Direct Vision Standard Star Rating

Direct Vision standard

What did Direct Vision Standard Star Rating?

Firstly lets start with what is Direct Vision? From October 2020, all vehicles more than 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight (GVW) will require an HGV safety permit to operate in Greater London

The DVS will objectively measures a driver’s direct view through the windows of an HGV cab. This is communicated as a star rating from zero (poor) to five (excellent), which indicates the level of risk to people walking and cycling near the vehicle.

Why Direct Vision Standard?

Direct Vision was launched by the mayor of London was created to improve the safety of all road users. Vision Zero means ensuring the street environment incorporates safe speeds, safe behaviours, safe street design and safe vehicles to target road danger at its source.

All HGV’s more than 12 tonnes entering or operating in Greater London from 26th October 2020 will need to hold a safety permit. will be issued from October 2019. The scheme will be enforced from 26th October across Greater London 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Direct Vision Standard

How do I make my vehicle compliant?

If your vehicle meets the minimum DVS star rating you will be granted a permit.

From 26 October 2020, the minimum DVS rating will be one star to enter or operate in Greater London and this will then increase to a minimum of three stars in 2024.

If your vehicle does not meet the DVS star rating or is not rated, you will need to meet the ‘Safe System’ requirements to be granted a permit

Under the scheme proposals, it would be unlawful to:

• Operate an HGV more than 12 tonnes GVW in Greater London
without a permit
• Breach Safe System permit conditions

    Lobster Diving in Florida: Tips to Become a Real Lobster Hunter

    By Terry Gibson

    On Sunday, about 25 feet below the surface, I swam alongside G. Buck Manning, the esteemed Stuart-based author of Pirates of the Whirling Dervish, who looked somehow even more dignified in his “underwater tuxedo,” a jet-black wetsuit, matching fins and black-rimmed mask.

    But the three-pound spiny lobster we spotted was about to make total fools out of us both. Good thing nobody else was diving near us, because they would have spit out their regulators laughing. We must have looked like a couple of apes jumping on the same football while we were lobster diving in Florida.

    The bug was ensconced in a hole about two tickle sticks deep, with openings on each end. After missing with a snare twice myself, I managed to nudge the delicacy over toward Mr. Manning’s side of the hole, and he managed to lose it twice from the clutches of his own snare. With a flick of its tail, it darted under another ledge, this one about the length of my snare.

    We both whiffed again, and it backed up as far as it could. I swept the snare in a fanning motion under the ledge, and the lobster bolted out between my legs, managing to scrape my calf with its spines as it swam to safety. And when I pulled my arm out from under the ledge, I realized that with all the commotion and excitement I hadn’t even felt the Diadema urchin spines penetrate my wetsuit and gloves. My right hand and arm looked like I’d been arm-wrestling a porcupine.

    What a day! Besides that misadventure, four good buddies with eight tanks of air managed to bring home lobster dinners for all our peeps, and had a great time going lobster fishing in Florida.

    The early months of regular lobster season in Florida have been spectacularly productive, from lobster fishing in Key West north through Sebastian. Here are some tips for lobster fishing in Florida, including gear and safety, and resource protection. Be safe and have fun.

    Gear for Lobster Diving in Florida

    Whether you’re free-diving or SCUBA diving, it helps to add a bit more weight to your belt than usual, especially if you’re diving shallow where the surge will want to lift you off the bottom. For example, I typically dive with eight pounds of weight if I’m spearfishing or taking photos or videos deeper than 30 feet. But the bugs are on the bottom, so that’s where you need to be. Especially in shallow water, I add four pounds to offset the surge and buoyancy of the tank as the gauge needles turns counter-clockwise.

    Wetsuits and gloves aren’t a lot of fun in the warm months, but you need to wear something to protect yourself from the sharp and/or stinging organisms on the reefs, and in the water column.

    If you’re lobstering on Florida reefs, bring a tickle stick and a snare. Over grass and sand, a landing net is most efficient. Keep a mesh bag or a “lobster inn” bags clipped to a D-ring.

    Divers with lobster fever often take dangerous risks to score a few tails. Don’t be that diver. Leave the bottom with plenty of air -- you shouldn’t be on the surface with less than 500 pounds left in your tank.

    If you’re diving on enriched air, or “Nitrox,” make sure you understand what the maximum depth for the mix is. Oxygen toxicity will kill you before you realize the symptoms.

    Buddy up. Lots of things can go wrong even on the best-planned and executed dive. And a wily bug may take two divers to coerce from its hole.

    Keep a skilled boat handler up top, watching your flag buoy closely, and warning off any oblivious boats.

    Make sure that you have appropriate dive flags.

    Proficiency in Lobster Fishing in Florida

    At some point, you have to be quick. But first, take your time to get in a good position to catch the bug. Try to get between an angle between dinner and dinner’s best escape route. Then place the snare behind the bug, and tickle it toward the loop. Usually, they’ll back up right into the snare.

    Resource Protection

    Most recreational spiny lobster catching in Florida takes place on reefs, which support delicate coral colonies. Touch the reef as little as possible and do not touch corals, which you can learn to ID from a great book by Floridians Ned DeLoach and Paul Humann called “Reef Coral.”  Watch your flippers, which can easily come into contact with the reef, and make sure that your hoses and gauges are clipped tight to your Buoyancy Control Device.

    Spiny lobsters are carefully regulated by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Top Bitcoin Developer Says Bitcoin Is Dead

And the price of the cryptocurrency dropped

Getty Images
Jan 15, 2016 at 4:47 PM ET

One of the Bitcoin’s most prominent developers has published a blog post explaining why he’s lost faith in the digital currency, and now investors are scrambling to make sense of the aftershock.

“From the start, I’ve always said the same thing: Bitcoin is an experiment and like all experiments, it can fail,” former Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn wrote in his post on Medium. “But despite knowing that Bitcoin could fail all along, the now inescapable conclusion that it has failed still saddens me greatly. The fundamentals are broken and whatever happens to the price in the short term, the long term trend should probably be downwards.”

Hearn largely blames conflict within the Bitcoin community. Nathaniel Popper, writing for the The New York Times, described this civil war as a rift between two groups who “have broadly painted each other as, on one side, populists who are focused on expanding Bitcoin’s commercial potential and, on the other side, elitists who are more concerned with protecting its status as a radical challenger to existing currencies.” The prominent developer also revealed that he has sold off his coins. As a result of this revelation and denouncement, the Bitcoin market plummeted 5 percent on Thursday

Some journalists and members of the Bitcoin community commented on the painful effects of the plunge.

