An issue that comes up rather frequently for new installations of Kubernetes is
that Services
are not working properly. You’ve run all your Pod
s and
ReplicationController
s, but you get no response when you try to access them.
This document will hopefully help you to figure out what’s going wrong.
Throughout this doc you will see various commands that you can run. Some
commands need to be run within Pod
, others on a Kubernetes Node
, and others
can run anywhere you have kubectl
and credentials for the cluster. To make it
clear what is expected, this document will use the following conventions.
If the command “COMMAND” is expected to run in a Pod
and produce “OUTPUT”:
u@pod$ COMMAND
OUTPUT
If the command “COMMAND” is expected to run on a Node
and produce “OUTPUT”:
u@node$ COMMAND
OUTPUT
If the command is “kubectl ARGS”:
$ kubectl ARGS
OUTPUT
For many steps here you will want to see what a Pod
running in the cluster
sees. Kubernetes does not directly support interactive Pod
s (yet), but you can
approximate it:
$ cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: busybox-sleep
spec:
containers:
- name: busybox
image: busybox
args:
- sleep
- "1000000"
EOF
pods/busybox-sleep
Now, when you need to run a command (even an interactive shell) in a Pod
-like
context, use:
$ kubectl exec busybox-sleep -- <COMMAND>
or
$ kubectl exec -ti busybox-sleep sh
/ #
For the purposes of this walk-through, let’s run some Pod
s. Since you’re
probably debugging your own Service
you can substitute your own details, or you
can follow along and get a second data point.
$ kubectl run hostnames --image=gcr.io/google_containers/serve_hostname \
--labels=app=hostnames \
--port=9376 \
--replicas=3
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
hostnames hostnames gcr.io/google_containers/serve_hostname app=hostnames 3
Note that this is the same as if you had started the ReplicationController
with
the following YAML:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
name: hostnames
spec:
selector:
app: hostnames
replicas: 3
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: hostnames
spec:
containers:
- name: hostnames
image: gcr.io/google_containers/serve_hostname
ports:
- containerPort: 9376
protocol: TCP
Confirm your Pod
s are running:
$ kubectl get pods -l app=hostnames
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hostnames-0uton 1/1 Running 0 12s
hostnames-bvc05 1/1 Running 0 12s
hostnames-yp2kp 1/1 Running 0 12s
The astute reader will have noticed that we did not actually create a Service
yet - that is intentional. This is a step that sometimes gets forgotten, and
is the first thing to check.
So what would happen if I tried to access a non-existent Service
? Assuming you
have another Pod
that consumes this Service
by name you would get something
like:
u@pod$ wget -qO- hostnames
wget: bad address 'hostname'
or:
u@pod$ echo $HOSTNAMES_SERVICE_HOST
So the first thing to check is whether that Service
actually exists:
$ kubectl get svc hostnames
Error from server: service "hostnames" not found
So we have a culprit, let’s create the Service
. As before, this is for the
walk-through - you can use your own Service
’s details here.
$ kubectl expose rc hostnames --port=80 --target-port=9376
service "hostnames" exposed
And read it back, just to be sure:
$ kubectl get svc hostnames
NAME CLUSTER_IP EXTERNAL_IP PORT(S) SELECTOR AGE
hostnames <IP_ADDRESS> <none> 80/TCP run=hostnames 1h
As before, this is the same as if you had started the Service
with YAML:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: hostnames
spec:
selector:
app: hostnames
ports:
- name: default
protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 9376
Now you can confirm that the Service
exists.
From a Pod
in the same Namespace
:
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames
Server: <IP_ADDRESS>
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>#53
Name: hostnames
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>
If this fails, perhaps your Pod
and Service
are in different
Namespace
s, try a namespace-qualified name:
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames.default
Server: <IP_ADDRESS>
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>#53
Name: hostnames.default
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>
If this works, you’ll need to ensure that Pod
s and Service
s run in the same
Namespace
. If this still fails, try a fully-qualified name:
u@pod$ nslookup hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Server: <IP_ADDRESS>
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>#53
Name: hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>
Note the suffix here: “default.svc.cluster.local”. The “default” is the
Namespace
we’re operating in. The “svc” denotes that this is a Service
.
The “cluster.local” is your cluster domain.
You can also try this from a Node
in the cluster (note: <IP_ADDRESS> is my DNS
Service
):
u@node$ nslookup hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local <IP_ADDRESS>
Server: <IP_ADDRESS>
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>#53
Name: hostnames.default.svc.cluster.local
Address: <IP_ADDRESS>
If you are able to do a fully-qualified name lookup but not a relative one, you
need to check that your kubelet
is running with the right flags.
The --cluster-dns
flag needs to point to your DNS Service
’s IP and the
--cluster-domain
flag needs to be your cluster’s domain - we assumed
“cluster.local” in this document, but yours might be different, in which case
you should change that in all of the commands above.
If the above still fails - DNS lookups are not working for your Service
- we
can take a step back and see what else is not working. The Kubernetes master
Service
should always work:
u@pod$ nslookup kubernetes.default
Server: <IP_ADDRESS>
Address 1: <IP_ADDRESS>
Name: kubernetes
Address 1: <IP_ADDRESS>
If this fails, you might need to go to the kube-proxy section of this doc, or
even go back to the top of this document and start over, but instead of
debugging your own Service
, debug DNS.
The next thing to test is whether your Service
works at all. From a
Node
in your cluster, access the Service
’s IP (from kubectl get
above).
u@node$ curl <IP_ADDRESS>:80
hostnames-0uton
u@node$ curl <IP_ADDRESS>:80
hostnames-yp2kp
u@node$ curl <IP_ADDRESS>:80
hostnames-bvc05
If your Service
is working, you should get correct responses. If not, there
are a number of things that could be going wrong. Read on.
It might sound silly, but you should really double and triple check that your
Service
is correct and matches your Pods
. Read back your Service
and
verify it:
$ kubectl get service hostnames -o json
{
"kind": "Service",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "hostnames",
"namespace": "default",
"selfLink": "/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/hostnames",
"uid": "428c8b6c-24bc-11e5-936d-42010af0a9bc",
"resourceVersion": "347189",
"creationTimestamp": "2015-07-07T15:24:29Z",
"labels": {
"app": "hostnames"
}
},
"spec": {
"ports": [
{
"name": "default",
"protocol": "TCP",
"port": 80,
"targetPort": 9376,
"nodePort": 0
}
],
"selector": {
"app": "hostnames"
},
"clusterIP": "<IP_ADDRESS>",
"type": "ClusterIP",
"sessionAffinity": "None"
},
"status": {
"loadBalancer": {}
}
}
Is the port you are trying to access in spec.ports[]
? Is the targetPort
correct for your Pod
s? If you meant it to be a numeric port, is it a number
(9376) or a string “9376”? If you meant it to be a named port, do your Pod
s
expose a port with the same name? Is the port’s protocol
the same as the
Pod
’s?
If you got this far, we assume that you have confirmed that your Service
exists and resolves by DNS. Now let’s check that the Pod
s you ran are
actually being selected by the Service
.
Earlier we saw that the Pod
s were running. We can re-check that:
$ kubectl get pods -l app=hostnames
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hostnames-0uton 1/1 Running 0 1h
hostnames-bvc05 1/1 Running 0 1h
hostnames-yp2kp 1/1 Running 0 1h
The “AGE” column says that these Pod
s are about an hour old, which implies that
they are running fine and not crashing.
The -l app=hostnames
argument is a label selector - just like our Service
has. Inside the Kubernetes system is a control loop which evaluates the
selector of every Service
and save the results into an Endpoints
object.
$ kubectl get endpoints hostnames
NAME ENDPOINTS
hostnames <IP_ADDRESS>:9376,<IP_ADDRESS>:9376,<IP_ADDRESS>:9376
This confirms that the control loop has found the correct Pod
s for your
Service
. If the hostnames
row is blank, you should check that the
spec.selector
field of your Service
actually selects for metadata.labels
values on your Pod
s.
At this point, we know that your Service
exists and has selected your Pod
s.
Let’s check that the Pod
s are actually working - we can bypass the Service
mechanism and go straight to the Pod
s.
u@pod$ wget -qO- <IP_ADDRESS>:9376
hostnames-0uton
pod $ wget -qO- <IP_ADDRESS>:9376
hostnames-bvc05
u@pod$ wget -qO- <IP_ADDRESS>:9376
hostnames-yp2kp
We expect each Pod
in the Endpoints
list to return its own hostname. If
this is not what happens (or whatever the correct behavior is for your own
Pod
s), you should investigate what’s happening there. You might find
kubectl logs
to be useful or kubectl exec
directly to your Pod
s and check
service from there.
If you get here, your Service
is running, has Endpoints
, and your Pod
s
are actually serving. At this point, the whole Service
proxy mechanism is
suspect. Let’s confirm it, piece by piece.
Confirm that kube-proxy
is running on your Node
s. You should get something
like the below:
u@node$ ps auxw | grep kube-proxy
root 4194 0.4 0.1<PHONE_NUMBER>6 ? Sl Jul04 25:43 /usr/local/bin/kube-proxy --master=https://kubernetes-master --kubeconfig=/var/lib/kube-proxy/kubeconfig --v=2
Next, confirm that it is not failing something obvious, like contacting the
master. To do this, you’ll have to look at the logs. Accessing the logs
depends on your Node
OS. On some OSes it is a file, such as
/var/log/kube-proxy.log, while other OSes use journalctl
to access logs. You
should see something like:

If you see error messages about not being able to contact the master, you
should double-check your Node
configuration and installation steps.
One of the main responsibilities of kube-proxy
is to write the iptables
rules which implement Service
s. Let’s check that those rules are getting
written.
u@node$ iptables-save | grep hostnames
-A KUBE-PORTALS-CONTAINER -d <IP_ADDRESS>/32 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:default" -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 48577
-A KUBE-PORTALS-HOST -d <IP_ADDRESS>/32 -p tcp -m comment --comment "default/hostnames:default" -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:48577
There should be 2 rules for each port on your Service
(just one in this
example) - a “KUBE-PORTALS-CONTAINER” and a “KUBE-PORTALS-HOST”. If you do
not see these, try restarting kube-proxy
with the -V
flag set to 4, and
then look at the logs again.
Assuming you do see the above rules, try again to access your Service
by IP:
u@node$ curl <IP_ADDRESS>:80
hostnames-0uton
If this fails, we can try accessing the proxy directly. Look back at the
iptables-save
output above, and extract the port number that kube-proxy
is
using for your Service
. In the above examples it is “48577”. Now connect to
that:
u@node$ curl localhost:48577
hostnames-yp2kp
If this still fails, look at the kube-proxy
logs for specific lines like:
Setting endpoints for default/hostnames:default to [<IP_ADDRESS>:9376 <IP_ADDRESS>:9376 <IP_ADDRESS>:9376]
If you don’t see those, try restarting kube-proxy
with the -V
flag set to 4, and
then look at the logs again.
If you get this far, something very strange is happening. Your Service
is
running, has Endpoints
, and your Pod
s are actually serving. You have DNS
working, iptables
rules installed, and kube-proxy
does not seem to be
misbehaving. And yet your Service
is not working. You should probably let
us know, so we can help investigate!

Amid the NCP face-off between Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar, NCP Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule, on Sunday shared her father's iconic Satara rally photo. The photo showing the 79-year old Sharad Pawar drenched in rain as he addresses his supporters was captioned as 'This picture inspires us to fight lifelong'. Sule also hinted at her apparent displeasure and reluctance to take back her cousin Ajit Pawar into NCP's folds stating 'we will rebuild a stronger team'.
Here is Supriya Sule's Whatsapp status:

SC hearing on Maha govt
A three-judge Supreme Court bench Justice NV Ramana, Justice Ashok Bhushan and Justice Sanjiv Khanna will hear the petition filed by Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress challenging the Maharashtra Governor’s decision to invite Devendra Fadnavis for government formation in the state. The parties have contended that they should have been invited to form the government owing to their constituting a majority in the Assembly. They are also demanding an immediate floor test.
Currently, top NCP and Congress leaders are meeting NCP Supremo Sharad Pawar at his residence ahead of the Supreme Court hearing. Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar who has returned back to his residence has refused to return to NCP after NCP leader Dilip Walse Patil tried to convince him. Sources report that Sena MLAs are being shifted to JW Marriot where the Congress MLAs are present.
 Similarly, Shiv Sena has holed up its MLAs in Hotel Lalit, Andheri. Congress on the other hand, has kept its MLAs in the JW Marriott hotel. Meanwhile, sources report that Ajit Pawar himself will challenge NCP's decision to sack him as leader of the NCP Legislative Party leader. He was replaced by Jayant Patil.

Pulling the biggest surprise in Maharashtra politics, Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra in the presence of Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhawan around 8 AM. NCP leader Ajit Pawar was sworn in as his Deputy CM. But NCP Supremo Sharad Pawar has distanced himself from Ajit Pawar, saying it was Ajit Pawar 's own decision and not NCP's. Currently, BJP leads with 105 seats, NCP with 54 seats, Shiv Sena with 56 seats and Congress with 44 seats. The halfway mark in 144 in the 288 seat-Assembly.

COLLECTIONS
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data…
— Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlett (Arthur Conan Doyle)
Data Shaping and Transformation patterns are needed to mold data in forms particularized for analysis tasks. When french philosopher Gilles Deleuze wrote in his book The Fold:
The model for the sciences of matter is the “origami” as the Japanese philospher might say, or the art of folding paper.X (page 7)
This idea conveys the purpose of transform patterns which are applied as forms of origami to fold data structures into useful constructs for analysis. These patterns are derived from technological developments in online analytical processing (OLAP). OLAP methods provide techniques for a form of data origami which enables analysts to create data shapes known as “cubes” and perform useful operations.
Shaping by Dimension
A data cube allows data to be modelled and viewed in multiple dimensions. Although we usually think of cubes as three dimension structures, a data cube may be n-dimensional. It is defined by a structure which organizes information into dimensions and measures corresponding to the independent and dependent variables of focus.
The structure of a data cube describes how your data gets transformed from a organized representation. This structure enables you to defi ne how to perform operations to aggregate, count, average and other functions such as drill-up and drill-down. Each of the elements of a dimension could be summarized using a hierarchy. Using these hierarchies, the analyst can explore and analyze the data cube at multiple meaningful levels of aggregation such as region.
Dimensions are the perspectives on which you want to characterize your data based on your system model. These attributes serve as the primary source for querying and grouping. Measures are the numeric facts of a dimension such as gross domestic product or literacy rate. For example, countries may be a dimension, while the population of each country is a measure.
Transform and Query Operations
Using data cubes, you can navigate through data structures, change the data’s orientations and define analytical calculations. The user-initiated process of navigating by calling for page displays interactively, through the specifi cation of slices via rotations and drill down/up is sometimes called “slice and dice”. Common operations include slice and dice, drill down, roll up, and pivot. These operations are extremely useful to …

