Live Kernel Update Tools
Kpatch and kGraft
The idea of applying kernel patches on the fly and not needing to boot a new kernel is basically great. Whereas the overhead for a few systems is manageable, the coordinated reboot of hundreds or thousands of nodes in large deployments is a tour de force. The ability to apply remedies on the fly without much ado is a good thing, but it can take a while for the technology to reach the end user. Currently, it is still completely unclear where the journey is heading.
Advantage Red Hat
The Red Hat solution has some identifiable advantages over the SUSE idea. The fact that you do not have to patch the kernel to support live patches is certainly helpful. Also, the ability to field errors currently seems to work better in Kpatch than in kGraft.
Viewed superficially, both solutions seem to do the same thing, if you do not dig deeper into the topic. The differences only become apparent in use or during installation, which is so much easier with Kpatch than with kGraft – not to mention Kpatch's superior documentation.
The question always arises in kernel-related features as to where the solutions are headed. Both SUSE and Red Hat have announced that they want to see their live patch solution become part of the official kernel in the foreseeable future. For this to work, however, they must have the approval of Linus Torvalds, who has repeatedly made a name for himself in the past as a kernel Cerberus.
Torvalds also is known for not being amused about having multiple implementations in Linux for the same or similar features. Torvalds likely will not wave both kGraft and Kpatch past. Conceivably, one of the two solutions will prevail and the other will be ousted, or Torvalds will push for a joint venture, thus spawning a third solution combining the advantages of both systems.
If you want to try out Kpatch or kGraft today, you will not find matching packages listed in the openSUSE community version or in Fedora, which means a massive amount of manual work at the moment – for SUSE significantly more so than for Fedora.

Washington Voters Pass Big Soda-Funded Initiative 1634
Cancer Advocates Oppose Preemption of Local Control That Puts Public Health at Risk
OLYMPIA, Wash.—Washington voters passed Initiative 1634, which removes local control and eliminates the ability for local governments to pass sugary drink taxes to benefit their communities. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network opposed this initiative.
In response to the election results, Mary McHale, Washington government relations director for ACS CAN, released the following statement:
"We are very disappointed in this outcome. Initiative 1634 was written and funded by the soda industry, which is why large soft drink corporations spent millions of dollars to mislead and confuse voters on the real intent of this measure – to protect their profits.
"The soda industry has blocked, or preempted, the authority of local governments in Washington to make their own public health decisions. This preemption strategy has been used by Big Tobacco for years to remove local control.
"Many important public health policies are passed and implemented at the local level. Local lawmakers are critical in passing and implementing policies such as sugary drink taxes that help prevent obesity and fight the related cancer risk. While states should set a minimum standard for public health protections, they should not prevent local governments from going above and beyond that minimum to benefit their communities.
"Given that nearly 18 percent of cancers are linked to weight, and sugary drink consumption is tied to excess weight, it's critical to make sure communities can explore innovative options such as sugary drink taxes to help improve health and fight cancer. Unfortunately, Washington communities won't have that choice now."
About ACS CAN
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is making cancer a top priority for public officials and candidates at the federal, state and local levels. ACS CAN empowers advocates across the country to make their voices heard and influence evidence-based public policy change as well as legislative and regulatory solutions that will reduce the cancer burden. As the American Cancer Society's nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate, ACS CAN is critical to the fight for a world without cancer. For more information, visit www.fightcancer.org.

There was a short hiatus as we were gallivanting around Europe for three months. We left in early autumn and have returned in late winter.
Prior to leaving we planted garlic and broadbeans, which with the help of friends and the watering system, are growing strongly. Starting to clean up the spent summer crops yesterday I harvested these bean seeds. The strong, healthy seeds in the larger bowl will be used to grow next summers crop. The smaller seeds, some damaged by too much rain, will be used as part of a green manure crop.

The WESS is a simple strategy designed by me for a better understanding of online marketing for beginners. It is a combination of four joint pillars of online marketing.
Simply stands for Website management, Email marketing, Social media marketing, and Search engine optimization.
These four are vitally important for the success of any online business.
1. Website Management
This is the very first step and this includes many aspects like the Theme, Pages, Analytics, CRM and etc.
2. Email Marketing
It includes things like Segmentation, Automation, Lead generation, Funnels and etc.
3. Social Media Marketing
It includes Content creation, Analytics, Engaging and etc.
4. Search engine optimization
It includes Backlinks, Keyword Research, Increasing CTR, Understanding KPI's and etc.
For every successful website, these four are important ingredients and they should work mutually to make an online business successful.
There are also other important marketing streams like App marketing and etc but these are the main markets you need to look at into from the start as a business.

