Any idea if is possible to mirror in an small business two Synology NAS units?
I have one Main Rackstation with 500GB of data, on raid1 with hot spare, and have a backup NAS (disk station) with the same data (we manually copy the data every 48 hours).
Can this be done automatically?
Can we mirror not only data but users, permissions and other settings as well?
The idea is if Main NAS fails, we can disconnect from network, update the IP on the 2nd NAS and back on production in a minute.
Synology has what they call a "high availability" feature that allows you to use an active/passive setup. Now, this isn't the same as having servers in cluster or using Starwind but it should do what you are asking it to do. The failover is slow so if you aren't running any VMs off the NAS, this should work for you.
You said all your user data and backup data would be on the NAS. Unless I don't understand, that's a huge red flag. If you had a catastrophic failure of your NAS, you'd lose your user data and your backups. I'd say you need a bit different plan. Your backup data should be on a separate device from your user or application data.
I've used QSAN NAS devices in the past. We had one holding all of our Virtualised Infrastructure and it run 24/7 without any failures.
I don't think you can do syncronous on Synology because what they call HA has to have identical models, but you can replicate volumes using their backup app.
Very few devices can do true synchronous HA and in many cases it's better to do such stuff at the application level.
You can do rsync on the synology but you'll have to take into account not being able to sync files that are open and you can probably only run it a max of once every 15 minutes.
Bad news: You can't do that with Syno as they (like other guys pointed out) can't use different hardware.
1) It's true active-active HA with an instant 0ms failover and not anorexic active-passive stuff with a very slow failover BSODing your VMs.
Good luck and ping me if you'd like to move on within this scenario as like I've told some of your efforts will be needed.
Client don't need iSCSI, Vmware, etc. They just need to mirror the NAS. Do you say with StarWind VSAn Free I can install the app into a Windows Workstation and the app will keep both Synology on sync?
You need some protocol to "talk" to this new virtual entity. If it won't be iSCSI, SMB3 or NFS what's it going to be?
Our service needs Server OS to run so Workstation is out of game (some old versions could do that but I don't even know how many years ago we've dropped desktop OSes).
Also it depends what you mean under "in sync". If you need files on both NAS boxes then no we won't do that, we'll grab the space from NAS boxes for our own needs and provide you with a new namespace which is going to be allocated from your both NAS (something what all of the Software-Defined Storage solutions will do). If you want files staying AS IS then you need some sort of a file-level replication, DFS-R, rsync or whatever.
What I can't get is why their sync can't be routable. Do you have any ideas why exactly?
Sadly I don't. But I do know that for some clients with 2 Synology NAS, this is an effective method for improving availability. The simplicity of this approach is what has been favourable among small clients.
One this to keep in mind if that this does not constitute a backup so I would highly recommend you also have a backup through either rsync, to cloud storage, or to another Synology NAS that is located offsite.
Second copy of your data isn't a backup either.
That's correct, which is why I said it improved availability. Synology has built-in functionality to actually backup via rsync or to cloud storage or another Synology NAS. An actual backup where changed blocks are sent over and previous versions of data is maintained so that a corrupted, infected, or deleted file can be retrieved properly, all within stated data retention guidelines.
You can replicate easily. It's not what we call mirroring, but it meets your objectives.
This is exactly what we need. We will upgrade the 2 NAS with brand new RS815 so we can setup High Availability as explained in your link.
There is no vmware connected to the NAS, just Office data (Pdfs, Docs, Jpgs, etc). and lot of folders.
This request is only for high availability.
Data on NAS (office files) + veeam backup recovery files are saved on HDD every month and stored offsite. This are historic backups.
There is another layer of backups using Carbonite.
Of course. The replication between the 2 NAS unit is to allow the client to access the office files in NAS2 if primary NAS1 fails. They already have RAID1 so a failed HDD is not an issue. The problem is more focused in address a solution in case NAS 1 power supply fails or we have another malfunction in NAS1.
If NAS1 fails, NAS2 will be able to provide users to access to the files.
Regarding Backup the files are backed up using Backup exec (one full on Monday, diffs on remaining weekdays). and an HDD offsite every month with all data from NAS, including veeam backup files.
Another layer of backup is available via Carbonite. This is a continuous backup and already save us during a ransomware issue about a month ago.
If you have Veeam Backup & Replication, you can put the Endpoint backups in a repository, which is still the NAS.
Then the Backup Copy,Job can kick in and make copues5, with additional rules like retention.
Client don't have Veeam Backup and Replication. They have Veeam Endpoint backup for PC/Laptops protection.

