There Is No "Should" In Agile. Really, Can You Be Agile and Not Disciplined? Sometimes people tell me, "Wow, you're so disciplined!"
And then I think, "How do you stay sane when you're not?" Last week, it happened again. On Facebook I posted a screenshot of the huge checklist that I use as a quality assurance gate for my book chapters. Some people commented that this looked quite disciplined. Frankly speaking, I don't see what's so special about my discipline. I don't see how it can be any different. Agility versus Discipline Ever since Barry Boehm published his badly titled book Balancing Agility and Discipline, people have offered different views on the discipline issue in Agile communities.
Probably, all of them have good points. Check the work processes of a dozen Scrum teams and I bet you will find that most Scrum teams do not have a properly defined Definition of Done. Apparently, in software teams this view is uncommon.
12 Key Agile Assumptions. Written by Mike Cottmeyer Tuesday, 11 January 2011 02:08 Last time we talked about the attributes of successful agile teams.
I did that post because sometimes I think we get hung up on implementing some set specific practices, just because we think that's what it means to be agile. My belief is that agile isn't about adopting any one set of practices. Agile isn't really about adopting practices at all. Agile is about being able to get feedback and respond to change. In short, the idea that installing some set of specific practices make us agile is just wrong. Shifting focus to today's topic, this post is about the 12 key assumptions team-based agile methods make about your organization.
If you go the prepackaged route, you need to understand what assumptions are being made about your organization before you begin. 12 Key Knowledge Areas for Agile. Written by Mike Cottmeyer Thursday, 13 January 2011 05:08 I think this is going to be my last 12 point list for the week.
It's not like I'm out of time or anything… the snow melted a little yesterday… but we are still pretty much iced in. We are going to brave heading out to the grocery store this afternoon and maybe have lunch out again. Past that, we are all hunkered down hoping that the sun comes out and warms us up a bit. After this one, I've got one more piece I want to write, but then I'd like to put a wrapper around all of my content from this week, and then maybe dive deeper into each of the individual topics. Okay… so today's post we are going to talk about the knowledge areas, or schools of thought, we're going to want to consider as we plan our adoption and transformation strategy (see… it's easy to tangle the words up). 1. 2.
Failure IS an Option. This is an article asking you to fail.
More precisely: Fail now for greater success later. One of the five Scrum values is courage. Courage to point out problems, ask for help, receive help, and — most important — take risks even though you know you might fail. In fact, short-term failure is common to Agile's "inspect and adapt" practice. We all know that once we inspect and adapt a new practice, there's a high chance the practice still won't work as desired, and then we'll drop it and seek a better approach. Ironically, past glories may lower our ability to achieve further success, because we're fearful that any potential failure will overshadow that previous success. While it's human nature to fear failure, it is not impossible to overcome this fear.
Here's a well-documented example: In 2000, Virgin Atlantic Airways attempted to introduce "sleep seats" in business class. Using the skills of the entire team is important, too. Your Path through Agile Fluency. Agile methods are solidly in the mainstream, but that popularity hasn't been without its problems.
Organizational leaders are complaining that they're not getting the benefits from Agile they expected. This article presents a model of Agile fluency that will help you achieve Agile's benefits. Fluency evolves through four distinct stages, each with its own benefits, costs of adoption, and key metrics. For over twelve years, we've been leading and helping teams transition to Agile. The industry has changed a lot in that time. Throughout the next decade, Agile grew. The community grew, too. Agile Software Development: A People Business. Let's face it: People skills is not an area in which the software development community has traditionally excelled.
The very traits that can help a developer excel at technical problem solving can often make him or her challenging to work with day to day. For a lot of ScrumMasters, this is by far the trickiest part of the role. It is also by far the most important. A ScrumMaster who doesn't work well with people, and get them working well with each other, is a ScrumMaster who is not serving the team well.
To truly master Scrum, and to realize its great benefits, you must do more than gain a detailed knowledge of the theory and best practices. The skills and qualities of a great ScrumMaster are too numerous to list here. Trust. Brief History of Agile Movement. Brief History of Agile Movement Posted by Udayan Banerjee on March 23, 2012 · 24 Comments In February this year agile movement completes 11 years of existence.
