With the hope to retain its market presence in 2018, Qualcomm on Wednesday announced a list of innovations that are designed to enhance wireless connectivity as well as to bring new experiences to the world of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). The San Diego-based company has announced the first integrated 802.11ax-ready Wi-Fi chip solution called WCN3998, which includes 2x2 antennas and supports WPA3 encryption. The company has also unveiled a new VR Reference Design based on the Snapdragon 845 SoC and an updated TrueWireless Stereo technology. The new developments will reach customers later this year.
First things first, Qualcomm has introduced the WCN3998 as its very first solution to bring support for the upcoming 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard to future smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. The new Wi-Fi module not just enhances Wi-Fi speeds to new levels by doubling the network throughput but also reduces Wi-Fi power consumption, as per the company's claim. Further, it is designed to refine connectivity with the current Wi-Fi ac standard through 11ac Wave-2 support.
The new Qualcomm Wi-Fi module has 8x8 sounding, which reduces power consumption by up to 67 percent over the previous-generation 802.11ac Wave-2 solutions, is touted to provide up to two times increase in network capacity when compared to devices supporting 4x4 sounding. Additionally, there is downlink MU-MIMO to enable multiple simultaneous connections on a particular access point and optimisations such as the Target Wait Time (TWT) and other power saving features to maximise sleep cycles and minimise contention. The chipmaker has also provided support for pre-draft 11ax access points that are expected to be deployed in the market sometime later this year and in early 2019. Likewise, there is future-ready WPA3 encryption that protects data traffic with advanced security features. These advancements are vital as we are moving deeper into the emerging space of connected devices.
Alongside supporting advanced Wi-Fi networking, the WCN3998 has Bluetooth connectivity with support for the v5.1 standard that is yet to be announced. There are also features to enable seamless streaming of audio by supporting "truly wireless" Bluetooth headsets. "The WCN3998 solves immediate real-world challenges and supports new applications with the right mix of advanced capabilities while helping our customers to effectively navigate the turbulent industry transition to broadly interoperable 802.11ax networks over the next two years," said Dino Bekis, Vice President and General Manager, Mobile / Compute Connectivity Business, Qualcomm Atheros, in a press statement.
Qualcomm is set to sample the WCN3998 module to some customers in the second quarter of 2018.
In addition to the new Wi-Fi solution, Qualcomm has announced an update to its TrueWireless Stereo technology to deliver superior audio quality and extended battery life on "truly wireless" headsets. The next-generation TrueWireless technology, which is supported on the recently launched QCC5100 series Bluetooth audio SoC, is claimed to help reduce power consumption by up to 65 percent for voice call and music streaming compared to its predecessor. There are tweaks to improve user and listening experience with an easier pairing functionality that doesn't require pairing of individual earbuds. Plus, the technology includes the ability to autonomously role switch each earbud between primary and secondary roles. All this helps to balance power consumption between the buds for longer playback time.
Qualcomm has additionally developed a new TrueWireless Stereo Plus mode that enables smartphones to connect directly to both earbuds at a single time. This eliminates the need for cross-head Bluetooth transmission and helps balance audio playback by reducing latency between earbuds and the connected smartphone. Moreover, when paired with a QCC5100 series-based device and the Snapdragon 845 SoC-equipped smartphone, the new module is rated to reduced power consumption by up to an additional 10 percent - delivering nearly an additional hour of listening time over what you'd get when pairing with dated hardware.
Devices featuring the updated TrueWireless Stereo technology are likely to hit global markets in the second half of the year. However, the initial development will be limited to hardware using a QCC5100 series module.
Alongside the updated TrueWireless Stereo technology, Qualcomm has revealed the presence of a Broadcast Audio feature that will be a part of the Snapdragon 845 SoC and will support music streaming to multiple Bluetooth devices at once. This new development is mainly designed to offer a one-to-many audio experience through devices featuring the new Snapdragon chip. It is also touted to support automatic retransmission and packet-loss concealment to offer near-perfect audio synchronisation between multiple devices.
The real use cases for the Broadcast Audio feature of the Snapdragon 845 will vary from user to user. For instance, if you are planning a party, you can leverage the new feature and boost the sound at your place just by using multiple speakers. The feature is also useful if you'd like to stream the audio you're listening to through your earphones to your nearby headphone-wearing friend or colleague. Notably, smart speakers, such as Apple HomePods or Amazon Echo, are already offering a similar experience and boosting the audio by pairing their multiple units, as do dumb speakers like the UE Boom.
If next-generation Wi-Fi or wireless audio is not of your interest, Qualcomm unveiled a new Snapdragon 845-based VR Reference Design that is a VR headset with the ability to display content on 1024x1152 pixels displays at 120fps frame rate. It uses Adreno 630 GPU, which is claimed to deliver 30 percent faster graphics performance than its previous version, and Adreno Foveation that combines graphics rendering with eye tracking to display VR content right in front of users' view. The headset also supports 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) and SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) for a roomscale experience. Qualcomm has used its dedicated Hexagon DSP and the newest Adreno GPU to enable the development. Further, the reference design supports standalone VR devices from Google Daydream, Oculus, and Vive. There is also support for Xtended Reality (XR) and 3D audio.
For the growing AI market, Qualcomm has launched its native AI Engine that is built to accelerate on-device AI-enabled user experiences. The new software-made AI Engine is supporting Snapdragon 845, Snapdragon 835, Snapdragon 820, and Snapdragon 660 mobile platforms and is based on developments such as TensorFlow, Caffe, Caffe2, Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX), Android Neural Networks API, and Hexagon Neural Network library.
Qualcomm mentions in a press release that many of the smartphone vendors are planning to optimise their existing AI applications using its AI Engine on future flagship smartphones that would include the Snapdragon 845 SoC. Demonstration of the features through the new software will be held at MWC 2018.
Uplifting the range of Windows 10-based Always Connected PCs, Qualcomm has announced its partnership with Asus, HP, and Lenovo. The company also touted relevant connectivity plans from various telecom operators in many regions, including Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe. Microsoft and Qualcomm announced their partnership to bring Windows 10 to Snapdragon laptops in May last year and AMD and Qualcomm separately tied up in last December to expand the Always Connected PC line.
Lastly, Qualcomm has announced the C-V2X platform that it has been designed to offer high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between vehicles. The new solution is expected to be commercially deployed in 2020 to enhance self-driving and automated car offerings.

