Demystifying Git Koans
Steve Losh, whose (lately, rather silent) blog is one of my favourite reads on the Internet), wrote a great piece called Git Koans back in 2013. A lot of my coworkers have recently started using Git, and I often use that to illustrate a lot of what seems frustrating about Git – not just to a newcomer, but also to people who use it regularly. Some of the examples in the post, however, were hard for me to understand initially. So here's my try at making them more understandable.
Note: Like any proper koan – reading the original in its beauty is necessary before reading through a storied explanation, so go read Steve's post first if you haven't already. The headings for each story directly link there as well. If Steve is the Buddhist monk calmly telling a Koan to his students, I am the newcomer coarsely trying to understand the import of what he is saying from the "Ten Things You Should Know about Zen" book.
A Python programmer handed her ~/.gitconfig to Master Git. Among the many lines were the following:
; Explicit is better than implicit. If we want to merge
; we should do so ourselves.
pull = pull --ff-only
Master Git nodded. "git pull origin master," said the programmer. Master Git pulled down the latest changes on master and automatically merged them with the programmer's changes.
"But Master Git, did I not say to only fast-forward in my configuration?!" she cried.
Master Git looked at her, nodded, and said nothing.
"Then why did you not warn me of a problem with my configuration?" she asked.
Master Git replied: "there was no problem."
What does
fast-forward mean? This PDF has a pretty succinct diagram. A fast-forward change is one where, after merging,
master directly points at the most recent commit of the feature branch, rather than 'closing the loop' and creating a merge commit from branch to master.
The main reason for this behaviour is that
git pull is basically shorthand for
git fetch +
git merge. And looking at the
--ff-only documentation for
git merge shows us:
Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the current HEAD is
already up-to-date or the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward.
Refuse to merge unless the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward. This means that if the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward, Git will automatically do so (or, as Master Git said – "There was no problem.")
One Thing Well
A UNIX programmer was working in the cubicle farms. As she saw Master Git traveling down the path, she ran to meet him.
"It is an honor to meet you, Master Git!" she said. "I have been studying the UNIX way of designing programs that each do one thing well. Surely I can learn much from you."
"Surely," replied Master Git.
"How should I change to a different branch?" asked the programmer.
git checkout."
"And how should I create a branch?"
git checkout."
"And how should I update the contents of a single file in my working directory, without involving branches at all?"
git checkout."
After this third answer, the programmer was enlightened.
This is actually one of the things I find confusing about git. I don't quite understand what "update" means in the third case though – running
git checkout on a single file will update its contents to be those the latest
From what I understand of the Git object model, this is a consequence of a branch simply being a pointer to a specific commit, or state of the tree. So when I say
git checkout foo, I am saying something more like "Convert the repository to the state that foo points to". Which commit is this? Let's find out.
{~/sandbox/test}$ git add README.txt
{~/sandbox/test}$ git commit -m "Add README"
[master (root-commit) 39d985c] Add README
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 README.txt
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ git branch test
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ git branch
* master
At this point, if you look at the refs of
master, and
test, they point to the exact same commit object.
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ cat .git/refs/heads/master
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ cat .git/refs/heads/test
Let's add another commit to the
master branch.
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ echo "Not going too well." >> README.txt
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ cat README.txt
Attempt to explain Git Koans
Not going too well.
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ git add README.txt
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ git commit -m "Add new line"
[master 878af2f] Add new line
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
Now, you would expect the ref for master to change, as it does.
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ cat .git/refs/heads/master
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ cat .git/refs/heads/test
{~/sandbox/test} (master)$ git log

Notice that the ref for branch
test still points to the first commit.
Only The Gods
The great historian was trying to unravel the intricacies of an incorrect merge that had happened many months ago. He made a pilgrimage to Master Git to ask for his help.
"Master Git," said the historian, "what is the nature of history?"
"History is immutable. To rewrite it later is to tamper with the very fabric of existence."
The historian nodded, then asked: "Is that why rebasing commits that have been pushed is discouraged?"
"Indeed," said Master Git.
"Splendid!" exclaimed the historian. "I have a historical record of a merge commit with two parents. How can I find out which branch each parent was originally made on?"
"History is ephemeral," replied Master Git, "the knowledge you seek can be answered only by the gods."
The historian hung his head as enlightenment crushed down upon him.
This actually ties neatly into the previous point – the SHA1s of the commits themselves are available, and can be traced back, but who they could be the exact same commit on two different branches, and the merge could have come from either of them.

So, the real lesson here to me anyway seems to be – branches are ephemeral, commits aren't (presumably since commits are a more first-class, fundamental object in Git).
Here concludes the first imperfect reading on these koans.