There is no doubt about it, Namibia, full of stark contrasts, endless blue skies, dramatic scenery and sand dunes that go on forever, is still one of the most breathtakingly beautiful countries in Africa, and one of the biggest!
If you have never been to this land of contrasts and heat, you can be forgiven for thinking that none of the largest mammals and carnivores could possibly have found their own ways of adapting to this unforgiving environment, but they have!
The majestically beautiful Oryx is one example of an animal that is highly adapted to this harsh terrain, surviving in an environment where most other antelope would quickly perish. They have learned to retain enough water from their diet to survive, conserving enough water to withstand the extreme heat as well as a body temperature that can climb to 40 degrees, in order to cool the blood that flows to its brain! Sheer natural genius!
Oryx will rest in the shade of a tree during the hottest part of the day, or, if no tree is available, will turn their bodies so that most of their body surface faces away from the sun, in addition to this, their very clever colouring acts as a natural heat deflector.
Desert Rhino's are lone rangers, with a horn that is slightly longer and thinner than the regular Namibian black rhino, which helps them to forage in this barren environment. They are also mostly nocturnal in order to avoid the excessively high daytime temperatures. These Rhino's are experts at crossing this massive desert area, and generally have home ranges of about 500 square km's!
As loners, the only time you will find a desert Rhino that is not alone will be during the two and a half years a mother rhino will stay with her calf in order to teach her baby how to survive in these tough conditions!
If you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a desert black rhino against the rich red backdrops of the desert sands, it is an image you will carry for the rest of your life of sheer majesty! Although becoming near extinct by the 1980's, the hard work of organisations such as Save the Rhino Trust and others have helped to increase the population of these national treasures five times over!
The differences between the African Elephant and the Namibian Desert Elephant are obvious in the size of their feet, which are larger to make it easier for them to move with ease across the soft desert sand, after all, having to travel up to 200km's to find water would be very difficult with dainty feet carrying such immense weight in soft sand!
Namibian desert elephants are also leaner and taller than the African Elephant due to their diet, with slightly longer trunks which allow them to dig down into the sand to find underground water. While the elephants in Etosha drink up to 200 litres of water a day, the Namibian desert elephants in the north only drink water every three to four days, and because there are fewer plant species that could be a source of nourishment, the tusks of the Namibian desert elephant are more brittle.
Although genetically the same as the lions in Kenya, Namibian desert lions have adapted to survive conditions their African cousins never would! They need very little water, absorbing most of it from the prey they consume, an incredible adaptation for the king of all animals!
Namibian desert lions live on a diet of Oryx, Wildebeest, Zebras, Giraffes and Ostriches, and when food is really scarce; they have been known to attack elephants. Desert lions will travel great distances in search of prey, and surprisingly for a hot climate, have thicker coats than their cousins in order to deal with the cold night temperatures.
Namibia has gained international recognition for its conservation efforts in every species once considered endangered, especially in this country's arid areas. When an intensive research project on desert lions in Namibia was started in 1998, there were just twenty desert lions in the entire area, today, that number is closer to 150!
These beautifully adapted lions, elephants, rhinos and Oryx are the more visible aspects of the wildlife that makes a Namibian adventure truly spectacular, but under all this harsh, barren land that stretches as far as the eye can see, there is another world of small animals and insects who are equal masters of adaptation, as above, so below the desert sands of Namibia!
Take a 21st century overland tour for a face to face encounter with these ancient magicians of the Namibian desert in luxury and comfort with Africa4us, and experience it all with passionate local guides who have lived these experiences for over seventeen years and can spot a desert lion through eyes that are as good as those of an eagle!

Water Purifier comes with a lot of different brands in the market today. Most of them work the same way choosing one of the filtration technique. So how is one purifier different from others?
What should be your criteria to decide when choosing one of the numerous available?
My suggestion would be to check the Services provided by the selling company. Why do you think Airtel is still the top communication service provider in India despite a lot of other cheaper brands available in the market? Only because of the services provided by Airtel, that consumers get addicted to and do not feel satisfied by any other service provider. Similarly, Water purifier manufacturing companies offer services to the buyers, which helps in maintaining the life of a purifier. Simply buying a purifier and getting it installed doesn't work forever.
There are servicing needs which mainly includes:
The first step is installing the purifier, which generally is something companies offer to send a technician to your home.
Then comes the warranty. Mostly the first year is a free warranty period. So make the best use of it.
Once the first year of the warranty is over, then the services offered become paid. So some people opt for the Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC), others call when needed.
Opting for AMC is always advisable since it is easy on your pocket and saves you from destroying your purifier.
When going for AMC, do make sure it includes regular inspection of the filter and changing of the filter after every 12 months.
A good company will offer you to get the filtered water tested so that you can confirm if the purifier is at its best performance. Sanitizing the dispenser and inspecting the held water are some great efforts made by purifier companies.
Lastly, don't forget the repairs. After all, the purifier is also a piece of machinery. It can need repair anytime. Companies will charge you for the new parts in case you don't have the AMC.
Keep in mind the above mentioned factors and then decide upon which water purifier to buy.
If you still need help, you may contact Health Zone RO at +91 9811442551 | 011-47087441 to know more.

Whether she's producing a hip-hop song promoting voting, managing the videotaping of a panel discussion to air on TV, or utilizing social networking sites to reach the masses, Davis stays at the cutting edge of emerging technology. Her new media savvy coupled with traditional PR training results in highly effective multimedia campaigns that shape public opinion and impact legislative policy.
Armed with a laptop in one hand and a digital recorder in the other, Davis transmitted audio reports from the United Nations Climate Conference in The Netherlands to radio stations across the United States. She coordinated a press conference for the US Delegation to the UN World Conference on Racism in South Africa, resulting in front page articles in newspapers in Africa, Europe, and even the Washington Post in DC. In 2000, the pioneer in new media made history coordinating a technology crew for the first online elections ever. Her "Digital Hit Squad," was featured in national media including USA Today.
Davis coordinated publicity campaigns for a host of notable clients, among them, civil rights leader, Dr. Joseph Lowery and The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. She also directed all communications efforts for the highly successful Unity '04 Voter Empowerment Campaign comprised of 150 of the nation's most prestigious civil and human rights organizations. Associated Press, CNN, and People Magazine were convinced to run stories Davis pitched, and her clients have appeared on national radio and TV programs like Nightline, Washington Journal, and the Tavis Smiley Show.

