Tweaking Ubuntu 10.04
I had upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). Now I wanted to make some adjustments. For this purpose, I would be drawing upon the first and second lists of adjustments I had made when I had installed 9.10.
The first of those other things was to install a PAE-enabled 10.04 kernel, so that I would have access to all of my system's RAM. I also found that VMware Workstation 7.0 was requiring me to enter my serial number. I had not entered it after installing it on 9.10; I had just been using the trial serial number. Now, unfortunately, Workstation was not cooperating: it was saying "Unknown error entering serial number." The solution to this problem was to run Workstation as root (i.e., type "sudo vmware" at the Terminal prompt) and enter the serial number there.
Since I was doing an upgrade of a previous installation, I did not have to reinstall packages, but I did have a problem with Software Sources. I have described that one in a separate post. (Even if I had needed to reinstall packages, the "installed-software" trick described in the lists of adjustments (above) would have made short work of it.) On my laptop, I was doing the same upgrade, and there I made some problems for myself when I had to interrupt the upgrade. Here on the desktop, the next task was (as described in separate posts) to try to get the printing and scanning features of my Brother MFC-7340 printer working from within Ubuntu. After doing that, I tackled a problem that I had wanted to solve for years: how to import the list of AutoCorrect entries that I had created in Microsoft Word into OpenOffice.org Writer, running on Ubuntu. That took some time, but then I was able to get back to the project of working through those notes from previous installations.
The upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 had preserved much of the configuration I had already set up. So as I worked through the Ubuntu tweaking steps described in one of my previous posts, I had to deal with only a fraction of the issues addressed there. One was to prevent icons for mounted drives from appearing on the desktop. That called for Terminal: "gconf-editor" > /apps/nautilus/desktop > unclick volumes_visible. But it was already unclicked, and yet I did have icons for mounted drives visible on the desktop. I went into Applications > System Tools > Ubuntu Tweak > Desktop Icon Settings and clicked Show desktop icons and left everything else unchecked, but this made no difference. I tried again, this time using "sudo gconf-editor." Ah, yes. The volumes_visible box was checked for root. Unchecking it removed the icons from the desktop.
I had not noticed, but somewhere along the line, I had evidently installed nautilus-open-terminal via Synaptic, or possibly it came installed by default. As its name suggested, this tool added a right-click (context menu) option in Nautilus, "Open in Terminal." Unlike Windows Explorer, this option was only available for folders in the file listing in Nautilus -- in the right pane, that is, not in the left pane that would typically show the folder tree. In that left pane, this and other options were absent.
Had another little problem. During the upgrade to 10.04, the Firefox icon changed, on the left-side (formerly top) panel, to a red do-not-enter or not-allowed kind of icon; and in Applications > Internet, it changed to a grey question-mark box. I fixed this by going to the panel, right-clicking on Applications > Edit Menus > Internet > Firefox > Properties, clicking on the icon, and selecting /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png. Speaking of Firefox, I wanted Ubuntu to open Firefox and Google Chrome on startup. I wanted to add these to a script that would run at startup, since I suspected that I would be coming up with other things that I wanted to have happen at startup too. It seemed pretty technical – beyond my current ability, anyway – but it looked like I might be able to just write a script and put it into /etc./init.d. I typed "sudo gedit" and then created a file called /etc./init.d/a_startup_script.sh. I put, into it, the line that I got from e.g., right-clicking on Applications and choosing Edit Menus > Applications > Internet > Firefox > Properties: "firefox %u." I saved it and typed "chmod +x /etc./init.d/a_startup_script.sh." Then I rebooted. This achieved nothing. So creating a general-purpose startup script remained a goal for the future.
I also went down Gizmo's Freeware list of tweaks. I had already done most of the ones I wanted, but there were a few others. One was to install Windows TrueType fonts in Ubuntu. I decided to extend their advice somewhat. I took a look at System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts. I could see that a lot of Windows fonts were not present on the list there. So in Windows XP, I went to C:\Windows\Fonts. I selected and copied everything to another, temporary folder called UbuFonts. In UbuFonts, I sorted by file type and deleted the ones that were not TTF files. Back in Ubuntu, I typed "sudo nautilus" and went to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. It already had a folder called msttcorefonts, but with only a fraction of the fonts that I had just copied from C:\Windows\Fonts to UbuFonts, and the font files there seemed older and smaller. I made a backup copy of the msttcorefonts folder and then copied everything from UbuFonts into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts. Now System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts had a much wider selection. I changed the fonts to Tahoma 10 and the monospace to Courier 10. Tahoma allowed me to see more information on each line onscreen.
Another tweak from Gizmo called for some playing around with Compiz. This was a bad idea, as described in a separate post. Another tweak of interest was to clean up the GRUB boot menu. I typed "uname -r" and saw that I was using the 2.6.32-22-generic-pae kernel. In Synaptic, I searched for linux-image, clicked at the top of the left-hand column to sort by those that were installed, and marked for removal all numbered items other than that kernel. In this case, that included just two items: linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic-pae and linux-image-2.6.32-22.generic (i.e., not pae). I did another search for linux-headers and marked all non-2.6.32-22-generic-pae items there too. In this case, trying to remove linux-headers-2.6.32-22 threatened to remove linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic-pae as well; but I wanted to keep that, so I didn't remove linux-headers-2.6.32-22. On restart, I saw that GRUB now listed just the 2.6.32-22-generic-pae kernel and its recovery mode, along with memtest and Windows XP (it was a dual-boot machine). I went back into Ubuntu without a problem. I did later have a VMware problem that might have been related to this, though.
Gizmo also pointed me toward a number of recommended freeware apps. These were for the KDE (not GNOME) desktop. I thought it might be time to try KDE, if only to check out these programs. One was the Wally wallpaper changer, which I installed through Synaptic. Getting Wally (and the whole KDE desktop) involved a total of 91 files. Other interesting pieces of Gizmo-recommended software I got through Synaptic: gtk-recordMyDesktop and Dolphin file manager. Downloaded directly from creators' websites, I got Wink, FreeFile Sync, and Parted Magic. I did consider using Dropbox as well, because of its good reviews (by e.g., PC Magazine, Online Backup Tools, Laptop, and alternativeTo; but I decided that Windows Live Sync had important advantages even though I would have to run it in a virtual machine when I was booted into Ubuntu.
(Note: a few days later -- possibly the first time I tried it after installing KDE -- Google Desktop search was no longer responding to its default Ctrl-Ctrl hotkey. That is, its Quick Search Box was not coming up. Something I saw on some webpage, as I was trying to fix that problem, made me wonder whether the KDE installation was to blame. A tip that fixed it was to open the Google Desktop Search preferences and change the hotkey to Ctrl-F1.)
The last thing to do, in this round of tweaking, was to clean out unnecessary stuff from the drive on which I had installed Ubuntu, so that I could make a backup image in case I needed to reinstall – so that I could just restore the image, that is, instead of having to go back through all these steps. This, I thought, called for something like the TreeSize utility that I had used in Windows to see where I might have files or folders taking up huge amounts of space. Among what seemed to be several possibilities, I found an actual Linux version of TreeSize, so I downloaded that – but I also discovered Ubuntu's Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer, whose Treemap Chart was especially interesting. These revealed that my Ubuntu installation was not presently very large, so I didn't have to worry too much about shrinking it for this particular image. It also revealed that by far the largest space hog, within that installation, was the Google Desktop index of stuff on my hard drive, at 5.2GB. I did see that the Google Chrome cache was also taking 400MB. I went into Chrome's Settings (the wrench icon at the upper-right corner) > Options but didn't see any way to control that, other than to just clear the cache. I decided to leave it for now, and changed some other settings while I was there. And that was it. Ubuntu 10.04 was tweaked, at least for now.