The Obama administration today announced that it will once again unilaterally amend the statutory provisions of the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) by delaying enforcement until 2016 of the health insurance coverage mandate levied against "medium-sized" companies (politically and arbitrarily defined as employing between 50 and 99 personnel).
This marks the second time in the past year that President Obama has delayed implementation of portions of his hallmark legislation – you remember, the law that is so awesome it required such expediency to implement as to not require the lawmakers actually read it. In fact, this law is so critical to public health, and so benign to the economy – as its proponents repeatedly insisted – that this most recent executive change marks at least its 27th significant alteration since initially passing, some procedurally correct and others not so much. At least 10 of these changes have illegally come from the Obama administration itself.
Where exactly does the constitutional authority exist – in Article II or elsewhere – that grants the Executive Branch a power to unilaterally alter, delay, suspend, abolish, or otherwise ignore statutory provisions of duly passed and signed legislation? The simple answer is nowhere, as the Constitution is quite explicit in this regard: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives" (emphasis added). The chief executive's very existence is predicated on faithful execution of those laws. In point of fact, Mr. Obama himself swore to "faithfully execute the office of President of the United States," its chief duty being this function. I will leave it to the readers to decide if he is a liar or simply "that the way [he] put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate."
Of course, there can be little credible doubt that the timeframe of this most recent delay is largely motivated by electoral politics. Savvy Democrats understand that as businesses began laying off workers, slashing labor hours, and dropping coverage prior to the 2014 mid-terms, in similar fashion as what occurred with self-insured individuals last fall, political heads would have likely rolled in November. The question is, will the electorate recognize this ploy for what it truly is: a temporary reprieve from the painful inevitable; sooner or later this piper must receive his payment.
Whether or not the administration wishes to explicitly acknowledge it, this latest can-kicking is yet another public admission of the act's devastatingly destructive impact on the economy, including real workers and real businesses, even before it is fully and appreciably implemented. I wonder how long this charade can be maintained to prevent political hardship. Ultimately, however, the real economic results are simply not going to change.
UPDATE (6 March 2014): …And the administration's trend of unilaterally delaying/suspending actual execution of the law continues because, well, winning elections is far more important than implementing this purportedly economically and morally crucial law. Remember, this is the law that was so critical to Americans' health and welfare and America's prosperity that it had to be passed immediately in the middle of the night without an open, public debate or indeed anyone actually reading it. Elections talk and we all know what walks…
UPDATE (25 March 2014): …And again.

What Should We Do In Our Bathroom?posted by Andrea | 04/13/2018 | 132 comments
After over 7 years living in our farmhouse, we are FINALLY going to tackle one of the rooms I wanted to renovate many years ago — the bathroom off our kitchen. However, we still aren't 100% sure what we want to do with this space.
So… since you have given us really great renovation ideas in the past, I'm bringing our bathroom quandary to the blog as one last "Hail Mary" effort to see if any of you have a super fantastic idea we haven't thought of yet!

You Can't Want "it" For Someoneposted by Andrea | 04/10/2018 | 36 comments
Today's post is a little heavier than my normal tips, recipes, and cute baby photos — but it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately and I wanted to share.
I hope it gives you something to think about, and maybe the freedom to just step back, let go, and move on (at least for now).

On being an 'Ambassador for Palestine' and an advocate of 'A Just Peace'.
by ray goodlass
My Palestinian Peace Project story was in yesterday's DA, and it was quite positive, even sympathetic, though there was a fairly obvious cut or edit point in the middle where it had clearly been shortended by a sub-editor. However, that it happened at all and in the way it did is the main point.
Today local ABC Radio is interviewing me on the same topic, so I've certainly achieved some useful coverage in my post-peace trip project of being an 'Ambassador for Palestine' and advocate for 'A Just Peace'.

Constructing a Test
If you practice Test-Driven Development (TDD) or Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), you may be familiar with the Arrange, Act, Assert pattern.
The idea is that a single test is organized into three logical sections:
Arrange: Do any setup necessary to get the object under test into the correct state.
Act: Perform some action on the object under test
Assert: Check that the desired results occurred
Here's an example from the Minitest codebase (comments added by me):
Lately, I've noticed a pattern in my test writing that I find interesting. I often write a test like the one above in the following way:
- I ask myself, "What am I testing? What action or behavior do I want to exercise?" This leads me to write the Act part of the test.
- I ask myself, "What should be true after the action?". This leads me to write the Assert part of the test.
Sometimes, I'll reverse these two steps and write the Assert part first, then the Act part.
- I then work on the Arrange part of the test. I'll look at the
Act and Assert parts for anything that is unknown. In the example
above, my internal dialogue runs something like this: "OK, I'm sending
test, where
testis …", and then I flesh out what
- I repeat the process recursively until I have everything I need to run
the test. So, now I say, "… where
test_classis … and where
test_omgis …":
- Finally, I ask myself if there is any other setup or peripheral
information that needs to be included. In this case, the test name
includes something about
teardown_good, and nothing in my test says anything about that. That leads me to add the final line:
I find that this thought process is working fairly well for me, and one of the keys seems to be the magic word I highlighted above: where. When I write the Act and Assert parts of the test, I feel like I'm writing nice, clear, communicative code. I then successively elaborate it by defining my terms.
The odd part is that I'm elaborating up in the code, adding the elaborations above the code that uses them. This is pretty normal in many programming languages: you need to define things before you use them.
But when I started using the word where, it reminded me about functional languages, such as Haskell. I haven't done much with functional languages, but here's a quick example from a Haskell tutorial:
Notice how we can write the code we want first, then elaborate it
below using a
where clause.

