Agency History # 1104
The Utah Semi-Centennial Commission (1896-1898) was created by the First Legislature as an independent state agency through approval of a joint resolution passed April 5, 1896 (Laws of Utah, 1896, chapter C, pp. 333-334).
The commission's purpose was to conduct a semi-centennial celebration in 1897, the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the Utah Pioneers in Utah. Called "The Utah Pioneer Jubilee," the celebration was held in Salt Lake City on July 20-25, 1897. Having completed its work, the commission terminated activity in early 1898.
In providing for the observance, the authorizing legislation charged the commission "to control and conduct" the semi-centennial celebration. The body was authorized "to fix the time and place for holding such celebration, which time shall include the 24th day of July, 1897." Opening ceremonies included the unveiling of a monument honoring Brigham Young and the pioneers and a reception honoring the surviving pioneers, at which each received a gold Pioneer Badge. The commission had earlier conducted a survey to identify surviving pioneers. The handwritten responses, bound together in two volumes, were designated as "The Book of the Pioneers" and deposited in the archives of the state. Relics, souvenirs and curios donated by surviving pioneers were collected by the commission, catalogued, and displayed in the Hall of Relics. The collection was intended by the commission to form the nucleus of an exhibit for a future State Historical Society. The commission conducted a poetry contest and sponsored singing and music writing competitions. Other events included such amusements as concerts, plays, athletic contests (baseball tournament, football games, track and field competition, and bicycle races), various parades, an electrical display on Main Street, and pyrotechnic displays at Saltair and on Capitol Hill. The commission was "empowered to raise funds to meet necessary expenses...by public subscription, and in such other manner as may be determined." In addition to public subscriptions, the commission sold silver Jubilee Cups, sold official programmes, and charged admission to events.
The commission was composed of fifteen members. Original officers appointed by commission members included a chairman, secretary, and treasurer. A director-general and press bureau chief were later appointed. Commission members also served as chairmen of the various standing committees.
The joint resolution providing for a semi-centennial celebration directed Governor Heber M. Wells to appoint ten persons to a commission. Commissioners qualified on November 20, 1896, and immediately organized as "The Utah Semi-Centennial Commission." Standing committees appointed by the chairman were formed in January 1897. Committees included: Advertising, Amusements, Children's Day, County Display, Decoration, Design, Electrical Display, Finance, Fireworks, Floats and Parades, Invitation, Legislative, Music, Pioneers, and Railroads. Subsequent legislative action approved March 11, 1897, authorized the appointment of five additional members, who were named by the executive. Commissioners served without compensation. Five peoplean assistant director-general, an assistant secretary, an assistant press bureau chief, and three clerkswere employed by the commission.

When the friendships you have with your wedding party are priceless, how do you decide what's appropriate to spend on their thank-you gifts?
There's actually no clear-cut answer, says Elise Mac Adam, author of "Something New: Wedding Etiquette for Rule Breakers, Traditionalists, and Everyone In Between" (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008). "The key is to come up with a total amount that's comfortable for you to spend and then go from there." So, if your event is a mostly DIY affair for 40 people, no one is expecting you to dole out $2,000 Givenchy totes.
In addition to budget, the number of attendants and how much they are shelling out on you (i.e. if your 'maids are spending $500 on attire, getting their hair and makeup done, and traveling across country, a $15 plastic bangle may be a little unbalanced) can play a part in the items you select. But wedding planner Susan Cordogan of Chicago-based Big City Bride say they typically see couples spend around $50 to $200 per person. Also, keep in mind that the maid of honor and best man often receive an extra special gift, and no matter what you give, don't forget a sincere note of thanks Mac Adam adds.
Aim to have gifts purchased at least a month in advance, but feel free to pass them out at any time. If you want a more intimate setting to say thank you to your ladies, Cordogan suggests doing it during a bridesmaid luncheon (or a hot towel shave outing for the guys). It's also quite common to do it combined with a toast during the rehearsal dinner, when all your closest friends and family are assembled, says Mac Adam, especially if it's a gift that could be used during the wedding itself.

UPS is enlisting 2,600 extra workers and even 900 managers to drive trucks as it continues its struggle to deliver belated Christmas presents.
The shipping company also reminded customers in a statement that they could pick up packages to help speed the process.
"UPS pickup and delivery operations are operating in all ZIP Codes," the company said. "We experienced heavy holiday volume and are making every effort to get packages to their destination as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience."
The company, along with Federal Express, have blamed the hold-up on a shorter time frame between Thanksgiving and Christmas, bad weather and a high volume of online shopping.

