"For twenty years, my research has shown that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved in stone — the fixed mindset — creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. If you have only a certain amount of intelligence, a certain personality, and a certain moral character — well, then you'd better prove that you have a healthy dose of them. It simply wouldn't do to look or feel deficient in these most basic characteristics.
I've seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves — in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated:Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or dumb? Will I be accepted or rejected? Will I feel like a winner or a loser? . . .
There's another mindset in which these traits are not simply a hand you're dealt and have to live with, always trying to convince yourself and others that you have a royal flush when you're secretly worried it's a pair of tens. In this mindset, the hand you're dealt is just the starting point for development. This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way — in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments — everyone can change and grow through application and experience.
Do people with this mindset believe that anyone can be anything, that anyone with proper motivation or education can become Einstein or Beethoven? No, but they believe that a person's true potential is unknown (and unknowable); that it's impossible to foresee what can be accomplished with years of passion, toil, and training." (Carol Dweck)
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck popularized the idea of the growth mindset versuses the fixed mindset. Very simply, the growth mindset assumes that your abilities, intelligence, creativity, etc. can be developed and cultivated over time. On the other hand, the fixed mindset assumes that you are born with those abilities and they will stay at the same level. Although these two ideas sound simple, their ramifications are profound. The two different mindsets affect your relationships, dating, career, education, and many other areas of life.
All throughout school, I was reasonably good at math, towards the top of my class in fact. I saw many students who said and truly believed that they sucked at math due to their own genetics. They thought they could never do better. They saw how well I did and assumed that I was just naturally gifted. However, the truth was, I spent many hours after class focusing on the math topics that were taught in school. My father always told me that math was trainable. Although I didn't believe him at the time, I can see it now as I look back. I spent hours looking up additional resources to try to really understand mathematical concepts and principles. I looked for additional practice exercises online and in bookstores. I tried to get my hands on everything I could find in order to improve myself. It was almost an obsession. Every time I found something I couldn't understand, I wanted more. That is the reason why I was good at math. It was my relentless drive and work ethic. Over time, I had cultivated a greater capacity to learn math. I realized I could learn math faster than others because of all the years of practice I had already put in place. It wasn't because I was naturally born with that gift.
Based on Dweck's research, there are other benefits to having a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset are more likely to take on greater challenges. They look for a way to learn more rather than look smart. They are more likely to persist when things go bad rather than give up. They see effort as a way to improve and ultimate achieve one's goal rather than as a worthless endeavor. Perhaps more importantly, they see the success of others as inspiration and not as a threat.
As you can probably imagine, the growth mindset can affect your relationships as well. It can drive you to improve your communication skills, your networking abilities, and your desire to ask out more people. This mindset can affect your career. It can drive you to work towards higher level positions or to take more risks in your own business ventures. It can open your mind to opportunities that you wouldn't otherwise consider. It can drive you to collaborate more effectively since you are no longer threatened by the success of others. It can inspire you to create more since failure is just another reason to keep trying since you found one thing that doesn't work.
Carol Dweck's work is truly fascinating and its implications can change your life. If you are interested, I recommend checking out some of the articles below or reading her book.

Commercial UPS
2 Phase ARD 5HP to 10HP
The Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) works on the principle of powering and operating the Elevator Controller at rated Voltage to perform the Rescue operation. The Rescue device interfaces with the VFD which has a unique feature of "Low voltage DC operation" to operate the Elevator Motor with Low voltage Battery.
The ARD comprises of Two-phase processor based inverter. During Mains power ON, it monitors the power and continuously charges the Batteries. In the event of a power failure, the Rescue device will activate within the selectable "response time". The Powerful Inverter will produce and supply 2-Phase,440V, sinusoidal power to the Controller. The Controller is now energized with 2-Phase power and will run the Motor in the nearest direction at low speed and bring the Elevator to the immediate next floor and opens the door automatically. Upon opening the doors, the trapped passengers shall exit and the Inverter will be off to prevent any further battery drain. When normal power resumes, the Automatic Rescue will automatically switch over the Controller to Normal Operation i.e 3Phase Input.
This device is suitable for those buildings which doesn't have an emergency power source allocated for the elevator.
To fulfill the needs of customers and to make it fit for many applications, we offer various models of Lift inverter:
ARD 5HP, ARD 7.5HP, ARD 10HP in Double Phase

By Oliver Hall
Motorists have been warned about the importance of regularly checking their car tyres after the spate of recent bad weather, by a leading insurance website.
Compareinsurers.com have issued reminders to drivers about how good tyres can lead to better car handling and a smoother driving which will result in fewer insurance claims.
They have suggested vehicle owners should check to make sure their tyres have plenty of tread to ensure they are within legal limits.
The better the tread depth, the greater grip and control drivers will have on the road. The tread provides control in slippery conditions, while dispersing high volumes of water in wet weather. The legal tread depth for tyres in the UK is currently 1.6mm.
Compareinsurers.co.uk also urges motorists to check their tyre pressure. The correct pressure can improve fuel efficiency as well as optimum safety. For high performance it is preferable to check the pressure on a weekly basis.
Over-inflated tyres are particularly dangerous because they decrease the surface area of the tyre on the road and subsequently the grip on the tarmac.

