Darla Jackson’s Beautiful Dead Birds
I find it interesting that when we discover new artists nowadays, it’s usually after being struck by a single image in our social media feed.
This one got me:
Sometimes that’s where it ends, and I don’t end up caring for the rest of the artist’s work, but that was not the case with Darla Jackson’s pieces. They are ALL captivating. There’s a dark, haunting fragility about her work, and I love that she can show that fragility through such a messy, heavy medium like clay.
For this post I’ll focus on her birds.
The perfectly-sculpted dead birds seem to be posing themselves – and then when they have secret hidey holes in their chests, you wonder what they are hiding – or offering.
And these are the unfinished birds. Let’s look at some of her finished pieces:
They end up being all the more shadowy and mysterious, yet still lovely.
There are so many stories that could come from each of these pieces. I’m seeing similarities between this work and the paintings of Bella Ormseth – the shadowy mysteries, the human emotions conveyed through non-human beings.
Plus I really, really want more. I want to hear the stories from each creature’s mouth. What can they tell us? Or hold for us?
Oh! If you love geeking out on art process, definitely watch Darla’s Instagram stories – the one called Bird Mold is A+++.
Darla took the time to answer my artist questionnaire, and here’s what she told me:
Describe your typical day.
I wake up early-ish to feed our 5 cats, then try to get a workout in before starting my day. I’ll make a coffee and head upstairs to either sculpt or teach a class depending on what day of the week it is. (On Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays I teach at either PA Academy of the Fine Arts or Stockton University, both online this semester.)
I start out with some small sculptures to get into it, then move on to whatever project is my priority at the moment. I try to take some process shots or videos while I’m working so I can share them to Instagram.
I usually work until 11:30 and then head downstairs to eat lunch with my partner Paul and daughter Olivia. After lunch I’ll head back upstairs to sculpt some more, getting as much work in while there is natural light (I don’t like sculpting at night if I can help it.) Paul’s studio is right next to mine so if I get stuck I ask him to look at the piece.
I try to clean up before finishing for the day so I can get started right away the next day. After cleaning up I usually hang out with Olivia. We have been partial to playing Just Dance on the Switch, but sometimes we go for Animal Crossing instead. Paul will make an amazing dinner, which we eat together and then watch an episode of Avatar: The Last Air Bender.
I get her ready for bed and then Paul and I will watch a bit of something together (anything from The Office to scary movies to Chopped or food videos on YouTube…we make snacks if its food shows) before he makes me a bath. Sometimes the kittens try to get in and that’s fun for them, not as much for me.
Then I will read a bit before bed (right now Piranesi, Japanese Death Poems and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat) and then fall asleep, (but not before setting 3 separate alarms for the next day.)
Name your 1 to 3 favorite art-making tools.
My favorite tools (or rather, most used because I have so may favorites!) are a small wooden modeling tool, a wire rake, and a pack of double sided stainless steel modeling tools.
What do you dislike about being an artist?
The inability to focus on just making art! Truth be told, I do like the organizational/business end of things too but I really wish there was more time to focus on the actual art making.
What are you influenced by? People, places, or things. Just a list – you don’t need to go into detail unless you want to.
Emotions most of all. I am so interested in portraying emotions in my work. Body Language. I feel like body language tells a story on its own. Animals. I see the animals I sculpt as stand ins for humans but I do love animals and am hugely inspired by them!
Unrelated to art, but very important: Do you have any pets? What is your favorite beverage? What is your favorite article of clothing?
Yes! 5 cats: Spooky Stuff, Pancakes, Sometimes aka Momma, Tokoyami and Pigeon. My favorite everyday beverage is a cappuccino/latte. My favorite adult beverage is an Old Fashioned. My favorite article of clothing is my grandfather’s Bela Lugosi T-shirt.
Last question. Finish the sentence: Art Makes People…
…think more deeply about themselves.
Anything else you’d like us to know about you and your creations?
In addition to 5 cats, I share my life with my partner Paul Romano (@workhardened) and my daughter Olivia (@oliviasdrawlloween). Also, I usually make my work out of clay and then make molds and cast it. However lately I’ve been doing more firing and it terrifies me!
Yay! You stayed til the end. Here’s a prize for you: studio sneak peeks.

Pragmatic Steps to Take to Extend the Life Cycle of Your Industrial Steam Boiler System
Considering how invaluable an industrial steam boiler system is to your manufacturing business' daily operations, there are two major factors that you need to keep in mind when shopping for this equipment — its durability and its energy efficiency.
But one mistake that some industrialists make is overlooking minor practices and this is what will inadvertently reduce the lifespan of your equipment. Therefore, to make the most of your new industrial steam boiler system, there are several preventative measures that you need to take. To help with that, here are some pragmatic steps that can extend the life cycle of your industrial steam boiler.
Alternate the lead boiler of your modular system
Modular industrial boiler systems are undoubtedly the most popular option for many industrial plants and this can be attributed to the fact that they produce the precise volume of steam required for your various applications. While there could be occasions that would require all the boilers in the modular system to be up and running, you will typically only have the lead boiler in use for most days and this helps with water conservation.
Nonetheless, the constant demand for the lead boiler to be in operation is what contributes to its gradual decline. Resultantly, you may have to engage in repairs frequently and eventually have to replace it altogether. To avoid undue expenses, you should consider alternating the lead boiler every few months so that all the units in the modular system are exposed to the same demands. This measure not only prevents overworking of the lead boiler but also works to keep the entire system working at optimum for longer.
Stick to a rigorous water treatment schedule
A constant threat that your industrial steam boiler system is exposed to is the accumulation of scale on its internal components. This scale comes about when the minerals in the water harden due to continual exposure to high temperatures. Consequently, the hardened minerals coat the interior lining of the boiler units and the internal parts and this will jeopardise their performance and eventually diminish their shelf life.
If you do not want to pay for the replacement of these parts regularly, you must have a water treatment schedule in place so that your boiler system is cleaned habitually by professionals. It is also important to bear in mind that an excessive amount of scale in the industrial steam boiler system can cause this equipment to malfunction, which would be disastrous for your industrial plant. To learn more, contact an industrial steam boiler service.