Most deaths occur either in hospital, a hospice, a nursing home or at home where the deceased has been under the care of a palliative team. These account for approximately 80% of all deaths.
In these circumstances, the doctor will issue a Certificate of Cause of Death to the next of kin, who must then take this to the Registrar of Deaths in the area where the deceased person died. It is best to telephone the Registrars to see if it is necessary to make an appointment to register.
There are some instances (e.g. sudden death, a road traffic or industrial accident and certain industrially related diseases) when the death must be reported to the Coroner. The Coroner will carry out a Post-Mortem to establish the cause of death. If the cause of death cannot be established by Post-Morten then the Coroner will open and adjourn an inquest which will be heard at a later date. Once the inquest has been opened and adjourned the Coroner will release the deceased person to the family so that funeral arrangements may be made.
We can offer further advice on the above by telephone on 020 7405 4901.

Actress Laura Smet laid bare the tensions inside France's first family of showbiz, revealing that she had long been forced to call and meet her father in secret.
Hallyday's death in December of lung cancer plunged France into mourning, and brought hundreds of thousands of his fans onto the streets of Paris for his funeral in scenes not seen since the death of Edith Piaf.
Smet said she was "stupefied and hurt" after learning that she and her half-brother David — the singer's only two biological children — had been left nothing by the "French Elvis".
Instead, all of Hallyday's wealth and the rights to his catalogue will eventually go to the girls he and Laeticia adopted in Vietnam, Jade and Joy.
In a statement to AFP, Laeticia said that she had "learned of the media furore around her husband's estate with disgust".
In an open letter seen by AFP, Smet, 34, exploded the myth of the "united front" that Hallyday's extended family managed to maintain for the huge "people's tribute" at his funeral, where French President Emmanuel Macron called him a "national hero".
She also strongly hinted that Laeticia, a 42-year-old former model, prevented her from seeing her father before he died aged 74.
"It is still killing me not to have been able to say goodbye to you, Papa — do you know that at least?" Smet wrote.
"So many questions without answers. All those times when we had to hide to see and call each other," she added.
Yet "I found out a couple of days ago that you have rewritten your will to totally disinherit David and me."
– Heart-rending letter –
"It was only a few weeks ago that we were having a meal together and you said to me, 'So when are you going to have a child?'
"But what can I tell that child about you, someone whom I have admired so much?" she asked.
Responding to the storm, Laeticia added that she was "calm and will not stop devoting all her energy to ensuring the work and memory of her husband are respected".
Smet's lawyers said David Hallyday, whose mother was 1960s pop star Sylvie Vartan, was also contesting the "rewritten" will which was made in California — where Hallyday spent much of his later life — under the American state's law.
Unlike in France where the right of children to inheritance is protected, California law says "anyone can disinherit anyone including children," Beti Tsai Bergman, a Los Angeles lawyer specialising in inheritance, told AFP.
The legal websites Nolo.com and Findlaw.com also say that "generally, children have no right to inherit anything from their parents" except in certain limited circumstances. These can include the accidental omission of a child born after the parent made a will leaving property to siblings.
Under French law, a wife does not automatically inherit all of her husband's estate, and generally must share it with his children.
In the heart-rending letter, Smet — whose mother is the actress Nathalie Baye — said her father comes to her in her dreams every night. "You are handsome, with no tattoos, you are finally free…"
Hallyday began getting tattoos in the 1990s around the time he met Laeticia in Miami, marrying her just after she turned 21 in 1996.
– 'I love you Papa' –
"I would have preferred if all this had stayed within the family," Smet wrote, "but unfortunately, in our family this is how it is."
"I am proud to be your daughter. I love you Papa," she added.
Smet — a talented actress who reportedly attempted suicide after her father nearly died in 2010 — was left without "a souvenir — one of his guitars or motorbikes, not even the sleeve of the song 'Laura'," her lawyers told AFP.
Two other giants of French music who also lived in California, composer Maurice Jarre — who wrote the scores for "Doctor Zhivago" and "Lawrence of Arabia" — and Madonna's musical arranger Michel Colombier, also disinherited their children.
Jarre's son, electronic composer Jean-Michel Jarre, and Colombier's older children lost their bids in French courts to challenge the wills.
But Smet's lawyer Pierre-Olivier Sur told AFP both men had long broken their ties with France, whereas Hallyday "had a home in France, sang in France until his last breath and had a national funeral presided over by the president".
Although Hallyday was never taken seriously abroad, he was by far the best-known rocker in France, and sold over 110 million records.
Born Jean-Philippe Leo Smet, he took his stage name from an American relative and mentor, Lee Halliday, who introduced him to rock 'n' roll.

