Over years of owning OMSI 2, it becomes quite annoying when no Australian buses are publicly released. Due to this, I decided to begin working on not only a Bustech SBV, and VST, but also a new map mod to vary away from the big city theme of Manly (Act 2) - So, here are some images of the SBV at the moment, and it is no where near completion, but I am working on it as hard as I can
So, the map is on a lower priority, but it will also be based in a northern area of NSW. I would like to see if there is much interest for an SBV and/or VST? And if so, let me know what other Australian buses you would like to see developed for OMSI 2
Thanks, Callum

It's National School Lunch Week!
So I graduated from high school in 1979 — Hanford Falcons YEAH! — I spent the last couple of years in school jumping in my buddy's car and heading to to Artic Circle drive in in Richland, maybe McDonalds. But before we got our driver's licenses and we could leave campus we had to eat school lunch or pack our own lunch.
From about the time I was in First grade I remember there were rules about how you could put your tray on the line and the lunch lady would plop food on your plate. There were even some kids that volunteered to help serve lunch in the cafeteria. Boy what a job that was! I wonder if they got extra lunch or leftovers.
I had my favorites and I had my dislikes. COuldn't wait for Friday Pizza day or a monday chili & cinnamon roll day on a cold winter day.
So the history of school lunch goes back to the late 1800's however school cafeterias didn't come about until the 1930's. Nowadays kids can cruise thru a salad bar and eat ala carte!. But even today schools are still trying to come up with meals that kids will love.!
To see the history of school lunch check out this bit of history on School Lunch!

text: Americans have to wait until January 2013 for the third season of Downton Abbey, but in the meantime, PBS has imported another British period drama series to air this fall. Call the Midwife—about a group of bicycle-riding, newly-trained midwives working out of a nursing convent in East London in the 1950s—was a huge hit in the UK, and actually beat the second season of Downton Abbey in ratings. The show, based on the best-selling memoirs by Jennifer Worth, follows young, fairly inexperienced midwives working in the midst of a baby boom shortly after the NHS came into effect in England. Sure, the clothing isn't as fancy with Eastenders as with the aristocratic Crawleys, but giving birth is surely bound to bring on a significant amount of drama. Besides, you can't get much more female-centric than a show completely about nuns, nurses and pregnant ladies.

Myanmar is one of the most closed off and least-connected countries in the world -- but with a newly opening government, this is rapidly changing.
Cisco announced today that it is setting up two technology training centers in the Southeast Asian country, according to USAID. The centers, dubbed Networking Academies, will be aimed at teaching residents tech skills.
This announcement comes after Cisco executives joined USAID, Google, HP, Intel, and Microsoft in a tech delegation visit to the country.
"We knew that in order for everyone in the country to benefit from a digital economy and for the government to develop the know-how to navigate the technology, Internet was key," USAID chief innovation officer Maura O'Neill said in a statement. "Fortunately the companies involved in the tech delegation have experience developing and rolling out projects in digital literacy and business skill training in other countries on a massive scale."
While the delegation was geared toward technology education in the country, many companies also seem to have commercial interests in Myanmar.
Cell phone use in Myanmar is lower than it is in North Korea, according to the Associated Press. This is mainly due to the prohibitively expensive cost of SIM cards, which go for $300 to $500. However, with new government reforms to the telecommunications sector these prices will likely go down. Apparently, 91 international companies have now bid on two Myanmar telecom licenses.
A heavy-handed military regime has ruled over the Southeast Asian country for decades. Despite new reforms, the country is just in the beginning phases of change. In the past, Myanmar has regularly been listed as one of the world's "Enemies of the Internet" with the government periodically blocking access to the Web, Gmail, and other e-mail services.
Just last month, Google warned a handful of journalists that the Myanmar government was spying on them via e-mail. Government officials have denied these allegations, however.
Myanmar and the U.S. just recently renewed ties after decades of sanctions. According to the Associated Press, USAID resumed work in the country in November. Besides forging new technology partnerships, the government agency is also working on health, food security, democracy, human rights, and rule of law programs.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rapper Kanye West has been charged with battery and attempted grand theft for an alleged altercation with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport, a city official said on Friday.
The alleged altercation took place on July 19, Los Angeles City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said.
A video posted on celebrity news website TMZ of the incident shows the Grammy-winning rapper glaring at photographers as he leaves the airport. West confronts one of the photographers and appears to lunge at him.
Mateljan said that West, 36, also attempted to take equipment from the photographer.
Each misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison.
West is scheduled to be arraigned in Los Angeles on October 10. The rapper's representative did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday.
West has become a frequent target of paparazzi after striking up a romance last year with reality TV star Kim Kardashian. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named North West, in June.

