text: Third Annual ISIS Distinguished Lecture Relational Coordination and Resilience for the Changing Healthcare Context Jody Hoffer Gittell PhD October 4, 2013 ~ 12-1pm OHSU Old Library Auditorium Relational coordination is a core element for achieving personal and organizational resiliency and aligning relationships for transformed health care delivery. This lecture is part of an annual series on improving personal and organizational resiliency. RSVP Jody Hoffer Gittell, PhD is Professor of Management at Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management. Gittell's research explores how coordination by front-line workers contributes to quality and efficiency outcomes in service settings. She has developed a theory of relational coordination, proposing that highly interdependent work is most effectively coordinated through relationships of shared goals, shared knowledge and mutual respect, and demonstrating how organizations can support relational coordination through the design of their work systems. High Performance Healthcare: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve Quality, Efficiency and Resilience (McGraw-Hill, 2009) summarizes Gittell's research on relational coordination and its performance effects in healthcare. Gittell received her PhD from the MIT Sloan School of Management, her MA from The New School and her BA from Reed College, and taught for six years at the Harvard Business School before joining the faculty of Brandeis University.

Brandeis overcomes halftime deficit to upend No. 13 Washington (Mo.) 67-62
ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Brandeis defeated 13th-ranked Washington (Mo.) 67-62 in the WU Field House on Sunday. With the win, the Judges improved to 14-2 and remain tied with No. 2 Rochester atop the UAA with a 5-0 record. They picked up just their third-ever win in St. Louis. The Bears fall to 12-4, 2-3 UAA, and sit three games back.
The Judges were led by juniors Derek Retos and Gabriel Moton, who scored 37 of the team's 46 points in the second half, as Brandeis overcame a four-point halftime deficit. Retos led all players with his game-high 23 points coming after the break, when he hit 6 of 9 from 3-point range, including four in a row at one point. Retos's 23 points off the bench were 11 more than the entire WashU reserves combined. With his six 3-pointers, Retos became just the seventh player with 150 for his career at Brandeis, moving into sixth overall with 154. He needs three more from downtown to move into the top five.
Moton, the team's leading scorer, had three points in the first half when he hit just 1 of 8, but in the second he connected on 4 of 6 with a pair of 3-pointers and four free throws for 14 points.
Moton buried what proved to be the game-winning 3-pointer from the top of the key as the shot clock expired with 1:19 left in regulation, snapping a tie at 57, the sixth deadlock of a game that featured 11 lead changes.
Against a Bear squad leading Division III with a +13.3 rebound margin entering the weekend, the Judges won the battle of the boards 21-14 in the second half and trailed by a slim 39-38 margin for the game. The Judges had a balanced attack on the boards, with six different players grabbing between four and six caroms. Junior Ben Bartoldus led the Judges with six boards, while senior Wouter van der Eng and junior Alex Schmidt had five each, including four on the offensive glass for Schmidt. Moton, with four assists, and Retos with three, combined for seven of the Judges' 10 assists.
WashU put three starters in double figures, led by Chris Klimeks' 18 points. Matt Palucki had 12 points and game-highs of nine rebounds and five assists for the Bears. Alan Aboona finished with 10 points on three 3-pointers, and had four helpers. Washington took nearly twice as many free throws as the Judges (30-16), but they hit just 15 of those foul shots for 50 percent from the line. After holding the Judges to 23.3 percent shooting (7-30) in the first half as they built a 25-21 lead, WashU allowed the visitors to connect on a 53.6 percent clip (15-28), including 53.3 percent from beyond the arc (8-15).
Brandeis trailed by as many as six points in the first half at 11-5 eight minutes in, but the Judges scored 10 unanswered points, the last five by senior Jay Freeman off the bench. The Judges were ahead 18-14 on a Bartoldus 3-pointer with 3:42 on the clock , but WashU closed on a 12-3 run -- sparked by an answer long ball from Ben Hoener -- to take the four-point 25-21 edge into the locker room.
