As I'm seeing more and more people with really old systems looking to move to modern systems, I find we're having to go back to the basic conversations that we had 10 years ago. It becomes so important to bring up the concept of "The Cloud", as there are so many misconceptions as to what this is and how to define it. The key is to realize that the Cloud is not a tangible thing. It's a concept. It's a philosophy.
I find that people who ultimately have on-prem systems don't realize that they're actually adopting most, if not all, of the key characteristics of "Cloud". I like to reference a document that I find to be the best definition of Cloud. It was published by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). You can find the document here http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145.pdf. It really is a great, easy read that clears up the difference between various service models, such as Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service. It also explains the differences between various deployment models, such as Private Cloud, Community Cloud, Public Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud.
Here, I want to cover what NIST says are the "Essential Characteristics" of Cloud. The reason I want to focus here is that these characteristics are really what customers are after, regardless of whether you go full blown "cloud" or a complete on-prem (or something in between). Let's talk about these characteristics in terms of modern on-prem solutions from Avaya.
On-demand self-service - This characteristic is all about automated creation and deployment of user accounts. The goal is to have zero human intervention, allowing user provisioning 24 hours a day. For Avaya Aura, that is what System Manager can provide. At the most basic, out-of-the-box flavor of this, we're talking about LDAP synchronization and User Provisioning Rules. Once System Manager's search filter finds a new user in LDAP, it can create the user and provision communication services such as SIP profiles, Communication Manager Extensions, Voicemail, Presence, Conferencing, etc. With System Manager's available Web Services API's you can easily create custom applications and portals to facilitate advanced versions of this too.
Broad Network Access – This is actually really easy now. With MPLS-based WAN circuits, robust Internet Access, and the mass proliferation of "public" wi-fi hotspots, it is rare that people and their devices don't have access to an infrastructure that can connect them to the services that drive their communications. SIP and Session Border Controllers are key to making this seamless. VPN is not the way to go with remote and mobile devices. Users never should have to think about technology before they use the technology. And VPN makes me think about communicating, prior to communicating. So, again, think SIP and SBC's to maximize your broad network access.
Resource Pooling – Most customers are already adopting this concept in IT as part of their data center strategy. Bring everything together and you can gain an efficiency and economy of scale that you just wouldn't get otherwise. Avaya embraced the concept of resource pooling a long time ago. Their term for this is FCE (Flatten, Consolidate, and Extend). The goal is to not have a separate system for each building or location you have. Consolidate it into a single system, with a single point of administration and a single pool of licenses. The flexibility of Avaya Aura's architecture lets you centralize as much of the hardware as is appropriate. Some customers fully centralize everything into a single data center and simply hang phones (desktop, softphones, or mobile clients) throughout the network. If you need local resources for bandwidth efficiency, you have that option too.
Rapid Elasticity – Rapid elasticity is all about quickly scaling up AND down without having to do a lot of hardware planning. The key to this is to use the previous characteristic of resource pooling and then eliminate as much hardware as possible. This is accomplished my using SIP where ever possible. SIP trunks eliminates T1 cards and reduces DSP resources. Migrating to SIP endpoints eliminates the traditional "gateway" conversion resources. Then virtualize every server application you can. The vast majority of Avaya servers can (and should) be virtualized. It's a much more effective use of your data center resources and gives you a tremendous flexibility to spin up (and down) new resources and services.
Regardless of your view on "Hosted" or "On-Prem" services, you should always be striving to borrow the concepts and "Essential Characteristics" of Cloud in all of your communication services. They're wildly beneficial to the agility of your business. Competitive success of any company is about speed to market. These concepts of Cloud let you build a foundation to support that speed to market. Hopefully, you see that with Avaya Aura, you get the awesomeness of Cloud, and gives you the flexibility to the deployment and service models that best meets your needs.

