Food Warmer Buying Info
- Does your establishment deliver? Keep food warm with insulated delivery bags. Use heat lamps to keep food warm at your restaurant. Both are great ways to keep foods tasting fresh and warm until they are ready for eating.
- Does your establishment offer buffets? Food may be offered for several hours at a time throughout the afternoon or night. Keep foods warm and tasting great with a countertop warmer, steel soup warmer, or a buffet server and warmer. In addition, these items are great for parties, receptions, graduations, barbeques, or whenever!
- Are you looking to enhance your offered goods? Why not purchase a pretzel oven or pizza warmer in your store? The food warmers will pay for themselves in no time.
- Everyone loves rice. It is great as a side dish or to consume mixed with meats and vegetables at lunch or dinner. Choose one of our rice cookers and warmers to use on occasion or on a daily basis. In addition, you can purchase one of our woks to help cook the rice and other assorted food items.
- Do you like to camp or tailgate with friends and family? Use one or a combination of our food warmers to keep food ready to eat. For all occasions, keep foods tasting delicious with a food warmer from Sam's Club!

I know this is ostensibly a sketch blog. I thought I'd post some actual sketchbook pages, you know, to keep up appearances. This is how we spent our holiday yesterday. Can't think of a better way to spend a day off.
What do you guys do on your day off?

Well, here it is. I spent all day working on my masquerade costume for New Year's Eve when we play at The Frontier Club in Meridian. I had bought this dress at a thrift store a couple of years ago for like $5 with the intention of using it for something and it was perfect for my saloon girl dress. It was actually pretty easy, I just slit the front open, sewed the two sides, punched holes and ran satin ribbon criss cross through it for a bodice. Then I slit the front of the waist down and made a drape effect to show the red satin lining. I still have to finish the mask, so far I have put a black glitter glue design around the eyes and added the red and peacock feathers. I have to wait for the glue to dry over night and I am going to punch a hole under the feathers and add some satin ribbon strands under the feathers. After that all I need is fishnet hose and I am ready! What do you think? I am very pleased with the results and think it's gonna look really cute…. Miss Lilly requested that I post another song so I am posting our live version of Landslide from the BoEx benefit gig for Baby Maxwell on October the 26th, hope you enjoy! 🙂

I remember a friend in graduate school throwing an early edition of Jurgen Neukirch's Algebraic Number Theory book against a wall (so hard that it split the binding) after he had worked for a number of days to reconcile something he realized was an error (or typo) in the book.
For the life of me, I cannot remember what this error was.
Has anyone come across a particularly annoying error in an early edition of Neukirch? If so, what was it?
To give context to some of the answers below, I include the original statement of this question:
What are your "favorite" annoying errors and typos in otherwise excellent sources?
Please especially try to include subtle errors that can mislead, as these are very important.
Disclaimer: The author of this quesion thinks that working to resolve an error like this is a very worthwhile exercise, at least from the standpoint of having cool war stories that make a topic memorable. I'm not sure, therefore, whether I would want to post an answer to this question myself. I posted the question because I thought it would be fun.

Storage Security Series: Protecting Data at Rest
Apr 29 2020
5:00 pm
75 mins
Pierre Mouallem, Lenovo; Ahmad Atamhl, Mellanox; Steve Vanderlinden, Lenovo
Contrary to popular belief, securing "data at rest" does not simply mean encrypting the data prior to storage. While it is true that data encryption plays a major role in securing "data at rest," there are several other factors that come into play and are as important as encryption. In this webinar, we present the end-to-end process to securing "data at rest," and discuss all the factors and trade-off that must be considered, and some of the general risks that need to be mitigated, discussing:
•How requirements for "data at rest" differ from "data in flight"
•Understanding the costs of ransomware
•How to protect cryptographic keys from malicious actors
•Good and bad uses of key managers: Best policies for retaining cryptographic keys over time (understanding the "key lifecycle")
•How IT departments can increase security risks by introducing weaknesses in the cryptographic security chain
•Strengths and weaknesses of relying on government security recommendations
•The importance of test validation of data backups

