It is not just an Integer, it is a Domain Primitive
Dear Junior
Right now I am sitting on train number 928, travelling from home on my way to Arlanda airport and onwards to Explore DDD Conference to present on Domain Primitives together with my friend and colleague Daniel Deogun. Train numer 928 … if I would write a program handling trains I would probably come up with a class named TrainNumber somewhere sooner or later.
Some people might object ”come on Dan, that’s overdoing it, 928 is just an integer” and suggest representing it as a simple int. Me forming a separate class - am I doing it more complex that it is?
For a moment, let us dive into ”it is just an integer”. What does it mean to be ”just an integer” anyway?
Obviously integers are not just a bunch of numbers in a pile. One of the first intellectual things we teach our kids is to count stuff ”one, two, three, four …” pedagogically moving our adult index finger from one toy car to the next. Clearly the fact that ”three” comes immediately after ”four” is something very fundamental for us.
Does that hold for train numbers as well?
Another important property of integers are that we can add them to each other: 4+5=9. This is a really useful property that enable us to take some new-bought apples (five of them) and put them in the fruit bowl where there were some apples since before (four of them). We now know there are nine apples in the bowl. And it neither matters how many apples there were in the bowl, nor how many apples we put in, the result will always be a integer amount of apples.
Of course, integers can be negative. Negatives denote a shortcoming, a lack, or a debt. According to the bank, I own an impressing number of negative Swedish kronor related to my house loan. And when I add Swedish kronor to that negative pile, at time of mortgage, that negative number increase towards zero. Hopefully it will be zero some day.
Does that hold for train numbers as well?
We can also multiply integers: collecting four piles of plates, each six plates high, yields a pile of twenty-four plates.
Does that hold for train numbers as well?
Zooming out, using mathematical notation: the integers form ”an abelian group under addition”. This means for example that there exists an ”identity element” (denoted 0) such that it doesn’t matter if you add it to another integer: 0+a = a. It also means that for every other element (not 0) there exists an ”inverse” which is the ”opposite”; so as 4 is an integer which is not not 0, there must exist an integer (which we name -4) such that 4 + (-4) = 0.
Does that hold for train numbers as well?
Being ”just an integer” does not seem so simple any longer, doesn’t it? It turns out that integers is a very rich type with a lot of properties (and we have not even started talking about prime numbers yet).
Does really train numbers have all these complex properties?
Of course not: There isn’t necessarily any specific meaning in that train number 928 is ”adjacent to” train number 929. Adding train number 928 and 356 does not necessarily yield a train number. Train numbers are very seldom negativ. Multiplying two train numbers doesn’t make sense at all (a train-square?). Train numbers does certainly not form an abelian group.
Train numbers are much simper than integers. It’s basically just a set of distinct elements, without any operations or relations apart from comparing two of them.
Train numbers are simply something that is a primitive in our domain. It’s one of the fundamental concepts that the train domain stand on, its parts carry no meaning. In that regard it fulfils the same kind of role that ”language primitives” fulfil in programming languages, but in the train domain. It is a ”train primitive”.
Turing our heads toward programming, think about all the things you can do with an int - just have a look in the Math-class for inspiration. This means that whenever someone think ”train numbers are just integers” they have to take care not to do any of these things that can be done. The TrainNumber class on the other hand can only be used for what it is intended for, nothing else.
Saying that train numbers is a domain primitive, and giving it a class TrainNumber, is not to make things complex. It’s to make things simple.

The Medical Services Review Board (MSRB) is composed of two chiropractic representatives, one hospital representative, one registered nurse, one physical therapist, one occupational therapist, six physicians of different specialties, one employee representative and one employer/insurer representative.
The MSRB advises the department about workers' compensation medical issues; is the liaison between the department and the medical-provider community; and supports and engages in the education of the provider community about workers' compensation. The MSRB also has the authority to sanction a medical provider after a hearing at the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) if there has been a violation of the workers' compensation statutes or rules.
By statute, the MSRB is a separate entity from the department. However, the department supplies all required administrative support to the board.
The MSRB meets quarterly, from 4 to 6 p.m., in the Minnesota Room at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. See the current meeting schedule below. Some members may participate by telephone. If so, members of the public may also monitor the meeting electronically by telephone. For more information or to be added to the email list for meeting notices, contact Anita Hess at or 651-284-5567. People on the email list for meeting notices may also receive periodic updates from the department about workers' compensation activities.

Parse a DSN string in Python
A simple hack to get the different parts of a DSN string (which are used in PDO in PHP):
def parse_dsn(dsn):
m ="([a-zA-Z0-9]+):(.*)", dsn)
values = {}
if (m and and
values['driver'] =
m_options = re.findall("([a-zA-Z0-9]+)=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)",
for pair in m_options:
values[pair[0]] = pair[1]
return values
The returned dictionary contains one entry for each of the entries in the DSN.
Update: helge also submitted a simplified version of the above:
driver, rest = dsn.split(':', 1)
values = dict(re.findall('(\w+)=(\w+)', rest), driver=driver)
Fatal error: Undefined class constant ‘ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE’
apt-get install
pecl install pdo
pecl install pdo_mysql
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If you’re building from source, you’ll need to add:
Hi there Mr. PDO!
We’ve come to know each other, and yes, while you have your troubles (.. which I don’t, of course), I’ve accepted your short comings. Today you threw another one of your fits, but I’ll be sure to document it for the world to see.
$statement = $pdo->prepare("
:offset, :hits
Yep. This will of course fail if you’re binding strings. ’10’, ’10’ is not very helpful now, is it. Good point. So let’s tell PDO that we’re really binding ints:
$statement->bindValue(':offset', $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->bindValue(':hits', $hits, PDO::PARAM_INT);
But wait. You’re still complaining?! I told you they were ints?! What’s the problem now?!?!
Well. Mr. PDO requires you to also convert the values for him. So first you have to convert the values of a loosely typed language to a strong type, then you have to tell the library that yes, this is in fact another type than what the library obviously assumes that it is. This works:
$statement->bindValue(':offset', (int) $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$statement->bindValue(':hits', (int) $hits, PDO::PARAM_INT);
Which means the following:
If the type of your variable internally is a string, it’ll be escaped as a string, even if you tell PDO that it should be handled as an INT in your database layer.
If the type of your variable is an int, it’ll be handled as a string, unless you tell PDO it is an int.
Something is backwards here.
public function __sleep()
$this->manager = null;
return array_keys(get_object_vars($this));
And there you have it, one solved problem!
Getting a Look Behind the Scenes of PDO
Ulf Wendel is presenting several good articles about the process about implementing the mysqlnd library for PDO as PDO_MYSQLND. I wrote about PDO_MYSQLND when it first was announced, but Ulf has posted two good articles about the implementation of PDO_MYSQLND since then. These articles provide a unique insight into how PDO is built and what challenges lies ahead for PDO2 (.. in addition to the license and NDA debate..)

Benefits Of Creating User Documents In-House
For small companies, creating their product's User Documentation in-house, provides benefits to the company, to (idle) staff, and to the product. This article describes the benefits and some downsides of producing User Documents in-house.
If you have no in-house writing staff you have three options:
1. No User Document for the product. This is NOT a valid option. Every product needs User Documentation. It completes your product package, and enhances the User's experience with your product. Here are two examples of non-existent User Documentation:
* Tomatoes. Most people don't know that before use, tomatoes should not be refrigerated. Refrigerating tomatoes before use will reduce their flavor and nutrition value.
* A Manual Can Opener. This can opener clamps on the can, thus the user does not have to squeeze the handles while operating the can opener. It came with no User Documentation, as "everyone could probably figure out how to use it." This is wrong. After a few uses, the blades become slightly dulled, and the handles are very difficult to clamp and lock.
The simple tip of turning the knob while squeezing the handles makes the can opener easy to use. That tip could form the basis of a User Manual for the product. The manual should include instructions for care of the can opener. The absurd situation is that this clamp feature was the unique aspect of the product; but the feature becomes unusable because of no User Document.
How have you felt about products that came without User Documentation? Were you confused about the product and getting the most from it? User Documentation adds to the value of the product. Let's look at how we can get it created.
2. Use an outside writing service or consultant. Technical writers may be an excellent choice to create your User Documentation. However, there may be downsides to using them.
* When documentation changes have to be made, the company has to re-hire the writer. If the writer were unavailable, then you have to wait or search for a new writer. When the new writer gets hired, a new orientation to the company and the project would have to start. Delays, delays, delays.
* An even more horrible thought is that the outside writer used some fancy piece of software to create the User Document, and you do not own that software. Thus you could not make any changes until you bought and learned that software, or hired an outside writer who uses the same software. (Most technical writers are enamored with a particular piece of esoteric writing software.)
Using the outside writer will force you to batch your documentation changes, making the literature out of date. (How many times have you seen product documentation that does not match the product? This happens because the company was waiting for the next major upgrade to update the User Documentation.)
3. Using idle employees in your company to create the User Documentation. The remainder of this article will focus on this option.
In most organizations, there is some staff down-time. By assigning these staff to create User Documents you benefit from effective use of this down-time, and the employees benefit from experience in a new field.
These staffing benefits include:
* Use staff who may be idle between projects
* Your staff know the company's culture and their fellow staff
* Your staff use existing company-wide writing tools (your word processor)
* No time needed to get oriented with the physical aspects of the job
* You have created a new resource within company
If you have in-house writers (even if they are not formally trained as "technical writers") you can just say "Sue, could you or Tom update the document where the sign-in window is presented." Much faster and more flexible then having to go to an outside source. Sue and Tom have ownership of the document, and would work to improve it. They would use software resources available in your organization.
The benefits of in-house writers to your User Documents include:
* You can make corrections as you find the errors.
* You are able to update your User Document when you update your product.
* Better control of timing and resources
* No fear in dealing with the User Document in electronic form. From your word processor or add-ins, you can publish your User Document as a portable data format (.pdf) file, or as HTML for display on the Internet.
The primary downsides of in-house User Document creation are the attitude and emotions of your newly-appointed writer. These include:
* Fear ("I don't know how to write")
* Anger ("Why me? This is unfair")
* Uncertainty ("I don't know what to write")
* Isolation ("I've been cast into this writing thing")
You can reduce these negative emotions if you encourage and support your New Writer.
It is unfair to assign a non-writer to create a User Document without supporting him/her. You have to support your writer with:
* Training;
* Access to the development and marketing teams for product information;
* Use of the development team to evaluate their writing (small chunks);
* Access to the product, industry literature, and marketing materials;
* Style manual;
* Editor -- your writing expert;
* Time to do a good job.

On the Dimension of Characters and Worlds
On the Dimension of Characters and Worlds
I came across a blog entry from Stephanie Wood which spoke to me and became curious to see how many others would agree or disagree with the author.
For one, I tend to write worlds that have 3D characters in a 2D world. This means that my characters’ thoughts and emotions dominate the narrative, whereas the world I describe is mostly nameless. In the Portrait the city my characters inhabit is simply referred to as the City. I throw in a few breadcrumbs to identify them.
I know a lot of people seem to prefer the reverse, something I noticed that the Lord of the Rings had in kind. He would spend pages describing places, structures and their history. However, he comparatively glossed over the characters.
I certainly agree that there is room for both (and other writing styles). I was just curious to see what others thought about it!

[APD] Re: pump motor gets hot and ....
Well, it has been my experience with numerous submerged pumps and directly
coupled pumps in the sump system I use for my tank, that they all generate
heat to some degree. Unfortunately, I have had some that do so to the
extreme. My tank heater rarely comes into use as the pump itself heats the
water. And no, there is no blockage, restriction, or extreme of any sort. I
am using a RIO brand at present, I have used Quiet One, and once even a
Little Giant (which was far too noisy). The action of the pump does indeed
generate heat which of course is readily transferred to the water flowing
out of it. The directly coupled pumps do seem to dissipate the heat into the
surrounding air and less into the water itself, at least in my experience.
But mind you I have only been in the aquarium hobby for 40 years.

I'm stuck with variables format. I know this is a stupid question but I'm on it for 2 hours and I'm losing my mind.
I began in this programing stuff maybe 2 months ago, so I'm really new at it.
The problem is:
I have:
command.Data = new ushort[] { xx, yy, zz };
And I need to do:
ushort zz = System.Math.Tan(c1AngleX);
But the output of System.Math.Tan is "double", so I kinda can't have the "ushort" there.
I tried this
ushort zz = (Convert.ToUInt16 (System.Math.Tan(c1AngleX));
But I can't.
There's any way to convert "double" to "ushort"?

The conversion is rather trivial:
ushort zz = (ushort)System.Math.Tan(c1AngleX);
However, I don't think the "ushort" is a convenient way to store the tangent values, unless they fall with a restrict angle interval.
Moreover, the "ushort" isn't a nice (nor common) type: the "unsigned" types lead to mistakes, unless you check for under/overflow.
Why don't you use "float" instead of "ushort"?
On the regular .Net (desktop) framework I'd use "double" instead of "float", but here you have a tiny board and the resources (CPU and RAM) are precious. Double takes 8 bytes and Single (float) takes 4. Furthermore, the float math should be natively supported, but the "double" not.
Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.

I've been using .NET for about 3 1/2 years now and I've never even come across the ushort type. I don't normally have to be too concious of how many bytes a variable would take up though which might play a factor in my answer (Usually work on web applications).
I would basically second what Mario suggested in that you should probably just use a float if resource is going to be an issue else just return it natively as a double.
The code could be;
// You don't have to set the variable type if you use the 'var' keyword as
// it will just be set to whatever is returned from the method. In this case a double.
var zz = System.Math.Tan(12342);
float zx = (float)System.Math.Tan(12342);
Most of the time I have managed to get away with using the following types in my code;
• int
• float
• double
• decimal
• string
• bool
• object

Statistiques de Houle pour Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport, Février: Toutes Houles – Tous Vents
This image describes the combination of swells directed at Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport through a typical February, based on 2664 NWW3 model predictions since 2007 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind and surf right at the coast so we have chosen the best grid node based on what we know about Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport, and at Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport the best grid node is 34 km away (21 miles).
The diagram indicates that the prevailing swell direction, shown by the largest spokes, was SE, whereas the the dominant wind blows from the WNW. Because the wave model grid is away from the coast, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport and out to sea. We combine these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To avoid confusion we don't show these in the rose diagram. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport, you can load a different image that shows only the swells that were forecast to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. Over an average February, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Great Egg Harbor Inlet Longport run for about 55% of the time.

The GWT (Germann Water permeation Test) is used for on-site evaluation of
• The water permeation of the skin-concrete in finished structure
• The water permeation of masonry panels
• The water tightness of construction joints and sealed control joints
• Effectiveness of water proofing membranes
Gwt_1 The GWT measures the permeation of water into the test surface under an applied pressure.
A pressure chamber containing a watertight gasket is secured tightly to the surface by two anchored clamping pliers or by means of a suction plate. Alternatively, the gasket may be bonded to the surface with an adhesive.
The chamber is filled with water and the water is allowed to be absorbed by the test surface for 10 minutes. The filling valve is closed, and the top cap of the chamber is turned until a desired water pressure is displayed on the gauge. As water permeates into the concrete, the selected pressure is maintained by means of a micrometer gauge pushing a piston into the chamber. The piston movement compensates for the volume of water penetrating into the material.
The travel of the piston as a function time is recorded and the speed the piston travel in µm/s is used to characterize the permeation of the test surface.
Application Examples
1. Permeation of Concrete Surface
On the left, the cap of the GWT is being tightened to bring the water pressure to 100 kPa. On the right the GWT is being used on a vertical concrete surface. An elbow is used to permit initial filling of the chamber. The micrometer is turned to advance the piston and maintain the water pressure at 100 kPa. The micrometer position is recorded as a function of time. Testing is usually conducted for 10 minutes, but longer times and a higher pressure (500 kPa) may be required for low w/cm concrete.
2. Laboratory Evaluations
With the use of the optional laboratory kit, the GWT can be used to determine the water penetration characteristics of alternative concrete mixtures or surface sealers. While a standard method for evaluating test data exists, one approach is to calculate the “depth” of water penetration as a function of time using the following relationship:
Gwt_4It has been found that the depth of water penetration is a linear function of the square root of time (1), where time is measured from when water is first added to the GWT chamber. Therefore, the following function can be fitted to the data:
Gwt_9where a is the intercept and s is called the sorptivity index in units of mm/t. The plot to the left is an example of typical data of depth of water penetration versus time. In this case measurement of water penetration began after a 5-minute delay from the time water was introduced into the chamber. The chamber pressure was 100 kPa. The best-fit of Eq. (2) is shown, and the sorptivity index from the regression analysis is 0.01
3. In-place Quality Assurance Testing
Correlations can be established between the speed of piston travel and the depth of water penetration measured on companion specimens using EN 12390-8 “Testing Hardened Concrete-Part 8: Depth of Penetration of Water Under Pressure.” The graph on the right is an example of such a correlation. Project specifications may require that the concrete meet a maximum water penetration using the 72-h EN 12390-8 test. For example, a maximum depth of 50 mm is specified typically for concrete in non-corrosive conditions. Using the established correlation, the GWT can be used for in-place testing to demonstrate that the concrete in the structure conforms to the water penetration requirements.
4. Masonry Permeability
The GWT is shown being used for testing the water tightness of a brick masonry wall. It was found that when it rained and for a normal wind pressure, water penetrated the wall. The first thought was that there was a problem with the mortar joints. By using the GWT, however, the problem was shown to be the related to the brick units, not to the mortar joints. The brick units had been burned at a higher temperature than normal to produce the required color, but the higher burning temperature increased the permeability of the brick.

What is .Networking?
.NetworkingGT is a .NET toolkit and run time architecture that will let you easily write programs that share data between distributed clients via a shared dictionary. Once you initialize the shared dictionary and subscribe to the particular data keys you are interested in, sharing data is usually just a matter of setting key / value pairs, and monitoring / retrieving the dictionary for changes to particular key/value pairs via event handlers.
Under the covers, the .Networking infrastructure automatically:
• handles all the networking work for you
• maintains the dictionary data structure
• distributes data through its client/server architecture
• caches data at the clients
• serializes and marshals the data
• maintains a per-client list of subscriptions that a client specifies to particular key/value pairs
• raises events when subscribed-to data is changed.
The Typical Shared Dictionary Program
While there is some setup code, most shared dictionary programs follow the same basic pattern. The programmer typically writes one or more client programs, where the client:
• opens a connection to the shared dictionary server (a basic server is distributed with the program)
• subscribes to keys within the dictionary
• notifications are received by creating event handlers associated with a subscription, where events are raised whenever a key is added or deleted, and whenever its value changes
• responds to events such a changes in state of the shared dictionary, and events raised by changes to data in the shared dictionary.
• adds and/or deletes keys, and/or sets the value associated with a key in the dictionary
Notes on the implementation
• .NetworkingGT uses the GT Toolkit developed at the University of Saskatchewan as the underlying networking architecture. It is included with this software.

Carleas wrote:(Based on a true story)
Suppose you have an uninsulated hardwood floor that acts as a uniform heat sink for the room. You also have a blanket with an area \(A\) equal to the area of the floor. Will you keep the room warmer by laying the blanket flat across the whole floor, or folding it to double thickness and putting it across half the floor?
I have an intuition, but I don't know the right answer; I'm more interested how people reason about this. Will post my thoughts when I have a minute tomorrow.
Did you mean for this to be a puzzle or did you just want the answer, or the explanation?
Treat the materials as resistors
Floor = R0
Blanket = R1
Total floor area = A
Blanket unfolded;
Floor resistance alone = R0/A
Blanket resistance alone = R1/A
In series,
Ra = (R0+R1)/A
With blanket folded;
Floor resistance bare = R0/(0.5A) == R3
Blanket doubled on floor = (R0+2*R1)/(0.5A) == R4
Total bare floor and doubled blanket resistance;
Rb = R3*R4 / (R3+R4)
For any positive value of R0 and R1, Rb will be lower resistance to heat flow, thus less insulated.
But I suspect the more critical variable is what you are doing on that blanket. 8)

I did mean it to be a puzzler, because for me, with a poor knowledge of thermodynamics, I can only use my intuition and reason (assuming I am capable of using those :) . So pardon the rambling I'm about to do, and please point out where I'm wrong (not that you've ever held back).
Your answer matches my intuition, that the blanket spread out would do a better job of insulating, but I don't fully understand your math. Am I correct in reading you as calculating the total resistance of the floor? What is the equation you're using in the folded blanket example? I'm just not sure how you're calculating parallel resistance there.
And is that really the best way to calculate it? It doesn't seem obvious that changing insulation on one part of the floor will affect the cooling effect of the other parts, but isn't that the case for resistance, at least where the two halves are treated as parallel paths?
My intuition was to think of the problem in terms of rates, and ask how the blanket would affect the rate of heat flow. If an insulator decreases heat flow proportionally, i.e. by x%, then doubling the blanket would be less effective: The first layer of blanket would decrease the rate by x%, and then the second layer would decrease that lowered rate by x%. I suspect this is how insulation works.
If, however, an insulator reduced the rate by a fixed amount rather than a percent, then doubling up would be no different.
Finally, if insulation increased non-linearly, so that 2x the insulation produced >2x the reduction in rate, doubling could reduced total heat flow. The situation I've come up with where this might be the case is one where the blankets have a checkerboard pattern of open and closed spaces, so that when doubled they are fully closed. This could create a super-linear increase in insulation if a large obstruction to airflow is more effective than several small obstructions that sum to the same area.

