Don't Become a Victim
Theft of heating and diesel oil has been a problem for many years and the police have always noticed an increase in this type of crime whenever the price of crude oil rises. A rise in the price of fuel at the petrol pump inevitably leads to a rise in the cost of heating oil. This makes oil a more attractive proposition for the thief and they are now actively targeting fuel tanks at farms, transport depots and domestic properties. The thief may be using the oil for their own central heating or selling it on at a handsome profit. These tanks can contain many thousands of pounds worth of oil and it therefore makes good sense to take a few precautions to protect them.
Siting Your Oil Tank
The position of the tank can have a significant effect on how hard a target it is in the eyes of the thief. If the tank is close to the house, with one or more windows capable of giving a view of it, then the thief may consider the chances of being seen too high. If the tank is close to a road, path, drive or alleyway then it will be a far easier target. Hiding the tank behind the garage, shed or some other type of outbuilding is fairly commonplace, but it does give the thief the advantage.
Control Switches
Control switches that control the flow of oil should be turned off and the electricity supply isolated when the tank is not in use.
A thief will usually come equipped with a limited range of tools to attack your tank so it's worth spending a little more on good quality locks. Close shackle padlocks are the best as they offer most resistance to the most popular of burglar tools; the bolt cropper! Remember that buying a padlock is like buying a car, the more you pay the better the quality and the longer it will last.
Oil Level Gauges
Remote electronic oil level gauges are now available which will set off an audible alarm if the oil level in the tank suddenly drops or falls below a quarter full. These gauges can be located in the kitchen or perhaps a utility room to warn of any potential problem. There are two or three different versions on the market at the moment and cost between £70 and £100. Get into the habit of regularly checking oil levels so that you will know if you have lost any.
Security Lights
Security lights can have a very positive effect and make any property a much harder target for the thief. It's not always necessary to floodlight the area with high power beams, as a more subtle level of lighting may be all that is needed. Low energy 'dusk till dawn' lights positioned close to the tank should, in most cases, provide sufficient light to illuminate any suspicious activity.
Defensive Planting
Defensive planting is nature's way of helping to reduce crime. Thieves will not wish to force their way through or over a prickly hedge. The smallest trace of blood or shred of ripped clothing could help the police identify the offender. These shrubs can, if planted around your tank, provide an effective and decorative thief proof barrier. If you would like more information about defensive plants to protect your property contact your local community safety team on 101.
Securing Your Oil Tank
Following on from the defensive plant tactic, fences and walls can also make life difficult for the thief. A wooden or metal fence, trellis or wall can give significant protection to the tank, but it must be remembered that the oil tanker driver will need access to fill the tank! A metal or grill cage with a lockable access point across the top of this wall or fence can further improve security. The wall or fence should be as close to the tank and as high as possible. Of course a trellis could also be decorated with defensive planting. A product called 'Tank Guard' surrounds the existing storage tank with a metal enclosure. This sheet metal enclosure has lockable access doors to allow filling and maintenance and has internal anchorage points to fix it to the concrete base. A tank guard costs less than one tank full of oil and will last many years.
The use of CCTV as crime prevention and a crime detection tool has grown massively in recent years. It could play a part in the protection of oil tanks, but before you spend lots of money on equipment make an assessment of your needs.
Some Basic Security Tips
These thefts are known to occur both during the day and night. You can assist in preventing these thefts by considering the following precautions:
- Ensure that your diesel tank/pump has some form of substantial locking device on it
- Check the level of fuel in your tank regularly so you are sure none has gone missing and you always know how much fuel you have
- Install security lights that come on when there is movement in the garden. Consider having a simple alarm system fitted.
- Be vigilant report any suspicious vehicles in the area to the police with details of make, model, registration, colour, any markings/phone numbers displayed, number of occupants and any descriptions
Additional Advice
OFTEC or the 'Oil Firing Technical Association for the petroleum industry' offers advice and guidance for those who use and store oil at their premises. There are certain rules and regulations that may apply to you and OFTEC will help clarify these for you.