The application and use of keywords is an essential element in seo training. Keywords lay at the very foundation of search engine optimisation because without them a website will not contain the information needed for search engines to pick it up. With further reference to keywords, the number of times a keyword is used on a website directly relates to the search engine optimisation incorporated and taking effect. Keywords are required to be relevant to the company and product a website promotes. Including invalid keywords can result in an entire website being thrown out by a search engine.
SEO training also involves teaching skills required in the use of HTML coding and copywriting text.

Stags' boss Steve Evans was pleased to see his side reap the rewards of his offensive team selection as they eased to a 2-0 win over Carlisle United this afternoon.
Second half-goals from strikers Matt Green and Shaq Coulthirst secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory for the Stags after another high quality display.
And the boss was full of praise for his front two of Shaq Coulthirst and Danny Rose, as well as opening scorer Green, who was deployed in a less familiar left-wing position.
"I thought Matt Green did an unusual role for us today but we wanted to be very offensive today. I wanted as many [attacking players] on the pitch to give us a shape and a balance that can score a goal," the gaffer said.
"It takes us a long time to get the goal but sometimes as a manager you get decisions right and decisions wrong and it was right to obviously give Matt Green that role where he can come from a little bit deeper.
"It's just a fantastic header and the boy Coulthirst has got the ability to do that. I've seen him do that at higher levels on a very regular basis – none more so than when I watched him as a very promising kid at Tottenham.
"I think his performance from start to finish was what Danny Rose can give you and we miss Danny Rose when he's not available to us. That doesn't mean he's the best striker we've got and he starts but he's invaluable if he's not starting and he comes off the bench."
The former Leeds United commended his side's never-say-die attitude after they went in at half-time arguably unlucky not to be in front.
"I think the supporters at half-time would have been shaking their head again [as to] why we're not in front.
"There's ricochets across the goal, the goalkeeper's blocked one from Danny Rose – it's a great volley, an instinctive volley – it hits the goalkeeper on the shoulder when he's going the other way and it bounces to safety.
"I thought we were really inventive. I thought we needed to get the first goal to give us a bit of confidence and I said to the boys at half-time, I don't really care if it comes in the 90th minute, let's be dominant in both boxes and take a chance if it comes and win a header defensively or a block if we have to."
After recent results haven't reflected the quality of the Stags' performances, the manager says players and supporters alike should 'enjoy their evenings' after today's excellent victory.
"I'm really pleased for them; I just said to the players 'go and enjoy your evening'. We've all had some long journeys and some difficult days and difficult nights.
"To the supporters that turned up today: go and enjoy your weekend. We've let you down recently; not by performance, not by effort, not by attitude, but we've let you down by not putting the ball in the net and maybe getting a bit sloppy as well at the other end."
Finally, the gaffer provided an update on the injury sustained by defender Krystian Pearce, who was forced off in the first half after landing awkwardly following a header.
"We think it's a sprain. He's gone up and won a header, the boy jumps into him and he rolls his ankle a little bit. We're hoping – you never know for 24-48 hours – we're hoping, the medical team are hoping, it's a sprain and anyone who's sprained an ankle knows that's probably a week or 10 days."

New York-based Marcum LLP (FY14 net revenue of $385.4 million) announced that it is expanding the Marcum Foundation from its historical roots in South Florida to become a nationwide charitable organization. The move will link the community service and charitable giving activities of all 17 U.S. Marcum offices under a unified umbrella.
The Marcum Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, will be active in all Marcum markets, currently including California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
"The national roll out of the Marcum Foundation is an expression of our firm's commitment to supporting the communities in which we do business," says Jeffrey Weiner, MP. "Community engagement is a core tenet of Marcum's corporate culture, and creating a national program to bring together the diverse charitable activities of the firm's various offices enables us to increase our impact by pooling resources, sharing successes and exchanging ideas."

