i-Size is the new European standard for child car seats. i-Size seats will fit every i-Size approved vehicle and cars will need to be i-Size compliant to achieve the maximum Euro NCAP rating.
The i-Size regulations are designed to provide children with additional protection and safety in the car. i-Size does not replace the existing R44/04 legislation, but runs alongside it. The key differences are increased support for the child's head and neck and better protection in the event of both frontal and side-impact. The seat's five-point harness ensures that the child stays in the seat even in a roll-over accident.
i-Size also helps parents choose the right seat more easily by classifying seats by the child's length/height rather than weight. It can be used in most cars that have IsoFix fittings, which have been standard in the majority of cars since 2007, and which make the seat easy to install correctly. The legislation also states that the child must travel rearward-facing up to a minimum of 15 months old.
This i-Size campaign has been developed by Stennik in consultation with Child Seat Safety. For more information please contact Sally Bartrum on 01379 650112.

It's simple. When you pair your Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) with your iPhone, you will be prompted to set up cellular service with your provider. Or you can set up service later using the Watch app on your iPhone.
Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) uses the network connection of your nearby iPhone to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, and receive notifications. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace, and route mapping in workouts. And you can do many other things independent of your iPhone, like measure your heart rate, play locally stored music, and pay with Apple Pay.
Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) features built-in cellular, giving you the freedom to stay fully connected with just your Apple Watch. You can make and receive phone calls, reply to messages, and get notifications — even when you don't have your iPhone with you.
While service plans vary by carrier, many offer free or special trials for Apple Watch.Learn more about carriers and promotions
Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) does not support international roaming.
But you'll still be able to complete a call to emergency services almost anywhere in the world.*** Just press and hold the side button on Apple Watch Series 5 with cellular and you'll be connected to the help you need, even if you're nowhere near your iPhone.
It's our trade-in and recycling program that's good for you and the planet. If your current Apple Watch is eligible for trade-in credit, you can offset the purchase price of a new one.* If it's not eligible for credit, you can recycle it for free.
Just answer a few questions either online or in an Apple Store regarding the model and condition of your Apple Watch. We'll provide either an estimated trade-in value or a simple way to recycle it.
If you're trading in online, we'll calculate your estimated trade-in value during the purchase of your new Apple Watch. Then we'll send you a trade-in kit (at no cost to you) so you can send us your device. Once we receive your trade-in device, a team will inspect it and verify its condition. If everything checks out, we'll either refund the purchase method you used to buy your new Apple Watch or send you an Apple Store Gift Card via email. If the trade-in credit exceeds the cost of your new device, the remaining amount will be refunded to you on an Apple Store Gift Card. If the condition doesn't match what you described, a new estimated trade-in value will be sent to you via email. You'll have the option to either accept this revised quote or reject it. If you reject it, your device will be sent back to you at no charge.
If you accept the trade-in estimate in the store, we'll give you instant credit toward a purchase.
And if you choose to recycle your device, we'll either handle it in the store or provide a prepaid shipping label so you can send your device to our accredited recycling partner.
Apple Music requires a subscription.
*Trade-in values vary based on condition, year, and configuration of your trade-in device, and may also vary between online and in-store trade-in. You must be at least 18 years old. Apple or its trade-in partners reserve the right to refuse or limit any trade-in transaction for any reason. In-store trade-in requires presentation of a valid, government-issued photo ID (local law may require saving this information). Additional terms from Apple or Apple's trade-in partners may apply.
**AppleCare+ provides coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage from handling. Each incident is subject to a service fee or deductible plus applicable taxes.
***The international emergency calling feature requires an Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) model. For a list of supported countries and regions see www.apple.com/watchos/feature-availability.
Some bands are sold separately. Some features are not available in all regions or all languages.
Apple Watch Series 5 requires an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later. Wireless service plan required for cellular service. Apple Watch and iPhone service provider must be the same. Not all service providers support enterprise accounts; check with your employer and service provider. Roaming is not available outside your carrier network coverage area. Contact your service provider for more details. Check apple.com/watch/cellular for participating wireless carriers and eligibility.

Hello! I am participating in a contest this coming weekend and as part of it we are given images as clues ahead of time. This image has got me stumped. I believe it is just something typed in a strange font, but I have been unable to find the font. The second image shows a letter substitution that I did in order to solve this as a cryptogram. The problem I am having is that I can't be sure of where the word breaks are and whether or not some of the symbols represent punctuation (I don't think so.)
Original Image.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it! If you want more information on the contest please feel free to PM me.

