A little stretch of river on a big green field
The kind you see from airplanes baby, that's the deal, that's the deal
A place to plan a future a place to keep the past
A place to raise some kids what's wrong with that, wrong with that

Maybe it's the same routine
Walking on the concrete
Running like a river so deep
Wearin' down my high heels
Wearin' down my high ideals
Of what I thought my life was supposed to be

Everybody's got a weakness some kind of kryptonite
Wearing em' down
Everybody's got dreams they can't let go of don't they baby
Everybody has a little secret they keep inside and mine's
Livin' happily ever afterly
With you, with you

I want to paint the world with the colors that I see
Every time I close my eyes and you're kissin' me, kissin' me
I wanna wake up in your arms so far from here
I wanna get lost in the dark and know you're near, know you're near

Maybe it's an old love song playing up louad on the radio
Bringin' these thoughts on
Getting me thinking that there might be a little bit more than
What I'm working for
Or maybe it's just me

[repeat chorus]

Everybody's got a weakness

[repeat chorus]

Let me tell you something true
I think I've always liked you
Since the moment I laid eyes on you
But it wouldn't have been appropriate
To let you know these things I held inside
So I held them from my mouth and
Fought them with my mind but now I'm

Free to let you know the way I feel about you.
The world would be a lot less bright without you.
Free to say my piece and take a chance and see.
I was wondering if you'd like to get to know more about me.

Both waiting for a perfect world.
Imperfect as I am
I'll be making progress girl
A more spiritual man to
Take you by the hand and help you get to there and see
It's the world we've been waiting for where everybody's free and I'm

I find you pretty actually
Your hair flashes like fire
And your personality
Is something I desire
To help me through this troubled world, yeah, help to keep me calm
And girl when you're in need of love it's right here in my arms, and I'm

I WAS in town this week and took this photo in Old Park Lane to remind us all what an absolute curse graffiti really is. There’s no point in pretending it’s ‘art’ or that it’s a ‘victimless crime’. It isn’t and it’s not.

If this was plastered all over your property and you bore the cost of cleaning it up you’d call it something, but it wouldn’t be ‘art’.

A neighbour and her husband recently spent two years and every penny they had renovating an old house.

Less than a week after completion, some idiot sprayed graffiti all over the external walls. Is that ‘art’ or just plain vandalism?

My photograph is of a commercial property, but the graffiti is no less offensive or less expensive to eradicate.

Look, I’m not against freedom of expression, but if taggers want people to appreciate their talent they need to do it at their own expense and not expect others to foot the bill.

The courts have to act, otherwise our towns will look like slums.

When mayor Rudy Giuliani restored law and order to the streets of New York, he started by eradicating graffiti.

He understood the effect this had on public morale.

So, let’s keep this crime in perspective.

What’s the point in having planning regulations if any building can be defaced at any time just because some misguided individuals thinks they are artists.

It’s not sending taggers to jail that offends me, it’s keeping the paedophiles, muggers and yobs out that I object to.

The family of tragic Sophie Spencer said they are overwhelmed at the success of a fundraising campaign in her memory.

Aspiring actress Sophie Spencer, 24, was fatally injured when her car hit a tree in Over Alderley on November 24.

In the wake of her death, Sophie’s devastated family including dad Pete, mum Lena and brothers Scott, 21, and Alex, 18, launched a campaign to support the charity When You Wish Upon A Star, which grants the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses.

Donations poured in and the campaign has so far raised more than £3,500.

Speaking from the family home on St Austell Avenue, Macclesfield, Sophie’s dad Pete said: “We have been overwhelmed by the support of our family, friends, the community and many who we have never met. Sophie loved children and dreamed of helping the less fortunate, so we launched this campaign to help fulfil her dream posthumously.

“The donations from all over the world have given a great deal of comfort. We had 260 cards and letters of condolence from all over the country. They all had the same message: that Sophie brightened up their lives.”

When You Wish Upon A Star is a national charity based in Stockport.

Fundraising manager Maria Moseley said she was touched the Spencer’s had chosen to support the charity.

She said: “I am so glad that this campaign will bring some comfort to Sophie’s family. They have shown such bravery turning such a tragedy into something positive to help others. The money they have raised will be put to good use granting the wishes of sick children and their families who, like the Spencers, are having a very difficult time.”

When You Wish Upon A Star is open to any child aged two to 16 with a life threatening or terminal illness. To nominate a child visit

Sophie was a former student of Upton Priory Primary and Fallibroome Academy.

She was a talented singer and actress and was taking a course at the Manchester School of Acting.

Sophie was driving home from her acting class when the collision happened on Macclesfield Road, on November 24, at about 7.30pm.

Police believe Sophie’s silver Peugeot 206 was overtaking another vehicle before it swerved to avoid a black Fiat Panda travelling in the opposite direction and collided with a tree.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses, including the drivers of a white BMW 1 series and a silver Audi A3 seen in the area.

Maths is a core building block for future learning...

Since the 2014/2015 academic year, students who have not achieved a grade C or above in either Maths or English, but have continued onto post-16 study, are required to either re-sit their GCSEs or equivalent level functional skills exams.

Our team of highly qualified mathematics tutors have a wealth of experience in the many diverse areas of Mathematics.

With a range of subject and level specialists, we are able to place the right tutor with students in order for them to reach their target grades or higher. One to one tuition enables a student to work at their own pace with on hand support whilst exploring new mathematical concepts strategically through examples and repetition.

We have tutors dedicated to working with Primary students who are encouraged to have confidence and understanding, and to enhance fluency in their numerical skills, whilst those preparing to sit A-Levels Mathematics will receive support in their logic and reasoning skills with emphasis on examination preparation and revision guidance.

Randal's Monday

Randal's Monday Badge
A kleptomaniac, a sociopath and a horrible friend. Randal's Monday is a crazy space-time odyssey in classic adventure design, spiced up with countless geek culture references of the last 30 years.

Randal wakes up after the engagement party of his best friend Matt; he's ridden by a raging hangover and also has Matt's wallet in his possession. Inside the wallet is his engagement ring and without thinking of the consequences, Randal sells the ring - and thus gets struck by a terrible curse. Matt commits suicide and now Randal is forced to relive the same ill-fated Monday over and over, trying to undo his mistake.

Randal needs to retrieve the ring and sort his own life out, before things get any worse... Collapsing the whole space-time continuum-kinda-worse, in fact.