From Colonial to Contemporary: 500 Years of Latin American Art
This course provides an overview of the history and development of different artistic traditions in Latin America, from the advent of the Europeans in 1492 to the present. The Americas have been a fertile ground for converging cultures, and this course explores the salient artistic practices that evolved from the blending of the Inca and Aztec Empires and the Mozarabic traditions of Moorish Spain and Portugal, as well as those from Northern Europe, Asia, and Africa. From the 16th and 17th centuries, gain exposure to Andean painting and sculpture, often referred to as the Cuzco school; the great gold objects and other decorative arts of the pre-Columbian era; and the New World baroque painting and architecture of Mexico and Central America. The course continues on to the 18th century, when new forms of expression emerged with increased travel between Europe and the Americas. Then, we arrive at the 20th century and the great muralists, such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco, as well as the indigenismo movement in Peru. In the later-20th and 21st centuries, the borders between countries have blurred, and an international movement personified by Guillermo Kuitca from Argentina and Gabriel Orozco from Mexico has emerged. The class briefly touches on issues affecting the trade in Latin American art, such as national patrimony laws and the Endangered Species Act.
You'll Walk Away with
- The ability to appraise Latin American art
- Knowledge of Latin American art styles and movements
Ideal for

Harry Potter producer David Heyman has revealed that he is "optimistic" that the film's three main stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, will return for the fifth film in the series.
At the DVD launch of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Heyman said, "The kids are on for the fourth. We now will start discussing the fifth, it's the same on each film.
"You're in the middle of the third you discuss the fourth, you're in the middle of the second, you discuss the third.
"I hope they stay with us and they'll stay with us as long as they want to. There may come a point some day where they decide not to and if they do, they'll go with all of our blessings.
"But I hope they stay and they're wonderful, and I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll have them again for five."

John Cleese shows off his wine expertise on TV
John Cleese, who plays Nearly Headless Nick in the Harry Potter movies, is bringing his wine wisdom to TV in America in the form of a new special.
The wine connoisseur will present John Cleese's 'Wine for the Confused' on The Food Network in America in October.
The show, which features Cleese inviting guests like The Mummy star Brendan Fraser to his home in Santa Barbara, California, to sample wine, includes hilarious anecdotes about the star's life.

Gary Oldman NOT Starring In Star Wars
As previously reported earlier this year, Gary Oldman was rumored to have signed up to provide the voice of a villain in next year's "Star Wars" prequel. However, Oldman's manager's website has posted this update:
Gary Oldman's voice will NOT be heard in the upcoming STAR WARS film. Gary was offered, and agreed to perform in the film, in fact he was excited and looking forward to the work. The snag that made it impossible however is that this film is being made as a non-SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) film. George Lucas and gang agreed to hire Gary Oldman if he in fact would become a union buster, and perform work illegally overseas. As a resident of America, and also a member of SAG, out of respect and solidarity with the other members, he could not and would not consider violating his union's rules.
So there you have it -- Gary Oldman is officially out of Star Wars.
Good Guys Finish Last
From SouthFlorida.com:
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is shocked to discover that young female fans lust after the scoundrels in her books.
Rowling finds it unsettling that teenage girls are more attracted to actor Tom Felton, who plays villain Draco Malfoy, than they are to Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as the eponymous boy wizard.
She says, "It is very depressing. I make this hero -- Harry obviously -- and there he is on the screen, the perfect Harry, because Dan is very much how I imagine Harry.
"But who does every girl under the age of 15 fall in love with? Tom! I don't understand it."

Terrorist Scare for Harry Potter Set
China Daily reports that security has been stepped up on the set of the new Harry Potter movie after the studio where it is being shot received a chilling terror threat.
Leavesden Studio near London answered the menacing phone call last Friday, which warned of a brutal attack on the film's young stars.
And insiders fear Al-Qaeda - the terrorist network responsible for the September 11 attacks - are behind the threat.
A studio source says, "The caller apparently said, 'It's payback time... this is for all you've done to our women and kids.'
"The film is being made by American company WARNER BROS so it sounds like it could have an Iraq or Al-Qaeda connection."
Police and dog handlers have been drafted in to patrol the perimeter fence and the number of security guards has been trebled.
A police spokesman says, "We are responding with extra vigilance."

