By T. Vaden Warren, Jr.
Okay, you drive up to a red light intersection with two lanes. In the right lane next to you there is a car with no one in the driver or front passenger seats. You do, however, see a person in the back, left-side, passenger seat. As soon as you realize what you are seeing, the traffic light turns green and the car to your right drives away.
You are sure that what you saw was an illusion or hallucination. It wasn’t either. Not many people are aware that the automobile industry has been working on driverless technology for years. There are already a number of automobiles that have the technology that keeps cars in their lanes and avoid accidents. These automobiles are equipped with a steering wheel and pedals. The new driverless car has neither and does not run on gasoline.
There are a number of automobile manufacturers working on the autonomous car, but Google’s self-driving car, “The Google Chauffer,” is the first driverless car project on the brink of having driverless automobiles on city streets soon. These autonomous cars will be sensored and computer powered and will not have a steering wheel, pedals or use gasoline. Even though fully driverless automobiles will not be available for sale to the public in the near future, Google hopes to have 100 Google self-driving cars on public roads by this time next year for further testing and tweaking.
Because of the unknown of the driverless car pertaining to auto accidents, most believe that the liability will shift to the car manufacturer if an accident with a driverless car happens. Liability could be negligence, design defects and manufacturing defects – just to name a few.
Virginia still has law that is rarely applicable, that a sudden emergency causing an accident is not negligence of the driver. This could mean that if a self driven car, causes a car accident in Virginia, the owner of the vehicle may not be responsible. Of course if self driven cars become more prevalent, Virginia personal injury law would need to change to keep of with the times.
At this time, there are two known driverless car accidents. In 2011 a “human-controlled” Google driverless car was involved in a crash. Before that accident, another “human-controlled” Google driverless car rear-ended another car while at a stop light. It is stated, by Google, that these accidents were not the fault of the driverless car, but of the human operating it.
Many states are working on laws permitting the use of autonomous cars on their streets. At this time, three are only three states that fully permit the testing of the driverless car on city streets. In March 2012, Nevada became the first state to pass the law and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for an autonomous car in May 2012 to a Toyota Prius, modified with Google’s experimental driverless technology. In April 2012, Florida became the second state and in September 2012, California became the third state. Michigan signed legislation allowing the testing of self-driving cars in December 2012. The Michigan legislation (unlike Nevada, Florida and California) requires a human in the driver seat at all times.
One thing is certain, if driverless cars become common reality, then the landscape of car accident injury cases in Virginia and the rest of the country will change dramatically.
So, if you are stopped at a traffic light and the car next to you have no driver, don’t think you are hallucinating – it’s the wave of the future and the future is now.

Routinely collected patient electronic medical record (EMR) data are approaching the genomic scale in volume and complexity and is increasingly recognized as a valuable resource for clinical research to answer questions for broader populations than would have ever been possible with a specialized research environment. However, the number of distinct clinical variables recorded in the EMR can easily go up to the thousands and most of these variables are not exploited in traditional predictive modeling as they typically deal with the complexity by selecting a limited number of commonly collected variables or clinician curated predictor variables. Machine learning can be an efficient approach to incorporate the entire EMR in identifying the important risk factors and effects of their interactions on diseases. In this presentation, Dr. Mei Liu will discuss how machine learning methods can facilitate EMR data-driven risk factor discovery for kidney disease.

Basseterre, St.Kitts (December 2016):- Old and recent conflicts between King AYAH TOLLAH and certain prime local musicians resulted in the calypsonian not performing in this year’s Senior Calypso Monarch competition.
First it was at Tent level. Bad communication and ill feelings resulted in Ayah Tollah’s song not getting the musical arrangement necessary for the upcoming live stages of the competition.
“They got me in a spin from the Tent dates and gave me the total run around right up to the 11th hour of the Eliminations. Eventually they announced that due to some old, bad, unfinished business between myself and some musicians, they had made the decision not to work with me and not to arrange my songs for the upcoming carnival shows.
Their defense was that my many years in the calypso should have taught me better and they could justify their action not to raise a finger to work with me and inevitably block me from this year’s Senior Calypso Monarch competition.
Earlier this year I made an agreement with John Francis and his DanceBEAT Records to work with him as my Producer, Manager, Publisher. He has for some years been pushing me to approach my career in fresh ways. His involvement now covers all aspects of my musical career.
“The current stand off by some Carnival official backing musicians with Ayah Tollah and his non-appearance in this year’s competition has resulted in a complete change of plan to get Ayah Tollah’s new music to the people. The Calypso Monarch Competition is not the beginning nor the end.
The proof of success of a good calypso is when a song can still reach and the hearts and minds of the public long after Last Lap.
It’s my job to build and implement a strategy that will make that happen”, comments John Francis.

Rain rolled down the windshield, but my vision still seemed impaired when I stepped out of my car.
I saw a wet field of grass, with tall, dripping trees, and a blur of tunics, cloaks and chainmail darting through the trunks. As I approached, and my vision seemed to get worse, the Sun broke through the clouds, flashing on damp shields and swords as they spun and twisted and clashed in the rain. In those brief moments, I wasn’t in Utah and it wasn’t the 21st century.
I had stumbled onto combat practice for the Watchmen of Ered Duath, a realm within the Belegarth Medieval Combat Society. This realm, along with hundreds of others all around the world, endeavors to bring the Dark Ages to the light. Each member adopts a persona, dons period-specific garb, wields a foam-covered weapon and battles to win their guild favor among the expansive community of neo-Medievalists.
Watching the group fight as the Sun dove into the hills, I saw people from every walk of life. Ages ranged from 14 to 40-somethings, and attire spanned the entire gamut from chainmail to Killswitch Engage t-shirts. Some wore tunics and cloaks, others wore basketball shorts and sneakers. As I watched, a Jeep filled with high schoolers sped by yelling obscenities at the group. And yet they kept fighting, completely un-phased. I couldn’t tell if they were oblivious to the profanity or if it was so commonplace that it no longer ruffled their feathers. Either way, I was impressed at their general lack of concern for the negativity that had been thrown at them. There was something magnetic about Belegarth that drew in a wide variety of people—and then kept them there.
The Watchmen of Ered Duath (or the “Watchmen of the Shadow Mountains” in Elvish) has been an active realm for over 20 years. Other realms in the surrounding area have come and gone, but the Watchmen have remained in full force. The exact recipe for a successful, cohesive realm is hard to pin down, but each member I talked to mentioned that the personalities within their group, although obscure, were warm and open to everyone. And if a group doesn’t meld socially, they said, it will split apart.
Their convictions rang in my ears as I walked back to my car, and back to the 21st century.

Is it just me that still thinks it's weird that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are together?! I don't know, I think everyone else has now accepted the Yeezus- Kim K pairing, but I for one think it's still super random. But hey, I do think North West is pretty darn cute though, so I guess it worked out for the best. Well, Yeezus walks again (or rides a motorcycle this time) in his new music video "Bound 2" that came out this week, and it has been definitely causing up quite the stirry in media with people speculating Kim K got a little digi slimdown for the video. I really like the song and really like the plaid on plaid outfit Kanye wears in it too. So I wish that he would've let the greatness of the song speak for itself in the video instead of plopping a naked Kim in there to get more attention. But alas, media is media and as he is a "genius", he knew exactly what he was doing. Check out the video for yourself and let me know your thoughts below!

As a Christian-Armenian living in Iran I witnessed a revolution, lived through a devastating war and escaped terrifying political and religious persecution.
Life in the United States seemed full of promise but it proved to be full of challenges.

When you talk to Jauffre, he asks you to join the Blades. You have to agree if you want to continue playing the main quest. You start out at the rank of Knight Brother and provide you with the Akaviri Katana, the traditional weapon of the Blades. Ask Jauffre about the Amulet of Kings and he'll tell you to go to Luther Broad's Boarding House in the Imperial city and talk to Baurus. He might have the information you need.
Now that you're a member of the Blades, it would be a good idea to explore this temple. Taking the items is no longer considered stealing. Stock up on supplies, arrows, potions, and anything else that catches your fancy.
Travel to the Elven Gardens district in the Imperial City. Locate the boarding house and go in. Baurus will be sitting on a stool at the bar. Sit down and listen to what he says. Wait for the guy in the corner to follow Baurus and then follow that shady character. They both go into the basement. Follow them down.
Down in the basement, the man you followed attacks Baurus. Kill him and Baurus will tell you to search his body. Grab the Mythic Dawn Commentaries and your journal will update. Talk to Baurus again and he'll explain what just happened. Tell him about Martin and he'll give you your next objective. You are to talk to Tar-Meena at the Arcane University. She is an expert in daedric cults and may be able to tell you more about how to find the Mythic Dawn that apparently has been causing all of this commotion.
The Arcane University is in the Imperial City on the southeast side. Go into the large tower to the Arch-Mage's Lobby. Tar-Meena is an Argonian. Talk to her for help. She tells you that you'll need all four volumes of the Mythic Dawn Commentaries if you want to find the cult. You have the first volume. She gives you the second one. She recommends going to the Market District to look for help tracking down the third and fourth volumes.
Go to the First Edition bookstore and ask about Mystarium Xerxes. Phintias tells you that the 3rd and 4th volumes are impossible to find. However, he has volume three, but it is already promised to another buyer. Ask him about volume three again and he'll agree to sell it to you for 100 gold. Next, ask him about Gwinas, the man who had special ordered volume three. Phintias tells you that Gwinas was very interested in the book, but was late picking it up. Wait for him in the store to talk so that you can talk to this book collector about his obsession.
When Gwinas shows up, Phintias tells him that he doesn't have the book anymore which quite upsets the collector. Talk to Gwinas about volume three and he'll tell you how angry he is. Next, tell him that you're looking for volume four. Continue talking to him and eventually he'll give you a note that the Mythic Dawn gave him. Read the note and it will tell you to go to the Sunken Sewers under the Elven Gardens. Follow the main tunnel until you reach the room with the table and chair. Sit down and wait there and the "Sponsor" will give you what you need.
You might want to read through the Commentaries. Reading Book 1 will increase your Conjuration skill. Book 2 will increase your Destruction skill. Book 3 will increase your Illusion skill.
Next, go back to the Elven Gardens and meet Baurus where you left him. Once you tell him about the books, talk to him about the sewers. He'll tell you that there are entrances to them in every district and that they are used by the Blades to travel around in. Follow Baurus and he'll lead you into the sewers.
Down in the sewers, keep following Baurus as he takes out the small creatures that inhabit the region. When you reach the small room with the chair you have the option to meet the Sponsor if you insist. Enter the room and sit down in the chair. If you allow Baurus to conduct the meeting, he'll sit on the chair and you'll take the perch up the stairs.
Regardless of which route you take, a fight breaks out when more Mythic Dawn agents appear at the top area where the hiding Blade is. We suggest going up to the top as it will allow you to initiate the fight rather than waiting for the fight to come to you. Go into sneak mode and fire a poisoned arrow down at Raven Camoran while he is talking to Baurus. The fight will break out, but the initial damage you gave with put things decisively in your favor. Baurus might die during the fight. If he does, search all of the bodies yourselves to get some nice loot. Make sure you search Raven's body to get the Mythic Dawn Commentaries Volume 4 and the Sunken Sewers key. Give volume four a read to increase your Mysticism skill.
Continue through the gate that the Agents came out of to find a Mythic Dawn hideout full of great items. Once you have everything, go back out the way you came.
Back up on the streets, take your four volumes of the commentaries and go see Tar-Leena at the Academy again. Ask her about Mythic Dawn and she'll tell you to come back in 24 hours after she's had some time to think. When you ask her the next day, she has "discovered" that the first letter of each paragraph might be important. Wait another 24 hours to find out what her next nugget of wisdom is. Give her the 3rd and 4th volumes. She'll read off the first letters of each paragraph to spell, "Green Emperor Way Where Tower Touches Midday Sun." She then tells you that something must be happening at the Green Emperor Way by the Imperial Tower at noon.
Go to the Imperial City Palace and follow the green nav point to find the meeting location. Wait near the tomb until noon. At noon, a map of Cyrodiil will appear on the Tomb of Prince Camarril. Walk up to it and activate it to complete this quest and begin the next one.

Nov. 21 on a snowy, cold night in West Des Moines, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio held a campaign rally at Noah’s Event Venue. Thirty minutes before the event started, the venue’s primary and secondary parking lots were almost entirely full. Although a few presidential candidates had cancelled events across Iowa after the first snowfall of the year, the snow did not discourage Rubio diehards. The rally was held in a ballroom outfitted with American and Iowa flags; when Rubio was giving his speech he looked a bit like General Patton in front of the American flag delivering his infamous “Speech to the Third Army” minus the military uniform.
The crowd at this rally was almost entirely caucasian. I tried to find people of color in the crowd, and by the end of the night I had counted three. This could be an effect of Iowa’s lack of diversity, a point often brought up when arguing against Iowa’s first-in-the-nation status, or it may be an indicator of Rubio’s inability to garner support from minorities, at least in Iowa.
The crowd also had a large amount of children in attendance, no doubt with their parents, but many seemed captivated by Rubio, at least for the first 20 minutes.
This was the largest event I had attended so far this election cycle and it was way different than all the others I have gone to. First, there was the hip-level barrier covered in a blue, velvety fabric that separated guests and supporters from Rubio. I realize its use in getting Rubio in and out of the ballroom quickly and safely but it seemed a little standoffish since it kept Rubio a good five feet away from guests unless he approached the barricade. Prior to Rubio’s arrival there was stiff competition for a spot on the barricade, which meant that me and my 5-foot-1 inch build were quickly pushed to the back of the crowd. Once Rubio arrived, four teenage girls immediately left after shaking his hand until the end of the event when they returned to shake hands with Rubio again. The event’s casual and laid-back atmosphere was a huge surprise to me; this was the first event I’ve attended where the majority in attendance are not in suits or blazers. Most guests were in jeans and looked like they could be heading to the movies or out to dinner after.
Rubio received big laughs when he called the NFL commissioner the real power in the United States. Throughout his speech he made multiple jokes about college and professional football. When discussing Medicare and Social Security reform, Rubio said he would ask Americans to retire later and had the audience laughing when he claimed that at 68 he would still be one of the youngest senators in Congress. That laughter turned to applause when Rubio corrected himself and said that he also would no longer be president.
Rubio hit all his major points, a generational choice, unite the party, rebuild the military, repeal Obamacare, and higher-education reform. There were no seats in the ballroom and 45 minutes into Rubio’s speech the crowd was getting pretty restless. While people were may have been ready for the speech to end, almost everyone stayed and waited for an opportunity to shake hands or get an autograph. There were two college-aged men that referred to themselves as autograph collectors; each had three prints they were hoping to get signed to add to their collections.

