Implementing a Cloud Ready Software Defined WAN - Challenges & Opportunities
Oct 18 2018
61 mins
Amar Singh; Steve Vickers
With the explosion of cloud-based cloud ready applications, many organisations struggle with optimising application performance for cloud or hybrid environments. The culprit, in many cases, is the connectivity from the offices to the cloud. The wide area network, (WAN) connecting offices to the Internet and to other offices, is still playing catchup. WAN technology is stuck in the old-age.
Think about this: Does your business, small or large, have two or more broadband connections, maybe a broadband and a dial up or some other form of Internet connectivity? Apart from the security risk of having too many Internet points of exit, your business is also wasting money and resources in managing these various connectivity channels.
In this webinar, Amar Singh and Steve Vickers explore the problems typically faced by organisations based on the latest research and show how organisations can create a seamless and secure SD-WAN infrastructure without having to manage multiple products.

FAQ: When I invest, what happens and when?
For clarity, in the example below we assume you make or send payment immediately on Day 1. Obviously, any delays you make to this payment will correspondingly delay all subsequent events as listed. So for example if you don't make payment till Day 3, everything will be pushed back by two days.
In the timeline below we assume payment by DBS Bill Pay which of course may not always be the case. Variations of timings due to different payment methods are noted below.
Typical timeline
Day 1: Place your online order at dollarDEX website (assumed done before 1400hrs)
Day 1: You will see the order in your online Account Activity page
Day 1: You will receive an email confirming that you have placed the order (it will not show number of units yet)
Day 1: You make your payment by DBS Bill Payment
Day 1 at 1400hrs: Your order is sent to our custodian and you can no longer cancel the order in your account activity
Day 2: Assuming payment received and identified before 1330hrs, order will be sent to fund manager, locking in your price at Day 2's price (assuming fund is trading on that day).
Day 3 morning: You will receive an email confirming that your order has been placed. Payment status will be set ("date paid") in your online Account Activity page, although the order will show "pending" for the units.
Day 5 morning: You will receive an email confirming the price and number of units for your order. The order will show completed in Account Activity and Portfolio Statement pages.
- If you are paying with CPFIS-OA, CPFIS-SA, or SRS your payment will be received automatically on Day 3 and the order will be placed at Day 3's price.
- If you are paying with DBS 3rd-party internet transfer your payment may be received on Day 1 or Day 2, depending on what time of day you initiate the payment.
- If you are paying with non-DBS internet transfers your payment will typically be received on Day 3 but may take till Day 4.
- If you are paying with cheque and post the cheque on Day 1 your payment will typically be received on Day 4 (this timing is not predictable).
- Timing also depends on the Price frequency and Dealing basis of the fund. See FAQ below for more information.
- Timings for products for accredited investors may differ substantially from those shown above, contact us for details for each product.

Procter & Gamble Co.'s Pantene, along with this year's new brands, Unilever's Dove and L'Oreal's Garnier Fructis, each will spend more than $100 million on marketing support next year, according to retail executives and others close to the companies.
New-product activity won't be as intense as early 2003, retailers said. But marketing support behind each contestant's key brands may be as heavy or heavier. Unilever and Garnier both plan in 2004 to match year-one marketing levels behind Dove and Fructis. Products from all the marketers ship in January, with TV and print ads expected to break in February or March.
brilliant brunette
In addition to launches by the big three, Kao Corp.'s John Frieda looks to play off success of its Sheer Blonde brand by launching Brilliant Brunette in January. The brand will be backed by what Andrew Jergens Co. VP-Marketing and Sales Brad Kirk describes as Frieda's biggest launch budget ever, led by TV and print, the first work for Jergens by new agency Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners, New York.
Unilever said Dove Foam Conditioners for regular and color-treated hair will be a category first, applying a foaming concept already popular with hand soap brands to conditioners for women with fine or thinning hair. The mousse-like foam with the brand's trademark "weightless moisturizers" sinks in, spreads out and washes away better than regular conditioners, according to Unilever. At the same time, P&G will launch Pantene Full & Thick, a five-item lineup that promises to make hair 35% thicker, a spokeswoman said.
Both the Dove and Pantene products target 70% of women the companies said have fine or thinning hair. Both will get a full range of ad support, including TV and print. WPP Group's Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Chicago, handles Dove. Grey Global Group's Grey Worldwide, New York, handles Pantene.
Besides expanding Fructis into styling aids, Garnier is also looking to shore up its declining hair-color business with Garnier 100% Color, featuring "pure colorants and micro minerals" in red packaging reminiscent of sibling L'Oreal's Couleur Experte, also launched in early 2003. Publicis Groupe's Publicis Worldwide, New York, handles the brand, which will get a $70 million launch.
battle of the brands
Dove has inched ahead recently in a close-fought battle of the shampoo and conditioner brands, with sales of $61 million to $52.6 million for Fructis through Oct. 5, according to Information Resources Inc. Under pressure from both, P&G has seen shares decline 4.6 percentage points in shampoo and 5.8 points in conditioner in the past 12 weeks compared to the year-ago period, according to figures from VNU's ACNielsen Corp. reported by Banc of America Securities.
Under new pressure from Fructis, Henkel looks to rescue its flagging Dep styling brand with a restage that includes eight new products, including lightweight Sheer Gels, conditioning Cream Gels, and the latest in a growing array of challengers to Frieda's Frizz Ease. Dep will get a print campaign and yet-undisclosed sports sponsorship for three new Dep Sport styling products.
The new gels are lighter and less sticky than traditional gels, including a foaming version of the cream gels, said Diana Tram, Dep senior brand manager. The relaunch also includes new sleeker, more "shelf-efficient" bottles to help Dep hold ground in a more crowded segment.
Magazine ads from Omnicom Group's DDB Worldwide, Los Angeles, break in April, as does a tie-in with the National Basketball Association for the Dep Sport line, including sponsorship of and sampling through the NBA Jam Van and ads on NBA.com.

