Over the years, CWI Railroad System Specialists’ RYDM Rail Yard Data Management has morphed from tracking fuel usage into a customizable, modular-based system providing metering, data accuracy and real-time data management functions. It serves a variety of rail yard tasks — including truck loading and unloading, as well as locomotive nozzle fueling — with an emphasis on accurate measurement, data integrity and safety, company officials said in an email.
The reporting capabilities are cutomizable; instant email notifications are available for warnings or advisories for high tank levels, specific fuel/sand/lube/waste quantities, leak detection and system faults. Other fetures include maximum locomotive/truck filling shutoffs and fuel security/ theft prevention.
CWI also has installed fuel tracking systems on locomotive service trucks. Equipped with a 12-volt RYDM system, the trucks use all standard RYDM equipment. The data gathered synced and accessed via a dedicated RYDM website dashboard. Authorized users have access through cell phones, laptops, desktops and/or local displays, and data from all fueling sites is consolidated and updated in real time.
One way railroads can offset fuel cost increases is to invest in idle reduction systems designed to eliminate the need for locomotive idling in cold weather.
Hotstart APUs and shore power electric engine heaters operate when a locomotive is parked, either in the yard or remotely, and help keep the prime mover and oil heated in cold weather, company officials said. Depending on the solution, battery charging, cab heat and Automatic Engine Shutdown/Startup interfacing are available.
The APU operates on the locomotive’s diesel source, using 0.5 gallons per hour compared with four or five gallons per hour by the locomotive, company officials said. Shore power systems connect to power in the yard, eliminating the need to use diesel for idling. Keeping a locomotive heated with a Hotstart system also eliminates wet stacking and emissions, company officials said.
New York Air Brake LLC (NYAB) offers LEADER®, an onboard train-control system that reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions by 6% to 17%, according to NYAB officials.
The system’s foundation is an onboard computer with a database containing the track profile of a given trip (hills, curves, speed limits and distance) and the makeup of the consist (train length, weight, car types, car position, locomotive power and power distribution). Using GPS to pinpoint the location and exact speed of the train, LEADER software performs hundreds of simulations per second that predict train performance miles ahead. It evaluates multiple train operating strategies and selects the strategy that’s the best match for fuel economy, rail-car life and on-time schedule performance, company officials said.
Introduced as LEADER DriverAssist™, the initial system displayed ideal throttle and dynamic brake settings to the locomotive engineer. Today, LEADER AutoPilot™ provides precise automatic operation of throttle, dynamic brake, independent brake and air brakes for increased fuel economy, extended rail-car life and on-time schedule performance.
LEADER is PTC-compliant and responsive to enroute signal changes, changing weather conditions and locomotive performance. Deployed on more than 5,000 locomotives worldwide, LEADER was the first onboard energy management system for heavy-haul freight trains, the first onboard train-control system to demonstrate the ability to start and stop a freight train under the sole control of a computer and the first autonomous heavy-haul train-control system (driverless train) in revenue service, NYAB officials said.
The newest model in the PowerHouse™ lineup, the PowerHouse™ Hybrid from Power Drives Inc. eliminates the engine as an APU — powering itself directly from the locomotive battery bank.
The Hybrid can run off the locomotive batteries for up to seven days without starting the engine; when plugged into an external 120-volt power source, the Hybrid charges the locomotive batteries.
“Customer savings have surpassed the investment in as few as three months,” company officials said, adding that typical usage savings is more than 10,000 gallons of fuel in one season.
Additionally, the PowerHouse system heats the engine oil and circulates heated coolant through the locomotive engine block and cooling system to maintain a fluid temperature above 100 F — even in the coldest of temperatures — via a diesel-fired heating unit, company officials said.
Progress Rail offers Talos™ Energy Management, train automation software designed to automatically (and more efficiently) control the throttle and dynamic brake.
“Customer deployments are experiencing up to a 15% reduction in fuel consumption, lower in-train forces and more consistent train operation,” company officials said.
Talos also enables locomotive engineers to focus more on “the overall situational awareness of the train’s surroundings,” which increases train safety, company officials said.
Additionally, Progress Rail now offers NitroMP Movement Planner and Pacing NitroMP through the company’s acquisition of decision-support software company Nitryx. NitroMP uses machine learning and optimization tools to improve railroad network operations.
Connecting the movement plan to Talos train automation can further improve network efficiency and fluidity: During a “meet and pass” situation, Movement Planner can optimize the train’s speed (and fuel consumption by Talos Automation train), thereby avoiding a delay caused by one train waiting for the other. The potential result: up to a 20% additional decrease in fuel consumption, company officials said.
Meanwhile, the PowerView Sense unit connects to any open Power over Ethernet port on the PowerView network and enables ultrasonic fuel sensor readings while comparing X, Y and Z acceleration data to create accurate tank volume measurements.
Railhead Corp.’s modular system utilizes an ultrasonic sensor installed through the top of the fuel tank. The sensor is Power over Ethernet-powered, making it easy to install or retrofit, and it does not require mounting a 4-foot capacitive pole like other fuel sensors, company officials said.
Users can detect fuel events, evaluate history, calculate consumption, detect rapid-fuel loss, monitor real-time fuel levels, and detect low fuel and other fuel-related anomalies. Fuel data can be accessed through a full back-office software application along with other train data or viewed with video captures using Railhead’s standard RSM software.
The company’s fuel monitoring system uses accelerometers and custom algorithms to compensate for pitch and roll of the locomotive, resulting in increased accuracy in fuel readings, Railhead officials said.
Wabtec Corp.’s new Fuel App is designed to provide operators full visibility into fuel consumption, enabling them to optimize operations in real time through an intuitive interface on any mobile device or web browser. The application connects data from multiple systems and sensors to provide an up-to-date view of fuel consumption, and can connect to energy management systems, event recorders, train sensors, fuel gauges, locomotive control systems and external systems, such as fuel depot records, company officials said.
The application also analyzes fuel usage based on throttle, price, spend by locomotive class, crew, trip and geo zones. Leveraging machine-learning technology, the Wabtec Fuel App can detect potential fuel leaks or unnecessary and excessive idling.
Railroads can achieve a 3% to 5% annual cost savings with the app, company officials said. And the machine-learning capabilities help make the app “smarter” as it collects more data over time, they added.
Wi-Tronix LLC provides railroads with multiple fuel management outcomes. The company delivers monitoring for multiple forms of fuel usage and consumption, including diesel, electric and liquified natural gas power.