A new screening process could dramatically accelerate the identification of nanoparticles suitable for delivering therapeutic RNA into living cells. The technique would allow researchers to screen hundreds of nanoparticles at a time, identifying the organs in which they accumulate - and verifying that they can successfully deliver an RNA cargo into living cells.
Based on work known as "DNA barcoding," the technique inserts unique snippets of DNA into as many as 150 different nanoparticles for simultaneous testing. The nanoparticles are then injected into animal models and allowed to travel to organs such as the liver, spleen or lungs. Genetic sequencing techniques then identify which DNA-labeled nanoparticles have reached specific organs.
In a paper published October 1 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a research team describes taking the process a step farther to verify that the nanoparticles have entered the cells of the specific organs. In addition to the DNA barcode, the researchers inserted into each nanoparticle a snippet of mRNA that is turned into a protein known as "Cre." The Cre protein generates a red glow, identifying cells that the nanoparticles have entered and successfully delivered the mRNA drug, allowing the researchers to identify which nanoparticles can deliver RNA drugs to the cells of the specific organs.
"This technique, known as Fast Indication of Nanoparticle Discovery (FIND), will allow us to identify the right carrier far more quickly and less expensively than we have been able to do in the past," said James E. Dahlman, assistant professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. "As a result, the odds that we will be able to find carriers for specific tissues should increase dramatically."
The FIND technique would replace in vitro screening, which has limited success at identifying nanoparticle carriers for the genetic therapies. The research was supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health, and from the Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation and the Bayer Hemophilia Awards Program.
In the paper, the researchers report discovering two nanoparticles that efficiently delivered siRNA, sgRNA and mRNA to endothelial cells in the spleen. The researchers believe their technique can deliver therapeutic RNA and DNA to a wide variety of endothelial cell types, and perhaps also to immune system and other cell types.
"The field has been able to functionally deliver genetic drugs to the liver, and we are now trying to use our technology to deliver to different organs and cell types to enable therapies to treat all of the cell types that are in the liver," said Cory Sago, the paper's first author and a Ph.D. candidate in Dahlman's lab. "Now that we have a system that allows us to probe these questions at a very specific level of resolution, we now want to go after other cell types in a more efficient manner."
Dahlman expects to put the new technology to use quickly.
"We hope to take projects that would ordinarily require years and complete several of them within the next 12 months," he said. "FIND could be used to carry all sorts of nucleic acid drugs into cells. That could include small RNAs, large RNAs, small DNAs and large DNAs - many different types of genetic drugs that are now being developed in research labs."
Technical challenges ahead include demonstrating that identifying an affinity for mouse organs predicts which particles will work in the human body, and that the approach works for different classes of genetic therapies.
Experimentally, Dahlman's lab produces the nanoparticles at three formulation stations that require about 90 seconds to produce each of the 250 or so samples used. The resulting nanoparticles are then examined for proper size range - 40 to 80 nanometers in diameter - before being purified and sterilized for injection into the animals.
After three days, the researchers separate cells that are glowing red and sequence the DNA snippets in them to identify which chemical compositions were most successful at entering cells of specific organs. The most promising chemical compositions are used to develop of a new batch of candidate nanoparticles for a new round of screening, which takes about a week to complete.
"We want to evolve the best particles that we can," Sago said. "Every single one of the components matters, and we work to get each component right for the cell type that we are interested in. There is a lot of optimization required."
In addition to those already mentioned, the paper's co-authors include Melissa P. Lokugamage, Kalina Paunovska, Daryll A. Vanover, Marielena Gamboa Castro, Shannon E. Anderson, Tobi G. Rudoltz, Gwyneth N. Lando, Pooja Tiwari, Jonathan L. Kirschman and Philip J. Santangelo, all of the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering; Chris M. Monaco, Young Jang and Nirav N. Shah of the Georgia Tech School of Biological Sciences; Nick Willett of Emory University and the Atlanta Veteran's Affairs Medical Center, and Anton V. Bryksin of the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience at Georgia Tech.
The research was supported by the NIH/NIGMS-sponsored Immunoengineering Training Program (T32EB021962), the Georgia Research Assistantship (Grant 3201330), the NIH/NIGMS-sponsored Cell and Tissue Engineering (CTEng) Biotechnology Training Program (T32GM008433), the National Institutes of Health GT BioMAT Training Grant (5T32EB006343), the Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation (DAHLMA15XX0), the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF-JFA-1860), and the Bayer Hemophilia Awards Program (AGE DTD).

Ketogenesis leads to a lot of changes in your body, some of it is emotional, some directly hits the gut or the gastrointestinal system. Your body when in keto, cuts out some food groups. Anytime you cut out certain food groups that your body is used to, it will lead to an imbalance. This certain imbalance is in your GI system.
It can either lead to constipation, which means that passing stool gets difficult and on the other hand there is keto diarrhea which is passing of stool too often in a very liquid state, which is what we will be discussing today on this post.
What Leads To Keto Diarrhea?
When your body transitions to the state of ketosis, there is an imbalance because your body is used to using carbohydrates as a source of energy and now there are no carbs left. Instead, it resorts to what is available, that is fats and proteins and refined sugars. In this transitioning, your body undergoes a phase called mental fog or brain fog.
This affects people in different ways. Some people end up getting the keto flu which has flu-like symptoms, including nausea and fevers. There are also people who get affected mentally, like irritability and mood swings. Some others get very common keto headaches. And the one that seems to be the most troublesome is the gut health problem, which is keto diarrhea.
What Are The Symptoms Of Keto Diarrhea?
Acidity is a symptom as well.
How Can You Cure Or Prevent Keto Diarrhea?
Getting keto diarrhea means that your body is in ketosis. It is not uncommon or rare. In fact, almost every person goes through one side effect when starting the keto diet. This passes away in a week.
Your body needs time to adjust when it changes the food groups that you consume. It is undergoing changes like the metabolic gap. Your body gets confused as to what it needs to do when it comes to the digestion process.
Exercise: Exercising is the best way to keep your body active and your metabolism going. Because exercising is not only for weight loss but having a healthy and active lifestyle also helps in keeping up with your digestion.
Consume activated charcoal: activated charcoal binds to the toxins and helps them from getting overly absorbed, hence helping control frequent motions.
Start taking digestive enzymes: after consulting a doctor or a nutritionist, you can start consuming supplements and digestive enzymes which can have hydrochloric acid or lipase. These can help in controlling the motions.
Keto diarrhea is hard to deal with, yes, but it is certainly something that can be easily cured and prevented with the right steps.

During the Sunday afternoon business session, the registered delegate count hovered around 99 (compared to its peak of about 105), and we almost had to lock people in to maintain our quorum of 49. This put us in the interesting situation that any two or three delegates could block changes to the Platform, which requires 2/3 of those voting but 50%+1 of the registered delegates. Nevertheless, we gamely pushed forward with consideration of the Platform Committee's report.
Item 1 called for repeal of the Real ID act, and passed. Item 2 successfully fixed the apparent contradiction between opposing all strict liability and supporting it for on-the-job injuries, by changing the latter language. Item 3 was to oppose any wall or fence on California's border with Mexico, and failed. Item 4 was a proposal by Starchild to oppose incarceration upon arrest when there is no immediate physical threat from the accused. The delegates were sympathetic to the principle, but were not willing to write on the floor the language that the proposal should have already had concerning questions of bail, crimes of violence, etc. Item 5 was to oppose holding reporters in contempt for not revealing their sources. I was willing to support this only with an exception for the Sixth Amendment right of the accused to have subpoena power, saying "if a reporting is hiding the name of the witness who can save me from the death penalty, I want that reporter to sing". A few other delegates had even firmer objections, and so this item failed too. Item 6 corrected "is comprised of" to "comprises". Item 7's call for proportional representation and multi-member districts was overwhelmingly rejected. Enough delegates opposed item 8's language about deployment of US armed forces beyond America's borders.to cause it to fail too.
There were no resolutions offered for consideration, and the penultimate item of business was the announcement that a contract had been signed to host the 2008 convention on a cruise the weekend of April 18 from Los Angeles to Ensenada. Informed that we were $188 short of raising $5000 in donations this weekend, Aaron inspired the delegates to cough up tens and twenties, and had easily reached the $5K mark by the time he persuaded Kevin Takenaga to empty his wallet for the cause. Retiring Chair Aaron Starr then handed the gavel over to incoming Chair Kevin Takenaga, in front of a dozen cameras and the loud applause of delegates grateful for Aaron's six years of service.
The new Executive Committee met after the convention adjourned. In public comments, Jonathan Zwickel discussed his complaint to the Judicial Committee concerning the current dues structure, and Aaron Starr responded that he was still willing to defend the ExCom in that case on the grounds of its clear dues-setting power under Bylaw 5.1.C. He also said he will be continuing to work on the conversion from MYOB to DonorPerfect and QuickBooks, and on compiling the mailing addresses of all elected officials in the state. Executive Director Angela Keaton reported a 2% return rate on a recent renewal mailing, and that work proceeds on integrating DonorPerfect with the web site's order-taking feature.
Bruce Dovner and the two ExCom alternates Chuck Moulton and Jesse Thomas were nominated to fill the three ExCom vacancies created by the promotion of Newell and Cowles to officers and the resignation of M Carling to allow his service on the Judicial Committee. The three were elected without objection, as they were the top three vote-getters among ExCom candidates who finished "out of the money" (as Dovner put it). ExCom will fill the two alternate seats at a future meeting.
Incoming Treasurer Don Cowles reported that our fixed administrative expenses (rent and salary) are about $3500/month and that ExCom members will need to help him fundraise. He urged everyone to contribute via the LPCA Coffee Club.
Starchild arrived and made his by-now-traditional attempt to move a chair up to the Committee table from gallery seats along the wall. Moulton, Brown and I wanted to explore an alternative to ordering him back to the wall, but as he Starchildishly inched his seat back in response to the order, the episode devolved into farce, and Kevin got back to business once Starchild was sufficiently far from the table.
Ted Brown and the balance of the five officers were nominated to join the Chair on the Operating Committee. The secret ballot was Newell 12, Cain 11, Cowles 10, and Collier and Brown tied at 7. Travel plans called Brown and Dovner away before the subsequent runoff was won 6-4 by Collier.
Cory Nott was chosen as the California rep to the national credentials committee, with Cam McConnell made the alternate after Moulton suggested the need for one. McConnell will also be the initial coordinator for the 2008 LPCA convention. Dan Minkoff will be taking over the reins of the Libertarian Perspective from Newell to clear Rich's plate for his Northern Vice-Chair work.
Moulton requested the first of two or three time extensions to discuss the 2008 convention cruise contract. It has a fixed $2500 cancellation penalty, and each ExCom member was given a chance to express his opposition to floating conventions. Moulton's objection centered on the need for a passport, but Dovner suggested that the rule might be relaxed before the cruise. McConnell complained that the 2006 cruise didn't have many speakers and didn't allow communal LPCA dining, but suggested this may be different next time. Brown defended a convention cruise only to the extent it was better than no convention at all. I said that I enjoyed the 2006 cruise, heard more guest speakers there (1) than I heard at the two 2007 lunches (0 - guest speaker Rod Long canceled), and favored any venue that (like a boat) could lock delegates in and prevent a repeat of today's embarrassing quorum problem. (McConnell himself had earlier requested an apology for the absence from the Platform debate of the incoming Chair, Southern Vice Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary, prompting Takenaga to apologize to Starr.) I also pointed out that this weekend's landlocked convention had barely any more delegates than the cruise convention. Rich then claimed that $5000 was spent to promote the cruise compared to nothing for this weekend, but in the March 2007 P&L statement for 2006 I only see $2355 in convention expenses and $3506 in convention revenue.
The ExCom passed resolutions thanking the convention committee and the outgoing officers, and set the next ExCom meeting for Saturday June 9 in San Diego.

Comprehensive motorcycle insurance is an insurance policy option. It differs from collision coverage though. However, it’s the part of the policy that helps pay for any expenses regarding your bike. 1st American Insurance Agency serves Longmont, CO, and the surrounding region by offering this type of insurance, so you can protect your investment.
Comprehensive insurance will help you repair your bike if it’s damaged in an accident. It’s also possible to use this type of insurance to replace your bike if it’s completely totaled. Your collision coverage helps take care of the expenses if you run into a vehicle, tree, fence, building, or other object. However, comprehensive insurance covers your bike if it happens to get damaged in an event that’s not a collision. For instance, it covers if your car is stolen and also covers if something should fall on your bike such as a hail ball. Additionally, you can use this type of insurance if it’s vandalized.
You can’t use this type of insurance to cover expenses at the mechanic if they’re related to your bike breaking down as a result of you not properly maintaining it. Moreover, it doesn’t provide coverage for expenses related to repairs needed because of wear and tear either. Generally, it only covers factory parts, meaning the ones that came with your bike. You’ll want to look into equipment coverage if you have nonstandard parts on your bike.
You don’t have to have comprehensive motorcycle insurance, but if you can’t afford to replace your bike, you may want to have. An agent will discuss your options and help you make a decision.

Configuration profiles on an iPhone or iPad are sort of like Group Policy or the registry editor on Windows. They allow you to quickly distribute groups of settings and access powerful management features that aren’t normally available. Configuration profiles are really designed for organizations, but can be used by anyone.
You’ll need a Mac to create configuration profiles for your iPhone or iPad. This requires Apple Configurator, and modern versions of Apple Configurator are only available for Mac OS X. Apple once offered a version of Apple Configurator that works on Windows, but no longer does.
To create a configuration profile, you’ll need to install the free Apple Configurator app from the App Store on a Mac.
Launch Apple Configurator and click File > New Profile.
The new profile screen will appear, with the General tab selected. You’ll have to type a name for your profile into the “Name” box here. The name will appear on any devices you install the configuration profile on, so give it a descriptive name.
Other fields here are optional. The Identifier is a unique identifier for the profile. Each profile should have a different identifier. If you want to replace an existing profile, give a new profile the same identifier as the old one. When someone installs the new profile on their device, it will replace the existing profile with that identifier.
The organization and description name allow you to provide further information about the profile. People with the profile installed on their device can view this information. The “consent message” appears when someone installs the profile on their device.
The “Security” and “Automatically Remove Profile” options allow you to define when the profile can be removed. By default, the profile can be removed by anyone. You can configure the profile so that it can never be removed or require a password to be removed, or have it automatically expire on a certain date or after a limited time period. These settings are intended for larger organizations to lock down their devices, but they can be used by anyone.
The rest of the screens listed in the sidebar are entirely optional. They’re all set to “Not configured” by default, which means they’re not part of the current configuration profile.
To define a setting, click a group of settings, then click the “Configure” button to see the settings included in that group.
You’ll see a wide variety of settings you can configure, depending on the category you choose. Some of these settings are marked “supervised only,” which means they’ll only take effect on a device in Supervised Mode. You can define these settings in a configuration profile and then install it on a device anyway–but these particular settings will only function on a supervised device. They’ll be silently ignored on a non-supervised device.
For example, the option to hide preinstalled apps under Restrictions > Apps only works on supervised devices.
Not all of these settings are for locking down a device. Others allow you to simply pre-configure a device in various ways. For example, click over to the Wi-Fi tab and you can add wireless network details. Users who install the configuration profile can automatically be connected to the Wi-Fi network with the appropriate network settings without configuring it themselves. For some sections, you can add additional settings using the + button in the top-right corner of the screen. For example, you could pre-configure multiple Wi-Fi networks.
You can also pre-configure VPNs, certificates, proxies, and other types of accounts. These settings can be part of a single configuration profile users can install to configure everything all at once.
When you’re done, click File > Save to save the configuration profile to a file on your Mac. Configuration profiles have the .mobileconfig file extension, although it’s hidden by default on Mac OS X.
You can now install the configuration profile to one or more devices. You could email the configuration profile to someone–including yourself–or offer it for download on a website. When someone taps the email attachment in the Mail app or downloads the configuration profile file from a website, they’ll be prompted to install it on their iPhone or iPad.
You’ll see information about the settings the profile contains when you install it, and you can tap the categories for more details.
Only install configuration profiles you trust. A configuration profile could include malicious VPN or proxy settings that force your Internet traffic through a malicious server, for example.
You can also deploy the configuration profile to a device–either a supervised or unsupervised one–through Apple Configurator. To do so, connect the iPhone or iPad to your Mac using a USB cable–the cable you use to charge it works fine. You’ll see a prompt asking you to trust the Mac on the iPhone or iPad. After you do, it will appear in the Apple Configurator app.
Double-click the device in Apple Configurator and click over to the “Profiles” category. Click the “Add Profiles” button and browse to the configuration profiles you’d like to add. Apple Configurator will immediately sync them to your connected iPhone or iPad.
To remove a configuration profile, head to Settings > General > Profile on your iPhone or iPad. You can then tap the name of the profile and tap “Delete Profile” to delete it from your device.
This is also how you can check to see if you have a configuration profile installed on your device. Just head to Settings > General > Profile and see if a profile is listed here. Tap the profile and then tap the categories to see more information about the settings it contains.
To remove a configuration profile via Apple Configurator, connect the device to your Mac and launch Apple Configurator. Double-click your device and select the “Profiles” category. Select the configuration profile and click Edit > Delete.
Organizations can also deploy and update configuration profiles through a mobile device management (MDM) server.

