Building Dynamic Third Network Services Powered By CE 2.0, LSO, SDN & NFV
Mexico City – March 16, 2016
Following the introduction of very successful seminars in 2015, we are excited to offer an expanded seminar program for 2016, with more cities, many new topical areas and content reflecting the significant evolution of the network services market experienced in 2015 and projected for 2016!
Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) provides a framework for the development, delivery, and certification of state-of-the-art standardized services. Industry-wide, we continue to see robust growth for the global Carrier Ethernet services market, which analysts estimate will exceed $50 billion in 2016. Major service providers are expanding CE 2.0 coverage, improving end-to-end capabilities and SLAs for both on and off-net constructed services. Numerous small to medium size providers are joining the community of standardized CE 2.0 access service providers.
Concurrently, we are witnessing exciting activities related to the multi-year transformation of the CE market from a pre-defined connectivity model toward a software-driven model in which Third Network services provides a dynamic, cloud-like experience with user-directed control over network resources. This transition begins with CE 2.0 certified services as the foundation upon which to build dynamic connectivity services powered by LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration), SDN, and NFV.
Internally at MEF and together with SDOs and Open Source partners, numerous new works are underway to achieve our Third Network goals. Many of these and other industry developments were recently debated and demonstrated at MEF's flagship GEN15 event, with 35 countries and 250+ organizations participating. The MEF Seminars 2016: Building Dynamic Third Network Services Powered By CE 2.0, LSO, SDN & NFV are regional micro-events that brings leading subject matter experts to locations around the globe to educate participants on industry trends and developments. Emphasis is on the preparation that service providers should consider to establish a solid CE 2.0 platform in support of new value-added innovations.

|Welcome, Objectives, and Agenda Overview
|Emerson Moura
Cisco Systems Engineer & MEF CALA Marketing Co-Chair
|MEF Strategy and Market Trends
|Stan Hubbard
Director of Communications & Research, MEF
|Multi-Operator Service Delivery: From Months to Minutes...
The MEF is focused on enabling dynamic network services for the digital economy and the hyper-connected world, providing businesses an on-demand, cloud-connected, secure, and assured experience.
This presentation will explain how LSO is the critical enabler of automated and virtualized networks built with SDN and NFV. Currently, Service Providers need LSO capabilities and supporting APIs to overcome the OSS and BSS obstacles that prevent them from realizing the full benefits of emerging SDN and NFV technologies. LSO encompasses all network domains that require coordinated inter-operator end-to-end management and control to deliver on-demand cloud connectivity services and to assure their overall quality and security as expressed in the Service Provider SLA.
|Andrés Ramos
Product Portfolio Manager, Internexa & MEF CALA Marketing Co-Chair
|MEF's Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) Reference Architecture and Framework
|The LSO Reference Architecture and Framework defines the management and control layered reference architecture and the framework that characterizes the domains and management entities required to enable cooperative LSO capabilities for connectivity services. The framework also provides high level use cases describing orchestrated connectivity service behavior as well as interactions among management and control entities. The management and control reference points that characterize interactions between LSO management ecosystem components are identified in the framework. This session will provide the definition of LSO, its related information and APIs and how SDOs and Open Source projects are collaborating to make Third Network Services a reality.

text: Security forces sealed the area after gunfire erupted The men approached the embassy compound on Tuesday morning and then attempted to blow up a car outside, according to Syrian television.A Syrian official said all US diplomats were safe while Syria's Sana news agency reported that a member of the Syrian anti-terror squad was killed while defending the building.A Chinese diplomat was also slightly wounded by a stray bullet, according to Chinese state media. Syrian state television said the attackers had tried to detonate a car bomb in front of the embassy, but had failed. The men were reportedly chanting religious slogans as they attacked the building. Television footage of the scene showed a van packed with gas canisters and detonators taped to them, as well as bloodstains on the pavement and a bullet-riddled car. Syrian security forces sealed off al-Rawda area after heavy gunfire started.The district also houses security installations and the homes of senior government officials. There was no word on the identity of the attackers, but Syrian forces clashed with Islamist fighters several times last year, usually in raids to arrest them. Car bombing foiled The interior minister described the attack as "a terrorist operation", and told Syrian television that "investigations are under way to find out more details". The US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, said: "It's too early to tell who might have been responsible for the attack... We will have to do the forensics." Rice thanked Syrian security forces and expressed condolences over the death of the security officer. "I do think that the Syrians reacted to this attack in a way that helped to secure our people, and we very much appreciate that," she said. This is the first time an embassyin Damascus has been targetedMeanwhile, speaking to Aljazeera on Tuesday from the Syrian capital, Mahdi Dakhlallah, the former Syrian information minister, said: "Damascus has witnessed similar incidents before, but this is the first time an embassy has been targeted. "The authorities have always tried to maintain a balance between the demands of security and citizens' freedom of movement. "Some say that the embassy area is a security zone, but this is not true. People can freely move around any embassy in Damascus despite the heavy security arrangements in the area." Terrorism spurt Dakhlallah continued: "What happened on Tuesday could happen in any other place in the world. "The whole region is witnessing terrorist attacks. Terrorism level in the region has increased by around 40 per cent over what it was before the war. "We hope the US will understand that its unjust policies in the region are leading to unrest and giving terrorist groups justification for carrying out attacks against Arab countries. Nevertheless, Dakhlallah said the security situation in Syria is by and large stable, with a few exceptional cases. SOURCE: Agencies

