That'll be one sweet 1GB (base2) HDD! How much are the DiskonModule units? I imagine you will see read speeds of ~8MB/s and write speeds of ~5MB/s in 4-way RAID 0 due to the relatively slow speed of FlashRAM.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.
I expect these to go for under 200 each, larger sizes available soon.
These are rated at 21mb per sec with very high random read/write. Im still waiting for my 4 channel raid controller. If you will notice in the pictures these plug directly into the mobo or controller. gotta love the <1ms access time.
I will post results.

jMeter works fine for this.
The bigger problem might be to deal with states-of-mind.
See, I am very sure every single one who put some code into the current system that slowed it down was aware of that.
We need to change the "well... 3% won't matter" attitude.
So you can jMeter all you want, as long as people will just keep adding new things, telling themselves "we make that faster later" but forget to do just this.
Any idea how to achieve this?

A new three-story bar is planned for South Broadway
An iconic 72-year-old space on South Broadway will be transformed into a new three-story restaurant and bar, Westword first reported Monday.
Red Sparks, a native of the Denver area who spent the last six years working in hospitality in Jackson, Wyoming, told the alt weekly his family has purchased the building at 476 South Broadway with plans to turn it into a restaurant and bar called Down South Broadway.
That building, which is located Broadway from the iconic Blue Bonnet Mexican restaurant, was the longtime home of LeGrue’s, a florist and year-around Christmas story that closed earlier this year after several decades of business.
According to Westword, Down South Broadway will feature a dining room, a bar, and a kitchen on its main floor. A coffee bar will take up about half of the second floor, while the third floor will contain a west facing deck and stairs leading to a rooftop bar.
Sparks said he does not expect the restaurant for over a year. However, a search is already on for an executive chef. [Westword]

The Netflix documentary “I Just Killed My Dad,” the story of a Baton Rouge teen who murdered his father in 2019, remains in the top 10 most watched shows. Brooke Thorington has more.
This morning state official broke ground on a monument to Louisiana African American Veterans. Marsanne Golsby has the story….
The Netflix documentary “I Just Killed My Dad,” the story of then 17-year-old Anthony Templet of Baton Rouge who murdered his father in 2019, remains in the top 10 most watched shows. East Baton Rouge Assistant District Attorney Dana Cummings prosecuted the case and appeared in the three-part series.
As investigators and defense attorneys uncovered years of abuse it changed the case considerably. Cummings says for Templet to be completely exonerated the law would argue that he should have called 9-1-1 or escaped out the window instead of shooting his father multiple times.
Cummings talked to filmmakers after the case was over even though it might appear she was interviewed while the case was ongoing, as for her opinion of the documentary…
Templet plead no contest to negligent homicide and was given five years probation and has four years left on his term.
State officials broke ground today on a monument to Louisiana African American Veterans in the Veterans Memorial Park at the State Capitol. The monument will be the first of its kind in the capitol complex. Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honore served for 33 years as a commanding general in the US Army. He is a descendent of a Revolutionary War soldier.
The monument will honor freed, formerly enslaved Louisiana soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War, and every war since then. Honore says African American soldiers took advantage of whatever opportunities they could find to serve their country.
Honore says although many generations of African American soldiers were not able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, their sacrifices helped paved the way for others.
The monument is expected to be completed in the summer of 2023. If you want to see it when it’s complete, It will be located in the park that contains the cannon and the old arsenal museum to the east of the capital.

