2 Summary 1.Concepts & Usage 2.Behind the scenes…
3 Concepts & Usage
4 Mind-what ? >Diff: A tool for developers to compare documents >Text >Used between documents, or to view differences between commits of a source code repository, to create patches… >Mind (Visual) Diff >Text is OK but… -Needs time to read & understand changes, across multiple files >We like architecture visualizations !
5 For Who ? Why ? >Architects >Whiteboard vs Reality >Increments during development >Software updates >Product line differences -Linked to market(ing) demands >Difference measure Re-use measure >Developers >Divide & Conquer development -Easier integration of individual parts >Already used to textual diff… -Should be consulted for feedback >Everybody Improved team communication !
6 Composition Sample Binding target change >Diff >Line per line >No semantics >S2 -> S2 seems changed -But wasn't >S1 -> S1 becomes S1 -> S3 >Visual Diff Legend: Old – New – Type Change – No change
7 How ? >'Mind-diff' available in the Mind4SE nightlies since august 2014 >Expected first version in next stable release >Possible comparisons >Same repository, 2 applications mind-diff --src-path= –o Application1 Application2 >2 different repositories, same application mind-diff --base-src-path= --head-src-path="srcdir2" –o Application >2 different repositories, 2 different applications mind-diff --base-src-path= --head-src-path="srcdir2" –o App1 App2 >Note >Base = Old - Head = New >Open generated TopLevel.gv as usual with any 'mindot-viewer' version
8 Advanced features >Works with --flatten option >Global application changes - in one glance ! > >3 deleted components refined as 6 new components, 25 unchanged
9 Confidential Property of Schneider Electric Behind the scenes…
10 How: Plugin >A compiler-based tool >Contextualize target components (and their internals) in their respective repositories Visualization files C ADL ITF Mind Diff Mind compiler C ADL ITF GV Base Repo Head Repo Comp1 Comp2
11 Simple algorithm overview (Only Components shown as example, no Binding or Source or Interface) >Phase 1 >Load Base tree >Load Head tree >According to their respective repositories (context) >Phase 2 >Dual navigation >Full Result tree construction >Clone all old and new nodes -Decorated with old/new/changed info -Definition of "change": Same instance name, with different type names -No content comparison / matching -Links still functional (click to Eclipse) -Latest info preferred on change >Phase 3 >Serialization with custom GV generator Base (Remote sensor) Head (Remote display) Boot c0 Proxy Com c1 Sensor c2 Buffer c4 Sender c5 Boot c0 Stub Com c1 Display c6 Buffer c4 Receiver c7 Result Boot c0 Sensor c2 Buffer c4 Sender c5 Display c6 Receiver c7 Stub Com c1
12 Additional details and Perspectives >Current limitations & Proposed solutions >If between Base and Head a same composite definition has the same name but different sub- components, bindings etc, the information is not shown at the upper level (only name change is checked !) -You have to click on every composite to know -Or generate the "flatten"-ed comparison for a quick overview -Could be implemented with new node decoration, and rendering color in upper level ? >Same for interface types (definitions) (only name change checked) >Output content and style are not separated in our GV format -No late change of rendering at runtime (style, information selection) -Result tree serialization designed to be replaceable -SVG (XML), -Synthetic textual report, -JSON… >Other perspectives >Use the diff class from Mindoc HTML documentation generator to show differences between super-types, children types, siblings types ? >Generate a as a legend for each step ? >Need an appropriat full "movie" of architecture changes along a project's SCM history ? -Problem of root file possible changes -With commit message e renderer (web gallery ?)

Hurricane Cristobal strengthened further Tuesday morning, with its sustained winds reaching 75 mphs as it heads toward Bermuda.
The National Hurricane Center predicted Tuesday that Cristobal would pass to the northwest of Bermuda Wednesday. It was 590 miles southwest of the British territory, when the Hurricane Center released its 8 a.m. update.
Two men died in the Dominican Republican and two in Haiti, as they were caught in waterways flooded by Cristobal, the AP said. About 3,600 people were evacuated in the Dominican Republic over the weekend, but they had returned by Monday.
Cristobal's hurricane-force winds are extending 45 miles from the center, while tropical-force winds are reaching 205 miles out.

Not everyone in Kansas likes or has interest in the Missouri Football program.
A big part of it has to do with the heated rivalry that has developed over the years between the Jayhawks and the Tigers.
One exception to the rule is 2010 quarterback Blake Bell from Wichita Kansas. The Scout.com four star signal caller confirmed with InsideMizzou.com last week, he definitely has interest in the Missouri football program.
"I have a lot of interest in Missouri," Bell said. "I like their offense a lot, I have watched a lot of their games keeping up with family friend Chase Coffman's career."
The 6-foot-6, 215-pound prospect finished the 2008 season with over 3,200 yards passing with 37 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. He plans to wait a while before making a decision, but he could decide before the 2009 season.
The talented signal caller currently holds official offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Miami, Arizona and Colorado State.
"Missouri hasn't offered me yet, hopefully they will," Bell said. "They are sending me a lot of letters and showing a lot of interest so far."
Bell has grown up around football all of his life. His father Mark and his uncle Mike Bell both played in the NFL, the younger Bell grew up with a football in his hand.
"I love the game that's for sure," Bell said. "It was fun growing up around it all the time. We are big time Kansas City Chief fans, we go to most of their games."
Bell is looking forward to taking an unofficial visit to Columbia later this spring, he has heard nothing but great things about the campus and school from his Missouri friends.
While Bell admits liking Missouri, he is quick to point out another football program he is impressed with.
"I like Kansas a lot," Bell said. "They are probably my early favorite, but I plan on keeping an open mind and check out all the schools that offer me before making a final decision."
While Bell doesn't set a time table on making a decision, he won't hesitate to pull the trigger once he finds that perfect fit.
"If it comes to me, and I like the school I will make my decision," Bell said. "I could see myself making a decision before the start of next season."
"I am going to look at the coaches and academics. Football can only take you so far. I want to see how the offense is run and stuff like that."
Bell earned First team All-State honors last fall and was named Kansas' Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior.
Currently Bell has made plans to attend junior days at Oklahoma, Kansas and Kansas State.