Matthew Lewis Supports Local Blood Drive

In his fantasy life, teenage actor Matthew Lewis is the sort who might actually faint at the sight of blood. For he plays the hapless teenage wizard Neville Longbottom, the one who gets his spells mixed up, in the Harry Potter film series. But in real life Matthew, of Horsforth, Leeds, is made of stronger stuff and went along to The Headrow blood donor clinic to celebrate its first anniversary.
Matthew, 15, a pupil at St Mary's High School, Menston, said: "When I was little, my mum Lynda took me with her when she gave blood. So I know how important it is and I've always planned to do it as soon as I'm old enough."

Before she was Prof McGonagall
More than three decades before she donned a wizard's robe to play Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter films, Maggie Smith won a well-deserved Best Actress Oscar for portraying another inspirational British teacher. And although Jean Brodie remains a far more complex and controversial figure than the firm but gentle McGonagall, Smith brings her patented eccentricity to both women, making them unique and memorable.

Robbie Coltrane Talks About Life Off Screen
Sunday Herald had a sit-down interview with Coltrane, who discusses Harry Potter among other things:
No doubt the public attention engendered by playing Hagrid will influence his decision whether to continue with the Harry Potter franchise. He is contracted to make four, and is currently filming the fourth, The Goblet of Fire. He has been able to fit this interview in because production has been halted while the computer graphics wonks work their magic. Each film takes about nine months to make; it is, he says, more like a pregnancy than a production.
While on set, Coltrane makes use of a fabulous Forties Silver Streak trailer which he has restored. He sits in it between scenes, chatting with co-stars Robert Hardy and Michael Gambon. The conversation is highly technical. Hardy is an authority on medieval longbows, and hand crafts them himself. Gambon, meanwhile, is an enthusiastic restorer of antique rifles. Coltrane talks cars. I like to think of the three of them, droning on like three Walter Matthaus, while, in a modern trailer nearby, Daniel Radcliffe develops PlayStation thumb.
I ask whether he will sign on for the final three films. I dont know. I really dont know what the circumstances will be for the last three. I dont know if I should be saying this, although if anyone has got any brains theyll have worked it out, but if Jo Rowling hasnt finished books six and seven within the next two years, the kids weve got at the moment will be too old to play the parts. And they may not even want to. So it depends on the variables. In some ways I would rather get on with something else, but I dont want to say that because it sounds so f**king ungrateful.
He pauses, and cocks his head like an owl listening for a mouse in a cornfield. He has heard a motorbike zoom past outside and is enjoying the sound of the engine.
So, no, I dont know if Im going to do any more, he continues. They will, of course, to enchant me back, offer me frightening amounts of money.
And is that hard to resist? I ask.
Of course it is. Ive got two young kids. I dont know what the future holds.

Time Warner Benefits from Potter
As if there was every any doubt? The Harry Potter movies have pushed Time Warner's earnings to a whopping $961 million, as Newsday reports...
An outstanding box office showing for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third Potter film, has validated the firm's decision to acquire the rights to the popular series of books by author J.K. Rowling. This success follows "Return of the King," the third film in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which in Time Warner's most recent quarter helped earnings more than double to $961 million.