Your intuition is the best solution because a precise answer would have to account for radiative, convective, and conductive heat transfers requiring more knowledge of your blanket and the floor in terms of air leakage and thermal conductivity.
When insulating an area, your biggest bang will come with eliminating air leaks between insulating pockets of air, so even a sheet of saran wrap over the entire floor would do a better job than a blanket folded in half and it's why people put plastic over their windows. Anytime you can divide one area from another area to prevent the volumes of air from intermingling, that's half the insulation battle. The other half is slowing the conduction of heat from one air pocket to the other via the material used for the division. One way to accomplish that is to slow the turbulence of the air in the pockets which is the purpose of the fiberglass stuffing. If air cannot move around, it cannot convect heat and it slows conduction through the barrier considerably which allows a mere paper backing to be a good-enough barrier dividing the 2 volumes. (Plus glass happens to not pass IR light easily, which is insulative as well.)
Heat, as you think of it (and not the proper definition) is infrared light which is only different from visible light in that it oscillates a bit slower. All light comes from the vibration (acceleration) of charged particles. So keeping your vibrating charged particles inside your room is of utmost importance. As molecules vibrate, they are emitting IR radiation (ie cooling). When the IR meets another charge, it induces a vibration and continues on its way. The charge then emits its own IR in all directions resulting from the induced vibration and etc, etc, etc from particle to particle. Now if you let the particle float out of the room, you've lost all that energy. Also, if you let that particle touch another particle, it will transfer all its energy immediately to the other particle. The best strategy is to keep all your particles still and let them vibrate (cool) slowly over time. So reduce air turbulence and seal all leaks.
You could put a tarp down and then a blanket over it, but it would be much more effective to put the blanket down first and the tarp over it because you will have created a pocket of air between the floor and the tarp wherein the stuffing inside the blanket would reduce air turbulence and essentially mimic typical pink insulation. You see how it works?

We’re posting a series of blog posts explaining genetics for the layperson in the context of their health.
This is part two of the series, and describes how de novo genome sequencing is done. Other posts in this series:
1. Part 1, genotypes, phenotypes, and polymorphism
This video describes how DNA is extracted from a biological tissue sample and prepared to form a “library” of bacterial clones that contain small pieces of the sample’s DNA. These bacteria are then grown in culture and sequenced using the Sanger method:
After the DNA is read out, it needs to be assembled. This traditional method of sequencing and assembly focuses on reading out longer sequences, which can be assembled with fewer readouts of each position:
Contrast traditional sequencing with shotgun sequencing and assembly, shown here:
The main consideration when choosing between traditional and shotgun methods of sequencing are, roughly:
• Price per base sequenced (physical materials)
• Price per base assembled (computing costs)
• Shotgun method produces sequence at a higher rate, but with more errors and has more assembly problems
Lower costs for sequencing each base favor the shotgun method over the traditional method. Shotgun sequencing is the method of choice today because of decreases in price-per-base sequenced, to be discussed in a later article.

There's Water On Mars But Is It Good For Pickling?
There’s Water on Mars.
But Does It Make Good Pickles?
What would happen if briny Martian liquid met an Earthling cucumber?
100 percent organic.
100 percent organic.
DEEP UNDER THE ICE CAP of Mars’s southern pole, there could be a store of water, the first stable body of liquid water ever found on the planet. After the paper announcing this discovery came out, reporters described a “lake of liquid water,” about 12 miles in diameter. Hearing that phrase, it’s easy, perhaps even natural, to imagine a bubble of crystal-clear water, hidden under the cap of frozen water and carbon dioxide, pure and sweet and waiting.
But the reality would be less appealing. The pressure of a mile-thick layer of ice changes the conditions under which water can be liquid, by decreasing its freezing point. Even so, to stay liquid at around -90°F, the “lake” would have to be a briny layer of water, rather than a pool of pure (or even drinkable) water.
Briny water has its uses, though. For instance, what if Martian water was used to make pickles?
Regular old Earth pickles.
Regular old Earth pickles.
On Earth, going back centuries, brines made with salt (the NaCl kind) and other chemical compounds, such as calcium chloride, have been used to preserve food. Sugar is an energy source for microbes, and if the wrong ones start feasting on a vegetable, it becomes unfit for human consumption. But salt can cultivate an environment that only certain desirable bacteria can survive. The salt also helps leach sugars from the cells of the vegetable, and the bacteria consume the sugar and excrete lactic acid. Many microbes also have a problem tolerating acidity, so the acid also keeps at bay microbes that are undesirable (for the purposes of human consumption, at least).
Ultimately, pickling is meant to deal with the microbes that were already living in and on the vegetables and that, given a chance, would create rot or mold or otherwise make the vegetable inedible. “The purpose is to eliminate the indigenous microbiota, essentially,” says Ilenys Perez-Diaz, an associate professor of food science at NC State University.

A Secret Weapon For investing bitcoin
It only took two minutes to produce a wallet, and it prompted me to make a backup: “Watch out! If this product is replaced or this application is deleted, neither you nor BitPay can Recuperate your funds without a backup.”
And Even though bitcoin is technically anonymous, that doesn’t imply you’ll always escape the watchful gaze of your IRS. As MONEY has Beforehand stated, for tax purposes, bitcoin is dealt with similar to a stock in that a trade can induce a funds gains tax Invoice.
Obtain BTC with money from your bank account. Once you've supplied your bank details and it's been confirmed via the Bitcoin service, it should be fairly simple to start acquiring BTC and including it to your wallet. Normally, on your wallet website page, there should be an alternative labeled "Obtain Bitcoin" or a little something identical — clicking this should take you through an easy transaction method that employs money from your bank account to acquire BTC.
To get Bitcoins, which trade at about $2,550 now, you may head over to sites like Coinbase, which allow individuals to make use of their credit or debit playing cards or bank accounts, to get Bitcoin or Ethereum. You should buy a portion of a Bitcoin—they divide into the eighth decimal position—and that means you don’t have to shell out the total $2,550. Before long, you’ll even be capable to see your Coinbase stability in your Fidelity account. It’s clearly a speculative investment. Even the Bitcoin.org Web-site founded by Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto (and now operate by Other folks) warns individuals they “should never ever anticipate for getting abundant with Bitcoin or any emerging technological know-how.” However, effectively-known investors together with Invoice Miller of Miller Benefit Funds and Michael Novogratz, previously of Fortress Investment Group, have been bullish on Bitcoin, with Novogratz expressing that its sector cap could soar earlier mentioned $5 trillion in 5 years from about $42 billion right now.
In the event you are interested in next the marketplace and looking at the fluctuation of the quite volatile coin and other cash available, it is possible to check out Coinmarketcap.
Bitcoin (or BTC for short) is often a electronic currency and peer-to-peer payment program created because of the pseudonymous application developer Satoshi Nakamoto. Although at first unidentified to most of the people, Bitcoin has just lately attracted numerous interest in the fiscal globe throughout the last couple of years.
Desire Protection Ratio The curiosity coverage ratio is usually a credit card debt ratio and profitability ratio utilized to ascertain how conveniently a corporation pays desire ... Funds Conversion Cycle - CCC Cash conversion cycle (CCC) can be a metric that expresses the length of time, in days, that it will require for a company to transform ... Inverted Yield Curve An inverted generate curve is definitely the curiosity level setting in which prolonged-expression debt devices have a decrease yield than short-expression .
Right now, you require specialised hardware, and you should be part of a “mining pool” where big figures of miners perform jointly and share the final results. Cash are usually not pure profit due to the expense of the hardware and also the electrical power consumed when mining. Also, you don’t understand what bitcoins is going to be worth when you start mining them.
Grayscale has authority above the administration of each and every Auto and shareholders’ legal rights are exceptionally confined.
Additionally, it warned me that “Anyone with your backup phrase can entry or commit your bitcoin”. I dutifully wrote it down.
Take into account "mining" Bitcoin. Ever question where Bitcoins originate from? Actually, new Bitcoins are created by way of a complicated computing system called "mining." In extremely simplified conditions, when mining BTC, your Personal computer competes with other end users' personal computers to resolve intricate problems. When your Computer system solves the trouble first, you might be awarded Bitcoin.
One example is, tulip bulb price ranges can be insane Nevertheless they retain likely up. I could be a idiot to acquire them, but I be expecting An even bigger idiot to obtain them from me. Simply just replace “buy low, sell superior” with “purchase high, sell higher”. This works right here until you run out of fools.
As such, it is a lot more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you may be your personal bank
The query is, is there any legit BTC investment System that permits little investors and are not about gambling(primedice) or all them are ripoffs?

From Religious Diversity to Religious Pluralism, an international conference in Padua, Italy
Call for Papers
Theme: From Religious Diversity to Religious Pluralism: What is at Stake?
Type: International Conference
Department of Sociology, University of Padua
Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion
Location: Padua (Italy)
Date: 15.–16.February.2012
Deadline: 20.November.2011
The social and religious panorama of the contemporary world is changing, due to the growing pressure of migration, cultural diversity, and religious diversity in particular. The presence of cultures and traditions different from those historically present in the various nations triggers processes of relating and comparing many aspects of daily social life, from politics to education, from economics to healthcare, from legal institutions to media, as well as the relations between generations and genres. The aim of the conference is to highlight how the factual situation of cultural and religious diversity may lead to individual, social and political choices of organized and recognized pluralism. It is a process that leads to redefine both the individual and collective identities, incessantly moving along the continuum that ranges from exclusion to inclusion. If on one side liberal democracies acknowledge the right of freedom of religion, on the other side the policies ensuring social cohesion must continually negotiate the competition between the shared social values and the specific ones of the different religions. Starting from the different levels of legitimacy granted to religions other than one’s own, the connections between religion and politics are redefined as well as are the connections among the various religions and between the believers and their own religions. Such an unprecedented situation requires new tools both at conceptual and methodological level in order to be described and interpreted properly. The transition from religious diversity to religious pluralism is one of the most important challenges that will reshape the role of religion in contemporary society.
You are invited to submit your papers investigating the various issues that, from the most diverse and unexpected points of view, are linked to the theme of religious diversity and pluralism.
Please submit a 250 word abstract of your presentation to Giuseppe Giordan ( by November 20, 2011.
Since the conference will take place on the days leading up to the weekend of the Venice Carnival, if you arrive in Padua via Venice airport, we encourage you to reserve your air ticket as soon as possible. For this reason the notification of acceptance of your papers will be communicated to you within two or three days after sending your abstracts.

lumiBots Mey Lean Kronemann 2009-2011 robots, light, sensors, pheromone, organization, complexity, visualization, arduino
The lumiBots are small, autonomous robots that react to light. They can leave glowing traces which slowly fade away, so that older, darker trails are visible as well as newer, brighter ones. This way, generative images that consistently change are generated. They are appealing just for the glow effect, but also have a deeper meaning for the robots: They can follow the lines with their light sensors, and amplify them whilst preferring brighter (newer) and broader (more often used) trails.
Point Cloud James Leng 2012 interactive, monitoring, meteorology, prediction, controll, interpret data, visualitzation, dynamic data, responsive environment, weather data, visualization, arduino
Created by James Leng, Point Cloud is an attempt to re-imagine our daily interaction with weather data. Even with the modern scientific and technological developments related to weather and when we can deploy sophisticated monitoring devices to document and observe weather, our analysis and understanding of meteorology is still largely approximate. Weather continues to surprise us and elude our best attempts to predict, control, and harness the various elements. Point Cloud builds on this premise, exploring new ways to interpret and understand weather data.

A Closer Look at Google Web Applications
Most people are familiar with Google’s Gmail application. It is lightweight, easy to use, and accessible from any computer with an Internet connection. It has redefined the word webmail for those of us using it daily. Some reasons: Conversation mode, search, and labels are a few of the tools that make it the killer web-application for most businesses.
Gmail might be the application that launched Google into the web software business, but is certainly wasn’t the last. With more than a baker’s dozen of applications, Google has jumped into this market completely. A few applications overlap with the Zoho list from yesterday, but others are solely Google’s.
Here is the list for Google.
1. Search—Web search toolGoogle Search
1. Docs—Feature-rich word processor
2. Spreadsheets—Fully functioning spreadsheetGDocsandSheets
3. Gmail—Webmail done rightGmail
4. Calendar—Calendar on steroidsGCalendar
5. Page Creator—Web-page creator
6. Notebook—Collect all your web “stuff” into one place
7. Desktop—Local search, including network drives
8. Picasa—Photo software + web photosPicasa
9. Blogger—Free blogging software
10. Groups—Water cooler gathering placeGGroups
11. Web Alerts—See what’s said about your company on the web
12. Reader—Bring the web to youGReader
13. Maps—Find an address and get directions
14. Chat—Real-time communication
The more you look at the features of this new breed of online software applications, the more you see the value. They are very robust and combined with other packages, make up a comprehensive collection of business software. The best part … the cost. All of these Google applications are free to use, even for a company.
I use many of these daily, and find them more than adequate for business use. The newest application I use is Google Alerts. I have set up searches for my name, company, and product lines. Google scours the Internet, gathers every instance of matching criteria and sends me an email with links and brief descriptions of the articles. This keeps me in touch with what is said about me or the company, allowing me to respond or ignore at my discretion.
Are you starting to feel overwhelmed with the choices out there, just waiting for your company to try? First, determine what company processes can benefit from the advantages of online software. Second, run a limited, controlled test with the application to make sure it is capable of doing the job. Third, put together an implementation plan for bringing the application to the rest of the employees.
Next, I’ll show you how the products from Zoho and Google map to your current products. It will give you a better picture of which applications you want to look at first.

not too much going on.
hello all.
sincere apologies for not posting in a while, but my internet is on the fritz at the apartment. i'm at work right now - it's been pretty slow lately since the development process is over for the spring 1 line. this is very exciting news because it means that MY work will begin. when i say 'my', i mean, my designs and interpretations of the direction that fossil is moving on the "modern-vintage continuum". i won't be developing things that other people came up with anymore. fun fun.
i seriously can't believe i get paid for this. it absolutely does not feel like work.
and now for a little section i'd like to call: Finding the Drama in Every Perfectly Great Situation.
I got my dream job right out of college. most people's first jobs are low down on the totem pole and they pay their dues to get to where they want to go. they have goals for their job, and entire years where they just work towards to the next promotion.
i am perfectly happy where i am. sure, there is room for promotions & raises within my actual position - but that's just going to come with time. i'm not working hard to "get noticed" so that the boss can save me from 40 hours a week of grunt work. i don't dread coming to my cubie, in fact, i love it.
here's the drama: it is hard to transition from the life of working towards something to a life of just working. period. i can't make time go faster. no matter how hard i work, i won't get my first raise until a year has passed. the things i am looking forward to are not things that you can control: marriage, babies, domestic bliss, etc. i'm just waiting it out - which is funny, because isn't that what we're doing here on earth anyway? just living as faithfully as we can until Jesus picks us up?
on a lighter note, my mom and i got some new makeup this weekend - the bare escentuals collection. it's SO me. very natural. you can sleep in it - which is good because i ALWAYS sleep in my makeup. bad, i know, but i'm just lazy. i'm still learning because i have no clue how to apply eye makeup - but the good thing is i have a DVD and booklet ;)
this makeup line is on Laura's highly recommended list.

How to fix a Cracked iPod Touch Screen
How to fix a Cracked iPod Touch Screen
The iPod Touch contains two screens: the outer glass protective screen, and the actual touch screen (also called the digitiser). The steps below explain how to replace both, depending on which is broken.
Step One
Replacing the LCD Digitizer - Carefully remove the chrome backing of your iPod with your iPod opening tools (or a Flathead screwdriver). Do this by sliding the tool between the gap of the chrome backing and the front faceplate. After working your way steadily around the iPod, the back will pop off.
Step Two
Place your iPod face down on a table or other surface. You now need to remove the rechargeable battery. Do so by carefully prying it upward. It is glued to the iPod so it'll take some effort to remove it.
Step Three
Remove the logic board. It is attached to the battery and is secured with 4 screws. Keep the screws safely nearby.
Step Four
Take out the liquid crystal display (LCD) digitizer. The digitizer is held in place by 16 tiny screws. Keep the screws in a safe place. If applicable, replace the broken digitizer with a new one. Do this by unplugging your broken LCD screen carefully (you can see the black plug in the image), then plug in your new LCD screen.
Step Five
Put your iPod back together by reversing these steps. If you are replacing your outer protective screen proceed to the next step.
Step Six
Replacing the Faceplate - Now that your detached faceplate is ready to be repaired, remove the square 'home' button and set aside.
Step Seven
Lay the faceplate face up and heat with a hairdryer. The adhesive holding the screen to the faceplate needs to be heated to separate the two. Remove and discard the cracked screen.
Step Eight
Now replace your 'home' button and lay your replacement screen over your faceplate. Heat the faceplate with your hairdryer to allow the adhesive to bond with the screen.
Step Nine
Let your screen cool down and make sure that it has adhered to the faceplate completely.
Step Ten
Put your iPod back together carefully by reversing these steps.

A minefield of obstacles
12. Februar 2018, 1000 Zeichen
The solitude of writing is a solitude without which writing could not be produced. At the same time you are never alone during the process of writing, you are always visited by ghosts. You are seduced by the sound of words written by [un]dead authors and by the interaction of their voices in your head. Each of these voices contains a minefield of obstacles that function as potential barriers to achieving your next sentence. You can not proceed if you are not angry. Writing is a cerebral journey where you mold this experience into useful thought capsules and carefully interact with these residents of your delirious spirit house. To revel in writing is not only precarious, it is much worse: it is praecox. It never comes at the right time. You can not count on writing to be there just because you have made some space for it. Do not think about the writing process too much. Just do one thing: let the words become that blatant person who shows father politics their butt.

Originally posted to 13.7 Cosmos & Culture on 2/19/2014
In last week's New Yorkeressayist and critic Adam Gopnik reviewed Peter Watson's The Age of Atheists: How We Have Sought to Live Since the Death of God, a book that — starting with Nietzsche's pronouncement that God is dead — visits most of the famous atheists of the 20th century. Gopnik's review attracted immediate attention, being rebuked by atheists (e.g., University of Chicago biologist Jerry Coyne) and faithful alike (e.g., Ross Douthat in The New York Times).
The rebukes are not surprising; unless you are preaching to the choir, people will disagree on matters of faith. Coyne rebukes Gopnik for not understanding modern atheism enough and Douthat rebukes Gopnik for not understanding modern faith enough.
Both Coyne and Douthat have a point, as their critiques stem from the ways in which Gopnik attempts to diminish both camps: the atheists being less atheist than they think and the faithful being forced to redefine their faith in the light of science. Gopnik's strategy, even if well-intended and beautifully articulated, is bound to fail: to bring the two camps closer we don't diminish their claims; we show how their roots have surprising intersections.
Gopnik identifies three periods where atheism had a clear ascension: during the 18th century, right before the French Revolution; during the early 20th century, right before the Russian Revolution; and now. Clearly, the expectation is that we are bound to some sort of revolution. What could it be?
Following Watson, Gopnik writes that we are "divided not so much between the believers and non- as between what might be called Super-Naturalists, who believe that a material account of existence is inadequate to our numinous-seeming experience, and the Self-Makers, who are prepared to let the human mind take credit even for the most shimmering bits of life."
So, the divide is between those who believe in supernatural forces and those who don't.
Gopnik goes on to make his point: "What's easily missed in all this is something more important: the clandestine convergence between Super-Naturalists and Self-Makers." He then brings in arguments to dilute both: a God that is so transcendent and distant as to be safely far from the grips of science; the unavoidability of questions beyond the purview of science.
Discounting those who sustain a literal belief in the Bible, the Koran, Shintoist rituals and countless other religious texts and practices across the world (which makes you wonder what God we are talking about, anyway), modern Super-Naturalists believe in something beyond matter, even if not directly labeled as a deity; they celebrate mystery and complexity, the existence of things beyond our comprehension or a purely rational description of reality.
The Super-Naturalists respond to the indescribable emotion of the human experience.
On the other hand, Gopnik argues that the Self-Makers also experience something like faith. They have some kind of spiritual life, be it the adoption of secret rituals, or furtive visits to church during Christmas. (No wonder Coyne was upset.) Gopnik could, instead, have said tat the Self-Makers search for some kind of transcendence in diverse activities, from meditation to running trails to surfing big waves to climbing mountains to reading metaphysical poetry or Thoreau and Muir.
The Self-Makers respond to the indescribable emotion of the human experience.
It seems to me that the convergence is not in the details of either group's practice, but in the inevitability of the mystery we all face. It is no accident that Richard Dawkins, the high priest of the New Atheism, called his book for the young The Magic of Reality and his autobiography An Appetite for Wonder. Or that Sam Harris is writing a book where he attempts to reconcile atheism with his own definition of spirituality; or that Christopher Hitchens would use words like "numinous" and "transcendent" when deeply moved by some experience, including the Hubble Deep Field catalog. (How right he was!)
Magic, wonder, spirituality, numinous, transcendent: What makes us human is precisely our deep-seated attraction to the unknown, that on-going seduction with the mysterious that moves us and inspires our creativity, be it artistic or scientific. Unless you are emotionally dead, you will respond to it, even if in different degrees and through different mechanisms.
It is the thrill of proving a theorem in logic, witnessing a total eclipse of the sun or walking on sacred ground. It's that unsettling feeling that we are barely scratching the surface of reality — that even though we see so much, we see so little. This sense of awe lives in everyone.
If there is a point of convergence between the Super-Naturalists and the Self-Makers it is to be found in the very root of our humanity, entangled as it is with the all-encompassing sense of the mysterious.