November 17, 1999, Section A, Page 25Buy Reprints
Melania Knauss pulls up her black Calvin Klein sheath to show off her supermodel knees.
''I never wear skirts this long,'' says the girlfriend of Donald Trump with a pretty grimace, standing in the aisle of his plane, stocked with gilt fixtures, French impressionist paintings, a double bed and the creme-filled finger cookies the real estate king decrees ''the greatest.''
But politics requires sacrifices. And Monday's trip to Miami was a dress rehearsal for Mr. Trump's potential White House bid. So the amiable Miss Knauss was doing her bit, wearing conservative gray and black Calvins chosen by a publicist for the Trump modeling agency. But the Slovenian's stilettos by Manolo Blahnik gave her away as someone blissfully unfamiliar with rope lines.
Mr. Trump was making his maiden foreign policy speech to Cuban-Americans who adore his Castro-bashing. ''I'd have, personally, two words for him: 'Adios, amigo!' '' he told a large, cheering crowd, adding that he wanted the first hotel in free Cuba.
The flirtation of the Trumpster, as he calls himself, is the apotheosis of our Gilded Age. Our politics is warped by money, celebrity, polling and crass behavior, and our culture is defined by stock-market high-rolling, boomer narcissism, niche marketing mania, rankings and a quiz show called ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?''
''I love Regis,'' Mr. Trump says.
Why shouldn't billionaires play ''Who Wants to Be a President?''
''I've already got my own airplane,'' he says. ''We could save money on Air Force One.''
You gotta love a guy whose economic platform runs all of a page and a half and is a $5.7 trillion squeeze-the-rich tax plan that would make the Donald at least $750 million poorer. And there are more provocative plans to come.
Oddly, given so many years of Trump plastering ''Trump'' on every available surface, the builder and casino owner actually looked a bit shy when he saw the ''Trump 2000'' posters, with his own pouty kisser staring back, and Cuban-American fans at the Bay of Pigs Museum yelling ''Viva Donald Trump!''
He gave a tentative wave to his first rope line, but soon recovered enough to note that Steve Forbes never had so many cameras at the airport or a supermodel by his podium.
Mr. Trump does not live an examined life. He lives a quantified life. He keeps track of all numbers, the sentinels of success -- the number of magazine covers his girlfriend is on this month and the number of men who are dripping with lust for her; the number of zoning changes he has finagled; the number of stories he was able to stack on his building near the U.N.; the huge amount of money he was paid to do a clever ad for an online company, in which he looks down a girl's shirt, and the short amount of time it took him to do it; the number of favorable mentions in a Palm Beach publication about a club he has started at Mar-a-Lago; the number of working-class guys who call out to him.
''I am just very popular with the black populace,'' he says. ''When Puff Daddy has a party, when Russell Simmons has a party, I'm the person they call.''
He uses a kind of ego arithmetic. About the candidates, he demands: ''Did they make billions of dollars in a short period of time? No. Could they . . .? No.'' And: ''Hey, look, what's so good about these people? I do 'Face the Nation,' 'Meet the Press,' 'Larry King.' I think I do better than they do. They're boring as hell. They get no ratings and everybody turns off the set.''
He refers to W. as the anointed ''son of the president who should have finished the war'' and says he looks ''vacuous.'' He thinks Bill Bradley is ''not exactly Cary Grant.'' Al Gore has made ''dreadful mistakes,'' including Alpha Girl.
At the end of his first day as an exploratory guy, Mr. Trump was very tired. Almost too tired to brag. But he rallied enough at midnight, in a limo from the airport back to Trump Tower, to check out a big poster with his name on it and to muse about how much of Third Avenue he had built.
''I think the only difference between me and the other candidates,'' he summed up, ''is that I'm more honest and my women are more beautiful.''

Carlsbad man sentenced 7 years for drug charge
A Carlsbad man was sentenced in federal court on June 6 to seven years in prison for drug trafficking.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Jason Cunningham, 38, was arrested on an indictment in October 2017 and pleaded guilty in December.
A news release stated that Cunningham "played a vital role in furthering drug trafficking operations in Carlsbad by directing others in selling drugs after obtaining large quantities of methamphetamine, which he broke down into smaller amounts for further distribution."
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Pecos Valley Drug Task Force.