I am sure you are either using some form of agile methodology or examining the possibility of using them. But, are you aware of how the agile movement happened? Did it happen by chance or was it inevitable? The Influencers It is clear from the notes published by Jon Kern that 4 methodologies had significant influence on the manifesto – they are: Scrum (Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber – also Mike Beedle)DSDM (DSDM Consortium represented by Arie van Bennekum)ASD (Jim Highsmith)XP (Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham and Ron Jeffries – Martin Fowler) Prior to the meet all these methodologies were classified as "Lightweight Methodologies". 1992 – Crystal Methods 1993 – Refactoring 1994 – Dynamic Systems Development Method 1995 – Scrum and Pair Development.
There Are 2 Kinds of Writers: Architects and Gardeners. Designed by Dmitry Baranovskiy for the Noun Project The creative routines of famous creatives has been popular internet fodder this year.
The Pacific Standard thinks this obsession and trend of emulating famous artist's habits is problematic, to say the least. The larger picture, says Casey N. Cep, is that most artists did not always followed these routines they're known for anyways. In the end they would have still produced genius work regardless of the kind of breakfast they ate, hours they worked, or whatever office supplies they used.

The Antivirus scanning performance mostly depends on server performance. But the default configuration of the Antivirus may not be optimal so we would recommend server admins to adust the default settings for better performance. Just open the "Settings" tab and check the current parameters.
- "Quick Scan" mode – if checked, the antivirus scans critical files only (php, js, html, htaccess, txt and some others). If you need to scan all files, uncheck the option.
- Skip images and other media – if checked, it will skip jpg, png, gif, avi, mpg, mov, bmp, tiff, docx, xlsx, pptx, pdf, and some others. if you need to scan all files, uncheck the option.
- Optimize by speed – if checked, the antivirus will do intelligent scanning of cache folders of CMS to speed up overall process. Uncheck the option for careful scanning.
- Max working threads – how many websites are to be scanned simultaneously.
Strong recommendation for server admins managing servers with 4 or more number of CPU cores or lots of websites installed to change the "Max working threads".
As the opposite if you feel that the Antivirus consumes lots of server resources just decrease the parameters "Max working threads" and "Max allocated memory…".

I learned how to "wet-exit" a hardshell kayak this week. The maneuver involves tucking, slapping, tugging and "taking off your pants." I know I have your attention now.
I took a Level 1 kayak course withRocky Mountain Outdoor Center. My instructor, Paul Zimmer, referred to the final step as "taking off your pants." (He later said "taking off your boat pants.")
When you flip your kayak, you must tuck your head to avoid hitting rocks. Then, in a step that is most likely only for instructional purposes, slap the bottom of the boat three times. Next, find the pull tab on the splash skirt, pull it free from the lip of the kayak, put your knees together and "take off your pants." The move is really just sliding out of the kayak, but it does feel like taking off tight pants.
My ear canals are not meant to go upside down in water. Especially not at this altitude. I wore earplugs for years as a child. I thought I had outgrown my ear issues, but I have not. I got the tiniest bit of water in my ear on my first upside down flip, and I had a bit of trouble hearing for the next few hours. So while I crushed the wet exit, I really focused on the lesson to be sure I didn't go under again – and I did not.
Paul took me to a private lake for the course. I felt like a VIP to be on a solo instruction course on a private lake. I learned names for strokes, like stern draw and brace. I also learned how to carve. Carving is fun, it's like riding a berm on a mountain bike. It involves paddling while riding the edge of the kayak to make a big, sweeping turn.
River kayaks are tippy and hard to paddle straight. Paddling forward required short strokes close to the boat.
Paul said I was "experienced for L1," and at the end of the lesson he gave me a few advanced strokes, which I've already forgotten. Once again, I was impressed with the level of professionalism and expert instruction I received. Paul was fantastic. We met when RMOC took me duckying through Browns Canyon.
Paul told me he prefers teaching to all else. He explained everything perfectly. I felt safe and well-supported. I never felt rushed or dumb. Actually, he made me feel like a genius. I'm not sure I've ever been complimented so much. I like compliments.
While I have a lot of experience in kayaks, inflatable and flatwater, I had never put on a splash skirt or flipped upside down or been in a playboat. The hardshell kayaks I grew up with were designed for flatwater and were quite long.
The idea of this lesson is to introduce kayak skills; Level 2 courses take the kayaks on the Arkansas River. I feel prepared for that L2 course, but I'm not sure I enjoy being so confined in the kayak. Plus, I can't easily access beers with a splash skirt on. Priorities.