Ethernet-attached SSDs—Brilliant Idea or Storage Silliness?
Mar 17 2020
5:00 pm
75 mins
Mark Carlson, Kioxia; Rob Davis, Mellanox; John Kim, Mellanox; Ted Vojnovich, Lenovo
Several SSD and networking vendors have recentl¬y demonstrated ways to connect SSDs directly to an Ethernet network. They propose that deploying Ethernet SSDs will be more scalable, easier to manage, more performant, and/or lower cost than traditional storage networking solutions that use a storage controller (or hyperconverged node) between the SSDs and the network.
Who would want to attach SSDs directly to the network? Are these vendors brilliant or simply trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist? What are the different solutions that could benefit from Ethernet SSDs? Which protocols would one use to access them? And how do Ethernet SSDs relate to computational storage? Join this SNIA Networking Storage Forum webcast to learn all this and more as SNIA experts discuss:
•What are the appropriate use cases for Ethernet SSDs?
•Why Ethernet SSDs could be appealing and more efficient
•How Ethernet SSDs compare to other forms of storage networking
•Different ways Ethernet SSDs can be accessed, such as JBOF/NBOF, NVMe-oF, and Key Value
•How do Ethernet-attached SSDs enable composable infrastructures?

Kubernetes in the Cloud (Part 2)
Jul 17 2019
60 mins
Michelle Tidwell, Program Director, IBM; Tom Clark, Distinguished Engineer, IBM; Matt Levan, Storage Solutions Architect, IBM
As enterprises move to a hybrid multi-cloud world, they are faced with many challenges. Decisions surrounding what technologies to use is one, but they are also seeing a transformation in traditional IT roles. The storage admins are asked to be more cloud savvy while new roles of cloud admins are emerging to handle the complexities of deploying simple and efficient clouds. Meanwhile, both these roles are asked to ensure a self-service environment is architected so that application developers can get resources needed to develop cutting edge apps not in weeks, days or hours, but in minutes.
In part one of this three part series, we covered the high level aspects of Kubernetes. This presentation will discuss key capabilities IT vendors are creating based on open source technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes to build self-service infrastructure to support hybrid multi-cloud deployments.We'll cover:
•Persistent storage and how to specify it
•Ensuring application portability between Private and Public Clouds
•Building a self-service infrastructure (Helm, Operators)
•Selecting Block, File, Object (Traditional Storage, SDS)

Eden KIm, CEO, Calypso Systems; Jim Fister, SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative
Real-world digital workloads often behave very differently from what might be expected. The equipment used in a computing system may function differently than anticipated. Unknown quirks in complicated software and operations running alongside the workload may be doing more or less than the user initially supposed. To truly understand what is happening, the right approach is to test and monitor the systems' behaviors as real code is executed. By using measured data designers, vendors and service personnel can pinpoint the actual limits and bottlenecks that a particular workload is experiencing.

Swordfish School: Introduction to SNIA Swordfish™ Features and Profiles
Ready to ride the wave to what's next in storage management? As a part of an ongoing series of educational materials to help speed your SNIA Swordfish™ implementation in this Swordfish School webcast, Storage standards expert Richelle Ahlvers (Broadcom Inc.) will provide an introduction to the Features and Profiles concepts, describe how they work together, and talk about how to use both Features and Profiles when implementing Swordfish.
Features are used by implementations to advertise to clients what functionality they are able to support. Profiles are detailed descriptions that describe down to the individual property level what functionality is required for implementations to advertise Features. The Profiles are used for in-depth analysis during development, making it easy for clients to determine which Features to require for different configurations. They are also used to determine certification / conformance requirements.
About SNIA Swordfish™
Designed with IT administrators and DevOps engineers in mind to provide simplified and scalable storage management for data center environments, SNIA Swordfish™ is a standard that defines the management of data storage and services as an extension to the Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF) Redfish application programming interface specification. Unlike proprietary interfaces, Swordfish is open and easy-to-adopt with broad industry support.