Six of Cups – Weekly Tarot Reminder
The coming week's reminder is brought to us by the Six of Cups
When we are functioning optimally, the energies it represents for us would be:
– Sentimentality
– Thoughtfulness
– Wisdom
– Reminiscing
– Gratitude
– Loyalty
– Innocence
– The childlike ability to forgive or accept forgiveness
– Love of Children
– Remembering our roots
When we are weaker than usual in mind, body and spirit, then we may experience:
– Ungratefulness
– Arrogance thinking we know everything
– Taking advantage of good faith
– The inability to accept new ideas
– Refusing help from family and people who are genuinely concerned for our well-being, mainly because of pride or ego,
– Selfishness
– Remembering unpleasant and even traumatic experiences
– Living in the past and being controlled by it
A child has the ability to forgive easily because of their innocence and pureness of heart. At the same token, this can easily be taken advantaged of by the wrong people.
Even as an adult, regardless of how strong or wise or experienced we may think we are, when it comes to the matters of the heart, we remain vulnerable. It is not unusual to grasp at straws and live in the past pleasures of a love that once was.
– When we let go yet learn from the past,
– when we give ourselves the chance to forgive and be forgiven,
– when we recognise our roots – especially with what truly matters,
– when we become grateful that the past has helped us become the flourishing, strong and adaptable person that we are,
– then love can blossom anew, and embrace us with pureness and innocence once again.
Only with pureness and innocence can be we become courageous enough to open up our hearts and become vulnerable by trusting.
Only by trusting can we experience the depths and breadth of love, once more by being in the present. A child's love is very powerful like this. This power remains with us always. We just need to remember and let it through.
If you want to be notified for new weekly reminders, don't forget to subscribe. If you found this helpful, kindly like and share this video. Until next week, many blessings to you all! This is TAROT Zamm.

I ask, because some postings would repeat in my course calendars, year to year, because they represent core lecture topics and linked examples I put in the postings for certain dates.
So, for example, if I repeat every semester the same 2 week sequence on researching strategies, evaluating sources, etc., and have the same URLs posted in that 2 week period, it would save a lot of time to at least go back to the prior semester's or prior year's calendar and copy and paste those valuable 2 weeks of links into the current semester Canvas Calendar. One class is only taught every other year, so rather than re-creating the prior calendar, it would save time by importing that 2 week period or 16 week schedule, similar to how we can select to import only certain Files or Assignments.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Often we have referred to "storying" here on our blog and in our prayer requests. After several of you have asked about it - we thought this might be the best way to try and tell you! Storying is the evangelistic method we are using as a SW team among the unreached here in Madagascar. We have found it to be highly effective when used with a mostly illiterate people who are considered "oral learners". Below I have copied a description of the storying project that is currently happening here in the town of Tulear, from our team's website - http://madaboutstories.com feel free to check out the website for more info!
Missionaries from the IMB are partnering with Malagasy believers to complete a Bible storying project for the Antandroy, Masikoro, Mahafaly and Tanalana people groups. During the next two years the team hopes to create a basic Bible story set covering the panorama of creation to Christ's return for dialects of each of the four people groups. One goal of the storying project is that the stories will begin to be used in existing churches and in outreach to villages as soon as they are crafted.
The team is using a training model developed by The Seed Company, a division of Wycliffe Bible Translators. Small groups of mother-tongue speakers work together to craft Bible stories for their local language or dialect. The story-crafting groups for this project are made up of lay church planters, church members, and university students from the four people groups. Group members have a passion for reaching their communities with the Gospel through using Bible stories.
The primary objective of the crafting process is to maintain a reverence for the Scriptures while crafting Bible stories that accurately reflect the Word of God and are sensitive to worldview issues. The crafting teams will begin by crafting the stories from the Storying Training for Trainers core story set. IMB missionaries are working with the story-crafters to craft Bible stories that will address the worldviews of these four people groups in southwest Madagascar. Currently in Madagascar, a complete Bible is available only in the official, standard Malagasy language. Dialects of the island such as Mahafaly, Tandroy, Masikoro, and Tanalana are significantly different from the official language. Diligent work is being done in the southwest to translate the written Scripture into several of these dialects. However, the team prays oral stories created by the story-crafting groups will provide Biblical truths to dialect speakers who cannot read the Bible in their native dialects in the meantime.
Please continue to life Tessa and the 4 people group teams up as they are working dilligently on these stories every week!!

Winston Churchill
This isn't rocket science and it's hardly revolutionary, but in all honesty, for most photographers, especially those new to the industry, the concept hasn't been in their thought process. I get it - you're buried and just trying to get your business off the ground is taking up all your time, but think about this...
You're looking for your community to be good to you. So, what are you going to do to be good to your community?
People like buying products and services from companies they perceive as giving back. You can't just sit on the sidelines and watch life go by. You need to be directly involved and that doesn't necessarily mean with your camera.
As we start out this new year think about things you can do to give back:
- Develop a promotion that ties in with a local or national charitable event. For example, you might want to announce all or a portion of every sitting fee going to a particular community campaign.
- Build a promotional day, week or even month where all proceeds or a portion go to a local charity.
- Volunteer to help non-profits in your community. This might not involve photography, but your donation of time. Often, just being involved will put you on the map as somebody who cares about the community.
- Work to bring other photographers into the campaign. Nothing helps build a more positive competitive spirit more than a group of people working together for a common cause.
- Donate your services to events and groups of people who simply need photographs. Two of my favorites are: NILMDTS and HeartsApart.org Each of these organizations involve your skills in portraiture and they both need help.
- As you get more involved in your community, use your blog to help spread the news about upcoming events, fund-raisers etc.
Remember too...There's no such thing as a gift of giving back that's too small. What's important is simply doing something.
instead of something for somebody,
you'll end up not doing nothing for nobody."

