IBM says that now is great time for KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) technology as a result of key contributions from its large developer community.
The KVM hypervisor is an open source virtualization technology and, increasingly, it is becoming an important tool in any Linux user's handbook, especially in light of OpenStack.
KVM is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V) and consisting of a loadable kernel module (kvm.ko) that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor-specific module (kvm-intel.ko) or (kvm-amd.ko).
IBM says that hypervisors have had to better manage compute, network, and storage resources — and that this need that has been fulfilled by KVM.
The "potential" of KVM for enterprises is incredibly valuable far beyond its origins — just like Linux — asserts Jim Wasko in his role as director of IBM's Linux Technology Center.
"After a year of contributing patches to the KVM community, IBM is announcing that a Power Systems version of KVM, PowerKVM, will be available on IBM's next-generation Power Systems servers tuned for Linux before the end of the quarter," he said.
There are two reasons why IBM created a KVM product to exploit the Power Systems architecture — beyond its increasing deployment in the open source environment.
First, says Wasko, Linux users wanted a "familiar" look-and-feel for virtualization; and second, cloud solutions demand KVM's flexibility, performance, and OpenStack integration.
"We also recognize that for those who prefer to work in a pure Linux environment, working with KVM is highly desirable. Just like Linux, KVM for Power exploits the underlying hardware including multi-threading, large memory support, and a range of I/O. It also comes with Kimchi — a graphical open-source tool for easy virtualization management of simple configurations. Larger configurations such as clouds can be managed with OpenStack-based tools."

The legends surrounding the life of the Buddha have been the principal sources of inspiration for the creators of Buddhist Jewelry & Buddhist Art. A knowledge of these are needed for a meaningful insight into the nuances of Buddhist art, since each stage of the Buddha's many existences, along with the established tenets of buddhism religion, play a part in the development of the Tibet Buddhist Jewelry and art. The Buddha Jewelry, Buddhist Jewelry, Buddha statues, and the diverse buddha paintings illustrate the deep influence of buddhism on buddha art and vice versa.
Tibetan jewelry has its own charm because of the Hinduism culture and the tibetan belief and faith. The clean and mythical sky and air in Tibet and Nepal makes everything different from other areas and peoples. They make jewelries one by one in hand, not machine. They make the tibetan jewelry one by one with heart, with soul, with love. Everything here regarding with the peoples are mythical and attractive. We love it, and can not wait to take it.
Me, the store manager, Echo Zheng,can not remember how many times I have been to Tibet and Nepal for travel, for business, only for rest of my heart and soul. I love these two areas; I love the sky, the cloud, the sunshine, the people and everything there. That's why I try to sell their artworks and give them good prices. They are worthy of good prices because of the wild but dedicate artwork. But to me, myself, I prefer artworks from Nepal. Because you know now People in Tibet have better living than before, so everything is more expensive but, it seems it's not good for the artwork - they pay less attention on artwork. Nepalese people work very fine for the tibetan jewelries and tibetan artworks, however, since too many people love their jewelries, but they have not much electricty support. They can only work for about 4 hours everyday because of the lack of electricty. And that's why the prices are higher and higher.

In Memoriam: 145th Memorial Day Remembrance
Memorial Day, originally called "Decoration Day," was proclaimed an official holiday on May 5, 1868 by Army General John Logan. On this day, the flag of the United States is kept at half-mass until noon in remembrance of those who have lost their lives in service of our country, and then raised back to full-staff for the remainder of the day as an inspiration to the living to continue to fight for liberty and justice. The flags on the historic Old Town Plaza in Albuquerque have observed this tradition for 145 years and will fly proudly once again this year. Join the City of Albuquerque Cultural Services Department today for a special day of remembrance. The flag ceremony will begin at noon and will be followed by special dance performances from local groups. Professional dance company Ballet en Fuego will take the stage at 6 p.m. and Grammy nominee Micky Cruz will perform at 7 p.m. Old Town Plaza • Fri May 24 • 'Til 9 pm • FREE • View on Alibi calendar

