Of the countries that are actively developing artificial intelligence, Canadian AI may not be the first that comes to mind, but Canada has its advantages.
Canada has long been a technology leader. Even with a population of just 35 million people, the Canadian technology industry has grown to become one-third the size of California's. Major high-tech companies have used Canadian AI innovations, such as Facebook for facial recognition and Google for photos.
In the future, Canadian AI might be responsible for fueling the Canadian robotics industry as a whole, since it has been slowing down.
In 2014, robot sales in Canada increased 4 percent or 2,300 units, but this is lower than sales in 2005 and 2007 of 3,000 units each.
In 2012, Canada purchased 1,749 industrial robots, compared with the 22,414 purchased in the U.S. and the 2,106 purchased by Mexico. In the same year, robot density in Canada was at 103, making Canada the 14th in the world when it comes to robot density.
As the push to develop artificial intelligence and related applications intensifies, it could help Canada remain a robotics leader. It is one of the few new and emerging AI powers that remains largely untapped by the global community (with the exception of the U.S.). Is this an opportunity for you?
Canadian AI's origins
Some of the first seeds of Canadian AI leadership were planted 12 years ago. Fifteen people met in a Vancouver hotel in 2004, recalled The Financial Post. This group, made up of computer scientists, professors, and more eventually received $10 million from the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) to research "artificial neural networks" over 10 years.
Since then, Canadian AI has emerged in different forms — most of it led by academia and the private sector. All of these developments revolve around a central idea: "How can AI solve existing problems?"
Late last year, a group of students at the University of Toronto (UoT) developed Ross, an AI service for the legal industry. Instead of going through stacks of papers, attorneys can ask Ross questions and receive answers on their desktops.
In July , a Toronto-based retirement home tested a robot called Ludwig from UoT. Ludwig is intended to help identify and track memory-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia. It pays attention to health signs like changes in speech.
Private agents use Canadian AI
The private sector is also taking steps to fuel artificial intelligence in Canada.
In the province of British Columbia, Purple Forge Corp. is working with IBM Watson to create AI research assistants to answer residents' questions about municipal services.
In May, Purple Forge tested its service in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver. The company has also partnered with telecommunications provider Telus to bring Purple Forge to Western Canada.
Another AI offering comes from Responsive Wealth Management, also in British Columbia. It launched an advisory service across Canada that compiles data on factors including macroeconomic conditions and provides suggestions on how to adjust a client's portfolio.
Manulife, a Canada-based multinational specializing in insurance and financial products, signed a deal with Nervana Systems to develop an "artificial intelligence and deep learning" tool to compile and distill huge amounts of financial data to help with investment planning.
As a sign of the recognition of AI's increasing importance, Intel Corp. acquired Nervana in August for $350 million to $400 million, according to reports.

Taking the next step toward commercial AI
Canadian AI is growing with help from academia and the private sector. With applications in healthcare, municipal services, and finance, there should be little doubt about the capabilities and potential of artificial intelligence in the world's second largest country.
But there is one missing piece. If many Canadian AI advances are taking place in universities or academic incubation hubs such as Ryerson University's DMZ, how will these innovations leave the drawing board and reach the market?
Universities can only support so many researchers and projects as once, so a huge number of ideas might never see the light of day. Is this an opportunity for robotics companies or venture capital firms to begin scouting campuses across Canada?
There's also uncertainty as to whether the Canadian AI market will follow the country's industrial automation sector. Will it slow down? And if so, why?
One way it can keep growing is by finding a niche. For example, how can Canadian AI be harnessed for natural resources, agriculture, or space applications — staples of the nation's economy?
Canada faces big technical, economic, and competitive challenges if it wants to become a global AI leader. There is also the question of what role the government is playing. We'll explore all of this and more in my next article.

Michigan restricted Flint from switching water in loan deal
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The state of Michigan restricted Flint from switching water sources last April unless it got approval from Gov. Rick Snyder's administration under the terms of a $7 million loan needed to help the city emerge from state management, according to a document released Wednesday.
By the time the loan agreement was in place, complaints about Flint's water quality were growing louder, but officials had not yet discovered that improperly treated Flint River water had caused lead to leach from aging pipes.
At the time, Flint's state-appointed emergency manager said that switching back to Detroit-supplied water would cost the city more than $1 million a month and that the Detroit water was "no safer than Flint water."

Rick Snyder's administration under the terms of a $7 million loan needed to help transition the city from state management, according to a document released Wednesday, March 2, 2016.

