4 Quick Questions You Should Ask EVERY Time You Get Your Pipes Out of the Box
The Problem:
When we are new to the bagpipes (and sometimes even when we're not!), there are a million variables to consider when we attempt to get our pipes going:
- Watch out for crossing noises
- Get good gracenotes
- Don't make note mistakes.
- Play clean embellishments.
- Express beautifully!
- Keep the tempo steady.
- Blow steady.
- Don't surge in my blowing.
- Get tuned up.
- Stay in tune.
- Don't over blow the reed.
- Don't let the reed choke
- .... and the list goes on and on.
To have any hope of gaining ground on these items, and actually improving, you're going to need a game plan. There's just too many things that we need to worry about when playing... how do we keep it all straight?
Well, the first step is a well-functioning bagpipe. How can you play any tunes, focus on your tonal quality, or tune yourself if your instrument isn't working properly? That's where I ultimately put together my super-quick-4-questions system to literally guarantee my instrument is set up perfectly before I get into practicing anything on the pipes.
If I ask myself these 4 questions every single time I play, I know without any doubt that bagpipe maintenance problems are not going to interfere with my playing.
Question 1: Is my bag airtight?
Question 1 seems obvious, sure.
But, the one time you overlook this detail, your practice session will be a MESS! You won't be able to get a steady sound, you certainly won't be able to get yourself in tune, and you'll be so winded that none of your tunes will come out musically either.
So, make sure you ask this question every time you get your pipes out of the box: Is my bag airtight?
And, if you're not 110% sure that the answer is "Yes, my bag holds air as well as an NBA regulation basketball" - Do something about it!
Pop some corks in your stocks, blow the bag up, make sure that baby is tight!
If it's leaking even a tiny iota of air: Hide Bag players should season their bag. Synthetic Bag players (if you're leaking air) need a new bag post haste.
-----> Click here to check out our newly updated Transitioning to the bagpipes course, where we go through all the basics of bag airtightness, and the 4 key questions.
Question 2: Are all of my joints airtight?
Next up, I make sure that all of the joints (where the drones/chanter/blowstick connect to the bag) are 100% snug.
I physically test each joint before I even lift my pipes out of the case to test this (yep, every single time I play).
The hemp on these joints tends to swell and contract (without notice) all the time, due to the huge moisture fluctuations that occur during day-to-day bagpiping. That's why this step is so important - if the joint is loose, you're going to LEAK AIR!
So, ask yourself this question every time you play. Test the joints to make sure.
Question 3: Are all of my reed-seats airtight?
Where the reed meets the bagpipe - this is an oft-overlooked detail that can leak a lot of air.
Think about it: If the reed is wiggling around in the reed-seat, that means there's gaps there where air could leak through.
And, if you were air, where would you pass through? A tiny reed-opening, or a gap in the reed seat? That's right. You'd take the path of least resistance.
So, every time you take your chanter or drones in/out, test that they are 100% snug, and there's no way air could sneak around the reed instead of through it.
You guessed it - do that every time you play.
Question 4: Are my drone reeds calibrated? (i.e. - are they taking the perfect amount of air)
This last question is extremely important. If your drone reeds are taking too much air, you're going to have trouble blowing steady, tuning yourself, staying in tune, and maintaining stamina.
How do you know if your reeds are taking the perfect amount of air? Well, that's where calibration comes in, and that's a whole other topic in itself.
Let's just say for now that it's a technique that we use to set each drone reed to take the perfect amount of air. You can check out our Transitioning to the Bagpipes course where we calibration in depth, if you'd like.

Below is the DVD cover we created for a documentary exploring the phenomenon of one of Gospel music's favorite songs. The cover required multiple artist photos, but we wanted to retain a light and inspirational feel in the design as well. We hope the new packaging will help bring them success in spreading their story of a song.

Released: 02.12.15
Students from Plymouth Studio School joined with representatives from the world of sport, tourism, events and education to mark the on-site start of their new £4.2 million state-of-the-art school and High Performance Sport Centre.
Chief Executive of Destination Plymouth Amanda Lumley and representatives from the schools' sponsor organisations, Phil Davies, Principal of City College Plymouth, and Professor Cara Aitchison, Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Mark & St John, joined top athletes, Olympic swimmer and Plymouth Studio School coach Antony James and University of St Mark & St John alumna and Rhea Gayle (three times British Diving Champion in the 1m springboard) to help make the first official concrete pour.
Guests also gathered items for a time-capsule to symbolise the Studio School's innovative approach to learning which gives students a mix of academic excellence, enterprise and employability, as well as providing top sport coaching and on-going work placements for Year 10 and 12 students looking to forge careers in sport, tourism and event management.
The two-storey, three block building, being built by Kier Construction South West and due for completion in Autumn 2016, will include a High Performance Sport Centre equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a Medical Lab for sport physiotherapy, power testing, functional screenings and physiological monitoring. It will also include an indoor laser pistol shooting range suitable for Modern Pentathlon training and Olympic lifting platforms.
A science laboratory, sixth form space and multi-use atrium are also included A "smart gym" will help all Plymouth Studio School students develop mental focus, team-working, self-control, confidence and evaluation skills – all important in gaining a head start in skills needed for the workplace, higher education and enterprise.
The Plymouth Studio School opened its doors this September to its first cohort of Year 10 and Year 12 students, based in temporary accommodation on the University of St Mark & St John campus. A total of 300 students will attend the new school, with the next intake of 100 students starting in September 2016.
Matthew Lennon, Principal of the Plymouth Studio School, said: "We are delighted that the new building is now underway and our students of all abilities will be able to benefit from the top level facilities which it will offer to help them reach their full potential.
"The space is ideally suited to our small class sizes, flexible timetables and individual approach to learning. It will also provide sports students with the world-class equipment, monitoring, coaching and science facilities needed to help them reach peak performance and pursue careers as sports coaches, therapists, scientists and physiotherapists. We are looking forward to continuing to work with our partners when it comes to putting Plymouth on the map for excellence in sport, tourism and events."
Student Executive Director for Plymouth Studio School, Year 12 Joe Tibbetts said: "Plymouth Studio School is already providing me with a brilliant opportunity to combine my A levels with swimming training, so it will be fantastic to have both the learning facilities and sport performance facilities together in our own new building next year."
Amanda Lumley, governor of Plymouth Studio School and Chief Executive of Destination Plymouth, said: "It is important that Plymouth has a school focused in establishing excellence in the tourism, leisure and life-style sectors and helping to create a skilled and innovative workforce for the City and beyond in these employment growth areas. Students are already flourishing and working alongside employers in the tourism sector – the new facilities will be the icing on the cake."
University of St Mark & St John alumna and Commonwealth medal winner Katherine Endacott, who is already part of the top level coaching team at Plymouth Studio School together with Olympic Sport performance psychologist Jon Rhodes, Olympic swimmer Antony James and Olympic shooting star Gorgs Geikie, will help support students in getting the most from the new High Performance Sport Centre.
Professor Cara Aitchison, Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Mark & St John, said: "We are extremely excited about being one of the first Universities to have a Studio School facility on campus and about the opportunities this provides for our own students and staff to get involved in inspiring and supporting Plymouth Studio School students on their chosen career and higher education paths across Sport, Business and Health."
Phil Davies, Principal of City College Plymouth, said: "As a sponsor of the school, we are delighted that the new building is underway and will help to provide a unique and exciting option for students as young as Year 10 to get a taste of real-life work experience and to gain the skills needed by today's employers."

