Mr. Doyle awoke.  Familiar was the scene - his large master bedroom, plenty of sunlight coming in from the outside to freshen up his morning, the cat wanting to be let out, as always.  Upon closer inspection, however, something was different today, and this didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Doyle; a dirty shirt and pair of old jeans lay on the otherwise pristine carpeted floor.  For a split second, he was taken aback, as the past 37 years had conditioned him to expect a spotless room upon his awakening.

    You know how those got there.  Quit playing fucking games.

He stood, and went into the kitchen to brew some coffee.  He hadn't done so himself in years, possibly decades even, he thought - ah, but what does it matter.  This was a new day, a fresh beginning.  Despite being on the verge of 62, Mr. Doyle felt a certain invigoration that hadn't been felt since his teenage years.

     You saw it yourself, Doyle.  With your own eyes.  But are you sure?
Completely.  What sense would it make to not be sure?  That would defeat the entire purpose - NO.  No doubts, no regrets - this was Mr. Doyle's new resolve in life, that he'd sworn to uphold that very night before.  He was a new man, *satisfied* for once with everything around him.

    You're not sure.
He was sure that that coffee was damn good though, he thought.  He walked past his sliding glass to the backyard, his shovel still right where he left it, outside the door.

    You said yourself you were going back.  You didn't.  She's coming.
She's dead, thought Mr. Doyle.  Nothing will change that, he'd already made that decision and come to terms with it.

    Any moment now, Mr. Doyle, she'll be knocking.  And she won't be happy.
No, no - that bitch is gone.  No longer will I let her walk all over me, no more of my money to be taken, no more of what I've done, what I've made, what I've accomplished to be shit upon by some whore -

    Who do you think you are, Mr. Doyle?  Death only stops the undetermined.
That was the REASON, that's the fucking 'motive', she was a god damned parasite, taking everything I ever had, every emotion I'd let out and just demoralizing every ounce of it -

    And you think you can just, what?  Kill her, and it stops?  Minutes now, Mr. Doyle.
NO, she isn't coming, she's right the fuck where I left her last night, I dealt the finishing blow, I watched her take her last sweet breath of air, I took from her what she had been trying to take from me for so many years.  *I win, bitch.*

    No, Mr. Doyle, you lose.  She's here.  And she's angry.
Knocking.  Mr. Doyle was probably losing his mind - but his sense of hearing was intact, and he heard it.  No mistake.  It was *her knock*, the special pattern that Mr. Doyle had grown accustomed to.  His heart dropped, everything went silent.  He listened, and the knock came again.  With haste.

YOU WANT AN EXPLANATION, BITCH?  YOU WON'T GET SHIT. I'M DONE WITH YOU FUCKING WITH MY HEAD, I'M DONE WITH YOU TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A FUCKING CHILD, I'M DONE PAYING FOR YOUR BULLSHIT, I'M DONE GETTING STEPPED ON LIKE GARBAGE, I'M FUCKING DONE WITH YOU.

Mr. Doyle produced a blade from a holder in the kitchen, and began violently sawing at his neck.

title: Mr. Doyle

question: How can Mr. Doyle be described?

answer: Mr. Doyle is an old man that sticks to his habits. He has lived in a pristine environment and is very orderly. He seems to be going though a split personality disorder where he is having two sides of him come out. He has a severe anger issue with a woman, to the point where he is willing to kill her.

question: How did Mr. Doyle react when he heard the woman's knock?

answer: Mr. Doyle completely lost his temper when he he heard the woman knock twice. He yelled that he was done talking with her and was done paying for her bullshit. In the end, Mr. Doyle took a blade from his kitchen and started sawing at his neck.

question: Would the woman care about Mr. Doyle killing himself?

The Tavern owner was uneasy over the uncharacteristic quite of the seven me sitting at the poker table. All of them had the look of men who wanted desperately to forget something they saw. Of the men sitting at the poker table David was the only the Tavern owner new by name. David was the second in command of a posse that had set up a few mile up river of the little no named town. Of all the members of the posse David was the most approachable and slow to anger. A tavern is a place for gossip and stories. David was often asked to share stories of his time in service during the 30 year war. David was one of the few who had managed to live through the entire war and had plenty of stories to make any man give up hope of valor. He was not one to scare easily. But the way he stared at his empty glass spoke of a fear that shook him to his core.
As the Tavern owner sent another serving girl to replace empty mugs with ones full of his best brew, foot steps began to sound on the landing that ran along the length of the tavern. As they grew closer he could make out the sound of someone moving quickly but the person seemed to have a bad limp. Then bursting into the tavern Richard, leader of the posse burst through the doors and tried to run to the bar but his wounded leg would not let him. Looking closely at Richards right leg the Tavern owner could see that the meat on it was shredded to pieces, in some places he could see the white of bone.
Reaching behind the counter he grabbed a bottle, ripped the cork out and took a long swallow. Turning to look at those who sat gaping and staring openly at his leg he found his men.
"Dave", he croaked. "You have to hide me". Limping toward his one time friend he pulled up short when David placed his revolver on the table. Everyone sat in stunned silence for a long moment.
The Tavern owner was pulled away from the scene by the sound of heavy foot falls that was already near the tavern door. As the door opened with a slow deliberate creak all eyes turned to the man that entered two steps into the tavern. The man looked from Richard to the seven men sitting at the table then back to Richard.
With a deep calm voice he addressed the entire tavern. "Those who want no part of this may leave." He said walking to the bar. The man was of average height and build. His clothes fit him well but were the faded grey of clothes that were once black. Even through his clothing it was clear that this man was well muscled. He moved with the calm confidence that comes from a lifetime of fighting. But something about him was off.
the right sleeve of his duster was a long enough to cover his hand. But he was drawn to the bony shape underneath, barely visible through the fabric as he walked.
"Water", he said speaking to the Tavern owner. "And oil".
The Tavern owner moved to the back room to do as he was bid as the last of the patrons left the tavern. Richard was slumped on the floor back pressed against the wall with nothing but fear in his eyes. Walking back into the main room the Tavern owner barely managed to place the glass of water and can of oil onto the counter. His eyes wide as he stare at what was left of Richards head. Then he doubled over to vomit.

