WWT, HPE and Intel Maximize CapEx/OpEx Server Benefits

With HPE and Intel, WWT is delivering compute solutions that optimize both CapEx and OpEx expenditures and enable organizations to achieve gains in TCO and ROI.

In This Article

Ideally, a well-planned technology solution should meet a company’s performance, operational and business goals, and provide maximum financial gains — balancing and lowering capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) to maximize return on investment (ROI) and minimize total cost of ownership (TCO). But, all too often, some organizations make IT purchases to address an immediate need, and minimizing CapEx is the only consideration. They end up addressing only part of their overall objective, providing gains for either CapEx (“We need more cost-effective compute”) or OpEx (“We need a better way to manage systems”) — but not both. Instead these objectives are commonly addressed in their own separate vacuums — when in fact the two are related and intertwined.

Take the example of a bargain-minded company that invests in a certain open compute product, only to realize later that it lacks key features necessary to manage the infrastructure. Soon the company starts to fall out of service-level compliance with customers, experiences costly downtime from outages, and even becomes vulnerable to security threats. Result: the OpEx required to repair these proliferating problems totals more than three times the “savings” from this ill-advised CapEx decision.

This scenario illustrates why WWT leverages its longstanding technology partnerships with HPE and Intel to deliver optimized solutions that go beyond the standard metrics of performance, reliability, security and so forth. A compute solution from HPE utilizing Intel® technologies is a choice way to optimize both CapEx and OpEx expenditures — and enable customers to achieve gains in TCO and ROI as well.

Benefits of a combined partnership: WWT, HPE and Intel

Each partner brings a unique value-add to our shared solutions:

  • HPE produces a wide array of server systems that are integrated with Intel technology, spanning processors, persistent memory, storage solutions, and accelerators. For more than a quarter-century, HPE and Intel have collaborated to deliver innovative technology solutions that advance and transform their customers’ data center infrastructure.
  • The Intel technology innovations that reside in HPE data center hardware bring the joint solution to life, introducing flexibility, scalability and simplicity to the modern data center.
  • Finally, add to this collaboration WWT’s integration expertise, as well as unparalleled testing and validation capabilities in the Advanced Technology Center (ATC). The result: joint solutions that enable customers to reap the full benefits of a strategic and optimized OpEx/CapEx approach that will maximize ROI and reduce TCO.

Together, WWT, HPE and Intel work to prove: data center solutions really can benefit from a judicious combination of CapEx/OpEx resources to yield the most effective overall ROI and TCO.

Achieving CapEx benefits from improved performance

CapEx — the investment in physical assets such as data center hardware, personal computing devices and so forth — gives you exclusive ownership of dedicated resources designed to enhance your operation. In the case of leading-edge data center solutions from WWT, HPE and Intel, those new resources can optimize, or actually reduce, capital expenditures by requiring fewer servers to deliver greater performance.

Intel works closely with HPE to integrate and optimize its hardware offerings with the latest Intel technologies for today’s most demanding data center workloads, including:

  • 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors which are purpose-built to drive data center transformation in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics. This next-gen processor features an advanced compute core for rapid, actionable insights and improved machine learning (ML).
  • Intel® Optane™ persistent memory significantly advances in-memory technology by combining large capacity with support for data persistence. Intel PMem, as it’s known, leverages the most useful attributes of robust performance, prodigious memory capacity and rapid-access storage.
  • Intel® Optane™ SSDs for the data center occupy their own never-before-seen tier — the storage/memory hierarchy. These SSDs combine the most useful qualities of memory and storage to reduce bottlenecks and provide low latency, high throughput, greater endurance and improved quality of service.

These Intel technologies, combined with HPE architecture and WWT deployment expertise, combine to create scalable, power-efficient, converged data center environments that conserve resources while delivering superior performance to meet today’s most demanding workloads.

Adding OpEx benefits from simplified IT management

OpEx payments are the day-to-day financial outlays that keep the organization running: rents and leases, utilities, payroll, services and so forth. For IT, a critical OpEx consideration involves IT management.

