July saw solid job growth, with employers adding 209,000 positions, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That marks 82 consecutive months of job gains. Updated figures for May and June show that 2,000 more jobs were added than originally reported by the BLS. The U.S. economy has gained nearly 1.3 million new positions in 2017. Since the beginning of the year, payrolls have increased by 184,000 per month, on average.
Professional and business services and healthcare were among the top sectors leading job growth last month. The BLS reports that these industries added 49,000 and 39,000 new positions in July, respectively. Healthcare has added 327,000 jobs over the past year.
The unemployment rate declined slightly to 4.3 percent in July, matching the 16-year low that was reached in May. The unemployment rate for college-degreed workers 25 and older, the professionals in highest demand, was unchanged at 2.4 percent.
Meanwhile, after hitting a record high of 6 million at the end of April, the number of job openings has declined — but not by much. In mid-July, the BLS released its latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and reported that 5.7 million jobs were still waiting to be staffed as of the last business day in May.

Every Spring this Austrian Park Turns Into a Scuba Diver's Paradise (11 Photos)
Austria's storybook mountain scenery could make even the most outdoors-averse person want to get outside and maybe even spin around in a wildflower-dotted meadow. With the abundant high-altitude hiking opportunities in the country, it might come as a surprise that one of Austria's most beautiful hiking spots is actually in – that's right, in – a lake.
Or, at least it is for part of the year. Gruner See (Green Lake), located near the town of Tragoess in Styria , is nestled within the spectacular Hochschwab mountains, and its situation creates a unique phenomenon. During the winter, the lake is shallow, at a depth of only about one to two meters (three to six feet). But in the spring and summer, as the snow and ice melt and run down from the surrounding karst peaks, the lake fills with brilliant green water, to a depth of ten meters (30 feet) or more.
The walking paths and roads that are used for strolling and driving during the winter and fall become submerged, along with all the benches and nearby plants, providing a weird, wonderful and otherworldly experience for divers. It's a great opportunity for divers of all levels to experience a truly unique phenomenon, as well as revel in the beauty of the area. While there's not a lot of life beneath the lake's surface, divers might see some trout and small crustaceans.
For divers living in or visiting Europe, Gruner See should be at the top of your once-in-a-lifetime-dives list.
Be sure to check out the video, below, of divers journeying through the lake.

A Security Skills Test
- 17 July, 2000 12:01
FRAMINGHAM (07/17/2000) - My wife doesn't let me do any electrical work around the house. Smart woman. Despite my engineering degrees from Cornell and MIT and my professional engineer's license, I don't have the requisite knowledge to be a competent electrician. I've never been trained to do that type of work; I don't know the accepted practices or where hidden dangers lie. If I were to claim such expertise and take responsibility for electrical systems, I could hurt or kill people.
Unskilled computer security people also do harm. They hurt their organizations by allowing others to steal credit-card information and other important data or to put the computer-based parts of their organization out of business for short or long periods of time. And they can damage other organizations.
The recent distributed denial-of-service attacks on sites such as eBay Inc. and Yahoo Inc. were directly enabled by security mistakes almost certainly made by unskilled systems administrators at the University of California at Santa Barbara and other universities and institutions.
Similarly, unskilled information security officers are taking responsibility for managing the security of major systems. Because they don't know how to secure them, they create policies that no systems administrator can implement and then blame the administrators when security is breached.
Neither systems and network administrators nor information security officers have been asked to prove that they know how to secure their Internet-connected systems. And they haven't been given the time to train for their jobs. Without the confidence that builds with adequate training, they're uncomfortable demanding the resources needed to keep systems safe. They go along day to day telling management that everything looks OK, all the while holding their breath.
It's time to stop the charade.
The first person to publicly describe the damage being done by untrained security people was Stephen Northcutt, who headed information warfare at the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and now heads the SANS Institute's Global Incident Analysis Center. For the past year, Northcutt and a team of global security leaders have collaborated to identify the minimum necessary skills - what they call "security essentials." One of his team leaders provided a set of exemplary questions that organizations can ask their information security officers and systems administrators to determine whether they have the essential skills necessary to be considered minimally qualified for the most basic sysadmin and security jobs:
1. Which of the 10 most critical Internet security vulnerabilities as published by the FBI and SANS (see www.sans.org/topten.htm) are present on each of your Internet-connected computers? Why is each one dangerous? The answers will help determine whether the person knows what the biggest security threats are and whether those threats affect his organization.
2. What specific events are and are not being audited on each system? What tool is monitoring and analyzing the audit logs? What has it found in the last 24 hours? This helps determine whether you have an ongoing security monitoring activity.
3. When was the last time you checked the system backups to be certain they restored files accurately? How frequently is each system backed up? If you were called in during a security emergency, would you be able to do a backup to retain the data for later analysis? This verifies that the person knows and acts on the knowledge that the greatest damage from security incidents is often a loss of information that could have been avoided had backups been current and uncorrupted.
4. What protocols and ports are being blocked by the firewall for both incoming and outgoing traffic? Is that sufficient? This verifies that the person has an understanding of basic perimeter protection.
These aren't the only questions that will determine the knowledge and skills of sysadmins and security professionals, but they can serve as an early-warning system to identify dangerous skills shortages. Though IT managers may not be able to secure their systems, they can be held responsible for ensuring that the people they hire are minimally qualified.

A Walmart parking lot in Cedar City, Utah was the site of mass carnage when thousands of birds crashed into the pavement Monday night, reports Brian Ahern at The Spectrum.
Wildlife officials believe that the flock of migrating Grebes, a duck-like aquatic bird, was confused by storm clouds that made the parking lot look like a flat body of water.
Though at least 1,500 birds perished in the crash-landing, rescue crews managed to save more than 2,000 birds as of late Tuesday and have been releasing them in a nearby pond, according to the AP.
"I've been here 15 years and this was the worst downing I've seen," Teresa Griffin, wildlife program manager for the Utah Department of Wildlife Resource's southern region, told The Spectrum. "Most of the downings I've seen have been pretty localized, but this was very widespread."
This is the parking lot where it happened.

ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Friday said the government was fully determined to transform Pakistan as per the vision of the poet of the East and the great philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal.
In his message on the Iqbal Day, he said Muhammad Iqbal has a great distinction among the modern philosophers as he revived the Islamic Ideologies by responding to the western philosophers in an effective manner and with a different angle.
The 141st birth anniversary of Dr Muhammad Iqbal is being celebrated in Pakistan today, with national zeal and fervor.
Chaudhry Fawad Hussain urged youth to study poetry of Muhammad Iqbal in which he has given a message of "Khudi" and constant struggle to them by adopting pattern of "Shaheens" life.
He said our youth can better serve Pakistan and Muslim Ummah by following the "Fikr-e-Iqbal".
Earlier in separate messages, President Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan urged the youth to understand the message of Muhammad Iqbal.
The president in his message on the eve, has underlined the need of understanding the message of Iqbal and following his teachings and philosophy to tackle the multifaceted challenges faced by the country.
"The need to understand his message and following his teachings and philosophy was never as great as it is today" he continued in his message.
He advised youth to follow footprints of the thinker of Pakistan.
He said that Muhammad Iqbal would always be remembered not only for envisioning a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Sub Continent but also for his remarkable contributions to understanding the true message of our religion.—NNI

Bacon and courgette tagliatelle
By July 5, 2015Published:
- Makes: 2 Servings
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 10 mins
- Ready In: 20 mins
This is perfect for a busy weekday, quick and tasty. Works well with spaghetti and linguine too.
- 150 Grams Tagliatelle Dry
- 2 Tsp Olive Oil
- 4 Rashers Smoked Or Streaky Bacon Chopped
- 1 Courgette / Zucchini Grated
- 1 Small Onion Chopped
- 1 Garlic Clove Sliced and Chopped
- 2 Free Range Eggs
- 100 Ml Single Cream
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan Chesse Finely grated
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water according to instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan, and cook the bacon, adding the courgette, garlic and onion after a minute or two. Cook until the veg is golden and the bacon is cooked and lightly crisp.
- Beat together the eggs, cream and cheese.
- Drain the pasta loosely so there is a little bit of water left, then return to the pan off the heat. Add the bacon and courgette mix, and then add the egg mixture and toss well together so the heat from the pasta thickens the sauce and lightly cooks the egg. I often put a lid on for a minute or two to allow it all to cook through.
- Divide between two bowls and serve with some black pepper.

