key for signing repomd.xml file on our repository, and also placed .key and .asc file in the same location of repomd.xml. But from a client machine when we execute 'zypper refresh' command, we get an error saying that repomd.xml is signed with unknown key e.g.:
File 'repomd.xml' from repository 'SDCSS repository for package updates' is signed with an unknown key '83716237093FE940'. Continue? [yes/no] (no):
We are creating our repository using createrepo command.
Since zypper is waiting for an user input before proceeding, it will break the automation created by our customers.
If you can give some pointers in this regard, it will be really helpful for me.
P.S: Please let me know if this is not the correct forum to ask this question.

There is a long history between Germany and cars that it became a cultural subcategory. This is nowadays referred to as the German car culture. Today, Germany is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, along with United States, China, and Japan. German cars occupy the top positions on the list of the most famous and prestigious car brands. This includes brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, and Daimler Chrysler.
Cutting-edge Technology
Car manufacturers in Germany are keen in improving technologies and the innovation of the cars they produce. That is the reason why there is the term known as "German Engineering", which equates to good reliability. German cars are very well engineered, incredibly high-quality craftsmanship and high-tech machines. This is why engineering is one of the most respected professions in that country.

If you want a search partner that delivers then you need to hire Talence Group. They ask the hard questions that bring clarity for both clients and candidates. Talence Group focuses on addressing the immediate need but simultaneously advocate for a long-term perspective and ultimately that's why they're so successful.
NW Natural has had the opportunity to work the Talence Group on several critical recruits over the years including our CFO and CIO positions. They are extremely professional, thorough, and wonderful to work with. I am pleased to provide my endorsement to the team at Talence.
David Anderson
President & CEO
Erik Krieger
Key leadership development was a critical element of our strategic business plan for Guerdon Modular Buildings. We needed a partner that took the time to truly understand our model and culture, assess our existing team's strengths and weaknesses and rapidly fill gaps with world class talent. The Talence Group came on board with the assignment of locating and recruiting several executive and mid-level hires. From the start, we have been impressed with Talence Group's focus, dedication, market expertise, and, ultimately, success in finding and closing on qualified candidates.
We partnered with Talence Group for an executive-level HR search and were thrilled with the end results. Talence Group did an excellent job of learning about our organization by interviewing key stakeholders on our team. Talence Group garnered valuable information about our organizational culture and vision and determined precisely the kind of executive that would fit us best. All of the candidates selected by Talence Group were top-notch HR Executives, and we hired an individual who will play a significant role in our future development.
Chris McGowan
President & CEO
I reached out to Sherry and the team at Talence after receiving a strong recommendation from a trusted colleague at a local manufacturing company. We were so pleased with the quality of their work and the candidate they found for our Chief Information Officer position that we worked with them again for our Chief Financial Officer search. The process utilized was exemplary relative to other executive search firms I have used over the years. They thoroughly dig in to understand the business needs for the position being filled and they thoroughly scrutinize each candidate to ensure that we were only interviewing candidates that met the specifications for the job as well as being a good cultural fit. Not only was the process outstanding, working with the Talence team was a fabulous experience.
Lea Anne Doolitte
SVP & Chief Administrative Officer
As a board member at Leupold & Stevens, I led the search committee to find a new CEO and selected Talence Group as our search partner. Sherry and her team did an exceptional job of working with each of our board members to find points of alignment around the skills, values, leadership styles and strategic abilities needed by our next CEO. Talence Group narrowed a wide variation of expectations and presented us with a clear and concise job profile around which we aligned for our search. The most important attribute brought to our search was Talence Group's extraordinary ability to assess candidate qualifications. Sherry and team's judgment of candidates' leadership styles, personalities, experience, intellect and background proved to be spot-on. I confidently and enthusiastically recommend Sherry and Talence Group without reservation.
Jake R. Nichol
Monica Enand
CEO, Chairman &
I have known Talence Group's founder in a professional capacity for nearly 20 years. Sherry is amazingly driven and has developed a true expertise in recruiting. She is incredibly diligent and successful. I really enjoy having her staff our positions.