The options enable users to determine how energy solutions are performing and receive alerts quickly, compare efficiencies across multiple energy solutions in a fleet, measure effectiveness of energy solutions and easily identify root causes of problems, company officials said.
Wi-Tronix’s Violet Edge fuel management solution is designed to provide real-time, accurate, reliable data and diagnostics on such parameters as locomotive idling time and fuel tank levels. Violet Edge also ensures trains are refueled per trip plan and detects any fuel leakages.
Wi-Tronix receives refuel data from third-party vendors at fixed fueling locations, integrates that data with the company’s ultrasonic sensors installed in the locomotive, and then alerts the railroad if the locomotive doesn’t receive the right quantity of fuel at the right time or location. To further improve fuel data integrity, the company uses artificial intelligence to differentiate a true refuel from erratic fuel spikes showing up as false refuels.
To simplify fuel accounting for Class Is, Wi-Tronix provides a one-click solution for tracking fuel in locomotives at change-of-authority locations. The company also provides standardized emissions solutions for compliance reports, summarized by vehicle type, geography and fleet.
ZTR offers intelligent starting technology alongside proven Automatic Engine Shutdown/Startup (AESS) systems and fuel measurement solutions designed to provide fuel savings, advanced diagnostic information and emissions reductions.
SmartStart® IIe is an AESS system that helps reduce and manage locomotive idling and delivers significant fuel savings. SmartStart IIe also reduces emissions and exhaust smoke and can be applied to “just about any diesel locomotive — from relay logic to microprocessor — regardless of manufacturer, model, age or usage,” company officials said.
A compact system, SmartStart IIe is designed to mount easily and is annually certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The AESS can also provide emissions reports and verification of emissions reduction and continues to record actual savings (millions of gallons/liters of fuel) while it’s working, usually paying for itself in less than 12 months, company officials said.
The ZTR KickStart™ starting solution can provide further fuel and emission reductions. Using supercapacitor technology, KickStart offloads the batteries during the engine crank cycle. Over time, the reduced battery usage in the crank leads to reduced AESS engine idle time waiting for the batteries to charge and extends shutdown time due to less battery-initiated restarts, offering further environmental benefits, company officials said.
InteLevel® is designed to provide accurate locomotive fuel level information in harsh railway conditions. The fuel-level measurement technology uses solid-state electronics and a patented technology that operates by sending wave-guided pulses along a tank-mounted, stainless-steel waveguide, and is unaffected by foam, rust, scale or other commonly found tank conditions.

Tapping sugar maple trees is a tradition in the Upper Hudson River Valley since the 18th Century. The sugaring season lasts usually from late February to early April. Tapping does no permanent damage to the sugar maple tree.
It takes over 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Warm, sunny days and frosty nights are ideal for sap flow. The harvest season ends with the coming of spring’s warm nights and the first stages of bud development on the trees.
New York is the second largest maple-producing state in the nation, making more than 820,000 gallons in 2019.

Assessing America’s Readiness for Biological Warfare.
As genetic editing becomes easier and cheaper, the threat of biological weapons is growing – but the United States has made little progress in preparing to defend against them. Biological terrorism is among the most serious threats facing the United States in the 21st century, and the government is not prepared. American healthcare can hardly handle a rough flu season.  Scientific breakthroughs in gene editing have enabled modification to an organism’s DNA more proficiently and precisely than ever before.  With such impressive capabilities, a major concern is that foreign states will be tempted to revive or begin biological weapons programs and ignite biological arms races. Even the ability for other nations to develop such weapons of mass destruction is a threat that ought to be taken and prepared for seriously.
Synthetic biology, in combination with advances in DNA synthesis, data science, and software, gives scientists precise tools to manipulate living organisms, enhancing opportunities to create bioweapons.  It has the potential to enable the development of new types of weapons and recreate pathogenic viruses, engineer bacteria to make them more dangerous, and engineer microbes to produce and release toxic biochemicals.  While the technology and science themselves open new opportunities for weapon development, the ease with which chemical materials, technologies, ideas, and personnel with scientific expertise move throughout the global economy is a major cause of concern for the United States.  The number of people able to use the information quickly diffused across the globe continues to grow, creating more opportunity for people with nefarious intentions to take advantage of the technology and use it for acts of terrorism toward the United States.
Given such advances and increasing opportunity, the United States is ill-prepared to defend against a rogue actor using these technologies. In 2016, a Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense asserted that the United States remains underprepared for a biological crisis. The United States’ uncertain response to the Ebola and Zika outbreaks affirmed this claim.  This lack of preparedness makes the United States a large target not only for terrorists, but also for rogue nations that are suspected of developing biological weapons. In September 2018, the White House made it clear that U.S. officials recognize the danger of biological weapons in the 21st century when President Trump unveiled the 2018 National Biodefense Strategy. The strategy identifies key assumptions and five main goals that the Intelligence Community must keep in mind moving forward against the possibility against biological weapons of mass destruction. These goals are to enable risk awareness to inform decision-making across the biodefense enterprise, ensure biodefense enterprise capabilities to prevent bioincidents, ensure biodefense enterprise preparedness to reduce the impacts of bioincidents, rapidly response to limit impacts of bioincidents, and facilitate recovery to restore the community, economy, and environment after a bioincident.  Under each of these goals is a detailed plan on how to meet the standard. The strategy further established a Biodefense Steering Committee to coordinate defense efforts across the government.
While it has taken some steps in the right direction, the United States must take further measures to defend against a potential future battlefield of biology. Biological weapons ought to be considered an asymmetric threat – that is, a threat that the United States is not prepared for because the threat and/or perpetrators are too diverse to have focused responses. There are a number of adversaries who might attempt to utilize these weapons of mass destruction, ranging from regimes in North Korea and Iran to terrorist groups around the world. While there is little hard evidence to suggest other nations are developing these programs, there are several indicators that suggest North Korea is actively working to weaponize biological weapons of mass destruction.  Certainly, government officials in the United States are taking the threats seriously – the National Biodefense Strategy is a good first step – but more can and should be done. Most of the United States’ readiness is still more reactive and less proactive.