Twenty Ten is our first update to the "default" theme (the one you see when you start a new blog) on WordPress.com. The goal with Twenty Ten was to create something stylish, customizable, simple, and most of all, readable. Since every new WordPress.com user would be seeing Twenty Ten, we wanted to design an example of what a WordPress theme can do.
Custom Headers
Twenty Ten comes with a selection of great header images. It's easy to switch between any of the included header images or upload your own. You can even use a different custom header image for each post by including a Featured Image when you publish a new post.
Custom Backgrounds
One of the easiest ways to customize a theme to your personal style is with a custom background image or color. Twenty Ten is the first theme to use WordPress' new custom background feature, so it's easy to pick a new background color, upload an image, and tweak its tiling and positioning. If you've ever had to write CSS or muck about with code just to change your background color, we think you'll really dig this new feature.
Drop-down menus
Twenty Ten neatly organizes your pages into a menu right in your blog's header, and includes drop-down menus for multiple levels of nested sub-pages.
Special styles for formatted posts
Twenty Ten includes special styles for multiple Post Formats, including Aside and Gallery. When viewed on an index page (like your home page or a list of posts from a particular month), asides get a simplified look that seamlessly fit between full-length posts, while galleries give a peek at the photos that lie within. Post Formats are designated with an inconspicuous archive link under the post content, within the post meta, noting the specific Format.
Editor Styles
Have you ever found yourself hitting the Preview button while composing so you can see what your post will look like with your theme's styles. Twenty Ten aims to break that addiction by using the editor styles feature of WordPress. Now, the Visual Editor in WordPress can mimic the look of your theme, so you get a perfect visual representation of your post while you're writing.
Choosing a Page Template
By default, Twenty Ten uses a two-column layout with lots of room for widgets. If you'd like to hide the widgets and focus on the writing for a particular page, just choose the "One column, no sidebar" template.
Widgets Galore
Twenty Ten has two sidebar widget areas (extra-useful for those of you who customize your CSS) as well as four footer widget areas. It's easy to load Twenty Ten up with lots of widgets without sacrificing your blog's design.
Beautiful in Print
Everyone has experienced unpleasant surprises when trying to print an article from a web site. Twenty Ten includes special styles for printing, so you'll get printed copies that are just as easy to read as the original.

Our gems are cut in the size and dimensions as we state. One-carat gem will always be one-carat gem.
Proper symmetry and proportions directly result in a more visually appealing gem.
The surface of every facet is clear and crisp leaving you with only a mirror like finish and sharp edges.
The position and shape of the facets are consistent around the gem showing off our immense attention to detail.
Well-cut gems have ideal proportions to optimize brilliance and sparkle. Our gems are not cut maximize rough yield.
Follow the gem as it transforms
Gem material mined from the earth. Rough is uncut un-shaped natural gemstones or crystals, usually without excess rock and ore.
2. Preform
The basic shape of the gem. Creating preform is a process done by sawing or using coarse abrasives to grind the gem into a workable shape.
3. Shaped
The gem in a more refined shape. Cutters prepare the gem for faceting by attaching it to a dop stick with wax. The gem is then shaped with a higher abrasive.
The gem with the basic faceting pattern. The facets are defined, but not perfect. There is extra material on the gem so cutters can polish it with precision.
5. Polished
A finished gem. Cutters use a higher abrasive to slowly smooth the surface. All facets are polished with the edges meeting to form proper corners.
How we cut our gems
1. Sorting
A specialist will divide rough into groups based on its shape, size, and inclusions. He determines what cuts the rough will become to maximize yield.
2. Sawing
Not every section of the rough is usable. Cutters will remove large portions of rough that have inclusions or color zoning with pliers or a circular saw.
3. Shaping
The cutter forms the basic profile of the gem by pressing the rough against a lap with low grade abrasive to gently grind the gem into shape.
4. Dopping
Preforms are attached to a brass dop stick with hot wax so that cutters can facet and polish the gem with greater accuracy and control.
5. Faceting
Cutters form the facets one at a time by securing the end of the dop in the tang and pressing the gem gently against the lap.
6. Polishing
After the crown and pavilion are faceted, cutters go back and use a high grit diamond abrasive to polish every facet.
7. Finished
Cutters complete the gem by polishing the girdle and giving it either one continuous surface or multiple facets.

