A measure of the popularity Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards enjoyed in the 1920s can be found at the beginning of Metro Goldwyn Mayer's Hollywood Revue of 1929, that initial movie musical featuring a "Galaxy of Stars," among them Joan Crawford, Laurel and Hardy, Marion Davies and Buster Keaton. Edwards was also in that number, another constellation in the burgeoning Hollywood firmament. He first appears onstage while the mostly forgotten leading man, Conrad Nagel, and the wholly forgotten singer Charles King, are making their way through a bit of business regarding introductions. King asks a large cast of dancers seated on stage, "Who is the greatest interlocutor in the world?" The assembled chorines reply in unison "Conrad Nagel!" while Nagel feigns humility. Then King asks, "and who is the greatest lover on the screen?" In response, Edwards, small and effete, enters from stage right with an exaggerated sway and replies, "None other than Little Cliffy." He assumes an odd, leaning pose, cradling his ukulele and batting his eyes like a starlet.
"Well, hello," Nagel says, "who are you?"
"Oh, don't tell me you haven't heard of Little Cliffy?" Edwards says.
"Well, Cliffy who?" Nagel says, flummoxed.
"You evidently buy lots of phonograph records?" Cliffy asks.
"Yes," Nagel says.
"All right, listen." Edwards begins strumming his uke and goes into a kind of scat singing he called "effin," an odd sounding rhythmic vocalization he first showcased on the 1922 recording "Virginia Blues" with Ladd's Black Aces, for which he became famous. Nagel smiles and nods in recognition, he looks skyward, his body language saying, "Oh, of course, Little Cliffy." Nagel puts his arm around Edwards who continues to strum and offer his high-pitched moans.

BOULDER, Colorado (CNN) -- Blake Jones' business plan for his company, Namaste Solar Electric, was so unusual, he confounded a lot of business experts.
Typical home solar systems cost about $12,000 up front, but supporters say they pay off in the long run.
"We did have a lot of skeptical, raised eyebrows at the beginning," Jones said of his company, which installs solar power systems in Colorado.
"We even have had business schools bring teams of MBA students to come to do a case study," he said.
Outsiders were baffled by some of these company plans:
• Environmental concerns would be a driving force in every aspect of the company.
• Six weeks of paid time off.
• A concept called FOH -- frank, open and honest -- to help eliminate gossip and grudges.
• Employees, no matter what their job description, have the same pay scale.
• One percent of yearly revenues goes to solar systems donated to community groups.
• All major decisions would be made by consensus of all company employees.
Jones had done a serious turnabout in his own career that inspired some of the unusual principles of Namaste. Namaste is a Sanskrit greeting meaning "to bow to you." The civil engineer spent five years working in the Middle East for Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, in the oil and gas industry.
"But something in me realized there is something more. I didn't like the overdependence that we have on oil and gas. I think oil and gas, even coal are always going to be a very big part of our lives. But I think what we need to do, is we need a more balanced portfolio. I had a gradual awakening to wanting passionately to work with renewable energy because I thought there was a better way," Jones said.
He moved from the Middle East to Nepal, where he spent three years installing solar and hydroelectric systems in remote areas.
Although the clients and the mission are very different in Colorado, solar power is becoming a more popular long-term investment in the state.
Jones picked a place where residents are open to doing things a different way. Boulder is tree-hugger heaven by anyone's standards. The city has lots of incentives to encourage the use of renewable energy.
"There is more interest in solar in Boulder then anywhere else in Colorado. That's one example of how environmentally focused our community is," said Sarah Vanpelt, environmental sustainability coordinator for the city.
In 2004, Colorado voters approved state incentives for the use of alternative energy.
"And Boulder provides a rebate on a portion of the sales and use tax that property owners pay to purchase and install a system, and we use those funds to provide grants to nonprofits to install solar on affordable housing, low-income housing, and on nonprofit facilities," Vanpelt said.
"So I think we will continue to see growth in the green industry and in renewable energy, both solar and wind," she said.
Namaste is in the process of remodeling a 15,000-square-foot warehouse for its offices. Watch more about the unique project »
And it is doing it to the highest of green building standards, the LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification. That involves everything from the use of natural light to the recycling of building materials to the access to the building by public transportation.
And yes, all the building's electricity will be provided by a solar system Namaste installs. Most of the panels will be on the roof, but there will also be a solar awning.
Construction manager Marc Smerekanicz did some of his own head-scratching with some of the requests to meet LEED standards.
"Thinking in a different way than what I was brought up to think of as the construction process, that's the way of the future," Smerekanicz said.
For some customers, it is rising energy prices as much as concern for the environment that is prompting them to consider solar power for their homes and businesses.
Namaste just installed solar panels on the home of Hal Stuber.
"It's become more reasonably priced, and on top of that there are the incentives from the utility company, also the federal tax credits. So, all in all, the economics really look excellent," Stuber said.
"For every $3 of cost, from rebates and tax credits I'm getting about $2 back, and yeah, that's a big incentive. I doubt that I would have done this had it not been for the rebates and tax incentives," he said.
Stuber plans to use some of his solar power for a plug-in motorbike. And when his system produces more power than he uses, his electric meter runs backward. At the end of the year, he may get money back from the utility.
Even with rebates, Jones said, a typical solar system costs a homeowner about $12,000 up front. But he said that as a long-term investment, it pays off.
He said that's why the company's community involvement comes in the form of solar installations, not cash.
"We consider a solar system to be a gift that keeps on giving. If we give them a solar system, then it will save their electricity bills each year for the next 30 years, compared to if we just give them money, it will contribute to their budget for that one year only," Jones said.
So how's that crazy business plan working?
In the past 3½ years, Namaste has installed more solar systems than any other company in Colorado. Three original employees have grown to 45. And the company has been growing by triple-digit percentages every year.
"Whatever perspective you look at, we're being profitable, and it's exactly what we need to do to prove that our business experiment, that our company model is going to work," Jones said.

