Author's Response: *g* That's such an awesome thing to hear about a story you've written.
omg, I love your prison au verse so so much! I actually love everything you write even though I'm horrible about reviewing, but I'm trying to get better. I really love how Bob thinks of everything in car terms, and how he likes to fix things. And I really love you for writing this.
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad my stuff is fun for you, thank you for taking the time to review this one. Bob makes me happy in my soul with his car metaphors *g*!
o/! Bob is planning to leave his life of crime. How sweet:), Bob owns my heart. Did meeting Gerard help him come to that decision?
Author's Response: Without saying too much, I will say yes here. Bob owns my heart, too. They all do, really, but Bob, man.
You are made of win. And I almost cried because I wanted to hug Bob so hard.
There is so much love. For the freaking world, or something. You win.
Author's Response: Bob really does need a hug. And kind of will only more so as this goes on. But Gerard comes through for him on that sometimes.
Oh god, you wonderful woman. OH GOD! That's all I can say. Oh. Motherfucking. GOD.
Author's Response: *tackles you and hugs hugs*
oh yeah
Author's Response: That's what we like to hear! *g*
Wow. This was really hot! i adore the characterization of not only Gerard and Bob, but also Bob's mama.
Author's Response: Yay moms! Thanks.
I'm not usually a fan of prison fics, but I am totally in love with this series! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Author's Response: Well, I try to balance things with a little sweetness. Thank YOU.

This ancient tradition is simply concerned to awaken people to who and how they actually are and through that, to experience a feeling of ease, of being at home in their own skin, and in the world as it is… …By relaxing into the natural state the busy turbulence of life is revealed as the energy of that natural state. The turbulence does not stop; there is still energy going on, there is power, there are all sorts of things moving but now we understand where it all comes from and we see that we are always – always and already – participants in it.

They may not look anything alike, but sisters Hannah and Marissa Brandt are two peas in a pod.
Marissa was adopted from South Korea as a baby. Her sister Hannah is 11 months younger. As children, they celebrated Marissa's heritage together, even attending a Korean culture camp. The girls each took up different sports. Marissa initially was a figure skater, before joining Hannah in learning to love hockey. Both played in college, but at different schools. Hannah attended the University of Minnesota, while Marissa went to Gustavus Adolphus College.
This week, they are reunited — but this time on Marissa's home turf. Hannah is playing for the U.S. women's hockey team, and Marissa for the North/South Korean team. And she's not going by Marissa. She will play as Park Yoon-Jung, her birth name.
The sisters both have the sweetest public Instagram pages, sharing photos of themselves as recent as this week, but also when they were young girls. Their pose? Their arms draped around one another.
As a mom by adoption to four black children, the question I'm asked most often is: "Are your kids real siblings?" People are often confused when children in the same family look nothing alike, and strangers desire an explanation or justification. My response to their inquiry is always a simple "yes." Siblings do not have to look alike, share biological parents, or even share the same race to be "real siblings." Additionally, I am my children's "real mom," even though I didn't give birth to them. And their biological parents? You guessed it. They are "real" too.
Family is family, and my family was created by love, not biology. The Brandt sisters are in the same boat: sharing no biological genes, but a lifetime of memories and a bright future.
As soon as Marissa arrived in South Korea, she posted, "First thing I must do: find my sister as soon as possible."
Hannah's feelings are mutual. She posted that Marissa is her "best friend" and "an amazing sister."
The love between Hannah and Marissa is so evident. Truly a picture is worth a thousand words, and these two women post plenty that demonstrate the beauty of sisterhood, the sacredness of adoption, and the strength of women who work hard for what they want in life.
Best wishes to Hannah and Park Yoon-Jung. Let the games begin!

A good friend of mine has been on an amazing life journey for the last several years. I admire her for her ability to blend her passions into a purpose that not only pays the bills but also allows her to travel and grow from the experiences. All the while giving back to the communities she touches.
Majka has now partnered up with a few others to lead a multi-faceted journey to Ethiopia–a country she has lived in, worked and written two books about–this fall. Their purpose, in her own words, "we are transporting a group to the heart of humanity's ancient roots to imagine, create and contribute to a new future for a nation of children. Join us."
Though I am not going along due to other commitments I am helping to spread the word.
The expedition's website with extensive details is here.
If you have questions contact Majka directly at: firstname.lastname@example.com
An excellent trailer of about the trip is below. It is well worth watching just to see the people and landscapes of Ethiopia. Simply beautiful.

At this time of year most youngsters are thinking about what presents they will have under the Christmas tree.
But for Nethelee Primary School pupils, their thoughts were on helping others less fortunate than themselves this festive period.
As part of the Rights Respecting Schools Group, teachers and pupils put their heads together to find out how they could help out good causes in the run up to Christmas.
Building on the previous success of the nursery school's foodbank collection, it was decided to help support East Renfrewshire Foodbank.
Teacher Mrs Kelly Linn explained: "We wanted to make the foodbank collection that the nursery started even bigger.
"We had a group that met on a Friday that worked on the campaign.
"They made posters and flyers which were handed out and put up in local shops.
"In fact, we had three shops hand in donations of food which was fantastic.
"We have had such a great response from the children, parents and businesses, and we ended up loading five cars which were piled up high up with donations to take to the foodbank.
"We had eight parents turn up to help deliver the donations."
The pupils were paid a visit from the foodbank to help put into context the work that they had been doing.
Mrs Linn continued: "Mrs Law from East Renfrewshire Foodbank came to the school told us that around 35 families rely on us and our support.
"It helped make it a bit more real life for the children.
"The children are generous and will donate a pound or bring in a box of tea bags, but now they know why they are doing that – it is more than just a donation of money or food.
"We are in a fortunate position and the children are so generous, but it should be up to the government to provide nutrious food to those that need it."
Mrs Linn added: "What was also great about the campaign was that pupils from primaries 4-7 were involved and they hadn't really spoken before, so it was nice to see them working together for such a great cause."