The U.S. economic recovery is displaying signs of weakness after a jobs report on Friday showed employers pulled back on hiring and more workers dropped out of the labour force.
Employers added 115,000 workers to their payrolls last month, the Labour Department said on Friday. That was well below economists' expectations.
The unemployment rate ticked down by a tenth of a point to a three-year low of 8.1 percent, but only because a drop in the number of people hunting for jobs shrank the labour force.
It was the third straight month in which hiring slowed, intensifying fears that the U.S. recovery is losing momentum and opening the door wider for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy.
"There are some good reasons to be concerned," Evariste Lefeuvre, chief economist at Natixis North America, tells BNN. But Lefeuvre attributes much of the current weakness in the labour market to higher oil prices, which he expects will tick lower.
Of more concern to Lefeuvre are the structural issues facing the U.S. economy, which he says will continue to weigh on the labour market.
"The major reasons why you have a huge level of unemployment is because you have a lack of demand -- aggregate demand is much lower than it was in the last decade," he says. "And the reason is simple, it's because in the last decade it was driven by leverage and now we are in a long phase of deleveraging."

The late Patrick Swayze was 'so supportive' pf Jake Gyllenhaal
- Bang Showbiz
- 7 April 2017
Jake Gyllenhaal felt the late Patrick Swayze was "so supportive" of him in 'Donnie Darko', and he has praised the late movie legend as a "wonderful mad man"
Jake Gyllenhaal felt the late Patrick Swayze was "so supportive" of him in 'Donnie Darko'.
The 36-year-old actor played the titular role in the 2001 fantasy drama alongside the movie legend - who tragically died in 2009 aged 57 - and the dark-haired hunk has gushed about the 'Dirty Dancing' star and has praised him for encouraging him during his early acting career.
Speaking to ET Online about Swayze - who portrayed Jim Cunningham in the movie - said: "And I remember being really young and he was so supportive and kind."
The 'Southpaw' hunk fondly reminisced about Swayze and likened him to a "wonderful mad man" because he would ride around the film set on an electric scooter.
Gyllenhaal said: "I remember Patrick Swayze having an electric scooter and driving back and forth and he was such a lovely man, he was just filled with so much love and kindness.
"And then I have this really crazy picture I took of him on his electric scooter, and he just looks like this wonderful mad man."
Meanwhile, the dark-haired hunk has credited the production, which was directed by Richard Kelly, as being a "rite of passage" for him and for the viewers because of its depiction of adolescence.
He said: "That was a movie that was more about the psychological journey of adolescence and the confusion of it all.
"I've seen it as a rite of passage. "At a certain point in different people's lives, [they] are like, 'I remember watching.'"
And the 42-year-old filmmaker has described the hit film as a "slow burner" rather than a "quick flame" because he felt it needed "time to marinate" with the viewers.
He said: "This movie just needed to take its time to marinate and it needed to be discovered, I guess. That's the path it was meant to take.
"I'll take the slow burn over the quick flame any day.
"People can revisit it and discover new things each time they watch it."

On average, nobody lives longer than Japanese women. Their life expectancy is 87 years (and Japanese men, who live about 80 years, aren’t far behind). This remarkable longevity is suspected to be partly because the Japanese diet—filled with plants, fish and vegetables—is so healthy.
To see what kind of an influence Japan’s diet has on the health of its citizens, a team of researchers followed 79,594 adults for about 15 years. According to the results of the study, published in The BMJ, people who better adhered to the official governmental dietary guidelines had a 15% lower mortality rate.
The people in the study, who were 40-75 years old and came from all across Japan, filled out a dietary questionnaire and did so again five years later. Here are some of the 147 food items researchers asked about:
Everyone was given a score for how well they adhered to the Japanese food guidelines, and researchers tracked them for 15 years to see how diet related to death from all causes—particularly cancer and cardiovascular diseases like stroke.
People with higher food scores had a 15% lower mortality rate, due largely to a reduction in death from heart disease. The authors attribute this to a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and fish. People with higher scores were more likely to be women, drink green tea and—somewhat surprisingly—eat more calories.
The link between diet and deaths from cancer was less clear; having a good diet seemed to benefit normal weight people, but that link wasn’t significant in overweight or obese people. More research is needed to figure out who benefits and why, the researchers note.
Researchers also want to figure out if certain foods (like fish) deserve more of the credit than others (like red meat). To do so, the researchers created a modified food score that differentiated between meat and fish, but doing so made little difference to mortality—possibly because Japanese people eat more fish and much less beef and pork than Westerners.
On the whole, Japanese people in the study adhered pretty well to their dietary guidelines; the average food score was 47 out of a possible perfect 70. Americans, on the other hand, have a long way toward meeting their own. Past research shows that 87% of Americans don’t eat the recommended amount of vegetables.
Emulating the eating habits of people in Japan will take far more than the occasional slice of sashimi. But by adding more vegetables (pickled and otherwise), people in other countries may also be able to make their lives healthier.

