Each new year brings forth an array of top notch restaurant concepts for eager Coastal Bend foodies to enjoy. Allow us to introduce some of them!
It's spelled "8TE" and pronounced like the words "eight" and "ate." "I'm a sucker for puns and a play on words, and in my culture (born and raised in CC, but my family is Chinese) the number 8 is very lucky," explains owner Megan Datlee. Naturally, she figured she should be open from 8am – 8pm to keep with the theme. So for 12 hours a day, delight in this new local restaurant that has a focus on American dishes with a modern twist. Inspired by casual cafés found in bigger cities, the team at 8TE is ready to offer Corpus Christi a fresh spot for locals and visitors to enjoy! They pride themselves in being as homemade and from scratch as possible. Only open a few months now, Datlee always felt that Corpus was lacking a casual spot like 8TE. When given the opportunity, she knew she wanted a place with simple, classic food that didn't encourage customers to over-analyze or scrutinize dishes too seriously. Creating the menu herself with this in mind, she then added in her love for industrial interiors with a bit of shabby chic. To pay homage to the local economy, Datlee sources her large selection of beer and wine from Texas craft beers and Texas made wines. She's always trying to cycle in new Texas breweries/beers for customers to try. Datlee completely believes good food should be without any crazy techniques or theatrics. "In good food we trust."
The Post
James and Susan Gonzales found inspiration for their new restaurant, The Post, from their travels across the United States. "When my husband and I travel, we love nothing more than to indulge in great food and drinks. And during these travels, we saw a change in the food industry- there was a push for a gastropub," explains Susan. A gastropub is a British concept: A pub that specializes in high-quality food, with a condensed menu. These menus are designed to be enjoyed in a communal setting and each dish, well it may read as a side dish, is in larger portions and meant to be shared (alongside a cocktail or beer of course!). The concept and execution was not something that came over night, but more over the course of a couple of years. The goal is to support other locally owned businesses such as the weekly Downtown Farmer's Market, where Chef Robert Flores buys many locally-grown produce and ingredients. Flores also has a great relationship with several locally owned vendors and famers. With its outstanding Lamar Park Shopping Center location, the Gonzalez family saw that it was lacking a place for food and drinks, a place that one could come to after shopping to relax with a glass of wine or cocktail while enjoying time with friends of family. The Post was named in honor of the original use of the location- the Lamar Park Post Office. It was converted into a retail spot years ago, but they loved the history of the space and couldn't be happier to be opening here. What can you expect to eat? American Fusion! Corn Dog Batter Fried Shrimp, Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls, and Funnel Cake Fries are just a few little teasers.
Angry Marlin Restaurant & Palapa Bar
Reinventing an old space, this flavorfully-colored new restaurant promises that there's NO way anyone can miss it! Ricky Nichols and Glenn Williams, the owners and mastermind behind this new island restaurant, are attributing their years of restaurant experience and love of the sea to the future successes of the Angry Marlin. "I have wanted to open this concept since 2007 so that The Island would have a restaurant that offered a true island experience, much like I experience every time I have visited the Florida Keys," Nichols says. The main focus of the restaurant is to offer a dining experience that will encompass about four different concepts at one location. This way, each guest has something to occupy their whole evening, whether it's dining inside or having a drink in the lounge, or dining outside in the beautiful landscaping, then moving out into the cigar lounge for an after-dinner drink and a cigar, or going to watch the live entertainment and dance on the other side of the property. For extra authenticity, the dishes are made from scratch, and the Chef/Owner Williams incorporates some great southwest items such as Green Chile, Hatch Chile, and a blue corn flour. Belly up to the bar, as the bar top changes as often as the island sunsets!
Rock & Rolls Sushi Lounge
Sit at the bar, sit at a table, or sit at the sushi bar! Owner David Lee doesn't care where you sit, as long as you're there – because you'll always find Lee there. At 27 years old and over 10 years in the restaurant industry, Lee lives, eats, and breathes the new venture, working at least 90 hours a week, right alongside his employees. But it's in his blood! Lee's grandfather and father were both restaurant owners in Corpus Christi. After beginning as a dishwasher and working his way up to sushi chef at what was, ironically, the previous sushi restaurant to occupy the space, it's finally Lee's turn to run the show. At Rock & Roll, he's dishing out the most delectable and delicate fish from islands all over the world, and snapper from here off our coast. Lee created the entire food and drink menu. Delight in a "sound check" or cold appetizer, an "opening act" or hot appetizer, then "plug in" for some rolls and sashimi! The Wagu Beef Tacos and Snapper Tacos are top sellers, and the Cucumber Martini is a hot ticket! Feeling like skipping all that? Hit the "after party" and dig into something sweet. On January 27th, we'd like to wish Rock & Rolls Sushi a happy One Year Anniversary!
The Phoenix Restaurant and Bar
From Cafe Phoenix to The Phoenix Restaurant and Bar, owner and head chef Tiana Worsham took a stand to expand from her previous restaurant at 30 seats to 260 at her new restaurant. This international bistro/nouveau American fine-quality cuisine is prepared daily using many ingredients from the Corpus Christi Farmer's Market creating a constantly eclectic seasonal menu. Guests can choose to sit indoors or outdoors. Foodie menu favorites include the sushi, Tuna stack, scallops and rack of lamb. This restaurant has been a long time in the making and a true labor of love. They work to source products that are fresh, unadulterated and healthy for the patrons. Wherever possible, they bring in organic, non-GMO, hormone-free, free range, fair-trade products. Every person is unique, just as their menu items. The mission is to create an exceptional dining experience for all of their guests. With 3 bars and live music Friday and Saturday nights, the party is here!
Stingrays Taphouse and Grill
This "industrial-chic elite sports bar" attracts the sports fans, the car enthusiasts, and the foodies alike! Owners Shawn and Sandy Etheridge and Chad and Kimber Gorczyca guarantee to provide a unique dining and entertaining experience, with two Corvettes at the center of it all. The perfectly running Corvettes ('70 & '77) hoisted over the bar were bought by Shawn and Chad, but as the story goes, their wives said "sell the cars, make room for the bar!" As all good business men can find a solution to any problem, they decided to keep their cars and display them; hence the name Stingrays. "We love watching people's reaction when they notice the cars. Sometimes people don't notice them until they read the menu." Their black drum comes from a local fisherman and most of the menu ingredients are made in house, such as their pizza dough, and all sauces and dressings. Plus, the brick wood-burning oven is a great conversation piece. Great food, friendly service and the best brews at the beach are here for you! They also love their customers and describe it as a "thrill to talk to them when we bring their food or drinks!" As Manager Dawn Dickinson says, "When there is a hot game on, the energy from the fans is electrified. It's a site to see and be part of." Bring the kids and your pets – their patio is pup and Pampers friendly!
The Groove
Described as Rockport's premier dining experience, owners Lou and Valerie Manendez and son Lou, III, or just simply known as 'Third,' say they pride themselves on serving only made-from-scratch fare. Friends and family were always coming over, as dinner at the Manendez house was too good to miss. They were encouraged to open the restaurant, but to do it as homey and refined as possible. The Groove is an open kitchen concept, with eclectic dining and a boutique ambience. Specializing in prime steaks, prime seafood and wood-fired pizzas, there's a little something for every discriminating craving. Nothing in the restaurant is ever frozen, and they made a conscious decision not to invest in a fryer. Fish is delivered daily, and their number 1 best seller is the Chilean Sea Bass. They often use the wood fire pizza oven to bake the fish, giving it a very special sear. This is a classy place with special attention given to every detail from the live music, to spectacular recipes, to the hostess and wait staff in black apparel. Every night, the owners like to walk around to each table, introduce themselves, and make sure all is to their guests' liking. The best compliment Lou says he's ever received is when a guest told him "For a minute, I forgot I was in Rockport." Perhaps small in size, they are BIG in service and flavor.
The Grille (Ingleside)
The bright neon "Open" sign invites you to step in and enjoy the good, fuss-free food. Serving up specials nearly every single day for lunch and dinner ensures you'll always have the variety that IS the spice of life. Owners Mike and Bob Lynch opened The Grille in March of 2015 on a tiny budget and lots of elbow grease. They sold their restaurant in Bandera to move back to the Coastal Bend and be closer to most of the grandchildren. Mike had just taken a brief hiatus from "chef-ing" after the birth of his youngest daughter, so it seemed like a good time to have a meeting of the minds. The Grille is based on a concept and menu that Mike's parents have used on and off since he was about eight years old. With a few additions from Mike like the specialty burgers, jalapeño bottle caps, and cheese steak omelette, at The Grille, you'll find great, American cafe food at a low price. Try a burger, because the patties are handmade from scratch, as are their soups. There is a fair amount of their ingredients sourced from around Texas, but they look forward to moving toward true Farm to Table dinners. The Lynchs would like to give a special shout-out to Justin Butts, Downtown farmer's market, and Corpus Christi Aquaponics!