I figured, since everyone else is doing it, I'd take a page from the clickbait headline style guide.
Here's a bit of TMI about your chicken soup. Our chicken bone broth is in a way is the crux of our whole operation. It stands for doing things the hard way, for honoring tradition, for providing a different level of quality. Like most terms in the food business, "bone broth," which was meant to differentiate from lame packaged broths, is now being co-opted by those food packagers.
A little science. Check this NY Times article on MSG... one of the funny (sad) things buried in the article is that that the hippie-friendly-sounding "autolyzed yeast extract" found in nearly everything that comes in a box or package in your favorite high-end eco-supermarket, notably in the earthy-looking tetrapaks of chicken broth, is just another glutamate, not substantively different from MSG but has that natural-sounding "yeast" in it. And it's there to trick your tastebuds into LOVING that broth even though there's next to nothing in it. According to Cook's Illustrated, these yeast extracts "boost the flavor of beef [or chicken] by as much as 20-fold." That means that they only have to put one twentieth of the actual stuff in there, or you get one twentieth the amount of nutrient in your body. I've done calculations on our homemade stock vs. what tastes really darn good out of the tetrapak and found that our stock is between 20 and 100 times as strong as what you can buy on the shelf, on the best soup shelf in the best grocery store, but it doesn't have any yeast extract, so it doesn't fool your mouth and brain into thinking your body is actually going to receive nutrients that aren't really there. And that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
What's the big deal about bone broth?
It's time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive to make, so that makes it rare. Bone broth like ours is cooked between 18 and 24 hours.
Is it really that good for you?
There are many health benefits. It gives you a thicker, shinier coat. It contains glucosamine and collagen which help your gut, joints, and skin function properly. Some studies show that it helps with sleep, immune support, and bone health. The internet is rife with helpful bullet-pointed websites describing this information in further detail.

Try our Chicken Soup with Rice and our excellent Chicken Tortilla Soup. Quarts of our bone broth are available at all our stores!

To test that mushrooms are not very digestible unless cooked, try this self-experiment.
Appreciate everyone's comments. Here is a simple test you can all try: Take a small "Button", closed cap, fresh, uncooked shiitake mushroom, and swallow it whole in the afternoon. The next morning, check your stool, and you will find the mushroom fully intact. (Yes, I have done this !) Now take a similarly sized mushroom (not the same mushroom --- No, I have not done this !), and boil it in water for 10 minutes. Swallow that one, and you will not see any evidence of mushrooms in your stool the next morning. Of course, everyone's digestive systems are different, but generally, most of us will see that this is true.
If you use a high speed blender and lyse the cells, then you can release the nutrients contained within the mushrooms, but you won't destroy the resident toxins. For instance, two oyster mushrooms, the King Oyster (Pleurotus eryngii) and the common Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) contain toxins which are quickly broken down with heat. Hemolysin and ostreolysin are two blood cell-destroying toxins. Consuming these mushrooms raw, even though you have put them through a blender, means these toxins are still present. Make sure your mushrooms and mushroom supplements are cooked - consumng them raw puts you into the danger zone. I am especially concerned about companies selling raw mushroom powders - in fact, be sure to check the ingredients. Some companies are selling raw King Oyster mushrooms, apparently unaware of the science showing the dangers of the heat sensitive hemolysin andostreolysin! Yikes!
In terms of psilocybin mushrooms, they can be eaten fresh or lightly cooked. Ones picked from manure or co-cultivated with lots of molds and bacteria, are better boiled in water for a few minutes, although the heat may reduce potency to a degree, absorption is increased, and other toxins are reduced. The more you chew, the more the cells are broken and the water soluble compounds can be absorbed. Obviously, people do not eat psilocybin mushrooms for nutrition, unless you consider psilocybin a nutrient for your soul.
Safety first - nature is a number's game. This advice is to help you tilt the balance in the favor of good health and a more positive outcome. Hope this helps!

The 10" device would be among the first to use Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, and would follow from Nokia's pioneering use of the Windows Phone OS.
Tablet manufacturers have been struggling to find a product to take on Apple's iPad, which has just been updated. New Microsoft software, however, will provide a new platform, and analysts have already been enthusiastic about the prospects for Windows 8 tablets.
Forrester's Sarah Rotman Epps has suggested that the new platform could allow manufacturers to differentiate their products in a crowded market dominated by devices using Google's Android platform.
Last week Windows 8 received a further boost when Mozilla announced that it would make a version of its Firefox web browser for the new platform.
Digitimes reported that Nokia will outsource the manufacturing of its Windows 8 tablet to Taiwan-based Compal Electronics. It claimed that initial orders would be at least 200,000 units.
Other manufacturers including Dell have confirmed that they will release Windows 8 tablets when the new software launches, although it is expected that such devices would use Intel microchips. Nokia's is thought to be more likely to use a processor made by British company Arm. As such, it would be one of the first Windows 8 devices as well as one of the first 'Windows on Arm' devices. Limitations in the new designs, however, mean that the full version of Windows 8 would only run on Intel machines.
Late last year Nokia executive Paul Amsellem said that a Nokia tablet was likely to launch in June. Nokia officials declined to comment.

