Kaseya Community

Patch automatic update settings remain after moving machine from one policy to another.

  • I'm trying to create a "SLA Zero" policy (basically, do absolutely nothing other than run an audit), and have applied this Policy to a machine group. Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I then moved my own computer into this group to see what would happen ...

    Almost everything disappeared, except one item: Patch Automatic Update is still scheduled for Thursdays at 10:41 PM ...

    Currently "Patch Procedure Schedule" is unchecked for this SLA Zero policy, meaning "no settings". In this case, this also seems to imply "do not remove existing settings".

    In a previous incarnation, "Patch Procedure Schedule" was checked, "Patch Scan" was scheduled to once in a blue moon, but "Automatic Update" remained blank. Still, when moving the machine into the machine group with the policy, the Patch Automatic Update is still there, still for Thursday night.

    And, I tried clicking the "Reset" button for the "Automatic Update" schedule, thinking this would erase any setting that might be there, but still no go.

    So, how do I go about creating a Policy that will completely remove the "Patch Automatic Update" setting on computers to which this policy is applied? Any takers?

  • I have found a work-around, but it doesn't feel safe, because if Kaseya patches it, then bad things may happen.

    Two changes to make this work:

    1. Schedule the "start on" date to be way in the future, like 2022

    2. Use the "Exclude the following time range", and enter the exact same time in both fields (ie. 12:00:00 PM to 12:00:00 PM). That's a 24 hours window :)

    When applying this policy to the machine group, the "Patch Automatic Update" was removed.

    But Lars, why did you do #1 if #2 is what fixed it? Well, I'm afraid that Kaseya may alter the behavior of the "Exclude time range" bit, so by scheduling the first patch to take place in 10 years, I'm pretty sure nothing will happen in a while...

  • Lars,

    That's an interesting take on things.  After moving the machines to the "sla zero" policy, if you select the endpoints and click "Clear Overrides" button on the Policy Management > Machines page, and then click the "Reprocess Policies" (or wait out the reapply interval you have configured on the Settings page), are the patch auto update settings then removed?

    Please let me know either way and I'll discuss options for better addressing this type of situation with our engineers.

  • No, I've cleared overrides and re-applied policies all morning, and nothing works to get rid of this. I just noticed that the same applies to the Audit portion. Since I have no interest in re-auditing SLA Zero machines over and over, I just scheduled the "Baseline Audit" and "System Audit" to grab all the info on the machine once. But, if the machine has all three audit options already scheduled, the new policy just overwrites the two that you've set, leaving the third (Latest Audit) with its original setting.

  • Lars,

    To follow up on this conversation, the issue you're experiencing is caused because the object within the policy ("Patch Procedure Schedule") is one of the objects that is configured to merge (rather than join) data.  Some objects, like Agent Procedures, are configured to join together when two policies (assigned to the same machine) include different data.  Other objects such as the patch object wouldn't make sense to join so, rather, the "winning" policy settings are used when the object is assigned to the endpoint.

    With schedules, the configuration is such that if a schedule is set in multiple policies assigned to a single machine, the policy assignment rules are enforced to determine which policy setting is obeyed and which is ignored.  When two schedules are set, the rules will determine which schedule to follow.  However, if one has a blank schedule, the blank schedule is ignored, even if that policy is the "winning" policy.  This same logic is used when a policy had been applied that contained a schedule, that policy is removed, and a policy with no schedule set is then applied to the same endpoint.  The blank schedule is ignored and the old schedule remains in place - this is exactly what you're seeing, and this particular behavior will remain going forward.

    However, planned for release in 6.3 is the ability to choose "none" as a schedule option.  This "none" option would overwrite any existing schedule setting.  Blank schedules will still be ignored, but the "none" setting - which is really just a blank setting with "special" rules - will clear the old schedule and resolve the issue you're currently seeing.  Standard Disclaimer:  This is planned for release into 6.3, but there is always a possibility it could be pulled (at this point, I'm fairly confident it will be there, but until it actually releases, I can't make a guarantee).

    Hope this helps!

Gypsy – Oh boy yeah, I hear you. Here I normally should be cutting grass or something – today 37 and stupid snow flurries again. Google rex institute and dew ponds (or something like that I forget) and you’ll see more detailed info. Links I thought I added ‘disappeared’ when I posted it. Also, google dew pints, but under images – gives better idea of the gradient, how shallow to make at edges. Been a huge workload for my friend’s husband – power goes off in their pasture up there all the time – getting a bit old with replaced hip to be carting buckets in high heat.

Wednesday, August 01, 2007 launch

I have never even heard of lila guide until my playgroup was invited to their launch party. Garrett had a great time drumming during the complimentary music class, and then we got to explore the Miami Children's Museum for a while. After that we had lunch with Daddy and got some shopping done, went by work and visited some friends. Busy day for the little guy! He had so much fun running around, and is pretty good about following directions. He is better about holding my hand now, and doesn't get into too much that he shouldn't. Lots of pictures, enjoy!

This is serious business, mom!
Look, I found stairs, yipee!
Through the tunnel and out the other side

Just checking out the room to see what I can get into!
Seriously girls, all I want to do is drive the boat . . .
Buttons and a steering wheel, I am in heaven!
Hope that took care of the picture fix for a few days!!!

  • The Path To Finding Better Followers

    Methods to Increase Instagram Followers

    Social media is very popular to nearly everybody worldwide. Most of the people is connected to more than one social network. One of the many ways of increase the exposure of a social network account is to gain as many followers as you can. Lots of people are now using their accounts in social media as an avenue to attain popularity. They introduce their beliefs, their talents and skills by posting some items like video clips to capture the attention of individuals in a certain network. Through this, many people are discovered and are featured on live telecasts for gaining popularity on social media.

