I have just noticed there is a short time span of 15 minutes after asking a question when you cannot accept an answer.
I'm really curious why it does so, because I can't think of a reason for having it...
According to this Meta Stack Exchange post the motivation, as stated by Jeff Atwood, is the following:
because if you give time, the audience can write a complete answer. I guess that one of the reasons behind this constraint is to keep the quality of the answers high
The way I look at it is, what's the rush? Is there an argument in support of a speedy verdict? I'm not aware of any. There is the obvious downside that a rush to judgment may discourage other, potentially better answers, but there's another consideration that hasn't been mentioned: it is disrespectful, in my opinion, to those still preparing answers.
I expect most of us have had the experience of reading a question a few minutes after it was posted, started work on a killer solution, only to see the green checkmark flash on out of the corner of our eye. It's one thing when this happens, say, an hour after the question was posted--you take your chances--but when it happens a mere 15 minutes after the question was posted, now that's annoying. In effect, the asker is saying, "I've got what I wanted, which is all I care about, so I'm 'outa here". (OK, sometimes it's a SO newbie who hasn't taken the time to find out how the forum works.)
I'd like to see the minimum wait for choosing an answer raised, not lowered.
The idea that the OP gets to accept one answer is already half flawed because the OP is often the least qualified person to determine the best solution to their problem.
The ten minute period allows the experts some time to present the various options and solutions, so that at least the OP can make some kind of informed decision before concluding that answer X is the one he/she/it wishes to use and mark as superlative.

I am currently working on a rather large project, and I have used JUnit and EasyMock to fairly extensively unit test functionality. I am now interested in what other types of testing I should worry about. As a developer is it my responsibility to worry about things like functional, or regression testing? Is there a good way to integrate these in a useable way in tools such as Maven/Ant/Gradle? Are these better suited for a Tester or BA? Are there other useful types of testing that I am missing?

Should developers be responsible for tests other than unit tests, if so which ones are the most common?
It is your responsibility to strive to deliver defect-free code. You should write, help write, or ensure tests get written or performed in order to give you confidence in the code you are delivering.
Note: I'm not saying you are required to deliver defect-free code. Rather, you should attempt to write the best code you can for the requirements you were given. Part of being able to do that means the code should be tested.
Whether that means you are personally responsible for functional and regression tests is mostly a function of how your company is organized. All of the highest skilled programmers I know don't ask themselves "is it my responsibility to write tests of type X?". Instead, they ask themselves "what must I do to make sure my code is properly tested?". The answer might be to write unit tests, or to add tests to the regression, or it might mean to talk to a QA professional and help them understand what tests need to be written. In all cases, however, it means that they care enough about the code they are writing to make sure it is properly tested.
Bottom line: you should be responsible for delivering high quality code. If that means you need to write some functional or regression tests, do it.
This might help you:
Q1 are written by the developers.
Q2 are automated by the developers and written in collaboration with the business and/or testers.
There is acceptance testing for which I'd recommend BDD-style frameworks which use Gherkin language: JBehave (Java), Cucumber (Ruby), Behat (PHP), etc. This type of testing has some advantages over unit tests:
Functional test can be automated just like unit tests, and are very useful for testing how the different components of your project work together, and how well your system reflects the business rules.
Also, this automated test, serves as regression and acceptance test suite for any major (or minor) changes you have to do to the software (bug fix, refactor, business change, new functionality, etc). This gives the developers a lot more confidence to do so.
There are several frameworks for this kind of testing, we are using fitnesse with very good results. Has a very good library for testing web pages (we use it for testing our web app and our web services) and it integrates very well with Maven and Jenkins.
We also used to do "cross functional testing", between developers, but this kind of testing is not "repeatable", so its usefulness is limited...
As a developer I consider myself to be responsible for unit testing all my code and guarantee to the best of my possibilities that it has no defect. That's why we have so much tools at our disposal such as mocking. The goal of creating mocking objects in your tests is exactly to try and isolate your code from the "outside" world and guarantee that it's working fine and if there's anything failing, "it's not your fault".
That being said, despite the fact that it's not your fault and that your code is working as it should, that doesn't mean you can't help in the rest of the tests. I believe it's also your responsibility to help and integrate your work on the work made by others. IT Development teams should work every time as a well oiled machine, working together with other departments (like QA) as a bigger team to provide reliable software.
But that's the work of a team, not only yours.
Obviously integration tests; they are more important and more difficult to write than unit tests. It's like building a house; with unit testing you only assure the fact that the bricks are solid and resist the pressure, temperature, humidity and other conditions. But you have no clue how the house looks and behaves with the bricks put together.
The problem with large projects, especially Java ones residing in a container is that integration testing is difficult. So to facilitate system integration tests in large projects, a testing framework is needed, made specially for the project, which is the developer's job to code it. Recently great improvements have been made in this area and platforms like Arquillian greatly simplify the writing of a testing framework (or even substitutes it).
In the real world you are only as responsible as your team / boss holds you accountable to be. If you are paid or indentured to toil endlessly to find every nook and cranny edge case and jump to the whim of your boss's (or worse marketing's) interpretation of business logic bugs, then by all means, you are responsible for all.
So in other words, do what is required by the scope given to you. Its a nice extra to throw in some common sense or see others use the product you are building to get a sense of use cases and possible issues to fix but bring this up to your team or boss prior to "fixing". This includes the tools of your choosing. All your efforts should be something everyone is on board with.
If your question is of useful bug tracking, I like bugzilla, google docs, zendesk or basecamp in terms of communication systems.
I don't think this has already been covered - sorry if I missed it.
One issue is the efficient use of a developers time.
Developers often lack the skills to be good at certain types of testing. Partly, this is just natural. It's the same reason why authors have editors. It's very difficult to see the deficiencies in something if you're too close to it. But it's also about different skill-sets and different specialties.
That being the case, a developer spending time testing is poor in cost:benefit terms. That developer would be more productive doing other things, and a specialist tester would be more productive doing the testing.
Of course that's making various assumptions that aren't necessarily valid. In a small company, for example, it may not make sense to employ people who specialise in testing. Though it may make more sense to employ extra support staff and have them do some testing, or at least to get people testing code that they didn't write themselves.
I believe it is our (a developer also) responsibility to encompass all possible test scenarios before it is released for QA. The purpose of QA is to validate the software. Plus, hammering your own code for errors will always make you look good come QA time.
Who better than a developer to know what test cases are the most relevant. The developer should be responsible for doing all the unit testing, where possible the developer should help to write and execute the testing scripts. Since this seldom possible in large projects time should be given for the developer to review all test cases. In addition the developer should have knowledge and use the wide variety of automated test tools available.
In my development career I find that projects end up with better outcomes were there is a tight integration between the development teams and the test teams.
at least one member from each team should sit in on the others planning and implementation meetings also.

