Veteran MC Smooth B drops an unexpected video that made me reminisce of the good Nice & Smooth days! Keep eyes and ears open for more material dropping!
Smooth B – "Before"
Funky Diabetic
I first discovered popular music growing up in Chile. I was 7 years old when Michael Jackson released "Thriller". I actually remember the day my father bought me the Thriller tape which became my first ever! I used to listen to the cassette on a red walkman I borrowed off my father. Often I'd listen to it in bed right before I went to sleep. I would try to sing along…but of course…I didn't know English! Eventually my next favourite band were from Argentina and their lyrics were in Spanish. Soda Stereo released their first album in 1984 and I guessed my parents noticed I like them so much that they decided to buy me the cassette of their second album released in 1985 for my 10th birthday. "Nada Personal" was being played daily on my walkman! It was a great album! And since these guys were releasing a new album every year, it became a habit that I would receive their latest album on cassette for every birthday I celebrated! In 1986 I saw a breakdancer for the first time ever! Ever! In our class begun a kid from Canada attending. I remember exactly as he was dancing and the wooden platforms placed on the pavement of the schoolyard for this particular event! EVENT! I had never seen anything like that…not even on TV! This kid was flipping and turning on his back and on his head. It was a short and I realise now also an amazing experience! In 1987, as I had turned 12 years old, we left Chile and moved to Sweden. Stockholm became my hometown. For the next two years music, tennis and basketball disappeared off my life. It was all about going to school and learning Swedish. Nothing else! By 1989 we had lived in Sweden 2 years and my father had purchased a vinyl player. My friend lent me a compilation called "Street Rap". It was a white vinyl. The compilation had My Philosophy by Boogie Down Productions. I remember playing it over and over again! During this time I also begun going to the youth centre in Fruängen. On Fridays they arranged parties or "disco" as we called them. It was there that I first heard "Do the Right Thing" by Redhead Kingpin and the F.B.I. Eventually this became the first 45" I ever purchased. By 1990 De La Soul had released 3 Feet High and Rising and I had been listening to "Me Myself and I" a lot! That same year I also begun attending Vårberg skolan. My Swedish had improved but I was too shy to make friends, specially if they were Swedish. I had been attending a class where Swedish was our main subject. When my Swedish became good enough I begun attending other subjects with the regular "Swedish class". It was there I met DJ Snuff. Snuff and I weren't hanging out in the beginning but luckily I had a friend who was the total opposite of me! He knew the whole school! He would borrow records off DJ Snuff and bring them to my house and leave them there for weeks. It was then I carefully begun listening to records and later also recording mix tapes. Ever since I've owned a portable music player. Eventually I begun collecting my own records. I started collecting vinyl at first but not long after came CD's. The portability of the format made me a CD consumer for many years. I would say that ever since I heard De La Soul's - 3 Feet High and Rising I've been married to hip-hop. Visiting records stores became a habit. Yo! Mtv Raps became my favourite show. I became very influenced by hip-hop artists. The love I developed for hip-hop music never developed for graffiti nor breakdancing. I was happy just consuming the music. DJ:ing was cool but to me it has never been about the DJ:ing and its probably the reason why I've never put down too much time practising techniques or routines. To me it was all about letting other people know about artists or records I had discovered and that I felt the whole world should hear! For my friends I've recorded tapes, purchased CD's and I've brought them along to concerts. As I lived in London between 2001-2005 I purchased many UK CD's to give away, just because I felt it was great music that needed to be heard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a3XUCOPxcU I have very strong values. I've never called myself a DJ out of respect to those who I know have put hours of practice. I have been collecting records for many years but DJ:ing I have only done since I begun attending university in 2001. My strong values have made their mark also in the music I've rejected. Through the years I've stopped playing music if I've felt the lyrics are inappropriate (i.e. "Punks Jump Up" by Brand Nubians). Sharing music became the reason why me and my mate in 2007 decided to start a podcast which we named Fresh Rotation. Eventually my mate dropped out but for me it was a way to continue sharing music. I continued on my own recording podcast episodes and eventually also DJ:ing in bars and venues. 10 years have passed since! So much good music have been released! So much bad music too! Thanks to all of you who's supported 1200.nu and thanks to all of those who have inspired me in different ways to do what I do. Shout out to Judit & Bertil! Special thank yous to DJ Snuff and to my friend Soul Survivor!

Free Software, Open Source, FOSS, FLOSS - same but different
There are two major terms connected to software you can freely use, study, share, and improve: Free Software and Open Source. Based on them you can also find different combinations and translations like FOSS, Libre Software, FLOSS and so on. So why do people use these terms, and how are they different from one another?
Historical background
Historically, Free Software was the first term, created 1986 together with the Free Software definition. In 1997 Debian, a project aiming to create a completely free and community based GNU/Linux distribution, developed the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) as a check-list whether a program can be included in the distribution or not. One year later, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) was set up as a marketing campaign for Free Software. It introduced the Open Source definition by copying the DFSG and replacing "Free Software" with "Open Source". According to a public statement by Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the OSI and author of the DFSG and Open Source Definition, the Open Source term was intended as a synonym for Free Software. Perens eventually decided to return to the roots of the movement and to speak about Free Software again. Thanks to their shared roots, both Open Source and Free Software describe the complete set and the whole range of software licenses that give users the right to use, study, share, and improve the software1.
