Tennessee's Ten Most Common Myths about Forestry and Wildlife Management
Myths Are Worse Than Just Not Knowing
Tennessee is blessed with diverse forests that support a variety of wildlife and produce a variety of wood products. Forest landowners, with the help of foresters, can improve wildlife habitat while improving their timber.
Here are the most common misunderstandings about forest and wildlife habitat management, and reasons why timber production and wildlife are compatible.
Many people think that the best way to harvest timber is to cut the big trees and let the little trees grow. This assumes that small trees are young and big trees are older. But in many cases large trees and smaller midstory trees are about the same age. The larger trees grew faster.
Cutting the largest and best trees is called "diameter limit cutting" or "high grading". High grading takes the most valuable trees and leaves the less valuable – slow growers, crooked, rotten, less desirable species, etc. – to compose the future forest. This is like a dairy farmer selling his best milk producers and keeping the inferior cows for breeding and milking.
The preferred alternative to high grading is often to harvest all the trees. This benefits wildlife immediately by producing browse, insects and hiding cover and in the long term provides heavy mast (nuts, acorns, etc.) yields from maturing trees. It also benefits future timber production by providing the full sunlight that many valuable timber species need and allowing the fastest growing trees to form the future stand.
Clearcutting is the cutting of all trees on an area of more than one acre. It is a valuable technique for both timber and wildlife management.
Clearcutting benefits timber production by allowing the reproduction and growth of a wide variety of species, including those that demand full sun, such as yellow-poplar, oak, walnut, and ash. This is important, since these shade-intolerant species are some of the most valuable and fastest growing. Their reproduction is not possible using partial cutting methods alone. Clearcutting eliminates low quality and slow-growing trees that interfere with the regeneration of shade-intolerant species.
Clearcutting benefits wildlife by providing plentiful browse and cover. It also increases habitat diversity and edge, a valuable habitat component for many species, by providing young forest next to older forest.
The optimum size of a clearcut for wildlife depends on the species being considered and the shape of the clearcut. A general rule of thumb for many species is 10 to 25 acres. Larger areas are underutilized by wildlife, because they tend to roam no more than a few hundred feet away from the safety of nearby woods. Some species, such as the neotropical migrant prairie warbler and yellow-breasted chat, prefer very large clearcuts.
Large clearcuts are more efficient and economical to manage for timber production than many small clearcuts. Large clearcuts also minimize forest edge, where shade interferes with reproduction and growth of young trees, and where sunlight on the trunks of neighboring forest trees can cause undesirable growth of new branches that cause knots on the valuable first logs.
Clearcutting is no more apt to cause erosion than selection cutting. Any method of timber harvest can cause erosion if done improperly. Erosion can be prevented by using simple guidelines called Best Management Practices, or BMPs. Virtually all erosion caused by timber harvest occurs where roads and skid trail cross or come too close to streams. This is easy to avoid through using BMPs.
Most of the harvested area retains its protective litter layer and root mat, which prevent the soil from washing and filter out sediment that washes off roads and skid trails. Research has shown that if sufficient space is left between roads and streams, and if streams are crossed properly, little sediment will enter the stream as a result of timber harvest.
The potential for erosion is probably greater when conducting selection cutting than when clearcutting. More roads, landings and skid trails must be constructed over a larger area in order to remove the same volume as would be harvested from a smaller area of clearcut. And the cutting cycle is shorter for selection cutting, which requires more frequent reentry and disturbance.
There is some truth to this myth. Even with the best management, a pine stand where seedlings are planted close together may lack diversity and food for 5 to 8 years. But this is only one stage in the life of a pine forest. Properly managed, other life stages of a pine plantation can be very beneficial to wildlife. A pine stand can add diversity to a hardwood forest and provide better shelter for wildlife than a hardwood stand. And during the first 5-6 years after planting, a wide assortment of grasses, forbs, and browse provides an abundance of food for wildlife. A wide variety of animals use young pine plantations including deer, turkey, quail, hawks, and certain migratory songbirds.
Starting at age 15 to 18, a pine stand should be thinned every 5-10 years, both to increase timber yield and quality and to benefit wildlife. A lot of sunlight strikes the floor of a thinned pine forest, and this allows the growth of a variety and abundance of wildlife foods. Use of prescribed fire can also benefit wildlife by opening up the forest floor and allowing the growth of tender nutritious browse.
Pine plantations can provide good wildlife habitat for most of their lives, but to do so they must be managed, primarily through use of timely thinnings and prescribed fire.
Not all forest sites are highly productive for either timber or wildlife – over half, according to a US Forest Service estimate. Good sites produce fast-growing, tall, straight trees with few limbs, and lots of wildlife food. Poor sites, usually found on ridges and south and west slopes, produce slow-growing poor quality hardwood timber and much less wildlife food.
Pine can produce a fast growing, valuable crop on sites where hardwoods do poorly. Pines, if properly managed, are far from being a "wildlife desert" (see myth #4.) Pine growers in hilly country commonly grow pine on ridges and manage for hardwoods in the drainages, where the best sites are. This diversifies wildlife habitat and provides the best use of the land for profitable timber production.
In 2011, only 5 percent (722 thousand acres) of forests across the state were of artificial origin (planted). Ninety-five percent of all forests in the state originated though natural reproduction. The number of acres originating from planting activity has remained between 4 and 5 percent of all forest land acreage in recent years (1999-2011).
Many hardwoods make excellent wildlife habitat, but some species are of little value. These include cottonwood, sycamore, sourwood, hornbeam and hophornbeam, bitternut hickory and, with some exceptions, elm, ash, maple and yellow-poplar.
Myth #8: If plenty of mast-producing oaks are present, there is no need to provide other food for wildlife.
"Mast" is a collective term for the fruit of forest plants used by wildlife. "Hard mast" consists of nuts including acorns, walnuts, beechnuts, and hickory nuts. "Soft mast" includes dogwood berries, wild cherries, persimmons, maple seed and the soft fruits of many other species.
Many animals rely on acorns as one of their main food sources. But acorns are not available all year, and yields of acorns are sporadic. Animals must have other foods, such as browse for deer and insects and seeds for turkeys. These other food sources are just as important as acorns.
A variety of year-round food sources is most available in a diverse intensively managed forest. Every management activity affects wildlife and the food supply. Clearcut areas where timber is regenerated provide excellent year-round deer browse and forage. They also furnish fruit, seed, and insects needed by turkeys, quail, and many other birds. When such areas are interspersed among forested areas of varying age and size, they provide access to food and cover needed by practically all species of wildlife. Areas in which adequate food, cover, and water are provided on a continuous basis will attract and retain wildlife indefinitely. Harvesting and regenerating oaks will assure a supply of oaks of seed bearing age (25 to 80 years) for the future.
Additional forest management practices that enhance wildlife habitat include periodic thinnings and prescribed burning, both of which give rise to nutritious browse growth, forbs, grasses, and seed bearing plants. Since all forest environments exist in a constant state of growth and change, harvest cuttings, thinnings, and prescribed burns must be conducted every few years to maintain habitat quality.
Prescribed fire can benefit wildlife, especially if combined with thinning. Research has shown that burning can result in more than a five-fold increase in available wildlife food. Prescribed fire used every 2-3 years on the forest floor will keep browse (brush and hardwood sprouts) within reach of deer and will stimulate the growth of nutritious forage plants. Quail and turkey also benefit because heavy brush is removed and seed-producing plants are encouraged to grow. Prescribed fire is not recommended in hardwoods if timber production is an objective because hardwoods lack the thick protective bark of pines.
The herbicides used in forestry today have low toxicities to humans and animals, most of them less than the same amount of table salt or aspirin. No carcinogenic effects have ever been shown from today's herbicides.
Most herbicides bind to soil particles and tend not to move. They break down very quickly. Most persist for only a few weeks or months. They are applied in extremely low volumes – only a few ounces or pounds per acre. And they are applied infrequently, only at the beginning of the planting/harvest cycle, which is only once every 20 years even in the most frequent cases.
The federal government has stringent requirements for applying herbicides. All herbicides must go through a testing and licensing process. They must be applied according to detailed instruction by trained and licensed applicators. As an extra safeguard, best management practices have been developed by the State for proper and safe application.

