|Quotes and Thoughts
"For every 25% increase in the problem complexity, there is a 100% increase in the complexity of the software solution." Robert Glass
|Tools and Tips
Please submit clever ideas or thoughts about tools, techniques and resources you love or hate. Here are the tool reviews submitted in the past.
Not really a tool... but a computer made from, gasp, transistors! James Newman just finished building a 16 bit processor from 40,000 discrete transistors. His web site gives an excellent overview. I'm not sure why anyone would want to invest £40,000 into building a machine like this, but it sure is cool.
Steve Leibson sent a link to an article about the last remaining paper copy of the Apollo Guidance Computer code. You can view the code used in the Lunar Module here. It's also on Github.
Tin whiskers continue to be a problem in modern electronics. These microscopic fingers grow and can create short circuits. They're tiny; in the olden days they might have just burned out with no symptoms, but today's low-power circuits are more susceptible. And the lead-tin solders of yesteryear were much less likely to form whiskers than today's RoHS solders. Bob Landman sent some interesting links about whiskers in general, and speculation that they may have contributed to unintended acceleration incidents.
|Freebies and Discounts
Last month's winner was Brian Gleason.
This month's giveaway is an electronic badge from the recent Boston Embedded Systems Conference. Hundreds of these were distributed. They advertise the wearer's interests (set via a DIP switch) and can form mesh networks with badges worn by other attendees. It's a clever bit of engineering and a lot of fun.

|Even More on Software Malpractice
In response to some questions posed last issue about software malpractice, Bill Gatliff wrote:
This is the question I fear most in our "gig economy".
It isn't practical to expect an engineer to assume liability for a company's product, and no engineer in their right mind would ever enter into such a relationship. But nowadays everybody is a subcontractor, and the engineer might be forced to choose between taking on that liability vs. unemployment. And, to put it lightly, companies have LOTS of incentives---and leverage---for distancing themselves from liability.
Uber has confirmed many of my fears regarding this subject.
It's probably already happened.
Software and electronics aren't unique animals as far as the Court is concerned. In our adversarial system, you can't bring a case unless you've suffered harm. Once that harm occurs, the liability is borne by the active agent: the box that caught fire, the car that ran over the pedestrian, etc.
The pedestrian's claim is at the intersection of the car's bumper and their body. The fact that the car's throttle pedal was ignoring the operator is a secondary concern: the car delivered the injury, so the car must make the claimant whole again. The seized throttle pedal was just an accessory to the event, and that knowledge is useful only for the insurance companies to figure out where to recover THEIR losses from later.
He also had the following comments:
Jones asserts that litigation activities have a -9 or larger impact on product quality. That simplification risks mis-reading the cause and effect of his point.
Having observed a couple of malpractice-related proceedings, and in discussions held both before and after same, I've observed that there's nothing quite like actual discovery and/or litigation to sharpen an engineer's senses regarding their personal impact on overall product quality. When done well, the event can be a HUGE positive turning point for an organization---assuming they survive it, that is.
Good managers teach their employees that the whole point of discovery and litigation is to get at the TRUTH behind an event, and that even if the overall finding is unfavorable, having the truth out in the open is always better than attempting to hide it.
"The truth is always the path of least energy." (*)
Shortly thereafter, engineers become paranoid at the thought of standing in front of a jury of grandparents and explaining why their "bad day" caused someone's injury or loss. Those engineers stop producing altogether for a while.
Once an engineer gains confidence that his employer won't throw him under the bus, however, something cool happens: he starts writing code (or designing circuits, etc.) that he WILL stand behind. And in an even more ideal world, he'll start openly and constructively challenging his peers to do likewise so that they can stand behind the system as a whole.
(*) - I just made that up, but I think that something similar has been said before.
It's a little scary to think of litigation being a force for improving software engineering. But this is an interesting point. Then there's the law of unintended consequences: I have seen engineering departments strip documentation from the code, because that will have to be produced during the discovery phase of a case. Sometimes engineers aren't allowed to maintain engineering notebooks for the same reason.
Mat Brennion wrote:
I think Gary Lynch is being a little harsh:
"But with the passage of time, I have been finding fewer and fewer people who understand me when I try to explain this standard. They seem to be trained to believe you have to ship product with known defects and deal with them only when somebody complains. I fear when you and I are gone, no one will remember that it used to be different."
Personally I'm amazed at the millions of lines of code on my phone that just work, pretty much perfectly, pretty much of the time. Just think about the code involved in rendering a font on the screen – there's font libraries, graphic drivers, windowing systems, right down to trig functions for working out the curves. The question should be why are we embedded engineers so slow? One answer is that often embedded / safety critical software must be shown to be correct before it is deployed, as it's hard or impossible to update it in service. This need will always remain, but is dwarfed by the quantity of software for which that constraint is relaxed.
Mat makes a good point. For a very long time I've been focused on improving the quality of embedded systems, so tend to see the problems rather than the successes. Fact is, we have built an astonishing world that works incredibly well. Yes, a few times a year my iPhone goes wonkers and has to be rebooted. But most of the time it functions perfectly. The roads are filled with cars whose systems compute correctly almost all of the time.
