As you may (or may not, if you're a feed reader) have noticed, a few things have just changed around here. PHPDeveloper.org has made the move away from the Zend Framework over to the Solar Framework, and to answer the question of why - really it was just to try something new. We'd been using the Zend Framework since around back when it first hit the scene and felt like it was time for a change.
Paul Jones, Rodrigo Moraes, Antti Holvikari and the crew have done a fine job in producing a framework that's not only easy to use but makes building powerful web applications nice and easy. You can check out more about the framework on its site, SolarPHP.com.
That said, I'm sure there'll be a few growing pains as this new version of the site gets settled in, so bear with us. If you happen to spot something that might be an issue or just an opinion you want to share, drop us a line at email@example.com to let us know.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is most often caused by activity associated with repetitive hand motion on the job. Those most at risk, such as keyboard operators, factory workers, typists, musicians, barbers, and bus drivers, can do much to prevent development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Ergonomic specialists can help you set up your workplace to be as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Lifestyle Changes
You may reduce your chances of getting carpal tunnel syndrome by taking these steps:
According to a report published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a simple warm-up routine may greatly reduce the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The warm-up routine is as follows:
Sleeping Position
A simple change in how your wrists are positioned during sleep may reduce your risk of getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Sleep with your wrists cocked upward instead of bent downward to minimize pressure in the carpal tunnel.

In this week's LAVA meeting, the LAVA team demonstrates how new lava tool improvements simplify test creation, a new PDU daemon that can prepare our LAB PDUs for the simultaneous demands multi-node introduces, boot-testing tip x86_64 kernels in LAVA multinode and finishes with a full team demo that spawns 13 interactive hack sessions for the LAVA team during the meeting.
Review the summary below and check it out on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSBWDuBUP0I
New Features in lava-tool by Antonio Terceiro
lava testdef new demo.yaml 1. Will create a basic test definition in demo.yaml. User can edit it to add the specifics of his/her test suite.
lava testdef run demo.yaml
1. Will run the test definifion on demo.yaml agains a locally configured device. After entering the desired parameters, such as device type and image, the user can choose one of the local devices, and have that test definition run on the device. The job will start and the user can watch the run directly in the shell session.
- lava testdef submit demo.yaml
1. Will submit the test definition in demo.yaml to a chosen LAVA server.
LAVA PDU Daemon by Matt Hart
In LAVA, we use standard Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to remotely apply power to a target device. The problem is that multi-node can fire off many simultaneous PDU requests (turn all machines on (or off) at the same time.) However, not all PDUs function well in this type of an environment. Perhaps they are expected to be used much less frequently.
Matt describes a new LAVA utility, the PDU Daemon, that provides a simple socket-daemon that is used to combine accesses to the PDUs within the LAVA lab to make sure the messages are processed sequentially in to ease the burden placed on the PDU.
- The code can be retrieved from https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/matthew.hart/lavapdu.git;a=summaryhttps://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/matthew.hart/lavapdu.git;a=summary
Boot testing tip kernels on x86_64 KVMs
In addition to demonstrating the TIP kernel booting on a KVM x86_64 device, Tyler setup a great demo that combined many of the best recent features of LAVA. The demo consisted of a single multi-node job that was written to run a set of tests across 13 devices, (using beaglebone black and KVM instances in the LAVA lab). The test that these devices ran was to boot a tip kernel, launch an SSH service on the target, and allow the users to automatically connect into the test devices via standard SSH connections.
Section numbers added to Complete Log view, Milosz Wasilewski
Though there was no demo of this last feature in today's meeting, we wanted to highlight an upstream improvement from Linaro's QA Test Lead, Milosz Wasilewski. We added this contribution and now the "Complete Log" view contains Section & Line Numbers that can help a user navigate a LAVA log file, during and after a job executes. With this feature, it is easier to navigate through long multi-part LAVA test logs, identify a specific location and share that location using a direct URL.
Multi-node testing in LAVA
LAVA multi-node has almost completed the final verification and we are looking forward to releasing the also in the final production verification testing to complete ulti-node in the production instance manifest in the very near future. Make sure to look out for the release announcement in the near future.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) Ryan Aplin threw for 213 yards and a touchdown, J.D. McKissic caught 11 passes for 113 yards and Arkansas State edged No. 25 Kent State 17-13 to win the GoDaddy.com Bowl on Sunday night.