Introduction to Incast, Head of Line Blocking, and Congestion Management
Jun 18 2019
61 mins
Sathish Gnanasekaran, Broadcom; John Kim, Mellanox; J Metz, Cisco; Tim Lustig, Mellanox
For a long time, the architecture and best practices of storage networks have been relatively well-understood. Recently, however, advanced capabilities have been added to storage that could have broader impacts on networks than we think.
The three main storage network transports - Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and InfiniBand – all have mechanisms to handle increased traffic, but they are not all affected or implemented the same way. For instance, placing a protocol such as NVMe over Fabrics can mean very different things when looking at one networking method in comparison to another.
Unfortunately, many network administrators may not understand how different storage solutions place burdens upon their networks. As more storage traffic traverses the network, customers face the risk of congestion leading to higher-than-expected latencies and lower-than expected throughput. Watch this webinar to learn:
•Typical storage traffic patterns
•What is Incast, what is head of line blocking, what is congestion, what is a slow drain, and when do these become problems on a network?
•How Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand handle these effects
•The proper role of buffers in handling storage network traffic
•Potential new ways to handle increasing storage traffic loads on the network

New Landscape of Network Speeds
May 21 2019
66 mins
David Chalupsky, Intel; Craig Carlson, Marvell; Peter Onufryck, Microchip; John Kim, Mellanox
In the short period from 2014-2018, Ethernet equipment vendors have announced big increases in line speeds, shipping 25, 50, and 100 Gigabits-per -second (Gb/s) speeds and announcing 200/400 Gb/s. At the same time Fibre Channel vendors have launched 32GFC, 64GFC and 128GFC technology while InfiniBand has reached 200Gb/s (called HDR) speeds.
But who exactly is asking for these faster new networking speeds, and how will they use them? Are there servers, storage, and applications that can make good use of them? How are these new speeds achieved? Are new types of signaling, cables and transceivers required? How will changes in PCIe standards keep up? And do the faster speeds come with different distance limitations?
Watch this SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webcast to learn how these new speeds are achieved, where they are likely to be deployed for storage, and what infrastructure changes are needed to support them.

Everything You Wanted to Know...But Were Too Proud to Ask - The Memory Pod
May 16 2019
62 mins
Alan Bumgarner, Intel; Alex McDonald, NetApp; John Kim, Mellanox
Traditionally, much of the IT infrastructure that we've built over the years can be divided fairly simply into storage (the place we save our persistent data), network (how we get access to the storage and get at our data) and compute (memory and CPU that crunches on the data). In fact, so successful has this model been that a trip to any cloud services provider allows you to order (and be billed for) exactly these three components.
We build effective systems in a cost-optimal way by using appropriate quantities of expensive and fast memory (DRAM for instance) to cache our cheaper and slower storage. But currently fast memory has no persistence at all; it's only storage that provides the application the guarantee that storing, modifying or deleting data does exactly that.
Memory and storage differ in other ways. For example, we load from memory to registers on the CPU, perform operations there, and then store the results back to memory by using byte addresses. This load/store technology is different from storage, where we tend to move data back and fore between memory and storage in large blocks, by using an API (application programming interface).
New memory technologies are challenging these assumptions. They look like storage in that they're persistent, if a lot faster than traditional disks or even Flash based SSDs, but we address them in bytes, as we do memory like DRAM, if more slowly. Persistent memory (PM) lies between storage and memory in latency, bandwidth and cost, while providing memory semantics and storage persistence. In this webcast, SNIA experts will discuss:
•Traditional uses of storage and memory as a cache
•How can we build and use systems based on PM?
•What would a system with storage, persistent memory and DRAM look like?
•Do we need a new programming model to take advantage of PM?
•How we might take better advantage of this new technology

Matt Baldwin, NetApp and Former Founder StackPoint Cloud; Ingo Fuchs, NetApp; Mike Jochimsen, Kaminario
Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes promises simplified management of cloud workloads at scale, whether on-premises, hybrid, or in a public cloud infrastructure, allowing effortless movement of workloads from cloud to cloud. By some reckonings, it is being deployed at a rate several times faster than virtualization.
In this presentation, we'll introduce Kubernetes and present use cases that make clear where and why you would want to use it in your IT environment. We'll also focus on the enterprise requirements of orchestration and containerization, and specifically on the storage aspects and best practices.
•What is Kubernetes? Why would you want to use it?
•How does Kubernetes help in a multi-cloud/private cloud environment?
•How does Kubernetes orchestrate & manage storage? Can Kubernetes use Docker?
•How do we provide persistence and data protection?
•Example use cases

