Introduction to Qt Quick for C++ Developers
Today's consumers and enterprise users are tough to please. They grew up using slick UIs on their game consoles and seeing even fancier UIs at the movies. Specifications and feature lists alone are no longer selling points; they are means to an end. Visual impact and experience WOW are the selling points that matter today, and the consumer expects this visual delight whether they are using a powerful corporate notebook computer, a set-top box, or a mobile device.
Delivering this experience requires designers and developers to work together like never before. Gone are the days where designers can throw pixel maps over the wall and expect developers to implement their vision. So too are the days when developers could code purely for performance without regard to visual appeal. Design/development/test must become an iterative cycle, not a linear path.
Qt Quick is built for the way product teams work today. Core business logic is coded by developers and optimized for performance, the interface is crafted by designers working with visual tools, and integrated tooling supports round-trip iteration between the disciplines.
Qt Quick delivers performance because it builds on the Qt application and UI framework. The Qt framework is known for high runtime performance and small footprint, making it ideal for mobile, embedded, and netbook applications.
Qt Quick extends the Qt framework with QML, a declarative language that codes the way designers think. Each frame of a story board is declared as a branch in an element tree; each visual aspect of a frame is declared as a property of elements on the branch; each transition between frames can be decorated with a variety of animations and effects.
Qt Quick includes Qt Creator, a development environment built for collaboration between designers and developers. Designers work in a visual environment, developers work in a full-featured IDE, and Qt Creator supports round-trip iteration from design, to code, to test, and back to design.
Qt Quick Overview
Qt Quick consists of the QML language, the QtDeclarative C++ module that integrates the QML language with C++ objects, and the Qt Creator tool that now includes extensions to support the environment. Qt Quick helps programmers and designers collaborate to build the fluid user interfaces that are becoming common in portable consumer devices, such as mobile phones, media players, set-top boxes and netbooks. Using the QtDeclarative C++ module, you can load and interact with QML files from your Qt application.
QML provides mechanisms to declaratively build an object tree using QML elements. QML improves the integration between JavaScript and Qt's existing QObject based type system, adds support for automatic property bindings and provides network transparency at the language level.
QML elements are a sophisticated set of graphical and behavioral building blocks. These different elements are combined together in QML documents to build components ranging in complexity from simple buttons and sliders, to complete internet-enabled applications like a Flickr photo browser.
Qt Quick builds on Qt's existing strengths. QML can be used to incrementally extend an existing application or to build completely new applications. QML is fully extensible from C+ through the QtDeclarative module.
Qt Creator's user interface for creating Qt Quick components
A short introduction to QML
QML is a rich language, and a full treatment is beyond the scope of this paper. This paper will instead provide an introduction to what QML can do and how to integrate QML with C+ to get the best of both worlds: high-performance business logic built in C++ and highly dynamic user interfaces using QML. A full treatment of QML is available in the online documentation.Understanding QML begins with the concept of elements. An element is a template for a basic building block out of which a QML program will be built. QML supports for example visual elements of types Rectangle and Text, interaction elements of type
Visual elements: Hello World
Enough text; it's time for the obligatory Hello World example. Here is the code required to place the text Hello World on top of a simple background rectangle:
import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
width: 300
height: 200
Text {
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
text: "Hello World"
Snippet: Hello World
Let's dissect this simple code. The Hello World example is a QML document, meaning it is a complete block of QML source code, ready to run. QML documents generally correspond to plain text files stored on a disk or network resource, but can also be constructed directly from text data.
A QML document always begins with one or more import statements. Here you see the import of Qt 4.7. To prevent elements introduced in later versions from affecting existing QML documents, the element types available within a document are controlled by the imported QML Modules. That is, QML is a versioned language.
Next you see the Rectangle element template used to create an active object. Objects can contain other objects, creating parent-child relationships. In the code above, the Rectangle object is parent to the Text object. The Rectangle element also defines a top-level window for managing the visual bounds and focus segmentation of the full UI.
Within objects, properties are bound to values using the property : expression statement. There are two aspects of this statement that bear explanation.
Firstly, expression is a JavaScript expression, which means you could set the properties based on a calculation, a condition, or other complex JavaScript manipulations. For example, you could set the aspect ratio of the rectangle based on the value of a variable orientation.
Secondly, binding is different from assignment. In an assignment, the value of a property is set when the assignment statement is executed and is fixed thereafter until and unless the statement is executed again. In a binding, a property is set when the binding statement is first executed, but will change if and when the result of the expression used to set the property changes. (If desired, you could assign a value to the property using property = expression inside a JavaScript block.)
Consider what happens when orientation changes from portrait to landscape (possibly because of a sensor within a mobile device). Because of property bindings, the aspect ratio of the parent rectangle will change and the text element anchors will react to the change to re-center the text.The
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
Text {
id: label
anchors.horizontalCenter: pic.horizontalCenter
anchors.top: pic.bottom
anchors.topMargin: 5
Snippet: Use anchors to align elements
Layering visual elementsQML visual elements can be layered on top of each other with transparency using
opacity : real
The following snippet produces two offset and overlapping rectangles, one red and one blue, with transparency invoked such that the overlapping square will be purple. Notice how the child (blue) rectangle inherits the 50% opacity from its parent (red) rectangle.
Rectangle {
opacity: 0.5
color: "red"
width: 100; height: 100
Rectangle {
color: "blue"
x: 50; y: 50; width: 100; height: 100
Snippet: Use transparency sparingly
Interaction elements: mouse and touchTo add mouse or touch interaction you need to add a
To introduce a mouse region to the Hello World example, the rectangle containing the text is made a child of a new rectangle that will define the mouse area.
import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
color: "#ff0000"
width: 310
height: 210
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
if (parent.color == "#ff0000") {
parent.color = "#ff9900";
} else {
parent.color = "#ff0000";
Rectangle {
width: 300
height: 200
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
Text {
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
text: "Hello World"
Snippet: Mouse-touch interaction
MouseArea::onClicked (mouse)
State DeclarationsQML State declarations define a set of property value changes from the base state. The base state is the initial declaration of property values, and is expressed by using an empty string as the state name. After a state change you can always revert to the base state by assigning an empty string to the
In the following snippet, states for the two colors are implemented. In the definition of the red rectangle, the id property is set. Named objects can be referenced by siblings or descendants. Two states are also defined: red and orange. The state property is assigned to give the element an initial state.State elements include a
id: buttonRect;
state: "red"
State {
name: "red"
when: mouseArea.pressed true
PropertyChanges {
target: buttonRect;
color: "red";
width: 80; height: 40
State {
name: "orange"
when: mouseArea.pressed false
PropertyChanges {
target: buttonRect;
color: "#ff9900";
width: 120; height: 80
Snippet: Define states
The defined state not only sets the color for each state, but also the width and height of the rectangle. The orange state provides a larger button. To utilize the states, the mouse region onClicked JavaScript is updated.
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
if (parent.state == "red") {
parent.state = "orange"
} else {
parent.state = "red";
Snippet: Simple state transitions
It is possible to define a set of states using code, as in this example, or using the graphical Qt Quick Designer component in Qt Creator.
To create animations between states, transition elements are defined. Transition elements can use the information from the base state and the target state to interpolate the property changes using Animation elements. Animation elements in turn can use a number of different parametrized easing curves and grouping techniques, giving the developer and designer a high degree of control over how and when properties change during a state transition. This is discussed in further detail later on.
QML components
The discussion of the Hello World snippet described the contents of a QML document. How a QML document is named also matters. A QML document name that begins with an uppercase case letter defines a single, top-level QML component. A QML component is a template that is interpreted by the QML runtime to create an object with some predefined behaviour. As it is a template, a single QML component can be "run" multiple times to produce several objects, each of which are said to be instances of the component.Once created, instances are not dependent on the component that created them, so they can operate on independent data. Here is an example of a simple
import Qt 4.7
Column {
spacing: 10
Button { text: "Apple" }
Button { text: "Orange" }
Button { text: "Pear" }
Button { text: "Grape" }
