Filling up the posts of posts in Higher Selection Grade-l (HSG) in Savings Bank Control Organisation (SBCO) and Circle Office and Regional Offices (CO/RO) in Postal Circles-Reg.
No. D.G. Posts No. No.04.20/2013-SPB.ll Dated 25 June, 2013.
I am directed to refer to Directorate's letter No.'4-44t2012-SPB-ll dated 18.04,2013 requesting the Circles to fill up the posts in HSG-I in Post Offices and RM$ Offices by convening Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) Meeting for, promoting HSG-ll officials in PO & RMS Offices as per the provisions of existing Recruitment Rules.
2. References have been received from some Circles seeking clarifications as to whether DPC meeting can be convened for HSG.I posts in $BCO and CO/ RO cadre.
3. Earlier, Directorate had never issued any instructions to the Circles that DPC meeting should not be held for filling up HSG.I posts in SBCO and CO as per the provisions of existing Recruitment Rules of these cadres. The onus, therefore, lies on the Circles to hold DPC meetings regularly to fill up the posts in SBCO and CO as per the provisions contained in the existing Recruitment Rules.

In this corner (of Harry's train compartment), we have Team Snake. In the other corner, we have… Team Gryff?
Team Snake
When Draco bursts into Harry's compartment with his cohorts Crabbe and Goyle, we are given our official introduction to Slytherin's future "shadow Trio." These boys know each other already, though we we have to get a little deeper into the story to find out how.
As it happens, Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle are the sons of Death Eaters who all apparently avoided imprisonment in Azkaban at the end of the First Wizarding War.
On first sight, Harry notices of Draco's friends that…
"Both of them were thickset and looked extremely mean. Standing on either side of the pale boy, they looked like bodyguards."
Physically at least, they seem to be more than a match for Harry and Ron, yet when things turn nasty after Harry rebuffs Draco's offer of "guidance," the future Gryffindors stand up to these much larger future Slytherins. Just like a good Gryff should.
Team Gryff
But unlike the Slyther-friends, there is no such cohesiveness on Team Gryff ("Team Lion" doesn't sound quite as good).
These kids barely know each other, and so our future main Trio is currently in disarray. But they remind me of something… my "gutty little Bruins" from UCLA, where I attended Grad School.
You know about teams like this, right? Statistically speaking, they don't come close to matching up with the opposing team, and nobody would ever pick them in fantasy sports. They're smaller than their rivals. They don't have as much money. They often seem to have less talent. But they play with lots of heart, and they appear fearless, regardless of the odds.
That would be our Gryffindors.
A Closer Look at Team Gryff
On the train to Hogwarts, our future gutty Gryffs do not look impressive, so let's look at their lineup:
Harry: A Half-Blood Wizard boy raised in a Muggle family. For the first time in his life, Harry is confronted with the fact that he's famous and people are expecting "great things" of him. But he has spent his life bullied by his cousin and treated like a slave by his aunt and uncle. He fears that the kids raised in Wizarding families will know loads more magic than he does. And worse, he worries that maybe there's been some horrible mistake and that no House at Hogwarts will have him.
Ron: A Pureblood Wizard boy raised in a very large family. As the sixth child, Ron doesn't even have a new wand or pet. In fact, when he tries to perform "magic" on his hand-me-down pet rat, we find that a unicorn hair is sticking out of his wand. Though he's not famous like Harry, he still has a lot to live up to. His older brothers have excelled at Hogwarts. Among them are Quidditch players, Prefects, and even a Head Boy.
Hermione: A Muggle-born Witch also raised in a Muggle family. Hermione is an overachiever who becomes more talkative and pretentious the more nervous she is. She shows off her knowledge at every given opportunity and bosses the boys around. This is not a fortuitous beginning. Her future spouse Ron, in particular, just can't stand having her around. In fact, he hopes to sort into some House that she's not in. (Ah, true love! Was it ever more obvious?)
Well, there you have the Trio. And then, there's the hanger-on…
Neville: A Pureblood Wizard boy who seems completely hapless and hopeless. On the train, he's lost his toad. In the future, he will forget his password (and everything else that isn't tied down), botch Potions, be nearly incapable of producing any magic, and just generally embarrass the proud Gryffindor heritage. But Neville has a secret, and that secret is most likely the key to his magic problems.
I have to confess, I thought Neville was just comic relief when I first got to know him. But of all the kids, his transformation is possibly the most beautiful. This boy is a true and worthy Gryffindor. But right now? It's all hidden. You would never know.
And that's pretty much the way with Team Gryff. Like the gutty little Bruins, these kids don't look like much. But you underestimate them at your own peril!
Team Gryff vs. Team Snake
In the first matchup, by the way, Team Gryff wins on a Deus ex Machina. Ron's pet rat bites Goyle on the knuckle when he and Crabbe try to use their intimidating size to dig in to Harry's and Ron's Chocolate Frogs. Whatever possessed the (former Gryffindor, current Death Eater in hiding) rat to bite, I guess we'll never know. But I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Speaking of which… I've seen the site stats. I know you're out there. But man, are you quiet!
There are lots of Slytherin fans in Potter fandom, and lots of fans of Gryffindor. How do you feel about the Gryffindor / Slytherin rivalry? Which side are you on and why? What do you think of this first encounter… before the kids even sort into their respective Houses?
Would love to hear your perspectives!