0.8.2 release marked the time to complete our switch to KDE development infrastructure started in Randa a few months ago. On November 8th our old Subversion repository on SourceForge was discontinued, and we moved on to our new, shiny KDE Git repository!
There are at least a couple of differences you - especially developers and translators - should be informed about.
As a KDE project, Kdenlive is now open to a wide developer ecosystem. Just as we don't want to loose any active developer (get a KDE Git account!), we would be happy to welcome new members, occasional contributors and new translators to our team, maybe among those already committed to KDE. The road to Kdenlive is much shorter now, don't play hard to get! ;)

Nice to see you join the crowd! It was so great to work with you all in Randa.

Adjective combining the word, full, from the phrase "full of sh*t" with the word; hilarious. Used to express what you think of someone when they try to convince you of something that is totally absurd or when they try to trick you or get away with something and have to eat their own words or it blows up in their face.
When my friend Amy and I had a run-in with someone who was pulling our chain or tried to get away with something, we said, You're fularious!", to show them we knew what they were all about. They thought they could actually pull it off but couldn't. HA!

The superlative form of the word hilarious is formed by combining 'fucking' and 'hilarious' to create fularious. Fugly is a similar contraction that adds fucking to the front of an everyday term to add emphasis.
Barry: I'd pay money to watch Mike Tyson chili dog Jenna Jameson. That would be hilarious.
Lazy: Me too. Imagine him giving her a dirty sanchez afterwards all while he is wearing his boxing gloves. That would be fularious!

Want to be inspired by design and UX? Catch this "Inspiring UX" lightning session with four inspirational topics! UX Lightning sessions are a full hour session with 4 exceptional speakers each presenting 10 minute topics. Hear from Thomas Lewis speaking on "Why is that Monkey Not Wearing Pants?", August de los Reyes with "21st Century Design: a 10 Minute Manifesto", Corey Schuman with "Goodbye Mouse, Hello Touch", and Chris Bernard with "7 Things Developers and Designers Need to Know About UX.". This session is intended to open your minds to new possibilities with design.
Oops, something didn't work.
I'm a Sr. Software Engineer out of Chicago, and I say it's about damn time someone addresses Usability and start to acknowledge the worth of Designers. I have worked with some great designers and time and time again, they are simply pushed to the back because highly arrogant developers or Dev managers discount their worth. Developers are not designers. We as dev do not like the design aspect right? So stay out of it...and work with your designer and let him help with site flow, whitespace, graphics, and some of the other many aspects of usability And designers are very important to our UI. Companies need to respect that and take designers seriously. If you don't your are diminishing value to your customer base by ignoring this. This is no longer the 1990s. Wake up and start looking at usability seriously as well as UX designers.
August is truly a brilliant visionary.
All the Lightning UX sessions were standing room only and Epic. Glad they're online and hope to see more TED quality UX talks next year. Kudos to John Papa and the MIX team for setting this up! #whyIloveMIX
First speaker would have a lot more validity if they'd worked out that Ling is a her and not a him. Ah well.
August de los Reyes absolutely OWNED this session. "21st Century Design" was awesome!
Absolutely loved this session. August was awesome - truly inspired

Every girl has heard the poem since childhood and wondered about her own wedding day; a day when she would need…
"something old, something new; something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe."
This little saying has been around so long that no one really knows who started the tradition, but it's become part of the legend and lore of weddings. The reference to a "sixpence" doesn't really help identify where and whence the saying came. A "sixpence" was a coin that was minted in the United Kingdom from 1551 until 1967. The verse and tradition traces back to England and many sources say it began sometime in the Victorian Era.
Not every bride will be able to carry or wear and item for each aspect of the poem, but when it comes to "something old" there's really a chance to bring something special to your attire for the big day. "Old" can have many interpretations, but it's consistent theme is: a link of one generation to the next. The bride's mother, grandmother or a favorite aunt often contributes the cherished "old" item, making it an heirloom bridging past to future.
Some say this represents the desire to remain connected to the family the bride comes from, but it also represents the life being left behind. Another idea is that it symbolizes the tradition of the bride's family values and the connection her family brings that is being passed down.
The most cherished gifts of past generations often include:
- Jewelry.
- Laces or fabric.
- A sweetly scented handkerchief.
- A hairpin or accessory.
Other popular items from another day might include a love letter written from father to mother, a picture of your parents in your purse, an old wedding photo from your family or a cherished antique mirror and brush set.
Whatever your family has, a tangible treasure to carry from your past home to the one where you will make your new life together can provide some comfort and warm feelings that help you feel more confident and truly cherished as you go forward into your happily ever after.
And at Mori Lee, we'll help with the rest of the trimmings so that your "something old" is perfectly displayed and complemented by your wedding gown's style and cut.

Homework Help for Kids with LD and ADHD
Q: Is there any online source for ways a parent can help LD students at home with homework? I'm looking for teaching techniques for reaching primary children with LD or ADD problems.
A: Homework with kids can be a nightmare, but kids with LD or ADHD may push parents close to the brink. It's important to remember that students with learning or attentional problems work very hard during the day just to be there. Homework (when it's the right kind) is as important or more important for these kids than it is for their classmates who don't find school so challenging. However, when kids with LD and ADHD get home there are two things they don't want to do:
1. Do more schoolwork
2. Do more schoolwork with their parents
Many of these kids (and we can understand why) want to come home, "turn off," "chill out," and not feel dumb. And then the parent says: "Where's your homework?" So again, we can understand when they say, "Got none," or "Got it done in school," or "I'll do it in the morning on the bus." Successful homework for kids with LD and ADHD should have the following traits:
The work should be within their ability level. Home -- especially in front of parents -- is not a time to do stuff that's just way too hard.
Homework is not a time to introduce kids to new content. That's called "school-work."
Teachers should predict how long a particular assignment should take, and let kids and parents know that it's ok to send incomplete work in the next day, if the child and the parent feel that the student has really given it his best effort, but it was taking way too long to get it done. Kids need sleep and so do parents.
Somebody at school should have "primed the pump" by having the kids start the homework in school.
The child should see the work as relevant and not just busy work. This is the teacher's job.
Kids should have someone to call -- a "homework buddy" -- or a website to check if things get tough at night.
There should be some very positive consequence for doing homework. This can be learning something very exciting, which will deepen your child's understanding of something she is very motivated to learn. It will make her feel confident and smart and give her something she can bring to school the next day to share with teachers or other kids -- that will give her some status and boost her self-concept.
There are some great resources on the Internet that can help students with LD and ADHD and parents who are trying to make homework a more successful, rewarding, and pleasant experience. Family Education Network has a wonderful assortment of strategies that will help kids develop specific skills that are necessary to complete homework assignments:

Wild Hearts
The Party
Fashion met philanthropy at the American Heart Association's 66th Annual An Affair of the Heart luncheon, which had the city's trendiest television reporters strutting their stuff on the runway at Marriott Wardman Park. Familiar faces like Andrea Roane of WUSA 9, Doug Kammerer of NBC 4 and Laura Evans of Fox 5 mingled with models as they showed off the latest spring looks from Bloomingdale's, while raising funds to benefit heart disease research and education.
The People
Guests—decked out in their best red outfits—included Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, and ABC 7's Alison Starling, who served as the event's emcee. Heather Jameson of George Washington University, as well as Shelley Lei and Adriana Blazeski of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine—the 2013 Women's Board research grant recipients—also received the well-deserved spotlight.
Best in Show
The theme of the fashion show, Spring 2014 Power Players, included nearly 75 looks presented in four themed segments. The final theme, The Power of the Press, closed out the show with local news personalities showing off their best model behavior. –Photos by John Robinson

Let's say someone gets married and during that person's Sheva Brachos week there is a Fast day that was supposed to be on Shabbos but was pushed off to Sunday. They are within Sheva Brachos on that Sunday. Does their personal Holiday trump the pushed-off fast day, or does the fast day win out? Does it make a difference which fast day it is? (Of course CYLOR)

The Aruch HaShulchan writes in OH 559:9 that although from the letter of the law, when Tisha b'Av is pushed off from Shabbos, people involved in a bris can daven mincha and then break the fast during the day, that "we never heard of anyone doing such a thing" and that not only for Tisha b'Av, but on any fast that is pushed off, we don't make any meal during the day for any simcha, not a bris nor a pidyon haben, and thus is the minhag and one should not change it.
Although see R. Ovadia in Yechave Daas 3:37 who addresses precisely the question of newlyweds during sheva brachos and concludes leniently that they need not complete the fast.
The only Biur Halacha to OC 549 strongly implies that the bride and groom do not need to complete the fast when it is pushed off, but they do when it is not pushed off. He implies that all 4 of the Churban-related fasts are the same in this regard. (Rav Ovadia Yosef makes a parallel diyuk to what I am making in Yehavveh Da'at 3:37).
While the Magen Avraham (OC 559 sk 11) rules that the bride and groom only break the fast on the first of the seven days, the Mishna Berurah questions this conclusion in Shaar HaTziyun 559 sk 34.
This Mishna Berurah is relied upon lemaaseh for the fast this year by Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz in this recorded shiur.
Nitai Gabriel - hichois nesuim - volume 2 - 79.2 says
Ps It is funny as @doubledd said in comment above but it is possible that the bride will still need to fast

How can I recursively remove the EXIF info from several thousand JPG files?
The other ExifTool suggestions are great if you want to remove or change specific sections. But if you want to just remove all of the metadata completely, use this (from the man page):
You could also use jhead, with the -de flag:
Note that in both cases, EXIF is only one type of metadata. Other metadata sections may be present, and depending on what you want to do, both of these programs have different options for preserving some or removing it all. For example,
The EXIF handling tool
removes all EXIF data from the image.
To remove EXIF data from all JPEG images in the current directory, use
To remove EXIF data from all JPEG images in the current directory, and all subdirectories of it recursively, use:
It is a good idea to test the command before.
To see which files are found:
To see which commands will be executed:
Note the
You should look at some opensource tools like exiftool. There is a lot of option (for exif, xmp, iptc).
The only thing you should do next is to write a tiny script that lists your files (jpg) and does the stuff. To remove the content of a field you'll have to set it to " ^" ; like the following example:
Vincent's suggestion of using exiftool is good. I suggest you write a script that accepts a single argument of a filename, and runs your desired strip functions on that. Then use
Say you save this as
Edit: After seeing mattdm's answer about the argument for striping all tags, I figure you can skip the script and just use the find like this:

In this interview, Dmitry Sotnikov (Director of Cloud Solutions) and Einar Mykletun (Security and Compliance Architect) from Quest Software discuss building Quest's new OnDemand product line – cloud-based IT management services to help IT professionals manage their on-premise Active Directory and server infrastructure. We talk about what it took to build the services on top of the Windows Azure platform, focusing specifically on security.
Quest is an early adopter of the Windows Azure platform. They've built out an extensive services framework as well as a few initial service offerings that sits on top of Windows Azure Framework and Windows Identity Framework. One of the key elements in the design of Quest's framework is secure communication and authentication between all the service components and layers, whereby encryption is based on certificates stored within the dedicated certificate store provided by Windows Azure. On this topic, Einar explains similarities between developing software for on-premises and in Windows Azure as well as highlights a few key differences.
Meanwhile, Dmitry dives into benefits of claims based authentication and authorization which is leveraged by Quest's OnDemand solutions, shows that customer's Security Token Service (STS) can be interconnected with other, public STS systems to provide access to the cloud-based solutions. Dmitry shows us a few key code samples from Quest's STS implementation highlighting the use of Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) classes and Einar shows code necessary to implement STS federation for Quest's SSO for existing Quest support customers.
Finally, our guests talk about Quest Software benefits from Windows Azure datacenter, such as security, recoverability, replication and compliance when building solutions on top of Windows Azure platform, and how customers' internal networks can actually be MORE secure if they adopt the Quest OnDemand Log Management service built on top of Windows Azure.

