Basically this site: http://www.information-revolution.org and it's associated advertising try to position this organisation as a sort of free choice organisation campaigning against the dominance of Google. But it's a campaign for Ask.
It's truly terrible. A massive trainwreck of the highest order. I could write pages and pages of bitching, but I'm not going to. Just visit the site anlook at the comments (if they've not been taken down). Some of my favourites:
Viva la Choice!
I'll choose anything but Ask!
You people at Ask need to re-think whose gonna run your media campaigns. I bet you're all thinking "yeah but we got you on our site and engaged in discussion Keep trying… over the next 5 years i'm sure you might be able to gain some of the market share you are currently throwing down the toilet with this sham!!
Spend more money in making your search engine work properly and sack all those media muppets that came up with this information revolution idea.
And this I really love:
Shouldn't your ad campaign appear at least 1X on your own search engine especially since it appears several times on Google.
That's what happens when you hi-jack an insight (or in this case a genuine human concern) and trick people into coming to your site. Strangely they don't like it. Fair play to them for leaving the comments open, but I bet they were wishing they hadn't.
And they've spent shedloads on media both on and offline. And they've built a blog inside an i-frame, muppets ;-)

RMF/Contributor Guide/Build Process
We're still in the incubator phase - therefore, the release process is still being developed. Here are our guidelines so far:
The Most Important Stuff
- Our release manager is Lukas Ladenberger. Please coordinate with Lukas.
- We use the Git Flow Process as our release process
- Important: Never commit to master! (unless you are the release manager). Development takes place on the develop branch.
- The only branches on the server are master and develop. All other branches that are mentioned in git-flow are local branches
(17-Jan-2012) There has been a lot of discussion on rmf-dev. Some of the confusion stems from sloppy terminology. Therefore, here a little glossary:
- Release
- A Release is a super-official artifact that is typically published after reaching a number of milestones and building a few release candidates. The first release is planned for April 1st, 2014 (not a joke :-)).
- Milestone
- A milstone is a well-defined point towards a release. For now, we create milestones informally if we need an intermediate well-defined build.
- Release Candidate
- After the last milestone before a release, one or more release candidates are built. No major features may go into a RC, only bug fixes. As of this writing, release candidates are not used.
- Nightly Built
- A nightly built is typically generated by an continuous integration system, based on the latest code in the repository (develop branch in Git) and may be instable. It is published, so that daring users can try it out. As we currently don't have a CI system, we don't have nightly builts.
- Snapshot
- Deprecated! Similar to a nightly built, but built on demand from the latest sources and published (master branch in Git).
- Integration
- We use the term "Integration" to mark the end of a development iteration. We use a schedule-driven (rather than feature-driven) development process. Integrations are created in the Milestone-Field in Bugzilla. At the beginning of a development iteration, all bugs are reviewed by the team and assigned to an integration.
Milestone Process
Milestones are identified by a tag in git and by being located in the milestone folder, for binaries. Milestones are marked as follows, assuming Milestone 1 of RMF 0.10.0:
- git Tag name: milestone-0.10.0-M1
- Subfolder name for binaries (somewhere underneath a milestone folder): 0.10.0-M1
Release Process
The RMF build process is inspired by the Git Flow Process. Most of the text used in this chapter are citations from [1]. In general, this section describes a step by step instruction how to create a new release of RMF.
(1) Prepare release
- Review and revise the Roadmap. Review open issues (bugs and feature requests) and check if all bugs have been fixed and all feature requests have been implemented scheduled for this release. Not fixed bugs and not implemented feature request are assigned to the upcoming release.
- Check if the rmf.develop.mars build ([2]) builds without errors. Please fix the build, in case of an corrupt build.
(2) Merge develop branch into master branch
Use the following git commands to merge the develop branch into the master branch:
$ git checkout master $ git merge --no-ff develop $ git push
Now check that the Git revision ID on Hudson is still the one you have now in the master branch.
(3) Creating a tag
The next step consists of creating a tag for the release. In Git:
$ git tag -a release-0.4.0
No we have to push our tag. In Git:
$ git push origin release-0.4.0
(4) Publish Artifacts
In the next step you have to publish the different artifacts, which can be found in Jenkins in the last successful build section:
- RMF Feature update site
Put the different files in the correct folders on the eclipse server. The RMF download folder structure is well documented: RMF/Contributor_Guidline/Build_Process#Download_Folder_Structure.
Edit the two files compositeArtifacts.xml and compositeContent.xml in the updates folder and add a new line in the children section pointing to the new release version.