To hear a podcast about the advantages and disadvantages of GMOs, click on the player above, or tune in at vancouversunpodcasts.com.
Demand for food free of genetically modified organisms is growing fast and nowhere stronger than in British Columbia.
North American retail sales of Non-GMO Project verified foods have grown more than 300 per cent in three years, from $1.3 billion in 2011 to $5 billion today.
Products that display both an organic and non-GMO certification are out-selling their competitors five to one at Whole Foods Markets, company spokesman Joe Kennedy recently told a conference organized by the B.C. Food Processors Association.
The market share for organic groceries in B.C. is already double that of the rest of Canada, according to the Canada Organic Trade Association. Its 2013 market report found that two thirds of British Columbians buy organic foods each week and more than half of those surveyed said they want to avoid GMOs in their food.
A recent Ipsos Reid poll of 1,200 Canadians conducted for BioAccess Commercialization Centre, a non-profit organization that supports the natural foods industry, suggests that British Columbians are more likely to look for a non-GMO label than other Canadians.
But the Ipsos Reid survey also found widespread confusion about which crops, fruit and vegetables are likely to be the product of genetic engineering.
More than 60 per cent of respondents identified strawberries as a product of genetic engineering, but there are no commercially grown GE strawberries. Only 42 per cent identified tofu as a GMO product, despite the fact that more than 90 per cent of soybeans grown in North America are genetically engineered.
So many shoppers are convinced that perfect, red hothouse tomatoes are the result of genetic engineering that B.C.-based grower Houweling's Tomatoes obtained Non-GMO Project verification. There are no GE tomatoes on store shelves in Canada.
Explaining GMOs
Genetically engineered or GE life forms — popularly known as genetically modified organisms or GMOs — are created when the genetic code of an organism is altered to express a desirable trait or when code containing undesirable traits is silenced or removed. Much of the opposition to genetic engineering of foods is focused on the practice of inserting genetic code from one organism into another, which cannot occur under natural circumstances.
At its heart, genetic engineering is a short cut that scientists devised to speed up the work of selective breeding of plants into more useful and productive forms and to resist threats from the environment. Such selective breeding has been going on for most of human history and nearly every food crop grown today has been genetically modified through this older process.
What could have been a public relations coup for biotechnology with the promise to provide the world more nutritious, less expensive food using fewer resources has become a nasty fight driven by dislike of corporate power and fears of uncontrolled environmental and health effects. Companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Dupont and Bayer CropScience, which dominate the biotechnology landscape with billions of dollars in sales, are fighting allegations that they are using intellectual property law to monopolize the world's seeds and by extension the world's food supply.
Anti-GMO scientist Gilles-Eric Seralini produced a study purporting to show that herbicide-resistant corn fed to rats caused tumours. His work was condemned by scientists all over the world with accusations of poor design and statistical cherry-picking, and finally withdrawn by the journal that published it.
Unhelpful experiments, such as the creation of a glow-in-the-dark cat in South Korea, fuelled public hysteria and distrust of potentially useful products, such as fast-growing farmed salmon, which has not yet been approved for human consumption.
The battle over genetic engineering of food crops is being waged on multiple fronts by farmers, legislators, activists and scientists around the world, all trying to separate fear from fact. Fears over the safety of GMOs have given rise to a vitriolic public debate, consumer boycotts and a political battle about whether GE crops and products made from them should be labelled as such.
Shoppers will decide
But whether we as a society are able to make peace with this fast-growing technology will ultimately be settled in the grocery store, by shoppers.
"You vote for or against genetically engineered foods with everything that you buy," said Teresa Lynne, a campaigner for GE Free BC. "It's obvious companies are responding to the pressure."
Responding to an online campaign dubbed No GMOs, Cheerios!, General Mills announced that it would find sources of cornstarch and sugar produced from plants that have not been altered through gene insertion to replace the tiny amounts present in the popular breakfast cereal. The rest of the company's product line is unchanged.
Far more important is the emergence of Non-GMO Project certification, one of the fastest growing labelling programs in the North American food industry.
The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization that provides certification of foods made without genetically modified organisms.
What started as a collaboration between Toronto's Big Carrot Market and The Natural Grocery Company of Berkeley, Calif., has certified 14,000 products in less than 10 years.
"I feel like we don't know enough about the long-term impacts of GMOs on the people that consume them, but on the environment as well," said Samantha Agtarap, a mother of two children, three and five.
"I prefer to buy organic and local."
Agtarap, an engineering consultant and co-owner of a Port Moody fitness centre, steers clear of packaged foods and avoids fruits and vegetables that are most likely to have pesticide residues.
"We don't eat soy or corn very often, because they are GMO," she said.
More than 40 per cent of Canadians agree with the statement GMO foods are unsafe, according to the Ipsos Reid study. More than three quarters of British Columbians profess awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding genetic engineering in the food industry, the most of any province.
Many of the poll's findings reveal deep suspicion of the food industry and the willingness of government to protect them from threats. More than 70 per cent of Canadians say they would avoid buying foods containing GMOs. Only 15 per cent of British Columbians who are aware of GMOs believe government would protect them from health risks associated with GMO foods, by far the lowest level of confidence of any province.
It has only been two decades since the first seeds genetically altered to resist pests and survive the application of pesticides hit the market. But acceptance by farmers in Canada and the United States has been strong, generating seed sales of $10 billion last year for Monsanto alone. Around 90 per cent of corn, sugar beet, soy and canola produced in North America is grown from genetically engineered seeds, according to Aaron Sanger, verification program manager for the Non-GMO Project.
Today, more than 75 per cent of conventional processed foods in a typical supermarket contain ingredients derived from GMOs, a figure researched by the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Proponents quote that number to demonstrate the safety of GMOs, while opponents prefer to characterize the quiet proliferation of such products as a large, uncontrolled science experiment, with North American consumers acting in the role of guinea pigs.
Most of us have likely been eating foods made from genetically engineered crops — along with meats and dairy from animals fed GE corn and soy — for many years. Virtually every product outside the produce aisle that doesn't have an organic or non-GMO certification is likely to contain something — sugar, oil, starch or protein — derived from GE crops.
Many of the world's leading scientific organizations have declared — based on the evidence available — that GMOs pose no threat to human health. According to the non-profit Gene Literacy Project, the list includes the American Medical Association, the Royal Society of Medicine, the European Commission, the National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization. Even in France, the heart of anti-GMO sentiment, the French Academy of Science allows that "all criticisms against GMOs can be largely rejected by strictly scientific criteria."
But if that is true, is the war already over? Should we pack it in and move on to the next issue?
Not yet, shoppers.
"That's like saying, 'Everything is already GMO, oh well, just keep killing me,'" said GE Free BC's Lynne.
Customers push back
The pushback against GMOs from consumers is gaining steam.
The market research firm Packaged Facts predicts the U.S. market for non-GMO and organic labelled foods and beverages will grow at a rate of nearly 13 per cent annually and could make up 30 per cent of the total food and beverage market in 2017, representing $264 billion in sales.
More than 20 U.S. states are in various stages of deciding whether to require food containing ingredients derived from GMOs to be labelled. Recent plebiscites in California and Washington failed, while Maine and Connecticut passed conditional GMO labelling initiatives that are not yet in effect.
Food industry giants Monsanto, DuPont, General Mills and Nestlé helped fund a $22-million campaign against labelling in Washington state alone, according to disclosure documents. Supporters spent $7.9 million.
Politicians are taking notice at home, too. Anti-GMO group GE Free BC helped convince mayors and city councillors at the Union of B.C. Municipalities to call on the provincial government to outlaw production of genetically engineered plants and animals. At least 14 municipalities have passed resolutions banning GE technology, though they have no jurisdiction to dictate what farmers plant.
A campaign launched by GE Free BC and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network against the genetically engineered non-browning Arctic Apple in development by the B.C.-based Okanagan Specialty Fruits will attempt to kill the market for the fruit before it can be approved for sale, said Lynne.
Like the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Health Canada does not require foods or products made from GE crops to be labelled, though it does conduct safety testing of all new foods before they are introduced to the marketplace.
Growers and processors are allowed to voluntarily label foods as genetically engineered, but so far not one has done so.
From a practical standpoint, it might be easier to label the foods that do not contain ingredients from GE crops, which is precisely what the Non-GMO Project does.
"You can go out and buy non-GMO products without a government labelling initiative," said Sanger of the Non-GMO Project.
"It's your choice and it doesn't require any law."
Sanger was disappointed by recent failed ballot initiatives in the U.S., but not surprised given the amount of money spent by the food industry to defeat them.
"Consumers don't care what is in TV ads, they care what is in their food," said Sanger.
"We already have $5 billion worth of foods with our seal on it and that shows that people are voting with their wallets."
Food processors and distributors that seek Non-GMO Project verification can offer a level of transparency and assurance that is not guaranteed by an organic certification.
Left Coast Naturals recently announced that it will insist its suppliers confirm non-GMO status of products not already certified organic by the end of 2015 according to brand manager Trish Kelly. Products that contain ingredients from GE crops will be eliminated from the firm's product line.
Organic standards do not allow the use of genetically engineered seeds for crops, nor the use of GE feed for livestock, but there is little testing to detect the accidental presence of GMOs in organic products. Non-GMO Project verification requires high-risk ingredients in products be tested to confirm that they contain less than 0.9 per cent material from GE plants and that the products use a segregated supply chain to prevent contact with conventionally grown products.
Left Coast will join Houweling's Tomatoes, Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery and Nature's Path on the list of B.C. firms that sell Non-GMO Project verified products. Whole Foods, with nine stores in B.C., last year committed to labelling all foods that contain GMOs by 2018, the first national chain to do so.
"Is it possible to take GMOs right out of your diet? Yes, but you have to buy organic, you have to read labels. As more people source non-GMO ingredients and buy organic, it will bring the cost down," said Lynne.