We have to continually improve, of course, but embedded engineers deserve a salute for the incredible products that enrich so many lives. Here are the very first paragraphs of my first book, published in 1992:
These are the days of miracles and wonders - Paul Simon
How many of us designing microprocessor based products can explain our jobs at a cocktail party? To the average consumer the word "computer" conjures up images of mainframes or PCs. He blithely disregards or is perhaps unaware of the tremendous number of little processors that are such an important part of everyones' daily lives. He wakes up to the sound of a computer-generated alarm, eats a breakfast prepared with a digital microwave, and drives to work in a car with a virtual dashboard. Perhaps a bit fearful of new technology, he'll tell anyone who cares to listen that a pencil is just fine for writing, thank you; computers are just too complicated.
So many products that we take for granted simply couldn't exist without an embedded computer! Thousands owe their lives to sophisticated biomedical instruments like CAT scanners, implanted heart monitors and sonograms. Ships as well as pleasure vessels navigate by LORANs and SATNAVs that tortuously iterate non-linear position equations. State of the art DSP chips in traffic radar detectors attempt to thwart the police, playing a high tech cat and mouse game with the computer in the authority's radar gun. Compact Disk players give perfect sound reproduction using high integration devices that provide error correction and accurate track seeking.
It seems somehow appropriate that, like molecules and bacteria, we disregard computers in our day to day lives. The microprocessor has become part of the underlying fabric of late twentieth century civilization. Our lives are being subtly changed by the incessant information processing that surrounds us.
Microprocessors offer far more than minor conveniences like TV remote control. One ultimately crucial application is reduced consumption of limited natural resources. Smart furnaces use solar input and varying user demands to efficiently maintain comfortable temperatures. Think of it - a fleck of silicon saving mountains of coal! Inexpensive programmable sprinklers make off-peak water use convenient, reducing consumption by turning the faucet off even when forgetful humans are occupied elsewhere. Most industrial processes rely on some sort of computer control to optimize energy use and to meet EPA discharge restrictions. Electric motors are estimated to use some 50% of all electricity produced - cheap motor controllers that net even tiny efficiency improvements can yield huge power savings. Short of whole new technologies that don't yet exist, smart, computationally intense use of resources may offer us the biggest near-term improvements in the environment.
Even today we have only the most limited ways to troubleshoot a blown stack, or to estimate how much to allocate. Million line programs with explosive numbers of automatic variables and intricate inheritance schemes chew through stack space while masking the all of the important usage details. Add asynchronous nested interrupt processing and we're faced with a huge unknown: how big should the stack or stacks be? Most developers use the scientific method to compute anticipated stack requirements.
We take a wild guess.
Get it wrong and you're either wasting RAM or inserting a deadly bug that might not surface for years when the perfect storm of interrupts and deep programmatic stack usage coincide.
I've read more than a few academic papers outlining alternative approaches that typically analyze the compiler's assembly listings. But without complete knowledge of the runtime library's requirements, and that of other bits of add-in software like communications packages, these ideas generally collapse.
However, there are a few products today that can predict stack needs. An example is IAR's toolchain that does stack usage prediction. It does so for each call graph root - a function that is not called by any other code, like the program entry point. Interestingly, interrupts are also roots, and the tool predicts stack needs for each of those.
AdaCore's GNATstack takes Ada or C code and generates an assessment of required stack space. It, too, produces a separate assessment of interrupt needs.
With both tools it's left to the developer to decide, or perhaps take a wild guess at, how many different interrupts could be nested in the worst case. They also can't track stack space consumed by function pointers.
They're all ex post facto, of course - you don't know much much stack is needed till the code is complete. (A wise engineer will monitor the numbers throughout development.) In a limited RAM situation one could discover very late in the project that the system can't be built without a redesign of the hardware.
Absent these tools we can monitor stack consumption using a variety of methods, like filling a newly-allocated stack with a pattern (I like 0xDEAD) and keeping an eye on how much of that gets overwritten. Some RTOSes include provisions to log high-water marks. Micrium has a nice paper about this, as does Express Logic.
Some years ago Ben Jackson suggested:
One trick I used last year is to use GCC's '-finstrument-functions' flag which brackets every compiled function with enter/exit function calls. You can write an enter function which tests the amount of stack space left. It's not ideal, but it can save a lot of time. After I did this for the kernel to track down a problem, one of the application engineers applied the idea to a thread-intensive application and found several potential problems.
Another trick is to look for functions where people have mistakenly put large structures or arrays on the stack. Use a tool like 'objdump' to disassemble your program and then a one-line awk or perl script to find the first 'sub...esp' in each function and sort them by size. If you find an irq with 'struct huge', it's just waiting to blow your stack.
But these are all ultimately reactive. We take a stack-size guess and then start debugging. When something goes wrong, change the source code to increase the stack's size. It violates my sense of elegance, paralleling as it does the futile notion of testing quality into a product. It's better to insert correctness from the outset. But there seems to be no hint of an approach that predicts stack size early in a project.