Letters to the Editor
New York fans would benefit from clean sweep
In his March 3 column, "Place your bets on New York's future," Steven Crist made the New York Racing Association the hypothetical 2-1 favorite to run New York's Thoroughbred racing in the future. Most of us who go to the races in New York choke at this thought.
We, the fans, need a change badly. Any new team that comes in will, at least initially, listen to the fans and give us some things we need, whereas our pleas now fall on uncaring ears. We need a new and innovative spirit that will brighten up an always-dreary experience at the downstate tracks. NYRA has been here too long, and you will find only a handful of fans who think differently. The laundry list of its customer-service flaws is far too long to go into here.
We need operators who will put themselves in a fan's shoes for a day, and certainly not take advantage of us by raising the already-high takeout.
Scott Mayheu - New York City
New bosses likely same as the old
It is interesting to watch the dance that the politicians are doing in New York regarding the awarding of the franchise at the end of the year.
Having watched "blue ribbon" committees in the past, I know this much is clear: Before the first witness is called, the final cut of the drama has already been edited and is ready for distribution. The result is determined, and then the committee will find a way to (rationally or irrationally) come to the predetermined result. And guess what? Whoever gets the franchise, there will be two winners: the franchisee and the political hacks.
There will also be two losers: the horsemen and the very people who make this game run, the horseplayers. How do I know? Because these two groups are always the losers. Yet we go on, wandering in the desert with no Moses to lead us out. Higher takeout, no slot machines, etc.
Can't New York's horsemen see that slots would be up and running if the New York Racing Association would just say the tracks belong to the state? But it won't, so the politicians have spent years driving NYRA out of business, and the horsemen are innocent saps whose leaders think they have a say in the matter.
The horseplayers are worse, especially those who submit to the disgrace of not only takeout, but the additional surcharge of offtrack betting outlets. The money generated by slots should go to lower the takeout, but it won't, and horseplayers will stay losers. None of us can win unless we band together to stop these outrages now, or there will be no game to play in the next generation.
Russell A. Weber - Amityville, N.Y.
State must lead in ending abuse
On Jan. 16 of this year, representatives of Equine Advocates, a horse rescue organization, were informed that a number of Thoroughbred horses on a farm in Coxackie, N.Y., were not being cared for and looked very bad. The horses were in a paddock visible from the road. (The farm also houses a large population of Thoroughbred mares and foals who appeared to be receiving adequate care.)
When Equine Advocates personnel arrived, they concluded the horses in question were malnourished and at great risk. With a severe freeze due that night, it was imperative that they be moved immediately. Equine Advocates agreed to take three of the six endangered horses, and another good soul volunteered to rescue three horses. A farm employee "signed out" the six horses.
Bill Barnes, a veterinarian in Saratoga, agreed to board the three rescued by Equine Advocates at his clinic, and was a great help caring for the horses, one of whom had such severe rain rot and infection his life was at risk. Two of the horses are now at my farm in Schuylerville and one is at the Safe Home sanctuary in Chatham, as he needed considerably more care and attention than the other two. (Pictures of these horses are visible at www.Equineadvocates.org.)
Why tell this story?
Whoever ultimately runs racing in New York must enforce a code of ethics that prohibits people from racing in New York, or elsewhere, if they abandon horses or otherwise abuse them. To be influenced in any way by the fact that these people might fill race cards is to perpetuate the problem and encourage its continuation.
The much-worn phrase "doing what's best for the horse" should be the guiding principle here.
Jeffrey Tucker - New York City - board member, Equine Advocates
Flexible bans carry little sting
Racing continues to coddle and accommodate its rule -breakers. Like trainer fines and suspensions, jockey suspensions have become a joke.
Garrett Gomez will start serving a five-day suspension on March 28 - with a parole day on the 31st so he can ride in Dubai (Santa Anita Notes, March 21). Shouldn't there be a significant penalty for riding infractions? When stewards hand out five, seven, or 10 days, shouldn't the offenders start serving the penalty right away, regardless of the upcoming stakes schedule? Otherwise, just fine them for infractions and forget days.
If I were to be sentenced 20 years for robbery, maybe I could ask the judge to start my sentence when I'm 85.
Arthur DeToro - Jaffrey, N.H.
Aqueduct in need of slots solution
A die-hard New Yorker, I have in the past two years discovered the wonderful world of horse racing. At least once every two weeks, sometimes more, I'm at Aqueduct. My blood rushes with mental stimulation when I pick up the Daily Racing Form at the newsstand.
In regard to the letters to the editor on March 18, I agreed wholeheartly with "New York program needs seasonal aid," and felt complete disdain for the the thoughts on the same subject contained in "Winter blight leaves fan cold."
My question is this: What can a concerned, caring New Yorker do to try help with the actual accomplishment of putting slot machines in Aqueduct? The track is known all over the world, and to see it run down, needing a paint job, and bathroom renovation, to say the least, is very disheartening to every true-to-heart racing fan.

