I wrote in an earlier post about the growth of interest in the UK government around encouraging behaviour change. As one of the aims of this project is to get the design community involved in this challenge, it seems worth mentioning (for designers' benefit) a couple of specific areas in which behaviour change is currently sought after by government. I'll follow this post soon with another (for policy makers' benefit) looking at a couple of ways (apart from the "persuasive technology" examples) in which designers have done a great job of designing for behaviour change.
It's fair to say that interest in behaviour change is booming at the national level of UK government. For example, a recent review of behaviour change models (and guidelines for applying them in policy) was carried out by Government Social Research (GSR) (an office that belongs to the Treasury, but works across twenty government departments), which describes the rationale behind the interest in behaviour change:
Policy making for behaviour change recognises that individuals need to change their own behaviour in order for government's wider goals for society to be achieved. The need for policy, which explicitly aims to bring about behavioural change among individuals is based on the realisation that for some complex problems, government cannot bring about change on its own. Lasting change requires a total partnership approach led by government, and including a wide range of stakeholders and organisations, as well as individuals themselves. [1]
This shift from top-down government to co-productive governance is marked by a retreat from policy makers' reliance on traditional policy instruments (fiscal incentives and taxes), now recognised to be effective only on perfectly rational people (a rare breed), towards the more complex models of behaviour described in such reviews. These more sophisticated models draw people's attitudes, agency, social norms, habits and emotions into the equation.
GSR's report is the first cross-departmental initiative on behaviour change, but comes on top of other work that has taken place in various departments.
One of the departments most prominent in the field is Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) who have recently established an Environmental Behaviours Unit, who's job it is to:
...assemble, analyse and translate evidence related to pro-environmental behaviours and to work within Defra and with external stakeholders to improve the design and implementation of policy interventions aimed at helping individuals and communities live more environmentally sustainable lifestyles. [2]
The Department for Transport (in work also related to climate change) has shown interest in behaviour change and was ahead of the curve, publishing research in 2006 on why people's knowledge and attitudes about climate change fail to turn in to actual changes in travel behaviour. As an aside, the DfT regret the fact that there is no 'grand unified theory' of behaviour change - a problem that the RSA is currently working on.
As might be expected, the Department of Health are interested in behaviour change, looking at how social marketing techniques might be applied to encourage behaviour change and setting up a specific Social Marketing and Health-related Behaviour Team. Communities and Local Government are also in the process of conducting research to find out (among other things) which behaviours are desirable and what their drivers are, and the department for Children, Schools and Families have a large body of practical research on behaviour in schools.
The Cabinet Office are also in the act, with their work in 2008 on achieving culture change, which concentrates on the idea of cultural capital - people's attitudes, values, aspirations and sense of self-worth. Even the Foreign Office have a chapter in a report on how communications can change behaviour.
Some interesting work is conducted by the Department for International Development (DFID), who as well as funding South Africa's most popular soap opera - which always make a point of using condoms in their storylines - also distribute female condoms via hair salons in Zimbabwe - "Get braids, not AIDS" - as the headline says.
DFID's example is a bit of fresh air to be honest - the behaviour change conversation in government can seem (to an outsider) repetitive and rather lacking in creative ideas. For example, Defra's consultation with energy suppliers over the supplier obligation policy (a commitment that will run from 2011 and require energy suppliers to meet CO2 reduction targets by providing their domestic customers with energy efficiency measures) showed energy suppliers feared the extent to which Defra was relying on them to produce behaviour change in their customers. Defra had hoped to save a quarter of all savings after 2011 by behaviour change, and to create this huge behaviour change and associated CO2 saving, suggested roughly these measures:
Activities of the Energy Saving Trust
Energy Performance Certificates
Climate change communications
Real-time displays and smart meters
Personal carbon allowances
Do you think designers could help create better behavioural policies?

I recently returned from two weeks at our fishing cabin in Eastern Maine. The weather was mostly gray and cool (we had a fire in the wood stove two days) but my kids enjoyed getting in the (freezing cold) lake every day. We enjoyed time with my family, took a trip to Canada, enjoyed various water sports and generally unwound. I love my time on this little island. If you'd like a more complete story about my special place, read this post that I wrote several years ago.
I didn't get a lot of stitching done but I did take some nice pictures so that's what this post will be about. I'm heading off to a sewing retreat at the end of the week and hope to have some projects to share when I get back.

Have just spent an enjoyable three nights at Wingan Inlet, relaxing, walking and kayaking. Saw many people blow in for the night, camp and clear off quickly in the morning, including a group of NSW off road motor bike riders who camped in the bushwalkers area. They were very quiet and considerate fellows who did not disturb anyone. Have made the assumption that many are not paying in advance for their stay. Can't really blame them as mid $30 a night is a bit steep. Did not see a ranger, so as is the norm, the honest pay, while the others don't give a damn! However, money does appear to be a problem for Parks Victoria, as only three out of four toilets were in operation. Apparently, one was full, so door locked and would not be pumped out till another was also full. Made it difficult, as the other toilet was the most popular, as it didn't stink like the two near the information board. The jetty is taped off with do not use signs as it is derelict. Word was that Parks does not plan to replace it. Sad state of affairs.

text: Last year technology bloomed. Things like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) emerged and took the world by storm. Each year trends in web design were defined by technological advancements, and this year will be no exception. With faster internet speeds and devices that pack a more powerful punch, what we know to be possible is being redefined each day. Our main focus here will be fashion websites, but most of these trends will be dominant in other industries as well. The fashion industry has been very swift in jumping on the opportunity of using new technologies in retail, and they won't stop there. They'll continue pushing on into the online world. However, we'll be seeing some of the more down-to-earth, traditional trends as well. Let's get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we?

If you are going to ask your athletes to do something it truly helps to lead by example. I have learned through experience that if your athletes see you as the hardest working member of the team, it makes it hard for them to question what you are doing or complain. This has been a great area of growth for me over the past couple of years, especially when it comes to strength and conditioning. I first want to preface that although it helps if you have been around the game of basketball, it is not crucial that every coach have played the game of basketball growing up.
My first couple of seasons at Ontario, I was horribly out of shape and it was difficult to get my athletes to completely commit to our strength and conditioning program. A couple of years ago I committed to fitness for myself and lost over 150 pounds and am now in the greatest shape of my life (shockingly, diet and exercise actually works). Now when we have conditioning before or during practice, I will get out there and do the workouts with my athletes and I no longer get any complaints and notice a guilty look from students who sit out a conditioning workout that I am doing with the team. This is just one example of a way that I have been able to lead by example.
Another great way to lead by example is make sure that you are at the gym before any of your athletes and you are the last one to leave. I make an effort to be in the gym reviewing game film when my athletes arrive and stay in the gym after practice to meet with my assistant coaches. Athletes notice these things and will respect you more if they see that you are committed to working hard and devoting time to the program. Being knowledgeable about your offense and defense will help them respect your knowledge of the game as well. Whenever a question gets brought up about something we are doing on offense or defense, I make an effort to give a solution or answer that has depth and shows that I am in complete understanding of what we are doing, how we need to do it, and what the expected outcome is.
Overall, it's a great idea to lead by example because you are a role model to these athletes and it will help you be more successful as a coach. I am always open to suggestions so if you have any ideas, suggestions, or questions, please feel free to comment on this post or send me an e-mail.

