Read this first, dated July 27th, 2014.
When I was growing up, my dad had a big sign on the wall of his ceramics studio:
As a boy and a young man I didn't give the sign much thought, saw it as a little corny actually. That may have been because I spent so much time in those years living at the abrupt edge. It was a place so familiar to me that I don't think I was even able to understand the nature of my situation. If you live at risk all the time, is it really risk? Or is it just your life?
But now I am 50, and at 50 I have earned the right to say I am middle-aged, and now I have things to lose, to protect–a loving partner, a beautiful daughter, a level of economic and social safety, a daily life that has a certain clock-like repetition to it, painting the yellow lines down the middle of a highway that gets closer and closer to its destination and becomes harder and harder to exit from, to visit an unknown town, to meander down a dirt side road.
So that's what I'm doing–carefully, gently–I am making a lateral move to be a hospice chaplain. I'm aiming for 2017.
If you read the link above (I really do recommend you read it first), and follow it up by wandering about in the semi-secret writings I've been doing for the last six months, you'll get an idea of what's going on. I had a lot of death in my life early, and I've realized that working with people and their families this way, I can do a kind of alchemy, turn that pain into something useful. You'll see that some things have changed since that early post–I made it to 50! My daughter's 13 now! I haven't gotten into a Clinical Pastoral Education program yet!–but the basic spirit is still the same. I've also, after being a hanger-on for years, finally joined the local synagogue, I have started seeing clients as a hospice volunteer, I've done a vision quest with Rites of Passage and have started guide training. And I continue to work with nonprofits as a writer, advisor and fundraiser.
And I've moved this blog along, and am now making it public, a place to think out loud on this process, on death, and on life. A change like this is a little bit like a pregnancy, in that I wanted to wait a while to say it out loud, make sure things were advancing well, everything felt healthy. And I'm pleased to say it does. Rachel, my partner, and our daughter Esmé, are being very supportive of what currently is just Dad wearing one more hat, one more project that takes a lot of time. I'm grateful to have a family that's willing to come to this place of the abrupt edge with me, and take this risk. I have no doubt that they are angels, and I hope to find out if I am one as well.
If you have questions or thoughts, people I have to talk to, risks I have to consider, or technical suggestions on this blog, drop me a line through whatever contact you have for me, or at adamATbeginningmiddleend.works.


text: Can you believe summer has settled in to stay for a while? And just around the corner is one of our favorite holidays: The Fourth of July. Our nation actually declared its independence from England on July 2, 1776. But the Declaration of Independence was not agreed upon and signed until July 4th. And so our great nation has celebrated our independence on this fourth day of the seventh month every year since.

