Marmion was first published in 1808 when The Lay of the Last Minstrel had made Sir Walter Scott a household word throughout Scotland and Britain, as a whole. Only a few years later he had built Abbotsford, near Melrose ( 35 miles south of Edinburgh) and then he became a romance novelist. As a person he was very well-loved and all his work showed his passion for anything antiquarian- whether it was books, castles or artifacts. Chivalry, with its code of honor, was his religion. Today when one visits Abbotsford (with which he replaced the old Cartley Hall which was set on the banks of the Tweed ) all are treated to viewing his impressive collection of armor, weapons and over 9,000 rare volumes in his library !
from Marmion by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
Canto V
Lady Heron's Song
O, young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best,
And save his good broadsword, he weapons had none;
He rode all unarmed, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
He staid not for brake, and he stopped not for stone,
He swam the Eske river where ford there was none;
But, ere he alighted at Netherby gate,
The bride had consented, the gallant came late:
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war,
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.
So boldly he entered the Netherby Hall,
Among bride's-men, and kinsmen, and brothers, and all:
Then spoke the bride's father, his hand on his sword,
(for the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,)
"Oh come ye in peace here, or come ye in war,
or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?"
"I long wooed your daughter, my suit you denied;–
Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide,–
And now I am come, with this lost love of mine,
To lead but one measure, drink one cup of wine.
There are maidens in Scotland more lovely by far,
That would gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar."
The bride kissed the goblet; the knight took it up,
He quaffed off the wine, and he threw down the cup.
She looked down to blush, and she looked up to sigh,
With a smile on her lips, and a tear in her eye.
He took her soft hand, ere her mother could bar,–
"Now treat we a measure," said young Lochinvar.
So stately his form, and so lovely her face,
That never a hall such a galliard did grace;
While her mother did fret, and her father did fume,
And the bridegroom stood dangling his bonnet and plume;
And the bridemaidens whispered, "'Twere better by far
To have matched our fair cousin with young Lochinvar."
One touch to her hand, and one word in her ear,
When they reached the hall-door and the charger stood near;
So light to the croupe the fair lady he swung,
So light to the saddle before her he sprung!
"She is won! we are gone! over bank bush, and scaur; *
They'll have fleet steeds that follow," quoth young Lochinvar.
There was mounting 'mong Graemes of the Netherby clan;
Forsters, Fenwicks, and Musgraves, they rode and they ran:
There was racing and chasing on Cannobie Lee,
But the lost bride of Netherby ne'er did they see.
So daring in love, and so dauntless in war,
Have ye e'er heard of gallant like young Lochinvar?
* steep bank
Kisses aplenty from The Castle Lady !

Joey Alexander Trio – March 17, 2017
Born on the island of Bali in the city of Denpasar in 2003, Joey Alexander first encountered a piano at the age of six, and was immediately able to pick out the melody of Thelonious Monk's "Well, You Needn't" and other jazz standards from his father's record collection by ear. His father, an amateur musician, nurtured Joey's gift for swing and improvisation by introducing him to classic jazz recordings and taking him to jam sessions with seasoned musicians in Bali and Jakarta. From there, his musical intuition flourished, as did his love of playing jazz.
Learning by listening, Joey's early influences include Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans and John Coltrane, and he has a special affinity for trumpet players including Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis. Despite his lack of formal jazz training, Joey developed an authoritative technique, and with his depth of musicality he quickly rose in the Indonesian jazz scene and beyond.

Morgan James: Reckless Abandon Tour with special guest Andy Allo – April 10, 2017
"A phenomenal talent whose feel for classic soul music is bone deep…This woman is on fire."
— The New York Times
One voice is all it takes. The right vocalist can make you fall in love at first listen, elicit tears, or bring you back to a different era altogether. A microphone and a stage remain the only necessities. That holds true for New York-based soul singer, songwriter, and Broadway chanteuse Morgan James. On her full-length debut for Epic Records, "Hunter," she casts an unbreakable spell with a powerhouse voice, theatrical swing, and a soulful poise.
"Hunter" boasts powerful and personal renditions of Prince's "Call My Name" (reached Top 15 at Urban AC radio and #1 most added) along with Hall& Oates' "She's Gone" and Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark". Morgan assumed co-writing duties on eight of the collection's eleven tracks and even performed all of her own background vocals and harmonies. She is proud to note that no vocal tuning of any kind has been used on any of her albums. From the empowering farewell of "Fed Up On You" to the mournful rumination of "Say The Words", or the soulful duet with Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper, "Let Me Keep You", she continually bares it all—both emotionally and musically.
In addition to "Hunter", Morgan has released a live tribute to Nina Simone, "Morgan James Live", as well as an EP featuring some of her fans' favorite covers, "YouTube Sessions". (She can also be heard on countless theatre and concept soundtracks).
Since "Hunter's" release, Morgan's music videos have accumulated more than 45 million views (and climbing). With viral sensation Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, Morgan toured the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. She is currently touring with her band and in the midst of writing her next album!
Joining Morgan James for her show will be Cameroon-born singer and songwriter Andy Allo is an artist who is truly paving her own path with a sound and vibe that is uniquely hers.
Andy released her first album, UnFresh in 2009 and two years later, joined Prince's New Power Generation as a singer/guitarist and worked with the legend on her sophomore album, Superconductor. That album featured a funk/soul sound and made it to #4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. She has performed on Jimmy Kimmel, Guitar Center Sessions and showed her acoustic chops on Billboard Sessions Exclusive.
"We knew she'd be leading her own revolution soon," adds Prince. Indeed, that soon is now.

