It's been a busy 6 weeks. A little step away from Christmas and straight into the chase that is the London Mural Preservation Society. The first thing we have been working on is organising our February event – the celebration of 30 years of the Nuclear Dawn Mural. We had secured speaker and venue back in November but it's all the tiny details to sort out such as projector, sound, numbers, promotions and so on and so forth. And then there are 'new and exciting ideas which will make this an even more exciting event than it is!'. These are the brain waves of the 'L_MPS'ers pulsating out creative visions to make the birthday even more thrilling. Let me just say it will be an afternoon well spent.
So that's 20th February 2011 at 12:30 at the Dogstar, Coldharbour Lane, Brixton.
Just in case any of you forgot.
And on that note, finally we have got around to making public the pics from the Brixton Mural walk back in September. Yes , it has been awhile and we hang our head in shame that we did not get around to making this a priority.
So without further ado, here they are:
Brixton Mural Walk September 2010
And the last thing to mention is our outing to the BBC Radio London Robert Elms' Show. That was exciting – we didn't expect the interest in what we are doing so soon! But remember guys and girls who are following our mural hunt, this mural spotting society is unique in London – no-one else is covering it!
I was the person who went to speak on the programme. I know the subject area pretty well but apart from the walks, I'm not someone who regularly does public speaking. I got to the studio and was shown to a reception area and then left on my own. I could see the show being recorded and a big clock reminding me it was my moment soon! My heart was pounding louder than the show and I had to remind myself I was just going to have a chat. I was ushered into a room whilst the music still played. Mister Elms had a quick natter to put me at ease and then we were live on air to about 60,000 people!
It generally wasn't too hard. I tried to do less of the 'ums' , 'ahs' and 'basically' ( a word I use far too frequently!). And didn't get too flustered. Time dragged slowly and then I was whooshed out of the room, with a passing 'thank you' to Robert and I was off back to my office job.
The phones beeped as people texted me to say well done. What I find most interesting is what people remembered – 'Mural geek' and 'Where's wally? ' ( a game to spot the saxaphone in the mural). My friend said I mentioned Bootle – a town she had been living in- and my mum said I had commented that it was her who took us past the Scary Nuclear Dawn mural.
All in all, it was a good experience. More people looked at the website and have heard about what we do. The show had an enthusiastic response from it's phone-in. And that also means that we got a few more bits of information about the murals in London. Job well done!

You may feel like it's nearly impossible to learn anything about HVAC. If you are willing to read the following article, it should assist you in understanding the product better. This advice should help you with all of the novice when it comes to simple repairs on your HVAC system.
Know the name and type of system you currently have before looking for a repair person. This helps make sure the contractor will need.
Hvac Contractor
Know what work you need before you select an HVAC contractor.It will be hard for an HVAC contractor to provide you with an estimate over the phone if they have not seen your current setup is. It will be more hard if you over the phone without the information readily available.
Clean any debris on an external condenser unit. You don't know when things are going to pile up, like right after it's windy or rains, and that can throw a wrench in your system. It can cause a disaster with your unit.
Turn the power off first so you don't get hurt or break something. Then, take the grill off, pull the blades out, and begin cleaning the unit and them gently.
Don't let grass clippings on your outdoor condenser.Aim your grass in a different direction from the unit. This also applies to leaf blowing and any other yard work that results in the yard.
Your outdoor HVAC system could suffer when trees begin dropping their leaves. Make sure the fan's grill is cleaned often once nearby trees start shedding their leaves. The fan must not have anything in the way so that air can flow into it, and if it becomes blocked, you will have to contend with problems.
Sae 20 Oil
Lubricate your condenser once a year. These are usually covered with rubber or metal cap. Use SAE 20 oil that is non-detergent and lightweight, detergent-free SAE 20 oil, putting 10 drops in each port.
Put your outdoor unit in the shade if you are installing them.
Turn off outdoor condenser units when the weather gets cold. This means that you should turn it off to prevent damage if the temperature drops below 60ºF to avoid damage. This can ensure your system remain in good working well throughout the years without the cost of repairs.
Research and check the companies before hiring them. Check them out at the best one for reviews posted by former customers. These simple steps are going to help to ensure your decision is a better decision.
If you have an interest in HVAC, that information should have been quite valuable. If you use these tips, things will go smoothly. You'll end up saving money and stopping headaches.

