Conventional Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) is a term most commonly used to refer to single-sided (S/S) and, less commonly these days, double-sided (D/S) non plated through hole (non PTH). The former can still be found as new designs in their original layout of solder side, comprising tracks and pads, and component side, carrying the details of the component location. The former may or may not be complemeted with a solder mask to cover the tracks and expose the pads. The latter is usually screen printed and may be referred to as the component location, ident, silk screen, or legend. This means, of course, that a S/S board may actually require three layers to be designed and plotted as a prerequisite to manufacture, namely: component location, tracking, and soldermask. At this stage it would seem relevant to complete the picture for the uninitiated by mentioning that assemblers position the components on the component side with the legs through the component holes to be soldered to the pads on the solder side.
These days S/S circuits can be much more sophisiticated due to the arrival of surface mount. This means that some or all of the components will actually sit on the solder side. Another innovation is aluminum or copper backed dielectric with the tracking for the circuitry etched out of a copper layer on top of the dielectric. This has especial relevance for LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) when they are sufficiently numerous on a circuit to make the conducting away of heat by the aluminium or copper backing to be advantageous.

Graduation Mortar Boards & Bonnets
What is a mortar board?
Mortar boards, also called trenchers, graduation hats, or graduation caps, have a sculpted crown which goes over the head, topped by a square shaped board and tassel attached to the top of the cap.
What is a bonnet?
Graduation bonnets, also called Tudor bonnets or PhD hats, are generally made using velvet and lined with satin. They feature a broad rim surrounding the soft body of the crown. A coloured cord with two tassel ends is attached to the rim of the crown.

Everything Else You Need To Know About Graduation Caps
With mortar boards and trenchers, the tassel will fall over the cap, and depending on the university, the tassel should be placed on either side of the front face of the board. The brim of the crown should be bordered by a grosgrain or ribbed trim. Our graduation caps are made using wool.
More about PhD Bonnets
Note that few universities prescribe mortar boards rather than bonnets for PhD graduates. The colour of the bonnet cord and tassels will differ according to university academic dress specifications. In some cases such as Chancellor bonnets, the tassels may be made using gold or silver bullion. While most PhD bonnets are black, some Australian universities prescribe navy or other colours for bonnets.
Who should wear a mortar board?
The graduation cap is typically worn by bachelor and masters graduates, however, some university academic dress rules may only prescribe graduation caps for masters graduates. In fact, some universities will prescribe a mortar board for PhD graduates also (as opposed to a bonnet).
What is the difference between a hard crown mortar board and a soft crown collapsing mortar board?
A hard-crown graduation cap is made so that the crown is rigid. The wool of the crown is processed so it keeps its shape when not worn. These are made in specific sizes, ranging from 51 to 62 cm diameter. So sizing of hard-cap mortars is more specific to the individual. Our hard-crown mortar boards are black and made using quality wool.
A soft-crown graduation cap means the wool of the crown is less processed so it may collapse flat for easy storage and portability. Our soft-cap mortar boards feature an inner crown elasticized rim so the hat will have some grip, although the crown still features the same grosgrain or ribbed trim on the outside of the cap. When the crown is open, our soft-crown graduation caps look just like a hard crown graduation cap.

As more states legalize the federally banned herb, new products are flooding the cannabis market — and topicals seem to be the hot ticket item of the hour.
National drug policy expert Amanda Reiman said she has observed topical cannabis products bringing to the medical marijuana market new people who are "looking for a nonintoxicating form of cannabis relief."

