Automating vSphere ESX4 host installations
Automating ESX 4 installations is a great way to save time and to provide a method of server recovery in the event of hardware or software failure. It creates consistent high quality repeatable installations that can be quickly modified to handle new and changing hardware. The process can also provide some detailed levels of VMware ESX server instance documentation. This blog will discuss how the process works and how-to create the required elements for you to implement your own automated process.
The vSphere ESX 4 install process uses an updated linux boot release commonly referred to as Syslinux. This Syslinux release version 3.63 supports a variety of popular protocols to facilitate a remote central install repository. FTP, HTTP, NFS and gPXE are all available options for provisioning network attachment to a remote install repository.
From the Syslinux boot process vSphere launches it's initrd.img kernel instance which is a custom VMware/Linux kernel containing a multitude of VMware ESX 4 drivers and components. The custom drivers allow for a more closely integrated VMware ESX 4 install process that targets an improved ESX 4 server configuration result.
The custom VMware kernel incorporates Linux kickstart scripting functionality to invoke automated installations. The script location is defined as part of the Syslinux functionality and is available as a menu at boot time. A control file located on the boot media provides these variable control elements. Depending on the media type Syslinux uses a respective cfg file to implement this function. The various available Syslinux boot methods that I am aware of are USB, CD, DVD, PXE and gPXE. In this blog I will demonstrate an ISO CDROM method to perform the automated boot cycle. Any of the boot methods mentioned will all work and have varying levels of complexity to achieve.
The ISO CD and DVD based Syslinux configuration uses a config file named isolinux.cfg, USB boot images would use syslinux.cfg as well as gPXE based boot services can use either depending on the final gPXE target image.
Here is a example and description of the boot time menu functional elements for the isolinux.cfg ISO based file in this demonstration.
default Default
gfxboot bootlogo
prompt 1
timeout 3000
label Default
menu default
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img mem=512M quiet ks=http://vc.laspina.ca:8088/esx/4.0/default.cfg
label vh0
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img mem=512M quiet ks=http://vc.laspina.ca:8088/esx/4.0/vh0.cfg
label vh1
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img mem=512M quiet ks=http://vc.laspina.ca:8088/esx/4.0/vh1.cfg
This cfg file provides three menu choices of default, vh0 and vh1. It will invoke the default after 300 seconds (timeout 3000 is not a typo) or you can manually select the other menu items. The "ks=" append option entry can also be one of file://… cdrom://… ftp://… nfs://… usb and UUID:ID/… The initrd.img element is an ESX initial ram disk image and it needs to version match your repository for a successful install process.
This isolinux.cfg file relies on DHCP to provide IP services. If DHCP is not an option you can use static methods to provision the same by passing the IP specific info into the initial ram disk image.
Here is an example of static IP parameters within the isolinux.cfg file.
label vh1
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img mem=512M quiet ksdevice=eth0 ip=10.10.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.0.254 nameserver=10.10.0.253 ks=http://vc.laspina.ca:8088/esx/4.0/vh1.cfg
Static IP parameters can also be defined in the kickstart ks file but then the ks file would need to be locally available in order for it to work.
Let's now look at how we can create a remote repository based, automated ESX 4 ISO CD installation boot image. My tool of choice for this process was ISOMagic of which you can make images 300MB or less in size for free. Of course you can use others like PowerISO which is also one of my favourites. The first step in the process is to open the vSphere installation ISO and delete all but the highlighted files show in the graphic. While you could leave them intact I prefer to remove elements that are not required as this can be a template for USB or other boot images.
The ISO boot method is quite simple, all we need to do is create a text isolinux.cfg file based on the example show previously and drag it to the MagicISO window onto the isolinux folder. Once the file is replaced we can use SaveAs an ISO to the name of your choice then burn it or mount it on your server's ILOM interface. I plan on making a USB based image later so stay tuned for that in another blog entry.
Be wary of using a windows based text editors as they do work well with Unix based text processing operations since it adds invisible characters to the edited files that will cause some of the unix processes to fail. I normally use Ultraedit to edit the Unix targeted files since it has a function that allows you to convert and save in Unix file format.
To provision an install repository is a matter of choice, you can use any of the many different hosts that can serve one of the supported protocols. If your going to use an http repo you will need to take note of Mime types that may not be defined on the web service of choice. In this blog example we are going to define an http based repo on a Virtual Center Server (VC).
Create a base directory on the VC to host the install repo and extract the ESX 4 ISO to an appropriately named subfolder.
e.g. My base is D:VMwareRepo and the subfolder is esx4.0
We need to setup an IIS service instance on the VC and create a WEB site on port 8088. Do not use the default port 80 as it will conflict with other VC services.
We assign our base repo directory to this site and allow directory browsing.
The addition of MIME type pkl is required, right mouse -> Properties on the IIS instance within your Computer Manager MSC
That's all you need for provisioning an http repo with IIS on your VC. Once you have a repo defined and running make sure you can browse it using your favourite browser.
As an added layer of security I only allow ESX console IP interfaces of a specific subnet on the repo site. Here is an example screen shot. Remember to check browsing availability before you enable any subnet restrictions.
The next step is the most involved and interesting part of the process. Let's use an example script named vh1.cfg to examine and discuss one of my scripted processes. The script is normally stored in your repo e.g. D:VMwareRepoesx4.0vh1.cfg.