The Bear Scouts are a branch of Boy Scouts appropriate for 9-year-old boys, and the club has a handbook with adventures the boys must complete to earn a Bear badge. Bear scouts must complete six required adventures and one of 13 elective adventures.
The Bear Handbook includes a parent guide and basic information about the Bear Trail. It also includes Cub Scout basics such as the promise, mission statement, motto, salute and sign.
The majority of the handbook is concerned with the Bear Trail, which are the adventures scouts must complete to earn the Bear badge. The Bear Trail is broken up into four categories: God, country, family and self. Boys should complete at least one task from each category.
An example of a task related to the God category is for scouts to discuss their religion with their family and religious leader. They should know the names of people who have been very religious, discuss ways for strengthening their faith and practice their faith in a place of worship.
An example of a task related to country is to conduct research about a famous American and present it to the Bear troop. Other types of adventures are related to typical Boy Scout activities such as learning about knife safety, camping and planning events for younger scouts.

TASMAN Machinery has recently introduced Dynisco Instruments' new line of pressure transmitters with Foundation Fieldbus capability.
The three new models are:
-FFX2242, a thread-mounted pressure and temperature transmitter for processing applications, designed for use in both hazardous and non-hazardous locations;
-FFX2281, a rugged industrial pressure transmitter for use in both hazardous and non-hazardous locations; and,
-FFX2291, a button seal pressure transmitter for use in both hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
All of these products are designed for both ATEX and explosion-proof/flameproof operation.
Douglas Joy, Vice President of Marketing for Dynisco, says that for processing control and monitoring, including temperature and pressure control in plastics applications, the trend towards using digital devices continues.
Dynisco is introducing these products in anticipation of industry's shift towards digital control.
With the continued pressures on manufacturers to find ways to cut costs while increasing or at least maintaining profits, the number of companies making the switch is increasing rapidly, says Joy.
He adds that digital pressure transmitters provide much richer data for a given application than what is possible with an analog transmitter. They also offer better performance through improved accuracy and higher resolution; and overall cost is lower due to the need for fewer wires, meaning a simpler interface to the control system, and faster setup and configuration.
Foundation Fieldbus is one of the leading digital systems for process applications, providing an open, integrated architecture for information integration.
It is rapidly replacing HART in the process industry for intrinsically safe applications. Among the various choices of digital protocol, it appears to be leading the way by providing a robust platform for distributing control among intelligent field devices on the plant floor, and digitally communicating that information at high speed.
Companies implementing this technology could gain competitive advantage by realising cost savings through reduced installation and maintenance costs, and improved operations by increasing control over the entire manufacturing process.