It’s not hyperbole to call The Avengers the greatest superhero movie of all time — better than Captain America: The First Avenger, better than The Dark Knight, and better than Spider-Man 2. And the best superhero movie is available on Blu-ray and DVD starting today.
The cardinal sin of most superhero movies is that producers change too much from the page and the screen, and then crowd the story with too many characters (especially villains) that all have to be introduced. So how does Avengers — a movie featuring six heroes, a villain, a host of supporting characters and an entire top-secret international organization — manage to not only avoiding becoming an overstuffed muddle, but pull it all off brilliantly?
Whedon was hired to write and direct The Avengers, and his vision for and realization of the project were so pure and strong that they kept him focused on making the movie every comic book reader has dreamed of: fully realized superheroes doing exactly what we imagine them doing. And these characters are all recognizable from our comic books.
The story begins at a secret base where SHIELD, a global peace-keeping force, is experimenting with the infinitely powerful Tesseract, recovered from the ocean floor after the end of Captain America: The First Avenger. Suddenly, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), the villainous half-brother of Thor, invades and steals the artifact. Loki has teamed up with the alien Chitauri from deep space, and plans to conquer the Earth with his new army and the Tesseract. In response, the head of SHIELD, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), activates the Avengers Initiative, a plan to use Earth’s superpowered heroes as a defense.
The Avengers include Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), a gaggle of strong personalities with clashing ideologies and methods, but who nevertheless have to work together to stave off the end of the world.
First off, Marvel could not possibly have made a better choice for writer/director of a widescreen action movie than Whedon, who knows comic books inside and out, as well as how to make characters with superpowers in extraordinary situations relatable and… fun. Whedon knows what comics fans want to see, and he understands what movie audiences demand from their summer roller-coaster films. The Avengers is one of those 1-in-a-million movies that manages to please fanboys and mainstream audiences at the same time.
Whedon took the toys he was given and took advantage of a great asset: Marvel had already introduced all of the characters, so Whedon wasn’t burdened with telling a bunch of origin stories. Every hero (save Hulk) was introduced doing his or her thing, so Whedon was able to show — instead of having tell — who theses characters are. Some — like Iron Man — were already well-established, while others —like Hawkeye and Black Widow — allowed room for Whedon to stretch his legs and show off his creative chops.
Creative abilities that Whedonites have long known he possesses. This movie has just about everything: drama, action and thrills, as well as sadness and a sense of humor that ranges from witty wordplay to slapstick hilarity that will have you laughing out loud. It also has several scenes of nobility and heroism that will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up.
Because this is Whedon, folks — creator of one of TV’s greatest-ever heroines, Buffy the Vampire Slayer — all of the heroes in this “Scooby Gang” get chances to shine — including the human SHIELD agents, Fury, Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Maria Hill (Colbie Smothers). And just because she’s the only girl, Black Widow is far from marginalized; that fact just makes her more valuable to Whedon. She is right in the thick of things to the very end, making use of her mind and fighting skills to such a degree that she even impresses Cap!
Speaking of which, one of my favorite scenes came late in the movie, as the Avengers realized the scale of the threat they faced, and the Stark-Rogers rivalry melted away as Iron Man deferred command to Captain America with a simple: “Call it, Captain,” letting Cap delegate their forces. In the comics, Cap is the consummate leader and strategist, so naturally Whedon would put aside the rivalries and play up Cap the living legend.
And — because this is Whedon — the audience also can count on another of his trademarks: The shocking death of a beloved character. I give it away, but Whedon knows exactly whom to kill (and precisely when and how) in order to wring out not only maximum pathos, but story.
Which brings us to the film’s greatest strength: its characterization, which makes everything else — all the drama and all the humor — possible. Since we get to feel like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner and the Natasha Romanoff are our friends, we care about whether they get hurt, or if they succeed in saving the planet. We can understand Thor’s frustration with unruly brother Loki stems just as much from sibling rivalry as a desire to spare the Earth from destruction. And how much of Loki’s plan is lust for power, and how much is jealousy that their father, Odin, likes Thor better? Listen to his speeches.
Rogers: Is everything a joke to you?
Banner, in contrast, has a much drier sense of humor, and the cynicism of both Hawkeye and Black Widow clearly came from different places. That comes from truly directing actors, folks.
My favorite performance was Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. His soft, Zen-like delivery of his lines reflected the deliberate choices of a man determined to remain in control of himself. The most famous line from THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV series — “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry” — gets turned on its head by the deadpan revelation from serene, self-controlled Banner that, “I’m always mad.” And yet — after one bad movie and its “meh” sequel — we finally like Hulk. (That may be Whedon’s biggest accomplishment in Marvel’s eyes.) On the next level, I put Downey Jr., Evans and Johansson. The constant back-and-forth between Stark and Rogers really helped advanced the story and team dynamic, as well as tease out backstory without being boring.
And with so much fighting, how could this movie ever be boring? Whedon manages to put a spin on the hokey comic book convention of having heroes fight each other and makes it believable. He sets up the battles fans actually want to see: The Thor vs. Iron Man throw-down is just epic as I imagined it as a kid; and who doesn’t want to see whether Cap’s shield can withstand a direct blow from Thor’s hammer when struck in anger! Wow! And then there’s the alien Chitauri, whom the Avengers can fight with all their might and mangle and kill without remorse, and the giant robot dragons that give Hulk a chance to unleash his full power. But even while depicting universe-shaking clashes, Whedon still features battles for the more down-to-Earth archer Hawkeye and martial artist Black Widow.
Clearly, this was a job for Joss Whedon! And he was just… super.
N.B.: Be sure to watch through the credits, because a special extra scene puts the cherry on top of this movie and sets up the inevitable sequel.

United can confirm that six players will be leaving the Iron this summer following meetings with Iron manager Russ Wilcox on Thursday.
Defender Christian Ribeiro will leave Glanford Park after two seasons with the Iron.
The former Welsh international, who made 57 appearances for United, made his final appearance in last Saturday's 2-2 draw at home to York City.
Also leaving the Iron are the midfield duo of Andy Welsh and Etienne Esajas - both of whom joined the Iron last summer.
Welsh has seen his season plagued by injury and he has not played a game for United since their Johnstones Paint Trophy defeat to Sheffield United back in September.
Esajas, a regular in the side under the management of Brian Laws, was unable to cement his place in the side for much of the second half of the season.
The Dutch winger had been a regular for the Iron during the first couple of months during the promotion winning campaign.
Striker Connor Jennings also leaves the Iron this summer having failing to establish himself in the first team.
The young striker had a very successful loan spell at Macclesfield Town towards the back end of 2013, however, he sustained a terrible injury which prevented him playing for the Iron all season.
In order to regain some fitness Wilcox sent the 22-year-old to local rivals Grimsby Town in March. Despite scoring 16 goals for Macclesfield earlier on in the season, things just didn't work out for Jennings who only managed to find the back of the net once for the Mariners.
The final pairing to leave the Iron this summer are former youth academy graduates George Grayson and Jamie Wootton.
Both players have struggled to force their way into the first team this season with only Wootton making one substitute appearance this season.
Grayson had a number of loan spells away from the club this season while Wootton spent the majority of his time out on loan at Gainsborough Trinity.
The Iron manager will hold further meetings with a number of other players next week to determine their futures.
Everyone at Scunthorpe United would like to thank the players for their hard work and we wish them all the best for the future.