iPad keyboard case roundup: Logitech Folio vs. Belkin Ultimate vs. ClamCase Pro
Listen, you probably shouldn't be here. The iPad is a pure and carefully honed machine. If its designers wanted you to use some kind of ludicrous hybrid contraption that fused a tablet with a physical keyboard and doubled the weight, they'd have built one for you. But they didn't. So go away and don't come back until you've saved enough money to buy a MacBook Air. (Still here? Good, because we're about to compare three of the latest iPad keyboard cases: the ClamCase Pro, Logitech's Folio and Belkin's Ultimate Keyboard, designed to fit 2nd, 3rd and 4th-gen tablets. Read on for more.)

Structural Readiness
Second-level education services provided by Nokiiwin.
The Structural Readiness Program is designed to increase the capacity of Nokiiwin Tribal Council to provide second-level education services. Keep checking this page for details on all the capacity building activities under this initiative.
First Nation Principal's Program
On September 24-25, 2015, the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative hosted the "First Nation Principal's Program" at the University of Toronto. There were 21 participants from across Canada that were invited to be a part of this pilot training session. Jacky Craig, Principal of Netamisakomik Centre of Education, and Fay Zoccole, Education Navigator of Nokiiwin Tribal Council, were in attendance and included to act in the role of Course Evaluators. Craig and Zoccole are currently taking the online course and will offer recommendations of changes that will enhance the program that aimed for First Nation principals on reserve. Unlike the current training offered at universities, the First Nation Principal Course offered at OISE meets the unique needs of First Nation communities and people.
The guiding principles for the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative include:
- Eliminating gaps Aboriginal elementary and secondary education in partnerships with First Nations, Metis Nation and Inuit;
- Improve graduation rates for Aboriginal students by working in partnership with Aboriginal organizations, public and private organizations, public private organizations, governments, businesses, and non-government organizations;
- Implement targeted programs based on research for First Nations, Metis Nation and Inuit students; and,
- Build a foundation of Aboriginal-based knowledge and learning practices that can be used as a resource for teachers and students across Canada.

Moving the bus stop so it takes up critical parking in front of The Lone Gull? You're kidding right? This has got to be some cruel joke. ARGHHHHHHH!
Because for the fucking life of me I gotta believe that no rational human being would take away parking in front of one of the hub storefronts that bring people downtown on a daily basis- namely The Lone Gull. Will someone tell the people responsible for this travesty- this sham- this shamockery- that they are getting in the way of my coffee consumption and that's never a good idea?
C'mon, seriously. April Fools Day was three weeks ago. Enough with the funny stuff.
Was it not possible to move this bus stop in front of the VACANT former EMPIRE BUILDING or some other location that doesn't rely on people coming and going quickly????? There must be a reason for it but at the moment all I can think of is the literally thousands of people that regularly flock to The Lone Gull as a meeting point and energy hub of Downtown. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To make things even more puzzling, I just spoke with my buddy who owns Passports, the restaurant in front of which the bus stop was moved from. You figure he might be ecstatic about the move, right? He tells me he has never complained about the bus stop being in front of his place, was totally used to it, and figured it made sense where it was because there was good visibility and benches right there.

