While the federal government pushes ahead with its plan to legalize recreational cannabis this summer, municipalities are still mostly in the dark about the specifics.
"Unfortunately, even today, we don't know what flesh is going to be put on the bones," said lawyer Sukhbir Manhas in a panel discussion at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association conference on May 9.
"The (federal) Cannabis Act sets out a general framework for how legalization is going to work, but there is a lot to be said and a lot to be done in terms of the regulatory framework along that, and that's all going to be brought in by the federal government through regulations."
The approach Whistler has taken to this point—passing a bylaw to restrict cannabis retail, production and distribution in the absence of more specifics—is sound, Manhas said.
"That gives you the greatest degree of control in respect of where these operations may come into play in your local government," he said, adding that other approaches municipalities are taking include specific distance requirements (no two dispensaries within 500 metres, for example) or outright prohibition.
There's also a very real concern that municipalities will be shouldering all of the financial burden, making the need for sufficient tax revenue all the more important, said lawyer Don Lidstone.
"My main issue is that all of a sudden here we have another substantial new issue that governments are obligated to pay for and provide for, with very little time to prepare, and with very little guidance from other orders of government, to get staffing and get programs, get policies, get bylaws, figure out what the rules of the game are, and to most of all, get the revenue and the financial capacity to deal with another huge user service or activity that local governments are suddenly obligated to regulate and prohibit and enforce," Lidstone said.
"As far as I'm concerned, municipalities should be getting a major share of the tax revenue from this new regime in order to pay for the impacts that we're facing at the local level."
Though many municipalities have asked for 50 per cent of total cannabis tax revenue, no firm details have been revealed from the provincial government at this point.
Further to the financial concerns, Lidstone said he has three municipal clients right now that are looking at running their own dispensaries and reaping the benefits.
"So they'd have the only one in town and be able to control it, and they would get a fair amount of revenue from that," he said. "There are a lot of ramifications of that ... but it's doable—a lot of municipalities get into various businesses like economic development and swimming pools and recreational facilities that they make money on, and so why not a dispensary?"
Whistler Councillors Cathy Jewett, John Grills, Jen Ford, Sue Maxwell and Jack Crompton were all in attendance for the session.
"The position that Whistler took of just putting a blanket over the community ... it helps us then deciding how we can manage the zoning and locations and the licensing," Grills said. "Hopefully the province will finish and get us the rest of the information as soon as possible, so that we can get on with our work."
And the prospect of Whistler going into the cannabis business for itself remains an alluring one, Ford said.
"I think it's worth looking at for sure," she said. "Housing costs and building housing and all of that, you've got to find the money somewhere, and we don't want to continue to put it on the end user and the taxpayer."
Cannabis activist Jodie Emery was also on the panel, and spoke of a wide range of issues, including the positive impact of cannabis in relation to opioid deaths and the need to embrace B.C.'s reputation for growing great cannabis.
"Legalization should mean job creation, tax revenue and all the rest. It doesn't mean more government, more bureaucracy, more spending trying to suppress something that we're supposed to be legalizing," Emery said.
"Be cannabis and pot friendly, and I promise it will pay off in tourism—as we already experience in B.C.—and even more business and tax revenue, job creation, rather than trying to stamp it out, which has never worked and still won't."

The Castle Manifesto
We believe in the following ideals. Although we're just getting started, we have large ambitions and hope that you will share and help us promote these ideals.
This is a
living document
. It's not perfect and will change as we clarify our understanding.
Creators should be empowered to make money from their art.
A few game makers earn a lot of money. A few more scrape by in small studios. Many others rely on day jobs. This ecosystem often forces creators to monetize games in ways that don't align with their artistic visions. We believe creators deserve to do their work without compromising their art.
Games are better with other people.
It's more fulfilling to make and play games when others take the journey with you. The Castle community is built on the shared storytelling experience that games provide.
Community members deserve to be safe.
Everybody using Castle should be able to present their selves and their work without fear. While well-intentioned freedom of speech is valuable, harmful behavior is intolerable. Castle and its community will proactively remove harmful people and harmful content.
Creators need a simple, efficient way to distribute their work to a wide audience.
Playing games is fun; uploading and downloading games is not fun. Current game distribution mechanisms create needless and unhealthy friction around downloading, installing, compatibility, and payment incentives.
Everyone deserves to make games.
Making great games will always take skill. However, game making should remain accessible; the entry gates should be friendly, the path forward always clear.
Games of all sizes have value.
Huge games are inspiring but can be difficult to finish. A supportive community and well-designed tools can help creators pick appropriately sized projects and encourage them across the finish line.
The best creation tools foster self-expression.
Creators possess a breadth of powerful emotions and ideas. Good creation tools, and their communities, enable personal style and self-expression rather than restricting it. We celebrate skill-mastery, emotional depth, and authentic, human design.
The best creation tools promote experimentation and newness.
Innovation moves the art form forward, and we are excited when we discover new things we cannot categorize. We should empower and reward those bold enough to bend genres and expectations.
The best creation tools enable teaching and learning.
Learning how things work is cool, and great works inspire new creators. The community is better when people share details of their process and journey. Open source work is encouraged. We encourage remixing and modding (with ample credit to the originator).
People decide what's fun.
Big corporations don't decide what is fun. Influencers don't decide what is fun. Democracy is the future of all media. People make and play what they want because they personally feel that it's fun. Our community has the power and responsibility to reinforce this momentum.