With only a few days before Election Day, and hundreds of thousands of dollars left in campaign war chests, voters are likely to see more television advertisements from Mayor Bill de Blasio, the Democratic incumbent, and his Republican challenger, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis.
Ms. Malliotakis released two new ads this week: one, "I Love New York City," released a day after a terrorist attack in Lower Manhattan, presented an upbeat vision of her candidacy; the other, released on Friday, contained a frontal attack on Mr. de Blasio and his record, and was called, "Can We Afford Four More Years of Mayor de Blasio?"
Spoiler: Her answer is no.
PRODUCER BrabenderCox
THE SCRIPT "Four years. That's all it took Bill de Blasio to wreck our quality of life. And now we're hurting. More homeless today than any time since the Great Depression. Shameful. Housing prices and property taxes so high, people struggling. Our subway system is a disaster: 70,000 delays every single month. And now de Blasio has been caught knee deep in a corruption scandal. Four more years of Bill de Blasio? No way."
ON SCREEN The first image is of a glittering Manhattan at night, superimposed with a scowling image of the mayor's face, as the script is read in a growl-like imitation of Don LaFontaine. A series of apparently homeless men and women appear next, including a young woman with a sign reading "Homeless Hungry Pregnant," while archival footage of men in Depression-era clothing appears superimposed.
Next, the camera flies over a community of single-family homes before focusing in on couples of different races who appear to be worrying over bills. After that, we see a couple of rats on the subway tracks and a woman who looks like a frustrated commuter. It ends with an image of City Hall followed by one of Downtown Manhattan, clouds gathering above and the same scowling mayor superimposed on top.
ACCURACY The ad argues, in broad strokes, that quality of life has worsened in several ways, first by correctly noting that homelessness has hit record levels during Mr. de Blasio's tenure. The Coalition for the Homeless, an advocacy group, has said the levels are the worst since the 1930s.
Mr. de Blasio would be the first person to acknowledge that people are struggling in New York City. But a mayor cannot stop housing prices from rising — nor, perhaps, would he want to. And those rising prices have caused an increase in the amount collected in property taxes under Mr. de Blasio, even though the mayor did not raise the overall rate during his tenure. This has been a frequent critique from Ms. Malliotakis, who pays more in property taxes relative to the value of her Staten Island home than Mr. de Blasio does on one of his brownstones in Park Slope.
Mr. de Blasio does not control the subway system; the state does. But many New Yorkers appeared to have realized far earlier than their mayor that the system had gotten worse and something needed to be done. Since the spring, Mr. de Blasio has been vocal on the issue.
The ad suggests that Mr. de Blasio was recently caught in a scandal. In fact, Mr. de Blasio's fund-raising practices were the source of state and federal inquiries that ended earlier this year without charges. Renewed scrutiny came recently during an ongoing federal corruption trial, in which a major donor who figured in those inquiries testified at length about his close dealings with Mr. de Blasio.

white fish
by Ikumi Yoshimura
A Review by Robert D. Wilson
white fish
hold a spirit of the heaven
like indigo blue
– Ikumi Yoshimura
Ikumi Yoshimura is one of Japan's finest female haiku poets, Her newest book, white fish, is a book I highly recommend to those seriously interested in quality modern Japanese haiku. It a seasonal book, with haiku written under the headings of Spring, Winter, Autumn, and Summer. A book that illustrates the importance of kigo in haiku.
Yoshimura has composed and translated haiku for decades and served as a poet, translator and researcher for books written by R.H. Blyth and James W. Hackett. She studied haiku under Japanese haiku master, Kaneko Tohta, and is the founder of the Writing English Haiku group, Evergreen.
The white fish, a small translucent, yet pretty fish with distinctive black eyes, that keeps its distance from human and non-human predators due to its smallness, represents to me something that's insignificant, taken for granted because of their multitude, size, and not a life form one thinks about too seriously.
Most Japanese view nature like many indigenous peoples in North America. To many, all life is sacred, each with its own spirit, purpose, and beauty, inside and out. In my interpretation, as I cannot pretend to know the poet's mind, she sees the white fish as a brother or sister. This is not just an insignificant fish in a world Yoshimura doesn't recognize, sees as a meal, or takes for granted. Like a human, it too possesses a spirit and is part of her deity's scheme of life now and for eternity.