I have also tested a number of personal defense and service loads. A number of new loadings have proven their mettle in the Kimber. Winchester’s new 230-grain Bonded Core load was adopted for service by the FBI and naturally we were all greedily wanting to test this one. The load demonstrates excellent quality control and a good balance of expansion and penetration. Another load has given me pause and a bit of a surprise. Black Hills has introduced a 185-grain +P load using the Barnes all copper TAC bullet. This is a brilliantly accurate loading and one that has proven completely reliable in feeding. There is little excuse for not carrying first rate ammo in your .45 as there is much available.
There are few handguns as consistently accurate as the Kimber Gold Combat. Like all quality handguns, the Gold Combat prefers one load to the other but the results are often very consistent. The only handgun I own as consistently accurate is a target pistol with a stylized Gold Cup on the slide. Enough said on the subject of accuracy. If you would like to own a well made 1911 that will challenge any shooter to perform at his highest level this is the pistol.
Since I have tested this handgun during the winter months, I adopted a crossdraw holster for under the jacket carry; the Huntington Wedge from Haugen Handgun Leather. Maker, Jerry Evans, has given excellent service for several years. When seated or driving the crossdraw is more accessible than any other and a very versatile design. The Haugen holster is a quality type with much to recommend.
This is a great combination, worthy of protecting all that you hold dear. If you carry a gun for defense, many have said you should always carry the best gun you can afford. The Kimber Gold Combat falls into that category.

Opening batsman Evin Lewis played a lone hand with an unbeaten 55 as the tourists bundled the home side for 152 from 45.1 overs and struck first with Mitchell Starc leading the loss by numbers three for 43.
That effort brought his series wicket-haul to 11, confirming the left-arm pacer as “Man of the Series.”
“My role on the team is to consistently use the pace and swing I have throughout my bouts,” Starc said as he contextualized his performance in the match and the series. “It helps if I have Josh (Hazlewood) on the other side and the spin quality that we have to support as well.”
Fellow new ball bowler Hazlewood was at his stingiest in claiming two for 18, while the trio of spinners Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar and Ashton Turner combined for the other five wickets.
Matthew Wade’s unbeaten 51 (52 balls, two sixes, five fours) led Australia to the goal with nearly 20 overs left. He got good support from Alex Carey (35) and Mitchell Marsh (29) after the West Indies picked the openers early and the slow bowlers, led by Akeal Hosein, threatened to give their team a fighting chance to defend that humble target. .
Still, the “Man of the Match” award did not go to Starc or Wade, but to left-turning all-rounder Agar. After being selected to replace younger brother and pacer Wes in the last eleven on a surface expected to favor the slow bowlers, he replied with figures of two for 31 of his allotted ten overs and then contributed a major 19 that wasn’t out in an unbroken 54th-wicket partnership to side with what could have been a tricky chase.
Batting challenges were the defining features of the match, as illustrated by Lewis’ attempt at the top of the West Indies order when his captain, Kieron Pollard, chose to win the toss for the first time in the series.
Forced to stop hurt at the start of the innings when he threw a ball to his helmet, Lewis returned in the fall of the fifth to avoid an abject capitulation by finishing on 55, not 66 balls with three sixes and five fours.
However, he suffered from a lack of support, with only four others coming in in double digits and none going beyond 20.
It prompted his skipper to give a damning assessment of the field conditions not only for the decisive encounter, but also for the other two games in the series.
“I think it is unacceptable for international cricket,” Pollard said bluntly. “We are not here to make excuses. We know we hit badly, but I think if you look at the scores through the series with two top international teams, I think it was embarrassing. Coming from St. Lucia (where West Indies won the T20 International series 4-1) I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.

Clay minerals and Fe- and Al-oxyhydroxides are considered as the most important materials for the formation of microaggregate building units in soils. The mode of aggregation and the resulting structure and stability are largely determined by their size, aspect ratio (AR), differences in surface charge (SC), and mixing ratio. Here, the impact of these parameters on the formation of microaggregate building units (BUs) was elucidated with a mechanistic model, i.e. using a twophase cellular automaton method, in which prototypes of illite and goethite were implemented. The simulations allowed assessing the formation of particle arrangements during aggregation, moreover building unit diameters, and the number of discrete particles. The contact area between particles was evaluated as a quantitative measure for stability. Homoaggregation of illite under the sole influence of attracting van der Waals forces enabling face-to-face as well as edge-to-face contacts, resulted in compact structures with a small mean diameter and specific surface area. In contrast, electrostatic attraction between negatively charged faces and positively charged edges favored formation of larger card-house structures, where low contact areas indicated the low stability of the resulting BUs. At constant AR, homoaggregation of illite of different particle size led to BUs of different stability, more precisely smaller particle sizes led to more stable BUs. Variation of the AR of illite, while keeping the particle size constant, revealed that most stable BUs arose from illite with smallest AR. Shielding of coarse goethite particles due to attachment of fine illite with negatively charged edges increased the number of discrete fine illite particles not aggregated. Aggregation of illite with positively charged edges was in fundamental difference to results from simulations with negative edges because of electrostatic attraction between illite particles. The simulation setting, without using fitting parameters resulted in an appropriate approximation of laboratory findings. The simulation clearly facilitated the understanding of microaggregate building unit formation and stability by illuminating turnover dynamics and provision of quantitative data.

INTRODUCTION: Detection of novel sounds must be a basic function of the auditory system, but the underlying neuronal mechanisms are largely unknown. DEVELOPMENT: During repetitive stimulation or a monotonous auditory scene, many auditory neurons show a decrease in their response, presumably due to adaptation. However, these neurons are able to recover and respond again any time there is a change in the stimuli. This process is known as stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA), and could be the basis of the neuronal mechanism for change detection. Neurons showing SSA have been reported both in auditory cortex and subcortical regions, such as the inferior colliculus. Neurons that experience SSA at all levels could be involved in a change detection circuit, but the relationship between neurons in different areas is still unclear. SSA, as found in these neurons, shares a number of characteristics with mismatch negativity (MMN), a component of evoked potentials related to the detection of context novelty, and linked to some processes that involve memory and attention. CONCLUSIONS: The responses to changes in sounds can be observed in multiple ways, ranging from the activity of single neurons to evoked potential recordings. The phenomena observed using these different approaches appear to be manifestations of the same underlying sensory process, which would involve both cortical and subcortical auditory nuclei, and could have its basis in stimulus-specific neuronal adaptation.