Tips to Protecting Your Neighbors’ Property Values:
She Said: Here are some rules we all learned in Kindergarten:
1. No bad-mouthing your city
2. No complaining about your neighborhood
3. No criticizing what improvements your neighbors are making
4. No complaining about the “types” of neighbors you have…or their dogs…or their kids
He Said: How about we focus on the positives!!!
1. When a property in your neighborhood is for sale, talk it up! Spread the word about a home for sale and get your friends and family to consider moving in!
2. When people who don’t belong are hanging around, call the authorities! Lots of crimes are stunted because neighbors are watching.
3. Shop and spend your money locally to support neighborhood businesses (which in turn support the services we all need, i.e. police and fire, street maintenance, etc.)
Any other ideas out there?

Munchausen syndrome
(redirected from Munchausen’s Sickness)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
Munchausen Syndrome
Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric disorder that causes an individual to self-inflict injury or illness or to fabricate symptoms of physical or mental illness, in order to receive medical care or hospitalization. In a variation of the disorder, Munchausen by proxy (MSBP), an individual, typically a mother, intentionally causes or fabricates illness in a child or other person under her care.
Munchausen syndrome takes its name from Baron Karl Friederich von Munchausen, an 18th century German military man known for his tall tales. The disorder first appeared in psychiatric literature in the early 1950s when it was used to describe patients who sought hospitalization by inventing symptoms and complicated medical histories, and/or inducing illness and injury in themselves. Categorized as a factitious disorder (a disorder in which the physical or psychological symptoms are under voluntary control), Munchausen's syndrome seems to be motivated by a need to assume the role of a patient. Unlike malingering, there does not seem to be any clear secondary gain (e.g., money) in Munchausen syndrome.
Individuals with Munchausen by proxy syndrome use their child (or another dependent person) to fulfill their need to step into the patient role. The disorder most commonly victimizes children from birth to 8 years old. Parents with MSBP may only exaggerate or fabricate their child's symptoms, or they may deliberately induce symptoms through various methods, including poisoning, suffocation, starvation, or infecting the child's bloodstream.
Causes and symptoms
The exact cause of Munchausen syndrome is unknown. It has been theorized that Munchausen patients are motivated by a desire to be cared for, a need for attention, dependency, an ambivalence toward doctors, or a need to suffer. Factors that may predispose an individual to Munchausen's include a serious illness in childhood or an existing personality disorder.
The Munchausen patient presents a wide array of physical or psychiatric symptoms, usually limited only by their medical knowledge. Many Munchausen patients are very familiar with medical terminology and symptoms. Some common complaints include fevers, rashes, abscesses, bleeding, and vomiting. Common Munchausen by proxy symptoms include apnea (cessation of breathing), fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. In both Munchausen and MSBP syndromes, the suspected illness does not respond to a normal course of treatment. Patients or parents may push for invasive diagnostic procedures and display an extraordinary depth of knowledge of medical procedures.
Because Munchausen sufferers often go from doctor to doctor, gaining admission into many hospitals along the way, diagnosis can be difficult. They are typically detected rather than diagnosed. During a course of treatment, they may be discovered by a hospital employee who encountered them during a previous hospitalization. Their caregivers may also notice that symptoms such as high fever occur only when the patient is left unattended. Occasionally, unprescribed medication used to induce symptoms is found with the patient's belongings. When the patient is confronted, they often react with outrage and check out of the hospital to seek treatment at another facility with a new caregiver.
There is no clearly effective treatment for Munchausen syndrome. Extensive psychotherapy may be helpful with some Munchausen patients. If Munchausen syndrome co-exists with other mental disorders, such as a personality disorder, the underlying disorder is typically treated first.
Key terms
Apnea — A cessation of breathing.
Factitious disorder — A disorder in which the physical or psychological symptoms are under voluntary control.
The infections and injuries Munchausen patients self-inflict can cause serious illness. Patients often undergo countless unnecessary surgeries throughout their lifetimes. In addition, because of their frequent hospitalizations, they have difficulty holding down a job. Further, their chronic health complaints may damage interpersonal relationships with family and friends. Children victimized by sufferers of MSBP are at a real risk for serious injury and possible death. Those who survive physically unscathed may suffer developmental problems later in life.

Monstrous Movie Music artworkMONSTROUS MOVIE MUSIC” contains a 27-minute suite from one of the greatest giant monster movies, Warner Brothers THEM! Bronislau Kaper's landmark 1954 score ranks among the composer's greatest works, full of suspense, mystery, and thrills. As if the sixteen cues that recapture the film’s drama aren't enough, also included as a bonus is Kaper's “Ant Fugue,” a brilliant composition that was completely dropped from the released version of Them! The perfect musical accompaniment for your next picnic, this fabulous giant ant score will have you crawling with excitement! Music Restorer Kathleen Mayne at Warner Brothers Music Library, pointing to scores from THEM
Adding to the ‘50s excitement is the inclusion of that unique electronic instrument, the Theremin, whose “ooo -wooo-ooo” characterizes the mysterious aliens who have landed on Earth. And unlike other record labels who try to simulate Theremin sounds by fiddling with their synthesizers or having women make high-pitched sounds, the hard-working folks at Monstrous Movie Music proudly present a real Theremin! And as yet another bonus, you'll also hear the cues without the Theremin added to the mix, since this was how the music was originally recorded on Universal's scoring stage over 45 years ago! IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE’s out-of-this-world score continues to influence after all these years!Mole People magazine
Also included on the CD are three cues from Universal-International's silly-but-beloved THE MOLE PEOPLE, a 1956 movie about burrowing critters from a long-lost civilization. The next time you’re in the mood to watch a picture about underground Sumerian albinos, this film should be right at the top of your list! The music by Herman Stein and Heinz Roemheld perfectly sets the tone for The Mole People, with the “Main Title” being one of the most electrifying of its type. Herman Stein relaxing in his Sunday best
Finally, “MONSTROUS MOVIE MUSIC” includes a 9-minute suite from Columbia’s 1955 giant octopus flick, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, featuring Ray Harryhausen’s astonishing special effects. The music by Mischa Bakaleinkoff includes cues written specifically for the picture, as well as ones originally composed for Wyoming Renegades and Women's Prison that were re-used in Ray's stop-motion spectacular. The explosive music for IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA was subsequently re-used in Harryhausen's Earth vs. The Flying Saucers and 20 Million Miles To Earth, as well as in other Columbia films like The Giant Claw and the Three Stooges’ Have Rocket, Will Travel. It’s music sure to bring out the Moe, Larry, and Joe DeRita in you!
The liner book text includes timings that match the digital read-out on your CD player -- so you can follow along with the music while you read. You’ll become a monstrous movie music expert in less time than it takes a colossal insect to crush a car!

Quotes on Mysteries of God
By the power of the Holy Ghost we may know the truth of all things (see Moro. 10:5). By his power we may have the mysteries of God unfolded to us (see 1 Ne. 10:19), all things which are expedient (see D&C 18:18D&C 39:6). The Holy Ghost shows us what we should do (see 2 Ne. 32:5). Elder Dallin H. Oaks, “Always Have His Spirit,” General Conference, October 1996
Mysteries of God are spiritual truths known only by revelation. God reveals his mysteries to those who are obedient to the gospel. Some of God’s mysteries are yet to be revealed.The Guide to the Scriptures, “Mysteries of God,” LDS.org
There is one principle that I wish the people would understand and lay to heart. Just as fast as you will prove before your God that you are worthy to receive the mysteries, if you please to call them so, of the Kingdom of heaven – that you are full of confidence in God – that you will never betray a thing that God tells you – that you will never reveal to your neighbor that which ought not to be revealed, as quick as you prepare to be entrusted with the things of God, there is an eternity of them to bestow upon you. Instead of pleading with the Lord to bestow more upon you, plead with yourselves to have confidence in yourselves, to have integrity in yourselves, and know when to speak and what to speak, what to reveal, and how to carry yourselves and walk before the Lord. And just as fast as you prove to him that you will preserve everything secret that ought to be – that you will deal out to your neighbors all which you ought, and no more, and learn how to dispense your knowledge to your families, friends, neighbors, and brethren, the Lord will bestow upon you, and give to you, and bestow upon you, until finally he will say to you, “you shall never fall; your salvation is sealed unto you; you are sealed up unto eternal life and salvation, through your integrity. Discourses of Brigham Young, 4:371.

Our Sweet Story
Visions of sugar plum fairies have been dancing in the Sugar Shack founder, Suzi Tinsley's head since she was a little girl. What better way to share her love for everything sweet then to open the ultimate candy store in her home town of Menlo Park, California.
Sugar Shack is not just about offering every kind of candy imaginable. It's about the magic you feel when you step through the door. Sugar Shack's unique, custom designed interior resembles a real ginger bread house with a contemporary twist.
Remember that verse: "The candy man can 'cause he sprinkles if with love and makes the world taste good"...Well, Sugar Shack is committed to making people feel good, and it's not just the candy. At the center of Sugar Shack's core values is customer service. Like the good 'ol days of full service gas stations, polite clerks and the customer always being right, Sugar Shack is built on the traditional values of honest hard work and customer service. You'll hear the staff ask you "how are you" and really wait to hear your answer! Feel free to sample something before you try it, and if we don't have the candy you're looking for, let us know and we'll order it for you!
Sugar Shack was also created to inspire sweet celebrations. Every event in life is better with a little sugar sprinkled on top. From party favors to entire private parties, Sugar Shack is as much a candy store as it is a special events headquarters.
The idea was a life-time in the making: a candy store with old fashioned, quality customer service, an enormous selection of sweets and an ambiance to inspire sweet celebrations.

Milk and Cookies
on 23 March 2012
I've been working on perfecting the chocolate chip cookie for nearly a decade. The problem has been that Chris and I are looking for a texture that's almost impossible to achieve, crispy-chewy on the outside and soft-chewy in the center.
But I've done it. I've perfected the Chocolate Chip cookie. And the Boy agrees.
(You know how, that first year with a baby they grow and change so fast you almost can't keep up with them? But then after their first birthday it seems to slow down and you can catch your breath. And then, well, then it seems like you go to bed at night with one child and you wake up in the morning to a totally different child. The Boy is changing so fast now. He's losing the last traces of my Golden Baby and becoming a full fledged, dirt loving, gangled Big Boy. I've known it was inevitable, but it still hurts my heart a little bit. It seems I am always being left behind...)

The AVRPi-32U4 is an Atmel ATmega32U4 add on board for the Raspberry Pi A+, B+ and 2B. It runs on 3.3V at 8 MHz.
The ATmega32U4 is programmable as a USB device. This is useful if you want a USB HID device that can be controlled by the Raspberry Pi or yourself such as a keyboard, joystick, mouse, midi, audio or virtual serial device.
All software is easy installable navigating a simple menu. Choose 'install everything in 1 easy step', and 'burn fuses for your board'. That's all it takes to get you started.
The ATmega32U4 can be programmed in the Arduino IDE, but also using the Arduino library and a Makefile, or straight C or assembly. All software that is used on the Pi and the ATmega32U4 is open source with the source code provided.
Using the LUFA library is recommended for the AVRPi32u4, but the Arduino library works great as well. Either in the IDE or using Arduino-Makefile in your favourite text-editor.
AVRPi boards use the latest avrdude-6.1 with the built-in linuxgpio interface.
To use the AVRPi-32u4 board standalone, upload the Caterina or DFU bootloader and connect a PC or laptop with a USB cable to program the chip.
The repository with all installation scripts is here: https://github.com/onandoffables/avrpi-tools.
Basic instructions:
git clone https://github.com/onandoffables/avrpi-tools
cd avrpi-tools
Frequently asked questions
So... this is an Arduino?
No. It's an ATmega328p and ATmega32U4 addon/breakout board. That's the same chip as used on the Arduino Uno or Leonardo so it's perfectly capable of running firmware that's compiled against the Arduino libraries. All boards that have these chips can do this. The AVRPi boards are no exception.
But I can use the Arduino IDE?
Yes. If you really must. It works out of the box, but there's a saying "friends don't let friends use the Arduino IDE". People say that for a reason.
The Arduino library itself is pretty useful though. Try the 'Arduino Makefile' project. It uses the same Arduino source code to compile the libraries, but you can use your favorite text editor and a very simple Makefile. Type 'make ispload' to compile and upload your firmware.
Why not run it full speed on 5V?
Most modern sensors and chips you'll want to attach to the ATmega328 or ATmega32U4 are probably 3.3V. Having everything (including the GPIO pins of the Pi) run on 3.3V will save you a lot of headaches. Some older sensors and chips that still want 5V are sometimes also happy enough with 3.3V. If they don't, you'll only have a headache in those specific situations in stead of having voltage level conversion going on most of the time.
The 'slower' speed is a trade-off for convenience or precision. If you want speed and precision, have look at the ARMinARM board on this website.
I can choose other boards in the software. What's up with that?
All boards for the Raspberry Pi that use Gordon Henderson's 'gpio' avrdude-5.10, can use avrdude-6.1 with the 'linuxgpio' programmer. They use the same pins, so it was trivial to add them to Arduino's 'boards.txt' file.
That means if you have a Gertboard, Gertduino[*], RasPiO duino or you soldered something up yourself you can also use this software setup. Yay for choice!
[*] Gertduino needs extra scripts to handle the reset pin.
What are the advantages ATmega32U4 over ATmega328p?
The ATmega32U4 can act as a USB device. This is useful if you want a USB HID device that can be controlled by the Raspberry Pi or yourself such as a keyboard, joystick, mouse, midi, audio or virtual serial device. That means you can interface USB host devices with your Raspberry Pi. Or if you're just building an arcade cabinet with a Raspberry Pi, that you can also connect to your game PC and only use the buttons and joystick.
The 32U4 doesn't share I2C and SPI with 'standard' Arduino pins like the 328 does. You can use Arduino digital pins 0-13 and analog pins A0-A5 without your I2C or SPI (and programming) interface messing things up.
The Arduino library adds a USB CDC device to every sketch. The 'Serial' class now uses this new USB serial port. Connect to it on '/dev/ttyACM0' (with a USB cable to either the Raspberry Pi or a laptop / PC). If you want to use the Raspberry Pi serial pins as on the ATmega328p and connect to '/dev/ttyAMA0', then use the 'Serial1' class. You can also use both of course.
To use the AVRPi-32u4 board standalone, you can upload the 'Caterina' or 'Atmel DFU' bootloader from the setup menu and use any PC or laptop to program the chip.

OO-RAH Articles
o-rah motivators. This is the extremely motivated Tony Haynes and it's another fine day here at Semper fitness. Last issue we started on the nutrition aspect of physical fitness. I cannot stress enough the importance of nutrition in the persuit of physical fitness. This issue we'll discuss the energy nutrients more in detail and we'll talk about contemporary fad diets. Let's jump on the bandwagon and get to cruisin'.
Last issue we told you that protein builds and repairs body tissue and was a major component of enzymes, hormones and antibodies. Let's expound on that. Protein is essential for growth and development. It provides the body with energy, and is needed for the manufacture of hormones, antibodies, enzymes, and tissues. When protein is consumed, the body breaks it down into amino acids (the building blocks of all proteins). Some amino acids the body can make for itself, while others we can only get from our dietary intake (food we eat). When the body makes protein (for example, building muscle), it needs a variety of amino acids for the protein-making process. If a shortage of amino acids becomes chronic, the building of protein in the body stops, and the body suffers.
You have two types of proteins -- determined by the amino acids they provide. Complete proteins contain ample amounts of all of the essential amino acids. These proteins are found in meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, and milk. Incomplete proteins, contain only some of the essential amino acids. These proteins are found in a variety of foods, including grains, legumes, and leafy green vegetables. This does not mean that you can only get a complete supply of essential amino acids from protein sources like meat, fish, poultry and other complete-protein foods. This is of concern due to the high fat content that may be associated with some of the complete-protein foods. Fortunately, the dietary strategy called mutual supplementation enables you to combine partial protein foods to make complementary protein (to supply adequate amounts of all the essential aminos). For example, although beans and brown rice are both quite rich in protein, each lacks one or more of the necessary amino acids. However, combined they become complete protein rich foods sources.As a matter of fact if you combine beans with any of the following they become a complete protein rich food source:
Brown rice
Or combine brown rice with;
A better list of the proteins that can be combined to obtain complete protein follows.
GRAINS: barley, bulgur, cornmeal, oats, rice, whole-grain breads, pasta.
LEGUMES: dried beans, dried lentils, dried peas, peanuts, soy products.
SEEDS and NUTS: sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, cashews other nuts, nut butters.
VEGETABLES: leafy greens, broccoli.
Furthermore, all soybean products, such as tofu and soymilk are complete proteins. Yogurt is one of the few animal-derived complete-protein recommended for frequent use in the diet by health advocates. Now that we have a good idea of proteins, let's move on to carbohydrates (carbs), which have gotten an undeserved bad rap as of late.
Carbohydrates supply the body with the energy it needs to function. Carbs come in two basic forms: simple and complex. Simple carbs are one, two, or at the most three units of sugar linked together. While, complex carbs are hundreds or thousands of sugar units linked together in single molecules. Simple Carbs (sugars) can be identified by their taste (sweet). Also, they disolve or dilute easier in water. Examples of simple carbs are fruits, table sugar, juices, etc. there are two groups of complex carbs: High fiber and low fiber. High-fiber, complex carbs are not digestible, at least not by human beings, because we do not have the enzyme to do the job. That's why when we eat something high-fiber, it goes right through us, if you know what I mean. The main stuff in high-fiber, complex carbs that is indigestible by humans is called "cellulose." High-fiber vegetable foods are the healthiest choices for human nutrition, and intake of these foods is associated with lowered incidences of hypertension, colon cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc. Examples include lettuce and broccoli. Examples of low-fiber, complex carbs are banana, tomato, squah and all cereals and grains (bread, pasta), potatoes and rice.
Simple sugars and low-fiber, complex carbs present a threat to health when they are consumed in anappropriate amounts such as may occur in low-soy, vegetarian diets, where they are being eaten to replace the calories which would ordinarily come from protein. Also, processing of plant food strips away its fiber and/or vitamin content. A very simple example of this is cutting an orange in half and pressing the juice into a glass while discarding the fiber part of the orange. While it is true that fiber is an important part of our diet, even necessary to protect you from some diseases, carbs themselves are not necessary. There are "essential" fatty acids and "essential" amino acids (from protein), however, there are no known "essential" carbs.
Remember, Carbs are the main source of blood glucose, which is a major fuel for all of the body's cells and the only source of energy for the brain and red blood cells. Except for fiber, which cannot be digested, both simple and complex carbs are converted into glucose. the glucose is then either used directly to provide energy for the body, or stored in the liver for future use. However, when a person consumes more calories than the body is using (i.e. metabolism, exercise), carbs may also be stored in the body as fat. When choosing carbs for you diet, select unrefined foods such as fruits, vegetable, peas, beans, and whole-grain products, as opposed to refined, processed foods such as soft drinks, desserts, candy, and sugar.
It should be noted that fiber, although not digestable, delivers a few extra health benefits like binding with certain cubstances that would normally result in the production of cholesterol. We will discuss fat in the next issue. Let's talk about some of the fad diets.
The High protein diet:
This diets tells a person to restrict the amount of carbohydrates they eat and to increase the amount of protein and fat that you eat. The reason behind carbohydrate restriction is that carbs, when eaten, cause a subsequent spike in insulin(a hormone used in regulating blood sugar) levels. This spike in insulin supposedly causing many of the damaging health concerns like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc. Although many of the facts surrounding this particular diet are true, we must understand that it is unhealthy for us to consume only two of the three energy nutrients for any prolonged period of time. Also, it must be understood that many of the high protein foods may be extremely high in saturated fat. This would pose other health concerns. A high protein, extremely low carb diet would rob us of many of the vitamins and minerals associated with carbohydrates. We would also lose many of our sources of fiber.
The bottom line is that a balanced diet is the best diet. Fad diets only work temporarily. No diet should deprive you of the foods you enjoy. After all, food was meant to be enjoyed by all. If you eat many of the foods you like in moderation, it won't kill you, literally.
Now that you understand protein and carbohydrates better, we have to talk about the black sheep of the energy nutrients, FAT. Next issue we'll discuss fat and we'll do a breakdown of how much of each one of the energy nutrients you need in your balanced diet. On your road to physical fitness, stay pumped, stay motivated and OO-RAH!