Snyder eventually agreed about six months later to help Flint reconnect to a Detroit-area system after doctors found high levels of lead in Flint children.
But critics in the Michigan Democratic Party said that the loan document, obtained by the party through a public-records request, shows that his administration tied Flint's hands and prevented earlier action. A top Democrat became the first state lawmaker to call for Snyder to resign.
"The Snyder administration effectively put a financial gun to the heads of Flint's families by using the emergency manager law to lock the city into taking water from a poisoned source," party Chairman Brandon Dillon said.
House Minority Leader Tim Greimel later added: "Given the actions of negligence and indifference by the governor, and a culture he has created that lacks transparency and accountability, the very serious call for resignation is warranted."
Snyder spokesman Ari Adler said the governor is "fully committed to remaining in office and fixing the problems with the water in Flint and the problems within state government that caused this crisis in the first place." He also criticized Greimel for holding a "politically charged" news conference instead of attending a legislative briefing on Flint with the governor's office.
Snyder has refused to step down after calls to do so from protesters, liberal groups and presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The loan deal said Flint could not enter an agreement with its former water supplier without approval from the state treasurer. It also prohibited the city from reducing water and sewer rates unless authorized by the state.
In March 2015, the Flint City Council, which was powerless at the time because of the state management, voted to "do all things necessary" to stop using the Flint River and reconnect to Lake Huron water. But state-appointed emergency manager Jerry Ambrose, who sought the loan from the state, said no, calling it "incomprehensible."
Provisions in such a loan agreement are "included to ensure that a local unit of government remains on solid financial footing and does not slip back into financial emergency," said state Treasurer Nick Khouri, who took the job just days before signing the loan deal. The Democratic Party also called for his resignation or firing Wednesday.
"At no time did the loan agreement with Flint prohibit the city from returning to the Detroit water system. It required the city only to notify, and receive state approval, before making such a decision," he said in a statement.
A month before the loan, a state official notified Snyder's aides of a surge in Legionnaires' disease potentially linked to Flint's water. That was long before the governor, who said he was not made aware of the deadly outbreak, reported the increase to the public. The official also briefly mentioned Legionnaires in a January 2015 email to one of Snyder's aides, according to recently released emails.
Those emails, released by Snyder's office last month, showed he was made aware of Flint's water troubles, including E. coli detections, resident complaints about color and odor and high levels of a disinfectant byproduct. A General Motors plant stopped using the water because it was rusting engine parts.
The governor has said he did not clearly know the full extent of the water's danger until around Oct. 1, when state health officials confirmed elevated blood-lead levels in children.
"We didn't connect all the dots that I wish we would have," Snyder said last week, adding that when his aides checked with environmental and health experts in state agencies about concerns, they continually reaffirmed "there was no problem." Some state environmental regulators have since lost their jobs.

facebook free.
i have a confession to make.
truth is, i used to be a facebook addict.
but almost two months ago, i deleted my account. and i haven't looked back.
as much as i like social media at times, for the most part, i have a problem with it. a big problem.
for a long time, facebook has been a time-waster for me. and recently, i realized that facebook is a lot of bragging and complaining. people either do one or the other--myself included. i kept asking myself, why am i posting this status? this album? who really needs to know what i'm doing, where i am, and why do i want everyone to care so much?
i think it stems from the narcissism of social media. don't get me wrong: i love this blogging community. i love keeping a record of my memories and dreams, making friends with people all over the world. and granted, other forms--like twitter, instagram--are also self-focused; but i find that my blog is more of a personal outlet. for some reason, it was facebook that really got me.
why is it that we feel such a need to post every little piece of our lives on the internet? who are we trying to impress, get the attention of? why do we spend countless hours comparing our lives to others' or competing over the web for popularity? why do we always need to be connected to social media and technology?
so i got rid of it.
i've noticed too that in public, when people are waiting for class to start or a line to move or their friend to come back to the table (or anything really), they pull out their phones. scan instagram or facebook or twitter. we zone out of reality and transport to this virtual world. we're missing out on the present moments because of this strange desire for instant gratification and connection.
why can't we be content with our own thoughts? why do we constantly distract ourselves from the world around us? sometimes i feel like we're losing our ability for face-to-face interaction. people like statuses on facebook and call it friendship but can't converse with someone in person? why are we so afraid of being alone in line? in the grocery store? at a restaurant by ourselves? why do we need to know what everyone else is doing all the time, and share what we're doing all the time?
they say the italians are masters at the art of doing nothing. but it seems americans have a problem with being content. we don't know how to just relax; we are constantly bombarded with technology.
maybe if we all stepped back from our facebook accounts and phone apps and tweets, we could find that community we desire. maybe we wouldn't miss out on all the little moments in the day; like the beauty of new spring flowers or birds chirping in the early morning light or even the hush that begins to descend on the world as evening approaches. times we could spend in solitude with God, or in reality with friends--truly focused on developing relationships, really being in the present.
maybe we could start collecting memories and experiences for the happiness of ourselves rather than the approval of others.
i've been facebook free for almost two months now, and it feels great. i don't come back to my room after class and have the urge to check in on what everyone is doing, and i have so much more time to focus on my work and my writing. i'm learning how to relax, how to find satisfaction in the world around me, even when i'm alone. i'm learning to be content with myself.
and it feels really, really good.
what about you, friends? what do you think about social media?

Episode Two: Listen to Reagan
economics | general election 2015
Most of the time, the question that decides an election is the one everyone remembers being put by Ronald Reagan: 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?' It's a good question, but at the moment in the UK it's also a difficult one to answer. Yesterday, George Osborne triumphantly tweeted about the latest numbers. 'GDP revised upwards from 2.6% to 2.8% for 2014,' he said, and also: 'Real household disposable income per capita up strongly on quarter & year… Living standards higher than in May 2010.' That might sound like a clear answer to Reagan's question. But the numbers are squidgier than they look at first sight.
Larry Elliott points out in the Guardian that GDP per capita is more than 1 per cent below where it was at the start of the recession. Also, some of that GDP flows abroad, thanks to overseas ownership of British companies, just as some overseas income flows into the UK thanks to British ownership of foreign companies. This is part of the overall current account, which you hardly ever hear spoken about in the media mainly because by the time you've finished explaining it there's no room left to say anything else.
The current account shows whether, and how much, a country is either borrowing from or lending to the rest of the world. It consists of three things: the balance of trade between imports and exports, plus net transfers such as remittances overseas, plus net investment income. The UK's current account is the worst it has ever been since modern records began in 1948: a deficit of 5.5 per cent. That means that a lot of GDP is heading somewhere else, which in turn means that numbers measuring individual well-offness give a different picture from those measuring national GDP. National Net Disposable Income, NNDI, measures the amount of income available to individuals, and gives a gloomier picture than GDP per capita: it's been flat for a while and is still 5 per cent below its pre-recession high. And then as Larry Elliott explains:
Just to complicate matters, the ONS has a third measure of living standards, real household disposable income (RHDI) per head, which takes into account changes in mortgage rates, taxes and benefits. RHDI per capita actually rose strongly during the recession, because interest rates were slashed to 0.5%, the amount paid in taxes fell, and benefits increased.
But by 2011 the impact of these factors had worn off and real incomes were eroded by inflation. After bouncing around, RHDI is just about back to where it was when the coalition came to power in 2010, and is 2.2% above where it was when the recession began.
That point about inflation rates is important. Anyone with a variable rate mortgage (two-thirds of all mortgage borrowers) has done well from years of crazy-low interest rates; add to that the fact that house prices have shot up in and around London, and there are a lot of winners from the Coalition's policies. Also, while median wages overall haven't kept pace with inflation, median wages for employees who have been in work for more than a year – i.e. most of the workforce – have not just matched inflation but exceeded it.
Put it all together, and the statistics give no clear answer to Reagan's question. Maybe it's time to think about the less famous, but equally pertinent, other things he went on to say:
It might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? And if you answer all of those questions yes, why then, I think your choice is very obvious as to whom you will vote for. If you don't agree, if you don't think that this course that we've been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have.