This is a poem meant to be interpreted by an informed reader. It isn't just a description or a long sentence. It possesses yugen (depth and mystery), ma (dreaming room) at the end of line one; the unsaid throughout the poem. There is much occidental poets can learn from Yoshimura's haiku. She has something to say, does it with an economy of words, and allows the informed reader to interpret her poem with his or her cultural memory, education, experience, and mindset. It reminds me in a way of Matsuo Bashō's poem:
opening their black eyes
in the net of the law
Translated by Makoto Ueda
Bashō and His Interpretors
Comments Rohan (1867-1947, an eminent novelist and scholar who devoted much of his later life to studying the Bashō school of haikai) regarding Bashō's haiku:
"What the monk [thought to be a Chinese monk named Master Shrimp] caught in his nets were shrimps. But Bashō changed them to white fish, and therein lies his haikai art. He said, 'opening their black eyes' because black eyes are such a distinctive feature of a whitefish. The phrase has implications of Buddhist enlightenment?"
The same can be used to describe Yoshimura's use of the whitefish in her title haiku.
A few more examples of Yoshimura's haiku in white fish :
eyes of the potatoes
in the old basket
Do the eyes of a potato breathe? Why the use of a potato in Yoshimura's poem?
To most Japanese, all things are sacred, especially those that are alive. They're thought of as equals, and because of the culture's belief in reincarnation, they know they too could be reborn as a potato, an ant, or even a cactus, depending on their karma in a previous life. For most, the enlightenment Buddha discovered under the Bodhi tree is not something that takes a few days or a few years. It can take successive lifetimes.
To most, at least to the untrained eye, cherry petals look the same. And they are appreciated when the tree ages, the blossoms too, and the blossom's petals fall on the ground like snowfall.
cherry petal floated tea
both elderly sisters
wear matching shoes
But upon closer look, the individual petals are like fingerprints, they have their own uniqueness, their own beauty. In many waka and tanka, cherry petals on the ground, the sign of death, are revered for their beauty. Death is understood differently in Japan. People accept it and know that death is not the end of their life, but a continuation that will last until they reach the enlightenment Buddha found under the Bodhi tree in India.
Yoshimura's last two lines demonstrate excellent use of juxtaposition: two opposites combined to make a symbiotic message. The "elderly sisters" in the poem "wear matching shoes." Cherry petals resemble one another, like the two elderly women wearing "matching shoes." Much of what humankind encounters is taken for granted. It's only when we become aware of our surroundings that we can experience the beauty inherent in whatever we look at.
This is my individual interpretation of Yoshimura's poem about the two elderly sisters. I cannot assume to understand or fathom the poem as she did when writing it. Her job as the poet was to write the haiku and my job as a reader is to interpret it, thus ending the poem. And each reader's interpretation is dependent upon their own individual social memory, biospherical locale, experience, education, and genetic transference.
Stated Yoshimura in an interview I conducted with her for Simply Haiku in September 2003: "I am charmed by what is not described in haiku because it gives to readers the opportunity for various kinds of imagination. This is caused by its multitude of expression. Such elements have kept me writing haiku for years. When I find a wide and deep view of life in this shortest of poetry, I feel the happiest feeling. The charming point of haiku creation is found in capturing every sensibility of the moments of sympathy between human beings and nature."
Ikumi Yoshimura's new book, white fish, is an important book in that it exposes us to the Japanese female haiku mind, Japanese aesthetics, and from the perspective of a professor who has traveled the globe and teaches English Language. All of the haiku in her new book were first composed in English, then translated into Japanese. I highly recommend it.

Chicago-based singer Ravyn Lenae is back with a brand new EP just in time for your Valentine's Day feels. The rising R&B act, whose latest single "Sticky" recently notched one million Spotify streams, sat down with Fuse to discuss Crush, her close relationship with Noname, and touring with SZA.
Executive produced by Steve Lacy, Crush forced Lenae to co-write tracks for the first time in her life. Admitting that she's "super protective" of her music, the 19-year-old fully challenged herself by trusting the partnership process.
"Steve is a producer and a writer and a singer, so it was way more collaborative in that way," Lenae explains. "Just being able to trust him and knowing that our taste is very similar kind of put me in a different headspace when approaching music."
On linking up with SZA for the CTRL tour, Lenae treated the experience as both a learning opportunity and a stepping stone to future greatness.
"[SZA] being a singer really helped me investigate my performing abilities and things I may need to change. So seeing her show every night really kind of put me in the place of a student," she says, noting SZA's knack for delivering dynamic, vocally-strong performances.