Imagine the impact of 152 luxury apartments at the old ProBuild (Haddonfield) Lumber site at the busy intersection of Brace & Kresson Roads. The Barclay Area Civic Association (BACA), representing quality of life interests for over 1800 Barclay area families for more than 35 years, supports residents who filed a complaint against zoning variances granted to build residences on this property zoned for Highway Commercial use.
A NJ Superior Court judge upheld the Cherry Hill Zoning Board's decision to grant use variances for Buckingham Partners. Resident plaintiffs are appealing that decision because the judge did not fully consider many aspects of land use law applicable to a use variance. New Jersey law strongly discourages use variances that allow prohibited uses (high density residential uses in this case) in a zone specifically designated for a completely different use (commercial business in this case).
The appeal process is proceeding and oral arguments before a two- or three-judge panel of Appellate Division judges are set for March 24, 2015. After the appearance, the judges will issue a written decision, but the wait for a decision can also be several months long. It could be well into the Spring of 2015 before there is a final word on this matter from the Appellate Division.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT – PROTECT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE REST OF CHERRY HILL FROM ACTIONS THAT THREATEN THE INTEGRITY OF CHERRY HILL'S MASTER PLAN AND ZONING LAWS.
On January 4, 2013, the Cherry Hill Township Solicitor, Robert N. Wright, Jr., sent a "Notice of Decision" letter to Lynda Yamamoto, the attorney representing the citizens who appealed to Town Council to reverse the decision of the Zoning Board to grant variances to permit the construction of 152 apartments at the Haddonfield Lumber/ ProBuild site near on Brace and Kresson Road. The letter stated that "The 95 day (appeal) period would expire on January 11, 2013," and "Township Council will not be able to conduct a hearing or render a decision within the statutory time."
The Appellants were deeply disappointed that the Town Council scheduled, then postponed, then failed to reschedule the appeal hearing to give them an opportunity to have the Town Council decide this matter without the necessity of the time and expense of submitting the matter to the New Jersey Superior Court for a decision. After the Town Council rendered its "Notice of Decision" to "affirm" the unjustified variances, the only way left to STOP them was to file a complaint in the Superior Court. The Council's failure to provide the hearing they had previously promised to give the Appellants is another sad example of the Township's flawed land use regulation processes regarding how and under what circumstances variances from zoning laws are granted.
The Appellants need your help to stop this project and to reform Cherry Hill's broken and misled Zoning Board. Please contribute whatever you can afford to help raise the funds that will be needed to carry this fight to the courts since the Township has denied the Appellants their rightful hearing. While the Appellants believe they have very good legal grounds to overturn this variance, they need to raise additional funds to insure excellent legal preparation and representation now before the NJ Appellate Division with oral argument now scheduled for March 24, 2015.
To help with the costs of the Appeal please join your friends and neighbors and send your check for any amount ($25, $50, $100 or more) made out to the “Barclay Area Civic Association” to Phyllis Jones, BACA Treasurer, 1117 York Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034. Please contact Phyllis at 856-428-7575856-428-7575 or by E-Mail: admin@pdjonesassociates.com if you have any questions about BACA membership or dues.
The points below summarize the original Appeal to the Township Council of the Cherry Hill Zoning Board decision to grant two zoning “variances” that would (1) allow 152 residential rental apartment units on the 9-acre Haddonfield Lumber site that is currently zoned only for business uses; and (2) allow building heights of 40 feet where only 35 feet is permitted. By scheduling, then cancelling, and not rescheduling a hearing on this appeal before the end of the statutory review period, the Township Council "affirmed" (i.e. approved) the zoning variances, forcing the residents to file a Complaint with the Superior Court (Docket # L-768-13) asking the New Jersey Superior Court to declare the variances null and void.
2. The reasoning for granting the variances was based on flawed data, faulty logic, and unsupported conclusory assertions. It failed to state legally adequate reasons for even considering a variance: i.e., why the “prohibited” proposed land use (residential apartments) is “peculiarly fitted” to the Haddonfield Lumber site. The stated reason for granting the variance, that the apartments would provide “a transition from more intense commercial uses south of the site to the park north of the site,” does not satisfy the “special reasons” test required to grant variances of this type according to New Jersey law. Because any “public welfare benefits” the project would bring are not peculiarly dependent upon the Haddonfield Lumber site location, no “use” variance should have been granted.
3. The variances violate a basic principle of sound planning and zoning. It “balkanizes” and carves up the same business zoning district (NW of the Brace/ Kresson Roads intersection) that the Planning Board and Township Council had previously sought to “harmonize” when they rezoned a portion of the zone from “Limited Office” (O1) to “Highway Business” (B2) in the Master Plan to make it “consistent with the existing land use and the surrounding lots.” Creating conflicting adjacent and intermingled land uses violates the integrity of the commercial zone and will discourage further investment and redevelopment of the commercial properties because of conflicts with the adjacent high-density multi-family uses granted by the variance.
4. The Zoning Board’s conclusion that the variance would have “no substantial detriment to the public good” is based on the faulty logic that nothing about detriments on the site can be “substantial” because it is only 9 of 13,046 acres of Township land and only 9 of 1,007 acres zoned for business. It ignored the fact that when the Master Plan was adopted only two significant parcels of undeveloped land remained that were zoned for business. The Plan stated “once these sites are developed, virtually all future development in the commercial/ office sector will be redevelopment… [and the] Township will need to pursue creative means to encourage redevelopment as a positive step in the continual metamorphosis of the retail/office landscape.” Both those parcels have now been developed. The variance will therefore cause a substantial detriment to the public good and violate two explicit goals of the Master Plan (economic and employment growth) because it will eliminate a large parcel zoned for business that could have provided new employment opportunities and positive tax revenues through redevelopment. The Zoning Board failed to consider the “opportunity cost” of the variance to the Township School District. It accepted the applicant’s claim that only 21 children will be added to the public schools resulting in an annual school budget “surplus” of only $11,924 from the project. A business use redevelopment of comparable value, on the other hand, would generate an additional $639,903 per year or over $12.8 million over 20 years, over half of which would be allocated to the School District. This “opportunity cost” is a substantial public detriment and should have caused the variance to be denied.
5. The variance was granted because the applicant asserted that the apartment complex would generate less traffic than the permitted business uses. The traffic impact analysis was based on an arbitrary choice of hypothetical future permitted uses with relatively high trip generation rates even as it ignored other permitted uses with lower trip generation rates than residential apartments. This analysis should not have been relied upon to make a finding that the proposed use would generate less traffic than the permitted uses and would therefore provide a public welfare benefit.