Edinburgh Today
An Eco-Village?
Lottery Funding
Portobello community group, PEDAL (Portobello Energy Descent & Land
Reform) has bid for £50m from the Lottery's Peoples' Millions fund
in order to create Scotland's first 'eco-village'.
Proposals include:
- car free housing promoting green
sustainable living.
- allotments and community smallholdings.
- an exhibition centre, based on the
Eden Centre in Cornwall.
The plan
is to create the village on the site of the former Scottish Power HQ.
It was previously proposed to build a supermarket on this site, but these
plans were rejected in 2005, following a public inquiry.
If the
Portobello Eco-village is shortlisted, the project could be featured on
ITV then put to a public vote before it is given any cash is granted.

It may seem weird that at this cooler time of year I am wearing a summer dress with sandals! However, last weekend we had such beautiful weather I just had to wear my new Tularosa dress paired with my new bag that was gifted to me by my sister and dad on their travels.
I chose this dress with my trip to Rarotonga in mind as I have been slowly collecting some really cute summer pieces that I can wear over there. This plan may not be entirely practical for the upcoming winter in New Zealand- but at least I'll look cute while on holiday right….?
About the fit:
Size ordered: M True to Size: Yes
I really love floaty dresses like this because naturally the size is very lenient, making ordering online that much simpler. When you are purchasing online with this dress you don't have to stress too much about the fit because it sits so loosely anyway. I also tend to order a size up and then if I need too- I can easily take it in (I hate returning things when I purchase online- it makes the process way too long!)

"Sacred Scripture, since it has no science above itself, can dispute with one who denies its principles only if the opponent admits some at least of the truths obtained through divine revelation; thus we can argue with heretics from texts in Holy Writ, and against those who deny one article of faith, we can argue from another. If our opponent believes nothing of divine revelation, there is no longer any means of proving the articles of faith by reasoning, but only of answering his objections---if he has any---against faith. Since faith rests upon infallible truth, and since the contrary of a truth can never be demonstrated, it is clear that the arguments brought against faith cannot be demonstrations, but are difficulties that can be answered."
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, The Nature and Extent of Sacred Doctrine, Q. Whether Sacred Doctrine is a Matter of Argument?
Aquinas makes several important points here, but there are two I wish to underline presently:
1) Note that Aquinas states that there is no 'science', i.e. knowledge, above scripture, and therefore scripture 'can dispute with' heretics, provided they acknowledge at least some of the truths taught in it; presumably he means here that they accept scripture's authority, among other matters. This is very close to the Reformation understanding of scripture as the iudex controversiarum, the judge in doctrinal controversies in the church.
2) Note that Aquinas makes the statement, in his final sentence on the need to answer challenges from unbelievers, that 'faith rests upon infallible truth'. For Aquinas, then, an article of faith can only be established on the basis of an infallible authority, and yet, as we have already noted in the previous post, for Aquinas -- following Augustine -- the only infallible authority is scripture; therefore, we conclude, Aquinas teaches that articles of faith can be established only on the basis of scripture.

Grantham Journal letter: 'In the hands of clueless voters'
With the future of Britain coming up with the EU referendum, just how many people you talk to know what it's all about or can be bothered to find out?
Most people are saying I haven't got a clue what we are supposed to do, and the information leaflets arriving through letter boxes are just being treated as junk mail and chucked out without even a glance.
When you try to tell them it's all about their future all you get is I don't understand it. A Sunday paper recently did a survey and found that a number of students didn't even know when the referendum was or that this is the future government of this country. God help us.
No one seems to understand the full implications of it all. Most are just guessing the future, but you could look at the past when Britain joined what was then the common market but has progressed, without the public's say, to be controlled from Brussels. Now do you believe this is a good thing for you or do we want to control things ourselves? We should sit down and try to sort out what is bluster and what might be true. I look at it like setting yourself up in business. You are not sure you are doing the right thing but if you don't do it how are you going to improve yourself?
I want my children to have some control of their lives, not some faceless unelected bureaucrat. So if you can't be bothered to do your homework, don't complain in a year or so's time this is not what I wanted.

Did you enjoy pt England's fiafia performance. Last week on Thursday
We had a big performance. I felt very excited and nervous at the same time.
Fiafia performance was last week on Thursday there was thousands and thousands of people. I felt very excited and nervous at the sametime.
On fiafia there were heaps of people and supporters cheering. It was last week on Thursday. Where we were was outside on the grass where we all sit and watch. For fiafia we had to stay in our groups.
On fiafia we had to sit down watch other kids perform on stage. Fiafia
was last week on Thursday we were also outside on the field where we all perform. We had to stay in our fiafia groups with our teachers.
My group was Togan I chose togan because I wanted to see what it feel's like to be in the tongan group. It took 5 to 6 weeks to practice.
The group that i liked was nesian fusion group was doing the fire dance and sometimes we had problems because kids kept standing up and we couldn't see.
Fiafia was a really great experience for me and the favorite thing that i liked was when we watched everybody dance on stage and people was supporting.