A special device called a Blue Power Monitor measures the engineâs performance by recording the vibration of the engine and tells you when the tractor need servicing through an easy to read display. This saves on wear and tear and ultimately, saves you even more money. The tractor starts easily and reliably with a key utilising magnetron electric starting technology for convenience and speed. When it comes to the actual cutting, the working width is an impressive 105 centimetres so the cutting deck can handle large lawns and cut quickly and effectively under varying conditions thanks to the lever-controlled five-stage cutting height adjustment, with a choice of heights from 30 to 95mm, enabling you to so you can achieve the length and finish you want. The WOLF-Garten Blue Power 105.200H can even handle awkward and bumpy areas, thanks to the floating deck, which is separate from the chassis and will hug the contours of the terrain, ensuring a consistent cut even on inclined ground. The pivoting front axle also helps keep the cut and the ride even and smooth. Operator safety and comfort are always prominent in WOLF-Garten design and even the construction and design of the chassis itself is geared toward making getting on and off easily, courtesy of the step-through shape. A high specification ergonomic seat, fully adjustable and with a high back for full spinal support as well as intuitively laid out controls prevent strain on the operators back and muscles and an easy to use, telescopic handle ensures that even emptying or disconnecting the grass collector can be carried out without leaving the driving position. The large capacity (240l) grass collector is made of woven fabric, designed to allow optimum airflow, reducing the chance of blockages. The lid is high-quality plastic to keep dust down. Extra bright and energy efficient, twin LED headlights, are featured, to enable working in poor visibility and a front bumper protects the grille form any bumps or knocks that may occur during day to day use. Both a mulching kit and a rear deflector are available separately to turn your lawn and garden tractor into a three-in-one machine, and the WOLF-Garten Blue Power 105.200H Lawn & Garden Tractor comes with a two-year warranty.

In recent years, few stocks have been as successful as Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA). At a time when the stock market was roaring ahead during its third strongest bull market in history, shares of Tesla have beaten the market by a stunning 101% per year since 2011.
Tesla's remarkable share price growth is beaten only by its sales growth, which has enjoyed a remarkable 158% compound annual growth rate over the past three years. While that growth rate isn't sustainable, analysts are still expecting sales to increase 55% this year and 62% in 2015.
That growth is expected to come from Tesla's continued success with its Model S sedan, which is on track to meet the company's sales target of 35,000 for 2014, up 56% from 2013's figure of 22,450.
With next year's planned launch of Tesla's Model X crossover SUV, the company is planning on achieving a delivery rate of 100,000 vehicles by the end of 2015.
However, it's the launch of the Model 3 in 2017, with an expected base price of $35,000 and a range of 200 miles, that is usually viewed as Tesla's main growth engine.
After all, Tesla is building the $5 billion Gigafactory, the world's largest lithium-ion manufacturing plant in Nevada, to provide sufficient batteries for 500,000 vehicles per year. In fact the Gigafactory's planned output of 35 GWh per year is larger than the entire world's capacity in 2013.
However, this article isn't about Tesla's amazing cars and how they might drive long-term share price appreciation for investors -- at least not directly. Instead, I'd like to focus your attention on what I believe is Tesla's greatest asset and highlight a potential way it can drive the company's earnings growth in years to come.
Optionality: The key to "unquantifiable greatness"
Last year my Motley Fool colleague Brendan Matthews highlighted seven principles to picking 10-bagger stocks, gleaned from years of studying the stock picks of Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner. One of those principles is "unquantifiable greatness": the ability to deliver products or services that customers adore.
However, perhaps the biggest aspect of this investing principle is the idea of optionality, a company's ability to successfully expand (and dominate) new products and services. In other words, optionality is the ability to find new worlds to conquer and then successfully conquer them.
The perfect example of this is Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), which David Gardner bought on Sept. 8, 1997, for a split-adjusted price of $3 per share. In his excellent summary of the reasons for the purchase, Gardner outlined his belief that Amazon was "about more than just books" a statement that proved very true, as Amazon branched out into selling every kind of product and many new services, such as cloud services and media streaming via Amazon Prime.
Thanks to optionality, Amazon has grown into a 100-bagger with 2015 sales projected at $109 billion.
I want to take that same concept and apply it to Tesla, to see where Elon Musk, the company's innovative CEO and co-founder, might take the company in the future.
Gigafactory: Cheaper batteries are just the beginning
When the Gigafactory opens in 2017, Tesla hopes it can cut battery costs by 30%, and by 50% when full capacity is reached in 2020.
Analysts believe that this means Tesla will be able to achieve a cost per KWh of $100 by 2020, 80%-85% less than EV batteries from 2010.
However, Tesla's big optionality opportunity doesn't lie in just batteries for electric cars, but energy storage in general, including renewable energy applications.
Energy storage: A $50 billion opportunity
According to analyst firm Lux Research, energy storage is expected to grow 8% annually and become a $50 billion market by 2020, the year the Gigafactory will achieve full production capacity.
|Projected Market Size in 2020
|% of Energy Storage Market
|Vehicle batteries
|$21 billion
|$27 billion
|Stationary Applications
|$2 billion
|$50 billion
Tesla, through its relationships with battery maker Panasonic (NASDAQOTH:PCRFY) and SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY.DL), is potentially setting itself up to play a major role in all three energy storage categories.
For example, currently Tesla's battery packs are comprised of 8,000 individual battery cells, the same as used in conventional laptops.
This means that the Gigafactory may be able to manufacture batteries not only for Tesla's electric cars, but consumer electronics as well. Better yet, there's a very good chance that Tesla and Panasonic could manufacture these consumer electronic batteries at a cost that makes them ultra-competitive for use in laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
A Tesla battery... in your smartphone?
Back in February, Gartner auto industry analyst Thilo Koslowski told Wired Magazine: "Depending on the capacity of the factory and who the other investors will be, Tesla could start selling its batteries for other products besides cars. ... This could actually mean Tesla might build batteries for Apple." However, potentially the largest long-term market for Tesla batteries isn't consumer electronics or electric cars, but renewable energy storage.
For example, Tesla recently began partnering with SolarCity to offer its customers energy storage systems to store power generated during the day. With the International Energy Agency projecting $6.4 trillion will be spent on renewable energy worldwide through 2035, this could prove to be a major growth catalyst for Tesla if the program can be scaled up and utilize recycled batteries from old Teslas.
Optionality is an important idea for disruptive companies such as Tesla as it represents the potential of investing alongside an innovative, passionate corporate leader such as Elon Musk who could eventually take the company in new and profitable directions. However, Tesla investors today should remember that the possibilities of Tesla's future in the battery market, while real, represent a very long-term potential. Only invest in Tesla if you believe in the growth potential of their core business of great electric cars. Consider optionality only a growth "kicker" on top of an already great business and as always, own Tesla only as part of a diversified, well rounded portfolio.

