Tel Aviv Diary: Bibi Takes Another Trick From Trump's Playbook
I have written about this topic before: the similarities between US President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain striking.
Since the resemblance between this pair has now reached a new level, the matter warrants an update.
On Wednesday night, Israeli media reported the police had decided to recommend Netanyahu be indicted, not only for breach of trust but for bribery.
Last night, Israeli TV aired an interview done some time ago with Roni Alsheikh, the Police Commissioner hand-picked by Netanyahu, in which Alsheikh asserted that the public would be surprised by some of what would come out in its upcoming recommendations.
In addition, Alsheikh stated that somebody (and he was clear who) had hired private investigators to probe those scrutinizing Netanyahu.
The prime minister, taking a page from Trump's playbook, went public with a Facebook post (Netanyahu is a more active user of Facebook than Twitter) attacking the Police Commissioner, stating:
The hints alleged by the Police Commissioner are so grave that a swift and objective investigation is immediately required, regarding the claim that the Prime Minister 'has sent investigators' — and once it becomes clear there is no such connection— the necessary conclusions relating to the conduct of the investigation and the formulation of recommendations against the Prime Minister must be drawn.
Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now
In other words, Netanyahu has told his supporters they should ignore the recommendations of the police, since the Commissioner is another one of those "leftists" who wants to bring down the prime minister at all costs.
The heads of the two main opposition parties made statements that, if you didn't know the context, could have come from any leader of the American Democratic Party. Labor Party head, Avi Gabbay said:
Netanyahu is humiliating us, the citizens of Israel. Instead of requesting that they wrap up the investigation as soon as possible, Netanyahu has chosen to attack the Police Commissioner, and by doing so, he is trying to dismantle peoples' trust in the legal system.
While the head of the Yesh Atid party, Yair Lapid referred to Netanyahu's statement as "a desperate attempt of a suspect to use his elevated status to threaten the rule of law and to vilify the police who protect all of us."
Supporters of Netanyahu were fast to defend him. The head of the coalition, David "Dudu" Amsalem, said: "There is an attempt by the police to engage in a revolt. They see the prime minister as a personal enemy and are dedicated to overthrowing him."
Israeli journalist Ben Caspit, who has just published a critically acclaimed biography of Netanyahu, stated: "If I had to choose between believing the Police Commissioner, or the Prime Minister, I would have no dilemma which to choose."
Netanyahu's situation is similar to that of Trump, in that the end of the case against him is far from over. Once the police recommendations are made, the baton is passed to the Attorney General (who was appointed by Netanyahu and served as his cabinet secretary) to decide whether or not to indict.
It should be noted that there is no time limit for reaching that decision, which is widely expected to take up to a year — even though the Attorney General has been closely involved in the investigation all along and certainly could, if he was inclined, make a decision in a matter of days or weeks.
There are two other recent developments that highlight Netanyahu/Trump similarities.
First, to shore up support among his base, Netanyahu began implementing his policy of trying to expel the African migrants who have been living here for 5-10 years. Of course, akin to Trump, Netanyahu continuously speaks out about these migrants, using derogatory terminology such as calling them "infiltrators."
In one final irony, it should be noted that less than two years ago, Netanyahu whimsically proposed that Israel bring back the tradition of conducting an annual military parade, a practice which Israel gave up soon after the Six Day War, after which, showing off Israel's military strength seemed a waste of time and energy.
Netanyahu received little, or no support for his idea, which he had hoped to implement for this year's 70th anniversary of Israel's independence. As a result, he was forced to drop it.
So far, Trump's parade remains in the cards.

Jackson: Why did you name me Jackson?
Me: Because I wanted to name you after my grandfather, and Earl isn't quite the name it used to be.
Jackson: You should have named me Razer.
Me: I can guarantee you that Razer Case was never even on the list of options.
Earl P. Jackson died five years ago today. It is still hotly contested among my cousins who was his favorite. I still say it was me. The other four will each tell you it was them. They are, of course, just wrong.
I was selfish where he was concerned. I prayed he would live long enough to see my son. He did. I think he would like his namesake. Jackson is what a Southern boy should be: a kind, hard-working, super competitive, mama's boy.
A lot of life has happened since he left us. I think he watches us on the Jackson family screen in the sky and smiles. At least most of the time. He probably cusses us a fair amount too. After all, he's Earl P. and we're his people. If we weren't laughing at each other, laughing with each other and yelling a lot, we'd be some other family.