Motorola has launched the Moto 360 2015 in India. The Android Wear smartwatch will be available for purchase from later today, and is priced at ₹19,999 ($300). Being a fashion accessory, the smartwatch will be up for sale at e-commerce retailer Flipkart as well as its fashion subsidiary, Myntra.
Lenovo-owned Motorola first unveiled the smartwatch September at the sidelines of IFA 2015 in Berlin. The second-generation Moto 360 smartwatch comes in two sizes and is less bulky than its predecessor. Designed for both men and women, the wearable device comes in 46mm design and 42mm design for men, while for women it comes in only the 42mm size, which is said to be designed for slimmer wrists.
The company claims that the new Moto 360 has the largest screen-to-case ratio of any smartwatch available today. The Moto 360 (2015) is built out of aircraft-grade 316L stainless steel, with Corning Gorilla Glass protecting the screen from scratches. The smartwatch is also IP67-certified, making it dust and water resistant.
As for other specifications, the Moto 360 (Gen 2) comes in two screen sizes: 1.37-inch (of screen resolution 360×325 pixels and a 263ppi pixel density), and 1.56-inch (of screen resolution 360×330 pixels and a 233ppi pixel density). The device is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, which comes paired with Adreno 306 GPU clocked at 450MHz. The smartwatch has 4GB of inbuilt storage, and 512MB of RAM.
The 42mm variant of the Moto 360 (2nd Gen) comes with 300mAh battery, which as the company claims could last up to 1.5 days of mixed use with Ambient off. The 46mm variant comes with 400mAh battery, which could last up to 2 days with ambient off, and a full day with ambient kept on. It supports both Bluetooth 4.0 LE and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g. Among the sensors, it comes loaded with an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and a gyroscope, apart from a vibration and haptics engine. It also has an optical heart rate monitor (PPG).
Would you buy one? Dou you like the Moto 360(2015)?

Let's talk SNACKS./
SNACKS! I love snacks, and I think that's where most of my sugar addiction comes from. "Oh, I'm a little bit hungry? I'll just stop into Duane Reade and grab a granola bar. Oh! and its around Easter [Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, etc.] and there happens to be holiday candy right in front of me, so I'll just snag one of those delicious peanut butter chocolates shaped like an egg [pumpkin, Christmas tree, heart, etc.]" That was the conversation that I would have with myself. In my head, not out loud, don't worry.
The Whole30 diet suggests that when you are craving a snack in between meals you should think to yourself: "Am I hungry enough to eat a full meal? A protein and a carb?" If the answer is yes, ,then you should eat a meal with a protein and carb. If the answer is no, then you should ignore that craving. (I KNOW, IT'S HARD)
That's what I've been trying to do. Eating a full meal when I'm hungry instead of inhaling 30 clementines. However, there are times when I need a quick bite. For example, right after I teach a fitness class. In those cases here is what I do eat:
Almonds, boiled eggs, carrots and hummus, crackers and cheese with an apple, chia seed pudding, avocado toast. Basically, I think it comes down to being prepared so if you absolutely NEED a snack you aren't just grabbing the first thing you see in the vending machine. But also really asking yourself if you are actually hungry or just bored/craving sugar.
Holidays in convenient stores are hard.

jacktrewinthis is the greatest film I've seen. it hit me hard. when a film gets you to reflect upon what you've just seen and view it as a whole piece of art it is truly magical. its a poetic portrayal of real life and as a result is so powerful in showing how people interact with one another.
a film has never affected me more. at the end credits I was just overwhelmed. i knew elements of it which particularly impressed and connected with me, but couldnt really explain why.. and in a way, the best films can't quite be put into words 8 years 2 months ago
monclivie2 years 2 months ago
dwzobellAs transcendent of a film as I've probably ever encountered, this expressionistic, borderline musical, finds roots in Malick, Fosse and in somewhere much deeper and original than even those masters managed to go. There are few movies that I've seen that come closer to capturing the way the human heart and mind find things - memories, good and bad, all bathed in gold, bathed in simultaneous shock and forgiveness. A cleansing wash and a million other trite attempts to explore the beauty of this quiet, hopeful and mournful little film. "In the Bleak Midwinter" has never meant more. 4 years 8 months ago

The Reason behind Apple's Ditching of the 3.5mm Jack Sounds Absurd
What exactly did you think is the reason behind 3.5 mm jack shunning by Apple? To moot wireless headphone connectivity? No. Make it slimmer? No. Provide an extra-wide speaker? Bingo. But wait, seriously? Unfortunately, yes.
The reason everyone pointed out for why Apple would have the 3.5mm jack axed from its future iPhones was that the Cupertino company holds the desire to trim down its upcoming iPhones.
Some of the global counterparts have already chosen that path, and Apple appeared like stepping into their shoes. But now, with what we are hearing about the 3.5mm jack replacement, the sliminess may not be what Apple is focussing here.
Forbes has reported that Apple is planning to have the void space of its 3.5mm jack filled with an extra speaker. We still are not sure whether the 3.5mm jack omission came as a result of Apple foreseeing the same.
Let's hope that's not the case. No one wants to have some widened audio at the cost of their favourite pricey headphones.
There is an apparent interest for stereo audio among Apple devices off-late although. And that's because stereo sound has become more of a common fashion among its rival devices.
The iPhone still clasps on to that single mono speaker system that was present ever since the birth of its forerunner. Addition of an extra speaker to widen the audio for music and movies do sound good, provided the intent was not born before they fixed on to axing the 3.5mm jack.
Apparently, Apple is also working on other replacements of the 3.5 mm headsets like audio plug-in through lightning ports and wireless headsets via Bluetooth.
There were also reports that suggested that Apple will introduce a complete set of truly wireless ear-buds along with an upcoming iPhone. They also have plans to introduce noise-cancellation features to all of those newly adopted headphone systems.

David Beckham made a lot of 'interesting' outfit choices in the '90s and early noughties, so inevitably some of them don't look so stylish in hindsight – and he's picked a belter to bring back to the public's attention.
Celebrating his wedding anniversary with wife Victoria on Tuesday (July 4), the ex-footballer posted a picture of the couple back in their heyday, when matching outfits were all the rage and leather trousers apparently didn't make you look like a jackass Ross from Friends.
Yep, it's that one.
"Wow we really did this," David said.
"Happy Anniversary to an amazing wife, mummy and strong business woman. Love you."
David is no stranger to showing affection towards his family, which is something he defended this week after trolls called him out for kissing his children on the lips.
Last month, the father of four came under fire for sharing a photograph of himself kissing his 5-year-old daughter Harper on the lips during a family holiday to Africa.
Following the backlash from some followers, Beckham has finally addressed the controversy.
In an Facebook live video, he said: "I kiss all my kids on the lips. Brooklyn maybe not. Brooklyn is 18, so he might find that a little strange, but I'm very affectionate with the kids.
"It's how I was brought up – and Victoria – and it's how we are with our children."
So there, haters.