But several investors were quick to express their lack of concern.

Of course, there’s no way to know the long-term effect Hearn’s censure will have on the six-year-old system, but this upheaval proves Bitcoin isn’t as free from human influence as many of its investors might have hoped.

Critics Pounce On Megyn Kelly After Trump’s “Bimbo” Tweet

Since Donald Trump's latest insulting tweet, harassment against the Fox News anchor has skyrocketed

Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly - — REUTERS
Aug 26, 2015 at 12:25 PM ET

The Internet is railing against Megyn Kelly after Donald Trump retweeted a comment on Monday that referred to the Fox News personality as a “bimbo.”

The retweet, which was posted at 10:02 pm ET, prompted a flood of vicious and insulting responses aimed at the news anchor. At the time of this article’s publication, over half of all the tweets mentioning her handle this week came from the last 24 hours. Vocativ analyzed around 21,926 tweets, of which an estimated 1,299 tweets and retweets referred to Kelly as a “bimbo,” and around 110 tweets called her a “bitch.” There were also dozens of graphic, sexually harassing tweets and hundreds more that implied that her only job at Fox News is be “eye candy.”

Kelly was chided most for her looks, with tweets that said she isn’t “serious” or “professional” because she is attractive. Many Twitter users posted her most flattering photos along with snide remarks about her appearance, implying that demeaning insults like “bimbo” were inevitable because, by taking such glamorous and provocative images, she was “asking for it.”

Kelly’s critics also called for her termination and to apologize to Trump for “starting it” and “fighting” with him. There was widespread agreement among the harassers that Kelly “proved Trump right”  by “running away” – a reference her 10-day vacation from The Kelly File – and “needing co-workers to cover for her.” Over 1,100 tweets, including retweets, mentioned her unscheduled vacation from the news show, which Kelly returned to on Monday.

Several dozen tweets used racial slurs and called for her deportation to Mexico. While Trump did not officially reply to or promote most of these tweets, harassers often directed their insult to Kelly by replying to one of Trump’s old tweets about her or cited any of Trump’s previously publicized comments about her. Trump’s feud with Kelly, which started when she posed a question about women’s issues at the August 6th GOP debate, has made her a target of his most controversial rants. This analysis did not reveal a statistically significant amount of personal threats, but since the spat with Trump began Kelly has reportedly received death threats from the billionaire’s supporters.

As the continentals do

Garlic, of course, has an important role in Continental but not in British cookery – it really isn’t worth growing unless you are a fan. Any well-drained spot will do. Buy a head of garlic from the greengrocer or supermarket and split it up into individual cloves. Plant them 2in (5cm) deep and 6in (15cm) apart in March. Apart from watering in dry weather there is nothing else to do until the foliage turns yellow in July or August. Lift the bulbs and allow to dry under cover, then store in a cool, frost-free place.

If you are a beginner with garlic, you must use it very sparingly or you will be put off forever. Rub a wooden salad bowl with a clove before adding the ingredients. Rub the skin of poultry before roasting and then you can try dropping a whole unskinned clove into a casserole or stew, removing it before serving. If by then you have lost a little of your garlic fear, you can try using crushed (not chopped) garlic in meat etc. as the Continentals do. (from here)

I must be a Continental then.

I thought this must from some archaic tome.

Extrajudicial assassination has become a weapon in the global war on terror and such a weapon is being increasingly used. The Australian government must condemn this tendency and ensure that none of the Australian infrastructures is used by our US ally to launch air strikes against territories of other sovereign states.
The air raid launched to assassinate the deputy of Bin Laden, which was presented as successful, mainly killed innocents, and the target was not hit. It seems that Pakistan was not aware of it and complained. The fact that the US disregards the sovereignty of its own allies is an indication that similar attacks would take place in Australia. The government must, therefore, demand assurances.
The Pakistani government could only come out of this attack weakened when it gets involved in the war on terror. Besides, such an attack undermines the principle of national sovereignty. If Howard’s government does not complain, it means that it accepts such a violation of international law, and that would only strengthen Al Qaeda’s recruitment.
Extrajudicial assassinations are always counterproductive.

In case you weren’t aware, a speed VPN is a virtual private network that allows you to safely and securely browse the Internet. What once was a tool generally used by high-security businesses and employees is now making its way into the mainstream world of everyday Internet users.

mainstreamThere are so many great benefits that can be gained from using VPN servers in your everyday Internet browsing aside from high security and privacy. Improved Internet connection speeds, and upload speeds and download speeds, obtain a secret IP address from a VPN provider or through a free VPN, and much more.

Read on to learn what a speed VPN is, the benefits of a VPN connection and why you should really be using a VPN provider to get the most out of your Internet speed.

What is a Speed VPN?

Speed VPNs are virtual private networks that are made up of a group of computers—or discrete networks—networked together over a more public network. Basically, what all this complicated jargon means is that a VPN is a network that can be used for ultimate privacy because often people have to have special access to get onto a private VPN either through a paid subscription or a password.

group of computersVPNs also allow businesses and employees to access the same network even when they’re not in the same physical location. This is helpful for remote employees located across the world to access sensitive business information and files without having to be on a company computer.

VPNs are much more secure than public networks that often can’t be trusted because of easy access to confidential information like passwords and credit card information that hackers can get on a public network.

Whether you’re a remote worker, student, or just love the Internet, VPNs are a great tool for everybody. Now that you understand what a speed VPN actually is and how it works, we’re going to talk about reasons why you should be using a VPN for your everyday Internet browsing.

Access to Resources

If you’re currently a student or an employee of a company, you can really benefit from a speed VPN’s access to valuable resources. For example, more universities have VPNs that allow students to access resource materials, online books, PDFs, and course work securely and quickly.

coffee shopThe same goes for businesses that need a way for employees to access sensitive files and private materials. VPNs allow you to access these valuable resources anywhere you need to, whether you’re in class, at the office, or even a coffee shop.

Most businesses and schools already have their own VPNs or subscriptions, so you generally don’t have to worry about looking for the best service out there for you.

Downloading Media

Another great benefit of using a speed VPN is having the ability to download media like music and movies online. While we would never encourage illegally downloading any kind of media, there are some people who just can’t help themselves.

Whether you’re downloading things legally or illegally, VPNs are a great way to keep your files secure and keep yourself off of anybody’s radar. If you’ve got a torrenting app installed on your computer, it’s best to play it safe and stick with using a VPN so you don’t wind up in court or paying hefty fines.