What purpose do the luchos serve? By this I mean to say the physical tablets themselves. Had Moshe gone up to Har Sinai and come down with nothing, or perhaps a fully written out torah scroll, would we have been missing anything?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The Alter Rebbe in Ch. 53 of Tanya says the following (parenthesis) are my own additions to help better understand this very complicated idea.
Ch. 53 also mentions how the lack of luchos during the 1st and 2nd Beis HaMikdash affected how the Shechina came down. See Yoma 21 that discusses how the Shechinah didnt dwell in the 2nd Temple because of the lack of luchos. The Alter Rebbe explains in Ch. 53 that the Shechinah during the second temple came down in a gradual descent of malchus d'atzilus into malchus d'beriah, etc.
During the time the First Temple stood, the Ark and the (Luchos) Tablets were in the Holy of Holies. The Shechinah — which is Malchut of Atzilut, (the revealed light of the Ein Sof) dwelled there and was clothed in the Ten Commandments. (This G-dly revelation) was far more intense, and with a greater and mightier revelation, than the same (category of) revelation in the shrines of the Holy of Holies above in the upper Worlds. (Each world has a reflection of the other worlds so there is a Beis Hamikdash in our world may it soon be rebuilt, in the spiritual world of Asiayh, Yetzirah, Beriah, and Atzilus as well abeit in a more spiritual form that has a greater connection to G-dly light ie: the Ohr Ein Sof) For the Ten Commandments are the all-embracing principles of the whole Torah, which derives from the level of Supernal Chochmah, that is far higher than the "world of manifestation."(Asiyah) In order to engrave them on material tablets of stone, it did not descend degree by degree, parallel to the order of descent of the Worlds, this Material World.
The natural order of G-dly light transformed into this physical world follows a very organized and vast structure known as Seder Histalshelus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seder_hishtalshelus In the case of the G-dly Light entering into the Luchos, in the Ark, in the Holy of Holies, in the Beis HaMikdash, this structure was skipped and the G-dly light entered unfiltered and to a degree higher than even the highest of high such as the Sefira of Keser. This was why there were unbelievable miracles witnessed daily in the 1st Temple that defied nature and all logic see Pirke Avos Ch. 5:5
Prior to the giving of the Torah at Har Sinai, spirituality could not stay in the physical world. When spirituality was brought down into this world, it was attached to a physical object, like Yaakov and the sticks. Once the object was done being used the spiritual element left back to the supernal world and the sticks turned back to sticks. After Har Sinai the Spiritual and Physical blended together. The Alter Rebbe is most likely expounding on something from the Zohar that describes the highest levels of divine hashpa (influence) being brought down into the world unfiltered and revealed more through the 10 commandements in the ark in the holy of holies than the highest levels of G-dly revelation such as Kesser of Atzilus.
This only addresses what purpose the luchos severed since it seems a Torah Scroll or just an Oral Law would be just as good.
For a more historiological answer than @mochinRechavim's, see this article by Dr. Meshulam Margaliot at Bar-Ilan.
Dr. Margaliot pursues this question along with R Nehemia's position in Shemot Rabbah 47.6 which agrees with the Sages' position in Mekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael (Tractate de-ba-Hodesh 5):
He answers that the Ten Commandments were given in the form of a traditional ancient Near Eastern contract. Each party gets their own copy of the agreement. He says that of course G-d's copy lives in the aron since that is where the Shekhina lives...
The reason for the luchot, then, is that they define the covenant between the King and the vassal kingdom, i.e., Israel. They are the formalization of that relationship and it reflected the practices of the people in the area of the time regarding covenants.

I am looking into starting a new business for photography and wanted to see if theres a clearly defined list if things I can write off for it. I'm assuming I won't make any money for a while either so can I apply those writeoffs to my spouses income?
The comment on the question "ask your accountant" is spot on. In the United States, photography is one of those things where a lot of part-time semi-pro folks can get into trouble for deducting what are essentially hobby expenses. The IRS will start noticing if your business continuously operates at a loss and you never declare any profit that can be taxed.
That said, here's a partial list of things which could be deductible for a pro photographer in the US (disclaimer: I'm not an accountant or tax professional, but am passing along what my professionals have told me):
This is one area where it's worth the investment to talk to a tax professional. A competent accountant should be able to help you understand what can be deducted and what documentation you'll need.
I was going to add a comment above but decided that an answer may be better. And I'm going to assume you are US based
What sort of business are you starting? LLC (various types), Sole proprietor, corporation? This determines how your tax is treated and whether or not you can use your spouse for write off as part of a dual filing.
As per the comment, get friendly with an accountant. I have an LLC (not photography) and my accountant has been very useful.
Even if you do get an accountant .. go visit NOLO and take a good look at the bookshop section. There are heaps of resources on starting a small business.
Good luck