Arkansas State's usually prolific offense struggled against Kent State, but the consistent Aplin-to-McKissic connection and a stingy defense was enough to help the Red Wolves to their first bowl win since joining the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1992.
Kent State was driving late in the game when quarterback Spencer Keith tried to scramble on fourth down and was stopped a few yards short of the marker with 52 seconds left. Neither team scored a touchdown in the second half.
The Golden Flashes were playing in their first bowl game since 1972.

Vanliga frågor
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.
If you need to use a video extender with a video adapter or converter, you should position the adapter or converter as close to the video source as possible. For example, if you need to take a VGA signal from a computer and send it 200 feet to an HDMI® projector, you should convert the signal from VGA to HDMI and use an HDMI extender.
Note: For more information on when to use cables or extenders, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_when_to_convert.
No, this device is designed to be a point-to-point solution using networking cabling only.
There are a few things you'll want to take care of before you deploy your new video extender in your setup.
It's important to make sure you have everything you will need ahead of time. These items are listed below.
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Video source
- Display
- Video cables
- (Optional) Ethernet or fiber cables
- (Optional) Power adapter(s)
It's also important to test everything in a simplified setup ahead of time to make sure everything works and that you understand how it works.
In order to set up your video extender, complete the following:
- Position your video transmitter near your video source.
- Connect the video output from your video source to the video transmitter.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video transmitter.
Note: Not all video extenders require external power, or require external power on both ends. Refer to the manual for more information.
- Position your video receiver near your display.
- Connect the video output from your video receiver to your display.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video receiver.
- If using a wired video extender, connect your network cabling between the video transmitter and the video receiver.
- (Optional) If you are extending anything else supported by your video extender connect those devices to the transmitter and receiver.
- (Optional) If you are using a wireless extender, there may be a sync button you need to press to pair the transmitter and receiver.
Now that you have set up your video extender, you can check that everything is working. You should be able to see your video source's output on the display connected to the video receiver.
If at this point you have further questions regarding a Startech.com video extender, contact our technical support team for further assistance.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video extender, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video and Ethernet cables
Video extender
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI extender, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video extender from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video extender.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, extender, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
Although there are multiple video outputs on certain video extenders at StarTech.com, these do not create independent displays. Instead, the input to the video extenders with multiple outputs gets mirrored or duplicated. This is because video extenders have built-in video splitters to allow for multiple video outputs.
For more information about how mirroring works, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=video#mirror-span-extend.
Note: The ST12MHDLAN can be used to create a video wall which allows for independent displays. For more information about the ST12MHDLAN, refer to the product page for ST12MDHLAN: http://www.startech.com/ST12MHDLAN.

Estonia-founded Java productivity player ZeroTurnaround has released JRebel 4.5 and announced JRebel Social, a beta version of its coding support tool intended to help programmers directly address and cut the number of redeploys that they face.
Offered on a free basis for non-commercial usage, JRebel is productivity software designed to try and give Java developers a chance to instantly see any code change they make, without the need to build or redeploy the application itself. The company highlights the suggestions made in its own 2011 Java EE Productivity Report: redeploying alone consumes an average of 10.5 minutes of each coding hour, for most Java EE developers (over 5 work weeks each year).
Note: It is important to note that while ZeroTurnaround's above estimates appear to be quite palatable, the somewhat generically titled Java EE Productivity Report is in fact its own survey initiative.
JRebel Social beta works by delivering a JRebel license token directly to the developer once logged in via Facebook or Twitter.
JRebel 4.5, apart from JRebel Social beta, incorporates new features and updates from the last major release of JRebel 4.0 in May 2011. New additions and features include support for:
- Java 7, JBossAS 7, Apache Wink, Spring Web Services, JAXB
- Managed beans and JSF components
- Injecting EJB references into Servlets on WebLogic 10.3.x & Glassfish 3.x
- Adding new EJBs to JBoss 6
- A new embedded JRebel for IntelliJ IDEA plugin
"There are millions of Java developers who are simply fed up with redeploying every time they make any change to their application. We believe that JRebel Social beta is a great way to introduce a shocking fact …that there is a way to eradicate builds and redeploys in Java, and now it's free for non-commercial users," said ZeroTurnaround CTO and cofounder, Jevgeni Kabanov.

