Would you like your child to learn a musical instrument and be taught by a highly-qualified professional music instrumental teacher? Would you like to offer your child the opportunity to perform before an audience in a relaxed, informal recital evening? Maybe your child may wish to take advantage of gaining outstanding advice from a visiting distinguished professional in one of our masterclasses, which are held regularly.
If this appeals to you, the Geelong Music Teachers' Association (GMTA) is here to help.
Music Teachers
GMTA member teachers teach a wide range of instruments including piano, guitar, violin and other string instruments, woodwind and brass instruments, and voice is offered as well. We welcome you to browse through our teacher listings.
Recital Evenings
At our recital evenings which are held regularly, there is a wide range of musical experience. Pianists, violinists, flautists, classical guitarists, clarinetists and also group items ( e.g: piano duets, string quartets) perform to appreciative audiences of family and friends in an encouraging, casual, non-threatening environment. Some of the performers are at the elementary stage, others very advanced. All in all, these recitals are fun nights giving the children the opportunity to perform themselves and enjoy listening to others.
A masterclass is like a workshop where a student plays to a visiting distinguished music professional who assists the child with elements of performance….. articulation, interpretation, technical problems etc. Master classes are conducted with a small group of students. The masterclass offers students new insights into their own performances and provides the opportunity for them to listen to others.
Teacher Professional Development
Our GMTA teachers are offered professional development from time to time, often focusing on new curriculum initiatives by the Australian Music Examinations Board.
Annual Dinner
Towards the end of the teaching year, GMTA members and friends enjoy a special evening catching up with others and listening to musical performances and guest speakers.

"I'm retiring in a couple of months," my boss said recently. Managers come and go as organisations are restructured, people take promotions, retirement or new posts outside the company. But I'll be sad to see him go – he has been a great manager over the past few years.
It got me thinking about what you need to do when your line manager changes. Here are 7 things to consider when you get a new boss.
1. Introduce Yourself
You've just got a new boss. It sounds obvious, but if your new manager is taking on a huge team, they may not have time in the first few weeks to get round everyone for personal introductions. Take the initiative and go and introduce yourself.
2. Introduce The New Boss to Others
Starting work in a new company can be daunting, even for very senior managers. Help them make connections and meet the movers and shakers in your company. Don't engineer meetings, but if they ask about something say, "Have you met so and so from Department X? They would normally be the main point of contact for that." You can then open up the conversation and offer to introduce them, if they would like you to.
3. Google Them
Don't worry, they'll be expecting it.
They'll probably Google you too, especially if you're known as a key player in their new team.
4. Explain Your Current Projects
What are you working on right now? Get some time in their diary to explain your projects, their benefits and their status. Talk about the key stakeholders and the project sponsors. Share your current issues and what you are doing about them, and make them aware of anything urgent that needs their attention.
If your new boss is going to play a critical part in some of your projects, you'll want to add them to any relevant meetings or circulation lists, but let them know that you'll do that before you start filling their calendar.
This pack of project management templates for stakeholder management will help you set up your new relationship for success by working out what they need to be involved with and how.
5. Explain Your Take on the Team
I recommend you only do this if asked, but a number of my previous new managers have asked for my views on the strengths and weaknesses of the team as a whole, and how the department is perceived by other departments. They obviously take this 'insight' under advisement, but for someone new to the company this can be useful information to know.
6. Ask What They Need From You
Do they expect weekly status reports? Do they expect you to attend monthly conference calls? With a different manager comes a different way of working, so don't expect them to stick to the same schedule of progress updates and meetings that you had with your last boss. Be upfront and ask what they are expecting. Then you won't get caught out.
7. Be Easy to Work With
You've just got a new boss, but that boss has just got a new team. Every new manager (every manager, really) wants team members and direct reports who are easy to work with. Deliver on your promises. Be honest, punctual and approachable. Keep your sense of humour in check until you know how they will react to your jokes. Bring them problems only with a selection of solutions and a recommendation. Accept their decisions, but challenge where you think it is appropriate.
Remember, your job is to make your boss look good. They also have a manager who expects status reports and your role is to make your manager's job easy by providing whatever it is that he or she needs in order to be a success. After all, if they are successful in their role, the success reflects well on you and the team. And they will remember you.

South West Arty Crafter's Feb Hobby Art Oriental Poppy and Whacking!
Good Morning....After all the storms it's lovely to see the sunshine. And it's such a lovely day here in Plymouth today I have all the windows open and the heating turned off may even get the washing out on the line without it being blown away!!!
The above card ia a lovely easy make although it does require a bit of prep I die cut 4 circles making each 1/4 inch bigger then the previous one then 2 squares the white one is 7 inches the red is 7.1/4 inches yes sorry I am old school and never got to grips with centimetres!
I inked versamark black inkpad and stamped the image this is Hobby Art's Oriental Poppy rather lovely I thought. Then heat embossed it to seal it and give it a gloss surface then once dry I used Tim Holtz Distress stains and just whacked the colour onto the card to make the splats. I have the Lovely Eileen Goodwin to thank for showing me how to do this technique if you get a chance do visit her FB Page She runs the most marvellous workshops and my goal at some point this year will be to attend one .
Once the colour has dried make a cut vertically The first circle is 5 inches so having made the first cut all you do is make the next cut on the left hand side of the flower leaving 2 inches at the top and 3 inches at the bottom .....the right side you make the cut 3 inches from the top and 2 inshes from the bottom you should now have asymmetric cuts ...Using sticky foam pads, take the left top and place it just inside the red 5.1/4 inch circle place the matching left piece under it just so you can see the red card between them showing through. now do the same with the right side .....once this is done and you are happy just use the rest of the foam pads to layer the other two circles one on top of the other and finally tape to the white card mat and layer on to the red and then finally stick onto an 8x8