6-Year-Old APS Student Found Wandering
Man, Child's Mom Look For Answers From School Officials
Albuquerque Elementary Public elementary schools got out early at 12:30 p.m. as they do every Wednesday, but now questions are raised after a 6-year-old is found wandering far from school and his home.
After the final bell, what came knocking at one man's door has him searching for answers.
It's a knock on the door that's led to a lot of questions for James Piar.
"He got to our door and asked, 'Does this little boy live here?' and we said, 'No,'" said Piar.
Someone had found a 6-year-old boy walking along Lomas and was going door-to-door with him at this apartment complex to try and find his home.
"In talking to the little boy, we figure out he's from Tomasita which is quite a ways to walk, especially for a 6-year-old," Piar said.
Piar said the Tomasita Elementary School student didn't know where to go and would only give his first name. So they took him back to the school and that's where the questions start.
"How did this first-grader get from Tomasita, two blocks off Lomas and start walking down Lomas which is a busy street," Piar said.
APS said at the end of school a teacher took the boy outside to the bus, turned away for a moment and the young man was gone. School officials said they called the mother as soon they discovered he was missing, but while they were calling out Piar was trying to call in.
"I tried to call the school for 20 minutes, no answer. You have to push a number for the nurse, push a number for the office," Piar said.
Finally Piar said he was able to get a hold of someone at the school who told him the little boy was reunited with his mother, but he's still upset about how far the boy was able to get from campus.
"If it were one of my grandkids, I would be seriously upset that they got away that far from the school," Piar said.
Action 7 News asked APS about how they plan to prevent this. They said the principal has spoken with the boys' parents and the school will be keeping a closer eye on him, but no employees will be disciplined for Wednesday's incident.