Enumerating available devices in UWP
In my previous post (Displaying the device picker in a UWP application) I showed how to reuse the UWP device picker flyout within an application.
However, it’s possible that the developer would prefer to offer devices in some alternate UI or, of course, simply locate a known device for an application to use. In the previous post I looked at filtering for Bluetooth devices and those are what I’m after for a little application I’m writing in which I do not require the DevicePicker UI.
Before I get into code to enumerate the devices, I’ll first expand on the lines of code from my previous post, that look like this
Each of the lines like this one actually returns a string which is an Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) language query. So for example this line will produce the following string (formatted to make it more readable)
System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND
System.Devices.Aep.ProtocolId:=\"{E0CBF06C-CD8B-4647-BB8A-263B43F0F974}\" AND
(System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired:=System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#False OR
For completeness, here’s the results of each of the other GetDeviceSelectorFromPairingState calls
System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND
System.Devices.Aep.ProtocolId:=\"{BB7BB05E-5972-42B5-94FC-76EAA7084D49}\" AND
(System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired:=System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#False OR
System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND
(System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired:=System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#True OR
System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND
(System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired:=System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#True OR
Hence we could now create our own AQS query to search for devices.
See Using Advanced Query Syntax Programmatically for more information on AQS.
Enumerating over devices (simple approach)
A simple approach to enumerating over all the available devices is to use the DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync() method, which is async/await compatible, hence we simply use it like this
var devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync();
// output all devices
foreach (var device in devices)
Obviously this is a little over the top if we’re looking for a specific device or set of devices. In such cases we can create an AQS query and pass this into one of the FindAllAsync overloads. Hence to recreate my previous post’s query looking for all Bluetooth devices we might prefer to use
var devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(
Whilst this solution to the problem of locating devices may fulfil many of the developer’s requirements, an area it fails on is that once the developer has a list of devices they do not have a way to tell when devices are turned off/disabled/or otherwise no longer available. In such situations it’s better to watch for device changes.
Watching for device changes
The DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher method allows the developer to query for devices and via events, watch for items to be added, updated or removed. This would suit an RX type of implementation.
Here’s some code that demonstrates possible usage of the CreateWatcher
deviceWatcher = DeviceInformation.CreateWatcher(
deviceWatcher.Added += (watcher, args) =>
Debug.WriteLine($"Added {args.Name}");
deviceWatcher.Updated += (watcher, args) =>
Debug.WriteLine($"Updated {args.Id}");
deviceWatcher.Removed += (watcher, args) =>
Debug.WriteLine($"Removed {args.Id}");
deviceWatcher.EnumerationCompleted += (watcher, args) =>
Debug.WriteLine("No more devices found");
catch (ArgumentException ex)
Again we’re using the AQS created via the GetDeviceSelectoryFromPairingState method and in this simplistic example, we simply subscribe to the Added/Updated/Removed and EnumerationCompleted events to output what devices have been added etc. We also need to be aware of possible ArgumentExceptions, such as incorrectly formatted GUID’s etc. See DeviceInformation Class for a more complete example of this usage.
Displaying the device picker in a UWP application
Developers can use the UWP device picker flyout control within their application to allow the user to select a device from a list of available devices. The list can be filtered to display only particular types of devices.
For example, here’s how to display the DevicePicker flyout without filtering, i.e. showing all available devices
var devicePicker = new DevicePicker();
devicePicker.Show(new Rect(x, y, width, height));
In this case we simply create a DevicePicker and call the Show method which is passed a rectangle where you want the picker to flyout from.
There’s an overload Show method which allows a placement as well.
If you run this code in your application you’ll find that devices are enumerated over and displayed as they are found, so obviously this may take a little bit of time to enumerate all devices.
In most cases we probably want to filter the DevicePicker for a certain type of device. For example if we want to locate all Bluetooth devices we would use the following
var devicePicker = new DevicePicker();
In this case we’ve filtered the DevicePicker so it will only display BluetoothLE devices and Bluetooth devices both in a paired (the true parameter) or unpaired (the false parameter).
Obviously we’re going to want to get at the device information or the selected device, when using the Show method, we will need to subscribe to the DevicePicker’s DeviceSelected event, for example
devicePicker.DeviceSelected += (picker, args) =>
// outputs the selected device name
We can also respond to a couple of other events such as the DevicePickerDismissed and DisconnectButtonClicked.
As an alternate to the event approach, we could switch from using the Show method to use the async/await implementation which combines the Show and the DeviceSelected into he PickSingleDeviceAsync method, i.e.
var device = await
// outputs the selected device name
IValueConverter.Convert return values
I was updating some value converters in my converters GitHub repos. PutridParrot.Presentation.Converters and realised I had been returning a null in situations where I really should have been returning DependencyProperty.UnsetValue.
Generally we’ll either return a valid value from a converter or one of the following
• null
• DependencyProperty.UnsetValue
• Binding.DoNothing
• The original value
The documentation (see References) states that when a null is returned then a “valid null value is used”.
However we may actually prefer that the FallbackValue is used (if supplied) instead, hence we can return a DependencyProperty.UnsetValue.
In cases where we neither want a value returned and do not want the FallbackValue to be called, then we return the Binding.DoNothing.
Obviously, in situations where you do not know what to do with a binding value, it might be better to simply return the value passed into the Convert method.

Creating a Prism.DryIoc.Forms application from scratch
I must have created my last Prism.DryIoc.Forms application using a project template but this time created a standard Xamarin.Forms application and then realised I wanted/meant to use DryIoc.
So here’s the steps to turn my “standard” Xamarin.Forms application into a Prism.DryIoc.Forms application.
• Add the Prism.DryIoc.Forms nuget package to your application
• Delete the MainPage.xaml files generated by Xamarin.Forms
• Change the App.xaml to use PrismApplication i.e.
• Change the App.xaml.cs to derive from PrismApplication, for example
public partial class App : PrismApplication
• Remove/replace the App constructor with the following
public App() :
this(null) { }
public App(IPlatformInitializer initializer) :
base(initializer) { }
• Now override the OnInitialized method and put the IntitializeComponent call within this, i.e.
protected override async void OnInitialized()
• Add folders to the solution named ViewModels and Views
• Within the Views folder add a MainPage.xaml Xamarin.Forms ContentPage (or page type as required)
• To register our MainPage and the NavigationPage go back to the App.xaml.cs and add the following method
protected override void RegisterTypes(IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
• Finally, in the App.xaml.cs within the OnIntialized method we’ll navigate to the new page. As the NavigateAsync returns a Task, we can await it so we’ll add async to the OnInitialized method – here’s what that will look like
protected override async void OnInitialized()
await NavigationService.NavigateAsync("NavigationPage/MainPage");
Now place any further page’s within the Views folder and add to the RegisterTypes method (if required) and add any view models to the ViewModels folder deriving from BindableBase (if you want to use the Prism MVVM base class).
pre-commit hooks in git
I’ve covered Creating a pre-commit hook for TortoiseSvn previously for SVN. We can create similar hooks for GIT also.
Either create a script or other form of executable (this one’s a C# console application). This example is going to do nothing of real interest. It’ll simply stop commits to a repo. but is useful if we place a Debugger.Break before the Console line, for debugging purposes
static int Main(string[] args)
Console.Error.WriteLine("No commits allowed");
return 1;
A non-zero return value indicates a failure and hence this code will effectively stop any commits to the repository it’s applied to.
The arguments sent to the method will be as follows
* 1st arg is the file name of a file which contains a list of files that have changed
* 2nd arg is the file name of a file which has the commit message
* 3rd arg is the folder being committed
Now we compile our application and place it in the .git\hooks\ folder and we need to name it pre-commit.exe.
That’s all there is to it.
Singletons using C# 6 syntax
A while back I wrote the post The Singleton Pattern in C# and just thought it’d be nice to use C# 6 syntax to update this post.
So here’s the code with the change for to use default property syntax
public sealed class Singleton
public static Singleton Instance { get; } = new Singleton();
static Singleton() { }
private Singleton() { }
Advanced Git CLI
Having covered the “basic” commands in my previous post, I wanted to look at some of the more advanced stuff. I’m basically meaning things we probably won’t use as regularly as the previous post’s commands.
Rebasing isn’t necessarily advanced in it’s basic form but I’ve not had any real use for it so far apart from in more complicated scenarios.
Rebasing allows us to apply commits from, for example one branch, onto another branch. For example, let’s say we created a branch off of the wrong branch and so want to move commits from the incorrect branch onto the other branch.
So let’s assume we have feature/mybranch and we need to rebase it onto correct_branch, then we use
git rebase --onto correct_branch feature/mybranch
git force push
Staging parts of a file
Git allows us to stage whole files/folders as well as parts of a file. For example, maybe we’ve made several changes, but we currently only want to stage a subset of these changes. We can use
git add --patch filename
// or short form
git add --p filename
We’ll now be presented with a list of the new lines and a lot of options. Selecting ? will list what each of the options means.
We can use commands such as e to edit the patch diff file, allowing us to delete lines etc. that are to be staged.
I’ll be adding further “advanced” situations/commands and when I need them.
Using GIT from the CLI
Whilst I use GUI tools, such as the Visual Studio GIT tooling, TortoiseGit etc. I really wanted to get a good understanding on using GIT from the command line. I’ve heard it said that this is the best way to use GIT – whilst I’ll leave that to the reader to decide, let’s get to grips with common tasks etc. from the CLI.
Note: This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all commands or even all options in the commands I’ve listed. It’s more a list of commands I use often use.
Creating our repository
As you probably know, git is a distributed source control system, so we can create a repository locally (as opposed to requiring a server to host our source code). This means we can create a repository for anything we do, allowing us to commit changes/revert etc.
To create a repository, first create a folder for your files (if you’ve not already done so) then run the following command to create the repository (which will add the .git folder)
git init
This can be run against an empty folder or one with files within it. It will not delete any existing files.
If we want to create a repository that can act as a remote or shared repository we’d use
git init --bare
This remote type of repository is useful in team situations and is special in that no code changes will occur against this repository, it just acts as the PUSH location for each user’s repository.
Staging files
After we’ve add our files or folders we’ll want to stage the files/folders. This step doesn’t always exist in the UI tools (or not in a separate step), but allows us to in essence state what files/folders are to be part of the commit at the specific moment in time. Changes are not committed to the repository and hence changes can be lost. To add all files/folders we can execute
git add .
To add individual files we list each one after the other.
Once staged, we could edit our files further and these changes will not be committed until they too are staged. So think of staging as copying the state of the file/folders at a point in time, ready for committing.
We would tend to stage changes to create a change-set of files, i.e. for a feature or functionality as a single commit.
Unstaging files
To unstage, we simply use
git rm --cached -r .
We replace the . with any specific files that we want to unstage, in such situations the -r can be omitted, i.e.
git rm --cached file1.txt
To find the state of the git repository, including which files are tracked, untracked etc. can be found using
git status
Committing files
When we’re ready to commit our staged files/folders, we execute
git commit
The editor associated with git (for example vi) will be displayed if you run this command and we can now enter a message to differentiate our commit. To commit with a message (i.e. without having to open an editor) simply type
git commit -m "Your message goes here"
Obviously replacing what’s in the speech marks with the log message you want for the commit.
If we want to stage & commit (at least stage files that are already added to the repo.) we can use the -a parameter, i.e.
git commit -a -m "Your message goes here"
Commits are not associated with an incremented number, such as SVN but instead using an SHA1 string. This is a bit of a pain in some ways, especially if, like me, you use the SVN commit number as part of your versioning system, i.e. 1.0.1234 would be the commit 1234 in SVN.
Viewing the log
We can look at the log of commits (i.e. the commit it’s SHA1 and the log message) using
git log
When the : or (END) appears, press q to quit, space bar to continue when you see a :
The log command, by default, is quite verbose, we can reduce this verbosity using
git log --oneline
Which, as the parameter suggests, outputs the logs to a single line, this means only the first 7 characters for the SHA1 string and also a single line from the commit.
To view the current list of branches we use
git branch
Master is the default branch, equivalent to trunk in SVN etc. So if you’ve not yet created any branches you’ll see only master listed.
To create a new branch off of master we use
git branch branch_name
Obviously replacing branch_name with the name of your branch. Whatever branch we’re in when we create a new branch is taken from the current branch. In other words if you’re in master (usually denoted by the name master in the command prompt, if your prompt is setup) then creating a branch from this will branch master.
Checking out a branch
Switching to a branch is known as checking out a branch. So let’s assume we created a branch named rc1.0 from master, we can checkout (or switch) to this branch using
git checkout rc1.0
All of this happens on your local machine (unless you’re also linked to a remote repo.) so you can create branches cheaply and easily to work on locally. When linked to a remote repo. you can push and pull changes to that repo. to add your branches etc.
We can delete a branch using
git checkout -d rc1.0
If there are changes within the branch you’ll need to use the capitalized version of this parameter, i.e.
git checkout -D rc1.0
Tags are branches
A tag is just a branch which has a special meaning in GIT (which, if I recall is the same in SVN). All we’re really doing with a tag is creating a pointer/reference to a commit and in most cases versioning this in some way (at least conceptually).
So using
git tag -a v1.0
will result in a new tag added and named v1.0, we can list the tags by using
git tag
and delete using
git tag -d v1.0
Whether you pull changes from a remote repo. or you are simply working on multiple branches and wish to merge changes between them, you use
git merge branch_name
If there are conflicts then you’ll need to resolve those. This is where one of the diff tools that come with git GUI’s is useful, or use your preferred editor.
GIT will be in a merging state. Make your changes such as resolving conflicts etc., then stage and commit your changes.
Cherry picking the commits you want
Occasionally you’ll be in a situation where, maybe you’ve been working on a branch and somebody says, “we need feature X in master” but you’ve made other changes which you do not want merged, in such cases we look to cherry pick just the changes we want.
The first thing we’d need to do, is view the logs of what’s been committed to look for the commit SHA1 code as these are what we’ll need to tell the cherry-pick command what commits to “merge” into our branch. We do not need to switch to the branch we can run
git log branch_name
to get the log for the specified branch.
Now we run
git cherry-pick sha1_string
where the sha1_string is the commit SHA1 – you need not list the whole SHA1 but usually 4 characters, if unique, will suffice, in other words we need to use enough characters to be unique. We do not need to specify the branch as git will figure this out. Conflicts will still need to be resolved, like any merge. If no conflicts exist then the changes are auto-committed, otherwise you’ll need to add and then run
git cherry-pick --continue
Cloning a repository
When taking a copy of a repository, whether from a remote location such as GitHub or cloning a local repository we use the clone command, i.e.
git clone /c/Development/myapp
In this example I’m using git bash to clone from my c:\Development\MyApp repository into the currently selected folder.
Fetch and Pull
After we clone a repository, whether remote or local, we can fetch or pull as well as push to the other repository. This is all part of a distributed source control system.
To fetch changes from a repository we can use
git fetch
and to pull from our remote repository we use
git pull
Both fetch and pull update our local repository. However pull, in essence does a fetch then merge. So the main difference between a fetch and a pull is that a fetch will do an update (in SVN terms) but it doesn’t force you to merge the changes, whereas pull will try to merge changes and hence you may get merge conflicts. Obviously if you’re busy on some work but want to see what’s happening on a remote repo. then you’d just do a fetch.
When changes are made to a local repository and we want to push those to a remote we use
git push
This doesn’t work on our local repository unless it’s been created with the init –bare command.
Adding “remote” repositories
A remote repository, in this instance is any other repository (i.e. it doesn’t have to be in a remote location). If, for example, we created a local repository and then a “remote” using init –bare we need to tell git about the existence of this repository. To do this we use
git remote remote_name url
So for example, we might create a remote named main on our local machine if we wanted, something like this
git remote main /c/Development/mainrepo
Now we can push to the remote using it’s name, i.e.
git push main
If you want to make an upstream/remote location the default (i.e. so you no longer type the remote name) then you can set this using
git push -u remote_name
where remote name in my example is main.
If you need to check the remotes, simply use
git remote -v
Whilst working on a branch, we might need to switch to another branch or maybe we’ve made changes and want to store them for later use, but not commit. In such cases we can stash our code.
git stash push
This command will temporarily store our changes with no name/text associated with them, this is fine if the stash entry is short lived, but it might be better to assign a name or the likes to the stash entry using
git stash push -m "Your name/message"
We can “pop” the changes back into our repo. using
git stash pop
If we have multiple items stashed, we can pop specific one’s using the –index, for example
git stash pop --index 1
We can list everything in the stash using
git stash list
There are several ways we might revert something. We might want to revert our repo. to a previous version, in this case we use the checkout command with the
git checkout 39e5eec
This will result in a detached HEAD, to “rettach” just use
git checkout master
Obviously replace master with your branch name.
If we have changes staged and/or unstaged but want to revert/clear all the changes we can use
git reset --hard
We can revert a commit by using
git revert d9b66e0
Where the d9b66e0 is the SHA1 commit you wish to revert.
UWP Application’s file restrictions and logging
UWP applications have restricted access to the local file system and this can cause a few issues when using logging frameworks if you’re expecting to write logs to c:\Temp
or %Temp% locations (for example).
Your UWP application can write to the application’s installation folder, for example
var installedLocation =
another alternatively is application data location, such as
var localFolder =
// or
var localCache =
These last two location will translate to a location such as the following, where username is the (as you’d expect) username the user logged into the machine with, and the GUID is the package family name GUID (taken from the application’s manifest). This is actually an extended GUID.
Note: At the time of writing I’m not sure where the string after the underscore which follows the GUID comes from.
Let’s take a quick look at using Serilog’s File Sink to write our log files. Using NuGet install Serilog and Serilog.Sink.File and use the following code
Log.Logger = _logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
new JsonFormatter(renderMessage: true),
ApplicationData.Current.LocalCacheFolder.Path + "\\log.txt",
rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Minute)
File access permissions
OnIdiom and OnPlatform
When developing a Xamarin Forms cross platform application, we’ll have a shared library where (hopefully) the bulk of our code will go, be it C# or XAML.
However we may still need to make platform specific changes to our XAML, whether it’s images, margins, padding etc. Along with the possible differences per platform we also have the added complexity of the idiom, i.e. desktop, phone or tablet (for example) which might require differences, for example maybe we display more controls on a tablet compared to the phone.
We’re still likely to need to handle different platforms within this shared code, for example in Xamarin Forms TabbedPage we used OnPlatform like this
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="FileImageSource">
<On Platform="iOS" Value="history.png"/>
The above simply declares that on iOS the ContentPage Icon is used and is located in the file history.png.
We can handle more than just images, obviously we might look to handle different margins, fonts etc. depending upon the platform being used.
We can declare values for multiple platforms using comma separated values in the Platform attribute, for example
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="FileImageSource">
<On Platform="iOS, Android" Value="history.png"/>
<On Platform="UWP" Value="uwphistory.png"/>
OnPlatform’s Platform attribute currently supports iOS, Android, UWP, macOS, GTK, Tizen and WPF.
Ofcourse we can simply use Device.RuntimePatform in code-behind to find out what platform the application is running on if preferred.
Working in much the same was as OnPlatform. OnIdiom is used for handling different XAML or code based upon the current device is classed as a Unsupported, Phone, Tablet, Desktop, TV or Watch.
In XAML we might change the StackLayout orientation, for example
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="StackOrientation">
We can use the Idiom within code-behind by checking the state of Device.Idiom.