Trump’s Bombshell Announcement on the Clinton Foundation: by ©Natalie Keshing
A bombshell analysis has been announced confirming the speculation in our minds. The ambiguity, questions, not trusting Hillary Clinton who continues to run for President of the United States as the evidence is mounting against her campaign.
The Clinton Foundation is at the top and root of all the deal making with donors in a pay for play criminal enterprise. This is a huge infiltration of deceit and dishonesty within our federal government and current administration.
In order to understand what is going on with Hillary and Bill Clinton’s Foundation you must first find the evidence, analyze it, digest it and then make your references and the charges the FBI will most likely address and bring to justice. It should be noted that the FBI is still involved in the ongoing investigation regarding the Clinton Foundation.
The Republican Nominee Donald Trump said, “Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into her private Hedge fund. The Russians, the Saudi’s, the Chinese all gave money to Bill and Hillary Clinton for favorable treatment in return. It’s a sad day in America when foreign governments with deep pockets have more influence in our own country than our great citizens.” A straight forward statement from Mr. Trump regarding the Clinton Foundation now involving more than a conflict of interest. This is a serious matter with serious charges.
On Fox Business News Judge Andrew Napolitano said the following:
“There are two criminal FBI investigations regarding Hillary Clinton. First, the secret servers in her house with the email scandal because it involves the alleged failure to protect national security secrets. Second, to what Donald Trump said, a team of FBI agents looking at allegations of public corruption. If I may amplify what Donald Trump said, I would refine it slightly, I wouldn’t call it a hedge fund, I would call it a slush fund, which obviously is worse (a slush fund is a sum of money used for illicit or corrupt political purposes; buying influence for money).”
“The allegations are that she exercised the sovereign power as Secretary of State given to her under the statutes, so as to benefit her and her husband’s pocket book, by doing favors for foreign governments and foreign countries and then receiving from those persons and countries a substantial amount of money. I’m talking about hundred’s of millions of dollars in contributions to the Clinton Foundation/Slush Fund. It is illegal if her decisions as Secretary of State were influenced by her knowledge or the high probability of her knowledge that the contribution would be coming. This is exactly what the FBI is looking at. The most extreme example involves her husband’s friend Frank Giustra, a Canadian who asked Mrs. Clinton as a foreigner for permission to own shares in a uranium mine in Utah. Secretary of State has the permission and she granted the permission to Frank Giustra, he sold his 80% shares to Vladimir Putin, a sovereign entity owned by the Russian government. The Russians now own this Uranium mine in Utah. Frank Giustra then gave 145 million dollars from the proceeds to the Clinton Foundation. Now you’re raising your eyebrows, anybody’s eye brows would be raised listening to this. This is one of the most extreme examples of this. (uranium is one of the elements used in nuclear bombs ©Natalie Keshing) There are many others. This is perhaps one of the most incendiary of them. How can she possibly explain that or justify that kind of judgement and behavior.”
Trump’s argument is “This is the kind of mentality that is putting herself in the White House.” Do we want this same corrupt mentality as President that we had as Secretary of State? The FBI has a different team of assistant US Attorneys; a different team of FBI agents. The FBI is divided by specialty, they have a team that investigates public corruption or corruption of public officials. A team that investigates breaches of national security. The FBI team would have access to these emails and other written records of the transactions involving Mr. Frank Giustra and the Clinton Foundation. I do not know if the FBI has subpoenaed it. In order to subpoenaed it a grand jury must be summoned. Now if a grand jury is sitting and issuing subpoenas they have kept if very quiet that we haven’t heard a peep about it. You are probably familiar with the incredible financial work of a brilliant Wall Street Financial Analyst Mr. Charles Ortel. Mr. Ortel has supplied the FBI with a lot of these kinds of materials which the FBI has accepted and is investigating. The Ortel report has a lot of other deficiencies in money raised in name of charities that weren’t legitimate, money missing, it’s a lot for the FBI to get around. It is the intersection of law enforcement, politics, money and the Presidency.”
As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was privy to all foreign humanitarian information. Privy to foreign legislation, foreign sovereigns, foreign governments and their dignitaries. Hillary Clinton used this information for her and Bill Clinton to strategically place themselves in the middle of lucrative deals between the Oligarchs from Africa like Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame who has been praised highly by the Bill Clinton Foundation. But President Paul Kagame has a terrible human rights record adding to this rich executives of large companies who wanted to take advantage of other people’s natural resources (as in Africa’s rich mineral deposits) or in the case of the large earthquake in Haiti. Bill and Hillary Clinton advertised and asked for donations to send to the Clinton Foundation for the people of Haiti who needed food, water, supplies, medical help, etc. Mark Halperin Co-Managing Editor of Bloomberg Politics said, “It’s extraordinarily serious. Imagine if an assistant Secretary of State had done what Hillary Clinton that we know that Hillary Clinton did, they would be out of the State Department. There were government actions taken and Hillary Clinton abused her power to continue to feed the Clinton Foundation machine.
A perfect example of this is Ambassador Joe Wilson who is a long time friend of the Clintons. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Presidential Election. And it was also thought he might become a senior official in Hillary Clinton State Department. But the fact of the matter is Wilson was up to something far more nefarious during Hillary Clintons tenure as Secretary of State. In 2009, shortly after Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State when Wilson was the Vice-Chairman of a company called Jarch Capital they took out a 50 year lease on four hundred thousand hectares (unit of land equal to 100 acres) in South Sudan. South Sudan was in the middle of a civil war and this lease was actually signed with warlords who were involved in the civil war. These individuals who were engaged in a massive human rights violations including the massacre of opponent tribes. Basically what Joe Wilson was engaged in, was something called investing in sovereignty changes. They were basically cutting deals, lucrative deals worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars with these warlords and the expectation was simple, these warlords would take power, then they would give them access to these lands, where they could make huge amounts of money exploring for natural gas, exploring for oil, and mineral rights. Ambassador Joe Wilson isn’t the only Clinton friend and foundation donor who was working in war torn countries.
Stay tune for an article that covers Wall Street’s Financial Analyst Mr. Charles Ortel’s findings regarding the financial discrepancies relating to the Clinton Foundation.

A 28-year-old woman and her one-year-old daughter landed in the hospital after the former was accidentally hit by an AUV (Asian utility vehicle) which was allegedly driven by a priest in Maribojoc town on Monday afternoon.
The victim, Janet Villanueva, 28, of Barangay San Vicente, Maribojoc had just alighted a habal-habal (motorcycle-for-hire) and was carrying her daughter when she was accidentally sideswiped by the vehicle, said PO3 Eugene Morgia.
Both Villanueva and the infant suffered minor injuries and remained in stable condition.
According to Morgia, Gee Christian Lagria, 37, a priest and a resident of Lila town, was driving his Isuzu Crosswind from Tubigon and was headed towards Tagbilaran City during the accident along a national highway in Barangay San Vicente.
Both Villanuenava and her daughter were rushed to a hospital in Maribojoc but were later transferred to a private hospital in Tagbilaran City.
Lagria and the victim’s family reached an agreement as the priest offered to pay for the hospitalization of Villanueva and her daughter.
However, Lagria’s vehicle remained under the custody of the Maribojoc Police Station. (AD)


San Benito appoints high school principal
Jan. 27—SAN BENITO — San Benito High School has a new principal following former Principal Gilbert Galvan's resignation weeks after his suspension.
Earlier this week, school board members unanimously appointed Marcus Ysasi, a former principal at Chapel Hill High School in Mount Pleasant who had also served as principal at Riverside Middle School.
On Thursday night, board members met in closed session before unanimously voting to take Superintendent Theresa Servellon's recommendation to appoint Ysasi to the principal's post.
Last year, Ysasi left his position as principal of Chapel Hill High School, with an enrollment of about 330 students, an employee there said.
In 2018, he served as Riverside Middle School's principal, San Benito school board member Rudy Corona said Friday.
Third principal in seven months
In San Benito, Ysasi becomes the high school's third principal in about seven months.
On Jan. 6, Galvan resigned after Servellon placed him on administrative leave Dec. 9 following a 45-year career as an educator.
Officials have declined to disclose details behind his suspension, adding they cannot comment on "personnel matters."
Across the community, Galvan's resignation has sparked widespread speculation while parents and students have posted a range of rumors on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Last June, Servellon assigned Galvan to the high school's principal post, replacing Rudy Ramirez, who had served in that position since 2020.
Before taking the job, Galvan had served as Veterans Memorial Academy's principal since 2013.
While working as a San Benito teacher, Galvan entered politics in 1986, when he won election to a city commission seat.
Two years later, he was elected the city's mayor, going on to win a second term.
On Friday, San Benito school district officials did not respond to a request for information regarding Ysasi's work experience and education.
Meanwhile, board President Ramiro Moreno did not respond to messages requesting comment on Ysasi's appointment.