Stability reigns atop class of 2015 Rivals150
UPDATED RIVALS150: Class of 2015
Since the last time the class of 2015 was ranked, there has been plenty of action. Play from the high school season has had a strong impact on the new Rivals150, and play in the upcoming months will surely force more changes. However, in the newest edition of the rankings Mississippi combo guard Malik Newman still holds the top spot and remains the player to beat moving forward.
Top 10 features stability
The biggest news of any ranking update is always at the top spot. Six-foot-3 combo guard Newman of Jackson (Miss.) Callaway was able to fight off all comers, and he continues to rule the class of 2015 roost. An explosive scorer who has added strength and become even more assertive attacking the rim to go along with his deep jump shooting, Newman is an offensive juggernaut deserving of the top spot after leading Callaway to a third straight state title.
In-state programs Mississippi State and Ole Miss would love to have him, but it's no surprise that elite programs such as Duke, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky and many others have been in to see him. So far, Newman has been pretty quiet about his recruitment, and he's not expected to decide any time soon.
Newman isn't the only one staying put near the top of the rankings. The entire top 10 remains intact -- and heavy with post players -- even though there has been a little bit of shuffling inside of it.
Currently pushing Newman the hardest for the top spot is Oakland (Calif.) Bishop O'Dowd big man Ivan Rabb. The 6-foot-9 power forward has expanded his offensive arsenal some to go along with his high-end athleticism, rebounding and ability to run the floor.
Following Rabb, big men Diamond Stone, Stephen Zimmerman, Ben Simmons and Skal Labissiere are all closely packed together in Nos. 3-6. Stone is a polished and skilled low post player from Milwaukee, while Zimmerman is a tall and lanky big from Las Vegas who can run and is at his best facing the hoop. One of only two players in the top 10 who has made an early commitment, the LSU-bound Simmons is a 6-foot-8 native of Australia with abundant athleticism and a versatile game who plays in Florida. A native of Haiti, Labissiere is a slender shot blocker with great hands, good feet and a feel for scoring the ball who has been honing his craft in the Memphis area.
[ THE LIST: Updated Class of 2015 Rivals150 ]
The only other guard in the top 10 is Los Angeles combo guard Tyler Dorsey who checks in at No. 7. An early pledge to Arizona, Dorsey has good size at 6-foot-4, can score or distribute and is an outstanding rebounder.
Rounding out the top 10 are three more big men in Cheick Diallo, Elijah Thomas and Carlton Bragg. Diallo is a high energy rebounder and shot blocker from Mali who attends school in New York. A Texan, Thomas is a back-to-the-basket operator with sure hands, soft touch and a knack for corralling rebounds. Finally, Bragg is probably the most athletic of all the big men in the top 10. The Ohio native flies up and down the court, can make perimeter jumpers and is growing into his lengthy 6-foot-8 frame.
Two new five-stars
This time around, there are only two new five-star prospects. Both point guard Jalen Brunson and center Doral Moore made big jumps during the winter.
A product of Lincolnshire (Ill.) Stevenson, Brunson moved all the way up to No. 14 from No. 28. A 6-foot-1 floor general, he is a very dangerous southpaw shooter with an outstanding feel for the game. He also has tremendous bloodlines as his father Rick is a former Temple star who spent several years as a player and coach in the NBA.
Standing nearly 7-feet tall, Moore is an intriguing center prospect from Locust Grove (Ga.) Luella and made the jump from No. 38 to No. 16. At times, he can disappear from the game when his teammates don't involve him on the offensive end. But he's always a factor defensively and on the glass where his size, length and athleticism give him the ability to develop into a high-level rim protector. When he is involved offensively, he finishes strong at the rim and shows promising touch on short jumpers and jump hooks.
Fast risers and newcomers to keep an eye on
Though neither of them quite made it to five-star territory in this update, guards Justin Simon and Antonio Blakeney are both moving up the rankings quickly and need to be watched closely. A scorer from Florida with bounce and a dangerous jumper, the 6-foot-3 Blakeney rose from No. 56 to No. 29. More of a jack-of-all trades combo guard with 6-foot-5 size, Simon is the best available guard on the West Coast and moved all the way up to No. 23 from No. 80.
Another West Coast product making a big move is Las Vegas small forward Ray Smith. The 6-foot-7 wing put up huge numbers as a junior and climbed 34 spots from No. 66 to No. 32.
The highest ranked newcomer to the 2015 Rivals150 is 6-foot-9 power forward Deyonta Davis. A product of Muskegon (Mich.) High, he is an athletic big who attacks the glass, runs the floor and shows a lot of promise as a mid-range jump shooter. In many ways, he is similar to a young version of Adreian Payne, and like Payne, he's going to play his college ball at Michigan State.
Just behind Davis as a high ranking newcomer is another impressive big man. Greek-born Georgios Papagiannis came over to the States to attend the Westtown (Pa.) School and has made a large impact. At nearly 7-foot-2 with a big frame, he isn't a speed demon but plays with an edge and takes up lots of space. He enters the rankings at No. 44 but could make another big move as we learn more about him. It is important to note, though, that rumors keep swirling that he could return to Greece after his junior season to play pro ball.
Finally, shooting guard Admon Gilder made the single biggest move inside the Rivals150. A 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Dallas (Texas) Madison who is a savvy scorer and high-IQ player, Gilder won his second state title in 2014 and made a meteoric rise of 74 spots from No. 123 all the way to No. 49.

A Missed Opportunity On the Budget
It was a teachable moment - and Barack Obama didn't teach. Unless public opinion changes, we won't end our budget deadlock. As is well-known, Americans want budget deficits curbed. In a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 54 percent urge Congress and the president to "act quickly" and 57 percent prefer spending cuts to tax increases. But there's little support for cuts in Social Security (64 percent opposed), Medicare (56 percent) and Medicaid (47 percent), which together approach half of federal spending. The State of the Union gave Obama the opportunity to confront the contradictions and educate Americans in the unpleasant realities of uncontrolled government. He declined.
What we got were empty platitudes. We won't be "buried under a mountain of debt," Obama declared. Heck, we're already buried. We will "win the future." Not by deluding ourselves, we won't. Americans think deficits are someone else's problem that can be cured by taxing the rich (say liberals) or ending wasteful spending (conservatives). Obama indulged these fantasies.
If deficits stemmed mainly from the recession, this wouldn't matter. They would shrink as the economy recovered; tax collections would rise and spending (on unemployment insurance, food stamps) would fall. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. In fiscal 2010, the deficit - the gap between government spending and revenue - was $1.3 trillion. Of that, about $725 billion was a "structural" deficit, says Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics. That is, it would exist even if the economy were at full employment (5.75 percent by Zandi's estimate).
Even this arithmetic may be misleading. Falling interest rates - reflecting the recession and Federal Reserve policy - have lowered the government's interest payments despite ballooning debt. In 2010, federal interest costs were $197 billion, down from $253 billion in 2008. But as the economy strengthens, interest rates will rise, offsetting some of the recovery's beneficial effect on the deficit. By 2020, annual interest payments could approach $800 billion, projects the Congressional Budget Office.
We cannot have a useful debate on the role of government - what it should do, for whom and at whose expense - if Americans are highly misinformed. Obama should have dispelled some common budgetary myths. Consider three:
l Myth: The problem is the deficit. The real issue isn't the deficit. It's the exploding spending on the elderly - for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - which automatically expands the size of government. If we ended deficits with tax increases, we would simply exchange one problem (high deficits) for another (high taxes). Either would weaken the economy, and sharply higher taxes would represent an undesirable transfer to retirees from younger taxpayers.
l Myth: Eliminating wasteful or ineffective programs will close deficits. The Republican Study Committee - 176 House members - recently proposed $2.5 trillion of cuts over a decade in non-defense, non-elderly programs. This plan would kill dozens of specific programs. Now, many of these programs should go; they're either unneeded or ineffective. Consider one candidate for elimination, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In an information-drenched society, it's hard to justify government subsidies for TV and radio.
But this budget category covers only a sixth of federal spending, and squeezing it harshly would penalize many vital government functions (research, transportation, the FBI). The Republicans' cuts are huge, about 35 percent. Even so, they would reduce projected deficits by at most a third. Over the next decade, those deficits could easily total $7 trillion to $10 trillion.
l Myth: The elderly have "earned" their Social Security and Medicare by their lifelong payroll taxes, which were put aside for their retirement. Not so. Both programs are pay-as-you-go. Today's taxes pay today's benefits; little is "saved." Even if all were saved, most retirees receive benefits that far exceed their payroll taxes. Consider a man who turned 65 in 2010 and earned an average wage ($43,100). Over his expected lifetime, he will receive an inflation-adjusted $417,000 in Social Security and Medicare benefits, compared with taxes paid of $345,000, estimates an Urban Institute study.
It's a cliche, but true: There are no easy - or popular - solutions. Controlling the budget requires some combination of (a) reducing benefits for the elderly; (b) downsizing other programs, including defense; and (c) raising taxes. Not only did Obama avoid choices, but he failed to frame the debate in a way that clarified what the choices are. So public opinion remains muddled, and politicians - sensitive to public opinion - remain stalemated.
Obama's expedient evasion is the opposite of presidential leadership. It maximizes short-term approval ratings while running long-term risks. A loss of investor confidence could trigger a chaotic flight from Treasury bonds and the dollar. One economist recently wrote in the Financial Times: "I hope it does not ultimately require a crisis to restore fiscal [responsibility] . . ., but I fear it will." That was Peter Orszag, Obama's first budget chief. Sobering.