Motto: A rising tide lifts all ships:
This website has a theme: A rising tide lifts all ships.
When I learn something new I am happy to share it in case others may benefit. I have a rich mix of interests many of which I hope to use to improve my understanding of others and in turn, improve my writing, storytelling and communication skills. As I have several works out in the market, that is always a good thing.
Also, knowledge is power. I can increase my personal power by widening my perceptions.
If you feel there is content on this site, that interests you, enjoy. I invite you to comment on the subject matter and maybe add more links that can, in turn, expand all readers' understanding.
That creates a win/win situation for all of us.
I have a lot of pots on the fire. The ones boiling at the highest temperature are my books, stories, and storytelling. If you have a specific question please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
My weekday blogs all touch upon different subjects that provide a rich variety of subject matter. Please glance over the explanations of blogs lower on this page and see if the topics interest you. It is my hope to update that theme once a week. Come visit the blog that interests you. Note that I encourage group participation. The blogs themselves are also listed in the side menu.
Everyone have a GREAT day.
There is a new blog each work day and occasionally on weekends for good behavior.
Blog Themes:
Monday: Teaching Embellishments
Object Lessons and other teaching ideas are discussed on Mondays. You and I will discuss what we find to be successful techniques in teaching such as things people have done to make memorable Sunday school sessions, humor, youth camps, class techniques or lectures. Some of these ideas are gained through the observation of some excellent teachers and others, I created. Mondays often cover object lessons which may be useful to youth ministries, family devotionals and family home evenings. if you have used a tool or technique in your ministry that has proven to be successful, please feel free to share. Sometimes this blog will take a different slant and be dedicated to different religious topics or on an item/subject where I have learned something new. Some content comes from church or firesides etc. Hope you enjoy the variety.
Tuesday: Tasks, Errands, and Projects – Oh My
I make up lists and many people do the same. On Tuesdays, I come up with a topic to create a list on or tell an idea of something that has helped me organize a part of my life. I'll invite a conversation where we discuss what needs to be added to the list. For example for international travel one needs to remember that other countries use a different voltage for their electric equipment than those in the USA. USA citizens may need an adaptor. These are the types of things discussed on tasks etc. If you were part of a group who organized some event and you would like to share the things you've learned, contact me.
Wednesday: Rock Soup
This day involves a discussion on different types of creativity. It may overwrite, plot design, storytelling, inventions, art, and humor. I might also touch upon plot; which has to do with brainstorming and writing. The topics may range from fun ideas I've come up with in my brainstorming sessions to what I've learned from others. A lot of people say they have difficulty coming up with ideas. I've never had that problem. As I pop out a plot, I've come up with, let's see if my ideas can help those who have difficulty with creating a story. If you took notes while attending a great author or storyteller presentation and you want to share it with others, contact me about posting it up on this site and to include proper credit acknowledgments and your website.
Thursday: Speller Beezy and other ailments
Everyone has their own techniques on better spelling and learning things. I've had a difficult time with spelling all my life. So on Thursdays, I share with my visitors, things I've learned such as new ways to improve my spelling or other interesting tidbits. You get to come along for the ride.
I use mnemonics as one of my tools to help me memorize things. Let's see if the combination of our ideas creates some great results. We will discuss mnemonics, visualization, or other techniques on how to remember the spelling of difficult words. There can also memory tricks for history and science etc. In there I will also allow the temptation to share some famous quotes I've liked.
Friday: Goulash
This would be a weekly blog on topics not discussed on other days of the week. This also might be the day that I invite another to guest blogger so that you can be introduced to their website and talents. Also when I attend a lecture or writing workshop I often take notes. This would be a good day to share something I've learned.If you have taken notes on a lecture about any topic and you would like to share them with others, let me know and if I like it, I'll share it with your name and website attached.
Random: Vent
In recent years I have become increasingly concerned about the state of our nation. This will be an occasional blog where I will share information I am learning about or I might post audio files of lectures or presentations I attend locally. Join me as I take my fledgling steps of becoming more educated on national and local issues.

Here's a blurb of the book!
He needs a wife for three weeks…
Owen Phipps is out for revenge. His mission? To expose the man who stole his sister's money and dignity. All he needs is a "wife" who can play along. Too bad his last best hope is an actress who tries to mace him with perfume when he offers her the role of a lifetime.
Lindy Knight is a real sap. She loves too hard, feels too deep, and often finds herself saying yes when she should be saying "Let me think about it." She can't believe her good fortune when Owen offers her more than enough money to hold off foreclosure until she can find a job. Three weeks at a resort, money she desperately needs, and she gets to help bring a criminal to justice? Score.
It seems easy enough until the first time a couples bonding game turns intimate, and they realize how dangerous their mutual attraction could be. Can they keep their hands to themselves long enough to find the evidence Owen needs? Or are the close quarters more temptation than they can handle?
Please check out the Entangled website here for an extended excerpt!

In the cooling room at Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese.
I recently read about a recall of over 14 tons of ground beef in Vermont. This got me thinking about a number of things.
First, this is a lot of meat. I wondered how many steers (or old dairy cows) it takes to make 14 tons of ground beef...

