 in order to escape from the disinflation zone. The obvious way to do so is by tolerating relaxed fiscal and monetary policies. Berlin opposes such policy options. It seems however that the German government can accept some kind of compromise between fiscal-monetary orthodoxy and relaxation.
Wolfgang Schäuble, the Federal Minister of Finance, has already announced an extra investment plan to support his country’s infrastructures. Nevertheless, the German minister was very careful with money and cited a rather disappointing €10 billion extra spending of public money over the next three years. By the same token though, Berlin has taciturnly accepted ECB President Mario Draghi’s expansionary monetary policy initiatives, despite the vigorous reactions by Germany’s central bank, the Bundesbank. Buba’s President, Jens Weidmann has always been opposing monetary easing in order to support the real economy, but Berlin hasn’t backed him all the way.
The urgent need to devise additional stimuli to revive the European economy has led the newly elected European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to promise a €300bn investment programme. The question is though if this will constitute a new financial instrument or if it will be procured from existing sources, like the approved EU budgets for the next seven years. This can be narrowed down to a rearrangement of existing credit lines.
Commission sources say that an adroit use of public money can mobilise 10 times more of private capital. Then they argue that the extra public money needed doesn’t look that monstrous as Junker’s initial announcement. Conversely, the French don’t share this approach. Paris asserts that a meaningful accomplishment of the Junker investment plan needs at least €80bn of new public spending.
Whatever the outcome around the new investment plan, the truth remains that so far the cheap money policy with the close to zero interest rates, introduced in the European financial system by the ECB a long time ago, hasn’t galvanised Eurozone’s growth capacities. It becomes clear then that monetary policy alone cannot reactivate the economy. Consequently, the €300bn investment package has to be implemented with maximum sensitivity vis-à-vis the millions of the unemployed.
If this is to be the case, the 28 EU leaders’ Summit of 18-19 December has to take immediate action on two fronts, investments at EU level and structural reforms for member countries, including Germany. Only then ECB’s quantitative easing (albeit restricted) is to have a noticeable impact. If not, Eurozone will continue to tremble every time Greece is heading for bankruptcy. It is equally true that Italy, France and Spain cannot tolerate politically, socially and financially the fiscal and monetary austerity any more.
And it’s not only that. Marine Le Pen has already aligned her National Front with Putin’s Russia, the same is true for Viktor Orban’s Hungary, while Nigel Farage can amputate the Union with his UKIP. All these are direct outcomes of Europe’s economic sickness. If an effective cure is not introduced right away, soon there won’t be much left to revive. Juncker said that his is the ‘Commission of last chance’. He is more than right, actually this is the ‘Union of last Chance’.
If you are an experienced Linux user, you can install mesibo on-premise with web-based control panel on your Linux server directly (just like any other software) without using docker. We earlier offered Amazon EC2 AMI created using this approach. However, since many mesibo users use other hosting providers, we are making all the steps, and scripts available in this document.
Slight performance advantage.
Limited Distributions, unlike the mesibo docker image which supports almost all Linux distributions, this approach is supported only on RHEL8 (Ubuntu soon) based distributions.
It is required that you refer to and try Docker-based installation first before you attempt this.
Server running RHEL8 / Rocky Linux 8 / Oracle Linux / Other variants. Note that CentOS 8 has reached End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021, and hence it is not recommended for new installs.
Working knowledge of the Linux command line and setting up MySQL and NGINX server.
All commands MUST be run as the root user. Log in as root (or use sudo).
The following image shows the mesibo on-premise setup with a web-based control panel.
The web-based control panel is used for the mesibo configuration and also to start, restart, stop or update mesibo on-premise server. It is optional and you can remove it if you do not require it, however, we recommend that you keep it.
Nginx web server used for accessing web-based control panel and mesibo backend APIs. Although we have only described the Nginx setup here, you can use any web server of your choice.
You can use a script to download mesibo on-premise from GitHub and install it.
Run the following command to download and execute the script. Alternatively, you can download and modify the script before executing it.
mesibo-sync, which keeps the mesibo on-premise updated and runs the web control panel on system init / boot.
You need to add the following configuration in your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
If you prefer to use the database on the same server, you need to install and configure the MySQL server. You also need to create a database mesibo.
Run the following command to download and execute the script which will install the MySQL server. Alternatively, you can download and modify the script before executing it.
Replace 16GB in above configuration with 70-80% of RAM in your MySQL server.
mysql -e "uninstall plugin validate_password"
mysql -e "UNINSTALL COMPONENT 'file://component_validate_password'"
mesibo on-premise writes logs into /var/log/mesibo/logs file.
mesibo moves previous logs to /var/log/mesibo/ directory in a file having the name pattern logs-YYMMDD-*.Don't misunderstand me there are very few bad gamers just bad fits for a table.  If that's what you want to play go for it.  To me though at that point its a pen and paper miniatures game and personally I have never understood why people wouldn't just play turn based strategy vs's matches in video games at that point, way easier to keep track of everything.

Also you answered your own point.  "It was fun as a one shot. I couldn't do it more than that though." so it does get old quick even to you.  I am not trying to misrepresent you at all.  Just seems that way.﻿using System;

}Go to B.B.C. concert at 8.15 (Area). Inc. H. Samuel playing well (but not perfectly) Bach's D min concerto. Not as good as I have heard him. Ireland's beautiful Forgotten Rite. & a by no means perfect performance of Belshazzar's Feast by B.B.C. Chorus. Denis Noble is v. fine singer. It is amazingly clever & effective music. with some great moments, I feel.ICEM is a construction institute started by a team of 10 people who has more than 10 years of experience in the construction field. ICEM provides intermediate courses which will help the graduates finding the right job and give them technical and practical knowledge parallely. ICEM helps them in setting the goal and deal with the real construction field.
ICEM needed help in branding and creating a powerful brand value for them. ICEM is actually a dream project and they approached us for better ideas in what they can do to launch their brand. They wanted us to work on visionary ideas, those should help ICEM and also the graduates. ICEM will help them or give them the opportunity to achieve technical and practical knowledge.
After researching about how we can present ICEM, we came up with the idea of a brand story. The concept of the brand story is that, the students or graduates are considered to be pencils that is pencils stands for the graduates. Pencils or clearly the unsharpened ones represents the fresh graduates and as long as they are the unsharpened ones, ICEM represents the sharpener. This concept really worked well. A pencil has its own position in the world of construction and civil engineering and we know it.
So, this idea was really a revelation in the process. It helped on all the other aspects of the task. After confirming this concept we decided to use the same story in brochures, posters and in the promotional video also.
The solutions we came up with resulted in a massive success. The concept we implemented worked according to the plan and the client was impressed. They were satisfied and we moved forward with the idea. Designed brochures highlighting the same story and also used it to create the promo video. This success resulted in the satisfaction
