Rhubarb Tart with Orange Glaze
yield: Makes 8 servings
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 pound rhubarb stalks, thinly sliced diagonally (1/8 inch)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17 1/4-ounces package), thawed
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
Stir together orange juice, lime juice, and sugar in a bowl. Add rhubarb and
let stand, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut pastry in half lengthwise, then roll out each piece into an
11-by 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling
pin. Arrange pastry rectangles side by side on an ungreased large baking
Make a 1/2-inch border around each pastry rectangle by lightly scoring a
line parallel to each edge (do not cut all the way through). Prick pastry
inside border all over with a fork.
Strain rhubarb mixture through a sieve set over a bowl, reserving liquid.
Top 1 pastry rectangle (within border) with half of rhubarb, overlapping
slices slightly. Repeat with remaining pastry and rhubarb.
Bake until pastry is puffed and golden (underside of pastry should also be
golden), about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil reserved rhubarb liquid in a small saucepan, skimming foam
if necessary, until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 15 to 18 minutes.
Transfer tarts to a rack. Brush rhubarb and pastry with glaze and sprinkle
with zest.

GASB to Hold Panel Discussions, Public Hearing and User Roundtable on Derivatives
Norwalk, CT, June 29, 2006—In line with its commitment to open and rigorous due process, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) will hold panel discussions, a public hearing, and a roundtable exclusively for external financial statement users, regarding the GASB's Preliminary Views (PV) document, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivatives. The panel discussions and roundtable are a part of the GASB's efforts to offer a variety of opportunities for its constituents to respond, in addition to more traditional methods such as comment letters and public testimony.
The panel discussions, hearing, and roundtable are scheduled for July 10, 2006, in New York City at The New School for Social Research, 65 Fifth Avenue (between 13th and 14th Streets), Second Floor, New York, NY. (This is a new location.) The panel discussions will begin at 9 a.m. EDT and are expected to conclude at noon. The public hearing will be conducted between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. The user roundtable will begin at 3 p.m. EDT and is expected to conclude at 5 p.m. EDT.
Each of the three panel discussions scheduled will feature persons with differing perspectives-a financial statement preparer, a user of financial statements, and a member of the derivatives community. The user roundtable will be an informal opportunity for financial statement users to provide feedback to the GASB on its proposals.
Individuals or organizations that want to make an oral presentation at the public hearing should provide to the GASB, by June 30, 2006, a written notification of that intent and a copy of written comments addressing the issues discussed in the PV. Individuals or organizations that want to participate in the user roundtable should contact the GASB by July 7, 2006, to express interest in participating. Due to security measures at The New School for entry into the building, all participants and observers are required to provide their name and affiliation to Ragan Vincent (email@example.com or 203-956-5372) by July 7, 2006
The PV proposes that the fair value of derivatives be reported in the financial statements as well as the change in that fair value. If, however, a derivative is effectively hedging (reducing) the risk it was created to address, then the annual changes in the derivative's fair value would be deferred and reported in a government's balance sheet. Governments also would disclose additional information about their derivatives in the notes to the financial statements.
Written comments on the PV should be sent to the GASB by July 28, 2006. The PV and a plain-language summary written especially for financial statement users and other non-accountants are available to download free from the GASB's website at www.gasb.org.
About the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
The GASB is the independent, not-for-profit organization formed in 1984 that establishes and improves financial accounting and reporting standards for state and local governments. Its seven members are drawn from the Board's diverse constituency, including preparers and auditors of government financial statements, users of those statements and members of the academic community. More information about the GASB can be found at its website www.gasb.org.

|Brian Krejcarek, Rajiv Kumar, Jane McGonigal
|Company Name(s):
|GreenGoose, ShapeUp, Social Chocolate
|Track / Format:
|Game IT Summit
Did you know free users get access to 30% of content from the last 2 years?
This session looks at three projects that are doing just that, leading the way for games to become the first-line of defense for individual and organizational health.
First up is an update on Jane McGonigal's SuperBetter, an online game with a mobile app designed to build SuperMario Health with four kinds of resilience: physical, mental, emotional and social. In this quickfire talk, you'll hear insights from a user-driven development process based on user-tests in both clinical and organizational settings -- from Ohio State University's hospital to Zappos Corporation.
Next up is ShapeUp, an exciting startup in the field of employee wellness that uses social networking, gaming and incentives to improve health. ShapeUp's social games promote physical activity, healthy eating, and weight loss among employees of large corporations and members of health plans. The company has expanded rapidly over 5 years, now covering 2 million people in 93 countries and working with clients like Aetna, HP, Cleveland Clinic, and Sprint who are using games to improve the health of their populations.
Wrapping up, Brian Krejcarek, founder of GreenGoose will be presenting on making all of life a game -- with little wireless sensors. Taking on everyday obstacles and things we do in more playful way is a new kind of game we're exploring for all ages. What if the hours spent sedentarily playing casual games online could be extended to the real things we do around us? Maybe it's just a smile and a little humor to change our daily habits toward a healthier and happy lifestyle.

Can the cooktop be retro-fitted on a Fireview stove? At the time we bought our stove you didn't offer the Hybrid model. It would be a nice feature to have on the Fireview.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for your question. This question is one that we've been asked many times since the introduction of the Progress cooktop.Delete
The Progress cooktop was specifically sized to fit and seal the surface of that stove and will not retro fit onto the Fireview.
If we have an opportunity to enhance the Fireview in the future a cooktop would definitely be up for consideration.