As part of October's horror spotlight, we wanted to shine a light on the women making films today whom you may or may not have heard about. There are so many amazing women behind the scenes who create horror feature films, shorts, and web series. It's a relatively small-ish circle that's growing larger with the advent of social media, niche genre festivals, all-women film panels, and networking events.
If you attend these festivals and events, you may have met some of them; perhaps you're already a fan of their work. At any rate, the strength of the work — as well as their personalities and online presences in most cases — makes the women named here undeniable movers and shakers in the world of genre film. Again, as always, this isn't a definitive list. I wish I could have included everyone, but it's simply not possible. You'll also see that most of these directors work in more than one genre; however, their work in horror is excellent.
Jovanka Vuckovic
This Amazonian is a force to be reckoned with; known for her outspoken ways and unflinching honesty, Vuckovic is someone you can literally look up to. The tattoo shop co-owner and former Rue Morgue editor-in-chief Vuckovic is currently on set directing her first feature, Riot Girls, a violent post-apocalyptic tale — with elements of self-discovery, betrayal, and gruesome justice — in which adults have died off and resources are scarce.
Previously, Vuckovic directed a segment in the all-female horror anthology XX — the chilling adaptation of The Box by Jack Ketchum. Prior to that, she directed a handful of short films, including The Guest, Self-Portrait, and the widely celebrated The Captured Bird, which was executive produced by none other than horror-fantasy hero and advocate Guillermo del Toro.
I, for one, hope that we still get to see Vuckovic's previously announced adaptation of Clive Barker's Jacqueline Ess (Lena Headey was set to star!!) in addition to her own thriller All My Heroes Are Dead.
Rose McGowan
You'll see that the incredibly vocal former actress McGowan is currently waging war against sexual assault and harassment in Hollywood — for good reason. If you haven't possibly heard by now, she's the survivor of rape at the hands of Harvey Weinstein.
Now an activist, photographer, and filmmaker, McGowan is using her celebrity to speak out against criminals to great effect. It's been rare that someone puts her own livelihood on the line to come forth with allegations in Hollywood, but McGowan is as fierce as they come — a warrior, in fact, and God help anyone who gets in her way. Due to her public callouts, a great many number of people have also stepped forward to say, "yes, this happened to me, too."
I was excited to hear that she had an Amazon project in the works, but apparently, that was quashed. The Los Angeles Times wrote a piece on it here. We're going to be missing out on something good, no doubt — McGowan's Sundance short film Dawn is an excellent mediation of what it means to be a "good girl." That is, to not speak up, be polite, don't offend — at the perils of your own life. Dawn is impeccably directed and shot. I'm saddened that we haven't seen more films from McGowan, and I hope that changes.
Want to see Dawn? McGowan put it up on YouTube to watch for free; you can check it out here.
Jennifer Lynch
Hell. Yes. This is a case where the apple doesn't fall far from the tree where talent is concerned. One of the children of he-who-needs-no-introduction David Lynch, she's a wickedly talented director herself. Having helmed Boxing Helena in her early 20s, Lynch took time off to raise her own daughter before delving back into the directing pool, but when she did, she came back with a vengeance with Surveillance, the psycho-sexual thriller centered on a pair of FBI agents (Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond) tracking a serial killer.
If you want a masterclass in creating a palpable sense of dread and suspense mainly within one location, you need to watch Lynch's Chained. Vincent D'Onofrio stars as — yes, another serial killer — who forces one of his captives to follow in his footsteps as a kind of twisted heir.
In between features, Lynch has been keeping quite busy as a television director, known for tense episodes of The Walking Dead and American Horror Story, as well as Quantico, Finding Carter, Teen Wolf, Psych, and much more. I'm happy that Lynch has achieved a great career, but she should be far more well-known than she is. Here's hoping!
Axelle Carolyn
Belgian native Carolyn began her career as an actress and film journalist, but she's since moved on to behind-the-camera work as a publicist, producer, and director. Her award-winning book on horror films It Lives Again! Horror Movies in the New Millennium was published in 2008. As a fiction author, she's written several short stories for anthologies, such as Dark Delicacies III and The Mammoth Book of Body Horror.
Carolyn's great feature debut Soulmate recalled the gothic atmospheres of Hammer Horror and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir with modern updates. Soulmate took on themes suicide — including one graphic scene that was heavily censored in the U.K. — as well as obsessive love. The film was also written by Carolyn and starred Anna Walton (Hellboy II, The Seasoning House) as a woman on edge who convalesces from her suicide attempt in a remote Welsh home. However, she's not alone, soon joined by a gentleman ghost played by Tom Wisdom (300, Hannibal) who soon develops an unhealthy attachment to her.
Most recently, Carolyn created and co-produced the fun horror anthology Tales of Halloween, a love letter to every horror fan's favorite holiday. In addition to segments from Neil Marshall, Adam Gierasch, Mike Mendez, Dave Parker, Paul Solet, Lucky McGee, Ryan Schifrin, and John Skipp and Andrew Kasch, Carolyn also wrote and directed the segment "Grim Grinning Ghost," which starred Alex Essoe (Starry Eyes, Fashionista) with cameos from Mick Garris, Barbara Crampton, Stuart Gordon, Lin Shaye, and Lisa Marie.
I've heard that Caryoln is currently developing several feature films and a television series, and I look forward to seeing them.
Jen & Sylvia Soska
The Soska sisters have been working full-throttle for years in one way or another. Their micro-budget feature Dead Hooker in a Trunk caught the eyes of festival-goers and it wasn't long until they released the modern cult classic American Mary. This terrific feature is a damning examination of rape culture as well as a brutal tale of vengeance. Katherine Isabelle (Hannibal, Ginger Snaps) plays Mary, a medical student who's drugged and raped by one of her instructors at a party. She dismantles him piece by piece and practices surgeries of her own on him as she also gets deeper into organized crime — as a black market surgeon of sorts.
From there, the twins went on to host the spooky game show Hellevator and direct Vendetta, See No Evil 2, and a segment for ABCs of Death 2 ("T is for Torture Porn") among several shorts. The Soskas have also been involved with several comics, including a story for Marvel's Night Nurse character. Their popular yearly Massive Blood Drive PSA series for Women in Horror Month promotes blood donation while also spotlighting indie filmmakers.
The Soskas' talents and outspoken opinions on everything from equal rights for all, to the topic of women in film, to sharing and promoting the documentary An Open Secret make them both fan favorites and champions of justice. They're currently remaking David Cronenberg's 1977 infection flick Rabid.
Karyn Kusama
Kusama is a far quieter presence online and in social media, but when she wants to talk, she does so without compromising her beliefs in interviews. Whether it's how she "broke out of movie jail" between features or navigating the Hollywood boy's club, she's not afraid to speak her mind. Read an interview with her, and you'll see that her words are just as assured as her films are directed.
Kusama attracts like-minded, strong women; her first feature was the powerful, Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning Girlfight, starring the ultra-tough Michelle Rodriguez. She directed the live-action adaptation of Aeon Flux, starring Charlize Theron and Jennifer's Body, which, while marketed incorrectly, was a surprising treatise on the darker side of female friendship, with Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried.
Like Vuckovic, Kusama also directed a segment in the all-female horror anthology XX — "Her Only Living Son," an excellent speculation on the plight of Rosemary and her baby which takes place about 18 years later after the Polanski film.
Her most recent finished film is The Invitation. Like Lynch's Chained — you basically get a film school in itself — particularly if you want to study suspense in nearly one location. With a strong ensemble cast, The Invitation is a dark thriller that delves into the aftermath of a couple (now broken up and moved on) that lost a child. However, throw a deadly dinner party and a dangerous cult into the mix, and you have a truly chilling ending.
Kusama has been enjoying success as a television director for several shows, such as Billions and The Man in the High Castle. Currently, she is at the helm of Destroyer, starring Nicole Kidman, slated for a 2018 release.