Hey!! What's the story?
Malcolm leans over to the other side of the bed and kisses Hillary on the cheek.
'Happy birthday, pumpkin,' he says as he hands her a large parcel wrapped in re-used paper. Hillary assesses it and grins. It's a large box - easily big enough for the foot spa she's been hinting at for months.
When she unwraps the present it takes her a few seconds to process what she sees. Eventually she squeaks, 'A wormery. Gosh!'
'Now I've taken over that other allotment as well we're going to need more compost. The wormery should help no end.'
Not trusting her voice not to wobble, she just smiles.
Malcolm reaches under the bed and pulls out another present. 'This is from Sophie.'
'She could have given me it tonight.'
'We thought you might appreciate having them together.'
When she unwraps the present she stares at it for a moment. It's a book. Not a novel, or even a cookbook, but a book about composting with worms.
'It's got very good write-ups,' Malcolm says, taking the book and flicking through it. 'Gosh, I can't wait to get started properly on the new plot. I was thinking I might move the hens there when it's sorted a bit. I managed to clear some of it last night when you were at yoga, but it's still full of rubbish - old shoes, wellies...'
'Isn't it a waste of effort if the Vicar's going to sell off the land for houses?'
'We won't let that happen!'
Hillary sighs and eases herself out of bed. 'We'd better get up.'
'True. A busy day ahead.'
'I'm tired before we even start. Why did I plan a party? It's such hard work and Sophie's not even going to be around to help us.'
Malcolm pats her hand. 'It's important she gets her dissertation finished. Anyway, there can't be that much to do, surely. It won't take you five minutes to pick the veg and I've made the falafels and put some beans on to soak. I'll finish off when I get back.'
'Back from where?'
He peers at her over the top of his glasses. 'The emergency allotment committee - I did say.'
'That's today?'
''I put it on the calendar, pumpkin.'
'But what about all the party preparations?'
'I can't miss the meeting.'
He ruffles her hair. 'We should be done and dusted by mid-afternoon.'
Hillary reads over her party food list. She's been busy for weeks freezing puddings, but apart from Malcolm's uninspiring efforts, there's still all the savoury dishes to make. She assesses the pile of vegetables she's just picked - it doesn't much look like party food - much of it is covered in dirt, the tomatoes are barely ripe and the courgettes are nearly the size of marrows.
Before she embarks on the preparation, she makes herself a piece of toast, then in desperation, another. She feels annoyed with Malcolm and Sophie for buying her such awful presents and for abandoning her to do all the cooking. The food will have to be perfect - their friends are all such foodies - obsessed with tending their organic allotments and with their visits to the farmers' markets to buy artisan bread, cheese and rip-off olive oils. Sometimes they make her want to stuff her face with white sliced bread and Dairylea cheese triangles.
The doorbell rings as she is attacking the first courgette. It's her neighbour, Barry, holding a box of strawberries. 'Malcolm said you'd be glad of these.'
She peers at the tiny berries. 'Lovely. But can you spare them?'
'We're inundated and Malcolm said you'd want some to make pavlovas for the party.'
When Barry eventually leaves, she tips the strawberries into the colander. They just look as pathetic as the ones in their allotment. It's not been a good year for strawberries - too wet, or too dry, she can't remember which. With little enthusiasm she hulls the berries, puts them into a glass bowl and sprinkles them with sugar. That will have to do. She has no intention of making meringues. If Malcolm's so desperate for pavlovas, then he should be here, not wasting his time on some hopeless mission. People need homes and there's no real arguing with that, though no doubt he'll give it a good try.
She finishes chopping the courgettes and starts to peel a pile of dirt encrusted potatoes. It's another bad batch - tiny and full of slug holes. When she reaches the fourth one and it's speckled with brown spots, she swears and chucks them all into the compost bin.
Picking up her purse and car keys she marches out of the house.
Hillary looked round Marks and Spencer's food hall before, but she's never bought anything. She wanders round the aisles and without bothering to check that the eggs are free-range or the vegetable organic, selects a few items. When she sees a normal-looking woman casually picking up three large containers of potato salad, she does the same. Emboldened, she loads the trolley with ripe tomatoes, Greek salad, frittatas, tomato and mozzarella tarts, pasta salads and ready-washed lettuce.
When she reaches the last aisle, she examines her haul. It all looks so appetising. She'll have to distress it, of course, so no one guesses, but that shouldn't be difficult. It would be easy to get used to all this, she thinks - easy to adapt to a life that didn't involve constant cooking, scraping mud off potatoes or rushing out into the rain to shut up the hen coop.
She takes out her mobile and texts Malcolm: 'How is the meeting going?' A few seconds later he replies: 'Not good. Vicar's playing the starter home card.'
She put the phone back in her bag and smiles. Giggling, she adds four large meringue nests to her trolley and almost skips to the check-out.

Enjoyed this. Always like stories with food in. Especially like the idea of distressing the M&S food to make it look homemade, the need for white bread & cheese triangles ... & I cringed at him calling her pumpkin!
Thank you, Sal. It's lovely to get feedback on a story.