That’s what it says on Rebecca Lim’s Instagram profile.
Retiring? At 29? She can’t even withdraw any of her CPF yet.
That’s not bad advice and very timely since it’s tax season.
And in case you’re wondering, yes, Lim actually has an accountancy degree from Singapore Management University.
Coincidentally, a day before her announcement, an unidentified person won more than $9.5 million in Toto. Singapore Pools said it is the largest amount ever won by a single person for a Toto draw in Singapore.
And it wasn’t even the Hong Bao Draw, which will be held this Friday and has a jackpot of $12 million.
With that kind of money, you could almost afford a plate of nasi lemak at the Food Republic in Vivocity during Chinese New Year.
Which was a good joke.
Except the joke was ruined mere hours later when it was revealed that Lim wasn’t really retiring after all.
The Straits Times reported that Lim had clarified that her Instagram post was actually part of a collaboration with insurance company NTUC Income.
“Nope, I’m not leaving my job. I love it too much.
“I have, however, signed a retirement plan with NTUC Income and it’s a relief to know that I’m saving a little each day for my future so that I don’t have to worry when I eventually do retire.
Nope, it’s not. In no sense is that retiring at all.
“For all of you who really thought that @limrebecca is retiring... Well, fake out! She’s not!
“Turns out the actress is only ‘advocating the mindset of early financial planning so we don’t have to worry when we do retire,’ she just told us over the phone.
“As for the hoo-ha her faux-retirement caused today, Becks says she’s ‘very sorry’ and thus needed to ‘clear the air immediately’.
But the deceived public didn’t take the “fake out” as lightly.
Although today is Feb 14, there are no Valentines for Lim (and NTUC Income) on social media.
Ironically, New Nation, which has fooled people with its fake headlines in the past, was also fooled by Lim’s fake “retirement” and had its Toto joke ruined.
Even more ironically, Mediacorp news outlets Channel NewsAsia and Today also reported Lim’s retirement as fact and rather tellingly, later removed the online reports when the truth came out.
So it seems Mediacorp was suckered by its own artist’s marketing ploy. A case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing?
But despite what New Nation says, Lim’s career will probably survive this minor PR misstep as Singaporeans are surprisingly forgiving and forgetful when it comes to our celebrities.
Just look at Jack Neo’s booming film career. It’s like his extramarital affair with model Wendy Chong was never exposed in 2010 and the subsequent scandal never happened.
But if Lim’s acting career is indeed over... well, there’s always accountancy.
Humour aside, is it right to do what actress Rebecca Lim did to her fans, and the public?
And it wasn’t even April the first.
Such a publicity stunt, for which she gets paid, was far from justified.
We are all aware of retirement plans and their benefits, and the need to sell them. But is this the way to go about it?
I do believe that when someone has made a name for themselves, and is paid well, there should be some form of social responsibility.
And where is the care and concern that one would associate with a role model?
How will this affect the young and impressionable who actually watch local TV?
This incident reconfirms that we, as a species, by and large, are driven by one thing and one thing only — the desire for money.
The mindset is such that everything is built around it, which is sad.
This controversy has put Ms Lim on the spot.
The key question then is whether controversy really sells. Many think not, but that is left to be seen.

Wire sparklers can be hard to light especially if it's windy or you're trying to light them with matches. Don't get frustrated! Following the below guidelines should make your job easier. Remember: Children must be closely supervised to prevent burned fingers or other body parts or clothing.
Choose a location away from the wind.
Only light one sparkler at a time. When a sparkler is first lit, it may surprise you and burst into a life in a halo of sparks. Lighting more than one at a time can be very unsafe.
Don't use paper or stick matches. Sparklers take a while to ignite and matches will generally do not burn long enough to raise the temperature high enough to get that sparkler lit. Also, the person holding the match is going to have their hand very, very close to the sparkler.
The best sources of flame to light sparklers are butane lighters (I suggest those candle BIC lighters - the long ones), barbecue lighters and propane torches.
The easiest method is to light one sparkler and then use that sparkler to light additional sparklers. Have one person the "designated lighter" and line everyone else up in a row with sparkler in hand. This makes the process very quick and simple. Sparklers lit with another sparkler light almost instantly and keeps everyone's hands a safe distance from the initial burst of spark.
Always light the sparkler at the tip furthest away from the bare wire handle.
Keep sparklers at arm's length away from face, body, clothing of yourself and people nearby.
Quality sparklers should burn in a continuous, smooth progression down the length of the coated portion of the wire and should not have to be re-lighted.
You can safely wave the sparkler in front of the person holding it, making sure there is enough room to avoid contact with other people or objects.
Never hold sparklers close to your face or eyes. Young children should be supervised so they do not throw the sparklers or run with a sparkler or run into a sparkler being held by someone else.
Sparklers are hot when burning, therefore, never bring a burning sparkler in close contact with any other material as it may leave scorch marks or possibly ignite the material. Be especially careful of highly flammable material such as gasoline, hair spray, nail polish or alcohol.
It's always a good idea to have one or two fire extinguishers available and within reach. We highly recommend Fire Gone.
Sparklers remain hot for some time after they've stopped burning. Never grab or touch the burned portion after the spark has stopped. Have one or several buckets filled with water or sand or a metal tray available to place the sparklers in or on. This will safely dispose of the sparklers and make cleanup a breeze.
Once cool, simply dispose of the sparklers into the trash.

Wednesday KISS-IN – Don’t forget to bring your lipbalm!
I’m already looking forward to Wednesday! Why, you ask? Because I will be snogging for a good cause. You see, Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf is calling upon us (gays, bisexuals, transgenders, straight folks, and what have you) to get together on Wednesday night for a loving kiss.
Last week, while leaving a restaurant, he and his boyfriend walked to their bicycles and paused for a peck. While kissing, there was a one-man protest from a nearby snackbar owner claiming they were on his property and that they had to get out of his sight. A discussion started, multiple people joined in, things got heated and now Olaf is making a statement with his KISS-IN.
The responses are mixed. While some people think it’s a bad idea and turn this into a discrimination matter (way to go, I think we need a ‘Godwin‘ word for these kinds of things too) others have responded with great enthusiasm. Personally, I think it’s an awesome and loving way to show people that here, everybody can kiss whoever they want. I can’t imagine wanting to kiss the person I love and having people I don’t even know give their opinion on whether or not I should be kissing that person, and where. It does not concern them, or can we have a peek in their bedroom too and critique the way they love? Let’s just turn this whole damn city into one big peep show where everybody can tell others what they should and shouldn’t be doing- lovewise- and call it ‘freedom of speech’.
This doesn’t sound too appealing now does it? Some people are saying that nobody should kiss on the street, that it makes them uneasy. Well, I have a solution: look the other way. Not everybody gets that way, some are more comfortable than others. There are no rules to abide by. Personally, I hate it when people don’t know who has to brake and who has to speed when I want to pass them by on my bicycle but you don’t hear me going off at every single imbecile on a two wheeler. You know why? ‘Cause there is a time and a place to keep your mouth shut. Not everything is an issue. Personal preferences don’t need to be elevated every chance you get. If you can’t say something nice..don’t say anything at all.
Just before this went online, Erwin Olaf has made peace with the owner of the snackbar. Great, but the KISS-IN is still on. For freedom, for love, for kissing. So, click above this article to hear the best soundtrack for Wednesday and grab your lipbalm. I sincerely hope you will all be there.
When: Wednesday night, 20.30 hr.

Started as a small family-owned company in Penticton B.C., Structurlam has expanded over the past five decades into a global leader in mass timber products. Now, with a workforce of over 200 employees, this facility continuously stimulates job growth in the region as the major employer in the South Okanagan region of B.C.
Photo: Brudder | Structurlam manufacturing facility, Penticton, B.C.
Among them is Ron McDougall – a mass timber specialist who is a true advocate for the advancement of engineered wood products in construction.
After 20 years working in heavy timber construction and sales, Ron joined Structurlam in the fall of 2012. As the company was the first in North America to augment fabricated glue laminated timber products with cross laminated timber, Ron wanted to be a part of the innovative team leading this first wave of new and revolutionary building systems.
At the core of the company’s mission statement is a willingness to be innovative in how we deliver engineered wood products as well as a passion and compulsion to be the best mass timber supplier in North America. Being the ‘best’ for Structurlam means to be the most capable, affordable, and horsepower-driven, delivering interesting projects with continuous evolution.
What projects have instilled the most pride throughout the course of your career?
Being at Structurlam for over six years, I can say that it’s not so much about the project themselves but moreover, the process behind the scenes, with Brock Commons Tallwood House being the most interesting, collaborative and efficient project to complete.
Mass timber is so dynamic and versatile in how it can be used that it is a great springboard for us to bring in new technology, like 3D modeling. It is very rewarding to be a part of a strong team to deliver a great product on schedule.
Another project that I am very proud of is the Rocky Ridge Recreational Centre in Calgary, Alberta, featuring the largest glue-laminated wood constructed roof in North America. It was a collaborative process where everybody involved contributed to the master 3D model controlled by the architect.
What do you see as potential for growth in the future, within the organization and the mass timber industry as a whole?
There is tremendous potential for growth, where we aren’t just excited for our organization but for the entire engineered wood industry. We are excited that other mass timber producers are going to come support the entire movement and change the way we deliver projects and the material choices that specifiers will have. The future is exciting where we are expanding significantly.
What does the organization and industry need in order to continue to innovate in the future?
Internally, we are always trying to expand our ability to participate in design development through 3D modelling.
Future innovation would be the ongoing testing of the material, so it’s commonly understood in the building code how wood products favour well to different factors, such as seismic, durability, and fire.
Continued support for research and testing that is performed through organizations such as FPInnovations is important so that more information is available for those who want to explore the use of mass timber. Government has also played a strong role in the past and will continue to – diversification of forest products industry, markets and manufactured value-added products.
One innovation the construction industry needs is the ability to change the way that projects are delivered by being more collaborative so that all objectives are reached, and mass timber is the catalyst for that form of change. It is a product that is beneficial for the environment as well as the economy, locally and globally.
We’ve got our work cut out for us to make change for mass timber use, but we are on board as it’s for a good cause.

Thanks to its super softness and excellent hardwearing qualities, as well as being very reasonably priced, the Invictus Plains range of premium saxony carpet from Associated Weavers is one of our staple bestsellers. And the colour choices in the range have recently been updated with more on-trend neutrals, pastel undertones and grey hues to choose from too!
The thicker of the two broadloom carpets available in the Plains collection is Invictus Sirius, which at 70oz is every bit sumptuous underfoot and performs exceptionally well. Made from polypropylene, it’s stain resistant, bleach cleanable and comes with an impressive 20-year stain warranty, which is great considering other good quality polypropylene carpet manufacturers offer one for half that, at ten years. Alongside it, in the same style and choice of colours although a lighter pile weight, is Orion at 50oz. For the sake of the few pounds per square metre difference in price, our customers often opt for the extra luxuriousness of Sirius.
Invictus Sirius and Orion are woven from several unique shaped, 100% solution dyed polyolefin (high quality polypropylene) fibres, which give the carpets their outstanding bulk, softness and shine.
As we mentioned earlier, Associated Weavers have given the Invictus Plains collection a little colour palette overhaul. Some of the creamy, bluey colours have been discontinued and replaced with the more on-trend pastels that are fashionable today within interiors and work perfectly to co-ordinate with a variety of style schemes. New colours include ‘Grey Plank’, the elegant ‘Egyptian Papyrus’, an intriguing very light grey in ‘Lavastone’ and a fabulous, ever so soft, dusky pink with ‘Carnation’.
With the Invictus Plains collection, all the carpets come in one dyed colour. If you’re looking for an option with a fleck, then the Invictus Heathers collection will suit better. There you can find the same level of high quality polypropylene carpet in a soft twist pile with the 70oz Pegasus and 50oz Perseus collections.
Showing: Invictus Sirius 70oz high quality stain resistant carpet in Carnation, an on-trend pastel shade.
As well as the very competitive price per square metre for a high quality, soft, stain resistant carpet that the Invictus Plains collection offers, there’s the added bonus of a greater choice of widths too. The Invictus Plains and Heathers collections are available in 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5m widths, which is ideal if you are looking to carpet narrow spaces as much as larger ones. The extra choice of widths can make a difference to the overall price of your carpet installation if it means less waste. With Flooring 4 You being an official retailer of the Associated Weavers carpet products, we can provide their products in all the widths available. It’s worth bearing in mind that not all carpet retailers can do this as they don’t deal directly with the manufacturer.
Showing: Invictus Plains Orion 50oz high quality stain resistant carpet.
With its excellent performance qualities, we recommend the Invictus carpets for busy homes where there might be heavy traffic areas, children, pets or the odd spillage. Whether installed to the hallway, lounge or stairs, they are as robust as they are luxurious and will stand the test of time better than some of the other polypropylenes on the market. Taking care of the carpet is important too, to maximise life and performance. The manufacturer recommends they are professionally cleaned every two years, to keep their softness, shape and lustrousness for years to come.
Showing: The Invictus Plains carpet stands at our Knutsford showroom, complete with the new colour samples.
The Invictus Plains carpet collections start from £19.99m2 and are available from Flooring 4 You in the full choice of widths available. You can see all the samples at our Knutsford and Bowdon showrooms and loan swatches to take home to try within your space. For a free quotation for Invictus Plains for your home, send us an email or give us a call today to arrange a convenient date and time.

Supplies via call-off-stock can be zero rated intra-community supplies if certain conditions are fulfilled.
Germany’s Federal Tax Court (BFH) issued a decision on 20.10.2016, V R 31/15, on the VAT treatment of supplies made via consignment stock. The BFH confirmed the 2015 decision of the lower Hessian tax court (FG Hessen 25.08.2015, 1 K 251910 1 K 2519/10), in which that court disagreed with the German tax authorities’ position regarding supplies via German call-off stock. According to the tax authorities, the supply of goods from other EU member states via consignment stock located in Germany should be deemed to be an intra-community supply of goods followed by a domestic supply by the supplier. This in general results in VAT reporting obligations for the supplier in Germany.
The case before the BFH involved a Spanish trading company that sold goods to a German company. The goods produced in Spain were supplied via call-off-stock located in Germany. The German customer had a service agreement with the warehouse operator, under which the warehouse services were contracted on behalf of, and for the account of, the supplier. The customer had dictated these terms to the supplier. The warehouse operator was required to provide services, such as storage, unloading, etc., relating to the stored goods, and the German customer had been granted free access to the goods. The central supply agreements contained terms relating to the goods to be supplied, the terms of delivery, price and payment. The quantity and dates of supply were determined by call-off schedules forwarded by the German customer on a daily basis. Only these schedules had a legally binding effect. The quantities shipped to the warehouse were required to cover the demands of the customer during the coming weeks and months.
The BFH ruled that a supply via a call-off-stock where the final customer was identified at the beginning of the transfer from the EU member state of dispatch and where a binding order existed on that date should be considered a direct intra-community supply. It is irrelevant that the right to dispose of the goods was transferred in Germany.
The BFH stated that its decision is in line with the 2009 decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (X, 18.11.2010, C-84/09). Based on this decision, the classification of a transaction as an intra-community supply or acquisition cannot be made contingent upon the observance of a specific time period during which the transport of the goods supplied or acquired must begin or end. However, to make such a classification and to determine the place of acquisition, there must be a temporal and material link between the supply of the relevant goods and the transport of the goods, as well as continuity in the transaction.
The BFH pointed out that the temporal and material link requirement is not affected by a short temporary interim storage of the goods, as in the current case. The BFH also held that the German tax authorities’ view, which is based on the guidance issued by the OFD (higher local tax authority) of Frankfurt dated December 15, 2015, that the transfer of goods from another member state to a German consignment stock will trigger a deemed intra-community acquisition of the goods by the seller in Germany, followed by a domestic taxable supply, is incorrect.
The BFH decision does not include any new guidance as to how storage contracts should be drafted to ensure the assumption of a binding order before transport commences. Although the BFH does not follow the position taken by the German tax authorities for nonresident taxpayers, potentially affected parties should continue to register for VAT in Germany in the case of supplies via call-off-stock since it is unclear if and when the tax authorities will implement the BFH decision in practice. Hopefully, the tax authorities will take steps soon to implement a change in practice, which will lead to fewer registration duties for nonresident taxpayers.

