The retail sector is increasingly difficult and volatile. Enterprises must adopt easily available technology to liberate themselves from the daily grind and better focus on achieving their core business objectives. To be cost-effective in doing this, retailers turn to Google Cloud Platform, the most affordable, reliable, innovative and intuitive cloud platform in the world, to drive operational agility and optimization of application performance.
As the first managed services partner for Google Cloud Platform, and Google Cloud’s 2018 Global Migration Partner of the Year, Rackspace is helping retailers everywhere to accelerate innovation and cost savings, by taking over their intensive, day-to-day operations of the cloud.
This e-book looks at how different retail brands work with Rackspace to ensure smooth and easy migration and operation on Google Cloud, as well as to gain added value from Rackspace’s depth of knowledge and best practices to effectively tap Google Cloud Platform too
"Cloud first" mandates accelerate cloud adoption within an enterprise and across enterprises looking at what their peers are doing.
As enterprises work to balance innovation with efficiency—and increasingly adopt cloud-first strategies—agility is key. In this IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Red Hat, learn 4 key capabilities supporting cloud adoption and agile integration approaches that offer faster, more flexible workflows.
IDC recommends 4 critical technology cornerstones:
- Modular development: Microservices
- Deployment portability: Containers
- Standardization of service interfaces: APIs and API management

Organizations face onboarding risks of BYOS (Bring Your Own Service) as they hire new employees that bring their own cloud services into the work environment. Risks facing IT and security teams include protecting corporate data and defending against modern threats. While IT and Security teams want to adopt modern cloud applications and increase business agility, they also want to implement visibility and monitoring to protect corporate data and comply to security policies. This session will highlight how new methodologies available today enable organizations to discover sanctioned and un-sanctioned cloud services that are being used within their organization, and how they can apply consistent security policies across the public and private cloud to protect corporate data and conform to compliance policies.
Today, applications facilitate commerce on a global scale. They play a key role in delivering products and services to customers, a role that directly affects the success of the business. Companies that rapidly deploy, update, and manage business applications have a competitive advantage.
To maintain this fast pace, many organizations have adopted a hybrid cloud—a combination of private and public clouds—to become more agile.
But true agility isn’t easy
Organizations that automate their highly-virtualized infrastructure environments discover that they are able to introduce new forms of self-service and on-demand IT delivery models. As a result, they’re far better positioned to compete in a world where the quality and performance of applications increasingly dictates success and failure.
On the journey to agility, the ultimate destination remains infrastructure defined by software and operating in a way that’s both application-aware and self-healing. For enterprises competing in the digital economy, deploying a CMP to manage increasingly complex infrastructure has become an indispensable part of that journey.

Leading technology conglomerate had to renew the current data center agreement, also it was no longer strategic to maintain their own hardware. LTI partnered with Oracle and helped in designing and executing the migration plan that would ensure Zero business disruption without stringent timeline. LTI leveraged a toolkit built by its in-house, dedicated Oracle Innovation and Solution Center (OISC) to help ensure an error-free migration. Download complete case study.
Cloud computing and all-flash storage are two of the most important innovations driving next-generation IT initiatives. While it may seem at first that these are parallel trends, in reality they are inextricably intertwined. Without the benefits of all-flash storage —driving new levels of performance, agility and management simplicity — enterprises would not be able to modernize their infrastructures to deliver cloud services. It is no coincidence that the largest hyperscale cloud providers rely on all-flash storage solutions as their storage foundation.
Pure Storage all-flash storage arrays provide enterprise customers with a safe, secure and smooth path to the all-flash cloud. You can take the journey in stages, starting small with a single application or two, and then adding more applications through consolidation and virtualization. You can also implement multiple stages at once.
Businesses increasingly see cloud as the best route to enhanced agility and digital transformation. But this survey reveals that keeping the lid on cloud costs is far from straightforward.
Read this report to discover:
• whether businesses are realising the benefits they anticipated from cloud migration
• how effective companies are at managing cloud investments
• the risks and consequences of getting locked into inefficient architectures.

Understanding, managing and containing risk has become a critical factor for many organizations as they plot their hybrid architecture strategy. Access by an expanding array of privileged identities looms large as a risk concern once organizations look beyond tactically using cloud services for cost and agility efficiencies. Existing approaches developed for static infrastructure can address initial risk concerns, but fall short in providing consistent policy enforcement and continuous visibility for dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
Enterprise customers can take advantage of the many benefits provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to achieve business agility, cost savings, and high availability by running their SAP environments on the AWS Cloud.
Many Enterprise customers run SAP production workloads on AWS today; including those that run on NON-SAP DBs (Oracle, MS SQL, DB2) or on SAP DBs (SAP HANA, SAP ASE). To support the demand of high memory instances, AWS have disclosed their SAP HANA instance roadmap (8TB and 16TB in 2018) and just made 4TB x1e instances available. A few examples of how AWS helped SAP customers cut costs, improve performance and agility include BP reducing 1/3 of their SAP infrastructure cost, Zappos successfully migrating to SAP HANA on AWS in less than 48 hours and enabling a major Healthcare and Life Science company to run BW on HANA with 30% better performance vs. on premise.
This guide is intended for SAP customers and partners who want to learn about the benefits and options for running SAP solutions on AWS, or who want to know how to implement and operate their SAP environment effectively on AWS.
As the information technology (IT) industry enters the cloud era, where hybrid IT is the dominant deployment model in organizations of all sizes, the capabilities of primary all-flash arrays (AFAs) will need to evolve to handle cloud scale and agility

I've heard much the same, that it's good. Almost watched it with the kids the other day, but then realized it was TV-MA, so figured I'd better watch it myself first.