Do these work with apps or just music? Always wondered, never bothered to figure out.
@thedogma: I would also like to know this
I think the answer is yes. I have bought apps with iTunes money. It's all money.
@thedogma: iTunes gift cards work on anything in the iTunes store, so music, movies, iBooks, apps, etc. They aren't Apple Store gift cards, so you can't get hardware with them. But you can get all the apps you want. I've actually been burning a 100 card I got for 80 bucks on here for the past year.
@thedogma: iTunes gift cards not only work on anything in the iTunes store, they also work on anything in the App Store as well, so you can buy MacOS apps as well.
BEWARE!!!!!!!!! This is a HORRIBLE company! After you buy, they send you a confirmation #, that you must then CALL THEM with it, and they then try to talk you into buying other things. Plus, many have complained they never even get their order. They just don't send you the card! Please, just do some Google searches, or look them up on BBB in Florida. They I horrible...BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!
Ive ordered the itunes gift card from saveology in the past and yes you do have to call in and yes they will ask if you want to sign up for some dining discount package or something along those lines, but i just said,"no thank you" and they never pressed the issue. The gift card arrived in the mail about a week later. I'd say that it was pretty painless and worth going through to get a discounted itunes card.
@madcow217: Or, go to reedeemthisnow.com and enter your voucher number - bypass the Saveology operators entirely. This works!
Why iTunes?....it's the worst fustercluck of a piece of software I've ever used!
@omnichad: http://www.redeemthisnow.com link typo :)
Anyone care to comment on if they really did this and it worked? Or is the comment thread just about what we can get IF we had an itunes gift card or personal opinions about itunes. Doesn't look like anyone really trusts this deal.
@ddfossett: the deal used to be $7.50 for a $15 GC or you could sign up with the elite program and get the $15 for $3. I did this 4 times using different emails and got all my GCs without a problem. I also used the redeemthisnow website. I was never told to call anywhere just click the link to that website to redeem. I know people say don't use it, but I did several times all without issue and no I don't work for them. I just wanted a good deal on iTunes GCs and that's a lot of free music, movies and apps.
I recently (within the last month), purchased one of these and I received my iTunes gift card within 7-10 days. Definitely worth it for me....
I bought a $25 Boston Market GC about 2 months ago through Saveology, for $5. While this was a great deal, and I did eventually receive my GC (took about 3-4 weeks in the mail), I cannot recommend Saveology to anyone. When you call to "redeem" you voucher, they will try to get more money from you. Not sure if this is what they do every time, but the guy tried for 25 minutes to get me to spend $5 to get $100 in "money" to use through discountdiningdollars.com, even though he could never fully explain what this was, or how it worked. I kept saying, let me access your site with a guest login, I'll look around, and maybe buy your deal, but of course this is forbidden, because if they allowed that, people would see that the deals are crap, and not worth your money.
Anyway, take a chance, why not? But, just know what to expect when you redeem. You will be pressured and you will have to listen and fight to actually redeem your voucher...
Takes a while to get a line that is open to redeem, but it does in fact work.
@omnichad: @gadgetgirl88: Are sure the website works to redeem Saveology vouchers? I ask because the vouchers shown on the website look different from the one I got from Saveology, and my voucher doesn't mention a website at all. So...just trying to verify that redeemthisnow really works for Saveology vouchers...
@leronis: that is how i got all of my GCs, I never had to call anyone so I am not really knowing what the others are talking about.
To all you folks you think you're getting such a great deal, check these links...other than that, I wish you the best of luck (but sorry, you're an idiot if you wanna take the chance)
And trust me, there are PLENTY of more of things like these. I NEVER post bad stuff, but these guys burned me...plus, you guys should know this by now, if it looks too good to be true, IT IS!
@madcow217: I get it. You got burned by these folks, and I'm really sorry. It sucks. And I've read the reviews/horror stories. I guess I figure: A. It's only $4, B. I didn't have to sign up for a deal where I have to cancel a paid membership, C. I used a one-time number from my CC company so they won't be able to charge me more than $4, D. I have no intention of ever getting anything else from them, and, finally, E. They'd have to be pretty stupid to burn people on the teaser deal.
So we'll see. As I said -- it's only $4 and if they come through it'll be a nice little stocking stuffer for my daughter. I'll come back and report on how it goes.
@madcow217: and what to those of us who did get the great deal?
@gadgetgirl88: If you've read up on anything about this company, you are obviously one of the lucky few. I didn't get "burned" by this company either. I got a $10 iTunes card for $5. It was their trickery and "undisclosed" steps you needed to do to get your actual card. No matter HOW bad a company is, they obviously have to have at least a FEW success stories!
Please everyone, I am definitely not one to blast on anyone or company, I'm not one of those "hater" internet posters. I sincerely posted about this company as a flag for everyone, to actually help people that are/were lured into this company's unfair & sketchy practices. I really was only trying to help...
@madcow217: i get that a lot of people had issues, but i ordered several things from them, as well as the $15 itunes gc for $3 (4 in all) and didnt have to jump through any hoops. I ordered online, checked my account the next day, as they said, then got the number to enter into that redeeming website, did that and then got my GCs. I feel bad they did, but using several emails, so they thought I was more than one person, even used my mom's name and info once, I had none of these problems as another poster noted. So yes, be wary, but I dont know what all these undisclosed hoops are because i never had to jump through any. Everytime i called to cancel my elite program, which i had used to get the $3 GCs, they answered and took care of it, no problem. I have seen here other people bash other daily sites in which i also have never had a problem, so I guess you could say it could happen to anyone, anywhere.
OK, I called to redeem my voucher. They did try to upsell me - same discount dining deal that @larrygrimes mentioned. I had to listen to the pitch and decline it three times. I just stayed polite, let the phone rep talk, and said 'no, thanks' each time. I also had to repeat my mailing info several times to get it all correct. I'm supposed to get the card in 7-10 business days. I'll report on that as well.
Yes, it's a bunch of hoops to jump through but, thanks to all of you guys I knew what to expect so it wasn't too annoying. Thanks to you all!
Just tried to get one, and they are all sold out.
@ceegee58: maybe because this was posted a month ago...just sayin'
Finally got around to redeeming and experienced the same thing others did. I did not like that we had to call a 877 number and wait on hold to redeem a $10 GC. For the amount of time wasted waiting and then refusing the attempted up sell, it wasn't worth it. Next time I will look before I leap. Good to hear others had no issues, but this company is not someone I want to deal with again.

Any quantized universal enveloping algebra (in fact, any toplogically quasi-triangular Hopf algebra) has an (in its completion) an element u called the Drinfeld element which gives an isomorphism from a representation to its double dual.
However, most people prefer to use a different pivotal structure on the category of representations of the quantized universal enveloping algebra, where u is replaced by g=v-1u. Several obvious references don't seem to have a formula for this element, even though my dim recollection is that it is very simple. Is there anywhere where this is written down properly?

What does Verb in 「ます」form +「っち」 mean?
What does the 「っち」 in @「見守りっち」 translate into?
From googling, "見守りっち" is the name of a product which monitors temperature for the purpose of warning if there is a danger of heatstroke.
So in this case I think we have:
見守り - "masu-stem" used as a noun.
っち - suffix sometimes used on names to form a nickname (あだ名{な})
There is a very famous product which uses a similar name. If you were a kid at the right time, you may have had one - commonly romanised as Tamagotchi (たまごっち). Comparing the look of the two products, I think this may be a direct reference.