    One of the most popular social media networks found today is Instagram. It has millions of active participants all over the world. Instagram has grown to become a very useful avenue, not only to the common public but also to the web marketers. This network is very fertile due to the fact that the market is already on the same pool and companies can easily set up the advertisement plan while observing the commonality of the likes and dislikes of the active users. The obstacle for marketers is to make a strategy to get followers that will become their loyal clients.

    For entrepreneurs that are seeking to establish their social media accounts, the easiest and quickest manner is to sign up with Facebook. Facebook facilitates its users to instantaneously follow their friends that already have Instagram accounts so these people can in turn follow them back. Commonly, the users’ friends and families are the first followers of their social media accounts and from there, their profiles get boosts as the accounts are being connected to the friends of their associates. As the accounts are earning followers, marketers can begin generating strategies for the sole purpose of influencing the target audience. Moreover, marketers can also gain more exposure by following as many other Instagram accounts.

    Another aspect that entrepreneurs should consider is the quality of pictures. One thing that can really get the attention of viewers is the quality of photographs. High quality pictures raises the standard of a certain person or company in the view of the network users. It’s easy to encourage a person to follow a certain social media account that features high quality shots. It is immensely important for marketers to make sure that the set of photos that they are intending to publish are of high quality before finally deciding to publish it on Instagram. A set of quality photos on Instagram accounts can get the marketers more likes, comments and Instagram followers which can definitely serve as their advantage from their competitors.…

  • Hiring a Data Backup Provider

    Protecting your company’s data should be one of your top priorities if you are a business owner. Data loss can happen for many reasons. The hard drive you are using to store your data might malfunction. There could be a fire in your office that destroys the hard drive and all of the data it contains. Losing all of your employee and financial records would be a big setback. The data loss will be much worse if you lose plans for future products that your company was in the process of developing. This is why you need to do everything in your power to make sure that all of your company’s data is properly backed up. This will make it impossible for it to be lost. Which company should you entrust with this crucial task? Here are some tips to help you make this very important decision.

    1. Which data backup providers are the big companies using?

    You should do some research to determine the specific data backup providers that are being entrusted with backing up the files of the world’s largest companies. It stands to reason that these data backup providers must be very good at their job. Otherwise, these multi-billion dollar companies would not do business with them. You should also find out which of these data backup companies also provide management services NJ.

    2. Talk to some of the most respected data backup providers to find out how your files will be protected.

    You should never simply hire a data backup provider based on their reputation. You should still talk to a representative of the company and get as much info as you can about the processes they use to backup the data they are entrusted with. For example, do they use the cloud for their data storage? It would be preferable to find a company that utilizes cloud technology. This is because your files could still be lost if the data backup provider uses a physical electronic storage device that could be stolen or damaged.

    3. What rates will the best data backup providers charge you for their services?

    You owe it to yourself to look around and compare prices. The amount of money that data backup providers charge will vary greatly. Therefore, you should not be in a hurry. Be patient and shop around in order to find the lowest price.

My Everyday

I was sitting around, feeling like doing SOMETHING but not knowing what. Then I realized that I have a whole ton of pictures I have yet to post into blogs...and since I'm being a bit lazy with my blog posts...that idea won.

Here are some pictures of my everyday. This is what I wear when I don't feel like doing my eye makeup.

It's always the same products:

Wolfe Bro's Essentials water activated color in brown.
Bitch Slap Cosmetics - some brown out of a five pan palette.
Face powder for a highlight.
Black liquid eyeliner - no wing.
Black pencil liner in the waterline.
Mascara - Sexy Curves of course.

I am looking for a more steady supply of that color brown. I don't think Bitch Slap sells it singly, and honestly, I'm not really crazy about ordering from there. There is totally nothing wrong with their service or their product...some of the reps are amazing people...I just don't like navigating the site. If you don't mind all means, buy their stuff. It's great. And I can't find this exact brown anywhere else.

The end.

Wow, and that's your everyday look? Girl, you rock!
My everyday look is no make up whatsoever!

Lillian Funny Face said...

You're so beautiful! That's a great everyday look, what do you have on your lips? :)

Concertina said...

Aww thanks guys!

Lillian...9 times out of 10 I have Carmex on my lips. I just can' be arsed with touching it up all if I DO wear lipstick the kids at work ask me what I'm all dressed up for. (I can have 30 pounds of eyeshadow on and they don't bat an pun intended.)

The other time I'm wearing Bonne Bell Lip Smackers in Dr. Pepper.

Veronica said...

This is a great look!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Not!  I'm done.  I've had enough.
And today we expect another, oh, three inches or so.  That yardstick says 18 inches-that's how much snow has fallen in February.  You know it's bad when your generator company sends an e-mail to remind you that it is "imperative" that you dig out so that there's three feet clear around your generator.
And yet....it's so beautiful!  The trees were covered with ice yesterday morning and they glistened.

I put on snowshoes (yes, snowshoes) to fill the bird feeders.  Both the birds and I were happy that I did-we had goldfinches, crows, black capped chickadees and blue jays at the feeders.  Good for all of you-there can't be much to eat out there in this weather.  I don't even begrudge the crows.

And yesterday, in the midst of all this winter, we saw a robin fly over the car.  Heaven only knows what that robin is eating.

Spring isn't far away!