In the course of time people came up with additional labels for the same set of software. Today terms such as Libre Software, FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) or FLOSS (Free, Libre and Open Source Software) are often used to describe Free Software. In some cases people also use terms like "organic software" or "ethical software". Often the motivation for terms like FOSS or FLOSS is to stay out of the terminology debate and to avoid confusion through words like "open" or "free". But these terms tend to cause another confusion, because they virtually invite people to look for differences between the terms where actually no differences exists, regarding the software they describe.
This short summary of the historical origin of the different terms should show that at the end all of them have the same root and refer to the same set of software.
Who uses which term, and why?
The Free Software movement is a large and diverse community. People have different interests in Free Software and different reasons to participate. But these differences don't necessarily connect with the terms they use. A lot of people use the term Open Source even while highlighting the social and political dimension of Free Software while on the other hand there are people in our community who prefer the term Free Software but concentrate more on the practical benefits. Whether someone says Open Source or Free Software isn't necessarily an indication of their motivation.
Beside individuals there are also many well known organisations in the Free Software ecosystem. Many of them play an important role and emphasize different aspects of Free Software. For example, some organisations focus on the technical direction of Free Software projects, some on legal aspects, some on political, social and ethical aspects and some focus on license evaluation. These organisations typically have decided to use one or another term and stick to it. But this should not lead to the conclusion that the term they use is the critical factor regarding their motivations. The critical factor are the people driving the organisation and the goals of the organisation as such. The practical experience with different organisations and people in the community shows that the line can't be drawn along the language they use.
This diversity is good, as it shows that Free Software provides many advantages in many different areas of our life. But we should not divide our community just by the term someone prefers. No matter what term someone uses and what their initial motivation is, in the end they works on the same set of software and on the enhancement of software freedom and any other aspect of Free Software.
License evaluation
There are three widely recognized entities in the Free Software movement that regularly evaluate licenses: The Free Software Foundation, the Debian project and the Open Source Initiative. When asked whether a particular license gives software users the freedom to use, study, share, and improve the program, they almost always come to the same conclusions.
Does Copyleft make the difference?
Looking at Free Software licenses there are two main categories, protective or Copyleft licenses and non-protective licenses. While Copyleft licenses are designed to protect the rights to use, study, share, and improve the software non-protective licenses allow to distribute the software without those rights. Sometimes people think that the terms Free Software and Open Source are used to distinguish between Copyleft and non-Copyleft licenses. The lists of Free Software licenses by Debian, the FSF and the OSI show that both protective and non-protective licenses comply with the Free Software definition and the Open Source definition. This means that neither the terms Open Source and Free Software nor the different definitions are suitable to distinguish between Copyleft and non-Copyleft licenses.
Protective licenses and non-protective licenses are sub-classes of Free Software licenses recognized by the Open Source Initiative and the FSF. Copyleft or non-Copyleft is not a criteria suitable to distinguish between Open Source and Free Software, both terms describe the same set of software.
Development model
The way a program is developed can be a crucial factor in its success or failure. But whether a program is written in an open, participatory process or behind closed doors doesn't tell us whether it is non-free or Free Software.
When looking at software we have to distinguish between the software model and the development model. While the software model describes the attributes of the software (e.g. free or proprietary) the development model describes different ways to develop software. As discussed in detail in "What makes a Free Software company?" the different software development models are defined independently of the software model and work for both Free Software and proprietary software. Models that leverage the advantage of an open and collaborative community can show their full strength in combination with the Free Software model. However this does not mean that any program developed in an open, collaborative development process is Free Software. There are Free Software projects developed by a single person or a company with little or no outside input. On the other hand developers of proprietary software have adapted collaborative development models to fit into their software model, e.g. SAP with its partnership program.
Why we call it Free Software
If all these terms describe the same set of programs, why do we at FSFE insist on using the term Free Software?
Free Software is all about your freedom. That's a message we want to get across loud and clear. Language is important because it frames how people think about a subject. The different terms focus on different aspects, even if they describe the same software. Freedom is a core value of Free Software, and our language reflects this. This makes Free Software the right choice for FSFE and we invite you to follow us.
- Copyleft licenses, licenses designed to protect those rights, are a subclass of Free Software licenses recognized by the Open Source Initiative and the FSF.

Please bear with me because I will have few posts talking about my recent Italy trip and also Italy foods, hehehe..Since my trip is free and easy, so I need to make a lot of homework before I go, which hotel to book, what to buy, what to eat, which place to visit & etc. While I searching for the foods, I found this video of making Italian Focaccia (Gary Rodhes across Italy). Soon I returned from the trip, immediately I tried out this recipe, I would say this is the best Focaccia I have ever had, crispy and light crust and soft crumb, simply delicious! In fact, I am planning to use this dough recipe to make pizza!
updated on 22 May 2013- I made again and I have made some changes, you can refer to those highlighted in red. This time the dough is easy to handle, less oily and even better !