FairPoint Jeffersonville - Complete
In 2010, the legislature established the Backroads Broadband program to support expansion of broadband service in unserved parts of the state not projected to be covered by the regulatory agreement between the State of Vermont and FairPoint or last-mile broadband projects funded by the Rural Utilities Service, primarily the VTel WOW! project. The VTA Board approved a funding decision on March 15, 2011 supporting awards to FairPoint and to VTel Wireless.
In July 2011, FairPoint and the VTA signed a contract regarding the activities, deadlines and outcomes of the $779,000 grant that was awarded to the telco in March, 2011.
Project planning and engineering were completed on time. As of January 2012, the project is in pre-construction with service to be offered as of October 31, 2012. Construction of 19.8 miles of fiber optic cable and four remote terminals is set to begin in March. Some locations outside the area will also receive service from this project.
The contract includes a total of 647 locations in the Jeffersonville Target Community that will receive access to Carrier Ethernet Services which deliver a minimum combined upload/ download speed of 5 Mbps. Service will be provisioned to all addresses within the target area that do not already have access to high speed services from FairPoint.
In addition to other tiered services, new service will offer residential and business plans which provide up to 15Mbps download speed and 1 Mbps upload.

PhD Studentship: Drivers of Ocean Movement Patterns in Round Island Petrels (GILLJ_U18BOU) University of East Anglia - School of Biological Sciences Qualification type: PhD Location: Norwich Funding for: UK Students Funding amount: £14,990 annual stipend Hours: Full Time Placed on: 22nd November 2017 Closes: 15th February 2018 Reference: (GILLJ_U18BOU)
Supervisor: Primary supervisor: Jennifer Gill. Secondary supervisor: Dr Simon Butler
Start Date: October 2018
Project description: Seabirds undertake incredible journeys across the ocean, and our understanding of their movements is being transformed by advances in technology. For some populations, sufficient individual have been tracked to allow us to explore the ecological processes involved in these large-scale movements, and the consequences for impacts of human activities such as fishing, pollution and climate change that are transforming the marine environment.
Round Island petrels have been the subject of a study by the Zoological Society of London in collaboration with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and National Parks and Conservation Service (Government of Mauritius) since 2009. These petrels breed at a single colony (Round Island), 23 km off Mauritius, and ZSL studies have shown that this is a three-way hybrid complex consisting of one species from the Atlantic (P. arminjoniana) and at least two from the Pacific (P. heraldica & P. neglecta).
The migratory routes of over 200 individual Round Island petrels have been tracked with geolocators, and this BOU-funded studentship, supervised by researchers at UEA and ZSL, will use these data to explore the factors influencing the extraordinary levels of individual variation in ocean movements of these birds and the implications for the demography and conservation of the species.
Person specification: BSc in Ecological, Biological or Environmental Sciences. The standard minimum entry requirement is 2:1
Funding notes: This PhD studentship is funded by The British Ornithologists' Union. Funding is available to UK applicants only, and comprises home tuition fees and project costs for 3 years, and an annual stipend (starting at £14,990 in Year 1) for 3.5 years (42 months).

And although fezzes and tiny automobile parades are virtually something of the prior, the Gnostic ideals of Masonic orders are actually loads part of the yankee brain that the encircling pomp and situation has turn into faintly unnecessary.
The authors of Ritual America contextualize hundreds of thousands of infrequent and lots of never-before published photographs with enjoyable and far-reaching observation, making an esoteric topic provocative, fascinating, and approachable.

The outdated asserting does frequently appear to carry actual: the wealthy get richer whereas the bad get poorer, making a widening hole among those that have extra and people who have much less. The sociologist Robert okay. Merton known as this phenomenon the Matthew influence, named after a passage within the gospel of Matthew. but the extra heavily we study the sociological results of this precept, the extra advanced the assumption turns into. preliminary virtue does not continually bring about extra virtue, and drawback does not inevitably translate into failure. Does this idea have to be revisited?
Merton's arguments have major implications for our conceptions of equality and justice, they usually problem our ideals approximately tradition, schooling, and public coverage. His speculation has been tested throughout a number of social arenas, together with technological know-how, know-how, politics, and education, to determine if, in reality, virtue begets additional virtue. Daniel Rigney is the 1st to guage Merton's conception of cumulative virtue widely, contemplating either the stipulations that uphold the Matthew impact and the conditions that reason it to fail. He explores even if transforming into inequality is past human keep watch over or disparity is socially developed and topic to alter. Reexamining our center assumptions approximately society, Rigney reasons us to reconsider the assets of inequity.

By Gad Saad
During this hugely informative and wonderful ebook, the founding father of the colourful new box of evolutionary intake illuminates the relevance of our organic background to our day-by-day lives as shoppers. whereas tradition is critical, the writer indicates that innate evolutionary forces deeply impact the meals we devour, the presents we provide, the cosmetics and garments kinds we decide to make ourselves extra beautiful to strength friends, or even the cultural items that stimulate our imaginations (such as paintings, tune, and religion).
The ebook demonstrates that almost all acts of intake might be mapped onto 4 key Darwinian drives—namely, survival (we desire meals excessive in calories); copy (we use items as sexual signals); relations choice (we certainly trade presents with kin members); and reciprocal altruism (we get pleasure from delivering presents to shut friends). the writer additional highlights the analogous behaviors that exist among human shoppers and quite a lot of animals.
For a person drawn to the organic foundation of human habit or just in what makes shoppers tick—marketing execs, advertisers, psychology professionals, and shoppers themselves—this is an interesting learn.