An hour after load-out, Biggie pulls the Econoline into the parking lot of the Raleigh Fairfield Inn. I'm riding shotgun, a half-finished Budweiser sweating in my crotch. The rest of the band—Watershed, we're called—sits hip to hip on the back benches, pulling beer bottles out of the cooler, laughing and re-hashing the show, which was the best by far of this four-day swing. We played for about thirty people, made $200 in door money and swag sales. Just enough to cover the hotel room we're sharing tonight and the gas we'll put in the tank tomorrow.
Biggie, the tour manager, eases the van into a well-lit spot. "Room 308," he says, jerking the shifter into park. He climbs out, opens the back doors, and starts dropping our bags to the blacktop.
I hop down and breathe-in the dewy Carolina summer. Smells like slash pine and paper mill, a scent that's both antiseptic and sulfuric—in a pleasant way. A native Ohioan, I've long associated this piney-rot smell with driving south for spring break, and although this string of shows isn't quite a vacation, it is a break from our responsibilities as husbands and fathers, as job-holding, mortgage-paying citizens. As my bandmates clown-car their way out the side doors, I drain the rest of my beer, and it occurs to me that this moment right now—the post-gig camaraderie—is largely why Watershed has stuck together through twenty-five years of sparse crowds and no profits.
The Budweiser, the bonhomie, and the smell of the night have combined to make me feel ten pounds lighter and two inches taller, so when I look across the parking lot at the dumpster that's sitting in the back corner, I know, just know, I'll be able to throw my empty beer all the way there from here. I take the bottle by the neck and measure its weight, upside down and satisfyingly top-heavy, built to catapult end over end. I can already envision it propelling through the air, clearing the lip of the dumpster and landing in a bed of trash bags stuffed with breakfast buffet Styrofoam. I can see the whole flight, from takeoff to touchdown, just like twenty-five years ago when my bandmates and I were dropping out of college and into our first van. Back then I could visualize our whole career trajectory: from dues-paying fledglings to platinum-selling rock stars.
There's no fanfare. No smack talk. I don't announce my intentions or wager five bucks on them. I just rear back and fire. And as soon as I do, it's obvious that I didn't give the bottle enough muscle. Not even close. Five yards shy of the dumpster, the glass shatters on the asphalt. My bandmates stop talking. Biggie stops unloading the luggage. "What the hell?" he says, the sober one, the designated cat herder.
Maybe it's the way he's looking at me—not with disgust but with resignation. Maybe it was the sound of the bottle breaking. Or maybe it was the pitiable distance by which the reality fell short of the vision. But I suddenly hear the unspoken second half of Biggie's question: . . . are you doing? What the hell am I doing? I'm forty-five years old. A college professor. Father of a young son and daughter. First-rate diaper changer and renowned singer of lullabies. Hunter of stray Cheerios from under car seats and couch cushions. Look at me now: drunken bottle chucker. Throwing rocks at the moon. It's 3:00 a.m. Do you know where your parents are?
Grabbing a fresh beer from the cooler, I'm struck by another vision: sunrise. And a man in Dickies work pants, armed with a broom and dustpan—a father himself, perhaps—being summonsed via walkie-talkie out to the lot to sweep up the shards of my misplaced entitlement.
The broken glass has sucked the air out of the evening, making space for everyone's tiredness. Biggie locks the van and walks toward the back entrance of the building. My bandmates grab their bags and form a slouching line behind him. I pick up my duffle and fall in at the rear. But before I follow the guys inside, I chug about a third of my beer and look back at the dumpster. So close. So wide open. My hand slides up the neck of the bottle.
If I just give it a little more arc. If I just put some leg into it.

Of all the scenes from Seinfeld's nine-season run, perhaps none demonstrated the cast's callous disregard for others better than the death of George's fiancée Susan, who died after licking cheap envelopes for their wedding invitations in season 7.
Played by actress Heidi Swedberg, Susan Ross appeared in 28 episodes from 1992-1997, before her untimely death, and according to Jason Alexander, the core cast's discomfort with her was more than scripted.
Alexander was a guest on Wednesday's Howard Stern SiriusXM Radio Show and admitted that Swedberg's failure to connect with the core group meant she had to go.
After Stern asked him if rumors he couldn't stand working with Heidi were true, he first explained:"The actress is this wonderful girl, I love her. She's a terrific girl."
He continued: "I couldn't figure out how to play off of her. Her instincts for doing a scene, where the comedy was, and mine, were always misfiring. She would do something, and I would go, OK, I see what she's going to do, I'll adjust to her. And then it would change."
Alexander then recounted a conversation with the show's creator, Larry David:
I had done three episodes with her and Larry calls me up at the beginning of the season, and says, 'Good news, I got a great arc for you this season.' I said, 'Oh that's great, who do I get engaged to?' He said, 'Susan.' I went, 'Oh great, who's going to play George?'
He continued: "What he said was, what Heidi brought to the character is we could do the most horrible things to her and the audience was still on my side, and it wasn't she was wasn't playing a bitchy character or anything we just knew it wasn't a good fit."
Co-stars Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine) also did not understand the problem, until they worked with her, he said.
"You know what? It's f–king impossible!" Alexander quoted his co-stars after they worked with her.
Then, according to Alexander, it was Dreyfus who gave David an exit strategy by saying, "Don't you wanna just kill her?"
David then said, "KA-BANG!'"
"Every time I tell this story I cringe, because Heidi is the sweetest person ever," he concluded.
Yada yada yada, Swedberg would go on to appear in other television shows, such as Becker, Without a Trace, and Bones, but not before bowing from the show in the most Seinfeld of ways:
You can catch Susan's untimely death, as well as all of the other neurotic Seinfeld moments streaming on Hulu, starting June 24.