Italian Focaccia with Onion and Rosemary 意大利佛卡夏(recipe source: modified from here, video here )
*for a non-stick square pan 9"x9", for better result use 10"x10"
For the dough1tsp instant yeast
1tbsp maltose syrup 麦芽糖
50g milk
150g lukewarm water (120g)
325g High protein flour or bread flour (360g)
1/2tsp salt
100g (60g) mashed potatoes (boil potatoes in water till fork tendered, mashed with fork then sift)50g olive oil (10g)
To finish
50g olive oil, shaken together with 50g waterSea salt
1 onion, sliced and soaked in a mixture of water and vinegar (optional)
1 sprig of rosemary, slightly chopped
Method1. Sprinkle yeast on half portion of lukewarm water till frothy (about 5mins).
2. Dissolve maltose syrup with the balance half of lukewarm water.
3. Mix yeast water, maltose water and milk together in a jar.
4. Sift the flour and salt onto a work surface. . Make a well in the centre and add the mashed potato, olive oil and the yeasty milk mixture.
5. Work the flour and potato into the liquid, working from the inside of the well outwards. Gradually add the rest of the water to bring the dough together
6. Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until it is soft and spongy. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until it rise double.
7. Once risen, knock back the dough and place on oiled baking pan and flatten it using hand to a thickness of about 1cm. Then use your fingertips to press down all over the dough, creating lots of little wells. Leave to rise again until for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 190C (fan forced).
9. After the dough has risen, generously drizzle over the oil and water mixture and sprinkle with sea salt. Scatter onions and chopped rosemary over the focaccia. Bake for 25mins.

American politics has become like a big square dance. When the music stops after an election, people switch to the other side on a number of issues, depending on whether their party remains in power.
That was pretty clear this week, when polls revealed more Democrats than Republicans support tracking of phone traffic by the National Security Agency — the exact opposite of where things stood under President George W. Bush.
A Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll released Monday showed that 64 percent of Democrats support such efforts, up from just 36 percent in 2006. Republican support, meanwhile, had dropped from 75 percent to 52 percent.
It's not just a question of whether you trust the current president to carry out data mining in a way that targets terrorists and not innocent Americans. Partisans hold malleable positions in a number of areas — foreign policy, the economy and even presidential appointees who continue to serve under a new administration.
"People change their views depending on which party is in power, and not based on objective conditions on the ground," says George Washington University political scientist John Sides.
My President, Right Or Wrong
It's not surprising that partisans are more willing to give one of their own a break, particularly when it comes to matters like scandals.
But the president — any president — has become like the New York Yankees. You either love him and root for his success, or you hate him.
Political scientists talk about a "perceptual screen" through which many voters view the world, tending to support certain policy stances based on where their party stands. Studies over the years have consistently shown that partisans tend to have a rosier view of the economy if someone they support is in the White House.
"Democrats support [military] interventions where Democratic presidents lead them," says James Stimson, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina. "Republicans support them when Republican presidents lead."
This isn't just blind faith. Most people don't spend their time reading position papers, so they look to their party's leaders for cues. If I'm with them on tax cuts and education, the thinking goes, I'll probably like their approach to immigration.
That's an increasingly safe bet in an era where the parties are almost perfectly sorted ideologically. There are few conservative Democrats left, certainly compared with 50 years ago, and practically no liberal Republicans.
So people can feel pretty secure that their party's position on a given issue is not going to be far out of line with how they think on other issues.
"Especially on a new issue, people are not very informed about the details of the policy, so they tend to accept the position of the political elites they trust, on the assumption they share the same interests," says Sunshine Hillygus, a political scientist at Duke.
An Important Identity
People aren't willing to flip-flop on every issue. Most people hold firm views on matters such as abortion and gun rights that won't change with new occupants in the White House or the speaker's chair.
But because opinion within parties tends to be so uniform — and gets reinforced by supportive media and social media circles — sometimes people's opinions do shift so that they line up better with their partisan brethren.
That may be the case, for instance, with gay marriage, support for which has become almost an article of faith among Democrats. A Fox News poll released Thursday found that 65 percent of Democrats support gay marriage, while 69 percent of Republicans oppose it.
Although many people like to describe themselves as independent, partisanship has become an important aspect of identity. Some are more loyal to their partisan leanings than their own church, says University of Notre Dame political scientist David Campbell.
"Our findings indicate that for many but not all Americans, when they're faced with this choice between their politics and religion, they hold fast to their politics and switch religion, or more often switch out of their religion," he says.
A recent Stanford University study found that people are more likely to have hostile feelings toward people of the other party than members of another race.
"People are more likely to see their party as in the right, no matter what, and the other party as wrong," says Shanto Iyengar, the Stanford study's lead author. "People get more upset if they are asked to contemplate the prospect of their son or daughter marrying outside the party than outside their religion."