Police Headquarters
Chiemelie Ezeobi
With Christmas barely nine weeks away, the spate of armed robberies is getting fiercer, as robbers not only organize mass raids, they have also become rather bloodthirsty. Last Saturday, no fewer than four persons were shot dead and several others injured at Anglican Road in Sango Ota, Ogun State when a 12-man armed gang stormed the area in the wee hours of the day. But as it would happen, the robbers erroneously shot dead two members of the gang, taken for residents of the neighbourhood.
The Ota area is said to be the new haven for robbers chased out of Lagos State. They (robbers) have thus carried out several operations within the area, sometimes even on the Lagos-Abeokuta highway, without as much a confrontation by the police.
In their latest raid, the armed gang stormed the street at about 1.45am and first shot the security dog dead to prevent it from alerting people of their presence with its barking.
Next, the gang attacked and eliminated the two security men on the street, Tunde Olejesu, and one Kolade Kehinde, after which they headed for the home of their victim, a former member of staff of The Guardian and presently a Director with Environment Rights Action/ Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN), Mr. Akinbode Oluwafemi. He was lucky to have escaped their bullets.
Speaking to THISDAY Sunday, the victim's colleague, Mr. Tunji Buhari, said the robbers stormed the house at about 1.45am armed with Ak47 rifles and other weapons.
Narrating what transpired he said: "It all started on October 12 at about 1.45am when some heavily armed men, numbering about 12, stormed Mr. Akinbode Oluwafemi's house.
"First, they shot at our security man, Tunde Olajesu, at the gate toprevent him from alerting us. He was, however, fortunate as the bullet hit his hand and not a more dangerous part of the body.
"Wisely, he pretended that he was dead so they left him in a pool of his own blood taking him for dead. They stormed Oluwafemi's building, a duplex and shot Oluwafemi's brother-in-law, Kolade Kehinde, who lives on the ground floor."
THISDAY gathered that Kehinde was the only son of his mother and had come to Lagos from Ekiti State to look for a job. Now his dream has been terminated by the hot bullets of a rogue gang.
Before the robbers could break into the house, the Oluwafemis, sufficiently frightened, had managed to contact a few persons to help them call for help. But none came.
Speaking to THISDAY on strict conditions of anonymity, one of thepersons contacted said he put a call across to Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police in the Ogun State Police Command, at about 2am to alert him on the robbery and he promised to send his men but he never did.
He said: "To give him credit, he picked (his call) when I called himat about 2.00am. He promised to send his men but he did not. If he did, I am sure some of the robbers would have been apprehended. In fact, till the robbers were done, no police presence was felt.
"It was even Oluwafemi and some people that went to the station to report the incident. It was only then that four policemen were assigned to follow Oluwafemi back to the house; a classic case of medicine after death."
Meanwhile, the gang who had come prepared used an iron cutter to cut open the protector doors despite the assurance from the family that they would open the door willingly.
Tunji narrated: "When the robbers hit the door repeatedly, Oluwafemi appealed to them that he would open the door peacefully, which he attempted to do but he was forced to run back to lock himself in the toilet when the gang released hails of bullets into the house.
"Having succeeded in scaring them, the gang forcibly entered the house and dragged them out from their hiding places and demanded money, including hard currency.
"They robbed us, scraping off whatever money that was in the house. Not satisfied, they ransacked the entire house and made away with valuables like laptops, camera, four phones, gold, children's cloth, shoes and even foodstuffs. While they were doingthis, they sporadically released volleys of bullets riddling the walls, property and ceiling with hot leads."
Tunji noted that it was after the robbers had left that they discovered the body of another unidentified person in the gutter. It was then they set out to the Sango Ota Police Station to make their report.
With the four policemen, they returned and removed the body of the man from the gutter.
"When we lifted him from the gutter, he was clutching something in his hands. When it was forced open, we discovered that it was his prayer beads. He was praying when he was killed and thrown into the gutter.
"We used one of our cars to take him to the nearby mortuary. It was even later that we discovered that the gang had mistakenly killed two of their members," he said.
Also speaking to THISDAY, a resident of the street who was simplyidentified as Biodun said the robbery was premeditated as the robbers did not visit any other person in the neighbourhood.
He said: "From all indications, the robbery was planned and neatly executed. First, they came with iron cutter, which they usedto cut the barbed wires to gain entrance into the compound.
"Then they eliminated the security dog and the security guard before storming the house. Throughout the robbery operation, they were demanding that Oluwafemi bring out the money."
Tunji lamented that the police were yet to come up with anything neither has any arrest been made. As at press time, efforts madeto contact the Ogun State Police Command spokesman were unsuccessful.

A new section is being proposed for
Boilerplate 298. We believe this language threatens Michigan's public mental
health system.
Boilerplate 298 (e)
(e) That selected Medicaid health plans be allowed to contract
directly with a service provider in an effort to achieve the contract
requirements with this state for managing the physical and behavioral health of
Medicaid eligible individuals within the pilot region. The pilots
described in this subsection shall not in any way mandate an exclusive
arrangement between contracted Medicaid health plans and CMHSPs. Any NCQA
function presently maintained by a contracted Medicaid health plans shall
remain the responsibility of the health plan for the purposes of this pilot
regardless of their contractual arrangements with any CMHSP, and contracts
between this state and the PIHPs shall be amended to allow for relief of CMHSPs
from existing contractual requirements as necessary.
We are asking everyone to contact their
House and Senate members opposing the Senate's 298 2e language. Your support in
sharing this information and contacting legislators is appreciated.
we OPPOSE Senate Bill – Section 298 (2)(e):
· We
believe this approach would eventually destroy the local safety net by allowing
private health plans to contract with vendors that do not have the same legal
& moral responsibility of the CMHs in those communities.
o Other
vendors are not held accountable to the community like the local CMH – sheriff,
schools, other community partners.
o If
the pilots do not go well other vendors can pack up and leave town, the CMH
· Section
2(e) would allow Health Plans and other vendors to cherry pick the easiest least
complicated cases, leaving the most expensive to serve with the CMH with
drastically less resources.
o Medicaid
funding makes up over 90% of the CMH's budget, if a significant portion of
these funds are removed the CMH's ability to fulfil its community obligations
will be wiped out.
· This
approach in Section 2(e) has been tried and failed in other states.
o Iowa
and Kansas contracted with for-profit insurers who made wide sweeping promises
but, in the end, wiped out the state's local safety net network by offering
poor reimbursement rate and drastic cuts in services, which left families and
consumers without competent provides.

"Of all New Zealand's relationships in sport, none had been so precious as that, in rugby, with Wales." So wrote Terry McLean, doyen of New Zealand sports journalists, who died this year. On Saturday at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, that friendly rivalry reaches its 21st instalment.
It is 99 years since Wales first played New Zealand in arguably the most significant of all rugby matches, catching two nations at a formative moment so that Wales' 3-0 win furnished imperishable legend on both sides. New Zealand, that most self-consciously British of former colonies, formed its closest relationship with Wales precisely because it furnished fewer settlers than England, Scotland or Ireland. The Welsh were a rarely encountered fantasy race, the only other people who loved rugby as much as New Zealanders did.
That near-century divides neatly into two halves. Wales won three out of four in the first half-century. Keith Davis, scrum-half of the 1953 All Blacks, recalls: "Wales was the match that mattered. Of course we wanted to win against England and the other Test matches. But Wales was the one."
That 1953 game was won by Wales 13-8 after flanker Clem Thomas kicked riskily across field. Olympic sprinter and wing Ken Jones beat Ron Jarden to what McLean described as the "bounce of the century" and All Black reserve prop Peter Eastgate still considers the "biggest fluke in the world".
Fifty-one years on, 19 of the 30 players survive. The 10 All Blacks have taken little pleasure in the divergence of national fortunes since then, although New Zealand's last narrow victory, in 1978 after lock Andy Haden had dived dishonestly from a line-out, was viewed by most as recompense for ill-luck and poor refereeing in 1953.
The past 26 years have brought a series of massive All Black wins, bringing the sequence since 1953 to 16. Defeat in 1953 ended John Tanner's Test career, but he says: "Hearing Wales' results has been like learning that your younger brother is in trouble."
Pleasure at Wales' vastly improved performance last time the teams met - New Zealand's epic 53-37 win in last year's World Cup - was almost as acute in Nelson and Rotorua as in Neath and Caerphilly. The two remain linked by a common rugbyhistory and a similar worry - that the larger, richer neighbour who once provided a nationally therapeutic punchbag is now making efficient use of its greater weight.
England and Australia have won three of the last four World Cups. Yet victory over New Zealand today would still mean more to Wales than beating either of those current giants. Wales face a team coached by New Zealanders Graham Henry and Steve Hansen, who previously coached them.
Two weeks ago Wales ran South Africa close, a team who finished first to New Zealand's third in this year's Tri-Nations championship. If they achieve a feat that was beyond the great Wales teams of the 1970s, nobody will be happier than Bleddyn Williams, now 81, who has written: "Proud as I am of being Wales' last winning captain against New Zealand, it is a distinction I would very much like to lose."