Ireland's largest private landlord adds 104 apartments to rental market with one beds starting at €1,550
Irish Residential Properties REIT (Ires Reit), Ireland's biggest private landlord, has completed the acquisition of 128 apartments in Finglas, Dublin.
In a deal first announced on May 8, the company paid €40m for the Hampton Wood apartments, which was funded from its existing credit facility.
The apartment block consists of 46 one-bed and 82 two-bed apartments.
Already Ires has started to advertise the apartments for rent.
The cost of renting an unfurnished one bed is €1,550, while the cost of renting an unfurnished two bed apartment is €1,850, according to property website Daft.
Currently 24 of the 128 apartments, which each have a car parking space, have been leased by the vendor, with the remaining 104 available for immediate lease.
Based on current annualised rents and lease up of the 104 apartments, the investment is expected to generate a gross yield of around 6.25pc based on the purchase price.
"We are pleased to have completed the acquisition," Margaret Sweeney, chief executive of Ires Reit, said.
"Hampton Wood strengthens our presence on the North side of the city and brings our total number of apartments to 2,579."
Last year the average monthly rent secured by Ires across each of its housing units was €1,517, according to the group's annual report published in March.
The most expensive apartments in its portfolio to rent are 84 properties at the Marker Hotel in Dublin's docklands.
The average monthly rent on those properties was €2,697 last year.
The cheapest are its 103 apartments at Priorsgate in Tallaght, south Dublin, where average monthly rents are €1,167.

1/4oz AMERICAN GOLD EAGLE
1/4oz AMERICAN GOLD EAGLE
The fractional gold eagles (i.e. 1/2oz, 1/4oz and 1/10oz versions) are popular among investors for their smaller and convenient unit sizes. The 1/4oz denomination has been favorite since its inception in 1986; it regularly sports higher mintages than its 1/2oz counterpart. It carries an official U.S. Government-backed face value of $10 and is struck in 22-karat gold. They are issued in quantities of 40 per U.S. Mint tube.
In the center of the coin is a mother eagle bringing food to her young. The motto "E. PLURIBUS UNUM" is to the left below the mother's wing. On the right side of the coin, also under the mother's wing, are the words "IN GOD WE TRUST". Above the eagle family are the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and below them "1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD 10 DOLLARS".

Another success for Ariane 5: Four new Galileo satellites in orbit, 400 million Galileo users
On Wednesday 25 July, in the presence of Frédérique Vidal, French Minister for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, Ariane 5 completed its third flawless launch this year from Europe's spaceport at the Guiana Space Centre (CSG), orbiting the 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th satellites for the Galileo constellation, Europe's satellite navigation programme. The flight was the fourth of the year from the CSG and Ariane 5's 99th in total.
The Galileo satellite navigation system entered service in December 2016 and provides Europe with an extremely precise, reliable and secure satellite navigation system. These four new satellites will further boost the performance of the constellation, which already delivers an unprecedented degree of precision and variety of applications.
The four satellites, each weighing slightly over 700 kilograms, were placed in a circular inclined orbit at an altitude of 22,922 kilometres. Final positioning will be performed by around 70 CNES personnel at the Toulouse Space Centre (CST), who will be working 24 hours a day for 13 days, before handing over the satellites to the Galileo Control Centre in Munich. A month and a half later, CNES will again play a key role through to October for the calculation and programming of the 20 or more manoeuvres needed to place each satellite in its final orbital position.
When the launch success was announced, Frédérique Vidal commented: "This latest success for Ariane shows that Europe's space community is up there with the best in the world. I congratulate all partners in the Ariane 5 and Galileo programmes, two iconic achievements of European space policy: CNES, ESA, the European Commission, Arianespace, ArianeGroup and all the European contractors involved. With this latest success and the rapid development of Galileo applications, Europe's space community hasn't just maintained its rank, it's at the forefront of advances in space technologies."
CNES President Jean-Yves Le Gall added: "I'd like to congratulate the teams at our four centres of excellence for flying the flag for French and European space expertise: Head Office, managing France's contribution to Galileo; the Launch Vehicles Directorate (DLA), which played a key role adapting Ariane 5 for this mission; the Toulouse Space Centre, where our teams will now be positioning the four satellites; and the Guiana Space Centre, where they were launched. Well done everyone!"

