Ryo Hirano: Every razor has its own philosophy
With his epic film Paradise, Ryo Hirano became the first Japan Grand Prix winner last year at the first edition of our festival. Hirano uses the Boy-Meets-Girl relationship as a backbone of the film. Although this structure should be familiar to everyone, Hirano twists it with the surprising co-existence of characters that originally belong to different times and dimensions. In this masterclass, Hirano gives a lecture on the philosophy behind his films, focusing on the choice of topics and accompanied by screenings of his films.

Ryo Hirano
Ryo Hirano is a creator of short animation, cartoonist and illustrator, belongs to FOGHORN. Born in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture in 1988. He graduated from the Department of Information Design, Tama Art University. He produces work that can be deep, bizarre and pop-inspired, featuring a range of themes, from cultural anthropology and folklore to subculture, which are chosen as the mood strikes him. The themes are expressed in diverse forms such as animation, illustration, manga, picture-card shows, VJing and music. This may cause confusion. However, his viewpoint is always based on immediate life, and he likes to focus his work on romance and inhuman creatures.

This chapter explains three key themes that form the basis for arguments in the rest of this book. All the organization design recommendations made in subsequent chapters can be traced to one or more of these themes. Here's a short summary:
• Govern for value over predictability: Software development is a design process rather than a production process. This has several implications for how we go about managing it. In particular, it is futile to chase predictability and important to chase value. More detail is provided in Section 3.1.
• Organize for responsiveness over cost-efficiency: Short IT delivery cycle time is the big promise of continuous delivery. Digital transformation requires this and more to achieve a short ...

abstract:Literary Excursions is a niche-market travel entity. Our tagline is "Let us take you to the places where iconic authors have lived and immortalized through their writing."
The idea sprang out of years of reading great fiction, researching the authors' backgrounds for the purpose of either writing about them in feature articles or leading discussions at book events. Eventually you come to understand that the only way you can truly understand how "place" has shaped their writing, is to go to the source. The final incentive was a desire to connect book group people back to the needs of our libraries via my foundation work.
LE has come up with a list of authors and destination trips: Austen in Hampshire, England; Hemingway in Cuba (Paris, Pamplona or Kilimanjaro), Joyce and Beckett in Dublin, and of course Steinbeck in Monterey and Salinas. We incorporate aspects of local history, culture, cuisine and wines into the mix via expert guides, lectures, tours and tastings. Since we're a pretty active group, there's always an opportunity to walk, cycle, kayak or par-take in some form of physical activity to break up the laughing, talking, eating (drinking) and touring!
Back by popular demand is our trip to "Steinbeck Country" - Monterey and Salinas, California departing Vancouver on June 15th and returning on the 18th. It costs just $1575 per person (based on double occupancy) for an inclusive package of: airfare, hotel, coach transfers, breakfasts, a guided tour of Monterey and Salinas, a fabulous Monterey Wine tasting and more. Single rates provided upon request. This is a perfect "girl's get-away-weekend" or an opportunity for book groups to incorporate into the annual activity calendar. Call HSK Travel, our partners to book. +1 (604) 921-0012 and ask for Yasmin. Then join our Facebook Page.
article:April 26, 2013 — Just want to pay to reserve your spot, and take care of details later? Click here, then we'll contact you to make arrangements.
Susan Shillinglaw, PhD professor at the San Jose U, is our guide. Susan pens the foreword to several Penguin editions of Steinbeck novels, and she has devoted the larger part of her career to understanding Steinbeck. She's an absolute delight.
The Monterey Bay area has so much to offer. Our hotel, The Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa is located right on the water and the beach walk to historic Cannery Row with shops and restaurants is just a short walk. Your host is Paula Shackleton, founder of LE and a writer and literary blogger. Paula has a passion for people and years of experience leading book discussions and organizing author events. One of her favorite parts of the tripis the trip out to the Red Pony Ranch with Susan reading excerpts as we take in un-changed scenery. Then there's the behind-the-scenes tour of the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the "Taste of Monterey" wine tasting. Did you know Monterey has some of the best Pinot Noirs in the world? You'll tour the National Steinbeck Museum, stop by the house where Steinbeck was born and raised.
Some of the comments from the last group that took this trip are: "I give the tour 5/5... the group size was perfect... the hotel was lovely... the Pinot tasting beach event was a fun addition, I particularly like the visit to the Red Pony Ranch with Susan reading from the novel and having a picnic lunch." Marianne Koerner Bianco, Sept 2012.
Steinbeck was born in Salinas California in 1902 and grew up in the Monterey Bay area where most of his fiction is set. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize & the National Book Award for Grapes of Wrath and a Nobel Prize in 1962 for his body of work that includes: Cannery Row, Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, Tortilla Flats, The Pearl, The Winter of Our Discontent, The Red Pony among others. His books have left an indelible mark on our view of the Depression years and family sagas of good and evil. The film adaptations by luminary Directors and Producers: John Ford, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Darryl Zanuck, with actors James Dean, Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, Jayne Mansfield, Spencer Tracy and more add to the legacy. His friendship with mentor and Marine Biologist Ed Ricketts is well represented in The Log of the Sea of Cortez. John was married three times and had two sons, Tom and John, by his second wife. He was an inveterate drinker and smoker. He died at the age of 66 of a heart attack. His ashes are interred in the family grave in the Salinas cemetery.
The Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa is centrally located on the waterfront in Monterey & within walking distance to historic sites, shops and the Aquarium. This turn-of-the-century architectural landmark is our launch point to the area. We have reserved inland view rooms as a basic start. If you wish to upgrade, let us know at booking for best availability.
The coach trip to Salinas passes fields of artichokes and strawberries. We stop at the farm where The Red Pony was inspired, tour the National Steinbeck Center and visit (have tea, optional) the house where Steinbeck was born and raised. The tour is led by Professor Susan Shillinglaw PhD, San Jose University. Susan has dedicated her life to this author. Her latest book on Steinbeck came out last year. She pens the foreword in the Penguin editions of his novels. She is a warm and delightful speaker.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium was one of the favourite added bonuses on our last trip. After a private behind the scenes working tour you have the day to explore on your own. The jellyfish, Great White Shark and giant kelp forest tanks mesmerize, while the sea otter exhibit and touching pools delight. Located right on the waterfront next to shops, the beaches and jogging paths.
The VPL has 22 branches and serves an average of 22,500 visitors per day with another 12,000 accessing the website per day. Annually there are 6.4 million people passing through the doors.
The Vancouver Public Library has two great non-profits: The Friends of the Library and The VPL Foundation. Their efforts generate extra funding that help to augment services and programming beyond public funding budgets. and theyre a great bunch of people to socialize with.
Everyone taking this tour is asked to donate to the VPL non-profit of choice. Go to www.vplf.ca or http://www.friendsofthevpl.ca and click donate using your credit card.