The link was to a website where the story was typed out in one continous page, and there was a little paragraph about the story at the top of the page saying that the ending was really powerful and you *must not* read the ending first. Also at the top of the page was a quote from the author stating that this particular short story was, in his opinion, the best he had ever written.

The alarm goes off. Slowly, he opens his eyes to see the white-washed ceiling of his bedroom. He reaches for his glasses on the night stand; after groping around for a few seconds he slowly remembers knocking them to the floor the night before. He bends over to pick them up and shambles to the bathroom to take a piss; he displays all the accuracy of someone living alone. After vaguely rinsing his hands and wiping them on a towel he goes back for his phone. Walking into the bedroom he notices an odd shadow halfway up the curtains on the opposite wall moments before they come crashing down and an angry cat goes sprinting past his ankles. Walking to the edge of the bed he sits down and picks his phone up off the night stand to check the time: 6:37 am. He sighs and checks his messages: no calls, texts, or emails. Today, Tuesday, is his birthday. He wonders how long it's been since anyone cared. He proceeds through his usual morning routine: a forceful bowel movement; comfortably warm shower; and indulgent smoke break, all under the watchful glare of his two cats. He checks the kitty litter, fills water bowl, and gives the cats a can of food. Upon completion of this morning ritual he grabs his keys and heads off to work. Three and a half hours later he returns home for lunch, a depressing mix of fast food and cigarettes. He pets his cats and returns to work. Just trying to get through the day, he sits in his cubicle with his headphones on in an attempt to dissuade his coworkers from approaching him, a tactic that rarely works. On this day he is not disturbed. Upon completing another glorious day of data entry he drives back to the home he rents and the cats he shares his life with. More fast food and more cigarettes see him through the evening. Nothing exciting happened on this day or any of the ones that came before it. He went to sleep believing that nothing exciting would happen on the days following either.

The next day begins much the same as the first; his alarm goes off at 6:35 and he wakes up. He rolls to his side to grab his phone and checks it: nothing. He sighs. For some reason, he just can't seem to get out of bed. Around 9 he decides to call in sick but instead chooses not to bother. And so he decides to draw a bath. He walks into the bathroom with determination, plugging the drain and turning the hot water to max. At this point the cats take interest in his actions; one seats itself on the side of the tub and the other, more cautious, upon the tank of the toilet. He disrobes. The tub reaches half full; he steps into it and lowers himself down. The water is quite hot and very comfortable; it makes him smile. He enjoys a cigarette. He grabs the hilt of the knife and checks the blade against the tip of his finger; again he smiles. Taking a firm grip on the knife he slides the blade down the length of his left forearm. He takes a moment to enjoy the pleasure in the pain before dropping the knife onto the bathroom floor. He settles back against the tub. The cats push the knife around the floor and lick up a couple drops of blood before meowing expectantly and walking towards the kitchen.

I dropped my purse. It was one of those Louis Vuitton bags that cost me about two paychecks’ worth. That’s what I cared about, superficially. I didn’t care about my credit cards I lost because of my massive debt. I was a compulsive shopper who had repressed the abuses in Victoria Secret bras that are too big to cover the bruises of my boxer boyfriend—the same guy who had not won a bout in three years.

I had five tampons flop out of the left pocket. Maybe that’s why people were staring at me. Some laughs were distributed, too. But it was loud; the foot stomping and external conversations were outmatching the discreet laughter of the strangers surrounding me. I know this, in retrospect. Grand Central was packed and I had no time to stop.

I kept walking.

The hairs from the back of my neck were up. I know they were still staring as I turned my back towards them, exiting the Grand.

The embarrassment was replaced by a humid sunny day in downtown New York. It was June. Not a great month to be out walking in the City. The day was clear, about noon, I’d say, but not so clear at the same time. The beads of sweat formed on my forehead as the humid breeze assaulted my sundress from underneath. The sweat rolled down to my eyes, stinging them.

The tampons were still on the floor of Grand Central, but my memories of his abusive rhetoric as he fucked me were unbearable in thought. _(Imagine when it actually happened.)_ It felt so good to be me at the moment.

I didn’t know why, but not far from Grand Central, I found the 1 train to the SoHo train station entrance and had found myself, each step towards the gum-encased concrete floor of the underground as the retired couple fro behind questioned my sanity, affirming their misery, and hoping they don’t miss the train because thy were walking cases of irreversible rheumatism.
He fucked me—hard, very hard—but I don’t reach anything more than that. Oh, I was a _cunt bitch big-sassed dumb piece of shit fucking retard, who was only good for open-legged fun._ PlayLand had nothing on me, I guess.

The scenes replayed on my mind, muting the Jewish old couple behind me as my sandaled foot stepped on the third descending step. They were muted, but I knew that I had heard their insults in a past life.

After what seemed like forever, I was by the entranceway of the subway. Shit, I thought, no purse—no card. I jumped past the subway toll, the subway employee yelling at me from behind the plexiglass service station, and I heard the tracks screeching. The train is near, I said to myself. The 1 had neared, second by second.

He fucked me—hard, very hard.

_Fuck you, you pathetic cunt. (Slap) You’re nothing! (Slap) I’m so glad your mother’s dead! She won’t have to deal with broken bitches like you! (Slap) How about your dad? He fucked this pussy, didn’t he? I bet I was good when he did, I said to myself, the train’s force destroying my rib cage, liver, kidneys, splattering onto the tracks._

The humidity in the air was a sharp breeze of cold November that had left me dead without a sweater.