What should America do in Syria?
Oil painting by Ragod Rustom
What should America do in Syria?
It's been two years since Syrians rebelled against their dictator. Early on, the citizens pleaded for American arms support. They were denied.
Since then an old war has resurfaced. Fundamentalist Muslims have hijacked the war and turned it into a religious one. They have declared that it's a fight between Islam and the non-believers — the latter being Assad, who is a secularist. Having turned it into a religious war, also known as 'jihad', they enlisted thousands of militant Muslims from all over the Islamic world to come and join the fight. Sure this will work to take down Assad, but it won't work in that there is no viable replacement government in sight.
100,000 dead. Millions displaced from their homes. Millions left Syria. Why?
It's because this war has a divided front — the rebels are mainly Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims and they've been fighting for Islamic political power since the inception of Islam 1400 years ago. And they are fighting against each other again in the middle of this rebellion.
So what is best for Syria?
Well a simpler question is: What was best for Syria at the start of the uprising? That had a better chance for success than today — so it's an easier problem to consider. It's easier to see how America could have gotten involved in a helping role to take down Assad, and in a helping role to create a democracy. But this theory has holes.
I asked a Syrian about what he would prefer between the following two options:
1) What the English did which is gradual-change of government — i.e. evolution of government — from dictatorship to democracy, or
2) What the French did which is radical-change of government — i.e. revolution of government — from dictatorship to democracy.
He answered English! He'd rather have piecemeal reform instead of revolution. And the reason is that piecemeal reform means less chaos, less destruction of infrastructure and knowledge, and less bloodshed. (See Edmund Burke.)
But then I asked, what would have happened had the Syrians given up their uprising before the militant Muslims from around the world joined in? How would the Syrians make sure that Assad enacts piecemeal reform like the English were able to achieve?
He had no answer.
So I asked: Do Syrians want liberalism?
He said no.
I asked, at least some of them?
He said a tiny minority.
So then, what would happen if Assad was suddenly overthrown? There would be many sides of religious groups that each want a dictatorial Islamic state, and each group wants the seat of power. This is bad. It's just more war. The resulting leader will be the one that does the most killing of his opponents — that means the one that does the most massacres. Case in point, the Taliban committed 15 massacres from 1996 to 2001 as they ascended to power in Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion and subsequent Soviet installation of a communist dictator.
So Assad's government is better than the alternative, which is NO government at all. If Assad's regime falls, they will have devolved back to warring tribes.
And to make matters worse, most of the smart Syrians left Syria, so what are left are the dumber ones including the fanatics that have moved in from other places to join the jihad.
If Assad falls, we have another Afghanistan.
Before the Afghan civil war and subsequent Soviet invasion in 1979, Afghanistan was not that bad a place. It was kind of like Egypt and Syria.
The civil war was over modernization. Some Afghans wanted it but most didn't because they saw it as an attack on Islam.
A new prime minister, Hazifullah Amin, came to power by military coup as he exterminated the entire family of his predecessor — a common practice back then. He immediately tried to westernize Afghanistan by advocating for equal rights for women and promoting secular government — which is both a pro-liberalism and pro-communist move. He carried out a land reform — huge and sudden state-sanctioned theft from rich to give to the poor — which was resented by most Afghans. This one was an anti-liberalism/pro-communist move.
Amin instituted laws that prohibited voluntary trade involving usury (interest on money) in a situation where there was no alternative for peasants who relied on the traditional credit system in the countryside. This led to an agricultural crisis and a fall in agricultural production — another anti-liberalism/pro-communist move, which coincidentally is also a pro-Islam move.
He also changed the national flag from the traditional Islamic green color to a near-copy of the red flag of the Soviet Union, a direct provocation to the fundamentalist Muslims because communism condemns religion — another anti-liberalism/pro-communist move. His government imprisoned, tortured or murdered thousands of members of the traditional elite, the religious establishment, and the intelligentsia. This is what the French poor did during the French revolution.
The Afghan resistance forces that rose up against Amin called themselves the Mujahideen, which means the people that do jihad — jihad means holy war against those people who are against Islam. In 1979, when the Soviets believed that Afghanistan was lost to the Mujahideen, they invaded. As a result, the jihad war was now extended to the Russians who were now in Afghanistan trying to maintain the power of Amin's communist government. The Russians claimed that they had been invited in by Amin's government and that they were not invading the country. They claimed that their task was to support a legitimate government and that the Mujahdeen were no more than terrorists.
In December 1979, the Soviet Special Forces stormed the presidential palace and killed Amin and his 100 or so personal guards. The Soviets installed Babrak Karmal as Amin's successor. Kamal's position as head of the Afghan government depended on Russian military support of 85,000 soldiers to keep him in power.
The Mujahdeen proved to be a formidable opponent. They were equipped with old rifles but had a knowledge of the mountains around Kabal and the weather conditions. The Russians resorted to using napalm, poison gas, and helicopter gun ships against the Mujahdeen — but they experienced exactly the same military scenario the Americans had experienced in Vietnam.
By 1982, the Mujahdeen controlled 75% of Afghanistan despite fighting the might of the world's second most powerful military power. Young conscript Russian soldiers were no match against men fueled by their religious belief. They love death more than their opponents love life — I'm not exaggerating here, it's in the Quran. To fundamentalist Muslims, martyrdom's reward in heaven provides more encouragement than the material life of this world.
Some factions were also fueled by support from America. Analogously in Syria, the opposition, whom America is now providing arms support in Syria against Assad, are the same as the Afghan Mujahideen — they have the same philosophy of how to resolve conflicts, that is, by force.
By the end of the 1980's, the Mujahdeen were at war with themselves as each group tried to consolidate power.
In 1989, when Gorbachev realized that Russia could not win the war, they withdrew. The Soviet-backed Afghan communist regime survived for three more years, after which the Afghan political parties established the Islamic State of Afghanistan and appointed an interim government.
Immediately civil war broke out between many militias, each backed by regional powers such as Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, and Uzbekistan, each seeking influence over the centrally-located Afghanistan, and each supported and in some cases controlled one of the militias. Analogously, in the Syrian civil war, Qatar has interests in Syria as it tries to get access to a pipeline through Syria bypassing the existing Saudi-controlled pipeline, and it too is funding the Al-Qaeda-connected rebels in Syria. Iran has interests in Syria because it wants an alliance with a Shite-friendly leadership.
The Taliban, one of the groups trying to consolidate power, with the backing of Pakistan's Army, took control and established the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. They were enforced by several thousand Al-Qaeda fighters from Arab countries and Central Asia.
During the period from 1996 to 2001, the Taliban were responsible for 15 massacres on the Afghan people. This is the result of their efforts to consolidate control. This is what they know about how to resolve conflicts — violence instead of diplomacy.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the UN sanctioned intervention in Afghanistan under Operation Enduring Freedom. The purpose of this was to defeat Al-Qaeda, remove the Taliban from power and create a viable democratic state. They have not yet succeeded.
So let me break this down. America supported the Afghan rebels — which later spawned Al-Qaeda — to fight against the Soviet-installed communist dictator, expecting, I presume, that afterwards the rebels would create a democracy — or at least a capitalist-friendly secular dictatorship as has happened in many Islamic countries. Analogously, America is supporting Syrian rebels connected with Al-Qaeda against the Russian-backed dictator, expecting, I presume, that afterwards the rebels would create a democracy or at least a capitalist-friendly dictatorship.
Do you see the problem? Most Afghan people don't know the meaning of liberalism nor its relevance to governance. And neither do most Syrians. They don't know how to operate a government peacefully, which is critical for a nation to prosper. They don't have any interest in the liberal-democratic form of government because they are fundamentalist Muslims whose core religious values directly contradict liberalism. That's why Afghans rejected early attempts at modernization of their country by the Afghan King in the early 1900's, and that's why they resorted to violence instead of diplomacy after America helped the Afghan rebels overthrow their dictator. And all of this will happen again in Syria if Assad falls.
Maybe Syria won't be as bad as Afghanistan?
I said to my Syrian friend that the situation in Syria won't turn out to be as bad as what happened in Afghanistan because Syrian culture is more evolved than Afghan culture — mostly because of Enlightenment ideas installed by the French during their few decades of colonial-rule.
My friend disagreed. He said in this environment everybody must send their kids to the mosque. So their kids get indoctrinated there. A people can move backwards pretty quickly by just enforcing laws that everybody must attend mosques, and that nobody can criticize Islam or else be punished by death. So we would have a whole generation of Syrian Muslims who have no clue about how to resolve conflicts nor how to operate a government. All they would know about how to resolve conflicts is that violence is the answer.
There's a good sign, and a bad one.
Then my mom chimed in. She said that she has explained what an Islamic state would be like to her Syrian Muslim friends, and they all get shocked by the truth. And then they side with the idea of no Islamic state — they side with democracy. More importantly, they side with secular government instead of a state based on a religion. This is a good sign. But there are bad signs too.
I got into a discussion with a Muslim who said 'I CAN'T TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS. IT'S.. IT'S HARAM [forbidden by religious law] FOR ME TO EVEN BE THINKING ABOUT CRITICISM OF ISLAM!!!" A moment later during the discussion he said that it is moral to punish for criticizing Islam. And the thing is that the standard punishment for that "crime" is death, since it's declared exactly that way in the Quran (9:11/12). And he knows it, and I know it, and we each know that the other knows it. So he's telling me that I should be punished by death. This is bad. It means that there are a lot of Muslims who are terrorists in their hearts who just haven't committed any crimes yet.
Some of these terrorists-by-heart are here in America. Fortunately in America we have way fewer of them than compared to other places like in Europe because they appease Islamic fear-mongering for censorship of criticism of Islam a lot more than we do. But don't get me wrong. We are guilty of it too. It's just that we are less guilty of it than they are. America is more pro-liberalism than Europe is.
So what do Syrians want?
Most Syrians now want Assad to stay in power. They've seen the ugly reality of what a rebel war would be like, and now they don't want it. They don't want fundamentalist Muslims invading their country. They would rather have a secular dictator over a long civil war that results in a huge amount of human suffering in the form of destruction of lives, property, and infrastructure that is followed by a dictatorial Islamic state by the "winner" of the civil war that rewards the most cruel leader, the one willing to commit the most massacres.
And they especially don't want foreign help. “We stress that we reject foreign interference in Syria,” said Ignatius Joseph III Younan, Patriarch of Antioch for the Syrian Catholic Church, in a statement read before a conference of more than 50 regional Christian leaders and a handful of global Christians and Muslim scholars in Amman this week. “We don’t accept any intervention by foreign powers … to protect minorities,” Pope Anba Tawadros II of Egypt’s Coptic church said in a statement. “It is basically a pretext … to advance their countries’ interest in the Middle East.”
Syrian Christians are afraid that their communities will suffer a similar fate to Iraq, where the US-led war and subsequent religious fighting forced roughly half of the country’s one million Christians into exile.
Syrians do not want more human suffering. Their pleas should not be ignored any longer.
So how should the US deal with the Syrian situation?
When Obama contemplates military strikes on Assad, he should be thinking about it rationally like so:
First, let's agree that there is a problem, and that we should work on solving it. Second, let's agree on what the problem is, explaining it in detail, which includes a detailed explanation of what a solution would look like. In this step, one of the details that should be considered is the amount of human suffering in the form of loss of lives, property, and infrastructure that would be caused by the proposal, as a measure of its success as a viable solution to the problem.
So, if your proposal is pretty much guaranteed to increase the amount of human suffering in Syria, instead of decreasing it, then your proposal is actually adding to the problem, instead of being part of the solution.
If you don't think about it in terms of problem-solving, then you're thinking irrationally. All life is problem solving. So the question is, what problem are you trying to solve? In the case of Obama funding the Syrian rebels, what problem is he trying to solve? Does he want another Afghanistan where rival fundamentalist Muslim groups keep fighting each other until the most cruel opponent finally succeeds and assumes power and creates an Islamic state with Sharia law? Or does he want a situation where a democracy evolves by slowly reforming the government like the English did?
Let's be clear about what Assad is.
He's a dictator that helped preserve and expand on evolved ideas that were installed by the French during the few decades that they colonized Syria — ideas like women learning to read and women in government. Before the French, Syrian girls were taught, and expected, to stay at home and take care of the children. Reading, and productive work outside the home, and governance was for men only.
If Assad's regime suddenly falls, these evolved ideas will too. Women will go back to their old status more like the women in Saudi Arabia — who are still fighting for their right to drive — and like the women in Afghanistan — who don't even have the right to go to school. Women will suffer from this chaos way more than men will.
Children will suffer more too. And Christians and Jews. And any Islamic sect that isn't in the seat of power. That includes the Alawis, which is an offshoot of the Shiites and is the sect that Assad and his whole government belongs to. Ethnic groups like the Kurds and Armenians won't be spared either. All these people are going to suffer at the hands of the people in the seat of power, which for Syria will probably end up being the one that is the majority, which is Sunni Muslims. Interestingly, Sunni Muslims have had almost exclusive control of Mecca, the center of religious power of the entire Islamic world since Islam's inception 1,400 years ago.
If this is not the time to help a country get rid of a dictator, then when is?
Sometimes a country could use some help. But that country needs to do like 99% of the work, and the outside help can give the extra 1% to make it happen. Syria is not even close to putting in that kind of initiative. Most of the people don't even know the meaning of liberalism — the political philosophy or worldview that (under the law) people should be free to do whatever they want short of initiating force on other people. That includes free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property. They don't know that liberalism is the goal and that democracy is a way to achieve that goal. So lots of Muslims claim to want democracy, while not knowing what liberalism means, and not knowing that Islam's concept of censoring criticism of itself contradicts liberalism and is counter-productive to it's intended goal, which is peace and prosperity.
What's missing from these static societies?
That raises the question, what's missing from these static societies? It's the knowledge that when criticism is censored, evil spreads — and that where criticism flourishes, evil dies out — so good evolves. Criticism is the natural selective pressure that kills evil ideas.
The greatest advances in history of knowledge and technology are a direct result of those cultures having adopted the tradition of criticism (see _The Beginning of Infinity_, by David Deutsch). That's what the philosophers were doing — guessing ideas and refining and refuting them with criticism. And that's what scientists do too. Their ideas are scientific theories and their criticism comes in the form of the theoritical design and execution of experiments, and the interpretation of their results; and the criticism also comes in the form of explanations of flaws within the scientific theories.
The ability to criticize is the most awesome invention the Universe has ever created! It's something that only humans can do — it's what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Why would anyone want to do less of such a great thing? Why wouldn't anyone want to do way more of it instead!? Why not do more of the best things in life!?
Why censor criticism when censorship of criticism is itself evil??
And what political system lets criticism thrive best?
A democracy, where free speech is protected and cherished.. where there is a strong tradition of people settling their conflicts with ideas instead of weapons.. where if a ruler is found to be horrible as a ruler, there exists a legitimate way to change rulers peacefully so that destruction of infrastructure, knowledge, and human life are minimized.
So let's not invade Syria. Let's instead use diplomacy to help Syria reform towards a liberal/democratic form of government. President Putin is taking the route of diplomacy as he tries to get Assad to give up his chemical weapons. We should follow his lead.
Helping get rid of Assad, with pretty much guaranteed chance of all-out religious warfare like in Afghanistan, is not as good as keeping Assad in power, and getting ready for reform where Assad phases himself out in a gradual way as the Syrian people learn how to rule themselves.

how to “mark” reading
In reading you can’t get out a pen and mark it like many other subjects. A teacher assesses a child’s reading ability using a lot of different information to come to a conclusion. This grid is based on the simple model of reading that was highlighted ten years ago in the Rose Review that started the move to synthetic phonics that is still the compulsory teaching method used in schools now. However, phonics is not the only part of this, because reading has two main part, reading each individual word using sounds and understanding what all those words mean when put together.
simple reading gridAll children start in the orange area, they can’t read yet. But we want them in the green area, able to read the words and understand them.
Some children will find phonics easier and learn to read word by word but are not understanding the meaning of all the words together (moving to the top left bubble). But some children will understand the overall meaning but are not correctly reading each separate word and are missing or guessing words rather than working them out (moving to the bottom right bubble). The important thing is to recognise where your child is and help develop the skills they still need to reach the green bubble, through phonics or questioning and discussion.
Ultimately children are all different. We need to use everything we can to help them get to that green area and master all the elements of being a successful reader.
The sorts of assessments that teachers will use to decide a child’s ability are:
• a phonics assessment. How well do they recognise and blend sounds – click here for more information on phonics.
• reading a book individually with your child, maybe included a running record. If you want to see what this involves click here.
• information from reading in a Guided Reading group. This is a regular group that reads with the teacher. Children are grouped according to their level and will work together on skills they still need.
Often it may seem that your child is reading a book that is “too easy” because they read each word without difficulty. Discuss the reasons with the teacher to find out what skills their teacher wants them to work on.

Reason Patch A Day Is Coming To An End
It's time.
I've written this post a dozen times over the last couple of years, but I think that it's finally time. It's time to end the Reason Patch A Day experiment and move on to other things.
It's been a long, weird, enjoyable, and sometimes frustrating trip. I've shared this a few times, in a few different places, but at its most basic level Patch A Day was a challenge. I had been trying to wrap my brain around synthesis and creating a new patch, every day, seemed like a good way to finally hammer home the concepts I had been learning over the years before. It was a way to force myself to actually work through creating new sounds, rather than just cycling through endless lists of other people's presets, and the blog began as an attempt to share those early, tentative attempts at sound design.
But, over time I learned that Patch A Day was also a distraction. I got stuck, musically, and couldn't seem to move forward, so I thought that time spent creating new tools would be time well spent. Once that musical rut ended, I'd have a collection of new, custom sounds that I could use to start creating again. But, over time, I wasn't creating tools for myself anymore; I was just creating them for the blog.
"Feed the blog," was a phrase I used too much and it was an action that was starting to make me unhappy. It was fleeting, of course. Blogging is often its own reward, and I have certainly found this blog rewarding, but I've come to the conclusion over the last year that as long as I continue to work on Reason Patch A Day, I'll never make any music, which ironically, is why I started all of this in the first place.
So, this is my last post. I hope you've enjoyed this weird experiment as much as I have. It's been outstanding getting to know many of you and listening to the amazing music that you've created. I wish you all the best of luck, in life, and in music, and hope that we can stay in touch.
I'll leave the blog up and running for a while. I'll continue selling the refills, if you want them, but I'm off to try to find my muse again and explore the explosions of energy and the chilly shadows of doubt that come from creativity.
Thanks again for your interest over the years and your support.
On to the next adventure....

Experimental physicists break Newton’s law of gravitation
Our intuition for moving objects is strongly challenged in the quantum world, and it may sometimes even completely fail. Experimental physicists have now found a quantum particle which shows an intriguing oscillatory back-and-forth motion in a one-dimensional atomic gas.
A ripe apple falling from a tree has inspired Sir Isaac Newton to formulate a theory that describes the motion of objects subject to a force. Newton’s equations of motion tell us that a moving body keeps on moving on a straight line unless any disturbing force may change its path. The impact of Newton’s laws is ubiquitous in our everyday experience, ranging from a skydiver falling in the earth’s gravitational field, over the inertia one feels in an accelerating airplane, to the earth orbiting around the sun.
In the quantum world, however, our intuition for the motion of objects is strongly challenged and may sometimes even completely fail. What about imagining a marble falling through water oscillating up and down rather than just moving straight downwards? Sounds strange. Yet, that’s what experimental physicist from Innsbruck in collaboration with theorists from Munich, Paris and Cambridge have discovered for a quantum particle. At the heart of this surprising behavior is what physicists call ‘quantum interference’, the fact that quantum mechanics allows particles to behave like waves, which can add up or cancel each other.
Approaching absolute zero temperature
To observe the quantum particle oscillating back and forth the team had to cool a gas of Cesium atoms just above absolute zero temperature and to confine it to an arrangement of very thin tubes realized by high-power laser beams. By means of a special trick, the atoms were made to interact strongly with each other. At such extreme conditions the atoms form a quantum fluid whose motion is restricted to the direction of the tubes. The physicists then accelerated an impurity atom, which is an atom in a different spin state, through the gas. As this quantum particle moved, it was observed to scatter off the gas particles and to reflect backwards. This led to an oscillatory motion, in contrast to what a marble would do when falling in water. The experiment demonstrates that Newton’s laws cannot be used in the quantum realm.
Quantum fluids sometimes act like crystals
The fact that a quantum-wave may get reflected into certain directions has been known since the early days of the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. For example, electrons reflect at the regular pattern of solid crystals, such as a piece of metal. This effect is termed ‘Bragg-scattering’. However, the surprise in the experiment performed in Innsbruck was that no such crystal was present for the impurity to reflect off. Instead, it was the gas of atoms itself that provided a type of hidden order in its arrangement, a property that physicist dub ‘correlations’. The Innsbruck work has demonstrated how these correlations in combination with the wave-nature of matter determine the motion of particles in the quantum world and lead to novel and exciting phenomena that counteract the experiences from our daily life.
Understanding the oddity of quantum mechanics may also be relevant in a broader scope, and help to understand and optimize fundamental processes in electronics components, or even transport processes in complex biological systems.

44 – The Sky Is Grey and You Are Distressed
One of us has a secret….and tonight’s the night to clear the air.
Phil Vecchione of Misdirected Mark and Encoded Designs (and that other show, Panda’s Talking Games) joins Senda to play Ginger Goat Games’ The Sky is Grey and You Are Distressed. There was a little bit of show bleed from recording all the things in one night, so expect outtakes!
One Reply to “44 – The Sky Is Grey and You Are Distressed”
1. This was incredible! Amazing performance by both of you. Kudos to Phil for not pushing in his six bodies in the basement into the story; that was some epic restraint and respect for the story.

