Dear readers,
This page is not mine, it belongs to you.
This is YOU, my Follower, speaking out!
Letters are MESSAGES IN A BOTTLE that you write, for example, for those who have just started dancing kizomba (for "beginners" let's say), giving them advice and sharing with them your experiences, or maybe just sharing your thoughts on one subject or another.
I keep all authors' names private (ANONYMOUS). They don't matter. Whenever you want, you can send me your letter in PM, and I'll publish it, so that everyone could hear your voice. Obviously, as soon as it doesn't have an offensive, abusive or aggressive content.
With love,
Kizomba BLOG

We are pleased to announce that SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) version 10.5 is now available for download.
As today's dynamic networks grow in size and complexity, the number of active routing topology states grows exponentially. With the new network route monitoring feature, SolarWinds NPM takes fault and performance monitoring to the next level by providing real-time network route information alongside device status and performance statistics. With support for major routing protocols including RIP, OSPF, and BGP, IT pros can now view routing tables, changes in default routes, and flapping routes in an intuitive web-based console.
Additionally, many advanced network services including multimedia distribution, finance, education, and desktop imaging rely on IP multicast to reduce network bandwidth usage. SolarWinds NPM's new IP multicast monitoring feature enables IT pros to monitor routers, switches and end-points that receive and forward multicast packets by automatically detecting and importing existing multicast groups and applications.
Other new updates to SolarWinds NPM include advanced interface filtering by hardware type, name, VLAN and more for importation of new nodes and interface; and interface auditing.
You can learn more about NPM version 10.5 and download a free fully functional 30-day trial so you can see how it works in your network.

Financial Aid
Dear Parents:
SCS utilizes FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment to conduct family financial need analysis on an annual basis. Santiam Christian has established the scholarship fund for those families who desire to be at SCS, but may require financial assistance. Financial assistance may take the form of tuition scholarship, sport/activity fees scholarship, and/or SCS free & reduced lunch. All award decisions are made by SCS and not FACTS.
The financial aid application is submitted through FACTS Grant & Aid for a processing fee of $35, paid directly to FACTS. Once the application has been reviewed and verified by FACTS, it is presented to Santiam Christian Schools. Incomplete applications, those which haven't been verified, are not presented to SCS.
Applicants can apply online beginning March 1, 2019, at https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/4BYJ7. You will need your 2018 completed tax information to complete your application. Applications may take 2-4 weeks for FACTS to process, once all required documents have been submitted. An incomplete application cannot be reviewed until all information has been submitted.
Families applying for any financial aid program will need to have a verified FACTS application by April 30, to be considered for the bulk of financial aid. Priority will be given to those verified applications, with aid notifications being sent out beginning in late May.
Applications will be accepted through August 1, 2019, and financial aid will close on September 15th of each year and depend on the remaining funds available.
Completed applications submitted prior to April 30th, 2019, will receive aid notification in late May. Incomplete applications will NOT be presented to SCS until completed.
If there is a reason you cannot complete the application process by April 30, 2019, please email me with an explanation and anticipated completion date.
Please note sport/activity fees scholarship and SCS free & reduced lunch require additional forms to be completed and returned to me.
Families should be prepared to pay all educational costs if their application is not completed by the timeframes described in this letter.

Orem,UT,United States
Member Since:
Jan 27, 1986
Goal Type:
Olympic Trials Qualifier
Running Accomplishments:
Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.
Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)
Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).
Short-Term Running Goals:
Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.
Long-Term Running Goals:
2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.
I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew, Mary, Bella. and Leigha. We home school our children.
I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

Before I forget - Kris Erickson wanted me to tell everybody that there is no day of race registration for Draper Days 5 K. So everybody who would like to run, register in advance. You can register at SportsNuts or download the registration form. I recommend everyone to run this race. It is a fast course, but not so fast that your PR crosses the boundaries of what I consider legitimate. I estimate it to be about 10 seconds faster than a perfectly flat 5 K in Salt Lake City. You get very good competition, and I have run this race enough times to where I can tell you what is going on with your training and fitness by studying your Draper Days splits.
Jeff and I drove to Vivian Park from my house. We left his car there. Warmed up 3.26 to the start of the Provo River 10 miler at 7:56 pace average up 3% grade. I originally wanted to run a 10 mile tempo, and the rest easy, then on the way up I changed my mind to make it 12, then 13.1, then decided to make it 15. My body was telling me I was fit enough to benefit from a 15 mile tempo at marathon race pace. Another reason for making it 15 is that it would avoid running at threshold for a good portion of the tempo thinking it was marathon pace. The longer tempo would have a humbling effect with a better inclination to face reality. It would also be a better test of marathon fitness - in most of my marathons I have been able to predict my finish time with a minute accuracy from my splits up to 15 and analyzing how I felt.
The tempo had a total drop of 1160 feet starting at 5675 ft, then dropping to 5200 ft in the first 3.23 miles (3%), then a more gradual drop to 4800 in the next 6 miles (1%), then a drop to 4700 in the next 2.5 (about 0.5%), after that a rolling drop to 4535 at the finish (less than 0.5%).
We were a bit sluggish getting started, but then eventually worked into a nice 5:30 rhythm. Hit the 3.23 mark (wheel-measured) in 17:38, then the 5 mile mark on the course, which agreed with the GPS in 27:31. Dropped Jeff off at 6 miles, he ran back to the car. Hit the standard 3 mile tempo stretch from Nunns to the mouth of the canyon in 16:42. 55:45 at around what I thought was the finish of the Provo River 10 miler. The GPS showed 10.10. I was checking it against the trusted marks and it was accurate everywhere expect about a mile stretch on mile 2 of the standard 3 mile tempo. I think the Provo River 10 miler is really 10.05 - when it was certified, there was no bridge detour. Then Curt put in the detour but did not adjust the start or the finish for it. The detour is about 0.05 long. My 10th mile was around 5:40 - it flattened out by then, and the sun started to come out. I did not worry about the pace, and focused on maintaining the same effort with the realization that now it was going to be slower.
11th mile was 5:48 (by the dots). Then I needed to go to the bathroom. So I made a stop at Wills (11.2 into the tempo). Although I was feeling good, I wanted to stay as far away from running on empty as possible. So I bought a quart of Powerade. Ideally I would have gotten a smaller container, but that was the smallest they had. I drank about half of it. Not wanting to waste the substance, I decided to run with the bottle and empty it as I went along. It turned out to be quite a nuisance. I actually ended up not using it until I was done with the tempo. Had a rough start after getting out of Wills, 1:34 quarter, then figured out a good way to carry the bottle and got into a nice rhythm - 5:40-5:45 pace on a slight down, 5:50-5:55 on the up. The trail got back to the river, and now I was going under bridges and making a lot of turns - this slowed me down to a couple of 1:30-1:32 quarters, but then I shifted gears and started handling the disruptions of rhythm better - 1:28-1:29 quarters. Hit the half marathon around 1:13:50 - going by the GPS and adding 0.05 for the error in the Provo Canyon.
Felt strong all the way to 15, finished it in 1:25:00, exactly 5:40 pace average on the dot. It was very tempting to try to run another 11 just as hard to see what I could get for the marathon. However, I was running out of time, and also there a bit of wisdom that I learned from years of running - Just because you can, does not mean you should!
Stopped, and finished the Powerade. Now I was glad I had it with me. Had a nice recovery jog to get to the total of 20 eventually easing into a 7:00 pace, which felt very nice. Total time for 20 miles was 2:02:50.
Afterwards, ate breakfast and went the children's parade. Ran 0.6 with James (Ted's son) there to fetch the van after the parade was over.
Sasha, Nice workout! So what are you training for this fall? I assume St. George. The next shot at the trials is 4 years away!
Holy miles this week Batman! Are you doing the Sandy 10K with Paul on the 4th?
I would love to do some of those races on the 4th or the 21st but I am already signed up to do the Blacksmith Fork 15K in Hyrum on the 4th and the Bryce Canyon Half on the 21st. I am spending the 4th with the in-laws and over the 24th with my family down in St. George. I am surprised to see you think I could do 2:27 in St. George. I feel if I keep moving up the mileage and continue with speed work it might be possible. I also would benefit running with someone. Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it. Great week with the mileage.
103 miles. WOW! Sasha your an amazing runner! Thanks for all your comments.
Hey Sasha,
Alright, I think I have a general plan to go by for a Utah visit. I am planning on running the Draper Days 5k on the 21st of July. I was planning on flying out (I get free standby airline tickets) on the 19th, and staying in Utah until the 24th or 25th. I am still unsure of exact times, but this seems to be where my general plan is headed. Does this work for you? Just tell me what would work out best. Chad invited me to stay with him the night before Draper Days b/c he is close to the start. Maybe I could stay there (if its ok with him of course) and make a switch directly after the race. I don't have any solid itenerary, so what works for you will probably work for me!
The plan is to run DesNews, but approach it more as a training run with a strong finish. After than another training run of sorts at the Top of Utah, and then give it all I've got in St. George and try to hit a qualifier.
I am running Sandy Classic.
The only thing that would keep you from running 2:27 or faster in St. George is the lack of glycogen in the muscles. Aerobically you are there, you just need to work on your fuel storage, which you are doing already in your training.
Anything works for me. Draper Days is actually about half way between Chad's place and ours. However, Chad is closer to the airport. If you stay until the 24th, you'll get to see the Utah Pioneer's Parade along with the 10K and the marathon. If you feel inclined, you can find me at mile 20 and run with me. Talk with Chad, then let us know what you would like to do.
Well the 5K on Sat. was a little bit of a challenge, but I had fun regardless of the time, so I glad about that! Fun to watch Clyde run, and good to have Mik'L to run with, a running partner was fun if only for the day! I'm planning to run another 5K on Wed. too.