In April 1995 – to the weekend exactly 22 years ago – I went to the first event by the young antenna AEGEE-Skopje, a conference about privatisation. It was my first visit to this magnificent country with great people, but not my last one. I came back for a marvellous Travelling Summer University the next year plus the two Agoras organised by the antenna. But the memories of this first event were very special. This is the story.
My trip to Skopje couldn’t have started worse. And I was so enthusiastic about going to the capital of Macedonia, where AEGEE-Skopje was about to organize it’s very first event, the congress with the too long title “Privatization in Central and Eastern Europe with a special view on Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia”.
After the Agora I went to Eindhoven. I knew some members there, because AEGEE-Eindhoven was the twin antenna of AEGEE-Szeged, when the concept of twin antennae did not exist yet. When I told one big bald guy that I wanted to go to Skopje, he enthusiastically said: “Yes, you must go there!” It turned out that he helped the young contact antenna a lot to come into existence and organise its first event, because his former girlfriend was one of the founders.
Three days later, I was on the train from Budapest to Skopje. I studied in Szeged in Southern Hungary at that time and my Hungarian friends told me that visa were not necessary to go to Serbia. Well, not for them, but for me being German, yes. So I waited in the train station of Subotica, slept on the wooden benches, where some Canadians with the same fate were stranded, and took the train back to Budapest the next morning.
There was still time to go to Skopje, because it was only Thursday and the conference programme started only on Friday, 14th of April 1995. However, the train was late and I arrived to the Serbian consulate at Heroes’ Square just five minutes before closing time. All employees of the consulate were coming right out of the building already and did not even bother to look at me when I asked them about a visa. So I took the next train to Szeged and came back the next morning. This time I got the visa, hopped on the afternoon train, changed in Nis in the middle of the night and arrived to the Serbian-Macedonian border at 5 a.m. The train was actually supposed to go to Skopje, but it didn’t. All passengers went to a bus station where a Serbian guy, who spoke German, told me which bus to take, where to change to another bus and how much to pay.
The bus drivers were driving their buses like Formula 1 cars over the curvy roads, but I didn’t mind, because at 10 a.m. I reached Skopje. The time, when the conference programme of the second day was about to start. At the bus station I called one of the organisers from a public phone – at that time no one had mobile phones. He picked me up and took me to the Faculty of Law, where the event took place.
Finally I could enjoy the conference.
The topic of the event was quite fashionable at that time. In most countries in Central and Eastern Europe the privatisation of state-owned enterprises was in full swing. There were different models. While most governments sold the companies to foreign investors, who had the financial resources and knowledge to make the old companies more successful and get their products successfully on the market, other countries sold the companies to their citizens with the help of vouchers. In some countries the governments sold the companies to friends or themselves.
The conference organisers got some very prominent speakers, which was no surprise, since one of the members was the daughter of the finance minister. Among the speakers were (surprise!) the minister of finance, Jane Miljovski, and the director of the Agency for Transformation of the Enterprises, Verica Hadzi-Vasileva Markovska. During the afternoon of day two there was a panel discussion on “The privatization process and the flow of people, ideas and capital”. When I arrived, I had no clue that I would be among the panelists! After I entered the room, one of the organisers came to me and said: “You are from Germany, right? So you know about the privatisation in Eastern Germany, right?” “Ehm, well, yes, something, why?” “Two of our panellists cancelled and we need a replacement so that we have at least three people. Just tell me what you know and I’ll ask you questions about that.” And so, I became speaker at the event. It was going fine, but I was so glad when the panel was over… The whole congress was followed by national TV every day, and there were reports of the results in all major newspapers – which showed again what great contacts the organisers had.
This second day was also the end of the serious programme of the event and the whole group left next morning for Ohrid, the magnificient old town at Lake Ohrid in the west of the country. The group of about 25 foreign plus 20 local participants plus more local organisers went to this great city of literature, culture and history together by bus. After checking in at our hotel, we visited all kind of great cultural places, of which the famous monastery was the most impressive one by far. Just one year before the conference, the Oscar-nominated anti-war film “Before the rain” was shot there, which we watched together with the whole group on video. Later on, we also visited the already privatized brewery of Skopje, where we had the opportunity to see how the privatization worked in practice.
It was the beautiful place and even more the amazing and friendly spirit of the organisers from AEGEE-Skopje that caught our hearts. So it was no surprise that nearly all participants spontaneously decided to stay one day longer. No one was in a hurry anyway. Eight of the participants came from Turkey, another eight from Bulgaria; they were extremely relaxed about their timetable, and we, the others, were mainly from Slovakia, Germany and France and wanted to find out as much as possible about this great place in the company of the great organisers. For us time didn’t matter anyway, since it was Easter that weekend. Among the Turkish participants was Refet Saban, one of the founders of AEGEE-Ankara and later CD member. An amazing person like everyone from the Turkish group. It was a shock for us to hear that one Turkish girl died a few months later in a car accident, with also other member from AEGEE-Ankara being in the same car.
He also gave us a great sightseeing tour, where he told us a lot about local politics and culture. I remember clearly when we went to some viewing point over the city and he pointed at the minarets of the ethnic Albanians in Skopje. “You see the minarets? Their number doubled in the past ten years”, he said. “Now Albanians are 40 percent of our population.” He looked very concerned of becoming a minority in his country. He was also concerned for the unstable political situation and the hostile relationships with their neighbours Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro) and Greece. And of course the relationship with Albania was also very bad. So it was no surprise that UN peacekeeping troops were stationed in Macedonia, which helped stabilising the situation.