Exploratory testing
I'm writing again about one of my biggest concerns right now: how to enhance automated testing effectively by using manual tests.
Automated testing first
As I mentioned in a previous post we have followed a supposedly uncommon path while developing our test system for Plastic SCM. We started creating a wide set of automated tests based on the following technologies:
- Automated QA's TestComplete: which we're extensively using for GUI test automation on Windows (actually on a combination of Windows systems, thanks to VMWare). We wrote a whitepaper about functional testing with agile.
- NUnit, the .NET xNUnit implementation. We extended it introducing PNUnit (P for parallel, although maybe distributed would fit better) which has been published together with NUnit 2.5, and it's the basis of our core testing system. While we do regular unit testing of classes and methods with NUnit, PNUnit let us test our software automating the command line, starting up different servers, on different machines, making the clients wait for the servers to be started, creating more complex scenarios synchronizing clients (on different machines), creating load test scenarios distributed on hundreds of machines and so on. PNUnit also let's you split a huge NUnit (or PNUnit) test suite in chunks and run the tests in parallel on different machines (or taking advantage of multi-core CPUs) reducing the overall test execution time.
- VMWare: the basis to keep the whole release testing mechanism under control. We run the test suite under Windows 2000, 2003, XP, XP SP2, Vista, 2008 and soon Windows 7. Then we also run using SQL Server and MySQL as database backend (Firebird is the standard one). And repeat again using LDAP authentication mode, authentication out of Windows domain (Active Directory) and inside a Windows domain, also Sun One LDAP. And finally the Linux boxes: Fedora, Ubuntu, Suse... The only three ones that run outside VMWare are: Mac OS on PPC hardware, MacOS on intel x86 and Solaris 10 x86. Simply put: it wouldn't be possible without VMWare.
Automated is not enough
Well, maybe a 100% complete test suite will do, but I bet you'll never have the time to cover all the possible combinations of a medium sized (needless to say larger ones will be even harder) software package.
So, after all the time spent on all the combinations and automated tests described, there are a number of issues that are better detected manually. The reasons can be:
- Some errors are better detected by humans: things like whether a label overlaps a text box under a certain OS or screen resolution, takes a few seconds for a human tester, but it's hard to automate.
- Usability issues: when you develop software you tend to think the user will known as much as you do about your package, but this is not true. So sometimes things you consider just obvious will be hard to understand by the average user. A human tester (not contaminated by the dev team) will find the issues. Usability testing is a whole different world, so I'm not going to be talking about it.
- Negative conditions, random usage, degenerative scenarios: what if you enter a totally wrong number or if you click at an unexpected location? Certainly it can be automated too, but most of the time automated tests (in our case I'd say especially GUI ones) try to check how the system should work when the right input is introduced, but fail to check alternative or incorrect usage paths. What if you click too fast while a view is still being loaded? Definitely these cases can be automated, but if you don't have them yet, go manual in the meantime.
Let's test manually
Let me explain: most of the teams I know face the following challenge: they test manually and they'd like to automate. So, when I started looking for manual testing documentation, I really wanted to avoid this: do manually what can be automated. For most of the teams I found automation was their future mainly because they lacked the resources, the tools or the time to automate their test cases.
Right now we can test a release in less than five hours using our automated test suite (and making extensive use of parallelization). I know it would be simply impossible doing manual testing: it would take weeks.
But at the end of the day, public release after public release, we used to spent weeks testing manually in order to find the potential issues not covered by the (hopefully always growing) test suite.
How could this be improved? I mean, a didn't need a technique or a set of tools to write test cases which could be fully automated, what I needed was a set of procedures/rules/best practices to better use the time we were going to spend doing manual testing.
So I started reading Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams. It covers a wide number of interesting topics, specially focusing on how to integrate testing (previously considered as a process centric or rigid way of working) into agile teams.
But then at some point the book mentions exploratory testing.
Enter exploratory testing
What is exploratory testing all about? Simply put: traditional random testing structured. Let me explain: it gives some rules so you can organize a manual testing process which basically consists on letting the testers arbitrarily test the software instead of constraining them with a script (which could be automated). For me, exploratory testing is the same for testing as agile methods to coding: it can look as code and fix, but there's some order which prevents the chaos to happen.
So exploratory testing seemed to be the perfect complement for our automated testing process: it doesn't constrain testers giving them a fixed set of rules but lets them play using their intelligence on a defined environment.
Exploratory testing explained
Exploratory testing is based on well planned and time constrained sessions. The team plans in advanced what needs to be tested and writes a set of charters or test goals. They define what they need to test but not how to test it (you can always give some ideas to help, but you can't create a script).
There are two important topics here:
- Tests are planned: which means you get rid of chaotic random testing.
- Test sessions are time boxed: you limit the time to test a given functionality or a part of your software, so you clearly state results should come at a fast pace. Of course really difficult scenarios won't be so easy to constrain, but normally you can expect results to come during the first minutes/hour of testing, which will also help keeping people concentrated on what they're doing.
It reminds me SCRUM.
Each tester takes a charter and starts testing the assigned part of software, creating a log called testing session in which he'll write how long did it take to set up the test, how long he was actually testing, writing documentation and also exploring unrelated but valuable pieces of software (you start with something and continue with something else you suspect that can fail).
The testing session will record all the issues (minor problems) and bugs detected.
So, there's probably nothing special about exploratory (my explanation is very simplistic too) but it helps to organize a whole testing process: it tells you what you should plan and how (constrained times, normally no more than 2 hours per session), and also what results to expect and how to record them.
We record all the test sessions at our internal wiki, and link each issue/bug to our bug tracking system, setting a specific detection method so we can later on determine how many issues and bugs were detected using exploratory testing. Linking from the wiki to the issue tracking and back allows a better navigation.
We've been using exploratory testing for the last three sprints only, but so far results are really promising. We needed a technique capable of taking the best out of the testers but not simply converting them into automated tests replacements.
So far exploratory has been easy to adopt and start up and we're using it to test our upcoming Plastic SCM release. In the meantime, of course, the automated test suite continues growing, but manual tests help us finding issues (and even defining new automated tests to cover the problems detected) and organized a previously chaotic activity.

Will Avatar make every successive Hollywood blockbuster look like it's underachieving? For at least the next few months, the answer's yes. Studios are responding to James Cameron's monolith by turning everything into 3D whether it demands it or not. This slash 'n' burn blockbuster policy is in keeping with a season filled with retreads, reboots and sequels.
High points? While the prospect of Shrek 4 may no longer seem so appetizing—admit it, you didn't even know it was being released this year—fanboys are salivating over the already spit-sodden Iron Man 2. The airport paperback set, on the other hand, are looking forward to Bourne Goes to Iraq, aka Green Zone. Carrie and co. will also flounce back onto our screens in a new Sex and the City.
Maybe Squally will stick to the return of Mike Newell and the singular pleasures of Tyler Perry. Regardless of the quality, feel the width. This is a star-laden line-up, with Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway all returning to the screen. While they cash the checks, we'll continue to tip less mainstream fare in our Must See Movie series. Click on the titles for trailers, etc.
Alice in Wonderland
Release date: March 5
Starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter
After damn near 20 years of hit-making, Tim Burton finally found himself as a director by turning to established properties like Willy Wonka and Sweeney Todd. A marriage with Lewis Carroll should be a nice fit. Alas, this "sequel" to the original cockeyed gospel looks like an unholy mess. Depp channels Peter Lorre as the Mad Hatter.
Fun fact: Critic Gilles Deleuze proclaimed that Carroll's final work Sylvie and Bruno "is no doubt the first book that tells two stories at the same time, not one inside the other, but two contiguous stories." Heads up, Disney. Get Todd Solondz on it.
Green Zone
Release date: March 12
Starring Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Brendan Gleeson
Damon mans up as Roy Miller, a Chief Warrant Officer whose job sniffing out WMDs in Baghdad is compromised by the U.S. administration. In the time-honored Hollywood tradition, he goes rogue. Hey, if they didn't want him to make waves, they shouldn't have put him in the middle of the desert.
Fun fact: Bourne director Paul Greengrass first approached Tom Stoppard to adopt Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book Imperial Life in the Emerald City, but was turned down.