_He fucked me—hard, very hard. But he can no longer hurt me…_

The 1969–70 NCAA UNIVERSITY DIVISION MEN'S ICE HOCKEY SEASON began in November 1969 and concluded with the 1970 NCAA University Division Men's Ice Hockey Tournament's championship game on March 21, 1970, at the Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, New York. This was the 23rd season in which an NCAA ice hockey championship was held and is the 75th year overall where an NCAA school fielded a team.

In 1969 the NCAA changed their bylaws to permit freshman to play on the Varsity team. Beginning with this season universities were permitted to not only have first-year students play for their teams but to also have said players earn letters for four seasons rather than the previous limit of three. As a consequence the WCHA offered both a Sophomore-of-the-Year and Freshman-of-the-Year awards with the previous being formally retired following the campaign.

Cornell finished the 1969–70 season with an undefeated record of 24–0, only the second flawless campaign in the modern history of Division I ice hockey. The previous unblemished season (Clarkson in 1955–56), however, came with a caveat as 8 Golden Knight players were 4-year seniors (a violation of NCAA regulations at the time).[1] As a result, the Clarkson team declined to play in the NCAA tournament. Cornell's undefeated team had no such issues and was able to compete in, and win, both their conference tournament and the NCAA tournament to become the first and thus far only undefeated NCAA champion (as of 2016).

text:
GIULIO FIESCO (possibly born ?1519, fl. 1550–1570) was an Italian composer of the Renaissance, active in Ferrara, known for his madrigals. He was the first composer to set the poetry of Giovanni Battista Guarini, the most often-set poet by madrigalists of the late 16th century, and was an important court composer for the rich musical establishment of the Este family in Ferrara.

Life

Details of Fiesco's life are sketchy. He was probably born in Ferrara and seems to have spent most of his life there. François-Joseph Fétis, the 19th-century French musicologist, claimed dates of 1519 to 1586 for Fiesco, but as he did not give his sources, it is not known if he had access to some documentation no longer extant. Alfred Einstein also reports these dates in _The Italian Madrigal_, with the additional detail that Fiesco was likely a lutenist.[1] Fiesco was connected to the Estense court as indicated by the dedications in his madrigal collections, and may have been employed at the church of San Francesco, since he is buried there. It is also possible that he was employed personally by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este.[2]

[Alfonso II d'Este, Fiesco's patron]

In 1567 the poet Giovanni Battista Guarini entered into the service of Alfonso II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara. No poet was more influential on music history in the late Renaissance than Guarini, whose works were set more often by madrigal composers than those of any other poet; Fiesco was significant as the first composer ever to set Guarini's poetry to music. Not only did he set poetry by Guarini, but in the dedication to the madrigal book he claimed he wrote it at the poet's request: and he dedicated the entire group of compositions to Lucrezia and Leonora d'Este.[3]

Fiesco is not mentioned in any known payment records from Ferrara, a useful source of information on musicians, and he vanishes completely from written record around 1570. The publication dates of his madrigal collections range from 1554 to 1569.[4]

Works and influence

All of Fiesco's surviving works are secular and vocal. He published four books of madrigals, in 1554, 1563, 1567, and 1569, dedicating all four to members of the Este family. Of these four books, the first and last have gotten the most attention. His compositions in the first book of 1554 show most directly the influence of Cipriano de Rore, the most renowned mid-century composer of madrigals, who was then the _maestro di cappella_ in Ferrara for Duke Ercole II d'Este. Fiesco's compositions in this book are for four voices, and include madrigals in the classic style, chromatically experimental works (for example _Bacio soave_, which shows also the influence of Nicola Vicentino, who actively encouraged such experiments), as well as music likely intended for performance at dramatic events staged for the Este family. His poetry settings include works by Boccaccio, Giovanni Batista Strozzi, Bernardo Tasso, Sannazaro, Ludovico Ariosto, and Petrarch.[5]

Fiesco's last book of madrigals, the _Musica nuova_, for five voices, is his most famous, for it is the first appearance of the poetry of Guarini set to music. Fourteen out of the fifteen poems in the collection are sonnets, and the style matches the elegance of the language, attaining considerable virtuosity in text setting.[6] Some of the settings are innovative harmonically and rhythmically, with one madrigal, _S'armi pur d'ira disdegnoso ed empio_, foreshadowing the Baroque _stile concitato_ of rapid declamation over a homophonic texture.[7]

Not all of Fiesco's works are madrigals. He published a few secular songs in lighter current forms such as the _greghesca_ and the _napolitane,_ forms of Venetian and Neapolitan origin respectively.[8]

title: Giulio Fiesco

question: Summarize Giulio Fiesco's musical works.

answer: Giulio Fiesco is best known for his madrigals. He published four books of them from 1554 to 1569, and all were dedicated to the Este family. The last book is the most famous because it was the first time the poetry of Giovanni Battista Guarini was set to music. He also published a few secular songs in forms such as the greghesca and the napolitane. He vanishes from written record around 1570.

question: Summarize Giulio Fiesco's personal life.

answer: Giulio Fiesco was supposedly born in 1519, probably in Ferrara. Fiesco was connected to the Estense court and may have been employed at the church of San Francesco. Giulio Fiesco was the first to set the poetry of the famous poet Giovanni Battista Guarini to music. He claimed to have written it at the poet's request, and dedicated the collection to Lucrezia and Leonora d'Este. Giulio Fiesco vanished from all written records around 1570, though some historians claim he lived until 1586.

question: Summarize Giulio Fiesco's relationship to the Este family.

answer: Giulio Fiesco was an important court composer for the Este family in Ferrara. The Este family employed several poets and Fiesco put their works to music, along with writing other songs. Fiesco's most famous works are four books of madrigals, all of which were dedicated to members of the Este family.