My introduction to Eric Bana came with Ang Lee's Hulk and, on a more credible level, Steven Spielberg's Munich. Somehow I completely missed the actor's breakout role in the 2000 movie, Chopper, so I can't say I'm excited or disappointed with the news that Bana may be signing on for a second run with this character, Mark "Chopper" Read.
The first movie is based on the autobiography of the real criminal "Chopper" Read, and required Bana to pack on a fair amount of extra weight for the role. Now, according to comedian Heath Franklin, who stars in a live show inspired by Chopper titled "Make Deads," there's a rumor floating around that Bana may sign on for a follow-up picture.
Moviehole.net reports on the rumor with a great amount of skepticism, and you can't blame them. Just look at the source - an unrelated comedian talking to The Herald Sun. Even Franklin says he doesn't know how much weight the rumor holds. Considering another part of the original article is the comedian debunking a rumor due to it being "information filtering through other people," I wouldn't put much stock in this news.
The story about a sequel may be mostly unreliable, but it does inspire me to want to check out the original Chopper just to see Bana in such a lauded role. Is this a picture that just missed my radar completely due to the real person not having much popularity in my area, or are there more out there like me who haven't heard of the move until today?

My old grumpy dog

More grump than before
And more lumps than before
His joints hurt when he jumps
And he sleeps most of the day
And through the night.
He hates the rain

It is common in my application, a Bible program, that indexes each verse (think of a verse as a numbered sentence) as a separate document. We index everything, including words that are typically stop words as those might be important to our end users. Besides this, the top 280 word roots represent 90% of the occurrences. And on searches, we return everything in book order, unless the user wants to score the result. In that case, we return a small, user configurable amount of hits ordered by score. And we are using Lucene out of the box for the most part.

Cape Town has sound infrastructure across all sectors, commitment to entrepreneurial expansion and visible evidence of investment in our world-class CBD.
The City spends approximately ZAR8.4bn annually on building new infrastructure and maintaining existing infrastructure. In addition, the Western Cape Province will spend about R9.4bn over the next three years on infrastructure and transport in Cape Town.
Since 2014, the City has made significant advances in harnessing the power of technology. The municipality has to date installed fibre-optic cables with a combined length of over 800km and has provided accelerated internet access to over 1 million people through nearly 400 free Wi-Fi zones spread out across the metro.
The City of Cape Town's Transport and Urban Development Authority (TDA) combines the functions of integrated transport, urban development and elements of human settlements into a single governmental body, thereby dramatically improving efficiency and focusing on spatial transformation of Cape Town.
One of the City's biggest infrastructure projects is the Development of Cape Town's Foreshore Freeway Precinct. The City's unfinished freeways that straddle the Foreshore Freeway Precinct have been the subject of much debate and discussion. For many years consideration was given to decide on the best way to deal with them, in order to unlock the economic potential of a significant segment of the City. This had to be done in a way that would potentially enhance and complete the urban design of Cape Town's bustling Central Business District (CBD).

