Last week, I attended a convening of Hope Street Group teacher fellows from across the state. There are 30 of us who are all dedicated to elevating teachers' voices in this state. On the first day of the convening, I was blessed to participate in a listening session over state testing with Dr. Candice McQueen, the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE). She will travel around the state and conduct more of these listening sessions so that teachers can tell her directly how the state can improve its system of evaluating students.
Many great ideas were expressed in this listening session, the details of which I don't want to publicize at this time because education policy is a tricky thing. Nothing is ever changed solely in isolation without affecting something else. I don't know how many of the good ideas that we expressed are actionable, but I left that session feeling confident that Commissioner McQueen listened to them intently.
Lunch quickly followed this listening session, and at my lunch table we continued to discuss the weighty topic of evaluation, which veered into a discussion on how teachers and schools are evaluated.
Most teachers across the state are evaluated using the Tennessee Educator Acceleration Model, or TEAM. In a nutshell, this model that is used for classroom observations uses a rubric that lists characteristics in several different domains on a 1, 3, or 5 level, with 5 being the highest. After the teacher's lesson is evaluated, there is a post-conference where the teacher meets with the evaluator (usually a principal) and the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson are discussed. Classroom observation(s) comprise 50% of a teacher's overall evaluation score for that year, which is also on a scale of 1-5. According to TDOE, the TEAM evaluation model improves the quality of education and teachers feel more positive about it than ever. Anecdotally, no one at my table--nor any other teacher that I have ever talked to about the TEAM model--could support that notion. The way teachers are evaluated in this state is ridiculously flawed.
Schools have been graded using a school report card for a number of years now. New to this report card (thanks to the state legislature) will be grades that range from A to F for every school. These grades will be based primarily off of how well students perform on state tests as well as national tests like the ACT. This raised a series of questions during our lunch discussion. What performance levels signify an "A" versus a "B" or "C"? Are schools who obtain an "A" on the school report card actually graduating students who are well-prepared for college and the "real world," or are they better at preparing their students to test well?
The larger issue here is that in education, we constantly strive to measure the unmeasurable. For example, on a student's report card, a grade of 75 is a "D" and a grade of 85 is a "B." As a teacher, how on earth can I honestly say that the "B" student has mastered 10% more of the knowledge than the "D" student? I can't, because it's it's not quantifiable. Likewise, is a teacher who is considered to be a level 5 significantly better than a level 3 teacher on the TEAM rubric? On the school report card, will an "A" school be significantly better than a "B" or "C" school?
I greatly appreciate Dr. McQueen taking the time to listen to a group of teacher leaders from around the state. Without question, there are areas of improvement for TNReady. Because the law requires state testing, our students deserve to have the best evaluation system that we can provide. Hopefully, the state's ensuing discussion over how to improve TNReady will boil over into other areas of evaluation that correspondingly have glaring areas of improvement. There are more organic methods of evaluating teachers and schools than subjectively grading them. When we figure this out, Tennessee educationally will be a model for the nation and the positive change will be precipitous.

Fashion Week brawl, this time in March
Producer Motty Reif announces Gindi TLV Fashion Week in the spring; competitor Ofir Lev follows suit
Jessica Steinberg covers the Sabra scene from south to north and back to the center.
Looks like fashion entrepreneurs Motty Reif and Ofir Lev are at it again, this time, however, they're dragging out their Fashion Week competition until March.
Reif announced during a celebratory press conference this week that the next Gindi Tel Aviv Fashion Week will be held March 9 through March 12, 2014. Lev, meanwhile, settled for a lower-key announcement, posting the March 3, 4, and 5 dates of his alternate Fashion Week on the TLVFW website.
The two have been at it since late 2012, when they parted ways following the first Tel Aviv Fashion Week in November 2011. They held separate fashion weeks in 2012 — Lev's in November, featuring younger designers, and Reif's in December, with a more experienced designer crowd.
The 2014 Gindi Fashion Week will be held at the TLV Fashion Mall, a development owned by the Gindi Tel Aviv real estate company, with the support of the Israel Export Institute, Israel Manufacturer's Association, Tourism Ministry, and the City of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
Lev, who recently showed local designs at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Moscow, also has the support of the Tel Aviv municipality and Israel Export Institute.
Given the aim of bringing in foreign buyers to the four-day fashion week, with the hope of further exposing Israeli fashion design to markets abroad, Reif thought March would be better timing than November, said a spokesperson for the event.
"There are other fashion weeks taking place in November, and the goal is really to bring the buyers and take a step forward," said the spokesperson, who asked to remain anonymous.
Twenty-two local designers will be participating in the Gindi Fashion Week event, including Gideon and Karen Oberson, Dorit Bar Or, Ronen Chen, Sasson Kedem, Dorin Frankfurt, Comme Il Faut, Alembika, Josef, and others. They're the "best designers," said the spokesperson, those who can put together a show and be able to stock enough inventory for interested buyers.
"We're prouder than ever this year to continue to create, develop, and bring the best designs from our country to the audience that loves fashion," said Reif at the press conference.
Lev's list of designers was shorter, but will include Maskit, the comeback story of 2013, as the vintage embroidered designs of Israel's first fashion house are being brought back, as well as Yaniv Persy, who worked with John Galliano, and Gershon Bram, one of the country's few menswear designers.

Here is a complete list of those, with reference to my homepage http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~rvs/myreports in Germany and my homepage http://stat.stanford.edu/reports/rvs in the USA, for fast internet access. I added the abstracts of the more recent technical reports (5)-(8). (1) von Sachs, R., Schneider, K. Wavelet Smoothing of Evolutionary Spectra by Non-linear Thresholding. Appl. Comp. Harmonic Anal. 3 (1996), 268--282. (2) Neumann, M.H., von Sachs, R. Wavelet Thresholding in Anisotropic Function Classes and Application to Adaptive Estimation of Evolutionary Spectra.