A movie about romance and ... abortion?
"Obvious Child" is a 2014 romantic comedy in which stand-up comedian Donna Stern (played by Jenny Slate) decides to have an abortion after a one-night stand with Max (Jake Lacy). Producer Elisabeth Holm says it's more about a 20-something woman figuring out her professional and personal life than about an abortion. Here are some examples of TV shows and films over the years in which a character has an abortion.
"Maude" (starring Bea Arthur) devoted two episodes to the grandmother's unexpected pregnancy -- and her decision to have a legal abortion in New York. The episodes aired on November 1972 to enormous protest, just a year before the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
The 1987 summer romance "Dirty Dancing" was set in 1963, and while Frances "Baby" Houseman (played Jennifer Grey) was one of the leading roles alongside Johnny Castle (the late Patrick Swayze), there was another baby involved. While at a resort with her family, Baby helps pay for an illegal abortion for dancer Penny (Cynthia Rhodes), which ultimately leaves Penny debilitated. It forces Baby to step in as Johnny's new dance partner for an upcoming competition.
When high schooler Becky Sproles (played by Madison Burge) becomes pregnant after a chance encounter with football player Luke Cafferty, Becky seeks guidance from Dillon High School guidance counselor-turned-principal Tami Taylor (played by Connie Britton). After careful consideration, Becky decides to have an abortion, with her mom by her side.
In the 2008 drama "Revolutionary Road," Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet play Frank and April Wheeler, a couple in the 1940s who become sick of their suburban lifestyle and set their eyes on Paris. After April gets pregnant and Frank is offered a promotion, the two put those plans on hold. April, still unhappy, ultimately decides to perform her own abortion, and dies after the botched procedure.
After an earlier miscarriage, Cristina Yang (played by Sandra Oh) in the hit series "Grey's Anatomy" decides to have an abortion in order to keep up her workaholic tendencies. The show's creator and show runner Shonda Rhimes later told New York Magazine that she had wanted to include the plot line in the first season, but had "some very strong conversations with Broadcast Standard and Practices back then about the topic."
In "The Cider House Rules," a 1999 screen adaptation of John Irving's 1985 book of the same name, Homer Wells (played by Tobey Maguire) stars as a young orphan who becomes an apprentice abortionist, despite disapproving of the procedure. Charlize Theron stars as Candy Kendall, a young woman who comes with her boyfriend to the orphanage to seek an abortion, while Erykah Badu plays Rose Rose, a woman seeking an abortion after she's raped by her father.
On the NBC drama "Parenthood," shy teen Drew (played by Miles Heizer) finds out girlfriend Amy (Skyler Day) is pregnant and supports her through her decision to have an abortion, even though he had told his sister that part of him wanted to stick out the pregnancy. At the end of the episode, Drew is seen crying in his mother's arms.
Things got very real for viewers of the second season of MTV's "The Real World: Los Angeles" in 1993, when cast member Tami Roman had an abortion in one episode.
On the HBO series "Six Feet Under," teen Claire Fisher (played by Lauren Ambrose) faced an unwanted pregnancy and decided to have an abortion in order to continue art school. She later had a dream about her fetus in heaven.
In the Canadian high school series "Degrassi: The Next Generation," Manny Santos (played by Cassie Steele) has an abortion in the episode called "Accidents Will Happen." Craig, the student who impregnated her, wanted to keep the baby and start a family. The pair ultimately calls it quits because of the abortion. In the episode, Manny's mother supports her decision and drives her to the abortion clinic. The episode was the subject of controversy in the United States after the network it was on, The N, censored it.
Editor's note: The following article contains minor spoilers about the plot of "Obvious Child."
(CNN) -- "Obvious Child" has all the story arcs for romantic-comedy gold, including a newly brokenhearted protagonist trying to find her way in life and love, an unlikely meet-cute of opposite personalities and an advisory panel of cheeky best friends. But one of the film's major through lines is a topic not often broached in theaters: abortion.
The film, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and will open nationwide on Friday, has been called "the most winning abortion-themed rom-com ever" by The Dissolve, and in a piece called "No more Shmashmortion" on Slate.com, writer Amanda Hess deemed it "the most honest abortion movie I've ever seen."
Though the movie successfully mines the traditional rom-com tropes for laughs, groans and "awwwws," abortion is emerging as its unlikely claim to fame.
"We don't feel like that description does it justice," producer Elisabeth Holm told CNN.
Elisabeth Holm is the producer of "Obvious Child."
"It's as much about a stand-up comedian and her life in New York. (An abortion) happens, but it doesn't have to define her."
When Holm spoke with CNN, she acknowledged the filmmakers were "trying to humanize the experience," even including a scene during the main character's abortion procedure. But they "never set out to make an agenda-driven film," Holm said.
Gillian Robespierre wrote and directed "Obvious Child"; actress Jenny Slate stars as Donna Stern, the bathroom-humor-prone comedian who chooses to undergo an in-clinic procedure after a booze-fueled, one-night stand with Vermont-bred prepster Max, played by Jake Lacy.
Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy in "Obvious Child"
Abortion has long been a hot topic in pop culture, from "Maude" in 1972 to HBO's "Girls" in recent years. The release of "Obvious Child" comes shortly after a woman faced criticism for filming and releasing footage of her own abortion in order to show that it wasn't the traumatic experience for her that many assume it to be. In 2010, the CDC reported 765,651 legal induced abortions, with women in their 20s -- like Slate's character -- contributing to the majority of that number.
The debate in movies, TV and viral clips is a reflection of real life: According to a recent CNN/ORC International survey of Americans, 27% of respondents said abortion should be legal in all circumstances, 13% said it should be legal in most circumstances, 38% said it should be legal in a few circumstances, and 20% said it should always be illegal.
Holm says as a born-and-raised New Yorker, both she and director Robespierre came from a world where conversations about abortion happened "in a shame-free, regret-free, clear way" with mothers, friends and sisters -- and that was the experience that they wanted to show on-screen. In "Obvious Child," several characters along the way reveal they had abortions (some legal, some not) in their teens and 20s.
As with any romantic comedy, the two leads, Max and Donna, maintain a "will they/won't they" vibe throughout most of the film -- and that's intentional, Holm says. But Donna's decision to terminate her pregnancy isn't wishy-washy, or even driving the plot. It's the result of a drunken one-night stand that ends without exchanging phone numbers. She's lost her job, and is trying to get a comedy career on track -- from Donna's perspective, the choice is clear.
Does Sundance buzz translate to dollars?
"It's very decisive," Holm says.
In a scene filmed in an actual Planned Parenthood, Donna says, "I'd like an abortion, please," then apologizes about sounding like a fast-food customer before repeating her request.
Holm says it was crucial to illustrate the actual abortion process: A camera focuses on Donna's face as the sedative kicks in and vacuuming sounds hum in the background.
"I think we've seen a lot of movies where they fade off into the sunset before that action happens," she says. "It was critical to show this moment where it's safe and healthy and also vulnerable."
"This is an experience that many women go through without shame and regret, but not without emotion. Hopefully it's something that people can connect to and have a conversation about. Whatever side you're on."
Framing the ever-contentious issue in a romantic comedy has captivated audiences.
"It shouldn't be a particularly earth-shaking turn, but in a world of rom-coms like 'Knocked Up' and 'Juno,' in which the heroines make the heartwarming decision to go ahead with their pregnancies, this modest little indie movie feels momentous," NPR film critic David Edelstein said of the film.
Meanwhile, a piece at the Daily Caller asked, "Has Hollywood hit a new low?" Its gist: "The film seems to be another Hollywood attempt to reinforce their idea of female empowerment. In this case, it includes one night stands and abortions."