Greg Loeber
I hate using executive search firms. I think they cost too much, never provide the value they claim to, and are more interested in quantity versus quality. Well, that's now all changed…
The Talence Group worked hard to understand our culture, listened intently to what we needed, had a well-defined approach to managing the search process, brought a smart, industry-savvy recruiter to the table, offered sage advice, and saved me countless hours of time building a profile, researching target companies, sourcing and interviewing candidates, collecting information, and managing the offer process. After 20 years of hiring people, I've finally found a search firm that I'm happy to partner with for life, have fun with through the process, and am happy to pay in the end! Even better, I know I can trust them, and that they will stand behind their work.
Talence Group doesn't just recruit for us. For the past two years, Talence Group has been our trusted advisor and partner not only on a range of executive and management recruiting assignments, but also on executive-compensation and senior-management change initiatives. I've worked with a dozen recruiters in my career, and Sherry and team are the only ones I really trust. They are great listeners who keep me in the loop on their activities and call with ideas and questions to ensure they are meeting my recruiting needs.
Andrew W. Miller
President & CEO
I have worked with a number of search firms over the years and have not seen anyone do as thorough or as effective a job understanding our culture and learning about what we were looking for in a position as the Talence Group. Sherry has a special ability to both identify talent and to recognize how culture, personality and management style translates into a successful hire. As a result of Sherry and the Talence Group, we made two senior executive hires that have been clear home runs.
Gregg Kantor
We engaged Talence Group for a CEO search. Sherry has an uncanny ability to read people, and her customer service is impeccable. Most importantly, she helped me identify an incredible new leader for our organization who is a great fit with our culture, is passionate about the industry we serve and has strong, demonstrated leadership skills. If you need to find an executive, I highly recommend Talence Group.
Kimberly King
Vice President,
HR and OD
Todd Lewellen
HR Director
Talence Group founder Sherry is one of the best staffing professionals I've worked with and someone you always want on your team. She knows how to sit down with business leaders and develop a strategic hiring roadmap followed by a clear plan to fill the pipeline and recruit the best talent. Her ability to develop a winning value proposition for candidates is top-of-class, and she's proven it across a diverse mix of companies. She brings energy and enthusiasm to every assignment, rolls up her sleeves and delivers.
Talence Group founder Sherry Cadsawan is the best strategic Talent Acquisition Director I've worked with during my 30 years in corporate human resources. She is ambitious, driven, resourceful and astute. She knows how to identify the best and the brightest and surgically extract them from their current roles. Sherry is passionate about candidate care, understands the strategic implications of staffing, and knows how to build a recruiting team that shares her commitment to excellence and urgency.
Dennis Hopwood
VP of Human Resources
Talence Group goes beyond sourcing candidates and presenting them to clients. Sherry and team truly believe there must be a perfect fit with a company's strategy and culture, and they work hard to deliver that fit. They treat potential candidates, not just the companies they work with, as clients. Talence Group is an amazing resource to senior managers and executives, and I recommend the firm highly.
Debi Muchow
HR Director
I've partnered with Talence Group's founder, Sherry, on numerous recruiting projects spanning technical engineering to senior management. Talence Group is one of the most results-oriented, persistent recruiters I've worked with. The team drives hard to provide a solid selection of qualified candidates, not just one, and always delivers. Their expansive network and passion for talent sourcing also set them apart from other search firms.
Sean Riley
Corporate VP/GM Infrastructure Business Unit
We worked with Sherry of Talence Group while on assignment with Lattice Semiconductor. We were constantly impressed with her experience and knowledge, as well as her ability to get things done and build relationships at all levels of an organization. Smart, creative and proactive, she's an extremely talented recruiting and HR professional and would be an asset any company.