The Vernon College board of trustees took the first step in seeking property tax support from Wichita County property owners. The trustees voted Monday to send an application to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for approval to pursue a branch campus designation and a branch campus maintenance tax in Wichita County.
College President, Dr. Dusty Johnston, told the board that there had been a lot of discussion over the previous 10 years on gaining tax support for the college from Wichita County since the majority of programs and students are now served from that location. Johnston said currently the Wichita campus is supported by tuition and state aid from contact hours. But he did not believe the college could raise tuition any more.
“I’ve been asked to do some additional programs. I’ve made it very plain we can’t do more without additional support,” Johnston said.
Johnston said the first step in the process is to submit an application and they have to approve it.
“In a public meeting they will either approve it or deny it. I can’t think of any reason for them not to approve it,” he said.
He said he anticipated a decision in October and if approved, that would give the college the opportunity to seek a branch tax in Wichita County.
“The we’ll go to the Wichita County Commissioners Court. They have authority to put it on the ballot,” he said, adding they didn’t have to support it, just approve putting it on the ballot.
He said if the commissioners approve the ballot placement, then it would probably be up for election next May and would need a simple majority to go into effect.
“Why now? They want additional programs,” he said.
“I think it’s a big step for Vernon College,” said trustee Irl Holt in making a motion to proceed. The motion was approved on a second from Bob Ferguson.
The Summer II enrollment for Vernon College was presented to the board, and the numbers were down from last year on the Vernon campus and up in Wichita Falls. There were just 14 students enrolled on the Vernon campus, with 332 enrolled at either Century City in Wichita Falls or online.
President Johnston said he was optimistic for the fall and enrollment was looking good so far.
“Our goal is to be stable (on enrollment),” he said.
Dr. Johnston presented a draft of the college budget for the next year. The budget was presented off of taking the effective tax rate. Johnston said the budget includes percentage raises for all employees and the addition of “a couple of positions.”
The total budget present in this draft was $21.3 million. Johnston said it was a million less than last year, due to turning the bookstore operations overs to a vendor. He said without that change it would be a couple hundred thousand dollar increase in expenditures due to raises, cybersecurity insurance and other factors.
Johnston said the wind farm construction going on this year won’t be on the current tax roll but “we will be anxiously watching it next year” to see how it affects tax revenue.
In the current budget report, vice president Garry David said the finances were right on target for the most part. He said they may finish the year a little under budget on revenue, but that expenditures were also going to be under budget “so we will be fine.”
Trustee Holt asked about the vendor, scheduled to take over book store operations later this month. He asked if they bought the inventory, David said yes, except for some new text books that were sent back to the publisher for a credit. He said the switch over is expected on July 22.
Trustee Norman Brints asked if the new vendors hired any of the college employees. David said 2 were hired, while the rest retired or quit to go back to school. The financial report was approved on a motion from Holt.
The board approved a number of contracts for classes with various school districts, which Johnston called routine.
The board held a retreat that board chairman, Dr. Todd Smith, called “very productive.”

Author and personal impact and communication preference training consultant
Adrian Kirk is a self awareness and personal impact training consultant and director of
More Than Words. Working at the highest level for large corporate organisations across Europe and the Middle East, he specialises in teaching people the impact of vocal and physical manner, and the influence mind and emotion have on these.
He is also the author of the self-help novel Pieces of the Possible.
His training courses and seminars are designed to release innate potential and instil a mindset of confidence and success. After years of working with people on the purely technical aspect of presence and impact, Adrian recognised the importance of another factor which influences people’s ability to become who and what they wanted to become – the mind. In response he developed the Mindset Principle to reinforce the idea that what we think leads to how we act, which in turn creates the outcomes we experience. From that the seeds of Pieces of the Possible were born, and the possibility of positive change for a wider audience.
The truth is that change doesn’t start with a change of actions, but with a change of thoughts. Adrian isn’t just teaching the principle; he’s teaching a lesson he learned himself. Lying in a hospital bed recovering from a lifestyle-induced operation in 1995, Adrian decided it was time to make some changes of his own. His career seemed to have taken over his life, and so he decided to follow his heart and reconnect with a childhood memory of enjoyment. Once fit, he auditioned for a local amateur drama society and was offered one of the lead roles in an upcoming production. What followed were several years falling in love with the idea of being an actor. Eventually, he plucked up the courage to leave his old life behind and in 1998 went off to pursue his childhood dream: training to become an actor.
His business background served him well after leaving drama school, as he blended business know-how with new-found awareness of the impact of body, breath and voice. In 2001 he founded his own training consultancy, More Than Words, specialising in developing personal impact and presence. More Than Words now delivers a wide variety of communication and self-awareness trainings, focusing on how our mind and emotion influence us and how we behave, and how our physical and vocal expression influences how we are perceived by others.
Having created change in his own life and having worked with people from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures to make some fundamental shifts in themselves, the self-development book Pieces of the Possible was written to bring his approach to a wider audience, and allow them to take charge of their own lives.
The title Pieces of the Possible is taken from one of Adrian’s mantras: ‘Resting between the dream of doing and the fear of failure lie the pieces of the possible’.
Adrian continues to work with people from all walks of life globally and is currently drafting a sequel to ‘Pieces of the Possible’.