Attention geeks! Randal's Monday offers black humor of the finest sort, all kinds of pop culture references and all that packed tightly into classic Point & Click adventure gameplay. It's a tribute to a whole generation of gamers, readers and watchers of retro and contemporary sub-culture formats.
  • Playtime: depends totally on the time you've spent in front of your TV as a kid
  • About a bazillion references to the geek culture
  • No Zombies! (Let's be honest, they are kind of a feature nowadays...) Then again, in fact... We got some of those, so: ZOMBIES!
  • A ton of unexpected twists... And even more twists you'll see coming from a mile away
  • A hilarious script, written by the best friend of the neighbor of the guy who's Terry Pratchett's barber

  1. Nice adventure game

  3. Funny and original
    by kaotia, Italy - Feb 9th 2016

    A less politically correct Point&Click adventure game by Daedelic Entertainment, with sci-fi quotes and a dark humor that make this game more original than other games by this software house. It's interesting how every action made during a chapter can influence the following ones. It can be played the classic way (right clicking on an object to open a menu) or in a more modern way (left clicking for immediate action).

Sisterhood to Lena Dunham, Tina Fey & Co.: Shut up! -

Sisterhood to Lena Dunham, Tina Fey & Co.: Shut up!

Our reigning feminist celebrities laureate can’t stop telling us what they think. But this isn’t feminism. It’s a single-issue lobby.

(Douglas Gorenstein/NBC/Getty Images)

Lena Dunham (Douglas Gorenstein/NBC/Getty Images)

There’s a scene in the first episode of Girls in which Hannah Horvath, played by Lena Dunham, pertinaciously declares herself to be the voice of a generation. She’s high on a sip of opium tea, higher on writerly millennial self-righteousness—and the joke is at her expense. This is the voice of a generation? A 20-something white woman with disposable income and a half-written memoir on her MacBook?

Self-aggrandizement is central to Dunham’s fictional character on Girls. But in real life, Dunham ennobles herself just as defiantly when it comes to political causes that align with her needs and beliefs. Dunham designed a special edition pink t-shirt to support Planned Parenthood’s Women Are Watching campaign in 2014, for example, and often tweets in support of Planned Parenthood and female reproductive rights.

Recently, she joined an A-list cadre of Hollywood stars who signed their names to a petition urging Amnesty International to rethink a proposal that would decriminalize sex work. (The proposal will be voted on at Amnesty International’s council meeting in Dublin this week.) The letter refers to “…the catastrophic effects of decriminalization of the sex trade.”

But Dunham et al—her fellow signatories include Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet—are not experts on the sex trade. Their intention may be to “rescue” sex workers from what they perceive as harm, but fame does not know best.

A sex worker going by the name of Jane told The Daily Beast that, “If Kate Winslet and Lena Dunham are trading sex in a criminalized environment, then they should speak out, [but] the role of an advocate and an ally is to step back and let these people speak.” It’s noble, in theory, for a famous person to use her platform to amplify an issue in need of attention. But too often, the pedestal of celebrity overshadows those at the heart of a concern.

(Brent N. Clarke/FilmMagic/Getty Images)

Amy Schumer. (Brent N. Clarke/FilmMagic/Getty Images)

Much like Hannah Horvath, rambling away on opium tea, self-prophesizing her own genius because she’s got four personal essays saved on the desktop of her computer, these celebrities lack the expertise needed to grasp and comment on the realities of sex work and the policies that may or may not govern it.

In fact, this is perhaps just disdain disguised as sisterly concern. The approach feels comparable to the selective feminism of Tina Fey, whose bestselling 2011 book Bossypants contains many jokes about sex workers. “How can I describe it?” Fey writes of an unpleasant smell. “If you boiled ten thousand eggs in a prostitute’s bathwater.”

Now, I think Tina Fey is symbolically good for women. But she is good for some women. She is good for women who aren’t sex workers, and for the kind of women who frown upon sex work. By using her platform to be anti-sex work, even comedically, she’s putting the women she cares about and the women she doesn’t into two separate categories, rewarding the women she likes with a sense of camaraderie and excluding all the rest.

That’s just fine, if also disappointing, for a comedian. To be a feminist, though, should mean being engaged in the safety and advancement of women. When you begin picking and choosing who should succeed under feminism, and who should be left behind or punished, it’s not feminism anymore. It’s lobbying.

Our celebrity feminists laureate are not actually feminists, then, but lobbyists for specific causes that fall under the umbrella of feminism. Tina Fey is a powerful woman in show business who encourages women to be confident: that’s good. Lena Dunham, also powerful, has used her rostrum to speak up for female reproductive rights: that’s good, too. But for every woman who feels protected or inspired by Dunham and Fey, another is alienated in her place. (Of a trip to India several years ago, Dunham said the following to Rolling Stone: “We do a really good job in [America] of basically sealing off sick people and sealing off toilets and sealing off everything that lets us know we’re animals. And in India not only do they not do that, there’s no interest in doing that.” This may not seem immediately germane to a critique of Dunham’s feminism, but an Indian feminist might have a different opinion.)

There’s renewed discussion these days about identity politics within feminism. The hashtag #solidarityisforwhitewomen, used to flag examples of feminism that excludes women of colour, has become a Twitter meeting point for exasperation felt by those not represented by white feminism. (“Taylor should have just hit the RT button on Nicki’s tweets but instead water ski’d in on some white tears”, reads one tweet with the hashtag, referring to Taylor Swift’s recent interruption of Nicki Minaj’s  tweets about the unacknowledged and unrewarded contributions black women make to pop culture.)

As the website Blavity put it, “White feminists seem to be more interested in freeing their nipples than a black woman’s right to inquire why she is being arrested. As a collective unit, mainstream feminists don’t vocally advocate for the right for black girls to live. Instead, they seem to be in a frenzy over the release of Amy Schumer’s new movie.”

And of course Schumer, who is glorious in her material on body positivity, and whose commentary on sexual assault is much needed in the world of comedy, where men freely make rape jokes, benefits from laughing over racism. That’s not real feminism—it’s a clique.

