"You will receive the strength you need when you stay calm and trust in me." Isaiah 30:15
Those words meant a lot to us during September when, as you may recall from last month's letter, there was a lot to squeeze into a relatively short period and we were tired before we even began. "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord". Thank you for your support – you prayed, we waited and God gave the strength we needed.
It was good to spend time with friends old and new in France at Spring Harvest Holidays houseparty 'adults only' week. We had the privilege once again of offering prayer and pastoral care to guests. Do make this annual holiday known to your contacts and also consider it for yourself, visit their website for more information. There was good Bible teaching and well-led worship, as well as a wide variety of leisure activities including wine tasting and a quiz. The competition was stiff so our team was delighted to come second out of at least ten teams.
The NIrV – Accessible Edition
The NIrV – Accessible Edition continues to spark some encouraging reactions: "I can read it without my glasses!" and "I don't read very well but I can manage this." Our friend Sarah read from it at Littlehampton Baptist Church last Sunday when Pete was speaking about making the church a place where people are known for their God-given gifts and abilities, rather than disability. Don't forget, you can buy your own copy If you enter 'PW' in the discount box, it won't help you (sorry) but it will benefit Count Everyone In (CEI)
So what is on the horizon for October?
A Area celebrations – during his years with Prospects, Pete established Prayer & Encouragement groups, where leaders of church groups get together for just that. Some of these groups have invited us to help them in running regional celebrations this autumn, hence our trips to Portsmouth and Chessington in October and to Stevenage next month. Unfortunately we are unable to attend the event in Wiltshire because of a prior booking.
B Biblica – Pete will be flying to Belfast to meet with the Global Board of Biblica and attend a dinner at the Stormont Parliament buildings.
D Developing resources – With our first training day coming up in November, it's full-steam ahead to prepare the material for this and similar days. We are putting time aside specifically for that purpose and would value prayer. As time unfolds we hope to have other resources available and will keep you updated here.
E EDN – We received an invitation some months ago to the European Disability Network conference to be held next April in Latvia. At that time we had no idea how CEI would develop but we now feel confident in agreeing to attend and speak at the conference. Having made the decision, guess what? Next day we received a donation that will more than cover the costs of the trip! God seems to ask us to consider prayerfully and carefully what we should do and then, decision made, He confirms it!
F Future events – We are giving you the dates (below) when we shall be at Christian festivals and events in 2018. We shall be running accessible programmes following the same theme as the main events and will be getting a team together for each event. Please make this information available to anyone you know who might benefit from these events.
P Publicity – At last we have some postcards introducing CEI and advertising the festivals that have invited us for 2018. Please ask if you would like us to put some in the post for you.
T Training – CEI's first training day is to be held on Saturday 18th November at Basingstoke Baptist Church. Please contact us for more information.
W Website – We are grateful to an 'old' friend for working with us to make this happen and we shall let you know when it is live.
Y Younger people – We are keen to engage with other people, especially younger folk, who God may be calling to get involved in sharing the love of Jesus with people with learning disabilities. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let them know about CEI and encourage them to get in touch. There may be opportunities to serve on a team, train to be a trainer, or start a work in their church.
Looking ahead, here are some engagements arranged so far and others may be added:
- Sun 1 Harvest Sunday at St Nic's followed by ploughman's lunch
- Mon 2 Meeting with a church leader
- Weds 4 Homegroup – we're enjoying challenging studies in 1 Thessalonians

TBY talks to Javier Barrios, CEO of MIRA, on financial vehicles, benefits of mixed-use developments, and the long-term prospects of Mexico's real estate market.
BIOGRAPHYJavier Barrios co-founded MIRA after having worked as a general manager at BCBA Impulse, a real estate firm specialized in housing and office space. Barrios served as the president of the Real Estate Developer Association (ADI) from 2004-2006. He holds a degree in industrial engineering from Universidad Panamericana and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
What is the attractiveness of the Mexican real estate market for foreign investors at the moment?
From a long-term perspective, Mexico is an attractive market given its young population, strong household formation, and increasing GDP per capita. In the coming years, there will be a strong demand for housing and continued growth in job generation which will result in greater demand for offices. If current consumption levels continue on an upward trend, we will also see more demand for retail. Industrial will also continue to grow as trade and FDI increase. However, there are certain challenges that we need to overcome. Market prices are overheated, and I expect to see an adjustment in prices sometime in the midterm. We have been in a growing market since 2009, which is possibly the longest uptrend I have ever seen, and prices for assets are extremely high. Overall, I see a positive long term and a cautious short term in the real estate market in Mexico.
What opportunities or challenges does this price adjustment present for MIRA?
Fortunately, MIRA is capitalized; we placed an investment project certificate (CerPI) for the first time, and thus far it is the only CerPI in the market in 2017. We will have a long time to invest that money. An adjustment would, therefore, be positive from that perspective. In terms of our ongoing projects, we have a large portfolio that is in operation, and those assets would be impacted negatively in the short term; however, given our long-term perspective we would be able to keep up the business without any problems.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of issuing a CerPI against other possible financial vehicles for the real estate market?
There are multiple options in the public market, including submitting an IPO, which we did not consider because in our business it is not common to see companies going public. This left us with certificates of development capital (CKD) or CerPIs. Most of our assets are designed for sale, and FIBRAs are designed for income-producing assets, which are only a portion of our portfolio. To raise capital for our business, we could go private with individuals, though that is so capital-intensive that the amount of money that is needed is significantly greater than individuals are able to fund. We needed to go to institutions, which are CerPI or the CKD. CerPIs required that we co-invest at least 30% of the fund with financial institutions, and in exchange, there is greater discretion over the type of investments that one can make. Furthermore, at that time there were 25 CKDs ahead of us
Why did you focus on mixed-use developments, and do you foresee this becoming the norm in the market?
In fact, we call them communities because our projects are huge; for example, one had 1,300 residential units and 100,000sqm of office and retail space. Often, there are mixed-use projects that are just one building with many uses. In our case, we develop a real community with multiple buildings and multiple uses. For the scale of projects that we do, we always mix, and it always makes sense to mix uses to build a more attractive environment. For example, in the project Neuchatel in Polanco, there will be a 300m-long pedestrian mall with stores, restaurants, and buildings around it providing shade and a secure environment. Given that our company works to develop large communities, we foresee them continuing to be mixed-uses
How do you make sure the entire project is integrated with the rest of the city and is accessible through different means of transport?
A great deal of what we focus on is the city dynamics. We want to be where there is infrastructure, job generation, and schools, and that is what we look for: old factories or large tracks of land. We do not want to develop outside the urban ring. During the site selection process, we look for areas that have excellent transportation, infrastructure, schools, and jobs.