Youth Video Art Exchange
OPENING PROGRAM (Tuesday 17:00-18:00) Welcome to listen and participate in an interview with the artists and the founder of the Video Art Exchange project. Lucas Vogt (FI) will talk about the background and methodology of the project, and three of the children will also be joining us from Odesa to comment on their experience as video artists. After the interview the necessary tools will be provided for members of the audience who are interested to try the method for themselves in the local urban landscape. EXHIBITION Odesa, 2015 (32'06 min) Durrës, 2016 (29'59 min) I gave these kids a video camera and told them they are video artists. And that I would show their work if they ever returned the memory card to me. The videos produced by Bogdan, Misha, Kirill, and Nikolai in Odesa, Ukraine, 2015; and the videos produced by Denis, Andi, and Egi in Durrës, Albania, 2016 will be exhibited as a part of the Dnipro Construction Festival program. The space is open each day 17 – 20. ~ The Video Art Exchange project started as a psychogeographic experiment, inspired by the theories of Guy Debord and the Situationists. You roam through the public space with your eyes open. Occasionally a group of children will enter the scene. If they look inspired by life and their surroundings, you offer them to embody the role of video artist. Children have a story to tell, and they see things adults do not. The tricky part is helping them express themselves without contaminating it with adult notions and ideas. We lend video cameras to groups of youth in their early teens, and give them free hands to document whatever they would like to show to children in other European countries. videoartexchange.com lucasvogt.com Thanks: Elvis, Alena, Ira, Adi, Fation, Marius, Mirjana The project has been supported by VISEK, the Finnish Cultural Foundation, and The Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland.

He landed a plane in the French Alps: there are no survivors

He landed a plane in the French Alps: there are no survivors -

A plane traveling from Barcelona, Spain, to German city of Dusseldorf with 148 people aboard crashed in the region of Digne, in the French Alps, and there are no survivors.

the French President Francois Hollande confirmed in a speech published by the newspaper Le Figaro that "no survivors" after the fall of the aircraft.

"the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve went immediately to the place," added the president, who explained that the accident is a "zone of particularly difficult access."

the plane that carried out the tragedy, which according to the French daily was 24 years old, was an Airbus A320 of the low-cost carrier Germanwings, a subsidiary firm Lufthansa, which was carrying 142 passengers, two pilots and four flight attendants.

the aircraft disappeared from radar screens in the Alpine region of Haute Provence and crashed near the town of Barcelonnette, as he said the agency Europa Press.

Meanwhile, according to information provided by the French radio station Europe 1, two helicopters from the Gendarmerie confirmed to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) which was located the device near Prads- Haute-Bléone, between Digne-les-Bains and Barcelonnette.

the specialized web Flightradar24 , which tracks flights, lost signals from the plane at 7:39 (when Argentina) when flying at an altitude of 6,800 feet (about 2,000 meters).

Germanwings is the low-cost subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, which was founded in 1997 and began operating in 02.

This airline operates to over 100 destinations in Europe, north Africa and the Middle East and the Iberian Peninsula reaches nine cities: Barcelona, Bilbao, Jerez de la Frontera, Madrid, Malaga, Valencia, Faro, Lisbon and Oporto, in addition to Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca.

This is the first crash of an airliner on French soil in 15 years, when in July 00 fell Concorde in Gonesse, near Roissy, recalled Le Figaro .

"Be courteous and tactful as well as honest and diligent. All your doings are publicly known, and must therefore be beyond complaint or criticism. Complainants like a kindly hearing even more than a successful plea. Preserve dignity, but avoid inspiring fear. Be an artist in words, that you would be strong, for the pen and tongue are swords."

That instruction was given to the Egyptian civil service five thousand years ago. It is still remarkably appropriate today. Especially when dealing with buyers and users of your services, products, or visiters to your Web site. Clear writing with plain words are so important to sales and marketing, I've decided to pass along some notes about words and which to watch while writing. I'll post them in COPYWRITING BRAINWAVES from time to time.

Activate. does not mean to set a machine in motion,or to prompt a person to action.
For instance: "he was activated by the best intentions" is wrong. Use actuate.

Actually. An unnecessary, meaningless word.

Adjectives. An adjective should describe a noun more fully, as say, a black coat. It is wrong to use adjectives to give the noun some needless intensification or limitation. For instance: grateful thanks, true facts, usual habits, consequent results, definite decisions, unexpected surprise, real danger, integral part, grave crisis. By avoiding this, you avoid hackneyed phrases and tautology.

Affect, effect. Affect means to have an influence on, to produce an effect on, effect a change in. Effect means to bring about, have a result.

(Other examples of plain words to be continued later.)

The Great Wall of China 2012

I trekked The Great Wall of China!
Looking back at the photographs it still seems unreal that I was in such an incredible place.

I trekked the wall with an amazing group of 22 people for 5 days and each day presented a different challenge.

I organised the trip through Action Challenge as a self funded, open challenge. Rather than having to commit to raising thousands of pounds for a specific charity, you pay the cost of the trip yourself and can then choose to raise money for the charity of your choice. I decided not to fundraise, however it was such a challenge to compete the trek I wished I had made the effort to gain some sponsorship.

I cannot praise Action Challenge enough, the trip was so well organised and really good value for money. We had a UK trek leader and UK doctor from Action Challenge who both met us at Heathrow Airport. On arrival to Beijing we were greeted by two Chinese guides, both stayed with the group 24/7 for our entire 10day trip. Their knowledge of the route, Chinese history and culture was fascinating.

I will post a few of the beautiful photos in a round-up post next week. Here's a taster...

Thank you xx

Trekking snack: Dark Chocolate Bark!

So tomorrow I fly off to trek The Great Wall of China for 10days!
I'm very nervous at the moment, but my rucksack and day sack have been packed with trekking clothes and equipment. I've also managed to pack quite a lot of snacks to keep me fuelled during the day long climbs along the wall.