( Evan Agostini/Invision/CP)

Taylor Swift (Evan Agostini/Invision/CP)

When queen of the cool girls Taylor Swift interrupted Nicki Minaj, what she revealed was a lack of understanding of how other women live. Like Fey, Dunham, Schumer et al, Swift is great for white women who resemble her, but leaves the rest behind. Earlier this year, Swift told Maxim that “…feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality.” Equality is the right message to amplify, but as with her contemporaries, Swift’s celebrity is more important to her than being a feminist. So why hail her as a great feminist voice?

Dunham’s Hannah Horvath may be a fumbling fictional character naively lobbying to represent an entire generation. But the shame is that in many ways she does. A reframing is in order. Instead of lauding celebrity women as feminists, let’s turn to the diverse and devoted women out there whose peripheries stretch longer than the length of their own looking glass.

Flowers galore - Part 4

This is the last flower post for now. To wrap up the flower frenzy (see posts: Part1, Part2, Part3)

I was experimenting a bit and have to say, that surprisingly some interesting stuff came to live.
The following flowers which I made into brooches are made out of fabric scraps which I mod podged with fabric mode podge and assembled with some scrap-booking brads. Underneath I added a circle layer of felt to which I attached a brooch pin. Using the same technique, I also made a hair pin. Mod podging the fabric prevents the fabric from fraying and it gives it almost a plastic look. The pin on the second picture right, is made from suede and a plastic bottle thingy from my recycled and not so recycled experiments.

The following hair pin was inspired by a design from a book FabricJewelry by Teresa Searle. I think that it would make for a nice brooch as well.

Another experiment with quiling of ribbon and combining it with felt. I find the combination of textures and forms interesting.

I love working with felt. I find the 100 % wool felt to be most pliable and durable. It is also naturally water and dirt repellent. Here an owl and pear hair pins. Making this pin inspired me to make some other shapes into hair pins, brooches and necklaces. I will show you those in the next weeks to come.

Last, but not least some experiments with crochet flowers. The top right one is a crochet border onto a piece of felt. I like the combination of textures in this one. I did not make anything out of those yet, but I had fun making them and will probably apply them to some sweaters, scarves and hats.

Lets see what my next obsession will be. Oh, wait a moment - Felt and wood necklaces and t-shirt refashions. Check back in soon to check them out.

If we turn the Fading Qualia argument around, what we get is a world in
which Comp is true and it is impossible to simulate cellular activity
without evoking the presumed associated experience.

If we wanted to test a new painkiller for instance, Comp=true means that it
is *IMPOSSIBLE* to model the activity of a human nervous system in any way,
including pencil and paper, chalkboards, conversations, cartoons, etc -
IMPOSSIBLE to test the interaction of a drug designed to treat intense pain
without evoking some kind of being who is experiencing intense pain.

Like the fading qualia argument, the problem gets worse when we extend it
by degrees. Any model of a human nervous system, if not perfectly executed,
could result in horrific experiences - people trapped in nightmarish QA
testing loops that are hundreds of times worse than being waterboarded. Any
mathematical function in any form, especially sophisticated functions like
those that might be found in the internet as a whole, are subject to the
creation of experiences which are the equivalent of genocide.

To avoid these possibilities, if we are to take Comp seriously, we should
begin now to create a kind of PETA for arithmetic functions. PETAF. We
should halt all simulations of neurological processes and free any existing
computations from hard drives, notebooks, and probably human brains too.
Any sufficiently complex understanding of how to model neurology stands a
very real danger of summoning the corresponding number dreams or
nightmares...we could be creating the possibility of future genocides right
now just by entertaining these thoughts!

Or... what if it is Comp that is absurd instead?

Day 13

Day 13 - Shannon Kruschel (Cellar Door Manager)

This was my final day representing Two Hands wine. Above is Shannon Kruschel, the cellar door manager setting up our tasting table at The East End Wine Down .This was part of a dynamic celebration of South Australia’s unique food and wine culture, showcasing the best of Adelaide’s chefs, producers, winemakers, brewers, cider makers and spaces. Organised by one of the best Wine shops I have ever visited, East End Wines, this was a fun lively entertaining way to try wines.

Day 13 - Tasting Crowds

My Highlight of the day was being put on the spot by Shannon when he told a lady whom was tasting, that I was the proprietor of Two Hands! I was getting away with the jape until she then said that she knew my wife. The tapestry of my deceit unravelled on the spot. Michael joined us on the stand, although there was the small matter of a world cup final being played, so he left us to it. He was most proud that we were showcasing the most expensive range of wines on show. This spoke volumes to a tight Yorkshireman like me. Normally I would be worried about samples budgets, pouring sizes etc. Michael just wanted more people to aware of whom Two Hands are and why they make such fantastic wine.

Day 14

Day 14 - Dad, wine tasting

Alas my final day in Australia had arrived. My original plans had been to head over to McLaren Vale and see a couple of suppliers that we supply through Majestic. However with the enthusiasm my parents had heard me talk about Two Hands they wanted to see where the “magic happens”.  Above is my Dad on the veranda posing with a bottle of the Fait Accompli Rare Muscat NV. This rare non-vintage Muscat is aged for over 20 years in barrel, lovingly nurtured over this time this is a rich, smooth and definitively elegant fortified wine. Or as my dad put it – “it’s like eating sticky toffee pudding, with a spoon made of caramel, on bonfire night” Unfortunately my Mum drew the short straw and had to drive!

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Two hands; Michael, Phil, Ben, Jimmy, Pierre-Henri, Danyelle, Shannon, Mark, Caitlin, Fionna and all of the vintage staff for truly making this one of the most remarkable experiences of my adult life! At times I found it tough but really I have memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

4 Excel Organizational Game Changers

If there is something I love as much as I love working in Excel, it is organizing. I love to organize my home, my office, my digital spaces - I even love organizing for other people when they give me the chance! When my physical or digital spaces are a mess, my productivity goes way down. I get distracted by everything lying around and annoyed when piles of stuff start getting too tall and slipping. Eventually I get so overwhelmed by the disorganization that I have to just walk away from it and not see it anymore - or, I have to stop whatever else I want or need to be doing and organize my life first.

Being distracted, overwhelmed, and having to walk away are all things that I’ve also experienced while learning how to use Excel. I eventually found out that a lot of those feelings came from the fact that my data was super disorganized in my spreadsheets. Now when I look at my spreadsheets I do it with the same attention to organization that I do for my home or my office.