Dear Claremont Colleges Community:
On behalf of the Joint Governance Committee, I joyfully announce that Kevin Mulroy has been appointed to serve as the A.J. McFadden Dean of The Claremont Colleges Library. He begins on July 15.
Kevin comes to The Claremont Colleges from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he has served since 2008 as the associate university librarian for academic services.
He is an academic and author with more than 25 years of experience managing some of the most esteemed research collections in the country. He is a proven leader in all facets of library management, including public services, collection management, personnel, budgeting, fundraising, and technological innovation.
Kevin was selected following a two-year national search. He will lead a library unlike any other in the country, and he arrives at a time of significant opportunity, joining a new positioning of the library within the framework of The Claremont Colleges that brings with it high aspirations and renewed institutional purpose.
In October, executive oversight of the library was assumed by the Joint Governance Committee, which is composed of the presidents and chief academic officers of the seven colleges. Leadership of the committee rotates every five years and currently rests with Claremont Graduate University.
Reporting to the lead institution, Kevin will work within this new governance model to develop and implement a strategic plan and vision for the library, ensure its integration into the fabric of each of the seven Claremont Colleges, and clarify and define the focus of its collections. He will assess the library's space, facilities and information technology needs; lead a highly-skilled library staff; and leverage the library's financial resources and pursue additional funding to improve growth and service.
The preeminent academic resource for our seven colleges, the library has a general collection of approximately 2 million volumes, ranking third in the state of California among private institutions.
During his service at UCLA, Kevin oversaw about one third of the university's vast, nationally ranked library operations. He managed a budget of more than $10 million and held oversight of more than $5 million in acquisitions funds. His portfolio included responsibility for the operations of the Charles E. Young Research Library's Collections, Research and Instructional Services; Library Special Collections; enterprise-wide Teaching and Learning and Access Services; the Powell (College) Library; the East Asian Library; the Arts Library; and the Music Library.
From 2001-08, he served at the University of Southern California (USC) as associate executive director for research collections and services and as assistant dean for contracts and grants.
Before that, Kevin worked for eight years as director of research at the Autry National Center. He also held earlier positions at the Getty Research Institute and the UCLA Library.
Kevin's areas of subject expertise include US ethnic history and American studies. He has written two books on relations between African-Americans and American Indians: The Seminole Freedmen: a History and the award-winning Freedom on the Border: the Seminole Maroons in Florida, the Indian Territory, Coahuila and Texas. Mulroy co-edited Seeking El Dorado: African Americans in California. And he edited a book based on an exhibition he curated at the Autry on international responses to the Western entitled Western Amerykański: Polish Poster Art and the Western.
Kevin has presented and published widely on various aspects of U.S. ethnic history, popular culture, and academic librarianship. He has also curated a number of exhibitions and organized public programs and events.
He received a master's degree in U.S. history and politics and a Ph.D. in American studies from the University of Keele (England), and an MLS from Rutgers University.
In addition to leading The Claremont Colleges Library, Kevin will join the faculty at Claremont Graduate University as professor of history and cultural studies.
Please join us in welcoming him.
Debbie Freund, on behalf of the Joint Governance Committee

The three blush compacts launched with the Spring collection are all limited edition. I bought the lightest, coolest looking shade, EX-01 Botaniro (£38).
Though the colour initially looks rather similar to all the other cool toned pinks on the market, as someone who has a difficult time wearing pinks due to them turning too warm, making me look ruddy or looking too bright/harsh, this has been a great find.
It does not turn colour on me and melds in with the skin giving a cool, natural pink flush.
The colour are both cool, candy floss pinks of differing degrees. The left side of the palette has an almost textured look to it and is more pigmented with a satin finish, the right has a smooth look, pigment is more subtle and the finish is slightly shimmery with a few touches of silver sparkle (I don't find this sparkle imparts on the skin and I can only see a glow).
Swatches below L-R: Left shade, right shade, shades mixed
I have mostly been using this both shades layered, though the colours work well used alone.
Swatched below for colour comparison L-R:By Terry Cheek to Cheek Rose, Suqqu Botaniro shades mixed, Rouge Bunny Rouge Gracilis.
Suqqu blushes have a smooth texture, they blend beautifully and there is never ever any effort required with application.
I bought this from selfridges.com

Radical Wholeness Weekend Workshop: Toronto ON
Move out of your head and into your life.
Our deepest yearning is to experience wholeness in our lives – yet too often we feel scattered and off balance. The main source of our fragmentation is that we have been taught to live in our heads. Divided from the breath, the present, and the profound intelligence of the body, we sit in our heads and strain to make sense of it all. This workshop shows you another way of making sense, and helps you experience the body as you never have before. The cornerstone of The Embodied Present Process, this playful weekend provides you with new skills to last a lifetime.
Philip Shepherd has gained an international reputation as a teacher whose breadth of vision and original exercises enable people to escape the enclosed chatter of the head, and ground their thinking in the calm, deep-dwelling intelligence of the body. His workshop provides tools to last a lifetime, even as it gently opens the door to a radical experience of wholeness.
Class size limited to 18.
Philip Shepherd is approved by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a continuing education Approved Provider. His provider number is 282. This workshop provides 12 CEUs. A CEU credit PDF certificate is available for $15. Click here to request one.