She left for a reason. Leanna calmly reminded herself of the simple truth that she seemingly couldn’t wrap her head around. It was even written across her mirror in whiteboard marker.

“You left for a reason”

The words mocked her every morning when she brushed her teeth and every night when she took out her contacts. Of course she left for a reason, and she didn’t just leave, she left. Leanna moved to a different city, found a new job, spent time with new friends. The only thing in her life that wasn’t new was the fact that she thought about Anthony all day.

Two months wasn’t enough time to make it all okay. But Leanna hoped more than she bothered to admit that if she spent enough time pretending that she didn’t believe in love, eventually she would forget that she had ever felt love in the first place.
------
Nowadays she didn’t believe in anything. Her nights bled into her days. If Leanna were to look back at the previous four months, she would find an endless parade of bartenders pouring rum and faceless men leaving her apartment. She wasn’t happy, but she wasn’t sad. And sometimes, she often told herself, not being sad is enough.

She was restless. Leanna didn’t know what more she should want, and she didn’t bother looking. A new quote made its way onto her mirror.

“Love is a lie.”

She scoffed at the few who bothered to disagree with her.  There was no part of her that missed Anthony, which seemed to prove her new eternal truth was fact.  How could something that faded so quickly possibly have been real in the first place?

Leanna charmed men with her indifference, and sent them packing when they told her how much she meant to them. There was no place for sentiment in her life, and she wasn’t afraid to admit it. Occasionally people would tell her there was more to living. Allegedly a life without emotion wasn’t much of a life at all.  She gave them the same expression generally reserved for hopeless romantics.
------
She met a writer. He drank more than she did, and enjoyed the sex just as much. They spent their days together and usually their nights. His words filled her life and enchanted her in a way she had forgotten. She read every book he lent her, usually more than once. Stories he’d written, and sometimes even his diary, filled her spare time. With every word he wrote, she told herself more firmly that she adored him.

His stories ran through her thoughts, and one day she replaced the echo of a mantra written across her mirror.

“Wanderlust”

They took trips together to vineyards and breweries and distant state parks where they spent the weekend camping. She still wasn’t happy, but when she was lost in books, the days bled into weeks into months. She was certain she’d never leave so long as he kept writing.

The writer struggled to keep her attention, but his stories grew stale. Trying to tame the girl was a full time job, and often his typewriter went days without a glance. His adoration of her stole his imagination. No longer were his dreams filled with astronauts, tigers, and foreign lands. He thought only of her.

The magic was broken when he proposed. She remembered she didn’t believe in love and she laughed. She reminded him that he hadn’t written anything in weeks, and she walked out the door. The writer was devastated. He phoned a friend in a different city and left that night.
-----
He had bought a white board marker on the trip to his new city, and a new typewriter. Richard vowed never to fall in love again. His first order of business in the new apartment was to write on his bathroom mirror.

“Get your shit together.”

The simple sentence, written in his slanting print seemed to laugh at him. For the amount of joy the words took in watching him piece his life together he might as well have written, “Schadenfreude.”  Richard struggled to start writing once more, and to that effect he took up drinking as a second profession.

Many a night Richard would stumble home and barely pull off his shoes before falling into bed. Every morning he brushed the taste of stale cigarettes and lonely women off his teeth before pouring a glass of whiskey and sitting down at the typewriter. His best work was a result of those months. Publishers asked about his books, and girls fawned over his stories.

Richard was always cautious of girls who loved his work. After the last girl, he took the ability to even read off his list of deal breakers. He was alone, and he liked it that way.
-----
Richard’s liver protested at the whiskey he drank. He ignored its complaints and changed nothing about his life. If he was going to die, Richard was determined to die the death of an artist. He silently proved his point by smoking twice as many cigarettes and drinking twice as much whiskey. The only love in his life was his typewriter. When sat in front of it, he often forgot there was a world outside of his cramped apartment.

His books had sold well and he could’ve left, but Richard never did. He
stared at the new mantra written across his mirror.

“Art is Pain.”

He remembered the girl who had loved his words.  He wrote about her. Occasionally he contemplated sending her a copy of his most recent novel, but never did. Richard was alone. He wasn’t happy, but he wasn’t sad. Sometimes it’s enough to just not be sad.

title: Mantras (about love and moving on)

question: Summarize the motivations of the main characters.

answer: Both Leanna and Richard are almost dysfunctional people having trouble moving on. They both settle on a way of living that keeps them going on, barely. The feeling of loss and abandonment causes them to shun deep relationships entirely, so they prefer to dull their senses with alcohol and have meaningless sex with strangers.

question: What does the text say about how to love living?

Special Notice

Forest Road 2 in the Croom Tract is closed due to wet conditions. The road will remain closed from Forest Road 3 to Forest Road 7 until further notice.

Withlacoochee State Forest is currently the third largest state forest in Florida and is divided into several distinct tracts of land. Using sound ecosystem management, the Florida Forest Service provides for multiple use of the forest resources. The forest is managed for timber, wildlife, ecological restoration and outdoor recreation.

Withlacoochee State Forest was acquired by the federal government from private landowners between 1936 and 1939 under the provisions of the U.S. Land Resettlement Administration. The U.S. Forest Service managed the property until a lease-purchase agreement transferred the property to the Florida Board of Forestry in 1958.

Location

Withlacoochee State Forest's location provides convenient access for many visitors since it is within two hours driving time from Cape Canaveral, Orlando and several other points of interest. The state forest is located in west central Florida with headquarters located on U.S. Highway 41 approximately seven miles north of the town of Brooksville and 50 miles north of Tampa.

Natural Features

[WSF_sandhill cranes]

Withlacoochee is an Indian word meaning "crooked river," which accurately describes the river as it makes its 70-mile journey from the Green Swamp in northern Polk County to the Gulf of Mexico at Yankeetown. Withlacoochee State Forest has several waterways that flow through different portions of the property. The Withlacoochee River, Little Withlacoochee River and Jumper Creek have all been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters. The most notable is the Withlacoochee River, which meanders through 13 miles of the forest.