When starting your personal small enterprise one of the important points to think about is the accounting course of and the way you choose to account your whole financial data. 33 Frequent marketing techniques for small enterprise embrace enterprise networking (e.g., attending Chamber of Commerce occasions or trade fairs ), " word of mouth " promotion by existing clients, buyer referrals, Phone book directories, tv, radio, and outside ads (e.g., roadside billboards), print adverts, and Web advertising.
Digital assistant work is ceaselessly half time, so it might be a option to get some income coming in while you develop a plan for another enterprise. Furthermore, not solely will your clients come to you for more enterprise at some point, however you bet that next time they are entertaining of their front room that your new material masking work will come up within the conversation!
With so many instruments and platforms to make the most of in your social media marketing, it may possibly change into overwhelming when making an attempt to determine which one is greatest in your small business. Your best market might be mid to larger sized companies, who're prepared to spend some money to each promote their enterprise to their clients or to make use of promotional gadgets as incentives and rewards for his or her workers.
"Time is cash, and money is time", Time is probably the most beneficial factor in what you are promoting and life. Workers characterize – the truth is they're – the corporate to the purchasers. This is necessary to the continuity of high-high quality customer service and avoids the significant expense of employee turnover, employee retraining and the costly however inevitable "rookie mistakes" of latest, inexperienced staff.
I learned a lot about resume writing as my guide publishing company turned the main vendor of resume books within the US. Resumes will not be obsolete, even in the event you don't always use one when applying for a position on-line, recruiters expect you to bring a resume to the interview.