Technical Report 503, Stanford Statistics Department, and REBRAPE (Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics), 10, 1996, 181--204. (5) von Sachs, R., MacGibbon, B. Non-parametric Curve Estimation by Wavelet Thresholding with Locally Stationary Errors. Technical Report AGTM 179, University of Kaiserslautern, 1997, submitted for publication. Abstract: We use non-linear wavelet thresholding to estimate a regression or trend function from noisy time-varying data which is an important aspect, e.g, in the modeling of biological phenomena. Here, the covariance of the noise does not need to be stationary, but is allowed to change slowly over time. We develop a procedure to adapt existing threshold rules to such situations. Moreover, in the model of curve estimation in Besov class with locally stationary errors, we derive a near-optimal rate for the risk between the unknown function and our estimator. In the special case of Gaussian errors, a lower bound on the asymptotic minimax rate in the wavelet coefficient domain is also obtained. We finally indicate how to derive a stronger adaptivity result by modifying existing SURE estimators. Our method is illustrated on both an interesting simulated example and a biostatistical data-set, which exhibits a clear nonstationarity in its variance. (6) von Sachs, R., Neumann, M.H. A Wavelet-based Test for Stationarity. Technical Report AGTM 182, University of Kaiserslautern, 1997, submitted for publication. Abstract: We develop a test for stationarity of a time series against the alternative of a time-changing covariance structure. Using localized versions of the periodogram, we obtain empirical versions of a reasonable notion of a time-varying spectral density. Coefficients with respect to a Haar wavelet series expansion of such a time-varying periodogram are a possible indicator whether there is some deviation from covariance stationarity. We propose a test based on the limit distribution of these empirical coefficients. Some simulations illustrate the performance of our procedure both on the null-hypothesis of stationarity and on the alternative. (7) von Sachs, R., Nason, G.P., Kroisandt, G. Wavelet Processes and Adaptive Estimation of the Evolutionary Wavelet Spectrum. Technical Report 516, Stanford Statistics Department, 1997, submitted for publication. Abstract: We define a new class of non-stationary random processes which are characterized by a time-scale (spectral) representation with respect to a family of non--decimated or stationary wavelets. Using our new model of ``locally stationary wavelet" processes, we develop a theory of how to define and estimate an ``evolutionary wavelet spectrum". Our asymptotics are based on renormalizing in time-location which permits rigorous estimation starting from a single stretch of observations of the process. The wavelet spectrum measures the local power in the variance-covariance decomposition of the process at a certain scale and (renormalized) time location. To estimate the wavelet spectrum we use (corrected and appropriately locally smoothed) ``wavelet periodograms". Further, we suggest an inverse transformation of the smoothed wavelet periodogram that estimates the local autocovariances of the original stochastic process. Some simulations and an application to a medical time series indicate the usefulness of our new approach. (8) Donoho, D.L., Mallat, S., von Sachs, R. Estimating Covariances of Locally Stationary Processes: Rates of Convergence of Best Basis Methods. Technical Report 517, Stanford Statistics Department, 1997, to be submitted for publication. Abstract: Mallat, Papanicolaou and Zhang recently proposed a method for approximating the covariance of a locally stationary process by a covariance which is diagonal in a specially constructed Coifman--Meyer basis of cosine packets. In this paper we extend this approach to estimating the covariance from sampled data. Our method combines both wavelet shrinkage and cosine-packet best-basis selection in a simple and natural way. The resulting algorithm is fast and automatic. The method has an interpretation as a nonlinear, adaptive form of anisotropic time-frequency smoothing. We introduce a new class of locally stationary processes which exhibits a form of inhomogeneous nonstationarity; our processes have covariances which typically change little from row to row, but might occasionally change abruptly. We study performance in an asymptotic setting involving triangular arrays of processes which are becoming increasingly stationary, and are able to prove rates of convergence results for our estimator. For this class of processes, the algorithm has advantages over traditional approaches like fixed-window-length segmentation followed by autocovariance estimation.

Official TWRP Support Comes To The Nexus Player And The Oppo R5

TWRP has officially come to two more devices, and they're quite an odd pair. One is the Oppo R5. This is a phone so thin that it lacks a headphone jack.
The second is the Nexus Player. Yup, official TWRP support for your set-top box. But experience won't exactly be the smooth one you're expecting. The maintainer says you will need a USB OTG cable and a USB mouse to navigate TWRP on the device, and even then, the graphics will be a bit laggy due to a lack of optimization for x86.
TWRP allows you to create backups, flash custom ROMs, and otherwise tinker around with things. You can find instructions for getting stuff up and running at each of the respective links. And as always, please be careful.