Known ABAP basis versions compatible with SAPlink include:
- 6.20
- 6.40(NetWeaver 2004)
- 7.0 (NetWeaver 2004s)
- 7.4
- Download the latest version of the SAPlink installer zip file from the SAPlink Project page which contains the following files:
- SAPlink_installer.txt - hopefully the last program you will ever have to copy and paste
- NUGG_SAPLINK.nugg - nugget containing necessary objects to install
- Extract contents of the SAPlink installer zip file
- Copy, paste, save, and activate the contents of the SAPlink_installer.txt file into a new program ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER onto the target SAP system
- Execute newly activated program ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER
- Use the extracted file NUGG_SAPLINK_INSTALL.nugg for the selection parameter "Installation Nugget"
WARNING: Using checkbox "Overwrite Originals", will overwrite any existing version of the SAPlink objects that were previously installed onto the system. Only use when reinstalling or installing a major release where a brand new install is required. Otherwise, follow the normal procedures for upgrade below.
- Execute
- To avoid an error that the implementation of an abstract class does not exist please run the installation a second time.
- Newly installed objects need to be activated manually, as all objects are installed as local and inactive
- Run transaction code SE38
- On initial screen of SE38, enter program name ZSAPLINK into selection parameter "Program" and hit activate command to show worklist
- On worklist screen, select "Whole Worklist" button on bottom to show all inactive objects in your worklist IMPORTANT NOTE: You must click the button labeled "Whole Worklist" to show and select all SAPlink related objects. There are multiple objects that are imported during the initial install and must all be activated for SAPlink to run properly
- Select all newly installed SAPlink related objects (ZSAPLINK) and activate
- Once activation for all objects is complete, SAPlink can be executed via program ZSAPLINK
- To see a list of installed plugins, use the F4 value help in the selection parameter field for "Object Type" from ZSAPLINK->Object Tab->Export Object->Object Type. Additional plugins can be downloaded from the SAPlink Plugins Project page and imported/installed using SAPlink. A plugin can be delivered via a Slinkee or a Nugget. Follow normal usage instructions below for the plugin file accordingly.
- If no plugin is available for the object type needed, we need your help. If you are a gracious soul and willing to give back to the community as a plugin developer, go to the SAPlink Plugins Project and let us know. Developer documentation is available on the SAPlink documentation page.
- Download the latest version of SAPlink or any of the SAPlink plugins from the SAPlink Project page
- Unless otherwise stated, you can use your existing version of SAPlink to upgrade itself or any of its plugins. Use the downloaded slinkee or nugget file according to the normal usage instructions below
- To execute SAPlink, use program ZSAPLINK. If you do not know which SAP transaction to use to run this program from, you don't need to be running SAPlink anyway. Please go find and bribe a developer to help you before proceeding.
- There are two types of files that can be imported or exported using SAPlink, either a Slinkee file (.slnk) or a Nugget file (.nugg). Both filetypes contain XML representation of the objects to be installed. They can be read using any XML reader, a text editor, or some compatible browsers (confirmed using Firefox).
A Slinkee file(.slnk) is used for single objects to be imported or exported. Slinkees are very quick and easy to use and recommended for single object collaboration. They can be imported and exported from the "Object" tab
- Select radio button "Import Object"
- Use the Slinkee file containing the object to be imported in the selection parameter "SAPlink File Name"
- WARNING: Using checkbox "Overwrite Originals", will overwrite any existing object with the same type and name on the target system. Be sure you know
- Execute
- Newly installed objects need to be activated manually, as all objects are installed as local and inactive
- Select radio button "Export Object"
- Enter the name of the object to be exported for the selection parameter "Object Name". Your object name should be somewhat unique. Remember that you will be sharing your objects with other developers and they probably already have a program called ZFoo, ZMyTest, or ZINeedARaise. An object that is not unique for that object type, will have to be overwritten in order to be installed on the target system
- In the "Object Type" selection parameter, use the F4 value help selection to
- See a list of installed plugins and their compatible object types
- Enter the R3TR type of the object to be exported for the selection parameter "Object Type"
- Execute and save file to local machine when prompted. To meet standards for object collaboration, it is recommended, yet not technically required to use the suggested default file name
SAPlink nuggets is the SAPlink packaging system that enables multiple objects to be imported/exported in one handy dandy file(.nugg). Nuggets can be imported, created, and displayed from the "Nugget" tab
- Select radio button "Import Nugget"
- Use the Nugget file containing the objects to be imported in the selection parameter "Nugget File Name"
- WARNING: Using checkbox "Overwrite Originals", will overwrite any existing object with the same type and name on the target system. Be sure you know
- Execute
- Newly installed objects need to be activated manually, as all objects are installed as local and inactive
- To see a list of all objects in a nugget, use the option to "Display Objects in Nugget"
Create New Nugget
- Select radio button "Create Empty Nugget"
- Type the Name of your Nugget in, this should be as unique as possible as upcoming releases may include versioning. ''If you do not give your Nugget a unique name you will have problems later. Avoid things like TEST, FOO, or BAR as these are probably not unique. By the same token don't name it 9283kasdfasdbfasdfksfdf9823498jfsaa as this is useless and makes no sense.''
- Press Execute, SAPlink will ask you where to put the Nugget file
- You should now see your empty Nugget file in the target directory
- You can now start adding Objects to your Nugget
Exporting/Adding Objects to Existing Nugget

ZSAPLINK terminates saying that The following syntax error occurred in program
"ZSAPLINK_CLASS================CP " in include
"ZSAPLINK_CLASS================CM002 " in
line 22:
"The type "SEOX_BOOLEAN" is unknown."
I've activated all the objects created by the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER. Can you please help me in this regard.
Unknown User (axd54p1)
I've been reviewing SAPLink for a project that I'm working. And I'm wondering what action SAPLink would take if I imported an object that had the same name as an existing object and I didn't want to overwrite the existing object. Would it create a new version perhaps or just force me to name the imported object something else?
Unknown User (1071ojw79)
it looks like there is some problem with some method while activating the class.
Hi Mandeep,
are you replying to Sai's message from 2008? I think it should already be solved as we now have 2011.
Best regards
Unknown User (101f9vkft)
Di I need special permission to edit this page? Some additional comments in the Upgrade section could be helpful. Upgrading from a Daily Build. Which classes to delete. Necessity of installer if those classes have been deleted. etc.
Former MemberHello! I can't find the link to downloading the program ZSAPLINK. Give a correct link, please.
- Download the latest version of the SAPlink installer zip file from the SAPlink Project page which contains the following files:
- SAPlink_installer.txt - hopefully the last program you will ever have to copy and paste
- NUGG_SAPLINK.nugg - nugget containing necessary objects to install
Dear Dmitry,
thank you for the heads-up that it's not so easy to find the most current SAPlink Version. I've updated now the startpage of http://saplink.org to give better directions. Please let me know if that helps.
Best regards
Dear Gregor,
I tried extracting file SAPlink_Daily.nugg.zip from /trunk/buid, but it said the file is invalid. Then, I tried using the file SAPlink_Daily.nugg in the saplink installer program, it gave no response, ZSAPLINK program is not created.
My system is 7.02 SP Level 14
Dear Idi,
have you used the Download button on the page? I've just tried it and it worked fine for me.
Best regards
Thank you Gregor. I didn't use the Download button earlier, that's why it didn't work. But now it's okay, installed.
Thanks again,

Hello, Gregor!
I installed ZSAPLINK from
then I found SAPLINK_WITH_DOCUMENTATION.ZIP
I installed, activated everything on both SAP systems. I want to unload ABAP objects from one SAP system. Then to load ABAP objects into other SAP system. How to make it by means of the program ZSAPLINK. Is there instruction?
Dear Dmitry,
the above documentation talks about Export and Import. I think that is exactly what you need. Don't use the SAPLINK_WITH_DOCUMENTATION.ZIP file which is from 2008. Please be shure to only export objects where you have the copyright.
Best regards
Former Member
Thanks, Gregor!
I installed SAPlink_Daily.nugg, SAPlink-plugins_Daily.nugg.
I add objects in the nugg file. But this Plugins aren't installed
DEVC Package No Plugin Available
TOBJ Definition of a Maintenance and Transport Object No Plugin Available
TRAN Transaction No Plugin Available
VDAT View Maintenance: Data No Plugin Available
W3MI Web Reporting/Internet Transaction Server MIME Types(binary No Plugin Available
XSLT Transformation No Plugin Available
Where is to download all plugins for SAPlink?
If this plugins don't come with the SAPlink plugins then the initial creators haven't contributed their plug-in to the SAPlink-plugins project and run their own project. Two years ago I've contacted most of the plugin creators to convince them to move over their code to the SAPlink plugins project. But not everyone did. So if you need that plugins check out the SAPlink Plugin List.