When we first covered Garmz, the site was a place where anyone with a sketch and a bit of vision could see their idea actually put into production. This week, they've rebranded and relaunched as LOOKK, with backing from a few notable investors and an expanded offering for (slightly) more established designers. {Signature9 Mediawire}
One of the investors backing the demand driven production model that LOOKK offers is Carmen Busquets, one of Net-a-Porter's earliest investors. Busquets' bet on e-commerce as a place for luxury brands was so early, in fact, that she ended up with nearly one-third of the company by the time Richemont acquired it for £350 million (nearly $570 million at current exchange rates).
In a statement provided to Signature9, Busquets explains why she thinks LOOKK could be the next Net-a-Porter.
"LOOKK felt to me like the natural evolution for technology in fashion – something I wanted to explore following Net-a-Porter," she said. "Its power is in its ability to help designers start and, crucially, sustain their fashion career – not only paying them a commission on their designs, but also covering production costs and helping them to market themselves."
But it's the opportunity to use votes and comments as indicators of future sales success that appeals to her as a matter of business.
"The detailed market data available through LOOKK means we can predict demand for pieces much more efficiently than with a traditional model," Busquets explains. "This, coupled with shorter production cycles, means we can produce smaller, demand-driven, batches - significantly reducing waste, and therefore costs."
When we first covered Garmz at LeWeb, we noted that funding and production are two areas designers can struggle with. As LOOKK, the site expands to designers who may be advanced enough to have samples and some knowledge beyond conceptualizing a product. Not that there's anything wrong with concept - one of our favorite pieces was conceived by someone with no formal training at all - but it opens the process to a group that's still largely unorganized when it comes to sales and marketing.
There are challenges to success for LOOKK though: while Net-a-Porter struggled to find receptive brands at the start, they have the benefit of promoting clothes from well known designers who have large sales and marketing machines behind them. For emerging designers, who don't have the benefit of celebrity placement and million dollar advertising and publicity campaigns, LOOKK has to drive the sales and marketing machine online, but that's tough enough with one brand - nevermind 5 or 6 (or more).
Plus, while being first isn't easy, Net-a-Porter was essentially proposing a different channel for an existing model (they buy, and sell). Consumer feedback and voting, while exciting from a business perspective, doesn't fit within the normal fashion cycle. It will likely require a few breakout hits before being fully embraced by aspiring designers who find it easier to understand a straightforward purchase order.
That said, the fact that LOOKK offers production and feedback is a significant incentive for designers, and a significant challenge to competitors. 500 Startups' Dave McClure isn't exactly known for e-commerce or fashion investments, but the emerging talent structure and support offering that forms a large part of LOOKK's model certainly has its similarities with early stage incubators, a concept that Silicon Valley fully understands. While they may not be able to offer the muscle of an LVMH, there's very little competition to stop LOOKK from becoming the Y-Combinator or Seedcamp (which funded the company in 2010) of fashion. New York based Fabricly has a similar production to promotion offering focused on emerging designers, but designer selection is largely without social input, and is often focused on a single designer at a time.
Disclosure: I served as a marketing advisor to LOOKK prior to launch. This post was not submitted to or reviewed by LOOKK prior to publication, and solely represents the opinions of the author.