Robespierre told nonprofit news organization Mother Jones: "Whatever other conversation occurs, we're really excited. ... (Conservatives bashing "Obvious Child") haven't seen the movie; they're basing it on articles and trailers."
Still, just as with any summer romantic comedy, the filmmakers hope the takeaway for viewers is sweet, sincere and relatable.
"Hopefully, the movie is one that makes people feel confident in who they are and the choices that they make," Holm says. "And sometimes with confidence comes vulnerability -- and that's a very human experience."

Because liability can be difficult to pinpoint, it is important to have an experienced auto defect attorney evaluate your case.

Forget about effectiveness for a second. This album is interesting. I mean that in the most mysterious sense, because the marketing ploy of “I See Your Motive” leaves me clueless. Reese Simmons is an author not a rap artist, and the back of this album’s cardboard casing mentions his “controversial book, Spermatozoa.” I cannot find anything about the book except little blurbs speaking on its unorthodox nature, but I gotta say the title of the book is interesting. At the very least, a creative mind seems to be at work.
The sub-title of this album, his first foray into the medium, is “Psychological Investigations Via Hip Hop.” That’s a tall agenda for someone to carry, especially on a rap album, and it seems like more of a collection of buzzwords than anything else. Reese is not above trying to convince his audience that he is the best. In fact, he doesn’t really carry through on this “psychological” aspect at all. His importance is not in the message, but the presentation. This is a rare kind of hip-hop, laid-back where others are too eager. He is out to prove himself, just like everyone else, but he doesn’t feel the rush to do so.
Simmons’ lyrical approach can be summed up with one listen to a specific song, “The Complex.” He evokes several prodding images using the word “complex” in the hook, all pertaining to race. I initially thought he was on to something, and the problems he suggests are weighty. Still, he spends much of the actual song talking the way rappers do, calling out peers that he deems unworthy, albeit in a drawl that he paces more like mood music than rap. There are hints of the higher thought he advertises in the sub-title, but these hints go unfulfilled, photos of his mind instead of movies. The closest he comes to a psychological investigation is “The Tendency,” but even here, he asks vague questions like “who said the black man can’t read?” without investigating further.
The reins of this project belong strictly in Simmons’ hands, and this makes for a unified record on both the production and lyrics front. In dealing with the music, though, Simmons proves way out of his league. All of the production is initially intriguing, with drums traced by soft, relaxed jazz. Most of the songs sound very similar, however, and he never strays from the lethargic smoothness that spreads across “I See Your Motive.” The tempo hardly varies at all, ranging from slow to not-quite-as-slow. This fits perfectly within his rhyme style, which is mirrored flawlessly by the musical pace. The best beat is “Pugilist,” the first song, and this is only because it contains a hint of something bouncier right beneath the surface. Here he doesn’t abandon his intentional vocal hesitancy, but the slightest hitch in the production increases its replay value in light of the rest of the record.
Lyrically, Reese Simmons sometimes borders on spoken word. He paces himself like a senior citizen, and consistently drags out the last syllable of each line for emphasis. The problem with this technique is that it stresses the already languid pace even more. Listening to this album is trying, simply because it moves so slowly and the music is not compelling enough to merit full attention. Simmons’ voice takes center stage, and it is attractively unique. He rhymes slower than Smooth B, and in small doses this is effective. But he’s not saying much of anything that I haven’t heard, so the sedated delivery hinders forward motion. He claims that he is “definition of a new aesthetic,” but this aesthetic is rooted completely in the speed of the music. I can imagine that he would sound better as a more hurried rapper, because more words per minute means less time to pick apart the faults. When he’s inching along, talking about “crab emcees” that stand in his way, I just want him to talk faster.
The most effective moments on this album come when Simmons adopts a sing-song voice. The only difference between this and his rapping is that he actually creates a melody, because his verses are drawn out in the same way a singer might. Regardless, Simmons may be a provocative author, but this does not translate to music. “I See Your Motive” is just too slow, and his thoughts are surprisingly standard and uninspired. Something had to carry the weight, and since the production and the lyrics are rather ordinary, a sense of stagnancy hangs over the entire project.