We are trying to import the SAPLink Files however we are unable to run the program ZSAPLINK. We run the program ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER and imported the nugget file. We selected all the objects in the worklist to activate. We get the message that following things were installed
Installed: CLAS ZCX_SAPLINK
Installed: CLAS ZSAPLINK
Installed: CLAS ZSAPLINK_OO
Installed: CLAS ZSAPLINK_CLASS
Installed: CLAS ZSAPLINK_NUGGET
Installed: CLAS ZSAPLINK_PROGRAM
Installed: PROG ZSAPLINK
However when we execute the program we get error in method CHECKNAME. We tried to implement this method, then we are getting the below error:
CALL METHOD zsaplink=>name_length_check Error: NAME_LENGTH_CHECK is unknown or PROTECTED
We are on ECC 7.4 SP 7 System running on HANA.
Please advice.
Dear Aamod,
have you downloaded the latest version from http://saplink.org?

Hello Gregor,
Yes we have downloaded the files from Assembla. SAPlink_Daily.nugg.zip version 388.

Hello Gregor,
I downloaded the Installer and ZSAPLINK today and imported into our DEV system. Trying to download the 'NUGG_20140617_ZEV_TP_CHECKTOOL' nugget file but keep getting the error 'Plugin for object type 'TRAN' is missing'. How can i download that plugin?
Dear Pallavi,
please check out the Plugin List where you will find also a link to the Transactions plug in.
Best regrads
Former Member
Did you ever find the TRAN plugin? I tried the Transactions plugin, along with the "all plugins" nugget, but I think it's referring to some kind of Transports plugin.
People who are looking for TRAN are usually trying to use the Transport Checking Tool (ZTCT).
Thanks Gregor and Edward for the doc by the way, the "Whole Worklist" note saved me
Former Member
Okay I solved the issue
It is probably intuitive for ABAPers, maybe not so much for a non developer (I'm Basis/DBA/Systems)
Transactions is indeed the right plugin (TRAN), but after you install it with SAPLINK, you have to go activate the class in se80
The class name is ZSAPLINK_TRANSACTIONS
Once you do that, you're good to go
I have got me the ABAP-code to provide me the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER program from saplink.org (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/saplink/subversion/source/HEAD/trunk/build).
Files are stamped at 2015-03-08.
Then I have got me the ZIP-file 'SAPlink_Daily.nugg.zip', which is defect. Got me the file 'SAPlink_Daily.nugg' and tried to process it by the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER program. It doesn't work at all...
I'am on a 7.02 SP9, using a 7.40 SP3 SAP GUI...
What I am doing wrong?
Kind Regards, Ron Meesters, ABAP-developer
Dear Ron,
I've just tried the SAPlink_Daily.nugg.zip and was able to extract the SAPlink_Daily.nugg out of it. Unfortunately the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER is missing in the zip right now but you are able to get it also from the build folder. Do you have any more detailed error messages? If yes, the please open an a Ticket at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/saplink/tickets.
Best regards
after installation and activation I got the following error when running ZSAPLINK program.
I've used latest build.
Running on 7.02 SP06
I probably did something wrong but I'm not able to identify the mistake.
Thanks for your help.
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "ZSAPLINK======================CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
The following syntax error occurred in program
"ZSAPLINK_CLASS================CP " in include
"ZSAPLINK_CLASS================CM001 " in
line 1:
"The abstract method "CHECKEXISTS" can only be implemented after its re"
"definition (METHODS CHECKEXISTS REDEFINITION)."
Are you Ron or Timmy?
Please install the Nugget a second time and try to activate then. I've just updated the documentation to do so.
Hi Gregor,
thanks. I'm Timmy Who is Ron?
I'll try again and provide feedback.
Because I thought the Message from Ron (Re: SAPlink User Documentation) was also from you because it seems the same problem.
Hi Gregor,
ok I got it.
ZSAPLINK program is running now. I needed to add the code snippet before activation. After that everything went fine.Error rendering macro 'code': Invalid value specified for parameter 'com.atlassian.confluence.ext.code.render.InvalidValueException'
Importing nuggets works perfect. But doesn't matter which slinkee file I try to upload I always get the same error:
Plugin for object type HTML is not installed on this system
I need to install plugins for object types DOMA, DTEL, INTF and MASG. Unfortunately these plugins exist only as .slnk files.
For example the following plugin shows the error although it's latest release is from Feb.
Has anyone solve the same issue?
Dear Timmy,
please get the SAPlink-plugins_Daily.nugg.zip from http://plugins.saplink.org/ and install the missing plugins from there.
Best regards
Hi Gregor,
It's Ron not Timmy... I found out what I have done wrong...
I used Google Chrome to download the ZIP-file by using the 'Save file as...'-right mouse menu item.
You'll then get the webpage underneath the link as a download. Chrome will use the name of the link, so the downloaded file will get the extension ZIP. But it's actually a HTM-file. I you click on the ZIP-file, you'll get the webpage underneath and the message that it's a binary file which can't be viewed. However at the right side of the page there's a download item. When using that particular download item you'll get a real ZIP-file.
SAPlink has been installed. Thanks for maintaining this work all these years...
Kind Regards, Ron Meesters

Hello Christian,
I got the same error when trying to install SAPLink on ABAP 740 SP12.
The subroutine check_intcode checks if the code for some of attributes are internally generated (numeric, 6).
Therefore in the NUGG file i changed the values of the attributes CODE of the XML tags
pfstatus_pfkfrom pure numeric (e.g., 000001) to alphanumeric (e.g., Z00001). I could then process the program and it looks good to me
PS - This is just a workaround, the original developers must however look into this issue
Hello Suhas,
great! Works also for us.
Hi, while trying to activate all SAPLINK object I get error Type "GTS_VERSION_INFO" is unknown (did "whole worklist thing" also).
Can anyone please assist?
Hi Vit Svoboda!
I got the same error in a minisap (SAP EHP 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0), i did the "whole worklist thing" too. Could you solve the problem? I will apreciate your feedback.
Former Member
Have you been able to resolve this issue? I have installed the latest build and end up with the same error. I have also selected Whole Worklist when activating.
Hi Robert, i haven't been able to resolve it, how about you?
Kind Regards!
I just resolved this same issue "GTS_VERSION_INFO" at a client where SAPLINK was previously installed by another user. SAPLINK_INSTALLER was originally not created as a local object. Hence= some of the SAPLINK classes were scattered across multiple packages. I was able to fix the issue by moving all SAPLINK objects into the same package, modifying the description of each class then activating them all together.
SAPLINK_INSTALLER will not overwrite classes that are assigned a transportable package. Hopefully your issue had the same root cause.
I Have downloaded the SAPlink_Daily.nugg from the saplink. and trying to execute the prog ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER. Getting a ABAP dump as

Not sure if I should place this here but the project website seems to be malfunctioning. I'm being forwarded from saplink.org to assembla, but I can't find any source code or plugins. Is the site abandoned?
Cheers and thanks for all the hard work on initiatives like these!