Appointment of novice suggests Levy has written this season off
Despite the negativity surrounding White Hart Lane over the last couple of weeks it is important to gain some perspective and take a look at the table. Spurs have one more point now than at at this point last season and are still in the fight for Champions League qualification. They are only four points off fourth.
With so much to play for in the league the appointment of Tim Sherwood as Head Coach until the end of the next season should disappoint all Spurs fans. By appointing a novice coach into the managerial hotseat Levy is taking a gamble that history suggests will explode in his face.
Most of the managers that do well in at the top level have significant experience of not just coaching but management at some level even if it is not Premier League. Out of the managers that have been given a chance at Premier League level with little managerial experience history has not been kind.
Paul Ince quickly got the sack at Blackburn. Paolo Di Canio failed spectacularly at Sunderland and with respect these were at clubs that are not as big as Tottenham. Experience in a manager is crucial. Considering that Daniel Levy just sacked a manager who was fast tracked from Porto to Chelsea where he failed and then quickly onto Spurs where he also failed. You would think Levy would have learnt the importance of experience.
Instead by appointing a novice footballing logic suggests that Tottenham can now only expect a period of transition at best as both the new Head Coach and the new signings bed in. This however, doesn't seem fit with the aim of finishing in the top four that was AVB's brief. At worse, and much more likely, Spurs will now struggle in the league and fail to challenge for European qualification of any sort.
Sherwood's lack of experience has also been evident in his tactical selections so far. Against both West Ham and Southampton Sherwood effectively ceded control of the midfield to the opposition. The result of this was exciting games but a Spurs team that never looked in control of the match at any point.
Against better teams these tactical decisions will be exposed quickly. If Southampton managed to earn 57% possession against Tottenham and score twice imagine what Mourinho's Chelsea or Pelligrini's Manchester City will do.
By appointing a novice Tottenham have taken a gamble that will likely not pay off.

Update (20th Aug 2008): Found another blog entry that summarizes the KL event. I'm very delighted to see the key messages of my session have been communicated and captured by an attendee. There is even a link to my entire presentation online. Thank you Brandon.
The agenda for my session:
- The Push for Green IT
- SUSE Linux Enterprise as the Hypervisor
- The Stages of Virtualization
- Summary & Customer References
Some photos from these 2 events:
The Penguins & Geeko setup at the Novell booth... they told everyone to drop their business card and stand a chance to go home with one of these endangered animals... saving the planet... . The next picture is Novell and their partners at work talking to prospective clients and finally, the main hall where the conference takes place... nice green theme... feels right at home for SUSE.
The event in Singapore has a similar green theme... that's me working hard to setup my 2 Thinkpad demo before the crowd comes in, the crowd listening to my presentation/demo and yours truly on stage talking about Green IT, power consumption, floor space, virtualization... blah blah blah...

WEATHER: I want to shower every 5 minutes.
WHERE TO: Adams Morgan, National Cathedral, Georgetown, Dupont Circle.
MOOD: Pensive.
It has been too long since my last post, a fact that was sloshing around in my head as I trotted through Georgetown this morning. And then the universe gave me something to write about.
I saw this dude with no shirt, red shorts. From the back and two blocks away, he looked to be about 45 or so (can I tell? YES I CAN.). And magically, it always seems to be the quick, sinewy, middle-aged-dudes who go about my speed, so I thought this would be the perfect rabbit for me to chase for my last few miles. I picked up the pace, springing along at a good clip, ready for the thrill of the chase, the joy of catching another runner, the lovely wild and free sensation, lalala.
"I will write tonight about the thrill of the chase, the joy of catching another runner, the lovely WHY ARE MY FEET DUMBASSES OH NOOOOOOO…"
And soon I was skidding along Q Street, my feet having caught a sidewalk brick that was just the teeeenist bit out of place, which sent me stumbling and spinning along so that, by the time I got a hold of myself and the momentum had stopped, I had scrapes along my ankle, hip, elbow, hand, shoulder, and somehow my right shoulder blade. Furthermore, I am both proud and ashamed to say that I was going so fast that I'm pretty sure I bounced.
So I stood, wiped off the grit, inspected the damage, and was horrified to see a woman walking toward me with her dog baaaawwwwww someone saw that!
This very well-dressed, white-haired, glassy-eyed lady walked up and said placidly, "It's a beautiful morning for a run!"
Whoa. Hey. Is this broad messing with me? <Irony scan> Huh. No…..
ME: <picking gravel out of my upper thigh/ass> Yes…yes…beautiful…?
SHE: <not even really catching my eye, continuing walking past> Just beautiful! Much better than yesterday!
ME: <dabbing at blood> Um…a little help?
SHE: <humming contentedly, wandering off>
I suppose I'm a little at a loss for what the moral of all this is, or if there is some deeper hidden meaning to this story, or if I need to justify even why I told it to you at all, blog-readers. Except to merely point out that this is what I go through just to put up blog posts to entertain you, and it's a thankless job I tell you what, and you just come home and put your feet up and ask where's dinner, where's the paper, where's my blog post well HERE! Your dinner is burned, the dog pooped on and then ate your paper, my body is scarred and ruined, but oh well, at least your BLOG POST IS DONE BAAAAAAAAAAA <sniffle> THINGS USED TO BE DIFFERENT WITH US! We used to just stay up all night cuddling, remember? Wasn't that great? There are other ways to be intimate, you know! <face in hands, wailing>
Oh, by the way, The Mountie has a new blog, and you should read it. In it, she chronicles her summer in Alaska — living, learning, loving, and only occasionally being eaten by polar bears and penguins.