More than just Predators and Hellfires, the US military is developing drone programs that are changing the future of defense
In early January, the US military succeeded in capturing headlines and imaginations when they provided an inside look at their latest advances in drone technology. In the midst of the preparations for the battle of Mosul, 60 Minutes ran a story about the Perdix drone program that represents the next stage of integration into the armed forces. In the test that was carried out in October of last year, 103 of the Perdix microdrones were jettisoned mid-flight by three F/A-18 Super Hornets, engaging in an aerial exercise.
Already in their 6th generation, these small drones with their wingspan under a foot across work together as perhaps the ultimate Internet of Things, communicating as a swarm to carry out their mission. Unlike the drones that have come to prominence over the past 15 years in the wars with al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, controlled by pilots sitting on bases like Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, these little machines are operated through Artificial Intelligence.
By moving away from the human-controlled model, they allow these microdrones far more autonomy to respond far faster to new situations and needs.
"Due to the complex nature of combat, Perdix are not pre-programmed synchronized individuals, they are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature," said Strategic Capabilities Office Director William Roper whose organization played a role in developing the project alongside the Department of Defense (DoD) and Naval Air Systems Command. "Because every Perdix communicates and collaborates with every other Perdix, the swarm has no leader and can gracefully adapt to drones entering or exiting the team."
As opposed to their larger cousin, the $15 million Predator drone, the Perdix is fairly cheap and is undergoing a fairly rapid development cycle. That makes it perhaps more similar to a consumer-type device than a classical military one. This expendability could also expand their use in operations, reaching out to more units and for more missions.
Zooming out a bit, there appears to be a move on the part of the DoD to explore smaller, cheaper drones that can be integrated with units. The focus of these drones appears to be on acting as a force multiplier, giving the military valuable information beyond their current capacity.
"Unmanned vehicles, like many other capabilities in the DoD, are viewed as force multipliers," says LTC Roger M. Cabiness II from the Office of the Secretary of Defense-Public Affairs at the DoD. "These types of vehicles, and the underlying technology are a resource to enhance support to service members by improving the information used to make decisions to ultimately improve effects on the battlefield."
Beyond the Perdix project, there are a number of other small drone initiatives being spearheaded by the military that are worth keeping an eye on.
1. PARC: Persistent Aerial Reconnaissance and Communications
PARC is a tethered, small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by CyPhy capable of staying airborne for several days LTC Cabiness tells Geektime. Once in the air, the PARC drone acts as its name describes, providing images from its perch in the sky and helping to give the team better reception for communications. Carrying infrared cameras or similar sensors, LTC Cabiness explains that PARC uses a microfilament line to carry power up to the UAV and HD imagery data down to the operator.
This kind of drone essentially gives soldiers in the field the advantage of gaining a kind of high ground no matter where they are. It is easy to see how this tool will quickly find its way onto forward operating bases or in convoys.
2. InstantEye
Developed through the sponsorship of the Rapid Reaction Technology Office and the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office, LTC Cabiness explains to Geektime that the InstantEye provides tactical operators with enhanced situational awareness and instantaneous overhead video on demand.
Small and weighing only 200 grams, LTC Cabiness says that the InstantEye can be stowed compactly in a small canister and quickly unfolded and deployed when needed, streaming video back to the controller. This is basically the military's version of a standard microdrone that gives special forces soldiers the ability to peek in through windows, over walls, and get around other obstructions in order to get a better intelligence picture of their situation.
3. AWESUM: Advanced Weapons Enhanced by Submarine UAS against Mobile targets
How often do you have a piece of military technology with a kick-ass name like AWESUM?
This navy drone was developed through the sponsorship of the Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) Program to help give submarine sailors a wider picture outside of what they can see through the periscope and sonar.
Shot out of the sub's countermeasures launchers, this three-pound, three-inch unmanned aerial system (UAS) gives the crew a bird's eye view to assist in tasks like targeting and assessing damage following combat.
For years now, submarines have acted as platforms for underwater vehicles and personnel like SEALs. With this drone, they gain an eye in the sky. Add to this the fact that the AWESUM's control and sensor feeds are integrated directly into the combat control system, and they gain a real edge in battle. According to LTC Cabiness, the technology for this project has already made its debut onto US subs, being first introduced in November 2016.
Is the future of drones in the US military coming from the commercial market
One of the details that popped out in their January statement on the tests was the fact that these drones were built using totally commercial materials.
The Perdix project came out of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) lab and not the legendary DARPA. These days many of the military's advancements in robotics seem to be coming out of the Cambridge area, with Boston Dynamics establishing itself as one of the big names pumping out bots that catch headlines.
While their Big Dog robot that was aimed at carrying heavy loads for troops in the field was rejected by the Marines for being really, really noisy, their latest invention series of devices are getting faster, rolling and jumping into people's nightmares.
It is unclear whether some of these fast moving, bi-ped bots will have military uses, but once they solve some of the major kinks for civilian use, they could easily move over some of the basic concepts.
Once that happens, it might not be too long until we need to take out Robot Insurance from great providers like Old Glory.
In the statement released by the DoD after the Perdix test was publicized, they included an interesting tidbit: the researchers utilized a fast development model of issuing constant updates, a system that is far closer to that of a lean startup than traditional defense programs.
The fact they are made out of publicly available parts shows how fast the private sector is pushing forward in the sector, in many instances perhaps prepared to overtake the military in the development of drone technology.
At this point, it may be worth asking whether the next period of innovation will increasingly come from the private sector. I still remember back to 2004 when the civilian GPS was far more accurate than what we had in the IDF's infantry units. Now Waze, Google Maps, and Moovit completely blow that older technology out of the water.
Drones like the Mavic coming out of DJI are breaking boundaries of what are possible in the civilian market. Even Islamic State fighters in Mosul are using commercially bought drones for intelligence gathering and aerial bombings, gaining low-level yet surprisingly effective air capability that would not have been possible five or ten years ago.
While many of these advancements are both scary and exciting, we shouldn't expect to see swarms of drones buzzing through the air anytime soon. The DoD is currently looking for a manufacturer that can produce 1,000 units of the Perdix drones a year and has stated that they are looking to improve on the drone for the "Gen 7" version.
Unlike commercial drones that are used for fun or maybe some light work purposes, military grade drones need to prove that they are reliable and can take some punishment from the bumps of the field. Then there are additional considerations about the manufacturers, who we can assume the DoD would prefer were not based in China where there are likely security concerns from companies like DJI.
One company that has caught my eye in developing ground-based robots is Tel Aviv's Roboteam with their product line of three main bots, the MTGR, Iris, and the heavy Probot.
As robots and automation et large continue to make their way into our lives, we can plan to see plenty more of these innovations in the military space. Some like the PARC may seem totally uncontroversial in their purpose, essentially acting as floating cameras that would otherwise have been mounted on blimps. However, the combination of robotics with AI in a military context may put others on edge. Not that anyone is expecting a rise of the bots anytime soon a la Bender Bending Rodriguez-style, but the roll out of this technology needs to done with a lot of transparency and clear guidelines on their use.