Hating The Other Guy
Indeed, over the past 50 years, the percentage of people who said they would disapprove if their children married someone from the other party has spiked from 5 percent to 40 percent.
This is the flip side of tending to support the position of your own party: Many people today not only disagree with but despise the other party and its adherents.
Republican opposition to policies President Obama has proposed has been a hallmark of his entire administration. When Bush was in office, conversely, Democrats made no secret of their disdain or even hatred of him.
Voters have an intuitive sense this is going on. How many times over the past four years have you heard the phrase, "Imagine the outrage if Bush had done X?"
"The other side is not just your opponent, but bad and evil," says Lara Brown, an independent political analyst. "Everyone flips positions based on who's in power."
All this makes it more difficult to achieve lasting consensus. If politics is a matter of partisan loyalty and personality, it's difficult to convince the broad majority of the country that an idea is right, no matter what.
"When issues were uncoupled from parties, one could make an appeal on the merits," says Jack Pitney, a government professor at Claremont McKenna College. "But to the extent issues are associated with the party, you win by mobilizing the party."

You've probably at least heard of giving days that are taking the fundraising community by storm. Here's how it works—many times, a foundation will pledge a certain amount of funds to match contributions on a specific day. Multiple charities can participate, and the whole community benefits. Tons of people rally around one community on one day to give funds and give back.
While giving days are an awesome idea, your community might not have an established day. Here's how you can start one, plus other ideas to have impact without a giving day.
Start A Give-Back Day
Even if you can't match funds, having a specific day to rally together helps raise awareness about giving back to the community. Sure, if there are no matching funds it doesn't matter what day of the year people give. However, having a specific day to give will get the social chatter happening and people will hear about giving to organizations that they might not have heard about before. Awareness is a beautiful thing.
Give More than Money
If your community already has a give-back day for funds, consider adding an element of volunteerism to it. You could either host the volunteerism on the same day as the give-back day, or you could choose a separate day solely for volunteerism. This will also help provide an option for people who would like to contribute, but can't necessarily contribute cash. Plus, organizations can use much more than just funds.
Narrow Down the Cause
Normally, give-back days are meant to focus on an entire community. While that isn't a bad idea, you could also narrow it down even more to find donors who are most passionate about your cause.
Reach out to other organizations in your community who have the same cause, or even organizations in other communities that have the same cause. Then you can pull together. More organizations = more brain power = more success. Don't be afraid to branch outside of your comfort zone.
If all else fails, simply promote your next local giving day to your friends. You never know who is listening out there—even one person could change a life.

How a Managed IT Services Provider Benefits
Your Locust Valley, NY 11560 Company
IT infrastructure is the backbone of many modern enterprises. Locust Valley organizations just like yours need smooth running, constantly available websites, plentiful server space, and airtight IT security to keep customer and corporate data safe from cybercriminals.
It's a lot to handle, and it oftentimes costs a lot as well. That's why a managed services provider can benefit your Locust Valley, NY company. Let's break down the benefits of managed services providers for IT security and infrastructure management in New York and beyond.
What is a Managed Services Provider?
A managed services provider or MSP offers ongoing and regular support for a variety of IT services, ranging from network access to full applications to application updates to IT security and more. Instead of forcing your enterprise to handle, update, and manage all of its IT services and apps, a managed services provider can:
In short, managed services providers give your company exactly what it needs in IT apps, infrastructure, and more.
IT Difficulties in Locust Valley
These days, it's almost impossible to run a successful business in New York without a heavy amount of IT infrastructure. You'll need at least a website, servers to host corporate and customer data, IT security to keep everything safe, and more.
Setting up, managing, and keeping your IT infrastructure secure is a full-time job for several employees at a minimum. All those man-hours could be used to further your business objectives or create new products for your customers.
Locust Valley companies like yours compete in tough niches and industries. That's why managed services providers can take some of the burden off your shoulders and manage all your IT concerns for you.
Benefits of Managed Services Providers for Companies in Locust Valley NY 11560
Whether your company is based entirely or partially in New York, and even if your organization is international, managed services providers such as LI TECH can offer many major benefits.
Improved Scalability
For one, a managed services provider can give your company extra scalability. As your Locust Valley company grows, it will require additional IT resources, such as server space, website elements, and more. Server costs are often dependent on
LI TECH Solutions, as a managed services provider, can help you easily scale up your enterprise to bigger and better IT infrastructure. If you need to install new apps, migrate all data to new servers or the cloud, or switch your website to faster, more dedicated servers, a managed services provider can help you throughout the process.
This easy scalability will help you grow along with your rising popularity and your increasing number of customers or clients.
IT Cost Predictability
IT infrastructure maintenance and security costs can be unforgettable, especially if you suddenly or randomly run into issues like server crashes, cyber-attacks, and more.
Managed services providers such as LI TECH Solutions solve this by guaranteeing predictable IT costs. Instead of having to suddenly pay out-of-pocket for rebooting your website or fixing a crashed server, you instead pay a flat fee to your managed services provider.