The many garden varieties of Hydrangea macrophylla make excellent pot plants which flower in spring. Plants are best raised annually from cuttings between March and May.
These are prepared from strong non-flowering shoots. Each should be 4 to 5 in. long and be cut cleanly just below a joint. The bottom pair of leaves should be removed and the base of the cutting dipped in hormone rooting powder. Insert them in equal parts of peat and sand and root them round the edge of a 3-1/2-in. pot. Place them in a propagating frame with a temperature of 16°C. (60°F.). or they can be enclosed in a polythene bag. Sealed with a rubber band. In this case, if the cuttings are well watered beforehand they will probably need no further attention until they have rooted in two to three weeks time.
The First Potting
The rooted cuttings should be potted individually in 3-in. pots of John Innes No. 1 Potting Compost. If blue rather than pink or red flowers are desired chalk or limestone should be omitted from the compost and a proprietary blueing compound used instead. Note, however, that white varieties cannot be made either blue or red.
The Second Potting
When the plants have filled their pots with roots move them into 5-in. pots using John Innes No. 2 Potting Compost, but again minus chalk or limestone for blue flowers.
When well established in 5-in. pots each plant should have its growing tip removed to make it branch. This should not be done after mid-July. Cuttings rooted later than mid-May should not be stopped as side growths would be made too late to flower well the next spring. Instead, let them grow on a single stem and produce one good-sized flower truss per plant.
Summer Treatment
After stopping, move the plants to a cold frame, keeping them well watered. Watch for greenfly, and if they appear spray with derris. Remove any leaves which turn yellow or show signs of decay.
From late September keep the lights on the frames at night and a month later return the plants to the greenhouse.
The Final Potting
Well-grown plants will require a further move in October into 7-in. pots using John Innes No. 2 Potting Compost with the variation already referred to.
By November the terminal buds, from which next spring's flowering shoots will be produced, should be well developed. It is vital that these should not be lost by cold or decay during the winter. Little water is needed now and just enough heat to maintain a temperature of 7°C. (45°F.). In January, if desired, growth can be speeded up by raising the temperature a little. A few weeks later clusters of flower buds will be seen and feeding should start with liquid or soluble fertiliser. Good plants should produce four to eight heads each.
It will be necessary to support the stems, and the stakes, which should come just below the flowers, should slope outwards to open up the plants.
When the flowers fade cut them off together with a little stem to keep the plants compact and encourage further branching. Carry out repotting now, using the same size or slightly larger pots, and a similar compost to the one used for the final potting. Place the plants out of doors for the summer in a sheltered position, or in a cold frame, plunging the pots in sand or peat.