Keep Your Communication Private

Some people are just more paranoid (or careful as they would say) about Internet security. Whether it’s because you’ve had a bad experience in the past such as identity theft or fraud, or you just like taking extra precautions to help you avoid being the victim of online hackers, speed VPNs are the perfect solution for you.

anonymous-studio-figure-photography-facial-mask-38275VPNs allow you to work with sensitive information like handling your bank account, buying things online with a credit card, or inputting materials like your social security number or driver’s license onto digital forms in a safe and secure environment.

You could even do all of these things in a public space like a café or the airport without ever having to worry about hackers stealing your information or identity.

Traveling Abroad

If you’re a digital nomad, an avid traveler, or are just out of the country for vacation VPNs can be lifesavers when traveling abroad. Most people don’t know this, but when you’re in a different country, you don’t have access to the same online streaming services that you do in the US.

Netflix 1It’s complicated and varies by region, but we’re sorry to tell you that your dreams of binge watching Pretty Little Liars while laying on a beach in the Caribbean is probably not going to happen unless you have a VPN. VPNs allow you to securely connect to a network in the US that tricks your computer into thinking you’re actually in the US.

With the magic of a VPN, you can stream all of your favorite Netflix shows, listen to your Spotify account and even watch live TV on broadcasting websites. Your airport layovers just got a little bit better.

Some of the Best Speed VPNs on the Market

ExpressVPN is one of the fastest speed VPNs on the market and includes apps for popular platforms so you can use it on all of your devices.

Henry Cavill Is Either Very Okay or Very Not Okay About Maybe No Longer Playing Superman

Henry Cavill. Photo: zhangjingtao/VCG via Getty Images

Earlier today The Hollywood Reporter broke the story that British actor Henry Cavill would no longer portray Superman in the DC cinematic universe. The news came as reports swirled that the actor’s scheduling conflicts with his role in Netflix’s The Witcher made him unable to appear as Superman in next year’s DC film Shazam! Warner Bros. has since issued an official statement saying “no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films,” which kiiiind of clarifies things. But tonight, Cavill himself weighed in on the issue with an even more cryptic video on Instagram. Wearing a “Krypton Lifting Team” T-shirt and holding a Superman action figure, Cavill stares directly into the camera as dogs bark “The Blue Danube,” which could be comedy or tragedy depending on how much you like dogs and Strauss. The post was shared by the actor on Twitter with a monocle emoji (which could mean anything, I mean, he’s British) and the caption, “Today was exciting #Superman.” So, either Cavill is happy he’s still in the game, or blowing off steam that his role is in question. It all depends on what you see when his piercing gaze meets yours.

Cleanup not working

Feb 22, 2017
Reaction score
So just the cleanup works (altho it removes thumbnails but sometime later adds the same amount back idk what's up with that?)
But the clean up of system files isn't working. I try to remove windows updates and it actually added like 500MB onto my C drive instead of removing like 3gb of updates and some MBs of other stuff. I could really use that extra space I only have 744MB on C 7,28MB on D 1 gb on E. I disabled downloading of any further updates btw,

What can I do?

And an additional question: are there some other ways to cleanup at least a few bit of space without risks? some that aren't that known ofc

Pasta Salad with Walnut-Sage Pesto

Pasta Salad with Walnut-Sage PestoIngredients

  • 2 ½ cups. Butternut squash, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ tsp. salt, divided
  • ½ cup parsley leaves
  • 2 ½ tbs. walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tbs. sage leaves
  • 2 tbs. lemon juice
  • 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/3 cup fat free, reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 3 cups cooked pasta (about 6 ounces uncooked)
  • 4 cups arugula
  • ¼ cup shallots, thinly slice
  • ½ tsp. black pepper

  1. Arrange squash in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray.  Lightly coat squash with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt.  Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until squash is tender, stirring after 10 minutes.  Cool squash slightly.
  2. Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, parsley, walnuts, sage, lemon juice, oil and garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped, scraping sides.  With processor on, slowly pour broth through food chute, processing until well blended.
  3. Combine the squash, pasta and pesto in a large bowl, and toss well to coat. Add arugula, shallots and pepper; toss to combine.  Serve immediately.
  4. The flavorful pesto clings to a corkscrew-shaped pasta.  Any small pasta, such as farfalle, penne, seashell or cavatappi, would work well.  The Pesto sauce darkens upon standing, so try to serve the salad shortly after tossing the ingredients.
Our recipes can be part of a well-balanced food plan. Any alterations made during preparation are at the discretion of the chef and are not included in the nutritional analysis provided, nor supported by the BestHealth team.

Seeff: Local Businesses are Not Prepared for Brexit

Following a week of pantomime in Westeminster that no novellist could ever have imagined, Geoff, our parliamentary candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, issued the following statement to the local press on his understanding of the readiness, or otherwise, of local businesses to make themselves ready for a No Deal (or in fact any deal) Brexit.

Amid the political turmoil of last week in Parliament over the Prime Minister’s determination not to seek a delay to the UK’s departure from membership of the EU, pressure is building up on local businesses to prepare for a No-Deal scenario. The Government has now issued its advice on sources of information by industry sector and registrations that will be required with the essential message being “Do it now”. This coincides with a report from the British Chamber of Commerce (6th September) which has surveyed its members and found that 41% of business had not yet undertaken a basic Brexit risk assessment, a figure that includes 37% of businesses that trade internationally.Having made the assessment there is a mountain of work required for those businesses to be properly prepared but, according to London First, a lobbying group for major London companies, 21% of all firms lack the resources to devote to the tasks recommended and 32% admit not to knowing where to begin given the uncertainty as to whether or not there will be a deal. Not surprisingly, they don’t want to spend money on something that may prove to be unnecessary.

There are 13,000 businesses operating in Redbridge and 10,000 operating in Waltham Forest*  of which 98% have 50 or less employees and over 50% of those are in sectors, such as the construction and retail industries, most likely to be adversely affected by Brexit. LibDem parliamentary candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, Dr Geoff Seeff, a chartered accountant and urban regeneration specialist, is excoriating in his criticism of the cavalier approach taken by Prime Minister Johnson to business in his desperation to drag the country out of the EU. “I am too much of a gentleman to repeat the now well-known comment by him about legitimate business concerns. But what sort of fool ignores the potential chaos, damage and cost that a no deal (or any deal) Brexit is going to have! From the various surveys it is clear that the majority of businesses are not likely to be in a position to cope with the complexities of the paperwork and restrictions they will in future face importing from and exporting goods and services to continental Europe”.