As you can see the process is quite involved, however the benefits are outstanding. I can build or recover an ESX 4 host in 10 minutes or less and I can reconfigure it to a different target with ease.
Hope you found the entry usefull and interesting.

OK not sure if what i am seeing is expected behaviour so be greatfull if somebody could comment and advise accordingly. Basically i want to do an automatted esx 4 update1 scripted install…i have tried doing it via a http reopository but wasn't having much luck. As a result i have now resorted to trying to building a floppy disk image via magiciso (im sure you can use other products) of the ks.cfg file. Then when i boot the HP server i mount the original esx4u1 iso image and also the floppy disk image (of the ks.cfg file) and press f2 at the esx splash screen and type the following:
….ksdevice=vmnic2 ip= netmask= gateway= ks=floppy
however when the build goes thruogh its normal cycle i am still presented with the default "Welcome to the ESX installer" splash screen and i am required to type in the settings manually. It as though the settings in the ks.cfg are ignored…..to make sure my settings are correct ive built this server manually before and got the ks.cfg setttings.
Can somebody suggest what i am doing wrong???
The issue is more likely to be your syslinux.cfg parameters e.g.
label vh1
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img mem=512M quiet ksdevice=vmnic0 ip=10.10.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.10.0.254 nameserver=10.10.0.253 ks=http://vc.laspina.ca:8088/esx/4.0/vh1.cfgHere the vmlinuz kernel will load a busybox img and also passes all the network parms into it.
Thanks mike. One last thing, would you be able to advise
how i can prompt for a vmotion ip address when the build initially
starts and then use that variable value in the post section to
configure and enable vmotion?? -
You could manually prompt for user input (sort of defeats the automation if you ask me) as follows:
# Get user input
while [ "$vmo-ip" == "" ] ;do
echo -n "Please Enter the VMotion IP for this ESX Host: "
read vmo-ip
doneesxcfg-vswitch -A VMotion vSwitch0
esxcfg-vmknic -a VMotion -i $vmo-ip
/usr/bin/vimsh -n -e 'hostsvc/vmotion/vnic_set vmk0′Regards,
I don't see how that defeats the purpose. I don't understand how you can have a fully automated install that works across more than one box considering you will have a different IP and hostname for each server. Guess it comes down to, do I want to have my networking information configured during install, or after?

