|NullPointerException error on the <property environment="myenv/>
|Tue, 27 May 2003 20:54:40 GMT
Hello, I have been receiving a java.lang.NullPointerException error on the <property environment="myenv"/> line (see examples below). This is only occurring on a new windows XP machine I have received at work. My old Windows 2000 machine does not have this problem. I can get around the problem if I set my JAVA_HOME directory to bea7/jdk131-03. Unfortunately, this is not the release that I need to be using. I need service pack 2. I am hoping someone out there will have seen a similar problem. Thank you.

text: In 2018, 15-50% of all tech sector revenues worldwide will be invested in route to market (RTM) activities and investments. In almost all cases the RTM investments far exceed the amounts that Tech companies invest in R&D. Tech company CEOs, the Venture Capital Firms that fund new Tech companies and the headhunters that attempt to recruit RTM talent, all agree that demand for world class RTM capabilities in hardware, software and telecommunications companies currently outstrips supply. The required tech RTM people are very difficult to recruit, and import into Canada or the USA. When the right people can be located…they are very expensive to hire. In this course, participants become world class Tech RTM strategists and tacticians.

The newest term coined to describe a dramatic exit by Greece from the Eurozone, Grexit is also blamed for what some already consider a possible Greek bank run. Greek Central Bank Governor George Provopoulos has been quoted as saying that 700 million euros have been withdrawn by depositors just in the last three days beginning May 14, 2012, with another very possible 100 Million more likely, and after having already withdrawn 72 Billion euros since January 2010.
Planning for converting back to the Greek drachma has quietly started at banks since 2009, according to U.S. based ICS Risk Advisors, although the technical task pales in comparison to the legal and practical issues that a Greek exit would pose to the global financial system.
Since late 2011, European and U.S. economic woes have already spilled into the Asia-Pacific region, not because Asian banks have much exposure to European debt, but rather because the Asian export engine relies so heavily on the West for growth, which has already shown signs of slowing down.
In the U.S., a full blown European crisis may heavily affect the U.S. money market sector, which Fitch Ratings has estimated to have $800 Billion invested in European banks, so let us not forget about the Reserve Fund that saw its net asset value fall below the sacrosanct one dollar in 2008 and the Federal Reserve had to guarantee the assets of the whole money market industry.
Since May 1, 2012, the Dow has only had one up day that occurred on May 10 with a mere 20 points gain, as the dollar continued its upward climb against the euro and reached $1.27 per euro, its strongest showing since January.
Besides Greece, another area of deep concern is the European block affectionately called the PIIGS, comprised of Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain, with the government of Spain recently and grudgingly having to take a 45% stake in the country's third largest banking institution, Bankia.
The European crisis a drag on global markets? Worse is still expected to come.

Kenya has many nationwide parks, game reserves, personal sanctuaries, conservancies and major cities which do entice vacationers and buyers. Watson mentioned the state may revise its preliminary lawsuit, which had challenged Trump's original ban signed in January. Les makes me wish to step up my travel sport each time I see her publish a new photograph. Hannah Sampson , a enterprise travel analyst at Skift, says her conversations with corporate leaders are further proof: Many do not want to send their staff abroad for worry Trump will pull another ban that might go away them caught, she says.
On-line Travel to Vietnam suppliers and Net cruise corporations take care of the cruise traces in a singular means. And Expedia, both based mostly in Washington state, had supported the lawsuit, asserting that the travel restrictions harmed their businesses. No extra checking with Orbitz and Expedia and Travelocity – simply verify into considered one of travel aggregator sites to search out the very best deals from each of them.
On Wednesday, a bunch of non secular investors, human rights teams other activists urged members of the enterprise advisory panel to talk out against the travel restrictions at the meeting with Trump. Immigration advocates said the brand new ban still discriminates against Muslims and fails to address a few of their concerns with the previous directive.
If you need a superb tan, put on a very excessive factor sun cream within the first day or so and steadily lower it so that at the finish of your vacation you might be only utilizing issue 30 (within the hottest season). In his decision, Watson singled out that Miller quote, broadcast on Fox News in the days ahead of Trump's new ban. Whether or not you wish to plan every step of a vacation or desire a bit spontaneity, take the time to search out and gather some free travel guides.
The administration has said it is likely the brand new directive will exclude legal permanent residents, making it tougher for opponents to problem the ban. The U.S. misplaced about $185 million in business travel bookings the week after Trump's travel ban took effect, in keeping with a report from the World Enterprise Travel Association, which represents corporate travel managers and professionals.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a key element in NASA's Origins program, which has the goal of understanding the formation of galaxies, stars, planets and ultimately, life. JWST is specifically designed for discovering and understanding the formation of the first stars and galaxies, measuring the geometry of the Universe and the distribution of dark matter, investigating the evolution of galaxies and the production of elements by stars, and the process of star and planet formation. This is a document from JWST project website at NASA/Goddard describing the basic science objectives of JWST (pdf).
- Public
- JWSTSite gives a down-to-earth descriptions (without the astronomy jargon) of JWST science.
- Scientists
- A more scientific description can be found at the JWST Science Goals web pages of the Goddard JWST Project Center.
- Experts
- The NGST Ad Hoc Science Working Group developed the Design Reference Mission (DRM), a large number of observing programs to identify the core science program for the JWST. The DRM is used to guide telescope, instrument, and satellite designs.
The NGST Ad Hoc Science Working Group created in 1999 the Design Reference Mission (DRM), a set of hypothetical observing programs identifying a core science program for the JWST. Associated with these observing programs, a suite of potential astronomical targets were identified, each with their expected physical properties (number density and brightness) and desired observation modes (wavelength band, spectral resolution, number of revisits). Using the JWST Mission Simulator (JMS) each possible JWST design is tested for accomplishing the most number of DRM goals within the allotted time and budget.