In case you were wondering, I am fully aware that I missed a week. Bad me! After my epic failure of a 20 minute run, I felt hesitant to get back out there. But after a busy week and realising the race was next week (eeeeek) I bucked up the courage to run again.
Run #16: week 5.1 of C25K – originally I had planned to jump back in at week 5.2, but I had a feeling I was being over ambitious. I was right, as the result of this run shows! To recap, this run is 5 mins running, 3 mins walking x 3. The first run I did 4 mins, then had to walk. The second run I got half way through and stopped for 1.5m, then started again, then stopped again. The final run I did the whole thing, and a tiny but extra at the end. With the final section I felt that I had got my stride back, and my breathing was under control. This was by far, not my best run. But, it also was not my worst. Not bad for over a week of not running!
Run #17: week 5.2 of C25K – thus run is 8 min run, 5 min walk x 2. Last time I did this I wasn't really able to do much. This time I somehow managed to run for 8 minutes for the first time ever. how did that even happen?? By the end of the run I was rocking a powerful stitch and was still struggling to get rid of it by the time the next run came around. The second 8 minutes did not go well at all. I pretty much walked the whole of it…but to be honest, that's okay because I really pushed to do the first one. Next time I'll do better.
My Race for Life is next week, on the 11th. So next to no training time left, just 1 run to go until it's the real thing. I know full well that I won't be able to run the whole 5k. But I'm going to give it a shot and do my best. Because my best is all that I have to give.

Business Gas and Electricity
Savings Made Easy
Energy Suppliers Face Pressure As Energy Costs Fall
By Cynthia Taylor
There is pressure for energy companies to cut their prices following some significant falls in the cost of wholesale gas and electricity.
With the unusually warm weather as well as a slow demand from industrial customers while the economy falters has created a �glut� of cheap power.
The fall of wholesale priced began at the end of August � this is the same time that the Big Six began their price hikes.
British households have been hit with a 21% increase in their energy bills in 2011 this represents an average increase of �224 annually.
This combination of lower wholesale prices together with the increase in energy tariffs ensures that the profit margins of the six energy giants will probably soar. The Big Six consist of Scottish and Southern energy (SSE) RWE Npower, E.ON, Scottish Power and British Gas.
ICIS Heren, Independent industry analysis produced the details of the fall in wholesale prices.
The analysis confirmed that UK�s energy markets are in free-fall and the euro-zone is on the brink of a recession
The prices of UK wholesale energy have plummeted to a 12 month low this week, which finally cancels out the earlier increases this year, which caused the energy companies to hike their prices.
Jamie Stewart, market analysis of ICIS Heron, said that the UK prices are at the mercy of events globally, some economic and some natural
The predicted cold weather has failed to materialise, and with the UK and euro-zone on the brink of a recession, the demand on energy is set for a fall.
This has pulled down future market prices thus those that went up have now come down.
The study has warned that together with Green Taxes which are added to household energy bills, Britain�s poor will be hurt financially and physically.
In a report by the Renewable Energy Foundations, has reported that the added levies also had hundreds of pounds to energy bills annually in order to pay for the UK�s move away from fossil fuels, this could trigger health issues among low income families because they will face additional hardships.

X Factor 2011 contestant Craig Colton has said he's 'gay and proud' following jibes by axed boy group Nu Vibe, who described both Craig and Marcus Collins as "bum boys." The pair, who are openly gay, dismissed the supposed insult however.
Craig told the Daily Star "I have never hidden my sexuality and I am proud of who I am. Nu Vibe are all my best mates."
However some viewers haven't taking too kindly to Nu Vibe's comments, or their supposed "outing" of Craig.
One wrote: "If he was going to come out, announcing it should be his own choice."
Another added: "I find them using the term "bum boys" at best immature but actually ignorant and about two decades out of date."
Writing on an internet forum, a third complained about the rejected group: "The language they used makes them sound real a**eholes. Glad they have gone. "

So my four-month-old computer went and ate up its hard drive about a week ago. This sucks, but it was covered by the warranty at least, and it had two unexpected benefits:
- The stupid OSD that I wrote about months ago has disappeared.
- Since the reinstall, Fallout 3 hasn't crashed at all. Knock on ravaged, post-nuclear wood.
I did lose all my Fallout saves and thus my level 20 character, so I started a new game. It's amazing how much easier it is the second time… I had a few hundred caps and quite a few stimpacks before even leaving Springvale.
I've repeated some quests, but tried to do some things differently– e.g. going to Galaxy News Radio before Rivet City this time. The battle with the Super Mutant Behemoth goes a lot easier with backup.
I may also try to explore the map more at lower levels, just so I can get around later without having to put down pairs of giant radscorpions every furlong.