With Public TransportationBART (Bay Area Rapid Transit)BART is a rapid transit system serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The heavy-rail public transit and subway system connects San Francisco with the San Francisco airport (SFO), cities in the East Bay and suburbs in northern San Mateo County, however it does not run to Mountain View. In order to travel to Mountain View via public transportation, you'll need to take CalTrain.CalTrain CalTrain is a commuter rail line on the San Francisco Peninsula and Silicon Valley. It's possible to take CalTrain between Mountain View and San Francisco, SFO & SJC airports, but you should budget a lot of time.
Take the free Shoreline Shuttle between Google and downtown Mountain View Station, thenTo SFO: take a northbound train to Millbrae and switch to BART to SFO (see weekday schedule)To SJC: take a southbound train to the Santa Clara Station (see weekday schedule) and then take the free shuttleA sample schedule between San Francisco and Google Mountain View, courtesy of Google Maps.
You can use Google Maps to help with the Public Transit, but going here (note: you'll have to change the date and time to suit your travels for up-to-date train numbers and times!)
Here are detailed instructions for how to get from SFO to The Wild Palms (thanks to Rick Kos!):
Once you've collected your bags, follow signs (or ask) to the BART station.You can't pay on the train, so upon first entering the BART station, head to a ticket machine and purchase a $4.25 ticket ($1.55 for seniors) from SFO to Millbrae. BART info here (try the "Quick Planner" at the upper left): http://www.bart.gov/ Note that many first-time riders find the ticket machine a little confusing, so give yourself a little extra time.After buying your ticket, ask the agent to point you to the right train/track to get to Millbrae. Stick your ticket in the turnstile and make sure to grab it once it shoots out the other end. You'll need it again.Enjoy the 4-minute ride to Millbrae!At Millbrae, use your BART ticket in the turnstile to exit (the ticket won't shoot out if it contained the exact fare). Head to a Caltrain ticket machine. You can't buy tickets on the train. Purchase a $5.00 one-way ticket TWO ZONE ticket (since the journey from Millbrae to Sunnyvale passes through two Caltrain fare zones). Details: http://www.caltrain.com/Fares/farechart.htmlFollow signs to the southbound (San Jose-bound) platform. Since most of you will travel to Sunnyvale on a weekend, here is the weekend Caltrain schedule - check the southbound part (most trains leave at :39 past the hour from Millbrae): http://www.caltrain.com/schedules/weekendtimetable.htmlThere are no turnstiles for Caltrain - just get on. A conductor may (or may not) check for tickets, so just hang onto it as you ride. Enjoy the 55-minute ride to Sunnyvale. The Wild Palms Hotel is about 2.5 miles from the Sunnyvale station, so I advise a taxi. (bus service on weekends is pretty sparse)
Note: Unfortunately, space is very limited, so we cannot accept any walk-in, drop-in, or unconfirmed participants.