Last Tuesday was voting day in the United States for most people. Though it wasn't the president we were voting for, we were electing state officials which is equally as important.
Bear in mind, I do not affiliate with any particular political party. I do not feel an American can be defined as a whole by the ideals of one party. We all tend to lean one way or another and share some beliefs as our counterparts on the opposite end of the spectrum. It would be unfair to say we are definitely ANYTHING. You could say I'm a fence sitter, the voter candidates want on their side. It doesn't mean I'm special, or think people should fight over me for my opinion. If a candidate gets my vote, it is an earnestly thought out decision. Many people fought for the right to vote so people like me could, and it isn't something I take lightly.
When Tuesday rolled around, I made sure to get ready early for work and vote on the way there. Dressed in my work uniform, equipped with my name tag, I pulled up to the school where we vote. The school is lodged between two large pieces of farm land and sits across from a gas station. It's right in the middle of a burgeoning district where a lot of voters my age are parents and raising families. We also have the older crowd who are either grandparents, or they are in the age where their children are already moved out of the house. We are the generations starting to make this place a city, a place to be, a place to live. As I strolled up the sidewalk, there was a small gathering of middle-aged people in sunglasses. Fifteen years ago this was a different story. Fifteen years ago I was 21 and inundated by a gauntlet of volunteers; people my parents age, to vote for fluoride use in the water systems, or not. I had a handful of flyers and talked to 5 different people by the time I reached the voting booth. This time I was surprised.
It was close to 100 degrees out. Everyone seemed to huddle in the sun near their campaign posters. As I got closer I flashed a huge smile to the man with a pot belly in his 50's wearing a straw hat and police issue glasses. He kind of smiled back. Finally I said, "How ya' doin' today?" He exchanged a mundane platitude and a comment about the heat. Just past him was a woman who just looked at me, had a slight smile on her face, not saying anything to me. To her side was another male in his late 60's shooting the breeze with someone close to his age. The woman still didn't acknowledge me. They all stayed close to their signs like lizards wearing shades under a heat lamp, not speaking a word to me.
Once inside the school library where the voting took place, it was a different story. Air conditioning may have greeted my skin but the poll volunteers there (who are to be impartial) greeted me with warmth. They were glad to see the turn out they had. We talked about education and teased about penmanship. It was a contrast to the "heir" outside. Their smiles made me want to stay and talk to them longer and have an intelligent conversation about topics that ACTUALLY matter.
After filling in the little bubbles next to soon-to-be-important names, I turned in my voter ballot. It was anti-climactic.
I wanted to celebrate for those who couldn't vote in the past, for my great grandmothers, my great aunts, those family members who wrote in newspapers trying to get the word out that our voice, though it may feel as though you are one, lone, female voice, it still matters. I wanted to celebrate that I wasn't taken away in handcuffs like Susan B. Anthony for being a voting female, or that I was allowed to vote even though my ancestry isn't 100% white.
Confetti didn't rain from the ceiling, the pollsters didn't start a slow-clap erupting into applause. It was silent. Silence followed by the whir of the machine sucking in my ballot like a spaghetti noodle and two elderly people trying to remember what they were going to do next.
With my hand on the metal bar of the door, I was already regretting the feel of the heat on my face, but even more so, I wasn't looking forward to the secret cold judgement of the political volunteers that stood on the other side of the sidewalk. To my surprise, when I opened the door and moseyed down the sidewalk, a man was approaching the school the same manner. Idid.
The man was in his mid 40's, Caucasian, wearing a plaid collared dress shirt, nice dress slacks, a black leather belt and scuff free shoes. The volunteers moved toward him and started to bring him into their huddle. They did all but break out the ticker tape parade. The man I had to greet, greeted this guy with open arms, a smile and a polite exchange. The woman said a sentence to him. The other man who couldn't be bothered to pay attention to a potential voter when I came in, greeted this guy with a huge hello, open arms and a pen.
I went back to my car, got in, and while waiting for the heat to dissipate I looked out wondering, "Where's my pen?"
Have you experienced anything like this at the voting booth? Was it due to age, gender or race?