Never having done any writing of any kind since I left school some 30 or so years ago, I was a little apprehensive about writing this article. So when I was asked to write about my two passions, collecting miniatures and collecting antiques, I started to write what to me was a boring history about the Victorians and my trips to the antique shops and sales.
So I decided to write this article as if I were chatting with my friends in the Greenleaf forums, a much more comfortable format for me.
I don't claim to be an expert on miniatures or collecting antiques, but I can give you some ideas on how I approach my collections. I have no secret method for decorating my mini homes or my full sized home, the only guideline I follow is I try to duplicate some of what I have in my real home into my minis, and the same holds true in reverse. So simply put, I buy what I like and that seems to work for me.
Even though I live in a circa 1800 Federal home my with my partner Russ and his mom Catherine our style of decorating and collecting is mostly Victorian, which is also the style I prefer in my mini homes.
We enjoy the eclectic if somewhat cluttered feeling of the Victorian home. It allows us to collect from several time periods which translates very well to miniatures because it gives you a reason to collect all those wonderful pieces you've wanted to and mix and match as long as they fit within a reasonable time period to make them work in your miniature settings.
The rich fabrics and colors used by the Victorians also work very well in miniature giving your rooms a warm and inviting feeling, especially if you use soft lighting.
Draperies used bold patterns and were often hung in many layers, a look I love and is easily replicated in miniature.
Draperies were also hung between rooms to give a grander appearance and privacy, something I want to eventually do in my mini homes. Bold prints and colors were also used walls with ornate trims to the appearance of elegance. Lesser rooms were often simply painted and less ornate. The Victorians displayed their wealth boldly to show their standing in the community.
I have a weakness for the over the top and often whimsical lamps and lampshades of the 1800's and early 1900's. They add a lot of interest to your rooms and mini rooms.
The Victorians liked to use whimsy in their decorating and in the style and colors on the inside and outside of their homes. The beautiful painted ladies are a great example of this fun side of the period. Here in New England we are lucky to have many of these fine homes.
Russ loves to collect silver and china from the 1800's and I love to collect the furniture from this period, especially desks and wall hung what not shelves.
Making these small shelves in miniature is quite easy and a great way to display those little collectibles in your mini homes like they did in their large homes. One of the more important pieces of furniture that showed everyone that you have come up in the world was having one of the beautiful desks that they produced with heavy carvings and beautiful inlayed woods.
The use of dark woods like mahoghany and cherry was very popular. I usually have at least one desk in nearly every room of my mini houses. The wooten desk is a fine example.
With the industrial revolution also came the ease of travel and the Victorians loved to travel. They brought home their treasure that they acquired all over the world and proudly displayed them in their homes. They hung wonderful tapestries on the walls and beautiful rugs for their floors. Asian art and pottery was very popular filling many homes with these colorful and delicate pieces.
So that's my little effort in sharing with you what I collect and why I collect. Don't be afraid to fill your homes and mini homes with the treasures that you love. Be passionate about what you collect, and it will show through, and you will be happy with the outcome. Also don't be afraid to use what you collect. We have learned in our many years of collecting that if you don't use what you collect, although carefully, you lose some of the fun of having these wonderful things.
Happy collecting, big and small.
(*Editor's note: For a delightful experience, be sure to visit Greg's photo galleries on the forum to see more of his miniatures and real life collections.