This is part 2 of the series "How to convert the
Waveterm into a real computer."
How do you convert a Waveterm into a real computer?
Well, the first problem - attaching a keyboard - has already been solved.
The next important step - it needs the capability to speak to the outside world, not only to other PPG instruments. To reach that, you can activate the serial interface that's an invisible part of the Waveterm. Here's how.
Attention: for now, this part and the next one are limited to the Waveterm A and upgraded Waveterm B based on an Eurocom II motherboard, as the later version of the Waveterm B unfortunately doesn't have a serial interface. I'm sorry, folks. Really.
When designing the Waveterm, some unfortunate (in my opinion) design decisions were made - everything not strictly necessary for the use of the Waveterm in the PPG System has been hidden or removed... such as the serial interface.
On Paul Maddox' PPG-CDROM, there is, amongst other treasures, a Service Manual for the Waveterm B that contains 3 schematics for the Eurocom II. The scan quality isn't really great, but sufficient for my purposes - I could determine that there had to be a serial interface on the Eurocom, and where. And hoorray - when I opened it, the chip was in place!
The interface implemented in the Eurocom is an 6850 ACIA. This chip allows to implement a minimal serial interface with only a handful of external components. "Minimal", since only the really necessary control lines are available. These are:
If you consider the "full implementation", as you can find in a PC, the following lines are missing:
Well... these aren't extremely important anyway.
One more's missing in this special case... the Eurocom II creators obviously didn't think that anybody would use a modem with the Eurocom, so they didn't connect the CD line.
Boy Scout Romanticism
Finding the connector pins used for the serial interface was a very time-consuming task, since it is impossible to take that from the CD-ROM's Service Manual (which is a scan of a copy of a copy of a copy made a long time ago) - so I had to search for the pin layouts of all needed components on the Internet and then had to trace the lines on the board with the help of a happily beeping Digital Multimeter ("call me R2-D2" :-). Anyway - I did it!
You Are Here
To ease understanding of the following instructions, here's a slightly reduced picture of the Eurocom, with the relevant parts marked:
Additional Hardware
The serial interface of the Eurocom II V7 is routed to connector ST4. This connector is unused in the Waveterm; none of the signals available there is used. To use it, you need a 26-pin PCB connector for flat cables (plus cable, of course), which can be easily obtained in any electronics store (if you're unsure what to buy... something like that). I'd recommend using about 50-60cm (about 2' for those who only pay lip service to ISO standards :-) flat cable. While the length isn't critical for RS-232, you don't need more.
For my interface, I took a part of my PC hardware junk collection - many years ago, when men were still men and PC motherboards were still built in AT format, but already highly integrated, the parallel ports normally were connected using exactly this 26-pin PCB connector. I unsoldered the female DB25-connector from the cable and attached a male connector instead (including cable, using a serial connector from the same deceased PC :-).
Now we need a RS-232-connector... these are available in DB25 and DB9 format. It is absolutely unimportant which one you use (provided you have a matching null-modem counterpart). The following lines have to be connected:
I would suggest that you don't cut the unnecessary lines of the 26-pin flat cable too short - there's surely more that can be done with ST4... but that isn't part of this instruction.
Perfectionists can use a fretsaw to cut a matching hole into the back of the Waveterm - I've simply let the DB25 connector (shielded in a plastic case) hang out of the Waveterm on the backside; when you tighten the screws of the hood, it's quite secure.
Connecting this cable to ST4 is easy - Pin 1 is marked with a little arrow on ST4. If the Eurocom is placed like on the above picture, it's on the right side.
OK, so now we got a line to the rest of the world. How do we get the Waveterm to talk over it, and that in a manner that can be understood?
To accomplish this, hardware and software adjustments have to be made.
The ACIA is driven by a Single Baud Rate Generator that delivers the frequency. For that, a little DIP switch block is placed on the Eurocom (labeled "Rate" on the picture above). Seen from the front side, it has the following standard settings (provided the former owner of my Waveterm hasn't fiddled with it :-):
The baud rate is adjusted with switches 1-4. Wolfgang Schwotzer, creator of the FlexEmu 6809 emulator package, kindly provided their settings to me.
Additionally, the ACIA can be programmed to divide the input frequency by 16 or by 64 (normally, Eurocom programs, starting with the monitor up, initialize it to divide the input frequency by 16). This results in the following baud rate table:
In the near future, I will also provide Waveterm software here that uses the division by 16; to use my (and most other) software, I would suggest that you use the middle column to set the DIP switches.
File Transfer - The Better Way
Since the hardware problem has already been solved, I'll now move to the software side. Here you can find programs and ways to exchange files and disk images between the Waveterm and your PC.

Without a doubt I've been most impacted by digital video. I began my career at Accenture in 2001. We were working on project teams that were split geographically. Half of us were in San Ramon, CA and the other half of our team worked from St. Louis. We were always on conference calls together, working closely together, but I was always based in San Ramon. With so many conference calls and phone meetings multiple times a day, we got to really know each our project team members' voices. I remember when they told me that they needed me in St. Louis, and I finally got to make the trip and meet our teammates in person in out there. It was crazy to finally see their faces! For more than two years I'd worked with these people and never seen their faces, and now people didn't look at all what I'd imagined! Personalities on the phone didn't at all match who they were in person. It was the craziest adjustment to meet people for the first time who I'd known for so long already.
I use video daily in my current career. Just today I learned a new feature about Zoom, but it's just so dang easy to connect, hear people in the room, see people with webcams now. It's crazy that 17 years have gone by, but holy crapola – what a difference from the phone-only conference calls. Video has had a huge impact on my job with faculty support. With video I can build those relationships, share the information, connect with an audience. I personally love it as a way to express myself and share what I'm learning, and just be me. So, in that way, yes, I think my own professional identity has shifted as a result. I was not very comfortable in front of the camera before, but I've really grown to be quite comfortable in that space now. I realize the impact that it has, and I use it intentionally to establish that rapport, convey the empathy, teach, learn, inspire. I think that there's so much ahead of us, in terms of the potential of video to connect us. It'll be cool to be part of it.

Extra Thick
Customer Reviews
Bags perform as promised. Prevent bad odors after use.
Nice thickness! Ran out and bought different brand. Was not happy!
They have not broken on me once! Biodegradable and sturdy. I used to buy bags on eBay but the company I previously used no longer existed. Also, I was checking out the reviews of other poop bag companies and if you've ever had a bag break on you while you're picking up your 62 lbs dogs poop 💩, 😝 you know it's super gross. So reviews on this were helpful. Then you just gotta take the plunge and buy it at least once. Also, my husky has a very healthy digestive system so she goes like 5 times a day! I did not give my review right away because I wanted to give it time. I ordered the big box and now that I'm on my second order, these are tried and true fantastic. Of course it's gonna smell a little because it's poop you have in the bag (not roses 🥀 😄) but they're biodegradable so it's worth it for the environment. Just find the nearest trash bin and you'll survive. They have scented but I just go with regular. I wouldn't mind trying the scented ones later though. Hope this helps! ;)
Convenient, smell nice, and large enough for my labradors (after picking up I don't get any on my hand). I use them in my yard and when taking my dogs on walks. Used for several years. I do like the earth friendly aspect, but you do have to be careful as the bags are made of thinner plastic then plastic bags for grocery produce. Love them!
We love Pogi's bags for the simple fact they are biodegradable. This is the most important aspect to me as we use a ton since our dogs go most places with us and cleaning up after your dog is just as important as cleaning up after yourself. Aside from that they are sturdy, large enough to handle our big dogs and smell nice 😊