Chapter 27: Unrivaled Beneath the Heavens (1)
"The last prize was Fortuity Profound Elixir. The one before it was a high-grade magik artifact."
Xu Yangyi's expression finally became serious.
Fortuity Profound Elixir didn't have any other efficacies. It was dark-green like water, hazy like smoke and fog, and could be injected into the vein via syringe… Perhaps great Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators would remain unmoved, but to initial-stage and middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivators, it was enough to go wild for!
It also had another name… known as Spirit Cleansing Elixir.
The elixir didn't have any other effect. It only had one and that was to thoroughly wash away a cultivator's flesh of impurities. It was a genuine "shedding of the mortal body and change of bones"! It could transform one's constitution into one most suitable for cultivating!
Cultivation's development to the present had proved long ago that qi was like the root of power and the body was a machine. If a comparison had to be made, wasn't it similar to the movement that MMORPGs brought to computers during the year 2000?
Xu Yangyi was tempted, however the root of his temptation wasn't because he could shed his body and make his bones anew, cleanse his meridians and rake his marrow. Instead… it was because of his qi sea!
His qi sea was in the middle of slowly expanding at a rate invisible to the naked eye. This matter was related to the small mysterious box that he was unable to discuss with anyone under any circumstance. If the Fortuity Profound Elixir was capable of resolving this problem, then things couldn't be better!
In nearly a flash, he made his decision. If he'd heard about the Qualifier before, then he would've still been indifferent to it, but at this moment he resolved himself to put all of his strength into winning!
At long last, the lion had decided to tear away its sheepskin disguise. Even if it wasn't the Fortuity Profound Elixir but some other prize, there was no question that it would be another prize on the same level!
"There's not a single person who isn't looking forward to a true arcane effort… right? Yuyang City's champion?" Chu Zhaonan said and looked at Xu Yangyi's expression.
"Contestants are divided into 369 ranks, but only the truly most powerful is capable of seizing a Core Formation master's prize!" Chu Zhaonan straightened his figure and his entire bodily might erupted outwards like a volcano. He said heavily, word for word, "I, Chu Zhaonan, with the status as Tianfeng City's champion, challenge you!"
Xu Yangyi looked at him calmly and nodded after ages. "I hope you can keep on standing until the end."
"Good…" Chu Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and used his thumb to forcefully slash over his throat, licking his lips. "That really does bring me no end of excitement…"
Their voices were quite low, so low that none of the others could hear them. Xu Yangyi didn't ask Chu Zhaonan why he knew about things that the school wouldn't teach; this was a question that would go without answer.
Zuo Lun didn't let them wait for too long. After their initial astonishment, he fished out a black paper crane from his jacket pocket and flicked it away with his finger. The paper crane flew away with a swagger.
Less than two minutes later, the paper crane flew back. As Zuo Lun received it, his brows suddenly jumped. He immediately took a step back and couldn't help but bow at the waist, watching the paper crane incredulously.
The paper crane wasn't black.
Instead… it was red!
"This… This is…" His distraction lasted for less than a second, and he quickly turned his head back excitedly, his throat moving in glee as he said hoarsely, "Rookies, listen well, you're in luck! There's a Foundation Establishment Senior showing up! This is your goddamn, heaven-sent golden opportunity to rise to the top!"
In this instant, he we unable to stop the heaving of his chest, and his eyes somewhat reddened. After he finished speaking, he couldn't restrain himself from quietly cursing, "Fuck… This luck… How come I didn't hear about a Foundation Establishment senior observing my ceremony when I was graduating?!"
Foundation Establishment Senior!
In a split second, not only them, but almost everyone's eyes held fanaticism as they looked at the red paper crane that could even be said to be cute.
Cautious, Xu Yangyi waited with rapt attention, and Chu Zhaonan was heavy like water. However, the audible sound of rough breathing was a total irregularity coming from a cultivator's body! These three words brought extreme admiration in their hearts!
A century for Foundation Establishment. To these newcomers who had just graduated, Foundation Establishment represented countless riches! A legend that light firearms were almost completely ineffective against! A whole 200 years of life!
In other words, a Foundation Establishment cultivator… was a human-shaped monster!
Superman! Ironman!
These beings had always been figures only found in books. The headmaster of an academy branch was at most only the late stage of Qi Condensation. To these students, Foundation Establishment was a familiar yet strange word. They didn't expect that their graduation ceremony would surprisingly have a Foundation Establishment cultivator in attendance!
If they were picked by one…
If they were received by one as a disciple…
For a moment, no one spoke. There was only the sound of fairly rushed breathing, betraying the state of everyone's minds.
Xu Yangyi quietly clenched his fists. A Foundation Establishment cultivator would be observing the Qualifier… The graduation ceremony's sequence of events hadn't been relayed; this stroke of good fortune had been surprisingly concealed!
"If you're accepted into a Foundation Establishment senior's faction, it can be said that your path of cultivation has already opened up by a half. Seize this chance properly, recruits." Zuo Lun sucked in deeply and waved his hand. The red paper crane flew over to his finger, and a sentence was clearly transmitted into his mind afterwards.
A person per room. Let the assignment be to themselves.
At the same time, inside a gigantic room, a slender hand with a platinum ring on its forefinger gently set down a coffee cup that had been held up to a mouth. A pair of long and narrow eyes calmly swept over a tremendous widescreen.
Altogether, there were ten lattices. On the lower right side were the students' numbers, and on the left side, there was a person in each frame. In front of the display screen, there were about five or six people sitting down. Behind them were ten-odd people standing up.
At the very most center, there was a middle-aged man wearing a tunic suit. He had tiny eyes, long and narrow, and his hair was styled in a short buzz. He wasn't tall or short, and he wore a platinum ring on his right hand. His skin was frighteningly white, as if he was a vampire in broad daylight.
His lanky fingers laid criss-crossed over his chest, and he sunk himself entirely in a cozy, wide chair. In the room, apart from his soft chair that took up no less than half a meter of space, the other chairs were all the size of a small toilet seat.
At his left, there was a youth, twenty-three to twenty-four years of age, sitting down in a western suit, with his back ramrod straight. On his right, there was an old man with a full head and beard of white hair who was wearing a smile on his face.
The room was silent, without fanfare or chatter. The only thing that remained was the faint, inaudible sound of breathing. The middle-aged man closed his eyes, and from time to time the light sound that came from stroking the ring on his finger was heard.
The old man on the right side smiled faintly. "Shadowslay, you still have many years of your life. Do you have a seed you fancy this time? Wouldn't it be better to let this old one pick first?"
Shadowslay didn't respond, slowly caressing his ring. After a while, he glanced at Xu Yangyi's window and said indifferently. "I do."
"The kid that killed that berserker?" Firecloud followed his glance and smiled thinly. "Nothin' but pecking between two spring chickens… but to be able to move the heart of the chief of the southern four provinces, Shadowslay, is also his destined fortune."
"It's just that…" He paused unhurriedly and took a sip of the cup of coffee he was holding. "I am interested in him, as well."
The youth at the side raised his lips.
Shadowslay seemed to be a block of wood, his face without the shred of an expression. He said nothing. The youth behind him who was dressed in a full western suit and wearing gold-rimmed spectacles immediately stepped forward. He bowed respectfully at nearly a right angle and laughed, "Your Excellency Firecloud, His Excellency Shadowslay doesn't have a single disciple…"
Firecloud smiled and nodded, a splendid smile on his plump face. His hand holding his cup of coffee paused, and he laughed willfully. "So it's like that… I understand. Five years a graduation… Our first graduation wait was pretty painful. Our faction is lacking people… Hehe, so it's finally time for blockhead to take on a disciple, huh…"
He seemed to sigh somewhat ruefully. "However…"
"Who allowed you to speak?" His laughter swept over the widescreen display. He didn't even glance at the youth, and pounded his armrest rhythmically with his finger, his smile even worse. "Who gave you the right? A mortal?"
A heavy sound echoed in midair. As if two invisible, gigantic hands collided together in the air, the surrounding air congealed in an instant!
Kaboom… Kaboom… The echoing of heavy sounds ceased. Surprisingly, everything around was slightly trembling!
It was a mystery when but Shadowslay was already looking towards the old man. In kind, the old man smiled and looked at him.
Besides the youth on the left, the surrounding people's complexions were drained to a ghastly pallor. The formless atmosphere between the two men caused their hearts to stop beating. The present scene held a death-like silence.
"P-P-Please forgive my offence…" After a momentary silence, the youth who had spoke was trembling from head to toe, his forehead slick with cold sweat. Without the least bit hesitation, he kneeled, his body trembling like sifting chaff. He yelled hoarsely, "Your Excellency! I beg your forgiveness! I'm sorry! Ten thousand apologies!"
"Scram, you will receive ten lashes. If you do not die, you shall come to serve This Throne again." Shadowslay's voice was somewhat raspy. He looked at the old man and said with a complicated tinge in his voice, "You actually broke through to middle-stage Foundation Establishment?"
"I am no heaven-blessed hero like you. It was merely nothing more than my hard work to make up for my inadequacies." Firecloud restrained his smile and leaned forward. His gaze swept over the number one at the lower left of Xu Yangyi's and Chu Zhaonan's portraits. "I scheduled these two in advance. Besides the paragon of the Qualifier, can you not let them come to me?"
Shadowslay raised a brow.
"Outside of any unexpected mishaps, that young Xu from Nantong Province has a 70% possibility of rising to the top." Firecloud said softly, "I said three people, but I actually only want two. How about it?"
Shadowslay was silent. Several seconds later, he dimly said, "It's not that there are no geniuses in these graduations, but it's hard to meet a fiend like Sunnihilator even once in a century."
"Nevertheless, it must be tried." Firecloud laughed, "I'll allow a small branch of your minerals company in Zhaoxue City. What do you say?"
After three minutes of silence, Shadowslay said faintly, "You may."
"Tch…" At this time, the the constantly silent youth at Shadowslay's side surprisingly smiled. Yet Shadowslay and Firecloud didn't have the least bit intention of interrupting.
"I'm much obliged." Firecloud laughed and cupped his hands towards Shadowslay. He looked at the smiling youth at the side. "Mr. Fang, send my regards to the provincial governor on my behalf. What matter has brought your laughter?"
Fang Tansheng sipped at his coffee leisurely. "How can I dare laugh at the two Seniors? It's just what Lord Firecloud said about this Xu… Xu Yangyi having a 70% chance of becoming the paragon. In my humble opinion, he doesn't even have a 1% chance."
"Oh?" Firecloud's gaze flickered. "It seems there is some inside scoop I am unaware of?"
"It can't be considered an inside scoop. It's been nothing more than a decade. You two Immortal Masters are enthralled with cultivation; it's normal that the both of you aren't as versed regarding the world of ordinary mortals." Fang Tansheng laughed and propped his hand on his chin. He looked complicatedly at the computer screen displaying Chu Zhaonan and smiled. "Immortal Masters, do you remember the strange tale in Mingshui Province's capital, Panshan City, from fifteen years ago, 'The Sunlit 5,000 Mile Journey' of the provincial governor's madam?"

