|SRM-05: A Dark and Stormy Night
It was a dark and stormy night - traveling near Glow City in the Redmond Barrens during a hail storm is
not your idea of a good time, especially when things go bump in the night!

SRM-05: Dark and Stormy Night - "It was a dark and stormy
Introductory fiction by Rich Osterhout
...the chill of the night air could be felt even down here on Level Four, even though the lab was completely sealed and the facility had its own air circulation system. Maybe it had something to do with the room's inhabitants. Kat almost jumped off her stool as her cell phone began vibrating. As one of the leading mages working here in the depths of the latest research lab of Ares Arms, she was not supposed to have her cell phone on her - a security violation that could get her dismissed from the project. As an independent consultant for Ares, she was awarded some degree of latitude, but security was something that could not be dismissed, especially here, especially now. But she knew that Stella worried about her, and would often call to check up on her - like she really needed checking up on.
It's just that Stella couldn't understand why Kat couldn't talk about her job; she just didn't grasp the concept of classified projects and why people needed to hide things. That's a Dog shaman for you, always trying to be one big happy family. As a follower of the hermetic tradition, I cared only about one thing - money; and Ares was offering plenty of it. Classified jobs paid even mo re, and this one was just through the roof, and with good reason.
The large insectoid form now on the table in front of her looked just like a 2 meter tall carpenter ant. Its large black mandibles shone under the harsh fluorescent lighting of the lab. Kat was not in the least bit worried - the abomination was strapped securely to the table with Kevlar woven straps, and it had been stunned senseless by her mana based magics. And the wards - a quick glance to the left revealed the glowing cartouche that indicated that the ward was holding and strong.
Her attention was once more drawn back to the vibrating cell phone. She turned and addressed the two scientists in the lab with her, "I need to prepare a further binding ritual on the subject to ensure its complacency during the testing. Why don't you two go and get a cup of coffee or something before we begin the testing." It seemed like a good enough excuse for the two mundanes to leave the lab and the insectoid form on the table behind them. They quickly left Kat alone in the lab.
"Stella, I thought I told you to call me only in an emergency! You don't realize how much trouble I could get into by talking to you right now!"
Stella's voice sounded frantic across the wireless gap between them; "But I was worried! It's been nearly 14 hours since you left the house! You've never been gone this long before without calling!"
Kat's calm voice reassured the shaman; "I told you I would be working late today. We're on the verge of some important experiments, and I'm very busy. Stella, I promise I'll call you as soon as I'm done and ready to come home."
The scrape of chitin on metal raised the hackles on Kat's neck as she turned back around to the subject on the table. The large ant-like creature had awoken and was straining at its bonds.
"Stella, I'll have to call you back!" she hoarsely called into the phone and dropped it on the counter, not thinking to push the disconnect button.
The ancient tongue came difficult to Kat, but she continued her chant, building the astral energies and preparing to release them into the creature.
An unholy screech sounded from the insect as it focused all its power into the formidable limbs, cutting through the tough Kevlar that held it down. Another screech to celebrate its progress, and it began the fight for freedom.
Kat began to release her spell, but was distracted at the last moment as the two scientists rushed through the door of the lab, intent on discovering the source of the alien noises they had heard. They stood frozen in the door at the sight before them - the ant-creature sitting upright on the table, its mandibles and forelimbs working on cutting its remaining bonds. Kat stood off to the side, and spun at the entrance of the scientists, releasing her spell energies prematurely.
"Don't just stand there!" she shouted, "get the sprayers!" But it was all too late - the abomination severed the final bond and broke free, leaping off the table towards the scientists at the door. It grabbed the one on the left, and ripped the scientist's body in half, dropping the legs to the ground as it flung the upper torso towards Kat. She quickly cast another spell, this time a bolt of powerful energy. But her attempt to dodge the bloody upper half of the scientist caused her to miss, and the bolt struck the transom above the door. The insect turned back to Kat and released another shriek as it leapt towards her. Kat screamed one final time as she tried to turn the fury of the insect, noticing almost ironically before being rendered apart that the glyph above the door had flickered and died...
It was a dark and stormy night. The rain was beating a deafening crescendo on the window to her left. Stella sat in horror as she listened to the strange alien shrieks and the frantic yelling of Kat on the other end of the line. What seemed like an eternity took only seconds, and by the time she could respond, only silence greeted her through the ear piece. She had the presence of mind to keep the line open, and went to the telecom to contact a close friend. She had known Manny for many years, and she knew that she could turn to him for help. The fixer picked up on the second ring, and Stella immediately started crying into his waiting ear. "Manny its Stella I don't know what's happened but something terrible has happened to my friend Kat I just know it I just know it I was talking to her and then I heard some screams and something awful oh just awful that I've never heard before oh I don't even know if she's still alive oh Manny you've got to help me you've got to help her!"
"Whoa, calm down Stella, calm down. OK, Manny is here to help, where is Kat now?" the fixer calmly asked, hoping to calm down the frantic woman.
"I don't know she just wouldn't tell me I've asked her a lot but she just says she can't tell me it's classified and oh I don't know but I was on the phone with her and I dropped the phone and kept the line open..." the shaman responded.
Manny used his many years of experience to quickly assess the situation and responded "Don't worry Stella, I'm contacting an associate of mine right now and feeding him your cell phone number. Don't worry, this guy is good, and he'll be able to lock down a position if the phone is still open and has a strong enough signal." His fingers flew across his telecom unit as he dialed up one of his star deckers and put him in another window on the screen. The data flew across the bottom of the window as he relayed Stella's cell phone number and the request for tracking it down ASAP. A few moments later, and Manny had his answer - he knew he could depend on this console cowboy. "OK Stella, you can hang up the cell phone now, we've got it...you should hang it up so that nothing can track back to you. Let me handle things now and you try to get some rest."
The shaman visibly calmed as she responded, "Thanks Manny, I knew I could count on you - I'll pay whatever it takes - just get Kat back to me..." Manny immediately began scanning for who was available and ready to take on a quick rescue mission into the heart of the Redmond Barrens and The Glow...