A few Sundays ago (the 27th of July to be exact), Marty and I boarded a 6AM flight to Orlando, Florida. A week prior, we had purchased a last minute Carnival cruise to enjoy as a 'babymoon' before Baby Boden joins us in the fall. We knew we only had a certain time frame to work with (due to Marty heading back to school in August) so we figured a cruise would be the perfect, relaxing, five-day getaway we were looking for!
We landed in Orlando around 11AM and purchased a round-trip shuttle ticket to the cruise port. After an hour drive in the crowded, hot shuttle, we arrived at the cruise port! Not too much longer until we'd be kicking back on the cruise ship…
…or so we thought…
After making our way through the passport line and up to the check-in counter we were asked to provide our "letter." Letter? What letter? The agent informed us that I needed a doctors letter to board the cruise. She then escorted us over to another lady who informed us to take a seat to the side of the counter. We were – under no circumstances – allowed to board without that letter.
My heart immediately began to rush as I knew I wouldn't be able to get ahold of my doctor on a Sunday afternoon. I called the offices and couldn't get through to anyone. I called a nearby hospital where I once had an appointment – nothing. I continued to search my mind for an idea of how to produce this letter but it seemed like a lost cause.
While I'm frantically dialing numbers and searching through the Internet Whitepages to find my OB's personal number, it occurred to me that I could have a family friend write the letter. Granted, the man I had in mind wasn't my doctor but he knows me well enough to know that I take good care of myself. I quickly called his wife, briefly explained the dilemma and she passed the phone along to him. Please let this work.
I'm sure he could hear the desperation in my voice and he agreed to fax a letter of wellness to the cruise director. Whoo-hoo! This was going to work out after all!
For what seemed like the longest fifteen minutes of our lives, Marty and I waited for confirmation that the fax had been received. The cruise director approached us with a piece of paper in her hand. This is it, this is it…
"I'm sorry but we are unable to allow Mrs. Boden to board the ship…"
Marty and I looked at each other.
"…your doctor has clearly stated that you are twenty-five weeks pregnant. We are unable to allow anyone past twenty-four weeks."
I tried to plea with her, but it was useless. We wouldn't be going on our 'babymoon' cruise.
After signing some paperwork we were escorted outside and told to call a taxi. I was able to maintain my composure until I called my mom…then the tears began to flow. I'm talking the 'ugly' cry in this public space. Nice.
By the time the taxi arrived I managed to pull myself together but I just couldn't hide my disappointment. As we began to sort out a new plan, I was in awe of Marty's calm and cool demeanor. I couldn't understand why he wasn't as upset as I was!? He explained to me that, in the grand scheme of our lives, this was just a little bump in the road. What a privilege it is to even have the opportunity to cruise; I needed to put the situation into perspective. Talk about a humbling conversation.
Ultimately, we decided the best plan would be to fly back to Columbus and spend the week together. A stay-cation. We could go camping one night, go on long walks into downtown Columbus, eat Jeni's ice cream, spend the afternoon at my aunt's pool, go to a movie, eat half-price sushi; we would just spend quality time with one another. Something (I'm embarrassed to admit) we hadn't done in months.
We had a game plan but now we had to work out the details of getting back to Columbus. Fortunately, we were able to reschedule our flights for the following afternoon without any penalties! Thank you Delta! The remainder of our Sunday was spent in Orlando, Florida. We booked a cheap hotel, went for Mexican food and then got up the next morning and went to Cracker Barrel before our flight home (I hadn't been there in 10+ years! Nomnomnom.)
Looking back at our experience, I have say that the entire fiasco really united us. A 'babymoon' getaway was something we'd been looking forward to and, although we were disappointed, we faced it together. Marty was right: not being able to go on a cruise isn't the end of the world. We may have lost some money but we (all three of us 🙂 ) are safe and enjoyed a little adventure with one another. Talk about a story for the baby book…

There's no better solution for flat roof residences and businesses than Torch On Roofing
Torch-on roofing (also known as torch-down roofing, asphalt roll roofing, or rubberized asphalt) protects your home and business from the elements better than any other material out there. It's a very cost-efficient way to block heat, weather, and UV rays, and can last 20 years or more. But it's no DIY project—Torch-On Roofing requires a very skilled set of hands to install and repair. Thankfully, Canuck Roofing has just the hands to do it.
Home and business owners across Vancouver's lower mainland (Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey, and beyond) have trusted Canuck Roofing for the past 25 years to install and maintain a solid roof over their head.
Advantages of our Torch-On Roofing Services in Vancouver Lower Mainland and Beyond.
When it comes to choosing the right roof for your home, a lot of factors come into play—including geographic location and the shape of your roof. If you have a flat or low-sloped roof, here are some benefits to having torch-on roofing for your home.
One main benefit of torch-on roofing is durability. Torch-on roofs can last 25+ years when installed correctly and have yearly maintenance checks completed.
Heat Protection:
Some lighter coloured torch-on roofs reflect UV rays, which helps to keep your indoor temperatures cool (especially during a heatwave). This will help to save on air conditioning costs and make your property more energy efficient. In addition, there are torch-on products which can achieve a LEED credit.
Less Odor:
Tar-and-gravel roofs can have quite an odor, often requiring residents to leave their home while the roof is being applied. Torch-on roofs do not require a hot tar kettle on the ground, which means occupants will rarely have to leave a property during application.
Torch-on roofs are completely sealed off, making them totally waterproof. This is hugely beneficial when it comes to preventing leaks, even during the biggest storms.
Cost Effective:
Since torch-on roofs are low maintenance and highly weather resistant, they're a very cost-effective option for property owners. The initial investment might be slightly more expensive than traditional shingles, but the long-term benefits will more than make up for it.
Easy Modifications:
Modifications, such as installing a skylight, can be easily done to your torch-on roof without much trouble at all.
Additional Installation:
In addition to your roof, you can install torch-on roof membranes to your foundation or decks as well. Since the material is so durable, you can install decking over your finished product without a problem.
We have extensive experience in torch on roofing installation, and we stand by our work. We use the highest quality and most sustainable materials possible.
By working with us, you can expect to have a durable torch on roof for your business or home that is easy to maintain and clean for a very long time.
We're members in good standing with WorkSafeBC, and our experienced team is committed
to proper safety protocols.
Every job comes with a copy of
our $5 million liability insurance coverage, making us one of
the most trusted roofing and
torch on installation companies in British Columbia.
We are committed to providing you with the best service possible to help extend the life of your
torch on roof and save you money
in the long run. Our long-lasting torch on roofing gives incredible value for your dollar, providing a
long lifespan at a low cost. In addition, we are proud to offer warranties for 10-15 years on Labour and Materials.