I seldom eat beef anymore and I consider the indulgence to be a real treat. I do, however, always cook beef on Valentine’s Day. It’s a long standing tradition because most of the men I know and love are beef eaters. Too often I just throw steaks on the grill. It’s easy and they are good on the grill, but here are three recipes, all using Filet Mignon, that have amazing flavors and are easy to make.
I got this recipe for Steak Diane from the Tulsa Tribune years ago. Even the simplest of recipes can turn out some of your very best meals. I give this recipe really high marks on how easy it is to make. Yes, this is an all time favorite and a classic I have been making for over 25 years. THIS SAUCE HAS SO MUCH FLAVOR I swear you’ll want to make it again next weekend.
4 fillet mignon steaks, about 6 ounces each’
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp chopped shallots
2 Tbsp cognac
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1 Tsp imported mustard
½ Tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tsp beef broth
Pound the steak to about 1/2 ” thickness.
Sprinkle meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. When very hot, add two steaks. Cook one and one half minutes on one side and turn, Cook 30 seconds on the other.
Transfer the steaks to a hot serving dish. Add the other two steaks and cook. Transfer to the serving dish.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add shallots. Cook about 10 seconds.
Add parsley, mustard and Worcestershire then add the broth and stir.
Swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter.
Add cognac and stir. Then light with a match and let burn out.
Pampered Beef Filets. My Ex-husband had a talent for finding recipes that were simple, easy to make and delicious.

2 tablespoons of butter
6 filet mignons
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Heat the butter. Quickly brown steaks on both sides over moderate high heat.
Place filets on squares of heavy foil on a baking tray.
Spoon 2 Tbsp Royal Mushroom sauce over each filet.

Brings the corners of the foil up over the steak and gently twist, leaving the top slightly open.
Complete the cooking in a very hot oven – 500 degrees – 12 minutes for rare, 15 minutes for medium and 18 minutes for well done. Makes 6 servings.
Royal Mushroom Sauce
Add ½ cup chopped fresh mushroom stems and ¼ cup chopped green onions to fat remaining in skillet after filets have browned. Cook until tender, but not brown. Blend in 4 teaspoons of cornstarch with ½ cup cold water. Add to skillet 1 cup of burgundy, 2 tablespoons snipped parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Makes 1 ½ cups. At time of serving, you can pass the remaining sauce.
The Beef Wellington recipe is from one of the holiday magazines issued by Cooking Light. It’s a little bit more work but the end result is worth it. This is a perfect elegant recipe to make when you have special company.
½ pound mushrooms, finely chopped
Butter flavored cooking spray
¼ cups shallots
1 ½ garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp flour
½ tsp dried marjoram
1 can beef consommé, divided
2 Tbsp parsley

Gradually add ¼ cup consommé, stir well. Cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Stir constantly (mixture will be thick). Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium high heat until hot. Add steaks and cook 1 /12 minutes on each side until brown. Drain on paper towels. Place steaks in pan. Drizzle each steak with Worcestershire. Top each steak with mushroom mixture.
Layer sheets of phyllo dough, spraying each with cooking spray. Cut into 6 ½ x 4 ½ inch rectangles. Thinly slice excess for topping. Drape double layer of phyllo over each steak, tucking under the edges. Crumple the thinly sliced phyllo strips into a ball and place one on top of each phyllo-wrapped steak. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Combine remaining consommé, wine, sherry and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir well. Bring to a boil and stir constantly until thick, Serve with the steak.

The Senate Ad-Hoc Committee on Investigation of Local Content Elements and Huge Cost variations of the over $16 billion Egina Deep-sea oil project is to commence full investigative hearing on Tuesday with the appearance of major stakeholders in the execution of the almost completed offshore oil project.
Coincidentally the Senate investigation is starting on the same day the Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) vessel component of the project constructed over the years by Samsung Heavy Industry (SHI) at Samsung Yard, GOJE, South Korea will arrived Nigeria on the same day the investigation is commencing having set sail on October 30, 2017. The FPSO on arrival will be integrated to locally fabricated and procured components before it set sail back to deep seas to work on the Egina oil field located at Oil Mining Lease (OML) 130.
The investigative hearing followed the resolution of the Senate on December 4, 2017 to ascertain possible breaches on the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGID) Act 2010 after the project cost being undertaken by Total Upstream Nigeria Limited and initially valued at $6 billion was varied twice to $13 billion and $16.3billion.
Chief Executives of stakeholders already invited for the 5-days investigative hearing includes those of NNPC, NAPIMS, Nigerian Content Monitoring Development Board (NCMDB), Total Upstream Nigeria Limited, SAIPEM Contracting Nigeria Ltd and Samsung Heavy Industry (SHI) among others.
At a pre-hearing meeting of the Senate Ad-Hoc Committee, its chairman Senator Solomon Adeola (APC, Lagos West) had told members of the committee that submissions received so far indicates that the total cost of the almost completed deep-sea oil project expected to produce 200,000 barrels per day may far exceed the varied $16 billion adding that it will be very productive for CEOs of stakeholder organisations who knows the details of these transactions to personally appear as Nigerians want to know the benefits or otherwise of this project costing Nigeria billions of dollars.

