Shae smith: find out more about...
Shae had so much to tell us about her work that we wanted to share it with you!
Some of the first things Shae learned to program
First you learn object-oriented programming, and you learn that by doing things. Then it gets you into those baseline things. You build calculators and all this other little stuff. And then you do some games with it, like solitaire.
Then you'll do the more theoretical stuff, like build data structures. And once you get advanced enough you get to do some of the fun thesis-level stuff where you get to do graphics. I did computer visualization, which is really cool.
I did a research assistantship with my adviser who was doing this audio installation that was based on probabilities. Depending on where you were, it played a sound, and depending on where another person was in in the room, it harmonized with you. When multiple people are in the room it just played all these harmonies. So that was a really cool one that I did over the summer.
the cool stuff really doesn't come until you get into work and you start building apps and stuff.
The programming languages Shae uses
I started out as a front-end developer, which means anything that you can see and interact with as a user is something that I would build. And that was all in JavaScript and HTML, CSS. And then the back end stuff is in PHP. Right now I code PHP, which is a pretty standard Web application programming language. The big ones are Ruby on Rails and PHP. There's Drupal, which is a content management system our site is built on.
What to get into is really up to you and what type of work you want to do. If you want to do mobile apps you'd probably learn Objective-C, which is how you build Apple apps. If you want to build Android apps you'd learn Java. It really depends on what type of work you want to do. But the cool stuff really doesn't come until you get into work and you start building apps and stuff.
How Shae breaks down big problems into little pieces
There's this balancing act. So one thing we follow at DoSomething, and most tech organizations do is, is called Agile project management system. And Agile is based on this theory of prioritization. The idea is that you have a problem, you break it up into its smallest pieces, and then you prioritize those pieces. And the prioritization part is usually where you get a lot of tension like, who's the stakeholder here?
The developers want to prioritize a certain thing, because we know this will make the app the best and will mean that there's be less technical debt and stuff that we'll have to fix later. And then you'll have like the stakeholders if there's like a sponsor involved or somebody with money attached, or like the campaign team might have a different set of priorities.
We have to balance, "Hey, that thing that you want is going to take us a week, you know, and so we're going to have to do it this way, which will only take us two days. And then you're going to have to wait, you know, to get to that problem." So there's a lot of that team management of expectations and priorities. That is crucial in the work that we do. We have to make sure that we're doing the highest priority work and we're also doing it at the best quality. And a lot of that means some things have to take a little bit longer.
What Agile programming is really about is iteration. What's the lowest level of a project you can do? And then let's iterate it on top of that. We do this thing called minimal viable product, MVP. And that is: what is the smallest thing we can do and complete that will get this to a place that we want it? And then from there let's iterate on top of that, and iterate, and iterate, and iterate, and build it up to what we want it to be.
What I'm working on right now is a brand-new application that will support the DoSomething ecosystem. It's actually going to be a huge project. We just broke it down to like the simplest thing that would start us on the problem. That's what I'm building now, and it's going to take me like two weeks to build maybe. As opposed to being like, here's this huge problem, let's spend three months on it before we even know if it's going to be worth it.
Read our interview with Shae and check out her reading picks.
After an intro computer science class in high school, Shae Smith fell in love with programming. After graduating from Smith with a computer science degree, she "hopped around" to several jobs before landing at DoSomething.org. Today, she works to make their platform better and is involved with several organizations supporting youth in New York City.

From fridges of national supermarkets to those in tiny village dairies, the easily recognisable Coke bottle has become a veritable part of the Kiwi landscape (unfortunately, sometimes in the form of litter on the floor).
Looking at the ubiquity of the brand today, it seems that the early copywriters who in 1927 chose the slogan 'Around the corner from everywhere' were perhaps gifted with clairvoyance, because this statement would over the decades stretch and become relevant well beyond the US market in which they were writing.
Although the Coca-Cola brand was first founded in 1886, it wasn't until 1915 when the contour bottle that now typifies the brand was patented and introduced to the market.
Upon deciding to redesign its earlier, plainer bottles, the Trustees of the Coca-Cola Bottling Association offered the then-substantial sum of $500 to an agency that could design a "bottle so distinct that you would recognise if by feel in the dark or lying broken on the ground."
The Root Glass Company—which consisted of C.J and William Root, Alexander Samuelson, Earl Dean and Clyde Edwards—eventually developed the winning design by emulating the elongated shape and distinct ribs of the cocoa bean.
"Design is really about solving a problem—it has to have a commercial output," says James Somerville, the vice president of Design at The Coca-Cola Company. "And in this case, Coca-Cola delivered a unique design that nobody could match."
Sommerville says that good design is meant to start conversations and nudge people into having opinions on matter—and this is exactly what the original design of the Coca Cola bottle did. When it arrived, its uniqueness immediately stood out, and Sommerville concedes that some customers probably took a little longer to warm up to a design that could easily have been described as strange.
"It's human to avoid change. We're creatures of pattern. But we need extreme thinkers to challenge us. And when the new bottle was released, it quite possibly was a scary moment [for the company], but this is always the case with disruption."
It wasn't until 1939, when Coca-Cola opened its first bottling operation in New Zealand, that Kiwis were able to get their hands on the bottle on a regular basis.
The arrival of the brand in Aoeteroa coincided with World War II, and in its early days the company produced Coke for US troops on leave while fighting in the Pacific—and an early ad titled 'Have a coke = Kia Ora' gives a nod to these early relations between the Pacific people and the soldiers.
Later, the local advertising moved away from war and took on a more sunny disposition. The tradition of the good-looking smiling people that are still seen in Coke ads today started in print, with ads showing everyone from tennis players to office workers being excessively happy while glugging away on bottle of the drink.
'Stop for a lift', 'When you pause … Coca-Cola really refreshes' and 'Let Coca-Cola put you at your sparkling best' are just some of the older branding phrases that preceded the more recent examples like 'Enjoy Coca-Cola' and 'Share a Coke'.
And given that Coca-Cola still occupies large sections of shelf space at stores across the country, we're likely to see a few more slogans added to this growing canon in years to come.
Coca-Cola has now released an international campaign called Mash Up, which was developed through an extensive collaborative process involving a plethora of international creatives.
"We approached creative minds from around the world and asked them to recreate iconic Coca-Cola artwork from the last 100 years," says Sommerville. "We wanted to celebrate our past while simultaneously writing our future through design. The final selected pieces of artwork both surprised and delighted us with their diversity and authenticity."
Playing out to reworked version of Wham's 'Wake me up before you go go', the new TVC brings the Mash Up images to life through a vibrant animation. In addition, the multi-million-dollar campaign also includes new point-of-sale material; digital media, including homepage takeovers and 3D displays; and a high-profile OOH including a pop-art installation at Britomart as well as special out-of-home ads made from PET bottles.
The pop-art gallery will be on show at Britomart from 23 August, and it will link to the Coke.co.nz where consumers will be able to access additional information on the creation of the various designs.

