DevOps and Cloud Migrations – A Perspective from AWS DevOps and Migration Competency Partner Pythian

The following is a guest post from our friends at AWS DevOps & AWS Migration Competency Partner Pythian.

It’s no secret that the commoditization of computing resources, and cloud in particular, have removed a significant barrier to entry for organizations seeking platform scalability, elasticity, and rapid maturation. Cloud computing has created an opening for organizations of all sizes to compete on level ground, while aligning their costs of operations with demand and effectively supporting a more sustainable financial model. The broad service offering and the presence of reliable DevOps tools offered by AWS, such as AWS CloudFormation , AWS OpsWorks, AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeCommit, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS Config support automated, DevOps-style migrations of platforms of all sizes and complexities.

Migrating a platform to the cloud can be tackled in numerous different ways. Whether the migration is approached via the refactoring strategy or down to the traditional re-host strategy, the primary driver is to enable speed, agility and the freedom to experiment in a cost-efficient manner for your organization. Regardless of which route is chosen, they all require strategic planning and precise execution. If not planned well or if done incorrectly, a migration could result in downtime or potentially not allowing your organization to take full advantage of what the cloud has to offer.

Migrations require careful, granular planning, and a deep, cross-discipline understanding of platform intricacies. They also require the involvement and cooperation of a wide range of domain experts — from platform architects to operations experts, to developer resources — and a high degree of orchestration and focus on maintaining team coherence.

To resolve these incompatibilities, bridge the various disciplines, and realign the previously separate interests, advanced technology teams have been evolving their DevOps practices.

AWS provides deep guidance on what DevOps is, why it matters, and how to adopt a DevOps model. AWS defines DevOps as the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market. Adopting a DevOps model can have a fundamental impact on the success of your migration to the cloud.

DevOps supports an experiment-driven, fast-learning, flexible, and high-velocity engineering culture. It is designed to automate the repeatable parts and sequences of an application’s, and its supporting infrastructure’s, lifecycle (like build, test, deploy, scale, failover, recover, etc.) to make changes to the resulting software and production services as close to zero-cost as possible. The core DevOps principles of shared responsibility, agility, transparency, and lowered risks through heavy reliance on automation have proven to be crucial for handling complex projects requiring constant and precise risk management, such as enterprise platform migrations.

Early adoption and a commitment to DevOps practices enables low-risk execution of AWS migrations. DevOps also brings about a number of short and long-term business benefits, such as repeatability, auditability, significantly lower deployment risks, and faster iteration cycles – all crucial to employee retention, improved operational excellence, better security posture, and improved competitive advantage.

DevOps teams that have migrated their infrastructure and workload to the cloud using automation, have now enabled their organizations to run more experiments at significantly lower cost than previously possible, and to iterate at a more rapid pace than ever before.

Today, the most advanced teams in the world release each developer’s changes automatically to huge environments many times per day. Deploying more often and in smaller increments allows for significant risk reduction at the time of deployment. These smaller change deltas, coupled with fast feedback loops enabled by rigorous automated testing of each change increment, reduce the time it takes to find and correct bugs and further reduces deployment risks.

The Road to Maturity: Elements of a Mature DevOps Practice

We’ve learned a lot helping numerous customers migrate to AWS and build mature DevOps practices within their organization, and we want to share some best practices with you. Below is a brief overview of the environment we suggest you create, and the technologies your organization should embrace, to ensure ongoing improvements to your software and services to achieve your business goals.

  • Create a culture of experimentation: Every product organization must make ongoing tradeoffs between velocity, performance, reliability, cost efficiency, and security, so it’s imperative to have blameless, respectful, and truthful discussions about decisions and outcomes. Adopting DevOps requires a deep commitment to continuous improvement throughout the organization. Continuous experimentation with a deep commitment to constant learning leads to continuous improvement, also known as “Kaizen”. The successful organization will learn to seek answers and limit the risk of bad assumptions. AWS Head of Enterprise Stephen Orban has also released a great series of blogs on creating a culture of experimentation, which you can read here.
  • Get executive attention: The modern executive team should concern itself with improving its engineering leverage, and must be willing to seek help through the inherent disruption.
  • Be customer focused: Commercial innovation is judged by the market. Empathy for the customer is a major differentiator.
  • Embrace tool-driven collaboration: Mature DevOps teams are characterized by deep, efficient, tool-driven collaboration between skilled, cross-functional individuals working as part of a team, or teams, who execute a product development and operations lifecycle.
  • Adopt data-driven decision making: Success comes from making good decisions over time. Business strategy and financial planning cycles must adapt to the reality of continually evolving markets by constantly seeking alignment with product and technology objectives — and vice versa. This requires an even closer, data-driven decision cycle at all levels.
  • Get Lean and Agile: Adopting Lean principles and Agile methodologies is crucial to delivering DevOps in a highly productive, scalable, and efficient manner.

  • Take an infrastructure-as-code approach: All development efforts should be cloud native, incorporate an infrastructure-as-code approach using tools like AWS CloudFormation, and avoid dependence on manual operations by leveraging appropriate public, private and/or hybrid cloud infrastructure. This approach allows you to automate manual and repetitive tasks and eliminate human errors as you configure, maintain, scale, and recover from faults, and ultimately fully automate the end-to-end infrastructure lifecycle.
  • Automate application deployments: Application deployments should be guided by the principle of delivering value to the end user as quickly as possible. To attain high velocity, deployments must be automated, undergo rigorous automated testing, and upon successfully passing the tests, deployed to production. The entire software deployment pipeline should be optimized for defect detection, speed of delivery, and rapid feedback, with Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) as the goal.
  • Optimize orchestration: Design, coordinate, and optimize the full infrastructure and application lifecycle processes by creating fast feedback loops, eliminating repetitive steps to optimize the speed and quality of new application capabilities.
  • Integrate operational visibility early: Integrate operational visibility services as part of the development process, not as an afterthought.  Select and configure tools to monitor KPIs to maintain performance, detect issues, and provide alerts when those issues arise. Use pre-built operational visibility platforms like Pythian’s OpsViz stack, Amazon CloudWatch, Datadog, Splunk, Loggly, or Sumo Logic for general data aggregation, dashboards, triggering of actionable alerting, as well as reporting. Drive development efficiency and service quality using APM tools, like New Relic and AppDynamics.
  • Create a CI/CD environment: With Continuous Integration (CI), you have an automated software integration and unit test environment that enables continuous validation of development changes.  Continuous Deployment (CD) gives you an automated production test, release, and rollback environment that enables frequent, high-quality production releases. When combined with a culture of experimentation, continuous delivery equals competitive advantage.