Snippet: Use the button four times with different text properties
import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
property alias text: textItem.text
width: 100; height: 30
border.width: 1
radius: 5
smooth: true
gradient: Gradient {
GradientStop { position: 0.0; color: "darkGray" }
GradientStop { position: 0.5; color: "black" }
GradientStop { position: 1.0; color: "darkGray" }
Text {
id: textItem
anchors.centerIn: parent
font.pointSize: 20
color: "white"
Snippet: The Button.qml file creates a button component
- Note: QML documents may also create components inline using the element.
Animation elements: fluid transitions
Animation effects are key to a fluid UI. In QML, animations are created by applying animation objects to object property values to gradually change them over time. Animation objects are created from the built-in set of animation elements, which can be used to animate various types of property values. In addition, animation objects can be applied in different ways depending on the context in which they are required.
There is a detailed treatment of animation in QML in the online documentation. As an introduction, let's consider transitions.The following snippet shows the code to animate the movement of a rectangle. The snippet creates a
import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
id: rect
width: 100; height: 100
color: "red"
states: State {
name: "moved"
PropertyChanges { target: rect; x: 50; y: 50 }
transitions: Transition {
PropertyAnimation {
properties: "x,y";
easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
Snippet: Animated state transitions
You can apply multiple transitions to an item as in the following snippet. (Remember anything you can do to an item you can do to a
Item {
Transition { … }
Transition { … }
Snippet: Multiple transitions
Model-View pattern in QML
Using QML in a model-view design pattern is a natural. QML can create fluid, visually appealing views into models whether the models are created in C++ or directly in QML.QML currently provides three elements devoted to creating views into models. The
Let's create two different views into the same model — a basic contact list.You can build models directly in QML using the ListModel element among others. The following snippet shows how to create a contacts model where each contact record includes a name, a phone number, and an icon. Each element in the list is defined by a
import Qt 4.7
ListModel {
ListElement {
name: "Bill Jones"
number: "+1 800 555 1212"
icon: "pics/qtlogo.png"
ListElement {
name: "Jane Doe"
number: "+1 800 555 3434"
icon: "pics/qtlogo.png"
ListElement {
name: "John Smith"
number: "''1 800 555 5656"
icon: "pics/qtlogo.png"
Snippet: Defining a List Model in QML
p.The following snippet uses the
import Qt 4.7
ListView {
width: 180; height: 200
model: ContactModel {}
delegate: Text {
text: name'' ": " + number
Snippet: List view into contact model
Now let's get a little fancier and build a view into the contacts model that looks like a 3D carousel and allows the user to flick her way through the list. The resulting view and code is shown in the following snippet . Note the creation of an inline component for use as the delegate property in the
import Qt 4.7
Rectangle {
width: 240; height: 200
Component {
id: delegate
Column {
Image { anchors.horizontalCenter:
width: 64; height: 64;
source: icon
Text { text: name; font.pointSize: 16 }
PathView {
anchors.fill: parent
model: ContactModel {}
delegate: delegate
path: Path {
startX: 120; startY: 100
PathQuad { x: 120; y: 25; controlX: 260; controlY: 75 }
PathQuad { x: 120; y: 100; controlX: -20; controlY: 75 }
Snippet: Rotating carousel view into contact model
Using Qt Quick in C++ applications
Qt Quick comes with its own run-time and enables loading new functionality via modules, making it possible to develop applications built entirely with QML. However, the real strength of Qt Quick is the ability to integrate it into a C++ application.
For the most basic needs, for example integrating a QML view into a C++ project, the QDeclarativeView widget can be used. It is derived from a QGraphicsView but also includes the required components to host a QML application. Alternatively, you can simply make new C++ types available to the QML runtime through plugins, and these types can do anything your C++ application can do.
For more complex situations, how you proceed depends on from how the C++ code is built.
If you are starting with an application based on C++ widgets, you can reuse all your graphics assets and re-factor the QWidgets to QML. Since you already have the full interaction and design work done, developing and coding the QML is relatively easy.
If you are instead starting with an application based on a QGraphicsView, the conversion process is even easier and can proceed in stages. The entire QML application can be inserted into an existing graphics view by instantiating a QML engine. If desired, the QML interface can co-exist with the existing user interface and allow the conversion process to proceed in steps.
The following snippet shows the three steps required to add a QML engine and context to an existing QGraphicsView. First create an environment for instantiating QML components using the QDeclarativeEngine class, then encapsulate a QML component definition using QDeclarativeComponent. Finally, the resulting QGraphicsObject can be added to the existing scene and co-exist with the rest of the user interface.
QGraphicsScene *scene = …;
QDeclarativeEngine *engine = new QDeclarativeEngine;
QDeclarativeComponent component(engine, QUrl::fromLocalFile(…));
QGraphicsObject '''object =
Snippet: Adding a QML engine to QGraphicsView
If the component fails to load the QML file, the
qWarning() << component.errors();
To align the user interfaces it is possible to transform the QGraphicsObject and adjust the z-value to place it at the right depth in the scene. In order to achieve the optimal performance for the QML part of the user interface, the following options are recommended to be set.
QGraphicsView *view = …;
Snippet: Optimizing QML interface performance
Although combining an existing graphics view-based user interface with QML is possible, it is recommended to convert the entire experience to Qt Quick.
Sharing data between C++ and QML
Qt Quick provides numerous ways to share data between C++ and QML with or without implementing a formal model-view design pattern. It is also possible to trigger calls to QML functions from C++ and vice-versa. In general, exposing a QObject will make all of its signals, slots and properties available to the QML environment.All QML code executes within a context. The context keeps track of what data is available to different leaves and nodes in a QML object tree. Data is shared as context properties or context objects. A context property is simply a way to expose a given QObject through a given name. For example, to expose a QColor property named
QDeclarativeContext *context = …;
context->setContextProperty("frameColor", QColor(Qt::red));
Rectangle {
border.color: frameColor
It is possible to add multiple context properties to a QDeclarativeContext object, but as the list of properties climbs the readability of the code crumbles. Instead of setting each property individually, it is cleaner to gather all context properties into one QObject and set the single object as the context object instead.The following snippet shows how to define the interface object
Note that all properties added explicitly by QDeclarativeContext::setContextProperty() take precedence over the context object's default properties.
class MyInterface : … {
Q_PROPERTY(QAbstractItemModel *myModel READ model NOTIFY modelChanged)
MyInterface *myInterface = new MyInterface;
QDeclarativeEngine engine;
QDeclarativeContext *context = new
QDeclarativeComponent component(&engine;);
component.setData("import Qt 4.7\nListView { model: myModel }", QUrl());
Snippet: Defining an interface using setContextProperty()
QML views into C++ models
Object properties work well when providing a limited set of values to QML, but are difficult to manage when large data sets are involved. In these cases formal models are visualized with formal views. This model/view design pattern allows developers to separate the implementation of user interface from business logic, supporting the model-view design pattern. The model can be implemented in C++ while the view is coded in QML.
QML can create views into C++ models that are exposed using the QAbstractItemModel interface.
To expose a QAbstractItemModel to QML a context property is used:
QAbstractItemModel *model = …;
context->setContextProperty("dataModel", model);
QML / C++ program flow
Qt Quick allows QML to call C++ methods and allows C++ signals to be handled by JavaScript expressions within the QML context.
Calling C++ methods from QMLIn order to feedback data from the user to the business logic, QML must be able to call C++ methods. This is achieved through slots or
For example, the following QObject derived class is added to the QML context.
class CallableClass : public QObject
public slots:
void cppMethod() { qDebug("C++ method called!"); }
context->setContextProperty("cppObject", new CallableClass);
The QML code then can refer to the cppMethod method using the cppObject global object. In this example the method in question returns no value nor accepts any arguments, but that is not a limitation of QML. Both return values and arguments of the types supported by QML are supported.
MouseArea {
onClicked: {
Qt signal to QML handlerQt C++ signals can be handled by JavaScript executing in a QML context. For instance, the
class CallableClass : public QObject
void cppSignal();
Connections {
target: cppObject
onCppSignal: { console.log("QML function called!"); }
Extending QML from C++QML has built-in support for an extensive set of element types, but when application-specific needs pop up it is possible to extend QML with custom element types built in C+. For example, let's say you have a burning desire for a QML element called
class Person : public QObject
Q_PROPERTY(QString name READ name WRITE setName)
Q_PROPERTY(int shoeSize READ shoeSize WRITE setShoeSize)
Person(QObject *parent = 0);
QString name() const;
void setName(const QString &);
int shoeSize() const;
void setShoeSize(int);
QString m_name;
int m_shoeSize;
Declare a Person class
Person::Person(QObject '''parent)
: QObject(parent), m_shoeSize(0)
QString Person::name() const
return m_name;
void Person::setName(const QString &n)
m_name = n;
int Person::shoeSize() const
return m_shoeSize;
void Person::setShoeSize(int s)
m_shoeSize = s;
Snippet: Define the Person class
#include <QtDeclarative>
qmlRegisterType<Person>("People", 1, 0, "Person");
import People 1.0
Person {
name: "Bob Jones"
shoeSize: 12