Unity among Christians has been a concern of mine since I was a teenager. The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity seems to sneak up on us every January and doesn't get the attention it deserves. So, this year, I've decided to put together an online opportunity for the observance. The materials contained herein are drawn entirely from materials that are jointly prepared and published by The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and The Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches and are available in their complete form HERE. Other resources from Graymore, such as the image displayed on this page, are available HERE. RDP+
Introduction ~ The Search for Unity: Throughout the Year
The traditional period in the northern hemisphere for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is 18-25 January. Those dates were proposed in 1908 by Paul Wattson to cover the days between the feasts of St Peter and St Paul, and therefore have a symbolic significance. In the southern hemisphere where January is a vacation time churches often find other days to celebrate the week of prayer, for example around Pentecost (suggested by the Faith and Order movement in 1926), which is also a symbolic date for the unity of the church. Mindful of this flexibility concerning the date, we encourage you to understand the material presented here as an invitation to find opportunities throughout the whole year to express the degree of communion which the churches have already reached, and to pray together for that full unity which is Christ's will.
2011 Theme ~ The Church in Jerusalem, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
Two thousand years ago, the first disciples of Christ gathered in Jerusalem experienced the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and were joined together in unity as the body of Christ. In that event, Christians of every time and place see their origin as a community of the faithful, called together to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Although that earliest Jerusalem church experienced difficulties, both externally and internally, its members persevered in faithfulness and fellowship, in breaking bread and prayers.
It is not difficult to see how the situation of the first Christians in the Holy City mirrors that of the church in Jerusalem today. The current community experiences many of the joys and sorrows of the early church; its injustice and inequality, and its divisions, but also its faithful perseverance, and recognition of a wider unity among Christians.
The churches in Jerusalem today offer us a vision of what it means to strive for unity, even amid great problems. They show us that the call to unity can be more than mere words, and indeed that it can point us toward a future where we anticipate and help build the heavenly Jerusalem.
Realism is required to make reality of such a vision. The responsibility for our divisions lies with us; they are the results of our own actions. We need to change our prayer, asking God to change us so that we may actively work for unity. We are ready enough to pray for unity, but that can become a substitute for action to bring it about. Is it possible that we ourselves are blocking the Holy Spirit because we are the obstacles to unity; that our own hubris prevents unity?
The call for unity this year comes to churches all over the world from Jerusalem, the mother church. Mindful of its own divisions and its own need to do more for the unity of the Body of Christ, the churches in Jerusalem calls all Christians to rediscover the values that bound together the early Christian community in Jerusalem, when they devoted themselves to the Apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. This is the challenge before us. The Christians of Jerusalem call upon their brothers and sisters to make this week of prayer an occasion for a renewed commitment to work for a genuine ecumenism, grounded in the experience of the early Church.
Four Elements of Unity
The 2011 prayers for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity have been prepared by Christians in Jerusalem, who chose as a theme Acts 2:42, 'They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.' This theme is a call back to the origins of the first church in Jerusalem; it is a call for inspiration and renewal, a return to the essentials of the faith; it is a call to remember the time when the church was still one. Within this theme four elements are presented which were marks of the early Christian community, and which are essential to the life of the Christian Community wherever it exists. Firstly, the Word was passed on by the apostles. Secondly, fellowship (koinonia) was an important mark of the early believers whenever they met together. A third mark of the early Church was the celebration of the Eucharist (the 'breaking of the bread'), remembering the New Covenant which Jesus has enacted in his suffering, death and resurrection. The fourth aspect is the offering of constant prayer. These four elements are the pillars of the life of the church, and of its unity.
The Christian Community in the Holy Land wishes to give prominence to these basic essentials as it raises its prayers to God for the unity and vitality of the church throughout the world. The Christians of Jerusalem invite their sisters and brothers around the world to join them in prayer as they struggle for justice, peace and prosperity for all people of the land.
Acts 2:42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. (NRSV)
The Themes of the Eight Days
There is a journey of faith that can be discerned in the themes of the eight days. From its first beginnings in the upper room, the early Christian community experiences the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, enabling it to grow in faith and unity, in prayer and in action, so that it truly becomes a community of the Resurrection, united with Christ in his victory over all that divides us from each other and from him. The church in Jerusalem then itself becomes a beacon of hope, a foretaste of the heavenly Jerusalem, called to reconcile not just our churches but all peoples. This journey is guided by the Holy Spirit, who brings the early Christians to the knowledge of the truth about Jesus Christ, and who fills the early Church with signs and wonders, to the amazement of many. As they continue their journey, the Christians of Jerusalem gather with devotion to listen to the Word of God set forth in the apostles' teaching, and come together in fellowship to celebrate their faith in sacrament and prayer. Filled with the power and hope of the Resurrection, the community celebrates its certain victory over sin and death, so that it has the courage and vision to be itself a tool of reconciliation, inspiring and challenging all people to overcome the divisions and injustice that oppress them.
The readings, commentary, and prayer for each day may be downloaded.
Day 1 sets forth the background to the mother church of Jerusalem, making clear its continuity with the church throughout the world today. It reminds us of the courage of the early church as it boldly witnessed to the truth, just as we today need to work for justice in Jerusalem, and in the rest of the world.
Day 2 recalls that the first community united at Pentecost contained within itself many diverse origins, just as the church in Jerusalem today represents a rich diversity of Christian traditions. Our challenge today is to achieve greater visible unity in ways that embrace our differences and traditions.
Day 3 looks at the first essential element of unity; the Word of God delivered through the teaching of the apostles. The church in Jerusalem reminds us that, whatever our divisions, these teachings urge us to devote ourselves in love to each other, and in faithfulness to the one body which is the church.
Day 4 emphasises Sharing as the second expression of unity. Just as the early Christians held all things in common, the Church in Jerusalem calls upon all brothers and sisters in the church to share goods and burdens with glad and generous hearts, so that nobody stays in need.
Day 5 expresses the third element of unity; the Breaking of the Bread, which joins us in hope. Our unity goes beyond Holy Communion; it must include a right attitude towards ethical living, the human person and the whole community. The Jerusalem church urges Christians to unite in "the breaking of bread" today, because a divided church cannot speak out with authority on issues of Justice and Peace.
Day 6 presents the fourth mark of unity; with the church in Jerusalem, we draw strength from spending time in prayer. Specifically, the Lord's Prayer calls all of us in Jerusalem and throughout the world, the weak and the mighty, to work together for justice, peace and unity that God's Kingdom may come.
Day 7 takes us beyond the four elements of unity, as the Jerusalem church joyfully proclaims the Resurrection even while it bears the pain of the Cross. The Resurrection of Jesus is for Christians in Jerusalem today hope and strength that enables them to remain constant in their witness, working for freedom and peace in the City of Peace.
Day 8 concludes the journey with a call from the Jerusalem churches to the wider service of reconciliation. Even if Christians achieve unity among themselves, their work is not done, for they need to reconcile themselves with others. In the Jerusalem context this means Palestinian and Israeli; in other communities, Christians are challenged to seek justice and reconciliation in their own context.
The theme of each day has therefore been chosen not only to recall for us of the history of the early church, but also to bring to mind the experiences of Christians in Jerusalem today, and to invite us all to reflect upon how we may bring that experience into the lives of our local Christian communities. During this journey of eight days, the Christians of Jerusalem invite us to proclaim and bear witness that Unity - in its fullest sense of faithfulness to the Apostles' teachings and fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and the prayers - will enable us together to overcome evil, not just in Jerusalem, but throughout the world.