The mayor of Bridgeport should soon release the voting results from Bridgeport.
As of Thurday night, the secretary of the state had yet to release the official vote totals in the governor's race, in which both Democrat Dan Malloy and Republican Tom Foley have claimed victory. When that will happen remains a mystery.
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz blames elections officials in Bridgeport for the delay.
"I am doing my job and I am just waiting for the registrars to do their job in Bridgeport,' she told reporters on Thursday. "I cannot compel Bridgeport to prepare their return and get it to us."
Several polling places in the state's largest city ran out of ballots on Tuesday after elections officials ordered almost 50,000 ballots fewer than needed for every registered voter.
Some voters left without voting, frustrated by long lines. Other people voted on photocopied versions of the ballot.
As of Thursday afternoon, ballots were still being counted in Bridgeport.
Unofficial returns from Tuesday's election showed Malloy beating Foley by 3,103 votes out of more than 1.1 million cast, above the threshold of 2,000 or fewer votes that would have triggered an automatic recount. That number didn't include absentee ballots, but Bysiewicz didn't expect those ballots to change the outcome of the race.
Foley had asked Bysiewicz on Thursday to not release any more vote totals until tally discrepancies are sorted out.
"In the last 24 hours alone, Bridgeport has revised downward the number of votes cast for Dan Malloy by over 3,500," Foley campaign spokesman Justin Clark said in a statement. "Other cities and towns are likely to revise their results in the days ahead."
But Bysiewicz spokesman Av Harris said she would be announcing the official results anyway, because that's what the secretary of the state does after every election once vote counts from all cities and towns are in.
"This is normal. This is what happens after every election," Harris said.
During a news conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Bysiewicz if they should disregard the numbers she gave on Wednesday, when she declared Malloy the projected winner.
"I am reminding you that I gave you unofficial numbers," she said.
So, the wait goes on. Instead of a news conference releasing the numbers, Bysiewicz addressed reporters to say the numbers are still not in.
"It is the usual course that the larger cities, because they have so many precincts, take awhile to present their results. So I know everyone is anxious. .., We are just as anxious as you are, but the law requires that we receive the returns," she said.
State officials did release numbers but left out the numbers for Bridgeport entirely:
Foley has 556,787 votes without Bridgeport. Malloy, and Malloy's Working Families party have a combined 548,347. That's a difference of 8,409 votes without the state's largest city, which tends to vote for Democrats.
AP figures include all but 10 precincts in Bridgeport and show Malloy with 565,508 and Foley with 559,268.
Malloy said Wednesday that his numbers show he won by at least 11,000 votes, while Foley said his numbers showed him winning by just under 2,000 votes.
"Since early Wednesday morning, we have said we're 100 percent confident that when the final vote is certified, Dan Malloy will be declared the winner by a margin comfortably outside what is necessary to trigger a recount. Nothing that's happened since has changed that," Malloy's campaign manager Dan Kelly said on Thursday.
Foley said Thursday afternoon that he still believed he had won the race.
"Until we have final numbers from the towns that are not going to be amended, I don't think anybody should be calling the race," he said. "I think everybody should stand back and focus on getting accurate numbers.
"We believe that after all the votes are accurately tabulated that we will have won," he said.
The voting in Bridgeport has become a major issue. A ballot shortage Tuesday led to long lines and reports of voters leaving polling places without voting. Because of the problems, a state judge ordered a dozen polling places in the city to remain open until 10 p.m., two hours after polls closed elsewhere.
Bridgeport elections officials gave some voters photocopied ballots and counted those by hand instead of running them through the optical-scan machines.
Republicans voiced concerns about the photocopied ballots and the extended voting hours and criticized Bysiewicz for declaring Malloy the winner based on unofficial vote totals. But the GOP hasn't filed any formal complaints yet, state GOP Chairman Chris Healy said.
Both Foley and Malloy began forming transition teams Wednesday in anticipation of becoming Connecticut's 88th governor, succeeding retiring Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell.