HPE architecture innovations are designed to help conserve OpEx through technologies that simplify, streamline and automate IT management, so personnel spend less time performing routine updates and are free to focus on more high-level considerations. Those technologies include:

  • HPE Silicon Root of Trust — Certain nefarious malware attacks can burrow deep into a system, compromising its integrity as it reports back a “normal” state – all the while extracting data, performing corporate espionage, or even mounting an outright attack. HPE Silicon Root of Trust establishes a digital footprint in the silicon — a “root of trust” — so IT systems can automatically check firmware levels to confirm that the infrastructure is secure. If a security breach is detected, the system will instantly alert IT that it has mitigated the incident by rolling back to the last known safe state. In this way, IT staff can focus on optimizing security to foil further intrusions. HPE Silicon Root of Trust helps safeguard against firmware attacks, detects previously elusive compromised firmware or malware, and works to rapidly recover the server in case of an attack. Only trusted firmware can be loaded onto the server, rapidly frustrating firmware attacks.
  • HPE InfoSight — This predictive analytics platform for the data center uses software-defined intelligence to anticipate and prevent infrastructure issues before they occur while keeping the environment operational, fast and agile. Gathering information from all HPE platforms into one location, the high-visibility InfoSight platform easily predicts problems — whereas without it, customers would have to personally observe every server site to draw the conclusions that InfoSight makes in an instant. Predictive analytics frees IT to focus on business outcomes as it standardizes IT operations across servers, clusters and continents.
  • HPE OneView — This infrastructure management software is the platform that bridges the connection from core to cloud: OneView automates IT operations and simplifies infrastructure lifecycle management across compute, storage and networking. It can be integrated into the VMware vCenter instance, providing a single pane of glass for the infrastructure. As an open API, OneView can provide visibility into a range of factors as it allows you to deploy infrastructure, firmware and drivers.

Through automation and intelligence, all these integrated capabilities serve to advance the next-gen data center beyond the need for human involvement in monitoring, updating, reporting and other routine tasks — and doing so with greater reliability — conserving OpEx and CapEx.

It all comes together with WWT in the ATC

Building and deploying the right HPE infrastructure solution based on Intel technology for the next-gen data center — one that maximizes the benefits from both CapEx and OpEx to deliver optimum TCO and ROI — is where WWT’s expertise comes into play. WWT’s thought leadership and integration experience are on prominent display in its Advanced Technology Center. It is here, through rigorous testing, labs and validation, that you can appreciate the benefits of our longtime collaborative relationships.

WWT, HPE and Intel take data center technology beyond standard performance metrics with a holistic approach that optimizes all the elements of a healthy IT environment and the organization it serves — taking into account the best possible return on investment, cost of ownership, and the CapEx/OpEx decisions that impact them. With all these elements in place, businesses are free to refocus their energies on the next big opportunity provided by their jointly created data center solution.

Best Buy’s three-day Microsoft sale lets you save on laptops, tablets, and even has the Xbox Series S available!

Best Buy’s three-day Microsoft sale lets you save on laptops, tablets, and even has the Xbox Series S available!

Yes, that’s right–Best Buy has the Xbox Series S in stock, and they’ve been in stock long enough for me to write this article. All morning, in fact! As part of their Microsoft three-day sale, Best Buy has a slew of digital-only consoles in stock, and they’re pretty nice for those on a budget. Not to mention the discounts on items like the Surface Pro and the Surface Duo!

You may be wondering, though, how Best Buy has managed to hold onto stock this long. That’s because the Series S is only available via Xbox All-Access. All-Access is a special program where you get the console and Game Pass Ultimate for $25 a month for 24 months. While it’s 0% APR, it’s not exactly enticing for scalpers to pay for the console they want to flip for two years–and it’s not like you can snap up a bunch of them at once as it requires personal information. So If you want an Xbox Series S and don’t mind hopping onto a payment plan, you’ll be able to take advantage of this during the Microsoft three-day sale!

    Xbox Series S with Xbox All-Access
    Get the Xbox Series S console and 24 months of Xbox Game Pass for $25 a month, for $24 months! That'll add up to a total of $600.

If you pick up the console, you might want to pick up some gift cards so you can play some games! Xbox gift cards are currently 10% off, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (which comes with Xbox games, PC games, and Xbox Live Gold) is $9 off. The gift card deal is perfect, as gift cards don’t go on sale that often! If you grabbed a Series S from the sale, you probably wouldn’t need additional months of Game Pass Ultimate, but it’s cool that’s it’s on sale for PC gamers or those that already have the newest-gen console!

But this is the Microsoft three-day sale, not the “hurray the Xbox Series S stayed in stock for more than fifteen minutes” sale. There are plenty of other products to look at that you can save big on!

Take, for instance, up to $380 off the Surface Pro 7. The 4GB Intel Core i3 model of the popular tablet is down to just $579, which puts it into the same range as similar spec laptops with less functionality than the tablet. Meanwhile, the 8GB Intel Core i5 model is $200 off and down to $700, and it’s really powerful. You can basically do anything but game on it… and depending on the game, you can even do that. I mean, it wouldn’t be games that run on the Xbox Series S, but that’d be a hard task for most tablets. Best Buy didn’t forget about the accessories either, as you can save $40 total on select accessories.