The Barr Group will have a free webinar about figuring stack size in September. I plan to listen in.

Two items this issue. First, Paul Carpenter sent me a link to a site of developer humor which could be a great way to lose many hours.
And second, Scott Nowell sent this bit of amusing irony:
I could argue with the accuracy of your second sentence in this piece "Alas, only a tiny fraction of us use any standard religiously."
The sad truth is too many engineers do use standards religiously, i.e., once or twice a year.

The Amazon Rainforest is Burning Down!
October 7, 2019
A fifth of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed in the past half-century, farmers have been burning down parts of it for farmland, and now the amount of fires started is more than ever.
The Amazon rainforest produces 20% of the world's oxygen, with it burning down, scientists predict it will cause health problems, less oxygen, more carbon dioxide means an increase in global warming. The Amazon forest has thousands of different animal species and over 50,000 types of plants and trees. The Amazon has one of the largest diversity of life on the planet.
People are burning the Amazon for many reasons. 40% is because of pasture (cattle ranching). 30-40% is small and large scale agriculture. 5-8% is logging.
The number of fires recorded is more than double than in 2013 (39,584 fires), Now in 2019, there have been 80,626 fires recorded.
Last year Brazil elected a new president, Jair Boslonaro, and the situation is only getting worse. The president decreased the protection laws for the rainforest. Many people are protesting against burning the rainforest.
We interviewed some students and they said this is wrong and it has to be stopped. Isabel Gillay, West seventh-grader, stated, "This is sad because there are thousands of species in the Amazon, and they know nothing about escaping fires."

FUN FACTS WITH HAMLET THE HAMSTER Facts About the Human Heart The thump thump of a heart beat is the sound made by the valves of the heart opening and closing. The hard working muscular organ isn't very big! The adult heart is the size of a large fist. The human heart beats 35 million times a year. That's 2.5 billion times through your life! All of the blood in your body travels through your heart once every minute. Now that's fast! A woman's heart beats faster than a man's. With a woman's at 78 beats per minute and a man's at 70 beats per minute. Every cell in the body gets blood from the
heart except your corneas. Blood is actually a tissue. If all the blood vessels in your body were
laid out end to end, they would extend to 100,000 kms! That's almost 2 1/2 times around the Earth! A kitchen faucet would need to be turned on all the way for 45 years to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an average life time. The youngest person to receive heart surgery was one minute old. Laughing is good for your heart. It lowers blood pressure and reduces stress hormone levels, improving overall cardiovascular health. The heart has its own electrical supply and will continue to beat when separated from the body as long as it has a supply of oxygen. But don't try this at home!

Vanguard founder Jack Bogle helped spearhead the low-cost index fund, putting average returns within reach of every investor. But you can make superior returns by picking better-than average stocks. Notably, the Australian Finance Group Limited (ASX:AFG) share price has gained 24% in three years, which is better than the average market return. In contrast, the stock is actually down 19% in the last year, suggesting a lack of positive momentum.
View our latest analysis for Australian Finance Group
While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Australian Finance Group was able to grow its EPS at 21% per year over three years, sending the share price higher. The average annual share price increase of 7.3% is actually lower than the EPS growth. So one could reasonably conclude that the market has cooled on the stock. This cautious sentiment is reflected in its (fairly low) P/E ratio of 8.13.
The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. This free interactive report on Australian Finance Group's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.
What About Dividends?
As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for Australian Finance Group the TSR over the last 3 years was 62%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return.
A Different Perspective
The last twelve months weren't great for Australian Finance Group shares, which cost holders 13%, including dividends, while the market was up about 9.0%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Fortunately the longer term story is brighter, with total returns averaging about 17% per year over three years. The recent sell-off could be an opportunity if the business remains sound, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long-term growth trend. It is all well and good that insiders have been buying shares, but we suggest you check here to see what price insiders were buying at.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son turns 20 this year and his role model father has a lot to say about his young lad.
Its Christopher Schwarzenegger's birthday and dad Arnold couldn't stop posting a throwback picture of the duo together.
In his tweet, Arnold called Christopher a great student, kind soul, and a fantastic son and added how proud he felt about him.
Happy birthday Christopher! Great student, kind soul, fantastic son. I'm so proud of you, I love you, and I can't wait to see what's next. pic.twitter.com/ITLosZRsQx — Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) September 27, 2017
However, there have been no reports of Christopher celebrating his birthday with his mighty father.
Christopher was last photographed in the month of April sporting a blue shirt, board shorts and trainers in Beverly Hills after he left native Los Angeles for the Midwest and enrolled at the University of Michigan. According to Dail Mail, he had been spotted spending quality time with family having a casual lunch with mother Shriver and sister Katherine.
His parents Arnold and Maria split back in 2011 after reports of Arnold's illegitimate child born to his then-housekeeper Mildred Baena and it took eight years for Arnold to realize about his own offspring's whereabouts. Arnold revealed this last year while promoting his book ' Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story'.
During the promotion, Arnold had mentioned how important his children were for him. According to Mirror Uk , Arnold spoke for over 60 Minutes as he opened up about his love for his marriage and family. He blamed himself and called his divorce with Shriver a failure.