Submarine Roles And Missions Essay, Research Paper
The fundamental changes in the U.S. Submarine Force since the end of the Cold War involve major shifts in submarine warfighting concepts and doctrine, from the deterrence of global war to the support of U.S. national interests in regional crises and conflicts; from a primary Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) orientation against nuclear powered submarines to taking full advantage of the modern submarine's multi-mission capabilities; from weapon loadouts of primarily MK 48 torpedoes to Tomahawk Land-Attack missiles or other weapons. This changing operational context has rippled through all elements of U.S. submarine operations, from peacetime presence to strategic deterrence.
The transitions in the submarine force follow directly from the transitions in the world order and the evolving nature of the U.S. Navy. The world order has shifted from a bi-polar superpower alignment to a multi-polar collection of interests. While the likelihood of global conflict is greatly reduced, there is an increasing chance of regional conflict. The composition and operational posture of the U.S. Navy reflects this, having changed from a blue water emphasis to a littoral emphasis. For the submarine force this has meant several changes in roles:
+ Prior to the end of the Cold War, Anti-Submarine Warfare was the major role for U.S. Attack Submarines. Now U.S. submarines are more multi-mission oriented.
+ Intelligence gathering has shifted from strategic to tactical reconnaissance.
+ The "Silent Service" is no longer completely silent, but exchanges information covertly with other U.S. forces.
The submarine force is learning how to synergistically interoperate with other Navy and Joint communities for mutual mission accomplishment. This includes "community alliances" such as:
+ Force Protection/Strike with Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups and Amphibious Ready Groups.
+ Special Warfare with Special Operating Forces (such as Navy SEALs)
+ Intelligence with the Surveillance community.
The primary roles and missions for the U.S. submarine force are:
+ Peacetime Engagement
+ Surveillance and Intelligence
+ Special Operations
+ Precision Strike
+ Battlegroup Operations
+ Sea Denial
+ Deterrence
Although the United States is at peace, there is always the potential of regional crises threatening to erupt into armed conflict. During the past half-century, the United States has become involved in similar regional conflicts and crises. Recently, the Navy has played major roles in the evacuation of Americans and other foreign nationals from the unrest in Liberia (Operation Sharp Edge), the liberation of Kuwait and the destruction of Iraq's offensive capability (Operation Desert Storm), and the simultaneous rescue of Americans from revolution in Somalia (Operation Eastern Exit). In peacetime the deployment of submarines in forward areas can demonstrate U.S. interest in the region. Alternatively, submarines are valuable if the President decides that interest should not be visible until a specific time. The long endurance and high transit speeds of nuclear submarines make them particularly attractive for rapid deployments to forward areas in such circumstances. Once on station the attack submarine can be highly visible – in 1991 U.S. submarines conducted more than 200 port visits to 50 cities around the world – or invisible. This operational flexibility is combined with the versatile firepower of the modern attack submarine. Also, the same submarine can also be used to land small groups of special operations forces, or to conduct surveillance of an area, or carry out electronic surveillance to gain valuable intelligence. These submarines can also operate independently or in direct support of carrier battle groups, surface task forces, or with other submarines.
Return to roles and missions list.
For the past 45 years the attack submarine has been an invaluable platform for surveillance, intelligence, and warning. This capability comes from the submarine's stealth characteristic… the ability to enter an area to watch, to listen, to collect information without being seen. While satellites and aircraft are used to garner various types of information, their operations are inhibited by weather, cloud cover, and the locations of collection targets. In some situations it is difficult to keep a satellite or aircraft in a position to conduct sustained surveillance of a specific area. And, of course, satellites and aircraft are severely limited in their ability to observe or detect underwater activity. Submarines have been employed in various forms of surveillance and intelligence collection throughout the Cold War. Continuing regional crises and conflicts will require such operations in support of U.S. and allied interests. In the future, submarines may also use Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) or drones to collect intelligence or conduct sustained surveillance of critical regions of the world. These vehicles will be sent out from a submarine to carry sensors into areas where it may not be safe or prudent for the submarine to venture. After fulfilling its mission, the AUV could return to the launching submarine, or transmit the data underwater or to a satellite. Information is vital to American political and military leaders if they are to make proper judgements, decisions, and plans. As Winston Churchill wrote: "The great thing is to get the true picture, whatever it is": Submarines are important in the array of methods by which the true picture can be obtained.
Return to roles and missions list
Submarines have long been used for special operations – carrying commandos, reconnaissance teams, and agents on high-risk missions. Most special operations by U.S. submarines are carried out by SEALs, the Sea-Air-Land teams trained for missions behind enemy lines. These special forces can be inserted by fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter, parachute, or surface craft, but in most scenarios only submarines guarantee covert delivery. Once in the objective area, SEALs can carry out combat search-and-rescue operations, reconnaissance, sabotage, diversionary attacks, monitoring of enemy movements or communications, and a host of other clandestine and often high-risk missions. Nuclear-powered submarines are especially well-suited for this role because of their high speed, endurance and stealth. U.S. nuclear powered submarines have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to carry out special operations involving many swimmers. During exercises, which include Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps special operations personnel as well as SEALs, submarines recover personnel who parachute from fixed-wing aircraft and rappel down from helicopters into the sea, take them aboard, and subsequently launch them on missions. These Special Warfare Team Missions include:
+ Combat Swimmer Attacks
+ Reconnaissance and Surveillance
+ Infiltration/Exfiltration Across the Beach
+ Beach Feasibility Studies, Hydrographic Survey, and Surf Observation Teams in support of amphibious landing operations.
Any U.S. submarine can be employed to carry SEALs, however, the Navy has several submarines that have been specially modified to carry swimmers and their equipment more effectively, including the installation of chambers called Dry Deck Shelters (DDSs) to house Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs). These submarines retain their full suite of weapons and sensors for operations as attack submarines. But they have special fittings, modifications to their air systems and other features to enable them to carry Dry Deck Shelters. The DDS can be used to transport and launch an SDV or to "lock out" combat swimmers. A DDS can be installed in about 12 hours and is air-transportable, further increasing special operations flexibility. Several units of the STURGEON (SSN 637) class can carry one chamber each, while two former ballistic missile submarines can accommodate two shelters each. The DDS, fitted aft of the submarine's sail structure, is connected to the submarine's after hatch to permit free passage between the submarine and the DDS while the submarine is underwater and approaching the objective area. Then, with the submarine still submerged, the SEALs can exit the DDS and ascend to the surface, bringing with them equipment and rubber rafts, or they can mount an SDV and travel underwater several miles to their objective area. The number of SEALs carried in a submarine for a special operation varies with the mission, duration, target and other factors. One or more SEAL platoons of two officers and 14 enlisted men are normally embarked, plus additional SEALs to help with mission planning in the submarine and to handle equipment. Former SSBNs employed to operate with SEALs have special berthing spaces for about 50 SEALs.