Enrique Iglesias & Anna Kournikova Spend $600K Protecting Newborns: 16 Ft. Wall & More — Report
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova didn't just keep their birth secret, they're slyly baby-proofing their home for $600K!
How are Enrique Iglesias & Anna Kournikova able to fly under the radar so well? The couple, 42 and 36, respectively, are trying to keep things that way, allegedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to ensure that paps don't violate their, and their newborn twins' privacy. After keeping a pregnancy and birth secret, that shouldn't be too hard for them! Enrique and Anna are reportedly in the middle of renovating their $25 million Miami mansion to be more baby-friendly, according to TMZ. That includes allegedly building a 16-foot-high wall around the property!
As if the wall weren't enough, they're also apparently adding a "2-story single family residence" to their property, according to city building permits obtained by the news outlet. What in the world could that be?? They're also baby-proofing the place, with sensible additions like a child barrier around their pools. Yes, they apparently have more than one pool. Construction began this summer, when Anna was in her second trimester, according to the docs.
The price is crazy, but the fact that they're willing to go to those lengths to protect their privacy isn't surprising. Enrique and Anna just welcomed twins Nicholas and Lucy on December 16, and the public had no idea that she was even pregnant! They essentially went into hiding to achieve that goal "They basically only hang out with family and very close friends," a source told PEOPLE magazine. "They mostly keep to themselves." Now they'll be shielded by a 16-foot wall!
HollywoodLifers, do you think spending $600K on home renovations for their twins is a bit much, or do you think Enrique and Anna have the right idea? Let us know!

I'm all for preparedness, and for fiddling on Realtor.com. Have you
ever played on that site? It's amazing. I love imagining where I'd live
if I moved to New York, New Orleans, anywhere really (Does anyone else
do this or is it just me?)
Anyhow, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when Realtor.com unveiled its Top 10 Anti-Zombie Strongholds. Best of all, they're on sale now. Well, if you have a few extra million, that is.
Details, details...
Still, check them out. Personally, if I had to choose, I'd go for the self-sustaining island with the double moat.
Or maybe, just maybe the wilderness missile silo. It has a jacuzzi, you know, for relaxing after taking out a few of the undead.
Either way, I simply must take along Norman Reedus (he plays Daryl Dixon, the bow and arrow toting bad ass on The Walking Dead and he happened to be right by this booksigning I was doing last weekend).
So what about you? Where would you go, and who would you bring, if you needed to head to your hideout?


text:
"The island was, some few years ago, divided into two provinces, called Salang [Thalang] and Poket. Before the division, the island consisted of only one province called Salang, the principle inhabitants of which were Malays, with a few Siamese, and they cultivated rice and caught fish sufficient for their own consumption.
"The Governor of the island was then Phra Phalat. He was sent to Poket when it was only a fishing village and being an enterprising sort of man he determined to see what treasures were concealed beneath the soil and was so far successful as to find something which he thought would in a few years amply repay the outlay which he might make … The Chinese soon flocked in numbers to Phuket and Phra Phalat furnished them with funds to commence work and the place prospered and grew apace."
Access into Kathu at the time was up the crocodile-infested Klong Bang Yai, the stream (now very silted up and in most places encased in concrete as a stormwater culvert in Phuket Town) which runs down from Kathu past Sam Kong (by the Tesco Lotus store) into Phuket City, past the Thavorn Hotel and then enters the sea at Saphan Hin (the bay here was known formerly as "Bukit" or "Tongkah" Harbour).
Small flat-bottomed boats poled supplies, equipment and people up this river, through thick jungle, to the primitive Chinese mining camps being set up in clearings (in the area around Get Ho village in Kathu today). By 1800, about a mile up this Klong Bang Yai from the sea, far enough inland to deter pirates, a ramshackle Chinese shanty port town appeared to supply these prospectors and miners with food, equipment, opium and gambling and to smelt their tin ore. This settlement became known as "Bukit", "Poket" or now "Phuket" town.
By the early years of the 19th century, tin production in the region had increased to around 400 tonnes a year. Some years as much as 40 tonnes was transported to Bangkok as tax and much of the rest was used to buy weapons and cloth, which also had to be transported to Bangkok.
Due to the constant threat of piracy, it was unsafe to ship these valuables via the Strait of Malacca to Bangkok. Instead, they were usually sent by the old trans-peninsular route overland from Marid Town (Thap Phut today) in Phang Nga by river boat upstream, then carried by elephant or ox carts over the Khao Sok Pass (near the Ratchaprapa Dam today), then downstream by river to Surat Thani, where they were loaded on to junks for Bangkok.
The route was arduous and slow and many goods were lost en route. For example, one late 18th century Thai document tells us that the governor of Takua Thung in Phang Nga, who, as a gift for the King, brought from India a shipload of "piece goods and silver vessels enameled in various colours as used at court… The Governor had all these valuable things conveyed under his personal supervision to Tha Khao Sok." There, they were loaded on boats to go downriver to the Bay of Bandon on the east coast, but "owing to a sudden flood in the river, the Governor's boat sank and all the enameled ware was lost."
Many other goods were lost in the crossing, both to the river and to dacoits and bandits, who preyed on these trans-peninsular trade convoys.
In 1804, Phraya Surindr-raja, a respected Thai commissioner for the region, set about building a new and easier route "for the conveyance of Royalties in kind and other dues over the peninsula… as the Khao Sok route was hardly practicable on account of the numerous rapids and [water] falls in the streams, hence crown property had gone many times lost… The King approved of the scheme and granted elephants for the purpose… to cut a track through the jungle from Pak Phanom to Phang Nga."
A squabble soon arose with the viceroy of Ligor and Phraya Surindr-raja about who would collect tolls along a section of the road that passed through Ligor's lands, a squabble which Phraya Suridr-raja won. This was a first early sign that Phuket, with its increasing wealth from tin, was beginning to challenge the traditional dominance of the ancient city of Ligor. This newly cleared route reduced the peninsular crossing time to four or five days. It also meant that Bangkok's previous remote and distant rule over Phuket was becoming closer, as the island became more valuable.
(Note: Around the early-to mid-19th century, visitors and foreigners started to refer to the ancient city of Ligor – today called Nakhon Sri Thammarat in Thai).