There have been a number of complaints and representations regarding adulteration of tapioca sago with maize starch. It has come to the notice of the FSSAI that products that look similar to sago are being manufactured using maize starch or any other imported starch and not tapioca starch. In this regard, the FSSAI has issued a letter dated 21 September 2017 directing the Commissioners and Officers in charge of food safety in the states and union territories about the steps they need to take to prevent this kind of adulteration.
The FSSAI has deliberated upon the matter and has come to the decision that since the regulations contain standards only for Tapioca sago, therefore the use of any other starch from any other source will be treated as adulteration of sago. If any other starch, like maize starch, is used to make look-alike sago then
- prior approval will have to be sought for such products
- products that do not contain tapioca starch but other starch cannot be named or labeled Sago or Tapioca starch sago
The FSSAI has also directed the Commissioners and officers in charge of food safety to ensure that FBOs make Tapioca sago only with Tapioca starch as per the standards are given in the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Amendment Regulations, 2016.
These regulations (2.4.14) under STARCHY FOODS define SAGO as small hard globules or pearls made from either the starch of the sago palm or the tubers of tapioca (Manihot utilissima) and shall be free from any extraneous matter including natural colors. Sago must conform to standards given below
- total ash (on dry basis) shall not be more than 0.4 percent
- ash insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid (on dry basis) shall not exceed 0.1 percent
In view of the above Tapioca Sago can only be made from tapioca starch as per the prescribed standards and under hygienic conditions. Commissioners and Officers in charge of food safety will take the necessary steps to stop adulteration in tapioca sago with immediate effect according to the directions.