The $3.3 billion City of New York Deferred Compensation (457) Plan tapped Citizens Advisers Tuesday to manage a socially responsible account within the plan.
"We believe this may be the largest account ever awarded to a socially responsible investment adviser," Citizens Advisers CEO John Shields said in a statement.
The nation's largest family of socially responsible no-load mutual funds will manage more than $250 million for New York City employees choosing the SRI option in their retirement plan. The account will track the Citizens Index, the fund firm's market weighted index of approximately 300 socially and environmentally responsible companies.
This is the second significant retirement plan announcement for Citizens this quarter. In July, Citizens announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Hartford Life to offer institutional shares of the Citizens Index Fund (WINIX) as part of its offerings to deferred compensation plans (457) sponsored by government entities.
"We see a tremendous opportunity for us in the retirement arena," Shields said. "Not only are we seeing strong interest from plan administrators, but employees are increasingly requesting a socially responsible investment option in their plans."
Retail shares of the Citizens Index Fund (WAIDX) were up 11 percent year to date through Monday and nearly 42 percent over the last 12-months, according to Lipper Inc.
Vanguard's Capital Opportunity ups ante
New investors interested in Vanguard's Capital Opportunity Fund (VHCOX) will now have to pony up a minimum initial investment of $25,000. The nation's No. 2 fund firm said it was hiking the minimum initial investment from the much lower $3,000, hoping to stem a rush of new money coming into the fund. "Asset growth has not yet posed any problems, but we are concerned that a continued high level of cash flow could cause the fund's assets to reach a size that would inhibit the Primecap team's ability to apply its investment strategy effectively," Vanguard Chief Executive John J. Brennan said in a statement. Primecap Management Company has been the advisor on the fund since the beginning of 1998. As of Aug. 31, Capital Opportunity had $877 million in net assets, up sharply from $206 million at year-end 1998.
Lord Abbett Developing Growth closing
The Lord Abbett Developing Growth Fund will be closing to new retail investors, effective Sept. 30th. The $2 billion fund will remain open to existing shareholders, qualified retirement plans, and mutual fund advisory programs, Lord, Abbett & Co. confirmed. "Bigger is not always better," Robert Morris, director of equity investments, said in a statement. "This decision will help us protect the interests of our shareholders by enabling us to manage cash flows more efficiently, in what can sometimes be a volatile asset class." Class A shares of the Developing Growth Fund (LAGWX) are in the top 20 percent of the fund's peer group for the three-, five- and 10-year periods but slipped over the last 12-months, performing in the upper 40 percent of the fund's small-cap peers, according to Lipper Inc. Through Monday, Developing Growth was up 9.6 percent year to date and 43 percent over the last 12-months.
Federated offers new communications fund
Citing consumer interest, Federated Investors FII, -1.31% springs forward with a new offering focusing on communications technology companies. "Right now we're seeing the telecommunications and technology markets experiencing unprecedented growth and there are no signs of that growth slowing in the near future," J. Thomas Madden, chief investment officer, said in a press release. "In fact, through the first half of this year, flows into many of the existing technology and communication funds have already eclipsed their 1998 totals." The Federated Communications Technology Fund will invest in 60 to 80 companies among four segments, including: infrastructure, such as hardware, software and fiber optics; interfaces which include appliances such as phones, cable set-top boxes and personal computers; services, such as long distance carriers, Internet service providers and wireless telephony; and applications, firms which provide end products such as entertainment, voicemail, and e-commerce.
Jim Grefenstette, senior portfolio manager, also manages the $194 million Federated Large Cap Growth Fund (FLGAX) and the $1 billion Federated Growth Strategies Fund (FGSAX). Federated plans to market the fund in A, B and C share classes through brokers, broker/dealers, bank broker/dealers and other financial intermediaries.
Tuesday tutorial: Beta
Beta is a measure used in determining volatility. In determining the volatility of a fund, we measure it against the overall market. Frequently, Standard and Poor's 500 Index will be used as the benchmark by which a fund's beta will be measured but sometimes a more appropriate index will be substituted. For instance, the Russell 2000 small company index might be employed when evaluating a small-cap fund for a more accurate picture of volatility among its peers.
Beta is also measured over a period of time, generally three years. The benchmark index is assigned a beta of 1.0. So a stock fund with a beta of 1.2 is considered to be 20 percent more volatile than the benchmark index while a beta of 0.85 would reflect 15 percent less volatility than the benchmark. Using beta is one way to verify that your index fund is truly tracking its benchmark index. Lower beta is considered to be less risky than a fund with a higher beta but is not the only measure of risk available. Next week: alpha.

New National Direction for CRA
In 2016, the members of CRA decided to create a stronger national presence for Catholic religious in Australia. State peak religious conferences joined to become a more visible national presence as CRA became a more dynamic and active prophetic voice across the Church and the community. CRA is the recognised representative and point of contact, as the peak body for religious.
The leaders resolved that:
the purpose of the new CRA will focus on leadership and providing support to religious institute leadership, to ensure that religious life in Australia is animated and enriched;
CRA will take up the collective advocacy role, voice and action in many areas including justice, education and the environment, setting up new Committees to support leaders but also to influence church and society; and
the work of the new CRA will be undertaken in a manner which enables the distinctive charism of religious life to evolve, keeping alive the unique identity and independent prophetic voice of religious life within the Church and beyond.
New Logo, New CRA
CRA has a new logo to mark the emergence of a 'new CRA' as a national voice for religious throughout Australia. CRA has been working steadily to increase the voice of religious through action, building relationships, increasing expertise and sharing information. CRA is also working to increase its services to members through committee work, development opportunities and many other areas.
This logo concept incorporates the letters C R A into a continuous line to represent unity, continuity and moving forward together. The green dot in the A represents the organisation becoming one body. The symbol represents light and hope shining forth. The central star represents the Star of Bethlehem, Resurrection, the light of Christ, action, new dawn and moving forward. The light rising from the central star settles on the arc, which represents the world/people/community/the horizon. The star is surrounded by the southern cross which represents Australia. Jesus – the cross - is at the centre of the star, and the centre of our purpose.

The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") came into force just before the EU Referendum. Set to replace the UK's outdated Data Protection Act from May 2018, it marks a tough new era in EU-wide data protection, with new powers for regulators and stricter operating boundaries for businesses.
UK companies are being warned that the recent Brexit decision does not avoid the need for compliance, as they are likely to have to comply with either the Regulation, or a UK version in a very similar form.
The over-arching aim of the new Regulation is to harmonise data protection across all EU member states, and being an EU Regulation, rather than a Directive, it becomes law without the need for any national legislation in the 28 individual EU countries. It should make it simpler for everyone, including non-European companies, to comply with data protection, but it comes at a cost, with greater responsibilities for data processors and with severe penalties of up to 4% of worldwide turnover for non-compliance.
The biggest change is it applies to any business processing personally identifiable information about EU citizens, not just to businesses based within the EU. This means that any UK business that is trading with EU citizens will be affected, as will anyone who transfers personal data from the EU to the UK, for processing or storage.
It is also expected that any new legislation brought in by the UK Government will be equally stringent. According to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's regulator, the GDPR is still relevant for the UK, saying "the underlying reality on which the policy is based has not changed".
The situation may be further complicated during the transition process, as until the UK has data protection laws which the European Commission recognise with a formal adequacy decision, companies that move personal data from the EU to the UK would need to implement some other mechanism, such as standard contract clauses approved by the Commission.
"It means that UK businesses, whatever their size, who trade in the EU, or want to be able to transfer personal data in from the EU, should be looking to adopt GDPR as a minimum standard," explained commercial litigation expert Manzurul Islam of solicitors Mullis & Peake LLP.
"For any trading relationship between the UK and the EU, our data protection law will need to be broadly equivalent. If we were to stick with the current 1998 Act, we could expect other countries to view our regime as providing insufficient protection.
The main provisions of the GDPR include:
This is not legal advice; it is intended to provide information of general interest about current legal issues.