We began our search for a show potential Rhodesian Ridgeback after we moved to the Texas Hill Country. Up to that point, our ridgebacks had always come from a friend of the family, a South African, who, as a former Olympic swimmer, had been coached by my Grandfather in South Africa and later raised his family in Texas. My eyes and heart kept being drawn to the European ridgebacks. I started studying a line and followed it out to a German breeder, Anke van Wyk, (Heshima Ya Kimba Rhodesian Ridgebacks) who had married a South African ridgeback breeder (Arno van Wyk, Karoskloof Rhodesian Ridgebacks) and moved her kennel to Port Elizabeth South Africa. I just missed her last litter, so remained on her waiting list for a year and a half until her next litter.
We were able to get pick puppy, a beautiful dark little girl, Heshima ya Kimba Fisela-fika, "Selah". Selah wasn't crazy about the show ring, but she did well, missing just a couple of points on her championship. We didn't breed her until she was five, and she whelped three beautiful litters. One with Saber, Usakose Double-edged Sword, and two with Zeke, Rich-Rach Zik the African Legend.
Selah's loves were: squeaky toys, puppies, children, toy breeds that look like puppies, being a mom and FOOD. A shameless food hound ~ no shame in grabbing anything off the counter or out of a child's hand.
Her dislikes: rain, baths, having her nails trimmed, dog shows, or bossy dogs.
Selah's puppy picture is on our logo, taken by her breeder, who is also an accomplished photographer.
As I studied Selah's pedigree and the dogs, behind her, I found a few blank spots. Scotty Stewart (Rhodesian Ridgeback International Foundation) was a great help in filling in the missing pieces as well as telling me about the dogs in Selah's history. As I followed her relatives, I've gained a great deal of respect for Selah's breeder and the skill and care she put into developing her line.
Our Shadow is Selah's granddaughter, and shares most of Selah's loves, particularly squeaky toys. We are so grateful to have her back from Karolina Arevelo in Nicaragua.

The Question Concerning Technology
The Question Concerning Technology
"To read Heidegger is to set out on an adventure. The essays in this volume--intriguing, challenging, and often baffling to the reader--call him always to abandon all superficial scanning and to enter wholeheartedly into the serious pursuit of thinking....
"Heidegger is not a 'primitive' or a 'romanitic.' He is not one who seeks escape from the burdens and responsibilities of contemporary life into serenity, either through the re-creating of some idyllic past or through the exalting of some simple experience. Finally, Heidegger is not a foe of technology and science. He neither disdains nor rejects them as though they were only destructive of human life." —William Lovitt, from the Introduction
Micah says: "The most important essay ever written on the nature of technology."

So many people get this wrong that I thought I would do an article on the best way how to clean a pocket watch. If you own an Elgin pocket watch then by looking after it, you can add real value to it. It only takes a short time every month to help preserve and increase its value.
In the perfect world, and if you can afford it, then take your watch to a professional and get it done properly.
If you are unsure what to do then this should always be the recommended course of action. Doing it yourself will of course save you money. However if you get it wrong, then it could cost you money in the long term, and you sure don't want that.
You should expect to pay anything between $100-250 for a proper clean and maintenance.
A professional should be able to do this in an hour, providing they don't have to replace any jewels etc. If they do, they should contact you as that will cost quite a bit more. For me it just depends on the value of the watch. It will also depend if you can afford the luxury of having a professional looking after your watch.
How To Clean A Pocket Watch – Basic Cleaning
Any manual watch should of course be wound up once a day but not too tightly. Never over wind a watch especially an antique watch as that will cause it damage. Wipe the case with a lint free cloth and do the same on the glass to remove any finger prints.
There is no need to apply any type of cleaning fluid for this process. A little bit of elbow grease is all that is required. All of this takes only a few minutes each day and is well worth doing. It also just happens to be free.
Advanced Cleaning
Unless you know what you are doing then take it to a professional. If you are confident you can do this yourself or if it is not valuable enough to warrant the charge,s then you can do this yourself. For more advanced cleaning and depending on your experience it could take around 1-2 hours to get this done.
If you have an owner's manual then somewhere inside this it will give you instructions. These will include how to care for the watch. Always follow these rules to the letter. Don't whatever you do, start taking the thing apart and trusting that you can re-build it.
I have rescued and saved many watches which have been taken apart by well meaning DIY amateurs. If you have not got a manual or the right tools then you will need them or go to a professional.
I probably should emphasise that if you have an Elgin watch that has a good value then only ever go to someone who knows Elgin well. I do my own cleaning and minor repairs, but I would never work on anyone else's watch. If I mess up my own I can live with that. However causing a problem with a watch belonging to someone else would be a nightmare.
How To Clean A Pocket Watch – The Tools
You do need certain tools and equipment to do this right. Now of course it will cost you some initial money. I guess it depends how often you are going to use them, and also on the collection size and value of your watches. I would recommend that you do an advanced cleaning and oiling at least annually.
Some say two years but that is too big a gap for me. I have around 40 Elgin watches now and I do one every week so having the right tools is essential for me. The video below is pretty decent so worth a quick look.
Here is a list of some of the main tools and equipment I use regularly when I clean my pocket watches:
- Handling Gloves
- Desktop magnifier with light
- Eye Glass
- Chain Link Pin Remover
- Spring Bar and Lug Remover
- Steel Pliers and Ben Nosed Pliers
- Pump Duster
- Pin Tong
- Clock Hand Removers
- Jewellers Tool Kit
- Various cleaning brushes
- Oil Cup With Pins
- Ultrasonic Cleaner
Those are the basics anyway and I have added bits and pieces over the years. As you can see, it can actually turn into a bit of a hobby if it is something that genuinely interests you.
I will conclude this article by saying that if you don't know what you are doing then get a professional to do it. I hope this article on how to clean a pocket watch properly has helped you out.