One of the focuses of the upcoming release of Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition, version 7.0 is monitoring VMware View environment. Virtualized Desktop or VDI has recently seen a surge in adoption due to many factors including ease of management, cost savings and trends like BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).
The timely enhancements in Foglight for Virtualization allows customers to monitor the View infrastructure all the way down to the virtual/physical infrastructure that supports it. This includes View services, Desktops (whether deployed as VMs or physical servers), Horizon Pools, vSphere servers (ESXi) as well as Storage. The improvements begin with the new wizard for further simplifying View cartridge configuration. All the information is captured through the configured virtual center while allowing users to manually modify properties.
Because all desktops are centralized in the VDI servers, it is crucially important to monitor the overall performance of the system centrally. A single intuitive dashboard allows the administrator to view all components of the View infrastructure, status of services used by VMware View and underlying infrastructure as well.
As it is possible in all Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise dashboards, you can drill down into any of these components from the dashboard. Foglight also allows you to create custom dashboards to monitor specific VMs or VDI resources (Such as Pool associated with IT or Desktop allocated to the CEO).
Desktops host the actual user sessions in the VDI. Performance of the desktop can thus impact the response time and user perception. Whether virtual or physical, desktop performance is thus crucial in monitoring VDI performance.
Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise can monitor VMs as well as physical servers. If you have deployed all your desktops as virtual machines then you can use the VMware performance monitoring (through vCenter that's enabled by default).
If you are using the physical server, you can use the WMI based windows OS monitoring to capture similar information (CPU, network, memory etc.)
Finally, Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise Edition 7.0 will also monitor Horizon pools and their utilization so that it's easy to see if they are oversubscribed or under.
Apart from these most obvious changes, you can continue to monitor user sessions and explore underlying infrastructure right from the View dashboard.

The Forest Moon of Endor was a 'planet' within the Western Outer Rim region. Throughout most of it's time in Jedi vs Sith, it was controlled by the Night Jedi. Roleplay upon the moon was mostly considered to take place around 30-60ABY, many years after the Star Wars canonical events involving the moon.
Physical FeaturesEdit
The forest moon, commonly just known as Endor, was a small forested moon orbiting the gas giant planet of Endor. The terrain was largely covered by massive, tightly-knit pine and redwood forests. However, the Forest Moon also contained vast dry deserts and grassy plains, small oceans, secluded lakes, and mountain ranges. The climate was temperate and mild, with polar caps regulating the sea levels.[1]
Notable LocationsEdit
Night Jedi CitadelEdit
Main Article: Endor Citadel
Endor was home to the Night Jedi, who had a Citadel on the moon as a teaching establishment
Jedi Shadows EnclaveEdit
Main Article: Jedi Shadows Enclave
Also making home on Endor were the Jedi Shadows, constructing their Enclave there.
Hanging Moss VillageEdit
Main Article:Hanging Moss Village
A village of Ewoks, killed by the Sith in the early days of Universe V1.0. It was also the location of the Endor Sith Citadel, and a Night Jedi military camp, and was eventually repopulated by the native creatures.
Bright Tree VillageEdit
The home of the Ewoks seen in Return of the Jedi. It was held as a sanctuary.
Quork CityEdit
Home to the Quorks, it was largely abandoned. In the early days, it was home to Gresturr's droid factory, and a short distance away were the government buildings that were removed by the Night Jedi. In later years, it became home to the Dymek factory.
Research OutpostEdit
Main Article: Endor Research Outpost
An Imperial research outpost, taken over by the Night Jedi military forces to use as a base.
Planetary DefencesEdit
See: Forest Moon of Endor/Planetary Defences
Endor was protected by the Night Jedi Military and the Jedi Shadows' Phantom Fleet.
Pre-Universe backstoryEdit
Endor was the site of the legendary Battle of Endor, which was a great turning point in the battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. It was populated by many species, including the teddy-bear like Ewoks.
Endor was considered to have followed canon history up to around 30ABY.
(More information available at the Wookieepedia site Endor on Wookieepedia)
In-Universe HistoryEdit
Pre Night JediEdit
At the Universe's inception, (Earthdate Oct 2nd 2007), Endor was a mass of Sith and Jedi claims of territory. The Sith cut down many Ewoks, before a renewed onslaught of Jedi pushed them back. After the battle, the surviving Sith planted pot farms, and began to feed the Ewoks drugs. However, there were still several Jedi attacks to displace the Sith farmers, and even internal Sith power struggles.
Eventually, Jedi Master Gresturr arrived, gathering Ewoks and taking them to safety. This saved the ecosystem from the biological attacks that then occured, one of them by a young Lord Mendicious. The attacks did not stop the Sith, however, who continued to farm, putting up more buildings. The Jedi once more retaliated, seemingly to little avail, but the Sith were pushed back.
Night Jedi AttackEdit
Main Article: Night Jedi invasion of Endor
Within a few weeks, the Night Jedi Order had taken an interest in the planet, and sent scouts to ascertain it's military capability. There was a brief delay, in which some facilities were produced. However, before long, the planet was attacked by Night Jedi forces under the leadership of Patriarch Rahmus, who captured the moon, destroying most facilities there, and built a Citadel of their own upon it to train their members. A short period of diplomacy occured around that time, that dictated how Endor would henceforth be managed.
Night Jedi LeadershipEdit
Facilitating training and reactionary 'spur of the moment' roleplaying, Endor remained relatively quiet. Small attacks were occasionally mounted against the planet, including an attack by the Yuuzhan Vong, but due to strong ties to the Iron Fists, the attacks were repelled with ease.
Breakup of the OrderEdit
Eventually, Rahmus disappeared, leaving no trace, and new leadership was promoted; a joint-patriarchship of Jobie Wan Kenobi, Pryce Fisto, Diaeta, and Ne'aol
In 37ABY, a breakaway faction of the Night Jedi, including Diaeta, went renegade, forming the Endor Sith. This resulted in a war breaking out on the moon, which soon resulted in the Sith Citadel being surrounded by Night Jedi forces. The battle was soon won by the Night Jedi, and once again, the moon returned to relative peace.
Restoration of the Night JediEdit
With the new leadership, membership once again began to rise, and more instructors were taken on. Then, due to an unprecendented spacial phenomenon, the universe shifted to Universe 1.5, which, unfortunately, left some staff behind on the Facebook Universe. Despite this, however, membership of the Order still grew for several months.
Jedi ShadowsEdit
Around the time of the shift to Universe 1.5, another small community of Jedi known as the Jedi Shadows, led by Jedi Masters Vilor, Erris Anneri, and Chris McDonald, arrived, and the Night Jedi allowed them to stay. The moon is also now home to several other notable Jedi, including Zalor Anneri and his many companions. Also with them is Negue Ragnos and his granddaughter Tanara Ajahn. They, with the permission of the Night Jedi, constructed an Enclave in the forest, and base their operations from it. In the past, they have also spent time with the Ewok tribe living in the Bright Tree Village. The Ewoks of the Bright Tree Village and the Jedi Shadows are now mutual allies.
Battle with ValerianEdit
Main Article: Endor Outpost Attack
In 38ABY, forces of Valerian Aslamir repeatedly attacked the Night Jedi of Endor. The battle was fought both on the ground at the Endor Research Outpost, and in space, around the 'Hub' Battlestation
Second Night Jedi CollapseEdit
Shortly after the battle, Jobie Wan Kenobi left Endor, and the Night Jedi Order practically collapsed, with very little activity occuring. During this time, Oola Palantea took over the Night Jedi, and made several large cutbacks to operations and manpower. The Jedi Shadows took over as sole defenders of Endor for a time.
Zulataan and Destruction of the EnclaveEdit
Something could perhaps be written about this
Night Jedi ReturnEdit
In 58ABY, Jobie Wan Kenobi returned to Endor, meeting with the Night Jedi Rossiter Briggs and Oola Palantea and they began to rebuild the order.
The Jedi Shadows now stand alongside the Night Jedi as equal partners on the moon, using it as their base of operations and official home. Along with the Jedi on the surface, additional planetary defenses include the orbiting Phantom Fleet, commanded by Fleet Admiral Lerone Jian and Jedi Master Chris McDonald.
The next part of the moon's history was much comprised of diplomatic activity. The Jedi Shadows and Night Jedi formed an alliance between their two military forces, and the Dymek company moved to Endor under the protection of the Night Jedi.
During this time, a small but increasing number of attacks were made against the moon or its inhabitants, such as that by Malice Hingang. All of these were dealt with easily by the Night Jedi and the Jedi Shadows, however. It was, however, a source of much wondering for all involved at where the sudden increase of activity had come from.
Ne'aol organised a great meeting of all the Jedi Orders to discuss the unification of the Jedi, which took place at the Endor Resort.