Our Lives Became Connected
September 25, 2018. I will forever remember that day.
The day before, we received an email asking us if we wouldn't mind our profile being shown to an expectant mother. We gave our permission after learning few details, fulling convinced that we wouldn't be chosen because "she has explicitly said she would like a family with no children. But we believe she needs to see your family." That was Thursday.
Then Friday came. With Zo in the car, I picked up Ro and O from school, then headed to our favorite spot for family photos where I met Zane. I received word that our profile had just been given and she would be taking the weekend to decide.
We went into family photos the way we had so many times before: Pregnant and expecting a baby, just having a baby, waiting to be matched, just bringing Zo home, expectant over the journey we *thought* we were on….I mean, literally every photo session with our photographer had included a chalk board with some sort of message regarding the growing/growth of our family.
When our photographer jokingly asked what our chalk board would say this time, we shared of the possibility unfolding. We all pondered, briefly, then decided that no; Rather than a chalkboard, we were just going to have our family photographed. Because…she wasn't going to choose us. There was no way!
My brain was swirling. Literally every single unknown phone call from the previous two months could have been from our foster agency regarding a new placement. Adopting a newborn? Sure, we knew it was a possibility. But…we thought adoption was sliding off the table. We thought fostering was the new chapter of our family's story.
This picture from that day cracks me up. Ro's face especially….purposeful on that day or not, it is the face he makes when he surprises me or tricks me. I look at it and chuckle that I indeed was surprised. The Lord surprised our lives in such a sweet way. Those who walked the next several weeks with us knew such joy and laughter filled my moments. The anticipation, the love, the excitement…this picture so perfectly shows what was to come.
I remember leaning over to Zane during the photo shoot and whispering, "you're about to be a Daddy to four." I wasn't serious. I was just letting my tongue try on the words. The words sounded nice. I had believed for years that the Lord had another child out there for us. And I had no doubt that at some point He would bring us and our fourth together. I just didn't know His timing was literally being viewed in pictures by our son's birth mother at that very moment. As she looked though our pictures, read our words, envisioned her son playing with our children, she had a stirring in her heart that only she can describe.
Her heart was stirred by and for our family. A humbled heart beating in my chest barely touches how I feel typing these words. The tears that sting my eyes are an outpouring of the Lord's grace in bringing our stories together. Adoption is hard, beginning from brokenness. And yet sometimes the beauty and the love made from the ashes just cannot be ignored. It is so strikingly evident.
I look at this picture and see the hope in my eyes. I see the contentment in my smile. I see the love on that swing and am so grateful this was captured. I see a strong man by my side unknowingly ready to weather what was about to come. His family was full. Yet he joyfully and faithfully made room for another. And those three kids…I knew they were full of love for each other; yet by God's kindness I had the honor of watching their hearts open for a baby brother. One that required them sacrificing their own snuggles with Mommy so she could snuggle him, just as all babies do. A chapter was ending and one was about to begin.
That night, our babysitter came over to watch those beautiful children while we went out on a date. Now, like many of our dates that aren't headed toward the latest Marvel movie or an Escape adventure, we weren't 100% sure of our plans. Just that we wanted time with each other. A warm meal, that remained warm the whole time we endulged, without interruptions except for the occasional, "can I get you anything else?" I cannot remember where we ate. For the life of me I can't remember. But I do remember us praying for the birth mother, for the birth father, for the family that would be chosen and for the relationships that would follow. I also remember us ending up at Target. We headed for the toy section to see if any super hero gadgets were on clearance.
Then I saw it. The cutest, softest, and cuddliest Elephant I had held to date. I wanted it. I had long said that whenever the Lord brought our fourth child into our home, I wanted his or her 'lovey' to be an Elephant. My dear husband, wise as he is, asked "do you think we should be buying this? Why don't we wait until we know if she chooses us or not." Keep in mind, we fully believed she *would not* choose our family.
I replied that we needed to have a stuffed animal for our next foster child to have as their own. Whether for this unborn baby or our next foster child, this Elephant needed to be in our home waiting for someone to love it.
Little did I know this would happen.
I look at his little face and I'm still filled with such joy and laughter. How silly I was to think I knew exactly what God would be doing next. God's plans, indeed, are always far better than whatever wishful thinking I come up with on my own.
When we came home from our date, I promptly went upstairs and sat the Elephant on the twin bed made up in the spare bedroom. I looked at it for a moment and pondered, perhaps for the first time, that she *might* choose us. Then I shook my head no, told myself to not give it a second thought, turned off the light and walked away.
One year ago she looked at our pictures for the first time. Today, I mailed her a letter filled with pictures of T and the latest "this is what he's getting into now" ramblings. Our lives were forever connected that day.
One week later we would meet face to face. Today we begin trying to set a time to celebrate together his first year of life. What a beautiful thing the Lord has indeed done. I know this full well.

At his final United Nations General Assembly as U.S. president, Barack Obama faces an uphill battle to compel countries — including his own — to take action for the world's refugees.
Obama's Leaders' Summit on Refugees is one of the headline sessions of this year's 71st UNGA and a "centerpiece of the president's trip," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power told reporters by phone on Friday. The administration calls it an "action-forcing event," meant to leverage the United States' "unrivaled leadership in terms of humanitarian assistance," to get other countries to do things they would not otherwise commit to doing, Power said.
In practice, that means the U.S. is pushing for commitments on humanitarian financing, resettlement, and host country conditions for refugees. Power expects pledges not just from big donors but also developing countries, where 80 percent of the world's refugees reside.
Both Obama's summit and the United Nations summit on migrants and refugees that precedes it Monday have drawn preemptive criticism from civil society groups, which warn that talking about problems instead of addressing them directly risks prolonging a painful status quo for the world's displaced people and migrants. Most groups want to see Europe and the United States commit to accepting a far greater number of refugees than they have so far been willing to do.
Refugees, climate change, aid and superbugs: Can solutions be found in New York?
The U.N. General Assembly has a full schedule, discussing the world's most pressing crises, from refugees to global health to climate change. Devex will be on scene as the week unfolds. Here's what to expect from the world's largest gathering of governments, U.N. agencies and development professionals.
Just as the Obama administration is using the occasion of the summit to compel other countries to take action, so are civil society groups seizing on the high-visibility events of this week to advocate.
"These Summits must go beyond stating challenges. They must expand resources, modernize systems, update strategies and combat the fatigue of refugees and receiving populations alike," said International Rescue Committee President David Miliband.
Here's a breakdown of what to expect on each summit goal.
Humanitarian financing
A record 65 million people are currently displaced from their homes. Twenty-one million of them have crossed international borders, of which 5 million are from Syria.
While the crisis in Europe — and the "burden" migrants and refugees have placed on countries there — has garnered far more media attention, developing countries host 80 percent of the world's refugees, according to UNHCR.
In many crises, aid funding is stretched to the point of failing to meet even the most basic needs. Seeking to raise more funds, the U.S. will argue that helping refugees and migrants where they are can prevent flight options — for example by boat across the Mediterranean into Europe.
"We saw that some of the very significant flight into Europe" by Syrians, Power said, "happened in part because individuals received text messages from the World Food Programme that their rations were being slashed, because the money had run out."
Refugee resettlement
The summit will push for more and safer avenues for resettlement.
"Providing legal avenues of admission, whether that's humanitarian parole or permanent resettlements, university scholarships, you're going to see a range of announcements by different world leaders," Power said.
The United States recently met its own commitment to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees ahead of schedule. That number will form part of the expected 100,000 the U.S. will accept this fiscal year.
Host country commitments
"Very significantly, I think you'll hear in this summit refugee-hosting countries, not merely the donor countries … announcing commitments to help the refugee populations that are within their borders gain better access employment and to education," Power said.
Crucial in this realm is the idea of integration: helping migrants and refugees to become self-sufficient, and economically contributing members of the host community. Many host countries limit refugees' access to the labor market as well as other national services.
For now, refugees "in underdeveloped countries [who] are looking to become self-reliant have had a very challenging time. The resources, the schools, the job markets, the social services are all very strained by large influxes of people," Power said.
This may also mean addressing the concerns of internally displaced people. Devex spoke with Rita Manchandra, research director at the South Asia Forum for Human Rights, who is working with the Women's Regional Network to propose a human rights tribunal for internally displaced women in South Asia. The network's members believe these women's voices are getting lost and hope to find support for their proposal in New York this week.
The idea of shared responsibility between developed and developing countries is in keeping with the tone U.S. and other donor country delegations have tried to set at other global summits in recent years. Both the Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa last year and the Paris climate conference placed a large emphasis on partnership, pressing developed and developing countries alike to contribute resources in the pursuit of mutual goals.
Power said she expects "dozens" of countries to participate in Tuesday's event. As of Friday, the U.S. organizers were still corralling commitments. "We're still in a world of countries coming to us and saying, 'this is what we're going to commit,' and us saying, 'actually that's not new or significant,' and then some of those countries going back to the drawing board," Power said.