Labrona Gradient is constructed from field recordings taken along a roughly 2km stretch of the River Lee, beginning at Pope’s Quay then traveling west along the Banks of the Lee Walkway, through Fitzgerald Park, and ending at the point where the two channels of the Lee converge across from the Kingsley Hotel. The inspiration for this work stemmed directly from my almost daily walks along this route during the Covid-19 lockdowns in Cork. As a way to clear my mind and to escape the confines of my apartment, I would walk this route and listen to the sounds of the riverside environment, being constantly intrigued by the variations, ebbs, and flows in the soundscape at different points along the river. I became inspired to create a piece of music that would use the river itself as a guiding factor for the composition.
Labrona Gradient uses the natural environment from which the field recordings originated as inspiration for the structure and form, utilizing a map of the segment of the Lee River where my walks took place as a score.
This piece is not an attempt to document the Lee River environment or communicate a particular aspect of the sonic landscape but rather to explore the unique sounds of the river environment whilst using the landscape itself as a framework for composition. While one might find similarities between the listening experience of Labrona Gradient and the experience of walking along the river route and listening, the piece ultimately attempts to transcend the physical environment through the re-contextualization of the recorded environmental sound. By using tools such as hydrophones, contact microphones, digital processing, and layering, the piece offers an immersion into a virtually augmented sound-world that would not have been accessible otherwise.

The Student Letters (SL) at the time of the revolution were created by students, but their content was intended for the wider reading public. This was reflected in the number of copies sold, which today are comparable to the most widely published newspapers. For the next two years, SL authors significantly influenced public life in the early 1990s with their uncompromising positions.
The exhibition Student Letters and the Revolution of 1989 aims to use the story of one magazine to show how the social situation was shaped in a country where a totalitarian regime had fallen and a democratic one was just getting on its feet. The exhibition shows not only the main themes of the time, but also the people who co-created it.
The opening will take place on 2 November at the Rock Café gallery at 6pm. You can look forward not only to the founders of the Student Papers, but also to a musical opening.

2019 marks The Olive Tree Market’s tenth anniversary, so like us, you‘ve probably attended the markets more than a few times yourself. Rather than make founder Justine Gaudry sit through the same old questions, we decided to focus on her lifelong affinity with artisan markets and the incredible work she does to support our city’s creative industries.
It seems Justine was inculcated into the world of the handmade market scene from a young age. It’s in her blood. It’s as if her role was chosen for her long ago.
One of her favourite things as a child in the seventies, was visiting her Uncle Brad’s stall at Paddington Markets. Brad would travel from his farm in Gerringong on the South Coast to sell coloured beeswax candles, tie dyed shirts and incense made by Hare Krishnas. He also made Honey Surf Wax, Australia’s first surfboard wax.
“The stalls on either side of my uncle were Jim Burlington, the leader of the Marijuana Party and Bob Ellicott the local Liberal member who became the Governor General. Jenny Kee, the fashion designer was there as well,” Justine says. “This was the beginning of my fascination with makers and the culture and community that grows around a market.”
As she grew older, her passion for culture, community and the handmade also grew. Her grandfather, who she says travelled more than anyone she’s ever met, backpacked from London to Kathmandu at the age of seventy. His tales of adventure and distant treasures inspired her to start exploring abroad.
“My grandfather started me travelling young, he was the first person I travelled with and we went to markets in Greece, Italy and Turkey,” she explains holding up an ornate mask that he purchased from a Mexican market. “My favourite markets were in Egypt and Morocco in the late eighties.”
As Justine sorts through her collection of market finds, it becomes evident that ceramics are one of her obsessions. But apparently not everyone in her family feels the same.
“My daughter really hates this one, she finds it scary,” Justine says pointing at an articulated ceramic figurine. “Whenever I display it in the house, it mysteriously disappears, and I find she has hidden it away.”
Scouring through Justine’s assortment of ceramics is a who’s who of the Novocastrian art world. “Ellie Hannon is one of my favourite artists from Olive Tree,” she says, holding up one of Hannon’s ceramic faces. “I usually buy things from people who I think are really talented or I can see are evolving as artists.”
Her passion for local artists doesn’t stop at ceramicists. She spots another piece in the pile of treasures and grabs it.
“Do you know Maggie Hensel Brown? Maggie specialises in textiles and now focuses on needle lace making. She recently travelled to Europe to do Italian lace making workshops in Somerset, went to the International Lace Makers Guild Conference in Amsterdam and attended Dutch lace making workshops,” Justine explains, showing a beautiful stone covered in ornate lacework crochet. “She currently has work in an exhibition at the Hunterdon Art Museum in New Jersey, featuring contemporary artists who use lace making in their art.
Watching Justine sort through her collection it’s evident why she was drawn to create something like Olive Tree. Each artefact she holds renews her enthusiasm as if recharging her batteries.
When asked how it all came together, Justine explains that she, and Olive Tree’s co-founders, Bec and Ally, had a very strong vision for the markets from the start and spent four to five months planning and interviewing potential stallholders.
“We had to work hard from the beginning to show artists that markets were a viable option for them,” she explains.
“We’ve stuck so strictly to the handmade component and supporting that community, so it wasn’t long before it really took off.”
“It’s been an ethical decision but it means we’re now a market with one of the highest levels of handmade products in Australia, which is a huge selling point for us and obviously something we are quite proud of.”
Justine is passionate about supporting start-up businesses. To commemorate the market’s ten year anniversary, she recently launched the Emerging Artist Stall Start-Up Program which allows businesses or emerging creatives, with a focus on young people under age thirty, to apply for a free stall package.
“I think one of the biggest challenges for creatives is the outlay of trying to get ready for a market,” she says. “There’s a lot of cool things happening with young people in this city and they need our support.”
“The next twelve months will see a number of new activities happening alongside the markets,” she shares. “A huge focus will be on supporting the next generation of emerging artists, and we will continue to run workshops and a range of other events.”
As you join the crowds, coffee in hand, to wander the many stalls of the Olive Tree Market, you can’t help but feel inspired by the creativity and talent of the artists, musicians and foodies on display. There is a strong sense of community spirit and of supporting one another, which is a true testament to Justine’s hard work and passion for local creatives. We can’t wait to see what the next ten years bring.