At the moment Christopher's mighty man seemed to have reconciled with his family and was spotted chatting with wife at Christopher's high school graduation last year. Arnold even celebrated Katherine's Birthday in December last year, which Christopher missed as he was in Los Angeles. Now the father-son duo might be up for a big birthday bash and they can't wait to see what's coming next.

Many people are worried about the spread of the novel coronavirus, which orignated in Wuhan, China. In the U.S., there are far fewer cases of novel coronavirus in comparison to 19 million cases of the flu in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Prevention of the novel coronavirus is much the same as the flu, but there are many rumors swirling around about how best to protect against it. [Get the latest coronavirus information and other resources from UC Davis Health.]
There are a couple easy things you can do to help prevent yourself and others from getting sick. Our experts offer their advice:
1. Aim for your elbow when you cough or sneeze
Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children's Hospital, explains that coughing or sneezing into your elbow limits the spread of droplets in the air.
"In the old days, we were taught to cover our mouths with our hands," Blumberg said. "That was not great because we got all the germs on our hands and then we touched things, spreading germs all over. Cough or sneeze into your elbow is recommended because you are unlikely to touch that area and transmit germs to others."
2. Wash your hands for 20 seconds each time
Spending a few extra seconds at the sink with soap and water can help eliminate the spread of germs. Rachel Robertson, a pediatrician at UC Davis Children's Hospital, recommends using warm water and singing "Happy Birthday" in your head (or aloud, if you prefer).
Make sure the soap covers all portions of the hands, including in between the fingers and on your palms, and wash for 20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly to get all the soapy residue off. When you turn the faucet off, you can use a paper towel to make sure you don't dirty your hands again.
3. Experts don't recommend wearing masks
There's been some misinformation spread that masks will help you from getting the novel coronavirus. Blumberg said this is not a recommendation from the health care community.
The regular surgical masks (which are the thinner, paper masks) help protect others when you're sick. When you cough, the droplets and infectious material get stopped by the mask.
On the other hand, doctors and nurses who are around sick people wear a thicker, tighter-fitting mask called an N-95 mask. These provide a much better seal and protects medical professionals by filtering from the outside. Blumberg said it is not recommended that the general public wear these masks in everyday life.
"When you're out and about, just stay away from sick people," Blumberg said.

Populist party 50Plus, which is campaigning for a lower pension age, has not ruled out forming part of a coalition with the anti-Islam PVV after the March general election.
Campaign leader Henk Krol says in an opinion piece into Tuesday's Volkskrant that he has two conditions for joining forces with the PVV. Firstly, the party must commit to reducing the state pension age back to 65 and secondly, the party must change its standpoint on refugees.
50Plus backs a tough and just policy in which the Netherlands will contribute to the care of people confronted by violence and death, Krol said.
In addition, a refusal to work with the PVV after the March 15 election will only generate more support for the party, he said. Opinion pollster Maurice de Hond and VVD stalwart Hans Wiegel have both suggested excluding Geert Wilders' party will increase its share of the vote.
'We oppose helping the PVV to win more seats,' Krol said.
The PVV is currently leading in the opinion polls. 50Plus, which won two seats at the last election, is on target to take around 10.

Foresight wanted a total rebranding for their NASDAQ listing: a new look, new website, amazing investor presentations & all the marketing material they could possibly need. And they wanted it fast. We delivered.
About Foresight Foresight is a technology company that designs & develops 3D multi-camera-based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Their innovative system enables highly accurate & reliable detection during driving, while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts - even under difficult driving conditions.
The Situation Foresight was about to launch on NASDAQ to raise the capital it needed to grow, but they realized they needed a total brand overhaul. Their existing materials were not going to cut it – their graphics were old-fashioned, their brand identity was not consistent, and they felt that they weren't putting their best face forward for their big investment round.
So, they came to us.
What We Did Working together with the Foresight team, we developed a new, modern look. We built a wide range of graphics to describe clearly & simply what their system actually does – transforming dry, technical data into accurate messaging shared through a sharp, impressive visual language. We then tackled their website – designing & developing a completely new site to showcase what the company does, including product details, and competitive advantages. All was done in an accessible manner, with a smooth visual and story flow. One of the tactical decisions we made was to keep the original Foresight logo, but to build a whole new brand identity around it. This included a new color palette, new fonts, graphic design elements, animation, and a platform for their blog.
All done in three weeks.
VIDEOS We designed an animated video to illustrate the system's performance in a clear & straightforward way, translating technical language & details into a visual language so the viewer can easily understand the system and get a sense of its capabilities.
MESSAGING We formulated sharp & concise messaging to highlight Foresight's power:
Happy Clients Ariel Dor, Co-CEO of Foresight, says, "We wanted something new, we needed to make a good impression, and we needed it done fast. Porat Shalev immediately understood our business goals. They provided us with a new look that completely served our needs. Not only does it look good – it also works."