Keep the name Memorrha in mind in 2019
One thing we know for sure about ancient and/or alien civilizations in adventure games: they certainly do love their puzzles! Good thing for us, of course, as we get to follow in their tracks and figure out how everything works. This will be the case once again in indie German developer StickyStoneStudio's upcoming Memorrha.
As with most puzzle-adventures of this sort, story details are sparse, but players will find themselves alone and caught up in a "voyage of discovery following the traces of a mysterious culture." Free to explore in realtime, first-person 3D, it is your task to "discover diverse landscapes, investigate abandoned artifacts, and wake strange machines from their slumber." Only when you begin to unravel the mystery will you come to "learn the truth about those who came before you" and perhaps even "find your destiny in this secretive world."
The game's early screenshots and trailer show off several vibrantly colourful environments that await, and tease some of the many unusual contraptions to overcome along the way. You will need to "catalog symbols and pictograms using your scanner" in order to solve puzzles that will range in difficulty from easy to hard. The obstacles in your path present a core mechanic that "constantly develops over the duration of the game," which "results in new puzzle types, presenting the player with even greater challenges." Solving new puzzles will "influence the game world and reward players with more areas to explore," leading to a total projected play time of 8-10 hours.
Originally started as a project by two students at Offenburg University, Memorrha is now drawing nearer to release, though it will still be next summer before seeing the game released on Steam for Windows and Mac, and a bit longer after that for console ports. In the meantime, you can follow its progress through the game's official website.

It is based on a national permit or equivalent and contains information that can assist in monitoring the utilisation of genetic resources by users. An IRCC provides evidence that the user has accessed a genetic resource legally and in accordance with prior informed consent (PIC) and that mutually agreed terms (MAT) have been established, as required by the domestic ABS legislation or regulatory requirements of the provider country. Article 17 of the Nagoya Protocol states that the internationally recognized certificate of compliance shall contain the following minimum information when it is not confidential:
- Issuing authority;
- Date of issuance;
- The provider;
- Unique identifier of the certificate;
- The person or entity to whom prior informed consent was granted;
- Subject-matter or genetic resources covered by the certificate;
- Confirmation that mutually agreed terms was established;
- Confirmation that prior informed consent was obtained;
- Commercial and/or non-commercial use.
An overview of all published IRCCs is available on the ABS Clearing-House website.
Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)
An MTA is a contract between a provider and a recipient of genetic material, specifying the terms and conditions of the transfer of such material. It covers the rights and obligations of the provider and the recipient, and specifies how benefits are to be shared. An MTA may govern the transfer of any genetic resource, whether in the form of whole organisms, seeds, embryos, cells and cell lines, plasmids, and DNA, but MTA may also be used for other types of materials, such as chemical compounds and even some types of software.
Three types of MTA's involving genetic resources are most common: those concerning transfer between academic or research institutions, transfer from academia to companies, and transfer from companies to academia. In the case of transfer from farming communities, these communities and/or the government authorities may be involved in concluding an MTA. The latter are also to be involved in the case of collection of genetic resources from natural areas.
The SMTA of the ITPGRFA is a particular MTA, which has the same standard conditions for every user and provider.
Mutually Agreed Terms (MAT)
National Focal Point (NFP)
Prior Informed Consent (PIC)
In the present context, prior informed consent means approval for access to and utilisation of genetic resources by the authorities of the country where access is sought. Users should always check whether a given country requires PIC. When PIC is required, the provider must be made fully aware of the planned utilisation, and must explicitly agree with this before any transfer of material takes place. In practice, this means that the CNA of the providing country must be informed of and approve the planned research and utilisation. The user seeking access needs to provide all relevant information and ensure that the government or other responsible authority obtains this information.
Depending on national legislation in the country concerned, it may also be necessary to involve other stakeholders (such as local and/or indigenous communities managing farmers' varieties or sharing knowledge on plants with medicinal value) in the PIC process. In such cases, obtaining PIC from those stakeholders will form a prerequisite for obtaining PIC from the relevant government authorities.
In other words, when required by national legislation, you need PIC from the CNA of a country for access to genetic materials and accompanying information. You may also need the consent of local and/or indigenous communities if you wish to collect farmers' varieties or to use traditional knowledge about genetic resources, or from local authorities if you wish to collect genetic material from the wild, for instance wild crop relatives.
Registered collection
Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA) of the ITPGRFA
The SMTA is an MTA in a mandatory form for parties wishing to provide and receive material from the MLS of the ITPGRFA. It may not be changed or abbreviated in any way for the purpose of distribution of material placed in the MLS.
The SMTA is an agreement under private contract law between the particular providers and recipients but the Governing Body (defined in article 19 of the ITPGRFA), represented by FAO as the Third-Party Beneficiary, is recognised as having an interest in the agreements. This means that FAO can take appropriate action if it considers that a provider or recipient has not complied with the conditions of the SMTA.
The SMTA of the ITPGRFA can be considered as an internationally recognised certificate of compliance for materials accessed under the ITPGRFA that are not listed in Annex I of the ITPGRFA.
Traditional Knowledge
There is no formal legal definition of traditional knowledge. In the absence of such a definition, the term traditional knowledge should be understood in the light of Article 8(j) of the CBD. It may thus be interpreted in an ABS context to mean knowledge associated with genetic resources held or developed by indigenous and local communities in the framework of their traditional lifestyles. Traditional knowledge does not have to be old to qualify as traditional. The term "traditional" here refers to the context in which the knowledge was generated.
The value of traditional knowledge of specific genetic resources might equal or exceed that of the genetic resources themselves. It follows that the provisions relating to Access and Benefit-Sharing also apply to specific information associated with genetic materials, indigenous knowledge or traditional knowledge. It should be noted that the Nagoya Protocol contains separate and equivalent articles on genetic resources and on traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources (e.g. in Articles 6 and 7; Articles 15 and 16), and that the SMTA of the ITPGRFA refers explicitly to available related information (Articles 4 and 5b).

gauravD reacted to a post in a topic: [Solved]How to limit the shooting direction of the sprite??
Okay. Fixed. http://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/6acmp7h5/ Turns out Phaser uses physics.p2.pxmi (pxm inverse) to anchor a prismatic joint - https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser-ce/blob/master/src/physics/p2/PrismaticConstraint.js#L39 BUT, physics.p2.pxm to anchor a linear spring - https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser-ce/blob/master/src/physics/p2/Spring.js#L59 What is up with this ?
khleug35 reacted to a post in a topic: [Solved]How to limit the shooting direction of the sprite??
[Solved]How to limit the shooting direction of the sprite??You need to add the same angle constraints to bullet firing too. So instead of firing when the pointer is down, if (game.input.activePointer.isDown){ fire(); } you fire when the pointer is down and your sprite follows your angle constraints. if (game.input.activePointer.isDown && sprite.angle >= -90 && sprite.angle <=90){ fire(); }
You are right - works flawlessly in p2.js - http://www.physicstoy.com/383# Seems like the Phaser P2 plugin then. Will investigate some more today and get back to you!