Donald Trump's debate performance did not help his standing among among women likely to vote in the election in November, according to a new NBC News|SurveyMoney poll taken after Monday's debate.
NBC News reported that 27 percent of likely female voters said the debate caused them to think worse of Trump, while just 12 percent said their views on Clinton worsened. Eleven percent of women voters said their views on Trump improved while 30 percent said their views on Hillary Clinton improved.
The poll found that overall, 52 percent of likely voters who watched the debate or followed coverage on it thought Hillary Clinton won, and women named Clinton the winner of the debate by a 10-point margin over men.
U.S. & World
"I'm undecided, but I'm leaning more towards Hillary than I ever have before because of the debate," said Joan Hume, a 71-year-old retiree from Ohio who said she voted for Trump in the primary.

Major General Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III, head of all intelligence says:
Pentagon NOT hit by a plane
WTC 7 brought down by explosives
Media in America is controlled
A terrible pilot hits pentagon accounting office holding records of missing 3 trillion in oil for money scheme & missing 2.3 trillion in DOD expenses
Pentagon debris a single 3 foot engine Proven not related to 757
FBI took all recordings & refuses to show
The FCC had all records on criminals like Paulson, Geithner, Ruben, Summers & others engaging in that illegal activity. But all the records of those illegal trades were destroyed when WTC 7 was brought down by thermite on 9/11!
911 was a public snuff film used to shock the public and enact the end of the Bill of Rights & invasion of oil bearing countries, & make money for private companies like Halliburton, (stock from 10 to 50 a share)!
By destroying the WTC, they were able to cover up theft of gold bullion & destroy illegal financial transaction records performed just prior to the attacks
Silverstein spends 140 million to make 7 billion almost over night; Silverstein said it was demolished by explosives, (pull it)
It reminds me of CIA man Byrd, the owner of TX School Book Depository, who turned a 2.5 million insider purchase into 26 million dollars thanks to JFK assassination!

In October a visually-impaired gamer sued Sony, alleging that it wasn't fulfilling its responsibilities under U.S. law to provide access to the disabled. The reasoning depending on finding that Sony's products constitute a public accommodation. A judge said they aren't.
Plaintiff Alexander Stern sued Sony, Sony Computer Entertainment America and Sony Online Entertainment in federal court for the Central District of California, alleging that "his visual processing impairments prevent him from fully enjoying the video games manufactured by Sony, some of which are played on gaming systems with internet connections through which players in different locations can communicate and play with or against one another."
The court, in granting Sony's motion to dismiss on Feb. 8, refused to go so far as to say any game Sony currently makes constitutes a public accommodation. A public accommodation doesn't need to be publicly owned -very loosely speaking it can be a grocery store, hotel or office building whose use is generally available to the public. In a broad sense, we were talking about applying that standard to a virtual environment.
So as you can imagine, allowing the suit to proceed on this finding would have wide ramifications for games publishers. Instead, the court found Sony "is not a place of public accommodation," and therefore is not in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

For 1966 Dodge unleashed a full advertising campaign detailing the Dodge Rebellion. Although we aren't sure exactly what Dodge was rebelling against, it involved secret meetings, Dodge Monacos and the very 60s blonde spokeswoman of the rebellion. Sign us up.
Introduced in September of 1964 for the 1965 model year, the Dodge Monaco was initially designed to compete in the personal luxury car segment. A year later, in 1966 the Monaco became the Dodge's all around full size luxury car available in a variety of body configurations. The Monaco 500 shown in this classic advertisement was available only as a two door pillar less hardtop.
In 1966 Dodge decided to market their Monaco along with their other offerings as implements of the "Dodge Rebellion". Who Dodge was rebelling against or why remains unknown, but the propaganda of the cause, like the ad seen here, remains very amusing. During the "Secret Meeting" we find out why the Monaco 500 was advertised as the model with "posh, power and pizzazz".
Although not alive during the time of the original Dodge rebellion I can attest that the 1966 Monaco 500 is actually everything the advertisement claims. I spent some time behind the wheel of a black 1966 Monaco 500 a few years back when it was owned by a family. This week I stumbled across that exact car for sale on Craigslist, reminding me of the Dodge Rebellion ads and the joy of driving the Monaco. Considering how to justify repurchasing the Monaco this week, it was made very clear that it is now I that want the 1966 Dodge Rebellion, instead of the other way around.