I am reposting this old post for those going through the hottest season in history right now. Eastern Canada and USA are getting history breaking temperatures of 60 celsius, which is 140 degrees fahrenheit, enough to make the asphalt roads buckle and to melt shoes to the asphalt, and warping railroad lines, causing train problems and accidents. God bless you all that have to deal with it. That heat is not in my area yet.
Hello Dear Friends and Family!
This might be a good post for you to bookmark for when the weather gets unbearably hot this summer.
How To Beat the Heat
1. Wet a washcloth with cold water and put it on the back of your neck.
2. Keep a few wet washcloths or towels in the fridge, so you can swap them out when they warm up!
3. Place wet towel on the back of your neck.
4. Use a spray bottle from any cheap or dollar store to mist or spray yourself at home or where ever you go! Or Spray behind your knees, on your feet, and anywhere that's sweaty. The warm water keeps you from being shocked when you spray. Now, go get in front of a fan!
5. Run wrists under cold water. Use a piece of ice wrapped in a face cloth, to continue after the coolness wears off. Constantly cooling off the wrists will also cool off the body. Never use just ice, make sure it is wrapped in a towel or something similar. Studies show that this will reduce your core body temperature by as much as 1.5 ºC.
The relief is almost immediate, and will last for up to one hour!6. Turn off the stove and other sources of heat.
7. Partly fill a plastic bottle with water and freeze it. Put it in front of a fan; it'll give the same effect as cold water, but is less likely to spill.
8. Lightly mist a top sheet, and place it in a plastic bag in the freezer. Pull it out just before you're ready to sleep. It'll keep you cool enough to fall asleep.
9. Keep the sun out. Be sure to keep the window shades drawn from around 11:00 am until at least 2:00 pm. The sun shining into the house during this period can leave the temperature much warmer in the afternoon and evening than it needs to be.
10. Sleep alone. I know, it sounds a little lonely but it'll be much cooler than that abundance of body heat that comes with a spouse, a child, a dog or even the family cat sharing the bed with you. If you can't sleep alone, sleep with some space between you.
11. Wear cotton. Cotton takes perspiration away from the skin leaving you drier and more comfortable. Go for light coloured cotton clothes, cotton nightwear and bedding. Cotton sheets will not only absorb night sweats, but will also permit your skin to breath, allowing you to be more comfortable and less restless. Better sleep means more energy and better mobility.
12. Cool showers and baths. During the summer, there's nothing more satisfying than a cool bath or shower. When I can't sleep at night because of the heat, I fill a pan with cold water and soak my feet – it really helps to lower the body temperature!
13. Keep exercise moderate. Exercise is important but it's tempting to skip it when it's hot. Do exercise but keep it moderate. Don't push yourself too hard and be sure to take a cool shower afterwards to bring your body temperature back down.
14. A spray bottle with water and a few drops of peppermint oil, shaken, can lower your skin temperature up to 5 degrees. Don't spray this on your face, the peppermint oil could get in your eyes. If you want it on your face, spray into your hand, then rub on your face.
15. Try swimming. If possible, choose swimming as your exercise during the summer. Swimming works all the major muscle groups while helping to maintain a lower body temperature. It also helps with balance and mobility.
16. Seek shade. When you're going to be outside, always sit in the shade. Even better, sit in the shade where there's a breeze.
16. Wear a hat. The sun beating down on your head has a huge impact on your body temperature: always wear a hat when you're out in the sun. Many countries now have made a law that children under 12 must wear a sunhat to school in the warmer months.
17. Fill a hot water bottle with cold water from the fridge and put it on your ankles and feet - it works!
18. Do not consume any caffeinated beverages before trying to sleep, your increased heart rate will make you hotter and more susceptible to the heat.
19. Keep a glass of ice cold water close to your bed so that in the event that you wake up hot and uncomfortable, you can easily cool off again without having to get up.
20. Try cooling clothing. A number of manufacturers now make cooling vests, hats, etc. Last summer I ordered online a cooling bandana. They have gel crystals that retain cold when wet. You run it under cold water and tie it around your neck or head. As long as it stays wet, it stays cool! – neat!
21. Go to malls or theaters or stores that have air conditioning.20. Wear a damp shirt (not wet) around the house or yard. (not suitable for public, lol)
22. Heavy meals will make your heart pump harder to digest the food, heating you up. Keep meals light.
The following is a partial list of manufacturers and suppliers of "cooling" clothing. This includes everything from gel bandanas, cooling wrist bands, sunhats with cooling forehead bands to clothes with pockets to put cold gel packs, to space age clothing with body cooling molecules.

roglove necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 41 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Love London Fitness (lovelondonfitness.com)
My name is Roger Love, and I am a fitness instructor/personal trainer who is starting a unique business in London, UK.
It is called Love London Fitness (lovelondonfitness.com), and aiming to attract adults and children alike, focusing on family health/fitness. It will train adults and children separately AND parents and children together. Clients will be working in groups, families and/or as individuals. The logo would primarily need to appeal to adults/parents.
The key difference to other fitness companies is the focus on families, particularly the training to parents and children together.
I will work with children aged from 5 to 16.
I am passionate about tackling the obesity crisis among young people in the UK, as well as just showing parents and children that exercise can be enjoyable and life enriching.
Because of having London in the title, I am thinking about using red, white and blue as colours (the colours of the national flag) - but am open to other ideas, too.
My company's personality is fun and professional. It is serious, effective fitness done in a fun, engaging way. I would also hope to make families stronger in emotional ways through them engaging in exercise and healthy living.
We are based in the East End of London but will operate across the city.
Many thanks.
Primarily adults who want to get fit and get their children fit, either for health, lifestyle or sporting reasons. I would expect this would cut across class/gender/ethnic boundaries.
Another target audience would be health and education officials, teachers and government officials.
A logo to be used on website and stationary. I don't want to say much more - I don't want to stem creativity...

Some days ago I got approval from Real, I'm allowed to blog about the native FreeBSD RealPlayer. Now I get time to blog about it.
Ok, there's not much to say about it so far. Some people in the FreeBSD community (among them 2 committers, guess who is one of them…) are helping Real to get it up and running on FreeBSD. The FreeBSD build machine is setup and some build logs are already generated. Some minor problems where identified (missing software which can be installed out of the ports, some minor issues in the build system and some other easy to fix stuff I don't remember ATM) in a first round of log-review.
This reminds me that I should have a look if there are some new logs. Maybe I get time at the weekend. Let's hope I don't forget about it… 😉