Brian Bedford
Executive Consultant
Katherine Durham
VP, Corporate Marketing & Communications and Individual Disability Insurance
I recently worked with Talence Group to hire a VP in my Marketing organization. I was incredibly impressed with the Talence Group approach. They brought in a small team to quickly get to know our needs by interviewing stakeholders in the organization and getting a clear picture of what we were looking for in skills, experience and cultural fit. They brought us a number of qualified candidates and were always focused on finding a good long-term fit for us, not a quick close for them. I highly recommend Talence Group for any leadership search work.

At StoneHouse Logic we are passionate about apprenticeships – we have always found great staff through this route, across the business we currently have 3 apprentices and 6 staff who started out as one.
The production team from 2BR came into our head office and interviewed both Commercial Director Sally Hope and former apprentice Jack Doran for the advert.
Jack talked about starting as an apprentice and how comfortable and happy he is working here and Sally explained what it is that StoneHouse Logic looks for in an apprentice.
Sally said: "We need people who love computers and want to work in this industry – everything else we can teach them along the way. The main thing we look for is enthusiasm and the desire to learn and to give it their all."
We are hoping that our advert will encourage more apprenticeship applications and we will find more talented individuals to join the ever growing team here at StoneHouse Logic.

Why are the newspaper giants Times of India and The Hindu taking out TV ads about each other???? We could have not missed the remarkable ads by the Bennett,Coleman & co. Ltd giant and that from Kasturi & Sons Ltd. giant.
There first came an add that shows a guy who always falls asleep at all sorts of places,including at a parade in which a band plays loud music.This guy keeps nodding off all the time,and then it turns out that the reason he's always so sleepy is because he reads The Hindu,which (according to them) is so boring that it puts anyone who reads it to sleep.
So what did the add suggest???? (well i had to see the add twice to understand that they were targeting the Hindu) If u don't want to snooze off at odd times,you'd better switch to the excitement filled TOI.
Is Hindu boring??? well i think The Hindu takes the general seriousness to lengths of severity.
Then came the iron packed, set solid add of the Hindu which showed young people being interviewed on the street and who couldn't correctly answer questions on current affairs but knew everything there was to know about bollywood trivia.The add hinted that all these clueless perplexed people were TOI readers....
all TOI readers clueless???/ just because they answered Kareena's pet name correctly doesn't mean they are not smart ( :P oops.. :))
I think the TOI makes everything it says light and frothy which reaches the people easily than the weighty and profound ones of the Hindu. TOI concentrates mainly on the colorful columns and their free spaces.
But why have the two giants waged a war against each other???? Is it any market strategy??? (may be) if so.. why have they left the Hindustan times then..:) way to go ...

Last Week:
Editor's Note: This is a good example of "pretty close journalism." During last week's presentation, I was forced to take notes in the dark, so I may be a little fuzzy on the details. Thanks for your patience. Here it comes.
Do you want to see a $150 billion increase in annual giving to health and human service nonprofits?
Dan Pallotta, a social entrepreneur and humanitarian activist, believes it can happen if we rethink our approach to charitable fundraising. He says we have it all wrong. By borrowing some of the private sector's rules of the road, we could dramatically increase the resources available for the causes we support.
President Rich shared a TED Talk Pallotta gave recently on this issue. Matthew said he hopes it will stimulate a conversation about our personal and club philosophies on charitable giving.
Charitable giving has been stable at about 2 percent of gross national product for the last 40 years. Even a 1 percent increase would generate another $150 billion annually, Pallotta estimates.
But he says, we have to stop confusing morality with frugality. Nonprofits' success is limited by conventional beliefs that suggest: 1) Nonprofit executives should sacrifice compensation for the opportunity to work in a mission-driven organization; 2) Advertising is an expense, not an investment; 3) We must play safe with donated dollars, which discourages innovation and risk-taking; 4) We can't afford to operate with long time horizons or long-term investments; 5) Overhead is a dirty word. There should never be money left over.
Progress on social and humanitarian initiatives is slow on many fronts. Poverty for 10 percent of our population is an intransigent problem. He said if we want to follow Buckminister Fuller's advice and work for a "world that works for everyone" we need to make changes. That will be up to each one of us.
For another look at Pallotta's TED talk, go to: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_about_charity_is_dead_wrong?language=en.