Drake's Dad Tries To Track Down Tiffany 'New York' Pollard After a 'Magical' Night At Wendy Williams' Dinner Party

You've got to admire Jada Pinkett Smith. Her parenting tactics might seem radical to some, but she's standing her ground and not afraid to speak her mind. In her latest interview with Hello Beautiful, the actress talks about raising Willow to be the woman she wants to be and acknowledging that she is her own "free" person. She also explained that by allowing her children certain freedoms early in life, they'll be better prepared to handle adulthood.
"I just think of parenting as this: I don't believe until waiting until a child is 18 to throw them to the world," Pinkett Smith said. "I'd rather have kids in my house with me, building out certain freedoms as you go, and being there with them in my house while they are exercising these certain freedoms so that we can be in the process of these freedoms together. When my children are 18, they will be fine. I don't have to worry about them. Life starts when you pop out of the womb, and that's what I believe!"
Pinkett Smith criticized those who hate on young girls with the freedoms and self-confidence they don't possess themselves, saying women need to start being the women they want to be and raising their daughters to do the same.
"When people see little people free, it pisses them off because they don't have it for themselves and they use the excuse that she's too young! No, no! What's too young is Willow going out driving a car, or staying out till 12 o'clock at night — that's what she's too young for! But hair? Cut it off! It was really a beautiful thing for her; it was the best decision I made. Because [for her] it was like, 'my mother trusts me enough to give me the room to trust that I know what I need for myself at this time;' she totally blossomed from that minute on. That's when I saw her become herself, and she's been on that path ever since. I think as women, we have to stop being scared to be the women we want to be and we have to raise our daughters to be the women they want to be — not the women we think they should be. Willow is not me."