Good Morning,
The first link in this morning's briefing was broken. Below is the post. The correct link is here.
Republicans are supposed to be "rah-rah" for Romney today.
Democrats are supposed to be "rah-rah" for Obama today.
I don't much believe either side at this point. Democrats are supremely confident right now. Republicans not so much. It is a reversal from just two weeks ago.
Here's what I do know and do believe.
I believe Mitt Romney will win Florida, Virginia, and Colorado. If he loses either Florida or Virginia, it's an early night.
If he wins Florida and Virginia, we go to Ohio.
I honestly change my mind hourly on Ohio, but my best guess is that Romney wins Ohio and consequently wins the Presidency. I think Colorado is a foregone conclusion for Romney in the same way I think Nevada is a foregone conclusion for Obama.
I won't pin my hopes on Pennsylvania, but it is possible. If Pennsylvania somehow goes for Romney, it's over early.
What about Ohio though?
My sense from talking to non-campaign sources is that the GOP has been able to stay close to Obama in early voting and will win election day voting. I think economics voters and religious freedom voters, some of whom are Democrats, will push Romney over the line in Ohio.
I think senior citizens, white voters in general, Catholic voters and blue collar voters help Romney. I think a decreased youth vote hurts Obama.
If you take a polling average in Ohio, the President is three points ahead. Republicans tend to do two points better in Ohio than the polling and Democrats tend to do one point worse than the polling. That puts Ohio tied and I think passion for Romney makes up that gap.
This is a very close race. Polling trends did show a bounce for Obama post hurricane, but that bounce is now gone and I think it puts Romney, in the final days, very slightly ahead.
Of course everybody has to go vote. Please keep reading.

As well as making presents for friends and family this Christmas I also made some presents for the furry friends in their lives.
Christmas for cats!
To make them I started by cutting out some felt sardine shapes from a paper template I made. I then sewed some little fabric pouches to hold some catnip that I bought online (highest potency apparently).
After that I embroidered on some markings and sewed on some felt eyes to give them a bit of character.
Finally I sewed around the edges, put the catnip pouches in the middle of each fish (for maximum protection from sharp claws and teeth) and added toy stuffing around the edge.
And voilà! A shoal of sardines.
And just look at these little fellas enjoying themselves...
Clockwise from top left: Tiffin, Eddie, Louis, Pixel, Harry & Holly.
Sweet ones! They were a total hit I think. So much so that a few of them are fish no more.
I'm taking this as a good sign of appreciation.

SGX's kopi-C: the Company brew series. The article is republished with permission.This article by Jennifer Tan (left, Director, Research & Products, Equities & Fixed Income, at the Singapore Exchange) was first published in
|Spanning almost five decades, Mohamed Ismail Gafoor's obsession with real estate began with a childhood mired in poverty, one strewn with tales of how homelessness drove his grandmother and uncles to the brink of destruction.
"Growing up, my father told us how he and his siblings survived without a roof over their heads - they tried to seek shelter with relatives but were chased out, and at one point, my grandmother even brought him and his siblings to the river to commit suicide," recalled Ismail, Co-Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SGX-listed real estate services group PropNex Ltd.
Ismail himself grew up in a one-room public housing rental flat with four other siblings, sleeping on a mattress on the floor and waking up at the crack of dawn to help deliver newspapers before heading to school. His afternoons were mostly spent helping his father in the family's provision shop.