The Passion and Victory
This is Easter, Resurrection Day, 2016. It is a day to celebrate the most significant event in the history of mankind. It surpasses any great human event in history. No army has marched, a president lead, a victory won, a discovery made, or an invention introduced that has so changed the course of humanity for eternity.
While many hope that there is nothing more than this short journey across the face of the earth, the human soul knows differently. It is not a taught or learned response, it is set in the soul of man by the creator. Education and philosophy may try to rob the soul of its spiritual DNA, but it still is there. That first breath of God that made man a living soul has been in the heart of man ever since. It is not a discovery that the soul makes, but it is the response of that which lies within, seeking its creator and the touch of the divine once again.
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead confirms what lies within us, that craving for eternity, life forevermore. His victory over death and the grave resonates in our heart. It touches something very deep in each of us. The resonance is hope, confirmation, and a direction home.
This week is called Passion Week. It is the high season for Christianity. No matter what the denomination, Passion Week forms the backbone of our faith. You cannot depart from these significant events and be a Christian.
I was born again on Good Friday 1956. Each time I walk through this season I am touched deeply. Watching the Passion as presented by Tyler Perry in New Orleans and in a very modern setting, I could not hold back the tears. Something very deep inside responds to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. As I watched with Cathy, the folks in the crowd had tears rolling down their cheeks. Even the singer/actor who played the part of Jesus was moved to tears in his portrayal of the Christ. I watched Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ once. I do not believe I could watch it again, my heart hurt too much to watch it again. Even though it was a moving portrayal of the events, the Passion (suffering) was too hard on my emotions and heart.
The Passion however changed the world and now death, where is your sting and grave, where is your victory. When Jesus arose from the grave, He overcame sin and death and brought us the victory and He lives to reign forevermore!
In High Hope,
Pastor Bill

It's no surprise, but any excuse to bathe in the glorious wonder that was 'The Last of Us' is fine by us.
'The Last of Us' is widely considered to be the best single player game ever made. It reached the summit of many 'game of the year' and 'top ten' lists – including ours – and polished everything off with five awards at last night's Video Game Baftas.
The Last of Us cleaned up at last night's Baftas
The post-pandemic thriller is a story about the two central characters rather than the world that surrounds them, but that's not to say the backdrop isn't anything short of jaw dropping. In terms of story, character development and technical achievement, The Last of Us broke new ground for video games.
And that rang true when the awards were being doled out at last night's awards ceremony. Naughty Dog – the celebrated developer behind The Last of Us - saw their game grab awards for Best Action/Adventure, Best Story, Audio Achievement, Best Performance for Ashley Johnson, who played the role of Ellie; and finally, the biggie: Best Game.
"The team worked insanely hard for three-and-a-half years, and put a lot of faith in us, so coming out the other side and bringing all these awards home to them is super exciting," the developers said.
It was Rockstar – the makers of the hugely popular, record-breaking 'Grand Theft Auto V' – that picked up the Fellowship award, recognising their outstanding contribution to the art form. "This is a tremendous honour to us as a mostly British-run company." Dan Houser – co-founder of the company - said in his acceptance speech.
"This is the first time, as far as I know, that Bafta has given an award to 900 people. Rockstar is a team and a family and it has always been our policy to focus on collaboration. Games are made by hundreds of amazingly talented people, sometimes happily, sometimes with screaming arguments, but always with a passion for the project."
GTA V's Trevor is a fan's favourite
CVG's Rob Crossley noted that while GTA V and Rockstar are worthy recipients for awards, it's The Last of Us and Naughty Dog that are paving the way for the future of the medium. "Grand Theft Auto is an achievement in everything that video games have been over the last 20 years," he said. "It's expansive, emergent gameplay of astounding scale. But The Last of Us probably represents where we're going to go with games in the next 10 years," he told The BBC.

Director wins Robert P. Todd Award
Tamara Carter
At this year's employee convocation, the Robert P. Todd Leadership Award went to Mathematics Director Tamara Carter.
Established in 2006, the award recognizes employees who demonstrate outstanding leadership in their work, according to college officials.
The award is named after former OCCC President Robert P. Todd, who died in December 2005.
"I am so honored to receive this award," Carter said. "There are so many great leaders on this campus. It's great to be recognized."
She said she is pleased with the changes her department has made in order to improve classes for students.
"Our department is very proactive in looking for ways to help our students succeed," Carter said.

