What are the benefits of a modular data centre?
Modular is faster, more predictable, and more granular in its build-out, than traditional data centre design and build allowing for a grow-as-you-need data centre strategy – which can lead to substantial total cost of ownership (TCO) savings.
Prefabricated modular data centre (PFM) are precision manufactured in a factory-like environment, pre-tested, and then transported for on-site assembly in as little as 20 weeks. Compressing time-scales, lowering budget risks and providing high facility performance.
Proven in a number of harsh environments, FrontierDC's Australian solution can be deployed virtually anywhere on demand.
Compared to a traditional data centre, the PFM approach can dramatically reduce capital and operational expenditures through the initial years – operators pay as their business grows instead of risking significant investments years ahead of actual demand.
Modular data centres can achieve savings up to 70% for initial committed capital and then further capital is aligned with customer demand. Total CAPEX savings can be in the order of 30%.
Why choose granular modular data centre technology?
FrontierDC's choice of technology partner Cannon Tech have gone several steps further than other Modular providers designing a totally flexible solution at a granular level providing expandable data halls and a future proofed fully upgradable interior whilst staying live. Built with less capex and a small footprint, they are expandable on demand and completely aligned with customer's needs.
Combining high degrees of design flexibility to accommodate operator's needs with an industrialised approach to precision manufacturing granular modular data centre technology drives costs down. We can create highly customised data centres using mass produced components.
Facilities can be sized to allow operators to closely track actual capacity needs. The use of granular modular data centre can minimize business risk, lower capital costs, and help with managing cash-flow.
What is the value of modular?
The primary value for a commercial operator is that a modular data centre site can be much more dynamic to meet what is actually required by tenants, and when it is required. Rather than locking the data centre design and technologies down based on assumptions and long-term forecasts, operators can build facilities that are tailored to the specifications given by the incoming tenant.
The compound effect is the ability to closely track actual uptake in IT capacity, and align spending (both CAPEX and OPEX) with revenues. Compared to a traditional upfront commitment, this approach can dramatically reduce capital and operational expenditures through the initial years – operators can pay as their business grows instead of risking significant investments years ahead of actual demand.
Where can modular be used?
Offering operators many options to cover almost any deployment types and use modular is relevant for all data centre use, whether a new site or capacity addition; from mini-modular products through containers to large-scale deployments with thousands of racks at virtually any densities and resiliency levels.
Operators can also choose what cooling mode they prefer, given the location of the site and the climate.
Why choose modular now?
Manufacturing v Construction – What is the difference?
Constructed Data Centres – "Past"
Traditionally, clients who require the capability of a robust, reliable facility without the capital outlay of building their own data centre have relied on independent organisations to finance and construct a facility.
By sharing or distributing the cost of the build between many clients, these organisations can achieve economies of scale and profit from leading out small sections of the facility.
The implications of this scenario are:
- – No control over the shared environment
- – Limited software interaction with environment and equipment
- – Client is locked into technology decisions
- – Requirement for the organisation to pre-predict how technology – and your business needs – will evolve over the lifetime of the data centre
- – Expensive and inflexible
- – Share risks/outages
- – No commitment to service improvement programs (due to equity of service for all clients)
- – Fixed long term expenditure that only increases over time
Modular Data Centres – "Recent Past"
Commonly following the designs of traditional data centres and pushed into a rigid structure, the original modular paradigm saw little customised solutions created from the ground up for a tailored business purpose. While each individual data centre is fit for purpose and budget, consistent reliability can be an issue as the solution is different for each build.
Economies of scale are only achieved using common 'off the shelf' components, with little production line cost efficiency.
The implications of this scenario are:
- – The solution is generally built for a specific reason – this may or may not be flexible enough to evolve with the client's needs over time
- – Expensive outlay for a completely customised solution
- – Pre-prediction of a client's business needs – and the evolution of technology – is required upfront to ensure the data centre can grow as the business needs change
Manufactured Modular Data Centres – "Present and Future"
Robust, reliable and cost-efficient facilities are delivered though consistent and regular components producing the same outcome every time.
Economies of scale are achieved through the production line of a consistent and regular solution at a modular level, with the ability to customise the data centre at any point.
Benefits of this scenario:
- – As technology evolves and manufacturing costs reduce, so does the client expenditure over time.
- – Clients can change to technologies that best deliver the outcomes that meet their own business needs.
- – Client systems have no interdependency with other organisations.
- – Services can be easily enhanced or costs easily controlled depending on business objectives.
- – Commitment to service improvement programs delivers evolving services to benefit clients.

The list of items contained in our diaper bag for air travel, annotated with how essential each item was based on our experience as follows:
*** Must have
** Nice to have
* Not needed
For travel gear that may not fit in your diaper bag, please visit this page.
- Portable changing pad (***)
This is definitely essential for both in the airports as well as on the airplane. We like our JJ Cole Collections Changing Clutch.
- Diaper (***)
Double the amount you will usually need for the duration of the travel just to be on the safe side (e.g. in case of flight delay). We stuck in the Los Angels airport for an extra 4 hours on our way back and used up all the diapers that we thought we would not need.
- Baby wipe (**)
- Formula (***)
Liquid formula is most handy. For powder, we package it into small containers in advance for the ease of dispensation. Again, double the amount you will usually need for the duration of the travel just in case.
- Thermal food jar (**)
We put warm food in the jar for each long flights, as we were not sure what kind of food Delta would provide. It turned out to be a good thing to do that Delta does not provide any food at all for on-lap infants (at least for the main cabin). But it does take up some space.
- Baby snack (***)
It will help to make your baby enjoy the trip more. Bring variety of snacks that your baby enjoys. Boyan likes puff, teething cookies and freeze dried fruit. We only bought enough for the trip from US to Japan, and bought additional supply in Japan for the return trip.
- Baby bottle (***)
- Baby drinking cup (***)
- Water bottle (**)
Bib (***)
- Changing cloth for you and the baby (***)
Wet/Dry bag (*)
- Swaddle blanket (***)
- Baby books and toy (***)
New books and toys are must-have to keep the baby entertained on the road. What to bring really depends on the kid, but try to avoid anything making noise if you can. We got a collection of Baby Lit books (https://babylit.com/collections/books/Classic-Lit) for Boyan and he loves them.
We also brought a few small empty cardboard and metal containers and put small toys inside. Boyan enjoyed opening up to find the treasures and then closing the boxes to hide them. They kept him entertained for at least 15 minutes each time.