We loved this project. We love with startups that are about to take their next big leap, and we also like all things car-related. The challenge here was to transform complicated, technical and (let's face it) potentially boring info and turn it into a sleek, impressive visual experience that matches the coolness of the product. We think we nailed it.

It covers everything from climbing up blossoms for sunlight or color, vining perennials, annuals, tropicals, and also even vining veggies.
20 Excellent Trellis Plants For Your Garden
When you're seeking plants to grow in your upright yard, trellis plants are the noticeable front runner. Lucky for us there are great deals of various types of climbing plants out on the marketplace nowadays.
Whether you're seeking perennial flowering creeping plants that will grow back yearly, fast-growing annuals or climbing up vegetables, you'll locate some excellent options in this listing.
If you're new to vertical gardening, then I suggest reading my ultimate guide to expanding up and down to discover every little thing you require to understand!
Right here's the listing of 20 of the most effective trellis plants that you will certainly like …
Everybody will certainly be looking for various vertical horticulture ideas, so I've arranged my checklist of vine plants down right into two separate categories– vining flowers as well as vining vegetables.
Hopefully that will certainly make it much easier for you to locate what you're looking for. I'll begin with the very best climbing flowers initially, then give you a listing of vining vegetables after that.
This very first area is all about blooming trellis plants. I've better damaged down this checklist right into annuals, tropicals, and also seasonal climbing plants. Anybody can grow the annual climbing up flowers.
If you live in a warm climate, then you may likewise have the ability to expand much of the vines provided in the tropical climbing flowers section as well.
Those people that reside in cold climates will likely be much more curious about the my list of cold durable climbing plants below that.
I'll start this section with my list of annual flowering creeping plants. These are all great climbing blossoms that will certainly grow to cover a yard trellis or various other vertical frameworks extremely swiftly, as well as add tons of shade to your yard.
The tradeoff is that they are all yearly plants, which means they will not expand back following year.
1. Vining nasturtium– If you've never grown nasturtium in your yard before, after that you certainly should include this set to your checklist. Nasturtiums have brilliant, gorgeous flowers that not only look good, they're edible also! An excellent addition to either the blossom garden or to mix into your veggie beds. Amazon.com Gem as well as Spitfire are 2 of my preferred climbing nasturtium varieties.
2. Black-eyed Susan creeping plant– These bright and attractive full sun climbing creeping plants grow just as well on a trellis the yard or in container vertical yards. Black-eyed Susan vines are vigorous mountain climbers, and also make a wonderful backdrop to various other flowers in the garden.
3. Early morning glory– Another fantastic yearly flowering creeping plant, morning magnificences are fast growing trellis plants. They expand to be really high, so they would be perfect for rapidly covering big structures like arbors and also arches. Early morning magnificences grow well completely sun to component shade.
4. Sweet pea– Aromatic climbing plants with charming flowers, pleasant peas are little vining plants excellent for yard trellises as well as planters. Wonderful peas are very simple to expand, but favor the cooler temperature levels of springtime and fall.
5. Petunias– Generally grown as routing plants, petunias make great trellis plants also. They can be trained to expand vertically on a small trellis or pillar, and are ideal for expanding in pots or in the garden. Petunias are great for the complete sunlight, but they grow very well partially color too.
The climbing up flowers in this checklist are remarkable for expanding in your yard if you reside in a cozy environment with moderate winter seasons.
But don't fret, also if your wintertimes are as chilly as ours are, you can still expand these beautiful climbing blooming vines! Just grow them in pots and also overwinter them inside.
6. Jasmine– Among my favorite fragrant flowers, jasmine are absolutely stunning climbing plants! I want I could expand them in my garden, I would certainly grow them beside every home window so I can appreciate their divine aroma inside too. Jasmine are terrific climbing flowers, and they expand very well in pots for us north garden enthusiasts.
7. Bougainvillea– If you can expand bougainvillea in your garden, you are so fortunate! This set will just expand in hot environments of zones 10+. This dense vining plant is covered by brilliant flowers virtually year round, and I swoon over it every single time I go to The golden state.
8. Enthusiasm blossom– An additional plant that I envy anyone that can grow it, passion flowers are climbing plants that such as full sunlight. They have striking blossoms that are extremely special, and the tall vines would look amazing expanding on a pergola, arbor, or huge yard supports for climbing up plants.
9. Mandevilla– Frequently sold growing in pots in cooler climates like mine, mandevilla are blossoming vine plants that are durable only in the hottest expanding areas (10-11). They aren't too difficult to overwinter however, so maintain that in mind if you're not lucky sufficient to live somewhere warm enough to expand them in your yard.
If you reside in a cold climate like I do, after that you will certainly want to add a few of these cool durable climbing plants to your garden. The plants in this checklist are all cold durable seasonal climbing creeping plants, so they will return year after year.
10. Climbing up roses– If you're seeking climbing up perennials for sunlight, then climbing roses are for you! Climbing roses aren't vine plants that mature an upright assistance on their own, yet they have lengthy flexible branches that can be educated and also connected to expand on arbors as well as trellises. These perennial climbing blossoms look stunning as the backdrop in any type of garden, and they are really sturdy.