It was a dark and stormy night. But here, in this underground facility of Ares Arms' research division, the sound of their footsteps on the tile floor was the only thing anyone could hear. Sergeant Colby had only another 20 minutes to go before the end of his shift. Both he and Corporal Rachovsky had been tasked with making the security rounds on Level Four - where the main labs were. Everyone had their own ideas of what was going on down there. As security guards, they were only cleared for patrolling the hallway and not allowed in the labs themselves unless an alarm was triggered. That was fine with Colby. Talk of everything from mutants exposed to The Glow to space aliens recovered from the crashed suborbital to even stranger tales of things that go bump in the night...
He pushed the button to call for the elevator, and alarms above his head sounded their claxon roar. "What the hell is going on?" he asked Rachovsky. The corporal could only shrug as the elevator opened before them. They waited for a second as the speaker system activated; "Attention all hands, Attention all hands, This is NOT a drill, This is NOT a drill, There has been a breach in Laboratory B, Level Four, Hostile subjects are extremely dangerous, Activate protocol CHARLIE, All security teams report to duty stations and load chemical rounds!" The speaker continued to bark out orders as the two nervously got into the elevator and proceeded to the bottom level of the facility. Colby was not happy! "Why does this drek have to always happen when I'm about ready to get relieved??" Both of them checked their magazines and ensured that the special chemical rounds had been loaded. They had no idea what the chemicals were, but they had been told that it was necessary to use such ammunition rather than standard lead bullets here in the facility. It didn't matter to him, as long as they worked, and they had better work!
The elevator doors opened, and the two Ares Arms guards immediately reacted to the combat scene before them. It was readily apparent who the bad guy was - one of the scientists had just finished firing one of the special spray weapons, little more than a fire extinguisher, at what could only be described as a giant carpenter ant! The black body was covered in white foam, and it let loose with an alien screech that caused the two warriors to respond with screams of their own. The scientist could only stand by helpless with the empty dispenser as the ant swept sideways with a powerful forearm and pinned the human to the wall. The guards opened up their weapons on full automatic mode, emptying their clips in mere seconds. With luck on their side, the insect finally collapsed as green ichor oozed from its mouth. A few moments later, the elevator opened behind them and a squad of guards poured forth, quickly securing the area. Another of the facility mages moved forward and inspected the lab and the surroundings, paying particular attention to the door at the far end of the lab. "Everyone! We need to secure the facility! We'll need to go into lock-down until backup can arrive! Sergeant Colby, you and your partner oversee the lockdown efforts. The rest of you, proceed to the entrance of the facility for further orders. We need to hold the fort for about an hour before the pros get here. And Colby, make sure you reload..."

During digestion, the food we eat is transformed into sugar, which is essential for the cells of the body to function. It is insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the amount of sugar stored or "burned" in the cells.
After passing through the intestinal wall, the sugar is found in the bloodstream, increasing blood sugar. This signal is detected by particular cells of the pancreas, which then secrete insulin. The presence of insulin in the blood is itself perceived by the cells of the liver, muscles and fatty tissues, which in response start consuming the glucose or storing it for later use. Hence a return to normal blood sugar level.

Over the past few years, most technologies like Artificial intelligence, Internet of things (IoT) are rising globally. Similar to these technologies, blockchain technology is becoming more popular and it has been incorporated into various industries. All the digital information can be stored securely in the blockchain. As all the blocks are connected in the blockchain, no data can be hacked and altered. Analogous to digital information, all virtual currencies are referred to as cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies work on blockchain technology. Crypto coins are developed under a self-reliant blockchain. It is considered the native currency of the blockchain.
Crypto tokens are created under the token standards of the existing blockchain. For instance, ERC20 tokens are created under the ERC20 standard of Ethereum blockchain. There are various crypto tokens available in the crypto marketplace. Crypto tokens are generally divided into utility tokens and security tokens. Utility tokens are service-based tokens that provide the user access to the products. Utility tokens are used for crowdfunding. Now, a doubt may arise in your mind regarding the creation of a security token. The name itself explains that they are secured.
In this article, we'll discuss the security tokens and creation process in detail.
Come, let us begin with…
What is a Security Token?
Security Tokens are the unique virtual assets that are ruling this digital world. These security tokens are considered to be completely secure since they pass the Howey test. Also, they are built in compliance with the country's regulations. Security Tokens usually derive value from real-time assets. There are some real-time assets backed in security tokens, such as real estate, bonds, or any other real-time assets. Recently, these security tokens have earned the trust of potential investors in various projects.
Security tokens are entirely used in STO's. If you are new to, this you will have a question: what is an STO?. A Security Token Offerings is an alternate crowdfunding mechanism of ICO. Here entrepreneurs, startups, or business people sell their newly released tokens against tangible assets. This crowdfunding model acts as a secure investment channel. Also, it protects investors' funds from scams and cyber attacks. For the creation of security tokens, the local country's regulations and SEC guidelines should be followed.
Depending on the country, the regulations and conditions may vary. In the United States, they have Regulation A+, Regulation D, and Regulation S as the jurisdictions. Likewise, most crypto-friendly countries will have their own set of rules and regulations. Moreover, it is essential to know the various types of security tokens that are available in the crypto industry. Currently, there are three significant security token types in the crypto marketplace. They are
- Debt token
- Equity token
- Asset token
Now, let us discuss these types in detail.
Debt Token
Debt tokens represent real-estate and corporate bonds. These tokens are for interest-augmenting. It is similar to short-term loans with an interest rate equivalent to the amount lent to the company. Smart contracts that represent debt tokens should include repayment terms that indicate the dividend model and risky factors of that underlying debt.
Benefits Of Debt Token
- Fractionalization
- Larger market size
- Dividends
Equity Token
Equity tokens are created by backing valuable shares of the company. For an equity token, ownership is recorded in the blockchain. Owning equity tokens will provide the investors with a part of the company's profit and rights to vote.
Benefits Of Equity Tokens
- These tokens are a hugely preferred security token in the crypto industry.
- Most proven security token.