Since the last post the siege engines have been well and truly wheeled out on Monumental. I've been happy to do this because it's without doubt one of the Peak's great lines. Much as I love it, sporty limestone of the Peak variety rarely has much of a line, climbs tend to join together the bitty features, or more often just blast up in a straight line a given distance from the neighbouring 'line'. Even when a strong feature does exist, those on Revelations or Mecca for example, these often fizzle out halfway up the crag. Not so the mighty Monumental, this is a great big slash across the whole face of the Cornice, overhung in all dimensions – this thing has more line than Network Rail. Yorkshire lime has the Big Three, the Triple Crown, a triplet of peerless 8a+ routes on the Dales' big three limestone crags. The Peak has only one 8a+ (grade debate aside) of this calibre, as such Monumental is surely the Peak's Single Crown, this is our Big One.
I've passed by this feature many many times and it's always intrigued me a lot. It just looked so unattainable, as much because on almost all occasions it was festering under gallons of alien death slime and peppered with half buried rust blobs for bolts. The crown had slipped, the Big One was long in the wilderness, unclimbed and unclimbable for over a decade. Years have come and gone and all attempts to resurrect it have been vain. Reviving this route would clearly take an exceptionally dry year and several determined climbers several days of misery. 2010 looked like it might just be the year. Simon Davies and myself both spent a day tunnelling through years of accreted slime crust, one man saviour of Peak sport climbing Jon Clark put in two days of bolting and cleaning, then Kris Clemmow finished the job by removing the old bolts. This was a month or two ago and with subsequent traffic (at least eight ascents to date) the route is now in fantastic condition, bone dry, super clean and re-equipped with shiny new 12mm resin bolts. Standing beneath it today it's hard to picture just how horrendous it was at the start of the season. For a brief while the Big One is back in all its glory. Long may it hold out, though in the end the slime will always win.
The window of opportunity being brief and unpredictable, I really wanted to take the chance while it lasted. The only problem was that it didn't seem to want me to get up it. Despite having lots of knees and weirdness it just didn't suit me, the reputedly ok crux section felt like the world's hardest move to me(a persistent left wrist injury didn't help) and the final lurch into the groove hurt my dupytren's afflicted hand, as well as being a notorious sting in the tail from hell. Progress was slow and sessions on it left me feeling beasted for days. Gradually though the pieces were coming together. The fettling of kneepads became a minor obsession for me and Nige. The ultimate pad arrangement involved one on the left knee stiffened with a plastic insert and a thinner one for the right with a grippy rubber top layer, both held in place with a combo of gaffer tape, lacing and double sided sticky tape. Each use incurs a price in kneepit chaffing and hairloss on removal, though I never quite stooped to shaving the knees.
An uncounted number of sessions later (I'd guess at about nine!), the war of attrition was won, second redpoint on a Thursday afternoon session with back two Dan. I was lucky it went down that go too, as I acquired a split tip and a tweaked shoulder on route. Nige turned up shortly after and finished off his (somewhat shorter) Monumental battle.
All in all I really enjoyed the whole thing and I'm happy to add to the hype around the route. It's a superb climb, with brilliant satisfying moves and not a single glued hold throughout ( a rare thing on a Peak route of this grade). Get on it people, it'll soon be gone again and for who knows how long this time.
I haven't got any pics of Monumental, so here's one of Roy Mosley on nearby jug Jockey. This pic was taken in 2005, the last time the crag dried out. MA is the (dirty)left to right groove left some way left of Roy.

Giving it away
Back in August 08 I wrote about a project found and bolted at the Cornice http://pearofjoy.blogspot.com/2008/08/big-bites-too-much-to-chew.html . It's essentially a direct start to Love Among the Butterflies, breaking right from the initial bulge of R'n'P. Unfortunately since that date it got wet almost straight away and remained so for the rest of that year then the whole of the next. So except for a bit of fettling in poor conditions I never gave it a proper go. Along comes summer 2010 and exceptional conditions at the Cornice to find me critically short of the time, power and fitness needed to have a decent hope of getting the thing done. So a dilemma, do I wade into a no doubt protracted siege with low hopes for success, do I sit on it until some future confluence of conditions and fitness, or do I pass it on to a better man then sit back and let them do the hard work? From the way I just phrased this dilemma it's probably obvious that I opted to call in the big guns. In truth the project was beyond the level of my best sport climbing efforts and would have required a serious step up and I just can't be arsed with big sieges, never could be. I'm more a middle distance redpointer. One to three days is fun, four to six is just about tolerable if the route is amazing, more than that and it feels like time ill spent. On top of this, had I thrown my eggs into the project basket I would have missed out on a rare opportunity to climb some of the countries best sport routes.
So I told Bransby the project was now open and he gave it a go. He then suggested Caff have a go as he had just done Love Among the Butterflies so already had half the route in the bank. I was fortunate enough to be at the crag some days later when he succeeded on the route. Now this guy's a well oiled carbon fibre crush machine and the route plays to his strengths, but he still managed to make it look hard, so I think it's safe to say it was a good idea for me to give the thing up. Subsequent attention from Steve McClure and Jon Clark has confirmed Caff's suggestion of 8b+.
Being a proper nice guy/machine Caff suggested that as equipper I name the route on his behalf. The name Barney Ragin' refers to Caffisms which might be familiar to belayers, typically after a ten second shake out before a mind pulping runout - "Sorry guys I'm just being a total ragin', I'll be off for a barney in a sec" – proceed to casually dispatch. His on route apologising is legendary.
The only condition for giving away the proj was that whoever did it must go to Thor's and get on one of my 7c+s. So finally after endless exhortations to all and sundry and an arm made sore from beating the same drum for five years I had finally managed to bribe someone to get on Escape to Valhalla, hoo-fuckin-ray! I was glad to see it didn't go down without a fight (to be fair he had just climbed Thormen's and had done Monumental Armblaster the day before, plus the crux has two reachy moves, but nevertheless….), taking a couple of redpoints. What's even better is that he thought it was "amazing", "totally bonkers" and "8a". Going back on it myself I was surprised how hard the crux was and bemused as to why I'd not given it 8a in the first place, I mean everyone knows no one gets out of bed for 7c+s these days, even three star ones, so by undergrading it I'd ensured a lack of repeats. For the tick hungry 8a.noodler 7c+ is just too much like an 8's worth of effort without the number to show for it. I'm sure it sounds mighty hubristic being so bothered about people repeating my route, but to me it feels more like a wish to share an amazing thing, rather than a chance to trumpet my own merit. The best bit about climbing is surely enthusing about a climb with someone who's experienced the same and this is especially so when the route in question is treasure you've personally unearthed.
As it turned out I got a bit more crag time than expected and the time not spent seiging the project was put to good use reeling in a pair of splendid 8a+s in K3 and R'n'P. Now I've gone and got myself embroiled in a potential siege on Monumental, which is surely 8b and feels like a big undertaking for me, but it's one of those rare mega routes where I don't mind putting in the extra sessions. At least I think I'll manage a few more before I get bored. Or maybe it's just the technical challenge of making the perfect kneepad that's keeping me interested.
Starting the crux sequence on Escape
Final tricky moves to gain the belfry belay
P.S. Having written that bit about folk being 8 obsessed number whores I thought I'd best check my facts. So I did a search for 7c, 7c+ and 8a ascents in the UK, in the last month, registered on 8a.nu. There were 47 ascents at 7c, 23 ascents at 7c+ and 55 ascents of 8a. Factoring in five ascents of Lockless Monster, a book graded 8a which has only just been downgraded to 7c+ due to recent ascents, i.e. the five ascents probably went on it as an 8a; it comes to 60 at 8a and only 18 at 7c+! I rinky-dink rest my case.
P.P.S Big thanks to JC and Chris for all the hard work re-bolting! And hiya to Andy C, good to get the old team back in action again. Hope the shoulder recovers quickly