2-Day Workshops
Here's what people are saying about Richard's class:
"Since I had taken the workshop before, Richard went out of his way to prepare special activities for me to do. I really appreciated that, as I was able to advance to the next level." - Barbara Collins, Mesa AZ
"Richard Drayton, the instructor, is a very organized & methodical in his approach to teaching the art of pencil drawing, an approach I find very easy to understand. The class provides anyone the basics of understanding the components necessary to progress using this impressive media for producing drawings indistinguishable from a painting. I have taken 4-5 of his courses and take away pearls from each & every class. Highly recommended!" - John Blangiardo, Sedona AZ
"I have found some art instructors to be wanting as teachers, through no fault of their own, even though they are quite talented. It is rare, in my limited experience, that you find a creative teacher who is simultaneously detail oriented, organized, and provides his or her class with a systematic approach in delivering their knowledge & talent to their students. Richard Drayton is one such instructor. Additionally, he also possesses a good sense of humor which adds levity to presentations." - John Blangiardo, Sedona AZ
"Richard was good-natured, encouraging, and organized. He clearly knows his content (which, again, is why I came). He adapted his instruction to meet the needs of each of the learners in the course. He spent individual time with each learner. The small class size contributed to his ability to be able to do this. As a learner I deeply appreciated that." - Cris Guenter, Chico CA
"Richard Drayton's Colored Pencil Workshop provides foundation skills for using Prismacolor Pencils. Being able to see the techniques, ask questions, and then have time to do them yourself was key. The workshop was everything I had hoped it would be and then some!" – Cris Guenter, Chico CA
"I like the way Richard adapts the class according to our levels, and helps it to be harmonious." - Donna Zollner, Scottsdale AZ
"Tremendous talent, great teaching skills, and all around great guy." - Melanie Lee, Sedona AZ
"Richard was knowledgeable and personable! I could not have asked for more!!" - B. F. Reed
"I enjoyed this workshop very much. Richard is an excellent instructor - clear and concise in his instructions and obviously cares about the student's outcome." – Alexis Levin, Sedona AZ
"Richard rocks!!! Truly authentic, genuine, and inspiring artist. Can already see myself taking MORE classes with him." - Jill Redmond, Ph.D., Sedona AZ

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes and melted butter in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
Top the toasts with the ricotta, berries and almonds and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.
You can make the toasts in advance and refrigerate them in an airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat in a toaster until warmed through.

What to CookFrench
A Traditional Chicken Dish from Lyon That Comes Together in Under an Hour
I've been enchanted by everything Lyonnaise since my first trip to Lyon in 1992. Lyon was anointed by the famed gourmand Curnonsky as the "Culinary Capital of France" in the 1920s. There are conflicting opinions as to how that accolade was decided upon—I am one who believes it was because the food in the area is outstanding, across the board.
Lyon was famous in the past for its silk industry, along with other manufacturing. It is usually characterized as a working class city, and perhaps not surprisingly, the traditional cuisine is hearty and filling. These days Lyon is known for technology and medical research, and likewise, its young chefs (and some of the older ones, too) are putting a modern spin on their cuisine.
Traveling throughout France has taught me that the food folks cook and eat every day is not the fancy restaurant food many Americans presume is French. Chicken in Red Wine Vinegar Sauce is a great example of simple everyday cooking—a delicious dish made with just a few ingredients that can be prepared from start to serving in less than an hour. Known as Poulet au Vinaigre in French, this traditional Lyonnaise bouchon dish has been a local favorite for centuries. Not featured in gourmet restaurants, it is a staple in bouchons throughout the city. (Bouchons are rustic restaurants where the traditional food of Lyon is featured.) Some cooks add tomato paste to their sauce, but I prefer it with just the crème fraîche added to the syrupy vinegar.
I include this divine Lyonnaise dish in a class I have taught many times featuring four (and sometimes five!) chicken dishes from different parts of France. The techniques I emphasize to my students with this dish are how to cut up a chicken (into 10 pieces), not crowding the pan, careful degreasing, and especially practicing patience when reducing the vinegar to syrup. (You absolutely, positively MUST pour off most of the fat after browning/mostly cooking the chicken. Then, you must reduce the vinegar to a very thick syrup. Otherwise, when you add the crème fraîche, the sauce will turn out beige and watery.)
Many of my students are initially put off by the title of the recipe, but when the class is over, they almost unanimously declare this dish to be their favorite! I hope this dish helps my students (and everyone else who tries it) realize that French food is basically good simple food.
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds) cut into 10 pieces -- you could use all breasts or all leg portions if you prefer. I use free-range chicken.
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup top quality red wine vinegar (I use Heinz)
- 1 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream, preferably not ultrapasteurized
- Finely chopped fresh (flat leaf) parsley, for garnish

"Start with what's in our schools, not with the desperate urgency of the tech industry," suggested Karen Spencer to the representatives of six Loop schools who attended a Breakfast Session at WHS last week. "Let's use who our young people are as the jumping off point for what we do."
In a session targeting 'what really matters' and challenging some of the big ideas of change discourse, Wellington High School DP Karen Spencer gave a thought provoking presentation that put students and the achievement of equity at the centre of change processes, and the key competencies at the forefront of what our students really need. Karen's presentation was supported by significant change stories from Wellington Girls College, Hutt Valley High School and Aotea College.