Below, watch R&B-pop powerhouse Tinashe explain how she combined sparkles with grime to create a stunning, dramatic visual for "No Drama":

Happiness comes from within. Your mind determines whether you are happy or not. Teaching that is the lesson to us humans seems to be Cooper's mission for life.
Cooper is a 2 year old American foxhound born with a rare disorder – Short Spine Syndrome – a condition where the vertebrae are compressed and fused together. This disorder is considered to be caused by inbreeding.
To us common folks, it means three things:
- Cooper was destined to be not with us today – usually dogs with this syndrome are euthanized.
- He was born with a spine that was going to be extremely painful for all his life.
- When fully grown, Cooper was going to be half the size of a normal American foxhound.
"Full spine or not – Cooper is happy as a dog could ever be" said his parents Elly and Andy Keegan in Virginia where they live with Cooper. And when you think about it – he is teaching us all a lesson
It's his attitude towards life –
- his body is constantly in pain but he NEVER shows it outwardly,
- he does not let it affect him negatively and
- he behaves like a normal dog – he is here to make himself and everyone around him happy!
Thanks to Elly and Andy for keeping him around and doing everything they can to give him a normal life. And in return, they are thankful to Cooper for – he is now a key member of their family and helps them keep their spirits up.
With Cooper and 3 other pups, there is never a dull moment in the Keegan household.

Dog brightens the day for this special toddler–>
Cooper was 2 months old when he was found abandoned probably because of his spinal condition.
He was rescued by an animal control officer near a suspected puppy mill operation in Halifax, Virginia back in summer of 2017. At the time Cooper was infected by mites and worms an was suffering from hernia.
Luckily for him, Secondhand Hounds – a shelter in Minnetonka, Minnesota agreed to foster Cooper until they found a suitable home. They treated all his ailments while looking for a suitable home.
And sure enough it was not long, before Elly and Andy came across the ad for the dog and their kin heart melted away – they saw his loving demeanor and could not resist volunteering to open their house for Cooper.
They could not imagine how the greedy breeders could abandon such a fulloving dog for his health issues.
Cooper's spine is fused at his neck and the bottom that makes his daily life rather difficult. It throws a big monkey wrench in his daily routine. Can you imagine, even a simple thing like going to the bathroom is a painful experience for him.
Sheep shows gratitude to dog who saved her life–>
Landfill scavenger to Hollywood star story –>
You need to be very mindful of your position in relation to Cooper. You don't want to try to get his attention from behind him, poor Cooper can't turn his neck to look at you because of his fused neck – he needs to move his entire body in your direction. And that too is painful.
Poor Cooper – nothing in his life is painless – yet he is always happy!
Thankfully Elly with the help of a veterinarian was able to make his bowel movement life a little easier through a surgical procedure – now he can go on his own.
If all this was not enough Cooper had an accidental fall resulting in 5 fractures in his neck and developed osteomyelitis – a bone infection. Fortunately Cooper responded very well to the antibiotics and has recovered well.
How well ?
Well, well enough to keep after his three doggy siblings.
Great job Cooper. We wish you you a long life so you can impart that happy attitude on more of us so the world will be a better place than it was when you first arrived.

Interesting trends for online shopping – Exciting times ahead for shoppers!June 9, 2015 0 comments
2014 was a fruitful year when online sales leapfrogged; making offline retailers feel the heat of the rising competition and urging them to expand their empires to the online market space. The number of people shopping through smartphones is increasing and so is the number of price comparison sites. Read more to know some interesting trends in this arena
– Suresh Sharma, Founder and Director, iSpyPrice.com
Efficient customer service has become the top priority of online retailers, owing to the escalating tug-of-war between the e-tailers and retailers and also among the e-commerce firms themselves. It's crucial for online stores to distinguish themselves from other firms and establish their foothold in the market.
Increasing use of mobiles for shopping
Mobile Technology has made it essential for e-commerce firms to optimize themselves for the ease and convenience of the shopaholics. Now, more and more consumers are using mobiles for online shopping instead of laptops or desktops. As mobile technology has become more secure and reliable, it has enabled successful shopping experiences for consumers. This clearly specifies that the diversification to mobiles and smart phones is no longer going to be a mere option for e-tailers but a compelling necessity to survive in the fiercely-competitive market. Hence, the e-commerce companies are sure to upgrade and augment their operating systems in conjunction with the needs of their patrons.