Today is my birthday and I am leaving behind a decade to begin a new.
Change has always been difficult for me.
Today feels symbolic because the decade I am leaving was the most difficult ten years of my entire life.
While in it, all I wanted most was to run away!
Yet today I feel frightened to go.
I created my own private ceremony to say good-bye.
I knew exactly where.
First to count so many delicious blessings that surprised me through all the tribulations.
It feels holy inside my willow fort…so first I enter there.
Then on with my secret ceremony.
There it is–the symbolic gateway to a new time.
As I get closer I hesitate, holding on to what I know.
I don't want to go forward.
I feel frightened of the unknown.
But I do not have a choice…
I heave a heavy sigh.
Good-bye ten years.
Then step through…where a new story is waiting to happen.
Happy Birthday Jen.

Hollywood is peppered with child actors who made a name for themselves with their cutesy appeal and commanding skills in front of the camera. Some of them took their acting all through the rest of their lives, while others decided to take a break and focus on other things. Alex D. Linz is an example of the latter, and even though he has decided to truncate his acting career, he made enough of a name as a child actor to still incur relevance.
Alex D. Linz Biography, Age
Alex D. Linz was born in 1989 in the coastal city of Santa Barbara, California. Each year he celebrates his birthday on the 3rd day of January. He was raised by his parents alongside his younger sisters Lily Alice and Livia. His father, Dr. Daniel Linz is a Communication professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, while his mother, Deborah Baltaxe is an attorney. Early in his childhood, Linz's parents got a divorce, after which he went on to live with his mother.
Alex D. Linz was raised Jewish and had his Bar Mitzvah ceremony in his teen years at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles, California. He is of mixed heritage, having German, Irish, English, and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. However, he's an American national by birth. For his high school education, he went to Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, California. His university education took him to the University of California, Berkeley from where he graduated in 2011.
Alex D. Linz's full name is Alexander Daniel Linz. As a kid, he learned how to play the drums and guitar. His acting career began way before he had even graduated high school.
As reports go, Alex D. Linz told his mother when he was four years old that he would like to appear in television commercials. His mother obliged, and Alex later appeared in commercials for McDonald's, JC Penney, and other brands. He stepped up from promotional spots when he received guest roles in such series as Cybill, The Young and the Restless, and Step by Step. His breakthrough role was in the 1997 movie Home Alone 3, a retelling of the original 1990 movie Home Alone starring Macaulay Culkin. Despite the movie's low ratings, Alex D. Linz's acting was applauded, bringing him center stage as a child actor.
Alex D. Linz would go on to earn several more roles both in television series and movies. Starting from 1998 he became the voice of the character Franklin in the direct-to-video film The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald and its sequels. Linz lent his voice to Disney when he voiced young Tarzan in the 1999 animated movie Tarzan. He also got a major role when he starred as Gwyneth Paltrow's son in the 2000 romantic movie Bounce.
However, what he is most notable for are his preteen roles. In 2001 Alex D. Linz got to play the lead role in the comedy movie Max Keeble's Big Move. He followed that up with Race to Space, a family drama movie that was made in cooperation with NASA and the US Air Force thanks to the locations it was shot in. His next major movie was the 2003 Hanukkah-themed Disney film, Full-Court Miracle. In it, Linz played the lead role in a Jewish school's basketball team.

Alex D. Linz has had great success in keeping a lot of information about his personal life away from the public eye. His privacy was further strengthened when he took his hiatus from acting, as he was able to drop off the radar. Details about his relationships are not known to the public. However, the consensus is that at the time of this writing Alex D. Linz is living the single life without any children to call his own.
Net Worth
Even though his acting career didn't go beyond his teen years, Alex D. Linz was still able to make a good net worth for himself during his child acting days. His estimated net worth is $400,000. This figure, Linz was able to accrue from his prolific childhood and teen acting years. Chances are that the former child actor could be worth more depending on his current career path.
Alex D. Linz's height of 5 feet 8.5 inches tall can be described as "average." He has deep brown hair which is complemented by his deep blue eyes.