The Haute Route Rockies was a very, very last minute endeavor for yours truly. I found myself registered for the 7 day long stage race/fondo/ride with 5 minutes before close at 4pm on Friday (ask me for the story sometime). Many texts, phone calls and favors from friends later – I had mostly sorted out where I'd stay each night along the point to point route. We'd travel from Boulder into the mountains to the west, through Winter Park, Avon, Snowmass and Crested Butte on our way to the finish in Colorado Springs.
If you're unfamiliar with Haute Route cycling events, as I was, think of road stage racing but in this case the peloton would somewhat regroup after portions – or the race would neutralize through towns or dangerous descents. Remove the complex team support component and have all the categories start together (again, neutral). You end up with one part cycling tourism, one part race, and a full pro experience with race support from Mavic.
What I did NOT know going into the event was just how long the timed sections were. I've raced enduro format MTB events, where intense downhill segments/stages are timed and then you take your sweet time pedaling up to the start of the next stage. This was a completely different animal. I remember one timed section in the middle of our stage from Avon to Crested Butte that was about 90km long and conquered two mountain passes. Another stage, nearly all of it was timed except for a couple short jaunts through two towns.
This makes for a true stage racing experience yet accessible to anyone who wants to sign up. Granted, adequate training ahead of time will make sure you get your money's worth vs. spending many hours traversing the Rockies with the 'Lantern Rouge' rider, signaling the tail of the field. It could be worse – our Lantern Rouge rider this year was Anne Donley and if you're going to drag your butt to the finish, it doesn't hurt to have an upbeat riding partner to get you there.
Mavic provides exceptional neutral support before/after each stage as well as their fleet of race support vehicles (motos, sprinter and multiple cars). The event has complimentary massages after each day, some pretty solid food at each finish, and hauls all your gear for the week from place to place. The race staff as well as Colorado State Patrol do an excellent job of controlling intersections and keeping everyone safe. The aid stations are well stocked and the staff is super friendly. At the front of the race you'll find current and former pros battling one another and at the back you'll find riders looking for a challenging experience on the bike, working hard to finish each day.
You can read all about each stage via the Haute Route Rockies site, so I'll omit that here. I do have videos from the stages below (except stage 1 and 7) that should give you an idea of the scenery, road surface and the overall vibe at the front of the race. A few additional notes:
- Bring your big tires
- Colorado has some lovely roads – it just so happens some of them are dirt, or are connected with dirt sections. I wouldn't use anything narrower than a 28mm tire for this event. We were lucky and some of the unpaved sections were as smooth as pavement but you could find yourself in a tough spot if conditions leaned the other direction. A road bike that can clear 30mm tires – perfect. Disc brakes would be lovely as well. In my opinion, you do not need a full-on gravel bike for this, however.
- Get the hotel package – you're worth it.
- The convenience of sleeping where you finish/start every night cannot be overstated. I juggled staying at friends' homes throughout the event and it was…challenging. Granted – if you can coordinate rides from/to the starting area each day at 6 different places, you could save yourself some coin but you'll be earning it. With the accommodation package, your post-race meal and breakfast each day will be walking distance from your room. Perfect!
- Train for it. Yes…actually train for it.
- This is not an event to jump off the couch and participate in unless you're training/racing regularly in the first place. Multiple racing days nearing 100 miles long at altitude and up to 9k feet of climbing, some back to back…let's just say this isn't Ride the Rockies.
Who's it for?
Riders who not only want a multi-day cycling event (plenty of those out there) but who also want to race. Enjoying the scenery and taking in some of the best riding in Colorado, all while having a bit of competition to see how you measure up against other riders your age (results include overall as well as broken out by age category, gender).
Why should you do it?
The biggest factor for me on this is route. Each one of these days on their own (save the Avon hillclimb) would be a fantastic ride. Additionally, some of these stages I would never ride without a decent sized group based purely on traffic. Having a follow and lead motorcycle (thank you Colorado State Patrol!) ensured we made it from point to point with as little vehicle-drama as possible. So, having the vehicle escort opens up some great riding options that you might otherwise not do. For the racing-inclined folk, this also makes for an awesome training camp substitute.
Questions? Comments? Leave them below!
Stage recap videos from my YouTube channel are in order below. They're a bit rough around the edges as I was editing them each day after finishing.