Buried Alive
So far the summer of 2010 is proving to be a good one for peak sport climbing conditions. The Cornice is already as dry as late summer 2005, which was the last time it came into condition, and we aren't even at longest day yet. Now it could all go horribly wrong and I hate to tempt fate, mid-summer monsoons do seem to be the pattern after all, but you never know this might just turn out to be a mega summer. If the Cornice fully dries and stays dry I predict that it'll get the re-bolt it needs, loads of things that haven't been repeated in years (including the legendary Monumental Armblaster), will see some action, second ascents will happen and maybe even the odd new things will get put up.
All this dry climbing at the Cornice reminds me of the year I got involved with another seepage prone peak crag, Thor's Cave. Yep, I'm going to bang the Thor's drum, again! It'd be nice to think that now we have some dryness that this awesome venue will also see some well deserved attention. I guess part of it's apparent obscurity is that there aren't many inspiring pictures of the routes out there, it's a bit of a drive from Sheffield and it's just off the collective radar of most sport climbers. This is a damn shame as it's the nearest you'll get to Spanish madness without having to get on a plane. The other problem is that people have tended to only think of the place when wracking their brains for somewhere cool and shady to go in the worst muggy days of summer. As the wise will know, cave get goppy in such weather. Conditions wise the crag behaves somewhat like a seacliff and if treated the same way you won't go wrong. Just like for instance St Govan's it will suffer condensation on hot still days, especially in the morning. Go late in the day on muggy days, or save it for a fresher day, maybe with a bit of a breeze and it will be fine. Or ask me to assess the forecast and I'll make an educated guess for you.
I'll describe the route here and maybe someone will be tempted to check the place out.
Thormen's is a well known and justly popular 7c+/8a with spectacular upside down climbing in the arch barrel of the front entrance. Further back the cave opens out into a huge vaulted chamber, well lit by the main entrance and the west window. The routes in the body of the cave by the nature of the space tend to finish at the apex of roof as opposed to the top of the crag.
The easiest and most popular of these is Midgard Serpent 7b+, a crazy line up a ridiculously overhanging trench, requiring imagination and proficient use of knees.
Its companion route Fenris is a touch less steep following a line of attractive pods to a boulder problem crux, again at 7b+.
Aussie nice guy Matt Kelly on Midgard Serpent
Next up difficulty wise is Loki the Trickster 7c. Loki initially climbs a flat overhanging wall on spaced pockets to a mini flake, it then makes a desperate move left on a slopey hold that looks like a fossil plum and finishes up a steady groove. You're then on to the real quality, a pair of long 7c+s taking either side of the internal arch at its highest.
The lefthand one, Spear of Odin, takes a Malhamesque gently overhanging wall on pockets flakes, undercuts, rock ears and a short tufa. It then gets really steep until a swing onto the opposite side of the arch is forced, then some amazing 3D strangeness with bridging, a kneebar, cutlooses and footlocks to gain 'the belfry' a hanging chimney hands off rest where the route finishes.
Spear of Odin
The other 7c+ Escape to Valhalla is my favourite route in the cave with totally unique climbing from start to finish on brilliant rock. It gains the same finishing moves as Spear but this time via a line of huecos up the cave's central grey pillar. The moves to get in and out of the crux hueco are truly bonkers and bound to put a smile on your face. The crux involves quite a span and the only repeat ascent so far was by a shorty who was forced to make an inferior leftward deviation here, which is a shame as this misses out the best climbing. The extended finish along the lower of the two roof faults is a thrutchy 8a called Ragnarok, but it makes more sense to do this section as part of the next route.
Escape goes up the pillar on the left into a huge hole in the roof, the continuation along the roof is Ragnarok
Most recently Dan Varian upped the cave ante with his Muoguo 8b+. Which take the theme of super steep technical roofwork to a whole different level. And there are still a few lines to go.
As well as the single pitch stuff the crag has one exceedingly weird outing that has yet to be repeated, or indeed completed without falls in a single push. You will not find anything even remotely similar anywhere else in the Peak. It's more akin to seacave oddities like Preposterous Tales than anything else in the peak, but being an old aid route is very well protected with bolts. Buried Alive is a six pitch outing which frees the aid route Osiris in its entirety, starting in the cave's darkest eastern recess, following a twisting line of weakness in the roof and eventually emerging to finish at the top of the crag via the classic HVS West Window Groove.
Looking back at the start of Buried Alive. Spear goes up the LH sidewall, Escape goes up the right.
Kristian on pitch one of Buried Alive
Here's the description:
Buried Alive 7c+ ***
A very weird journey freeing the old aid route Osiris. Starting in the deepest recesses of the cave and finishing on top of the hill. Could probably be done in fewer pitches with careful ropework.
Pitch 1: E3 5c/6b+ - From almost the far end of the west passage climb a muddy ramp (bold) on the right to gain the line of bolts in the roof. Chimney along the rift past lots of aid bolts and spiders to an awkward about turn move to gain a subsidiary chimney on the North wall. Headtorchs essential!
Pitch 2: 6c+ - Traverse from the sub-chimney along the north wall up into the high rift. Continue along this clipping what bolts you can reach beneath you. Where the rift closes off make a tricky dropdown onto a muddy jug and swing down onto the south wall where a hanging belay can be arranged.
Pitch 3: 7c+ - Traverse the south wall into Ragnarok and follow this passing the crux moves around a corner into a hanging slab/ramp, belay.
Pitch 4: 7b+ - The thrutchy bunched traverse section of Ragnarok followed to where this ends at a hands off position in a small chimney, belay.
Pitch 5: 6a – A short pitch dropping down and through the west window to attain the outside world. The second may wish to use a back rope.
Pitch 6: HVS – Finish up West Window Groove for the summit experience.
The forecast for the weekend looks ideal, sunny with a breeze. Someone for god sake go and do some of these route, then there'll be two of us banging on about how good they are rather than just me!