Did the analysts who caused Apple's stock drop also cast Ashton Kutcher to play Jobs?
Every quarter, a public company's earnings either meet analysts's expectations or they do not. It's one or the other.
Every four years, a Republican or a Democrat is elected President of the United States. It's one or the other.
We Americans love binary decisions, and we love guessing how those decisions will come out, and we really love to follow those who make a living off these binary guesses.
The most famous and beloved binary guesser in America today is a reclusive little guy with bad eyesight who spends all his time holed up in the Northeast until his handlers bring him out to make his predictions. So far, he has a 39% accuracy rate.
On 50/50 bets.
We love predictions, but clearly we couldn't care less about accuracy.
The famous and beloved binary guesser I'm talking about, of course, is Punxsutawney Phil (sorry, Nate), the Pennsylvania groundhog who comes out of his hole at the beginning of February every year to tell us what kind of spring we're going to have. Will it be an early spring, or will we have six more weeks of winter? It's one or the other.
And in 116 years, lovable Btfsplk Phil has called it 39% of the time. That's what, 45 out of 116? So how bad is that? Let's consult our friend the binomial distribution. Here's what Wolfram Alpha says:
number of trials: 116
success probability: 1/2
left endpoint: 0
right endpoint: 46
p ( 0 < x < 46 ) = 0.00994
I'm guessing that Mxyzptlk Phil isn't guessing. He knows something. You can't be wrong this often by chance. He's an excellent predictor; he's just wrong most of the time.
Not like newspaper psychics, astrological charts, or political pundits. They're just bad. (And they know it: long-time pundit Bay Buchanon announced this year that she's quitting the prognostication racket and taking an online real estate course.)
Of course Presidential election predictions are a crap shoot. At least the kind where you look at past elections and try to extrapolate to the next one. The clinker is the paucity of data. Since 1788, Presidential elections have only generated a bit less than half the number of data points ol' Bqhatevwr Phil has.
Fifty-six Presidential elections. That's all you've got to work with, and for most of those elections you have little in the way of helpful demographic data. You can be pretty sure George Washington was elected without carrying the usually crucial Ohio electoral votes, but how did John Tyler do among urban seniors (which in 1841 probably meant people over 44)? We just don't know.
Usually Presidential predictions based on past elections restrict themselves to even less data. When you hear, "Since World War II no one has been elected President without..." you can tell the speaker to stop right there. The bar predictors have to get over to get out of anecdote space and into statistics is about twenty data points. There are not twenty data points in the number of Presidential elections since World War II.
I'm not saying that articles on what past Presidential elections can tell us about the next one are worthless. I'm saying that their worth lies in the discipline of literature, not science.
There are things you can predict with some confidence. Like predicting that Ashton Kutcher playing Steve Jobs wasn't going to work out well. Or that the you'd already have broken most of this year's New Year's resolutions by now.
And predicting where technology is going, piece of cake. Like this delicious angelfood on the future of ERP.
Then there are the people whose job it is to predict how a public company will perform in the next quarter. That's a tough job, clearly, because—no, wait: their job is to predict how well a company will turn out to have performed in the last quarter. Huh. That seems like it would be easier. Anyway, how well do they perform? Apple makes more money than any other company in the history of the world, and its stock goes down. Why? Because the predictors predicted badly.
Those predictors suck.
At least there's one bit of rationality that emerges from all this tea-leaf failure. It now makes perfect sense that Google has hired Ray Kurzweil to chart its course into the unknown.
But this story need a moral. How's this: Esther Schindler passed along the fact that the guy who predicted the end of the world last year—OK, yeah, I know, that doesn't narrow it down enough—Harold Camping, the guy who predicted that the world would end on May 21—that guy? He's a former engineer. Esther quotes TIL: "Which just proves what we always knew: NEVER trust an engineer when he gives you a schedule."
John Shade was born under a cloud in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1962. Subsequent internment in a series of obscure institutions of ostensibly higher learning did nothing to brighten his outlook. He confidently predicts that tomorrow he will be just as morose as today. Follow John on Twitter, send him your feedback, or discuss the article in the magazine forum.

Just So Much Tired, Sick & Traveling…. March 26, 2012Posted by Aman.... in Random Stuff.
Its now that I have finally sat with a little bit of free time after spending the entire doing tons of the things. As it is Monday today and I do fast on Mondays, the entire day went without having anything at all too, making it even more tougher than the usual. Even more,I am not feeling so well. AND even more, I am going on a travel tomorrow which is actually driving me crazy because of my mom.
The day started quite late since mom wasn't well at all and she was finally able to get some sleep at about 3am only. I slept at about 4am and since I had to do many things today, I woke up at about 8am. My cousin sister is visiting here since my sister has gone back to her in-laws home the other day. Though I wanted to start off early for all the tasks but then me, mom and my sister were caught up in a discussion and that took a while to get finished. After about an hour or so of talking, finally I went to temple and then left to city for a long day. There were couple of tasks to be done related to banks and that takes the maximum time if you ask me and it happened today too. I managed to finish all the things except for one bank for which I brought a document which I was asked to bring before but now, I have to get another document since the 1st one is marked "wrong" by the bank official. I tell you what, if its related to bank or for any such body, always be ready to get frustrated and upset since they can change whatever statement that they had given you before and yet can tell you that it was your own fault. Anyways, I was done with the 1st round of tasks and was feeling so much tired and just wanted to get back to home. So started off for home.
By the time I got back, it was about 4pm. I had a glass of milk and also some fruit. After that I had to get medicines for mom and also some grocery as I shall be leaving tomorrow and then it would be very tough for her to get something, even for my sister too since she doesn't know the places. Mom got her two fingers injured few days ago and that wound is giving her so much of pain. In addition to get the medicine for that, I got some other medicines also for her. Also, since my cousin is fasting for Navratri, so I got some stuff for her to eat as well.
Today, I got some thing for me too, a pair of shoes. Its been almost 3 years since I last bought a pair of shoes from Egle shoes, a flat sole shoe which I really really did like so much! That shoe is now in a very bad shape and it shouldn't be a surprise since I have wore it exclusively from the last 3 years. Its in such a bad shape and now, even no one is ready to repair it too. I did try to get the same pair few days back when I was at Hyderabad but it wasn't there or as I was told, it has been discontinued by the company. So I was "forced" to buy some another pair for the time being. Since it was a "forced" thing to do, I was obviously not happy with that pair. Its good but its not the one which I wanted to get in the first place. I decided to give a try when I shall come back home and today, co-incidentally I was crossing right in front of the shop from where I bought the pair last time. When I asked here, fortunately the pair was available though it was slightly modified now and also, the price was hiked by the company from the last time. But still, I did get it and I just hope that as like the 1st pair, this one also would serve me well. If you want to have a look, here it is. Now, I was done with all the things that I decided to finish for today before my travel and finally, I could get some time free and have a bit of rest before starting for tomorrow's travel. Its going to be a long travel and since my mom and my sister would be all by themselves back at home, I am just too much worried and concerned about them at the moment. If I could, I would had cancelled this travel but this can't be done and that means, its not going to be an easy or relaxed tour for me at all. I am just hoping and praying so hard that all goes well and both would be completely fine.
Its time to get back and see that if everything is in place since I shall be leaving quite early in the morning. If there is any part of my travel that I truly hate, it is this travel from my place to New Delhi which takes about 7 hours and trust me, its not a fun-filled journey at all, especially when you are doing it via a bus or even by a cab. But there is no other alternate because train time doesn't suit me and moreover, there is no seat availability of the seat as well. So the only alternate is to use a bus and that means, 7 hours of journey, a long one, really long one!
Oh and I almost forgot that I mentioned being "sick" too. Well, that's not much. When I got back home and was sitting on the chair, felt some thing moving on my upper lip and guess what, it was blood. Yeah, it was blood moving out from right nostril and I have no idea why. I am assuming that it might be because of some heat or summer stroke sort of thing but I am not too sure. As it started, it got stopped as well so I guess its okay. But since about 3 hours, I am having severe headache and stomach ache again for reason(s) that I have no clue about. Did I say that I am traveling tomorrow?