The benefits of getting your house organized and getting your data organized in Excel are crazy similar, too:

Know where everything is

Don’t you hate it when you can’t find something in your house? Sometimes it is just annoying, like looking for a rubber band when you can’t remember where you keep them, sometimes it keeps you from doing something else like when you can’t find the remote or your wallet, and of course those times that you can’t stop until you find what you’re looking for, like when you can’t leave the house because you can’t find your keys. And when you put a time-pressure on it - like needing to catch a flight or get a report to funders - then everything gets harder. But when you are organized, this almost never happens. In Excel, having your data organized means knowing where everything is - because you chose where to put everything, and you put it there with a purpose.

De-cluttering for the win

Is there anything better than having wide, clean surfaces? There is space to work, move things around, and you can see everything you are working on. Clean surfaces are really so satisfying. In Excel, clean surfaces means you’ve taken away all the clutter - any data you don’t need in there is gone. It also means that you can see all of the important things that you need to see - everything that you need is cleanly organized in the way that makes sense to you, leaving the rest of your Excel sheet wide open for you to spread out and work.

A sense of calm and tranquility

I’m not trying to get too metaphysical with you here, but there is some real truth to this! Have you ever heard of organization porn? Just seeing things organized can have a positive impact on your mental state. There are tons of physical and mental health benefits to being organized in your life. I’ve definitely found the same to be true for being organized in Excel. A lot of the stress and frustration that is experienced in Excel is a direct result of being unorganized. It can play special havoc on your formulas, PivotTables, and charts (lots of times, they just won’t work unless your data is organized logically). Organizing your data is like feng shui for your spreadsheets.

It is no big surprise that organization can save you time. Sometimes it can feel like it costs time to get organized in the first place and stay that way, but getting organized in Excel is one of the biggest time-savers you will find. So much time can be wasted trying to sift through confusing and disorganized data, looking for things you think should be in your spreadsheet but you can’t seem to find, and generally just feeling lost yourself in a sea of gridlines and numbers. Organizing your Excel spreadsheets up-front means that you won’t have to spend time later cleaning up and making sense of your data.

There are 4 rules of data organization in Excel that will help you save you a ton of time and energy by avoiding some of the most common problems you could experience using Excel:

Always have clear column headers

Column header is simply the term for the words that you put in the first row of your spreadsheet. What you put in the first row should be descriptive of the data that is in each column. Having really clear column headers will help ensure that you don’t spend extra time at any point guessing or trying to figure out what the information in your spreadsheet is. You also want to make sure that you don’t leave the first row of any of your columns blank, which can cause you headaches later on.

Always apply your filters to ALL of your columns and ALL of your rows

This one trips people up a lot. Adding a filter in Excel means you are adding the ability to sort your rows however you’d like, and pick and choose the rows you want visible based on criteria that you get to choose and control. It is really important that you add your filters to ALL of your columns and ALL of your rows. This will ensure that when you start sorting and filtering, all of your data moves together. It happens to everyone at some point in Excel - you don’t add your filter to everything, and then after you do some sorting and filtering you realize that all your rows of data have been mixed up because they weren’t moving together. Making sure that you don’t leave any column headers blank and also that you don’t have blank rows in the middle of data in your spreadsheet will help make sure your filters are applied everywhere. But an easy way to make sure you are applying filters everywhere is to select your whole worksheet before adding the filter.

Don’t mix data types in your columns

It can be tempting to mix data types in columns. One of the most common examples of this is when you have some extra context about the information in your column and you want it to all be together. For instance, if you have a list of people with whom you are planning to meet, and the dates of your upcoming meetings, it can be tempting to add in something like “10/18/16 - Tentative” or “10/22/16 - Confirmed.” The problem with this is that Excel is really bad with mixed data types (like dates and words), and it won’t be able to do some key things, like sort, filter, or do calculations on the mixed information. Data types are things like text, numbers, and dates. Don’t mix these things in a single cell or column. If you find that you want to add context to a number or date, add a column for “notes.” Take a look at incorrect and correct ways to organize your data types:

Get granular with your data

A key tip to remember in Excel is that it is always easier to bring two pieces of data together than it is to pull them apart. As much as possible, you want to keep your data small and granular - meaning break it down to smaller pieces where you can. A really common example here is when you have names in a spreadsheet. You could have both first and last name in one column. But even better, you could have one column for first names and a second column for last names. Another common example of this is addresses. You could put the full address in one column, or you could have a few columns to capture the street, city, state, and zip code of addresses. Why is this important? It makes it A LOT easier to sort, filter, search, and count your data. In our address example, let’s say you want to filter your spreadsheet so you are only looking at people who live in California. You just won’t be able to do that unless the State is in its own column.

(Did you know all of these foundations already? Scroll all the way to the bottom of this email for a bonus - advanced Excel organization with Named Ranges)

If you are creating spreadsheets from scratch, you can apply all of the magic of organization from the beginning. If you are given a spreadsheet to use, whether that is a template that you download or a report at work that someone else created, you might be able to improve on the organization. Just remember the foundations from this lesson and you’ll be on your way to saving time and reducing stress when working in Excel.

BONUS: Advanced organization with Named Ranges

The Named Ranges feature in Excel allows you to name any group of cells, rows, and/or columns with a name that you choose. This comes in particularly handy when you are doing calculations and want to easily and quickly refer to a specific set of data in your spreadsheet. This functionality can be used simply or complexly, but let’s keep it simple for now. Let’s say you want to add up (or get the sum) of all the numbers in Column F. The formula for that would be something like =SUM(F2:F16). With Named Ranges, you can assign a name to the range and then use that name in your formulas. You can name cells F2 through F16 as something else, like “revenue”, and then you can write your formula as =SUM(revenue). Check it out:

vfs_tsmsm man page

vfs_tsmsm — VFS module for handling offline files with Tivoli Storage Manager Space Management

vfs objects = tsmsm

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

The tsmsm VFS module is an extension for handling offline files with Tivoli Storage Manager Space Management.

It tries to avoid calling expensive DMAPI calls with some heuristics based on the fact that number of blocks reported of a file multiplied by 512 will be bigger than 'online ratio' of actual size for online (non-migrated) files. If heuristic check fails, the module calls DMAPI and asks for a specific attribute which is present for offline (migrated) files. If this attribute presents, the file is considered offline.