Speech
Ofsted's Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, spoke at the Education Policy Institute conference and reflects on the past 5 years.
Thank you for that introduction David and thank you for inviting me to your conference today.
As I approach the final few weeks of my term as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, I have naturally found myself in a more than usually reflective frame of mind. It has certainly been a tumultuous 5 years – occasionally turbulent, sometimes exhilarating but never, ever dull.
I have said many times that the reason I took this job in the first place was because Ofsted had been fundamental to my work as a headteacher to drive up standards. Without Ofsted, I wouldn’t have been as successful in tackling deep-seated problems and entrenched attitudes in the schools that I led in London. Inspection is a powerful lever for improvement. Talk to any decent headteacher and they would tell you the same.
That is why any move away from routine, independent inspection and a judgement-based model, in my view, risks jeopardising the higher standards that we have all striven so hard to achieve.
Every headteacher I have ever met wants to know whether their school is good or not. Every parent I have ever met wants to know whether their child is likely to get a good education at their school or not. Neither are interested in a woolly narrative – both want certainty and clarity about how the school is doing.
That is why our judgements have to be secure and based on strong evidence. You have questioned the security of some of our judgements in your recent report. I absolutely accept that Ofsted should be as open to scrutiny as the providers we inspect – indeed, even more so. But I have to say that I take issue with many of your conclusions. I believe that the basic premise of your report is flawed. So let me explain why.
First, and most importantly, you have looked at data and inspection judgements over a 9-year period, all the way back to 2005. Over that period, there have been 5 Chief Inspectors, 4 Prime Ministers, 3 administrations and a variety of inspection frameworks reflecting not only government and Ofsted priorities but also the rising expectations of the nation. Your report does not compare like with like.
The main problem is that in covering such a long period, the report fails to take account of important legislative changes and the numerous amendments by successive governments to measurements of attainment and progress.
In particular, it masks the impact of the decision I took early in my tenure to shift our emphasis from pupil attainment to pupil progress. Our data, which we monitor regularly, shows that the expectation for progress now placed on schools in disadvantaged areas is virtually identical to those in the most affluent areas.
Let me restate that last sentence because it is important. Our data from the last few years of inspection shows that the expectation for progress now placed on schools in disadvantaged areas is virtually identical to those in the most affluent areas.
It becomes even more misleading when we remember that the government took the decision to exempt outstanding schools from routine inspection. As a result, there remain a stock of schools that have not been inspected for many years.
These schools will have been last inspected under one of the previous inspection frameworks that placed greater emphasis on attainment than the current framework does. If we were able to routinely inspect these schools today, it is entirely possible that, with the greater emphasis in the current inspection framework on progress, we would find some of these schools to be good rather than outstanding.
But the coalition government, when they passed this legislation, only wanted Ofsted to return to outstanding schools when we saw a significant decline in their performance.
This brings me to my other concern about the report, when it suggests that Ofsted does not always re-inspect quickly enough schools that decline and that when we do go back to these schools, our judgements should be harsher.
The author managed to find 34 outstanding primary schools and just 3 outstanding secondary schools that had deteriorated according to the EPI measure but that haven’t been re-inspected.
I admit that in an ideal world, I would like to have seen these schools inspected. However, the fact that these represent 1.1% of outstanding primary schools and 0.4% of outstanding secondary schools, means I am not convinced that inspecting them to find they may have dropped to good is necessarily the best use of our diminishing resources.
And should we be harsher when we return? While the EPI’s single value-added measure suggests we should be, I have tried to encourage my inspectors to use their professional judgement. Inspection, after all, is not painting by numbers.
It would be easy enough to set up what might be considered an entirely consistent evaluation system, based purely on published data. We could do that on a laptop plugged into the Whitehall intranet and save nearly £40 million per year.
Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be any good for the hundreds of schools with small cohorts of children for whom the data is at best inconclusive and, at worst, often meaningless in terms of wider comparison.
It wouldn’t identify when an excellent new leadership team was starting to turn things round, but this was not yet reflected in published outcomes.
It wouldn’t tell us about the culture and ethos for learning or about the efforts being made to provide a truly broad and balanced curriculum for pupils.
It also wouldn’t tell us when schools were providing a low-tariff, dumbed-down curriculum that was failing to stretch the most able.
And it certainly wouldn’t tell us where there was significant low-level disruption in the school or when children were being exposed to bullying or were at risk from radicalisation or other forms of abuse.
Finally, before I move on from the report, I should make clear that even under our current inspection framework, with its greater emphasis on progress, we still won’t judge a school to be outstanding unless the pupils are making both ‘high’ progress from their starting points and attaining results that are ‘broadly in line with national averages’ or, if below national averages, are ‘improving rapidly’.
Let me emphasise this point: if these broad criteria are not met, a school can still be judged good but not outstanding. This was a deliberate decision that we took when drawing up the current framework.
Why did we take this decision? We took it because we should never try to make excuses for schools, even those in challenging circumstances. As an inner-London headteacher, I would have felt frankly insulted if I thought Ofsted was somehow going easy on the schools I led simply because many of the kids came from difficult homes. I wanted us to be judged on equal terms with the very best comprehensive schools in the country – schools, and there are many of them now, that were attaining highly against the national benchmark, regardless of catchment area.