Both positive and negative comments are posted, with these exceptions:
Why don't we see patientratings and comments for every doctor?
Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time.
The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
What questions are asked on the survey?
If you have questions or concerns, please email email@example.com.
Why is posting Press Ganey ratings and comments so important?
Today's society increasingly demands transparency and access to information which allows for informed decision making. We believe that by giving current and prospective patients and their families access to doctor ratings and comments, they gain additional insight into what other patient interactions have been like, and they can make more informed decisions when choosing a health care provider.
Internally, we use the data and comments on Press Ganey surveys to help our Patient Experience Team focus on issues of great importance to our patients and families. Access to patient satisfaction information allows us to make changes in policies, procedures and communication techniques to ensure that we are providing the best possible health care experience for our patients and families.
Can any Wake Forest Baptist patient post a comment?
Comments cannot be posted directly to a provider's profile. All comments are taken from the Press Ganey patient satisfaction surveys. When Wake Forest Baptist patients receive these surveys, they can write comments on them. As long as the comments do not include any of the exclusion criteria, they will be posted on the provider's profile within two to three weeks of when they are received.
Which patients receive surveys and how are they chosen?
Patients eligible to receive a survey will have:
Twenty-five outpatient surveys are mailed out, per provider, per month to a random sample of patients. All additional patients who have not received an outpatient survey in the last 30 days will receive an e-survey, provided we have their e-mail addresses on file.
Are surveys sent out to patients seeing doctors in all specialties?
Yes, outpatient surveys are sent to patients seeing doctors in all specialties. The questions and structure of the survey may vary slightly between specialties.
What is the percentage of the surveys are returned?
The average return rate is 18%. The return rate does vary by specialty.
How many of the comments are posted?
We don't know yet exactly, but early indicators are that only 3.5% of all comments meet the exclusion criteria and are not posted.
What happens if a physician or their practice receives a bad review?
The review will be posted. The Patient Experience team will work with providers who request coaching or help on how to improve their patients' experiences.
Could a couple of bad reviews affect a doctor's ranking?
A minimum of 30 ratings (not comments) are needed to ensure statistical validity. Providers with less than 30 ratings may still have data featured on their profiles, but it is their choice. When a provider has less than 30 returned surveys, ratings are more likely to fluctuate based on surveys with extreme responses, positive or negative.
Do other hospitals do this?
Yes, but currently only four other hospitals in the nation do so. We are proud that Wake Forest Baptist is the first hospital in North Carolina to post Press Ganey doctor ratings and patient comments.
How will patient privacy be protected in these comments
Any comment that risks patient privacy (e.g. names, unique diagnoses, unique procedures or complications) will not be posted.

What is compareTo() method in JavacompareTo() method is defined in interface java.lang.Comparable and it is used to implement natural sorting on java classes. natural sorting means the the sort order which naturally applies on object e.g. lexical order for String, numeric order for Integer or Sorting employee by there ID etc. most of the java core classes including String and Integer implements CompareTo() method and provide natural sorting.
Why do you need CompareTo()
How to implement compareTo in Java
BigDecimal bd2 = new BigDecimal("2.00");
System.out.println("comparing BigDecimal using equals: " + bd1.equals(bd2));
System.out.println("comparing BigDecimal using compareTo: " + bd1.compareTo(bd2));
comparing BigDecimal using equals: false
comparing BigDecimal using compareTo: 0
Student john13 = new Student(1002, "John", 13);
//compareTo will return -1 as age of john12 is less than john13
System.out.println("comparing John, 12 and John, 13 with compareTo :" + john12.compareTo(john13));
comparing John, 12 and John, 13 with compareTo :-1
Example of compareTo() in Java
private int id;
private String name;
private int age;
*Compare a given Student with current(this) object.
*If current Student id is greater than the received object,
*then current object is greater than the other.
public int compareTo(Student otherStudent) {
// return this.id - otherStudent.id ; //result of this operation can overflow
return (this.id < otherStudent.id ) ? -1: (this.id > otherStudent.id) ? 1:0 ;
* Compare a given Student with current(this) object.
* first compare name and than age
public int compareTo(Student otherStudent) {
//compare name
int nameDiff = name.compareToIgnoreCase(otherStudent.name);
if(nameDiff != 0){
return nameDiff;
//names are equals compare age
return age - otherStudent.age;
That's all on implementing compareTo method in Java. Please add any other fact which you think important to note while overriding compareTo. In summary compareTo should provide natural ordering and compareTo must be consistent with equals() method in Java.

text: If visitors to the harbor could see below the surface of the water, they would see an abundance of aquatic life, from blue-fish and blue crabs to dozens of other species. They survive there despite the extremely poor water quality, which can often lead to fish kills and algae blooms. Three months ago today we introduced an innovative approach to upgrade that water quality: manmade floating wetlands. Just three months into the project, we have seen that our wetland is becoming a complete, thriving ecosystem, with all the components you would expect to see in a marsh! This single wetland is telling us that when given a chance, life flourishes. Our wetland is part of a pilot project that includes two other floating islands in the harbor, installed and managed by the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, a group that includes the Aquarium and Baltimore City. The goal? To prove that these wetlands have a positive effect on harbor habitat. For the next two years, we will be collecting data to evaluate one island's effect on water quality, with the Maryland Department of the Environment close by our side. The data we've already collected are promising! To help show you what we're seeing, our cameras took a dive below the surface: Our island was installed late in the summer, so the plants didn't have an entire season to grow. Despite this, the plants have thrived. But the thriving plants above the island only tell a small part of the story. As you saw in the video, a lot of the action goes on beneath the island. Roots from the plants are poking through the island and dangling below it. The roots help draw excess nutrients from the water and provide a welcome hiding place for small fish, crabs and other animals. We will see more roots next year, when the plants have an entire season to grow. Huge numbers of small animals are burrowing into and clinging onto the island itself. There are millions of microscopic filter-feeders like bryozoans, as well as thousands of larger critters like mussels and marine worms. Filter-feeders help clear and clean the water. The island and its inhabitants are attracting all kinds of animals! The small fish you saw -- striped bass, spot, Atlantic menhaden and white perch -- as well as blue crabs and grass shrimp, which feed on and shelter beneath the island. The success we have already seen with just this one small island gives us hope that we can restore the harbor, and the entire bay, to health, because we see that plants and animals respond when we give them a chance to thrive.

Marinated beef and pasta bento
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!
Quick teriyaki beef donburi
You can buy thin beaf slices in some grocery shops or butchers. They may be called minute steaks or quick steaks and are a great ingredient that you can use to make a quick donburi (a rice bowl with meat and vegetable toppings). It's so fast to prepare, that you can do everything in the time it takes to cook the rice!
Vegetarian bento
Today was one of these days that my coffee needed a coffee... And I really couldn't make myself cook in the morning. So, the vegetarian bento was made! It's fast, it's simple, and it tasted great. Consider that a fancy salad for lazy days.