Vietnam intensified its grip on old and new media through a campaign of censorship, surveillance, and imprisonments. Central Propaganda Department officials held weekly meetings with top newspaper editors, outlining news agendas and identifying banned topics. The list of prohibited topics expanded to include criticism of the government's economic management, land conflicts between the state and local communities, and the business dealings of the prime minister's daughter, CPJ sources said. Courts handed down harsh prison sentences to six journalists in 2012. Nguyen Van Khuong, a reporter with the Vietnamese daily Tuoi Tre, was sentenced to four years in prison on trumped-up bribery charges filed after he investigated police corruption. Bloggers Dinh Dang Dinh and Le Thanh Tung were sentenced to six and five years respectively for postings deemed critical of the ruling Communist Party. Three other bloggers--Nguyen Van Hai, Ta Phong Tan, and Phan Thanh Hai--were sentenced to terms ranging from four to 12 years on anti-state charges related to their critical journalism. An executive decree pending in late year threatened a further clampdown on the Internet, including new prohibitions against pseudonymous or anonymous blogs. In a September directive, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung called for police to identify and arrest contributors to three critical, politically oriented blogs that had been operated anonymously. The directive also ordered that the sites be blocked domestically.
In each of the past several years, the authorities have ramped up their crackdown on critical journalists, focusing heavily on those who work online. All but one of the reporters imprisoned in 2012 published blogs or contributed to online news publications.
CPJ ranks Vietnam as the sixth worst country in the world to be a blogger. Detentions, harassment, and severely restrictive laws targeting the Internet have earned the country the designation.
A September 12 government directive singled out three political blogs for publishing news seen as anti-state. Officials were instructed to investigate and punish any bloggers found to contribute to the sites. The three sites were also blocked domestically as a result of the directive.
Vietnamese bloggers have migrated to social media platforms such as Facebook in response to website censorship and surveillance. Vietnam's Facebook use jumped more than 40 percent over the prior year, reaching 9.8 million users, according to November 2012 data from Socialbakers, the social media analytics company.

10:27:26.561631 IP 127.0.0.1.33607 > 127.0.0.1.80: Flags [S], seq 1222093882, win 32792, options [mss 16396,sackOK,TS val 454628 ecr 0,nop,wscale 6], length 0

Since machine "0" was deployed with MAAS via Juju, I don't think it would be running MAAS as well. To troubleshoot the issue, I created a SSH tunnel on machine "0" listening on port 80 (localhost) to the MAAS server port 80, e.g. 80:MAAS-Server-IP:80. After that,
juju status changed to show the new machine out of the pending state:
agent-state: not-started
dns-name: test5.master
instance-id: /MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-fe882bb2-b100-11e2-ba1c-52540089abb8/
instance-state: unknown
All this to say, can someone please help me understand why the deployed machine "0" is attempting a connection to localhost port 80 rather than the MAAS server? Is this due to the fact I am running Juju and MAAS on the same server?

It is appreciation, an extension of a thought that you had on a chilled Sunday morning while sipping some coffee, a constent reminder that what you currently know is a continuation of what you knew yesterday, last month, last year or better yet last millennium
"the world was made up of four substances"
Maybe if you understand them you might be able to see the world as he saw it, but then again why would you want to....
|Made up of four substances (13/02/17 10:29:38)
Why would we want to see the world as he did? Perhaps because it's a world in its most original form, I mean it's the raw materials there, without all the (mis)conceptions that ages of (propaganda? advertizements?) have added to it.
Anyway it is much more fun.

Four elements indeed. It is 92+ (not to mention the isotopes), and their compounds, and their processes, and the energy.
Trumpism, Erdoganism, Brexism, Putinism: Gifted people regressing into Greek philosophy. Religion and light-weight emotionality as the driving forces in politics: Dark ages are ahead.