Return to roles and missions list
U.S. attack submarines carry Tomahawk Land-Attack Missiles (TLAM), which provide the capability for long-range, precision strike with conventional warheads against shore targets. This combination of stealthy attack submarine and precise, long-range cruise missile has many advantages for national decision makers:
+ Clandestine, non-provocative presence
+ Air superiority is not required
+ Timely flexibility
+ No chance of lost aircraft or airmen
First used in combat in the 1991 Gulf War, the TLAM has proven to be a highly effective weapon. The official Department of Defense report "Conduct of the Persian Gulf War" (1992) states: "The observed accuracy of TLAM, for which unambiguous target imagery is available, met or exceeded the accuracy mission planners predicted." When the war began on the night of 16 January 1991, the opening shots were Tomahawk cruise missiles lunched from U.S. Navy surface ships in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The missiles arrived over the heavily defended Iraqi capital of Baghdad at about the same time as U.S. Air Force F-117 "Stealth" attack planes carrying guided bombs. During the six week air war, F-117 attack planes were the only strike aircraft to operate over Baghdad at night, and TLAMs were the only U.S. weapons to strike the city in day-light during the entire campaign. Conventional aircraft were not used in strikes against Baghdad and certain other Iraqi targets because of the heavy anti-aircraft defenses. U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines fired 288 land-attack variants of the Tomahawk during the Gulf War. Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers launched 276 of the missiles and 12 were launched from submarines – the USS LOUISVILLE (SSN 724), operating in the Red Sea launched eight missiles and the USS PITTSBURGH (SSN 720), operating in the eastern Mediterranean, launched four missiles. These launches demonstrated the ability of the submarine to operate as part of an integrated strike force, with targets and related strike data being communicated to them at sea. In future military operations submarines will not replace traditional carrier attack aircraft. Rather, submarine and surface ship-launched TLAM strikes will be the vanguard of such attacks, destroying early-warning, air-defense, and communications facilities to reduce the threats against manned aircraft. Submarines in particular can reach attack positions without alerting or provoking the intended adversary.
Attack submarines are fully integrated into Navy battle group operations. Typically, 2 attack submarines are assigned to each battle group. These submarines particpate with the battle group in all pre-deployment operational training and exercises. While operating with the battle group, tactical control or command of the submarines is routinely shifted to amphibious group commanders, battle group commanders, destroyer squadron commanders, or even NATO commanders. Likewise, tactical control of NATO submarines is routinely shifted to U.S. commanders.
Stopping enemy surface ships and submarines from using the seas is an important mission for submarines. Attack submarines can perform sea denial missions in a variety of scenarios, from general war against a major maritime power, to blockages of enemy ports. Attacks against enemy surface ships or submarines can be part of a war of attrition, where the object is to destroy as much of the opposing naval fleet or merchant shipping as possible, or such attacks can be directed against specific targets. An example of the attrition campaign was the U.S. submarine operations against the Imperial Japanese merchant marine in World War II, with U.S. undersea craft sinking more than half of Japan's merchant vessels, as well as a large number of warships. During the Falklands War in 1982, the sinking of the Argentine cruiser GENERAL BELGRANO by the British nuclear-powered submarine CONQUEROR caused the remainder of the Argentine surface fleet, including its aircraft carrier, to return to port. There were no further sorties by Argentine surface warships during the conflict because of the demonstrated threat from British nuclear-powered submarines. The principal U.S. submarine weapon for attacking enemy surface ships or submarines is the MK 48 torpedo , with the improved ADCAP (Advanced Capability) variant now entering service. This is a heavy-weight torpedo, with a long range and a large warhead. Advanced guidance allows it to be used against both surface ships and submarines, with the ability to engage high-speed, maneuvering targets. Attack submarines also carry anti-ship missiles that can engage enemy surface ships at ranges beyond those of torpedoes. The Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile (TASM), has a range of more than 250 nautical miles and is launched while the submarine is completely submerged. After launch, the missile travels to the surface where the jet engine starts and the missile streaks toward its target. Once launched, the missile has autonomous guidance, making it a "fire and forget" weapon. The Tomahawk can be carried in place of torpedoes and can be launched from torpedo tubes. Half of the submarines in the LOS ANGELES (SSN 688) class are also fitted with 12 vertical tubes that can launch TLAMs and TASMs. Submarines also carry mines to deny sea areas to enemy surface ships or submarines. Two types of mines are used by submarines, the enCAPsulated TORpedo (CAPTOR) and the Submarine-Launched Mobile Mine (SLMM). The CAPTOR can be used against submarines in deep water, while the SLMM is a torpedo-like weapon that, after being launched by the submarine, can travel several miles to a specific point, where it sinks to the sea floor and activates its mine sensors. It is particularly useful for blockading a harbor or a narrow sea passage.
Just prior to the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991, the U.S. Navy's 34 ballistic missile submarines carried some 45% of the almost 12,000 nuclear warheads in the nation's strategic offensive forces. The other components of the U.S. Triad of strategic forces, the land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles and land-based bombers, carried some 20% and 35% of the warheads, respectively. The significance of the Navy's SSBN force was cited by General Colin Powell, U.S. Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a ceremony in April 1992 marking the completion of the 3,000th deterrent patrol. General Powell told the submariners: "But no one – no one – has done more to prevent conflict, no one has made a greater sacrifice for the cause of Peace, than you. America's proud missile submarine family. You stand tall among all our heroes of the Cold War." Strategic deterrence remains a fundamental element of U.S. defense strategy, just as conventional deterrence has become increasingly important since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Nuclear-powered submarines will be the principal component of the future U.S. strategic posture. Land-based bombers and intercontinental missiles are being reduced; the SSBN force will be the only Triad element still deploying missiles armed with Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry vehicles (MIRVs). The future submarine component of the Triad will consist of 18 modern OHIO (SSBN 726) class SSBNs, each capable of carrying 24 long-range TRIDENT missiles with up to eight warheads per missile. A review of SSBN warheads is being made by the United States as part of the reduction of strategic weapons directed by the President. Still, the submarine force will provide the overwhelming majority of U.S. strategic weapons – the burden of future strategic nuclear deterrence will be squarely on the submarine force.