Geoff continued “Even as the country braces itself for the impending Brexit crash, the financial and personal costs are mounting. Apart from diverting attention from domestic issues, the Government has wasted over £5 billion on consultants, additional civil servants, studies, re-organisations and propaganda; the loss to businesses over three years has been estimated at over £66 billion**  whilst the public is already finding difficulties in obtaining regular supplies of household goods and medicines as wholesalers start to stockpile. Only last week, my wife could not collect a prescription for a relatively common European manufactured medication from her local pharmacy and had to contact six others before it could be fulfilled. I am sure many others can tell similar stories but my real concern here is for those with life threatening conditions and those who are less able than my wife to locate a pharmacy with the medication in stock and be sufficiently mobile or have the help to pick up their prescriptions.”

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) today announced 2,352 new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Illinois, including 75 additional deaths.

- Cook County: 1 female 20s, 1 male 30s, 2 females 50s, 4 males 50s, 6 females 60s, 8 males 60s, 7 females 70s, 8 males 70s, 6 females 80s, 5 males 80s, 1 unknown 80s, 8 females 90s, 2 males 90s

- DuPage County: 1 female 90s, 1 female 100+

- Kane County: 1 male 30s, 1 male 70s

- Will County: 2 male 50s, 2 females 80s

- Winnebago County: 1 female 50s, 1 male 70s, 1 female 90s

Currently, IDPH is reporting a total of 107,796 cases, including 4,790 deaths, in 100 counties in Illinois. The age of cases ranges from younger than one to older than 100 years.  Within the past 24 hours, laboratories have reported 25,114 specimens for a total of 722,247.  The statewide 7-day rolling positivity rate, May14th – May 20th is 13%

Gov. Pritzker announced Friday all of the 5,500 childcare providers who are not currently operating are being asked to reopen when the state enters Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois Plan.

For the first four weeks that they are open, providers will be able to serve no more than ten children per classroom.

Once they have provided care safely for four weeks, they will be able to expand to larger group sizes, but not full capacity.

Licensed home daycares will be able to operate at their standard capacity.

Pritzker said children over the age of 2 should still wear face coverings while at day cares as long as they are medically able to. Children under 2 should not wear face masks.

On Thursday the state received $1.3 million more to help victims of domestic violence in the state. This is in addition to the more than $1 million had already been received.

Pritzker said Wednesday that he would withdraw his rule that made defying the stay at home order a misdemeanor for businesses that tried to open before his phased plan allows.

Prtizker said he is pursuing legislation instead of the emergency rule.

>>Pritzker withdraws rule imposing misdemeanor on businesses defying stay-at-home order

He also announced restaurants and bars can reopen for outdoor dining as long as tables are 6 feet apart from each other when regions in the state enter Phase 3 at the end of May.

All state parks will reopen on May 29.

Groups of up to ten will be able to go boating or camping together, and golf groups of up to four will be allowed. One person or one immediate household per car will be allowed.

Hair salons and nail salons will be allowed to reopen with safety precautions taken.

One on one personal training can be done indoors at fitness clubs and gyms. Outdoor classes of up to 10 people can be held.

All retail stores can choose to reopen for in-person shopping.

On Tuesday, Pritzker said Illinois has overtaken New York to be the number one state in the country for conducting COVID-19 testing per capita.

On Monday Pritzker announced the Illinois Contact Tracing Collaborative, a locally-driven approach to scale up contact tracing in Illinois.

Illinois will be implementing a project management and comprehension tool to collect and hold all raw information relating to contact tracing for COVID-19 and providing "forward-facing relationship management software for deployment throughout the state."

The software will let all local health departments to work on one platform and allow IDPH to operate with an aggregated, real-time sense of where COVID-19 is in Illinois.

There will also be an app associated with the disease reporting software that will be available to those who test positive for COVID-19.

Health officials said Friday it is important all pregnant women be tested for COVID-19 when they are admitted to the hospital for delivery. They said many of the symptoms of labor can mimic or cover up symptoms of COVID-19. Also, many people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic.

Hospitals in Illinois that have already implemented universal screening of woman admitted for labor show a positivity rate anywhere between 3 percent to 12 percent.

They said early data is showing woman who have COVID-19 may be at further risk after they deliver from complications.

Governor JB Pritzker stressed the importance of testing Friday. He said the state has tested about 4.7 percent of Illinois' population. "We won't stop growing our testing until this pandemic is over," he said.

Pritzker announced Thursday that every region in Illinois is currently on track to move into Phase 3 of the reopening plan on May 29. He said that could change.

He also announced a new drive-thru testing site will open in Champaign next week. It will be at Market Place Shopping Ctr, 2000 N. Neil St.

Officials said Tuesday they are working to evaluate all COVID-19 related deaths to ensure the cause of death was COVID-19 and not a different condition or injury. That will be considered when reporting the number of deaths.

>>Why and how COVID-19 deaths are tracked in Illinois

Governor JB Pritzker said Tuesday the legislature needs to meet to come up with a comprehensive plan to help businesses and individuals suffering from COVID-19 related financial losses.

>>Gov. Pritzker announces grants to help infrastructure projects

Regarding recovering rates:

  • Those less than 2 weeks out of testing positive: 49 percent report they no longer feel symptoms
  • Those between 2 and 4 weeks out of testing positive: 61 percent report feeling recovered
  • Those more than 4 weeks out of testing positive: 74 percent report being recovered

On Monday, Illinois health officials announced 140 cases of the medication Remdesivir were sent to 14 hospitals across the state. Each case contains enough to treat about five patients.

Remdesivir is an anti-viral drug that has shown promising results in treating COVID-19. Officials said those with the virus have exhibited quicker recovery times after receiving the medication in testing.

As of Friday there are 244 public testing sites. Governor JB Pritzker said they made it a priority to work with trusted health care providers in the community. The sites included seven statewide sites. Each site is taking over 3,000 tests a day on average. Three new sites will open next week.

Pritzker said the Friday before Mothers day is usually an important recognition of Child Care Provider Appreciation Day. The day is a nod to child care givers who are often under recognized. Pritzker said on this provider appreciation day, I want to sent my deepest thanks to those who are open to help those essential workers with child care.

Gov. Pritzker announced Thursday a new call center to process unemployment applications is up and running and 100 new agents will be working by Monday. The plan is to scale that up again with an additional 100 agents taking calls.

Pritzker said all of the agents who are being hired are from Illinois.

IDES computer systems have been improved to handle online unemployment filing. Load times for web pages now average less than one second, the governor said.

He said the majority of people filing receive their first payment within two weeks of being approved.