JReport Integrates with BriefingEdge .NET-Based Program Management Solution
ROCKVILLE, MD – November 28, 2012 – Jinfonet Software, the leading provider in Java reporting solutions, announced today that BriefingEdge Solutions, provider of a comprehensive scheduling and tracking system for executive briefing programs, has successfully integrated JReport into BriefingEdge Version 15, a .NET framework, to provide enhanced reporting and dashboards.
BriefingEdge offers a briefing program system that allows companies to schedule, monitor, plan and allocate resources needed to support executive briefings and customer demos across briefing centers located around the world. As BriefingEdge approached its 15th version, it became apparent that adding an advanced, intuitive reporting component to its software would benefit existing customers and allow BriefingEdge to expand its network of services.
A key concern for BriefingEdge was the ability to seamlessly integrate a complete reporting solution into its existing technical environment to ensure that end users had an interactive, intuitive solution to manage their briefing program events. Even though JReport is a pure Java-based solution, BriefingEdge concluded that there was significant value in integrating a world-class reporting engine as part of the BriefingEdge .NET-based framework. BriefingEdge evaluated a number of different reporting tools and ultimately chose JReport for its integration flexibility and comprehensive set of reporting and graphical tools.
Throughout the integration process, BriefingEdge remained impressed with the quality of Jinfonet's support and accessibility. Jinfonet always works closely with customers to overcome any challenges in achieving their goals. "What I really valued was how well JReport embedded into our application and the level of Jinfonet's support through that process," said Tom Matthews, President of BriefingEdge. "It came across to me that Jinfonet was more interested in solving our problems than they were in selling me a license. We now have a highly customizable, highly interactive reporting solution for our customers and they in turn can provide executive level dashboards to their management."
JReport now enables BriefingEdge users to view, schedule, and analyze the activity in their briefing centers. Users can view summary data across all their events and drill down to specific targeted metrics ranging from speaker performance to customer attendee satisfaction. Briefing center managers will be able to improve speaker performance, increase topic relevance, and produce more customizable events, which ultimately unlocks market potential for briefing programs.
"Our customers can build their own reports, but they can also come to us and say I need this report now," said Matthews. "What used to take days, we can now build in a matter of hours. Our collaboration with Jinfonet has made that possible."
About BriefingEdge Solutions
Founded in 2002, BriefingEdge Solutions is a team of business and technical professionals devoted to bringing advanced automation tools to executive briefing programs. BriefingEdge can interface with a number of popular systems including Salesforce.com, Outlook and Lotus Notes. In addition, BriefingEdge supports a comprehensive API allowing customers to extend its functionality.

I went to the mall after work and there were TONS of kids trick or treating dressed up in their cute little costumes! Their parents were also dressed too, and I saw about 7 Snow Whites! Gosh I seriously can't wait to have kids and dress them up and take them to get some candy...they were just so frikkin' cute!
I exchanged my brush set for MAC Pigment in Fuschia, 3 eyeshadows refills, and palettes. It was indeed a sad goodbye with the brush sets, but I take comfort in knowing MAC is coming out with more stuff soon so I'll just spend my money on those! BTW, Nordstrom's is the only store that is exclusively selling the MAC Keepsake bag which includes a pigment, lipglass, softsparkle eye pencil, and a shimmertone blush (no colors listed).

Stephie cakes! Thanks! I just wear colored contacts as an accessory, even though I do need to get an eye exam because at night I am blind as a bat, so I might need some glasses!
I think I am going to pass up on the keepsake bag because I don't think I really need it, and I think I might just wait till the Finery bags come out....makeup is getting too expensive so im trying to scale back on what I want to what I REALLY want! LOL!

Kiki, the eyeshadows refills are of course cheaper they are $10.50 and full sized eyeshadows with the compact that encases it is $14.50. Anyone can buy the refills at a stand-alone MAC store.

A recent article by Rui Silvia describing how to install an Exchange 2013 test environment on Windows Azure started me thinking about how far we have travelled in terms of virtualized systems in a reasonably short period.
For those who cannot remember, Exchange 2007 was the first version that Microsoft would support if servers were deployed on a virtualized platform. Sure, VMware had led the charge with virtualized Exchange 2003 but the big deployment blocker was the lack of support from Microsoft. You could use virtualized servers as long as you never needed support. Other technical issues also got in the way, such as the voracious appetite for disk I/O that Exchange 2003 had, but deployment and operation was possible.
While Microsoft supported Exchange 2003 SP2 when deployed on their Virtual Server 2005 R2 product, virtualization accelerated once Microsoft really got into the hypervisor race with Hyper-V. After all, having a brand-new hypervisor that does not support major application servers was inconceivable. In those days, substantial hardware was necessary to support virtual Exchange. Often, it was something like a set of blade servers in a rack, complete with large amounts of disk, a configuration that HP used successfully to run Exchange 2007 training courses.
Exchange 2010 is a much better virtual server and Exchange 2013 better still. The continuing focus that the development group has had on driving down the I/O profile of the server and accommodation for low-end disk configurations has risen to meet improvements in hypervisors to a point where it is possible for even a relatively inexpensive laptop (albeit one equipped with fast disks and lots of memory) to support several Exchange 2013 servers, even those in a Database Availability Group (DAG). Such a configuration is commonly used to validate new builds and test software. As everything is self-contained on a laptop, it's easy to bring a complete Exchange organization on the road and use it for demonstrations or training purposes.
Now we see the first glimmer of virtualized Exchange in the cloud. It is still early days because some parts of Exchange might not be well suited to a deployment on a platform like Azure. As Silva points out, he was not able to configure Exchange mailbox servers into a DAG because of a problem with Windows Failover Clustering.
Unsurprisingly, Microsoft does not support the use of Azure as a platform for production Exchange servers, so its use is restricted to test systems. The major advantage of Azure (or any other cloud system) is that it is available if you can get onto the Internet. Being able to access your Exchange text environment from anywhere at reasonable cost seems like a pretty good deal to me.
I think Microsoft's stance on using Azure for production servers is eminently reasonable because no real experience yet exists of how well Exchange functions on a cloud-based virtualized platform. We are at the point where people are trying things out and getting test configurations to work, while also discovering parts that do not work so well. It reminds me a lot of the situation that existed in 2004-2005 when people were experimenting with virtualized Exchange 2003 servers on VMware. We have seen how that story developed and it would not surprise me if platforms like Azure mature quickly to support the production-quality operation of sophisticated application servers such as Exchange and SharePoint.
If and when that happens, we will have the choice of deploying Exchange on traditional on-premises (physical or virtualized) servers, in a hybrid configuration with Office 365, in a pure cloud environment using Office 365 or another hosted platform, or on virtualized servers on a cloud platform. Sorting out the choices and deciding just what solution deliver the right combination of reliability, robustness, and service quality might then be pretty complex. Something for us all to look forward to!