11. Wisteria– I'm not lucky sufficient to be able to grow wisteria in my yard (so close though!), however if you're in a warm sufficient area for it (areas 5-10), then I very recommend including this to your checklist. Wisteria grows in full sun to part color, and also makes an extremely dramatic statement when grown over large arbors, arches as well as pergolas.
12. Ivy– Due to the fact that they're only grown for the vegetation, ivies are remarkable trellis plants for shade. There are great deals of various varieties of ivy plants, as well as some are more hardy than others so be sure to check the tag for strength before growing this in your garden.
13. Herald Creeping plant– The big creeping plants of the trumpet blossom are some of the most effective climbing plants for pergolas as well as various other high upright gardening structures. Trumpet vines are lovely, and are and also butterfly magnets. The vines can grow to be as thick as little tree trunks, so be sure you grow this on an extremely strong, irreversible structure.
14. Honeysuckle– If you're trying to find seasonal blooming creeping plants that are incredibly hardy and super easy to expand, after that honeysuckle would be excellent. Honeysuckles are rapid expanding climbing creeping plants that will promptly cover trellises and also arbors. They can grow anywhere from complete sun to part color (mine expands as well as blossoms extremely well in the shade), so you can grow them just about anywhere in your garden.
15. Clematis– Clematis are remarkable perennial trellis plants that can expand anywhere from sun to partial color. The most effective part concerning clematis vines is that they are available in a variety of shades, and also several kinds bloom at various times throughout the year. So, if you mix as well as match the different selections, you'll have growing climbing up plants in your garden all summertime long!
If you want some fast expanding climbing up plants for your yard, after that vining veggies could just be what you're seeking. Trellising vegetables not just looks beautiful, it's additionally much better for the plants.
When you trellis vegetables as opposed to leave them to sprawl on the ground, the plants have less concerns with parasites and also disease. Plus, the vegetables are less complicated to harvest, and also they look much better also!
Simply understand that there are compact bush varieties for the majority of the veggie plants I have listed here. So be sure to read the plant tag or seed package when you're searching for what veggies can be expanded on a trellis.
Here are some of the most effective vining veggies for vertical horticulture.
16. Cucamelon– If you've never become aware of cucamelons, it's due to the fact that they were just introduced a few years back. Cucamelons are amazing climbing up vine plants that have beautiful, thick foliage best for developing a privacy screen or hiding something unsightly in your garden. They will certainly execute their finest in full sun, however if you don't mind giving up some of the harvest, cucamelons are great climbers for shade as well.
17. Cucumbers– Many individuals hesitate to expand cucumbers on a trellis, but they are remarkable rapid expanding climbers that will cover a trellis rapidly. Cucumbers can grow in full sun to partial color, as well as are excellent climbing plants for lean-tos, arbors and a-frame trellises. Two of my favorite varieties are Sumter and Marketmore.
18. Squash and also gourds– Believe it or not, you can expand large vining vegetables like squash and gourds on a sturdy trellis, arbor or pergola. I expand them on my squash arc each year, but they would certainly additionally grow very well on other large upright garden plant supports like pergolas and also arbors. Butternut, Delicata and also Sugar Pie Pumpkins are a few of my favored squash plants to grow vertically.
19. Peas– If you're seeking small vining plants to grow in your yard, peas are a fantastic option. Peas are climbing plants that like color, particularly if you stay in a hot climate. These lightweight creeping plants are best for expanding on tiny trellis structures, or a cute tower trellis in your yard.
20. Pole beans– Among the best trellis plants for individuals searching for rapid expanding mountain climbers for their garden, pole beans are a must. They are easy to expand climbing plants, and the vines will promptly cover high vertical garden frameworks like pergolas and also trellises. Beans like to grow completely sun the very best, yet will certainly still create lots of food partly color. Blue Lake as well as Kentucky Marvel are outstanding ones to expand.
I really hope that you have actually located the very best vining plants to expand in your garden. Heck, perhaps I've even motivated you to grow greater than you were preparing (time to mount a new trellis in the garden?)!
Trellis plants are wonderful for including elevation, appeal and also interest to your yard. I encourage you to grow lots of different ranges of climbing up flowers, and mix in as many trellis veggies as you can too.

During my last work trip, I did a lot of bouncing around:
During my last work trip, I did a lot of bouncing around:
And it's a big one – 5 years! Half a decade of hard work to finally speak French, and to consistently write in English. But on Sunday I forgot all about it in the midst of a bunch of craziness.
Had I remembered my blogiversary on the correct day, I would have realized how perfect the timing was. On Sunday I returned to New York from South Jersey filled with renewed motivation to get back on the language horse. That's because I spent the preceding week with my family and was amazed and inspired by how my seven year-old niece has picked up Spanish practically overnight.
When I left the United States for Senegal at the beginning of January, my niece was two days into the bilingual English-Spanish program at her new school. All her classmates had started the program a half-year earlier because their parents had signed their kids up at the end of the previous school year. But Hannah and her family moved into the school district over the summer, and by the time they tried to sign her up, the program was at capacity. My brother and sister-in-law put her on the wait list and she joined the English-only track in the meantime.