Climbing in Ranked can be a difficult and especially frustrating experience. No matter how good you play yourself, you can not choose your teammates. I myself have long been able to complete the climb from Silver and leave the plebs behind me. Here you already have the 4 tricks I have applied to improve my ranked performance.
- Find the playing style and champion that suits you
With more than 130 champions, League of Legends offers enough options for every player and playing style. So before you get to your climb in Ranked, it is recommended to try out as many champions as possible (in Normals !!) and search for the style of play that you like the most. Do you like to control the game from a distance, do you prefer to play in the battle as an unchaste tank or would you rather help your teammates and try to win the game that way? In the case you need cheap ranked boost.
- Always maintain a positive attitude
Even though it does not always seem that way, everyone wants to win in League of Legends. The way in which you can make the difference. Start every game with a positive attitude. Do not try to type too much in chat and keep your comments to yourself. Your teammate will know if he has made a mistake. Nobody benefits when you start arguing amongst each other. When another player starts to flaunt you or is just annoying, you simply mute him. In this way you do not have to pay any unnecessary attention, do not get distracted and you can focus on winning the game.
- Dodge games
You've certainly experienced the following situation: Champion Select is not over yet, but you still feel that the game has already been lost in advance. Someone was fired in the support role, the toplaner is planning to troll and feed because his yasuo is banned, mid and jungle are already bickering and your team composition is composed entirely of attack damage based champions (Full AD).
- Camping / sniping
This is a bit of a nasty and unsportsmanlike, yet very effective way to win games as a jungler. You look up the players from the other team and look at their match history. You look for the lane whose opponent is working on a losing streak. Chances are that he is on tilt and therefore less focused on the game, rapper his team will flamen, give up, … All things that will benefit your victory.

We've come out of the sky. How many places in the world allow one to take a bus that passes through 4700 meters elevation, and in two hours bottoms out at 1,525. But that's why Bolivia rocks. After getting into La Paz, which is quite possible the most...
Yes, we have fallen victim to a tropical shower here in the principle steps of Bolivia's Amazon Basin. Anyway, La Paz rocks; I'll get back to that later.
We took an early bus this morning down the mountains, finally making our way off the puna. Coming over the Andes outside La Paz, we peaked at 4600 meters in a wide rolling yellow highland tundra widely inhabited by llamas. Llamas also rock, and it hurts me inside to know that I may never see so many all together in one place again. Towering above this llama haven, we finally caught a good steady glimpse of those stereotypical Andean peaks we'd been looking for from Ushuaia to Bariloche to Mendoza to San Juan to JuJuy to Tupiza to Potosi - unbelievably massive, sharp, jagged rock peaks that actually rise up above the clouds that swirl around them, totally devoid of even the smallest hint of life. That's the kind of think one sees in documentaries and in magazines, but never imagines he will get to stand in front of and feel. I am humbled to see a creation so awesome.
Just like that, we hit a very definite point where the bus began to head down... down, down, down nearly 4300 meters directly to Bolivia's slide of the Amazon Basin - an amazing change of terrain to witness in just 2 hours. Where else on the planet can you descent from snowy tundra crawling with llama set before such massive rocky peaks to a cloudy tropical forest 4 kilometers directly below? Probably nowhere.
Our chosen path of descent carries with it the title of "the most dangerous road int he world," a name inspired by the high fatality rate of travel on its paths, no doubt due to the lack of guard rails as the gravel road plummets down the sides of mountains. Descending, just as the yellow grass and mosses began to grow longer and greener, we entered the clouds - a major milestone in a a road trip down from the heavens. Riding along mountain ridges and looking over the edge, the forested earth just faded out to white in the near distance, giving rise to the question of whether or not the ground actually exists below us. We continue, and as the mountains above use disappear into the sky, we hit the breaking point of the clouds.
And just like that, we've left the realm of the sun and stars and clouds and moon and in front of us lies the massive expanse of the tropical rain forest, rolling on an infinite sprawl of hills channeling countless streams and rivers between them. The forest sprawls on as far as can be imagined, and the road improved to cobblestone as we re-enter a realm in free from strictly prohibitive slopes, and thus one again rich in human settlements.
Now, I find myself perched atop a mud brick wall in the forest outside Coroica writing these words to be read. We spent our day off the bus eating a delicious meal of spicy river fish with fried bananas, then took a walk to feast on the abundance of tiny wild tangerines that grow on the broad-leaf trees. My discoveries of the day are two-fold: First, the rain forest floor does no lie where it appears to, but rather a good meter or so under crushed subdue vegetation that will swallow you up if you don't step just right, and second, it rains a lot in the jungle.

Found a great website with information on watercolor techniques.
It shows step by step processess in painting different things, as well as great lessons for all kinds of techniques. There are links to tons of artists all over the world, as well as information on great masters and how they used watercolor. Some days I get so frustrated with the medium, because I can't get it to do what I want it to do, and then I see what others have been able to do with it. It's remarkable. And there are also so many different styles. I haven't seen anyone with my particular style… just paint and paint and paint until you find some semblance of a picture. I wish I could be lighter with the brush. I guess it's just a never ending process of learning.

AETN announces weekend schedule changes beginning in January
Posted 18 Dec 2013
The Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) has announced changes to the weekend schedule beginning Friday, Jan. 3.
"Arkansas Week," AETN's weekly public affairs program for the state, moves to 7:30 p.m. from its previous 8 p.m. Friday start. Immediately following will be the week's PBS Arts program at 8 p.m., which previously aired at 9 p.m.
Saturday evenings will begin at 6 p.m. with "The Lawrence Welk Show" in its new time slot. British comedy favorites "Keeping up Appearances" and "As Time Goes By" will follow at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. respectively.
The remainder of Saturday evenings will include "DCI Banks" and three programs new to AETN:
- "Father Brown" at 8 p.m. Set in the 1950s in the heart of the English countryside, Mark Williams stars as Father Brown, the Catholic priest who happens to have a particular talent for solving crimes, in this adaptation of G.K. Chesterton's novels. Full of humor and compassion, this series remains true to the period charm of the original character and setting while bringing a contemporary edge to the storytelling.
- "Death in Paradise" at 9 p.m. This warm, lighthearted detective series features an inspector who is assigned to investigate a murder on the paradise island of Saint-Marie in the Caribbean, despite his hatred of sun, sea and sand. The plot centers on straight-laced British cop Richard Poole. His new partner, DS Camille Bordey, is instinctive, feisty and brilliant, and the rest of the team certainly have their own unique way of doing things.
- "Scott & Bailey" at 10 p.m. This thrilling investigative drama, from award-winning writer Sally Wainwright, explores the personal and professional lives of two female detectives. The main characters are DC Janet Scott and DC Rachel Bailey, both of whom are members of the Major Incident Team of the fictional Manchester Metropolitan Police. "Scott & Bailey" is an honest, powerful and funny crime drama series.
- "DCI Banks" at 11 p.m. Based on the bestselling novels by Peter Robinson, this series stars Stephen Tompkinson and Andrea Lowe as the tenacious and stubborn Chief Inspector Alan Banks and the feisty and headstrong Detective Sergeant Annie Cabbot. The beauty and tranquility of the Yorkshire Dales provides a striking and contrasting backdrop in the psychological drama that brings Robinson's fictional detective to the small screen for the first time.
Moving from Friday evenings to Sunday mornings will be "The McLaughlin Group" at 9 and "Charlie Rose This Week" at 10:30. "Moyers & Company" switches to a half hour format in the 10 a.m. Sunday time slot.