One of the worst parts about comedy as a genre, is that due to the changing of the times with every decade, comedies age faster than most genres, maybe outside of romance films. Some people will argue that political correctness is killing comedy because people are too sensitive. I 100% disagree, because that's simply not the case. What is killing comedy are directors and writers doing things like letting actors improv too long, not telling actors to stop going off script, doing shock humor for shock sake, and not having a point to their humor. Why do you think people still watch films like Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Animal House, Back to School, The Great Outdoors, Ghostbusters, The Blues Brothers, Airplane!, Life of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Producers, Space Balls, and so on? It's because while having some elements that probably don't hold up as well all the way through, they had great writing and characters. People laughed because they made fantastic jokes. This is why comedies from 2018 have been rather impressive, because they focus on what makes good comedies. This is why this review will be of the underrated Game Night, directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.
The story focuses on a competitive couple named Max and Annie Davis, played by Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams. They are trying to have children, but Max is having trouble due to stress and the upcoming visit from his brother Brooks Davis, played by Kyle Chandler. Sadly for Max, that visit happens on one of their famous Game Nights that the couple has with their friends Ryan, played by Billy Magnussen, and Kevin and his wife Michelle, played by Lamorne Morris and Kylie Bunbury. Unfortunately for Max, Brooks decides to offer the idea that he will host the next game night. A week later, Max, Annie, Kevin, Michelle, Ryan, and Ryan's co-worker Sarah, played by Sharon Horgan, go to Brook's house that he's renting for his visit, and find out that they are going to be doing a murder mystery game. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the game turns out to not be a game, and Brooks is kidnapped, and it's up to Max, Annie, and their friends to try and get Brooks back and find out what the heck happened, and what is going on!
The strength of this film is definitely in its writing and characters. Instead of letting actors improv their lines, the directors and writers gave the actors actual characters and personalities. When you have a large group of characters who have to all be in the same scene, you have to make that work, and we have seen line-o-rama destroy that with scenes going on too long, talented people thinking they can improv, and the director not telling them to stop or to cut that scene. Luckily, Game Night is focused, and you enjoy the characters' comradery when they are separated and together. You can tell what kind of person everyone is by their mannerisms, dialogue, and actions. Gee, when you have a focused goal and identity, it sure seems to make for a much better comedy than say, Holmes and Watson, Sisters, or Wine Country. Not only is the comedy really funny in this film, it does not focus on too many of the lazy tropes you find in comedy films like pop culture references, "hip" lingo, and so on. They had good jokes that were funny, because, well, they were funny.
On top of the great comedy in the movie, the film looks good! Another major problem with comedies is that when they have low budgets, or lackluster teams working on them, the lighting and set-up can make everything look too made-for-TV or look like a Netflix film release. It's a major problem with a lot of Tyler Perry films and comedies like Night School. Luckily, the cinematography and the locations they go to look like there was some elbow grease put into them. They even have shots and locations set up that look like model landscapes or board pieces, which gives the film a nice touch and a pinch of personality. It might be a comedy, but it's a comedy that's shot like a crime thriller. It's funny, but it's also exciting and intense to watch the gang put the puzzle pieces together and try to figure out the overall plan. It has very entertaining action set pieces that also helps bring more to the table than other comedies.
Of course, a good comedy wouldn't be successful, if the cast didn't work. You have Jason Bateman, who already had a stacked resume with Zootopia, Arrested Development, and Ozark, and it was nice to see Rachel McAdams get a good boost from the disaster that was True Detective Season 2. The entire cast is good, but special mention has to go to Jesse "I'm going to be in everything you love" Plemons as Max and Annie's neighbor Gary. He steals every scene that he is in, and always got the biggest laughs whenever he was used in the story. It just shows how versatile of an actor he is.
Now, no movie is perfect, and while I loved Game Night, I have a few complaints about it. I found the main antagonist to be pretty dull. He's a generic British bad guy, and I wish he was written to be funnier. I also found that when everyone was separated, Lamorne Morris and Kylie Bunbury had the weakest story arc together. They had a few good lines and sequences, but their subplot was the weakest of the couples in the film. I also wish the finale had the others involved. It just cuts to Jason and Rachel's character doing the last bit, and while it is fun to watch them work together to get Chandler from the grasps of the villain, it would have been fun to see what the others would have done to help.
Even with those complaints, Game Night is probably the best comedy of 2018, and while that year also had The Death of Stalin, Blockers, and films with comedic elements like The Favourite and Upgrade, Game Night is still the one that I enjoyed the most. It's funny, well-written, entertaining, timeless, and it's one of the few comedies that I bought on Blu-ray, and I don't really do it that often. Game Night was a lot of fun, and I would be glad to come back to the next Game Night and say Play it again!

have any idea how much I CLEANED today?
You don't?
Count your blessings. My goodness, my house needed the scrubbing and while it took all stinking day, it was clean for just a few glorious moments. Now, laundry is towering on my bed. We must put it away before bed, or it'll never get done! Dirty boy clothes are in a trail from the living room to the bathroom, and there are indeed dishes in the sink. Toys sprinkle the floor, promising that I'll step on one and probably say a bad word. Blah.
Sad. How is one supposed to have a house of order when my little princes so blatantly sabatoge my efforts?
Oh well, I'm eating birthday cheesecake, so life is indeed delicious.

Sunshine, glorious sunshine - a whole week of it! I remember writing a few weeks ago about my excitement over working with the windows open. This week, keeping the windows open at work became a necessity! Most afternoons, we even had to close the windows and switch on the air conditioning. It's been like a little taste of summer in Seattle!
Over the weekend, Andy and I headed to Vashon Island to participate in our first WTA work party. Since the Shinglemill Creek trail we were working on was under King County Parks jurisdiction, we had access to a nearby Parks Department field and warehouse to camp out in Saturday Night. After a lazy Saturday morning, we headed to the island. Luckily, earlier that morning, I had remembered that the cidery that makes my favorite hard cider is on Vashon, so before heading to the camp area, we made a stop at Dragon's Head Cider. They were super friendly and all five of the ciders they had in their tasting flight were as delicious as the Pippin Cider I love. Seeing their display of small batch experimental ciders was especially interesting. After our tasting, we each had a glass of cider and drank in the sun.
After getting to the warehouse and setting up our tent, we joined the volunteer crew for a potluck dinner. After chatting for several hours around a glorious campfire, we all crawled into our tents early so we'd be ready to rise with the sun for a day of hard trail work. The trail work itself was all sorts of fun. I spent most of the morning trimming back salmonberry and pulling up as many nettles as I could, then in the afternoon, I joined a crew digging up ferns to cut a new loop off the main trail. It was incredible seeing the drastic transformation a few of us could make in three hours.