Here is an example, showing the compositeContent.xml file, where we added the new release version 0.4.0:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <?compositeArtifactRepository version='1.0.0'?> <repository name='"RMF Feature Update Site"' type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.CompositeArtifactRepository' version='1.0.0'> <properties size='1'> <property name='p2.timestamp' value='1243822502440'/> </properties> <children size='3'> <child location='releases/0.3.1'/> <child location='releases/0.3.2'/> <child location='releases/0.4.0'/> </children> </repository>
PLEASE NOTE: You have to increase the size attribute of the children tag!
(5) Bump version numbers
PLEASE NOTE: Switch back do the deveop branch!
In the last you have to bump the version numbers to the next version (in our case version 0.5.0). This is still a manual task which is cumbersome and error prone, since, there are many places to bump the version number. We have to improve this. There is already a bug entry for this task: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388421
At the following places you have to bump the version number:
- In all plugin.xml and feature.xml files in the corresponding org.eclipse.rmf.* plugin or features respectively. PLEASE NOTE: you have to keep the .qualifier postfix of all version numbers.
- In all pom.xml files in the corresponding org.eclipse.rmf.* plugin or features respectively. PLEASE NOTE: you have to keep the -SNAPSHOT postfix of all version numbers.
- In the rmf-pror-standalone.product file in the org.eclipse.rmf.releng.product.
- In the category.xml file in the org.eclipse.rmf.releng.repository.
- Take care of the dependencies: In the MANIFEST.MF files in the corresponding org.eclipse.rmf.* plugin or features respectively.
Finally, commit and push the bumped version numbers:
$ git commit -a -m "Bumped version numbers to 0.5.0" $ git push
We are done! :)
Version Numbers
We have version numbers for:
- Plugins
- Features
- Product
- Project
We have the following rules:
- While in the incubation phase, all major version numbers remain 0.
- While in the incubation phase, we will always generate qualifiers.
- Plugins: The minor and service numbers are incremented according to the Eclipse version rules.
- Features: The minor and service numbers are incremented according to the Eclipse version rules.
We have not decided yet what to do about the version number of product and project. One suggestion is:
- Create an "overarching" feature that aggregates all other features (e.g. an SDK Feature). Once such a feature is created, its version number is incremented according to the Eclipse version rules. Use the same version number for the product.
(mj) I don't quite like this, as it feels arbitrary and rather meaningless. OTOH, it would work and is kind of predictable.
Once we leave incubator phase, we will join the Eclipse release train and therefore conform the the relase train requirements. The major version number will graduate beyond zero, once we leave incubation. For now, the plugin and feature name must follow a (Incubation) mark.
- We will tag snapshots as snapshot-0.1.0-yyyymmddhhmm (yyyymmddhhmm <=> qualifier).
- Only the release manager creates tags.
Publishing Artifacts
Only snapshots artifacts will be published, both as stand-alone builds and update site builds. Nightly builds are available via Jenkins and won't be published!
Snapshot-Release Checklist: Before publishing a snapshot, update the snapshot release checklist (it is located in the dump folder in git). (HTML version)
We still have to figure out how the version number is constructed, the git tag is appended. Examples for the ProR standalone version:
- eclipse-rmf-pror-0.1.0-snapshot-yyyymmddhhmm-incubation-linux.gtk.x86.zip
- eclipse-rmf-pror-0.1.0-nightly-yyyymmddhhmm-incubation-linux.gtk.x86.zip
yyyymmddhhmm <=> qualifier
Product and Update Site Structure
Development Process
For now, we use a schedule-driven, iterative development process. An iteration is 8 weeks long and consists of the following steps:
- Review and revise the Roadmap
- Review open issues (bugs and feature requests) and decide which issues should be resolved in the upcoming iteration. Those issues will be assigned to the corresponding integration (e.g. i12.03 for the March 2012 integration).
- Developers get busy implementing.
- At the end of the iteration, a snapshot is published, both in the form of a product built and update site (Bonus: once we have a CI system, this is probably just a link to the corresponding nightly built).
- Rinse, repeat.
Download Folder Structure
Currently, we have the following download folder structure:
- rmf (root folder)
- updates (Contains the different feature updates sites)
- snapshot (Contains the update sites for the snapshot builds) (Since version 0.10.0 deprecated!)
- <version number> (e.g. 0.1.0)
- releases (Contains the update sites for the release builds)
- <version number> (e.g. 0.1.0)
- latest (Contains the update site for the latest build from Jenkins)
- This folder contains a reference to [3].
- milestones (Contains the milestone builds)
- <version number> (e.g. 0.1.0-M1 for milestone build version 0.1.0 M1)
- snapshot (Contains the update sites for the snapshot builds) (Since version 0.10.0 deprecated!)
- product-updates (Contains the different product updates sites) (Since version 0.10.0 deprecated!)
- downloads (Contains all other artifacts like RCP builds) (Since version 0.10.0 deprecated!)
- updates (Contains the different feature updates sites)
Since, the RMF download page is automatically build based on this structure, it is important to keep it!
More information: [4].