To improve biological defenses, two major steps should be taken:
First, the government should regulate and monitor synthetic biology research. For decades, agreements, accords, and tradition are the only things that have prevented people with nefarious intentions from developing bioweapons. To date, those agreements have been largely successful with limited exceptions. However, since the recent diversification within the genetics community, genetic editing tools are no longer restricted to scientists working in government and university labs. Today, genetic editing kits are available for hobbyists, independent companies, and private scientists. While the open and unrestricted availability of such tools and research could almost certainly lead to scientific breakthroughs, it also drastically increases the probability of such research falling into the wrong hands and leading to deliberate weaponization of infectious agents. Such regulations would need to, at a minimum, require approval for research projects that are not authorized by government agencies.
A major, and valid, criticism is that research permits might become heavily politicized. To counter this, the approval process would have to go through an independent council of biological experts – not a Congressional committee. Second, the government needs to prioritize investments in public health infrastructure. The National Academy of Sciences released a report that identified one of the best solutions for mitigating concerns related to biological weapons of mass destruction is to invest in and develop a robust health system that would enable rapid response to the use of a bioweapon.  Practically, this might include more generous stipends for medical centers around the nations, publicly funded hospitals, and updating information sharing methods to protect medical research. Such investments could also enable medical professionals to identify unusual symptoms well in advance of a national epidemic. A well-funded public health system would improve the United States’ readiness and resilience. Even further, such a system would greatly improve the chances of identifying an epidemic or attack before it spreads to the point where it becomes unmanageable.
While these proposals do not guarantee any sort of silver bullet to prevent a biological attack, they would equip the United States to mitigate the risks and strengthen a struggling, neglected, ever-important sector.

It’s germ season and if you have small children in the house, it always seems like sickness is bound to happen at some point or another. But there are things you and your kids can do to stay healthy and help stop the spread of germs. If you model these tips for your kids, they’ll be happy to join in! Share with them the importance of the healthy habits below and watch together as they help make a difference! Wash your hands often This is an oldie, but a goodie. Washing your hands often and well is one of the most effective ways to avoid spreading germs to yourself or others. Have your kids wash their hands when coming inside, before eating, and even before bed. Proper hand washing includes lots of warm water, soap, and at least 20 seconds of scrubbing (about the length of the “Happy Birthday” song). Don’t forget to wash your own hands often as well to model this habit for your little ones. Eat lots of fresh foods, mostly veggies Eat lots of fresh foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Think colorful when it comes to dishing up a plate or preparing a meal—the more veggies you include, the more colorful the spread! When it comes to snacking, try keeping a bowl of fruit on the counter for easy access for all. Or keep cut up celery or baby carrots at eye level in the fridge, making it easy for your kids to grab a healthy snack! The vitamins veggies and other fresh foods provide will help you and your family stay healthy all year long. Take a probiotic Probiotics have been proven to fight bad bacteria with good bacteria. So while eating lots of veggies and fresh foods lay a great foundation for getting adequate nutrients, adding a daily probiotic to your kids’ diet can significantly improve their digestion and gut health. Try introducing a certified, sugar-free variety like Doctor MKs Natural Kids Probiotic Chews, which is free of all the bad stuff but tastes like candy so kids love them. (As always though, it’s a good idea to check with your family doctor before adding any additional supplements into your children’s diets.) Avoid junk food Junk food is tempting at all ages, but adds no nutritional value to your family’s diet. Avoid keeping junk foods in the house and your kids will learn to reach for healthy alternatives instead. Craving a crunchy snack? Try thin-sliced cucumber or celery instead of chips. Craving something sweet? Dried cranberries, sliced pears, or orange slices offer a natural sweetness that will satisfy any sweet-tooth. Craving something salty? Try eating a handful of lightly salted nuts. Your family will thank you in the long run! Drink water instead of sugary drinks Water is often taken for granted when it comes to health, but our bodies rely on water to function properly and to flush out or immune system. But even though we know it’s good for us, it’s hard […]

Hamilton ready to move into public office
By Dennis Box, The Courier-Herald
Mark Hamilton is scheduled to be sworn into office - an at-large position on the Bonney Lake City Council - on Nov. 25. Results from the Nov. 4 general election will be ratified today (Wednesday).
This is the first public office Hamilton has held and he credits his brother Matt, a business owner in Sumner, with encouraging him to run.
"He told me I had get into this," Hamilton said "He was seeing the same thing I was, unending growth running over us like a steamroller. What we need is the right type of growth."
The 49-year-old Hamilton is president of Network Support Inc, a support company for small businesses. He said he is excited about taking office, working with the mayor and City Council.
"I'm hoping I can get in there and do some good," he said. "I don't want to get in there and disappoint the people that voted for me."
He said reaching out to all the people, meeting and communicating with as many groups and individuals as possible was important to a successful term.
Economic and growth issues will be top priorities for the new council member. "The mayor is suppose to appoint an economic committee and I hope to be on that," he said.
A parks and recreation impact fee is high on Hamilton's list of actions that the City Council needs to consider. "I want to set up parks and rec impact fees as soon as possible. Any development eats up local space and the fees help to mitigate that," he said. " I don't want to see the same mistake we made with traffic impact fees. Those fees should have been enacted in 1999 rather then 2003."
Hamilton also believes the Pierce County proposal that Bonney Lake consider annexation of the South Plateau areas of Prairie Ridge, Rhododendron Park and Ponderosa Estates may not be a happy marriage.
"I'm not so sure those folks would be all that excited with the arrangement," Hamilton said. "I know that area has a lot of issues, but that would be some heavy lifting. It has to be a mutual agreement. The county should do a survey before we even bother."

This application is a continuation-in-part and claims priority from U.S. application Ser. No. 09/522,332, entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING NETWORK INFORMATION ON A NETWORK DEVICE, filed Mar. 9, 2000.
This invention generally relates to network management and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for accessing network information on a network of intelligent network devices.
Computer networks are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to manage. This is driven in part by the ever-increasing variety of network devices, computers, and software being combined together to integrate large enterprise-based intranets with the Internet. Network management tools have been produced to monitor these complex combinations of hardware and software and help troubleshoot network failures when they occurred.
Traditional network management tools use a protocol called simple network management protocol (SNMP) to monitor network devices such as routers, switches, hubs, remote access devices, or even computers in a network The protocol used to interface with SNMP includes rudimentary commands to operate on data such as to “get” a variable, “set” a variable, or “test” a variable. These commands typically are deployed from a central network management server (NMS) within the network to a network device connected to the network. The network device processes one or more of these rudimentary commands and then returns the results to the NMS for further processing and analysis. In these systems, little or no processing or analysis is performed by the network devices. Instead, the NMS is saddled with the responsibility of receiving the results as well as performing the complex analyses associated with monitoring network operation and performance.
