The subject of my research are simulated "systems of nerve cells" such as the human brain, but also of insects such as ants or pigeons. The latter have a complexity, which should already be calculable with a commercially available computer, so my assessment.
My research on the plasticity, that is to say the temporal course of the actions and reactions of individual neurons, I consider to be concluded. There remains the question of the overall structure or topology, and whether this could have a particular concern for the system. To investigate this, I use the method of inverse development.
Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering means "reverse development" in order to extract the structural elements from an existing finished system [..] by examining the structures, states and behavior. (-> Wikipedia)
The question during Reverse Engineering is always:
How must it be built to do what it can?
What can it do ?
It can categorize and "make terms", which is the same.
This is the essential basic function and property. Other functions and properties are the result of this ability.
How does it do that ?
By building patterns of patterns. And thereafter patterns of patterns of patterns, etc.
Each new pattern already links what is already existing and summarizes this to a new category at a higher level. At the same time, this is also a new (upper) concept, a new CONCEPT, or an IDEA or PRESENTATION, as all these are only patterns of patterns or patterns of patterns of patterns.
*) All of these assumptions are based on intensive considerations of the past few weeks.
Our science, our mathematics, our language are all patterns of patterns.
This also describes the special property of SNNs versus other categorization techniques that we already know and use: in Bayesian methods used in SPAM filters, or in backpropagation networks, as used in OCR,
"each with everything" is already linked. However, SNNs have the additional ability to also link patterns of patterns.
Topology of SNNs
Synapses are relatively short and are only locally connected.
Axons can also grow very long (up to one meter).
Approximately 90% of the axons cross-link locally, approximately 10% are longer,, and extend into distant layers where synapses from that layer can join.
Neurons connect with neighboring neurons on the same level (also by occasional spontaneous firing without stimulation), but not with distant neurons on the same level, because their axons and synapses can not grow there.
In order to better describe this, I will introduce two terms:
Assumption about structure:
The topology can be described by planes or layers (onion model).
There are two types of connections:
- Horizontal linkage
- Vertical linkage
Thus, the horizontal linkage describes connections on the same level.
Vertical linkage, on the other hand, leads to higher or lower levels or layers.
We must distinguish between local and remote networks. Distant crosslinks are always or predominantly vertical.
Long axons would have to grow predominantly in the direction of a center, so that the synapses of neurons can be locally connected in lower layers. Like roots of trees, they grow far into the depths to absorb the impulses of lower neurons. Through local networking on their own level, they represent an all-embracing concept of everything that is connected to it at a more elementary level.
Spontaneous firing without stimulation
Only the occasional spontaneous firing without stimulation (auto-fire) of the individual neurons allows their vertical networking. Without this, they could never connect, because there was an initial initial stimulation (Hen Egg Problem). Spontaneous firing, however, should not lead to additional horizontal networking, since this would be chaotic senseless links. In nature, this is impossible because there is not enough space for the axons to extend widely on the same plane.
Spontaneous firing is essential to the operation.
This contribution is part of my research and does not yet reflect any reliable knowledge.
My next task will be to continue modeling this topology in my snn-model.
My present model already shows clear tendencies towards conceptual formation. However, after a long computing time, it is also possible to observe how everything becomes increasingly mixed and mixed. Everything has so far been done on the same level, and this obviously leaves only a category formation of a first order. Higher categories (second and third order, etc.) may not yet arise, so my assumption from my previous observations. This requires a special topology.
The present state of the image-giving process still does not allow a precise conclusion about such topologies (or this knowledge has not yet arrived with me). Therefore, I try to approach this path. The goal is a functioning computer model, which has abilities that we know otherwise only from nature.
Phineas and Ferb have the same problem in the same character series: What do it do? What do you do if you don't know what it does? The answer in this episode is: Reverse Engineering! Do not miss a show and watch it together with your kids! 😉