I have to do various striped meta expansions. This works well but is a slow process, taking over 45 minutes to add 2 meta members to a 1.4 TB LUN for example, and is also somewhat restrictive, in that we can only expand by identical meta members, so for my 8-way 1.4 TB meta, with each meta member of 175 GB, I can only extend by increments of 175 GB. We have migrated onto EMC from HDS USP-V where expansions are much more flexible (even though USP-V is a much older environment than VMAX it can expand by any amount very fluidly) so the OS teams are critical of this limitation of VMAX.
I guess another option would be to clone the LUN to a larger target and then unmount the old LUN and present the copied one. However, this would require a Clone license, but we don't have that, so ... what other way is there to do this? Is it possible to create a larger LUN, then copy the data from a smaller LUN in there, and then present that LUN to the host?
Hi rwise,
Welcome to EMC Community.
I tottaly understand the situation you are in. Expansion of devices on the fly is not supported with the current generations of VMAX (It is supported with other arrays like EMC VNX & CX). This feature will be addressed and supported in next generation of VMAX (VMAX V3). Regarding your question about the clones, You can clone from a smaller device to a larger device however, you cannot restore data from the target device and bear in mind that you will be limited also to max device size on VMAX40K which is 240 GB so if you are going beyond this, then META devices should be considered.
Another restrictions we have for cloning metas is that source and target devices should have same configurations which means that:
Concatenated meta can only be cloned to concatenated meta and Striped meta can only be clone to striped meta with the same size/number of meta members and also same stripe size.
The only possible solution I can see for your case, is to leverge host based tools like PPME (license is for free if you have a PP license) or OM (however this is for migration not cloning).
Hope this helps.
Mohammed Salem
I may misunderstand your question. Here are few thoughts:
>>> it can expand by any amount very fluidly
It can be done in VMAX as well with concatenate as meta configuration. However as you said its not true for stripe meta - as data needs to be redistributed when adding a new stripe (when data integrity/preservation is requested)
>>> Is it possible to create a larger LUN, then copy the data from a smaller LUN in there, and then present that LUN to the host?
While expanding stripe meta, if one selects preserve data option then the data should be preserved (using BCV). Personally, Symm already does this efficiently, i don't think you will save any time by doing it manually. i may be wrong - but that's my expectation.
Btw, what is the main concern? is it regarding the time which symm is taking while expanding stripe meta (with preserving data)? Have you considered automating these using scripts - you can automate these steps either by SymmCLI cmds or ESI PowerShell Toolkit Cmdlets.
Hope this helps!
Time is not a concern. The main/only concern is internal departmental chargeback. i.e. if they want to pay for a 100 GB expansion, but I can only give them a 150 GB expansion due to meta member size limitations then that creates a billing nightmare. In large corporations with Enterprise storage arrays, chargeback like this is always a very important factor.
So, I would like to take a 1 TB striped meta and expand it to any size. What are my options?
- For striped meta expansion, I don't think I can do it any other way than preserving data, the only way I do this is via protecting the data on a BCV (but this limits me to incremental increases only of the meta member size, which leads to the "corporate chargeback nightmare" described above).
- Non-meta devices are not something that are important here. 98+ % of LUNs on our environment are striped metas (EMC wrote a guide in which they recommended 4-way metas for devices larger than 8 GB, 8-way for larger than 128 GB, 16-way for larger than 1920 GB, and 32-way for larger than 3840 GB). This is surprising to me, but note that this was not written by the customer - EMC wrote this recommendation for the customer, so we have to follow it - so almost everything is a striped meta).
- For clones, we do not have clone licenses, so that is impossible ...
When comparing 5 year old USP-V expansion to a brand new VMAX 40K, it is disappointing that the USP-V can do this far more flexibly than EMC's flagship enterprise product (and without any special licenses), so I want options whereby I can say "yes, the VMAX can do more and better than an ancient HDS product". So far, I have no option to do that. Surely there must be something on VMAX 40K that will allow me to do what a 5-year old HDS product can do without spending a huge amount on Clone licenses?
Is there is no way that I can create a 1.5 TB 8-way meta, and then migrate data from my existing 1 TB 8-way meta onto that meta (without Clone licenses)?
Hello rwise,
For your last question, Host based migration tools can help however this will use some CPU cycles from your host.
For the question regarding chargeback, There is a multitenancy support for VMAX40 with Ionix StorageScope for chargeback however, I am not sure how can we utilize this in your existing system. and I doubt this will help to override the limitation we have for striped METAs expansion.
I will ask one of my colleagues to reply to you for a better answer.
Hope this helps.
Mohammed Salem
Hi Mohammed, That would be fantastic if you or one of your colleagues could explain how to do this (i.e. simply expand a striped meta to any size arbitrarily). It shouldn't be too difficult to create a larger device/meta and copy the data from a smaller device/meta I hope, but if the only way is via a Clone license, then that would be disappointing (particularly when 5+ year old USP-V technology can do that seamlessly with ease and base functionality). I don't mind if it's complicated, I can script up anything if there is a process to get this to work. Many thanks.
i am afraid you will be disappointed, you can't expand a striped meta to any size you like.
I know I can't do that, but what about other options? Is there no posibility to create a different larger sized BCV meta and copy data in there and then convert that to a TDEV meta and present to a host for example, or some other option?
can't do that either, only options are M.Salem already mentioned, host based migration: either using PowerPath Migration Enabler or native LVM/ASM tools. Now if you are willing to take downtime there is always robocopy/rsync. Create a custom size device, present it to the operating system, shutdown application and copy the data.
Downtime is mostly ok for this client. Robocopy is great, but in my experience when we have filesystems with 100's of thousands of files, it can be very slow. but never got around to using PPME so that would be good (but unfortunately they use native multipathing on Windows 2008 / Solaris / Linux here so no PowerPath except on Windows 2003). I'd like to try out Open Migrator (but as file-based it will probabaly have the same limitation as robocopy). Are Open Migrator licenses free?
I've done 2 or 3 thousand host migrations on Open Replicator (my favourite migration tool), but I've only ever done that array to array. Long-shot here, but is it possible to OR internally between LUNs in the same array? That could work quite well (if it was possible).

Who am I?
I'm a work in progress. Basic facts…late 20-something trying to make it in the big, bad world of corporation domination in fabulous shoes with great friends, a family second to none, and a heart on the line. I'm a huge Wisconsin sports fanatic, but a general lover of all baseball (and football) too. I think it stems to sitting in the backyard with Grandpa Lang as Harry Cary was on the radio calling the Cubs games with Grandpa muttering something about a "damn rummy" every now and again. Volleyball is my favorite sport to play (love sacrificing the body), but a close second is soccer (which I played in college). On a typical weekend you can catch me at the symphony one night, running along the lakefront the next afternonn, dancing to the dj that night, catching a Brewers game on Sunday afternoon, only to head back downtown for dinner and a show at Turner Hall. I love living in Milwaukee, but I also love traveling and experiencing things that other cities have to offer. I suppose that's probably more than you were looking for, but it's my blog and I'll write if I want to. =)
What's up with your blog name?
This stems from the back of a t-shirt that the cross country team got while I was in high school. (Yes, Mr. W., even though I didn't run cross country I was watching. Which…side note, I really wish I had been encouraged to try cross country. Turns out I actually really enjoy running.) There are two passages in the Bible that I think of when "running the race."
- Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
- Do you not know that in a race all runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)
So that's where the name comes from. I think life is the ultimate race…running towards the ultimate prize…and encouraging people to run along with you. I'm not going to shove it in your face or force my religious views on you, but I like to (try to) keep my life centered on God…and it's my blog. (I love being able to use that argument as an adult…it's like all those times I was forced to share as a child and now I can legitimately claim something as mine. So there. =)
Why write?
Why not? We all have an inner monologue that's constantly running (oh wait, that's just me?) and I figured…why not share some of it with the rest of the world. Besides, it's a good reason not to sit on Facebook at night. I'd rather stimulate the neurons with a scintillating piece of literary genius any day. I initially started the blog to talk about the half marathons that I was training for, and you'll still see some bits on running woven into the other random musings. Pretty much whatever's on my mind is what I'll write about…running, relationships, funny jokes, ramblings from my day, thoughts on topics in the news, dating, love, and everything else in between. I can't promise to be right about everything, but I will write about it. And if I'm wrong…feel free to correct me in the comment section. Won't be the first time that someone has, and certainly won't be the last. Thanks for reading and please share with your friends, family, and any other crazy people that you might come across in your life.