In December, Hannah got the news that a space had opened up and she could start the bilingual track in the new year. My brother told me not to mention it to Hannah before I left, because she wasn't looking forward to leaving her new friends and starting all over again with yet another set of new classmates. I thought that was a small price to pay for becoming fluent in a second language at a young age, but of course a seven year-old (six at the time) wouldn't share that sentiment.
Cut to three and a half months later. When I hung out with Hannah, I made sure not to bring up Spanish in case it was still a sensitive subject. Instead, it was she who randomly answered a question from her mom with a Spanish response. Thinking this was my opening, I asked her how Spanish was going. Because she is seven, she couldn't give her parents (who were in the room) the satisfaction of thinking that she had come around to their point of view, so she insisted over and over again that she hated Spanish – in Spanish. "Why?" I asked. "Porque es un otro lenguaje," she answered in a perfect accent. In the ten minutes of Spanish conversation that followed, I struggled to remember how to say the most basic words and phrases, and she answered flawlessly, effortlessly, mellifluously. I told her that I was both incredibly impressed and incredibly jealous of her Spanish abilities and she rolled her eyes.
Yes, Hannah, I know that feeling. When I was approximately seven my mom hired a Hebrew tutor to come to the house and give me lessons after school. I still remember it with the visceral responses I had then, of life-threatening boredom mixed with intense desperation to escape. I don't know what happened with the tutoring – I'm pretty sure it didn't last longer than a couple of months. Maybe I moped about it so much that my mom gave in and discontinued the lessons. Thirty years later, I would give at least one good finger to go back in time and sit through those stupid lessons no matter how mind-numbing they were.
So, even though Hannah was not in the least excited about her newfound Spanish, I could not have been more excited for her. Clearly, one of my biggest unfulfilled wishes in life is that I had been raised bilingual or at least schooled bilingually. I would have saved so much trouble and hard work that way, with a better result than what I've got now after years of struggle and effort: inconsistent proficiency rather than fluency in French, ridiculously grasping Spanish, and exceptionally faltering Hebrew. I'd know how it feels to have two different but equally accessible forms of expression at my disposal, to toggle between two different worlds with ease. I will never know what that's like and it really bothers me.
But, just because I'll never have two equally balanced fluent languages in my brain doesn't mean I shouldn't keep trying to learn other languages to the best of my ability. Without realizing it, my niece inspired me to get back to work. I am going to sign up for a Rosetta Stone subscription so that I can learn Spanish right along with her (or a few steps behind her, more likely).
When I started this blog five years ago my goals were to move to Senegal, learn to speak French fluently, and learn Spanish and Hebrew pretty well. I would say I've gotten about 50% there. On my fifth blogiversary (plus a few days), it feels appropriate to set a new goal for the next five years of this blog. Here it is: Go the remaining 50%. 💪
[The photo is a drawing that Hannah gave me last week. Apparently it is the cover to a blank book about the three little pigs; I think the point was that I was supposed to fill in the book. Because she is somehow a full-on Spanish speaker after three months of immersion, she wrote the title of the book in Spanish first, and then in English.]
Over the years, I've gathered a few highly subjective observations about what it's like to be romantically involved with French men as an American woman. I'd been waiting to share them until enough time had gone by and enough men had been dated to ensure that none of the people in question would be able to identify themselves. I had also been waiting to hit some critical age and self-comfort level at which I would no longer care whether everyone on the Internet has access to my private life. I'm realizing I will never reach that age or comfort level – and yet I still want to write about certain things that have amused or perplexed me.
So I will. I will just be as vague and discrete as possible – which, I fear, is not very much. Anyway, on with it. Continue reading
Whenever I come across French-English faux amis – words that sound or look alike but have two different meanings – I think about the relationship that the words do have with each other. Many times they share a Latin root, and each word's definition adds an interesting nuance to the other's – often to amusing effect.
Take for example the following French words versus their English false friends:
défunt (deceased) vs defunct (no longer existing or functioning)
préservatif (condom) vs preservative (a substance used to preserve foodstuffs and other materials against decay)
imprégner (to soak or permeate, as in these confusing matches) vs impregnate (most common definition: make a female pregnant; less common definition: soak or saturate with a substance)
corpulence (a person's build) vs corpulence (obesity)
ignorer (most common definition: to not know; less common definitions: to have no experience of or to ignore) vs. ignore (refuse to take notice of or acknowledge; disregard intentionally)
négligé (neglected, slovenly, scruffy) vs negligee (a women's dressing gown, typically made of a light, filmy fabric)
I just find these pairings delightful, don't you? Not as delightful: telling people – on more than one occasion – that there are way too many condoms in American food.
Which reminds me of one last, classic faux ami that embarrasses every French learner at some point or another: While "excité" can in certain circumstances refer to nearly the same thing as the English "excited," it is more often used to refer to sexual arousement. So, don't go around telling your French colleagues or in-laws, for example, that you are excité to see them.
If you've got other interesting faux amis to add, please let me know!