While in New York City at the NBCUniversal Upfront event, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey was challenged.
In a bit of a twist – which the WWE loves – current Raw female champion Nia Jax challenged Rousey for a match at Money in the Bank next month.
After deliberating for a bit, and stating that she didn't believe she was ready for the match, Rousey accepted.
Don't miss @RondaRousey in her first-ever @WWE title opportunity when she takes on #RAW Women's Champion @NiaJaxWWE at #MITB! https://t.co/tSX02kNWo4
— WWE (@WWE) May 14, 2018
The event is set for June 17 from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois and comes just months after Rousey made her official WWE debut at WrestleMania in a tag team match with Kurt Angle vs. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.
Money in the Bank streams live on WWE Network and will also feature AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE championship, along with a pair of Money in the Bank ladder matches for future title fights both in the men's and women's divisions.
While some might question the quick push of Rousey, several inside WWE have her back:

You would be wise to question your search marketing company about their view on the importance of your competitors within a search marketing campaign. Within Google's quality guidelines, they state "make pages primarily for users, not for search engines" but they go on to add "Think about what makes your website unique, valuable, or engaging. Make your website stand out from others in your field". For many, these two simple statements taken directly from Google should form the basis of all SEO campaigns.
While the initial statement of making your site with your users in mind is a key element of any campaign, the underlying concept inherent within the second statement is just as important in that your site needs to be better than that of your competitors. Whether that is a better concept, better value via content or offering a better user experience, your site needs to stand out.
This is why any forward thinking search marketing company will include competitor analysis in a seo campaign.
There are a number of pertinent competitor analyses that will give an immediate insight into the search marketing campaigns of your competitors, namely
- social media analysis
- back link profiling, and
- content analysis
Each of these analyses allow the researcher to understand how your competitor is building their SEM portfolio.
While social media signals are not currently a major factor in ranking potential, with the rumour of a decline in focus on links they look to play an increasing role in the future. They also drive (hopefully) engaged traffic directly to your site, which should increase page views and lower bounce rate. By analysing the activity of your competitors on social media channels, you can plan and implement a competitive campaign.
While it was just stated that the importance of back links is set to decrease, at the current time they still play a large part in the algorithm. Google itself said earlier this year that they had tried link free models in their sandbox mode and the results were notably inferior. While link building methodology can be quite flexible in terms of sourcing and securing links, by conducting a cross-referencing analysis of your well placed competitor's links portfolios your link building team has a picture of which links are working well and can focus their attentions.
Content analysis allows you to identify which areas of your niche your competitors are targeting and with this information you and your search marketing company can decide to add more relevant content to your site or to select a range of keywords that are not in direct competition.
For more information about how competitor analysis can be incorporated into your search marketing contact the team at DSM.

Dear 100 Hour Board,
So I'm planning to submit mission papers soon, but something has been bothering me for some time. On the mission papers it asks what insurance I have but my insurance expires this month. I asked my Bishop if the church will cover me while on the mission or if I am required to pay for insurance. My family is not too well off, and they were wondering if it is possible for me to list no insurance the two years I'm on a mission and then when I come back get insurance. That being said, I'm concerned that not having insurance may affect where I am able to go, and I was wondering if this is true.
Second part of the question:
Long story short if I enter South Korea I will be arrested and put in the military for two years. I am a dual citizen(only found out end of last year) and was wondering if I put this on the mission papers, will I be restricted only to the US? The papers state that if I have travel restrictions I may be restricted to only the US, but this only applies to South Korea. My bishop doesn't know what to do and neither does my RA. Perhaps there is someone with similar experiences that can help? Thanks, and any and all advice is welcome.
-My Name Here
Dear you,
This is only answering the second portion of your question: please include your travel restrictions on your mission papers. Cause you know what? Serving in the U.S. will still give you incredible opportunities as a missionary. It's not like serving foreign somehow makes you a better missionary. And you definitely don't want to even chance being called to South Korea.
Finally, considering the papers only say you may be restricted to the US, it sounds like that's just a general condition they state so as to allow themselves leeway in assignment when travel restrictions come up.
Dear MNH,
I can't speak for all countries, but I know if you stay in the U.S. you'll be covered by the Church's insurance. However, I believe this applies only to issues that arise in the mission field—it won't cover preexisting conditions. I asked some friends, and it seems like there's a lot of different opinions out there, and I couldn't find an authoritative source that discusses missionaries and insurance. I don't know if that would limit where you can serve—I would assume the Church would have insurance for their missionaries across the world, but I might be wrong. If any readers know, please leave a correction! Until then, it looks like your bishop would know best, and if he isn't sure ask him to ask up the line of authority until he finds someone who knows. However, if it comes down to not having insurance but saying you do and being able to serve internationally versus saying you have no insurance and serving in the States, I would definitely suggest staying in the U.S. If you do end up getting sick or in an accident, you (and your family) will be infinitely grateful that you stayed in the U.S. where you had insurance. And let me say that missions in the States are the best!! I served in the South and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Best of luck in your mission preparations!

text: I was on the Pantone website today, doing some research for class and came across this Pantone Fall Fashion color report. I love fashion and I love color, so this report of prominent fashion designers discussing their inspiration for their fall collection and their prominent color palette is just plain yummy! It was really interesting to read the different inspirations each designer had and how they are incorporated those influences into clothing. Several designers named specific artists and/or paintings or specific locations they had visited. Fashion is big business and often sets the trends for many other design-related industries, so be on the lookout for these colors to make it to the mainstream.