A simple and new solid-state molten-salt method to synthesise silver (Ag)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for solar light-induced photocatalytic applications is examined. Ag-doped TiO2 nanoparticles with varied Ag content ranging from 3 to 10% were synthesised by a single-step molten-salt synthesis method. The effect of Ag content on the antibacterial and photocatalytic activity of nanoparticles was tested. The prepared nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) diffusive reflectance spectrometer (UV–vis DRS) and powder X-ray diffraction. The SEM image of nanoparticles clearly showed the presence of agglomerated spherical particles. The EDX analysis of the particles confirmed successful doping of particles in the presence of the Ag in the particles. The doping of Ag in TiO2 produced TiO2 pure anatase phase. According to UV–vis DRS results, increasing Ag-doped content in the Ag-doped TiO2 resulted in a higher visible absorption capability of the materials. Ag doping also improved the antibacterial and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles. The maximum photocatalytic activity under light irradiation was observed for 5% Ag-doped TiO2.
Copper (Cu)-doped cadmium sulphide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) sensitised zinc oxide photoelectrodes have been fabricated for a solar cell (SC). For the synthesis of QDs, simple chemical methods have been adapted and the QDs were prepared on poly-vinyl alcohol capping agent. The influences of doping on structural properties of QDs have been studied using X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy images. Ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy reveals an enhanced optical absorption in doped QDs. The photovoltaic performance of the Cu-doped CdS QDs was studied by measuring the current density–voltage (J–V) characteristics of the fabricated SC. An enhanced photo-conversion efficiency was observed in doped CdS QDs compared with the undoped QDs sensitised SC.
The low Pr-doped Bi2O3 photocatalyst was prepared via the acrylamide polymerisation method. The photocatalytic activity of prepared samples was evaluated by degrading methyl orange under visible-light irradiation. In comparison to α-Bi2O3 nanoparticles, 4% Pr-α-Bi2O3 photocatalyst exhibit obviously enhanced photocatalytic performance. The theoretical calculation and experimental results show that Pr doping can extend the optical absorption range from 436 to 518 nm and improve the photocatalytic efficiency from 40.9 to 70.4%. This long-wavelength response can be happened because of Pr doping that gives rise to the modification of electron structure and the hybridisation of the energy levels.
Visible and near-infrared light responsed Sn1−x Bi x S2nanosheets was synthesised via a simple hydrothermal method. Rhodamine B was adopted to evaluate the degradation efficiency of the as-prepared samples. Experimental results showed that the doping content of Bi3+ could obviously affect the degradation efficiency of SnS2. It was first increased and then decreased with increasing the Bi3+ content under the visible light irradiation. When the mole fraction of doping Bi3+ was 5%, the as-prepared Sn0.95Bi0.05S2 with a bandgap of 0.38 eV had the highest degradation efficiency of 95.9% in 120 min. Moreover, the as-prepared composites possessed more effective electron–hole pair separation than that of pure SnS2. In addition, a possible degradation mechanism of the as-prepared Sn0.95Bi0.05S2 was proposed.
A widely used approach to reduce the charge recombination and improve the performance of a silicon based Schottky barrier solar cell (SBSC) is to use an interfacial layer between metal and Si. In the present work we have investigated the role of graphene oxide (GO) as interfacial layer for p doped Si (p-Si) based SBSC utilizing AZO (Aluminum doped ZnO) as transparent top contact. The not obvious compatibility of the different layers combined in the solar device results clear from the improvement of all the electrical parameters measured in the AZO/GO/p-Si solar cell respect to the simple AZO/p-Si device used as reference. In particular dark IV characterization put in evidence the majority carrier blocking properties of the GO in this type of structure, with an increment of 140 meV in the barrier height respect to the device without GO, resulting in a 100% enhancement in the final solar cell efficiency.

The necklace that Linda Santana often wears announces her first love: PRINTMAKING, it says.
Before teaching her first class at Idyllwild Arts Academy, in September 2013, she had spent two weeks reconditioning the school's pair of neglected, rusty, sixty-year-old presses. Now the presses get plenty of use from students who apply the ancient printmaking techniques Linda teaches while they listen to hip hop or classic rock.
"I had one student say she wanted to take my class just for the music," she admits. "Whatever gets them in the door!"
Linda's passion for traditional methods took her to Istanbul in 2015 to study with a world-renowned master of ebru, Turkish paper-marbling. Next year she might undertake another traditional study at La Ceiba Gráfica, in Veracruz.
Having grown up and attended high school in Visalia, in California's Central Valley, she had "never heard of printmaking until college, at the University of California at Santa Cruz." She honed her printmaking skills while earning an M.F.A. at the University of North Texas.
With students, Linda relives the thrill of discovery by preparing them to share their own discoveries with the world. For example, the work for her Senior Seminar class includes teaching students how to build a portfolio for college and how to write résumés and artist's statements.
Watching her students grow as artists—and simply grow up—is always thrilling.
"Some of our international freshmen barely speak English when they arrive, but as seniors they defend their works in front of a roomful of people. And last month's graduating seniors were the first ones I'd watched go all the way through high school."
One of the joys of teaching illuminates Linda's face before she continues.
"It was hard to stay composed at graduation."