Also, a PS: Once, I was pleased to find a word (well, really a phrase) in French, "mal de terre," for which I didn't know the English equivalent. I had never heard the word "landsickness" before, and in fact I didn't even know the concept of landsickness existed until it happened to me.
Recently, I came across the phrase "sea legs" used to describe "the illusion of motion felt on dry land after spending time at sea," i.e. landsickness. I had always thought of "getting your sea legs" as adjusting to the motion of a boat on the water so that it ceases to be felt, but apparently it can refer to landsickness, too. I'm learning English right alongside French!

I tend to beat myself up about things: "Why did you say that?" "You shouldn't have done that." "What the hell was that about?"
I've made an effort to be more self-forgiving – to treat myself as I would a friend – but when I muddle things up in French, the compulsion to judge myself harshly is pretty strong.
Here are some counterarguments I've started making to shut down the self-flagellation. Continue reading
I've noticed that whenever I throw myself back into immersive French after a long stretch of barely using it, I experience something like the Tetris effect, which used to plague me for days at a time after playing too much of the game as a kid. Random word nuggets will pop into my head unbidden, apropos of nothing, and I'll silently repeat them to myself – over and over and over again – until a new strange phrase appears from out of nowhere to take its place. Yesterday it was, "On ne sait jamais ce qu'il va faire" – You never know what he's going to do. I have no idea who "he" is, yet this phrase colonized my brain-space for the better part of a day. This morning, meanwhile, I kept saying to myself, "Tu vas avoir un petit problème là" – "You're going to have a bit of a problem with that." What "that" is, again, I have no idea.
Does anyone else experience this?

It seems I'm in French withdrawal.
My first weekend back in New York, I went to lunch with my parents and we had a francophone waiter. I knew this not because he spoke anything less than the most perfect English with us, but because I overheard him conversing with his colleague in French by the cash register. Despite telling myself sternly, "Do not be that person, Ruth" some ineffable force compelled me to switch into French and ask him where he was from. Congo, apparently, and his colleague was from Senegal.
Since then, there's been the father and his two kids on the subway, the vacationing couple at the restaurant in Hanoi, the retirees on the ferry in Hong Kong, the woman looking for a street downtown, the man watching his kids play in Central Park… Every time I hear anyone speak French – or even English with a French accent – I wrack my brain for a way to break into their conversation, en français, without seeming too desperate. Many times I can't find one, and I am able to keep my mouth shut. But sometimes, my tongue disobeys my brain and follows my heart into the most awkward exchanges. Without fail, I feel silly about it, yet I keep doing it anyway.
I used to be mortified whenever my mother, a Brooklynite who moved to Israel in her 20's and returned to the States in her 30's, would butt in on strangers' conversations after she overheard them speaking Hebrew. We'd be in the middle of the English-speaking world – a mall in New Jersey or a cafe in New York – and this native English speaker would find any excuse to say something to the Israelis in Hebrew. It always seemed that my introverted mother did this not because she truly wanted to engage with other human beings but because she wanted validation of her identity in the kin group. No matter what she said to them, all I ever heard was a pathetic, "Wink wink, I'm one of you!"
Now that I have caught myself pulling the same stunt on multiple occasions, I think of it a little differently.
I suppose there is a small part of me that has something to prove: that I can still speak the language, or that I belong with the foreigners in my midst. But most of it has nothing to do with pride (which is good because there is nothing ego-boosting about sounding like a complete dope). Instead, the overpowering desire to speak French comes from…wanting to speak French. I have so few opportunities these days that when I see one, I can't pass it up.
I don't really miss France, but I really, really miss French. It's a beautiful language, and I love it. I guess my mother feels the same way about Hebrew.
So to that I say,
!כל הכבוד*
*Kol hakavod, i.e., "All the honor," i.e., You go, girl!

Fantasy Football, Matt Forte and The Trestman FPPRR Effect.
Today's must-read non-RotoViz article comes from Rich Hribar, wherein he adds more fuel to the "Trestman Will Do Wonders For the Bears Offense" fire.
Earlier this summer, I wrote that Matt Forte could have an excellent season under Trestman, scoring up to 17.5 points/game in PPR formats. I also highlighted Forte's excellent receiving skills here.
As a Matt Forte apologist myself, I latched on to this part of his article:
In seven of the eight seasons with Trestman as OC, he had a back top 90 receiving points. Five times they topped 100 points and in 2002, Charlie Garner topped 200 receiving points…He's [Matt Forte] the only running back along with Sproles and Rice to post four seasons of 100+ receiving points in the past five years.
Remember, that's just points/game from receiving; it doesn't include rushing totals. At the high end, these receiving points/game almost match RotoViz's TOTAL projection for Forte. Hint: try our RB Sim App to see for yourself.
In recent drafts, Forte is going off the board at the top of the second round, as RB 12. He certainly seems worthy of a selection there, as he's primed to put up RB1 numbers.
Finally, make sure to check out Rich's excellent article for the full explanation of their new metric, Fantasy Points Per Route Run (FPPRR). I'm looking forward to the next installment.