Can I make a menu screen that plays a "scene" ? How?Like @casey said, animations (tweens) and timers will help you. An example - https://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/L422hqk9/
samme reacted to a post in a topic: sending to back not working?
sending to back not working?Hi Casey. Children of a group will be rendered in the order in which they are added (unless of course you change the order with functions like sendToBack()). Because you add the background first, it will be rendered before everything else (so you don't need the call to sendToBack() on bg), and the text should appear on top - https://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/r6v7sLkw/ Perhaps, you are changing the group's order somewhere else in your code?
Oh right! I stand corrected
samme reacted to a post in a topic: Problems due to world's scaling
Cool Your fiddle was using an older version. You can always check what version you are using - Phaser prints it in your console! Um, depends on how you are including it. It might look like <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/phaser/2.6.2/phaser.min.js"></script> //Or If you have downloaded the source, it could be something like: <script type="text/javascript" src="../libs/phaser/phaser.min.js"></script> You can update to phaser-ce by 1. Grabbing the latest source from https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser-ce and including it in your project ( with something like <script type="text/javascript" src="../libs/phaser/phaser.min.js"></script>) OR 2. Pointing to a newer phaser source with <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/phaser-ce/2.9.4/phaser.min.js"></script>
TomLeGrand reacted to a post in a topic: Problems due to world's scaling
It does render quads. But it uploads the entire buffer every frame - come to think of it, this will usually be necessary if all/most objects in the scene move. I was working on a game where a few hundred quads would remain static throughout and other objects (quads) moved. Uploading just the bufferSubData() helped me with performance significantly! Also, are you using multi texture batching? You might also want to try Phaser 2.6.2; Apparently, it performs much better than the current ce version. PS Could you please check the number of draw calls you get with webGL?
p2js prismatic springsHi. Prismatic and Spring joints in p2js seem pretty straightforward. I was wondering why using constant rest length, stiffness and damping for a spring would change its behavior when a body's local anchor is changed. Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/83bkhr3f/ (phaser/p2js template from inkfood) From the fiddle, all the springs use share the same parameters except the local anchor of body A. Why do the springs behave differently? :/
Hey. Poor webGL performance could be due to a few things aside from phaser.debug. Because your scene is large, it might be due to Phaser(pixi) uploading entire buffers on the GPU every render frame. Perhaps, some profiling could help you? Check out #356!
Hi Tom. Camera follow has been fixed in a newer version of Phaser. You should update to either phaser-ce or 2.6.2 Because you move the camera around, the pointer's arctan to the player will not be computed correctly if you use the pointer's local (x,y). You need the arctan from the pointer's (x,y) in world coordinates. Passing the world to moveToPointer(), will use the pointer's world coordinates (this is not intuitive, I know). game.physics.arcade.angleToPointer(player, game.input.activePointer, game.world); With these changes in, check out : https://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/tmnen92m/

wexing reacted to a post in a topic: P2 physics overflow static body
P2 physics overflow static bodyHi wexing. What do you mean by overflow? The ball slightly entering the right_hoop ? This might be due to tunnelling. AFAIK, p2js only partially supports Continuous Collision Detection, if at all. Making the hoop rects slightly wider, will help - https://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/cb0z6yb7/
Phaser P2 Physics going weird?Hey Teonnyn. You get this behavior because the point (X, Y) is on the physics world boundary. If your body is set to collide with world boundaries (which it is by default), and you create it on the boundary, the collision will force the body out with an impulse. https://jsfiddle.net/gauravdixitv/q3yjsk9e/ set the variable center to false, and you will see the ball behaving like it does in your code. If you want your ball to come in from outside, make the world bigger

Shaun Livingston: Point guard might move into Warriors' front office
Editor's note: The Chronicle is reviewing the 2018-19 season of each Warriors player.
Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston often calls this stage of his career "house money."
Twelve years removed from a knee injury so gruesome that doctors briefly considered amputating his leg, Livingston, 33, is just thankful to still be walking — much less, to have won three NBA titles.
His achy left knee serves as a near-constant reminder of all he had to overcome to reach this point. As he weighs retirement this summer, Livingston feels at peace knowing his story provides an example of perseverance for any player who faces a career-threatening injury.
What many NBA fans might not know is that, just to suit up for Warriors games last season, Livingston had to spend hours each day with the training staff. His pregame routine included a rotation of ice and a heat pad on his left knee, leg stretches and muscle-building exercises.
Even then, Livingston often returned to the locker at halftime to find his left knee swelling. Periodic rest days weren't enough to keep the pain from worsening significantly as the season progressed.
Livingston played 64 regular-season games, his fewest in six years. Although he shot 51.9% from the field, Livingston's scoring average (4 points per game) was a career low and his assists aveage (1.8 per game) was a tenth of a point off a career low.
In the past, Livingston had purposely eased into the regular season, ensuring that he was at his best for the playoffs. But when the postseason arrived this time, he had little left to offer. His 4 points, 1.4 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 45.3% shooting were career playoff lows.
Offseason outlook: Only $2 million of the $7.7 million in Livingston's contract for next season is guaranteed. The Warriors, who could be staring down a $375 million payroll, might not want to endure that $5.7 million hit for a past-his-prime point guard with chronic knee pain.
If Golden State waives him before all $7.7 million of next season's contract becomes guaranteed Sunday, Livingston will almost certainly retire. As he told The Chronicle in April, "I've been able to accomplish some pretty cool things. I reached my goal, as far as making it back into the league (from a severe knee injury) and obviously being a part of a championship team."
Livingston would rather start a career in an NBA front office, perhaps with Golden State, than sign a veteran-minimum contract elsewhere. Livingston has already talked to Warriors general manager Bob Myers about potential opportunities.