Made to Love - Book of Judges (All About Jesus #15)/ /Get the Sermons Automatically
God made all of us to know him and join in doing his work in the world. If we lose our faith or our works, we quickly go off the rails. The book of Judges shows a clear and frightening picture of just how bad this cycle can get, and serves as a warning to fight for loving God and loving people every day.
This week we reviewed most of the book of Judges, and also referenced James 2:14-26 and Luke 10:25-28.
Below is The diagram showing the Judges Cycle, and the map of Israel's land allotments.

- context.DatabaseExists()
- context.CreateDatabase()
Because a DBML file has the full schema (will, full known schema) your DataContext will know whether or not your database specified in your connection string actually exists, and you can create it yourself if needed.
This is where unit testing comes in.
Oh, and there is one other method which can be used as well if you want to do complete clean up:
- context.DeleteDatabase()
So… unit testing?
With unit testing you often don't care about the data created during the test, provided that all your Asserts are successful you can just delete it all when your done, but you'll want to make sure that your CRUD is working so you need somewhere to write to, this is when we can pull out te CreateDatabase() method.Another idea which can be coupled with this is randomly-generated databases purely used for the test execusion. Here's a sample test method I've got:
[TestMethod]public void DatabaseTesting()
string connstring = "Data Source=apowell-vm-vist;Initial Catalog=TestDriven_" + new Random().Next() + ";Integrated Security=True"; using (TDDDataContext ctx = new TDDDataContext(connstring))
{if (ctx.DatabaseExists())
Oh - CleanDatabase() is an extension method I wrote just as an example, but you could do some Asserts to ensure the lookup data is already in there.
As you can see from the example I'm randomly creating a database name, and creating it if it exists.
So there you have it, simply creating test databases with LINQ to SQL :D

Bob O'Donnell points out in an article that the time that Apple was able to surprise the world with real innovations may well be behind us.
They were very late with their Apple Watch, I guess they postponed the introduction a couple of times because it wasn't ground breaking enough to meet the enormous expectations, and when they finally did launch it it indeed failed to impress.
Their recent products are competent evolutions, but nothing revolutionary, I feel the Iphone 6 looks decidedly boring, should I say Samsung-like?
It seems they are running out of ideas, last weekend all they had to announce was, hold your breath…:
- a new version of the iPad Pro tablet
- new wristbands for the Apple Watch
- a budget iPhone SE, which seems an almost desperate move to get iPhone sales from slowing down even further
Their most interesting product was a robot specifically designed to destruct iPhones!
Perhaps it is the need to support 1 billion active devices which is becoming a burden rather than a boon.

There are two types of lymphedema:
1.) Acquired lymphedema is occasionally called secondary-lymphedema and results from damage to the lymphatic system causing lymphedema. This type of lymphedema is much more widespread than primary lymphedema.
2.) Inherited lymphedema or primary lymphedema happens when a person is born with missing lymph-vessels and nodes. Swelling normally happens during a person's adolescence and involves the calf or foot. Another rare type of primary lymphedema takes place during infancy and is known as Milroy's disease.
Chronic lymphedema can last for a person's entire lifetime and can be difficult to treat. Swollen appendages can become susceptible to infection as well. For example, a minor injury to the skin such as an insect bite, athlete's-foot between the toes, a scratch, or cut, can lead to a severe infection that physicians call lymphangitis. Lymphangitis damages the connective-tissue beneath the skin. Recurrent infections can result in scarring that leaves the tissue vulnerable to more infections and swelling. Tissues can become hard, known as fibrosis, which is a sign of advanced chronic lymphedema.

Safe Travel Oil by Lucky Mojo
Safe Travel Oil by Lucky Mojo
For safety while on a journey and for a happy welcome home. 1/2 oz.
Spiritual Oils are available for USA and Canadian orders only. Oils shipped outside of the US or Canada can be held up in your country's customs or returned to us. For orders outside of the US/Canada, we substitute sachet powder with full instructions on how to use sachet in place of oil. If you have questions about shipping oils to your country, contact our shipping department at email@example.com before ordering.
When you or someone you love must travel away from home, two conditions are greatly desired -- a safe and happy journey, and return to a welcoming home. Safe Travel Oil is formulated with herbs and roots traditionally associated with safety on the road; use it to anoint your luggage, your vehicle, and yourself.
Safe Travel is a hoodoo formula for oil that dates from the early 20th century. It is usually used by a traveller to anoint his or her personal belongings and vehicle, and may also be applied as a dressing oil to candles that are burned by those who stay at home and await the traveller's safe return. Those who place talismans and amulets in a vehicle may derive benefit from lightly anointing these things with Safe Travel Oil at the beginning of a journey.
Protection of one's vehicle and self while on the road are almost universal desires.
Those who look to saints and gods as protectors may deploy a wide variety of talismans and figural amulets.
Catholics often place small plastic statues on the dashboard of their car. The most popular figures are of Jesus Christ and Saint Christopher, but other patron saints may also be employed. Since the early 20th century, Saint Christopher has been widely appealed to in a prayer ("The Motorist's Prayer") which not only asks for protection of the car but asks for intercession to keep the car from hitting a pedestrian. The prayer is printed on the back of Saint Christopher holy cards.
In Mongolia, taxi drivers hang a laminated image of the Kalachakra (a Tibetan Buddhist symbol) from their rear view mirrors to protect against accident.
In urban China, spinning gold-tone plastic rear view mirror hangers depicting Kwan Yin (a protective goddess who is viewed by some as a Buddhist boddhisatva of compassion) are said to both protect the car and its inhabitants from accident and to protect pedestrians and animals from being hit by the car.