After all, I knew that once they’d left school, my pupils would have to compete for jobs with young people from all backgrounds. I understood that employers were unlikely to make much allowance for their upbringing when considering their GCSE results, so neither should I.
The same holds true today. It is not Ofsted’s job to artificially lower the bar. Doing so would damage, not improve, social mobility. We would also be doing a grave disservice to those many headteachers right across the country who are showing what can be done in areas of significant social and economic disadvantage.
People like Kevin Blakey of East Point Academy in Lowestoft, Nadine Carroll of Whitefield Primary School in Liverpool, Barbara Conroy of Queenborough School on the Isle of Sheppey, Dawn Parkinson of Beaumont Leys School in Leicester and Mark Hassack of Outwood Academy Acklam in Middlesbrough.
Neither am I prepared to let the government off the hook for failing to heed the recommendation I made in my ‘Access and achievement’ report 4 years ago that we need many more good leaders and teachers – and we need to direct them to the places where they are needed most.
Having said all this about your report, I am very clear that it is the job of every Chief Inspector to ensure that inspection is credible and robust, particularly when challenging the system to do better.
That is why I have devoted so much time and energy over my tenure to pushing through important reforms to inspection and creating a tighter, leaner, more finely tuned organisation.
So let me remind you of what we have done during the 5 years I have been Chief Inspector.
We have established clear lines of accountability through a new regional structure. Eight Ofsted regional directors working with national remit directors are now responsible for SHMI, HMI, regulatory inspectors and Ofsted Inspectors across each remit and in each region. This has brought a new coherence to Ofsted and helped to gather and disseminate intelligence on what is working and not working in each part of the country.
We have improved the quality and consistency of inspection by:
We have also simplified our inspection frameworks and handbooks, and adapted them to accommodate my priorities and those of government and the nation. Hence the increased focus on the most able, the most disadvantaged children, British values, the relevance of the further education curriculum, the journey of the vulnerable child from identification into care and so on.
We have introduced a more proportionate inspection model for good schools in order to focus more sharply on those schools that are struggling.
We have ensured that the leadership judgement is now the first, rather than the last, judgement on every report because we all know that everything flows from good leadership.
We have reduced bureaucracy and worked hard to dispel the myths about what Ofsted expects. For example:
we do not have a preferred style of teaching and we certainly don’t mark down formal, structured, ‘traditional’ teaching; we are much more interested in the impact of teaching on progress and outcomes
we no longer grade individual lessons but do expect headteachers to have an accurate knowledge of what is happening in the classroom
we don’t insist on seeing mountains of paperwork, but we do want to see lessons that are well structured and planned and where children are focused on their learning
finally, we have ensured that our reports are clear, concise and easy to read – particularly for parents; compare for yourself our reports now, particularly the letters to parents following the inspection of good schools, to those of yesteryear
It is worth remembering that we have been able to do all this against a backdrop of rapidly shrinking resources.
Making these important changes has enabled me to do full justice to the 2 important functions of the Chief Inspector.
First, to challenge the system.
There is no question in my mind that the system as a whole has responded positively to our tougher frameworks.
My decision early on to scrap the satisfactory grade and replace it with requires improvement was undoubtedly challenging and greeted with a great deal of sound and fury at the time. But it was unquestionably the right step to take because it has ramped up expectations and galvanised many schools to do significantly better.
The figures speak for themselves. At the point when we brought in the new grade in September 2012, there were 4,800 primary schools that were judged to be satisfactory. Many had been content to coast along carrying the satisfactory label year after year, inspection after inspection. Today, 77% of those schools have improved to good or outstanding. There were 933 satisfactory secondary schools 4 years ago. Today, 56% of them are now good or outstanding.
And remember, this improving picture has disproportionately helped children in the most deprived areas. Challenge has also meant shining a spotlight on underperforming areas of the country in a way that had never really been done before. As a result of doing so, we are seeing signs of real progress being made in places like Norfolk, Coventry and Middlesbrough and many others where Ofsted has previously publicly identified low school standards.
The second function of the Chief Inspector is to provide a running commentary on standards. I hope people will say that I have done a reasonable job of raising awareness of some of the major educational challenges still facing us as a nation.
It is certainly the case that I have made it a key mission of mine to regularly highlight the problems that, to my mind, are still holding us back and require urgent attention. Let me remind you of some of these issues:
I’m aware that in bringing these issues and many others to public attention, I have been accused of being abrasive and rather too forthright at times. I prefer to regard it as plain-speaking and telling it as I see it on the basis of the evidence presented to me. I hope, at least, that people understand that I have been motivated by a passionate desire to improve the lives of children and young people, particularly the poor.
It has been a privilege to serve as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector and to have had the opportunity to play such a key part in raising standards. And, although there is still a long way to go, our schools have improved immeasurably and continue to improve.
I am also pleased that Ofsted itself, as the country’s most important regulator, has changed and adapted to meet higher expectations and greater demands over the past 5 years.
Of course, we don’t always get it right in the thousands of inspections we carry out each year. But I hope that we will always be big enough to acknowledge our mistakes, and to learn from them. I have certainly learned from mine and endeavoured to change inspection and my leadership of it when I’ve got it wrong.
What I won’t do, and have never done, is to compromise on the rigour of inspection and the high expectations that underpin all our frameworks.
We should never forget that Ofsted’s primary purpose will always be to champion the right of every child to a decent education. We know that parents rely on our findings for reassurance and to help them make choices about where to send their children.
Thank you for listening.