Social Discovery Ventures is an international IT holding working out of 8 offices across the globe. In the summer 2015, we have decided to build a centralized Treasury office for the group.
We have applied to Pelican Leader Search based on recommendation from one Latvian banking top executive and never regretted. Pelican has quickly understood specifics of Treasury and delivered 5 executives and middle managers matching both our professional expectations as well as fitting well within our corporate structure.
I want to compliment Diana Steimane personally, as her negotiations skills helped us to convince candidates who had doubts – this is very critical in search for best talent. Pelican Leader Search has outperformed the other two recruiters we hired in Latvia, by demonstrating detailed knowledge of Banking sector and connections on all levels.
We fully recommend Pelican Leader Search if you need a professional and detailed search partner inside Banking&Finance sector, with very reliable candidates at the end.

I love to read a good mystery! And a novel that includes finding a hidden treasure is always intriguing. Even when I’m tired, I find myself tempted to stay up late and continue reading until the villain is captured, the mystery is solved, and the treasure has been returned to its rightful owner.
In Colossians 2 the apostle Paul describes another type of valuable treasure, and he assures believers they can understand the greatest mystery of all time: the mystery of God, which is in Christ. We can know Him in deeper and more intimate ways by reading the story of His life in the Gospels, meditation on and memorizing His Word, and by experiencing the life-changing power of His Spirit working in our hearts and minds.
All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. When we know Him and grow in our relationship with Him, we tap into the greatest source of wisdom and knowledge available anywhere. Now that’s a treasure to get excited about!
“Turn your ear to wisdom . . . look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2: 2, 4 – 5.
I’d love to hear what “treasure” you’ve discovered in your relationship with Christ.
My greatest treasure is knowing His love for me. As His redeemed one, I know that I don’t need to do anything to merit that love. But experiencing that love compels me to do everything I can to show how awesome He is.
Great meditation, Carrie. Thanks for sharing.

Donald Trump has accepted a personal invitation from the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to discuss the possible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, but also has vowed to keep sanctions in place until a firm deal is reached.
Following the latest round of successful negotiations between the two Koreas this week in Pyongyang, Kim Jong-un sent a personal invitation to the American leader to discuss improving bilateral ties. After months of saber-rattling between the two leaders, Trump agreed to meet the North Korean leader by May, South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong announced at the White House on Thursday, after delivering a letter from Pyongyang to the American leader.
Prior to accepting Kim’s invitation, Trump held a phone conversation with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in which the leaders as usual agreed to apply maximum pressure on North Korea. Abe plans to visit the US in April ahead of the proposed meeting between the North Korean and US delegations.
Confirming Trump’s acceptance of the invitation to meet Kim, the White House stressed that the place and time of a US-North Korean encounter is yet “to be determined.”“We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain,” press secretary Sarah Sanders added.
Announcing the monumental breakthrough in the Korean stalemate, Chung Eui-yong noted that Kim Jong-un is now “committed to denuclearization,” and has “pledged” to refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests until talks with Trump take place. Surprisingly, Kim also made concessions towards the never-ending joint US-South Korean drills, which have greatly contributed to the ongoing tensions in the region. “He [KIM] understands that the routine joint military exercises between the Republic of Korea and the United States must continue,” the Security Adviser noted during his announcement. The South Korean official further credited Trump’s leadership and the US policy of “maximum pressure” for bringing North Korea to the table.
The Korean peninsula has been divided since 1953, after an uneasy armistice suspended the bloody, three-year conflict between the Communist North and the US-allied South that, at one point, involved both US and Chinese militaries. Last month, North and South Korean athletes competed together at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
“This is a major improvement over diplomacy that consisted of shouting insults at each other,” William Perry, secretary of defense for Bill Clinton, told Politico.

Not everything released around Christmas is Oscar-worthy. Now, It’s Complicated certainly has some talent. Meryl Streep collects awards like I do comics, and Alec Baldwin (as I have often said before) just reading a phone book can be funnier than almost everyone else on the planet.
This new rom-com from writer/director Nancy Meyers (The Holiday – which I liked, What Women Want – which I didn’t) is exactly what you’d expect going in. Thankfully there’s enough humor that guys won’t have to struggle too much when they’re dragged by their better halves to see this over the holiday weekend.
Love the second time around is a complicated business, or so the film tells us. Divorced for ten years, emotions resurface for Jane (Meryl Streep) and Jake (Alec Baldwin) while attending their son’s (Hunter Parrish) college graduation.
Everyone’s been making a fuss about the new Sherlock Holmes movie, from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels English Crime filmmaker Guy Ritchie, and how it’s suposed to be a different animal from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle detective stories that are ingrained in Pop Culture. Many have worried it would be all flash and dazzle, a fear that wouldn’t be totally unjustified considering the quick-cut editing and matter-of-factness dialogue that Ritchie’s filmography has been host to. But now that it’s out, it turns out we have nothing to worry about – well, almost nothing.
The Sherlock Holmes we’ve come to know is the one with that ridiculous deerstalker hat, perpetually starring through a magnifying glass and walking alongside an amusingly obese Watson. While it’s always more entertaining to see a jolly fat man in the movies than Holmes‘ version – the slim but adept (and to be fair, pretty strong in his own right) Watson presented in this latest movie, played by Jude Law, is just one example that proves the changes made in Ritchie’s Holmes work pretty well.
The Young Victoria is a solid effort from screenwriter Julian Fellows (Gosford Park, Vanity Fair).
Emily Blunt proves capable of capturing a young woman on the verge of controlling an empire and struggling with advisers, her mother’s power-hungry lover (Mark Stong), and her own ideas for her country’s future.
And yet, something is missing.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed The Young Victoria. The sets, cinematography, acting, costumes, all demonstrate talent and a keen eye for the period.
Maybe I’ve just seen too many of these paint-by-number historical dramas, or perhaps this film does too little to distinguish itself from all the others.
The film is an attempt to show Victoria (Blunt) blossoming into womanhood, her rise to power, her early years as Queen, and her romance with Prince Albert (Rupert Friend). And it does exactly that, and nothing more.
Every couple of years it seems director Jason Reitman is putting out a movie that ends up on my best of the year list. Oh wait, that’s exactly what he’s been doing.
Starting in 2005 with Thank You for Smoking followed by 2007’s Juno, Reitman has quickly made a name for himself creating smart, funny, off-beat, award-winning films with heart, wit, and a little bit of sass.
Another two years have gone by, and Reitman returns once again with tale of a salesman. In Thank You for Smoking Aaron Eckhart made smoking not only palatable, but patriotic.
Here Reitman casts George Clooney as a termination specialist, a man who is selling unemployment – with a smile. And as he did with Eckhart, Reitman allows the man’s natural charm and the wit of the script to soften the hard edges of what it is he’s selling. If you’ve never believed a movie about firing people could be this entertaining, you’re about to be proven very wrong.
It’s been awhile. For more than a decade Disney has been, well, very un-Disney. In many ways, with the latest animated feature, the company returns to the roots. We’ve got a classic tale, a princess (of sorts), talking animals, big musical numbers, true love triumphant, a wicked villain, and a curse.
The Princess and the Frog, Disney’s 49th animated feature film, might not be in the same class as Sleeping Beauty or Snow White, but for the first time in a long time the studio has released a movie that feels like a Disney film (and not an animated feature that any studio could have produced).
That’s not to say the movie doesn’t have its warts. The Princess and the Frog is at least 15 minutes too long, the story meanders a bit in places, and the animation isn’t as crisp as I’d like. That said, over the course of the film you can feel (at least in places) the old-time magic being re-awoken. In many ways through the process of making this film it feels as if the studio is slowly rediscovering itself.

Meteorology is the study of weather, climate, and the characteristics, structures, and processes of the atmosphere. Broaden your education by seeking a minor in the applied science of meteorology and atmospheric science. The minor often complements majors in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other fields.
You enjoy applying mathematics and physics to problems in the atmosphere and oceans.
You are interested in learning more about meteorology to augment another science or engineering major or career.
This minor can help you learn about meteorology or prepare you for future study or work.
The minor provides students with meteorological knowledge for careers in industry, private consulting firms, government, or the armed forces. This minor may benefit students planning careers in environmental consulting, public policy, economic planning, or risk management. Students who wish to be employed full-time as a meteorologist should major in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science rather than seek a minor.
A minor in Meteorology, in conjunction with a B.S. in a science or engineering field, may position a student to apply for graduate school in some scientific disciplines, including atmospheric science.

Parents and staff of a highly popular, award-winning youth steel band in Harlesden have slammed trustees for dissolving the charity which supports it.
Members of the St Michael’s Youth Project (SMYP), home to St Michael & All Angels Steel Orchestra, heard the charity was dissolving in a Sunday sermon address to parishioners on April 30.
Rev Ron Herbert, vicar of St Michael & All Angel in Hillside, Stonebridge, stepped down from the trust in January but continues to act as its treasurer.
The orchestra, which won best band at the Notting Hill carnival last year, was evicted from the church last October, where it has been based for 20 years.
SMYP was formed in 1996, gaining charitable status in 2011.
Through a grant from the Jack Petchy Foundation, members have been awarded for a host of skills including volunteering and fundraising.
The children perform for free and have raised thousands of pounds in donations.
Parent Shu Khnum said “it’s the final nail in the coffin” for the band and that “an unfathomable conflict of interest of the project trustees”, has led to its demise. He added: “Whatever justification the trustees feel they have to relinquish themselves of the burden of this project is outweighed by the needs of the local children.
Since October, young steel pan players have been playing in Mahogany Carnival Arts in High Street, Harlesden, taught by unpaid supporters of the band - Patrick McKay, co-ordinator, and Alfred ‘Freddy’ Totesaut, music arranger and teacher.
“We have to find a way to continue and one of the options is to re-form our own charity.
“If we had to do that we wouldn’t get back to where we are now for another five years as we need to present two years of accounts to register with the charity commission.
Candice Falconer, an original trustee member, was told to stand down in July.
“I still don’t know why,” she said. “The action being taken by the trustees to dissolve SMYP is unnecessary, as prior to the notification being given, the trustees were presented with a Memorandum of understanding, which stated that we are willing and able to do what is necessary to keep SMYP running and if the trustees wanted to step down, we would step in and get the organisation back on track.
Marlon Nelson, chair of trustees at SYMP, said: “Despite efforts to raise essential funds, the Board of Trustees has taken the difficult and hugely disappointing decision to end St Michael’s Youth Project (SMYP), due to a lack of resources. It is our hope that the steel orchestra will be able to continue and the trustees are currently in talks with a neighbouring church about providing it with a new home.

Comic books are humongous outside the United States.
"Shonen Jump," a Japanese comic, sells 3.2 million copies weekly. Each is about the size of Albuquerque's two-inch-thick yellow pages directory.
To help open doors for upcoming Christian cartoonists, the International Christian Comics Competition was held recently in Albuquerque.
The winners among the 80 entrants didn't receive prizes. Instead, their work will be featured in a book, says Nate Butler of Albuquerque. Butler is president of COMIX35, a nonprofit media ministry and contest sponsor.
"It's critical for Christians to be involved in the production of this material," Butler says. "I think the show is a really good chance to display the talent out there worldwide."
The amateur best-of-show winners were José Carlos Gutiérrez and Carlos Eduardo González of Mexico City for their entry, "Special Guest." The comic dealt with the Mexican youth club scene.
A leading U.S. comic like "Superman" sells about 1.2 million copies, he says.
"In other countries (comics) may be called manga, bande dessinee, historieta or stripverhalen, but the reason for its popularity is the same it's a graphic form of literature that is easy to read and understand," Butler says.
COMIX35 was founded in 1996 to improve Christian use of comics-style literature for evangelization and discipleship. He says COMIX35 has held comics training seminars around the world for hundreds of attendees from more than 40 countries.
The idea for an international competition came while Butler was in Bulgaria for a training seminar. He brought samples of Christian comics.
"This competition has generated fresh material for publishers and given new 'voices' an opportunity to speak messages of life, hope and healing to the world," Butler says. "The competition book will act as an international portfolio."
The contest is the first step in COMIX35's plan to have the International Christian Comics Rights & Resources Center in Albuquerque, says Butler, an artist who worked with Jim Henson Productions, Archie, DC and Marvel comics.
Hundreds of people viewed the entries displayed at Immanuel Presbyterian Church.
Butler says the display will be exhibited this fall at the University of New Mexico.
Amateurs Nathan Watson and Steven Wyatt of California placed first in the people's choice award.
Clóvis Shimabukuro of Brazil placed first among professional artists.

Bill Text - AB-2618 Community facilities districts: powers.
AB 2618, Nazarian. Community facilities districts: powers.
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 specifies the requirements for the establishment of a community facilities district, including, among other things, a petition, a hearing, the establishment of the boundaries of the community facilities district, and an election on the question. Existing law authorizes a community facilities district formed pursuant to an alternative procedure under which the district initially consists solely of territory proposed for annexation to the community facilities district in the future and territory is annexed and subjected to special taxes only upon unanimous approval of the owners, to finance and refinance the acquisition, installation, and improvement of energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy improvements.
This bill would authorize a community facilities district that is formed pursuant to the alternative procedure to additionally finance seismic retrofitting, as specified.
This bill would incorporate changes to Section 53328.1 of the Government Code proposed by both this bill and AB 2693, which would become operative only if both bills are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2017, and this bill is chaptered last.
(f) In connection with a community facilities district formed under this section, as an alternate and independent procedure for making the changes described in Section 53330.7, the changes may be made with the unanimous approval of the owner or owners of the parcel or parcels that will be affected by the change and with the written consent of the local agency. No additional hearings or procedures are required, and the unanimous approval shall be deemed to constitute a unanimous vote in favor of the proposed changes. If the proceeds of a special tax are being used to retire any debt incurred pursuant to this chapter and the unanimous approval relates to the reduction of the special tax rate, the unanimous approval shall recite that the reduction or termination of the special tax will not interfere with the timely retirement of that debt.

“Friends are forever”….how many sayings on friends can we come up with and not search for but just pops up in our thoughts? Or, maybe you have a new one!
Cool, can’t get any better than what Christ said about friends.
I think there’s a saying ‘choose your friends wisely’.
Also there’s a scripture that says if you are a friend of the world you are an enemy of God (paraphrase).
MG already posted what came to my mind.
I think those people you posted a picture of are “Dr. Holton” and “Patient Davenport”???
Hooray, Needles, you won the contest. That’s them alright… Wonder if patient Davenport has managed to keep those paper scales off her eyes? I think she looked at this picture and didn’t recognize herself. O how about her phone screen is just a tad small for her eyes. Dr Holton, what should she do? Maybe get some glasses like yours?
I think Patient Davenport needs to see a real Doctor!
Maybe Patient Davenport suffers with an Enlarged Heart, or a pretty big one, anyway. 🙂 But then, big-hearted people are pretty easy to treat, Dr. Holton.
RX: take 2 scriptures and call you in the morning.
In Louisiana they would say good friends are just like Frick and Frack.
Wendy are just such a pair, full of fun for telling the stories of Jesus.
Never heard of F and F. Couldn’t get you tube to work.
Doc Mg has got some help for patient. Hope she can see it.
Rena I have heard of Frick and Frack. I wasn’t able to pull up the you tube. The patient looks like she is feeling better. I see the Doctor has her eye glasses on. I like MGs Rx. So glad the scales fell off the eyes.
I could pull up the video and may have heard the term or name but never knew what or who it was until Rena explained and I watched.