The Speed of Life
Things Happen in Threes
At least that's what they say and they're always right. I never knew who they were, but they seemed to have an anonymous authority that not even my teachers had when I was growing up and believe me, they had a lot of power. One word about the slightest deviance from the straight and narrow on my part and I was in trouble both in school and at home. Maybe that's why I became a teacher: I wanted some of that power they wielded over the poor unfortunate charges in their care. Then I became a teacher and I learned not so much, as the kids say. Actually I never had a mean-spirited or unkind teacher until I had a certain lady for chorus in eighth grade who was the teacher from the Bad Place. I won't go into what she said and did. It still makes me shiver. But with my other teachers, just the knowledge that they could ruin our lives was enough to keep us in line. But I digress.
I was thinking about things running in threes the other day, and they seem to do so. Take our recent spate of disasters: earthquake, hurricane and flood. Coincidence that we had three natural disasters and no more? I think not, Smilin' Jack. Or that people we know in the church and community seem to die in threes. And then there are airplane crashes. We flew to Charleston, S.C. the same week that the Concorde crashed in Paris and a smaller plane went down. They delayed our flight for mechanical troubles and I was worried, but we got to Charleston and came back without mishap. It wasn't our time.
I wrote about appliances and house systems and cars communicating with each other and failing one after the other. Probably just coincidence again, but as I wrote yesterday, our dryer stopped drying and then my dad's Impala that I drive started making a loud and annoying clicking sound from the dashboard, even after the engine was turned off (the mechanic said it was the "blend door actuator motor" or something like that). Both were quickly fixed but I waited for the other shoe to drop. Sure enough it came last night when I wanted to finish a blog that I had started about noon. My computer was comatose and couldn't be roused so I had a forced shutdown and it shut down all right. It restored itself to its noon time state and the work on the day's blog was lost. I didn't want to redo it since it had some detail in it so I did a simpler one about my dryer breaking. Then my color printer was affected by the computer's misbehavior and kept insisting it was out of ink after I had installed four new cartridges. This is the printer I want to throw out of the second story window every so often because it misbehaves like this every so often. Then my good old reliable laser printer kept trying to come on and making horrible groaning sounds that caused the lights to dim. I was able to set things right with my computer, but I hope I won't have to deal with any group of three disasters again any time soon.
Drying Times
Last week I was drying a load of laundry and went off and left the dryer running. This is not a good idea for a couple of reasons: the less serious one is that if you leave the clothes in the dryer after it is done, the clothes wrinkle. Then you have to iron them. That's no big deal for me because I love to iron but most clothes these days don't need ironing if you get them out of the dryer shortly after it does go off. In fact, I love to iron clothes so much and rarely have the chance to do so you can bring your wrinkled clothes to me and I will iron them and talk to you at the same time! Amazing, I know.
The more serious reason that I should not leave the dryer running is that it can catch fire and burn the house down. This I would not enjoy. We know someone who had their house burn down from a dryer fire, and we ourselves had the lint in a poorly designed lint filter catch fire. Fortunately all it did was burn up the wiring inside the dryer which meant we had to get a new one which was OK because we hated the old dryer about as much as I hate my color printer which is clicking and groaning and burping right now and telling me it needs more expensive color cartridges when I just replaced them. Excuse me while I throw my color printer out of a second story window.
All done. I feel better now. Anyhow, I came back to my running dryer after about three hours of supporting the local economy and found that it had not burned anything, including itself, up and that it was still running after three hours. That was because the clothes were not dry. The dry clothes fairies that live inside the dryer had noticed that the clothes were not yet dry and had not used their magic dry clothes fairy powers to shut the dryer off and wrinkle the clothes. The clothes were wet because the dryer wasn't heating up. So it wasn't a dryer. It was a spinner and a darned fine one at that. I guess it would have eventually dried the clothes by spinning them but that would have taken billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity and ruined our planet forever. And I would have been responsible. Glad I didn't hit that last bookstore. Sometimes you just get lucky.
.069 Tons
Readers of a certain age may remember a song called "Sixteen Tons" which went to number one on the Billboard charts in 1955 in a version by Tennessee Ernie Ford (readers of a certain age may remember him). I always thought the song was written by Merle Travis (inventor of "Travis picking" on the guitar, a finger style way of playing) who recorded and released the song in 1947, but George S. Davis, a folk singer and songwriter who had been a Kentucky coal miner, claimed on a 1966 recording for Folkways Records to have written the song as "Nine-to-ten tons" in the 1930s.
I was thinking of this song when, as part of my insulating the attic project (see yesterday's blog, "Hot, Hot, Hot"), I decided to take down all but last seven years of tax return records. We moved into the house in 1988 and I think the earliest records date to 1981. There might be earlier ones buried beneath the others. I found it interesting that the assorted documentation associated with a tax return first fit into a shoe box, then a Girl Scout cookie box, and then a letter-sized storage box. That's what I used last year, and I think I'm going to have to go to a legal-sized storage box this year.
Of course, I just can't put tax records out with the other recycling: they need to be shredded or otherwise properly disposed of. We have a pretty good crosscut shredder, but it is an arduous process to shred thousands of checks (they used to be sent back with your monthly bank statement). My father (who I wrote about last week in Bring Him Home") is staying with us in between a stay in Manassas Rehab Center after an illness which put him in the hospital and a place in about a month at Caton Merchant House assisted living. He wanted something useful to do so he offered to shred the contents of as many boxes as he could until he moved to CMH. I took him up on his offer and he's done about three boxes in two days.
I investigated what it would cost to have the documents shredded by a company and the answer was about a dollar a pound. I weighed all the boxes and they came to 138 pounds (or .069 tons). I told my father I would pay him a dollar a pound to shred and he said he wanted time and a half for overtime. We are now conducting contract negotiations.I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hot, Hot, Hot, or, Great Idea #453
Death of a Cat
I should say the current one since Trio, a grand dame of a calico, passed on this week. She was about a month over twenty-one years, which made her roughly 106 in human terms. She had a good life and a long one. There was no question who the alpha cat was when she was in the house. She was low-maintenance in a cat sort of way, visiting us and climbing on Becky's lap as she grew older. Her coat and eyes were bright right up until the very end.
Up until the end she loved to lie in the sun in the back yard, even on the hottest days.
lebrates the wonder of life. Maybe it was a reminder that life goes on in spite of loss.
All things bright and beautiful
The Wonders of the Cardboard Box
So can cardboard. The humble box made of layers of paper might not be much to look at, but try to imagine the world without it. I wouldn't want to.

Sometimes, I have a really hard time choosing colors. I tend to be very monochromatic. However, when someone says, "here, use this color combo," I feel more at ease with branching out and using something different. Today's post is about the Color Challenge we were given. This color combo is WAY out of my comfort zone and I really didn't think the pink in the card would work with my vision. I wanted to make a masculine card. Below, you will find a copy of the image they shared with us. I interpreted the colors as Early Espresso, Crumb cake (because they are YUMMY together), Pool Party, and Lemon Lime Twist. There's another green in there… but I just couldn't add that in… LOL
So why motorcycles? Well, they are a mode of transportation right? And you need a mode of transportation to travel…. no that's not right. For the 4th of July weekend, my family went camping and we brought our ATVs and motorcyles with us! It was a blast! We came away with only minor scrapes and bruises to boot. LOL. I threw in a picture below. Where we stayed was sooooo green and so beautiful! I can't wait to go back!! You can see the motorcycles on the trailer, the cabin we stayed in and oh yeah, that handsome man in the photo is my eldest son!

We've recently released a paper discussing the ability to hide data in
hard-drive service areas.
The paper is available for download at:
The introduction section is pasted below:
In this paper we will demonstrate how spinning hard-drives\u2019 service areas
can be used to hide data from the operating-system (or any software using the
standard OS\u2019s API or the standard ATA commands to access the hard-drive).
These reserved areas are used by hard-drive vendors to store modules that in
turn operate the drive, and in a sense, together with the ROM, serve as the
hard-drive\u2019s internal storage and OS. By sending Vendor Specific Commands
(VSCs) directly to the hard-drive, one can manipulate these areas to read
and write data that are otherwise inaccessible. This should not be confused
with DCO or HPA which can be easily detected, removed and accessed via
standard ATA commands.