Do you want to change your life and make a lot of money for the work you do?
I'm talking about creating a massive shift that will help you achieve big goals and dreams, and allow you to live the life you truly want.
I'm going to show you how.
Brian Tracy tells a story in his book "Focal Point" about a plant that was having a problem. They couldn't figure out what was wrong and brought in one of the top consultants to find the problem.
He walked around for two days studying everything and making calculations.
Finally, he climbed up to a point in the plant and put an X with a big black marker on one of the gauges. He said that was where the problem was and they needed to repair and replace the apparatus connected to this meter to solve the problem.
After he left they got a bill for $10,000 for services rendered.
The owner of the plant thought this was a high fee for simply placing an X. He called the consultant and asked for itemized bill to be sent.
A few days later, he received a new invoice.
It said, $1 for placing the X. $9,999 for knowing where to place the X.
Now there are a couple of major points to this story.
One is knowing where to place the X in different areas of your life to accomplish what you want.
But when I first heard this story, I was a young buck, in my early 20's, sitting in the audience listening to this story LIVE, here's what I got out of it…
"How can I become the person who will get paid for knowing where to place the X?"
Hard work alone ain't gonna cut it. We all know people who work really hard, but make very little money.
To make a lot of money and charge the marketplace top dollar for the service(s) you render, you need to bring massive value to the market.
So the question becomes…
What skill or skills can I acquire that will make me more valuable to the marketplace?
This one question has been guiding me for years.
And the good news is, anyone can master highly valuable skills.
How To Master Valuable Skills Others Will Pay You For
Step 1. Identify Highly Valuable Skills
First step is to identify what skill or skills do you need to acquire to become more valuable. Skills that others would pay a lot of money for.
For example, in the area of internet marketing…
High-end marketing consultants charge a lot of money for helping create sales campaigns.
Copywriters who create ads, sales letters, and video sales letters that sell products charge big fees for their service.
If you know who how to generate a lot of traffic for a website, you can get paid handsomely.
Product creators know how to make money by providing solutions to problems people have in the marketplace.
These are just some of the examples in my area of expertise, but the list can go on.
Pick any industry, and you can find a number of places where others will gladly pay you a small fortune for knowing where and how to place the X.
Step 2. Seek Out Mentors
I can't emphasize enough the importance of this.
Who are the people that have the skills you want and are getting the results you're after?
Chances are, there are plenty of people who have already done something similar to what you want to do.
Identify who they are and study them.
Ideally it would be great to seek one of them out and work 1-on-1. But it's not always possible, and in many cases it can be very expensive. But you know what? There are courses, training programs, podcasts and books by them.
Investing in learning a valuable skill can be the best investment you can make in your life, with the highest ROI (return on investment.)
When I started selling financial services, I was almost 19 years old. I knew absolutely NOTHING about this industry, how the products worked and how to present them. That's a little bit of a challenge, don't you think?
On top of that, would you trust a 19 year old kid with your finances?
Plus, I knew nothing about sales or marketing, and as the saying goes, I couldn't even 'close' a door.
So how do you overcome these challenges?
You become a pro.
I decided that I will make myself so knowledgeable and so good, that clients will have no other option but to do business with me.
So what did I do?
I went to the bookstore and got myself some personal finance books and books on mutual funds. I found some great training literature on how insurance works, and dove right into it.
By the time I was in my early 20's, I had people twice and even three times my age giving me money to invest for them.
That was no accident.
When I got into internet marketing, I studied everything I could get my hands on about marketing, advertising, traffic generation, and so on.
The result is that I've been able to make a pretty good living working from home, doing a number of things on the internet both for myself and as a "hired gun" for others.
But I first had to find some mentors who I could study and emulate.
Vitaly Grinblat's Golden Rule Of Success…
"Find successful people who have what you want and copy them."
Step 3. Wax On – Wax Off
The first two steps are pretty easy to do.
Identifying the skills and finding where to learn them is not rocket science, and requires little effort. Now it's time to do the work.
Or as Mr. Myiagi in 'Karate Kid' says – "Wax on, wax off".
If you want to master something, you need to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
One of my mentors, world's top sales trainer Tom Hopkins has a 5 step learning process for mastering anything.
1. Impact
Consciously hearing, writing, reading and saying it.
When I pick up a good book on marketing for example, I also like to get it on audio, so that I can both read it and hear it.
I also read with a highlighter, and later go back and type out the important points of the book, so that I can go back and review my biggest takeaways.
2. Repetition
You must hear, write, read and say what you want to master a minimum of 6 times to get a 60% retention.
This works great with sales and advertising techniques.
2 quick examples.
When I was selling financial services, and started learning how to actually sell, I would write down the questions I wanted to ask my prospects on 3×5 cards, and would make myself go over them again and again.
I also wrote out the entire presentation and kept going over it, so that I could deliver it flawlessly.
When I made the decision to get really good at writing sales copy, I discovered that the very top and the highest paid copywriters recommend studying classic ads and sales letters, and write them out by hand. Something I've done many, many times. And still do to this day quite frequently.
3. Utilization
Consciously making yourself use the information.
At first, it will be a conscious effort to actually put what you've learned to use. Everything you do will happen in 3 stages.
– Crawl
– Walk
– Run
In that order. You need to crawl before you can walk, And you need to walk before you can run. Most people want to run a marathon without learning how to crawl.
4. Internalization
This will happen automatically. With enough repetition, it will become a natural part of you.
5. Reinforcement
Going back to basics once every year. Go back through your books or learning materials to keep the axe sharp and stay on top of your game.
There's a reason why the military requires an annual training for the reserves.
Finally, the only question that you may have is where to find the time to do this, because we're all busy, right?
What I found is that one hour a day is all you really need.
Just imagine if you dedicate one hour a day for the next year to mastering a highly valuable skill. Where will you be 12 months from now?
In just one year, you'll have 365 hours of skill development under your belt. And will probably be in the top 5% of your field.
Do it for the next 2 to 3 years, which something almost nobody is willing to do… and you will be one the very best in the world.
And that is how to make a lot of money.
If you found this post on How To Master Any Skill And Make A Lot Of Money valuable… please feel free to like, share, retweet and comment.