The Elimination Chamber: WWE champion CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz vs. R-Truth
CM Punk and Kofi Kingston are starting out in the Chamber. They locked up and Kingston grabbed a side headlock. Punk sent him off into the ropes and leapfrogged him. Punk whipped him into the ropes and Kingston leapfrogged them and landed on the outside. He returned to the ring and that shook hands. They locked up again and Punk drilled him with a trio of kicks to the legs. Punk sent him into the ropes but Kingston sunset flipped Punk, sending them into a nice sequences of near falls. Punk tried to nail the GTS but Kingston slipped out and drilled him with a dropkick for a two count.
Kingston went for the Boom Drop but Punk kicked him. They battled to the apron. Punk tried to suplex him outside onto the steel grate but Kingston landed on his feet. Kingston went for a back suplex. Punk slipped out but landed on the grate knees first. Kingston went for a move but Punk turned it into a catapult into the pod containing Jericho. Punk followed that up with a suplex on the grate. The Milwaukee crowd began chanting for Punk. Inside the ring, Punk covered Kingston for a near fall.
Punk tried to score several near falls as the countdown ended, entering Ziggler into the match. Ziggler raked Punk's eyes and used a Fireman's Carry on the grate outside. Ziggler grabbed the chains and exercised, then dropped down with a legdrop on Punk on the outside. Ziggler brought him back into the ring for a two count, then punted Kingston in the guts. Ziggler missed a leaping splash in the corner on Punk and all three men were down and out. Kingston recovered first and began working over Ziggler. Punk drilled Ziggler as well. Kingston slammed Ziggler. Punk dropkicked him.
Ziggler reversed a whip into the corner by Kofi but was kicked off as he charged. Punk and Kingston both went for a dive at Ziggler from opposite sides of the ropes. Ziggler ducked out of the way and Kingston and Punk wiped each other out in mid-air. That was cool. Punk tried to cover Kofi to no avail as the next countdown began. R-Truth was released next.
Truth hit a big Beel Throw sending Ziggler over the top to the grate. Truth then leaped over the ropes onto Ziggler. Truth covered Ziggler for a two count. Punk grabbed Truth and whipped him into the corner but was kicked off. Undaunted, Punk nailed the running knee lift, then set up for a superplex, snapping Truth into the ring for a two count. Punk ducked a Trouble in Paradise from Kingston, then threw him to the outside. Punk went to the top rope, in front of Jericho's pod, then nailed a flying elbow on Truth, pinning him.
Truth is eliminated.
Ziggler rolled up Punk, who reversed it. Kingston nailed Punk with Trouble in Paradise, then tossed Ziggler to the outside. He covered Punk for a near fall. Kingston springboarded onto the chains of the Chamber but Kingston grabbed, then hit a spinning DDT on the grate on Ziggler. Miz was released. They still did the countdown and teased who would be next even though Jericho was guaranteed to be last.
Miz hit the ring and started destroying everyone. He grabbed Kingston and drove his face into the chains on the outside. He slammed Kingston on the grate outside. Ziggler charged him and was elevated over the top to the grate outside. Miz brought him back into the ring for a two count. Back outside, Miz drove Kingston backwards into the ringpost. He charged but Kingston kicked him off. Kingston was laid out and covered by Miz for another two count. Miz hit an awful looking running clothesline on Punk, cutting his speed at the last second. He went for The Skullcrushing Finale but Punk reversed it into a near fall. Miz nailed the Finale for a two count.
Miz began ripping at Punk's face. Punk fired back with a series of elbows and neckbreaker. Punk went for the running kneelift but was kicked by Miz. Miz charged but was caught in a powerslam and locked in the Anaconda Vice by Punk. Jericho was released, so Punk let Miz go and they faced off. They began exchanging blows in the center of the ring. Jericho caught him with a clothesline and a kick to the back, then a dropkick for a two count.
Punk fired back with several roundhouse kicked but caught by Jericho with a double leg takedown. Jericho went for the Walls of Jericho but Punk kicked him off. Punk went for the GTS but Jericho kicked him and nailed the Lionsault for a two count. Ziggler rolled up Jericho for a two count. Jericho nailed the Codebreaker and pinned Ziggler.
Ziggler is eliminated.
Outside, Jericho began kicking the hell out of Kingston. He returned to Punk and worked him over in the center. Punk grabbed his legs when Jericho went for a dropkick and catapulted him over the ropes onto the grate outside. Punk began slamming him backwards into one of the pods. Jericho locked himself in the pod to escape. Punk made his way in and worked over Jericho. Jericho fired back, slamming the pod door closed on Punk's shoulder. Punk went down so Jericho turned his attention to Kingston before returning to Punk to mock him.
Jericho went back to Kingston, who nailed the SOS on Jericho on the outside Miz covered Jericho to steal the win but Jericho kicked out. Kingston returned to the fray but was attacked by Miz and peppered with punches in the corner. Miz charged but Kingston used the ropes for leverage to kick Miz in the face. Kingston started to climb to the top but Miz cut him off. Miz went for a superplex but was attacked from behind by Punk. Punk powerbombed Miz down for a two count. Kingston climbed to the top of one of the pods and hit a flying bodypress onto both Miz and Punk. He covered Miz, who kicked out at two.
Jericho grabbed Kingston and turned him over for the Walls of Jericho. Kingston tried to hold on but finally tapped. Kingston has been eliminated. Jericho refused to let go. He finally did, then grabbed Kofi and threw him over the top onto the grate. He followed Kingston to the outside and then threw out of the door of the Chamber to the fall. Punk then kicked Jericho out of the Chamber. Jericho fell to the floor, hitting his head the inside of a barrier wiping out one of the cameramen as well. The referees checked on Jericho, who didn't respond to them. They called for a doctor saying he couldn't continue. Jericho wasn't responding. They treated it like it was a legitimate knockout. Punk was on his knees asking if Jericho was done, using the dreaded "X" sign.
Jericho is eliminated.
Miz attacked Punk and tried to go for a neckbreaker but Punk slipped out and kicked him in the head for a two count. Punk hit the running kneelift into the bulldog for a two count. Punk went for the springboard clothesline but was caught with the Skull Crushing Finale for a CLOSE two count. Miz drove Punk into the corner and worked him over with punches. He began screaming at Punk that was nothing and striking him. The announcers said that Miz had lost focus because he wanted to get back into the main event of Wrestlemania so bad. He took his time and charged Punk, who moved and Miz hit a pod head-first. Punk nailed him with the GTS and covered Miz.
Miz was eliminated.
Your winner and still WWE champion, CM Punk!
As Punk left, Jericho was still outside being checked on.
Really, really good match. It wasn't a blowaway match that will be trumpeted through the ages but the false finishes were great and they told some good stories, especially with Punk vs. Jericho. Everyone worked hard and they worked a good, hard pace. Some of the bumps on the outside made me cringe. Kingston went from an afterthought to showing he really could go with this performance. Miz was trying hard to redeem himself. Truth looked fine. Ziggler worked hard. Punk and Jericho were their usual great selves. Thumbs up for sure.