Hello!
This site (perhaps obviously) is still a work-in-progress, so check back later. I have quite a number of todos, including:
A bit about me: These days, I'm both a high school STEM teacher and a part-time researcher. I graduated from MIT with a B.S. in Physics in 2018, and went on to receive an M.Ed. at a new competency-based program in Cambridge. I've been working in classrooms, informal learning spaces & educational summer programs since 2014.
I am interested in metacognition and ultimately helping learners to both achieve their goals & become their best selves. I began my higher education believing I would go into astrophysics, but officially transitioned from the physical sciences to secondary education in my undergraduate senior year. A generalist at heart, I have studied linguistics, earth sciences, astronomy, literature, biology, and behavioral sciences; that said, my enduring passion has been & continues to be learning about learning.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning do to do afterward.

PERFECT BLUE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Manga Entertainment/Rex Entertainment Director: Satoshi Kon Screenplay: Sadayuki Murai, novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi Animation: Hideki Hamazu
Ordinarily one wouldn't compare a film like "Perfect Blue" to the highly publicized final film of Stanley Kubrick, "Eyes Wide Shut," but since the Kubrick epitaph opened just three weeks before the U.S. debut of Satoshi Kon's Japanese anime feature, one can't help noting at least a marginal similarity. In "Eyes Wide Shut," Tom Cruise's character, Dr. Bill Harford, is made privy to a provocative fantasy of his wife (played by Nicole Kidman).  Struck hard--as though he were living in pre-war Imperial Vienna rather than in contemporary Manhattan--the doctor becomes discombobulated, experiencing a virtual psychotic break. He wanders confused through some of New York's shadier streets, an alienated man who has lost his bearings, ending up in a mysterious Long Island mansion which is the site of a masked orgy to which he had not been invited. Kubrick invites the audience to determine whether Harford is actually experiencing his disaffection or whether he is merely an actor in a bad, bad dream.
"Perfect Blue" deals with a woman who goes through a similar ordeal. Like Dr. Harford, Mimi Kirigoe, is leading a solid life as an entertainer with the respect of both those near to her and of her followers. But a brief series of ill-fated encounters shatters her fragile spirit in much the way Harford is crushed by his wife's revelation, and she undergoes a period of deranged illusions which are so real to her that she can no longer tell the difference between delusion and actuality. As she regresses psychologically into violent episodes, she becomes convinced that she is no longer the victim of a madman's agenda but a murderer herself.
If the plot evokes for you Roman Polanski's "Repulsion"--that director's 1965 psychological shocker about the mental deterioration of a sexually repressed girl left alone in her sister's apartment for several days--you'd be on the money. There is one huge difference, however. "Perfect Blue" is wholly animated, a genre usually known in the U.S. for children's features by studios like Disney, Dreamworks, and Warner Bros., but in Japan a type of filming taken with deadly seriousness to display violent, shocking, psychologically compelling themes. Cognoscenti in the West may be familiar with Katsuhiro Otomo, currently the giant of this category, whose "Akira" adapted a Japanese comic-book sci-fi novel to the screen, depicting a group of motorcycle-riding, telekinetically-empowered teens living in a post-disaster Tokyo. Though "Akira" was produced ten years before "Perfect Blue," it shares the newer feature's technically spectacular excellence, but unlike "Perfect Blue," "Akira" sometimes is derailed by confusing storytelling.
Director Satoshi Kon brings Sadayuki Murai's screenplay (based on a novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi) to vivid life, splashing spectacularly vivid colors to the screen as he weaves the story of Mima Kirigoe--who at the age of 21 is a pop idol whose Spice-Girls-style singing group, Cham, is well-liked by their fans but whose records simply cannot make the top-100 charts. Persuaded to switch careers against the advice of her manager, she becomes an actress, is given a bit part in a TV detective drama, and is conned into taking part in more graphic pieces involving nudity, rape, and modeling for Playboy-style magazines. While her two partners who now perform as a duet in Cham become successful, Mima loses the moral support of her former fans, forfeits integrity in her own mind, and begins to deteriorate psychologically. She can no longer distinguish her role in the thrillers from the reality of her own life, is certain that she is being watched (someone has even created a Mima Kirigoe home page on the Internet with information that only she could have known), and while she appears to be stalked by a genuine psycho who has brutally stabbed several of her associates to death, she toys with the idea that she is herself an illusion.
Since Satoshi Kon is given only eighty minutes to tell this frightening story, he dispenses with casual development of Mima's character--which is all to the good. By getting right to the point, "Perfect Blue" moves forward quickly, compelling the audience to pay close attention to detail, to vet each action for clues. "Perfect Blue" delights in keeping us in the audience as off guard and clueless as its principal character. Like Mina we never know when the stalker's murderous moves on her are real, a figment of her imagination, or a component in the thriller she is staging for her TV audience. We are reminded of David Cronenberg's recent fantasy, "eXistenZ," in which Allegra Geller is plunged into an acid trip, keeping the audience without an indicator to which scenes are part of Allegra's journey and which represent her comeback to her actual life before the start of the experiment.
The title comes from the TV movie that has employed Mima as a performer, "Double Bind," which the staff calls "the looking-glass of Perfect Blue." "Perfect Blue" works so well as a psychological thriller that at times the audience can't be blamed for forgetting that no real people are acting in the movie. While the picture has been shown at festivals around the world, the U.S. appearances are in the English-dubbed version, a technique that does detract in the least from its effectiveness. One can't help thinking that the novelist is taking a stab at celebrity with its fleeting fame and ersatz ecstasy, illuminating in his story just why so many of the rich and famous wind up alcoholics, drug addicts, and suicides. He may, in addition, be criticizing the public for seeking thrills in the tastelessly erotic rather than in the more established qualities of fine fiction.
"Perfect Blue" will probably wind up screened exclusively in art houses, but this would be a shame. Few Americans have experienced animation except in movies principally for the kiddies (however well-realized). "Perfect Blue" is a fine antidote for moviegoers who are bored by both the formulaic and the naturalistic. The movie is resonant with adult themes, superbly vivid animation, and the excitement that a good thriller even if handicapped with human actors can provide.

Preparation time

Cooking time

Serves
Serves 4
A Nordic-inspired barley risotto topped with pickled onions, cabbage and fragrant seared salmon.
Preheat the oven to 110C/90C Fan/Gas ¼.
For the cabbage, pick off the green outer leaves and cut the stems off them. Cover and put in the fridge. Slice the rest of the cabbage into 1cm/½in strips and mix with the oil. Spread them out on a baking tray and dry in the oven for 12 hours. Keep the oven door ajar by 2.5cm/1inch.
For the pickled onions, heat the vinegar and sugar with 4 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over a medium heat. Put the red onions in a bowl, pour over the pickling liquid and leave to cool.
Blanch the green outer cabbage leaves in salted water for 1–2 minutes. Plunge into iced water and drain. Set aside.
For the creamed barley, bring the stock to a simmer. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and sauté the shallot and garlic until softened but not coloured. Add the barley and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the wine and simmer, stirring, until the liquid has been absorbed.
Add a ladleful of the stock and simmer, stirring again, until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding the stock in this way, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the barley is plump and tender. This should take about 15 minutes. Add the cheeses and stir until you have a smooth consistency. Season with salt.
Julienne the beetroot into matchsticks using a spiraliser or mandolin and season with salt. Slice the fennel thinly using a mandolin and rinse under cold water.
For the salmon, toast the spices in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until fragrant (keep an eye on them, you don’t want them burn). Blend in a spice grinder until you have a fine powder. Season the salmon with salt and coat in the spice powder. Heat a frying pan over a high heat and sear the salmon fillet for 10 seconds on each side. Allow to rest for a couple minutes before slicing into 25.cm/1in pieces.
Serve the creamed barley topped with the seared salmon, blanched cabbage, dried cabbage, pickled onions, beetroot noodles, crispy fennel, freshly grated horseradish and buttermilk, (if using).

Controlling Course Creation Permission
By default, Open edX only supports users with staff and/or superuser access to create a courses on the Studio or CMS. Another users can only edit content on available courses after they have been added as a course team.
But a user who does not have staff access can create a course when he has requested course creation access and has been approved by the administrator team. To request access to course creation, follow these steps.
-) Select the plus sign (+) icon to expand the Becoming a Course Creator in Studio field.
-) Select Request the Ability to Create Courses.
Administrator team will evaluates your request, when course creation permissions are granted, you are notified by email.
For administrator, follow these steps to follow up the request.
-) Go to course creator page (http://CMS-URL/admin/course_creators/coursecreator/), using cms admin url. Etc, your cms url is https://studio-mooc.example.com. For access course creator page, use this url https://studio-mooc.example.com/course_creators/coursecreator/.
-) Select the username.
-) Update the state, set state to granted if you want to allow the user to create courses.
Note for another state:
- unrequested : Users who have opened a studio, maybe the course team but don’t have access to create courses
- pending : Users who have requested course creation access
- granted : Users are allowed to create courses
- denied : Users are not allowed to create courses
-) Click Save
.
On the example above, user with username openedx101 has requested access course creation and then the administrator has grant it access, so when the user openedx101 open the studio it will look like this.
Note
- In order for notification of course creation requests to reach administrators, administrators or infrastructure teams need to add
STUDIO_REQUEST_EMAIL<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(change<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to platform administrator email) into the features configuration (cms.env.json
for ironwood versions and below.studio.yml
for juniper versions and above). - Users who have staff access can view all courses in the studio, while users who do not have staff access but have access create courses can only view their own courses or other courses after being added as a course team.