An Example L'Etape Training Plan
The idea of this post is to give a bit of structure to my training. There are two main reasons for doing this:
- Using tried and tested routines and workouts is, well, tried and tested. It works and the plans have been created experts who know what works.
- It gives you purpose. With a written down, solid plan in place you have something to work towards with weekly and monthly goals. It's like taking on a mammoth project at work. If you look at the end goal without breaking it down into manageable chunks it's scary.
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" – Benjamin Franklin
The General Idea
There are multiple aspects of training for an event like L'Etape. There is the physical side, such as cycling and gym work. The psychological side, such as metal fatigue, anxiety and stress. Then there is the nutritional side, such as for the event and leading up to the event.
Let's take a look at each area in more detail before outlining a training plan for L'Etape.
You need to train for several aspects of fitness; Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Cardio Fitness.
- Muscular Strength – Required for the steep hill climbs, where your cadence will drop and every pedal stroke will feel like you are doing heavy squats in the gym. Guess what kind of training will help with this!
- Muscular Endurance – Necessary because you're going to be riding for many hours, below maximum output. Your muscles in the legs need to be able to pedal continuously for that duration but also your whole body needs to be conditioned. Your back, neck, arms and core play a massive part. If you're not comfortable, you'll mentally fatigue quickly.
- Cardio Fitness – You will need plenty of endurance training to ensure your heart and lungs can continue working effectively for hours at a time, but you'll also need to be able to handle hard bouts of high intensity, high heart rate climbing and recover quickly while still pedalling.
Your psychological performance is also very important in order to perform well.
- Anxiety – There is nothing worse than being worried because you aren't even sure you can ride the total distance. Completing the distance in terms of elevation gain and KMs ridden prior to the race is one way to boost your confidence.
- Stress – The worry of being uncertain if your training plan is any good can add stress to your training. Take away that stress by sticking to a tried and tested plan that other people have successfully used to complete the same type of event as you are doing.
- Uncertainty – Knowing how to pace yourself in the race and fuel your body correctly adds confidence that you can do it. Having a plan and sticking to it come race day will mean you know what to do and all you have to do is execute that plan. This is why preparation is critical to success.
- Weight – If you are planning on riding through the mountains you will need to look at your weight. Being massively over weight will hinder your chances of completing the event. With a bit of work you can get big performance gains by reducing your weight in a sensible way. No crash diets.
- Fuelling – With the event being so long you have to fuel right to last the duration. Without adequate energy and hydration it doesn't matter how fit you are. Working out the best strategy is a very individual thing. I'll share what I have found works in more detail later.
The Training Plan Details
I'm going to break this down into 3 areas:
- Cycling – Time on your bike, spinning classes and stationary bike
- Gym – Strength and conditioning and core workouts
- Other – Other activities, like running, swimming, massage, foam rolling
These are the details of what kinds of cycle training I'll be aiming for over the coming 6 months.
Long Rides – 1 per weekStarting with 60KMs and building all the way up to 180km (race distanace)
Spin Class – 1 per week to give me some variety
Watt Bike – 1 per week. These will vary in structure from shorter more intense intervals to longer tempo efforts
I'll be aiming for 1 gym session a week which will include a lot of leg work and core strength. I will be changing it every 4 weeks or so most likely, but here is an example of what it will include.
Note: To see the actual workouts I complete each week, take a look at the ***weekly breakdown.
- Squats: 4 sets of 12-20 reps per set @ 60-80kg
- Circuit, 30 sec per exercise: mountain climbers, plank, plank arc walks. 30 sec rest. Repeat 3 times
- Box Jumps + Walking Lunge super set: 3 sets of 8 box jumps + 12 walking lunges with 20kg kettle bells
- Leg Curl Single Leg: 4 sets of 12-20 reps per set. One leg at a time on the machine. 10-15kg
- TRX Plank Side Movement + Mountain Climbers: 2-3 sets of 20-30 reps of each move
- Back Extension + Extended Twists: 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps of each move
There is nothing too fancy here. Just basic moves that mimic in many ways what I'll be doing on the bike. For example, mountain climbers and planks are great core work because it's like what you'll face on the bike.
Squats and lunges help develop strength while maintaining good core stability for those hard hills and box jumps will help develop explosive power.
I'm sure that I'll adapt as go along so you'll be able to see all the details in the ***weekly training plans.
My other workouts include:
- Swimming – I want to keep this up because I'm a weak swimmer and I might be doing a few triathlons this year too. It's also a nice way to end the workout with a swim and a trip to the steam room.
- Boxing – I used to box and have wanted to get back into it. The last time that I boxed I managed to get my 10km PB down to 39:05, way below what I was able to do with just run training. I attribute this success to the high intensity intervals in boxing, losing some muscle mass as a result of the training and being able to maintain a higher heart rate for longer. Read more about why I believe ***cross training is so important.
- Running – Having done a few triathlons I like to keep my eye on the ball with some run training. I also belong to a club so I'm going to try and get a few runs in. It's something that I find difficult in the colder, winter evenings though…

The Bible repeatedly tells us that God is our helper. The question is, do we really trust God to help us? It's easy to respond right away that we trust Him, but when it comes to practically applying this truth to our everyday life—leaning on the Holy Spirit to help us in every area of our lives—we often struggle to do it.
As born-again believers in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit—God's Spirit—lives in our spirit. In John 16:7, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is our "Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby)" and that He wants "to be in close fellowship" with us (AMPC).
It's so important for us to know that we can have a close, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirt, that He will communicate with us. I went to church for many years and had no idea that I could overcome my problems and live with real peace and joy because the Holy Spirit lived in my spirit. It was life-changing for me when I got the revelation that He wanted to lead me in God's will for my life and He would enable me to do everything I needed to do.
The truth is if we really believe God is our helper and He's willing to help us no matter what situation we're in, then we have no reason to worry or get overwhelmed.