Getting your foot in the door can be tough, so we’re opening the door for you. We’re looking for a talented hybrid of a graphic designer and a web developer who can support our team and learn tricks of the trade along the way. This hybrid position isn’t a new thing, designers have been encouraged to learn to code, and developers have been encouraged to learn design software and fundamentals of layout and design. The person we’re looking for is a master of neither, but eager to learn both.
Our interns work directly with our designers and developers assisting in many phases of the design and production processes in our casual, creative environment. This is a paid position located in our Bridgewater, NJ office.
This is a full-time position, however, we understand that some candidates may have the added demand of school and are very flexible with scheduling.
Enthusiastic college student or recent graduate with strong organizational skills actively pursuing a career in graphics and/or web design and development. Applicants with previous graphic design internships and/or experience and strong design skills highly preferred, but not required for the right candidate.
All resumes and inquiries must include a creative portfolio or links to previous work in order to be considered.

You’ve hit the gym with the same exact frequency for months. You’ve eaten the same cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast, spinach salad for lunch, and standard protein for dinner since summer (with the occasional happy hour added in—no change in frequency there). Yet somehow, maddeningly, the number on the scale continues to creep up.
Packing on even just a few pounds with no discernible cause is crazy frustrating (maybe you’re sleepwalking to the fridge at night?! Birth control fail?) but it can also be a sign something is askew in your bod, like out of whack hormones or other sneaky health conditions that are causing your metabolism to misfire.
What to do? Whether the scale's tipping over five pounds or 20, Melina Jampolis, M.D., an internist and physician nutrition specialist based in LA, recommends first ruling out the most obvious culprit: a caloric surplus. Because, let’s be honest, in most cases of unexplained weight gain, everything comes down to calories.
“Lots of people have ‘calorie amnesia’—they’re eating more calories than they tally up in their head, or it’s not that they’re exercising any less during the week but maybe they’re sitting more,” Jampolis says. That's why she recommends that, before visiting the doc, you keep a log of everything you eat as well as your exercise habits (including outside-the-gym activity) for at least a few days if not a week or two. Then, by taking it to your doctor with your weight-gain concerns, you can go from there.
When a young woman walks into a doc’s office with unexplained weight gain, the thyroid is the first place most physicians will investigate, says Jampolis. And for good reason: a whopping one in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in her life, according to the American Thyroid Association.
That butterfly-shaped gland in the neck is responsible for secreting a hormone that regulates the metabolism, and if you’ve got an under-active thyroid (called hypothyroidism) the metabolism may slow down, triggering weight gain.
Women with hypothyroidism may also suffer from low energy levels or fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, hoarseness, or constipation, says Jampolis. Notice any of them and you should book a chat with your doc who can check on your thyroid with a simple blood test if necessary.
Research shows that as many as one in five women have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—an endocrine disorder that throws off the balance of reproductive hormones estrogen and testosterone, and can trigger a number of unpleasant symptoms like wacky periods, facial hair growth, and migraines. PCOS can also muck up the way your body uses insulin (the hormone that helps turn sugars and starches into energy), which means (womp, womp) unexplained weight gain around the mid-section is common, says Jampolis.
If your menstrual cycles are off, a gyno will likely take a peek at your hormones to diagnose this one.
The body’s a miraculous, well-oiled machine—but it’s got a few hiccups. Case in point: When we’re chronically stressed, we’re thrown into that fight-or-flight mode and get a surge of adrenaline (to help us run from danger) along with a heavy dose of the hormone cortisol, which is supposed to help us restore our energy reserves and store fat. Because, hello, we obviously just sprinted three miles from a tiger—we're starving. The problem? Lots of us get stressed sitting at our desk—a time we don’t exactly need to hang on to those extra calories, says Jampolis.
If you’ve persistently felt down in the dumps or anxious, have trouble sleeping, feel fatigued, or you’ve lost interest in the stuff that used to make you tick, talk with an M.D. or mental-health pro who can make suggestions for getting back on track, which (bonus) should help you drop those extra pounds.
There’s nothing like a busted night of sleep to make a girl crave sugar and fat (anything to survive at work the next day, right?) That's because missed shuteye does a number on your hunger hormones and metabolism: Sleeping too little raises ghrelin, the hormone that signals it’s time to eat, while lowering our levels of leptin, the hormone that conveys the “I’m full” feeling, says Jampolis. The result: a totally unsatisfying chow-fest the next day.
Adding insult to injury, the bleary-eyed also tend to cling on to body fat—a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that people who slept 5.5 hours a night lost half the weight that those who slept 8.5 hour did, even when eating the same number of calories.
We all know by now that the gut relies on good bacteria to function well (probiotics, anyone?), but there’s also bad bacteria chilling in your digestive tract. When that balance of good to bad gets thrown off, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO, for short) can take place, triggering extra gas in your GI tract along with bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and—yay—unexplained weight gain.
Like the many other mysteries of our crazy-smart and complex guts, docs aren’t entirely sure how SIBO may trigger those extra pounds, says Jampolis.
Compound perimenopause with the other inevitable body changes that happen with age (like a loss of muscle mass and increase in body fat), and it may feel like the scale’s tipping fast. Talk to your doctor to manage "the change" in stride.
It’s not just birth control—a laundry list of both prescription and over-the-counter meds can trigger sudden weight gain or water retention that shows up on the scale as extra poundage. “Antidepressants—most commonly the selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Paxil, Lexapro and Prozac—may affect the appetite center in the brain,” says Rocío Salas-Whalen, M.D., an endocrinologist at the Medical Offices of Manhattan.
Meanwhile, beta-blockers (meds that reduce blood pressure) can slow your metabolism, and certain steroids (like prednisone—an anti-inflammatory that causes water retention and an increase appetite) can add on pounds. Even OTC antihistamines like Benadryl, which can disrupt an enzyme in the brain that helps regulate food consumption, can trigger noticeable weight gain, says Salas-Whalen.
A word to the wise: Don’t stop taking any pills cold-turkey—chat with your doctor, who may be able to find a more waist-friendly substitute.
A super-rare condition called Cushing’s disease (only 10 to 15 people per million are affected, but 70 percent of those diagnosed are women) causes excess cortisol production and can trigger excessive weight gain just around the abdominal area (legs and arms usually stay lean) and the back of the neck, says Reshmi Srinath, M.D., assistant professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and bone disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
“Cushing’s typically presents with significantly low energy and complications like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. But the telltale sign is very large red stretch marks on their belly,” she says. If this sounds eerily familiar, talk to your doctor asap.

Do you use ABAP reports to unload data from SAP to your big data or BI platforms? We have good news for you: you can keep this approach but cut report development time using a combination of two SAP add-ons.
Here we will explain how you can reduce both SAP development costs and time to deliver data extraction programs at the same time by using innovative SAP add-ons.
Often unloading data from SAP involves developing ABAP reports by the SAP IT department. Usually these reports simply create plain text files on the SAP application server and are not used by the SAP end users.
Technically the development follows the same pattern: you have to declare the types and variables you’ll use, then define the selection screen where you can filter the records. Next, you have to implement the data selection using an OpenSQL query and finally, you have to implement the display functions and saving the results to a file. You may notice that basically every step is the same, except for the data selection. Wouldn’t it be possible to automate them all?
The answer is of course yes! Incorporating an SAP add-on called STA Report Generator from our partner company STA Consulting, you can spare writing hundreds of program code lines. The add-on perfectly complements our Data Unfolder, so using the two products together can supercharge your SAP data extraction processes, without actually changing them.
Let’s see how this works using a simple business example. We will export material stock information from SAP using an SQL query.
We have two videos showing the whole process, and below you can find a long explanation with screenshots.
1, First let’s start with a basic SQL query: we’ll select all records from table MARD (Storage Location Data for Material), which contains the unrestricted stock information for materials.
3, You can invoke a database schema map by selecting a table and pressing a button. This will open a popup window that shows all related tables, foreign keys, cardinalities etc.
4, We will also extract data from table MARA (Material master) because we need analytics with breakdown by Material Group, Material Type and Industry Sector. This can be done very easily using the Table Join Assistant, which offers automatic joins for tables which have foreign keys defined in the SAP data tictionary.
5, We also restrict the selected fields from table MARA.
6, Now we add a fixed WHERE condition manually to extract data from year 2010 and later.
7, We additionally define further selection criteria using Dynamic Value Ranges, a convenient feature to define selections: simply select the table to filter and double-click on the fields to invoke a standard SAP “select-option” with search help. Let’s filter for Material Groups and Material Types.
8, Finally, let’s format the select query using the SAP Pretty Printer. We are finished constructing the data selection we need in our external BI platform.
1, We define this SQL command as a data source with a single button click.
2, Now we can use all features of VirtDB Data Unfolder, like exporting to CSV, Excel etc. but first lets tackle some very typical problems first.
You can see that the three fields we want to do breakdowns by are internal codes in SAP. Who knows what is Industry Sector ‘1’ or ‘M’? What is Material Group 001? Unless you work with your SAP system every day, I’m sure you don’t. Adding the texts to internal codes is a dead simple but awesome feature of VirtDB Data Unfolder. By choosing the Field Catalog Extension menu item, you get a list of all fields in the ALV list. The great thing is you can even add new fields to the ALV (standard or custom), without programming! Simply tick a few checkboxes to add text to internal code fields (from the text source visible on the right side).
The second issue is related to the field names. Usually 3rd party tools use the internal SAP technical names – usually 5 character long German abbreviations – which are not too user friendly. More advanced tools allow you to use the textual descriptions – if they are maintained in SAP. VirtDB Data Unfolder also allows you to modify the column headings according to your needs.
3, Once you press OK, the ALV is refreshed and all extra data is added automatically. Great, we did not have to investigate the text source for our three important fields and did not have to join the tables to our main query (which is not even possible if text comes from fixed domain values or from a Function Module).
4, Let’s do magic! By pressing a single button, all data we’ve gathered is pushed to Tableau. Moreover, it is pushed to Tableau in a license compliant way! We used an existing licensed SAP user and there was no external (RFC or web service) access to the SAP system.
5, Once we are in Tableau, we can leverage all capabilities of the leading BI tool of the planet. All data we need is there, column headings are fine and all data types are the same as in SAP. No more data preparation, ETL jobs etc., just fun with your data viz.
After the great viz is ready, you want to share it with others and make it refreshed automatically. Here comes another tool borrowed from STA Consulting, called STA Report Generator. Actually it is not a separate product but a simple add-on for the OpenSQL Editor. We will now generate an ABAP report based on our SQL query and schedule a periodic extraction job.
1, Press the Generate Report button and define generation settings in a popup window. You can enter a name for the report, a title and additional objects to be generated (like a DDIC structure and transaction code).
You can also select any field from any table used in the SQL query (even the ones not retrieved) to include on the selection screen of the report to be generated. You can also select the technology to be used for displaying the results. You can even select additional items to be generated, like skeleton class implementations for event handlers etc.
2, You can preview the code that will be generated using a button.
3, Once everything is fine, simply press Generate. Then the standard SAP development process will kick off, you have to define the settings of the program that will be generated, assign it to a package and to a transport request. This is great because it fits to your existing development processes.
4, After a few seconds, the report is ready. Let’s see how it looks!
The selection screen is exactly how we wanted it to look like and we even have a very handy button that allows you to see the number of matching records without actually retrieving them (the field list is replaced with a COUNT( * ) in the SELECT clause).
The end result is an ALV list, so it is very convenient even for end users.
5, Now let’s use VirtDB Data Unfolder to schedule a periodic extraction of this report to Tableau, MS SQL, Hadoop (Hive) and plain CSV files. We press the Datasource Settings button on the ALV toolbar and define the target system we want to push data to.
6, Now press “Schedule extraction” and enter parameters relevant for the target system.
The standard SAP job scheduler is started so you can use a familiar interface to define your periodic data extraction jobs. You can run the extraction every two weeks or every five minutes.
10, Let’s check how our extraction jobs have worked out and see how our SAP data looks like in our target systems.
SAP data extraction is usually a political game in every large organization. SAP teams protect their SAP systems as much as they can, and they also want to keep their developers utilized by writing custom data extraction reports.
The BI teams on the other hand are not able to get the data from SAP themselves. This is mostly due to the SAP licensing policy (indirect access etc.) and also due to the lack of functional SAP knowledge. That is why they are dependant on the SAP team, so they usually have trouble forcing them to use a 3rd party add-on that reduces the authority, importance and manpower of the SAP team.
This is exactly the key point, how these products are different. The STA OpenSQL Editor and Report Generator are actually ABAP developer tools that every SAP developer likes. Pleasing every involved party makes SAP data extraction projects much more easy going.

As I move on to more robust and chunky woolen knits, I find that the steam method of blocking just isn’t up to scratch.
Maybe the wool isn’t getting wet enough to be reshaped properly or I’m not leaving the scarf pinned in place for long enough?
Either way I thought it was time to take the plunge and try a new approach – the soak and spin method! I’ve been far too cowardly to try this in the past for fear that my scarf unravels or felts into a big fuzzball before my eyes. However, seeing as my last scarf decided to fold in on itself in such a stubborn fashion, I knew that my usual Steam Method just wouldn’t cut it.
1. Following the instructions on your wool detergent, fill a basin or bucket with the appropriate amount of detergent and luke warm water and pop the scarf in to soak for about 10 minutes.
2. Roll the scarf up carefully in the water and remove from the bucket. Empty and refill the bucket with clean water before popping the scarf back in to rinse. Give the scarf a gentle swirl before re-rolling it up and squeezing as much water as you can out of the scarf. Be careful not to twist the scarf and support it as much as possible as you get rid of the excess water.
This pic isn’t necessary – I just always thought looking into a spinning washing machine was mesmerizing!
4. Once the spin has finished, take the scarf out and gently unfold it onto the towels – I find it easiest to spread the towels out onto my bed so no one should accidentally step on it! Gently shape the scarf into your desired width and length before pinning it down – the more pins the better to ensure it retains its shape.
5. Leave for a good few hours to ensure that the scarf has completely dried. Ideally do this in the morning and leave all day, or if you have a spare room then leave it overnight.
I was so happy when I pulled the scarf out of the pillowcase and discovered it hadn’t miraculously untangled – I don’t know why I had been so nervous about attempting this method before! There’s actually not a lot of work involved and giving your scarf a proper wash means it smells especially nice and fresh!
This Grey Wool Ribbed Scarf was knitted using 100% British wool from Suffolk and is available to purchase in my Etsy shop.
I’ve gone a little overboard with the knitting over the last few months and find myself with a cupboard exploding with ruffle scarves in a rainbow of colours!
Seems to me like the perfect excuse for a sale, so I’m offering 20% off all of my ruffle scarves and scarflettes for the next two weeks!
So what if spring is supposedly approaching? I wear my own pink and purple ruffle scarf most of the year (I do live in Scotland after all) and it’s always winter somewhere around the globe!
These ruffle scarves are 100% acrylic and come in a range of colours to match your style. The layered yarn creates waves of textured ruffles and is slightly stretchy – not to mention soft and comfortable to wear. In addition to full length scarves, I also have a number of shorter scarflettes which come with their own coordinating scarf pin.
All of my ruffle scarves have been automatically reduced by 20% until midnight on 28th of February (GMT), so there’s no need to worry about entering coupon codes – the hard work has already been done for you.
So if you’re looking for a special birthday present, getting ready for Christmas ridiculously early, or just want to treat yourself – head on over to my Etsy shop sale!
I’ve been thinking about it, putting it off, and then thinking about it some more…it may be time to change my shop name!
Candy trees are the name of lollipop centrepieces (which I don’t sell), however there are many companies out there that do sell them, and quite often have ‘Candy Tree’ in their name!
The name isn’t available on Etsy or many other sites I use, hence the use of ‘125’ at the end – this means that if people just search for The Candy Tree, they will no doubt find one of these other companies before they find me.
I’ve been putting off this name change because it will involve a lot of hard work – I will need to make sure that Etsy, Twitter, Facebook, etc all have the name available and I would like a .com and .co.uk as well… and that’s once I finally decide on a name!
I originally wanted my name to be something clever, perhaps a play on words or even a Scottish word that meant something related to crafts, knitting or handmade, however that was proving too difficult!
I’ve now gone in a completely different direction and may end up using a more personal name – something that takes me back to my childhood and is definitely unique to me. I don’t mean to sound so mysterious but I would hate to post the name here before I’m ready to purchase my domains, only to find some evil person buys it up for themselves!
It may be a little while before I take the plunge – I still have a lot of business cards, thank you cards and earring cards with my Candy Tree branding and I don’t want the whole lot to go to waste… so for now, watch this space!!
If you’ve had to change your Etsy shop name for whatever reason, I would really love to hear how it went – how did you tackle updating all of your social media pages and links? Did you run into any trouble along the way? Please leave your comments below!
Next up in my Etsy Love series is Roi and Liron who run Vidar Jewelry where they sell their stunning collection of wedding and engagement rings.
It all began with our marriage proposal. Roi decided to surprise Liron with a marriage proposal. At first he did not have any clue about rings and jewelry. Luckily for him, his friend told him about a little business that belongs to a kind goldsmith. The marriage proposal was perfect and surprising, just as it should have been. When we wanted to buy a wedding ring, we knew positively we would turn to the same goldsmith from which Roi bought our engagement ring. When Liron entered the goldsmith’s studio, she was absolutely enchanted. She always had a weakness for working tools and she could use her hands to accomplish any task. At that exact moment, she knew her goal in life – designing jewelry.
We went to India for our honeymoon, where we took a motorcycle tour to the Himalayas, which was quite an extreme vacation. During one of our stops in Dharamsala – an inspiring place with a lot of interesting courses – Liron took a goldsmithing course. We gained there a lot of knowledge and tools and got back home. We opened our business and made our first steps in the jewelry business.
Why it’s our favorite set?
Our jewelry is very expensive and one day our client really wanted to buy this set but he had no money to pay, so instead of doing this to her in gold and diamond we made her a replica and we used silver and zircons. Then we realized that no matter who is in front of us we will do fine jewelry for each and every budget that the person has. We love to make people happy and to see them excited about our jewelry.
We use 3D technology to design our jewelry. This digital technology allows us to achieve very complex designs, and thanks to it we can do everything we want. It also gives us the opportunity to design each piece of jewelry to the client’s budget.
We see our future leading designers in the wedding engagement rings industry. We want to travel to exhibitions around the world and show our special designs.
Do you know the saying: “The shoemaker goes barefoot” – This is exactly what describes us. We hardly wear jewelry and just want to make people happy with the talent given to us.
Thanks for sharing with us, Roi & Liron! Your shop contains some truly beautiful rings and it must be a wonderful feeling to know you are helping to create magical moments for couples around the globe!