Bible Record
of Levi Dawson
Please Email Additions and/or Corrections to Webmaster
Bible of Levi Dawson Family of Washington County, Pennsylvania, transcribed and submitted by Kristy Rowley who adds: I received these copies 25 years ago from a very elderly great aunt who did not know what the connection with the Combs family was.
Mary Combs died February 26th, 1856
William Combs died February 11, 1858
Cuthbert Combs died April 3rd, 1858
Margaret Dawson died December 6th, 1871
Levi Dawson died July 18, 1894
Kristy notes:
- Cuthbert, William, and Mary Combs are all listed in the 1850 U.S. Census, East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. I believe Cuthbert is the Cuthbert Combs of Allegany County, MD. His age is listed as 85, which would put his birth at 1765. Right next to them in the census is my ancestor, Levi Dawson and wife Sarah (Patterson) Dawson.
- I believe the Margaret Dawson in the bible listing is Cuthbert's daughter (or niece?) Margaret Combs who married Thomas Dawson in Allegany County in 1820. Thomas and Margaret Dawson moved to Monongalia County, WV after 1830 and lived with their 12 children, Levi, John Franklin, Mary Jane, Fielding Shepard, William H., Eliza Ann, Ruth Ann, Elias H., Martha Ann, Buckner F., Joseph H., and Alfred Y. Levi was born in 1821, and by 1844 was in Washington County, PA. At the end of her life, presumably after Thomas' death, Margaret Combs Dawson came to East Bethlehem and lived in a little house on Levi's farm that he had built for her.
- By the 1860 census, the Combs family is no longer listed, but Levi, Sarah, and their young children are. However, Levi's property is now worth $8700, and his personal estate is $2389. I am assuming he inherited the Combs farm.

Electronic rock band LCD Soundsystem have announced that they will be releasing a brand new record titled 'American Dream'. The record is set to be the group's fourth studio album, and follows 2010's 'This Is Happening'.
Following their reformation in 2015, the James Murphy led electro outfit have continued to tease fans with promises of new material. In 2016, the band cancelled tour dates in Asia and Australia in order to complete work on a mysterious upcoming record. They have since debuted a number of new songs during performances at the newly opened Brooklyn Steel venue in New York, and their May 6 appearance on Saturday Night Live.
LCD's most recent album 'This Is Happening' peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200, and was supported by the popular singles 'Pow Pow', 'Drunk Girls', 'I Can Change', and 'Throw'.
The band have now revealed that they will be releasing their new record 'American Dream' on September 1. The album has so far been supported by two tracks titled 'Call The Police' and 'American Dream'.
[x_video_embed type="16:9″][/x_video_embed]
Here is the full tracklist for the upcoming album:

Backpack, from Mont Ventoux Journal
by Judson Evans
"weary from my ancient bundle…" (Petrarch)
Spasmed to the tugged cords of my scapulae, antibody backpack triggering spider web alarms at each slackening — daily bundle of scrap and sundries for various moody weathers of the mountain — sunglasses, knit wool cap, gloves, sweatshirt, maps, French dictionary, notebook — core samples, and exempla. Later, down from the heights, it would gather a set of antique keys from Arles. A vague plan for a wind chime or mobile — dangling from bonsai wire, four keys to guard the compass points — four celestial kings or protective deities. Then, the Avignon bookstore the beautifully worn bilingual edition (French and Japanese) of Basho's Oko no Hosomichi.
first edition−
black marker dedication
bleeding through the flyleaf
Receiving the transmission through my body — distant pings of a sunken aircraft, the book with his inscription sending its black box message. Throughout the night in a fever of words I ripped off t-shirt after sweat-soaked t-shirt grabbed from the stack in the partly packed suitcase. Had I dreamed the book, had the book existed? The passionate dedication of one man to another. I stood in the bookstore trying to translate : for my friend –or was it lover — in poetry and insomnia….? A whole cherry orchard burned. Graffiti heart pierced by three black daggers. Lost coordinates neither in nor out, above / below, the way the laurel torn from its once human branch can't be grafted — phantom limb….
idly broken off
in the toast
stem of the wine glass
SOURCE: Journeys 2017: An Anthology of International Haibun, Edited by Angelee Deodhar (CreateSpace, March 2017).
PHOTO: The author in Avignon, France, a few days before losing the used copy of Basho on the Metro in Paris.
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Mont Ventoux Journal results from a collaboration with the videographer Ray Klimek. The poems engage with the origin of "landscape" as a concept and as a genre in the arts, and with the world of Francesco Petrarch and his famous climb of a mountain in southern France — Mont Ventoux. This climb and its documentation in a prose text by the poet have been cited as the first example in western culture of an appreciation of "landscape." The climb is caught up, too, in Petrarch's complex relationship with his love and inspiration Laura — for whom he wrote the 366 poems of the Canzonieri — and set the motifs (and clichés) of love poetry up to contemporary pop songs . . .
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Judson Evans is Director of the Liberal Arts department at The Boston Conservatory, where he teaches a range of courses including poetry workshops. He was an editor and founding member of Off the Park Press, and published work in each of its three anthologies of poems responding to provocative contemporary painters: New Smoke: an Anthology of Poetry Inspired by Neo Rauch (2009); Viva la Difference: Poetry Inspired by the Painting of Peter Saul (2010); The Triumph of Poverty: Poetry Inspired by the Painting of Nicole Eisenman (2011). His most recent work has been published in (print journals) Volt; 1913: a journal of forms; Third Coast; and Green Mountains Review, and (online journals) White Whale Review and Arsenic Amethyst. He won The Phillip Booth Poetry Award from Salt Hill Review in 2013. He has collaborated often with actors, dancers, and musicians in Boston.