The tense standoff between Google and China could reach its conclusion in two weeks when the search engine giant must renew its Internet-service license.
Beijing's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires all Web companies to submit renewal applications by the end of March, according to reports.
But while extensions are possible, the deadline could nonetheless present either Google or China a prime opportunity to make the next move in a fight over Web censorship rules that has spanned most of 2010.
Google announced in February it would cease abiding by China's historically tough content restrictions, even if that approach meant the search company had to suspend its business operations there indefinitely. The threat arrived in response to a massive January cyberattack that Google alleges originated at two schools in China.
But Chinese officials have hardly budged. The state has denounced the cyberattack and threatened to punish its leaders, but officials have stressed the breach did not originate locally. And while China has said it will respect Google's decision to cease business there, if the company so chooses, it has warned other website owners not to follow suit.
Consequently, Google could choose not to renew its license at the end of March, signaling an end to its search business in China. Alternatively, China could choose to reject Google's application, should the company file it, in an attempt to stop the company from shirking Beijing's censorship rules.
However, Google has mostly stayed mum on which course of action it will take. Rather, CEO Eric Schmidt has promised a resolution to the long-standing China dispute "soon."

Mali admits military setback in northern town
Mali was in crisis Thursday after its troops were driven out of the flashpoint town of Kidal by Tuareg separatists in a humiliating defeat forcing the government to call for an "immediate ceasefire".
Ministers have not revealed how many lives have been lost in clashes with the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) and other armed groups in Kidal since fighting broke out on Saturday.
But an MNLA leader said 40 Malian soldiers had been killed and 70 taken prisoner, while 50 "brand new" 4x4s and 12 armoured vehicles had been seized along with several tonnes of weapons and ammunition.
The latest military setback in a country plagued by ethnic tension, but just beginning to enjoy relative stability, has sent shockwaves through the West African state.
Paris called Thursday for the cessation of hostilities in the rebel-infested north of its former colony, pressing for an urgent resumption of talks between rebel groups and Bamako.
"It is essential that hostilities cease and inclusive talks start," said foreign ministry spokesman Romain Nadal.
The Malian army has been pinned back since Saturday by a coalition of several armed groups, including Tuareg separatists.
An African security source said that the High Council for the Unity of Azawad (HCUC) was the main fighting force, adding that the MNLA and Arab Movement of Azawad (MAA) also took part.
The government claims the rebel assault is being backed by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and "drug traffickers", a claim rejected by the Tuareg fighters.
The most violent clashes took place outside the regional governor's office in Kidal, 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) northeast of Bamako.
The town is the cradle of Mali's Tuareg separatist movement, which claims independence for a vast swathe of northern desert it calls "Azawad" and has launched several rebellions since the 1960s.
The MNLA has been in de facto control of the town since a French-led military intervention codenamed Operation Serval liberated northern Mali from the grasp of Islamists who had captured its towns and cities in a sweeping offensive in 2012.
Residents and a source from MINUSMA described Kidal as "calm" on Thursday.
But the violence has been met with hostility in Bamako and several regional towns, where critics have accused France and MINUSMA, the United Nations peacekeeping force in Mali, of apathy in the face of Tuareg aggression.
In the capital as well as in Gao, the largest city in the north, protesters chanted "free Kidal", "down with MINUSMA, down with France", and "MINUSMA out" while a French school in Bamako shut down for the day, as a "security measure".
"We are sad this morning, for Malians killed in recent fighting... and for this country which was just managing to rebuild," Adam Thiam, of the Republican daily newspaper, wrote in a comment piece.
In an effort to contain growing resentment, the authorities have redoubled appeals to the public for calm and restraint, insisting that "dialogue" is their priority.
Militants exchanged fire with Malian soldiers over several hours on Wednesday, gaining a decisive upper hand.
The government admitted the failure of the army and called for an "immediate cease-fire", appealing to Malians to demonstrate "a high sense of responsibility, to avoid any confusion or any stigmatisation" which could damage Malian unity or relations with international partners.
"MINUSMA, the Serval force and representatives of the international community do not need to worry. They are not our enemies," it said in a statement.
The rebels also claim to have peacefully taken control of a number of smaller nearby settlements, including Menaka, Aguelhoc and Anderamboukane, although this could not immediately be independently verified.
Defence Minister Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga said on the state-run ORTM television station however that army positions throughout northern Mali remain intact outside of Kidal.
"Currently, we have pulled out of Kidal... Menaka is under pressure but it has not fallen and, throughout the other sectors -- Tessalit, Aguelhoc and in the regions of Gao and Timbuktu -- our positions are intact," he said.
He said figures were not yet available for the number of soldiers who had been killed or taken prisoner but added that the true number of captives was smaller than the rebels claimed.
The minister said Mali was considering seeking the support of soldiers from Operation Serval, deployed in January 2013 to dislodge Islamist militants who had been occupying northern Mali for 10 months.
"In Menaka, we have a relationship with the Serval force that is ready to positively consider our request for support.
"We have a relationship with Serval that would enable us to discuss the nature of any support we ask of them, according to how situation evolves," he said.

EDITORIAL: Growth hides debt, poverty, wage issues
Number of NJ residents unable to pay for utilities increases
Politicians, economists and political pundits have touted the fall of joblessness and the growth of economic stability as the nation continues to recover from the Great Recession. While the used statistics and anecdotes depict an economy resuscitated and growing, the deep wounds of debt and economic immobility stretch across the country.
Nearly 80 percent of Americans say they live from paycheck to paycheck. Median household income, adjusted for inflation, has barely budged over the last decade while the incomes of the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans have increased by 10 percent. America does not have job problem right now. It has a good job problem that exacerbates debt, inequality and socioeconomic immobility.
In New Jersey, the economic expansion seen across the nation has been felt by some residents. Median household income in the state rose in 2017 and New Jersey's median household income is among the highest in the country.
And yet, overall wages, after accounting for inflation, failed to grow, one in 10 state residents live below the poverty line and 1 in 7 children are impoverished. Although the median income increased and is among the top in the nation, the gains were concentrated among the few as wage growth was negligible and the chasm of economic inequality persists. At the same time, the number of people struggling to keep their lights on has not fallen, but rather it has increased. Across the state, residents have been tied to cement blocks of debt and watched as the inescapable water of overdue payments and costs of living rose above their heads. New Jerseyans are suffocating in darkness.
According to data from the state Board of Public Utilities, shut-off numbers in New Jersey have been rising and climbed last year to 141,687. In September, residential customers who were more than 30 days past their bill due date owed PSE&G $102 million. Approximately 360,000 residential customers received shut-off notices as they were urged to pay their bill.
At the same time, because of the demonization of social welfare and government assistance, fewer households have been utilizing the low-income programs that could avert shutoffs. Even though both the state and many New Jersey utilities the shut-off numbers continue to rise.
For legislative change, students can voice their support for the bills proposed to address the problem to their elected representatives. To ensure elderly and disabled residents have continued access to vital utilities like water and sewer service, a New Jersey Assembly panel approved a bill Dec. 3 that would expand the state's Lifeline Credit and Tenants' Lifeline Assistance Programs, covering more residents and utilities. State Sen. Gerald Cardinale (R-N.J.), is the sponsor of an initiative that would prohibit electric public utilities from cutting their services or failing to restore the services "if a customer will suffer serious impairment to their health or safety."
There must be a rejection of the degradation and disparagement of the indebted and poor coupled with continued support for those unable to complete bill payments. We need an expansion of programs that cut the tethered weight preventing mobility and keeping the poor's heads below water.