Shows how to convert text or graphics into a mouse-sensitive tooltip with HTML and jQuery.
- [Voiceover] Hi, This is Chris Converse and this is a course on adding a jQuery-based tooltip to your website. I want to start by first showing the final project of what we are going to be creating. So, I am going to open the index.html file up in a browser. So, when we roll over certain links inside of this document, you will see that we have a tooltip that fades in, when I scroll away it fades out, when it's onscreen it also follows the mouse. And another interesting aspect is we actually position the tooltip right and left. So, notice if I am on the left-hand side of the screen, the position of the tooltip in on the right.
And, if I roll over a tooltip that's on the right-hand side, we position it in toward the left. We're also going to be creating two types of tooltips, one that just have simple text and one that have HTML formatted content and graphics, like the one we are seeing here, and we are even going to detect for the height of the browser. So tooltips that are near the top of the screen, we'll position the tooltip underneath of the cursor, versus tooltips that will position themselves above the cursor. So to illustrate how we are going to do this, I want to bring up a sketch. So what we are going to be doing here is having HTML triggers on our page, and when our cursor rolls over one of the triggers, we are going to take a div, add content into it and then attach the div near the mouse, so as the mouse moves around, the tooltip will move around and then when we roll outside of the trigger, we are going to have the tooltip fade away.
And we're going to be writing this in such a way that the content for the tooltips is going to be in the HTML and on the trigger. So you can have as many tooltips on a page as you want. So, I hope this course sounds interesting to you, and if so, let's get started.
- Saving web graphics from Photoshop
- Creating the tooltip container
- Adding the jQuery $(document).ready() and mouse events
- Detecting and setting HTML-based tooltips
- Attaching the tip container to the mouse
- Setting the tooltip to fade in and out
- Accounting for other CSS-positioned elements

Reviewing the Detroit Lions at their bye:
Record: 1-3
Four-game capsule: The Lions opened the season with a signature fourth-quarter comeback to defeat the St. Louis Rams, but have fallen short in three subsequent attempts. Their offense has been neutered by a simple but effective deep-zone defense, their defense ranks No. 29 in the NFL with three takeaways and their special teams have been atrocious. The Lions are the first team in NFL history to allow a kickoff and punt return for touchdowns in consecutive games.
MVP: The Lions' bye arrived a bit early for such designations, and it's hard to look past receiver Calvin Johnson, who ranks third in the NFL in receiving yards (423) and fourth in catches (29). That's a pace for 1,692 receiving yards over 16 games. But if you're interested in an outside-the-box observation: Linebacker DeAndre Levy might be having his best NFL season. He was particularly effective in Week 2 against San Francisco, recording 10 solo tackles, and has quietly made impact plays throughout the first quarter of the season. Pro Football Focus has charted him with 14 "stops," which constitute a play that causes an offensive failure. That ranks 10th among NFL 4-3 outside linebackers. He has also done a nice job limiting yardage after receptions where he appeared to be the primary man in coverage. Opponents are averaging 7.5 yards per catch against him, according to PFF, the fifth-best mark among 4-3 outside linebackers.
Biggest surprise: It makes perfect sense for opponents to employ a deep zone defense, rather than man-to-man, against Johnson and the rest of the Lions' passing game. It's more difficult to accept that the Lions haven't found an antidote or alternative. Can the NFL's most prolific passing attack of 2011 really be that vulnerable? Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan is a smart man and will figure it out. But through four games, according to Linehan, opponents have used traditional man-to-man on only five of 296 snaps. The approach has revealed two issues that must be corrected. First, the Lions' running game is way behind the curve. Whether it's due to poor blocking or substandard talent in the backfield, there is no way the Lions should be averaging 3.6 yards per carry against deep zones. Second, their red-zone offense hasn't had a counter for teams that blanket Johnson, leading to an NFL-high 13 field goal attempts by Jason Hanson. Johnson has only been targeted twice in the end zone in four games after getting an average of more than one per game in 2011.
Stat to note: Quarterback Matthew Stafford has completed only 16.7 percent (two of 12) of passes that traveled at least 21 yards past the line of scrimmage. Neither completion was a touchdown. Last season, Stafford threw nine touchdowns on such passes and completed 42.7 percent of them (27 of 64) overall. That's the best illustration I have of their diminished downfield production.
Looking ahead: In eight of the past 12 seasons, at least one team with a 1-3 or worse record through four games has made the playoffs. But the odds are against the Lions overcoming this early hole and making the playoffs. Over that stretch, the ratio has been about one in every seven teams (14.7 percent) with a similar record making the playoffs.

As the New Year approaches we at Agility3 are looking forward to some very exciting projects for next year, particularly around Virtual Reality (VR), having completed several demos and projects over the last six months. These include…
Tube Train Passenger/Driver VR Experience
An immersive train station experience where users can navigate station platforms, on to and off trains, move within and between carriages and even experience driving a train. This type of experience would be extremely beneficial for enhancing passenger experience, driver training or even train station redevelopment. Take a look at some footage here.
Hazard Perception VR Driving Simulation
A driver training aid that requires users to react to various hazards presented to them as they drive around a residential environment. Statistics are captured and provided on their performance. Take a look at some footage here.
Interactive Building VR Walkthrough
VR experiences to help stakeholders understand how a new building or space may look and function once constructed. This can reduce project risk, increase stakeholder engagement and result in better overall design. Interactive features within the experience can enable users to customise the environment and compare or contrast different options.
If you would like to find out more about our VR capabilities, try any of the experiences mentioned or discuss a potential project please do get in touch on 01438 488066 or firstname.lastname@example.com
We look forward to hearing from you in 2018.