I'll let you in on another secret: You need to ask God for help because the Holy Spirit is not the type to barge into your life and take over.
Have you ever had someone try to push their opinions or their agenda on you? They may or may not know what they're talking about, and they may not even be really interested in helping you do what needs to be done, but they sure have a lot to say about what you're doing wrong!
That's not what the Holy Spirit does.
The Holy Spirit knows the answer to every problem, and He will even help you through each one. But He won't give you His advice unless you ask for it. In other words, the humble get the help.
Every Problem Matters to God
Jesus said in John 15:5 (NIV), "Apart from me you can do nothing." And that's so true. But did you know He's not holding out on you? God actually likes it when we ask for His help. And God not only wants to help us with our big problems, He also wants to help us with the little things in life. That's wonderful news because sometimes we allow the little things to get us frustrated and upset. One of the best ways to go through the day is to pray often, "Help me, Lord. Help me. Help me!"
In the Psalms, we frequently see King David going to God for help. For example, Psalm 40:13 (MEV) says, "Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me!"
Notice that David was not only bold enough to ask God for help, but he was also confident that God would answer his prayers. We can learn from that too.
In Psalm 43:5, David says, "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I will yet give Him thanks, the salvation of my countenance and my God" (MEV).
You and I have so many opportunities to feel sad or discouraged and have a bad attitude, but God wants us to stay strong in Him, like David did. Those who do will eventually come out on top, because there's no way the enemy can hold you back if you will trust God and keep your hope in Him.
Learn How to Trust Your Helper
It's comforting to know God will help you get through the hard times of life. His grace and strength will sustain you while you're waiting for your breakthrough. Isaiah 41:10 says He will keep you strong and retain you with His victorious hand of rightness and justice (AMPC).
Even when you're tempted to think, It's not going to do me any good to pray after the way I've acted, don't let that stop you from asking for God's help. Because when you go to the Father in prayer, you don't go in your name—you go in the name of Jesus.
Hebrews 4:16 (MEV) says "Let us then come with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." And Psalm 23:3 (AMPC) says, "He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him―not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake" (emphasis mine).
When you're hurting, in trouble, or waiting for answers in your life, you need to believe that your Helper, the Holy Spirit is with you and He wants to help you. Stay in close fellowship with Him and ask Him for the help you need.
No matter what the circumstances may look like, believe He's working on your behalf. He is your Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby—He's everything you need—and He's just waiting for you to ask.

Cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent cause of death worldwide. High blood pressure or hypertension is a risk factor for heart disease, and it affects at least one out of three people in the United States. As potentially damaging as it can be, hypertension is largely preventable. Though many popular foods cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and chronic hypertension, others can lower or prevent high blood pressure naturally.
Sesame oil has demonstrated beneficial effects on blood lipid concentrations and arterial blood pressure. In a 2012 study, participants who consumed sesame oil achieved short- and long-term lower blood pressure readings with noticeable differences within an hour of ingestion. The exact mechanism by which sesame oil lowers blood pressure isn't clear. Researchers believe the antioxidants and healthy fats in the oil may play a role.

Changed // A Musing on Dolls
by Carolyn Srygley-Moore
The cartoon sketches are squealing.
I am watching the shadows snake against the ceiling; hear your red absence walk
across the floor.
Early this morning I put my dolls away. You,
I do not miss you, you know it // I am glad
you have gone. The way you feel, when you cannot
shut your eyes, close your hands: that's only a thread of a habit, now,
a memory of heroin never tasted.
In the harvest of the journey, I realized the axis
along which the snowflake wheels
inhabited, even held fast,
my very center // But should you break away
(you broke away) the waltz gladly ended, rudely ended.
I put my dolls away.
It had changed you, the distant War, but I could only see it
in the darkness of your walk; you spoke of
Nothing. As one does not write
to the lover one loves, writes rather to the incidental
one-night-stand. I too put my loss aside, began gulping in
the grasses & the rivers & the blue blue sky. I looked in the baggage
car, it was piled to the hilt with limbs of the wounded,
like bits of tinder, remembered tree. The treerings, set loose,
took flight…
There is a given hope, stupid stupid hope,
that the human body is only the corpus of a doll. It changes you, true obsession,
or war. War in deserts without water, sand caked in the lines of your hand.
Somebody above you in rank reads all your letters.
There are no secrets. There is no truth like youth & beauty, betrayed,
like the figures on the Grecian Urn, stepping out from the clay
casket in one piece, & speaking dialect. Then
laughing like the cartoon, little colored things, in motion // like
landmines in their implosion // children seeking silver blown to bits.
Shut up, you say: to your eyes, your hands.
Put away the damned, the damning dolls.
There is peace somewhere right now, somewhere, but
molecules clash in the bone-cup of my palm.

Best way to improve muscle strength
Engaging in short, explosive leg contractions is the most effective way of strengthening muscles, Loughborough research reveals. The study, led by Dr Jonathan Folland, Reader in Human Performance and Neuromuscular Physiology at Loughborough University, is the first to directly compare short, explosive contractions lasting less than one second with sustained contractions lasting three seconds.
Yoga may be good for the brain
The New York Times
A weekly routine of yoga and meditation may strengthen thinking skills and help to stave off aging-related mental decline, according to a new study of older adults with early signs of memory problems. Most of us past the age of 40 are aware that our minds and, in particular, memories begin to sputter as the years pass. Familiar names and words no longer spring readily to mind, and car keys acquire the power to teleport into jacket pockets where we could not possibly have left them.

Is social media ruining our diet and exercise habits?
By Kate Hessong
Adults spend more time worrying about their weight than any other health concern. Americans also spend an average of three hours per day on social media. So it comes as no surprise that sites like Instagram and Pinterest are becoming hubs for diet and exercise research. But is social media really helping us meet our weight-loss goals, or is it causing us to make decisions that could be harming our bodies in the long run?
What athletes are eating, according to Google
Outside Magazine
When it comes to diets, Americans are fickle, fanatical, and not always well informed. And athletes are no exception — we have a tendency to view diets as a magic bullet, the missing link between us and a podium spot. Curious to see the evolution of popular diets, we ran a Google Trends search on four of the most prevalent ones among athletes — Paleo, gluten-free, raw, and ketogenic. Then, to make sense of it all, we talked to sports dietitian Christine Rosenbloom, who taught nutrition at Georgia State University for 30 years and authored a 2014 paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Nutrition Today on popular diets and athletes.