Importing a PF-Status inside a Function Group fails with ABAP 7.50 (and probably 7.40 too).
To fix that, you have to follow the instructions from above:
Therefore in the NUGG file i changed the values of the attributes CODE of the XML tags
pfstatus_pfkfrom pure numeric (e.g., 000001) to alphanumeric (e.g., Z00001). I could then process the program and it looks good to me
AND you have to patch the class ZSAPLINK_FUNCTIONGROUP, method CREATE_PFSTATUS to get this PF-Status imported (line 228):
* xtrkey-obj_type = 'PROG'.
xtrkey-obj_type = 'FUGR'.
xtrkey-obj_name = _program.
xtrkey-sub_type = 'CUAD'.
xtrkey-sub_name = _program.
xadm-actcode = 'X'. " Issues #276
I hope this fix finds its way to the build too
Dear Manuel,
please create an issue at http://saplink.org and we're happy to put that into the main build.

Hi Gregor,
I am facing a strange issue while importing classes into one system. It creates methods which has unmatched METHOD - ENDMETHOD statements(One METHOD and two ENDMETHOD statements), and I receive an error for each of the methods "You can not use the statement "ENDMETHOD" in current environment. However you could use similar statement "METHOD"".
Strangely enough, it does not happen when I import the nugget file into another system nugget file being exactly the same. Could you please let me know if anyone has faced similar issues.
Dear Raveesh,
please create an issue at http://saplink.org and provide information about the release levels of the systems. Also if possible include a sample nugget where this happens.

Have you tried abapgit.org?
Former Member
Yes Gregor, checked there as you suggested. But did not find any.
abapGit is a new project doing what SAPlink did but against a Git repository or if you want export / import from a ZIP file. Please give it a try.
Hello all,
I fail to install the SAPLINK thingy, mainly because the trunks/build folder does not include the files it should include according to the above instructions.
I have successfully created the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER report, but the "NUGG_SAPLINK_INSTALL.nugg" file the above instructions talk about does not exist in trunks/build, nor is there a zip file that contains it. All I can find there is a "SAPlink_Daily.nugg". I downloaded it and entered it in the ZSAPLINK_INSTALLER report, but when I execute, nothing happens. The report starts, but seemingly does nothing.
What can I do?
How do I add a ticket to http://saplink.org ? I've signed up and logged in but it errors everytime I try to add a ticket.
So I go to tickets, click on "Add new ticket" add the title and get "Error please try again". I have tried this half a dozen times.
Basically I've just updated SAPLink and the Plugins, but when I came to activate my worklist I get error with :-
Class ZSAPLINK_TABLE_TYPES,Method CREATEIXMLDOCFROMOBJECT
Type "DD43V" is unknown
I am running Netweaver 7 EHP1 SPS17, so 7.01 SPS 17.
There are also warnings when checking the program ZSAPLINK,
Program ZSAPLINK 1,512 Warning
The exception ZCX_SAPLINK is neither caught nor is it declared in the
RAISING clause of "NUGGET_ADD_OBJECT".
Program ZSAPLINK 1,554 Warning
The exception ZCX_SAPLINK is neither caught nor is it declared in the

Program ZSAPLINK 1,547 Warning
The exception ZCX_SAPLINK is neither caught nor is it declared in the
RAISING clause of "NUGGET_IMPORT".
Program ZSAPLINK 1,673 Warning
The exception ZCX_SAPLINK is neither caught nor is it declared in the
RAISING clause of "NUGGET_DISPLAY".
I could correct the method by specifying the type manually but wanted a proper fix. Since table DD43V does not exist in 7.01 perhaps it would be better if the code reflected this.
Hi Craig,
I have no issues creating a ticket using:
But I would suggest that you give http://abapgit.org/ a try. Perhaps it is possible to run it on 7.01.
Best regards
Good morning,
I had a problem with raising a ticket too, so I am using this channel (sorry for that).
Just now I downloaded last version of SAPLink and followed instructions. I am not able to install it - there is a short dump for PFSTATUS

Thank you very much,
I hope you're also aware of abapGit which I would recomend to use.
Thank you for the Info. I found some nugget solution that I need, therefore I tried to install SAPLink. Using abapGit I wasn't unable to find a way, how to use nugget file. So I am leaving this and try to find anythinge else.
Thank you.
Do you have a pointer to the project that provides the nugget? Maybe its worth asking if they switch to abapGit. But please also check the updated project links and file the issue on the new Github repo.
Good morning,
I was interested in this - Merge PDF in ABAP.

Choose the Right Right Liability Option Option for your Commercial
One type of coverage in a commercial car insurance policy will include a body injury claim. If an employee who uses your company vehicle causes an accident that injures another person, the insurance of liability for the injury will pay the costs associated with the victim. This may include hospital and medical bills, rehabilitation fees, long-term nursing care, funeral expenses, lost wages, suffering and suffering. This policy may also include your company's legal defense if you are sued as a result of your employee's involvement in the accident. In most states, liability insurance for physical injury is required by law.
If you work with a commercial car insurance company about your policy details, you will choose a limit that will determine the amount that the firm will pay for a particular claim. You can choose to have a split limit or a single merge boundary.
Choose the Right Right Liability Option Option for your Commercial
Split limit – This type of limit represents the maximum payment the company will pay per wounded person, and the maximum payment for all casualties. For example, if your policy includes a $ 20,000 / $ 50,000 limit, this would mean the company would pay up to $ 20,000 per injured person, up to a maximum of $ 50,000 for all injuries in a single claim.
Combined single limit (CSL) – In this case, there is no specific limit per person. The maximum amount assigned to all property injuries and damages due to a single accident. For example, your policy indicates that the insurer will pay up to $ 1 million for all property injuries and damages caused by accidents caused by your employees.
Consider the following comparison of how coverage might apply in case of an accident where your employees are behind another vehicle, and your split amount is $ 20,000 / $ 50,000: Choose the Right Right Liability Option Option for your Commercial
Suppose the cost for the accident was $ 700 for another driver's medical expenses and a $ 15,000 hospital bill for passengers in another car. Because everyone's medical expenses are less than $ 20,000 per person and total accidents are less than $ 50,000, all costs will be covered by the insurance company.
If the cost for the accident was more significant, such as $ 30,000 for other drivers and $ 20,000 for passengers, the total amount would be covered, but the sum of each for the other driver would be greater than the individual limit. Therefore, your policy will pay the maximum amount of $ 20,000 for the driver and the entire $ 20,000 for passengers, but your company will be responsible for the remaining number of drivers each above the maximum amount.
Some important considerations with liability for physical injury:
Most companies require that all your business vehicles be registered on a policy basis, with the same restrictions on each vehicle. Make sure your carrier is well informed about local laws regarding the physical injury liability requirements, as some countries set minimum limits. Some policies have a radius limitation, based on the vehicle's operating location. Check with your carrier to ensure that all restrictions match your business location and service area. Understand the scope of your business. There are exceptions to all types of policies, so make sure you know what might not be covered, such as deliberate action. Choose the Right Right Liability Option Option for your Commercial
Injury liability considerations are only one aspect of a commercial car insurance policy. Make sure you work with experienced operators who will take the time to understand your business needs and develop policies that are right for you.

