every synagogue is different, especially when it comes to high holiday services. the prayerbook is dense and the language is beautiful. there are prayers that must be said but the rabbi still has a great deal of flexibility to choose what is read during services. i became very used to BT's way of doing things. toward the beginning of last thursday's service the rabbi read a sentence that i didn't remember and i was pretty sure i was in the right place. "this rosh hashanah, each of us enters this sanctuary with a different need."
the rabbi started his sermon and told everyone he had recently cried while looking at facebook. a colleague had posted a video that made him weep:
he spoke about the video and a little about storycorps and storytelling. he talked about being a people of stories and the importance of both sharing our stories, being open to really hearing other's stories.
when services were over, i didn't stay for the reception. i was feeling all the feels and needed to just process it all.
when i went home and told shawn, he laughed and said, "so he got your number." yeah, i think he did. i think i found a new congregation and rabbi. i also think i'm really and truly over being pissed off at my old rabbi. huh.

So, I've been playing with MySpace today because I think I'm getting a cold. But I found a slideshow thing that shows all my jewelry that I've posted there. It's not all I've made, not by a long shot, but I have to take lots more pictures, and then clip them and photoshop them, and get them all embedded, etc. This is hard work to stay on top of!
Question of the Day: What are you busy doing today?

Friday was a big day in the College. We had 3,000 students show up to Welcome to the Majors (see photos from the event here) and a lunch with more than 100 business leaders to hear Seth Godin speak and have a conversation about what it takes to differentiate yourself in today's business world. I thought you might all enjoy my comments at the lunch explaining why I wanted to bring Seth to UCF…..
Good Afternoon! It is such a pleasure to see so many of Orlando's Business Leaders in the audience today. We are starting a new era at the College and I am excited to share a stage with Seth Godin to tell you how business education is changing and how we can work together to build something remarkable here at the UCF College of Business.
I am especially thankful to our Sponsors: Burr Forman, Florida A&M Law School, Florida Blue, Florida High Tech Corridor, The Orlando Magic, UCF Marketing, and Verizon for helping to make this event possible. Seth's comments to 2000 students at Welcome to Majors this morning did much to help set the tone for the College of Business experience this year.
Before I ask Seth to say a few words to kick off our discussion, let me tell you a little bit about how we got to this place and why I wanted the Orlando Business Community to hear from him.
I have been a dean for eight years, (5 at UNLV and 3 here) and a faculty member for almost thirty. Over that time, I have become increasingly convinced that undergraduate business education is fast becoming a commodity..
- First, American trained faculty are using American concepts and theories to provide the same education to people around the world;
- Second, the internet has made information free, replacing the need for standard lectures and recitation sections
- And Third, on-line education allows anyone to be "a professor" and provides convenient, low-stress experiences with little regard to quality control….content is being built into the technology, the instructor is little more than a grader, and people can take these courses at home dressed in their bathrobes.
While information may be a commodity– perspective, experience and connectivity are not.
I believe that in education, the single most important person after the student is the person in front of the class.
I believe that no real learning occurs without people being uncomfortable.
I believe that today's business education is misaligned with the contemporary marketplace: that we are still trying to win the last war: one won with standardization, stability, and cost-minimization, rather than prepare students to win today through differentiation, quick pivots and unexpected options based on real time data.
I believe that the value of higher education lies in providing students with reason, perspective, intuition, and the qualities the market values: characteristics such as getting out of your comfort zone, taking smart risks, working across boundaries and knowing how to be a creative problem solver.
And, I believe that the only way to do this in higher education today is to create a culture where students engage with faculty, industry and each other every day.
As my beliefs were coming into clear focus, I stumbled upon on a TEDX talk called "Stop Stealing Dreams" by some guy named Seth Godin. Seth was asking many of the same questions I was:
- What if it was possible to teach habits, attitudes and mindsets like risk-taking, boundary-spanning, and persistence? (What if I could cure all helicopter parents, I thought..)
- What if we taught people what it really takes to succeed?
- What if instead of asking students to participate, we expected them to and supported them with a wide variety of opportunities to engage?
- What if we tried to differentiate the school this way, rather than just by having the best Department of Whatever?
Seth's video emboldened me.
And UCF had put me in a position to try to effectuate these types of change. No matter that I am at a huge College with 9000 students built on efficiency, standardization and per unit cost minimization. I have a faculty with a spirit for innovation, a committed staff, and a university leadership eager to let me try something different. UCF is decidedly that way…always expecting the next milestone
While Seth's words were encouraging, I went down this path because I believe it is the right thing to do and that the schools that figure this out first will win the future.
I don't have all the answers. I'm not even sure I know all the questions. But over the past three years, we have inched toward the edge of this cultural cliff by:
- Replacing academic advising with career counseling—students are required to think about their future and how they are going to get there, the day they walk into the building. This is NOT optional.
- Creating Welcome to the Majors—a signature experience that introduces students to our culture of engagement and challenges them to use their time here to take the actions necessary to realize their dreams.