Sundays are strange for me lately. It's my only day not packed with stuff and so in the absence of a crammed schedule, I tend to just collapse. I knitted in bed for a couple of hours today and forced myself to go take my sister to lunch for her birthday (She is not a blog reader but is 30 today so happy day to Courtney! Both sisters are single and in their 30's and not a cat between them!!). While out on this adventure, I used a hand dryer in a public restroom and laughed. Printed on the dryer are the words: Hand Dryers save trees
Hand Dryers are good for the environment
Hand Dryers reduce waste and allow for a cleaner facility so I imagined You will enjoy the Hand Dryer
Shut up and use the Hand Dryer
Do not wipe your hands on your pants Lastly, my haiku has now been recognized elsewhere. Hi! Monkey! dot net is satisfying to me on levels I do not fully understand myself and my haiku submission has found its way onto the poems from pals page. It's not my best, but there it is. Don't call me a poet, just a counter of syllables.

Did you know our wedding is less than 6 months away? Or, as Crate & Barrel puts it, "Only 165 days til the big event!" (This is right next to their red-typeface exhortation, "Add more gifts!")
I feel as if we are way, way behind where we should be at this point. I know that many people, including my amazing sister, succeed in planning weddings on a very tight timeline. But, I still feel anxious and panicky that we have so few things finalized.
If there's one thing I know for sure in this life - and it took me about 30 years to learn - it's that things get done when you make a schedule for doing them. Below is our to-do list, with deadlines, and we will keep you updated as we accomplish these objectives.
List of Totally Non-scary Objectives
1. Invite the Officiant. It's embarrassing that this isn't done already. We practically have the entire ceremony planned, the readings (and readers) picked out. At least the person we have in mind is already coming as a guest. I assume the answer will be "Yes," but I wonder if my procrastination is somehow a sign of avoidance, rather than over-confidence. Deadline: this Friday, May 2.
2. Hire a DJ. It's probably time to get busy with this, since wedding season is in full swing now, and we don't want to be left with some cheeseball DJ and his old Abba records. I'm leaving this to Michael, who has identified at least one good prospect and can also potentially write a good Craigslist post for recruiting more possibilities. I give him a deadline of May 22.
3. Plan Ceremony Music(ians). I have a co-worker who is not only a real liturgical singer, but also a music librarian. I want to invite her to sing, and to help "music direct" the ceremony. I have a feeling she could be very helpful with recruiting instrumentalists and choosing songs/hymns/arrangements that she knows we'd like, but can't find for ourselves. But the asking has been delicate, since I've been keeping this whole wedding on the DL at work. (See, there's another bride in the office, and I don't want to detract from how much she's relishing the Princess thing.) I have to find an appropriate occasion and way to make this request, though. So, I'll give myself a deadline of May 22, just before I leave for NYC.
4. Walk-through with the Tent Guy. This, at least, is already scheduled. We should be prepared, though, with some ideas about what we want, and we should be psychologically ready to fight for our budget. The walk-through will take place on May 23.
5. Design and Print Invitations. Our talented twosome are eager to spring into action. We will meet with them in the last week of May, and hopefully we can make enough progress in planning and collaborative design that they will be able work over the summer, and we'll be ready to put invitations in the mail during August. Deadline for conceptualization: May 28.
6. Book the Buses. We approached the bus issue back in March, and the vendors clearly thought we were a little too early to worry. But, there is a sweet spot between too-early and sorry-we're-booked-up. I think that sweet spot is now. We got an estimate and chose a vendor, we just need to sign a contract and make a deposit. Deadline: June 1.
7. Finalize the Menu. Our farmer friends out in Orange County have confirmed that they can provide us an heirloom pig for the wedding feast. There are two questions that remain to be answered: Can we afford it? And, will the caterer embrace the plan? Deadline for answers: June 6.
8. Get a Florist. Michael spoke to the owner of an organic flower farm (who, unsurprisingly, never replied to my email). She was enthusiastic about doing the wedding, although she demurred on the issue of expense. I'm not sure how to move this forward, since email is obviously not effective. I think we'll have to call and schedule a visit. Although we're swamped with travel next month, I'm saying, Deadline: June 30.
9. Figure out the Bar(tending) Situation. We spoke with the manager of our wine "superstore" on Sunday, and he had good ideas, information, and advice. He says we only need a few weeks' notice to put in an order, and is happy to work with us in fulfilling our plan of serving European wines in magnum. We brought home a few more bottles to taste, and I hope we will make our selections soon. On the cocktail side, we need to have a serious conversation with the caterer about the logistics of this, and I need to figure out if we can buy liquor in New Hampshire on one of our trips up there this summer. Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of that plan (as it requires driving that booze 1,000 miles in a rented car) will take some math. On the whole, the booze situation seems like the least urgent, so I'm giving it a deadline of August 15.
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Outstanding Work, Gentlemen!
Did you know our wedding is less than 6 months away? Or, as Crate & Barrel puts it, "Only 165 days til the big event!" (This is right next to their red-typeface exhortation, "Add more gifts!")