My new cookbook: Practical Paleo has inspired me to make a snack, rather than rely completly on packs of nuts:
So I have made dark chocolate bark, inspired by the pepita goji berry bark on pg400 (yes it's a super long book stuffed full of recipes)

Dark chocolate bark:
1 pack of dark chocolate (I use Aldi moser roth 125g 70% dark)
1 knob of butter
1 handful of chopped walnuts
1 handful of pumpkin seeds
1 handful of cranberrys
Sprinkle of salt

1. Melt the chocolate and butter. I used a bowl over a pan of hot water, stirring little and often until all the chocolate melted.
2. Stir in the nuts, seeds and cranberrys. Grinding some salt over the top.
3. Pour onto a lined baking tray and leave to cool in the fridge.
4. Enjoy this tasty treat!!!

I will be taking lots of pictures with my new Panasonic Lumix SZ1 camera, hopefully will share the great photos and all my experiences with you on my return!!

Thank you xxx

Project Progress: Granny square decisions

Blogging gives a completly new perspective to my crafting!

The process of creating my granny square blanket post made me consider what I was creating. Seeing all the colourful squares laid out, I started to really love how it looked. After photographing the progress of my blanket and decisions I was taking, I started to question how it was going to look.
So I have scraped the decision to add more white to the borders and have been busy crochetting more granny squares!

I have over 160 squares completed now... sewing these together is going to be a challenge!!!

Thank you xxx

How to: Handmade ribbon blankie!

A friend of mine has recently had a little baby girl, so I was able to make another ribbon tag blankie. I thought it would be lovely to share the process with you, as its a quick gift that isn't boy or girl specific and different to all the babygrows new parents usually recieve.

I first made a tag blankie when my niece M was born. Now she is 8 months old it has provided endless hours of fascination for her; either rubbing the soft blankie on her face or 'tasting' all the different ribbon textures.

I followed a pattern from Lotta Jansdotter's simple sewing for baby book, adapting the instructions as I go, as reading every instruction carefully is not one of my talents, I much prefer to jump in and see how it turns out!

I like to use minky for the blankie material rather than cotton, plain minky for one side and a dimple minky for the opposite side, to give baby some lovely textures to enjoy touching.

I know white is probably not the practical choice for a new born baby, but I love the contrast of colours. It’s machine washable, so any mess can quickly be cleaned.

I selected lots of colourful ribbons in a variety of textures; velvet, grosgrain, satin, woven stripes and polka dot. I also found a use for a free gift from Mollie Makes magazine; cotton twill tape stamped with 'Handmade with love'.

I use inches as this is a very simple guide for me to use on my cutting mat, making gliding through with the rotary cutter a simple task.

Tag Blankie
·    0.5m of plain minky
·    0.5m of dimple minky
·    0.5m Lengths of different ribbons
·    coordinating cotton

1. Cut your minky to 13" squares (~33cm) using a cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler.

2. Cut your ribbons into a range of lengths between 3" and 5.5", making sure you have 4 lengths of each colour. Any larger than 6" and I have found baby can get their hands caught in the loops.

3. Lay one square of minky right side up, take a length of ribbon and fold in half wrong sides together. Starting at the top left corner begin pinning the lengths of ribbon along the edge of the minky, matching the raw edges of minky and ribbons. I decided to follow a rainbow sequence when pinning my ribbons in an order, however you can be totally random. Try to select contrasting lengths of ribbons next to each other to create interest.

4. After pinning all the ribbons along all edges of the minky, sew 1/4" along all sides to secure the ribbons into position. Then remove all pins.

5. Lay the remaining minky square on top of the ribbons and minky you have just sewn, right sides together creating a ribbon sandwich. Ensure all ribbons are enclosed in the sandwich.

6. Sew a 1/2" along all 4 edges, leaving a gap of 3" on the centre of one side to allow you to pull all the fabric through.

7. Trim all edges so there is 1/4" hem to reduce the bulk. Leave the 3" gap will full seam allowance.

8. Turn the blankie the inside out through the 3" gap, so the right sides of the minky are on the outside, with the ribbons popping up along all the edges.

9. Press the ribbons and edges of minky, folding the seam allowance of the 3" gap inwards and pinning into position.

10. Sew along each edge, as close to the edge as possible so that you secure all the ribbon ends in the seam.

11. You can then sew an additional row of stitching 1/4" from the edge to add some interest and secure the minky layers together… Extra reinforcement.
12. Done!!!

Here is my finished tag blankie along with a soft rattle toy I made using another pattern from Lotta Jansdotter's book, Simple Sewing for baby.

This is a great book for any crafty mum to be, or if you are looking for some new ideas for handmade baby gifts. It contains instructions and patterns for 24 simple projects, so you do not need to be a very experienced sewer. The simplicity of the patterns allows you to be creative with your fabric selections to create something baby, and hopefully the new parents, will love for years to come.

Let me know if you try to make a tag blankie, I would love to see your creations. If you have any questions along the way then get in touch and I’d like to try and help you.

Thank you xxx

Cloud Computing And SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System For SMB/SME

What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.   Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user’s data, software and computation.

There are many types of public cloud computing: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), Storage as a service (STaaS), Security as a service (SECaaS), Data as a service (DaaS), Business process as a service (BPaaS), Test environment as a service (TEaaS), Desktop as a service (DaaS) and API as a service (APIaaS).

The business model, IT as a service (ITaaS), is used by in-house, enterprise Information Technology organizations that offer any or all of the above services.

How Can Cloud Computing Help My Business?

When using software as a service, users also rent application software and databases. The cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which the applications run.

End users access cloud-based applications through a web browser or a light-weight desktop or mobile “app” while the business software and user’s data are stored on servers at a remote location. Proponents claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.

The origin of the term cloud computing is obscure, but it appears to derive from the practice of using drawings of stylized clouds to denote networks in diagrams of computing and communications systems. The word cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the standardized use of a cloud-like shape to denote a network on telephony schematics and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents. In the 1990s, telecommunications companies who previously offered primarily dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began offering virtual private network (VPN) services with comparable quality of service but at a much lower cost. By switching traffic to balance utilization as they saw fit, they were able to utilize their overall network bandwidth more effectively. The cloud symbol was used to denote the demarcation point between that which was the responsibility of the provider and that which was the responsibility of the users. Cloud computing extends this boundary to cover servers as well as the network infrastructure.