4/24 Email
Dear Lehman Colleagues:
You may have learned that Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez sent a memo to all CUNY college presidents this week. In that memo, he outlined CUNY’s developing response to the approved New York State budget, as well as the growing state and city revenue shortfalls due to COVID-19. Everyone knows that the entire nation is in an economic free fall at the moment. What we don’t know is whether we are attached to a bungee cord and poised for a rapid return to “normal,” or whether we will have to laboriously climb back to where we were before COVID-19 hit.
At the beginning of the budget season, New York State faced a $6 billion shortfall due to Medicaid costs. CUNY asked the state for an additional $136 million beyond fiscal year 2019-2020, or FY20, to cover the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), other mandatory costs, and new programmatic initiatives. We also pushed hard for funding to reduce or eliminate the TAP gap.
We are in a different world now, and the “flat” budget that became law on April 3rd added only $50 million for increased fringe benefit costs in the new CBA and other labor agreements. Coming as it did in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the budget that passed seemed better than we feared. But the budget bill included three dates, April 30, June 30 and December 31, when the state budget director can unilaterally modify the budget, based on actual state revenues.
The state budget director had recently projected an eight percent reduction in FY21 revenue, but this morning the Governor projected a $13.3 billion revenue drop, which is 14 percent. These are estimates based on the current situation, and do not assume a federal stimulus package that would include payments to states. Governor Cuomo has requested at least $10 billion.
The CUNY budget framework
So how does this alter our financial planning at CUNY? While there will be a good deal of unanimity in the way all the CUNY colleges plan for FY21, each college also has its own financial situation that will impact the decisions it is able to make.
Two weeks ago, Chancellor Matos Rodríguez established a Fiscal Scenarios Group to create the most realistic estimates about how the CUNY budget could be impacted by the state’s finances. Then, after he spoke with the college presidents, he issued the memo I referred to above. In it, he laid out four immediate actions:
CUNY is implementing a freeze on all personnel actions, including all hires and discretionary salary increases. Some exceptions that will be considered include health and safety positions and faculty searches in which an offer has already been made. Such cases will need to be presented to a CUNY Vacancy Review Committee that will be created in the coming days;
Per state and city regulations, the University must pause all active campus construction projects, with the exception of those that are COVID-19 related;
For the remainder of the fiscal year, colleges should refrain from any new one-time or recurring expenditures, with the exception of those that are related to COVID-19 or distance learning instruction; and,
Campuses should not be entering into any new long-term contractual obligations (new or renewals) until further notice and should consult with the Chief Financial Officer’s Office for any exceptional situations.


Solution to the problem
The database administrator earlier concluded the problem for the performance slowdown, to be compilation of SQLs instead of hitting the package cache.
The SQLs where compiled as literals are used in the workload, instead of parameter markers. Usage of parameter markers would cause the SQL to be compiled only once,
and later execution of SQLs would hit the package cache directly. Hence, the literals in the workload are replaced with parameter markers.
Run sample workload
The SQL compilation problem scenario can be simulated by a java program(SampleCompilationProblem_NP.java)
available in "[tutorial-base-directory]/extras"
directory.
This program prepares and executes many SQL queries, which introduces many compilation at runtime on the server.
Steps to run workload on command line
- Verify java is available in your system PATH. To add java to the path, use following command:
- On windows:
set PATH=<DB2 install path>java\jdk\bin;%PATH%
- On Unix:
export PATH=<DB2 install path>/java/jdk/bin:$PATH
- Change directory to
"[TE-directory]/tutorials/Workshops/MonitoringWorkshop/ProblemDetermination/SQLCompilation/extras"
directory
- Compile the sample java workload
javac SampleCompilationProblem_NP.java
- Execute the program
java SampleCompilationProblem_NP <userid> <password> <hostname> <DB2_port_number>

WSL SSH Launcher
I’m a Linux user and recently because of some undeniable reason, I’ m using Windows these days. I haven’t been using Windows for about half a year, and I got really used to those command line tools in Linux (e,g, tmux), it’s kind of uncomfortable without them. So I enabled WSL, installed openSUSE and Arch. After setting up my dotfiles, I found out that there is not a single usable terminal emulator on Windows:
- Windows version of Alacritty cannot display some character in the right way. Tmux’s status line become weird after stretching the window.
- Fluent Terminal looks nice but tmux’s status line will disappear in some cases.
- ConEmu does not support dialog very well, etc.
And vim does not work well in those terminal emulators, especially for syntax highlighting (colors become indistinguishable). Seems these situations are caused by ConHost and people who build those terminal emulators cannot fix that on their own. I know they tried their best.
Macrohard Microsoft said they are going to fix that and released Windows Terminal at Build 2019, I’m very glad they are working on it. But after I downloading a Dev build from their CI, I found out that:
- Colors are still not 100% correct in some cases, though it’s still a huge improvement from the previous ConHost.
- Does not support mouse interaction (e.g. tmux’s mouse mode and vim).
- High CPU and RAM usage. After opening 5-6 tabs, it uses 20% of my CPU (which is a 6th-gen Shintel Core i7) and over 3GB of RAM, plus another 20% usage on CPU by Antimalware service. Performance also become unacceptable in this case, I can even see how each character is printed out.
After searching for resolutions, I found that someone said we can use SSH clients as there are some decent SSH clients on Windows. But there are still some problems:
- WSL does not have a real init system and service manager, so distributions with “pure” systemd only cannot start sshd as a daemon unless start by hand.
- Even though some distribution can start sshd through RC scripts, it still needs some sort of interaction.
Then I done a little bit of searching and found no suitable tools can start sshd on boot (maybe it exists, but I just didn’t see it). So I wrote one : )
(I think the interface is pretty straight forward)
I was planning to make a UWP one but I don’t know how to do it so I just made it with WPF. It’s my first WPF program so…
It has the basic functionalities I need, but still, with some issues:
- Window cannot be resized, because I don’t know how to make it resizable in the correct way.
- Microsoft says WPF supports HiDPi, but I didn’t test it since I don’t have that kind of device.
- It cannot stop the sshd process only, instead, it will kill all the WSL instance of that specific distribution:
- I wrapped the WSL process with BackgroundWorker, but I don’t know how to stop a process inside a BackgroundWorker, my bad.
- WSL instances are isolated so I cannot start a new process and kill the process in the previous WSL instance.
- Sometimes it’s not… I’m really confused.
- So I did it in this way.
- Again, it’s extremely ugly.
- Lacks error handling.
But at least it works!