The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) has announced of the 300 entries, 66 artists have been selected to be part of the country's most prestigious national Indigenous art awards, the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.
You can view the catalogue here.
This year the Awards include two new categories – the Telstra Multimedia Award and the Telstra Emerging Artist Award.
"The Telstra Multimedia Award allows multi-disciplinary artists the opportunity to enter innovative and exciting works that recognise methods of art including photography, graphic design, film, audio tape and other digital content. The Telstra Emerging Artist Award (evolved from the Telstra Youth Award) provides a tangible avenue for artists of all ages who are in the first few years of their practice to gain exposure on a national stage and launch their career."
Luke Scholes, MAGNT Curator of Aboriginal Art, said this year's Awards celebrate the poignant narratives that represent Australia's unique Indigenous voices.
"Presiding over this year's Awards, the Telstra NATSIAA judging panel welcomes curator, Emily McDaniel; Director, Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art, Chris Saines; and artist, Regina Wilson. Emily McDaniel is an independent curator, writer, and educator from the Kalari Clan of the Wiradjuri nation in central New South Wales; Chris Saines has over 30 years' experience working in leading public art institutions across Australia and New Zealand; and Regina Wilson, winner of the Telstra NATSIAA General Painting Award in 2003, whose creative practice spans more than 50 years."
Telstra has sponsored NATSIAA for 26 years. Telstra CEO Andrew Penn said: "Telstra's connection with the NATSIAAs has broadened and deepened over the years, to the point where they have become part of our identity and a source of great organisational pride. At the heart of our support is the idea of connection – to country, to community and to culture – that runs through so much Indigenous art and, more broadly, so much of the work Telstra does.
Collectively the winners this year will receive $80,000 to assist in their career development.
The seven winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony and exhibition opening at MAGNT on Friday evening, 11 August 2017

Early Science Exhibition
The collection of scientific instruments displayed throughout New College Village are on loan from The University of NSW and members of the family of Professor Christopher John (Kit) Milner. Many of the historic scientific instruments were housed in a building that stood on this site prior to the construction of the New College Village.
The purpose of the exhibit is to:
- Honour science and the contributions of scientists to the development of The University of New South Wales.
- Acknowledge the importance of the University's early (and continuing) connection with industry and the importance of research that leads to real world applications.
- Specifically honour Professor CJ Milner, one of the pioneers of Science and Technology at this University, whose unique contribution was foundational to much that is distinctive about scientific research at UNSW. The display would not have been possible without the support of Professor Milner's family, the University and the 'Museum Without Walls'.

Haunani-Kay Trask
Hawaiian sovereignty advocate and Professor of Hawaiian Studies with the Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu
Trask has represented Native Hawaiians in the United Nations and various other global forums. She is the author of several books of poetry and nonfiction, an activist and outspoken advocate for the Hawaiian sovereignty movement (ke ea Hawaii), which consists of organizations and individuals seeking some form of sovereignty for Hawaii.
In this interview she speaks of the ailing economy in the Hawaiian Islands and the negative effects of Hawaiis tourism industry on the welfare of the Hawaiian people. She refers to the huge United States military presence in Hawaii and its devastating effects on self-determination and self-governance for people of whole or part native Hawaiian ancestry in their homeland. Hawaii is not surprisingly experiencing the effects of the economic collapse of the US and the wider world. Trask thinks its very sad that rather than planting food in these sunny, fertile islands with a year round growing season, too many local people are focused on getting more tourists to come to Hawaii. She brings attention to the fact that more native Hawaiians now live outside of Hawaii, mostly on the US mainland, while sadly the population of the Hawaii includes more and more non-Hawaiians, many of whom are so rich that they build huge houses there where they spend only a few weeks a year. Trask vividly draws a picture of the economic, cultural and spiritual elements behind her opposition to the tourism industry and briskly states how non-native listeners can best be a positive element for change by not visiting or residing in Hawaii.

2. To dry someone or something with a towel: I toweled off my wet feet before putting my socks on. We hosed the car down and toweled it off.
crying towel
n. someone or something used to comfort someone. It's so sad. I guess I really need a crying towel today.

tv. to quit; to give up. (From boxing, where a towel or sponge thrown into the ring indicates that a boxer has given up.) The candidate who was exposed by the press as a former pickpocket tossed in the sponge in a tearful press conference. I'm done! I'm tossing in the sponge!

throw in the sponge/towel, to
To acknowledge defeat; to give up. J. C. Hotten's Slang Dictionary of 1860 explained that this term comes from prizefighting, where throwing up the sponge used to clean the contender's face was a signal that the "mill," or round, was concluded. However, Hotten got it wrong; the sponge (or later, towel) more often was thrown up as a signal of defeat, and it is in this sense that the expression was transferred to other enterprises. "If ever you are tempted to say . . . 'I am beaten and I throw up the sponge,' remember Paul's wise exhortation," wrote Alexander Maclaren (Philippians, 1909). Later up was changed to in, at least in North America.
throw in the towel
To quit. A prizefighter's sidemen use sponges to clean his face of sweat and blood. To toss the sponge into the ring during a fight signaled that the boxer had had enough—and so the sponge was no longer needed. In recent years, towels have been substituted for sponges in boxing matches, and consequently, in the expression too.