September 1, 2011. I'll never forget that day in my life. Standing at the front door of my father's house, fully dressed, the negative thoughts surged again.
Should I go? Or stay? The internal debate was intense.
Choosing to step out that fateful Thursday morning, inspite of my fears and hesitation is one of the best decisions I've made. It has opened doors and brought me into contact with incredible people I'd never have met. On that day, I had to make a decision to attend or stay away from a specialized course that I desperately needed but had NO dime to pay for. The course fee was fixed at ₦30,000 'only' and being a professional course, there was no room for negotiations.
I knew I had no money to pay for it. But I also knew I needed that course. Cash flow was tight at home and with three younger siblings still in school, asking Dad for the money would have been heartless- the man was probably silently thanking God that I'd successfully completed my first degree program. Being someone with a very strong aversion to borrowing, soliciting funds from any other source was out of the question. Money or no money, I had to be in that course, somehow. I finally succeeded in psyching myself up to make a go for it, but on that Thursday morning, the day the professional training was to start, the doubts and fears I thought I'd buried, resurrected- and they came back with a vengeance!
Image after image of negativity played out in my head- the possible embarrassment, the humiliation of having no money to pay, so many negative thoughts. I actually started feeling sorry for myself right there and then. But somehow, from somewhere within me, I found the courage to make that move- and I've not regretted it one bit!
Only now as I look back do I realize that I was unconsciously applying one of the principles for a successful life, that is, the principle of putting, or as I prefer to say it, throwing yourself in the way of success.
I'm an avid lover of principles. Probably my engineering background has something to do with that. In engineering, once you understand the working principle behind a machine, law, or process, manipulating it to suit your purpose becomes easier. Life itself, also operates on principles.
One of the worst mistakes we can make as young people is to buy into the lie that there's nothing we can do to improve our lot in life.
I strongly believe that within every person lies the ability to upgrade his/her life- if we dare to make a move. The challenge, I've observed, is in getting ourselves to dare.
Not too long ago, a friend expressed her desire to get married and her growing frustration with Mr. Right's delayed arrival. Almost instantly, another friend (a lady also) challenged her with a few pointed questions- how many weddings have you attended lately? Where do you hang out? What groups in your church do you belong to? How many male friends do you have?
Now while I'm not suggesting that these would work, the principle is clear- when we take certain actions, we increase the probability of obtaining a desired result. Isn't it amazing how we complain about things we lack without making ANY move to get closer to those things? You can't hide in a corner and expect success to come to you- you have to put yourself in its path.
What do you desire? Think about it. Are you putting yourself in situations that will increase your chances of getting what you want? Success rarely comes to us- we go to it. And you know what I've found? In the process of going towards success, we are refined, better positioned, made more suitable to accommodate the kind of success we're going after. We may not see EXACTLY how it'll turn out but when we put ourselves in the situations, the places and environment that harbor our desires, we enlist as candidates for miracles.
When we take certain actions, we increase the probability of obtaining a desired result
That's exactly what Joseph did when he freely interpreted Pharaoh's cup bearer's dream in the prison. It's what those four lepers did when they risked their lives by heading for the enemy's camp (2 Kings 7). That's what one of my career mentors did and found himself on a free trip to the U.S with the American ambassador to Nigeria- his first ever visit to the U.S, though he was just a young man hustling in Lagos back then. That's what the slave girl Esther did when she contested in the pageant to select a new queen in Shushan (Esther 2).
"Why sit we here until we die?" (2 Kings 7:3)
We may need to ask ourselves that question too. Why stay where I am when I desire a change? Why remain on the same spot when I know I'm not enjoying it? Why must I only complain and grumble when that doesn't help improve my lot in life? What's really r-e-a-l-l-y holding me back- am I blaming something else when it's really my own fears? These are tough questions we must confront at life's crossroads.
The results/effects/outcomes we desire thrive in a kind of environment, a kind of atmosphere. We must find that environment and hang around it. There's an old saying- if you lie with dogs, you'll rise with fleas. A German proverb says it beautifully- begin to weave and God will supply the thread. Too many times, we want to see HOW it will all play out before we make the first move. We want to know the EXACT sequence before we begin. But I've found life NEVER works that way. Life demands that we start first, that we make the first move where we are and it'll reward our faith with the next move, and the next, and the next till we get to our desired result. Oh I love this inspired quote: sometimes, your only transportation is a leap of faith. Powerful, powerful thought I tell you.
I'd never have known that stepping out that Thursday in 2011 would eventually lead me to some of the best mentors and teachers in my career as an engineer today. I'm still amazed every time I think about it! I'm happy I threw myself in the way of success then. You bet I'm still doing it today. It's not too late for you either- start TODAY.
Begin to weave, and God will supply the thread
Thank you for reading today. I look forward to reading your thoughts and questions on this subject.
Live by Design.

WYOMING – Wyoming drivers will tell you they can't drive to save their lives down in Utah. Ask Coloradans and they'll likely complain about Texas. Back east, Massachusetts motorists catch a lot of grief for their driving habits according to New Yorkers. Right back at ya if you quiz Red Sox fans.
Finding consensus on the state with the worst drivers isn't easy but it won't stop Buckrail from trying.
CarInsuranceComparison.com uses data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) including fatalities rate, failure to obey (fatal crashes at traffic signals, not wearing seat belts, and driving with an invalid driver's license), drunk driving, speeding, and careless driving.
According to their methodology, the suckiest drivers are in Texas and Louisiana (tie for worst). Montana is in the top ten. Wyoming finished 13th overall bad, driven mainly by the state's #2 rank for fatalities. The safest drivers were found in Vermont.
But wait, Zendrive called Vermont drivers the most distracted in the nation. Its data science team looked at cell phone use and driving. Western states fared well. Oregon had the least distracted drivers, followed by Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.
SmartAsset's new rankings are out for 2017, and the takeaway there is motorists might want to avoid the southeast. Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee all made the Top 10 worst. Vermont and Texas also ranked in the Top 10 lousiest drivers, with Nevada the only state out west making an appearance in the Top 10.
QuoteWizard paired incident data from its users with state fatality information from the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) to derive its crummiest motorists. Colorado came in at 8th worst, California at #2. And the worst drivers in the Union? Here we go, Wyomingites, in unison: Utah.
According to QuoteWizard research, Utah is second in rankings for both accidents and speeding, as well as fourth worst for minor citations. And, surprisingly, for a state known for its non-drinking populace, Utah made the top 10 for DUIs, coming in at number nine.