"My parents never owned their own home till late in their lives. That's why I believe everyone who can afford it should take an interest in understanding and owning real estate," he said.
A passion for the brick-and-mortar eventually spurred Ismail to leave a 13-year career with the Singapore Armed Forces in 1995, with the aim of building "something entrepreneurial".
A year later, together with his wife, he established real estate agency Nooris Consultants, a name coined from a combination of the first syllables of their names - Nooraini and Ismail.
The couple built up their expertise in the local property market through research and legwork - attending industry seminars, visiting showflats and frequenting open house events.
"I wanted to help as many people as possible to understand the advantages, as well as achieve their goals, of owning their own homes," said Ismail, who holds a Bachelor's degree with Honours in Land Economics from Sydney's University of Technology.
Within two years of inception, Nooris Consultants grew to become the biggest Malay-Muslim real estate agency in Singapore, but Ismail figured he ought to dream bigger. "We realised the market we were serving was too niche, and we should expand our horizons."
Size also mattered. "When you're small, you won't be able to reap economies of scale," he added.
Pole Position
So in July 2000, Nooris Consultants merged with four other partner companies, and the Property Network of Excellence - or PropNex - was born.
Listed on SGX Mainboard in July 2018, PropNex has a current market capitalisation of about S$200 million. As Singapore's largest listed real estate agency with more than 7,900 sales professionals, its key business segments include real estate brokerage, training, property management, as well as real estate consultancy.
In the year-to-date, PropNex shares have generated a total return of 19.4%, outperforming total returns of 12.1% and 12.6% for the benchmark Straits Times Index and broader FTSE ST All-Share Index respectively.
As a testament to its service levels, PropNex has won numerous accolades from government bodies and industry authorities, including the Top Real Estate Agency and Influential Brand Winner 2015 award, as well as Best Real Estate Marketing Idea 2017 Award by the ASEAN Real Estate Network Alliance.
The Group holds leading positions in the real estate industry. In FY2018, PropNex handled 42.4% of total units transacted in the primary private residential market, 34.2% of total units transacted in the private residential resale market, and 50.3% of total units transacted in the HDB resale market, data from Frost & Sullivan showed.
Beyond the city-state, it has a growing foothold in Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam, with a combined overseas presence of more than 1,400 sales professionals across 18 offices.
That's not all - the Group intends to expand its geographical reach every year, focusing on key ASEAN markets. "We aim to open a new regional office each year if possible, by finding the right partner," Ismail said.
But each regional presence is not just a showcase. "We don't subscribe to the idea of opening overseas offices as a way of demonstrating expansion," he noted.
"For every overseas market we penetrate, we have clear key performance indicators to fulfill. We want PropNex to be a market leader in that country within five years of operations."
More Than Middlemen
To differentiate itself from competitors, PropNex focuses on educating and empowering both its sales staff and customers, Ismail said. Its proprietary training programmes, which equip its salesforce with relevant know-how to navigate the real estate market, have seen participation from more than 30,000 attendees to-date.
The Group was also the industry pioneer of consumer education seminars in 2013. These regular forums, which provide insights and perspectives, as well as highlight trends in the private residential market, help consumers make informed buying decisions.
Known as the "champion" in the industry for training its sales professionals, PropNex continually repackages and refreshes its development curricula. It offers customised training for staff, such as targeting different market segments and zones, including a "Lux" team that specialises in high-end residential projects.
"We aim to train our salespeople to be more than just middlemen - grooming them into consultants, so they can play instrumental roles in helping the customer develop a good understanding of the market, as he journeys from asset accumulation and enhancement towards a better retirement," Ismail noted.
The Group is also forging ahead by riding the waves of digital disruption. It employs online platforms, data analytics and proprietary technology systems to help its salespeople boost value-added services to their customers. These include a co-broker app that external agents can log into to track various stages of a property deal so as to reduce paperwork, as well as one that allows buyers to browse current real estate listings.
"Rather than fear technology, we harness it to our advantage," he added.
This principle dovetails with the Group's relentless pursuit of continuous improvement. "There's no such thing as 'we have arrived', or we have learned everything there is to learn," Ismail said.
"We can never rest on our laurels because there will be new challenges ahead."
Resilient Market
"While the cooling measures are a setback, they're part and parcel of the real estate sector, and we're not impacted in the same way as construction firms, developers or REITs."
A case in point is the domestic property market, which is still grappling with oversupply after the government implemented its latest round of cooling measures - including higher buyer stamp duties and tighter loan limits - last July.
Singapore's private home prices rebounded to a five-year high in the second quarter, after falling for two straight quarters. The private residential property index rose 1.3% in the April-June period, according to flash estimates from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), reversing declines of 0.7% and 0.1% in the March and December quarters respectively.
In May, private home sales surged almost 30% from the previous month, as a rising stockpile of unsold units from earlier property launches spurred developers to cut prices, creating what analysts described as a classic buyers' market. According to URA data, 952 private housing units were sold in May, with 1,394 new units launched in the month. In comparison, only 444 new units were launched in April, with a total of 735 units sold that month.
"Although we saw weaker home sales in the first quarter of the year due to a sustained impact from last year's cooling measures, the Singapore residential market remains resilient," Ismail noted.
"Foreign investors, who continue to view Singapore as a haven for property investments, remain very keen to take up new units because of the attractive prices."
The domestic en bloc or collective sale market - created between 2017 and 2018 - remains huge, with a large number of owners looking for replacement homes. Robust demand from HDB upgraders - as their flats reach the five-year minimum occupation period - is also expected, he added.
"That's why we've seen such a strong rebound in sales volumes in March, which indicates that buyers and investors are feeling more confident about entering the market again."
Essentially, PropNex's business model is "enviable"- one that is evergreen and asset-light, with strong free cash flows.
"Being in the service industry, we don't require huge capital investments - all we need is a well-trained salesforce that can provide value-added services to owners and developers," he pointed out.
"While the cooling measures are a setback, they're part and parcel of the real estate sector, and we're not impacted in the same way as construction firms, developers or REITs," he noted, referring to real estate investment trusts.
Real estate services are required when wedding bells ring, as most married couples will want a home of their own, or in cases of divorce, as the couple dispose of shared assets to go their separate ways.
"When families expand and children arrive, couples will want to upgrade their properties. For families facing economic difficulties, they may want to downgrade to smaller and cheaper homes to boost cash reserves. In every instance, our services are required," he added.
No Middle Ground
Likewise, the strength of PropNex's brand and its market leadership position - thanks to the Group's unwavering focus on people - bodes well for the future.
In 2000, PropNex was the first in the industry to implement a dual-career path for its sales professionals - a commission scheme that gives team leaders a share of the company's profits. This model was subsequently adopted by industry peers.
Six years later, it introduced a pension plan for team leaders to enhance and protect their welfare, and in 2013, rolled out a spouse protection scheme, where in the event of a team leader's death, his family would be taken care of until the year when the deceased would have turned 60 years old.
"At PropNex, it's all about building our people - taking care of them so they can go out and achieve all that they've set out to achieve," Ismail noted.
"This has always been PropNex's mantra: The day when the company fails to add value to its people, is the day that its people should leave elsewhere, for the sake of their loved ones."
Another touchstone is adherence to a professional code of ethics. In 2008, PropNex required all its agents to buy professional indemnity insurance for themselves, which protects the rights of their customers in the event of professional negligence, omissions or breaches of duty. The move was ahead of its time and costly - PropNex had to terminate 2,800 out of over 7,000 agents because they refused to take up the insurance.
"That was the right thing to do at the time, so we did it," Ismail recalled.
It was only in 2010 that the industry regulator - the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA), a statutory board formed under the Ministry of National Development - made it mandatory for all estate agents and salespersons to be covered by professional indemnity insurance.
"I'm not someone who prays to money, and money can blind you," he noted. "If you pray to money, you will cut corners, and if you cut corners, you will not be guided by your core values."
"There's no middle ground in PropNex - either you love to work for us or you won't survive here," he added.
The 56-year-old is equally uncompromising when it comes to parenting his three children - a daughter, 21, and 15-year-old twins, a girl and boy.
The values of discipline and accountability are inculcated through specific home routines that include the assigning of household chores, restricting screen time to about two-and-a-half hours per day and fixed monthly allowances.
"If you're brought up to have the right attitude and good values like hard work and self-discipline, these will supersede all other aspects of your life, including your background," he added.
"This is a sure formula for success in life."