Free e-books help advocates defend public services
Two new valuable resources available.
May 22, 2012: The Municipal Services Project is launching two books that make the case for services to be publicly delivered.
The first, Remunicipalization: Putting Water Back into Public Hands, was highlighted at the recent Alternative World Water Forum in Marseille, France. It tells the stories of local and national governments working to end water privatization contracts.
The book devotes a chapter to the story of Hamilton, Ontario's failed water privatization experiment, as well as profiling case studies from France, Tanzania, Argentina and Malaysia. The book's in-depth approach to both the remunicipalization, and the lessons learned, makes it a valuable resource for water activists.
The second book, Alternatives to Privatization: Public Options for Essential Services in the Global South, takes a look at successful public delivery models for health, water and electricity services in more than 40 countries in the global South.
Both books are being launched in Ottawa on May 23 by co-editor David A. McDonald of the Municipal Services Project and Council of Canadians National Chairperson Maude Barlow.
The Municipal Service Project explores alternatives to the privatization and commercialization of electricity, health, water and sanitation services in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It is composed of academics, labour unions, non-governmental organizations, social movements and activists from around the globe.

STOCKTON (CBS13) — The city of Stockton is considering expanding the use of a computer program that can pinpoint where gunshots are being fired in the city.
Shotspotter pinpoints where a shooting happened through the use of sensors that detect when shots are fired.
Stockton Police have been using the program on a small trial basis, and say they’re already seeing results.
“Since August, we’ve seen a 50 percent reduction in the amount of gunfire incidents in that area,” said Chief Eric Jones.
The department and the company’s CEO shared success stories of the trial as the police department is looking for funding to keep using and possibly expand Shotspotter’s coverage area in the city.
“It could be through fundraising donations, maybe through grants with the assistance in other state and federal agencies, as well as freeing up other city funds.
Shotspotter CEO Ralph Clark attended University of the Pacific and has a strong connection to the crime-ridden, bankrupt city.
“Stockton had a very soft place in my heart. We wanted to be here, in ground zero,” he said.
The detection system—which is in use in six California cities, including Oakland and Richmond—can cost up to $65,000 per square mile per year. Covering more than 60 miles of Stockton could cost more than $4 million a year.

In a Foreign Policy opinion piece, FP staff writer Josh Rogin lists foreign aid as one of “the top eight foreign-policy items currently held up by the do-nothing 112th Congress.” According to Rogin, “Everyone agrees that the foreign aid system is broken. Over-outsourcing, poor monitoring, and a lack of cohesion and accountability have plagued the U.S. aid system for decades. However, nobody in Congress agrees on exactly how to fix it. â€¦ The result is a nasty stalemate â€“ a familiar feature in Congress as the country heads into the 2012 presidential season” (8/4).
“In recent years, nearly every demographic study has painted a dire picture of the world’s changing demographics. Yet when the U.N. issued its latest report this past May, it seemed almost sunny,” Jonathan Last, senior writer at the Weekly Standard, writes in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. He says that “[t]he catch is that it may not be true” because “the U.N. has had to make one very big assumption: Starting tomorrow, every country in the world with fertility below the replacement rate of 2.10 will increase its fertility. And this rise will continue unabated, year after year, until every First World country has a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) near replacement.”
A case in Uganda of a woman bleeding to death while giving birth “underscores an unintended consequence of global health aid,” a Globe and Mail editorial writes, adding that “in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, a reverse trend is under way; for every $1 of development assistance for health, governments have reduced their spending,” according to a study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
“The Obama administration deserves credit for acting in advance to ameliorate the effects” of drought in East Africa, a New York Times editorial states, noting that USAID has been working since last summer, when the crisis was predicted, to “plac[e] food and other supplies in Kenya, Djibouti and South Africa” and “working on programs to help Somalia and other countries improve food production to avert future crises.”
“This week the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) launches a global campaign â€“ ‘It’s a matter of life and death’ â€“ which aims to improve security and delivery of effective and impartial health care in situations of armed conflict and other contexts of widespread violence,” Vivienne Nathanson, director of professional activities at the British Medical Association, writes in a BMJ editorial.
“Outside of immediate crisis relief,” such as the administration of measles vaccinations or oral rehydration therapy for children affected by diarrheal diseases, the U.S. government’s “past investments clearly are paying off” in the fight against drought and famine the Horn of Africa, former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) writes in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece. “U.S.-supported early-warning networks identified the famine threat a year ago,” the government is working with the World Food Programme (WFP) and the U.N. to lessen the risk of corruption and looting of food aid, and “the multi-year, multi-agency Feed the Future program [is] stimulat[ing] research into making plants more nutritious and crops more drought-resistant,” he notes.
Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President Joe Biden, and Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) write in a USA Today opinion piece about their visit last week to the Dadaab refugee camps in Kenya, stating, “Amid the devastation, we saw the impact of [U.S. and international] aid. We saw inexpensive oral rehydration packs bring listless babies back to life. We saw children getting vitamins and vaccines that will stop the spread of deadly diseases throughout the camps.”
In the wake of the agreement to raise the nation’s debt ceiling, and “[w]ith 20 percent cuts already on the table, the international affairs budget is in for a tough fight throughout the fall,” Richard Parker, director of communications for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, writes in a post on Devex’s “Obama’s Foreign Aid Reform” blog, stating, “It is more critical than ever for the development community to demonstrate how strategic and effective its programs are for U.S. national security, for our own economy, and as a demonstration of our leadership in the world.”
“We were deeply perturbed to learn that the negotiations for the Outcomes Document of the U.N. High Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), a mere month or so away, had stalled because member states failed to reach consensus,” Nalini Saligram, CEO of Arogya World, and Sandeep Kishore, an MD/PhD candidate at the Cornell/ Rockefeller/ Sloan-Kettering Institute, write in a Huffington Post opinion piece.
August 19 is recognized worldwide as World Humanitarian Day, when “[w]e honor â€¦ those who have lost their lives in humanitarian service and those who continue to bring assistance and relief to millions,” a Manila Bulletin editorial states. “World Humanitarian Day is a collaborative global celebration of humanitarian aid work joining the United Nations and over 500 national and international non-governmental organizations aimed at engaging and inspiring the general public to get involved,” the editorial notes.