Bruno Schulz (1892-1942) is one of the relatively few Polish authors of fiction who enjoy international recognition. Originally published in the 1930s, since the early 1960s the Polish-Jewish writer and visual artist's oneiric short stories have been translated and retranslated into almost forty languages, despite their seemingly untranslatable style: an exquisitely rich poetic prose, comprised of meandering syntax and multi-tiered metaphors. In English-speaking countries, Schulz's name was made in the late 1970s, when his Street of Crocodiles, first published in English in 1963 in both the UK and the US (the British edition was titled Cinnamon Shops, following closely the original Polish Sklepy cynamonowe), was reissued in Philip Roth's influential Penguin series Writers from the Other Europe (1977), alongside Milan Kundera and other authors from behind the Iron Curtain whom the West had yet to discover. Schulz's second story collection, Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass (Polish: Sanatorium pod Klepsydrą), followed shortly (1978), and ever since then both volumes have been regularly republished and reprinted, as well as in series such as Picador Classics (1988), Penguin 20th Century Classics (1992), and Penguin Classics (2008).
This summer, the Northwestern University Press announced that "an authoritative new translation of the complete fiction of Bruno Schulz" by Madeline Levine, Professor Emerita of Slavic Literatures at the University of North Carolina, is forthcoming in March 2018. Commissioned by the Polish Book Institute and publicized already since 2012, this retranslation has been impatiently awaited, especially by Schulz scholars dissatisfied with the old translation by Celina Wieniewska. Indeed, it's great that Levine's version is finally going to see the light of day—it is certainly going to yet strengthen Schulz's already strong position. Unfortunately, the preferred (and easiest) way of promoting retranslations is to criticize and ridicule previous translations and, more often than not, translators. Even though the retranslator herself has spoken of her predecessor with much respect, showing understanding of Wieniewska's goals, strategies, and the historical context in which she was working, I doubt that journalists, critics, and bloggers are going to show as much consideration.
In an attempt to counter this trend, I would like to present an overview of the life and work of Celina Wieniewska, since I believe that rather than being representative of a certain kind of invisibility as a translator (her name brought up only in connection with her 'faults'), she deserves attention as the co-author of Schulz's international success. Much like Edwin and Willa Muir, whose translations of Kafka have been criticised as dated and error-ridden, but proved successful in their day, Wieniewska's version was instrumental in introducing Schulz's writing to English-speaking readers around the world. Before Levine's retranslation takes over, let's take a moment to celebrate her predecessor, who was a truly extraordinary figure and has been undeservedly forgotten.

Empowerment in the workplace is an often-misunderstood concept. Employee empowerment is a term that many managers and organizations think they understand, but few actually do, and even fewer really put into practice.
Many managers feel that by empowering employees, they relinquish the responsibility to lead and control the organization. This is not the case. Empowerment is actually a culmination of many of the ideas and tenets of employee satisfaction that are discussed and analyzed frequently in a variety of books and periodicals focused on the subject.
For an organization to practice and foster employee empowerment, the management must trust and communicate with employees. Employee communication is one of the strongest signs of employee empowerment in an organization. Management must be willing to communicate every aspect of the business to its employees in an open and honest manner. This communication may include: elements of the strategic plan, financial performance, key performance indicators and daily-decision making.
Employee empowerment has been described and defined in many ways but is generally accepted as: the process of enabling an employee to think, behave, act, react and control their work in more autonomous ways, as to be in control of one's own destiny. Effective employee empowerment not only has positive implications for employee satisfaction, but also many other organizational facets, such as member service and member retention.
Empowering employees leads to organizational encouragement of entrepreneurial traits and prompts employees to make decisions, take action, and foster their belief that they can take control of their own destinies. This belief leads to self-motivation and a sense of independence that is translated into greater loyalty and extra effort for the organization. Empowered employees come to believe that they control their own success through their efforts and hard work, which in turn benefits the success of the entire institution.
The most important factor in effective employee empowerment is bilateral communication. Employee surveys and evaluations show repeatedly that empowerment and communication rate highest in regard to employee satisfaction in an organization. Companies committed to employee empowerment provide more information in greater detail than the average company.
Empowering employees to increase their satisfaction and the organization's performance will require a greater amount of communication than ever thought possible. This will require management to invest in increased amounts of time communicating to employees and allowing for feedback. In addition, it will require that management honestly evaluate the communication styles and methods that are being used in the institution to ensure the most efficient processes possible.
Communicating and sharing information accomplishes several objectives that are not only important for the empowerment process, but also for overall employee satisfaction with the organization.
Employee empowerment requires a strong and lasting commitment from an organization's management. A pervasive misconception in relation to employee empowerment is that it is a top-down desire. Employee empowerment comes from the individual. That is not to say that management ceases to have the responsibility to lead the group and is not responsible for performance. In fact, companies that seek to empower employees demand stronger leadership and accountability. This begins with executive leadership, through all management levels and includes frontline supervisors. Successful employee empowerment initiatives require the entire organization to work together as a team in order for the benefits to be realized.
Employee empowerment is an acknowledgment by an organization's management that they realize that their employees have a lot to offer. Employees derive satisfaction from many aspects of employee empowerment endeavors, not the least of which is the corresponding benefits that allow an organization to become more competitive, profitable, and innovative.
An organization can realize many benefits from learning how to properly empower its employees; not all of which are strictly monetary. An empowered employee helps a company improve service delivery, continuously become more innovative, increase productivity, and gain a competitive edge.
Traditional top-down management tends to stifle worker productivity, create barriers to innovative solutions, and adversely affect employee satisfaction. Employee empowerment utilizes a participatory management style that requires a great deal of employee involvement to be successful. An organization that embraces the concept of employee empowerment redefines traditional workplace democratization in both terms of scope and role of the employee in the decision-making process.
A good lens by which to examine the employee and organizational benefits of employee empowerment is through the members of the institution. It is a well-known fact that institutions which are truly successful in delivering exceptional member service have several traits in common, one of which is employee empowerment.
In simple terms, organizations that empower member service representatives, allow them to make decisions that promote and enhance member satisfaction. There are now many companies that tout employee empowerment as a selling point to prospective customers. They advertise the fact that the employee empowerment philosophy allows their employees several important capabilities, including the ability to respond intelligently and independently to customer needs, and make critical decisions on-the-spot.
In addition to the employee, organizational and member benefits already cited here, employee empowerment holds added benefits and outcome for employees. One of the measures of success for any organization is the personal growth and development of its employees.
Empowerment allows employees the added opportunity to build on their current skill set. Being empowered gives them the ability to use all the skills that they already possess as well as gain new skills and experiences. Being able to hone and exercise their creativity and innovation skills will benefit them as they progress to higher positions within the organization.
When encouraged with care, empowerment is a panacea for many organization ills. All managers and employees say they want empowerment, as it is considered a strategy to develop employees and serve members, which in turn will serve the company.
The simple fact is that truly empowered employees have more self-confidence, are more creative and innovative, understand the strategic direction of the organization and are able to act upon this strategy, which in turn is mutually beneficial to both the employee and the organization for which they work!
Anthony L. Emerson is president and CEO of the Credit Union League of Connecticut.