Rinci - Language-neutral metadata for your code entities
This document describes version 1.1.103 of Rinci (from Perl distribution Rinci), released on 2022-10-21.
This document describes Rinci, a set of extensible, language-neutral metadata specifications for your code (functions/methods, variables, packages, classes, and so on). Rinci allows various helper tools, from code generator to web middleware to documentation generator to other protocols, to act on your code, making your life easier as a programmer. Rinci also allows better interoperability between programming languages. Rinci is geared towards dynamic scripting languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, but is not limited to those languages.
The 1.1 series does not guarantee full backward compatibility between revisions, so caveat implementor. However, major incompatibility will bump the version to 1.2 or 2.0.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
Rinci is a set of specifications of metadata for your code entities. Each different type of code entity, like function/method, variable, namespace, etc, has its own metadata specification.
Metadata is a defhash (see DefHash). Each specification will specify what properties should be supported. So the Rinci::function specification will describe metadata for functions/methods, Rinci::package will describe metadata for namespace/package, and so on.
Rinci defines properties pertaining to documentation (like summary, description, examples, links), function argument and return value validation (args and result), dependencies (deps), standardized feature description (features), also a few conventions/protocols for doing stuffs like undo (others like callback/progress report will follow). Basically anything that can describe the code entity. The specification is extensible: you can define more properties, or more deps, or more features.
Since defhash can contain keys that are ignored (those that start with underscore, _), extra information can be put here.
By adding Rinci metadata to your code, you can write/use tools to do various things to your program. Rinci is designed with code generation and function wrapping in mind. At the time of this writing, in Perl there exists several tools (mostly modules under Perinci namespace) to do the following:
Wrap functions with a single generated function that can do the following: validate input (using information from the args property), validate return value (the result property), add execution time-limiting (timeout), add automatic retries (retry), interactive confirmation, logging, and more.
Perinci::Exporter, Exporter::Rinci
More convenient replacements/wrappers for Exporter or Sub::Exporter if your functions are equipped with Rinci metadata. Automatically provide export tags (using information in the tags property). Automatically wrap functions using Perinci::Sub::Wrapper when exporting (Perinci::Exporter).
Perinci::To::* modules
Convert metadata to various other documents, for example Perinci::To::POD to generate documentation.
Perinci::CmdLine (several flavors: Perinci::CmdLine::Classic, Perinci::CmdLine::Lite, Perinci::CmdLine::Inline)
Riap command-line client. Call local/remote functions. Automatically convert command-line options/arguments to function arguments. Generate help/usage message (for --help). Check dependencies (e.g. you can specify that in order to run your functions, you need some executables/other functions to exist, an environment variable being set, and so on), perform bash shell completion (using Perinci::Sub::Complete).
A PSGI application (a set of PSGI middlewares, really) to serve metadata and function call requests over HTTP, according to the Riap::HTTP protocol.
An alternative for Perinci::Access::HTTP::Server for REST-style service.
Use remote packages and import their functions/variables transparently like you would use local Perl modules. The remote server can be any Riap-compliant service, even when implemented in other languages.
Since Rinci metadata are just normal data structure, they can be easily generated. The Perinci::Sub::Gen::* Perl modules can generate functions as well as their metadata, for example to access table data (like from a regular array or from a SQL database).
More tools will be written in the future.
Some features offered by Rinci (or Rinci tools) are undoubtedly already offered by your language or existing language libraries. For example, for documentation Perl already has POD and Python has docstrings. There are numerous libraries for argument validation in every language. Python has decorators that can be used to implement various features like argument validation and logging. Perl has subroutine attributes to stick additional metadata to your subroutines and variables. And so on.
The benefits that Rinci offer include richer metadata, language neutrality, extensibility, and manipulability.
Richer metadata. Rinci strives to provide enough metadata for tools to do various useful things. For example, the description and summary properties support translations. Argument specification is pretty rich, with a quite powerful and flexible schema language.
Language neutrality. You can share metadata between languages, including documentation and rules for argument validation. Perl 6 allows very powerful argument validation, for example, but it is language-specific. With Rinci you can easily share validation rules and generate validators in Perl and JavaScript (and other target languages).
Manipulability. Being a normal data structure, your Rinci metadata is easier to manipulate (clone, merge, modify, export, what have you) as well as access (from your language and others). Perl's POD documentation is not accessible from the language (but Perl 6's Pod and Python docstrings are, and there are certainly tools to parse POD). On the other hand, Python docstrings are attached in the same file with the function, while with Rinci you can choose to separate the metadata into another file more easily.
Other things to consider. If you stack multiple decorators in Python, for example, it usually results in wrapping your Python function multiple times, which can add overhead. A single wrapper like Perinci::Sub::Wrapper, on the other hand, uses a single level of wrapping to minimize subroutine call overhead.
Working together. There is no reason why Rinci metadata has to compete against existing features from language/libraries. A code generator for Rinci metadata can generate code that utilize those features. For example, the timeout property can be implemented in Python using decorator, if you want. Rinci basically just provides a way for you to express desired properties/constraints/behaviours, separate from the implementation. A tool is free to implement those properties using whatever technique is appropriate.
Note: Examples are usually written in Perl, but this does not mean they only apply to a particular language.
Code entities, or just entities for short, are elements in your code that can be given metadata. Currently supported entities are function/method, namespace/package, and variable. Other entities planned to be supported: class, object, library, application.
This section describes specification common to all kinds of Rinci metadata.
Where to put the metadata. The specification does not specify where to put metadata in: it might be put alongside the code, separated in another source code, encoded in YAML/JSON, put in database, or whatever. It is up to the tools/implementations to provide the mechanism. If you use Perinci in Perl, there is a great deal of flexibility, you basically can do all of the above, even split the metadata in several files. See its documentation for more details.
Common properties. Below are properties common to all metadata:
From DefHash. Declare specification version. This property is required. It should have the value of 1.1. If v is not specified, it is assumed to be 1.0 and metadata is assumed to be the old, Sub::Spec 1.0.x metadata.
v => 1.1
Specify entity version (like package or function version). This is version as in software implementation version, not to be confused with v which is the metadata specification version (1.1).
entity_v => 0.24
In Perl, modules usually put version numbers in package variable called $VERSION. If not set, tools like Perinci::Access::Perl automatically fills this property from that variable, to relieve authors from manually setting this property value.
From DefHash. Specify default language used in the text properties like summary and description. Default is 'en_US'.
To specify translation texts in other languages, you can use PROPERTY.alt.lang.CODE, e.g.:
summary => "Perform the foo ritual",
"summary.alt.lang.id_ID" => "Laksanakan ritual foo",
From DefHash. The name of the entity. Useful when aliasing entity (and reusing the metadata) and wanting to find out the canonical/original entity.
name => 'foo'
name => '$var' # only in languages where variables have prefix
From DefHash. A one-line summary. It should be plain text without any markup. Please limit to around 72 characters.
# in variable metadata for $Answer
summary => 'The answer to the question: what is the meaning of life'
# in function metadata foo
summary => 'Perform the foo ritual',
For variable metadata, it should describe what the variable contain. You do not need to say "Contains ..." or "A variable that ..." since that is redundant; just say directly the content of the variable (noun). You also do not need to say what kinds of values the variable should contain, like "An integer, answer to the ..." or "..., should be between 1..100" since that should go to the schema property.
For function metadata, it should describe what the function does. Suggestion: use active, bare infinitive verb like in the example (not "Performs ..."). Avoid preamble like "This function ..." or "Function to ..." since that is redundant. Also avoid describing the arguments and its values like "..., accepts a single integer argument" as that should go to the args property.
To specify translations in other language, use the summary.alt.lang.CODE. Or change the default_lang property. Examples:
# default language is 'en_US'
summary => 'Perform the foo ritual',
"summary.alt.lang.id_ID" => 'Laksanakan ritual foo',
# change default language to id_ID, so all summaries are in Indonesian, except
# when explicitly set otherwise
default_lang => 'id_ID',
summary => 'Laksanakan ritual foo',
"summary.alt.lang.en_US" => 'Perform the foo ritual',
From DefHash. A list of tags, useful for categorization. Can also be used by tools, e.g. Perinci::Exporter in Perl uses the tags property of the function metadata as export tags.
Tag can be a simple string or a tag metadata hash.
# tag a function as beta
tags => ['beta']
# the second tag is a detailed metadata
tags => ['beta',
name => 'category:filtering',
summary => 'Filtering',
"summary.alt.lang.id_ID" => 'Penyaringan',
From DefHash. A longer description text. The text should be in marked up in format specified by text_markup and is suggested to be formatted to 78 columns.
To avoid redundancy, you should mentioning things that are already expressed as properties, for example: return value of function (specify it in result property instead), arguments that the function accepts (args), examples (examples), function's features (features) and dependencies/requirements (deps).
For function, description should probably contain a more detailed description of what the function does (steps, algorithm used, effects and other things of note).
name => 'foo',
summary => 'Perform the foo ritual',
description => <<EOT,
Foo ritual can be performed by humans or machines. This program will perform a
machine-based ritual using [the best available
Note that you still have to perform foo ritual manually from time to time, just
to be safe.
Like in summary, to specify translations in other language, use the description.alt.lang.CODE property.
List to related entities or resources. Can be used to generate a SEE ALSO and/or LINKS sections in documentation. Each link is a defhash with the following keys:
url => STR (required)
URI is used as a common syntax to refer to resources. If URI scheme is not specified, tools can assume that it is a riap URI (see Riap).
caption => STR
From DefHash. A short plaintext title for the link.
description => STR
From DefHash. A longer marked up text description for the link. Suggested to be formatted to 76 columns.
tags => ARRAY OF (STR OR HASH)
From DefHash. Can be used to categorize or select links. For generating SEE ALSO sections, use the tag 'see'.
# links in the Bar::foo function metadata
links => [
url => "http://example.org/foo-with-bar-algo.html",
caption => "Article describing foo using Bar algorithm",
url => "../Bar2/",
caption => "Another implementation of the Bar algorithm",
tags => ['see'],
From DefHash. This property is used to store extended (application-specific) attributes, much like the X- prefix in HTTP or email headers. This property can be used as an alternative to using underscore prefix (e.g. _foo). Some processing tools strip properties/attributes that begin with underscores, so to pass extended metadata around, it might be more convenient to use the x property.
It is recommended that you put an application prefix.
"x.myapp.foo" => "some value",
Another example:
"x.dux.strip_newlines" => 0,
Each entity-specific specification is described on a separate subdocument. Currently these specifications are defined:
Rinci::function - Metadata for functions/methods
Rinci::package - Metadata for namespaces/packages
Rinci::variable - Metadata for variables
Rinci::result - Function/method result metadata
These specifications are planned or considered, but not yet defined:
Rinci::class - Metadata for classes
Rinci::object - Metadata for objects
Rinci::application - Metadata for applications
Rinci::library - Metadata for libraries
Rinci::distribution - Metadata for software distribution
Rinci::language - Metadata for programming languages
Rinci::author - Metadata for software authors
Rinci::project - Metadata for software projects
Rinci::repository - Metadata for code repository (like git, svn)
Rinci is taken from Indonesian word perincian or rincian, meaning: specification, detail.
Sah is a flexible and extensible schema language, while still not being language-specific, making it easy for code generator tools to generate validator code in various target languages (Perl, Ruby, etc).