5 Surprising Unstructured Data Trends
January 15, 2019 |ActiveScale|Data Privacy|Object Storage|Unstructured Data
For the last couple of years, Western Digital and 451 Research have taken a snapshot of the industry's data challenges, by collecting the experience and opinions of real IT practitioners. This year we once again reached out to survey IT professionals to learn about current unstructured data trends and challenges, and to gain insight into the modern enterprise.
The results from the 2018 survey of 200 enterprise customers are now available, and there are a few surprises.
Trend 1: Compliance is shaking up the enterprise.
The recent privacy initiatives have forced organizations to change how they think about data. With a strict new set of rules around data sovereignty and private information, the impacts on data management have been far reaching. Compliance has been this year's biggest unstructured data trend. We can expect to see contextual metadata, as implemented in object storage, serving as a new set of tools for data identification and the management of privacy controls.
Trend 2: Unstructured data is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
The scope of the problem is increasingly bubbling up as a concern for IT managers. Looking a little deeper into the survey data it appears that there are multiple aspects for aggravation. Finding the skilled people to manage the growth of data is the biggest challenge across the board; even more pressing than hiring data scientists that can gain useful and actionable insight from it. We can project that this would mean that better tools need to be in place to support this data without runaway headcount growth (and if economics are an issue, the public cloud won't be the right answer either).
Trend 3: Data lives forever.
Whether for compliance reasons or analytics, people seem to be keeping data longer. The business objective is to get maximum value from your data where you may not initially know all the potential uses of that data. To protect yourself and this perishable resource, the survey suggests many will extend the data shelf life, perhaps as an insurance policy against future useful life of the data.
Trend 4: Traditional file systems are choking with extremely large and/or dense data sets.
They just weren't designed for petabyte-scale workloads. This addresses a common problem of the rapid growth of unstructured data where it is being put on an existing NAS system which becomes overwhelmed. It may also end up on a tier 1 NAS whose performance may be compromised by the sheer volume of unstructured data and a large number of hierarchical structures.
It is interesting to note that the survey report states that the only way to support exabytes of storage in a worldwide model is object storage. Indeed, the underpinnings of the public cloud are object storage- for several good reasons: economics, scale, management efficiency, metadata flexibility and erasure coding to fix the limitations of RAID. As people keep more data longer, object storage can take a bigger portion of data to address the shortcomings of legacy storage at massive scale and across global locations.
Trend 5: New workloads find a home on object storage.
Obviously, object storage is still very good for archiving. As systems have matured, some object stores have added more performance (check out some interesting testing results in this report). Today you can find some secondary (non-production) workloads that will work just fine on object storage to take advantage of its cost, management and scalability benefits. We're seeing interesting use cases in media and entertainment, as well as new workloads such as analytics and data lakes finding new homes on object storage.
It will come as no surprise that Western Digital has sponsored the 451 Research survey because we also see the increasing unstructured data trend of object storage adoption. Our object storage offering, ActiveScale™, has been around several years and has been continually improved to address the changing nature of data in today's world. ActiveScale has a number of advanced features that make it a great choice for unstructured data and diverse workloads and applications.
Data is the lifeline of companies in the digital era. The unstructured data trends we're seeing represent the critical changes organizations are making in the data value chain through visibility, control and automation. Object storage is a key component of the next generation of data infrastructure. A future where unstructured data is contextualized and monetized.