The following chapter describes how to use the Diameter Rf interface API, based on the Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container Diameter protocol implementation, in your own applications, and contains the following sections:
Offline charging is used for network services that are paid for periodically. For example, a user may have a subscription for voice calls that is paid monthly. The Rf protocol allows an IMS Charging Trigger Function (CTF) to issue offline charging events to a Charging Data Function (CDF). The charging events can either be one-time events or may be session-based.
Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container provides a Diameter Offline Charging Application that can be used by deployed applications to generate charging events based on the Rf protocol. The offline charging application uses the base Diameter protocol implementation, and allows any application deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container to act as CTF to a configured CDF.
For basic information about offline charging, see RFC 3588: Diameter Base Protocol (
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3588.txt). For more information about the Rf protocol, see 3GPP TS 32.299 (
For both event and session based charging, the CTF implements the accounting state machine described in RFC 3588. The server (CDF) implements the accounting state machine "SERVER, STATELESS ACCOUNTING" as specified in RFC 3588.
The reporting of offline charging events to the CDF is managed through the Diameter Accounting Request (ACR) message. Rf supports the ACR event types described in Table 11-1.
Starts an accounting session.
Updates an accounting session.
Stops an accounting session
Indicates a one-time accounting event.
The START, INTERIM, and STOP event types are used for session-based accounting. The EVENT type is used for event based accounting, or to indicate a failed attempt to establish a session.
Event-based charging events are reported through the ACR EVENT message. Example 11-1 shows the basic message flow.
Session-based charging uses the ACR START, INTERIM, and STOP requests to report usage to the CDF. During a session, the CTF may report multiple ACR INTERIM requests depending on the session lifecycle. Example 11-2 shows the basic message flow
Example 11-2 Message Flow for Session-Based Charging
CTF (WLSS) CDF (Server) | | | --- ACR (START) ----> | | | | (Open CDR) | | | <-- ACA (START) ----- | | | ... ... | --- ACR (INTERIM) --> | | | | (Update CDR) | | | <-- ACA (INTERIM) --- | ... ... | --- ACR (STOP) -----> | | | | (Close CDR) | | | <-- ACA (STOP) ------ | | |
Here, ACA START is sent a receipt of a service request by Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container. ACA INTERIM is typically sent upon expiration of the AII timer. ACA STOP is issued upon request for service termination by Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container.
Rf API is packaged as a Diameter application similar to the Sh application used for managing profile data. The Rf Diameter API can be configured and enabled by editing the Diameter configuration file located in
DOMAIN_ROOT/config/custom/diameter.xml, or by using the Diameter console extension. Additionally, configuration of both the CDF realm and host can be specified using the cdf.realm and cdf.host initialization parameters to the Diameter Rf application.
Example 11-3 shows a sample excerpt from
diameter.xml that enables Rf with a CDF realm of "oracle.com" and host "cdf.oracle.com:"
Example 11-3 Sample Rf Application Configuration (diameter.xml)
<application> <application-id>3</application-id> <accounting>true</accounting> <class-name>com.bea.wcp.diameter.charging.RfApplication</class-name> <param> <name>cdf.realm</name> <value>oracle.com</value> </param> <param> <name>cdf.host</name> <value>cdf.oracle.com</value> </param> </application>
Because the
RfApplication uses the Diameter base accounting messages, its Diameter application id is 3 and there is no vendor ID.
Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container provides an offline charging API to enable any deployed application to act as a CTF and issue offline charging events. This API supports both event-based and session-based charging events.
The classes in package
com.bea.wcp.diameter.accounting provide general support for Diameter accounting messages and sessions. Table 11-2 summarizes the classes.
Table 11-2 Diameter Accounting Classes
An Accounting-Request message.
An Accounting-Answer message.
A Client-based accounting session.
Accounting record type constants.
In addition, classes in package
com.bea.wcp.diameter.charging support the Rf application specifically. Table 11-3 summarizes the classes.
Table 11-3 Diameter Rf Application Support Classes
|Common definitions for 3GPP charging functions
Offline charging application
Offline charging session
RfApplication class can be used to directly send ACR requests for event-based charging. The application also has the option of directly modifying the ACR request before it is sent out. This is necessary in order for an application to add any custom AVPs to the request.
In particular, an application must set the Service-Information AVP it carries the service-specific parameters for the CDF. The Service-Information AVP of the ACR request is used to send the application-specific charging service information from the CTF (WLSS) to the CDF (Charging Server). This is a grouped AVP whose value depends on the application and its charging function. The Offline Charging API allows the application to set this information on the request before it is sent out.
For session-based accounting, the
RfApplication class can also be used to create new accounting sessions for generating session-based charging events. Each accounting session is represented by an instance of
RfSession, which encapsulates the accounting state machine for the session.
If the Rf application is deployed, then applications deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server SIP Container can obtain an instance of the application from the Diameter node (
com.bea.wcp.diameter.Node class). Example 11-4 shows the sample Servlet code used to obtain the Diameter
Node and access the Rf application.
Example 11-4 Accessing the Rf Application
ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext(); Node node = sc.getAttribute("com.bea.wcp.diameter.Node"); RfApplication rfApp = (RfApplication) node.getApplication(Charging.RF_APPLICATION_ID);
Applications can safely use a single instance of
RfApplication to issue offline charging requests concurrently, in multiple threads. Each instance of
RfSession actually holds the per-session state unique to each call.
For session-based charging requests, an application first uses the
RfApplication to create an instance of
RfSession. The application can then use the session object to create one or more charging requests.
The first charging request must be an ACR START request, followed by zero or more ACR INTERIM requests. The session ends with an ACR STOP request. Upon receipt of the corresponding ACA STOP message, the
RfApplication automatically terminates the
Example 11-5 shows the sample code used to start a new session-based accounting session.
Example 11-5 Starting a Session-Based Account Session
RfSession session = rfApp.createSession(); sipRequest.getApplicationSession().setAttribute("RfSession", session); ACR acr = session.createACR(RecordType.START); acr.addAvp(Charging.SERVICE_INFORMATION, ...); ACA aca = acr.sendAndWait(1000); if (!aca.getResultCode().isSuccess()) { ... error ... }
In Example 11-5, the
RfSession is stored as a SIP application session attribute so that it can be used to send additional accounting requests as the call progresses. Example 11-6 shows how to send an INTERIM request.
Example 11-6 Sending an INTERIM request
RfSession session = (RfSession) req.getApplicationSession().getAttribute("RfSession"); ACR acr = session.createACR(RecordType.INTERIM); ACA aca = acr.sendAndWait(1000); if (!aca.getResultCode().isSuccess()) { ... error ... }
An application may want to send one or more ACR INTERIM requests while a call is in progress. The frequency of ACR INTERIM requests is usually based on the Acct-Interim-Interval AVP value in the ACA START message sent by the CDF. For this reason, an application timer must be used to send ACR INTERIM requests at the requested interval. See 3GPP TS 32.299 for more details about interim requests.
The Acct-Interim-Interval (AII) timer value is used to indicate the expiration time of an Rf accounting session. It is specified when ACR START is sent to the CDF to initiate the accounting session. The CDF responds with its own AII value, which must be used by the CTF to start a timer upon whose expiration an ACR INTERIM message must be sent. This INTERIM message informs the CDF that the session is still in use. Otherwise, the CDF terminates the session automatically.
It is the application's responsibility to send ACR INTERIM messages, because these are used to send updated Service-Information data to the CDF. Oracle recommends creating a ServletTimer that is set to expire according to the AII value. When the timer expires, the application must send an ACR INTERIM message with the updated service information data.
Applications generally use the synchronous
sendAndWait() method. However, if latency is critical, an asynchronous API is provided wherein the application Servlet is asynchronously notified when an answer message is received from the CDF. To use the asynchronous API, an application first registers an instance of
SessionListener in order to asynchronously receive messages delivered to the session, as shown in Example 11-7.
Example 11-7 Registering a SessionListener
RfSession session = rfApp.createSession(); session.setAttribute("SAS", sipReq.getApplicationSession()); session.setListener(this);
Attributes can be stored in an
RfSession instance similar to the way SIP application session attributes are stored. In the above example, the associated SIP application was stored as an
RfSession so that it is available to the listener callback.
When a Diameter request or answer message is received from the CDF, the application Servlet is notified by calling the
rcvMessage(Message msg) method. The associated SIP application session can then be retrieved from the
RfSession if it was stored as a session attribute, as shown in Example 11-8.
Example 11-8 Retrieving the RfSession after a Notification
public void rcvMessage(Message msg) { if (msg.getCommand() != Command.ACA) { if (msg.isRequest()) { ((Request) msg).createAnswer(ResultCode.UNABLE_TO_COMPLY, "Unexpected request").send(); } return; } ACA aca = (ACA) msg; RfSession session = (RfSession) aca.getSession(); SipApplicationSession appSession = (SipApplicationSession) session.getAttribute("SAS"); ... }
For an event-based charging request, the charging request is a one-time event and the session is automatically terminated upon receipt of the corresponding EVENT ACA message. The
sendAndWait(long timeout) method can be used to synchronously send the EVENT request and block the thread until a response has been received from the CDF. Example 11-9 shows an example that uses an
RfSession for sending an event-based charging request.
Example 11-9 Event-Based Charging Using RfSession
RfSession session = rfApp.createSession(); ACR acr = session.createACR(RecordType.EVENT); acr.addAvp(Charging.SERVICE_INFORMATION, ...); ACA aca = acr.sendAndWait(1000); if (!aca.getResultCode().isSuccess()) { ... send error response ... }
For convenience, it is also possible send event-based charging requests using the
RfApplication directly, as shown in Example 11-10.
Example 11-10 Event-Based Charging Using RfApplication
ACR acr = rfApp.createEventACR(); acr.addAvp(Charging.SERVICE_INFORMATION, ...); ACA aca = acr.sendAndWait(1000);
Internally, the
RfApplication creates an instance of
RfSession associated with the ACR request, so this method is equivalent to creating the session explicitly.
For both session and event based accounting, the
RfSession class automatically handles creating session IDs, as well as updating the Accounting-Record-Number AVP used to sequence messages within the same accounting session.
In the above cases the applications waits for up to 1000 ms to receive an answer from the CDF. If no answer is received within that time, the Diameter core delivers an UNABLE_TO_COMPLY error response to the application, and cancels the request. If no timeout is specified with
sendAndWait(), then the default request timeout of 30 seconds is used. This default value can be configured using the Diameter console extension.
The accounting session state for offline charging is serializable, so it can be stored as a SIP application session attribute. Because the client APIs are synchronous, it is not necessary to maintain any state for the accounting session once the Servlet has finished handling the call.
For event-based charging events it is not necessary for the application to maintain any accounting session state because it is only used internally, and is disposed once the ACA response has been received.