Quality Matters!
Nine of ORTECH's field personnel have written, and passed Qualified Source Testing Individual (QSTI) exams and are QSTI accredited. The goal of the Source Evaluation Society (SES) QSTI exam and abilities assessment is to determine whether a candidate demonstrates the knowledge and the ability to apply source testing methods and fundamental engineering and chemistry principles in a manner consistent with that of a field test team leader.
The SES QSTI program is one way to satisfy the accreditation standard for organizations, and potentially new regulations, as the SES QSTI exams are designed to assess competence and a basic understanding of source testing methods.
The QSTI program is consistent with the mission of the SES to advance the applied sciences relating to source evaluation with respect to air pollution and air pollution control by:
- Promoting the development of concepts and techniques relating to the field;
- Encouraging related professional development and knowledge; and
- Striving to ensure the highest professional standards by its members.
The QSTI accreditation program is comprised of a series of exams; each exam successfully completed with a score of greater than 80% gives the individual the opportunity to apply for accreditation for the methods covered on that exam. An application package must then be prepared by the individual that includes technical background, examples of competency and references.
The application package is reviewed by a SES review board to determine if the individual meets the accreditation requirements. The methods covered under each exam are summarized below:
Group 1: Manual Gas Volume and Flow Measurements and Isokinetic Particulate Sampling Methods
Group 1A: Stack Gas Velocity and Flowrate Measurements (equivalent to partial Group 1 qualification)
Group 2: Manual Gaseous Pollutants Source Sampling Methods

I am a proponent of doing things right the first time. Particularly when it comes to home design. Small details are easily overlooked when viewing floor plans on paper. They may seem minor in theory but will have a major impact on how your space functions in real life. This is a great reason to work with a designer while you are in the planning phase. It is our job to catch and correct mistakes, saving you from making costly corrections down the road.
Unfortunately, architects and builders do not always plan electrical outlets in the most useful location on the wall. After all these years, I am still shocked when I review a set of plans and find a single outlet centered behind the head of the bed in a master bedroom. This is also a problem when the outlet is located behind a couch or console in the living room. We live in a world where just about everything has a charger. Not having easy access to an outlet is unacceptable.
So how do we deal with inconveniently placed outlets if relocating them is not an option? Allow me to introduce the couch cord!
Couch cords (also known as sofa cords) are basically two separate extension cords joined in the center at the main plug. There are typically three outlets on each end of the cord giving you six total. Each length of cord runs around six feet long for an overall length of twelve feet. No more twisting your arm behind the couch to plug in a lamp or charge your phone.
The plug below has a flat head. This is also called a wall hugger. It sits flush on the wall and doesn't protrude or obstruct furniture that sits in front of it. This is especially nice behind a bed. Accommodating a regular plug (not a wall hugger) can push the mattress or box spring about two inches away from the wall.
If you are in the planning phase of a new build or remodel, take this opportunity to hire a designer. They will help you catch mistakes like these. If you are in an existing home that has poorly placed outlets, save your elbows and get a couch cord.