Renewable Integration (SE-91)
Ontario's Long Term Energy Plan reinforces the investment focus on renewable generation under the Green Energy and Green Economy Act (GEA) and the Ontario Power Authority's Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program. The Plan acknowledges the significant commitments made to date - 5,800 MW of variable generation projects, primarily wind, are underway and are expected to be in commercial operation by the end of 2012, with 10,700 MW targeted for 2018.
The IESO needs to be in a position to register and incorporate this variable generation into power system operations and IESO-administered markets. This stakeholder initiative will discuss design principles for forecasting, dispatch, visibility and future markets for wind and solar generation, as appropriate. This initiative builds on the forecasting work previously done in Renewable and Embedded Generation (SE-57).
Renewable Integration is of interest to many stakeholders. Local distribution companies, generators of all types (particularly wind and solar generators), and energy agencies, will have the most interest in this initiative, and its related policies, standards, and market rule changes.
This stakeholder engagement plan has been developed to define the opportunity for stakeholder involvement in the integration of renewable generation.

Moose Blues is over! And it was fantastic! I had a really great time seeing everyone enjoying themselves, learning and dancing until late at night :D
Moose Blues is very close to my heart because three years ago Francesca, Elin and I started it. When I moved to Oslo there was no blues dancing scene and I really wanted to have one. I befriended Elin and Francesca, who also loved blues so we banded together with the goal of building a fun, inclusive and sustainable blues dance scene. Over the past three years we have organized many smaller workshops and taught classes and tasters together to bring this dance to as many as we can but our crowning jewel is definitely Moose Blues.
Every year we aspire to bring you the best dancing, the best music and the best aspects of Norwegian culture we can. We're very proud of what we have accomplished and there are so many people around us who support us in bringing this festival forward. I really hope that next year we keep on going forward at the pace we have set. To use internet slang: I is hype!
Today I want to share some of the videos that I took during Moose Blues. Of course I recorded the teacher's introduction and their performances but it was also Ruth's birthday this weekend so I recorded her birthday jam too. On the troll adventure on Saturday Maren and Dag Are sang a beautiful Norwegian lullaby. These videos are bundled into a nifty playlist for your viewing pleasure :)
Providing live music this weekend was the amazing Dan Nash. This guy is incredible, he has been playing for the blues dance community for many years. I was shocked to search YouTube and found few good videos of his performances. Most are just bad phone videos, some have bad white balance and some are good but just boring. I thought this should change because this guy deserves to be heard and everyone deserves to hear him!
During the event I recorded most of his performance and made another playlist of those songs. I don't have all of them edited yet so come back later because the playlist will grow a lot!
I took almost all of the videos with my 14mm Samyang lens with it's characteristic super wide angle. This gives the videos a super cool exaggerated depth. Things that are closer are dispreportionately large and farther away is dispreportionately smaller. You can especially see this when people get close to the lens (Mike and Dan's performance comes to mind specifically). I'll do a review of this lens at a later point. Leave a comment below if you think I should do a blog post review with lots of examples or if I should do a video review.

This is a self-guided experience; spectators can listen in on the video-projection installations by downloading the app.
Got it. What's going to stick with you, weeks or months or years from now? Anything especially memorable?
The stories on display here have themes and values central to Montreal's identity. You'll learn about Marguerite Bourgeoys, the French founder of the Congregation of Notre Dame of Montreal, as well as sports icons Jackie Robinson and Maurice Richard. There are also tableaux about The Jewish Children's Transport train (the orphans who survived Nazi concentration camps and were adopted by Montrealers); the burning of the Parliament in Montreal in 1849; Montreal's fabled Sin City era (set to the rhythm of Montrealer and jazz icon Oscar Peterson's piano).
That sounds pretty powerful. Last question: Who should take this tour?
The tour is best suited to adults and young adults—it's history-centric and there's a lot of walking.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY -- Tuolumne County is one of four California counties that remain under a drought emergency.
Despite one of the wettest winters on record, wells in Tuolumne County remain dry because they are either contaminated or the county's ground water supply hasn't been replenished yet.
In Tuolumne County, 128 homes rely on the county to provide water by delivery. The program is paid for by California's emergency drought funding.
Those deliveries are set to continue at least until June. Residents in the county still have to comply with state regulations. For example, delivered water can't be used for lawn maintenance.
Governor Jerry Brown lifted the statewide emergency on Friday, but warned the state to be prepared in case drought conditions return.