因为一些不可抗的原因，我这段时间在用 Windows。但是在这之前我已经有半年左右没用过 Windows 了，离开了 Linux 下的那些工具可以说是浑身难受。而且最近这段时间刚刚配了一下 tmux 之类的东西感觉挺好。到了 Windows 下可真算是这也没有那也没有了。
于是装了 openSUSE 和 Arch 两个 WSL(Windows Subsystem Linux) 发行版。装完并设置好自己的 dotfiles 之后用了一段时间才发现 Windows 下根本就没一个好用的终端模拟器：
- Windows 版的 Alacritty 字符显示不正确，拉伸窗口之后 tmux 的 status line 显示不正常。
- Fluent Terminal 虽然好看，字符也正常，但是换行多了之后 tmux 的 status line 会丢。
- ConEmu 对 dialog 的支持好像有问题。
并且 vim 在这些终端模拟器里基本就是不能使用（尤其是配色上面）。这些问题据说是 ConHost 的限制，他们做终端模拟器的人也没办法。
前段时间巨硬的 Build 大会上公布了 Windows Terminal，我也去他们的 CI 上面下了一个 Dev 构建然后试了下，发现：
- 部分地方的颜色还是不对。
- 功能倒是没什么大问题了，但是不支持 tmux 的 mouse mode 等等。
- 占用真的太太太太太太高了，性能也是真的很烂… 我开了 五六个标签页吃了我 3GB+ 的内存和 20+% 的 CPU，Antimalware 的那个服务在此之上又吃了 20+% 的 CPU… 我这还什么都没干呢。而且这个时候性能已经差到了能看到它一个字一个字打出来的程度，实在是遭不住。
这时候又看到说我们可以用 SSH，毕竟 Windows 下还是有不少还算好用的 SSH 客户端的嘛。可是这个方法也不是很完美。一是 WSL 里没有真正意义上的 init，像 Arch 这样只有纯 systemd 的发行版无法通过它自动启动 sshd；二是就算能用 RC 脚本启动 sshd（比如 Ubuntu），也还是需要用户操作，相对麻烦。
然后我就想造一个东西能启动 WSL 里面的 sshd，网上稍微搜了下好像也没有同类程序。我就自己下载了 Visual Studio 试着写了一个。
其实本来想做成 UWP 的但是试了一下发现完全没头绪，最后用了 WPF。我总共就没做过几个图形程序，希望大佬们轻点。
现在基本功能在我这边测试是能用了（可以列出发行版，可以启动 sshd，可以开机自动启动），但是还是很不完善：
- 窗口现在是无法拖大小的，因为我做不来。
- 现在无法只停止 sshd 服务，只能杀死所有同个发行版的 WSL instance：
- 我现在把跑了 sshd 的 WSL 进程放进了 BackgroundWorker，但是不知道如何正确结束掉 BackgroundWorker 里面的子进程。
- 同时由于 WSL instance 之间是独立的，我无法通过再创建一个 WSL 进程来杀死之前的 sshd。
- 所以最后发现我只能把它做成杀死所有 WSL instance，当然主要是我太菜。
- 现在的 Logo 很丑，我也没办法，毕竟我不懂设计。
- 缺少 Error handling。
但是它至少能用了嘛！

I had a little time to study one of my favorite Perl too:
perlbrew.
While reading the source code I decided to add a little extra-information on the output of the available command. Such command provides the list of available (i.e., downloadable) Perl versions, but not from where it is going to download them.
Therefore I applied a patch to show to the outer world the donadloadable links.
And after a few days and a little embarassement for a forgotten failing test, it has been
merged!

ZVC - Components Life Cycle
Base components, library components (included scripts) and Custom Components (user created) follows same life cycle.
Events corresponding to life cycle are triggered to components from themselves, so they can be captured using onThis_eventName()
.
Life Cycle Events
-
init
Init event is triggered after creation of component is complete and after init event was triggered inside every child component (and it's own subcomponentes, recursively).
This event can be used to register DOM listeners or to initialize default values for properties and component fields or custom subcomponents initialization.
-
activated
and deactivated
Activated event is triggered after initialization and when component is ready to interact with the user.
Deactivated evet is triggered just before component becomes invisible. This can be temporary or before it will be destroyed. For example, a ZLoader calls deactivate on current (loaded) component before loading the new one (calling init and activated in the new one).

Usefulness of cats
In our urban and suburban houses what should we do without cats? In our sitting or bedrooms, our libraries, in our kitchens and storerooms, our farms, barns, and rickyards, in our docks, our granaries, our ships, and our wharves, in our corn markets, meat markets, and other places too numerous to mention, how useful they are! In our ships, however, the rats oft set them at defiance; still they are of great service.
How wonderfully patient is the cat when watching for rats or mice, awaiting their egress from their place of refuge or that which is their home! How well Shakespeare in Pericles, Act iii., describes this keen attention of the cat to its natural pursuit!
The cat, with eyne of burning coal, Now crouches from (before) the mouse's hole.
A slight rustle, and the fugitive comes forth; a quick, sharp, resolute motion, and the cat has proved its usefulness. Let any one have a plague of rats and mice, as I once had, and let them be delivered therefrom by cats, as I was, and they will have a lasting and kind regard for them.
Let any one have a plague of rats and mice, as I once had, and let them be delivered therefrom by cats, as I was, and they will have a lasting and kind regard for them.


Kremlin concerned by Iran's intention to reduce compliance with nuclear deal
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was concerned by Iran’s intention to further scale back its commitment to a 2015 nuclear deal, and that Moscow would like the deal to remain in place.
Iran said on Monday it had launched a new batch of advanced centrifuges to accelerate uranium enrichment, following the withdrawal from the nuclear pact by the United States, and renewed sanctions on Iran, which have harmed its oil exports.

Space Traveler....

(pill / tablet) |
Tried a new E pill ('Pure Love') that my local E dealer had picked up and went on a trip so horrible and so amazing that it still has me spooked. I now believe the pilled contained PMA. Inital effect was uncontrollable excitement and body movement. My hands were shaking and I can feel my eyes lock straight ahead. Now heres the good part. The hallucinations...I have seen things that I have never thought possbible for a human being. I saw things manifest right before my eyes. Dead bodies scattered throughout my room, bodies with arms and legs ripped right off. I saw my buddy poked his eye out...saw him turn into pinochio, a female, and many other things.
Now remember these things manifested right before my eyes, blinking did not bring them away. At this point in time my mind was rocked, it was screaming to set things right, it was processing and trying to registers things that could not be possible, how can I see my buddy poke his eye out and see the blood fly all over the place yet he is still alive right before me.
I also felt like as space and time traveler a person from another world. Visiting Earth, I felt wise and extremely old, that I have been on this Earth for millions of years and that I have seen all and know all. I remember my friends asking me questions and I would answer as if I was a guru, a wiseman. This was the only good part about the drug. All the others I still have nightmares about. This pill called Pure Love which is still around the Sacramento area...I advise to take with caution for you will be taken on a trip that you have never taken before...oh and by the way...duration is 6 hours...of sights..sounds...and nightmares...only the brave need apply...as for me I am spooked...

A pawsitive ending: Missing puppy found after nine-day search in Chilliwack
Pit bull Frankie ran from dog sitter booked through app
by Paul HendersonA beloved family puppy who went missing after its Chilliwack family dropped him off at a dog sitter is back home, nine days later.
The Levinsky family pit bull puppy that went missing on Nov. 11 and was found by a Chilliwack Canada Post letter carrier on Wednesday.
Off in Mexico on vacation, Dan and Kim Levinsky were left worrying from afar while friends searched the streets of Chilliwack for their beloved family pet.
 Frankie’s story was shared on social media. And people were out looking for the 10-month-old dog.
But on Wednesday, local letter carrier was doing her route when she spotted Frankie on Indigenous reserve land near Ashwell Road. She took a photo, it was shared, someone got in touch with the Levinskys, who confirmed the dog was theirs. Another woman brought Frankie home.
Dan Levinsky posted on Facebook on Wednesday that the dog had no visible injuries, and that she’s at the veterinarian having a bath and food and would spend the night there.
The family used Rover.com, a Seattle-based online marketplace for people to buy and sell pet care services including pet sitting, dog boarding and dog walking.
It’s described by some as the Uber for dogs or Airbnb for pets.
Within 30 minutes of being dropped off at a home in the downtown area, she jumped a fence and bolted.
The Levinskys will be back from their holiday today and will reunite with Frankie, who — if only she could talk — would certainly have stories to tell of her adventures.