Events are held once a month on the last Friday of each month, except for May, November and December (or whenever there is a Holiday conflict) when they re-schedule so that their events are held the Friday before the Holiday. Their coffeehouse, now in its 10th year, is open from October through May from 7:30 til 10:00 pm. The summer concert series is held June through September from 7:00 til 9:00 pm.
Since this is a ministry and not a club or profit-making business entity, they impose no cover charge but do take up a free-will offering for the artists and permit them to solicit and sell any merchandise they have as well as promote their up-coming shows. If lodging is needed, it may be possible to arrange for artists to stay with a host family or book accommodations at an affiliate bed and breakfast at a discounted rate. The B & B can also provide transportation to and from their local airport, bus terminal, or train station at a reasonable cost. A meal can be arranged, if discussed ahead of time, and the artists are always welcome to join them afterward at a local diner for their traditional afterglow fellowship.
Though they want their attendee's to be entertained in a professional, family-friendly, wholesome manner, The Souled Out Coffeehouse and Summer Concert Series is a ministry designed to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All Artists/Bands must be completely Christ-Centered and sing/play music and lyrics which exemplifies this, leads others to Christ as well as glorifies God.

Additionally, for their Summer Concert Series they will also consider limited amounts of: Holy Hip-hop, Rap, and Hard Rock (including Metal, but nothing containing primal screams)
They provide a complete sound system AND experienced engineer which includes House Speakers, 4 Monitor Speakers, 4 direct boxes, 4 vocal mics (EV ND757s), 2 instrument mics (I Shure SM57 and 1 AT condenser), 16 channels of analog sound capacity with reverb and a total of 1300 watts of power (more than enough to fill the room they are in). They also provide very basic stage lighting at this time and encourage bands/artists who own their own lighting to bring them along.
Note: Artists/Bands MUST use their in-house sound equipment and engineer unless discussed and arranged beforehand. No exceptions! Thanks for your cooperation. They look forward to serving you.

Mad Men Fever – the Sixties Hair Styles are Back
The series is a hit, and the hair styles of the Mad Men ladies are also very hot. We show you step by step how to style three of the star looks. It is quite simple. We also let you in on the most beautiful and inspiring catwalk hair styles
The great fashion houses present exaggerated beehive styles, voluminous hair in the back of the head and very straight cut bangs. Obviously, the designers have all taken their inspiration for the spring and summer 2011 styles from the same hot TV series 'Mad Men'. The glamorous sixties look may appear to be a veritable challenge, but the hair styles can be created far easier than most women think. Thanks to new technologies, we are now able to rely on curling irons, flat irons and heated rollers for the gently treatment and styling of our hair.
The secret behind the sixties hair styles is volume – a lot of volume
The secret behind creating authentic 'mad manes' is volume. 'Mad mane' is indeed the official and very appropriate name for the hair styles worn by Betty, Joan and Peggy. It does not matter whether you have set your heart on having a ponytail, a sixties updo or an undulating bob, the aptly named hair style needs volume and therefore some preparation.
Prepare your hair by allowing it to air-dry after a shampoo. The hair should be no more than slightly damp. Apply a small amount of volumising mousse or fluid to your hair before rolling it up on round brushes or heated rollers. Allow the rolled up hair to dry completely. Now you are ready for the styling.
Tip: Use pomade, wax and plenty of hair spray when you style your new hairdo. For apparent reasons this was done in the swinging sixties as well
The Sixties Style on the Catwalk – Designer watch the Mad Men series as well!
The distinctively cut bangs end high above the eyebrows and the lower part of the hair shows a lot of volume. Here, Dior makes use of no less than two sixties trends
Chanel's models look casual on the catwalks and wear teased big hair
Elena Miro, the designer for plus-sized fashion, knows how well the sixties hairdos go with hair accessories like this wide bandana
Moschino believes that the Capri style will be a winner. The knot high atop the head (a hair piece is mandatory) looks more striking with the dotted bandana
Oscar de la Renta used to dress Jackie Kennedy and is certainly familiar with the sixties. The above dress and the elegant chignon are ample evidence of this fact
Paul Costelloe shows a playful version of the classic sixties updo
Vera Wang has done it again: This big bob hair style certainly does not look boring!

Tillerson Says Hariri 'Strong Partner', Warns against Using Lebanon for 'Proxy Conflicts'إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned other countries Friday against using Lebanon for "proxy conflicts" following a crisis triggered by Prime Minister Saad Hariri's resignation.
Tillerson also described Hariri, who announced his resignation November 4 from Saudi Arabia, as a "strong partner" of the United States.
"The United States cautions against any party, within or outside Lebanon, using Lebanon as a venue for proxy conflicts or in any manner contributing to instability in that country," Tillerson said in a statement.
Hariri's resignation came as a shock. He accused Iran-backed Hizbullah of controlling Lebanon.
Many observers saw his stepping down as being directed by Saudi Arabia, Iran's big rival in the region.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday accused Saudi Arabia of "detaining" Hariri and of asking Israel to launch strikes on Lebanon.
Earlier Friday, while traveling in Asia, Tillerson told reporters he had received assurances from the Saudis that Hariri himself had decided to resign.
Tillerson also said he had no indication that Hariri was being held against his will in the oil-rich kingdom.
In a message that seemed aimed mainly at Iran and Hizbullah, Tillerson's statement said: "There is no legitimate place or role in Lebanon for any foreign forces, militias or armed elements other than the legitimate security forces of the Lebanese state -- which must be recognized as the sole authority for security in Lebanon."
Hariri's situation was not completely clear. But calls mounted, including from his Lebanese political rivals, for Saudi Arabia to guarantee the prime minister's freedom of movement.
Hariri's resignation coincided with a sweeping purge among the Saudi kingdom's elite, ostensibly over embezzlement accusations.
Hariri, who was born in Saudi Arabia, did not say when he would return to Lebanon, where President Michel Aoun has yet to formally accept his resignation.
"The United States cautions against any party, within or outside Lebanon, using Lebanon as a venue for proxy conflicts or in any manner contributing to instability in that country," Tillerson said in a statement."
but USA is supporting the instability of Lebanon...Trump must finished the work of Obama to promoted the final extremination of the Cristhians in the "Great" Lebanon...the mission of USA in the Planeth Earth is extreminated the roots of Cristhianity...and nothing that finished the work to comemorated the 100 aniversary of the State of Israel...
tric... don't they have a Portuguese forum or something...personally... I don't have the energy to decipher your jibrish anymore... on another hand... you are quite entertaining so... hmm... that'a ... "tricky" one...
no, my friend, i´m quite scared about the knife that the Saudis put in the Head of the Cristhians in Lebanon after what is happening to the Cristhians in Levant...the same modus operandi that the Daesh...
Why do you pretend to care for Christians?