This document uses the following terms:
Active Directory: The Windows implementation of a general-purpose directory service, which uses LDAP as its primary access protocol. Active Directory stores information about a variety of objects in the network such as user accounts, computer accounts, groups, and all related credential information used by Kerberos [MS-KILE]. Active Directory is either deployed as Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS), which are both described in [MS-ADOD]: Active Directory Protocols Overview.
Active Directory forest: See forest.
aging: A concept in which a DNS server keeps track of time stamps for the last update of individual resource records. Duration from last time stamp to current time is considered as the age of the resource-record and this value is used for scavenging, a process for cleaning out not-recently used records.
ASCII: The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an 8-bit character-encoding scheme based on the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that work with text. ASCII refers to a single 8-bit ASCII character or an array of 8-bit ASCII characters with the high bit of each character set to zero.
authentication level: A numeric value indicating the level of authentication or message protection that remote procedure call (RPC) will apply to a specific message exchange. For more information, see [C706] section 184.108.40.206 and [MS-RPCE].
autocreated zone: A zone that is created automatically by a DNS server, such as 0.in-addr.arpa, 127.in-addr.arpa or 255.in-addr.arpa.
cache: When a DNS server receives information from other servers, it stores the information for a certain amount of time in its own in-memory zones, also referred to as a DNS cache. This improves performance of domain name resolution and reduces DNS-related query traffic. The cache contains only nodes that have unexpired records and expired DNS records that are not-yet-freed.
cache scope: A unique version of a cache zone that can be created inside a DNS server cache. Resource records can then be added (and subsequently managed) in the cache scope. The cache scope behavior is the same as a DNS server cache.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC): A high-precision atomic time standard that approximately tracks Universal Time (UT). It is the basis for legal, civil time all over the Earth. Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UTC. In this role, it is also referred to as Zulu time (Z) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). In these specifications, all references to UTC refer to the time at UTC-0 (or GMT).
crossRef object: An object residing in the partitions container of the config NC that describes the properties of a naming context (NC), such as its domain naming service name, operational settings, and so on.
directory server security descriptors: The set of security descriptors read from the directory server, encompassing the DNS Server Configuration Access Control List, Zone Access Control List, and the Application Directory Partition Access Control List.
directory service (DS): A service that stores and organizes information about a computer network's users and network shares, and that allows network administrators to manage users' access to the shares. See also Active Directory.
distinguished name (DN): A name that uniquely identifies an object by using the relative distinguished name (RDN) for the object, and the names of container objects and domains that contain the object. The distinguished name (DN) identifies the object and its location in a tree.
DNS Operations: DNS Query Processing, DNS Zone Transfer, DNS Recursive Query, and DNS Update are collectively called DNS Operations.
DNS policy: A group of processing rules, based on which a DNS Operation is controlled and allowed or denied access. A DNS Policy can be at a server level or at a specific zone. A DNS Policy is specific to a DNS Operation.
Domain Name System (DNS): A hierarchical, distributed database that contains mappings of domain names to various types of data, such as IP addresses. DNS enables the location of computers and services by user-friendly names, and it also enables the discovery of other information stored in the database.
dynamic update: A mechanism by which updates for DNS records can be sent to the authoritative DNS server for a zone through the DNS protocol.
forest: In the Active Directory directory service, a forest is a set of naming contexts (NCs) consisting of one schema NC, one config NC, and one or more domain NCs. Because a set of NCs can be arranged into a tree structure, a forest is also a set of one or several trees of NCs.
forwarder: The forwarder is the kernel-mode component of the router that is responsible for forwarding data from one router interface to the others. The forwarder also decides whether a packet is destined for local delivery, whether it is destined to be forwarded out of another interface, or both. There are two kernel-mode forwarders: unicast and multicast.
FSMO role: A set of objects that can be updated in only one naming context (NC) replica (the FSMO role owner's replica) at any given time. For more information, see [MS-ADTS] section 220.127.116.11.11. See also FSMO role owner.
FSMO role owner: The domain controller (DC) holding the naming context (NC) replica in which the objects of a FSMO role can be updated.
fully qualified domain name (FQDN): An unambiguous domain name that gives an absolute location in the Domain Name System's (DNS) hierarchy tree, as defined in [RFC1035] section 3.1 and [RFC2181] section 11.
global name zone (GNZ): A zone that provides single-label name resolution for large enterprise networks that do not deploy WINS and where using domain name suffixes to provide single-label name resolution is not practical.
globally unique identifier (GUID): A term used interchangeably with universally unique identifier (UUID) in Microsoft protocol technical documents (TDs). Interchanging the usage of these terms does not imply or require a specific algorithm or mechanism to generate the value. Specifically, the use of this term does not imply or require that the algorithms described in [RFC4122] or [C706] must be used for generating the GUID. See also universally unique identifier (UUID).
glue record: A record of type A or AAAA included in a zone to specify the IP address of a DNS server used in a delegation. The fully qualified domain name of each glue record will match the fully qualified domain name of an authoritative DNS server found in one of the NS records in the delegation.
incremental zone transfer (IXFR): A DNS protocol mechanism [RFC1995] through which a partial copy of a DNS zone can be transmitted to a remote DNS server. An incremental zone transfer, or IXFR, is represented as a sequence of DNS record changes that can be applied to one image of a zone to synchronize it with another image of a zone.
Interface Definition Language (IDL): The International Standards Organization (ISO) standard language for specifying the interface for remote procedure calls. For more information, see [C706] section 4.
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6): A revised version of the Internet Protocol (IP) designed to address growth on the Internet. Improvements include a 128-bit IP address size, expanded routing capabilities, and support for authentication and privacy.
key master: A DNS server that is responsible for generating and maintaining DNSSEC signing keys for one particular zone.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): The primary access protocol for Active Directory. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an industry-standard protocol, established by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which allows users to query and update information in a directory service (DS), as described in [MS-ADTS]. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol can be either version 2 [RFC1777] or version 3 [RFC3377].
local directory server: A directory server instance on the same host as the DNS server.
multizone operation: An operation requested to be performed on a set of zones with one or more particular properties, rather than on a single zone.
multizone operation string: A string indicating a property defining a set of zones on which an operation is to be performed.
Network Data Representation (NDR): A specification that defines a mapping from Interface Definition Language (IDL) data types onto octet streams. NDR also refers to the runtime environment that implements the mapping facilities (for example, data provided to NDR). For more information, see [MS-RPCE] and [C706] section 14.
nonkey master primary server: In a file-backed signed zone, a nonkey master primary is a server that holds the primary copy of the signed zone. A nonkey master primary server can also do signature refreshes and Zone Signing using Zone Signing Keys but cannot generate or manage keys on its own.
NoRefresh interval: If an update which does not change the DNS data for a record set is received within the NoRefresh interval then the DNS server will not update the timestamp on the record. This allows the DNS server to avoid unnecessary updates to the data store.
opnum: An operation number or numeric identifier that is used to identify a specific remote procedure call (RPC) method or a method in an interface. For more information, see [C706] section 18.104.22.168 or [MS-RPCE].
primary server: In a DHCPv4 server failover configuration, the primary server in the failover relationship is the first server that is used when an attempt is made by a DHCP client to obtain an IP address and options. A server is primary in the context of a subnet. However, a primary server for a given subnet can also be a secondary server for another subnet.
primary zone: A zone for which a master authoritative copy of data is held in persistent local storage or in a locally accessible directory server. A zone stored in a directory server is a primary zone for any DNS server that can retrieve a copy of it from its local directory server.