Contextual Google Suggestions
After performing the search, Google will show a new type of suggestions that include your keywords, but not necessarily as a prefix. Google assumes that you're not happy with the search results and you're trying to find a query that returns better search results.
12 comments:
"but necessary as a prefix" -> "but not necessary as a prefix", I guess.ReplyDelete
Thanks. I fixed it.ReplyDelete
thats logical I believe...ReplyDelete
"include your keywords, but not necessary as a prefix" → "includes your keywords, but not necessarily as a prefix"ReplyDelete
"includes" because "a type" is singular.
"necessarily" because it's describing the verb "includes", so it should be made an adverb.
Sorry to nitpick, but if corrections are going to be suggested, they ought to be correct, you know. ;)

The problem lies with "a new type of suggestions" - "type" is singular, "suggestions" is plural. You can have a new type of suggestion/list/result/panel/drop-down etc. but not a new type of suggestions. The singular "type" can then be followed by "includes your keywords, but not necessarily as a prefix" but plural "suggestions" cannot, which is where the confusion lies. QED. Not nitpicking at all - grammar is grammar is grammar.ReplyDelete

Laying on a cozy blanket at the park on their first date which is going amazing, as it's obvious these two have crazy hot chemistry. Between all the frisky flirting, the boys have their first kiss and spice it up by making it a kissing contest. However, when the boys are as hot as Josh Brady and Danny Nelson, they definitely both cum out winners! After Danny gives hunky Josh a 10 out of 10 in the kissing department, the boys bring it inside to see what other tasty trouble they can sink their teeth into.
Brawny Brady takes the lead, lavishing the too cute twink with kisses that work their way down from his mouth to his budding young boner. Big boy Brady is a delicious dream boat and dirty Danny wraps his wet lips around this hunk's hard cock while on all fours, dropping a not so subtle hint he wants his hiney manhandled. With his hog still lodged deep in Danny's dick sucker, Brady explores Nelson's nether regions, slapping the kid's smooth ass and teasing his hot pink hole.
He spins the twink around and chows down on his his butt like an all you can eat buffet before giving the kid some cock for dessert. Nelson's hole is wet and hungry so Josh is able to ease every thick, bareback inch in deep and steady. Brady uses his brawn to lift his boy's torso off the bed by the neck. He wraps his muscled arm around the kid and just crashes cock deep inside the boy's sweet center.
Even as Danny rides Brady's beast, it's clear our hunk is in control. He holds the twink's cheek's up in the air with each hand and slides his ass slicked schlog up towards the heavenly pleasure inside our boy. The tiny twink can no longer hold onto his load and drains his dick's delicious contents. He cover's Josh's hot jock physique, then the cock junkie tells Brady "Don't stop!" He doesn't. Josh hammers hole till his cock cries out with cum, covering nasty boy Nelson's pink pucker with salty seed.
He dips his wick back in and coats the kids insides with a yummy cream pie surprise.

Dear President Obama,
You're not the man I thought you were.
Roughly a week ago, you issued a waiver that would allow the US to continue to provide military assistance to four countries—Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen, and Chad—whose militaries recruit or deploy child soldiers.
You claimed the waivers would serve as a warning to the states to get their acts together. You claimed Yemen is a key ally in the war on terror and requires our assistance to survive. You said Chad, the DRC, and Sudan were making steps in the right direction and still required our assistance for force modernization and human rights training. Even your advisor Samantha Powers, someone whose human rights work I have deep respect for, tried to justify the waivers as a chance for these countries to do better.
Most progressives have no problem finding flaws with your first years as President to criticize you about, whether it's the whittling down of the healthcare bill, decision to ramp up military operations in Afghanistan, failure to close Guantanamo, or deal effectively with Climate Change at Copenhagen.
For me however, it is the moments in which you have an opportunity to make a clear decision, with profound moral implications, and yet choose to act in a way that makes me ashamed to call you my President.
It has been one of the saddest and most disappointing aspects of your presidency that you have not only allowed militaries that use children to fight their battles to operate with impunity, but currently and actively assist these same militaries. I wish I could say these waivers were the first instance I suffered this extreme disappointment, but just last year you provided training, arms, and cash to the Somalia Transitional Federal Government, a known user of child soldiers. I still have not forgiven you.
I understand why the idea of professionalizing soldiers and training them in human rights could sound appealing, and even seem like the right course of action. However, a good soldier soon becomes meaningless if he is left to exist independent of the civil institutions necessary to both support him and hold him accountable for his actions. You are smart enough to know no amount of military training and good intentions will create civilian accountability and human rights in these conflict zones. The rule of the gun can never accomplish what the rule of law can.
If these governments lacked the institutional wherewithal to keep children out of their militaries in the first place, what should make us believe they will be able to control the soldiers we train for them? Should we believe that the key power players and military leaders in these countries who have shown their moral disregard for human rights before are suddenly changed men? That the war criminal Bosco Ntaganda has just been misunderstood by the ICC and only needs our help to change his ways? Why should we give these people a second chance to hurt more people?
I can believe that trying to achieve the progressive agenda you promised was difficult, and subject to many institutional constraints that kept you from doing everything the world hoped for. I don't blame you for that.
That you have decided to make an exception for child soldiers in these countries, in the name of our national interests—for that, I do blame you. As a Senator, you supported and co-sponsored the Child Soldier Prevention Act that made what you are doing illegal. Perhaps more importantly, you are a father with two young children of your own.
What national interest of ours would be worth destroying the innocence of Sasha and Malia? And why is it acceptable for children in other countries to fight for these national interests?
All of this has lead me to one of two conclusions: either you lied to us, you lied about the bill you supported, about the type of man you were, about the promises of change, or perhaps more disappointing–the system has changed you.
You are the President of my country, but I'll be damned if you do this in my name. This is your decision and your moral failing. Its consequences will be born by others, but the blame and the responsibility lies squarely with you.
Regretfully yours,
Michael Sean Lally