"Say some words and I'll tell you what letter they start with," my four-year-old urged.
When she got the first few correct, I couldn't help but tell her how clever she is.
"I know," she sighed. "I'm basically a genius."
The confidence that four-year-olds have is startling and hilarious, but also blatantly honest. No four-year-old lies about their skills and talents; if they're good at something, they'll tell the world.
It's something that us adults would never dare to do – unfortunately most of us are too busy talking ourselves down.
If only we could say the things young kids come out with.
"I'm the life of the classroom"
In his first year of school, a boy in my eldest child's class was going on holidays during the term.
He was quite concerned about going – not because he was worried about missing the work or not seeing his friends. No, he was concerned about how everyone else would feel because, in his words, "I'm the life of the classroom".
This is something to consider next time you're planning to take annual leave from your job: how will your colleagues cope without your good company?
"I know"
One friend of mine laughs that her five-year-old has no capacity to be modest. If someone compliments him, he'll simply say, "I know".
With many kids, there's no shyness about the fact that they do something well or have a great new haircut; they accept compliments about these things far better than we do when we've grown up.
"My favourite person is myself"
Mum of two, Belinda, says she teaches her kids to list themselves on their internal list of people they love.
Her kids have no hesitation in going along with this idea. When asked by a friend who she loves best, the six-year-old replied, "Myself".
It's certainly not a bad approach to life.
"I'm proud of you"
One of the most beautiful benefits of a child who is confident in receiving their own compliments and talking up their skills, is that they're confident enough to give compliments too.
As well as professing herself a genius, my daughter also tells others – her friends, her dad and I, and her sister – that she's proud of us and loves our company.
And that's perhaps the biggest lesson us adults could learn, too: to have the guts to let others know how special they are.