So the answer to John's question would be depends on where the sentence is. Leavenworth, 20 to life! Quit running around with a dangling participle! That isn't his participle Let's go out a split a few infinitives while we're at it. "Better infinitives than hares." My Gran always says after Gramps goes rabbit hunting.(and you thought that was a typo ) Great another poll about grammar. There's no pleasing some people! Only that I figure this is a feature not to be abused, am I wrong? But you must realize that it revels in the abuse. I don't understand the question. Has that ever stopped any of us before? Honestly, I don't know which other languages do use such a grammatical structure, Give Linear B a test spin, then take Sanskrit out. The problem with English, you see, is that it's really poorly pronounced German Actually what we see as English, is the result of Norman knights trying to have sex with good Anglo Saxon lasses. |

Applying to study for an MPhil or PhD in Chemistry
If you missed our deadline of November 15th 2016 to be considered for Departmental and University Scholarship funding, there are a limited number of PhD opportunties available directly from supervisors in the Department. These are advertised at Job Opportunities (studentships) of the University and on the Chemistry Department website.
The guidelines below will remain on our website until the recruitment round is complete for this coming year. The application process for entry in October 2018 will be updated here in due course and is likely to be almost identical.
Prospective graduates students wishing to apply for an MPhil or PhD in Chemistry should apply online using the University's Applicant Portal which will include the Chemistry Department Application Form. For most applicants the University charges an application fee of £50 (payable on submission).
Important guidance: In order to be considered for the funding opportunities that the Chemistry Department has available as well as University scholarships, it is essential that your application reaches us by our internal deadline of 15th November 2016. You will notice that the Applicant Portal refers to a deadline date in June, please ignore this as it applies to applicants coming with their own funding. You only need to complete the "research experience' box in the 'Research' section of the online form, the other boxes can be marked 'n/a'. Your referees will have 7 days to upload their references and this additonal time should be factored into to application process. To ensure your application is received by the Department by our deadline we suggest getting your Applicant Portal submission complete before the end of the first week of November.
When your application is received by the Chemistry Department (after all Supporting Documentation has been uploaded e.g. Department application form, two references uploaded by your referees, and transcripts etc.) it will be circulated to any named potential supervisors and it will also be reviewed by the Research Interest Group (RIG) panel you selected on the Department application form. Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed. We intend to begin making offers early in January 2017. There is strong competition for funding and places.
Applicants who do not wish to apply for Departmental funding or University scholarships may apply at any time until June. However, early applications (by our internal deadline) are advised and are likely to receive priority.
Gates Scholarships: Should you be considering extending your application to cover the Gates Cambridge Scholarships through the University, you will also need to supply a research proposal (up to 1000 words) as part of your application. There are strict deadlines for these scholarships. Round 1 is for US candidates and that deadline is October 12 2016. Round 2 is December 7 2016 for citizens of all countries other than the USA (except for the United Kingdom) and US citizens normally resident outside the USA.
Please direct any requests for further guidance to our Graduate Student Advisor. If your are an EU student, the University has issued a BREXIT statement.
MPhil & Doctoral Training Programmes
In addition to the direct routes into research study, the Chemistry Department is also engaged with a number of MPhil and PhD training programmes. Many of these offer full funding for eligible and successful applicants. MPhils in Micro & Nanotechnology Enterprise and Scientific Computing, as well as PhDs in Nano Science & Technology, Materials, Graphene and Sensor Technologies are offered. PhDs are also available with Cambridge Earth System Science programme. For applicants looking for biological based research opportunities, the Chemistry Department is involved with a number of interdisciplinary programmes including those funded by the BBSRC, the Cambridge Cancer Centre. > Find out more. Doctoral Training Programmes that the Department is involved with may have earlier (or later) deadlines. Check the appropriate course details.
Financial Support
The Chemistry Department is able to support a limited number of eligible graduates with tuition fees and maintenance costs that are associated with their research studies. The wider University also offers many additional funding opportunities for both domestic and international students. > Find out more
43% of graduate students admitted [to the University] in 2014/15 received a scholarship or bursary from funds administered by the collegiate University, 41% of these students received a full award that covered both fees and living costs."
International students
The Chemistry Department has a large international population of researchers. All prospective graduate applicants are advised to check current criteria set out by the University regarding English language requirements, international qualifications and visas before applying.