Nov 04, 2016 Jorah Star Wars 0
Alright, The Force Awakens is fantastically better in practically every aspect as compared to the Star Wars prequels, which was written and directed by George Lucas.
However, The Force Awakens has had criticisms against it. For example, some have stated that the film's plot is excessively similar to that of A New Hope. Others have blamed the character for Rey of being a 'Mary Sue'. There is unquestionably some truth in these conclusions. However for the most part, the seventh Star Wars has legitimately been named as the film the fans both needed and merited in 1999.
Subsequently, when comparing the prequel trilogy with The Force Awakens, it is not bizarre to hear it stated that the latter supersedes the previous in each and every way. This is just not true. As it is, there are things that the prequel trilogy really showed improvement over The Force Awakens. Here they are…
5. Making Iconic Action Sequences
The prequel trilogy's numerous action sequences can be best described as either hit or miss. When they missed, they were over-choreographed, excessively long, regularly included appalling especial effects and were for the most part emotionless and pointless in a Bay-esque mould. When they hit, however, they could be really mind boggling.
Scenes like the Duel of the Fates, the pod-race from Episode I, or the opening space-fight from Episode III, pushed the limits of what was viewed as conceivable in film-production.
However, The Force Awakens does not have a key action sequence or scene which will be associated with for years to come. This does make sense since the film is significantly more driven by the characters than by insignificant blasts or fancy lightsaber duels. However, it's no exaggeration when we say that that the action found in The Force Awakens could be found in any modern blockbuster film.
4. Making A Visually Memorable Villain
Everyone recalls the minute from the trailer, when the wicked face of Maul is revealed, before he ignites his double-sided lightsaber. It's a minute engraved on the psyches of even those who scorn The Phantom Menace.
On the other hand, Kylo Ren is a decent scoundrel: he's threatening, intense and candidly perplexing. However,he isn't visually memorable. In fact, non-fans will probably mix up Kylo Ren for Darth Vader than remember him in his own. As it is, clad in black robes and with an exceptionally well known mask, KyloRen looks amazingly like Darth Vader. This implies The Force Awakens lacks what both the first and prequel trilogy had; an unmistakable villain who fans and non-fans like equally.

What's New with SharePoint Tools for Visual Studio 2012
In this interview, Xiaoying Guo, a Program Manager on the SharePoint tools team, shows us some of the new tools in Visual Studio for developing SharePoint 2010 & 2013 Apps and solutions. New tools include building Visual Web Parts for sandbox solutions, remote deployment of packages, and a list designer as well as new templates for building SharePoint 2013 apps. I'm a newbie to the new apps model, but Xiaoying helps me understand the differences as well as the flexibility this new model brings.
For more information on SharePoint tools in Visual Studio 2012 see the MSDN Library. To get started building apps for SharePoint 2013 see http://dev.office.com and the MSDN Library topic: SharePoint 2013.

The Discussion
Every successful organization is backed by a highly-potential team of employees who work together by combining their skills, capabilities and experience to produce the best solution. In order to work together, the employees must have full understanding about the strategy so that they can utilize the resources in an efficient manner. Hence, it is essential to spread transparency within an organization for improving the output level to a great extent.
I am soooo excited to the see *the* Beth Massi learning about SharePoint!
It can become a bit annoying and frustrating even though the girl from Shanghai does her best trying to explain by her heavy 'Chinese accent' the new Sharepoint highlights. Beth Massi does a excellent job repeating what is actually being said in a understandable way. Thanks Beth Massi for your support on this.