The Danish star, who is currently ranked at No.6 in the world rankings, is one of a host of top ranked players from the women's WTA Tour to accept a place in the tournament, which will take place from 16-23 June.
Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, reigning AEGON International champion Marion Bartoli and 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic have also announced their participation.
Polish world No.3 Agnieszka Radwanska and world No.10 Vera Zvonareva from Russia are the other headline players in a world class field in Eastbourne.
In the men's draw, France's Richard Gasquet is the highest ranked player in the draw while Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, who confirmed his entry last month, and Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber will also be in action.
Australian teenager Bernard Tomic, who reached the quarter-finals at The Championships, Wimbledon, last year has also signed up for the week-long tournament.

Quidditch played above the ground below, I zoom,
Avoiding bludgers on my sleek broom stick.
The beaters nearby to keep me safe, I'm slick.
No one thought to ask why the dragons so loomed,
Why there coming pronounced such grave doom.
The chasers zoom 'round, to find the quaffle,
While the keeper guards the goals, I waffle.
Snitch in view, I, the seeker on my broom.
But the roars and the fire reach closer,
We're becoming antsy as such fearsome —
Dragons fly into the field, some they screech.
No one sees, how short a lifetime is made,
When you're flying for your life, no exposure,
If revealed, dragons will take you to keep.

The name hematite derives it meaning from the greek word for blood. The reason for the origin of hematite's name might be related to the high iron content found in hematite (almost 70%), which made hematite a popular healing stone for blood-related disorders.

Okay, you should definitely read the title of this post in the manner of the song from Chicago. In the comments to a previous post, Slightly Metaphysical mentioned that "there have been some comments on AVEN that asexuality is a white identity". It's a statement I've heard implied before. Okay, once. But still, it's something that's being asked, somewhere. I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of asexuals, and I've seen racial diversity in those I've met. As much as exists in my particular area as a whole? That, I don't know. As far as the question goes, I find it impossible to even guess at it directly. To do that, I feel like I'd need some sort of data both about asexuals and about the racial makeup of other queer identities. I think it's a multi-pronged question, but there is one small (?) prong I feel confident tackling. And that's class.
I don't think it's that surprising to state that at least in America, race tends to map onto class. In different regions of America, you'll find people of various backgrounds who predominate as "the poor". The constant is that the higher you go in terms of socio-economic class, the more white people there are. Of course, there are non-white people who are affluent and there are plenty of poor whites. However, when I look at the very rich people in my area, and then look at the people in poverty, I am generally looking first at white people, then at people of color.
So while class and race aren't permanently married, they can be connected statistically, and this is an idea you'll have to consider buying into in order for the rest of this post to relate to asexuals and race. My thesis here is that while I may not be able to prove (or disprove) a racial divide in people who identify as asexual, I may be able to prove that there is a class divide.
First, a fact: Most of the information available on asexuality is on the internet. And a lot of people still don't have access to the internet. "The digital divide" is a reality even in America. When poor people do have internet access, they might be using public or shared computers, and would have to accomplish the essentials rather than doing exploratory research on sexuality. If you're a low-income person, you might not have a job that requires you to use a computer, and you might have not learned to use one. This especially applies to older people, if the advent of computers happened when they were already out of school.
There's also the fact that when you're in poverty, you might not have all that much free time. Time-saving conveniences cost money, so being poor usually takes up a lot of someone's time. Since asexuality is the lack of a feeling, I think it can be a lot harder to realize you're asexual than to realize you're gay or bi. For me, I don't think it was a coincidence that I discovered I was asexual when I was able to spend some time in relative solitude, away from my everyday life. A lot of people in poverty don't have that opportunity. College is a prime time for people to question their identities, including sexuality, but you have to be able to afford to go there, at least in the US. Your income doesn't affect how thoughtful you are or how much you question. But, there are certain environments that are more conducive to those things than others. Being in poverty can include a lot of urgent worries like unsafe living conditions or medical problems you can't afford to fix.
I think one reason for the class disparity isn't that AVEN (the place from which most info on asexuality springs forth) is inherently classist or anything but that it just doesn't have the resources to target particular groups of people beyond the media that comes to us. Hopefully, this will change in time. I think that in the future, people of all classes will know about asexuality, however, right now, I think that knowledge of asexuality is largely skewed towards people who are relatively more affluent, or at least come from families fitting that description. I know some readers will be thinking, "Well, I'm asexual, and I'm poor". But it's not individuals I'm talking about here, it's general trends. And of course, people who weren't able to find out about asexuality due to class-based reasons (or any reason, I guess) won't be reading this and commenting here. So that's my theory...or at least, one potential circuitous route.

