The NOAA contract is not likely to result in any additional hiring for Vigor, but it will keep the numbers pretty steady over the next year. Depending on when that work comes in, Vigor employs anywhere from 300 to 500 people. Doiron says the global economic situation has weighed heavily on commercial customers, and some, like oil companies, have taken their business to China.īy simple proximity, Vigor may also see more business from NOAA when the agency moves its Pacific operations center to Newport in 2011.ĭoiron estimates that Vigor’s typical repair projects range in size from $100,000 to $20 million, with 75% of them - about 30 or so projects - topping the $1 million mark. “This gives us some flexibility … and gives our workforce and management teams a better idea of what’s coming up”Īwarded in September, the contract includes $7 million in stimulus funds and calls for structural repairs, system replacements and modifications to NOAA’s 231-foot seafloor mapping vessel Rainier.įor Vigor, which is bidding on two other NOAA jobs this fall, the contract marks a continued focus on governmental work. “In ship repair, long-term projects are unique,” says Rene Doiron, vice president for ship repair at Vigor’s parent company, Vigor Industrial. So it’s no surprise that landing a year-long, $13.1 million contract from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is proving to be a big deal for the Portland company. It’s a fairly standard timeline, but one that also makes it pretty difficult for workers in such a wavy industry to ever enjoy a real sense of job security. Results were not available by press time.Īfter that vote, Vigor and the unions will return to the bargaining table.AN AVERAGE SHIP repair job for Vigor Marine runs from four to six weeks. Oldham said the Metal Trades Council wants to gauge current sentiment among workers, so the union planned another strike vote for March 15. In December, members voted by 95% to approve a strike pre-authorization. They’ve also been preparing for the possibility of a strike, hosting a sign-making event at the Painters union hall in January. Unions at the shipyard have been staging actions to build solidarity among workers, including a series of “punch-out walkout” actions where workers clock out en masse and gather at the end of their shifts. “I think their general thought was that with the price that they’re paying for gas and groceries, coupled with the inflation rate, they felt like it was not enough,” said Painters union rep Scott Oldham, president of the Portland Metal Trades Council.įor an average journeyman at the shipyard making about $35 an hour, the raises in the tentative agreement worked out to a little over 3%, at a time when inflation is running above 7.5%. But members-including workers represented by the Boilermakers, IBEW, Painters, Laborers, Sheet Metal, Pipefitters, Machinists, Teamsters and Operating Engineers-voted to reject it. The Metal Trades Department brought that offer to a vote on March 4. In its most recent offer, Vigor proposed a $2,000 ratification bonus and $1.10, $1.25 and $1.40 per hour raises, while maintaining existing benefits. The company’s offer has increased since it initially offered a $1,250 signing bonus and hourly raises of $0.35, $0.60, and $0.75 in a three-year contract. The AFL-CIO Metal Trades Department represents about 900 workers at Vigor and the two sides have been negotiating since the previous contract expired Nov. Metal trades unions are holding a second strike authorization vote after shipyard workers in Portland and Seattle voted to reject a tentative agreement with Vigor Marine. ![]()

You're not comparing apples to apples anymore. Compare that to life time HP/Arube warranty on certain lines (such as the aforementioned 25xx). Ubiquiti only warranties them for one year. Within the last three or so years I have, however, had to replace about a dozen EdgeSwitches due to random failures. The EdgeSwitches are newer devices so they don't have a 10 year track record yet. I have 2510 switches that are now 10 years old and are still running. You get a 2530 type switch (successor to the 2510) and you can expect it to last a very long time even under less-than-ideal conditions such as poor power conditions. They simply are not as robust as HP's Procurve line. I have about a hundred of them at various remote locations and I'm afraid that as time goes by, my satisfaction level is going down. A step up is their EdgeSwitch model which is the one I have deployed. ![]() Ubiquiti themselves do say that their stuff is not meant for high performance so much.Īs far as switching goes, the Unifi line of switches can be nice for those who want a single pane of glass and use their Software Defined Networking (SDN) implementation.