- Implementing a Failure Competition where students compete for recognition by destigmatizing their failures, celebrating persistence and telling others what they can learn from the experience.
- Bringing greater visibility to college-wide rituals that emphasize cross-functional collaboration, data-driven decision-making, risk-taking and problem solving (e.g., Joust, Case Competition, etc.) AND
- Fashioning rewards for faculty and students who exhibit the qualities we hope to instill in all our students.
This semester, we take the plunge off the cliff's edge by
- Launching a New Integrated Business Major designed to create "students of the business" –people imbued with the qualities and skills needed to work in today's networked economy of many small and medium sized employers. AND…
- We are Opening the Exchange: A place where all students will be expected to come and engage with people from the business community: EVERY DAY at least 100 students will be exchanging experiences and ideas with thought-leaders who can help them invent their future.
This last effort is key: It involves an open invitation to the business community to engage with our students in conversations about how they can best approach what lies ahead.
I want The Exchange to be the centerpiece of the UCF College of Business Experience and I want all of you to help make it the cross-roads of town and gown on campus.
With so much at stake and so much ahead of us, I thought it was the perfect time to ask my muse (Seth) to come and challenge all of us to get this done.
As fate would have it, I had a connection: Dean Caravelis—an alum and great friend of the College who has developed a dialogue with Seth and attended one of his weekend retreats.
I called Dean and took him to lunch. We concocted a plan, you all chipped in, Dean printed these cool notepads, AND…..
Seth Godin is here. How Awesome!!!

When people think designer lights, its not uncommon to sub-consciously conjure images of Poul Henningsen's iconic designs. Henningsen developed the PH5 in 1958. This classic pendant light was an almost frustrated response to the ever changing standards (or lack there of) for bulb sizes in the 50s.
Poul would say "I have accepted fate, and with Louis Poulsen´s permission I have designed a PH fixture which can be used with any kind of light source, Christmas lights and 100 W metal-filament bulbs. Although a fluorescent tube would be too much to ask in the existing form!" Of course the Fluorescent bulbs have since come and even been surpassed by LED bulbs as we move towards more sustainable lighting.
The PH50 light was a reworking of the original PH5 in a variety of colours and finishes released in 2008 on the light's 50th anniversary. Available from Louis Poulsen.

A Prayer of Confession Inspired by Psalm 106/
The following prayer of Confession was written by Stephen Fearing and used at Conyers Presbyterian Church in Conyers, Georgia on Sunday, October 27th, 2013. On this date, CPC dedicated the newest addition to their worship life, the new Presbyterian Hymnal, Glory to God. The sung response throughout this confession is hymn number 576 in Glory to God. It is a simple, heartfelt, and concise sung confession that can be easily learned in almost any group. The confession is based off of the text of Psalm 106.
Forgive us for what we have done….
We have sinned.
We have rebelled.
We have forgotten your works.
We have put you to the test.
We have worshipped idols.
We have grumbled, provoked, and angered you.
We have sinned.
(Kyrie #576)
Forgive us for what we have left undone….
We have not considered your wonderful works.
We have not remembered the abundance
of your steadfast love.
We have not waited for your word.
We have not had faith in your promise.
We have not served you.
(Kyrie #576)
Remember us, O Lord.
Show favor upon us, your people.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us
that we might give thanks in your holy name
and glory in your praise.
(Kyrie #576)

My Daily Grateful - Dreams
Some people don't have the capacity to dream. Perhaps they are lacking imagination, life experience or confidence. Regardless, they make their way through life living from one event to the next never striving for much more.
I dream practically every night. I daydream. I sometimes spend far too much time in my dreamland. But I'm so thankful for the ability to dream. To hope. To set goals. To imagine a life with more of the things I love.
I'm an equal opportunity dreamer. I dream for my husband, my kids, my sisters, my besties.
I'm lucky because I don't have many bad dreams, but I do have them. Yet, I'm thankful for them too, because they ground me. Help me see that my dreams should to stay tethered to reality in some small way to make the dream a possibility.
I dream in French. Though I never became fluent in the language in the waking world, I will have entire dreams in French and I'm pretty sure I'm speaking it correctly as is everyone else.
Most of my dreams are chockfull of people I don't actually know…yet. Many of them I make up to fill a spot in my dream, but there have been several occasions where I've met the person later in life. My nighttime dreams can be very prophetic, but I don't think that is unusual, I just think I listen or remember more than most.
I have ghost dreams, that aren't scary. I have dystopian dreams that are. I have a reoccurring dream of hosting Saturday Night Live, with Josh Groban as the musical talent. I love that dream!
Mostly, I dream of a comfortable future for my family and lots of book contracts for me.
I'm grateful to have the capacity to dream and I'm thankful for my blog followers. Only 3 more days to enter my Gratitude Giveaway. Dream big, enter several and win, win, win.
Sweet dreams

Well it's been a quiet week or so since we last posted, at least for blogs. But remember that you can always check the Red Hat Developers site for more activity. In the meantime, let's take a look at what else has been going on.