Once again winter brings, along with hot wine and cold mornings, the Žižkov Meets Jazz festival. This year it features acts including rising star guitarist David Dorůžka with his Trio, the smooth samba grooves of Yvonne Sanchez, and Nika Diamant (now seemingly known as Veronika) with her SofaJazz project.
ŽMJ will take place on the 7th and 8th of November in the underground maze that is Palác Akropolis. If you want to grab some food before the music we at Prague Jazz heartily recommend the pub diagonally opposite the Akropolis - as well as Czech favourites they do the best steak in this city.

The YouTube vid below shows pianist David Russell playing a piano medley from the soundtrack to the BBC's Sherlock. He's playing along to the soundtrack for much of the piece, so you may have to listen carefully for what he's doing. Those who play piano may enjoy seeing exactly what he's playing: the camera catches his hands very well. Also, there's some really creative editing of the piano camera work, superimposed over scenes from the series. Very nicely done. Enjoy!

Spell lineup questions
I have recently grown a druid to box with my magician main. After finally getting her to 100, studying the spells, etc, I have a few questions. Being a magician, I multibind (NOT the same as a macro) multiple spells, in gem order, to a single key. Since when I box, I use my laptop set up beside my d...

In this video we can see the report on comedy artist Niru Khadka (Nirmali) was bitten by her family . Niru Khadka probably known as Nirmali is the comedy actress in the popular tele serail Meri Bassai. Meri Bassai is a Nepali sitcom television series that began in 2006. It is one of the most viewed television programs in Nepal. Sitaram Kattel is the script writer, co-director and one of the major actors of this sitcom.
Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Marinade should be made ahead of time to cool.
Pound chicken breasts so they're more even in thickness.
Put the rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes in a bowl or jar.
Heat the olive oil until warm and pour over the herb mixture.
Let herb oil cool then pour over chicken breasts and marinate overnight or minimum of 4 hours.
Grill chicken breasts.
Slice rolls and place chicken on the bottom half add 2 slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the chicken and lettuce and tomatoes if desired.
Optional: Spread some basil mayo if desired on top half of roll.

Square Enix is shutting the Augmented Pre Order program for Deus Mankind Divided. The developers say that they listed to fans, and this decision is a direct result of fan-feedback about the program.
You asked for this: we are cancelling the "Augment your Pre-Order" program. Read all the details here – https://t.co/L7c4axjmuV
— Deus Ex (@DeusEx) October 1, 2015
With Augmented pre order program, developers gave players the option to choose what they receive as pre order incentives. Square Enix says that it felt choosing incentives themselves and releasing it across different regions caused frustration.
However, as it turns out, giving players the option to choose for themselves causes outrage. Square Enix wrote in a post:
After much thought and reflection, we decided to close down the program and make all of the incentive content available to anyone who pre orders Deus Ex Mankind Divided or purchases the day 1 edition of the game.
The post further reads:
Additionally, the release date will no longer be changed in accordance with pre order numbers, and everyone will gain access to the game on February 23, 2016.
These changes will automatically apply to those who have already preordered using the Augmented Preorder Program.

I use to take a lot of photos, getting a kick out of using an average camera while trying to get an amazing photo. If I could conquer the task then it meant, for me, that I had some talent. I don't really take photos anymore but I want to change that. The plan is try and capture at least one photo each week.
Living in a busy city means that sometimes there is so much going on that you become oblivious to what's there. I pass this news stand on the corner of Lex and 86th every week. But the other weekend as I was making my way to H&M for some school shopping it was like I was seeing this news stand for the first time. Never had I noticed the burst of color it added to the street… and never had I noticed all the pigeons.
The color captivated me, the pigeons grossed me out. Apparently those pigeons are EVERYWHERE at that intersection.