It's been a productive week. Recovery wise, I am doing super well! I stopped wearing anything covering my scar. If people think the back of my head looks weird, they can deal with it. It's better for my scar to get air so that is what I am doing. (Take that whole foods lady!) I've stopped taking my prescription pain killers too! I'm down to just a few Advil a day which means I can drive and have wine again.
Stitches Update
They are gone! On Thursday, Dr W said they were ready to come out. Given that this is the first time I have ever had surgery and stitches, having them removed was rather nerve wracking. Dr W did a fantastic job. My mom held my hand and watched Dr W remove the stitches. It took about a minute for him to get them out. Joel had to sit in a chair on the other side of the room at the request of the Doctor. (This is what happens when you pass out on him) Having the stitches removed was a funky feeling. It kinda hurt but it wasn't terrible. I also took a super pain killer about 45 minutes prior to the appointment; I'm a planner, what can I say.
I've got my walk back! I can stand up straight and basically walk like a normal person! Though, I still can't turn my head very well. Joel said on the way to Hopkins on Thursday, I reminded him of Bernie in Weekend at Bernie's. When I turn, I have to rotate from the waist, it is rather "interesting". Dr W gave me some exercises so I can start getting more motion back. Now, I just have to do them.
More from Dr W
Dr W said I am doing fantastic job on getting well. We started talking about a back to work date and have a timeframe in mind. I am not going to jinx myself by saying what that date is yet. He likes how my scar looks and said it is healing beautifully! I don't have to see him in-person again for 6 weeks! This will be the longest I have gone since November without seeing a Neurologist. I'll take it.
Mom's Visit
Today is mom's last day in DC :-( She is heading back home in the morning. I was hoping recovery would take a bit longer and I would get her for a full month, but I am doing great so I guess this is a good thing. This is the longest mom and I have been together since I was in High School. It has been great having her here. I haven't had to worry about anything. Now that I am almost fully mobile, it is time for her to head back home to Indiana.
The Next Tests
I've been trying to come up with things to do over the next month as I start feeling like getting out more. Basically, I want to push myself but not over do it. I've signed up for a knitting class that meets once a week for three weeks. This will be challenging because A- I have no domestic skills (ask Joel) B- I have to do something I am not familiar with and C- I am going to try to walk there. The class starts on Wednesday evening and I hope I can do it! I tried to teach myself how to knit, but I can't figure out how to get a second row.
I'm allowed to only walk 'till the 21st and after that I am allowed to try other forms of exercise! I'm thinking of trying running to see how it feels. If it doesn't hurt, I am going to try to get back to being able to run at least a 5K. If it does hurt, I will give it a few more weeks to heal and try again.
So other than my mom leaving, it has been a great week! I can't believe surgery happened almost two weeks ago.

Day 2 - Last Words: Sandra Bland
"How did switching lanes with no signal turn into all of this?" - Sandra Bland, 1987-2015
The afternoon of July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland was stopped by officer Brian Encinia on University Drive in Prairie View, TX for failure to signal a lane change. After illegally asking Bland to put out her cigarette, which she refused, and ordering her to exit the car, Encinia pointed a taser at Bland and shouted, "I will light you up! Get out, now!" Bland was arrested and taken to Waller County Jail. Police stated that at 6:30a.m. on July 13, Bland refused breakfast and at 9:07a.m. a jailer discovered her hanging in her cell.
An autopsy conducted by the Harris County Institute for Forensic Science classified Bland's death as a suicide. In July 2016 the Houston Chronicle reported that, according to the lawyer for Sandra Bland's mother, a former Waller County Jail guard said under oath that he falsified entries on the jail log, indicating he checked on Bland in the hour before she was found dead when he did not. A grand jury decided not to indict anyone associated with Bland's death at Waller County Jail. The arresting officer was placed on administrative leave for failure to follow proper traffic stop procedures, and he was later dismissed following indictment for perjury.
In September 2016 Waller County agreed to pay $1.9 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the relatives of Sandra Bland. Her last known words are taken from a voicemail recording left for a friend on July 11, 2015 shortly after her initial court appearance.
Sources: New York Times, Houston Chronicle
To the FBI of 1963, a black body without shame was considered a threat to the state - "Security Matter - C." We could say the same for Sandra Bland in 2015. When she refused to extinguish her cigarette, which she was not legally obligated to do, the officer threatened to "light her up." A black woman without shame, who knows her rights, who will not acquiesce to reckless white power, is considered a threat to the state that must be identified, intimidated, documented, and imprisoned.

I have been very busy the last two weeks. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I went to my 20th high school reunion. (SIC) I saw a lot of old classmates. It was nice. I am happy to make some old contacts! My family came over for brunch the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Saturday I went into Boston and took some pictures. Here is a couple of my favorites.
The custom house picture above is something that I took back in July 2006 and wanted to retake the same image. I am happy with the results. (It took me forever to find the exact spot I took the original.)
That afternoon, we went to the local shelter to get my daughter Carin use to the idea of getting a doggie. Carin is scared of dogs b/c when she was little, a small dog jumped up on her and licked her all over her face. (She loved dogs until that point.) Needless to say, we did not purchase a dog, put we purchased a cat. He is black and white.
Carin named him Kevin after one of the signers from the Jonas Brothers. I wanted to name him Scratchy from the Simpson's but no one agreed with me. Kevin is still getting use to the house and us.

Growing up in Minnesota meant family trips to the northern part of the state. Every summer there was a new lodge to visit. Holly's Dad would take them out during the day to try and capture sight of a moose, bear or deer. Their favorite place was the dump where you were sure to spot a bear in the early morning. Those fond memories were the inspiration for this group of woodsy nature prints.