Arsenal need to 'ship out half the team', including 'problematic' David Luiz, says David Bentley
Luiz signed a new one-year deal to remain at Arsenal (Picture: Getty Images)
David Bentley has urged Arsenal to offload half of their team, including David Luiz and Mesut Ozil, in order to rebuild the squad.
The Gunners endured a dismal start after the three-month break with consecutive losses to Manchester City and Brighton.
Mikel Arteta?s side clawed back some dignity with a victory over Southampton in the Premier League and also sealed their progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United on Sunday.
The north London club are facing a restricted summer of spending due to the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis and may need to sell players to raise funds for new signings.
And former Arsenal and Tottenham winger Bentley believes Ozil and Luiz are one of a number of squad members that need to be shipped out.
?Mesut Ozil and David Luiz are on large money and if Arsenal can move these players on then Arteta will be able to spend money on transfers,? Bentley told 888Sport.

?I don?t know what the thinking is at boardroom level because Arsenal need to ship out half the team and get a good core in. That?s difficult but can be done.
?The major problem is that we don?t know if they?re singing from the same hymn sheet at boardroom level.?
Last week, Arsenal confirmed David Luiz had been handed a new one-year deal to keep the defender at the Emirates until next summer, and Bentley admitted he was perplexed over the decision.
?I was surprised at the new contract,? he added.
?I don?t know if it?s because of a lack of preparation in getting players in but the recruitment with the back four is a problem. It always has been.

?David Luiz is problematic. He?s a great technical player but if you want to bring the youth through and create a winning mentality is he really the type to help with that"
?You look at Liverpool ? and Manchester United are trying to do it too ? and they build a solid foundation that allows the players to express themselves.
?If you have solid back-four and solid spine of the team it?s easier for the young players to step into that. Instead, Arsenal leak goals and look vulnerable.?