It follows that the form of a servant should be shown in the judgment to both good and wicked, while the form of God should be kept for the good alone." But those to be judged were the good and the bad. cxxvii): "It was but right that those who were to be judged should see their judge. xix in Joan.), "there will be a resurrection of dead bodies, which God will raise up through the Son of Man" just as by "the same Christ He raises souls," inasmuch as "He is the Son of God." Thirdly, because, as Augustine observes (De Verb. Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of His grace." Secondly, because at the last judgment, as Augustine says (Tract. 4:15) the Apostle says: "For we have not a high-priest, who cannot have compassion on our infirmities but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin. First, because of His likeness and kinship with men for, as God works through intermediary causes, as being closer to the effects, so He judges men through the Man Christ, that His judgment may be sweeter to men. Now judiciary power belongs to Christ in this way according to His human nature on three accounts. xxxix in Joan.) but because this belongs to the grace of the Head, which Christ received in His human nature. it seems that the authority of Scripture quoted above must be interpreted thus: "He gave Him power to do judgment, because He is the Son of Man" not on account of the condition of His nature, for thus all men would have this kind of power, as Chrysostom objects (Hom. ![]() Now it was said before ( Q, AA,4) that Christ even in His human nature is Head of the entire Church, and that God has "put all things under His feet." Consequently, it belongs to Him, even according to His human nature, to exercise judiciary power. 1:17): "Because it is the judgment of God," that is to say, it is by His authority that you judge. 1:16): "Judge that which is just" and further on ( Dt. But since the expressions used were greater than those appertaining to man, He said in explanation: 'Wonder not at this, because He is the Son of man, for He is likewise the Son of God.'" And he proves this by the effect of the Resurrection: wherefore He adds: "Because the hour cometh when the dead in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God."īut it must be observed that although the primary authority of judging rests with God, nevertheless the power to judge is committed to men with regard to those subject to their jurisdiction. ![]() Accordingly he thus explains the passage just quoted from John: "'He gave Him power to do judgment, because He is the Son of man: wonder not at this.' For He received judiciary power, not because He is man but because He is the Son of the ineffable God, therefore is He judge. xxxix in Joan.) seems to think that judiciary power belongs to Christ not as man, but only as God. 5:27): "He hath given Him power to do judgment, because He is the Son of man." 17:9,10: "The heart of man is perverse and unsearchable, who can know it? I am the Lord who search the heart, and prove the reins: who give to every one according to his way." Therefore judiciary power does not belong to Christ as man but as God. 4:5: "Judge not before the time until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts." But this belongs exclusively to the Divine power, according to Jer. Objection 3: Further, it belongs to Christ's judiciary power to judge secrets of hearts, according to 1 Cor. xxiii super Joan.) that "the soul is made blessed by participation of God, and not by participation of a holy soul." Therefore it seems that judiciary power does not belong to Christ as man, but as God. But eternal beatitude, which is the reward of good works, is bestowed by God alone: thus Augustine says (Tract. Objection 2: Further, it belongs to judiciary power to reward the good, just as to punish the wicked. Consequently, judiciary power does not belong to Christ as man but as God. xxxi) that judgment is attributed to the Son inasmuch as He is the law of the first truth. Objection 1: It would seem that judiciary power does not belong to Christ as man.

This is how players will be able to start off The Lost Tundra questline and get access to one of the most important buildings for this update – The Furnace. The moment you step foot (or fly past considering you’re up in the air) in the new region, the game will once again notify you about the harsh conditions of The Lost Tundra and how it’ll affect your buildings.Īt the same time, if you look around, you should be able to find a small campsite where it turns out to be a Frozen Encampment where they’ll give you a quest to find the lost explorers who went out to hunt for treasures but have not made their way back home. Once you head far North and see a desolate plain covered with ice, you’ve reached the Lost Tundra. While you’re still able to travel back to the previous regions if you need more resources, I wouldn’t really recommend it because the trip back can be very long and tedious.įrom first glance, the new area is pretty big so there’s tons of stuff for players to explore and enjoy from this free update. Once you’ve made sure that you’re all stocked up on the resources that aren’t available in the new region, you can head up to the far North part of the map where you should be able to see an entire region covered in white. So like a squirrel storing nuts in its mouth for the winter, you’ll need to stock up on those resources before it runs completely dry during your travels in the new region. On top of the weather, players will need to stock up on Coal, Water and Food before heading off to The Lost Tundra as there won’t be any of those deposits available. The things you have the keep in mind are that a lot of your buildings will be affected by the weather, so you need to maintain your kingdom’s Lift, Propulsion and Resource production buildings so that it won’t hinder your progress.

Git branches, then, can be seen as a pointer to a snapshot of your changes. As you create new commits in the new branch, Git creates new pointers to track the changes. In Git, a branch is essentially a reference or a pointer to the latest commit in a given context it’s not a container for commits. Meanwhile, other VCS tools store information as a list of file-based changes which may slow things down and use up significant space. This means that these branches aren’t just copies of the file system but simply a pointer to the latest commit. The biggest advantage of a Git branch is that it’s ‘lightweight’, meaning that data consists of a series of snapshots so with every commit you make, Git takes a picture of what your files look like at that moment and stores a reference to that snapshot. The default branch in Git is the master branch. Git branches allow developers to diverge from the main branch by creating separate branches to isolate code changes. Put simply, Git and other version control tools allow developers to track, manage and organize their code. However, in this article we focus on Git due to the many advantages this model of branching offers.Ĭonsequently, before we delve into the various branching strategies out there, including Git branching strategies, we will take a look at how Git actually handles branches and why it’s a standout among other VCS tools. Maintain a bug-free code where developers can quickly fix issues and get these changes back to production without disrupting the development workflowīranches are not just exclusive to Git.Map a clear path when making changes to software through to production.Help organize a series of planned, structured releases.Enhance productivity by ensuring proper coordination among developers.Why you need a branching strategyĪs mentioned above, having a branching strategy is necessary to avoid conflicts when merging and to allow for the easier integration of changes into the master trunk. In this post, we will outline some of the branching strategies that teams use in order to organize their workflow where we will look at their pros and cons and which strategy you should choose based on your needs, objectives and your team’s capabilities. ![]() When we talk about branches, we are referring to independent lines of code that branch off the master branch, allowing developers to work independently before merging their changes back to the code base. In other words, it enables teams to work in parallel to achieve faster releases and fewer conflicts by creating a clear process when making changes to source control. Thus, adhering to a branching strategy will help solve this issue so that developers can work together without stepping on each other’s toes. Such merge conflicts would eventually deter shipping code quickly and thus hindering from creating and maintaining an efficient DevOps process as the whole purpose of DevOps is creating a fast workflow that would allow for the release of small batches of code. Such a strategy is necessary as it helps keep repositories organized to avoid errors in the application and the dreaded merge hell when multiple developers are working simultaneously and are all adding their changes at the same time. It is essentially a set of rules that developers can follow to stipulate how they interact with a shared codebase. A branching strategy, therefore, is the strategy that software development teams adopt when writing, merging and deploying code when using a version control system. ![]() |