Holden Sabor is hoping things can turn for the better for him at the same place where they began to unravel on him.
Sabor is coming back from suffering torn ligaments in his right ankle during a Show-Me Collegiate League game a year ago. He’s back in the Show-Me League this summer while playing for the Route 66 Stars.
His injury occurred while simply trying to beat out a ground ball for a base hit.
“As soon as I hit the bag (at first base) with my right foot, it turned over and tore all my ligaments,” Sabor said. "I got surgery three days later and have been on the road to recovery ever since.
"I couldn't walk until halfway through the fall semester (last school year)," he added. "I've basically had to build up the muscles in my leg to be able to play again.”
With his injury happening while doing something he’s done countless times over the years, Sabor admits he’s dealt with a bit of anxiety while running the bases.
“The hardest part has been the mental block,” he said. “I wear an ankle brace. But it's always in the back of my mind. Game by game, you push it a little harder and you get past those mental blocks. At some point, it will be out of my head.”
Sabor, who was an All-COC and All-State shortstop for Ozark his senior year, has received all the confirmation he needed that he’s made the right decision to play again.
“It's been great to be out here and prove that I can still play, field and move around like I used to be able to,” he said. “I couldn't go without baseball. Being on the baseball field is a feeling in itself. I love the feeling and am glad to be back out here. As long as I'm on the field, I'm happy.”
Sabor’s only playing time at State Fair came during fall ball his freshman year. But, he values his experiences with the Roadrunners.
“I had great dudes in front of me in Brandon Stahlman and Brayden McGinnis,” he said. “Those guys are great players. I got to learn a lot from them about work ethic.”
Sabor is hoping the Show-Me League can help him catch a college coach's eye as he looks for a place to resume his college career.
The 2021 Ozark grad has four years of eligibility remaining, after red-shirting his freshman year at State Fair and leaving the Roadrunners at the end of the fall semester last school year.
“I'm getting my feet under me and exploring my options,” he said. “I'm anxious to see what the next month holds for me.”

Skype: prefer not to give out to public unless you are interested in me
Mid champions owned: Ahri, Kassadin, Morgana, Katarina, Malzahar, Twisted Fate(<--not too skilled with him however), Vladimir, Zyra and Akali (<--only for countering).
Top 3 APC's: Kassadin, Katarina, Malzahar.
I have been playing mid lane for a long time now. I am a capable player who knows how to adapt to different situations. I would like to join the team to be able to compete with the same players for a long time to learn to play together and fix mistakes made for future games. I am almost always aware of whats going on in all lanes which allows for effective roaming and preventing death (whether me or a teammate). Though you may note that my number of won games is fairly low, I would like to ask you to give me just one chance to see how I compete as an APC.

The prospect of the end of the Joe Hill Coffeehouse is not good news for Rossland, but it is a very real possibility given that there is still no one to fill the boots of the current organizer Michael Gifford.
Gifford has been the force behind the monthly talent showcases since they began four years ago, but announced his intention to retire from the voluntary gig late least year. Since then, no one has stepped up to take the reins, and with only three more shows planned, in March, April and May, it may be the last of the coffeehouses.
Gifford hopes that there will still be a person or group who will take on the responsibilities of setting the show up.
The retired music teacher said he has enjoyed his time as organizer.
“It’s been fantastic, beyond my wildest dreams,” he said. “I took it upon myself to do it and got the volunteers to help and the whole idea, the principal of the thing, is to give people a place to perform.”
He said in that respect it worked, with some astonishing talent coming through the doors to play.
The problem he has is that there is always another show on the horizon.
“So I had to draw a line, and that line was that this is my fourth and last year,” he said, adding that he couldn’t be around for the planned June show, so May would be the last show. The coffeehouse takes a break usually for July and August.
“Representatives form the Rossland Radio Co-op met with me and said that they’d take it over,” he said, but added that they later changed their minds due to various reasons. “So I was back to square one.”
Gifford said he always thought it would run more smoothly with a group of people rather than a single person.
“That’s the weak link in the whole chain in all these things that happen, one person is overworked,” he said. “I’ve done it, but I’m so passionate about music so I’ve been able to push on.”
So he hopes that a group of people will come forward to continue the shows. He said what he does is simply receiving emails, phone calls, printing out the show sequence and organizing volunteers.
“It’s just contacting,” he said. “You don’t have to be a musician or booking agent or a manager, you don’t have to be good in math, you just have to stay at it.”
This month’s show is on March 18. Here is the line up:
Michael Gifford – tropical ukulele; Laela, a 15 yr. old song writer/singer/guitarist; Kerry Kean – songs and poetry; Les Carter – fingerpicking your favorites; Stew & Newt – keyboard & guitar rock/pop; Motes & Oats – great original songs with harmonies, guitar, ukulele, flute; Janet Marshall’s Irish Party – Janet & friends; The Vaughans – Cranbrook rock family-style!
Show starts at 7 p.m.

corporate identity and web site design. Adriana Castaneda has developed skills as a graphic artist in two directions
which complement each other.
On one hand, she uses all sorts of technical knowledge to create proyects such as flash technology to create websites and to develope web site applications,
on the other hand she develops her abilities as a graphic artist creating images for the internet and for print.
working with watercolors as an art technique to create
beautiful landscapes and images
which can be later used as a base for designing greeting cards,
calendars, web sites, logos, posters, fliers, book covers, advertisment, etc.
Her work has a strong influence from the colors of Mexico, the Basel School of Design in Switzerland and the passion of Jerusalem, Israel
The combination of art work, web and graphic design, enriches the work of the artist.
In our times, people search for a designer that knows photosoph,
flash, programing, etc. but this are not the main skills in design.