R. J. Berry writes as a professional biologist and as a Christian believer. He contends that the interplay of science and faith requires continual re-examination in the light of scientific developments, with the consequent need to review religious assumptions. To quote from his Preface: "Where science and faith meet, they must be congruent; if they are not, both the science and the religion ought to be examined. Religion cannot drive the content of science, nor can science properly determine the nature of religion."R. J. Berry's treatment differs from traditional work in science and religion in that he intentionally and explicitly extends his exploration of the implications of religious faith for contemporary science to environmental conservation, or 'Creation care'. Professor Berry's expertise in this area is considerable - as an ecologist who has long been involved in developing environmental ethics both locally and internationally. He argues that the contribution of religious belief to environmental science is highly important, not only in theoretical terms but also in practice.This book does not assume extensive, specialised background knowledge. It will be of immense interest to anyone concerned with environmental problems, scientists and religious believers exploring contemporary applications of religious faith.

Obama the Unseemly. The focus on how "cool" he is misses how classless he is.
Strutting and fretting in an insane world.
Sunday, April 29, 2012
Jonah Goldberg lays the basic theme of his new book, "The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas". Some examples:
[From Obama's inaugural address, "the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works."
'Diversity is strength'
'Violence never solved anything'
'The living Constitution'
'Social Darwinism'
'Better 10 guilty men go free . . .'Most conservatives have noticed this inability of liberals to give reasoned arguments for their views. Rather, they tend to repeat "facts" whether they are real or not and whether they prove general principles or not. Often they just sound good or as if they ought to be true, but don't bear close examination. One particular one is that the law requires mercy, that fairness means sharing. These go bad to childhood. We call on fairness on both sides of an issue. If an older sibling gathers more candy on Halloween, it's not fair, we say, not to share with a younger brother or sister. But when you're the older one, it doesn't seem fair to be forced to give up part of the fruits of your efforts. So which is it? Since religion extols atonement and commands us to forgive, we begin to think that religious values are justice, but we fail to understand that this is only true if we assume that God has exercised mercy upon us. Jesus' parable of the debtor whose debt is forgiven by the ruler, and then has a fellow servant sent to jail for a debt owed to himself, illustrates this point. Having received mercy, we are in ethically required to show mercy to others, but that is no justification for a society in which crime goes unpunished. Issues of government, foreign policy, etc. turn on careful balance of logical consideration and research, and shouldn't be reduced to mere cliches.

Business Model Innovation
The Business Issue
- Based on recent researches at INSEAD and HBS, 60% of the profits is generated by new products/services with a significant component of business model innovation, even if they only represent less than 10% of new launches
- In an increasingly competitive environment, companies are struggling to design and implement new business models that can significantly enhance their positioning and profitability
- Business Model Innovation requires a different process, methods, skills, risk attitude and financing mechanism than traditional routine innovation. In fact, only fraction of incumbent companies has systematized Business Model Innovation in their innovation portfolio
The Management Idea
- At ECSI we leverage our proprietary portfolio of frameworks and tools to help clients in developing new business models able to capture more value in evolving ecosystems
- We use a Discovery Driven Economic Model based on dynamic assumptions of markets, revenues, and costs that are iteratively tested and fine-tuned or pivoted through rapid experimentation, until the model is ready for full scale-up
The Results
- A portfolio of business model innovations for the next 3-5 years

I know I haven't done a blog in some time. One of my resolutions this year is to try and blog more often!
Well, here we are in another year. 2014! The first few years of any small business is the hardest and requires the most patient. Daren and I have been fortunate enough to have such a great customer base and we have fun with what we do which makes a big difference. We can't thank all of our customers enough for the past two years being successful.
We have some exciting things happening this year for us. First of all, we will be bringing in new products to the store. We pride ourselves in trying to offer products that cannot be found just anywhere and that make your bbq experience so much easier. Now that we have been in business almost two years we feel we know better what our customers are looking for and need. We will phase some products out and bring some new ones in.
Daren and I have also discussed doing more demos and offering more samples during the summer season. Our traffic during our first two seasons didn't necessarily warrant our being able to offer this but now we feel this summer we will be able to explore more sampling during the weekend. This means demo'ing our grills and/or smokers as well which will be exciting for us.
We look forward to this new year's challenges and successes as we enter into it. We also look forward to seeing our regular customer base as well as making new friends in the store this year!