Social Media as an effective marketing tool
Online Shopping is poised to get convenient like never before, owing to the escalating influence of social media. The social media platforms have become an effective marketing tool for the online as well as offline firms, making the purchase transactions easier for customers and benefitting e-tailers in pocketing more profits. Popular social networking site, Twitter has already started the trend with its 'Buy' button, to promote in-app purchases. The trend has come in action, and other social media sites are likely to follow suit.
Speedy Delivery as a differentiator
The concept of Express Delivery and delivery within hours has already gained momentum. If it continues successfully and at the same pace, more and more customers are likely to get attracted towards online shopping. When the concept of 'Online Shopping' was at a rudimentary stage and e-commerce firms were just developing, the inability to deliver fast was one of the major obstacles to attaining success in the industry. The scenario has undergone massive metamorphosis since then, owing to the rising competition and increasing awareness among customers. E-commerce giant Amazon.com, recently announced its plans to develop 'Delivery Drones' that will ensure swift and speedy delivery, by shortening the delivery time to around 30 minutes.
Increasing role of Price Comparison sites
Besides these, the Price Comparison sites will play a vital role in the year 2015. The elevated competition levels and the thinning line between the brick and click models will bring the Price comparison sites into limelight. Hence the sites are likely to receive enormous amount of traffic this year. Online firms are going to clamor for attention, often confusing buyers regarding what to buy and from where to buy. It is possible for e-tailers to take advantage of this confusion and bombard consumers with offers that imply discounts to cut the competition. In such a situation, it's always advised to compare the prices of products before taking the final purchase decision. This is where Price Comparison sites come to the fore. Providing hourly updates for products with fast-changing prices, these sites present buyers with the lowest prices available, enabling them to zero in on the product with the right price.
Effect of 4G rollout
A game-changing internet technology, 4G network is slowly becoming the 'Next Big Thing' that provides immediate access to everything from around the world at your fingertips. 4G rollout can influence the e-commerce industry in a significant manner. The fourth generation (4G) is an advanced version of 3G that facilitates its users with mobile broadband internet access. With its WiMAX LTE technology, 4G provides path-breaking speed and impeccable connectivity to its users. The technology provides wide area coverage and high speed to mobile as well as laptop users. Offering peak upload rate of 500 mbps and peak download rate of 1gbps, 4G supports HD streaming and 4G network ensures optimal use of HD phones.
4G provides constraint-free shopping experience
While 4G is taking the Indian market by storm, and the demand for smartphones is already on an upward swing, the 4G rollout is further influencing the sphere of e-commerce immensely. Online retail firms have to confront logistics as well as connectivity hindrances in order to serve their patrons efficiently. These issues can be solved with 4G internet services. By providing cutting-edge speed and connectivity, 4G is helping online firms to tackle their problems easily.
Escalated speed and enhanced connectivity provides users with a compelling and satisfactory browsing and shopping experience. Usually it is seen that potential buyers leave a particular site when they are just going to finalize their purchase. The reason can be – connectivity problem or slow internet. With 4G, customers can quickly make purchases without having to face any such hassles. This is thus, indirectly boosting the sales of e-commerce companies.
4G fosters instant purchase
With 4G for mobiles as well as laptops, e-commerce companies can be unperturbed about the size of images or videos. Even on smartphones, users can enjoy the same experience as on a laptop or PC, due to higher connectivity and speed offered by 4G. Another situation will justify the sturdy role that 4G is playing in the realm of e-commerce. Many a times, it happens that online shopping websites hang or the speed of internet dips while making payments or while checking out. This leads to reduction in the confidence level of customers, leaving them in a dilemma of whether to purchase online or not to take the chance. This can result in dwindling sales for e-commerce companies. With 4G at hand, buyers are able to make instant purchase decisions and check-out in a hassle-free way.
4G further paves the way for m-commerce
In order to gain maximum advantage of the fourth generation internet technology, the market is witnessing various e-commerce firms going the mobile-way. In short, for better results, e-commerce firms are turning to m-commerce. With 4G on mobile, people prefer to use their handheld devices to fulfill their day to day needs. Hence, e-commerce firms are coming up with ground-breaking designs and models to utilize the lucrative mobile space efficiently, making scores of firms turn to the m-commerce platform.
4G, the improved and enhanced version of 3G, is metamorphosing the entire domain of e-commerce, making transactions instant, thus delivering reliable and constraint-free experiences.