Understanding the role of structure and dynamics in the functioning of ion channels
Understanding the role of structure and dynamics in the functioning of ion channels
Ion channels have evolved to undergo rapid conformational changes in response to stimuli and thereby tightly regulate ionic fluxes and thus the cell physiology. They have varied architecture and broadly differ in the nature of stimuli, activation timescales and ionic selectivity. This structural and functional diversity allows them to critically govern the rate, duration and amount of current and as a result impact a multitude of cellular processes. One of the fundamental challenges in this field is to understand how spatially-separated structural motifs of the channel communicate in order to fine-tune its function. The primary focus of our research is to elucidate the conformational dynamics underlying allosteric mechanisms in ligand- and voltage-gated channels, and to determine how these processes control the basic features of channel function namely, gating and selectivity. We use a multidisciplinary approach which combines reporter-group spectroscopic techniques (site-directed spin labeling/EPR), electrophysiological methods (single-channel and macroscopic current measurements and model-based kinetic analysis), X-ray crystallography, and Cryo-EM along with classical biochemical and molecular biological procedures. These techniques complement each other and allow, at unprecedented detail, an atomic level description of how structure and dynamics govern protein functioning.

Since the originals have been sold out worldwide for about 15 years now, places have started making reproductions of the infamous Swiss wool army blankets. These are made in India, and are actually quite nice.
The crosses aren't stitched that great or solid like originals, but the blanket itself is actually made quite well. Made of a wool blend for strength and durability. Great for camping or just for something to throw on the couch!

What you will do
Four session course
The words 'beating' and 'brazing' might sound a bit violent, but they'll take on a softer meaning when you learn to sculpt with sheet copper. This four-day course at London Sculpture Workshop is the perfect beginners' introduction to working with this splendidly shiny and marvelously malleable material.
In this course
This course takes place in the fantastic metal working workshop at LSW. On day one, you'll start by creating designs using paper templates and carving wooden moulds and formers. On day two, you'll learn how to cut, shape and fold copper by heating and beating (hey, that rhymes!). Day three will see you join copper by brazing using brass filler rods or rivets. And you'll wrap it up on day four with surface finishes, patinas and effects for sheet copper sculptures. We think you'll deserve a fresh copper ale by the end of all that!
Now you can
- master the basics for making copper sculptures, water features, hanging mobiles and more
- navigate your way around a metal workshop and the tools involved
- start calling yourself a 'coppersmith', which sounds super impressive and intriguingly old-school

A Payload Full Of Dust
One, two, three, four...and many more 'successful' test firings. The charade of the Trishul missile project continues as the Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Hyderabad, is keen to prove a point: who cares if the three services are not interested in the missile, the scientists and engineers would still like to demonstrate "successful flights" from the interim test range at Chandipur-on-Sea in Orissa.
The team has been releasing news of these "successful flights" to wire services every evening, though a couple of times the missile did not even blast off from the launcher. And when it did, it fell short of its range, say senior sources in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The terse wire service despatches only mention the time of launch and that the sophisticated surface-to-air missile has been developed as part of the integrated guided missile development programme.
Interestingly, none of the tests were carried out with a warhead. In fact, DRDO sources have admitted to a couple of failed tests over the week as well as the fact that only "dummies"—only the shell and engine—had been test-launched. These tests would continue as they would throw up interesting data on the technologies and systems such as engines and the air-frame for the next generation of missiles being designed by the DRDO. They would help improve the accuracy, range and split-second reaction of the new missiles. The spin-offs could be transferred to fields such as industrial automation and robotics, the sources said.
The sources confirmed the DRDO has played the requiem for Trishul. Beginning this financial year, no funds would be allocated for the project.

VentureOhio names new leader to promote state's entrepreneurs
Evan Weese, Columbus Business First
Following the sudden death of its first leader and a brief stint for his successor, the year-old VentureOhio believes it has a long-term top executive.
The trade group representing Ohio's entrepreneurial community named Falon Donohue as executive director, starting May 1.
Donohue spent the past seven years in Central Ohio's startup community, including most recently as a business adviser for Houston, Texas-based consulting firm Insperity, working mostly out of Rev1Ventures' offices. She served in the Ohio Air National Guard from 2001 to 2010.
"(VentureOhio) had a start we were very proud of – a lot of membership on a statewide basis, a great venture report published. We were having lots of momentum (but) we went into a little bit of a lull," Rich Langdale, managing partner at Columbus' NCT Ventures and vice president of VentureOhio, told me. "I think we absolutely found (the fix) in Falon."