Authorities tracked down a Blountstown man Thursday who allegedly held a woman against her will and beat her earlier this month.
Timothy "T.C." Copeland, Jr., 22, has been charged with felony domestic battery, false imprisonment, and petit theft.
According to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, Sgt. Jared Nichols responded to the complaint June 14. A woman advised she shares a child with Copeland and he asked to meet with her. He picked her up at her home and, as they drove away, she said he began punching her in the back of her head. She told authorities Copeland was angry about a guy she had accepted as a friend on the social media site known as Facebook.
The woman alleged Copeland hit her throughout the drive, then proceeded into Bristol where the battery continued as she pleaded for him to stop. At one point, she tried to escape the vehicle and he allegedly drug her back inside. She threatened to call 911 and he reportedly took her phone. He eventually drove back to Blountstown and stopped in the parking lot of the Sheriff's Office where she jumped out and fled.
Sgt. Nichols noted in his report that the back and top of the woman's head had numerous swollen areas. She reported being in severe pain and said she almost fainted during the altercation.
A warrant was issued for Copeland's arrest.

Antibiotic Use In Infants Is Associated With Being Overweight
Antibiotics. Antibiotics. Antibiotics. Research continues to reveal the toll that these drugs take on human health. Antibiotics (meaning, "Against Life") have been associated with many diseases in adults and children – obesity, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, malnutrition, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and many others. Two new studies, just published in the International Journal of Obesity and Nature Journal, cite once again the link between antibiotic use and weight gain in children. Antibiotics are given to farm animals to increase their weight.