Yesterday, Wired.com published an article titled "Meet The Brilliant Young Hackers Who'll Soon Shape The World" about a group of seven college-age men who seem quite bright and quite interested in computers. But unlike what the headline of the profile suggested, the young hackers — five of them white and, again, all of them men — do not seem to be shaping the world in any way at all.
The publication was hammered online for what seemed like yet another stock profile of the next potential Sergey Brins or Elon Musks. Magazines love these kinds of stories, which reflect a monolithic, and dated, view of the tech world. "Same piece on computer men pub'd every 6 months for 32 yrs, be the lack of change you wanna see in the world," wrote Meredith Whittaker, founder of Google Open Research, on Twitter.
In an unusual move, Wired's new editor in chief, Nicholas Thompson, who joined in January, took to Facebook late last night to respond to a deluge of criticism from readers.
"The piece ran in the print magazine as 'Meet The Nu-Nerds.' But the online headline, 'Meet The Brilliant Young Hackers Who'll Soon Shape The World,' alongside the pictures of all the guys, one after another, suggests that only men code," he wrote. "This isn't at all what we wish to imply." Wired therefore changed the headline to, "The Genial, Brilliant, Candy-Loving Hackers of Stetson West."
According to Thompson, the piece was commissioned six months ago, which means its genesis occurred during the tenure of Thompson's predecessor, Scott Dadich. During his four-and-a-half years at the magazine, Dadich pushed Wired away from tech and into boring aspirational design porn, rosy, breathless access journalism, and conventional subjects. But the disconnect between the packaging and substance of "Nu-Nerds" suggests, simply, a story that fell apart: its writer, Tony Tulathimutte, who is also the author of a satirical novel about four young Stanford graduates weaving in and out of Silicon Valley, was dazzled by some precocious college kids who can use computers, sketched out some Big Bang Theory-esque scenes, spun up half an angle, and invented a neologism — "nu-nerds" — to cover it all up. The result is a middling narrative that has only one message: Computer boys are fascinating creatures, with many habits worth noting — they have brilliant minds, for example, but dirty floors — and should be studied carefully even if they have yet to accomplish anything.
This explains some of the awkwardness of the story, which can't decide what it's about. Is it about "the next generation" of technologists "grappling with the Big Issues keeping the rest of us awake at night," or is it just about seven charming college friends in the Boston area? Is it about the apathy of talented young male coders who already have it all? Is it about how tech-savvy millennials don't use Facebook because they came of age in a post-Snowden world? Is it about nerds who defy stereotypes or nerds who are pretty much as stereotypical as possible?
The idea that young white American men will continue to "shape the future" through programming is both inaccurate and depressing
Tulathimutte writes: "Lest you picture some Revenge of the Nerds tableau, they wear the archetype lightly—no snort-laughs or Comic-Con merch; only one pair of glasses, tapeless." In fact, the profile relies on lame clichés — the subject who learned to program on a graphing calculator in high school is a trope, as are the author's asides about feeling old — and paints the nu-nerds as walking stereotypes. They cite Reddit and Hacker News as their favorite social networks, Elon Musk and Steve Jobs as their heroes, and they love "taking things apart and putting them back together."
The article failed on many levels. It is solipsistic: The idea that young white American men will continue to "shape the future" through programming is both inaccurate and depressing. It lionizes its subjects with no evidence that they are truly bound for greatness. It portrays "technology" as synonymous with computer code, to the exclusion of medicine, energy, robotics, and the zillions of other types of technology that actually are shaping the future. It falls hard for the Zuckerberg fallacy, which assumes founders who fit the mold of young, driven, computer nerd are destined for great things. It drones on about privacy, late capitalism, political apathy, and computer ethics in its multiple attempts at a plausible thesis.
Profiles of young male hacker savants are disheartening because they are so common. Here's a good one from The New York Times about a 21-year-old entrepreneur named Seth Priebatsch.
"I'm not anti-money," he says. "I like nice bikes, I like nice computers. I like that money is a representation of success, but the actual entity itself is not interesting for me. There is little that I would want that I don't have, and the things that I want money can't buy."
He doesn't pause.
"I want to build the game layer on top of the world."
Have you heard of Seth Priebatsch? No? Despite his Times profile, Priebatsch has not done anything remarkable to shape the world of tech in the seven years since the piece was published. According to LinkedIn, he is currently the "Chief Ninja" at LevelUp, a mobile payments platform. And yet his sort — young, hypomanic, five-sevenths-likely-to-be-white computer men — keep having profiles written about them.
Here's Tulathimutte on his young hypomanic white computer man, David Dworken:
After class, David and I head to a café, where he continues to stonewall me on everything: politics, religion, class, dating life. At a time when young people are accused of oversharing, I find his aversion to disclosure interesting. "I, by default, am going to keep things private and let it become public when there's a sufficiently convincing reason for it to be public," he says. Like when? "When it's beneficial in terms of career prospects." (One thing, more than any other, that he wants the world to know: "Bug-bounty programs are good.") Someone like David, who deeply understands and values privacy, shares only what he wants. He's out here fixing bugs to secure our privacy; all he asks for is some privacy of his own.
Sound familiar?
In his Facebook note, Thompson grabs Tulathimutte and yanks him out of the way of an oncoming bus, then throws himself and Wired under it. But in an attempt to apologize, Thompson makes the situation worse. He cites "a scene in the story of a meeting with the woman who runs the college's official hacking group" and the kicker, which is hilarious in itself because it gives away the fact that the piece had no purpose at all. "The Sthackers aren't ambassadors of their generation; they're just seven freshmen on one floor of one dorm of one college in one state in one country on our one and only planet." These things are supposed to be redeeming qualities of a story that Thompson believes was simply packaged wrong. Then he twists the knife, letting us know that Wired has a special diversity-conscious list — "20 Tech Visionaries Who Are Creating the Future" — in the same issue.
Here's my take: The story was not only packaged wrong, it was bad. A better headline would be "Read about some fuckboys eating candy" and the entire story URL should be redirected to the Twitter feed of Safia Abdalla, an open source developer in Chicago who wrote,"It doesn't matter how many keynotes I give or how much code I produce or how many articles I write. I will never be enough for the mold."

Pundits are arguing about whether the election results issue the government a mandate; I revel in the joy of feeling that the mandate was issued to every person living in this country. I think the mandate is to live and dream from our hearts, mindful of the impact of our actions down to the seventh generation on this earth, as native wise ones teach.
I'm in awe and gratitude to the voters of this country who clarified for elected officials what we truly care about, besides the economy. I think we've only just begun to dream our best dreams into this reality and it's heartening to know there are so many people passionate about making a difference.
I collect "dream" songs. This is one of my all time favorites and it's augmented by the fact that it's talented author, Stevie Ray Vaughan, is on the other side, hopefully dreaming this dream even bigger.