Flipped Classroom
I feel like I learned so much from working with other students. It really did prove the point that working together is sooooooooo much more effective than working alone. I feel like if I had tried to do those problems at home by myself I would not have gotten nearly as much done or have understood it as well."
"I like having the chance to ask questions in class without feeling inhibited. With flipped classroom you get more time to ask the teacher questions in class."
"I'm a notetaker who can't write and understand at the same time. Before flipped classroom I used to have to go home and reread all my notes to understand them. But with the videos I can go back or pause the video to understand them."
"I like watching the videos again before tests."
"I like when she says 'Pause the video now and try this on your own.' Then she explains it on the video."
"When you're absent the videos are SO helpful!!!"
"When you have a sub, you actually have something to do, and we don't have to worry that the sub can't teach math, so we don't get behind."
"It's more productive because you can bring your phone in the car and get your homework done. It's much more time efficient."
"It's much easier to come home and watch a 20 minute video late at night, than to do a whole problem set by yourself."
"It's nice to be able to work with other people who are learning while you are in class. Sometimes they solve problems differently from you and it helps. It's comforting. Before I used to just skip hard problems and not try them. Now we use group solidarity to get through them together."
"I used feel embarrassed asking questions in front of the whole class, but now we're asking each other in small group. There's no pressure to understand it right away. We all work together."
"My dad has different ways of figuring things out and they confuse me. So I show him the video, and he knows how we learned it in class."
"The video problems really help with the homework problems. I can see a homework problem and say, I think there was one like that on the video, and I can rewatch it to help me with the homework."
"I like this system so much that I don't care when we watch a 20 minute video over a vacation in order to be prepared for class."
"Class is much less boring now. We don't have to sit and be quiet. We can talk to each other and think things through on our own. The time goes much faster."
"I also think its really nice to be able to watch the videos over again if you need to."
"It's great to always have the teachers explanation and material readily available."
"You can get the help you need on the homework assignments much more easily because you have people around you while you do it".
"It helps with studying"
"The flipped classroom is great because you can always go back to he videos to review for a test or part that you don't understand."
"It's very easy to keep track of what you need to do and classes aren't boring this way."
"It let's you learn at your own pace and if you don't understand something you can always go back. It's helpful for review."
"Flipped classroom is great because you can go back to the previous videos and review the topics after the class."
Notes are easy to do on your own because they are generally pretty straightforward. Homework, however, is more difficult, and it takes a long time. In class, you are given plenty of time to work on the homework and ask for help from a teacher or student."
"Really let's you manage your own time
"it is great because you can rewatch the video lessons "
"It is really helpful for reviewing the material, but it gives you a lot of independence"
You get a lot more help in the classroom compared to at home by yourself, which is helpful to understand the material."
"It is very helpful with completing textbook problems and getting help from the teacher and also from fellow classmates."
"Flipped classroom is great because you can listen to the same lectures as many times as you want. Moreover, you can do the problems with your peers and learn cooperation. "
It makes homework and class work easier. "
"You get more time to understand the marterial"
"I would say it is great for the following reasons... -Less homework after school: it's literally just watching a video and copying down notes, which you can do late at night without needing to focus too much for too long -Answer questions during school: by doing homework in classrooms, you have other resources: your teacher and other students, so you can get the homework done thoroughly and well -Have resources for tests: if you don't understand something when studying for a test you can just re-watch the videos -It's easier to remain engaged and present in class when doing work instead of notes -You can listen to notes at your own pace, rewind and go back or pause to write something down"
"Less amount of homework at home
"You can work at your own pace and you have more freedom to budget your time.
"You get to pause the video to absorb the information, replay it, and fast forward it."
"It's awesome

Good afternoon I was so excited to try the hair mask! So today I did! I washed my hair twice and the second time rinsed with tolerable hot water to really open the pores on my scalp and my hair cuticles and I squeezed the excess water from my head and applied 90% of that packet to my hair, really focusing from mid head down to my ends. I gently massaged it in my hair and massaged it in my scalp. I then clipped it on the top of my Head and allowed it to sit for 20 min while I finished whatever I need to in the shower and then I rinsed it…(did not use any other conditioner at all) And I let my hair air dry and I love it! Thank you so much for it !:))

During Monday night's School District 2 March board meeting, Facilities Director Julie Carroll sought Trustees' approval of a Request to Advertise the Bid for Summer Projects. It's quite a lengthy list, but a lot of the items may never get started this summer -- it depends upon some activity in the State Senate. Superintendent Craig Dougherty explains.
Should funding not become available through the School Facilities Commission, some critical projects will be put on hold.
And as important as the Jr. High hill stabilization project is, Julie Carroll told the Board that if they don't get the hoped for funding, they absolutely cannot wait on replacing the roof on the current Meadowlark school, which would eat up all of the money they have in their budget. She indicated that they are, however, proceeding with designs and scopes to bid, with hopes that lawmakers will free up the facilities monies.
You could always ease the
You could always ease the financial burden to the school district by cutting Craigs $175k salary.