Golf Club of Tennessee - Tennessee - USA

Toby Wilt and Bronson Ingram formed The Golf Club of Tennessee back in the late 1980s and they tasked Tom Fazio with the design of their new course. He duly obliged by delivering a tough track that makes the very best use of a hilly, forested property.
Brush Creek also comes into play during a round here, most prominently at the 465-yard 9th (with it running along the right side of the fairway), the 200-yard 10th (which plays across its flowing waters to a waterfall-framed putting surface), and the tough 456-yard finishing hole, where the creek backdrops the home green.
The club hosted the US Women's Amateur Golf Championship in 2018, with Kristen Gillman from Texas lifting the Robert Cox Cup for the second time in five years. This event followed other prestigious tournaments – such as the 2001 Tennessee State Amateur and the 2006 Tennessee State Open – that have been held on the course during the club's short history.
Reviews for Golf Club of Tennessee
This is a golfer's golf course and golfer's golf club. Wonderful facility and wonderful Fazio design. The brainchild of Bronson Ingram, to put it in perspective one of his pallbearers was Arnold Palmer. Some long tough par 4s but some great risk reward holes as well. Number 10 is a par 3 with a lovely waterfall behind the green. Fazio took advantage of the topography to create stunning visuals from the peaks of the rolling hills as well as the river bottom.

Still about quark gluon plasma and M89 physics
QCD predicts that quark gluon plasma (QGP) is is created in p-p, p-A, and A-A high energy collisions. Here p denotes proton and A heavy nucleus. In the first approximation the nuclei are expected to go through each other but for high enough collision the kinetic energy of the incoming beams is expected to materialize to quarks and gluons giving rise to QGP. Various signatures of QGP such as high density, strangeness production, and the failure of quark jets to propagate have been observed.
Also unexpected phenomena such as very small shear viscosity to entropy ratio η/s meaning that QGP behaves like ideal liquid and double ridge structure detected first in p-Pb collisions implying long range correlations suggesting emission of particles in opposite directions from a linear string like object. Also the predicted suppression of charmonium production seems to be absent for heavy nuclei.
I have already earlier proposed explanation in terms of a creation of dark pions (and possibly also heavier mesons) of M89 hadron physics with Planck constant heff=512× h. M89 pions would be flux tube like structures having mass 512 times that of ordinary pion but having the same Compton length as ordinary pion and being of the same size as heavy nuclei. The unexpected features of QGP, in particular long range correlations, would reflect quantum criticality. Double ridge structure would reflect the decay of dark mesons to ordinary hadrons. In this article this proposal is discussed in more detail.
See the article Still about quark gluon plasma and M89 physics or the chapter New Physics predicted by TGD: part I.

University of Miami's Florida 50 Stock Index Outpaces Broader Market by Nearly Double in First Quarter of 2017
Apr 03, 2017, 12:51 ET
CORAL GABLES, Fla., April 3, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The University of Miami's Florida 50 Index, a bellwether on the state's economy, was up more than 10 percent in the first quarter of 2017, outperforming both the S&P 500 and S&P 1500 by nearly double. The Florida index, which tracks all Florida firms in the S&P Composite 1500® Index, ended the quarter up by 10.39 percent, while the S&P 500 saw a gain of 5.53 percent and the S&P 1500 rose 5.22 percent.
The top-10 Florida performers included TopBuild Corp., up 32.02 percent, The GEO Group Inc., up 31.0 percent, CSX Corp., up 30.06 percent, Jabil Circuit Inc., up 22.52 percent, Tupperware Brands Corp., up 20.49 percent, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., up 20.17 percent, Lennar Corp., up 19.33 percent, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp., up 18.19 percent, ACI Worldwide Inc., up 17.85 percent, and HCI Group Inc., up 16.34 percent.
"One of the biggest winners in UM's Florida 50 Index is CSX Corp., which yielded a first-quarter return of more than 30 percent, and because its capitalization is nearly 11 percent of the index, it positively influenced the performance of the index overall," said Tie Su, an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Business Administration. "The Index is also heavily weighted by the financial, energy and consumer discretionary sectors, which have all significantly beat the broader market indices.
The Florida 50 Index, which was established by the University's School of Business Administration in 2016, is based on the capitalizations of all Florida-based large-, mid- and small-cap companies included in the S&P 1500 index having common stock listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ. It is the first custom S&P Dow Jones index to be owned by a university and the only index that focuses solely on public companies headquartered in an individual U.S. state.
The index is available under the ticker symbol UMIAMIFL through the S&P website at: www.umiamifl.com. The performance can be monitored in real time on Yahoo Finance. The full list of index components can be found here.