Zurich, Switzerland, October 10, 2013 – Host Volero Zurich started their first FIVB Women's Club World Championship campaign with an impressive 3:1 win (26-24, 25-21, 29-31, 25-21) versus Asian champions Guangdong Evergrande. In front of 2.000 thrilled spectators, Jan de Brandt's team proved too strong for the Chinese.
Best scorer of the match was Volero Zurich's Kenia Carcaces with 28 points. Ting Zhu contributed 25 points for Guangdong Evergrande. The host kept the upper hand in blocking with 14 winners to 7 on China's side. With 6-1 aces, the local players were also the better servers tonight.
In front of 2.000 thrilled fans in Zurich's Saalsporthalle, the local heroines jumped out for a 16-14 lead in the first set. At 18-14, Kenia Carcaces added another winner to Volero's records to force Guangdong Evergrande coach Lang Ping calling her ladies off court. Yunli Xu responded with a remarkable block kill for China to come closer at 17-19. Volero kept momentum until 24-20, but could not conclude. Guangdong saved four set balls before the Swiss finally prevailed. Megan Hodge hammered the Mikasa in the net. The first set featured a hard battle between outside hitters Ting Zhu and Natasa Osmokrovic with 7 points each.
The Chinese still struggled with team cohesion early in the second set. Mainly the incorporation of Megan Hodge caused major problems. Lang Ping sent in Juliann Faucette for Hodge but could not stop the Volero express at that moment of the match. The hosts rushed to a 20-15 lead with Natasa Osmokrovic and Kenia Carcaces on fire. The Chinese blockers did their best to stop the strong Volero hitters but where not good enough. Carcaces ended the second set in Zurich's favour with a well-timed tip in Evergrande's no-women's-land.
Two sets down, the team of Lang Ping needed a quick reaction to keep their hopes for a second win alive. Lang Ping's players kept calm and progressively put more pressure on Volero Zurich's defense. It seemed as Guangdong had gained momentum now. Nevertheless, a 24-21 lead was not enough for Evergrande to conclude. The Swiss bounced back to 24-24 with the set balancing on a knife's edge until 30-29 for China. With their ninth (!) set ball, Ting Zhu found a gap in Volero's block to bring the Chinese back on track.
However, the Chinese comeback did not last for long. The hosts retook command right from the beginning of the fourth and last set. It seemed as Volero's coach Jan de Brandt had found the accurate words for the crucial moment of tonight's duel. The local heroines displayed a remarkable fighting spirit and quickly set the pace for an impressive finish. At 21-24, Martina Giuggi sent the Mikasa long to offer Volero Zurich a well-deserved 3:1 win.

Then, we might as well use > Perl instead :-) Yeah, that's the most obvious form - some kind of regex literal syntax. I was thinking, though, that there might be some sort of extension to the pyc format that lets any module add precompiled data to it; the trouble would then be figuring out how to recognize what ought to get dumped into the pyc. It'd effectively need to be something that gets added to the code like: foo = re.compile('fo+') bar = re.compile('ba+r') re.precompile(foo,bar) That could then pre-populate some kind of cache that gets loaded with the pyc, and then when re.compile() gets a particular string, it looks it up in the cache and finds the precompiled version. Of course, this would quite possibly be more effort than it's worth. Complicating the pyc format in this way needs a lot of justification. ChrisA

Our allergies are caused by an imbalanced microbiota.
During my keto challenge in February, I became fascinated with how our body processes food, fat and everything in between. During my search on the ketogenic diet, I came across a book titled "10% Human: How Your Body's Microbes Hold the Key to Health and Happiness". It was a fascinating read. I have to give props to the writer because she made science writing easy to read given some of the topics were straight up complex Here are some of the takeaways I found reading the book that you may find interesting. I do recommend picking it up from the library especially if you are looking to supplement any health reading material regardless on if you are on keto, whole30 or paleo. If you have an autoimmune disease or are suffering from allergies, this book may help you understand what is happening and figure out ways to experiment and find a cure for yourself. Of course as a disclaimer, I am not a medical professional. Speak with a professional before embarking on such journey, but do keep in mind that it's time that we do start doing our research and experimentation when it comes to the human body. A doctor who was trained many years ago may not be aware of the latest research available given their schedules and time commitments. Our bodies are also very unique to us, down to the microbe level and a doctor will not be able to specifically treat you in a manner that is unique to you. Regardless, I feel that good microbes is needed to live an optimal life and probiotics will be one way to get them.
This post contains affiliate links. See Disclosures for details.
There are a few sessions scheduled to discuss the future of microbes and gut biomes at this year's SXSW. I'm curious what comes out of being able to map the human microbiome and how we can take advantage of it.
Here are the events scheduled on biomes and microbes at SXSW. Would love to get your thoughts if you attended:
The Human Body Is Made of 100 Trillion Microbes
That's right 100 Trillion. Microbes help us fight infection, break down food and keep us from harmful substances. Even microbes determine our ability to extract energy from our food so while it may not be the food or the exercise that is preventing your from losing weight, but the microbes may be determining how efficiently it is processing the food you are eating.
Unfortunately, modern medicine and modern agriculture have damaged our microbiotas. While modern medicine has helped rid us of major diseases like small pox, measles and many others, it has also created new strains of disease. This is the scary part. In the book, Alanna Collen goes through hundreds of research and samples of how this happened. She compares lab research along with longitudinal studies comparing remote populations not exposed to our Western diet and medicine against those that are to see how their microbiotas differ. Here I've pulled some of the main drivers that may be causing us to fall into illness.
A note too that every living thing on the planet evolves to keep their species protected. The flu viruses evolve every year to ensure it lives on and is spread by humans. For us humans though, our evolution is low and gradual, however, we have "reached a point in human history that redesigning and re-routing the human digestive system is the evolution that we need to keep from eating ourselves to death." This is not right.
Vaccines and Antibiotics
Vaccines and antibiotics have saved the human population on so many occasions. We have eliminated life threatening diseases and saved populations. The problem that has arisen with antibiotics is that it is a broad spectrum drug. So when our doctor prescribes an antibiotic for whatever illness we come in with, there is no proof that the antibiotic will actually work because doctors don't test generally for any microbial bacteria in our body. This results in good microbes from being killed off from the broad spectrum antibiotics. For a few, killing off these good microbes could result in complete restructure of the inner workings of the microbes in our body. A lot of research has linked the use antibiotics to autism, obesity, asthma and so many other auto immune diseases. Whole correlation is not necessarily causation, there is a hint that since the time antibiotics were introduced post World War 2, this started the rise of all of these personal auto immune diseases in which the body over reacts to potential bad microbes in an extreme way.
The standard American diet has also benefited from antibiotics. At one point, antibiotics were used as growth promoters to speed up the growth of animals. The faster the animal grew, the faster it could reach our dinner tables. The consequence is that this antibiotics just doesn't stop at the animal, it ends up in us. Antibiotics are easily transferred via fatty tissues of animals and as we all know, the standard American diet (SAD) diet is rich in fat. This is not good fat. This is antibiotic rich fat. Additionally, while animals are ingesting antibiotics, their excretions are also ending up as manure for our vegetables so regardless of whether we are a vegetarian or a full omnivore; we are commonly ingesting antibiotics into our system. Couple this with regular antibiotics from normal hospital visits and our bodies are drugged up at the onset of our lives.
This is a fascinating fact that the rise of Caesarean has increased the amount of autoimmune diseases throughout the world. The correlation is there though not definitive. Amazingly, apparently when a baby is in the water sac inside the mother's womb, it is a germ free being. It is that way until the water breaks that the baby gets exposed to germs. Vaginal births were preferred because during the birthing process, the baby natural faces towards the vagina so that it can get some bacteria from the vagina. This bacteria (lactobacillus) travels to the stomach to help the baby to digest milk (lactose). So believe it or not, we are not born to digest milk, we have help from our environment. For many other mammals, the microbes from the mother also changes as the baby grows so that it gets passed down to the baby to help the baby grow and face their environment. This completely blew my mind. Of course, I had to look this up. Apparently for babies born from Caesarean, because the baby is taken from their germ free environment, their first contact is the hands of the doctors and nurses. To help promote the right microbial growth, babies can be swapped with the mother's vagina microbes. You could find the science paper here and some writeup on the NYTimes, and NPR, ScienceNews.
Triclosan and Antibacterial
For many years now, we've also been marketed that we need to be using antibacterial constantly to reduce our exposure to bacteria, but similarly, this has also made us more susceptible to new strains of bacteria, weakened our immune system and opened doors for more unwanted chemicals. The use of triclosan was a prevalent chemical found in antibacterial products. Studies have linked to a range of health and environment effects including hormone disruptions, bacterial resistance, water contamination. As of September 2016, the FDA finally banned triclosan from antibacterial hand soaps confirming. This is a great step in the right direction, but it seems may be a bit late for some who've relied on antibacterial soaps for all of these years.
So What Can We Do About It
In the book, Collen suggested a few ways we can restore the microbiotas in our bodies.
Eat fiber-rich foods in the form of vegetables. This seems to be the common ground across most of the research on how to eat healthier. Vegetables are key and should make up the majority of one's diet. When eating meat, select meats that are antibiotic and hormone free. This may be opting for the more expensive organic option, but as long as this is in moderation, it should not be too costly.
Eat natural probiotics found in yogurt, kefir, fermented vegetables. The key is to make sure that when you do take your probiotics that it has not been degraded by sugar and other chemicals. A lot of probiotic yogurts are sugar filled which reduces its effectiveness. Look for good microbial bacteria in probiotics.
Reduce antibiotics exposure. If you come down with something and the doctor recommends an antibiotic, question your doctor. Ask if there are ways you can help your immune system fight the bacteria infection instead. Ask if monitoring it for a few more days for your body to naturally fight it will be OK. Antibiotics are not the one and only solution. Your body is a powerful force, provide it the means to fight for you.
Get a little dirty. Let your kids be exposed to a good range of bacteria (within means of course). Don't be too quick with the wipes. Our bodies have to learn to adapt and fight.
After reading this book, I've decided to take a probiotic with a few good bacterial strains. Time will tell how my body will react to this, but I want to help my body fight the food fight. Growing up in the Philippines, I don't remember getting sick as often and I did not grow up with allergies, but my sister who was born here has allergies every spring and I am now very curious about how our exposure to antibiotics may have affected that.
My Plan
I have chosen Renew Life's Flor Extra Care Probiotic after much research and back and forth. My plan will then be to take this for 30 days, stay on the ketogenic as much as possible and monitor my progress. I hope to provide an update by next month.
Update: I moved towards intaking VSL #3 because it's the one that they do the most clinical trials with. I take one every few weeks or so when I'm feeling under the weather or my stomach is acting up. Moderating my consumption and eating more plant-rich has helped a lot. I'm now also experimenting with fermented vegetables. You can get VSL #3 at Costco for around $55 and it won't come with the unnecessary cooler and packaging waste. It does not need to be refrigerated so get it last on your Costco trip.