7 years ago, during our first trip to Lamu, Kenya, we met Lola Serra and Merche Cascajero.
We were following the project they had recently launched: AFRIKABLE.
It gathered a group of 10 women of different ethnicities and religions, with their children, who had important needs for subsistence. With Lola and Merche at the front, running on no more than their enthusiasm and total dedication.
At Free Design Bank, we feel hooked to this group of brave women from the beginning.
We wanted to provide our help and collaboration, from designing, by seeking methods and resources both in the design of products with improved commercialisation, always fair trade, and in the training and funding.
After these 7 years, the group has grown; more than 40 women and 100 children now live off the project. New facilities that have improved their life and work quality have been built.
Afrikable is more than an NGO. It's a life project, which we fully share at Free Design Bank.
Today, you can feel the strength every single woman of the project transmits in every thank-you hug, in every word in Swahili, that don't need translation because they strike deep in your heart.
During this last trip, we were very touched; we felt part of this beautiful project, in which, on a human level, we always receive more than we give.
Thanks Lola, thanks Merche.

Once we saw the opportunity to set up this project together with Afrikable we did not hesitate. Almost in unison Amparo Balbastre, Carmen Gujarro and I thought that this was another one of those challenges Free Design Bank had to face. We talked to Merche Cascajero and Lola Serra and we all saw it clear, we would end the circle of needs; we would build the crafts workshop building that Afrikable had always needed, we would get new sewing machines and create a new collection of more attractive products, commercial products adjusted to the new technical possibilities of craftswomen.
The Free Design Bank team set off and many volunteer designers responded to our call, they were organised in three groups; one group would be in charge of design proposals that reused the plastic of all the water jugs consumed in Lamu, another group would propose exclusive sandal designs for the Maasai women group, the last group would work on proposals with Kanga and Kikoy fabrics. I assumed the leadership of the groups and projects, while Carmen was responsible for the management of the project and for refining the designs proposed by the volunteers; Amparo took care of the groups' coordination and of creating or improving the prototypes' patterns.
Four months later, after many hours of work from both volunteer designers and the Free Design Bank leaders, the collection was ready to be produced by Afrikable's groups of women… But, in which building? Truthfully, Merche and Lola moved quickly, on our arrival to Lamu we were surprised to see that the new sewing machines were set up and running, and above all that…The new workshop building was almost finished!!.
At Afrikable's headquarters in Lamu we have spent three unforgettable weeks setting up the project, selecting the designs and assembling the machines, while Amparo trained the women on the use of the new industrial electric sewing machines. Those three weeks of close relations with the women of the project and their concerns have filled us with excitement, knowledge and strength to keep collaborating with Afrikable from the social design fundamentals that Free Design Bank represents for many years to come.
Author: Manolo Bañó, Manager of the FREE DESIGN BANK Social Design Project | Translator: Sonia Moscardó
I've been collaborating with them since I found out about the NGO when I was at university thanks to a Free Design Bank collaborative project between designers and different organizations from developing countries. Later I had the chance to spend some time in Lamu as a designer, living day to day and developing products hand-in-hand with them. The experience was a blast, it has been with me ever since and keeps me tied to them.
They, every single woman who works for Afrikable and makes it possible, are a lesson of strength, and their example has forced me to always put myself in their place and set the record straight.
Afrikable has been showing us that obstacles are surmountable and there is no adversity impossible to overcome. It is a family that continues to grow and as a growing entity it needs resources that will develop with it. To present this project on their behalf is to give them a little push to help them achieve their goals. The fact that my company gave me the opportunity to improve their working conditions means finding a common ground between my context and theirs.
What motivates me the most is knowing that they get to keep all of this, the workshop, the tools, the training courses. The soul of all of this is to provide them with the mechanisms to continue to work.
I hope this is just the beginning, that they are continuously trained in these spaces, that more women join them so that it requires building one, three or five more floors. I hope that they keep growing, proud and brave, showing their integrity and energy.
They defeated the hard reality, but luckily for all, the future is theirs.
Author: Carmen Guijarro | Translator: Sonia Moscardó
I still remember that day at the library when Carmen Guijarro called us to tell us the news... It has been granted!!!... We did it!!!... Finally the women's workshop would be a reality!!!
My cries of joy still echo in the library's walls (and they're probably still ringing in Carmen's ears) but it could not be otherwise, something Merche and I had been fighting for from the beginning, for more than 7 years, had become a reality.
We would be able to offer the women of the project a decent work place, professional machines to improve the production, proper storage space, a library of materials to store patterns and prototypes, design training workshops, increased production and many other essentials to be able to improve the working conditions of the project's female workers, and the production, thus being able to reach more people through Fair Trade, then again having an impact on the improvement of the quality of life of many Kenyan women.
Carmen Works in a multinational fashion company as a designer and is a volunteer at Free Design Bank, a non-profit platform of the CEU University of Valencia made up of design students and designers, which collaborates with Afrikable since our inception. Carmen came to Afrikable for the first time in 2013 as a volunteer to help improve textile production.
She saw with her own eyes the problems workers faced daily: lack of space, lack of a proper storage place, a rented house where water would come in every time it rained and everything would get wet (the women, the products, the material, the children...). When it didn't rain but it was windy, everything went flying out the window (the fabrics, the patterns, the threads…); in short, it wasn't the right space. It wasn't our first house, before that we had rented another house where the school, the dining hall, the kitchen and the workshops were on the same floor and interconnected. It was a very dark house, full of mosquitoes, and very small, which for the first months served to launch the project, but it wasn't ready to take on the growth we have experienced during these years.
In 2014, with great effort, we were able to buy a land on instalments where we could grow by building appropriate spaces for all. There our dreams came true step by step: the children's school and dining hall, the Volunteer Holidays programme' facilities, and even the Maternity, but the biggest dream resisted. In the new facilities women worked wherever they could: inside the bedrooms when the Volunteer Holidays programme was closed, in the classrooms during school holidays, moving yet again when the Maternity building got the ceiling done... and under the trees when all the buildings were busy.
Many companies provide subsidies to the projects their employees submit through their Corporate Social Responsibility departments, which sometimes are voted and/or selected by their workers. And that was Carmen's case when she presented the "COOPERATION THROUGH DESIGN FOR THE CONSOLIDATION, CAPACITATION, AND TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE CRAFTSWOMEN GROUPS OF AFRIKABLE NGOD IN THE LAMU DISTRICT (KENYA)" project to her company.
The project also counts on the collaboration of Free Design Bank, in the hands of Manuel Bañó and Amparo Balbastre, who collaborate with Afrikable's craftswomen by supporting them in their training in design and the creation of new products that will be manufactured in the new workshop. Free Design Bank provides the professionals, training materials, and designs necessary for the achievement of a professional commercial collection.
We want to thanks to Carmen, Manolo and Amparo for trusting Afrikable and for making this dream come true. Click on each of their names in order to learn about their emotional testimonies as the major force behind the project.
Asante Sana!