Below is the general history of the project and major changes to the specifications. For more detailed changes between releases, see the Changes file in the distribution.
To clearly separate specification from implementation, rename specification from Sub::Spec to Rinci (the namespace Perinci is now used for the Perl implementation). Support code entities other than functions/methods. Bump specification version from 1.0 to 1.1 due to several incompatibilities like changed args and result properties, terminologies, defaults. Versioning property (v) now required.
First release version of Sub::Spec.
Series of Sub::Spec drafts.
I started using some metadata for API functions, calling them spec and putting them in %spec instead of in POD, so I can list and grab all the summaries easily as a single dump for API catalog (instead of having to parse POD from my source code files). Later on I kept adding more and more stuffs to this, from argument specification, requirements, and so on.

An energy-efficient house that can send alerts if its residents are ill has been developed by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, U.K.
InterHome which is the first home in the U.K., which can learn from its residents and take decisive action and text if it is being burgled or the door has been left unlocked can now also monitor the health of its occupants.
"We developed it further with elderly people in mind so that the house can send alerts if the person has a fall or a stroke," said Johann Siau, senior lecturer at the University's School of Engineering and Technology. The researchers have developed a prototype device which can be strapped to a person's wrist and is equipped with various sensors which take readings of body temperature and pulse.
"This opens up a platform for us to add new types of technologies around assisted living," Siau said.
InterHome, incorporates modular custom design units and draws on standard home automation systems which have been adapted so that the house learns and adapts to its users' lifestyles. The prototype of the home, which has been developed in a doll's house, integrates embedded devices with home automation controllers, so that it provides convenience and security to the home owner and also enables them to reduce energy.
According to Direct.gov, making your home as energy efficient as possible will reduce carbon emissions and could save you over £300 a year on your fuel bills and contribute to reducing greenhouse and carbon emissions. InterHome incorporates an intuitive touch screen user control panel that also allows the house to be monitored and controlled using Web browsers, smart phones and any SMS-capable mobile phone.
"InterHome improves on its competitors by being modular, adaptable and able to 'learn' our routines," Siau said. "The technology enables the system to learn rapidly when we need the lights on or whether we are at home or at work and how the house needs to be at certain times of the day. If we forget to lock the front door or turn off the lights, it can text us and our response can reprogram the system."
Through this approach, InterHome can eradicate wasted energy within U.K. homes and make a difference to CO2 emission statistics when installed in enough houses. The prototype is now being trialled by industry and the team led by Siau is working with the Building Research Establishment where they are installing the InterHome system into two of their show homes on their innovation park.
This free educational webinar will provide a detailed process for climate-driven "pre-response" in a variety of key areas including: Supply Chain Disruptions, Employee Safety and Productivity, Regulatory and Compliance Risks …and many more areas.

FLOW-3D simulates regular linear and nonlinear propagating surface waves as well as irregular waves. A linear wave has a sinusoidal surface profile with small amplitude and steepness, while a nonlinear wave has larger amplitude (finite-amplitude), sharper crests and flatter troughs than the linear wave. Nonlinear waves can be categorized into Stokes, cnoidal, and solitary waves, according to the wave characters and the mathematical methods used to obtain their solutions.
A Stokes wave is a periodic wave in deep and transitional water (see Figures 1 and 2). A cnoidal wave is a long periodic wave in shallow and transitional water and has even sharper crests and flatter troughs than the Stokes wave. A solitary wave is a non-periodic wave existing in shallow and transitional water. It possesses a single crest and no trough and is completely above the undisturbed water level. Mathematically, a solitary wave is a limiting case of the cnoidal wave when the wavelength reaches infinity. The classifications of deep water, transitional water and shallow water for waves can be found in Table 1.
Although the linear wave theory (Airy, 1845) has been used in many applications, the nonlinear wave theories often provide significant improvement in accuracy over the linear wave theory when the wave amplitude is not small. In FLOW-3D, three nonlinear wave theories are used for nonlinear wave generation: the fifth-order Stokes wave theory (Fenton, 1985), the Fourier series method for Stokes and cnoidal waves (Fenton, 1999), and McCowan's theory for solitary waves (1891; Munk, 1949). Among them, Fenton's Fourier series method is valid for all kinds of periodic propagating waves in deep water, transitional water and shallow water, including linear, Stokes and cnoidal waves. Moreover, this method possesses higher order accuracy than other wave theories (USACE, 2008). It is thus the recommended method to generate any type of linear and nonlinear periodic waves at all water depths. For solitary waves, McCowan's theory used in FLOW-3D has higher order accuracy than the other widely-used theory developed by Boussinesq (1871).
|d /$latex \lambda $
|Deep water
|1/2 to ∞
|Transitional water
|1/20 to 1/2
|Shallow water
|0 to 1/20
The irregular wave represents the natural sea state where wave properties are not constant. In FLOW-3D, the irregular wave is represented by a superposition of many linear component waves with different amplitudes and frequencies and random phase shifts. The Pierson-Moskowitz (P-M) (Pierson and Moskowitz, 1964) and the JONSWAP wave energy spectra (Hasselmann, et al., 1973) are implemented in FLOW-3D to generate the component waves. Other wave energy spectra can be used by importing a user-defined data file.
To save computation time, the wave can be defined not only at a mesh block boundary but also as an initial condition. The animations below show the examples for all the types of waves with or without wave initialization.
Successful applications of FLOW-3D have been made for linear and nonlinear water wave simulations. Please refer to the examples in Bhinder et al. (2009), Chen (2012), Hsu et al. (2012), Thanyamanta et al. (2011), and Yilmaz et al. (2011) for more details.

Lavender May
Ceci New York, New York, New York, 2009
The client approached Ceci New York with the challenge to create a one-of-a-kind chic and sophisticated identity. The Lavender May logo or mark connects its audience to the service—a person and an experience. People, especially targeted future customers, naturally want to associate themselves with it.
The lavender flower has gathered significant symbolic meaning through its long history. "Lavender" comes from the Latin lavandarius, from lavare, "to wash." Lavender, both the oil and scent, has long been known for its soothing and cleansing properties. For many, the fresh scent evokes images of English gardens or Provence, long known for its lavender fields. The color of the flower is a soft and romantic version of the color purple, associated with royalty since the time of the Phoenicians.
Lavender May's audience is composed of busy working professionals with distinct appreciation for luxury goods, one-of-a-kind details and creativity. Their style is thoughtfully and carefully expressed in their clothing and homes, creating a cohesive and sophisticated statement. The typical customer, whether modern or traditional, is well traveled, cultured and open-minded, with a consciousness of bespoke quality.
This piece reaches its intended audience by word of mouth and event broadcasting. Lavender May will be most successful based on others' references when attending an event by the company. The identity reflects the same qualities as the business: chic and flawless execution, meticulous attention to detail, creative design (through aesthetics and general vision) and individuality.
Juror Notes
Great logo and design execution.
A restrained, elegant identity, carefully executed across the board. I particularly like the R and the mailing label.