History is a lot like forestry. In the latter, you often can't see the forest for the trees, and in the former you often can't see the epoch for the incidents. Though it hardly seems as momentous as the Great Depression or the civil rights era, our current period may be one of the most significant in American history — one that may well determine what kind of country we will be for decades hence. To put our own times in focus, it helps to ask: What will historians 50 or 150 years from now think of the early 21st century?
It is an apt question, because history has a way of challenging and altering the perceptions that any time has of itself. In its own day, for example, the 1920s were a boon period that gave rise to national free-spiritedness. In the long eye of history, they were the myopic prelude to the Great Depression. In his own day, Harry Truman was an accidental president, a pipsqueak who couldn't fill FDR's shoes. In the long eye of history, he is regarded as one of our most successful presidents, navigating the sticky post-war period internationally, and helping propel an economic boom domestically.
Predicting the historical long view is a risky proposition, but let me hazard a guess: Historians will wonder what bizarre convulsions this nation was going through — how it seemed to lose its moral, political, and economic bearings, how the gains of social and economic equality that were a century in the making were reversed, and, above all, how the country actually became less democratic, often with the acquiescence of many ordinary Americans.
The first thing historians are likely to fasten on is the historic economic inequality in America today. As the French economist Thomas Piketty has documented in his pathbreaking book, "Capital in the 21st Century," America, the vaunted land of opportunity, has become one of the most unequal nations in the history of the world when it comes to wealth distribution — a country in which the top 1 percent own nearly 40 percent of the nation's wealth.
Historians will certainly also focus on the fight to disenfranchise poor and minority voters after 100 years of advancing civil rights. They will discuss how the Supreme Court and the Republican Party succeeded in rolling back many of those achievements — the court by ripping out a central provision of the Voting Rights Act, and Republican state legislatures by imposing onerous voter registration restrictions that, let's face it, have one aim only: to suppress minority voting, which is likely to tilt Democratic.
They will cite the role of money in politics and the sudden turnabout by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions, which released a torrent of big money into American politics.
They will look at the nation's increasing churlishness — its reluctance to embrace health reform that would provide insurance to those who cannot otherwise afford it, its willingness to cut benefits, like food stamps, that primarily help the young and the elderly, its grudging extension of unemployment benefits to people afflicted by the economic downturn.
And historians will say that these are not discrete things but that they coalesce to form what may be called the age of inequality. Historians are also likely to see how this age of inequality answered what has been arguably the nation's foremost question from its founding: Is America to be an aristocracy or a democracy? Ever since Andrew Jackson, the thrust, with a few detours, has been toward democracy. Historians will show that had changed in the late 20th and early 21st century, not necessarily because most Americans wanted economic inequality, voter suppression, big money in politics, or cruelty to the poor but because the system wasn't responsive to them. It had become oligarchic.
I suspect that historians will view this as a terribly bleak period — another Gilded Age but worse. They will observe that the ever-fragile democratic enterprise was hijacked, perhaps permanently. They will mainly blame the Republicans, though if Republicans will be accused of lacking heart and brains in promulgating these policies, Democrats will be accused of lacking guts in not fighting them more strenuously. They will show how Ronald Reagan's seeds of economic inequality finally sprouted into our society of the super-rich and everyone else.
And they will wonder: Why there was so little resistance?
The answer is complex, but it seems to have two primary components. The first is that resistance is basically futile, and everyone knows it. The wealthy have always worked the levers of power, and though we have had periods of greater equality — the period from the end of the Great Depression to the beginning of Reagan's presidency — America is more or less an oligarchy by design. The only difference now is that there is nothing surreptitious about it.
And that leads to the second component. As intellectuals are fond of saying, ideas have consequences. It is just that the consequences may have less to do directly with policy than with mythology. The prevailing mythology has been that the wealthy are deserving of their spoils — that they are a living example of the proposition that anyone who wants to make it in America can. Of course, people want to believe that, but it provides great cover for inequality. You almost feel un-American protesting that it isn't remotely true.
So the country rolls on, and it rolls back. And historians will wonder how the 21st century came to resemble the end of the 19th — a terrible time when the wealthy ruled and everyone else capitulated.

Vienna, 16 May 2014 - Although the exploitation of children is not a new phenomenon, the digital age has exacerbated the problem and increased children's vulnerability. At a side event during the 23 rd Session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) launched a study on the effects of new technologies on the abuse and exploitation of children.
The event brought together experts from the fields of law enforcement and academia to present the study and discuss this issue of growing international concern.
Fast-paced technological innovation and widespread accessibility of information and communication technology (ICTs) have transformed societies around the world. Children in particular have unprecedented access to computers and mobile technologies, and have in recent decades tended to adopt these from an early age, resulting in ICTs becoming thoroughly embedded in their lives.
"Cyberspace is a place where children can be groomed with impunity, while the perpetrators remain hidden. By launching this study, UNODC and its partners are helping to bring online child abusers out of the shadows and into the judicial spotlight through better training and better investigative techniques among law enforcement officers," said UNODC Executive Director Yury Fedotov.
The UNODC study is based on open source research on the issue and the outcomes of an informal expert group meeting held in Vienna in September 2013. It covers the main forms of ICT-facilitated child abuse and exploitation, including the creation and distribution of child sexual abuse material (child pornography); commercial sexual exploitation of children; cyber-enticement, solicitation and grooming; cyber-bullying, cyber-harassment and cyber-stalking; as well as exposure to harmful content.
The study found that low prices for information and communication technology (ICT) devices and widely available high-speed internet leads to sex offenders having unprecedented access to materials and an online community to facilitate their abusive and exploitative behaviour. Through the internet, online predators gain access to children faster and in higher volumes, using chat rooms, emails, online games and social networking sites to find and groom victims.
The globalized and anonymous cyberspace environment also help predators evade detection in new ways, and a multitude of technical challenges hinder governments' abilities to identify and address child exploitation offences. Organized criminal networks also exploit the void, profiting from the commercial child pornography and child sex trafficking markets.
A number of international legal instruments require states to take measures to protect children from abuse and exploitation, as well as engage in international cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and exploitation crimes. A lack of consistent and appropriate legislation across countries globally, however, remains a major impediment to successful investigations and prosecutions. Individual states vary considerably in their definitions of child abuse and exploitation, and often cannot move fast enough to enact laws that keep pace with technology.
The study also found that one of the greatest gaps in fighting online child abuse is the lack of skilled and dedicated personnel among law enforcement agencies in key investigative areas, such as handling digital evidence and conducting image analysis, profiling offenders, and the ability to develop networks to facilitate cooperation across jurisdictions and borders, among others.
Victim assistance is also an area where deficiencies were found, such as the absence of standard protocols for supporting victims through the investigative process, as well as appropriate techniques for interviewing young victims and collecting and preserving victim-related evidence.
The study noted that the private sector is also a key actor in the prevention of such crimes, as the main driving force among technological development worldwide. Self-regulation by internet service providers, self-monitoring by travel and tourism companies and the creation of financial and technology coalitions or coordination groups are some of suggested areas for improvement.
Preventive efforts are also key. Parents, guardians, child educators and civil society are a vital component in combating the problem, including by supporting children in understanding and handling online risks, "flagging" abusive and exploitative material online, and through the creation of telephone hotlines for reporting such crimes.
The UNODC study is accompanied by a proposed package of technical assistance for Member States to help combat this crime, which includes law enforcement and judicial training, activities for improved international cooperation and awareness raising tools.

Geomagic Freeform Plus is a multi-representation, multi-purpose digital modeling and 3D sculpting software system for producing manufacturable, highly-detailed objects that are intricate or organically shaped, such as toys, figurines, medical implants, fine art or other sculptural objects.
This software offers the indusrty's only sculpting software that delivers a fast way for designers and modelers to create original models or modify and stylize scan data, and then output to additive manufacturing systems for prototyping and 3D printing, prepare molds for milling, or send to downstream CAD or CAM systems.
Two unique aspects of Freeform are integration with haptic 3D input devices and a robust voxel-based data model. The combination of these provides a unique capability to emulate the physical process of sculpting clay. The haptic 3D input devices also enhance the experience of modeling using many more commonplace CAD techniques.
This profoundly different 3D scullting system includes a comprehensive set of modeling and detailing tools,voxel, SubD, surface and Nurbs modeling tools, dimensional control, and import and export of polygon and NURBS data for reference and modeling. Parting line evaluation is also included, enabling users to avoid costly production mistakes through adjustment of their models early in the design process.
When your work requires CAD part interoperability and preparing models for manufacturing, FreeForm Plus has all the capability of the FreeForm system and also includes NURBS surfacing and solids tools, CAD part interoperability, and moldable part and mold insert functionality.