Related to Corynebacteria: Corynebacterium jeikeium, Corynebacterium striatum
a group of bacteria, whose cell form and life cycle resemble those of mycobacteria. A number of their biochemical and physiological characteristics differ from those of mycobacteria. These bacteria are apparently related to the actinomycetes. The best-known representative of Corynebacteria is Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria. This bacterium contains the nuclei of volutin at the end of the cells; a powerful toxin forms that can cause paralysis of the soft palate, the extremities, and the heart muscle.

On October 15, 2013, I was hired in as the Office Manager of a roof coatings manufacturer in Smithville, OH though Staffing Partners' Wooster Office. From the time I first dropped off my resume through the time I was hired in as a permanent employee, my experience with everyone at Staffing Partners was amazing. Given the fact that I was not only an older worker but was also transitioning careers, they made sure they found a good fit for my talents and their client's need. I was so impressed with Staffing Partners that when I became responsible for the interviewing and hiring, I looked to them for our additional staff. The two people they sent out to interview were both excellent workers and both fit into our culture well. If you are looking for a job or career or are an employer looking to hire on additional staff (clerical or labor), you won't go wrong using Staffing Partners.

A logo combines several different elements to paint your brand's overall picture, with each piece displaying something about your brand identity. But before we delve into each component a logo should have...
What is a logo?
A logo is a catchall term for an emblem or other custom mark that serves as a visual representation of your company or organization!
What is the Word "Logo" Short For?
The strictest graphic design purists will insist that "logo" is short for "logotype." A logotype is a word or a company name written in a stylized way. The trademarked ways Google, Disney, and Coca-Cola are written are all logotypes.
However, many people also use the word logo to refer to a logomark. A logomark is a graphic, symbol, or other identifying mark that doesn't contain any words. Target's red bullseye and the apple that represents Apple computers are both logomarks.
The Plot Thickens
Making matters even more confusing are combination marks. Combination marks contain both text and a graphic symbol (like the Sprint logo), and emblems, which are a specific type of combination mark that incorporates text into a visual element (like the NFL shield or the Starbucks crest).
Experts may separate these marks and designs into categories, but generally speaking, most people refer to them all as logos. There are certain design attributes that any artist will keep in mind when creating the ideal company logo.
What Does a Logo's Color Mean?
Is it any surprise that, in any logo, color is one of the most important elements? After all, color has been shown not only to affect people's mood, but also their buying choices when they shop.
Red - Excitement, Boldness, Hunger
Orange - Friendliness, Cheerfulness
Yellow - Optimism, Confidence
Green - Peace, Nurturing, Freshness
Blue - Calmness, Strength, Security
Purple - Imagination, Creativity
Black - Tradition, Sophistication, Authority
You can find all sorts of guides and infographics breaking down the thoughts and feelings that color can inspire. Here are some examples of the emotions and impressions that colors have been shown to convey:
It makes sense that so many fast food companies have logos that are red while so many law firms' logos are black and white, doesn't it?
What Does A Logo's Font (Typeface) Say?
If you decide to represent your company with a logotype or a combination mark that uses both text and a symbol, you'll have to give some thought to how you want that text to look.
Many people use the word "font" to refer to the visual style of a written or typed set of characters. This is another term that graphic designers might point out as not being technically correct. The word "font" comes from the days of old-fashioned printing presses, when it referred to the different variations of text (like bold and italic) found within one style. So what term should you use if you want to discuss a style of text? That, friends, is properly called a "typeface," or type.
And just as with color, different kinds of type have different effects on people's perceptions of your company. Again, you can find all sorts of guides, but here are some examples of the impressions different typefaces can create for your brand:
Serif typefaces, which have a little tail at the end of the stroke (think Times New Roman), are thought to be traditional and comforting.
Sans serif typefaces, which don't have any tails or flourishes (think Helvetica), are thought to be clean and modern.
Script-like typefaces, which are any of the types that look like calligraphy, can represent elegance or creativity.
What does a logo's symbol say?
This, perhaps, is one of the hardest questions about logo design to answer, because a symbol can be anything: an owl, a footprint, an abstract series of three equilateral triangles. Imagination is the only limit when it comes to thinking up a symbol or logomark to represent your business, if that's the route you choose to go.
Should You Use a Symbol in Your Logo?
Of course, it isn't necessary to have a graphic or a picture as your logo, or even as part of it. There are pros and cons to using symbols in logo design:
- Pros:
- A symbol doesn't depend on text
- It's great for mobile marketing
- Symbols work well for apps
- Cons:
- Images vary across cultures
- You have to be significant in popular culture to be effective
What's Your Story?
If you decide to use a symbol to represent your business, the most important point (aside from making sure that it's distinct and recognizable) is making sure it tells your business's story and explains what you do. The Instagram symbol, a small, square–shaped camera, is an excellent example of a symbol that does just that.
And in all aspects of logo design, it's important to make sure your logo can be shared and reproduced on a wide variety of advertising materials including websites, letterhead, and yes, promotional products. Your logo is your brand, and having a brand symbol that translates well across multiple mediums is an important part of sharing what your company has to say!