The Challenges and Opportunities with the Internet of Things
If you're like Lancen LaChance, GlobalSign's VP of Product Management for the Internet of Things (IoT), you spend your nights thinking about the unprecedented value and opportunity the IoT presents, while also worrying about how to secure it all. As more IoT systems move from the drawing board to production phases, it's more important than ever to keep security top of mind.
We sat down with Lancen and spoke to him about some of the challenges and opportunities that are surrounding IoT security and what we can do to increase adoption, while still maintaining a safe environment.
What Does the Term "Internet of Things" Mean to You?
The Internet of Things is an extension of connectivity into a broader range of our environment which enables greater data insights, analytics and control capabilities of our world.
From our perspective, we like to think about the Internet of Everything (IoE). This is because while the 'things' in the equation are the key driver in some of the new components of this internet evolution, there are still the critical existing components of the Internet (servers, applications, users, organizations and more), with which all these 'things' need to interface and interact.
What Are Some Real World Applications of IoT Technology? Where Do You See It Adding the Most Value?
The demand for connected devices spans multiple industries, including energy, automotive, consumer devices, healthcare and more. Ultimately the potential in solving real-world problems is only limited by your imagination and time horizon to consider.
However, if we limit that to the next three to five years, there are some key areas we could address. From a business perspective, I see two basic areas an IoT solution can impact the bottom line – optimization and enhanced features. The first is the ability to enable improved efficiency and thus improve the cost drivers in a business environment. The second is the ability to add new features into a product or service which aid in competitive differentiation, adding additional value to the buyers of the product/service and allowing the provider to collect additional revenues.
From our perspective, we see tremendous value and interest in applying these technologies to improve efficiencies within more industrial and manufacturing sectors. Improving efficiencies and reducing waste in these environments by even a couple percentage points has great impact on the bottom line. In the medical space, connected healthcare is not only improving the efficiencies of healthcare provider operations, but the integration of health data with machine learning, analytics and remote response capabilities, resulting in healthier patients.
From a business perspective, I see two basic areas an IoT solution can impact the bottom line – optimization and enhanced features."
Which Markets Do You Think Have the Most Opportunity for Growth in IoT Technology?
I think the biggest opportunities lie outside some of the "flashy" consumer-level devices like wearables, thermometers and smart refrigerators. Don't get me wrong; they are important, but breaches in these systems don't necessarily create emergency situations like they would in the industrial sector.
The Industrial IoT includes critical machines and sensors in high-stakes industries like defense, automotive, aerospace, energy and healthcare. The industrial sectors will see tremendous benefit from the IoT. Government and municipalities also have incredible opportunity to reduce costs by improving efficiencies. And of course, technology vendors with IoT-specific solutions that are responsive to these new markets will have a huge opportunity.
The biggest opportunities lie outside some of the "flashy" consumer-level devices"
Are There Any Specific IoT Applications That Make You Particularly Excited?
We're very interested in IoT in the industrial and manufacturing environments, automotive and in the networking space. These areas are specifically interesting to us due to both the potential business value IoT presents, as well as the security requirements of those environments. Security in these systems is paramount and must be adaptive and scalable.
What Are Some Technical Considerations for Implementing an IoT Solution?
At a basic level, the solution looks at the means you choose for gaining data from sensors on a device/platform, getting that data to the decision making entities in the system and potentially getting control commands back to the device from a decision making entity - doing this, while also being efficient and secure.
The Internet contains a range of existing technologies to enable this, both in specific protocols and software stacks, but also in architectural models. However, as additional constraints of hardware, connectivity, power and volume of data are introduced into the systems, novel approaches and technical solutions are being applied. In this area, we see trends such as Low Power networks, adoption of lighter weight cryptography like ECC, mesh and gateway-based networks all being implemented to arrive at these solutions.
I'd hope that the [IoT] implementations stand on the shoulders of technology giants and leverage proven and widely deployed approaches as much as possible".
What Kind of Skills, Technologies, and Systems Are Needed to Develop IoT Systems or Applications?
IoT is ultimately going to force deep experience in a range of technologies in both hardware and software. We will see some of the most complex systems in human history built over the next decade and therefore there is also a meta-layer of systems engineering that will be essential to the success of these environments.
The range of hardware environments is exploding. The device lifecycle becomes increasingly important. Ideally, I'd hope that the implementations stand on the shoulders of technology giants and leverage proven and widely deployed approaches as much as possible.
What Are the Most Widely-Used IoT Technologies So Far?
In the first iterations, we definitely see IoT solutions being like smaller versions of existing Internet, leveraging TCP/IP and Wi-Fi. In security technology, we see tremendous interest and application of PKI, as devices are able to handle cryptography quite well. It scales to billions of devices and provides a means toward a range of information security principles.
What Barriers to IoT Adoption or Development Do You See?
Brownfield deployments will certainly be a factor - where legacy equipment and technologies are being retrofitted, or upgraded with new capabilities.
Appropriately assessing the information security risk and applying architectural and technological solutions to mitigate will be difficult. We see trends where organizations who have excellent operational capabilities in manufacturing physical products/equipment, but are now looking to fold in new connected IoT type capabilities and they have not fully brought in the appropriated software development and information security mindset into their organization.
In some cases, the organization is just honestly ignorant of the risks. In other cases, they've made faulty decisions to postpone or not address appropriate information security practices based on assumptions that they can build it in later or even that a potential compromise impact will be small.
We see tremendous interest and application of PKI, as devices are able to handle cryptography quite well. It scales to billions of devices, and provides a means toward a range of information security principles."
How Do You Propose Meeting Some of These Challenges?
The Internet of Things is a natural extension to the capabilities the Internet of today provides. GlobalSign has worked in a number of IoT related security implementations over the past few years and is keenly in tune with the evolutions and nuances at building trust models and applying proven technologies into this new dimension of the Internet.
PKI is a tried and true standard that has been securing connections between servers, machines and devices for decades. It provides key information security capabilities, including authentication, encryption and data integrity and with GlobalSign's high volume services and agile certificate profiles, it can be adapted to meet the velocity, variety and volume needs of the IoT. And our IAM infrastructure enables the complex relationship management (e.g. hierarchies, delegation, self- or automated enrollment) needed to support the scale and heterogeneity of IoT ecosystems.
Most importantly, we believe components of an IoT environment must be flexible, functional and easy to use, thus not compromising the user experience. And to meet these qualifications, there is no question that security must be designed into IoT systems from the beginning.