Obama admonishes Netanyahu’s party after Israeli election win
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration admonished Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party on Wednesday, accusing it of using anti-Arab rhetoric ahead of Israel’s election. A spokesman said President Barack Obama still believes in Palestinian statehood — even if Netanyahu no longer does.
In its first public response to Netanyahu’s triumph in the election, the spokesman said the White House was “deeply concerned” about divisive language emanating from Netanyahu’s Likud Party. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the party had sought to marginalize Israel’s minority Arab community, an apparent reference to social media posts the Likud distributed that warned Israelis about the danger of high turnout by Arab voters.
“These are views the administration intends to convey directly to the Israelis,” Earnest said.
And while Earnest said Obama would be calling Netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory, he acknowledged the U.S. would have to re-evaluate the best way to bring about a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — a cornerstone of U.S. Mideast policy for years.
In a veer to the right just before the election, Netanyahu reversed his former position and said he now opposes the creation of a separate Palestinian state.
“Based on those comments, the U.S. will evaluate our position going forward,” Earnest told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One on a flight to Cleveland for an event focused on U.S. manufacturing.
Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to Netanyahu shortly after the election to congratulate him, Earnest said, and Obama was to do the same in the days ahead. Downplaying any suggestion the president was delaying that call, Earnest pointed out that after previous Israeli elections, Obama had waited until the Israeli president had formally tasked the leading candidate with forming a new government. Netanyahu has said he hopes to form a government quickly, within two to three weeks.

Smoked cod is one of my favourite fish to eat. I didn’t actually realise until a few weeks ago that the yellow colour that fish goes once it’s been smoked has nothing to do with the smoking process – it’ actually colouring that’s added. Who’d have know!
Laura and I tend to eat smoked cod at least once a month. It’s cheap and really versatile to cook with. It goes great in fish pies, with pasta or breaded with chips.
Within this recipe you can use any kind of pasta really. I prefer fusilli but you could swap this for whatever is in the cupboard really.
- 250g smoked cod loin
- 110g dried fusilli pasta
- 30g pumpkin seeds
- 30g pine nuts
- 5x asparagus tips (cut into quarters)
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 50g wild mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped or grated)
- 1/2 red chilli (sliced)
- 6 vine tomatoes
- Handful fresh basil (torn)
- 1 enchalion shallot (finely chopped)
- 100g vegetarian cheddar (grated)
- Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius / 392 degrees Fahrenheit / Gas mark 5.
- Boil the pasta in a deep saucepan full of salted water for between 8-12 minutes (check the pack instructions for exact cooking time).
- Place a frying pan on a medium/high heat and add a glug of olive oil. Once the oil has heated up, add in the shallot, garlic, chilli and vine tomatoes, then cover the pan and leave for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the pumpkin seeds and pine nuts then turn the heat down slightly. Leave to fry for another minute.
- Add the cod loin (whole) to the pan and season well with salt/pepper. Then pour over half the tin of chopped tomatoes and add the asparagus and basil. Cover the pan and leave for 4 minutes.
- The cod will have softened now so use the back of a wooden spoon to flake apart the cod into smaller chunks (this is much easier than chopping the cod before-hand). Mix everything together well and add in to a deep oven-proof dish (a casserole dish will be perfect). Also, drain off the pasta and rinse with cold water then add it to the oven-proof dish. Finally, scatter the grated cheese over the top and place within the oven with the lid off for 20 minutes.
- Take out the dish and leave to cool for a minute before serving up.


- In a recent interview, California Democrat Ted Lieu publicly stated that he wants to restrict and regulate the bedrock of our country and our freedoms, the First Amendment’s guarantee of free speech.
- Specifically, "However, I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that's simply a function of the First Amendment, but I think over the long run, it's better the government does not regulate the content of speech."
- He would also like to regulate Fox News, destroying freedom of the press in addition to freedom of speech.
- This twenty something, former bartender has not served a day in office but recently labeled a former four star, career marine general a coward.
- That is what she called former Trump chief of staff, John Kelly, a coward.
- Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out that Kelly should apologize to Congresswoman Frederica Wilson when he called her an “empty barrel” for disclosing the contents of Trump’s phone call with a Gold Star family.
3) While Ted Lieu fantasizes about eliminating the First Amendment via regulation, a former Congressman is taking a different approach to dismantling the Constitution:
- Former Congressman John Dingell would like to see both the Senate and the Electoral College eliminated.
- The Senate and Electoral College were brilliant government processes that were put in place to protect the rights of all Americans and especially the rights of Americans living in smaller, less populated states from having their rights overwhelmed by larger, more populated states,
- They are both brilliant check and balance devices to keep government and the politicians that operate government under control.
- It is funny that Dingell never called for their elimination when election results went Democrats’ way and the Democrat had a Senate majority, also quite hypocritical.
- The system of government put forth in the Constitution tried to ensure that no political party or bloc of citizens ever had total control of government
One good sign that AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] should run for president is that she has a nickname — AOC.”