Whilst on my lunchtime stroll to Tesco a few weeks back I spotted a four leaf clover beside the road. I hurried back to the office, sprig in hand and quickly laminated it to trap the luck! I'm still waiting for some hard evidence of its power, though I did find a tenner on the street yesterday.

Yanmar is not a just a producer of diesel engines. The Yanmar service model and products ensure value for money for purchasers, contractors and engineers alike. Buying an engine means embarking on a long-term investment. A wise investment means not just looking at the purchase price, but also being able to assess the overall lifetime costs. Smart investors understand this.
We promise, we deliver
At Yanmar we appreciate that our engine is your tool for producing solid business results. That is why we stand by our claim to deliver the most value for the money. In comparison with engine quality and price, we offer our customers the best total price on the market today. Naturally, all our engines meet with the most strict standards and regulations. We would not have it any other way.
With an eye to the future
In 2019 Stage V emissions regulations will take effect. This is forcing purchasers, contractors and engineers to look ahead. To seek out the best total cost of ownership. Determine the best moment to invest. It is time to take a solid 'nuts & bolts' look at what total cost of ownership really entails. It goes deeper than just the purchase price. It also includes service availability, installation and maintenance costs, downtime maintenance, lifecycle costs and disposal.
It's all in the timing
Timing is essential to investors. A big question remains: How long will I have to wait for my investment? Engine companies and their engineering staff have to be ready to meet the new regulations in 2019. They will have to look at production timelines versus engine availability. At whether the new regulations will affect the business capacity for their investors. When the various elements are reviewed thoroughly and production is timed out just right, companies have a better chance at success.
Smart investors
Yanmar customers know the drill. They know what it takes to secure a solid asset, and they know a good investment when they see it. At Yanmar we treat our customers like business partners. We make sure that we provide them with the right information at the right time. Help them to make the best choices, so that they are regulation ready in 2018/2019.

That is why smart investors come to Yanmar.

Too cute! How many chickens does it accommodate?ReplyDelete
Right now it accomodates our 5 hens and one neurotic rooster. Eventually we would like to get a dozen or so. From what I have read it could hold up to 36, but that seems like a lot for such a small coop.ReplyDelete
Eggs where I live are about $1 per dozen, which would put your time to recoup (I couldn't resist) your investment at 600*12/5, or just under 4 years, not including the costs of feeding the hens. Still it looks sturdy enough to last longer than that :)ReplyDelete