It's Wimbledon time so my thoughts have turned towards strawberries - I am a predictable creature! This cake was the cover star of Good Food magazine a month or so back and I stored it away for when the strawberry season was at its best.
You will often hear people complaining that strawberries don't taste like they used to…and that is true for many strawberries but I think that, if you're choosy about the variety of strawberry you buy, there are some crackers still available. If you cannot grow your own, and don't have a pick-your-own nearby, here are my tips for buying strawberries:
- Avoid any imported strawberries – I don't want to eat a strawberry that's seen more of the world than I have!
- Buy strawberries grown as locally to where you live as possible – it surely means they've not been sitting around for long?
- Take note of the variety of strawberry you like – I would rather go without than buy the tasteless Sonata variety, but a Jubilee strawberry is pretty much a guarantee of flavour.
- Smell them. A strawberry with no smell is a strawberry with no taste.
This recipe pretty much ticks all my boxes for what I like in a cake: it's made with yoghurt, it contains almonds, it uses cheesecake, and it has big chunks of fruit. It would work with many different fruits. The CCD's damson tree is looking like it's going to have a bumper harvest so I might make the cake again using damson plums.
The soft almond sponge provides a lovely texture for holding the pockets of cheesecake and strawberries. This really was one of the best cakes I've tasted in a long time...and I've tasted a lot of cakes!
For the cheesecake:
200g cream cheese – I used
25g caster sugar
1 egg
25g caster sugar
1 egg
For the cake:
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250g caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
200g self raising flour
50g ground almonds
75g natural yoghurt
250g strawberries – washed, hulled and chopped
Handful of flaked almonds
250g caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
200g self raising flour
50g ground almonds
75g natural yoghurt
250g strawberries – washed, hulled and chopped
Handful of flaked almonds
Start by making the cheesecake: beat together the cream cheese, caster sugar and egg until combined. Don't overbeat or it will turn runny – I would actually recommend doing this stage with a bowl and a spoon to control the texture of the mix better. (Mine did turn runny so I popped it into the freezer for an hour before making the cake – this turned it back to a more spoonable consistency).
If – unlike me – you haven't turned the cheesecake mix runny, spoon into a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/ 350°F/ Gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and whippy. Don't skimp on this stage – it should look almost like whipped cream.
Beat in the vanilla.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding some of the flour if it looks like the mixture will curdle.
Stir in the flour, almonds and yoghurt.
Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Spoon blobs of the chilled cheesecake mixture onto the cake. Use about half at this stage.
Scatter over half the strawberries.
Spoon the remaining cake batter over the top and level the surface. Be gentle so the strawberries stay in place.
Use your finger or the end of a wooden spoon handle to make divots in the sponge. Blob the remaining cheesecake into these spaces.
Scatter over the remaining strawberries.
Scatter over the flaked almonds.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. It is best to check after 45 minutes to see if the cake is browning too quickly; if it is cover loosely with foil and continue baking. Don't worry if your cake takes longer – mine took almost 1 hour 30 minutes, and I did need to cover it with foil.
Leave to cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes before de-tinning and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
Refrigerate the cake until 20-30 minutes before serving.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

Sady Doyle, in a characteristically thoughtful and insightful post about Sense and Sensibility (as part of a series about books by, for and about women, which also encompasses Little Women and Valley of the Dolls) calls it "a comedy about sadness, and how to get through it intact." This strikes me as an accurate but incomplete observation. Doyle is right to point out Austen's deliberate contrasting of the ways in which the Dashwood sisters, pragmatic Elinor and romantic Marianne, deal with their romantic disappointments--Marianne weeps and wails and takes to her bed and in general gives as much trouble as she can to the people who love her; Elinor conceals her pain and tries to medicate it with activity and concern for others--but the comparison between the two sisters' temperaments and outlooks is in place even before these disappointments occur. Long before she gets around to prescribing the correct way of dealing with heartbreak, Austen is prescribing the correct way of being in love. While Elinor reveals only the barest hints of her affection for Edward Ferrars, Marianne cries her love for the roguish Willoughby from the mountaintops, and whereas Elinor has other activities and interests to occupy her in Edward's absence, for Marianne, love is as feverish and all-consuming as grief.