First it was the fabric! I had to have Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks collection – and the more the better! I purchased a 1/2 yard set and started making little projects around the house, like my patchwork rugs and computer chair pad.
Then, gradually, I came around and admitted I wanted to make a quilt. Colorbrick was born when Film in the Fridge posted a work-in-progress on her "Postcards from the Park" quilt (which coincidentally she submitted as her favorite to Blogger's quilt festival!). I didn't know how she had achieved that look, but I knew that I liked the way the large rectangle shapes present the fabric. Then one afternoon while reading, I glanced up to see some brickwork through my window. Instantly, I knew that was the feel I wanted. Isn't that how it is sometimes – the right idea comes quickly like a gift from heaven!
Good Folks would show off in large brick shapes and natural linen would make a cool mortar. Not knowing what I was doing, I set to work making the blocks via a paper-piecing technique. Essentially, I was adding a strip of linen to the top and side of each rectangle. Well, it worked, but that was silly! Had I recognized that the top line was sashing, I could have cut one long strip to go all the way across each row of bricks, saving significant time in cutting and sewing.
I had planned from the beginning that I would use a thrifted wool army blanket (thanks, Mom!) as the batting and quilt the back in a stair step echo pattern that would emphasize the brick design. Loved the quilting process!
At first I finished Colorbrick with a bright yellow store bought binding. It was awful. I mean, just reaaaally bad! After ripping it out I made some binding from scraps and it came out alright. I machine attached it for a quick finish. Thanks to all of you who have made sweet comments about my Colorbrick quilt! That picture in the header was taken off the cuff, when we were finished photographing the rest.
The internet is a wonderful place! Thanks, Amy, for organizing such a fun way to share our favorite projects and meet new friends! I'm off now to check out the other quilts in the Blogger's quilt festival!

Cairo's international airport was a scene of chaos and confusion today as thousands of foreigners sought to flee the unrest in Egypt. In a similar story, LAX was a scene of chaos and confusion today because it's Monday.
Bad news: Egypt's shutdown of the internet and mobile phones raised the unrest and riots to new heights. Good news: It cut down on people walking into closed doors while texting.

Read the complete book review by Jack J. Woehr, Dr. Dobbs Journal, June 03, 2005
"If you're like me, you're excited by what people do with template metaprogramming (TMP) but are frustrated at the lack of clear guidance and powerful tools. Well, this is the book we've been waiting for. With help from the excellent Boost Metaprogramming Library, David and Aleksey take TMP from the laboratory to the workplace with readable prose and practical examples, showing that "compile-time STL" is as able as its runtime counterpart. Serving as a tutorial as well as a handbook for experts, this is the book on C++ template metaprogramming."
—Chuck Allison, Editor, The C++ Source
C++ Template Metaprogramming sheds light on the most powerful idioms of today's C++, at long last delivering practical metaprogramming tools and techniques into the hands of the everyday programmer.
A metaprogram is a program that generates or manipulates program code. Ever since generic programming was introduced to C++, programmers have discovered myriad "template tricks" for manipulating programs as they are compiled, effectively eliminating the barrier between program and metaprogram. While excitement among C++ experts about these capabilities has reached the community at large, their practical application remains out of reach for most programmers. This book explains what metaprogramming is and how it is best used. It provides the foundation you'll need to use the template metaprogramming effectively in your own work.
This book is aimed at any programmer who is comfortable with idioms of the Standard Template Library (STL). C++ power-users will gain a new insight into their existing work and a new fluency in the domain of metaprogramming. Intermediate-level programmers who have learned a few advanced template techniques will see where these tricks fit in the big picture and will gain the conceptual foundation to use them with discipline. Programmers who have caught the scent of metaprogramming, but for whom it is still mysterious, will finally gain a clear understanding of how, when, and why it works. All readers will leave with a new tool of unprecedented power at their disposal—the Boost Metaprogramming Library.
The companion CD-ROM contains all Boost C++ libraries, including the Boost Metaprogramming Library and its reference documentation, along with all of the book's sample code and extensive supplementary material.