NEW YORK – The Heat mailbag is filling up so it's time to start emptying it out.
If you were not able to ask a question this time, send your questions for future mailbags via Twitter to @tomdangelo44 and @Anthony_Chiang. You can also e-mail me at tdangelo@pbpostcom.
From Chris, Palm Beach Gardens: Where does McGruder fit in when he returns?
Although Erik Spoelstra said Wednesday he has no update, Rodney McGruder is getting close. He has been doing court work for several weeks, including shooting, as he recovers from surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left leg.
The 6-foot-5 McGruder is beloved by his team and organization after he came out of nowhere a year ago to start 65 games as a rookie. Spoelstra will find a role for him when he returns and that even could be putting him back in as a starter. With Dion Waiters done for the season, Spoelstra has to decide if he wants Tyler Johnson (when he returns from his left ankle injury) to be the permanent starter at shooting guard. Spoelstra may prefer bringing Tyler off the bench in which case he could start McGruder at a wing along with Josh Richardson.
Either way, McGruder will help this team going down the stretch as another defender and 3-point shooter.
From @Senor_Beto: Will the heat be active at the deadline?
The Heat are always active. Pat Riley and Andy Elisburg never stop looking for ways to improve the team. But will anything come of it? That's the bigger question.
Right now, it is shaping up to be a relatively quiet trade deadline period. Not much is being rumored on the Heat front or anywhere else – other than the Cavs being desperate for defensive help and players like the Bulls' Nikola Mirotic on the market. The Heat are in a precarious situation considering their latest run that has them in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Heat believe they can make some kind of a run in the postseason and the organization will not do anything that hurts this year's team. If there is a deal that helps both short and long term, then Miami will listen. But right now, not much is out there. What we could see is something minor that could help shore up a weakness this season.

Understood; that's only fair from the company's perspective. I look forward to the IXEG 737 v1.1; it's landing soon. Great job on the recent flurry of updates, to everyone here at X-Aviation.
Completely fair enough; that was my first question, if needing to renew a license was more effective at combating piracy than a one-time activation. You mean SaaS, or software as a service? I have my doubts about the subscription model, given that I'd rather pay once, and use the software forever—it is mine to do as I see fit, instead of being tied down to a subscription that may stop any time I have less money than needed in the bank (quite a common case for university students). But then again, that is my opinion, and obviously, given the popularity of Adobe CC/Office 365 etc, my views don't exactly reflect those of the majority.
I don't see how that is relevant, but... OK, if you say so.
My point exactly, that the X-Plane way, of having to 're-activate' an already-activated license is more troublesome than doing it the Microsoft way: activate once, then it's forever activated. No 'two week' timeouts whatsoever. I'm curious—is there a reason why the activations aren't done this way? Or does the Gizmo activation somehow tie in with the fact that the X-Plane copy it is running on is a valid license or not?
Why not do it like Microsoft/Steam/other software licenses, instead of the (rather more troublesome) X-Plane way? Phone home the first time only, activate the product, and that's it? Or would that be such a significant regression in piracy control that it is not done? I mean, the recent changes to how the X-Aviation store works are extremely welcome, but this still feels a little... dated, having to re-activate every time the license 'expires'.
Gizmo crashes after passing final point while still in the air