The Hibernate team have been busy with updates to the project(s), including ORM 5.4.3.Final and Search 6.0.0.Alpha6. We've also had Andrew Dinn blogging about Byteman 4.0.7 being made available. Bela announced the release of JGroups 4.1.0, which now includes support for GraalVM and Quarkus! Speaking of Quarkus, Dimitris found time to write up his thoughts on the Quarkus announcement and what it meant for him personally but also for developers; it's a good read. And Bilgin touches on Quarkus in his article "Camel Rebirth with Subsecond Experiences", though there's a lot more in the article than just Quarkus so even if that's not an area of interest for you yet but you are a Camel user then definitely check it out. Finally, Eric has managed to publish a couple of articles on CodeReady Studio 12. One on setting up Data Virtualization Tooling and another on Process Automation Tooling.
OK, as I said at the start, it's been a bit quiet but no less interesting so hopefully you find something of interest in the above and maybe get the chance to give feedback to the authors and their respective projects! See you next time!
So in this week's entry we have a mixed bag of things to cover with no single focus area - the teams have been working across a number of areas.
OK so let's kick it off with a long entry from Michael Musgrove on the Narayana team about how to evaluate STM implementations. As Mike says at the start of the article:
"Software Transactional Memory (STM) is a way of providing transactional behaviour for threads operating on shared memory. The transaction is an atomic and isolated set of changes to memory such that prior to commit no other thread sees the memory updates and after commit the changes appear to take effect instantaneously so other threads never see partial updates but on abort all of the updates are discarded."
This is the first article in a series so if you're interested in transactions (and let's face it, who isn't?!) keep watching the Narayana blog.
There are a few entries on Hibernate to report on this week. The first from Guillaume talks about how to use Hibernate ORM with JDK 11. Then Yoann announced the release of Hibernate Search 5.6, 5.9 and 5.10. And of course no editorial would be complete without referencing the regular Hibernate Community Newsletter!
Meanwhile Mr Camel himself, Claus Ibsen, has been to JavaZone and has written a report, a photo from which is below!
Finally for this week Cheng has written an article on building and deploying containerized Java Batch Applications on OpenShift!
OK that's it for now! See you next time.
This editorial looks like it's going to be about release after release after release! The teams have really been busy!
First Marc has written a few articles about the new APIMan release (version 1.4) followed quickly by 1.4.3 (if anyone finds 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 please return them to Marc care of JBoss!) He's also found the time to write about how you can customise your path patterns for the gateway.
While we're at it, of course let's not forget about the equally interesting Hibernate Community Newsletter. And on the theme of Hibernate, Hibernate Search 5.10 has another maintenance release and Hibernate ORM 5.1.15.Final along with ORM 5.3.2.Final were also released by the team, followed closely by OGM 5.4.0.Beta2.
Other releases over the period include Infinispan 9.3.0.Final, Thorntail 2.0.0.Final, a couple of RESTeasy releases, ByteMan 4.0.3, the ever popular Debezium had a release, Apache Camel 2.22 came out, and Keycloak 4.1.0.Final (check out this article around Keycloak on Kubernetes too!)
Not quite a release but definitely newsworthy, Mario Fusco is the new Drools lead! Well done Mario!!
Chritina Lin has written a great first article on contract first design with Apicurio and Fuse.
Let's wrap up with a personal favourite: the JBossTS team have done some interesting work around the LRCO optimisation and you can read about it in this article.
OK that's it for now. Enjoy!
There has been a lot of BPM related activity this relatively quiet week.
jBPM Lead Kris Verlaenen has written an article about his attendance of bpmNEXT 2018. In fact it was such a good day 1 that he had to span it across two articles! Kris also followed up with a couple of entries on day 2 activities. Meanwhile Edson Tirelli has written a complimentary piece that points out videos to the various sessions so everyone can enjoy.
Also this week Eric has been talking about how easy it is to install OpenShift Container Platform 3.9 as well as part 3 of his series on the Open Innovation Labs residencies.
Christian writes about the book he and Burr Sutter have written about Istio Service Mesh and which has just been released. Congrats guys!
Finally Hibernate OGM 5.4.0 Alpha 1 is out and the Keycloak team are conducting a questionnaire for users so please look at it.
OK that's it for this week!
OK so this week seems to have been the time many of our projects have made a release. We've got Hibernate (Search 5.10.0 Beta 1, OGM 5.3.0 Final and of course the usual community newsletter), Arquillian (Smart Testing 0.0.9, ShrinkWrap Resolver 3.1.3, Container WebSphere 1.0.0 CR1 and Tomcat Container 1.0.1 Final), Byteman 4.0.1, WildFly 12.0.0 Beta 1, Camel In Action 2 (book signing and tower building!) and Infinispan 9.2.0 CR3. Phew!