Brandeis opened the second half with nine of the first 14 points, tying the game on a Moton jumper and reclaiming the lead 30-29 with his 3-pointer at the 17:13 mark. After a free throw miss by Retos on a technical foul shortly after, Palucki knotted the game at 31 on a lay-up with 16:05 left. WashU hit 1 of 2 from the line to go ahead by one on their next possession, but Retos caught fire after that. He hit 3-pointers on four of the Judges' next six possessions -- several from 25 feet out -- capping a 14-8 run. The Bears didn't go away, reclaiming a one-point lead three more times the rest of the way, but the Judges answered each time, once with a Moton jumper and twice with Retos from downtown.
The most important possession of the game came after Klimek tied the game at 57 with an underneath lay-up and 2:30 left on the clock. The Judges twice missed 3-pointers on the possession, but Schmidt corralled the offensive boards each time. The third time was the charm, as the Judges probed the WashU defense before Moton connected from deep as the shot clock expired. Brandeis then hit 7 of 8 from the free throw line to keep the hosts at bay.

You don't need a special place or special time to pray. You don't need to be in a special mood to pray. Praying is like breathing, - continuous, essential, life-giving, - praying is the conversation with God you start with birth and continue into old age. Praying is your celebration of God, - everything you do, everything you think, everything you say is another word, another sentence of your prayer. We are ALL standing on shoulders that paved the way before us. Negative thoughts and words show the lack of the 'God' in YOU!.

Lankan goalie HM Kumara gave Nepal a scare getting his hands to Anil Gurung´s shot that eventually powered into the top right corner of the net as Nepal took the first shot. But Sandeep Rai, Biraj Maharjan and Raju Tamang were clinical in the following shots to limit Kumara as a mere spectator. Lankan skipper Chaturn Maduranga and Kasun Jayasooriya also coolly converted the first two shots but EB Chanua and Sanjay Pradeep Kumara hit over the bar to hand Nepal a deserving victory to the delight of more than 25,000 Nepali fans.
Sri Lanka started the match in a dominant fashion as the tired Nepali players looked out of sorts in absence of talismanic striker Jumanu Rai who had taken an elbow on chest during the semifinal victory Friday. The over-exuberant Lankans seemed to be getting carried away with their dominance and frequently confronted referee Gyanu Raja Shrestha who obliged by dishing out yellow cards in his signature style. Nepali linesmen Binod KC and Sailesh Joshi looked a little biased toward Nepal even as the Lankans felt that the whole world was against them with the sea of Nepali fans, who were a little undisciplined at times hurling missiles at the Lankans, backing their heroes in the ground.
But once Jumanu stepped in for the off-color Nirajan Rayamajhi two minutes before the end of the first half, the complexion of the match changed and Nepali players found a definite spring in their steps. Jumanu, himself, tested the Lankan keepers twice with powerful shots in the second half while Anil Gurung and Khum Gurung also had decent attempts on target, with the latter´s coming seconds before the end of regulation time.
Nepal also dominated the added extra time but could not find the much-needed goal as the Lankans got the shootout they wanted half an hour earlier. Cocky Lankan coach Perera even pumped his fists after the end of the extra time as if Lankan victory was a foregone conclusion but Chanua and Kumara embarrassed him.
Minister for Communications Krishna Bahadur Mahara handed the cup to the winning side. The crowd, which invaded the ground, cheered the Nepali team as it received the cup and gold medals. The Sri Lanka team members also received a silver medal each.
Captain of the victorious Nepali side Rakesh Shrestha said that this was a victory for Nepali football. "Nepali fans and players were disappointed because of interruption in football. I am glad to see the parfait full after so many years. Nepali football should not be interrupted. We dedicate this win to our supporters," said Shrestha.

Op Ed: For and Against PSE&G's $4 Billion Grid Upgrade – A Special PackageMarch 25, 2013 – In The News
PSE&G's proposed $4 billion filing to upgrade and enhance the resiliency of its power and natural gas grids has sparked off more than something of a stir among state officials, lawmakers, customers, and businesses across the state.