Release Reviews
All official Releases must have a successful Release Review before being made available for download. The purposes of a Release Review are: to summarize the accomplishments of the release, to verify that the IP Policy has been followed and all approvals have been received, to highlight any remaining quality and/or architectural issues, and to verify that the project is continuing to operate according to the Principles and Purposes of Eclipse [5]. More information about a Release Review can be found at: Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews.
IP Log
The Development_Resources/IP_Log is an important artifact within the release review. The log tracks
- Licenses;
- Past and present committers;
- Third-party libraries; and
- Contributions from outside the project (i.e. non-committers)
The Eclipse Ecosystem provides a tool for automatically generating the IP Log from git, bugzilla, ipzilla, etc. The automatic IP Log of the RMF project is available at: [6]
To fully leverage the value of the Automated IP Log Tool, you need to:
- Keep your project metadata up-to-date
- Mark IP Contributions [7] in Bugzilla by setting the iplog tag to
- + contains IP that was used in the code
- - IP is not used in the code
- Follow the guidelines for handling Git contributions
- Create contribution questionnaires (CQs) where appropriate
- The IP Contribution Review Tool [8] can help finding IP issues in Bugzilla.
- To look up if a contributor has a valid Contributor License Agreement: [9]
- To check if all required CQs are available please check the content of the dowload directory: [10]
Release Engineering
Note: This is an initial PROPOSAL for the RMF build system. It is still under discussion.
- The build system shall run on the local workstation as well as on the Eclipse build server [11]
- The build system shall create the following artifacts:
- update site
- standalone executables for windows, linux, mac
- The build system shall support automated
- test execution
- static code analysis
- javadoc generation
- The build system shall be based on a technology that is recommended by the Eclipse foundation. This will reduce maintenance costs and it is more likely to get support and find documentation.
Build Infrastructure
In order to be able to maintain Eclipse Software for a long period of time, the Eclipse Foundation has started the Long Term Support Program LTS. Although it is acceptable to have different build systems within the Eclipse Community Build Technologies it is recommended to use the Eclipse Common Build Infrastructure CBI. From a technology point of view, the CBI is a combination of Hudson, Maven, Tycho, and build signing.
For the sake of evaluation an initial build system that is based on Tycho is now available in the development branch for the RMF repository. In order to make use of the Tycho build scripts in your local workspace please install the Maven support for Eclipse m2eclipse. In the workspace you will find the following projects that are related to building the projects
- org.eclipse.rmf.releng contains the parent pom file which is the starting point for the build. When starting the pom file, you will need to select a target platform. This is done by selecting the profile platform-juno, platform-kepler, kepler-luna or platform-mars
- org.eclipse.rmf.releng.target contains the target definition
- org.eclipse.rmf.releng.repository contains the configuration for generating a p2 repository (update-site) (the update site is created into /target/repository)
- org.eclipse.rmf.releng.product contains the configuration for generating the RMF standalone products (the products are created into /target/products)
All other features, plugins and tests are extended by a pom file. Project specific configuration should be done here. For adding new test cases to the build system, please create a test suite class that follows the naming pattern 'All*Tests.java'

Feds Shared Chinese Hacker Data With Service Providers
FBI and Homeland Security temporarily slowed attacks by giving U.S. service providers info on Chinese hackers' command-and-control infrastructure.
The Syrian Electronic Army: 9 Things We Know
(click image for larger view)
The Syrian Electronic Army: 9 Things We Know
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in February supplied hundreds of IP addresses of suspected Chinese command-and-control (C&C) servers to U.S. service providers.
That intelligence sharing, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was meant to counter rampant cyber spying by China by allowing service providers to block the IP addresses, according to unnamed U.S. officials. Compromised PCs in the United States would have contacted the IP addresses to receive instructions from attackers, or to relay sensitive data to Chinese spies.
But any gains from the threat-intelligence sharing were short lived, with attackers quickly retooling and launching attacks using new infrastructure. "Part of the problem is we can close this door and it's fairly easy for them to open another door," a U.S. official told the Journal.
The timing of the IP address information sharing, made by DHS and the FBI, suggests that it was done in the wake of Mandiant's February release of a report that tied the Chinese government a six-year advanced persistent threat (APT) campaign that hacked 141 businesses across 20 industries. Mandiant said it had traced these attacks to People's Liberation Army (PLA) Unit 61398, which it described as an elite military hacking unit.
[ Is hacking a two-way street? Read Snowden Says U.S. Hacking Chinese Civilians Since 2009. ]
The report included lists of IP addresses that Mandiant said were part of malicious Chinese C&C infrastructure. With Mandiant set to release the information -- CSO Richard Bejtlich said the cybersecurity firm gave the government at least a week's warning before doing so -- DHS likely decided to share related details with service providers, before the IP address information became useless for blocking active attacks.