Amongst all of that, the Hibernate team still had time to talk about the JPA 2.2 standard as it applies to the project. Will Burns spoke about distributed iteration improvements in the latest Infinispan, which is definitely worth reading if you are interested in distributed streams. And Christian Posta has written one of his usual brilliant articles, this time around Istio and traffic shadowing for microservices.
However, we leave a special shout-out to Mario Fusco who is illustrating how Voxxed Days Zurich 2018 is being scheduled using our very own OptaPlanner! A really great example of real world use of an open source project/product!
OK that's it for this week!
It's been a rather quiet week, probably due to a lot of our team getting ready for US Thanksgiving. But there has been some activity and in the spirit of getting something out (release early, release often) ...
The Infinispan and Vert.x teams are in Madrid this week for Codemotion (I hope they're getting better weather than some of us!) If you are in the area then this is a great opportunity to go and see a couple of our teams and give them feedback, learn the roadmaps etc. And even though some of the team are in Spain, they managed to put out an update to the Infinispan/Spark connector, which Gustavo discusses. Plus an update to the C++ and C# Hotrod clients!
As usual, there's the Hibernate Community Newsletter to browse while you're working or digesting turkey! And we've even had a Teiid release, version 9.3.5 this time. Congratulations to the team!!
While I've got your attention I'll take the opportunity to remind you all about EE4J. I've spoken about this before on my blog, but there's been a lot of activity in the last few days as we've started to ask for input on the new Java EE brand name (EE4J is the project, not the brand), as well as moving some specifications and reference implementations across to the project, as you can see from the twitter feed:
Please take a look and get involved.
OK that's it for this week!
For those who don't recognise it, the title is a reference to that Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan and his song, but it really is quite apt at the moment. First let's look at some monumental news which is hopefully not so new now: Java EE is moving to a new home, an as-yet undisclosed open source foundation and to presumably a governance model which puts much more power into the hands of the community! This is pretty significant for the wider enterprise Java community, whether you use a full-blown application server or just some of the components that have been defined over the years within the JCP process; now you will have more ability to help influence the direction of the specifications, code etc. just as you might if you were to participate in any open source project. I'm also hoping that the work we are doing with Eclipse MicroProfile will help influence the next releases of Java EE, or whatever it might be called, since that has always been our intent.
OK so on to the next bit of news: www.jboss.org is moving too! Although not quite on the same scale as moving Java EE and not really a move per se, it's important that anyone involved in our upstream communities and products take note because you can really help influence the future of the site. As I mention in my blog on the topic, the changes we have in mind aren't going to happen overnight so there is time to comment or use your clicks to let us know how you use the current site.
A few other changes this week include the fact you can now get NoSQL support in jBPM, and as Maciej also describes, through this there's now an option to use ElasticSearch as a data store. Since we're talking about things Maciej has been writing about this week, he's been busy also by writing about how jBPM 7 can be used in cloud environments.
Just time for a few more announcements. There's an article on how to use MQTT with Vert.x, WildFly 11 CR1 has been released, and of course there have been a number of other projects doing releases so go check out the blog feed. OK that's it for this week (surely that's enough?!) See you next time.
This week we've a mixed bunch of entries to highlight. Let's start with a mainstay of this editorial, jBPM and Drools. Edson has been writing about how they and OptaPlanner are switching to agile delivery! Hot on the heels of that Kris gives an overview of the 7.0 release of jBPM! Wow, I remember when we were still at version 3! Maciej has more to say on the topic of jBPM 7 too when he dives into some changes which affect case management.
This week we've also seen some prolific activity from the various data teams. For example, William on Distributed Streams in Infinispan, Radim on the new scattered cache implementation, again in Infinispan, and Galder recapping on Reactive Big Data. And speaking of reactive systems we've got a posting for a GSoC student working on Vert.x and OpenAPI! Really good to see student activity in our projects.
Of course we've had a number of project releases, including Claus on Camel in Action 2nd Edition, Teiid 10.0.0 Alpha 1, and Keycloak 3.2.0 Final. Check out the buzz for more!
That's it for this week! See you next time!!
We're back after a couple of weeks break and where to start? The obvious candidate is BPM because the team seem to be dominating the feeds recently! The BPM product architect and jBPM project lead, Kris Verlaenen, has been prolific with a series of articles about the bpmNEXT conference he is presenting at. Take a look because there are some interesting perspectives on where BPM in general is going in the future. Kris has an introductory article here too. And related to BPM, Maciej has written about a fairly common requirement, how to send emails from within a process with a nice worked example. In an earlier article, Maciej also took the time to show the new Case Management Showcase application in the BPM workbench.
Not to be outdone, the Hawkular team have a few important announcements. They had a talk at CloudNativeCon in Berlin.
But then there was the announcement that we are getting involved with the Jaeger project!
"This new version of Jaeger provides very similar functionality to Zipkin, which is focused on visualising individual traces. It does not have the aggregated views currently supported in Hawkular APM - however from discussions with the Jaeger project, they are keen to be able to provide aggregated views. Therefore we have made the decision that, rather than refactor the Hawkular APM project's model to be more OpenTracing compatible, it makes more sense to collaborate on the Jaeger project."