Committee Responsibilities and Duties:
The World Fellowship Committee grants funding for women who are already Fulbright scholars and wish to pursue their education in the United States or Canada in order to acquire the knowledge necessary to achieve greater heights in their chosen profession. We want to see women from all nations reach their optimal levels of education, which in turn will lead to each of them achieving their goals. A feeling of fulfillment will follow them as they return to their home countries, as they attempt to enlighten others, as they bring about a comfortable and sustainable way of life for themselves and their families. Every person whose life they touch will have been enriched by these scholars' presence, their knowledge, and the realization that one's dreams can come true… These women's accomplishments give others the gift of hope for a better world. Their hopes and dreams are the advent of their journey, and they are also sustained by this scholarship achievement to continue on when the going gets rough! All this is possible only because DKG's "key women educators" have helped to make this happen!
Awards Criteria and Application:
For any chapters or individual members who would like to apply for the Silver, Gold, or Platinum World Fellowship Award, I can supply you with all contact information for the 2018-2019 recipients. Simply email me and request the information for this year's recipients. The deadline for submitting applications for awards is March 1, 2019. It is time to be thinking about completing the requirements that will win you one of these awards of distinction.

text: Hi all! Thanks in advance for checking out my portfolio. I'm brand new to jquery. Been studying it on Treehouse. I used it to pull up my pages from the navbar. I designed this for mobile and desktop. I think it might still look ok on ipad not sure. I would just like some advice from anyone as far as how my code is written. I tried to keep it as organized as possible, but I feel like I get sloppier, the further I get into writing the CSS. It seems like things start behaving strangely because of the cascading (that's why I put that "Tweaks" at the end of the style sheet.) Also, any advice on writing better jQuery. THANKS!

I post this to let you know, as the title mentions it, that I made a trading diary, with google documents tool. This a generic spreadsheet which allows any trader to manage his trading (his risk, his pnl, his opened position, the orders...) with a trding diary. Every trader,should have one, and I mad mine with google docs. At least you must have an account to acces this spreadsheet.
Local Portfolio Handling - In my opinion carrying out a backtest that inflates strategy performance due to unrealistic assumptions is annoying at best and extremely unprofitable at worst! Introducing a local portfolio object that replicates the OANDA calculations means that we can check our internal calculations while carrying out practice trading, which gives us greater confidence when we later use this same portfolio object for backtesting on historical data.

This patch is similar to Blazer's patch of 3 range sniper.
The difference is the range boost can be modified in nightmare module, and it's weapon specific and class specific.
For example, the longbow can be set to 2-4 range for sniper when it's STR + SKL is greater than 30.
Note that you are not the only one enjoying this bonus, as your enemy can do it too.
Please use this to prevent further bug with non regular range.

Once a meadow…
…now our condo village.
I was on the chairlift with an older gent yesterday who said that this meadow – where our condo now stands – was once the 2nd most photographed spot in Colorado.
Funny – I didn't think to ask what the most photographed spot was : )
This is my last workday before a three-week vacation; I woke up at 2:13, thinking about work stuff, and never went back to bed. It took me a while to actually get started working, though – but it's still been a full day, justabout, already, although I have more to do.
There was a time when I never worried about work; it simply wasn't anything to worry about. Then I changed jobs. Changing jobs is something that folks like me (programmer types) used to do all the time; in the '90s, everybody just waved money at us and said "come do this!" "no, come do this!" But that stopped about fifteen years ago, and since then, I've worked for two companies – Fidelity for seven years, and GoDaddy for another 7.5.
It was easier to change jobs when my brain was more flexible; and this last change was difficult, because the *job* is so flexible; "agile" development seems to mean "bend over backwards to do three different things while riding a unicycle". Let's just say that it keeps me occupied.
Now I'm about to take my lunch break and head over to the ski hill for a few runs. Not a lot of runs, and not anything very vigorous, because I have – after all – been up since 2:13. But I'll be skiing, and for a po' boy from Flat Red Clay, Alabama, that's a wonderment.

Chase – Southern Comfort
Last week I took a little trip back to my home waters of the White and the Norfork Rivers for a Bachelor Party/ Fishing Extravaganza. The First two days of the trip were pretty tough due Bull Shoals running 6-7 Units non stop. On Sunday I meet my folks down at the Norfork which began a three day fish slam. We caught the tail end of the 13 year Cicada hatch which produced a few nice bows and cutthroats. I then switched solely to large streamers while my dad nymphed deep with scuds and sow bugs. We both pulled out some nice fish, but the larger browns were on streamers.
We left the Ozarks and headed back down to the Dirty for some serious bass fishing and I really wasn't prepared for what was in store. We headed to our place just east of Jackson, Ms which had two lakes managed solely for monster bass and blue gill.
We had two full days of tremendous top-water action which ended with a few nice 6-7 pounders showing up for some photo shoots not to mention the other 40+ fish in the 2- 5lb range.
Overall the trip was a blast, definitely the cure for my run-off blues.
Get out Bassin here along the front range and cope with the high water that we have been having.
~Chase Stewart – FRA Guide