The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2016 returns to bring Japanese culture ideals to the UK and the theme this year is IKIRU: The Highs and Lows of Life in Japanese Cinema.
Spanning from 5 February to 26 March 2016 travelling around the country with some great cinematic releases to make you stop and think. Most importantly they have addressed the high demand of anime requests and are showing two this year.
Anthem of the Heart
We follow Jun Naruse a young girl who believes her words have caused unmeasurable trouble. She is one day visited by a mysterious 'Egg Fairy' who casts a spell on her preventing her from speaking, stopping her from conveying her emotions. When she enters high-school, Jun is asked to join a musical – a group which turns out to be an unexpected mix of students all suffering from emotional trauma just like Jun. Through the key themes of friendship and music can will Jun be able to find her voice again?
A charming story from the creators behind the smash hit movie, Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. The creative team of director Tatsuyuki Nagai, scriptwriter Mari Okada and character designer Masayoshi Tanaka return with a completely original animated film which was a huge hit upon its domestic theatrical release in late 2015, touching many hearts across Japan.
Miss Hokusai
A animation from the Keiichi Hara who, who's film Colors Japan Foundation screened previously. (Watch the interview with Keiichi Hara here.) Set in early Edo period, this animation brings to life the story of O-Ei, the daughter of the ukiyo-e master, Katsushika Hokusai (globally famous for his piece The Great Wave).
Based on the original manga Sarusuberi by Hinako Sugiura, an adaptation which Hara, a huge fan of the series, called 'a dream come true,' the film brings Sugiura's comic and worldview to the big screen, creating a wonderfully detailed recreation of Edo life through combining hand-drawn 2-D with 3-D techniques. The film scooped three awards at the 2015 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, including the Satoshi Kon Award for best animated feature film.
Starting at the prestigious ICA London from 5th February - 11th February