Banned chemicals replaced by worrisome ones, UCSF study shows
A federal ban on chemicals that soften plastic in products is showing signs of success as decreased levels of the substances are being detected in people, but similar and potentially toxic compounds seem to be emerging in their place, a new UCSF study says.
Researchers say their findings, published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, is the first to show how exposure to these chemicals - phthalates - has evolved in a large sample of the U.S. population from 2001 to 2010.
Phthalates are often used to make plastic flexible and harder to break, and have been found in toys, vinyl flooring, adhesives, detergents, lubricating oils and medical tubing. In personal care products, including nail polishes and soaps, they can be used to hold color and scents. They are not chemically bound to products, making it easy for humans to ingest, inhale and absorb through skin.
Phthalates consist of several compounds, each with a slightly different structure, and some have been regulated because they have been associated with harmful health effects.
Unknown effects
But the new research shows that the banned phthalates seem to have been replaced by other phthalates with unknown health effects, "and those are the ones that look like they're going up," said Tracey Woodruff, the study's senior author and director of UCSF's Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment.
She and lead author Ami Zota led a similar study last year that showed that exposures in pregnant women to a class of flame retardants declined after the chemicals were banned in California.
Federal ban
The federal government banned the use of three varieties of phthalates - DEHP, DnBP and BBzP - in 2008 in amounts greater than 0.1 percent in toys and other child care items. Together, those varieties have been linked in human studies to reduced sperm quality, increased sperm DNA damage and altered male genital development; and in animal studies to malformations in reproductive organs, damaged sperm and liver damage.
For the study, researchers analyzed decades of data on urine samples from 11,000 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is conducted annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Exposures to DEHP, DnBP and BBzP all went down, as researchers expected.
Puzzling increase
But exposures to three other kinds of phthalates, DiNP, DiDP and DnOP, increased. DiNP rose by nearly 150 percent, which suggests it is being used to replace other phthalates. The increase is puzzling because Congress has banned them pending further study from toys that can be placed in a child's mouth.
California declared DiNP a carcinogen last month under Proposition 65, which requires products containing significant amounts to be labeled, but overall, scientists know little about the health effects of these three varieties, Woodruff said.
Woodruff theorized that "the ban may work for toys, but it's not going to address all the different places where there could be phthalates," like cosmetics and flooring materials.
Consumer advocacy
One explanation for the vacillation in phthalate exposures is that, at the urging of health advocates, 1,000 companies have pledged to remove toxicants from personal-care products and more clearly report the ingredients they put in their products. Woodruff said it is hard to know which chemicals have been removed and used in their place, but her study showed that some phthalates have fallen without being banned.
Low exposures
"What it shows is if there's action from consumers or advocacy groups or the government to do something about phthalates, it can make a difference in everybody's exposures," she said.
The American Chemistry Council said the data used by the UCSF researchers shows that people generally have low exposures to phthalates overall.
But Ruthann Rudel, research director at the Silent Spring Institute in Massachusetts, said regulators should take lessons from findings like UCSF's. In 2012, Rudel and a team conducted their own analysis of 213 personal care products, and found that while some did not contain well-known phthalates, they contained less-studied ones that were likely substituted.
How it happens
"We put things out there, start using them in products, then we get concerns, then we substitute something else we don't know anything about," she said. "We've got to come up with some sort of standard for safety in commercial chemicals ... and then work with the chemicals that meet that standard."

Imagine the space in your shop as your most valuable employee. Literally every square metre is important and has its own job to do. In this article, we serve up 4 hacks on how to create an engaging environment that drives sales in your retail shop!
It's a warm and sunny day. A customer enters your shop having one particular product in mind. "I want those black Ray Bans I saw in your window, they'd match my white linen shirt". 10 minutes later, he or she leaves with not one but two pairs of glasses – and a hat! (A Borsalino Panama hat, in case you wondered).
How did it happen?
By displaying of your awesome products in a smart way – here are four tips for how to create a shop interior that makes people buy (more of) your products!