“Maker made history in 2017 as the first blockchain-based protocol to launch a major automated cryptocurrency-lending platform, helping to initiate a boom in what’s known as decentralized finance, or DeFi.
Now Maker is paving the way for what might become another source of growth in the now-$60 billion DeFi industry: lending against trillions of dollars of “real-world” assets like residential properties, in competition with banks and other financiers.
On Wednesday, members of the MakerDAO community – the decentralized organization that governs the project – passed an executive vote to allow an ERC-20 token representing an ownership stake in a pool of real estate assets as collateral.
This is DeFi taking on traditional finance.
The latest move to add real-world assets greatly increases the addressable market for collateralized loans.
Notably, Citigroup wrote about the report last week, calling referring to MakerDAO as ‘the decentral bank.‘”
“Miners have raised Ethereum’s gas limit to almost 15 million for the first time in a bid to relieve transaction congestion at a time when on-chain activity is increasing with ether’s price.
The Ethereum gas limit sets a ceiling for how many operations can be included in each block. Before the increase, miners set Ethereum’s gas limit at 12.5 million until Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin suggested raising it last week on Reddit, in light of recent code optimizations activated on the network.
Now that the chain is safer, we can increase the gas limit, which makes every application cheaper.
This is the seventh time in Ethereum’s history that miners have voted to increase the gas limit as a temporary solution to rising network fees. Along with the increase, Ethereum developers are also working on a parallel blockchain network, dubbed “Ethereum 2.0,” to reduce the issue of high fees and network congestion for the long-term.”
“The ratio was 48% as of 15:44 coordinated universal time (11:44 a.m. ET) and came as ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain and the second-largest overall, surged to a new all-time high.
It’s a signal the market is risk-on and ‘alts’ are outperforming. This is the scenario we’ve been seeing lately, and it reminds us of mid-2017.”
“Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, has attracted the attention of regulators for selling “stock tokens,” designed to track the performance of shares. Red flags have already been raised by Hong Kong law firms regarding the two tokens launched earlier this month.
U.K. regulator the Financial Conduct Authority told the FT it is ‘working with the firm to understand the product, the regulations that may apply to it and how it is marketed.’
If the tokens are transferable, can be traded at a crypto exchange and are equipped with economic entitlements like dividends or cash settlements, they represent securities and are subject to the obligation to publish a prospectus.
Tesla and Coinbase token holders are indeed entitled to potential dividends, Binance said, but don’t confer any of the voting rights associated with regular securities.”
“Wyoming has become the first state to clarify the legal status of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), allowing Wyoming to recognize DAOs as limited liability corporations (LLCs), effective July 1. Proponents of the law say that it will protect DAOs from being sued as general partnerships in court and makes the rights of DAOs as legal persons enforceable in court.
We look for feedback from the user community to understand any shortcomings of the LLC structure so that we can improve our existing DAO legislation and consider further DAO corporate supplements. Maybe we need a DAO C Corp next to address other challenges. We’re certainly not done yet.”
“One of Morgan Stanley’s new bitcoin-only private funds raised $29.4 million from 322 investors in its first 14 days. In just 14 days, Morgan Stanley’s FS/NYDIG fund has become one of the most popular private bitcoin vehicles, beating out far-older industry offerings from Pantera and Galaxy by investor count.
The early returns for “FS NYDIG Select Bitcoin Fund LP” indicate investors are indeed hungry for accessing bitcoin products through their institutional managers. Passive funds like Morgan Stanley’s fare give clients unwilling to custody their own keys an easy way into the asset class.”
“Canada’s largest digital asset manager, 3iQ Corp, aims to raise over $200 million in proceeds from the dual listing of its 3iQ Coinshares bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Dubai. Launched in 2020, 3iQ’s ETF is the first cryptocurrency fund to go public in the Middle East. The company received regulatory approval for the dual listing earlier this week.
We trade on the North American market times, and Dubai is almost perfectly opposite of what our trading hours are.”
“The problem right now for crypto traders is that to get loans or receive leverage from lenders like Celsius or BlockFi, they need to over-collateralize.
Using the X-Margin Credit system, if Celsius is going to lend to a hedge fund like Dunamis, the fund’s risk profile is made available on the fly, based on all the positions it has across venues like Binance, BitMEX or Deribit, for example. This is done using anonymous data thanks to zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), so the lender is not privy to the hedge fund’s whole trading strategy.
X-Margin Credit is a provably unbiased arbitrator of trading risk. We calculate trading firms’ overall risk so that lenders extending credit can make real-time decisions about that, without traders needing to reveal their sensitive trade data to anyone, including us.”
“Heavy scrutiny of coal mines in Xinjiang, new regulations on high energy-consuming companies in Inner Mongolia and the end of a local energy policy in Sichuan have unnerved some bitcoin miners in China. The regulatory challenges from these three regions are distinct, but they epitomize some of the biggest long-term policy risks when Chinese crypto miners deal with local authorities.
With so much hashrate concentrated in China, the volatile regulatory environment for Chinese miners can have significant ripple effects on bitcoin’s global market.”
“The CEO of Turkish crypto exchange Thodex has gone missing at a time when users filed a complaint alleging hundreds of million of dollars have been stolen. Exchange executives are deactivating their social media profiles and the platform’s customer support group is inaccessible.
Before shutting down transactions, Thodex was trading more than $585 million in cryptocurrencies on its exchange. The exchange also had about 400,000 users, 390,000 of whom were trading actively.
People in Turkey have increasingly been turning to crypto as a hedge against inflation. Earlier this month, the central bank announced that the republic was banning the use of cryptocurrencies for payments. Crypto trading remains unaffected by the new law, which is set to go into effect at the end of the month. So Thodex’s sudden disappearance appears to be an isolated incident.
There may be a scam here because there have been problems with this exchange for days.”
“The Seychelles-based exchange is adding spot, brokerage, custody, information products and educational service. No time frame was given for when the products would be made available.
The exchange also said it would be seeking “additional licenses in highly respected jurisdictions.” Derivatives are to remain at “the heart” of BitMEX’s business, however, according to the post.”