Progress towards solving some of our biggest social and environmental problems has been painfully slow. Despite over 40 years of knowing about climate change and negative human impact on the planet, we are still ignoring the facts, the 'Circular Economy' is still a foreign concept to many and I feel that we are only scratching the surface of some of our deeply ingrained social issues such as gender equality.

A self-inflicted contract fiasco: City engaged in unfair labor practices by breaking own rules
News-Miner opinion: The city of Fairbanks has gotten itself into a pickle. A labor contract with the city's public safety union was passed last year, then later rescinded by the City Council. Now the state Labor Relations Agency's board has found the city's actions violated rules against unfair labor practices and ordered the contract go into effect as originally negotiated. It's a fiasco that is likely to mean added costs for the city and its residents — and it's entirely of the council's own making.
In late summer 2014, the Public Safety Employees Association, which represents the police officers and other personnel associated with the Fairbanks Police Department, came to an agreement with the city on terms for a new three-year contract. The terms were strong for the union — a 10 percent pay raise, a one-time retroactive payment of $1,750 and an additional $250 monthly health contribution per member. Work weeks would be reduced from 40 to 36 hours per week, and members of more than 10 years would have leave increased from 240 to 300 hours per year.
The measure came before the Fairbanks City Council for a vote. After vigorous discussion, the contract passed 4-3 — the six members of the council were split evenly, so Mayor John Eberhart cast the deciding vote. Two days later, Councilman Jim Matherly, who had supported the contract's passage in the initial vote, filed for reconsideration. Had he filed a day earlier, the city would not be in its current position today.
But the city's rules clearly state reconsideration requests must come within a day after the vote. So the council voted to suspend its rules and revote on the contract anyway, whereupon it was rejected unanimously. The union lodged a complaint of unfair labor practices almost immediately.
In a Community Perspective penned for the News-Miner, councilman Matherly explained his decision to opt for reconsideration as being motivated by a desire for more fiscal responsibility. There's no reason to doubt this was the case. Several who spoke against the contract in its initial form before it was passed spoke specifically about the shift in the work week from 40 to 36 hours. They said it would increase the potential for overtime pay, making it a short of shadow pay increase for public safety employees.
But there was a greater principle the city sacrificed in deciding to suspend its rules and reject the contract despite the fact the window for reconsideration had passed. Doing so sent a signal that the city is willing to change or do away with the rules in order to get what it wants, the essence of negotiating in bad faith. The Alaska Labor Relations Agency recognized this, and rightly decided the city had no right to go back on its decision in the manner that it did.
Though the difference in time from what's allowable was relatively minor — one extra day — what matters is the violation of the principle, not the extent to which it was violated. The contract may well be a disadvantageous one for the city, but that doesn't excuse shenanigans after it had passed through the ratification process. City officials and council members had ample time to review and debate the contract before the initial vote. The News-Miner and other media had reported on the major tenets of the contract, particularly the alteration to the work week. Nothing came as a surprise that might have required time for further review.
There's a saying that "close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. It certainly doesn't count in labor contract negotiations that affect the salaries of the entire police department. The city should abide by the Labor Relations Agency board's ruling and swallow the medicine it prepared for itself rather than appeal and drag out the process.

Actinidia chinensis
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program under the direction of the inventor, Donald Alfred Skelton, a citizen of New Zealand. The seed parent is the unpatented, proprietary seedling variety Actinidia chinensis 'A87'. The pollen parent is the unpatented, proprietary seedling variety referred to as Actinidia chinensis 'A20'. The crossing was made by the inventor during 1992.
Fruit of the new variety was first evaluated in 1995 with favorable results. After the first evaluation, semi-hardwood cuttings were made of 'KZ02' and were grafted onto seedling rootstocks of A. deliciosa. Evaluation, asexual propagation and grafting all first took place at a research nursery in North Waikato, New Zealand. Subsequent evaluations of the variety have shown the characteristics to be true to type.
The cultivar 'KZ02' has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions.
The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of 'KZ02' These characteristics in combination distinguish 'KZ02' as a new and distinct Actinidia chinensis cultivar:
1. Heavy bearer
2. Consistent fruit shape
3. Medium plant vigor.
4. Precocious
5. Flowering late April, early May
6. Inner pericarp coloration near Yellow 4A
The new variety is similar to the seed parent variety in some horticultural characteristics. However, the new variety differs in the following;
1. The new variety has an oblong fruit shape, compared to the ovoid parent fruit.
2. The new variety produces mature fruit during mid-season, compared to late season fruiting of the seed parent.
3. Fruit of the new variety is much larger than that of the seed parent
4. The new variety flowers mid-season, the seed parent flowers early season.
The new variety can be compared to the pollen parent variety, however, the plants clearly differ, as the new variety is a fruit producing female plant and the pollen parent is a non-fruiting male plant. Additionally, the new variety differs in the following;
1. The new variety flowers later than the pollen parent variety.
2. No fruit is produced by the pollen parent.
The new variety is best compared to the commercial variety, 'ZESY002', U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,355. 'KZ02' is similar to 'ZESY002' in many horticultural characteristics, however, 'KZ02' differs in the following:
1. Ploidy; the new variety is a diploid, 'ZESY002' is a tetraploid.
2. The new variety flowers mid season, this comparator flowers late season.
3. The new variety produces fruit with a brigher yellow(4A) inner pericarp, compared to 8D of this comparator.
The new variety can be compared to the commercial variety 'Y368', U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,721. 'KZ02' is similar to 'Y368' in many horticultural characteristics, however, 'KZ02' differs in the following:
1. The new variety flowers mid season, this comparator flowers early season.
2. The new variety produces mature fruit mid season, this comparator produces mature fruit early season.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color examples of typical fruits of 'KZ02', while on the plant, as well as typical foliage. This figure illustrates the heavy bearing characteristics of the variety. FIG. 2 illustrates fruit harvested from 'KZ02'. FIG. 3 shows the front and back sides of the flowers. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe 'KZ02' plants grown outdoors under commercial trial conditions in Rangiriri, New Zealand. The growing temperature ranged from 10° C. to 30° C. during the day and −3° C. to 15° C. at night. Annual rainfall is approximately 125 cm per year. Measurements and numerical values represent an average of 10 typical plant types, measurements of foliage taken from mid June to mid August.