In my mind she was shaking, visibly weak at the knees and clinging with both hands to my jacket lapels in a desperate attempt to keep herself steady. In my mind her eyes were wild with anguish, pleading me to stay with her with everything inside her, more vulnerable than I'd ever seen her before. I imagined the first fat tear drops welling in her magnificent, shining eyes and spilling chaotically onto her smooth cheeks, dripping pathetically off the tip of her nose and pooling around her mouth. I wished so much for her to cry, to bawl, with her mouth open like a child, wailing and spluttering and snorting. I wanted her this way not just because it would be a novel spectacle, but because I wanted to react with coldness, to avoid her eye contact or, better, to stare coolly back without sympathy. I would, and very slowly for effect, take her hands in mine and steady her, and watch the hope grow in those fragile eyes, only to let them go, watch her arms fall limply to her sides and then turn and walk from the room without a backwards glance. Perhaps I would say goodbye, in as brief and emotionless tone as possible, or perhaps I would say nothing at all. Either way, I would hear her crumple as I strolled down the corridor.
In reality I couldn't look at her for fear I would break down. And I knew she was looking at me with one neat eyebrow raised, a mixture of slight disgust and pity contorting her perfectly angular features. I turned to face the window but I could hardly see beyond the glass; my eyes seemed to glaze over and I couldn't find the energy to pull the world back into focus. There was a strange ringing in my head and I wondered if she was saying anything. I tried to picture her again, almost to her knees with guilt, but the picture wasn't as strong as before. Then I heard her voice, and it almost made me wince it was so piercing, a burning blade slicing cleanly through the fog swirling in my brain.
"You can't avoid everything you know," she said. Her tone was somehow both condescending and aggressive, and I could tell she was annoyed and impatient with me. She wasn't fond of people showing emotion in front of her; I knew a lot of people who called her heartless because of this, but I knew it was just because she wasn't sure how to deal with it, and I knew she hated being unsure about anything. I took a deep breath, exhaling a sigh in response to try and calm myself down so I could talk with her again, but I still didn't trust my voice not to crack if I tried to speak. "Look, I'm- I'm sorry." It was the bluntest apology I'd ever heard, and it made a spark of anger flare up inside my gut. I turned to face her, as defiantly as I could, but her expression remained the same and I knew she would deem any attempt at aggression pathetic.
"You're sorry? Well, fantastic," I responded. As I had predicted, my voice cracked halfway through the last word and I felt my cheeks burn red with embarrassment at my failed attempt at sarcasm. Tears sprung to my eyes. I swallowed hard and blinked a few times, trying to keep my composure. I couldn't fall apart in front of her. A dull ache started in my right shoulder; my whole body had been tensed for the past hour and I was exhausted. I didn't know what else to say. There was a large part of me that desperately wanted her to leave so I could scream into a pillow or cry for a few hours or vent my frustration in any way I could so that I could do this properly and calmly, so that I could convince her to stay with me. Of course, if she left now she would never come back. We both knew this; it hung in the air around us, heavy on my shoulders, scratching at my wrists and lingering on the back of my neck.
"I'm not good for you," she murmured, and her softened tone of voice was enough to make me look up into those deep, clear eyes, the colour of an ocean I longed to drown in. Her lips were slightly parted, and in my mind I crossed the space between us in two strides, pulled her close and kissed them. I imagined her body stiffening at first and then melting, her arms snaking around my body and grasping at my hair, kissing me back like she needed me, like she was so desperate for me to want her that she would try her hardest to become a part of me. Instead, she took a step back, a step closer to the door, a step away from me. "I'm not good for you," she repeated, even more quietly than before, and as I watched her I could have sworn I saw a sparkle of a tear in her eye. What she said was true. She had hurt me, she had lied to me and used me and betrayed me in every way it is possible for one person to betray another. And still, I loved her.
"I love you," I told her, and I knew my voice sounded childish and irritating. Her expression only shifted a fraction, to make way for an inch more pity. With those words I suddenly felt utterly helpless, and she knew it. She knew that all she had to do was walk forwards, stroke my cheek or maybe brush a stray hair from my face, and tell me she would stay, and I would be hers again, ready to be used and hurt and lied to all over again. I was ready for it. I licked my lips and tasted the hesitation that now seeped from her skin like perfume. I took one, tentative step forwards. She blinked.
"Goodbye," she said, her ocean-deep eyes visibly becoming cold and invulnerable once more. She lingered for maybe a moment more. A moment in which I could have rushed to her and grabbed her hand, fallen to my knees and begged her to stay just one more moment. A moment in which I should have shouted that I hated her for what she'd done to me, for turning me into this weak, sniveling, whingeing idiot who depended on her so much that I would collapse completely without her. But the moment passed, and I watched as she turned and walked out of the door.

As long as I know, SSL between SOCKS-DeleGate has not been implemented yet
because there has no such request, and I have a little hesitation over the
specification. SSL can be applied to the whole of SOCKS protocol or it can
be applied only to the application protocol as the payload. Maybe it should
follow the convension of STLS in DeleGate-DeleGate connection (by MASTER).
That is, to apply TLS to the whole SOCKS protocol, specify as this:
I implemented it in 9.2.4-pre8 and uploaded. It can be used as this:
hosta% delegated -P9999 STLS=fsv SERVER=socks SOCKS=hostb:9999
hostb% delegated -P9999 STLS=fcl SERVER=socks
The modification to support STLS=fsv was like the enclosed patch.
# p.s. you can cope with it with older versions by inserting Tcprelay-
# DeleGate just as a SSL wrapper like this:
# hosta% delegated -P9999 SERVER=socks SOCKS=localhost:9998
# hosta% delegated -P9998 STLS=fsv SERVER=tcprelay://hostb:9999
# hostb% delegated -P9999 STLS=fcl SERVER=socks