NAR Forecast: Modest Increase in Home Sales Expected in 2016
Following the housing market's best year in nearly a decade, existing-home sales are forecasted to expand in 2016 at a more moderate pace. INCLUDES VIDEO
WASHINGTON — January 12, 2016 — Following the housing market's best year in nearly a decade, existing-home sales are forecasted to expand in 2016 at a more moderate pace as pent-up buyer demand combats affordability pressures and meager economic growth, according to National Association of Realtors® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun in a newly-released video on his 2016 housing market expectations.
In the NAR-published video, Yun discusses his expectations for the U.S. economy and housing market in 2016 and points to pent-up demand, sustained job growth and improving inventory conditions as his reasons for an expected gain (from 2015) in new and existing-home sales (view infographic).
Despite his forecasted increase in sales, Yun cites rising mortgage rates, home prices still outpacing wages and shaky global economic conditions as headwinds that will likely hold back a stronger pace of sales.
"This year the housing market may only squeak out 1 to 3 percent growth in sales because of slower economic expansion and rising mortgage rates," Yun says in the video. "Furthermore, the continued rise in home prices will occur due to the fact that we will again encounter housing shortages in many markets because of the cumulative effect of homebuilders under producing for multiple years. Once the spring buying season begins, we'll begin to feel that again."
With one month of data remaining for 20151, Yun expects total existing-homes sales to finish the year up 6.5 percent from 2014 at a pace of around 5.26 million —the highest since 2006, but roughly 25 percent below the prior peak set in 2005 (7.08 million). The national median existing-home price for all of 2015 will be close to $221,200, up around 6 percent from 2014. In 2016, existing sales are expected to grow between 1 and 2 percent (5.30 to 5.40 million) and prices between 5 and 6 percent.

The NYT Digital Domain column today points out an important source of competitive advantage for Google, Google's hordes of PhD's.
But the article unemphasizes an important point. You can't build a culture of innovation by just hiring a bunch of bright people. You need to allow them to do great things. Many companies hire top talent, but then isolate them in research group in a corner of the company, away from the product teams. In a misguided effort to minimize risk, innovation is crippled.
At Google, the PhD's are integrated into the development teams. This makes the culture look like one big research lab, focused on innovation. People have the autonomy, authority, and responsibility necessary to get things done. Google doesn't just hire great people; it lets great people do great things.

The secret weapon: An army of PhD's

Good points, Greg. Google's practice of integrating researchers and product teams are what separates it from Xerox PARC, which has had numerous PhD's but few product successes. Xerox PARC is a continent away from Xerox headquarters. When I was at PARC, I never met anyone from a product team who came by to look at what we were doing.

Exactly, this point is very important. That is applicable to most companies though, I think in the bottom there is a lack of confidence on innovation and creativity. Google bets, Google wins.

Rolling Factors Deformations and Extensions of Canonical Curves
A tetragonal canonical curve is the complete intersection of two divisors on a scroll. The equations can be written in `rolling factors' format. For such homogeneous ideals we give methods to compute infinitesimal deformations. Deformations can be obstructed. For the case of quadratic equations on the scroll we derive explicit base equations. They are used to study extensions of tetragonal curves.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14B07 14H51 14J28 32S30

AEC From the Ground Up Top Tools for Preliminary Design31 Mar, 2005 By: AIA ,H. Edward Goldberg
Going digital can spark creativity and speed work along
AN Architectural Colleague, although he considers his practice digitally up to date, told me recently that he still prefers to design with colored pencil and tracing paper. This method, he says, gives him a "feel for the design." Although this sentiment is not uncommon, my belief is that designing digitally from start to finish not only increases productivity, but also aids the creative process. To that end, this article assays various digital tools and methodologies available in the AEC arena for preliminary design.
Wacom Cintiqwww.wacom.com
Alias Sketch Book Prowww.alias.com
Adobe Photoshopwww.adobe.com
If you want the best of both worlds, the ability to draw as with pencil and paper while in the digital realm, the Wacom Cintiq with Alias Sketch Book Pro is the way to go (figure 1). The Cintiq is a flat-screen monitor combined with a resistive digitizer tablet. This system is identical to that available with Tablet PCs, which have smaller screens. Because the device is resistive, plastic straight edges and curves may be placed on the screen to scribe lines. The wireless stylus that comes with the Cintiq is pressure sensitive and requires no battery. This system is as close as you can get to drawing with standard instruments. Previously available in 15" and 18" sizes, the Cintiq is now available only in 20.5" size. But the $2,500 selling price of the 20.5" Cintiq is lower than that of the discontinued 18" Cintiq.
Figure 1. I created this sketch using Alias SketchBook Pro 1.1 with a Wacom Cintiq tablet.
Alias SketchBook Pro 1.1 is a raster drawing program specifically designed for use with a Tablet PC or Wacom Cintiq (although it also works with any digitizer pad). It uses raster brush technology gleaned from high-end software, also aimed at industrial designers. The digital pencil tool is indistinguishable from real pencil and paper. SketchBook Pro 1.1 features a gesture-based user interface built around Alias' patented Marking Menu technology. No keyboard entry is necessary—even layers are labeled by handwriting. Free demonstration software is available at the Alias Web site. Try it, print out the results and see if your clients can tell whether you used a computer or conventional drawing tools. Alias Sketch Book Pro 1.1 for the PC and Macintosh sells for $179.
Adobe Photoshop, a raster-based program, is the most-used graphic software program in the world. It has excellent raster editing capability and can quickly make excellent presentations and tracings.
The new Adobe Creative Suite is a complete design environment that combines full versions of Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive and Acrobat Professional software—everything a professional office needs for its preliminary design, presentation and public relations requirements. Creative Suite Premium sells for $1,229. Creative Suite Standard, which doesn't include Go Live or Acrobat Professional, costs $999.
Scott Onstott's excellent Photoshop video tutorials are aimed at architects and the AEC market. Videos cover PhotoShop essentials, plans and elevations and compositing. They can be downloaded for $34.95 each at www.scottonstott.com or purchased all together on CD-ROM for $99.95. These video tutorials are amazing—all you'd ever want to know, even things you didn't know existed. These bargain videos will take any PhotoShop presentation a giant leap forward.
Consistent Software Plan Tracer, Plan to Modelwww.csoft.com
PlanTracer and Plan2Model are raster-to-vector converters with a twist. They take any scanned or hand-drawn raster file and convert it automatically into an Architectural Desktop or ArchiCAD 3D model. Users can scan in a paper drawing or input one created using the Cintiq with a raster drawing program. PlanTracer or Plan2model recognizes the sketch intent and creates a 3D CAD model. PlanTracer can be used in conjunction with Architectural Desktop, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Plan2Model turns 2D raster drawings into 3D ArchiCAD models. These programs are not for the digital faint of heart, but with some training, they will recognize freehand sketches and convert them into accurate CAD information. They even recognize and convert written notes in the sketches.
@Last Software SketchUpwww.sketchup.com
SketchUp is probably the best digital preliminary design tool on the market, and a favorite among architects and designers all over the world. New to v4 is the Texture Tweaker, with which any texture or photo can be stretched and manipulated across any continuous surface. Users can now place a photo of a building onto a 3D square created in SketchUp and model directly from the picture. The new Intersector provides all the power of Boolean modeling and is capable of performing multiple changes in rapid succession. The program doesn't produce subtle or photorealistic lighting or provide a Phong or similar photorealistic renderer, but users can export in native Piranesi file format and in Piranesi produce results that approach photorealism. SketchUp includes a free downloadable reader so that clients can interactively explore (but not make changes to) the models.
A test drive is worth a thousand words—to this end SketchUp provides an 8-hour free trial of a fully functional, downloadable version of the program. ArchiCAD and Architectural Desktop users should be sure to download the free plugins for those programs. These plugins help users create models in SketchUp that can be imported to Architectural Desktop and ArchiCAD, automatically reusing the digital information by making roof, walls, slabs and doors in these programs. SketchUp is available for both the PC and Macintosh. Price is $495, or $95 as an upgrade.
auto des sys form Z 5.0www.formz.com
Autodesk VIZ, 3ds maxwww.autodesk.com
Alias Maya, Alias Studiowww.alias.com
3D designs can be created directly with these programs, and because they are vector or NURBS-based, varying amounts of information can be reused for the construction documentation stage. Autodest includes routines k VIZ is a visualization program that works well with Architectural Desktop (a variant is included with Architectural Desktop). Ithat aid in the creation of 3D objects. Auto.des.sys' form.Z 5.0 is a CAD-centric visualization solution that can be used to generate 3D study models. for a detailed review. Autodesk 3ds max and Alias Maya are excellent full-featured 3D modeling, visualization and animation programs more suited to the movie, TV and game industries, though 3ds max continues to be popular for architectural renderings and animations.
Graphisoft ArchiCAD 9www.graphisoft.com
Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006, Revit 8www.autodesk.com
All of these programs feature a 3D conceptual design tool of some type, and all are capable of using this information again during the construction document phase. It's even possible to design directly in the construction documents. A good operator should be able to conceive and document in the same process. These programs are truly 3D architectural solutions (figure 2).
Figure 2. Building Maker is Revit 8s 3D conceptual design tool. All of the conceptual model information can be reused during the construction documentation phase.
Digital designDesign sensibility is in the eye (and hand) of the beholder, and the methodologies of designing are as varied as the practitioners. Whether you design with pencil and paper, or clay, or cardboard, the process is the same—to create and then to document that design. The information from designs created with pencil and paper must be digitized before it can be used with modern communication systems or printing devices. Digital information can be obtained from clay or cardboard models by 3D digitizing. However, the biggest productivity boost comes from designing directly in a digital manner—2D or 3D. Going totally digital can be a bit daunting, but for those who are capable of using the tools with proficiency, the results can be rewarding, both creatively and financially.