Approximately 30 individuals joined Rep. Mark Bryant, Rep. Patrick Corey, Senator Bill Diamond, Rep. Dale Denno, Rep. Sue Austin, Rep. Jess Fay, Rep. Lester Orday and Rep. Phyllis Ginzler at Saturday's forum that began with a half hour of "Meet and Greet" followed by a 1 ½ hour Question and Answer Session.
The forum portion of the event began promptly at 10:30 a.m. with Jon Shaw, of Shaw BrothersConstruction, being the first to express several legislative concerns. The first issue was regarding the Marijuana Bill, known as the Marijuana Legalization Act. Shaw's concern was regarding the portion of the bill that speaks to the testing of individuals' medical marijuana use. "To not be able to test people puts the risk on our companies," explained Shaw regarding the use of company trucks and equipment while under the influence.
Both Diamond and Corey explained that there is no bill as of yet, and that the act is still in transition.
Shaw also spoke to the delegation regarding his concerns about the electric car, in which he urged caution on raising gas taxes. He also mentioned the subject of solar substitutes.
"This is the perfect time to hear your concerns," Diamond stated, explaining that the bills Shaw mentioned are under discussion and consideration. "Your input is invaluable, is heard and will be considered."
Raymond Town Manager, Don Willard, ask the legislative members about the installation of broadband infrastructure across the state. "Speaking from a municipality's point of view, broadband internet will have a significant economic contribution to the town," Willard began. "I'd like to see the State of Maine in a leadership role, so we don't get left behind. If Southern Maine is the economic engine we are going to be in a world of hurt if we can't keep up with the competition."
Fay and Denno concurred that Maine's economy will benefit from broadband installation and Diamond explained that the Cumberland County Government is making great strides in the direction of broadband.
The issue of Hydropower came up as well, with Massachusetts in the process of purchasing wind
energy from Canada – which would require a line to come through Maine.
energy from Canada – which would require a line to come through Maine.
"I think there is a deal to be made for the line to come through Maine. It is something we need to look into," Ordway stated.
Fay explained that the DEP is looking into this issue, considering local ordinances, and environmental regulations, etc.
David Pollard, owner of Spring Meadows Golf Club, spoke about LD1853, the Act to Improve Environmental Oversight. Pollard's concern was with municipalities' ability to override the state regulations with pesticides. "It scares me as a golf club owner that municipalities can supersede these regulations," Pollard explained "We need protection of our golf courses as a tourist attraction. I am for environmental protection and we want to do everything right. We file annual reports and there have been no significant changes in the waterways [from monitored pesticide use on the course]."
Ordway agreed that protection of golf course is needed, and Corey pointed out that the bill is still non-concurrent.
Ryan Harmon expressed concern regarding LD1781- the act to encourage new major investments in shipbuilding facilities and the preservation of jobs as it relates to Bath Iron Works. Diamond stated that he will not support something that will jeopardize Bath Iron Works.
|Jennie Butler speaks to the delegation
Jennie Butler spoke to the delegation regarding the lack of coordination of senior services to include transportation as it relates to aging in place. Butler is caring for an elderly parent and spoke about the services that would be helpful in her caregiving role.
Fay referred to the Age Friendly Communities that are growing in Maine. Age friendly community initiatives focus on areas such as housing, caregiving, community engagement, volunteering, social inclusion and combating isolation among older citizens. There are 44 communities in Maine that are established as or in the process of becoming age friendly with Raymond being among one of them.
Peter Garland of First Light Homecare asked about Medicaid expansion. Diamond explained that nothing is going to come to a halt as of yet. In fact, the decision regarding this issue will be considered in the next administration.
Windham Town Councilor, Jarrod Maxfield, spoke about concerns regarding the lack of strategic planning on the state level (an issue brought up earlier in the forum by Denno) as well as the controversial private road issues and how it is up to local municipalities to rectify.
Ginzler addressed Maxfield's first concern, "In the last eight years, we have moved the state to economic health that wasn't available eight years ago."
Maxfield was encouraged by the delegation to speak with the gubernatorial candidates for the next election, as they will be the real drivers behind the private road issue in the next four years.
For more detailed information about the public forum, a video will soon be available. Contact the Sebago Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce at 207-892-8265 with questions about the forum or to access the video.
The Chamber extends a special thanks to Saint Joseph's College, First Light Home Care and Switech
Productions for sponsoring the event.

DIY King Bed Frame with Storage – A platform bed frame is the simplest design available; which consists of a simple sheet of wood, low to the ground, on which the mattress can rest. Platform beds can be placed on shelves and drawers to create storage space, placed on pedestals to achieve a certain height or built with short legs to achieve both objectives. Plans for a standard matrimonial mattress can be used for a California king simply by changing dimensions of wood.
The first step is place a rectangle with the 80-inch beams as the sides and two 73-inch beams. Locate inside the 80-inch beams as the top and bottom edges. All beams should rest on narrow sides (2 inches) wide. Next is fix the rectangle shape with two screws per corner, drilling the screws through the face of an 80-inch beam and at the end of a 73-inch beam.
And then fit the remaining four 73-inch beams into the rectangular frame of DIY king bed frame with storage to form the ribs. These beams, also provided on their narrow sides, should be aligned parallel to the other 73-inch beams and spaced approximately 15 inches from each other and the frame terminated. After that, screw the four beams into place as did the original weft, using two screws per joint point.
Place the plywood sheet on the top of the frame so that the edges of the sheet are flush with the edges of the frame. Screw the plywood sheet into place with one screw per corner, drilled through the plywood and into the beams. Drill an additional screw in the center of each short side and two screws, spaced evenly, on each long side. And the last step of all is sand the flat surface of the plywood and the outer face of the rectangular frame. It will gives you special touch of DIY king bed frame with storage.