Prepare an Ubuntu virtual machine for Azure
Ubuntu now publishes official Azure VHDs for download at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/. If you need to build your own specialized Ubuntu image for Azure, rather than use the manual procedure below it is recommended to start with these known working VHDs and customize as needed. The latest image releases can always be found at the following locations:
- Ubuntu 12.04/Precise: ubuntu-12.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vhd.zip
- Ubuntu 14.04/Trusty: ubuntu-14.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vhd.zip
- Ubuntu 16.04/Xenial: ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.vmdk
- Ubuntu 18.04/Bionic: bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.vmdk
- Ubuntu 18.10/Cosmic: cosmic-server-cloudimg-amd64.vhd.zip
This article assumes that you have already installed an Ubuntu Linux operating system to a virtual hard disk. Multiple tools exist to create .vhd files, for example a virtualization solution such as Hyper-V. For instructions, see Install the Hyper-V Role and Configure a Virtual Machine.
Ubuntu installation notes
- Please see also General Linux Installation Notes for more tips on preparing Linux for Azure.
- The VHDX format is not supported in Azure, only fixed VHD. You can convert the disk to VHD format using Hyper-V Manager or the convert-vhd cmdlet.
- When installing the Linux system it is recommended that you use standard partitions rather than LVM (often the default for many installations). This will avoid LVM name conflicts with cloned VMs, particularly if an OS disk ever needs to be attached to another VM for troubleshooting. LVM or RAID may be used on data disks if preferred.
- Do not configure a swap partition on the OS disk. The Linux agent can be configured to create a swap file on the temporary resource disk. More information about this can be found in the steps below.
- All VHDs on Azure must have a virtual size aligned to 1MB. When converting from a raw disk to VHD you must ensure that the raw disk size is a multiple of 1MB before conversion. See Linux Installation Notes for more information.
Manual steps
Before attempting to create your own custom Ubuntu image for Azure, please consider using the pre-built and tested images from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ instead.
In the center pane of Hyper-V Manager, select the virtual machine.
Click Connect to open the window for the virtual machine.
Replace the current repositories in the image to use Ubuntu's Azure repository. The steps vary slightly depending on the Ubuntu version.
Before editing
/etc/apt/sources.list, it is recommended to make a backup:
# sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
Ubuntu 12.04:
# sudo sed -i 's/[a-z][a-z].archive.ubuntu.com/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list # sudo apt-get update
Ubuntu 14.04:
# sudo sed -i 's/[a-z][a-z].archive.ubuntu.com/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list # sudo apt-get update
Ubuntu 16.04:
# sudo sed -i 's/[a-z][a-z].archive.ubuntu.com/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list # sudo apt-get update
The Ubuntu Azure images are now following the hardware enablement (HWE) kernel. Update the operating system to the latest kernel by running the following commands:
Ubuntu 12.04:
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-trusty linux-cloud-tools-generic-lts-trusty # sudo apt-get install hv-kvp-daemon-init (recommended) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # sudo reboot
Ubuntu 14.04:
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install linux-image-virtual-lts-vivid linux-lts-vivid-tools-common # sudo apt-get install hv-kvp-daemon-init (recommended) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # sudo reboot
Ubuntu 16.04:
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 linux-cloud-tools-generic-hwe-16.04 (recommended) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # sudo reboot
Ubuntu 18.04.04:
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 # sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-cloud-tools-generic-hwe-18.04 (recommended) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # sudo reboot
See also:
Modify the kernel boot line for Grub to include additional kernel parameters for Azure. To do this open
/etc/default/grubin a text editor, find the variable called
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT(or add it if needed) and edit it to include the following parameters:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk=ttyS0,115200 rootdelay=300"
Save and close this file, and then run
sudo update-grub. This will ensure all console messages are sent to the first serial port, which can assist Azure technical support with debugging issues.
Ensure that the SSH server is installed and configured to start at boot time. This is usually the default.
Install the Azure Linux Agent:
# sudo apt-get update # sudo apt-get install walinuxagent
walinuxagentpackage may remove the
NetworkManager-gnomepackages, if they are installed.
Run the following commands to deprovision the virtual machine and prepare it for provisioning on Azure:
# sudo waagent -force -deprovision # export HISTSIZE=0 # logout
Click Action -> Shut Down in Hyper-V Manager. Your Linux VHD is now ready to be uploaded to Azure.
Ubuntu hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
Next steps
You're now ready to use your Ubuntu Linux virtual hard disk to create new virtual machines in Azure. If this is the first time that you're uploading the .vhd file to Azure, see Create a Linux VM from a custom disk.

Linzi Mitchell left mum-of-four Sonia Hailes with horrific facial injuries after the fellow mum refused to invite her to her home after the party, the victim said.
The court was told Mitchell, 32, was drunk and out of control, and had started arguing with people at an event at a Tyneside cricket club.
She then ended up in a struggle with Ms Hailes, during which they pulled each other's hair, the court heard.
Mitchell then picked up a wine glass and struck her in the face with it, causing it to break and cut her around her eye. Ms Hailes said the attack happened moments after she refused to invite Mitchell to her home.
The 32-year-old, who admitted wounding, was given a suspended prison sentence and unpaid work, according to Chronicle Live.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the 36-year-old victim has been left with permanent damage to her tear duct and her eye constantly waters.
Vince Ward, prosecuting, said the women were among those to have gathered at Blaydon Cricket Club, in Gateshead, on July 21 to celebrate children graduating from primary school.
Mr Ward said shortly after 11pm, Mitchell spoke to Ms Hailes outside the venue and the defendant was "clearly drunk and emotional".
He said: "Shortly after that the defendant became involved in an argument with somebody else in Ms Hailes' group and then Ms Hailes and the defendant became involved in their own argument."
He continued: "That broke into violence and both women were pulling at each other's hair. During that violence the defendant picked up a wine glass and struck Ms Hailes as she flailed around with it. It struck her in the face, breaking on impact."
Ms Hailes, who suffered permanent damage to her tear duct as a result of the attack, told the court her eye "constantly waters" and she has to bathe her eye in the morning before she can open it.
She said she doesn't feel safe at home and is looking to move, adding: "My entire life has been turned upside down as a result of the assault. I'm surprised my partner is still with me. Everything has changed for me."
Defending Sue Hirst said the incident was "wholly out of character" for Mitchell, and added that she is now drinking less since the attack.
Mitchell, of Eden Dale, Crawcrook, Gateshead, who has no previous convictions, admitted unlawful wounding and was sentenced to 15 months suspended for two years with 120 hours unpaid work and a 25 day curfew between 8pm and 7am.
Speaking previously of the attack, Sonia Hailes – who attended the party at Blaydon Cricket Club in Gateshead with daughter Amber, 12, and partner Beth, 27 – said Mitchell approached her despite not knowing her and was angered when she was not allowed back to Ms Hailes' house for another drink.
Ms Hailes had invited a friend but chose not to include Mitchell as "she was a stranger and she looked like she had had enough to drink."
Mitchell then grabbed Sonia by her hair and hit her in the face with a glass when she tried to get away, she said.
Ms Hailes said: "It's just totally horrendous that this could happen at a childrens' party."
"It's something you would expect to happen at a nightclub, but you expect to be safe at a kids' party.
"I don't understand how someone can think they have got the right to smash a glass in somebody's face."
Ms Hailes was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, but was then transferred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle to be treated by an eye specialist.
The cuts around her eye were stitched up and she suffered permanent damage to her tear duct, but she says the emotional scars will take longer to heal, adding: "I have good and bad days."
"I have been left with a permanent injury and the constant watering is a constant reminder.
"I got told that if it had been another two millimetres to the left I could have lost my eye.
"It's had a big impact on my daughter too. For a few weeks after she wouldn't look at me in the face and couldn't look me in the eye."

This isn't a list of what you'll need to be able to sit down without wincing or to help your milk come in…its so much better than that!
When I was pregnant with Gigi the preparation was all about the nursery, putting the Bugaboo together (thank god for YouTube!), washing all the baby clothes…but there was one thing I neglected – ME!
So this time around (we mostly had all the things Blake would need, and we were relying on lovely friends to gift us boys clothes) I made myself a little postpartum goodie bag for when I arrived home from the hospital. I'm so glad I did this, it was such a nice treat!
My goodie bag included;
- Eye masks (Masque Bar)
- Face Mask (Perricone MD)
- Detox Bath Salts (Himalayan Salt)
- Hair Mask (Bleach London)
- Hair Vitamins for new mums (Nanogen)
- Skin Firming Cream (Jergens)
- Postpartum Belt (Tummy Tucker)
- Sleep Spray (Neom)
Since doing it for myself, I have been thinking it would also make a great gift for any new mum, you can put anything you like in a gift bag to help her through those hideous first few weeks!