Rice allowance for UP employees increased
he UP Board of Regents has approved the increase in the rice allowance for UP faculty and personnel from P1,000 to P1,500. This was announced by Prof. Lourdes E. Abadingo, Secretary of the University, after the 1232nd Meeting of the Board of Regents held in May 30, 2008 at the UP Visayas Cebu College , Lahug, Cebu City ..
The increase in the rice allowance is a result of a memorandum of agreement between UP and the All UP Workers' Union wherein a "rice subsidy, a minimum of two sacks of rice of approximately 50 kg. with a maximum of P1,000 each" is provided. However, due to the rising prices it was proposed that the first rice allowance for 2008 be increased. The benefit will be given to rank and file employees, Faculty members, REPS and administrative personnel of the UP system.

Cloud Computing has been a major factor for companies of all sizes and types in determining their IT strategy. The compelling nature of the pay-as-you-go model that has minimized large capital outlays for technology projects, enhanced agility that enterprises derive with the ability to scale up/down at will, and reduced costs incurred due to sharing infrastructure established at large scales have made it highly attractive to executives. These factors also appear to make a solid case for Cloud adoption; however, the ground reality is quite different. For any enterprise, Cloud strategy is not a one-size-fits-all and depends upon the intrinsic complexities that define an organization, which in turn is based upon the nature of its operations.
Looking at various applications that exist within an organization from the outside, it appears simple to decide which applications can be moved to the Cloud and those that should be retained in-house. Yet, this is a simplistic view that ignores the context of these applications and the organization within which they exist. While the nature of any given application seems to be an obvious driver in the decision to move it to the cloud, a close look at the current landscape across various organizations reveal that the organization's size, maturity and integration with other applications are also significant drivers of the adoption. This paper attempts to take a closer look at the many complexities involved with matching any given enterprise to an appropriate Cloud strategy, and explores the drivers that explain such a disparity in adoption of Cloud services.
As a new startup, it is a simple proposition to use the Cloud for computing capacity. There are no large capital investments needed, or processes for acquisition and installation of equipment. A Cloud service can be used to provision capacity for a nominal cost. There is no need for expensive infrastructure that might be underutilized, or teams to manage the same. In case there is a need for more capacity, it can be obtained instantaneously. This increases the agility of a startup, while keeping down costs. As the startup grows, its infrastructure can also grow with it.
As organizations grow, the scale and scope of their IT needs/applications also increase. Large scales imply economies of scale from deploying applications in-house, reducing benefits resulting from migrating to the Cloud. With a large scope, multiple Cloud providers are needed to satisfy the organization's needs, which makes it preferable to retain these applications in-house. Although most of these workloads are unlikely to provide any economies of scale, the integration between them represents a large barrier to migration.
As with scale, the complexity of the applications used within organizations increases as they grow/mature. In the early stages most companies just need email and spreadsheets. As they grow they need tools such as Salesforce, Workday, etc. They might also use computing capacity from AWS or Google, and migrate their email to Office 365. They also begin to establish workflows that integrate these services to mirror their operational processes. While it makes sense to use XaaS services for most needs, other factors accompany growth – gradual acquisition of proprietary information, data movement (between applications, organizational functions, and multiple sites), and regulatory mandates. These factors promote the establishment and usage of complex systems.
Examples of complex systems are ERP systems, MES systems, and Data warehouses. They impact multiple or all functions within the organization, make extensive use of automated workflows, and generate reports at daily or hourly rests that are needed to make operational decisions. They communicate with many other applications, and interact with multiple organizational functions and impact core operations at various levels within the organization. They communicate with systems and applications that belong to their suppliers, partners, customers, and regulatory organizations. They are organization-aware and have been extensively customized to closely match the organization's operations. Losing these applications has critical impact upon an organization, bringing most operations to a halt.
It is this combination of organizational and industry awareness, criticality of business impact, and extensive integration with other systems that makes complex systems hard to replicate within a Cloud environment. In case these systems already exist in-house, it is quite difficult to upgrade, replace, or migrate to the Cloud.
Based on the chart above, we see that organizations with large monolithic applications, or organizations with complex applications (even at low scales), should maintain these in-house. On the other hand, smaller companies with low complexity of applications are better served by using Cloud-based applications.
What would be the recommendations for an existing enterprise? Again, for an existing startup, this would be a no-brainer; in most cases, it would be to leverage the Cloud to improve agility while minimizing expenses. On the other hand, a large existing enterprise has the necessary scale to retain its infrastructure and systems in-house. It is quite easy to recommend that a new startup rent its infrastructure at AWS or build its applications upon the Azure platform. It is similarly easy to recommend that companies such as GE or Merck maintain their systems in-house. The recommendation is not so clear for medium-sized companies; they do not have a very large scale to justify in-house retention. At the same time, this is complicated by integration between applications.
How do these recommendations change with growth? When does Cloud Strategy dictate moving Cloud systems in-house or vice-versa? Let us take a look at the chart below to understand the impact.
Startups score low on both scale and scope of their applications, and hence are located at the top right of the above chart. As they grow, the scale and scope of their workloads increases, causing them to resemble mid-sized companies, and ultimately become large enterprises. This migration is also pictured above. At some point in the organizational lifecycle, it becomes economically imperative for applications to be migrated to in-house systems, as shown in the blue region. However, strategic considerations may pre-empt this move, within the brown region above.
What are some of the other considerations that dictate Cloud strategy and have a bearing upon customer adoption? We will take a look at these aspects in Part 2 of this paper.

Hi, Fabio,
Yes, this means that it cannot access the database. If you have SQL Server Management Studio installed on the workstation you are using to submit the code review, you can try to access the SQL Server instance that hosts malevich database (typically, it's
just the computer name where the database is) using Windows Authentication option is SSMS and it should work.
If I were to venture a guess, I would say that you are either trying to submit from a local account (on your machine, vs the domain account), or you have two domains in your environment and the domain where your account is located is not trusted by the machine
that runs Malevich (and the domains do not trust each other).
The best way to proceed, depending on your situation, would be to (1) use domain account if you are not, (2) set up limited (authentication) trust between the domain of your account and the domain of Malevich server, or (3) if you absoluetly must use
a local account, create a local account on Malevich server with the same name and password as your local account on your local machine. This is sort of the last resort solution.
If you tell us more about how your network is set up, perhaps I could be of more help. Feel free to PM me as well...
Options number 3 worked fine!
BTW, it would be great to have a msi instalation program for the server and for the client.
Anyway, thank you!