The absence of Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta in Parliament Tuesday November 29, 2022 nearly caused the postponement of the debate on the 2023 budget.
Minority MPs through their deputy whip, Ibrahim Ahmed prayed the Speaker to freeze the debate questioning the whereabouts of the minister.
In a rebuttal, the Majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu however argued that there is no law that compels the minister to be present during the debate on his budget.
Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu also refuted the assertions of the Suame MP.
He nonetheless explained the minister sought permission to travel to Germany on an urgent assignment.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin underscored the importance of presence of finance ministers during debates.
The debate proper started with Minister of state in charge of State Owned Enterprises, Joseph Cudjoe who argued contents of the budget are aimed at resuscitating the country’s economy.
Ranking member for the committee on finance Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on his part accused government of shifting burden onto the citizens contrary to its mantra of burden sharing.
According to the former deputy finance minister not only is the mismanagement of the economy by the Nana Addo administration collapsing businesses, marriages are collapsing too.
Mr. Forson disclosed the minority will oppose some tax measures in the budget.
Deputy Finance Minister, Abena Osei Asare refuted the claims of Ato Forson.
She warned any delay in approving the budget will be catastrophic for Ghana’s economy.
Ranking member for committee on energy John Jinapor painted a gloomy picture of the economy predicting tougher times for Ghanaians going into next year.
He asked the majority MPs to support the censure motion against Ken Ofori-Atta.
Deputy finance minister John Kumah walked back his assertions on debts restructuring moves arguing no definite decision has been made yet relative any haircut.
Bolgatanga Central MP Isaac Adongo argued seeing the back of Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is not enough.
According to him, the minister must be followed by the Bank of Ghana Governor and Vice President Bawumia’s lead economic management team.

Whether you are buying your first home or moving on to a new home, these tips will provide answers to your questions and help guide your through the mortgage process. When you are ready to get started, our mortgage lenders will use their knowledge and mortgage experience to guide you through the entire process.
|Pre‐Approval||Getting pre‐approved for a mortgage is one of the most important steps in the process. A pre‐approval will help determine what you can realistically afford. A Johnson Bank pre‐approval is a conditional approval of your credit documentation. So, when you are ready to make an offer on a home the seller knows your offer is solid. For a pre‐approval you will need to provide these documents:
|Credit Score||As part of the home buying process, your lender will request a credit report. The report will include your credit score. Your lender will look at the score to determine how likely it is that you will make prompt payments. It is also the primary driver for determining the interest rate you will pay on your mortgage loan. The higher your credit score the lower your interest rate may be. In addition, you will want to review your credit report, check for errors and fix them.|
|Down Payment||Saving for a down payment will allow you to start out with more equity, own your home faster and qualify for lower interest rates. It is very important to save as much as possible for your down payment. Typically, down payments range from as low as 3% to a standard of 20% of the sale price. Keep in mind, if your down payment is less than 20%, you may need Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Johnson Bank offers several low down payment options for qualified individuals to choose from.|
|Debt||The less debt you have before purchasing a home, the better. Lenders will review your debt‐to‐income ratio to measure your ability to manage your monthly payments. Debt will include any of your credit cards, student loans, auto loans and the new mortgage loan. As you lower your monthly debt, your credit score may rise.|
|Monthly Expenses||Generally, mortgage payments will include principal, interest, insurance and property taxes. Your insurance and property taxes are deposited into an escrow account that is set up for to make tax and insurance payments on behalf of the homeowner. It is a good idea to create a budget with your new mortgage payment. You will want to try it out for a few months before you buy your home. This way you can bank the difference, see what paying a mortgage will be like, and save some extra cash too!|
Interest rate, Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and payment information shown are for illustration purposes only and are not a rate quote. The actual interest rate, fees and APR available to you will be based on your credit history and specific loan details. For a rate quote, please contact a Johnson Bank Mortgage Lender.