CROWN & BRIDGE is a collective phrase for several methods of restoring teeth. When a tooth has been damaged but is healthy enough to save, we place a crown that covers it and binds it together for strength. Crowns can be fashioned from gold or alloys, porcelain, or a combination of materials. A bridge can span a single missing tooth, or many. Conventional bridges usually involve crowns at both ends with a false tooth, called a "pontic."
DENTURES—full or partial—are artificial teeth, usually removable, that fit over the gums where natural teeth are missing. We place conventional dentures after all tissues have healed. Immediate dentures go in immediately after remaining natural teeth are removed, allowing the patient to have teeth during the healing period. Because bones and gums shrink, especially during the first six months after tooth removal, immediate dentures may require relining to fit properly.
DENTAL IMPLANTS are a safe and successful alternative for appropriate patients, no matter if they've lost one tooth, or several, or are entirely toothless. We set one or more implant anchors into the jawbone, then give the bone time to grow into the implant itself. Once this bond is made, we cap the root with a natural-appearing replacement tooth, or use it as an anchor to support a crown or bridge if multiple teeth are missing.
Whatever your situation, having missing or damaged teeth can severely hamper daily eating, speaking, and your appearance. So don't hesitate to contact us today for a consultation and evaluation!

Combining harmonic generation and laser chirping to achieve high spectral density in Compton sources
Recently various laser-chirping schemes have been investigated with the goal of reducing or eliminating ponderomotive line broadening in Compton or Thomson scattering occurring at high laser intensities. Moreover, as a next level of detail in the spectrum calculations, we have calculated the line smoothing and broadening expected due to incident beam energy spread within a one-dimensional plane wave model for the incident laser pulse, both for compensated (chirped) and unchirped cases. The scattered compensated distributions are treatable analytically within three models for the envelope of the incident laser pulses: Gaussian, Lorentzian, or hyperbolic secant. We use the new results to demonstrate that the laser chirping in Compton sources at high laser intensities: (i) enables the use of higher order harmonics, thereby reducing the required electron beam energies; and (ii) increases the photon yield in a small frequency band beyond that possible with the fundamental without chirping. We found that this combination of chirping and higher harmonics can lead to substantial savings in the design, construction and operational costs of the new Compton sources. This is of particular importance to the widely popular laser-plasma accelerator based Compton sources, as the improvement in their beam quality enters the regime where chirping ismore »