Under the new Pandemic Employment Assistance or PUA program, claimants can receive up to 39 weeks of benefits backdated to the first week of unemployment.

>>PUA claims top 50,000 in 3 days

Unemployed individuals who qualify can begin the filing process immediately. The federal government requires workers who believe they may be eligible for the PUA program to first apply for regular unemployment insurance, likely getting denied, before applying for benefits under PUA.

The denial for regular unemployment insurance is a mandatory first step in determining PUA eligibility.

Pritzker announced his "framework for moving forward" which he called Restore Illinois. He called it a public health plan to safely reintroduce "parts of our lives that have been put on hold with COVID-19."

"Science and data are our over-arching guard rails for how we move forward," he said.

"Many members of the General Assembly proposed a regional approach to reopening," Pritzker said.

The five-phase plan breaks Illinois into four regions. It is guided by public health metrics to provide  a framework for reopening businesses, education, and recreational activities in each phase.

Pritzker said we are currently in Phase 2. May 1 marked the start of Phase 2. May 29 is the earliest a region may move to Phase 3, because the Stay At Home order is in place through May 30.

To read all about these phases, click the link below.

>>Gov. Pritzker releases 5-phase plan to reopen Illinois

For regions to move into the different phases:

  • A region must be at or under a 20 percent positive testing rate
  • A regional must be increasing by no more than 10 percentage points over a 14 day period
  • A region must not have had an overall increase or must have maintained overall stability in hospital admissions
  • A region must maintain the accessibility of a surge threshold of 14 percent availability of ICU beds, of medical and surgery beds, and ventilators

Pritzker said large venue concerts and festivals will not be able to resume until regions meet Phase 5.

On Wednesday, Pritzker said employees can report employers that are not following CDC and state guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

For public employees like those working for state and local governments, public works departments, police and fire departments, complaings should be submitted to the Illinois OSHA through the Illinois Department of Labor.

For private sector employees, direct complaints should be made to federal OSHA.

Both of those reporting mechanisms can be found on the Illinois Department of Labor's website.

Gov. Pritzker said 20 million pieces of Personal Protection Equipment have been sent out throughout the state so far during the COVID-19 crisis.

Still, he said, more is still needed. A critical needs request has been sent to FEMA for 900,000 gowns.

Governor Pritzker pushed the importance of testing and announced Thursday that the White House has promised Illinois 605,000 individual swabs and 465,000 vials of ETM that will be delivered in the first week of May.

The number of public testing sites has been increased to 177, and two additional state-run drive-thru testing sites have been added.

Testing site locations include:

  • 19 in Rockford region
  • 9 in Peoria region
  • 8 in Springfield region
  • 5 in Edwardsville region
  • 33 in Marion region
  • 10 in Champaign region
  • 41 in Chicago
  • 22 in the southwest suburbs
  • 8 in the west suburbs
  • 11 in the northwest suburbs
  • 11 in the north suburbs

Pritzker announced IDPH deployed ten teams of 50 nurses to long-term care facilities across the state. Over the coming days, an additional team of 200 IDPH nurses will join the ranks to deploy to nursing homes throughout Illinois.

"They'll be focused on three tasks: conducting swab testing, training existing staff to take samples themselves, and reviewing and improving the facility's hygiene practices and PPE use," Pritzker said.

Pritzker said the state is ramping up testing of residents and staff at facilities with or without COVID-19 cases.

"We are working to test all residents and all staff for free at facilities without known COVID-19 outbreaks," Pritzker said. "And at facilities with known cases, we are ensuring that all employees can be tested for free."

Pritzker also announced the hiring process for long-term care facilities has been simplified to help them bring on additional part-time help as needed.

The CDC announced a new list of possible symptoms of COVID-19.

Previous symptoms included fever, cough and shortness of breath.

The CDC added these six additional symptoms:

  • Chills
  • Repeated shaking with chills
  • Muscle pain
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • New loss of taste or smell

Governor JB Pritzker also announced the Stay At Home Order that was initially set to expire April 30 will be extended through the end of May.

>>Pritzker extends stay-at-home order through May 30, with changes

"If we lifted the Stay At Home order tomorrow, we would see our deaths per day shoot into the thousands by the end of May," Pritzker said. "That would last well into the summer... the numbers present us with only one choice."

The executive order included some modifications to the previous order that went into effect on May 1.

These include mandating face coverings be worn in public when 6-ft social distancing is difficult (including children over the age of 2), allowing greeneries and nurseries to re-open, allowing for some elective surgeries to start again, and letting retail shops that were previously deemed non-essential to open back up for curb-side pickup orders.

Animal grooming will be allowed again.

State parks will begin a phased re-opening. Fishing and boating in groups of no more than two people will be allowed.

Golf will be permitted as long as social distancing is followed.

The governor said if officials see people violating these conditions and large crowds gathering, he will need to bring back the restrictions.

"I see your pain, and I am so, so very sorry for it," Pritzker said. "But for every person who wants to go to dinner or hang out with friends or swing open their salon doors, there is a family mourning the death of someone they love. There is a parent, a child, a friend who would give anything to have their greatest strain be the difficulties of staying home and not the unimaginable pain of a life lost too soon."

He added, "I will fight like hell for you. I am asking you to hold on for just a little while longer to make sure we all see through to the other side of this struggle."

Pritzker said Friday local mayors do have the ability to impose even more stringent restrictions if they feel that is necessary to protect their communities.

Pritzker also said the virus peak for Illinois that was initially thought to be in mid-April may actually not hit until late April to early May.

"The peak is still yet to come. We need to be careful," he said.

>>Pritzker: Illinois could see coronavirus peak in mid-May

Researchers said Thursday the warmer summer months could help the pandemic start to die out. However, they stressed much is still unknown about the virus, and these are just theories at this time.

The governor spoke Monday about the dangers of COVID-19 breakouts in nursing homes and long term care facilities. He said if one person tests positive in a facility, the entire staff must wear personal protective equipment. All residents should also wear masks. He said everyone is treated as if they were exposed at that point.

Pritzker said it is important facilities reach out to their local health departments to get PPE if they do not already have it.

Counties with positive COVID-19 cases include Alexander, Boone, Bureau, Calhoun, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Coles, Cook, Crawford, Cumberland, DeKalb, DeWitt, Douglas, DuPage, Effingham, Fayette, Ford, Franklin, Fulton, Gallatin, Greene, Grundy, Hamilton, Hancock, Henderson, Henry, Iroquois, Jackson, Jasper, Jersey, Johnson, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, Lawrence, Lee, Logan, Macon, Macoupin, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Mason, Massac, McHenry, McLean, Mercer, Monroe, Moultrie, Morgan, Ogle, Peoria, Piatt, Pike, Pope, Pulaski, Randolph, Richland, Saline, Sangamon, Schuyler, Shelby, Stark, St. Clair, Tazwell, Union, Vermilion, Washington, Wayne, White, Whiteside, Will, Williamson, Winnebago, and Woodford.