Souls In Motion
"Sensual Illusion"
Four original mixes of Souls in Motion's blissful single 'Sensual Illusion'
Souls In Motion are Arkadiusz Los and Piotr Krupa, a production / Dj outfit from Poland. 'Sensual Illusion' is a blissful production featuring ethereal vocals and lush melodies spread across 4 high-spec mixes.
The Original Mix is a big bassline affair, chunky percussion drives the tracks big room sound. Vlind's remix is reminiscent of James Holdens halcyon days with its pristine layers of prog trance grooves, fx and textures. The Forerunners turn in another stunning peak time trance workout, immaculately produced as always with all of Brenden LaBonte's trademark sounds firmly in place. The Balearic mix is authentic Cafe Del Mar fodder, lush stripped down beach or lounge music for those after-hours sessions.

Two Brooklyn toddlers allegedly abandoned by a day care aide in a Long Island mall Wednesday afternoon have been reunited with their parents.
Emerging from a Suffolk County police station Thursday night, 2-year-old Tyler and 3-year-old Abigail clung to their parents as they headed home for the first time in two days.
"He's tired," said Tyler's father said as he held his son. "He just wants to get home as soon as possible."
U.S. & World
Pollyanna Craig, the boy's mother, said, "We're just happy to have him back."
Abigail waved hello from her father's arms. Her mother, Sue Green, said "We're just happy to have our baby. I couldn't sleep."
Authorities say Nicole Noble, the aide from Elite Christian Daycare in Brooklyn, took the 2-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl to the Westfield South Shore Mall and allegedly abandoned them there Wednesday. The children, who are not related, were found playing by themselves.
Tyler's mother, Pollyanna Craig, told NBC 4 New York it's common for aides from the day care to take children out after school, but they usually stay in the neighborhood and then bring the kids home. She said she reported Tyler missing Wednesday night when he didn't come home.
Craig received a call from police the next morning.
"A detective from this precinct called me and told me they had Tyler. I'm like, 'Where are you guys located?'" she said. "He said Long Island. I'm like, 'Are you kidding me? What's Tyler doing out on Long Island?"
"Suppose someone else found him, I would never see him again," she said. "This story would be a different story then."
Tyler's parents told NBC 4 New York Tyler and Abigail were taken into the custody of child protective services workers. The children's parents filled out paperwork to be reunited with their children, and had been waiting since 6 a.m. to see them.
Noble, 34, of Brooklyn, was charged with two counts of abandonment of a child and two counts of endangerment of a child, police said. She entered a plea of not guilty, according to her lawyer, who declined further comment.
A law enforcement source tells NBC 4 New York the day care worker went to a Macy's in the mall to "return something."
Prosecutors said Noble said she was trying to teach the children a lesson about hide-and-seek while shopping.
Noble's brothers said that they thought she had a mental breakdown and did not know that she left the children from the day care.
Green, Abigail's mother, said she knows the aide and was shocked by her alleged actions.
"She's very soft-spoken. I don't know what happened. We haven't gotten any specific details," she said, adding that Abigail's father's family had enrolled their children at the day care for years and had never had any issues.
Elite Christian Daycare hung up the phone when contacted by NBC 4 New York.

Choosing performance monitoring tools
There are many performance monitoring tools to choose from. In this tip, we describe which tools do what and how to choose the best monitoring tool for your desktop environment.
Desktop virtualization promises to save enterprises from rising data center costs and management headaches. IT administrators, however, have had to contend with immature technology, inconsistent terminology and executive and user reluctance. Fortunately, you can get the most out of virtualization by assembling a toolbox of assorted technologies.
Performance monitoring
The performance monitoring landscape is pretty overwhelming. There are dozens of tools to help you get a grip on your virtual desktop environment. Some tools do very specific things, while others are broad, complex solutions that monitor just about everything. Choosing the right one can be tough, but there are some questions to ask before considering a VDI performance monitoring tool that can help you narrow down the options.
What do you want to monitor?
Because performance monitoring can be so many things, you need to choose exactly what you want to monitor. It could be only a few things or it could be everything, so pick something that meets those needs without going overboard or falling short.If you're looking for something that monitors everything in your organization, products from Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Dell, CA, BMC Software and other vendors in the enterprise space offer products that do it all.
Other products that offer broad insight but don't reach down into back-end data center components, such as storage and networking, are available from eG Innovations, Liquidware Labs and Lakeside Software. These tools deal specifically with desktops.
It's possible to get a high-level overview of your environment without going overboard, too. Companies such as Xangati can provide views of a virtualized infrastructure from the endpoint to the hypervisor. You can get a holistic view of the environment -- including a neat "health index" score with Xangati -- but you have to trade off granular detail of the endpoint and the VM to get it.
If you're looking for a point solution, the companies mentioned above can certainly help, but something less complex and more focused on a single aspect of your environment might be better. VMware, Citrix and Quest Software all have in-the-box utilities in addition to tools from networking, storage and hardware-focused vendors.
Why do you need performance monitoring?
There are many different reasons to use a performance monitoring package. Lots of organizations try to get by without monitoring (or only use built-in features) until they need to find the root cause of a performance problem. This is what's called "reactive performance monitoring" and it's where people make the biggest mistakes because they don't consider all the factors that they should when choosing a product.
The opposite of reactive monitoring is proactive monitoring. With proactive monitoring, you keep an eye on your environment before it gets out of control, at which point, many people could be affected, as opposed to just a few. While there's usually only one reason for reactive performance monitoring -- failure, crazy applications, bad configurations, etc. -- proactive performance monitoring can have one or several catalysts.
One reason to proactively buy a performance monitoring system is to make the move to VDI as smooth as possible. When migrating to virtual desktops, capacity planning, load testing and user-experience testing are important capabilities to have. In the next and final installment of our virtual desktop toolbox series, we'll look at those capabilities.
Unfortunately, there's no definitive answer on which performance monitoring tool to use. Before choosing a product, look at why you want to monitor performance and what exactly you want to monitor. Do you need visibility into the VM or the endpoint? Do you need to monitor storage or network components? Answering these questions will help you decide which product you need and help keep you from under- or overspending on a performance monitoring tool.