Microsoft unveiled the HoloLens at its latest //build/ developers conference. Needless to say, it is quite impressive. The demonstration made the audience aware of what the HoloLens is capable of, but Microsoft has kept the lid shut on the hardware details. During the presentation, Microsoft offered a few insights into what lies beneath the casing of this augmented reality futuristic headset.
We have seen Virtual Reality headsets from Oculus(Facebook), Valve, LG, etc., but unlike most, Microsoft is using a see through lense to allow the user to see the rest of a room or the environment that they are in. This allows the user and the HoloLens to interacting with your surrounding environment, very similar to the way Google's Glass is setup. The HoloLens uses a combination of spatial sound and sensors in the headset to capture information about the environment that the user is in. What is Spatial sound? Spatial sound works by using binaural audio, to make sounds appear like they're being transmitted from behind you or from anywhere in the environment you're situated in. Very like Google Glass, there is a video camera placed in the HoloLens headset to enable you to take photos or capture video.
Microsoft has used a variety of sensors in the HoloLens. There is a microphone array that captures voice commands, a depth sensor with Microsoft has developed into the headset to spatially map the environment and to understand hand gestures such as the air tap feature to click, drag and drop, and navigation. You will also find that there's an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer that all combine with head tracking cameras to process and understand how a head is moving. Even with all of these sensors, chips, lenses etc, the weight all adds up to a headset that is said to weigh a lot less than the average laptop.
It's amazing what one can fit in such a small yet powerful device, the HoloLens includes a CPU and GPU, just like you would find in a laptop or PC. "But that wasn't enough to handle all the processing required to understand our world, so we had to go beyond the traditional CPU and GPU," explained Todd Holmdahl, head of Microsoft's next generation devices team. Microsoft had to create its very own holographic processing unit (HPU) which acts as a third processor to process where you're looking, hand gestures, and the spatial map around you in real-time. It's a custom processor designed specifically for HoloLens.
While Microsoft is offering some new details about its HoloLens headset hardware, the company still isn't providing detailed specifications or an explanation of exactly how HoloLens works without any wires or tethering to a phone. Where do I place my order, I'm sold!
The rumour mill has been put into overdrive and the promise of the Microsoft HoloLens technology may be attractive to Samsung, if this new rumor is correct. As Chinese whispers state, Samsung wants to enter into a partnership with Microsoft to develop the HoloLens, specifically for the healthcare industry. This report comes from The Korea Times, via an unnamed official at Samsung, who is quoted as saying:
"Samsung has been looking for opportunities to manufacture innovative, pioneering products. Hololens is a key technology for healthcare and medical devices."
I advise to take this rumour with a large pinch of salt as Samsung is already partnering with Oculus to develop its Gear VR virtual reality headset that works with some of its smartphones. The report also points out that Samsung has more experience than Microsoft in developing its own sensor chips and processors, and a team-up with Microsoft could lead to a VR standard based on the HoloLens.

Yeah team! Happy Dances all around!
The older I get, the less I know, please don't make me prove it.
That SUCH GREAT NEWS John! Such a big milestone.
There should be a merit badge program for such things, like with scouting.
But seriously, thanks for sharing your trials and victories, you've been a real trooper and inspiration.

sorry, but as i'm thinking about signs for the layout, i could not resist:
John, I just wanted to touch base and see how your recovery is going? I hope you are continuing to get better. Thinking about you, buddy.
My mustache has color! The goat is white ...
I got beat up a tad this time and lost some lung function, but I'm still breathing air vs oxygen... My steps are more measured, but no less determined.
The aneurysm is a sleeping dog ...
Thanks for asking.
The older I get, the less I know, please don't make me prove it.
That's great news John. As long as the knees keep working you will remain dangerous.