On April 20, 2017, The Veritas Forum at BC presented "Does Science Point to Atheism?" Held in the heart of the chemistry center on a Roman Catholic campus, this was sure to be a discussion worth attending.
Two professors from MIT were invited to speak at the event: Ian Hutchinson of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Alex Byrne of Philosophy. Advertised as a discussion between an atheist and a Christian, I was expecting the typical atheist-scientist versus Christian philosopher/theologian debate. What caught my attention and put me on the edge of my seat immediately? In this discussion, the usual roles were reversed as an expert in plasma science defended his faith, and his chair-of-philosophy colleague used logic and syllogisms to disprove God's existence.
Dr. Hutchinson presented first on his view that natural science does not result in disbelief in God. Among other arguments, he used a set of statistics to demonstrate his point that being involved in the academia of the natural sciences does not show decreased religiosity. When comparing the different academic fields, professors in the humanities and the social sciences actually report a belief in God in lower percentages than those in the natural sciences.
Adamant that science and God are not mutually exclusive and can coexist, Dr. Hutchinson also used a metaphor to describe the relationship between evolution and intelligent design. Science can explain how water boils, but that says nothing against the fact that he wanted it for a cup of tea in the first place! (In an important aside, both of these professors hail from Britain).
Dr. Byrne took to the podium next, setting up a crisp and clean PowerPoint presentation to accompany his words – the debate had yet to begin, but this felt slightly like a power-play after Dr. Hutchinson's strictly verbal lecture. Dr. Byrne took a broader approach to the definition of science, including a variety of fields from biology to anthropology to history under its umbrella. From here, he gave three straightforward arguments.
First was an argument centered around the concept of "lonely suffering." Why would an all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful God (as in the Judeo-Christian tradition) allow any part of Creation to suffer without an Earthly agent, without benefit, and without witnesses? The second argument asked why God would stay hidden instead of allowing people the opportunity to know Him explicitly. Finally, what gives humans a sharp and relevant distinction from other animals such that God would mark them as special? Here Dr. Byrne called upon human ancestors such as Neanderthals to ask where the line can be drawn that mark Homo sapiens as "the chosen people." He drew a chuckle from the audience when he pulled up his Neanderthal ancestry results from his 23andMe profile.
The ensuing discussion consisted of the two professors answering questions both from the moderator, BC's own Micah Lott of the philosophy department, and from students in the audience. Before they began to answer any of these questions, however, there was a friendly "turf war," as Dr. Byrne described it, about what was meant by the word "science" in this context.
It was a lively conversation full of intelligent analysis, long-winded responses, and more than a touch of wit. Had it been a fight, it would have been a fair one, and the two clearly could have gone on for hours more if left to their own devices.
These two speakers engaged the audience, and that was by far a bigger accomplishment than any irrefutable argument either might have made. Even in a room full of people inclined to "take sides," particularly Dr. Hutchinson's, the respect each person held for the discussion was almost tangible. The door was opened for further conversation on the topic, and if there's one thing BC loves, it's the idea of an ongoing conversation.
No matter what your field of study or you concept of faith, the discussion is there, waiting to be held. Does science point to atheism? Can we reach an agreement? Is there space for God in an academic setting? Can our views and lifestyles change? The answers may be complicated and controversial, but taking the first step and asking the questions is simple.
Who was the winner, if a discussion-not-debate can have such a thing? I'll let you be the judge of that. Veritas ensured that the entire event was recorded and will soon be uploaded to their website.

Last preseason, the New England Patriots were riding high. They had added a few marquee free agents and were considered a favorite to win the AFC, if not the Super Bowl.
We all saw what happened there.
This preseason, however, things feel a little different.
"Completely different," Boston Globe Patriots reporter Ben Volin said on CBS Sports Radio's Tiki and Tierney. "You have a bunch of injuries, so several players from last year's Super Bowl team aren't practicing that much right now – guys like Dont'a Hightower, Brandon LaFell, Jerod Mayo – and even more are sitting out the games. Julian Edelman's been banged up. They're not letting Gronk participate much – or at all – in the preseason games. So it's just a strange feel. It's a bunch of backups and it's not the familiar faces. Darrelle Revis is gone now. Vince Wilfork is gone. And then obviously there's this lawsuit looming over the team. They don't know if Tom Brady's going to sit out four games or one game or zero games. So it's almost like camp is a secondary thing for the Patriots this year. They're really just trying to get healthy and get ready for the regular season because right now we're just seeing a lot of new faces and a lot of guys who the Patriots hope they don't really have to use this year."
Jimmy Garoppolo may or may not be one of those guys. The second-year quarterback out of Eastern Illinois could be thrust into the starting job if Brady is suspended. The 23-year-old was a little shaky in his first preseason game against the Packers, but he was a solid 28-of-33 for 269 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 26-24 road win over the Saints this past Saturday.
"I think Jimmy Garoppolo has shown in two preseasons – more than Ryan Mallett ever did or Brian Hoyer – I think Garoppolo is showing at minimum that he belongs in the NFL," Voli said. "Obviously the second game against the Saints, you really have to like his decision-making. He's very decisive about where to go with the football and completed 28 of 33 passes. That's exactly what you want to see. That's the most important aspect of the Patriots' offense: Take the check-down and keep the chains moving and the ball moving. And for Garoppolo to go 28-of-33 is very good.
"One thing we haven't seen from him yet is pushing the ball down the field, though," Volin continued. "Like 25 of his passes were within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. He's not really pushing the ball downfield yet. You'd like to see him take some bigger chances and get some more of those chunk yards maybe in lieu of completion percentage. But he looks pretty good and you also have to consider that this is preseason. He's playing with 2s and 3s, no Rob Gronkowski of course, playing against 2s and 3s. Against the Saints, (he was facing) . . . a pretty standard four-man rush. Not seeing a lot of complicated things that the Jets and the Bills and these teams are going to be throwing at him this year.
"So Garoppolo is showing he belongs, no question, but I'm not ready to get on the hype train either. If he has to play four games, the Patriots are going to have to really protect him and game-plan him to just kind of manage the game and win the game on turnovers and defense and field goals."


text: A Message from the Co-Chair I am honored to have been selected as the 2016-2017 Co-Chair for the Aspiring Leader's Network. The ALN has allowed me to work with a dedicated group of poeple, who I know will continue to help connect young leaders across the public and private sectors. This is a great opportunity to expand my network and I look foward to working alongside Wendy Shih. The ALN has already achieved many successful events and developed chapters in 4 different cities. The goal is to expand even further and hopefully one day we can spread across Canada. With this experience I hope to learn skills that I will be able to use throughout my career. There will be a lot of fun events we will be planning, and I hope to see you there! Thank you, Jean Farley Co-Chair of the Aspiring Leaders Network email@example.com