Good evening ladies and gentleman.
Recently i have found myself wandering about the feeling of passion. Its one of the few beautifully pure things left in our modern lifestyles but what do we do to promote this feeling of wander? I got to thinking about materialism, love, sex, food, wine, travel, cars- everything. How to someone, somewhere, these object is a part of a lifestyle that at its heart is a feeling of pure, unadulterated joy.
These moments are important because the development of these passions is a fundamental step to figuring out who you are.
Yet, knowing how important these moments are, i sit in those lower moments questioning the very notion of something so supposedly frivolous like building a car, or just owning something i like or getting to go somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. I feel guilty for wanting to do something so “meaningless” for we as a nation have become obsessed with persistent and profoundly large steps in this need to progress.
Yet doing something just because i enjoy it, or because it makes me feel good, often seems like I’m wasting my time.
What if that comes back to the need to progress, to advance to the upper levels, to constantly and continuously moving in bigger and bigger jumps every time. It feels to me that society is trying to force us all to be born in their image, to like what the world tells us to like, to enjoy something we are told to enjoy. That way we can be kept under control and given just enough freedom to remain under the illusion we are free.
Is it really that black and white though? For freedom, is a state of mind. We see people on tv shows and inspirational people across the vast sphere of the internet making changes in their life and that positive effect is rippling around to millions of people across the world- one of them being you. Naturally you start to think- “maybe i could change the world too,” and for a moment- you feel inspired.
Then as time passes, even minutes after the initial inspiration you start to feel different, more worn down, for whatever you felt, has passed. Without realising, you carry on the same as before, sure that whatever far flung idea you had “would have never worked anyway.”
I have been there many times and i am only able to offer this alternative. What if you, what if i, what if nobody in fact was ever going to change the world? What if me, you and so many others have been living under the illusion this was even possible? More than that- what if we weren’t even supposed to?
What if, individually, we were to work to charge OUR world. I would work my world in my way, you would work yours in your way and as a collective, through genuine innovation and often in the smallest of steps, we would change the world, by simply working to bring about evolution in your world, thus facilitating a revolution.
So whatever your passions are, why not pursue them? It doesn’t matter how the world perceives what you enjoy, or what you love. If you wake up everyday looking to spend your time writing poetry or painting a beautiful masterpiece in the morning as you wander down to your garage to work on your project car in the afternoon- then why not?
It doesn’t matter what your artwork is and it certainly doesn’t matter what value it can add to the world- for it is yours and yours alone. It’s something deeply personal, the working on things that instils a fire in your soul, the personal touch on existing that makes your heart beat just a little bit faster and makes you want to reach just a little bit further. This is where we find passion. Its sensations and feelings of this nature that are the components of true happiness.
Nobody and nothing should be able to take that away from you.
No amount of guilt is going to change this, for it’s the difference between existing and truly living. The world will always think something, it may evolve but the fundamentals stay the same and not everyone is going to agree. You will disagree with some and others will disagree with you, it’s nothing to shy away from and certainly nothing to feel guilty about.
For apart, we will simply be left asking that age old question- “What if I had done things differently?” “what if i had pursued that? what if i had just listened to myself rather than what the world told me to do, then maybe I would have been happy”
But together, understanding and accepting that while our differences may divide us, the way they make us feel will always bring us together.
Puts me in mind of a verse from an old Frank Turner song….
“We’re not trying to shape the world
So people think like us
We just want our own space to dance man
No favours, no fuss”
Passions guilt is a just another obstacle to overcome, for then innovation and happiness will be a force for good in all of our lives.
Yours, with love as always

Editor’s Note: This is the second of a three-part series featuring a discussion with famed Democratic strategist and former Chair of the Democratic National Committee Donna Brazile on Liberty Nation Radio. In the first part, Ms. Brazile discussed how the disastrous Clinton for President campaign was obsessed with data at the expense of traditional methods of motivating voters.
The task facing Donna Brazile when she was named Chair of the Democratic National Committee would have been daunting enough with the scandals that had surrounded her disgraced predecessor Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the fact that the data-driven, heartless Clinton campaign had seized control of the DNC with a watershed election fast approaching, leaving Brazile to sit helplessly by and watch her party’s nominee snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
But the task evolved from daunting to frightening when she realized the DNC she now headed was being hacked on a daily, sometimes hourly basis because Wasserman-Schultz had refused to take cybersecurity seriously despite repeated warnings from no less than the FBI.
In an exclusive interview on Liberty Nation Radio, Brazile describes feeling scared and violated with the hacking onslaught, especially after the still-unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich. It is noteworthy that, while she ascribes these cyber attacks to Russia, she is silent on whether the Trump campaign was involved and whether there was “collusion.”
But first, she attempted to dismiss the notion that her tell-all book, Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House, was designed to push the Clintons off the stage:
Tim Donner: Donna, a lot of people, myself among them, honestly think that the ultimate purpose of your book outside of setting the record straight and telling your own story, is to convince the party that it’s time to once and for all move beyond the Clintons. Was that the message of your book?
Donna Brazile: No, I don’t think my message was about elimination or subtraction. My book was really about the hacking of our democracy. And it was my story because I was Chair of the party. I became Chair for the second time in my adult life because of the hacking. And it’s the inside story of the break-ins and breakdowns that put Donald Trump in the White House. And I wanted the American people to come away understanding that the hacking of our election is reason for us to come together as a country to avoid this from happening again. This time there was a severe attempt to hack into our election process. What if someone, another country, tried to hack into our infrastructure, our electrical grid? Hacking is important. Cybersecurity is something that concerns not just major corporations but it concerns universities, academia, and the media.
So I also believe that part of my story is to talk about the hacking. Clearly, the Democratic Party has a large bench of people who will possibly run in 2020. I don’t know all of the candidates but I’m sure that there are so many people out there who will continue to support Secretary Clinton. She has a lifelong service inside the Democratic Party and I would hope that whatever her future is that those who support and those who may never support her will understand that she is a woman of valor, a woman of courage and she has served our great nation.
Tim Donner: But let me come at the same question from a different direction. Should Hillary still be out there on the stage as she is or should she leave the stage and allow other Democrat voices to carry the fight against President Trump and the Republicans?DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered during the 2016 presidential campaign
Donna Brazile: Well the stage is large and as you well know, we need many voices out on the stage. And it’s not just a stage that we need to talk about President Trump. As I mention to people all over the country, I pray for our President. He’s our President. We have one President at a time and as long as I have breath in my body, I will always pray for the President of the United States regardless of whether or not I supported him or her in the future. Saying that we as Americans need to understand we need more people to run for office. We need more public servants. Today as we speak, there are so many news stories now about sexual harassment. We need more people to run for office and hopefully, in the future, we’ll see more women run for office. We’ll see more people of color. I don’t know if you intend to run for office again. You’ve run once for the United States Senate but you know what? We need more voices out there.
Tim Donner: Well I mean I appreciate your words and I think that it’s really true. I wanted to just return to something you talk a lot in the book – the personal anguish of being hacked day after day after day and not knowing where the next attack was to come from. It was really a heartbreaking personal tale no matter what your political affiliation is.
Donna Brazile: It’s a form of harassment. It’s people prying into your life as if they know you when they don’t know you. What they know is some aspects of your life but not the entire picture. But because they have your identity, they’ve stolen your identity. They’ve stolen your emails. They possess stuff that should not be in the public domain. They prey upon you in ways that feels as though they’re going to come after you. And from time to time, I didn’t have a good sense. Remember one of our staff members was murdered and there was a lot of concern that our own personal safety was something that we had to pay attention to. And I took careful steps, not just in my personal life but also as Party Chair to protect the staffers and the infrastructure of the Democratic National Committee.
And you know, every time we were hacked, we knew that the Russians were still coming after us. I picked up the phone and I called or texted over to the RNC. I felt that as an American, it was my duty. I was no longer a partisan. I felt it was my duty to not just alert federal officials which we did, but it was also my duty to alert the Republican National Committee because here in America, if you destroy one political party, you believe you’re left with another. But if you destroy both political parties then what do we have in our democracy?
I mean, so I was quite concerned and I would hope as we focus on 2018 that we take this seriously and that we begin to try to prevent it. What if it’s North Korea next time? What if it’s Iran? What if it’s another nation that is trying to destroy our democracy? Our founders, those men and of course so many women who were in the shadows, they would want us to protect our democracy, to protect our freedom and we have to focus on that. That is the goal of my book as well.
In the final part of this series tomorrow, Donna Brazile discusses the future of the beleaguered Democratic party, and how they can regain their mojo.