John, glad to see that the medical therapy is working.... Continued success....
Your attitude of not quitting, plus keeping a sense of humor, is largely what caused your success. Never surrender!
I've seen too many patients just quit when they received the diagnosis. You didn't, you won.
Not only does my mind wander, sometimes it walks off completely.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved. Will Rogers.

the Amazing Race continues
Originally written on September 6, 2004
Buenas noches from Barcelona!!!
I´ve got a chance to use the Internet again, and decided to give you another update on our travelling adventures! Two thirds of our vacation are gone, and neither my sister nor I feel like coming home.
Time spent in Andalucia was very nice and very hot. Thank God for the air conditioning in our hostel room, otherwise we would melt over night. It was nice to wonder through the cities over there, and the mix of Moorish and European architecture was amazing. You have to see the pictures!!!
The tomb of Christopher Columbus was marvelous, and I only wish I got a chance to visit the royal tomb of the Catholic Monarchs. Churches and royal chambers are sites that I never miss out because they usually display splendour, wealth and power that one had possessed. Nevertheless, I didn't see the tomb of the Catholic Monarchs because of siesta.
» Siesta
The afternoon rest is really necessary, especially in hot regions of Spain. It's usually from 2-5pm, and during that time everything is closed. I wouldn't mind working in retail in Spain because the working hours are great, 9.30 until 2pm and then from 5-8.30pm. It was surprising, however, that even some bus drivers have fiesta. In Seville we were almost late for our plane because the airport bus did not show up. Apparently, the driver went for the siesta and never came to pick up passengers. Luckily, we shared taxi with other two unfortunate travellers, so the cost wasn't great.
» Palma de Mallorca
It was very nice to go to the Balearic Islands, and dip for a couple of days in the Mediterranean Sea. Each day we went to a different beach. One day we found a secluded sandy beach, surrounded by pine trees, with crystal clear, azur water. It was the best beach I've ever been to, and it has replaced the Aegean coast of Greece as my favourite.
Palma is a magnificent city, and in the nighttime, the Gothic structure of buildings along with lighting gives the city a dramatic appearance. It was surprising that most restaurants and bars close around midnight over there, after all Mallorca was supposed to be the second best place after Ibiza for clubbing. Later on, we found out that major parties don't start until Thursday and then they continue till Sunday. Our timing was not great, but at least we went out once.
Tito's was the name of the club we went to – it was wicked although my sister was not in the mood. Something had gotten into her that night. Nevertheless, the theme of the night was tribe, and all staff was dressed as cavemen/women.
» Language
I have to say a couple of words about language. Not many Spaniards speak English, and that could cause troubles. S.'s Spanish has improved, and she can fluently say "two tickets for …" in Spanish. lol… That's all we've needed after all. One girl stopped me in the metro station this morning to ask for a direction in broken English and said at the end, "thank God you are foreigners. Nobody speaks English here". Her statement summarizes it all.
When we came to Palma, the least we heard was Spanish. On the west end of the bay where Palma is located, Britons vacation while on the east coast Germans could be found. Germans have chosen better beaches, but both areas
do not reflect Spain at all. Right next to Prince William nightclub, one can order fish and chips while in Arenal, where Germans are, German music is blasting from bars, and bratwurst is served everywhere. I honestly don't see a point of vacationing abroad if one doesn't experience local culture.
» Barcelona
Getting to Barcelona was an interesting experience to say the least. At 7am there were so many people in front of the security checkpoint that no queues existed. It simply looked like mob was trying to go through small passages. There was no organization whatsoever, and took us forever to get to our airplane. We had to run through the terminal to our gate … To make the story short, our airplane waited for us. Had we came several minutes later, we would missed the flight. Spaniards are not very good when it comes to organization. They should learn a thing or two from British, especially when it comes to queuing.
The flight, itself, was rocky as we experienced some serious turbulence. I had never been afraid of flying up to that point. I'm not a fan of rollercoaster, so going up and down in an airplane was not fun.
We arrived yesterday morning to Barcelona, and so far I've seen about half of the city. In my honest opinion, the city seems to be overrated, and cannot stand up to Madrid in nearly anything but the beach. That's the only thing Madrid misses. Barcelona is full of foreigners, while Madrid did have tourists but most of them were Spaniards from other regions. Comparing these two cities is like comparing vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Everyone has their own preference, mine is of course Madrid.
At the end, I have to say that up to now our accommodation has been good. I'm very glad that my intuition worked out well for us.
That would be all for now. This is a longer email than I intended it to be. Summer thunderstorm is about to start over here, and it's nearly 1am. These are going to be first drops of rain I've seen in two weeks.
I hope everyone in North America had a good Labour Day weekend, and enjoyed the last days of summer.
In a week, my trip shall be ending although I wish to stay longer. I have, however, promised myself to come back to Spain, and I'm certain the promise will be fullfilled soon.