I am behind on blogging! Harris' birthday came and went and the pictures are trapped on my camera. Somewhere in the melee of the massive reorganization this house is going through, I lost the charger to my camera and it's dead as a doornail so I can't connect it to the computer to get the pics. Overstock.com is coming to my rescue soon.
My mom was here for a weekend while Tom was out of town and I used that time to take every single item out of my pantry and put it back in it's own spot. It's awesome.
There wasn't much that had to be thrown out but I have double the space as before, just by taking things out of boxes and grouping things together. I went to the Dollar Tree and got probably 40 plastic bins and just went to town. The rest of the house may be chaos but the pantry is FABULOUS. I can find things so much easier and can clearly see what's in there. It's such a simple change but it makes a big difference. I did the same thing with our medicine cabinet. It has already come in handy because I nearly sliced my thumb off cutting a bagel and was thankful to know just exactly where the band aids were. And also, I decided not to eat the bagel. If it's so hard that I had to use that much force to cut through it, maybe it's not suitable for consumption.
Harris has been talking for a few days about how he made a gingerbread man at school and wants to make one at home. I was not super excited about that project because it's such a big mess and I thought I'd have to make the dough from scratch, etc. Finally, Harris mentioned he made the gingerbread man with Play-Doh. Fabulous! We can do that all day. So we'll be a gingerbread factory next week. We made cookies (from scratch!) and decorated them yesterday and ad the BEST morning. We didn't leave the house, just stayed in our pj's and decorated cookies, listening to Christmas music. Walker didn't want to decorate any cookies but I think he still liked the low-key day.
By early evening though, they were going stir crazy but we still couldn't really leave because it was raining. I threw glow sticks in the bathtub, turned off the lights, and they played for about 45 minutes. Happily. I'd heard of this idea several times but didn't think it would be that big of a hit. When your kids are bored, it's a lifessaver. I need more glow sticks.
Tom's aunt shared an article about tantrums that was so timely. I had two rough (and PUBLIC) experiences with Walker recently that just weren't pretty. And I'm also starting to sweat how on earth I'm going to run this show when a baby is around. But I'll worry about that later. For now, the article just went through the "cycle" of a tantrum and, most importantly, talked about the fastest way to get through it. The advice was to ignore the screaming/rage part. That's what my pediatrician said as well and it really does seem to work. The problem comes in when you happen to be in public and are getting some nasty looks for ignoring your tantrum-ing child. There is no possibility of talking Walker off the ledge and it just seems to prolong the anger, which the research supported. It's just nice to have some scientific back-up that this seems to be the best way to handle this stage. And I keep telling myself, "It is ONLY a season. It will pass." And it seems that the more verbal he's getting the less angry he's becoming. Hopefully he's talking up a storm by baby #3's arrival!!
I've been reading a book, "Grooming the Next Generation for Success" and it talks a lot about "setting your child up for success" by telling them how you expect them to act in any situation. So I've been telling Walker for days what I want him to do when we pick Harris up from school (hold my hand while we walk). He always agrees until right before we pull in the parking lot, then changes his mind. Today I went over it AGAIN before we got out of the car and he did it!! He nicely held my hand the ENTIRE time. Walking into the school, in Harris' classroom, where we had to wait for quite awhile, and all the way back to the car. Normally, I either have to carry him (while he whines loudly) or literally drag him by the arm because he is so insistent that he doesn't want to hold my hand. Yay!!! It's so encouraging to see progress!! I praised him as if he'd just won the Nobel Peace Prize and he was really proud of himself. I know that sounds like a ridiculously minor thing, but it had gotten to the point that I really dreaded picking Harris up because it was such a battle and there didn't seem to be a good solution. And it was embarassing. So it took probably a week's worth of talking and talking about it but it made a big difference.
I've realized I have got to be more caught up on current events than I am so I've been making an sincere effort every day to check out cnn.com or some other news source. Anyway, the iReport section had a question about how non-believers celebrate Christmas. I have been curious about this myself so I checked out some of the responses. This one summed up some of what I've been thinking about this year. The response is titled, " Not really a religious holiday anymore." And I think that's what it has become to the masses, certainly what it was to me a few years ago. Some of the responses focused on the giving, and time with family, which is great. But that doesn't have anything at all to do with Christmas. I know our family does want to celebrate Christmas for what it actually is, not what appears to be the mainstream view, and that's going to take making decisions that aren't mainstream. This isn't a huge issue for us right now but it becomes more of one every year as our kids grow. I don't really have any conclusions as to how to handle it but it's on my mind. I've been all over the place with different ideas but I think it comes down to how we live the other 11 months of the year how our kids will feel about Christmas. If Jesus is important the rest of the time, his birthday will be exciting. If he's not, then why should they care? Harris absolutely blessed me with this yesterday. He made a "manger" and put Baby Jesus in it.
I love that his little heart was thinking of this while he was playing. And yesterday was also a good reminder that mornings at home are needed every so often. We'll have to balance it with some sort of outside activity, even if it's a walk in the rain, because they were nuts after about 4, but the first several hours were absolutely perfect. Walker brought me books to read, Harris did creative little things that let me see what's going on in his head and it was relaxing for all of us. And I got some laundry done, which was a bonus. And I since there's not a pic of Walker, here's one just so he's not left out.
I might have already posted this but even if I did, it's worth looking at again. I could just kiss and kiss that little face.
Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve

…and she thought it would be funny for her to post all kinds of pictures of me on her blog around my birthday.
I'm always up for a challenge. I've been meaning to do this for awhile so here it is, Erin. Here are the pictures I promised. The thing is, she doesn't take a bad photo. Ever. So here are some nice pictures of my good friend.
You have to click to see them. I know, it's an annoying extra step but I am still in a fight with WordPress and Flickr to try and post pics here. All you have to do is click HERE to go to my old blog site and see my friend.

No prelims! This is as "alla prima" as I can get with Acrylic paint... it's often a rush to beat the drying time, however mediums help here --but that's where the rush is...juggling all visual elements at once, and trying not to paint off key... (especially for these two guys; their scorn would be silent but deadly) There were no prelims for this image, I just jumped in with paint and had at it. The duo were drawn or blocked in with paint as a line drawing of sorts, and the form was patched in as I went along. Yes, the copping is intentional. Took about an hour and 20 min.

- The businesses/individuals who have donated prizes in support of our team's Cougar of the Week program.
- STC/Greyhound courier service. I shipped a parcel by bus from Ontario on a Sunday, and it arrived in Regina two days later! Not bad.
- Parents who sign their kids up for minor football, pay the deposit, talk to the coach, and then drop out without bothering to inform anyone. You suck. Hard.
- Air Canada. A better flight schedule into/out of Regina than WestJet these days, but I could do without the three hour delays!
- Blue Bird Cafe at Regina Beach. The quality of the legendary fish and chips is down under the new ownership.