Keep watching this space for further updates!
A few more noteworthy announcements and articles in the last couple of weeks include:
There were the usual flurry of project releases, such as WildFly Swarm, Arquillian, Infinispan and ByteMan. Well done to those teams!
OK, that's it for this week. See you next time!
OK so this is an editorial meant to cover many things happening in the JBoss/middleware space for Red Hat. And whilst we'll get to a summary of some of the other things going on in this space, I wanted to start with a reference to a recent announcement by our xPaaS Product Manager. In this article we're announcing that efforts like Vert.x, WildFly Swarm and even Spring Boot will now also be available on OpenShift. Now I kinda see this as good and there was no intention to give the impression anything else we're doing and have built up a huge user/developer base around, such as EAP or Fuse, is somehow being neglected or reduced in priority. Far from it: the EAP 7 series is a key part of xPaaS and we've worked closely with the OpenShift team to ensure it runs well there. Same goes for other Java stacks, such as Fuse or BRMS/BPMS. But some folks have perhaps read too much between the lines here and think otherwise, so I wanted to take the opportunity to make it clear that enterprise Java, in many varieties of implementation, remains our focus and priority. Whether you're interested in the established approaches such as Java EE or some of the newer efforts, like Vert.x or WildFly Swarm, Red Hat is the home for your (hybrid) cloud deployments.
With that said, onwards! Following on from the above, which is also at the heart of our microservices efforts, Bilgin has something to say on the topic as he attempts to apply psychology motivational theories to microservices - and not before time And of course no good microservices effort can ignore OpenShift, so Eric's demo of the new OpenShift 3.4 release is good timing! Now whilst Hawkular Metrics isn't microservice specific, I do expect to see it have a significant positive impact there so you should take a look at Michael's post about Pandas
Speaking of the importance of Java EE, as we were earlier, the Community Asylum this time around talks to Gunnar about Bean Validation 2.0. Separately, Ramesh talks about how the 9.2 release of Teiid now supports the SQL-MED specification.
Let's finish with some project releases, including JGroups 4.0.0, Keycloak 2.5.4, and Hibernate Search 5.7.0. Another worthy mention is the latest Node.js client release for Infinispan's Hot Rod protocol which supports cross-site client failover!
Well that's enough for this week. See you next time!
OK so many of our American friends and colleagues will probably be slowly digesting their turkey dinners so this is a great time to give you and them something to read. Let's start with a bang!
Yes, the Ceylon team have released 1.3.1 which, as this blog recounts, is much more than a micro release! You should definitely got and check out the article and the release itself.
Next up, and Ceylon has a play here as it's also available on OpenShift, is the recent xPaaS announcement around Data Virtualization. This marks an important milestone for our products on OpenShift, where we have containerized runtimes of all our Middleware solutions available for our customers, while we continue to evolve the experience around using the products. That means that today our customers and prospects can run:
And we're not only just 'making these products available on OpenShift'. As important as enabling the products for such a scenario, we manage the lifecycle of all the dependencies for those products, and that greatly reduces the operational burden that traditional middleware imposes. Congrats to all of the teams involved!
On to the rest of the week and we've seen lots of projects release. These include Keycloak, Hibernate Validator, Hibernate ORM, WindUp and Forge. Finally, one important article to shine a light on is Claus' trip report from his adventures at ApacheCon (and this time his luggage appears to have gotten there and back without incident!) Some nice photos as well!
OK, that'll do for now. Plenty to read about while that turkey digests! See you next time!
Many things happened this week but I'll take a selfish moment and start with a couple of articles I wrote. As I mentioned earlier in the week, it's been (over) 10 years since JBoss was acquired by Red Hat and it's been a great decade for open source enterprise middleware from Red Hat! Every one of our customers, partners and community members deserves a round of applause!!
Next up I had to write some clarification text around the MicroProfile work we announced back at DevNation. Take a look if you are still confused but let me summarise here for some people who appear to be unclear about how open source works: it's an upstream, open source effort to gain experience from communities, vendors and individuals, around developing microservices with enterprise Java; it's not a standard, though it going to use various standards, and eventually once we believe we have something worth standardising we'll make the right next move.
Talking about things we announced at DevNation or Summit, Eric has written a summary article for those people who couldn't make it this year. Nice to see he included the killer keynote demo In a separate article Christina writes about a JBoss Fuse Integration workshop she, Eric and Siamak did at Summit - well worth checking out!
On to some non-Summit related activities this week. Let's start with Ceylon, where Stef talks about some modularity changes in the language as well as their Android support.
We've had a few releases this week too, including the first Hibernate OGM 5 maintenance release, Teiid 9.0.1, Hawkular Services 0.0.5 Final and Hawkular Metrics 0.17.0 (well done guys, for multiple releases!). The Hawkular team also wrote about scaling stateful services. Finally for this week, Gunnar has written about how you can upgrade Hibernate ORM in WildFly, something which is a lot simpler since their latest release of Hibernate last week 5.2.1.