It's amazing how heavy the nostalgia becomes when the oldest child leaves home. This week I stumbled upon our family history of Christmas cards. Still looking for 2004 and 2006 (we missed 2002 and 2009).
Merry Christmas.

I like to call this our honest family picture. Grumpy baby. Fed up toddler. Happy big kids. And the crazy part- I had just found out that we were (unexpectedly) expecting another baby. 4 weeks pregnant.

Jodhpur [Rajasthan] [India], Apr. 6 (ANI): A decision on the bail appeal filed by Bollywood actor Salman Khan in Jodhpur Sessions Court will be announced on Friday, his counsel said.

Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in prison and other accused - Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre and Neelam - were acquitted in the case filed in October 1998.
Meanwhile, the actor's Counsel Mahesh Bora said he got threatening SMSes and calls against appearing in the bail hearing scheduled for Friday.
"Yesterday (Thursday), I got threatening SMSes and internet calls warning me not to appear for Salman Khan in the bail hearing today (Friday)," Bora said.
A Jodhpur court had on Thursday held the actor guilty of killing two blackbucks in Kankani village near Jodhpur on October 1-2 night in 1998.(ANI)

My Tailwind must be a liberal. There are nine gauges in the instrument panel and every one is a different brand. How's that for diversity?
Red arrow: Generic auto parts store oil temperature gauge held in place with zip ties
Yellow arrow: Japanese brand oil pressure gauge
Green arrow: No-name fuel gauge that isn't hooked up
Blue arrow: 1960's Piper or Cessna amp meter held in place with an adel clamp
Purple arrow: Duct tape to secure the glove box
I have decided to update several of the gauges with some Bosch automotive parts as follows…
SP0F000051 – Electrical Voltmeter – $21
SP0F000052 – Mechanical Oil Pressure – $23
SP0F000053 – Oil Temperature – $23
SP0F000059 – Ammeter – $14
The first three part numbers can be purchased as a single kit which is part number SP0F000054 for $50 which is about $17 less than buying them all individually.
The oil temperature and pressure gauges will be going in the red and yellow arrow locations. I used Solidworks to design some backing plates to secure them to the panel, then had them lasered out of some 16 gauge aluminum.
There's no more room in the panel for gauges so I used Solidworks to make a dual-gauge bezel mount and it will go in the blue arrow area.
This is what the finished setup looks like. I might end up moving the dual gauge bezel a couple inches to the right so that it's perfectly centered to the panel. The reason is because the tip of the pilot's control stick makes contact with it, but only under full down elevator with a fair amount of right aileron. I can't imagine a scenario in which I would be applying enough forward stick to make contact with the bezel. I'm not sure what the FARs state in this aspect. I know for a fact that I've never applied full forward or backward elevator in flight. I don't think I've ever applied full left or right aileron in flight. The Tailwind's flight controls are very light. They do not need much input because they're incredibly responsive.

"My pager's beeped."
"No! Not today." Anika turned to face him, the toddler's fat ankles caught in her left hand. "Pass the wipes?" The room was airless, her body too heavy for kneeling, and the baby inside her kicked in protest. "Can't someone else?"
"I've checked; they need negotiators."
"Please, not you. The baby's low — I'm scared it'll be today."
"I have to; they need me."
She finished the nappy change and stood her son on his feet. "What is it?"
"A guy threatening to harm his child." Her husband juggled his keys. "Could your Mum help?"
"Yes." Anika touched his arm. "My family's here, you go and help. Be safe."

Seventeen More Universities Around the World Join Coursera
Coursera, one of the massive online open courses pioneers,, has announced a major expansion. This week the company introduced 17 new partners that will begin offering courses through the Coursera platform, including Berklee College of Music, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Brown University and Ohio State University. The newly joining schools will be offering classes in subject areas that have infrequently been taught online — like music — and will further test the potential of the internet to deliver education to students all over the world.
In less than six months since its founding, Coursera has already managed to attract nearly 1.35 million students to its various course offerings. With the new schools joining the stable, the number of classes offered on the company's platform will grow to more than 200.
Founded by two Stanford computer science professors, Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, who took a leave to start Coursera, the company has yet to lay out a plan for generating revenue. At this point, Coursera is relying on $22 million in financing, including $3.7 million from the California Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania. Though Coursera and its partners incur costs for producing the courses, no money changes hands between the parties.
Initially, academic support came mainly from the the company's cradle, Stanford, as well as Princeton and University of Pennsylvania. From the start, however, Coursera's footprint on higher education was much bigger than its small number of startup partners would suggest. According to Forbes, what made the company truly revolutionary is the spotlight it shone on the potential of online education at college and university level. After its launch, writes Susan Adams, presidents from even the most prestigious universities felt more pressure to invest or at least investigate the possibilities of the internet as an instructional paradigm.
The pressure is only expected to increase now that the company can count as its partners schools like Columbia and Brown which have proven more reluctant than most in entering the online education marketplace.
"You're known by your partners and this is the College of Cardinals," E. Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State and one of the new Coursera partners, told The New York Times. Ohio State is offering two classes from its College of Pharmacy. Gee added that he is worried about giving away instruction when there are no plans to take in revenue. "That does keep me up at night," he told the Times. "We're doing this in the hope and expectation that we'll be able to build a financial model, but I don't know what it is."
One of the things that make MOOCs appealing to potential students is that they theoretically provide top-level education for free. This has caused many to question what benefits participating schools are deriving from them. According to Adams, the simplest answer is "marketing." Schools are putting their best foot forward with MOOCs in having the materials designed and classes taught by their best professors. One could hardly ask for better advertisement opportunity than tens of thousands of eager potential students who regularly sign up for online courses.
A recent report by Moody's Investors Service predicts that MOOCs aren't as far from paying for themselves as many believe. Mainly, monetization could come from issuing academic certificates. Some have already taken steps in that direction by contracting with outside testing firms to proctor course completion exams for a small fee.