Preventing and controlling financial risks remain a common issue for the world. While the global economy witnessed a recovery across the board in 2017, the financial risks are still lingering on and cannot be neglected. As the impact of the financial crisis becomes gradually weakened and the global economy gains momentum for a rebound, the statistics released by the World Economy Forum show that the importance of financial risks in global risks perception began to decline. Be that as it may, we cannot ignore the potential financial and other risks behind the recovery boom.
The fragile factors relating to global recovery are as follows. First, the economic and social structure undergoes a slow adjustment and the mid-to-long-term growth drivers are still insufficient. Second, macro-leverage rate has climbed notably and the financial fragility has increased. Third, asset valuations are held at a high level with the potential danger of rapid falling. Fourth, the rise of trade and investment protectionism has cast a shadow over the prospects of world economic recovery and the stability of global financial markets.
Measures to avert risks are raised as follows. China has always attached great importance to preventing and controlling financial risks and is committed to making its own contribution to global financial stability. In recent years, the Chinese government has taken various measures to strengthen the prevention and control of financial risks, focusing on improving the policy system, enhancing organizational security and strengthening law enforcement. First, China has improved the policy system to prevent and mitigate financial risks. Second, China has promoted the organizational guarantee to avoid and resolve financial risks. Third, China has raised the risk awareness and strengthened the law enforcement of financial supervision. Fourth, China has achieved positive results in preventing financial risks by taking comprehensive measures.
We need to embrace the spirit of solidarity and strengthen cooperation in difficult times. Today, with the deepening development of economic globalization, the trend of financial risks spreading across the border has become increasingly prominent. No country can stand alone in the face of risks. Currently, work could be done from the following three aspects. First, various countries need to strengthen their capacity of preventing and controlling financial risks. Second, global macro-economic policy coordination should be strengthened. Third, global financial stability mechanism should be consolidated so as to press ahead the improvement of international financial governance system.

CoverBlend conceals age spots and dark circles under my eyes very well. With the wide range of skin tones, I have found exactly the right one to blend with my skin. With my makeup, I appear to be much younger than I am. Only the dispenser is not five stars. It dispenses controlled amounts very well. However, when it no longer dispensed, I cut the tube open and found a large amount of the product remaining inside. I scraped it into an eye treatment container and it filled to the top. There are many weeks of makeup which might have been tossed out.
I've been using this for years and started buying it from LovelySkin because of the great price and rewards. It's the brand my dermatologist recommends.
I absolutely love this foundation! The lightest shade is perfect for my Scandinavian skin!
I was really surprised at how heavy and difficult to blend this Exuviance Cover Blend Make-up is given the number of good reviews I had read. I realize it is a concealing make-up, so I expected it to be thicker and heavier than standard foundation. However, it was like spreading plaster on my face. Even after trying to mix it with some moisturizer to thin it out some, I could not get it to blend well enough that I could even leave the house in it! I was forced to wash my face and start over. I suppose you could use this for a very small spot cover and blend it in--but using it for foundation or even for dark circles under the eyes is out of the question for me. I'm experienced in using make-up and have tried many types and brands, but I could never use or recommend this one.
Complimentary pigmented concealer works great!
When I need a pigmented concealer this is a must have! Perfect for those temporary blemishes or discoloration from moustache tweezing!
This is the best concealer I have ever used. It not only works effectively, but it is also healthy for your skin. Not cakey at all. You do need to moisturize your skin before using, as it can be a little drying. Im very pleased with this purchase.
Excellent coverage that lasts all day. A small dab is all it takes.
I think this is a great product I have not been able to find any other product that helps conceal alot of my imperfections on my skin.
I really like this product. It covers well and stays on all day which is hard to find. It makes you complexion look smooth and flawless. You don't need to use very much. I buy a lighter shade and darker so I can blend to my skintone and the time of year when my skintone changes from being outside varies.

Community Legal Aid has several key priorities that we strive to achieve in all we do. These areas of need serve as beacons for our work with clients, in the community, and through advocacy.
Central to our work is providing support for low-income individuals and families, as well as for special, vulnerable populations, including the elderly, those with language, cultural, or educational barriers, those with disabilities, and veterans.
We prioritize cases that support access to affordable and safe housing, both public and private.
Families and individuals must be economically viable in order to survive. To this end, we work toward prevention of unemployment, resolution to issues with the IRS, protection from predatory lending and unfair sales practices, and income stability for those disabled or otherwise unable to obtain employment.
We prioritize cases that support safety from domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault. Additionally, we work to preserve health for individuals and communities through individual representation and policy advocacy.
Community Legal Aid places a high priority on activities designed to involve the entire community in ensuring access to justice. We place special attention on pro bono services of the private bar, education of organizations serving low-income clients, advocacy at regional and national levels on our priorities, and responding to the needs of the local communities we serve.

The son of murdered Doddington gang leader Ray Pitt has been jailed for a 90mph police chase after becoming overcome by grief on the 20th anniversary of his dad’s death.
Rudie Pitt, 21, sped through five sets of red lights in a Honda Civic after visiting the scene of his father’s killing in Moss Side .
Manchester Crown Court heard Pitt’s mother and grandmother had worked hard to keep him away from the lifestyle which not only claimed the life of his dad at the age 20, but led to his uncle, notorious mobster Tommy Pitt, being jailed for life for murder.
But despite his barrister’s pleas that a jail sentence would expose a ‘good young man’ to the career criminals he had so far been shielded from, Recorder Paul Reid QC locked Rudie Pitt up for eight months.
Pitt’s driving attracted police attention at Kingsway, Levenshulme at 11.15pm on April 21. Pitt, who works for a mechanic specialising in banger racing, had no insurance and no licence, so attempted to outrun the patrol car.
For over seven minutes he drove at high speeds through Longsight and Levenshulme, before abandoning the car with his girlfriend in it. By the time the chase ended, he had narrowly avoided crashing into a motorbike and a taxi, driven repeatedly on the wrong side of the road at high speed, mounted the pavement and forced officers to abandon the chase at Princess Road, Moss Side, because it was too dangerous. A police helicopter had to pick up the pursuit, tracking the car to Bexhill Drive, Longsight. There they found his girlfriend in the passenger seat and a bag containing Pitt’s provisional driving licence.
Pitt, of Abbey Hey, Gorton , later admitted dangerous driving, driving without insurance and driving without a licence. Prosecutor Michael Morley described the chase as a ‘prolonged, persistent and deliberate course of bad driving’ that had put customers of Longsight’s kebab shops at risk as he sped through the area.
Arrested at Moseley Road, Fallowfield , Pitt told officers he was sorry for what he had done and sorry for leaving his girlfriend in the car.
Rachel White, defending, said Pitt was a ‘pleasant and amenable’ young man who was a committed father and ‘role model’ to his younger siblings.
“Police took him all the way from Cheadle Heath station and dropped him home in Gorton. The defendant’s assumption was that police had preconceived ideas about the type of person they were going to deal with because of his family name, and were surprised how cooperative he was”, she added.
Describing the offences, she said: “It was the anniversary of the defendant’s father’s fatal shooting and so he had gone (to the West Indian Centre) to reminisce about his father.
“He was advised against this by some family members. (There) he was approached and asked for his reason for being in the car park, and his identity being revealed, he became intimidated and made off from the scene.