While I am an indie kid through and through, spending many nights in the audible company of Okkervil River and The National, I've always had a weakness for the music of my people, the Fench. I like being French for innumerable reasons, including but not limited to my love of the country's seductive yet relâché take on fashion and the French's laissez faire attitude towards relationships, but the thing I love most about my heritage is chanson. From Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy to modern day French multitaskers like Charlotte Gainsbourg and Keren Ann, I've always been taken with my proverbial motherland and I've always wondered why it is exactly that more French music isn't widely available and beloved in the states.
Part of that, of course, is the fact that some of the loveliest French releases never even make it to America. One of these such releases is the debut full length album by chanteuse Madjo, a classically trained French-Senegalese violinist. If Trapdoor, her September released album, were brought to the U.S., I feel like Madjo could be the next big quirky indie female… if only people could hear her!
Madjo is a spritely scamp who's adorable nature brings to mind, vocally, a mix of Fiona Apple and Imogen Heap and, personality wise, a more three dimensional version of Charlotte Gainsbourg's enigmatic pal Zoe in The Science of Sleep.
Trapdooris split almost evenly between perfectly enunciated English indie pop and edgy, quirky tracks in Madjo's native toungue. Album opener "Leaving My Heart" spins a jazz tinged web that's not completely out of step with Fiona Apple, back when she was ripe with Jon Brion's lovely oddities. As with the rest of the album, "Leaving My Heart" is heavy on layered vocals, making Madjo's husky and melodic voice even more alluring.
The dance beat of "Another Day" is ripe for play at hipster bars while "Le Coeur Hibou" is audible sex appeal, with enticing vocals that only a French woman could provide and a backdrop of multi-layered, echoing instruments. The album's title track is a clap-along number that spares no expense when it comes to charm and it just begs to be in a Focus Features off-beat romance, during the inevitable "Why don't we just fall in love?" moment between the two quirky and neurotic main characters.
While I am French by birth, I cannot hold my own in a French conversation to save my life. Nevertheless, one of Trapdoor's most captivating tracks is "Le Nid Des 100 Soucis." What's Madjo saying? I haven't a clue! But the fact that "Le Nid Des 100 Soucis" a straight up, infectious jam is a testament to Madjo's talent. Nothing to do with the appeal of the song, or Madjo herself, is lost in translation.
Amber Valentine is the editor in chief of Radio Free Chicago and you can read her review of Madjo's first release, a self titled EP, here.

Number of Players Play Time Suggested Age 2 to 4 45 minutes 14+
This is an expansion and requires the base game to play: No
In Barony, players are ambitious barons trying to extend their dominion over the land! Who will succeed and become the new king?
At the beginning of the game, players create the board at random with nine tiles per player; each tile is comprised of three hexagons, with each hexagon being one of five landscape types: forest, plains, field, mountain, lake. Players then each place three cities on the game board, with a knight in each city. They then take turns in clockwise order, with each player taking exactly one action from the six possible actions:
- Recruitment: Add two knights to a city, or three knights if the city is adjacent to a lake.
- Movement: Move one or two of your knights one space each. A knight can't enter a lake (blub), a mountain with an opposing pawn, or any space with an opponent's city or stronghold or two knights of the same opposing color. If you move a second knight into a space with an opposing pawn or village, remove those tokens and take one resource from the village owner.
- Construction: Remove one or more of your knights from the game board and replace each with a village or stronghold, gaining one resource token matching the landscape under the structure.
- New City: Replace one of your villages with a city and earn 10 victory points (VPs).
- Expedition: Remove two knights from your reserve, placing one back in the box out of play and the other on any empty space on the edge of the game board.
- Noble Title: Discard at least 15 resource points, then upgrade your title: baron to viscount, then count, marquis and finally duke.
Once any player has gained the title of duke, finish the round, then tally the VPs, with players scoring for resources still in their possession, their rank in the game, and the number of cities they built. Whoever has the most VPs wins.