So, did you pick up an Xbox Series S? Or are you planning on picking up something else? The Microsoft three-day sale only lasts until Sunday, so don’t delay!

Republicans Are Inconsistent with Obama, But Democrats Are Hypocritical

By Daniel Pipes

While it is certainly true that Democrats cut Obama slack on policies where they would slam Bush or McCain, as a fair-minded Republican I note that the reverse holds true as well: Republicans slam Obama and go easy on Bush. I will establish both points in my areas of expertise, the Middle East and Islam.

Obama & Bush – sometimes it matters less what the policy is than who implements it.
Start with Democratic inconsistency: Although Democrats raged against American forces fighting in Iraq and muttered about their role in Afghanistan, there were more American troops in the combined Iraq-Afghanistan theater under Obama in late 2009 than had ever been the case under Bush – and Democrats were silent about this. Democrats derided Bush for damaging America’s reputation among Muslims and Obama placed huge emphasis on establishing a new tone vis-à-vis Muslims. But his efforts had precious little impact, with polls showing Muslims seeing him about the same as Bush; and Democrats are silent. Finally, Democrats bemoaned the clandestine CIA drone program operating in countries where U.S. troops are not based, such as Pakistan. But the Obama administration authorized more targeted killings in its first year than did the Bush administration in its final year. Specifically, there were thirty-six operations in 2008 and fifty in 2009.

Republicans, however, also are inconsistent: they mock Obama’s insistence on trying diplomacy vis-à-vis Iran, but Bush did the same, authorizing 28 meetings with representatives of Tehran at the ambassadorial level or higher. Republicans excoriate Obama for setting a deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan but said not a peep when Bush did the same for the much larger undertaking in Iraq in the status of forces agreement to withdraw all U.S. troops by the last day of 2011. Conversely, Republicans give Obama little credit for keeping the Iraqi mission basically in place, only speeding up the timetable.

On a positive note, Republicans did stand with Obama on increasing troops to Afghanistan and they did applaud his taking out Osama bin Laden. In contrast, it is hard to imagine any comparable support by Democrats for a President McCain. Although Republicans have problems with consistency, Democrats are blatantly hypocritical.

How To Increase PHP Memory Limit

by on Feb.21, 2009, under linux/ubuntu

Ok, I’m sure that at one point or another we’ve all come across:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1966080 bytes)

Or some similar number of bytes, when trying to execute various web based php scripts or applications. The easiest way to change this is to drop in a .htaccess file with the following line (in your html directory)

php_value memory_limit 32M

If you have access to your php.ini file or wish to make the change that way, just change the following line to whatever Meg of ram you want. (Try 32M)

memory_limit 16M

127 Ladybug

SKU: ZP127101

  • Ladybug [Ladybug Amphipods-Cyproideidae]
    Yella Wal O Texas, Rinca, Horseshoe Bay, Komodo, Indonesia

    Ladybug, sea flea, amphipod, itty bitty critter. Whatever you call it, it is small. They jump about with abandon. Water does not seem to slow it down. Sometimes there were dozens in one spot, allowing me to quickly focus on another when the one I was going to shoot disappeared! This particular ladybug is only found at a few dive sites in Indonesia.

    Size: 3mm at their largest

    Print Sizes available from 4x6 up to 40x60. Included with sizes 12x18 and larger, you get a silver metal box-style frame.

    If you wish a black metal box-style frame, a float mount system or a print only, (12x18 and larger), please call.
  • This photo image is made by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. It has a glossy finish which produces colors that are very vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily with any commercial glass cleaner (avoid direct sunlight). It is then mounted on one inch thick aluminum frame. Comes with all the hardware to make it easy for you to put it right on your wall.

  • How archival are Metal Prints?

    Images printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Like any fine art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sunlight or high outdoor temperatures. MetalPrints have an additional benefit over giclee or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard scratch resistant coating. The archival value of a print should be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by U.V. light and ozone exposure, but also to moisture and surface damage. When these factors are brought into the equation, MetalPrints are an excellent way to preserve an image.

June 29 Cross Country Pick 5 Features Belmont and Woodbine

by New York Racing Association Press Release

June 28, 2019

ELMONT, N.Y. - The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will again host a Cross Country Pick 5 on Saturday June 29, featuring graded stakes from Belmont Park and Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke, Ontario.

Woodbine will host the first two legs of the multi-track wager, both of which are graded stakes events over the turf at the Toronto oval. Kicking off the Pick 5 is the Grade 2, $175,000 Dance Smartly for fillies and mares, carded as Race 8 with a post time of 4:18 p.m. Eastern. Holy Helena, the 2017 Queen's Plate winner, will return to Woodbine for the 1 ¼-mile event after finishing third last year for trainer Jimmy Jerkens.