LTC prepares each pupil to fulfil their potential by offering tailored education programmes. One and two year programmes at GCSE and A-level, as well as tailored pathway programmes and academic holiday courses, are offered in small classes, with a guaranteed maximum of five pupils for academic subjects. This enables our experienced tutors to engage with pupils and help them achieve their personal best.
If the student is from overseas, LTC provides a very effective EAL programme which enables the student to rapidly acquire the necessary language skills.
Parents and pupils can choose from 25 GCSE subjects and 34 A-level subjects to ensure that each pupil can be taught a programme which is best suited to their needs and ambitions. Additionally, the study skills sessions and tutorial system provide a sound basis for success.
Experience shows that this approach helps students across the academic spectrum, from those wishing to retake exams to high-achievers aiming for top grades in GCSE or A-level. Traditionally LTC A-level students have progressed to 'top tier' universities in the UK and around the world.
Extra-curricular activity is an important part of life at LTC. There is a wide choice of activities including badminton, bowling, dance, horse-riding, ice skating, music, rowing, rugby, swimming, tennis, taekwondo and volleyball. We arrange trips to historic sights, museums, exhibitions and events in London that form part of a homework project and are used in class as a basis for discussion.
ISI inspectors have reported that LTC exceeds expectations in the last three inspections (2011, 2013, 2015). LTC is accredited by the British Council. LTC is also an edexcel, AQA and OCR exam centre and has recently secured registration with DfE as an independent school.
LTC is situated in Greater London, about 13 miles (21km) south west of Buckingham Palace and only 10 miles (17km) from London Heathrow airport. Surbiton railway station provides fast trains (less than 20 minutes) to London Waterloo and the main shopping centre of Kingston upon Thames is only a short bus ride away.

I recently found a good posting at Lady (Legal) Writer that compares and contrasts the briefs from the Hobby Lobby case. Two well-known lawyers drafted the briefs—Paul Clement represented Hobby Lobby and Donald Verrilli represented the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). Recall that the issue was whether the contraception mandate violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

In litigation, you have to persuade judges that your client's position is correct, but don't forget about the gatekeepers. Your motions and briefs will probably be reviewed by a law clerk before it reaches the judge's desk. I have spoken with several federal law clerks, and they told me that they have reviewed many motions and briefs where it appeared that the attorneys didn't care whether their clients prevailed. I didn't realize that attorneys would prefer to lose—not win—their case. If your goal is to lose your motion or brief, this sarcastic article is for you.

How to Write Better
You probably want to know how to write well—or at least decently. (If you don't, then I hope that you can hire somebody who can write.) An article by Michael Bess of Winston & Strawn should help. His article offers 12 tips for writing better.

Professor Joi Montiel of Jones School of Law has published a great article on how an appellate brief can create an obstacle course for judges. Unlike our brave soldiers, judges dislike obstacles. Your brief should provide judges with a clear pathway to your conclusions. Professor Montiel identifies 10 obstacles (again, these are bad things).

We found the night manager at 6:00 am, when we were picking up our car on 10/25/17 to be quite curt and a little on the rude side. Other than him, everyone else seemed friendly and efficient. This is a great service. We would use it again. Thank you so much.

Will Academic Medical Centers Show the Love to Their Faculty Quality Improvers?
Feb 28, 2009 9 years ago Bob Wachter 1 Comment
When we launched our hospitalist program in 1995, I dreamed that many of our faculty would become leaders in quality and patient safety. That dream has come true, but we now must leap over two hurdles: getting these superb physicians paid and promoted. I think we can do it, but there are a bunch of issues to sort out, at UCSF and everywhere else.Traditionally, academic health centers have paid lip service to quality and safety. One could tell this by answering a few simple questions: Who were the academic Rock Stars? The great researchers. How was the promotional system structured? To support top-notch lab jocks and, to a much lesser extent, teachers. Where did the discretionary dollars go? To supporting discovery and education. Don't get me wrong… academia wasn't completely disinterested in its clinical enterprise, but the coin of the clinical realm was prominence and profitability, not quality and safety.…
Balloon kyphoplasty for vertebral fractures
Feb 25, 2009 9 years ago Danielle Scheurer 0 Comment
In this randomized trial of over 300 patients with vertebral fractures, patients were randomized to balloon kyphoplasty or non-surgical treatment and followed up for a year. Kyphoplasty was superior in physical function, pain, and quality of life scores at 1, 3, and 6 months, but the differences between the groups diminished by a year (abstract). Based on this study, balloon kyphoplasty appears to be a reasonable treatment option to reduce short term pain and disability in patients admitted with vertebral fractures.
Radiation of coronary CTA
Feb 24, 2009 9 years ago Danielle Scheurer 0 Comment
In this observational study of almost 2000 patients at 50 sites worldwide, researchers found the mean radiation dose of coronary CTA was 12 mSv (millisieverts), which is comparable to a nuclear stress test or an abdominal/pelvic CT (abstract). However, they did find tremendous variability (5mSv-30mSv) depending on protocol used, which reminds us to consider radiation exposure when weighing the risks and benefits of any radiologic diagnostic test.
Rapid ED discharge of chest pain with negative CTA
Feb 23, 2009 9 years ago Danielle Scheurer 0 Comment
In this prospective single institution cohort of over 500 patients evaluated in the ED for chest pain, those at low risk for ACS (TIMI risk 0-2), underwent coronary CTA (1 group with immediate CTA and 1 group with CTA after short observation stay). Those with low risk CTA (calcium score <100 and no stenosis >50%) were discharged home. Those in the immediate CTA group were discharged at a median of 7 hours, and the observation group were discharged at a median of 21 hours. None of those discharged had a CV event or MI at 1 month follow up. This adds to the mounting literature of the safety of early triage and disposition of low risk chest pain patients with coronary CTA (abstract)
Are We Mature Enough to Make Use of Comparative Effectiveness Research?
Feb 21, 2009 9 years ago Bob Wachter 6 Comments
Thanks to White House budget director Peter Orszag, a Dartmouth Atlas aficionado, $1.1 billion found its way into the stimulus piñata for "comparative effectiveness" research. Terrific, but – to paraphrase Jack Nicholson – can we handle the truth?In other words, are we mature enough to use comparative effectiveness data to make tough decisions about what we will and won't pay for? I worry that we're not. First, a bit of background. Our healthcare system, despite easily being the world's most expensive, produces (by all objective measures) relatively poor quality care. Work begun 3 decades ago by Dartmouth's Jack Wennberg and augmented more recently by Elliott Fisher has made a point sound-bitey enough for even legislators to understand: cost and quality vary markedly from region to region, variations that cannot be explained by clinical evidence and do not appear to be related to healthcare outcomes. In other words, plotting a 2x2…