In the aftershock of having let the likely distintegration of civilization as we know it as a result of abrupt and full blown climate change into my tender small psyche in late June, I sought some relief, some resolution to the psychological disorientation I was feeling.
As I often do, I determined I needed to talk to a wise tree. So I hiked up Bowman Trail in Millcreek Canyon near my house, to White Fir Pass. I'd never been up that particular trail, but had some inkling I'd find a wise tree or two somewhere up there.
And indeed, after a lovely walk up north-facing slope woods, I came to a shoulder where I found a west-facing view and several very large and stately fir trees, just off the trail a few yards. A rather big tree that split into two still rather big trees just a few feet above the bottom of its trunk called me, and I sat on the ground her base. I settled into my interior, and from here, reached out to this big 'One Not Two' tree. I was pretty sad.
I thought about climate change, about what scientists and mystics say is coming for us and our way of living on planet earth. Big changes. I felt my fear. I felt my grief. I felt my smallness. I also felt in a way that I was living out a part in some great unreal play . . .
I asked the Tree three questions.
1. "Will I see pain and suffering in my lifetime?"
The answer was quick, short, unequivocal. I then thought of course the answer would be 'yes.' What human being does not see pain and suffering? I didn't specify the pain and suffering as a result of the effects of abrupt climate change. I smiled. No matter. Pain and suffering. Right. Got it.
2. "Are humans destroying the planet?"
"Yes — but you are a part of it."
This answer surprised me. The tone was kind; even loving, but firm. I had this strong sense that what the Tree meant was I am intrinsically part of the whole frigging crazy natural process. I am a life form that has evolved on the planet, and like all life forms (as my friend Vaughn says) we push our ecological niche until the niche pushes back. No big deal. My species destroys, and we create. I got the sense that the Tree actually didn't see human beings as a selfish and greedy species that was wreaking havoc on all the other poor, innocent life forms of the planet. I and my seven billion fellow humans are as much a part of the process happening on earth as the tree was. We were all in it together, doing our thing. There was no 'wrong' or 'bad' about the situation. The tree was not upset. I felt myself relax.
[Relax, but not abdicate responsibility. We are a self-reflective species and maybe should know what we're doing, but the point was the Tree wasn't making judgements.]
3. "Will I see the extinction of the human race in my lifetime?"
Again, an immediate and short reply. This answer could be taken in different ways. If the human race does become extinct in my lifetime, of course I won't be around to see it. Or, the human race won't actually become fully extinct in my lifetime. Either way, from my small perspective, it doesn't really matter. I personally will become extinct, that's for sure!! I relaxed again and decided to stop worrying about it.
After sitting for some time, I got up to leave. I realized that indeed I felt better. At least I had shared my fears with a Being I trusted who had a take on the matter that came from a bigger perspective than mine. Her words were direct and to the point, and filled with meaning that I received at some deeper feeling level.
I thanked the One Not Two Tree, and the other trees around, and started back down the mountainside.
It wasn't until a few days later that I realized my conversation with the Tree had moved me forward, beyond despair. Our conversation had somehow helped me metabolize my fears and had permanently supported me taking bigger perspective, from which I now can live.

News broke this morning, as reported in Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs, about Steve Jobs proclaiming confidently that Apple would not be making a television set. Specifically, when asked about Apple making a television set the conversation went like this:
Yukari says "Jobs didn't hesitate." He said, "No."
"TV is a terrible business. They don't turn over and the margins suck," said Jobs. (Unlike iPhones which are wildly profitable and replaced every two years, a TV gets replaced every 8 years, and isn't all that profitable.)
There are two things to consider here. First, Jobs wasn't exactly shy about bashing an industry that he and Apple would soon enter (like 7" tablets, though the case is solid for a 7" tablet being far different from 7.85"). Second, and most importantly, Apple doesn't need to make a television set to revolutionize TV. They don't and they won't; it simply wouldn't make sense.
Apple as a company provides superb user experiences and beautifully designed products. It would be ideal to have everyone viewing the Apple TV revolution on some Jony Ive designed 4K screen with high end surround sound to match, sure. It just isn't realistic and the upside is limited.
The revolution in the television world will be with content delivery, content packaging, and content itself. Apple has had great success cultivating an ecosystem of content, but the traditional cable provider and television network situation has clearly proven challenging for even Apple to battle. Apple will not go all-in on the TV/content market until they have the control they demand.
They have the UI figured out. They've got the set top box designed. They have the remote ready to go. I've got a hunch that their television plans have been ready for quite some time now, they're just waiting for the content deals to fall into place, then they push the button.

This book was firstly ordered to be purchased from Bhubaneswar Books-Fair about which I was communicated by Indian Age Publication. It is my luck that Mr . Anil Das who is not only one of my favorite subordinate but also a young neophyte poet of Orissa, purchased the same book along with two another novels in Oriya- your old creations from District Book Fair, recently organized in Jharsuguda Mahostava .This book was highly awaited by me since last one year. Although I could not learn original novel , but the English translated version of it by M K Dash was,too, successful to make me absorbed into it without any break.

Kuki, the central character of novel, is a wife of Aniket, An IIT ian working in 'Mumbai' and drawing very good salary but she was not emotionally and physically satisfied with him due to his short tempered nature. This loneliness diverted his wife to fall in love with a Muslim Artist from 'Pakistan' named Safik through Cyber-media. The long series of love conversations between Safik and Kuki was mostly a fantasy. The acceptance level of feminine psychology of Kuki was so high that she took him as ardent life partner. In spite of her knowledge that Safik was a lascivious and lecherous person who had made contact with variety of 52 women but, still Kuki was very assertative about the artist. Moreover, being mother of two children, she was very happy to make a Cyber relationship with 'Safik'. Indeed, the novel portrayed the relationship between different religions, different countries with different background even bitter relationship and animosity made by transgression and obsession.

In chapter-16, it was tried to reflect the fundamental of Osho's theory. In my adolescent ages, I had gone through Osho literature , mostly a revolutionary volumes "SAMBHOG SE SAMADHI KI AUR". Even I have attended one meditation camp organized by Osho devotees at "JODHPUR". It is my personal experience that 'Sex' can be an originator of great ecstasy that was illustrated by naked idols of 'Konark' and "Khajuraho'. In Hindu mythology, the "Shivalingam" worshiping is a fastidious example about the sacro-sanctity of 'sex' as a creation of universe.

This novel learnt me a lesson to give a due diligence and respect to the sentiments of my counterpart. Till date I was teemed with a manlihood psychology to suppress the feelings of women. But, now I discovered that feminine psychology elaborated from your novel reflected that it is always vacillating in nature. To ignore these sentiments means it may lead to devastating results . Also, it is pertinent to make the relation fresh and juvenile between couple, there is a prime requirement to understand female physiology and psychology.