Based on feedback from Airmen, the Transition Assistance Program is having a positive impact on preparing them for life outside of the military. More than 230,000 people have attended transition workshops since 2012 when the TAP program was redesigned to better prepare Airmen for separation or retirement. The program consists of a five-day Transition GPS (Goals, Plans, Success) Workshop which includes completion of a career readiness checklist and Department of Labor and Department of Veterans Affairs curricula. Optional higher education, entrepreneurial and vocational training tracks are also available to ensure Airmen have the training and skills needed to transition successfully into civilian life. "Transitioning into civilian life can be a challenging process," said Brendon Lausch, AFPC Airman and Family Support Branch community readiness analyst. "But that doesn't have to be the case. TAP has evolved since its inception in 1991, and there are more tools than ever before to help Airmen achieve success in their civilian lives." Jessica Woodruff, a retired Air Force health services management specialist, had heard many stories about service members who could not find a job after retirement. She admits to being very apprehensive about re-entering the civilian job market. Participating in TAP helped relieve some of her apprehension. "I didn't even know where to start looking for a job until I attended the TAP workshop," said Woodruff. "After the one-week course, I not only had a shiny new resume, but I also had an idea of what I was worth in the civilian market and the best market for my career." Woodruff settled in Alabama after retiring and within one month had a managerial position at a cancer center. She credits her success to the help and guidance she received from the TAP workshop and staff. Many Air Force skills are easily transferable to the civilian world, but the art of translating military language and skills into terms a civilian employer understands can be challenging, said Lausch. That's where the Military Occupational Code Crosswalk training comes in. It's a two- to three-hour module offered during the five-day TAP workshop that helps Airmen translate their skills, training and experience into corresponding civilian job descriptions. Nate Barnhart, a former aerospace ground equipment superintendent, learned how to take Air Force-unique acronyms and skill sets and target his resume to individual employers. "TAP provided the foundation to formulate my job search," said Barnhart. "The insight from the human resources facilitators and information I received in training was invaluable. I sent out numerous resumes, tailoring them for each job and in about a month I had two job offers." He is now manager of a multinational manufacturing plant. During employment training, facilitators conduct role-playing and mock interviews to prepare Airmen for the job hunt. "I found the mock interviews particularly helpful," said Scott Sitterson, a recently retired logistics readiness officer. "Even if a service member is unsure of their career path, there is still value in the exercise. I used the questions and interview techniques for my first interview and I got the job!" Sitterson is now a financial adviser. Although useful for Airmen as they prepare to retire or separate, TAP is no longer an end-of-career activity. The earlier an Airman plans his or her transition, the easier it will be. To fully prepare for transition, Lausch advises Airmen to participate in TAP early and often throughout their career - or what the Department of Defense refers to as the TAP "military life cycle." Airmen can participate in any module virtually any time in their military career. This introduces transition activities at the first duty station and at various touch-points throughout an Airman's career, such as promotion, relocation, marriage and family changes. In addition to the five-day TAP workshop, there are three, two-day tracks, that transitioning personnel can participate in: - Accessing Higher Education - geared toward individuals interested in pursuing education at an accredited academic institution; - Career Technical track - for personnel interested in pursuing further technical training in careers requiring a licensure or certification; and - Entrepreneurship track - for those interested in pursuing self-employment in the private or nonprofit sector. The five-day day workshop culminates with the completion of the Capstone, DD Form 2958, which verifies the member's career readiness standards. These standards include having a 12-month post-separation budget plan, resume, etc. "The skills and information gained by attending TAP throughout a person's career will help ease the stress for departing Airmen, and will arm them with tangible tools to help them in the days ahead," said Lausch. "They selflessly serve our nation and this is one way we can serve them in turn." For more information about TAP or to sign up for a workshop, contact the local Airman and Family Readiness Center. For more information about Air Force personnel programs go to the myPers website. Individuals who do not have a myPers account can request one by following these instructions on the Air Force Retirees Services website.