The story of Romeo and Juliet is nowadays inextricably linked with the name of William Shakespeare but Shakespeare was not even the first writer to tackle the subject in the English language. Some thirty years before his "Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy" appeared on the London boards, a long narrative poem by Arthur Brooke entitled The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet was published. In his preface to that poem the writer referred to another treatment "lately set forth on the stage" of the same plot, now lost. Similarly Bellini was not the first operatic composer to be inspired by the topic of the Capulets and the Montagues. At least two other Italians had preceded him – Zingarelli (1796) and Vaccai (1825) – but Bellini's appears to have been the first treatment that received any long-term degree of success. Felice Romani based his libretto not on Shakespeare, but on the Italian version of the story by Matteo Bandelli. This did not stop Berlioz criticising Romani heavily in his Memoirs for abandoning Shakespearean elements in the plot such as the Ball at the Capulets and the Balcony Scene. Berlioz was heavily in thrall to Romeo and Juliet, the play in which he had first encountered and fallen in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson who inspired his Symphonie fantastique and was later to become his wife before Berlioz himself treated Roméo et Juliette as a symphony.
When Berlioz encountered Bellini's opera in Florence he also objected strenuously to the casting of Romeo with a female singer (not a castrato) noting that although Zingarelli and Vaccai had done the same there was no "law that Juliet's lover must always appear shorn of his manhood." These considerations seem to have weighed with Claudio Abbado in his live recording from 1966, when the conductor re-assigned the role to a tenor – not Luciano Pavarotti, who was relegated to the role of Tybalt, but Giacomo Aragall. Later recordings have returned the role to a mezzo-soprano, which not only restores Bellini's original tessitura but also lets us hear the one passage of the opera of which Berlioz approved, where the lovers unite in unison at the conclusion of Act One. This he described as having "an extraordinary force and bold impetus." It is the original version of Bellini's score which we are given here.
Apart from the essential ingredients of the warring families and the two lovers, the only real point of correspondence between Romani's libretto and Shakespeare's play comes with the figure of Lorenzo, here the Capulet's doctor who furnishes the sleeping potion that precipitates the death of the lovers. This rather extended series of coincidences is probably the weakest element in Shakespeare's plot, and it is not surprising that Garrick — and following him, Berlioz in his symphonic treatment — found the need to alter somewhat the scene in the tomb to suit the taste and good sense of the audience. It was not until the end of nineteenth century that a sense of textual propriety restored Shakespeare's original. It is significant that when Bernstein and Sondheim created their own version of the tale for West Side Story this was one element that was jettisoned wholesale.
The resulting libretto remains a rather broken-backed affair, and oddly enough given the title of the opera the dramatic focus is almost entirely on the Capulets. The Montagues are reduced to a couple of brief choral appearances, with the exception of Romeo, who is the only member of the family to have a solo role. In this production they only appear briefly onstage at the end of Act One, when they are dramatically indistinguishable from the Capulets. During the first scene the latter hold the stage in isolation, and here Saimir Pirgu distinguishes himself in the role of Tybalt where his elegant cantilena line rivals that of the young Pavarotti in the Abbado recording. Eric Owens is a suitably malignant Capulet, and Ao Li is a sympathetic Lorenzo.
Bellini may have written his score in some haste for a production in Venice — and it's not as lengthy as Norma or I Puritani — but his facility for melody is everywhere in evidence. The results are a real gift for the two principal singers. Oddly enough they are not given a love duet as such – their encounters tend to centre around the need for escape rather than their romantic attraction for each other. However the opportunities for delicate shading and passionate argument are seized by Nicole Cabell and Joyce DiDonato, both of whom are in excellent voice. They also fully relish their final scene, where following the Garrick precedent the lovers are re-united before their death.
Producer Vincent Boussard in his booklet note explains that he sought to restore some degree of dramatic verisimilitude by treating the action from the psychological viewpoint of the lovers. There is almost no scenery to speak of apart from a huge staircase for the Capulet's hall. This causes some problems for the female members of the chorus to negotiate in their court dresses. The set is otherwise restricted to a few props suspended in front of abstract cycloramas. These props – saddles for the stables, a washbasin for Juliet's bedroom – seem oddly realistic when set against the generally non-representational backdrop. In fact the cameras tend to minimalise this dichotomy with their generally close focus on the principal singers. The co-production between San Francisco and Bavarian State Opera was first seen in Munich, but although that was given with different singers there is no sense here that what we are witnessing is a revival. There is plenty of dramatic interaction between the soloists and nothing here strikes a false note. Even the confrontation between Romeo and Tybalt in Act Two — which leaves Tybalt alive at the end — has plenty of fire and involvement. This is helped by the passionate singing of DiDonato and Pirgu, although Romeo seems to have mislaid the sword that he was waving around rather ineffectually in the finale of Act One.
The extras, oddly hived off onto a very short second DVD, consist of shortish interviews with the two principals, with DiDonato's very brief tribute to the assistance she received from San Francisco Opera in the early days of her career forming a somewhat inconsequential conclusion. In her earlier 'conversation' she defends Boussard's production in effusive terms; it was not apparently well received by critics. Also she comments favourably on Christian Lacroix's costumes although to my eyes their generally nineteenth century air contrasted with leather jackets for Romeo and Tybalt and a decidedly twentieth century short skirt for Juliet seem unremarkable. However in this of all operas it is the singing that really matters and the superb rendition of the score we are given here – with Riccardo Frizza obtaining splendidly nuanced playing from the orchestra – will enchant viewers and listeners alike.
Bellini's treatment of the subject of Romeo and Juliet may pale into insignificance by comparison with more fully Shakespearean full-length versions by Berlioz, Gounod or Prokofiev. However Bellini's opera is not altogether unworthy of its theme, especially when as well performed as it is here. Archiv currently lists two alternative versions on DVD, both issued in 2006. Neither can boast a cast as starry as that we are given here although Patrick O'Connor in the Gramophone was enthusiastic about the modern-dress production with Patricia Ciofi as Juliet.

The most innovative organizations on the planet are aggressively leveraging cloud-based services for everything. They can do this because Software-as-a-Service solutions provide tremendous benefits and enable businesses to refocus their energy toward business goals, not managing and bearing the expense of infrastructure.
Hosted user management solutions such as hosted LDAP are no different.
The Benefits of an LDAP-as-a-Service Implementation Include:
Always-On Capabilities
SaaS-based services are available from anywhere at all times and are the underlying core responsibility of the provider. Robust SaaS solutions build in uptime and availability SLAs as a primary part of their business models, mainly so you don't have to. A critical requirement for your user directory store is 100% availability. Hosted LDAP services give you that at a much lower cost.
You don't need to invest in the infrastructure, code to make it highly available, or take the time and effort to manage a SaaS solution.
Standard APIs
Virtual LDAP services are the central source of truth for user credentials. As a result, there are a variety of ways those user identities can be consumed for internal and external services. The core of a cloud-based LDAP solution is authentication via the LDAP protocol. Hosted LDAP solutions support applications and a variety of devices as well: macOS, Linux, and others. LDAP is a standard protocol that most devices and services will support. Also, the LDAP protocol is widely understood by the IT community.
For cloud servers, a Directory-as-a-Service® solution enables access to Windows and Linux-based servers through native protocols such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or SSH. Additionally, Windows, Mac, and Linux desktops/ laptops are supported.
Perhaps one of the most critical reasons organizations choose to host LDAP solutions is security. How can IT admins easily enforce users to use SSH keys or rotate passwords? How can they easily review who has access to their core systems? A single set of user credentials for access to an organization's IT resources is common in older-fashioned models. While that is much easier for the employees, it also creates a significant point of risk. Keeping one, central, source of truth and letting that propagate properly is critical to keeping your identities secure.
Cloud-forward organizations are leveraging services that reduce their costs, increase their security, and let their best and brightest work on their core business needs. User management is an extremely critical part of the IT infrastructure but generally not a core activity to a company's business. Consequently, it's an excellent candidate to leverage as a service.