Asset Token
These tokens represent the ownership of real-time assets like commodities, gold, artworks, etc. The equivalent value of asset-backed will be converted into security tokens and they are used for various purposes. Here, blockchain enables you to track your asset's values transparently.
Benefits Of Asset tokens
- Interchangeable
- Divisible
- Highly transparent
How to Create Your Own Security Token?
Security tokens are created under the Ethereum token standard named ERC1400. The ERC1400 standard is the combination of ERC20 and ERC777 standards. You should follow all the regulations of the local government and SEC guidelines. All the features of security tokens, assets backed and technical features should be incorporated in the smart contract.
Polymath token studio is a security-token generating tool where security tokens are created by following the algorithms of the ERC1400 standard. Using polymath, tokens can be easily created and issued. In another case, you can stake some of the POLY tokens in the Polymath blockchain, and to store your tokens, you should connect your token address to the Metamask wallet.
Steps to be followed in Polymath Token studio
As discussed above, security tokens can be created in the polymath token studio. Generally, Security token creation occurs in the following stages. The first stage is creating a smart contract in the Ethereum blockchain. Then, using that smart contract address, create a security token using Polymath token studio.
Here, I'll list the steps to follow in Polymath token studio for creating security tokens. They are,
- First, sign in to your Metamask wallet and you should hold some poly tokens.
- A user-ID (Ethereum token address) should be linked with Polymath.
- You should reserve your new and unique token symbol to create your token name.
- Check your token symbol with Etherscan for preventing duplication.
- In Polymath, certain service providers will be listed. Choose any one of them for creating your security token.
Then, the last step is creating a security token. While creating a security token, you should include,
- Your token's name.
- Divisible or indivisible( Here, you should decide whether the assets values can be fractioned or not).
- Additional token information like a token burn, website, etc.
- Investors can be limited ( Number of investors should be limited according to the countries. For instance, In US regulatory compliance, there is a limit for equity token investors. Only up to 2000 investors are allowed for token creation).
By following these steps, you can successfully create your own security tokens and they can be utilized for crowdfunding.
Launch Your Own STO Platform
The newly created security tokens will be used for crowdfunding. The method of fundraising using security tokens is known as security token offering(STO). You should have your own STO website for launching an STO. STO platform can be launched in two ways, one is developing from scratch. If an STO website is created from scratch, then it will be started from the initial stage and it will cost more. The other best method of launching an STO platform is through an STO script.
STO script is a readymade script that has already incorporated all technical features within it. An STO website can be immediately launched using an STO script. You can add some additional features based on your business requirements. You can easily buy your STO script from a reputed security token service provider.
Market STO To Your Global Investors
This is the final step before taking your STO to all crypto investors. For marketing your STO platform, you should have a landing page and a social media account to reach as many people as possible. Many marketing strategies like content marketing and social media marketing can be followed. Then, you must consider the Security token exchange you're going to list. Because it determines the reach and rate of success of your security tokens.

15 months, Rs 40 lakh illegal earning, just Rs 1.5 lakh fine
It seems that parking contractor outside Elante mall in the Industrial Area does not fear law and continues to fleece visitors by overcharging.
It seems that parking contractor outside Elante mall in the Industrial Area does not fear law and continues to fleece visitors by overcharging.
With municipal corporation (MC) imposing a fine of Rs 21,000 on Thursday for overcharging, the contractor in the past 15 months have ended up paying Rs 1.5 lakh as fine, while he has already earned nearly Rs 40 lakh illegally (overcharging) in past 15 months.
On the other hand, MC officials feel helpless. They say, his contract cannot be cancelled as there is no such clause in the contract, but question arises that why he was given extension in November last year, when there were numerous complaints against him.
It was in November 2013 when he was allotted the contract at the rate of Rs 51 lakh for a period of one year, but he again got extension in November 2014 for another year. Every day around 600 four-wheelers and equal number of two-wheelers are parked in this parking lot.
Every month he earns Rs 1.8 lakh from four-wheelers and Rs 90,000 from two-wheelers, which means he has earned Rs 27 lakh from four-wheelers and Rs 13 lakh from two-wheelers in the past 15 months illegally (overcharging).
In the past two months, a fine of Rs 60,000 has been imposed on him for overcharging. The contractor was found charging Rs 20 for each entry of a car against the mandated charge of Rs 10 and Rs 10 for two-wheelers against Rs 5. It is learnt that the contractor had been overcharging for the past 15 months.
One of the attendants of the parking lot said, "We are used to 'fines' now and it hardly makes any difference. We have instructions from contractor to charge Rs 20 for four-wheelers and Rs 10 for two-wheelers. Visitors do not even question us on overcharging," he said.
Speaking to HT, additional commissioner Sarita Malik said, "We cannot cancel his contract as there is no such clause. We can only impose fine, which we are doing regularly. We even conduct checking whenever we get complaints."
In the finance and contract committee (F&CC) meeting held in August last year, it was decided that if the contractor was caught overcharging for the seventh time, he will pay Rs 10,000 as fine.
For the first overcharging complaint, the fine is Rs 500 and Rs 1,000, Rs 1,500, Rs 2,500, Rs 5,000 and Rs 7,500 for the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth complaints, respectively. But the panel failed to include the clause of cancellation of the contract.
"It is becoming a serious issue and in the next meeting, we will ensure that the cancellation clause should be included in the contract. We will not tolerate inconvenience to the public," said member of the F&CC Surinder Bahga for 2015. Even after repeated attempts, parking contractor Lal Chand could be not contacted.

Head to Headless Report
Visual headless: 1,000 CMS users share their thoughts on the next level of content management and digital experience design.
Magnolia gives your developers the freedom to work with any front-end framework and your marketers the visual control to create great digital experiences at scale.
Serve platform-agnostic content from a single repository
Create APIs easily using YAML
Design experiences visually using a WYSIWYG editor
Magnolia's architecture allows for headless content management. Acting as a single content repository, Magnolia makes content and assets available via its APIs for consumption by various touchpoints.
Decoupling content management from content presentation allows you to create custom front ends for channels including web, mobile, social, and smart speakers using your framework and delivery system of choice while increasing content consistency and re-use.