When Marianne, in the novel's moral climax, having survived not only Willoughby's abandonment but a near-fatal illness to which her surrender to grief left her vulnerable, compares her behavior unfavorably with Elinor's, it's easy to conclude that Sense and Sensibility is, as Doyle says, a story about the choice between controlling your emotions and wallowing in them. This is not, however, the only axis on which Marianne's behavior is found wanting. As central to the novel as the question of whether to control emotion is the question of whether to display it. At first glance, it may seem that the two dilemmas can be folded into one, but to do so, we have to ignore the novel's historical context, in which the finding and getting of husbands is not simply a romantic pursuit, but a business, and sometimes a necessity of survival. In this context the question of whether to reveal, conceal, or even feign, emotion is not simply a moral one, but a matter of calculated pursuit.
It is a calculation which very nearly every character in the novel but the Dashwood sisters makes at one point or another, and which the sisters themselves find deeply mortifying. Early in the novel, the girls' mother haughtily exclaims at a neighbor's joking assertion that Marianne has Willoughby in her sights. "I do not believe ... that Mr. Willoughby will be incommoded by the attempts of either of my daughters towards what you call catching him. It is not an employment to which they have been brought up. Men are very safe with us, let them be ever so rich." So that when Marianne rejects Elinor's criticism of the uninhibited display of her affection for Willoughby, she's doing so not simply because of her self-absorbed determination to impose her feelings on her general surroundings, but because she takes Elinor's reproach as an admonition to stick by the Regency version of The Rules--play hard to get, make the guy jump through hoops of gold before you show any affection. Similarly, Elinor's growing closeness to Edward, and later on her friendship with Colonel Brandon, are perceived by both her friends and enemies as an attempts to draw the two men in and land herself a wealthy husband. With romantic and mercenary considerations so intimately linked, it's no wonder that both of the Dashwood sisters find it difficult to know just where the happy medium between too demonstrative and too reserved is.
Against Elinor and Marianne's struggle to behave honorably in the unforgiving arena of husband-hunting, Austen sets the character of Lucy Steele (or, more precisely, she sets Lucy and her sister Nancy, who like the Dashwood sisters make up a duo of one observant, controlled sister, and one demonstrative, unheeding one). To the unsuspecting observer, Lucy preforms the role of the perfect fusion of the two sisters--romantically overcome by Edward's charms like Marianne, and cautiously concealing their attachment and planning for their future like Elinor--and this is only one of the many performances--of helplessness, gratitude, self-sacrifice, generosity, and regard for others--that Lucy puts on in order to secure the affections and support of everyone she meets in her single-minded pursuit of financial security. And the thing is, I love her. She is Austen's most fascinating villain, and may well be one of her most interesting characters.
In my first rereading of Sense and Sensibility as an adult, I was bowled away by Lucy, and by the impression she creates of there being a shadow novel, a sort of proto-Vanity Fair starring Lucy in the Becky Sharpe role, stomping over broken hearts and ruined lives on her way to respectability. Lucy plays the game that Elinor and Marianne are too proud to acknowledge like a pro, taking advantage of vanity and honesty alike in her manipulations of everyone she meets. The scene in which she confides with Elinor about her engagement to Edward is a tiny masterpiece of psychological torture, with Lucy, always simpering with deference and feigned simplicity, hammering in one proof after another of her claim on Edward while subtly sowing doubts in Elinor's heart as to Edward's feelings for her and his character. In so doing, she places Elinor in the position of having to not only impassively listen to accounts of Edward's engagement to another woman, but to assist in that engagement's consummation, for fear of giving away her true feelings and compromising her honor. Though it's probably giving Lucy too much credit to say that she engineers the Ferrarses' making a pet of her as a way of slighting Elinor, whom they believe to be the object of Edward's affection, she certainly doesn't fail to take advantage of the situation, and when her engagement is revealed and Edward is cast off by his family with nothing, she leverages even that debacle to her advantage, and ends up married to his now independently wealthy brother Robert. We never get a glimpse of Lucy's internal monologue, and her external one is deliberately insipid, but given this virtuoso performance it's hard not to suspect that that placid exterior conceals a sharp intellect and keen powers of observation--Elizabeth Bennet on her meanest day, or Mary Crawford at her most designing, except much coarser (though that coarseness probably has something to do with having had to claw her way even to the genteel poverty that Elinor and Marianne take for granted)--and even Elinor, though despising Lucy's methods, acknowledges her skills, calls her "better than half her sex," and envisions Edward's life with her as comfortable and well-managed, albeit loveless.