The next leg is the Grade 1 Highlander for older horses going six furlongs on the grass. Scheduled as Race 9 with a 4:51 p.m. post time, the Highlander features Christophe Clement trainee White Flag shipping from Belmont as he returns to action following a five-month layoff. The son of War Front seeks his first graded stakes victory.

Action then shifts to Belmont for the middle leg, with the Grade 2, $250,000 Mother Goose. Peter Brant's Dunbar Road - a two-time winning daughter of Quality Road - is favored in the 1 1/8-mile event for 3-year-old fillies over the main track. Jeltrin, seeking a second graded stakes victory, will also compete after running third in the Grade 1 Acorn on June 8. Carded as Race 8, the Mother Goose has a 5:18 p.m. scheduled post time.

The Cross Country Pick 5's penultimate leg will showcase Canada's crown jewel - the $1 million Queen's Plate for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds over Woodbine's all-weather surface. Avie's Flatter, the Grade 3 Transylvania winner, is the 5-2 morning line favorite for the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. Post time for the Queen's Plate is 5:36 p.m. and will go off as Race 10.

A field of eight fillies and mares 3-years-old and up will conclude the wager at Belmont in Race 9 in a starter allowance race over the inner turf. Funny Money Honey, who was an impressive 6 ½ length winner two starts back over Belmont Park's inner turf, headlines the field for trainer Charlton Baker. Post time is 5:51 p.m.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on track, on ADW platforms, and at simulcast facilities across the country. There will be a mandatory payout of the entire pool.

Belmont Park - Woodbine Cross Country Pick 5

Leg A: Woodbine-Race 8 - Grade 2 Dance Smartly (4:18 pm)
Leg B: Woodbine-Race 9 - Grade 1 Highlander (4:51 pm)
Leg C: Belmont Park-Race 8 - Grade 2 Mother Goose (5:18 pm)
Leg D: Woodbine-Race 10 - Queen's Plate (5:36 pm)
Leg E: Belmont-Race 9 (5:51)

We've found 29 of the best pubs and venues showing the action - getty

The ninth Rugby World Cup, held in Japan, has reached the finals: and England will face South Africa after seeing off New Zealand on Saturday.

The hotly anticipated match will kick off at 9am GMT (or 6pm local JST) on Saturday, November 2.

You'll need a good place to watch the action, of course, but it won't necessarily be easy, given Japan is eight hours ahead.

Not classic pub time, then, but a host of venues across the country will be opening up their doors in time for the crowds; sports bar app MatchPint estimates some 5,000 establishments will open early.

Here are your best options, including venues in London, Manchester, Birmingham and further afield, for places to watch the 2019 Rugby World Cup Final.

Have brunch with your rugby at Ham Yard Hotel
Have brunch with your rugby at Ham Yard Hotel
London venues

QUEENS, Bayswater

London's all-year ice rink and bowling alley have partnered with Big Screen to host a giant, pop-up screening of the rugby final. The event runs from 8am until mid-afternoon and there'll be cocktails, a burger menu from MeatLiquor and complimentary beer for ticket holders.

17 Queensway, London, W2 4PQ; www.queens.london

The Famous Three Kings, Hammersmith

With some games kicking off early, you're not guaranteed to have a pub nearby showing every game. Those in southwest London, however, needn't worry, because the Famous Three Kings, a garlanded sports pub, has been showing them all since the first England All Blacks match.

171 North End Road, Hammersmith, London W14 9NL; craft-pubs.co.uk/f3k-london

The Gipsy Queen, Kentish Town

Not to be outdone, north London's The Gipsy Queen, a rare independently run pub in Kentish Town, is also showing every game. The charming local Victorian venue has a large projector for the matches, and an outdoor screen in their cosy beer garden.

With friendly owners (and their dogs), 18 taps with changing guest ales, and catering by the excellent Mexican food specialists Luardos, it's the ideal spot for some rugby.

Before camera was found in Caroline County judge’s cabin, parents of boy he took on trips had conversations about safety

·5 min read

Before their son went on his first hunting trip with Caroline County Judge Jonathan G. Newell, his parents sat him down and came up with a safe word.

“I said, ‘I know you like Judge Newell, and you think he’s a great guy, and we have no reason to think otherwise, but ... we want to make sure that you are aware of what to look for — what to know is acceptable versus unacceptable,’” the boy’s mother recalled.

He never reported any problems to his parents until July 23, when he discovered a hidden camera in the bathroom.

“Please tell me what this thing is,” the boy texted his mother that morning. “It has a camera in it and it’s plinking on and off pointed at the shower I was in.”

“I’m scared.”