How Automotive ECU Consolidation is Powering the Multi-Display Infotainment System in Cars
While talking about the industries that have shown exceptional growth and fast-paced innovation, automotive industry definitely deserves a loud mention.
Not more than a decade ago, we never expected our cars to be a powerhouse of connectivity.
Thanks to the advancements in sensor technologies, robust in-vehicle networking, and smart automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), we are witnessing a new era of connected systems.
Information related to driver assistance, navigation, instrument cluster and access to phone calls/messaging are being delivered seamlessly to the driver.
All this data is delivered via different sources like CAN in-vehicle network, connected Sensors or through IP/GPS/Cloud connectivity
The need to display such critical data, provide ease of access and mitigate driver distraction led to the introduction of multi-display infotainment display. This is one system among the car’s components that has evolved very rapidly.
Let’s have a look at the story of evolution of Automotive Infotainment solutions over the years
Image: Evolution of Car Infotainment system
It all started with a modest FM radio on the dashboard and now the modern in-vehicle infotainment system is evolving into a seamless multi-display system.
Source: Carz2web and Lincoln/Continental
Introducing “Multi-display Infotainment Systems” for Cars!
The evolution of infotainment system in cars has now reached a point where one display does not suffice. The multi-display infotainment system has become the need of the hour.
Glimpse of the modern day vehicle cockpit
Most traditional infotainment consoles have been positioned at the center of the dashboard. Displaying information on this console needs constant attention of the driver away from the on-road viewing area. This has raised a concern regarding driver distraction.
- In order to mitigate this, car head-up display has been introduced. Car Heads-up Display (HUD) sits just in front of the driver on the dashboard within the on-road viewing area.
- Instrument Cluster can also be considered as one more display which helps driver to access critical vehicle data via CAN in-vehicle network.
Traditionally all these display systems (Infotainment, Head-Up Display, Instrument Cluster) work in silos. They are powered by separate Automotive Control Units (aka ECU), have independently designed UI/UX, fetch data from respective sources and are very likely to be developed by separate automotive suppliers.
Glimpse of the advanced Tesla-like vehicle cockpits
Welcome ‘Multi-display Infotainment system’, which is powered by a single Automotive ECU (single hardware) and has one central processing unit.
This central hardware & software system works as a hub that projects the output on multiple displays; viz; Car Head-up Display or Windshield, Digital Cluster, Connected Mobile phone and more.
How Does a Multi-Display Infotainment display system Work?
A typical multi-display infotainment system would essentially feature the main unit (infotainment system) and an Automotive Heads-up display. Additional displays such instrument cluster can also be added.
Features such as navigation, vehicle diagnostic information, media playback, voice control, gesture control are some mainstream inclusions in a new age infotainment solution.
The key components of a multi-display infotainment system:
- A Robust Processor that can handle multiple displays
- Operating System (Android Preferred)
- CAN, LVDS and other network protocol support (As per the requirement)
- GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth Modules
- Sensors for detecting ambient light, gestures, proximity and more.
- Integrated Head-up display
The ones enlisted above are the basic building blocks of a multi-display infotainment solution. More tailor-made and an advanced solution may require additional hardware and software components.
We will now discuss the system details and see how these components interact with each other to provide information + entertainment (= infotainment) to the end-users.
- The main board which can be called as the consolidated ECU (or automotive control unit), will be connected to the primary touch display (infotainment display) as well as the head-up display. The info that will be relayed to the infotainment display is usually pre-defined. On the other hand, the info to be displayed on the integrated head-up display can be chosen by the users.
- The main hardware unit will identify the infotainment display as the primary one and head-up display and instrument cluster as secondary and tertiary display systems.
- The highlight is a single brain that controls all the displays. Inputs such as voice commands, gesture, connected mobile phone etc. will directly go to the main unit. The main unit in turn, will process the input and send the output to the relevant displays.For instance, the navigation data should be sent to the head-up display as it is in front of the driver. Information that does not need immediate attention like the song playlist etc. will be shown on the infotainment display.
Again, it must be pointed out that the kind of information shown on different infotainment displays may vary in different products designed by various automotive OEMs/Suppliers.
Delivering a seamless user experience with multiple infotainment displays at work is not an easy task to execute. In the next section, we talk about the one of the major challenge that automotive engineers face with multiple display infotainment system- too many automotive ECUs to deal with.