Archive for the 'personal growth' Category
Each of us have a indwelling divine presence that offers guidance, power, and security
We have been told:
- Everyone has the Buddha within. Siddhārtha Gautama 550BC
- Nor will they say "Look here" or Look there" for the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21
- We found the Great Reality deep down within. In the final analysis, it was only there that He may be found. (AA Big Book 3rd Ed.)
- Every human being has a "fragment of God" within—and a birthright to claim this spiritual force. (Urantia Book)
Each of us has been given a direct link to the creator of the universe; however, activating and using this connection is wholly dependent on the individual's choice and actions. Our power of choice is the supreme and sovereign power in the universe. We can choose to reject this wonderful guide and energy; we can superficially accept it as an idea that has some merit, allowing it to "sometimes" contribute to our life; or, we may fully embrace this great reality. It's our choice and the rewards reaped in this life, the quality of this life, directly depend on this decision and the subsequent action to open the channel that allows this life-changing power to flow into our life.
Prayer: my loving, compassionate inner spirit, my friend who wants only the best for me, help me aware of your existence in my heart, mind and soul this day ; awaken me to the reality of your presence, power, and love. Help me to choose and act so that I may flourish, prosper and grow according to your plan and be a living testimony of the power and love of God abroad in this universe.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.
The good is often the enemy of the best; we can settle for mediocrity or strive for excellence
Settling for the good, or even the mediocre, has a definite ingrained appeal; indolence and procrastination are a part of the animalistic side of our human nature. Choosing to do as little as possible gives us an easier life. But settling leads us to accepting mediocrity in relationships, careers, and all areas of our life. Fredrick Douglas said "As a general rule, where circumstances do most for men, there man ill do least for himself; and where man does least, he is least. His doing or not doing makes or unmakes him."
Choosing to excel gives us a chance to enjoy the best life on the planet but also introduces potential pitfalls. We must exert a continuous effort, but not become a slave to struggle; we strive for the best, but try not to waste effort solving unimportant problems; we have to act, but avoid becoming a control fanatic—trying to make things happen our way, in our time and with the results we want. We grow to accept the inevitable mistakes, overcome adversity, and see disappointment as opportunity. We do not settle for mediocrity or complacency
Prayer: My supreme creator, parent and friend, guide me to realize that I only have this one life and have been given the power to choose how I will spend each day. Help me accept strenuous effort, challenges, and even adversity as opportunities to excel, as chances to become stronger, and as the opening to a better life. It is my will that your will be done.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.
Make a "to be" list in addition to a "to do" list.
We get so caught up in living the rat race that we forget to actually live. We develop patterns—the mental-emotional response habits—that continually produce stress, anxiety, worry, and fear. We rush about, cramming as much activity as possible into each day; then, we crash, take a mood-altering chemical to help us relax and feel better or to sleep; and then get up the next day and do the same thing. Day after day after day. Yes we must earn a living and take care of certain necessities. But the art of living—the method of achieving the highest quality life—includes being the best version of our self and not just simply filling the day with actions.
A "to be" list might help. Perhaps today, make a commitment to be more tolerant, compassionate, loving, patient, cheerful, kind or gentle; perhaps just pick one or two values that are important to you. The "to be" list can also include specific actions that move us to fulfill the desired value. For example if we want to be more loving, we commit to a definite act that will demonstrate love this day—we can show one person how much we value him or her, that we are grateful they share our life; we can extend an act of kindness without expecting anything in return; we can offer a hug, a massage, or prepare a special meal.
Prayer: My dear loving spiritual guide, companion, and inner power, melt the hurry in my mind and soul this day. Help me be aware of values in addition to things; help me look for opportunities to practice the principles that are important to me; strengthen my resolve to take an action that reflects my true values. It is my will that your will be done.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.
I participate in gossip by talking—or listening. Without the listener, gossip dies
Do I have an inner void, a feeling of emptiness that makes me feel 'less than' other people? Is gossip one of my ways to compensate for this? Do I talk about other people? Do I share a confidence just to flout that I know something another person does not know? Must I try to harm another's image with my words or implications just so I will feel better about myself? Or have I matured enough to realize that the act of demeaning another person, breaking a confidence, or diminishing someone's value with my words reflect my own lack of integrity? Do I accept that many such acts are just efforts to build my value in my own eyes?
Finally, have I acknowledged the truth that listening to any such damaging talk indicates my immaturity? I only listen because either: 1) I agree with what is said, 2) I take vicarious pleasure in demeaning a another person, 3) I need this unhealthy communication to fill my inner void to make me feel better; or 4) I am afraid to stand for my values that do not agree with such acts. Not a single one of these motives contribute to my growth; all will lead to continued mediocrity or misery. I must learn to walk away, to cease any participation in gossip.
Prayer: Dear God, my loving and powerful inner guide, deliver me from participation in any act which leads me to lessen the value of any other person or decreases my integrity. Make me immediately aware if I participate in any form of gossip; give me the strength and guidance to handle all such situations with the tact and truth that shields my soul from harm while presenting a growth opportunity for all participants.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence
Character growth or character building? One follows the natural path; the other is doing it my way.
Building indicates that I have the blueprint, that I am the planner and the "doer"; growth infers that I am willing to plant the seed, nurture and water it with the right thoughts and actions, and let God and nature decide the direction and timing of my natural growth.
We've reached that point where we recognize certain actions, attitudes, and words that cause discontent or misery; we become willing to shed these traits and replace them with higher values and actions. Then, comes the hard part: we must release the control over how and when this happens; we cannot force spiritual growth or emotional maturity to follow our plan. We ask our inner spirit source for help, guidance and strength to become the best version of our self; we acknowledge that this source of infinite power and love can do for us what we cannot do for our self; we know that this mighty expulsive energy can cleanse us, removing all obstacles to growth; we allow ourselves to develop according to the divine plan, the plan which opens the door to infinite possibilities and benefits instead of following our self-directed scheme. The act is ours; the consequence, God's.
Prayer: My divine and infinite loving companion, I give you myself this day. Remove from me any thought, word or deed that impedes my effectiveness for you or for helping anyone; fill me with your divine wisdom and strength; nurture the things, meanings, and values that I need; let the water of your love refresh my soul and generate growth guided by you.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.

But the French spit all over their silly English twin study.