"We regularly survey advertisers and ask them to rank internet platforms," Mahaney, of RBC Capital Markets, said. "Google ranks first, Facebook second and Twitter is somewhere down the list. That's been true for every survey," he said.
LinkedIn had the advantage of a clearly defined user base — business professionals — that fit neatly into Microsoft's current strategic focus. "This deal is all about bringing together the professional cloud and professional network," Nadella said in a recent report in The New York Times.
Twitter is increasingly seen as a source of news and information more than user interaction. That makes it a natural fit for a news organization seeking to extend its digital footprint, and rumors that News Corp. was interested briefly buoyed the stock this year. (News Corp. denied the reports and no bid materialized.)
Few traditional media companies, though, are big enough to swallow Twitter at its current market value. News Corp., one of the richest, has a market capitalization of just under $7 billion.
Peck and Mahaney cited Alphabet as the most likely buyer. The two companies have many ties: Several Twitter executives used to work at Alphabet's Google, tweets appear in Google search results and advertisers can buy ads on Twitter through Google's DoubleClick bid manager.
Google's own social networking effort, Google Plus, hasn't caught on. Google undoubtedly has the size and scale to absorb Twitter.
But Alphabet's founders have said repeatedly they don't want to create content. So if Twitter is increasingly seen as a real-time news and content site rather than a social media network, it doesn't fit into Google's strategic objectives. Those, of course, could always change.
Both Google and Facebook have reportedly looked at Twitter and passed. (Neither company would comment on those reports.)
But Facebook has in many ways emerged as Twitter's biggest competitor. Not only would a deal raise antitrust issues, it's also not clear why Facebook would pay a premium for something it could largely build on its own.
From a strategic standpoint, the cable media giants Verizon Communications and Comcast might make sense. Both are big enough, both are already content providers and both have shown interest in expanding their digital presence. But it's not clear either company has the expertise to solve Twitter's major problems, which are far afield from the cable network business.
A lot of this week's deal talk seems more like wishful thinking among Twitter investors desperate for a LinkedIn-style exit strategy. That may be slow in coming. Even Peck of SunTrust doesn't expect a deal before 2017 at the earliest because it's still early in Dorsey's latest turnaround effort.
Others are even more skeptical. "I can see the argument for it, but I'm not betting on a deal," Mahaney said. "There just aren't many logical buyers."

Interested in working your way through Samuel Rutherford's Lex Rex? Let's do it together!
Given the current political context, climate, and crisis, it has never been more important for Christians to come to sound, Biblical notions concerning public and political matters. We have endeavored to master some of the basics together.
In order to develop and mature in this regard, to go beyond the basics, some serious study of the best literature on the subject is going to be necessary. And certainly Samuel Rutherford's Lex Rex is among the best and most advanced works on Christian Political Theory.
However, Lex Rex is also famously difficult; so, I am proposing that we form a reading group, so that we might work our way through it together, as a community of disciples, with all of the mutual help and enrichment of thought that community-life affords.
Basic structure of the Reading Group: Lex Rex is divided in forty-four questions. If we handle a question roughly a question per week, we should finish in about a year. I will set up and moderate a discussion board, so that we can discuss in writing the ideas presented; but we can also schedule live discussion time (through gotomeeting.com) to work on the more difficult chapters (which will be most of them) together. Let's set a start date of January 8, 2018.
Currently, I am trying to gauge the interest in the reading group, so, if you are interested, please let me know right away (visit the page, and drop me an email at email@example.com).

Before It Dies!
Recently, my boyfriend and I have begun using "dying" produce (produce that's just about had it in the fridge) to make dinners. We search the fridge for what's about to die and plan a delicious meal around that. Now, we are much less likely to throw away old produce!
Lawn and Garden Critters
To control rabbits and possibly other critters from eating your lawn, garden, etc., sprinkle whole coffee beans in the area. Animals are absolutely repelled by the smell of the coffee. One bag of coffee beans is enough to keep rabbits at bay for a few months.
Instead of Candles
For nice aroma in the house, instead of candles, I bring a pot of water to boil with cinnamon sticks and cloves and then let simmer. The house smells like those expensive candles were lit all day. Also, keep your orange peels and bake them in the oven. You will get a citrus smell that will make it feel like Spring is here.
Toddlers and Savings
To encourage my five-year-old daughter to save money and learn to count coins and bills, we take her to the bank each month on the third (the anniversary of her birthday). We make the trip a special event, and she looks forward to seeing how much she "earned" each month. I think it also helped her learn her date of birth, which is something that most children don't learn before entering school.
How Long Can You Go?
I was sick of the clutter of small toothpaste tubes from the dentist and conditioner, shampoo and lotion bottles that were half used from hotels that I had brought home. I emptied out the linen closet and bathroom drawers and put them all out where I would see and use them. I was hoping to just get rid of the clutter, but the by product is that I've gone a month now without buying any new toiletries. Next, I'll try my pantry to see how long I can go.

Salvage Grocery Savings
About once a month, we check out a local salvage store. I find great bargains. People think that when an item is sold in a salvage store, it is not safe to consume. I have found packages of cereal, dog food, pasta, etc. for sale at rock bottom prices simply because the package is a little crushed. The contents were fine, not damaged.