Year-End Report Card: High marks for headline men; mixed grades for WTA
Novak Djokovic will try to become the first man to win three straight Australian Opens since Roy Emerson next year. (Erick W. Rasco/SI)
BTB begins our review of 2012 with the year-end Report Card. This was a memorable year in tennis, from Roger Federer's record-breaking ascent to No. 1 to Serena Williams' reign over the WTA to Rafael Nadal's bad knees to Petra Kvitova's fragile state.
Novak Djokovic: A. How exactly would Djokovic follow up arguably the best season in the Open Era? By outlasting Nadal in a six-hour Australian Open final, winning six titles overall, going 75-12 and finishing No. 1 for the second year in a row. Djokovic continued his growth as a player, responding to a disappointing summer -- failing to medal at the Olympics was rough -- to close the year strongly. The 25-year-old Serb could have gone very negative after the London Games, but he dusted himself off and collected four of his six titles in the second half, winning Toronto, Beijing, Shanghai and the World Tour Finals.
Roger Federer: A. Age ain't nothin' but a number for Federer, who continued to build on the momentum gained last fall -- when he won Basel, Paris and the World Tour Finals to finish the season -- and captured his seventh Wimbledon crown to earn the No. 1 ranking for a record-breaking 287th week. The latter was the most astonishing accomplishment of the year for Federer. I have no doubt he has a few more Slams in him, but getting back to No. 1 showed that the now 31-year-old was still capable of consistency over a 365-day span.
Andy Murray: A+. You couldn't write it up any better for Murray. OK, maybe winning Wimbledon would have been preferable to his teary concession speech, but he'll always have another chance to win his home-soil Slam. As it is, Murray's ability to bounce back after that tough loss to win Olympic gold on that same court a few weeks later remains my favorite memory of 2012. He did it the hard way, beating Djokovic and Federer, and that mojo carried him though the summer. By the time he finally won his first Slam by beating Djokovic in five sets at the U.S. Open, the inevitable had finally arrived.
Victoria Azarenka: A. The scary thing about Azarenka's tremendous year is that she played well within herself. Her 26-match winning streak to start the year wasn't a player going on a hot run. That's simply what she's capable of when she plays her style of attacking counterpunching. As long as she's focused and motivated, it takes something special to beat her. To wit: Seven of her 10 losses came to either Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova. She lost only one match to a player ranked outside the Top 10, and that was to Dominika Cibulkova at the French Open, her worst surface.
Serena Williams: A+. Serena says she still ranks her 2002 season as her best. That year she went 56-5 with eight titles, including three majors. Her numbers this year aren't too shabby. She went 58-4 with two Slams, an Olympic gold medal and seven titles. That's an incredible haul when you consider the bulk of it was accomplished during the second half of the season. After her shocking first-round exit to Virginie Razzano at Roland Garros, Williams lost one match in six tournaments the rest of the year. It was an incredible turnaround from a woman already known for defying the odds.
Maria Sharapova won the French Open to complete the career Grand Slam. (Claus Bergmann/Zumapress)
Maria Sharapova: B+. Somewhere along the way, Sugarpov -- I mean, Sharapova -- shed her "cow on ice" moniker and learned how to skate on red clay. The result? The Russian completed the career Grand Slam by romping to the French Open title, dropping only one set over the fortnight. She was remarkably consistent throughout the year, making the quarterfinals or better at every tournament save Wimbledon, where she lost to Sabine Lisicki in the fourth round. The problem for Sharapova was her performance in finals. She made nine finals this year and lost seven of them, all to Williams, Azarenka and Agnieszka Radwanska.
Rafael Nadal: Incomplete. A cop-out grade? Maybe. But how do you rate a guy who missed half the year? Nadal looked well on his way to challenging Djokovic for the No. 1 spot after posting a 23-1 mark on clay and winning his record-breaking seventh French Open title. Then came the shocking loss to Lukas Rosol in the second round of Wimbledon. He took the rest of the season off to rest and rehabilitate his knees.
David Ferrer: A. The 30-year-old Spaniard won a tour-leading seven titles, including his first Masters 1000 shield, and finished No. 5 for the second consecutive year. He also went 6-0 in Davis Cup singles for runner-up Spain.
Tomas Berdych: A-. One half of the two-man crew that took the Czechs to their first Davis Cup title as an independent nation and the guy who knocked out Federer at the U.S. Open quarterfinals, Berdych has teed things up nicely for 2013. He still struggles with consistency -- his mid-summer lull, where he went 3-5 and suffered three straight losses on grass, almost derailed his season -- but Berdych has become a more reliable player.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: D. The Frenchman played the season without a dedicated coach, and it showed. There wasn't a whole lot of great tennis coming off Tsonga's racket this year, when his brand of dynamic, athletic play fell victim to poor preparation and even poorer decision-making. That's not to say he didn't have his chances. Tsonga had four match points against Djokovic in the French Open quarterfinals and lost 6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-1, and he made the Wimbledon semifinals, where he lost to Murray. Here's hoping new coach Roger Rasheed can help Tsonga get the hunger back.
Milos Raonic: B+. The 21-year-old began the year ranked outside the top 30, and he'll finish at No. 13 as the highest-ranked North American male. Aside from two good wins over Murray, it was Raonic's ability to consistently push Federer that impressed. In their three matches this year, Raonic took Federer the distance only to get nipped in the end each time. Federer beat him in Indian Wells 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4; in Madrid 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (4); and in Halle 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3).
John Isner: B-. Isner experienced lots of highs and lots of lows. Thanks to reaching his first ATP Masters 1000 final, at Indian Wells, Isner made his top 10 debut and took over the torch as the No. 1 American. But as expectations swelled in the spring -- beating Federer on clay and Djokovic on hard courts will do that -- Isner buckled and had a disastrous clay and grass season. His penchant for getting stuck in marathon matches -- all four of his Slam losses went the full five sets -- took a toll. After winning Winston-Salem for his second title of the year, Isner disappeared, going 4-6 for the rest of the year.
Andy Roddick called it a career with 32 titles and 13 weeks at No. 1. (Susan Mullane/US Presswire)
Andy Roddick: A. Roddick abruptly announced his retirement on his 30th birthday and proceeded to play his final U.S. Open like a man reborn. He didn't give fans much time to say goodbye, but in those three post-announcement matches against Bernard Tomic, Fabio Fognini and Juan Martin del Potro, Roddick's final New York run was celebratory, buoyant and emotional.
Juan Martin del Potro: B+. Del Potro's play over the last three months made me rue the end of the season. The quiet giant was just that through the first half -- quiet -- before a two-sets-to-love lead over Federer in the French Open quarterfinals awoke the beast. The Argentine eventually ran out of gas and lost the match but said it reminded him that he could beat the top guys again. Sure enough, he came close to beating Federer at the Olympics a few weeks later (losing 19-17 in the third) but picked up a bronze medal by beating Djokovic in straight sets. Having fallen to Federer six straight times this season, Del Potro ended the year with two wins over the Swiss great. The belief is back, and that bodes well for his 2013 campaign.
Asian Tennis: B+. Kei Nishikori and Li Na continued to lead the Asian pack. Nishikori became the first Japanese man to win the Tokyo Open, and Li made the semifinals of Beijing. Meanwhile, Taiwan enjoyed great success with the rise of Hsieh Su-Wei, who began the year outside the top 170 and finished at a career-high No. 25. More good results came from Chang Kai-Chen (who defeated Laura Robson and Sam Stosur to make the Osaka final) and Chan Yung-Jan, who advanced to the semifinals of Carlsbad as a qualifier.
Tommy Haas: A. Roland Garros didn't bother giving a main-draw wild card to the popular German, so Haas packed a lunch and did it the hard way. Ranked outside the top 100, he qualified and then won a few more matches, making the third round. A couple of weeks later he upended Federer in the final of Halle and continued his form through the summer, reaching back-to-back finals in Hamburg and Washington, D.C. Tremendous effort from the 34-year-old.
Caroline Wozniacki: D. From No. 1 to barely inside the top 10, this was quite the tumble for Wozniacki, who spent most of the year looking absolutely miserable on the court. There was simply no clarity within the Dane's camp as to how she should play or how her game should develop, and in the end it was Wozniacki and her father, Piotr, against the world. She picked up some momentum to end the year, but getting back to No. 1 is going to be a tough task.
Varvara Lepchenko: B+. Venus Williams, Sloane Stephens, Christina McHale and Melanie Oudin. What do they all have in common? None is the No. 2 American behind Serena. That would be Lepchenko, who transformed her career when she made the quarterfinals in Madrid as a qualifier and followed with a fourth-round appearance at Roland Garros, where she beat Francesca Schiavone. Those results earned her a spot on the U.S. Olympic team. I'll be curious to see if she can build on her success next year.
Sara Errani: A. Along with a prolific doubles season with Roberta Vinci, Errani won four of her six career singles titles this year and advanced to the French Open final and U.S. Open semifinals. After beginning the year ranked No. 45, Errani climbed all the way to sixth with the help of a racket change and improved fitness.
Sam Querrey: B. It was a quiet but productive year for Querrey, who finished with one top-10 win. His victory over Djokovic at the Paris Masters was the Serb's worst loss of the season, and it helped propel Querrey to No. 22, just a few spots behind Isner. With little to defend early next year, it's entirely possible Querrey could go into the clay season as the top-ranked American.
Bob and Mike Bryan: B+. The year started with Bob racing to catch a flight home after they lost in the Australian Open final to be there for the birth of his Twitter celebrity baby, Micaela, and it ended with Mike tying the knot this weekend. In between those major life events, there was an Olympic gold medal, a U.S. Open title and yet another year at No. 1.
Angelique Kerber: A. Kerber won more matches in 2012 than she had in her previous six seasons combined and racked up career milestones on a weekly basis. While the rest of the surging Germans fell away -- Andrea Petkovic because of injury and Lisicki and Julia Goerges because of inconsistency -- Kerber held steady, finishing the year at No. 5.
Petra Kvitova didn't quite meet lofty expectations this year. (David Silpa/Landov)
Petra Kvitova: D. Kvitova had a year that made you start wondering if she would be the latest in a string of WTA one-Slam wonders. I still buy into her talent, and I'm not ready to sell any stock just yet, but her fragile body let her down week after week, whether due to illness or injury. She's still the most exciting young player for my money, and even with her bad year, she still finished in the top 10 with two titles and two Slam semifinals.
Ana Ivanovic: B-. Ivanovic continued her slow but steady comeback under coach Nigel Sears, solidifying her spot in the top 20 and making a major quarterfinal for the first time since she won Roland Garros in 2008. But she hasn't shown much to prove that she'll be anything more than a top-20 staple. No notably big wins to speak of and no stretch of sustained consistency, either. But progress is progress, and Sears has earned her trust.
Nadia Petrova and Maria Kirilenko: B+. As a doubles team and in their respective singles careers, 2012 was a career year for the Russians, who won Olympic bronze and the WTA Championships as a team. In singles, Petrova, a former world No. 4, picked up the biggest titles of her career, winning Tokyo and the Tournament of Champions in Sofia. Kirilenko's solid year included an upset of Kvitova at the Olympics, which put her into medal contention.
Lisa Raymond and Liezel Huber: C+. The year started out so well, as the pair went on a 17-match winning streak after the Australian Open to snag four straight titles. The pair topped the rankings together, and everything was bliss. But the wheels slowly came off during the clay season, and the team never recovered. The disappointment from failing to medal at the Olympics seemed to weigh heavy on the partnership through the summer. They finished the year with one more title, in New Haven, and agreed to go their separate ways after the season.
Team GB: B+. Between Murray's Olympic-U.S. Open double and Robson's emphatic breakthrough at the U.S. Open, where she sent Kim Clijsters into retirement and knocked out a surging Li to make the fourth round, it was a banner year for British tennis. It looks like Robson and Heather Watson are ready to take over the reins from their British veterans, which makes the prospect of 2013 exciting.
Venus Williams: A. I still think Venus is the most underrated WTA story this year. After being ranked outside the top 100 when she started her comeback in Miami, Venus worked through the clay season to get her ranking up to qualify for the Olympics. She then won her first title in two years, in Luxembourg, at the end of the season to earn a seed at the Australian Open. She accomplished all of that while learning how to play with and manage her autoimmune disease. It was an incredible effort, a daily display of guts and will power. Serena may have grabbed the trophies, but Venus had our hearts this year.
Olympic Tennis: B. Thanks to the event being held at the All England Club, this iteration of Olympic tennis was automatically infused with more meaning and history than past events. The crowds were vocal, rowdy and partisan (read: not your typical Wimbledon crowd), and the players seemed to enjoy it. But it was hard to get past the idea that no matter how much the players talk about the Olympics and the desire to represent their countries, Olympic tennis just feels ... small. It's so under the radar I caught myself wondering, What's the point?
Tennis Channel: B+. It got a big win in its fight against Comcast, which should get the network into more homes once the dust settles. Tennis Channel also continued to up its game with entertaining original programming -- who doesn't love a good Tennisography? -- and its Slam coverage was on the money.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'practically' tag.
Today in class one of my teachers made an interesting comment.
The course I am taking with her is the first one of two parts; as the first part is ending, next week we are supposed to start with the second one, which on the paper in going to be hold by a different teacher. Fact is, this other teacher has also the resposability of an important administrative job within the university, and as it happened already in the past in similar occasions, she won't be coming to teach the class much, leaving the job to the first teacher, the one we have worked with so far.
Even though I am not sure about it (I will try some further investigation, stay tuned), I suppose that even though technically it is not her teaching those hours, she will of course get paid for it. But probably not in an official way.
Here we are. This duplicity always did and always will baffle me. It is something absolutely necessary to understand in order to live and operate in this Italy. There is a formal way and an informal way. The way things should be done "in theory", and the way things work "practically". And practically EVERYTHING works like this.
When I asked my teacher if the second part of the course would be actually hold by the "official" teacher or by her, the answer I got was something like "No, well, of course she'll do it" (the other teacher), but then in other occasions mentioned the fact that she will be probably doing a lot of the teaching for it, and even asked confirmation to us about the classroom we are going to see each other for that.
I find it truly fascinating. Living in Italy gives you the constant thrill of a never ending Schroedinger's paradox, keeping you in good mental shape with Bateson's double-bind-like situations.
It's culture for us. For others, maybe, border-line schizofrenia.