Congratulations Seamus O'Hare & Sean McEntee #PresidentsAward
10th February 2018
Congratulations Seamus and Sean on your award at Croke Park!
Buaiteoirí Gradaim an Uachtaráin 2018
Seamus O' Hare, Ulster
Dependability and reliability are the hallmarks of what has been an outstanding lifetime commitment to the GAA by Seamus O'Hare. Working first with the former St Colmcille's GAA Club in East Belfast in the 1950s and subsequently with St John's, Seamus has been always ready and willing to answer the call where needed.
Whether that was serving as a widely respected referee, stewarding at Croke Park, serving on committees or acting as Club Secretary for several years, his passion for the GAA was in making a contribution that improved his club and the wider association and the positive legacy of this work is in the depth of the respect with which he is held by all who know him.
Sean McEntee, Handball
Sean McEntee has had several careers in Irish handball – as player, coach and administrator. He first became involved as a player in the two courts at Queens University, Belfast in the early 1970s. He was a founder member of Belfast Central Handball Club and Belfast Handball Association which eventually grew to become Antrim Handball Committee. Sean joined with the late Sean Boyle to put together a vibrant and successful St Paul's club which amassed innumerable national titles.
He conceived of the idea of The Golden Gloves tournament which he ran with great success for 15 years and which attracted players at every level from all over Ireland for a wonderful playing and social weekend and as well as his playing success he has been an excellent coach.

This pencil graffiti has lasted surprisingly well considering it is supposedly 70 years old……
Being a regular visitor to both derelict and active industrial sites, I've walked across all kinds of surfaces, but never a rubberised one. The site roads on the southern section were coated with a rubber like asphalt designed to stop sparks in the event of something metallic being dropped. Some of this covering is still present and can been close up on the railway platform
I'm presuming this meant that the route avoided any production or storage areas where you would need protective clothing.

Intra-typmpanic steroid injection is performed by inserting a needle through the eardrum and injecting about of highly concentrated steroids directly into the middle ear space. The patient is than instructed to keep the affected ear up for 30 minutes without swallowing, yawning, or popping the ear. After injection, the patient is allowed to immediately resume normal activities. This steroid injection has also been used to treat Meniere's Disease flare-ups.

The procedure in this section describes how to upgrade a tc Runtime installation (such as 2.6.0) to a later version (such as 2.6.1). The instructions assume your existing tc Runtime environment is the result of following the Quick Start instructions
This section does not describe in detail how to upgrade your existing Hyperic components because those tasks follow the standard Hyperic upgrade procedures.
You can follow the instructions in the section to upgrade a tc Runtime 2.6.X release to a later 2.6.X release. If you want to upgrade from an earlier release, for example from 2.1.X to 2.6.X, follow the instructions at Upgrading a 2.1.x tc Server Installation to 2.6.
Upgrading a 2.6.X tc Server installation to a later version consists of the following subtasks:
Optionally upgrade your existing Hyperic Server and Agent to a later version than you have currently installed. See the Release Notes for the fully-qualified version of the Hyperic Server and Agent that a particular version of tc Server supports. The release notes also indicate the version of Hyperic that contains a particular version of the tc Server Hyperic plug-in.
To perform this subtask, you download the Hyperic EE
distribution and use its
setup.sh -upgrade (Unix) or
setup.bat -upgrade (Windows) command script to perform
the upgrade. To upgrade an existing Hyperic Agent, unzip the latest
version alongside the existing one.
For details, see "Upgrade Hyperic Components" in vFabric Hyperic Installation Guide.
Install the new 2.6.X tc Runtime in a new directory.
To perform this subtask, unzip the appropriate tc Server
distribution into a newly created installation directory. Then, if
required, use the
upgrade command to upgrade each tc Runtime
For details, see the next section.
Depending on how you have configured your tc Server installation, you might perform different subtasks on different computers. For example, on the computer on which you have installed the Hyperic Agent and runtime component (called a managed node), you perform only the Agent and Runtime upgrade. On the computer on which you installed the Hyperic Server (and nothing else), you perform only the Hyperic Server upgrade. If you installed all components on the same computer, then simply execute all subtasks on the same computer.
Most of the examples in this section use Unix syntax; if you are
upgrading on Windows, change the forward slashes to back-slashes and
replace the
*.sh suffix with
*.bat when
running a command script. Other changes between the two platforms are
called out.
The examples in this procedure assume you are upgrading a 2.6.0 tc Runtime to version 2.6.1 (unless otherwise noted.) The procedure describes only how to upgrade the tc Runtime and associated instances. To upgrade Hyperic components follow the instructions in "Upgrade Hyperic Components" in vFabric Hyperic Installation Guide.
To upgrade your 2.6.X tc Runtime to a later 2.6.X version, follow these steps:
Unix only: Read Important Note When Installing on Unix Platforms to ensure your tar command works with tc Server bundles.
Back up your existing tc Runtime installation, including all your tc Runtime instances.
Start a terminal (Unix) or Command Prompt (Windows).
If they are running, stop your tc Runtime instances. For
example, if you installed tc Runtime in
and you have a tc Runtime instance called
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.0.RELEASE prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh myserver stop
If your tc Runtime instance is located in a directory other
than the main tc Server installation directory, use the
script to stop the instance; in this case, you do not specify the
name of the instance as a parameter to the script. For
prompt$ cd /var/opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard//myserver/bin prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh stop
Windows only. If you
installed the tc Runtime instances as Windows services, uninstall
them. For example, if you installed the runtime in
and you created a tc Runtime instance called
prompt> cd \opt\vmware\vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.0.RELEASE prompt> tcruntime-ctl.bat myserver uninstall
If your tc Runtime instance is located in a directory other
than the main tc Server installation directory, use the
script to stop the instance; in this case, you do not specify the
name of the instance as a parameter to the script. For
prompt> cd \var\opt\vmware\vfabric-tc-server-standard\myserver\bin prompt> tcruntime-ctl.bat uninstall
See Windows: Starting and Stopping tc Runtime Instances as Windows Services.
Download the appropriate tc Server distribution file from the VMware Download Center.
Typically, you download the Standard Edition of tc Server in either the compressed TAR or ZIP format; for example:
Unzip or untar the new 2.6.X package into a new directory,
parallel to your existing tc Server installation. For example, if
your existing tc Server is installed in
and you downloaded the new package into the
/home/Downloads directory:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware prompt$ unzip /home/Downloads/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE.zip
The preceding command creates a new directory alongside the existing tc Server installation directory.
Upgrading tc Runtime instances. This step describes how to upgrade your existing tc Runtime instances to the new version. From your terminal (Unix) or Command Prompt (Windows), change to the new tc Server installation directory. For example:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE
For each existing tc Runtime instance you want to upgrade, run the following command:
prompt$ ./tcruntime-instance.sh upgrade --instance-directory instanceDir instance
to the full or relative pathname of the directory in which the
instance lives.
refers to
the name of the subdirectory that contains the tc Runtime
instance you want to upgrade, such as
For example, to upgrade an instance named
myserver from tc Server 2.6.0 to tc Server 2.6.1, issue
these commands:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE prompt$ ./tcruntime-instance.sh upgrade --instance-directory ../tc-server-standard-2.6.0.RELEASE myserver
Because you do not specify a specific tc Runtime version, the
tcruntime-instance.sh|bat script pins the instance to
the latest version of tc Runtime it can find when it starts.
Generally, this is the tc Runtime version bundled with the new tc
Server distribution you are installing. The
command cannot change the major tc Runtime version (tc Runtime 6 or
tc Runtime 7), but it will upgrade the instance to the latest minor
version available in the tc Server installation directory.
Start the tc Runtime instances as described in Starting and Stopping tc Runtime Instances. The startup messages should indicate that the instance is now using the latest tc Runtime version (such as 6.0.32.A) as its core. For example:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh myserver start INFO Instance name: myserver INFO Script directory: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE INFO tc Runtime location:/opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE INFO Instance base: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE INFO Binary dir: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/tomcat-6.0.32.A.RELEASE INFO Runtime version: 6.0.32.A.RELEASE INFO Script version: 2.6.1.RELEASE Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/myserver Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/tomcat-6.0.32.A.RELEASE Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/myserver/temp Using JRE_HOME: /var/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_24 Using CLASSPATH: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/myserver/bin/tomcat-juli.jar: /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1.RELEASE/tomcat-6.0.32.A.RELEASE/bin/bootstrap.jar
When you complete this procedure, you will have successfully upgraded your existing 2.6.X tc Runtime to a later version of 2.6.