Hemingway returns to 'First' role Sunday, August 11, 2002 By Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV Editor
Sequels, prequels and trilogies are common on the big screen. But it's a rarer thing among movies made for television. With only a few exceptions - most notably Glenn Close in the "Sarah Plain and Tall" movies on CBS - TV movies don't inspire a sequel, let alone two.
But as cable takes up the slack from broadcast networks that have severely reduced their movie output, TBS has found success in a movie series about a Secret Service agent.
Mariel Hemingway starred as Alex McGregor in 1999's "First Daughter," sat out the 2000 sequel "First Target" (Daryl Hannah played Alex in that one), but returns to the role she created for "First Shot" (8 tonight on TBS).
"It's very unusual," Hemingway said of the TV trilogy. "It's been nice for me because it's a short-time commitment, yet it's consistent. There's something to be said in this business for working with people and on projects you have a tremendous affinity for and revisiting them. It's a great luxury, and they don't do it in television often enough. It's either series or movies, no in-between."
Hemingway said she sat out the second film because of scheduling conflicts and script quality. She didn't watch it, either, because she didn't want it to influence how she played the character or in the event she'd regret passing it by. When the script for the third film arrived, she said yes.
"I come from a background of being somewhat of a tomboy, and I like to think I can shoot a gun, not that I do it very often," she said in a phone interview last month from her family's summer home in Sun Valley, Idaho. "It's cool to run and be tough. I can act out some sort of childhood fantasy."
In "First Shot" McGregor has recently gotten married to outdoorsman Grant Coleman (Doug Savant), and she continues to work as a Secret Service agent protecting President Jonathan Hayes (Gregory Harrison). This time, McGregor comes up against the same militia group that kidnapped the president's child in "First Daughter."
The new film's climax was shot in an unused part of an operational sugar plant in Vancouver. One scene required Hemingway to ride up a vertical conveyor belt, no safety wires attached. That's the beauty of doing low-budget films, Hemingway said, reenacting the sort of on-set conversations that occur:
"Do you mind doing this?"
"You won't fall?"
"Don't tell anybody you're not hooked on."
Hemingway said it's all part of the fun.
"I like doing anything a little bit dangerous, which is pathetic."
It also requires a different kind of acting.
"I like the physicality of it," she said. "It gives you a lot of places to go. By virtue of the action, there's less acting seen on screen, it's less visible. You're working through whatever you're doing and when you're doing you don't see the wheels of acting happening, you just see action."
"First Shot" was filmed in April 2001 and was originally scheduled to air last fall. After Sept. 11, Hemingway said, TBS executives decided to hold the film.
"It was just too close for comfort because of the whole thing with bombings and freedom fighters. They just felt uncomfortable about it," she said. "I think we'll do well this August because of our incredible interest in security in the country. It has a place right now."
Since completing "First Shot," Hemingway has been at work getting financing together so she can direct the independent film "A Moveable Feast," adapted from the book of the same name written by her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway.
Shooting is set to begin next winter, though there's no cast yet.
"I had thought about playing my grandmother, but I would prefer to wear just one hat, which is a big hat when you're directing," Hemingway said.
With the family connection, there's more pressure than usual.
"Over the years it's taken me through some different feelings about inadequacy, but I've been with it now for so long I feel very competent about my ability to get this done."
Hemingway, who starred in the network series "Civil Wars" and "Central Park West," may not be done with TBS's "First" series yet. She said there's been talk of another sequel or possibly turning the Alex McGregor saga into a weekly series.
"I'm not sure I can do that myself. I'm directing now and have lots of other projects in my life, so I don't know if I could, but I'd certainly consider it."

text: We ate here on a Friday evening mid August; as per other reviews, found it to be very good. Food sufficiently 'French' as to be interesting without being too much so as to put off the unadventurous. Pleasant terrace became slightly chilly late-evening, but the attentive hostess lent my wife a cardigan to fix things. Would definitely recommend.

Jenn's Tandem Nursing Journey, Part 2
40 is the New Badass
Happy birthday to me! Today I turn 40. Such an epic milestone. I could have told you with great certainty at every year of my life what I would be doing at age 40 and it would never have included breastfeeding an almost 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, being a stay-at-home mom and mommy blogging.

Breastfeeding Grows With Him
We live in a culture where we are constantly pressured to push our kids to "grow up." This is often the argument for weaning, "They need to grow up sometime!" I've even got feedback for the vocabulary I use to describe my kids, "baby versus toddler versus small child." And anyone who is not pushing their child to grow up is trying to "keep" them young. What is the big rush? They are going to grow up. Seriously, you don't need to push them. Actually pushing too hard can cause anxiety and distrust in the world. They will just grow. It's nature. I will not wean my child simply because he breastfeeds at an older age than makes you comfortable. It works for us, it is what I believe he needs and he likes it! I am not "keeping" him breastfeeding. He likes it, he initiates it and, even after hard work to establish boundaries to keep me sane nursing 2 kids, he keeps coming back. I do not force it to continue and I will not force it to end. He won't breastfeed when he is in college, not that you really need to care about what my child does. Of all the things going on with kids and in the world at large, people trip about this. I don't get it. How can anyone look at this and think it is wrong?
My Dear Critic
My Dear Critic,
I posted this photo on Instagram, that social media platform with the reputation of being drama-free. I received comments such as, "that's disgusting," "so gross," "you're sick," etc. Nothing we haven't heard before on social media, where people can comment without [Read more…]
This is Exley
This is Exley. He is 20 months old. He breastfeeds a lot. Like 7,582 times during the day and 10,498 times during the night. We share a bed so he wakes up, latches on and goes back to sleep. He nurses to sleep, to wake up, for comfort, before he eats, after he eats, when he's resting and all other times too. He is loud. His voice booms in your chest and pierces your ears. He likes to follow his big brother around. Exley thinks he can do everything his big brother can do and falling on his head never holds him back. People often wonder if I get criticized for breastfeeding both Exley and his big brother, Jack (4.5 years old). I do online, but not in my real life. I wouldn't keep critics in my life anyway. My close friends and family support my decision. Extended family and acquaintances seem to keep comments to themselves if they have any. I plan to breastfeed both of them as long as they want. It's not always fun, but it works for us. It's far more than food; it's comfort, security, attachment, bonding and nurturance. I believe that allowing them to wean in their own time will lead to independence, high self-esteem, health and a sense of connection to their family and the world. I don't think nursing Jack takes anything away from Exley. I think Exley gains a unique relationship with his brother along with all the other "perks" of breastfeeding.
This is Jack
This is Jack. He's 4.5 years old. He nurses to sleep and for comfort, a couple times a day, but if it were up to him it would be 75 times a day! He likes to be worn in a toddler carrier if we are in a new or loud place. He likes trucks, Rescue Bots and telling stories. He has ideas for books and plays. He loves to run. He's sensitive, talkative and funny. Breastfeeding has given him nothing but milk, love, nurturance, security, comfort, safety and attachment which will lead to independence, courage, health, self esteem and emotional security.
To the Person Offended By Breastfeeding
By Abby Theuring
I've pretty much heard it all by now. "I'm all for breastfeeding, but… as long as you do it in private, as long as you go to the bathroom, as long as you cover, as long as I don't have to see it." "I don't want my kids/husband to see that." "That's so gross." "Why can't you just put it in a cup?" And on and on with the stipulations that people love to put on other people's behavior.