The Home Office have sent back a deeply disappointing response to our Freedom of Information request about the Intercept Modernisation Programme. The response reveals almost nothing about alleged proposals to build a giant database of the communications traffic data of all UK citizens, even though the Home Office admit the need for an informed public debate on the scheme.
Last August, and following reports of a radical new surveillance plan afoot at the Home Office, ORG submitted a Freedom of Information request in a bid to shed some light on the Intercept Modernisation Programme (IMP).
Back then, the fear was that the Communications Data Bill - slated to appear in last week's Queen's speech - would be designed to give legislative cover for a project to centralise data about the communications activity of every UK citizen into a giant database, and bring that database under the authority of a government agency.
After delays from the Home Office, we're now in receipt of a substantial response to the request [.pdf], and two released documents (see below).
In their response, the Home Office accept the value there would be in disclosing details of the scheme:
"The issues surrounding IMP are of significant public interest. There is a large amount of speculation about the options which may be under consideration with little firm information in the public domain. Increased openness with regard to what options the programme is considering and with whom discussion have or have not been held would increase understanding and transparency in this area and inform the public debate."
Unfortunately they find that, despite this, they are exempted by provisions in the Freedom of Information Act from telling us almost anything about the IMP. This outcome was predictable enough. What we failed to predict when we made the request, however, was the range of grounds upon which the Home Office would refuse it.
The request for details of meetings between the Home Office and communications service providers to discuss the IMP was refused on grounds that it related to:
Looks like ORG scored the FOI equivalent a hat trick. Other parts of the request were denied on grounds that meeting it would exceed the £600 limit. In some parts, the Home Office also refused to answer the request on the grounds that they had no idea what we were talking about. For example:
"In your e-mail you ask for the agenda and minutes of all meetings of the Intelligence and Security Liaison Group (and prior and subsequent re-naming of this entity). I regret to inform you that the Home Office is not aware of the existence of this group or of a similarly named group; or indeed of previously titled entity of that name. As such the Home Office does not hold the information you request, but if you could provide us with more specific details this may help us to identify the group that you are referring to."
This part of the response is especially interesting in light of the fact that one of the two documents they did release (both agendas of meetings of the Government Industry Forum, held in 2006 and 2007) details a speaker from the "Intelligence and Security Liaison Unit". The intuitive and categorical differences between a "Unit" and a "Group" are clearly only obvious to career civil servants. We now realise we should have asked for a group that reported to that unit, and will be amending any future FOI requests accordingly. Another example:
"Your other enquiries appear to relate to the Interception Modernisation Programme (IMP) and in responding to this request I am assuming that you are again referring to the IMP when you ask for the draft or other plans for the technical architecture of the system.
"There are a multitude of systems employed in this Programme; unfortunately I am therefore unable to answer this request without further clarity as to which 'system' you refer to."
We'll be working out how best to respond to this over the coming weeks. In the meantime, here's the full text of the response, as well as the two documents that were released following our request (2006 Agenda - page 1 | page 2; 2007 Agenda - page 1 | page 2).
Although the Communications Data Bill was removed from last week's Queen's Speech, and Jacqui Smith has promised a public consultation on the scheme in the New Year, we feel there's still a value in finding out how far the Home Office have thought through these plans already, who they're talking to, and who among expert stakeholders are privately raising concerns. Watch this space.

text: My approach to photography might be a little different from the usual. I don't get any excitement from taking just beautiful and perfect photos. I want to make it clear, that I am striving to capture the reality. So, if I take your photos, I want to do more then just pose you. I use movement as a great tool to take photos that bring out YOU as a couple. That's what makes me most excited about photography. Moments, where I see YOU, not just a subject that I can pose. Cliche but true.

Lone Flag Brand Video/
I feel like I am presenting a baby to you today. I'm so excited and eager to tell you all about what I have been doing since I wrote about my big epiphany a couple of months ago when I worked on the desert rendezvous project (go back to read it here). Basically, I have been venturing into art direction and original content creation for brands. This is something that I plan to elaborate on in another blog post this week, but essentially, I have combined my worlds of styling and social media marketing to cultivate brand awareness through artful communication (i.e. well-styled, original content creation) for stylish brands. So, my dear friend Alejandra Vidal of Imaginale Design and I teamed up again to create a brand film for Lone Flag as part of a brand boost experience (motion and original content creation). Lone Flag is a curated retail concept and community space in Del Mar, CA dedicated to premium brands with a focus on American made goods and denim. We were so excited to get to help bring such a cool concept to life. So, without further delay, please enjoy our little film...

Ascension Properties Limited, founded in August 2006, is a black managed and substantially black owned property loan stock company listed on the JSE. The company is a property income fund focusing on commercial office buildings in South Africa with a strong focus towards government and other empowerment sensitive tenants.
Ascension is a Broad Based BEE Level 2 company.
The fund converted to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) in line with the new REIT legislation in June 2013.
The company's capital structure consists of A and B Linked Units. Each Unit consists of one share and one debenture. The A-Linked Units have first right to the net distributable income of the fund with distribution of 38 cents per unit for the 12 months to 30 June 2013, growing at 5% per annum for the first five years with growth thereafter at the lower of inflation or 5%. The B-Linked Units receive the residual net income of the portfolio, with a higher anticipated growth in distributions compared to the A-Linked Units.
Ascension is currently forecasting a 5% growth in the A Linked Unit and a 20% growth in the B-Linked Unit distribution to the 2014 financial year.
High Growth Strategy
Ascensions primary objective is to grow the quality and sustainability of income through rental escalations, increasing rentals, building re-tenanting and more efficient utilisation of space. The company may, from time to time, redevelop properties to enhance value and support longer-term income and capital growth. In this regard the board have resolved to limit property redevelopments to a maximum of 10% of the portfolio at any given point in time
Ascension is well positioned for growth
- By taking advantage of its track record and BEE profile to secure additional long term leases with Government and other quality tenants
- By renovating and developing certain of its properties to secure further anchor tenants, improve yields and space utilisation
- Management has a strong pipeline of targeted acquisitions and intends to confirm to grow the portfolio by at least R1 billion per annum
Ascension is a Broad Based BEE Status Level 2 company.

Under questioning from Costopoulos, Contino said the commission found that several politicians in the state have violated ethics laws over several years but were not charged criminally. (Tribune-Review, 7/20/10)
"Anybody who violated the law is going to get it." - Deputy Attorney General Frank Fina (Patriot-News, 8/3/08
8 comments:
Just wondering how many of the Harrisburg elected elite went to the Super Bowl? Rumor is that many went, including some highly paid Republican staffers too - wonder how they got the tickets. So much for reform and trying to live like the "regular" people in the state.