Entry Class Conditions:
- Open Monochrome:
Any black and white image going from very dark grey (black) to very clear grey (white) and containing only various shades of grey. A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain eligible for the monochrome class.
However, a black and white work modified by partial toning or by the addition of one or more colours, becomes a colour work and is thus ineligible for the monochrome class.
- Creative:
Montage, Altered reality and Surreal Images.
- Any final image made up from a foreground (subject) image and one or more different background images is considered to be a creative image. The image must obviously display a change in natural colour, form, shape, or any combination of these three. Creative images are montages (a blending or composite of multiple images). High Dynamic Range (HDR) images without further changes are not considered creative and must not be entered in this class.
- The original image(s) must have been captured using the photographic process. Images may not incorporate elements produced by anyone else. This includes any textures or overlays incorporated within the image.
- Artwork or computer graphics generated by the entrant may be incorporated, provided that the original photographic content predominates: images may not be constructed entirely within a computer. It is necessary that the image's core content be photographic and identifiable.
- Any subject matter is acceptable as long as the creative guidelines are followed. Non-creative images must not be entered in this class and will be marked down.
- Nature
- This is the Nature definition adopted by PAGB from 2018, edited to remove inapplicable Wildlife class references.Note that images already meeting the separate FIAP Definition of Nature https://www.gradacfoto.com/pdf/Definitions.pdf will satisfy this less restrictive definition.Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation.The story telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality while maintaining high technical quality.Scientific bands, scientific tags or radio collars on wild animals are permissible. Photographs of human created hybrid plants, cultivated plants, feral animals, domestic animals, or mounted specimens are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement.Processing of the captured image, by cropping, exposure adjustment, colour correction, noise minimisation, dodging/burning, HDR, focus stacking and sharpening, is allowed. Cloning of image defects and minor distractions, including overlapping elements, are permitted when these do not distort the truth of the photographic statement.Images entered as Nature can have landscape, geologic formations, weather phenomena, and extant organisms as the primary subject matter. This includes images taken with the subjects in controlled conditions, such as zoos, game farms, botanical gardens, aquariums and any enclosure where the subjects are totally dependent on man for food.Access to biological subjects may be restricted. By entering a PAGB event, Photographers warrant that they have followed relevant codes of practices and hold any necessary licences.
Image Preparation Guidance:
- The images will be projected using a colour-calibrated high quality digital projector which has a displayable image area of 1400 pixels wide by 1050 pixels high.
- Images which are smaller than 1400 by 1050 pixels will be displayed as is (i.e. they will not be made any bigger) and will be surrounded by black as required to fill the displayable area when presented for selection.
- The online submission web site will not allow you to enter an image which is too big.
- Only JPG images will be accepted. An sRGB colourspace will be assumed. It is strongly recommended that submitted images should have been converted to the sRGB colourspace, otherwise the Judge will probably not see the same colours that you do!
- Image titles will be read out to the Selectors and will appear in the catalogue and on the results web pages.
Image File Naming Requirements:
- Image files submitted using the online submission website may have any name, within reason, with the proviso that the file must be a valid JPG filewith the file name suffix '.jpg'.