The Chinese government denied all of the allegations contained in Mandiant's report. But in the wake of its release, multiple U.S. information security experts reported a reduction in attacks emanating from China. That decline, however, was only temporary, and likely reflected the fact that attackers were simply setting up new operations. By May, Adam Meyers, Crowdstrike's director of intelligence, told The New York Times that aside from seeing a few new tactics, it was "business as usual" for China's APT attackers.
Anup Ghosh, CEO of Invincea, disputed the long-term usefulness of having the U.S. government share C&C server IP addresses with service providers. "We're fighting forest fires with fire extinguishers," Ghosh said by phone. "This isn't a way to defend networks. This is way after the fact, when you discover you were compromised," he said.
Indeed, such information is typically gleaned by doing a forensic analysis of a captured C&C server, cataloging the IP addresses it's contacted, then identifying which ones trace to U.S. businesses and government agencies. With that information in hand, the FBI can alert affected organizations and agencies, who can then undertake a forensic investigation and try to identify what information attackers got their hands on.
"These methods can provide temporary relief, like putting ointment on a pain, but it's not a solution to the problem," Ghosh said. "What we really need to do is focus on 'how do we actually stop the threat, rather than cleaning up after it.' That requires innovating in software, innovating in architectures and really stopping the problem."
Might diplomacy help? That question is pertinent, after a U.S.-China cybersecurity working group held its first-ever meeting this week in Washington as part of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue (S&ED). The creation of the working group was announced in April, as part of what officials said were efforts to improve cybersecurity dialog, cooperation and coordination between the two countries.
A U.S. official with knowledge of the talks didn't detail the extent to which information released by National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden might have overshadowed the cybersecurity discussions, Bloomberg reported. Amongst the many details of NSA surveillance programs leaked by Snowden was information on what he described as the agency's hacking of civilian Chinese PCs, starting in 2009.
"Unfazed by the ruckus over the revelations of former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, the Obama administration appears determined to use those talks to continue pressing the Chinese on the rampant theft of U.S. trade secrets and its implications for America's long-term economic competitiveness," according to an analysis of the talks published this week by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
U.S. officials have long maintained that China's active targeting of U.S. intellectual property differs from the U.S. approach to espionage, which isn't used to advance the country's business interests.
Still, early indications are that the bilateral talks won't lead to any immediate change in China's APT attack posture, not least because of Beijing again attempting to frame cybersecurity as an international issue, with the country suffering its own share of online attacks. "At least so far ... Beijing seems reluctant to offer any fresh proposals on managing bilateral friction over cyber theft," said the CSIS report. "The officials also stressed that Beijing's agenda for the S&ED talks remained firmly focused on expanding bilateral trade and investment, clearly downplaying the cyber issue."

We are operating in a new environment with respect to interacting with customers and prospects. And this environment will be different tomorrow than it is today—literally. That's how fast things are changing; as new technology is created at accelerated rates, the only thing moving faster is consumer adoption of the "latest and greatest" app or gadget.
As a result, companies must adjust their approach. And while focusing on improving a customer's experience is important, broadening the scope to include opportunities to facilitate improvement of customer lifestyles when possible offers the potential to build longer, more intimate relationships. Most likely it will take a different approach to deliver the experiences customers expect.
Here are a few key tenets companies are taking to heart to create organizations that can keep up with customer behaviors and expectations.
Fast and Flexible (F)
Every second counts when it comes to meeting customer expectations. A study by Kissmetrics found that 47 percent of consumers expect a Web page to load in two seconds or less, and just a one-second delay decreases customer satisfaction by 16 percent. According to a recent University of Massachusetts study, if a video hasn't started streaming in five seconds, about 25 percent of potential viewers will bail before viewing, and if it doesn't start in 10 seconds, that jumps to almost 50 percent.Speed thrills and lack of it kills. We've never liked waiting for things we want, and technology enables us to wait less and less. Book buyers are used to getting e-books downloaded in less than 60 seconds, where just a few years ago they didn't mind waiting days for a book to be delivered—or even going to a bookstore to get it.
With less time to make a connection and convert it into a meaningful relationship, companies have to act quickly—and react even quicker, which means taking a hard look at their current capabilities to make fast moves.
Agile and Analytical (A)
There has never been more information about consumers, much of it coming from consumers themselves. Companies that invest in creating a strategic social listening culture supported by tools can effectively understand what's important to customers and prospects in real time.Being able to integrate social data with transactional information is critical to discovering important insights. And while aggregating disparate data and analyzing it calls for analytical tools and skill sets, it also calls for an empathic approach to convert those insights into appealing interaction opportunities.