During this very good, breathtaking booklet through Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo, a bewildering age of worldwide switch and inequality is made human in the course of the dramatic tale of households striving towards a greater existence in Annawadi, a makeshift payment within the shadow of luxurious lodges close to the Mumbai airport. As India begins to prosper, the citizens of Annawadi are electrical with desire. Abdul, an enterprising teen, sees "a fortune past counting" within the recyclable rubbish that richer humans throw away. in the meantime Asha, a lady of ambitious ambition, has pointed out a shadier path to the center category. With a bit success, her attractive daughter, Annawadi's "most-everything girl," may perhaps develop into its first woman university graduate. or even the poorest youngsters, just like the younger thief Kalu, suppose themselves inching towards their goals. yet then Abdul is falsely accused in a stunning tragedy; terror and worldwide recession rock the town; and suppressed tensions over faith, caste, intercourse, energy, and financial envy flip brutal. With intelligence, humor, and deep perception into what connects humans to each other in an period of tumultuous switch, Behind the gorgeous Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of many twenty-first century's hidden worlds—and into the hearts of households very unlikely to overlook.

Welcome to the second week of my new series where I share with you all the ways I have made money on the side and brought in little treats for my family. Last week was a little slow on the earnings front but really busy for finding opportunities for the blog. I think that's what I love most about what I do, every week is different and you never know what it will bring.
Some important things to note before I begin.
All earnings from income streams including blogging, surveys, focus groups etc must be declared for tax purposes. I recommend using a spreadsheet to keep track it makes completing your tax return a lot easier.
In the UK prizes are not taxable.
For freebies I will try to include links where I can, lots are time sensitive offers so may have expired by the time I post.
£16 cashed out from Pinecone Research.
£2 Populus survey (so close to cashing out point).
£1.60 Prolific Academic.*
Chris sold something using the Schpock app and made £75.
Earnings have been a little on the low side this week but that's okay. I started documenting half way through the month so my total for the whole month is around £300 which I'm pleased with.
The prize I won from Astonish on Instagram last week arrived. They sent a big box of their cleaning products which makes a clean freak like me very happy indeed.
I got a winning email to say I've won a Transformers Combiner Force* toy, this will be going away for Christmas for Jake.
Another email arrived from Ambrosia to say I had won a mug in their monthly giveaway. This one doesn't end until December so well worth having a go if you haven't already. There are some great prizes still to be won.
I was in the right place at the right time on Thursday. I spotted these absolute bargains in the co-op reduced to 92 pence each. They went straight in the freezer and will be great as a quick tea with salad and rice.
Blog Reviews
Some great products arrived for me to review this week, a lot of them include a giveaway for my lovely readers too.
JD Williams sent me a gorgeous maxi-dress, some sandals and a pair of TOMS as I'm working with them on an upcoming review. I chose a dress that pushes me way out of my comfort zone which is something I'm trying to do a lot more of this year. Look out for a review coming soon.
I have a full set of these UltraDex products to giveaway. Keep an eye on the blog next week if you would like to enter.
A lovely box of these Piccolo Organic pouches arrived for Daisy and Jake to try. I have a review coming soon and you could win a month's supply for yourself too.
What2buy4kids sent us these fantastic chocolate kits. We used the Bumblebee Lollipops in our How To Make Baking And Cooking Fun For Kids post.
I have a few more review items on the way and some more fantastic giveaways coming up. September looks to be a busy time for the blog which is fantastic.
I will be back next Monday to share with you again. If you have any questions or need any help with anything then please do get in touch.
If you have enjoyed this weeks post then make sure you check out last weeks Money On The Side post too.

I've had the good fortune of working with some incredible couples over the past few months while teaching relationship improvement courses as a part of my senior capstone. As teaching goes, you come out having learned or remembered lots and lots of things, maybe more than you taught. I adore the new perspectives and opinions that every student in these classes has to offer.
So, today I wanted to share a few things that have benefited my own marriage and the relationships of the awesome couples I've been in cahoots with during these classes. What would be on your list of lessons you've learned to keep your relationships in tip-top shape?
1. Learn to Regulate Yourself
Instead of focusing on how you can change the habits and attributes of your partner, self-regulation involves paying attention to your own behavior. What can you personally work on to improve the relationship? Often, a change in your own actions initiates a change in your loved one and the relationship you share.
2. Understand How the Outside World Affects You
Many people tend to blame either themselves or their significant others when experiencing life's rough patches. However, recognizing how the outside world affects your relationship can change your perspective. Life events happen without our consent on a daily basis. Realize that a bad day at work, a disagreement with a family member, or a horrible commute can easily transfer over to your relationship. The solution? Share with your partner. Not only will sharing the event relieve stress, but it will also allow he or she to understand your behavior.
3. The Past is Part of the Present
My childhood home epitomized frugality. Shopping revolved around sales, coupons, and price-matching. On the other hand, my husband grew up knowing he was allowed to put anything in the shopping cart with the contingency that he would help his mother carry in the groceries from the car. Long story short: when we got married, we had to hammer out how shopping would work for our family.
Understand how your partner's past influences how they act. What was his or her parents' relationship like? How did finances work in the home? What value was placed on education, work ethic, or family vacations?
4. Appropriately Use Social Media
Ah, social media. It can create a community of strong support and love to bolster your relationship. But, used incorrectly, it can transform into a world of bad advice, tension, or secrecy. Have an open discussion with your partner about social media use if a problem may exist.
5. Resolve Conflict in a Healthy Way
There are entire volumes dedicated to resolving conflict in a healthy, constructive manner. Here is a summary of my advice: raised voices, name-calling, and placing blame are all counter-productive. Be calm. Be willing to compromise. Turn off the cell phones and the televisions and schedule specific time in your calendar to discuss issues. When things get heated, take a time out and revisit the problem later (the recommended time is under 24 hours!).
6. Forgive
Relationships depend on forgiveness. People make mistakes--dozens of them--every single day that need to be forgiven. Learning to forgive allows you to replace hurt feelings with altruism. Don't waste your energy on being offended, angry, or vengeful. Instead, use that powerful energy to improve your ability to efficiently problem-solve as a team.
7. Work Hard. Then Work Harder.
The average relationship decreases in satisfaction overtime as couples settle into daily routines. Work is essential.Take an interest in each other's activities, actively listen to your partner, and make the effort to continually learn about one another. Grow together.
8. Lower Your Expectations
It would be ridiculous to say to expect nothing of your partner. However, make sure your expectations are realistic and obtainable for your current life situation. If you have too high of a standard, your partner will always fall short.