“The Russian investigation isn’t a “witch Hunt”; it’s a needed effort to get to the bottom of this matter”.
– “No, I would not give General Flynn immunity for his testimony. For Congress to grant him immunity during an FBI investigation would be a mistake. What if they uncovered some serious violation.”
WHO SAID THAT? ADAM SCHIFF? OF COURSE NOT! HE’S A DEMOCRAT. HE DOESN’T HAVE TO SAY. THERE’S ALWAYS A “VICHY” REPUBLICAN WHO WILL CARRY THE ESTABLISHMENT WATER.
THE ANSWER: JASON ‘CHASIN’ CHAFFETZ (on Fox News Friday AM)
Even as Chaffetz was giving the reasons General Flynn should not be given immunity, he was providing compelling recollections of GOP ineptitude and solid justification for granting it. Chaffetz noted that “5 people were given immunity during the Clinton email investigation…and we saw that nothing was able to be uncovered.”
Uh, yeah, ‘Chasin’ . You could also recall the Valerie Plame “FBI/special prosecutor investigation” which saw Scooter Libby convicted of perjury and obstruction because his recollections differed from those of reporter Tim Russert’s. Flynn would be crazy to testify without immunity. Libby was not convicted of any crime he committed. He was convicted of being a a Republican Cheney staffer.
News flash, Chasin’, it IS a witch hunt!
HERE’S THE VIDEO OF CHAFFETZ’S FOX APPEARANCE this morning (we urge you to listen to his remarks):
BY THE WAY — Think his position on the “Russian election interference” has anything to do with his aspirations to run for Orrin Hatch’s seat??
AND DO YOU RECALL THIS (from the liberal The Atlantic but essentially factual):
Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz chairs the House’s watchdog committee. But critics charge he’d rather overlook the Trump administration’s infractions than look into them.
When Donald Trump’s now-notorious Access Hollywood tape first leaked in October last year, Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz reacted to the news the way he usually does—he got himself in front of a camera, and fast.
Within hours after the story broke, he was on the set of Salt Lake City’s Fox 13 News, declaring, “I’m out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president.” Chaffetz was the first Republican in Congress to officially withdraw his endorsement from Trump, and he milked the moment for all it was worth—going on for several minutes in the interview about Trump’s “abhorrent and offensive” language, about the “awful place” the nominee had put the country in, about how he could no longer look his teenage daughter in the eye while supporting this candidacy.
Two and a half weeks later, he announced he would vote for Trump after all.
The apparent reversal did not escape the attention—or derision—of the political press. (“Jason Chaffetz just set some sort of modern record for flip-floppery,”wrote one Washington Post blogger.) To the congressman’s detractors, the episode encapsulated all the worst traits Chaffetz is accused of: the shameless camera-mugging, the brazen partisanship, the wet-finger-in-the-air opportunism. Chaffetz, though, has no regrets.
Jason “Chasin’ is “Establishment” all the way.

Suncor Energy acquires nearly 73 per cent of Canadian Oil Sands shares

The Canadian Press
Published Saturday, February 6, 2016 7:53AM EST
CALGARY - Suncor Energy has announced that nearly 73 per cent of Canadian Oil Sands shares and accompanying rights have been tendered to Suncor's offer.
Suncor officials said that as a result, the company will be able to ensure that a subsequent acquisition transaction will be completed and Suncor (TSX:SU) will acquire the remainder of the outstanding COS shares.
In mid-January, COS (TSX:COS) accepted a sweetened takeover offer from Suncor Energy as the market outlook for oilsands producers deteriorates.
The deal drew to a close a bitter takeover battle that pitted two partners in the massive Syncrude oilsands mine against each other.
Suncor offered to exchange 0.28 of one of its shares for each COS share -- up from 0.25 of a Suncor share per COS share.
Steve Williams, Suncor president and chief executive officer, said they were pleased with the strong level of support from COS shareholders.

COVINGTON, Ga. — Newton commissioners have given the go-ahead to construction of millions of dollars’ worth of upgrades to the county’s main water treatment plant.
They also approved an 8% increase in a loan that county water system officials say they need to get started.
Commissioners on Tuesday, Sept. 15, approved a request from the county’s Water Resources department to begin construction on a $32 million upgrade of the Cornish Creek water treatment plant at Lake Varner.
Crowder Construction Co. and a total of 19 subcontractors will do the work, according to documents provided to commissioners.
Construction is scheduled to begin in October with completion set for early 2023, according to a schedule submitted to state officials.
The project will include a new floating dock pump station and water line for drawing up to 35 million gallons of raw water per day from Lake Varner.
It also is set to add three new high-service pumps for treated water; and improvements to the bulk chemical storage area, plant electrical system and backup generator.
Relocation of the operator control room and plant laboratory, among other improvements, also are included, according to documents.
The plant currently treats an average of 13.5 million gallons. The improvements will allow the facility to produce up to 25 million gallons of treated water “on a continuous basis,” county Water Resources director James Brown told commissioners.
It will also be designed to allow expansion to produce 35 million gallons a day, according to the documents.
The project follows improvements made in a first phase to the water system’s Alcovy River pump station, said county spokesman Bryan Fazio.
The next phase will include improvements to the system’s Williams Street water treatment plant in downtown Covington, he said.
Commissioners also approved increasing a loan a state agency approved in 2018 for the Newton County water system improvements.
Increase in the loan is 8% — from $23.2 million to $25.8 million, Brown said.
The additional funds will go for engineering design costs, as well as cleaning of sludge lagoons needed before construction could begin, Fazio said.
The loan is from federal funds managed by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority and is being repaid with money generated by current water rates, according to documents.
The Newton County Water System is a wholesale provider of water treated at the Cornish Creek and Williams Street plants.
Its customers include the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority; the cities of Covington, Mansfield, Newborn, Oxford and Porterdale; and the Alcovy Shores Water Authority, Jasper County Water and Sewer Authority, and Walton County Board of Commissioners, according to information from the water system.

"I'm speaking up to the international community because they have an obligation to make a strong statement about these huge wrongs that are happening in Egypt," Sarah Attia told AFP.
"The fact that so many people are still suffering, the fact that my husband is still in prison, says to me that they have not done enough," the 33-year-old said.
Attia's husband Khaled al-Qazzaz was arrested in July last year along with Egypt's ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
Qazzaz, who was Morsi's top foreign policy aide but not a member of the president's now-banned Muslim Brotherhood, has been detained for nearly 420 days without charge.
He is not alone.
Following the toppling of Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, the authorities have cracked down on the Brotherhood, with some 1,400 people believed killed.
An estimated 15,000 more have been imprisoned, and hundreds have been sentenced to death in speedy mass trials in what Attia described as "kangaroo courts".
The mother of four voiced concern however that just speaking about the case could put her husband at risk of "fabricated charges".
"I wake up every day fearing the worst for my family, for my husband."
Speaking ahead of meetings with the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human rights, Attia voiced hope the international community would step up and help the "tens of thousands of people who are suffering in Egypt from horrific human rights abuses".
As a Canadian citizen, she said she wants to see the country she was born and raised in do more to help her husband, a permanent Canadian resident.
When Qazzaz was arrested — on his 34th birthday — his wife and children had been waiting at home to celebrate.
"He never came home," she said.
Attia said she had not known where Qazzaz was being held for the first two months, although he had been allowed to call occasionally.
She said she has learned distressing details about his conditions at the Tora prison in Cairo.
"For the past 418 days, he has been held in solitary confinement, in a tiny cell, with very little human interaction (and) no access to sunlight.
"He does not know day from night."
The prison conditions have caused severe damage to Qazzaz's spine, and he is in desperate need of an operation, she said, warning that he could be permanently disabled.
Attia said she left Egypt for Canada in April over fears she too could face arrest.