Our opinion: Reflections on a momentous 2017
End-of-year issues of the Spotlight are always challenging, this one particularly so. Not only did it come on the heels of a short week due to the holidays, this was a momentous year — internationally, nationally and locally.
How do we decide, out of the year 2017's many occurrences, what to include or omit? We're certainly going to get some things right and, to some readers' thinking, some things wrong.
In several cases a grain of local involvement found its way into the year's big, national news stories. We had local firefighters with Scappoose Fire District and Columbia River Fire and Rescue dispatched to nearby and out-of-state conflagrations, including the Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia River Gorge and the still-burning Thomas Fire in California's Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
Eric Heassler of St. Helens provided the community with a local link to Hurricane Harvey and the devastation it wrought in the Houston area. Heassler was one of thousands of people from across the nation who responded to the call for relief aid, which provided a bit of a silver lining for humanity amid the darkness of destruction resulting from the hurricane.
This was also the year many pillars of entertainment, media and government exited their respective roles in shame and derision as the #metoo movement caught fire. Prior to the movement in Columbia County, sexual harassment claims against a former executive director, Steve Watson, at Columbia 911 Communications prompted his quick departure from the agency. The common theme? Men in positions of power, from movie producer Harvey Weinstein and NBC Today Show host Matt Lauer to Watson, have abused that power to advance sexual agendas in the workplace.
The year also marked a small victory for transparency in local government. A leaked release of a CRFR investigation — one CRFR board members and executive staff maneuvered to keep secret — placed in perspective troubling events in the lead up to the fire district negotiating retirement of its former division chief, Ron Youngberg. As a result of the Spotlight's reporting, Youngberg also was removed from the Office of State Fire Marshal's Incident Command Team.
We were on the forefront of reporting the sexual harassment and retaliation allegations at Columbia 911 Communications District, and only last month did we break the news about the use of a K9 unit in Columbia County Jail to subdue an inmate by way of dog attack. As a result of our reporting, the Sheriff's Office has suspended the use of K9 units in the jail in that capacity, and an investigation by the Columbia County District Attorney's Office has been opened.
Some stories carried over from 2016, or even from earlier, finally reached a resolution. Perhaps most notably was installation of the Rotary Children's Fountain in Scappoose's Heritage Park. The fountain was conceived in 2009 and there was an early expectation it would be concluded as soon as 2010. We're happy to say the unique Michael Curry-designed fountain, completed in October, was well worth the wait. A huge Scappoose community thanks is due to all involved.
In St. Helens, the installation of public art yielded a different reaction. Social media exploded over the aesthetic of the Salmon Tree Cycle sculptures, part two of the St. Helens Gateway Sculpture Project. We wonder if now, a few months after furor over the sculptures has died down, if there has been a reconsideration of the sculptures' merits and their place in the community. Such is the way of many developments; after a short burst of surprise or outrage, acceptance emerges. Then again, maybe not.
Regarding the local economy, watching the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center in Scappoose take its first baby steps was exciting. We expect bigger announcements regarding OMIC in 2018. Also in Scappoose, Cascades Tissue opened its new facility on West Lane Road, employing 60 people in family-wage jobs. On the flipside, however, we already know of one bad news story to materialize next year: the shutdown of Armstrong World Industries
ceiling tile plant in St. Helens, an action that will displace 130 local workers.
There have obviously been many, many more occurrences over the past year, and at the Spotlight, as always, we were and are happy to deliver consistent, quality coverage of the news that matters to the Columbia County community. We look forward to continuing, and expanding, our role as the leader in local news in 2018.
Have a safe and happy New

Northover Manor Wedding Photography
Mike & Kay get married at Northover Manor, Somerset
In April 2015, Mike & Kay got married at Northover Manor, a beautiful hotel in Ilchester, just north of Yeovil. Mike & Kay asked me to photograph their Somerset wedding following a family photo shoot I carried out for them in 2014 to celebrate the arrival of their baby boy, so it was a real honour to photograph them all again on what was an amazing day. They were great to shoot as they were a very relaxed couple, and were more than happy to join me outside for a last minute addition to their Somerset wedding photography to take advantage of the stunning Spring sunset just moments before they were set to do their first dance!

Many quantitative studies have shown data archiving has a good return on investment e.g. Piwowar, HA, Vision, TJ, & Whitlock, MC (2011). Data archiving is a good investment Nature, 473 (7347), 285-285
To quote the Panton Principles:"Science is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the published body of scientific knowledge."
Without full, free, Open access to the data (be it numbers, images or other) that underlies the science we publish - how are we meant to effectively and efficiently build upon what we know?
I think it's great that Paleobiology and now the Journal of Paleontology archive *all* their supplementary data with Dryad. Perhaps other paleo journals could think about following this precedent?
For a reminder, here's a list of just some great paleo-databases/projects out there: PaleoDB[1], MorphoBank[2], BioMesh[3], TreeBASE[4], BioTorrents[5], DigiMorph[6], MorphologyNet[7], MorphBank[8],Dryad[9], The Open Dinosaur Project[10], Zoobank[11], Cladestore[12], FigShare[13], ESRF Paleontological Microtomographic DB[14], Pangaea[15], Graeme Lloyd's dinosaur matrices[16] and many more...!