Don't Knock My Love
by Wilson PickettWilson PickettOverview
Wilson Pickett's eleventh and final album for the Atlantic label is yet another example of why the ultimate pop-soul singer was not only a consistent hitmaker time after time, but was able to adapt and change with the times, covering tunes a lesser singer would not dare try. By the occasion of this 1971 date, disco was starting to rear its head, and Pickett picked up on the trend while still retaining his native Alabama and longtime Detroit roots. After many years working with bands from the Motor City or Memphis, the singer had just collaborated with the Kenneth Gamble/Leon Huff team in Philadelphia, then returned here to record at the legendary Muscle Shoals studio in 'Bama, bringing string arranger Wade Marcus, background vocal arranger Dave Crawford, Detroit session guitarist nonpareil Dennis Coffey (spelled wrong as Coffee on the credits, corrected in Gene Sculatti's excellent updated liner notes) and the Memphis Horns. As he was not much of a songwriter in this latter period of his career, Pickett was fond of covering tunes done by British or American rockers and friends from the Southern soul scene, hoping a couple of them would stick on the charts, which they usually did. For the most part, these tracks segue into each other, a nightmare for radio or club DJs, and a most peculiar trait of this straight CD reissue. Pickett's two-part title track is half funky rock & roll, half weird synth-drizzled disco instrumental, all with an out-of-tune electric bass guitar from David Hood, though qualified with the lyric "if you don't like it, don't knock it." The slow-burning "Hot Love" showcases the most action from a potent horn section over amorous lyric references, Marcus and Crawford exploit the strings and female vocal backup on the ballad "Pledging My Love," while the anti-climactic "Woman Let Me Be Down Home" is listless lyrically and musically. The highlights include a version of "Fire & Water" originally done by Paul Rodgers (and co-composer Andy Fraser) of Free before the singer headed up Bad Company. Pickett jumps head first into this classic rock tune-turned-soulful song loaded up with clavinet sounds -- it would have been a kick to hear the wicked one cover Free's other big hit, "The Stealer." Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me Not to Come" from the book of Three Dog Night is so much better in the soul sender's hands, almost campy and somewhat humorous. Stevie Wonder's minor hit "You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover" is done in Pickett's comfort zone similar to his big Philly-based hit "Engine Engine #9," alright in this instance, but not spectacular, instead more watered down. The hardest-driving numbers are "A Mighty Long Way" featuring Pickett's harmonica playing, and the straight pop-funk of "Call My Name, I'll Be There" with a somewhat cliché lyric post-Damita Jo or the Jackson Five, with Coffey's thorny guitar as a focal point. "Covering the Same Old Ground" is the downhearted blues Pickett was always capable of doing, but is marred by the syrupy strings. A high point on every track is the spot-on drumming of Roger Hawkins and keyboardist Barry Beckett, nuclei of the true Muscle Shoals sound. This is a recording yielding mixed results, and considering this is the end of his initial prime period as a top drawer R&B icon, understandable that it's not his best, even though there are many redeeming moments for his still great vocal talent.