Interactive and Integrated (I)
Social, mobile, and cloud technologies have unleashed people's collaborative nature, and it's important for companies to not only embrace this, but to find ways to facilitate it. And as customers, people want to be valued beyond the financial transaction their business brings.Pamela O'Hara, CEO of social CRM vendor Batchbook, says early customers are crucial to her business. They help figure out who the company's market is, how to reach that market, and at what price point. Because of this, O'Hara says it is important for her entire team to be involved in the relationship they are building with customers. Integrating customers' voices—not just their wallets—is key in building a business today.
Responsive and Reliable (R)
That building trust is critical to finding and keeping customers isn't news. But it's something that can get lost in the excitement generated by social media, mobile technology, and the cloud. And listening sometimes, responding when you can, or doing things right occasionally won't get you far with customers. It raises expectations quicker, and disappoints faster when those expectations aren't met.Because consumers are operating differently today, and more differently tomorrow, companies must embrace the environment in which we're operating. It's only fair to customers that companies rethink their approach to doing business and building relationships with them.

The Houston Astros Fire Manager and GM After MLB Suspension
The Houston Astros were informed today that the investigation into the 2017 cheating scandal has been concluded and that the manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow would be suspended until the end of the 2020 postseason. The Astros were also informed that they would be losing their first and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts. The Astros were also levied the maximum fine of $5 million and their former assistant general manager was put on baseball's ineligible list.
It's important to note that even though multiple players were named during the investigation and there is clear evidence of them being complicit in the cheating, there will be zero player suspensions stemming from this scandal.
All of this was announced in a document released by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred who hammered the Astros' front office culture saying it has been, "very problematic."
Because of the suspensions and the obvious lack of integrity shown from both Luhnow and Hinch as they've led the ship for the Astros through the controversy the Owner and Chairman of the Houston Astros have fired both men.
In the same press conference, Crane said he would be taking over the Baseball operations and that there would be a general manager hired from within.
The Astros will also need to hire a new manager with less than a month to go before pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report.
Now, the gaze shifts north to Boston where manager Alex Cora will be the next to hear his fate. He was allegedly the ringleader of the cheating in Houston as the team's bench coach on their way to a World Series and then his team won the World Series in Boston the very next year in his first season as manager.
There is a separate investigation being conducted into Cora and the Red Sox misconduct.

Service-Learning is a Flexible Pedagogy
Initial Publication Date: November 30, 2010
Service-learning can be incorporated into any classroom setting. Faculty interested in adopting service-learning have a wide variety of choices in terms of both the service experience and learning outcomes.
It can be used in a variety of classroom settings:
- Service-learning can be incorporated in seminars, lecture-based classes, classes with labs or tutorials
The service experience can take a wide variety of service formats:
- Service-learning can be incorporated in classes of 30 or fewer students or in classes with as many as 100 students
- Service experiences vary along a continuum from a limited single service experience to a service experience that is the basis for an entire class
- Service activity can take place at a single community site, at multiple community sites, or in the classroom
- Students can serve individually, in groups, or as an entire class
- exams
- reflective essays, journals, or research papers
- oral presentations to interested community members
- outcomes of community based research
In addition, (Ziegert and McGoldrick, 2008) suggest service-learning can be adopted incrementally over time. For example, in one semester faculty might have students research community agencies that deal with topics discussed in the classroom as a way to identify future potential community partners. In subsequent semesters students might identify potential projects that could potentially benefit these agencies. And finally in a subsequent semester a service-learning experience could be fulling integrated into a course.

Subscribe to Cases that cite 259 U. S. 13U.S. Supreme Court
Atherton Mills v. Johnston, 259 U.S. 13 (1922)
Atherton Mills v. Johnston
No. 16
Argued December 10, 1919
Restored to docket for reargument June 6, 1921
Decided May 15, 1922
A father and minor son secured a permanent injunction preventing a manufacturer from discharging the son from employment in consequence of the Federal Child Labor Tax Law upon the ground that the law was unconstitutional, but, pending an appeal, the son ceased to be within the ages affected by the statute. Held that, as the case had become moot, the merits could not be considered, but the decree should be reversed with direction to dismiss the bill without costs. P. 259 U. S. 15.
Appeal from a decree of the district court granting a permanent injunction. See Child Labor Tax Case, post, 259 U. S. 20.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT delivered the opinion of the Court.