8 Questions To Ask When Hiring a Plumber – Hiring a plumber is one of those household decisions that you really don't want to get wrong. Making the wrong choice in who you hire can cost you both time and money.
It's a competitive industry for homeowners hard-earned dollars. For plumbers Toronto is a particularly competitive market for your hard-earned dollars. We understand how narrowing down the field and making the decision on who to hire can feel a bit overwhelming.
To make it easier, we've compiled this checklist of key questions to ask and research to do before hiring a company for your next household plumbing job in the Greater Toronto Area.
- Are the plumbers fully licensed and insured? It's absolutely essential that you confirm your plumber is properly certified to do the job. In Ontario, becoming a licensed plumber is a long process that serves to make sure the person is fully equipped to handle the job. Don't trust your job to someone who hasn't gone through the licensing process.
- Are the plumbers full-time employees? One of the things that most people don't realize about the industry is that many plumbers use freelance plumbers. That could mean that the plumbers are less accountable to make sure the job is done right, the first time.
- Are the plumbers paid by the hour? People in the plumbing profession are, by-and-large, good people. But human nature is for people to maximize their earnings, which might result in a plumber spending more time than they need to on a job.
- Do the plumbers make commission? Companies that use freelance plumbers generally pay them on a commission basis, which means the plumbers have incentive to upsell their customers into additional services.
- Will they provide an exact cost of the project in writing? Some companies offer their plumbers incentives to upsell their customers into additional services.
- Ask about extra charges. Some companies will tack on extra charges like charges for vehicle fuel, or overtime. Be aware of these up-front so you're not left with any surprises when the work is done.
- Check online reviews and ask for references. The Internet has made it much easier to determine the quality of a company's past work throughout all of the trades. Sites like HomeStars are a great resource for homeowners to determine the reputation of companies and see examples of their past work.
Trust DrainWorks with your next Toronto plumbing job, because since we founded the company in 1995, we've built our business on a commitment to doing things the right way. Here's how we check the boxes on the above list.
- Licensed and Insured? YES. All of our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, so you can rest easy and trust their expertise.
- Full time employees? YES. Our plumbers are accountable for their own work, and the name of the company that we've worked so hard to build.
- Paid by the hour? NO. All of our staff are paid salary, so there's no motivation for them to stick around any longer than necessary. They get the job done right, and let you get on with your day.
- Do our plumbers make commission? NO. Our staff never makes commission, so there's no personal motivation to sell you anything that you don't need.
- Exact cost in writing? YES. We take great pride in our Exact-to-the-Penny Pricing. There are never any surprises, or vague verbal quotes. It's part of our pledge to keep our customers fully informed of the working process, every step of the way.
- Extra charges? NEVER. We never, ever charge for vehicle fuel, or overtime. Any day, at any time, you'll always pay our regular rate, and be fully informed of the exact cost of the project upfront.
- Good reputation and references? YES. DrainWorks is proud of our excellent reputation: we have been named Best Plumber in the City twice by Toronto Life Magazine, have received a Toronto Consumer's Choice Award for 13 years running, and maintain an A+ rating as a BBB accredited business. There are about 1300 reviews of DrainWorks on HomeStars.com, the most of any company on the site, with an average customer rating of 9.5 out of 10. We're also happy to provide any references to our customers – whatever the job calls for, we've done it, and have satisfied customers that will vouch for our quality and service.

San Diego makes surprise appearance as Trump takes the stand during impeachment deliberations.
All for the Wall
Walter Mencken noon, Dec. 13
If anyone is still around who thinks San Diego's future won't be determined by big business from afar, a new bout of behind-the-scenes boardroom jockeying by Union-Tribune and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong may disabuse them of the lingering notion that locals can command their own fate.
In days of yore, Jim and Helen Copley, and later Republican kingpin Doug Manchester, all of La Jolla, lorded over city hall, assuring development went as they wanted, including a vast new Navy Hospital in the middle of Balboa Park, an auto-packed Mission Valley, and L.A.-style North City sprawl.
But big pharma power-player Soon-Shiong of Los Angeles, who took over the U-T in June with no apparent skin in the local real estate game, has much grander national ambitions, per word on Wall Street regarding a putative partnership with McClatchy Newspapers to take over star-crossed tronc.
The strangely-named Chicago-based newspaper operation, which sold the L.A. Times and U-T to Soon-Shiong for $500 million and change, is back in play,with the tronc-owned Chicago Tribune reporting September 14 that Sacramento-based newspaper chain McClatchy, owner of the California capital's daily Bee, is talking tronc takeover.
Any would-be deals for tronc implicitly involve Soon-Shiong, who is the company's second-largest shareholder with 25 percent, thanks to his 2016 role as a white knight in a pitched battle against a failed takeover bid by Gannett, another fading newspaper giant.
With his stake in tronc, along with full ownership of the L.A. Times and Union-Tribune, Soon-Shiong could stand to be a new age Charles Foster Kane, potentially eclipsing his billionaire rivals, including the Washington Post's Jeff Bezos.
Asks media blogger Ken Doctor in a September 17 post, "Could California become a new epicenter of the American local newspaper business? Could Patrick Soon-Shiong have found a bigger lab to test his theories of AI-enhanced journalism?"
Doctor postulates that the U-T and L.A. Times could align with a McClatchy-merged tronc in quest of the newspaper industry's Holy Grail, a money-making online news and Artificial Intelligence behemoth yet to be invented.
"Five major newspapers would now stretch from San Diego to Sacramento. McClatchy's three Bees — in Sacramento, Modesto, and Fresno, all aligned in the populous central valleys of the state — would find themselves aligned with Southern California's two biggest dailies, the Times and the Union-Tribune," notes Doctor, writing for Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab.
"Such a 'chain' could offer much in the way of journalistic sharing and additional cost efficiencies. The dream — had by many and hatched successfully by none — of 'California-wide' news digital news products would inevitably get a new life at some point."
Though unspoken, consolidation schemes have in the past involved layoffs and further declines of the newspapers sucked into their vortexes, along with far less attention to local affairs, with none of the touted enhanced reporting.
Adding to the doubts of some is the recruitment of ex-U-T managing editor Kris Viesselman to fill the amorphous-sounding post of Chief Transformation Editor at the L.A. Times without adequate explanation of what she will do.
Thus, an endgame remains difficult to decipher, especially as print advertising continues to plunge and details of Soon-Shiong's online and video revival plans for the San Diego paper and its big sister in L.A. continue to duck full disclosure.
"In the next few weeks, as we approach the 100-day mark following completion of Nant Media's acquisition of the Times, we shall communicate more with all of you, making sure you know where we are going and how we are going to get there," Times executive editor Norm Pearlstine wrote to the paper's staff on September 13 in an email posted by LA Observed that was otherwise devoted to a warning against overly decorating the new El Segundo newsroom.
"In the past few weeks we have seen some, ahem, colorful DIY décor popping up on our news floors," noted Pearlstine. "Refrigerator doors have been decorated and posters have been affixed to furniture, including, most conspicuously, one depicting a vending machine on the newly-installed phone booth."
"Please be assured that we do not seek to limit communication. We have, for example, created comfortable and functional sitting areas to encourage conversation and collaboration. We are also installing bulletin boards on floors devoted to editorial, so all employee notices can be posted, and, as a reminder, all employees may decorate their personal work areas consistent with Times policies. (End caps of desks, however, are not part of the personal work area.)"
Added Pearlstine, "Housekeeping and security will assist in ensuring that our building retains its professional appearance and décor."
A nice neat newsroom, well isn't that hunky-dory! But a real newsman like Kolchak, the Night-Stalker ain't gonna work there.
Matt; Excellent story, but how in the world would McClatchy take over tronc? McClatchy has good publications and excellent journalists, but an absolutely frightening debt load. See article below:
Best, Don Bauder
Wow, sounds like Norm will soon be going around like an old schoolmarm whacking on staff member's wrists with a ruler, saying "cut that out, you naughty boys and girls."
The U-T is nothing but fish wrap.
Is that the same Kris Visselman who was the managing editor at the U-T when sexual harassment was rampant under the Papa Doug era and did nothing about it?