In one aspect of the present invention, a method of performing network management on a network device includes receiving a request to perform a network management task on a network device, loading a network management application capable of performing the network management task onto the network device in response to the request. In one implementation, loading includes accessing an application server having the network management application capable of a performing the network management task and downloading the network management application over a network from the application server to the network device. The network device then executes the network management application corresponding to the requested network management task. Methods and systems provide a result from executing the network management application to a network management system used to manage the network. Alternatively, the methods and systems broadcast a result from executing the network management application over a network to other network devices capable of monitoring and processing the result.
The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the advantages and principles of the invention.
Systems and methods described herein are used to distribute network management tasks to one or more network devices connected to a network. A network application distributed to each network device collects relevant network parameters from each network device and transmits the results back to a central NMS or to other network devices on the network for further analysis. Each network application can be programmed to perform a series of complex operations using an object-oriented programming language such as Java. The network application interfaces on each network device provides an application programming interface (API) compatible with the particular programming language. This API is compatible with legacy network management protocols such as simple network management protocol (SNMP) and, therefore, can be adapted to work with a wide range of legacy compatible devices.
Tools used to generate the API consistent with the present invention include a management information database (MIB) to object-oriented software compiler and a MIB map. The compiler uses existing MIB information to generate an object oriented MIB interface to the underlying MIB information collected on each network device. The compiler also generates a MIB map to determine if access to the MIB information is made directly to the storage location of the MIB database or through a network address and network management protocol associated with the network device.
Network device 102 facilitates the transfer of applications from an application server 108 to the other network devices and nodes on the network. Server 108 provides applications that can execute directly on network devices 102-106 and target network device 112. The variety of network applications available for downloading from application server 108 increases the network management capabilities of each network device. For example, application server 108 may provide an application to a network device that enables the device to filter network traffic containing data packets generated from activities not critical to business, such as browsing the Internet. The resulting increase in bandwidth can be used for more critical business needs.
Network device 104 enables authentication server 110 to authenticate downloading of applications from application server 108 to other network devices within communication system 100. Authentication server 110 can identify a network device on the network and determine if that device should or should not receive a particular application. For example, authentication server 110 may authenticate a particular application and determine if the application should be downloaded to a network device in communication system 100. This feature could be used to prevent introduction of viruses or other unauthorized software onto the network. Additionally, authentication server 110 may also determine if a network device within communication system 100 has proper authorization to download an application.
Network device 106 facilitates communication between a network monitor server (NMS) 116 and other network nodes and processes within communication system 100. Traditionally, an NMS will send network commands to the network devices and, in return, receive input from the network devices, including network parameters. This traditional approach to network management requires NMS 116 to perform a majority of the processing for network management. In contrast, system 100 distributes processing to the network devices that are in communication with the network. This reduces the processing load and frees up NMS 116 so that it can process more critical tasks. For example, network device 102 may monitor network traffic between it and network 111 to reduce the processing load on NMS server 116. In such a case, NMS 116 might receive a notification from network device 102 when device 102 detects that the network bandwidth has exceeded a predetermined threshold.
Target network device 112 depicts an exemplary network device monitored by either a user or central NMS 116. The client node user interface 114 allows the user to perform network management tasks that execute directly on target network device 112. NMS 116 is used to monitor larger and more frequent management tasks dealing with groups of network devices or the overall network. For example, NMS server 116 can execute software agents on different network devices and monitor overall traffic being processed by a group of network devices connected to the network.
Network communication port 206 is compatible with a variety of physical and logical network protocols including, for example, TCP/IP and Novell NetWare. A loop back address 207 enables network management applications executing on target device 112 to access local storage areas and resources using the local network protocol stack and local network parameters rather than accessing the storage area on the network device directly. By using the network protocol stack, network applications can access network parameters on a local device and a remote device in a uniform manner. For example, a network management application executing on target network device 112 can access network parameters associated with a remote network device or a local network device through network communication port 206 by specifying either the network address of the remote network device or the local device respectively. Specifically, the network management application executing on the local device can access network parameters of the local network device by specifying loop back address 207. In effect, loop back address 207 provides indirect access to the network parameters of the local device through the network protocol stack.
Secondary storage 208 may include a disk drive, CD-ROM, or any other storage device used by target network device 112. Input-output ports 210 include physical connections for terminals, printers, pointing devices, keyboards, or any other device useful in operating target network device 112.
During execution, memory 202 includes a real time operating system (RTOS) 212, an annotation layer 214, a native variable interface 216, a simple network management protocol (SNMP)stack 217, a virtual machine runtime environment 218, a management information database (MIB)map 220, a MIB compiler 221, an object-oriented MIB interface 222, a mobile agent module 224, and a client application 226. On target network device 112, RTOS 212 provides improved performance by executing instructions as they arrive without interruption or delay. A general-purpose operating system may be used in lieu of RTOS 212 but may reduce performance of target network device 112 as processes are preempted and swapped out of memory.
Annotation layer 214 provides an interface between applications accessing the MIB database associated with a network device and the actual storage locations for the MIB database on the network device. This layer is necessary because different hardware devices tend to store the underlying MIB database information in different locations on the network device. For example, one network device may store port speed address in a central lookup table of RAM while other network devices may store the port speed addresses for each port on separate ASIC chips associated with each port. Using annotation layer 214 an application can request MIB database information without specifying the actual location of data on the network device.
SNMP stack 217 implements a network management protocol used by different networks to exchange network management information while monitoring network communication. Typically, SNMP stack 217 exchanges network information with other nodes on the network through messages called protocol data units (PDUs). The PDUs contain variables with titles and values and are generally capable of “getting” network parameters, “setting” network parameters, or “testing” for network events occurring on network devices. For example, SNMP stack 217 may transmits a PDU to a remote network device to determine if the remote device has a terminal attached to it. If the terminal is attached to the remote network device, SNMP stack 217 will receive back a PDU containing information that may identify and describe the specific terminal. Each PDU typically includes a variable title, the data-type of the variable (e.g., integer, string etc.), whether the variable is read-only or read-write, and a value of the variable.
Native variable interface 216 provides direct access to underlying SNMP data stored on a network device. Each device on the network requires a different native variable interface 216 customized to the specific features of the device hardware and software. As new network devices are produced or added to a network, a new interface 216 is customized to the specific hardware and software requirements. While this customization process increases the research and development costs, it also increases the efficiency associated with retrieving network parameters from a network device because the information is accessed directly.