High-fat Mediterranean diet, not low-fat one, is how you lose weight
You don't need to be afraid of fat in food anymore, at least if it comes in the form of extra-virgin olive oil and other items from the Mediterranean diet. Fat is back, new research shows. This latest study, released in the new edition of Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, does not give you free reign to chow down on pizza or to have that second dessert, but it does give you license to have that egg for breakfast if you cook it in olive oil, rather than butter, and forgo the side of bacon or toasted white bread.

6 simple ways to reduce sugar intake
Fox News
Ice cream, apple pie, chocolate pudding — we all crave something sweet now and again. And while a little sweet treat can easily fit into a healthy diet, too much added sugar can have serious consequences. Several studies have shown that excess sugar in the diet contributes to an increased risk of developing heart disease and diabetes, increased triglycerides, weight gain and malnutrition. But how much is too much?
The surprising anti-aging benefits of fiber
Yahoo News
Could the fountain of youth be found in fiber? It's well documented that fiber — a type of carbohydrate that the body cannot digest — has numerous nutritional benefits, such as promoting a healthy digestive system, lowering cholesterol levels, and aiding in weight loss. And now, a recent study published in The Journals of Gerontology shows that eating the right amount of fiber from breads, cereals, and fruits can help keep diseases and disabilities at bay.

How sleep loss affects your heart
Getting too little sleep has been shown to have bad effects on the heart, and many studies have linked it to hypertension. Now, a small new study published in the journal Hypertension finds that shortened sleep is connected to some negative markers, especially when it occurs outside of typical nighttime hours. In the study, which was conducted at a University of Chicago sleep lab, 26 healthy young adults were assigned to a week of shortened sleep, with just five hours of shut-eye each night.
Too stressed to sleep? How to turn off your brain before bed
If you're like most millennials, you've been affected by stress-related sleep problems at some point or another, lying awake at night filled with anxiety about your career and the future. Often everyday worries about impending deadlines and your to-do list give way to bigger, more stressful questioning, "Is this job really what I want to be doing with my life? What if I quit? Will I ever discover what I'm truly passionate about?"
CDC: Obesity rates rising among women
HealthDay News
More American women than ever are obese, while the number of men carrying around far too many pounds has held steady, new research shows. And a second study finds U.S. teens are another group that continues to struggle with obesity. "Obesity remains a public health concern," said Cynthia Ogden, an epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. She worked on both reports.
Mice study hints at dietary supplement that may someday prevent aging
Potentially interesting new research, albeit in mice, discovers a dietary supplement containing a blend of thirty vitamins and minerals has anti-aging properties. The supplement — consisting of all natural ingredients widely available in health food stores — prevents and even reverses massive brain cell loss in mice, say researchers from McMaster University.

A dietary supplement containing a blend of thirty vitamins and minerals — all natural ingredients widely available in health food stores — has shown remarkable anti-aging properties that can prevent and even reverse massive brain cell loss, according to new research. It's a mixture scientists believe could someday slow the progress of catastrophic neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's.

Last week I wrote about Kent's Spelling Bee, and how preparing for it was hard for him and I.
Well, the Bee came and went, and I forgot to come back to post the results. He misspelled "morale" (he spelled it as "moral") and finished in 4th place—for me, it doesn't make sense, as I have always considered first, second and third place relevant, but fourth?—, which still qualified him to go to the State competition. That, of course, means more practice and hence more pain.

Realizing Uninterrupted Access to Healthcare Information via Multiple Devices [ Emory Healthcare ]
"In addition to the infrastructure automation and seamless integration, I have seen an increase in both cost savings and my own efficiency."
Bill Akins, Senior System Specialist
Human Centric Innovation
Enabling healthcare staff to view necessary information anytime and anywhere
Enabling safe access to patients' medical histories and healthcare information on critical patient care applications
Realizing 24/7 operations of a highly available healthcare system
Constructing VDI(*1) on the blade servers ensuring efficiency, availability and information protection
Emory Healthcare, a major healthcare group located in Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S., provides excellent healthcare services to members of the community through the Emory Healthcare Network that links healthcare institutions including hospitals, clinics and local healthcare providers. The core of this network consists of six hospitals, including Emory University Hospital. The number of employees in the entire group counts approximately 10,000. A total of 1,800 doctors in the group include around 70 specialists and 220 general practitioners who engage in primary care.
For its healthcare employees, establishing uninterrupted access to the healthcare information system is extremely important. In order to provide timely and accurate healthcare to individual patients while moving from room to room, bed to bed and patient to patient, they need to access the healthcare information system with four must-have (or mandatory) requirements: "access from anywhere", "from a wide range of devices", "at anytime" and of course, "securely".
The scale of the healthcare information system implemented in the Emory Healthcare Network is extremely large, consisting of more than 20 healthcare centers, over 10,000 users and personal computers and over 600 mobile workstations. 24/7 continuous operation is also a prerequisite, requiring IT infrastructure to be not only high-performing but also highly available.
To respond to these rigorous requirements, Fujitsu proposed a Citrix XenDesktop for desktop delivery with Egenera PAN Manager for hosting and managing the back-end environment and FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY BX900 in the data center, the blade server designed to accommodate changing business requirements quickly and easily. The remote desktop each user accesses runs on this server and screen/keyboard/mouse data is exchanged through the network to satisfy the business access requirements.
The remote desktop system in Emory Healthcare was designed to manage up to 25,000 managed desktops and 4,000-5,000 concurrent users. A safe and reliable remote desktop infrastructure capable of 24/7 continuous operation and compatible with the healthcare information protection standards was introduced.
As a result of its VDI initiative, Emory Healthcare has realized significant cost savings and avoided unnecessary capital and operational expenses.
Additionally, Emory has seen a dramatic improvement in the accessibility of desktop services as well as an 80 percent reduction in data center complexity.
Available from anywhere and from a wide range of devices
Thanks to the introduction of the remote desktop infrastructure, healthcare employees in the Emory Healthcare Network have seen huge improvements in their access to the healthcare information system.
Emory Healthcare's need for access "from anywhere" is also met by connecting mobile devices to wired and wireless LAN systems installed at hospitals and clinics. Its compatibility with Windows, iOS and Android enables access from a variety of mobile devices, including personal devices owned by the healthcare employees.
Auto recovery from failures in just a matter of minutes
What makes "anytime" possible are numerous redundant features equipped in the blade server. Since the power supply unit, exhaust fan and management blade (management server) are individually hot-swappable(*2), even when one of the units fails, it can be replaced without turning off the system. Even during system maintenance for upgrading the OS or middleware, the system does not need to be shut down. The system features significant additional characteristics, including resources that can be flexibly added as the number of users grows, auto recovery from hardware/software failures in just matter of minutes, a service level management function and secured business continuity through auto processing in the event of a natural disaster.
Egenera PAN Manager's single pane management window that scans over managed devices and virtual machines with a single screen requires only one person to perform the operational management even for such a large scale VDI. It does not require the increase of the staff even if the scale is expanded. As a result, the desktop related management costs were reduced by half according to Emory Healthcare's estimate.
Providing an environment that can be securely accessed 24/7 from anywhere and any device ― Emory Healthcare will continue to improve healthcare quality. Fujitsu provides Emory Healthcare with the "anytime" and "securely" accessible system and environment.