ANDY MURRAY's camp is confident he will make a full recovery and return to his best after playing against Roger Federer in Glasgow last week.
Murray returned to the court for the first time since Wimbledon after a hip injury cut his season short. He has targeted a return in Brisbane at the turn of the year and hopes to be fully fit for the Australian Open.
And his coach Jamie Delgado believes he is on course, and says he suffered no adverse effects from the exhibition match with world No2 Federer.
"His body recovered well after that. We are confident and hopeful that he will be back to his best," Delgado told Sky Sports.
"We are in the process now of getting ready for a few weeks to get a pre-season block together to get some good players to practise with and pick up that level.
"The plan is to start in Brisbane in the first week of the year, there is a week's gap between that and the Australian Open."
Murray has dropped to 16th in the world having not played for over 100 days and will face a tough draw in Australia.
But Delgado said Murray's spirits were lifted after meeting his fellow professionals in London at the ATP Tour finals.
He said: "It was great to be back and see all the guys again and also to give him the feel of coming to a tennis event. He hasn't been to one for a few months.
"He is missing that a lot. He will need that, practising with those guys over the next couple of months to get him ready for next year."
Murray was out practicing with Dominic Thiem and, despite appearing to limp, was in good spirits. Playing against Roger Federer for surely helped Murray in getting back the momentum.
Roger also praised the fact that how Andy showed up at the charity event & played a full fledged match despite not getting fully fit. He could have deployed someone else to play, given the fact that all the tickets were sold out but the Former World no. 1 showed up & played a fantastic match against Federer.Federer and Murray locked horns last week at Andy Murray Live ahead of this week's ATP World Tour Finals in London.
He was certainly shocked by how good Andy Murray was during their Charity Match last week & amount of support he was getting from the crowd.
The 30-year-old recently welcomed his second child with wife Kim.
Murray's brother Jamie also gave an update after the event in Glasgow and thinks he'll be back on form very soon.
"He seemed to be moving pretty well, I thought," he said.
"I think his goal is obviously just to get ready for next year and be, you know, fit and healthy for Australia."

* U.S., China working on six memorandums of understanding
* Aussie falls as China's Dalian port bans Australian coal imports
* Frankfurt, Paris bourses expected to rise at open
* Minutes of Fed's Jan 29-30 policy meeting provide some relief
* Asian stock markets: tmsnrt.rs/2zpUAr4
By Daniel Leussink
TOKYO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Asian shares pulled ahead to fresh 4-1/2-month highs and U.S. equity futures rose on a Reuters report that the United States and China have started to tackle the stickiest issues in their trade war.
Spread-betters expect Frankfurt's DAX and Paris's CAC open up half a percent and 0.4 percent, respectively, and see London's FTSE basically flat.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged up 0.1 percent, giving up some earlier gains after hitting a peak last seen in early October.
Australian shares gained 0.7 percent, closing at a six-month high, but the Australian dollar tumbled sliding on fears a ban on the country's coal by a Chinese port would hurt its already slowing economy.
Japan's Nikkei ended 0.1 percent higher.
U.S. stock futures gained 0.2 percent.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.1 percent, while Chinese blue-chips were last down 0.2 percent, giving up their gains after hitting their highest since early August last year.
Investors have been cheered over recent days by signs of progress in Sino-U.S. trade talks. The trade war between the economic giants has roiled financial markets over the past year.
The United States and China have started to outline commitments in principle on the most contentious issues in their trade dispute, marking the most significant progress yet toward ending a seven-month trade war, sources familiar with the negotiations told Reuters.
Negotiators are drawing up six memorandums of understanding on structural issues: forced technology transfer and cyber theft, intellectual property rights, services, currency, agriculture and non-tariff barriers to trade, the sources said, as the two sides push for an agreement by March 1.
That marks the end of a 90-day truce that U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to when they met in Argentina late last year.
Trump had suggested on Tuesday he was open to pushing off the deadline to complete negotiations, saying March 1 was not a "magical" date.
Sentiment also got a lift after the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday affirmed it would be "patient" on further interest rate rises.
"We must be a little bit careful that if the trade negotiation would be ended with a temporary success, that could in turn mean the Fed might restart their monetary tightening," said Yoshinori Shigemi, a global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management in Tokyo.
On Wall Street, all three major U.S. equity indexes ended in positive territory on Wednesday after minutes from the Fed's Jan. 29-30 meeting indicated policymakers see little risk to leaving rates alone, for now.
"The bar to restarting rate hikes in the near term seems to be quite high, with several participants arguing that rate increases would be necessary "only if inflation outcomes were higher than in (the) baseline outlook"," Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note.
"The upshot is we now expect the Fed to leave rates unchanged throughout this year, before a further deterioration in economic growth forces it to cut rates by a total of 75 basis points in 2020," he said.
The Fed signalled it will soon lay out a plan to stop letting go of $4 trillion in bonds and other assets, though policymakers are still debating how long their newly adopted "patient" stance on U.S. rates will last.
In the currency market, the offshore Chinese yuan firmed to its strongest level since July last year on hopes of further progress in the Sino-U.S. trade talks, and was last trading at 6.7076 per dollar.
The onshore yuan last changed hands at 6.7056 yuan per dollar after touching its strongest in three weeks.
The Australian dollar was in the spotlight, sliding more than one percent after customs at China's northern Dalian port banned imports of Australian coal and said it will cap overall coal imports for 2019.
The Aussie had gained more than half a percent early in the session after employment numbers for January beat expectations though it then reversed course as the underlying soft outlook for the economy reinforced expectations of a possible rate cut this year.
The Aussie was last trading at $0.7097, down 0.9 percent on the day.
The euro held steady at $1.1331. Purchasing manager indexes for the euro zone are due on Thursday and investors are also eyeing the release of minutes from the European Central Bank's January meeting later in the day.
Against the Japanese yen, the dollar was about 0.1 percent lower at 110.765 yen, moving off a seven-week peak of 111.13 reached last week.
Japanese manufacturing activity contracted in February for the first time in two-and-a-half years as factories cut output amid shrinking domestic and export orders, a private business survey showed on Thursday.
In the commodity market, crude prices rose more than 1 percent on Wednesday to their highest in 2019 on hopes that oil markets will balance later this year.
Oil prices were also helped by output cuts from top producers and U.S. sanctions on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members Iran and Venezuela.
U.S. crude was last up 0.3 percent, or 17 cents, at $57.33 per barrel. Brent was 0.1 percent, or 5 cents, higher at $67.13.
Gold was steady at $1,338.50, close to a 10-month peak of $1,346.70 scaled on Wednesday. (Editing by Jacqueline Wong & Shri Navaratnam)