Please use the frequently asked questions options below to navigate through the different FAQ topics.
If your question is not answered here, please contact our support team directly.
The Government's standard rules and procedures for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) apply to all Help to Buy purchases.
SDLT is payable at the time of purchase, on the full purchase price of the home. That is, the amount paid by you (the first mortgage and any cash contribution) plus the value of the Help to Buy assistance.
There is no further SDLT to pay on any 'staircasing' repayments or repayment when the home is sold.
You should budget for SDLT on the full open market price of the property when you purchase a Help to Buy home.
Because Help to Buy homes are generally on new developments (and may still be under construction), in common with most new home sales, you will normally be expected to arrange a mortgage and exchange contracts within one month of paying your reservation fee.
Your moving in date may depend on the time required to complete construction work, which will vary from scheme to scheme. Some Help to Buy applicants may need to wait for a longer period of time for a home that matches very specific needs whereas others may buy from a development that allows earlier occupation.
Once you have committed to buy a home (at exchange of contracts) the house builder will have agreed to build the home and keep you informed of progress.
If you are unhappy about any delays in construction you must speak to the house builder. Your solicitor/conveyancer will be able to advise on the house builder's contractual responsibilities before you agree to the sale.
You should check with your house builder that the funding will be available on the date you expect to complete your purchase
No. Help to Buy is designed to assist you to move on to or up the housing ladder. If you wish to sublet, you will first have to repay the Help to Buy equity loan assistance.
In exceptional circumstances (e.g. a serving member of the Armed Forces staff whose tour of duty requires them to serve away from the area in which they live for a fixed period, then sub-letting is allowed. In these circumstances you would also require approval from your mortgage lender and the Agency's Mortgage Administrator).
No. Help to Buy is designed to assist you to move up the housing ladder and must be your only residence. This means you will be expected to sell your current home (in the UK or abroad) if moving up the ladder. The disposal of your current home will be verified by your solicitor/conveyancer before you can proceed to exchange contracts on the Help to Buy Home.
In addition you cannot be linked to another property financially. For the avoidance of doubt, married couples own assets jointly and therefore if one owns a property the other is directly linked to the asset and treated as a home owner also.
The Autumn Statement in November 2015 announced an increase in the London Help to Buy equity loan from 20% to 40%. The eligibility and requirements for the programme otherwise have remained the same. The table below details the extent of the changes.
Help to Buy
London Help to Buy
Maximum equity loan available
20% of purchase price
40% of purchase price
Buyers cash deposit
5% of purchase price
Minimum mortgage required
25% of purchase price
Maximum purchase price
Provided that your local council is satisfied that this represents value-for-money and the other funding is compatible with Help to Buy. Funding provided which must be secured against your home would not be compatible with the Help to Buy scheme.
Assistance from Local Authority Clearance Payments are not permitted through Help to Buy.
Not without permission from the Agency's Mortgage Administrator. Further advances must be approved by the Agency's Mortgage Administrator.
Advances to be used for staircasing or repaying the equity loans will usually be welcomed and approved. Advances for other purposes will be considered by the Agency's Mortgage Administrator on a case by case basis (see question below regarding extending or altering the property).
You can transfer your mortgage to another qualifying lending institution (see page 17), following prior permission from the Agency's Mortgage Administrator. However, you must ensure your new lender is informed that your home is a Help to Buy property with a second charge entitling the Agency to a share of the future sale proceeds.
The Agency's Mortgage Administrator may decline permission for further advances or transfer to another lender if after assessment they consider you may be putting yourself in an unsustainable financial position
Not without permission. Because Help to Buy is designed to help people move up the housing ladder, you should consider repaying part or all of the Agency's contribution before making plans for improvements or alterations. This is because the Agency is seeking to help future aspiring buyers and may use the proceeds of these repayments to make more assistance available. Therefore, consent will not usually be granted for significant home improvements. The Agency's Mortgage Administrator will act reasonably in considering any application and will review cases of hardship if, for example, property modifications are required for a disability.
When your property is sold in the future, if improvements have been made with the approval of the Agency's Mortgage Administrator, these will be ignored when your property is valued to work out how much should be repaid to the Agency.
Fees can be paid in a single yearly payment or in monthly instalments. The monthly management fee (£1) is always paid monthly by direct debit.
The Agency's Mortgage Administrator will collect your fees and interest by direct debit. They will contact you at least a month before your fees are due, to set up (if not already done so) your repayment arrangement.
You will also receive a statement each year confirming when your fees are payable. The annual statement will also show any payments you have made once you start paying the fee.
This depends on whether you bought your home alone or with others.
If you bought the house/flat on your own and you die, the home will be passed on in the normal way under the terms of your will and the payments explained in this guide will be made by your estate in accordance with the scheme. If you have not made a will it will pass under the laws of intestacy.
It is recommended that a sole buyer seeks independent legal advice about this. Page 27 of 27 V1016
If you bought your home with others and one of them dies, their interest in the property will either be transferred to the surviving co-owner (s) or will pass under the terms of their will, or (if there is no will) the laws of intestacy.
It is recommended where there are two or more owners, that they seek independent legal advice about this.

Morphology of Modern Data Center Networks: Overview
Form follows function is a modern architectural principle that has been used to design and understand the workings of organisms and buildings. Computer networks are also an example of this principle. The classical networking topology (or form) inside an enterprise (and data center) has been the access-aggregation-core model that was designed to serve the needs of the applications then vogue in the enterprise. Enter the 21st century: companies like Google and Amazon, and applications based on cloud, big data and web 2.0 are redefining the fundamental morphology of data center networks. This talk introduces the fundamental form of modern data center networking and discusses how form follows function in this brave new world. The talk will range from the application needs of the modern data center and how they redefine the network requirements to the most common topology in modern data centers to the protocols used and new technologies.

Here at Love INC, we are having a fantastic Christmas season. We got to set up our wonderful Christmas store for our New Directions participants. At our Christmas store, we were able to offer toys for our children, home goods to help our families get ahead, gas cards and bus passes for holiday travel, and more!
We had around 100 participants for our Christmas store who had saved about 5,000 points to spend. These hardworking neighbors in need had been saving their points all year in order to ensure that their families would have some great Christmas presents. Amazing volunteers helped all throughout the process, helping the families choose items and keeping track of how many points they had already spent.
Over and over again, we heard what a blessing this was to people's families. One neighbor in need was going to see her grandchildren for the first time in 5 years, and she was able to get them Christmas presents because of this great event!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Christmas store this year. You were a huge blessing to many families who will be able to have a Christmas because of your generosity.