Alternatively, network parameters may also be retrieved using SNMP stack 217 and loopback address 207. This eliminates the need for native variable interface 216 and reduces the corresponding costs associated with developing the native variable interface. In lieu of accessing the network parameters directly, a network management application submits requests to loopback address 207 of a network device. Within the requests are SNMP compatible commands formulated to retrieve the desired network parameters. Local processes on the network device monitoring loopback address 207 pass the request to SNMP stack 217 which, in turn, accesses the network parameters as requested. The same local processes then return the resulting network parameters back through SNMP stack 217 and through loopback address 207 and back to the network management application requesting the information.
Virtual machine runtime environment 218 processes object-oriented instructions for execution on processor 204, and may include a virtual machine (VM) and a corresponding development kit (DK)having object-oriented class libraries. The VM simulates a processor and executes on many different hardware platforms. Instructions from a variety of applications are interpreted by the VM and executed on processor 204. One virtual machine run time environment 218 includes a Java virtual machine (JVM) and the Java foundation classes. The Java virtual machine is one type of virtual machine that promotes platform independent computing using the Java programming language.
In operation, MIB map 220 facilitates converting object-oriented requests for MIB information into requests for network parameters either through SNMP stack 217 or native variable interface 216. MIB map 220 determines how network parameters in a MIB should be accessed for different types of network devices. For example, MIB map 220 can be implemented with a table that converts requests for network parameters through native variable interface 216 or SNMP stack 217 into a series of object-oriented method calls. The map includes a database listing the network parameters related to the management of a network device and a set of object-oriented methods for manipulating the network parameters. MIB map 220 maps requests for network parameters from a set of operations to access and manipulate the network parameters to a database having the actual network parameter information. Each request for a network parameter may invoke one or more object-oriented methods depending on the complexity associated with retrieving and processing the data
If a new type of network device is added to the network, MIB map 220 will initially access the network parameters using SNMP stack 217 and loopback address 207 in the manner previously discussed. This allows a network management device to access network parameters on an SNMP compatible network device using existing SNMP features built into the network device. Once a native variable interface 216 is developed for the network device, MIB map 220 can be reconfigured to access network parameters through the faster and more efficient native variable interface 216.
Object-oriented MIB interface 222 provides an interface for applications to access MIB information using object-oriented classes and methods. Initially, a MIB compiler 221, discussed in further detail below, receives a list of MIB variables and generates the classes and method found in the object-oriented MIB interface 222. At least two types of variables—scalar variables and table variables—are accessible through object-oriented MIB interface 222. A scalar variable is a single variable with an identifier that identifies the variable and a value associated with the variable. If an application requests a scalar variable, object oriented MIB interface 222 returns an object-oriented instance of that scalar variable. For example, a network management application may request a scalar variable identify the number of re-sent packets on the network device. Alternatively, object-oriented MIB interface 222 may request a table of information from the underlying SNMP layer. In response, the underlying SNMP layer would provide an object table and corresponding methods for accessing each of the entries within the table. As an example, one type of object table may include a list of network addresses associated with network devices in a subnet and methods for an application to manipulate the entries in such a table.
Mobile agent module 224 provides a framework for executing a variety of mobile agents. Client application 226 represents one such mobile agent application as illustrated in FIG. 2. Accordingly, mobile agent module 224 interfaces between the mobile agent and the underlying execution environment, thus allowing a mobile agent to operate on a variety of network devices and operating environments.
For example, mobile agent module 224 implemented in accordance with the Java Bean™ application-programming interface defines a portable, platform-mutual set of APIs for software components to communicate with each other in accordance with the Java Beans conventions. In addition, mobile agents implemented using Java Bean components are able to plug into other component architectures, such as Microsoft's COM/DCOM/Active X architecture. In this capacity, mobile agent module 224 acts as a bridge between mobile agents developed using Java Beans and other component object models or component architectures. For example, mobile agent module 224 may receive Java instructions from client application 226 and convert them into instructions compatible with the COM/DCOM/Active X environment or alternatively, may convert these same Java instructions into byte codes to run on a virtual machine in virtual machine run time environment 218. It should be appreciated that client application 226 may be any type of network management application designed for execution on target network device 112.
Next, MIB compiler 221 extracts network parameters for the specific network device from the MIB definitions (step 304). This involves lexically recognizing and parsing each token in the MIB definitions for the network device. MIB compiler 221 then generates an object-oriented MIB application programming interface or MIB interface and MIB map 220 corresponding to the MIB definitions (step 306). The object-oriented MIB interface creates classes corresponding to the MIB hierarchy and methods for accessing each of the variables in the MIB definition. MIB map 220 assists in mapping object-oriented class definitions and method calls into corresponding combinations of SNMP primitives (e. g., get, set, and test) used by SNMP stack 217.
For example, vendor specific group 404A includes an area that a vendor can define their own network parameters and proprietary information. SNMP group 406A includes definitions for protocol data units (PDUs) used for network nodes to communicate. IP group 410A includes information corresponding to the network communication layer. For example, IP group 410A may include the IP address of a network device and nearby routers or switches. TCP group 412A, which includes information corresponding to the transport protocol layer, may include a list of all active connections communicating using a “socket” interface as well as the ports and corresponding services.
MIB compiler 221 in
In response to the request to load a set of operations, the network device accesses an application server having the application(s) capable of performing the set of operations associated with the task (step 504). For example, an application server 108 as shown in
The network device loads and executes the requested application (step 508). Using the application, the network device may perform a variety of network management functions. For example, the network device may be asked to monitor network traffic on a nearby network and notify the central NMS when a node on the network becomes inactive or the network traffic increases beyond a particular threshold.
Once the information or results are generated, the network device provides information back to the NMS for processing (step 510). If a central NMS is not present, the network device may broadcast results over the network to other network devices monitoring and processing the network information.
As shown in
The network management application then determines if the requested network parameter is associated with the local network device or a remote network device (step 604). If the network parameter is associated with a remote network device, the network management application forms and sends a request for the network parameter to the remote network address of the network device (step 606). For example, the network management application may request that SNMP stack 217 (see
If the network management application requests network information associated with the local network device (step 604), the network management application can access the requested network parameters in at least two different ways. The network management application can access the network parameters on the local network device directly (step 611) using a software interface customized for the network device (step 620). For example, the network management application can use a native variable interface to access network parameters on the local network device.