SKF Wind Farm Management Conference
Straight talk on wind farm service and maintenance at exclusive industry gathering
By Lyn Harrison, Owner of Insight Wind, and 2013 SKF Wind Farm Management Conference panel debate moderator
Knowledge sharing, access to data, the rise of the independent service provider and a growing determination among wind farm owners to take more control of their assets were recurring themes at the 8th annual SKF Wind Farm Management Conference, held in Warsaw, June 12-13. The venue was chosen in recognition of Poland's position as the largest wind power market in eastern Europe.
A high calibre gathering of 148 participants from 21 countries and 52 companies listened to presentations and panel debates on how to realise operations and maintenance (O&M) cost savings in a maturing wind industry. With some of the best brains on the topic rubbing shoulders with service and maintenance experts from other industries, SKF achieved an interesting and relevant mix of professionals for its exclusive and customer-focused event.
In the packed conference room, moderators sparked challenging debate and encouraged some surprisingly straightforward and honest answers. See below for highlights from the most popular debates.
Access to data from an operating wind plant, or rather lack of access to insufficient data, was a common refrain throughout the event. In a wind service market that by 2016 will have grown to 200 GW of plant out of warranty and be worth $10-17 billion, according to keynote speaker Morten Keller from MAKE Consulting, the data crunch is of growing concern.
The broader picture is clear. As Vattenfall's Pär Attermo recounted, gearbox failure, blade damage and faulty electrical control systems account for the largest share of lifetime service and maintenance costs. That share was put at 80% by SKF's Erwin Weiss in his presentation on risk assessment. But the fine detail of what goes wrong – how, and when – is often missing.
Rumblings of discontent were heard about the near data monopoly held by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the turbine suppliers. Asked whether he had sufficient data from OEMs to build accurate simulations of maintenance strategy models, Vattenfall O&M engineer François Besnard replied: "I don't have access to the data." From SKF, renewables applications manager Paul Meaney diplomatically responded: "You really have to dig. It's always more difficult than perhaps it should be." E.ON's Nordic fleet manager Roland Flaig reported that out of 4.2 GW of wind capacity selected for inclusion in the company's energy yield initiative, data from just 3.6 GW was of sufficient quality to be included in the program.
Speakers concurred that service, maintenance, repairs and parts replacement accounted for 15-30% of life cycle costs, with offshore at the high end of the scale. Thus the scope for lowering the cost of wind generation and improving owner returns through reductions in operating expenditure (OPEX) is not inconsiderable.
It was not until the event's final session that a wind turbine owner took the bull by the horns. Today's OEMs control wind turbine data collection and their priorities do not match those of an owner, said Sven Jesper Knudsen, a data analyst with offshore wind owner Dong. "We need access and control."
Remote monitoring and analytics are key to reducing operating costs and improving performance offshore. Analytics makes the business case for spending, Knudsen said. But opportunities are being lost for lack of data. As pointed out by his colleague at Dong, Christina Aabo, the focus of OEMs is on reducing capital expenditure, which accounts for 70-75% of the levelised cost of wind energy, rather than on reducing the 25-30% share that OPEX represents offshore. As a result, their data collection priorities do not necessarily match those of offshore wind farm owners.
Knudsen bemoaned the lack of data integrity. Better accuracy, quality, consistency, validation and documentation are needed. Actionable information is in short supply, he said. As well as recommendations for best practice data collection, his presentation documented examples of lost opportunities.
Knudsen said he could "work magic" with access to all data, a modern and open data platform for wind turbines and better data integrity. One of the wind industry's biggest problems, he added, is that it is still too small to attract the required firepower to solve the issues.
More knowledge sharing and co-operation on data is needed between OEMs, wind farm owners and independent service providers (ISPs)."Knowledge sharing can have a huge impact on availability," said Morten Keller of MAKE Consulting.
Key performance indicators for the same model turbine operating in similar conditions in different countries often differ widely, he added. Mystified owners could learn much from one another. Dong's Aabo echoed Keller. "We need to have a dedicated focus on knowledge sharing," she said.
The operations and maintenance industry is not moving forward on the issue, said SKF's Hannes Leopoldseder. He asked how good practice could best be replicated. From utility E.ON, Flaig's response was immediate: companies must talk to one another. ISPs, he said, were getting better at external communication.
Attermo said a change of culture is required. Vattenfall, he said, wants its staff to learn more by working alongside OEM technicians. IT problems should not be underestimated. Spare parts, for example, are cheaper on the open market than from OEMs, but it takes far too much time to locate them, he said.
A response to that problem came from Mark Huyzer, director of start-up company Spares in Motion, which connects suppliers and customers in the wind turbine aftermarket based on Huyzer's experience in the aerospace industry A transparent spare-part supply chain will reduce delays on parts delivery, break OEM monopolies on original components and result in lower costs, he said. Huyzer called for more data on component removal rates to allow optimisation of stock levels.
The need for strong stock positions among service suppliers is growing as more wind farms come out of warranty and owners select ISPs instead of OEMs for service and maintenance, said Huyzer. In the aerospace industry, manufacturer-approved parts, and parts from designated engineering representatives, have proved to be as reliable as those from the OEM, he said.
Huyzer's comments reflected doubts voiced at the conference about OEMs as the providers of service and maintenance, given that the interests of the owner and the OEM were seldom aligned.
Carsten Brinck from DMP in Denmark, an ISP, warned of the conflict when the ISP is reliant on the OEM to provide a part, yet the OEM offers turbine service to the owner in competition with ISPs.
Brinck joined the chorus of voices identifying full co-operation from the OEM as crucial to wind farm management. But OEM co-operation varies and the incentive for them to actively monitor inefficiencies is limited, said E.ON's Flaig. It was a theme picked up by Thilo Langfeldt of Strategic Engineering Management.
The owner is focused on maximum production at lowest life cycle cost while the supplier of the wind turbine, often the party performing service and maintenance, is focused on minimising cost, particularly during the warranty period, said Langfeldt.
He noted the reluctance of OEMs to offer real, energy-based performance warranties instead of simple, time based availability warranties. Even if an energy warranty is agreed, there is still no incentive for the OEM to optimise performance beyond the reference level. Moreover, it is almost impossible for an owner to prove that a loss of energy calculation is correct, he said. Langfeldt's presentation detailed a series of specific working practices that function as disincentives to the OEM and offered solutions to the problems.
Javier Saldise from Vestas was a lone defender of the OEM position. He energetically countered the criticisms. Vestas, he said, is eager to share knowledge and enter into co-operative relationships. He called for more flexibility from owners and service providers in their working methods. "We have a lot of information," he said. "But we are not able to convince you that we can help you."
Morten Keller described OEM service and maintenance deals as "extremely expensive over 10 years." In Denmark there is a strong and steady move to ISPs from OEMs, particularly as turbines age. "Service costs are going down now in general," he said.
The advantage of an ISP is that experience over multiple brands allows it to become a one-stop-shop supplier to an owner with a wide variety of wind turbine models within its portfolio, said DMP's Brinck. An ISP offers greater flexibility and more independence from the OEM and the natural monopoly it exercises over knowledge and component supply. ISP UpWind Solutions' Peter Wells agreed. His company operates a policy of full disclosure of all information to the owner.
Different owners have different goals, said Brinck. A utility owner is focused on increasing energy production; a financial owner on cash flow and return on investment; an asset manager's focus is on the return when trading the asset, while an operator working for an owner is earnings focused. A maintenance strategy must be individually tailored to the owner's particular focus, with lots of built-in flexibility to adapt as circumstances change. "Don't settle for outsourcing with full service scopes," he advised.
The ISP sector in the wind industry, however, is made up of a large number of small companies, often with no more than a handful of staff. Consolidation of ISPs throughout Europe is necessary to meet the needs of a growing O&M business, said Brinck. And the business is changing. Asset owners are less willing to outsource all responsibility to an ISP or OEM. "We see a bigger involvement from the more mature operators," said Brinck.
From an owner's perspective, the choice between OEM or ISP for service and maintenance is not a question of one or the other, but both, said Dong's Aabo. The conflict between the two must develop into a co-operative partnership model. Dong's approach will be to keep overall control of O&M and maintain a close working relationship with the OEM, but she also sees the company outsourcing specific maintenance tasks to specialist independence service providers. "We are discussing that strategy as an owner."
Dong is determined to have control over its assets and is taking a lead role in influencing design and development in dialogue with the OEMs, said Aabo, particularly in foundation design and electrical infrastructure. "We are not doing components, but leading innovation."
The story is similar at E.ON. As owner of its assets, E.ON wants to take charge of asset management, in co-operation with the OEM. "We need to involve the manufacturer," explained Roland Flaig, Nordic fleet manager, E.ON. In describing E.ON's comprehensive energy yield initiative he said four OEMs were involved and all were co-operative and interested. "Sometimes we feel they are not, but in this case they were really on the ball."
The initiative, detailed in his presentation, resulted in the realisation of significant value, said Flaig. Lessons learned in how to increase energy yield are being incorporated into a standard continuous improvement process for all E.ON's operating wind assets. Experience sharing across maintenance teams is facilitated through an asset management newsletter and through an operators' forum.
From the renewables division of Portuguese utility EDP, Ceferino Viescas Fernández described the process of bringing order to the chaos of owning 400 GW of wind capacity dispersed across Europe, consisting of 25 turbine models from different periods supplied by ten OEMs. Half is out of warranty. The approach is step-by-step implementation of uniformity of maintenance, from performance measurement and data collection, to analysis and development of common procedures. "We needed to all talk the same language," said Fernández. "We have tried to make the same structure of service contract for all wind farms across all suppliers." His presentation detailed the approach.
The last word on the owner's dilemma goes to Simon Powles from the UK's RES, one of the oldest and most experienced owner-developers in the global wind business. Owners must take an active role in analysing wind farm performance and turbine behaviour and no longer simply rely on warranties and the service provider, he said. "Catching problems early will reduce downtime and repairs with increased revenues and lower costs resulting."
Carsten Brink, DMP:
"We see a bigger involvement from the more mature operators."
"Don't settle for outsourcing with full-service scopes."
Morten Keller, MAKE Consulting:
"Knowledge sharing can have a huge impact on availability."
Simon Powles, RES:
"Owners must take an active role in analysing wind farm performance and turbine behaviour."