President to Target Abuses in Iran, Syria
The White House said Monday the U.S. would impose sanctions on companies, agencies and individuals inside Syria and Iran that use digital technology to help the two nations' governments crush dissent.
President Barack Obama made the announcement at the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum, saying the move was part of his effort to make good on the world vow to "never again" allow a massacre to unfold before its eyes.
Mr. Obama's executive order gives U.S. officials the authority to go after anyone who supports human-rights violations using technology, but the administration chose to limit its first application to entities inside Iraq and Syria, a White House official said.
Human-rights groups said the move was likely to have little impact since it doesn't target companies that make or sell the technologies at issue.
"This seems to be a much more focused action and punitive action on Iran and Syria, versus a more comprehensive look at how do you prevent these kinds of technologies from falling into the hands of bad actors generally," said Arvind Ganesan, business and human-rights director for the advocacy group Human Rights Watch.
Mr. Ganesan suggested that the U.S. require companies to obtain licenses if they want to sell technology to a broader swath of countries that might use it to crack down on dissent.
The president's action came after a year of popular uprisings across the Middle East showed how the use of technology could cut both ways.
On the one hand, Facebook posts, Skype chats and Twitter updates helped citizens wield outsize influence, empowering them to help topple regimes that seemed impenetrable. On the other, invasive technology, often sold by multinational companies, gave governments tools to censor websites, track citizens and crack down on activists.
Censorship Inc.
The Journal investigates the business of censorship and the use of Western technology by governments facing social unrest.
The Obama administration said it was imposing sanctions—such as seizing property or bank accounts—as well as visa bans on seven entities under the new policy, though six of the seven already had been sanctioned in an effort to stop human-rights abuses and repression of democracy.
The newly sanctioned entity is Datak Telecom, an Iranian Internet service provider that the Treasury Department said regularly collaborates with Iran's government to monitor users. Other entities that already had been sanctioned include a Syrian cellphone company and Iran's ministry of intelligence and security.
White House officials said the Treasury and State departments would make sure sanctions target businesses and entities that truly are involved in human-rights abuses, rather than those whose equipment or technology is used by others for harm.
"We need to be doing everything we can to prevent and respond to these kinds of atrocities, because national sovereignty is never a license to slaughter your people," Mr. Obama said. "These technologies should be in place to empower citizens, not to repress them."
In a series of articles last year, The Wall Street Journal reported that a host of companies had put tracking technology in the hands of repressive regimes.
The trip to the Holocaust museum was Mr. Obama's second and is part of an effort to reach out to Jewish voters, some of whom have expressed concern about his push on Israel to make concessions toward peace with the Palestinians. On Monday, he spoke of the U.S.'s commitment to both defend Israel on the world stage and to block Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
He also recounted his own visits to the Buchenwald concentration camp as president, and to Israel, before he was elected. And he announced he would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, posthumously to Jan Karski, an officer in the Polish underground during World War II, who provided one of the first eyewitness accounts of the Holocaust.
Also Monday, the administration's new Atrocities Prevention Board, composed of officials across the government, held its first meeting. And Mr. Obama said the intelligence community would create the first-ever National Intelligence Estimate on the global risk of mass atrocities and genocide.
The new presidential order, however, highlights the limits of Washington's ability to change policies of its enemies in the Middle East as well as the contradictions of U.S. policy in the region.
The order sidesteps what many Arab human rights activists say is the use of similar Internet monitoring technologies by Arab allies of Washington to harass, arrest and persecute their own dissidents. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, for example, monitor Twitter and chat rooms to compile dossiers on citizens advocating for more democracy or agitating for peaceful protests against their governments. Such online writings and communications have led to trials and convictions against activists in the past year.
In Egypt, secret services employed technology from a British company to eavesdrop on dissidents using Skype. In Libya, the Gadhafi regime intercepted emails and Internet chats of dissidents using a system from a French company and tapped the country's phone calls using a South African company's technology.
Across the Gulf, governments have relied on tools from American and Canadian companies to censor the Internet. Blue Coat Systems Inc. acknowledged in an interview last year that Syrian Internet providers were using its devices to block websites, though the California-based company said it never sold the technology to Syria.
Iran has bought high-tech tools from major international companies to track the location of people's cellphones and intercept and record calls on mobile networks, the Journal documented.

10 Stress-Busting Tips from Moms Like You
7 of 11
Seek Out Parent Support
Other moms can relate to your madness! Look for opportunities to meet other parents, such as "Mommy and Me" classes at the YMCA, story time at the library, or support groups in your area if you're a single mom or have a child with special needs. Online message boards are also a good resource.
One single mother says: "Attention single moms! It's no good for you or your children to sit at home and feel sorry for yourself that you're stuck doing this parenting thing alone. Get out there and find yourself a good support group. Your insurance company may offer a variety of self-improvement programs at no cost to you. Your local library, church, or community message board may also help you find a group that would be the right fit. Getting out there is half the battle."
Another mom says: "In our small community, the recreation center offers a two-hour open gym time for babies, toddlers, and their parents twice a week. It's a good break from the house, and the kids can run, climb, jump and be 'wild' in a safe place. The kids have a chance to play with other children. I visit with other moms and we share our struggles, ideas, and joys. It's good for the kids and good for me!"

Many have since wondered what became of the project and we now have an idea.

Equilibrium analysis
Unique bid auction games
- abstract
Two auction mechanisms are studied in which players compete with one another for an exogenously determined prize by independently submitting integer bids in some discrete and commonly known strategy space specified by the auctioneer. In the unique lowest (highest) bid auction game, the winner of the prize is the player who submits the lowest (highest) bid provided that this bid is unique, i.e., unmatched by other bids. Assuming a commonly known finite population of players, a non-negative cost of entry, and an option to stay out of the auction if the entry cost is deemed too high, we propose an algorithm for computing symmetric mixed-strategy equilibrium solutions to the two variants of the auction game, illustrate them, and examine their properties.

I am trying to locate a movie that I saw only a few scenes to while recovering from some injuries. If I am remembering correctly, the protagonist exists in a society where everyone has a religion, save himself. I believe there were some characters (guards, police) who wore trench coats and had white face masks on (like Rorschach); and there was a receptionist who had just switched religions to something like "7th day adventists."
Can anyone recall this movie? I want to say it was a more recent (last 5 years) film, but I am not certain.

Because of the efforts of Rutgers School of Law–Newark students and the enthusiastic support of the university's Office of Trademark Licensing and Office of the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Rutgers became the first university to participate in the National Trademark Expo of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
|(L-r) Alix James '13, Eric Ashbahian '13 and Dana Broughton '14 posed with the USPTO mascot T Markey at the 2012 National Trademark Expo.
The project to have Rutgers accepted as an exhibitor was led by Eric Ashbahian '13 who, along with Dana L. Broughton '14 and Karen Tonoyan '14, interned last summer at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. Ashbahian learned about the annual expo prior to his internship and, recognizing a great opportunity to showcase the university, applied on Rutgers' behalf. Held on October 19 and 20, the event attracted more than 15,000 visitors to USPTO headquarters.
Ashbahian, Broughton and Alix James '13, together with Marybeth Schmutz, who heads the Rutgers Office of Trademark Licensing, staffed the popular exhibit. The Scarlet Knight mascot also showed up to interact with visitors. Said Broughton: "Participation in the USPTO Trademark Expo was an excellent opportunity to interact with the general public and educate them about trademarks and Rutgers' trademarks. I look forward to participating in the Expo next year."
Among the criteria used by USPTO to evaluate exhibit applications are brand recognition among consumers and the ability of the proposed exhibit to enhance public understanding of the value of trademarks or intellectual property in the global marketplace. Ashbahian created posters with information about trademarks generally as well as some about the Rutgers name and usage. The posters covered such topics as the difference between TM, SM and R; obligations after a mark has been registered; protections under federal registration; and how Rutgers protects its mark from unwanted uses. Two posters created by the Office of Trademark Licensing displayed many of the university's current trademarks.