Pythian’s DevOps team, through an unshakeable dedication to end-to-end automation, continuous testing, and the application of modern software development practices to cloud migrations, has been able to consistently deliver predictable results to our customers throughout the lifetime of migration projects.  Learn more about what we’ve done for customers on AWS by reading about our customer TinyCo.

Grundfos SQE 22 GPM Pump and Motor

Grundfos SQE 22 GPM Pump and Motor

  • $1,731.00
    Unit price per

SQE Pump and Motor

The SQE is the only constant pressure pump on the market fully equipped with built-in electronic controls which allow for advanced computer controlled performance and state of the art protection features including sophisticated diagnostics. The motor design is a Variable Speed Drive which electronically changes the pump speed to match demand providing you with the incredible comfort of constant pressure.

Each unit is equipped with:

  • Soft start – prevents water hammer and motor overheating
  • Dry run protection – pumps are water lubricated and if your well runs low, an unprotected pump will die
  • Overload protection – if a pump becomes clogged with debris like sand or grass, it can destroy an unprotected motor
  • Over and undervoltage protection – the lifetimes of unprotected motors can be greatly reduced by improper voltages. Rural parts of the country are notorious for wide variations in voltage supply

CU301 User Interface

The CU301 User Interface is the easy to use command and control computer for operating the pump in constant pressure mode. The user simply chooses the desired water pressure by pressing the UP or DOWN arrows, and the CU301 does the rest.

In order to control pressure, it must be measured. The included pressure sensor precisely measures water pressure sending its signal to the CU301. The CU301 reads this pressure signal and then electronically commands the pump to start, stop, speed up, or slow down in order to maintain constant pressure regardless of water demand. It controls the pump via power line communications by impressing high speed data messages on the pumps power supply cable. This technology is similar to that used in a home intercom or a baby monitor.

Azkoyen strengthens leading position in Germany at InterTabac with Step Media and new retail system

The largest trade fair for tobacco and smoking accessories, InterTabac, took place in Dortmund, Germany, from 19 to 21 September, with more exhibitors than ever before. It set new records with five exhibition halls and 11,000 visitors, 40% of whom came from countries other than Germany.

In this edition, there was a special section for cigarette vending machines, where Azkoyen showed two solutions: the new Step Media and an automatic retail system which caught the attention of the hundreds of visitors to its stand.

The new Step Media has been designed especially for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where cigarette advertising is permitted on vending machines under tobacco advertising laws. The new model features a 10″ screen for multimedia content that completes the In-Touch touchscreen series of up to 22″, well-established in these markets.

In the event in Germany, Azkoyen also presented its automatic retail system, which may be relevant in countries in which the sale of tobacco products is legal in supermarkets or hypermarkets but not in small retailers due to age restrictions and thefts. The automatic retail system from Azkoyen gives customers the chance to select products in the kiosk, pay for them at the checkout and collect them from the dispenser on their way out. The system can be caused to sell age-restricted products like alcohol or cigarettes, and expensive items as well, preventing them from being stolen.

The trade show in Germany became an interesting showcase for Azkoyen, hoping to strengthen leadership in Germany with cigarette vending machines and to start operating in new sectors, like the retail or the electronic cigarette markets.

Author: American Military University

By Gordon R. Friedman The Oregonian

PORTLAND, Ore. — The union representing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement employees has asked state and federal officials to open a criminal investigation of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler over his direction of the police response to ICE protests this summer.

The politically pointed gesture, designed to call attention to Wheeler’s stance against immigration enforcement actions, goes as far as to suggest he should temporarily give up his duties as police commissioner.

In letters sent Wednesday to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, the National ICE Council asks officials to probe whether Wheeler committed official misconduct or violated the Constitution by directing Portland police officers not to respond to some calls for service during a lengthy protest the ICE field office in Portland.

Wheeler responded with outrage and faulted the lawyer who wrote the letters, Sean Riddell, for making what Wheeler said was serial misrepresentations of what occurred.

“Make no mistake. They are coming after me because I am a vocal opponent of the administration’s policy of separating kids from their parents,” Wheeler said in a statement. “Previous claims made by Sean Riddell have fallen apart upon further inspection and these claims, if investigated, will too.”

Kristina Edmunson, a spokeswoman for Rosenblum, said her office has received the union’s letter and is reviewing it. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon referred questions to the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In the letters on behalf of the union, Riddell cites Wheeler’s public statements and messages sent by a mayoral aide and a Portland Police Bureau captain directing police to respond to the protest only if there were an immediate threat to lives or safety. Riddell served as a deputy Oregon attorney general during Democrat John Kroger’s time as attorney general.

Wheeler has said he detests the actions of ICE agents to separate some children and parents facing deportation; his statements drew a personal rebuke from President Trump.

In his statement Wednesday, he added to those criticisms. “Now we know many of these kids will be permanently orphaned as a result,” Wheeler said. “That is wrong. I’m outraged by it.”

The mayor had also previously responded to Riddell’s critiques by saying the city did nothing wrong, arguing Portland’s hands-off approach was necessary to protect protesters’ free speech rights.