Not all soils are created equal. Just inside Rapid City's boundaries, for example, the northeast soils are much more challenging to gardeners than those on the west side of town. And what's a gardener to do? Amend, amend, amend. Some gardeners build their own compost piles or buy soil amendments. Others head to the landfill, where not only lawn and yard waste is composted, but also household garbage.
The Pennington County Master Gardeners are holding a garden walk on Sunday, June 25. Harley Paulson says there are six gardens to be toured, all in the Sheridan Lake Road area. It starts at 12:30 p.m. and costs $5. For more details, go to one of these websites:

A dehumidifier is a mechanism used to desiccate the moist air and to avoid mold encounters. A dehumidifier also helps in drying up any particular area (floor) or corner of a room. In countries, where the weather is rainy and damp throughout the year, dehumidifiers work as condensers too.
A dehumidifier can work as a trouble free system that you can operate easily. It is portable in size and the drainage system has to be systematic with the drainage system of the house for proper working. A dehumidifier saves any kind of extra time for cleaning the toxic elements and also helps in keeping the house clean and free from molds.
Destroy Mold:
It is imperative to eradicate mold once you notice it. So there are various ways to eliminate mold. Mold can grow anyplace . It needs a bit of water and air to survive. Once in a while it evolves without the awareness of the property owner.
One should start with taking care of any leak that is causing dampish environment. Utilization of exhaust fans can really help in disposing of the damp presence from the kitchen area or bath to relieve mold expansion.
Escalate the circulation of air in the spaces, precisely where there is more volume of moisture content to do away with likely mold progress in that area. As a final point, a dehumidifier is the most suitable instrument to eradicate mold in its earlier growth stages.
In subsequent stages of visible mold, that may be at the bottom of wall surfaces or in air ducts, skilled Mold removal experts ought to be gotten in touch with. Find Mold. You are certain to spot mold in your home if any person reports that some allergic reaction symptoms disappear completely immediately after they relocate out of your house.
Another indication that you may find mold is a mildewy odor. The majority of the experts too trust their nose to locate mold. An additional quick process to find mold is to look into the origin of moisture or the origin of water issue.
Mold develops in dampness. In case you presume the mold inside the wall, you may make a cavity within the wall and check the dust particles to discover mold. You can find mold for certain by using the home-test kits obtainable in the market.

Moonshine 2
In my post about Keith Shine's contribution to the All-party Climate Change Group briefing on AR5 I said that Prof Shine had failed to discuss the divergence between model and observational estimates of climate sensitivity. In fact the report on which I had based this statement (and which I quoted in the original piece) misrepresented what Shine said. There is an audio file available here (H/T Richard Betts) which shows that a significant chunk of the talk was in fact given over to a consideration of the two main approaches to estimating climate sensitivity. Shine described the pros and cons of the various approaches as follows:
...state-of-the-art climate models, which are our embodiment of the laws of physics as applied to the atmosphere...
...a mixture of observations and simple models. Now you might think using observations were a better way of doing things but the problem is that there are a lot of things going on at the same time in the climate system - the internal variability, the aerosols - and there is also a lot of debate about how you should do your statistics to estimate the climate sensitivity.
I'm not sure I detect any question marks over the reliability of the models. No mentions of fudge either. And the remarks about debates over statistics are grossly misleading. The IPCC has been engaging in PR rather than science: showing a series of studies that all use flat priors in ECS is equivalent to repeated shouting "We already know that climate sensitivity is high". It's propaganda, not science.
So I'm not sure that Prof Shine is giving the politicians a fair assessment here. It looks more like an attempt to pooh-pooh the observational estimates.
Still, if you think this is bad, wait until you see the next post.

Underwrites CandE Awards Program for Fourth Consecutive Year
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 18, 2016) - Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and data benchmark research of a quality candidate experience, today announced that Montage, the leader in purpose-built video interviewing technology solutions for the Global 5000, is a Gold sponsor of the 2016 Candidate Experience Awards.
"The quality of a candidate's recruitment experience is what the very best employers strive for, and it is what the Candidate Experience Awards celebrate. That is why we are proud to sponsor this awards program again for our fourth year," said Kurt Heikkinen, president and CEO of Montage Talent. "And the measure of a candidate's experience in the digital era comes down to every interaction with the company, each click within our video platform, and every conversation with our support team. Our passion for creating a delightful experience during every interview for every candidate aligns perfectly with Talent Board, their research and best practice findings."
Each year, the Candidate Experience Awards and benchmarking program seeks to collect the experiences of job candidates, identify best recruiting practices and recognize the employers who demonstrate exemplary processes.

In 2015 alone, the now global CandE Awards collected data from more than 150,000 job candidates who applied to more than 250 participating companies. As the program continues to grow in 2016, Montage's support will be instrumental in increasing participation among employers and candidates for what is expected to be another record year for the CandE Awards.
"An authentic, positive, and insightful connection is key to an effective interview experience between employer and candidate," said Elaine Orler, co-founder and chairman of Talent Board and CEO of Talent Function. "In delivering their next-generation interviewing technology, Montage helps companies transform the candidate experience into a virtual, dynamic, two-way conversation. We are thrilled to welcome Montage back as a supporter of the 2016 CandE Awards, and look forward to working together to further improve the candidate experience."