Auto accident victims may sustain various types of injuries, but some are especially disruptive. For example, those who struggle with paralysis following a crash may struggle with the physical consequences of their situation, and they may face devastating mental and financial issues as well. If you have become paralyzed after a motor vehicle collision, or someone in your family is struggling with paralysis due to an auto accident, exploring your legal options is paramount if the wreck was caused by a reckless driver.
Paralysis can affect auto accident victims in various ways. Some people lose the ability to walk, while others may not be able to use their arms any longer. Not only can this dramatically affect someone's quality of life and ability to enjoy various hobbies, but they may also be unable to work due to paralysis. Missing work can bring on severe financial problems, and the hospital bills associated with paralysis and other auto accident injuries can be significant.
Sadly, negligent drivers will continue to cause accidents and leave innocent people with a myriad of injuries. Our law firm firmly believes that those who cause an accident because they decided to drive drunk or go over the speed limit should be held responsible. Paralysis has disrupted many lives, and it is particularly upsetting for victims and those who they love to know that these injuries were completely avoidable if drivers had followed traffic safety guidelines and obeyed the law.
For more on some of the consequences of motor vehicle collisions, head to our accidents page.

Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage
I offer a mixture between Deep Tissue and Relaxation massage. This allows me to be able to access the sore spots in a way that is more acceptable to your body. No pain/No gain is not necessarily the best method when it comes to massage therapy.
Massage therapy rates are as follows:
$55 for 30 mins, $75 for 45 mins, $95 for 60 mins and $125 for 90 mins
Cranio Sacral Therapy
Cranio Sacral Therapy
I have been training with The Upledger Institute. Dr John Upledger wrote about your Inner Physician and how you are in control of how your body heals and responds to treatment.
Cranio Sacral therapy is a light touch treatment while you are fully clothed. It is non-invasive and treatment can be very different for each person and also different from one treatment to the next. Cranio Sacral therapy resets the autonomic nervous system to help those of us who remain in the 'fight or flight' for whatever reason. It is very relaxing and offers great results for many ailments. Headaches, TMJ, PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety and depression are just a few.
Cranio Sacral treatment rate is $110.
Treatment time ranges generally between 45-90 mins
Direct billing is available!
Direct billing is available!
Please bring your extended health benefits card with you. I can offer direct billing to most extended health carriers.
You will be responsible to pay the difference if your extended health benefits do not cover 100% of the rates above.
I can accept cash or email transfer as methods of payment at this time (other than the direct billing portion).
It is helpful to check with your plan ahead of time too to confirm whether or not they require a doctor's note. Some do and some do not. Extended health companies that require a doctor's note will not authorize direct billing before the doctor's note is received and processed in their office.
Treatment is always your decision, it is just whether or not your extended health company will reimburse for treatment that requires a note from your doctor.

20 years ago we introduced the 914G, our first of what was to become many Cat® 1:48 scale models. This size is nice for our collectors because it allows plenty of detail to remain while fitting nicely in a small space in an office or on a shelf.
"We chose to produce a model of the 914G because it is the first wheel loader in Cat's new G series," said CCM's former President Bob Peterson. "We recognized that Caterpillar felt the design of the 914G was important enough to warrant a patent, so our goal was to create a model that was equally unique."
When the prototype was completed, it was sent for review to Caterpillar's Building Construction Products Division in Clayton, NC. Among those reviewing the model was marketing consultant Mike Perez. Impressed by its accuracy, Perez commented, "It even has the prop for the engine enclosure!" The exceptional quality of the 914G model so impressed Caterpillar that the first 10 replicas produced were given to executives in the company as commemorative gifts.
Detail for detail as impressive as its true-life counterpart, the 914G model had windshield wipers, "cornerless" windows, rubber tires, working hydraulic cylinders, muffler, turn signals, an A/C compressor and drive belt, and authentic Caterpillar markings. The model's detail showed in the creature comforts of the ergonomically-designed 914G cab, complete with miniature rearview mirrors, all of which was fully articulated and hand-assembled from more than 250 parts.
Only 300 of these models were made and measured 5.25" long, 2" wide, and 2.5" in height. They came with certificate of authenticity and were individually serial numbered. Price at release was $359.95 and as with most of our models the rarity and quality have allowed them to hold their value over time.