Take Out at Home
Due to the economy, many people have lost jobs. My husband is one of them. We are trying to cut corners as much as possible, but sometimes we get into a rut. For days that we still want to treat ourselves but don't want to pay a lot for foods from take out, we have found places that have discount or "buy one, get one" days. On these nights, we time it where I'll buy the burgers on sale on the way home. My husband cooks the fries and our daughters take turns acting as the waitress, taking drink orders. We get the feel of ordering out but in the comfort of our home.
When Smaller Is Better
If you're buying something where one piece equals one serving, try to buy the bag with more smaller pieces than a few large ones. This applies to apples, onions, and potatoes. People will eat one apple or one potato and consider themselves done, so more smaller ones equal more servings per bag. For onions, when you need a smaller amount and you don't want half of a cut onion left over, it's better to have smaller onions. You can always cut up two if you need more.
Evelyn S.
Choices for Lunch
In my family of five, it is not uncommon for me to cook a dinner and have anywhere from one to four servings of food left over (not enough for another dinner). In this case, I put single serving sizes of the main dish plus any leftover sides into sandwich size plastic containers. Then I stack these containers nicely in my freezer.
When it's time to pack my husband's or my lunch for work, I just reach into the freezer, grab a container, add a few snacks, and the lunch is ready to go. It's easier than making a sandwich, and we enjoy having some warm, home-cooked food for lunch. Plus, it's always something different, and I don't have leftovers rotting unnoticed in my refrigerator!

Finding Good Used Cars
I have a tip for buying a used car. We were looking for a minivan and quite accidentally found a fantastic deal on a Toyota Sienna XLE at a local Mercedes dealer! Someone had traded it in for a new Mercedes, so we made an offer and drove it home that day!
We found that many luxury auto dealers have an upscale trade-in inventory and sell the cars via online auctions for a great price. Most of the trade-ins are fully loaded. Our van has leather seats, sunroof, and many other luxurious options that we would not have been able to afford. Best of all, we got it for a much better price than a Toyota dealer or even Carmax would have listed it, and we were able to examine and test drive the vehicle before purchasing. The next time we are ready to purchase a vehicle, we are definitely checking at our local dealers and going the same route!

It feels so good to be blogging again. This space is free to express my/your opinion on fashion, style and what's trendy.
In honour of Coachella happening right now, I created a look that was inspired by festivals. The number one piece I see at music festivals is fringe, lots of it! This year the top trend is fake tattoos, I think there a cute accessory. Not completely sure if I would wear it, but I haven't tried it yet so I can't judge. They replace jewelry, which is nice because when you're dancing in crowds you don't have to worry about a bracelet falling off. Are you planning on going to any festivals this year? What are your must haves? Let me know below!

How to choose between public, private, or hybrid cloud solutions
Choosing the right cloud solution for your business is crucial to ensuring that you have the right level of computing support and security to meet the needs of your company. From the pay-as-you-go, shared environment of the public cloud to the more customisable, dedicated infrastructure of private cloud computing or a hybrid solution that combines the benefits of cloud architecture with your existing legacy IT, the options available for your business vary widely and it is important to consider what will work best for you. What is right for one company is not always right for another. It is critical to compare the key functions of public, private, and hybrid cloud solutions to help you make the decision that is right for your company.
What are the differences?
Small businesses or start-ups may benefit from looking at public cloud solutions for their computing needs. The affordable, pay-as-you-go services on offer from public cloud providers allow companies who are still growing their infrastructure to only pay for what they are using and easily scale up or down their server usage according to demand.
By buying into a shared infrastructure that is maintained by a third party, businesses do not need to make an upfront hardware investment, saving them money and configuration time. The flexibility of this service accounts for fluctuating or unpredictable IT needs, something that is more likely to affect newer companies.
These benefits also make the public cloud and ideal place for larger companies to test their development sites. However for these bigger corporations, investing more in a private cloud network, where all systems are run from a dedicated server, allows for total control over their application management and data security, meaning that performance and demand can be monitored and optimised specifically for their needs.

I hope this helps and solve the confusion about Kindle books. No Kindle reading device required to read Kindle books. All you need is Amazon.com FREE Reading Apps which you can easily download to your Windows computer, iPhone, iPads, Androids, and Blackberry.
I have personally downloaded the "free reading apps" to my computer. And I am able to access all the kindle books we bought from Amazon.com. I have done the same with free Kindle reading apps for iPhone.
The same Apps are available for Amazon UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Australia, India and Japan. My books are available on Kindle and paperback in these countries.