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a nomination for TheCramm award by my friend T.R. Noble, of the Inside Cup blog. Yay! These blogging awards can be fun. I love seeing how it connects the blogging community together.
TheCramm award is somewhat mysterious as to its origins. But so far we've all agreed it was created by Liv, of TheCramm. Interesting site but not positive as to its exact connection to the award. Apparently no one knows (as far as I can see anyway). Ah well. Moving on.
The rules for the award are to answer the questions:
-3 things that motivate you to blog.
-3 people that motivate you to blog
-1 thing to improve the world
-Then you finish by answering the question of the blogger who nominated you, nominating a few other fellow bloggers (if you wish) and asking them a question of your own.
Here are my answers.
Three things that motivate me to blog
- Motherhood, in a way, motivates me. Chatting about parenting, concerns that we all share as mothers…I will never run out of material to work with haha.
- Self-motivation. I began this blog in 2014 as a means to see what would happen if I jumped in and started blogging. So in a way this blog is a promise to myself. Sticking to a task isn't super easy for me so blogging here helps keep me patient, consistent and on task.
- Chocolate. Chocolate motivates me to blog. I'm currently hooked on the bars of 70% dark chocolate from Aldi.
Three people that motivate me to blog
- The ladies from my church who have encouraged me from my early blog days and continue to do so. There have been times when I've grown discouraged but I'm thankful for them!
- My good friend T.R. from Inside Cup! She has also been so encouraging 🙂 In life there are always trials, even when it comes to blogging and I'm thankful for her support and encouragement (here on the blog and in person too!)
- God. This post, this blog, my life would not be complete without Him. He gives me words to say. Light to shine. Love to give even though I don't deserve it.
One thing to improve the world?
Responsible trash disposal. Pretty much the first thing that popped into my head. I'm not the type to scold people in public. Littering is just a minor irritation I have. Go green and make the world a better place for everyone by taking care of your trash. Even just putting an empty gum wrapper into your pocket is something.
T.R.'s question was:
"What was a time in your life in which something happened, and you wish it would have went better than it did? Would you change this moment now if you had the chance?"
There are a lot. A lot of things come to mind here. One major occurance goes like this. I was young, 19. I had graduated from high school, worked for a year. When it came time to choose a college, I went with the closest Christian University. I did not pray enough. I did not think to ponder or to seek what God wanted. And I found out in so many ways that that college was not a good fit. Oh so not. I came home, defeated, broken. But God, when I finally opened my heart to Him, helped me up. And you know, right about that time my future husband and I started dating.
So would I do it over? I don't know. That's a hard question. I guess my answer right now would be "no". Because who's to say if I would have ended up happily married, as I am today? I treasure that blessing and to have it taken away even if it meant sparing myself temporary disappointment and difficulty? No. I do not want that. Thank-you Lord, for turning difficult moments into things of beauty❤
My nominations for The Cramm award I'm leaving open. See this post and want to accept the award? Go for it! If you do, here is my question:
If you had to pick a day in your life to live over again, exactly as it was, which would you pick?

So, it's July. Saturday marks the unofficial half way point of Summer and it's all down hill from there! So far, we've had a pretty good summer. We've camped twice and had a great time each time. The weather's been pretty nice - we didn't put the A/C units in until Father's Day weekend and have only run them a few days total. The kids have spent time with Papa and Nana, attending VBS, played TBall, and more. We've gotten in a little school work but I'm not worried about doing that daily - I tend to save it for rainy days. I've worked on organizing some things and cleaning out a few things upstairs.
Over the past couple of months, I've had a goal in my head to make July "Basement Month". So over the past few days, I've cleaned like crazy upstairs, organized toys, cleaned floors, finished up the file clean out and more. All in preparation of focusing on the basement.
This is not an quick and dirty clean up - this is a "Empty it, Clean it out, Get Rid of it, Sell, it organize it" type of clean up. Here's the plan:
1) Every single item will be moved to the garage. I will be setting up a work table in the garage where I can sort things. This will happen over the month. I'll move a couple of bins up at a time, sort them, and deal with the stuff.
2) Every single item will be touched once (kinda). As I go through every bin, box and shelf I want to touch things once. By this I mean, it will go in one of four places A) The Truck to be donated to Good Will. B) The garbage C) The Sell Pile D) Keep it. So obviously "A" and "B" are easy to only touch once. As far as the "sell" pile - I'll either be listing the items on our local garage sale site or taking them to "Once upon a Child " Anything that doesn't sell would go right to Good Will. Finally, the keep it pile - some things will go right into a bin while other things will need to wait for a bin to empty so I might have to touch those items twice.
3) Once every item is sorted and cleaned out, I will go to work on cleaning the basement. All the corners, windows, and cobwebs will be taken care off. I plan on sealing some areas of the floor where the paint has chipped. (Sealing it with poly helps to eliminate the "damp" smell you get in a Michigan basement). I also want to add some simple curtains to the basement windows for the sake of privacy.
4) The Playroom - this gets it's own line item HA! Once the main area is finished, I'll tackle the basement play area with the same concept. There are shelves to clean off, toys to clean out, a rug to get rid of, and rubber squares to lay on the floor so the boys can play in comfort.
5) The Laundry Room - this area just needs to be cleaned. I also have school stuff to clean out and schools books to sell that we are done with or won't end up using for various reasons.
Once this is done, I'm making a few changes to my old system that wasn't working. First, nothing will be carried to the basement to be sorted. Instead the Good Will donation box will be in the garage. When I clean stuff out, everything will go to the garage. The only way an item goes to the basement is if it already has a home (bin, shelf, ect) to "live".
About every 2 years I have to go through everything in the basement and this is the year. My goal is to set up a system this time around that KEEPS me from doing this again! I might be more than a little motivated by the fact that I just wanted my brother move HA! I don't want to have stuff anymore that isn't loved, used and needed!