Aptitude test – what makes the test the best one
Resumes just say about the scores of academic and software skills along with the personal details. But the present employers are not satisfied with these printed details at the time of hiring since most of the resumes are made to meet the requirements of the job. All of the reputed organization irrespective of sizes and types give importance to teamwork than the solo performance of the staffs. This is the reason why they give importance to personal attributes than the academic records. At present, the process of accessing the skills is made so easy by different types of pre-employment tests.
Access the capabilities of candidates
There are some qualities that every business organization and service provider expects from the candidate for the desired job for the provided salary package. They never like to take chance and need the right candidates within the first attempt test. It is quite difficult to find the commonalities among the top performers and the new candidates. Now the process is made so easy by the Aptitude Test. Now you can measure different capabilities of the candidates including problem-solving, attention to detail, critical thinking, and the ability to learn, understand and implement the new information with this test.
Updated test paper
A single aptitude test paper doesn't work for all level of jobs with different sectors. The test designed for rail operator will not suit the role of computer operator since both of the jobs need different talents and abilities. Hence you need a customized and updated test paper that covers the questions that have the ability to help the employer in understanding about the mind of the candidate in detail through the answers made. This is one of the important reason for which the companies make use of the test prior to the interview.
Saves good volume of time
Time really values for the businesses and service providers in the US. They never like to spend long hours of time for any of the reasons. They need everything to be done without any lags and delays and hiring process is not away from the scene. It is quite common that a job offer can bring hundreds of applications from different parts. It takes a long time to go through each of the resumes and to make the final list without having an idea about the abilities mentioned above. Now the task is made so easy and effective with these tests. These tests can be conducted online for all of the candidates at their convenient time and locations.
Get instant reports
You can select the right test from the database of the reputed pre-employment service provider and can make use of the link to conduct the test. The link can be shared with the candidates to make them take the test from anywhere. Once the test is completed, the individual score report with detailed information is sent to the concerned departments. The businesses can select the right candidates based on the reports to make the finals list for the personal interview to make it really effective and successful.
Now you very well know what makes the aptitudes test the best in the hiring process.
Purpose of reading the mind of a candidate?
Why should you give more importance to mental and personal abilities of the candidates while hiring? The mode of business administration has changed a lot with the advancement of technologies. In earlier periods most of the job positions were isolated and centred around a single staff. Now the things have changed a lot and most of the reputed organizations have started to work as a family and hence the personal and mental qualities play a good role in the smooth run of business. Now they can be easily accessed with the help of an aptitude test.
Teamwork wins
Now organizations form a team for each of the work and give the task to the team instead of focusing on individual staffs. This system has brought tremendous changes in the working system and results seem to be so amazing. It increases the efficiency of the business and helps a lot in attaining the business target and goals as on time. Hence all of the candidates should show friendly mind and utmost dedication in sharing the thoughts and professional skills for the faster completion of the projects. Any of the candidates with reserved mind and character can kill the spirit of the teamwork. This is the reason why present businesses look for the personal qualities of the candidates.
Problem-solving skills
There may come several situations to create problems in the smooth run of business. It can be in-house problems, the problem with the customers, problem among the customers, problems related to employee issues, salary and perks, facilities and more. All of the business is prone to some of the habitual problems. The candidates with excellent problem-solving skills can easily solve the problems before it turns into a severe issue with immediate and intelligent moves to keep the smooth flow of businesses.
Good rate of employee retention
Employee retention is one of the important issues faced by most of the organizations. They look for the employees who can provide the service for a good period of time. Once you succeed in finding the candidate with a mind to serve the organization with committed minds and hearts, you are made free from the risk of conducting frequent interviews. Aptitude test helps you in finding the candidates who are in search of a steady job than those who love to keep jumping from one firm to another.
Make use of ability test in next hiring process to enjoy these benefits.

(Reuters) - Outsourcing group Capita (CPI.L) on Thursday showed how its restructuring efforts are starting to pay off as the company reported first-half results that included higher margins in some businesses, sending its shares as much as 22% higher.
Capita, which provides IT-led services for the public and private sector, also stuck to its full-year profit forecast.
Like a number of other UK outsourcers, Capita has been overhauling its business to control costs and pay down debt after years of acquisitions that made its complex structure unprofitable.
"Capita is now in the second year of a multi-year transformation and we remain on track to hit the targets we set in 2018," said Jonathan Lewis, who was appointed CEO in 2017 to help to revamp the business.
The company said it was on track to achieve its 2020 target of double-digit operating margins, 175 million pounds ($211.89 million) in cost savings and at least 200 million pounds in annual free cash flow.
Margins rose in four out of its six main divisions in the first six months of 2019.
"The improvement in margins across the divisions was due to cost actions bearing fruit as well as lower losses from challenging contracts," Goldman Sachs wrote in a note.
The group's shares rose to a more than nine-month high at 142.15 pence by 1050 GMT.
Including Thursday's gains, Capita stock has risen more than 23% this year, after shedding more than 80% of its value between 2016 and 2018.
Capita's business services include recruiting staff for the British Army and providing customer services to FirstGroup (FGP.L) railways and retailer Marks & Spencer (MKS.L).
The company said Brexit was still affecting the volume of new policy initiatives by government departments, but could benefit private sector contractors in the long term.
For the six months ended June 30, adjusted pretax profit was 126.1 million pounds, a 3.6% drop from profit of 130.8 million pounds for the same period a year earlier.
Goldman Sachs had forecast a profit of 119.5 million pounds.
Revenue, on an adjusted basis, slipped 6.3% to 1.85 billion pounds and new orders dropped about 10% to 830 million pounds.
The company maintained its annual pretax profit forecast of 265 million pounds to 295 million pounds.