Cloud Storage for Backups
- Cyberduck File Manager
- Installing Supload
- Duplicity Installation and Setup
- Rclone Installation and Setup
- Backing Up WordPress Sites
One of the most common uses for storage services is storing backups. To help facilitate this, Selectel Cloud Storage is compatible with many different backup storage utilities.
To store a backup, open Cloud Storage in the control panel and create a private container (instructions). Private containers require authentication.
When uploading files to storage, it's best to create an additional user with minimum privileges; this is merely a fail-safe as primary users always have full access.
Cyberduck File Manager
Cyberduck is a popular FTP and SFTP client for Windows, MacOS, and Linux that supports the most popular protocols, including FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and AmazonS3. The software can also be used to manage various cloud storage services.
Installing Cyberduck GUI
We've created a Cyberduck profile specially for our Cloud Storage clients. This profile uses Swift instead of FTP, which improves the overall quality of work.
To load the profile:
- Download our profile.
- Install the client, copying the Selectel profile to the profiles folder (the default location for this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberduck\profiles).
- Launch Cyberduck and click Open Connection.
- Choose the Selectel Cloud Storage profile.
- Fill in the Selectel ID:Username field with:
- Selectel ID (1) - this is your login to the Selectel control panel
- Username (2) - this is your Cloud Storage user name
Please note that the user name and password are set by the account owner and can be found in the control panel under Cloud Storage → Users.
- Enter your password in the Password field.
- Click Connect.
A connection to Cloud Storage will be established and a list of your available containers will be displayed in the new window.
Cyberduck GUI can be installed on MacOS from the Appstore.
- Download our profile and choose Selectel Cloud Storage as your Cyberduck connection.
- Fill in the Selectel ID:Username field with:
- Selectel ID - this is your login to the Selectel control panel
- Username - this is your Cloud Storage user name
- Enter your password in the Password field.
- Click Connect.
This will open a window displaying your available containers.
There is no Cyberduck GUI available for Linux.
Installing Cyberduck Console Clients
Cyberduck CLI can be installed from the Chocolatey package manager.
Enter the command
choco install duck
Download the latest version of the MSI installer from the link (https://dist.duck.sh/). More information can be found at https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/howto/cli#Windows.
To install the Selectel profile, copy the profile to the profiles folder (the default location for this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyberduck CLI\profiles).
Cyberduck CLI for MacOS is installed using the Homebrew package manager:
brew install duck
Here we'll describe the installation process for Ubuntu 16.04; for other distributions, refer to the official documentation.
To install Cyberduck:
1. Add the necessary repositories:
echo 'deb https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.deb.cyberduck.io nightly main' >> /etc/apt/sources.d/cyberduck.list echo 'deb https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.deb.cyberduck.io stable main' >> /etc/apt/sources.d/cyberduck.list
2. Add a key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FE7097963FEFBE72
3. Run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install duck
Basic Console Operations
Download the Selectel profile:
wget wget https://static.selectel.ru/kb/selectel-storage.cyberduckprofile
Create a profiles directory:
mkdir -p .duck/profiles
Move the Selectel profile to the profiles directory:
mv 'selectel-storage.cyberduckprofile' .duck/profiles/
All of the commands for working with Selectel Cloud Storage look as follows:
duck -<argument> selectel://<container name> --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
To view a list of all possible arguments, enter:
duck --help
Retrieving a Container's File List
To retrieve a list of files saved in a container, use the -l option (or --list):
duck -l selectel://<container name> --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
The printout will look like this:
1.pdf 2.jpg 3.png
Please note that some Linux systems won't display filenames with non-Latin characters.
Downloading a File
To download a file from the cloud, we use the command:
duck -d selectel://<container name> --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
Opening and Editing a File on the Local Machine
Using Cyberduck CLI, we can open files to edit on the local machine. When we finish editing, the updated file (with all of the changes made) will be uploaded to storage. This is done using the --edit argument:
duck --edit selectel://<container name> --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
The file will be opened by the system's default application for that file type, and the updated file will be uploaded automatically.
This should be useful for users who host their static sites in our storage. To quickly edit a site's text, you just have to run the command, make the desired changes, and save.
Uploading Objects to the Cloud
Objects can be uploaded using the following command:
duck --upload selectel://<container name>/ --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
Please note that the full storage path has to be given in order to upload. For example, if we want to save the file myimage.png to the container 'images', then we have to enter its path as: /images/myimage.png.
Cyberduck can upload large objects (bigger than 2 GB) to the cloud in segments.
Object Versions and Backups
Cyberduck CLI is a convenient tool for making backups and archiving data. We'll look at a few examples to better understand these functions.
Let's say we have a directory on a local machine whose contents should periodically be copied to the cloud. A special script has been written for this and a cron task has been added, which sends backups to the cloud every day at a given time.
The script will look like this:
#!/bin/bash SWIFT_USERNAME=username SWIFT PASSWORD=password for accessing storage SWIFT_AUTH_URL=auth.selcdn.ru BACKUP_PATH=path to backup in storage LOCAL_PATH=path to folder on local machine duck --upload selectel://$SWIFT_USERNAME@$SWIFT_AUTHURL$BACKUP_PATH $LOCAL_PATH --existing rename --password $SWIFT_PASSWORD -q
Look at the syntax of the duck command. In this example, the --existing key is used, which tells the program what to do with the existing files in storage. The rename option renames existing copies by adding the date and time to their name.
Using Cyberduck, we can make and compare backups. This is done using the compare option:
duck --upload selectel://<full path to object in storage> <path to file on local machine> --existing compare --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password>
When executing this command, the program compares the uploaded copy to existing files by size, last modified date, and checksum. If the parameters are different, then the old version gets deleted and the new version is uploaded to storage.
By using the skip option, only new files (i.e. files that have been added to the local folder since the last upload) are uploaded to storage. Existing files won't be uploaded, even if they were changed on the local machine.
Finally, the overwrite option simply deletes the existing backup from storage and uploads the new version.
Synchronizing Local Files with Storage Files
File synchronization is a process that leaves you with two directories with identical sets of the latest files: one on the local machine and one in the cloud. If any files have been changed, added, or deleted on the local machine, then these files will be changed, added to, or deleted from storage, and vice versa.
Synchronization is performed using the command:
duck --synchronize selectel://<container name> --username <Selectel ID>:<Username> --password <password> <path to folder on local machine>
Using the synchronization function, copies of data in storage can be kept up-to-date with those on the local machine.
An example of this script would be:
#!/bin/bash SWIFT_USERNAME=username SWIFT_PASSWORD=password for accessing storage SWIFT_AUTH_URL=auth.selcdn.ru BACKUP_PATH=path to backup in storage LOCAL_PATH=path to folder on local machine duck --synchronize selectel://$SWIFT_USERNAME@SWIFT_AUTHURL$BACKUP_PATH $LOCAL_PATH --password $SWIFT_PASSWORD -q
Just add the corresponding task to cron and data will automatically synchronize at the given interval.
This function is useful for storing static sites in the cloud. To update a site, just make the appropriate changes to files on the local machine and then run the synchronization command.
Copying Files
To copy a file from one container to another, we run the following command:
duck --сopy selectel:// <email@example.com>/<full_path_to_file> <email@example.com>/<path_to_new_location_in_storage> -p <password>
Option -v
To print information in the console on all the HTTP requests that occurred while performing storage operations and their responses, we use the -v (or -verbose) option. This helps us understand how third-party applications interact with storage.
Installing Supload
Supload (GitHub) is a tool specially designed for uploading files to our Cloud Storage.
With supload, you can:
- upload local files to storage
- recursively upload all files in user-defined folders and subfolders
- verify file uploads using checksums
- upload only new and modified files
- automatically delete files from storage
If you have a medium-sized site with a MySQL database, you can configure regular backups by downloading two scripts and configuring the necessary parameters.
To install supload, run:
wget https://raw.github.com/selectel/supload/master/supload.sh mv supload.sh /usr/local/bin/supload chmod +x /usr/local/bin/supload
Making Backups
To make a backup, download and configure the script:
wget https://raw.github.com/selectel/storage/master/utils/sbackup.sh chmod +x sbackup.sh
Open the script sbackup.sh in any text editor and set the following parameters:
- SS_USER — username for accessing storage (the additional user we suggest creating)
- SS_PWD — corresponding user's password
- SS_CONTAINER — name of container where backups will be uploaded to
- TARGET_DIR — path to site files
- BACKUP_DIR — path on server where backups will temporarily be stored
- EXCLUDE_LIST — list of files to exclude from archives
- DB_NAME — name of MySQL database; to backup all existing databases, enter value __ALL__
- DB_USER and DB_PWD — username and password for accessing MySQL
- EMAIL — email where backup reports will be sent (leave blank to disable)
- EMAIL_ONLY_ON_ERROR — if yes, reports will only be sent if a problem/error occurs
- DELETE_BACKUPS_AFTER_UPLOAD — if yes, then backups will be deleted from your temporary folder after a successful upload
- STORAGE_EXPIRE — lets you indicate how many days a backup will be kept in storage before being deleted
To check your script or manually make a backup, run:
The results will be printed in the console.
You can configure regular backups using cron. To do this, move the script to a special directory:
mv sbackup.sh /etc/cron.daily/50_sbackup
Afterwards, cron will automatically launch the archiving script once a day.
Retrieving Backups from Private Containers
Backups can be downloaded from private containers using CyberDuck and special links, without making the container public. After uploading a backup to your server, the data has to be extracted:
mkdir backup_files # extract an archive to the folder backup_files tar xvf backupname_2013-01-26_08h40m.tar.bz2 -C backup_files/ # restore a database (this operation my erase the current contents of the database) bzcat mysql_backupname_ALL_2013-01-26_08h40m.bz2 | mysql
Uploading Files to a Container
To upload a local file (my.doc) to an existing container (files), run the command:
supload -u USERNAME -k USERKEY files my.doc
Data can be uploaded to a specific folder in the container:
supload -u USERNAME -k USERKEY files/docs/ my.doc
In this case, the file's checksum (MD5) is calculated before uploading and the upload will only be considered successful if the checksums match.
To upload all of a folder's contents, use the option -r:
supload -u USERNAME -k USERKEY -r files local/docs/
Checksums will be verified for every file.
Checksum verification offers another advantage: if you launch the utility again and the checksum data of files in storage matches the checksum value of the local files, those file will not be uploaded. This lets you upload only new and modified files.
Deleting Files
Storage supports automatic file deletion and supload lets you specificy how long files should be saved for:
supload -u USERNAME -k USERKEY -d 7d files my.doc
The -d option indicates the time period in minutes (m), hours (h), or days (d) that files should be stored for before being automatically deleted. This option also works for recursive uploads. If a file has already been uploaded, then launching the command again will not change the file's lifespan.
Let's say your archiving system places backups in the folder /var/backups/site/ and assigns the file a lifespan. You can use supload to periodically upload all of your files to storage for a limited time, for example:
supload -u USERNAME -k USERKEY -d 31d -r backups /var/backups/sites
Each newly uploaded backup will be kept in storage for 31 days, and previously uploaded files will gradually expire. Files will automatically be deleted 31 days after they are uploaded. For this setup to work properly, your archiving system must have a shorter storage period than supload, otherwise older files will be uploaded again.
Duplicity Installation and Setup
Duplicity supports various protocols for connecting to file servers: SSH/SCP, FTP, HSI, WebDAV, Tahoe-LAFS, and Amazon S3. It archives data and uploads it onto local or remote file servers and even encrypts it with GnuPG for added security.
Duplicity is included in most official Linux repositories and is installed from the standard package manager. We will be looking at Duplicity in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install duplicity
To access a cloud server on a client machine, the python-swiftclient and librsync packages must be installed:
sudo apt-get install python-swiftclient sudo apt-get install librsync-dev
Now we need to install the swiftbackend plugin. First we clone the appropriate repositories with launchpad (this requires Bazaar as a dependency):
sudo apt-get install bzr bzr branch lp:~mhu-s/duplicity/swiftbackend
Then we run the following command:
cd swiftbackend && sudo python dist/setup.py install
Once Duplicity has been installed, we can access Cloud Storage.
Open a text editor and write a small script for making backups:
# Authorization data for connecting to the cloud export SWIFT_USERNAME="user name" export SWIFT_PASSWORD="cloud storage password" export SWIFT_AUTHURL="https://auth.selcdn.ru" # Archive duplicity /folder path/on client machine swift://container name in cloud # Clear authorization data as security measure unset SWIFT_USERNAME unset SWIFT_USERNAME unset SWIFT_AUTHURL
We'll save this file as backup.sh and make it executable:
chmod +x backup.sh
Afterwards, we run the following command:
Next, GnuPG will ask for the keyword to access our files.
Then the backup process begins. Statistics will be displayed in the console:
----------------------[ Backup statistics ]---------------------- StartTime 1391068911.00 (Thu Jan 30 12:01:51 2014) EndTime 1391068911.02 (Thu Jan 30 12:01:51 2014) ElapsedTime 0.02 (0.02 seconds) SourceFiles 5 SourceFileSize 190210 (186 KB) NewFiles 5 NewFileSize 190210 (186 KB) DeletedFiles 0 ChangedFiles 0 ChangedFileSize 0 (0 bytes) ChangedDeltaSize 0 (0 bytes) DeltaEntries 5 RawDeltaSize 186114 (182 KB) TotalDestinationSizeChange 185217 (181 KB) Errors 0 -----------------------------------------------------------------
New files will be added to the specified container in storage:
To download the encrypted backup from storage onto a local machine, we need to write a script that has the same authorization data as above, but in a slightly different command:
duplicity swift://container name /path/to folder/on local/machine
We'll save this script as restore.sh and make it an executable file.
When we run ./restore.sh, GnuPG will ask for the keyword. After entering it, all of the backed up files will be downloaded to the specified directory on the local machine.
Rclone Installation and Setup
Rclone is a tool for synchronizing data in Cloud Storage and a local machine. It can be used for backups and static sites.
Download links can be found for various operating systems on the download page.
We'll be looking at rclone for Linux. To install, we first have to download the necessary packages and then run:
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip cd rclone-v1.36-linux-amd64 sudo cp rclone /usr/sbin/ sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/rclone sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/rclone sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1 sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/ sudo mandb
Once the installation is complete, we configure rclone for Selectel Cloud Storage:
rclone config
The following dialog will appear in the console:
No remotes found - make a new one n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q>
We choose n and press Enter. Next, we'll need to enter a name for our remote storage connection after name>. We enter a name (like Selectel) and move on to the next step:
name> Selectel Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Amazon Drive \ "amazon cloud drive" 2 / Amazon S3 (also Dreamhost, Ceph, Minio) \ "s3" 3 / Backblaze B2 \ "b2" 4 / Dropbox \ "dropbox" 5 / Encrypt/Decrypt a remote \ "crypt" 6 / Google Cloud Storage (this is not Google Drive) \ "google cloud storage" 7 / Google Drive \ "drive" 8 / Hubic \ "hubic" 9 / Local Disk \ "local" 10 / Microsoft OneDrive \ "onedrive" 11 / Openstack Swift (Rackspace Cloud Files, Memset Memstore, OVH) \ "swift" 12 / SSH/SFTP Connection \ "sftp" 13 / Yandex Disk \ "yandex"
We enter 11 for Swift and press Enter.
Storage> 11
Afterwards, we'll be prompted for our username and password:
User name to log in. user> [username] API key or password. key> [password] Authentication URL for server. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Rackspace US \ "https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0" 2 / Rackspace UK \ "https://lon.auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0" 3 / Rackspace v2 \ "https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0" 4 / Memset Memstore UK \ "https://auth.storage.memset.com/v1.0" 5 / Memset Memstore UK v2 \ "https://auth.storage.memset.com/v2.0" 6 / OVH \ "https://auth.cloud.ovh.net/v2.0"
Selectel Cloud Storage isn't listed, so we'll have to enter the address manually:
auth > https://auth.selcdn.ru/v1.0
The next two points (tenant and region) are optional and can be skipped. The last prompt in the dialog will ask us to verify our configuration:
Remote config -------------------- [selectel] user = your_username key = your_password auth = https://auth.selcdn.ru/v1.0 tenant = user region = -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d>
If all of the information is correct, we select y and press Enter.
Command Syntax
View a list of containers in storage:
rclone lsd selectel:
Create a new container:
rclone mkdir selectel:[container name]
View a list of files in a container:
rclone ls selectel:[container name]
Copy files from the local machine to storage:
rclone copy /home/local/directory
Synchronize files on the local machine with storage:
rclone sync /home/local/directory selectel:[container name]
Synchronize files in storage with the local machine:
rclone selectel:[container name] sync /home/local/directory
When performing copy and synchronization operations, rclone checks each file for the date and time it was last modified or its MD5 checksum. Only modified files are transferred from the source directory.
These are the only commands we'll list here, but anyone interested can look at the official documentation. You can also get information using the command:
rclone --help
The bulk of rclone's functions are available in other tools for working with cloud storage. There is, however, one unique function that is missing from every other tool that we know of: migrating data from one cloud server to another.
We'll look at the following practical use case: we have a folder with photos in Google Drive, and we have to migrate the contents to our Cloud Storage.
First we create a new connection. In the list of available clouds, we choose Google Drive. Afterwards, we have to enter two parameters: client_id and client_secret. We'll leave these blank and press Enter.
Next, we're asked the following question:
Remote config Use auto config? * Say Y if not sure * Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine or Y didn't work y) Yes n) No y/n>
We choose "no" (n). Rclone will generate a link where we can obtain the code:
If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=202264815644.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&response_type=code&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive&state=ac901aefe97aff8ce65fe593060d0b0c Log in and authorize rclone for access
We open this link in our browser and grant rclone access to our files.
Afterwards, the Google Drive API will return a code that we'll have to enter when prompted:
Enter verification code>
The connection to Google Drive has been set up.
To start migration, run the command:
rclone copy [connection name]:[directory name] [selectel]:[container name]
Backing Up WordPress Sites
UpdraftPlus is a simple and easy-to-use plugin for backing up WordPress sites with OpenStack Swift.