The two Johnstons, father and son, citizens of North Carolina, the former in his own right and as the authorized chanrobles.com-red
next friend of his son, filed their bill of complaint April 15, 1919, against the Atherton Mills, a corporation of the same state. The bill averred that Johnston, the son, was a minor between the ages of 14 and 16 years, that Johnston, the father, supporting his son, was entitled to his earnings until he attained his majority, that the son was in the employ of the defendant, that, by the terms of the so-called Child Labor Tax Act, approved February 24, 1919, § 1200, 40 Stat. 1057, 1138, the defendant was subjected to a tax of one-tenth of its annual profits if it employed a child within the ages of 14 and 16 for more than 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, or before the hour of 6 a.m. or after the hour of 7 p.m.; that the defendant was unwilling to arrange a schedule of working hours to comply with this requirement for the minor complainant, and was about to discharge him because of the act, thus depriving the son and father of all of the son's earnings. On the ground that the act was invalid because beyond the powers of Congress, and that the discharge would injure both complainants by a serious deprivation of earnings which, but for the law, they would enjoy, and that the granting of an injunction would prevent a multiplicity of suits, they prayed for an injunction against the defendant from discharging the complainant son or in any manner curtailing his employment to eight hours a day or otherwise. The defendant answered admitting all the substantial averments of the bill except the invalidity of the Child Labor Tax Act. It specifically admitted its intention to discharge the complainant son when the act went into effect and solely because of the act. On April 23, 1919, a motion for a preliminary injunction was heard. The United States attorney for the Western district of North Carolina, not entering an appearance but speaking as amicus curiae, suggested
"the want of jurisdiction because there is no allegation in the bill of a contract preventing the defendant
from discharging the employee for any reason that might seem fit to it, and also because the case is not one arising under the internal revenue or other federal laws so as to give the court jurisdiction to pass on the validity of the law."
The court granted the temporary injunction and made it permanent by order of May 2, 1919.
The defendant appealed directly to this Court under § 238 of the Judicial Code, assigning error (1) to the failure to dismiss the bill; (2) to the holding that the Child Labor Tax Act was invalid; (3) to the injunction.
The record shows that the pleadings were framed to bring this case within that of Truax v. Raich, 239 U. S. 33, 239 U. S. 38, but it differs from that case in that the sole defendant here is the employer, while in that case there was joined with the employer, the state officer who threatened to enforce the alleged invalid law against his codefendant and compel him to end the contract against his will and to the complainant's irreparable damage. The record further raises the doubt whether, on its face, this is a real case within the meaning of the Constitution upon which the judgment of this Court upon the validity of an act of Congress under the Constitution can be invoked, and whether it does not violate the principle and ignore the caution of the words of Mr. Justice Brewer in Chicago & Grand Trunk Railway Co. v. Wellman, 143 U. S. 339, 143 U. S. 345, which are quoted in Muskrat v. United States, 219 U. S. 346, 219 U. S. 359. These are serious questions requiring full consideration. We only state them in order that it may not be thought by our conclusion that we here decide them.
The lapse of time since the case was heard and decided in the district court has brought the minor whose employment was the subject matter of the suit to an age which is not within the ages affected by the act. The act, even if valid, cannot affect him further. The case for an injunction has therefore become moot, and we cannot chanrobles.com-red
consider it. Mills v. Green, 159 U. S. 651; Codlin v. Kohlhausen, 181 U. S. 151; Tennessee v. Condon, 189 U. S. 64, 189 U. S. 71; American Book Co. v. Kansas, 193 U. S. 49, 193 U. S. 51, 24 Sup.Ct. 394, 48 L.ed. 613; Jones v. Montague, 194 U. S. 147; Fisher v. Baker, 203 U. S. 174.
The case having become moot, the decree is reversed with a direction to dismiss the bill without costs to either party.

Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT
A daisy is a friendly flower, not precious, not exotic, but it evokes a spirit in a lot of women.
- Marc Jacobs
Daisy Marc Jacobs is the same classic, pure fragrance thats charmingly simple with a signature quality. It transports you to a place that is optimistic, beautiful, and pure. The scent embodies the essence of the daisy girl who wears it: timeless, yet young-at-heart. She is a reminder to be open, loving, and playful while radiating positive energy. The bottle is the embodiment of sophistication and vintage charm. Inspired by its name, the daisy flower is turned into a whimsical bottle shape. The weighted block of clear glass with soft, rounded edges is classic and luxurious, while the scattering of daisies blooming from the rounded gold metal hardware creates an unexpected, retro-cool twist.
The top of the fragrance is infused with succulent wild berries and soft white violets, leaving an irresistibly fresh and radiant scent on the skin. At the heart, velvety jasmine wraps with each note, enhancing the vibrancy of the florals. A dreamy drydown of sandalwood imparts an aura of warmth and sensuality, creating a delicate and romantic contrast within the fragrance.

Yom Kippur
Physical Feetness
Anon from Australia wrote:Dear Rabbi,
What is the rationale behind the prohibition of not wearing leather shoes on Yom Kippur?
Dear Anon,
The shoe symbolizes the physical body. Just as the shoe encases the lowest part of the body and allows it to ambulate in the world, so too the body encases the lowest level of the soul and allows it to ambulate and relate to the physical world.