Countries such as Russia, China, India and USA have large numbers of hackers in the world. These countries have contributed to the crime of gaining access to high-profile networks, websites, banks and defense systems. With the help of advanced computer skills, a computer hacker can hack into a system to access unauthorized data. Hackers who cause danger to an individual or organization's data are known as cyber-criminals. There are many well-organized hacker groups in the world that are popular for their notoriety to steal data, break into confidential systems and even damaging networks. Some of these groups are equally dangerous. Some of these hacker groups have caused loss in millions. So, which are the world's most dangerous hacker groups?
Here is a list of top 10 most dangerous hacker groups in the world:
10. Honker Union
Honker Union is a group of hacktivists from China whose main motto was to attack governmental websites of the United States. The word "Honker" literally means "Red Guest". The word emerged after May 1999, when the United States bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Since the event, the patriotic Honker Union formed to launch series of attacks on websites in the United States. The group attacked websites of Iranian government and other popular websites after the Iranian Cyber Army hacked the Chinese website Baidu. The dangerous group has launched attacks on thousands of websites in Vietnam after the Sino-Vietnamese South China sea disputes. The Honker Union had also launched patriotic hacker war against Philippines and Japan after disputes with these countries. In 2008, the Tibetan writer and blogger Tsering Woeser was under a cyber-attack by Honker Union.
9. UGNazi
UGNazi is one of the hacker groups in the world to have brought down Twitter in 2012. The site was down for 2 hours and is considered one of the worst crash the site ever faced. UGNazi is the short form for Underground Nazi Hacktivist Group formed in 2011 and is responsible for Distributed Denial of Service attacks against United States government websites in opposition to CISPA and SOPA bills. A 12 year hacker from UGNazi group known as Cosmo or Cosmo the God was sentenced in juvenile court in 2012. The group has attacked many reputed websites of the U.S. Government such as CIA, Washington Military Department and many more.
8. Anonymous
Anonymous is another dangerous hacker group in the world which has its network all over the planet. The network of activists and hacktivists has their origin from 2003 and has brought down several governmental, religious and corporate websites. As represented in the film and novel V for Vendetta, the members of the group are seen as publicly as wearing the Guy Fawkes masks in style. During its initial stages of establishment, the concept of acting anonymously as a decentralized online community yet in a coordinated manner was adapted.
The group is known to have targeted government agencies of United States, Israel, Uganda, Tunisia and many others. Several arrests throughout the world have been carried out for the involvement of anonymous cyber-attacks. In 2012, the Time magazine called Anonymous as one of the "100 most influential people" in the world. Critics have described them as "cyber terrorists" while many supporters call them as "freedom fighters".
7. LulzSec
LulzSec is closely related to the Anonymous group. Hector Xavier Monsegur, known by the online pseudonym Sabu, an American hacker is the founder of the group. The black-hat computer hacking group has its origin from 2011 and is currently broken up. The group had claimed high-profile attacks such as making the CIA websites offline and compromising the user accounts from Sony Pictures. The 6 member group was known to hack "for the lulz". At just after midnight (BST, UT+01) on 26 June 2011, LulzSec released a "50 days of lulz" statement, which they claimed to be their final release, confirming that LulzSec consisted of six members, and that their website is to be shut down. Even after its shutdown, the group again hacked and defaced the News Corporation website on 18 July. Several attacks have also taken place against its members by rival hacker groups.
6. Xbox Underground
Xbox Underground is one of the most dangerous hacker groups for gaming websites. The group is popular for hacking into Microsoft's computer network to understand the source-code of Microsoft games and Xbox gaming consoles. The hacking was carried out of curiosity against the upcoming Xbox releases. The group has also compromised data of Activision, Epic Games, and Valve. Xbox Underground repeatedly compromised Microsoft computer networks in 2011 and 2013. The group spent 100s of hours to search, analyze and understand the source-codes, logs, user credentials, technical specifications and other sensitive game data of Microsoft's network. Another dangerous attack from the group was breaching the security network of the United States military.
5. Lizard Squad
Lizard Squad is similar to Xbox Underground as they were also concerned with gaming networks such as the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live services. The community is mainly known for their distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on gaming-related services. On September 3, 2014, the Lizard Squad announced their disbandment but later came up with several varieties of attacks. On January 26, 2015, the website of Malaysia Airlines was attacked by redirecting users to a page bearing an image of a tuxedo-wearing lizard, and reading "Hacked by Cyber Caliphate". Media report claims around the world said versions of the takeover in some regions included the wording "ISIS will prevail", which listed concerns of Lizard Squad's association with the Islamic State.
Apart from gaming services, the group brought the Internet in North Korea offline, Sybil attack against Tor network and Machinima.com. Julius Kivimaki (zeekill) is a Finnish member of Lizard Squad who is responsible for 50,000 counts of cyber-crime.
4. The 414s
The 414s is one of the world's most notorious hacking groups. The group gained notoriety in the early 1980s when a group of friends and computer hackers broke into several high-profile computer systems such as Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Security Pacific Bank. The young teenagers of 6 members with the age group of 16 to 22 were responsible for their attacks. The image above is of Neal Patrick, a 17-year-old student at Rufus King High School, was a member of the 414s. A movie with the name The 414s: The Original Teenage Hackers was a crime film about the teenage hackers of 414s. These young, energetic and intelligent teenagers broke into extremely secure systems running Digital Equipment Corporation's VMS operating system. Patrick claimed his only motivation was the challenge of getting into places he was not supposed to, and remaining there undetected.
3. RedHack
RedHack is a Turkish communist hacker group which is responsible for hacking many Turkish governmental websites such as the Council of Higher Education, Turkish Army, Turkish police forces, National Intelligence Organization and the Türk Telekom. The hacking group with a core membership count of twelve is one of the world's most wanted hacker group. The group is the first hacker group in the world to be declared as a terrorist organization. Several arrests have taken place in 2012 and 2013 from the group to curb the hacking. This group has been active since 1997 and are known to be a dangerous hacking community who delete files, corrupt data, deface websites and control hardware such as CCTV cameras. The group's leader and founder is known by the pseudonym name MaNYak.
2. Syrian Electronic Army
The Syrian Electronic Army is one of the most powerful groups of hackers in the world. The group even released an OS by the name SEANux (Syrian Electronic Army Linux). The group was launched in 2011 to support the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. As of 2011 the SEA has been "the first Arab country to have a public Internet Army hosted on its national networks to openly launch cyber-attacks on its enemies". The organization used several hacking techniques against opposition groups, western news organizations, human rights groups and websites that are seemingly neutral to the Syrian conflict. Today, the precise nature of relationship with the Syrian Government is unclear and has changed over time. Several websites from 2011 till 2015 have been attacked by this dangerous group of hackers.
1. The Level Seven Crew
The Level Seven Crew is the most dangerous hacker group in the world and most widely known for the September 7, 1999 defacement of (The US Embassy in China's Website), in regards to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings. The Level Seven was formed during the mid to late 90's by vent and foil whose original details are unknown. The group eventually dispersed when nominal head 'vent' was raided by the FBI on February 25, 2000. Level Seven is credited with being the first group to hack a .ma domain and server in Morocco. The group has been attributed on the Attrition's Top 20 most active groups of all time by claiming responsibility for over 60 unauthorized penetrations of computer systems in 1999 alone. First American National Bank, The Federal Geographic Data Committee, NASA and Sheraton Hotels are some of the reputed websites hacked by the group.