>>Central Illinois counties reporting cases of COVID-19

Governor Pritzker spoke about the financial impact of COVID-19 on the state of Illinois. "The virus is going to hit our budget hard... The bottom line is this. Experts predict that Illinois will have a $2.7 billion shortfall for this fiscal year and a $4.6 billion shortfall for next fiscal year."

"This is a public health crisis, but it is accompanied by massive economic disruption that is unprecedented in modern history," the governor continued.

Goveror Pritzker presented a 2021 fiscal year budget proposal last February. He said the proposal was for a balanced budget.

He said his goal was to put Illinois on a path to financial stability. "That path has fundamentally diminished to the narrowest of paths," he said.

There is a 7 percent drop in state source revenue. $1 billion of the decline is due to the 3 month extension for filing income taxes.

The governor said he is working to leverage over $700 million in other state funds to support the operations of state government and issue up to $1.2 billion in short-term borrowing.

Pritzker said the total budgetary gap for Illinois for fiscal year 2021 is $6.2 billion.

He acknowledged that "extraordinarily difficult" decisions will have to be made when it comes to the budget.

Governor Pritkzer said, "There is no one who wants this state to open up more than I do. I want kids to go back to school, and I want parents to go back to work. I want families to enjoy our parks and lake fronts. I want small businesses thriving, restaurants flooded with reservations, job growth to return to their record highs. But no matter what the President may say, I will do what's best to guard the health and safety of Illinois' residents. That means test, trace, and treat."

About 20 to 21 percent of the people being tested in Illinois for COVID-19 test positive, the Governor said. 80 percent of people who test positive recover without further care. About 19 percent require hospitalization, and about 0.7 to 1 percent pass away from the virus.

Pritzker also addressed the upcoming November election, saying things may not be "back to normal by then," because there may not be a vaccine for COVID-19 available. He said he is pushing for more mail ballots to be used.

Also on Tuesday, Pritzker announced he is suspending laws that permit the service of a garnishment summons, wage deduction summons, or a citation to discover assets as part of consumer debt collection proceedings.

This protects the use of the stimulus money for food, shelter, and transportation as it was intended.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation also issued Best Practices to Illinois licensed lenders encouraging them to work with struggling borrowers during the pandemic to extend the time for payment, waive late charges, and defer collection measures.

>>Pritzker: Large summer events might have to be canceled

>>Public reminded to take social distancing seriously

The majority of people diagnosed with COVID-19 do recover. Officials report 50 percent of those diagnosed were recovered within seven days of testing positive in Illinois. Even more recover within two weeks, although officials did not release that percentage.

The number of COVID-19 cases by zip code will now be available by clicking HERE. Zip codes with five or less cases will not be shown to protect the privacy of patients.

>>Illinois unemployment rate increases 950% following closer of bars, restaurants

>>How to get unemployment benefits during COVID-19 outbreak

Officials said the economic impact of COVID-19 on hotels is already worse than the 2008 recession and 9/11 terrorist attacks combined.

Nearly 20,000 hotel rooms state-wide have been offered up as temporary housing for first responders, health care workers, and those in need of being isolated.

Pritzker said letters have been sent to the National Credit Bureaus asking them not to let consequences of the coronavirus outbreak negatively impact the credit rating of Illinoisans.

The closure of in-person learning at schools has been expanded through the rest of the school year.

Bars and restaurants are closed, but drive thru, delivery, and curb side pickup is allowed.

>>List of Businesses Open During the Coronavirus

Interstates, highways, roads, and tolls will remain open.

Pritzker said he made the decision after consulting with numerous medical and health experts to understand the progression of COVID-19, and determined that to avoid rapid spread of the virus in Illinois that has occurred in other countries, drastic action must be taken to contain it.

"I don't come to this decision easily," Pritzker said. "I fully recognize that in some cases, I am choosing between saving people's lives and saving people's livelihoods. But ultimately, you can't have a livelihood if you don't have your life."

Illinois health officials said they expect the number of confirmed cases to grow as more patients are able to be tested.

Governor JB Pritzker said he is working on having more protective masks manufactured in Illinois.

Pritzker said he asked the federal government for masks, surgical gowns, face shields, and supplies, but has only received a fraction of what was requested. The state was not sent any respirators.

Pritzker is asking the owners of businesses like nail salons, tattoo parlors, and others that are closed during the crisis to consider donating face masks.

For donations, email

There are cases in all 50 states.

"To maximize the state’s availability of PPE, IDPH released guidance to limit non-essential adult elective surgery and medical and surgical procedures, including all dental procedures, until further notice. IDPH is now encouraging surgery centers, veterinarians, and anyone with unused PPE that is not immediately needed to donate it to assist health care providers, health care facilities, and first responders who are on the front line actively responding to COVID-19," the governor said.

Most cases of COVID-19 have been mild, but people including the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are considered most at risk. However, cases reported in Illinois have included all age ranges.

People are being asked to follow social distancing measures, including working from home when possible, limiting the amount of time spent in the community and avoiding public transportation.

The number of cases with no clear connection to travel or a known positive COVID-19 case is rising, IDPH officials said.

Wärtsilä and Grupo Puntacana - Electrifying a Caribbean paradise

Wärtsilä and Grupo Puntacana: Electrifying a Caribbean paradise

A partnership built on shared values and communication has been key to a Dominican resort’s energy transformation.

Text: Lucia Burbano Photo: Grupo Puntacana

In 2004, Grupo Puntacana, a leading brand in the tourism industry in the Punta Cana region of the Dominican Republic, was generating its own energy with diesel engines dating from the 1950s. It quickly became clear that these were not enough to supply the energy needs of a fast-growing resort encompassing 42 square kilometres and an airport that receives 7.6 million passengers annually.

After developing a plan to expand its energy capabilities, Grupo Puntacana contacted Wärtsilä to make the plan a reality.

“We needed a trustworthy company who could secure our energy generation with a proven track record of quality equipment and services,” says Antonio Martorell, Director of Utilities, Water & Energy of Corporación Turística de Servicios Puntacana (CTSPC), the company that manages the energy and water contractors of Grupo Puntacana. “We also trusted them with the operation and maintenance of our power plant, as who could take better care of it than the supplier itself?”