Cloud Computing Features and Benefits

These are just some of the most noteworthy features and benefits “Cloud Computing” provides:

Application programming interface (API) accessibility to software that enables machines to interact with cloud software in the same way the user interface facilitates interaction between humans and computers. Cloud computing systems typically use REST-based APIs.

Cost is claimed to be reduced and in a public cloud delivery model capital expenditure is converted to operational expenditure. This is purported to lower barriers to entry, as infrastructure is typically provided by a third-party and does not need to be purchased for one-time or infrequent intensive computing tasks. Pricing on a utility computing basis is fine-grained with usage-based options and fewer IT skills are required for implementation (in-house). The e-FISCAL project’s state of the art repository contains several articles looking into cost aspects in more detail, most of them concluding that costs savings depend on the type of activities supported and the type of infrastructure available in-house.

Device and location independence enable users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their location or what device they are using (e.g., PC, mobile phone). As infrastructure is off-site (typically provided by a third-party) and accessed via the Internet, users can connect from anywhere.

Virtualization technology allows servers and storage devices to be shared and utilization be increased. Applications can be easily migrated from one physical server to another.

Multitenancy enables sharing of resources and costs across a large pool of users thus allowing for:
o Centralization of infrastructure in locations with lower costs (such as real estate, electricity, etc.)
o Peak-load capacity increases (users need not engineer for highest possible load-levels)
o Utilization and efficiency improvements for systems that are often only 10″“20% utilized.

Reliability is improved if multiple redundant sites are used, which makes well-designed cloud computing suitable for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Scalability and elasticity via dynamic (“on-demand”) provisioning of resources on a fine-grained, self-service basis near real-time, without users having to engineer for peak loads.

Performance is monitored, and consistent and loosely coupled architectures are constructed using web services as the system interface.

Security could improve due to centralization of data, increased security-focused resources, etc., but concerns can persist about loss of control over certain sensitive data, and the lack of security for stored kernels. Security is often as good as or better than other traditional systems, in part because providers are able to devote resources to solving security issues that many customers cannot afford.

Get ready for a challenge like you’ve never seen before!  September 1st we’ll introduce the ‘Carry the Load’ challenge at CF classes.  All September long, workouts will be organized around carrying a load either as an individual or as a team (or both).  These workouts are still scale-able to all abilities and general class formats will remain the same.  You’ll just be asked to do a little extra and push everyone else to step it up as well.

We’ll have ‘test in’ and ‘test out’ days set up so you can see how you improve over the course of the month.  Test in sessions will be September 1 and 2 – additional class times have been added and all classes on these days will be the same:

  • 9/1: 7, 8, 9 AM and 1, 2, 3 PM
  • 9/2: 8, 9 AM (Holiday hours) **UPDATED

Please plan to attend one of these classes to get your baseline.

Be creative!  Bring your own weighted object or grab one at CF.

Click here or the sidebar icon to find out more.  Post any additional questions or comments or eggings-on below!

    Gonna be a good one for sure!
    We have lots of fave formats cued up for CFers build around the "carrying" theme! And of course, lots of regular CF leaving it up to your creativity to "pull your weight" through a circuit!
    Either way…it’ll be classic and certain to contribute to the usual witty banter of CFers. It’s also a great way for new folks to see how CFers get involved in these "specials" and why we call it "fun."

Just as the tobacco industry uses the point of sale as its primary advertising, marketing and promotional channel, tobacco control partners can implement health warnings in the retail environment to counter industry tactics. Health warnings can communicate important health messages as well as promote cessation services.

What are POS Health Warnings?

Health warnings displayed at the point of sale are a counter-advertising mechanism involving written, and sometimes pictorial (or “graphic”) warnings of the health impacts of tobacco use along with information about cessation services. There are three main types of POS health warnings:

Warnings on tobacco packaging

  • 6 in 1 GrizzlySmokeless tobacco: Currently, health warnings are required to cover at least 30% of both principle sides of smokeless tobacco packages in the US;
  • Cigarettes: cigarette packages are required to carry one of four Surgeon General’s warnings, with no size or placement specification (Read more), although they are usually found on the side of the packaging in small typeface. The 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act mandated implementation of graphic warning labels on cigarettes in the US that would cover the top 50% of the front and rear panels of packages. While this regulation was upheld by the Court of Appeal for the Sixth Circuit in Commonwealth Brands vs. FDA, it was subsequently struck down as a violation of free speech protections by the U.S. District Court for D.C in R.J. Reynolds v. FDA. The FDA may appeal or reissue new warnings in the future that adhere to principles in the legal opinion. Worldwide, many countries have instituted graphic warning labels as part of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Review the International Status Report on Cigarette Package Health Warnings.
  • Cigars: Under the FDA’s deeming regulations, six rotating warning labels must be randomly displayed and distributed on cigar packages and rotated quarterly in advertisements Retailers who sell individual, unpackaged cigars must display a sign of all six warning statements by each cash register as specified in the law. The health warnings are required to appear on at least 30% of each of the two principal display panels of the package.
  • Nicotine warning. In May 2016, FDA announced “deeming” regulations that will require all covered tobacco products (including e-cigarettes, hookah, pipe tobacco, novel and future products, as well as roll-your-own tobacco) to have health warnings that state, “WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.” by May of 2018. For products that do not contain nicotine at detectable levels, the warning is revised to read: “This product is made from tobacco.” E-liquids that do not contain tobacco or nicotine, or are not derived from tobacco or nicotine do not meet the definition of a “covered tobacco product”, under the new FDA Deeming regulations, and they will not be required to carry an addiction warning.