If you thought Oasis Pool Bar was a cool (pun intended) place to hang, you'll be surprised to find out it got even more chill with Songwriter Saturdays. The hit sounds and hip artists of Nashville hit the 'Tween Waters stage this September for the Island Hopper Songwriter Festival, and now have returned to the resort for more live tunes — this time Poolside at Oasis Pool Bar.
The first Saturday of the month, we grabbed a carload of friends and for $50 headed to 'Tween Waters. Admission got us parking, use of all of the free amenities at the resort, plus a live performance from Nashville songwriter Brian Sutherland. We hung out poolside, grabbed some drinks and snacks and enjoyed a "chill" day hanging by 'Tween Waters' Olympic-sized pool.
Songwriter Saturdays are held the first Saturday of every month, and next up is songwriter and artist Hugh Mitchell, who will perform at Oasis Pool Bar on February 3. Currently Nashville resident and performing artist, Mithcell's down-home flavor of music has people calling Hugh Mitchell the "golden-throated troubadour." If you love a mix of gritty rock and intimate melodies, you're going to want to save the date for February 3!

Revision as of 19:07, 2 July 2006
The Base database running on the delivery truck laptop will be responsible for managing three things:
- Delivery Route Information
- Daily Delivery Records
- On Truck Invntory of Products
Delivery Route Information
The driver begins the day by selecting a route do execute. The database shall have a default route. The driver can edit a route, set a route as the default, add a new route or delete an exisitng route. The driver may add a stop to an executing route.
Daily Delivery Records
A record of the arrival time for each stop on the route is maintainted, on the laptop.
Each stop will create a delivery record.
Each delivery records will create a new Order record.
All delivery and order records will be transfered to the main IS system at the end of the day.
After a successful transfer of the delivery and order records these tables will be emptied.
Each delivery and order record wil contain an internal PK field of type integer ( IDENTIFIER ).
The databae shall generate a Delivery/Order form to be left at the customer site.
Each delivery and order record will contain a *NO (DeliveryNo, OrderNo) field of type varchar(20) - this field will be programmintaclly generated and is used to synch records between the laptops database and the main IS systems database.
- The delivery and order *NO fields are encoded with the folloiwing information:
- 3 CHAR - Order or Delivery marker ( ORD, DEL )
- 4 CHAR - Year
- 4 CHAR - Number of the day of the year
- 3 CHAR - Driver's initials
- 1 CHAR - The dash character"-"
- VARIABLE COUNT CHAR - Sequencial stop number, starting at 1 for each delivery day
- So for a driver named Andrew Torolf Jensen, on July 2, 2006 making the first stop of the day delivery and order numbers generated would be: DEL2006183ATJ-1 ORD2006183ATJ-1
- The database will utilize a sequence to generate these numbers. The sequence will be reset each day, after the successfull transfer of the days records to the main system.
On Truck Inventory of Products
At the end of a day the databse will generate a pick list for the driver, showing them what products need to be restocked on the truck. The database will allow the driver to add new products to the truck inventory, remove products from the truck or replenish products on the truck.
Misc. Functions
- Ttransfer daily information:
For the first cut on this an XML file will be created witht he delivery and order record information. The file will be saved to disk. The delivery and order table are then emptied.
- Synchronize products
Deployment environment
My thoughts here are that ROUTE.BAS and DRIVER.BAS be either seperate basic libraries or just seperate modules in a single library.
The function UpdateOrders would be the end of day function on the laptop.
The functions in DRIVER.BAS could be implemented in either of two ways.
In the first case the routines would connect directly with the qcity.xdb database.
- UpdateOrders( )
For each order
Execute an INSERT statement to admin.Orders
execute SELECT INTO to admin.orderdetails FROM driver.orderdetails
- UpdateProducts( )
Delete all records in driver.products then insert all records from admin.products
- UpdateCustomers( )
delete from driver.customers
SELECT INTO driver.customers FROM admin.customers<>br<>The deployment graph above represents this approach and I would likely create a single library
For the second option the functions can be setup to import or export data to the admin database using text files. The files would be, to be designed, XML files. For the example database, I suppose, that these can just read and write these files to a disk file. It would be bonus points to extend this transfer process to something more automated.
For this option I would create two library files as showen here.

Belgian music group Hooverphonic is back with a new format and experimental sound. Their upcoming album will not have a lead singer and that's a a big change of pace for them and their fanbase.
To launch this new concept, we worked together with Hooverphonic and Sony Music Belgium to come to a progressive communication strategy. Nightingale was in charge of teasing the first single 'Cocaine Kids' on social media, and also helped with the groundwork of the launch of their first single 'Badaboum'.