Then, whatever disaster does strike, they handle the issue and provide you with regular updates. By investing in managed services providers, you'll be able to better budget for IT management and security concerns, funneling extra cash to other enterprise needs or purchases.
Reduced Downtime
Additionally, managed services providers can benefit Locust Valley, NY companies like yours by reducing server downtime across the board. Some of the main responsibilities offered by managed services providers include:
All of these efforts can help reduce downtime for your website or your servers (or both). In industries where reputation is everything and a few hours of downtime can cost you severely in terms of client trust or customer sign-ups, reducing downtime or eliminating it entirely is paramount.
Let a managed services provider do this for you by keeping an eye on your servers and website and backing up critical data regularly so nothing is lost in the event of an outage.
Better Enterprise Security
Naturally, managed services providers can offer your enterprise increased security. Not only can managed services providers check your systems and infrastructure regularly for issues or cyber threats, but they also:
In this way, you don't have to dedicate an entire team of IT professionals to keep your company safe. Instead, your Nassau company can focus on what it does best: making the best products and services for your target consumers.
Continual Data Compliance
Lastly, managed services providers will ensure constant compliance with regulations and restrictions such as the GDPR, CCPA, and other legislation that may be passed in the future.
Data compliance is key for Nassau companies like yours. If you're found in violation of these restrictions, you could be fined heavily, could lose consumer trust, and could face other penalties.
But restrictions update all the time, and it can be difficult to keep abreast of new developments and to ensure that you're practicing the most recent and effective consumer data privacy strategies.
Managed services providers can ensure that your IT operations always stay compliant with new regulations. They'll also prevent your employees or team from making avoidable mistakes regarding customer privacy and data collection practices.
Managed Services for Locust Valley NY, 11560 Companies
Ultimately, a managed services provider like LI TECH Solutions is the perfect choice for Locust Valley companies just like yours.
Whether you need ongoing IT support, security updates, or assistance moving legacy data to new cloud servers, LI TECH Solutions can help. We provide high-quality and in-depth IT managed services for businesses near Locust Valley, 11560 and beyond throughout New York.

This map of August 09, 2008 covers from 11:00z to 13:05z.
This animation can take some time (minutes) to load because of its size. Be patient and wait !
If you can see the map only partially press the "Refresh" button of your browser.
Use the "Stop" button of your browser to stop the animation and the "Refresh" button to run it again from the begining.
This map shows the evolution, size and MUF of the sporadic-E cloud that caused the opening on 144 MHz. and it is an estimation based on the information from DX-Spots collected by DXMAPS. I don't claim it to be 100% accurate but just an estimation that could help understand what happened that day.
Also please notice that sometimes you will see MUF rise very quickly. This is because of the almost complete lack of data for frequencies between 51 and 144 MHz. that leads to shown MUF rising almost 90 MHz in one minute. You should understand that this is not the usual behaviour of MUF, but the result of that lack of data.

Change Your Driving Test in Beverley LGV
We have got some AMAZING tricks and tips, save time, save money and increase the chance of passing your driving test …
STOP … what you are doing this is blinking important!
Change Your Driving Test Now
You've booked your practical driving test in Beverley LGV and something has come up that you simply can't get out of? Don't worry, if your circumstances have changed since you made the original booking, you can change your driving test appointment to a different date, time or location at no additional cost. The payment you've already made will be carried over to your amended booking.
Ready to pass your test and get your full driving licence but your appointment is months away? Why waste your time and money on additional driving lessons, when you can change your driving test appointment and skip the long wait? Read on to find out how to move your driving test date forward. This will save you time and money!
The most important thing to remember is that if you want to change your driving test, you must do so at least 3 working days prior to your appointment to avoid losing your booking fee and having to pay again. Remember, Sundays and public holidays don't count as working days.
Below guide will help you change (or cancel) your driving test in England, Scotland and Wales. Please note that there's a different service if you're looking to change your driving test in Northern Ireland.
Change Your Driving Test Now
How to change your Beverley LGV driving test appointment
You can change your driving test date, time or location free of charge online on the official GOV.UK website. This online service allows you to search for an earlier practical driving test (sometimes called a 'cancellation appointment'), move your driving test to a later date and change which driving test centre you want to take your test at. It's available from 6 am to 11:40 pm.
If you prefer to speak to someone or need any help with changing your driving test appointment, you can call the DVSA driving test booking support on 0300 200 1122. The lines are open Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm.
Make sure you have the following information at hand before you start making any changes to your existing driving test booking:
- your valid UK provisional driving licence number
- your driving test reference number or theory test pass certificate number (from the letter you got when you passed your theory test)
How many times you can change your driving test
You can change your driving test appointment up to 6 times. If you need to change it again after that, you'll have to cancel your driving test and book a new one, which means paying for it again.
Remember, you'll get a full refund when cancelling your driving test as long as you give a minimum of 3 clear working days' notice.
Change Your Driving Test Now
What's the waiting in Beverley LGV driving test centre?