Quebec Immigration Overview
Quebec administers its own immigration programs with selection criteria that are distinct and more predictable from those of federal and other provincial immigration programs.
Foreign nationals wishing to settle permanently in Quebec must undergo a two-step immigration process.
- They must be selected by the Ministère de l'immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion (MIDI), Quebec's immigration authority. Selected applicants will receive a Quebec Certificate of Selection (CSQ).
- An approved CSQ holder must file a permanent residence application with Immigration, Refugees and citizenship Canada (IRCC). The federal government's role in evaluating a Quebec application for permanent residence is mainly limited to issues of health and criminality.
Currently, candidates who want to settle in Quebec can apply in one of the following categories:

A reflection delivered by David Stewart
at Northwest UUC on October 2, 2016
In America, some of us are blessed with many surpluses. Surpluses of food. Surpluses of luxury. Surpluses of time. Unfortunately, some of us have also been building up surpluses of negativity. America seems to have built up our citizens' stocks of rage. Americans are guilty of making enemies out of our fellow citizens for a variety of reasons. We haven't limited it to citizens, though, as some have vilified resident non-citizens and other people around the world. We are laboriously building, stone by stone, walls in our hearts and some are proposing to do so physically. We seem to be acting out as 4-year-olds would: blaming others for the problems in our lives, raging at others who we blame for damaging society.
I am not only speaking of the folks who are the loudest in our society. For example, I tend to become very angry about our political climate. I rage against the bias in our policing, rage about the treatment of our veterans, rage about the treatment of our homeless, rage about the treatment of immigrants, and I even rage about the treatment of those our society has condemned to be punished in our prisons and execution chambers. And I tend to blame those who I feel are victim-blaming for personal benefit: politicians and media personalities that blame out-groups to build up their credibility.
But is this not what dividers seek? Division, rage, blaming behaviors, drawing both the aggressors and the defenders into a culture war at best and a civil war at worst? They want to divide the body of our society. They want to reduce the complexity of America into simple, bite-sized chunks. And they stoke their followers into wanting revenge against those they perceive to be against their group.
So examine with me for a moment one commonly used mental process that I consider to be causing societal problems. Judging individual people by stereotype is a mental process that allows humans to draw quick, but often inaccurate conclusions about people. The typical targets of this kind of thinking are those who often have less power than others: women, people of color, and our LGBTQ brothers and sisters.
Possibly, the offending broad brush thinkers have not experienced enough of the world with an open heart to challenge the cruel things they were taught. Possibly, they are afraid of what would happen to them in a society that did not automatically place them at the head of the dinner table or the supervisor position at their workplace. Or, possibly they are ignorant because they cannot afford or did not have the opportunity to be educated.
If they personally knew a lot of people in the group that they thought they hated, I have to believe it would be difficult for them to continue their generalizing ways.
Another disturbing behavior, revenge, is the exact opposite of forgiveness. Social psychologist Ian McKee found that vengeful tendencies are associated with attitudes of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance. "People who are more vengeful tend to be those who are motivated by power, by authority and by the desire for status," he says. "They don't want to lose face […] and tend to be less forgiving, less benevolent and less focused on universal-connectedness-type values."
And why, you may ask, am I focusing on broad-brush thinking, rage and revenge in a discussion about forgiveness? It is, of course, because we are living the exact opposite of forgiveness in our domestic and international politics, in our policing, in our extreme sentencing, incarceration and execution of criminals, and many other contentious areas.