Deny Terrorists What They Want — Prosecute Them as Criminals
After the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas, which killed 58 people, and the murder of an anti-fascist protester in Charlottesville this August, many people are asking what exactly qualifies as terrorism, and where the real difference lies between domestic and international acts of terror.
The Cipher Brief's Fritz Lodge spoke with Michael German, a former FBI who successfully infiltrated two extremist domestic terror organizations as an undercover agent, about how the current approach to domestic terrorism is missing serious organized violence.
The Cipher Brief: In what ways does the U.S. government treat international and domestic terrorism differently in terms of response and public messaging?
Michael German: As differently as possible.
There is a completely separate legal regime separating international terrorism from domestic terrorism, and there is a completely different attitude in the way that the two are approached.
The FBI has always been two separate organizations: one that focused on criminal justice issues and law enforcement, and the other that focused on foreign intelligence and counterintelligence. When international terrorism became a thing in the 1970s, it didn't fit neatly into either category because it was certainly criminal, but there was also an international aspect to it that didn't look like it fit into the criminal sphere. This was mistake number one, not realizing that treating this as purely criminal would have been the more effective response.
Part of this is not the FBI's fault, it's the way that the government looks at terrorism. Terrorism is a pejorative term, and we apply it to violence we don't like at the time, but that is often very changeable. Often we look at violence that is identical, but since it is perpetrated by other groups, we don't call it terrorism.
In that respect, terrorism did fit better into the foreign/counter intelligence realm, where they are used to this kind of ambiguity, and this realm uses a completely different legal regime. Most foreign counterintelligence work isn't actually focused on criminal acts. It's focused on foreign diplomats and other officials who you want to gather information about but you don't have the luxury of using a judge to issue a search warrant or wiretap, so they set up a different legal regime under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Following the Oklahoma City bombing, which was of course a domestic terrorist act, the law that passed immediately after created an expanded ability to criminalize support for a foreign terrorist organization. That material support statute empowered the FBI to go after not just people who are engaged in terrorism, but people ancillary to those terrorist acts. That basically allows them to go after people not because of anything they did, but because of things that people who are associated with them did, which created a completely different legal structure that doesn't exist on the domestic terrorism side of things.
Domestic terrorism, in general, is treated as just a law enforcement issue.
TCB: When you look at something like the Las Vegas shootings, people were asking in the aftermath why this was not called terrorism. Is that a reasonable complaint? Why or why not?
German: It's certainly a reasonable complaint if we're talking about political rhetoric and the way that we talk about violence and the way that we devote resources to preventing violence.
I think there is a lot of frustration with the way that the government treats domestic terrorism incidents.
It's interesting how we use these terms because there are events that don't fit naturally into either category – international or domestic terrorism. Imagine a scenario where you're an FBI agent sitting on desk duty and somebody walks in and says, "I think my neighbor's a terrorist." You get out a sheet of paper and ask why the person thinks their neighbor is a terrorist, and they say, "Well I walked by the garage and there were some political posters on the wall, and he was making what looked to me to be a bomb." The agent would say this is something we have to jump on and then ask, "what do you know about your neighbor?" They respond, "Well, he's born and raised here, lived next to me my whole life but in the last couple of years, he's acted unusual and he's Muslim, and I saw an ISIS poster on his wall."
Ok, that's international terrorism. At that point, I can write "Classified" at the top of that page, and it's a secret document that can be used under FISA as a counterintelligence tool, with a highly secretive way of handling all that information.
However, if they say, "Well, I don't know much about my neighbor, he just moved here from Canada but there's a Nazi flag on his wall and he was making a bomb," suddenly that's domestic terrorism. Even though this person is from Canada, that's domestic terrorism. It really doesn't make any sense.
If we just break down what the FBI calls domestic terrorism, that's political violence from groups on the left, political violence from groups on the right, and all things in the middle. But it doesn't mean that the FBI treats those things the same.
Governments tend to view any challenge to their hold on power as a threat, whether that is a protest or actual violence, and they tend to merge these two things together in a way that suppresses the protest, the challenge to power and policy, whether it's violence or not. That's what we saw during the Hoover era where he tended to see white nationalist violence as a relatively small concern, while viewing the civil rights movement as a threat to the nation.
Unfortunately, the rules put in place to prevent that from happening again – the attorney general guidelines – were significantly relaxed after 9/11 and most seriously relaxed in 2008. That relaxation, along with the national security imperative that was created by 9/11, has basically created the same set of circumstances that drove the Hoover-era abuses.
We have guidelines now that are not strong enough to prevent abuse, and we have inadequate oversight and excessive secrecy. We also have an imperative to prevent all acts of terrorism, not just solve them, which has caused an overzealous and aggressive pursuit of intelligence practices that tend to target not just people who are actually violent, but people who are perceived to be challenging the status quo. This tends to fall into the same categories – new immigrants, communities of color, political dissidents and whistle blowers.
Up until a year ago, I would have said that this over-aggressiveness in prosecuting international terrorism is the main problem in our treatment of terrorism, while the criminal justice approach to domestic terrorism is more effective. We don't want to give the terrorists what they want, which is to be considered an enemy to go to war with, not a criminal.
TCB: So then, when you look at a situation like the attack on protesters in Charlottesville, would you still advocate the criminal justice – more domestic terrorism focused – approach as the most effective?
German: Well, remember that I said up until a year ago.
I have been shocked and disappointed at the reaction of law enforcement regarding the increasing violence by these far right protesters. I first noticed it in March of this year in Berkeley, where there were violent street battles between these far right extremists and the so-called "Antifa" counter protesters, and the police standing back and allowing that to take place. I was absolutely shocked by that and surprised when I heard Berkeley officials defending the policy. What happened immediately after was even worse violence at a protest in April, but this is totally predictable.
The message that this sent to violent people in the far right movement is that you can come to these protests, beat people up, and walk away. It empowered the criminal fringe in a way that they haven't been empowered in quite some time.
Then there was another set of protests in Portland where the police allowed far right militia groups to provide security for the protest as if they are some kind of a licensed security outfit. There is actually a video of Department of Homeland Security officers allowing these militias to assist them in making arrests of counter protesters. Apparently, the IG is investigating that, but this was, again, shocking to me.
If you look at the victims of far right violence, very often they are police, and for the police to not recognize that these people pose the greater threat is hard for me to imagine if we're working from any kind of an intelligence base. To the extent that you have anarchist and "Antifa" violence at protests, it's confined to the protests and doesn't lead to homicides. Certainly police can get frustrated by the tactics of these people, but they don't come anywhere near the history of violence that comes out of the far right.
Once I recognized that this was going on, I realized that it goes all the way back to Sacramento in June of 2016, where there was a white supremacist rally and counter protesters showed up and there were some clashes, and some of the counter protesters were actually stabbed. And yet, most of the arrests were of counter protesters. There was this odd failure to recognize that there is a difference in the level of violence coming out of these groups. And these people on the white supremacist side were actual felons with criminal records, often violent criminal records, who were promoting on social media that their intention was to go to these protests and commit violence. They then filmed this violence and used the films to recruit more people for the next protests. Yet, somehow these people can travel around the country without any impairment by law enforcement, going from one protest to the next.
There is organized criminal activity for the purpose of a committing a crime here. Some of these people are actually on probation, going from protest to protest committing violence and filming that violence without law enforcement seemingly aware.
At the same time on the international terrorism side, we see an aggressiveness that goes beyond reason. Not just mass surveillance programs and excessive use of criminal informants, but aggressive sting operations as well.
There was a case in Miami where a person who was living on the street apparently had an animus against a particular synagogue – anti-Semitic in nature – and decided that he wanted to go do harm to that synagogue. The government informant assisted him in getting weapons to bomb the synagogue, and then, as they're going there to plant the bombs, the informant says, "Hey, how about if we say we're ISIS?" That was not an ISIS case, the person had nothing to do with ISIS, this was completely manufactured so the FBI could claim a victory in this international terrorism category. You don't see that kind of stuff targeting the far right.
TCB: How would you reconcile these two approaches to domestic and international terrorism? This lighter hand on domestic terrorism and a more aggressive approach to international terrorism?
German: I wouldn't characterize it as a light hand on domestic terrorism, I don't think the domestic terrorists that I put in jail would have said that I was light on them.
I think what we need is an objective data-driven focus on violence, then a lot of the problems will go away. Whether it's international terrorism or domestic, if we're focused on violence, then all of our resources are focused on where they're going to be the most effective.
Unfortunately, we've had an extra-legal counterterrorism initiative abroad that makes things more difficult because the terrorists want that war footing. They call themselves warriors, they want to be thought of as soldiers for a cause rather than criminals. Remember that ten Irish terrorists starved themselves to death in prison simply because they didn't want to be seen as criminals in prison.
There is a failure to recognize that any political enemy who is engaging in terrorist violence is doing so out of weakness. If they had military power, you would call them rebels. If they were politically powerful, you would call them the opposition, and they wouldn't need to resort to terrorism. So rather than recognizing that the resort to violence is a weakness, we're responding with violence in a way that broadens the conflict.
It's going to be a hard road now, but building international legal systems so that evidence collected in Pakistan or Indonesia can easily be brought to the United States and used in a U.S. courtroom – and vice-versa – is the way that terrorists will actually get defeated. Once people have access to legitimate tools to create political and social change, they would rather use those tools than violence, and once that exists, we can marginalize the people who would rather use violence.
In the United States, it's just a matter of focusing on where there is actual violence. Focusing on the people who have criminal records, who have criminal intentions, and using the tools that we have in our criminal justice system to focus on the right people, while at the same time leaving people who are choosing to use the legitimate tools available to them so that they can do that, and so that other people see those tools as valid and effective.