Alternatively, the network management application may access local network parameters on a local network device using existing network protocol. Initially, the network management application sends a request for a network parameter through the network protocol of the local network device using the “loopback” address (step 612). This loopback address is a self-referential address which identifies the local network device on the network without sending packets of information over the actual network. For example, sending a request to the loop back address establishes a data route directly back to the network protocol stack on the local network device. The network management application essentially uses SNMP stack 217 on the local network device to create a PDU to request the corresponding network parameter (step 614). SNMP stack 217 then retrieves the requests for the particular network parameter (step 616). The results, are then returned to network management application 226 executing on local network device (step 618).
While specific implementations have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, although aspects of the present invention are described as being stored in memory and other storage mediums, they can also be stored on or read from other types of computer-readable media, such as secondary storage devices, like hard disks, floppy disks, or CD-ROM, a carrier wave from the Internet, or other forms of RAM or ROM. Accordingly, the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but instead is defined by the appended claims and their full scope of equivalents.

Barack Obama Was For Military Commission Tribunals Against KSM before He was Against Them … What Happened to the Full Military Trial?
Barack Obama was for Military Tribunals, before he was against them. So what changed from 2006? Will Americans question Obama and his Administration why he has done a reversal of fortunes on this issue?
Does this look like a common crime committed by common criminals?
Remember when Senator Barack Hussein Obama said that KSM would get a full military trail with all the bells and whistles on 9/27/06?
“Ironically those are the guys who are going to get real military procedures because they are going to be charged by the government.”
It was the debate for Military Commissions Act of 2006 to authorize trials by military commissions for violations of the law of war and act of war against the United States. The underlying bill that Obama refers to below was HR-6166 and passed and signed into law on 10/17/06.
You will hear opponents of this amendment say that it will give all kind of rights to terrorist, masterminds like Khalid Sheik Mohammed. I want to repeat that is not true. The irony of the underlying bill as it is written, is that someone like KSM is going to get a full military trial with all the bells and whistles.
Because the feeling is, he is guilty of a war crime and to do otherwise might violate the Geneva Convention.
Atlas Shrugs provides some compelling visuals as to why to treat these terrorist not as common criminals, but was terrorist crimes against America.
Friends who are surviving 911 family members and firefighters, including Debra Burlingame and Tim Brown, have started a campaign to pressure the Obama administration to back out of bringing the terrorists to NY for trial.
It has only been a couple of days and already they have over 80,000 signatures on a letter to Obama. You can find the letter at http://www.thebravest.com.

With the grow of technology, it has become feasible to take pleasure in someone coming from all over the world. This kind of relationship, however , here incorporates its own troubles and is often criticized by simply those who don’t understand that. However , for some people, is it doesn’t only way to find true love and can even help them overwhelmed social nervousness.
Within a virtual marriage, you communicate with your partner by way of texting or video calling. This allows you to show your feelings and connect with each other emotionally, while not having to worry about in person interactions. It can also be more affordable than meeting in person and does not require any kind of travel bills or gift ideas. However , this type of discussion can be difficult to manage and requires a great deal of trust coming from both parties.
It’s not uncommon for a electronic relationship to evolve into a real-life one. In some instances, this is really because you have developed genuine thoughts for someone, and it makes sense to fulfill them face-to-face to make the romantic relationship official. Others, however , choose to stay in a virtual relationship for the rest of their lives.
While there happen to be pros and cons to both types of relationships, it is vital to considercarefully what you really want before you choose a partner. If you would like to find love online, you need to be open and honest with your partner. Unless you, the likelihood of a long-distance relationship going wrong are big.
In addition, you will need to have patience and understanding of your partner’s requires. Virtual interactions can be psychologically draining, specifically if you are dealing with long distances. This is why you should choose a reliable and supporting partner who will be to assist you.

The moment Dan’s high school crush texted him, it was the best thing he had ever heard. This individual couldn’t hold out to see her and spend more time with her. Having been smitten and thought your sweetheart was the perfect match for him.
But just a couple months afterward, the thrills was eliminated. Lisa got begun to share him about her earlier and what she needed in a romance. This triggered Dan to feel broken.
It is also extremely important to note that some studies about parasocial romances are widely and financially biased, and fail to consider that a few people may not be capable to meet their very own partners in real life because of financial restrictions or deficiency of access to the internet. Furthermore, these studies do not consider how far a virtual marriage can go and what it is competent of achieving. Subsequently, some analysts are skeptical of the validity of these claims. Various other scholars, however, argue that these types of relationships may be just as satisfying as face-to-face relationships.

UAE, Italy boost trade ties
An event in Pisa marked the end of a long-wait for the traders who craved for striking deals to boost their fortunes.
Business relations between the UAE and Italy reached a greater height with the stakeholders converging on a single platform at the 'UAE Days in Toscana', held in Pisa this weekend. The event marked the end of a long-wait for the traders who craved for striking deals to boost their fortunes.
In normal circumstances, Dubai-based Maryse Gedeon and Italy-based Giulia Pinzani would not have met personally for business talks, even though they were in touch on phone for more than three years. Similar is the case of UAE entrepreneurs Ibrahim Al Shekaili and Najah Hussain Al Muntafiq.
The event helped them realise their long-cherished dream. Organised by Abu Dhabi-based Shaikh Khalifa Fund and Sistemaeventi, the four-day-long business initiative gave many UAE residents a chance to bond with Italian entrepreneurs for the first time and also strike various deals.
The exercise aimed at creating synergies between the two countries drew more than 630 people from UAE to Toscana. It also featured an endurance race event wherein UAE made a clean sweep in all four races. "Though I have been in contact with Mahesh over more than four years, I never had the opportunity to meet him personally. The UAE Days in Toscana offered me this opportunity. That apart, interaction with the Italian clients was also a wonderful experience. I hope to start forging ties with them soon," Maryse told the Khaleej Times.
Al Shekaili also praised the UAE government for promoting business by organising trips to foreign countries for its entrepreneurs. "I think it's a win-win situation for both UAE and Italian entrepreneurs. The one-to-one interaction with buyers and sellers allowed flexibility on the fixation of price too as the possibility of middlemen is totally ruled out. Hats off to the UAE government for such exposure trips which they conduct year after year," he said.
A seminar titled 'How to make business in UAE' was also conducted. It drew a full house response with more than 100 Italian entrepreneurs in attendance.