We inspect every gem at least 7 times
Even though we acquire quality rough, inspectors still examine the material before we invest our time in cutting a gem.
Inspectors examine each piece of preform to check the shape and ensure there is enough material to facet the gem.
Another inspector measures the dimensions of preforms to maintain our strict size standards.
After faceting, inspectors note the symmetry and proportions of the facets. They reject any gems outside our tolerance.
5. Polishing
Inspectors examine all surfaces for polish marks or chips. Any imperfections are sent back to the lapidaries and corrected.
6. Foreman
The workshop supervisor inspects each gem after faceting and polishing. Gems cannot continue without his approval.
Two separate inspectors examine each gem for brilliance and clarity as the final step in our quality control.
Fun and vibrant, pink tourmaline is the perfect gem to show off your personality. The light pink hues compliment both your outfits and the your setting.

Guided Reading | Libraries
Matching Students and Texts for the Development of Fluent Readers
The guided reading instructional strategy provides opportunities to teach small groups of students with similar needs to talk, read, and think purposefully about text. Effective programs use assessment data to identify each students starting point for instruction. Teachers play a critical role both in selecting appropriate texts and in teaching, observing, and supporting students as they use strategies modeled in shared reading to read a text independently. Mondo offers leveled-text libraries with fiction and nonfiction books in a range of text types, such as fantasy, historical fiction, folktale, procedural, and persuasive text, explanation, and more, to enable teaching at each students precise instructional level.

|Moral :
|So, as far as anybody knows at the start of this episode, the Enterprise's warp core has been sabotaged and is disabled. This means the ship lacks warp drive, and possibly that it lacks other high energy systems like shields and weapons (the show seems to go back and forth on whether the warp core powers these things or not). So Starfleet's response is to send the USS Cochrane, an Oberth-class ship, to deliver Admiral Satie to conduct an investigation. After dropping her off, the Cochrane leaves. So... why didn't it stick around to defend the Enterprise? They suspect sabotage, surely they must suspect that the sabotage was intended to leave the ship crippled so that it could be attacked! Of course an Oberth isn't much of a platform to defend anything, but that raises the question of why wasn't something like an Excelsior or even a Nebula around to help? A Nebula could defend against most threats, even tow the Enterprise back to a Starbase for repairs, yes? One of Starfleet's most valuable asssets is crippled, and they are leaving it to just sit there!
Admiral Satie's court reporter dutifully records all the answers people give in the hearings. Strangely, she doesn't bother to write down any of the actual questions!
In TOS, we several times saw people questioned in official hearings whilst being monitored by the computer. The computer, we were told, could act as a lie detector so accurate that it could tell a lie even if you believed that what you were saying was true! How come this device is not used in this episode? Even if we assume that the defendant would have the option to decline so as to avoid self-incrimination - something they apparently could not do in TOS - surely Simon Tarses would jump at the chance to prove he was not in fact a traitor once and for all?