The Selma Town Council walked back its 10 percent electric rate cut from this past summer, voting to raise the rate 5 percent. The council was split 4-1 in the vote, with Councilman Tommy Holmes as the lone dissenter.
The new rate still represents a 6.5 percent reduction from what Selma power customers were paying before the Duke Energy Progress sale in August. As one of North Carolina’s 32 municipalities in the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency, Selma took the chance to lower its electric rate after Duke bought an ownership share from the agency. After the sale, Utility Financial Solutions performed a rate study on Selma, but before those results were released, the town cut its electric rate 10 percent. The study recommended revisiting the rate.
“The consultant told us that if we hadn’t already cut the rate, she would have advised us to do nothing for now,” Mayor Cheryl Oliver said of rate consultant Dawn Lund. “That would have provided Selma coverage and kept the rates stable over the next five years. Now she’s recommending small increases over that time.”
The 10 percent cut was made with a 3-2 vote, with Oliver on the losing side. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she views it as a mistake for the town.
“We did not have the data to support it,” she said. “When we’re talking about an item that’s over half the budget, and pull a number from the air, it’s dangerous.”
Following Selma’s 5 percent hike right now, the study planned for 2 percent raises each year. Oliver said maybe those will be necessary, maybe they won’t.
“Unfortunately, utility rates can become a political football,” she said.
Councilman William Overby voted to cut the rate 10 percent and also voted to raise it 5 percent. He regrets neither.
“The 10 percent cut did not put us in the position to have to raise the rates back,” Overby said. “The electric department has been making revenue the past three years. There’s $300,000 in reserve the past three years.”
Holmes, in voting against the 5 percent hike, said he was not swayed by the study.
“I’m the one who voted to cut it 10 percent and when I make a decision I stick to it,” Holmes said.
Earlier this month, the Selma Council also made an offer of $60,000 to purchase the American Legion building on Webb Street in Selma. The council was also split over this decision, voting 3-2 to make the offer. Oliver, who voted yes, sees the property as a potential civic center, used for dances, talent shows and weddings.
“It’s a great opportunity and something that citizens have expressed as a need over the years,” Oliver said.
The building was originally a gym and a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression, and while it has been used as a gym, hosted fashion shows and sometimes for storage, it has largely sat vacant, Oliver said.
Those voting for the project believe it could be secured and renovated with grant funds. Ann Williams, a consultant for the project, estimated renovations at around $250,000, Oliver said.
Holmes also voted against this project, saying citizens should have the ability to chose how the town spends its money.
“I don’t spend tax dollars unless the public knows about it,” he said. “Let’s have a public hearing. I’m not going to spend tax dollars unless the citizens have a say so.”

Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to cancel immediately the passport of alleged “drug queen” Guia Gomez Castro, who can be considered a fugitive from justice.
The former village chief of Barangay 484 Zone 48 in Manila was confirmed to have left the country last Sept. 21 on board a Cebu Pacific flight for Bangkok, Thailand.
Drilon said that under Republic Act 8239 or the Philippine Passport Act, the foreign affairs secretary is authorized to cancel a passport “in the interest of national security” or when the holder of the passport is a fugitive from justice.
“It appears that Mrs. Castro does not intend to return to the country and face the warrants of arrest issued against her since 2002 for violation of Republic Act 6425 or the Dangerous Drugs Act. Hence, she is a fugitive from justice,” Drilon said.
The former justice secretary explained that well-settled jurisprudence defines fugitive from justice as a person, who, having committed a crime, flees from jurisdiction of the court where crime was committed, departs from his usual place of abode and conceals himself and is found within territory of another.
Drilon said that based on jurisprudece, conviction is not a requirement to consider a person as a fugitive from justice, saying that filing of charges prior to flight is not always an antecedent requirement to label one a “fugitive from justice”.
“The jurisprudence clarifies that mere commission of a crime and subsequent flight thereto sufficiently meets the definition of a fugitive,” Drilon said.
“Hence, the DFA, to avoid miscarriage of justice and by virtue of the Philippine Passport Act, can validly and lawfully cancel her passport so we can restrict Castro’s movement, and summon her back to the country to face charges against her,” he said. (senate.gov.ph)