Introducing JEB Extensions¶
JEB offers a rich API that can be used to develop:
- Front-end clients, such as:
- The official UI client
- Headless clients for automation pipelines
- Plugins (aka back-end modules):
- Processor plugins such as disassemblers, decompilers, debuggers, or any other type of analyzer
- Many processor plugins fall in the category of parsers and are sometimes referred as such
- Engines plugins such as second-pass code analyzers, working on results produced by other plugins, or helpers
- Processor plugins such as disassemblers, decompilers, debuggers, or any other type of analyzer
- Scripts:
- Python scripts for automating simple tasks
- Python scripts that can interact with graphical clients that implement the UI-API (the UI client does)
Note: the Developing with JEB area of this guide is superseding our Developer Portal. This is a work-in-progress as old pages are being ported over, and new contents is being added.
Only professional licenses offer full API access. However, all licenses allow script execution from within the UI client:
|Licenses Type
|UI client
|Other Clients (incl. command-line)
|UI scripts
|UI scripts + plugins
|scripts + plugins
High-level Architecture¶
Grasping the high-level concepts of how pieces fit together within JEB will make you a more efficient extensions developer.
At the highest-level, JEB is separated into back-end and front-end components:
- The back-end components are responsible for processing input artifacts. They provide an execution environment for native and third-party plugins, including input artifact processor plugins, such as file parsers.
- The front-end components are responsible for processing input commands and rendering back-end results. A variety of front-ends may be created using the API exposed by the back-end.
Note: As said earlier, all JEB distributions ship with the UI client front-end that runs on all major desktop operating systems.
The diagram below shows the relationship between back-end and front-end components:
Depending on their license type, users may be able to develop third-party plugins and instruct the back-end to load them. This enables power users to craft input processors that cater to their specific needs (eg, a disassembler for an exotic or virtual CPU).
You may verify your API usage capabilities by starting JEB with the
-c --license command line flag.
The JEB Application Programming Interface offers power-users ways to:
- write clients such as command-line processors (headless)
- write extensions, from simple scripts in Python to advanced analysis modules in Java
The JEB API reference documentation is available online as well as offline, within your JEB software package (file
A exhaustive discussion of the API components is outside the scope of this guide.
Scripts vs Plugins¶
- Scripts...
- Implement
- Are called by users to achieve small tasks
- Example: modify some code, navigate somewhere, display some info, etc.
- Have to to be written in Python (and are run within a Jython VM)
- Ideal for rapid development and prototyping
- Are executed by JEB on-demand
- In UI client, can be executed via the File menu
- Implement
- Plugins...
- Implement
IUnitIdentifierfor processor plugins,
IEnginesPluginfor engines plugins)
- Are designed to process input (for processor plugins) or do other tasks (for engines plugins)
- Example: disassemble or decompile code, do complex file parsing, etc.
- Must be written in Java
- Ideal for complex, large code bases
- Are loaded by JEB at start-up time
- List of loaded plugins can be seen in the File menu
- Implement
Future: we may allow plugins to be written in Python soon, stay tuned!
Executing Scripts¶
Note: All versions of JEB can execute client scripts inside the UI client.
Scripts should be dropped in your
scripts/ directory (or any other directory specified in your
.ScriptsFolder client option).
Use the File, Script, Run Script... menu command to execute a script. The last run script can be executed again by pressing the F2 key.
- Client scripts are written in Python, and are executed within a Jython (a Java implementation of the Python VM)
- You will need to drop a copy of the Jython JAR runtime in your JEB
scripts/in order to execute scripts
- Scripts, like any extension, use the JEB API. Visit the reference documentation for details.
- Client scripts executed inside the UI client also have access to the UI-API (package
com.pnfsoftware.jeb.client.ui). Classes of the UI-API allow graphical manipulation of views, fragments, items, etc. (This sub-API is accessible only to clients that implement it; the UI client does.)
You will find a large collection of sample scripts on our public Github repository.
Executing Engines Plugins¶
All third-party plugins must be dropped in your
coreplugins/ directory (or any other directory specified in your
.PluginsFolder back-end option). Use the File, Engines, Execute, ... menu command to execute an engines plugin.
Note: technically speaking, engines plugins are JEB plugins that implement the IEnginesPlugin interface.
The full list of engines plugins loaded within your JEB instance context can be seen by running the File, Engines, Plugins command. (You may double-click a plugin to execute it.)
A collection of open-source plugins can be found on our public Github repository.

They are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture and art. Jeepneys were originally made from U.S. military jeeps left over from World War II. After visiting Philippines for a month I was greatly inspired to paint one of those!

Project Location
Ontario, CA
Case Study: Mercedes-Benz of Ontario
For its client Fletcher Jones, one of the most successful luxury auto dealers in the United States, Gensler used its multidisciplinary design approach to integrate branding and architecture into a memorable customer experience in Ontario, California.
The glass display case continues indoors. In the 100,000-square-foot Ontario dealership, Gensler senior associate Deeg Snyder encloses its double-height lobby from adjacent spaces without losing any daylight, views or functionality. An operable NanaWall SL45 Aluminum Framed Folding System provides a sense of openness, while presenting the latest cars in a museum-like setting.
Ease of Inventory Rotation
"Car access to a showroom space is always a challenge, and there are few products which can provide a 9- to 12-foot clear width and still match the interior storefront design of the rest of the project as to not stand out," says Snyder. "This product doesn't have the deflection or sag of many of the other products on the market," he says of the NanaWall.
The sleekly detailed glass-and-aluminum partition was ideal for the application, says Snyder. "The design aesthetic doesn't compete or make itself a star, allowing the architecture and product to be the true focus in the space," he explains.
Commercial Grade Swing Doors
Alternative glass-wall products seemed to be inferior solutions, Snyder adds. "In addition to aesthetics, there is a general programmatic need to have a swing door in the configuration for exiting as well as the clear panels for the car access," he explains. "This is a feature not found in many other products on the market." Just as important, the rigors of daily life at a bustling retail facility with 58 service bays and dozens of sales offices demanded a robust, durable partition like the NanaWall SL45. "When given the choice of multi-leaf partition systems, there really are few products with proven track record to sustain the day-to-day use of an automotive retail environment," says Snyder. "The product we choose is NanaWall."