Mauro Marzocchi, secretary of Italian Chamber of Commerce in the UAE, termed it a rosy picture for trade ties between the two countries. Italy is the third-ranked European country after Germany and the UK and ahead of France in terms of volume of exports to the UAE. Around ?5.2 billion of exports were registered in 2014 from a total of ?12.5 billion to the Gulf region. Mauro hoped the number will surely increase this year. "With Milan Expo 2015 handing the torch to the UAE, which will host the event in 2020, there is a common link between the two countries. UAE is also in focus as it serves as a world market with several nationals residing there. And above all, even though it is holiday time in Italy, many entrepreneurs turned up for the event which points towards more business," he added.
The UAE, on its part, made a strong presentation portraying itself as a hub for business. Mohammed Matter Al Shamsi of the Khalifa Fund was at hand to clear all doubts on doing business in the UAE. With Saqer Nasser Al Raisi, UAE ambassador in Italy, also pitching in his support, it was music to the ears of every Italian entrepreneurs present.
The business promotion exercise, according to Maurizio Manzati of Emintad, which has firms in Dubai, New York and Hong Kong, will open the UAE doors to new Italian entrepreneurs. "I believe there is no place like UAE to do trade with the government playing a key role in creating a new role for entrepreneurs. So also, Dubai Expo 2020 will also draw more business to UAE and this event is a right step in that direction," he added.

|There were "old" features in your gua (hexagram). It means that you have two hexagrams. The first one — is something that the Book tells you at the moment, the second is something it warns you about.
16. Providing-For (yù). Enthusiasm
If time and circumstances favor you, do not create difficulties artificially. Be able to comply with the measure, even in joy.
Inital text of I Ching
Enthusiasm. It furthers one to install helpers and to set armies marching.
Thunder comes resounding out of the earth:
The image of Enthusiasm. Thus the ancient kings made music in order to honor merit, and offered it with splendor to the Supreme Deity, inviting their ancestors to be present.
- Enthusiasm that expresses itself Brings misfortune.
- Firm as a rock. Not a whole day. Perseverance brings good fortune.
- Enthusiasm that looks upward creates remorse. Hesitation brings remorse.
- The source of enthusiasm. He achieves great things. Doubt not. You gather friends around you as a hair clasp gathers the hair.
- Persistently ill, and still does not die.
- Deluded enthusiasm. But if after completion one changes, there is no blame.
It is start of a new cycle of development. It is time of activity, creativity, willingness to act due to free rush instead of pressure of circumstances. A feeling of joy is everywhere. Learn how to curb you in order to freedom does not become a tyranny; otherwise it will give rise to chaos. Be honest, kind, fair and do not indulge pride. Move to a clear road; do not go in all directions at once. Do not hurry time. Enjoying your life, remember moderation.
The strong line in the fourth place, that of the leading official, meets with
response and obedience from all the other lines, which are all weak. The
attribute of the upper trigram, Chên, is movement; the attributes of K'un, the
lower, are obedience and devotion. This begins a movement that meets with
devotion and therefore inspires enthusiasm, carrying all with it. Of great
importance, furthermore, is the law of movement along the line of least
resistance, which in this hexagram is enunciated as the law for natural events
and for human life.
The time of ENTHUSIASM derives from the fact that there is at hand an
eminent man who is in sympathy with the spirit of the people and acts in
accord with it. Hence he finds universal and willing obedience. To arouse
enthusiasm it is necessary for a man to adjust himself and his ordinances to
the character of those whom he has to lead. The inviolability of natural laws
rests on this principle of movement along the line of least resistance. Theses
laws are not forces external to things but represent the harmony of
movement immanent in them. That is why the celestial bodies do not
deviate from their orbits and why all events in nature occur with fixed
regularity. It is the same with human society: only such laws are rooted in
popular sentiment can be enforced, while laws violating this sentiment
merely arouse resentment.
Again, it is enthusiasm that enables us to install helpers for the completion
of an undertaking without fear of secret opposition. It is enthusiasm too that
can unify mass movements, as in war, so that they achieve victory.
When, at the beginning of summer, thunder - electrical energy - comes
rushing forth from the earth again, and the first thunderstorm refreshes
nature, a prolonged state of tension is resolved. Joy and relief make
themselves felt. So too, music has power to ease tension within the heart and
to loosen the grip of obscure emotions. The enthusiasm of the heart
expresses itself involuntarily in a burst of song, in dance and rhythmic
movement of the body. From immemorial times the inspiring effect of the
invisible sound that moves all hearts, and draws them together, has mystified
Rulers have made use of this natural taste for music; they elevated and
regulated it. Music was looked upon as something serious and holy, designed
to purify the feelings of men. It fell to music to glorify the virtues of heroes
and thus to construct a bridge to the world of the unseen. In the temple men
drew near to God with music and pantomimes (out of this later the theater
developed). Religious feeling for the Creator of the world was united with
the most sacred of human feelings, that of reverence for the ancestors. The
ancestors were invited to these divine services as guests of the Ruler of
Heaven and as representatives of humanity in the higher regions. This
uniting of the human past with the Divinity in solemn moments of
religious inspiration established the bond between God and man. The ruler
who revered the Divinity in revering his ancestors became thereby the Son of
Heaven, in whom the heavenly and the earthly world met in mystical
These ideas are the final summation of Chinese culture. Confucius has said
of the great sacrifice at which these rites were performed: "He who could
wholly comprehend this sacrifice could rule the world as though it were
spinning on his hand."
A man in an inferior position has aristocratic connections about which he
boasts enthusiastically. This arrogance inevitably invites misfortune.
Enthusiasm should never be an egotistic emotion; it is justified only when it
is a general feeling that unites one with others.
This describes a person who does not allow himself to be misled by any
illusions. While others are letting themselves be dazzled by enthusiasm, he
recognizes with perfect clarity the first signs of the time. Thus he neither
flatters those above nor neglects those beneath him; he is as firm as a rock.
When the first sign of discord appears, he knows the right moment for
withdrawing and does not delay even for a day. Perseverance in such conduct
will bring good fortune. Confucius says about this line:
To know the seeds, that is divine indeed. In his association with those above
him, the superior man does not flatter. In his association with those beneath
him, he is not arrogant. For he knows the seeds. The seeds are the first
imperceptible beginning of movement, the first trace of good fortune (or
misfortune) that shows itself. The superior man perceives the seeds and
immediately takes actin. He does not wait even a whole day. In the Book of
Changes it is said: "Firm as a rock. Not a whole day. Perseverance brings
This line is the opposite of the preceding one: the latter bespeaks self-reliance,
while here there is enthusiastic looking up to a leader. If a man hesitates too
long, this also will bring remorse. The right moment for approach must be
seized: only then will he do the right thing.