Procedure: buccal cavity examination
The study of Sankaranarayanan and al. (Lancet on 2005, 4, 1927-1933) demonstrated the influence on the decline of mortality of a realized systematic screening, by a simple visual inspection of the oral cavity in alcohol-smoker patients. The sensibility of the visual inspection to diagnose the oral cancers is estimated at 85 % and the specificity in 97 %. However some lésions are not diagnosed with common oral examination(Downer MC Oral Oncol. 2004 ( 3 ) 264-73). The examination in autofluorescence coupled with the visual inspection could be a solution to improve early diagnosis of potentially malignant disorders . Indeed, dysplasia and cancerous lesions can be revealing by an autofluorescence examination (Lane PM J Biomed opt on 2006 ( 2 ): 024006). Other works demonstrated that infra-clinical lesions could be revealed by the autofluorescence (Poh CF Wink Cancer Res on 2006 ( 22 ): 6616-22; Poh CF Head Neck 2007 ( 1 ) 7 71-6). On the other hand the sensibility and the specificity of the autofluorescence in situation of screening were not estimated and studies carried out on sick subjects tend to overestimate the metrological performances of a technique. Besides the reliability of the technique (reproducibility) was not studied. For these reasons, it is recommended to realize in situation of screening in an alcohol-smoker population:
- a study of reliability to estimate the reproducibility inter-observer of the examination of the oral cavity in tissular autofluorescence and,
- a feasibility study to estimate the potential contribution of the autofluorescence with regard to a simple visual inspection in the screening of the potential malignant disorders.

Mobile Phones Don't Cause Cancer, Brain Tumors, or Glioma
Finally, I can tell my mother that I don't need a special filtered ear patch to talk on my cell phone. According to the Institute of Cancer Research of London, there is no link to cancer and cell phones.
"Using a mobile phone does not increase the risk of developing the most common type of brain tumor, according to a study on Friday. After a four-year survey, scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and three British universities found no link between regular, long-term use of cell phones and glioma. "Overall, we found no raised risk of glioma associated with regular mobile phone use and no association with time since first use, lifetime years of use, cumulative hours of use, or number of calls," said Professor Patricia McKinney, of the University of Leeds, in a report in the British Medical Journal. She added that the results were consistent with the findings of most studies done in the United States and Europe."
Unfortunately, there is still no cure in sight for obnoxious ring tones.

November 1970 American Aircraft Modeler Table of ContentsSome things never grow old. These pages from vintage modeling magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, American Modeler, Air Trails, Flying Aces, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, & Young Men captured the era. I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged. |
Admittedly, I do not know a lot about Barry Goldwater, other than that he was a U.S. senator for many years, and was a general in the Arizona Air Force Reserves. Until recently reading the letter to the editor of American Aircraft Modeler (November 1970), I was not aware that he was a very avid aircraft modeler. The letter was written by none other than Cleveland model's Edward T. Packard.
Senator Goldwater's building interests were not limited to model aircraft. Per an article in the New York Times (1992):
"Heath's phasing out its kits 'leaves the amateur, like me, no place to turn,' said former Senator Barry Goldwater, who used to fly to Heath's headquarters in Benton Harbor, Mich., twice a year in his private plane to buy kits. 'It's just that people today are getting terribly lazy, and they don't like to do anything they can pay someone else to do,' said Mr. Goldwater, 83 years old, who has managed to wire up more than 100 Heathkits. 'I think the current generation is certainly missing out.'"
Goldwater was also an avid amateur radio operator from the early 1920s onwards, with the call signs 6BPI, K3UIG and K7UGA.

9 Allergy Signs In ChildrenSadly more and more children are suffering from allergies, and there are certain signs that indicate when allergies are causing or significantly contributing to health problems. Here's a short checklist of what to look out for. The more of these your child has the more likely they are to be suffering from allergies: 1. Dark circles or bags under the eyes making the child look permanently tired. In Chinese medicine this area of the face is linked to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are one of the main organs of the body involved in stress reactions, and exposure to allergens certainly produces stress in the body. Sometimes there is also a crease seen under the eyelids. 2. Dry, flaky lips Often the edge of the lip is an indistinct blur rather than there being a definite line between it and the rest of the face. Michio Kushi in his book Oriental Diagnosis says that different parts of the lip correspond to different parts of the digestive system. The upper lip represents the stomach. The lower part corresponds to the intestines. These parts of the body are often involved with allergic reactions particularly if the problem is with foods. 3. Sweaty feet The liver is the main detoxifying organ of the body. When it is not functioning properly or has to work overtime then the feet tend to be very sweaty. In allergic reactions the liver is coping with an overload of toxins. 4. One or both ears sometimes red and/or burning The reaction usually starts about one and three quarter-hours after exposure to the offending substance and lasts for about half an hour. I do not know whether it is significant if it is one ear or both ears, but the timing seems very precise. The redness usually lasts for about half an hour. This particular reaction can become a very useful self-help diagnostic technique if you pay attention to your child's ears! 5. Children with a tendency to allergies are often blond hair. They are usually pale; in fact so pale that sometimes they are suspected of suffering from anaemia. In some children this paleness is not at first sight evident, because they have very rosy cheeks either all the time or some of the time. Sometimes if you feel the child�s cheek it will be hot and burning, or papery and dry. 6. A child with a lot of food sensitivities will often be a fussy eater. The parent will often say: �My child would be happy if he could live on X.� The child is probably allergic to X, whatever that is. Frequently they become irritable and bad-tempered if they have to go without their favourite food for even a short period of time Breast fed babies are either difficult feeders or need to be constantly fed both day and night and may be difficult to wean. 7. Babies and children with food allergies are usually either very good tempered or very bad tempered first thing in the morning. 8. Very often there is a family history of allergies with near relatives suffering from eczema, hay fever, etc. 9. Allergic children (and adults) often like peculiar smells: they sniff felt tip pens or enjoy the smell of petrol (gas) at petrol stations. They are nearly always allergic to the smell they like so much and, like a drug addict, are seeking out a fix! So what to do about it? Try visiting a therapist with a particular interest in allergies. I particularly recommend health kinesiology, which has a lot of success not only detecting allergies but also correcting them, so the child does not have to avoid the things he/she is allergic to.