In mechanical engineering, Key is a part of a machine or equipment where it is used to connect the rotating machine element to the shaft and enables the torque transmission. In this article, we are going to discuss what are the different types of Keys in machine design.
As we said above Key is a part of a machine or equipment where it is used to connect the rotating machine element(Hub/Pulley) to the shaft and enables the torque transmission. The key will have a provision in both the shaft and the machine element which needed to be connected. this is called Keyway.
These keys are temporary fastening elements and are subject to the crushing and the shearing stress.
There are different types of the keys available.
Based on the shape and key accommodation, following are the different types of keys in machine design.
When a key is provided with the half portion in the shaft and the other half portion in the hub, then the key is known as the Sunk Key.
There are different varieties in the sunk key itself.
The size of the key will be based on the diameter(d) of the shaft (Or the diameter of the Bore in the hub).
See the picture of how the rectangular sunk key in an actual position.
In this case, the w = h = d/4.
See the picture of how the Square sunk key in an actual position.
When a square sunk key or the rectangular sunk key having the uniform cross-section without any taper then it can be called as The parallel sunk key. But in the above mentioned the Square sunk key or the Rectangular sunk key they will be having the taper along the length of the key.
See the Picture of how the Parallel sunk key in an actual position.
Simply a rectangular sunk key with a head to facilitate the easy removal is known as the Gib-headed key. as simple as that.
See the Picture of how the Gib-Head key in an actual position.
A feather key is a parallel key which is fastened to one part(Hub/shaft) with help of the screws called the feather key. Sometimes a double gib-head key can be a fether key by locking it the one part(hub/shaft). As you can see in the below pictures.
See the above both Pictures how the Feather key in an actual position. The left one is locked with the setscrews, Right one is locked with the help of the double Gib-Head Key.
The woodruff key is in a piece from the cylindrical disc as shown in the Figure, and its main advantage is that it can be adjustable, tilt in the keyway or keyseat.
See the Picture of how the Woodruff key in an actual position.
A flat saddle key is taper key and having a provision in the hub only and will be floated on the shaft and hold the shaft by means of the friction. so it can be used for light loads. It used for temporary fastening only.
A Hallow saddle key is also a taper key here also it will have the provision in the hub only, but the contact portion of the key with the shat will be shaped into a curvature to get the full grip on the shaft for better friction.
Tangent keys are used in heavy-duty equipment. Tangent keys are actually a pair. These pair of keys are placed right angles to each other and tangent to the surface of the shaft as shown in the fig. each key will withstand the torsion in one direction only.
Round keys are circular in section and fit into the holes. The round keys will be placed half portion hole in the shaft and the other half portion hole in the hub as shown in the fig. These type of shaft keys are usually prepared for the low power drives.
All the above-mentioned keys are individual parts. what happens when the keys are integral parts of the shaft or hub. That what we called as the Splined shafts.
These are used in the special applications like where we have to transmit the torque larger in portion than the shaft size. you can see these spline shafts in an automobile transmission, sliding gear transmissions.
These are the different types of shaft keys available for connecting the machine elements. we have discussed sub-variants in the different types of keys also. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Post updated with links to individual reviews.
We've already outlined our initial plans for the Fringe in our Preview post, but after a more in-depth look at the programme I've picked out a further 5 shows that I'll be attending at the Festival without Waldorf's company (thanks to the benefits of a day job with flexi-time).
Fin Kennedy's "Mehndi Night" (review now posted) performed by a group of Bengali teenagers centres around the night before a traditional Bengali wedding. I enjoy reading Fin's blog but would always have wanted to see this as I love a glimpse into other cultures, although the promise of a free samosa and cup of chai helped.
As well as "Yellow Moon", David Greig also has a new work being performed - "Damascus" (review now posted) which promises "laughter, romance and tragedy" - what more could I ask for?
"The Butler Did It!?" (review now posted) with QMUC students mocks Agatha Christie style whodunnits - a genre that just isn't mocked enough. Hoping this will provide some light relief.
With "Killer Joe" (review now posted) takes us into the world of "trailer trash" which has so much potential I'm trying not to read too much about the show beforehand - I want to go into this without any idea what to expect, although "darkly comic" is always a description that will get my attention.
FourthAngel are a new company and there was just something about "Turn Me To Stone" (review now posted) that caught my eye - yep okay, it was that "darkly comic" label that got me again.
That probably concludes our plans for the 2007 Fringe - 16 shows in total, although there are plenty of other shows we would like to see see but sadly can't make work in our schedules, often due to them having fairly limited runs. In particular, "Tiny Dynamite" still hasn't made our plans - its 9.30pm start time is just that little too late for a comfortable return to Glasgow.
Many thanks, Statler, for your comment on Clcokwork Orange for the dylanwolf blogspot. I'm a not infrequent visitor to your blog as you seem to have the same sort of enthusiasm for theatre as myself.
Your Edinburgh Fringe previews are a great help as the "Wee Dramas" myself plus two daughters with one boyfriend (not shared!) and one family friend are making our first ever trip to the Fringe this summer and are mightily confused by the abundance on offer! Particularly me, also equally dazzled by the contemporaneous Book Festival.
My biggest current wish is for "Black Watch" to find a venue somewhere south of the border. Preferably the NEC in Birmingham!
Congratulations and thanks for the super blog. Keep it up and I'll weigh in with support whenever I spot you on the Guardian's CiF!
Indeed, I agree with many of the things you mention.
The Traverse looks goo this year, no?
Useful thoughts here to help with the almost impossible task of trying to choose from 2000+ shows on the Fringe and International Festival.

This is a multi-purpose page based on the various things I do. I spend substantial time improvising and typically try to make most of that practice as non-guitaristic (i.e. non-clichéd) as possible, but it makes sense to post the things that are more straight forward guitar here as well.
I did a Schenectady TedX talk in 2016 called, “Past Forward” which dealt with the intersection of Art, Commerce and Scarcity in the music industry. That can be viewed below or found here.
My YouTube page – which features almost every project I’ve recorded with – can be found here.
One of my current projects – a Capital Region dance group called Embe Esti has a 3-song live demo that can be listened to here.
Triad, the latest EP from KoriSoron (2017) can be streamed here.
This Is The Rough Hewn Trio, the long overdue debut recording from The Rough Hewn Trio (also 2017) can be streamed here.
A/Live, the first EP from KoriSoron (2016) can be streamed here.
We Bleed The Sun And Make It Pay…, the existential ode to dread masquerading as a recording of a Black Sabbath inspired aesthetic as influenced by the performances of Ornette Coleman can be purchased here.
Copyright issues prevent me from posting any of the commercials or many of the recordings that I’ve played on. While this is unfortunate from the standpoint of documentation – I fully respect the wishes and rights of the people I’ve been fortunate enough to play with and for.
If you’ve come here from a lessons post and want to hear more – I’ve posted a series of short acoustic and electric excerpts below so you don’t have to listen to 15 minute tracks.
As a player I try to bring a number of influences in that allude to various things without quoting any of them directly.
For straight-up guitar playing, this live except of me taking a solo on the traditional Irish tune Drowsy Maggie is the best example I have of a bunch of divergent styles (like bluegrass, koto and Vlatko Stevfanovski) coming together in what (for me) is an interesting way.
or this improvisation played on baglama saz.
You can read a lot more about the session and some tips for session playing in general in a post I wrote for guitar-muse.com here.
This is actually part of my Ultrasonic review, but I’m putting the mp3 here as well. Ren, is an improvised track based around a simple melody and harmonic idea. What actually happened is I was playing a solo laptop gig and found a drum loop and remembered to hit record on Logic. The performance is heartfelt though, even when the guitar goes out of tune at the end hence its inclusion here. This is a headphone mix w. kind of a Daniel Lanois vibe. This was played on an FNH Ultrasonic going into a pod X3 into Logic. Drums are Tunetrack.
One of my favorite sonic co-conspirators is Carmina Escobar. She does some truly amazing work with solo voice, loops and music concrete elements in improvisation and I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with her in a duo improvisation project called DuoDenum for the last year. During that time, we have accompanied a number of silent films, but our goal was always to work in real-time composition with real-time film to allow an immediate connection with the audience by creating something anchored in the present moment.
This recording was an improvised accompaniment made to a Live Film created by the incredible Solu (Mia Mikela) @ USC. Some of the source material we were improvising to can be seenhere.
Information on Solu and her work can be found here.
Written and recorded in real-time and captured by a Zoom H4 .
Much of my favorite improvisation work is done in duo contexts. This recording was made with a Zoom H4 and features Ingo Deul on drums. Ingo and I later went on to do an improvised accompaniment to the film Regen (Rain).
The true origins of my improvisation exploration have its roots in work I was doing with drummer Geoff Chase in Boston. He had a project called “Directive 4” that featured rock improvisation and out of those sessions came the impetus of the Tubtime project.
At what we didn’t realize to be the very end of the TubTime cycle – we moved from the practice space we were recording in and booked a day at Moontower Studio in Cambridge.
I told the engineer to record everything that happened, which fortunately he did – because this was 1/2 of the soundcheck we did to check levels.
Written and tracked in real time.
the front end of a Fender Hot Rod Deville (4×10 amp).
The amp and most the effects were stolen from a rehearsal space several years later. This was essentially the signal chain for the Tubtime stuff as well.