Dallas Ebola patient's doctor admits missing symptoms in initial ER visit
The Dallas emergency room doctor who initially treated the first patient to die of the Ebola virus on U.S. soil has admitted to missing key symptoms of infection during the patient's initial visit.
Dr. Joseph Howard Meier of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital told The Dallas Morning News that he was not aware that Thomas Eric Duncan had recently arrived in the U.S. from Liberia, or that he had a 103-degree fever shortly before he left the hospital in the early hours of Sept. 26.
"I was unaware of a 103-degree fever," Meier said in written answers to questions released by his attorney. "It appears in the chart, but I did not see it." A fever that high is a key potential symptom of Ebola.
Two days after his initial visit, Duncan returned to the hospital in an ambulance and was quickly diagnosed with Ebola. He died Oct. 8.
Duncan's sister and fiancee have said he told medical staff in the emergency room during that first visit that he was from Liberia, though the hospital's medical records only indicate Duncan said he was from Africa.
The hospital has already acknowledged mistakes in its care of Duncan and said its records system previously didn't make a patient's travel history clear.
Duncan's case set off a scramble by authorities to monitor dozens of people who potentially had contact with him, including in the days after his release from the hospital. None of those people ended up testing positive for Ebola. Two Presbyterian nurses were infected while treating him, but have since recovered.
Meier said that had he known Duncan was from Liberia, "this would have prompted me to contact the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and begin an evaluation for Ebola."
But he was less sure about the 103-degree reading.
"Given what little information I had, a 103 temperature would most likely not have helped with the diagnosis of Ebola," Meier said. "Although, if it did not quickly improve, he could have possibly been admitted to the hospital."
Asked about whether he would do anything differently, Meier said it was "virtually impossible" to say.
"Based on the information I had at the time, I believe that the care and treatment were appropriate," he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I left on Monday, November 16 to bring my daughter to Marquette for an appointment. I said good bye to Mr. Nose and left. My youngest daughter got home just before us. We came home put out dogs and such. Later that evening we were feeding the cats when we discovered Mr. Nose and his mom, Charlotte, were missing. We had no idea where they were. Charlotte came in the next morning, Tuesday. We searched on Monday night, and most of Tuesday. We left for a couple of hours to run some errands. I said some prayers to find Mr. Nose. When we got home I saw feet sticking out from behind a car we have parked next to the garage. I ran over. There was poor Mr. Nose. Someone had torchered him and threw him back in my yard! Dave buried him. I have been crying and mourning since Tuesday yet, something inside of me keeps saying, "Mr. Nose is alive and will be home soon." I know it is probably nothing more than denial or my brain trying to deal with the trauma, but this small voice is so nagging I am at the point where I am thinking about digging up the body and double checking. I want so bad for Mr. Nose to be alive and home with me. But, I can't deny the cat in the grave either. I find myself calling for him as well. It sounds weird I know, but I wonder, could that small voice be right? I don't think so. I decided I will let you all know. I am having a hard time writing right now and I so miss my Nose!
I have been off for a while and came back to a very new wordpress! There is a new format!

With Memorial Day around the corner, people all over the country will be firing up their grills! Which is great, unless you don't know how to grill. It can be intimidating if you've never grilled before, or you've really only stumbled your way through a couple of times. We've got some of our favorite tips to give you the best beginner's guide to grilling. Enjoy a nice steak, or some grilled veggies alongside the rest of the nation this summer in confidence by reading these tips!
Clean the Grill
Starting off with a clean grill is super important when it comes to grilling your food. You wouldn't (or shouldn't) cook in a dirty pan, so don't cook on a dirty grill. Not only is it gross, but it can leave your grilled food with remnants of the old food and flavors into it. Cleaning your grill is simple and should only take a couple of minutes if you stay up on it. Get a wire grilling brush to get all the stuck-on junk off the metal rack. Use the other, more spingelike side to really scrub it clean. Then, before grilling the next time, simply put some olive oil on a folded paper towel and just rub it on the grilling grate. This will create a nice non-stick surface, and will make sure any and all bits of food are removed before you fire up the grill.
Lighting the Grill
This seems silly, but it is a Beginner's Guide to Grilling, after all. For a propane grill, you will need to turn the propane tank on first. On the grill heat control knob (like what you find on the front of your oven), press it inward and turn it to the left. This will set off a little ignitor with a small spark, so the grill is lit. Once it's lit, then you can use that knob to adjust the level of heat you will be cooking with. Sometimes the grill won't start with the first click, so you may need to move the knob back and forth a few times, to ignite the spark and get it to light.
If you have a charcoal grill, you will need charcoal, obviously. Fill the bottom of your grill, and then use a little lighter fluid to help start the fire. Use a long grill lighter to light the charcoal on fire. Place the grill grate on top using grilling gloves or your grilling tongs. Do not use your bare hands to put the grill grate back on over the fire. Allow the fire to die down a bit before placing your food on to grill.
Prepare Your Meat or Vegetables
After the grill is lit, you need to allow it to warm up, like you would a pan on the stove. While it's warming, you can prepare your meat. Pat your meat dry with a paper towel, and then season both sides liberally. Use a tray or large plate to take your meat out to the grill. Use tongs to put your meat on the grill. If you're cooking vegetables, unless they're large, you will most likely need to use a grill basket or tin foil. Don't be afraid to use tin foil! Tin foil will cook vegetables that are already cut up. Add some butter and some seasonings to the foil packets and let them cook, your vegetables will be moist and delicious!
Don't Be Afraid of Fire
When you're cooking meat on the grill, there's gonna be a little fire licking at the edges of your meat. This is one of the important tips in the Beginner's Guide to Grilling. As long as its not a raging inferno, you should be fine. A little char on the meat gives it that smoky, grill flavor and is desirable. Don't be afraid to let it sit in the heat for a bit. Keep an eye on it, and let it cook.
Set a Timer
The best way to cook your meats evenly is to set a timer so you know when to flip them. Weber has a great guide on how long meats should be cooked by weight, to give you an idea of time. Set a timer, and stay near the grill. When the timer goes off, flip the meats or vegetables using the tongs, and then set the timer again. Use a food thermometer if you're unsure if your meats are cooked thoroughly.
Remove Food From the Grill
The last tip in our Beginner's Guide to Grilling is about removing food from the grill. Once the timers go off, remove the food from the grill. If you allow items to stay resting on thr grill, even if you turn the heat off, you will dry your meat out, and it will be tough. Place all your food back on a large tray like before, and bring it insde. If you're waiting on other dishes to finish before eating, cover your grilled foods and place them somewhere warm so their temperature stays optimal.

Sean Dyche concedes Burnley were outplayed in their 3-1 loss at Southampton, but felt the outcome of Sunday's contest could have been different if his side were awarded a first-half penalty.
The visitors saw claims for a spot-kick for Virgil van Dijk's challenge on Johann Berg Gudmundsson waved away by referee Mike Dean in the first half at the St Mary's Stadium with the score at 0-0.
Southampton turned on the style after the break with Charlie Austin's brace – the second of which came from a debateable penalty – against his former club either side of Nathan Redmond's well-taken finish taking the game away from Burnley, who bagged a consolation through Sam Vokes' spot-kick.
And Burnley managed Dyche was left frustrated with a decision that he felt was "impossible to get wrong".
"We should have had a penalty at 0-0 which would make the game different. That's stretching it a bit because they are a very good side but we needed that decision," he told Sky Sports.
"It's beyond a good shout, it's an impossible decision to get wrong.
"They got a very soft penalty, minimal contact if any. But this is not making excuses, they could have scored even more, but you need those decisions to go your way.
"Southampton are in good form, they break their shape and they are a side to be reckoned with."
Burnley have now conceded three goals in each of their past three away games and Dyche believes it is their performances at Turf Moor that will prove crucial in their battle to stay in the Premier League.
He added: "We know home form is important for us. We have shown bravery at home and we have to take games on away from home now.
"We need a bit more bravery to play with freedom. We are tense away from home."