The utility argues that its Energy Strong program is a response to the flaws and shortcomings in its distribution systems revealed by Hurricane Sandy. The Division of Rate Counsel, meanwhile, has raised a flag that New Jersey consumers will end up bearing an inordinate burden for the upgrades.
NJ Spotlight seeks to encourage responsible debate on critical public issues. In that spirit, on the following pages we offer two Op-Eds, each taking a different side of the argument:
Philip K. Beachem, president of the New Jersey Alliance for Action, argues in favor of PSE&G's Proposal.
Fox Rothschild's Steven S. Goldenberg, legal counsel to the New Jersey Large Energy Users Coalition, presents the opposing argument.

The Pride of California
A Cal Band Celebration
a Cal Band Centennial Celebration
The Pride of California:
A Cal Band Centennial Celebration
The volume you hold in your hands is the result of years of planning, research, and design by a dedicated team of California Band alumni, friends, and student members. It is, in many ways, an apt reflection of the many hours that the Band itself dedicates to its goal: outstanding service to the University through excellent performance. Like the Cal Band, this work is colorful and humorous, rich with tradition and legend, and above all, committed to entertaining and fascinating you.
The Pride of California brings together highlights from the Band's past and present in vivid images and informative text. The spirit and enthusiasm that permeate everything the Cal Band does shines through in page after page of delightful reminiscence, with a look ahead to the promise of the next century.
I often ask the question: What would the Cal campus do without the Cal Band?
Is there any other group or organization which contributes so much so often to so many functions? The Band shows are a major attraction of the halftime interval at football games. The Band plays for basketball games, for Charter Day ceremonies, for Commencement ceremonies, for some track meets, for dedications, for special events of all kinds. It is hard to imagine an occasion which is not enhanced and enriched by the music of the Band. In my own case, I can never forget thrill I had as an ignorant freshman attending my first football game in the California Memorial Stadium. No one had told me what to expect. Suddenly from the north tunnel there came a stirring fanfare. The crowd rose to its feet. In came an imposing Drum Major doing impossible feats with the baton. Then onto the field swept the Band in dazzling uniforms, playing spine tingling music. The impression on this seventeen-year-old freshman was indelible. I can still feel the thrill, a thrill which has been repeated many times since then.
Thus, it is an honor to write this introduction to a welcome history - The Pride of California: A Cal Band Centennial.
-Professor Emeritus Garff B. Wilson.
The University of California Marching Band is very special to its members, alumni and fans. The Cal Band is the only one of the nation's few student-run college marching bands that strives for serious, high-quality entertainment. For over 100 years, this tradition of student-run performance has served the University of California at Berkeley. This book chronicles the events and forces that created, shaped, and forged what we know as the Cal Band.
This book uses several abbreviations commonly used by the Cal Band and its alumni. The names of the Band members mentioned in the text are followed by the member's first year in the Band and the year the member was a student officer, if applicable. The student officers are abbreviated as: DM (Drum Major), SD (Student Director), SM (Senior Manager), PRD (Public Relations Director), and Sec. (Executive Secretary).
The Band's tradition of preserving its history began in 1933, when the Band's chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi presented it with a scrapbook covering the ASUC Band's first ten years. This scrapbook was updated annually until 1953, when the Band began compiling a separate scrapbook for each year. In recent years, scrapbooks have not been compiled regularly; occasionally the Band has produced a yearbook, The Pacesetter.
The Pride of California draws, in large part, on the information contained in the scrapbooks, along with the recollections of numerous Band members and friends throughout the years. Although every effort has been made to present as complete and accurate a history of the Band as possible, is inevitable that certain people and events may have been omitted.
The entire history of the Cal Band would fill many volumes the size of this book. Although we cannot include every experience and episode in the Band's history, our purpose is to give a brief glimpse of 100 years in the life of the Cal Band. More information on the Band's history can be found in the scrapbooks, files, and oral history transcripts on deposit in the University of California Archives in the Bancroft Library.