Leaving the unimpressive edifice which is Hornsey station, our first clock is spotted on St Mary's Tower.
I often seen this church tower as it is clearly visible from the East Coast Main Line, and I have always assumed that it was clock-less. But this cunning church has arranged it so that the dials are only on the sides which face away from the railway (obviously assuming that the trains would always be running to time).
This is the west facing dial:
And here's the east facing one:
The tower is all that remains of the building that originates from the1500's. A new church, ironically now demolished, was built in 1868.
Another church now - this time Holy Innocents on the corner of Tottenham Lane and Rokesley Avenue.
The white line, by the way, is not some laser defence system installed in the tower nor the ingress of a divine presence, but merely an aircraft contrail.
Holy Innocents was built in 1876-77.
The main purpose behind this trip was to see the Crouch End clock tower. So here it is.
The tower was built in 1895, and is dedicated to Henry Reader Williams, a local politician and benefactor.
The tower has several interesting features, including some nice old road signs:
.....a bust of HR Williams
(by Alfred Gilbert, whose most famous work is 'Eros' in Piccadilly Circus)
....a weather vane:
.....and a drinking fountain:
This estate agents is on the corner of Stroud Green Road and Tollington Park.
And finally to the small bus station by Finsbury Park station:

Posting my favorites a day early – at least. Try to stay offline this Friday and get some work done around the house. Physical work. I mean, the real deal. Hammer and nail, paint and brush and all…
As always, I am very interested in your favorite DevOps link(s) of this week. Please share them in the comments. I'll read them all and will give you my biasedopinion. Links are not in a particular order nor do they express a certain preference.
I show you mine, you show me yours.
- How Successful People Stay Calm
You know how it is, sometimes emotions take over, voices are raised and sometimes chairs are thrown (allegedly). Folks from the University of California found out that medium level of stress might be good for you but at the same time it is important to keep stress levels under control. Tell me about it.
- Put Yourself in Your Colleague's Shoes
Same vain as above. In hindsight it looks like I had a lot of stress earlier in the week.
From the article: "How many conflicts at work result from simply being unable to see the issue from your counterpart's perspective?"
- Build a DevOps culture: Because you're better together
This post is an announcement for an online event hosted by the cool folks from The Register. The event is held on November 7th, 11am GMT.
The Register is "grilling IBM's Ashok Reddy with questions: "Everyone's talking about DevOps, but not everyone can do it. Rapid prototyping that incorporates feedback gets great results when you do it well, but that's easier said than done. What's the balance between innovation and optimisation? How do you keep control of the process? How do you ensure it creates better results, not just more work?"
- Feedback fuels Azure Plugin tool updates for Jenkins Developers
New update to above mentioned plugin. With this latest update, the MS OpenTech team included a new feature to our storage plugin that provides a way to access Jenkins deployment artifacts in Azure Storage anonymously yet securely after a job is complete. Pretty cool, huh?
- Turn the Pressures of Technology into Potential
Digital technology has certainly and without any doubt touched and deeply influenced the lives of a large portion of the Earth's population. In the future it will continue to do so in new and still unimaginable ways. It will reach even larger portions of the population. The next industrial revolution is upon us. Can you feel it?
On the HBR blog John Hagel III looks at the good, the bad, and the ugly of technology and gives advice to companies and to individuals on how to turn this pressure into potential.
- Create Hudson Slave VMs on Azure with our New Plugin
Even more good ness from the MS OpenTech team. This time they beefed up the Azure Slave Plugin. In the post you find out about the what and how.
- SDN or Software Defined Networking – Intro to What, Why, How
Shameless self-promotion of sorts. And while the post is just an intro, it points to some great resources on NetworkComputing about how Microsoft internally implements and uses SDN. Great resource. Great read.
That's it for this week. Happy reading.
Unlike other posts on this blog, this one does for obvious reasons not have a resources section.
Have fun