Loved the recipe, sets up quick, creamy and zesty. In place of orange extract, used (same amt.) orange zest from an orange in the fridge. Plus, making it more healthy by making it 2/3 2% milk and 1/3 half n half in place of the heavy cream.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) made a surprising announcement on Tuesday that it would start including Tweets in its public disaster alerts on Google Now. This marks a major turnaround for Google, as they have not been including Tweets ever since the two companies failed to agree on the use of Twitter’s ‘firehose’ data, back in 2011. At the time, the collapse of the deal was made very public, and Google then shut down its Realtime Search.
The reason for the inclusion of Tweets in the public alerts is to provide people with more context as to what the exact situation is, in their area. Google was quick to point out that the Tweets are sourced via Twitters public API, rather than the ‘firehose’, or real time data stream. Google also stated that for now, Tweets will only be used for this purpose, and that there are no plans to re-introduce Twitter driven real time searches, or any other use of Tweets.
The announcement certainly does pose some interesting questions. To many, this marks a possible partial reconciliation between the two social media giants, as Google is starting to use Tweets as a part of one of its products again. It also begs the question as to why there are no Facebook results in any of Google’s public alerts.
Google has stated that it is still looking at various other social products it could use, in order to make the public alerts more effective. It is also a somewhat public admission, that there is not very much real time conversation taking place on Google, with it having to rely on another source, in order to provide enough local context.

Raised as a Territorial unit in the summer of 1938, the 15th (Isle of Man) Light Anti Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery consisted of a Regimental Headquarters and two Batteries, the 41st and 42nd, at the beginning of the War. It was armed partly with Vickers, partly with Lewis guns and partly with Bofors. Some months later, and for the rest of the War, it was armed with Bofors.
On 24th August, 1939, the Regiment was mobilised and sailed to Liverpool to take up the anti aircraft defence of the Mersey from Gladstone dock to Princes landing stage. Four days later, 129 Battery was raised on the Isle of Man to complete the Regiment’s establishment of three Batteries. Shortly after the outbreak of war on 3rd September, 1939, a Company of A.T.S. was also raised on the Island and was affiliated to the Regiment for service in Great Britain, joining them for duty at the end of that month.
In October, 1939 the Regiment was dispersed for operational duties in the Midlands and south-west of England. The Batteries and their Troops first served in the Cotswolds area protecting airfields, and later in places as wide apart as Portsmouth, Southampton, the Isle of Wright, Dorset and Plymouth during the Battle of Britain.
On 19th November, 1940, the Regiment embarked for the Middle East, disembarking in Egypt. There, to meet the great demand for light anti aircraft artillery, the Batteries parted company. 41 Battery sailed for the East African theatre of war and fought with the famous 4th and 5th Indian Divisions in the Sudan, Eritrea and Abyssinia and witnessed the surrender of the Italian forces. 129 Battery sailed for Crete, where in May 1941, all except one officer and thirty others were taken prisoner. 129 was the last defensive Battery in action in Crete before it was overrun by the German forces. In the meantime, Regiment H.Q. and 42 Battery remained in Egypt and were responsible for the anti aircraft defence of the Suez Canal from Port Said to Suez, in which task they were joined by 41 Battery on its return from East Africa.
Early in 1942, 1st Battery, the Senior Regular A.A. Battery of the British Army, with experience in France prior to Dunkirk and the first desert push under General Wavell, joined the Regiment to replace the 129 Battery. The Regiment then moved into the Libyan desert and did forward work with desert columns. Then back to Alamein in the setback of June 1942. In July, 1942, the Regiment joined the famous 7th Armoured Division (the Desert Rats) and remained with the Division until the end of the War.
From 23rd of October, 1942 (Alamein Day), the Regiment moved forward (not without fighting, and not without casualties) from Alamein through Libya, Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and finally Tunisia to witness the final surrender of all the enemy forces in North Africa. Then across to Italy, landing at Salerno, then on to Naples, the crossing of the Volturno and on to the Garigliano river.
In January, 1944, the Regiment returned to England and for five months refitted and trained for the Normandy Invasion on 6th June, 1944. Landing on the beach by Ouvranches, the Regiment were involved in many famous battles on the journey through France, Belgium, Holland and finally to Hamburg and the final surrender of the German armies, and the end of the War in Europe.
During all their campaigns, men of the Regiment had shot down planes, and shot up tanks and infantry, acting not only as anti aircraft gunners, but also in the role of anti-tank gunners and light artillery as well.
With over 300 planes actually shot down, and with its lengthy record of active service overseas against the enemy, the Regiment is unrivalled by any other light anti aircraft Regiment in the British Army, and can claim to have lived up to the gunners' two proud challenges "Ubique" and "Quo fas et gloria ducunt".

Brand Kristopher Enuke is addressing a creative expressive need that has not been around the denim-smiths category for awhile.
Christopher Enuke, the Los Angeles designer trained at Otis Parsons school of design has a three-dimensional approach to designing denim. He has creative directed at Adriano Goldschmeidt, Bebe, BCBG, and built the directional denim company Oligo Tissew. He sees form and function as a cohesive statement in every garment, understanding denim cloth and the manipulation of denim in wash. Unfolding the genius of this cloth gives this designer artistic license.