This week, the Washington Post reported that 70% of Fairfax County Public Schools have trailers - 135 schools - and that 14 schools have a double-digit number of trailers. Annandale High School has 17.
During my campaign, I frequently argued that the number of trailers in Fairfax County's Public Schools seemed to be exploding and was not acceptable. According to the Washington Post, trailer inventory in Fairfax County is up 38% since 2007. When I attended Hollin Hall Elementary, Waynewood Elementary, Stephen Foster Intermediate, and West Potomac High School, I rarely saw a trailer. We had four at West Potomac when it first opened, but I'm pretty sure they were gone when I graduated. There were no other trailers at any other school I attended.
Today, the opposite is true. Nearly every elementary school in my delegate seat has trailers or as the School Board prefers to call them - "modulars." My daughter at Waynewood has to attend 4th Grade in trailers next year. The picture to the right shows 12 trailers at Waynewood (there are less today). Many of these are nice classrooms, but I have also heard complaints from parents about problems in them such as air quality. The Washington Post noted problems with vermin and "wierd bugs," leaky roofs .
FCPS formally blames the lack of construction on the time needed to obtain construction permits. Construction money has to compete with every other expense in the school system including teacher salaries, programs for at-risk children, and special education. The root cause of the proliferation of trailers is that our school population is exploding while the school system is suffering from a significant lack of revenue and long-term investment. While building brick and mortar schools is more expensive in the short-term, in the long-term it is less expensive. The primary cause of exploding trailer use is a lack of investment in our schools.

Too Many Trailers
Posted by Scott A. Surovell at 7:27 AM

Could one of the reasons there is not enough money for schools is that Fairfax County likes to build Taj Mahal schools. As we are in a recession, it is a good time to build good, nice , usable schools that are not "state of the art". Building such a schools is not sustainable--especially in a recession. Fairfax County wake up..the boom days are gone for right now. Anytime the schools live beyond their means, it falls on the property owners to make up the difference.ReplyDelete

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Mayor Eric Garcetti said Friday his office is working to identify and help the estimated 100 migrant children who are believed to be in the Los Angeles area after being separated from their parents at the Mexican border by immigration authorities.
But he said the federal government is not providing any information about the children and there is no legal means for the city to compel it to do so.
Garcetti said his office believes the children in the city were being placed in group homes and foster care through organizations that are contracted with the federal government, and also that most of the children are believed to be "among the very youngest."
"They may be so young they cannot tell us who their parents are," Garcetti said while speaking to reporters at City Hall.
Garcetti said he was concerned the children separated from their families may not be reunited with their parents due to a possible lack of record keeping, and also said there was no clear plan on how or when the children would be returned to their parents.
President Donald J. Trump said Wednesday he was ending the much-criticized policy of separating children and their parents at the Mexican border when the parents are suspected of entering the country illegally.
Trump's new order requires immigrant families be detained together when they are caught entering the country illegally, although some of the details on how long they would be held were unclear. The order comes after the administration had faced bipartisan pressure to end the separation policy.

While the importance of working and studying hard are continually stressed, relaxation and fun are often looked as non-essential luxuries. While it is true that universities and colleges are places people go to learn, too much work and too little relaxation can have adverse effects, both physically and mentally. To perform your best, it is key to strike a balance between studying and fun. The following will give you tips on how to strike equilibrium between work and play.
Take a Day Off: I know that this concept might seem like nothing more than wishful thinking, but if you plan correctly it can be done. And it is important that it be done. Here's why: working every day of the week doesn't give your body a chance to actually process what you're learning. Don't believe me? Try this experiment: The next time you find yourself stuck on a problem or blocked on a paper, put it down and don't return to it for twenty-four hours. I'll be willing to bet that when you return to where you were stuck, you will be able to find the solution. Why? Because even as you are doing other things, your brain is still processing and working out the problem. Applying this concept by taking one day off a week will do wonders for your overall academic performance. Trust me.
Maintain Important Relationships: Everyone – no matter who they are or where they are in life – has the tendency to neglect friendships and other important relationships during periods of high stress. Students are no exception, with school often taking priority over everything else. This is a hazard that can be avoided with a little foresight. Give yourself an hour everyday (even if that hour is broken up into twelve five-minute periods) to return and make phone calls. This will allow you to keep in touch with people even when you don't have time to see them, and this is important to your mental well-being.
Don't Give Yourself a Guilt Trip: Students can be the ultimate guilt imposers on themselves. You went out and maybe didn't study as thoroughly as you would have liked. Your dinner plans ran into the time you had allotted for reading for class. Oh well. Chances are you had a good time and made some memories. As long as this isn't a pattern, one night of fun probably won't impact your academics all that much. Giving yourself a guilt trip won't help matters. Allow yourself to live a little.
The key to anything in life is balance. All work and no play is a poor philosophy that doesn't yield great results overall. Find a balance between the two and you will be a much happier and productive person.