- They are considering some level of participation or providing resources to one of the affiliate organizations. Maybe they are already volunteering and something raises a red flag.
- The person has a friend or family member who has become involved with the Organization. They are concerned and are uncertain what they will find out.
- The person has read an article somewhere talking about a local organization in their area and their curiosity is piqued.
Persons that were full-time Party members who, for one reason or another, departed the Organization. They too can be subdivided. Gino used to refer to such persons as the ex-cadre network.
- Listeners: the ones that monitor the blogs quietly, rarely participating (if at all) in the discussions. They are curious as to what others are saying.
- Agitators: the ones that like to stir the pot. They dismiss what others have to say, criticize others participating in the discussion. They may even exaggerate their past participation in the Organization.
- Game players: these are the ones that are out to screw around with the participants. They have yet to abandon the game playing that they learned while in the Organization, pitting persons against each other, gaining some sort of sick satisfaction out of the process.
- Participants: the ones that want to speak about their experiences, maybe even reconnect with some that they lost touch with after leaving the Organization. What they say is usually accurate and heartfelt.
- On a mission: those that are out to tell the story, no matter what the consequences. They have a unique passion. They were hurt, perhaps, and want to hurt back the Organization. While sometimes they have some facts wrong, they get involved in every discussion.
Current cadres
While some of us hope they are looking for a way out of the Organization, the reality is that the current cadres participating in the discussions are on a mission. These are some of the tactics they employ:
- Trolling: stirring the pot in such a way as to upset those participating in the conversations.
- Sock puppets: setting up multiple accounts in an attempt to make it appear that several persons agree with their position.
- Venom: agitating the conversation to the point that emotions run very hot and persons begin ranting in such a way as to appear as if the participants are crazy. Eventually, persons become so frustrated with the course of the conversation that persons drop out from participating and the blog falls to the wayside.
Their goal is to shut down the blogs and discussions. They are usually successful because they manage to engage the entire discussion panel and discussions quickly disintegrate. Even after they leave the discussions, the damage is done
They have a secondary agenda to try to recruit select persons back to the Organization. They look for those that still have sympathies for the cause, ones who had a proven track record as successful organizers, those looking for something and could not find it anywhere else. It is this secondary agenda that causes others to use internet handles instead of their real names.
These are the people who have a specific professional interest in researching the Organization. They could be a therapist trying to help a patient or perhaps one of the cult specialists just looking to learn more about the Organization. They could be a news reporter seeking to do an article. They could be a school counselor looking to help a student. These persons will read what has been written and usually do not participate in discussions. Their interest is usually on an "at the moment" basis.
The ones that stumble upon the blogs by accident. Something catches their attention. Maybe a sick fascination or a genuine interest. They decide to monitor and/or become involved in the blogging.
The Actors' Parade
Just as the actors walk across the stage after a production to take their final bow, so too do the persons that assemble for the NATLFED discussions. We come for our own reasons and take what we want or need. Then we move on.
I hope this brings about an understanding of why some blogs have failed. Once something is out there on the internet, it is there "forever" for everyone to see. Perhaps this blog will one day meet the same fate as others, but someone will come along and start something new. There may be limited interest at first until it gets going, then the attacks will start, the venom, etc.
If you take anything from this, remember the innocents. They are the ones looking for help. Keep in mind the professionals, the ones that are dedicated to helping someone.
We are the experts about NATLFED. We were there. We lived and breathed the history. We tried to make the revolution. We learned it was not to be. There are those that may say we are full of it. So be it.
It is interesting, the concept of truth. So many things were said. We believed it all. There were games that were played, persons pitted against each other when we were in the Organization. I remember one time when a cadre verbally attacked me on the liaison floor by loudly declaring that I was not to be trusted because Gino threatened to blow my brains out for being "counter-revolutionary". What could I say? That if I was truly a counter-revolutionary he would have pulled the trigger. Yeah, it shut up the person.
Gino said many things to different people. It is difficult to sort out the fact from the fiction. If you care to share, please do.

Today I'll talk about something I should talk more about: health. Our world of movement/fitness (or whatever name you want to call it) is usually very concerned with performance, often loosing sight of what's important.
Physiological health is important. Whereas training is usually concerned with the outer, physiology is usually concerned with the inner: the workings of your hormones, organs and gut. The delusion is to think that the inner and the outer are separated, when it fact they depend on each other.
So, when approaching physiological health, what should be your main concern? Eric Hulse (Elliott's Hulse brother, student of Paul Chek) talks about three key body systems for your physiological health, being:
- Hormonal system
- Gastrointestinal (G.I.) system
- Detoxification system
#1. Hormonal system
Your hormones are produced by different glands (and some tissues) in your body and go into the bloodstream to communicate organs between themselves and with other body systems. Some hormones are made of lipids, and other of amino acids (proteins), but none are made of carbs. Some hormones have local impacts, while other have global effects, but in the end they all determine important functions like metabolism, stress reaction and body temperature.
The nice things about hormones is that they can be classified in two groups according to their function: anabolic and catabolic. Anabolism means processes that build up and restore your body, so they promote things like stress reduction, muscle repair and rest & digest. Catabolism means processes that break up your body, so they activate systems of emergence, inflammation and fight or flight. In this system, it is of utmost importance to balance these two functions.
#2. Gastrointestinal system
You gut is your second brain. Having a mess up digestion can really screw up your life. Things like leaky gut syndrome and malabsorption at some degree are sadly the norm and not the exception in the majority of the population. Eating foods that are appropriate for you, managing your stress and re-populating your gut with healthy bacteria are all wise steps to recover your G.I. health.
#3. Detoxification system
The body detoxifies through many places: the skin, liver and urethra. If the other system are working correctly, this one should work fine, but the problem is that the great amount of toxic sources that we are exposed to, either through food, pollution or body-care products tend to overwhelm this system. This again shows the point about the inner and the outer: without a healthy planet, how do its inhabitants expect to be healthy? The sickness of our environment is the sickness of ourselves.
This was a brief introduction to physiological health, but let this be the main take away: if you want healthy muscles and performance, look to the inside. There, work on your 3 body systems. How? By thriving for balance between seeming opposites: anabolic/catabolic, eustress/distress, rest & digest and fight or flight.
If you'd like to know more about these topics, I recommend the work of Eric Hulse and Sean Croxton

Re: DataWedge 5 with EB 1.5Daniel Silva May 30, 2017 3:12 PM (in response to Danilo Adam)
You didn't mention which version of DW you had, so not sure which of the procedures you went through to set this up. If you had the version before 6.0.1, there were some hidden profiles that get unhidden by adding those downloaded profiles noted in the guide. Sometimes that has caused some issues if the new profiles did not import correctly. If you are able to download updates from the support site, you might want to update the device to the latest OS and CFE. This will bring DW up to version 6.2. As noted in the EB guide, Using DataWedge with EB - Zebra Technologies Techdocs , with DW 6.0.1+ this gets simpler. You no longer need the added profiles to use EB with DW, you can just remove EB from the "Disabled App list". Of course you would still probably still want to create a new DW profile for EB, otherwise it will be using the default settings in Profile0. Also EB is now at version 1.6, so you probably want to update that as well. Also don't forget to set the usedwforscanning parameter in Config.xml as noted in the guide.
Here is where you can find the latest OS and CFE:
MC9200 Operating System for Premium SKUs Support & Downloads | Zebra
You would want to get up to the build number that ends in 110816 (if you don't have that already) and then add the latest CFE on top of that. As of today the latest is CFE-MC92XX-K-00-110816-N-00-01.zip.