I recently wrote a short article for the Anthropology News titled: A Case against Giving Informants Cameras and Coming Back Weeks Later (. Vol. 49, No. 2: 20). Here is a snippet to whet your appetite:
A Case Against Giving Informants Cameras and Coming Back Weeks Later
By Karen Nakamura (Yale U)
Giving informants cameras and asking them to take photographs of their environment is a growing trend in anthropology. The resulting photos are later displayed, analyzed or exhibited as examples of a particularly internal, private or emic view of the world. Students love this technique, which is inexpensive and initially appears to be risk-free, with all of the hallmarks of reflexive anthropology. If not done carefully, however, it can be problematic both ethically and methodologically.
For those who choose to do photoethnographic work that involves providing informants with cameras or video equipment, it is essential to first critically examine the ethical and methodological implications of a project. The anthropologist must consider both the potential harms and benefits that a project might pose for an informant. Possible ways to address these concerns include giving informants high quality photographic equipment (to keep) as well as technical training, so that in the future they can use their new tools and skills for their own purposes, to address their own needs. Informants working for an anthropologists (i.e. completing assigned tasks) should be paid as field assistants. Prior to using an image an anthropologist should receive permission to do so from both the photographer and any people that appear in the photograph. Finally, photography should supplement, not replace, long-term fieldwork–it is time and labor intensive, but ultimately necessary for interpreting and contextualizing visual images from the field.

Whenever news breaks of tragedies like the Aurora massacre, my heart goes out to the victims, their families, and another group – the medical response team. In the emergency department, we face the results of violence day in and day out. Run of the mill gunshot wounds are bad enough, but dealing with dozens of people gunned down senselessly at once is beyond the limits of my imagination. As the caretakers in these situations, we have to reach deep into our physical and mental reserves to maintain our sense of control. We get through it and never get over it.
In medical training, physicians are taught to screen for potential violence. It is amazing how many people will tell you if they are homicidal or suicidal – you just have to ask. As an extension, we ask about access to guns. If a suicidal or homicidal person has access to guns, they are more likely to use that implement to initiate their violent act. This is why we are trained to ask that question.
One of the best methods to defuse potential violence is heartfelt conversation. By openly questioning each other in a non-judgmental manner, we can often discover a person's pain, motives, and ability to act. Unfortunately, the gun rights lobby, mostly funded by the National Rifle Association, has time and time again inserted their hand in attempting to shut down that conversation.
In the Affordable Care Act, the gun lobby's section is in Title X, starting on page 2,037, line 23. "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights" contains five provisions mostly dedicated to shutting down conversation about guns in medicine. What do these sections contain?
Wellness and prevention programs may not require the disclosure or collection of information relating to the presence or storage of a lawfully possessed firearm or the use of a firearm. At least the law didn't say we couldn't ask about it, we just have to do it clandestinely.
The next provision states we can't collect data related to owning or using firearms. So we can't write it down? Sounds like an effective way to stifle research related to gun violence so we can no longer prove that easier access to guns increases the risk of mass violence.
Provision three states we can't use or maintain records of individual ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. I'm fine with that not being allowed in medicine, but that information should be tracked somewhere. A person amassing an arsenal should raise an eyebrow.
Provision four limits the ability to determine rates or eligibility for health insurance based on gun ownership. Now why is that even in there? Title I of the ACA states that insurance will be guaranteed issue so no one can be turned down. Even if they own enough guns to hunt every squirrel in the United States, they will qualify for health insurance. Just so the gun owners have the correct information, rates are based on only four factors – age, location, number of family members, and smoking status. Wait – guns smoke, so maybe they thought that was meant for gun owners.
The final provision related to gun owners is that individuals do not have to disclose they own a gun. We know you can't make people tell the truth, but fortunately most people in the throes of mental anguish and considering violence will tell the truth when asked.
In Florida last year, the legislature and governor passed a law backed by the National Rifle Association that would penalize physicians if they asked a patient about gun access and ownership except in the case of emergencies. Is that before or after the emergency happens? Fortunately, the law was recently ruled unconstitutional by a sane judge appointed by President Bush.
I'm certain the NRA doesn't want guns to be used for killing people and it is fine that they want to protect gun owner's rights. But as pointed out in the Twitterverse, I doubt our founding fathers considered assault weapons as the alternative to their quaint muzzle loaded muskets.
It seems the NRA's best interest would be served by promoting responsible gun ownership, including doctors having conversations with patients regarding guns in the home and unfettered research on guns and violence. By promoting healthy conversation and research instead of giving politicians millions to stifle it, they could go a long way toward appeasing the public who want responsible gun ownership.

OTTAWA – As the penny is set to begin retirement next month, there are already calls to put the nickel out to pasture as well.
The Royal Canadian Mint starts collecting one-cent coins on Feb. 4 for melting and recycling of the metal content, with some six billion pennies expected to be surrendered by Canadians over the next six years.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the surprise demise in last year's budget, saying the penny had become a nuisance.
And a former Bank of Canada economist says the nickel is also becoming obsolete, and should be next in line for retirement.
"We see less and less people now … digging in their wallets for nickels," Jean-Pierre Aubry said in an interview.
A retired 30-year veteran of the Bank of Canada, Aubry has been a leading proponent of withdrawing the one-cent piece from circulation.
In papers and presentations for Desjardins Group over the last few years, Aubry used economic models to show that the penny should actually have been killed in about 1982.
That was a tipping point, as more Canadians hoarded the coins and the Royal Canadian Mint was pressed to churn out billions more to keep retailers stocked, costing the government up to $11 million annually.
The last pennies minted on May 4 in Winnipeg were costing about 1.6 cents each to manufacture. Aubry also estimates retailers, banks and consumers have absorbed about $140 million in handling costs each year, creating an unnecessary drag on the economy.
Even though Finance Canada faces a one-time net cost of $38 million to retire the penny, the long-term savings to government and to the economy will be substantial.
Aubry argues the nickel will soon hit the same tipping point the penny did in 1982, as Canadians hoard them in greater numbers, forcing the mint to distribute up to 350 million each year to meet retail demand.
"It's a sign that the coin is not well used," he said.
The Royal Canadian Mint has teamed in recent years with Coinstar Inc. to place automated coin-sorting and counting kiosks in grocery stores and other retail outlets to prod Canadians into circulating coins now stuck in jars and drawers. Most of these recycled coins are pennies, but many are nickels.
A spokesman for vending-machine operators told a Senate committee in 2010 that Canada should just dump the little-used nickel.
"As far as our industry is concerned, eliminating the penny is a good step and a smart business decision," said Kim Lockie, then-president of the Canadian Automatic Merchandising Association.
"We suggest the nickel go at the same time. If there is a little bit of a problem, we get it all over with at once."
A spokesman for Finance Canada, David Barnabe, said Wednesday the government has no plans to eliminate the five-cent coin.
New Zealand successfully eliminated its five-cent piece in 2006, after dumping its one- and two-cent coins. And since at least 2009, the Australian government has been considering whether to follow suit by killing its own five-cent coin, millions of which have actually been manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint for a profit.
Aubrey, now with the Quebec-based Cirano inter-university research centre, says eliminating Canada's nickel could be part of a larger strategy to retool the currency.
That would include creating a new coin to replace the five-dollar bill; adding a 20-cent coin; eliminating the quarter; perhaps creating a $200 bill; and reducing all coin sizes significantly to ease the burden on pockets.
But first, he says, Canadians must be convinced that the disappearance of the penny will have no effect on inflation, as repeatedly demonstrated in other countries that have ditched their lowest-value coinage.
The Finance Department has offered guidelines for rounding off cash prices to the nearest nickel, but will neither set rules nor police retailers. Electronic payments, such as those on credit cards, will not be rounded.
The penny remains legal tender indefinitely, though will gradually disappear from cash-register tills over the next few years. About 35 billion have been minted since 1908.
Some businesses may decline to accept pennies next month, as there is no federal requirement they do so. Some financial institutions may also require that redeemed coins be rolled.
Canada will eventually become a cashless society, Aubry said, but not any time soon.
"Physical money will be around for a long time … another 50 years, probably," he said. "Cash is anonymous, and that's a property a lot of people do like."
Later this year, the Bank of Canada will introduce a new $5 bill as part of a series of polymer bank notes that are harder to counterfeit and last longer.