E-commerce firms are not going to leave any stone unturned to lure them and the players that will win the race are those that can offer steady innovation, tactical promotions and guarantee customer loyalty and retention in the long run.

Hypertension is the gradual development of disease of the arterial walls. This occurs most commonly in the vessels under stress, particularly the arteries of the heart muscle itself, the aorta, the vessels of the brain, and in the vessels of the retina, the sensitive organ at the back of the eye.
Atheroma and subsequent atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis) can develop. The vessel walls become hard and less elastic; fibrous tissue forms and calcification takes place. This is a serious situation, as has been pointed out previously. When this occurs, it opens the way for clot (thrombus) formation, and the complications arising from this. The most dangerous complication is the risk of cardiac infarct (heart attack) occurring in the heart area, or cerebral thrombus or hemorrhage in the brain. Either of these may develop suddenly, and endanger life, or at least, the general wellbeing of the patient. Brain catastrophes can bring sudden death. But they can also include severe paralyses (strokes) of all or part of the body. If they occur in a vessel leading to the eye, partial or complete blindness may follow.
The blood vessels of the kidneys are vulnerable to persistent changes in blood pressure. Renal pathology and ultimate renal disease can occur and may eventually cause death.
Often the blood vessels of the retina of the eye are involved. Examination of the retina can provide valuable information as to the severity and internal progression of hypertension.
"Silver wire" appearances, "A-V nipping" and "exudates" are common findings. The vessels tend to alter and have the appearance of fine silver wires. Where an artery crosses a vein, a narrowing or "nipping" occurs. Exudates are a more serious complication, and present a grave outlook if they are there in abundance.
The retina of the eye is the only place where blood vessels can be seen under direct vision. The doctor uses a special instrument called an ophthalmoscope.
With this device a light is focused through the lens of the eye onto the back portion of the eye, the retina. The doctor then peers through the lens system and can actually see the blood vessels coursing over the retina. This can be helpful in diagnosing blood-pressure disabilities. In some patients, the pressure develops at a rapid rate and increases to a serious degree, affecting various organs acutely.
The term malignant hypertension is given to this particular variety. There has always been considerable difference of opinion among medical practitioners as to what constitutes elevated blood pressure. The range may be considerable. However, it is now generally held that 140/90 represents the upper limits of normal. Some claim that 135/85 should be regarded as the upper levels of the normal range.
The diabetic is subject to a large number of complications, many of them uncomfortable, some crippling, some extremely serious and life-endangering – a diabetic coma, for instance, which needs immediate emergency treatment.
Infections are common, varying from local boils, to chest, bladder and lower-limb infections. The nerves and kidneys may be adversely affected, and the lenses and retina (light-sensitive part) of the eye affected. Diabetic must know the types of complications that are likely. In this way the patient can be on the lookout for them, thus taking a more intelligent interest in his or her overall general welfare.
Arterial Disease of Lower Limbs
The diabetic is much more liable to develop arterial disease, including disease of the vessels that go to the heart and brain. But the vessels that usually suffer most are those supplying blood to the lower limbs. Frequently these are severely affected with so-called atherosclerosis, which may gradually worsen until it develops into obliterative arterial disease.
This means that the blood supply may become extremely deficient. The pulse in the lower limbs becomes barely perceptible or totally disappears. The serious consequence is that infections may readily become firmly entrenched, for the supply of oxygen and food is deficient.
Even more seriously, gangrene can take place. Medication is often ineffective. Rarely will vessel grafting assist (for it is often in the lower vessels of the feet where the main problem lies). Surgical amputation is often the only form of relief, this being carried out earlier rather than later, so that the patient may become accustomed to wearing prosthesis (artificial limb).
Diabetic Coma
This is a serious medical emergency, and must have immediate expert attention to avert death. Most frequently it occurs in a diabetic who has some concurrent infection and has stopped taking insulin, probably because of a smaller food intake. This may be life endangering. Sometimes the patient may lapse into a coma as the first indication of this disorder, but this is unusual. In some cases the diabetic is foolish, failing to carry out the treatment properly. Such patients are a menace to themselves and their medical adviser and are asking for trouble.
Often a coma will come on as metabolism becomes increasingly disturbed, so called ketosis. This may rapidly slip into coma. It may occur slowly, the patient lapsing into unconsciousness. The skin and tongue are dry; pulse is reduced in force, blood pressure below normal, breath smelling of acetone, urine having marked amounts of sugar and ketone bodies in it. The blood sugar is usually over 400 mg per cent. In principle, it is the very opposite to the hypoglycemic bouts that too much insulin produces.