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Support.com, (NASDAQ:SPRT) fell more than 16% during Wednesday's intraday trading after the company announced preliminary fourth-quarter results and initial first-quarter 2014 guidance.
So what: Support.com now expects non-GAAP Q4 revenue in the range of $24.5 million to $25 million, which narrows its previous guidance of $24 million to $26 million. Meanwhile, analysts were modeling Q4 revenue of $25 million.
In addition, Support.com says non-GAAP income from continuing operations are now expected to be in the range of $0.08 per share and $0.09 per share, an increase of its previous guidance of $0.06 to $0.08 per share. Finally, at the end of Q4 the company had cash and equivalents remaining of $72 million, a $3.5 million sequential improvement over Q3.
However, Support.com also stated first-quarter 2014 revenue should be in the range of $16 million to $18 million, or well below expectations for sales of $21.87 million. This, in turn, should translate to non-GAAP income from continuing operations in the range of minus $0.04 per share to $0.00 per share.
Now what: CEO Josh Pickus weighed in, "We can now estimate the effects of program changes at Comcast on our business and want to update shareholders without delay."
That's fair enough, but I can't blame investors for bidding shares down today. Remember, shares of Support.com sank in October after Pickus noted that while changes in Comcast's signature support program shouldn't have a great effect revenue from the cable provider, they would almost certainly result in "considerably lower margins" going forward.
And though he elaborated today with optimism for a "set of new opportunities with Comcast and other industry leaders" in various other industries, I just can't get excited about Support.com stock until those catalysts materialize.

text: Hi, before you answered read this carefully! How I get the right keywords to get more power from google algorithm. So I do not mean to sell ebook software that I use "Ebook Software order", "Ebook Software", "Ebook Tools" and so on. With what keywords I get more effects for customers that order the ebook software? I do not mean to get in top 5 of this phrases! I would like get customers. So I need to push the word "EBook" only? So google mix more relevanted phrases for me to get better customer and order effects?


text: Let's begin with who I am and who I'm not. I'm not an IM. I'm a programmer with give or take 10 years of experience and despite all my knowledge, software and hardware(I happen to have 10 servers) I've never been able to make much on the side. Close to nothing in fact. So I come here with a straight forward question-you make a so called "landing page". Fair enough-the thing that is missing here is how do you drive traffic to that page. Some will say fiverr but let's be realistic here-how much of that traffic is real traffic? None-those are all bots. It takes exactly 4 minutes to make such a bot-I've made such myself. You want 50000 pageviews a day from unique IP's-yes. I can do that. With this in mind fiverr is a waste of money. I've setup a cron that looks through dropping domains and emails me the interesting once and even sends me an sms if they are really interesting. But still-back to my original question-how do you get people-real living and berthing people with a computer on your "landing page"?!?!?!?!?!??!