Once upon a time there was a writer named Chris Claremont. And with the help of artists like John Byrne and Dave Cockrum and editors like Jim Shooter, he penned one of the greatest runs in comic book history.
And partially thanks to him, the name X-Men is a household name.
Unfortunately, the more popular Chris Claremont got the more books he began taking on. At one point he wasn't just writing the monthly adventures of The Uncany X-Men, he was also writing New Mutants, the rebranded adventures of the original X-Men called X-Factor and the adventures of X- Characters in the U.K. Excalibur. I even think he wrote a few issues of the 1988 solo Wolverine series too.
But with each new title Claremont took the X-world got bigger, more cumbersome and hard to follow. While Claremont still created many classic storylines, his approach to storytelling started feeling contrived and forced at times. And Instead of stories that ended in two or three issues, stories started to drag on as plot threads were started in X-books and never really came to a satisfying conclusion. Later in his run, a lot of characters were created but never really fully developed like the Adversary and Mr. Sinster. A lot of plot threads from the Mutant Massacre like Kitty Pryde's being stuck in intangible form and Colossus being stuck in his armored form hung like they were on a cheap suit without an organic conclusion.
And to this day I'm STILL trying to figure out what Longshot contributed to the X-team.
And a lot of times readers like myself were left scratching our heads, especially in the aftermath of events like Fall of the Mutants, Inferno and the built up Reavers storyline that meandered to an anticlimactic finish with the Siege Perilous Ex Machina.
But most comic fans didn't care. Because X-Men sold like hotcakes. And because they sold like hotcakes Chris Claremont could do no wrong. Even though the quality of his stories clearly declined from the 1970s comic fans believed in him.
Fast forward to the 21st Century. A writer named Goeff Johns is being put on the same pedestal by comic fans and DC editorial that Chris Claremont was put on over at Marvel. Thanks to the success of his runs on Flash and JSA and Green Lantern many believe that Goeff Johns can do no wrong. Whenever a book is in trouble call on Goeff Johns. Whenever the DC Universe is in trouble call on Goeff Johns.
Now that Dan Didio and Warner Brothers have painted themselves into a corner with the New 52 they're calling on Goeff Johns to fix it with Rebirth.
That's not fair to him.
Back when Johns was given the helm of DC's flagship New 52 Justice League I believed they gave him too much to do. And it was then I started seeing the same decline in quality I saw in Chris Claremont's work back in the late 1980s.
It was clear to me and my family members who read X-men back in 1986 that Claremont's storytelling had declined. That he was taking on too many titles. That he was burning out.
My professional assessment is that Goeff Johns is burning out in the exact same way Chris Claremont did back in the 1980s. He's taking on too many projects. Trying to carry the load of fixing the entire DC Universe on his own. He's suffering from writer fatigue and he needs a break from superheroes.
No one person is going to fix the DC Universe on their own. And no one should expect one person to fix the editorial, creative and business problems at DC. Back in 1986 when DC did the first Crisis of Infinite Earths Marv Wolfman and George Perez had an entire TEAM of writers, artists and editors working with them to get DC competitive again. They didn't put all their hopes on one writer and expect a miracle.
Everyone in comics needs to understand that Goeff Johns is not a golden boy. Yes there are writers who pen popular stories and work with popular characters, but no editor worth their salt puts all their eggs in their basket. What happens when they write a bad story or a bad storyline? What happens when their hot character they're working on declines in popularity? What happens when their sales decline? What happens when their run ends? It's just not good for business to put all the hopes of the company on one writer.
A publishing house is a TEAM. And everyone has to pull their weight in order to produce quality titles. Again, it's not fair to Goeff Johns if he has to carry the weight of rebuilding the DC catalog when there are numerous other qualified writers on the payroll. If editorial doesn't have the vision to set a direction for them and the publications they produce, then it's time for a new editorial team to lead the DC Comics brand.

We first saw Darlene Zimmerman's fabulously retro line Betty Dear at Spring Quilt Market. The Robert Kaufman booth had a small army of mannequins dressed in aprons made from her fabrics. We were in instant adoration!
Whether for dresses, bags, quilts or aprons these prints offer a wonderful vintage appeal! We can't wait to see what you'll make.
My mom already has an awesome apron in the works, Im very excited to see it finished.
Perhaps I can get her to share that with you when she's done.
Happy Friday!

Applies to platform: All UTM 3.0, except for ARM
Updated on: 13th June 2018
This document lists the requirements and shows the steps to successfully upgrade your Endian UTM Appliance from the 3.0.5 to the 5.0 version. Since the 5.0 is a 64bits release based on a new platform, to complete the upgrade it is mandatory to reinstall the operating system and therefore to schedule a period of downtime of the appliance, whose length depends on the services to restore and the type of appliance.
Warning for special setups
- If you have a 3.0 HA cluster that you want to migrate to 5.0, please open a ticket on the support portal
- Appliances with the Switchboard module installed can not be upgraded to 5.0 at the moment. Appropriate images will be released soon.
- If you have hotspots configured as Master and Satellites, it is mandatory that all the systems run the same software version and therefore be migrated at the same time. If you have such a setup, it is suggested to open a ticket with Endian support for directions.
UTM Appliances that can be upgraded
This is the full list of the UTM appliances that can be upgraded to EndianOS:
Mini 25, Mini 25 WiFi, Mercury 50, Mercury 100, Macro 250, Macro 500, Macro 1000, Macro 2500, Virtual, and Software.
For the following models: Mercury (2011 Edition), Macro X1 (2011 Edition) and Macro X2 (2011 Edition), the upgrade is available only if the serial number of the appliance is TSBxxxxxx.
To be able to upgrade to 5.0, it is mandatory to have:
- A full up-to-date Endian Appliance 3.0 or 3.0.5, with all packages updated to their latest version.
- A valid maintenance.
- A valid Endian Network account.
System Requirements for Virtual and Software UTM Appliances
The minimum requirements to upgrade to the 5.0 are the following:
- CPU Intel x86_64 compatible / 1GHz Minimum (Dual-core 2 GHz Recommended).
- Multi-Processor Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) support included.
- RAM 2GB minimum (4 GB recommended).
- Hard Disk 8GB Minimum (20 GB Recommended) Support for full virtualization and paravirtualization.
- CD-ROM Physical and virtual drives as supported by the hypervisor.
- Network Cards 2 Virtual NICs Minimum / Support for full virtualization and paravirtualization.
- Supported Hypervisors: Xen, Vmware, KVM, and Hyper-V.
The whole upgrade procedure is divided into two parts: A Preparation step and the Installation step.
1. Preparation
The initial steps of the procedure are much like in the previous upgrades:
- Make a full update of the appliance, using the GUI (System > Updates) or issuing this command from the CLI:
root@endian:~ # efw-update upgrade
- If you have a virtual appliance, download a 3.0 ISO image to be used for disaster recovery, in case something goes wrong during the upgrade process. Images can be downloaded from https://download.endian.com/your-ac-code
- Make a full backup of the appliance, which can then be copied from the Endian appliance and saved in a safe place. This backup can be stored also for legal reasons, since it contains all of the data (configuration settings, database dump, all log files) present on the Endian appliance.
- Make a backup of the appliance which includes only the current settings and database dupms (options Current configuration and Include database dumps) and use this one as the backup to restore on the migrated appliance. This is suggested for several reasons: the whole procedure will bes quicker, since the least amount of data is being restored, resulting in shorter downtime, it will be less error-prone (in case the backup becomes corrupted for any reasons)
- (optional) If you have a virtual appliance, make a snapshot of the current state of the VM, to be restored if you experience problems during or after the installation.
- Switch the channel of the appliance on Endian Network from 3.0 to 5.0
NoteThe button will not show up in Endian Network, if the appliance is not eligible for the update or if there are updates to be installed.
- Download from the dedicated section on Endian Network the installation image corresponding to your model.
NoteIf you have a virtual or a software appliance, download the 5.0 image from http://download.endian.com/your-ac-code The 5.0 image will be available after you switch the channel on Endian Network.
- Burn the image on an USB stick. Please refer to this article for directions on how to create such a USB stick.
2. Installation
Once you downloaded the installation image, these are the steps to be followed:
- If you have a hardware appliance (Mini, Mercury, Macro), make sure you boot it from the USB drive. To make sure the boot order is correct, please follow this howto.
- Start the installation process normally.
- Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
Reboot and Registration to Endian Network
After the successful installation, the appliance will reboot. At this point you should:
- Import the backup to your appliance. The system will be automatically registered and will show the new version in the GUI.
- Update the appliance with the latest availbale packages.
At this point you have a full up to date Appliance equipped with latest 5.0 version. Enjoy!