Gizmo crashes after passing final point while still in the air
SRSR333 posted a topic in Gizmo Soft CrashesHello IXEG, I was flying the Heathrow Overload event on VATSIM yesterday with the 733 and took the below route: VEBIT3W/28 VEBIT T51 LASUN UT10 RLP UL613 DIDOR UT10 ALESO BIG3B I didn't program in the final BIG3B STAR as I knew it was out of date, and waited for LON_CTR to give me an approach instead, and I was given the BIG4B arrival. I descended through the arrival and passed the BIG VOR, and immediately, Gizmo crashed with red text appearing in the log. For some reason, though, it didn't really appear to affect my flight as I could subsequently program the runway 27L ILS approach and land successfully. However, I believe this error is worth looking at. Attached are my logs. GizmoLog.txt Log.txt
FMC button press animations
SRSR333 replied to SRSR333's topic in Feature SuggestionsAs long as it's on the list, that's good! I can hope to see this someday, then, even if it's not so soon One more question, though, also relevant to the FMC: when inputting a route by hand on the B777 FMC (at least, the one by Flightfactor), we need only insert the VIA airways on the left and the FMC automatically calculates the intersection fix and adds it into the TO field. This makes adding flight plans by hand fairly fast, even for relatively long ones. On the IXEG 733, however, we need to manually insert both VIA and TO airways and way-points respectively, which is quite time consuming. I haven't flown the B733 in real life (nor any other plane, for that matter... ), so I'm assuming the simulated behaviour is the real thing. Despite this... is it possible to include the Triple Seven™ behaviour to the 733? I frequently fly plans that reach the very edge of the 733's range which can turn out to be quite long, and Simbrief doesn't have a way to export generated flight plans to the IXEG required formatting, so I find that entering plans by hand is simpler. But it still takes a significant amount of time.
FMC button press animations
SRSR333 posted a topic in Feature SuggestionsHello everyone. The IXEG is as always, a great plane to fly (notwithstanding bugs that crop up occasionally), but there's one niggling issue that could greatly help those who wish to record their flights without the cursor—the FMC buttons, when clicked on, could be animated to depress instead of them being fixed in place as they currently are, so that viewers of the recorded video can see which keys are being pressed. Understandably each FMC has some sixty to seventy-odd buttons, so animating all of them would be quite tedious; but I hope this is considered for a future update (perhaps not 1.1, since I suppose that is nearing completion, but maybe 1.2 or so?) Thanks much, and keep developing, guys.
X-Plane GPU usage plummets when action is not confirmed
SRSR333 replied to SRSR333's topic in Bug ReportsThanks for that! However, genuine question: what does Windows Defender have to do with GPU usage and the FMC? How was the fix narrowed down to this?
X-Plane GPU usage plummets when action is not confirmed
SRSR333 posted a topic in Bug ReportsHi guys, I was making a flight from LFMN (Nice Cote d'Azur) to LOWI (Innsbruck), and I took off, relatively smoothly and attained cruise. When I wanted to change my mach number, I entered digits (.600) into the scratchpad, and the EXEC key was illuminated. Then I noticed X-Plane was stuttering like crazy. The framerate dipped to the single digits, then quickly climbed back to 40+, dipped again, climbed again, so and so. When I went to check the GPU usage in GPU-Z, the usage also correspondingly dropped to zero percent. So what was a continuous red bar at 100% was now resembling a bar code, with red lines indicating wildly fluctuating usage. I'm not sure if the GPU usage dropped because the FMC made X-Plane lag, or the FMC lagged because the GPU usage went down. Either way, it is quite clear that once I confirm my action (press the EXEC key), the usage returns to normal. Is this a known issue to be fixed in V1.1?
Gizmo soft-crashes on v1.0.6 upon engaging LNAV
SRSR333 posted a topic in Gizmo Soft CrashesHi IXEG, A short while ago I was (as of this writing, am still on) a flight in VATSIM, climbing out of EGKK, when I engaged LNAV, then the 'A' autopilot, and Gizmo crashed. LNAV was completely inoperative after that, but VNAV worked fine, oddly enough. I had just updated to v1.0.6. Attached is the current GizmoLog.txt; I attemped to fix the FMC by rebooting Gizmo several times to no avail. This error message especially caught my eye: error: 10877.192: Callback_Dref_Hooked_setDataf: cdu1_lsk_1R_OnWrite: [string "ixeg.733.fmc.route.lua.aes"]:2158: attempt to index a nil value Hope this is fixed soon. GizmoLog.txt EDIT: I just noticed several other topics mentioning this very issue, and that the developer would issue an 'emergency patch' shortly - please ignore this additional bug report.

Error in 3D mesh - light peeking through to cockpit
SRSR333 posted a topic in Bug ReportsHi IXEG, I was about to fly the 733 from Zurich when it was lit up in VATSIM, and I wanted to set up my frequencies, when I noticed this occur on the forward pedestal: There's a thin line of sunlight from the outside peeking in, beginning at the EXP VOR/ILS label, going just beyond the NAV1 display, turning a right angle to the right, and going into the CARGO DETECTION SUPPRESSION panel. This gives me a feeling that there's an error with the 3D mesh of the aircraft - or is this behaviour normal? For further information, I was at gate E 19 at LSZH, at approximately 1321 Z time, facing heading 280.
IXEG 737 Classic v1.0.6 Has Been Released!
SRSR333 replied to Cameron's topic in General DiscussionI'm really, really sorry, but this comes across as incredibly rude to a customer who has asked a valid question. I wasn't debating - I asked a question, and it was brushed aside with your response - quite literally, you just said: 'we know more than you, so shut up and use what you bought.' I've enjoyed the product so far, given it raving reviews on several other forums, and when I come here with a single question - it's deleted/locked without an explanation given, or rudely shot down like this. Why not elaborate on why we need hard-coded directories for the plane to work? In fact, I'm genuinely curious as to why this requirement is so singular to the 737, as well as the technicalities behind it. Honestly.

Internship Interview Tips
Once you've decided to undertake an internship and submitted your application to Intern Options, you will no doubt start receiving interview offers. Almost all of us will be interviewed for a position at some stage and this can seem very scary and nerve racking.
An interview for an internship is quite different to an interview for a regular job as it is all about your expectations. The company would like to know what you want to achieve from the internship and what your requirements are.
Here are some tips for you to have a successful interview for an internship;
- Read through the company's website and any articles or material you can find.
- Explain what you are looking to gain from the internship.
- Ask what type of experience and training they are able to offer.
- Explain why you think your learning objectives can be achieved at the company
- Speak clearly and be confident.
- The company will have viewed your CV & Cover letter before the interview so would be aware that English may not be your first language.
- Call or skype at the arranged time. Not earlier and not later.
- Call from a quiet room with no distractions.
- Prepare some questions for the company about their history, operations or processes.
- Write them an email afterwards to thank them for the opportunity.

Paint chip boxes...YES. Put some presents inside and consider your wrapping all wrapped up.
|How About Orange
This one is pretty intense- if I was going to try something on this scale, I'd maybe order some rather than just snagging them at your local home improvement store (though, in my experience, the employees come out and help you collect colors when you're gathering cards).
|Original Unknown
What a great idea for coasters! I'd want to do way brighter colors than these, but the idea is fantastic and her instructions are perfection.
|The Crafty CPA
This one is the closest to what I did myself...I love her original take on the paint chip wall art we've seen so much of- the shapes make it so fun!
|Two Girls Being Crafty
Thought this idea was adorable for some holiday decorating. Couldn't be easier too!
|Modern Parents
Of course I've incorporated my own version of this lovely idea into my own home- in my opinion, you just can't beat the price and the vibrancy! Check back tomorrow for an easy DIY wall-art project using paint chips by yours truly :)