Therefore, whenever G-d wants a person to relate on a totally spiritual level, ignoring the body, He commands him to remove his shoes. This was true when G-d spoke to Moses and to Joshua; it was true for the kohanim in the Temple in Jerusalem, and it is true for every Jew on Yom Kippur. We ignore the physical for one day a year, and to symbolize this we remove our leather shoes. Leather specifically, because it came from a living creature and hence symbolizes the body in a much more graphic way than other materials.
The shoe is also removed in a ceremony called "chalitzah," as follows: If one of two brothers dies childless, it is a mitzvah for the widow and the surviving brother to marry each other. If the brother refuses, then the widow is to remove his shoe, signifying that he does not deserve physical comfort or

Most notably, a book named "C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond" by David Abrahams and Aleksey Gurtovoy is considered to be the most authoritative and up-do-date treatment of the subject as of today. The tutorial included with this documentation is in fact an excerpt from this work.
Other notable book resources include Andrei Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied", in which Andrei explorers the appication of C++ metaprogramming techniques to implementing highly reusable and configurable generic designs, and "C++ Templates - The Complete Guide", by David Vandevoorde and Nicolai M.

Now that the field has been set, USA TODAY Sports' Nicole Auerbach examines the NCAA Tournament bracket and which teams have the best shot at making it to the Final Four.
Illinois State coach Dan Muller had himself prepared for Selection Sunday heartbreak. He says he's used to managing his emotions when it comes to something he cannot control.
His players were a different story.
After an agonizing week of waiting in which the Redbirds (27-6, 17-1) watched championship week closely — knowing different outcomes could push them on the right or wrong side of the NCAA tournament bubble — the inescapable heartbreak set in after their name was not one of the 68 teams called for 2017's Big Dance. On most national bracketology boards, they were the first team out. And a No. 1 seed in the NIT is their consolation postseason fate. Other bubble teams like Syracuse, Illinois and Georgia all suffered a similar fate.
"My team is crushed," Muller said of his team's devastation. Illinois State players had a quick shootaround, then watched the selection show as a team, closed off to the public. Cameras were there just in case an at-large bid happened. "I feel terrible for them, especially my seniors. We feel we should be in but we aren't. It's tough to take but we'll have to gather ourselves and get ready for the NIT.
NCAA BRACKET: Full field of 68
Muller, frustrated with the criticism that his team did not schedule hard enough as a mid-major, added: "We ask dozens of schools to play us every year and they won't. Don't talk to me about scheduling."
Ironically, this week Muller turned to King Rice, the head coach of last year's biggest NCAA tournament snub — Monmouth — for advice on how to prepare his players. Rice, among other mentors for Muller, helped the fifth-year coach construct a "cautiously optimistic" approach for his veteran-laden team during an anxiety-ridden week.
Muller remembers hearing Illinois State's name called on Selection Sunday when he was a player in 1998, the last time the Redbirds reached the NCAA tournament. That time the program knew it would be dancing, having won the Missouri Valley's auto bid. This year, despite finishing as co-MVC champions with Wichita State in the regular season, a 20-point loss in the MVC tournament final against the red-hot Shockers meant the Redbirds' résumé would be examined all week long with their postseason fate fully out of their control.
The NCAA selection committee made it clear Illinois State's profile was fully examined. But ultimately it lacked what the committee needed much more of: Top 50 Ratings Percentage Index wins. The Redbirds had just one top-50 win, against the Shockers, to go with two résumé-staining losses to Tulsa and Murray State. Illinois State likely paid the cost of the committee veering away from placing a high value on a team's overall RPI. Last season, for instance, Syracuse squeaked into the field with a worst-ever 72 RPI. The Redbirds' Selection Sunday RPI of 33 is one of the 10 best RPIs to be snubbed from the NCAAs.
Here's a look at the most notable snubs behind Illinois State.
Ultimately, an RPI of 84 was just way too high, even if this program went all the way to the Final Four as a bubble team that squeaked in last year. The Orange (18-14, 10-8) had top-50 wins in bunches after finishing in the middle of the pack of the ACC. Marquee victories against Duke, Florida State and Virginia looked really, really nice. But Jim Boeheim's group only won two games total away from the Carrier Dome, which likely was the deciding factor.
The Fighting Illini (18-14, 8-10) lost in the Big Ten tournament to eventual champion Michigan. Had this team not lost to Rutgers in its season finale, maybe Groce would still have a job and opportunity to prove himself in the NCAAs one last time. After his firing, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Illinois was not getting in.The Illini had an RPI in the 60s and their best wins all came against borderline teams — beating Virginia Commonwealth, Northwestern, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Iowa.
The Bulldogs (19-14, 9-9) weren't really snubbed considering they were a bubble team of What Ifs. They almost beat Florida and Kentucky in overtime losses and just couldn't get the marquee win that would've put them over the edge like fellow SEC bubble team Vanderbilt did against Florida. A top-20 strength of schedule looked solid, but their top wins were all against other bubble teams. Plus they had a profile blemish with a loss to Oakland.