read-only domain controller (RODC): A domain controller (DC) that does not accept originating updates. Additionally, an RODC does not perform outbound replication. An RODC cannot be the primary domain controller (PDC) for its domain.
refresh interval: If the NoRefresh interval for a record has expired and the DNS server receives a DNS update that does not change the record data then the DNS server will commit a new timestamp to the data store. The combination of NoRefresh and refresh intervals allows a DNS server to maintain a relatively accurate record timestamp without unnecessary updates to the data store.
relative distinguished name (RDN): The name of an object relative to its parent. This is the leftmost attribute-value pair in the distinguished name (DN) of an object. For example, in the DN "cn=Peter Houston, ou=NTDEV, dc=microsoft, dc=com", the RDN is "cn=Peter Houston". For more information, see [RFC2251].
remote procedure call (RPC): A communication protocol used primarily between client and server. The term has three definitions that are often used interchangeably: a runtime environment providing for communication facilities between computers (the RPC runtime); a set of request-and-response message exchanges between computers (the RPC exchange); and the single message from an RPC exchange (the RPC message). For more information, see [C706].
resource record (RR): A single piece of DNS data. Each resource record consists of a DNS type, a DNS class, a time to live (TTL), and record data (RDATA) appropriate for the resource record's DNS type.
root directory system agent-specific entry (rootDSE): The logical root of a directory server, whose distinguished name (DN) is the empty string. In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), the rootDSE is a nameless entry (a DN with an empty string) containing the configuration status of the server. Access to this entry is typically available to unauthenticated clients. The rootDSE contains attributes that represent the features, capabilities, and extensions provided by the particular server.
scavenging: A regularly scheduled process in which the state of database records are changed if they have not been updated within a certain time interval, measured by the process that checks whether current time exceeds the record's time stamp value.
secondary DNS server: A DNS server that holds an authoritative read-only copy of a particular zone's data. The copy is periodically copied from another authoritative DNS server. Each zone can have any number of secondary DNS servers.
secondary zone: A zone for which an authoritative read-only copy of data is hosted by a particular DNS server. The data for a secondary zone is periodically copied from another DNS server that is authoritative for the zone.
secret key transaction authentication (TSIG): An authentication mechanism specified in [RFC2845] for DNS dynamic updates that uses a one-way hashing function to provide a cryptographically secure means of identifying each endpoint.
security context: An abstract data structure that contains authorization information for a particular security principal in the form of a Token/Authorization Context (see [MS-DTYP] section 2.5.2). A server uses the authorization information in a security context to check access to requested resources. A security context also contains a key identifier that associates mutually established cryptographic keys, along with other information needed to perform secure communication with another security principal.
security descriptor: A data structure containing the security information associated with a securable object. A security descriptor identifies an object's owner by its security identifier (SID). If access control is configured for the object, its security descriptor contains a discretionary access control list (DACL) with SIDs for the security principals who are allowed or denied access. Applications use this structure to set and query an object's security status. The security descriptor is used to guard access to an object as well as to control which type of auditing takes place when the object is accessed. The security descriptor format is specified in [MS-DTYP] section 2.4.6; a string representation of security descriptors, called SDDL, is specified in [MS-DTYP] section 2.5.1.
security provider: A pluggable security module that is specified by the protocol layer above the remote procedure call (RPC) layer, and will cause the RPC layer to use this module to secure messages in a communication session with the server. The security provider is sometimes referred to as an authentication service. For more information, see [C706] and [MS-RPCE].
security support provider (SSP): A dynamic-link library (DLL) that implements the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) by making one or more security packages available to applications. Each security package provides mappings between an application's SSPI function calls and an actual security model's functions. Security packages support security protocols such as Kerberos authentication and NTLM.
Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI): An API that allows connected applications to call one of several security providers to establish authenticated connections and to exchange data securely over those connections. It is equivalent to Generic Security Services (GSS)-API, and the two are on-the-wire compatible.
server level policy: A policy can be specified at each scope (subnet) or it can be specified global to the DHCP server. A policy which is global to the DHCP server is referred as a server-level policy and applies to all the scopes configured on the DHCP server.
signing key descriptor (SKD): A collection of DNSSEC signing key characteristics such as algorithm, key length, and signature validity period that describe how DNSSEC signing keys and corresponding signatures should be generated and maintained by the DNS server.
single-label name: A domain name consisting of exactly one label [for example contoso. (an absolute name) or contoso (a relative name)]. When written in dotted-notation, a single-label name will contain at most one period (.).
start of authority (SOA): Every zone contains a SOA record as defined in [RFC1035] section 3.3.13 and clarified in [RFC2181] section 7 at the beginning of the zone that provides information relevant for a zone.
stub zone: A specialized version of a secondary zone. A stub zone contains only those resource records that are necessary to identify the authoritative DNS server for that zone. A stub zone consists of the zone root SOA resource record, zone root NS resource records, and glue resource records for the zone root SOA and NS records.
tombstone: An inactive DNS node which is not considered to be part of a DNS zone but has not yet been deleted from the zone database in the directory server. Tombstones may be permanently deleted from the zone once they reach a certain age. Tombstones are not used for DNS zones that are not stored in the directory server. A node is a tombstone if its dnsTombstoned attribute has been set to "TRUE".
trust anchor: A DNSKEY (public key) or DS (public key hash) record that is presumed to be authentic (that is trusted); a DNSKEY or DS record that is in the "TrustAnchors" zone. A DS trust anchor cannot be used in a DNSSEC proof, but it can serve as an authentication of a retrieved DNSKEY record, allowing it to become a DNSKEY trust anchor.
trust point: An FQDN that has one or more trust anchors; a point in the DNS namespace from which a DNSSEC proof can begin, via the presumption of trust anchor authenticity; a node in the "TrustAnchors" zone that contains a DS or DNSKEY record.
Unicode string: A Unicode 8-bit string is an ordered sequence of 8-bit units, a Unicode 16-bit string is an ordered sequence of 16-bit code units, and a Unicode 32-bit string is an ordered sequence of 32-bit code units. In some cases, it could be acceptable not to terminate with a terminating null character. Unless otherwise specified, all Unicode strings follow the UTF-16LE encoding scheme with no Byte Order Mark (BOM).
universally unique identifier (UUID): A 128-bit value. UUIDs can be used for multiple purposes, from tagging objects with an extremely short lifetime, to reliably identifying very persistent objects in cross-process communication such as client and server interfaces, manager entry-point vectors, and RPC objects. UUIDs are highly likely to be unique. UUIDs are also known as globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) and these terms are used interchangeably in the Microsoft protocol technical documents (TDs). Interchanging the usage of these terms does not imply or require a specific algorithm or mechanism to generate the UUID. Specifically, the use of this term does not imply or require that the algorithms described in [RFC4122] or [C706] must be used for generating the UUID.
UTF-16LE: The Unicode Transformation Format - 16-bit, Little Endian encoding scheme. It is used to encode Unicode characters as a sequence of 16-bit codes, each encoded as two 8-bit bytes with the least-significant byte first.
UTF-8: A byte-oriented standard for encoding Unicode characters, defined in the Unicode standard. Unless specified otherwise, this term refers to the UTF-8 encoding form specified in [UNICODE5.0.0/2007] section 3.9.
virtualization instance: A logical partition in a DNS server, which is capable of independently hosting zones and zone scopes. Same-name zones and zone scopes can be hosted in different virtualization instances.
zone: A domain namespace is divided up into several sections called zones [RFC1034] and [RFC2181]. A zone represents authority over a portion of the DNS namespace, excluding any subzones that are below delegations.
zone scope: A unique version of a zone that can be created inside an existing zone. Resource records can then be added (and subsequently managed) to the zone scope.
zone transfer: A DNS protocol mechanism by which a full or partial copy of a DNS zone can be transmitted from one DNS server to another.
MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.