When Hegel wrote that history repeats itself, perhaps he was thinking of our seemingly infinite capacity to rationalize cruelty in the pursuit of power and wealth. For are not the pages of history filled with corporations which have sacrificed workplace health and safety on the altar of progress, throwing away human lives like so much chaff in an unquenchable drive for power and market share?While we may be a small company here at Popup Chinese, we cannot help but look upon this recurring pattern of industrial tyranny and ask the obvious question: why not us? And as Brendan and Echo share in this podcast, we're willing to let Google take the high road. Our path to glory involves conscripting our staff into forced labor in the construction of a giant monument to the glory of our cause and long-term tourist revenue. Perhaps some of this language will be useful to you too.

Is this new? I've been a basic subscriber for just over a month now and up until maybe two days ago i had access to all the things that you just described as premium subscriber stuff.
February 26, 2010
Hi Sam, David here. We had some technical issues switching to our new server that seem to have given you extended premium access. If you paid by credit card, our system would have bumped you up to premium subscriber automatically and rolled your permissions back to the basic plus level when your payment cleared. We do this to make sure everyone has full access immediately on payment. Because of the way our system worked, it's possible you had premium access for much longer before new server cleared it. I'm sorry if this caused problems for you or confusion about our subscription levels - it wasn't intentional. We do stand by our money-back guarantee, so if you're not happy we'd be pleased to refund your subscription, or ugprade it at the cost of the difference. If you have any problems or want us to take any specific action, please write us by email at the usual address (firstname.lastname@example.com).

"sacrified workplace health and safety on the 《alter》 of progress" 请问, I think that should be altar. History repeats: Was it Hegel or was it (whisper) Marx. the language is useful AND the philosophy is entertaining, especially in such a country (all of them) and at such a time, where everything is given its wrong name. Any more Lu Xun stories would be interesting. 中文的学生,我不喜欢汉字。 捏猛

paglin09: do you any more about its history? I've just heard vague stories about it being an old church and it being haunted.
March 14, 2010
@Dave You will have to ask Gail about the history. I remember a local store owner gave Gail the historical rundown, but I have forgotten the details. All I can remember from the conversation is that they will be tearing it down soon to make way for a new Bank of China. Also, I think a KMT Official's mistress committed suicide in there too. Spoooooky.
March 15, 2010
@paglino9, no, I don't think they will tear it down, it is among the 100 excellent buildings in Beijing, and actually it's FORBIDDEN to tear down that old haunted house. ~\(≧▽≦)/~

"Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" is the first episode of the fifth season of the American Fox science-fiction/drama television series Fringe, and the show's 88th episode overall. The episode premiered in the United States on September 28, 2012.[1]
It was written by J.H. Wyman and was directed by Jeannot Szwarc and Miguel Sapochnik.
Peter (Joshua Jackson), Walter (John Noble), and Astrid (Jasika Nicole), after being recovered by Etta (Georgina Haig), begin to adjust to the Observer-controlled world of 2036. Walter notes that he and the Observer September had created a plan prior to the Observers' takeover, but September had fragmented Walter's memory to protect the information. After the Observers' arrival, Walter had Olivia (Anna Torv) retrieve a device to help restore these memories, but she had disappeared. In the present, they trace Olivia's path, finding a nearby patch of amber, but cut into with several human-sized chunks removed. Etta explains there are "amber gypsies", who cut and sell trapped humans on the black market. They track down Olivia's piece of amber to Edward Markham (Clark Middleton), who had been in love with Olivia since the first time he saw her.
While they are retrieving the amber, the Observers, alerted by the black market dealer, arrive. Though they safely escape with Olivia, Walter is captured and taken to a secure Observer facility, where Captain Windmark (Michael Kopsa) arrives to interrogate him. Windmark starts violently probing Walter's mind. He taunts Walter with the fact that there is no music in this future, that nothing will grow from the scorched earth. On continued probing, Windmark discovers the fragmented memories and attempts to obtain the memories by any means possible.
Olivia is freed from the amber, and has a tearful reunion with Peter while meeting her grown up daughter for the first time. As they talk, it is revealed that Peter, Olivia, and young Etta were enjoying a picnic in a park on the day of the Observers' invasion, and Etta went missing in the confusion. Subsequently, Peter and Olivia had separated; Peter going to search for Etta, who had been taken by the Observers, and Olivia joining Walter in fighting them. Etta takes them to a hidden facility where human resistance members have found the device that Olivia had been trying to locate, the Transilience Thought-Unifier Model-11, which is capable of restoring Walter's thoughts, though they believe the device to be non-functional. While there, they are able to track Walter's capture to a secured Observer facility. Etta uses her Fringe credentials to break into the facility and recover Walter. Afterwards, Windmark connects Etta to images of a young girl from Walter's mind.
Once safe, Walter finds that the Unifier device activates to his touch, but when they try to use it, it fails to find any memories; Etta suspects that the memories were destroyed, and the plan is lost for good. A despondent Walter tries to sleep but is distracted by reflections from outside, which he traces to a makeshift sculpture made of broken CDs. In a bag nearby he finds an undamaged CD and plays it on a car's stereo; he cries as it plays Yazoo's "Only You", the first music he's heard since awaking in 2036. As he mulls emotionally, he spies a single dandelion, growing from the rubble, and cries to himself.
"Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" was written by showrunner J.H. Wyman, while being directed by Smallville and House M.D. veterans Jeannot Szwarc and Miguel Sapochnik.[2][3]
Filming of the episode commenced on July 18, 2012,[4][5] three months after Fox renewed the series for a 13-episode fifth and final season.[6] On July 24, 2012, production was halted for ten days due to actor John Noble's treatment for a sleeping disorder in Los Angeles.[7][8] According to Noble, he "basically hit a wall" after having struggled with insomnia and sleep apnea for years. "I went to the hospital, had all the tests, and we put the strategies into place to deal with both of those issues, including the space-age mask that I wear to bed now," he commented to Entertainment Weekly. "It's pretty unsightly."[9] The actor added, "I couldn't even think, mate. I was working and going: 'This is really hard.'"[9]
Beginning from this episode, former main cast member Seth Gabel will not appear, due to his character, Lincoln Lee, being written off at the end of season four.[10] Main cast members Lance Reddick and Blair Brown, who play Phillip Broyles and Nina Sharp respectively, did not appear in this episode and were not credited among the main cast. However, they were still listed in the episode's press release and will appear in later episodes.[11]
"Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11" first aired in the United States on September 28, 2012. An estimated 3.2 million viewers watched the episode. It earned a ratings share of 1.1 among adults aged 18 to 49, a tie with the series premiere of the CBS show Made in Jersey. The episode was up slightly from the previous season finale, but less than Fringe's fourth season premiere rating of 1.5.[12][13]
Noel Murray of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A-, noting that while the first half of the episode had much exposition, once Olivia was recovered, the emotional connection between all the main characters and the closing moments significantly improved the episode.[14] Zap2It's Carina Adly MacKenzie believed that with the season premiere, "Fringe completely reinvented itself," citing as evidence the lack of pressure to attract new viewers and instead the desire to please longtime fans. She called Haig a "revelation" and noted her resemblance to Torv, whom Adly MacKenzie asserted was "per usual, heartbreakingly perfect."[15] The Zap2It reviewer also found Walter's torture "tough to watch, but we can't tear our eyes away from John Noble's award-worthy performance."[15] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Jeff Jensen criticized Peter and Olivia's break-up backstory, believing it was not compatible with their known timeline and also because "it felt to me like Fringe was making more out of the matter than it should have, trying too hard to make some emotional drama, to give Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson something to play."[16] Jensen concluded his review by noting the series' departure from the old episode formula of "imbu[ing] the inhuman with as much emotional resonance as their human character" in favor of "a swift-moving serialized thriller," and hoped the change "has the weight and power that we've come to expect."[16]
Ramsey Isler of IGN was more critical of the episode and rated it 7.7 out of 10. Due to the season's shortened length, he said he was a "tiny bit concerned that this season premiere wasn't as powerful as I hoped."[17] Isler added that while the episode "does a good job of filling in the informational gaps... there's still something missing. There's still no link between where we were for 4 seasons, and where we are now."[17] He was unsure about Henrietta's addition, writing that because she was "thrust into the mix and viewers were just expected to accept her as is," she did not yet feel a part of the series. Isler did however praise the final sequence with Walter, writing that it "is a great scene; artfully directed and made even more special by the fact that Fringe rarely uses pop music to set the mood. This scene is simple, but impressive enough to stand out as the best part of this episode and set the tone for the rest of the season. There's still hope for this story and this world, and as usual Fringe viewers will have to be patient to see that hope spring forth."[17]