Meghan in Raingear for Visit to Abel Tasman National Park
Following this morning's engagement at the Maranui Cafe, Meghan and Harry grabbed some foul weather gear and headed to Abel Tasman National Park on New Zealand's South Island.
They were there to see some of the conservation initiatives managed by the country's Department of Conservation.
It was a rainy arrival.
A rainy but warm welcome to Abel Tasman #RoyalVisitNZ pic.twitter.com/7rnSCRS4pi
— Hannah Furness (@Hannah_Furness) October 29, 2018
More via a Radio New Zealand story:
As rain fell and weka prowled around, Harry and Meghan were welcomed to the beachside campsite with a traditional pōwhiri from local iwi, with the blowing of a conch shell, a karanga and a long line of hongi.
Inside a marquee set up on the grass, local kaumātua Barney Thomas spoke in te reo, wishing them "kia kaha" with their "pepi", Meghan smiling as this was translated. He later explained that he'd told the royals, "There's two of you now and there will be three of you soon, and I'm sure you'll be supported."
Hannah Furness of The Telegraph points out that "You can only see the top of Meghan's head because, while she's in the front row as honoured guest, her chair is a few inches back from the men for cultural reasons. It is a gesture of protection in Maori culture
Harry then spoke to the group:
Thank you so much for having us today. The weather forecast was a lot worse than this and we are really fortunate to be here. The rain is a blessing and a reminder of our connection to the land.
From my wife, myself and our little bump, it's a blessing to be here.
Here is a video of Harry sharing that message.
"From myself, and my wife and our little bump…" 😭

A Department of Conservation ranger joined them for a walk on Totaranui, a 1km long beach in the park.
Plans originally called for a trail walk, tree planting and barbeque lunch.
The weather prompted the cancellation of the first two items, and brownies and tea replaced the lunch. But they were still able to speak with some of the park's youth ambassadors.
More from the Radio NZ story:
Saskia Gray, 16, an Abel Tasman Youth Ambassador, commented, "It was a great opportunity. I'm very fortunate to have this chance. They acted very down-to-earth, and they genuinely care about the people and the land."
As the couple was preparing to head back to Wellington, they were given several gifts. One of them was a painting of three tui birds, meant to represent Harry, Meghan and Baby Sussex. Hannah Furness shared a photo.
If you are wondering what a Tui bird is, here is a look at one.
Hannah also shared a video of Meghan being given gifts.

Now for our look at what Meghan wore, starting with her jacket by Seasalt Cornwall.
Seasalt looks like a terrific retailer. (This post would have been published 15 minutes earlier had I not grazed endlessly on the Seaside site!)
UPDATE: It turns out Meghan's jacket is an older season piece.
UPDATE: The company has informed us that their Seasalt logo changed in 2016. They are not sure which season Meghan's coat is from. We're thinking that it may have been a jacket lent to Meghan or perhaps it was from a boutique who happened to have older stock still available. Either way this would explain why we had such a difficult time determining style jacket Meghan is wearing.
The jacket is no longer available, but the company does offer recommendations for similar pieces. These include (l to r): the Polperro, the Maenporth, the Seafolly, or the Janelle.
She was wearing her Outland Denim 'Harriet' jeans.Meghan had on a pair of Stella McCartney Stan Smith sneakers.
UPDATE: With thanks to Elizabeth of Meghan's Fashion, it looks like Meghan's scarf was by Loro Piana.
The piece is called the Mélange Cashmere-Silk Scarf ($249); now sold out, this was sold as a menswear item. It measures 68″ x 20″ and is a 60/40 blend of cashmere/silk. The color is called Emerald, a mix of light green, teal and charcoal.
We expect to see the Duke and Duchess shortly when they visit Courtenay Creative for "an event celebrating the city's thriving creative arts scene."
This 2-minute video from Radio New Zealand covers the Abel Tasman trip.
"From my wife, myself and our little bump, it's a blessing to be here."
Despite the rainy weather, Harry and Meghan visited Abel Tasman National Park today, where they learnt about local conservation projects #RoyalVisitNZ

This outfit is perfect for the occasion and it is good to see Meghan in comfortable and flat shoes. The scarf adds a lovely touch to an otherwise rather mundane outfit. Several photos show there is something in red and white stripes near Meghan's neck. Not sure if it is part of the hood, or something on underneath, but it is out of step with the navy and green

I was just delighted to see Meghan give the thumbs-up to the Seasalt label, some of us have been shopping there for years! I confess I don't have any of their clearly superior rainwear as I myself get too distracted by all the original and classy prints they do, not to mention the great quality of the cotton. They're one of the last retail outposts where I can still find a genuinely 100 per cent pure cotton tee.
I like the thought of Meghan raiding the menswear department for her scarf which is such an attractive subdued pattern and texture. It's a lovely colour on her.
I love the picture of the tui bird. I was birding in New Zealand when I was there and some of those indigenous species are just extraordinary. A happy reminder of a terrific trip. This looks like a great wildlife excursion for Harry and Meghan

It's remarkable but the colors of Meghan and Harry's casual rain outfits for Abel Tasman National Park mirror those of the tui bird photograph Susan posted…blues, emeralds, greys, black, navy… and then Meghan and Harry receive a gift of a painting of three tuis!
I tried to find online a photo of the actual painting by the Takaka artist Robin Slow but only came up with the one you show of the back of the canvas. I did look at other work by the artist online and it is rugged and magical just like the natural and adventurous habitat of the National Park.
Susan, if you locate a photo of the painting presented to Meghan and Harry would you please "reply" the link? Thank you!