Trees of many species create dense woodlands and canopy trails. Species found on the forest include slash pine, longleaf pine, pond cypress, bald cypress, oak, maple, southern magnolia, gum and hickory. Springtime forest visitors will be delighted with the colorful abundance of wildflowers. Flower varieties such as goldenrod, thistle and blazing star can be found along state forest roadways.

Wildlife is abundant and there are a number of species that are listed as endangered, threatened or species of special concern. Bald eagle, fox squirrel and gopher tortoise may be seen, along with white-tailed deer, wild turkey, rabbit and gray squirrel.

Recreation

[320-withlacoochee-horseback-riding]

Named one of the "10 Coolest Places You've Never Been in North America" by the World Wildlife Fund, Withlacoochee State Forest is a haven for the outdoor enthusiast. Activities include miles of trails for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and canoeing.

Seasonal hunting is available in most of the forest, and fishing is plentiful on Withlacoochee’s many lakes and waterways.

Several campgrounds are available and feature developed and primitive campsites. The forest also has group camps for organized youth group excursions.

Croom Motorcycle Area provides 2,600 acres of off-road facilities for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

Several day-use facilities are located on the forest and provide areas for picnicking and wildlife viewing.

Growing your company’s employee base should be a time of excitement and potential. Unfortunately, for IT departments around the globe, it can quickly become a time of dread and frustration. Many organizations manually onboard and offboard users which consumes IT time and resources. Fortunately, there’s an easier way. In this post, we’ll define user lifecycle management, how it works, and why companies should adopt an automated onboarding and offboarding process. Let’s get started!

WHAT IS USER LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT?

User lifecycle management (ULM) begins the day a candidate accepts a job offer and continues until that employee leaves the company. For HR and IT departments, this means creating user credentials and connecting new employees to cloud resources. User provisioning is the process of creating and managing user access to applications and resources in the cloud. Smaller organizations might manage these processes manually, but when done at scale, the process can become error-prone and time-consuming. Automated provisioning does in seconds what could typically take an IT staff hours to do manually.

HOW DOES ONELOGIN SUPPORT USER LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT?

New hires are typically added to a company directory like Active Directory (AD) or LDAP. OneLogin’s real-time user provisioning solution instantly synchronizes with on-prem and cloud directories to provision new user accounts to commonly used apps like Office 365, Google Apps, and Slack. Additionally, companies leverage groups and memberships to assign users to role-specific applications. For instance, a new hire in marketing may require access to Marketo, Salesforce, and Google Analytics. Adding the new hire to the Marketing group will automatically enroll the user in the required marketing apps, so that they’re readily available on day one. By automating provisioning workflows, IT departments gain operational efficiency and save time which frees up IT resources.

The same goes when an employee leaves a company. Remember we mentioned the risks associated with offboarding former employees? When an employee leaves a company, if they aren’t properly offboarded, they may continue to have access to company apps and resources. Automated deprovisioning offers organizations a “kill-switch” that immediately cuts off access to former employees. Once a user is disabled or deleted from an organization’s directory, a kill switch ensures that the user is immediately terminated from all apps and sessions upon their departure.

WHY AUTOMATE PROVISIONING AND DEPROVISIONING?

Automated user provisioning has many benefits. While smaller organizations might be able to manually manage user onboarding workflows, user lifecycle management becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming for growing and larger businesses.

Automated provisioning offers a better onboarding experience for new hires. Instead of manually provisioning users to the apps they need, an automated workflow ensures new hires have the apps they need the first time they sit at their new desk. OneLogin has a growing catalog of pre-integrated apps that enable organizations to automatically enroll new users in the apps they need.

Manual deprovisioning workflows are a thorn in the side of IT departments. Automated deprovisioning limits security risk by ensuring former employees are deprovisioned—not weeks after they leave—but, the moment an employee is terminated. This means former employees lose access to apps and sensitive company data before they even leave the building.

STILL NEED CONVINCING?

Take it from one of our customers. Evernote partnered with OneLogin during a period of rapid growth. For years their IT team managed internal users through a homegrown, on-premise solution. As the company began to scale, the onboarding and offboarding process became more time consuming. As they moved their company to the cloud, they eventually worked with OneLogin to manage the entire identity and lifecycle management of their users with minimal internal IT management. “We have come such a long way, we now have a highly organized, streamlined and efficient process for identity and access management. I can confidently say that since implementing OneLogin, we have experienced a 30% reduction in employee onboarding and offboarding time. I can’t imagine going back to the old way,” said Evernote IT Manager, Shams Mansoor.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning streamlines user lifecycle management for organizations. Manual workflows that are error-prone and take IT staff hours to complete can be made more agile and efficient through automated processes. OneLogin offers user lifecycle management solutions that deliver a simple, user-friendly experience for IT staff and new employees alike.

question: What does the text say about the benefits of automated user provisioning?

answer: While smaller organizations may be able to manually manage user onboarding workflows, it becomes a labor-intensive and time-consuming process for growing and larger businesses. Automated provisioning also creates a better onboarding experience for new hires, ensuring they have access to the tools they need when they first sit down at their desk. Automated deprovisioning also limits security risk by ensuring that former employees are deprovisioned the moment they are terminated.

question: What does the text say about OneLogin?

answer: OneLogin provides a real-time user provisioning solution that instantly synchronizes with on-premises and cloud directories to provision new user accounts to various commonly used apps. One of OneLogin's customers is Evernote, which has experienced a 30% reduction in employee onboarding and offboarding time.

