 update in January.
Have safe and happy holiday season!
As you all know we have been on a Journey to deliver and support IPv6 functionality for our customers for quite some time. We are extremely excited to announce the Introduction of IPv6 (Dual Stack) support on the MX Security and SD-WAN platforms!
With this introduction there are a variety of supported functionality such as WAN, LAN, Routing, AutoVPN, Firewalls and Monitoring and Reporting. Please have a look at the official announcement here and review the IPv6 Support on MX Security & SD-WAN Platforms KB article for more information on all the functionality being added.
This is the starting result of a lot of work by many different teams and we are extremely grateful for all of your support and patience throughout this Journey. As such we want to send a special thank you to all (Cisco Meraki Internal teams, Beta testers and customers) that have helped us accomplish this fantastic milestone and please know that we could not have done this without you.
Our next community update is expected to be in April. In the meantime, continue to stay safe and healthy!Why have Warner Bros. and Clint Eastwood decided not to screen J.Edgar at both the Toronto and the New York Film Festivals? The first thought, of course, is a slight “uh-oh…” but that kind of dissolves once you think it through. This won’t be the first time an Eastwood fllick hasn’t made the festival rounds so it’s not that big a deal. Clint has never been a big festival guy.
The fact that Toronto critics beat up Hereafter pretty badly is a possible factor, okay, but they might simply have decided it’s better for the buzz to start a bit closer to the 11.9 release date. There’s nothing inherently wrong with waiting for the right moment.
My problem with this film all along has been the physical disparity factor, or the six-foot-tall Leonardo DiCaprio playing the short, squat and bulldog-ish J. Edgar Hoover. The above photo makes Leo seem shorter than he actually is, and I’m wondering if somehow he’s been made to look smaller through the use of large furniture and tall costars (like the 6′ 5″ Armie Hammer) and extra-tall doorways and all that. This was how Marion Cotillard was made to look Edith Piaf-sized in La Vie en Rose, so maybe.
Knowing Clint as I do, the Gay Edgar Hoover angle will be “there,” but in a vaguely suppressed, played-down way, which of course would be appropriate for the rigidly homophobic era during which the saga of J. Edgar and Clyde took place.
Master Ng Yim Ming (Harry Ng), who was teaching Lama Kung Fu to the mainland China Airforce, came to the U.S. to visit his wife and children in San Francisco and decided to stay. It was from Master Ng that David Chin learned the art of Tibetan Hop Gar.
Hop Gar is primarily composed of 12 short hands (six offensive and six defensive) 12 long hands (six offensive and six defensive) and eight sets of forms. Kicks are used but are considered second line techniques, the hands being the first.

Restricted Substances List
Introduction
BIC Graphic (“BG”) is committed to operating its business in a safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The protection of our consumers, workers and the environment are paramount. Our sustainable development plan incorporates, among other things, the following principals: (1) Product Safety and Regulatory Compliance, (2) Quality Assurance, (3) Social Responsibility, (4) Supply Chain Security, and (5) Environmental Stewardship. This Restricted Substances List (“RSL”) is a key element to BG’s continuing efforts to further these ideals. BG acknowledges that our Suppliers are vital partners in this endeavor. As a consequence, these policies and procedures apply to all companies that manufacture and/or sell finished products (the “Products”) to BG (collectively, “Suppliers”).
The objectives of this RSL are to:
(a) Ensure that chemicals used in the manufacture of the Products comply with the chemical content and chemical exposure laws of every governmental jurisdiction in which the Products are manufactured and sold; and
(b) Ensure that the Products do not expose consumers and others handling them to levels of chemicals which would adversely affect their health or safety.
Suppliers must ensure that the chemicals used in the manufacture of the Products are used in a manner consistent with the requirements of the chemical supplier and other applicable chemical use requirements.
This RSL is an important part of BG’s product stewardship and environmental sustainability programs, and Suppliers must share this RSL with all companies that supply materials, parts and chemicals that are used to produce the Products. Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that all of the companies that they purchase materials, parts and chemicals from for use in manufacturing the Products are in compliance with the bans, restrictions and requirements described or referred to in this RSL.
We require our Suppliers to study this document carefully, implement management processes in their operations to comply with these requirements and communicate the information to their internal teams. This RSL supersedes all prior versions of the BG RSL. As a Supplier of Products to BG, you are required to understand the RSL product standards and deliver only compliant products to BG. You are also responsible for seeking guidance from BG in any situation where you may have doubts or uncertainties about your Product’s compliance with BG’s RSL Product standards.
Each Supplier, by manufacturing or selling a Product to BG, represents and warrants that each of the Products complies in all material respects with this RSL and all applicable laws. Each Supplier does hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold BG harmless from any claim, loss, damage, expense and other harm that results from such Supplier’s non-compliance with this RSL or any applicable laws.Newcastle United fans, this will not come as a surprise.
The media really hate us.
Not all of the media of course, that would be a ridiculous thing to claim…just ninety nine per cent or so of them.
I am mainly talking about the wider media here, those who are almost entirely based outside Tyneside.
Generally I am not meaning the relative handful who rely entirely / mostly on Newcastle United fans and the club directly for their livelihood. After all, that would be really daft if they hated the hand(s) that feeds them.
So why is it that the media hates Newcastle United fans?
I can sum it up in one word. Enthusiasm.
Honestly, they really really hate our enthusiasm.
They hate the fact that as Newcastle United fans we don’t play to their rules.
We don’t know our place.
The slightest hint of positivity, of hope…Newcastle United fans go absolutely mental.
It absolutely isn’t that we suddenly expect success is guaranteed, or somehow we are entitled to it. After all, that would be really really crazy if that was the case, seen as the overwhelming majority of us have never seen NUFC win a trophy.
The years when Newcastle United fans saw their team be truly successful are ingrained, now 95 years since the last league title (1927), 67 years since the last domestic trophy (1955 FA Cup), then 53 years since the last trophy of any kind (1969 European Fairs Cup).
It is simply hope and when that rears its head, then we run with it as Newcastle United fans, dream of what just maybe it could lead to. We enjoy the moment, we enjoy even more the pre and post-matches in our brilliant city, whilst also wondering if just maybe we could be finally back on the road to better things, to be being competitive again.
So many other fanbases know their place and that is the way the media like it / them, Newcastle United fans most definitely don’t know their place, at least not the place that the media want us to accept.
They hate it when even though still fighting relegation, Newcastle United fans are still up for a laugh, defiant.
The media ever ready to pounce, to ridicule, because we don’t know our place.
Newcastle United win a few matches, looking like we could more than likely escape the clutches of relegation and the fans are singing ‘…and when we win the Premier League we’ll sing this song all night’ (Bruno magic hat song). No, we aren’t allowed to have a laugh apparently, I saw some of the usual suspects (journalists) ridiculing Newcastle fans because now they (we) are thinking they’re going to win the Premier League.
No, we don’t think we are going to win the title, we are simply having a laugh, we’re happy having won a few games, we’re happy that we no longer have to endure Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce, that we now have a club which at the very least won’t be run as a free massive advertising billboard for the owner, that we have a talented decent head coach who doesn’t embarrass us.
For Newcastle United fans dealing with the media, it is like having an argument with your partner, where everything you say and do is twisted / distorted into a negative.
Well, sorry to disappoint you, the (London-centric) media, we are happy and optimistic and buoyantly dreaming again, that just maybe we could one day win something and really be celebrating a team of black and white clad heroes all wearing magic hats.# Default messages