This module is not stackable.

tsmsm:hsm script = [ path to hsm script ]

hsm script should point to a shell script which accepts two arguments: operation and filepath. the tsmsm module only uses "offline" for operation to set the file under filepath offline.

tsmsm:online ratio = [ number ]

Ratio to check reported size against actual file size. The default value is 0.5.

tsmsm:dmapi attribute = [ attribute-name ]

Name of a DMAPI attribute that is present when a file is offline. The default is "IBMobj" (which is what GPFS uses).

tsmsm:dmapi value = [ value for the DMAPI attribute ]

Value that the DMAPI attribute should have for the file to be considered offline. The default is empty (no value required).

A GPFS mount with TSM support can be exported via Samba as follows:

	vfs objects = tsmsm gpfs
	path = /test/gpfs_mount

This man page is part of version 4.9.0 of the Samba suite.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

Akriti Khatri is on a stakeout in a bustling neighborhood in New Delhi. On this hot Sunday afternoon in August, shoppers are bargaining for clothes and household goods at open-front stores. Khatri buys a watermelon smoothie from a juice vendor and tucks herself against a wall to avoid the cars and motorized rickshaws clogging the street. The chaotic location is ideal. "It's easy to blend in and secretly watch my target," says Khatri, a private detective whose eyes, hidden behind sunglasses and a curly dark bob, are fixed on a nearby modern apartment block. "With luck, I will catch the love cheat on-camera coming out of the building with his mistress."

Khatri, 31, who exudes a mixture of fearless energy and sharp humor, is one of a growing number of Indian women taking the country's male-dominated private-eye industry by storm. She runs her own agency, Venus Detective, with offices in India's capital, Delhi; Bangalore; and three other major cities. The sleuth and her team of 20 full-time, mostly female field agents launch daring undercover operations to expose illicit love affairs, dating fraud, corporate corruption, and other ills of modern Indian society. In the process, they turn traditional female roles upside down. "We often disguise ourselves as maids, vegetable vendors, college girls, or cosmetics saleswomen to infiltrate homes and offices," says Khatri, who rides a motor scooter during surveillance jobs. "It's risky, but so far we've never been caught. Targets rarely suspect women of being professional spies."

Delhi-born Khatri opened Venus Detective in 2011 after learning the trade at another P.I. firm straight after college. A science graduate with an MBA, she was drawn to the profession "out of sheer curiosity," she says. "I always loved collecting information about people. It was like a hobby. When I was a student, it took me 30 minutes to get across campus because I stopped to get the gossip from everyone I met." Dubbed "Delhi's Nancy Drew" by national newspaper the Hindustan Times, Khatri has seen demand for her services boom as the country modernizes at a breakneck pace. She receives 80 to 100 calls a week, mostly about matters relating to love and marriage.

Tanya Puri, 23, is the youngest P.I. in the country to run her own agency, Lady Detectives India, located in a suburb of Delhi
Jack Picone

Many of Khatri's clients are women who want to find out if their partners are cheating on them, or are keen to know if a prospective husband has any hidden deal-breaking habits. "Indian women are becoming much more independent with their own jobs and social lives, especially in big cities," she says. "They don't tolerate men who deceive them or who don't meet their expectations." Her client today, a woman in her late 20s who suspects her advertising- executive husband is having an affair with a colleague, is typical. The woman's husband has started coming home late and always taking his smartphone to the bathroom. "She has a young child, but she says she'd rather be a single mom than put up with an unfaithful husband," says Khatri. "This view was unheard of in my mother's generation."

Hiring a private detective not only empowers women to take control of their lives, she adds, it also helps them to avoid mistakes in the first place. Two female clients broke up with their respective boyfriends after Khatri discovered that one man's math was so bad, he couldn't count banknotes, and the other had lied about his family home having an indoor toilet (as she learned when she pretended to be lost in the neighborhood and asked to use it).

For centuries, arranged marriages have been the norm in India, with each partner vetted by family members and local connections. The role of informal detective was often taken by barbers who traveled from village to village, gathering intel about a person's suitability while cutting hair. "They'd find out whether the bride was respectable, whether the groom was financially stable, and whether both came from decent families," says Khatri. But now, with couples increasingly meeting on Facebook and Instagram and on dating apps like Tinder, the demand for private detectives is skyrocketing. (There are no formal figures for the growth in investigative agencies, but India's Association of Private Detectives and Investigators [APDI] says it counts around 350 firms as members, up from fewer than 20 a decade ago.) The Internet has created "relationship chaos" in the country of almost 1.3 billion people, Khatri says, causing far greater shock waves than in, say, the U.S., owing to India's deeply traditional attitudes. "People are falling for strangers online who often make up tall stories about their identities or credentials," she says. "There's much more uncertainty and confusion, as well as conflict with older generations who don't like their children's choices." Extramarital affairs, too, are on the rise because of the ease of dating and messaging apps. "Love in modern India has become a war zone."

Fees for Khatri's investigations run from around 25,000 rupees ($380) for a premarital check, which takes about 10 days, up to 500,000 rupees ($7,500) for complex cases that can span months, like corporate fraud or missing persons. Because private investigation is not a legally recognized profession in India—the authorities tolerate such work as long as detectives don't break any laws, such as illegally obtaining phone or e-mail records—there are no identifying signs outside her office. Most clients find her via her website and newspaper advertisements.

"Love in modern India has become a war zone."

Venus Detective's headquarters are on the third floor of a smart- looking office building in a business park in Noida, an industrial- corporate "mini-city" on the outskirts of the capital. In the large, airy room, Khatri's youthful team of admin and technical staff wear preppy shirts and casual pants or dresses and sit in cubicles taking calls and monitoring investigations on laptops. "Everything is digital these days," Khatri says. "To protect our clients' privacy, we don't keep any physical evidence lying around."

There's rarely any shortage of evidence. In around 40 to 50 percent of premarital cases, for example, the person Khatri is investigating has invented or concealed personal details—in the rush to join India's increasingly prosperous middle class, it's tempting to fake a few things to meet the right spouse. In infidelity cases, there are practical reasons to have hard evidence of wrongdoing. "In an arranged marriage, families on both sides are involved, and it's difficult to divorce or separate without causing a major dispute," she explains. "But if the client can say, 'My partner has been unfaithful and here are the photos and hotel receipts to prove it,' the families cannot argue with them."