Posted May 10, 2017
Paronella Park, in the heart of the Canecutter Way, is a Spanish Castle in a 5 Hectare garden beside Mena Creek Falls. It boasts a picnic area by the falls, tennis courts, bridges, a tunnel, hydro electric plant, and an amazing range of 7,500 tropical plants and trees (now a lush rainforest!). Paronella Park has received multiple Queensland tourism awards.
Built by Jose Paronella, a pastry chef from Barcelona, Paronella Park is the result of one man's dream and his tireless dedication to the task of making that dream a reality.
Construction began in 1929 with the Grand Staircase being built first to facilitate bringing the river sand up to the top level to make concrete.
According to Jose's grandson, Joe Paronella, the concrete was mixed in a machine made from a Model A Ford chassis, an old Mangle Washing Machine and a 44 Gallon Drum.
The Park was officially opened to the public in 1935 and became the social hub of the area with the theatre showing movies every Saturday night and hosting dances and parties with the canvas seats removed. Jose installed one of the first mirror balls in Australia - with over 1200 tiny mirrors.
During the 1960s, the movies stopped and the Hall became a popular wedding venue.
Most of the tropical plants Jose planted still survive in the park with the Kauri Pines towering over the avenue they form.
In 1993, the park was used in the filming of the movie Sniper - the "abandoned hotel in the jungle" is the Lower Refreshment Rooms at the tennis courts - Mena Creek Falls, the Kauri Avenue and the Bamboo Forest also feature in the film.
Paronella Park is still a popular venue for weddings, wedding proposals, music video location and many other events.
When you visit Paronella Park, your ticket is valid for 24 months and includes:
May 2017 saw the beginnings of bringing music back to the park with a performance by Camerata - Queensland's Chamber Orchestra. The performance was simply superb - with the enthralled audience including Jose's grandson, Joe Paronella, the Mayor of the Tablelands Regional Council. The musicians were as amazed by the venue as the audience was by their performance - the first time they have played in a rainforest, in the rain...
The 2019 Darkness Falls Tours from May to October, 2019 will feature a String Family concert to complete your transportation to another time.
Paronella Park was voted as the RACQ #1 Must Do in Queensland in 2014, Queensland Tourism Industry Council #1 Attraction in 2017, #1 Cultural Tourism Attraction in 2018 and RACQ People's Choice #1 Attraction in 2017 & 2018 for good reason - it is a magical place that will transport you to another time - be sure to include it in your Tropical Coast holliday plans.

Veteran Actress Fausat Balogun who has been acting for over 45 years in a new interview with PunchNg open up on the hardship Nollywood actors and actresses are facing in the indusrty. read excerpts below..
"Our leaders should have mercy on us. There is suffering in Nollywood. I just pray that God will make them have good thoughts towards us. If we are treated the way actors are treated in the western countries, you can imagine where we would be. The only thing keeping many of us here is the passion we have for the job. If not for that, some people would have resorted to selling wares at Oshodi. There are no structures in place and pirates are also dealing with us."
"If the industry is buoyant, there wouldn't even be mention of things like this. It is because of the hardship in the sector that some people engage in untoward acts."

A very local walk this evening taking in the butterfly reserve and quarry. main highlights were 6 Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers in the trees along Bumpers Lane and 4 species of butterfly & 2 moths. These were a Gatekeeper, Small Heath, Large White and Speckled Wood. The moths were at least 8 Garden Grass-veneer and 1 Silver Y
As I was heading back towards the quarry a quick look across the sea and there was HMS Diamond (D34) heading towards Portsmouth, though on the shipping map it was still east of the Isle of Wight.
A rather bedraggled Gatekeeper......
.........and a slightly better conditioned Small Heath.