OK, I think I'm pretty straight-forward about my lukewarm feelings for color challenges, in general. I've been getting some mileage about how I know they're "good for me," and that they "help me stretch," but it's still a tough sell. Not so for this week's Paper Craft Crew Challenge #28! I LOVE LOVE LOVE purple and green together! Like BIG TIME! Yay! Since I love this combo so much, I decided to play the sketch pretty straight - I think this is the most literal interpretation of a card sketch I have ever done...

text: I think that I did pretty good with my creation stories but one of the things that I think I could work on would be my time management. I did like the rainbow serpent but it didn't seem realistic at all. I really don't think that a big snake type thing would go around eating people and turning them into trees, bird and animals. the Genesis story was really good though, as a catholic is the story that I believe most. I do believe that god created the world along with everything on it. I do think that I did well with my project but there were a few areas that could be improved.


text: blog Joining the WINDPOWER Green Team Naomi Stringfield Marketing Manager Share Published: May 15, 2018 Wind and Solar Energy Sustainability The American Wind Energy Association's annual conference and expo, WINDPOWER, gives a big boost each year to the renewable energy industry. As part of its commitment to sustainability, AWEA is now encouraging exhibitors to make their exhibition practices more "green." And Vaisala enthusiastically joined the Exhibitor's Green Team this year. Here are a few of the fun and sustainable things we did as part of the Green Team: Used less paper! Boxes of literature were replaced with a small tablet where participants could — and did — read about Vaisala's bankable wind energy due diligence services (8 page brochure), industry views on remote sensing for the wind industry (48 page book), and the latest breakthroughs in measuring wind in complex terrain (16 page whitepaper) Used less plastic! Typically, after a trade show booth is built, the rug is covered in plastic sheeting. In the morning, it's removed and thrown away. Only then, the rug is vacuumed. By skipping the plastic, we were able to stay within Green Team guidelines and also save time in booth set-up. Used mass transit! AWEA made it easy for us to stay out of cars by providing shuttles to and from the convention center, and we took it a step farther by making sure our team knew how to access the Chicago Transit Authority system. Powered down - and we don't mean we took naps in the booth! Our required "power down" plan consisted of a Post-It note that said "Turn off all 5 power strips before leaving" — a pretty simple thing to do, but easy to forget in the thick of meetings and booth traffic. Didn't bring S.W.A.G.! Anyone hoping to walk away from our booth with a beer koozie or a keychain was disappointed. We weren't alone, either — we saw a lot of other exhibitors jumping on the "no swag" train. (We still brought chocolate for our booth visitors, of course — you can't go to an exhibit without chocolate, after all). Some additional benefits of being in the Green Team were: Besides replacing literature, our tablet featured one of our favorite videos (showing how a wind developer is bringing clean energy to northern Finland) and highlighted a new, free Climate Reference Tool which shows you, for a given month, year, or quarter, whether the winds were higher than average or lower than average. Participants enjoyed "browsing" through the kiosk a lot more than they would have liked a literature rack. Although some of the measures made the booth design process take a little longer, plenty of them ended up saving us money (like no plastic sheeting on the carpet) and time (the requirement to re-use booth graphics from last year saved us a lot of time in re-designing). We were included in the AWEA attendee scavenger hunt, where we got one of the greatest photo ops ever with the next generation of wind industry leaders! The biggest benefit, of course, was being part of AWEA's Green Team. AWEA's Elesha Peterson-Carr and Wade Barton made the Green Team work look easy, but in fact, it wasn't so easy - once you've picked the low-hanging fruit, you have to climb up high. We're pleased to support AWEA's ongoing sustainability initiatives. Read more about Vaisala's commitment to sustainability.