Schlafly - (Special Release) Pumpkin Ale - ABV 8 %/
Pours a medium copper with a smallish head. It has a big cinnamon & pumpkin aroma which is quite nice. In the flavor the cinnamon leads the way but the pumpkin follows right behind as does the nutmeg & clove. This beer is reminiscent of a pumpkin pie & the sweetness is right on. I didn't know much about this beer so I was surprised how good it was and equally shocked that it rings in at 8 % ABV. It has a fairly big spice profile but I think it's balanced nicely with just the right sweetness level.
Rating of 8.2 out of 10 in the pumpkin ale category.

Our Christmas present: Part 1 - Our 2017 challenge: Outstanding learning experiences for all! GDPR as a case
Challenge yourself
It's that time of the year, where we want to look back on 2017, a year where we set a challenge upon ourselves: "What if we had a blank canvas to start building a learning solution on? No style guide or tone of voice as foundation? No templates, no previously existing learning culture to take into account?" We wanted to create an outstanding learning experience.
An outstanding learning experience about…
So we had our challenge cut out for us, but now we needed a topic. We outlined a few criteria:
- Main objectives: to learn from each other and to build a solid case for aXles, the Arboth methodology.
- The topic should be something everyone would come into contact with one way or another.
- We wanted to break a topic, generally regarded as 'boring', in a fun way.
- A topic that's not yet completely saturated with learning materials online.
That's how we got at GDPR. The European Global Data Protection Regulation demands compliance from all organizations doing business in Europe. From May 25th, 2018, you might be eligible for warnings, or worse: heavy fines. Needless to say, many organizations are in a frenzy, preparing. Procedures need to be reviewed, clients notified and employees trained.
So with aXles in our back pocket, we jumped on that train.
Getting started: Defining the Learning Objectives & Scope
With a topic such as GDPR, it's easy to get lost in legal and judicial limbo. We did not want to overload people with information. Information should be relevant, everything else cut. We hung our main objective on the wall, as to always keep our focus: "Increase awareness of the impact of GDPR on the organisation and all its procedures".
We defined the target audience as: "White-collar workers, most likely to be faced with changing procedures."
To be continued…
The aXles methodology led us to the development of several learning solutions. Read more about our challenge tomorrow.
What do you think about this learning experience?
Leave a comment or tweet about it #GDPRaXles @Learning4Growth.

Shade Tree Coffee Has Closed
I am sad to write that this is a picture of the last latte that I had and will ever have at Shade Tree Coffee. They closed today for the last time. It's very sad for me, because I have so many happy memories of drinking coffee and Italian sodas while playing cards, laughing and talking there. Greg and Stephanie Lamm created such a welcoming environment that made it so easy for us to have fun. Many of my friends, who spent time with me there, have moved on to jobs in other parts of the country and now Shade Tree has moved on as well. I know it's important to remember the good times and appreciate that they happened. I'm thankful that we all had such a wonderful place for as long as we did.
Shade Tree now has a farewell message on the Shade Tree Coffee website, so be sure to check that out. Meanwhile, I'll go make some coffee from the last pound of Shade Tree beans that I have and savor every drop.

A brief biography.
Carrie Parker Ph.D.
At a very early age, I had an inherent ability to understand and help others. I possessed a natural ability to see things from a clear and unobstructed perspective. For me, it has always felt as if progression and change were just part of life, albeit an important one. As time went on, it became clear that the only real way to move gracefully through time and space with a sense of meaning and satisfaction was to embrace and facilitate change.
As new challenges arose, my curiosity continued to grow as did my need to understand how the psyche worked. Traveling played a huge role in my development and after years of exploring, I settled on a career path heading toward formal education.
After receiving my doctoral degree in clinical health psychology from the University of Missouri – Kansas City, I joined the Air Force as a commissioned officer. The most interesting find when working with the military was the subject of intuition, or the so-called sixth sense, and how prevalent it was in the combat setting. Working alongside those who had been in the zone of death and danger for unheard amounts of time proved one thing: intuition is real (as long as you know how to listen). Clients described circumstances in which they knew something was going to happen and spoke of an innate feeling of warning that seemed clear and fast - and kept them from harm's way. I learned that through chaos, clarity would manifest and a solution for self-preservation would present itself.
Since then, my practice has transformed into a flow of energy and self-awareness that offers insight and an outlet for personal growth. It's about tapping into the feeling of your inner-self, recognizing and getting what you need and want out of life. My practice is about being intuitive and listening to part of yourself that is not ruled by the mind and it's constant attempts to confuse things.
It is about knowing.