|Factoid :
|This episode is a "bottle show", one in which all action takes place aboard the Enterprise. Bottles shows are commonly used as a way of saving money since nothing needs to be spent constructing new sets, a major outlay for a TV show. The episode came in a quarter of a million dollars under budget.
This episode references the battle of Wolf 359, stating that 39 of the 40 ships there were destroyed. It also gives us a casualty figure for the first time; 11,000 people were lost in the battle.
This episode is one of Michael Dorn's favourites.
My problem is that things go a bit too conveniently wrong. Satie simply does what she wants, seemingly regardless of law or procedure. Picard acts as if all prior law and precedent will simply be thrown away just like that, and indeed that's what seems to be happening until he gets an Admiral to call a halt to the whole deal towards the end. It's all a little heavy handed.
For me, the most interesting aspect of the episode is one that is brushed over. At one point Admiral Satie accuses Simon Tarses on the basis of a Betazoid's reading of his mind whilst he was questioned. Picard speaks in his defence, saying that he is not comfortable restricting the man's movements simply on the basis of what he calls "Betazoid intuition". They do argue the point somewhat, but they gloss over what is to me the real issue.
It's summed up in the term "Betazoid intuition". This is the first and only episode in which betazoid telepathic/empathic powers are referred to in this fashion. Betazoids don't have "intuition" about other's feelings and emotions. They have KNOWLEDGE. The use of the term intuition makes it sound like Sabin is making some vague guess about what Tarses is thinking. By all that has gone before and all that follows in TNG, Sabin should know perfectly well that he is lying.
By doing what it does, the episode makes the issue "should we treat a man as guilty just because he seems so?" This is indeed the major theme of the episode; the hearings are all about who can be made to look guilty. The episode is making a point about the importance of the presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt. But there's a bigger issue here; what happens when you can indeed prove a person guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, but in doing so you violate their right to privacy?
Assume that Sabin is 100% accurate, as Betazoids seem to be. Think of what is actually happening here with Crewman Tarses. An apparent crime has occurred. The government has sent an investigator in to conduct blanket mind scans of everybody who was in the region at the time. On the government operative's say-so, one of the suspects is then found to be guilty. That violates quite a few civil rights and any real notion of due process. It raises huge, huge questions about how the justice system would function in a world where one's mind can be read easily by another.
The episode doesn't go into this ground, which is a shame in my view because it's fertile territory. Just look at what Babylon 5 did with this area! But Trek, perhaps surprisingly, has never really explored the issue. In Trek the good guys will quite happily use telepathy to plunder the minds of anybody they need to whenever it will give them the slightest advantage. Picard for one routinely has Troi pry into the mind of anybody he feels like. Kirk had Spock do much the same repeatedly, most notably to Valeris in Star Trek VI. The very concept of a right to privacy over ones own thoughts simply doesn't seem to exist in Trek. It's a shame that this issue has never been explored.
Whilst The Drumhead does largely skip the telepathy aspect of the story, it does make valid points. Indeed at the time one might have said it was simply stating the obvious, but in the years since then we have come to live in a world where the US locks people up on foreign soil... denying them the rights due to either a civilian criminal or a military prisoner. In some cases they are tortured, either directly by the US or shipped off to places who will do it for them. Today the message of the Drumhead seems more applicable than ever.

A key ingredient to entrepreneurial success is a supportive ecosystem. The role of an ecosystem builder is to recognize the struggle, hustle and courage entrepreneurs exhibit day after day.

Arnobio Morelix, senior research analyst at the Kauffman Foundation, discusses the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship.
When Victor Hwang, vice president of Entrepreneurship, came to the Kauffman Foundation, it became very clear to him that there was a renewal happening in the heartland.It's important to witness this grassroots resurgence first hand. We need to listen to the entrepreneurs who are making things happen in their communities. We want to hear their stories of how they are fighting day after day to build great businesses in the new economy and what barriers stand in their way. And we want to find out how a community can foster and support the entrepreneurial spirit.
At the recent 2017 Annual State of Entrepreneurship Address, the Kauffman Foundation issued a challenge, to policymakers, entrepreneurs and their supporters alike, to join the Zero Barriers movement to help clear the path for the makers, the doers, the dreamers. The post-Recession rebound is not reversing a long-term decline in startups; we are calling on everyone who fights for entrepreneurs to join us in breaking down barriers to rev up the startup rate. See what happens when more than 150 policymakers, entrepreneurs and thought leaders work together to solve challenges facing startups today.