This is the first of a set (not a series...there's no particular order) of articles I'll write on how JRuby is using invokedynamic. Hopefully they will show Rubyists how drastically invokedynamic is going to improve JRuby, and show other JVM language folks how to use invokedynamic effectively.
I figured it's about time for me to start writing a bit on how JRuby is actually using invokedynamic.
As of today, JRuby utilizes invokedynamic far more than any other mainstream JVM language. We have worked very closely with the JSR leads and the OpenJDK developers to make sure invokedynamic runs well. And we have been advocating invokedynamic as a game-changer for the JVM and for JVM languages.
Let's explore one area where JRuby is using invokedynamic: Ruby's "constant" lookup.
A constant in Ruby is defined on a class or module, and is subject to Ruby's typical namespacing logic. Constants start with a capital letter.
I often put "constants" in parentheses because constant values can be reassigned. This will usually produce a warning...but not an error. This means we can't simply look up constant values once and never look them up again (without special tricks I'll get into later).
Constant lookup is a also bit more complicated than method lookup. When retrieving a constant, Ruby first scans lexically-enclosing scopes' classes and modules for the constant. If the constant can't be found, the next search walks the current class's inheritance hierarchy. If we still can't find the constant, const_missing is called on the current class.
In order to make constant lookup fast, we want to do some sort of caching. In classic JRuby, Ruby 1.9 (YARV), Rubinius, and probably most other modern Ruby implementations, this is done with a global serial number. Whenever a constant is updated or a module is included (changing the inheritance hierarchy) all cached constants everywhere are forced to lookup again.
I have played with mechanisms for reducing the global impact of constant invalidation, but because constants can be looked up lexically it's simply too complicated to localize (since we need invalidate classes down-hierarchy from the change and we also need to update all lexical scopes that might see the change).
If cache is empty or invalid, retrieve the constant value in the usual way (lexical, hierarchical search). Store the value with the current global constant serial number.
On subsequent lookups, check cache for validity against the global constant serial number. If we have a value cached and the cache is still valid, return it.
If any constant in the system is updated, or if a module is included into an existing class hierarchy, flip the serial number and force future constant lookups to re-cache.
This turns out to work fairly well. The same mechanism in Ruby 1.9 produced drastically faster constant lookups, and JRuby's performance is even better than 1.9.
But there's a problem here. Because there's this constant pinging of the global constant serial number, every constant access can potentially produce a new value. So we're paying the cost to check that serial number as well as interfering with optimizations that want to see constant values actually be constant.
You can think of method handles and the chains of adapter handles that stitch them together as a special sort of functional language the JVM knows how to optimize. Given a chain of handles, you should usually get a piece of code that optimizes as well as (or better, in some cases) writing the same logic by hand in Java.
The invokedynamic bytecode simply provides a place to plug a method handle chain into code. When the JVM encounters an invokedynamic bytecode, it calls a "bootstrap method" associated with that bytecode for further instructions.
The bootstrap method returns a CallSite object, provided in java.lang.invoke. There are constant call sites for constant values, mutable call sites for when the target handle chain may have to change, and volatile call sites for when those changes must immediately be reflected across threads.
Once a CallSite has been installed for a given invokedynamic, subsequent hits skip the bootstrapping process, and we're off to the races.
I mentioned that the MethodHandles class provides a "guardWithTest" method for combining a test, a target (the "then" branch), and a fallback (the "else" branch). SwitchPoint, also in java.lang.invoke, acts like an on/off guardWithTest that once turned off can never be turned on again. You provide a target and fallback, and until the "switch" is thrown the target will be invoked. After the switch is thrown the fallback will be called.
What's the difference between this and a guardWithTest where the test just pings some global value? The difference is that SwitchPoint doesn't need to check anything.
When the JVM decides to optimize a piece of code, it does so in an optimistic way. In very broad terms, this means it assumes its information up to this point is perfect: no new methods or classes will be introduced, profiling information is accurate, etc. Based on this "perfect" view of the world, it aggressively optimizes code.
Of course, the world isn't perfect. The JVM has to give up profiling and monitoring at some point, so it always has an imperfect view of the system. In order to avoid its aggressive optimizations triggering a fatal error later on, JVMs like OpenJDK (Hotspot) do something called deoptimization.
Branches out of compiled code back into the interpreter, when compiled code is determined to be invalid.
Guards around inlined virtual method accesses, to ensure we're still calling against the same class.
Because of this ability to deoptimize, it's possible to support zero-cost guards at the JVM level. Returning to SwitchPoint, we can see how this new form of "guardWithTest" can be basically free: we're explicitly telling the JVM this switch is a rare occurrence it can optimize aggressively.
JRuby on invokedynamic uses SwitchPoint for constant lookup, as you'd expect. Instead of actively pinging that global constant serial number, we instead use a global SwitchPoint object to guard all cached constant accesses. When it comes time to invalidate the system's constants, we just flip the SwitchPoint off and create a new one. All SwitchPoint-guarded constant accesses in the system must then recache and use the new SwitchPoint.
In a well-behaved system, we should reach a steady state where no new constants are being defined and no new modules are being introduced. Because we're using SwitchPoint, the stable state means all constant accesses are treated as truly constant by the JVM, allowing optimizations that were impossible before. And of course this also means that we've achieved constant lookup performance very near a theoretical maximum.
The benchmark we're running is a modified version of bench_const_lookup in JRuby's benchmark suite. The modification here runs more iterations (10M instead of 1M) with more constant lookups (50 instead of 10) to get a better idea of optimized performance.
As I said before, this is pretty good. JRuby's existing constant lookup performance is roughly 2x faster than Ruby 1.9.2.
The perf hit of purely volatile SwitchPoint is apparent.
This is basically the performance of the 10M iteration loop alone. In fact, if you look at the resulting optimized assembly, the constant accesses have been eliminated entirely since they're optimistically inlined and never used. Of course this would normally not happen in real code, but it shows how much better the JVM can optimized Ruby's behavior using invokedynamic.
Seems unhelpful to compare benchmarks where one shows the work completely optimized away. What is the comparison if the value is actually computed and returned?
Brian: That's certainly true, but it demonstrates that the logic of looking up the constant is completely optimized away. As a result, if the constant isn't used, it's not retrieved.
I'm working on some better benchmarks now, since invokedynamic is starting to optimize Ruby code so well that it disappears in trivial benchmarks. That's a good thing!
In any case, if the constant accesses weren't optimizing completely away, they'd each be equivalent to a single memory access...or to a register access, if Hotspot decides to optimize it that way. In any case, it's just about as fast as it can possibly be.
Wonderful stuff - you make Invokedynamic sound like magic pixie dust!
Why wouldn't the constants normally be inlined in real code?
I imagine the global serial number check was a small amount of bytecode. How much more bytecode is associated with using a call site instead? Do you have a feel yet for how much code size impact there will be using call sites everywhere?
Why did you get my hopes up like that!? When I saw the title I thought you meant that invokedynamic is O(1).
What is the time complexity of invokedynamic?
All this logic can inline, but because of the variability and memory indirections, none of it can be eliminated. The new logic stores the constant value directly at the access site, so there's no indirection. SwitchPoint then handles throwing that optimized version away if anything changes.
Rich: In this case, the constant caching via invokedynamic results in *nearly zero* bytecode. I emit an invokedynamic that's bootstrapped with a MutableCallSite. The site's target is a SwitchPoint.guardWithTest that wraps the actual constant value. Ultimately, SwitchPoint and MutableCallSite logic don't make it into asm, so the constant access is a direct memory retrieval from a location known to be immutable. As a result, it all folds away if the value is not used.
Paul: I'm not sure where joke ends and real question begins :) I'll answer the whole thing as though it's serious.
Of course I'm talking about lookup for Ruby constants. In the cached case, this is O(1) in both versions, though it's a much smaller 1 with invokedynamic. In the uncached case, it's O(N) where N is the number of lexical scopes + hierarchical ancestors to search.
Charles: So you are saying you can set up a call site, bootstrap method etc with no bytecode? I'm not talking about what gets run per call, but the code for setting up the sites - i.e. how much bigger is your program?
Rich: Ahh, the actual plumbing.
The program itself contains *only* the invokedynamic bytecode and associated constant pool entries. The bootstrap method can live anywhere, such as in your own runtime library, and you just re-use it for the invokedynamic bytecodes.
So tl;dr answer to your question is: the bootstrap method has to live somewhere, but not necessarily in the code that contains invokedynamic.
This is great stuff. Although I don't personally use JRuby/Ruby, I do use several other JVM-based languages, including developing an internal one. I have looked into seeing how invokedynamic could improve our language. It is great to see how the community uses invokedynamic and its performance benefits.
In your future 'sets' of blog articles on invokedynamic, can you add more code/context such as the creation of the bootstrap and the call sites. Many of the examples out there are either too simple or just way outdated (to the point that even the package/class names no longer apply). I'd enjoy being able to see the different use cases of building up the call sites.
In any sense, keep up the great work. It is awesome that dynamic JVM languages can finally become highly performant.
Nicholas: Yes, I think I'm long overdue for an epic post on invokedynamic with code examples, etc. I'll try to do that some time soon, since I think I have a pretty good grasp of the practical implications now.
I'm trying to write a memcache gem for jRuby at the moment and I ran my performance benchmarks with vanilla OpenJDK 7 and jruby-head.
For some reason this very simple thing is slower than 1.6.4.
Are there any specific versions of Java and Jruby you suggest to try?
If you'd like I'll send you some benchmarks later on.

They are HOLDING HANDS telling each other stories.
This is a VERY mild confrontation by the way.
Usually the conflict is over some random toy that they both want to have. One kid didn't even care about said toy until they saw the other one had it.
I love parenting books. I love parenting blogs. I'll take any help I can get, but I'm finding that many of these books and blogs sure make things sound EASY. Everything sounds so simple.
Sharing and the reactions of anger displayed by my children are a huge issue in our household lately. I am trying desperately to get it through to them (my four year old especially) that reacting with screaming, yelling, hitting, kicking, crying and whining get NO results and only make things worse for them.
My son is two. He's going to take toys. I'm wanting Gwenyth to react calmly and ask for help rather than screaming, yelling, hitting, kicking, crying and whining. I want her to understand it's okay to be frustrated and angry. I want her to know that (sometimes) I agree with her and Reuben was out of line, but the reaction of the frustration and anger needs to be controlled. Not to mention sometimes these reactions lead to full on melt downs!
So I've been trying some of the things I have read about.
1. When dealing with sharing struggles, take away the toy from both of them. Wait until they calm down, and then ask them to come up with a sharing solution.
- More accurate instructions should read: Wrestle toy out of child's hands and hold it up above their heads as they desperately claw at it. Get yourself a pair of ear plugs, set yourself in a comfy chair and grab a magazine, because it will take TEN MINUTES for them to calm down. Then, ask them to come up with a solution. Now, wait TEN MORE MINUTES as they simply say the solution is "I want the toy! I should get the toy! I had it first!" over and over and over again. Ask if they will take a suggestion from you. Suggest setting a timer. After the timer goes off, the other gets the toy. Now wait another FIVE MINUTES as they repeat over and over, "I don't wanna set a timer! I just want the toy!" Finally, set the timer... Inevitably, one child says they don't want the toy anymore or finds something else to do. Every.Time.
2. When dealing with Gwenyth's angry reactions, acknowledge her emotions. Tell her how I can tell she is angry and frustrated by the ways she is moving her body. Tell her I understand her anger and frustration. Simply let her be angry and frustrated. Once she is calm, talk about a better way to handle the situation. Replay the scenario.
- Now this one sounds so perfect. I feel it's a really good thing to acknowledge emotions. I want my kids to know it's okay to feel emotion and talk emotively. Then, we replace the behavior. I love the idea of replaying a situation. To actually make them act out the scenario and use the calm reactions.
- What no one tells you is that you have to do this twenty times a day everyday and just when you think they understand it... you have to do it twenty more times.
What are your household battles right now? I encourage strategy sharing. And if you're a reader who is done with this stage... tell me it gets better!
My nanny babes are 1.5 and 3.5 years old. I have the same battles. Now, my luxury is, is that the kids are my only focus, as it is not my house, so I have all day to play the repeating game with them (and I get paid to do it, but YES, there are days when I am close to tears, as well. Now, compound the problem with the fact that the 3.5 year old has a speech problem, so has tried to "use his words", but it is hard to understand him, so he goes into hitting and pushing out of frustration--which I totally get!
Avery, the 1.5 year old is a climber and I repeat, "Avery, please get down from there!", probably 40-50 times a day--no joke. Finally, I realized that she wasn't listening to me, so one week I decided to nip it in the bud no matter how batty I got. Every time she was climbing on something, I said calmly, "Avery, no climbing on there," and I physically removed her and stood her on the floor and walked away--no other communication. When she goes back, I do the same exact thing in the same exact tone. By god, if she hasn't stopped climbing on the fireplace and the back of the couch (which has a huge window behind it)!! I wore her down!! Moral of the story: Stay strong and stick to your guns!! They will grow and learn, I promise!!!
ugh, in my experience, it gets better in a sense. five years down the road my two STILL argue about sharing certain things. usually they're toys that are of more importance or special meaning to them, not just anything. or even sharing personal space or their bedrooms, or something like that. what also gets better is the drama degree. they're still dramatic (because children) but the volume and melt down tendencies go way down. i think for me, as the mom, what's so frustrating is that they still argue about such things as sharing. i seriously expected that to disappear into thin air. so save yourself some future frustration and actually stull expect it to happen even 5+ years down the road. you'll save yourself a lot of disappointment. that's something parenting books should tell you more often!
p.s. i admire how intentional you are with your parenting role. your kids don't know it now, but they've hit the jackpot to have such a caring mom.
Awe, Sara, you are the sweetest! Thanks for being real, and I will expect it in the future; but I sure do look forward to a little less dramatic affect! I mean, when I think back to me and my brother... MY POOR MOM! How I expect it to get better so fast is just so unrealistic, but the parenting books do make it sound so easy!

SAN BERNARDINO – Contract negotiations with seven city employee groups ended Monday as the City Council voted to accept new contracts that cut nearly $26million in pay and benefits, in some cases without agreement from those unions.
RIALTO – Citing the need to present a united front as well as save the taxpayers money that would’ve been spent on a special election, the City Council in a 4-0 vote on Monday night appointed Lynn Hirtz to fill the vacant seat on the dais.
Former Sen. Bob Dutton will not be fined for having a Chevrolet Tahoe registered in his own name as well as a political committee he formed to pay for expenses related to his work in the Legislature.

CHINO – California labor officials assessed more than $1.3 million in penalties against Quetico, a distribution center firm that California Labor Commissioner Julie A. Su accused of committing wage theft.
Three months after lawmakers enacted public pension rollbacks, a new measure has surfaced that would exempt thousands of public transportation workers from the law.
A joint Assembly and the state Senate committee will conduct a hearing to determine the extent that California agencies are using off-budget accounts to hold money outside the state system.

What happens when the very badges chosen to dismantle and disempower the gangs of Los Angeles County form a gang of their own?
It's no secret that the L.A. County Sheriff's Department -- whose reputation with the public has completely disintegrated under Sheriff Lee Baca, in a swirl of scandals including rogue/racist deputies beating inmates to a pulp, prisoners in wheelchairs dragging themselves across the jailhouse floor, and worse -- is a breeding ground for deputy cliques.
But what about when the department's own Gang Enforcement Team morphs into a fiercely loyal group of gangsters in uniform who function outside department policy and fight street-gang violence with their own special brand of trigger-happy, Wild West policing?
The Los Angeles Times alleges in an anonymously sourced article posted yesterday evening that a group called the Jump Out Boys has formed within the elite gang unit. And sheriff's officials seem to be acknowledging the discovery of "a document suggesting the group embraces shootings as a badge of honor."
The document described a code of conduct for the Jump Out Boys, a clique of hard-charging, aggressive deputies who gain more respect after being involved in a shooting, according to sources with knowledge of the investigation. The pamphlet is relatively short, sources said, and explains that deputies earn admission into the group through the endorsement of members.
"The 'Jump Out Boys' are usually either the swat team, or the cops on stake outs inside the sound van, listening in on wire taps or wired informants. When tipped off, or alerted, these officers are known to jump out of the vehicle and subdue suspects by force... . Some gangs and/or squads are known to call themselves 'Jump Out Boys' due to their similar, jump out style."
"The last thing anybody wants to do in law enforcement is shoot a weapon," sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore tells the Times.
Then again, how can we really expect these little boys to behave any better, when a former (?) member of The Lynwood Vikings -- a "neo-Nazi, white supremacist gang" within the Sheriff's Department -- has been promoted to Baca's executive staff?
WitnessLA has acquired a partial list of Vikings working inside the department culled from sworn depositions for various court cases. The list indicates there are Vikings members scattered at supervisory levels throughout the LASD including inside the departments' internal investigatory units like IAB and ICIB.
Based on this information, it would appear the Vikings are investigating the Jump Out Boys.

Three uranium deposits - Ranger, Jabiluka and Koongarra – were never included in the Park's original boundaries.
Uranium mining was imposed on the Mirarr in the late 1970s and people would still prefer it had never come to their country.
Senior Traditional Owner Yvonne Margarula says that with mining: "The promises never last but the problems always do".
To convey a sense of the Mirarr's experience of imposed uranium mining, Gundjeihmi - in partnership with our colleagues at the Environment Centre NT - created Dirt Cheap 30 years on : the story of uranium mining in Kakadu .
The film includes rare footage (from the original 1980 film Dirt Cheap) of Mirarr Senior Traditional Owner Toby Gangale stating clear opposition to mining on his country. It also documents his prescient concerns about uranium. Dirt Cheap 30 years on shows how the Australian Federal Government overrode the human rights of Kakadu's Traditional Owners in order to impose a toxic industry in a World Heritage Area.
As is documented in Dirt Cheap 30 years on Yvonne Margarula’s father - the then Mirarr Senior Traditional Owner Toby Gangale - opposed plans for uranium exploration and mining on his country in the 1970s. His opposition, along with that of other local Aboriginal people, was overruled by the Federal Government when it legislated for the development of the Ranger Uranium Mine in 1976. Ranger commenced operations in 1980, the mine is now run by Energy Resources Australia (ERA) which is majority owned by Rio Tinto.
Since the early 1980s yellowcake from Mirarr land has been sent to fuel nuclear reactors in Japan, Europe and elsewhere.
As traditional landowners, the Mirarr bear responsibility for the impacts that activity on their land has on others. The possibility of uranium from Mirarr land being incorporated into a nuclear weapon or present at the site of a nuclear accident is therefore of enormous concern to Mirarr. Despite assurances from successive Federal Governments that Australian uranium is only sold for nuclear power, the fact remains that is impossible to guarantee Australian uranium does not end up in nuclear weapons.
In April 2011, following the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster in Japan, Yvonne Margarula wrote to UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon and expressed her sorrow at the impacts radiation is having on the lives of Japanese people. She noted that, ‘it is likely that the radiation problems at Fukushima are, at least in part, fuelled by uranium derived from our traditional lands. This makes us feel very sad.’ It has since been confirmed by Dr Robert Floyd, Director General of the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, that, “Australian obligated nuclear material was at the Fukushima Daiichi site”.
Ranger uranium mine is now coming to the end of its life. Mining has concluded and minimal processing of stockpiled ore continues as the company contemplates the enormous rehabilitation task.
A leach tank at Ranger uranium mine collapsed in December 2013 spilling over one million litres of radioactive slurry across the site.
A major concern for Mirarr and other Bininj are the potential negative impacts on human health and the environment from the operations of the Ranger uranium mine.
Over 200 spills, leaks and breaches of licence conditions have occurred in the four decades of the mine's existence.
In 2013, a major accident at Ranger resulted in the spilling of over one million litres of radiactive liquid .
All mining and processing at Ranger must conclude by January 2021. Rio Tinto and ERA then have a five year peroid in which they are required to rehabilitate the site to a standard such that it could be incorporated into the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park.
It is of the very highest priority for the Mirarr that rehabilitation is undertaken comprehensively and in a way that ensures the Mirarr and the Kakadu region are not left with the toxic legacy that Toby Gangale predicted when he said no to Ranger over four decades ago.
An ‘agreement’ for a second uranium mine on Mirarr country, at Jabiluka, was concluded in 1982 amid great controversy. The validity of the 1982 agreement is contested by the Mirarr, who maintain it was negotiated under extreme duress.
In the late 1990s ERA attempted to mine Jabiluka and the Mirarr initiated and lead a major national and international campaign against the development. The campaign was run both on environmental grounds as well as in recognition of the rights of the Traditional Owners. The campaign involved an eight-month blockade of the site by over 5000 peaceful protesters, two Federal Parliamentary inquiries, a high-level UNESCO mission to Kakadu, resolutions of the European Parliament and US Congress, significant national and international media coverage, and the receipt of major international awards for Yvonne Margarula and Jacqui Katona in recognition of their role in environmental and cultural protection. To date the Jabiluka uranium deposit has not been mined. Energy Resources of Australia has rehabilitated the site in consultation with the Mirarr.
In 2005 the Mirarr and ERA (now owned by Rio Tinto) entered into an agreement that quarantined the Jabiluka dispute by stating that mining may only proceed with the written consent of the Mirarr Traditional Owners. In doing so, Rio Tinto has given meaningful effect to policies of corporate social responsibility especially with respect to the rights of Indigenous peoples.
Over the years of the Jabiluka campaign the Mirarr remained firm in their resistance to unwanted development despite persistent pressure and confidence from the government and mining company that a mine at Jabiluka was inevitable. In their struggle to protect their country and culture Traditional Owners made it crystal clear that Jabiluka was not a sustainable option for one of the world’s largest resource companies. The outcome at Jabiluka demonstrates the role that Indigenous people everywhere should be able to have in determining what happens to their country and their community.
Watch Pip Starr's documentary of the Jabiluka Blockade "Fight for Country"
Koongarra was one of three uranium deposits (along with Ranger and Jabiluka) excluded from the original Kakadu National Park boundaries. Koongarra lies within the traditional lands of the Djok clan and is a region of approximately 12,000 hectares.
The Koongarra uranium deposit is very close to the world famous Nourlangie rock where thousands of visitors view ancient rock art every year. The area is important in traditional storylines that include the Rainbow Serpent and Lightning Man.
It is also home to an estimated 15,000 tonnes of high grade uranium which the French nuclear and mining giant Areva has been trying to access and develop for several decades.
Jeffrey Lee is the Senior Traditional Owner of the Djok clan and speaks for Koongarra. Jeffrey has long resisted Areva's promises of wealth and remained firm in his commitment to care for the land. In 2010 Jeffrey Lee asked the Federal Government to protect Koongarra once and for all by including it within Kakadu, stating at the time: "When you dig a hole in that country you are killing me. I don't worry about money at all."
The Mirarr have a company clan relationship with the Djok and have supported Jeffrey in his efforts to protect his country from mining.
Mirarr and GAC staff attended the World Heritage Committee meeting in 2011 with Jeffrey to seek permanent protection for the Koongarra region from the threat of uranium mining.
The Federal Government promised to honour Jeffrey Lee's wishes and in February 2013 Koongarra was finally included into the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park.
The area is now permanently protected from uranium mining and included within the National Park.