Module Two—Communication and Listening Skills
Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much.”
Robert Greenleaf
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.”
Stephen Covey
There’s so arguing that communication is an integral part of any relationship, be it familial, friendship, business, or romantic. In fact, an absence or breakdown of communication can put even the best relationships in serious jeopardy. Poor communication often leads to feelings of betrayal, growing distrust, misunderstandings, and even social isolation. Contrary to popular belief, the foundation of solid communication is not making yourself be heard or expressing yourself clearly. While these are elements of good communication, the real core of communication is understanding where the other person is coming from. Productive communication simply cannot exist without both parties expressing ideas and making efforts towards genuine listening. Though this may seem paradoxical, the key to communication is more about listening to the other than flooding him or her with information about who you are, what you want, and how you feel. Remember, disappointing or not, the ultimate goal of communication is most often compromise.
Communicating effectively or opening the lines of communication needn’t feel forced or incredibly unnatural—even the most hesitant communicators can improve with a bit of effort and attention to detail. The first step in becoming an admirable communicator is to pay attention to what makes a good communicator. When, for example, do you hit walls in your own dealings with other people? Replay your conversations in your mind, asking yourself what may have gone wrong—or right. For the sake of improving your own proficiency, observe the subtle habits of excellent communicators: people who make themselves understood and seem to understand the needs, experiences, and feelings of those around them. Most of all, never forget even in moments of frustration, that you can get better at communicating. Practice makes perfect!
Importance of Communication
Why is communication important? Some reasons were listed in the above paragraph. These are other considerations:
Stimulates interaction between you and someone else
Calms (or creates) fears and apprehensions
Is useful for assessment of a situation or of learning
Is necessary for accurate clarification
Can be used for modeling correct behaviors, grammar, expectations
Establishes rapport
Promotes understanding
Builds self-confidence
What is Communication?
Communication is multi-faceted. It involves both speaking and listening. The speaker is the sender, while the listener is the receiver. Both require paying attention to what is being said as well as how it is being said.
Communication is both verbal and nonverbal. In fact, only 7% of communication is verbal, what is actually stated. Therefore, 93% of communication is nonverbal: sighs, laughs, facial expressions, body stance, eye contact (or lack of), paying attention (or inattentiveness), fidgeting, “tuning out” and numerous other physical attributes contribute to nonverbal communication. It is essential for a good communicator to aware of body language and other nonverbal indicators, as this is the primary source of receptive communication.
Barriers to Communication
Hearing, but not listening
Background experiences
Personal problems
Different first language
Lack of rapport between speaker and audience
Too many divergent topics
Improving Communication
Focus on the speaker
Establish rapport
Model proper listening skills
Improve nonverbal skills
Summarize important points
Follow an outline when speaking
Check for understanding
Practice active listening
You were born with 2 ears and 1 mouth. The greatest gift we can give each other is to listen twice as much as we speak.
Keys for Good Communication with Tutees
1. Make the first meeting with your tutee a positive experience. Be consistent in body, voice, and words. Be careful with nonverbal communication. Establish rapport by initiating eye contact, listening patiently, and remaining open to what the tutee says.
1. Find out why the student has requested tutoring; this will give you a focus to plan future tutoring sessions. Some students know exactly where they are having trouble, some can point out general difficulties, while others can only vaguely describe the source of their confusion. Some students will feel anxious because they fear failing, others lack confidence, some have no interest in the course but must take it as a degree requirement, some are overwhelmed by requirements for a course. Having background information can facilitate effective tutoring.
1. Ask open-ended questions. Questions that can be answered with yes/no or one-word answers have less value than those that ask the student to demonstrate understanding. “What if” questions and analogies are excellent strategies for expanding understanding.
1. Ask tutees to verbalize examples, explanations, theories, processes, effects, comparisons, solutions, and arguments.
1. Tutees who say “yes” when you ask if they understand do not always really understand. They may falsely believe that they understand. They may feel stupid if they admit that they do not understand what you just explained. Or, they may think that they will hurt your feelings if your explanation does not make sense to them. Find ways to check tutees’ understanding to see if they really grasp ideas.
1. Question, prod, guide, and suggest rather than lecturing.
1. Let your tutees know that they are partners in the tutoring relationship. They have to contribute to make the relationship work. Tutees are expected to be on time, to bring all necessary materials, to practice what you discuss, and to be prepared for each session. The tutor also needs to be prepared for each session, and must do his/her best to build the confidence of the tutee.
1. Assist students to figure out answers for themselves. These three steps can help: (1) provide instruction, (2) require a response, and (3) give feedback. In other words, present the information briefly, have the student respond and talk about the material, then let the student know when the answer is correct or incorrect.
1. Talk to your tutees about short- and long-term goals. Try to help tutees see how each session moves them closer to fulfilling their goals. It is also helpful to focus on one goal or skill at a time. It is difficult to learn everything at once.
1. End each session on a positive note!
Motivation Enhances Communication
The most important factors that lead to student success are a strong motivation to succeed, good learning skills, and excellent communication. The following are tips to help motivate students:
* Find out about your students’ interests, experiences, hobbies, goals, etc. As often as you can, relate the content to the students’ interests.
* Use lots of examples, illustrations, anecdotes, and stories.
* Use humor.
* Admit your mistakes or lack of knowledge. It is OK to be a “real” person.
* Talk less than your students do.
* Give positive feedback verbally (praise) and nonverbally (make eye contact, smile, nod).
* Make sure that the level of tutoring matches students’ background, ability, and experience.
* Check that the relevance of what you are doing is clear to the students.
* Use as much variety in your methods and materials as possible.
* Encourage students to make decisions about their own learning—give them CHOICES, act on their suggestions.
* Ask students how they would make the session more interesting.

Listening Skills
What is Listening?
Which activity involves the most amount of listening? Students spend 20% of all school related hours just listening. If television watching and one-half of conversations are included, students spend approximately 50% of their waking hours just listening. For those hours spent in the classroom, the amount of listening time can be almost 100%! Look at your own activities, especially those related to college. Are most of your activities focused around listening, especially in the classroom?
If you ask a group of students to give a one-word description of listening, some would say “hearing”; however, hearing is physical. “Listening” is following and understanding the sound—it is hearing with a purpose. Good listening is built on three basic skills: attitude, attention, and adjustment. These skills are known collectively as Triple-A Listening.
Listeningis the absorption of the meanings of words and sentences by the brain. Listening leads to the understanding of facts and ideas. But listening takes attention, or sticking to the task at hand in spite of distractions. It requires concentration, which is the focusing of your thoughts upon one particular problem. A person who incorporates listening with concentration is actively listening. Active listening is a method of responding to another that encourages communication.
Listening is a very important skill, especially for tutors. Many tutors tend to talk too much during a tutorial session. This defeats the purpose of tutoring, which is to allow students to learn by discussion and discovery. Rather than turning the session into a mini-lecture, tutors must actively listen and encourage their students to become active learners.
In Study Skills for Learning Power (Hellyer, Robinson, and Sherwood, 1998), the authors distinguish between powerlisteners and passivelisteners. A POWER listener is one who is actively involved: he/she comes to class prepared with homework and all texts and other materials; is punctual; has a positive attitude toward the class and instructor specifically and toward learning in general. A PASSIVE listener has the opposite characteristics; he/she hears the words being said, but makes little attempt to engage the mind to understand the message.
Triple-A Listening
Walter Pauk writes in How to Study in College (Houghton Mifflin, 2001) that a lecture’s value can be extracted only through listening. But listening is not the same as hearing. Listening is a conscious activity based on the three basic skills of attitude, attention, and adjustment. These are collectively known as Triple-A Listening.
*Maintain a constructive Attitude.
A positive attitude paves the way for open-mindedness. Don’t assume a lecture is going to be dull. Even if the lecturer makes statements you don’t agree with, don’t decide he or she is automatically wrong. Don’t let reactive interference prevent you from recalling the speaker’s key points.
*Strive to pay Attention
You must focus on the lecture or information you are being presented. What you hear will enter your short-term memory. It must be swiftly processed into ideas. If information is not processed, it will dumped from short-term memory and will be gone forever. Attentive listening makes sure the ideas are processed.
*Cultivate a capacity for Adjustment
Although some speakers clearly indicate what they intend to cover in their lectures, you need to be flexible enough to follow a lecture regardless of the direction it may take. If, however, you are thoroughly lost, or if the speaker’s message is not coming across and you need to ask a clarifying question, do so!
Active Listening
As stated earlier, Power Listeners are involved listeners; they practice active listening.
The Poynter Institute has devised the following chart:
Active Listening Techniques

A. Encouraging . To convey Don’t agree or disagree. 1. “I see. . .”

LOOKInstructors usually present their lectures in five main parts:
1. Introduction: The opening statements
2. Thesis Statement: The topic to be covered
3. Body: Information to be learned about the topic
4. Summary: What the instructor covered that day
5. Irrelevancies: Filler or off-the-topic material
Look and listen for patterns in lectures. Your understanding will improve if you can see the order and consistency in the lecture and anticipate what comes next.
IDENTIFY—Identify your reasons for wanting to listen or you will be unmotivated. It is
your responsibility to get what you want from a lecture.
SET Up—Set up the situation to maximize the possibility of hearing and understanding
the lecture. Your ears, eyes, and brain are parts of your listening apparatus.
Be rested enough to keep your eyes open and stay awake; maintain eye
contact. Block out noise and distractions by sitting where you will be least
bothered. Use your brain to ask questions for clarification.
TUNE IN—Learn to increase your attention span by timing just how long you can last
before you think of something else. When your brain wanders, write down
that thought and set a time for later when you will deal with it. Pay careful
attention to how an instructor stresses important points, whether verbally or
EXAMINE—Examine the context to determine the main points. Read each assignment
before class to have a general idea of topics to be covered. This will keep
such as “Is this what you mean?” to make sure you understand.
NOTES—Taking notes will help you stay tuned in. Write down a word or two even if
the material is familiar; this will keep you listening.
(LISTEN acronym taken from Systems for Study, Alton Raygor (McGraw-Hill, 1970).

Double Glazing Prices
News Discuss

Fed to Cow
The Cowleaf can be found on most islands including Woodcutt Isle, Larona Village, and Dorado Mine.
The Cowleaf can be fed to cows on Bullhorn Farm to produce cow milk. After feeding a Cowleaf to a cow, it takes 22 minutes and 30 seconds to produce cow milk.
The player is asked to find two Cowleafs by Ranger Grainger when the player first visits Woodcutt Isle as part of a quest. Once the player has found two Cowleafs it has to be brought back to Ranger Grainger in order to complete the quest.
The Cowleaf's description is shown when the player has no Cowleafs to give to a cow. It says that the Cowleaf is found on Woodcutt Isle.
It cannot be sold in the Food Stall.
Where is the research fact for this assumption? Cow leaf is mostly used for pain relief

Change Data Capture Events in Salesforce – Keep your UI updated with latest data
Change Data Capture(CDC) Events – This is still a new term in the Salesforce world. Do you know what it is and how powerful is it? If not, read this post and learn CDC events.
• CDC events are basically used to track the changes in a Salesforce record. This means, it tracks create, update, delete and undelete changes of a Salesforce Record, and fires an event when the change occurred.
• You can subscribe to CDC channel to listen for these events. You can even subscribe to these events from you your own platform using javascript libraries like cometD.
• Once you subscribe to these events, you will get a notification whenever a new event is generated, the notification will include a payload in JSON format which will have all the details about the event like:
• SObject name – where the change happened like Account, Opportunities etc
• Record Ids – List of record ids which are changed
• Change Type – Create/Update/Delete/Undelete
• Changed Fields – Fields which are modified
• User – The user who performed the change
• Timestamp – When the change has happened
• You can use this payload to perform your operation. For example, if you want to keep your in-house application in sync with Salesforce Data, you can use payload information to update your application with data changes happened in Salesforce.
Sample Payload
CDC Events tracks all changes and all fields in an object and if any of the fields are modified the event will be triggered. This makes it very easy to listen for all type of changes in a record. You can use Streaming API for a similar purpose, but there you specifically need to specify which fields and change type you want to track while creating PushTopics.
Implementation Example
Let’s discuss an implementation scenario of CDC events where you want to keep your UI updated with latest changes.
• User “Ron Weasley” is viewing an Opportunity record which is being viewed by the user “Harry Potter” as well at the same time.
• Harry Potter has changed the record data and has modified Opportunity amount.
• Ron Weasley who is unaware of this change and still viewing the old record, has to make a very important decision based on Opportunity amount and send the same to higher management.
• Now in this situation, Ron Weasley may take an incorrect decision and send incorrect data to higher management.
How to avoid the above situation? Well, lets leverage Change Data Capture events and lightning:empApi component to track changes in Opportunity Record, and update the data on Ron Weasley’s screen as soon as the data is modified by Harry Potter. Our coding solution will include below components:
• RecordChangeEventHandler Component – The main component to subscribe, unsubscribe and receive messages from streaming channel of Change Data Capture events. Once this component receives a message, this will fire a component event, which would be handled by the parent component. The channel name is like below:
• Standard Object: “ChangeEvent” appended in the end. Example, AccountChangeEvent, OpportunityChangeEvent etc.
• Custom Object: “__ChangeEvent” appended in the end. Like for custom object “Car__c”, the change event channel name would be “Car__ChangeEvent”
• RecordChangeEvent Component Event – This event will be fired by RecordChangeEventHandler component whenever it receives a message from Change Event. This component event will be handled by the parent component.
• RecordChangeCapture – This component is parent component which will include actual markup and handle the above-mentioned component event fired my RecordChangeEventHandler component.
• SupportedObjectsForChangeEvents.js
• RecordChangeCaptureLightningController.apxc
There is a lot going on in this code. To understand above code line by line, watch below video where I explained the usage of Change Data Capture events and above code along with output.
Change Data Capture are not Generallly Available yet and are only available in developer orgs and Sandboxes. Refer Change Data Capture Developer Guide for more details information.

Hi Manish thanks for the informative video.
lightning:empAPi worked when included in the lightning component but same did not work when included in lightning app.
I tried to include compnent ion app/ and alternatively tried to have same component code in lightning app but did not work.
I am trying to create a lightning cti softphone and require static address for softphone , that is why using app.

In the south of India, this part of the wedding was called Maaplai or Jaana Vasam or, in the north, Baraat. Historically, the groom and all of his family traveled to the bride’s city to celebrate their wedding. The groom typically rode in on a horse and the whole village would receive him with great festivities.
Without a doubt, of the three days of celebration that included Tara and Rohan as well as all of their family and friends, this final day was the most packed with energy. You could feel the force with which each person lived every single moment. The procession full of dancing, music, songs, shouts and laughter was such a joy and it absolutely invited photography. The vitality was so contagious that it pushed me to capture, in photographs, that same force, love and life. The procession was closely followed by Milni (the meeting of the two families) and the surprises didn’t stop – surrounded by jokes, laughter and immense happiness, the families were introduced to each other. Everything happened so fast and so suddenly that there wasn’t space to get distracted – every single moment was ripe for documentation. This combination of the richness of color, the rituals, the jokes, and the sincere expressions of affection is, undoubtedly, one of the reasons I so enjoy these kinds of weddings.
Thank you, Tara and Rohan, for allowing us to be part of your celebration. Many blessings in your next stage of life and thank you, Uma, for the invitation.
See the the First Part of this amazing traditional hindu wedding!

Android phones wake up to music and podcasts with a button press after all!
I just had a startling revelation, a discovery. And it will help anyone struggling with listening to stuff on headphones on an Android smartphone. But please be patient while I describe the scenario...
You're out for a walk listening to a podcast or music. The phone's in your pocket or in its belt case - and you're using the supplied wired stereo headset to deliver the tunes or spoken word. All is right with the world til you get interrupted. Perhaps you meet someone and stop for a chat? Or arrive at a shop and have to conduct some business or other. Either way, you press the single button on your headset and the music or podcast pauses.
Or you're in bed listening to a podcast, drifting off happily to sleep. OK, there's a fair chance you'll fall asleep and you'll miss most of the podcast, but I find I know when I'm too tired to listen on and I pause playback and remove the earbuds just before I settle down to actually sleep.
In either case, you've g…

"You and I"
Every night
We're all alone
Every night
My only hope
Is the light
That's shining from inside you
'Cause you believe
In what we are
You believe
In what we'll be
Give me strength
So I can stand beside you
No truths to confirm
No lies to deny
Too hopeless to care
We're too scared to cry
You and I
Hold me tight
You and I
Gotta Fight
You and I
Side by Side
You and I
Say good-bye
You and I
Feels so right
You and I
Holding tight
You and I
Side by side
You and I
For the rest of our lives
Just a side
To an anguished street
For what we believe
If we hide
Maybe we can make it through this
Is it fair
To be burned away?
Is it fair
That we live this way?
For a life we didn't ask for...

Here’s Your Bad Advice!
Before you read today’s post, go check out the official Jenna & Incredipete wedding website at
Question 1: Why do we pay farmers not to grow stuff.
Answer: Well, I’m not sure exactly how I can give you personal advice about why we pay farmers not to grow stuff, since you’re not a farmer nor are you a government official. I would suggest boycotting all farm products, like fruit, vegetable, and grain. That’ll show’em.
Question 2: Design an exercise program with me (Warcrygirl) in mind.
Answer: First of all, if you’re going to start an exercise program, it’s important to remember that your calorie intake needs are going to change drastically. You will need to eat. Constantly. I suggest foods that give you energy, like Nestle Crunch bars and chocolate cake. Avoid dairy foods like milk and ice cream as they will make you barf if you eat them then work out. You should also avoid protein, like chicken, meat, eggs, etc. You aren’t trying to look like a bodybuilder… you want to look like a chick. Protein will make you have bulging biceps.
Exercise should include low-impact activities like cooking and blogging. High-impact exercise like jogging, running, etc. cause damage to your joints and also make you sweat. Sweat is your body’s way of telling you you’re working too hard.
Question 3: How might I (Loopy) go about getting a job that doesn’t suck.
Answer: First of all, whatever you do… don’t waste your time and money on college. A college degree is not important to finding a job that pays well. All that really matters is your ability to effectively pad your resume’. Lies on a resume’ should be as bold as they are ridiculous. Small lies on a resume’ combine to look suspicious, while bold and ridiculous lies on a resume’ are so outrageous no one would ever suspect that you were trying to pull one over on them. Some people might claim to have attended a prestigous school. You should try claiming that Harvard gave you an honorary doctorate based on your high school work, but that you told them to shove it. Work experience need not be relevant. For example, one of your accomplishments could be “Found cure for Polio at the age of 7.” Nobody really remembers who invented the first Polio vaccine. All we know is that we don’t get Polio anymore.
Finally, once you have an interview, you should act like you have better things you could be doing. For example, start out by saying “I’m really just using this as a practice interview… I have an interview for an advisory position with the NSA tomorrow.” That way it’s unverifiable and they’ll be impressed that an agency of government assasins wants you as an advisor.
Question 4: How can I (Nightmare) get a tighter shot pattern with factory loads?
Answer: It’s so simple I can’t believe I have to even give an answer. The best way to get a tighter shot pattern with factory loads is to stand closer to the target.
Question 5: How can I (Mental) justify surfing the net on my timecard?
Answer: In this day and age, it’s rarely necessary to justify time on the net considering it’s woven into the fabric of our society. Still, if you work for an old person, you might have to justify it. For example, you could tell them that you’re using the Internet to look for a better job. You could just tell them it’s none of their business and claim that you have a Constitutional right to privacy.
Question 6: Could you show me (Albannach) a way to travel from Philadelphia to Kansas City where any airline involved does not extort me?
Answer: I suggest hijacking a plane. This has many benefits. First, you can sit in first class. That’s worth the trouble, trust me. And the most important benefit is, statistically speaking, if you hijack the plane, you reduce your risk of being hurt by a terrorist. What are the odds TWO people try to hijack the same plane?
Carefully planned, you might pull off a hijacking without the airline even noticing. Air traffic control uses computers designed in the 1920’s with roughly the same computing power as a Bic pen. It wouldn’t be difficult to send the tower a fake signal, I’m guessing.
If hijacking’s not your thing, I suggest a dine and dash approach. Hire a charter jet and fly directly to Olathe, KS. When the plane arrives, have a getaway car waiting for you and take off without paying. It’s a flawless plan. The only kink is that each charter company would only be good for one flight. Unless they are using the same technology as the air traffic controllers.

Happy Easter
My daughter Emily made this cake, which I'm proudly showing off here. She's just so darn talented.
I hope you have a lovely day, full of family and food and celebration and JOY.
HE IS RISEN!!! Hallelujah!
1. That's a very beautiful cake! I'm encouraged to see your office pics, before and after. The rest of my house looks okay most of the time, but my bedroom, unfortunately, looks like your office "before".
I need to dig out your book and read it again.
2. Thanks! I forgot to tell my daughter i was posting a photo of her handiwork, so your comment has been a good reminder to text and tell her. :)
If you can keep all but your bedroom clean, you're doing better than most! If a big part of the problem is clothing, you might want to refer back to an old post in the archives on here, called "Oh, Those Clean Dirty Clothes" or something like that. It's all about the clutter problems created by clothes that have been worn once but are still clean enough to wear again. For a lot of people, that's their biggest bedroom mess issue. :)
Thanks for reading!

The Face of Love
...looks like this after he's been in a muddy pumpkin patch for an hour searching for (and carrying) the perfect pumpkins.
After all the pumpkins were picked, carried to the car (a good half mile walk each carry), scraped of big chunks of mud, and loaded in the back, I asked him if it was worth it or if he wished we had just gone to Walmart to buy pumpkins there. He said, "If it was worth it to you, that's all that matters." :o)
Here is my fall display
**Yes, I got in on the experience too...I just wasn't as muddy because I'm not strong enough to carry the big pumpkins :o)
Frizzy said...
He has such a gentle and sweet face. Looks like a great day!

A Questioning Fool’s Self-Examination
"There are three rules for writing a novel,” W. Somerset Maugham once said. “Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." Words of wisdom that no doubt still hold true. I found myself thinking of Maugham’s quote as I read Donis’s wonderful Saturday (Aug. 15) blog, “The Hard Part.” I thoroughly enjoyed her essay partly because her approach to writing a novel is so very different from my own.
“When I start a mystery,” Donis explained, “I know who the murderer is, and I know how and why s/he did it.” I don’t know whether it is a curse or a blessing, but as I have written previously, I usually enter my stories like a blind man wandering through the forest. As I bump into trees, trip over stone walls, and discover a few cleared pathways, I solve each of my story’s small mysteries, and those seemingly minor answers usually lead to larger and more important revelations.
In fact, what I do not know drives my writing process. Agatha Christie wrote her novels in reverse order (last chapter first and so on) to be able to lay clues in precise places so she could “play fair” with the reader. By contrast, I find that writing novels is about answering my own questions. I ask many as a write, and I attempt to write scenes that force the reader to ask just as many.
Most of my questions stem from the characters I create. My goal is always to create a main character that is realistically flawed and is one that I genuinely care about. If I have done that, the character will come alive (at least for me, the book’s first reader). Therefore, the more complex and real the character, the more complex and real my questions can be. And these questions determine the book’s plot. For instance, Why did he say he found the note in Toronto? When was he there? Why did his lecture include the statement about his twin brother? I must pursue the answers to these questions right along with my sleuth. I will never claim that this is the most linear method of writing. (I once wrote 144 pages, scrapped them, and started over using a different point of view.) But I enjoy this process, and in the end, the better my character development is, the more interesting my plot is. Character equals plot; the events in my book, just as in real life, are limited to and expanded by the people in control of them.
There is an adage that goes like this: “No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader.” This is one of my three rules of fiction writing. If I could remember the other two writing would be easy.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela explained uBuntu as follows;
"A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of uBuntu but it will have various aspects. uBuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?"