Bulgaria: Black Sea Coast
99 Coastal Destinations Rated: Facing Trouble
Score: 49
Resort developers are snatching up large swaths of Bulgaria's coastline, increasingly regarded by price-conscious Europeans as an affordable alternative to Spain and Greece. They have left in their wake a built landscape that "does not adequately reflect the area's cultural resources and heritage." Nevertheless, travelers who venture far enough off the beaten path find pockets of "untouched natural areas." Nesebur's well-preserved Old Town is worth a visit.
Here is a representative sampling of additional anonymous comments from the panelists. They are not necessarily the views of the National Geographic Society:
"A mixture of highly developed tourist resorts and untouched natural areas. The coastline outside the three main resort zones retains a remote atmosphere, and significant attempts are being made to protect the region's cultural and architectural heritage in places like the Old Town of Nesebur and the Aladja Monastery near Varna."
"Fly-by-night real estate developers ravaged Bulgaria's coast. The aesthetic of golf courses and cookie cutter condos is sad. The location is beautiful, but I am not hopeful that it will develop sustainably."
"Water quality appears adequate, but there is some heavy industry at places along the shore. Much of the coast is quite attractive, especially in the south, but high-rise development is becoming intense."

When a DNS outage isn't an outrage
Proper IT support and a snappy postmortem make all the difference
Sysadmin blog A little over a decade ago I registered my very first personal domain name. This domain was not registered for a client or an employer. This was a domain name all my own.
When I picked my DNS provider I picked one who was affiliated with the local technology magazine, and I picked them because they were Canadian. It was the beginning of the best business relationship I have had with any cloud service provider.
The provider in question is EasyDNS. At the time, they were Canada Computes Domains. They remain today the only cloudy provider of anything that I can recommend unreservedly without feeling the need to list caveats or addenda. They do this DNS thing and they do it well.
In all the time I've had my domains with them, I have experienced only three memorable outages. If Amazon, Google or Microsoft could pull that off, I'd be out of a job. As impressive as that may sound on paper, it is not the lack of outages that impresses me. I have had client domains on over a dozen DNS providers over the years, and most of them can match this uptime. What I find unique about EasyDNS is how it handled these outages.
The bit that impresses me about EasyDNS is very simple; it bothers to keep in touch with the customer. It responds to me. Not the guy who writes for El Reg, nor as a sysadmin with hundreds of domains I can threaten to pull if I wanted to make a fuss. The company actually responds to the 140 characters of text asking irritating questions on Twitter.
This is glaring omission in the service provisioning you get from any of technology's titans of cloud computing. The last time my Google Mail went on the blink, there was quite a bit of lag between the outage and its appearance on the status page. When information does show, you get cute little icon, and very little feedback on what went wrong, why, or what the ETA is for repair.
Google has started posting postmortems after outages, but these can take over a week to be posted, and their use is still inconsistent. Microsoft and Amazon have stepped up their efforts in this area, with postmortems eventually showing up.
These are the biggest names in tech. You would expect them to provide customer engagement during an outage that was a least as good as a small company like EasyDNS could provide. The cost of such services is a rounding error to them.
But there are lots of places where even these companies fall down. I can call EasyDNS and get a real, live human being. That person will do their best to solve my problems and push me up the pyramid of screaming if they can't. Emails to their support address hit a ticket system which is very rapidly followed up by a real live person looking into my problem. Microsoft offers this, it is their shtick as a cloud provider. Amazon offers such support as an expensive premium option, and Google has only very recently decided this might be worth doing. Here are the biggest names in cloud computing struggling to reach a level of customer engagement that this tiny little company has already demonstrated.
To contrast, EasyDNS recently suffered an outage. Throughout it all, it was posting information on its blog. Its Twitter account was being kept up to date with the latest information. The company then posted a truly spot-on postmortem of the incident – including policy changes that would mitigate the possibility of the outage recurring. This information was not released to select media partners or run internally through various NDAed documents and released only in highly redacted form. This was posted on the internet for all their customers to see in real time.
Today, there are cloud providers of all sizes providing virtually any IT service imaginable. EasyDNS certainly has many competitors in its weight class. But how to pick your provider amidst such competition? Service Level Agreements are rarely worth the paper they aren't printed on.
Anyone can get DDoSed and suffer an outage. Nobody in this business is immune. How they handle those outages - and the support they offer - is what separates a company I can bet my business on from one I never will.
What are your experiences with cloudy providers? Who stands above the rest? Let us know in the comments section below. ®

More roasted cauliflower with parmesan chicken paillards...
We've been using a few of the tips we have learned along the way to make this basic roasted vegetable just a bit better. When you slice up the large head of cauliflower, rather than trying to keep the florets intact, slice them so they have a larger flat surface area. This allows the florets to have better contact with the pan, allowing it to caramelize and deepen its flavor. We've also quite taken to preheating the baking pan first - I wouldn't say this is absolutely required, but there is some audible gratification when you hear the sizzle as the snow-white veggie slides onto the hot surface. I'm content with dressing the pieces with oil and a shower of salt and fresh ground black pepper - however, this time they are gussied up with piquant toasted sesame oil and sesame seeds for a richer flavor. Golden, tender, yet crisp, this versatile roasted veggie is welcome on our plates anytime!
Dinner tonight, Parmesan Chicken Paillards with Cherry Tomato Sauce, took a bit of time to complete, but the effort was rewarded. Chicken breasts (ours were about 6 ounces each) are first pounded flat to help them cook a little more evenly. This can get kind of messy, so to ease clean up, slide the breasts between a couple sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. I've used both with good results. Once the chicken has been seasoned, only one side is dredged in a mixture of flour and fresh grated Parmesan cheese to keep this dish on the lighter side. Having only one side crusted might sound a little skimpy, but the strong, sharp nature of the Parmesan allows this to work well.
Place the breasts cheese side down when you add them to the skillet - since there isn't a ton of oil used, this gives the crust a chance to mingle with enough hot oil to get golden and crisp. Rather than dirtying another pan, the chunky sauce is prepared in the same skillet after the chicken has cooked. As soon as chopped onions soften for the sauce, they are hit with chicken broth and a shot of syrupy balsamic vinegar. When most of the liquid had concentrated down, quartered juicy cherry tomatoes are tossed in with a pinch of dried oregano. The sauce is finished when the tomatoes start to break down, yet still have some texture to them. I love the combination of tangy balsamic vinegar and tomatoes - however, if for some reason you don't groove on balsamic, sherry vinegar would also work well here.