By Andy Swan. Roof Saver.
When you see the ICC-ES ESR # or Miami-Dade County NOA# you’ll be confident that the product meets performance criteria established by a group of professionals including roofers, code inspectors, the insurance industry, and manufacturers.
The most successful roofing sales pros provide a portfolio of beautiful photos showing the top-quality results they know the customer expects. This is the same thought that manufacturers of quality building products use when presenting the results of independent 3rd-party testing of their products. You can expect the product to perform based on rigorous testing designed to prove compliance with the building code.
The package or product itself is labeled with a certification mark such as an ICC-ES ESR # or Miami-Dade County NOA# to signify that the product has been tested and found to comply with national standards by a qualified, independent testing laboratory. The certification mark also tells the user that the product is subject to an ongoing follow-up program to ensure continued compliance during manufacturing.
When you see the ICC-ES ESR # or Miami-Dade County NOA# you’ll be confident that the product meets performance criteria established by a group of professionals including roofers, code inspectors, the insurance industry, and manufacturers. Feedback from these pros is used to continue to improve the test requirements to provide real-world challenges to demonstrate product performance.
In the case of a static ventilation device like an attic ridge vent, the tests include a measurement of the Net Free Area (NFA) provided by the vent. This is a critical piece of information used by the pro on the job to ensure the installation has at least the minimum NFA for the attic.
The Dust Exposure Test involves blowing 15.4 pounds of dust across a roof mockup at speeds varying from 5 to 15 mph over a 2 hour and 20-minute period. The weight of the vent prior to the test is compared to the final weight to identify the amount of dust that builds up on the outside surface of the vent. As you can imagine, a vent that retains a high percentage of the dust is likely to plug and suffer a loss of NFA over time. So, the change in pressure drop through the vent media is measured at various air speeds prior to releasing the dust into the airstream and after all the dust is blown over the roof mockup.
Temperature Cycling demonstrates the effects of 25 cycles where the vent media installed on a roof mockup is placed in a controlled environment and the temperature is adjusted from -40 F to 70 F to 180 F, then back down to 70 F and -40 F. To add a little real-world spice, water is sprayed onto the vent to simulate 6 inches of rainfall per hour while the temperature is between 40 and 60 F. If the vent itself or the fasteners fail to perform, the test results expose the problem in the lab rather than on the roof.
Plastic vents not covered by a roof covering must undergo Weathering Tests to show the effects of exposure to damaging UV energy from the sun. I liken this test to the rookie that shows up without a hat or sunscreen. They’ll learn the hard way that the right preparation allows you to perform in grueling conditions.
Resistance to Wind-driven Rain and Snow is another required test to determine how the vent prevents (or allows) rain and snow penetration into the building. In the Miami-Dade County version, an aircraft propeller blows wind across the roof assembly at speeds up to 110 mph while a downpour simulates 8-inch per hour rainfall. Are we having fun yet? Passing this test demonstrates how the vent performs in High Velocity Hurricane Zone conditions.
The tests detailed above should give you pause the next time you make a choice of products for a project. One reason manufacturers choose to have 3rd party testing performed and that you should look for the certification marks is because you and your customer expect excellence.
Roof Saver is your trusted brand backed by industry certifications, extensive independent testing and a 40-year warranty. You can have the confidence in its performance to use Roof Saver® rolled ridge vent for your customers. Learn more about Roof Saver.

Although I love my 3 series, and I love my new little Mazda 5 van, I'm currently very excited about the new upcoming 2007 BMW X5. When it debuts, I can probably trade in both my cars, and get one car (or SAV as BMW calls the X5) that will not only haul all my family, it will also be a sweet ride.
According to this X5World post, it looks like it's going to be officially anounced next week. I can't wait!!

If you have just separated or are likely to, it is important you get advice about what will happen with custody of the children.
Most of the time, parents who have separated agree on the future parenting of their children. For some, the children might live with one parent, and see the other at weekends, holidays and special days. For others, the children may effectively have two homes and spend an equal amount of time with each parent. For many, the arrangements are somewhere between.
Sadly, not all agreements can be made amicably, or there may be extenuating circumstances that mean parents choose to litigate in the family court system. Litigating child matters in the courts can be particularly emotionally straining for all parties involved and is often considered to be a last resort. That being said, it is important to understand the process and implications if you’re considering seeking custody as part of a separation. In this article, we seek to provide some clarity around the process of seeking child custody.
The term ‘custody’ is actually no longer used by the family law courts, however it is still used regularly by others and in the media. In Australia, parenting arrangements fall under the Family Law Act 1975, which covers divorce and separation, property separation, parenting arrangements and financial maintenance. The terms ‘custody’ and ‘access’ are no longer used and have been replaced with ‘live with’ arrangements and ‘spend time with’ arrangements as preferred terms.
What is the legal process for getting child custody?
There are no standard arrangements for the care of a child following separation, however the starting point is Section 65E of the Family Law Act. This details the basis of who a child will ‘spend time with’ and who a child will ‘live with’.
The law assumes firstly that decision making is shared amongst parents (for example decisions around religion, medical treatments, changes to where a child lives or to their name or decisions around their education), unless in circumstances of a risk of family violence or abuse. However, equal shared parental responsibility does not always mean that there is an automatic right to spend an equal amount of time with the child. This decision is made by the Courts in the best interests of the child.
Should I go to court for child custody?
It is most often the case that parenting arrangements can be made without the intervention of the Courts. Most lawyers would recommend finding alternative ways to finding a resolution, for example mediation. By appointing an experienced family lawyer and taking a proactive approach to litigation, it is very possible to avoid the Court or leave the court system sooner, allowing you to move on and raise your children.
We pride ourselves on only a very small percentage of our matters making it to a final hearing in the court because the advice we give is pragmatic and we explore all opportunities available to settle your matter without the high cost associated with litigation to the end.
Do I want sole parental responsibility?
Why do I want sole parental responsibility? Do I have a genuine concern about the other party’s ability to care for the children and/or capacity to co-parent effectively?
Why do I want the children to live with me? Do I have a genuine concern about the children’s ability to adjust or the new lifestyle of my ex-partner?
Are my children at risk of violence, abuse or neglect? Do I have any evidence of this?
If your concerns are genuine and you cannot come to a resolution outside of the Court, you can file an application in the Family Law Courts for Parenting Orders. You should seek advice about whether any exemptions to attending family dispute resolution first apply to your circumstances.
What is the process for getting a court order?
You must demonstrate that you have tried alternative methods of dispute resolution prior to filing an application with the courts, unless your situation is urgent or another exemption applies (for example it involves family violence or child abuse). It is imperative to get advice from your solicitor prior to taking any action.
If you are unable to reach an agreement, documents need to be filed with the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, including the initiating application, affidavit(s), mediation certificate, notice of risk and the court filing fee. In some cases, an application may need to be filed with the Family Court of Australia. It is really important to seek advice from a family law expert if you are considering going down this path. We can guide you through the parenting arrangements process, avoiding litigation where possible and ensuring you can the best outcome for your children and family. If Court is the only option, then we can guide you through the litigation process.
What if I already have a parenting arrangement in place and circumstances change?
Firstly, it depends how the parenting arrangement is recorded. If you have a court order and want to vary it, you may need to satisfy the Court that there has been a significant change in circumstances, which requires expert family law advice.
The above gives you just a snapshot of some of the complex factors involved when considering child custody. It is possible to avoid Court and come to a resolution that suits both parties, particularly with the support of a friendly, understanding and compassionate family lawyer. At Daykin Family Law, we’ve worked with hundreds of parents to come a resolution in the best interests of their children.
We have developed close relationships with psychologists and social workers who also act as experts in the Family Law Courts and can help you and your family stay out of the Court system wherever possible. If Court is the only option, we can discuss with you ways to keep your legal costs down and work with you to achieve the result you desire.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s style has the elegance and panache of a fancy Hollywood set—and that’s no surprise, given the designer’s long line of A-list clientele and his own notoriety for his award-winning design work. And 2018 was another banner year. Bullard’s own kitchen—fresh off of a remodel and in a home he’d coveted for years—was named Kitchen of the Year by House Beautiful magazine in 2018. The style-rich space is full of glamour, cutting edge technology and nods to the home’s Mediterranean architecture. Here, Bullard takes us through his many design inspirations, his new lighting collection with Corbett Lighting and the space in his home he says is built for entertaining.
Where do you begin when designing something as monumental as THE KITCHEN OF THE YEAR (and, more importantly, your own kitchen for many years to come). Does it begin with research on the era of the home?
The design process is always, firstly, inspired by the architecture and the period of the home. For my own house, I looked at the 1920s Mediterranean architecture and decided to take some Moroccan influences in the design of my kitchen, which is a style that appears within the interior architectural elements of the houses original features. The cabinets and tiles have a period feel, almost exotic, yet all with the most modern appliances and conveniences used for absolute luxury and ease when cooking and entertaining.
Tell us about the lighting collection you designed with Corbett Lighting. Did the collection start with the Melrose pendant that hangs over your kitchen island?
The collection is inspired by my travels and is a mix of the many styles and periods that I love. There are so many pieces that have different expressions to them, which for me makes the collection both fresh and unexpected. The Magic Garden, for instance, was inspired by the paper cut-outs of the camellia flowers that Coco Chanel would decorate her Paris atelier with, eventually becoming her signature of eternal style.
The Hopper captures a mid-century look that Dennis Hopper himself loved and used extensively throughout his homes in the 1960s and 70s. The most famed of which, is now, in fact, my own home. Each piece has a story and vibe that’s very personal to me and I am thrilled in how it has evolved into this eclectic, beautiful and strong collection.
Editor’s Note: Dennis Hopper was a former resident of Bullard’s current 1920s Hollywood Hills home.
Were the fixtures designed with certain rooms or applications in mind?
No, when designing the collection, there were no rooms or specific locations in mind, it was more about a feeling and passion for scale, glamour and interior statement.
Is the Melrose your favorite design from the collection? Tell us about some of your favorites and the inspiration behind some of the designs.
The Melrose is certainly one of my favorites. I love the scale and the French industrial 40’s feeling that it exudes, yet it still feels very modern and strong at the same time. The finish on the mixed metals is aged to perfection, like a fine wine, and adds such history, character and luster to the piece.
The Carayes is also a favorite. I love the texture and the scale. Inspired by my love of tropical 70’s vibes and woven fibers, this piece takes center stage wherever it hangs and can be just as beautiful at home in the Hamptons or in the Bahamas.
The Milan, with its hand-blown Murano glass butterflies, is a magnificent piece, Italian in inspiration and boldly modern in scale. It’s a complete fantasy and holds a mystical quality, especially when the bulbs are dimmed down allowing the golden flakes in the glass to glow like lightning bugs in the dimmed shadows of the bulbs.
We personally love your bar space—it’s amazing—but do you have a favorite thing about your kitchen or home? What is so special about it?
I love my kitchen island. It’s not only the perfect place to create meals upon, but it’s also a serving table, a casual breakfast and lunch spot, and it’s the heart of my kitchen. It houses wine fridges, under counter food fridge, porcelain storage and lined silver cabinets as well as a front-loading microwave, rarely used, yet a vital tool.
My bar, however, is the highlight of the space. It’s a delicious room that’s welcoming, enticing and has been the scene of much frivolity. I believe that no home is complete without some kind of bar, whether it’s a bar cart or, in my very lucky case, a complete space that is the most fun spot in the house to entertain!
We have so much more to explore in 2019. New chandeliers and ceiling fixtures are of course, in the cards, with scale and detail being the most important design factor. But I am most enthusiastic about our exciting lamp line. It is going to be my new signature collection to add to the assortment. Ceramics, mixed metals, enamel and stone. All mixed, matches and patterned in the most original and fanciful ways. I’m really excited about the new launch and could not be more honored or thrilled to work with such an incredible company and their talented team.

(June 21, 2014) Typically I’m all about suffering fools gladly because I am so wise. Today, not so much. Well, not so much the suffering fools part I mean. Of course I’m still wise. That’s why you read my blog right? The Phil Factor: Where Wisdom Gets Drunk and Let’s Its Hair Down. Here are two people that I hate with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.

Oh, I got one!! When people are making a turn at an intersection and they wait until there’s about 6 car lengths between them and the car in front of them before they turn…by the time they do, the light is red again. I have to take time out from my car dancing to yell “Come on already, buddy!!!” Oh…so frustrating.
I don’t go to deli counters much so I’ll need the advice from your post.
I have to say you pulled out two of my pet peeves. I agree with you to the point that I wish flogging was legal.
how about a grumpy old man at the deli counter ordering lunch meat in ounces. I was behind that guy yesterday, phew took forever.
I don’t like ice in my drink because usually soda is cold enough just coming out of the machine. I am not a huge fan of cold beverages, with the exception of milk shakes.
I agree that soda is cold enough coming out of the machine.
The should/food rhyme was awesome!
The check writer people kill me. Or the people who don’t say ‘thank you’ when you hold the door open for them, they just pretend you’re their personal doorman and keep walking. At least give me a tip if you’re going to ignore me, jerk.
Time to stop. My froth overfloweth.
Oh, the check writers….yes, agree on that and the no-ice guy too. Very good choices. I am sure I can come up with a few more but I don’t want to fill up your comments section! LOL.
What about people who buy pre-made packets of ice in the supermarket and pay with checks?
Those are the worst humans ever.