Who is going to pay for this generosity? That's right, rich people people like us.
Well, frankly if poor people can't afford healthcare because they are exploited by ruthless employers who make them work for minimal pay, then they should just give up work, pay a few hundred thousand dollars to get a decent education and then get a job as a lawyer or an investment banker instead.
See? Simple, but the so-called bleeding-hearts, liberal do-gooders would no doubt find fault with the idea."

When American politicians and pundits say that universal healthcare would be immovable, they are right. If people experienced what it is like for themselves, instead of basing their opinion on this "socialized medicine" crap, they very well might have a different opinion. According to a guardian newspaper, over 89% (1) of brits would chose the NHS over the American system, and as we have private healthcare over here, it really does put things in perspective.

With regime troops and jihadists battling for control of Syria, sidelined activists who led a pro-democracy uprising in 2011 say their revolution has died along with their dreams of freedom.
On the ground, where foreign fighters have flocked to join the Islamic State group and rival Al-Qaeda-linked militants, the reality could barely be grimmer for the pro-democracy movement.
The jihadists have expelled mainstream, "moderate" rebels from large areas, while many opposition fighters once revered as heroes are now branded opportunistic warlords.
Meanwhile President Bashar al-Assad still holds Damascus and is pressing on with his relentless campaign of aerial bombings and arrests.
Most of the peaceful protesters of the early days of the revolt have been killed, jailed, forced into exile or live under siege, said 28-year-old Sami Saleh from the central city of Hama, where the opposition briefly seized control for a month in 2011.
– 'Stop the killing' –
The feeling of failure has pushed many to abandon their demand that Assad be ousted at any cost.
Instead, they long for an end to a brutal conflict that has killed nearly 200,000 people.
Nael Mustafa, who risks his life to document violations by the Islamic State (IS) group, is among the disillusioned.
IS has overrun the city and proclaimed it their "capital", having ousted the rebels who captured it in spring 2013.
Those who had tried to set up a civilian administration after the army's expulsion from Raqa, the first provincial capital to fall from regime control, have disappeared or are in exile.
Mustafa, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, said he never supported the arming of the revolt, which came after the government used live rounds and tank fire against unarmed demonstrators.
– 'Mistake after mistake' –
Among others who have worked closely with rebel factions and face similar disenchantment is Ibrahim al-Idelbi, an outspoken young writer.
For the past month he has been living in forced exile in Turkey.
He survived two stints of government detention and torture, but it was not the Syrian regime that pushed him out.
It was Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front, whose jihadists this month took over most rebel positions in his native northwestern province of Idlib.
He blames the regime, rebel naivety and the international backers of the revolt for the failure.
– 'New life for Syria' –
He said those well organised rebel forces still active are now fighting a turf war, with foreign backers in Qatar and Saudi Arabia exploiting Syria as a proxy battlefield.
But Idelbi, like Syrian Kurdish activist Ahmad Khalil, refuses to give up hope.
Jailed for taking part in protests, Khalil fled to Turkey before being resettled as a refugee with his wife in Norway.
Speaking to AFP from hospital just as his wife prepared to give birth, he was full of emotion.