Gospel singer Daddy Owen and his Farida Wambui are the latest parents in town.
The power couple, who tied the knot early April in 2016 in a colourful wedding ceremony, has welcomed a bouncing baby boy.
Wambui gave birth at the Nairobi Hospital and mother and baby are in high spirits and recovering well.
The Vanity hit singer took to social media to share the great news with his followers and he wrote:
"Thank you LORD for blessing us with this little angel, though he may have the littlest feet but he makes the biggest footprints in our hearts! I decree and declare a blessing from above! You shall be the head and not the tail! You shall be more than a conqueror! God has a plan and a future for you!'.
Welcome my son! I believe you are a fisher of men and you carrying the biggest net! This is one of the best experience in my life. We never know the love of a parent until we become parents ourselves, Children bring us a piece of heaven on earth. Son, you fill a place in my heart that I never knew was empty… I love u so much! For real a baby is an inestimable blessing.. I dedicate my son to you LORD."

My problem is the overall appearance
– I expect my site asthetically to jump out at people
– easy to read text …
--easy on the eyes
–attractive colors and graphics
My opinion is that the right fonts & colors are missing – My eyes are stressed out reading that gray dull blurry text - there is no POP to each page –
the content is drab "looking" –
This site design needs a larger logo, more contrast between the background and the header and all around needs to be cleaned up and more professional.

how I can calculate the maximum in an array of integers??
Another homework question? Just iterate through the array and check which value is biggest. How much easier can it be?
here is my problem I have this array (2 3 1 2 4 2) and I have to find the maximum of it...
You are given this sort of problem for homework to make you think and learn. There's no point in asking others to do it for you.
If you really can't work out how to do this then perhaps computer programming is not your thing. Take a more appropriate course.
set max equal to element 0 of the array
loop through the array starting with element 1
if max is less than the current element, the current element becomes max
its not a homework... I study this by myself.
thanks shutat but l did this and its not working ...
This is very straightforward stuff and you've already been told how to do it, so it's difficult to know where you are going wrong. The best thing to do is to list the program that you have written; then we can have a look and see what you are doing wrong and give you a few hints. There's no point in us just listing a solution as you'll learn nothing that way.
Also it would be helpful to know which C/C++ compiler you are using and which Operating System. I'm quite happy to point you in the right direction once I see what you have tried so far.
10x anyway you have been so helpful for me ijack :)...
...and the program that you have written that doesn't work? Don't you want help with it?
this program find the maximum in the array of integer...
#include <iostream.h>
void main()
int max,i,n,arr[100];
cin >>n;
for (i=0;i<n;i++)
for (i=1;i<n;i++)
cout <<max;
No, it started to work suddenly.. I think the problem was form my computer ...

Not every goal is a beauty, but they all count the same.
Atlanta United striker Josef Martinez scored a brave point-blank header after a wild sequence in the Juventus penalty box, leaping over defender Alex Sandro to nod home the bouncing ball and draw the MLS All-Star squad level at 1-1 in the first half.
It had to be him. @JosefMartinez17 for the MLS All-Stars 🙌#MLSAllStar by @Target. https://t.co/4WNMDxinc7— Major League Soccer (@MLS) August 2, 2018
The play began with a sharp cut and cross by Miguel Almiron that Martinez headed backwards into the path of Carlos Vela, whose shot was saved by Wojciech Szczesny – but Ignacio Piatti sent the rebound back across goal, where Martinez was the fastest to react, risking his body to bundle it home.