The Coopers have a family tradition where each person says something nice about the other people at dinner.
I'm glad I married such a great cook.
No fair, Mom. You say that every time Dad cooks.
I like that Mandy says hi to me at school, even when she's with her friends. Tony's sister acts like she doesn't know him.
I like how Matt is a good friend to Franco.
Franco's easy to like. Most of the kids are nice to him these days.
But there's this other kid in my class—Carter. He can't really read, and some of the kids think he's dumb. Ms. Wood made me his reading partner.
And … ?
Well, Carter isn't dumb. He says he was just born with a brain that has trouble reading. So he has to work harder at it.
You know what? Kids can see Franco's crutch. If they could see Carter's problem, maybe they'd be nicer to him too.
I think that's a very wise observation.
This soup tastes really good, Dad.
And it looks good on your shirt too.
Dad, does that count as another compliment?

What is A Mini Oven?
A mini oven is usually installed over the countertop. It is smaller in size than a conventional oven. This means that it heats up pretty fast. A mini oven might be exceptionally useful if you want to bake something fast. Moreover, it will use less energy.
What Can You Cook in a Mini Oven?
A mini oven or grill machine can add an extra crispy finish to the food you've already cooked in a regular oven. Moreover, the cooking time is usually shorter. This is why a lot of people find that baking in a mini oven is more convenient. The fans evenly distribute the heat. Everything will perfectly cook without having to be rotated or moved around.
Due to this feature, a mini oven would be great to bake your pizza, bread and cake. You can use the even heat distribution to dehydrate fruit and vegetables. It will grill some veggies to serve next to your steak or pasta. You can prepare croutons for your soap or bacon for your breakfast in no time. It is a great complement to a conventional and microwave oven.
Nevertheless, a lot of people think that a mini oven might not be the best option for certain types of food. You don't have enough space to cook a big amount of food. Nor the cooktop that you can use to cook rice, pasta, boil or stir-fry any kind of food.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of a Mini Oven
Mini ovens and grill machines work in the same way as conventional and traditional ovens. But they have certain advantages that make them more desirable.
- They are smaller in size. This means that they can fit where a conventional oven won't. They are also less expensive and can be the best choice if you are on a tight budget. Mini ovens heat up pretty fast too.
- A mini oven will contain the heat and will not heat up your kitchen, unlike a conventional oven.
- They are very easy to use. Just plug your mini oven and it will be good to go. Mini ovens and grill machines are also very easy to clean.
- A mini oven or grill machine will usually have pre-set cooking programs. A good model will usually have a timer and will automatically shut off before your food is burnt.
- Most of the high-quality models come with fans to distribute heat evenly. A mini oven will have a temperature control dial that will allow you to choose between very low and very high temperatures.
- You can only prepare a small amount of food using a mini oven or grill machine. If you have a large family or need to cook for a big group of people, a mini oven will not be a practical solution. You can, however, use it if you want to prepare something extra for a feast when your conventional oven is already busy.
- A conventional oven runs on electricity as well as gas. A mini oven runs only on electricity.
- Unless your mini oven has a fan to distribute heat, it won't cook your food evenly.
A mini oven is smaller in size than a conventional oven and this means that it preheats pretty fast. It is great for toasting, baking, broiling, defrosting, roasting and dehydrating. A mini oven is essential if you have a small kitchen or want to prepare extra food for gatherings. Now you can go through the product features and choose a high-quality mini oven that will improve your kitchen experience.

Cambridge past and present win prizes at the North West Open
North West Open,
Manchester Y Club
Saturday/Sunday 13-14 January 2018
The Captain reports: In the first tournament of 2018 the Sparrows flew to Manchester for the North West Open at the Y club.
It was an early bird's game, with first round matches at 9.15 am for Ed Kay and Matt Shaw who both won in straight sets and progressed to the quarter-finals. Andrew Boyd in his swan song for Fives (until after the Varsity Match anyway) travelled down from Scotland to take on Dan Grant. Andrew's impressive shot-making with new velvet gloves meant he took the first game 11-2. However, Christmas (un)fitness prevented him from sustaining this form and he eventually lost in three games. Former sparrow Ben Beltrami then beat a weakened Dan Grant before losing in the semi-final to the eventual winner, Dan Tristao. Matt Shaw had also lost to Tristao in the quarter-final. In his early match Ed Kay prevailed over Julian Aquilina, showing his experience in a tight second game, but in the semi-final Will Ellison was on top form and beat Ed 11-4, 11-4. It was a good day for Boyd, though, who showed resilience to take the Plate by beating Ollie Arnold and Henry Jefferies, who are both ranked above him, on his journey to victory.
The Doubles tournament commenced on Sunday with a straightforward win for Kay & Shaw against a Sedbergh pair. Boyd and his Scottish teammate fought hard to beat Jefferies & Hanton in three games in which Boyd showed his doubles potential (he can hit it hard!). They were then beaten by Tristao & Butler, who went on to play Shaw & Kay in the semis. After going a game down Ed & Matt tightened their game and ground out the win to progress to the final. This lasted over an hour and a half with a humdinger of a first game where Shaw hit a purple patch at just the right moment to allow Ed and himself to take the first 12-10. Ellison and former Sparrow Charlie Brooks showed their class as National Doubles champions, taking the second game 11-0. The third game looked like it was heading the same way as Kay and Shaw went 7-0 down but they fought back hard to 8-7 and it looked like they might have it. A few good shots from Brooks, though, meant that Kay & Shaw fell short, losing 11-7 in the third.
Thanks go to John Beswick for organising the whole tournament and to the Y club for use of the facilities!