Newell, a circuit court judge for five years and before that Caroline County’s top prosecutor for more than a decade, took his life Friday morning as the FBI moved in to arrest him on federal charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

After the discovery of the camera, authorities say Newell chewed up and swallowed a memory card for a camera, but investigators were able to recover a hard drive with videos Newell took of boys showering as well as him checking their bodies for ticks.

For the parents of the boy who found the camera, the past seven weeks have a brought a range of emotions, including betrayal over the broken trust and frustration at the length of time the investigation was taking to play out.

His mother felt sadness after learning of Newell’s death.

“I didn’t want him to do that. ... That’s a terrible thing for anyone to have to come into,” she said. “And now there’s no closure. I wish we had a chance to have that closure, that face-to-face, ‘what the hell were you thinking?’”

The Sun is not naming the parents or their child since he is the victim of a sexual crime.

His mother said she did not know Newell before he made a friend request to her two years ago, out of the blue, on Facebook. Newell already knew boys who her son was friends with, and saw him tagged on their posts.

She accepted the request, and Newell began liking and making light-hearted comments on pictures of her son. She exchanged messages with him — nothing too personal.

In hindsight, “he kind of groomed me to get to my son,” she said.

Then Newell asked if her son wanted to go on a hunting trip.

“I was like, ‘Well I don’t really know you, would your wife and kids like to come over for dinner first?’” she recalled.

That’s when he confided that he was going through a divorce, she said. Newell and his wife divorced last year, court records show. Instead, he came by the house and they talked in the driveway.

The woman’s husband, who also hunts, said the destination on Hoopers Island was a “phenomenal hunting property, the best of the best.”

“I’ve taken kids hunting before — it’s what you do,” he said. “I blame myself a little bit for letting him go, in hindsight, but if you can’t trust your kid with a judge, who can you trust?”

Why not take his own kids? Newell’s sons were either away or uninterested, he told them.

Newell took their son infrequently — one or two hunting trips per year, with a couple of fishing trips as well when Newell said he was going to cut the grass at the Hoopers Island property, the boy’s parents said. They’d grab something to eat at Old Salty’s, a restaurant on the narrow chain of islands in Dorchester County. Other pairs of kids would be taken on other weekends, the parents said.

Their son never went with Newell alone. He “loved going and hanging out with his buddies,” his mother said. Newell checked in regularly, sending pictures to the parents and posting on Facebook, where Newell often uploaded posts about mentoring boys from the community.

“Everything was fine, until it wasn’t fine,” the boy’s mother said.

When the text message came on the morning of July 23, the boy’s parents contacted the parents of the other boy who also was on the trip. That boy’s father has law enforcement experience, and he advised them not to head straight to the hunting lodge but to arrive with police. It’s all got to be done by the book, that father explained, and they went to a police station in Denton.

As the parents arrived at the hunting lodge, “the cops came right up behind us, seven cars all at once,” recalled the father of the boy who found the camera.

“You could tell from his [Newell’s] expressions and body language that someone took the wind out of his sails,” he said.

The father said he is relieved that his son had a cell phone, not only so he could notify them what was going on but take a picture of the camera where it was found, so it could be provided to the police.

“I was one of them parents who says, ‘why does a kid need a cell phone?’” he said. “This whole scenario right here, it’s worth every penny that we paid for.”

Their son is relieved that he won’t have to go to court, but his parents say the breach of trust will linger.

“My son looked up to Jonathan as a mentor — thought he was wonderful — and I’m pretty sure he’s not going to trust many people,” his father said. “It’s going to be hard.”

A leading social theorist analyzes how and why Niebuhr's revival has taken place, ultimately arguing for his political and moral relevance today

Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) was a Protestant preacher, an influential religious thinker, and an important moral guide in mid-twentieth-century America. But what does he have to say to us now? In what way does he inform the thinking of political leaders and commentators from Barack Obama and Madeleine Albright to David Brooks and Walter Russell Mead, all of whom acknowledge his influence? In this lively overview of Niebuhr's career, Charles Lemert analyzes why interest in Niebuhr is rising and how Niebuhr provides the answers we ache for in the face of seismic shifts in the global order.

In the middle of the twentieth century, having outgrown a theological liberalism, Niebuhr challenged and rethought the nonsocialist Left in American politics. He developed a political realism that refused to sacrifice ideals to mere pragmatism, or politics to bitterness and greed. He examined the problem of morality in an immoral society and reimagined the balance between rights and freedom for the individual and social justice for the many. With brevity and deep insight, Lemert shows how Niebuhr's ideas illuminate our most difficult questions today.

Charles Lemert is University Professor and Andrus Professor of Social Theory Emeritus at Wesleyan University and Senior Fellow of the Center for Comparative Research at Yale University.