text: After The Holocaust, the United Nations General Assembly came together and passed the Genocide Convention. The agreement and idea was to prevent genocidal acts & punish criminals who slaughter victims because of an ethnic, religious, or national group they may belong to. However, Post- World War 2 genocide events have continued to happen after the U.N and people all around the world vowed never again. There has been a reoccurrence of events where massive amounts of people have been deliberately killed from particular ethnic groups & nations and many of the perpetrators have never been convicted or punished for their crimes against humanity. What exactly is really qualified to be termed a genocide? The term "ethnic cleansing" has been used to describe mass torture/murders like the crisis in Darfur instead of genocide, and Aleppo is one of many heart breaking situations where the term "genocide" is fitting. We, humanity, have not effectively learned enough from the mass extermination during the Holocaust or any other similar atrocity evidently. The world is forced sooner or later to be aware of what is going on whether some of us try to ignore it or not. Those of us who are immensely sadden by what is happening continue to feel disgusted, impassioned, & mournful as we pay attention to all that is unfolding. What is happening in places like Aleppo is a repeated pattern that may not always be consistently televised or included heavily in the media. As sickening as it is, there are photos and footage of children, sweet innocent babies, that have been dismembered, bloodied, and attacked…images that actually need to be seen despite how horrible they are. Families displaced, bombed, tortured, whole lives shattered, and their crying pleas are gut wrenching and extremely painful to see & hear but should not be ignored or forgotten . There are politicians & country leaders that are also responsible for murdering countless people, just as contemptible as 'warlords' and terrorist groups like Isis. Yet, only certain types of war crimes, mass killings, and attacks towards groups of people are considered genocidal. However, no matter how we may try to relabel it or pick and choose just what is a genocide act, the truth is: The term Holocaust, which is also defined as the mass slaughter of people, is a evil part of humanity's history that was supposed to never happen again in modern societies, but it has shamefully occurred over and over.

I have always wanted to buy a kayak. Is this because I just really like the way that it would look on top of my jeep? Oh yes I can be that shallow. Or do I want to be the kind of person that owns a kayak, and lives one of those lives where you can just jump in the river any time? I never really knew the answer to that question. I have kayaked a couple of times and loved it. Always saying afterwards, why don't we do that more often? Of course my older brother telling me stories about snakes dropping out of trees onto unsuspecting kayakers is a little frightening. I really don't like snakes. But I have always given myself the excuse, "well what would you do with a kayak?" (Besides being so proud of it on top of the Jeep?) "You don't even know anywhere to use it." Oh and yes I do talk to myself like that. 🙂 And then this weekend I found it. The most perfect place to drop your kayak in the water, forget that the rest of the world beyond the water, your kayak and the trees (and yes forget about the snakes) exists. I have large creeks/small rivers running through my town and I have always said wouldn't they be wonderful to kayak down. But there are lots of very well posted signs for no kayaking because of random damns.
Well we found a park at the edge of my town. You have to walk/drive through town to get to it, and it really is hard to find, but we found it by accident. Isn't that always the way though? Just when you aren't looking for something, you find it. It had two beautiful playgrounds for the kids, baseball fields and basketball courts. And while we are playing on the playground, and oh yes while I still have full function in all my limbs I play too, I heard a waterfall in the background and noticed a bridge. So we went adventure seeking. It turned out to be a damn, surprise surprise! But we kept following the trail, around more baseball fields, and saw what we thought was the beginnings of a trail into the woods. Well on further investigation, the trail turned out to be a kayak starting point. And while we were very disappointed that that meant the end of our adventure, YEAH kayaking!
So now I no longer have an excuse. It is time for me to purchase a kayak. Probably two since my husband is going to want to go too. Course it's going to have to wait till spring now, because I am not a polar bear. But just imagine how good my Jeep is going to look. 🙂