Greta Snider
Professor Snider is an experimental filmmaker. Her earlier work on 16mm includes a collection of audio and visual experiences that combines photography, found footage, and her own experiences of the San Francisco punk scene in the early 1990s. Her work includes experiments with simultaneous soundtracks (Blood Story, 1990), engaging personal accounts of a scraped-together journey with friends (Portland, 1996), and an audio travelogue of the San Francisco punk scene. Professor Snider's more recent work includes, in collaboration with Johunna Grayson, a series of slide show projections comprised of hand-processed photographs and stereoscopic images. The series is described as an update on the 'campy Viewmaster format', riffing on the concept of the travelogue to present the unseen and underground aspects. Subjects range from forgotten aspects of the everyday ("old man bars", flowers, parts of the body) to the extreme (a Viewmaster series of atomic test blasts). Snider's films explore the importance of small memories, retrieving pieces of ephemera from the underground and re-presenting them on screen.

Tropical Paradise Beach Day Windows. Just look at this beautiful coastal scene! Wonderfully-puffy clouds with varying color shades and tints parade on a spectacularly blue sky. Natural rocks dot the horizon which spills into a warm, healing sea. How tranquil it would be just to float in this magical sea-green gem of an ocean. Near the shore, a wave has just tumbled onto the toasty sand, creating an enchanting foam pattern as it travels along, reaching your toes as if to say, "Come on, what are you waiting for?" Photographed in Bermuda near Horseshoe Bay.

Spaghetti Zucchini Pie
Posted by jessica in Dylan Report, Recipe on February 13, 2011
Yet another recipe from No Whine With Dinner – I'm on a roll, what can I say. Actually what happened was we'd originally planned on leftovers tonight, but then I couldn't schedule the groceries to be delivered tomorrow morning like I wanted (note to self, just reserve the damn timeslot already) so I had to push everything for next week over one day, and then yesterday I was flipping through the book looking for the chicken stew for last night and I saw this recipe and was like "dude, I already have most of these things!" so I decided to add in another meal this week instead of trying to stretch the leftovers an extra day.
- As with everything, I messed with the proportions and made a few other changes, so what's below doesn't match what's in the book, should anyone be inspired to buy it based on my cooking. (Ok, in the grand scheme of things I didn't change all that much. I doubled the zucchini, made my own pasta sauce, used fresh basil instead of dried. And probably upped the cheese, though I couldn't say by how much since I didn't measure it.) Read the rest of this entry »
Tuna Noodle Casserole

Ironically, my last post on this dish was almost exactly two years ago. Click for the recipe:
Do not be tempted to gussy up this stuff with anything fancy or homemade – this is strictly a too-tired-and-broke-need-comfort-food kind of dinner. And it makes great leftovers.
(No pictures tonight on account of I forgot to take any. But this is one of Dylan's favorite meals, and he even eats the vegetables.)

A formation mechanism of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide (CeO2), a versatile nanomaterial, has been unveiled by scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. The research results were published in the scientific journal Chemistry – A European Journal. This finding potentially simplifies and alleviates the existing synthetic processes of nanocrystalline CeO2 production.
Nanocrystalline CeO2 particles are widely used, for example, in catalysts for hazardous gas treatment, in electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells, in polishing materials for advanced integrated circuits, in sunscreen cosmetics, and in such medical applications as artificial superoxide dismutase. Current industrial syntheses of nanocrystalline CeO2 are based on sol-gel processes followed by thermal treatment and/or the addition of accelerant reagents. Any further improvement of the synthetic strategy for CeO2 nanocrystals requires a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in their formation at the atomic scale.
Dr. Atsushi Ikeda-Ohno from the University of New South Wales, Australia, together with Dr. Christoph Hennig from the HZDR opted for a sophisticated multi-spectroscopic approach that combines dynamic light scattering and synchrotron-based X-ray techniques. These complex investigations involved the use of two world-leading synchrotron facilities of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, and SPring-8 in Hyogo, Japan.