Testing is an important part of developing software. In this lesson we'll look at how to test our Elixir code with ExUnit and some best practices for doing so.
Table of Contents
Elixir's built-in test framework is ExUnit and it includes everything we need to thoroughly test our code.
Before moving on it is important to note that tests are implemented as Elixir scripts so we need to use the
.exs file extension.
Before we can run our tests we need to start ExUnit with
ExUnit.start(), this is most commonly done in
When we generated our example project in the previous lesson, mix was helpful enough to create a simple test for us, we can find it at
defmodule ExampleTest do
use ExUnit.Case
doctest Example
test "greets the world" do
assert Example.hello() == :world
We can run our project's tests with
mix test.
If we do that now we should see an output similar to:
Finished in 0.03 seconds
2 tests, 0 failures
Why are there two dots in the test output? Besides the test in
test/example_test.exs, Mix also generated a doctest in
defmodule Example do
@moduledoc """
Documentation for Example.
@doc """
Hello world.
## Examples
iex> Example.hello
def hello do
If you've written tests before then you're familiar with
assert; in some frameworks
should or
expect fill the role of
We use the
assert macro to test that the expression is true.
In the event that it is not, an error will be raised and our tests will fail.
To test a failure let's change our sample and then run
mix test:
defmodule ExampleTest do
use ExUnit.Case
doctest Example
test "greets the world" do
assert Example.hello() == :word
Now we should see a different kind of output:
1) test greets the world (ExampleTest)
Assertion with == failed
code: assert Example.hello() == :word
left: :world
right: :word
test/example_test.exs:6 (test)
Finished in 0.03 seconds
2 tests, 1 failures
ExUnit will tell us exactly where our failed assertions are, what the expected value was, and what the actual value was.
refute is to
assert as
unless is to
refute when you want to ensure a statement is always false.
Sometimes it may be necessary to assert that an error has been raised.
We can do this with
We'll see an example of
assert_raise in the next lesson on Plug.
In Elixir, applications consist of actors/processes that send messages to each other, therefore you will want to test the messages being sent.
Since ExUnit runs in its own process it can receive messages just like any other process and you can assert on it with the
assert_received macro:
defmodule SendingProcess do
def run(pid) do
send(pid, :ping)
defmodule TestReceive do
use ExUnit.Case
test "receives ping" do
assert_received :ping
assert_received does not wait for messages, with
assert_receive you can specify a timeout.
capture_io and capture_log
Capturing an application's output is possible with
ExUnit.CaptureIO without changing the original application.
Simply pass the function generating the output in:
defmodule OutputTest do
use ExUnit.Case
import ExUnit.CaptureIO
test "outputs Hello World" do
assert capture_io(fn -> IO.puts("Hello World") end) == "Hello World\n"
ExUnit.CaptureLog is the equivalent for capturing output to
Test Setup
In some instances it may be necessary to perform setup before our tests.
To accomplish this we can use the
setup and
setup_all macros.
setup will be run before each test and
setup_all once before the suite.
It is expected that they will return a tuple of
{:ok, state}, the state will be available to our tests.
For the sake of example, we'll change our code to use
defmodule ExampleTest do
use ExUnit.Case
doctest Example
setup_all do
{:ok, recipient: :world}
test "greets", state do
assert Example.hello() == state[:recipient]
The simple answer to mocking in Elixir is: don't. You may instinctively reach for mocks but they are highly discouraged in the Elixir community and for good reason.
For a longer discussion there is this excellent article. The gist is, that instead of mocking away dependencies for testing (mock as a verb), it has many advantages to explicitly define interfaces (behaviors) for code outside your application and using Mock (as a noun) implementations in your client code for testing.
To switch the implementations in your application code, the preferred way is to pass the module as arguments and use a default value. If that does not work, use the built-in configuration mechanism. For creating these mock implementations, you don't need a special mocking library, only behaviours and callbacks.