Many learner drivers in the UK ready to take their practical driving test are often unaware of the long driving test waiting times at many of the DVSA driving test centres. For those who don't mind taking their time and having their driving test date months down the line, waiting times aren't much of a problem. However, for those who need their full UK driving licence quickly (due to work commitments for example), spending months waiting around can be an incredibly frustrating experience. Luckily for them, there is a solution. Driving test cancellations.
Beverley LGV Driving Test Cancellations
Learner drivers change or cancel their practical driving tests all the time, for all kinds of reasons. And when it happens, their appointment becomes available for another test candidate to take.
This is your chance to nab an earlier driving test date and avoid those dreaded waiting times.
Remember, it can be extremely difficult to get a driving test slot when you want one as waiting times in many areas can be nearly 4 months. This can be especially frustrating if you've failed your test and you're looking to rebook quickly. And if your theory test is expiring soon, time is even more of the essence. Make sure to check for available test dates as soon as you need one and book it immediately (just remember it has to be at least 10 working days after your last test). If you wait, next time you check the DVSA online booking system, those test dates might be even further away.
Change Your Driving Test Now
How to Find an Earlier Driving Test Appointment?
There are two ways to search for an earlier test date:
Do It Yourself for FREE (if you have time & patience…)
Head to the DVSA website and book the closest practical driving test appointment available that you'd be OK with. Once this is booked, log in here and start searching for driving test cancellations in order to get a more suitable (earlier) date. Simply Search – Refresh – Repeat. As frequently as possible. Until you find that perfect cancellation before someone else does. Act fast, driving test cancellations tend to be snatched up very quickly.
Although checking manually like this is free to do, it can take a long, long time… You'll need to be patient and spend a lot of time logging into the DVSA online booking service to see if suitable slots are available. But if you need your test FAST, you might want to try something different, something a lot more effective and time efficient…
Use a Driving Test Cancellation Checker
Can't wait 10-14 weeks to take your practical driving test? Don't have the time to search day and night for an earlier test date yourself? Try a driving test cancellation checker. It's a really useful tool that will do all the hard work for you by searching the DVSA booking system thousands of times a day to get you the most convenient test slot possible. This will save you a lot of time, effort and money. Remember, you'll need to already have a practical driving test booked to start using these services.

Though they dipped 1 percent in December from the month before, 2012 was the best year since 2007 for sales of existing homes, the National Association of Realtors reports.
It estimates that 4.65 million previously owned homes were sold last year, up 9.2 percent from 2011 and the most since 2007's 5.03 million.
The data are the latest in a series of signs that the housing sector, which crashed when its "bubble" burst in 2008, has steadied. The market has been boosted by low interest rates, prices that are still below their pre-bubble burst levels and a gradual decline in the inventory of foreclosed homes.
The association adds that:
"The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $180,800 in December, which is 11.5 percent above December 2011. This is the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains, which last occurred from August 2005 to May 2006, and is the strongest increase since November 2005 when it jumped 12.9 percent.
"For all of 2012, the preliminary median existing-home price was $176,600, up 6.3 percent from $166,100 in 2011, and was the strongest annual price gain since 2005 when the median price rose 12.4 percent."

IMPORTANT! Development of AutoForms has stopped. Instead use WxGeneric which is based upon AutoForms. However, this page still explains why you would want to generically construct GUIs.
AutoForms is a library to ease the creation of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI). It do this by using generic programming to construct GUI components. The AutoForms user creates an ordinary algebraic data type (ADT), that reflects the data model of an application. From this ADT AutoForms automatically derives a GUI component, by using the structure and identifiers of the ADT.
In this article we will see how AutoForms is used via a practical example. We will explain how AutoForms is used (the interface), rather than how it is implemented. And you should be able to see some of the advantages and disadvantages of the AutoForms library. In comparison to conventional GUI libraries, we aim to show that AutoForms can:
- speed up the creation of GUI applications
- abstract over a larger set of standard dialogs - by standard dialog we mean dialogs like a file dialog or an error dialog
- more easily adapts to chageing requirements
- stronger type safety
Furthermore, we aim to show that:
- while AutoForms is build upon the automatic construction of GUI applications, using an ADT as input, we will show that it is still possible to customize the applications look and functionality
To understand this article the reader should have programming experience with Haskell and atleast have looked at the AutoForms homepage.
We will achieve the goals by creating a GUI frontend for a Cron-like daemon. We will start with a simple example and evolve more complex examples. This is not just to avoid presenting too many details at once, but also because it resembles a typical software development effort. The application is chosen as it is simple, yet practically usefull. Also, different aspects of the AutoForms library is presented well with this kind of application.
The reader is encouraged to download and run the examples. As the AutoForms library is build upon the cross platform library WxHaskell it should work on MS Windows, Apple, and Linux. The examples shown in this tutorial are included with the AutoForms library as well. If you install this library then you will be able to compile the HCron GUIs, shown in this article, by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron/ && make <editor name>". Or you can compile all of them by "cd src/Examples/HCron && make all".