How to create a remote desktop connection on High DPI Screens and get the normal display. There is some problem when we use High DPI Screens Devices. Such as Surface Pro or Lenovo Yoga to create a remote desktop session. The problem is the display is crazy small. That is because high DPI screen device uses 150% scaling for it's local Windows display. But this is not the default for the remote machines. There is some method to solve the problem.
- Check your remote desktop client version. Read on how to check your RDP Client Version make sure you have the latest version of RDP Client.
- Change the DPI Zooming Setting. You can use a third party app to do this task. Read it here.
- Use Remote Desktop Manager Software. This software allows you to create a remote desktop session with advanced settings.
Remote Desktop Connection Manager
This is a souped-up version of the Windows RDP client, apparently intended for people switching between many different servers. It displays a tree of servers on a panel to the left of the screen and displays the desktop of the remote machine on the rest of the screen. With the right settings, you can get it to display a sane sized desktop on a high DPI screen.

Getty Images is a visual media company based in Seattle, Washington. Getty is a supplier of stock images, editorial photography, and video-music for business and consumers all over the world. With an archive of over 200 million assets including images from major and minor websites such as Art.com, Ausport.com and the Hilton press Library, Getty Images has helped many consumers realize their dream.
By owning the rights to an array of images, videos and music Getty can then make those rights available to its customers for a fair price. This enables them to legally post photos on their websites, newspapers and books without the hassle and red tape involved in using other artists work.
The company was founded on March 14th 1995 by Mark Getty and Jonathan Klein. Their mission was and still is to move the world with their images and has since then become the worlds largest commercial collection, archiving over 80 million prints.
Serving 1.5 million customers in more than 200 countries, Getty Imaging is considered the number one global distribution network with a passion for prints you wont find in any other company. You can either be a consumer or a contributor for this website that allows its patrons to either buy or sell all types of images.
Customers are offered many services through the website and are actually purchasing a license allowing them to download and use Getty's files for personal use. There are many different choices and types of photographs that the company is offering. Interior design prints are expertly curated and professionally produced photographs. These are top of the line quality and the most expensive to purchase. If you are servicing places like a medical practice, restaurant or corporate office you may want to chose the Art Advisory option for your prints. These prints are curated with in house staff to find the artwork that compliments the customers brands and personality. Striving to elevate your own individual space is always Getty's main priority.
Pricing Structure:

Getty Imaging does not offer any promotional coupons at this time but they do however have something called ultrapacks.
What Are UltraPacks?
Ultrapacks let you pay upfront for a set amount of images that you then chose to download at a later time. They are a lot like gift cards because they do not expire and are paid for beforehand.