The streetlights cast a forlorn light over the man, trudging slowly through the alleyway. His well-tailored suit, pristine shoes and immaculately coiffured hair gave the impression of success. The buildings on either side of the road loomed over him, their iron-shuttered shopfronts grinning at the man as he strode ever onward.  His colleagues called him arrogant, his CV talked of a “driven and determined personality”. He was Lucius Green, millionaire banker, tax avoider, and owner of the 3rd largest collection of Lamborghinis in the world. He didn’t like this part of town, he thought, as he zipped up his designer coat and looked warily over his shoulder.

“Save yourself!, for the day of the brother is almost upon us!”

A crazed and bedraggled old man shuffled up to Lucius, his eyes darting around inside his head like ants in a Petri dish. He was wearing nothing more than rags.

“Pardon?” Lucius answered, maintaining politeness while trying hard not to spit in the old fool’s face. He didn’t have time for this.

“The alignment has begun! Those in rags shall be saved, kings shall be overthrown! The riches of nations will turn to ruin! There will be no greater day than the day of the brother!”

The man began to shriek, flecks of phlegm hitting Lucius’ priceless clothing. “heed my words!” he screamed. Spooked, the banker began to run. He hailed a taxi and was back in the leafy womb of Knightsbridge, or “civilization” as he called it, in no time.

Lucius woke up and lazily pawed through his smartphone’s news app.  It was the usual mix of tragedy in the Middle East and governmental incompetence at home. But something caught his eye.

“Reports are surfacing that the King of Tonga, Tupou VI, has been deposed and killed at his extravagant palace by a mob of dissidents. Their motive remains unknown.”

*Kings shall be overthrown…*

A coincidence, surely. Lucius put down his phone and rolled out of bed. Another long day of making millions in the City awaited him, and all of it would go straight to his offshore account in…

“Tonga…” he said aloud.

*The riches of nations will turn to ruin…*

Another coincidence, surely.

Lucius strolled through the marble and glass hallways of his building, and was at his desk in seconds. He checked his email, informing him of his ever-larger bank balance.

Life was good.

Until the phone rang.

“Mr Green, I am calling from Brother Capital. It seems that due to the unforeseen circumstances in Tonga, your account has been frozen, and therefore you will not be able to use any of your assets”

The man down the line had a grey, monotonous voice. He was not someone to start an argument with.

Lucius slowly put down the phone.

*The riches of nations will turn to ruin….*

Did the old man have a point?

Brother Capital…

“Don’t be such a bloody fool!” Lucius barked at himself. Today was one of those days better spent on the deck of your yacht.

He was just unlucky that his account got frozen because of some political unrest in some unfathomably hot corner of the world… was he? He shook his head and turned on Bloomberg.

The colour red hit him first. Red arrows, pointing down, all across the bottom of the screen. His eyes widened in disbelief. The news anchor was frantic, trying to keep up with collapsing stocks across the world. NASDAQ, FTSE, DAX… all plummeting.

A single bead of sweat rolled down Lucius’ face. This was terminal. He had £60 million invested across the world, he was never going to get it all back…

Was there a way out?

*Those in rags shall be saved…*

*The riches of nations will turn to ruin…*

“He was right!”  “He was right!” Lucius sprinted out of the room, knocking two interns out of the way with frantic force. He spilled out of the building and onto the road, still screaming at the top of his lungs. He tore at his Ralph Lauren shirt and proclaimed to the sky:

“Save yourself! For the day of the brother is upon us!”

He was at once accosted by an angry taxi driver.

“You don’t understand! You’ll never understand!, It’s all over! The day is upon us!”

The ragged banker turned, and sprinted down an alleyway.

The KYOTO BOX is a solar cooker constructed from polypropylene with an acrylic plastic cover. The oven traps the suns rays, creating enough heat to cook or boil water.

Construction and use

Two nested cardboard or polypropylene boxes form the oven structure. Temperatures inside the box can quickly reach 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit)[1] on a sunny day. Temperatures could reach a maximum of 165 degrees Celsius.[2] Bohmer claimed that the oven was capable of boiling 10 liters of water in two to three hours.[3]

Solar cookers are being used by hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world. Solar cookers can also pasteurize or sterilize water to provide safe drinking water without using or collecting firewood.

Updated design

After the award of the Financial Times Climate Change Challenge 2009 the design of the Kyoto Box was modified from the original cardboard to polypropylene, boosting the cooking performance. A further innovation was the use of a white reflector instead of one covered with aluminum foil or Mylar

Inventor

The Norwegian inventor, Jon Bohmer, made the first model of the Kyoto Box with his daughters then aged 10 and 5 years old. It later won the FT Climate Change Challenge award, placing first in the competition.[4][5]

The GRAMMY AWARD FOR BEST ROCK INSTRUMENTAL PERFORMANCE was an honor presented to recording artists for quality instrumental rock performances at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.[1] Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to “honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position”.[2]

The award was first presented at the 22nd Grammy Awards in 1980 to Paul McCartney and the band Wings for “Rockestra Theme”. From 1986 to 1989, the category was known as BEST ROCK INSTRUMENTAL PERFORMANCE (ORCHESTRA, GROUP OR SOLOIST). According to the category description guide for the 52nd Grammy Awards, the award is presented to artists “for newly recorded rock, hard rock or metal instrumental performances”.[3]

As of 2011, Jeff Beck holds the records for the most wins, with six. Sting has received three awards, twice as a member of The Police—although he had no part in the band's “Behind My Camel”, the 1982 award winner which he did not write and refused to play on.[4]

Two-time recipients include Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana (once as a member of the band Santana), The Flaming Lips, Steve Vai, and brothers Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan (each once as part of the duo Vaughan Brothers). At the 51st Grammy Awards (2009), the tribute act Zappa Plays Zappa (led by Dweezil Zappa, son of Frank Zappa) earned an award for their performance of Frank's instrumental song “Peaches en Regalia”.[5] Dweezil and Frank have both received multiple nominations and even competed against one another in 1988. Joe Satriani holds the record for the most nominations (as well as the record for the most nominations without a win), with fourteen.