When John Rees-Evans declared his intention to stand as leader of the UK Independence Party on October 24th, it would be fair to say that not only did few people know him within political circles, but many within UKIP itself had not heard of him. In fact, it is something Rees-Evans admits to me when when we spoke in regard to setting-up this interview. But he's not bitter, and nor should he be. In the intervening time since entering the race, he gained support that took him to within 198 votes of being runner-up. I asked him if he was proud of gaining such a percentage from what was, in effect, a standing-start.
"Since many of our members do not have access to the internet, and I was on television only a couple of times, I suppose that even today probably not more than 1 in 3 UKIP members have still ever heard of me. So on reflection, I was very pleased with the result. And since I stood on a clear platform of Direct Democracy within UKIP, I think this result demonstrates that there is a very strong appetite for greater democratic representation of the membership throughout the party. I hope the leadership will recognise this and respond, and that my campaign will transpire to have been something that has contributed constructively towards growing the party and increasing both our appeal and the extent to which members engage with one another and are motivated to contribute towards achieving tangible results at local and national elections."
Whilst Rees-Evans was very much an outsider throughout the campaign, he gained publicity and popularity amongst many UKIP members on November 3rd when he walked out of the second of four hustings events, citing his displeasure at what he felt was the party's wish for a "decorous coronation" of eventual winner Paul Nuttall. He also told the assembled members in Newport, Wales, that he had been cautioned by a party official for criticising the campaign of former party spokeswoman (and now the party's new co-Deputy Chair and Health Spokeswoman) Suzanne Evans. The passionate speech followed by his swift exit from the venue drew ovations and applause from several chunks of those assembled. Rees-Evans did not participate in any of the following hustings, and instead undertook a tour across Britain to meet members. I asked him if he felt this move gave him more support.
"Yes, definitely. I feel I would probably have struggled to achieve as much as 10% of the vote had I not done this."
After the exit from the hustings, he gained support from Raheem Kassam, Nigel Farage's former advisor and leadership contender, who dropped out with similar concerns regarding the election process.
Another fruitful tactic on Rees-Evans's part was utilising large numbers of support through social media. Whilst many ordinary party members complained of being blocked on Twitter by Nuttall and Evans, Rees-Evans's follower numbers went up, and he interacted freely with many members regardless of whether he had their support. Coincidentally, one of Kassam's key policies in his manifesto before withdrawing was his plan to take UKIP into "the digital-age". Rees-Evans agrees.
"Yes, absolutely. Every year the extent to which social media and the internet will influence political outcomes will necessarily increase, while the relative effect of mainstream media broadcasts will decrease. UKIP needs to identify this fact and capitalise on the potential for massive gains to be achieved through the use of modern technological tools without delay, if we are to have any hope of breaking through our 13% vote share ceiling."
Rees-Evans's key policy at the centre of his manifesto was the concept of direct democracy. When he spoke to New Media Central UK before the result, Rees-Evans told me that the concept of direct democracy was "a demonstrably far more honest expression of genuine democracy than the unsatisfactory approximation of feigned democracy that we have now". Shortly before this particular interview took place, Rees-Evans was barred from participating in a debate involving Nuttall and Evans on BBC's Sunday Politics. In a livestream on his Facebook page, Rees-Evans accused the corporation of misleading him when they had originally asked him to appear on its sister show Daily Politics. He told me that he was "convinced that the cooperation between Paul and Suzanne and the BBC in shutting me out of the debate has served to damage both of them substantially, and added: "Conversely, these actions have proven beyond doubt that I am the only genuine anti-establishment candidate in this race and the fact of this has attracted a surprisingly substantial amount of support to me today."
His support spread to this very website. After endorsing Kassam's campaign, NMC UK decided to endorse Rees-Evans's. UK Editor Sebastian Cheek met Rees-Evans during a march in support of Brexit in the week leading-up to the result. Sebastian commented at the time: "John is a man of courage and despite the tremendous odds stacked against him he's kept going. Countless times the other two candidates have refused to debate him or even appear alongside him because he "rocks the boat"….what is this if not a coronation? He stands defiant, as a real leader would."
With the outcome official, Rees-Evans has turned his attention to creating a direct democracy think-tank within the party. He is currently asking members to aid him with this process and vote on its name. I asked him to expand on his plan.
"It's a pioneering exercise in implementing Direct Democracy within a political party. The group will propose, develop and debate policy and campaign initiatives and will feed the results of its deliberation to the leadership and the NEC for their consideration. If the group produces valuable results, it is my hope that the party will come to recognise the value of such a policy-creation system and will increase the extent to which policy is formulated in direct consultation with the members. Ultimately, I would hope that Direct Democracy will eventually become the means by which policy is formulated within the party. With the now obvious ease with which a technologically-driven party that harnesses revolutionary communication tools and techniques may so quickly be established and grow, it is only a matter of time – perhaps months – before a major new party based on the Direct Democracy model is created. This is undoubtedly the future of British politics. UKIP should think very carefully about whether they want to continue to be the pioneers in British politics, or whether they are now content to sit on their laurels and wait for a more visionary party that we may otherwise expect to emerge, to soon take the lead in building a mass membership political movement."
Since the election of Nuttall as leader, many have become wary of his decisions to appoint people who have previously criticised Farage's leadership. Suzanne Evans, as previously mentioned, is Health Spokeswoman and co-Deputy Chair, and Patrick O'Flynn, who described Farage as "thin-skinned, snarling and aggressive" after the 2015 General Election, is Sport & Media Spokesman and Nuttall's "Senior Political Advisor".
It remains to be seen what the future for UKIP is under Nuttall's leadership, but I can speak for my Editor and I in saying that we sincerely hope that the future for John Rees-Evans within the party is very bright indeed. Whilst many within UKIP are more interested in cosying to the mainstream media and listing their achievements in Debrett's, Rees-Evans has only one interest – the people.