Best practices are also in the upload form, and repeated below. You can also check this image.
Exporting from Illustrator: You should use the "Save as" function in Illustrator to save your SVG. The proper settings should be the defaults, and are listed below:
Pretty much always. Using SVGs result in crisper images, smaller file sizes, and better display across devices compared to static images.
If you have a particularly large or detailed SVG, however, you may be off exporting an image, which will result in a smaller file size.
Yes! Just add the blurb as the first related item in P2P. The only caveat is that this is the one case where you will need a 16:9 aspect ratio in your SVG.
To reduce the number of fonts we have to serve to our users, please keep the fonts used in your graphics to Benton Gothic Regular, Benton Gothic Bold, and Benton Gothic Black.
Your SVG will save as a blurb in working in P2P. For now, you'll have to go and turn the blurb live manually, though this may change in the future.
If you're working on a story in SNAP, add the slug of the blurb to a P2P embed item. Not that the SVG will not show up in the story -- SNAP cannot read the contents of the blurb, so it will not display in SNAP, but will show in P2P preview.
Note that SNAP can't read the contents of a blurb, so you'll just see an empty space in the story editing screen in SNAP. You will be able to see the SVG if you preview in P2P, however.
Most likely, one of two things happened:
Thank you! Feel free to head back to the SVG uploader.

If the Trump election didn’t raise your antenna to the prospect (or likelihood) of fake news, the Goldman Sachs crypto FUD from a couple weeks ago should have reminded you that the news isn’t very news-y any more.
Once upon a time, we lived in a world where the mainstream media was the “fourth estate” and it acted as a check and balance on the other three estates. Incidentally, those are religion, nobility, and the common people. Back in the good old days, we could count on underpaid scribes like Bob Woodward to roost out the nefarious misdeeds of those in power, whether it be clergymen diddling altar boys, presidents directing thieves under cover of night, or the notorious Florida Man who is always out to do some kind of evil along the back roads of that awkward American state.
But in these neoliberal modern times, where “the business of business is business” and society doesn’t let us question the motives of businessmen any more than that, the “fourth estate” has been coopted by the nobility. In the twenty-first century, that would be the rich people. Now that Trump is president, we can pretty easily state that the government is also the rich people, which is a happy & convenient state of affairs - if you’re rich!
Nowadays, fake news hits the 24-hour news cycle and the market instantly reacts. Even if people recognize the duplicity, it doesn’t matter because 80% of the trading volume in capital markets is commanded by bots. Those artificially intelligent software protocols automatically scan the day’s headlines and make immediate trading decisions.
So fake news has a tremendous impact, especially in the crypto markets where bots and fake volume make up almost the entire market during bear cycles.
This state of affairs means that the low volume days of a bear lull are especially prone to fake news attacks. As with anything that is so technologically fresh that it outpaces the formulation of the laws necessary to control it, scammers are everywhere. And they take all shapes.
In reaction to the now debunked Goldman news, bitcoin (BTC) fell a maximum of almost 14% as a result. It still has yet to recover. Even with news that’s not really fake - like Vitalik Buterin stating the obvious that 1000x returns were a thing of the past - trading bots and capital deployed by those “in the know” can wreak havoc on cryptoasset prices across the board.
But that’s how it is in financial markets without regulation.
It just is.
If we want that to change, we need to pressure our rich Congresspeople to do something about it. Otherwise, the 98% of the world that doesn’t know about cryptocurrency or blockchain assets will never be properly informed, much less convinced to place their hard-earned money into these types of investments.
Contrary to popular opinion, regulation will not limit the crypto markets. It is the best and only chance we have of making them bloom!
If the G20 governments don’t do it soon, the blockchain industry will find ways around it anyway. Decentralized exchanges and crypto havens like Malta and Lichtenstein will provide the answers.
But those solutions will never be as satisfying as China, England, or the United States flat out codifying what everyone on Steemit already knows:
Bitcoin is cool!
And it’s a perfectly fine globally decentralized form of money that is ripe to disrupt a centuries-old corrupt-driven financial system coopted by the nobility.
Go figure.
Just like it took a Republican president (Richard Nixon) to open up “Red China” and a Democratic president (Bill Clinton) to deregulate the American financial markets completely (so that the richest among us could make a whole bunch of money before the system’s inevitable collapse in 2008)…
Yeah, just like those two milestones required a counterintuitive action by a seeming opponent to the idea to make them happen, that’s what will happen with regulation and crypto.
That’s just the nature of the dialectic.
So, c’mon guys. Let’s face it.
You know the ones I’m talking about!
In case you forgot, here’s a list of silly questions cryptoasset investors ask in public chat rooms:
When tokens?
When exchange?
When update?
When moon?
When Lambo?
I mean, really… is that what this whole “blockchain will revolutionize the international financial system” is all about?
The answer is no. HELL NO. To all of those questions. (I know, I know. That’s not even answer to some of those questions, but I think you get my point.)
We need to be paying attention to a much more important question these days:
When regulation?
Whenever we get a firm answer to that burning question is when the whole blockchain industry will know that the bottom is in and the only way forward is up.
Way up.

Zanzibar, Swahili Unguja, island in the Indian Ocean, lying 22 miles (35 km) off the coast of east-central Africa. In 1964 Zanzibar, together with Pemba Island and some other smaller islands, joined with Tanganyika on the mainland to form the United Republic of Tanzania. Area 600 square miles (1,554 square km). Pop. (2007 est.) 713,000.
The general impression of Zanzibar when approached from the mainland is of a long, low island with small ridges along its central north–south axis. Coconut palms and other vegetation cover the land surface. It is 53 miles (85 km) at its greatest length and 24 miles (39 km) broad. The highest point of the central ridge system is Masingini, 390 feet (119 m) above sea level. Higher ground is gently undulating and gives rise to a few small rivers, which flow west to the sea or disappear in the coral country. The climate is typically insular, tropical, and humid, with an average annual rainfall of 60 to 80 inches (1,500 to 2,000 mm). Rainfall is reliable and well-distributed in comparison with most of eastern Africa. Northeast trade winds blow from December to March and southeast trade winds from May to October. The “long rains” occur between March and May and the “short rains” between October and December.

PE police arrest three, including teenager, for possession of firearms
by Algoa FMPort Elizabeth police have arrested three suspects and recovered four firearms, two replica firearms and a replica gas pistol in the city's northern areas.
Spokesperson, Colonel Pricilla Naidu says members of the Anti-Gang Unit executed a search warrant at a house in Kwazakele on Friday, where a 35-year-old man was arrested for the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
A 9mm pistol and 7 rounds of ammunition were recovered.
The firearm was reported stolen in Mount Road in April 2018.
Naidu says a .22 pistol with no serial number was seized by Flying Squad and K9 unit members while patrolling in Durban Road, Korsten on Friday when they spotted an Opel Kadett attempting to avoid a Vehicle Check Point.
She says they stopped the vehicle, and the driver attempted to remove the firearm from his waist but he was apprehended.
In the third incident on Friday, police received information of a firearm hidden in a gutter on the roof of a house in Booysens Park, and a .22 Remington rifle and a 9mm replica gas pistol were found.
No-one was arrested.
Colonel Naidu says police also followed up on information and searched a house in Bethelsdorp later in the day, where a 16-year-old was arrested after a revolver with no serial number was recovered.
All those arrested will appear in court on Monday.