Riddell wrote that Wheeler, as mayor and police commissioner, has a duty to enforce all laws of Portland and the state of Oregon. Riddell said Wheeler did not enforce laws that bar rioting, harassment, disorderly conduct and unlawful camping, according to the letters, first reported by the Portland Tribune and independently obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

During the long protest, demonstrators blocked areas around the ICE field office, located off Southwest Macadam Boulevard. They set up makeshift camps and at times clashed with federal police officers, resulting in arrests. In all, federal police arrested 19 people, mostly for trying to block the entrance to the immigration agency’s office or for tearing police tape demarcating the federal property line. Three of them were arrested for allegedly assaulting a federal officer.

Wheeler said at the time that he wanted to allow federal police to enforce laws on the property of the federal immigration office rather than have city police do so.

Riddell said the mayor directed city police not to respond to some calls for service “to advance his own personal political agenda, advance his political career and punish citizens he perceived to hold alternative political beliefs.”

According to a state law cited by Riddell, a public servant commits official misconduct if he or she knowingly fails to perform a duty of their office or commits an unauthorized excess of authority with the intent to benefit or harm another person. Prosecutions under the statute are exceedingly rare.

Riddell said that should an investigation be launched, Wheeler ought to temporarily give up his duties as police commissioner.

Heh heh heh… Heh.

The other day, Cody and I bought the cutest little stuffed monkey for our little monkey. I just couldn't resist. My Amma yells at me every time I call Linnea a little monkey- "She's not a little monkey!"- but I can't help it, it just comes out of my mouth like verbal vomit all the time now. Little monkey this, little monkey that. For instance, you know that song by the Cardigans that goes, "Love me, love me, SAY that you looove me… fool me, fool me, go on and fool me"? I don't even know what it's called but I sing, "Monkey, monkey, say you're a monkey, monkey, monkey, go on my monkey, monkey monkey, pretend you're my monkey, monkey, monkey, you are my monkey, I don't care 'bout anything but yooooooouu!" and EVERY TIME without fail, if Linnea is having a fit, she breaks out in a huge smile and I love it so much I don't care how ridiculous it is that I'm singing the word "monkey" over and over to her in the tune of some random Swedish one-hit-wonder's song from 1996. And you're welcome for getting it stuck in your head for the rest of the day. It's a gem, that one.

ANYWAY. Yesterday my mom started monkeying around with Linnea and we got her laughing up a storm on camera. I guarantee you will smile bigger than you have in a while. And since it's a little bit more cuteness than I can handle, I'm gonna step outside for a minute and take a few deep breaths in a paper bag, splash my face with the garden hose on full blast and then come back and resume normal life. Enjoy.

And here's a picture of some AWESOME hair for good measure:

I'm not really sure where her neck went.

3 HR Trends In 2020

Here are some of the key trends that are expected to influence the HR industry in 2020 given the rise in technology and the future of work.

1. Data will become an integral part of the decision-making process.

Upskilling HR professionals to use more accurate data to measure employee behaviour, retention of the workforce, etc will increase in organisations. “Having this data at their fingertips will help HR teams to unlock employee potential, drive performance, and gain respect as a important, relevant and strategic force within their organisations,” says Claire Williams, director of people and services at CIPHR.

2. Embracing the holistic approach to HR.

HR professionals will be expected to provide better support functions for employees which also affects employee retention and turnover of the organisation. In essence, such a function will encompass more than just the day-to-day procedural tasks, payroll and hiring. By treating employees well, organisations will become more successful. A good example would be showing courage, kindness and empathy towards employees in cases of unethical or immoral behaviour at work.

3. Greater emphasis on workplace culture rather than process improvements.

Over the years, employee experience involves process improvements and increased use of technology at work. According to many HR specialists, in 2020, organisations will place more emphasis on the employee’s experience in terms of workplace culture.

Perry Timms, author of Transformational HR and chief energy officer at PTHR, says “Employee experience should be about creating a culture where everyone can truly influence things – that people aren’t overlooked, or it’s just the usual suspects who are rewarded or involved in decisions.”

It is thrilling to hear a full orchestra at full stretch in any repertoire at the moment, but this Royal Scottish National Orchestra programme of rarely heard repertoire, was a pure delight.

Nicola Benedetti and the RSNO
© Martin Shields

To contradict myself immediately, Szymanowski's First Violin Concerto has now moved towards being a regular repertoire piece. This is largely due to the advocacy of the tonight’s soloist, Nicola Benedetti, who played it brilliantly to win the BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2004 and has continued to perform it across the world. It is a fabulous concerto, so full of inspired thematic material and wild romantic impulses that it should literally sweep audiences off their feet. Written for a large orchestra, it is a masterpiece of orchestration, not only in the huge variety of its colours, but also in how it allows the soloist to cut through the intricacies of the orchestral tapestry.

Benedetti gave an exemplary account, effortlessly traversing the technical demands and producing a tone that managed to be both strong and sensuous. However, Thomas Søndergård’s conducting was counter-intuitive in a work that demands a sense of spontaneity and wildness of spirit. One sensed he was trying to find a Sibelian structural thread that isn’t the point of the work. He held back on the orchestral climaxes trying to build to the final outburst, but this tidying up of the structure wasn’t necessary and detracted from the heated atmosphere of hedonism. Saying that, the performance made an impact of its own and as an interpretation it was still emotionally impactful and superbly executed by the RSNO.

Thomas Søndergård conducts the RSNO

Mieczysław Weinberg's Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes is a work in the vein of Bartók’s Dance Suite. While it lacks the formal cohesion of that famous work, it certainly has a charming flavour of its own. Written to please the Soviet authorities in the late 1940s, it failed to do so and, like the rest of his compositions, it fell on deaf ears, disappearing without trace. Only recently has Weinberg’s reputation being undergoing reassessment and works like the Rhapsody are now being picked up by conductors and audiences. The RSNO played this short work with the dedication and clarity of rhythmic attack that it required.

The Royal Scottish National Orchestra

The final work, Andrzej Panufnik's Sinfonia sacra, is such a powerful work that its neglect in the concert hall is scandalous. The fact that Shostakovich 5, Janáček’s Sinfonietta and Sibelius 5 – all works it resembles – are wheeled out constantly and recorded repeatedly and this work is assigned to being “a rarity” is completely mystifying. Søndergård and the RSNO were completely under its skin. The primary colours blazed and every department of the orchestra was so palpably engaged that the bittersweet victory of the final passage was almost overwhelming.

The Little Things

” Above all else it is about leaving a mark that I existed. I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a great purpose and that is why I make works of art.”

~ Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Today I know that life itself is a work of art, one in which we all have a great purpose in.

We create art in our life on a daily basis. Do you recognize that you are your own masterpiece?

I have been duly conscientious for the need to try to remain mindful of today, of the “now” in my life. It is not a new belief concept for me, but it requires patience and focus. My patience is being tested lately.
This has made me forgetful and helped me lose my focus on just the here and now, and enjoy just what I have now.
I am realizing that to also be grateful for the things I don’t think about as often would go a long way to the gentle reminders I need to remain in the now. To NOT get caught up in the problems of yesterday, the worries of tomorrow. Instead, being mindful of all things significant in my life. Better than snapping a rubber band against ones wrist.
Don’t ask. Just trust me.
I ask myself what about the little things? The things in my life I take for granted, What are those little things that serve to be reminders for me. And why are they significant if they are such little things?
There are things I take for granted in my life and when I’m suddenly spun to another world and I’m left without the things I don’t know where I would be without.
I am a grateful person usually by nature. I believe in gratitude and expressing thanks. I am often aware of feeling grateful for the obvious gifts in life. Gifts like my Faith, my Hopes, my Dreams, on being loving, on being loved, on peacefulness and contentment. These are the things happiness can be built on it is true. I am thankful each morning and night for these gifts. And for those in my life who are my gifts.
Yet there are those small, seemingly unimportant things in my life I would not want to be without. They are significant to my style of homespun happiness.
There are a few others in my life I’d like to be more aware of how significant they are to me in a mindful way. Making a point of being grateful for the “small things” and not taking advantage of or assuming they will always be there.
Just a few honorable mentions from my world in no particular order of value:
For one immediate stand out I look no further than the very keyboard I type this on. And the magic of the Internet I don’t even pretend to understand. Ironically for a lady who is not a fan of technology it has become an important form of communication for me. I know what it is like to be without though even for just a couple of days. I’ll not take it for granted, instead I will be mindful of the gifts it brings to my life each day.
I am grateful I can journal, and feel good about the cathartic expression as well as the personal growth I gain from my introspective reflections.
Seneca, the Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman and dramatist, suggested the idea of “self observation” by making a daily self-inventory of ourselves; by asking as we bring our day and evening to a close the questions of yourself. His suggested questions work for me.
  • What bad habit have you cured today?
  • What fault have you resisted?
  • In what respect are you better?
This ritual of asking and answering for that day’s behavior & actions helps me to be reminded of the times when I am not living as graciously as I could. I am able to sort out the day’s events and process any feelings through my journaling. Tomorrow is a new day, start anew.
Cloth Napkins
I know.. I know…. threw you for a loop there did I?
Cloth napkins are an indulgence I feel good about. I rarely use kitchen paper products, specifically paper napkins or paper towels. I usually have both in my home but prefer cloth napkins and cloth hand towels. It feels like a luxury with every meal to use a cloth napkin that I adore. I’m an extremely texture oriented person and am not a fan of the feel of paper napkins.
I am most grateful for being able to use cloth napkins.
My Neighborhood:
One of the things I know I take advantage of and am rarely mindful of is when my neighborhood is quiet. There are times when I just want the solitude and false misconception that I am all alone in my ‘hood. That the absolute quiet means that everyone has left for the day. (weekends in the Summer) and I have this whole world to myself. This is my favorite time to walk about in the Hood and meet the neighbors pets, look at the gardens, especially in winter, most have some architectural designs that I admire and are only visible when the foliage has gone into hibernation.
Water & Music
I love a hot shower/bath with music at the same time. Candles are optional.
There is a restorative calm that seeps into every muscles, tendons, and my body’s entire collection of connective tissue. I am magically transformed from the moment of stepping into the hot & fragranced water and the first few chords of someone like Snowy White’s Blues guitar and voice starts to fill the room.
I am in heaven on earth then.
Yet I take it for granted and never give a thought to having the clean abundant hot water nor my Bose stereo that I can move about the house at will.
I am most grateful for the soul grabbing love of friends who know what music moves me and sends it along my way. Never forget those who give the gift of a song.
I know that you cannot create happiness out of just anything It takes creativity
I am able to touch my own oneness because of these small things in my life that are very significant to me.
They help create this masterpiece I call my life..

August 16th, 2016 – Baron Biosystems Ltd., a sports science software company, announced today the release of Xert™ Advanced Power Data Analytics software. Xert is a software suite that analyzes power data, both recorded and in real-time, to provide athletes with deep insight into their fitness and performance. After extensive modeling and beta-testing on thousands of athletes, Xert’s advanced fitness model establishes an athlete’s Maximal Power Available (MPA™) at every moment during an activity.

Determining MPA marks the beginning of an entirely new way of measuring athletic fitness.” says Armando Mastracci, founder of Baron Biosystems. “MPA is the very heart of performance and essential to any endeavour that is impacted by muscular fatigue.”

Xert is currently targeted towards cyclists that are using power meters to improve their fitness and monitor their performance. Xert’s MPA-based techniques enable them to determine their fitness without having to perform those dreaded, often difficult to execute 20-minute FTP tests. Xert Online, a desktop and mobile web-based app, tracks an athlete’s fitness progression, ride-by-ride, by discovering fitness breakthroughs in power data using MPA. When used in real-time via their Xert Mobile for Android or Garmin ConnectIQ apps, Xert helps cyclists train and race better by providing feedback on their ability to produce power.

With a broad feature set, and easy-to-understand user interfaces, Xert is positioned to be an essential tool to anyone with a power meter. “As our ability to measure power expands into other sports and disciplines, Xert will provide athletes and coaches new, essential insights that will transform athletic training and performance forever.”

The artist was definitely thinking outside of the box when he designed this torma trunk; it is a unique piece, well painted with masterfully mixed colors. I particularly love the sides with the Treasure vase's window on enlightenment. The symmetrical designs used are quite different than any other trunk. The design is predominately floral with the exception of the sides where a coral offering is made and Cintamani and Chakravartin's Precious eight-faceted flaming jewel, the King's earrings and his Precious Elephant are presented along with the treasure vase. The Four Noble truths are the main theme, presented in varying forms on all facets of the Antique Tibetan Torma trunk. The Chrysanthemum border is painted over 24kt gold; note there is some color and gold loss as cleaning was very difficult on that part of the design. The handles on the sides and the lid's closure is brass. The copper cladding on the corners is a late 20th century addition. This trunk comes with a brush-sign Certificate of Authenticity signed by one of the monks at the Sange Monastery. There is also a map of the area, along with historical notes and pictures of the village and monasteries with explanations and other documentation.

Material: JUNIPER
Dimensions: W=19.75" H=15.75" D=10"
Age: circa 1870

The front is bordered with red and blue Chrysanthemums on a gold background. The chrysanthemum symbolizes autumn & the gathering of the harvest. In this case, it is a metaphor for achieving the goal of enlightenment & its accompanying peace. The blue represents compassion. Red is the transmutation of passion into compassion. The gold background denotes the purity of thoughts and actions achieved through this transmutation. The majority of the Tibetan Buddhist symbols on this torma trunk centers around the Four Noble Truths, as represented by the four petaled flower.

The center of the front has a unique representation of the four petaled flower with multiple sets of four, all leading to multiple sets of eight representing the path from the Four Noble Truths to the Eight-Fold Noble Path commonly known as the Dharma. The background has mare's tail cumulus clouds with red and green toma offerings floating in the sky like jewels; at each corner is a burgeoning single petal of the stylized four petaled flower. Interestingly four shoots are coming out of the central flower and these have at their ends what appears to be lotus buds. The 4-petaled flower is symbolic of the 4 Noble truths, the middle way and the first teaching of Buddha. 1. Life is suffering. 2. Ignorance is the cause of suffering.  3. The cessation of suffering is the goal of life because it transcends pains and pleasure.  4. The way to the cessation of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which aligns with the eight spokes of the Dharma Wheel. The Eightfold Noble path must be taken together, not separately:   1. right understanding . 2. right attitude  3. right speech  4. right action  5. right work    6. right effort  7. right mindfulness  8. right meditation. Mare's tail cumulus clouds are quite common in Tibet; one significance of these fast moving clouds and the pure clarity of the sky is metaphorically an illustration of the Buddha Mind. Clouds may come and go across the heavens, like the transitory thoughts or delusions which appear to obscure the mind's true nature, yet the nature of the sky remains unchanged. this is like the mirror, which is always unaffected by the appearances which arise in it, the sky is clear, transparent, infinite and immaculate. The toma is an offering made from barley flour, yak butter and water.

The sides again have a plethora of four petaled flowers surrounding a unique Tibetan Buddhist Treasure vase with precious red coral and kusha grass coming out of the top. Looking into the vase there is a stack of Cintamani, pure water, kusha grass the King's earrings and elephant tusks that represent the entire elephant. The vase or urn (kalasa) promises the good fortune of spiritual and material fulfillment, symbolizing the treasure of spiritual wealth.  Among those treasures is the jewel of enlightenment. It also extends to the material side and it is characteristic of the deities that symbolize prosperity. Kusha grass grows to a height of two feet and is used to purify defilements.  Those wishing purification sleep in a field or patch of kusha grass for ritual purification.  Placed under a pillow at night before initiation, Kusha grass is believed to produce clear dreams; it is also used to enhance the clarity of visualization and meditation.  Kusha is the grass of choice for the manufacture of sacred meditation mats. Cintamani are wish-granting jewels and additionally represent wisdom.  When depicted in sets of 3, they represent the body, speech and mind of Buddha such as the practitioner may possess.  Cintamani are also referred to as the “Thinking Jewel” and symbolize the importance of teaching and as well as the enlightened mind. The top jewel in this stack is flaming and blue, along with the King's earrings and elephant tusks they are part of the seven Precious Possessions of Chakravartin. Chakravartin, or Wheel Turner
in Hinduism refers to an ideal ruler, but in Buddhism, Chakravartin has come to mean a Buddha whose all-encompassing teachings are universally true.  Chakravartin has an army of 4 divisions, infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariots. Chakravartin is the lineage of 25 Kulika kings or enlightened monarchs, the 25th of which will finally defeat the "non-believers." The Precious Elephant is a symbol of the strength of the mind in Buddhism. Exhibiting noble gentleness, the precious elephant serves as a symbol of the calm majesty possessed by one who is on the path. Specifically, it embodies the boundless powers of the Buddha, which are miraculous aspiration, effort, intention, and analysis.  When elephant tusks are depicted, they naturally are symbolic of the whole elephant. The Precious King's or Minister's heavy earrings are taken as a symbol of comprehension of the Buddha’s teachings.  The weight of the earrings would have caused the wearers earlobes to elongate.  The long earlobes of the Buddha are a symbol of his detachment from all things earthly. Like the Buddha, the King represents a wealth of faith, morality, honesty, modesty, learning, renunciation, and wisdom. The King is also referred to as the Precious minister. His intelligence is razor-sharp, with a great ability for patience and listening.  He desires to do only good works to promote the Dharma, to protect and benefit all beings.
The Eight-faceted blue flaming jewel, has eight magical properties, not eight carved faces. It cools when the days are hot, warms when the days are cold, illuminates the darkness of night, causes rain to fall or a spring to appear when one is thirsty, it brings to fruition what ever the bearer desires, it heals emotional afflictions, and cures all of the diseases of those who are in its range of its light and lastly prevents untimely death as in fathers passing on before sons.

The top is again in keeping with the central theme of the Four noble Truths; split into four sections, with the north and south sections having the 4 petaled flower, while the east and west sections have durva grass. Grass, in sanskrit, Durva, is a symbol for long (or Longer) life and is used in life-enriching rituals. grass, being highly resilient, is believed to be immortal and so proclaims the end of samsara, the successive death and rebirth of all beings.

Disgrace (James Brien Comey, Jr.)

In this photo taken May 8, 2017, FBI Director James Comey speaks in Washington.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

And then there is this.

President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday, dramatically ousting the nation’s top law enforcement official in the midst of an FBI investigation into whether Trump’s campaign had ties to Russia’s election meddling.

In a letter to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore “public trust and confidence” in the FBI. Comey has come under intense scrutiny in recent months for his role in an investigation into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s email practices, including a pair of letters he sent to Congress on the matter in the closing days of last year’s election.

Trump made no mention of Comey’s role in the Clinton investigation, which she has blamed in part for the election result that put him in the White House. But in announcing the firing, the White House circulated a scathing memo, written by deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, criticizing Comey’s handling of the Clinton probe, including the director’s decision to hold a news conference announcing its findings and releasing “derogatory information” about Clinton.

Leash-Reactive Dogs: Why Is My Dog Scared of Things on Wheels?

By: Chewy EditorialPublished:

Leash-Reactive Dogs: Why Is My Dog Scared of Things on Wheels?

Contributed by Russell Hartstein, certified dog/cat behaviorist and trainer and CEO (Canine Executive Officer) of Fun Paw Care in Los Angeles, California.

When you’re out for a walk with your dog and see someone on a skateboard across the street, does your dog perk up and begin growling? If a bicycle is approaching, does your pup lunge in attack mode? Have you ever been outside walking your dog and when a car approaches he begins to bark and chase after it?

These scenarios are far too common. I often am asked, “Why is my dog so leash-reactive?” Before we delve into how to modify leash aggression, we must cover some basics and understand why this behavior occurs in the first place. Which, most of the time, boils down to understanding why dogs are fearful.

Why Are Dogs Fearful?

Dogs get scared easily if they are not appropriately socialized to new people, places and things. Dogs enjoy novel things, so exposing them to new environments, sounds, smells, sites, tactile surfaces and tastes provide your pup with enriching experiences. These positive socialization experiences will help to make him more resilient to these stimuli in the future.

However, when a dog isn’t properly socialized, walks can actually cause him stress and he can become reactive to new stimuli. To understand why a dog may exhibit fear while on a walk, it helps to understand the psychological development process your dog goes through during his puppy years.

Significance of a Puppy’s Sensitive Period

Novelty becomes frightening and stressful when dogs are not socialized at a very young age. The development of a dog’s social and cognitive behavior is primarily during what is referred to as their “sensitive/critical period.” This sensitive period occurs when a dog is roughly 3 to 13 weeks of age.

During this period, a dog is the most receptive and open to learning and exploring his environment with the least amount of fear and the most amount of curiosity. This sensitive period is very important, because a dog learns more about the world at this time than at any other time in his life. Natural curiosity will guide his way as his sensory, motor, social and learning faculties are developing. However, if a dog has had an unpleasant (fearful) experience during this period, the dog will be timid, shy and fearful.

How Fear Turns Into Reactivity

When a puppy’s shyness is left untreated, it will likely develop into fear, or in more severe cases, into a phobia. Dogs become reactive to novel life events when they are fearful.

A reactive dog will start to display behaviors like lunging at other dogs while on a leash or barking at unfamiliar people, places and things. Reactivity and inappropriate behavior become the norm, not the exception.

Leash reactivity is common in dogs and is seen in more than 50 percent of dogs on leash. When a fearful dog is on a leash, his communication and full body expression are limited. He is incapable of putting distance between himself and any potential scary stimuli. When this occurs, a dog will often resort to reacting: lunging, growling, snapping—all of which are typically described as aggressive behaviors.

To modify behaviors, a trainer will identify the triggers and help the dog find healthier ways for coping with stressful stimuli.

How to Reduce Reactive Behaviors in Your Dog

Fear does not merely go away on its own by exposing a dog randomly to environments or stimuli that frighten him. If you force a reactive dog to be exposed to a stimulus that the dog is scared of, the dog’s fear will most likely escalate and the dog will become sensitized, not desensitized, to the stimulus—the opposite of what is needed.

When dealing with a fearful dog, it’s best to consult an experienced, professional trainer or behaviorist. The professional you choose starts by gathering as much information as possible on your dog, including medical history, the development and growth of the dog, emotional states, training history, environmental factors, family information, exercise, diet, nutrition, enrichment and socialization history and routines. Once the trainer or behaviorist has a good sense of your dog’s developmental experiences, they will set up a behavior-modification protocol.

This protocol involves the stimuli that triggers your dog’s behavior, your dog’s behavior and the consequence of the behavior. In the protocol, the trainer will move the dog far enough away from the stimuli so that your dog feels safe and no longer threatened by the offending stimuli. The trainer may also take your dog completely out of the environment.

Once your dog feels safe in his environment, the trainer will begin teaching your dog foundational behaviors. Foundation behaviors will look like basic confidence-building dog training (like sit, down and stay). After many repetitions of these behaviors where no fear is exhibited, we begin to practice generalizing these behaviors in many environments without the fear-inducing stimulus present.

After your dog becomes comfortable with performing these tasks, you can begin to gradually and methodically introduce him to the stimuli that are scary to him.

At this point, a systematic desensitizing and counterconditioning (D/CC) behavior modification protocol will be put into place. This methodical rehearsal should be planned out with a professional very carefully and thoroughly.

Some of the most common mistakes are rushing your dog by pushing them too far too fast, or some aspect of the protocol is not set up properly or executed correctly. This will cause your dog to become sensitized instead of desensitized to the stimuli and make them even more reactive and the problem behavior more serious. In more severe cases, it can cause the formation of a conditioned emotional response (CER). It is wise to consult a professional behaviorist with extensive experience when working with reactive dogs, fears, anxieties, phobias and behavior modification.

Additional Takeaways

  • Always set your fearful dog up for success.
  • Use proper equipment such as muzzles, front attaching harnesses, martingale collars or head halters.
  • Use positive and humane training techniques to encourage confidence-building.
  • Merely exposing a dog to scary stimuli does not typically cure or help their fear. Most of the time it sensitizes him to it and increases the dog’s
  • Hire a professional to set up a structured behavior modification plan, practice desensitizing and counterconditioning (D/CC) to implement systematically and successfully.
  • Consider anti-anxiety medications or supplements if phobias exist and other remedies don’t work. Be mindful that these medications or supplements work best when used in conjunction with a behavior modification plan.

The Becker Green Classroom would not be possible without our volunteers. They teach the garden classes, water the gardens, plan events, maintain the house and sheds, sit on the steering committee and board, market our program, plan garden lessons, fundraise, write grants …

To help spotlight all the things volunteers help with we are starting a regular blog post focusing on the volunteer experience. Our first entry is written by Mary Folse, a parent volunteer that had no previous garden experience when she signed up last year.

704E509B-FFA1-4F51-83B1-F28ACA334695Photo courtesy of Mrs. Ross, Becker Pre-K teacher.

I have an undefeated body count on house plants; who are you people who can keep a Peace Lily alive? I hate bugs, spiders, snakes, and mosquitos eat me whole. I hate camping. I wear heels in Austin (rebel life) and I like to keep my nails painted.

So, when I offered to help at Becker, I was not expecting to be asked to lead a green garden class for sixteen 4-5 year olds. I panicked as all the thoughts ran through my mind: what do I do with them, my succulents even die, I have a 1 year old baby that I work from home with, what have I gotten myself into.

On my first day, I set the alarm off in the classroom. Surely an omen that the garden was alerting the plants of their impending end. It was a rough day. I wasn’t sure what to do with the kids. So, they were running around picking flowers, trying to touch the pond, playing with the shovels, basically everything you aren’t supposed to do. Plus, I had a twenty-five pound baby strapped to my stomach. I felt overwhelmed, but, I am not a quitter! That first day ignited my determination to conquer my green thumb. I resolved to learn with the students as opposed to teaching them.

With a different outlook, I volunteered for another class with a seasoned green garden teacher. She taught me a lot! Additionally, I would run down other green garden volunteers in the school halls, or by car, whichever was easiest, asking questions, for lesson plans, or ideas. In this journey everyone was extremely gracious and helpful. I was able to gain great relationships with the volunteers in green garden, and the children and parents at Becker.

I am the most proud of my green garden class, pre-K Gonzalez , who braved through with me as we learned so much this year. We successfully grew strawberries, kale, lettuce, carrots (sure we accidentally pulled some thinking they were weeds), brussels sprouts, tomatoes, and beautiful flowers. We learned about the life cycle of butterflies, rain, and trees. We made bird feeders, pictures, flower mosaics, and peanut games. The kids loved the baby and I often allowed them to touch her little feet as a reward for good behavior. It was a welcomed responsibility and I grew to love our time in nature, even though, I still can’t keep a Peace Lily alive.

Mary Folse

If you would like to volunteer at the Becker Green Classroom you can attend an Open House, this Saturday, July 27, 2019 from 10:00 – 12:00, or contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Kathy McWhorter, at

A Guide To Discount Bedroom Furniture

Bedroom furniture encompasses furnishing items such as armoires, chest of drawers, daybeds, jewelry chests, headboards, highboys and night stands. An array of furniture ranging from antique to contemporary is now available to grace any bedroom. They come in a wide spectrum of colors, designs, styles and materials including leather, metal, wood and wrought iron. Futons, mattresses and bedding are also forms of t bedroom furniture. One of the recent marketing practices used in selling bedroom furniture is the discounting system. Contrary to the idea that discount bedroom furniture means discounted quality, it has proved to be smart value shopping.

Discount bedroom furniture has become quite popular in recent years, with the introduction of online shopping venues ? an electronic commerce application that came into existence in the 1990s. This venue provides opportunities for customers to select furniture according to their taste and needs. In addition, it offers competitive shopping by promoting savings in terms of money, time and energy. Today, almost all companies have online shopping for discount bedroom furniture. Ashley, Bernhardt, Broyhill, Hooker, Lane, Lexington, Sealy, Shermag, Samuel Lawrence Furniture and Universal are some of the top brand names in the bedroom furniture scenario.

A majority of the companies provide delivery within a minimum number of days, and some offer special on package selections. Services such as custom design service and space planning are also available. Further, most of the companies do not charge a re-stocking fee and provide free shipping. Payments are generally made through credit cards including Visa and MasterCard. But some companies allow alternative means such as debit card, cash on delivery and postal money orders.

Midwife-Led Unit tops 300 births in a year

12th April 2019

Belfast Trust is delighted to announce that the Midwife-Led Unit at the Mater Hospital exceeded 300 births for the first time in 2018.

The 303 babies delivered last year is a continuation of an upward trend in the number of births at the Unit as more women choose midwife-led care during labour.

The unit opened in 2013 and has increased the number of births in 4 of past 5 years, with the total number of deliveries thus far 1,298. The 13% increase in 2018 identifies a growing demand for midwife-led care and underpins the Belfast Trust commitment to providing choice for expectant parents.

Located at the Mater, the MLU has a number of delivery rooms with en-suite facilities and birthing pools as well as access to reflexology and hypnobirthing services. It has facilities for partners to stay throughout labour to make mother and baby as comfortable as possible. Whilst there are criteria for accessing the service, expectant parents wishing to use the service are asked to self-refer online and can arrange a tour of the unit before making a decision.

Jasmine Callow, Midwife Sister at the MLU said: “The unit has been designed for women expecting a healthy pregnancy and a normal birth. Year on year our birthing numbers have increased in the MLU and we are very grateful of all the women who have supported us since we opened in 2013. Exceeding 300 births in one year is an excellent achievement for a standalone unit and we are exceptionally proud of our staff for making this possible.”

“I would say to all expectant mothers that our highly experienced midwives are ideally placed to handle any special circumstances that may occur during your care. Safety is paramount at the MLU.”

Anna For Always

Anna For Always: Book four, and the final installment of the Luka’s Pack series! It’s been months since Anna left Athens behind, and Luka too, but the single night she spent with him and his pack has stayed on her mind…

From the back cover: It’s been nearly five months since Anna’s encounter with Luka and his pack, but the last thing she’s been able to do is forget. Nothing is on her mind so much as Luka, the way he touched her and how much she wants him again.

The same goes for Luka, driven by wolf instincts to find his mate and claim her. Trouble is, all he knows is Anna’s first name…and that he met her, and told her to return, in August.

Lucky for them, Luka’s omega has been playing matchmaker in his spare time, using the considerable resources of his own mate – Luka’s twin brother, Stelios. With their help, Anna may be able to find her way back to the mountain where Luka is waiting.

If they and the magic have their way, Luka’s pack will soon have a new Alpha: an Alpha female. All that’s needed is for the wolf to take his mate.

Anna For Always is available exclusively from Amazon, alone and as part of the Luka’s Pack box set!

Quality is a value we live every day. Bensenville Snelling.

Quality Assurance

There’s a certain amount of hope and trust involved every time you bring a new hire on board. You hope you’ve hired the right candidate; trust that the chosen individual will be up to the demands of the job. Sometimes things work out great! Those times they don’t, companies pay—big time.

A study by the Center for American Progress found that the typical cost associated with hiring and training new employees is 20% to 21% of an employee’s salary. Complex jobs and those that require higher levels of education have much greater turnover costs—up to 213% of the individual’s salary. Other research reveals that 31% of new hires quit within just 6 months! According to the Department of Labor, today the average tenure of an employee in the U.S. is a brief 1 & half years.

How can you protect yourself? Trust Bensenville Snelling to find candidates who will be valued members of your workforce—for years to come.

We interview and screen every candidate.

While other staffing agencies forgo face-to-face interviews with candidates, we personally interview every candidate and conduct a rigorous background check, as well. It’s just two of the many ways we match exceptional people with exceptional opportunities, including military veterans.

Temp-to-Hire Staffing

Snelling actively recruits candidates who are seeking direct hire positions with our clients. when it’s time to expend your workforce, Snelling makes it easy to evaluate promising candidates in a temporary capacity before making a final hiring decision. To learn more about the benefits of this approach, read Why You Should Follow a Temp-to-Hire Model.

Old school Voice FX reloaded or how to create custom…

More and more fancy plugINs with almost umlimited options and possibilities come our way and I am really happy about that, because I love using them a lot. My sessions are packed and I test whatever I can download as a demo. But there is also an unlimited rescource of great audio suite options and tricks we all used years ago or still using in particular situations. Since a few days, after opening an old session, I started to do a lot of audio suite layering and processing – again. And sure thing I played around with the audio suite tricks and added some Insert plugIns to the track. SO back to the good old days! Check out the screenshots and my detailed explanation of bpm related delay layering.

1. Reverse Reverb Layering 3.0

Copy the section of the audio track you want to highlight to your track below, reverse it, mark the file (plus additional air for a flyIn sound) and process a reverb to it. Use whatever preset or reverb plugIn you like (f.e. I like to use the True Verb a lot). Then reverse the file again and place the file exactly below your original file. Fade in the File for a flyIn feel. Now you can add a low cut filter EQ with 400 – 800Hz, the Mondo Mod (“Full Rotor Preset” or “Where Is It Preset” for Stereo Feel) or whatever you like as an Insert PlugIn to the track.

2. Pitch Layering 3.0

Copy the section of the audio track you want to highlight to your track below. Open up a Audio Suite Pitch PlugIn and play around (f.e. I love Pitch’n’Time and the straight way down or up), layer bother tracks and mix it proper. You can add a low cut fiter EQ, play around with the panning, use a SciFI, Flange or else to make it even more interesting and jump out of the speakers.

3. Delay Layering 3.0

Before Echoboy, EchoFarm and all the fancy Delay PlugIns I used the Long or Extra Long Delay from digidesign a lot or just copied my audio track or the section I wanted a delay on to the track(s) below. If you are in the Grid Mode, you can copy paste the file beatmatched and bpm related, which makes sense to me. Then I started playing around with filter EQs or else. A great trick for a stunning fade out is: Normalize the delay files to one file, mark almost the entire file, process a filter to it and then pull up the old track and do a crossfade, you will have wonderful and sweet delay fading out into the song or musicbed. Feel free to play aroudn with panning, f.e. use a left and a right panned track for ping pong sound (maybe insert different EQs or plugIns in each track), use Pitch audiosuite plugIns to go down or up with the delay or use an automization for the Insert plugINs you have choosed. I promise: You will love the custom results you can achieve with ease and use them like you use your delay presets in Echoboy and else. Play around, have fun and create your OWN CUSTOMIZED PRESETS.