OK, that's it for this week. And in light of our 10 year anniversary, I'll end with: Remember we love you, and Onward!
Apologies for being a couple of weeks since the last instalment but we're here again! And what a couple of weeks it's been?!
Microservices has been dominating a lot of conversations across the industry for a while. Is it new? How does it relate to SOA? When I was on holiday recently I got a chance to put down a few thoughts on the subject, for instance how they relate to fundamental distributed systems, or what constitutes a microservice if in the future, as I suspect, we allow them to become dynamic systems? I also had a few musings on what typically leads to monoliths and how microservices isn't necessarily going to avoid those pitfalls. Take a look because your input in this technology wave is crucial.
The Infinispan team seem to have got stuck in releasing one version after another (which is a good thing!) First we had 8.2.1.Final, then 8.1.3.Final, and now 9.0.0.Alpha1! Never one to be outdone, the Arquillian team shot back with a Graphene release, a new Drone version (two actually), and the Container Undertow release! There have also been a number of other releases of projects so check out The Buzz!
Time for a couple of other highlights, such as Marc talking about APIMan in a network with limited connectivity, Heiko about Hawkular in ManageIQ sprints, Martin on Weld meeting Vert.x (great news!) and Vlad with the Hibernate newsletter.
Mauricio also had some good news about the Drools book he co-authored - it's out now! Good luck guys and I'm looking forward to the movie version!
OK that's it for now. Hopefully we'll be back in a week and not two
OK let's get the sad news out of the way: one of editorial team and a key member of the JBoss family is leaving! Good luck Markus and come back soon!
Now that's out of the way we return you to our normal scheduled service. And as usual Eric has been doing a great job of pushing the OpenShift+JBoss agenda. Whether it's the Container Development Kit (CDK), with it's integration through Eclipse, or just installing OpenShift as a private PaaS, Eric always manages to get straight to the point and in an easily understandable manner.
One of our relatively newer projects, APIMan, has had a few articles in the last week. Len has written about improvements on plugin management, which is really a key area for APIMan and Policies. Eric, the project lead, has also stepped up to write about how you can republish your APIs, and how you can re-register your client apps. If you're at all interested in API Management, which cuts across a number of different areas, then check out these articles as well as the project.
In other news, we've had a really interesting article on testing and Ceylon, Heiko has written about the work they're doing with integrating JBoss Management and ManageIQ (a very important step!), and Keycloak 1.9.0.Final was released! Congrats to the team.
OK, that's it for this week. See you next week!
Yes it's that time of year again when a lot of the world starts to think about Father Christmas, festive cheer and snowmen! JBoss and Red Hat are no different, but despite this it's also been a busy time for us here. Maybe the snowmen have been helping us out?!
The Vert.x community have been asynchronously hard at work (see what I did there ?) with automatic redeployment in Eclipse. And talking about Eclipse, as Alexey mentions we're hiring again for the team so if you've any interest then get in touch! Ho ho ho, let's not forget about the JBoss Tools maintenance release either!
Two of our most prolific authors have been making their lists, checking them twice and writing about a lot of interesting things: Eric, who has been writing about all things BRMS related for a very long time, presents his audience with a lovely Christmas present of the Ultimate Collection of BRMS Demos, and if that wasn't enough he has a quick tour of importing a project into BRMS. Meanwhile Markus has written about the latest EAP 7 Beta release, just in time for those people with time on their hands on Christmas day. And conveniently he also has the second part of his refresher on EE7 backend features.
If that isn't enough for you, Markus also managed to find time to write an article and associated video about getting started with EAP 7 quickstarts! Phew!
Now if EAP 7 beta isn't enough for you both Jason and Alessio have a few things to say about the latest candidate release of WildFly 10. So let's finish with Davide's article on Cassandra integration with Hibernate OGM 5.0.0 Beta1 and Christina's entry about different ways in which you can develop Fuse applications. I hope you've enjoyed these additional Christmas presents and we see you all after the day. Enjoy and remember: we love you!

Welcome to my photography site.
This website is a travelogue-like photoblog 'BXOMAN fotologue'. All photographs are taken by Tetsu Ozawa, a photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. I love Street Photography and usually focus people and their everyday lives in diverse nations where I travel to. Although I prefer taking photos of smile, all of my photos don't catch smiles. Sometimes city, nature, buildings and sometimes the embarrassment of people. I am happy if you enjoy my works and feel the ambience where the photos are taken. Maybe the atmosphere is like, perhaps it is dissimilar from where you are. Collision between cultures may be in the photos. Yet I have no doubt that the cultures varies and the essence of human beings is identical everywhere in the world.

Warren Buffet once said, "There are only 2 rules to investing, Rule 1: Don't lose money; Rule 2: Don't forget Rule 1."