Through our integrations with your DX stack, our APIs also serve links to content that doesn't live in Magnolia, like images from a digital asset management (DAM) system or products from a product information management (PIM) system.
Besides our GraphQL API, you can use Magnolia's REST APIs to fetch content as JSON. Our low-code development enables you to easily and quickly create and update API endpoints. For example, you can create a new delivery endpoint API with as little as 5 lines of code.
While serving platform-agnostic content to developers, content authors and marketers can manage experiences in single-page applications (SPAs) and progressive web apps (PWAs) through AdminCentral, Magnolia's content management system (CMS) GUI.
Our visual editor integrates with your front-end framework to give business users a great authoring experience in an easy WYSIWYG fashion including a preview of experiences on different devices.
Magnolia's GraphQL API improves how and how quickly data can be accessed. Unlike REST APIs, GraphQL APIs are not organized by endpoints. Instead of configuring an endpoint per data set, a single GraphQL endpoint provides access to all data that the API manages. This allows you to query data without configuring or updating an endpoint every time you change a content type or page template.
GraphQL's standardized format also makes the response more predictable, improving automated delivery and integration.
Many use cases benefit from the flexibility that headless CMSs offer. However, you might not want to be forced to develop a custom front end for each project. If you are building multiple websites or functional areas, such as a marketing website, a customer portal and a careers page, Magnolia allows you to go hybrid. You have the choice to, for example, build one website with React, and another one using Magnolia's page rendering.
Many CMSs carry the label headless, but they are far from the same. Magnolia is different from slim headless CMSs, because it functions in two ways: a headless way and a hybrid headless way. Offering all the benefits of a headless CMS, Magnolia offers REST APIs and GraphQL to consume content. In addition, it incorporates advanced enterprise CMS features that don't hinder developers, but enable marketers.
You're steps away from getting hands-on with Magnolia:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a rock solid commercial grade Linux operating system. If you're interested in learning RHEL from a system admins perspective then this course is for you!
The "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Technical Overview" course walks you through many of the basic system admin tasks and concepts required to administer RHEL effectively.
This course will provide you with insights to:
- Working with the Terminal
- Understanding the Kernel and User Spaces
- Graphical User Interface
- File management and the File System Hierarchy
- Editing Files using Vim
- Organizing Users and Groups
- File Permissions
- Managing Software
- Configuring Networking
- Controlling System Startup Processes
- Introduction to Containers
- Overview of Cockpit
Hey guys! right now, we are going to talk about Networking and networking is handled by a service called network manager and it's quite a cool service.
You can interface with it by using the graphical user interface or more commonly its command line client which is called nmcli. Now, network manager manages your connections using profiles.
To show the profiles that we have, we can make use of the command nmcli con show. Now, something that I really like about using nmcli is that you can tab complete the heck out of it. So, if you don't know how to use it, you can simply say nmcli and then I don't know what comes after that. So, I'm going to hit tab twice and it says well, these are the sub commands.
Now, gave you a bit of a clue. We can make use of the command nmcli con show.
Con is the abbreviated form for connection.
So, let's go find out what connections we have.
So, I'm going to say co tab. Okay! what comes next?
I don't know. Let's going to hit tab again and you can see right now that we have a number of sub commands that are applicable to connections. So, we're going to do a connection show and like I said network manager makes use of profiles.
We have a profile right now called wired connection 1. Our profiles have got a UUID associated with them.
Just be, just in case someone has created a profile with the name that is already in use. So, the UUID will ensure that it's even more so unique because the UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier and what you can see over here is that this is an ethernet based profile and it uses a device that is present in my system called enp1s0. So, generally when you have a device file, a networking device file that begins with en that is an ethernet based network adapter. So, what are we going to do right now is that we want to reveal the properties even more so detailed properties of that particular profile.
So, how we do that is by saying nmcli connection show and then the name of the profile. If it has spaces, you can tab completed. It would put a backslash in front of every space or what you could do is that you can encapsulate it either using single or double quotes. So, what are you looking at right now, is the output of nmcli con show against a profile and you can see that we have a number of attributes and property combinations on the left hand side, over here on the right hand side, you can see the values associated with those property and attribute combinations. So, things like the connection id, Wired Connection 1.
So I'm going to scroll a little bit further down. I'm going to use the spacebar to page down. You can see that we have the ipv4.method which is set to manual. So, we're configuring tcp/ip in this particular case and using a static configuration. We have ipv4.dns.
You can see the dns server, the dns search order that we are making use of.
And then at the bottom over here, we have the IP addresses themselves as along with the gateways that we are making use of.
So, what I'm going to do right now is that, I'm going to add a brand new connection profile and we can add a brand new connection profile for the network interface that we have. Another way to display the network interfaces would be to make use of the command nmcli and we could say de for device and again type in de hit tab twice and you could see that it would automatically complete to device.
What comes after that? Don't know, hit tab twice and we want to show the devices that we have. So, we're going to say nmcli device show. So, right, at the top over here we have a device, enp1s0 that we are going to be using right now.
So, the command over here guys, I'm going to say nmcli con and we're going to add a brand new connection profile. So, con add.
So, what comes afterwards? Don't know.
Hit tab twice. Let's go and find out. So, we could go and say a number of these things like, right now, like the connection name. So, we're going to say con-name.
We're going to give the connection name static-connection and now we're going to go along and specify some additional properties. So, guys, I'm going to quickly clear my screen and just to show you that we can continue to tab complete this, obviously a tab twice and you can see all the other properties.
So, at the very least what I need to do is specify things like the connection type, this is an ethernet based connection. Now, if you didn't know that you could say type and then hit tab twice and you can see the different options over here. So, this is going to be an ethernet based connection. Okay, what else?
I'm going to tell it to use an interface and I'm going to say ifname and the interface that we are going to use is enp1s0. Now, at this stage, I could go and specify some additional properties but I'm not going to do that I'm just going to hit enter right now. So, what you can see is that, I do indeed have a new connection that has been added. It's called static-connection. That is the profile and just looking at the output of nmcli con show, you can see that one is sort of colorized in green the other one is not. The one that is colorized in green, is the currently activated profile and if you only wanted to display active profiles, you could say --active like that. Now I've got two profiles.