The Cron Editors
Cron is a scheduling service for recurring jobs. It is normally only seen in Unix-(like) environments. Which jobs to run are decided by editing crontab-files using a text editor. For example the following crontab entry says that the job getMail should be executed every day 20 minutes past 10 o'clock.
20 10 * * * getMail
This kind of service can be very useful. However, editing text files is not the easiest or most intuitive way to interface with a Cron-like service. A GUI should be able to do a much better job. Thus we want to create a GUI for a Cron-like service.
We have decided to make our own Cron-like daemon, in stead of using the standard Unix Cron, as:
- our own tool can be cross platform.
- parsing will be alot simpler, as we can store the Crontab-like file as an ordinary Haskell ADT. This will mean that we can use Haskell'
functions for serialization and deserialization. - we can have features not found in Cron, such as handling one-off jobs and not just recurring jobs.
Our first program
The daemon (service)
Before creating the GUI, we will create the daemon to execute the batch jobs. We have decided to begin by creating a very simple daemon, that can only execute jobs at a specified time. It cannot handle recurring jobs. We will laiter add more functionality to the daemon. Note that this resembles how much software is actually build, by starting with a simple prototype and then incrementally adding more functionality.
We will not go into detail about how the daemon is implemented, as it is not the point of this tutorial. However, the interested reader can look at the source code.
What is interesting is the data type the daemon uses to store which jobs to execute. This is important as the GUI needs to manipulate this datatype. The type is defined in the Entry1st module as:
type HCron = [Entry Time] data Entry t = Entry { when :: t , command :: String } deriving (Show, Read, Eq, Ord) data Time = Time { year :: Int , month :: System.Time.Month , day :: Int , hour :: Int , minute :: Int } deriving (Show, Read, Eq, Ord)
The module also defines:
specLocation = "./hcron.spec"
which is the file, where we will store our crontab entries.
The GUI
Now that we have made the daemon and the HCron data type, we are ready for what AutoForms is all about - user interfaces. We want to create a GUI to edit the HCron data type and to store the result.
We will show the code for our first GUI in small steps and explain each part as it is shown. Firstly,
module Editor1st where import Entry1st import Graphics.UI.AF.WxFormAll import Control.Monad.Trans(liftIO)
we need to import the data type defined above (Entry1st) and to import WxFormAll, which makes it possible to use the AutoForms library.
To automatically generate GUIs, AutoForms uses the Scrap Your Boilerplate 3 (SYB3) approch to generic programming. SYB3 requires that we use the template-function derive for all data types we want to process generically. Thus we use derive on the Entry data type and its children:
$(derive [''Entry,''Time,''Month])
Finally we get to the main function, which constructs the GUI:
main = startWx "Editor1st" $ do entryValue :: HCron <- liftIO $ (readFile specLocation >>= readIO) `catch` (\_ -> return []) entry <- builderCom entryValue chState <- makeChangedState entry let saveFile = do x <- getValue entry liftIO $ writeFile specLocation $ show x setValue chState $ Unchanged x button "Save" saveFile >>= enabledWhen chState (== Changed) button "Quit" closeWindow
In the first line startWx runs an AutoForms GUI. The second line reads the specification of jobs to execute and when from the file system. The file path is in the specLocation constant, which is defined in the Entry1st module. If this file cannot be read, it falls back to an empty specification, one with no jobs defined.
The third line morphs an ADT (entryValue) to widgets. The fourth line creates state, which tells if the edited values has changed since they were last saved.
saveFile is an action which stores the edited values on the disc. This action is executed whenever the save-button is pressed. The save- and quit -button are created on the two last lines.
As would be expected from a Haskell program, but not from conventional GUI toolkits, this GUI is constructed in a type-safe fashion.
Here you can find the complete code for the application. If you installed AutoForms you can compile the our GUI by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron && make Editor1st" from within the AutoForms source distribution.
Using standard dialogs
In the last section we saw that you could easily create a GUI with AutoForms. However, editing some file using a nice GUI seems like a common task. Thus we should be able to reuse as much of the functionality as possible, i.e. we should not have to create save & quit buttons every time we need to edit some file. And with the editFile function we can avoid this:
module Editor2nd where import Entry1st import Graphics.UI.AF.WxFormAll $(derive [''Entry,''Time,''Month]) main = startWx "Editor2nd" $ editFile specLocation ([]::HCron)
that is all. Five lines of code and you have a GUI. This would not have been possible with a conventional GUI toolkit, as you need to specify the GUI elements and layout manually.
Again you can compile the application yourself, by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron && make Editor2nd" from within the AutoForms source code.