Experimental science is having a hard time nowadays. It takes too long and costs too much money. Speculations are much cheaper and more rewarding, specially if there is political and religious support.

we need not concern ourselves with speculations, religion and politics.
we need to use the above and concentrate on one block at a time with precise bureaucratic efficiency.

as a side note, your thoughts on quantum biology?
|Re: hey, serious old man (25/02/17 18:03:24)
Inventions are not made by "the people" or by politically appointed committees or by order. Truths defined by politicians or administrators may perform poorly when tested in the field, but may still be enforced. Trumped through, as you might say these days.
I saw through my career, now successfully terminated by me, that there has been a strong decrease in the ability of planning and performing experimental work. I think this has been a deliberate process because it has increased the power of politics and decreased the power of rationality. Science rating has been reduced to countable publications and press releases. Hyping of irrelevant scientific findings is the most common method of cheating in science. Nobody gets caught for that.
So lay off the philosophy and let people spend time reading science and spending time in the field and in well-equipped labs (now considered too expensive even though basic equipment is cheaper than ever).

Now there is a POTUS who is inaccurate about facts. There are others - and they are believed because the press, who should be policing such behaviour, is part of the inaccuracy process.
The recent terror in Sweden - as reported by POTUS? It just didn't happen. That's news for the POTUS, and a misunderstanding or fabrication for others.
So there is a need for the opposition to be accurate and reliable with facts. It could mean presentation of all the data for those interested, instead of cherrypicking of sensational or convenient single events. IMHO philosophy should be a help to live in the modern world - looking at today and looking forward - disconnected from special interests.

As reality television has shown us in recent years, life with all its twists and turns is in essence a "real world" laboratory. Triumphs and tragedies cause various positive and negative reactions that ripple through family circles, as well as communities. When life is simple, the impact people have on each other can be a blessing. But when Therapist with a mother and child tragedy and suffering strike, it is not uncommon for some to take anger out on the most innocent and weak among us – children. The challenges of doing research and science-informed clinical work with children and their families are daunting. Scientific inquiry is often thwarted by the complex problems and conditions that children and families face. In fact, according to the National Research Council11/18/2013

Better Diagnosis Coming for Children with PTSD
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 30, 2013) - The following column appeared in Lexington Herald-Leader on Sunday, April 28.
By Ginny Sprang
The American Psychiatric Association will recognize traumatic stress in preschoolers younger than age six as a unique form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) when it releases its newest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) at its annual conference in May. The DSM is the manual that is used by clinicians and researchers to diagnose and classify mental disorders.
Although PTSD — a traumatic stress response to exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation — has been reported in preschool and school age children for many years, the current criteria used to diagnose the condition was developed and field tested for adults and adolescents (15 and older). Data from published studies provided evidence that the current standards for diagnosing PTSD in young children may be insufficient.
Many clinicians found the criteria difficult to apply to young children and not...04/30/2013
Center on Trauma and Children Moves to College of Medicine
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 26, 2013) - The Center on Trauma and Children (CTAC) has moved to the College of Medicine to facilitate and enhance the translational research activities of the center.
CTAC is dedicated to the enhancement of the health and well-being of children and their families through research, service and dissemination of information about child abuse and trauma.
"We are excited about the opportunities at the College of Medicine to work in an interdisciplinary setting and pursue our goal of improving the lives of children and families affected by trauma," said Ginny Sprang, executive director of CTAC.
More than three million children in the United States are impacted by traumatic events each year. Research shows that multiple factors increase the likelihood of trauma exposure including poverty, stress, depression, natural disasters and substance abuse. Each child - whether they experience neglect, injury or violence - is profoundly altered as a result.

Private schemes and operators are playing a growing role in pension systems. This trend is likely to intensify in future years as governments come to face the consequences of ageing populations on their public pension systems. Already in most OECD countries private schemes play an important role as complements to the public system.
The Working Party on Private Pensions has decided to create a Task Force devoted to personal pension plans. Given the important role of the insurance sector in this market, the Task Force will report both to the Working Party on Private Pensions and the Insurance Committee. Therefore, this Task Force will include representatives from ministries, official supervisory authorities and the private sector, competent for Insurance or/and Pensions. The Task Force first meeting was held on 18 June 2001 at the OECD headquarters.
A selection of issues to be handled by the Task Force is given hereafter:
Role of the personal pension schemes in the financing of pensions (as compared to savings and to other pension contributions and benefits, contracting-out effects ...)
Role of insurance in the personal pension plan market
Pension products analysis (current range of pension products and their technical specificities, trends, innovation, guarantees, fees ...)
Advantages and drawbacks of the personal pension plans development (efficiency, flexibility, social risk, financial risk ...)
Marketing and distribution issues (mis-selling issues, consumer protection, role of the intermediaries, transparency and disclosure, commissions ...)
Annuities issues (different types of annuities, mandatory annuitization, indexed annuities ...)