Listen Sirasa FM online live radio
SIRASA FM – the number one in Sri Lankan radio arena. The trend setters of the modern day broadcasting & the benchmark of the all time novelty of the entertainment industry. Sirasa FM had the very latest digital technology, latest transmission equipments & the DJ style broadcasting studios – a totally new concept to Sir Lanka. Siraa FM was the first to launch a pure Sinhala radio channel with crystal clear reception islandwide. They were the first to launch a non stop 24 hour transmission in Sri Lanka, and they were the first to launch interactive radio programs with listeners over the phone & first to go on line with a webcast to become the first ever worldwide Sinhala radio station in the world. Radio was at the verge of a natural death because of the strong Television industry; and MBC took a bold step in launching Sirasa FM. Only Pirith & News was heard on radio. But Sirasa FM was the turnaround brand of this dying industry, and gave life to many more competitors to arrive in to the market. Sirasa FM has been rated as the most popular radio station from the inception of National Media Survey in Sri Lanka. Sirasa FM is the pinnacle of the media arm of MBC / MTV media operations. News First is the news division of the MBC network. It also features Breakfast News, Lunch time News, Live @ 55 and Breaking News during daytime.

"Creative Coffeehouse" – Or whatever you want to call it, is a simple small event that costs you little to put on, but seems to be popular and meaningful to students, providing an alternative experience to the big stage. For the cost of custodial fees (or even less, depending on your school), you can present this student-run event. You won't make a lot of money, but you shouldn't lose any either, and if you are a new Theatre Director, looking to drum up some department excitement, this activity may appeal to you and your students.
What is it?
- A talent sharing show – no competition, no prizes. Low key, caring environment.
Where is it?
- On your theater stage or black box classroom. If onstage, bring chairs up for the audience to sit onstage with the student performers. This is an intimate event.
Who performs?
- You decide. Consider exclusivity for Theatre students, but others can perform in groups if a theatre student is in the group. If you have a close relationship with your music department, you may wish to include Choir students also.
- Hold auditions the week of the Coffeehouse; any sooner and kids won't get it together. This is an opportunity for the students who may or may not make your big shows; the kids who know theatre kids and want to find out more about the department, but aren't sure how; the kids who can't make a commitment to your major productions, but want to share.
How does this come together?
- Talk it up as soon as you secure a date on the calendar and make it part of your season events.
- Give guidelines to some department student leaders/Thespian Troupe Officers, but let them lead it and organize it. Check in with them to make sure they're on track.
- Even if kids lead and organize, you still need to be part of auditions in order to ensure fairness. Student leaders are great; student cliques not so much.
- Communicate with your booster group; they can use the opportunity to sell coffee, doughnuts, whatever the kids think will work.
- Consider a Thursday night, and finish before 10 p.m. These dates are often easier to procure and lend to the unique flavor of this event.
- Make sure you have techs lined up to run simple sound and lights.
- Keep it simple, small and intimate; sell tickets for $5 or less or just donations.
What to Expect…
- Singing, dancing, rock bands, guitars, juggling, stand-up comedy, spoken word, rap, improvisation, scenes from your Theatre classes, lots of fun and enthusiasm. Be sure to have a student MC to introduce each performer. Demand encouragement and kindness.

These scans, taken using fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging, show that strong words such as 'death,' 'trouble,' 'carefree,' and 'praise,' trigger different patterns of brain activity in people who are suicidal, compared with people who are not. That means that people at risk of suicide think about those concepts differently than everyone else-evidenced by the levels and patterns of brain activity, or neural signatures."

Shaun the Sheep comes to visit!Posted June 26, 2015 at 6:39 pm
We were privileged earlier this week to be joined by a very special Guest Brewer – Shaun the Sheep! Shaun is in the area having a look at the fabulous Brecon Beacons, and having his picture taken in all manner of places – take a look at #ShaunSelfie on Twitter and elsewhere to see what else he's been up to!
The start of the day : Shaun inspects the Mash – this is a Gold Beacons we're brewing…
Shaun checks the Mash – consistency and temperature look good – and by the expression on his face it tastes pretty good as well!
Obviously too good – Shaun! That's no way to treat the Mash!!
He's very friendly really – well so is Arran! [on the right for those who don't know him – he's the Assistant Brewer here]
Shaun was obviously getting thirsty towards the end of the day – even with a long straw, we think he'd have trouble drinking all 10,000 pints of Red Beacons in that FV!
All the manual work done – time for the hardest part of the day – organoleptic testing…
[For those who worry about these things, we had CAMRA's National Chief Steward on hand to age verify Shaun before he got his beer – despite his youthful good looks, he's old enough in sheep years!]
Many thanks to Catrin and the team at Brecon Beacons Tourism for assisting in his visit.