Dog vs. Cat…working on attention & impulse control
Annyong has been with me just over a month now. I've been following my own protocols to the letter: Crate & leash only for at least 2 weeks- inside & out of the house. He's been out of the crate on drop leash, proving he will listen to me if I say his name. I give commands on leash & practice his obedience. I have taken him in fenced in yard & practiced on drop leash name & recall, coming back to me with high value food reward, coupled with a low level e-collar (5 works good for him usually). He has been doing AMAZING. Except…. he still wants to eat the dreaded evil cat! (video below)
On the first day here, the cat walked near his crate, probably not even noticing him. The dog blew up & he hasn't been in the area since. Now whenever the dog catches a glimpse of the cat, he lights up, but milder & stops almost instantly. Over the last week or so, the cat has been joining us in the living room again, on the opposite side of the crated dog. (When I have him out of the crate, I make sure the cat is behind a closed door. #1 keeps him safe, #2 keeps dog from losing focus). Remember: avoid what you can't control, train what you can. One of the first times I had dog out of crate, showing him how to relax & chill with me, the cat wandered out & he went to an intense focus I couldn't break him out of. I had to end the session as he was past the point of coming back to a calm enough state he could be out.
So now that the dog has settled in & is under better control & making better decisions, I see if I can get his attention when the cat is in sight. I wish I'd recorded this from the start, as the cat was only a few feet eating to begin with. Annoying showed interest, but didn't freak out. Because he didn't freak out, the cat didn't run. Because the cat didn't run, the dog didn't freak out…you get the picture. So I pulled out the video & recorded keeping his attention while the cat was in the background. This is a first. Them being in the same area together. At one point you may notice his ears go forward & he gets a little intense, I tap his e-collar (level 15 for this, probably could have gone lower). He chills & goes back to eating.
I will continue with this now daily until I can control the dog's attention & intensity around the cat. As I progress, I will bring him toward cat, call him away (on leash
& ecollar), add some movement on the cat so it doesn't trigger dog past the point I can control his attention…
I haven't seen the dog mean harm to any person or dog yet, even though he came to me after breaking out of a fenced in yard & attacking 2 dogs & going ballistic when company came (previous owner). And wanting to eat their cat. I've seen him slip out of my car & charge at a dog on day 3 with me & run right past the dog & lay down. Most people would have been upset it happened. I was relieved he didn't do anything. It proved he didn't want to harm anyone as if he wanted to, he would have. He's a good dog. And he's mine. And I love him. Stay tuned.
Sit On The Dog
Sit on the Dog
by Jill Priest & Laurie Wagner (originated by Margot Woods)
If you only do ONE exercise with your dog, it's this one.
Not sit. Not stay. Not even come.
This exercise will do more to create a bond and build a relationship of trust & tranquility with your dog than any other.
In order to help your dog learn that you will not be available to entertain him at all times, and to teach him that he is expected to calm down and be well-behaved during those moments, we will introduce the long down, or "sit on the dog" exercise.
"Sit on the dog" is deceptively easy: place your dog on his leash, then sit on it, allowing him just enough length to lie quietly at your feet with a little bit of tension on the leash. (If you have a large or particularly active dog, you may want to wrap the leash around one leg after you've sat on it.) And then ignore your dog for 30 minutes. That's it.
Be sure to "sit on the dog" when you are working on something else: watching television, reading the newspaper, working on the computer. You must do the exercise for a minimum 30 minutes, at least once, and preferably twice a day, after the structured walk. It is helpful to have each family member practice the "sit on the dog" exercise. It may take a little while, but you will find that your dog will settle quietly at your feet, and learn that when he wants your attention, sometimes he will just have to wait.
If your dog does anything for attention, you are to ignore him. If he climbs up on you, chews the leash, mouths your hand, or anything else that is inappropriate, grab the leash next to the collar and put steady, gentle downward pressure on the leash – no talking or touching the dog allowed! Continue to provide this pressure until he settles again, and continue with the "sit on the dog" exercise. The 30 minutes begins AFTER your dog settles down. This means the first few times you do the exercise, it may last as long as 45 minutes or an hour – some dogs have lasted even longer than that. Take heart – your dog will soon learn to settle very quickly.
The "sit on the dog" exercise often feels like you are "not doing anything" with your dog, and people are sometimes tempted to not do it. To skip this exercise is to deny your dog the gift of self-confidence, self-control, and "doggy zen." It teaches your dog how to calm himself down by choice, it teaches him to defer to you when you are not able to pay attention to him, and it teaches him that yes, he is fully capable of relaxing quietly, something puppies can have a hard time learning. "Sit on the dog" is an excellent exercise for achieving the overall leadership role you should have with your dog.
I did this today with my new dog, Annyong:
Watch this time lapse video to see before your eyes how by not talking or touching him he settles. At one point the cat comes out (his current nemesis) but we start over & he settles back down. This is a POWERFUL tool.
Here is Margot's cute pictoral.