"From beginning to end this book is a wonderful read—brisk, intelligent, and relevant, filled with delicious asides, personal reflections, and unexpected turns."—Alan Wolfe, Boston College

“Reinhold Niebuhr, as a theologian and political thinker, has never been more urgently relevant than he is today. Charles Lemert has eloquently located Niebuhr's work in its original setting while highlighting its critical importance to the international moral dilemmas we currently face. This well-crafted book is for anyone interested in the interaction of religion, politics and morality.”—Harvey Cox, Harvard University

"A gifted and creative expositor, Lemert provides careful analyses of Niebuhr's most important works, the develoment of his thinking in response to his own life history and concurrent world events, and his study of thinkers like Augustine and Max Weber. . . . Scholars and laypersons alike will find this volume valuable. Highly recommended."—Choice

Pacquiao vs. Mosley: Who Cares, Where’s Mayweather?

This weekend, Sunday May 7th, 2011, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBO Welterweight World Title against Shane Mosley. Pacquiao has taken time away from politics (he is now a congressman in his native land) to fight the American but many people (especially those outside the Philippines) are saying, “Who the fuck cares.”

Every fight fan in the world, if they have a brain in their head anyway, are thinking of this fight as a disappointment. No one in their right minds really cares much about Shane Mosley as an opponent for Pacquiao. On everyone’s minds is when Floyd Mayweather Jr. will step up and fight the best known man in the Philippines. Time is running out for this to occur and fans will be seriously disappointed in the two men if both become too fucking old to exchange blows in the ring.

There has been two negotiations between the Mayweather and Pacquiao camps and both fell through due to stupidities in many fan’s minds. Not to get into the details, suffice it to say that drug-testing was a major factor according to both camps. But that is solved easily by testing both fighters a few weeks before and directly after the match. The Pacquiao camp had difficulty with this in the first negotiations back in early 2010, but agreed to it in the second a few months later.

Although Mayweather stated at the time the reason for the fall out in the last negotiations was in part due to his fight 60 days earlier, many believe now that Mayweather is protecting his undefeated record by avoiding the Filipino. Whether this is correct or not, what is true is that true champions, if they want to be considered among the greats of all time, never avoid fighting anyone of merit.

Unfortunately for both fighters, if the match never transpires, they will both have a blemish on their records. Mayweather’s zero in the loss column is nothing spectacular if he finally retires without ever facing the greatest boxer the world has ever seen, and as for Pacquiao and his fans, they will always have this sliver of doubt whether the Filipino is actually the greatest fighter of all time without a win against the American. As for this fight against Mosley, Pacquiao should win fairly easily.

There are always arguments about the best way to buy a car, but here's something that few people realize. A car's depreciation is greatest in the first three years. That's why experts at websites such as The Simple Dollar suggest that buying used is a better deal than buying new or leasing new.
Leasing New
When you lease a new car, you have it for the first three years, pay a big down payment, and pay large monthly payments. You don't own the car, meaning that when your lease is up, the car belongs to the dealership. Buying used, on the other hand, means a smaller down payment. It generally means better monthly payments. All of the money you pay is going toward ownership. That's definitely a better deal than leasing, especially if you have bad credit Chico CA.
Buying New
When you buy a new car, you will also make a high down payment and high monthly payments. For the first three years, the return on your investment will plummet. The average car loses more than half its value in three years. If you buy a used car that's three years or older, depreciation has started to level off. This means that if you buy used, you will have a car that holds more of its value longer. Get a loan.
Financing Used Cars
Before you lease or buy a new car, talk to the financing experts at R&R Sales. We can show you how buying used can save you money at purchase and over the life of the car. Our team can also help you overcome bad credit Chico CA.Get pre-approved for financing.

We know that sitting for long periods of time — say, writing and editing a blog on the Internet — can lead to potential health problems as serious as cardiovascular disease. But findings from a new study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN) suggest that we can offset the negative health impact of sitting by walking around for just two minutes each hour. Yes, we give you permission to go for a stroll to the watercooler!

Scientists at the University of Utah School of Medicine sought to find an attainable lifestyle goal for Americans who realistically, spend a majority of their day seated at work. Unfortunately, that means the goal needed to be more simple than “get more exercise”. As ScienceDaily points out, 80% of Americans don’t get the recommended 2.5 hours of moderate exercise per week; the scientists instead set out to find an achievable goal for those with sedentary lifestyles.

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the scientists examined the possible benefits of activities of varying intensities, such as standing, walking, and cleaning. They found that there is “no benefit” to replacing two minutes of sitting each hour with a low intensity activity (i.e. standing). However, when those two minutes of sitting each hour were replaced with a light intensity activity like walking, the results showed a 33% lower risk of dying.