That would be a worthy thread all its own, IMO. If IQ tests don't
measure various types of intelligences (I too reject a unitary general
intelligence, but think there are good developmental reasons for the
illusion of such a beast to emerge), why are they so darned predictive of
upward and downward socioeconomic mobility? Why are they so predictive
of school grades and why are they tied to developmental integrity?
These are fair questions, I think.

'Not sure what that means ("real"). But it represents something
relatively constant within a lifetime which has predictive value.
I believe that MRI and nerve conductivity and reaction time studies
indicate that IQ does at least correlate with something "real" inside the

Mermaid Swamp Notes
Not a lot of translation stuff to explain, but here you go. Spoilers for the whole game, as I also clear up some things about the plot.
What in the Fresh Hell
Rin, Seitaro, and to a lesser extent Yuuta all talk pretty roughly, so yeah. College students, am I right? ("College Student" wouldn't fit on the menu, so I put the "college" part in my short summary instead.)
Seitaro likes to call Yamazaki "yamazaru," which means "bumpkin." Sometimes he just shortens it to "kuso zaru," "damn monkey." I translated this in various ways, sometimes depending on the context, like "Yammerzaki" when he's telling her to shut up.
Of course, sometimes I just had him say "Yamazaki," because it sounds exasperated enough as it is, and I figure he can't be bothered to think of a play on it every time.
There's not much to say about Rin's illiteracy; the stuff she can't read is fairly antiquated with a few obscure kanji, but I'd still say it's pretty laughable that she can't even guess. But 119 is Japan's version of 911, so no, that at least isn't her being dumb.
If you were too lazy to look it up, Yaobikuni (literally "800-year priestess") is the legendary nun the old man talks about who ate the flesh of a mermaid and lived 800 years.
Uri mentioned in reply to my translation that the game must have been hard to translate because of "lots of antiquated expressions," and gave Yaobikuni as an example, but, uh... Really, it's just those two things with old Japanese and the name of a legend which was better left untouched. Not any especial difficulty there.
I completely forgot to mention this when I initially made this post, oops. The mirror in the old mansion had the kanji for The Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. The "time of The Dragon" is 7 to 9 AM, thus 8. The best I could muster was "VIII." Hey, gimme a break.
Submerged Past
The game is somewhat subtle about it, but this seems to be the backstory with Saeko and Yukio.
Saeko was married and had two kids, Chiyo and Chie. Her husband died, possibly in a traumatic way: her letter says she's "on her own now," got compensation for "emotional distress," and the kids needed counseling.
Also, Chiyo and Chie's genders are left ambiguous. But since Chiyo felt bad for the mermaids and drew one crying, while Chie loved them and drew a happy one, it might be assumed Chiyo was a girl and Chie was a boy.
Saeko and Yukio were probably acquaintances. Yukio, worried for her, offered to marry Saeko, or maybe made some other offer which eventually led to that.
However, Saeko soon found out what the men of the family did with the mermaids. Disgusted and regretting ever marrying into the family, she left. (Her stepmother also had thoughts of running away.)
The Tsuchida men wouldn't risk Saeko knowing their secret, however, and drowned Saeko and her children. (A little uncertain, but it seems likely, what with Saeko saying "I don't know" to "Will we be killed?")
Yukio almost certainly learned of the foul play, which probably helped him to realize just how awful his family was. Though since he still had a thing for the mermaids and wouldn't let them go, it didn't exactly help anything.
It's not too hard to work out, but the mermaids "bloated" Yuka as a means to get the others to find and help them. This is why (dream) Yuka says she's a "hostage" and is returned to normal in the true ending.
Uri confirmed this on Twitter, as well as that the "HELP ME..." and "I'M SORRY..." calls are Yuka speaking for the mermaids: either again asking for help (both for the mermaids and Yuka), or apologizing for their gamble killing Yuka.
Uri also confirmed that the hairpin in the swamp and the clothes in that one room were left behind by the mermaids; the latter probably while they were living among the family, the former falling out while being taken to the other side of the swamp.
The mermaids probably gave Rin weird dreams and such to lead her on the right track, and maybe make her sympathize. Theoretically, Rin and Yuka could have traded places. The mermaids were understandably unwilling to count on the men (smart move).
The insane Yuuta and Seitaro were at least in some sense possessed by the spirits of the Tsuchida men - the ghost behind Seitaro in the graveyard seems to imply it's fairly literal.
They seem quite a bit more misogynistic in crazy mode, too. Again, they love drowning women, so this should not be surprising.

Understanding your audience is the first step in creating any marketing strategy. Without having audience who wants and needs your product, you wouldn’t have any customers for your product/service. The demographics of your target audience decide how to structure your content and what will engage their interests and values. You should spend time identifying the websites your target audience spends time on and how you can create content that engages with that audience. If your audience is interacting with pages that include videos rather images then make video a part of your brand awareness strategy.
For example, if your company creates apps for healthcare professionals, your audience is primarily doctors and physicians. In this case, you should customize your content to appeal doctors, and show them that you’re committed to providing them with a great experience.
#2. Utilize company’s blog as a tool for brand awareness
Here are a few tips to help you build brand on your company’s blog.
To be distinct from your competitors, you have to produce unique content. People always look for fresh content. If you post the repeated information as your competitors, it won’t help you to stand out in the market. Also, ensure that the information provided in the content is accurate to your customer’s expectations. Taking new angles on topics related to your industry can help to establish your brand as a creative and an authoritative one. Focus on the upcoming technologies being implemented in your work area and try writing blogs based on those contents. You should also write on topics that give your audience an inside look at your company. For example, you can write blogs about the story of your products developed, how it benefits users, etc.
Frequently spy on your competitor’s blog post to see what topics are doing well. You may quickly rework general ideas to your content that are helping your competitors connect with customers. If your competitor releases blogs that includes videos frequently you could also consider posting video’s or webinar weekly to get maximum reach.
#3. Optimize & Promote Your Content on various channels
While optimizing the content on your webpage, consider the following things:
Optimize the content with relevant keywords. Italicize or bold the most important keywords to be ranked in the search engine result pages.
Create an eye-catching header. Provide Headline tags – H1, H2, and Meta tags.
Augment your stories with photos. Rely on bullets to make reading easier.
Create titles and subtitles to make sure that search engines (online crawlers) will find your content easier.
Provide a short description of your product. Write a by-line for your article.
Social media platforms: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+ are a great way to promote your brand-building content and reach a broad audience. Social media platforms are great for content marketing because the information you share with your followers isn’t only available to them but their friends as well. By posting, you’re opening the doors for your content to go further than just your audience.
Guest posting on leading websites: Guest posting on significant sites like Forbes or Entrepreneur increases your traffic.
Send Email Newsletters: Sending email newsletters regularly to your clients are one of the best ways to keep your company at the forefront of customer’s minds.
#4. Pay attention to analytics
Google Analytics is a great platform for understanding a ton of data on how your content is doing online. Analyzing the results of your different marketing strategies will allow you to understand which techniques work and which don’t so that you can improve your marketing strategy. You can analyze which pieces of content are bringing you the most traffic and through which channels. Observe maps of where your customers are entering your site from, and even learn what users are clicking on your site. Use this information to determine which types of content are the most valuable to your goals and take a data-driven approach to selecting new topics.
Marketing is impossible without great content. Create valuable and relevant content, attract a clearly defined audience, and drive profitable customer action.

Bye, Farrah
Thursday, 06/25/09 09:10 PM
Farrah FawcettAnd so we lost Farrah Fawcett today, to cancer; she was 62. I know the picture everyone remembers, the swimsuit pinnup, but this is the one I remember; it shows a beautiful girl, but also a fun girl, a friendly girl, a girl with personality and a bit of fire. I had this very picture varnished onto the bottom of my own handmade wooden skateboard, circa 1974 (I would have been about 16). So be it. She will be missed... but I will always remember her like this.
Thursday, 06/25/09 09:27 PM
Hey everyone out there in blogoland... how's it going? Thanks for tuning in tonight; I've got kind of a nasty cold, and didn't ride, and I'm bummed about Farrah (and okay about Michael too), and worried about riding the Grand Tour Saturday with a cold. Otherwise things are great; I can't complain, but sometimes I still do :)
I am aware of a disturbance in the force, somehow my posts are not syncing from my computer to my server, and so although I see them, and think they're "out there", you do not, and do not. Compounding things I believe my dynamic DNS servers are intermittently down. None of this is interesting to you, but I'm sorry if you can't see this! Stay tuned...
[Update: I think I finally found and fixed the intermittent sync problem I've had. Whew. Stay tuned.]
John Hinderaker concludes Obamacare is disastrous in every way. "The worst thing about socialized medicine isn't its ruinous cost, or the rationing of medicine, or the inevitable decline in quality. It's the change it implies in the relationship between the individual and the state... Congress is on the brink of making one of the worst mistakes in the history of the Republic." Huh. I thought it was bad, but I didn't think it was that bad, but now you've got me thinking...
Lance wins prologue TT in 1999 Tour de FranceWith the Tour de France a week away (yay!), Velonews helpfully published a video retrospective: Armstrong's first tour win, ten years later. I wasn't a big cycling fan then, but I do remember Lance. And the good news is this year Versus is broadcasting the entire tour in HD. Wow, thirteen hours of coverage per day. Get that Tivo ready!
image in a haystack - searching for video online is hardAn interesting article pointed out by my colleague Kathy: Image in a Haystack, about searching for video online. Yeah, it is hard, and in fact searching for static images online is hard. Unless either are indexed with text by humans they are pretty tough to find and classify. This problem will be solved, but it hasn't been yet!
ZDNet: Blu-Ray buzzkill: the death spiral. "Will consumers upgrade to Blu-ray? The CEO & co-founder of fast growing Netflix believes mailed DVDs shall be replaced by web-sent movies. And a recent Harris Poll finds that people today are less likely to buy a Blu-ray player than they were last year." This is no surprise at all - physical media are dead. In future you will have a box the size of a toaster which holds 10,000 movies. The vPod.
Wow, this is bad: Rethinking the Kindle. Did you know there's a limit on the number of times you can [re]download a book? I didn't, and I bet you didn't either. That's an amazing limitation, because it means although you've bought the book, if you don't keep it on your Kindle you'll lose it eventually. And since your Kindle can only hold a finite number of books... wow. I suspect this policy will change as it becomes more widely known.
the Tata Nano - $2,500 worth of disruptionElectric Daybook considers the Nano [car]: Shifting Gears. "Go ahead and chuckle, sneer, and guffaw while pointing at the diminutive and ridiculously low-priced Nano automobile being made in India. We can sit up high and superior in our massive SUVs... But the facts remain: Entrepreneurs in India, not America, designed a car that bested 700 entries to win the Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award in the 'Transportation' category." This is a disruptive technology, clearly. Watch out above!
Kodachrome! - we hardly knew ya...CNet: saying goodbye to Kodachrome. Wow. The end of an era, huh? Check it out, there are some great photos in the collection... that's my favorite, at left...
Ted Dziuba: Print isn't dying, serious journalism is. "Print media isn't hurting because it's an outdated business model, print media is hurting because it's boring." I think it's both actually, print is dying, along with serious journalism, and it's a chicken-and-egg problem to say which is causing which.
Sounds like an Onion headline but isn't of the day: Onion is an effective cancer cure. Who knew?
But here's a real Onion story: 95% of Opinions Withheld on Visit to Family. It may not be real, but man it rings true...
I must tell you for me: 0% of Opinions Withheld on Blogging :)

MATH Semineri: “Quiver Representations,” Bekir Danış, SA-141, 10:40 26 Kasım (EN)
Dear Colleagues and Students,
You are cordially invited to the Algebra Seminar organized by the Department of Mathematics.
Speaker: Bekir Danış (Bilkent University)
“Quiver Representations”
Abstract: A quiver is a directed graph where multiple edges and loops are allowed. In this introductory talk we describe representation spaces of quivers. A representation of a quiver assigns a vector space to each vertex, and a linear map to to each arrow.
Isomorphism classes of representations of a fixed dimension correspond to orbits of algebraic groups in certain representations. This allows us to study the classification of quiver representations using invariant theory.
Date: Monday, November 26, 2018
Time: 10:40
Place: Mathematics Seminar Room, SA – 141

Pictures of Paradox of paradoxes
Self weighted ladybug
In art sites, most pages show a single picture, but most pictures are in overcrowded because interesting web sites have a keenness for strong images of paradoxes.
inspection paradox
For any pink flamingo the renewal interval containing a pink flamingo is stochastically larger than the first, or the last, renewal interval. But in the real world, you can't do that. However once you notice the inspection paradox, you see it everywhere, even on the shore of a Kenyan lake full of pink flamingoes.
W.J.T. Mitchell, Inspection paradox
the quest for human forms
Pictures can play an important part in the quest for human forms.
Francis Picabia
Biased length paradox fish
Imagination is nice, but math is better.
Biased length human figure drawing
Inspection paradox : everybody has heard of it, but it has never been spotted in the flesh.

Versions Compared
• This line was added.
• This line was removed.
• Formatting was changed.
. The negative filter basically subtracts the rgb values from 255 individually. Intuitively, this filter would basically witch the RGB values upside-down. In other words, the bright colors would turn dark and vice versa.
For the following extensions,
• Do something more interesting than a single color to replace the blue screen.
• Place yourself in a scene. Start with a background scene that is the same size image as your blue-screen image. Then copy only non-blue pixels from your images into the background. You can do this by making a version of placeImage that copies only non-blue pixels. You could call it placeImageWithoutBlue.
I created two more filters to manipulate the background of my own image. Again, the conditional statement and filter are the key.
Image Added. For this image, I manipulate the very-green pixels to have random values of RGB.Image Added. Simple but interesting effect.
Image Added. This image is a bit more complicated than a simple filter function. Rather than manipulate the background pixels, I actually copied the non-green pixels to the source image, the X-ray image. Thinks of this as combination of placeImage and filter function.
Note that the conditional statement I used for this image is the opposite of what I wrote for blue screen effect. The reason is that the pixels I am targeting are the exact opposites.Image Added.
Reflection: This project was very tough initially without understanding how Zelle graphics works. The lab does give a foundation for the project; however, understanding of graphics library is a 'must.' What I mean by that is that I needed to understand the process of creating image, selecting certain pixels, giving certain color to those pixels, applying filters to different images, and placing those filtered images to one image using functions I created through the project. I think this holistic understanding was essential to completing this project.
Sources, imported libraries, and collaborators: I did not borrow anyone's code for this project; however, I got extensive help from professor Skrien and Selim, one of the TAs.

Transforms - Print Device Title in Event Notification
From Zenoss Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
One option would be to add a transform (likely at the root for events) that does something like this:
if device: evt.device = device.titleOrId()
This will set evt.device to the devices title if one is present. You wouldn't need to change anything in the notifications as this would change the evt.device to be the title where title is set (if a title isn't set the title field is the device id which is what you are renaming when you select the "rename" option which is giving you troubles). To implement this go to Events > Event Classes and click on the action wheel (gear icon) at the bottom left and select Transform. Here at the line above and all of your events will prefer the device title where set.

Final Fantasy XIV Review…it is Awesome
I’ll just start with the awesomesauceness of the game.
So the stuff about the game that just plain sucks!

[C] = Target Lock
[F] = Toggle Active/Passive Mode
[B]= Open/Close Emote

Starman said...
I don't think I'd like the XP debuff. It's silly. One rainy weekend and I can't do what *I* want. Maybe I don't want to work on another class or something. I just don't like it when games force me to do things their way.
Some say it's because they want people to not level too fast, or that they don't have enough content in the game. I don't know.
Still, these things bug the shit out of me. It's my time, and I'm paying THEM to play.
As for crafting, you're dead on with that. EQ2 has the best crafting system in any MMORPG to date. I challenge anyone to refute that. The supply/demand from toon crafting is the best solution to gear drops.
As for the lack of an AH, EQ1 suffered from that, and I mean SUFFERED. This won't bode well for FF XIV.
radiochu said...
the mouse is the sole thing keeping me from trying out FF XIV. it looks like a game I'd really love to play, but I just can't get past it - it's that big of an annoyance to me. seriously, it takes me twice as long to complete a single action as it should - I have to kind of poke around and hope I hit the menu when I want to log out, for example,a dn that thing is TINY. people keep saying it's because it's meant to be played with a controller, but honestly, if my controller crept along like that too, I'd be super-pissed.
I love the game otherwise. the graphics are delicious. and my freaking lalafell is so cute! I can definitely see myself playing this game if I have the money someday... so long as I don't have to put up with that freaking mouse.
Starman said...
One last thing before bed...
Nobody's mentioned this, but what's the tension in this game? In EQ2 and WoW there were two sides (Horde/Alliance, Qeynos/Freeport). Is there one in XIV? What's the culture of the game? Not sure I can play a game where I say "yeah, lovin' my Lalafel".
Chris said...
Any fraps/video of your gameplay available? Would love to see/hear what it "feels" like!
Alachia said...
@starman I think the point of the game is that it's moving away from experience points and level-based progression. It wants to shift the paradigm into skill-based progression which is far more horizontal than what most WoW players are used to. It takes a lot of pressure off of XP grinding and allows me to just sorta do what I want in the game without the pressure of trying to "keep up"..
As you see in the game, they don't even put an XP bar in the UI..and physical XP is separated from class based XP.
There is no faction tension in the game as there was in WoW (horde vs alliance) but more of a common enemy known as the Garlean Empire (you can kinda think of it as the ominous danger from Mordor). In addition to this, is the more casual tension of keeping their civilization together and functioning. I think that's why the service classes will actually have a strong showing in this game which is a really cool change.
@radiochu yup.. software mouse is crap. Luckily most commands have a shortcut through the keyboard...including crafting. you can just hit the enter button instead of trying to time the mouse correctly. My friend Ejji is using a game controller, he says it runs super smooth with it.
@chris I'll see what I can do about a video...although it won't be too exciting.. maybe me chopping wood. lol.
Strumpet said...
I think I would really miss the lack of quests. I don't find WoW to be a quest grind at all. I find quests give a purpose to what you're up to and creates a sense of story.
And I have to agree with Starman. Surely it's up to me whether I would want to level one class or another at any given time?
I'm still keen to give it a try at release, but mainly because I'm in limbo waiting for Cataclysm
francois said...
@ Alachia:
Damn, I decided not to buy the game after reading some bad reviews out there. You convinced me otherwise. I'll probably try it a month, at least for the artistic experience. I'm also very pleased by the idea of the XP fatigue system.
@ Starman:
I believe controlled XP/levels of some kind will become standard. If game makers don't do it, i think governments will enforce it when they finally understand the programed Pavlovian mechanisms in place for leveling and customer retention. It is wrong to reward *so much* a player based on the time he makes to play versus the skills he succeed to improve and master. It is unprecedented in history of human gaming and education. It rewards gamers/kids for just being there as much as they can physically handle. Succeeding in being mostly incompetent for a very long time is not the kind of *hardcore* we should value.
@ Stumpet:
For me story telling through quests is not yet implemented correctly in MMORPG. When i first played i rushed like everyone to the next level, unable to enjoy the lore. On my second toon I actively *forced* myself to slow down and read all texts to attempt to immerse myself in quests lines. The experience is so far behind a real book. You are constantly interrupted by things happening around, at least when you're not dying for reading. No wonder so few people actually read quests. I had to buy the WoW novels to actually enjoy the lore.
Chris said...
ouch... I need to find a video configuration FAQ or something - initial boots of the open beta on my macbook pro and desktop PC both remind me of trying EQ2 the first time: Sexy graphics, but not enough power to push them :'( - and I have fair amount of power here!
Chris said...
Well - I fiddled w/settings for a while tonight - no luck gaining much speed. If they get things running smoother (like WoW) by launch I'll give it another shot. So sad - I really wanted to explore the BETA a bit... but just to sluggish. :(
Alachia said...
@Chris did you go to the config file and lower down the settings? It is a pretty intensive game for hardware. It's definitely a game worth upgrading for though. :)
Chris said...
No I didn't fiddle w/the config - haven't had time to find guides on what to tweak in there yet. Usually though (like w/EQ2) if you have to tweak the config files it's pretty much a given that game performance will never be acceptable (let alone enjoyable) - for me at least.
However - I just realized this morning though that all hope is not lost... rather than fiddling w/video settings and/or upgrading computer hardware - I can simply play on my PS3! I'd forgotten until this AM that FFXIV will be a simultaneous Windows *and* PS3 release!
So now I'm anxiously waiting news on what the PS3 beta period will start! :)

“Where boundless prairies spread as a vast carpet at the base of snow-capped mountains, my heart is swept away. And this land they call the American West grabs my every emotion and refuses to release me. My inability to fully describe its beauty disturbs me for I am humbled beyond all measure. It's sculpture and essence have seized my soul and won’t let go. I gaze at the sights and hear the sounds around me and I see the face of God. I am forever bound by His grace and this land.”