Being too adolescent to bethink the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and not yet built-in for Watergate, the accepted ‘Trump – Russia – Tax-Return’ altercation has been the a lot of advancing political altercation in my active anamnesis – and shows no assurance of slowing down. Personally, I accept the accomplished cabal surrounding Obama’s bearing affidavit – broadcast by ‘right-wing’ pundits – was destroyed way out of admeasurement – but this Russia affair has accomplished a new akin of authentic partisanship and speculation.
Democrats and others on the political ‘Left’ assume absolutely assertive that President Trump is about a artful Russian operative, accomplishing the behest of Vladimir Putin – whom he partnered up with to yield down Hillary Clinton in endure year’s Presidential Election. The capital botheration with this approach is that it absolutely lacks in any factual-based evidence. Everything I’ve heard from ‘mainstream-media ‘pundits apropos this topic, has been annihilation but authentic conjecture. A brace months ago, MSNBC ‘journalist’ and talk-show host, Rachel Maddow, anticipation she would be the one to assuredly betrayal the aboriginal section of absolute affirmation to abutment the advancing left-wing anecdotal – a archetype of President Trump’s 2005 IRS Tax-Return. After her acutely amaranthine address to accessible the show, Maddow alone appear what anybody already knew – Trump is rich. WOMP-WOMMMP…
The ‘Left’s’ a lot of contempo antecedent of aberration has been Trump’s battlefront of above FBI Director – James Comey. Their quarrel, however, isn’t with the actuality that Comey was accursed by Trump – anybody knew Trump would be battlefront at atomic a few humans while in Office – but rather with the timing and consecutive inconsistencies a part of explanations by Cabinet Officials. Supposedly, Comey was branch up an analysis into accessible allocation amid Russia and the Trump Campaign to baffle in the 2016 Election. Trump actually denies these allegations and has even declared that Comey abreast him on “three abstracted occasions” he was not the accountable of an advancing investigation. The ‘mainstream media pundits’ apriorism that Trump accursed Comey because he was accepting too abutting to proving the Left’s admirable cabal approach of bunco with Russia. Trump, however, says he accursed Comey in concert with his anew appointed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein – who was overwhelmingly accustomed by the US Senate in a vote of 94-6.
Over the endure year or so, Comey seems to accept fabricated a addiction of authoritative ambiguous statements and announcement odd behavior. Did anyone anytime absolutely anticipate Trump wasn’t traveling to blaze James Comey? The guy alone never addled me as anyone who was abundant at his job. And if did it become adequate for the arch of the FBI to say things like “lordy” and “mildly nauseous” during a Congressional Hearing? I wasn’t acquainted the FBI measures abomination in agreement of ‘nausea’. If altering the aftereffect of a autonomous acclamation makes Comey “mildly nauseous”, I’d absolutely abhorrence to apperceive what makes him ‘moderately’ or ‘extremely’ nauseous. Instead of searching to analytic answers – which there are affluence of – the ‘Left’ anon finds means to use Trump’s accomplishments to abutment their own anecdotal of Russian collusion.
So, if what Trump says is true, why wouldn’t he absolution his tax-returns to be absolutely absolved of the ‘Grand Russian Conspiracy’?
The ‘Left’ believes that aural Trump’s tax abstracts abide some abominable detail that could prove the ‘Russia Theory’ and advance to Trump’s allegation and hopeful imprisonment. Trump says he will not absolution per the admonition of his acknowledged admonition because he’s beneath analysis by the IRS. I, however, accept that even if Trump wasn’t beneath audit, it still wouldn’t serve his best interests to absolution – not yet at least. If Trump is cogent the truth, and his Tax-Returns are chargeless from any Russian connection, they could be acclimated as the ultimate political weapon adjoin the Democrats in the 2020 Election. A ‘clean’ Trump Tax-Return becomes added able by the minute. If he waited till the 2020 Election, the Democrats and ‘mainstream media’ would accept four years invested in their ‘Russia Theory’. Imagine the accident it would do to their believability – it would be about irreversible.
The akin of acrimony on affectation appear our anew adopted President is absolutely unprecedented. He has alone active the ahead declining careers of a scattering of late-night talk-show hosts and comedians. He’s the accountable of about every ‘Saturday Night Live’ absurdity and is consistently fabricated fun of and disrespected on civic television. It’s simple for them – just back-bite Trump every night and your ratings will go up. Do you absolutely anticipate this would stop if he just appear his Tax-Returns?
Most Democrats in Congress are so heavily invested in antibacterial Trump’s Presidency that he could acquaint Paul Ryan to book the next section of legislation from the DNC website and they still wouldn’t casting a ‘yes’ vote.
So, Democrats and ‘mainstream media’, amuse accumulate up the abundantly obstruction and cabal theories. In my opinion, you’re basically guaranteeing a additional appellation for President Trump.

The UK school system can be confusing for parents and teachers alike, with the many different types of schools causing confusion throughout the stages of education. Some of the hardest aspects to understand are faith and religious schools, and how they are controlled, particularly in relation to their funding. Parents can wonder how much control the government has over the school and how they spend money, as well as how this affects the curriculum.
This is, of course, important to know if you are planning on sending your child to a religious school. This article will answer all of your key questions about faith schools and funding, to help you make the right choice for your child.
Most faith schools are funded by the state, as they are not private schools. Some schools are required to pay 10% of capital costs, however this is not always the case. Costs are sometimes required to be covered by the religious authority, or by parental donations. Parents may sometimes be expected to provide donations for specific religious classes, such as those in preparation for ceremonies, or for religion specific trips and visits. They may also be asked to fundraise for capital costs as mentioned above. Private faith schools do not receive any government funding.
While this should have answered some basic questions about funding, faith schools are a complex topic, so please read on for full details of the system in the UK.
Table of Contents
What are the different types of faith schools?
There are several types of faith schools, each with a different system of funding, and different levels of control over their own curriculum and other aspects of school life.
Firstly, the term faith school is typically applied to state schools, rather than independent schools. Although both can have religious characteristics, this article will mainly explore non-private faith schools, as they are funded by the state.
Independent faith schools do not receive government funding and require parents to pay for their children to attend. This means that they are funded mostly by fees, but sometimes with contributions from their faith organisation. They are under the same criteria as all private schools, not following the national curriculum and selective entrance requirements included.
The other types of faith schools are Voluntary Aided, Voluntary Controlled, and faith academies.
Voluntary Aided schools are faith schools which are funded mostly by the government. They can appoint their own teachers and can choose to only admit pupils of their religion if oversubscribed.
VA schools typically pay 10% of capital costs, such as building maintenance, and may be requested to contribute to other areas. However, they are not required to do this and it is based on the request of the local authority, who pays all other costs from taxes.
Voluntary Controlled schools are funded entirely by the government, with a rare requirement to pay 10% of capital costs in some local authorities. This means they are entirely controlled by the local authority and cannot usually discriminate for entry based on faith.
Faith academies are typically converted VA or CV schools and are again fully state funded. Any costs which are not met by the state in any of these schools are typically fundraised from parents, although the church or religious organisation does sometimes pay them themselves.
For more information on church and faith schools, please check out this Think Student article. For more information about Voluntary Aided, Voluntary Controlled schools and academies, check out this governmental guide.
Are faith schools funded by the government?
Faith schools, as discussed above, are almost entirely funded by the state, unless they are private schools. This means that they are funded by taxes from all UK citizens, even if their children do not attend school.
Some schools are funded by the local authority, and some directly by the government. This depends on what type of school they are. However, they are all funded based on taxation, and therefore by public money.
Free schools and academies are funded directly by national government in England, and therefore have no connection to their local authority. These schools are usually part of multi-academy trusts, who control the curriculum, share teachers, and make general decisions about the running of their schools. They have more control over their day to day running than other types of school.
Voluntary Aided and Voluntary Controlled schools are funded by local government, which allows local education boards to have more say on how they run and are controlled. They are also often expected to pay more of their capital costs, even if the school is run in a building already owned by the faith group they represent. This cost is usually 10% but can vary based on the area.
If the school is expected to pay part of their capital funds, or requires more money for any reason, they may choose to fundraise from parents to raise this money. This is the same in non-faith schools, so is expected by most parents when sending their child into education. For more information, check out this governmental guide.
Are there requirements for faith schools to receive government funding?
Despite pressure from some atheist and secularisation groups, the government does provide funding and support to religious and faith schools in the UK. However, they are not completely free to do whatever they wish.
Faith and religious schools are required to teach a broad and balanced curriculum, including sex and relationship education, and religious education. However, the religious education in Voluntary Aided and faith academy schools can be fully about the religion they are part of if the school chooses this.
If the school is found to not be following these rules, funding can be withdrawn and the school can be put into special measures, as other state schools can be. This is done after an Ofsted inspection, but not without significant concerns. This can be due to inadequate teaching, unfair admissions policies, or other areas of dispute from the school.
It is important to note that not all schools that have a religious character can be designated as faith schools. This must be done when the school opens, and in the case of new free schools or academy converts, can be done during the application process.
How are faith schools funded in different UK nations?
Education in the UK is a devolved matter. This means that the different UK nations can have different ways of dealing with education and funding in schools. This can be hard to understand, but here is a quick summery of the different systems in the devolved nations other than England, which the rest of this article is focussed on.
How are faith schools funded in Scotland?
In Scotland, education was mainly controlled by the Church of Scotland until 1872, where it handed over all of its schools to the state. These are now non-denominational schools. There are also Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim schools, although these are not as widespread as in other UK nations.
These schools are also all fully state funded, with no requirement for schools to pay capital costs or running costs, unlike in other UK nations. Unless they are private, almost all schools are state comprehensive, and cannot have selective admission policies. For more information about faith schools in Scotland, check out this governmental guide.
How are faith schools funded in Wales?
All publicly supported faith schools in Wales are Christian, either Catholic or Protestant. There are also a few Muslim schools. All publicly supported schools are fully funded by the state, but they do have a few Voluntary Aided and Voluntary Controlled schools working in a similar way to English ones. For more information about faith schools in Wales, check out this governmental guide.
How are faith schools funded in Northern Ireland?
The majority of schools in Northern Ireland are either Catholic or Protestant, and are funded by the state, but controlled by their respective faith group. Catholic schools make up 46% of the children taught in NI today. These schools are generally less religiously integrated than in other nations, with Catholic schools most likely to be majority catholic and vice versa, unlike in other schools. For more information about this, check out this article by the BBC.
Do you have to pay to send your child to a faith school?
While faith schools are generally state schools, they may have some basic costs to parents similarly to other schools, and some extra costs. This is normal for the day to day running of the school but may also be more than other schools due to different types of classes or visits required to fulfil the school’s faith ethos.
For capital cost contributions in voluntary aided and voluntary controlled schools, parents may be asked to take part in fundraising drives such as bake sales, fun runs, or simply donating money to the school. This is in order for the school to fulfil the costs, especially if the church or religious authority in charge of the school does not take responsibility for these costs.
Some religion specific events and classes may also require parents to pay “voluntary costs”. These are not required, but not paying them may exclude children from these classes in some cases, as they are not part of the national curriculum and are therefore not required.
These classes may include preparation for Bar Mitzvah, or confirmation ceremonies, or any other religious event. They can also include languages, or other religion specific skills.
Some schools may also choose to run religion specific trips, such as to places of worship or for ceremonies. These often are paid for by parents as they are not compulsory but can be prohibitively expensive for some families. However, these do not happen in all schools, and most have bursaries and funding available for those that need it. For more information about voluntary aided and voluntary Controlled schools, look at this guide by Leicester City Council.