Cause4Concern have been bashing out top notch techstep bangers on the Drum & Bass scene for well over a decade but this latest release on their own label proves they haven't even remotely lost their touch.
A side Jinx brings the fire in classic techstep style with a signature C4C warping bassline layered over a stomping drum beat. This is dancefloor slaying material and no mistake. Flipside Lowlife doesn't disappoint either with hard hitting kicks and skittering snares giving the track tons of movement. Look out for this one on the 31st of December!

I work part time as a Linux SysAdmin at an ISP. I have worked there for many years and it's a great job, but I'd like to get a full time job.
What is available where I could utilise my skills but is not at an ISP? I want to keep my current gig and the company owner is supportive of this.

Former Workington Town and Whitehaven legend Eppie Gibson has been immortalised with an plaque to commemorate his rugby league career unveiled in Workington town centre.
Washington Square Shopping Centre, in Workington, has funded a blue plaque for Eppie which has been installed near The Entertainer, in the town centre.
Centre manager Richard Ashcroft welcomed Mr Gibson's widow, Marie, to the unveiling of the plaque.
He said: "Eppie was a Workington Town legend, he was a member of Gus Risman's 1952 Challenge Cup- winning side and was part of an incredibly talented and successful Town team, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again.
"We consider it to be very fitting that Eppie's blue plaque is displayed opposite the one for Gus Risman at the top of Risman Place.
"It is our absolute privilege to honour another of Workington Town's greats in our shopping centre."
Eppie was signed by Workington Town in July 1947 and was part of the side that lifted the Challenge Cup against Featherstone in 1952 at Wembley. He was also in the 1955 Challenge Cup final where they lost against Barrow.
And he was Haven coach when they took on the mighty Wakefield at the Recreation Ground in the Challenge Cup third round in front of 18,650 fans, a club record that still stands today.

This box is made of riftsawn white oak and black walnut. It was inspired by an architectural element in a building designed by Louis Kahn. I loved how he made a bridge to span a divide in a wall, so I incorporated that idea into the top of this box. On the top, the lighter colored sap wood defines a narrow gap that is spanned by walnut braces on the inside. Refined and modern, this is an elegant object.

Announcing Pegasus Frontend
I just installed Pegasus this morning and really like the look of it. I'm currently using a SN30 PRO controller from 8bitdo and I have them configured and working properly in the front end. When I launch a game they don't work however the keyboard I have attached does work. The controller works perfectly in EmulationStation.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
@Magma You'll need to configure the controller in your emulator also, Pegasus is just the frontend, has no influence on the emulator's settings.
@mitu I have to configure it per emulator even though it worked fine in EmulationStation on Retropie? How would I go about doing this? I didn't see a per emulator option in Pegasus.
Is there a way to just copy the settings that were used in EmulationStation?
@Magma You didn't mention you're using RetroPie. If you configured the controllers in Emulationstation, at least the RetroArch cores should work. Can you get a verbose log from Runcommand from a RetroArch based emulator ? and post it on pastebin.com ?
@mitu Sorry I'm a bit inexperienced. Is there a command to run from a prompt for that or something?
@Magma When starting a game, use the Runcommand launch menu to enable verbose logging. After the game is run or you exit it - get the
/dev/shm/runcommand.logfile and post it on pastebin.com.
And add some more info about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+
Power Supply used: CanaKit 2.5A USB Power Supply with Micro USB Cable and Noise Filter - Specially designed for the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (UL Listed)
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.4.12
Built From: Premade RetroPie image
USB Devices connected: Logitech keyboard
Controller used: 8bitdo SN30PRO
Error messages received: NA
Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant): https://pastebin.com/Ae3W6FzB
Guide used: NA
File: NA
Emulator: Retroarch SNES
Attachment of config files:
How to replicate the problem: Launch a game from Pegaus Front End. Controller works in front end but not in game.
@Magma The log shows the controller is not configured for RetroArch:
[..] [INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #0 (/dev/input/event0). [INFO] [udev]: Plugged pad: Pro Controller (1406:8201) on port #0. [INFO] [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event1) supports 0 force feedback effects. [INFO] [Autoconf]: 0 profiles found. [INFO] [Autoconf]: no profiles found for Pro Controller (1406/8201). [..]
Re-configure the controller in Emulationstation - Controller Configuration - and try again.
I test Pegasus-fe since some times, and it's very promising. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find new themes.
Yes, there aren't too many yet, hopefully it will get better in the future! (I should also update the theme making tutorials)
@carlhungus74 @AndersHP the playback volume is based on the system's main volume. I think it'd be possible to change that with eg.
amixerwhen Pegasus starts up or launches a game.
@Magma Unfortunately the gamepad setup is not shared with the emulators yet on RetroPie. Would like to add this feature eventually though!
@mitu I rebooted the Retropie and reconfigured the controller. Loaded a game and confirmed it was working.
Exited EmulationStation and loaded Pegasus. Launched a game. Controller works fine in the front end but still does not work at all once a game is launched.
Here is the pastebin of the log. https://pastebin.com/X4DnRkLn
Looks like the same issue.
@Magma I think I know what's the issue - you're running Pegasus as
rootor via
sudo, while Emulationstation runs as the user
pi. As a consequence, the auto-configuration folder - where the gamepad configs are stored - are different.
Don't run Pegasus as
root/ via
sudo- it's not advisable and it will break other configurations also.