Waffle House CEO Walt Ehmer attended the funeral of a customer who, along with three other people including a restaurant employee, was fatally shot by a lone gunman last Sunday morning. CNN reported that DeEbony Groves was laid to rest on April 28 after being shot. When addressing the congregation who had gathered to pay their last respects, Ehmer recalled what the survivors told him about the 21-year-old woman's final words.
Groves apparently made quite an impression on those who were dining in the Nashville restaurant in the wee hours of April 22. Ehmer said that in her final moments, the young woman reflected on her faith and sang gospel songs until she took her last breath.
"And (they) spoke of your daughter and her friend, and said they were singing gospel songs," Ehmer said. "And everybody was singing and enjoying each other and she said, 'The last thing I remember her saying was, singing Jesus Loves Me.'"
The Belmont University senior was dining with her friend, Akilah DaSilva, after being out socializing with her sorority sisters of Delta Sigma Theta. DaSilva, along with Joe R. Perez and Taurean C. Sanderlin, were all murdered. Sanderlin was a Waffle House employee and Ehmer planned to attend his funeral soon after the Groves service the same day.
Ehmer said that he could offer nothing in the way of solace to the family after such a tragic loss, but the Waffle House family was hurting for them and with them. He acknowledged that the community is strong in its faith and that he believed the Groves family to be no different.
After a widespread manhunt, police believe they have taken the shooter into custody. Travis Reinking was arrested and charged with four counts of criminal homicide, four counts of attempted murder, and one count of unlawful gun possession in the commission of a violent felony, CNN reported.
The 29-year-old is said to have a history of mental illness with prior arrests including one for trespassing at the White House. Reinking allegedly went on his killing spree at the Waffle House wearing nothing more than a coat.
James Shaw Jr. was struck by a bullet while he hid from the gunman in the hallway that led to the restaurant's bathrooms. He decided, at that moment, that his only chance for survival was to go on the offensive. When he believed that the shooter had stopped to reload his weapon, Shaw charged at him and wrestled the gun away from him. He tossed the gun behind the bar and then fled to safety.
Authorities said that Reinking went home, put on a pair of pants, and then went on the run from police. Some 35 hours later, a woman saw Reinking near a construction site in Antioch and alerted authorities.