In chapter-V a reflection of love towards art,(louver art gallery) made us to think that microscopic views towards any artistic value assuaging the basic need for human requirement even to satiate any perversion. Some sobriquets of the novel such as "Perversion goes hand in hand with genius, be it Einstein or Flaubert, it boosts creativity" are pragmatic and ruminating. Your this novel recapitulated my memory towards some of previous famous novel such as " Company with women" by Khuswant Singh as well as "Cosmic love" by an English author. The theme of these novels was also revolving around the same 'pith' of your novel. But your novel is a precious jewel due to its very simple, lucid and vernacular languages used at sometimes such as "Impotent, My Baby, My Goddess e.t.c." This made the novel more interesting to explore another imaginative arena.

This novel is most relevant in present scenario to mitigate terrorism and state sponsored anarchism through soft heart of "Kuki". It is universal truth that most of Pakistanis are terrorist and threatening another part of the world in name of "Jehad". If you can vent off the the inner sentiment of Abdul Rehman Kasab, only alive terrorist of "Mumbai attack". If some Indian girl fall in love with him, Perhaps he could not do such heinous crime of man-slaughter. Hence, love is only an entity to save humanity of world irrespective of cast, creed, race, belief, religion, nations and even by crossing geographical boundaries.

 No word I have to panegyrize your esteemed effort, labor, pain and struggle to construct such original, creative and prolific novel. I hope certainly this novel will meet the interest of laureates, vociferous readers and academicians from all corner of the World.

 I am fully convinced that our ancient history reveals about our same origin. In fact, we all are the clans of Indus civilization .Hence any category of humanity in different nomenclature ,say, Muslims , Hindu, Christian , Jain,Sikhs is bound with common philosophy of life.

But it is a matter of great regret that conversion of religion forcibly has not only separated /isolated but created genetically a great animosity among us .The massacre of "Kandhamal" is an burning example when Hindu sage is murdered by any Christian antisocial element. Then preponderance Christians are ravaged by Hindu extremities.

 Similarly , if I recapitulate the scene of film "Border" in which an Indian Sikh ( Sunny Deol ) adored a Muslim girl ( Amisha Patel ), I visualize ,first of all , for getting their marriage, the religion of bride-groom was converted into Muslim. Afterward he was drastically tortured to make blasphemous remarks against our Nation, saying Hindustan Murdabad ! Hindustan Murdabad !! . On denial both lovers were publicly shooted to death. The significance of above is to exemplify my own views , "Safiks are very few but the Musarafs are most predominant in Pakistan"

 The religious fervor had made them so blind and barbaric that they could not understand sentiments of any innocent human being .

I opined that Military Junta of Pakistan, as a political gamut, acted as abettor of Terrorists such as Dawood Ibrahim and associated other camps of Laskar-e –Toiba etc. and to wash out their gloomy face ,their own innocents persons like "Safik" are entangled.

One more question sometime arises in my heart that genology of Mugal emperors reflected cruelty , barbarism , and in-sensitiveness , but Aryan emperors were very sympathetic ,philanthropic and God- fearing personalities. If Aryan were converted into Muslim during attack of Mugal, was it possible that their unambiguous fundamental properties deteriorated gradually ?

Certainly your novel has tantalized me upto innermost and I pray that this novel will bring peace among India and Pakistan. It is a matter of great rejoice that "Indian Kukis" are sentimental and ready to help secular "Pakistani Safik" personalities. If this novel is published in Pakistan, the rift between two countries will be filled up to some extent .

A slim majority of Britain's population has decided that it is willing to weather an almighty economic and political storm in order to declare national independence and leave the European Union.
Globalists and central bankers are not happy that they have been defied. This was never going to be pretty.
The world's major banks have been instantly absolutely hammered by the decision. The markets had heavily bet on the UK remaining in the EU.
Related Brexistential Bloodbath – Dow Crashes 600 Points As Vol Explodes after Brexit Surprise; Financials Post Worst Day Since 2011
Britain's biggest banks faced double digit losses on the stock markets, with shares plunging. Barclays dropped by 23.08% to $8.60, HSBC shares dropped 7.35% to $31.25, Royal Bank of Scotland sunk a whopping19.63% to $6.02.

All in all at the time of writing, Britain's banks were facing a $100 billion smackdown, while world stocks saw more than $2 trillion wiped off their value.
The British pound took a massive nosedive by 18 U.S. cents, hitting 31 year low, reaching a 10 percent plunge at one point, and marking by far the biggest drop in recent history. The euro also dropped by 3 percent, with investors fearing it may eventually completely collapse altogether.
In the US, JPMorgan Chase shares were down 6.26% to $60.04. Bank of America shares fell 6.34% to $13.15, Citigroup shares dropped 8.3% to $40.77, and Wells Fargo dived 4.7% at $45.66.
The big investment banks were also hit hard with Goldman Sachs shares down 5.26%, and Morgan Stanley shares dropping 8.57% to $24.94.
Almost every major financial institution was forced to declare that they will provide emergency liquidity to stabilise the global economy.
The impact of Brexit on the banks was made even more massive by the fact that they had been certain that Britain would remain in the EU.
Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein admitted that the bank had been planning for months for a remain outcome. "Goldman Sachs has a long history of adapting to change, and we will work with relevant authorities as the terms of the exit become clear,"Blankfein noted.
JPMorgan released a statement urging that Britain will not immediately leave the EU.
"The framework of the UK's engagement with the EU, including trade agreements, will be negotiated over a period of years," Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon wrote. "For the moment, we will continue to serve our clients as usual, and our operating model in the UK remains the same."
The bank acknowledged, however, that it will most likely have to "make changes to our European legal entity structure and the location of some roles."
"We recognize the potential for market volatility over the next few weeks and we are ready to help our clients work through it," the statement read. "As of today, there are no changes to the structure of our clients' relationships with JPMorgan Chase or their ability to work with our firm, but again this may change in the coming months or years."
Deutsche Bank's chief executive John Cryan expressed complete contempt for the decision, saying "there's no doubt that the consequences will be negative on all sides."
"I'm afraid that this is not such a good day for Europe," Cryan wrote, adding "I am a strong supporter of the European project… As a Briton and a European, it especially saddens me that Europe has obviously lost its attractiveness for many of my fellow countrymen."
While IMF head Christine Lagarde called for "a smooth transition to a new economic relationship between the UK and the EU," heads of finance and top central bankers from the G7 warned of untold "adverse implications".
"We recognise that excessive volatility and disorderly movements in exchange rates can have adverse implications for economic and financial stability," a G7 statement read.
The predictions of financial armageddon are already coming thick and fast. Australian investment strategist Matt Sherwood said "Obviously, there will be a large spill-over effects across all global economies … Not only will the UK go into recession, Europe will follow suit."
Figurehead of the leave campaign, and UKIP leader Nigel Farrage stated this morning that the Brexit win is a "victory for ordinary, decent people, a victory against the big merchant banks."