The Birth of Jesus: Removing our Blinders
The Christmas season is in full swing now. Lights shimmer, bells ring and shoppers rush home with their treasures. Churches display nativity scenes, complete with Mary and Joseph in a stable. The story of the birth of Jesus is retold each Christmas in pageants and pulpits, but sometimes even the most familiar stories need to be dusted off and re-examined. For example, we often forget that the birth of Jesus took place in the Middle East. Our Western mindset often blinds us from seeing what really happened on that night so long ago. So since it's the season, lets take a closer look at this well-known story.
Here is the story of the birth of Christ in the words of Luke:
Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. (This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:1-12 NASB)
Like any good autocratic ruler, Caesar Augustus wanted maximum revenues in his coffers so by taking a census, he could make sure how many people lived in his empire. This way, he could make sure that everyone paid their fare share. So the residents of Israel had to travel to their hometowns and register. Since Joseph was from Bethlehem, the "city of David," he and Mary returned to that city.
One question worth asking is: why did Luke refer to Bethlehem as the "city of David"? True, it was David's birthplace, but every other Biblical reference to the city of David refers to Jerusalem, not Bethlehem.
According to Biblical scholar Kenneth Bailey, "the family of David was so famous in Bethlehem that local folk apparently called the town 'the city of David.'" People were proud of Jesse's son—Hometown Boy Becomes King. David's success put Bethlehem on the map.
Fourteen generations later, Joseph is born. He is a direct descendant of King David. (Matthew 1:2-16) Joseph is royal through and through and as such, according to Bailey, he would be welcomed anywhere in Bethlehem.
Joseph was returning to the village of his origin. In the Middle East, historical memories are long, and the extended family, with its connection to its village of origin, is important. In such a world a man like Joseph could have appeared in Bethlehem, and told people, "I am Joseph, son of Heli, son of Matthat, the son of Levi and most homes in town would be open to him."[1]
This perspective challenges the notion that the townspeople turned Mary and Joseph away.
Secondly, a familiar version of the Christmas story has Mary giving birth to Jesus alone in a stable (attended by adoring cows and sheep). Is this what really happened? Again, according to Bailey, who lived in the Middle East for forty years:
In every culture a woman about to give birth is given special attention. Simple rural communities the world over always assist one of their own women in childbirth regardless of the circumstances. Are we to imagine that Bethlehem was an exception? Was there no sense of honor in Bethlehem? Surely the community would have sensed its responsibility to help Joseph find adequate shelter for Mary and provide the care she needed. To turn away a descendent of David in the "City of David" would be an unspeakable shame on the entire village.[2]
Because of Joseph's royal connection to David as well as the Middle Eastern custom of hospitality, Joseph and Mary would have been invited into a family home, rather than sent out to a stable or cave somewhere. The local women would have assisted her during childbirth. Mary was not alone.
This leads to another question: if Mary delivered in a home, how does the manger fit into the story?
In the Middle East two thousand years ago, simple peasant homes were divided into two rooms. The main living area was the family room where the entire family cooked, ate, slept and lived. A few steps down from this area was an area for the animals. Each night, the family's animals, a cow, donkey, and a few sheep, would be brought into this area. In the morning, they would be taken out and tied up in the courtyard. The farmer wanted his animals in the house each night because they provided heat in the winter and were also kept safe from theft. (The fact the sheep were outside when the angels announced the birth of the Messiah should give you a pretty solid hint that Jesus wasn't born in December.)
So a typical Middle Eastern home looked like this:
The lower level area, where the animals were housed at night, was referred to as the stable. On the upper level, an area was rounded out of the floor. This was where the family cow ate at night and was called a manger. The sheep ate out of a wood manger that was placed on the lower level. (See figure 1.1)[3]
Now that we understand the architecture of a typical Middle Eastern home, let's re-read Luke 2:7: "She [Mary] gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger..." The manger was a convenient, safe place to lay a newborn, right within the family home. (Our modern day equivalent might be a drawer.)
Finally, what did Luke mean when he wrote "there was no room for them in the inn"? Doesn't this imply that Mary and Joseph were turned away, as seen in somany pageants? Here is where looking at the original language is invaluable. The word translated as inn is the Greek word katalyma. This word is used only two other times in the New Testament and in both cases it was translated guest room, not inn.
Mk 14:14 NASB The Teacher says, "Where is My guest room (katalyma) in which I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
Luke 22:11 NASB And you shall say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room (katalyma) in which I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"
In addition to the main room, many homes had a second room used exclusively for guests. That room would be attached to the end of the house or on the roof, as in the story of Elijah (I Kings 17:19). (See figure 1.3 below.)
The translators choice of the word inn instead of guest room has contributed to our misunderstanding Mary and Joseph's accommodations. If Luke meant that there was no vacancy at the La Quinta, he would have used a different word, specifically the word pandocheion. Pandocheion is a place where all are received, namely a commercial inn. This is precisely the word Luke used in the parable of the Good Samaritan: the wounded man was taken to a commercial inn, a pandocheion (Luke 10:25-37).
However, in the story of Jesus' birth, Luke is telling us that Jesus was placed in a manger, in the family home, because in that home the guest room, the katalyma, was already full—there was no room in the guest room. Given the amount of people who had to return to their ancestral towns, its easy to see why this might be so.
What difference do these cultural insights make? Its unlikely that anyone will redo their crèche or rewrite Christmas carols in order to be biblically accurate. Traditions die hard. However, putting the birth of Jesus in its correct context matters because context always matters. The true story about the birth of Jesus is that the people of Bethlehem didn't turn Mary and Joseph away. Rather, they extended traditional Middle Eastern hospitality to the young family and invited them into their home. Mary gave birth to Jesus surrounded by the women of the village, not alone out in a cold and lonely stable. Jesus was laid in a manger nearby, a trough cut out from the floor, in close proximity to the family. Mary and Joseph were cared for in a warm and friendly home where even the lowly and unclean shepherds felt welcome. The story of the birth of Christ is one of extravagant hospitality by a community in Israel.
In this time of unrest, with terrorist attacks too close to home and refugees headed our way, maybe the true story of Christmas can inspire us to extend more hospitality to those around us during this season and all throughout the year.

Hayden Island offers a unique opportunity to study humane solutions to cat overpopulation.
With strict geographical boundaries of the Columbia River banks and home to hundreds of feral/stray and abandoned cats, Hayden Island provides a natural opportunity to scientifically investigate and apply innovative methods to humanely reduce the island's feral cat population.
Get Involved
Volunteers conduct physical counts of free-roaming cats to determine how many live on Hayden Island. We wrapped up our 4th annual cat count in September 2018. Stay tuned for 2019 dates and volunteer opportunities. Want to join us? Email Joe Liebezeit.
Increase TNR
After establishing the initial baseline population estimate in fall 2014, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) efforts have been increased in cooperation with island residents. We're here to help! You can help, too. Spread the word with the information below.
Support Cat Care
We work with the Hayden Island community to assist in the management and care of free-roaming cats. Efforts include offering spay/neuter specials for local cats, partnering with feral cat caregivers and residents to monitor cats, finding homes for socialized feral cats, and increasing awareness of cat, bird, wildlife and habitat welfare.