They are both wanting to make use of the same device and well that wouldn't be possible. Right, I mean two profiles using the same device. So, only one profile can be activated at a time in this particular case and the one that is activated right now is wired connection 1. If you needed to do something like change the properties of a profile, what you could do is, say nmcli con mod to modify other properties. So, what are we all going to modify right now would be a static connection. Now, what about static connection are we going to modify? Hit tab twice and it says, well, they are two hundred and twenty nine possibilities. Do you want to display them all? And that's probably a bad idea.
So, at the very least guys, what I'm going to do is, change properties like; how about an ip address? So, I'm going to say nmcli con mod. We're going to modify a property ipv4 and an attribute called addresses and the value that I'm going to give it, is 10.0.0.0/24 bit subnet mask.
So, let's going to hit enter over there. So, that property change has been influenced right now. Let's going to add a gateway. So, the command is nmcli con mod and we're going to do it for a static connection ipv4.gateway and now we're going to set the gateway to be 10.0.0.254 and if I wanted to go along and set up a DNS server, I could do so easily by saying nmcli con mod and then the name of the profile, then the attributes and property combination. So, in this case it's ipv4.dns and I'm going to use my gateway as my dns server. Done, that easy.
So, let's going to show the results of that.
So, the command right now is going to be nmcli con show and then the name of profile and I'm just going to call out some of the changes that we had made. So, first of all this is making use of an interface called enp1s0. It is set to automatically be initialized whenever network manager starts up. Let's go any page down. The ipv4 method over here set to auto. We're going to change that very shortly to manual. You can see the DNS server that we are making use of is 10.0.0.254.
Scrolling a little bit further down, you can see that we have ipv4 addresses. That's the IP address that we had set along with a gateway right now.
So, one thing that we haven't done is activated this profile. So, if you have a look at again at the output of nmcli con show, you'll see that static connection is not the active profile. Now, I could easily go and do that right now.
I could go and bring it up by saying nmcli con up and in the name of the profile.
However, that would disconnect me from the server because I am SSHed into server.
So, instead what I'm going to do is that I'm going to show, you how that command would work against the profile that is currently running. So, what I'm now going to do is use nmcli con and we're going to delete a profile.
So, again tab completed and we're going to delete static profile or the static-connection and what I'm going to do instead right now, is that the IP address that I'd previously allocated, that I'd said to be used for that profile. I'm going to give it to the current profile.
So, right now I'm going to say nmcli con mod. We're going to modify wired connection 1. What we are going to modify about it, is ipv4.addresses and we're going to set the additional IP address to 10.0.0.1/24 bit subnet mask. Now, should I hit enter at this stage? I'm going to be over writing the current IP address. So, instead of what I'm going to do to add an IP address, I'm going to say + and then the property and attribute combination along with the with the value. And there we go. So, now if you have a look at the output of nmcli con show against wired connection, you will see that there are two values for an IP address. You can see over here that ipv4 addresses and you can see we have a comma-separated list over here and we have two addresses right now. 172.25.250.10 and 10.0.0.1 both with 24 bit subnet masks. So, let's go do that one more time.
For ipv4.dns, we want to set multiple dns servers. So, look at the dns server that is currently set. it's 172.25.250.254.
So, what I'm now going to do is say nmcli con mod. We're going to modify wired connection1 and we're going to change ipv4.dns and are we going to use 22.214.171.124.
So, let's going to hit enter right now. Now, at this stage guys, what I've done is that, I've overridden the current dns configuration.
So, if you have a look at the output of nmcli con show, and we go down to your ipv4.dns, you can see that I no longer have the 172 IP address. So, let's go and put that back. So, what I should have done in that case is that I should have said +ipv4.dns and then specify the dns servers that I want to make use of.
So, at this stage I'm going to go and add 172.25.250.254 to the current list and there we go.
That should do it and if you have to look at the properties associated with that profile, you can see right now that we have 184.108.40.206 and 172.25.250.254.
Now, like I said the changes that I'd made are not yet put into place and if you have a look at the output of the command ip, a for address, s for show, and we're going to show the ip address that is currently associated with the interface that we have. So, it's enp1s0.
You can see that if we only have one ip address. We don't have the 10.0.0.1 ip address. Because again, we haven't sort of re-up that profile. Similarly, if you go and look at where our dns server settings are stored, it's inside of a file called /etc/resolv.conf. It's got no sort of record of 220.127.116.11 being used in that case.
So, what we are now going to do is run nmcli con up for wired connection. So, we're going to re-up the profile. We're going to put into play the changes that we had made. So, let's going to have a look at the ip addresses that are associated with the interface and you can see that now, we have the 10.0.0.1 ip address. Similarly, you should find that /etc/resolv.conf has been changed. So, now we have more than one dns server. In fact, we have 18.104.22.168 as the first dns server that is being utilized over here.
So guys, that is a very basic overview of what network manager is and how it works and how we can interface with it. It's easy to use and one of my favorite features is the tab completion that is supported.

The very first thing you can do is start making a journal where you can maintain your daily work routine including alcohol consumption. You can start by deducting the amount of alcohol consumed per day. Once you start following it, try to reduce the amount after every short interval until it reaches a point where you find no difficulties in refusing to drink at all. This is a slow n steady process how to treat alcohol abuse which will definitely work if followed properly.
Make Yourself Busy with Other Stuff
Once you set your priorities, it becomes easy. Try to involve yourself with work or other household work so that it can create a constant distraction for you.

Tarot Tip
You may find yourself a perpetual student of learning card
meanings. What do the cards mean, where did these meanings
come from, and why?
To begin, you have to look at tarot's history to find the
source of card meanings, both exoteric and esoteric
meanings. We have only slivers of evidence of tarot's
historical origin, however much has been brought to light by
research. We know that tarot was mostly used for divinatory
purposes during in the 18th century. A major figure in that
history who became famous for legitimizing tarot card
reading as a profession was Etteilla/Alliette.