What would be the best approach using SA2?
Is there anyway that we could utilise Apache SSI through some markup of index.shtml?

Calixtus (III), also spelled Callistus, original name Giovanni di Struma, English John of Struma, (flourished 12th century), antipope from 1168 to 1178, who reigned with the support of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I Barbarossa.
Calixtus was elected as Antipope Paschal III's successor, in opposition to Pope Alexander III. He was Frederick's protégé until the Treaty of Anagni (1176), which ended the schism in Alexander's favour with the proviso that Calixtus should have an abbacy to compensate for his deposition. Calixtus ignored the treaty and remained obstinate even after the conclusion of the Peace of Venice (1177) between Frederick and the Lombards. In August 1178, however, he submitted to Alexander, who treated him generously, making him governor of papal Benevento.

This is strange. Very strange. When Fable was originally released on the first Xbox the game's Australian rating was 'M'. Today the Australian Classification Board revealed that Fable: Anniversary, the HD remastered version of Fable for the Xbox 360, would be rated R18+. Adults only.
The reason? "Sexual activity related to incentives and rewards". Very strange.
It is true that we are now working with slightly different set of guidelines and, of course, classifications are subject to human error, but for a game to go from M to R18+ in one fell swoop? It doesn't seem right.
Hilariously the sexual activity for "incentives and rewards" thing is actually related to the fact that players can receive a child for having sex in Fable. Which is sort of brilliant and accurate. I guess, in real life, having a baby is a genuine reward for having sex!
But really, is that a bad thing worthy of blotting from the eyes of people under 18? Really? It seems incredibly heavy handed.

You really underplayed the steepness of the street and sttep hillside on which the house is built. You must be the listing agent.