The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will Host World of Outlaws
Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team were ready for Outlaw action after a long winter of preparation.
Jason Meyers posted two top-10 finishes in the World of Outlaws Attel Dirt Car Nationals Season Opener in Florida
The World of Outlaws Attel Dirt Car Nationals Season Opener took place in Barberville, Florida. On Friday night, Meyers opened the 2009 Outlaw season with a top ten finish at Volusia Speedway Park.
K&N products give Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team an edge on the track by keeping motors clean under very dirty conditions without giving up any horsepower
Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing Team will next race at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada
On Saturday night, the Clovis, California native qualified in 17th place, less than three-hundredths of a second off of the pace set by Sammy Swindell. Meyers finished sixth in his heat and started on the pole position in the B Main. He went on to the win.
Meyers uses K&N products. “K&N Filters are absolutely the best, and that is why you will find them in every application within our team,” he said. “We work very hard to make horsepower and our K&N filter allows us to protect or motors in the worst conditions.”
Meyers made a few changes to the car and returned to the track to start the A-Main in the eighteenth position. He raced to the tenth position. “It was a challenging night for us,” said Meyers. “But, that is why we are here. I am really proud of this Elite Racing team for keeping its head up and solving our handling issues. Sometimes it takes several nights to overcome these issues, but they made the right changes and got us going in the right direction.”
On the final night of the DIRTcar Nationals Meyers posted a top ten finish. His qualifying put him just outside the inversion. This placed him starting on the pole in heat four. Meyers crossed the line in fifth place and earned the final transfer spot into the A-Main. Once there, he quickly drove his way toward the front of the field. There was only one caution during the 30-lap event and Meyers passed nine cars to cross the line in eighth place. “Eighth place isn’t quite as good as we wanted to be,” he said. “We wanted to win, but to come from seventeenth to eighth at Volusia is a good night for us.”
The next race for Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing team will be at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada on February 26.