Researchers credit Jean-Baptiste Alliette (1738 – 1791),
also known as Etteilla, as a source of the basic cartomantic
meanings of the tarot cards that we have inherited in modern
tarot divination. Etteilla began studying the practices of
the fortune-tellers of France in his early teen years. His
later published writings on common cartomancy, which author
Ronald Decker tells us in his The Esoteric Tarot: Ancient
Sources Rediscovered in Hermeticism and Cabala (Quest
Books, 2013) was the basis for Ettelia's influence on
tarot cartomancy worldwide. He is best known for The
Book of Thoth Tarot and The Petit Etteilla deck.
The general meanings that emerged for the suits in
Etteilla's tradition are as follows:
Swords/Spades: Spiritual ideals and Matters of the Heart
Cups/Hearts: Prospects and Power
Wands/Clubs: Money and Possessions or Goods
Pentacles/Diamonds: Relationships/Partnerships
Some modern suit associations are:
Swords/Spades: Challenges, Struggles, Intellectual Pursuits
Cups/Hearts: Inner Knowing, Wants, Desires, Moods
Wands/Clubs: Ambition, Growth, Progression, Spiritual Matters
Pentacles/Diamonds: Manifestations, Values, Property and Wealth
Suit associations and attributions are complex, and several
modern traditions exist besides the ones already mentioned.
The meanings of all the cards and symbols of tarot continue
to evolve.
Tarot School Aphorism
Someone asked me recently why tarot cards are traditionally
kept in silk. Do you happen to have the answer to that?
~ Andrea
Hi Andrea,
Silk is said to be an especially good psychic insulator.
That said, you can store/protect you cards any way you like.
You can wrap your deck in a natural fabric (silk, cotton,
velvet, etc.), keep it in a bag or wooden box — or even in
the original packaging. If you have an altar and wish to
display the cards "au natural," that's fine, too.
How you store your cards mostly depends upon your personal
preferences, and where and how you use them. If you tote
them around with you everywhere you go, a sturdy tarot bag
would be better than the original box or a simple piece of
fabric, for example. (Of course, you can wrap your cards in
fabric and then put them in a tarot bag!)
I keep my personal reading deck in a beautiful hand-tooled
leather case that was made especially for me as a gift. I
wouldn't have naturally gravitated toward leather, but it
was made with love and respect in my favorite colors, with

PsychWise – Tarot & Psychology Q & A
with Elinor Greenberg, PhD, CGP, CPTR
If you missed Part 1, you can read it in the July issue here:
QUESTION: I read for private clients as well as
at psychic fairs and group events like bridal
showers. I am frequently asked to do readings to
answer questions that make me really comfortable,
such as health readings or "yes/no" readings to
questions like: "Is my husband cheating on me?"
or "Will we have a happy marriage?" Do you
have any suggestions on how to handle this?
ANSWER (cont.):
• Romantic Yes/No Questions
I like to use Wald and Ruth Ann's "Chalice Spread"
when a querent asks about what a boyfriend actually plans
to do or asks a "Does he love me?" type of question. I have
found "The Chalice Spread" to be very reliable for
romantic readings, so I will outline it below for you.
1) Have your querent shuffle, cut the deck, and hand you
5 cards without looking at them. You can use whatever
instructions you normally give your querents.
2) Arrange the cards in the spread below. The first 3 cards
are arranged vertically in a cup shape with Card 1 forming
the right tip of the cup. The 4th card is the base the cup
rests on and is placed horizontally. The 5th card is placed
facedown on a slant into the "cup." It stays face-down
throughout the reading. It is an optional card that the
querent can choose to have read or not. I tell the querent
to think of it as a magical wand or swizzle stick that the
querent can choose to turn over if he or she would like a
different energy or outcome in the reading than the first 4
cards show.
Card 1: What does he feel about me?
Card 2: What does he think about me?
Card 3: What will he do now?
Card 4: What is our relationship based on?
Card 5: Optional action I could take
The Situation:
My querent has gone out with a man she really likes three or
four times, but he hasn't called or texted her since their
last date two weeks ago. She is shocked and perplexed by
this because up to now their relationship has been very
positive and romantic. She is concerned that he is
"ghosting" her (disappearing without saying goodbye or
explaining) and she wants some clarity about what might be
going on before she reaches out to him. She asks me to
answer a simple yes/no question: "Have I just been ditched
by this guy?" I suggest that we reframe her question as:
"What do I need to know now about this guy's feelings,
motives and intentions towards me right now?" When she
agreed, I suggested we do a "Chalice Spread." Here are
her cards and what I said:
Card 1: 4 of Cups
Card 2: Q of Cups
Card 3: 9 of Cups
Card 4: 6 of Cups
My Interpretation:
All your cards are in the suit of Cups. This suggests to me
that your boyfriend is a romantic by nature and that your
relationship has likely been intensely romantic and loving.
I can see why you would be perplexed about his sudden
Card 1: (What does he feel about me?) The 4 of Cups
sheds a little light on the matter. It shows him sitting back
with crossed arms and refusing to reach out for the cup of
love that you are offering him. The esoteric name for this
card is "Blended Pleasure," which suggests that he has had
so much love from you and the relationship, that he feels
quite full, and any more would be too much for him to
take in right now.
Card 2: (What does he think about me?) The Queen of Cups
shows one of the most romantic and loving women in the deck,
the Queen of Love herself. Your instincts that he has strong
positive feelings about you are correct. He thinks of you as a
loving, very feminine, and desirable woman.
Card 3: (What will he do?) The 9 of Cups shows another
seated man with crossed arms with nine cups behind him.
This suggests that your boyfriend is feeling very satisfied
with what he has right now and does not want to move forward
at this moment to get the final cup (i.e. a full, committed
Card 4: (The basis of your relationship) The 6 of Cups
shows a boy handing a cup filled with flowers to a girl.
This card is usually associated with past good memories of
loving times.
All of this suggests to me that your boyfriend has been very
satisfied with your relationship, but wants to take a break
right now. He still feels very good about you—you are his
Queen of Cups — but he has put the relationship on pause.