Among my long prayer list for Nigeria is that God should give us exemplary and visionary leaders who will lead Nigeria to great heights. I equally realized that beyond looking up to leaders in authority, we all can make a difference and contribute directly or in-directly to good governance if we be the change we want to see.
Found this article by Japheth Omojuwa on Metropole and it is a must read. Omojuwa is very vocal with governance and leadership issues. He advocates among many other things, that we lead and lead well from wherever we are. Read the article below:
One was privileged to attend the Daystar Excellence in Leadership Conference with the theme "Exemplary Leader." An apt topic for Nigeria across the planes of time: yesterday, right now and the tomorrows to come. The Excellence in Leadership and the Daystar Leadership Academy have helped to shape one's understanding of leadership and it helps to place the lessons beside Nigeria's realities.
More often than not you hear those who defend mediocrity in Nigeria say something like "these problems have been there, why are we making it look as if this current government created them?" That is of course sad because it is an excuse for those who have a chance to make things better, to lay a foundation for growth and development and to engender a culture of excellence to shirk from that responsibility.Continue.....
Leadership is a continuum in many ways. For the leader, it has nothing to do with whatever office he or she occupies; it has everything to do with personal responsibility wherever one finds oneself. For the office, someone else will always take over from where we stop-- the most critical thing is to make our successors be grateful that we are the ones they are succeeding. How can they be grateful if instead of spending years fixing things and fixing lives, we spend them excusing our failures? We cannot excuse our own failures on the failures of those who came before us. Our job is to get our job done!
The revered public speaker and teacher, Sam Adeyemi did say that "if you find yourself leading people you do not genuinely love, your failure in that position is predictable." That sums up Nigeria across many levels. More often than not we use the mirror we ought to use for ourselves to judge our leaders but to be honest, we are them in many ways.
We make life difficult for ourselves more than those at the top even manage. We are the ones that owe our staff salaries and never even bother to apologize for depriving them of their rights. We are the ones who see others in our care as though they hardly exist. How many times have you intentionally greeted your gate-man? When last did you thank your chef or maid? Have you ever sat down with your office driver to ask him or her how he or she copes with his/her meagre salary? Instead of doing these things, we even make life difficult for them. The oppression that happens at the macro level is mirrored in small measures at the micro level.
Don't you find it ironic that men who beat their own wives at home are often the ones who are most critical about the leaders at the top? We are all leaders. Someway, somehow, you are leading people. Some people are looking up to you and learning from you. What sort of leader are you? If the leadership you deliver in your little space today were to be the standard across the nation, would ours be a better country? You should answer that question critically and then let us all commit to raising exemplary leaders, bottom up. From homes and the family, to the very top. One day, we will build this Nigeria house. Until then, lead, and lead well, wherever you are.

Reading – Kotlin for Android Developeprs
Just read the Kotlin book after listening to the Fragmented podcast with JetBrain engineer which mentioned in the previous post (Watching – Mouseless driven development).
I heard of the language several times, but didn't have chance to look at it. This time, I made up mind to investigate more.
The Getting Started with Kotlin in 2 minutes is a good introductory video for understanding its syntax and behaviors. Kotlin works on JVM and its concept and syntax are mainly coming from Java, but also good parts of Scala or Groovy is incorporated and making it modern language.
Scala has powerful extension of type-safety and functional-programming, but it's a little too complex. Groovy has concise syntax and good productivity on small programs, but it's a little too loose to cause dynamic exceptions like NullPointerException. Kotlin seems going between the two, and if the balance is good, it may be worthwhile to dig in deeper.