The Need for automotive ECU convergence
There is an array of sub-systems in the car that need to be responsive, interactive and secure, all at the same time. As a consequence, the new age cars have a gamut of electronic control units (ECUs).
The introduction of multiple infotainment displays in the vehicles is not only increasing the number of control units and is also making the entire system very complex.
Also, data is being collected not only from traditional sources like CAN in-vehicle network, but also from deployed sensors and IP connected external environment. Hence deploying just one display will not only make the entire UI very cluttered but will also impact the end-user experience.
This situation is akin to handling a double-edged sword; we are in need of a solution that delivers a distraction-free user experience and does away with complexity of too many E/E systems.
The answer is ECU convergence or consolidation– whatever you may like to call it. Now let’s dig a little deeper.
“It will be tough for the OEMs to fulfill consumer’s expectations, both in terms of cost and quality, if every new feature in the car would require new ECU to be added”
A Few Pointers that Highlight the Need for Automotive ECU Convergence:
Consistency issue due to different automotive ECUs
Most automotive OEMs source automotive control units and other hardware/software components from different suppliers. In such scenario, keeping the user experience seamless and consistent becomes a challenge. This is one of the reasons why automotive OEMs are switching to a single ECU that supports multiple functions, thus aiding in creating a holistic and consistent user experience.
Maintaining the accuracy of the content displayed on the screen
The amount of content that OEMs want to display on the screen is increasing quite rapidly. In such a scenario, the device drivers need to coordinate amongst them to pass on accurate info to the displays. It is good to manage the content from a central hardware to keep any anomaly at bay. Also, when a display is showing some safety-critical information, the latency issue also needs to be minimized.
A consolidated automotive ECU that can handle multiple displays is the need of the hour. Innovations in the chipset design and development is making it possible for one Electronic Control Unit to handle multiple functions.
More ECUs means higher cost
Every time a new automotive ECU is added to support a new feature, it entails increased cost. Using different hardware platforms for the multiple displays results in a lot of overheads.
The procurement team has to coordinate with multiple suppliers. Also, every hardware needs to be validated and certified prior to deployment. Both time-to-market and cost increases as these processes involve series of testing and validation processes.
Vulnerability of the ECU system
Reports by Consultancy.uk suggest that by the year 2020, 80% of the new vehicle will be connected to the digital services. This raises serious security concerns.
Having multiple ECUs is similar to having multiple doors in the house. The burglar can look for the least secured door and breach the system. Moreover, securing multiple ECUs again escalates the cost.
When there is a single automotive ECU at play, securing it becomes easier and more cost-friendly.
Some people are of the view that a single ECU controlling multiple displays increased the vulnerability of the system. A successful breach into the central ECU will grant the entire access to the hacker.
Agreed! One cannot simply rule out this possibility and advocate fool-proof security of the single automotive ECU system. However, a consolidated ECU will localize the security issue to a single ECU.
Very strong security measures can be deployed to make it safe and secure. Also, the cost and time involved in securing the system will come down.
Get ready for a Multi-display Cockpit Experience in a Car
Multiple display system is now being embraced by many automotive OEMs worldwide. As ECU convergence gains pace, we can expect to see more cars and some even in the budget segment to come equipped with a multi-display infotainment system. The driving experience is definitely going to be very rich with such as system.