We remember this battle not because of the battle itself, but because of the 26 miles that the messenger had to run to Athens to deliver the good news. What battle was this?
The Battle of Marathon was when the Persian King Darius I attacked the ancient Greeks for siding with the Ionians, who had revolted from him. However, 6,000 Persians died, compared to less then 200 Greeks. Pheidippides, a messenger, supposedly ran non-stop to Athens to deliver the good news, but died upon delivering the message.

Many people are depressed, I think, because they fear that our current enemies are too fanatical to be stopped. This is why suicide bombers are so horrifying. But the reality is that there have always been a great many people willing to die, as well as kill, for their beliefs. That is a constant through history. Japan's kamikaze bombers are one obvious example out of many. A Japanese person piloting an airplane today could easily fly it into a ship, if he were willing to die; the difference today is that no one wants to die for the cause of Japanese imperialism. Why? Because Japanese imperialism was defeated. Once Islamofascism has been crushed militarily, the supply of suicide bombers (and terrorists generally) will dry up quickly.

Long-term care insurance can be worth the premiums
When her first husband entered a nursing home 19 years ago, the costs nearly crippled Claire Harmon.
Her former spouse, Myron Angel, lingered for three years before dying at age 71.
Claire, now 75 and remarried, wanted much better protection from the devastating costs that can come during the last years of life.
Now remarried, she and her second husband, Albert, 81, bought long-term care insurance.
The policies, which they've had seven years, aren't cheap -- nearly $6,000 a year -- but Harmon has no regrets.
In January, Albert entered Mary Manning Walsh Home, a nursing facility on the upper East Side near the Harmon's apartment. A retired real estate manager, he suffers from chronic dementia and other ailments. Claire wasn't capable of being his sole caregiver any longer, even though he's still capable of some tasks.
The price of Albert's care at Mary Manning Walsh -- including room and board, and round-the-clock monitoring by nursing professionals -- is a staggering $146,000 a year, or $400 a day. Thanks to his insurance policy, more than half is covered.
"If I had to pay out of my pocket, I would spend down most of my savings, and then what would happen to me?" asked Claire, the artistic director of a chamber music series. (The answer is she would eventually have to turn to Medicaid, the government assistance program for the poor).
No one wants to think about getting old, losing control of basic living skills or needing assistance 24/7.
But with in-home care and nursing home costs soaring, the best time to prepare financially for this chapter of life is long before you get there.
"Most people deny this whole thing, especially men," said Manhattan financial planner Al Clapp, a specialist in elder planning who advised the Harmons. "But who the hell can afford $100,000 a year?"
Ignoring the issue could lead to the loss of life's savings. "I've seen the cost of long-term care bankrupt people," said Long Island, N.Y., elder care lawyer Ellen Weiss.
Many people believe the government will largely take care of them in their old age. But Medicare doesn't pay for most long-term care, and Medicaid kicks in only when there's virtually nothing left -- when you have less than $4,200 in cash or assets in your name.
There are exceptions for married couples. If your spouse is in a nursing home, government assistance rules allow you to keep as much as $101,640, as well as your home and still qualify for Medicaid, said Manhattan elder law attorney Robert Freedman.
But if you're single, you're in a much tougher spot than before. A provision in the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 has made it tougher to give away your money to loved ones in order to qualify for Medicaid.
"The government is saying no more free lunch," said Long Island financial planner J.J. Burns. "Medicaid will go after your kids and follow where the money went." Gifts to relatives are more easily sheltered from government collectors if there's a long time span between the transfer of cash or assets and an application for Medicare. For more information, check www.nyspltc.org.
For many, the best option is long-term care insurance, and planning early is key. Policies differ based on length of coverage and daily benefits. The younger you are, the cheaper your policy.
For instance, a three-year policy, with 5 percent compounding inflation protection, paying $200 a day in benefits would cost a 55-year-old about $1,800 a year, but a 65-year-old would have to pay nearly twice that, Clapp said. Life-time policies are available, and may be worthwhile, but cost substantially more.
If you can afford it, start thinking about long-term care insurance as early as age 50, Burns said. "You're entering your hurricane years, when diabetes, stroke and heart disease can hit," he said.
Younger people with family histories of medical trouble are also good candidates for long-term care insurance.
Of course, no one can predict the type of services they'll need.
Six years ago, when the Harmons bought their long-term care insurance, they were willing to pay more for the ability to choose care at home or at a nursing facility. But by early this year, his condition made a nursing home a necessity. "He can't bathe, walk or dress himself," Claire said.
She said she's grateful they had the foresight to buy a policy that allows her husband to be in a nearby, high-quality nursing home. "It's a very loving place," she said. "It's close to where we live. I can make him feel comfortable."

Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (NYSE:SFE), a holding company that provides growth capital and operational support to life sciences and technology companies, today announced that it deployed $6.5 million of an $8.7 million Series B financing for AppFirst, Inc., a New York, NY-based company that provides cloud-based application performance monitoring (APM) solutions for the enterprise. FirstMark Capital and Javelin Venture Partners also participated in the round. Proceeds from the funding will be focused primarily on expanding sales and marketing and accelerating platform enhancements.
AppFirst is an APM solution that provides unprecedented visibility into critical, top-line business metrics. Through its SaaS-based DevOps Dashboard, AppFirst captures the most detailed information ever collected from an entire application stack, including millions of infrastructure, application and business metrics, aggregates them and then correlates them in a single, big data repository that eliminates the need for users to search for data in multiple places. Data is collected continuously to provide customers with visibility into their entire infrastructure and every application running in production, delivering actionable data and bringing overall system management to a whole new level of efficiency.
"There are rapidly evolving waves of new technologies impacting the enterprise, including mobile, cloud, big data, social and M2M," said Philip D. Moyer, Managing Director, Technology at Safeguard, who joined AppFirst's Board of Directors. "In particular, there is a dramatic shift towards cloud-based infrastructure and agile development methodologies that has increased the pace of release of new application code by 3x-5x. The traditional tools that make up the $2 billion APM market are only affordable to 5% of the applications in production and they simply weren't designed for the cloud or this new pace of development.

"I grew up on my grandfather's farm in northern Ohio where I helped in the fields and with the livestock. My other grandfather took me into the woods to hunt and onto the lake to fish. Solitary hours in the fields, woods, and on the lake provided ample opportunity to ponder the beauty and power of nature. The ordered beauty of crop rows and the concentric ripples on water's surface made an impression on me. Coupled with a religious upbringing, my faith embraces the notion of a universe created and sustained by a supreme being. A degree in physics fuels my inquisitive nature and reinforces my astonishment at the intricacies of life and the physical processes that drive our universe."
Kent Krugh is a fine art photographer, living and working in Greater Cincinnati, OH. He holds a B.A. in Physics (1977) from Ohio Northern University and an MS in Radiological Physics (1978) from the University of Cincinnati. He began a serious study of photography, eventually attending workshops in alternative processes with Dan Burkholder and Craig Barber.
"My portraits of trees are photomontages, and by virtue of the process used to create them, can be considered "inverse panoramas", in that I circumambulate each tree, making many combined images of it through 360º degrees. When I select and emphasize an individual tree, my intention is not only to depict the tree but to cross through a threshold, allowing the viewer to listen and explore and perhaps relate to the central figure in ways not before understood or realized. It is as if one opens a gate into another spiritual realm where time and space are collapsed. I have at times considered these images as from a divine perspective or vantage point. From the perspective of the tree, they also represent a passage of events and time. Why are we drawn so to the tree? Of course it is similar to ourselves in its branching, arterial-like symmetry; but is there another way to appreciate a tree? John Ernest Phythian reminds us that "It is not by pretending the trees to be human that we can become and continue keenly interested in them but by seeing and feeling both their likeness to us and their difference from us.
In the making of these images, I am attracted to the tree by its form, size and setting. Often while driving, I spot a candidate to photograph and debate in my mind if I want to pull over and wade through the wet grass or simply continue home. It is the potential for that next interesting and mysterious print that drives my ambition to collect more images. Another tree for the collection. Another window into creation."