In 1998 Dave had the privilege of attending a workshop in Generic Programming at Dagstuhl Castle in Germany. Near the end of theworkshop, a very enthusiastic Kristof Czarnecki and Ullrich Eisenecker (of Generative Programming fame) passed out a few pages of C++ source code that they billed as a complete Lisp implementation built out of C++ templates. At the time it appeared to Dave to be nothing more than a curiosity, a charming but impractical hijacking of the template system to prove that you can write programs that execute at compile time. He never suspected that one day he would see a role for metaprogramming in most of his day-to-day programming jobs. In many ways, that collection of templates was the precursor to the Boost Metaprogramming Library (MPL): It may have been the first library designed to turn compile-time C++ from an ad hoc collection of "template tricks" into an example of disciplined and readable software engineering. With the availability of tools to write and understand metaprograms at a high level, we've since found that using these techniques is not only practical, but easy, fun, and often astoundingly powerful.
Despite the existence of numerous real systems built with template metaprogramming and the MPL, many people still consider metaprogramming to be other-worldly magic, and often as something to be avoided in day-to-day production code. If you've never done any metaprogramming, it may not even have an obvious relationship to the work you do. With this book, we hope to lift the veil of mystery, so that you get an understanding not only of how metaprogramming is done, but also why and when. The best part is that while much of the mystery will have dissolved, we think you'll still find enough magic left in the subject to stay as inspired about it as we are.Making the Most of This Book
The first few chapters of this book lay the conceptual foundation you'll need for most everything else we cover, and chapters generally build on material that has come before. That said, feel free to skip ahead for any reason—we've tried to make that possible by providing cross-references when we use terms introduced earlier on.
Chapter 10, Domain-Specific Embedded Languages, is an exception to the rule that later chapters depend on earlier ones. It focuses mostly on concepts, and only appears late in the book because at that point you'll have learned the tools and techniques to put Domain-Specific Embedded Languages into play in real code. If you only remember one chapter by the time you're done, make it that one.
Near the end of many chapters, you'll find a Details section that summarizes key ideas. These sections usually add new material that deepens the earlier discussion,* so even if you are inclined to skim them the first time through, we suggest you refer back to them later.
We conclude most chapters with exercises designed to help you develop both your programming and conceptual muscles. Those marked with asterisks are expected to be more of a workout than the others. Not all exercises involve writing code—some could be considered "essay questions"—and you don't have to complete them in order to move on to later chapters. We do suggest you look through them, give a little thought to how you'd answer each one, and try your hand at one or two; it's a great way to gain confidence with what you've just read.Supplementary Material
This book comes with a companion CD that supplies the following items in electronic form
index.html file at the top level of the CD will provide you
with a convenient guide to all of its contents. Additional and updated material,
including the inevitable errata, will appear on the book's Web site: http://www.boost-consulting.com/mplbook.
You'll also find a place there to report any mistakes you might find.
To compile any of the examples, just put the CD's
boost 1 32 0/
directory into your compiler's
#include path.
The libraries we present in this book go to great lengths to hide the problems of less-than-perfect compilers, so it's unlikely that you'll have trouble with the examples we present here. That said, we divide C++ compilers roughly into three categories.
A. Those with mostly conforming template
implementations. On these compilers, the examples and libraries "just work."
Almost anything released since 2001, and a few compilers released before then,
fall into this category.
B. Those that can be made to work, but require some workarounds in user code.
C. Those that are too broken to use effectively for template metaprogramming.
Appendix D lists the compilers that are known to fall into each of these categories. For those in category B, Appendix D refers to a list of portability idioms. These idioms have been applied to the copies of the book's examples that appear on the accompanying CD, but to avoid distracting the majority of readers they don't appear in the main text.
The CD also contains a portability table with a detailed report of how various compilers are doing with our examples. GCC is available free for most platforms, and recent versions have no problems handling the code we present here.
Even if you have a relatively modern compiler from category A, it might be a good idea to grab a copy of GCC with which to cross-check your code. Often the easiest way to decipher an inscrutable error message is to see what some other compiler has to say about your program. If you find yourself struggling with error messages as you try to do the exercises, you might want to skip ahead and read the first two sections of Chapter 8, which discusses how to read and manage diagnostics.
And now, on to C++ Template Metaprogramming!
— Dave and Aleksey
* We borrowed this idea from Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo's Accelerated C++: Practical Programming By Example.