Editor with limits
The current editor accepts a lot more values than makes sense. For instance you can specify that you want the zero'th day of the month. It should not be a big surprise, as Haskell only lets us specify type constrains when they can be statically checked. This is not good enough for a user friendly GUI. We will therefore limit the possible values the GUI can have:
instance TypePresentation (Entry Time) tp1 tp2 tp3 tp4 tp5 where mkCom x = limit timeLimit ("Incorrect time") (defaultCom x) where timeLimit :: Entry Time -> IO Bool timeLimit Entry { when = Time y month d h m } = return $ y > 1970 && y < 2100 && d >= 1 && ((month == February && d <= 28) || (month == February && d == 29 && y `mod` 4 == 0) || (month `elem` [ January, March, May, July, August , October, December] && d <= 30) || (month `elem` [April, June, September, November] && d <= 30) ) && h >= 0 && h <= 23 && m >= 0 && m <= 59
we do this by instantiate the Entry Time type as a member of the type class TypePresentataion. Reading the mkCom function backwards, we first call defaultCom which constructs a default GUI for Entry Time. We then limit this default GUI to accept only sensible values using the timeLimit function. The GUI will complain with "Incorrect time" if the user inputs a non-sensible value.
Not only is this specification succinct, it also manages to separate the set of legal values from laying out GUI elements and from the interactive aspects of the GUI. In conventional GUI toolkits this restriction of legal values are intermixed with the GUI element creation and/or layout of elements.
Finally, we need to add a default Time value by specializing GInstanceCreator:
instance GInstanceCreator Time where gGenUpTo _ = [Time 2000 January 1 10 00]
Again you can compile the application yourself, by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron && make Editor3rdLimit" and you can find the source code here.
Recurring tasks
We set out to create a crontab-like GUI editor. But crontab handles recurring tasks and we do not. First we add recurring tasks to the Entry data type by adding a recurring field and changing the daemon accordingly:
data Entry t = Entry { when :: t
, recurring :: Maybe TimeDiff
, command :: String } deriving (Show, Read, Eq, Ord)
We also need to change the GUI. This is done by adding TimeDiff to the derive template function:
$(derive [<nowiki>''</nowiki>Entry,<nowiki>''</nowiki>Time,<nowiki>''</nowiki>Month,<nowiki>''</nowiki>TimeDiff])
that is, we need to tell AutoForms to construct GUI elements for the TimeDiff datatype. With conventional toolkits we would have to specify a new layout of elements, but with AutoForms it is done automatically. The changing requirements leeves us with almost no extra work for the GUI part.
The new GUI can be compiled by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron && make Editor4thRecurring.hs" and you can find the source code here.
Executing commands
As pointy-haired booses are known for, we are presented with yet another change in requirements. The GUI should now be able to execute the commands directly. To facilitate this change, TypePresentation is specialicalized to:
instance ( AutoForm WxAct ComH WxM SatCxt EC
, Sat (SatCxt (Entry Time)), Sat (SatCxt [String]))
=> TypePresentation (Entry Time) WxAct ComH WxM SatCxt EC where
mkCom x = limit timeLimit ("Incorrect time") $
label "Entry" entryCom
entryCom :: EC (Entry Time)
entryCom = builderToCom $
do entryHandle <- addCom $ defaultCom x -- don't use mkCom here, as this
-- results in eternal recursion
outputHandle <- addCom $ label "Command output" $ mkCom [""]
button "Exec..." (do cmd <- getValue entryHandle
(_, out) <- liftIO $ readCommand (Entry.command cmd) ""
setValue outputHandle (lines out)
return entryHandle
timeLimit :: Entry Time -> IO Bool
In stead of using 'mkCom' we know use our own component-creating function, named 'entryCom'. Our component consists of three sub-components. The entry (entryHandle) used for editing the command. An output component (outputHandle) where the output of executing the command is shown. And finally a button, which when pressed by the user, execute the command.
'entryCom' returns entryHandle, as we still wants the component to keep the same type as in the previous examples. That is, we do not want the type to reflect the button or the output component, but just the command-entry. 'builderToCom' (see top of entryCom-function) packages the three sub-components, as one big component.
The readCommand function is defined in the Run module and executes a command yielding a return code and the output.
The new GUI can be compiled by doing "cd src/Examples/HCron && make Editor5thOutputWindow.hs" and you can find the source code here.
Making a GUI for Cron
Most people using Unix-like operating systems, would probably prefer to keep using the ordinary Crontab daemon. Some may even suggest that just creating a new daemon (made to fit the AutoForms library) is a cop-out. To satiesfy these people and to make a more usefull application we have created a GUI for Crontab.
How this GUI works is left as an exercise for the reader.
Future work
While the GUIs above did show that AutoForms has potential, the GUIs were still small and the development of AutoForms has been directed by the needs of this tutorial. Therefore we need to create larger and more complex applications. We need this both to verify that AutoForms can be used for larger applications and to direct the development of AutoForms. To begin this work, we are currently creating a GUI version of GHCi.
Also the layout of GUI elements is not nearly as nice as it could be. This needs to be improved for AutoForms to become a serious alternative as a GUI toolkit.
I would like to thank Kido Takahiro as an early adaptor of AutoForms, with his Kamiariduki project. I would also like to thank him for valuable feedback.
Also the creatators of Scrap Your Boilerplate should be mentioned, without whom this project would not be possible.
Finally, the creators of the GEC toolkit should be mentioned as many ideas was borrowed from them.