JINZHOU, China—Han Tianpei and his wife dozed in their truck one early morning, waiting for a denim factory to open to deliver 10 tons of industrial salt. They awoke with a tap at the window, surrounded by a dozen enforcers of China’s salt monopoly, men poised to defend their turf.
The 2013 standoff dragged on until police took the couple into custody, Mr. Han said, and the monopoly’s hired hands drove off with the loaded truck.

His live shows are high energy and though he is a solo performer his live looping and the rhythms and sounds created on his guitar provide a sound, power and energy most songwriters don't have.

Explore Labrador's Torngat Mountain National Park on these self-guided backpacking expeditions. Known as a remote and unexplored region, the Torngat Mountains are one of those rare places on earth where you can still see nature as it was a thousand years ago. The glaciers have hewn through the crest of the mountains to create gigantic oceanic fjords. The rivers erosive force has formed the extraordinary canyons and the continents collisions have heaved and folded the Labrador coast to expose the earth geology like an open notebook on the Quaternary Era.
These self-guided expeditions include your flight from Montreal to a modern lodge in Ungava Bay in northern Quebec. From here you will have the help and expertise of the staff at the lodge to carefully plan your adventure. You choose your own route and the lodge will arrange the logistics such as drop off and pick up locations and food drops.

The Land’s End expedition to the northeast extremity of North America offers you the opportunity to discover one of the least-known regions of continental Canada. In an unusual world where nature has protected all its wealth, you will explore magnificent landscapes and in turn discover the secrets behind the myths of this forgotten land.
For the history enthusiast explore Hebron’s mysterious ghost town. On this tour, you will discover the natural marvels of the region and the incredible history of the Moravian missionaries who established here at the beginning of the 19th century. Walk in the steps of these missionaries, who came from Germany to evangelize the Inuit. Discover sites such as a mysterious Gothic-style church, century-old houses and many open-air graves, while enjoying a fantastic view over the Labrador Sea.
In a magically preserved landscape and panorama of fjords plunging into an ocean of awe-inspiring natural beauty, take off to encounter the high cliffs of Saglek Fjord. Of all the fjords found in North America, the rock walls of Saglek are the most striking. This trek across Labrador’s Ugjuktok and Saglek Fjords Peninsula is a unique opportunity to strike off into one of the little known locales in the Torngat Mountains National Park.

'Jersey Shore' Season 6 Premiere Date Announced; 'Snooki & JWOWW' Renewed
Are you jonesing for some more "Jersey Shore?" You'd better hope so, because like it or not that's what MTV is going to give you.
MTV has renewed the spin-off "Snooki & JWOWW" for a second season, despite only moderate success for the show's current run. "Snooki & JWOWW," which of course follows the further misadventures of the two titular guidettes and their poor, unassuming boyfriends, premiered to 2.4 million viewers. That's not a bad number for a cable network, but as compared to the 7.6 million of the "Jersey Shore" season 5 premiere, it's a bit disappointing.
Speaking of the original "Jersey Shore," MTV also announced the premiere date for the show's sixth season today: October 4th. That means there are only two months left before fans can start fist pumping and haters can start pulling their hair out.
However, with cast members getting spinoffs, Snooki getting pregnant and married, everyone getting a little older and their antics getting a little more tired, it might be that "Jersey Shore" season 6 is the last one we see. Of course, we've been saying that since season 4, so it would appear that as long as the show is getting viewers, MTV will find a way to keep it on the air.


With 332 million, the United States of America presents an important market with many opportunities for the Slovenian economy and tourism. It can take several years for companies to successfully penetrate the US market, and Slovenia as a country can open doors through increased promotion.
This is why, for the second year in a row, Slovenia will hold the Business Investment Conference in Dallas and the Slovenian Tourism Workshop, where economy, tourism and investment opportunities on both sides will be presented in a comprehensive manner. Dallas can be an excellent springboard for Slovenian companies thanks to the visibility and popularity of basketball star Luka Doncic.
This year, in addition to the Ministry of the Economy, SPIRIT Slovenia and the Slovenian Tourist Board (STB), the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, the Government Communication Office (UKOM), the Municipality of Ljubljana and Ljubljana Tourism are also involved in the organization of the business and investment event. AmCham Slovenia is participating in the activities as a program partner.
A series of events, which will take place on 6 and 7 April in Dallas, will include several business and promotional activities linking business, science, tourism and sport. SPIRIT Slovenia will organize a business investment conference on 6 April. On the same day, the STB will hold the “Texas feels Slovenia” tourism workshop. On 7 April, the Slovenian delegation will visit several American companies and hold business talks with potential American business partners, consulting firms and other representatives of the American business community.
The event will culminate on the evening of 7 April with the I feel Slovenia Night – an NBA basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls at the American Airlines Center. The event, organized by the STB, together with the UKOM and Ljubljana Tourism, will promote Slovenia on and near the court, during halftime and in the promotional and exhibition area.
The Government Communications Office (UKOM) will support the Dallas event with a performance by Dunking Devils acrobatic group, green T-shirts and other promotional material for fans, and digital and printed information material about Slovenia for the press. During the event in Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks will also hold the ‘I Feel Slovenia night’ sporting events in Celje and Novo mesto on 6 April for local primary schools, which will also be featured on the Dallas Mavericks’ social media channels.
Petra Bezjak Cirman, Director of the Government Communications Office (UKOM) commented: “Through this partnership, the Government Communications Office aims to strengthen the visibility of Slovenia and the national ‘I feel Slovenia’ brand at the Dallas Mavericks games, the business conference and the Slovenian Tourism Workshop. This will be achieved through advertising the national brand at the ‘I feel Slovenia night’ and at two side events for primary schools in Celje and Novo Mesto on 6 April. The main objectives of the partnership and the presence in Dallas are therefore to strengthen and increase the visibility of Slovenia and the ‘I feel Slovenia’ national brand.”