News from the Arizona Horse Council
Equine Rescue Registry accepting applications
The Arizona Department of Agriculture has announced that the Equine Rescue Registry is accepting applications from certified Equine Rescue facilities. Certified Equine Rescue facilities can now be listed on the Equine Rescue Registry found on the Departments website.
The application for listing is located at www.azda.gov/ESD/equinerescuefacilityapp.pdf.
Certification and listing on the registry allows the public to easily find Equine Rescue facilities that meet veterinarian approved standards of care. This will lead to more secure homes for abandoned or unwanted horses in the future.
The issue of abandoned horses in Arizona is one with which we are all too familiar. The number of abandoned horses has skyrocketed in the United States. It is estimated that the annual number of abandoned horses is over 100,000 per year.
In 2009 the Arizona Horse Council working with representatives from the Equine Rescue community were successful in having legislation enacted to create the Equine Rescue Registry.
This year the Arizona Department of Agriculture created a set of rules to implement the new law. The new rules went into effect July 5, 2010.
The Arizona Horse Council encourages all interested Equine Rescue facilities to take advantage of this opportunity.
If you have any questions please contact Chip Wilson of the Arizona Horse Council at
602-390-6806 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Dustin Johnson becomes World No.1 with win at Genesis Open
Playing the all-new 2017 M1 460 driver and TP5X ball, Dustin Johnson extends the PGA TOUR's longest active streak with a win in 10 consecutive seasons.
Dustin Johnson dominated the Genesis Open at Riviera to win by five shots with rounds of 66-66-64-71 for a four round total of 267 to claim his 13th career PGA Tour win.
After playing M1 for most of 2016, Johnson experimented with M2 for a few months at the end of 2016, before finally landing back with the new 2017 M1 460 driver due to the overall performance. The 2017 M1 provided him with 500rpm less spin than his M2 and was going around 8 yards further on Trackman.
Dustin also put the new 2017 M1 3HL Fairway Wood in play this week. It's cut to a 5 wood length i.e. 1" shorter than standard and has 16* loft. With this combo, Dustin carries it 280 yards, which is exactly what he's looking for in a 3 wood - at standard length it was just going too far.
Dustin Johnson and his all-new 2017 M1 3 wood
After switching to the new M1 460 driver this week and the TP5X ball last week, Dustin averaged 321 yards off the tee in R4 at Riviera and gained 1.84 strokes over the field across all four rounds with his Spider putter. Season to date, Dustin is also no.2 in Strokes Gained in "driving distance", "off-the-tee" and "tee-to-green".

Public Comment
Commentary: Students Deserve A Real College Town
As a second year business student at UC Berkeley, I have become particularly interested in the issues surrounding extension of business hours in the immediate vicinity of the UC Berkeley campus. Having enrolled in two city planning courses the last two consecutive semesters, I have been interested to learn how land use and stakeholders in the area are integral parts of an equation that I had previously felt was limited to issues of supply, demand, and business models. I urge the City Council to continue pushing for extended business hours for several reasons: there is a mutual benefit for both store owners and students, a more vibrant night life will also mean a safer Telegraph commons as well as increased sales tax revenues for the city of Berkeley.
Let me begin by stating that as a student, I can identify a real need for more merchants to be open later at night. UC Berkeley is an incredible campus with over 30,000 young college-age people living around the perimeter of campus. While the city of Berkeley is no doubt an extraordinary place with very unique characteristics, one thing we definitely lack is a vibrant night life scene. If the surrounding perimeter streets of the campus are to be considered a true "college town" there needs to be improvements made in how businesses are structured for late night hours. Telegraph has seen a steady and rapid decline in the number of successful businesses on the avenue, as seen in the recent closing of long standing establishments such as Cody's Books last year. There are current limits imposed by the Zoning Adjustments Board to have businesses stay open no later than 2 a.m. for non-alcohol serving establishments. It would be terrific if all of these potential merchants honored the Board's rules and stayed open until 2 a.m.—few of them actually do that.
The Zoning Board is trying to do its part in making Telegraph once again a vibrant space bustling with night activities. The Berkeley Planning Commission unanimously passed a group of proposals in March of 2007 that will help ease the establishment of new businesses as well as modifications of business hours for current businesses. Commission members highlighted the idea that with more foot traffic yields a safer environment, as they passed five of eight points of the Telegraph Assistance Economic Development package. Similarly, in September of 2007, a new late night café was granted late night hours by the Zoning Adjustment Board in a 6-1 vote. Clearly there are trends that say the city government realizes the needs for an improved Telegraph business district, and now is the time to finalize this movement with legislation that urges all businesses to stay open as late as legally possible.
It is time that students on this campus gather together in support of something tangible: an improvement in their lives as students. I urge the City Council to push harder on this topic: engage a mixed-land use approach to allow for effective use of space, but keeping the businesses open is a positive step for not only the students, but also residents of Berkeley and the overall financial well being of the city. Longer business hours mean happier students, a safer environment, and an accelerated business model with higher revenues for the city to use at its discretion. I am excited about the opportunity to see real change before I leave this campus in two years.
Scott Silver is a student at UC Berkeley.