A few months ago, when reviewing Rise to Power, I sort of sheepishly copped to a Rick Ross infatuation. I was a reluctant apologist then, suckered in by those shiny hooks. But Trilla, Ross's proper sophomore album, has pushed me, for better or for worse, far deeper into a full-fledged Rick Ross appreciation. It's not a guilty pleasure if you can justify it, right?
It boils down to two primary facts: the pricy production and Ross's deep-seated acceptance of his own limitations. First, the budget: Okay, so maybe even Ross knows he'd drown without beats this buoyant. But who cares? 50 Cent is infamous for skimping with unproven producers tasked with recreating the sounds of their superiors on the cheap. Ross is opening up the coffers, and for that he should be applauded. Mannie Fresh's marching strings on "All I Have in This World," J.R. Rotem's swooping "oohwoohoo"s on "Boss," the Runners' massive synths on "Speedin'." Sleek, jaunty, perfectly manicured; party music as done by automatons.
Second, Ross's restraint. Admittedly, the emcee wastes no time embarrassing himself: "All I Have in the World," the album's second track, finds Ross "sipping on the Remy, outside of the club/ got me tripping like I was Remy, outside of the club." I wouldn't want to be the one charged with explaining to Ricky that rhyming a rapper's name with the product she named herself after is, you know, not clever. But the whole Rick Ross persona is sort of like a precocious eighth-grader commendably performing the role of jolly radio rapper in the school play: When he pulls it off, it's admirable; when he falters, it's endearing. Ultimately, that blocky, stodgy flow — "Ceasar's salad, Ceasar's Palace/ You ain't a boss, little nigga, cause your cheese is average" — becomes a warm comfort, like a worn pair of sweatpants. Knowing where Ross is going far before he ever gets there is reassuring.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you if Ross is being intentionally funny with a line like, "Got a dead-beat dad, but he far from dead/ He never knew chocolate milk make you fart real bad." But it's all bits and pieces of his clumsy charm. That couplet comes over the album closer, "I'm Only Human," a warm, reflective track. Ross kind of flashes his range here a little bit, going from the silly asides to expressing something more heartfelt. Forgetting his failed father for a moment, he pays tribute to his exceptional mother instead, the woman who worked three jobs in order to raise him on her own. He estimably salutes her: She "never flew on a plane till my LP dropped/ so I told her once a week that her ears gon' pop." Clunky, overblown, and decidedly Ross.

An Intelligent SQL Tutor on the Web
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/10092/307
The paper presents SQLT-Web, a Web-enabled intelligent tutoring system for the SQL database language. SQLT-Web is a Web-enabled version of an earlier, standalone ITS. In this paper we describe how the components of the standalone system were reused to develop the Web-enabled system. The system observes students' actions and adapts to their knowledge and learning abilities. We describe the system's architecture in comparison to the architectures of other existing Web-enabled tutors. All tutoring functions are performed on the server side, and we explain how SQLT-Web deals with multiple students. The system has been open to outside users sinceMarch 2000. SQLT-Web has been evaluated in the context of genuine teaching activities. We present the results of three evaluation studies with the University of Canterbury students taking database courses, which show that SQLT-Web is an effective system. The students have enjoyed the system's adaptability and found it a valuable asset to their learning.

Translated from the original French by Frank Wynne
2017 Longlist
October 1918: the war on the Western Front is all but over. Desperate for one last chance of promotion, the ambitious Lieutenant Henri d'Aulnay Pradelle sends two scouts over the top, and secretly shoots them in the back to incite his men to heroic action once more.
And so is set in motion a series of devastating events that will inextricably bind together the fates and fortunes of Pradelle and the two soldiers who witness his crime: Albert Maillard and Édouard Péricourt.
Back in civilian life, Albert and Édouard struggle to adjust to a society whose reverence for its dead cannot quite match its resentment for those who survived. But the two soldiers conspire to enact an audacious form of revenge against the country that abandoned them to penury and despair, with a scheme to swindle the whole of France on an epic scale.
Meanwhile, believing her brother killed in action, Édouard's sister Madeleine has married Pradelle, who is running a little scam of his own…

About the Author
Pierre Lemaitre was born in Paris in 1951. He worked for many years as a teacher of literature before becoming a novelist. He was awarded the Crime Writers' Association International Dagger, alongside Fred Vargas, for Alex. In 2013 his novel Au revoir là-haut (The Great Swindle, in English translation) won the Prix Goncourt, France's leading literary award.
Librarian's Comments
After World War 1, in Paris, the fallen are exalted and the country wants to honour them. The miserable veterans, however, are forgotten and can hardly keep body and soul together. Two of them decide to exploit the economy of profiteering and plot a war memorial scam. The novel reveals brutality, compassion, heroism and cowardice present both in war and peace.

Working with us you will never get bored - we have over 30 types of nursing at all levels in our Community Health, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services.
It's not been easy to summarise all the wonderful work that goes on at Somerset Partnership. So we've put together short video of what a day working with us is like.