What's the best way to blow up a hedge fund without using dynamite?
A. No risk management
B. High financial leverage
C. Excessive concentration
D. Hoping…
E. All of the above
What's the best way to blow up a hedge fund without using dynamite?
A. No risk management
B. High financial leverage
C. Excessive concentration
D. Hoping…
E. All of the above
If Owen Li, the founder of Canarsie Capital was answering this quiz, he probably would've answered "E." On Wednesday, we learned that he essentially lost almost all of the fund's $100 million in assets. But that wasn't the most newsworthy part of the story. He wrote a letter announcing he was "truly sorry."
Read MoreOwen Li says he's 'truly sorry' for blowing up hedge fund
Dude … That's like telling your wife you're truly sorry you had sex with her best friend and oh, by the way, she's pregnant. I get it—you feel bad (you should), but people don't want to hear that. They would prefer for you to raise your hand and say: "I screwed up!" (FCC word choice — not mine.)
I imagine Owen and his remaining employees sitting around the conference room crafting a letter. "I'm sorry… No wait; let's put 'truly' in front of sorry — it sounds better."
"Maybe we should put the words in italics?"
As a writer, I understand word choice is important, but sometimes less is more. And as a fund manager, you need to know the difference.
Read MoreSinger: 'Cushion to withstand risks is very low'
Although the rest of the letter sounded like he was taking some accountability, it's really hard to get past the "truly sorry" part. He went on to say that he made a series of "aggressive transactions" over the last three weeks to make up for poor returns in December. On the blackjack table, we call that chasing. You don't do it.
One of the first things everyone learns on Wall Street is: When you make a mistake, stand up and raise your hand. Then try and rectify the mistake. People want to hear a solution — if there is one. Tell them the facts and what you plan to do about it.
Li is a former trader at Raj Rajaratnam's Galleon Group, which closed its doors based on insider trading charges. Rajaratnam is currently serving time for illegal activity, but Li was never accused of wrongdoing — until now. (Ironically given the losses, it's safe to say this probably has nothing to do with insider trading.)
Read MoreHedge fund failures pick up in 2014
I also worked at Galleon (before Li) and then went on to be a founding partner for a start-up hedge fund that grew to over a billion dollars in assets. So, I know his path very well. But if we had a guy at our start-up who was taking this level of risk with his fingers crossed, he would have been shut down immediately and forced to unwind his positions.
This kind of thing should be an anomaly but, truth be told, it happens ALL THE TIME. A guy has a few good years and thinks he should open up his own fund and put his name on the door. But I would say 90 percent of the people on Wall Street don't understand how to manage risk. They think that picking stocks is the key to a successful hedge fund. It takes many hats to run your own fund.
Read More It just got 'easier to cheat' on Wall Street
I'm not sure if Li's investors will ever see any of that money again, but they could have some recourse if the fund did not act in accordance with its charter. The lesson here isn't that you should avoid putting your money into a hedge fund start-up. Sometimes you can negotiate a better deal if you're considered early money. And there are also long-term benefits to believing in somebody. But there are questions you should ask before ever sending the wire to invest all of your money — questions Li's investors should've asked:
You need to have detailed answers to these questions and you need to have it in writing. If I was meeting with any potential fund manager trying to manage money and he didn't already have precise, well thought out answers to these questions, I'd walk away. Risk management is paramount to the success of a fund.
Read MoreThe 12 types of people on Wall Street
This is what's really SCARY: If the market had worked in Li's favor, he would've made all of that money back and then some with his aggressive bets. His performance record would be excellent and he'd be able to raise more money. After a couple of years, he'd be looked at as downright brilliant. Someone you'd want to put your money with. So, he's not the only guy doing this – he's just the one who had it blow up in his face. There are other funds out there like this.
Let's hope investors learn from this cautionary tale.
You never want to call your fund and hear: "Thank you for calling Canarsie Capital. If you would like a sincere apology, press 1. If you'd like to hear a soothing love ballad, press 2. If you'd like us to mail you a Hallmark card, press 3. To accept our apology, please press 4.
Commentary by Turney Duff, a former trader at the hedge fund Galleon Group. Duff chronicled the spectacular rise and fall of his career on Wall Street in the book, "The Buy Side," and is currently working on his second book, a Wall Street novel. He is also featured on the CNBC show, "The Filthy Rich Guide." Follow him on Twitter @turneyduff.

Samantha Singh is an activist, traveler, poet and artist from Belize. At 23, she has traveled to over 25 countries and lived in 3. She has been published in The Guardian newspaper and The New Orleans Review. The title of this site, 'the sea itself' is a reference to The Incantation of Frida K by Kate Braverman, her favourite book.
The entire passage reads "They will say I smoked cigarettes and marijuana, cursed hoarse as a crow in all my languages, and loved morphine and Demerol and tequila and pulque, women and men. I will shrug my illusion of shoulders and answer that I am a water woman, not a vessel, not something you can sail or charter. I am instead the tributary, the river, the fluid source, and the sea itself. I am all her rainy implications. And what do you, with your rusted compass, know of love?"
She is currently in the process of completing her first collection of poetry.

"And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire" [al-Hijr 15:26-27]
Allah said: "I have prepared for My pious servants things which have never been seen by an eye, nor heard by an ear, or (even) imagined by a human being." (Sahih Muslim)
On the Day of Judgment the inhabitants of Hell will see their destined abode face to face and will realize the error of their ways. But, of course, it will be too late. The Qur'an states: "No! When the earth is pounded to powder, and your Lord comes with His angels, rank upon rank, and Hell, that Day, is brought [face to face] - on that Day will man remember? But how will that remembrance profit him?"[al Fajr, 89: 21-23]
Reported by K`ab bin Malik (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Two hungry wolves sent in the midst of a flock of sheep are no more destructive to them than a man's greed for wealth and fame is to his Deen.'' [At-Tirmidhi]

App producer David Barnard writing on his blog:
So, let's talk about how developers are gaming the App Store and why it matters to the future of the platform. Any one of these tactics might seem somewhat bland individually, but when tens of thousands of apps deploy multiple tactics across many categories of apps, the impact can be measured in hundreds of millions of users and likely billions of dollars.
From keyword squatting to tricking people into subscribing to high-priced junk ware, none of this is good for Apple, developers, or their shared customers. Only Apple can affect change here, though.
Phil Schiller runs the U.S. App Store. Eddy Cue still runs the international App Stores. It'll likely take some coordination across both their organizations and many of their teams to make the environment less profitable and more caustic to scammers.
But it needs to happen.

Bruschetta Bar
Ever since we attended the SheKnows Expert Event, we have been dying to recreate the Bruschetta Bar they served to their guests. A bar filled with different types of breads, spreads and toppings, a fun idea to spice up a dinner with friends at home! Take a look at our DIY Bruschetta Bar!
We started the bar with three loaves of different bread, Italian, Multi-Grain and Everything. Brushed each side with basil parmesan olive oil and toasted each piece. Then we got creative with all the spreads and toppings! Everything from classic bruschcetta to salsas, hummus broccomole, sautéed veggies and more!
Our friends loved our bruschetta bar! And yes, we have been making them work for their meals lately (ie, Pizza Bar) but it is a fun way to get your friends together and share a meal. It is all about being creative and trying new things. Ashley and I are not the most formal ladies you'll ever meet so we don't want to bore our guests with a sit down dinner! We want our friends moving and grooving, and if that means break dancing while filling their plates, then so be it.