Bossypants by Tina Fey, 2011
The Novel Challenge has begun*! Well, I started it on the first of September, but haven't had time to write about it since then. On the upside, I've already finished a book: Tina Fey's Bossypants. I know it's probably still too early to call, but this may be my favourite book of the challenge. Yep, it's all downhill from here, folks.
Ms Fey's book-writin' is as hilarious as her TV-writin'. I started out bookmarking pages I found especially amusing or clever, but soon realised it was a fool's errand. Bookmarking every page doesn't work.
Naturally, there are a lot of stories about Tina's career, including the creation –and ongoing filming – of 30 Rock. Background stories! Behind-the-scenes hilarity! Poor ratings dramas! Or, as the book says:
We were trying to make Home Improvement and we did it wrong. You know those scientists who were developing a blood pressure medicine and they accidentally invented Viagra? We were trying to make Viagra and we ended up with blood pressure medicine.
But it's not all about the comedy biz; Bossypants gives a pretty good view into Tina's life, from growing up in a somewhat idyllic environment to her college years. There's stuff about her unrequited crushes ("What 19-year-old Virginia boy doesn't want a wide-hipped, sarcastic Greek girl with short hair that's permed on top? What's that you say? None of them want that? You are correct"), but she doesn't go into much detail about her later life with her husband – in fact, the first time he's even mentioned is in a chapter about their honeymoon. Oh well, I guess she's gotta leave something for the second book (kidding! But not really!).
Then, after all that, comes a section that generally deals more with motherhood and the Eternal Struggle of the Working Mum. As a kind of response to the "How to create 'me-time' when you're a mum" articles in parenting magazines, Tina writes:
Go to the bathroom a lot. Offer to empty the dishwasher. Say you're going to look for the diaper cream, then go into your child's room and just stand there until your spouse comes in and curtly says, "What are you doing?"
I'm TOTALLY saving that advice.
Lastly, there are some genuinely lovely moments mixed in with her laugh-aloud anecdotes and cleverly worded observations on life as a woman and TV/movie star. One part actually made me cry – not tears of laughter, but tears of "Awww, so sweet!". What were these wise words? A comical yet oh-so-touching description of cleaning poo off her daughter's neck. Aww indeed.
And now I'll leave you with that image of a faeces-smeared neck as I move onto book two of my challenge. Enjoy.
Read it if you like to laugh, or are female, or know a female.
*But it's not too late to sponsor me, if you haven't already – do it now!

Here is where you can post your thoughts and comments on Tarot sessions that you have experienced with me.
Your thoughts
20 Comments to "Your thoughts"
it was an incredible experience….i always thought tarot reading was like astrology….but when harpreet read my cards…its was somuch different…it was like the answers to my questions were always there within me…he just pointed the torch on them via cards….
personaly to me..it was like a way of looking at things and issues that we keep avoiding n postponing thinking about…cause we fear the outcome…with the session with harpreet…they just seem to fall in perspective…its like introspection with sorting of thoughts…n issuies of life….i plan to do it atleast every six month …
The session with Harpreet really helped me see a lot of things in the right perspective. Needless to say that Harpreet is extremely intutive and insightful, but his biggest strength is his ability to empathise. Maybe all these qualities come to him because he wants to help people. I ended up going with 1 question and he answered about 10, mostly because he felt it was in my interest. God bless and hope you grow by leaps and bounds and spread happiness..
Harpreet is intuitive without fault. I was completely impressed… I am writing this after a couple of months after I went to him for a read and trust me, his predictions did come true, or rather, the ones I did nothing to avert. I have just been to him for one a week or so back and I am already changing a few things that he said I should pay attention to.
I went for a session to him recently and he told me things i wasn't willing to face. I think this has aready been mentioned by Mr Yadav here that Harpreet asks us to face things we already know but dont want to face. I was avoiding making some decisions but now that my fears and hopes have been actualy said out loud by someone i just met – i think it is time i paid attention. Thank you, Harpreet, it was truely helpful.
When I went to Harpreet, I was quite a mess. I was having trouble with my personal relationships and my career was heading nowhere. It was a read with him that brought some coherence in my world view and I learnt a few things not only about the circumstances around me but about my own actions leading to and reactions leading from then… i wish i had gone to him a little earlier and avoided some things that i could have done without. But thanks to him I got an 'insight' on an issue close to my heart, and with his advice I learned how to tackle it just right! THanks, Harpreet!
Hi….I went to Harpreet when I was in deep mental turmoil. My situation was driving me crazy… I somehow already knew the answers at the back of my mind but the way he put things in perspective was amazing. Without being judgemental, he helped me to come to terms with so many aspects of my situation that now I'm more at peace and able to see more clarity which has helped me so much mentally and emotionally. He's really good and definately I would recommed his help for anybody who needs sound guidance.
I have done a few readings and never ever it was vague. At the end of the session you feel all your questions are answered and the reading helps and guides you in taking key decisions. If you are not prepared with endless questions, the card spread will speak for you of your current state of mind and help you to speak up. In case you have a never ending list don't worry HC has all the patience and energy and the cards would answer all of these:). Try and you will realise the dough was well spent!
I met Harpreet a few weeks ago for a reading. There's so much I have heard about him, everyone who knows him has something nice to say. When a dear friend told me Harpreet does tarot reading as well, I went ahead and asked him for a meeting.
From the moment the door opened, he was congenial and hospitable. I have had a tarot reading before, what made this one different was how warm Harpreet comes across while he does a reading. He doesn't seem distant while he's doing it. He speaks on your behalf. He helps word the questions better. There's a sense of comfort around him. Even when the cards may not reveal something that's reassuring, I noticed he breaks it down gently. It's a rare trait I must say. And am sure it ain't easy for him as well, but given his experience, he has mastered the art.
I met him at a time when I did not have peace of mind. I must say that I walked away feeling calmer and reassured. And I am sure, I'd be getting in touch with him often 🙂