Use The Makeshift Safety Squat Bar Setup for Lunges and Split Squats
Dr. Joel Seedman, Ph.D.
Over the past few weeks I've demonstrated how you can make your own safety squat bar by simply take two lifting straps/wrist straps and attaching them to the barbell. Besides being very effective for performing standard squats, this makeshift safety bar setup is very conducive for performing barbell lunges as demonstrated by one of my awesome clients Matt Jordan.
Here's why it's so effective.
1. The makeshift safety squat bar setup does wonders for reinforcing the hip hinge - one of the most important cues during the lunge and split squat. The lifter will be required to keep their hips set back near maximally throughout to create a slight forward torso lean in order to keep the bar from sliding off their back. If you assume an overly upright position, pull your head up via cervical hyperextension, let your hips shift forward, or allow significant anterior knee drift, the bar will roll off your back. In other words it promotes ideal lunging mechanics as proper lunges and split squats involve a proper hip hinge and forward lean throughout the movement.
Additionally, you'll be forced to stay in the bottom ¾ of the movement as locking out or coming up too high at the top of the lunge will cause the torso to become overly upright, again resulting in bar slippage. The amount of constant tension to the lower body during this lunging protocol is incredibly high making it very effective for eliciting gains in functional strength and hypertrophy. Just be prepared for a serious burn.
2. The makeshift safety squat bar is the most effective barbell variation I've used for teaching lifters how to pull the bar into their back - a common but important training cue. Rather than simply allowing the bar to rest on your back, pulling or squeezing the bar into your back is a critical component for any barbell squat or barbell lunge as it helps create increased spinal rigidity, enhanced lat activation, and a more stable bar position. With the makeshift variation if you don't pull aggressively on the straps and pull the bar into your back, the bar will literally fall off your back. Because of the extended duration of a standard set of lunges, expect significant stimulation to the lats during this protocol.
3. This makeshift safety squat bar setup is much more unstable than any traditional barbell or specialty barbell due to the lack of rigidity in the handles/straps. As a result this forces the lifter to use very strict mechanics and dial in their form otherwise the barbell will tilt to one side or slide off their back. In fact if you have a tendency to favor one side or allow one hip or shoulder to dip, this set-up will give you immediate feedback via a teeter totter effect. Applying this to lunges does wonders for balance, stability, and motor control as the stride position is already unstable to begin with. If you've had trouble mastering your balance on lunges, you'll definitely want to give this a go.
4. the make shift bar is very conducive for teaching rigid spinal mechanics. Although the arms are pulling forcefully against the straps to keep the weight anchored onto the traps, even the slightest loss of spinal rigidity or proper postural alignment will cause the bar to tilt, become unstable, or simply roll off your back.
5. The straps can be gripped as high or as low as feels comfortable (lower position is more unstable but easier on the shoulders) or they can be adjusted as wide or as narrow as you need them. This is makes it very conducive for accommodating any size lifter and varying anthropometrics. During lunges this is even more important as the arms will be held in this position for approximately double the duration (as you perform both sides). Ensuring your arms and shoulders are in a comfortable position without tension on the joints is critical for maximizing your form and mechanics as well as joint health. The make shift safety squat bar is very shoulder friendly during both squats and lunges.
On a side note, the same makeshift safety bar squat setup using simple wrist straps can also be employed on Bulgarian squats and Good mornings.
In essence, besides being very shoulder friendly, the make shift safety squat bar setup forces near perfect and strict lunging and split squat mechanics.

There is something quite satisfying about seeing an image I made in print form, no matter the quality or size. It's something I've been missing the past while. Without a print it almost feels as if the work doesn't quite exist. It's an odd feeling.
These photos were taken over a year ago when I was living in a tent in France. I'm hoping to have a physical print of all my major projects by the end of my final year, even if they're just small 5x7's.
On another note - my test run of double exposures came out pretty perfect! There was no real meaning to the shots other than to test settings, and I went with a usual trope in the form of flowers. Now to gather my other film cameras from the far flung corners they have fallen to and start shooting lots of rolls at once!
And so .... it's time to look into calibrating my screen. And thesis reading.

I'm originally from California, but I've lived most of my life in France. I continued my studies here, got married, raised a family and pursued a career as a teacher of English as a foreign language, all in the eastern city of Besançon. This explains my French connection, why so many French people read and follow my blog and why some comments are made and answered in French. I've recently retired from a forty-year career in the French National Education System and now I plan to spend a good amount of time travelling. You can read about my travels here.

"Framed" top
Scrubs scraps top number 7 is finished. Once again...super simple. I'm calling it "Framed."
It is so simple, you don't need a pattern for it. Really. However, I did work up an instruction sheet just in case some of you are unsure of the measurements I used and want to see.
This is what I started with - I had just a few of these strips:
I didn't have that many pieces but I thought the print was just adorable, so I thought...I want to use it....now.
Then I thought, I want something simple.
What's more simple than a framed square?
Answer: Almost nothing except a simple square.
So, I decided to frame the square and put a white sashing around it and a piano key border to spice it up a bit and make it wider. I used the pieces I had - didn't have any more (except the one piece I took a picture of and you see here that is circled). And I called it good. It makes a small but perfect size quilt for a 3 or 4 year old.
When I go to make one of these scrubs quilts, I let the fabric "tell me" what to make. (That's why so many aren't done - I've not been told yet! :) LOL) It's not mysterious at all - it is like opening your fridge and saying, "What shall we eat tonight?" - determining only to use what you have already in the house. And then the story of "Stone soup" comes into play. Start with the stone, i.e. the scrubs fabric, determined by the shape I get - and see what I can come up with by adding whatever else I can find around me.
So, After I chose that fabric, I did find coordinating bright prints in my healthy sized stash - and made this simple, but effective quilt top.
I am hoping to get this quilted today - have had the top done for a couple of weeks anyway and want to get it in my pile of "done" quilts. And no, the order of those colors was supposed to be random. Unfortunately when you only have 4 colors of frames, "random" isn't very random.
Oh, and my sister keeps adding to the site--the shopping part. She's working like a mad woman because they are going on another trip pretty soon and she wanted to get a bunch of new stuff up for you all to order!
If you've not checked out the shopping part, make sure you do. She is adding blenders and other interesting stuff as fast as she can.
Frankly, I don't know how she can sell it....it's a good thing I'm not in Florida!

I have spent the past several years researching the predictors of environmentally friendly behaviour. Before that, I was exploring psychologists' willingness or intention to integrate complementary and alternative therapies into their practice. For the past six years I have also worked on a Public Health Project called HABITAT, which is examining the ways in which the environment influences health and activity amongst mid-aged adults. I value opportunities to lecture, teach, or otherwise share what little knowledge I have managed to acrue.
A few years ago research inspired me to set up an online eco business with my husband and now we send bamboo toothbrushes all over the world and teach people how to use soap nuts (which fall off a tree) for household cleaning, rather than harmful chemicals. As a mother to six children aged between 4 and 20, and one of whom is autistic, my whole life feels like a natural experiment in which I am constantly learning new lessons. But isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