We have been working with John A Ray & Associates for many years and would have no hesitation in recommending your services.
We find you to be extremely reliable, efficient and professional and your standard of service aligns itself with our service standards and values.
I look forward to continuing our working relationship for many years to come.
Debbie Hine, Events Manager
Tylney Hall Hotel, Rotherwick, Hampshire
We just wanted to thank you for the excellent service we received from you for our Wedding booking. With the added stress of the TUC march through London we really appreciated your flexibility in the timings and the route! The driver was so friendly and helpful and made what could have been a very stressful journey, most enjoyable. We arrived at Soho Square with plenty of time and the Wedding was simply wonderful. In the evening, the driver was the the Gherkin early on both occasions which was also much appreciated. We shall definitely recommend your services to our friends.
Jemma & Jonathan, Bride & Groom
First of all let me inform you of my appreciation of your service during our event, it was very good and it all went very well for us thanks to your excellent performance. Apologies for a few last minute changes but this is as you know very difficult to avoid no matter how well you prepare in advance.
Claudia, Marketing Manager
Thanks for all the support you gave me over the Brookland Hotel event. The event was a great success and it helped knowing that our transport requirements were in very safe hands. It's a pleasure to work with you. Please convey my thanks to all who contributed to our transportation requirements.
Ruth, Administrative Assistant
My colleague and I had the pleasure of being driven by your driver, x, during the Farnborough Air Show last week. We found him to be extremely positive, friendly and most accommodating. He seemed to go out of his way to not only safely get us to our destination but to also be a tour guide and unofficial ambassador of England. It was our personal observation that his knowledge of local roads and routes often had us avoiding the traffic that seemed to be unavoidalbe. I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge his efforts and to thank you for the service that he provided for us.
Michael, Executive
They were over the moon with the overall service, and special thanks to the driver x, who they agreed was the most professional driver they had ever had. They will definitely be using you again, which is good news for me, as I now have a regular company to use! So thanks all round.
Claire, PA
The feedback from the Executives was that the level of service was fantastic and I'd like to thank you very much for arranging all of this to ensure it ran so smoothly.
Helen, PA to CEO

You likely know the story of Jonah:
- He tries to run from God
- Spends a 3-day "time out" in a fish
- Is given a second chance
- Then does what God commands, albeit with a bad attitude
He proclaims, "Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned."
Eight concise and direct words. He doesn't use persuasive language, doesn't implore the people to act, and doesn't show any compassion or concern. He is blunt and to the point. Technically, he does what God tells him to do, but his heart isn't in it.
Amazingly, the people get his message, are convicted, and repent. So God lovingly relents and calls the whole thing off — and Jonah gets pissed.
Jonah even picks a good seat to watch the destruction take place — and then pouts when God gives Nineveh a reprieve.
Essentially, Jonah reluctantly preaches a bad sermon and then gets mad because it's successful.
Despite all that, God is able to use him anyway. How encouraging!

Qantas takes high design to the skies with new tableware range
How can a storied Japanese ceramic house, a renowned Australian chef and a leading international airline rethink the design of functional tableware, to deliver a collection driven by elegance, ergonomics and an ethical conscience? Enter industrial designer David Caon. He has not only conceived Qantas' new 16-piece ceramic collection with Noritake and the airline's creative director of food, beverage and service, Neil Perry (plus glassware and eating utensils), but has accented them with aesthetic flourishes and bespoke quirks – albeit very calculated ones.
Marking ten years since Marc Newson created a dining set for Qantas with Noritake, Caon's pieces will appear in December 2017 when the new cabin interiors he also designed for the 787 Dreamliner crafts hit the airways. The tableware collection will then arrive in the airline's International First, Business and Premium Economy, Domestic Business, First and Business Lounges and Qantas Clubs there after.
Caon's design objective focused on what he terms 'graceful utilitarianism,' marrying lightness with durability and quality. He was tasked with minimising the airline's carbon footprint by reducing the weight of the new range (he did this by 11 per cent) resulting in an average annual saving of 535,000kg of fuel.
Bone china vessels, by David Caon and Noritake, for Qantas
The ceramic range – milky white bone china with a lustrous sheen and two porcelain pieces required to tolerate intense heating processes – needed to withstand industrial washing, service and stacking at 40,000ft and transportation to and from aircrafts.
'I avoided hard corners and sharp angles where I could,' explains Caon. 'The 800 mm curve was a driving design rule we applied – it gives continuity across the range as well as being in harmony with the interiors crafted for the 787 Dreamliner.' This style is recognised from the arch on the cups, through to the raised rims of the ceramic platters and plates that deter slippage and spillage.
Teapot lids lock into their bases to avoid clinking in the galley and during service, while handles slant outwards at their base to encourage a snug grip. Caon adds, '[These are] nuances that customers may not notice, but add to the experience.'
Even the brush-furnished stainless steel flatware includes knives with grooved handles echoing this signature curve, affording a comfortable clasp. The glassware, made from lead and barium-free crystal, 'allowed for a thin profile with a beautiful clarity and feel without compromising its strength'.
Special pieces including a signature plate and canapé dish featuring a maker's mark subtly nodding to the craftsmanship of artisanal pieces. A grey ink motif with lighter ghostly tones breaks up the uniformity of the collection. The tableware will in time be available to purchase.