I am currently on a EUR500 per month saving and investing plan which has been implemented early this year. So far it has gone pretty good and growing at a steady pace. Target is capital growth and income which matches current savings interest rates. In addition, any additional income of mine goes to a pot where I select some stocks to invest in.
I started off naively with Deutsche Bank's Brokerage account, PrivatDepot. Which is freaking expensive as compared to other online brokers. I thought 5% front end loads were normal. Until I discovered other brokers are offering at least half of that. Only in June did I go and transferred all my holdings to Maxblue (also under Deutsche Bank), but way cheaper. Orders are about 1% total cost, 50% off of most funds' front end loads, free accounts.
I asked for the difference between these two and my adviser said it is only the lacking of face-to-face customer service and no advice on investments. Yeah, about that, emails to my adviser went unanswered, and they only recommend their own products. What good is their advice?
Disadvantages of Maxblue are as far as I see the cost of changing or deleting your orders, and costs involved if your stock has stock splits, give dividends in stock etc. Otherwise it's better and suitable for anyone who are comfortable making their own decisions.
So meantime, Maxblue it is. Yay me!

This past June, Corissa and Michael were married outside the beautiful Belle Isle Conservatory, followed by a gorgeous reception at the Detroit Yacht Club. Their wedding is one of my favorites of all-time. Not just because of the stunning location, amazing bridal party, or the beautiful details, but because of the two incredible people that got married that day. I met the happy couple a little over a year ago over a gluten-free meal and a couple of delicious drinks. I knew within 5 minutes of our meeting that we would be great friends. We shared our love for the city of Detroit and photography, and pretty soon two hours had passed. Later, at their engagement session, they introduced me to the awesomeness of Jason Mraz (I was a fan of a few of his songs before, but wow, give me alllllll the albums) and led me on a tour of the Dequindre Cut, which surprisingly, I had never been before (but LOVED). Every time I get an email or message from Corissa, it warms my heart and leaves me smiling. I feel so lucky to have met these two and even luckier they chose me to photograph their amazing day.
I was in awe shooting Corissa's beautiful details at the Detroit Yacht Club. Simply gorgeous.
Corissa let her bridesmaids pick their own dresses… whatever they wanted within the same color scheme. LOVE!
This has been the year of succulent bouquets. I. Can't. Get. Enough.
Corissa chose to do a first look with her bridesmaids. These ladies are some of the kindest I've ever worked with, and I LOVE their reaction to their beautiful friend!
My favorite part of the entire day. Corissa and Michael's first look. They had a bit of nerves before the ceremony, so they chose to see each other beforehand. I would LOVE to talk every single one of my clients into doing a first look. They are so beautiful. They are intimate. They are romantic. And they are a wonderful few minutes of quiet time to have with your husband/wife to-be before the craziness of the day takes over. These images melt my heart, and I felt honored to photograph them.
Corissa and Michael's ceremony was held outside of the Belle Isle Conservatory, with the Detroit skyline as their backdrop.
Corissa's bridesmaids carried parasols to protect them from the summer sun.
Michael stopped, mid-ceremony, to take a selfie with his new bride and all of their guests. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I hope I made the cut!
Their birdcage centerpieces were both unique and complemented the room beautifully.
Gluten free cake!
Gluten free cupcakes!
I loved this wedding. I love these two. Every time I look at these images, they leave me with a sense of joy. Congratulations to my two wonderful friends!!
A special thanks to Nikki Charbonneau of the Detroit Yacht Club, who was wonderful to work with and made this day even more special than it was already. I can't wait to photograph another wedding there in a few short weeks!

U.S. Government Strengthens Regional Cooperation to Combat Human Trafficking
U.S. Gov Strengthens Regional Cooperation to Combat Human Trafficking
Dushanbe, Tajikistan, October 23, 2013 – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Tajikistan's Inter-Ministerial Commission for Combating Trafficking in Persons, with assistance from the United States, hosted a regional conference focused on the improvement of international cooperation between state institutions, training centers, and NGOs in the field of combating trafficking in persons. The event was attended by representatives from government agencies and academic institutions from the Russian Federation, the Republics of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as nongovernment organizations (NGOs) operating in Tajikistan.
During the Conference, participants discussed ways to increase collaboration between law enforcement agencies and academic institutions. Participants also identified common issues associated with trafficked victims such as identification, involvement in judicial proceedings, victim protection, repatriation, and reintegration.
The event was funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and implemented by IOM. In close partnership with the Government of Tajikistan, this project supports Tajikistan's efforts to combat trafficking in persons through legislation, training of law enforcement and judiciary staff, as well as establishing an effective National Referral Mechanism for identifying and assisting the victims of trafficking.
The Counter-Trafficking Project is one of the many assistance projects supported by the U.S. Government. Since 1992, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe has provided over $1 billion in programs that support Tajikistan's democratic institutions, health care, education, and economic growth.