So you've deployed ConfigMgr Asset Intelligence, maybe imported your licensing statement from the Volume Licensing Service Center, maybe some third party licenses and you've deployed Software Metering. You've got plenty of clients and you decide to delve in to the ConfigMgr built-in reports to see just what's available and, hopefully, to ascertain just where you stand with regards to licence compliance in your organisation.
Shock horror. You discover that the in-built reports are probably not what you had hoped (I choose my words politely). You had probably hoped for a neat report detailing each product on your license statement, combined with a nice column saying how many licenses were used and maybe even a column giving you the difference (because no one wants to use calc.exe to do this for 100 different licenses!). You've probably found something which tries to be this, but fails miserably.
So having had your hopes dashed, you may have begun looking at various Software Asset Management tools available which plug in to SCCM. WAIT A MINUTE – Of course, while these can be fantastic tools with a valuable output, you should rightly expect more of your ConfigMgr solution – given that said licensing tools tend to pull the majority of their information from ConfigMgr anyway. And hey – we just want a rough idea of compliance, so let's not use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
You'll be happy to know that there is hope. It's a quirky solution, not clean and certainly not pretty – but it does work. It'll not give you the level of insight that some of the asset management tools will give you, but for many, it'll help give an executive summary of the licensing position in an organisation.
Firstly – lets look at he different licensing types we may have.
Per Device – the traditional model, you pay for a device per installation.
Per User – a newer model becoming increasingly common in our mobile work – you pay per unique user, which gives us the flexibility to install across multiple devices, but measure usage on the basis of unique users or concurrent users.
Per Processor – common in database technologies, we pay for an installation per processor in the server utilised for the installation.
Some products treat you like royalty and provide in-built licensing tools that manage the licensing situation for you – the majority however won't do that.
ConfigMgr Limitations
Let's get the caveats out of the way first – ConfigMgr provides you with the opportunity to import a General License Statement or a Volume License statement – in a nutshell this means, Non MS and MS based licenses.
What you will inevitably find in this process is the reports natively contained in ConfigMgr will still leave you with much manual work to do in reconciling your license situation. The inventoried data within Configuration Manager does not tend to align very well with the imported license information or the software metering data. In fact, even with Asset Intelligence synchronisation, the usefulness of the imported data in the native reporting tools is still called in to question.
It is also important to realise that, as with any system, GIGO applies. That is – Garbage In, Garbage Out. ConfigMgr relies on a healthy client being installed on all endpoints, and those clients communicating regularly and reliably with the ConfigMgr infrastructure.
Consider the laptop with no corporate connectivity that has some very expensive software installed – without regular connectivity with the ConfigMgr environment, this client may decide to disappear – and your license with it. Thus it is important to retain regular visibility of all clients – if you don't have DirectAccess or a VPN solution that enables connected clients to call home, you should consider deploying Internet Based Client Management in your ConfigMgr infrastructure.
Thanks for that – now how do I measure my compliance?
The solution requires some intimate knowledge of the ConfigMgr database schema – but if you don't have this, looking at the existing report datasources will give you all the knowledge you need on where to find the information you require (or.. read on). It'll also require some somewhat decent SQL skills – nothing too complex, but different types of join, using built in functions, grouping and ordering are a must.
SCCM can give us just the amount of flexibility we need to get some useful licensing compliance data in a nice format. To achieve this, we will utilise the asset intelligence, software metering and general license ledger functionality. You could potentially also use the import of the Volume Licensing information, but in my experience it is easier to include the Microsoft data in your General License Ledger too (it requires a bit of work to get it in the correct format but it works quite well!). Natively, there is no link between the asset intelligence, software metering and licensing components. Whilst we could try to alter things to force a solution, the reality is there could be many different inventoried titles for a piece of software – for example, "Software A (x64)" and "Software A (x86)" could be under the same license umbrella – that we need to find a more generalised solution.
So – continuing the use of "Software A" as our example, identifying these two components in the Asset Intelligence Catalog, we need to find a way of categorsing both as "Software A" and treating them as a single item for invetory purposes – enter the use of Labels. You can add up to 3 labels to an inventoried item in the Asset Intelligence Inventory. Labels are defined in the Asset Intelligence Catalog. Select both "Software A (x64)" and "Software A (x86)" and assign a label of "Software A" in Label 1 for both of these items.
Now, let's consider that I'm not overly concerned about the number of copies of Software A installed in my organisation as it's a per user licensing model. Enter Software Metering. Software Metering enables you to monitor client devices for an executable being run. So let's imagine that SoftwareA.exe is used for "Software A" we should define a software metering rule for this piece of software. I won't delve into Metering in any more detail here, but there are plenty of resources available. The key item is that your metering rule (or rules, if necessary) must have a name which matches the Label you entered in Label 1 of the Asset Intelligence Catalog. You also need to identify this piece of softwarea as a piece of software which is licensed on a per user basis. To do this, I recommend adding a second label, added under Label 2 for "Software A (x64)" and "Software A (x86)" called 'Per User License'.
While we're at it – let's also add one called 'Per Device License' and 'Per Proc License' and add these against any software which uses those licensing models in Label 2.
Now – there's one more key piece of information I need to add to complete the jigsaw – licensing information. As mentioned previously, the built in reports for Microsoft Volume Licensing probably fall short of what you were looking for – they are designed to give you information to manually reconcile your licenses rather than provide a management summary report. For that reason, I would recommend placing all licenses into the general license ledger – the format of which is explained here – https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712322.aspx#BKMK_ImportSoftwareLicenseInformation. This will make the data extraction a little easier. Again, the key is that the Name column matches the entry in Label 1 and your Software Metering entries. Remember, you can make multiple entries of the same name in the license ledger – how you manage these will be down to your SQL skills.
Data Extraction & Reporting
So, we've got a data model defined in SCCM which we can now report on. Again, reporting is beyond the scope of this post, but there are many guides available and it is a very simple process to add reports to your ConfigMgr environment. Your limiting factor will generally be your imagination.
The key tables you will need to utilise for extracting the data are:
v_AI_NON_MS_LICENSE – this is your general license ledger
v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE_CATEGORIZED – this is the software installed on a per machine basis together with a reference entry for Labels
v_LU_CATEGORY_EDITABLE – this is the data for your labels
v_MONTHLYUSAGESUMMARY – this is the summarized data for software metering. ConfigMgr automatically summarizes this information in to a monthly usage format and you should configure maintenance tasks to define the retention and summarization frequency of this data.
v_METEREDPRODUCTRULE – this will give you the data on your sofware metering rules
v_GS_PROCESSOR – this will give you processor counts for devices which rely on software with a per processor licensng model.
In summary – your SQL should do the following –
1) Link Asset Intelligence Data (v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE_CATEGORIZED) with Licensing Data (v_AI_NON_MS_LICENSE)
2) For devices with a Per User Model – should link asset intelligence data with software metering data (v_MONTHLYUSAGESUMMARY) and (v_METEREDPRODUCTRULE)
3) For devices with a per processor model – should link asset intelligence data with hardware inventory information on the processor – (v_GS_PROCESSOR)
All in all this solution should provide you with a nicely crafted solution to gain an overall view of compliance across the organisation. It isn't pretty and it requires some creativity in crafting metering rules, the license statement and managing the labels attached to inventoried software, but it is worth the time and effort to implement, even if it is a stepping stone to a full SAM solution.
Expanding the solution
Why stop? As I said – the limit with reporting in ConfigMgr is your imagination. We rarely see enough value extracted from ConfigMgr through reporting because in all honesty it tends to be used as a technical tool rather than one which may provide important Management Information. However, here are some examples of how you could expand on the above
– Measure usage in individual business units – use the power of collections to create groups of machines and/or users to be used in your mini-SAM solution – v_gs_installed_sofware and v_gs_installed_software_categorized provide data on a per machine basis, software metering data provides data on a per user basis.
– Colour code your report to show where license usage indicates an excess or shortages of licenses
– OR – and this is where the real value of the System Center stack lives – automation – For usage in excess of the purchased license (or maybe for all installations), identify machines where software has not been used in X days and automate the removal of software to free up those licenses.
– Create reports looking at external data – maybe financial data for your software – cost per license, maintenance information etc. From these you could derive reports to influence budgeting and financials. I would recommend you utilise a separate database for this and leave the ConfigMgr database untouched, but SQL Server Reporting Services will happpily amalgamate data from multiple data sources. At this point, it may be worth begining to look at SAM solutions, because far from using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, you may be trying to use the nut to crack the sledgehammer.
In Summary
Hopefully you have seen that you don't have to use the out of box experience in ConfigMgr and it is a highly extensible solution. The above doesn't replicate the functionality of a SAM solution and neither is it intended to. It is designed to show you that, with a little creativity, you can tame the ConfigMgr beast and get important MI from which your business can extract real value.
Until next time…