Lead author Srinivasan Beddhu, M.D., professor of internal medicine, commented ScienceDaily on how great it is that they’ve found this easy workaround:

“It was fascinating to see the results because the current national focus is on moderate or vigorous activity. To see that light activity had an association with lower mortality is intriguing.”

Beddhu recommends the two-minute walks in conjunction with your regular recommended 2.5 hours weekly of moderate exercise. (So, no, you’re not getting out of doing actual exercise here!)

Market’s overnight reaction to the stimulus deal was to pull back into the open. Of course that could all be recovered in the regular session, but right now it’s a “sell the news” event. This was the last ‘known news’ event of the year, but 2020 still has 2 more weeks to surprise us. With a couple of short weeks on tap, many retail swing traders will use this time to wind down their portfolios and go into the new year with as much buying power as possible.

This week is a great time to lay out your trading goals for 2021. New trader? Consider setting learning based goals instead of performance based. For example, a goal to read a certain number of book or learn a certain number of new strategies instead of trying to make a certain amount of money.

From the entire team here at YouCanTrade, we hope you and you family have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

Friday’s session rallied late, but still a decent sized red candle. Early Monday action indicates a lower open, with a test of 363 support.

Does Microsoft thinking copying the 2007 iPhone is a good idea?

We are hearing more details about Windows Phone 7 Series from the MIX10 event in Vegas, but some of what we are hearing leaves us wondering why Microsoft is taking smartphone back a couple of years this late in the game.

We were expecting to hear a lot about Windows Phone 7 Series at MIX10 in Vegas this week and while there has been some interesting news for developers, end users and enthusiasts are seeing their excitement for the late 2010 devices fad a bit as well. First, we heard that multitasking would not be supported at first and now we hear that copy and paste will also be missing. Did Microsoft lock their people in a room with an original 2007-era iPhone and tell them to copy it? Didn't they see that even Apple added copy and paste to the iPhone after ever other smartphone OS has had this capability? I have to admit there are some very cool aspects of WP7 and I will probably buy one later this year, but I am pretty blown away by how far away from their core existing functionality they seem to be getting. I guess they can't riff on Apple anymore as these things are harder than they thought huh? As my buddy Rene asked on Twitter, is a Windows Phone 7 Series device even a smartphone anymore?

Another item that Dieter picked up from sessions today was that Silverlight won't be in the web browser, Internet Explorer, so you won't be able to enjoy Silverlight content from within the web browser even though Silverlight is integrated all over this new operating system. I did like the demo of playing games on your Xbox 360, PC, and WP7 series device seamlessly, but it is going to take more than gaming to impress me. Microsoft also seems to be abandoning the enterprise market with these first WP7 devices and it will be interesting if there are enough consumers willing to leave the iPhone, Android, or webOS operating systems.

Atlassian, New Relic, OTRS, PagerDuty, Pivotal Labs, Service Now, SugarCRM, and Zendesk Team to Deliver an Open Standard for Better Customer Service

June 7, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – June 7, 2011 – Zendesk, the leading provider of proven, cloud-based help desk software, today joined industry partners to announce, an initiative to create seamless communication among multiple partners and suppliers to deliver an unprecedented customer experience. The announcement was made during the opening keynote of the Atlassian Summit in San Francisco.

Organizations with multiple partners, suppliers or departments typically use disparate systems to perform tasks such as project management, customer relationship management, or customer support. The initiative provides a uniform way to connect these disparate systems for seamless collaboration through an open API.

As an example of the vision at work, Atlassian and Zendesk today announced the beta version of a JIRA/Zendesk integration developed using the open API. This integration allows engineering and customer support organizations to seamlessly collaborate on resolving customer issues.

For example, when an issue comes into the customer support team via the Zendesk help desk, the support agent may recognize that the issue requires assistance from the engineering team. That support issue now can be sent seamlessly from Zendesk to the engineering teams JIRA issue tracking system through a single ticket.

This gives the engineering team complete visibility into the customer issue, and the engineer, in return, can send a resolution back to the customer support agent through the same ticket, said Adrian McDermott, Zendesks Vice President of Engineering. Nothing is lost across systems and the customer receives a complete and timely resolution to the problem.

 will provide a seamless experience between vendors, said Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian CEO and Co-founder. And the ultimate realization of the initiative will be faster and more accurate help desk resolutions for customers.

About is founded by Atlassian, New Relic, OTRS, Pivotal Tracker, Service Now, SugarCRM, and Zendesk.

The Friends cast reportedly recorded a Zoom reunion and we NEED to see it

Publish Date
Wednesday, 15 April 2020, 10:51AM

Because we've been binge watching FRIENDS all iso...