Taj McWilliams-Franklin scored 16 points and Katie Douglas had 13 as the Connecticut Sun beat the Charlotte Sting, 68-62, Saturday to complete a sweep of the best-of-three Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Can I make a confession? Since I started jogging (actually more like walk-a-jog) last week, I've been constantly hungry. Like ravenous hungry.
After putting exercise off for decades, one day the exercise fairy possessed me and tweaked my brain to believe that I really need to get my ass moving. The whole process of wanting to start was in itself a tedious one. I realised I didn't have any running shorts. Or suitable tops. Or proper shoes. I didn't own socks either. So I had to go out to buy myself some exercise gear. Also the first time in 29.5 years that I owned a sports bra.
The sports bra. Holy mother of god. It deserves a paragraph on its own. I didn't even know what size I was! It's not like normal bras where they imply clearly the girth of your chest and the cup size. And I couldn't possibly march up to the salesman and go "Hey dude, yes you. Can you measure me up?". So I did some research and asked my colleague who's about my size. Trying it on for the first time was a calorie-burning event in itself. Fuck, it was soooo tight, with no zips or hooks and made my boobs look all squashy and man-like. Taking it off was even more horrific. I swear I was panting, perspiring and nearly had to call for help to cut me out of it. Traumatic indeed.
Ok back to where I left off. So after spending a couple of hundreds I was ready. Or so I thought. I was super self concious because I kept hallucinating that people were judging me. Every jogger who passed me, I imagined speech bubbles for them; "Haha look at this fat chick go", "You call that jogging?!", "Better call her an ambulance she's going to pass out any moment" and more. I didn't pass out though I was terribly slow and definitely unfit. I probably walked as much as I attempted to jog but I comfort myself that it's just the beginning and it's good progress for someone who used to consider chasing after buses running.
Also realised that the sports bra though aesthetically unpleasing, served its purpose of holding my boobs in. I remember them bouncing in pain whenever I had mandatory PE lessons in school. Good job, bra. Maybe I will retain me some boobs when I lose weight.
Eventually I hope. So after perspiring buckets, I come home and try to eat less for dinner. But I realise I cannot stop snacking because I don't feel satisfied. All this snacking might actually negate the actual benefits of my new "healthier" lifestyle. Mildly depressing come to think of it.
I tell myself it's still early days and things will get better. I hope they do. I have grand plans of reclaiming my title of Queen of Mini Skirts back from the days when I was younger and more nubile. Ah, memories.

Photo Essay: Athens' Anti-American Graffiti
In October 2003, many Greeks in Athens were angry about the American coalition's actions in Iraq.
They had a geographical and historial concern about the war.
Baghdad is closer to Athens than London is, and the Greek nation has experienced its share of war. Sometimes, those wars came from Western powers.
That being said, the photos here to not neccessarily reflect the opinions of the Greek nation. As one Greek cab driver put it, "those come from the anarchists". This makes sense, as there was Greek versions of Pepsi signs, Matrix movie posters, and other reflections of American culture throughout the city.
Perhaps I will post them as a follow up someday.
"Skata" is the Greek word for feces. I believe the words on the bottom of the sign call Americans "houligans".
This one made me laugh actually, as it's kind of silly.
As I've said, there were plenty of American images in Athens that were not negative, so these photos are not totally reflective of the tone of the city. It is safe to say, however, that the Greeks were very concerned about the war.
Greece is a wonderful country. Sometime I'll have to post some of the images from the countryside, which is absolutely beautiful.
Check out my other photo essay.

We provide NHS trusts with an NHS Improvement approved way to source all of their agency staffing needs through frameworks for both clinical and non-clinical agency staff.
Our primary NHS Improvement approved route for all types of temporary clinical staff is the Multidisciplinary Temporary Healthcare Personnel (RM3711) framework and, for non-clinical roles, the Non-Medical Non-Clinical (RM971) framework. These are supported by a framework for workforce management (staff banks).
There are a number of updates regarding our health workforce frameworks to be aware of:
Non-Medical Non-Clinical Staff
Non-Medical Non-Clinical (NMNC) temporary staffing (RM971) has been extended for 2 years to 30 June 2019. This extension will ensure you continue to have an NHS Improvement compliant route to market for your non-clinical temporary staffing needs. We have been working with closely with some of the NHS procurement hubs to collaborate on the delivery of better value to customers through the use of this framework.
Workforce Management
Workforce Management (RM1072), for the management of outsourced staff banks, has also been extended. It will now run until 14 June 2018, and there is an option to extend for a final year to June 2019. Whether you are looking to set up a new bank, outsource your existing in-house bank or enhance and expand your existing arrangement, we can help you.
Allied Health Professionals, Health Science and Emergency Services Temporary Staff
Allied Health Professionals, Health Science and Emergency Services Temporary Staff (RM959) has been extended until 31 March 2018 to ensure continuity of service.
Locum Doctors and Agency Nurses & Social Care
Locum Doctors (RM1570) will expire on 30 June and Agency Nursing and Social Care (RM970) will expire on 31 July. Trusts with requirements for locum doctors or agency nursing and social care staff should now use the NHS Improvement approved Multidisciplinary Temporary Healthcare Personnel (RM3711), which provides a way to source all your temporary clinical staff needs through a single framework.
Read our case study about how 3 NHS trusts worked together to save £9 million on locum doctors by using the Multidisciplinary Healthcare Personnel framework.
If you have any questions about the frameworks or need advice and support please get in touch