Customers Testimonials
After many years of living like the Flintstones we are happy to begin our journey of life off the grid as the Jetsons ! We always talked about one day growing our own food, collecting our own water, and yes, generating our our power. Pro Solar & Telsa have made this dream come true. A few years ago we bought our dream home in Wintberg and started Sugar Brown's Veggie Farm (named after our dog Sugar ) with two Telsa batteries and a 10k system we can now live free from the system. What next… a flying car? Well not quite yet but next year two electric cars and chickens and ducks, maybe even a goat !
After Maria I decided that it wasn't worth running our Generac 6 hours a day and spending $1800 month in propane. After telling Brad of my situation (8 people and 7 dogs between the main house and 2 one bedroom apartments, he came to the rescue.) Step 1, reinstall 24 solar panels that got ripped off the roof. Check. Step 2, send a team out and install a powerwall. Check. It was all pretty seamless. I got my tenants to install the Tesla app and we have all become more energy efficient in order to have power 24/7. Between the apartments and main house I have 4 refrigerators, a water pump, washer and gas dryer, lights, fans, tv's and a rotating schedule for 3 hot water heaters. Managed properly, we can do all this with one powerwall ad not run the battery dry. Incredible. Brad and team are true professionals. If you have questions or problems, they pick up the phone and respond to texts and emails right away. I might even go pay them for the powerwall now. Lol.
All in all I'm 100% impressed with the capabilities of a Tesla Powerwall and 100% impressed with ProSolar's professionalism and attention to detail.
Great job ProSolar.
Pro Solar is really really good at what they do! We have been living off grid for nearly three years and for the first time since the start we have a perfect power system in place. In less then three days Pro Solar had extremely talented electricians, engineers, and powerwall experts come to our property and get a system up that is perfect for our home. They are all knowledgeable, professional, and friendly from start to finish. If you are thinking of investing in solar panels and/or a Tesla Powerwall just give them a call and get your consultation. Thank you so much Pro Solar, you guys have taken power related stress off our plate, and helped improve our families quality of life.
We've worked with Prosolar a few different times since 2012 to gradually make our home self sufficient and "off the grid" and each and every time the experience has been 5 star! My first experience with Prosolar was purchasing and installing solar panels for my home. Brad took his time to explain and educate me on the process and make sure the install was quick and easy. Their 5 star service didn't end with the install, anytime I've had questions since they are always quick to respond and make sure that all questions are answered. The most recent experience was unplanned and unexpected. After Hurricane Irma, my husband and I immediately knew that we wanted to install Tesla Powerwalls on our home. Just 4 days after the storm we contacted Brad to see about getting the Powerwalls on island and installed on our home. We knew it was a long shot but we put out the call and even after a major hurricane…Brad again was quick to respond. The first estimates put the systems on island several months out; however, within a month we were well on our way to the install. After using the Powerwalls for almost two months now and being educated by the Prosolar team we are better managing our power usage and saving money each and every day! Thank you to Brad and the team for everything they did to get the systems on island and installed quickly! We can't thank you enough!

Select a natural object with interesting detail and, using a black fibre-tipped pen or a similarly 'non-expressive' tool to create a simple line drawing on a sheet of A4 paper. Where necessary, add a few marks and lines to position it within a believable environment.Concentrate on the object and, as far as possible, do a continuous line drawing.
Red onion- Black ink pen on A4 cartridge paper. For this exercise I chose to draw half a red onion using a V7 pilot black writing pen. I loved this exercise, I felt free to create a random line (I avoided straight lines and used stumbling and squiggles as much as possible) and just kept building up texture and depth of tone by working over the darker areas more and more to create contrast. It was a little like gently stroking the onion and I felt increasingly sensitive to it's contours, highlights and patterns as the picture developed. I was very pleased with the result. I had started the picture in the car but later put the onion on a chopping board with a knife to finish it off and to create a background and context. As suggested in the course notes I was impressed by how a simple line flowing across paper can so effectively create the impression of three dimensions.

Break Stays Away on Giro d'Italia Stage 17Wed 28 May 2014
The ORICA-GreenEDGE trio of Ivan Santaromita, Michael Hepburn and Svein Tuft finished in the bunch on stage 17 of the Giro d'Italia, nearly 16 minutes behind stage winner Stefano Pirazzi. The Bardiani-CSF rider emerged from a 25-strong breakaway group that formed in the second hour of stage to take the win in Vittorio Veneto. Santaromita was the first across the line for the Australian outfit in 110th place at 15'36.
"The boys definitely tried to make the break today," said Sport Director Matt White. "Heppy was in a lot of moves. It took 70 kilometres for that group to go away."
"It was the last chance for most guys above 65 kilos to win a stage," White added. "We're obviously going back into the high mountains again tomorrow, and the next few days are for the climbs – and the last day is usually one for the sprinters. There were a lot of guys desperate to be in that break today, which is why it took so long to form."
All but four teams had representation in the escape group, and none of the riders in the move presented any threat to the overall classification. The breakaway had right composition to discourage a chase.
"When the move formed, that was all she wrote," said White. "Obviously, with only three guys, we don't have a team to bring it back. There wasn't much we could do."

A Clean & Pristine Baselayer for Offline Development
When using online services to provide the baselayer for your app, you depend on an Internet connection to be able to see and develop anything. I was looking for a clean baselayer that I could serve locally on my laptop.
I found World Light (world-light.mbtiles, 1220MB) from the great folks at MapBox.
It's in MBTiles format (full spec, based on SQLite, for easy offline use).

Wiki Loves Love is an International photography campaign which aims to document love testimonials across various societies, communities and beyond through the whole world. From monuments to ceremonies, from miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love to tender gestures, let's show to the world how love is expressed everywhere and in various ways.
The 2019 edition is essentially a Wikimedia Commons contest which will attain the valuable media – images and videos about different festivals and wedding ceremonies in cultures around the globe that can later support various Wikimedia projects. It will animate the broader Wikimedia community in improving its coverage on various cultures and new forms of heritage that haven't otherwise been documented so far.
The contest is scheduled to run from 1st February to 28th February 2019. The theme calls for photographs and videos files that document all manner of festivals, celebrations, ceremonies and rituals of love across the continents in different cultures and regions.

The next-generation Range Rover Evoque has aced its Euro NCAP tests this week, earning a five-star safety rating.
The new model, which is the second generation of the popular small SUV received an adult protection rating of 94 percent, a child protection rating of 87 percent, a pedestrian protection rating of 72 percent and a safety assist technology rating of 73 percent.
All those high scores add up to the Evoque being the safest Land Rover to hit the roads ever tested by Euro NCAP—or the European New Car Assessment Program, Australia's ANCAP safety counterpart.
The new Evoque's ratings put it well ahead of its first generations score, even with the tougher Euro NCAP scoring system used compared to the one in 2011, when the first generation first became available.
Modern driver assist technology was singled out by Euro NCAP's general secretary Michiel van Ratingen, who said that said that "it's good news that some of the basic driver assist technologies will finally be mandated from 2022, but thankfully most vehicle manufacturers are already way ahead of the curve today."
Maximum points were awarded to the Evoque for its automatic emergency braking system when tested at city speeds, no doubt helping its high safety assist technology score.
The new Evoque will be available in Australia this year.