Outstanding Food at Kabob and Curry, Providence, RI
A little over two months ago, we dined at an Indian restaurant in Providence called, well, India Restaurant. The place was terrific, with outdoor dining, a romantic and exotic interior, and food that was quite good. Well, about a week ago we returned to Providence for more Indian food, and while the atmosphere at Kabob and Curry was much more plain and simple than that of India Restaurant, I thought that the food was better, possibly being about the best food of its kind that I've had in a long time.
Kabob and Curry is a few minutes south of India Restaurant (which is in a quiet, pleasant area near the Pawtucket border), in the heart of College Hill and within walking distance of the downtown section of the city. Like many businesses on bustling Thayer Street, the restaurant is rather small, though it does have two floors of dining, giving it a bit more space than some of the other nearby eateries. The first floor of Kabob and Curry is set in an enclosed four-season porch with a slanted ceiling and large windows affording views out over the street, while the upstairs section is a basic dining room with a handful of tables. The first floor, which is where we were seated, is definitely the preferred spot if you like to people-watch, though folks looking for a quieter, more intimate meal are probably better off in the upstairs area.
The menu at Kabob and Curry features a mix of familiar and not-so-familiar Indian items. On our recent visit there, we did a mix of both, starting with a delicious naan stuffed with a mild homemade cheese and an absolutely sublime idli sambar, which is a plate of steamed rice and lentil dumplings. This latter dish featured breadlike dumplings smothered in a rich lentil sauce and seasoned with various spices, including mustard seeds. The slightly hot chutney that came with the dish gave the dumplings a little boost, though they were so flavorful (mainly from the lentil sauce) that they almost didn't need the chutney. Our entrees were similarly satisfying, with the chicken korma featuring perfectly cooked white meat chicken in a creamy sauce and a sweet and savory mix of raisins and nuts, while the chicken tikka masala had a richer sauce than many others I've tried, and the herbs and spices mixed into the dish only added to the goodness of it. Drinks included a very pulpy mango lassi (smoothie) and a lychee drink that had a floral sweetness to it. Service was low-key and friendly, while prices were about where they should have been.
I would have to say that our dinner at Kabob and Curry ranked among the top five I've had so far in 2010, with the idli sambar being perhaps the best individual food item I've had all year. If only this place were in the Boston area, I'd probably go there every week or two, but it is perhaps just as well that it is located in Providence, giving me yet another reason to head down to this fun and interesting city less than an hour from Beantown.
For those who want the address for Kabob and Curry, here it is: Kabob and Curry, 261 Thayer Street, Providence, RI, 02906. The phone number is (401) 273-8844.

Increasing Search Traffic By 20,000 Visitors Per Month Without Full CMS Access - Here's How...Blog Post: May 01, 2014
Excellent post and thanks for sharing the clear and specific examples of what you did to turn things around! Duplicate page titles, duplicate page content and missing or non-existent Metatags are relatively easy to correct but so often get overlook because of the CMS itself or the web resources are moving as fast as possible just to get the content updated and online. Then, I agree with many others here: if you get a boost in consistent traffic you'd better have great, relevant content and maintain it consistently.

This week in La-La Land we are creating with Polka Dots. I used a gorgeously spotty digital paper and printed it at a smaller scale for paper piecing her dress, and then at it's normal scale for the background. I love being able to scale digital papers to suit the part of the project I'm using it for - and yet it still all ties in together in the final design.
Don't forget to pop over to our BLOG where you can check out inspiration from my amazing teamies and remember La-La Land Crafts also have a Facebook Page HERE and La-La Lands Facebook Group HERE. We love seeing your amazing creations using La-La Land Stamps and Dies too.

NYFF: Go Go Tales
© 2007 D. Gordon
Yep, Q & As can be pretty telling.
Scott Foundas, film editor and critic at L.A. Weekly and member of the festival selection committee, acted as moderator. The idea was to get brief impressions from the ten people seated at the table, then go to the audience for questions. Willem Dafoe, seated at his left, followed the script; but Scott then moved to Sylvia Miles, who started in on her reminisces. Abel Ferrarra, down at the other end of the table, jumped in with comments, and then they were off. A few others joined in (especially Burt Young), and things shifted into cocktail party land. The jokes and banter completely took over, neglecting the whole "Q & A" concept until almost the very end of the allotted time.
But it was the kind of banter and frenetic energy that people very comfortable with each other share (well, either comfortable with each other or partying with each other in the Green Room beforehand). And that's the kind of frenetic energy that plays across the screen in Ferrarra's Go Go Tales.
Go Go Tales is a night in the life of a strip joint. Ray Ruby's Paradise Club lies somewhere in New York City. Lilian, the crusty old battleaxe who owns the building, is on the warpath – the club's four months behind on the rent and Bed Bath and Beyond is offering her more money in regular payments. John Ruby, brother of Ray and Mr. Hairdresser of Staten Island, has been funding the club for years – and seeing nothing for it (although he's not above sampling the merchandise from time to time). He's about had it and has come to call it quits. The strippers, who by and large have bigger dreams and are there just to pay their bills, are ready to go on strike if the don't get paid soon. The cook – er, gourmet chef – is fed up with the girls treating him like dirt and no one appreciating his free-range hot dogs. And Ray Ruby, the manager of the club, the head of this little family, and his bookkeeper have concocted a secret scheme to take the club's funds, buy as many lottery ticket as possible (using a carefully constructed mathematical formula, even), and win the $18 million lottery; it's successful, except... they can't find where they put the winning ticket. Yep, it's another night at Ray Ruby's Paradise Club.
This is definitely a comedy of errors. One of the bouncers replaces burnt out bulbs in the girls' tanning bed with regular fluorescent bulbs, causing the fire you'd expect. An unexpected busload of tourists – customers, which the club sorely needs – pulls up and enters, only to find out they're in the wrong club and exit through the revolving doors, guided by a man in a crab suit. Meanwhile everyone's after Ray, and he's after that pesky lottery ticket. It's screwball crossed with bump-and-grind.
There's a skill in managing all this lunacy. Abel Ferrarra had more or less dreamed up the world of the club, but everyone else had to come to the shoot (at Cinecittá in Rome) and learn it, and get beyond the language issues, and make it work. Somehow, they did.
Willem Dafoe is the lynchpin of the action, and he's wonderful as always. The slightly seedy but well-intentioned Ray Ruby is actually trying to keep his dream – the club – alive, and in doing that keep the dreams of everyone around him alive as well. (It's ironic that in a place that relies on its patrons' dreams, it's the staff's dreams that are most important.) One of the nice things about the movie is that the club isn't pimping the girls, chewing them up and spitting them out, and that they're quite capable of holding their own. They're allowed to dream as much as anyone else.
And Dafoe has a whole cast of solid actors behind him: Bob Hoskins, Matthew Modine, Burt Young, Sylvia Miles, Asia Argento, even Anita Pallenberg at the front counter. This is really an ensemble piece, and it looks like it became a labor of love. And the fruit of that labor is a fun little movie.