YORK, 06-Jan-2017 — /EuropaWire/ — York Talks is a day of free, 15 minute talks showcasing innovative research happening at York – from using maths to promote fertility and thinking of new methods to tackle food waste, to the biological life of robots and how academics are tackling global terrorism.
Sixteen short talks will be grouped together in sessions of four, followed by a Q&A, throughout the day. Anyone can attend a single session or all four.
PhD students will also take part in a 'Research Spotlight' exhibition displaying their work, and be on hand to answer questions during programme breaks. A judging panel will then award prizes for the best exhibition piece.
Professor Koen Lamberts, Vice-Chancellor and President at the University of York, said: "The University of York is home to an extraordinary range of innovative and diverse research. York Talks is an excellent way for the community to engage with our researchers and learn more about how our academics are working to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges."
Professor Nicky Milner, Lecturer in York's Department of Archaeology who is hosting a talk on the buried history of Star Carr, said: "It is a real pleasure to be asked to showcase one of our most exciting discoveries from Star Carr: 11,000 year old antler headdresses. The public have been extremely supportive of our project and we feel it is very important to make our research accessible and available to the wider community. York Talks provide a great opportunity to do that."

AcelRx starts third phase-3 trial of drug for post-operative pain
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A drug maker that specializes in pain medications started the third late-stage trial of a drug for treating pain in patients who have undergone certain surgeries.
AcelRx Pharmaceuticals announced the dosing of the first patient in a phase-3 trial of ARX-01 (sufentanil), also called the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System, a patient-controlled analgesic therapy designed to be placed under the tongue in patients who have undergone hip or knee-replacement surgery. The drug is designed as an alternative to treatments that involve intravenous pumps delivering morphine.
"The start of our third phase-3 clinical trial for ARX-01 is an important milestone for our lead sufentanil NanoTab development program," AcelRx president and CEO Richard King said. "The results of all three phase-3 registration studies are expected to form the basis of a new drug application for ARX-01, which we plan to submit to the [Food and Drug Administration] during the third quarter of 2013."
The study will enroll approximately 400 patients, who will receive either Sufentanil NanoTabs or placebo NanoTabs.

J&J, GSK start phase-3 trial program for rheumatoid arthritis drug
SPRING HOUSE, Pa. — A division of Johnson & Johnson has started a late-stage clinical trial program for a drug for rheumatoid arthritis under a partnership with British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline.
Janssen Biologics, based in Ireland, said it and GSK had started phase-3 studies of CNTO 136 (sirukumab), which the companies are investigating as a treatment for adults with moderately to severely active RA. The program includes two trials, SIRROUND-T and SIRROUND-D, which will assess how well CNTO 136 reduces signs and symptoms of the disease in patients who are allergic to certain drugs used to treat the disease.
"We are focused on advancing treatment options for chronic, debilitating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis," Janssen Research & Development VP and head of immunology development Jerome Boscia said. "We are pleased to be collaborating with GlaxoSmithKline on the clinical development of sirukumab, a protein therapeutic that we believe may represent an important treatment option for immunological diseases in the future."

PC Trailer:
You've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!
- Turn your overgrown field into a lively farm! Raise animals, grow crops, start an orchard, craft useful machines, and more! You'll have plenty of space to create the farm of your dreams.
- Improve your skills over time. As you make your way from a struggling greenhorn to a master farmer, you'll level up in 5 different areas: farming, mining, combat, fishing, and foraging. As you progress, you'll learn new cooking and crafting recipes, unlock new areas to explore, and customize your skills by choosing from a variety of professions.
- Become part of the local community. With over 30 unique characters living in Stardew Valley, you won't have a problem finding new friends! Each person has their own daily schedule, birthday, unique mini-cutscenes, and new things to say throughout the week and year. As you make friends with them, they will open up to you, ask you for help with their personal troubles, or tell you their secrets! Take part in seasonal festivals such as the luau, haunted maze, and feast of the winter star.
- Explore a vast, mysterious cave. As you travel deeper underground, you'll encounter new and dangerous monsters, powerful weapons, new environments, valuable gemstones, raw materials for crafting and upgrading tools, and mysteries to be uncovered.
- Breathe new life into the valley. Since JojaMart opened, the old way of life in Stardew Valley has changed. Much of the town's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair. Help restore Stardew Valley to it's former glory by repairing the old community center, or take the alternate route and join forces with Joja Corporation.
- Court and marry a partner to share your life on the farm with. There are 10 available bachelors and bachelorettes to woo, each with unique character progression cutscenes. Once married, your partner will live on the farm with you. Who knows, maybe you'll have kids and start a family?
- Spend a relaxing afternoon at one of the local fishing spots. The waters are teeming with seasonal varieties of delicious fish. Craft bait, bobbers, and crab pots to help you in your journey toward catching every fish and becoming a local legend!
- Donate artifacts and minerals to the local museum.
- Cook delicious meals and craft useful items to help you out. With over 100 cooking and crafting recipes, you'll have a wide variety of items to create. Some dishes you cook will even give you temporary boosts to skills, running speed, or combat prowess. Craft useful objects like scarecrows, oil makers, furnaces, or even the rare and expensive crystalarium.
- Customize the appearance of your character and house. With hundreds of decorative items to choose from, you'll have no trouble creating the home of your dreams!
- Over two hours of original music.