Thinking of A Dog's Needs Before My Own
So this dog had been OBSESSED with his previous owner. Now he does not need me to love him up so he replaces one addiction with another. To feed him a normal amount of attention would be disastrous for him. So I give him an occasional kiss or two here & there. I haven't said more than a few words to him. I changed his name so I say his name a few times a day. And I'm teaching him "go potty" in a certain spot in the yard. That's about it. So he's more apt to listen to me when I do speak. We all know plenty of people that never shut up and we tune them out, right? So because I'm not filling his head with constant chatter I have his full attention when I do speak.
This dog does not need love right now. He needs peace, stability & lots of structure. Tough love so he learns independence & that he can stand on his own 4 paws. When he is in a better place, I will gradually give him love, making sure it doesn't excite him too much. Preventing him from transferring his obsession from one owner to the next. I have to be a bit distant. I can do this though. Every time he starts to panic & obsess over me I shut down all emotions & eye contact. He's doing well, better than expected by a long shot. Our few kisses so far have been delightful! I can't wait for more! But this isn't about me & my needs right now. This is about him & his.
I had a 9 month old poodle pup recently in. Had been with owners only a few months. Left the breeder at like 5 months. Why so late? Was he returned? Planned on breeding, but they had problems & decided to sell him? I don't remember the answer, but those questions went through my mind. But the crux of the matter is he was acting out at home- in his new home without any dogs. He was impossible to walk & would react when he saw a dog, pulling & clamoring, making a scene when he didn't get his way. What did this dog need? Did he need to learn commands & walk nicely on a loose leash? Yes. But I believe if you give the dog what he NEEDS, he gives you back tenfold what you WANT- attention, respect, obedience, manners. So instead of working him on leash a lot day 1, I worked him a bit so he wasn't so resistant & was a bit connected to me. Then I brought him into the day care to give him what he needed- to be back with dogs! He'd lived with a pack of dogs for his first 5 months & then isolated from dogs the next 4. That's a huge component why he was behaving so poorly. By giving him some play time, he was then able to shake off some pent up energy & frustration & then I was able to get him to pay attention to me on the next walk a hundred times better.
Over the summer an owner came to me with her dog that was impossible to walk. He pulled like crazy, especially when he saw another dog. And because the dog was so impossible to walk, she didn't walk him. She just found it easier to leave him in the fenced in yard. So that bandaid didn't last long. As the dog became more & more frustrated in the yard, he one day climbed the fence & attacked another dog. And another, and another. The fact that he was being confined to a huge fenced in yard was the root of all of this. Dogs aren't meant to live behind 4 walls any more than we are as humans. It's called house arrest & is a prison sentence. But too many dogs live like this day in & day out. And they bark & bark & bark… out of boredom & frustration. So this dog came to me & did I demand he focus on me 100% & learn a perfect heel & not to pull on the leash? Heck no. This poor dog hadn't been out of his 4 walls in almost a year! So I took him for a long walk along the grassy area across the street from us. I let him sniff & sniff & sniff until his heart's content. Eventually as he started to pull to sniff I squeezed the leash a bit & he stopped pulling. Repeated the process until he finally showed some interest in me & then built on that. The next walk I introduced food to him. So he would pull on the leash, I'd squeeze the leash tight & he'd come back. I'd immediately release the tension on the leash & give him some kibble. It took a day to get him to where I wanted him to be, but I felt I got more by starting off by giving. I gave him some freedom to explore & satisfy his need to sniff & take in nature. And he thanked me for it with some amazing attention & I now have a great new friend out of it. 🙂
Day 5: First Walk With Both Dogs
So these dogs haven't officially met yet. They drove home in the car together but tied back so they couldn't reach each other. Gotta keep things safe!
First walk with a new dog. Dog on right (red slip leash) is Ziva. I've had her 7 years & she was also an owner surrender. She was one of the toughest dogs I've ever met. I learned so much from her though! It's making my new dog Annyong (left, blue leash) seem like a cake walk. He was also an owner surrender. Both dogs were very challenging, beyond the owners' skill sets. It's very important to chose a dog that matches your skill set.
So I first had them walk on either side of me. They weren't allowed to sniff each other.
Annyong looking pretty chill. Ears to the side, mouth open, softer eyes, no tension on leash. This is huge progress!
Now a half hour later they are a little more settled. I'm allowing them to walk more closely but still no sniffing. I want them to both be calm & settled before they formally meet. Probably another day or 2.
Day 2: Turning a Difficult Dog Into a Well Behaved one
I waited as long as it took for him to show an interest in me before I gave him any attention. It took a day but I would have waited a week… He didn't have any interest in me yesterday, so I didn't force myself on him. Trying too hard can get you bit. So today he looked up at me, in my eyes for the first time. Bingo! Look who is my new friend!
Also, I changed his name. He is looking at me now when I say his name more than most people's dogs look at them. Why? Because I haven't spoken to him yet, so when I did, my words had more value. Most people I meet talk their dogs ears off & wonder why they don't listen to them. We all know someone who talks incessantly & what do we do? Tune them out right? Our dogs will do the same to us if we talk too much. The only words I've said to him so far are his new name & "go potty". So when I speak he looks at me. This is an awesome start. Stay tuned for more! Feel free to post any questions!
How To Turn A Difficult Dog Into A Well-Balanced Dog cont.
Day 1, evening
Wrapping up Day 1. Brought him home on leash in my car. In case he ran around like crazy, I could grab leash. He will ALWAYS be on a training collar until I fully trust him 100% (think several months, not days or weeks). Why? He may slip out of a regular collar. Especially a nervous dog. See it all the time.
He got home. Walked him around potty area in my FENCED in yard on leash. Yes even though my yard is fenced he is still on leash. Why? Because I can't control him yet. He could run around my yard like a maniac & I would end up chasing him looking like a fool. He is also learning where I want him to potty so my yard won't be one giant toilet. My dog Ziva goes out front door "go out back" & she goes around the house to potty out back.
Next, the crate. He goes from door to crate. Yes I practice what I preach. He went straight to the crate where he will be only allowed for at least a few days. When he is a little more settled he'll be out of crate next to me on leash only. Gradual freedom is the best way to a well-behaved dog. Once you give your dog freedom without it being earned, it is hard to take that back.
I hope you all are learning, enjoying these posts. This is not just a "look how easy/fast I can turn a dog around". Or "look how great I am for taking in a dog in need". On the contrary I'm hoping to show you how much work goes into making a good dog. My dog Ziva started off worse than all your dogs combined! But by doing my due diligence she turned into an amazing dog. It takes effort but isn't miraculous by any stretch. Ok good night & more tomorrow.
How To Turn A Difficult Dog Into A Well-Balanced Dog
Day 1, 30 minutes after surrender
Meet my new dog Annyong. Owner surrendered him to me because he was beyond her skill level (he's a tough dog).
I haven't even touched him yet & won't until he wants me to. He has no interest in me. Only searching & going back to his family. Very sad. What I do is paramount to his peace of mind, which will eventually transition him from difficult dog to safe dog.
- I will wait until he shows an interest in me before pushing myself on him.
- I'm across the street in the train parking lot avoiding any activity that could cause a reaction from him. Why? I want to set him up for success rather than set him up for a correction. He isn't ready for distractions yet. When he is, I will do it slowly.