If you can now buy a website theme for $49 that is actually better than a website you would have paid $49,000 for just a few years ago, where does that leave web designers?
I had a call today with my buddy Perry Marshall, marketing genius and author of two of my favourite books: 80/20 Sales and Marketing, and his new Evolution 2.0.
We discussed "Web Design is Dead" and what it means for the web design or online marketing sector as a whole. And I've recorded the conversation, because I think you'll find it illuminating.
I'm doing most of the talking for the first half of this 52-minute discussion, where I present my ideas for the future of my profession, including…
- A new profit-sharing model to replace the old upfront-fees model.
- Scope for massive specialization, made possible by the new global skills marketplace.
- And the need for a new discipline: online marketing strategist.
In the second half, Perry gets to talk, and offers his thoughts on whether this "heaven on earth" scenario could ever be a reality.

The Bad News Marlins
Another evening and yet another loss. The Marlins have now dropped their last 8 consecutive games and future isn't looking any brighter. It's enough to make me want to throw a Scott Olsen tantrum. As a child growing up in the 1970s and 80s, I equate this team with the classic kids movie "The Bad News Bears". No, Fredi Gonzalez does not resemble Walter Matthau and Miguel Olivo doesn't look like Englebert from the movie. But if you watch the Marlins play defense, it's just as comical as the film.
Has there ever been a major league catcher with worse hands than Miguel Olivo? Anybody? Almost everytime there's a play at home plate, Olivo rarely comes up with the ball cleanly and makes the tag. He's cost the Marlins at least 4 games this year by dropping throws to the plate. When watching Olivo, you'd swear Roberto Duran was standing behind home plate wearing catcher's gear. Like the former boxing great, Olivo also has hands of stone. Olivo ranks second in the National League with 11 errors. Only Russell Martin of the Dodgers has more. And that doesn't include all the pass balls that escape his mitt.
Just last night, Hanley Ramirez airmails a throw over the head of Mike Jacobs to give the Cardinals the lead--which they would never relinquish. Chunky third baseman Miguel Cabrera is fun to watch with the bat, but painful to witness in the field.
I've been watching Marlin games since the franchise debuted in 1993 and I've never seen a worse defensive team at the major league level. And that's saying something. Yes, I remember the horror of watching Junior Felix trying to make catch fly balls in right field. He'd run circles around the outfield trying to find the ball only to have it drop nowhere near him. They could have stuck Stevie Wonder in right field and you wouldn't have noticed the difference. But believe it or not, this year's Marlins team is even worse defensively. It's almost like they're fielding a team full of designated hitters.
It doesn't help when three of your top starting pitchers from last year (Josh Johnson, Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco)have spent most of the season on the disabled list. Then add the lackluster season of Dontrelle Willis and the always combustible Scott Olsen and you've got a season down the tubes. Whether you're Fredi Gonzalez or Walter Matthau, it's very hard overcome those kind of deficiencies.

The condition of my hands goes in cycles. There are stretches of weeks where I don't have any issues with pain. Then there are weeks where my fingers are in crippling pain. This was most pronounced last year at this time, as we were coming off our busiest time of year at work and I was typing furiously all day.
I realize why this is happening and what it could mean, especially in the future. I try to take breaks while working to stop typing, but often I get caught up in a task and type nonstop for an hour.