This describes a man who is able to awaken enthusiasm through his own
sureness and freedom from hesitation. He attracts people because he has no
doubts and is wholly sincere. Owing to his confidence in them he wins their
enthusiastic co-operation and attains success. Just as a clasp draws the hair
together and hold it, so he draws man together by the support he gives them.
Here enthusiasm is obstructed. A man is under constant pressure, which
prevents him from breathing freely. However, this pressure has its
advantage--it prevents him from consuming his powers in empty
enthusiasm. Thus constant pressure can actually serve to keep one alive.
It is a bad thing for a man to let himself be deluded by enthusiasm. But if this
delusion has run its course, and he is still capable of changing, then he is
freed of error. A sober awakening from false enthusiasm is quite possible and
Barbara Hejslip interpretation
Your sun already ascends; as long you waited success, and here now it is absolutely close. Now time has to different hobbies - do not take a great interest in them without a measure. The success will soon come to you; be ready to it. And in realization of your plans, and even in game you will be accompanied with success. In any way it is impossible to be petty and mercantile, going on a way of success. But also it is not necessary to spend more that receive. Wait a little - and your desires will be executed.
55. Abounding (fēng). Abundance
Wealth brings joy only to those who can share it. Do not be afraid to run out of it - wasting gold to good things, you are growing with spiritual power. Even if wasting all, life will provide an opportunity to correct everything.
Inital text of I Ching
Abundance has success. The king attains abundance. Be not sad. Be like the sun at midday.
Both thunder and lightning come:
The image of Abundance. Thus the superior man decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.
- When a man meets his destined ruler, they can be together ten days, and it is not a mistake. Going meets with recognition.
- The curtain is of such fullness that the polestars can be seen at noon. Through going one meets with mistrust and hate. If one rouses him through truth, good fortune comes.
- The underbrush is of such abundance that the small stars can be seen at noon. He breaks his right arm. No blame.
- The curtain is of such fullness that the polestars can be seen at noon. He meets his ruler, who is of like kind. Good fortune.
- Lines are coming, blessing and fame draw near. Good fortune.
- His house is in a state of abundance. He screens off his family. He peers through the gate and no longer perceives anyone. For three years he sees nothing. Misfortune.
The palace was built and filled with treasures. The situation is favorable as never before. Success and profit are everywhere. Be generous and do not worry about the decrease in wealth. Hurry to do good things. Hospitality, sacrifice, extravagance – all is in favor: you will get new friends, strengthen your positions. But be prepared to answer for their actions. Do not be proud of his success and wealth - always think that the main treasure is in soul. Remember that the harvest is always replaced by winter, when it is silly to wait for fruit - this should not make you sad.
Chên is movement; Li is flame, whose attribute is clarity. Clarity within,
movement without-this produces greatness and abundance. The hexagram
pictures a period of advanced civilization. However, the fact that
development has reached a peak suggests that this extraordinary condition of
abundance cannot be maintained permanently.
It is not given to every mortal to bring about a time of outstanding greatness
and abundance. Only a born ruler of men is able to do it, because his will is
directed to what is great. Such a time of abundance is usually brief. Therefore
a sage might well feel sad in view of the decline that must follow. But such
sadness foes not befit him. Only a man who is inwardly free of sorrow and
care can lead in a time of abundance. He must be like the sun at midday,
illuminating and gladdening everything under heaven.
This hexagram has a certain connection with Shih Ho, BITING THROUGH
(21), in which thunder and lightning similarly appear together, but in the
reverse order. In BITING THROUGH, laws are laid down; here they are
applied and enforced. Clarity (Li) within makes it possible to investigate the
facts exactly, and shock (Chên) without ensures a strict and precise carrying
out of punishments.
To bring about a time of abundance, a union of clarity with energetic
movement is needed. Two individuals possessed of these two attributes are
suited to each other, and even if they spend an entire cycle of time together
during the period of abundance, it will not be too long, nor is it a mistake.
Therefore one may go forth, in order to make one's influence felt; it will meet
It often happens that plots and party intrigues, which have the darkening
effect of an eclipse of the sun, come between a ruler intent on great
achievement and the man who could effect great undertakings. Then,
instead of the sun, we see the northern stars in the sky. The ruler is
overshadowed by a party that has usurped power. If a man at such a time
were to try to take energetic measures, he would encounter only mistrust and
envy, which would prohibit all movement. The essential thing then is to
hold inwardly to the power of truth, which in the end is so strong that it
exerts an invisible influence on the ruler, so that all goes well.
The image is that of a progressive covering over of the sun. Here the eclipse
reaches totality, therefore even the small stars can be seen at noon.
In the sphere of social relationships, this means that the prince is now so
eclipsed that even the most insignificant persons can push themselves into
the foreground. This makes it impossible for an able man, though he might
be the right hand of the ruler, to undertake anything. It is as though his arm
were broken, but he is not to blame for being thus hindered in action.
Here the darkness is already decreasing, therefore interrelated elements come
together. Here too the complement must be found-the necessary wisdom to
complement joy of action. Then everything will go well. The
complementary factor postulated here is the reverse of the one in the first
line. In the latter, wisdom is to be complemented by energy, while here
energy is complemented by wisdom.
The ruler is modest and therefore open to the counsel of able men. Thus he
is surrounded by men who suggest to him the lines of action. This brings
blessing, fame, and good fortune to him and all the people.
This describes a man who because of his arrogance and obstinacy attains the
opposite of what he strives for. He seeks abundance and splendor for his
dwelling. He wishes at all odds to be master in his house, which so alienates
his family that in the end he finds himself completely isolated.
Barbara Hejslip interpretation
Symbol of this hexagram - an autumn harvest, gathering of a rich crop. It means, that your happy star brightly shines your way. Your business go stably and successfully. Probably, in the future they will go even better. Remember, that you always need to be well informed about all events. Do not forget and about economy, try to save money gradually. This time is especially favorable for employment by an agriculture, and also art. However absolutely there is no confidence that your desires will be executed though now you are accompanied obviously with success.