Cocktail Party Catering Kooyong Vic
8 Expert Tips For Selecting the Right Cocktail Party Catering Service In Kooyong
When it concerns the important things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision of which catering service to employ, and if you think this decision truly isn't that crucial, take a look at it this way, fantastic catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will often send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for a lot of occasions, the caterer you select is also a substantial budgetary decision and can affect how much money you have actually left over to spend on other areas depending upon food costs and amounts.
Include that caterers can vary dramatically in their pricing and the kinds of meals and services they use, and the procedure of picking a catering service can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, primarily due to the fact that how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial discussions is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their contract with you (and more on agreements later).
A potential catering service ought to be learning as much as they can about you in your very first few conversations with them, so you need to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you offering answers and detailing your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Particular Type of Event In Kooyong 3144
Not every caterer is best or every kind of occasion, and numerous catering services themselves openly admit this.
So when interviewing your Kooyong catering services (and you ought to speak to at least 3 catering services for any occasion with a reasonable spending plan), you have to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up picking a catering service who just isn't an excellent suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Practically every caterer has a standard menu or menus to choose from, and many do supply some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your particular requirements by replacing particular items and/or personalizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will exceed standardized menu options and be willing to produce remarkable fare that matches a lot more specific style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Willingness To Supply Tastings
How will you ever know what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you know what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they desire for their occasion due to the fact that it appears like an inconvenience for the caterer, but it is standard to request a tasting of exactly what you are meaning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a fee, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you select the best catering service). When you are tasting the food, also attend to how it exists, as any catering service who takes the time to appropriately show a sample will most likely be most likely to make that type of effort on your event day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to handle catering details, spending plans and assignments?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track proposals, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You may be in for a surprise if you employ a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraising event. Or if you select a high-end business occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding. Why? Since these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending upon limitations of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more traditional places can also have restrictions that caterers need to follow, like specific setup requirements or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a venue's guidelines can possibly save you great deals of hassle on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement must clearly define precisely what food, beverages and services the catering service will be offering on the designated day( s). Additionally, it needs to safeguard you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may want to consider having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail ought to be consisted of in the agreement, included selected menus, number of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if appropriate) and all prices and extra services.
No caterer in Kooyong with a shred of dignity and scruples enters into a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, however you need to make sure there is a cancellation stipulation in your agreement just in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so simply ensure cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Recommendations You Can Call and Speak To
Obviously you will need to look into the caterers in Kooyong you are considering, and it's always excellent to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly reliable (and even authentic); for example, a great catering service may have had a few nightmare/hater clients who skew their rankings, while a truly average caterer might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous clients of the caterers you are considering and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly don't wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Knowledgeable Chef and Cooking Area Personnel
Surprisingly, the length of time a catering business in Kooyong has stayed in business may not be as important in picking an excellent catering service as you may think.
So make sure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV since he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

A new national licensing scheme is being introduced to improve housing for tenants living in privately rented properties.
Currently larger shared rented properties with three storeys or more need a licence from Bristol City Council. From 1 October 2018, the law on licensing these properties in England is changing.
All landlords or agents who rent shared accommodation must apply for a licence if they meet the following criteria:
- their house or flat is lived in by five or more people
- from two or more families
- who share rooms like kitchens, bathrooms or living rooms
- it will not matter how many storeys or floors there are in the property.
A shared house or flat with five or more unrelated tenants, or a house containing five or more bedsits are examples of the types of properties affected by the change.
These properties will need to meet current licensing conditions and comply with standards, including minimum room sizes and new rules on refuse and recycling.
Councillor Paul Smith, Cabinet Member for Homes and Communities, said:
"This change to government legislation should help improve standards of privately rented accommodation across the city. We know from experience that licensing is a good way to deal with issues of poor standards of accommodation and inefficient property management.
"While most landlords are providing quality rented accommodation, a large number are in poor condition and no one in Bristol should be living like that. We want to ensure every tenant in the city is provided with safe and quality housing."
Landlords or agents who currently rent this type of accommodation are now able to apply for a licence in Bristol. If they fail to apply by midnight on 30 September 2018 they may be liable for an unlimited fine or a financial penalty of up to £30,000, as well as having to pay higher licence fees.
Landlords who operate an unlicensed property also face other consequences, for example:
- Not being able to gain possession
- Risk being ordered to repay tenants up to 12 months' rent
- In the very worst circumstances where the property has not been licensed, the council can take over management.
Landlords can apply for a licence on the Bristol City Council website, where there is more information on the law change.
These new requirements have been set by national laws and are different to the council's recent proposal to declare a licensing area in the 12 central wards of Bristol. The consultation on this proposal has closed and results are currently being evaluated. Following that the Cabinet will be asked to consider the results of the consultation and whether or not the proposed central licensing area should be declared.
The main difference between the council's proposal and the national change in law is that the council are proposing that the number of people sharing only has to be three and not five people as there are many more tenants that would be protected from poor housing and management.