Important Note: If you plan/need to log in with OAuth options, you will need to ensure that you are syncing from a browser that has the correct OAuth credentials for the new account and not somebody else's credentials. Failure to do so will result in the connection of the new account to another user's information. As a result, when you try to log in in the future, you will be logged in to another user's account.
Also note that at the end of each school year, it is important that coaches delete the courses from that year so that the integration will work for the following year (having courses or sections with the same name or IDs can prevent the integration from working properly in the future). It is also helpful for teachers to remove students they will no longer be teaching from their rosters to prevent overload or complications with students adding other teachers.
Finally, it is possible to make any changes that you could make with any other Khan Academy account once they have been set up through Clever. If you're having trouble, please begin by contacting Clever's help center here.
Follow these steps in order to successfully integrate your Khan Academy with Clever:
- Have your Clever administrator upload student data into Clever at https://schools.clever.com/settings/system/upload. Note that currently Khan Academy does not support administrator accounts, but this data will create or connect to teacher and student accounts.
- Based on enrollments.csv, teachers.csv, and students.csv, when you first log into Khan Academy, students' data will automatically be added to your class. If new students are added to your class, your Clever administrator will have to update students.csv before your new student will be able to log in with Clever. Have your teacher use Clever to log into Khan Academy through the Clever portal.
- When you log in, you will arrive on your Khan Academy Coach Dashboard where you can see the classes automatically generated from the data inputted in Step 1. Before students log into Khan Academy, all students will be displayed as 'Clever Student'. The displayed 'Clever Student' will change to the user's username once they log in.
- Now, have your students log into Khan Academy through the Clever Portal.
- If your student is younger than 13 in Clever's system, your student will have to input their parent's email. Make sure they have their parent's correct email entered.
- After your students log in and have their Clever account integrate with an existing Khan account, or create a new one, their displayed names will change on the dashboard.
- Your students by default will be assigned a user nickname similar to "John508" (student's first name or the first letter of the first name plus random numbers). If your student is younger than 13, their parent will have to create their own parent account to change the student's username by following the link in the received email from Step 5. If the student is older than 13, they can change their username in their settings.
- Regardless, teachers can change their students' display names in their roster.
What if I don't see a student in the correct class?
If you do not a see a student in your class after they have signed up for an account, please check your All Students tab for your student and add your student to the correct class from there.
- If your student is not listed on your All Students tab, please have them enter your Class Code (see picture above) on the Coaches tab on their profile. This code can also be found on the class page in the top-right corner.
- If your student is unable to enter your class code, have the parent create their own account by following the link in the email they received from Step 5. Then the parent should navigate to their children's settings and set "Can add other coaches" to ON then the student will be able to enter your class code. If the parent does not do this, the student will NOT be able to be added to your class.
Additional Notes
- Users cannot add an email to a child account (age under 13) created with Clever. The student must log in with Clever to log into Khan Academy. If the student loses access to their Khan Academy or Clever account, their parent can reset their password for them. If they are still having trouble, the parent can file a support ticket here requesting additional assistance.
- Teachers - please go to our Khan Academy Help Center to learn how to customize your classes and assign exercises to your students.
- If you have questions on how to use the Clever system please write in here. When contacting Khan Academy support, please provide the email, username, or kaid associated with the account(s) in question; we are NOT able to identify accounts using Clever IDs or student or teacher numbers.
If you have any issues, refer to Clever's Help Center for more information. There is no need to create a new Khan Academy account to use with Clever. It can be integrated with pre-existing accounts.
You can find other ways to create student accounts here, and can contact Khan Academy support here.

Contrary to what the movies may show, and what some may believe, most SAHP's (Stay At Home Parent) don't lie around in their PJ's all day eating junk food. Being a SAHP is work. Often times it's HARD work. Here's 10 ways it's just like any other job.
Coworkers: In this case, your kids. The people you spend 8+ hours a day with, in most cases you see them more than anyone else you know.
Diapers: Whether you are wiping ass or kissing ass, it's probably your least favorite part of the day.
Clean up: The never-ending cycle of fixing, re-doing, or re-starting every project your aforementioned coworkers screw up.
Lunchtime: An excuse to drink a beer in the middle of the day.
Nap time: The SAH version of a Sick Day. Which always flies by like you're in a time warp.
Play dates: The SAH version of the water cooler. This is where all the latest drama or news is exchanged with pretty much anyone who will listen to you complain about your coworkers.
Drama: If you think the office bitch is a drama queen, try spending an entire day home alone with a toddler.
Quitting time: The last hour of the day before your SO get's home slows down to turtle speed and seems to last FOREVER.
Mediation: Only in this case, you are the mediator and the 2nd party. No middle man to help calmly solve the problem, so you usually end up giving in and your LO gets whatever toy or treat they threw a fit over to begin with. Sometimes it's just not worth the fight.
Overtime: Being a SAHP means you don't get to leave work or stop working after an 8 hour day. Only you don't get paid time-and-a-half.
So next time you start judging a SAHP, think about it first. Is your job really harder than theirs?

Harris issues challenge to Millwall to repeat show at Barnsley
MILLWALL boss Neil Harris has challenged his players to repeat the performance they gave in the 4-0 win over Southend on Monday in their next league game, at Barnsley next Saturday.
The Lions responded in perfect fashion to the 1-0 setback at The Den against Walsall last weekend to stop a run of three successive league defeats.
Harris saw his side produce arguably their most emphatic performance of the season at Roots Hall, all the more impressive considering the Blues were on an eight-game unbeaten run in the league and Millwall had won just once in December – against the same opposition in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy three weeks ago.
There were a number of eye-catching displays on the Millwall side as goals from full-backs Joe Martin and Shaun Cummings and attackers Fred Onyedinma and Aiden O'Brien lifted their side briefly into eighth place in Sky Bet League One before the later kick-offs.
And Harris was eager to share the praise around the team.
"I thought everybody was outstanding on the football pitch (Monday)," he said. "Everybody was outstanding and performed really well. We completely dominated from the first whistle to the last and the moments when they did get opportunities in and around the box through good play we stood strong.
"I thought the whole back four performed outstandingly well. Our shape was excellent, as it was on Saturday against Walsall for the majority of it.
"To come off the back of a defeat at home and come here two days later and put in that performance is a credit to the group. That's the standard, that's the demand, that's my standards.
"And I just said to them there's no point doing that now and not doing it at Barnsley. They've got to achieve that again."
Harris lives in Southend with his family, but, as he did after the JPT win, he stressed this latest success in his hometown was an important squad statement rather than a personal one.
"It's nice having so many friends and family at the game," he admitted. "But as I said all along it's not about me coming back here – it's about my team and how they perform.
"We played against a really good Southend team on a roll with a little bit of momentum. And I thought from the moment we scored the first goal we completely dominated the game."
And he joked: "There are a few people who won't be happy but my kids can go to school with their heads held high!"