Alone among Austen's villains and romantic rivals, Lucy triumphs, and not only does she triumph, but so complete is her victory that she can afford to be magnanimous in it, and let small fry Edward go while she enjoys the bigger fish she's landed. The letter in which she releases Edward from their engagement is, once again, a tiny masterpiece, and in its own way may very well be the most honest piece of communication between men and women in any of Austen's novels:
Being sure I have long lost your affections, I have thought myself at liberty to bestow my own on another, and have no doubt of being as happy with him as I once used to think I might be with you; but I scorn to accept a hand while the heart was another's. Sincerely wish you happy in your choice, and it shall not be my fault if we are not always good friendsYou don't love me any more than I love you, Lucy is saying, and we both know it. And since I've found someone better, I feel free to behave dishonorably, secure in the knowledge that such behavior will make both of us very happy. And the fact is, Lucy may very well end up the happiest of any of the novel's characters. Or rather, she ends up with exactly what she set out to have, and is about as happy as a woman whose greatest aspiration is wealth and position could ever hope to be. Elinor and Marianne, meanwhile, are forced into compromises. Elinor marries a man she loves, but their style of living will always be pitiful compared to the expectations they both grew up with. Marianne marries a wealthy man whom she respects and admires, but whom she does not come to love until some time after their marriage (and it's never sat very well with me, the way Austen describes the growth of that love--it's hard not to see it, as the Emma Thompson version paints it, as a flight to safety by someone who has been grievously wounded and finds themselves more in need of a parent than a lover). Willoughby, meanwhile, is miserable in his choice, but not forever--"His wife was not always out of humour, nor his home always uncomfortable! and in his breed of horses and dogs, and in porting of every kind, he found no inconsiderable degree of domestic felicity."
Sense and Sensibility ends, therefore, with a complete rejection of the romantic ethos. There is not a single traditionally romantic couple to be found at the end of the novel, unless one counts Elinor and Edward, who from the get go are described as unusually unaffectionate, and whose courtship and infatuation happen entirely off-page, so that the readers' romantic gratification is denied even by their union. This is clearly deliberate, and sits well with the raw, uncompromising nature of many of the plot elements Austen employs. The Dashwood sisters are the poorest of Austen's heroines, their situation the most desperate, their prospects the grimmest. The specter of premarital sex and illegitimate children, which haunts several other of her novels, is here on full display in the person of Colonel Brandon's lost love and her daughter, who is seduced and ruined by Willoughby. Marianne very nearly dies. There's an undertone of anger at the very notion of a romantic disposition, which seems to prioritize the mercenary aspect of husband-hunting over the romantic one.
Which is why I find it difficult to accept Doyle's reading of the novel as an admonition against being mastered by emotion. It seems to me to go much further, and caution against being guided by it at all. In all of Austen's novels, there's a tension between the romantic text and the decidedly unromantic subtext, but in Sense and Sensibility the two seem to be almost at war. This is probably in keeping with Austen's own character, which was likely much closer to the cynical, money-obsessed spinster from the miniseries Miss Austen Regrets than the starry-eyed romantic she was made out to be in Becoming Jane, but also makes for an uncomfortable read in the early 21st century. Though I certainly wouldn't say that money no longer plays any factor in courtship, or that games of control and manipulation have disappeared in the wake of feminism and the sexual revolution (the very existence of The Rules, and more recently of seduction manuals, gives the lie to that claim), Sense and Sensibility's moral feels more of its own time than any of Austen's other novels. It's hard not to feel that when Marianne says to Elinor that she compares her behavior "with what it ought to have been; I compare it with yours" that what she's saying is that she should have played hard to get and waited for an engagement ring. That's a little more unromantic than I can comfortably stomach.