Enercon develops and produces gearless wind power turbines that set standards on the market in terms of power, reliability and lifespan. To meet its demanding requirements, Enercon chose Moeller‘s XC100-FC modular PLC (programming system CODESYS) with a fibre optic field bus interface for controlling and monitoring the aviation beacon system.
Enercon wind turbines are equipped with state-of-the-art microelectronic control technology developed in-house. The main processing unit, which is the central element of the control system, is in continuous contact with the peripheral control elements, such as the yaw control and active pitch control system. Its function is to adjust the individual system parameters to ensure the wind turbines operate at optimum yield under all weather conditions. The correct feeding of electricity from the wind turbine into the grid requires the monitoring of the grid connection. Grid parameters such as voltage, current and frequency are measured on the low-voltage side between the turbine inverter and the system transformer. All measured values are continuously transmitted to the system control, enabling the turbine to react immediately to changes in the grid voltage or frequency. As soon as the defined limit values of the system protection are exceeded, the wind turbine is safely shut down and service is informed. When the voltage and frequency return to the permissible tolerances, the wind turbine is automatically started up again, thus preventing lengthy downtimes.
The control, monitoring and possible standby supply is installed in a central control cabinet. This consequently reduces the external equipment required to a brightness sensor, the beacon lights themselves and, if necessary, a visibility meter. To keep the cabling for these components as short as possible, the control cabinet for the beacon system is housed in the nacelle. The control cabinets for beacons with a standby supply are located in an extra air-conditioned control cabinet.
The Moeller XC100-FC modular PLC with an FO fieldbus interface handles a host of different tasks. It controls and monitors both the grid supply as well as the standby supply. It is also responsible for the management of the accumulator. In addition to this, it handles the control and monitoring of the air conditioning, i.e. the heater and fan. Furthermore, the XC100-FC controls the beacon lights and records their operating hours, controls their intensity and monitors them. In addition to the beacon management system, the XC100-FC modular PLC also controls the wind park synchronisation, communicates with the brightness sensor and the visibility meter and provides detailed warning and fault indications.
Modular PLC XC-CPU101-FC
- CANopen fibre optic field bus interface (decentralised programming possible)
- Integrated real-time clock
- slot for a Multi-Media Memory Card (MMC with standard file system)
- eight digital inputs
- six short-circuit-proof outputs (four of which are designed as interrupt inputs)
- local expansion with up to 15 XIOC signal modules
- conection of up to 32 I/O points
- 30 millimetre mounting width and 100 millimetre height