"Women in the Word of God every day" is the heartbeat of She Reads Truth. It is our mission and vision all in one. So, it's our joy today to share with you a book from our friend Angie Smith that extends this invitation to the youngest "she's"—your daughters.
Angie has a genuine heart for the Lord and His Word as evidenced in everything she writes. For Such A Time As This is no exception.
We had the privilege of catching up with Angie this week to chat about this very special project (illustrated by the lovely Breezy Brookshire!) that brings stories of women in the Bible to young girls. We hope you'll read through to the end so that her words may inspire you the way they have us. (This is #praisehands territory, you guys.)
SRT: What inspired you to write For Such a Time as This? What is your prayer for this book and the girls who read it?
Angie: As a mom to four daughters, I have always wanted to find a product like this. I've looked and looked but haven't found something specific to girls with the kind of detail that I longed for. I wanted a resource that was Biblically accurate and interesting for my kids, but also invited deeper conversation, and I hope I've provided that in For Such A Time As This.
In addition to the stories themselves, there are sections that follow each story and include memory verses, aspects of God's character, and even ways that parents can pray over their children. My prayer is that the book will bring these characters to life and be a launchpad for parents and their daughters to dig deeper into the Word of God.
SRT: Which woman's story in the Bible do you identify with most? What was it like to rewrite her story for your daughters?
Angie: That's a hard question! For some reason, the first person who comes to mind is Rahab. As a woman who hadn't lived a "godly" lifestyle, she recognizes the God who brings spies to her home. Against what would have been considered her better judgment, she protects them and aligns herself with the one true God. The beauty of stories like this is that we can see God's hand as He redeems her past, giving her a son (Boaz) who would become one of the most respected men in the Old Testament.
To be honest, I cried while writing this story and many of the others. It was just very emotional to consider the affection of God and to realize that this God, the same God who put the stars in place, not only wrote all of the stories in this book but also the stories of those reading them. The perspective was humbling and beautiful, and it gave me a fresh sense of gratitude that He would allow me to be a part of any of it.
SRT: The She Reads Truth community is a beautifully diverse group of women from around the world. What would you say to us today about the importance of women's stories in God's Word and the importance of our own stories?
Angie: It's easy to miss the big picture because we are so caught up in our own details. We can only see this tiny piece of God's scroll, and the reality is that all of the seemingly mundane events in our lives are written in a much bigger story. When we read about these women and we have the benefit of hindsight, we are reminded that our lives hold the same weight that theirs did, and that we are chosen, loved, and redeemed. I've long believed that one of the Devil's best tricks is to convince us that we're "unredeemable," and as we turn the pages of God's Word, the letters jump off the page and form one spectacular and life-changing sentence: "You were bought at a price for a purpose for such a time as this." Who can comprehend a love like that?
I pray that the grown women who read these stories will be reminded of these truths along with younger girls. Like Esther, we make choices every day about the legacy we leave and the way our lives will change the course of history. I pray that the women who read these words will gain a glimpse of the way their Father loves them, and that they will walk into their destinies with unshakeable faith. We only see a minuscule part of God's glorious scroll, but I pray that this book is a reminder that it stretches into eternity… and that our names are written on it. May we make every single moment an offering to the God who allowed it to be so.
Angie and B&H Publishing have generously offered signed copies of For Such A Time As This to ten members of the She Reads Truth community. Enter below for a chance to win. On entry per "She". Giveaway ends Sunday night!
Enjoy your Grace Days between reading plans, and meet us back here Monday, October 27th, as we begin a brand new study on Hospitality!

DENVER – The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has generated millions of dollars from medical marijuana registrants, but failed to regulate and monitor caregivers and physicians to ensure the drug is dispensed to patients – and not recreational pot users, according to state auditors.
The audit, presented Monday to the Legislative Audit Committee, revealed that 12 physicians had recommended half of the 108,656 patients who have been issued "red cards" to purchase medical marijuana.
One physician recommended 8,400 patients for medical marijuana. Yet, the auditors cited a study that reported the average doctor in United States cares for 2,300 patients.
A couple of doctors recommended excessive amounts of marijuana for patients. Instead of an average six marijuana plants per patient, one physician recommended 501 plants. In another case, the physician prescribed 75 ounces for a patient instead of two ounces.
The auditors also found several doctors advertising their services on websites – and making false claims in violation of the laws regulating medical marijuana.
Despite these red flags, the department has not referred any doctors to the Colorado Medical Board for investigation since 2011.
One doctor was investigated for recommending medical marijuana patients without performing a physical examination in 2010. The department reported five physicians because they had made exorbitant numbers of medical marijuana recommendations in 2011.
Karin McGowan, interim director of the Department of Public Health and Environment, said it's very difficult to ascertain whether some physicians have a high number of patients because they simply specialize in medical marijuana care or if they're acting inappropriately.
"What we normally do and what we're good at, and what we're normally authorized to do, is to oversee facilities – not people," said McGowan.
She also said the department has no means of investigating doctors to ensure they are not involved in illegal activities, such as having financial ties or interest in medical marijuana businesses.
The audit also criticized the department for failing to assess and monitor caregivers who are authorized to supply marijuana. Caregivers, age 18 and older, are also required to assist patients in their daily lives.
In March, auditors faulted the state Department of Revenue's Marijuana Enforcement Division for mismanagement and failing to regulate dispensaries and cultivation facilities. The department will oversee recreational marijuana which voters approved under Amendment 64 last November.