Recently I was doing some hackery for a project and really struggled getting docker off the ground and serving up a website from within a container. This particular project was on linux but actually docker can also run on Windows, using the "built in" functionality of Hyper V. Not one to be defeated I set out to get the project working on Docker for Windows!
Step 1 – Download Docker for Windows
You can grab a copy of the download from the Docker Store here. Be aware though that is only runs on Win 10 professional or enterprise, use docker tools for other operating systems.
Step 2 – Install it
The installation was very simple. There are two configuration options in the installer, two!
Switching between Windows and Linux containers is so trivial I would not have even included it as an option here.
The installer will run for a few minutes and then vanish so you need to find and run Docker for Windows. I found it in Windows 10 start menu as I didn't go for the desktop shortcut. Docker should then start to spin up and give you a notification.
Unfortunately it doesn't get very far and informs you that it needs the container and hyper-v features.
Click Ok and after a few minutes your PC will restart, no warning given!
Step 4 – Login
To "pull" images from the dockerHub you need to login. Create a free account and then login to your account from the tray icon. I found that I could login with either my email address of username but if I used my email address I then could not pull images from the dockerHub. If you find that you get errors pulling images from the DockerHub on Windows 10 Docker, make sure you have logged in with your username and not your email address.
Once logged in, you can also familiarise yourself with the toolbar menu, including the option for switching between Linux and Windows containers. You cannot run both at the same time! Switching is painless but does take a few minutes.
Step 5 – Pulling our first image
Docker images all start in the DockerHub. There are thousands of repositories, but for our first we will use the official microsoft images so make sure you are running in Windows container mode and not Linux.
You can pull the nanoserver image by opening command prompt and running
docker pull microsoft\nanoserver
This will download and extract the image.
Step 6 – Interacting
The nanoserver image is now downloaded and ready to run. We can check this with the command
docker images
The image is shown and has a unique hash reference (Image ID) that you can use to interact with the image. We can then use this ID to run a container with
docker run -it <image id> powershell
Running that command should drop you into an interactive powershell prompt inside the container. You can verify this by looking at your username and computername environment variables. We are in our first container!
Step 6 – Squash another bug!
If you are having a route around in this container you may notice that you cannot ping out to the internet and cannot ping the container from your PC. This is a bug because the installer does not add the neccessary routes to your PCs routing table! To fix this, use the command
route /P add 220.127.116.11 MASK 255.0.0.0 10.0.75.2
Credit to https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/221
You should now be able to ping in and out of your container.
… In the next part we will use a dockerfile to do our first IaC (Infrastructure as Code).

One of our goals is to introduce you to (or reacquaint you with) poets whose work is enjoyed by kids or teens. We start with the winners of the National Council of Teachers of English Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children before moving on to other poets, past and present.
(American, b. 1935)
"I want a poem to sprout roses and spit bullets; this is the ideal combination, and it is a tough tightrope that takes the kind of control that comes only with years of work." – Arnold Adoff, from L.B. Hopkins's Pass the Poetry, Please!
It is a great honor to share with you a wide-ranging new interview with Arnold Adoff—a renowned poet, and an anthologist of African American literature who has published more than forty books for young people, including the seminal Black Is Brown Is Tan, which was the first children's book to portray an interracial family. He is the recipient of the National Council of Teachers of English Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children in 1988 for the body of his work, and he lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio. He was married to the late Virginia Hamilton, the celebrated American novelist. They have two grown children: Leigh Hamilton (Adoff), an operatic soprano, and Jaime Adoff, a poet and novelist. His latest publication is Roots and Blues: A Celebration (Clarion/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011). To learn more, please visit www.arnoldadoff.com.