According to The Sun, Courteney Cox and director Ben Winston secretly filmed a “mock rehearsal” over live video app Zoom!

And they're reportedly planning to release it before the now postponed reunion airs!

An insider told The Sun“As soon as filming was cancelled, everyone started panicking as it took so long to get their schedules to align, there was a deep fear it may take a year or even longer to get them all back together again.

“Courtney immediately set up a Zoom meeting for them and they all logged on to discuss ideas - brain-storming and bringing in the producers for a session which they called a mock rehearsal and chatted for almost two hours.

The insider also explained that they have been having daily meeting, and Jennifer Aniston (the busiest of the cast) has assured everyone she will do her best to make sure it happens!

“Their Zoom sessions have been brilliant fun, and there’s some hilarious material on there which they hope can be aired as either a series of teasers, or even a stand-alone special.”

The reunion was supposed to hit HBO after 16 years of the first episode, but has now been postponed due to COVID 19.

Jene Highsten, Lines in Space

Jene Highstein Lines in Space
Björn Ressle Gallery
March 7 - April 11, 2009

Since I first saw them a few weeks ago at Björn Ressle Gallery, a series of unusual ink on photograph ‘drawings’ have lingered in my mind. Made in 1973, they are being shown now for the first time in conjunction with the publication of “Lines in Space”, a monograph by Laura Mattioli Rossi detailing the nature of the investigations surrounding a body of work that Jene Highstein made in the early 70s and calls the “pipe pieces.” In his 79th Street gallery, Ressle presents two sculptures from the time in the midst of these long-buried photo works and original drawings.

Three Verticles In The Landscape
Three Verticles In The Landscape

Rossi’s study makes the point that Highstein’s engagement with minimalism was never dogmatic but rather flourished in dialogue with the ongoing problems that captured his attention. Working within the context of collaborative projects in the early years of Soho, the form of his works echoes the terms of their engagement. Visible in the gallery as well as through documentation, Highstein’s sculptures are a testament to the experience of landscape in both forested and open areas and to the deep relationship that exists to multiple and singular vertical forms at varying distances in space. The physical one to one relationship between the standing form and the body is both primal and undeniable; the doubled pieces triangulate and create a perspectival unit that is inclusive. Whether looking at subtle or extreme differences, his interventions set up a network of relations generating a void that opens up and allows for a deciphering.

Two Verticles and One Incline
Two Verticles and One Incline

Fresh and immediate despite their sepia tone, the photographs that Highstein printed of prospective sites for his sculptures have a certain weight to their material presence. As images they depict raw industrial spaces that were in the process of being converted, landscapes filled with trees or sometimes an industrialized zone reminiscent of Smithson’s 1967 “Monuments of Passaic” project. Most of the photographs have one or two—though sometimes there are three—singular vertical lines painted with ink directly on the uneven surface of the photographic paper in what appears to be a single stroke. The brush width and nuance of the ink meeting the slick surface of the photograph is clearly visible, scaling it to the 8-by-10-inch photo paper until the images of the sites exert a force on the single stroke and cause it to be read at the scale of eight to ten feet like the pipe piece, ‘Stirrer”, which stands the end of the gallery. The resulting tension causes the photo collages to magnetize attention. In the midst of all the verticals there is a single horizontal intervention into a photograph of the forest that challenges the terms set by the other vertical pieces in the group.

The subtly inclined ‘Stirrer’ at 12 inches in diameter echoes the proportion and angles of the trees in the adjacent photographs and solidifies the reading of the gestural lines as sculptural works. The drawings on the opposite wall—simple sketches to document variations on a theme—have a similar directness and intensity, yet they remain sketches and are clearer in relation to each other than one could imagine them alone. Here an investigation of horizontal possibilities takes over from the vertical. A photo cut out suggests Gordon Matta-Clark who was also a founding member of the Anarchitecture collective founded in 1973 or 1974 at the legendary 112 Green street space.

At other end of the room “Magic Rope Trick” with its long vertical neon light reaching up the wall offers evidence of a direction Highstein didn’t pursue. This second sculpture hints at a position on technological inventions that seems to oppose the staid form of his pipe pieces, where the movement occurs through the viewer’s perception of the piece and not in the notion of the new.

The tendency to strip down to the essential makes Highstein’s exhibition poignant at this particular moment. What is striking about seeing this body of work in hindsight, with the benefit of the handsome accompanying publication, is the fluidity and openness that it has to what it has influenced and what has been influenced by it. At a time when the “hedge fund avant-garde” is in retreat, Highstein’s project offers a refreshing model for a fertile field of action.