Many of Grupo Puntacana’s clients are Americans and Europeans who own a second home in the resort, so the company was particularly concerned with providing services that met their clients’ high standards and expectations.

A laundrette, a snake, and a Mercedes Benz

Samuel Estévez, contract manager at Wärtsilä Dominicana, has led the power plant and its 21-member team since 2005. He says that 15 years ago, the energy demand in Punta Cana was only 4.5MW, but Wärtsilä foresaw that in the future, the fast-growing resort would require much more, so the company installed a 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 engine with a capacity to supply 7.2MW.

During the course of the first 10-year operation & maintenance agreement, Wärtsilä improved the reliability of the power plant to ensure that the resort meets the expectations of its customers in all circumstances. For example, the operational diversity of the power plant was enhanced by adding four circuits to the original one, allowing for extra coverage in case of failure. A SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to gather and analyse real-time data was installed for monitoring the levels of service in terms of frequency and voltage.

In 2007, Grupo Puntacana opened a laundrette, and Wärtsilä offered to take care of the value-adding operation and maintenance of the boiler room.

The partnership was not without its challenges, however. In 2005, when the new Wärtsilä engine was installed to replace the old diesel engines, a blackout occurred. The cause? A snake entered the transmission line and caused a short-circuit failure. Grupo Puntacana’s owner told Estévez that he was surprised by the failure because he thought he had bought the engine equivalent of a Mercedes Benz.

Estévez replied: “Aside from the Mercedes Benz, we also need to fix the road where the car will drive.”

Everyone in the control room laughed.

“I immediately explained to him what the problem was, and he ordered a study of the short-circuit system as I recommended, says Estévez.

The study helped isolate the problem and pursue investigation of the system only in the area where the failure occurred. This meant the whole system didn’t have to be shut down.

“Since then, we achieved stability,” Estévez adds.

Growing together

The contract between Wärtsilä and Grupo Puntacana was extended in 2015 and again in 2018. Wärtsilä added an additional 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 34 engine in 2014 and another in 2018 to reach a total energy capacity of 24MW. This has resulted in 99.6%-99.9% engine reliability.

Martorell is particularly proud that CTSPC has achieved the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications, which shows that the management of the energy services has been “extremely responsible.”

Martorell says that the success of the partnership is in part thanks to the personal relationship he has with the Wärtsilä team – and vice versa.

“I have been working with Wärtsilä for five years, and I consider Samuel (Estévez) as part of my team. We share a beer or dinner from time to time, as after all, we spend more time together than we do with our families. If the professional side works, it is easier to generate personal synergies,” says Martorell.

A greener future

In 2020, two of the three Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines are planned to be converted to natural gas, a more environmentally sound fuel that aligns with Grupo Puntacana’s vision to become an example of sustainability in the region.

This change will most likely involve an extension of the long-term agreement. The current agreement expires in 2023, and Martorell expects a new one to be signed, extending the partnership to 2026. If this happens, the partnership will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025.

“This successful partnership is the result of the efforts of a group of men and women loyal to a common cause. Punta Cana is a destination which in some places is even better known that the Dominican Republic itself, so we are proud to have a partner like Grupo Puntacana,” says Estévez.

Martorell believes there are two main reasons the relationship has worked so well for so long: shared values and open communication, which together have built the necessary trust required to achieve CTSPC’s objectives.

You, too, can compose like Bach. Or rather, artificial intelligence can compose like Bach. Or at least, that’s the premise of Thursday’s delightful Google Doodle, which promises to take any two-bar melody you type in and turn it into a Bach, or Bachlike, chorale in four parts, played by charming little music-box figures of bewigged 18th-century musicians.

It may only add to the doodle’s charm that what it actually proves is the opposite of what it sets out to do. Nobody can compose like Bach. Especially not a machine. You already knew that. But you can have a lot of fun along the way to finding it out.

Music and math, according to stereotype, tend to group together in people’s brains. This doodle is an example of the limitations of that premise. It was certainly a technological feat that required a whole team of engineers. Three hundred and six Bach chorales were fed into a machine-learning model, called Coconet, which used the data to inform the generation of its own harmonizations. (Coconet can even compose from scratch, as the team of developers explains in an impressive blog post, which includes sound samples that are considerably more convincing than the snippets generated by the Google Doodle.)

But what happens when you actually type a melody into the doodle is, well, akin to most of the random-generator programs online that allow us to create poems or stripper names or other diversions. If you’re not confident about writing yourself, the doodle offers two familiar tunes, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” on which it perpetrates a range of variations, each time different, and some of them downright horrible. As for Bach’s style, the harmonies may have specific evocations of specific Bach works, but they don’t sound very much like Bach at all — even when you type in one of Bach’s own melodies as a starting point.

Musicians and musicologists on Twitter had a lot of fun playing with the thing all day.

“Throw in a chromatic melody and pump up the tempo to 100 beats per minute and you get a reasonable facsimile of Hindemith,” wrote a user named ninedragonspot.

The question of how far music and musical style are quantifiable is an ongoing issue in artificial intelligence. Gerhard Widmer, a scientist in Austria, has been working for decades experimenting with teaching computers to isolate elements of style in performance, in projects with names such as “Computational music performance research.” As long ago as 2003, he and his team gave a computer 13 recordings of Mozart piano sonatas and had the computer generate a performance of a different sonata, played in the same style as the pianist. It won a prize at a contest for computer piano performance rendering. But that doesn’t answer the question of whether it was actually pleasing to the ear.

This is not to rag on the doodle, which admirably fulfilled its purpose of getting people to talk and think about composition in general, and Bach in particular, a few days before his 334th birthday. The goal, according to Leon Hong, a member of the Google Doodle team, in the accompanying video Google released about the project, is “combining art with technology and allowing people to create things they couldn’t create before.” Asking whether the thing thus created is worthwhile is perhaps beside the point.

Crossroads 45 Coordinator

Meet Neil

I was born in Kettering Ohio but grew up in the land of fried chicken (Kentucky). My dad and his dad… and his dad were pastors, so I spent a lot of time in church growing up. I gave my life to Christ at a young age and assumed walking with Jesus would be easy. When my dad suddenly passed away when I was 11 my easy, perfect life came crashing down. Through this and other difficult circumstances over the coming years, I felt that God was equipping me for the call to ministry at a young age.