Really, I only had to watch this movie's trailer to know that I'd fall in love with it... the story's just so bittersweet, and pretty much every frame is a work of art. I was actually getting emotional by the end of it, but the only thing that really makes me cry is 1 Litre of Tears. EVERY TIME.
Anyway, I finished my exams this week so year 11's finally done and dusted! While I have freedom I plan on lots of sleeping, eating, and shopping for stationery in the hope that it'll motivate me to study. That may sound like an excuse, but from experience, you can never have too much stationery... *cue evil laugh* Enjoy your holidays, everyone!

Dalo Radius support - Exporting Data Usage into Excel file
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 4
Project Description
Skills Required:
MySql, Free Radius, PHP/Perl
We are using a radius server called Freeradius which authenticates the users and receives accounting updates from the NBN access concentrator.
The accounting data is being updated correctly and can be accessed without issue from the MySQL database backend.
The difficulty I am facing is that the accounting data is incremental, and increments every 15 minutes, so when the updates are sent to the radius server, and subsequently SQL, the usage counters continue to increase until the user logs off and then a new session is started, whereby the counters reset to zero.
What we need to obtain is actually the difference between the last entry for usage and the current one, then log that to a different table in the database so that we can report on it more accurately.
I have been working with trigger scripts in SQL to pick up when a record is being updated and then run a script to update the information into different fields in that table, the problem is that the trigger function doesn't seem to be able to differentiate between the individual records that are being updated, or the data which is coming through doesn't identify it properly, so it does multiple updates to the table at once, and I am seeing duplicated data being written.
There are other options which use MySQL procedures, but they seem to complicate matters more than simply intercepting the update and writing it somewhere else as well.
This really all comes about due to a requirement from the our system where it needs to get an update every hour with usage stats.
The issue with this is that if the user remains logged in for multiple days, which is likely and normal, then the usage stats won't get updated using the method we have already until they have logged out, or we kick their session off.
This is due to the way we look for the accounting data now, we currently look for a start time and date, and an end time and date, and gather the accounting data from the date range.
If we can determine how much data they are using from each accounting update then we can accurately report on the usage.
So to summarise:
The access concentrator sends accounting (usage) data to radius, it then logs that to MySQL Database
We need to intercept that accounting update and determine the difference between the current usage value in SQL, assuming it's lower, and write the difference between the current value and the new value to a different table along with the username, this has to be recorded for upload (inoctets) and download (outoctets).
Once we can get that working it will be a simple matter of updating our PHP script to read that data and export it to a CSV file to be FTP'd to the people hosting the billing system, they will then import the CSV file into their system.
I have already written the scripts to do this and tested them, but I need more accurate data to implement them properly, so hopefully you can help determine how we can intercept that update and grab the updated figures each time.

text: Form Better Spending Habits With This Three-Second ExperimentKristin Wong4/25/16 10:30amFiled to: moneypersonal financespendingspending habitssaving moneyspending moneymindfulness127EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Money is a tool, not a goal, and you get more out of it when you spend it on the stuff that matters to you most. The problem is, it's easy to spend without giving it much thought. To get a better idea of your habits, try author Carl Richards' 30-day, three-second experiment. To pay more attention to your discretionary spending, Richards suggests trying an experiment for 30 days in which you take a few seconds after every purchase, look at your receipt, and simply state what you've spent. Advertisement Advertisement This isn't designed to get you to stop spending money at all. It's just designed to get you to notice. We're trying really hard not to resist spending, not to judge spending. We just want to notice it for 30 days. Just take three seconds...You just look at the receipt and go, "Interesting. I just spent $79 at Whole Foods." That's it. That's the end of the exercise...It needs to be immediately right as you're doing it, or right after you're doing it.It's so simple, but that's the idea: to take a short moment to process what you've spent. Ideally, after a month of doing this, you'll be a little more aware of your habits. Sure, you could just review your budget and do the same thing, but this forces you to think about it a bit more in the moment, as it's happened.

In commit b8681e8 the implementation is ICollection
(-conj [coll entry]
(if (vector? entry)
(-assoc coll (-nth entry 0) (-nth entry 1))
(reduce -conj coll entry)))
Thus, e.g., (-conj {} "foo") results in an infinite recursion, and a stack overflow. This causes things like (merge {} "foo") to fail for the same reason. Not sure what the purpose of the not-vector branch could be. I can't think of a situation where it would give a useful result. Maybe it could throw a more helpful error message. |

Comment by Michał Marczyk [ 22/Apr/14 6:13 AM ] |
This actually applies to all three map types. (In fact, in (-conj {} "foo"), the map is an array map.) In Clojure, conj on a map works with a number of argument types: 1. map entries; 2. two-element vectors; 3. seqables of map entries. The final case is, perhaps surprisingly, the oldest one. Merging maps falls under it, since for map arguments it boils down to merge minus special treatment of nil (merge uses conj to merge pairs of maps); but arbitrary seqables of map entries are supported. (NB. these must be actual map entries, not two-element vectors!) This allows one, for example, to filter a map and conj the result of that into another map. So, we want to support the legitimate use cases while maybe complaining about code that wouldn't work in Clojure if it's not too much of a problem performance-wise. An example of a call that we'd probably like to throw: {{(conj {} (list (list [:foo 1])))}}. The attached patch makes the -conj implementations in all the map types use an explicit loop in the non-vector branch and adds some test for the resulting behaviour. |