Saba & St. Martin 2013
Saba & St. Martin
March 2013 we spent 7 days on the island of Saba. Saba is a special municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is a five square mile island located at Latitude – 17.38 North ~ Longitude – 63.13 West in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, 28 miles southwest of its international hub the island of St. Maarten.
We had discovered this tiny island when watching one of our favourite TV shows 'Distant Shores'.
Saba is one of those spots no-one seems to have heard of. It's well known in the scuba diving community and we did in fact take a day long scuba diving lesson. It was pretty easy in the swimming pool…..a bird of another feather once in the old ocean 🙂 I couldn't equalize, started to panic and decided I would continue my training for longer before I went straight to ocean! (still a work in progress)! Saba is also known for it's medical school and surprisingly a great number of Canadians attend it. A few photos in the gallery below to give you an idea of the diversity of Saba. Google it, well worth a little explore. We discovered that many of the beautiful trails in Saba are maintained by volunteers from Canada who come down every year to work on the trails. The hiking is really beautiful and the trails are in good condition. We did Mt Scenery first as it's the highest and we thought if we started there everything else would seem easy. Well, just because some of the others aren't high, doesn't mean they were easy! The hardest was in fact Spring Bay trail, as it was totally exposed to the elements and very dry and hot. A lot of ground that slid a bit when you walked on it. My favourite trail was one we went on without being prepared (no water, no poles), it was Sandy Cruz and it was a beautiful trail through a jungle like setting with frequent views of the ocean. At the end of the trail is a beautiful hotel, where we went for lunch and a well deserved cocktail!
We stayed in St. Martin on the French side in Grand Case for 2 nights before Saba & 1 night after. I love Grand Case, really perfect location, nice water, great restaurants, a lot of different styles of accommodation. We stayed at the Bleu Emeraude and just loved it!

Thanks to modern techniques we're able to give you the first glimpse of how the rooms will look like in June 2010.
We rebuilt the complete Water Mill of Tourteron in Google Sketchup and started rendering in Indigo. The result is magnificent even though i haven't even bought the full version yet … the trial adds the logo and renders in a lower quality. But the result is a OMG stunning.
You can see clearly how for instance the bathroom in room 1 will look like and how the small lights will brighten the ancient walls.
If you'd like to see more images from the future, i really ask you to be patient since not only the render takes 8 hours. Preparing the render takes at least 16 hours of non stop 3D programming.

Death Cleaning Springport 49284
Why Biohazards Must Be Eliminated In Springport Michigan
Biohazards need to be eliminated, cleaned up, decontaminated, carried and appropriately dealt with to make sure the health and safety of all involved. Biohazards include germs and viruses that present health risks to family, pals or workers who may come in contact with biohazards. Blood-borne illness, germs, and viruses found in blood and other bodily fluids can live outside the body for days and in some cases weeks. HIV & Hepatitis are the most typically understood risks that can be contracted from biohazards. When a traumatic mishap, suicide, crime, death occurs in Springport or you have biohazards on your property it should be cleaned up and sanitized appropriately.
Biohazardous material includes:
- blood

There is more than what fulfills the eye and our specialists are trained to recognize, tidy and decontaminate the smallest beads of biohazard material. A thumbnail spot on the flooring or carpet might suggest a two-foot size bloodstain on the sub floor under it or on the floorboard. A tiny droplet of blood on the top of a cabinet drawer or counter top is an indicator of more blood inside the drawer or below the handle.

We typically get calls from a family member or friend of someone who has actually fallen or became ill due to the excess debris in the house. Extreme hoarding is also a fire risk and a threat to the resident and their neighbors.
We safely navigate risks such as rodent feces, human waste, bed bugs, fleas, animals, mold, asbestos, and years of dirt and dust hidden beneath, in or behind the debris. Rodents and their droppings pose the danger of Hantavirus, a breathing disease that can be deadly if not dealt with appropriately.