The opportunity to educate hundreds of visitors about intellectual property issues – and to display logos and other examples of Rutgers' impressive trademark portfolio – is one that Schmutz was delighted to have. It is her job to protect the many federal and state registrations that the university, over the course of its 246-year-old history, has obtained for trademarks in international classes ranging from educational services to turf grass to apparel.
Unlike Schmutz, a long-time licensing professional and former board member of the International Collegiate Licensing Association, Ashbahian and Broughton are recent IP enthusiasts.
Talented in math and intrigued by the possibilities presented by nanotechnology, Eric Ashbahian pursued a B.S. in ceramic and materials engineering at Rutgers University, where he was a Bloustein Scholar and received an author's credit for a published paper titled "Maximizing d33 of a Non-Lead Piezoelectric." After college he worked as an engineer for three years, first for one of the world's largest steel and mining companies and then for the leading manufacturer of passenger rail cars in the U.S.
Ashbahian had been planning to get a master's degree when, at his sister's graduation from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, mention of Penn Law moved him to think instead for the first time about a J.D. A bit of research revealed that, with his engineering background, intellectual property "was a perfect area of law for me." His Rutgers classes, together with internships at the USPTO, DC Comics, and the NJIT Office of Research and Development legal counsel's office, have more than confirmed that insight.
Dana Broughton was even farther into a non-legal career when she first entertained the idea of law school. She began her undergraduate education at Clemson University as an education major with the hopes of teaching high school chemistry, a subject at which she excelled and enjoyed. Realizing that a chemistry degree would provide more career options, she switched majors in her sophomore year and secured an internship at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "During that internship," she recalled, "I met several minorities with Ph.D.s in chemistry and biology that inspired me to pursue my Ph.D. in chemistry."
|The Scarlet Knight mascot visited the expo.
Broughton earned her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of South Carolina where her dissertation topic was "Development of organic-probes for carbohydrate-lectin interactions to serve as biosensors for a plethora of disease states." Her research was published in prominent scientific journals and presented at national scientific meetings. Still, as a graduate student and postdoctoral associate at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, she began to have second thoughts about a life in science. "I loved giving scientific talks, presentations and proposals, but I didn't necessarily like being in the laboratory and conducting research." Broughton looked into other careers in which she could use her chemistry background. "Patent Law stood out to me. I would be able to use the skills that I loved the most and still be tied to the big picture of science."
Both Ashbahian and Broughton found their summer 2012 experience in the USPTO Patent Experience Externship Program very fulfilling. Broughton was assigned to a technical unit focused on biotechnology and organic chemistry. Working on RCE (requests for continued examination) patent applications, she learned much about the patent prosecution process.
Ashbahian finished the program with a ready answer for those who ask "Why in the world would you want to do that. It's so boring!" when he describes an interest in a career in patent law. "After interning at the USPTO I now respond to everyone, 'Yes, it is a lot of reading and tedious searching but the things you read and research are, in some cases, technologies that will change the way the world works.'"
Participation in the Rutgers Community Law Clinic (CLC) has also enhanced Ashbahian and Broughton's interest in trademark and service mark law. The clinic is one of a select group of participants in the USPTO Law School Clinic Certification Pilot Program.
Under the supervision of Clinical Professor John R. Kettle III, who heads the CLC Intellectual Property Law Section, students are permitted to draft and file trademark applications, respond to office actions, and draft and file briefs or reply briefs in appeals to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Approximately one quarter of the more than 100 trademark and service mark applications filed by the clinic have been filed by students under the USPTO Pilot Program.
After two-days of networking at the trademark expo with others in the field and interacting with thousands of members of the public, Ashbahian and Broughton are more certain than ever of their career goals: for Ashbahian, a job as an in-house IP attorney and for Broughton, to work as a patent attorney.

I recently watched the movie, Red Tails, about the Tuskegee Airmen's triumph over racism, poor equipment, and under-utilization during the air war over the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during World War II. I really came away impressed not just of the character, performance, and professionalism of the Tuskegee Airmen, but also of the high number of transferable military-to-business skill sets the movie offers. This movie was a great example of direct examples of combat aviation skills and how well they can and do work in business.
Below are a few of the more relevant business lessons that the movie offers.
Business Lesson #1 from Red Tails – Communicate With Your Team. The pilot cross-talk during both fighter operations and the bomber protection missions was a great lesson in the importance of team communications. Before the battle, the pilots communicated to keep up morale and pass important lessons to ensure success in the air. Once the battle was joined, the pilots communicated their positions, plans, and if they needed or could offer help. This is a great lesson for customer facing organizations to communicate in the heat of operations and serving customers how they are doing, how the plan is progressing, or if they can offer to help.
Business Lesson #2 from Red Tails –The Trifecta: Pride + Professionalism + Performance. Direct and Indirect racism against the Tuskegee Airman was a constant companion. The Tuskegee Airman took a direct step to not fight back physically. Instead, they let the combination of Pride in their Unit, the Professionalism of their conduct as Army Air Corp soldiers, and their high performance as aviators be the judge. This is great advice to never stoop to the level of your detractors and critics, but to rise above the "flak" or negativity with a positive attitude, unparalleled professionalism, and produce great results for your customers.
Business Lesson #3 from Red Tails –Know How to Define & Measure Your Success. In my favorite scene from the Red Tails, Colonel A.J. Bullard (Terrence Howard) responds to calls of disagreement from the pilots that they will remain with the heavy bomber groups and not pursue the attacking German fighter aircraft. Bullard: "We will measure our success by the husbands we return to their wives, the fathers we return to their children. For every bomber we save, we will save the lives of 10 crewmen." This directly told the entire unit how they would be successful from now on – not by shooting down planes, but by ensuring, the heavy bombers returned to their bases in England. Organizations at the bottom level need to fully understand, know, and agree how they measure their success in the simplest terms possible.
Business Lesson #4 from Red Tails –Know What Your Customers Want. For the Tuskegee Airman, their customers were the leadership of the European Bomber Command that was trapped in a seemingly ever-losing battle where they were losing more bombers and aircrew to German fighters. In a small, but moving scene, Colonel Bullard sat with Lieutenant General Luntz (played by Gerald McRaney) and reviewed gun camera film to determine precisely what LTG Luntz wanted and how the Red Tails could help. This was a classic "sales meeting" set up to determine customer needs and requirements and how the service provider could help.
Business Lesson #5 from Red Tails –Celebrate Your Successes & Learn with the Entire Team. The Tuskegee Airman used gun camera footage to help their entire unit celebrate their aerial victories and to educate new pilots and ground crew on the vital importance of everyone's mission. In Air Operations, it takes mechanics, planners, fueler's, weaponeer's, weatherman, and more to make a successful combat flight. The Tuskegee Airman used their gun camera footage to highlight victories and high light the importance of what the support personnel did. Furthermore, the gun camera footage acted as both an After Action Review (AAR) that highlighted: (1) what happened, (2) What went well, (3) What did not go well, and (4) What can we do to fix it? Finally, the gun camera footage served as a final point of education to show new pilots enemy tactics and what works to win. The use of team celebrations and AAR's convince the entire organization of what success is and how to improve.