Your Brother in Christ
Freystatt, Town Nine, August 5, 1844 After receiving the critique of the beloved brothers in office, the reverend pastors of Missouri, and the pastoral letter of beloved Pastor Grabau and comparing the critique with God's word, the symbolic books and Dr. Luther's writings as well as the old true proofs of the Lutheran church, and holding it up to the content of the pastoral letter, I can give my most complete agreement concerning the at-hand anti-critique of Pastor Grabaus and can declare myself totally of one mind with this, his anti-critique and at the same time wish with him, that this as well as all offered debates and instructions by the ministerial brothers in Missouri may produce a nonsectarian reconsideration and a renunciation of their unlutheran point of view.

Pastor Kirchhayn, Town Ten, August 21, 1844 As much as my heart would have peace in the church of God and particularly within the doctrinal profession, for the sake of peace I cannot forget the truth.

Intercell is an innovative biotechnology company focused on the design and development of novel vaccines for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Intercell mainly focuses on the unmet medical needs and helps in the improvement of health conditions worldwide. Intercell is located in three different places where the headquarters is placed in Vienna, the intercell manufacturing facility is located in Livingston, Scotland and they have a site in Gaithersburg, USA.(intercell).
Intercell is a very famous and a reputed company they were the SCRIPS award winner in 2008 for the biotech company of the year. Gerd Zettimeissi is the CEO of Intercell and Greco is the chair person of the Supervisory board. Intercell is a leading company in the preparation of novel vaccines. Out of the total members 73.5% are working research, development and manufacturing and the remaining in sales and administration. The projects of Intercell include (I) Vaccines against Japanese Encephalitis, Hepatitis C (ii) Antigen Identification Program and adjuvant technologies (iii) Vaccine Enhancement Patch for prevention against pandemic Influenza.This Company is famous for the manufacture of Japanese Encephalitis vaccine. Intercell has its headquarters at Vienna these facility seas to the development and administration, finance, marketing and sales .It consists of 220 member's .Its main concentration is on the discovery and development of vaccines and antigens for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Intercell USA ltd its main concentration is to develop and discover of vaccines and immune systems simulation using needle free methods. Intercell biomedical LTD this plant is dedicated to the production of the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine. This facility also has a full in-house GMP facility. In the beginning of 2008 this manufacturing site received manufacturing license from the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.
Marketing can make or break a brand or a specific product. For most of the biotech companies, defining a product's uniqueness and superiority is the most important thing. The marketing, exporting and the product effectiveness are the main characteristics for the development of the product and the company itself .The Company was formed in 1998 this company were formed as a university spin-off. The company started off by producing vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis and now it produces vaccines against Travellers Diarrhea, Hepatitis C, Tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus some of the are in pre-clinical phase.
The company has a supervisory board that governs the entire company .this supervisory board monitors the management board. The share holders are the ones who elect the members of the supervisory board. Out of the total employees, 60% are women and 40% are men and 655 of its employees are university graduates. Intercell currently has nearly 400 colleagues from more than 30 countries and there are 220 employees work at Vienna, more than 100 at Intercell USA and nearly 80 employees work for Intercell Biomedical Ltd, Scotland. As of Dec 31, 2008, 73.55 of its employees work in research, development and manufacturing. 26.6% deal with selling, general and administrative activities. This company is the only manufacturer of JEV for USA and Australia.
Intercell is tied up with Biological E limited in India. Intercell gives scientific and technical support to this company for the production of Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine. In Feb 2005, Intercell went public on Vienna Stock Exchange and raised €52.5 million. Intercell has a common stock of 47,503,895 shares. The market potential of Japanese Encephalitis vaccine is estimated between €250 million.