The warning statements required for tobacco packaging by the FDA’s deeming regulations  must be printed in at least 12-point font size. For products with packages that are too small, the warning must be placed on the outer carton, wrapper, or on a tag attached to the product.

Warning on Snus AdWarnings on tobacco advertisements

  • Smokeless tobacco: Currently, health warnings are required to cover at least 20% of smokeless tobacco advertisements. Additionally, the Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984 requires Surgeon General’s warnings on all cigarette advertisements.
  • Cigarettes: The 2009 FDA Act would have required graphic warnings to cover 20% of cigarette advertisements, but this was struck down as part of the ruling on graphic warning labels (Read more about the cases). The FDA may appeal or reissue new warnings in the future that adhere to principles in the legal opinion
  • Cigars: Under the FDA’s deeming regulations, six warning labels must be randomly displayed and rotated quarterly in advertisements.  The health warnings must appear on at least 20% of the area of the print or other visual advertisements.
  • Nicotine warning. Th same health warnings required for packaging of all tobacco products newly-covered by deeming that states, “WARNING: This product contains nicotine Nicotine is an addictive chemical” or “This product is made from tobacco” will also be required for all tobacco advertisements as of May 2018. In addition to the requirement to be printed in at leas 12-point font size, the warning statements must also occupy “the greatest possible portion of the warning area set aside for the required text,” meaning the text should be larger on larger print advertisements.

Stand-alone health warning signs

Stand-alone health warning signs may be implemented via several mechanisms:

  • Law or resolution. For example, the New York City Board of Health passed a resolution requiring health warnings wherever tobacco products were sold, although it was subsequently struck down as a violation of the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (FCLAA). The FCLAA only applies to cigarettes though, so there may be opportunities to require warnings for other tobacco products (OTPs). Since the court only ruled that the regulation violated FCLAA, it is unclear how they may rule on First Amendment issues. Carefully consult legal advice and review ChangeLab Solutions’ resource for more details on what the NYC ruling means for other cities.

Story from the Field: New York City, New York

NYC graphic warningThe New York City Board of Health passed a resolution in September 2009 requiring health warnings and cessation information to be placed near the cash register or near the tobacco product display everywhere tobacco is sold in New York City (read more about the original proposal). Preliminary research with adult current smokers and recent quitters both before and after the signs were posted showed an 11% increase in respondents who were thinking about quitting smoking.  Unfortunately, in June 2010, the regulation was challenged in court by Phillip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, Lorillard, and a convenience store trade group in 23-34 94th St. Grocery Corp. v. N.Y. City Board of Health. In December 2010, the court ruled that implementation of the warnings was preempted by the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act (FCLAA). This ruling was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit in July 2012. Review the following resources for more information about New York City’s resolution, the legal battle, and what it means for other cities looking to implement similar policies:

  • Voluntary agreement. Jefferson County, Alabama has instituted a voluntary agreement with tobacco retailers in its community to implement graphic health warning signs.

Story from the Field: Jefferson County, Alabama

JeffersonCounty_AL_GHW_SignsJefferson County, Alabama pioneered an innovative program based on voluntary commitments of store owners to the health of their communities. The United Way of Central Alabama and the Jefferson County Department of Health have worked together to start a program in which retailers post health warning signs in their stores. Signs were created based partially on the new graphic warning labels required by the 2009 FDA Act. Encouragingly, 51 convenience store owners voluntarily agreed to post the warning signs in their place of business, demonstrating strong commitment to the health of their communities. Through these signs and other communication strategies, the number of callers to the quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) exposed to this service by the media has more than doubled. View Jefferson County’s health warnings and read more about the research that informed their process.

  • Purchasing advertising space. Delaware’s “The Dirty Truth” campaign took the novel approach of purchasing space (e.g., gas station pump toppers and bus ads) for placement of graphic health warnings.

The evidence for implementing POS health warnings

Despite decades of work in educating the public about the risks of tobacco use, research shows that smokers have little knowledge of the risks of tobacco use other than lung cancer and underestimate their risk for tobacco-related illness. [1,2] Health warnings have the potential to counter this knowledge gap and encourage cessation. [3] A growing evidence base supports the implementation of health warnings, with strong evidence supporting the use of graphic imagery over text-only messages.[4] Moreover, there is broad public support for increasing the size of health warnings on cigarette packs, including among smokers.[5] A nationally representative study conducted in 2014-2015 found that nearly three-quarters (72%) of adults supporting warning labels as large as 75% of a cigarette pack, and even larger percentages of adults had supported warning labels covering at least 50% of a cigarette pack.[5]

A 2015 meta-analysis of pictorial cigarette pack warnings revealed that pictorial warning labels were better than text-only warnings in eliciting negative smoking attitudes among participants.[6] Participants reported a decreased desire to start smoking and an increased desire to quit smoking after viewing the pictorial warnings.[6] Pictorial warning labels were also more effective in grabbing the participants’ attention and provoking stronger emotional reactions than the text-only warnings.[6] Similarly, a recent randomized control trial found smokers using cigarettes packs with graphic warning labels had more quit attempts and quit intentions than those using packs with text-only labels.[7] These effects may also be stronger when graphic health warning labels are larger and placed on plain packaging. [8 Modeling conducted by researchers in 2016 showed that the addition of pictorial health warnings to cigarette packs in the US would reduce smoking prevalence by an additional 10% over the long term.[9] Over the next 50 years, the model predicts that pictorial health warnings would prevent 652,800 smoking attributable deaths, 46,6000 low-birth weight cases, 73,600 preterm births, and 1000 cases of sudden infant death syndrome.[9]

The World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) requires graphic health warnings on product packages in the 177 countries that have ratified. See Tobacco Labeling Resource Centre for health warning examples from around the world for examples. According to data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), in 14 of the countries with graphic cigarette package health warnings:

  • Greater than 90% of smokers noticed a health warning in the previous 30 days;
  • Greater than 50% of smokers were thinking about quitting because of the warnings in 6 countries; and
  • Greater than 25% of smokers were thinking about quitting because of the warnings in all countries except one.