Upcoming Events
Tuesday, March 19, 2019, 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. - Lobby Day for our Red Flag Bill
Announcing The Maine Gun Safety Coalition/Mom's Demand Action Joint Lobby Day for our Red Flag Bill. Next Tuesday, March 19.
Please join us March 19 from 8 AM to 2:30 PM for our lobby day at the State House! We will be speaking to law makers, the public, and the press about our Red Flag bill.
Our Red Flag bill empowers family members and law enforcement to seek an Extreme Risk Protection Order, a court order temporarily restricting a person's access to guns when they pose a risk to themselves or others. Red Flag Laws can save lives by creating a way for family members and law enforcement to act before warning signs escalate into tragedies. Red Flag Laws directly address the epidemic of suicide by firearm that is gripping Maine, and the country.
If you have questions, or can participate on the 19th, please contact Maine Gun Safety Coalition Executive Director Geoff Bickford by email at email@example.com.
You can read a recent op-ed in the Portland Press Herald about the importance of Red Flag laws here.
Sunday, February 3, 2019, 2:00 - 4:oo pm - Forum: Looking at the Second Amendment - U Maine Augusta - Jewett Auditorium
Pre-game the Super Bowl at what should prove to be an interesting and important discussion on the past, present, and future of the Second Amendment. Maine Gun Safety Coalition's Executive Director Geoff Bickford will be a panelist for this timely discussion.
For more information: https://www.uma.edu/news/forum-on-the-future-panel-discussion-looking-at-the-second-amendment/
Friday, December 14, 2018, Vigil to End Gun Violence, Portland, Maine
We hope that you can join us this Friday, December 14 at 6 p.m. at the First Parish at 425 Congress Street in Portland, for the 2018 Vigil to End Gun Violence. All are welcome.
This year, MGSC, along with Mom's Demand Action for Gun Sense in Maine and Remembering Darien will serve as the local hosts of the nationwide Vigil to End Gun Violence. The vigil is in remembrance of the six-year mark of the Sandy Hook Elementary school tragedy, where 20 children and 6 educators were killed, as well as well as the 600,000 American victims and survivors of gun violence since December 2012.
This year's program will feature remarks from family members who have lost loved ones to gun violence, music from the Pihcintu Choir and the Sea Change Chorale, poetry performed by Martin Steingesser and Judy Tierney, a bell ringing ceremony to mark those killed by firearms, and a candle lighting.
The Portland Vigil to End Gun Violence is one of 150 such vigils taking place around the nation in 30 states this December, and occurs shortly after the National Vigil to End Gun Violence, held on December 5, in Washington D.C.
The nationwide Vigils to End Gun Violence are organized by the Newtown Foundation, the charitable arm of the Newtown Action Alliance, in partnership with American Gun Safety Association, Amnesty International, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Center for American Progress, The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Community of Sant'Egidio, Community Justice Reform Coalition, Docs Demand Action, Everytown Survivor Network, Faiths United to Prevent Gun Violence, Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence, Junior Newtown Action Alliance, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, #NoRA, On Earth Peace, Organizing for Action, States United to Prevent Gun Violence, St Marks Episcopal Church, Survivors Empowered, Survivors Lead and Women's March.
We hope to see you there for what should be a powerful evening.
Thursday, November 15, 2018, Maine Gun Safety Coalition's 19th Annual Buzz Fitzgerald Award Dinner.
Tickets can be purchased here!
For more information, email: email@example.com
Please join us on November 15 for the Maine Gun Safety Coaltion's 19th Annual Buzz Fitzgerald Award Dinner. Every year we select Mainers who have been a force for gun safety, and recognize them for their hard work, courage, and moral vision. This year, we are privileged to honor all of the students across Maine who worked tirelessly to bring an end to gun violence in the wake of the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. These students organized protests and walk-outs, spoke at rallies, advocated for new gun safety measures, and persuaded their peers and adults alike to join the cause of gun safety in Maine. At the dinner, a select group of students will recieve the Fitzgerald Award on behalf of their fellow students. We will also honor recently-retired Chief of the Portland Police, and Maine Gun Safety Coalition board member Mike Sauschuck for his years of leadership in support of gun safety. Ticket sales go directly to supporting the Coalition in its continued work advocating for gun safety measures in Augusta, and around the state, distributing free trigger locks for any gunowner in need, and being a leading voice for keeping Mainers safe.
Please note that the price of the ticket is not tax-deductiable as they support our advocacy efforts. You may make a tax-deductible gift by addressing your check to the MGSC Foundation. Please send any questions to Geoff Bickford, Executive Director, at email@example.com
The Maine Gun Safety Coaltion would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Host Committee for their support of the Fitzgerald Dinner, and of the Coalition's work to keep Mainers safe from gun violence.

Saturday, March 24. March for Our Lives, is a national march on DC organized by students across the country. While MGSC is supporting students traveling to DC, we are encouraging supporters to attend a local march if they cannot travel to DC. Join us at one of the following Maine marches:
Monday, April 2 – Gun Violence Prevention Advocacy Day, is an opportunity for MGSC and coalition partners including Mom's Demand Action, domestic violence groups, and public health practitioners to advocate for bills such as Senator Dion's red flag law that was recently introduced thanks to the legislative council. Read MGSC's testimony from last year when we introduced a similar bill.
Tuesday, April 20 - Walk-In Against Gun Violence at USM - If we're going to make lasting change, we must educate and support high school and college students as they seek to learn more about gun violence policy and how to translate policy into political action. A National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools is scheduled for April 20, 2018, the 19th anniversary of Columbine. Since April 20 falls during Maine's spring break and makes a school walkout impossible, MGSC is planning a WALK-IN Against Gun Violence.
We invite high school and college students from around Maine to come together at the University of Southern Maine Portland campus to teach each other about how to make Maine a safer place. Students can register for this FREE event and teachers can sign-up to help here.

Parkland, Florida School Shooting: A former student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shot and killed at least 17 people and wounded 14 others on February 14, 2018 with a military-style assault weapon and large capacity magazines. Read MGSC's call to action in response to this tragedy.
Suicide Prevention: The Portland Press Herald published a Maine Voices column by MGSC Executive Director Nick Wilson about the need to collaborate to prevent firearm suicides and an unfortunate experience with American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Federally Mandated Concealed Carry: Legislation before Congress would override state permitting laws that regulate who can carry a loaded hidden gun. We've included a new Johns Hopkins report about this dangerous legislation.
Guns for Drugs: Maine is a source state for crime guns. Our new backgrounder explores how drug traffickers from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York sell heroin and cocaine in Maine and use the proceeds to buy illicit guns by exploiting Maine's weak gun laws.
Domestic Violence Mass Shooting in Madison, ME: We know that the most dangerous time for a woman in an abusive relationship is when she makes an attempt to leave, especially when the abuser has easy access to firearms. On July 5, 2017, Carroll Tuttle Jr. went on a shooting rampage that claimed the lives of his wife, son, and a neighbor over the untrue belief that his wife was having an affair.

Friday 1/19/18 – Bitcoin Bitter Now On Tap
Bitcoin Bitter is now on tap, yesterday at our launch party we even sold several growlers of it that were paid for using Bitcoin Cash crypto currency. Its a smooth, malty English style Bitter, come on down and give it a try.
Bitcoin Bitter release. We've created a new beer to coincide with the Bitcoin craziness and we will be the first brewery in the country (that we know of) to start accepting Crypto Currency (Bitcoin Cash) as payment for growler fills of this beer! We chose Bitcoin Cash as our first crypto currency to accept as Bitcoin itself costs so much to send and takes so long to confirm. It costs just pennies and is much quicker using Bitcoin Cash. We will be looking at accepting other cryptos for beer in the future.
We will also be having some fun for a limited time by varying the price of growler fills on our new Bitcoin Bitter with the current market price of Bitcoin. You could pay as little as $2.00 for a growler fill or as much as $12 depending on the current price of Bitcoin at the time of your fill!
Are you bitter because you DIDN'T buy Bitcoin or bitter because you DID?
Either way, the smooth taste of our Bitcoin Bitter is something you can bank on. We start with Montana grown and malted barley then add crystal/caramel specialty malts, along with some malted wheat to create this copper-colored beer with a great malty, toasted backbone. We then balance out that maltiness with Galena and East Kent Golding hops (the staple for traditional English Ales) which creates a smooth and delicate flavor with floral, lavender, spice, honey, earth, lemon and thyme overtones. Most hops stand out against the malt. However, this unusual hop actually blends in and complements the malt flavors to create a smooth, session-able ale that will become one of your favorites.
For a little fun and for a limited time prices of growler fills of the Bitcoin Bitter will vary based on the current price of Bitcoin.
Tumbleweed at Coachella
We were lucky enough to be one of the craft beers served at one of the largest music festivals in the country last year Coachella . We hope to be there again this year. Here's what LA Magazine had to say about the Tumbleweed IPA at the festival.