It is the middle of winter and you have this deep craving for a piña colada, but it isn't quite the right drink for the season. What do you do? Mix up the holiday spice, a fun adaptation that's winter-worthy! This cocktail is utterly delicious, easy, and offers a taste of two seasons in one glass.
The holiday spice cocktail was created for Cîroc Vodka to feature the brand's coconut vodka. It includes coconut cream and pineapple juice for a touch of summer. Winter comes in via the comforting addition of milk and egg, which add to the creaminess, then it is all brought together with a few of the season's favorite spices. It mixes up quickly and would make a great addition to any holiday party.
- 1 1/2 ounces coconut vodka (Cîroc)
- 1/2 ounce cream of coconut
- 1/4 ounce pineapple juice
- 1 ounce milk (whole)
- 1 egg white
- 2 dashes cinnamon
- 2 dashes nutmeg
- 2 dashes allspice
- Garnish: coconut flakes
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
Combine the vodka, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, milk, egg white, and one dash of each of the spices in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure the egg is properly mixed.
Strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass.
Top with the remaining spices and coconut flakes.
Serve and enjoy!
Raw Egg Warning
Consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs poses a risk of food-borne illness.
- This drink is better when you use half of the spices in the shake, and reserve the remainder for a garnish on top. By doing this, you integrate the spices within the cocktail base while dressing up the drink perfectly. Adjust the spice uses and amounts to fit your tastes.
- Because this drink is not served over ice, it's best to chill your glass thoroughly before straining the drink. If you forget to put your glass in the freezer, simply place a couple of ice cubes in it while you're mixing, then dump them out.
- Coconut cream is not as sweet as cream of coconut, which is typically used in mixed drinks. If you are trying to cut sugar or want a more natural (unprocessed) ingredient, coconut cream is the better option. It is rich, has a buttery feel, and a great coconut flavor and it's relatively easy to make yourself.
- Adding the egg white gives the drink a lovely foam and adds to its creaminess. It does not create a really eggy flavor like eggnog (that comes mostly from the yolk).
- The key to safely drinking eggs is to ensure your egg is fresh. Do a quick water test by placing the egg in a glass of water; if it sinks, it's fresh.
Recipe Variations
- If you skip the spices, this recipe is a fantastic vodka piña colada that will work any day of the year.
- Some people do not like the thought of drinking raw egg, so skip it if you like. The milk and cream will still give the holiday spice a nice creaminess.
How Strong Is a Holiday Spice?
Like many flavored vodkas, Cîroc Coconut Vodka is bottled at just 70-proof, so it's a little lighter than the average vodka. With that and all the nonalcoholic ingredients, this cocktail is very mild. Its alcohol content should be around 11 percent ABV (22 proof), which is a lot like drinking a glass of wine, only far more delicious!

I don't know how he does it, but Riq Graves of Reek released a bucket load of new stuff this Friday. The Classic Tee was released for both boys and girls, it comes in a bazillion colors, more like 33 colors to be exact. And there's an attachment included for the sleeves and the waist, but can be worn without either attachment. I love these t-shirts! Also, the Daily Hoodie was released too for ladies and lads, and it come in two version, one with a picture of an inhaler and words saying Asthmatic Dept, the other version is plain. And there were some glasses released, the Classic Aviators which come with/without the browbar, and as usual, there are lots of options to customize these glasses. And the Augie Glasses are a nice pair of simple glasses with a bunch of customizable possibilities.
Also new poses by !BANG! What I really like about these poses is that they're kind of like walking poses, and I don't have enough movement type poses. I feel like I generally lean towards more modely type poses. So it was very freshing to see these.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a warm welcome by the Irish authorities and citizens as he arrived there for a brief visit on 23 September. In Dublin, he started his speech to the Indian diaspora by apologising for not being able to spend more time with them.
The Irish children sang Sanskrit Shlokas for him and Modi appeared impressed by the presentation. After that, he spoke to the people and said, "If this had happened in India, some people would have questioned the secularism."
Irish bachhe Sanskrit mein mantrochaar kar rhe hain, swaagat gaan ga rhe hain,wo ratterataaye shabd bol rhe the aisa mujhe nhi laga: PM Modiâ ANI (@ANI_news) September 23, 2015
Ireland mein to hum ye kar sakte hain, Hindustan mein karte to patani, secularism par sawaaliya nishaan khada ho jata: PM #ModiInIrelandâ ANI (@ANI_news) September 23, 2015
Modi said that Independence is a mutual legacy of both the countries and that they share common values.
Talking about the growing status of India on the world forum, he said that 'I' is the strongest in BRICS now. He added that the entire world is talking about India and that they agree the 21st century is the time for Asia's success.
In the beginning of his speech, Modi said, "I have heard that an Indian PM is visiting this country after a long gap of 60 years", and towards the end he said that he assures everyone in Ireland that it would not take 60 years for an Indian PM to visit the country again.

To get to the north of Spain, I had to return to Lisbon and catch a night train that took 12.5 hours – in total, it took around 20 hours from one hostel to another. I have no idea how people get a decent nights sleep on a train as I felt as though I was trying to fall asleep on a roller coaster.
What made me laugh on the way here was that whilst I was living in London my biggest concerns would be whether or not I could find matching shoes and be on time for work, whether or not my cut fingers would need stitching back together and whether or not to bother getting a Sainsburys meal deal for lunch. This time on my way to Spain, I faced the slightly bigger problem of will I wake up in Spain or France and I thought that it was a bit of a non-issue.