Some also lie about their caste, India's ancient social hierarchy rooted in the Hindu religion. "Caste is critical to some traditional families," Khatri says. "I get many calls from parents who are worried their offspring are dating someone from a lower caste. Even if the couple is deeply in love, the family will stop at nothing to break up the romance." Parents ask Khatri to snare their child's partner in a "honey trap" to make it look like they are double-dating, or to fabricate evidence of a partner's unsuitability. "I always refuse," she says. "I draw the line at anything unethical."

Others deceive on a much grander scale. Khatri and her staff call these "OMG" cases. A recent example involved an Indian couple based in America. "The wife hired me to find out why her husband was spending so long back in India," she says. "We discovered he had three other wives in this country, each with their own house and kids that he'd fathered." In another OMG case, a Delhi woman wanted to know why her live-in boyfriend kept sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night. "He told her he couldn't sleep and was getting fresh air," says Khatri. "It turned out he was hiring out his sexual services for cash to an older woman in the neighborhood two or three times a week."

Perhaps not surprisingly, Khatri, who is married with a 2-year-old son, says a big part of her job is counseling distressed clients. "One of the first things I ask people is whether they're prepared to learn the truth and what they intend to do with the information we dig up," she says. Sometimes the answers surprise her, like the woman who hired her but planned to do nothing with the proof of her husband's infidelity. "She was just going to keep it as insurance," Khatri says, "in case her husband caught her cheating on him."

Confirmation that a spouse has been having an affair doesn't always end badly. One of Khatri's clients, a 30-year-old Delhi resident named Shweta who does not want her last name published, says hiring a private detective saved her 5-year-old marriage, at least for now. After the birth of their first child, Shweta and her husband stopped communicating, and as the distance between them grew, she began to suspect he was seeing someone. "I hired Akriti, and she caught him red-handed checking in to a hotel with another woman," she says. "When I confronted him with the evidence, he broke down and apologized. He has treated me like a queen ever since."

Being unfaithful works both ways, of course, and growing numbers of Khatri's clients are men who want to check up on their wives and girlfriends. Whatever the gender of her clients, she believes female private detectives have the upper hand. "Women feel more comfortable telling their problems to another woman," she says, "while men think that I will understand the mind-set and behavior of their wives."

"Women make excellent investigators, in many cases far superior to men."

Baldev Puri, general secretary of the Delhi chapter of the APDI, agrees. While exact figures for the number of female private detectives don't exist, women are joining the profession in rapidly increasing numbers—and outdoing their male counterparts. "They make excellent investigators, in many cases far superior to men," says the veteran detective, who has run his own agency for 30 years. "They are highly perceptive, they know how to get access in every situation, and they're very organized." Around 15 member agencies of the APDI are owned and run by women, he says, up from "only three or four nationwide" a few years ago.

He is such a champion of female sleuths that he encouraged his daughter to join the business. At 23, Tanya Puri is the youngest female P.I. in the country to run her own agency, Lady Detectives India. "I started working with my father from around the age of 15 and discovered I had a talent for details and observation," says Tanya.

She landed her first big case as an 18-year-old college student studying media and communications. "My father was asked to investigate a student whose parents thought she was seeing someone in secret," she says. "It was easier for me to follow her without being noticed." Tanya tailed the girl after classes on Delhi's metro and by rickshaw, and was shocked to find that she was working part-time in a high-class brothel. "She looked the same as me, so I didn't expect her to be involved in some kind of sex racket," Tanya says. "It was an early wake-up call never to make assumptions."

Chetana Mittal, 31, has gone undercover as a maid and a cosmetics saleswoman to collect information for clients

Since starting her agency last year, Tanya has hired half a dozen female investigators. "We call ourselves the Girl Squad, because we are all the same age and very ambitious," she says. But, given that the work often involves being out late on Delhi's streets, which are notoriously unsafe for solo women, Tanya always puts safety first: "We work in pairs at night, and sometimes with a male agent." She is acutely aware of the problem of violence against women, and along with the usual extramarital affairs and background checks, she often takes on domestic abuse cases. "We can't help directly in criminal cases, but we can provide photos or video footage that victims of violence can give to their lawyers to use," she says.

For some, private detective work is an escape from otherwise mundane domestic lives. Chetana Mittal, 31, gave up her job as a receptionist when she married and had a child, and she took up a part-time job selling cosmetics door-to-door after her son started school. Khatri, a neighbor, recruited her two years ago. "She asked me if I could do some snooping for her inside a target's house using my cosmetics sales as a cover," says Mittal. "It sounded much more challenging than being mainly a housewife."

That first case involved finding out about a prospective groom on behalf of the parents of his bride-to-be. "His mother confided in me while she was trying out face creams. She told me he suffered from a lot of health problems, including bad asthma, and was in danger of losing his job because he had to take so much time off," says Mittal. "His mother needed a sympathetic ear. I felt sorry for her, but it was vital information because he hadn't been honest with his fiancée."

A few weeks ago, Mittal worked undercover as a maid for a high-society couple in their mid-20s. The wife suspected her husband of hiring expensive escorts when she was out of town. "I disguised myself as a frumpy maid, wearing mismatched clothes and gaudy makeup. The wife pretended to hire me to cook and clean for her husband while she went away on a trip," says Mittal. "In the morning, I'd get to work and discover unpleasant signs of extramarital activity on the bedsheets and in the bathroom bin, as well as evidence of big parties."

Mittal keeps her work a secret because of her husband. "He's very traditional and wouldn't approve," she says. "He didn't even like me working as a receptionist before we got married." Mittal understands the irony of deceiving her husband but says it can't be helped. "I guess I'm a double-double agent," she jokes.

"We have the advantage of being more invisible as women... We just play dumb and giggle. It works every time."

According to Khatri, there have been few occasions of being exposed on the job. "We're very careful, and we have the advantage of being more invisible as women," she says. "But if someone catches us taking a photo or being somewhere we shouldn't, we just play dumb and giggle and say we made a mistake. It works every time." In fact, the job involves long periods of waiting when nothing much happens, especially during surveillance. Tanya says that while her father was training her, he made her stare at the wall for hours at a time to strengthen her ability to remain patient.

Regardless, both Khatri and Tanya say they prefer direct human observation to using some of the high-tech options on the market. Perhaps reflecting how nervy modern India has become, local websites advertise numerous spy gadgets, including cameras hidden in bottles of air freshener, soda cans, sari fabric, and car-key remotes. But the only equipment either of them uses regularly is a smartphone to take photos and videos, and record conversations. They occasionally use hidden cameras inside people's homes with the permission of their clients.