SAN FRANCISCO -– The Giants plan to activate first baseman Brandon Belt from the disabled list prior to Friday's game at San Diego.
Maybe they can purchase the contract of U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard to play second base. Or Gheorghe Muresan, if he's not too busy.
The Giants twice threw way too high to second base Thursday afternoon, botching what should have been easy double plays in a dispiriting 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at AT&T Park.
First baseman Adam Duvall sailed his throw to open up the Cardinals' three-run fourth inning against Madison Bumgarner. Reliever Yusmeiro Petit channeled his inner Christopher Cross when he sailed one in the seventh.
The Cardinals gave the Giants no significant breakdowns to exploit, and a new-look lineup offered no breakouts. Buster Posey had a controversial strikeout in a big spot with the bases loaded as the Giants dropped their fifth consecutive home series and lost for the 14th time in their last 17 games at Third and King.
Starting pitching report
Bumgarner (9-6) wasn't sharp for a second consecutive start, but he deserved a better fate after getting charged with five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks in five innings.
Bumgarner paid for a mistake in the second inning, when Buster Posey wanted a 1-0 fastball up and in to Jhonny Peralta and the left-hander didn't get it far enough on either score. Left fielder Tyler Colvin didn't even see it off the bat as it landed in the left field seats for a two-run home run.
Bumgarner paid for Duvall's mistake in the fourth. Mark Ellis, as inviting a double-play target as there is in baseball, hit a grounder to first base and Duvall spun and threw to second base. The throw sailed into the outfield and instead of a relatively easy 3-6-3 double play that would have ended the inning, the Cardinals had two on and one out.
Jon Jay lofted a lawn-dart double down the left field line and pitcher Carlos Martinez grounded a two-run single past drawn-in shortstop Brandon Crawford.
Scorers can't assume a double play, so just one of the three runs in the inning was unearned. But all were undeserved.
In addition to the three runs, Duvall also cost Bumgarner an additional 22 pitches in the inning.
Bumgarner was lifted for pinch hitter Joaquin Arias in the fifth inning, even though the pitcher already had an RBI single earlier in the game. Bumgarner's eight RBIs are tied for the major league lead among pitchers.
Bumgarner has a better average than Arias and the same number of RBI.
There's still a decent chance that Bumgarner ends up on the NL All-Star team, especially since he's scheduled to pitch on the Sunday before the break and wouldn't be eligible. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny could name Bumgarner and replace him with another pitcher.
Bullpen report
The relief crew continues to work sloppily. Juan Gutierrez, who was so good at home for the better part of three months, gave up an RBI triple to Shane Robinson in the sixth. And Petit's error led to a run in the seventh.
At the plate
A new-look lineup didn't produce enough against hard-throwing rookie Carlos Martinez.
Instead it was the bottom of the order that accounted for the Giants' first run. Gregor Blanco, demoted from leadoff to eighth, started the third inning with a double down the right field line on a down and in pitch. Then Bumgarner slashed his RBI single to left field.
The Giants' best chance against Martinez (2-3) came in the fifth inning, when Blanco reached on a bunt single, Hunter Pence beat out an infield hit following a replay reversal and Joe Panik drew a walk. But Posey struck out on a 2-2 curveball, and argued that he foul tipped it. Replays appeared to show that the ball hit the dirt before catcher Yadier Molina secured it. Either way, Posey was called out.
The Giants scored their second run in the sixth when Brandon Crawford singled with two aboard and Tyler Colvin scored on an error in center field. But Blanco struck out and pinch hitter Hector Sanchez looked awful from the right side while grounding out to short. The Giants certainly could've used Marco Scutaro in that spot. Maybe they'll get him back later this month.
The Giants received just one hit out of the Nos. 1-5 batters in the lineup. The Cardinals had three hits from the No. 9 spot alone, two from pitchers.
In field
Pablo Sandoval continues to step up his defensive game. Despite having the entire left side of the field to cover on a shift play, Sandoval made a diving stop of Oscar Taveras' grounder and threw to start a 5-4-3 double play in the fifth inning.
The Giants prevented a run in the eighth when Tyler Colvin caught a moderately deep fly ball near the line and threw a one-hop strike to the plate. Posey applied the tag on pitcher Seth Maness to complete the double play.
If only the Giants had completed those other two double plays as well.
The Giants announced 41,181 paid and Cardinals fans left happy. Then again, they're always happy. They even consider Ted Drewes mediocre Frozen Custard a gourmet experience!
Up next
The Giants begin a three-game series with the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Friday. Matt Cain (1-6, 4.38 ERA) takes the mound against Padres left-hander Eric Stults (2-11, 5.36). First pitch is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. PDT. It'll be Tim Hudson (7-5, 2.59) vs. right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne (2-0, 0.66) on Saturday and Tim Lincecum (7-5, 4.06) vs. right-hander Jesse Hahn (4-1, 1.95) on Sunday.