So my wonderful husband has officially finished school!! CONGRATULATIONS MY LOVE!! Oh such a happy thing! He has worked SO hard and been so amazing through it all. Boy are we glad to be done! So to celebrate I decided to throw him a surprise graduation party :) It was way harder than I thought keeping it a secret...but it was so worth it cause he was totally surprised! I spent all week getting things ready and then hiding thing at my friend's house and in the cabinets (which I had to tie closed so Gabe wouldn't get into stuff...but praying Robbie wouldn't notice!). One night I got up after we had gone to bed so that I could work on a little presentation "Top Ten Things Robbie Has Learned in Graduate School" (we usually always go to bed together) and fortunately Robbie was so tired that he didn't notice! So by Friday morning plans were going well. I just had to work on the food all day. The menu included: home-made bread and a veggie/meat marinara sauce (Robbie's favorite thing!), chicken cheese dip and tortilla chips (made by my friend Gretchen), fresh pineapple and cantelope, grilled zuchinni, a veggie tray, and brownie sundays. By mid-day I was feeling good, the kids were napping, the bread was baked and cooling (like six loaves!), the fruit was cut (and in my friend's fridge), the veggies and meat were browning for the sauce, the zuchinni and veggies were cut, and the balloons were blown up and stored in my closet (which was Gabe proofed like the cupboards). But before I could feel too happy Bree woke up crying. She had only been asleep for about a 1/2 hour and so I ran to take her to the bathroom (which is usually why she wakes up crying). She had been complaining about a stomach ache before lunch, but I was convinced that she was just hungry since she hadn't had a good mid-morning snack, so of course I made her eat most of her lunch. Bad move mom. She didn't go at all on the toilet, but had some gas so I thought, oh she must be having gas pains! (I get those all the time, eat a few prunes and they go right away...sorry, too much information!) So I took her out on the hammock (ah, the joys of Costa Rica) to calm her down and tried to get her to eat a couple of prunes, saying the whole time that it would help her tummy feel better. Little did I know that her little stomach was about to revolt. Yes, all over me, all over her and the hammock. I knew this day was going too well :) But I had a sweet feeling that everything was going to be ok...my preparation were pretty much done, and Gabe was sleeping so we could clean this up much more easily. We changed, bathed, and I set her up on the couch with a movie. I wish I could say that was all the throw-up fun we had, but no, she threw up FOUR MORE times over the course of the next three hours. Poor thing. I thought about cancelling the party, but a couple friends whom I consulted (one of whom is a nurse) said that if she doesn't have a fever (which she didn't) and is feeling a little better than we should still do it. The hard part was convincing Robbie that we should still "go on our date" even with Bree so sick. I had told him that I was planning a surprise date and that our neighbor who was babysitting was ok with Bree being sick. He was reluctant, but agreed to go. (He told me after that he thought it was so weird we were going, but because I had planned it he decided to go. Really though, if our daughter was throwing up of course we wouldn't leave! But, glad he didn't ruin it :) So he went up to a friends house who was "going to let us borrow his car for our date" and everyone came over and then SURPRISE! Well, he was surprised until he walked up to the house and the curtains were closed and the lights were out. So he really opened the door and said "Surprise!" to us - stinker. But it was a blast! And I was just so happy it all worked out!! (And then of course Gabe woke up two nights later throwing up, I had it the next day. And Robbie had it the day after that. Oh man. It was awful.) But we were grateful to get it over with before our month of visitors! More on that later!!)

Another Costa Rican Adventure

Mi Amor
I just saw this most recent post from Jesika. In response, I just want to say that the fact she sees the good in me (and sometimes needs a microscope to find it) is a testament to her Christlike character. She always overlooks faults and helps bring out the good. She always examines her own life for solutions to problems rather than pointing fingers and waiting for others to change. Just as Christ saw powerful leaders in humble fishermen, Jesika sees people not alone for what they are, but for what they have the potential to become. I am so grateful she is mine...and so grateful she helps me become a better me every day!