Intercell uses three main technologies platforms these are antigen identification program (AIP), the Adjuvant IC31 and needle free vaccine patch. These innovation technologies help the Intercell to develop a new generation of vaccines called "smart vaccines " ,what these vaccines do is they stimulate both B-cells and T-cell. These smart vaccines are easily administered and manufactured, they are effective and safe.
Antigen Identification Program (AIP):
the design of vaccines depends on characterization identification of the proper antigens. With the help of AIP Intercell has identified and refined large antigens of several bacterial pathogens. What the AIP does is it takes the antibodies from the infected individual and it directly mirrors the presence, antigen city and accessibility of relevant proteins from microorganisms in human host. The first step in AIP it randomly fragments the DNA isolated from the microorganism of interest. These peptides are displayed on the E.coli by a set of outer membrane protein this is called bacterial surface display. By this the antibodies are added to the E.coli cell population. Finally with the help of paramagnetic beads the antibiotic cells are captured. There are about 100 to 200 antigens out of which they analyze and Select the best candidates for vaccine development.
Adjuvant IC31:
Adjuvants these are needed to tell the immune system to recognize and eliminate pathogens efficiently. Intercell uses these IC31 adjutants and combines them with antigens, induces both T-cell and B-cell to get responses. Intercell uses unique synthetic formulations that combine the anti-microbial peptide, KLK and an immunostimulatory oligodeoxynocleotide, ODN1a.these two can simply be mixed with antigens or conjunction is required. This Adjuvant IC31 forms a highly specific immune response by inducing specific T-cells and stimulating strong response.
Vaccine Patch:
This vaccine patch is a new technology this helps in the enhancement of injected vaccines. This vaccine patch is used when other routes of administration are not safe. This vaccine patch helps in delivery of vaccines in new and effective ways which are faster and require low or few doses. What this vaccine patch does is it boosts cellular immunity and stimulates both B and T cells. These vaccine patches are put on the skin surface. The langerhans cells present on the skin get activated and carry the antigen vaccine and they take it to the lymph nodes .this is how the vaccine patch helps in the immune response.
Japanese encephalitis is a viral disease caused by a flavivirus which is a type of virus. It is spread through an infected mosquito. In most cases, the illness is mild; with symptoms such as high temperature and headaches .There are also serious cases like seizures and encephalitis which can be developed. After human immunodeficiency virus infection, Japanese encephalitis may be the leading cause of viral encephalitis worldwide. The first outbreak of this virus was reported in 1924 in Japan and Korea. (http://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/prevguid/p0000008/p0000008.asp)
Since Japanese encephalitis is caused by a flavivirus it can affect both animals and humans. This virus is mostly transferred from animals to humans .this virus cannot be passed from person to person. The following diagram shows the transmission cycle of Japanese encephalitis virus.
The vaccine produced for Japanese encephalitis by intercell is approved in USA, Canada, Australia and Europe. The vaccine consists of a purified inactivated JE virus strain .the vaccine is purified and formulated using Vero cells .This vaccine does not contain gelatin or any other stabilizers and it is also in a liquid form which is ready to use.
In the clinical trials JE vaccine showed overall clinical safety, higher potency, a higher persistency and patient convenience. This vaccine was also a success in the prevention of JE virus in children. Intercell produces the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, IXIARO.

Thank you Iggy and Gilles for rescuing me from having to make a decision that might make the PM angry. I gave you a way to save me from having to campaign this summer and you took it. Who cares what's actually in the agreement? Woo hoo summer! Thus did the iron curtain descend on the matter. I just pray to God that the someone in the Hague is taking note.

Well, at least there still is the world cup. Go USA. They are my number two team after Germany, this year. I love their "Never say die" attitude. In all seriousness, it is what I love about Americans. They really believe in their hearts, they are going to win, no matter who they are playing against. If Americans want to feel good about their country, they should look to their soccer team.