Wood Stock
Pick your deck material carefully; it can last over 20 years.
There are plenty of coastal locations where the new compositesmade by Trex and other companies would make intelligent deckingchoices. But on Nantucket, where a traditional look is preferred(if not required by code), we use only wood.
Even if you're using the new synthetics for the deck boardsthemselves, you'll still have to build supporting posts, beams,joists, and ledger boards from wood. So everything we've said aboutstructural stability and sealing still applies.
If you're using wood, don't consider anything that is notpressure-treated or naturally rot resistant. Pressure-treatedyellow pine is the most common decking material. Natural,rot-resistant woods such as mahogany, Douglas fir, and Brazilianhardwoods are expensive. But many of our customers prefer thembecause they are the most natural looking and they weatherbeautifully with little or no care.
You should expect 20 years of use from a deck properly plannedand built. And that's without applying special stains ortreatments. Some people love to see water bead up on treated decks,but I'm not a fan of unnecessary maintenance. You're paying forpressure-treated stock or for woods that naturally resist decay, sowhy spend Saturday spraying your deck with an expensive coating youdon't need? Take the money and play golf.

14 Jul Make Your Salon Style Stay
Walking out of the salon with a fresh cut and style is one of the best feelings. You feel unstoppable and ready to take on whatever life throws at you. Now, if there was a way for us to keep that feeling for more than one day….And there is!! We interviewed master stylist, Molly Carter, and she shared her tips and tricks for making that salon style stretch a little longer.
Salon to Gym
If you have fine and straight hair, then keep your dry shampoo on stock. It is really important to get your hair off your neck by putting it up in a high bun or ponytail. Just make sure the tips of your hair do not touch the back of your neck. I recommend the Save your Do head wrap or any moisture wicking headband. It does a great job getting your hair off the front of your face. When you get home, spray some dry shampoo on your roots and do a quick blow dry to freshen it all up. It will give you an extra 2 days of lasting style.
If you have textured hair, I also recommend you wrap your hair in a 'Save your Do.' I highly recommend it. If you have time, then pin curl your hair and then put on your headband. When you get home, take off the wrap but leave in your pin curls while you shower off. Wait for your hair to completely dry from your sweat, then take out the pin curls.
Make it Last While You Sleep
Bun it – Want to keep those subtle waves and curls. Tie your hair up with a loose bun before you call it a night.
Wrap it – Want to keep your hair straight and prevent your hair from curling. Use a wrap!
Pin curl it – Want to really make those curls last. Roll it or use some type of soft roller or flexi rod. The most comfortable and effective tactic is to pin curl it. This way you are not sleeping on a roller and it's won't be super tight.
5 Tips for healthy hair from a Master
- Do a deep hair treatment once a month
- Make sure you get a trim at a salon every 8 – 10 weeks
- Make sure you are not using too much heat (heat every day on your hair is not good)
- Be careful of hair tension, for example, if you wear your hair in a tight ponytail, don't wear in the same spot. Rotating your ponytail can help prevent breakage and hair loss
- Use hair products that do not have a lot of alcohol or additives in it.

Could the rumours of The Cure headlining Glastonbury 2019 actually be true?
While speaking to George Ezra in his latest podcast episode of 'George Ezra & Friends' – Emily Eavis has energised the rumours of the possibility of The Cure playing this year's Glastonbury Festival, by naming them as one of the first ever bands she got into.
Eavis has revealed Robert Smith's The Cure headlining the Pyramid Stage back in 1986 was one of the turning points for the legendary festival.
The festival organiser and daughter of its founder Michael Eavis discussed the history of the festival and the work that goes into making it happen.
The Shotgun singer asked Eavis if she remembers the moment of getting into music for herself rather than always being surrounded by it, Eavis replied: "I do actually… I was born in '79 right, so the festival in the '80s it was quite – the music we had on, certainly in the early '80s was much more of a kind of certain genre.
"There was only really one stage and […] it was more like Elvis Costello and Van Morrison and great artists like that, but in the early '80s it didn't really cross over to the pop culture in the kind of popular way that it does now."
She added: "And then I suddenly probably in the early-late '80s when I was probably 9 or 10 that I started getting really excited by my own kind of music. Do you know what I mean?
"Like I got really into The Cure for example and then they ended up playing and I was like: 'This is amazing […] this festival is quite cool'".
Last year, The Cure frontman discussed making new music and plans for touring again in 2019 – teasing that the band could 'maybe' headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2019.
When asked if the Love Song legends would headline the festival again, he told BBC 6 Music: "Yeah, maybe. We haven't had a happy history with Glastonbury over the years.
"Although we've headlined three times, we've never been on the best of terms."I don't know if they forgive and forget. There are enough other festivals for us to play.
The Cure previously headlined Glastonbury Festival back in 1986, 1990 and 1995.
You can listen to George Ezra's full interview with Emily Eavis HERE.
So far, Stormzy has been announced as the first Pyramid Stage headliner, while Janelle Monae has been confirmed to top the bill on the West Holts Stage and Kylie Minogue will take the Sunday afternoon 'Legends Slot'.
Although the line-up will probably not be unveiled by the festival's officials until the end of March / beginning of April, you can check out the latest Glastonbury 2019 confirmed headliners & line-up rumours roundup HERE.
Glastonbury 2019 will take place between June 26 and 30 at Worthy Farm, Pilton.