Iron Deficiency Anemia
Iron Deficiency Anemia (also called IDA) is a condition where a person has inadequate amounts of iron to meet body demands. Iron deficiency is defined as a decreased total iron body content. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when iron deficiency is sufficiently severe to diminish erythropoiesis and cause the development of anemia.
Iron deficiency is the most prevalent single deficiency state on a worldwide basis. It is important economically because it diminishes the capability of individuals who are affected to perform physical labor, and it diminishes both growth and learning in children. It has become much less common in the United States over the past 30 years, primarily due to iron-fortified infant formulas and cereals. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia.
Approximately 20% of women, 50% of pregnant women, and 3% of men are iron deficient. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin , the oxygen-carrying pigment in the blood. Hemoglobin and serum ferritin are the most common ways to test for anemia. A new test called serum transferrin receptor is a good way to determine iron deficiency anemia because this test is not affected by inflammation.
Some people with iron deficiency anemia always feel cold. They feel cold because iron plays a role in regulating the body's temperature. Iron is normally obtained through the food in your diet and by recycling iron from old red blood cells. Without it, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively and oxygen is needed for the normal functioning of every cell in the body.
The causes of iron deficiency are too little iron in the diet, poor absorption of iron by the body, and loss of blood (including from heavy menstrual bleeding ). It can also be related to lead poisoning in children. Fatigue is the most common complaint, along with malaise (vague feeling of physical discomfort or uneasiness) sensitivity to cold, shortness of breath, dizziness and restless legs syndrome (uncomfortable feeling in legs, sensations of pulling, tingling, crawling, accompanied by a need to move the legs).

Erosion Control Solution RT5 Soilbinder
What is RT5 Used For
.RT5 Soilbinder has been developed to be diluted and sprayed onto exposed embankments, slopes, dam walls and stockpiles to bind the fine soil particles together greatly reducing wind, water and wave erosion.
RT5 Soilbinder can be used in the following applications:
- Plantation Terraces
- Allows for long term dust control whilst not being affected by vehicular surface movement.
- Dam Walls
- To control both water erosion and erosion caused by wave action.
- All Exposed Slopes
- To control wind and water erosion.
- Furrow Irrigation Channels
- Agglomerating fine particles to bind and settle them stopping them being washed away.
- Stockpiles
- Binding fine particles to reduce dust and washout.
How It Works
RT5 Soilbinder physically binds the fine surface particles together with long chain polymers to form a larger bound mass. This action of 'mass agglomeration' means the particles become much heavier stopping:
- Wind blowing them away
- Water washing them down slopes
- Waves eroding dam walls
Water passes over the treated soil surface without fine particles being dislodged and washed away.
RT5 Soilbinder is diluted and sprayed directly onto the exposed soil surface. There is no drying or setting time as the product works instantaneously on being applied to the soil structure. Even rain during application will not affect the performance.
Application Rate
- Apply at a rate of 0.5 litres of Solution per m2
Dosage Rate
- Diluted 1:500 with Fresh Water
- Environmentally safe
- Easy application
- No drying or setting times
- Effective immediately on application
All RST products are environmentally safe and user friendly. For further detailed information on a specific product or application please contact our Head Office.

Orange is the New Black started with a huge bang, becoming the unexpected viral binge of the summer. People decried the follow up seasons as inferior, but for the most part, the fourth season was mostly highly acclaimed. One of the things the show tends to handle well is balancing an enormous cast and getting you to care about near all of them.
This last season was no exception, shedding light on the backstories of airhead Maritza, Lolly's tragic mental illness, Bianca's subversive rebellion, Suzanne's tragic mental illness (more meaningful because we already know her), and Poussey's path to incarceration. It's a season that introduced a few new interesting characters, like famous chef Judy King, getting involved in quasi-racist actions.
It's a season of arcs and growths and falls, watching the tyranny of sociopathic guards or the pain of Caputo's attempts at doing the right thing. Of course, the final tragic death of the season, which everything led up to and leads from, still hits pretty hard. It was a season I certainly enjoyed, even if I always end up forgetting some of the specifics when a new season is coming around.
And I can't say I care about all the backstories equally; the Suzanne story, while done well, was predictable, and some of those flashbacks don't seem to matter much to the overall story other than fleshing out some of the less interesting characters. But it worked well enough that I'm certainly still on board for the next season, and I'll be waiting for the official release.
The three disc Blu-ray arrives with crisp, clear video with precisely the audio needed to understand all the dialog easily. I'd have to liked to see some additional features, a better reason to buy the collection than simply a few commentaries and higher quality, but we get what we get.
Video is 1080p High Definition 16×9 Widescreen (1.78:1) and audio is English 5.1 DTS-HD Master AudioTM, French 5.1 Dolby Digital DVD Audio: English 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio, French 5.1 Dolby Digital.
The collection is short on features, but includes three episode commentaries and two short featurettes:
- Gag Reel (02:03) – silly thing but not that interesting
- "Visitation: Set Tour" Featurette (09:59) – a few mildly interesting anecdotes
- Audio Commentaries with Cast and Crew (on Episodes "It Sounded Nicer in My Head," "The Animals," and "Toast Can't Never Be Bread Again") – These include actors Lori Petty and Samira Wiley plus writer/producer Nick Jones, Lauren Morelli and Tara Herrmann. A few interesting notes but overall not the best commentaries out there.
If you don't have Netflix but have followed the series through its home video releases, then Orange is the New Black Season 4 is certainly a worthwhile addition to your collection.