Vendor Spotlight: Bella Capelli
Get a Trial
Have you ever had an awful haircut? The kind that makes you want to put a paper bag over your head? Or call in sick for a few days? Thankfully, I've only had one deeply traumatizing haircut, but that one was enough to last me a lifetime. It's embarrassing to admit, but I cried the entire way home from the salon that afternoon. I felt so many emotions. Frustrated with myself for paying so much money on a hideous style. Ashamed that I hadn't been brave enough to tell the stylist that I was unhappy. Betrayed after I trusted this disappointing stranger. Yet she never knew how much I hated that haircut.
I learned a valuable lesson that day: you HAVE to say something if you're truly not satisfied with the service. As uncomfortable as it was, I had to use this skill while planning my wedding.
Which brings me to today's blog post. If you take away nothing else today, please hear this: Get a hair and makeup trial for your wedding! There are SO many reasons why:
- To make sure your skin doesn't react poorly to the makeup
- Get to know your stylist's personality and comfort level with your needs
- Pamper yourself before the wedding
- Excuse to get dressed up and go out to dinner that night… or stay in and just look adorable while you watch Moana
- Narrow down your inspiration photos from 67 to just a few with professional guidance
- See if a smoky eye is perfect or too dramatic for your big day
- Verify that your hair accessories (veil vs. comb, clip vs. tiara) will work well with your hair style
- Test the longevity, durability, and "pokiness" of your hair pins
- Make sure the little wisps of hair don't tickle your neck and drive you bonkers
- Seek beauty prep tips for the weeks leading up to the wedding, since stylists always have great ideas
- Gauge if you feel better in naturally blended or wing-tipped eyeliner
- Practice NOT touching and smudging your face
- Ask if your (curly, frizzy, stick straight, thin, thick, short, or unruly) hair will work for a particular favorite style you found on Pinterest before getting your hopes up
- Test out how long that lipstick stain really lasts
- Acclimate your eyelids to the weight of false lashes
- Decide if you're going to need bronzer or if your natural glow is sufficient
- Make sure your stylist is reliable, doesn't cancel on you at the last minute, and can show up for the trial appointment on time
- Determine professionalism: Does he/she bring a contract to the trial, or are they unprepared?
- When the trial is over, do they offer to snap a few photos for you, or leave you awkwardly requesting this favor?
- Get pumped up for the actual day, since you can now visualize your gorgeous self
How would I know?
To be honest, I actually had to do two hair and makeup trials. The first lady seemed really nice, but rescheduled my trial three (THREE!) times. After the trial, I felt a bit like a drag queen with caked makeup and orange tinted lipstick. My eyeliner was overly dramatic, and I accidentally smudged it on the car ride home. She botched my hair, then didn't offer to take any photos of her work. So… I didn't realize how awful I looked until I got home and used a mirror to look at the back of my hair. Sensing my deep disappointment, my fiancé insisted that I use a different hair and makeup vendor. After agonizing for a week about how to word the "break up" email with this lady, I pulled off the Band-Aid and sent my notice that I'd be using someone else for the wedding. Fortunately, she neglected to ask for my signature on the contract I'd printed and brought with me. Her lack of professionalism served me in this singular way.
My point: If you find yourself in a similar situation, please don't feel guilty about demanding the best. Weddings are expensive, and you deserve to have full confidence in your investment. The right vendors can make all the difference in your experience.
Lucky for you, Wild Basin Lodge has an extensive list of tried-and-true vendors. Let's take a closer look at Bella Capelli, our preferred vendor for hair and makeup services.
The Experts
Bella Capelli is a partnership of moms who cherish the balance of family and having a successful career. The company was started by Christie Nagl many years ago, and they've built a stellar reputation in the industry ever since. They frequently travel to Wild Basin Lodge, so all you have to do is show up in your button down shirt or robe, and you're set. Mimosa in hand, you can relax in our bridal suite while the ladies of Bella Capelli work their magic.
WBL: Tell us a little about the history of your business.
BC: I started doing hair 18 years ago and became a hairstylist specifically to do wedding hair. I owned a full service salon in Estes for a long time and did weddings there up until I had my first son, eight and a half years ago. At that time I closed the salon and decided to start doing only weddings so that I could focus the rest of my time on being a stay at home mom. Adrienne, who I had grown up with, and Traci, who is married to my husband's cousin, both worked with me in my salon. When I closed the salon they continued to do weddings with me and worked other places until they too had their kids. Now they stay home with their littles and still do hair and makeup with me. Adrienne has been with me about 15 years and Traci for 13 years. Over time, my two sisters saw how wonderful it was to be able to stay home with the kids and have a job on the side so they both got certified to do makeup. Melissa has been with us for about 6 years and Julie for about 4.
There is nothing better than being able to work alongside some of your favorite people. Plus, having a job that is flexible enough to work around family schedules is amazing. All five of us truly feel blessed!
WBL: Do you have any "Pro Tips" or words of wisdom for brides as they prepare for their wedding?
BC: It is your day. Do what makes you and your fiancé happy. As far as hair and makeup go, make sure you are comfortable and feel like you. You don't want to look back at pictures and not recognize yourself. Don't get me wrong, everything should be a little bigger and fancier but still holding true to your style.
WBL: What is one thing that you love about your industry?
BC: We love all the joy that surrounds someone's wedding day. It's hard not to be happy when surrounded by happiness. We also love all the wonderful vendors we get to see and work with. We are lucky to be in this industry, in this area, with amazing people!
WBL: Do you have a personal favorite memory from your wedding day you'd like to share?
BC: I'm sure we all have our favorite memories but I have 2 personally that stand out. I love the memory of entering the church to see my super sentimental, sobbing husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle. He is just a big teddy bear and I love him! Also, my dad and I took tango lessons for the father/daughter dance and told no one. My dad is not a dancer so the reactions were priceless. That moment was really special and fun! It was such a great day and there are endless memories. Now we have been married 10 1/2 years.
Bella Capelli translates in Italian to "beautiful hair," and the photos on their website speak for themselves. Don't repeat my mistake of going through multiple hair and makeup trials. Save yourself the emotional stress and shoot the ladies at Bella Capelli and email as soon as possible. They are frequently fully booked 6 months or more in advance.
-A presto!

Although its denizens and proprietors like to think of it as a bastion of reason, outsiders trying to wrest information out of the Ivory Tower, such as your servants at Accuracy in Academia, have rarely found it to be. It turns out that some who have worked within it feel roughly the same way.
"Through various phases, not all clear to me, but including the German mania for specialized research and the French disease of sophisticated unintelligibility, up to our own betrayal of literature to ideology, the humanities have been doing themselves in," Eva Brann of St. John's College, writes in the Summer 2011 issue of the Claremont Review of Books. Brann is a former dean and longtime tutor in the Great Books program at St. John's of Annapolis.
Moreover, she notes, by definition humanities were something of a failure from the get-go. "The humanities began in the Renaisance as 'the more human studies' opposed to theology, and this proud beginning may have carried the source of inanition within itself: How can a human enterprise that is committed to approaching divinity merely as an object of research not waste away in time?"
Malcolm A. Kline is the Executive Director of Accuracy in Academia.