I recently invested in the Witcher 3 on Xbox One and my what a game! Praise is always heaped on a lot of games during the build up to their launches and often it seems misplaced, but not in this case.
But I am not writing this solely to big up the work of CD Projeckt Red, who are the designers. Rather I am looking at how they have set a benchmark to other games studios. It is one of those games that you play where you can immediately head off the beaten track and as a result you find you have no idea which part of the story you are in or how long you've been playing it for. The game is so rich in storytelling quality that it immerses you in its lore and you want to do it all.
It has been reported that there is over 200 hours of combat alone in the game and it is the type of experience that is truly rewarding for a gamer. To put this in perspective if you don't play games too much, one of the most eagerly anticipated games of the past few months – which came from a big games studio – was that of The Order: 1887. Visually the game looked beautiful but it always seemed that the developers were hiding something in the gameplay they were showing...anyway turns out they were as the game only had around 6 hours of gameplay!
I never invested in The Order: 1887 but it was always a game that had caught my eye. But when you compare how much the game has to offer it appears insane to me that a big game developer studio is willing to release something so shallow and disappointing. What I have to say to this is up your game! Pun intended and all!! CD Projekt Red have established themselves as the lead in the Role Playing genre and it is entirely due to their dedication and love of both the Witcher franchise and fan service.
There are so many big game developers out there who lose sight of what the fans want and get too into the corporate nature of a franchise...the classic 'lets release a game a year of the same stuff and see if people keep buying it'. This type of behaviour is evident in the like of Assassins Creed which appears to have entirely lost its way and a lot of fans and for me also with the Call of Duty franchise. I used to go to the Call of Duty events with a friend who would be invited and we eagerly anticipated them but now I don't even touch the games as I much prefer something with more depth and a bit more heart and soul to it.
So to conclude I say thank you very much CD Projekt Red for a beautiful and amazing game that I can hardly manage to leave, you have raised the bar once more to other game developers and lets hope they learn something from the amount you put into a game - both in content and love.