I was walking north on LaSalle Street a couple of days ago, right in front of The Northern Trust building. I was directly behind a very large Mexican man and his son. No, wait, look closer…….it was a very large Mexican man and his friend, also an adult. The smaller friend was a midget. Why would I report this? Why is it a big deal, have you not seen a midget before? I want to be very clear that I am a friend of the midgets and take no issue with them in general. In fact, when you are as height-challenged as I myself you need to tread very lightly with genetic anomalies related to height lest the gods decide to punish you for your cruelty. What made this a noteworthy event was what the midget was wearing. He was, in the street vernacular, parlance of our times, "sagging". Yep, the midget was letting his pants hang completely and intentionally off his ass, which is to say they were resting squarely upon the tops of his Nikes. It was glorious. You see, that is how you fucking do it! You decide upon a look and you adhere to it at all costs. It looked almost like a pair of pants that you'd stepped perfectly out of the night before so that they were scrunched symmetrically on the vertical axis, as though the person in the pants had been vaporized, leaving behind only the trousers and shoes. That is how you wear gangster street flavor. If your look calls for sagged pants, don't let reality stand in your way. Belt those fuckers up below your ass and waddle on my man, waddle on. With those sagging Dickies, Nikes, and black hoody (hood deployed, bitch), don't let anyone tell you that you don't look like a bad mutherfucker.
What I never understand when you sag your pants is, are you so committed to looking like a dipshit that you are willing to do so even though you might at some point have to run? What if you have to run to avoid getting hit by a bus? Guess what, you're fucking dead. What if you have to run from the police? This brings me to an oft-debated moment from my youth. The year was 1993 and I was but a smooth-faced young buck with no drivers license. It was July 4th and I was at the yearly patriotism soiree of family friends of ours. The revelry was coming to a close and my friends had caught wind of the existence of a girls-only campout somewhere on the other side of "town", town being a village, meaning there were miles of country road to navigate to reach said girls. We had no car nor anyone to legally drive a car if we could have procured one. So we did what any group of young men would have done–we walked. Miles and miles in pitch black darkness. What were our plans when we got there? Nothing, absolutely nothing. I doubt anyone was harboring a notion of hook up occurring once we found these girls. I assume some sort of sneaking up on the tent, perhaps a "raid" was in the offing. I really don't know. All I do know is that we had to get there, at all costs. We reached after many miles and tribulations the central nerve center, that being the toilets, of a public park. While convening there to decide how best to deploy closing speed on the chick encampment, disaster struck in the form of local police bearing down on us with their sirens blazing. Memory tells me there was also police commands coming out of the bull horn system on the car, but to be honest I may have added that detail back into the story with time. But either way we were a group of teenage boys out committing the heinous act of……wait for it……curfew violation. That was it. We weren't even cool enough to have vandalized something. Why we felt the need to flee the scene as though we'd just murdered two vagrants for sport is a question that will likely never be answered. I will not name names to protect the innocent, but hindsight proved the most ingenious of us all to be the boy whose name rhymes with "basin". He approached me in a panic and said "I'm going to hide in the shitter, come with me". I knew that plan had being gunned down while trapped in a rancid, post-fireworks public shitter written all over it, so I told Basin to fuck off, I was tearing away on foot with the rest of the crew. Basin stood on the toilet seat, movie style so you couldn't see his feet, and was never discovered. Standing between the cops and our perceived freedom was a very tall chain-link fence. Everyone began leaping from a dead sprint onto the fence, scaling it, leaping to the other side and the chase was on. I was second-last to begin scaling the fence and this is when the debated moment occurred. The last man on the fence was my friend who will also remain nameless, but that name rhymes with "vector". Vector hit the fence with great force and at the exact moment I was swinging my first leg over the top. This resulted in the entire fence swaying and catching my shorts with the spiked top end of chain. Vector was able to clear the top and escape to freedom on the other side whilst I was swaying in the wind, straddling the top of the fence trying to free my shorts. I was a sitting duck for the Gestapo that was now on the scene. It is still hotly debated in academic circles to this day who was responsible for my unfortunate demise. I will maintain to my dying day that Vector's ham-fisted approach to the fence ascent led to my virtual hanging at the top. He of course contends that it was my shitty fence-climbing skills that ultimately left me Munsoned that warm July night. What I do know is that I was treated most harshly by the SS Storm Troopers after I was freed from the fence line. I do recall the officer in charge of this hit squad cuffing and stuffing me. I'm unsure if it was repeated ass-beatings he suffered in high school, or a complete and total lack of pussy that led him to draw-down on a 15-year-old for the crime of being outside of a house after a certain strike of the clock, but kudos to him for scaring me shitless. With my jean shorts, North Carolina basketball tee shirt and Charlotte Hornets wool pinwheel cap fully fucked and my upcoming season warming the bench for the good players on the local football team hanging in peril, my mother walked into the police station sometime in the wee hours of the morning with a most unfriendly glare decorating her countenance. Had I been encumbered with jorts hanging off my ass I probably don't even make it to the fence, let alone try to scale it. Because of Vector's haphazard fence-scaling I was ultimately the only one who took the fall for the failed great Girl Camp Raid of 1993. Others fled on foot to various corners of the county, one rumored to have made it as far as 12 miles away, while another slept in his own yard that night for reasons unknown (were the police inside the house waiting in ambush?). How does intentionally sagging your trousers relate to this 19 year old story? I don't know–loosely at best. But what is important is all readers agree that I was following all fence-climbing etiquette and protocol, and was merely the victim of he who was flaunting tradition and going at it all uncivilized and in berserker mode. That is what matters to history.

Relevant Experience and Skills
First and foremost, you need to make sure that you clearly demonstrate that you can excel in the role you want to land. In order to catch the hiring manager's attention, you need to do more than just list all of your experience and skills; you need to target the content to the position.
Begin by reviewing the vacancy announcement and locating various keywords and phrases within the job ad. Next, consider which skills and what part of your experience best aligns with those points, concentrating more on your accomplishments than your duties. Then, make sure those topics are covered in the work history section of your resume before all else. You can also highlight relevant degrees and certifications.
Finally, review the document to see if any additional information showcases your value to the potential employer while still ensuring your resume doesn't stretch beyond two pages.
Quantifiable Achievements
When you provide information about an achievement, quantifying each point is always wise. Numbers visually stand out on a resume, increasing the odds that the hiring manager will notice that point. Additionally, it provides vital context that may otherwise be lacking, allowing the hiring manager to understand the scope of your capabilities better.
For example, the phrase "led a developer team" isn't as impactful as "managed 8 developers." Similarly, "reduced costs" is more impressive when you add a percentage or can list a specific dollar amount.
A Standout Professional Summary
Professional summaries are relatively new in the world of resumes. However, they are incredibly important if you want to stand out.
Pick your most relevant skills and achievements and use them to showcase the value you can bring to the organization while keeping the section to just a few sentences. As with the other accomplishments in your work history section, quantify the details whenever possible.
The idea is to craft a statement that really packs a punch, so consider what the hiring manager may value most and lead with those points.