It looks like Oscar nominated actress Amy Adams has a budding fashionista on her hands – 2-year-old daughter Aviana Olea!
My daughter definitely has a strong opinion about her clothes," Adams, 38, told PEOPLE backstage at the Calvin Klein spring 2013 collection show in New York on Thursday. "She really loves getting dressed up and loves the whole idea of it. She wants to dress up everyday."
The doting mom, who prides herself on her patient parenting, adds her mini-me's style matches her personality.
"She's a happy girl, who is very feminine and loves putting on dresses," says Adams. "Her favorite dresses are the ones with lots of color. She absolutely loves them."
And not only does little Aviana love girly frocks, but she also adores her mommy's fancy footwear.
"She plays with my shoes and tries to walk around the house in my high heels," says the Trouble with the Curve star. "I have some pretty dangerous ones and I tell her, 'Sweetie, high heels are dangerous.' When she grows up, she'll know that it will still be the case."

Pagan Melodies Lyrics
They folded your hands, you learn to obey. you learn when to sit, when to stand, when to pray, until the band begins to play. The time of man has come now form a line. youve been convicted, tried so step aside. you're already headed for the fire. Theres no running away. You gotta have faith. Your crooked robes cant hide the darkness that lurks inside. Such great hypocrisy can't be denied. You're a tear in an ocean, you're afraid and you're pleading for something right. They stole all you knew of something better, now keeping numb is all you're after. A dull ache in place of ringing laughter.

Rock guitarist Ronnie Montrose, who formed the band that bore his name and performed with some of rock's heavy hitters, has died.
His booking agent, Jim Douglas, says Montrose died at his home in Millbrae on Saturday. He was 64.
Douglas says Montrose had been in declining health for some time battling prostate cancer and what Douglas termed "personal demons.''
Besides forming his own band in 1973, Montrose also performed with a number of rockers, including Sammy Hagar, Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs and the Edgar Winter Group.
Douglas says Montrose was working on releasing a new first DVD and starting a spring tour that would have taken him across the U.S.
Montrose is survived by his wife, Leighsa, as well as a son, a daughter and five grandchildren. Services are pending.
His website announced the death this way:
Local news from across Southern California
A few months ago, we held a surprise party for Ronnie Montrose's 64th birthday. He gave an impromptu speech, and told us that after a long life, filled with joy and hardship, he didn't take any of our love for granted.
He passed today. He'd battled cancer, and staved off old age for long enough. And true to form, he chose his own exit the way he chose his own life. We miss him already, but we're glad to have shared with him while we could.