Alessandra Rich Wants Women to Get Confidence from Her Designs

She’s creating pieces that make a statement.

By: Jodi Taylor
Photography: Renée Rodenkirchen

The world is no stranger to Alessandra Rich and her luxurious ready-to-wear collections. Even if you’re not fully familiar with the London-based designer, you’ve definitely seen her designs on the fashion elite—think Beyoncé, Poppy Delevingne, and Hailey Baldwin.

Each collection Rich creates is based off a muse—either a fictional one or someone the designer knows personally—and that woman always exudes confidence; she isn’t afraid to walk around in a sheer shirt with her nipples exposed (our kind of girl). And while it may seem like Rich has been at the fashion game for ages, she spent much of her career working in her husband’s art gallery. Thankfully for the style world, she decided to launch her brand in 2010 while in her 40s and got a helpful nudge from Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet, who helped push Rich’s third collection into production.

We caught up with the designer while she was in Toronto showcasing her latest collection at The Room in The Bay. In addition to drooling over Rich’s pieces (please just look at that sky blue blazer), we chatted with the designer about how she started her brand, why she loves a confident woman, and her new collaboration with Linda Farrow.

She went from decorating homes to designing dresses:

“My husband used to have an art gallery, and [I was there] for many years. From there, I started to search for properties in Europe for clients—Lake Como, South of France, or in London. From that, it developed into decorating their properties. Then when I was 41, I thought, ‘Let me start a fashion brand.’ We started very [small]. I remember I did my first collection, and then the second one took many more months than normal. Then with the third collection, Natalie Massenet of Net-a-Porter saw it, and that changed everything. I remember the first question that Natalie asked me was, ‘Do you think you could manage a production?’ I was like, ‘Of course.’ But it was not true. It was a massive learning curve, which it still is for different reasons. But you’re always learning something.”

The Alessandra Rich girl is confident and wears whatever she wants:

“My collections are always centered around a woman. It can be a fantasy woman or a real woman that I know—a woman that is very confident. She takes fashion not too seriously, and she’s very ironic. She knows that she’s on the limit of being proper but not proper at all, so she has very formal pieces but then some that are completely see-through. It’s a woman that pleases herself more than someone else. [There’s] always an edge of proper and classic and wrong and tacky. We’re very much on the border of falling in the category of being a little tacky.”

Many of the pieces are meant to show some skin:

“[The lace pieces] are going to be sold with a slip underneath for obvious reasons, but having said that, it’s incredible how many buyers [there are] in Paris. Poppy Delevingne wore it completely see-through, so we have that sort of client [who will] take it as it’s suggested, which is good. Thank God for these women. It’s not a question of age; it’s a question of how confident you are. Usually it’s always the woman that makes a dress. It’s never the other way around.”

The new collection includes a very special sunglass collab:

“We did this collection with Linda Farrow with the glasses. It’s something that is part of my father wearing glasses with a chain, and I thought, ‘Let’s do chains for these glasses.’ I think they’re going to be popular. [The shape is] small and mean.”

Rich wants her pieces to be dressed both up and down:

“I’m always the most plain one. I like myself to be intimate and not to expose too much—I leave the rest for the other women to have fun [laughs]. But it depends. I have many [favorites]; the florals in crepe de chine that have pleats, the jackets are really, really cool—the tweed as well as the doubler that is this thick wool. Those are very versatile, a little bit ’80s, and very easy. You [can] wear with anything from a pair of jeans to a mini skirt, leather pants—whatever you want.”

It never gets old seeing women in her pieces:

“I’m happy with a lot of things [in my career], and for me a super highlight is to be in Toronto now. Then, of course, a highlight is always when you see a woman and you see her wearing your pieces. To be a celebrity or not. That is probably the best part. We do have a very good group—super celebrities like Nicole Kidman or Beyoncé, as well as It girls who are just cool but not necessarily very popular.”

    Can my student be on campus all day at Cascade?

                    Yes, students may choose to be here all day through a combination of attending classes, participating in parent-led club activities, studying in quiet spaces, and managing breaks.  However, there must be a parent or adult guardian on-site with them at all times.

    Does Cascade offer a Behavior Modification program?

                    No, the needs of a Behavior Modification program are not compatible with our Parent Partnership model and the reporting requirements for our Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) program to the State.

    Can Cascade support my student’s IEP?

                    Maybe.  We do offer IEP support for students whose needs can be met within our Parent Partnership model.  Please contact us to discuss what type of IEP support we may be able to provide for your student.

    Does the District provide transportation to Cascade?

                    No yellow bus transportation is provided by the District for students enrolled at Cascade.  Metro bus cards are provided to students only for transportation to and from Cascade.  Parents must provide their own transportation either by Metro bus with their student or other means.

    I work full-time during the day.  Are there other options if I want my student to be enrolled?

                    A parent or adult guardian must be on-site with each student.   An adult guardian can look many different ways here, but a student is most successful if that same adult is also the primary facilitator of the student’s education; committed to fully participating in on-site learning as needed and home extension work.

    Other than being on campus with my student, are there other requirements as a parent?

                    Yes, a parent or adult guardian must be able to attend monthly Student Learning Plan (SLP) meetings with their SLP Counselor and come prepared to discuss their student’s abilities, needs and progress in our program.  Parents also guide all off-site learning and are expected to report their progress in the SLP Meetings.