LONDON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson are hosting a meeting in London in which they hope to break Libya's political stalemate and resolve its acute cash shortage.
Monday's session comes after the U.N.-backed Libyan government's failure to win legitimacy — or to function at all — amid deep political fragmentation.
Kerry and Johnson are joined by designated Prime Minister Fayez Serraj and other diplomats. The ministerial meeting is designed to deal with economic and security issues facing the government.
The U.N.-backed government has failed to win endorsement of the eastern-based, internationally recognized parliament, which is a prerequisite to assume power. At the same time, Serraj is facing a challenge from a self-declared prime minister in Tripoli who is trying to establish control in the chaotic North African country. There have been sporadic reports of violence in the capital and other parts of the country.
Kerry also plans to join London Mayor Sadiq Khan at a session to discuss counter-terrorism efforts with London youths.
Libyans are facing a severe cash crisis after years of declining revenues from oil exports. Terminals have been shut down due to the ongoing violence and the militia's takeover of the terminals.
The Libyan economy depends entirely on oil revenues.

Those distracted-looking shoppers who are calling and texting in bricks and mortar establishments aren't just killing time or catching up on messages. 6% of them are more likely to buy, according to a ForeSee Results study.
In "Mobile Apps: The Next Big Thing," the study found shoppers using a mobile device in-store are 6 percent more likely to buy.
Here's what customers are doing on those devices.72% have called someone about a product they're considering purchase
40% have sent a picture of the product they're considering
24% have gone online to compare prices
15% have looked up product reviewsForeSee is touting this as good news for retailers. It is, but with the fairly obvious caveat of putting price pressure on retailers in an already tough economy. Consumers who find they can acquire the object of their desire cheaper down the street or online are likely not to be shy about attempting to negotiate down prices.
Bet a study about that is forthcoming later this year, as mobile use becomes even more ubiquitous.

A boy was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful Princess, I will stay with you for one week." The boy took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a Princess, I'll stay with you and do *Anything* you want." Again the boy took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is it? I've told you I'm a beautiful Princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do *Anything* you want. Why won't you kiss me?
The boy said, "Look I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for girlfriends, but a talking frog is really cool."
Scott took his blind date to the carnival. "What would you like to do
first, Mary?" asked Scott.
"I want to get weighed," she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser.
He guessed 120 pounds. She got on the scale, it read 117 and she won a
Next the couple went on the Ferris wheel. When the ride was over, Scott
again asked Mary what she would like to do.
"I want to get weighed," she said. Back to the weight guesser they went.
Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Scott
lost his dollar.
The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to go next.
"I want to get weighed," she responded.
By this time, Scott figured she was really weird and took her home early,
dropping her off with a handshake.
Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, "How'd it go?"
Mary responded, "Oh, Waura, it was wousy, he just wouldn't way me.
A blonde and a redhead met in a bar after work for a drink, and were watching the 6 O'clock news. A man was shown threatening to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge.
The blonde bet the redhead $50 that he wouldn't jump, and the redhead replied, 'I'll take that bet!'
Anyway, sure enough, he jumped, so the blonde gave the redhead the $50 she owed.
The redhead said 'I can't take this, you're my friend.'
The blonde said 'No. A bet's a bet'.
So the redhead said 'Listen, I have to admit, I saw this on the 5 O'clock news, so I can't take your money'.
The blonde replied, 'Well, so did I, but I never thought he'd jump again!'
A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull.
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store.
The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking.
After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn't resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn't have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn't have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!"
The old rancher replied, "Well, I'll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning."
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmation dog.
The children started discussing what the dog's duties might be.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
A third child concluded. "No silly, they use the dogs to find the fire hydrant!"

Time: Saturday 10am
Location: Maylands
Duration: 3 hours
If youre looking for a new hobby and are in a creative mood, crochet is just the thing for you. Learn how to wield a crochet hook and create something special in these classes for absolute beginners.
Each Crochet for Beginners class is designed for those who have had little to no experience with a crochet hook, or those who have used a crochet hook a little and would like to build on their basic crochet knowledge.
Throughout the class, your host will go through the basic crochet stitches, such as double crochet, treble crochet, chain stitch, slip stitch, their abbreviations and how to change colours while crocheting in the round. Learning the basic stitches will allow you to continue your crochet journey after the class.
As you start on your own Granny Square or work on your Soft Bowl, the crochet host is there to help when you get stuck and assist as you practice your new skills.
For the class dedicated to Granny Squares, you will use acrylic yarn to begin your crochet journey, learning the foundations of creating a granny square. Many granny squares can be joined together to create a blanket, or join just a few together to create a tea cosy.
The class dedicated to creating a Soft Bowl will use a chunky, eco-friendly recycled T-shirt yarn and focus on its many benefits. You will leave the class with a unique and personal soft bowl that you have created yourself, a decorative soft bowl that can be used for nearly anything.
Class sizes are kept small so each participant will have a chance to interact with the host on a one-to-one basis. Participants will be provided with all the equipment on the day, including an aluminium crochet hook, sample patterns, and appropriate yarn.
A complimentary standard-size non-alcoholic beverage is included as part of the class price.
Come along to a Crochet for Beginners class and learn the beginning steps of a versatile and fun lifelong skill.
Please Note:
