Revelation 8 YLT98 [abbreviation] brought to you by [publisher] Learn More

1And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,
2and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,
4and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;
5and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;
7and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
8And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood,
9and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters,
11and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine--the third of it, and the night in like manner.
13And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Woe, woe, woe, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.'

Bible Book List

2 Samuel 3Tree of Life Version (TLV)

Betrayal of Abner

Now the war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. While David grew steadily stronger, the house of Saul grew steadily weaker. Sons were born to David in Hebron: his firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam of Jezreel; his second was Chileab by Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; the third was Absalom son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur; the fourth was Adonijah son of Haggith; the fifth was Shephatiah son of Abital; and the sixth, Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron.

During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner strengthened his position in the house of Saul. Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah daughter of Aiah; and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, “Why have you slept with my father’s concubine?”

But Abner became very angry over Ish-bosheth’s words and said, “Am I a dog’s head from Judah? To this day I’ve been loyal to the house of Saul your father, to his kinsmen, and to his friends, and I haven’t handed you over to David—yet today you are accusing me of wrongdoing with this woman. May God do so to Abner and even more if, as Adonai has sworn to David, I don’t accomplish this for him— 10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba!” 11 But Ish-bosheth could not respond to Abner another word, because he was afraid of him.

12 Then Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf saying, “Whose is the land? Make your covenant with me, and see, my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”

13 “Good!” said David. “I will cut a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you will not see my face unless you first bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see my face.”

14 Then David sent messengers to Saul’s son Ish-bosheth demanding, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for 100 Philistine foreskins.” 15 So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel son of Laish. 16 But her husband accompanied her, weeping as he went, and followed her as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go, return!” So he returned.

17 Now Abner had a word with the elders of Israel saying, “In times past you wanted David to be king over you. 18 So now do it! For Adonai has spoken of David saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David I will deliver My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’” 19 Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin. Then Abner went to Hebron to speak in the hearing of David about all that was agreeable to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

20 When Abner came to David in Hebron along with 20 other men, David held a banquet for Abner and the men with him. 21 Abner said to David, “Let me get up and go rally all Israel to my lord the king, so that they may cut a covenant with you, and you may reign over all that your soul desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he departed in shalom.

22 Just then, David’s soldiers and Joab came from a raid, bringing with them much spoil. By then Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he departed in shalom. 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, they told Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in shalom.”

24 Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Look here, Abner came to you—why did you send him away? Now he is getting away! 25 You know Abner son of Ner—surely he came to deceive you, to spy on your goings and comings, and to find out all that you are doing.”

26 When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner, so they brought him back from the well of Sirah, though David knew nothing about it. 27 Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside within the gate to speak with him privately, and there stabbed him in the groin, so that he died—on account of the blood of his brother Asahel. 28 When David heard about it afterward, he said, “I and my kingdom are innocent before Adonai forever from the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 May it whirl on Joab’s head and on all his father’s house. May the house of Joab never be without someone with discharge or tza’arat, lame or one fallen by the sword or one who lacks food.” 30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battle.

31 Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Rend your clothes, gird with sackcloth, and lament before Abner.” King David walked behind the platform. 32 When they buried Abner in Hebron, the king lifted up his voice and wept aloud at Abner’s grave, and all the people wept. 33 Then the king chanted a lament for Abner and said,

“Should Abner die like a senseless fool?
34 Your hands were not bound,
    your feet were never put in fetters.
As one falls
    before the children of iniquity,
    so did you fall.”

Then all the people wept again over him. 35 Then all the people came to urge David to eat some food while it was still day, but David vowed saying, “May God do so to me and even more if I taste food or anything else before the sun sets.” 36 All the people took note of it and it pleased them, just as everything the king did pleased all the people. 37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king’s will to kill Abner son of Ner. 38 Then the king said to his soldiers, “Don’t you realize that a prince and a great man has fallen in Israel today? 39 So today I am vulnerable, even though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me to handle. May Adonai reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”

Israel's sacred terrorism; a study based on Moshe Sharett's Personal Diary and other documents. With an introduction by Noam Chomsky

Belmont, MA: Association of Arab-American University Graduates, Inc. 1980. xiii, 68p., trade-size wraps in very good condition. AAUG information paper series no. 23.

Dynamite. Wikipedia-level blurts on a par with leaks Europe sees but not disseminated in US. "On April 11, 1980, the AAUG received communication from a well-known law firm in new York requesting in the 'firmest manner possible' that we refrain from printing, publishing or otherwise reproducing portions of the Diary. The law firm acting on behalf of the family of the late Moshe Sharett and the Israeli publisher of the Diary, theatened to 'initiate prompt litigation in a Federal District Court.'" Chomsky comments that "to maintain such doctrines" (as that Israel is a 'hapless victim') "it is necessary scrupulously to avoid crucial documentation" (such as these spontaneous memoranda by Israel's early 1950s foreign minister, then Prime Minister, Sharett).

Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui to star in Rajshree Ojha’s next?

Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui to star in Rajshree Ojha’s next?

The last directorial of Rajshree Ojha, more famously known for Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Aisha’, was a short film titled ‘Biryani’, which was a part of the anthology, ‘X: Past Is Present’. According to a leading daily, her next film will be based on the controversial Kashmiri all-girl rock-band, Pragaash. If reports are to be believed, Alia Bhatt, Shabana Azmi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui have been approached to play the lead roles in the film.

  • Pragaash was a band which had three teenage Muslim girls, guitarist and vocalist Noma Nazir Bhatt, drummer Farah Deeba and Aneeqa Khalid who used to play bass guitar. However, when the band was formed, scholars alleged the trio had broken the Islamic code. After winning their first award at a National Battle of the Bands event in Srinagar, the girls started getting death and rape threats on the phone and via Facebook.

    On February 3, 2013, Mufti Bashiruddin Ahmad, Kashmir’s state-appointed cleric, issued a fatwa against the group, stating that music was “not good for society” and all “the bad things happening in the Indian society are because of music”. The band got a lot of support globally, online, but unfortunately the girls decided to call off the band, towards the end of 2014.

    Rajshree has been writing and researching about the film for the past one year. She has met the girls and their families, along with journalists and police officers in the region. The director even visited the Presentation Convent High School in Rajbagh where the girls studied and met their teachers.

    She was planning to fly to Kashmir with a team of five for the final recce and prep, but she has postponed her trip due unrest in the Valley.

    However, the shooting of the film will most probably start by early next year. Alia is reportedly roped in to play the lead vocalist of the band and will be seen singing a few songs in the film as well. Shabana Azmi has been offered  the role which will be based on Asiya Andrabi, a pro-Pakistan separatist and the founding leader of Dukhtaran-e-Millat – Daughters of the Nation – which was a part of the separatist All Parties Hurriyat Conference in the Valley.

    A source said, “Asiya Andrabi is one of the most important women separatists and often referred to as Kashmir’s Iron Lady. Her burqa and spectacles will be a crucial part of the character’s look in the film.”

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been approached to portray the role of a police officer.

    Looks like this is going to be a hub of power packed performances.

Print Excerpt

Chapter 1

A flattened and drying daffodil was dangling off the little card that I had made my aunt Atie for Mother's Day. I pressed my palm over the flower and squashed it against the plain beige cardboard. When I turned the corner near the house, I saw her sitting in an old rocker in the yard, staring at a group of children crushing dried yellow leaves into the ground. The leaves had been left in the sun to dry. They would be burned that night at the konbit potluck dinner.

I put the card back in my pocket before I got to the yard. When Tante Atie saw me, she raised the piece of white cloth she was embroidering and waved it at me. When I stood in front of her, she opened her arms just wide enough for my body to fit into them.

"How was school?" she asked, with a big smile.

She bent down and kissed my forehead, then pulled me down onto her lap.

"School was all right," I said. "I like everything but those reading classes they let parents come to in the afternoon. Everybody's parents come except you. I never have anyone to read with, so Monsieur Augustin always pairs me off with an old lady who wants to learn her letters, but does not have children at the school."

"I do not want a pack of children teaching me how to read," she said. "The young should learn from the old. Not the other way. Besides, I have to rest my back when you have your class. I have work."

A blush of embarrassment rose to her brown cheeks.

"At one time, I would have given anything to be in school. But not at my age. My time is gone. Cooking and cleaning, looking after others, that's my school now. That schoolhouse is your school. Cutting cane was the only thing for a young one to do when I was your age. That is why I never want to hear you complain about your school." She adjusted a pink head rag wrapped tightly around her head and dashed off a quick smile revealing two missing side teeth. "As long as you do not have to work in the fields, it does not matter that I will never learn to read that ragged old Bible under my pillow."

Whenever she was sad, Tante Atie would talk about the sugar cane fields, where she and my mother practically lived when they were children. They saw people die there from sunstroke every day. Tante Atie said that, one day while they were all working together, her father - my grandfather - stopped to wipe his forehead, leaned forward, and died. My grandmother took the body in her arms and tried to scream the life back into it. They all kept screaming and hollering, as my grandmother's tears bathed the corpse's face. Nothing would bring my grandfather back.

The bélét man was coming up the road. He was tall and yellow like an amber roach. The children across the road lined up by the fence to watch him, clutching one another as he whistled and strolled past them.

This albino, whose name was Chabin, was the biggest lottery agent in the village. He was thought to have certain gifts that had nothing to do with the lottery, but which Tante Atie believed put the spirits on his side. For example, if anyone was chasing him, he could turn into a snake with one flip of his tongue. Sometimes, he could see the future by looking into your eyes, unless you closed your soul to him by thinking of a religious song and prayer while in his presence.

I could tell that Tante Atie was thinking of one of her favorite verses as he approached. Death is the shepherd of man and in the final dawn, good will be the master of evil.

"Honneur, mes belles, Atie, Sophie."

Chabin winked at us from the front gate. He had no eyelashes - or seemed to have none. His eyebrows were tawny and fine like corn silk, but he had a thick head of dirty red hair.

"How are you today?" he asked.

"Today, we are fine," Tante Atie said. "We do not know about tomorrow."

About this Book

Book Summary

Leavitt captures the longings of first love, the intense emotions of open adoption and the price of betrayal.

The longings of first love. The intense emotions of open adoption. And the price of betrayal.

Sara is sixteen and pregnant. Her once-devoted boyfriend seems to have disappeared, and her only option seems to be an open adoption with George and Eva, an older couple desperate for a child. But after the birth, it's clear Sara has a bond with the child that Eva can't seem to duplicate. And when Sara can't let go, Eva and George make a drastic decision with devastating consequences for all of them.

Chapter One

Sara's pains are coming ten minutes apart now. Every time one comes, she jolts herself against the side of the car, trying to disappear. Everything outside is whizzing past her from the car window because Jack, her father, is speeding, something she's never seen him do before. Sara grips the armrest, her knuckles white. She presses her back against the seat and digs her feet onto the floor, as if any moment she will fly from the car. Stop, she wants to say. Slow down. Stop. But she can't form the words, can't make her mouth work properly. Can't do anything except wait in terror for the next pain. Jack hunches over the wheel, beeping his horn though there isn't much traffic. His face is reflected in the rearview mirror, but he doesn't look at her. Instead, he can't seem to keep himself from looking at Abby, Sara's mother, who is sitting in the back with Sara. His face is unreadable. He keeps pushing back his hair, thick and brown, ...

Please be aware that this discussion guide may contain spoilers!
  1. Abby makes a point of telling Sara what she calls "girls in trouble" stories about the awful times unmarried pregnant girls suffered in the 1950s. But who really are the "girls in trouble" in this book-and why?

  2. At one point in the novel, Sara drops off all the gifts she's bought and saved for Anne and leaves them, "like abandoned babies" at a church doorstep. She says this is a new script, one she's writing for herself. Anne, too, uses writing to reshape and understand her life. Why are stories--the ones we tell each other and the ones we tell ourselves--so important in this book? How are some of these stories misinterpreted?

  3. Why do you think Leavitt made Eva and George older parents? How does this figure into the themes ...

Media Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle

The strengths of Girls In Trouble lie in the questions it raises about complicated love, both family and romantic.

Glamour Magazine

Given the hot topic of this novel--open adoptions gone wrong, you'd expect a finger-pointing, too PC-tone. But Leavitt's surprising take will get your book group really talking.

Carole Goldberg - The Hartford Courant

A piercing spin on the theme of Romeo and Juliet. Leavitt makes this story refreshingly new. There are no villains here, just believable people trying to make the best of a difficult situation and - children and adults alike - growing up and growing wiser.

Smoky Mountain News - Jeff Minick

Leavitt displays her considerable talents for insight into the human heart. Clear, crystalline style...we are in the presence of a writer who values words.

BookSense 76 Selection

The ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and pitfalls of open adoption. The reader will empathize with each point of view. The characters are well developed and likable, and the story is compelling.

The Celebrity Cafe

Emotionally charged story about first love, resentment, self discovery, family and forgiveness. Deeply touching, honest and memorable.

The Washington Post - Carrie Brown

The success of Girls in Trouble is that it is both a page-turner and also a canny portrait of the trouble perfectly ordinary people can get into while trying to satisfy their perfectly ordinary needs for love and security and happiness. The pleasure of this novel, our enjoyment of it, comes from Leavitt's wisdom about the deep chasm of misfortune, her exploration of misfortune's steep slope and her recognition that climbing out of misfortune's pit, step by arduous step, requires a heroism that literature, with its capacity for rendering the elevated quality of ordinary experience, can portray so beautifully.

Publishers Weekly

Leavitt's uneven but earnest eighth novel examines the emotional price a bright Massachusetts teen pays when she chooses open adoption for a baby she gives birth to at 16.

Kirkus Reviews

A sadly familiar tale by Leavitt, though ably written in a straightforward style likely to appeal to teenagers and their parents as well.

Booklist - Gillian Engberg

In this wrenching exploration of parent-child relationships, Leavitt captures the tensions and rhythms of family attachments--the unspoken language, the simmering resentments and sweet hopes, the blinding, protective love that can both damage and heal.

Library Journal - Nanci Milone Hill

This is a wonderful story of family relationships, the choices we make, and whom we can count on. Recommended for all public libraries.

Author Blurb Sandra Benitez — author of A Place Where the Sea Remembers and The Weight of All Things
A touching, heartfelt story showing that love can be a tangled journey

Author Blurb Gail Tsukiyama — author of Dreaming Water
The beauty of Caroline Leavitt's writing is in her flawless depiction of our human flaws. In Girls in Trouble, we ache for Sara, whose youthful decision will color the rest of her life--a poignant story of family and love, of what we lose, and sometimes, what we find again.

Author Blurb Elizabeth Strout — author of Amy and Isabelle
Heartfelt, filled with humanity, this story about the different forms of family bonds is a joy to read.

Author Blurb Kate Grenville — Orange Prize winning author of The Idea of Perfection
Kept me pinned to the page, swept along in an intense emotional journey with characters so real they seemed like friends. A beautifully written, moving and very wise book.

Author Blurb Laura Kasischke — author of The Life Before Her Eyes
Astonishing...there is a radiant joy that shines through it...a novel as rich and complex as it is meticulous.

Author Blurb Margot Livesey — author of Eva Moves the Furniture
What makes Caroline Leavitt's work so remarkable is her ability to conjure a whole range of disparate and difficult characters onto the page and to make us care deeply about each and all of them. Girls in Trouble is both utterly engrossing and richly satisfying.

Author Blurb Suzanne Beecher — Chapter-a-Day Bookclubs and Working Mother book columnist
Leavitt's heroine was pregnant at sixteen, and so was I....This book made me not only want to talk about what happened to me, but to claim it.

Author Blurb Abby Frucht — author of Polly's Ghost and Are You Mine?
Sara Rothman could be anybody's daughter...but her frank, warm, wise, gripping story, Girls in Trouble, could only be Caroline Leavitt's.

Beyond the Book

According to

SA defend Adelaide Sevens title

6 April 2009

The South African Sevens rugby team successfully defended its IRB Sevens Series Adelaide title on the weekend, thus establishing an almost unassailable lead in the series standings. In a first ever all-African final, South Africa beat Kenya 26-7 to take the honours.

The victory by Paul Treu’s charges leaves them on 104 points, 28 clear of England, who are in second place on 76 points. Fiji, in third, are only two points behind England, on 74 points. Argentina occupy fifth place, on 68 points.

Last year’s champions, New Zealand, are out of the running for the 2008/09 title. They languish in fifth place, on 64 points, just two points clear of Kenya, who have emerged as a team capable of beating any other team on the circuit.

Pool results

Indeed, the Kenyans beat South Africa 15-14, with a late try in their pool match, to finish top of the pool. South Africa had cruised past the Cook Islands by 28 points to seven in their opening match and then crushed Japan 43-0.

The loss to Kenya left SA with a quarterfinal showdown against New Zealand, who had beaten Wales 24-10, Tonga 33-0, and the USA 27-5 to finish on top of Pool C.

In the quarterfinals, the New Zealanders were kept scoreless by strong defence from South Africa. Meanwhile, Renfred Dazel, Mzwandile Stick and Lionel Mapoe scored tries for SA as they triumphed 17-0.

Kenya had little problem with Wales, recording an emphatic 33-14 win, while Fiji – the winner of the previous tournament in Hong Kong, where they edged South Africa 24-23 in the final – thrashed England 40-0. Hosts Australia gave Argentina a tough game, but eventually went down by 12 points to five.

In the semi-finals, Kenya built up a 12-0 half-time lead and then shared the spoils in the second half as they dumped Argentina 17-5 to book their place in the final. It marked the first time in their history that they had reached a Cup final.

In the other semi-final, it was a rematch of the Hong Kong final. Fiji were first on the board through a try by Nasoni Roko, but Lionel Mapoe replied with two tries for South Africa, both converted, to put SA 14-5 in front.

A unconverted try by Vereniki Goneva pulled the Fijians to within four points, but Vuyo Zangqa ensured South Africa would progress to the title-deciding game with the team’s third converted try, thus making the final score 21-10.

That meant South Africa faced a Kenyan team that had beaten them 15-14 earlier in the tournament for the Cup. They had also scored a 22-17 win over SA in Wellington; it would take a solid and disciplined performance to stifle the free-flowing running of Kenya.

The final

As the teams ran onto the field, the majority of the vociferous Adelaide crowd was behind the underdog Kenyans, who were chasing their first ever Cup title. South Africa, however, quickly gave their supporters plenty to cheer when Robert Ebersohn side-stepped his way to an early try.

Kenya hit back through captain Humphrey Kayange and the successful conversion levelled the scores at 7-7. Vuyo Zangqa then weaved his way through the Kenyan defence and his goaled try put South Africa seven points clear at 14-7.

Just before half-time Kenya had a lucky let-off when SA won a penalty in the middle of the field, on the Kenyan 22-metre line. Captain Mpho Mbiyozo told Renfred Dazel to kick at goal when a try from the ideal attacking position would have put Kenya under huge pressure. Dazel missed and the teams turned at 14-7 in South Africa’s favour and the contest very much in the balance.

Second half

Kenya attacked fiercely after the break, but South Africa defended exceptionally – isolating the man with the ball, getting numbers to the man, and then preventing him releasing the ball, which resulted in a number of turnovers of possession.

Paul Treu’s charges then put one hand on the trophy when Ryno Benjamin crossed for South Africa’s third try. He sprinted from left to right across the Kenyan 22-metre area, showed the ball as if for a switch inside to the man on right – which was enough to cause the defenders hesitate – and then dived over in the right hand corner.

With time running out, Renfred Dazel put the icing on the case with a well-judged chip and chase, which saw him gather the ball over the Kenyan try-line and dot down.

With only tournaments in London and Edinburgh remaining, South Africa will be almost impossible to catch in the standings.

If they finish on top of the table, it will be a first ever overall title for South Africa.

  • DRaaS Best Practices - 5 Critical Recovery Steps Feb 23 2017 6:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offers organizations one of the most viable recovery options available to them in recent years. The ability to have an on-demand recovery site that is pre-seeded with your data should dramatically lower costs and improve recovery times, even in the worst of disasters. But IT professionals can't take for granted that DRaaS providers will continue to cover data protection basics while also providing a seamless recovery experience. In this webinar, join Storage Switzerland Lead Analyst George Crump and Carbonite Senior Solutions Engineer Jason Earley as they provide you with the 5 Critical Recovery Steps for using DRaaS.
  • Is Your Storage Ready for Disaster? Feb 22 2017 6:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    W. Curtis Preston
    The recovery expectations of users and organizations is changing and their tolerance for downtime is lower than ever. IT professionals can no longer rely on the traditional backup and recovery process to meet these new requirements. Primary storage needs to do more, and simple LUN-based replication is not going to get the job done. Instead data centers need to look for primary storage that has advanced replication capabilities and can integrate with multiple hypervisors and existing data protection solutions to create a holistic disaster recovery strategy.

In the meantime, the amount of data that organizations store continues to grow at an alarming pace and the backup and recovery expectations of users are higher than ever. Most backup solutions today simply will not be able to keep pace with these realities. If organizations don't act now to address the weaknesses in their backup hardware, they will not be able to meet organizational demands by 2020. In this webinar, Cloudian and Storage Switzerland will discuss three areas where IT professionals need to expect more from their backup hardware and where they should demand less.

    Four Reasons Why Backup Hardware Will Break by 2020:

    1. Not Cost Effective Enough
    2. Not Scalable Enough
    3. Only Good for Backups - Not Enough Use Cases
    4. Too Much Deduplication
  • How To Design High Performance, Cost Effective Splunk Storage Recorded: Jan 12 2017 57 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Splunk does an excellent job of managing data, moving data between tiers which it calls buckets. But assigning Splunk to data management tasks takes compute power away from the primary objective — rapid data analysis. In this live webinar Storage Switzerland and Tegile will discuss how the default Splunk architecture works today, what the challenges with that architecture are and how to design a storage architecture for Splunk that is both high performance and cost effective.
  • The Art of Storage Management Recorded: Dec 15 2016 62 mins
    George Crump, Curtis Preston
    Any organization that takes a moment to study the data on their primary storage system will quickly realize that the majority (as much as 90 percent) of data that is stored on it has not been accessed for months if not years. Moving this data to a secondary tier of storage could free up massive amount of capacity, eliminating a storage upgrade for years. Making this analysis frequently is called data management, and proper management of data can not only reduce costs it can improve data protection, retention and preservation.
  • Proving It! A step by step Demo: Containerizing Legacy Applications Recorded: Dec 14 2016 60 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Storage Switzerland and HyperGrid recently held a webinar entitled "How and Why to Containerize Your Legacy Applications.”. It is one of our highest attended webinars this year. The number one request from that webinar? "I want to see this thing work!" To answer that request Storage Switzerland and HyperGrid are conducting another webinar where we will review how to containerize legacy applications, provide a couple of specific examples of how customers are using and benefiting from containerized legacy applications and, most importantly, have a live demo showing a legacy application’s transformation into a modern, containerized application.
  • End NAS Sprawl - Gain Control Over Unstructured Data Recorded: Dec 13 2016 60 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    The key to ending NAS Sprawl is to fix the file system so it can offer cost effective, scalable, high performance storage. In this live webinar Storage Switzerland Lead Analyst George Crump, Quantum VP of Global Marketing Molly Rector, and the Quantum StorNext Solution Marketing Senior Director Dave Frederick discuss the challenges facing the typical scale-out storage environment and what IT professionals should be looking for in solutions to eliminate NAS Sprawl once and for all.

    In this webinar learn:

    1. What's Causing NAS Sprawl
    2. How Vendors are putting bandaids on the problem
    3. What to look for in a unifying file system
  • How Viable is Google ColdLine Cloud Storage? Recorded: Dec 8 2016 62 mins
    Curtis Preston, Storage Switzerland
    Google has recently announced expansion of their cloud storage service. It offers similar service levels as Amazon S-3 and Glacier, but with simplified pricing. How viable is their cloud storage product for the average customer? How do their service levels compare to Amazon and Azure service levels? What about pricing? Is it really that different? And what are some example use cases?

    Other questions center around applications that support these offerings. If an application supports Amazon, will it be easy for them to support Google? Is there anything about Google cloud storage that makes it easier or harder for service providers to work with them?
  • Preserve, Distribute and Deliver - M&E's Three Biggest Data Challenges Recorded: Dec 1 2016 63 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    In this webinar Storage Switzerland and Caringo, providers of cloud and object storage, will discuss why preservation, distribution and delivery is so critical for M&E IT and also why it is so challenging to deliver. More importantly, we will discuss practical solutions to these challenges so IT departments can lead their organizations to more monetization opportunities.
  • The Bifurcation of the Flash Market Recorded: Nov 30 2016 62 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    High Performance or Capacity - Making the Right Choice

    The flash market started out monolithically. Flash was a single media type (high performance, high endurance SLC flash). Flash systems also had a single purpose of accelerating the response time of high-end databases. But now there are several flash options. Users can choose between high performance flash or highly dense, medium performance flash systems. At the same time, high capacity hard disk drives are making a case to be the archival storage medium of choice. How does an IT professional choose?
  • Pros and Cons of Cloud Backup Recorded: Nov 17 2016 43 mins
    Curtis Preston, Storage Switzerland
    Before we had what we now call the cloud, there were services we now call cloud backup services that had been backing up other people’s data over the Internet for several years. Technology has come a long way and many more people are now considering backing up their data to the cloud, and they find themselves asking a number of questions.

    Just how much data can you backup to the cloud? How does a cloud backup vendor handle large restores? Will it take weeks to restore my data? What about security? Does it make financial sense to backup to the cloud, or is it just en vogue to do so? Could I actually save money by backing up to the cloud.
  • Modern Storage Infrastructures for Modernized Data Centers Recorded: Nov 17 2016 61 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland

    * How storage needs to change to deliver performance, scaleability and flexibility
    * How a modern storage architecture can propel modern applications into new use cases
  • Does Object Storage Make Sense for Backups? Recorded: Nov 17 2016 61 mins
    Curtis Preston, Storage Switzerland
    Everyone understands disk has become the primary target for backups in the last several years. It’s also safe to say that the main type of disk storage used as a target for backups would be a purpose-built backup appliance that presents itself to the backup application as an NFS or SMB server and then deduplicates any backups stored on it.

    But what about object storage? Object storage vendors tout that their systems are less expensive to buy and less expensive to operate than traditional disk arrays and NAS appliances. So, does it make sense to use them for backups? How much is deduplication a factor and is deduplication even available with object storage? What else can object storage bring to the table that traditional disk backup appliances can’t?
  • Other People's Storage - What Can You Really Store in the Cloud? Recorded: Nov 16 2016 43 mins
    George Crump, Founder Storage Switzerland
    The cloud is not a magical place where unicorns and leprechauns live. They are well run data centers that most organizations can leverage is some form or fashion. One of the most appealing use cases for the cloud is as a storage location. There are options available for primary, secondary, archive and backup storage. Cloud storage can also be combined with cloud compute to deliver disaster recovery.
  • Performance vs. Cost - Solving The HPC Storage Tug-of-War Recorded: Nov 10 2016 52 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    The HPC storage performance tier is well defined: scale-out solid state storage systems. But the capacity tier is up for debate. Should you use a high end NAS file system or make the switch to object storage? More importantly: How do you move data from the performance tier to the capacity tier without placing additional burden on already overworked IT personnel?

    We will answer these questions and provide designs that solve the HPC storage-tug-of-war in our webinar with Caringo. Join us as experts on HPC, NAS and Object Storage discuss the HPC storage challenge, debate the potential solutions and provide you guidance on how to create the right architecture.
  • Do Hyperconverged Systems Need File Services? Recorded: Nov 9 2016 60 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) products have significantly grown in popularity in the last few years, leading many vendors to adopt a hyperconverged approach. VMware is adding to its portfolio a series of products that make its product more suitable to hyperconverged environments.

    One concern is hyperconverged infrastructures often leave out one of the core services that many IT environments have come to rely on: Shared file services. Since shared file services is not built into most HCI products, it leaves customers with a few choices, each of which come with advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, the customer can choose to provide file services from a VM or purchase a dedicated NAS product to run separate from the HCI environment. There is also the opportunity to integrate the cloud as part of the file services option. There may also be the opportunity to improve or offload the challenges associated with data protection.

  • Sizing Up Object Storage for the Enterprise Recorded: Nov 3 2016 61 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Object Storage promises many things - unlimited scalability, both in terms of capacity and file count, low cost but highly redundant capacity and excellent connectivity to legacy NAS. But, despite these promises object storage has not caught on in the enterprise like it has in the cloud. It seems like, for the enterprise object storage just isn’t a good fit. The problem is that most object storage system’s starting capacity is too large. And while connectivity to legacy NAS systems is available, seamless integration is not. Can object storage be sized so that it is a better fit for the enterprise?
  • How and Why to Containerize Your Legacy Applications Recorded: Nov 1 2016 61 mins
    George Crump, Storage Switzerland
    Agile IT: it is far easier to say than to implement. But data centers need to make the move to Agile IT so their organizations can survive the digital transformation. At the heart of these efforts are modern DevOps environments that leverage container technology to create applications that are mobile and scale, up or down, as demand requires. The problem is most data centers also have legacy, not containerized, applications that are inflexible and immobile. The combination of a burgeoning DevOps Infrastructure and Legacy Applications is called “bi-modal IT” but it is not ideal.

    Join experts from Storage Switzerland and HyperGrid as they discuss new alternatives to bi-modal IT that allow organizations to containerize legacy applications to create a completely agile data center.

  • Did the Central banks lose the war? Recorded: Nov 10 2016 49 mins
    Eric Vanraes, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager at EI Sturdza Investment Funds
    1. Why you should still stay invested in bonds

    Because bonds are a natural hedge of other asset classes such as equities but it means that you MUST favour high-quality bonds only, with good liquidity and without high correlation to equities in order to deliver positive performance when stock markets are in negative territory.

    2. What are the asset classes that should be favoured?

    In EUR, we favour APP (Asset Purchase Program) bonds (Govies + PSPP + CSPP), i.e. bonds bought by the ECB (EUR 80 billion/month) and in USD, we stay overweight long US Treasuries (both 30y nominal bonds and TIPS which are inflation-linked). In USD, we also favour high quality emerging bonds (but high quality only). We avoid any kind of bonds which eventually behave like equities in bear markets (high yield, deeply subordinated bank debt).

Rhode Island Red rooster. Over the 7,400-year history of chicken (Gallus gallus) domestication, roosters (male chickens) have been used as fighting animals as well as for breeding and meat production.
Chickens have a squat and rounded appearance. They stand less than 70 cm (27.6 inches) tall and weigh approximately 2.6 kg (5.7 pounds) on average. Males (called cocks or roosters) and females (hens) are known for their fleshy combs, lobed wattles hanging below the bill, and high-arched tails. In some roosters, the tail can extend more than 30 cm (12 inches) in length.

Region of first horse domestication.
The first domesticated hens perhaps were used for sport. Cockfighting was instrumental in bringing about the selection of these birds for larger size. Cocks later acquired religious significance. In Zoroastrianism the cock was associated with protection of good against evil and was a symbol of light. In ancient Greece it was also an object of sacrifice to gods. It is probable that egg...

Flag Day

United States holiday
Alternative Title: National Flag Day

Flag Day, also called National Flag Day, in the United States, a day honouring the national flag, observed on June 14. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.

The idea to set aside a day to honour the national flag came from several sources. Bernard J. Cigrand, a Wisconsin schoolteacher, in 1885 urged his students to observe June 14 as “Flag Birthday.” He later wrote an essay published in a Chicago newspaper that urged Americans to proclaim this date as the day to celebrate the flag. In 1888 William T. Kerr of Pennsylvania founded the American Flag Day Association of Western Pennsylvania, an organization to which he dedicated his life. A lesser-known claim is that of George Morris of Connecticut, who is said to have organized the first formal celebration of the day in Hartford in 1861.

In 1916 Pres. Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as the official date for Flag Day, and in 1949 the U.S. Congress permanently established the date as National Flag Day. Although Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, Pennsylvania celebrates the day as a state holiday. Each year the U.S. president delivers an address that proclaims the week of June 14 as National Flag Week, and all Americans are encouraged to fly U.S. flags during that week.

Tips For Editing

We welcome suggested improvements to any of our articles. You can make it easier for us to review and, hopefully, publish your contribution by keeping a few points in mind.

  1. Encyclopædia Britannica articles are written in a neutral objective tone for a general audience.
  2. You may find it helpful to search within the site to see how similar or related subjects are covered.
  3. Any text you add should be original, not copied from other sources.
  4. At the bottom of the article, feel free to list any sources that support your changes, so that we can fully understand their context. (Internet URLs are the best.)

Your contribution may be further edited by our staff, and its publication is subject to our final approval. Unfortunately, our editorial approach may not be able to accommodate all contributions.

Thank You for Your Contribution!

Our editors will review what you've submitted, and if it meets our criteria, we'll add it to the article.

Please note that our editors may make some formatting changes or correct spelling or grammatical errors, and may also contact you if any clarifications are needed.