UML Developer Wiki
What's New
The UML module has been removed from the standard distribution. For NetBeans IDE 6.7, there are no new features. For enterprise-class UML support, we recommend SDE for NetBeans by Visual Paradigm.
UML on netbeans.org
XMI Export
From - John Stanford (email@example.com)
It would be very nice to be able to export diagrams as XMI. The FAQ currently indicates this is not supported.
UML Profile Missing
From - Rahul Mahajan(email@example.com)
Sterotypes project feature is something critically missing, UML profiles project feature should be available which should allow users to define new Sterotypes, their attributes etc. and then these profiles can be attached to UML projects.
Sterotypes should have inheritance, should have constraints e.g. <<Facade>> can only be applied to components, it may have attributes like allowTransaction etc.
This will act as a metadata for code generations.
This is something very critical for MDA based projects.
-- Trey Spiva -- Yes we agree. We do have profile support on our roadmap. In a profile editor is planned for the second half of next year. See our road map for more information.
Rahul -Thanks for reading above comments. Just like to add few more lines -
UML Profiles created project will have versions so attached UML modeling projects should have feature of migrating them.
Developers should be able to write custom code generator modules. UML Model reading API framework should allow developers to write custom code generators. So from Netbeans perspective, in future ideally their should be something like create a UML Transformation module.
These modules can be exported as plugins and UML projects should be able to select a transformation module and generate code. This may trigger a callback in Model reading API which will trigger custom templates written in freemaker etc.
I hope it make sense.
Copying UML projects or their elements across projects
From - Moises Lejter (firstname.lastname@example.com)
I noticed you have the ability to copy projects, or elements within a project to another project, in the roadmap - but listed under "Future". I would like to put in a vote (word?) for it to be given more importance: it seems to me that a very common use of UML is to play "what-if" scenarios, to sketch out potential design alternatives, to then be able to compare them to each other. This is very cumbersome to do now in NetBeans UML, since one may need to recreate the whole project from scratch, in order to have a second copy that can illustrate an alternative design. I teach classes on Java and OO design - and this lack makes using NetBeans UML in class very unattractive...
I wrote a little shell script to allow me to copy a complete NetBeans UML project to a second directory, renaming the internal model tag to make it independent of the first - but it seems that NetBeans does not like to then open two of these projects side-by-side. It would be nice if one could, for example, make a copy of an existing UML sequence diagram, then be able to edit the second copy, without the changes propagating back to the first one - that way, one could show the two designs, side by side...
Model driven architecture support
From - Staffan Ericsson (email@example.com)
Hi! I'm a student studying MDA and I miss a lot of features in Netbeans UML during this course.
- Possibility to insert boundaries in class diagrams or show package boundarys in class diagrams.
- Sequence diagrams where each lifeline is directly attached to a component/package
- Datatype attachments to each message in the sequence diagram (based on the datatypes that can be defined in the model)
- Package interaction diagram
- Automatically generated facade/controller/interface classes for packages/components
Sorry for my bad english, but I sadly don't use my english enough. .staffan
PHP UML plugin
Having a PHP version of the plugin has been identified as a nice to have.
C+ UML plugin
Having a C+ version of the plugin has been identified as a nice to have. }}
The UML plugin changed hands from Netbeans to a community-driven effort. Here's the proposed roadmap (items in bold are completed). See project Eidos for more information.
- Update to 6.9
- Make it usable (as it was in 6.7.1)
- Fix P1 issues
- Beta Release
- Fix P2, P3 and below (if possible)
- Release Candidate
- Enhancements
- C++ UML Plugin
- PHP UML Plugin
With the release of NetBeans 6.5, NetBeans Engineering officially stopped all new feature development on NetBeans UML plugin.
This decision was taken after matching our resources with the overall roadmap and priorities.
The UML offering, which is robust and relatively comprehensive, is enough to satisfy the needs of most developers. For more advanced capabilities that would appeal to the expert user and the enterprise, we believe it would be of more value to work with our partners to provide the NetBeans community with credible complimentary offerings.
We are partnering with Visual Paradigm, a strategic NetBeans partner and an industry leader in this space, to provide a solution for those who need these additional capabilities beyond what is provided by the NetBeans UML plugin. SDE for NetBeans from Visual Paradigm provides a wide range of enterprise class features including:
- Importing existing NetBeans UML projects
- Full UML 2.0 support
- Team collaboration capabilities
- Code generation for Java, C++, PHP and more
Learn more at Visual Paradigm SDE for NetBeans
The UML code is available on netbeans.org and community members can create new features or enhancements.
Also see plans for a re-write of the plugin.
Code Generation
User Interface
- UML options dialog
- UML Imported Elements
- UMLDiagramUpgradeDocumentation
- FutureColorsandFonts
- Right-click actions
UML Functional Testing Guidelines For Community Testers
- NetBeans UML plugin only supports the following 5 diagrams. Please do not file issue on the missing diagrams since there are already issues to track them.
- Activity Diagram
- Class Diagram
- Sequence Diagram
- State Diagram
- Use Case Diagram
- Since some UML 2.0 features are not supported in NB UML, if you want to file bugs for missing features please file them as feature issues instead of defect issues.
- For UML bugs, use the following component & version and reference the following bug priority guidelines. Before filing a bug, it's good to confirm to see if such a bug already exists by searching in the existing unresolved bug list first.
- Component: uml
- Version: 6.5
- Priority: refer to NetBeans Bug Priority Guidelines