With patch 0001 (3d4405b), map conj fails for seqs, that don't implement -next. (merge {:a 1} (hash-map :b 2)) ;;=> Error: No protocol method INext.-next defined for type cljs.core/NodeSeq: ([:b 2]) ... at cljs.core.PersistentArrayMap.cljs$core$ICollection$_conj$arity$2 (http://localhost:6030/:15569:42) ... |
Comment by Herwig Hochleitner [ 06/May/14 6:46 AM ] |
I guess implementing INext is not part of the contract for ISeqable.-seq, which means NodeSeq doesn't have to implement it, right? Attached patch 0002 uses next instead of -next and adds tests for map-entry seqs not implementing INext |
Comment by Michał Marczyk [ 06/May/14 3:04 PM ] |
Good catch, thanks! Another approach would be to use reduce, hopefully benefiting from IReduce speed boosts. Of course we'd need to use a custom reduction function wrapping -conj with a vector? check. The attached patch implements this. |
Comment by Michał Marczyk [ 06/May/14 3:49 PM ] |
Actually, scratch the part about IReduce speed boosts – sorry for the confusion! Having run better benchmarks with the two patches on a recent build of V8 and I have to say that there doesn't seem to be much of a difference and actually the next-based approach comes out ahead sometimes. In Clojure, a hand-rolled loop-based "map-seq-conj" loses to a hand-rolled reduce-based impl consistently, as far as I can tell, although only by ~3-5%. I've been conj-ing seqs over vectors of vectors, which should be friendly to reduce. |
Comment by Herwig Hochleitner [ 08/May/14 4:10 AM ] |
Despite no direkt speed boost in benchmarks, I'm fond of using reduce here. GC Pressure is hard to benchmark. |
Comment by David Nolen [ 08/May/14 6:18 PM ] |
going to go with the next based patch. |

Eileen JohnsonThe spirits sing and dance under the glow of the whirling star. I used quite a few of my photos in this image, most of them are changed significantly from the original image. The mountains all started from an image of Mount Rainier I shot out of an airplane window. The spirits are my daughter Rachel, who danced in the living room and allowed me to shoot photos and use her image. I believe the sky and water were both from a photo I took of Lake Coeur D'Alene in Idaho. The star is 100% Photoshop.

Former professional cycling champion Vinod Punamiya reached Mumbai, claiming to have completed the distance of 1485 km from India Gate, Delhi to Gateway of India here in 31 hours on bicycle.
The 53-year-old Punamiya set off from Delhi at 7 am on Saturday and reached the Gateway of India at 2 pm, delayed by an hour thanks to heavy traffic from Andheri (in Mumbai) onwards, he said.
His aim was to make it in 30 hours. "We reached Mumbai in 30 hours but from Andheri to Gateway of India we got stuck in traffic and wasted an hour," said Punamiya.
After his latest feat, a tired but elated Punamiya said, "I am very happy and proud to have completed the distance in 31 hrs.
I had been practising for a whole year, doing daily runs of 500 to 600 km along with Sanjay Borde, another former cyclist." Elaborating on his cycling journey, Punamiya said he used an Italian cycle 'Organ', for this event.
He also said he got cramps in his leg when he reached Udaipur, but pushed ahead after strapping up the leg. "With only 100 km remaining to complete, I thought I will not be able to do it, because I was peddling with only one leg, but I was determined to go on and managed to complete the distance," said Punamiya.

Unlimited Corruption
Published on web at: 2010-12-16 08:53:23 +05:30. Section:
Corrupt country: that is how the common Indians name their dear motherland. Citizens of other civilized nations also refer to us in no pleasing terms. To know the details refer to reports of The Transparency International.
The common perception is that politicians are corrupt from top to toe. The so-called economic reform and globalisation have opened the floodgates of rampant corruption; norms are being flouted, time-honoured principles are being neglected, morality and ethical principles have been banished and common people are being taken for a ride.
Last year wrong doings of Shashi Tharoor, the central minister, were brought to light and he was shown the door. Then the Adarsh Apartments scam in Maharashtra claimed the head of the state chief minister. Now the mother of scams namely 2G scam is hitting the headlines. Beneficiary of this scam is Tata Teleservices, which paid a paltry sum of Rs 1600 crore for the 404 MHz spectrum. The DMK's representative in Coalition Central Cabinet, Mr A. Raja was the man being held responsible for giving the facility to Ratan Tata headed Tata Teleservices. Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) Report lifted the lid from this infamous scam that Raja chose not to auction the offer but preferred Tata Teleservices which resulted in colossal loss to the exchequer. It is estimated that an auction could have brought between Rs 900 to 20,000 crore. In November 2008 Tata Teleservices sold 26 per cent stake of this deal to Japanese telecom firm Docomo for $2.8 billion making a very fat profit out of this single deal. Raja is responsible for showing special favour to Tata ahead of 343 applicants. Income Tax Department's secret phone tapes have revealed how a socialite and power broker Niira Radia played a crucial role in procuring information and passing it to her clients for reaping illegal benefits. Only a part of the tapes of conversation between Radia and Ratan Tata has been revealed (only 104 out of 5800 tapes have been released). Remaining tapes may reveal more damaging details. Rattan Tata has rushed to Supreme Court under the plea that his privacy and private conversation are being violated. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Politicians wield power and often do it with self-interest and not for public good. Unfortunately their necks are so big that the long arm of law fails to catch hold of these.
Judiciary was looked at as the last resort to save the country from corruption. But corruption has seeped into the venerated institution also. Prashant Bhushan, the whistle blowing senior advocate and human rights activist, who is credited with unravelling this mother of all scams, had caused a stir when he alleged that out of 16 Chief Justices of Supreme Court half were corrupt and to prove his point he has filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court.
The nagging question before the honest Indian is what to do when justice and fair play have gone to wild beasts and the country is left with no help, bewildered and perplexed. Turning to God, rejuvenating the ethical principles and inculcating the sense of responsibility and accountability before God is the solution. Only this can save us from moral degeneration and certain destruction.