Keeping my precious jewelry as well as my cash somewhere safe could be really uneasy. When i learnt more about the very easy gain access to biometric wall safe i knew i had to have it. I was never fond of keeping a safe in my home because i feel that when words gets out you end up being vulnerable to burglary. It can be extremely risky for you and also you are if you look questionable of having precious jewelry and loan. Most people that obtain burglarized are adhered to and looked for a while before the burglar acts. I figured if a burglar does make a decision to burglarize my residence i could as well make it harder for him to take my prized possessions.
I like advanced inventions and also this is one of those thing i knew i needed to have. I am really captivated with scanners and things that open by the touch of a finger print. This is exactly how it works. simply configure your safe to remember your fingerprint. When you want to open it touch it when on the scanner and also it stands out open. Nobody could reproduce your fingerprint so it is impossible to damage it. Unlike a combination or a key lock safe where an excellent sleuth could manage his method via it. Thieves have yet to discover how to determine ways to get right into a biometric safe
I would certainly state it is worth the financial investment to have a finger print wall safes since it is simple to make use of and only you have access to it. You could have multiple people have access to it if it is required by saving their fingerprints additionally. I such as the added safe safes which need an electronic number as well as your finger print. It is not such as any individual can resemble your print yet it simply makes you feel a great deal much better security-wise. You might feel that it is too easy to open up so keeping a mix would certainly be valuable.
A biometric wall safe can be very sizable if you make a decision to get the further ones. They are extremely heavy if you are concerned concerning a person having the ability to uninstall it totally. It would certainly be difficult for a burglar to take the entire thing as well as run off with it.