I replied 'The political groups are no longer welcome', which as a native English speaker I think is the most natural translation. (Duo accepted this.)
Speaking as another native speaker I'd have to say that "Political groups are no longer welcome" is at least as, if not more, natural sounding, at least to my ears.

The massive red block for incorrect answers still makes it impossible for me to compare what I typed with the answer. The new format is disappointing and not conducive to my learning. A tiny red dot would be sufficient to convey that the answer was incorrect. I need to be able to see what I typed in order to figure out where the error lies.

Anyone else find the way duolingo says gruppen really vague and non-understandable?
Really, a better translation would be that the groups are "welcome no more." "No more welcome" is very strange to my native English ears.
Would "Die politischen Gruppen sind nicht langer willkommen" be a better way to say this?

You can't have 2 listeners listening on the same IP/Port configuration. Meaning, you can't listen to port 21 for FTP and add an FTPS listener to the same port.
You will have to decide which listens on what Port, and have the TP connect to that IP/Port combination.

My thought was to add a 2nd listener configured for port 21, but when I have 2 listeners in there I get a message that states "configure default SSL". I don't see anything that says you can/should set a default of my two listeners. Any thoughts or comments on this are appreciated.I could be a bit late on this one but...
It sounds to me like they want to use Explicit rather than Implicit, Services will allow this type of connection without changing the ports or adding another listener.
If you go to the FTP Listener in Services (Administration > Service Manager > Pencil Icon) you will see a section for Explicit SSL under the default listnerer, Just select your SSL certificate so it isn't using the default and restart the FTP Service.
To test your configuration you can use Filezilla (which is free) and put ftpes://YOUR_HOST in the Host field then your Username and Password and set the port to 21. If everything is good you will see a popup with your certificate information click OK and try uploading a file.