Hand of Fate – Runescape Style
I had an idea while playing Hand of Fate last weekend. I was looking at how the game plays and honestly it could seriously match some of the quest lines or other related gameplay and they could be substituted. Some of the combat aspects can be modified to run simply in chats or the like. I'll think of some ideas in terms of some foundations and put together a starting idea once I've thought it over some more :D. Here's a video of the gameplay from Hand of Fate to give you an idea of how it works.

NYT Channels the AFL-CIO
"Card Check" Cocooning? Steven Greenhouse reports organized labor isn't worried about Obama's commitment to "card check" bill:
... [M]r. Obama has signaled he will push for legislation that would expand labor's thinned ranks by making it far easier to unionize workers. Labor leaders expect Vice President Joseph Biden to spell out the administration's battle plans for the bill on Thursday, when he is scheduled to speak at the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s winter meeting in Miami Beach.
Any doubts that union leaders might have had about Mr. Obama dissolved several weeks ago when, in announcing a new Task Force on the Middle Class, he said: "I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me, it's part of the solution. You cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement." ...
Mr. Johnson, of the Chamber of Commerce, denounced the bill, saying, "The idea of radically changing employment law when companies are trying to dig themselves out of a hole is ludicrous."
But Mr. Obama disagreed, telling regional newspaper reporters last month: "I don't buy the argument that providing workers with collective-bargaining rights somehow weakens the economy or worsens the business environment. If you've got workers who have decent pay and benefits, they're also customers for business." If there is one area where labor remains uneasy with Mr. Obama, it is trade policy . ... [E.A.]
This seems like chearleaderish pro-"card check" optimism . Yes, Obama clearly supports unions. But does he clearly support the "Employee Free Choice Act," the bill he co-sponsored as a Senator ? The general pro-labor sentiments Greenhouse quotes don't make that case. For example, the Detroit Freep's summary of Obama's regional paper interview contained this passage, left out of both the AFL-CIO's account and Greenhouse's:
He said he hoped to see in coming weeks forces on both sides talk about common ground which could be reached on the legislation.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's account continued this passage, also left out of the AFL-CIO's account and Greenhouses's:
At the same time, Obama said business had legitimate concerns. He said he would like to see labor and business groups work together on a compromise.
"Whether those conversations can bear fruit over the next several months, we'll see," he said. "But I'm always a big believer in before we gear up for some tooth-and-nail battle, that we see if some accommodations can't be found."
If you are really 'pushing' for legislation, do you start by calling for compromise? The unions may effectively win the card check fight--either through a tooth-and-nail battle or a pro-union revision. But unless they are immune to ordinary human anxiety--or have received some private assurance from Obama not reported by Greenhouse--I suspect they have 'doubts' and are 'uneasy.' As are their opponents. ...
Update: Carter Wood suggests that if Obama were 100% for card check, he'd still encourage uncertainty about his position--
Given the faltering support in Congress for card check, strategic ambiguity serves the advocates best.
How to tell real uncertainty from strategic uncertainty? [ Blind quotes from aides!--ed Greenhouse has none of those.] 12:49 A.M.

Web Applications: The Product of a More Mature Internet
Most people are familiar with the meanings of the words "application" and "web" separately but start to scratch their heads when the two words are used together. Web Applications are the product of years of innovation shifting the internet from a static and brochure-like medium to a highly interactive and dynamic entity. This change in terminology is indicative of the fact that websites are acting less like pieces of paper and more like fully-fledged applications with a home in the Cloud, a Web Application.
While a detailed explanation of how the internet has changed in the last 25 years ago is beyond the scope of this post, one of the major milestones was the advent of the scripting language, JavaScript. What started out as little more than a "toy language" to add cool features and animations to rudimentary web sites, has evolved into the monster it is today. JavaScript is widely considered to be the "language of the web".
One recent development of JavaScript that has helped it to move into the forefront of web development is Node.js. Prior to Node, JavaScript was strictly a front-end language and not be able to operate as a functional server-side language. Node.js, now allows developers to code an entire Web Application from front to back using the one language.
How does this affect businesses? For large corporations with virtually limitless amounts of cash to throw at their web applications, it doesn't make much difference at all, but for cash-strapped entrepreneurs it can make all of the difference. Prior to Node.js, practically the only way to code a Web Application was by using a different language for both the frontend and backend.
While it is not impossible to find a developer that has an equally adequate command of JavaScript and another language, these developers often demand higher rates, driving the cost of a project up drastically, making it all the more difficult for small business owners with limited resources to get web applications up and running.
If you would like to know more about Web Applications and how they will help your organisation, please feel free to contact us at Aerion Technologies today.