Hello, everybody. Today I'm going to be telling you how to use basic regular expressions, often abbreviated as "regex" or "regexp". Firstly, what is a regular expression? A regular expression is a pattern describing a certain amount of text. Regular expressions can aid in matching, parsing, validating, and otherwise checking or processing a string. They can save large amounts of time by condensing long algorithms into a single concise string. Most modern programming languages have support for utilizing regular expressions. Even though I mainly use Java, I'll try to provide application implementation examples in as many languages as possible.
To process a regular expression, you need a regular expression engine. Generally, the engine is part of whatever language, SDK, etc. that you are using, so you won't have to access it directly. Not all regular expression engines are the same, although the most commonly used one that is mainly the standard is the engine in Perl 5. Since this is the standard, deservedly so, I'll base this tutorial around it.
Firstly, let's learn about the anatomy of a regular expression.
The simplest component of a regular expression is a literal character which matches the same literal character.
Let's take the regular expression g. This would match the first occurance of g in a string you compared it against. Regular expressions rock would match while The character isn't here would not.
Not all characters can be used as literals by themselves. These are special characters. In the Perl 5 engine, there are 11 special characters: [\^$.|?*+(). If you want to use these as literals, you need to escape them with a backslash, such as if you wanted to match ps waux | grep, you would have to use ps waux \| grep.
There are things called character sets which allow you to match one of several characters. You place the characters you want to match inside square brackets. You can also use ranges with a hyphen inside of character sets such as 0-9, meaning 0,1,2,3,...,9. Take the following regular expression: gr[ae]y. This would match either gray or grey. You could match and number one through 9 with [0-9].
One of the most commonly used special characters is the dot. A . matches any character except for a newline (OS-dependant). Inside character sets, dots are implied to be escaped. Be careful with the dot and don't use it as a way to be lazy as it can result in unexpected consequences, such as matching characters you didn't mean to. Use character classes whenever possible.
You can also try to match the beginning and end of a string using ^ and $ respectively. The regular expression ^word$ would match word but not this word is cool.
By using parentheses, you can group a part of an expression. This can allow you to apply a quantifier, etc. to the entire group, not just the individual parts.
By using the pipe/bar operator, you can specify the regex engine to match either the left side of it or the right side. They can also be strung together into a string of three or more options such as in x|y|z which would match x, y, or z, but not any combination thereof. You can also use it along with parentheses to alternate only part of a regular expression: i am feeling (happy|sad) would match either i am feeling happy or i am feeling sad.
Finally, there are quantifiers. Quantifiers specify how many times a particular part of an expression is required to appear. The ? operator makes the preceeding item optional. (wo)?man would match either man or woman. The * operator requires the preceeding item zero or more times. The + requires the preceeding item one or more times. You can also specify an exact number of times for the preceeding item to be required with {n}, where n is the number of times the item should be required (should be at least 1). You can also use a component of the form {n,m} to specify a range of times the preceeding item should be required where n is the bottom range(inclusive) and m is the upper range(inclusive).
In each programming language, the way to invoke the regular expression engine is often different. Sometimes, the actually syntax of the expression itself is different because different engines vary. Next, I will list some common ways to check strings against regular expressions in some common programming languages:
The regular expression is written in the form "/expression/" WITHOUT the quotes. It is not a string literal.
So, with this, I hope you learned something from this tutorial. Feel free to leave feedback, suggestions, constructive criticism, etc. in the comments. Also, please don't reproduce this tutorial without giving me credit. Regular expressions can be a powerful, time-saving tool in programming if you understand them.

Can Priebus remake GOP, himself?
In two years as chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus established a reputation in Washington as an articulate, mild-mannered and perfectly pleasant young operative—who happened to be virtually irrelevant to the future of the GOP.
The bluntly worded "autopsy" of the 2012 Republican electoral disaster that Priebus unveiled Monday is an effort not simply to rebrand the party but to rebrand himself. The 41-year-old Wisconsin native was serving notice of his plan to go from a marginal figure to a consequential one.
Story Continued Below
Two big questions loom over Priebus's effort to revive his divided and demoralized party.
The first is whether it is even possible—in a modern era in which money and influence are more diffuse than a generation ago—for a national chairman to unite warring factions and organize a political revival.
The second is whether Priebus can overcome meekness and impose changes that are already inspiring controversy.
( Also on POLITICO: RNC digital plan tries to catch up to Dems)
His conflict-averse nature was on display Monday even at the National Press Club event in which he released his proposals for the GOP to shed its image as a refuge for "stuffy old men." One of the document's provisions is an endorsement of comprehensive immigration reform.
But when reporters pressed whether that means he supports a pathway to legal status for people who arrived illegally—precisely the issue on which his own party is acutely divided—the chairman went wobbly.
"To me all that means is that we have Republicans who are talking about it right now," he said, adding, "The details of what immigration reform is are not up for me to make."
In an interview with POLITICO, Priebus acknowledged that so far as chairman he has been focused on such custodial issues as getting the party out of debt and was seen as "basically a supporting actor."
Now, with the presidential election over and the party's future uncertain, comes "our opportunity to lead and not be the supporting actor anymore," he explained.
( Also on POLITICO: RNC: Voters see GOP as 'scary' and 'out of touch')
Asked about coming out of his shell, Priebus noted that he already did 280 media appearances last year.
Some party elders wonder, though, whether he has the chops and the gravitas to play at the highest levels of American politics. He faces a host of challenges, from tea party leeriness of the party establishment to increased competition for fundraising dollars, as he moves to implement more than 200 recommendations suggested by the task force he convened.