This manicure is featuring some fun accent nails. I had completely forgotten this sequin nail topper from Ciaté that I got in the advent calendar last christmas, but when I saw it a couple of days ago it totally reminded me off fall, so I wanted to show you how it looks.
I used a dark grey on all my nails and the accent fingers I put the sequin nail topper in 'Dallas Dolly' on top. The colors remind me of the leaves that are starting to fall of the threes.
I really like how it turned out.
Thank you for reading and have a great day! xo

ARCHITECTS: Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.
The institute's founder, Ding Le Mei (formerly Edwin John Dingle), hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design his personal home, the Ridge Cottages, the dining hall, and the Caravansary, a seven-hundred-foot-long meeting hall and hotel. The latticework seen on several of the cottages' rooftops is based on the triangle, which has many symbolic meanings, one of which is the concept of spiritual illumination. The cottages stand today in their original state. The institute has one of the largest concentrations of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture anywhere.

Headline News
New York Becomes The First State To Launch Mandatory Mental Health Classes In All New York Schools K-12
#Roommates, we've written a few news articles that's dealt with mental health issues, and it's nice to see that New York has launched mandatory mental health classes for all students, becoming the first state to implement this rule.
According to EDM, the law took effect on July 1st, making it officially apart of the education system for all students from K-12 grade.
"We need to change attitudes around mental health," Meredith Coles, PhD, professor of psychology at Binghamton University of the State University of New York, told NBC News. "Starting to educate children in schools makes sense."
Via: There are nine key points that must be taught to all students. Some include identifying signs of mental health problems, resources for help and support, and the negative stigma that surrounds mental illness.

DataArt is currently helping a client to develop a modern communications platform. It allows businesses (retail, restaurants, cinemas, etc.) to interact quickly with their clients.
The system combines the functions of a call center (text messaging), payment service (online payment), registries (booking), and corporate media (sending out information about services and promotions).
It's a highly reliable distributed system with high performance requirements, one of the key elements of which is the intelligent chat bots.
Companies don't need to create their own mobile and web applications to provide services for their online clients. Furthermore, the clients don't need to have separate apps for several companies installed on their mobile devices.
We are not hiring the specialist just for this project, but also for one of the companies of the global DataArt network. When the project is over, or if after some time you no longer are satisfied by the project, you can discuss transitioning to another project with the managers.

My alter ego Candy Warhol is the new hostess of a fantastic new night in Cork called 'Play Saturdays'. This takes place every Saturday in Cubins and is all about bringing something strange and fresh to Cork! Lots of electro and dance music fused with strange and wonderful performers. On the opening night we had gal pal Victoria Secret from Dublin perform and it was so much fun!
Victoria wore some wonderful creations that were custom made by Fionnuala Bourke (Interview with her in the interview section!!)
Victoria and I performed and the crowd danced away while Kate B played on the decks. Over the coming weeks we have some fantastic performers including VEDA who will play next Saturday! If your in Cork come say hello!

Have you ever played 9 Dots? Making a New Year's resolution is like playing
9 Dots. It looks easy enough, and it sounds easy enough, but then we find it hard to complete. Here is what nine dots looks like:

The rules are quite simple. Connect all 9 Dots with four straight lines. Do not lift your pen from the paper once you have started. Simple! (Go ahead… try it now).
Keeping a New Year's resolution feels like 9 Dots. We begin – we get the feeling we will not be successful – we give up, for the moment. Maybe we try again–maybe not. Maybe we try a few times, and then under our breath we mutter, "forget it." Then we feel like we have failed.

In the book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, apparently the number one regret at the end of people's life is "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
I'm pretty sure I never saw a movie where I was rooting for the protagonist to submit to the doomish, narrow opinions of others who wanted to shut down the dream. (That would make for a pretty lame movie.)
Struggling to work out the vision God has given us amidst the real-world cast of characters that surrounds us has made it clear to me that fear has been a dominant feature in my life; let's just say I'm not exactly ready to star as a hero any time soon.
I was never scared of spiders or of getting sick or normal day to day stuff; I'm not a wimp, generally speaking. But, the quiet background noise of fear has penetrated my thoughts over the years, especially as I have stepped out in greater and greater faith, often prompting me to overly care about what other people think about me and causing me to feel strong guilt when I fail to live up to other's expectations for my life.
But another book I read recently (Fear No Evil) articulated what has been forming in my mind for some time now: "Behind every fear there is a lie."
Behind every fear there is a lie.
Fear = lie.
Fear is not of God, because perfect love casts out fear.
And so, whether I'm afraid of disappointing others, or getting 'too weird', or being totally misunderstood, or fearfully wondering if I will even make it through the mess of this day (if I don't, I suppose it will prove the critics right, I am in over my head), I'm learning that all that anxious thinking is at best unproductive and at worst massively destructive.
Why do I mess with fear? Why is it so hard to punch it in the face and just get over it?
It recently occurred to me that of my closest circle of friends in elementary school, I am the only one with children. The others are doing marvelous, meaningful and glamorous things with their lives. Yet, it struck me afresh that what will last is the life we build. Our ideas and art and efforts will endure a season or two or five, but children carry the spirit of life into the next generation, to a place I will never go.
This crazy work of cleaning up goobery faces, waiting out tantrums, matching 8 million socks again, and clearing mold specimens out of the containers at the back of the fridge, is all for a greater purpose: life beyond me, life beyond here.
And that's the dream we have, essentially: Life, abundantly; life free in Jesus.
Honestly, I don't know where our story is going, but how can I be afraid of a dream like that, a dream that is woven through scripture like a perfect golden thread? There's no fear in that, only victory.