Today's gorgeous shoot hits home for me in 2 different aspects; the fact that it hails from my city (Toronto) and represents my country by marriage (Ghana)! No doubt, I totally couldn't wait to share this modern Ghanaian wedding inspiration with our KV readers!
Titled "Odo Pa" which means "Great Love" in Twi (a Ghanaian, West African Dialect), this shoot embodies the tradition of Ghana in a very modern setting. Planned by Grace of A Touch of Grace Events and photographed by Envoy Photography, swoon with us over this culture rich wedding inspiration shoot!
Odo Pa | Modern Ghanaian Wedding Inspiration
"I wanted the shoot to display the rich culture of Ghana, West Africa. But I also wanted to show how Ghanaian cultured can be entwined into Western culture for a fabulous fusion of cultures and practices. The 1st model is adorned in a beautiful, bright handwoven fabric called "kente". The decor of the tablescape complements and heightens the richness of the fabric and depicts the proud Ghanaian traditional bride. The second model on the other hand is wearing a beautiful lace gown with statement headpieces and bold contemporary makeup to go with it.
Ghanaian traditional marriages are very "traditional" in nature. But I want millennial brides to see how they can fuse tradition with modern elements and still stay true to the fundamental elements." – A Touch of Grace Events

Imagine being able to live a happy life without the pain of bad habits like lip biting, hair pulling, smoking or nail biting holding you back. You could wake up in the morning without worrying about scratch marks from constant itching or regret from impulse purchases.
If you find yourself struggling to break free from bad habits, you may wonder certain things.
If I bite my nails or pick my nose unconsciously, how can I control it?
How can I stop myself from constantly dealing with bad habits?
Medications and psychotherapy have never worked. Is there something that can?
Most likely, you are already aware of how these bad habits hurt your life. Hypnosis for habit control can make you more aware of the damage that you are doing to your financial, physical and mental health. No matter how hard you try, you are cannot stop biting your nails. You want to quit impulse buying and smoking, but you cannot. Hypnosis to break bad habits can help.
Imagine . . .
Getting up in the morning with your hair and nails intact.
Freeing yourself from medication and therapy.
Living life without hair pulling or lip biting.
There are millions of people who have bad habits. For nail biting, about 20 percent of people will have this habit someday. These people need help breaking bad habits. Hypnosis for habit control can help. When you have a bad habit, it affects your physical health. Nail biting can spread germs. Meanwhile, hair pulling can cause sores and scabs. Impulse purchases affect your financial health. All bad habits stem from one cause: your mind.
Hypnosis for habit control is not a miracle cure. When you do hypnosis to break bad habits, it changes the subconscious mind. Instead of using bad habits to lower stress, you have new outlets. Hypnosis is the key to habit control.
Unfortunately, many companies prey on bad habits. It seems like there is always a "miracle" cure for sale. These miracle cures fail because they do not target the problem. Your mind is incredibly powerful. The subconscious mind makes you breathe and your heart beat. At times, the mind can go haywire. It starts to think that bad habits are a way to lower stress. To change your habits, you have to change your mind.
During hypnosis, you will focus on the cause of your habit. If it is due to stress, hypnosis helps give you new ways to handle stress. You may be encouraged to take a walk or have a bath. Better ways of handling stress take the place of your bad habit.
Your subconscious mind relearns that the habit is bad. Instead of doing it unconsciously, you realize what you are doing. If you pulled your hair, your mind stops you. Likewise, your mind will prevent you from biting your nails. Any habit that can be learned can be unlearned.
Hypnosis can help you start a new lifestyle. You can develop an aversion to an old habit. Your mind will also be retrained to stop the habit completely.

Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and fulfilling times of a woman's life. But, once they've welcomed their babies, many women find that their pre-pregnancy bodies are almost impossible to achieve. Even with proper diet and exercise, most women experience damage to the abdominal wall muscles and stretching of the skin around the stomach. This can result in sagging skin that doesn't reflect the body's frame.
Ideal for women with stubborn post-pregnancy pot belly, a tummy tuck with Dr. Chris Allen – also known as an abdominoplasty – helps you ditch the excess fat fast and return to your pre-pregnancy body with confidence.
Liposuction vs. Tummy Tucks
Liposuction removes only fatty deposits, while tummy tucks involve the removal of both excess skin and fat and tightens the stretched muscles. Tummy tucks are generally suggested as a post-pregnancy procedure to remove both excess fat and loose skin for the abdomen. For post-pregnancy women, tummy tucks are usually more effective in achieving a balanced body contour according to your frame.
What You Need to Know Before Surgery
When considering surgery, you need to set realistic expectations about what you want to achieve. Tummy tucks aid in removing excess skin and fat and tightens the muscles of the abdomen and cannot substitute diet and exercise when it comes to total body weight loss.
Before you decide on a tummy tuck, an initial consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon is required. Your surgeon will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam to determine if surgery is right for you. Before going ahead, you're required to understand and accept that there are risks involved and that results vary from person to person.
Is the Procedure Safe?
Tummy tucks are relatively common and routine procedures performed by experienced and specialised plastic surgeons. While all surgical procedures carry risk, as outlined by your plastic surgeon in your initial consultation, complications are uncommon. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia with the aid of a specialist anaesthetist.
Is it Painful?
As tummy tucks are completed under general anaesthesia, you won't feel a thing during your surgery. Once awake and in recovery, you may experience some discomfort and swelling. A normal part of recovery, pain and discomfort can be easily managed with pain medication and by following the postoperative instructions given to you by your surgeon.
Are There Any Downsides?
As with all surgeries, there are risks involved. Dr. Chris Allen goes through your medical history to discuss whether you're a good candidate for surgery and how risks may impact you.
During the procedure, an incision is made below the bikini line. This results in a minor scar that is generally covered by clothing, undergarments and swimwear. While scarring is unnoticeable for many, it should be considered when making a decision.
After a tummy tuck, some pain, discomfort and swelling in recovery is normal and expected. This can be easily managed with painkillers if necessary.
Find Out More About Tummy Tucks and Body Contouring
Dr. Chris Allen and his team of body contouring experts repair abdominal wall tissues and remove loose skin to allow your body to accurately reflect your healthy weight range. As Perth's experienced plastic surgeons, we work with you to set realistic expectations and results for your surgery. All tummy tuck cosmetic procedures are completed under a general anaesthetic for your comfort.

The Government have confirmed that rail fares are expected to increase by 3.2% next year.
The rise in prices, which follows an increase in prices of 3.6% for this year, means some commuters will have to pay hundreds more, but still suffer an appalling service.
Commenting on the expected rise in the cost of regulated rail fares, Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake said:
"Local rail users already suffer enough from the terrible service provided by GTR Southern Rail and Thameslink, so the idea of paying even more for this service is an outrageous kick in the teeth for long-suffering customers.
"Rather than raising prices, the Government should be punishing rail providers for their shocking service by stripping them of their contracts.
Instead, the Government are allowing the failing rail companies to make more profits at the expense of improving rail services and frustrated commuters."
Tom Brake is campaigning for Southern Rail to be sacked after their dreadful service has caused such misery for local residents. He wants local rail services to be managed by Transport for London. You can add your name to Tom's petition here.
Tom has set out a comprehensive package of measures to address passengers' concerns.
He would:
- Ban companies that breach the terms of their rail services contract from bidding for future franchises for a period of time.
- Allow public sector bodies to bid for franchises to provide some real competition to complacent private sector train operators.
- Give Transport for London responsibility for London suburban rail services to improve reliability and integration with the Overground, Tube, buses and DLR.
And to benefit passengers directly:
- Introduce higher levels of passenger compensation, triggered by shorter delays.
- Guarantee that no train fares rise at a rate faster than inflation until train company performance reaches an acceptable level.
- Simplify train fares so people have the certainty that they are paying the lowest price for their journeys.
- Introduce more flexible ticketing to reflect new ways of working (part-time working, home-working etc).
- Finally, sack the Transport Secretary. His career has hit the buffers! After all, there is no point to a Transport Secretary who denies all responsibility for rail services.