Ex-Hershey official claims charity wrongdoing
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A former official involved with the multibillion-dollar charitable trust that controls the Hershey candy company is claiming in a court filing that board members used the trust's considerable assets to pad their bank accounts and treat themselves to luxury hotel stays, limousine rides and free golf.
That official, Robert Reese, was fired Thursday by the Hershey Trust Co., the bank that manages the charity's money.
Reese, a former top executive at the Hershey Co. candy company for 25 years, is the grandson of the man who started Reese's candy, which Hershey's bought in the 1960s.
Most recently, Reese had served as a board member and the trust's president.
Reese's allegations come four months after the state attorney general's office said it was investigating transactions by the Hershey Trust, although the office has not specified which transactions.
Reese detailed his accusations of misuse of power in a document he filed Tuesday in Dauphin County Orphans Court.
In a separate filing Thursday, he named 12 current and former Hershey Trust board members, including chairman LeRoy S. Zimmerman, a former attorney general of Pennsylvania and a longtime friend of newly elected Gov. Tom Corbett, who was the attorney general last fall when the office revealed its investigation.
Zimmerman did not immediately return a message left at his Harrisburg law office Thursday evening.

More former Orie staffers say they did political work on state time
Two more former staffers of state Sen. Jane Orie this morning told the jury hearing her corruption trial that they did campaign work on state time.
Now if this one Republican Senator was doing wrong, where are the investigations of other Senators as Frank Fina claimed.
CasblancaPA is right on this Topic and the Republicans are now past cover up mode until the Feds will have to step in, the problem is with all Staffers, they are turning on their Task Masters.
- February 11, 2011 at 3:49 PM
Fina works for an agency that covers up corruption, according to a Republican Senior Deputy Attorney General. Now that Corbett is gone, Frank should do the right thing and investigate his old boss.....Follow your conscience, Frank! Do the right thing!

hey, if you are going to cite sources for the statements you publish, you should make sure that statement actually exists in the citation. What's with the Trib link? Editorialize much?

Our apologies; the story we cited has been updated since we posted the link. The link now goes to the appropriate citation.
- February 13, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Frank Fina will be up for some Prosecutor's Misconduct when this is all over.
They smile now and panic later especially whne US Supreme Court becomes involves in seeking true justice, not political gain using the courts.
The Republicans will start falling apart with the Prezel and Zimmerman, and Hershey investigations.

GOP's dinner not political? Orie judge raises eyebrow
Friday, February 18, 2011
By James O'Toole, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
While much of that testimony echoed statements from earlier witnesses, one intriguing note emerged as Ms. Rasmussen testified that sometime in 2008, fearing that her state computer system had been hacked,
Ms. Orie asked the state attorney general's office to examine her computers. There was not immediate testimony on what may have emerged from that review.

The Best SEO Uses Content Marketing
Pete Semple
Content Marketing and SEO
What's the difference, how do they work together?
When it comes to content and SEO, SEO is the framework and content fills in the body.
A good SEO campaign uses pre-planned content to meet the goals of the shopper, the company and the SEO campaign.
A good SEO strategy will:
- Look at how your buyers search (keywords)
- Think about the questions buyers and shoppers will have as they research solutions (the consumer journey or purchase funnel)
- Include blog posts, articles, guest posts or social media that address these questions using the words and questions searchers have.
What Is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is talked about like it's one strategy, but creating and sharing content is really part of several online marketing strategies.
For example, you need content in order to:
- Share on Social Media
- Blog on your site
- Post as a guest blogger
- Curate other people's content
- Post articles online
- Create a new web page
- As landing page content to increase your AdWords Quality Score
Content also educates your prospective customers as they search for information through the Consumer Journey or Purchase Funnel – as they go from looking for a solution, to comparing specific brands and options. Therefore, strategic content has to cover a broad range of uses.
Content is like gasoline - you can put it in many vehicles depending on where you want to go and the type of ground you want to cover.
How Does Content Work in SEO?
Good SEO uses content in all of the examples above. As you plan your SEO campaign, think about what and how you need to communicate to your audience to lead them from discovery of your service to sale.
Content Calendar – The SEO Version
Planning your content can involve a Content Calendar and you can also tie your SEO to the seasonal or promotional timeframes and events in your content calendar.
It's best to pre-plan for all customer shopping/buying phases and time of year promotions. This way you're laying a blanket of SEO-optimized content that can be discovered by the right person at the right time.
Consumer Journey / Purchase Funnel
As you can see, it's important to think ahead and create content for each steps of the consumer journey.
Generally speaking, people research, shop and buy in a certain order. Sometimes this is called the Purchase Funnel and these are the general steps:
- Initially people might not know your product exists, they might just be looking for a solution to their problem.
- As searchers get educated you'll want to explain why product is superior to your competitors.
- When it comes to making a sale, you might need to have special promotions (often on your website sales page) to push people to buy from you right away.
Your Sales Cycle Content
It's also important to consider your company's needs when creating content. You have your own cycles and sales needs to consider.
Most companies have sales requirements related to one or more of the following:
- Peak season sales
- Off season sales
- Model year closeouts
- Tax time
- End of company fiscal year
- Discontinued/Closeouts
- Holiday related sales
When creating content for an SEO campaign, which will roll out topics month after month, it's best to think ahead and create content to cover all these bases.
As part of a separate Content Marketing campaign, your company might create and release content just in time to address these needs.
However, in SEO you want to cover all bases and have it sitting there for when the right person comes across it at the right time.
SEO Links to On-Site Content
The final part of content and SEO is the fact that your off site content being shared in the SEO campaign will link back (or have "backlinks") to the content on your website.
To use an example from above, if you produce an article talking about your Close Out and Discontinued Inventory options, you'll want the backlink to link to the page of your site
The content, links and web pages you decide to promote are parts of the larger SEO campaign
Parts of SEO That Don't Use Content
There are also parts of a good SEO campaign that don't rely as much on content (though content is often related):
- Keyword selection
- Competitor keywords
- On site keywords
- On site SEO – headlines, title tags, alt tags, elimination of errors and duplicate pages, meta descriptions
- Backlinks / anchor text
But even in the examples above, content plays a part.
For example, SEO is based on getting your site noticed for keywords where you want to be seen by the searcher.
In this case, after you select the keywords content will need to be developed – off site and on-site – to support the keyword a searcher is looking for.
As you can see, good SEO relies on the creation and use of content in a big way.