Emerging Designer Spotlight: Diego Rocha
Diego Rocha is on an upswing. After winning the Independent Handbag Designer Awards in the Best Handmade Handbag category and a feature in the September issue of InStyle, his business has seen a spike. Already a well-known Chicago name, this custom handbag designer specializing in exotic skins has a following. It may be due to the sheer quality of his lux leather bags or his persnickety way of constructing every piece with with the utmost attention to detail. It could also be that a trip to his Gold Coast boutique is such an intimate, memorable experience, ladies and sometimes boyfriends and spouses too, become hooked. With up to 100 color options and skins in anaconda, alligator python and ostrich in a variety of perfected silhouettes, it's couture handbag design at its finest. During a recent visit, we saw a new customer that had been eying his bags from the window for some time, finally come in. She chose the Baby Jane silhouette and wanted it in a soft pink python skin for spring. The combination was perfect, something very head-turning and of the season. However, it wasn't just the selection process that made the experience unique, but the way Diego customized the bag to her lifestyle, making sure he knew how, where and why it will be used. His guidance, along with his charming, energetic personality, left her with a few words, "You're perfect. You know what I want."
What's next for Diego Rocha? Upping the ante with sophisticated hardware and subtle branding through his crocodile paw emblem and more exposure from the premier season of Project Accessory.

Latest News
Senate committee abandons the chamber's traditional seating chart
WASHINGTON—Traditions die hard in the U.S. Senate, but one expired largely unnoticed Wednesday in a small corner of the Capitol.
It didn't go unnoticed in the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, however.
To foster more bipartisanship, the committee changed the seating arrangements so that senators, instead of sitting divided by party and staring at each other from across the room, now sit side by side.
Democrats next to Republicans, of all things. What will they think of next?
But the Senate columns didn't crumble and the Capitol dome didn't crack. A few senatorial faces went blank, however, when members walked into the hearing room and looked helplessly around for their nameplates.
Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., stood in the doorway behind the horseshoe-shaped dais looking from side to side, unsure of which way to turn. His aide, who had trouble finding her own spot minutes earlier, finally caught her boss' eye and vigorously pointed to his new perch.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., the committee chairman, made the change at the suggestion of Sen. Claire McCaskill, a freshman Democrat from Missouri. But with only four committee members present when Lieberman kicked off the meeting, he joked, "I hope the new seating arrangement has not discouraged people to attend."
Indeed, McCaskill was a bit startled that an offhand suggestion suddenly became policy and turned the place topsy-turvy. She apologized for any undue "stress" it caused the Senate staff.
"It was as if lightning had struck the building and that the glass and the panes were shaking," she said. "It was really just a suggestion, and I didn't stomp my feet or demand change."
Whether this new era of good feeling in the homeland security committee will spread throughout the Senate is doubtful. Physically divided government on Capitol Hill started in the 1840s. But the idea has supporters from both sides.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the ranking Republican on the committee, told Lieberman she was "happy to sit either on your left or your right." Collins was now to his right. When she was chairman before last fall's election, she was to his left. Wait. Did she mean . . . ?
Whatever. If nothing else, it was another freshman lesson.
"You know," McCaskill said, "I've learned in the short time I've been here, that when they say in the United States Senate, `It's always been done that way,' they really s mean it."