Bengaluru: Gali Janardhan Reddy, the scam tainted politician who has spent three years in jail over corruption charges, will campaign for the BJP in the Karnataka assembly elections, the party's chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa has told NDTV.
- Scam-hit mining baron Janardhan Reddy campaigns for BJP in Karnataka
- BJP chief Amit Shah has denied he has anything to do with party
- But Yeddyurappa says his support will be "helpful"
This assertion comes days after BJP president Amit Shah's emphatic denial that the party had anything to do with the mining baron often called the 'King of Ballari'.
Janardhan Reddy will support the BJP in two-three districts, said Mr Yeddyurappa, adding that "it will be helpful for us".
Asked whether it would dent the anti-corruption plank of the BJP that is keen on wresting the only state it once ruled, the former chief minister seemed to cite political expediency. "Who all are going to support our candidates, we must take their help. This is such a crucial time."
The BJP has fielded two brothers of Janardhan Reddy in Ballari, the heart of the mining empire of the Reddy brothers. B Srimaulu, a key aide of Janardhan Reddy, is contesting against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Badami.
Janardhan Reddy did not ask for tickets, Mr Yeddyurappa told NDTV. When asked whether it was his decision or that of the BJP central leadership to give tickets to Reddy brothers, he said "unanimously we have taken this decision".
This has given fresh ammunition to the Congress that has launched an aggressive campaign to retain one of the few states it currently rules.
"The Reddy brothers have stolen Rs 35,000 crore from the people of Karnataka yet the BJP has given them tickets. And Narendra Modi talks about removing corruption, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi told an election rally in Karnataka's Bantwal on Friday.
Two days ago, NDTV reported that Janardhan Reddy, who is out on bail and has been barred from entering Ballari, campaigned just outside the district for Sriramulu.
"After nine years, there is no proof of illegality against me," he told NDTV.
Janardhan Reddy was made a minister in the Yeddyurappa government after the BJP won the assembly elections in 2008. Three years later, the CBI arrested Janardhan Reddy on charges of illegal mining. Mr Yeddyurappa too had to quit after a Lokayukta report on illegal mining indicted him and his family.
The former chief minister says he has learnt from experience. "I will be very careful (about the Reddy brothers) while forming the government," he told NDTV.

In an appearance on Sportsnet 650 (audio link), Canucks president Trevor Linden acknowledged that GM Jim Benning has already been in contact with the agents for all of their pending free agents although the discussions were more of the preliminary variety. The Sedin twins highlight the list of looming UFAs while the likes of winger Sven Baertschi and defenseman Troy Stecher are among those that will be eligible for restricted free agency. Linden added that center Brendan Gaunce is expected to be cleared for contact next week and the team is hopeful that he could be ready to rejoin the team by the beginning of November.
Other notes from around the league:
- Although they’re currently carrying eight defensemen, Flyers GM Ron Hextall told Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer that doing so is not their long-term plan. They’re still evaluating which of their young defensemen to keep up with the team (including Robert Hagg, Samuel Morin, and Travis Sanheim) but they also don’t want to keep whoever isn’t in the lineup sitting for very long as a healthy scratch, especially with all of them being waiver exempt. Accordingly, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone is sent down shortly after Philadelphia returns from their Western road trip to start the season.
- Jaromir Jagr’s debut in Calgary has still yet to be determined as the team announced via Twitter that he will not suit up against the Jets tonight. Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun adds that Jagr told head coach Glen Gulutzan that he needs a couple more skates with the team before he figures he’ll be ready to suit up.
- Penguins winger Patric Hornqvist returned to practice for the first time for the first time since participating in an informal skate a month ago, notes Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Hornqvist underwent hand surgery a little more than two weeks ago to remove some screws. He has yet to be cleared for contact and won’t play tonight but there’s a chance he could return for the following game on Wednesday versus the Capitals.

A Cuisine at Home recipe I ripped out of my Mom's magazine
- 2 strips thick-sliced bacon, chopped
- 1 cup diced onion (about 1 half of a medium onion)
- 1/2 cup diced carrot (about 1 medium)
- 1/2 cup diced celery (1 large stalk)
- 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup dried split peas, rinsed and picked through
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire or Pickapeppa Sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices rye bread, cubed
- 1 T unsalted butter
- 1 T minced fresh parsley
- Sauté bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once bacon is crisp, remove it to drain on paper-towel lined plate. Reserve 1 Tbsp drippings in pan.
- Add onion, carrot, celery, and caraway seeds; sauté until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in water, broth, and split peas. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until peas begin to soften and break down, about 40 minutes. Stir in frozen peas and Worcestershire or Pickapeppa sauce. Return soup to a boil. Season soup with salt and pepper.
- Toast bread cubes in a nonstick pan over medium-low head, tossing often. When cubes are crisp and slightly golden, add butter and cook until cubes are golden brown. Top each serving of soup with reserved bacon, parsley, and croutons.
Nutritional Information for one-half of the recipe:
687 calories; 21g total fat (7g saturated); 26mg cholesterol; 89g carbohydrates; 656mg sodium; 33g fiber; 41g protein
Split peas continue to absorb moisture after cooking. If this soup has to sit awhile or be reheated, stir in a bit more water or broth to thin it out again.
Very good-- possibly the best split pea soup I've had. I loved the addition of the caraway seeds, the frozen peas, and the rye croutons. I ate half of the recipe and saved the remaining bacon and croutons in an airtight container. When Tim reheats the soup, he can add the reserved toppings along with a little broth or water.
Vegetarian Option: Omit bacon. Sauté vegetables in olive oil instead of bacon drippings, and use vegetarian or vegan broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Tim's Rating: 8.5/10
Liz's Rating: 9/10