Why this matters
Visual merchandising is about convincing the customer who entered your shop with one purchase in mind to leave the shop with two, or even three! With the right tweaks to your retail space they'll pick up a few new favourites that feel relevant, make them happy and get them coming back for more. Successful shop design can be the difference between profit or loss.
Strategic shop design can make up the difference between loss or profit.
1. Don't show off – immediately
Where am I? That's what your customer will inevitably ask, having taken the first steps into your shop. Once your customers have crossed the threshold, they're in a kind of transition stage, where they tend to miss products, messages or offers. Don't place products that require focused attention close to the entrance.
Walk in and out of your shop again. Put yourself in the mind of a prospective customer. Will they immediately get the concept you're trying to convey? If not, how can you make it more obvious?
Bonus tip: Both sound and smell directly impact the decision-making process of your customer. Don't miss our "Why science says you should play music in your shop" article. Also, think about what kind of oil diffusers can you place in your shop to enhance the atmosphere.
2. Keep it (to the) right
Don't only play it right but play to the right. Several studies have shown that customers immediately look to the right after they have entered a shop. Use this wall to place your high-margin products, including seasonal items, and anything you want to sell instead of marking down. So logically, don't place your counter to the right.
Most impulse-buys take place at the counter.
3. Create your own shopping path
We know that you don't own a shop the size of a football pitch (or a five-floor H&M store), but put some extra thought into how you organise your merchandise. The aim should be for your customer to automatically see as much of it as possible. Create an invisible path that your customer follows – and maximize exposure for your products.
Bonus tip: Put attractive items visibly at the very bottom of the shop. Remember that your feet follow your eyes!
4. Maximise your counter space
Your counter should have enough space for the customer to place both their bag and purchase. The days of clunky cash registers and money boxes are over, a modern and sleek payment solution like iZettle card machines frees up space on this valuable piece of land.
Don't underestimate the potential of the counter! Carefully select what items you want to display here – this is where the most impulse-buys take place.
Remember that the wall behind the counter is an excellent spot to place interesting displays or powerful information you'd like to share with customers. I bet you've also found yourself unconsciously staring at this wall while the cashier finishes up the transaction (at the very least to avoid gazing into the eyes of the cashier for too long.)
Bonus tip: Don't forget the space under the counter. When you ask your customer: "Did you find everything you were looking for today?", keep typically "forgotten" items under the counter so you can quickly pull them out and offer them. It's a sign of excellent customer knowledge and service!

Despite all the progress in understanding the nature of light what Samuel Johnson said about light (quoted by Boswell in 1776) still holds good :
" We all known what light is but it is not easy to tell what it is?"
It is reported that the first practical optical instrument- later called spectacles- were in use in 1270 in Florence, Italy. Progress in glass making and metallurgy was evident in the glass furnaces of Venice in the early 13 the century. A British glass-maker, George ravens croft improved the quality of glass by adding lead to the chemical composition in 1674. Four years later, Huygens suggested that light travels as a wave. No one took it seriously. In 1704 Newton famously declared that light traveled as a ray as it took a long time to counter Newton's particle theory of light . Improved optical properties of glass triggered new ideas about the nature of light.
It was realized that unlimited magnification of images was not possible as the waves would diffract. A point source of light through a circular lens would look like a fuzzy spot with faint rings around . It is now called an Airy spot after George Airy who first described it. It was found that the spot would depend on the diameter of the optic and the wavelength of light .the airy spot would otherwise become simply bigger and not capacity of a telescope.
Young had another brilliant idea. He calculated the wavelength of colored light from the way in which light bands are spaced. Thus violet has the shortest wavelength (380-440 nano-meters), ultramarine blue, 440 -483 nm, while red has 610-705 nm. Actually these limits are given for our convenience. The colors in the visible spectrum are limitless.