Introduction to Peas and Beans
This family of vegetables are useful, practical, culinary and ornamental – so well worth a spot on your vegetable plot.
They belong to the 'legume' family that are a group of plants which include peas, beans, sweet peas, wisteria and broom. They have specialised roots (nodules) that fix nitrogen from the air and convert to a nitrogen-form in the soil that plants can take up through their roots as a nutrient.
They often display attractive and colourful flowers before they fruit, so serve an ornamental purpose as well as a culinary one.
What's more – you'll get a sweeter crop from home-grown peas and beans. The longer the pods are off the plant, the more the sugar turns to starch and the pods lose their sweetness. Picking from your garden and using in dishes soon after, will ensure keeping a naturally high sugar-content.
Sowing and planting
Different varieties of peas and bean require different sowing times; consult the seed packet or growing instructions for the individual variety. There are some facts and tips though that apply to all pea and bean crops.
For an earlier harvest, you can sow peas and beans, which have relatively large seeds, in late February and early March outdoors under cloches or horticultural fleece.
With peas, try not to grow in the same location for more than one year. Planting the same crop in the same soil year after year may build up diseases and harm the crop.
Seeds are a delicacy for mice so you may need to be aware, and put up protective netting. As seedlings grow, you may need to be vigilant and watch out for other pests – particularly birds.
Germination time 1-2 weeks
Keep area well-weeded with a hoe, being careful to avoid delicate seedlings.
Before planting, prepare the soil in autumn or winter. You'll want your soil to be fertile without being too rich – some legumes, particularly peas, are quite fussy in their soil requirements. Aim to add two buckets of bulky compost or manure for every square metre and apply a light dressing of general purpose fertiliser shortly before sowing. This will suffice for the whole growing season.
Water thoroughly at sowing or planting time, and this will suffice until flowering except during particularly dry periods.
Once flowers appear, keep the soil well-watered. A mulch applied at seedling / young plant stage will help to conserve soil-moisture and lessen the need for watering.
Peas and beans appreciate a sunny and sheltered spot for optimum growth.
Harvesting and storing
You'll find beans and peas are very prolific and you'll need to be vigilant to keep on top of harvests. For continual harvest through the season, ensure you're picking at least every couple of days. A break in harvesting, will halt production of further beans quite rapidly.
You may find you'll have a glut of pods so either give away to friends and family or consider freezing. Refrigerated beans and peas should keep in a plastic bag for up to a week or a few days if kept in a cool kitchen or garage.

Throughout my development career I have used a lot of useful Javascript libraries for various reasons. Below I have compiled a short list of the ones I have found the easiest to use and most useful. They are in no particular order.
This library has become quite well known and is a really good way of quickly building interactive HTML tables. Datatables is a JQuery plugin that essentially does what it says on the tin. It will create a table with headings and pagination given a JSON object of data, the JSON object can be on page or from an AJAX response. Due to its short learning curve, but full feature range I would say that is why many people are finding it a say useful Javascript library to have in their development stack.
Javascript dates and times are always a little fiddly, but Moment.js makes them really easy to work with. It has some great configuration options and simple to use functions. After only spending around 5-10 minutes reading through their documentation I had learnt enough to get started. Good documentation is a must in order to make a good Javascript library.
Full Calendar
Full Calendar is a calendar / events based Javascript library. It works a lot like Google calendar or if you are a mac user then the calendar app on Mac OS X. You can have month, week or day views, have events span across multiple days all with some very straight forward configuration. Again great documentation and really easy to get started with. Anyone making an admin interface or events section on a website would find this library really useful.
This one is really powerful. AmCharts have a full selection of chart types from basic line and bar charts to complex multi series real time data feeds. They even have a map library as well. I once worked on an analytics platform and this was a must have Javascript library during that project. If you are comfortable working with JSON data in Javascript then this will be easy to pick up and a really useful tool to learn.
Parsley is the easiest to use Javascript form validation I have come across. Load in the library, add a few data attributes and most of your needs will be met. They have a comprehensive documentation site if they aren't. One of the most commonly used Javascript libraries is JQuery validation, but I have to say Parsley is much better. It is easier to use and customize and has a just as good a following for when you need a StackOverflow post.

The concept of dual-lens camera has been seen in two major flagships till date – the HTC One M8 and the Huawei Honor 6 Plus. A recent report coming from the Taiwanese media says that CEO of Altek- Xiauru Wen has been quoted claiming that the Cupertino giant Apple has been investigating about the dual lens camera setup since past three years. Altek is the company that currently manufactures the dual lens camera modules for HTC and Huawei.
Wen says that before bringing this technology to the people, the Cupertino tech giant wants to make completely sure that they have the powerful technology to support it. The company is however said to have developed different apps that can work for the dual-lens camera system. However, it would be interesting to see how Apple uses this technology to the customers benefit apart from just the sales point-of-view. Additionally, one more thing that is stopping Apple is the concern the company faces regarding the suppliers yield to meet the demand.
The reports also claims that Apple has been caught is some technical issue known as the optical axis deviation wherein some of the units took the blurred images. Moreover, it also says that Lorgan that provides 80% of the camera lenses which Apple has in its recent iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has also announced to double its productivity capacity. This has raised the speculations that the tech giant is likely to have a dual-lens setup in its next iPhone but it seems to be bit difficult for the iPhone 6s expected this year.
The latest released concept video has also highlighted the dual-lens feature for the next iPhone 7.