The Hawkeyes were close after winning four in a row to close out the regular season but got dominated by Indiana in the Big Ten tournament to all but seal their fate. Despite five top-50 wins, the Big Ten's overall strength didn't do them any favors, nor did an RPI of 81.
The Bears (21-12, 10-8) just didn't have enough meat on their resume. Had they beat Oregon in the Pac-12 semis, that likely would have shoved them in. An RPI of 53 and no bad losses kept Cal in the discussion, but the lack of eye candy led to a disappointing Sunday.

Occasionally I will search the forum for serial routine ideas. These searches always bring up old posts from people who have overheating issues with their RS232 interface ICs. In every post I have seen here, that included a schematic, the schematic is wired incorrectly. Instead of posting how to correctly wire an interface chip, the threads sometime gravitate to discussions on fake chips from China. Though fake chips are a problem, the fix is to observe proper wiring of TTL devices.
TTL wiring rule number one;
All inputs MUST go somewhere.
Leaving an input floating can cause wild oscillations, overheating issues and massive current draw issues. The MAX232 is a two channel device with two TTL inputs. Every schematic posted in this forum shows only one input tied to something. The other is left floating. This is wrong. Tie that other, unused, input to either ground or 5 volts.
Another point of confusion I see is that MAX232 is taken as literally, when it is really being used generically . When shopping for a new IC, it is better to search for a RS232 interface IC. A Maxim Integrated MAX232CPE from Mouser.com cost $3.20. I prefer to use a Texas Instruments TRS202ECN from Mouser.com which costs $1.53. I get the same performance at half the price. Theres no need to turn to China for affordable interface ICs.
So if you happen across a post that includes a schematic that shows an RS232 interface chip that is wired incorrectly, an input left floating, reply to that post to do something with that unused input. Doing that will save someone hours of trouble-shooting time.

Despite the lack of "proper" winter weather, I have been doing my best to enjoy the festive season with lots of Christmas-themed Nice Days Out...
The absolute highlight so far has been Christmas at Kew: a one mile illuminated trail through the gardens. I have to admit that (with an eye on my budget which, like most peoples, is a bit squeezed at this time of year) I ummed and aahed about buying a ticket to this as it looked a bit pricey and I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money but oh my goodness you guys it was so wonderful.
Look how amazing the Palm House looked all lit up!
There was so much loveliness to see along the trail...
... including a garden of fire...
... and fun installations like a choir of singing holly bushes (you can see a short video of them here, make sure you have your sound on!) and a fabulous colour-changing curtain of lights to walk through:
I had a huge grin on my face the whole way round, nearly cried with joy a couple of times and positively skipped home (where I proceeded to talk loudly about how awesome the evening was to anyone who would listen).
This year's Christmas at Kew trail runs until 2nd January, you'll find all the info here. In case you hadn't already guessed, I highly recommend it!
I've also visited a few of the big London Department stores Christmas departments, and took an after-dark walk down Oxford Street to enjoy all the bright and cheerful window displays.
Selfridges have a Zodiac theme this year:
I also rather enjoyed the woodland-themed windows at Accessorize (those owls!)...
... and the explosion of stars at Debenhams:
My fave windows so far this year though are probably those at Liberty (just off Regent Street) - they're absolutely jam-packed with beautifully arranged, lovely things.
Other festive outings have included a trip to the cinema to see Die Hard on the big screen (not exactly a traditional Christmas movie, but a very fun one all the same!) and a visit to the Geffrye Museum in East London.
The Geffrye is a fab (and free to visit) museum with 11 period rooms showing how the English have lived, from the 1600s to the present day. For their annual Christmas Past exhibition they decorate the rooms, showing how we've celebrated Christmas through the centuries. This was quite delightful! I also learned a lot about how our seasonal traditions have changed and evolved over time, which was rather fascinating. The Christmas displays at the Geffrye run to Jan 3rd, click here for all the info.
Finally, I'm planning a visit to Windsor Castle, which is currently decorated with a Regency-themed display to show "how the Prince Regent (the future George IV) celebrated Christmas at Windsor Castle in the early 19th century". Windsor is always worth a visit but it was especially wonderful to see it decorated for Christmas last year - I'm really looking forward to seeing this year's decorations!
You can enjoy a Regency Christmas at Windsor until Jan 5th, click here for all the info & a short video.
I'm taking a short break from blogging to spend time with family, etc, over Christmas but I'll be back soon! Best winter-y wishes to you all xxx

I had some goat cheese once that wasn't too bad. It was at a food fair, and it was cream cheese made out of goat cheese, or at least that's how the salesman explained it. Not too bad that way, I must say.