Aquil Abdullah, GW Athletic Hall of Fame
Aquil H. Abdullah won four letters in men's rowing at GW from 1992-96 and in 2004 became the first African American man on the United States Olympic rowing team. Ironically, he missed qualifying for the 2000 Summer Olympics at Sydney by a fraction of a second (.33 of a second–or just seven feet). But he persisted and four years later, his first-place finish in the Olympic Trials' double sculls competition secured him a spot on the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team in Athens, Greece.
After losing in the 2000 Olympic Trials, Abdullah considered retiring from the sport. Instead, he resumed training, competed again and won the elite Diamond Sculls race at the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-the Thames in London in 2000, the first African American man to do so. He also co-authored a book, `Perfect Balance', with Chris Ingraham, which concentrated on his quest to make the national team and his disappointment of narrowly missing it.
Abdullah, the second men's rower elected to the University's Athletic Hall of Fame, came to GW from nearby Wilson High School in Northwest Washington after starring as a 6-foot-1, 185-pound wide receiver on the Wilson football team. But he had started rowing as a high school senior and in 1992 accepted a rowing scholarship at George Washington where he majored in physics.
Born in Washington, D.C., and a member of D.C.'s Potomac Boat Club as well as the Cambridge (Mass.) Boat Club, Abdullah now resides in Boston, Mass., where he is a software engineer and plays a `mean saxophone'.

In general, hiring managers and recruiters will spend an average of 25 seconds looking through your resume. If nothing leaps out, your resume will be tossed in the pile that will soon be forgotten, along with several hundred others. Writing a great resume is the first step to that dream job. No matter how inexperienced or experienced you are, a strategically and well-written resume trumps the resume that is word-heavy and three pages long.
If you think that the resume you made ten years ago will do the job you're applying for now, think again. Resumes should change with every job you hold, and, more importantly, they should be tailor-made to the job that you're hoping to land. Here are a few tips to get started.
For most candidates
Instead of putting "Career Objective" on top of your resume, you can put "Summary Statement", also known as your summary of qualifications or competencies. This should be a brief statement of your abilities, accomplishments, and which direction you want to take your career. Include the most relevant and notable skills you have acquired and put them at the top.
When you add your job descriptions, don't just list them down like some elaborate grocery list. Put emphasis on what you did and not on what the job was. Whatever you put on your resume, remember that it should always provide a clear picture of your ability and marketability. If you can add in professional certifications, organizations, and community involvement, these will help bring more interest to your resume.
For the recent graduate
Even if you are a recent graduate, your resume can stand out if you craft it in a way that is succinct and comprehensive. A well-written resume can land you a job even without having tons of professional experience. You work with what you have, and you work with what you have earned. Your education and other credentials while in college should have a top spot in your resume. Those are your best qualifications.
If you got impressive grades or achieved special honors in college, include those in your resume, especially if they are related to the job that you are applying for. Make them appeal to recruiters. Highlight all your transferable skills in college to the professional environment.
For those who want to change careers
Everybody will go through a career change at least once in their lives, and it can be for a whole lot of reasons. Career changers should show potential employers that they possess the relevant skills and experience to transition to a different career. Your resume should show that you have a passion for your new chosen field and that you have been working hard to develop your skills. While doing so, you should not appear overqualified nor underqualified.
Keep your resume relevant and focused, while keeping it to two pages maximum.
For senior level / senior management candidates
Resumes for a senior level or senior management candidates should highlight their areas of expertise or core proficiencies. These can be included in the summary statement. State your value proposition and the quantitative results that you delivered. Highlight your experience and your expertise. Craft your resume in a way that does not read like an autobiography, but is sufficiently comprehensive for the hiring manager to know enough about you. Avoid jargon and limit it to easy-to-understand terms.

The delicious mess of the All-Star Game has now cooled, its gooey center congealed into one more digestible lump of vein-clogging gunk, and the realization suddenly sets in:
New media is the same as old media, only with the power of GIF.
In other words, hero worship as journalism is as vibrant now as it's ever been, and Tuesday's events proved it in trumps.
The fixation of this All-Star Game was Derek Jeter Mania. All the "narratives" (and shouldn't the use of that word without quote marks be a crime by now?) enveloped him, both before, during and afterward, to the point where, through little fault of his own, he may become a victim of Jeter-o-phobia -- the act of being scared to death of the very mention of his name.
Proof? The many mentions of Jeter on Fox's broadcast that obliterated any mentions of the recently passed Tony Gwynn, Don Zimmer or Bob Welch, all of whom have their own media-based constituencies. Jeter was not responsible for their exclusions, but he was the reason nonetheless, because this All-Star Game was declared to be his and his alone.
[RELATED: AL takes down NL 5-3 in All-Star Game]
In that way, Adam Wainwright is a hero for following baseball etiquette by throwing him a solid in the game's very first at-bat. His crime, not lying about it, is a nonsense charge, raised by people defending, yes, the Jeter narrative. How dare he assume the all-powerful Jeter couldn't take him down the right field line like he could at 26?
Because shut up, that's why. Wainwright was paying his respects as pitchers do to retiring hitters of Jeter's accomplishments, it's been going on for decades, and if that doesn't fit your version of events, well, he wasn't doing it for you.
But Jeter had to be worshiped, not just admired, and the same is true of the grousing over the glossing-over of Gwynn, Zimmer and Welch. They were all due theirs because; well, because someone would be bent out of shape if their heroes and favorites were not acknowledged with commensurate zeal.
It's what happens when events are pre-packaged -- someone's favorite is exalted and someone else's favorite is ignored. It is the way of television – games are elevated to the level of epic tales, and then dismissed for the next epic tale, thus reducing all the tales into chewing gum, to be tossed off for the next one.
But television isn't the only version, and the anger over all of it is a measure of "new" journalism's most obvious link to "old" journalism -- the urge to complain about slights to "my guy."
The truth is, the All-Star festivities aren't significant as news events, or even terribly entertaining. The furor over this one is about "my guy" not getting his due by the chief mythmakers.
And that's been one of the creepier sides of journalism going back to Babe Ruth, and before him as well. You may decide for yourselves if there ought to be a different standard that should be met in the world of fun and games, but this is the one that is. Everyone has "their guy," and everyone has always had "their guy." This isn't a generational thing, but a constant. This time, "their guy" was Derek Jeter, AND Tony Gwynn, and Don Zimmer and Bob Welch. All fine fellows by all accounts, and all diminished by arguments over who got how much acclaim.
But now I'm doing it -- trying to parse out the right amount of acknowledgement for each. So maybe the All-Star Game is in fact the right place to engage in sectarian arguments about whose name got mentioned more. Maybe it shouldn't mean home field advantage, and maybe it shouldn't even be a game at all. Maybe it really should be just be a bunch of people, old and young, newspaperists and bloggers and podcastresses and GIF-mongers and Vine-o-philes, all sitting around the old hot stove arguing about who deserved, in Chris Rock's words, "the big piece of chicken," notoriety-wise.
And that, kids, is how sports journalism is the same as it ever was, for Jeter as it was for Ruth and it shall be for Trout in 15 years' time. An eternal argument over "my guy" and "your guy," and an overcoat of hell made in an unlimited number of sizes.