OK, so, after gushing last week about my serious man crush on Parenthood stay-at-home dad, Joel Graham, they go and run almost an entire episode telling more backstory about his character.
Did he just solve world hunger? Yeah, that's what I saw, too.
This dad just gets better and better every time I watch.
So I've got great news. After my painfully embarrassing admission last week, worlds collided, planets aligned, bells rang and newly winged angels went wheeling through the heavens, heralding The Poop's most awesome Q and A ever.
That's right. Sam Jaeger, who plays Joel, agreed to an interview about the show, fatherhood, children, TV sets, goats, clowns, play dates, Dana Carvey and basically the whole pantheon of Poop lore. This guy is so awesome.
I'll let his answers speak for themselves, but it was really fun to see how he developed the role of what I think is one of TV's best dads. Sure, he never did give me Lauren Graham's phone number and he very politely ignored my requests for a play date, but he was pretty open about his home life and his show life. I'm only sorry we didn't get a chance to get into his roles in other shows. West Wing, Law and Order, Eli Stone, NYPD Blue, he has appeared in basically every show I've ever liked.
I think it's a sign.
If you're not watching this show, it's definitely worth checking out. When it fires on all cylinders, it really works. And even when it doesn't, it's still impossibly fun.
So without further ado, here's Sam Jaeger, chatting about parenthood — and "Parenthood" — and being cool enough not to just give up when it came time for word association.
Mike: I'll start with an easy one, do you ever call Lauren Graham "Lorelai?" And would you possibly share her cell phone number?
Sam: No, and get in line. That was easy.
Mike: OK, fine. How about just cut off a small lock of her hair? I don't think she'd mind.
Sam: I'll see if i can work it into a very awkward storyline for next season. Maybe Joel becomes a crime scene investigator.
Mike: OK, OK, sorry. So tell me how you keep your TV house so clean. Is your real-life house just as orderly?
Sam: I took my brother to the set on a day we weren't shooting, and the entire house was covered in plastic. Even the kitchen island! So that's my advice: hire a film crew to drape your house in plastic every time you leave.
My house, on the other hand, generally teeters between mostly tidy and borderline filthy.
Mike: I understand you recently had a baby — congratulations! Is this your first? Is anyone sleeping?
Sam: Thank you! This is my first official baby, but I have a teenage stepdaughter. And sleep is decent, just sporadic. I handle the 4 a.m. shift in our house. My son and I walk around the backyard and watch the sun rise. I'll take that over sleep any day.
Mike: What's the one thing you can't do without as a new dad?
Sam: An amazing wife who's been through this all before. That, and a late afternoon beer.
Mike: I'm curious if your role as a kick-ass TV dad has had any influence on your real-life fathering?
Sam: It's actually the other way around. My stepdaughter came into my life when she was the same age Savannah (who plays my TV daughter) is. I feel like an old pro with the over 5 crowd; it's the under 5 I'm inept around.
Mike: I'm really impressed with how the show has portrayed stay-at-home dads. Usually they're regarded as some boy toy out of Desperate Housewives. How did you approach this role and what kind of dad did you envision Joel being?
Sam: Yeah, that's what drew me to the show. Joel wasn't resentful of his role in the family. He loves being a dad, and values his job as a parent. The first season was really about making Joel and Julia a believable couple. When I think of relationships I know that work, usually one person's a bit more ambitious while the other's more the constant. Since Julia's such a spitfire, Joel had to be the steady who happens to love watching his wife spin her wheels.
Mike: As I said in the original post about Joel, he seems to really have his shit together. The house is clean. He seems to bathe regularly. His daughter appears polite and shows an aptitude for eastern languages. And he seemingly has a ton of time of reading and coffee drinking. Is Joel going to snap one of these shows and go on a Hangover-style bender in Vegas? No, seriously, for the first time in a long time, a TV dad is portrayed as a rock star home maker — June Cleaver in a Brawny man outfit. My question is: Is there any pressure on you personally because professionally you've raised the fatherhood bar? And do you want to go a play date?
Sam: You mean does my wife say, "Why can't you be more like Joel!?" No, we've got a pretty healthy balance of responsibility in our home. And thankfully there's so many other storylines in "Parenthood", I actually get to be home sometimes!
Mike: So what's next for Joel?
Sam: Well, the writers just got back to hashing out next season, so we'll see. I'm guessing the Vegas bender doesn't happen until season three.
Mike: What's next for the show? Seemingly all my parenting friends are addicted to it, and I hope that kind of buzz bodes well for the future.
Sam: Thanks. Yeah, it's really grabbing people in a way no other project I've been a part of has. It's pretty comforting to watch, isn't it? Seeing other people stumble through life like we all do. I think we really hit our stride about halfway through the first season. Hopefully we can continue telling those stories we all identify with.
Mike: Are you going to take the TV kids to Children's Fairyland in Oakland? (A local institution.) How about Fenton's ice cream parlor? What's been your favorite Bay Area filming locale and where do you want to do any scenes while here?
Sam: Joel and Julia's first scene was actually shot at Fairyland! In fact, the whole Racquel storyline started there, but it was left out of the pilot. What a classic place! We also shot the original Braverman home up in Marin surrounded by Redwoods. Beautiful. I'd like to shoot more in the Bay Area, period.
Mike: OK, quick word association. I give you a few topics we talk about regularly on The Poop, and you just shout out whatever comes naturally. Ready?
Sam: Let's do this.
Mike: Clowns.
Sam: Radiohead (my wife calls it "scary clown music").
Mike: Goats.
Sam: Football bellies.
Mike: Plastic Army Men.
Sam: Disappointing.
Mike: Dana Carvey.
Sam: See also "Plastic Army Men".
Mike: Giraffes.
Sam: I got nothing.
Mike: Cell phone numbers of certain celebrities (feel free to answer numerically).
Sam: Get in line.
Mike: Thank you so much for taking the time. And congratulations on the new baby. I hope everyone is doing great!
Sam: Thanks, Mike. Same to you and yours.