There is a great piece on Yihui's site about using knitr with TeXShop. Taking some time for some self indulgent curiosity here. Is there a way to use knitr as an engine in TeXworks?
You can add knitr as additional engine into TeXworks similar as already shown on the linked demo page for Texmaker (note: I do not know knitr at all and also I'm not a regular user of TeXworks, so some mistakes are possible):
Edit: Yihui added instructions for TeXworks to the already mentioned page Editors for knitr.
Then you can choose this processing tool in the main window from the menu "Typeset" or from the toolbar popdown:

I often give the same advice over and over to programmers that I work with. Most of the time I give advice on things to do with regards to coding and that works out pretty well, but "don'ts" are just as important as the dos. Let's look at the 15 things a programmer should watch for. Most of these are geared toward object-oriented languages, but some can apply to procedural,functional languages as well.
- Don't forget the tenets of object-oriented programming, Inheritance, Encapsulation and Polymorphism.
- Don't overuse inheritance. Inheritance should make sense. Ask yourself about the relationship. If "is a", then you should inherit, if "has a" then it should be a relationship off the owner.
- Watch your method/function/subroutine lengths. If a method or function gets longer than 5-10 lines, you are probably missing an opportunity to abstract or extract functionality. The longer a method is, the more complex it will become exponentially.
- Before you start to "roll your own", spend some time looking for open source solutions or blog articles where someone solved this problem before. There is nothing wrong with leveraging someone else's hard work. Chances are someone else will take over your work at some point and it is easier for them if it is a solution that they can find support for by a Google search. Also, think about the testing, maintenance time with regards to rolling your own solution. Aside from that the chances that one person can produce a solution better than a community project is unlikely no matter how good you think you are.
- Don't hack. There is a lot to be said for code written during a time crunch, but more often than not, programmers will use this excuse to shortcut a solution and not take time to do it the way they know it should be done. You want the next programmer to look at your code and pat you on the back for your solution, not curse you in disgust.
- Don't forget about reusability. Think about every line of code you write. Ask yourself if what you are doing is going to be repetitive by you or someone else. If it is, then abstract it to a utility class and reuse it. Never just copy code from one place to another when you could extract it to a utility or utilize polymorphism to address the need.
- Don't use obscure variable names. It should be very clear what data a variable contains when another person looks at your code.
- Don't forget to ask for a code review or design review. No one is perfect. You should always walk through your code with a peer with both of you sitting side by side. Explain your rational, what techniques you used and ask the reviewer for recommendations. Two heads are better than one. Also, you should do this early and often. Don't wait until you finish a project to ask for a review because by then, it may be too late to fix.
- Don't use global or member variables when a local one would suffice. I've seen this a few times before. A junior programmer will scope their variables as wide as possible. This not only causes confusion when others look at the code, but it can cause unintended consequences in your applications.
- Don't forget about threading and thread-safety. Threading is a difficult concept for unseasoned programmers. It can bite you really quick if you don't think about it. Complex applications may have many threads accessing the same resources and if you're not concentrating on managing this, then you can get junk data, crashes and unexpected results. And DO NOT synchronize everything as a solution to thread safety, else performance will suffer.
- Don't code first and ask questions later. You should understand the problem domain and the goals you want to accomplish before you even write one line of code. Ideally, you will design the application and run through your mental sanity checks in your head well ahead of actually putting code onto a screen.
- Don't forget about unit testing. Unless you just enjoy spending hours and hours testing your application or sitting with your QA resource, you should unit test your code at the lowest levels and run these tests as regression tests along with your builds. Remember that a unit test is for very small bits of code. A unit test does not take the place of actual functional testing of your application, but it sure makes it easier.
- Don't forget to comment and don't over comment. If you want to provide yourself a hint, reminder or give that hint to another programmer, use a comment to make the point. Don't over comment your code either as too many comments are an indication of complexity and you need to revisit your code for simplification or refactoring.
- Don't forget to refactor your code as you go. If you see areas of your code you need to revise, do so as early an opportunity as possible. If you wait, the problem can be compounded by other code that utilizes it. Never wait until the end of a project to refactor, you will never get the chance and by then, it is a daunting task.
- Don't forget to layer and loosely couple. Do not forget to keep your code as loosely coupled as possible. A good strategy is to layer your code, e.g. DAO layer, service layer, integration layer, Controllers, UI layer, etc. For example, a UI Layer should never access classes directly from the DAO Layer, but should utilize the controllers to access data, which in turn access service layer and so on.
While this is not an all inclusive list, it does give a programmer a great advantage. Being a programmer is definitely about working smarter and not harder.

Fabric structure cuts costs and allows for business growth
Lauren Engineers & Constructors needed adequate space to maintain traceability and environmental control of their manufacturing materials at a manageable cost. What they had was one small storage building that did not meet their needs. The building stored items that required climate control, while the bulk of items that did not require climate control were stored on pallets outside in the yard. After researching fabric structures, the company was able to cheaply build enough square footage to allow for current and future needs.
Before installing the fabric structure, the outside storage of bulk materials caused increased business cost due to the amount of material cleaning required. Maintaining an accurate inventory was time consuming and costly. Glenn Garrison, manufacturing and facilities coordinator, says he was sold on fabric building reviews, quick construction timelines and the overall low advertised cost of the solution. The low cost allowed the company to build a larger structure than originally planned, permitting even more growth potential.
Since August 2009, the company has been using a 65-foot wide x 160-foot long fabric structure for all of their storage needs, and it is working out wonderfully.
"The natural lighting is perfect, even on cloudy days," says Garrison. "The inside temperature in the summer is a minimum of 10 degrees cooler, which is good when you have 100 degrees summer days we experience here."
Garrison also notes the ease of construction, the amount of usable space in the building footprint, the headroom to allow stackable shelving, and reduced installation and maintenance costs.