Note: I profusely thank every last person who has reviewed my story so far. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! They've all been so wonderful and full of praise, which makes me happy. Seriously, if I didn't get reviews, there would be no story.
His head spun and his heart beat irregularly in his chest, though it clearly desired to be somewhere else. He could not believe what they had just done, what had just happened. Their relationship with Cuddy was most likely ruined, if not forever, then for an extremely long period of time during which the world might come to an end or pigs would learn to fly. Wilson didn't care that that term was cliché; it wasn't as if his brain particularly cared about coming up with creative phrases when it was too preoccupied with the fact that they'd probably just screwed up half their lives. No way Cuddy was just going to let this whole thing blow over and give them her full support. They were all going to become distant and it was going to become very awkward for them to work together...House and he might be forced to find new jobs. He hoped immensely that it wouldn't come to that. He hoped that they all had the good sense and maturity to behave like adults.
As he zipped through the lobby to reach the front doors, a shoulder rammed into him, alerting him to the fact that House was trying to keep up with his fast pace. At once, he slowed down, reaching the doors and holding one open. House shot him an odd look as he passed.
They were both rather quiet in the car, both ruminating over their own individual worries about the situation, and hardly spoke up when they arrived at the loft, went inside, and simultaneously collapsed on the couch. Evidently bored with the quiet after a while, House powered up the flatscreen and began channel surfing, but Wilson knew he was still thinking. House liked to have background noise or something to focus a little of his attention on when he was thinking about something serious. He, himself, found the familar drone of House's favorite television shows oddly comforting. It felt normal. And things were certainly not normal.
When House got bored with the TV, he began to try and get Wilson's attention, which had wandered over to a blank space by the window in the direction of the kitchen. He was wondering about love now. Cuddy still loved House, but was House in love with Cuddy? Somehow, he didn't really think so. They had something, sure, but...he let that thought trail off in a mindless circle until it came back around, transformed. He wondered if House was already falling in love with him, like he had predicted. Like Cuddy had suggested. Between the two of them - was it possible to be wrong?
"Hm?" he answered vaguely.
"What?" His eyes were unfocused, still deep in thought. House flicked his ear; he jerked his head as if trying to rid himself of a pesky mosquito.
"Let's have sex."
This time, he jerked his head around, nearly snapping his neck, to stare at House, sitting beside him with a perfectly blank expression. He scoffed, his stomach back in his throat for the hundredth time that day. "Screw you."
House chuckled. "You should thank me instead. I yanked you out of fantasy-land or maybe House-land if you prefer."
Wilson rolled his eyes, unable to deny that it was safer to stay in reality than take a trip to House-land.
"I need you to entertain me."
"Go play your organ," he suggested, slightly irritable for reasons he couldn't quite explain.
"Oh," House groaned and pouted at him, batting his eyelashes. "Is someone about to act like a Mister Grumpy-Pants?"
Wilson said nothing.
"Did you want to have sex?"
"God, House, yes."
House hummed and looked toward the ceiling, seemingly in contemplation. "Well," he then said as if having made a difficult decision. "It might take a minute, but...I'm pretty sure I could get you to the point where you would say that again. Of course, it would be at a much higher pitch - "
Wilson swallowed, returning his gaze to the space by the window. Damn him for saying something like...he hadn't been with anyone in nearly two months. The slightest suggestive comment from anyone was bound to set him off. That, combined with the tension they both felt because of Cuddy, and their own tension between them...Wilson became very aware of the heat coming from House, not sitting quite close enough for their thighs to touch. The idea of being...intimate with his best friend didn't exactly drive him wild with passion but he couldn't deny that he wanted contact. And it helped that he was aware of House's feelings. They were the fuel to the fire of his own - the somewhat weaker ones he possessed long before he understood what House wanted from him.
It was a minute before he noticed that House was piercing the side of his head with his eyes. He turned to him again, raising his eyebrows, a little afraid. "Oh, were you waiting for a response to that? Uh...hm, let's see...my voice doesn't get high-pitched during sex. Is that sufficient?"
They stared at each other, the TV going about its business in the background. Wilson sort of hoped that House would make a move, while at the same time, he didn't. He truly wasn't ready for it. House tilted his head curiously. Wilson really didn't want - but maybe he did. His throat closed up involuntarily. He kept his face as neutral as possible. No, he was pretty sure he didn't -
"Relax," House said to him. "I'm not about to jump you."
Wilson blinked and let out a sigh of relief. Disappointment. A mixture of the two? Even so, he suddenly felt very light. Almost giddy. Grinning, he leaned over and caught House firmly by the lips. There was a pause, and then House lifted his hand from his likely aching right thigh to place it on the side of Wilson's head. Wilson scooted closer, stubble irritating his skin. Instead of pulling back, he laughed softly into House's mouth - for that, and for believing that they were about to have sex on top of this nerve-wracking day. He felt his friend's smile in return.
"It's for the best," he murmured, breaking them apart momentarily.
"As long as it's not because I'm ugly," House responded, nudging his lips again.
"You're very handsome," Wilson said nonchalantly, nudging back. "In a way that kind of sneaks up on you after a while..."
"I wasn't fishing for compliments."
Wilson reached up and gently traced House's cheekbone with his thumb, almost like he was checking it for bruises. "Doesn't mean I can't give you one."
"You really - I'm not in this for compliments."
"House," he said, meeting the older man's gaze. Silently, he told him that if he was going to be in a relationship with him, he might as well get used to it. House wasn't a confident person in this field, and Wilson was going to do what he could to remedy that. Slowly, House's small frown lessened until Wilson was quite sure he was actually giving him a look of appreciation. Wilson pressed their lips together again, his palm resting against his cheek. Cautiously, he allowed the tip of his tongue to slip out of his mouth and brush House's bottom lip. Moving his hand to the back of Wilson's neck, House opened his mouth, his own tongue darting out, tasting him. Wilson ignored the tiny jolt of shock this caused, and did the same for himself.
It felt incredible to be kissing someone like this. It felt downright amazing to be kissing someone he truly cared about. Someone who truly cared about him. His giddiness from moments ago increased, making him light-headed - deliriously cheerful. Who cared if being around Cuddy was going to be odd from now on? He was kissing House and the universe wasn't exploding!
In his excitement, he thrust his tongue into House's unsuspecting mouth, bringing up his other hand to grip his face properly. House eagerly reciprocated, and Wilson felt a hand ghost the front of his shirt, as if it longed to pull him closer.
Once again, he noticed the heat that House gave off. It was so familiar...suffocatingly familiar...their closeness...it still felt forbidden. All of this contributed to what he did next; he slid one hand from House's cheek, ran it down the length of his torso, and slipped it up underneath his T-shirt, feeling the warmth full-blast. House breathed out hard through his nose. He seemed to be trying to memorize the texture and formation of Wilson's face and hair with his fingertips. When Wilson, fueled by reckless daring, drew circles around his nipple, he gave a tiny grunt into his mouth, hands tightening wherever they happened to be, which turned out to be the back of his head.
Suddenly, Wilson pulled back, his head spinning. He stared intently at House, who still had his eyes closed, but soon opened them dazedly.
"What? I got your tongue?" he murmured.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, but chuckled. "Obviously. I think it's time for bed."
House looked at him suspiciously, his lips slightly swollen and moist.
"No, I mean literally. Bed. As in, it's time for sleep."
Wilson stood and stretched, trying to ignore the way every last one of his muscles seemed to quiver with the aftershock of spending time with his best friend in this new and, yes, rather enticing way. It would take some getting used to. But it could be done. Oh boy, could it be done. Shooting House a small smile in goodnight, he started for the hallway. About halfway to his bedroom, he heard uneven footsteps and felt fingers wrap around his wrist. He turned, surprised, to see blue eyes drilled into him silently, pleading. For what, he wasn't sure, but whatever it was, he wanted to give in. He leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on House's lips, thinking that maybe he wanted a proper goodnight send-off. House kissed back and tugged at his wrist.
"Would you like me to sleep in your room tonight?" he asked softly.
House narrowed his eyes and tugged more insistantly. As they made for the first bedroom, he hissed, "No funny business."
Once there, Wilson stripped to his undershirt and boxers while House took a trip to the bathroom. Yawning, he climbed under the covers, hoping to have them good and warm when House was finished. His stomach grumbled as the sound of running water echoed throughout the room and he realized that they hadn't eaten. He mentioned this when House was lying comfortably beside him.
"Wanna order out?" the older man asked. "It's not late."
"No, I'll just get up early and make a very large breakfast."
"Will there be pancakes?" House asked hopefully.
Wilson, at the moment, could not resist the charm that House hardly knew he possessed. Sometimes he acknowledged it, when it was needed, usually used to trick and blackmail and who knew what else, but there were times when he just didn't realize how appealing he could be.
"Anything your heart desires will be on the table," he told him, still just as giddy as ever.
"That could lead a man to think unwholesome thoughts, you know."
"Well, control that man."
House buried his face into his pillow, his hand managing to locate Wilson's underneath the sheets.
"What's with that anyway?" he asked, staring at the dark ceiling.
House resurfaced and Wilson sensed his confusion. "With what?"
"Just the other day you snarled at me like a Kimono dragon for daring to make harmless jokes about this. It's so unfair." House squeezed his hand very painfully and he added, "Ow!" to that last statement.
"I'm...distracting myself."
That made sense. So much was happening...it was difficult for them both to take it all in without some means of an outlet. He crushed House's hand right back in understanding. "I guess that's alright, then. Do we need to...talk about anything?"
In answer, House brought their hands out of the warmth and onto a bit of cool mattress space in front of his face, then tucked them both under his chin like a child would a beloved blanket or special toy. Wilson was dying to tease him for that, but the gesture was so rare, so...sweet...that he forced himself to resist, and scooted a little closer so that their faces were mere centimeters apart. If House wanted to talk later, that was okay. In the end, he really just couldn't resist.
"My thumb's free, if you wanna suck it," he offered innocently.
"Piss off," House muttered, sharp air stabbing the tip of his nose, sounding nevertheless grateful.