Taking a pause
Dear Family and Friends,
"It is time to take a pause," Yusto announced as he stood up to take a well deserved break from his varied duties as Igoda's gifted teacher librarian. As our trip to Tanzania unwinds it is time to "take a pause" and reflect on some of this year's experiences. I"ll start with Yusto who puts his heart, soul and creativity into teaching expectant classes of children entering the library. His expressive ways captures their attention and ours too. His simple greetings in English, their third language, transformed into delightful vignettes. Stories came alive as he translated with dramatic embellishments in English and Kiswahili. It's a pleasure to work with Yusto - a man who would love the opportunity to complete high school and attend teachers' college. I cherish and learn from his cultural insights. After a recent discussion about the behaviour of many men in the village, their lack of responsibility and commitment to their wives and families, Yusto sadly shook his head saying, "Women have heavy burdens in love." To have the villages of Mufindi populated with Yustos would have a lasting transformative effect!
Upendo, meaning love, lived up to her name as she lovingly prepared meals at Protea Point for hungry volunteers. Shortly after sunrise, I could hear her sharp panga whacking a branch, then the smell of woodsmoke from her cooking stove. We would be drawn upstairs to inviting aromas of home cooked buns and bread. Two days ago she called me into the pantry to see Mama Gideon's gift to us - a live chicken protesting its confinement. Returning to the kitchen a few minutes later I discovered the chicken's status had altered dramatically. It lay in a motionless heap in the kitchen sink while Upendo and Mama Gideon efficiently plucked and dissected. This was to be our last lunch of the year at Protea and they were determined to celebrate it with a rare table sighting - a piece of meat.
Frida and Akida, are 20 year old dedicated young people who work for the Foxes NGO improving the lives of orphans and vulnerable children. While we were there they both helped to rewrite The Princess and the Pea in Kiswahili and co directed it. During the day Frida works as a practical nurse at the Children's Village caring for orphans. She is putting her sister through secondary school and gives money to her mother who has a pombe (alcohol) problem. Frida put her own education on hold but this year retook her Form 4 exams in addition to working full time, growing vegetables in her shamba and caring for her family. When her exam results arrived it was heartbreaking as she learned she had failed and was utterly devastated. Of those students in Mufindi who were retaking this exam 117 received a D and 143 failed. She was sobbing and believed her dream of becoming a nurse had evaporated. Fortunately with donations from our charity we are going to support her at school full time. After obtaining a nursing degree, Frida wants to come back to Mufindi to work which will greatly benefit all those who come in contact with her.
Visiting Blantina is always uplifting and yesterday was a perfect conclusion to our stay in Mufindi. Blantina is 35 years old but looks more like 65. She suffers from ostio genesis imperfecto, a degenerative bone disease. Blantina is tiny and very fragile. Hugging delicately and with caution is essential. With the use of a walker she is able to get around and care for her two children. A year ago when we first met Blantina she was sitting on a small stool amid billows of smoke from a wood fire. Her home was made of mud with large gaping holes in the makouti (straw) roof. This made life very challenging during the rainy season. She didn't complain or ask for any help. Ruth's cousin was touched by Blantina's courage and sent $2,500 - enough for a new home. It was into this new home that Blantina and her children welcomed us. We helped to unwrap her new mattresses and placed them on her new wooden slatted beds. Her large intelligent eyes were beaming. Then in a soft voice she gave a prayer of thanks. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Blantina is looked up to in the village as a kind, caring and deeply religious woman.
When I'm "taking a pause" I most often think of the children. The small waifs standing by the dirt road greeting us on our way to school, children running along the road with handmade toys as simple as tire rims and sticks, children listening wide eyed and intently to a story, running children eager to receive their meal in a mug, long lines of children walking home - up and down the hills after long days at school and performing children who have found their voices on stage.
Most visitors to Tanzania come to see the incredible wildlife. But our trips are about people. I must admit something is missing if I don't catch a glimpse of animals from a car or plane window. Today was no exception. We left Mufindi in a 12 seater plane which landed 4 times before eventually reaching Dar. Safari clad passengers were being picked up and dropped off in various locations in Ruraha park and the Selous. From my window I saw herds of elephants, giraffes, zebras and clusters of wallowing hippos. Although the spectacle from my window should have distracted me, my protesting stomach finally rebelled after the fourth landing on a bumpy dirt runway. It didn't help after seeing a crippled 12 seater plane at the side of this runway. It had come to an abrupt stop after colliding with a wandering impala.
Ruth and I are returning with souvenirs of our journey. Not the kind we had hoped for. I am covered with flea bites and Ruth has a nasty, festering red bite called Nairobi eye. Regardless of the physical irritations we've picked up along the way, I will miss the intensity, the surprise, the sense that life is very real - hard, and at times quite lovely!
Goodnight and see you soon.
Much love,

NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has released its annual crime report, which shows an increase overall in reported instances of crime.
Findings in the 2017 report show reported instances of murder increased 6.7 percent from 2016 to 2017, while reported rape offenses increased 3.2 percent. Arrests increased by 0.1 percent, and the report said juveniles accounted for 6.4 percent of all arrests, down from 6.5 percent a year earlier.
The TBI said the number of DUI arrests continued falling during the past year. Drug/narcotic violations increased 4.9 percent. In domestic violence cases, "simple assault" accounted for 67 percent of reports.
The study compiles data from each law enforcement agency in the state.

How to be Approved for a Loan – sometimes life brings forth expenses that we just can't cover out of pocket.
In order to cover these unexpected expenses, many people decide to take out a loan from a local lender.
Not everyone, however, is eligible for a 'good' loan.
Want to Know How to be Approved for a Loan?
Most people can get approved for a loan, but not everyone can take out the same type of loan.
People with good credit tend to get better rates and terms for the loans that they qualify for.
Those with poor or limited credit, on the other hand, usually get lower limits and higher rates—which is good in a sense, but can add up quickly.
Regardless of your financial history, it's possible to learn how to be approved for a loan.
To learn how to be approved for loans, read on.
How To Be Approved For A Loan: What To Know
As mentioned, most people can qualify for a loan.
The amount that they qualify for, however, does depend on factors like their financial history and ability to repay the loan.
Your credit score and history
Your credit score and history both hold a lot of weight when it comes to qualifying for a loan.
As they say, the better your credit, the more likely you're to be accepted for better loans.
Your credit report records the history of your credit transactions and applications over time.
Occasionally, you'll be scored based on those parameters; the resulting score is your credit score.
Various factors can affect your credit score, including frequent credit applications, missed or late payments and being turned down for credit.
You can check your credit score online. Nowadays, many financial institutions have integrated applications that allow you to reference your credit score instantaneously, so you can check at any time.
The 'Right' Loan
Even if you apply for a loan, you likely won't get approved if it's not a loan that suits your needs.
So, let's say, if you apply for a large loan with limited credit, your lender likely won't approve your loan due to your lack of credit history.
A lender will see if you can repay your loan each month, which is why you should aim for a loan that's manageable.
Many reputable lenders warn prospective borrowers about 'borrowing too much,' suggesting that they only borrow enough funds that they can cover in monthly repayments.
It's best to apply for a loan that suits your needs.
If you have relatively good credit, you can try to borrow a larger amount of funds at a favourable rate.
However, if you are not in that position, it is better to aim for smaller loans with good enough rates, as long as you can make the payments each month.