Crates are large shipping containers generally made from wood and metal. These are also useful for transferring goods within a warehouse. Depending on the requirement, manufacturers can customize crates. Let's discuss the different types of crates and their usage.
Types of Crates According to Material
The primary use of crates is transporting goods from one place to another. Hence, the material for making crates should be durable enough to not break during transit. The most common types of crates include wooden crates, metal crates, and plastic crates.
Wooden Crates
Crates are synonymous with wooden crates as wood is the most common material used in making crates. Different types of wooden crates are made from plywood and lumber.
Properties of Wooden Crates
- Sturdy: Wooden crates are sturdy and can withstand the transit jerks. The products inside are also least prone to damage. Also, wooden crates are corrosion free.
- Customizable: User can customize the design and size of wooden crates.
- Stackable: Because of their stackability, one can ship many crates in large cargos in lesser space.
- Reusable: One can use wooden crates multiple times.
- Affordable: Since wood is available naturally, of all other types of crates, wooden crates are most affordable.
- Environment-friendly: Even after the wooden crate is trashed, there isn't any chemical damage to the environment.
Problems With Wooden Crates
The major disadvantage of wooden crates is they cannot withstand moisture. Although, this can be overcome by coating them with a layer of paint or varnish. But, this will increase the crate's cost and cannot guarantee the moisture barrier after multiple uses.
Some countries require treating overseas shipping containers according to ISPM 15 standards, also known as bug stamp to prevent the spread of insects and diseases.
When to Use Wooden Crate
Wooden crates are best suited for-
- Shipping packed food, cosmetics, clothing, hardware, etc.
- Handling delicate items like glassware, crockery, art and furniture pieces, etc.
- Stacking and storing products in a water-proof environment.
Metal Crates
Metal crates are heavier and therefore have restricted applications. Steel and aluminum are the common metals used for making metal crates. Other heavy metals like iron are not preferred these days because of the overhead weight.
Properties of Metal Crates
- Extremely strong: Metal crates are the strongest of all crates. Even the wired metal crates are stronger than wooden or plastic crates.
- Reusable and recyclable: Metal crates offer many time use. Given their reusability, there is not much need to recycle, but, metal crates are recyclable.
- Excellent Protection: Material inside metal are safest inside metal crates. These crates ensure protection against extreme hot and cold climate.
Problems With Metal Crates
Metal crates are heavy and are designed for specific use. Metals are also more expensive than wood and plastic. There are also limited metal crates manufacturers, hence these are not as easily available.
When to Use Metal Crates
Metal crates are useful for-
- Shipping through extreme conditions.
- Making Pet Kennels.
- Storing goods in an adverse atmosphere.
Plastic Crates
The term crate typically implies a large and strong container. Plastic crates are often smaller in size and are called as a case or container. With the advancement of plastic and packaging industry, different types of plastic crates are available in the market.
Properties of Plastic Crates
Plastic crates can be made from material ranging from high quality to low quality plastics. To ensure strength and reusability, plastic crates are generally made from HDPE plastic (High-Density Polyethylene).
- Chemical and moisture resistant: Plastic crates do not react with chemicals and neither do they corrode. This property makes them suitable for transporting a large variety of products.
- Lightweight: There isn't any overhead in shipping because of the weight of the plastic crates. These are also stackable.
- Compatible with assembly line: Manufacturers use plastic crates for organizing the raw and ready products directly in the assembly line.
- Reusable: One can reuse plastic crates a number of times before sending them for recycling.
- Recyclable: Plastic crates are recyclable. They can be moulded into other plastic product.
Problems With Plastic Crates
Although plastic crates present versatile use, they can carry limited weight. They may get distorted when hit by a strong force and cannot withstand very high temperature.
When to Use Plastic Crates
If you are in the fisheries or agriculture business, which requires handling wet products, plastic crates can be the best. Plastic crates made from the thermoforming process are useful in the pharmaceutical sector.
Plastic crates are useful in factories since they are compatible with the assembly and production line.
Types of Crates According to Design
The factors to consider while designing the crates are-
- The content of the crate
- Destination and the transit method
- Handling hazards
- Cost
- Storage
Shipping crates have a simple design and are generally cuboid in shape. However, the aim of using the material efficiently, different designs of crates are available. The most common crates design include- open, closed, and framed design. Let's discuss the different types of crates according to design.
Foldable Crates
Foldable crates can easily collapse to save space when not in use. These are generally made from HDPE plastic.
Properties of Foldable Crates
- Space saver: Foldable crates are space savers as they allow folding into sheet when not in use.
- Lightweight: Since foldable crates use plastic material, they are lightweight.
- Stackable: One can stack them both folded and unfolded.
Problems With Foldable Crates
Foldable crates involve hinge and lock mechanism to keep the structure in place when unfolded. This requires maintenance by oiling and greasing to keep them operable for a long time.
Also, there is a limitation to the weight they can carry.
When to Use Foldable Crates
Foldable crates are ideal for delivery from warehouse to retail stores upon orders.
Open or Cleated Crates
Open or cleated crates are the ones that use pieces of lumber or other material to create the structure. Typically, an open crate comprises 12 pieces of lumber, each along the outer edge. More lumber strips are placed diagonally to avoid distortion from torque.
Open crates generally use wood in its structure.
Properties of Open Crates
- Lightweight: Open crates are lighter in weight than sheathed crates because of less material use.
- Stackable: Like other types of crates, open crates are also stackable.
- Inexpensive: These are cheaper and can be made from pieces of leftover lumber.
Problems With Open Crates
Open crates can handle large-sized lightweight items only. Smaller products might fall from the gaps in the structure. Foldable crates are better than open crates as both serve the same purpose but foldable crates save space when not in use.
Do you know, the IATA (International Air Transport Association) doesn't allow crates on airplanes because it defines them as open transport containers.
When to Use Open Crates
Since open crates do not offer any protection from moisture, they are suitable for storing items in dry place. Open crates are suitable for transporting lighter items like cotton, hay, polythene, etc.
Sheathed (Closed) Crates
A sheathed or closed crate is completely enclosed with the material it is made of. Generally, wooden crates and plastic crates follow sheathed design.
In sheathed wooden crates design, the gaps between adjacent boards allow expansion. If the gaps between the boards exceed the width of the board, then it won't be a closed crate.
Properties of Sheathed Crates
- Complete enclosure: Sheathed crates offer complete product enclosure. This ensures protection from air, wind, water, and transit damages.
- Types of sheathed crates:
- Military crates- to carry weight up to 30,000 pounds.
- Limited military crates- to carry weight up to 2,000 pounds.
- Light-duty crates- to carry weight up to 1,000 pounds.
Problems With Sheathed Crates
Sheathed crates are costlier and heavier than other crates because of more material used in its design. For light shipping, you can consider using cleated crates.
When to Use Sheathed Crates
Sheathed crates are best for packaging items that need full protection by a closed container for overseas transfer.
Sheathed Crates With Pallet-Like Bottom
These are closed crates with a customized pallet-like bottom for the ease of moving. Pallets are a flat structure to support goods while lifting via forklift or crane.
Such crates are extremely large and generally contain a single unit of product for overseas transfers. The pallet bottom adds to the support of the crates.
Properties of Sheathed Crates With Pallet-Like Bottom
- Non-stackable: Because of the huge size, some crates are designed with a pallet-like bottom. These are not meant for stacking.
- Durable: These crates are durable and after shipping can be used for storage.
- Easy to move: Sheathed crates usually carry heavy items, with a pallet-bottom, they can move easily while transiting.
Problems With Sheathed Crates With Pallet-Like Bottom
Since these crates are extremely large and heavy, they require human intervention to assemble and transport. They cannot be easily customized because of the standard pallet size.
When to Use Sheathed Crates With Pallet-Like Bottom
For shipping delicate items like statues, antiques, and archaeological findings, sheathed crates with pallet-like bottom are most suitable.
To know more about types of pallets and their use, you can read here.
Wire-bound Crates
These are different from usual crates in a way they use metal wired support to withstand sidewall pressure.
Wire-bound crates also include metal crates. These are called dog crates because they are commonly used for pets. For convenience, these are also made with wheels.
Properties of Wire-bound Crates
- Corrosion free: Wire-bound crates are rust-free because these are generally made from stainless steel gauges.
- Strong protection: These crates are equal to wooden crates in terms of strength.
- Lightweight: Unlike sheathed crates, making wire-bound crates use less material. Still, they have comparable strength and durability.
Problems With Wire-bound Crates
Wire-bound crates cannot protect the products from the external environment.
When to Use Wire-bound Crates
When products don't need insulation, these crates are useful. For transferring pets wire-bound metal crates with doors are suitable.
For a detailed description of the design of different types of crates, you can refer to the Forest Products Laboratory Wood Crate Design Manual.
Types of Crates According to Reusability
Most of the times crates are reusable. They have a sturdy design to protect the products from damage during shipping. But, crates are also designed for single use by using low-cost material. This makes them economic for export.
One-Way Crates
These crates are suitable for one-way shipping and simple transits.
Properties of One-Way Crates
- Plywood is the most common material used to make these types of crates.
- Inexpensive: One-way crates are cheaper than other types of crates.
- Customizable: It is possible to add pallets, cardboard trays, and handles.
Problems With One-Way Crates
Because of the lighter material, one-way crates cannot handle heavyweights.
When to Use One-Way Crates
If you exporting goods, then one-way crates are useful.
Two-Way Crates
These crates are like one-way crates except the materials are more durable. They are useful for two-way shipping.
Properties of Two-Way Crates
Two-way crates are generally made from plywood and plastic material. These crates can withstand the transit torque more efficiently than one-way crates.
Problems With Two-Way Crates
There is a storage space overhead associated.
When to Use Two-Way Crates
When there are multiple stops or distributed destination, two-way crates for shipping goods is suitable.
Multiple Use Crates
These crates are reusable and can one can use them many times before finally discarding. Reusable or multiple use crates can be plastic, metal, or wooden crates. They have simple assembly and disassembling clips.
Properties of Multiple Use Crates
- Reusable: One can use multiple-use crates for years.
- Durable: These crates comprise a strong material and hence they last long.
- Environmentally sustainable: Such crates do not contribute to environmental pollution due to repeated manufacturing.
Problems With Multiple Use Crates
When not in use, storage is a problem with multiple-use crates. Also, these crates are expensive than one-way crates.
When to Use Multiple Use Crates
If you are in the logistics business or a manufacturer, you can opt for multiple use crates. Depending on your product requirement, you can choose the material of crates.
Types of Crates According to Its Material Handling Capability
Material handling is an important consideration for packing and shipping products overseas. Many businesses need special crates for handling heavyweight and delicate items.
Heavyweight Crates
Heavyweight crates are also known as heavy-duty crates. These are generally metal crates made from steel to endure heavyweight of the shipments. Such crates are customized with wheels to make moving heavy items easily.
Properties of Heavyweight Crates
- Strong material: Strong materials like stainless steel make this type of crates.
- Reusable: Such crates are strong enough to use many times.
- Durable: Heavyweight crates are durable. They are able to protect the products inside from side-pressure.
Problems With Heavyweight Crates
Because heavyweight crate comprises a heavy material, it is difficult to lift them. There is also a weight overhead associated while shipping.
When to Use Heavyweight Crates
For machinery parts, which are generally heavy, these crates are useful. Also, the items which need shipping in one-piece can use heavyweight crates.
Padded Crates (For handling delicate items)
Padding is important to protect the item from damage during transit. Padding for crates can be in the form of frame, cardboard, or foam.
Properties of Padded Crates
- Shock-proof: Padded crates ensure safety from jerks and turbulent transport.
- Padding: Padding frames are not reusable because they are product specific.
Problems With Padded Crates
There is a shipping overhead because of the extra material in the padded crates. Making good quality padded crates need expert supervision. Since padded crates are custom-made, these are expensive than other crates.
When to Use Padded Crates
For shipping delicate items, padded crates are useful.
Types of Crates According to Size
For shipping items overseas, people require both standard and custom size of crates. Standard crates are able to fulfill most of the shipping requirements. However, at times, custom crates become necessary for shipping distinct items.
Standard Crates
Standard ISO shipping containers are 8 feet (2.43 m) wide, 8.5 feet (2.59 m) high. They come in two lengths- 20 feet (6.06 m) and 40 feet (12.2 m).
Properties of Standard Crates
Hassle-free shipping: Using standard crates is easy for both- manufacturer and logistics service providers. The loading and unloading equipment are also easily available for standard crates.
These are also easy to arrange in cargos.
Problems With Standard Crates
For shipping delicate items like archeological findings, art, machinery, etc. standard crates need extra fillers.
When to Use Standard Crates
Most of the times, standard dimensions of crates are enough for shipping long-distance. Unless your business requires exclusive packaging, standard-crates ensure safe transit.
Customized Crates
Customized crates are the ones with custom dimensions. Adding handles, doors, and making compartments are common while customizing crates.
Properties of Customized Crates
- Product specific design: Of all types of crates, custom crates are specifically made for your product, hence they offer extra protection.
- Easy to handle: Customized crates solve the hassle of handling packaging different from standard ones.
Problems With Customized Crates
Making custom crates need extra tooling and expertise hence, these are expensive. Also, there are only a few manufacturers for custom crates.
When to Use Customized Crates
When the items you wish to ship need special care, you can customize the crates for secure transit. Before finalizing customized crates design, check the shipping guidelines of transit medium.5