Today I'm really tired. I spent the weekend in London for the lovely, lovely Yarnporium and while I took yesterday off, I am feeling a bit rough around the edges today. I spent Friday at the Victoria & Albert museum in London which is dedicated to arts & crafts and design. I took in the Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery with a friend and also lingered with the sections on medieval European art. Saturday I taught two classes at Yarnporium (and managed to get lost on my way to teaching the Knitting the Landscape class which I thought was very on-message and method of me). I caught up with vendors and friends before heading to an evening do thrown by LoveCrafts in Bloomsbury. Sunday I spent the morning at Yarnporium again meeting awesome folks before spending my last hours in London at the near-by National Gallery.
I had been quite nervous about teaching Knitting the Landscape as the class had been commissioned by Yarnporium and thus was brand-new. The class went really well, actually, and I was blown away by people's willingness to reassess their approach to knitting. I found it so inspirational to hear people's stories and I loved how individual all the finished pieces looked. Though there are some limitations to the workshop (such as it can only really work with a large number of participants), I will be adding it to my repertoire going forward and I cannot wait to see how people interpret their world through knitting.
I have only just unpacked my bags from Yarnporium and now I'm off to Northern Ireland. I'm teaching Shetland Lace at Glen Gallery - this will be my third year of teaching their November workshops and I always look forward to my visit. So, laundry to do, samples to air and then it is off again..
.. but before that happens, I just want to tell you something that happened yesterday. I learned that I have been nominated as Designer of the Year in the British Craft Awards. This nomination really floored me - particularly because I am nominated along some serious heavyweights like Martin Storey and Marie Wallin. Having begun designing on a whim whilst working for a yarn company to making designing my full-time career just two years ago and now being mentioned alongside people I really admire .. well, I cannot begin to tell you how much this means to me. I am not quite sure what to make of it all, but I am so pleased to see woolly chums like Tom of Holland, Knit British, and BritYarn nominated in various categories. It feels like we are slowly changing the conversations we are having about knitting. Hooray.
I'm off to continue work on the book and answer questions from my inbox. Please be patient: I won't have access to internet or mobile data whilst in Northern Ireland!

Actuaries hired by outgoing state Controller John Chiang have found that paying for all the health benefits promised to current state employees when they retire will cost almost $72 billion, taking a much larger slice from the state budget than is now spent on retirees' coverage. The revelation is just the latest sign that the state's budget surplus isn't a real windfall, given the long-term fiscal problems festering in Sacramento. Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to unveil a plan next month to start paying down the retiree health program's unfunded liabilities, which have grown by a third in the last eight years. It's commendable that the state at last is owning up to this issue, but its dithering has raised the price tag considerably.
California offers its retired employees subsidized health coverage that continues until they reach age 65, at which point the state aid supplements the Medicare benefits provided by the federal government. Retirees who worked for the state for at least 10 years have 50% or more of their premiums covered. For retirees with 20 or more years of service, the state pays 100% of the average premium — more than it does for active workers. Unlike workers' pensions, though, the state doesn't set aside any money to pay for most of its future retirees' healthcare costs, nor does it ask employees to contribute anything toward that cost. Instead, it dips into the general fund each year to pay for current retirees' health coverage.
That pay-as-you-go strategy costs less in the short term but more in the long run, sacrificing whatever gains the state could be making by collecting money now for future retiree benefits and investing it. And because retirees are living longer and healthcare is getting more expensive, the future bill for those benefits is growing to gigantic proportions. The state's annual costs have risen as well; it now spends almost $1.9 billion a year, according to the actuaries' report. But lawmakers would have to spend almost twice as much to stop the state from sinking deeper into the hole on future retirees' benefits.
The real problem with the pay-as-you-go approach is that it disguises the true cost of the benefits that the state negotiates with the unions representing the 261,000 active state workers and 168,000 retirees. Pre-funding the benefits would make the cost clear, but it's expensive: an additional $1.8 billion a year, or enough to fund the entire University of California system for a quarter. Chiang has proposed to increase the state's contribution by $1.7 billion over five years, which would reduce the unfunded liability by almost $20 billion. That would be a start, but the state shouldn't expect taxpayers to cover the entire amount. It's reasonable to ask state workers to pitch in too, as Highway Patrol officers and two other groups of state workers have done in recent years. Brown has also floated a plan in the past to require workers to put in more years before qualifying for retiree health benefits, which could help reduce the state's liabilities but would probably have to be negotiated with the unions.
Whatever approach the state takes, it can't keep ignoring what it costs to offer health benefits to future retirees. Rather than continuing to dig a deeper fiscal hole, lawmakers have to start filling it.

Is this what you call democracy?
They're killing us, and you're killing me
Now I know better, now I can see
That I don't wanna be in democracy
Now is the time for us to strike
Do we know what we're doing? Have we set things right?
They're leading us into World War Three
And this what you call democracy
It's a cry for no government, a cry to be free
And I don't see freedom in democracy
Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian
Do you really care what party you're in?
Did you really think you could make it big
Living among these nuclear pigs
If you didn't know you'll never see
We're too far gone for democracy
Look whats it's done to you and me...
Democracy is not for me...