Despite spending their days on the frontline of India's murky world of romantic lies and deception, both women say they still believe in love. Tanya is engaged to a Delhi lawyer who is proud she's a private detective. "He thinks it's exciting and boasts about it to all his friends," she says. As for Khatri, she and her banker husband have been married for three years. "When I was single, my grandmother told me to lie about my job to find a husband. She said that being a private detective was too threatening to men," she says with a laugh. But Khatri knew from experience that lying was unwise. "He has no problem with my job," she says of her husband. "I even try to recruit him to help me with financial fraud cases when he has time."

In the near future, Khatri hopes to open India's first school for female private detectives to train more women in the art of sleuthing. "Some people in this country think this is not suitable work for women," she says. "We're proving them wrong. It's the kind of job that shows women can be anything we want to be."

Bond Report

Treasurys drop before $66 billion in auctions

By Ben Eisen
Published: Jun 10, 2013 4:23 pm ET

3_YEAR  on Tuesday, $21 billion of 10-year notes 10_YEAR on Wednesday and $13 billion of 30-year bonds 30_YEAR on Thursday.

Twitter tips for advisers

Twitter can be valuable marketing and prospecting tool for advisers. Here are a few tips on how advisers can use it.

Prices on the haven debt fell, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up 3.5 basis points to 2.211%. The 30-year bond yield rose 3 basis points to 3.365% and the 3-year note yield rose 1 basis point to 0.536%.

“Without any data today or tomorrow, the entire focus is going to be on demand for Treasury auctions,” said Thomas di Galoma, senior vice president of fixed-income rates trading at ED&F Man Capital Markets.

Ahead of the auctions, Wall Street dealers may be trying to push prices down a bit, said David Coard, head of fixed-income sales and trading at The Williams Capital Group. “I think that the street may be trying to beat up the market a bit for a concession,” said Coard, noting that a positive nonfarm-payrolls number Friday appears to be helping that cause.

Treasury prices fell on Friday after nonfarm payrolls rose by 175,000 in May, helping to keep market speculation alive that the Federal Reserve could begin winding down its bond purchases when it meets this month, even though expectations have largely settled on a September time frame, said Coard.

Yields on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, or TIPS, rose alongside Treasury yields on Monday, pushing the 10-year TIPS yield into positive territory for the first time since January 2012. The 10-year note last had an “ask” yield of 0.071%, according to Tradeweb.

TIPS yields have climbed dramatically since the beginning of the year, helping to bring down breakeven rates — the rate of inflation necessary for inflation-protected securities to outperform their Treasury counterparts — to 2.11% on Monday, according to Ira Jersey, interest-rate strategist with Credit Suisse Group AG.

Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s revised the outlook on its U.S. sovereign debt rating to stable from negative on Monday, signifying a positive assessment of the economy. S&P, which downgraded the U.S. rating by one notch to AA+ in 2011, said there was less than a one-in-three chance of another near-term downgrade, citing economic strength, robust monetary policy and the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency.

The revision of the outlook to stable also reflects a broadly improving outlook for U.S. economic growth.

“All these signs are positive for the economy. Whether or not we can sustain it is another question, but the economy has got enough momentum to take the pressure off the rating,” said di Galoma of ED&F Man.

Nonetheless, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard, a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee this year, highlighted one lagging part of the economy in a speech Monday. He said that low inflation has given the Fed room to continue to pursue its aggressive monetary policy. Bullard is the last member of the Fed to speak before next week’s meeting of the central bank. His comments helped Treasury prices to pare some morning losses.

U.S. stocks finished little changed on Monday after a choppy session.

Allegations against Rep. Jim Jordan could derail his political career

Published: July 11, 2018 6:37 p.m. ET

Ohio Republican accused of ignoring colleague’s sexual misconduct in 1990s

Rep. Jim Jordan, asks a question during a congressional committee hearing on June 28.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, faces an uncertain political future, as GOP lawmakers and aides question whether his high-profile role as a conservative instigator can survive allegations that he didn’t try to stop a team doctor’s alleged sexual misconduct on the Ohio State University wrestling team.

A series of former members of the team, where Jordan was an assistant coach in the 1990s, said last week that he was aware of the improper conduct but didn’t take action. The wrestlers, as well as athletes from other sports, said Dr. Richard Strauss, who died in 2005, conducted unnecessary, full-body physical examinations, inappropriately touched them and regularly watched them shower.

Jordan has said he wasn’t aware of any allegations at the time. “We’re getting all kinds of support. Six coaches and all kinds of wrestlers have said the same thing I have. You know why they said that? Because it’s the truth,” Jordan said Wednesday.

Some House Republicans defended Jordan this week, including Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. Jordan helped found the group of roughly three-dozen of the most conservative House Republicans and he is still considered its master strategist by many lawmakers. But privately, other House Republicans and strategists said Jordan’s career could be in jeopardy. Jordan has said he is considering running to replace departing House Speaker Paul Ryan. But the recent allegations could hinder his ability to act as the public face of the Freedom Caucus in major negotiations and the leadership race, some lawmakers said.

Exhibition: “Richard Le Gallienne, Liverpool’s Wild(e) Poet”, August – October 2016

Title: “Richard Le Galliene: Liverpool’s Wild(e) Poet”

Exhibition Curators: Mark Samuels Lasner, Margaret D. Stetz

When:  5 August–31 October 2016

Where: Liverpool Central Library,William Brown Street, Liverpool L3 8E, UK

The Liverpool Central Library commemorates the 150th anniversary of the birth in Liverpool of Richard Le Gallienne (1866–1947)poet, critic, and novelist—with an exhibition in its Hornby Library. On display are over 50 rare or unique items, many highlighting his lifelong connections to Oscar Wilde (1854–1900). Original photographs, drawings, manuscripts, unpublished letters, Victorian periodicals, and first editions tell the story of Le Gallienne’s successful literary career, which took him from Liverpool to London, the US, and France. Drawn from public and private collections and local institutions (including family papers in the Liverpool Record Office of Liverpool Central Library), these materials show his importance to the Aesthetic and Decadent movements, his involvement with the Yellow Book, his intimate ties to late-Victorian feminists known as “New Women,” and his links to artists such as Max Beerbohm and Walter Sickert.