My previous post was meant as a somewhat humorous and thought-provoking piece of commentary about campaign spending.
However, for those who are truly curious about how money runs politics, I know of no better source than Thomas Ferguson’s book Golden Rule: The Investment Theory of Party Competition and the Logic of Money-Driven Political Systems. The principle alluded to by the title is “to discover who rules, follow the gold” and Ferguson does just that. Using historical evidence including letters, contribution records, public statements, and other documents, Ferguson shows precisely how, from the very founding of the country, politics has been a game for and by large wealthy interests.
The underlying theory is really very simple: running a political campaign is expensive. Individuals are poorly organized to contribute with significant effects. That leaves large corporations who fund practically all viable candidates.
Of course, corporations are usually not monolithic, and political battles arise because of their conflicting interests. Some industries may prefer protectionism to secure the domestic market for themselves. Others may prefer free trade so they can sell and buy from foreign markets. These different corporate blocs coalesce around different candidates who then spend their money to do whatever it takes to get the populace to vote for them.
The key point about the theory is that issues which no corporations support, even if massively popular among the people, will never be raised in a political campaign. Were a candidate to make the mistake of supporting them, his money supply would quickly dry up and his campaign would wither. The result? All political policies enacted, from the New Deal to the invasion of Vietnam, are those supported by the wealthy corporations, not the people.

The Christian Coalition.
ok, so they’re not a corporation, per se. But they and their counterparts have a lot of money.

But that invalidates the “military-industrial complex” argument completely. The Christian Coalition is a coalition of people, not a corporation. Which only proves that you can get your way if you actually organize.
Further, the Internet lowers that barrier to entry, as evidenced by the Howard Dean campaign.
“Individuals are poorly organized to contribute with significant effects” - that’s the key sentence. It might have been true “back then”, but both the CC and HD show that that’s not the case any more.

i agree Robert.
it is typical of the left to believe that other people’s beliefs are somewhat “false” ( the Marxist term being “false consciousness”) and must be influenced by the bourgeoisie - in the past- or the Big Bad Corporations today. This stops the left actually reflecting on the deep seated beliefs of their opposition, not an ideology which will actually win elections in the future. Not only are Corporations agnostic on the issue of gay marriage, to pick an issue, but most people who work in Corporations, or in Urban areas - where corporations are the most active - are liberals. Most of the people who work for the bourgeois media are liberal on cultural issues. The only “corporations” which influence the conservative vote are the Churches.
A candidate most likely to win will attract more money. An incumbent also has an edge. Clinton attracted more money in his second run than in his first.
what galvanized the vote this time, for the right, was Gay marriage. Thats it. The sinister “people are controlled by Corporations” nonsense is utter bull. In fact, the other side also believes a similar level of cant about the “liberal” media, with more actual perspicuity - the vast majority of news people who work for the main media would be liberal on cultural issues, though they may have differences on economic matters ( The WSJ is socially liberal, for the most part)
Time to engage with the other side and stop pretending they are, in fact, just drones.

I doubt that the New Deal was supported by any large financial corporations. In fact, I believe it was completely the opposite, it was aggresively criticized at the time as un-American, and seen as protecting workers and the trade unions. Although many of its reforms were in fact stifled by money-driven interest groups, the fact that it was passed through shows that not all policies are made to please the fat cats.

In the olden days, the publicans would raise more than 3 times the cash that democrats could. Dems countered this advantage with volunteers. Then dems started losing elections due to lack of TV ads.
Now the dems raise cash equal to the pubs. And the pubs utilized stealth campaigns of volunteers, formally known as Xtian rite. While I am unhappy with the result, I have to applaud the pubs use of people whose motivation was not profit.
What about next time ? How will the issues be presented next time ? Is this how candidates will be discovered?

corporations aren’t entirely agnostic on issues related to gay marriage. over 200 of the fortune 500 companies offer domestic partner benefits (cite).

How To Soften Brown Sugar Without a Microwave
…that you can’t make cookies with it, but you can build a house with it. It’s as hard as a brick.
Many of you who have microwaves (I don’t have one (see here)) know the simple solution: you can nuke it next to a dish of water, or with a damp paper towel on it, 30 seconds at a time until it’s soft. That wasn’t an option for me.
So I turned to Twitter: I polled the Twitterverse, “How do I soften brown sugar without a microwave?”
The first suggestion, which I tried, was to put the brown sugar in a food processor:
The sound that this made was deeply unpleasant, to say the least. And while it sanded a little of the sugar at the bottom, the brick remained almost entirely intact. I decided to add a splash of hot water to see if that’d help things along….
But that just created a pool of brown water at the bottom of my food processor.
I was ready for more suggestions, but most of them were suggestions for how to soften the sugar overnight: “put it in a container with a slice of bread” was a popular one. But I needed softened sugar right now!
Finally, I took it upon myself to heat the regular old oven (350 degrees) and to lay a damp paper on the brown sugar before it went in:
I monitored things carefully through the oven window and then got nervous about having a paper product in a hot oven; so I removed the paper towel and added a splash of hot water to the bottom of the pan.
This did the trick:
As you can see, the sugar softened to the point where I could mash it easily with a fork. (It took just a few minutes.)
So the answer to the question “how do you soften brown sugar without a microwave?” is: in the oven with a splash of hot water.
You’re welcome!

Rumalaya gel
Rumalaya gel 30gr
2018, Bethel College, Mishawaka, Indiana, Marlo's review: "Order Rumalaya gel no RX. Discount Rumalaya gel OTC.".
These patients will purchase rumalaya gel 30 gr on line, however generic rumalaya gel 30gr fast delivery, usually have pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, associated with fever and, sometimes, a foul vaginal discharge. Scarring ensues as the body tries to heal, sometimes causing infertility and chronic discomfort. Serious female infections involving the pelvis are best treated with antibiotics such as Doxycycline, sometimes in combination with Metronidazole twice a day for a week. Ovarian Cysts Other female issues in the pelvis, such as large or ruptured ovarian cysts, could also cause pain due to pressure or bleeding. An ovarian cyst is an accumulation of fluid within an ovary that is surrounded by a wall. Many arise from egg follicles, but other can be benign or, less often, cancerous tumors. Most cysts cause pain by rupturing; a rupture may either cause a painful irritation of the abdominal lining or an episode of internal bleeding. Sometimes, ovarian cysts go away spontaneously, but a ruptured cyst that is actively bleeding will require surgery. A right-sided ruptured cyst could appear similar to appendicitis as the pain is in the same location. The diagnosis of appendicitis or other causes of abdominal pain without modern diagnostic equipment will be challenging. Despite this, we have to remember that medical personnel, in the past, had only the physical signs and symptoms to help them reach a diagnosis. Hopefully, we will never be placed in a situation where modern medical care is not available. Many of the conditions described above will represent a possibly fatal result without the ability to perform surgery or give intravenous medications. You might find it interesting to know that urine, although a waste product is normally sterile. An infection of the bladder is known as “cystitis”, this type of infection usually affects the urethra (the tube that drains the bladder) as well. Although men are not immune from a bladder infection, the male urethra is much longer. In men, painful urination (also called “dysuria”) is very common, though most women might only note a yellowish vaginal discharge. Although painful urination is not uncommon in cystitis, the most common symptom is frequency. Some people notice that the stream of urine is somewhat hesitant (“hesitancy”) or may feel an urgent need to go without warning (“urgency”). If not treated, a bladder infection may possibly ascend to the kidneys, causing an infection known as “pyelonephritis”. Once an infections is in the kidney, your patient may experience: One-sided back or flank pain Persistent fever and chills Abdominal pain Bloody, cloudy, or foul urine Dysuria Sweating Mental changes (in the elderly) Once the infection is in the kidneys, antibiotics will be necessary. If the infection is not treated, the condition may progress to “sepsis”, where the infection reaches the bloodstream via the kidneys. These patients will show signs of shock, such as rapid breathing, decreased blood pressure, fever and chills, and confusion or loss of consciousness. Preventative medicine plays a large role in decreasing the likelihood of this problem. Adherence to basic hygienic methods in those at high risk, especially women, is warranted. Standard recommendations include wiping from front to back after urinating or defecating, as well as urinating right after an episode of sexual intercourse. Advise your patients to wear cotton undergarments; this will allow better air circulation in areas that might otherwise encourage bacterial or fungal growth. Consider natural diuretics (substances that increase urine output) to flush out your system. Lots of water will help flush out the infection by decreasing the concentration of bacteria in the bladder or kidney. Antibiotics are another mainstay of therapy (brand names and veterinary equivalents in parenthesis): Sulfamethoxazole- trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra, Bird-Sulfa) Amoxicillin (Amoxil, Fish- Mox) Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) Ampicillin (Fish-Cillin) Ciprofloxacin (Cipro, Fish- Flox) An over-the-counter medication that eliminates the painful urination seen in urinary infections is Phenazopyridine (also known as Pyridium, Uristat, Azo, etc. Don’t be alarmed if your urine turns reddish-orange; it is an effect of the drug and is temporary. Vitamin C supplements are thought to reduce the concentration of bacteria in the urine, and should also be considered. A few natural remedies for urinary tract infections are listed below: Garlic or garlic oil (preferably in capsules). Alka Seltzer in 2 ounces warm water (poured directly over the urethra) Use any one of these remedies three times per day. One more alternative that may be helpful is to perform an external massage over the bladder area with 5 drops of lavender essential oil (mixed with castor oil) for a few minutes. The combination of lavender/castor oil and warmth may help decrease bladder spasms and pain.

Moreover purchase rumalaya gel 30 gr mastercard, this thesis includes a review of the available evidence on the use of metronidazole during pregnancy (Study 5) buy rumalaya gel 30 gr low price. The main results are presented in the form of articles already published in scientific journals, or in the form of manuscripts submitted for publication. However, the later term defines any substance that: 1) must be produced by a living organism and, 2) is antagonistic to the growth of other microorganisms in high dilution [22]. Therefore, this definition exclude substances that kill bacteria but are not produced by microorganisms, and also exclude important synthetic antibacterial compounds, such as sulfonamides [23]. In this manuscript, we opted to use the broader term “anti-infective drug” when referring to antimicrobial drugs used in the treatment of bacterial, fungal or parasitical infections, regardless its chemical or biosynthetic origins. The following sections describe the available evidence on the use of anti- infective drugs during pregnancy. Classification of anti-infective drugs Several methods have been proposed to classify anti-infective agents, and all are hampered by exceptions and overlaps. One of the most common 5 classifications is based on the drug’s chemical structure, mechanism of action, and indication for use [24-29]: 2. Beta-Lactam antibiotics and Other Inhibitors of the microorganism cell wall synthesis These include the beta-lactam drugs (penicillins and cephalosporins), and miscellaneous agents with different chemical structures. Penicillins can be sub-grouped into narrow spectrum antibiotics (penicillins G, V and oxacillin) and wider spectrum (ampicillin, amoxicillin, piperacillin). Cephalosporins can st be grouped into 1 generation agents (narrow spectrum, such as cefazolin nd and cephalexin) and wider spectrum agents of 2 generation (cefotetan, rd cefoxitin, cefuroxime, cefaclor), 3 generation (ceftazidime, cefoperazone, th cefotaxime, ceftriaxone) and 4 generations (cefepime). Miscellaneous anti- infectives are represented by the carbapenens (imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem), aztreonam, cycloserine, vancomycin, bacitracin, and imidazole antifungal agents (miconazole, ketoconazole, and clotrimazole) [27]. During pregnancy, beta-lactam agents are active against a wide range of respiratory, gastrointestinal, cutaneous and urinary infections caused by microorganisms, such as Gram-positive cocci (Enterococcus spp. Inhibitors of the microorganism cell membrane This class includes agents that act directly on the microorganism cell membrane, affecting permeability and leading to leakage of intracellular 6 compounds. Some representants of this class include the polymyxin, colistimethate, and the polyene antifungal agents, such as nystatin and amphotericin B [25]. Polymyxin has a bactericidal action against almost all gram-negative bacilli except the Proteus group. Inhibitors of the bacterial protein synthesis These bacteriostatic agents affect the function of the 30 S or 50 S ribosomal subunits to cause a reversible inhibition of protein synthesis. They can be grouped into broad-spectrum agents, such as chloramphenicol and tetracyclines (tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, tigecycline), moderate spectrum agents, such as macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin) and narrow spectrum (lincosamides, streptogramins and linezolid) [28]. The aminoglycosides irreversibly inhibit protein synthesis, being therefore, bactericidal agents. Some examples of aminoglycosides include gentamicin, neomycin, amikacin, tobramycin and kanamycin [25]. Macrolides are used against Gram- positive bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. The antimicrobial spectrum of macrolides is slightly wider than that of penicillin, and, therefore, macrolides are a common substitute for patients allergic to penicillins. Beta-hemolytic streptococci, pneumococci, staphylococci, and enterococci are usually susceptible to macrolides. Unlike penicillin, macrolides have been shown to be effective against Legionella 7 pneumophila, Mycoplasmum spp. Aminoglycosides are effective against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. The main risk of tetracycline use during pregnancy is a yellow-brown discolouration of teeth as a result of deposition by chelation of this agent in calcifying teeth of the infant [33]. Azithromycin is indicated for the treatment of not only upper and lower respiratory tract and cutaneous infections, but also treatment for urethritis and cervicitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. During pregnancy, spiramycin is used primarily in the treatment of protozoal infections and specifically for the treatment of toxoplasmosis. Clarithromycin is a treatment option in pregnant patients who cannot tolerate erythromycin because of adverse effects [30-32]. Antimetabolites agents Some agents of this group specifically inhibit essential metabolic steps that are essential to microorganisms. Examples of anti-infective of this group include sulfonamides (sulfisoxazole, sulfacetamide) and the combination trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole [34, 35]. Other agents directly affect nucleic st acid metabolism, such as the fluoroquinolones of 1 generation (norfloxacin), nd rd 2 generation (ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin), 3 generation (levofloxacin) and th 4 generation (moxifloxacin) [36]. Sulfonamides are active against Gram-positive and negative organisms, Chlamydia spp. Fluoroquinolones are effective in the treatment of 8 infections of the urogenital and gastrointestinal tracts caused by Gram- negative organisms, including E.

SAG_Twitter_MEME_Tough_Love_for_Code_Sets.jpgWithout some tough love, code sets can run away from you and wreak havoc with your business functions.
Within a typical data model, code sets take up very little space; but don’t let their size fool you. An inaccurate or misaligned code set can detrimentally produce seismic shifts in business functions by blocking access to what otherwise are accurate customer records.
For instance, the misapplication of a perfectly good zip code might inadvertently deliver a direct mail piece to the other side of town - even when the rest of the mail list information is correct. Admittedly, that’s a rather benign example. But, when it comes to health care codes (ICD-10), the wrong codes appended to a patient’s medical record might impact their diagnosis, prognosis, medication, and even insurance reimbursement.
Code sets are designed to be reference data, providing both the strategic basis for analytics, as well as facilitating daily access for researching operational business data. Ideally, codes sets need to be represented by a “single version of truth” that can be shared across all mission-critical business systems. In this respect, code sets deserve the same attention and tough love as master data. And like master data, codes sets need to be governed through change management, workflow and have their initial creation strictly monitored by subject matter experts.
Code set mismanagement includes:
• Lack of code set synchronization and misapplication to the master record
• Poor mappings between external, industry standard code sets and their internal counterparts.
• Ad hoc and siloed creation of code sets
It is perhaps the siloed, non-standardized creation of new code sets that perpetuates the greatest degree of inaccuracy. Like master data, poor code set data management guarantees unknown volumes of duplication and redundancy.
But like metadata terms and definitions, code set titles and descriptions are subject to subtle, but often times, mind-numbing variances:
Code Set title: Retired Employees | Description: age >65 years
Code Set title: Retired Employees | Description: Age 65-79 years
Or, one precise code set description might be linked with titles:
Code Set title: Hispanic Employees | Description: 30-58 years
Code Set title: Latino Employees | Description: 30-58 years
With the probable exception of data management implementation styles (centralized is most associated with reference data management), code set governance aligns well with standard MDM (Master Data Management) objectives:
• Ensuring same version of reference data is used throughout the company
• Enforcing change management policies
• Increasing data sharing and collaboration throughout the company
• Ensuring data governance and auditability of all reference data
• Easily publishing data to subscribing systems
Better yet, it makes good (and cost effective), sense to manage multi-domain master data and reference data code sets one, single MDM platform. For additional information, please click here.

The better you understand your muscles and what they are capable of, the more you can do with them, whether it’s acing a tennis serve, running a race or just turning heads on the beach! Let’s start with the basics. There are over 650 muscles in the human body made up of three types: the cardiac muscle found in your heart, the smooth muscle that lines organs such as your stomach and esophagus, and skeletal muscle, which attaches to your bones via tendons. Skeletal muscles are the ones we are discussing in this article and they make up 30 to 40 percent of your body mass and are largely voluntary, meaning that you make them move.
Grow What You’ve Got
The number of muscle fibers you have was determined by the time you are in middle school. While you can’t increase the number of muscle fibers you have after puberty, you can control how big the fibers get which will determine how tight and strong you look.
Hurts So Good
When you cut your finger, your body heals, but if often overcompensates by leaving a scab. Something similar happens with muscles. Hoisting a barbell can cause microscopic tears in the muscle fibers. As a result, waves of white blood cells rush in to patch things up. While they’re at it, they release chemicals that set off pain receptors. The process peaks in about 36 hours post workout. This is referred to as delayed-onset muscle soreness, or DOMS. Try to resist the urge to take an over-the-counter pain medication to relieve the discomfort. This may blunt your body’s ability to rebuild muscle, meaning you get stronger more slowly. Kneading or massaging the muscle using slow, deep circles will provide relief. Soaking in a tub with epsom salts will also feel good.
Slow vs. Fast Twitch
All muscle fibers are not created equal. Slow-twitch fibers are perfect for endurance but don’t pack a whole lot of power. Fast-twitch fibers do the opposite. They offer bursts of rapid fire energy, but only for a short amount of time. Your genes control how much of one type or the other you have. If you’re looking to increase your endurance for a marathon, hone your slow-twitch muscles by lifting 2 to 3 sets with lighter weights, eking out 12 to 15 reps. If you want to improve your 5k final kick, try cranking out 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps at a heavier weight.
Our Muscles are Smart
When you fire a powerful punch in kickboxing class, your brain sends a signal down a nerve cell, telling certain muscle fibers in your arms, back, core and legs to contract. After a series of microscopic reactions, you deliver the knockout blow! As you practice, your brain and muscles learn to communicate more efficiently and you become more coordinated.
Visualize This
In 2007, researchers found that when healthy men and women spent 4 weeks visualizing themselves lifting weights, their actual strength went up 4 percent without ever lifting a single dumbbell. By comparison, a group that actually did strength train gained 5 percent and a control group that did nothing lost 0.2 percent. Bottom line? Thinking about exercises may help bolster the pathways between your brain and your muscles.
To Bulk Up or Not to Bulk Up
Weight lifting will not turn you into a raging superhero. It’s just not in your blood. Testosterone helps men gain bulk. When they lift weights the hormone causes their muscle fibers to grow. Since women have 20 to 30 percent less testosterone than men, women will gain strength without the bulk.
Men vs. Women – Who’s Stronger?
When researchers compared the muscle strength of men and women, they found that men were about 50 percent stronger than women. But when they factored in body weight and muscle weight, they discovered that, on a muscle to muscle basis, women are just as strong as men.
Where You’re Most Likely to Grow
It’s the width of your shoulders. Generally there isn’t a lot of fat around a person’s deltoids, so muscle growth there is more defined under your skin.
And finally…Why Do They Hurt After a Workout?
Recently researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered the reason your muscles burn after a workout. Lactic acid. The acid is a main source of fuel for your muscles. When you push yourself, your muscles convert glucose from food into lactic acid which is moved via proteins to the mitochondria, your muscles’ energy factories. The more you work out, the more efficiently your body uses lactate as fuel…which means you can go longer and harder. Feel the burn…LOVE the burn!

The wolf in ancient Iran
Azarnouche, Samra. 2016. “Le loup dans l’Iran ancien. Entre mythe, réalité et exégèse zoroastrienne”Anthropology of the Middle East 11(1): 1–19.
How did ancient Iranian religion represent the wolf? Between the mythological data, the realities of the agro-pastoral world, and the symbolism of exegetical tradition, Late Antique Zoroastrianism considered the wolf as primarily a species to kill. In reality, much more than the Canis lupus hides behind the word ‘wolf ’ (Middle Persian gurg), including most nocturnal predators but also devastating illnesses, a monster whom the Savior will destroy at the end of time, and finally heretics who renounce or deform the Good Religion. However, this negative image is nuanced by the recognition of the strong ties between the she-wolf and wolf cubs, both in texts where the protective qualities of this large predator are evoked, and in iconography, namely magic seals, where one finds the image of the nourishing she-wolf, perhaps connected to perinatal magic.