PB Nest Knock Off
When I saw a Pottery Barn nest decoration in their catalog, I was reminded that I still had an old Robin's nest out in the garage from last Spring and decided to make my version of this. The first thing you want to do if using a real bird's nest is bag it and then put it in your freezer for a few days. This will kill any little "creatures" that may be hiding in it! I went out in the yard to find some sticks and I decided to combine a red branch and a gray branch. I laid them out on the table and once I had them arranged the way I wanted, I used twine to secure them together.
For the little moss-covered balls, I used foam balls from the Dollar Store (I got 6 of nice, varying sizes in one bag). I got out my bag of sheet moss and dumped all of the "dregs" onto a piece of cardboard and spread them out. (This is a great way to use up all of those little pieces that aren't in a sheet anymore!) I applied Elmer's Glue in sections and then rolled the balls into the moss pieces, adding more glue and rolling some more.
After they dried for just a few minutes, I rolled and pressed them with my hands to get a nice, round shape. It's messy but the results are worth it I think!
Next I needed to secure the nest to the branches. Now real nests can be tricky because they usually have hard, dried mud in them but if you remove too much, the nest will fall apart. So I pulled some of the mud away from the bottom and then using butcher's twine and a large needle, I "sewed" the nest to make it more solid.
Then using the same string and needle, I "sewed" the nest to the branches until it was nice and secure.
The eggs were old wooden eggs I already had so I spray painted them gray and then using a little craft mister, speckled them and using hot glue put them and the moss-covered balls into the nest. I added a little sheet moss with hot glue to parts of the nest and the branches. I have a lot of dried roses so I decided to also add one to the piece. I also wedged a few pieces of twine it to give it a more 'natural' look.
The last thing I did was add a few cardboard circles, covered with decorative paper to the back. This was mainly to protect the furniture from the scratchy sticks and nest.
The Pottery Barn Version: $24.00
My Version: $1.00 (that was for the foam balls which I didn't already have)

No. 12 Provincetown, MA
The locals in this gay-friendly vacation town—with its abundance of B&Bs and salty seaside charm—impressed readers for being physically fit, and for speaking with Bahston-influenced accents. Keep pace with couply activities like pedaling the Province Lands Bicycle Trail, which has sweeping views of Cape Cod Bay. The city also landed in the top 10 for its memorable souvenirs, like a book of poetry from Provincetown Bookshop or Cabot's Candy fudge, and No. 6 for vacation homes. P-town love transcends a mere seasonal fling.
Carly Holbrook came to Aspen, CO, for the Winter X Games, but left with the love of her life.
The public relations exec recalls meeting her future husband after a free concert, a few cocktails, and some impromptu salsa dancing. "As he walked me back to my friend's house later that night," Holbrook beams, "I will never forget the fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky, and street lamps illuminating the charming Main Street. Aspen will always be one of my magical spots."

She's not the only one who swoons over this A-list mountain town. Travel + Leisure's fans and followers ranked Aspen among the best spots for romance in our inaugural America's Favorite Towns survey; readers nominated favorites on social media via the hashtag #TLTowns and then ranked the resulting 744 picks in 55 categories.
To calculate the most romantic towns across America, we looked at the most lover-friendly categories: brunch spots, bakeries, farmers' markets, wine scenes, and idyllic, picnic-friendly parks, as well as gay friendliness and, of course, romantic hotels. And in a bid to weed out noisy kids, we gave points to the least family-friendly of the lot.

Not Your Grandmother's Brussels
Wash 'em and cut off a bit of the ends, removing outer leaves. Slice in half (unless they are tiny) and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Place cut side down on cookie sheet. Normally I pop them in the oven at about 375 degrees, turning after about 20 minutes and cooking for another 10 (or 'til tender ... but don't overcook!). Add a little grated parmesan, if you'd like and cook a few minutes longer. They get so crispy and yummy, I swear it's better than french fries.
This week, since our oven went kaput and we are waiting on the part to arrive (here's to hoping that does the trick!), I roasted them in my cast iron skillet on the stove-top. Once the cut sides start to brown and turn golden, start tossing and cook 'til done.
Sigh. Did I mention these are really good?

I bet they're great grilled, too!! When I grill veggies, I put them in a container or baggie with whatever oil or mixture I put over them, like a marinade, then put the grill pan on the grill to heat up. Then I put the veggies on the pan over the grill so that it won't dump all over the counter...learned that one the hard way lol. Anyway, thanks for the recipe, will definitely try it out.
Donna I've made these and they are indeed yummy, even for a brussels-sprouts disdainer like me! I even fooled the kids into trying them by telling them they were "chou-chous" -- the French name, I believe. It actually worked! They won't eat brussels sprouts, they tell me, but they'll take chou-chous.
I think almost anything is better with olive oil, salt and pepper! (Chocolate excepted, of course.)