A Travel Journal by Rita Lucas
Five years ago as I completed my degree in International Studies, I, at the offer of my late father decided to make a trip to an exotic part of the world. Costa Rica came to mind at first, but it seemed so near and not too much different from family vacations to Mexico or Hawaii. I then decided Ibiza Spain would be nice; perhaps some other cities along the way. That did not sound exotic enough. During a subway ride, saw a man with a T-Shirt that said, Everest Nepal. Voila! That sounded far, exotic and adventurous. Did some reading, bought some clothes, travel insurance and off I went.
I have traveled with many airliners in the past, but I have to admit, compared to the service that I got from Thai Airways while traveling to Kathmandu, no other airlines come even close. Incidentally one of my neighbors was a gentleman from France who was going to Nepal on a trek. I asked him if it was Everest or Annapurna. He said neither and told me that he was trekking the Manaslu region. He went on to tell me how he was trekking Manaslu with a group of friends who were coming into Kathmandu after being in Vanarasi India and told me about MAT Nepal Treks. Intrigued, I asked to join them as well. Rather spontaneous decision which ended up being a fine one.
Mountains and especially the one in the Himalayas where mountain Gods reside with their full glory, provides an excellent adventure for adventure lovers. Trekking is a whole world of adventure, and when it's Himalayan Trekking to base camps of these glorious mountains including Everest base camp Trek, K2 Base camp Trek, etc. the adventure is no doubt a rewarding one. From the Nepalese part of the great Himalayas, at 26,781 feet, and being the 8th highest mountain in the world, Manaslu (originally meaning the light mountain) is a dream of many trekkers. It is the highest peak in Lamjung district of Nepal. The mountain is tall and wide enough to contain several glacier galleries and long ridges, which are seen visibly. Various Trekking options are available in Manaslu region, among them the most popular is of 177 kilometers which skirt the Manaslu over the pass to Annapurna. Trekking in this area has only been allowed in 1991. Trekking in Nepal, one gets to see many great peaks of over 7000 feet above sea level. Manaslu was climbed first by Toshio Imanishi along with Gyalzen Norbu in 1956 and has been climbed 29 times since then.
The areas native to this valley provides a sanctuary to many rare and endangered species. Of 110 species found in the area include Himalayan tahr, snow leopard, musk deer, gray wolf, Assam macaque and many others.
Local nationals of these areas are divided into two, Nubri and Tsum. After an opening of Nepal tourism, Nubri has been on the tourist list while Tsum is more preserved for its cultural background and folklore.
As Trekking in the Himalayas offers scenic beauty and breath-taking vistas, Manaslu Trekking is no exception. The popular Manaslu circuit trek starts from Arughat Bazaar and ends in Besisahar. The trek is on Great Himalaya Trail which is newly developed. The trek along the Budhi Gandaki river is an ancient route for salt- trading. As the slopes of the ravines ease from Deng snow peaks can be seen from Legion. Moving forward, an impressive double peak stature of Manaslu comes into view. From Syala village, the route follows and reaches the Samagaon (Sama) village which is at foot of Manaslu. Various points covered during this trek include Samdo village, the Larkha La, Himlung Himal, Kang Guru, Bimtang (Bimdakhoti), Cheo Himal, Dudh Khola among many others.
As trekking through high altitudes requires some acclimation, people stay for some time in the Tsum Valley and base Camp of Ganesh Himal to get habitual of high altitudes. Due to its lack of contact with outside world, and mainly because of tourism was not allowed in the region until in recent years, Tsum village has not been a part of tourist list in the past but it has been allowed recently. Preserving the culture, Tsum Welfare Committee is actively engaged in the promotion of tourism across the region.
Everything happens for a reason. There was definitely a reason why I met my French friend, of all place, in the airplane.
Manaslu defined everything I had ever wanted to be. Bold, beautiful, proud, spiritual and proud. The good folks at MAT Nepal Treks a had, at the request of the French team had put together a customized trekking to Manaslu. Being in Nepal, on the other hand, proved to be one of the best travel decisions I made in my life. 23 countries and counting, every place that I have been to has been special. The ancientness of Nepal, the charisma, and spirituality of the people, the magic of the land, the connectedness to nature, the simplicity that exists in this complex culture, however, has made the country the most favorite place that I have ever been to.
During our trekking, I talked to one of the women from the French group. Her name was Claire. A beautiful name I had loved ever since the first time I heard of the name. As a matter of fact, as a teenager, I used to always tell myself that one day if I had a daughter, I'd name her Claire. I could see what drew Claire to Manaslu. She was an elegantly beautiful lady, a bit cocky when she needed to be, but a gentle soul most of the time. A performer by profession grounded most of the time and very much into a quest for spirituality customized for her by herself. She was happy to hear that I would one day name my daughter Claire.
I have sought Claire all over Social Media, but have not found her yet. Hopefully, I will one day. But then again, I am also scared of finding her. She might not like the fact that I changed my mind the day I finally had my daughter. I did not name her Claire. I named her Manaslu. The actual meaning of Manaslu is "Mountain of the Spirit". But to me "Mountain Daughter". Claire, however, is her middle name.

Pagenaud, a winner last month at Long Beach and Alabama, surged ahead in the last 20 of 82 laps after taking the lead on a pit stop exchange at the 2.439-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
"It feels nice, three in a row," Pagenaud said. "These days in Indycar, to have such domination is incredible. This car is magical."
Not since Australia's Will Power won the last two races of the 2013 season and the 2014 opener had an IndyCar driver taken three victories in a row.
Pagenaud, who turns 32 Wednesday, captured his seventh career IndyCar triumph with Brazil's Helio Castroneves second and Canada's James Hinchcliffe third.
Pagenaud, a runner-up in the season openers at St. Petersburg and Phoenix, became only the fourth IndyCar driver with top-two efforts in the first five races of a season, the first non-US racer to achieve the feat.
Stretching what had been a 48-point season points lead, the Frenchman established himself as a clear favorite for May 29th's 100th Indianapolis 500, the sixth of 16 IndyCar season races.
Drivers now must adjust to Indy's famed 2 1/2-mile oval course in practice for next Saturday's start of qualifying.
Pagenaud led early but Castroneves and US rookie Conor Daly refueled just before a crash, fortunate timing moving them to the front of the field ahead of Pagenaud.
A lap-46 restart saw Daly pass Castroneves in turn one for the lead, but patient Pagenaud refueled in only 6.9 seconds on his final stop and returned to track back in front with 20 laps remaining.
"I went faster than any other lap on the in-lap," Pagenaud said. "I knew it was going to be the chance to get back in the lead. I drove into the pit lane like a rally car. The crew did a great job on that last stop and it all worked out."
Pagenaud also won the 2014 inaugural Indy road race with Power taking last year's title.