But wouldn't lowering the main volume lower the volume in the games also, so the issue will remain the same?
@mitu Perfect that did the trick. Thanks so much.
@AndersHP You could work around that by first reducing the volume before Pegasus starts, raising when a game is launched (by eg. writing a
game-startscript), reducing again when you return from a game (
game-end), and finally raising again when Pegasus is closed.
Other alternatives could be changing the code of the theme to play the videos less loud, or changing videos themselves (eg. some kind of volume normalization), though I haven't tried that yet.
Ok new question. I want to play around with what images Pegasus uses. Originally I was using the setting from EmulationStation. I went and converted my gamelist.xml's to Pegasus' metadata.txt using https://pegasus-frontend.org/tools/convert/. I then disabled EmulationStation in the list of data sources.
After relaunching Pegasus 0 games were found. I believe this is because there is no Collection info at the top of the metadata.txt in each rom folder. Here is an example of the top of one metadata.txt https://pastebin.com/LUiMPWX0
I'm not sure how to configure it correctly to work with Retroarch. Currently only have the following systems, SNES, NES, Genesis, and FinalBurnAlpha.
@Magma Yes, a Collection is required for the games to be found, but fortunately it's also possible to get them from EmulationStation's
es_systems.cfgtoo. Here's a guide I've wrote for a similar case, hope this helps.

@jerzeeloon there have been reports of slow USB access, but it seems to be depending on the device. Do you see anything out of order in the log file (
Sorry it took so long to get back to you but nothing strange in the last run log. Seems dependant on the sheer amount ROMs/assets on initial load. I decreased the amount of ROMs by a few thousand it loaded quicker just doesn't seem like any advantage in speed between a standard USB hdd and my Samsung T5 SSD. That said I can live with the initial load time when taking into consideration that I have boxart, screenshots, fanart, logos and videos in addition to thousands of ROMs it's probably a lot to mull over. What's important is that once in the frontend when I exit an emulator to pick another game the front end pops right back up. So again I appreciate all your work and continued support especially for the Android system, definitely my favorite frontend even in this alpha stage. Also recently got an odroid n2. Would be awesome if I can get it to run on that as well.
@fluffypillow Thanks that did the trick.
I'm really enjoying Pegasus over ES but there's one last thing I'd like to get working.
Currently I'm using a Retroflag SuperPi case (http://retroflag.com/SUPERPi-CASE-U.html) and the Power and Reset buttons are functional in ES (and RecalBox) due to this script https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase
Any ideas on how I can get similar functionality with Pegasus? Would it be as simple as changing the sudo killall emulationstation to pegasus-fe?
@jerzeeloon That's too bad :( Hope I can improve load times in the future!
Also recently got an odroid n2. Would be awesome if I can get it to run on that as well.
Yeah it would be nice to have Odroid releases eventually. It should be possible to build Pegasus for the N2 already, but might need to do some manual setup to make everything work.
@Magma Yes, simply replacing
pegasus-feshould work fine. You could also make it work for both the same time:
os.system("sudo killall emulationstation pegasus-fe; sleep 5s && sudo reboot")

Could you please explain how to launch retroarch and its core. I'm trying to configure the snes metadata.txt to launch the game, but I'm not having any luck. I would think the android example would be different since they're not the same OS.

AskPatty.com, Inc.: Thousand Oaks, California
AskPatty.com takes a two-pronged approach to the women's automotive retail market: For consumers, the
AskPatty.com web site aims to be a reliable source of friendly automotive advice and research. For auto dealers, parts dealers, and other service and repair centers, the
AskPatty.com Certified Female Friendly program trains and certifies them on how to attract and serve women customers.
CEO Jody DeVere says her company fills a void in the car-buying market. Purchasing a car is a big and expensive decision, yet good automotive buying and maintenance advice geared toward women is impossible to find; most sites write for a male buyer or enthusiast.[40] "Many sites don't cover the topic, yet it's the second largest purchase you'll make," Jody says.
Content became the cornerstone of her efforts to build her business, Jody says. By creating content about cars with a tone and approach women could relate to, Jody—a successful entrepreneur with more than 25 years of sales and marketing experience—has built brand recognition for her company without costly advertising.
Prior to the launch of
AskPatty.com, Jody launched the blog (
http://askpatty.typepad.com) as a means of generating early buzz for her new business. She tapped a variety of women as contributors—like auto mechanics, auto retailers, and then-NASCAR driver Deborah Renshaw—to pen posts on their areas of expertise.