    I have children at home who are under the age of 5. Since I would need to be on-site with my school-age student, is enrollment still an option for our family?

                    Yes.  Cascade welcomes younger siblings during the school day under the supervision of their parent or adult guardian.  We provide outdoor play spaces, an age-appropriate indoor playroom and a community Commons room for cooking meals and gathering to network with other families.  You design your school-age student’s schedule and time on-site to meet the needs of your entire family.

How to Make Baumkuchen (German Layered Cake) at home - Video Recipe

Baumkuchen is a kind of layered cake invented in Germany.

It is a very popular cake in Japan.
The most popular wedding favor, too!

In this video, I will show you how to make it at home using a Tamagoyaki Nabe (rectangular omelet pan)!

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 30min
Number of Servings: 2

Necessary Equipment:
Tamagoyaki Nabe (rectangular omelet pan)

2 eggs
50g (1.8oz.) granulated sugar
50ml fresh cream or whipping cream *milk is okay
2 tbsp. melted butter *cooking oil is okay
100g (3.5oz) cake flour
1 tsp. baking powder
a few drops of vanilla extract
cooking oil

1. Make a core tube by rolling aluminum foil. Make sure it is as wide as the pan.
2. Beat eggs in a bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Then add fresh cream and melted butter, and mix well.
3. Sift in cake flour and baking powder, and mix well. Add a few drops of vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Heat cooking oil in a Tamagoyaki Nabe (rectangular omelet pan) on low heat, pour (1/2 ladle of) the batter in the pan and spread over the surface. When bubbles appear on the surface, place the core tube coated with some oil, and start rolling (just like making Tamagoyaki). Once it has browned, set aside.
5. Again, on low heat, spread the batter over the surface of the pan. When bubbles appear on the surface, place the rolled cake, roll, and set aside. Repeat this (for 5 or 6 times) until all your batter is gone.

You can either serve immediately or chill in the fridge before serving! It will slightly get hard in the fridge, so leave at room temperature for a few minutes before you serve.

You can coat it with icing sugar, serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

The Face Of Angels: Act 1: The Discovery

About the act

In this act, the protagonists will be first discovering their powers, and the world will be first discovering them. The story will likely be about their reaction to their powers, as well as their family and friends' reaction, and how they fit into their immediate community. Their enemies will begin to emerge.

New rules

The World's hand size

From now on, the World's hand size is equal to five plus the act number. So, in Act 1, her hand size is six cards.

Trump cards

Trumping is simple. Each protagonist character has a trump suit representing the area of his or her superhuman powers. If anyone in the contest lays down a card in their trump suit and then describes themselves using that power, the card counts as a trump card. (It is entirely possible to play a card in your trump suit as a regular card.) A trump card beats anything except another trump card, which it would be compared numerically against.

You cannot play a trump card if you are not playing your protagonist character.

One way to think about a trump suit is as a fifth suit which always wins.

When you help someone with one of your character's trump cards, it counts as a trump.

Super-trumping only happens when someone plays their super-trump card when playing their protagonist character. He or she must describe the character using its powers in an amazing and transformative manner. In fact, the player must immediately choose one of the transformations from the current act to apply to his character. The entire contest ends immediately with that character winning.

If you have another character's super-trump card, you can use this to affect that character. If that character is in a contest, you can play this card to either help or harm them. You decide which way this decides the contest. If you do this, it counts as the character's super-trump. You get to describe the character using its powers in an amazing and transformative manner if it wins or in a terrible and unexpected way if it loses, and you get to choose the transformation for that character.

The World and trumps

The World, starting in this act, will have the chance to assign trumps to people and organizations. The organization can be no higher than the current level of stakes: therefore, in Act 1, it can only be small groups of people; in Act 2, it can be up to a city; in Act 3, it can be up to a country; in Act 4, it can be as large as you like. The World has to justify this, and it must be done before a conflict starts. The justification can be anything sensible – maybe a person has a tremendous emotional pull on someone else, or maybe a paramilitary group has a suitcase bomb.

There are limitations to this. Only one trump can be assigned per act. In addition, each suit can only be assigned once. The World can use a maximum of one character or organization's trump in a contest.

Revealing secrets

When a player plays a card either against someone else's PC or in order to help that PC, he can reveal the secret of that character that his PC thinks he knows. He must do this in character narration. If that character's player says the secret is true, the card is a trump card. If that character's player says the secret is false, then he must hand his cards to the other player. That player will sort out what he wants and hand back the same number of cards to the character's player.

In this act, one cannot set stakes that involve any other protagonist character's death or loss of their identity or powers, or the loss of any character in anyone else's part of the pie. You can do whatever you want with the characters in your part of the pie. At maximum, stakes can be about the fate of small groups of people.

If you get bonus cards for a relationship and fail in the contest, that relationship cannot grant you bonus cards for the rest of the act.

Protagonists can take relationships with people or organizations up to the size of a small group of people.

If you play your super-trump in Act 1, you must choose one of the following to happen to your character:

  • Your physical appearance changes to reflect your powers in some way.
  • There are gross physical manifestations of your power, so that you are exposed to everyone present.
  • Your power works differently than you originally thought. Re-write the power, but keep the same trump card.
  • Henceforth, there is a distinct side-effect of your power that you must narrate whenever you use it.
  • Bystanders are changed or harmed.

Ending the act

In Act 1, and in all acts afterward, the entire draw pile must have been used up to end the act. If used up, the World should shuffle the discard pile and make this the new draw pile. In addition, there will be story conditions to end the act. If these conditions have been met and the deck has been used up, anyone can suggest the act be ended after a scene is over. If this is seconded, the act is over.

In Act 1, the story conditions are: At least one of the player characters' identity must be exposed to outsiders. Everyone must have used their powers in a contest.