Most traders struggle to consistently make money. Fortunately,
it doesn't have to be that way with a solid plan and actually
sticking to it.
We have 3 tips for you that will help you to reach your trading
goals. Here they are:
if you lose some trades, don't give up on that strategy just yet.
There's no such thing as 100% winners. You can lose trades and
make money.
So learn to be patient, losing trades don't always mean failure.
week, a few days, maybe even a month, then expect to use a higher
risk. And with that risk there's a chance you will blow out
your account. It's not smart unless you are willing to throw away
the money, then you may get lucky.
Instead, you can make a high return in Forex, such as 10%, 20%,
even 50% in a few weeks or a month, but don't aim for these high
returns with high risk.
with a very tiny account. Too often we see traders trying to start
with $100, thinking that it's enough to do anything, unfortunately
at that size you aren't going to make a lot of money and you are
using high risk even if set low, just because the account is so small.
Fortunately, there is some hope for those who prefer smaller accounts,
but we don't recommend $100.

漫才 Manzai
About 漫才 Manzai – the traditional Japanese stand-up comedy form
漫才 Manzai – Stand up comedy routine with a straightman and clown (usually 2 people). Manzai thrives in the Kansai (particularly Osaka) region. The best known Entertainment company that sponsors Manzai is 吉本興業 よしもとこうぎょう which started a comedy theater in 1912.
Manzai is often spoken VERY fast and (at least in the Kansai area) is rich with Kansai slang. Watching Manzai (for intermediates) is a great way to study this fascinating and lively dialect.
– ぼけ – boke in Manzai, the person who plays the clown (like Costello). Boke comes from 惚ける bokeru meaning 'senility' or 'forgetfulnes' [For more see 万年ボケ man nen boke] – 突っ込み – tsukkomi the person who plays the straight man (like Abbott)
The following is translated (with some additional commentary) from Wiki Japan about the History of Manzai: (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BC%AB%E6%89%8D)
This style of entertainment finds its beginnings in the Heian period (794 – 1185). It was originally a special song and dance to welcome the New Year. A two man team would visit various houses making a short speech to celebrate the New Year then one would play drums while the other dances. During the Edo period, various regions of Japan had their own Manzai (三河万歳 Mikawa Manzai, 大和万歳 Yamato Manzai, 越前万歳 Echizen Manzai, etc.). It wasn't only singing and dancing, but also included a kind of stand-up comedy. But after WWII, this type of Manzai (万歳) for the most part stopped.
During the Meji Period (1868 – 1912), the Osaka Manzai (万才)started being based on the Edo Period's Manzai (万歳). At first the new version of Manzai (万才) had musical accompaniment like the Edo Period's 万歳. The early pioneers of Manzai included many talented entertainers, but at that time Rakugo took center stage. Manzai (万才) was still secondary.
As the Taisho Era (1912 – 1926) ended, Yoshimoto Kougyou's (the main entertainment advertising company which sponsored Manzai) entertainers began a style of Manzai with the entertainers only conversing. This eventually became a big hit. In Showa 8 (1933) Youshimoto Kyougyou renamed the art form to 「漫才」 and also started Manzai in Tokyo. This is the kanji used today. Since that time, Manzai has become increasingly a part of daily Japanese life. Manzai's popularity was spread through stage, radio and later, TV.
Sharing is Caring...

ARCH Exhibition: Americans on the Road (1950-1980)
Exhibit - Multimedia | January 17 – February 2, 2018 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday | 108 Wurster Hall
College of Environmental Design
January 17-February 2
Monday-Friday 12-7pm
108 Wurster Hall (campus map)
The Fall 2017 seminar, Americans on the Road, investigated the period from 1950 to 1980 when Americans took to the road in record numbers, creating a nationwide culture of roadside tourism and commerce. At a time when driving meant freedom and pleasure, this new roadside landscape produced not only new types of space, architecture and advertising but also introduced new modes of perception, behavior and experience, transforming space and time in unprecedented ways.
This exhibition documents 12 students varied responses to this historical phenomenon with interpretations that go far beyond documentary objectivity to explore a broad range of political, social, physical, psychological and aesthetic dimensions suggested by the course material and their own interests.