Arthur Ashe, The Legendary Wimbledon Player was dying of AIDS which he got due to Infected Blood he received during a Heart Surgery in 1983!
He received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease??"
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
50 Million children started playing Tennis,
5 Million learnt to play Tennis,
500 000 learnt Professional Tennis,
50 Thousand came to Circuit,
5 Thousand reached Grandslam,
50 reached Wimbledon,
4 reached the Semifinals,
2 reached the Finals and
when I was holding the cup in my hand,
I never asked God
"Why Me?"
So now that I'm in pain how can I ask God
"Why Me?"
Happiness keeps you Sweet!!
Trials keeps you Strong!!
Sorrows keeps you Human!!
Failure keeps you Humble!!
Success keeps you Glowing!!
But only,
Faith keeps you Going.
Sometimes you are
unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life..
A child on a farm sees
a plane fly overhead &
dreams of flying.
But, A pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse & dreams of returning home.
That's life!!
Enjoy yours…
If wealth is the secret to
happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets.
But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security,
then VIPs should walk
But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring
ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages.
Live simply.
Walk humbly.
and love genuinely..!

Sometimes you need a quick way to get something off your iPhone or iPad, whether it be a screenshot, a Web page, or even an e-mail message. Sure, if you've got an AirPrint-capable printer you could print it, but then you've got an extra piece of paper to deal with. Fortunately, this is where Ecamm Network's Printopia comes to the rescue and the new version 2.0 adds a handful of features to make this utility even more powerful.
Printopia fills the gaps left by Apple in the AirPrint functionality introduced in iOS 4.2. The preference pane obviates the need for specific models of printers, instead letting you share any printer on your Mac with your iOS devices, or letting you send a file directly to your Mac, no printer needed.
With version 2.0, Printopia significantly expands its capabilities. You can now print to specific applications on your Mac, including browsers like Safari and Google Chrome, or image editors like Acorn. You can also create an unlimited number of "virtual printers"—folders on your Mac where you can choose to send files (for example, you could have one for travel confirmations, one for financial statements, and so on). Plus, you can even add a workflow for the file you're sending, having it automatically uploaded to a service like Cloud, saved to your Web Receipts folder, added to iTunes, or more.
In the latest update, Ecamm also takes care of one shortcoming in the first verison of Printopia by adding the ability to password protect any of your printers, real or virtual. Speaking as someone who once returned to his hotel room to find that his MacBook now contained dozens of pictures that some industrious fellow had clearly snapped with his iPhone and then "printed" to my virtual printer, it's a welcome addition.
Printopia 2.0 is a free update for existing owners; a new license will cost you $20. It requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later and a mobile device running iOS 4.2 or later. A free, full featured 7-day demo is also available.

Google Tests Multiple Accounts Sign in
If you use a service that doesn't support multiple sign-in, it will default to the first account that you signed in using your browser. Google suggests to use a different browser, but you can also use Chrome's incognito mode to sign in to an additional Google account.
Another limitation is that Gmail's offline mode is disabled if you turn on multiple sign-in.
Multiple sign-in will let you open Gmail in multiple tabs, log in using different accounts and read the messages from all your accounts without opening another browser. Right now, you have to log out before logging in to a different account.

Is this the same as Universal Login for Google Apps Standard Edition/Business?ReplyDelete
I think that feature is also on old? Using an Google Apps Standard Edition/Business account for adwords, Reader, Youtube, Blogger, etc? or am I confusing things?
Good test. Good improvement.ReplyDelete
That's what I wait.
Hm. I'm not sure whether this would be better or worse than passing information to the primary account through the usual channels. (Forwarding in Gmail, sharing in Docs/Cal, exporting OPML in Reader.) I've spent a lot of time consolidating all my stuff into one Google account, and I don't regret that. But I also have to admit that, if this feature had been available several months ago, it's possible none of that would have happened.ReplyDelete

I doubt very many people would WANT join their accounts together. The whole point of having more than one account is to keep stuff separate. I don't want the accounts cross-polluting each other - I just want to be able to sign in to my 'work' account for google analytics, but my 'personal' account for buying things in Google Checkout or looking at my iGoogle page. Currently I have to keep signing in and out all the time which is *really* annoying. Glad they're fixing this.

We can also login to multiple Gmail accounts using new session feature in IE8
@NickG: Fair enough. I use my secondary accounts almost exclusively for email: I have a professional address with my name on it, a spam address for registering on questionable site, and a mandatory college address. Given that, it's a tremendous help to have a consolidated inbox.ReplyDelete
I don't think I'd have a problem using the same primary account for both personal (Checkout) and professional (Analytics) tasks. I don't really draw a distinction between the two, and security-wise, I'm still fairly trusting of Google. But I know some people really prefer compartmentalization, so to each his own.
I've been signing into different Google accounts (personal and domain) in different browser tabs for years, in both Firefox and Chrome. It's only in the last couple of weeks that I've started to have problems.ReplyDelete
It says, "Multiple sign-in will let you open Gmail in multiple tabs, log in using different accounts and read the messages from all your accounts without opening another browser. Right now, you have to log out before logging in to a different account."ReplyDelete
Currently, if I login with my account on one Chrome, Firefox, or IE tab and then open another tab, it retains my credentials. So I can open iGoogle home page in one tab and then if I open a new tab and navigate to Gmail page it will use the same account.
What will happen if I signed in for more than one account on a first Chrome tab and then open a second tab and navigate to Gmail? Which Gmail account will a second tab use?

Although I have multiple accounts just for the purpose of keeping my work and personal items separate, not being able to log into multiple accounts in Google Talk (not on the list of multiples in this article) has forced me to add work contacts to my personal contacts list so that I can interact with them via Google Talk as my personal account is the one linked to GT.

So, I switched to the beta of Googla apps accounts working more like a Google account, and now I can't sync my browser with my google account because there's a conflict with both accounts. I also can't access reader without conflicts, and when I go to gmail to check buzz, well, it's not possible unless I sign out of my google apps account and unsync my chrome browser. I also have issues with sharing stuff in reader, because when I go to google.com/reader it redirects me to a 'new' reader account linked to my google apps account, so I have two now, and it wouldn't that much of a problem if I could access both on the same browser, but i cant. Please help anybody!! it's a nightmare. How I accessed my google services was like a well greased machine, but now that's all gone. Help!

this thread is funny. one guy says "gah, don't torture me with this info before i can lay my eager paws on it!"ReplyDelete
another guy says "i wouldn't want it, they shouldn't waste their time!"
i for one am very glad to hear it's coming. i hope it's a simple drop-down at the top of any page, where i can pick my profile, and then reload the current page as that profile.
the history of the tab should flip-flop between acounts, as i go back in time, so i can easily, for example, copy something from one account to another.

I don't understand why so many people are using non-Firefox browsers to solve this problem. It's really easy to create multiple Firefox profiles, and run them simultaneously using the -no-remote argument. That way you can stay almost permanently logged into each account. To identify the different profiles at a glance use Titlebar Tweaks. To sync your bookmarks across profiles, use Xmarks.ReplyDelete