During my time at the University of Kentucky, I stepped on a flyer for a summer camp called Pine Cove that would lead me to travel to the nation of Texas for the first time. While working at camp, God began to tug at my heart for kids ministry but I reassured him that high school age was more my “calling”. After college, I moved to Texas to participate in Watermark’s Residency program with the high school ministry. Here, God began to teach me what it looks like to be faithful and trust His timing, even when the end of the program found me selling stretchy pants at Lululemon for 5 months. Now, I have the honor of serving Watermark on the kids team where I get to proclaim the good news of Jesus to 4th and 5th graders every week! Life following Jesus is not easy, but we don’t have to do it alone.

House Passes $3 Trillion Stimulus With Drinking Water Access Earmarks

Peter Chawaga - editor

By Peter Chawaga

Access Earmarks

As the uncertainty and obstacles presented by the novel coronavirus continue to take a toll on the country, Congress has been injecting massive sums of capital into earmarked sectors of the economy. The latest such proposal for this stimulus, termed the “Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act,” or “HEROES Act,” includes dedicated funding for a critical service: continued access to drinking water.

“A new coronavirus relief package unveiled … by House Democrats aims to prevent the shutoffs of water and power in households that cannot afford to pay, a move some utilities have already voluntarily undertaken,” The Hill reported. “The legislation provides $1.5 billion for states and Native tribes to help low-income households pay for drinking water services… It also says that energy or water providers that receive federal aid should make sure that customers’ power or water is not shut off during the national emergency because they can’t pay.”

In total, the proposed legislature calls for $3 trillion in economic aid. It passed the Democrat-heavy House late last week, but is unlikely to sustain its march toward becoming law.

“Senate Republican representatives have dismissed the House’s new stimulus bill as a non-starter after its release, warning that any future aid package — if there is one at all — won’t come until after the May 25 Memorial Day recess,” according to Diario As. “‘After the recess,’ Sen. Roy Blount, a Republican from Missouri, told reporters earlier in the week when asked about when the Senate would begin serious talks about another stimulus bill.”

Still, the bill and its emphasis on drinking water assistance are important reminders of just how disruptive the coronavirus has been to even the most central of services and indicators of focus for the more liberal leaders of the country.

“If the bill passes, the drinking water assistance funding will be given to public water system owners and operators, who will then be expected to reduce rates for low-income households,” The Hill explained. “The legislation also includes $50 million in grants to investigate the disproportionate impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on communities facing environmental inequalities. It comes as data has shown disparate impacts on the virus on communities of color and low-income people.”

Without a clear end to the pandemic in sight, questions around additional stimulus and where it may be targeted remain open. But what is certain is that access to safe drinking water has become even more central to the daily life of Americans than ever before.

Maryland Lawmakers Question Response To Food Stamp Requests

May 15th, 2020 by WCBC Radio

A record number of Maryland residents are applying for food stamps, and state lawmakers want to know if enough is being done to meet the demand.  In April alone, nearly 70,000 Maryland residents applied for food stamps, well more than double the number of applications in a typical month, The Baltimore Sun reported Thursday.

The state Department of Human Services, which oversees the program, revamped its workflow and bought more than 2,700 laptops so employees can process applications at home. But nearly 300 state workers are at home with no computers and unable to process applications, according to the newspaper.

Department officials said the laptops would be issued by the end of the week. But state lawmakers are frustrated by what they say is a slow response to thousands of residents who are in desperate need of help to keep their families fed.

“This is a major, major problem,” said Del. Talmadge Branch, a Baltimore Democrat. “They are way behind.”

Branch is among House of Delegates leaders who have pressed the department on their response to the surge in applications. He’s particularly frustrated that several weeks into the pandemic, state employees are being paid but are still unable to review applications from home.

    The state should not be employing any office staff that are too lame to have a home computer in 2020. They should also reconsider the continued employment of the 2700 staff who have apparently failed to average 26 applications processed each in the considerable time since the 70,000 were filed. Drain the trough.

    Why apply, they reject you.

Artificial "Global" Test Agents?
04-09-2011, 03:38 PM
Post: #1
Question Artificial "Global" Test Agents?
This may seem like a silly question, but I'm still trying to ramp up on understanding how WPT works, let alone private instances of it Smile

Since my website is still under development, I need to host my own private instance of WPT. That said, I really like having the ability to test from different geographical locations through the public instance of WPT.

Now, it would be ideal if I could stand up test agents in different physical geographical locations but that's out of the question. The best I could do would be to have VMs in Seattle get behind proxies in Europe and Asia, but that would severely limit the effectiveness of my performance results.

Is there a means to simulate the performance characteristics of hitting a site from a different geographical location, similar to how traffic shaping is used to simulate different connection types?

Any help is much appreciated!

RE: Artificial "Global" Test Agents?
Don't use a proxy for performance testing (even if it is local). Browsers behave differently when going through a proxy. Trying to route a proxy remotely is even worse because you'll double the latency (and still have the full latency for resources served close to the real location).

If you can poke firewall holes or otherwise allow outside access to the web server where you run WPT your best option would be to use the EC2 AMI's I set up. You can spin testers up just for the time you want to do testing and then shut them down and the small spot instances are usually < $0.10 per hour. Here is the info on using the EC2 instances:

The EC2 AMIs are available in all of the regions they support (California, Virginia, Ireland, Singapore and Tokyo)

RE: Artificial "Global" Test Agents?
Hmm. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use Amazon's service in my company due to cost and other reasons.

I was hoping to simulate the conditions programmatically. Is there any possibility for that? What are the driving factors for performance characteristic impacts across continents? Just the latency of reaching the server? We're going to use a CDN for some content, but not all, so I expect minor impact to non-North American users when pulling the handful (~10) of site images we're hosting locally.

For example, if I test from Dulles, VA on IE7 and from Delhi, India on IE7, it's 2-3 times longer on most metrics.

RE: Artificial "Global" Test Agents?
Yes, latency is the driving factor for global performance. If ALL of your site was not using a CDN and was all served from the same server then it would be a trivial matter of increasing the latency in the connectivity configuration. When you start mixing in CDN-served content and 3rd-party content it gets exponentially more difficult.

I wouldn't say it would be impossible to model but the effort involved would be significantly more that what it would cost to just deploy VM's (even if it's not on EC2). You'd have to identify the servers that the page needs to talk to, ensure that they always resolve to the same IP's, determine the latency characteristics for each from various regions globally and then configure dummynet with different latency pipes for each of them. That's also assuming all of the services are trivial and don't have back-end connections of their own with varying latency by region.

I've looked at it several times and at the end of the day the results would not have been close enough to the real world performance to justify the effort and we were better off deploying testing agents where we needed them.