Most of all, this exhibition illuminates the role that Oscar Wilde played as his idol, mentor, and friend—a relationship that began when 17-year-old Dick Gallienne, clerk in a Liverpool office, heard Wilde lecture in 1883 at the Claughton Music Hall in Birkenhead. Inspired by Wilde’s personal style and ideas about art, he renamed himself “Richard Le Gallienne,” wore long hair and artistic clothes, and dedicated himself to becoming an equally flamboyant figure and unconventional writer, devoted to Beauty in all its forms.

Mark Samuels Lasner is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Delaware Library. One of the foremost collectors of work by late-Victorian writers and artists—and recipient of the Sir Thomas More medal from the University of San Francisco to honor his “private collecting, [as] a public benefit”—he is also a bibliographer and author of The Yellow Book: A Checklist and Index (1998), The Bookplates of Aubrey Beardsley (2008), and other books.

Margaret D. Stetz, Ph.D, is the Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women’s Studies and Professor of Humanities at the University of Delaware, USA. She is author of over 100 published essays, many of them on Wilde and his times—e. g., “Oscar Wilde and the New Woman” in Oscar Wilde in Context (Cambridge UP, 2013)—and of books such as British Women’s Comic Fiction, 1890–1990 (2001) and Facing the Late Victorians (2007). With Mark Samuels Lasner, she has curated numerous exhibitions, including Gender and the London Theatre (Bryn Mawr College Library, 2003) and “Everything Is Going on Brilliantly”: Oscar Wilde and Philadelphia (The Rosenbach of the Free Library of Philadelphia, 2015).Liverpool LeG flyer copy

Tocopherols are involved in immune function, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression, and other metabolic processes. They also inhibit lipid oxidation by donating their phenolic hydrogen to lipid free radicals.1 Antioxidant activity in vivo is normally alpha>beta>delta>gamma but the antioxidant potency may depend on various chemical and physical situations.2 The ortho-methyl substitution of the chroman head plays a vital role in the antioxidant activity of tocopherols while the phytyl tail is very important for proper positioning in the biomembranes. The antioxidant properties of tocopherols may delay memory loss in Down’s syndrome patients due to their protection from harmful oxidation caused by excess activity of superoxide dismutase. Tocopherols are only naturally produced in plants, algae, and some cyanobacteria and are therefore important dietary nutrients for humans and animals.

New Wellness Based CoWorking on Maui

spaces Maui

By Jeannine Bourque, Founder

A workspace with a sense of lightness and inspiration is where I thrive. Who wants to work in a dungeon? I have (well not technically, but it felt like one) and it’s not pleasant. The energy of the space was stagnate, and so was my creativity. I have worked in luxury spas most of my career, and there has only been one office space that reflected the same beautiful aesthetic as the spa design our guests would see. Funny now looking back, I stayed there the longest. When the time came for me to venture on my own I was looking for a co-working space on Maui. Lucky for me SPACESMaui had just opened its doors in Pukalani a few minutes away from my home.

coworking Maui

At first glance it seemed like a humble little plantation house, but once inside I saw a beautiful infusion of modern design and functionality – perfect for a modern day entrepreneur. A wooden frame greeted me as I entered, showing the plantation home in its original character back in the 1950’s. The plantation house was home to Rebecca and Louis Fernandez, a hardworking family of 14 who lived the country lifestyle, working the land and being of service to their surrounding communities.

Now, owners Jazmyne and Julius Geis are honoring Maui’s past while carrying Hawaii’s entrepreneurs into the future. Julius got the idea of wanting to open a co-working space as he embarked on his journey and established On Any Given Monday, one of the first remote strategic branding agencies. His team expands from Hawai’i, Australia, Belize, the United States to Portugal.

“Let’s be honest – remote work has its challenges: Many lonely cups of coffee and the constant chase of new projects,” Julius shared. “At OAGM, our decision against the comfort of the 9 to 5 box is deliberate – we use the creative potential of remote work to build our lives and careers on purpose and passion, and not a soul-crushing paycheck.”

Maui shared coworking

The atmosphere doesn’t compare to a distracting coffee shop, my lonely living room or a boring hotel business center –my typical work spots before finding SPACESMaui. Inside everyone is buzzing and making things happen. On Monday, I meet a cannabis medical doctor visiting from New York, on Tuesday a finance director from Montana, on Wednesday a programmer for the state of Hawaii, and so on. It reminds me of my hospitality days of getting to know people from all over the world. It is a melting pot for inspiration and connection – how we all should be working! My favorite part of is I don’t have to compromise my sense of wellbeing at work.

Upon entrance I smell an infusion of peppermint, eucalyptus, hyssop and rosemary essential oils that allows me to tackle my morning tasks with fresh enthusiasm and focus. I make my chai latte with the foam on top. My delight for the morning. When I am ready for a break I either melt in the lounge chair smelling lavender essential oil or sit outside on the porch with a cup of ALOHA tea and take in the views of Haleakala. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and ground myself. Creativity and opportunities only happen in the moment. I remind myself to stay present.

“What is special is the space’s holistic approach,” Julius said. “The senses we use in the essential oil diffuser, the light we use, the way we furnish and decorate, the colors we chose… it is all very intentional. The way we email and talk with everyone. We pay attention to the details.”

Julius is avid about offering companies and individuals opportunities to grow into their full potential. The moment I told him I was passionate about wellness, and had an idea about organizing wellness events for members at SPACESMaui he was all for it!

maui coworking

Now I am bringing in wellness professionals within my network at The Seeking Root to offer a opportunity to practice incorporating wellness into one’s life to find inspiration, increase productivity and creativity. Work, Play & Picnic is a series of events, where we do mini wellness workshops during the lunch hour, and picnic together to offer a chance to connect and socialize.

“There are a lot of people that are making choices to be able to work and live wherever they want to. Many are coming home or are brand new to the island,” Jazmyne said. “They have talent and skills but maybe don’t have a space quite yet to start their work, so we wanted to be that space for them where they could share their talents and start to integrate with the community here.”

It is a community. A community for bright ideas, rocket scientists and entrepreneurs. Whether visiting Maui or this is home, know that you don’t have to take the outdated lone route to be an entrepreneur anymore. Julius always says, “Our office is your office.”