Story highlights
- The shutdown will put an "unprecedented" strain on power supply, authorities say
- The two reactors are halted because they are using unverified parts
- The government says there is no risk of a radiation leak from the parts in question
- Nuclear power is under increased scrutiny worldwide after the Japanese crisis
South Korea said Monday that it had shut down operations at two nuclear reactors after discovering that they were using parts supplied with forged quality certificates.
Halting the reactors to replace the parts will result in "an unprecedented level" of strain on the nation's power supply as it heads into the winter months, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said in a statement.
The controversy over the products used in the Korean reactors comes amid increased scrutiny of nuclear power worldwide following the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan during the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in March 2011.
The unverified parts in South Korea are products like fuses and power switches that don't pose a risk of causing a radiation leak, authorities said.
The plant operator, Korean Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., found that eight suppliers had sold it a total of 7,682 items with forged quality certificates between 2003 and 2012, according to the government. The total value of the products was around 820 million won, or $750,000.
The vast majority of those parts that were put into use went to two reactors at the Yonggwang Nuclear Power Plant in the southwest of the country, the government said. Those are the two reactors that are being shut down until at least the end of the year in order to replace all the unverified items.
The two reactors account for about 5% of South Korea's national power supply, according to the government. Their suspension will significantly reduce the amount of energy supply that South Korea holds in reserve each day during January and February.
Temperatures in areas of South Korea regularly drop well below freezing in the winter months.
The government has called on relevant agencies to enact measures this month to counteract the expected pressure on the power supply from the shutdown of the reactors.

How to Make a Table Slipcover
A well-dressed table can add sophistication to any room You can use this softening slipcover for a side table, a dining room table, a front hall table, or anywhere you want to add a bit of style with fabric.
Try this pretty table slipcover in a heavy brocade, denim, or even a cotton canvas. It features inverted pleats that add a touch of elegance; each pleat is centered along each of the table's lengths. You can add a simple ribbon trim to the bottom edges to match the ribbon you use for the bow detail, but avoid fringe because it's designed to extend to the floor. This project can be used for any size table.
To determine how many yards of fabric you need, add your table's height to the tabletop's circumference, add 12 inches per pleat, and divide by 36.
The table used for this example was 30 inches high, 30 inches long, and 24 inches wide. Adding the width of 30 inches to the length measurement, you get 54 inches. To that you add 12 inches per pleat for a total of 156 inches. Because the table is 30 inches high, 45-inch wide fabric would work perfectly. To find the total yardage needed divide 156 inches by 36 to come up with approximately 4-1/2 yards of 45-inch-wide fabric.
Your ribbon measurements should be in proportion to the size of the table you're treating.
Follow these steps to make your table cover:
Iron all your fabric well.
Measure your tabletop and add 1 inch to each measurement (for the seam allowance) and record it in your notebook as "Tabletop Pattern, Cut 1."
Measure the height and width of the front of the table, adding 12 inches to the width for the pleat allowance, plus 1 inch for the seam allowance to both measurements, and record the measurement in your notebook as "Front/Back Pattern, Cut 2."
Measure the height and depth of the side of the table, adding 12 inches to the width for the pleat allowance, plus 1 inch for the seam allowance to both measurements, and record it in your notebook as "Side Pattern, Cut 2."
If you're creating paper patterns, transfer the measurements to paper, cut the paper out, label each pattern piece, and use them to cut your fabric.
If you're just measuring your fabric, use an L-square to keep your edges straight, and cut your fabric.
Fold, press, and pin your two "Front/Back" pieces to create pleats.
Fold and pin your fabric in 12-inch increments, so that your pleat measures 6 inches (formed by the 3 inches of "tucked" fabric on either side).
Fold, press, and pin your two "Side" pieces to create pleats.
With the right sides together, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance, sew your panels in between the front and back panels.
Sew up to the top, leaving a 1/2-inch area unsewn so that you can sew around the corners when you add the top.
Pin the right side of your top panel to your skirt so that all the corners line up with the skirt seams.
Sew the slipcover top to the rest of your slipcover, matching corner to corner, and with a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
When sewing the unsewn 1/2-inch areas (see Step 8) to the slipcover top, be sure to back tack a few times so your seams will hold.
Hem any unstitched edges with a 1/2-inch seam allowance (or sew on decorative ribbon or other trim to the bottom edge).
Press your slipcover and put in on the table.
Add your bows by locating the top of a pleat and measuring down from the top 7 inches.
Pin two pieces of ribbon of equal length to the inside edge of the pleat. You can either remove the slipcover from the table and stitch the ribbons to the pleat and tie them into a bow, or you can work right on the table and hand stitch them on, whichever is easiest for you.