Diabetic coma is a major emergency that requires immediate hospitalization and expert handling. The doctor, aware of the diagnosis, may inject 100 units of soluble insulin before sending the patient to the emergency ward. Here, the patient will be under expert supervision until a satisfactory response is evident.

I could imagine some usefull functions 17:39:39 <Ryton> ok ty, I'll check those 3 out already :-)) 17:39:42 <V453000> well firstly because it is quite unreliable 17:40:06 <V453000> to make it work 100% proper you would have to make there either stopper logic to make sure trains do stop at some certain point 17:40:13 <V453000> or some other solution which would just make it large 17:40:16 *** Ryton has quit IRC 17:40:45 *** Ryton has joined #openttdcoop 17:40:46 <Ryton> misclick :-)) 17:41:12 <Ryton> well, large can be ok if effective imho :-) 17:41:20 <Ryton> look at current Sweets MSH ;-) :P 17:41:59 <Ryton> and that is "only" half a MSH, +BBH :-) 17:43:27 <V453000> yes but pre accelerated would be X times larger 17:43:33 <Ryton> I'll experiment a bit 17:43:55 <V453000> the worst thing is that to make it work properly you need quite a ridiculously high amount of logic 17:44:04 <V453000> I mean ... it is probably just a gate and a train but still 17:44:10 <Ryton> I was thinking of a SLH exit connecting to an almost full mainline 17:44:20 <Ryton> (with space) :-) 17:44:26 <V453000> yes 17:44:38 <V453000> that would probably be reasonable 17:44:50 <V453000> lately I like to make stuff on the downhill instead 17:45:01 <Ryton> yeah, that worked well a few games ago :-)) 17:45:22 <Ryton> e.g. with Fruit drop 17:46:06 *** fonsinchen has joined #openttdcoop 17:48:32 <Ryton> or food drop, idk anymore :s 18:00:25 <Ryton> wow, I like the delayer system from osai (PSG170) 18:01:26 <Ryton> & the way it is used at the other side of the map :D 18:03:56 <Mark> ready for a new map?

You can never have too many projects on the go :)
A short more physical interlude cutting of the piece of 50mm dia. cast iron for the cylinder and head. It's at times like this I get out the catalogues and look for small bandsaws and power hacksaws although I don't really have space for one.Hi Roger, nice progress. My little band saw found its place under the table. I have to go on my knees to cut something, but I enjoy it.
Holding the complete cylinder at 45° and 60° for milling the ports is the next challenge.
Catching up here Roger.
You say the parting op was tense? Downright scary to me.
:ThumbsUp: and :popcorn:
There is an advantage in having low powered belt driven machines, if I am not too comfortable I leave the drive belt slack so if anything goes wrong I get a smell of burning rubber rather than shrapnel everywhere :)
(if it ever runs ::) )
I'm getting there if somewhat slowly ::)
...All done with CNC (count number of cranks).
The 0.35mm nozzle hole in the injector is enough to destroy the compression at hand turning speed and whistles quite well. With the needle in the injector I can't turn it over compression by gripping the flywheel :)
I drive a Yamaha RD myself

Vampire 8.0, [RV02,Vor05] is an automatic theorem prover for first-order classical logic. It consists of a shell and a kernel. The kernel implements the calculi of ordered binary resolution and superposition for handling equality. The splitting rule and negative equality splitting are simulated by the introduction of new predicate definitions and dynamic folding of such definitions. A number of standard redundancy criteria and simplification techniques are used for pruning the search space: subsumption, tautology deletion (optionally modulo commutativity), subsumption resolution, rewriting by ordered unit equalities, and a lightweight basicness. The CASC version uses the Knuth-Bendix ordering. The lexicographic path ordering has been implemented recently but will not be used for this CASC. A number of efficient indexing techniques are used to implement all major operations on sets of terms and clauses. Run-time algorithm specialisation is used to accelerate some costly operations, e.g., checks of ordering constraints. Although the kernel of the system works only with clausal normal forms, the shell accepts a problem in the full first-order logic syntax, clausifies it and performs a number of useful transformations before passing the result to the kernel. When a theorem is proved, the system produces a verifiable proof, which validates both the clausification phase and the refutation of the CNF.