Does Work History Impact Your Job Hunt?
In many ways, the job search has not changed much. For most jobs, you still go through an interview process. You still have to present yourself in a positive, professional manner. You still need to create an impressive resume and cover letter.
But how does your work history impact your job hunt? Are you automatically eliminated from consideration if you have had multiple employers over a short period of time? Let's take a look at a few different ways to frame up responses to questions about your work history.
Upward trajectory
Historically, the hallmark of a quality career path was defined within the four walls of one company by a series of promotions and increasingly important jobs that led to management roles. Today, it is now common for people to change jobs frequently and not always for a definite advance in title. Lateral moves are the norm. People are often recruited by start-ups or offered attractive opportunities to enhance a skill set or simply to be part of something new and exciting.
Traditionally, this might be a red flag to a hiring manager. But this is not the case anymore. Today's recruiters understand that many people make lateral moves not for salary, but for learning opportunities or experiences.
Multiple employers
A generation ago, a solid work history with one employer was the gold standard for a potential new hire. Today, the exact opposite is true. A work history that is laid out under one company logo is viewed as a one-stop career. The question is usually asked, "Why has no one else come calling?"
If you have moved through two or three companies, from working as a sales rep, then into sales management and then into a marketing manager position, that work history can easily be defined as professional growth.
It's all about skills
In today's job market, your ability to get a job lies more in your skills than your ability to remain employed with one company. It's not enough to give a vague listing of skills on your resume. In other words, putting "budget management" on your resume simply won't cut it. Instead, offer details on budgets you've managed before. For example, how big was the budget and what were the expectations for how the money was spent? Did you produce results under budget and save your employer money? Be specific and provide concrete examples of your talents and capabilities.
Tipping points
The difference between two candidates can come down to intangible qualities. If you can highlight the fact that you are innovative, dynamic, a hard worker, and a results-oriented worker, it could give you the edge you need to land the job. Take the time to know your value, and then weave that into your resume and cover letter. If there was a time you addressed or solved a problem, share that, but do so succinctly; you are writing a resume, not a novel.
When you are ready to see what the job market has to offer you, think of Snelling. We have helped match exceptional people with exceptional opportunities for over 65 years. Let us help you find your best-fit job – locate your nearest Snelling office and contact us today.

How to build an edge gateway using the UKCloud Portal
To enable your end users to access your VDC, you need to create an edge gateway to provide connectivity. The UKCloud Portal provides the ability to build an edge gateway, without having to raise a service request.
You can also create edge gateways using the Portal API. For more information, see the UKCloud Portal API User Guide.
Intended audience
To complete the steps in this guide, you must be a vCloud Director administrator.
Building an edge gateway
If your VDC is located on the Assured OFFICIAL security domain, its edge gateway provides access to the internet. If your VDC is located on the Elevated OFFICIAL security domain, its edge gateway provides access to your other VDCs in the Elevated OFFICIAL domain.
You can build edge gateways in any of your compute services in regions 5 or 6, not just those you created using the Portal. For information about building compute services and VDCs, see the Getting Started Guide for UKCloud for VMware.
Log in to the UKCloud Portal.
For more detailed steps, see the Getting Started Guide for the UKCloud Portal.
In the Portal navigation panel, expand VMware Cloud and then select the compute service in which you want to create the edge gateway.
To create an edge gateway using the Portal, the compute service must be in region 5 or 6.
From the Actions menu, select Build Edge Gateway.
If this option is greyed out, either you do not have the appropriate permissions or your compute service is not in region 5 or 6.
On the Build Edge Gateway page, from the Associated VDC list, select the VDC for which you are creating the edge gateway.
The VDC names in the list include information about the security domain in which the VDC is located and the VM type of the VDC.
The list of VDCs includes all VDCs in the compute service, whether or not they already have an edge gateway. If you select a VDC that already has an edge gateway of the same type, you will get an error.
Click Build.
The Edge Gateway Build Status page displays information about the edge gateway you're building and lets you know how the build is progressing.
You can stay on this page until the build is finished, or you can leave this page and check the status of the build later by going to the VMware Cloud Build History report.
When the build is complete, the page displays either a success or fail message.
If the build is successful, you can now start configuring the edge gateway. For a quick guide on how to do this, see How to build a virtual machine with UKCloud for VMware.
If the build is unsuccessful, raise a support ticket (quoting the Build ID) to resolve any issues.
Next steps
After you create your edge gateway, we recommend that you convert it to an advanced gateway to access the latest vCloud Director functionality. For more information, see How to convert your edge to an advanced gateway.
For information about how to configure your new edge gateway, see:
If you find an issue with this article, click Improve this Doc to suggest a change. If you have an idea for how we could improve any of our services, visit the Ideas section of the UKCloud Community.

Welcome to our new web site. We are pretty happy with it. Enjoy exploring it, and take a birds eye look of Panton Hill with the drone footage.
Our most recent wine release just before Christmas was a 2014 Blanc De Noir. If you weren't aware of this, take a look at the wine page and the Tasting Notes description. This is a rare style, even in France, and you won't find it in many bottle shops either. It is truly delicious and no one should die before trying it at least once. Our 30 year old plus Pinot Noir vines have done us proud with this one!

May has been an interesting month, music wise.
You know when it's almost summer when Enrique Iglesias comes out with another banger! And of course, it's with his good buddy Pitbull too! What shocked me though was how quickly my brain screamed "SUMMER" the moment I pushed play on this song the first time. Between this track and Liam Payne's new one with J. Balvin, I've been doing a lot of dancing lately!
Ohh, and we have to talk about the fact that my queen Christina Aguilera is back in action! I am SO excited, like I was literally stalking her Facebook for a good three days to see what the hell was going on, because the cryptic videos in the beginning were really weird, but now that we know I cannot contain myself with how much excitement this has been for me lately!
Has anybody else went on Netflix "Music & Musicals" and watched any of the live concerts? I found Hans Zimmer "live in Prague" concert and after that, I've been really curious about it. Well, this month, I finally watched it and I really enjoyed it! I'm really falling in love with movie scores in the past several years so it kind of felt normal to me to watch this one first. As a fair warning, you will cry during the performance of The Lion King! I guess that's my warning for the day, I ever get invited to see the Broadway musical one day!
For this playlist, I've tried to put everything that I've heard from movies, TV shows and outings as a way to help remember what happened that day. I've also been getting back into hip hop so there are quite a bit of rap music on there too! If you'd like to see more of what I've been listening to for May, here is the Spotify playlist!
Here is my Top 10 songs for this month!
Bad Girlfriend by Anne-Marie
Move To Maimi by Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull
Adore by Amy Shark
Pynk by Janelle Monae featuring Grimes
Tomorrow We Fight by Tommee Profitt and Svrcina
Passionfruit by Drake
For You by Serena Ryder
Girls by Rita Ora featuring BeBe Rexha, Charli XCX and Cardi B
Twice by Christina Aguilera
Lovesick by Laurel
Before I go, I'm doing something very different for this summer's Tune Tuesday series. I need some time to update my list of international musicians, so I'm having an artist of a band that you may not have heard of, write some pieces for both June and maybe July too! So you'll have to keep an eye out for them! And like always, here are the previously featured music reviews I've done–except for Thursday's, it'll be on my next monthly playlist instead!
Ledger by Ledger | America by Thirty Seconds To Mars | Awake by Alison Wonderland | Sick Boy by The Chainsmokers | Church Of Scars by Bishop Briggs
So what have you been listening to lately?

ExxonMobil's mammoth discovery off Guyana's coast has grown even bigger — the deepwater Stabroek block is now estimated to contain 4 billion barrels of recoverable oil, the company announced Monday.
Why it matters: The new estimate (its prior estimate was 3.2 billion barrels) is a bright spot for Exxon, and a key part of Exxon's long-term recovery strategy. The last several years have been an atypically difficult stretch for the company, including a stock price plunge earlier this year with only partial recovery, and it has struggled to grow production even as crude prices have come back.