Using Expressions, AngularJS binds data to HTML at the location wherever expression is mentioned on web page. It can be written inside double braces {{expression}}. It can also be written in different way like ng-bind="expression". ng-bind maps innerHTML to the value of expression.
Let's take an example of a HTML paragraph with expression which are equivalent:
{{ 5+5 }}
As already mentioned, AngularJS resolves expression and return the result exactly where expression is written. They can contain literals, operators and variables.
Example # 1
Sum of 10 and 20 is 30
Mentioning ng-app is important otherwise expression will not be calculated and output will be printed as
Sum of 10 and 20 is {{ 10 + 20 }}
Example # 2
Dear Satyendra Mishra,
Mature amount of your deposit amount 100 on simple rate of interest 8% for 2 years will be 16.
AngularJS Objects
Example # 3
You can also create objects called as AngularJS Objects
Dear Satyendra Mishra,
Mature amount of your deposit amount 100 on simple rate of interest 8% for 2 years will be 16.
AngularJS Arrays
Example # 4
AngularJS Arrays are initializes using ng-init in the format provided in below example. There is also a magic on select control, if you change selected item last statement of this example changes.
Additional Notes
- AngularJS expressions do not support conditionals, loops, and exceptions, while JavaScript expressions do.
- AngularJS expressions support filters, while JavaScript expressions do not.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Civil Rights icons are receiving the recognition they deserve.
On Tuesday, The Memphis City Council presented the 1968 sanitation strikers with the Memphis City Council humanitarian award.
The strikers fought for safe working conditions and adequate pay for the job they were doing at the time.
Before the pictures and handshakes, Memphis City Council Chairman Berlin Boyd detailed the resilience through the struggle.
"The strikers showed courage and determination in their struggle for economic equality and social justice," Boyd said.
He detailed the impact of 1,300 sanitation workers and their extraordinary service.
"They wanted Memphis and the world to know that, 'I am a Man."
HB Crockett, who was also honored Tuesday, talked about the difficulties before the strike.
"We were trying to take some money home to our family. We wanted to feed our family and children."
He discussing the differences he saw after sanitation workers voices were finally listened to.
"It changed pretty good, I would say. Supervisors started treating you right. At first they wasn't."
Crockett remembers the pain and shock of Dr. Martin Luther King's death when he was killed in Memphis, and now he is pleased he and his former colleagues have been recognized.
An award was also presented to AFSCME in remembrance of the striking sanitation workers who are no longer living, but their contributions were a big part to the fight for equality.