Upgrade (OS) Process
The new WANOP OS Kernel upgrade is supported from which SD-WAN release?
Citrix SD-WAN release 10.1 and later.
Is the new OS supported on all SD-WAN platforms?
Yes. The OS upgrade is supported on all SD-WAN WANOP (VPX, Physical, Cloud), and Premium/Enterprise edition appliances.
What are the WANOP VPX profiles (RAM/Disk/vCPU) that are supported with release 10.1?
- 6GB RAM, 100GB Disk and 2 vCPUs
- 6GB RAM, 250GB Disk and 2 vCPUs
- 8GB RAM, 500GB Disk and 4 vCPUs
- 16GB RAM, 500GB Disk and 4 vCPUs
What are the key feature differences between WANOP running with release 10.0 or lower versus 10.1?
|10.0 or earlier
|10.1 or later
|Video Caching support on WANOP
|Not supported
|Minimum RAM requirement for WANOP VPX
|WANOP VPX deployment wizard
|Not supported
|Primary / apA Adapter Management IP address for WANOP VPX
|DHCP is disabled by default
|DHCP is enabled by default
|Upgrade support on existing standalone WANOP VPX on XenServer
|not supported. Fresh SD-WAN 10.1 XVA image should be imported
|Upgrade support on Physical WANOP platform that have XenServer 6.0 Hypervisor version (Platforms that are shipped with 7.2.2 or earlier factory base image version would have XenServer 6.0 version) release 10.1
|You have to upgrade XenServer to 6.5 version (using WANOP XenServer 6.5 upgrade bundle) and then perform WANOP 10.1 upgrade
|Clicking on "Configuration" GUI, would display XenServer hypervisor version
Upgrade of WANOP VPX running on standalone XenServer (with WO build 10.0 or earlier) to 10.1 version is that supported, If not, why?
This upgrade is not supported because of PV to HVM conversion. You have to provision a fresh SD-WAN release on 10.1 XenServer WANOP VPX using the XVA image.
Upgrade of WANOP VPX running on standalone ESXi / Hyper-V (with WO build 10.0 or earlier) to 10.1 version is that supported, If not, why?
This upgrade is supported. Before upgrade, please be aware of the new RAM resource requirement changes.
Upgrade of WANOP on physical appliance (with WANOP build 10.0 or earlier) to 10.1 version is that supported, If not, why?
This upgrade is supported. Prerequisite for this upgrade is to have the hosting XenServer Hypervisor (on physical SD-WAN appliance) to have XenServer version 6.2 / 6.5 or higher version. This can be verified by using the Configuration tab.
If the physical WANOP appliance is not running with XenServer 6.2 / 6.5 or higher, what does the user have to perform?
You have to upgrade XenServer, before upgrading SD-WAN WO version.For example, in this below use case, let us consider planning to upgrade SD-WAN 800 WANOP platform running with 7.2.2 (that has XenServer 6.0 version).
While upgrading this appliance to SD-WAN 10.1 release, the following error message would occur.
Upgrade XenServer to 6.5, using "ns-sdw-xen65-pkg_v1.5.upg" (this can be downloaded from Citrix Download website.
If SD-WAN WO does not have 9.0 or later version, then upgrade to XenServer 6.5 would not happen. The below error message would appear.
Let us assume, the user have upgraded the WO version to 10.0.2 now.
Now, upgrade XenServer to 6.5, using "ns-sdw-xen65-pkg_v1.5.upg".
Now, upgrade SD-WAN to 10.1 release.
Client to Server ICMP Ping is working fine, but TCP traffic is not going through the WANOP VPX appliance (disabling WANOP traffic processing works fine)?
Check the firewall settings on the Client, Server and Router. When WANOP VPX or Client/Server are hosted as VM, make sure that checksum is disabled on the end hosts VM.
Example Linux Commands:
ethtool -K eth0 tx off
ethtool -K eth0 rx off
ethtool --offload eth0 tx off
ethtool --offload eth0 rx off
Enable the "Checksum.SendForceSW" parameter on both WO VPXs should be "ON".
Checksum.SendForceSW on
Is there any change to SDWAN SE/EE/WO Appliance upgrade process due to new WO OS Kernel?

Friends was a Swedish dansband or pop group formed in 1999 and made up of Stefan Brunzell, Tony Haglund, Kristian Hermanson, Nina Inhammar, Kim Kärnfalk and Peter Strandberg. They were put together from auditions on the reality television show Friends på turne (Friends on Tour), made by Bert Karlsson for TV4. The show was a success and Friends competed on Melodifestivalen 2000, reaching second place. They won Melodifestivalen 2001 with "Lyssna till ditt hjärta" and represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 with the English version of the song, "Listen To Your Heartbeat" wearing sexy, tight, leather fitted clothing. Prior to the Eurovision performance, the Swedish delegation was forced to pay royalties to the team behind "Liefde is een kaartspel", an earlier Belgian entry, making the song the first admitted case of plagiarism in Eurovision history.The band split in 2002, with Inhammar and Kärnfalk forming their own duo Nina & Kim, which continued until 2006, after which Kärnfalk continued as a solo artist.Read more about Friends