Boehner plan cuts 2012 spending
So much for comity.
Last week's love seemed just that in Congress on Monday — past and fading in the rear-view mirror.
Story Continued Below
In a surprising bit of hardball, House Republicans confirmed that they had been actively considering a plan to tamper with the August budget agreement by cutting even more from 2012 spending in order to put pressure on Senate Democrats to come to terms faster on domestic bills for the coming fiscal year.
Instead of the agreed-upon appropriations target of $1.043 trillion, a stopgap continuing resolution or CR this week would be calibrated at a lower $1.035 trillion level. The idea – promoted by Speaker John Boehner — was to effectively withhold about $8 billion for the first two months of the fiscal year, with the money becoming available only as Senate Democrats come to terms with the House on the dozen annual spending bills that cover government operations.
Not to be outdone, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid countered with his own free-standing $6.9 billion disaster aid package separate from the CR. And in a twist of the knife, the Nevada Democrat would add it to a House-passed Burma sanctions resolution, a personal cause for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
Reid fell short of 60 votes on his first try—a 53-33 roll call Monday evening that put McConnell in the awkward position of having to vote against his own Burma measure. But Democrats picked up six Republicans crossovers –chiefly from disaster-hit states— enough to put Reid in range if he tries again this week.
Where it's all going is less clear.

Review: There's something special about Britney's original fragrance. It has poise, charm and makes you feel sexy! Everyone should own this even if just for display. The bottle looks beautiful on my dresser, the puff attached to the bottle is old-fashioned and timeless. The tempting variety of ingredients includes Louisiana Magnolia, reminiscent of Britney's roots. Anjou Pear, Lotus Flower, White Flowers and Pink Cyclamen keep the fragrance light while Vanilla-infused Musk and creamy Sandalwood give warmth. Regardless of the celebrity fragrance trend, this fragrance is just gorgeous - really soft yet fragrant, very feminine, and it shows Britney is serious about her fragrance - she wants it to be taken seriously, and so it will.Purchased: Yes.

A quick Google search of Wellington Dias and you can learn all you need to know about the man. Not only is he a Brazilian politician, but also an actor and a fourth degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Oh, sorry. Wrong Wellington Dias.
But now that you're reading this story, you can also learn about the Wellington Dias who's landed the gig as artist of Dynamite Entertainment's upcoming "The Man with No Name" series, penned by Christos Gage. CBR News spoke with Dias about the book and his longtime love of the character made famous the world over by a thirty-something Clint Eastwood in MGM's 1960s spaghetti western trilogy "A Fistful of Dollars, "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," all directed by Sergio Leone.
"I really like this character. It was a great surprise being called to draw him. In all honesty, I thought it'd never happen," said Dias, whose previous work includes "CSI" and "Dr. JJ."
Born and raised in Brazil, Dias said the Dollars Trilogy has made The Man with No Name an American icon in the South American country. "I've watched these movies since I was a child," said Dias. "I remember watching it with my brothers, and even today when I mention to anyone about this character, everyone knows who I'm talking about. The movies series is really popular here in Brazil.
"I've watched the movies a few times in order to capture the right feel of the series, as well as the environments. I also got hold of several Italian Western Magazines as source of references. Good thing is that I've even learned how to draw horses," laughed Dias, who acknowledged having Clint Eastwood as your model makes for incredible subject matter too. "He's such a cool guy. His tough guy manners fit the character just right."
"I like the mystery that surrounds the character," he continued. "I think he's the anti-hero type. Not too good and at the same time, not too wicked."
"The Man with No Name" marks the first time Dias has worked with Christos Gage, and the artist loves what the fan favorite writer is feeding him. "His scripts are very good and easy to understand, he has managed to convey the mood of the movie perfectly," said Dias. "I'm really enjoying it."
"The Man with No Name" #1 is expected to arrive in stores in May from Dynamite Entertainment.

The National Football League has settled a lawsuit filed by thousands of former football players. A federal judge has approved the settlement which has no limit on the amount of money available to pay retired players with potential neuro-cognitive diseases.
The settlement is extraordinary as it provides neurological exams and monetary settlements for diagnoses of a number of different chronic brain disorders such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and early dementia. The original lawsuit was filed by approximately 5,000 players but all former players are eligible and will have two years to register for the settlement.
The original settlement amount of $870 million was deemed was deemed to be too small to cover the high medical costs for serious concussions and brain injuries suffered by many football players. Despite the potentially large payout, some players have said that the settlement will still not completely compensate past players for their injuries.