Produced by Dorothy Lowery-All Can Learn Consultant
I am not an affiliate of any freelancing websites. This is just an honest review.
What is freelancing?
Whether you're looking for another way to pay the bills, seeking more professional development opportunities or just love the freedom that freelancing offers, there's no question that millions of people have discovered
New business owners watch out for scams. Starting a new business can be both exciting and overwhelming all at the same time.
You're filled with excitement about possibly following your dreams and passions. This is the opportunity to be your own boss and enjoy it. You may finally be getting the chance to pursue your niche and make a living.
What if you need extra cash? Along with starting a new business comes the overwhelming reminders that you still have bills to pay. You still need medical insurance. If you gave up your job, lack of money can become a deterrent.
So, if you explore other opportunities to make extra money, try freelancing.
The services of some online companies like freelancer offer jobs on their website. Some freelancers looking for work choose to accept job offers from these websites. It's a really good way to make extra money. Let's face it, the extra money will help while pursuing the dream of becoming a business owner or whatever you're pursuing.
As a freelancer looking for work, you pretty much set your own hours and accept the rate of pay you want for freelancing jobs. Just be careful, there's always possibility for scams. You can protect yourself.
Using websites for freelancers can be confusing at first. If looking for work, why do you have to keep paying all these small fees for additional services? Extra charges to get your bid at a better ranking and job offers quickly. The charges can add up but for the small fees it may be worth it.
Using websites for freelancers can connect you to a variety of opportunities all over the world. There are some excellent professionals on these websites offering their services. Just make sure you follow the guidelines outlined on the website for receiving payments for your work in a timely manner.
Watch Out for Scams
So, some have reported being scammed through websites like this. Completing a job for someone but not getting paid for it does happen. Again, be sure to follow the guidelines outlined on the website for receiving payments and you should be fine.
On the other side of this coin, as a small business owner, you may use the services of companies to hire a freelancer.
Maybe you need a graphic designer or someone to create a logo for your business. You can end up getting someone to provide this service for you at a reasonable rate and good quality of work. There's also the chance that you pay for services, but never receive it. Just be careful, and protect yourself from this and you should be fine.
Scammers can be clever and they prey on people. Learn from the mistakes of others. Follow the companies policies for making payments, and receiving payments for services.
As an added layer of protection, networking is great for unleashing valuable resources. Use testimonials and recommendations from others when deciding to do business online.


text: The Elegance Surround loudspeaker has been developed to complete the Elegance line for multi-channel AV setups. As could be expected the shape of cabinet has similar curves as can been found on the standing dB7 and dB9 series, to realise smooth curves and promote acoustic invisibility of the surrounds. The more coherent and smooth the total multi-channel field, the more realistic the sonic experience will be. The seamless integration of the elegance surrounds with the main channels are also supported by the extended low frequency of the surrounds, much beyond what would be expected given their modest size. The Elegance surrounds are actually high-end 2-way monitors, with wide dispersion. The usage of this surround is highly recommended for a full AV- elegance experience.

Note: You might not be able to get all of these groups - it depends on your local news server. Two non-UK groups available at Oxford are aus.religion and fj.life.religion.
There are four main sections: alt, soc, talk, and uk. The last of these will probably be available only if your server is in the UK; otherwise there may be a Usenet hierarchy for your own country.
Generally speaking, there's no discrenible difference between the alt, soc, and talk groups. The alt (alternative) groups are less official than the others, though this doesn't usually show up in the content.
The best advice I can give if you've never sampled the delights of Usenet groups is this: don't allow yourself to put off immediately, however chaotic and/or repellent things seem. You'll soon find that 95% of most of the groups is noise, and you'll learn to spot it and ignore it. The remaining 5% can offer interesting and sometimes informative discussion; it's worth persevering.
You should be aware of copyright as it affects Usenet articles.
For details of non-Usenet discussion, see here.