How Dreams Become Residential Structures: Luxury Villa in Brazil
How does it feel to be the proud owner of a luxury villa in Brazil? We should ask Brazilian TV presenter Alex Lerner, he's enjoying his fascinating home in Rio de Janeiro as we take a virtual tour via photos by G + SG fotografia de arquitectura. Imagined by Studio Arthur Casas (whom you might remember building the fabulous Baleia Condo residential complex) this home was built to serve the owner with a comfy, elegant and private heaven.
Evergreen vegetation surrounds this piece of heaven adorned with cumaru wood and vivid greenery. Two guest rooms and two more apartments for the maid and the gardener are situated on the lower level. On the third level, the master bedroom showcases framed panoramas of the ocean beyond the glass.
Clean design lines and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels make for a modern "shell" divided into social and private spaces. From the inside, all is open and inviting – a fusion of indoor and outdoor designed with utmost care. The spacious swimming pool was one of the owner's requests. Also, the stone used to erect this luxury Brazilian villa has the same color as the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem – this was a special request that was put into play in a modern, attractive way.
Spreading over 5,200-square-feet, the home was set up on two levels with the main entrance located on the second level. Here, the living area extends out to the pool deck, gathering stunning panoramas of the surroundings. There are numerous places that exude a heavenly feeling. This is one of them, do you agree?

For the past few years I have had the opportunity to be a staff photographer for the San Diego Comic Con. It's always a great experience and I come home with some fun images.
All the effort that the fans put into their costumes is one of the things I look forward to most of all. Here are a few of my favorites from the 2013 show.
How appropriate…a zombie bride. Luckily none of my clients look like this. Haha.
More zombie action.
A great Wonder Woman costume.
Those of you with kids or just spongebob fans will recognize Mermaid Man. Somebody was walking by as I was taking the picture and they yelled "Hey where's Barnacle Boy?" He answered, "He couldn't get a ticket to the Con."
A plethora of princesses.
Hey kids…stay in school and Supergirl says smoking is bad for your you.
These two are great. I have seen them the last few years in a row. The Comic Con Mariachis.
Stars and stripes
Jay and silent Bob
Steampunk Batman
SteamCrow the Steampunk Scarecrow.
Another costume I remember from last year…leisure suit Boba Fett with his friend Darth Pimp.
Darth Vader with an intentional photobombing by Luigi.
Gladiator on an escalator.
Another cool scarecrow costume.
Coors light warrior. I like the details in this one like the genuine six pack abs and the "chainmail" can tab gauntlets.
I don't know who these two are but I like it.
I think this one is pretty self explanatory. Yes they were singing and dancing.
Scary chainsaw lady.
There was a booth from a makeup and special effects school and they were applying some elaborate costumes.
The Walking Dead area in the Comic Con.
Here are some actors in the autograph area.
Edward James Olmos
Boomer from the original Battlestar Galactica
Adrian Paul from the Highlander series.
Richard Anderson who has been in a ton of stuff but may be best known for his work in the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.
Trina Parks played "Thumper" in the Bond movie Diamonds are Forever.
Tera Patrick
Kevin Eastman co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
John Ratzenberger with a fan who brought him beer mugs to sign.
Claudia Wells from Back To The Future.
Ashley Scott who has been in a bunch of TV shows including Jericho.
There is a section of 1:8 scale models that are pretty amazing in their details. Here are a few:
Dr. Doom
Darth Maul
Cat Woman
The Joker
And of course there are the panels in Hall H. Here is the panel on the upcoming movie I, Frankenstein.
Yvonne Strahovski
And the lead role played by Aaron Eckhart. Someone asked him if he stayed in shape and this was his response.
I also went to the panel for the new Hunger Games movie: Catching Fire. Here are some of the actors in it.
Lenny Kravitz and Willow Shields
Liam Hemsworth
Josh Hutcherson
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer and Josh
Here is the panel from the TV show The Grimm.
Claire Coffee
Silas Mitchell and Bree Turner
Silas and Bree again.
Sasha Roiz
Russell Hornsby
Reggie Lee
Claire and Reggie
David Giuntoli and Bitsie Tulloch
So another year of madness has come and gone with Comic Con 2013. I hope you enjoyed my pictures of this year's show.