Courses with Labs Provisioned On or Using Azure:
Support and Guidance for MCTs
With this article, we are attempting to address collective issues which our Learning Partners/MCTs and their students are having with courses and labs about or on the Azure platform. Due to the constantly changing nature of Azure, we cannot stay immediately abreast of changes which impact the function of MOC course content and labs. The best advice we can give, reiterated by many MCT Regional Leads recently, is this: If you are going to teach a course on Azure, make sure to allow at least several days, up to a week of preparatory time. And then expect the Azure interface/platform to change during the week you are delivering the course.
We are providing some guidelines below, but we would also like to appeal to our Partners and Trainers to do their part when it comes to help keeping the content current and viable. The demands of teaching an Azure related course are much higher than a standard course where the technology remains fairly static. Being able to consistently deliver such a course and staying ahead of platform updates can be a definite differentiator for both Learning Partners and MCTs. While we can institute various measures to try to keep up with the changing Azure platform, we probably will never be able to proactively address all of the possible changes that can happen. The reality is things will break, the Trainer should expect this, and should be able to respond to those challenges.
There are a limited number of passes available to be distributed to Learning Partners and MCTs. Availability can only be guaranteed while supplies last and only in countries where Microsoft Azure is supported.
Eligibility: Courses eligible for the student Azure pass are listed below, the localized equivalent versions are also eligible:
- 20697-2 Deploying and Managing Windows 10 Using Enterprise Services
- 55093 Windows Azure Data Services
- 55065 Microsoft Azure for IT Professionals
- 10958 Programming Fundamentals of Web Applications
- 10971 Storage and High Availability with Windows Server
- 10974 Deploying and Migrating Windows Server
- 10977 Updating Your SQL Server Skills to Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014
- 10978 Introduction to Azure for Developers
- 10979 Microsoft Azure Essentials
- 20347 Enabling & Managing Office 365
- 20465 Designing a Data Solution for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014
- 20467 Designing Self-Service Business Intelligence and Big Data Solutions
- 20482 Advanced Windows® Store App Development Using HTML5 and JavaScript
- 20485 Advanced Windows® Store App Development Using C#
- 20486 Developing ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Applications
- 20487 Developing Windows Azure and Web Services
- 20532 Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions
- 20533 Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions
Note: This list is subject to change and titles may be added to or removed from this list as new versions or courses are released and older versions and courses are retired.
Teaching Azure Courses in the (Virtual) Classroom:
Steps Reviewed by MCT Allan Jacobs
Below are steps to take and resources to reference when preparing for and delivering a course with labs that use the Azure platform. These steps have been reviewed by MCT Regional Lead Allan Jacobs, who regularly teaches Azure-based courses using MOC:
- First review the MOC course Error Log for any updated information pertaining to your course. When a MOC course is released, labs are thoroughly tested and run as expected. However, updates to the Azure UI or platform (and/or Office 365 changes to the UI or functionality of the products for MOC labs using Office 365) may create lab steps that are no longer accurate, or labs that do not function as expected. As LeX is made aware of the impact of Azure and Office 365 changes to the content, they will update the Error Log first, available on the Microsoft Learning Download Center.
- Check the Lab Set-up Guide for the course to determine if the Lab steps for the course have been added to GitHub. GitHub is an open source platform where lab steps can be dynamically updated, usually through a moderator. MCTs are encouraged to update and comment on Lab steps posted to GitHub to share information with others and advise on changes in UI and function in an effort to keep the labs as up to date as possible. Currently, lab steps for the following courses are represented on GitHub: 20532C and 20533C (20347A is now hosted by Authorised Lab Providers and they update and provide lab instructins specific to their environment). We will have lab steps for more courses using Azure, Office 365, or other cloud-based products posted on GitHub in the future.
- MCTs can check to see if a Forum posting exists on MCT Central for a particular course by doing a search for that course within the Forums area. There may be helpful information posted by other MCTs who have already taught the course.
Support Model & Escalation Paths for Courseware Marketplace, Azure Passes, and MOC
For Courseware Marketplace issues:
Regional Support Centers (RSCs) that support Courseware will continue to be your first point of contact for all queries related to the availability/purchase/fulfillment of these resources through Courseware Marketplace. The following existing Support Model for Courseware Marketplace assistance should be used:
Courseware Marketplace 'contact us' details can be found here: https://shop.courseware-marketplace.com/shop/en-GB/Content/contact
Possible access and purchase support issues using Courseware Marketplace:
- Customer has issues accessing their account to purchase or redeem passes.
- Customer has issues during purchase/checkout process for passes.
- Customer has purchased MOC and should have the option to purchase passes but cannot access them on CWM for purchase.
- Customer has purchased passes but cannot access them for use through the account dashboard.
- Customer has purchased MOC but is having issues with after-the-fact pass reconciliation.
- Passes not correctly associated with a given MOC (Arvato first contact, with escalation to Microsoft when necessary)
Azure Student Pass Support:
Azure divides support into 2 areas – Commerce Support and Technical Support. As the passes that are distributed through Courseware Marketplace are free to Learning Partners purchasing MOC, there should be no need for Azure Commerce Support.
Azure Support Options: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/
Also on this page is a link to the Service Dashboard which shows the current status of all Azure services.
Commerce Support for Azure
Commerce/Billing support covers any problem not related to the delivery of a running service already deployed on Azure. This includes account/subscription management, usage/billing, purchase issues, technical integration questions, invoicing enablement, etc. Commerce/Billing support is provided for free to all users including Trial users and is unlimited.
Technical Support for Azure
Technical support is related to deployment specific problems involving production or test environments hosted on Windows Azure. The work being done by students on these Trial accounts is directed so it's unlikely they should need technical support to do the tasks as directed in our course materials.
Free public forum technical support is available on the Azure forums:
Microsoft Azure. Post questions in the Azure forum.
Stackoverflow. Questions should be tagged with the Azure keyword.
Paid support is also available. Users can get a number of support incidents through either an MSDN or MPN subscription which they can use for Azure support. Support may also be purchased and more information is available here: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/
MOC Course content support:
MCTs can provide feedback or updates for MOC course content such as technical inaccuracies and bugs in course materials, or report lab step or UI changes. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Specific Azure Pass issues
We are receiving some complaints from Learning Partners that the Azure Passes they received with their MOC course purchases "just don't work". Some of the most common Azure Pass issues we are seeing from Partner escalations have to do with how Partners and students are using these Azure Passes. Below are the top 3 (preventable) ways in which Azure Passes have been rendered as expired, blocked, or unusable:
- If the student assigns a pass to a Microsoft ID that has been used with a Pass before, it will render the pass unusable. Passes can only be used once per MSID and if the student has already assigned it to one account, they won't be able to reuse that code on a different account that has not previously been associated with an Azure pass ID.
- Azure Passes cannot be redeemed on accounts that are linked to an Enterprise Agreement (EA) subscription.
- Azure passes cannot be used on accounts where any subscription to any 3rd party service has been setup – the credits cannot be used for 3rd party payments.
Any of the above actions will cause an Azure Pass to show as expired and there is nothing the Learning Experiences team can do to resolve such a situation. Due to the limited availability of Azure Passes and the current requirement to distribute them only in conjunction with a purchase of a MOC course which is supported by an Azure Pass, the alternative to the above scenarios is for a partner to inform a student that he/she needs to sign up for the publicly available pass (needs a Credit Card number to validate) or pay for the access.
There's a document on Campaign Factory about how to redeem/activate Azure Passes:
This includes common error messages, like what to do if you get an error while activating the pass.
Other resources regarding the use of Azure Passes or courses using Azure:
- Reference the MCT Instructional Video: Best Practices for Teaching Microsoft Azure
- Reference the MOC Azure Pass site for supported courses and details about the Azure Pass itself
MOC Course Call-outs:
Developing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions – This course is now updated quarterly. This is going to become common place for cloud courses.
Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions – This course is now updated quarterly. This is going to become common place for cloud courses.
Managing Office 365 Identities and Services – As mentioned above the labs for this course are now through an authorized hoster solution through Learn on Demand / Microsoft Labs Online / Virsoft. I have used all 3 and its a great move forward and increases satisfaction of this course.