The award was discontinued before the 2012 awards due to a major overhaul of Grammy categories. All instrumental performances in the rock category were shifted to either the newly formed Best Rock Performance or Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance categories.

In the north, it is bordered by the Reserve Borki village, on the south it is surrounded by a perimeter of crop fields.

Vegetation

Study of vegetation in Borki was initiated by botanist V. M. Chernyaev in 1821. At that time Borki contained upland oak forest, within which was the pine grove of pine chalk (_Pinus sylvestris var. cretacea_). Traces of the oaks are still visible in the bushes on a steep slope descending to Kozynka. A pine grove was completely destroyed at the beginning of the twentieth century. Now on the slopes of the tract Borki there is forb-grass steppe vegetation which alternates with outcrops of Cretaceous rocks (marl). At the end of the last century in the upper part of Tracts slopes, people created small artificial plantations of black pine.[1]

In Borki there are three types of plants listed in the Red Book of Russia: Daphne sophia, Cotoneaster alaunicus, stipa pennata. Shrub Daphne sofia is the kind endemic to the Don basin. It occurs on the steep northern slope, among other shrubs and herbs with a dash of cereals.[2] It was first discovered here in 1903 by V. I. Taliev.

REMOTE RADAR HEAD TRIMINGHAM or RRH TRIMINGHAM is a TPS-77 radar station situated on the coast in the English county of Norfolk.[1] The site is located on the coast road between Cromer and Mundesley, 1 kilometre east of the village of Trimingham. The radar station is a satellite station of RAF Neatishead (). This radar station is controlled and maintained by a section of Radar Technicians and Operators and supported by a team of Ground Engineers. Trimingham provides extensive coverage of the East coast of the United Kingdom and helps contribute to the recognised air picture and defence of the United Kingdom. The type 93 became operational on the site in April 1997.

History

The radar station was established on the cliff top at Trimingham by the British Army in the latter part of 1941.[2] It was used to detect German E-Boats and low flying aircraft and was then equipped with a CD Mk.4 radar. The station also operated as an Oboe Navigation Station. Oboe worked using two stations at different and well-separated locations in England to transmit a signal to a Mosquito Pathfinder bomber carrying a radio transponder. The transponder reflected the signals, which were then received by the two stations. The round-trip time of each signal gave the distance to the bombers and guided them to their target.[3]

In April 1942, Trimingham was transferred from the authority of the War Office over to the Air Ministry. The site had now been installed with a Chain Home Extra Low (CHEL)/CD Type 54 radar on a tower. By 1945 the 'Oboe' equipment had been removed. In 1947 Trimingham was placed in the Northern Signals Area under No 90 Group. Between 1948 and 1949 the site was placed under care and maintenance.[4]

In January 1949 the site was re-activated and in 1950 was renamed No 432 Signals Unit (No 432 SU). In June 1950 RAF Trimingham was selected to be a Centimetric Early Warning Station (CEW). Between this event and 1961 the radar station had various systems installed at the site and operated constantly as part of the UK’s ROTOR early warning systems until February 1964 when the site was mothballed. By 1965 the station had been largely dismantled and all the radar arrays had been removed apart from the Type 54 behind Beacon Hill Cottage but that had been removed by 1972.[5]

In 1981 RAF Trimingham was closed and the site had been sold and the guardhouse converted into a private house.[6]

1980's to date

By the latter part of the 1980s the now Ministry of Defence decided to re-purchase the site.[7] The RAF installed a Marconi Type 91 _Martello_ radar acting as a Ready Platform (along with RAF Hopton and RAF Weybourne) for the UKADGE Series II (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment) Radar System controlled from the R3 underground control centre at RAF Neatishead. The guardhouse was converted into staff accommodation and offices and basic mess facilities. In May 1996 the Marconi Type 91 'Martello' radar at Trimingham was sold to the Turkish Ministry of Defence and it was replaced by what used to be known as No 86 Signals Unit, with a Type 93 (Plessey type ADGE-305, NATO designation TGRI 50011) that had been moved from Hopton when that base was closed.[8] The Type 93 was originally a mobile installation (however it never actually obtained UK Dept of Transport authorisation to be allowed on UK roads under its own power and anytime it had to be moved, civilian low-loader transport specialists had to be contracted in), but at Trimingham it was fixed to a permanent mounting, due to constant cracking issues with the frame and mobile trailer. The Kevlon dome composed of irregular polygons erected around it and became known locally as the Trimingham golf ball.[9]

The Type 93 was replaced by the Type 101 radar, which was itself replaced by the TPS-77 radar which has increased capabilities to detect targets in the vicinity of the now prolific wind farms along the North Sea coast.[10] According to Minister Philip Dunne, the TPS-77 radar at this station has reached Initial operation capability.[11] Today the TPS-77 feeds constant data back to the Control and Reporting Centres (CRC's) at RAF Boulmer in Northumberland and RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire. RAF Neatishead has now been downgraded to a remote radar head which is actually at Trimingham. Neatishead only being retained as the circuits from Trimingham pass through Neatishead.[12]

Controversy

In November 2006, the station became involved in controversy when motorists on the coast road blamed the station for causing car engines and lights to cut out. Speedometer dials swung up to 150 mph as motorists drove past, and a local garage owner who runs the nearest garage at Mundesley, said he had dealt with 30 calls over a couple of months.[13]

In May 1996, the Marconi  Type 91 radar was replaced by what used to be known as No 86 Signals Unite, with a Type 93. The Type 93 was replaced by a Type 101 radar, which was replaced by the TPS-77 radar with increased capabilities.