"A pub competition offering 50 crates of beer to the winner has concerned an alcohol watchdog group which says it risks promoting excessive drinking.
The competition, being run at The Shed in Rotorua, involves weekly entrants chasing a prize which can either be taken in one hit, or one crate at a time for a year.
Alcohol Advisory Council (Alac) chief executive Gerard Vaughn questioned whether such initiatives breached a national protocol stating promotions involving large quantities of free alcoholic drinks were unacceptable, The Daily Post reported..."
Just try minding your own friggin' business for once, you bloody wowsers!
Did it ever occur to you busybodies that the winner will probably have a lot of help offered to down this prize?

Roving Rogue Review: A Rogue Rogue's Roving Rules
Greg Johnson / Jul 8th, 2015 No Comments
Do you ever wish you knew the end of a story while you were halfway through? Do you peak at the end of a book before you finished reading the beginning? Wii U-exclusive Roving Rogue is a platformer where the story is told backwards.
The game takes on the premise of beginning at the end. Players take control of a rogue attempting to escape the castle while uncovering how he got there to begin with. It boasts difficult challenges, but the story is convoluted to say the least.
A Storybook in Gibberish
Kurt, the protagonist, recently defeated an all-powerful mage. The game begins with players simply moving to the boss and killing him with a touch, which is rather anticlimactic. The credits roll, but this isn't where the game ends. Players can skip the credits and then must quickly escape upwards.
Players collect relics that contain Kurt's stored memories as the main villain has a habit of causing memory loss in the heroes who face him. As more relics are collected, more of Kurt's story is uncovered. A storybook, which is written entirely in gibberish at the beginning of the game, is slowly translated as relics are acquired.
The frustrating part of this mechanic is that players can beat the entire game and never really understand what happened. Enough of the relics are easy to grab and each new level begins with a note from Kurt or another character, giving insight into the game's story — novel notes are like medieval tweets complete with hashtags on parchments. However, having plot elements revealed almost exclusively via optional objectives is a gamble that often leaves players wondering what is going on.
Don't Go Back
Each level has the same rhythm, with players quickly traveling in one direction to escape through a door at the end. Players are chased by rising lava or some other catastrophe as the dungeon falls apart.
Roving Rogue is intensely challenging. Some of the jumps required are tough enough alone, but players will also have to compete with enemies scattered throughout levels and a timer of sorts in the form of rising lava. This amps the difficulty up to high.
For the most part, enemies are dispatched with a touch or a jump. As a rogue, Kurt is able to backstab any enemy unaware of his presence. Should an enemy spot the roving rogue, a jump on the head will kill them. The protagonist is also able to teleport varying distances. This ability allows players to avoid most enemies and save valuable time. Teleporting can also be utilized to pass through oddly colored architecture, which is crucial when grabbing relics or just surviving.
Monotonous Melody
The 8-bit style graphics fit the platforming gameplay that harkens back to older times in gaming. Enemies and multiple Kurts in multiplayer are easily recognizable. Sadly, the music is boring. The novel chase music quickly becomes repetitive. It serves its purpose of heightening tension with dramatic flair, but turns into white noise amidst players trying to escape. Luckily, the sounds of various enemies spotting and attacking Kurt breaks up the monotony.
Multiplayer is an option in Roving Rogue. Taking on the challenges with friends makes it easier to collect relics and survive levels. Players that are downed can be revived by others, and this adds another layer to gameplay. It can be a dangerous endeavor as taking time to revive a fallen teammate can be fatal to players in the crumbling castle.
A Winner is You
Roving Rogue is an incredibly challenging, unique experience. The backwards storytelling had the potential to be interesting, but the plot doesn't offer much other than a reason for the game's setting. Despite its obvious shortcomings, the fast-paced platforming and multiplayer capabilities make the game worth playing, especially amongst friends.
Roving Rogue is currently available for Wii U.
Roving Rogue was reviewed on Wii U using a code for the game provided by the publisher.

i am selling a property with a completion date of 1st June. the new buyers are renting it out straight away and are trying to insist i let the landlord check be completed before contracts are signed. this property has never been let out before and i am wondering if the check will be legal if the check is completed before the sale and if there will be any comeback on me as i will still own the property. the boiler is only 2 years old. they say if i don't have the checks done they won't exchange contracts.