Television was once considered the junk food of the arts world, a source of content that could turn even the most lively mind into a half-dead couch potato.
These days, TV viewers are no longer considered square-eyed zombies: rather, it's widely acknowledged that the masses are active consumers of televisual entertainment; that they have control over what, when and how they watch. Well, in most cases.
Among the veritable global smorgasbord of exciting and stimulating options available to viewers, Australia has been lagging behind (so often the case – we should consider renaming our anthem 'We'll-Catch-Up-With-Youse Australia Fair'). The recent arrival of streaming services like Stan and the much-anticipated local version of Netflix have pushed Australia into the present, and finally (finally!) our great national broadcaster has been obliged to catch up.
Immediately following its ABC1 debut on 19 July, all six episodes of Glitch were made available on ABC iView for viewers to lap up at their own pace – at home over the weekend, on the train on the way to work or even when they got to work.
Produced by the inimitable Matchbox Pictures, Glitch is a haunting drama about a fictional small town where the dead are climbing out of their graves and, seemingly, coming back to life. When local police officer James Haynes (Patrick Brammall) is called to Yoorana's cemetery, he's shocked to discover that one of the six hobbling, naked and mud-caked bodies emerging from the ground is his recently deceased wife Kate (Emma Booth). Alongside the quietly suspicious local doctor Elishia McKellar (Genevieve O'Reilly), James attempts to uncover the mystery around the sudden return of the dead, while hiding their return from the general public.
Each episode works to establish the identity of one of these six previously-dead, now undead strangers, and their individual connection to the town's history. This takes place via a series of surreal and cannily incorporated flashbacks that fuse the past and the present in eerie dissolves. These instalments are purposefully alluring and disorientating, accompanied by the haunting echoes of the series' soundtrack.

It's not always easy to radiate positivity, especially when your mental health is defying the often overbearing, enthusiastic life quotes on the internet. There's factors in the world that make it almost impossible to smile; you can wake up and feel that impending doom of the day ahead, something or someone can upset you or offend you and a downhearted mood can creep upon you. You can have the worst luck in the world, experience problems with a task you were determined to complete, be rejected, fight with a loved one, or switch on the news. You can feel as though there's no hope nor reason to think optimistically but then an occasion or a person may prove you wrong. You can participate in your favourite pastime and feel the happiness building or bubbling. Or simply, like me, despite every concept being considered, you absolutely do not smile even when you're on a high, because the reflection staring back at you as you smile with your teeth makes you scowl with disgust.
Now, here's where Whitewash Laboratories fly in to rescue me from recurrent horror. They recently kindly sent me some goodies to try out not only to provide expert dental care and sparkling results but to help improve my own confidence (and essentially the entire basis of and inspiration for this post has ascended from this marvelling Nano range so thanks guys, you the real MVP). The box consists of four products; whitening toothpaste, whitening mouthwash, anti stain floss, and a specially designed toothbrush. I've been trialling them now for a couple of months and I'm absolutely loving injecting some extra routine in my teeth cleaning with the added bonus of gorgeous, luxurious, golden packaging that sits pretty in your bathroom. With a combination of simple everyday items you could find on the supermarket shelves opposed to the strips and the coconut oil solution, it's become an easy regime to integrate into my daily life (and a lot more long lasting) – especially as by previous experience of trying different teeth whiteners, it provides the exact same results.
By means it's not a miracle worker and it's a gradual process that needs to be maintained, but by pairing all four together to create a gradual result of super squeaky clean, plaque free teeth and a brightened beam, it gives you a solid reason to smile till your heart's content. Mild minty taste toothpaste – check. Powerful rinse mouthwash – check. Super soft and spongy bristles that make reaching those hard to reach spots less complicated – check. Reduced sensitivity almost immediately – check. A polished finish that erases any surface stains, marks, or dullness – check. Re-mineralising to a fresh layer of smooth – check. Helping towards abolishing those insecurities – double check.
A dazzling smile is always noticeable and approachable; a key source of striking attention when you meet someone for the first time, or alternatively, randomly pass someone in the street as they're laughing carelessly with a friend and you think damn, what a beautiful smile (hands up if you've done that plenty of times). A smile holds great power. It bears benefits to the mood and the well-being. It's attractive. It's contagious. It can put you on the right path, lift your spirits and even allow someone else to get a pleasant reaction from it.
Sure you'll have your downfalls. I'll still curse my wonky shaped lip placement, my pointed chin and my chubby cheeks, I'll still loathe the way my teeth aren't your regular prominent, straight, in line structure. I'll still find it tough to plaster a smile across my face when I'm feeling less than chirpy and robust. I'll accept my grumpiness and the difficult worries and hiccups that may cause an impact and an abrupt stop to my merriment. I'll take time out for myself when I need it and I'll even carry on rocking my resting bitch face but you know what I'll also do? Appreciate my ability to smile. Relish in the ordinary candid moments that give you that warmth you need to make you smile. Howl with laughter at some ridiculous meme without a care in the world – so much so that I don't even think twice about showing my teeth. Thank the heavens above for the people I have around me. Spend hours watching my favourite TV show or movie with a box of tissues beside me to wipe away the inevitable tears. Order that pizza. Embrace the change in season and the way nature continues to swim with beauty despite the devastating disasters. Surprise my family with gestures out of sheer kindness and thought. Tell myself I do have time, there is hope for the future, you are succeeding and you should be proud of those steps you take. Fill my life with joy to overwrite those crestfallen setbacks that leave you feeling helpless. Smile.
Whether it be your best loved band announcing a tour, a trip away, an indulgent treat, a series of ab-induced laughter with the close ones that don't require nor have you thinking about materialism, the sound of a baby's giggle, a breath of fresh air or even just a plain embracing hug – there's plenty to be gracious for. It's you choosing to reflect on this and work those face muscles that matters.
*some of these items may have been sent for me to review, please see my full disclaimer for more information.