Cosgrove Care are amazed at the success of their latest fundraising venture last week which managed to raise more than £1,000 for the charity.
The charity decided on a bingo night with a difference - it came with glasses of fizz, Prosecco to be absolutely accurate, which helped the night get off to a flying start.
The charity, who specialise in providing personalised support and care services for children and adults who have learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, and mental health problems living in and around Glasgow and East Renfrewshire were absolutely delighted with the turnout.
Around 65 women came together at Mark's Deli onBurnfield Road to 'get their heads down' for bingo and raise money for Cosgrove at the same time.
The event was an instant sell-out and the Mecca Springfield Quay ensured the night went smoothly by supplying both the bingo caller and books!
Fundraising Executive Helena Winocour said: "This was our first ever Bingo night and it was a sell-out in days.
" There was lots of Prosecco and lots of prizes! Cash prizes for the bingo and fantastic raffle prizes meant that we had lots of very happy ladies leaving as winners!"
Mark Cohen, owner/proprietor of Mark's Deli said: "It was a delight to be able to do our wee bit to help out a fantastic charity who do so much good in the community.
"I couldn't do half of what their volunteers manage to achieve with their clients and they are a credit to the organisation.
"All I did was provide the venue and a wee bit of food, the group did everything else themselves, and I was so pleased to see that the evening was such a huge success for them, having raised about £1,000, so more power to their success."

"Good afternoon, Simon."
"I'm sorry?"
"My name is Roger. Roger Podgursky." Is it? "I'm an aide to the President of the United States of America and you're holding me against my will." Am I? Are they?
"No. Your name is Simon Coswell, you're a former file clerk and you're a patient here at the Manhattan Psychiatric Center. You were admitted here five years ago after having a psychotic break."
"It hasn't been five years, it's been… it's been a few days. It's been at least a few days." Has it? His head was cloudy. It was the drugs. They're for your own safety, they said. The lack of windows in his room combined with the drugs made it nearly impossible for him to keep track of time.
"Simon, you've been here for five years and two months. Your mind tends to reset every week or so. That's why you think it's only been five days."
*Reset? Could that be? Am I really a file clerk from Manhattan? *It was so hard to think straight in this mental fog. His ribs hurt. They felt bruised. "My ribs… why do they hurt?"
"I'm so sorry about that, Simon. You were being difficult and an orderly had to restrain you. He didn't intend to bruise your ribs."
"The… the football. I had the football with me. I remember the football." The room began spinning.
"Simon? Are you alright?"
"Roger!" He shook his head, trying to clear it.
"Alright, Roger. Tell me about this 'football.'"
"I… I can't. I'm not allowed to. It's… classified."
"Look, Simon, I'm here to help you. If you want to get better, you have to let me treat you. Now, you say your name is Roger. Fine. So tell me about yourself. You mentioned a ball. What is it? You need to talk this through. It's your only chance at recovery. You do want to get out of here some day, don't you?"
"So, Roger. Tell me about this ball. Were you playing a game with friends?"
"It's not that kind of… I'm an aide to the president. It's…" should he do this? Was he really delusional? Five years? Had it really been that long? Nothing was clear. A file clerk? Why couldn't he remember anything about being a file clerk? "Why can't I remember anything about being a file clerk, but I can remember being Roger?"
"We've been through this before, Simon," she began in the calm, measured voice of a professional shrink. "What happened to you… what you did was very traumatic. Your brain locked that person out and created 'Roger' in order to cope. I'm trying to get you back in touch with who you really are, but in order to do that, I need you to realize that Roger isn't real. In order to do that, I need you to talk to me about him. Now, you mentioned a ball. Tell me about it."
He took a deep sigh, closed his eyes and tried to focus. "It's not a real ball. We call it the football. It's just what we call it." His words came more slowly now as doubt began to seep in. "It's a briefcase."
"A briefcase? That's an odd thing to call a football, don't you think?"
"It's… the, the President travels with a briefcase that contains what he needs to launch a nuclear attack. I was in charge of it."
"I see," she said in that I hear what you're saying but I don't believe a word of it tone shrinks are so adept at using. "Do you see how a file clerk might like to think of himself an important individual, close to the President, holding a source of immense power in his hand?"
Hesitation. "Well… maybe. I guess."
"See, often times when the mind creates an alternate reality, it neglects to fill in the details. What I want to do is get you talking about Roger's life so that you can see the gaps in your story. Tell me more about this football."
"It contains a list of classified locations that the President is taken to in the event of an emergency."
"I thought you said it was for launching a nuclear attack," she said in that tone again. "You see, you aren't even able to keep your story straight from minute to minute, Simon."
"No… the football has… it keeps both those things."
"Oh, does it? And I assume you're the only one who can open it?"
"Yes. It's my duty. It's… it's my job. If anyone tries to force their way in, the… the contents get destroyed. I'm the only one. I open it."
"There's… a code."
"What's the code?"
"I can't tell you. It's classified."
"You see, Simon. This is exactly what I was telling you. The brain creates a reality but doesn't fill in the gaps. Is it because there is no code for this soccer ball?"