Entertainment media tells love stories every day, in countless novels, poems, songs, plays, musicals, television shows, and films. What's the gaming industry's contribution? There's a new Leisure Suit Larry sequel coming soon.
A slight exaggeration, perhaps, as the RPG genre in particular has been tentatively weaving romantic involvement into games for years and Max Payne 2 fancies itself a Bogart film on LSD. 2003's consensus Game Of the Year, Star Wars: Knights Of the Old Republic (KOTOR), prominently featured two potential love stories and even a muted lesbian flirtation. Yet "More Romance!" has not become a bullet-point on the back of any boxes. Fear of the unknown, and of a backlash from the teen male demographic, have largely kept the mushy stuff out of games.
The evidence is mounting that this is not simply outdated thinking, but invalid on its face. Never mind the fact that the testosterone-heavy Xbox user base snapped up KOTOR like it was going out of style. "Most of the sixteen year old guys I knew in high school cared more than a little about receiving the admiration of women," says David Freeman, president of game consultancy The Freeman Group.
To some, that's no secret. Japan has long done brisk business in "dating sims" with a heavily male audience, and players wax poetic about the relationships in various Final Fantasy installments. KOTOR studio BioWare has made it a calling card, with strong romance threads in four other titles since 2000 and plans in place to keep the trend rolling in upcoming releases.
All the while, publishers fret that they haven't done enough to expand their outreach to female gamers. From feel-good to hanky-soaking, women buy love stories by the gross in other media. The gap between games and emotional storylines isn't technologytitles that made a conscious effort to have an emotional impact have been making players laugh and cry for over 20 years. "One problem involved in pulling something like this off is that it requires that the writer has skills equivalent to those evidenced by those of the best writers in film and television," Freeman says.
The real hang-up comes from the devil on every publisher's shoulder, threatening that taking a risk on a game meant to evoke Valentine's Day will instead conjure up April Fool's Day. We heard several voices in the industry terrified of being burned by a "chick flick" mentality that sends men to another aisle and still fails to rope in the more casual female market.
While the upcoming Advent Rising includes subplots with the protagonist's fiancée, "I'm not going to tell you we put that there to woo women," says Ken Gold, marketing VP at Majesco. Majesco is choosing to stick with safer, better-charted territory to appeal to women, such as puzzle games for Gameboy Advance.
Despite the hesitation, The Sims is a solid reminder of the potential to capture a female audience. "No one suspected it would appeal to so many women, because there was no precedent for a gaming having that kind of feminine draw," says Freeman. And draw it has, pulling legions of women to play a game that is, fundamentally, about building relationships.
Still, studios aren't beating down publisher's doors with romance subplots, because in the main, they're not being asked. "It's hard to convince a publisher that there are a lot of people out there who would be buying this," says Tim Cain, joint CEO of Troika Games.
Even with its time-tested experience selling romance in its games, BioWare won't promise that more love equals more sales. ESA numbers put the female gaming population at 39 percent of the whole, but in the fantasy RPG space BioWare plays in, the company puts the numbers closer to 10 percentand holding. "We're aware for a portion of our player base that our romances are really important, but I don't think it's a selling feature," says David Gaider, senior writer.
As romantic stories do creep in under the radar, the industry will have to feel out the boundaries of acceptable content. Enough games have featured strippers and prostitutes to work out rating and retail sensibilities for the seedier side of love, but no one is entirely sure if Bentonville will stock a game that gets much more intimate than The Sims: Hot Date, and Wal-Mart didn't answer our hypothetical.
And don't forget that just a few weeks ago the "family entertainment" of 90 men smashing into one another was scandalously marred by the appearance of a bare breast. The same moral sledgehammer awaits a publisher who pushes the boundaries. "Who wants to unnecessarily exclude large groups of potential buyers by giving a higher rating to a game just for the sake of one or two moments?" says Freeman.
Given the negative press games such as GTA Vice City have received for less-than-nurturing relationships between men and women, a unique opportunity exists to establish higher ground and a better example with games that project more traditionally caring relationships. Just don't expect the sea change to be immediate. "The six o'clock news is not going to run that story," says Michael Goodman, senior analyst at Yankee Group.
Further out on the curve lies the prospect of including a fully-developed same-sex relationship in a mainstream game. To date, most game romances have toed a traditional hero-and-princess or male-hero-and-female-sidekick model. While KOTOR put a crack in that particular plate of glass and older titles such as Fear Effect 2 provided girl-girl interaction for a voyeuristic audience, once again the market seems willing to sit back and let EA scout and win new ground. The Sims 2 is very on-the-record about enabling same-sex relationships, in screenshots posted and breathlessly re-posted 'round the world.
The romance question can be summed up quite simply. How long are publishers willing to consider romance an occasional gimmick or a niche phenomenon, then sit back in slack-jawed amazement when another Sims installment pockets untold millions by further allowing players to create close, personal relationships?
Sex sells, but in the main, the gaming industry has steered clear of the cuddlier aspects of sex and gone straight for the jiggle. "The jiggle has proved to sell much better," says Billy Pidgeon, senior analyst with Zelos Group. "But unsurprisingly, it's the new, original things that break out of the pack and become hit games."
When we called one major publisher, two of its reps simply swore up and down that it had no games in its lineup with a barest shred of romance and declined to elaborate. James Ohlen, director of design for BioWare, points out that there is no setting, no market, no audience too rough and tumble to embrace a little companionship. "Even Conan the Barbarian has romantic interests."