A large earthquake several hundred kilometers offshore Japan triggered a tsunami warning and a subsequent small tsunami, in the early morning hours of Nov. 15. No major damage has been reported, and although the region is highly seismically active, the earthquake itself was slightly unusual, according to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists.
Centered about 350 kilometers (215 miles) to the east of the city of Sendai,
on the eastern shore of the island of Honshu, the earthquake occurred at 7:38
a.m. local time. The magnitude was around 6.9 or 7.0, according to the USGS
National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) in Golden, Colo., and the Harvard
Centroid-Moment-Tensor (CMT) project, in Cambridge, Mass. The largest tsunami
waves triggered were about 50 centimeters high, or about a foot and a half tall,
according to Ross Stein, a seismologist at USGS in Menlo Park, Calif.
Major earthquakes that have occurred offshore Honshu, Japan, since 1900 tend to have been centered below the Japanese plate, unlike yesterday's earthquake, marked by the central star, which occurred east of the fault that marks the boundary between the Japanese plate and the Pacific plate diving beneath it. Courtesy of USGS NEIC.
The earthquake occurred where the Pacific plate, which is moving west, dives beneath Japan at a rate of about 8 centimeters a year. Usually, the Pacific plate tends to make the Japanese plate jump up vertically during earthquakes, which tend to be centered on the Japan side of the subduction fault where the two plates meet. Both NEIC and the Harvard CMT scientists found that the earthquake was caused instead by the Japanese plate dropping down relative to the Pacific plate, Stein says, making the current earthquake "unusual."
Stuart Sipkin, a seismologist at NEIC, was less surprised by the movement during the earthquake than he was by the location of its epicenter, which was farther east (and farther seaward) of the trench "than we're used to seeing for this area." Its position relative to the majority of earthquakes on this subduction fault is "not totally abnormal," but not expected either, he says.
Vertical plate jumps, either up or down (though usually up), can create tsunamis. Still, this tsunami turned out to be "nothing to get excited about," Sipkin says. Still, "ever since last December, everybody is very tsunami-conscious," he says. "Any earthquake large enough to generate a tsunami is generating a lot of public interest that dissipates as soon as it's evident it didn't generate a tsunami."
Japan is no stranger to tsunamis. Around 90 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific, and historians have tracked such events in Japan's written records for hundreds of years. "Japan is so vulnerable and has suffered so much damage," Stein says, that "it's not an accident that [tsunami] is a Japanese word."
Japan has invested tens of millions of dollars annually in its earthquake research programs, which, among other results, have led to an online real-time tsunami warning system that was activated for this most recent earthquake. Several hundred homes were ordered to evacuate briefly, according to Agence France-Presse.
Eric Geist of USGS in Menlo Park, Calif., says that yesterday's event occurred in the vicinity of a 1933 earthquake, nicknamed Sanriku, which killed several thousand people: It was far offshore and created a tsunami that was 29 meters at one place. The town of Ofunatu, which had a wave of 30 centimeters yesterday, experienced a 3.6-meter wave in 1933. That earthquake was magnitude 8.4, much larger than yesterday's event. Because both events took place in deep water, he says, the tsunamis they triggered get "amplified by the time it gets to shore."
Historically, around three or four large events, around magnitude 8, have occurred on this subduction fault over the past several centuries, as the Pacific plate slowly presses westward under Japan. A magnitude-7 earthquake is not large enough to relieve all the stress of the Pacific plate's movement, so, Stein says, a very slight possibility (around 5 percent) exists that an even larger earthquake could follow yesterday's event.

In today’s fast-paced world, technology evolves at breakneck speed, significantly impacting businesses across all sectors. Staying abreast of the latest technological trends isn’t just a matter of choice; it’s a necessity for organizations aiming to thrive and remain competitive. Upgrading to modern technology is pivotal in harnessing the full potential of your organization, enabling not just survival but flourishing growth in an increasingly digital landscape.
This article delves into the myriad benefits of embracing such technological advancements, from enhancing efficiency to fortifying data security, setting the stage for a compelling argument in favor of tech upgrades.
The adoption of modern technology within an organization can transform the way it operates, driving unprecedented levels of efficiency and productivity. Automation tools and software can take over routine, time-consuming tasks, freeing up your team to focus on more strategic, value-added activities.
Integrated systems streamline workflows, reducing the likelihood of errors and duplication of work. This seamless operation not only accelerates processes but also significantly boosts overall productivity, ensuring your organization can do more with less and stand out in a crowded marketplace.
In an era where data breaches are not just costly but can also tarnish an organization’s reputation, investing in advanced technology for improved data security is non-negotiable. Modern security solutions offer robust protections against cyber threats, employing encryption, multi-factor authentication, and other cutting-edge measures to safeguard sensitive information.
By upgrading your technology, you’re not only ensuring compliance with stringent data protection regulations but also building trust with your clients and stakeholders, affirming that their data is in safe hands.
Embracing the latest technological advancements can significantly differentiate your organization in a competitive marketplace. With cutting-edge tools and systems, you’re better equipped to innovate, offering new and improved services, products, and customer experiences that meet the evolving demands of your audience. Technology enables you to analyze market trends and customer data more effectively, allowing for a more agile and responsive strategy.
This proactive approach to adopting new technologies not only positions your organization as a leader in your industry but also attracts customers looking for the most innovative solutions.
Tech upgrades can bring their share of challenges, from compatibility issues to the need for comprehensive employee training. It’s crucial to anticipate these hurdles and have strategies in place to overcome them. For instance, compatibility concerns, such as “why is erase assistant not supported on my mac,” can often be resolved through software updates or consulting with tech support. Ensuring your team is well-prepared through effective training, resources, and support will smooth the transition to new systems, minimizing disruptions and maximizing the benefits of your technology upgrade.
The shift towards remote work has been accelerated by recent global events, making technology an indispensable ally in maintaining operational continuity. Advanced communication and collaboration tools, cloud computing, and secure remote access systems have made it possible for teams to work effectively from anywhere. This flexibility not only supports employee work-life balance but also opens up a global talent pool for the organization.
By leveraging technology to support remote work environments, organizations can maintain, and even enhance, productivity, teamwork, and employee satisfaction in a distributed work model.
Investing in modern technology might seem like a substantial upfront cost, but the long-term savings it can bring are significant. Automation and streamlined processes reduce the need for manual intervention, cutting down on labor costs and minimizing human error. Up-to-date systems are generally more energy-efficient and require less maintenance, leading to lower operational costs.
Additionally, the improved reliability and uptime of modern systems mean less downtime for your organization, preventing the lost revenue associated with outages and system failures. Over time, these efficiencies translate into substantial cost savings, making the initial investment in technology well worth it.
A successful tech upgrade begins with thorough planning and stakeholder involvement. Assess your organization’s specific needs and set clear objectives for what you aim to achieve with the upgrade. Engage with all stakeholders—from IT staff to end-users—to gather insights and ensure the new technology aligns with everyone’s requirements. A collaborative approach will pave the way for a smoother implementation and higher adoption rates across your organization.
Upgrading your organization’s technology is more than a mere enhancement; it’s a fundamental step toward ensuring your business remains relevant, competitive, and efficient in an ever-evolving digital landscape. The benefits—ranging from increased productivity and improved data security to cost savings and a competitive edge—underscore the importance of keeping pace with technological advancements.
As we move forward, let the potential for growth, innovation, and efficiency inspire your organization to embrace the power of modern technology, setting a course for a future where your business not only survives but thrives.