Chapter 49: Ten Man Free For All Battle
The soul technique book for spirit disciples had a thin, scroll-like quality, and all soul technique books could be classified as a consumable good. Once a trainer's soul remembrance was inputted into the book, the book's logged technique would then be imprinted into the soul pet trainer's memory, and the book would become useless.
Unlocking soul technique books also required soul power, so Chu Mu had to wait until after he fed his White Nightmare before opening the book.
Following this, Chu Mu also bought some duo type soul cores of the Beast Type and Fire Type from the old trader in order to guarantee food for Mo Xie's training in the next ten days.
Finally, with his last gold, he bought two bottles of second rank low power healing medicine from the pharmacist for healing Mo Xie.
After finishing all this, Chu Mu returned to his living quarters.
When he returned, it was already night. Immediately after Chu Mu stepped into the courtyard, the stench of blood hit him. He saw the other soul pet trainers huddled around in the courtyard, indignantly talking about something.
Ting Yu was one of them as well, so when she saw Chu Mu, she immediately walked up to him.
"What's up?" Chu Mu asked.
"Yesterday a few foremen came and distributed a few decent quality soul cores to us in preparation for the competition the day after tomorrow. Yet, today, many people from other islands came to mingle with us, trading soul cores based on different types. There was one group of people who were very impudent. As soon as we declined to trade, they started fighting……" Ting Yu said anxiously.
Chu Mu glanced at everyone and discovered that, other than two girls, everyone had a few obvious wounds. Even the strongest, Feng Gu, was ragged and filthy with blood.
The nine who survived Cyan Nightmare Island all had very keen self protection awareness. If they were wounded, then their soul pets were definitely defeated.
"Chu Mu, where have you been these days, don't tell me you don't know that the competition will be held in the form of teams? Now that we've been bullied like this, with our soul pets hurt, how are we going to compete with people from the other islands!" With wounds all over his face, Cheng Zhuo said somewhat angrily.
The opposing side also had ten people, all of which were very strong. But on their side, Chu Mu operated alone, rendering him unavailable for days on end. With a difference in both power and numbers, they were destined to fail.
"Team Mode?" Chu Mu furrowed his brows.
Ting Yu saw Chu Mu's puzzlement and immediately explained, "The battle is fought with each island as a team, and people with prominent performances in the team battles are picked out and ranked."
"Is it tag team or Ten v.s. Ten?" Chu Mu asked again.
"Strictly speaking, it's ten soul pets V.S. ten soul pets. Trainers do not participate." Feng Gu answered with relative calmness.
Since they reached Cyan Nightmare Island, Feng Gu was named the leader of the ten people. This team battle would also be led and commanded by him. Because Chu Mu couldn't be seen these days, Feng Gu could only gather the other nine people to practice synergizing their soul pets.
"With a team victory, every one of us will be able to go into the soul technique book pavilion to select a soul technique. Personal ability will be decided by the foremen and both rewards and jobs will then be distributed accordingly." Ting Yu added.
Chu Mu nodded and, without caring about anyone's grumbling, went straight back to his room to learn his new soul technique - Rapid Freeze.
"This guy is too self-centered, completely not putting us in his eyes!" Cheng Zhuo said angrily when he saw Chu Mu leave.
"Whatever, let him be. You best not irritate him. Don't forget that five people were killed by him in one night." Li Zhi said.
Cheng Zhuo grinded his teeth, but didn't really dare to do anything to Chu Mu.
Though the ten were led by Feng Gu, everyone knew that the strongest was really the always missing Chu Mu.
Returning to his living space, Chu Mu fed 80% of his soul power to his White Nightmare and used the rest to activate the soul technique book - Rapid Freeze.
Chu Mu was now a Third Remembrance Spirit Soldier, so learning the abilities of a Soul Disciple wasn't too hard. Throughout the entire night, Chu Mu remained awake, spending all his efforts on repeatedly practicing Rapid Freeze.
Deep into the night, Ting Yu tossed and turned, struggling to fall asleep. For some unknown reason, she always felt like her room's temperature had fallen a lot. No matter how much she wrapped herself in blankets, there would still be coldness seeping into her body.
What caused the neighboring Ting Yu to be sleepless was naturally Chu Mu's masterpiece. After an entire night of practicing, Chu Mu finally grasped the incantation of Rapid Freeze and could properly cast this spell.
Of course, though he grasped it, Chu Mu could probably only succeed once every two tries, and if his casting failed, his soul power would still be depleted by around 10%. To master the ability and cast it 100% of the time, he still needed a period of consistent practicing and daily usage.
Mo Xie needed a day of rest to completely recover her fighting strength, so Chu Mu spent the second day practicing the incantation some more, as well as becoming more proficient in chanting the convoluted charm. This way, he won't encounter any problems when casting the spell.
"Chu Mu, are you in there?" The voice of a downcast teen sounded from outside the door.
"En, what?" Chu Mu asked. Chu Mu recognized the sound as Feng Gu's.
"Every Cyan Nightmare Island owner will compare their respective teams. If we suffer defeat in this team battle, Cao Yi will unleash his wrath on us, so even if you plan on forfeiting the Soul Technique selection, you should still participate in the fight." Feng Gu said.
"I will attend." Chu Mu said. A simple victory was enough to guarantee a chance to choose a soul technique, and the soul technique books treasured in the soul technique book pavilion was definitely more plentiful than the selection of the old trader. Chu Mu wouldn't give this opportunity away for nothing.
"That's good. Then, do you want to join our tactic discussions?" Feng Gu asked.
"You guys can talk, I have to feed my Nightmare." Chu Mu carelessly picked an excuse.
"En, I hope that you will try your best tomorrow. Our opponents have two Second Form First Stage soul pets, so they're really strong. If you can distract and control one, we still have hope for victory." Feng Gu added.
Chu Mu simply agreed listlessly and continued practicing his incantation, unconcerned about the other people in the courtyard practicing battle tactics.
In Chu Mu's eyes, Mo Xie's strength was leagues above everyone else, so joining battle practice had minimal meaning. As for the two second form first stage soul pets that Feng Gu mentioned, Chu Mu didn't have to take them seriously. The amount of second form soul pets Mo Xie has killed in the past two days wasn't just a few.

Flowers are a beautiful part of creation, and have long been used to tell stories, to uplift, and to adorn. Around this time of year, you see girls and women alike wearing flowers in their hair, attached to a bag, or even pinned on a scarf. Let us tell you the story of our handmade daisy clips from Haiti.
These clips are handcrafted with twine by artisans working through the cooperative 2nd Story Goods. Each daisy is approximately 3 1/2" in diameter, and is secured with a smaller duckbill clip. They are perfect for dressing up or for dressing casually, either put in your hair or clipped onto a bag or purse.
But they aren't only beautiful clips—they are also a way for families in Haiti to maintain sustainable incomes. In Haiti, there is a 40% unemployment rate, resulting in many families suffering. 2nd Story Goods partners with Haitian men and women to create products that empower their families.
The daisy making at 2nd Story Goods is overseen by Anite (pictured above). Anite has three daughters and one young son who has physical and mental disabilities. She lost her husband in the terrible flood that hit Gonaives in 2008. But she is strong.
Anite is determined to keep her family together and to make it possible for her kids to continue to go to school. She works incredibly hard—and lives out her faith. She—and others—is able to provide for her family through these clips.
By purchasing this clip, you will not only be buying a wonderful product but you will also be supporting a great cause. By purchasing this clip, you will be helping Haitian men and women to have sustainable jobs.
Brighten the day of your daughter, your niece, your aunt, your mom, your grandma, your friend—need I go on? Give her one of these lovely handmade clips that will both be a blessing to her, and to the people who made it.