Florentia, the name of the ancient Roman city of Florence founded between 30-15 B.C. under the first emperor Augustus, had a population of circa 10,000 people at its height of prosperity at the beginning of the second century A.D. It had a 16km long aqueduct bringing fresh water into the city from Mount Morello, public baths, a forum with splendid civic & religious buildings cased in marble, a thriving cloth industry, a theatre & of course an amphitheatre – a truly Roman building.
Unlike all the other things listed above, the amphitheatre was situated outside of the city's walls. The amphitheatre (amphi - from Greek -means on both sides, or around, so the name indicates that the form is constructed by putting two theatres, in Greek meaning a place for viewing, together, thus forming an elliptic shape) was used only for blood sports or Ludi (games); animal against animal, animals & men together, gladiatorial fights & executions, and so it was therefore opportune to place them outside the walls.
In Florence, the roman amphitheatre was in the area of Piazza Peruzzi near Santa Croce. This was outside the walls of the ancient city as the street behind the Palazzo Vecchio, via Proconsolo, marked the Eastern city wall. Indeed, thinking of the topography in the area of the amphitheatre, one thinks of via torta (crooked street) so called as the buildings are constructed on top of the ancient ruins of the amphitheatre structure, and consequently the street curves in an elliptical form. Nearby, via Benticordi & the palaces in Piazza Peruzzi are all curved for the same reason.
The amphitheatre of Florentia could hold circa 20,000 spectators, accounting also for the population of nearby Roman Fiesole which, perched on a hill, didn't have its own arena.
The Romans took much from the Greeks (art, politics, culture) but an amphitheatre was purely their own invention, both in form & in function. The Greeks didn't know how to build the arch, thus explaining why they built their theatres always into a hill, so that the elevated tiered seating to watch the spectacle was achieved from the natural rise of the land. As their temples were usually on top of hills and hence, near to the theatres, the plays took on a decidedly moralistic and didactic undertone. Nor was it, in any case, in the Greek mentality to think of entertainment as a bloody fight between beasts & man.
The Romans, on the other hand, with the extensive use of the arch, were able to build aqueducts covering miles and so could build many colonies & then build theatres wherever they wanted on flat land, achieving height with the arch structure. But more important than theatre entertainment (which they viewed suspiciously fearing that it would make their men soft) they could build stadiums for blood sports, something they really sank their teeth into. The average Roman had no interest in theatre, he didn't care for the deep & meaningful, he wanted games!
The biggest amphitheatre in the Roman world was the one in Rome, built by the Flavians (the rulers after the Julio-Claudians) at the end of the first century A.D. and dubbed the Colosseum in the medieval period. It is estimated to have a capacity of 50-70,000 people. Games were publicised like rock concerts today, the posters listed the lead up of events & they were free for all citizens and slaves. Tickets were necessary before the event in order to allocate seats which were assigned according to rank. They would often perfume the air to cover up the stench of blood and the arena floor was covered with sand (the word arena means sand in Greek) so as to better soak up the spilled blood and give a greater foothold to the combatants.
Blood sports in the amphitheatres were banned in the Empire at the beginning of the fifth century, however the next time that you are walking to Santa Croce don't be alarmed if you hear a roar…..

Troplong-Mondot bridges the divide between the ultra-traditional, gentle, seductive style of st-émilion and the forceful, sometimes over-powerful character that has become popular with some commentators. 2004 Troplong impressed us for its weight, harmony and length of flavour. It delivers copious fruit and concentration whilst remaining fresh and characteristic of its appellation. Defined and assertive, this is a longterm vintage for Troplong-Mondot. An exceptional st-émilion that deserves to be followed closely this year, a 'must-buy' of the vintage.

The Rafius Fane Gallery is pleased to present "ON POINT", a solo exhibition of drawings and paintings by Susan Schwalb. It is her first solo show in Boston area in 15 years. Schwalb's primary medium for over 40 years has been the Renaissance technique of silverpoint and metalpoint drawing. Juxtaposing a wide variety of metals—silver, gold, brass, copper, platinum, pewter, bronze, and aluminum—she obtains soft shifts of tone and color. Narrowly spaced grids serve as a spatial context for irregular events on the surface that create a shimmer of light. Depth seems to emerge from works that feature multiple square units arranged in layers. Many of Schwalb's works have musical titles, which evolved intuitively. In part this is because she lives with a composer, and loves music. In part it is because she is alert to the parallel between music and her work, both rooted in abstraction. With illusions of depth and the subtle play of points of brightness, her metalpoint drawings evoke an atmosphere of serenity, and testify to how straight lines can create movement and a visual sound.
Schwalb's work has been exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, including over 35 solo exhibitions. She was the only female, and one of just three living artists to be included in the recent history-making metalpoint exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC (Drawing in Silver and Gold: Leonardo to Jasper Johns (2015); traveled to The British Museum, London). Her work is in major public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the National Gallery, Washington DC, The British Museum, London, the Museum of Fine Arts/Boston, The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Kupferstichkabinett - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Germany, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX, The Library of Congress, Washington, DC, The Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT and Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art.
In February 2018, a retrospective entitled "A Luminous Line: Forty Years of Metalpoint Drawing by Susan Schwalb" will be exhibited at the Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock.

About me
I graduated with a degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering at University of Pisa on the 25th of February 2010. I nurture a particular interest on web programming and development, being it not only my favourite and strongest subject, but also a professional activity outside the academic environment.
I have in fact been working since December 2006 for a web company where I have been given several projects concerning large-scale applications development on numerous websites. One of the main projects involved the development of an online dating system serving a 200,000-strong user base. In addition to web-application development, while working for the same company I was assigned the task to design and code an entire content management system using PHP, JavaScript and AJAX. Such system is still employed by several websites belonging to the same network. Furthermore, some of my activities involved the administration of Apache Web Servers on Unix-based systems.
In terms of entrepreneurial abilities, during these years I accumulated strong transferable skills useful for identifying key requirements, collect data, communicating best courses of action and working effectively within any organizational level. Furthermore, one of my responsibilities was to liaise with both the clients and the development team to guarantee the integration of the requested features would be in agreement with the clients' demands. Finally, I have gained some significant exposure to the role of leading several short projects involving external teams which enabled me to acquire important communication and organizational skills to coordinate effectively a combination of various cross functional teams.