If you are looking for an old familiar friend in a new and exciting way, look no further! 3:16 is the book for you. Max Lucado has once again brought fresh insight into a verse (John 3:16) that all Christians can recite on demand. We’ve heard it since childhood and many of us proudly received our “gold star” as our memory verse badge of honor. Yet this is a verse we do actually remember, and recite over and over again. This is our old standby, the foundation of churches and Christians; we understand it, agree on it, proclaim it, we get it … or do we?
Max Lucado offers a deeper and clearer understanding of this simple but oh so powerful verse in scripture. He calls it “The Hope Diamond of the Bible” and reminds us of the depth of its meaning. He breaks the verse apart and takes us through, chapter by chapter, the intricacy of each phrase’s meaning. As usual, Lucado interjects his always-relatable stories with other scripture to bring everything into crystal clear focus. His descriptive narrative makes every scene jump off of the page and transports you back into time as if you were truly there with Jesus and Nicodemus. 3:16 will give you a new definition of love; not the “warm and fuzzy” love that a lot of us learned about in Sunday School, but a powerful, gut-wrenching, life-changing kind of love. Love that … Includes everyone, even the unlovable
… Forgives and shows mercy, even to the undeserving
… Offers hope even to the hopeless
… Brought a perfect and worthy Son, to us the unworthy
This book is an easy and fast read. Curl up on a cold or rainy day and I promise you won’t put it down. It also includes a 40-day devotional guide, 40 Days with the Son.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I am forever changed. 3:16 is also a musical we performed at church a few years ago, BEAUTIFUL songs that will fill your heart with praise, thanks Jeremy! So if you get a chance, pick up the CD (yes they still make them!) Lucado dedicated this book to his daughter Sara, who was recently on HGTV’s Fixer Upper with Chip and Jo. I am a Big Fan!
I will end with a quote from the book:
“A twenty six word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions. If you know nothing of the Bible, start here. If you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. The heart of the human problem is at the heart of the human. And God’s treatment is prescribed in John 3:16.” “He loves. He gave. We believe. We live.”
Happy Reading, Lisa

Justin Timberlake’s manager has urged Janet Jackson to forgive the Cry Me a River singer after their infamous 2004 Super Bowl performance bust-up.
The Rhythm Nation hitmaker was left stunned when Justin heaped the blame on her for their ill-conceived bra-ripping set, which upset censors and the National Football League, and now his manager, Johnny Wright, who formerly represented Janet, has urged the 54-year-old to forgive and forget.
Wright was responding to a picture Janet posted on Instagram, which read: “Always choose to heal, not hurt. To forgive, not to despise. To persevere, not to quit. To smile, not to frown. And to love, not to hate”.
Johnny wrote in the comments: “You should take this advice and to apply it to your relationship with Justin (sic)”.
Justin recently issued a public apology to Janet, as well as to his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, after he was criticized online for the way he treated the women in his life following the release of the explosive Framing Britney Spears documentary.

Governor Willie Obiano is today marking his sixty-sixth birthday anniversary.
The birthday, which is his last in office as the governor of Anambra State, would be marked in a solemn way as he will as usual, use the opportunity to meditate, with his family, on his relationship with his maker and God’s abundant blessings to him and people around him.
While urging all Anambra people at home and elsewhere to keep remembering him in their daily prayers, Governor Obiano asked those, who have planned to present him gifts or placed advertisements in the media to donate the gifts or give the monetary value to any charity of their choice, especially the Caring Family Enhancement Initiative, CAFÉ, which runs, among other things, a home for the aged and mentally challenged people in the society, many of whom, were abandoned for several years by their respective families.
A release signed by the commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba said Chief Obiano is grateful to God for blessing him with excellent health and for lifting him, the son of a missionary primary school teacher, whose wife was a fish seller to key leadership positions in both the private and public sectors where he has done his best to demonstrate authentic Christian values in the belief that any person, who serves fellow beings and society well is at the same time worshipping God directly.
According to the release, Anambra State Government is appreciative of the gestures of love and solidarity, which have come spontaneously from not just people and organizations based in the state but also those outside.