Moving to Japan has been wonderful, inspiring and amazing but, as an artist, it also comes with a unique set of challenges. The biggest being the hunt for the right materials. My amazing hubby had already located some amazing art supply stores with great assortments of acrylic paints and mediums by a variety of Japanese, European and North American brands. Granted, the sizes of the bottles are definitely smaller then I'm used to but I can get the stuff that I need. They also have a decent supply of cradled wood panels available, the sizes are somewhat different they measure in centimetres after all, but they have a good variety and the largest is compatible to 36"x48", a size that I like to work in. On a side note, this is probably the largest size that I would be able to fit into my Japanese sized studio anyway ;)
I am going to be part of a group exhibition for foreign artists here in Nagoya early November (more on that in my next post) and I thought it would be nice to have a 'Nagoya' piece to display. So I created a 36"x24" composition, prepared a panel and then I ran into problems.
As may or may not know, in order to transfer my many photographs to my panels I use a technique called image transfer, a technique where acrylic medium picks up the ink from a laser print after which the paper is taken away which leaves you with a clear acrylic sheet called a gel skin. Because my pieces are quite large, I like to print on 11"x17" or A3 sized paper. In Canada I had a large format inkjet photo printer, I would print my images and bring them to a copy shop to have them copied on a particular type of paper by a laser printer.
Here in Japan I was going to do the same, but then my trusty large size inkjet printer died :( Instead of buying a new large size inkjet printer my husband suggested investing in a large size laser printer instead so I could skip the step of copying my photographs and make my process more efficient. of course I happily agreed with his suggestion :D
After the new printer arrived, and we politely convinced it to speak English instead of Japanese, it was time to get to work. Having figured out the printer part, it turned out, was only half of the challenge. For the transfers to come out perfectly I need a specific type of paper and that's where the real challenge started. Event though a paper looks and feels the same, doesn't mean it will actually work the same.
I scoured the city with my little foldable shopping trolly and found a whopping 7 types of paper to try. Then I spent a day conducting paper tests and I am happy to announce that I found my paper! After my experiences with papers in the past it should not have come as a surprise that the paper coming form Kinkos is the one, it beat Canon, Epson and several Japanese brands by miles. Unfortunately they only sell it in individual sheets so I guess I'll be the weirdo who comes in to buy empty sheets of paper but hey, which cares, I found the perfect paper, work in my new studio can finally start in earnest :D

That Male-Female Chemistry is Lurking
The male-female chemistry is hard wired. We can be attracted to any number of people besides our spouse. That's life. Believers can become infatuated with believers or unbelievers. It is certainly not the Holy Spirit leading one to become emotionally involved … Continue reading

We should all know this sad reality… Pass it on FOLKS!
Horses are wonderful animals and they deserve to be treated with respect and love. There are different trainers out there in the whole world and all of them have different techniques for dealing with and training a horse and we usually judge what we see in the way they train them.
We give credits to those that know how to deal with horses, show love and respect to them and also built a relationship of mutual trust. But when it comes to those that maltreat horses and are violent in their training we are always there to criticize and raise awareness that these kinds of treatment for horses are not the right ones and they are abusive.
What do you think about this case? Is this natural? Leave your comments and tell us your opinions.

The bull and the bear are really going at it. No one can claim Newton's 1st law of motion. A day gain in one direction is quickly opposed by the counterpart to go the other way.. Today, the bear managed to force the bull back down. Can the bear win another day?
Giving that it was only half-the-bar of yesterday green bar, the bear seemed to run out of gas. Nevertheless, the bull needs to take out the 2nd lower high to win the war against the bear.
Seeing that $NUGT recovered nicely from negative start that I added more $NUGT when it settled back in the positive territory. Later in mid-day, a sudden burst of rally prompted me to add more to bring it back to full-size position.
If you look closer to the daily chart above, you will notice that $NUGT is forming an ascending triangle. And it looks like it is ready to break out of the resistance above soon.
$SPXU bounced off from support and began the process of creating a triple-bottom formation.
If the bounce continues upward this week, the triple-bottom may become reality. I also added a bit more when I see price bounced back up to positive territory.
$AMRN bounced with a bullish engulfment bar so I've to buy my starter position back.
Price is above the blue trendline. It it bounces further tomorrow, I may add.
$LRAD also bounced back some.
Another green bar is needed to maintain a healthy uptrend line.
Thanks to LRAD, NUGT, and SPXU all bouncing, my port gained back 1% for the day. YTD gain is now at 16.6%.
Current holdings:
LRAD, NUGT, SPXU, AMRN and 29% cash.
My 2 cents.

So we begin our study of dreams, of the inner world that is as real to your unconscious mind as the physical world is to your external body. One of the most important aspects of your dream self is that you are multi- lingual; you can speak languages when you are asleep that you would not speak when you are awake. This is vital because dreams have a language all their own. For example, in Genesis 37:9, Joseph has a dream about ruling over Jacob, his mother and brothers, and in part is says:
"And, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me…"
Do we really think that the sun and moon somehow bowed to Joseph? Of course not, God made the sun and moon to serve their purposes; they are not sentient beings that can bow or do anything else but what they were made to do. Dreams are not meant to be taken literally. They are symbolic communication to be taken as signs to point the dreamer toward certain information.
In this instance, Joseph's father Jacob saw himself in the dream as the sun, bowing to his child, and rebuked his son. He understood that the meaning of the dream was he would become subservient to his son, who was to become great in the eyes of God and man. Jacob had the wisdom to know the language of the dream.
Dreams are rarely logical, because God does not speak in Logic. He speaks in Spirit. He speaks in leaps of intuition and sudden blinding flashes of personal awareness that is accessible to no one but you and the prophets.
Dreams occur in the spirit, the part of your mind, your "self," that becomes ascendant when your evolved brain—the part of you that doubts and thinks it knows more than God—takes the night off. Symbols speak to your spirit in your dreams. Symbols are the language of dreams, spoken by your spirit rather than your mind.
Until you understand the language of symbols, you do not understand the language of God. That is why it is not enough simply to remember your dreams; you must interpret and understand them in order to act upon them. A dream is always of consequence, because God is speaking to you and God does not speak idly. Everything He has to say to you has importance in your life, either regarding what you are doing today or what you have the possibility of doing in the future.