This reading focuses on the present, so it does not give us
any information about whether his withdrawal is temporary or
more permanent. When we look at Card 4 the 6 of Cups that
represents what your relationship is based on, it suggests
that this type of brief, intense romantic relationship
followed by sudden withdrawal may be part of a repeating
pattern: He enjoys the giving and receiving of love and all
the good feelings, but then feels "filled up" and
withdraws without warning.
I would conclude from these cards that your boyfriend is
not ready to move forward right now and is uncomfortable
telling you so directly.
Would you like to turn over the 5th card and put some
different energy into this reading or are you content with
what is going on in the cards so far?"
My querent said that she was relieved that she hadn't
imagined all the romantic and loving feelings between them,
but wanted to see if there was any possibility of moving
things forward despite what might be his tendency to
literally "love them and leave them." I told her that
she had to turn that card over herself, as it was a magickal
act that would add her energy and intention to the reading.
She turned over Card 5 and I read it.
Card 5: Key 18 The Moon
My Interpretation:
First I described the card to the querent: "Key 18 shows
a little purple crayfish crawling out of a pool onto a path.
Ahead of her are a dog on the left side of the path and a
wolf on the right side. There are two towers or edges of
walls in the distance. It is night out and there is a crescent
Moon with a face shown against the Sun in the sky above.
Little flames in the shape of the Hebrew letter Yod are
falling from the Sun."
Then I interpreted it for her. "In general, this card is
about evolution. You are the little crayfish and you have
elected to evolve by turning over this card. Unfortunately,
evolving involves you leaving your nice warm pool to go out
in the world and have adventures that you can learn from.
In everyday terms, the pool is like a warm cup of love that
you have been immersed in. To progress further in your life
and get what you want, this card suggests that you need to
take action, leave this particular cup of love behind you,
and go off on a voyage of discovery and personal growth."
Then I asked the querent what she saw in the card:
"I am struck by the fact that the crayfish's path goes
between the dog and the wolf. I think that they represent
the two sides of my boyfriend or two possibilities about
him. At first he seemed liked the dog: tame, loving, safe,
and loyal. Now I am thinking he may have a hidden wolf
side that is actually selfish and predatory. If he really is
more wolf than dog, I have to be careful because he is
wilder than he seems and could hurt me. If he is the dog,
then he is tamer, not a threat, and more likely to stick
around if I am patient and encouraging.
As this is my path, it seems to me that the ball is in my
court. My next move is to find out his intentions in a way
that feels safe to me. I can't go any further on the path
without dealing with the wolf and the dog. I think I need to
find a nonthreatening way to have a talk with him about what
is going on with us. I will text him and suggest we go for a
walk in the park together. The weather is beautiful and I
don't think that will feel like too much pressure. That
way, we can talk more casually and I can get a sense of
where he is with our relationship. If he does not answer my
text, that is an answer, too! In that case I will probably
call him and force the issue. I don't like ending something
so wonderful with so many unanswered questions."
When someone consults you for a Tarot reading, you are the
acknowledged expert. You are likely to know much more than
your querents about what type of questions work well for
Tarot readings, how long the reading they want is likely to
take, and which topics might be unethical for you to do a
reading about. I am suggesting that you take your expertise
seriously and take charge of helping your querents shape
their questions into ones that you are confident will lead
to a useful Tarot reading from you.
One of my psychotherapy trainers said something to me
that I still find comforting: "Isadore," I asked," one of my
clients wants me to do Core-energetics with them. I don't
know Core-energetic therapy and I am not particularly
interested in learning it. Do you think I should do it anyway?"
"Elinor," Isadore said, "You are a boutique, not a department
store." Isadore's point was that I needed to stay true to who
I am and that I could not possibly offer all that anyone might
want, only what I have to offer…and that was enough.

Best Practices for Professional Readers
By Gina Thies
Quite frequently I come across people using tarot readings
as a way to supplement their income. Some people hope that
it will be a permanent and single way to support them
As a tarot business mentor, I time and again tell fledgling
professional readers to look at their budgets and to
realistically consider a figure in terms of what their
budgeting needs are, and then use it as an earnings goal
for their business.
For example, if you want to totally replace the income from
a current job where you earn $4,000 a month after taxes,
logically it means that you would need to make approximately
$1,300 or more a week from tarot readings. Remember that
30-40% of this should be set aside for income tax purposes.
This means that if you charge $100 for a session, you'd
need to book 13 clients a week.
Most financial experts who break down budgeting estimates
say that one third of your earnings or paycheck will go
towards rent/mortgage, insurance, and taxes, and 15-20% of
earnings for car payments, car insurance and gas. 5% would
go towards utilities, 5-10% clothing, 5-15% in debt repayment,
and 5-10% towards savings, 10-20% food/supplies, 3% for
medical, and 5-10% miscellaneous. In short 75% should go
towards your expenses and 25% for savings.
Keeping in mind that business fluctuates, you'd have to
make certain that you could actually attract and maintain
those 13 one-hour appointments per week in order to make
your budget. You could also charge more and book fewer
clients, but a price point of $300 a session may not be
appealing for the area you serve.
So to recap, it is best to begin with what your current
budget needs are and then work out how much you need
to work to cover that budget. Doing this also has the benefit
of letting you know whether you are charging too little or
too much.
I am not a financial expert, so please know that this is a
suggestion. There are several agencies that offer help with
budgeting, and tax professionals that provide tax advice.
Some of the companies and agencies are non-profit and have
valuable resources online that pertain to your financial
literacy, credit and savings such as Consumer Credit
Counseling Services (www.credit.org/cccs) and
Smart About Money (https://www.smartaboutmoney.org/).

On Sept. 8, 2016, members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) found themselves in a standoff. For more than six hours, they had been trying to coax a suspect out from behind his makeshift barricade in a field. Finally, they sent in a law enforcement robots to get a better idea of what they were dealing with. Video feed showed the suspect lying on his stomach with his weapon by his feet, which the LASD saw as an opportunity.