"For God so loved the world that God gave God's one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16
Sometimes, I struggle to believe in my own worthiness.
I see my flaws and I reason that I'm undeserving of any good because of my bad.
Am I really worthy of love and care when I don't always return every call or every favor? Am I really worthy of my laughter when I've caused others tears and sadness? Am I really worthy of spiritual redemption when I've had so many missteps in the process of finding it?
In the depths of my doubt, the Spirit whispers a reminder, courtesy of "Worth," one of my favorite praise songs.
The chorus says:
"You thought I was worth saving. So You came and changed my life.
You thought I was worth keeping. So You cleaned me up inside.
You thought I was to die for. So You sacrificed your life.
So I could be free. So I could be whole. So I could tell everyone I know."
Who am I to question my worthiness when I've already been declared worthy by God?
Before I took my first breath, God loved who I was, who I am, and who I will become.
God's call for me is to embrace a spiritually abundant life, despite my shortcomings. Thankfully, my worthiness isn't something I get to decide.
Worth isn't some kind of currency exchange of good or bad deeds, where I can try to make up for the things I wasn't or perhaps will never be.
Heaven already thought I was worth saving. Thank God that makes me worthy enough.
When I question my worth, I'm thankful that through Jesus Christ, I've already been given my answer.

The head of the FBI said in an interview broadcast late Sunday that the U.S. is preparing for an imminent terrorist attack.
FBI Director James Comey said the Khorasan Group, an al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, may still be working on a plan to hit the United States.
"Khorasan was working and may still be working on an effort to attack the United States or our allies, and looking to do it very, very soon," he said on CBS's "60 Minutes."
"I can't sit here and tell you whether it's their plan is tomorrow or three weeks or three months from now," he said.
"Given our visibility, we know they're serious people, bent on destruction. And so we have to act as if it's coming tomorrow."

I don't consider myself a "fashionista" but I do appreciate and love certain fashion novelties. There are a few fashion brands, items and shops where I really love their stuff!
And so I just thought of doing this "Fashion Snapshot" segment in my blog where I feature some items I bought or found or would love to have… and of course, the shops whose merchandise I love!
Most women, if not all, love jewelries and accessories. I have yet to meet one who doesn't.
From our online accessories business, I have known quite a number of ladies who collects jewelries, real or faux. Some love to collect those unique or one-of-a-kind, others love those vintage-styled, some like those made from sterling silver, and for those more financially blessed, they go for the real deal.
The photo above shows a (synthetic) turquoise earrings and pendant set in 92.5% silver with very small gemstones. It was a present from my parents during my recent birthday.
Well, I was actually the one who chose this. They asked me to come with them to Alabang last Friday, and had me choose what I liked from Asian Finds (they were on sale from Feb. 9 to 15). I especially love the detail on the pendant (and even the backside of it).
I love their earrings, pendants and bracelets with semiprecious stones or synthetic stones set in sterling silver. I especially love and prefer those made with Turquoise and Black Onyx, even though my birthstone is Amethyst.
If you're not familiar with Asian Finds, it is a small shop at the Upper Ground Floor of Alabang Town Center selling mainly jewelries and a few other accessories. Very nice jewelries I should say. Most of their jewelries are priced from Php1,000 up. A bit pricey for some, but I guess price is relative.
You'd be surprised how fast most of their items get sold. That's why as my sister would put it, "if you find something you love, better buy it immediately… If you think about it for a few days (even just for one day or sometimes even just hours) before buying, chances are when you go back, it's already sold." And it has been true!
Asian Finds also offers lifetime free cleaning. 🙂

I have a question about the shipping part of the checkout.
For example I want the shipping prices for the orders below 150 RON to cost 15 RON. And for the orders above 150 RON to make the shipping free. Can you guys please explain me how can I implement this in my shopify store?
The link of the store that I am working on is: novatexconfsite.myshopify.com
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
Hi, @novatexconf,
Hank here from Shopify.
Planning your Shipping strategy is a huge part of the success your store will have, so it is important to get your rates correct.
The way you have described your query is what's known as price based shipping rates, so I will give a breakdown of how you can set this up within your store!
To start, once logged into your Shopify admin, you will want to go to Settings > Shipping > Manage rates. Once there, simply edit the zone you are working on, and add a rate. So for your setup, you would click on add rate, type in the name of the shipping, add the price, and then add conditions.
Once you add a condition, you can set that the minimum price (to qualify) is 0 RON, and the maximum price is 149.99 RON, then those customers will pay 15 Ron for their shipping.
Then you just need to repeat the process for the customers who you wish to give free shipping to. Have the minimum price set to 150 Ron and no maximum price, and they will get the price that you wish to charge, in this case, it would be free shipping.
Let me know how you get on with this, or if you have any further questions!
All the best, Hank.

Klein's piece on the minaret referendum. Now up is the separation of the dead:
A mainstream Swiss political leader is calling for a ban on separate Muslim and Jewish cemeteries. Christophe Darbellay, president of the Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland, made the statement in a television interview Tuesday, two days after Swiss voters passed an initiative to ban minarets. The anti-minaret initiative came from the opposition ultra-conservative Swiss People's Party and other right-wing political organizations. Critics say Darbellay is starting a "crusade" to attract voters by proposing similarly xenophobic measures.