Provost Jody Funion has turned his office, a yurt on Schaaf lawn, into a bed and breakfast for students disgruntled with their living situation in residence halls.
"You know, I've always said I'm here for whatever students need," Funion said. "And it seems like students need an escape from the residence halls."
Funion's original yurt was finished at the beginning of this school year as an office space meant to be more accessible to students. Over the course of the fall semester, it turned into a fun hang out spot for students and eventually a place to spend a night away.
Students began sleeping in the yurt when Funion offered residents of the Saylor-Ackermann basement a place to stay during the yearly flooding.
"It just kind of snowballed from there," Funion said.
Halfway through this semester, two more yurts were built to accommodate the influx of students, but Funion says he's still having trouble keeping up.
"I think I'm currently housing about a hundred students each night," Funion said. "I've had to hire staff to help with the cleaning and cooking, but the student reactions are what keep me going."
Because the yurt was originally meant to be an office space for Funion, many students staying in the bed and breakfast are sleeping on office furniture and, in some cases, the ground.
"I actually prefer the cold, hard ground to the beds offered by ResLife," Janet Smith, a sophomore sociology major who was originally staying in Saylor-Ackermann, said. "Plus, it's right in the middle of campus."
The yurt offers complimentary continental breakfast for patrons, including a variety of coffee and tea and vegetarian and vegan options. On Friday mornings, Funion and his staff get up early and cook made-to-order omelets and pancakes.
Students won't miss the programming off
ered in residence halls either, as Funion does stand-up comedy nightly in the main yurt.
Although the yurt has swayed from its original purpose, Funion said running the bed and breakfast has fulfilled his hope of becoming closer with students and understanding their needs. He hopes he can do even more for students next semester.
"We're actually planning to add a restaurant over the summer," Funion said. "My team and I are working to make it possible to pay for food as well as reservations with CapBucks."
The bed and breakfast is so popular that reservations are booked well into next year, and many students are planning on making the yurt their primary home for the coming semester.

When reality TV star Donald Trump came down the golden escalator, few predicted he would end up elected the leader of the free world - and we all remember how that ended. Now, an equally surprising candidate might be about to shake up the US Senate.
The 46-year-old singer-songwriter, Kid Rock, known internationally for his popular single All Summer Long, has hinted online that he could be preparing for a run for the US Senate.
The musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, tweeted a link to a website which has a picture of Ritchie with a taxidermy deer underneath a banner saying 'Kid Rock '18 For US Senate'.
"I have had a ton of emails and texts ask me if this website is real..." Rock wrote, "The answer is an absolute YES." A following tweet read: "Stay tuned, I will have a major announcement in the near future - Kid Rock"
The same statement was posted to the Kid Rock website where, at the time of writing, one fan had commented: "Hopefully it will be about the new album or new tour. Can't see you getting into politics".
Rock is a renowned Republican. In 2012, he supported the candidacy of Mitt Romney and recently, Donald Trump. In one Huffington Post interview from 2013, Rock say he identifies as a libertarian.
When asked about the tweets, a representative for Rock referred IBTimes UK to the singer's Facebook page. Other reporters noted on social media that Rock has not filed with the Federal Elections Commission.
If the news is true, it's not yet certain what policies Rock might stand on but the website he tweeted seems to show some campaign slogans in a box near the bottom. "In Rock we trust", one reads. "Welcome to the party", says another. "You never met a politician quite like me," reads a further slogan.
Rock is a Michigan native, were he to run in the state in 2018 he would be against Democratic senator Debbie Stabenow.
Stabenow responded to the speculation with a tweet saying: "I know we both share a love of music. I concede he's better at playing guitar and I'll keep doing what I do best: fighting for Michigan."

Sullivan Glove Co. has been building gloves in Oregon since 1941... When it came to designing what we believe to be the perfect lightweight riding and everyday glove, it only made sense to work with them. The idea behind this glove is something that will be easy to get in and out of but not fan out and fight with your jacket and shirt sleeves. Too many years spent with a glove that ultimately folds down against your cuff creating an uncomfortable, annoying situation. The Hermann Oak vegetable tanned "snug em up" closure ties them in with Ship John's roots and will patina to a rich brown over time as your gloves break in and soak up the sun on out on the bike. The mash-up of glove stylings mskes for a unique design (silking lines, rough out un-hemmed gore (gusset), short rise, .5" hem). The deerskin build offers great comfort, grip and protection from the elements.
• Made in Bend, Oregon USA by Sullivan Glove
• Soft deerskin with a veg-tanned cowhide closure
• Solid brass cymbal snap
Sizing information:
Please measure around your palm as illustrated below... If you don't have a soft tape measure.. use a string, mark it, lay it flat and measure it. This will give you your general size. If you like more or less room you could go up or down from where you land (For instance, my hand measures 9" but I went down to a size 8 because I prefer a more snug fitting glove.)