The officers distracted the suspect with their presence and the noise of a helicopter overhead. The Andros robot rolled in behind the suspect and grabbed his weapon, then rolled back out undetected. Officers were then able to apprehend the suspect without any harm coming to the officers or the suspect himself.
More and more stories like this have been in the news recently, and one might wonder just how common is the use of robots in law enforcement. The worldwide market for law enforcement robots will be approximately $5.7 billion by 2022, estimated Wintergreen Research in a recent report.
In "Law Enforcement Robots: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, 2016 to 2022," Wintergreen Research said the market was just over $1 billion in 2015, with the U.S. leading in spending with 55 percent of the marketplace.[note style="success" show_icon="false"]
Business Takeaways:
- Police robots are becoming more common, thanks in part to the 1033 Program, which provides for military surplus gear to be given to law enforcement agencies.
- However, several local authorities have been using the robots for spare parts and cite expenses. Drones and newer, cheaper law enforcement robots could change adoption rates.
- Officer and civilian safety are the main drivers for the use of robotics in law enforcement situations.
We asked local law enforcement authorities how they are acquiring their robots, what has driven the market's growth, and whether or not they agreed with the billion-dollar numbers.
Is the 1033 Program a boon or bust for police?
The Defense Logistics Agency oversees the 1033 Program, which allows law enforcement agencies to acquire excess U.S. Department of Defense property to assist in their missions to apprehend suspected criminals. Preference is given to counter-drug and counter-terrorism requests.
The West Covina Police Department has certainly benefited from the 1033 Program. The small municipal department serves a population just under 108,000 and is located in Los Angeles County in Southern California.
West Covina has acquired 12 robots — including two large Andros unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) from Northrop Grumman, as well as 10 smaller PackBots from Endeavor Robotics (formerly part of iRobot) and Talons made by QinetiQ (formerly Foster-Miller) — through the program, said Sgt. Brian Daniels.
Why so many robots for such a small police department? Daniels explained that not all the robots are fully functioning, and several are used for parts. The department does its own repairs on the robots and conducts training on their use.
Daniels said that representatives from the robot manufacturers do come out to see him, but that the law enforcement robots he has seen are just too expensive.
"Our department just doesn't have the funding for a $250,000 robot; it's just not going to happen," he said.
Although West Covina isn't in a position to buy such an expensive robot, Daniels said he could envision possible future purchases of robots that fall in the $15,000-to-$20,000 range.
Similarly, the LASD, the largest sheriff's department in the world, has also acquired robots through the 1033 Program, but Capt. Scott Ewell said they are used for parts. The LASD relies on grant funding and budgeted funding for its 11 functioning robots.
"They don't give you the good equipment," said Ewell referring to the 1033 Program. "It's surplus that people don't want anymore."
While Ewell said he thinks the multi-billion-dollar marketplace numbers are high, he does think many departments will find room in their budgets for direct purchases.
"I think the public wants the same things that we want: the safest resolutions of problems," he said. "Is there going to be more funding available? I don't think there is going to be huge amounts of extra funding. I just think that as robots get better and prove their worth, individual departments will carve out pieces of their budget and see the importance of them and make purchases."
However, Ewell agreed that prices will have to come down. He noted that departments once had to spend $300,000 on a UGV but can now get robots that perform the same functions for as little as $10,000 each.
The driving force behind law enforcement robots
Safety is the biggest reason robots are used in law enforcement. Ewell said that authorities aren't concerned just about the safety of their officers, but the safety of citizens and suspects as well. Their mission is to apprehend suspects so they have their days in court, he said.
In addition to ground robots, the LASD uses remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for marine situations.
"We have divers that frequently have to dive looking for evidence, looking unfortunately for bodies [from] plane crashes, boat crashes, and diving accidents," Ewell said. "We use ROVs in areas that are too dangerous to dive."
Daniels confirmed that the driving factor in deploying the robots is officer safety. He said that the West Covina PD uses its robots to go into a location and get the lay of the land ahead of the SWAT team entering.
The robots can also deliver objects such as a mobile phone in a hostage situation so that the negotiation team can establish communication.[note style="success" show_icon="true"]

Drones to be the next big thing
Both Ewell and Daniels agreed that aerial drones could be the future of law enforcement robots because they are far more efficient than their UGV counterparts.
Police could use drones in much the same way they use helicopters today, Daniels said. A drone could be deployed to look in windows in the case of a barricaded suspect or to pick up body heat to find a suspect hiding in a backyard.
Beyond those use cases, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could be a valuable asset for the department's public information officers, he said. A drone could be used to record a community outreach event or educational event at a school and provide video to be posted on social media.
Ewell said his department responds to about 500 suspicious or unattended items per year. Currently, that response involves the blocking of a street or intersection while officers investigate.
Deploying a large UGV takes a significant amount of time to unload it from a truck and maneuver it over and around obstacles to safely determine what they are dealing with.
A drone could do the same task much more efficiently, Ewell said. Within minutes, a drone can be unpacked from its case and flown to the suspicious package for a closer look.
"If it's a false alarm you're out with far less disruption," he said. "If it turns out to be a big deal, you know it's a big deal quicker, and we can start taking care of it."
It's hard to determine if the market growth forecasted by Wintergreen Research is on point, but local agencies are increasingly likely to use law enforcement robots in their day-to-day operations.
As prices continue to come down and robots become easier to use, smaller jurisdictions such as West Covina won't have to rely on the 1033 Program and will be able to buy direct from manufacturers.
"Robot technology, in general, is the wave of the future for law enforcement. It makes things safer for everyone involved including the criminals themselves," said Ewell.

text: Vita and Virginia. Socialite Vita (Gemma Arterton) and literary icon Virginia (Elizabeth Debicki) run in different circles in 1920s London. When the two cross paths, the magnetic Vita decides the beguiling, stubborn and gifted Virginia will be her next conquest, no matter the cost. Vita and Virginia forge an unconventional affair, set against the backdrop of their own strikingly contemporary marriages; an affair that inspires one of Virginia's most iconic novels, 'Orlando'. Their passionate romance and friendship overcomes all social boundaries, and neither will ever be the same without the other.