So anyone who knows me also knows that I've always had a special disgust towards Apple's products, especially their desktop operating system. And while it began as a hate that didn't specifically have much of a reason behind it, over the past year and a half I've had to use an iMac for one of my school subjects, VET: Multimedia. Sure, I may be biased towards Windows, but I have no complaints about Linux Mint, which I've willingly installed on my netbook, and am using it to type up this post, as well as yesterday's.
And guess what? Using the iMac at school has, over time, given me more and more reason to have such negative thoughts towards the operating system. There hasn't been a single VET Multimedia lesson, and anyone in that class can tell you, where I haven't yelled at the screen or facepalmed repeatedly in frustration.
I'm not going to talk about restrictions that were obviously put in place by the school administrators, because even using Windows 7 at school is a limited experience. But a number of minor annoyances have merged into a stronger, and very logical annoyance.
First and foremost, is the limited capability to 'maximise' a window. The majority of classes we're either using Microsoft Office Word and PowerPoint, Safari, Adobe Illustrator, Flash and Photoshop. Many of these programs work best in fullscreen, especially on the screen size of the iMacs we have at school (yes, they're quite big).
Every time I use a Mac, I have to manually resize each window fullscreen. Simple as that. And if it's because of some hidden setting I can't access, then that's not my problem, because it should be obvious.
This leads me to my next point, and that is the horrible combination of the dock and the Alt-Tab menu (more specifically, window management). When I minimise a window, pressing Alt+Tab should allow me to bring that window back into view. But it doesn't. Instead, it goes back to the program (or I should say, puts the program's menu up on screen), but leaves me with that. It gets even worse when running multiple windows of Safari. Sometimes they literally get lost in the dock, or just hidden behind another window, because cycling using Alt+Tab selects the application and not the window.
Next, a minor annoyance, but one that drives me insane. The bouncing animation on dock icons. When an icon bounces in the dock, it reminds me of an annoying 6-year-old (not to say all 6 year olds are annoying, or that kids are annoying) repeatedly trying to get into your face to get your attention. Here's a hint: that's the wrong way to get someone's attention. The icons in the Mac OS dock bounce continuously, while in Windows, when an item in the taskbar wants your attention, blinks 4-5 times then simply sits there patiently in a bright colour. Enough to get your attention calmly, and not "yell at you," as it were.
Next an annoyance that drives me insane, the right click menu. Now, I suppose this could be associated with the mouse settings, although those are unsurprisingly very limited in terms of customzation. When I open a context menu, I expect quick access to the menu item. Instead, and this is most prominent in nestled menus, is that selecting an item is buggy as heck. If you want to go deeper in a menu, be VERY careful not to click on the arrow, because instead of navigating deeper as it should, IT CLOSES THE DAMN MENU. In what world does that make ANY sense. One selects it to speed up the process, not make it x2 slower.
As a final note, I'm going to say this (because writing this post is starting to make me extremely annoyed). An installation wizard makes 300% more sense than drag-and-drop, because a wizard tells you what's going on. Drag and drop is extremely meaningless, and is degrading, to say the least.
That's all from me. Probably won't see any more blog posts from me any time soon, I should really go write a couple essays for school..
thanks for reading my rant, it shows real dedication towards either your operating system of choice (more likely) or.. well, me.

My sister took Mom in for her Neulasta shot today. Neulasta is a prescription medication that boost the white blood cells. This helps your body produce more white blood cells to reduce your risk of infection. This Shot is given in the fat of the arm or stomach. Mom gets hers in her stomach. She is given this shot the day after each chemo treatment. This is an expensive shot. The cost is approximately $2,200.00 each. Mom's insurance pays all but about $625.00. She has a prescription for Emend, this is an anti-nausea medication. There are three pills and the cost is $500.00 at one pharmacy and $300.00 at another. We have shopped around for the best deals on her prescriptions. Her insurance covers all but $29.95 of that.
I now understand why so many people without health insurance dies of cancer, they can not afford the cost of treatment.

We're at a point with our economy that most sports are starting to rely on fundraising, and football is certainly no exception. Football is an expensive sport to get into, but it's also integral to our school traditions, so it is important to use football fundraiser ideas to help the players get everything they need in terms of equipment, uniforms, and other necessities. The football players are likely to form the bulk of your sales team, and since they will be a huge part of the football fundraiser, you'll want to keep them firmly in mind while you're looking at football fundraiser ideas to help them.
Appropriate football fundraiser ideas for your team could be anything from scratch cards to chocolate, or even catalogue fundraisers like our Go Green fundraiser. There's just no limit to what sorts of football fundraising ideas are out there. If you look through our football fundraiser ideas pages, you can start to get a feel for which types of fundraiser ideas will work well with your group. If you have a small sales team, stick to football fundraising ideas that have low minimums and high profit percentages. Larger groups can choose some of the football fundraiser ideas with higher minimums, but of course the organization involved can be greater. Either way, just choose wisely based on what kind of group you have, and your football fundraiser ideas are sure to be a hit.

First, it was Sports Illustrated taking the unprecedented step of going with three covers for its annual Swimsuit Edition. Now comes the news that from some 600 applicants, The New York Times has selected a trio of inaugural David Carr Fellows.Set to spend two years in The New York Times newsroom starting March 15 are The Awl's John Herrman, Slate's Amanda Hess and Deadspin's Greg Howard. Herrman will cover media and business; Hess will write about culture; and Howard will contribute to The New York Times Magazine and other desks. From today's announcement: "We found these three candidates so compelling that we decided to select all of them," said Dean Baquet, executive editor, The New York Times. "They are thoughtful, deep reporters. We will learn as much from them as they will from us." Added Jill Rooney Carr, Mr. Carr's widow. "In the spirit of David's curiosity, his ability to see around the corner, and his preference to show rather than tell – I can say with certainty that he would have made these choices himself. On behalf of the Carr family, we congratulate Amanda, Greg and John and can't wait to see their work on the written page, on the screen or in a nascent medium that's yet to be explained." In today's New York Times press release, there are also brief excerpts from each of the three chosen candidates' Fellowship applications. Congratulations to Herrman, Hess and Howard (yes, three "H's", too!) on landing one of the best new beats in newspaper journalism.