Sitting across a table from me in a Boston hotel�s small conference room, where we�re both drinking coffee, Zach Braff seems a little nervous. His dark blue eyes are a little dazed; his smile starts to turn slightly downward. He�s got a bit of a frightened deer look. He�s here to talk about his new film, �Wish I Was Here,� which he directed, co-wrote with his brother Adam, and stars in. The apparent unease seems to have come from my first question � not a good way to start an interview. I�d just asked why he�s again written about and is playing a struggling actor, just like he did in the only other feature he�s made, the decade-old �Garden State.� But before anxiety could set in, and before he answered, I added, to his relief, that it was interesting to see another, more mature version of a similar character.
�I�m writing what I know,� he explained, sitting back, relaxing. �I once again made him a struggling actor because I like writing what I know. I could have made him a struggling anything. Most people in the world are not struggling actors, but they are going after a dream � whatever kind of dream it is. So I thought it could be a nice metaphor for how long are you allowed to go after these dreams.�
Q: Is it fair to call this a film about keeping a family together?
A: Oh, yes. Whereas �Garden State� was about the discovery of one�s first romantic true love, and how in a way he was rescued by those feelings being ignited in him for the first time, I think this one is about familial love, and about realizing that, when all is said and done, what else matters other than the love that you shared with your family and the people close to you.
Q: You wrote �Garden State� by yourself, but collaborated with your brother on this one. How did that work?
A: When I write alone, I will very often start having a dialogue [by myself] with the two characters. I think a benefit of being an actor-writer is you can improv the scene with yourself. My brother and I hammered out an outline together, and then we attacked it separately. He lives in Honolulu and I live in L.A. He would work on a section, I�d work on a section, we�d email it to each other, and then we�d give each other notes. And little by little it started to take shape. We finished the script about a year and a half ago.
Q: And then you went the Kickstarter route. Was that your plan from the beginning?
A: No. I�ve been trying to make a movie for 10 years, but I kept running into obstacles, like financing. I was tired of banging my head against the wall. There are so many ridiculous hurdles, it�s amazing that any film gets made. When I finally was getting close, and we had a script that I felt super passionately about ... I think I went into it with a little bit of ego. You know, like, �Well, I�m writing another small, personal movie in the tone of �Garden State.� Everyone�s gonna want to finance this.� Of course there was interest, but it was interest with all these caveats � no final cut, shooting in Vancouver for L.A. � and I was thinking, �Why would I make a film like THAT?� �Garden State� worked because no one was meddling with it. In that case I had a sugar daddy, Gary Gilbert, who financed the whole thing. When the idea of crowd funding came up this time I was kind of against it. I didn�t think it would work, but I figured, what have I got to lose? Everyone said it wouldn�t work, from talking heads on the Internet to people in my life. But we had a month to do it, and when it worked in 48 hours, everyone�s jaw was on the floor. We combined the Kickstarter money [about $3 million], which reduces substantially after you pay off fees and consider all the filming costs, with some of my own money, and we presold some foreign rights. That brought us to a budget of five and a half million dollars. We made the film, got into Sundance, and we were picked up by Focus Features for North America.
Q: Did you learn any specific lessons on �Garden State� that you put into practice this time?
A: The lesson I learned is get as much as you can. We shot this in only 26 days. �Garden State� was 25 days, so I had an extra day (laughs). But if you have only 25 or 26 days, it�s a scavenger hunt. Go out and get, get, get, collect, collect, everything you possibly can. Then you can exhale and go sit in an editing room, with a cup of coffee, and find your movie. The initial assembly of this film was two hours and 40 minutes. But you want that. You want a giant slab of clay so you can begin to chip away.

- Care Guide
Look after your fabric
Lavish a little love on your favourite things
It only takes a little extra care to make sure your Johnstons of Elgin cashmere keeps its trademark softness for many, many years to come.
Wearing your cashmere for the first time
When you first wear your new garment you may find small balls of fibre or 'pills' forming on the surface. These are not a fault or indication of inferior quality but are simply loose fibres tangling together where the garment has been rubbing. They can easily be removed by hand or with our cashmere de-pilling comb. Once removed, your garment will actually consolidate and become softer. You can browse our full collection of care products here.
Handwashing and dry-cleaning
Cashmere knitwear can be hand washed or dry-cleaned. We recommend hand washing your knitwear following these simple guidelines and dry cleaning woven items such as scarves or blankets.
Hand wash in lukewarm water (35°C) using Johnstons Cashmere Shampoo. Gently squeeze the suds through the fabric, taking care not to rub the garment too much as this may cause shrinkage and increase pilling. Rinse the garment in cool clean water, squeezing gently without twisting or wringing. A short light spin in a spin dryer will help remove most of the water.
Smooth the garment back into shape, gently coaxing any facings or trims back to the correct size, and dry naturally away from direct heat such as radiators and sunlight. Ideally the garment should be dried flat on a clean towel. When dry, press lightly with a cool iron.
Under no circumstances should the garment be tumble-dried.
Following these instructions, your garment will preserve its shape and luxurious touch for many years - the hallmarks of the very best cashmere.