Black and M
Part 1 Black

josh was an ordinary boy Just like you or me or... so it seemed, on the outside he was just a boy who for some reason , Hated life. In other words he was just a fifteen year old boy who showed no emotion, no feeling, no compassion. He appeared as if he WANTED to be hated in public, wearing clothes no other would DARE to wear at fancy party's he wore jeans a novelty shirt such as a video game character and he always held a cane for NO reason when asked the question "josh what has happened to you" he would reply, "that name serves no purpose to me ... and what did i TELL YOU! i am the same GUY" but he wasn't he had changed... he had not always been like this with jet black hair the dyed red tip scraping his chin. people around him would know, he would only talk sorrow and death after that day... he spoke to M for the very ... last...time M a woman who no one dared mention the full name of in front of black was a fifteen year old girl who had no confidence in herself whatsoever yet black rather... josh, taught her to have some but that is one of his many regrets josh found resolution in M as she was a quite attractive young woman who could no nothing but worry and that... was just what set her over the top. Her wavy pink hair gave her all the power to men in the world and black had power over that he never used it... he wished he did.

Black didnt have many people he concidered friends but he had many people who was TRYING to be his friend  he knew it... but did not want it he was happy with the friends he already had there names all changed when he changed to blackdare... well atleased to him he had his best friends Linkkirby, grayslimer and M--- wait  black thaught to himself why did i "OH NO" he shouted outloud as his mind jumped back in time... this was no "flashback" he could controll himself but... things always had the same outcome that night when M leaned in and said ... it was to painfull to say but ha always, he always said the same thing "no I...I DONT WANT TO HURT YOU" he regains control but the part that really pains me, you , black its hard too tell 1st,2nd or 3rd person who am i the world just pushes us and when we push back the world cries.

GAH black awoke with a freight he told the only erson he could tell
"kirby it happend again DONT CALL ME MAD ITS NOT A DREAM or a flashback"
kirby replied five minutes later
"JOSH its 3AM my name is not kirby pull yourself together your father already said family curse"
"KIRBY i am NOT josh and do NOT mention my father you have NO right"
the skype call ended there with the same words every covosation ends with"you have alot of people who want to help you they were friends with josh ... not blackdare and i am starting to see why"
I did not cry ... she had my tears and she misused themi got up and had asoden thaught that i was afraid of so i forgot about it it would drag me back there but perhaps...this time.

Part 2 Kirby

"OMG josh is soo annoying right now slimer"
"what do you mean NOW kirby he has been like this ever since he said the UNUSABLE PHRASE to m kirby god how long have we known eachother and we dont even know eachothers names"
"oh no daniel i know your name im robbie so TTYL AFK and all that"
I shut my laptop and thaught how good black had it his folks were rich and he acts like he is POOR his mother loves him and his father is "cursed" but he acts like he is homeless
after M left kirby was blacks one outlet in life he used daniel as a way te escape the VR as kirby lived far away but little did he know he was the key to niagras heart he did not know what that ment he just heard black mention it beforeway back then when they broke up
kirbys memory spiraled "dont worry kirby she may have left me but you haha are niagras heart" that one scentence stuck with him... it was the last time black was truly happy

Kirby was a young boy 13 years old had the whole world goin for him brown surf swept hair a clam necklas and the whole 5,0 but the only problem is after blacks big "phrase utter with M" his confidence was knocked too he was a profestional in sword fighting and sometimes took black 1 on 1 but the one thing he would never try was to even talk to M as last time he god a warning but NEXT TIME the sword will do more than toutch his neck

kirby got up and walked to his old secret creek just down the road from niagra falls as kirby and blackdare used to live there thats where they met M but after the break up black moved too canada kirby now being the only one who new the location of the creek had a old picture pinned up he looked for a good thirty seconds at what it used to be... the days of playing zelda with our feet in the water the days of yaunder gone  by but hope all he could it would be a LONG time before that happened again. I looked back at the picture we were all gathered around in a semi circle as we did and i looked happyer i suppose when M died we all died alittle i looked at her she had smooth skin and this one freckal on her left cheek her face was the only one compleatly visible , her hair was a sholder height pink it was wavy and pretty... she always had a look of pain on her face you could put her in ANY type of people and she would stick out... exept from us her face was the only one visible she never wore make-up but her lips were a cherry red i saw her staring up at me from the image... i never told black this but i always liked M alittle but they suited each other. The creek around was  a nice place... A small stream swam throughout the center but the place was well hidden there was sand at one side whenre they would lie down if they were not in the cave and a grassy side with a hill with a medium sized cave about the size of a flat in it . The cave was a beautiful brown place with bean bag chairs computer chairs and tables it it, the cave was just a dirty hole before twe came along ... we transformed... we made it our own but now, it is only mine ,as everyone had moved or... All but two I heard black say im the "key to niagra" M was buried next to niagra falls... Is that what he means

Part 3 way back then

I looked back and i saw Josh he was happy and i liked it because... One of us had to have been all of the girls at school taunted me for my choce of clothing ... I usually go for a mettalic silver-ish feel, being with josh was my only outlet of somewhat happyness. We were just sitting in the sandfeeling it inbetween out toes josh braught robbie and daniel we dicide that day to give eachother nicknames
Josh is to be known as blackdare
Robbie is Linkkirby
Daniel as Grayslimer
And me. With the VERY CREATIVE name M but i diddnt care... I liked it it expressed the amount of CARE i give into everyday society but... i liked calling black josh ... I dont know why? I just liked the name and i liked him but i would still call all the others by the nicknames...
"Black" kirby yelled and i see why it had just appered asif there was two of him for a moment every word that came out his mouth sounded rehersed... like he had done this a MILLION times over
"M im sorry for all im going to do but... when you accept me as blackdare things will... change ... i i love you"
I had no idea what he was talking about so... i slapped him his body morphed for a sec and he was back to normal
"OW whyd you hit me!"
I was'nt sure how to answer so i left it he diddnt seem bothered i let it all fly over my head