Lots more culture last week! It was Photo London so myself and my friend (& wonderful food photographer) Louise Hagger went to check it out. I Instagrammed and Tweeted a few of my favourites but I've written a little more below about the work that really caught my eye. Friday was the Business Woman's Network's May event at Playgolf Colchester, where the IT Fairy Clare Lauwerys gave a presentation with excellent tips on how to be found and make money online. I had another weekend off (yay!) so I did a bit of baking, pottering around the house and messing about in my sketchbook. I've got into a habit recently of ripping/cutting up exhibition flyers and making something new with them. Not sure why but it's quite relaxing and I've got a record of where I've been in my sketchbook rather than a pile of flyers in a box.
My picks from Photo London:
Photo London is REALLY BIG so it's really easy to get to image saturation point. There's a real mix of work on show but my favourites were:
Francesco Pergolesi's Heroes: 2013-2016 at Edel Man Gallery. These prints were backlit with LEDs so they glowed - I loved them at this size as they really drew you in to look closely.
William Eggleston at Rose Gallery. I love Eggleston's work so it was great to see some lovely big prints on display - loved the colours in this one: Alex Webb: Selections at Leica
Jacques Henri Lartigue at Gallery Fifty One - loved the colours and feel of these images. Anja Niemi's Short Stories at Little Black. I do love a good polaroid, but I was really intrigued by these images too. I loved how they were presented, the use of colour, and would like to know more about the story behind them.
Michael Wolf (left) and Nadav Kander (right) at Flowers. Green and pink were the colours of the day for Louise and I, but I was really intrigued by these images too. Kander's image was really calming too, as well as mysterious.
Antony Cairns at Roman Road. These I was more interested in because of the process. They were created using Kindles, which I was really interested in. I love seeing new ways of doing things and how people experiment.
My absolute favourite though was "For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness" by Julian Germain at In Camera gallery. The steaming dinner plate pulled me in from across the room - I loved the colours, the composition, and it reminded me of my Grandad's house.
What have you been up to? Did you go to Photo London? What did you think?
The weekly montage is a collection of some of my shots (usually from the previous week!), a mix of work and leisure from an assortment of cameras and Instagram. If you like my snaps come join me over on Instagram to see more!

Abstract: YI2.00005 : External Excitation of a Drift-Alfv\'{e}n Wave Response in the Alcator C-Mod Edge Plasma and its Relationship to the Quasi-Coherent Mode*
Preview Abstract Abstract
Theodore Golfinopoulos
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Experiments indicate that short-wavelength, $k_{\perp} \rho_s \sim 0.1$, drift-Alfv\'{e}nic turbulence plays an important role in C-Mod edge plasma transport. A Quasi-Coherent Mode (QCM, $50 < f < 150$ kHz, $k_{\perp} \sim 1.5$ cm$^{-1}$) regulates particle and impurity transport in C-Mod's EDA H-modes. A Weakly Coherent Mode (WCM, $150 < f < 500$ kHz, $k_{\perp}\sim1.5$ cm$^{-1}$) plays a similar role in I-mode discharges, suppressing the formation of a density pedestal while maintaining a temperature pedestal. ELMs are not present in either confinement regime. With the idea of exciting, probing, and perhaps exploiting this transport behavior, we have developed a novel antenna system to excite drift-Alfv\'{e}n-like modes at the outer midplane. A winding with a ``shoelace'' geometry is placed $\sim3-5$ mm from the LCFS. The principal design parameters, $k_{\perp}=1.5\pm0.1$ cm$^{-1}$ and $45 < f < 300$ kHz, match the QCM and WCM properties, so that the antenna induces parallel currents in the boundary plasma that mimic those observed for the intrinsic modes. Phase-locking to intrinsic modes is also accomplished via a custom circuit. The antenna produces perturbations in density and field comparable to amplitudes of the intrinsic QCM. The plasma response exhibits a resonance near the natural QCM frequency, which generally satisfies the drift wave dispersion relation. While a driven $\tilde{B}_{\theta}$ fluctuation is visible throughout the discharge, the driven $\tilde{n}_e$ is only observed during H-mode, though it precedes the onset of the intrinsic QCM. Like the QCM, the driven mode propagates in the electron diamagnetic drift direction and is approximately field-aligned. Recent mirror probe measurements show the intrinsic QCM structure is predominantly drift-Alfv\'{e}nic, and we might expect the same of the driven mode. However, the induced perturbation is not global, but is localized to field lines which map to the antenna, suggesting a damped response, and direct measurements of the damping rate indicate $\gamma/\omega_0\sim5$\%. If the antenna response is, indeed, a linearly-stable drift wave, this may suggest that additional interchange physics and curvature drive are involved to make the QCM unstable.