A report has been released outlining a series of recommendations to the panel of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction based on the submissions of rainbow[1] communities to the Out Loud Aotearoa project run by RainbowYOUTH and #wearebeneficiaries.
Out Loud Aotearoa is a project that uses art to share the stories and wishes of the rainbow communities to assist the Inquiry Panel in highlighting one of the most vulnerable populations in Aotearoa when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. The project was launched in May 2018 and collected 83 submissions from rainbow identifying individuals. These submissions were turned into pieces of art and compiled into a report outlining the common themes and a series of recommendations for the Inquiry Panel to consider.
"The breadth of the submissions we've received has been incredible," says Toni Duder (Co-Creator of Out Loud and Communications Manager & 2iC at RainbowYOUTH). "We've been gifted with such powerful stories and wishes from our community and have crafted a series of recommendations for the panel to consider which we hope addresses the themes raised. We haven't been able to address everything that needs to be addressed, rather, we were guided by the submissions we received and crafted the recommendations based on them".
The report, released today, specifies 12 themes found after the submissions were analysed. They as follows:
- Lack of Education and Support for Practitioners and Clinicians
- Systemic Underfunding
- Institutional Biases Against:
- Intersex, Trans and Gender Diverse Communities
- Indigenous/Māori Communities
- Migrant Communities
- Lack of Clear Pathways Into Services
- Lack of Appropriate Services and/or Long Wait Times
- Unaffordable Services
- Equating Identity with Illness
- Lack of Strengths-based and Holistic Approaches
- Gatekeeping and Inappropriate Crisis Responses
- Fallout From Dangerous Services Practices
- Having to Find Our Own Way
- When it Works
"We're hoping that this report will highlight the issues our communities face when trying to access support, and create a starting point for clinicians and organisations to change their practicem." says Sam Orchard. "We are losing too many lives."
Out Loud Aotearoa was run in collaboration between RainbowYOUTH and #wearebeneficiaries. It was supported through funding from Creative NZ, the Rule Foundation and donors as part of a 'Boosted' Campaign.

No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser Review
Sunday, 28 February 2016
For the last six months or so, I've been a huge fan of Benefit skincare. Since I started using it, I've finally got myself into a proper routine, which is something that I've always struggled with. Unfortunately, it isn't as kind to my bank balance. Now that I have to save for a deposit on a new place in September, and driving lessons (which I'm still too scared to book), I've been on the hunt for skincare that works just as well, and doesn't cost me quite as much!
I was scouring Boots one weekend and remembered that I had a voucher for No7 skincare buried in the bottom of my bag. For once, I decided to put it to good use and picked up the Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser. I've always loved foaming cleansers because they're so light on the skin so I was excited to give this one a go.
I was so impressed with this cleanser as soon as I first used it. It lathered up really nicely and a little bit goes a long way. My skin felt really refreshed after using it and it had an instant healthy glow.
AND a 150ml bottle cost £9.50, as opposed to Benefit's £17.50! Bonus!
I'll definitely be picking up this cleanser again, and I'm planning on adding more products from the No7 range to my collection, so keep an eye out for more reviews!
Have you tried No7 skincare? Or do you have another skincare brand that you think I should try? Feel free to pop any suggestions in the comments!

I've never tried No7 skincare and I don't know why because it's really reasonably priced and I've heard great things about it. This product looks fab, and I have awful skin so I'm always on the hunt for better skincare. I'm definitely going to pick this up next time I'm in Boots. Great review!ReplyDelete

Im really loving the NO7 Beautifully Matte Foundation but have never tried any of the skincare, this cleanser sounds lovely.ReplyDelete

I had a New Year's resolution that I actually remembered this year.
Most of them I forget, or push aside.
My resolution was to do better in keeping up with office paperwork. Not a fun task, but very necessary. I did pretty well actually. It was a process of making that task more of a priority than other things I might need or want to do.
I had to make a decision about what was important.
Sounds simple.
But there are many people who struggle with making decisions. They get intensely focused on the rightness or the wrongness of the choice, analyze it for hours, and then put themselves down for even feeling the need to go through such an arduous process.
"Why can't I simply make a decision?" "Why don't I trust myself more?" "Other people don't seem to have this problem. I don't get it. What's wrong with me?"
This is one of the symptoms of "Generalized Anxiety Disorder," a miserable emotional place to live in. You are filled with dread, worry, and a highly vigilant attitude toward preventing something horrible from happening. You can go on endless mental journeys of what will lead to what — all, versions of what else could possibly happen.
Your mind is on a rapid treadmill. It's exhausting, and you go nowhere. Or you make tiny steps toward goals, always looking over your shoulder, fearing that the worst is likely to happen.
Reid Wilson, in his fabulous work on anxiety, states that you have to accept the reality, or the importance of your worry, not be intent to get rid of it as quickly as possible. "You change the way you relate to your symptoms." Meaning your worry, or doubt.
Doubt is not a bad thing in and of itself. But you move toward it, not away from it.
Let's say you worry about your marriage. You go back and forth about what to do. You want to stay married, but you haven't been happy for years. You fight all the time. You don't want to hurt your children. You don't know how you would handle it spiritually. You have headaches and your stomach stays in knots. Your family would be disappointed. You might lose friends that would take your potential ex's side. Maybe you can't afford a divorce. Maybe you're depressed. Maybe you should go to therapy. Maybe therapy won't help, it's too late. Maybe you should focus on yourself, but that seems to cause more problems in the relationship. Maybe you should wait until the kids leave. Maybe it's all your fault, or their fault. Maybe it wasn't meant to last.
And on. And on. And on.
Everyone does this to a certain extent. Accepting that you do it at a more intense level, that your mind tends to go on overdrive, is an important step.
You have to find your courage to walk into the fire of your mind. And breathe.
Write these things down. Then think about how you would handle each one of them.
Acceptance that you might make a wrong decision, or a choice you later regret is key. We all make those kinds of choices. The belief seems to be that you couldn't cope with it.
But I bet you have in the past.
And you could again.
Years ago, I popped in a cassette in my car (I told you it was years ago…) to listen to a speech given at a major therapy conference. The speaker, who I admired greatly, opened his talk with these words. "What I have to say to you this morning does not come from my successes as a therapist, but from my failures."
He had my rapt attention from then on.
I learn, and have learned, more from what I did not get "right," than from what I have. Successes are great. Sure. But where you really stretch yourself, and learn? That's from what you struggle with, or what doesn't come easily.
[tweetthis hidden_hashtags="#fearoffailure #drmargaret"]You will never know today, what you will know tomorrow. [/tweetthis]
Ambiguity always exists. Focus on the present, listen rationally to your concern or doubt, and then make a choice.
Trust yourself. Enjoy what goes well.
Know that you can handle the things that don't.
Happy New Year to everyone!! SUBSCRIBE in the gray box and receive my posts weekly! You will also receive a free eBook, "Seven Commandments Of Good Therapy," a guide on how to choose an ethical and competent therapist.