1 . Briefly describe Moore law. What are the ramifications of this rules? Are there any functional limitations to Moore legislation?
Moore’s Rules is a speculation stating that transistor densities on a single chip double just about every two years. Moore’s law describes a long term trend in the history of processing hardware. The number of transistors that could be placed cheaply on an built-in circuit offers doubled roughly every two years. Moore’s regulation is a rule of thumb in the computer system industry about the growth of computing electrical power over time. Attributed to Gordon Elizabeth.
Moore the co-founder of Intel, it states the growth of computer power employs an empirical exponential legislation. Moore at first proposed a 12 month doubling and, later, a 24 month period. As a result of mathematical character of duplicity, this implies that within 30-50 years computers will become even more intelligent than human beings. The implications of countless digital electronics are strongly linked to Moore’s law: control speed, recollection capacity, detectors and even the amount and scale pixels in digital cameras. Most of these are improving at (roughly) exponential prices as well.
It has dramatically improved the convenience of digital electronics in nearly every portion of the world overall economy. Moore’s law precisely explains a power of scientific and sociable change in the late twentieth and early on 21st centuries. Transistors every integrated outlet.
The most popular formulation is of the doubling of the number of diffusion on bundled circuits every single two years. By the end of the 1972s, Moore’s regulation became referred to as limit pertaining to the number of diffusion on the most complex chips. Recent developments show this rate has become maintained in to 2007. Denseness at minimum cost every transistor. This can be a formulation given in Moore’s 65 paper.
It is far from just about the density of transistors that may be achieved, but about the density of transistors at which the cost every transistor is a lowest. While more transistors are put on the chip, the fee to make each transistor diminishes, but the possibility that the computer chip will not function due to a defect raises. In 1965, Moore examined the density of transistors when cost is reduced, and observed that, since transistors were made smaller through advances in photolithography, this number might increase at “a charge of around a factor of two every year”. Electrical power consumption.
The power consumption of computer nodes doubles just about every 18 months. Hard disk storage expense per device of information. The same law (sometimes called Kryder’s Law) has held for hard disk safe-keeping cost every unit info.
The rate of progression in disk storage over the past decades has in fact sped up more often than once, corresponding to the utilization of problem correcting codes, the magnetoresistive effect as well as the giant magnetoresistive effect. The existing rate of increase in hard disk capacity can be roughly just like the rate of increase in transistor count. Recent trends present that this level has been maintained into 3 years ago.
Network ability. According to Gerry/Gerald Butters, the former mind of Lucent’s Optical Marketing Group at Bell Labs, there is an additional version, referred to as Butter’s Legislation of Photonics, a formula which intentionally parallels Moore’s law. Butter’s law says that the sum of data appearing out of an optic fiber is usually doubling just about every nine weeks. Thus, the cost of transmitting a bit over an optical network decreases simply by half every single nine months.
The availability of wavelength-division multiplexing (sometimes known as “WDM”) improved the capacity that might be placed on just one fiber by as much as a factor of 100. Optical networking and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) is rapidly bringing down the cost of networking, and additional progress appears assured. Because of this, the from suppliers price of data traffic flattened in the dot-com bubble.
Nielsen’s Law says that the bandwidth available to users increases by simply 50% each year. 2 . What is a quad primary processor? What advantages will it offer users?
Quad-core cpus are laptop central processing units (CPUs) that have four separate control cores found in a single device. Intel and AMD, two popular CPU manufacturers, both equally produce quad-core processors. Quad-core processors carry several positive aspects over normal single-core cpus, though there exists skepticism concerning how much of your advantage they are for the typical computer customer. Multitasking.
Perhaps the most significant benefit of quad-core cpus is their ability to manage several applications at the same time. When you run a couple of different applications on a single-core processor, it slows down by running data calculations for a lot of programs simultaneously. With a quad-core processor, each core is responsible for a different method, so possibly running four demanding courses can be possible without encountering much wait from an absence of processing power.
Upcoming Programs. One of many frequently offered benefits of quad-core processors is they are “future proof. ” As of summer 2009, you will discover not many courses that can utilize the full benefits of a quad-core processor, nevertheless programs and games able of applying multiple cores in parallel will be designed in the future. If and when this happens, computers devoid of multiple callosite will quickly turn into obsolete whilst those with quadcore processors will probably remain beneficial until designers make courses that can make use of an even greater number of processors.
Taxing Processes. An additional area through which quad-core processors will deliver significant benefits is in processes that require computations on huge amounts of data, such as rendering 3D graphics, compressing CDs or DVDs and audio and video editing. Enterprise source planning and customer romantic relationship management applications also see a noticeable benefit with quad-core processors. Electrical power Consumption. The integrated structure of a quad-core processor uses less electrical power than in the event the four induration were split up into separate physical units.
This is very important, since the amount of electrical energy required by simply computer electrical power supplies provides risen quickly in recent years. As well, newer CPUs are beginning to work with 45nm architecture, which requires less electrical power and generate less high temperature than the bigger 60nm processor chip architecture. Critique. Until courses take full advantage of multiple cores, there will not be a significant difference in performance between quad-core and dual-core cpus, and perhaps also quad-core and single-core processors.
Considering the rapid progress of computer technology, there may be processors with eight, 10 or more induration by the time courses are developed that correctly utilize parallel processing of many cores. several. What would be an advantage for a university laptop lab to setup thin customers rather than common desktop laptop or computer? Can you discover any disadvantages? A thin customer is a great aesthetically slim PC utilized as a great access stage for server-based computing.
It has fewer parts and requires fewer components to run; hence, it has numerous cost efficiency rewards. Although skinny client rewards are remarkable, we must as well look into their disadvantages. Thin client computing fits a whole lot of work environments.
Since slim clients do not need to be in precisely the same place as their server, the setup presents thin customer benefits which might be mostly useful. Clients can be taken in to the harshest of places like dusty wilderness camps and can be deployed possibly after the event of a normal disaster. Slim clients are perfect for conditions where space is a big problem.
A thin consumer has an natural space-conserving feature since they are available in one piece with only the monitor showing while the product is hidden behind it. Incidents where mount upon walls with only the peripherals and the keep an eye on exposed. Even work locations with very little budget area to run air conditioning systems should be expected to gain with thin customer benefits inside their facilities.
The absence of powerful or going parts to serve one’s computing purpose entails less generation of heat. This is for the reason that thin clientele make use of sound state devices like expensive drives rather than hard drives. Nevertheless , as best as a machine based computing may every seem, you will find notable cons which matter costs and gratification abilities. Under is a rundown of advantages and disadvantages you should consider ahead of deciding to work with thin client computing within your university computer system lab.
Advantages of Thin Computer: Lower Operational Costs- Your workplace environment where several work stations are involved can access an individual server device, thereby minimizing the detailed costs masking these related actions: * Setting up the device takes lower than ten mins to accomplish. * The lifespan of skinny clients is very long as there are simply no moving parts inside every single unit. The sole parts that require constant replacements are the peripherals which are external to the device. This brings cost productivity in the maintenance aspect which means when anything breaks around the client’s end, it can be as easy as taking a part to replace the broken a single.
Even usage is substantially unnoticeable. * Energy efficiency- A thin client unit is said to consume 20W to 40W as opposed to the regular thick COMPUTER where power consumption during operation mode consumes 60W to 110W. In addition , thin clients themselves need little to no air conditioning whatsoever, which literally means less functioning costs. Whatever air conditioning necessary is demanded and offered at the storage space area. 5. Work efficiency- The thin client work place can be far reaching and extensive; it can give quick access to remotely located workers, as well operating on server-based computing.
Superior Protection – As users will only have access to the server simply by network connections, security actions like diverse access levels for different users can be implemented. This way, users with reduced access levels will not be in a position to see, understand, or in worst case scenarios, compromise into the confidential files and applications of the whole organization considering they are all properly secured at the server’s end. Also, it is a way of obtaining the data in the case of natural problems. The computers will be the just machines that want to survive the disaster as the storage space is the main site of all the preserved data. Right after the catastrophe, new clients may be easily connected to the hardware as long as the server can be intact.
Reduced Malware Illness Risks – There is a very slim probability of getting spyware and adware on the server from a skinny client. Your customer inputs towards the server is only going to be coming from the keyboard, mouse button actions, and screen photos. Thin customers get their application or courses from the server itself.
The software program updates and virus deciphering applications and also patches will probably be implemented simply on the server. At the same time, the servers is definitely the one to method information and store the data afterwards. Highly Reliable –Business organizations can anticipate continuous support for longer stays since slim clients can have a lifespan of more than five years. In just as much as thin customers are built because solid condition devices, there is certainly less impact from damage through frequent use. Disadvantages of Slender Computing: Customer Organizations happen to be Subject to Limitations – Because the thin consumers do the majority of their digesting at the machine, there will be setups where wealthy media gain access to will be impaired.
Some of these concerns are the consequence of poor functionality when simultaneous access to media on the slim client can be taking place. Large and resource-hungry applications just like Flash animated graphics and video streaming can slow the performance of both the hardware and consumer. In corporate organizations wherever video conferencing and webinars are often carried out, business presentation of materials and web-cam/video communications could be adversely afflicted.
Requires Remarkable Network Interconnection – Using a network which has latency or perhaps network lag issues may greatly influence thin consumers. It can even mean making the slender clients unusable because the processing will not be fluently transmitted from the server towards the client. Can make the skinny client very hard to use in these types of cases considering that the response from your server will affect the two visual as well as the processing functionality of the thin client. Actually printing responsibilities have been discovered to hog bandwidth in certain thin customer set-ups, which will affect the operate going on consist of units.
A skinny Client Work place is Expense Intensive – For any plans of transforming a regular job station to a thin customer work environment, it is advised that comparative expense analysis become performed. Thin client set-ups have been noted to be inexpensive only if employed on a considerable basis. A comparison of regular work stations using the same number of regular PC devices should be made versus a work environment set-up that makes usage of a dedicated machine and the same number of thin clients. Occasionally the cost of setting up the machine itself is already far more pricey than all of the regular workstations combined. This can be aside from the reality a thin client unit could cost as much as a fully-equipped COMPUTER.
Nevertheless, some argue that the key benefits of thin consumers, as far as cost and protection efficiency are concerned, will balance the initial costs. Besides, as a capitalized expense, the costs can be spread out for at least five years. Still, the excessiveness from the fees concerning different permits, which include computer software for every place, Client Get Licenses (CAL) for clientele and server, as well as monitoring and taking care of licenses, can tie up a large amount of business money and may consider too long to recuperate.
Thus, smaller business organizations are advised to carefully consider such costs before venturing into server-based or slender client processing. Single Point of Failing Affects Almost all – In case the server goes down, every thin client linked to it becomes barely usable. Regardless of many clients happen to be connected, in case the server becomes inaccessible, almost all work processes will come into a standstill thus adversely affecting business-hour production.

I am sadly updating you that we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Teddy yesterday. Known to SCGRR as “Tedalini”, we adopted him & his brother Buddy (“Budders”) from you April 2020. Teddy was such a happy, sweet, fun, & special boy. We loved him very much & he brought us so much joy in a short amount of time. He was a wonderful dog in so many ways. We are heartbroken & will miss him. His medical needs were extensive, but we are so glad we had the ability to care for him properly & give him the best home & life at the end. He will be forever loved in our hearts.
We may take a short break after losing several loved dogs in a short time, just to let our hearts recover a little & to travel. But after that, we will be back with you looking for our next Golden to love.
Below are a few of my favorite photos of Teddy, I have so many, it’s hard to pick. And lastly, a few photos of the two very bonded brothers. “The boys”. Because wherever dogs go when they must leave us, I think it’s a wonderful, beautiful, & happy place, & Teddy’s brother was there waiting for him.
Breezy & Mark