Catching Some Z's Can Help You Lose Weight
We Americans are a busy bunch. We rush to get the kids to school, spend significant time commuting to work, put in long hours at the office or work site, try to get some errands or household chores done, and then perhaps try to squeeze in some time for TV or websurfing. Who has time to sleep?
In fact, the average American sleeps about 7 hours a night to accommodate the modern lifestyle. This is a drop of about 2 hours over the past few decades. Many try to get by on only 5-6 hours. Imagine how refreshed you would feel if you slept an extra 2 hours per night.
Lack of sleep makes us cranky and irritable, affects school and work performance, and puts us at risk for dozing off while driving. We might consider these to be short term problems, but sleep deprivation may have long term consequences. Trends in lack of sleep have paralleled the rising trend in obesity.
Dr. Eve Van Cauter and colleagues at the University of Chicago have conducted studies which show that lack of sleep makes us hungrier by affecting our hormones. These hormonal changes are associated with increased cravings for calorie dense food that is high in carbohydrates such as chips or cookies. Sleep-deprived individuals also have higher blood sugar levels and greater risk for diabetes.
How much sleep do you need? The amount of sleep needed varies by age and gender. Most of us probably need at least 8-9 hours of sleep. To determine how much sleep you need, go to bed at the same time each night for a week and try to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If at the end of that week you find yourself sleeping in on the weekend, you may need more than 8 hours per night and should try this experiment again by adding another hour of sleep each night. When you wake up spontaneously in the morning without needing your alarm clock or the snooze button and feel refreshed, then you know you have gotten enough sleep.
What keeps us from sleeping? Many people spend time watching television or using a computer, which may be relaxing but will not restore your body the way sleep will. One solution is to remove the television from the bedroom. Another is to limit television or computer time to one hour per day.
Sleep hygiene is also important. It helps to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. Limiting caffeine intake in the late afternoon and evening will also make it easier to fall asleep at night.
Getting a good night's rest is critical not just for your presentation at work or your test at school the next morning. Sleep is essential to reducing your risk for becoming overweight and developing diabetes.

As the presidential election cycle continues on, discussion over America's immigration system has dominated the headlines. With candidates like Donald Trump calling on a mass deportation of undocumented workers, it's worth it to look at the cost of this action.
Yet, because there are millions of undocumented workers in the U.S., keeping low profiles, the economic impact of their presence can be difficult to solidify. However, the cost of deporting all of the undocumented workers would be large. Some estimate that removing the entire population of undocumented workers in the U.S. could possibly wipe out a portion of the economy that is proportional in size to that domestic product of Texas.
According to the American Action Forum, in their report released in March, estimated that it would be between $100 billion and $300 billion to arrest and remove all of the undocumented workers in America, and "a process that we estimate would take 20 years." Furthermore, it would cost an additional $315 billion in enforcement costs.

Conceptual and statistical framework for a water quality component of the integrated report card for the Great Barrier Reef catchments
Kuhnert, Petra, Bartley, Rebecca, Peterson, Erin, Browne, Matthew, Harch, Bronwyn, Steven, Andy, Gibbs, Mark, Henderson, Anne, Brando, Vittorio, & (2007) Conceptual and statistical framework for a water quality component of the integrated report card for the Great Barrier Reef catchments. CSIRO.
View at publisher (open access)
This report presents the final deliverable from the project titled Conceptual and statistical framework for a water quality component of an integrated report card' funded by the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF; Project 3.7.7).
The key management driver of this, and a number of other MTSRF projects concerned with indicator development, is the requirement for state and federal government authorities and other stakeholders to provide robust assessments of the present 'state' or 'health' of regional ecosystems in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) catchments and adjacent marine waters. An integrated report card format, that encompasses both biophysical and socioeconomic factors, is an appropriate framework through which to deliver these assessments and meet a variety of reporting requirements. It is now well recognised that a 'report card' format for environmental reporting is very effective for community and stakeholder communication and engagement, and can be a key driver in galvanising community and political commitment and action.
Although a report card it needs to be understandable by all levels of the community, it also needs to be underpinned by sound, quality-assured science. In this regard this project was to develop approaches to address the statistical issues that arise from amalgamation or integration of sets of discrete indicators into a final score or assessment of the state of the system. In brief, the two main issues are (1) selecting, measuring and interpreting specific indicators that vary both in space and time, and (2) integrating a range of indicators in such a way as to provide a succinct but robust overview of the state of the system. Although there is considerable research and knowledge of the use of indicators to inform the management of ecological, social and economic systems, methods on how to best to integrate multiple disparate indicators remain poorly developed. Therefore the objective of this project was to (i) focus on statistical approaches aimed at ensuring that estimates of individual indicators are as robust as possible, and (ii) present methods that can be used to report on the overall state of the system by integrating estimates of individual indicators.
It was agreed at the outset, that this project was to focus on developing methods for a water quality report card. This was driven largely by the requirements of Reef Water Quality Protection Plan (RWQPP) and led to strong partner engagement with the Reef Water Quality Partnership.