ValueEdge Advisors Vice Chair Nell Minow published the following column on The Huffington Post:
On May 27, 2015, the shareholders of utility Southern Company will have the chance to tell the corporation's board that they want more independence, more transparency, and a stop to the company's support of climate change "research" that fails to meet academic standards for integrity.
May 27 is the company's annual shareholder meeting, and the items to be voted on include a "proxy access" proposal supported by a group of investors with significant holdings of Southern Company stock and significant concerns about its board. The shareholder group, made up of the City of Philadelphia Board of Pensions and Retirement, the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, CtW Investment Group, Miami Firefighters' Relief and Pension Fund, and the Nathan Cummings Foundation, wrote a letter to their fellow shareholders, asking for their support.
As shareholders owning a large amount of Southern Company ("Southern") stock, we believe that Southern's Board of Directors has failed in its responsibility to effectively oversee public policy activities and police potential conflicts of interest.
Of particular concern is the company's secret support for controversial climate change skeptic Wei-Hock (Willie) Soon, with a series of payments that stopped only after the relationship was disclosed following a FOIA request.
They are also concerned about the board's ability to provide effective, objective oversight. While the directors meet the loose SEC standards for "independence," the shareholder group points out that there are a number of significant relationships that compromise the independence of directors and may impair their ability to act as fiduciaries for the shareholders. Their letter points out:
Donald James, the Committee's chair, is chairman of Vulcan Materials, where he served as CEO from 1997 through 2014. Southern is a customer of Vulcan, purchasing $2.1 million of goods and services in 2014. Southern CEO Thomas Fanning was recently appointed to the Vulcan board, and has been nominated for election at the 2015 meeting for a three-year term.
Committee member E. Jenner Wood III is Chairman and CEO of the Atlanta Division of SunTrust Bank. SunTrust has a long-standing banking and leasing relationship with Southern, which generated $2.8 million in transactions in 2014. Proxy advisor Institutional Shareholder Services recommended that clients withhold voting support from Wood at the 2014 meeting based on this relationship.
In addition, Fanning chairs the Atlanta Fed, which regulates SunTrust. Finally, a foundation affiliated with a Southern subsidiary gave at least $500,000 to the Woodruff Arts Center in FY 2014. Wood served as a "Challenge" co-chair in the Center's 2014-2015 Corporate Campaign. Southern director Juanita Baranco also serves on the Center's board of trustees.
Approximately 16 percent of the shareholders opposed Wood's election in 2014 due to concerns about his independence. Influential proxy advisory service ISS (where I worked from 1986-90), has recommended that shareholders decline to vote for him this year.
ISS has also recommended votes in favor of shareholder proposals for proxy access and for a proposal asking the company to adopt greenhouse gas emissions goals. The company says it will not make any specific disclosures. But ISS concluded that "the adoption of GHG emission reductions goals would aid shareholders in assessing the company's emissions performance and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures implemented to manage these emissions."
Southern Company says that it is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but it claims that adopting specific goals "would not be an efficient use of additional Company resources or add value to the Company's current efforts in this area." The company's board and executives would be more credible if they were more responsive to investor concerns. The best way to make sure they get the message is to support the shareholder initiatives on independence and disclosure.

Abstract: In order to study the partial discharge (PD) characteristics of the typical defects in GIS, a 220kV GIS bus bar cavity was taken as an object to design four PD physical models, and then the PD signals on different defects were detected by the pulse current method. The effects of the applied voltage on the center-phase distribution and average amplitude of the discharge pulses were investigated, as well as the signal discharge waveform and energy distribution were researched. The experimental results indicate that PD has the high stability and repeatability of the discharge on the identical defect model under the same condition. The phase-resolved PD (PRPD) patterns, the time domain waveforms, average amplitude and central phase changing of PD signals had very similar distribution characteristics and those of different defect had different ones. So the conclusion provides a test basis for the recognition of PD types and a deeper study of the mechanism of PD.
Key words: GIS, defect model, partial discharge characteristics, pulse current, PRPD pattern, pulse waveform, characteristics analysis
Due to advantages such as small floor area, easy to install and free of external interference etc, the gas insulated substation (GIS) is extensively applied in the high-voltage transformation and transmission power system. However, when GIS breaks, it is hard to repair and takes a long time. What is more, the effect caused by faults is large, resulting in severe consequence. Among all the breakdowns, the insulation breakdown is the most common one. The partial discharge signal, including abundant insulation condition information, not only detects introduced defects during the production and installation of GIS, but also effectively detects the insulation breakdown and its severity in on-line monitoring. Hence, partial discharge measurement is an important method for insulation condition monitoring.
In order to study GIS discharge characteristics and improve the precision of detection technologies, this paper designs common partial discharge model via utilizing GIS simulation segment, collects discharge signal through broadband detection impedance and extracts effective parameters from the signal by means of applying rear-end process software. Comparing discharge characteristics of different insulation defects provides an important test and theoretical basis for effectively detecting GIS breakdown and its classification.