Day 1 - 196 pounds - July 23, 2011
I finally did it! I finally got up the nerve to post a "Take 2" before picture. It is such a relief for me to finally do it and move on.
The post I wrote on discouragement and the comments I received really have helped me to move forward with my life and my weight loss journey. I can't even tell you how relieved I am to finally be able to get past the feeling of failure and move on.
I did a little redesigning on my blog. You will notice that I moved my old picture updates to the bottom and posted my "new journey" pictures on the top right. I still have some new ideas for my blog design but for now these are the changes that I needed to do in order to move forward.
When I weighed myself today I weighed in at 196 pounds. I plan do to the same picture updates as i have in the past. I will post a new picture in my sidebar with every 10 pounds that I lose. I remember in the past that this helped me to stay motivated to lose. I hope it will do the same for me this time.
I hope you all enjoy the changes on my blog and will follow me on my new weight loss journey!

This afternoon I suddenly realised that my extremities were covered in a red rash. I had had chicken pox as a child so I didn't think and certainly hoped it wasn't that. When I had fallen prey to chicken pox I was despatched to bed, given a bunch of grapes to eat, a jigsaw to play with and Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies to read. Having been struck down today with some unknown ailment, I posted a comment on a web page I am wont to peruse and was flooded with advice, including the laconic response that perhaps I had the plague. More pertinent advice included the suggestion that I might have had an allergic response to something I had eaten or else possibly rosea. I decided I needed to get to the chemist for some anti-histamine tablets as a matter of urgency as well as get in provisions for a siege. Nowadays all manner of groceries can be delivered to the front door, but I would still have to lug them up four flights of stairs and did not know whether I would have the energy to do so if my condition worsened.
As I stepped into the garden the OF was returning with his own shopping. He wanted to know who had ripped the garden gate from off its hinges. Gentle Reader it was me. I had ordered a Thai takeaway on Friday, the first such indulgence since last summer. Earlier in the day I was annoyed to see that the postman had left our mail on the rubbish bins. At first I thought someone in the house had simply dumped junk mail there. Then I realised some of the mail was for me. Full of righteous indignation I carried the mail indoors. Later in the evening, as I spied the delivery man on his motorbike I was puzzled as to why he didn't come straight into the garden but waited outside. Then my phone rang. The delivery man could not get through the gate. The violent winds and rains had meant the latch had been twisted onto the wrong side of the gate. I went downstairs to investigate. Through the gap I could see two other delivery men, destined for another flat. Unable to get the latch to twist back I forced the gate open and threw it onto the grass. I think the men were all rather impressed by my show of strength as the wooden gate was as tall as me and rather heavy (unlike me!). The OF said he had put the gate back on its hinges and began to lecture me about it until I crisply cut him short saying I had to dash to the shops. Actually he has something of a cheek to complain as he had been responsible for affixing the original latch to the gate and it had proved a nuisance from the start.
When I returned from collecting my Red Cross boxes of food and medical supplies I decided to water the garden. To my annoyance the OF had managed to trample on my flowers when he dumped the grass cuttings onto the compost heap and caused a small pumpkin to become detached from its plant, when he had roughly manhandled my trough in order to use the grass trimmer around it. Still, I suppose it could be worse. Last year he yanked up all my spring onions and threw them away, thinking they were weeds. He was oblivious to the fact that I had placed an illustrated label bearing the legend Spring Onions by them. A gardening tip for the novice: there are some perennial garden pests that can only be got rid of by burying six feet under.

For Immediate Release
http://www.w3.org/ — 20 September 2011 — W3C announced today a new standard for the exchange of "digital ink" on the Web. The Ink Markup Language (InkML) Recommendation can be used to store and exchange the output of an electronic pen or stylus as well as handwriting, gestures, sketches, music, and other notations.
"Pen input is a very natural way to use a device, whether for controlling the device, inputting information or communicating with other people," said Debbie Dahl, Chair of the Multimodal Interaction Working Group. "It's an especially compelling input mode for the variety of touchscreen-based devices that are currently entering the marketplace. But until now, pen input formats were largely proprietary, and so interoperability across devices and applications was limited. InkML changes this. It will be exciting to see how InkML enables new, interoperable and innovative applications based on handwriting, drawing, and symbols."
InkML is part of W3C's ongoing efforts to build One Web available from any device. A host of new applications are now possible thanks to this open standard, such as: pen-based text messaging; handwritten annotation of documents, photos, or other media; collaborative white boards; archiving of hand-written notes; and more efficient approaches to filling out forms.
Furthermore, when used in combination, pen and voice (and other input methods) can improve usability. For example, with combined pen and speech input, users can ask questions like "show me restaurants in this area" while drawing a circle on a map.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web. Over 325 organizations are Members of the Consortium. W3C is jointly run by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France and Keio University in Japan, and has additional Offices worldwide.