Ending a friendship can hurt just as much as ending a romantic relationship. Friendships can end for various reasons, but breaking off a friendship is painful regardless of the reason. How to get over a friend breakup and move on?
You might think that getting over a lost friendship is easier than getting over a romantic breakup because people (typically) have only one romantic partner and at least several friends. According to this logic, losing one of many friends is easier than losing your only significant other. But the quantitative approach to emotions and relationships doesn't really work. No matter how many friends you have, losing one of them will hurt because each of your friends is special and irreplaceable.
Before mourning over your lost friendship, analyze the reasons why it ended. Friends can simply grow apart emotionally because people change as they get older. Sometimes people break off friendships because they start dating or get married and can't find the time to hang out with friends. A huge disagreement or betrayal is a common reason for friend breakups, too. So what's you case? Maybe things are not so bad as they seem and there's a chance to make things right. Just reach out to your (ex-)friend and talk to them. Even if it doesn't work, you will at least get closure.
If you are sure that your friendship has ended for good, take some time to get over it. You are probably feeling all sorts of emotions right now – anger, sadness, confusion, etc. It is tempting to respond to them with a denial, but suppressing your emotions will only make things worse. You have the right to feel the things you are feeling and cry it out because losing a friend sucks.
When you break up with a friend, you need to give them and yourself some space. You probably have mutual friends, and it is not fair to make them choose between the two of you. Losing one friend is bad enough, you don't have to lose even more. But you probably shouldn't hang out with your friends when your ex-friend is around. Explain the situation to them and ask them not to invite you to events when your ex-friend is going to be there, and vice versa. If they are good friends, they will understand. And don't Facebook-stalk your ex-friend, it definitely won't help you get over.
We are used to relying on our friends when we get over a romantic breakup. You can ask your friends to support you in this case, too. However, keep in mind that you shouldn't badmouth your ex-friend, even if he or she was the one that betrayed you. You will just come across as a negative and revengeful person. Try to pour your hear out without criticizing your ex-friend. For example, if you want to say, “This traitor has hurt me”, say “I feel hurt and betrayed” instead.
As corny as it may sound, time heals. To get over a friend breakup and move on, you need to accept the fact that your friendship ended and mourn the breakup. But don't let yourself get depressed. Go out, make new friends and enjoy your life. It is impossible to replace an old friend because every friendship is unique, but it is possible to start a new friendship that will bring you as much positive emotions as an old one.

MAXINE MCKEW: Pauline Hanson is enjoying her first night at her home since being released from jail by Queensland's Court of Appeal yesterday.
Ms Hanson and fellow One Nation founder David Ettridge walked free after their convictions for electoral fraud were quashed.
The decision has caused legal upheaval in Queensland while in Canberra, John Howard has rejected accusations by the appelate judges that he attempted to influence the case.
Dea Clark reports.
DEA CLARK: After celebrating into the small hours, Pauline Hanson was back home on her property at Ipswich, enjoying her first day of freedom in 11 weeks.
Her priority, raising the flag and catching up on some chores around the farm.
PAULINE HANSON, ONE NATION FOUNDER: Yeah, the cobwebs, the pool needs cleaning, the mowing.
You can't leave it up to your sons, you really can't.
DEA CLARK: While it was business as usual today, last night was a time to catch up with family and friends, celebrating her freedom at an Italian restaurant on the Gold Coast.
While Pauline Hanson was out on the town, David Ettridge was boarding a plane home to Sydney, convinced yesterday's decision will spark a political resurgence for One Nation.
DAVID ETTRIDGE, ONE NATION FOUNDER: It will rise like a phoenix.
People who didn't vote for One Nation are going to say, "Well, we'll protest against what was done," and the attack on their democratic rights.
DEA CLARK: While it seemed she was enjoying being back in the media spotlight, Ms Hanson was tight-lipped about a possible return to the political stage.
PAULINE HANSON: I tell you what, I'd need rocks in my bloody head if I thought about that again.
MARK SIMKIN: In yesterday's Court of Appeal judgment, Justice Margaret McMurdo criticised several politicians, including the PM, for their public comments about the case.
She described them as: " -- An attempt to interfere with the independence of the judiciary for cynical, political motives."
JOHN HOWARD, PRIME MINISTER: My comments were not in any way calculated to influence the outcome.
I don't believe for a moment they did.
BRONWYN BISHOP, LIBERAL BACKBENCHER: Freedom of speech is our paramount right, and I will always speak out when there's a need to.
DEA CLARK: Back in Queensland, the political impact of yesterday's decision is already making waves.
In the wake of criticism over the handling of the case, the Queensland Government today announced an immediate review of the State's justice department, focusing on the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
But the Premier says compensation for wrongful imprisonment is out of the question.
PETER BEATTIE, QLD PREMIER: The Queensland Government, if it paid compensation here, would inevitably expose taxpayers to millions and millions and millions of dollars over a period of time, because appeals do succeed.
TERRY GORMAN, COUNCIL FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES: How unfair is it, whether it's Pauline Hanson or Mr and Mrs Anonymous from the suburbs, that they sit in jail for 4-6 months, they have their appeal overturned and they're supposed to grin and wear it.
DEA CLARK: But, for the moment, the political debate surrounding the former party leader is a world away.
Dea Clark, Lateline.

Ecological status of Iraq river’s water
Keywords:water pollution by transition metals, Iraqi water resources, water treatment problems, environmental problems of water resources, Iraqi rivers, Euphrates river, Tigris river
The problem of the natural fresh water pollution of Iraq`s rivers by cations of transition metal is considered in this article. The main uses of water in Iraq are irrigation, electricity generation and drinking water supply. At the same time, agriculture is the most active consumer of water. It is shown that the uncontrolled discharge into the river basins of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates of wastewater with a high content of pollutants of domestic and technogenic origin has led to a progressively unsatisfactory ecological situation. The researching results of water samples from the Euphrates River from 8 water intake stations are presented. An excess of the maximum permissible concentration of transition cations such as nickel, cadmium and lead in natural waters was revealed by more than 200 times. The pollution of the natural water Iraq`s rivers is a consequence of climatic features and of the lack of proper supervision of enterprises that carry out uncontrolled discharge of wastewater into the natural hydrosphere and the unsatisfactory state of urban wastewater treatment plants.