This book is a product of the Cal Band History Project, an ongoing endeavor of the Cal Band Alumni Association (CBAA) to record and preserve the history of the Cal Band. Additional information on the history of the Band, as well as any photographs, documents, or artifacts, can be sent to the CBAA to be preserved with the rest of the Band's history. It is our hope that this volume is informative , entertaining, and inspirational to all who travel to Strawberry Canyon to see and hear the Pride of California.

Marion County would have taken control of Silver Springs this week under a proposed agreement.
Marion County would have taken control of the Silver Springs attraction this week under a proposed agreement between the park's operators and county officials.
Had things fallen as some county officials and Palace Entertainment executives hoped, the swap from Palace to the county could have been completed as of Wednesday, the document indicates. That would have entailed the county assuming all of Palace's assets and liabilities — some of which had an expiration date, while others remain with the site.
The deal, which had been under wraps until two weeks ago, has now been delayed by some late-arising hiccups — the most notable of which include reservations publicly expressed by some on the County Commission.
It's unclear when the issues might be resolved.
County Commission Chairman Stan McClain said at a public meeting last week that deliberations by the board might take months. McClain also said after a more recent meeting that the California-based company has not imposed a deadline for completing the transaction.
But the agreement and a related letter from Palace's top lawyer indicate that Palace Entertainment, which has operated "nature's theme park" since 2002, is offering Marion County a "gift" — one priceless in value but also which the company has no desire to be re-gifted.
The 25-page transfer proposal offers some of the first details about the management change at the renowned springs — an issue McClain, as the county's lead negotiator, initially brought to light on Jan. 18.
County Attorney Guy Minter said in an e-mail the contract is a draft that both sides are working from. He stressed that it is not finalized and is subject to change by any of the parties.
In a Jan. 11 letter to Minter, Michael Baroni, Palace's general counsel, noted the company "is offering to hand the County a park with several hundred thousands of dollars in assets, good and pre-paid expenses, and incalculable good will — for free."
But, he also wrote, "We will not entertain any type of deal structure other than a cash-neutral, AS-IS deal, where the county agrees to assume all obligations and liabilities as of the transfer date."
In short, that meant Palace would accept responsibility for everything that occurred prior to the transfer date, while Marion County does likewise from that day forward.
Essentially, "[e]ach side is responsible for their own negligence, misconduct and illegality," Baroni added. "It's also critical that the County reasonably maintain operations, so that we keep our season pass holders happy (that's definitely in both our interests)."
Some specifics in achieving that under the transfer proposal — a copy Minter provided to the Star-Banner is dated Jan. 14 — include:
The county hiring the "approximately 100" year-round employees of the park for a minimum of 60 days after the deal is final. They will be considered "seasonal workers" by the county, with "select" employees qualifying for employment with the county;
No changes to the concert line-up, for which Palace has paid $135,000, by either side;
Retaining the Carousel and Tower Ride in place for the county to use until Dec. 31, 2011. The company will take it back after then;
Keeping the animals through the end of 2011, when Palace will relocate the ones it owns. Not at any time will the company be responsible for "any wild animals," including monkeys or alligators, that live in or around the park;
Relieving Palace of any responsibility or damages related to its reptile exhibits. Last year, Palace had been ordered by the state Department of Environmental Protection to clean up the area fouled by wastewater from 16 animal exhibits on Ross Allen Island that was discharging into a pond at the entrance of the park that subsequently flowed into a canal feeding the Silver River.
The agreement indicates that Palace would have completed construction of a "remediation" system by Dec. 31, 2010, and after that the company would not be "required to expend any sum of money in relation to water remediation." The county, though, would not be responsible for any water pollution that occured before the deal finalized.
The terms of the agreement note that Palace will pay $33,000 to "consummate the transfer" to the county.
If a deal is cut, the county intends to convert Silver Springs to a outdoor recreation site that keeps its core identity — the glass-bottomed boats and the concerts — but adds new activities such as swimming, snorkeling, diving and canoeing. Almost all of the activities would be run by private vendors who contract with the county. County officials also hope to attract scientific researchers interested in analyzing the function of the springs.
In all the transfer is completed, the county expects to spend roughly $6.3 million on the park in the current fiscal year and the following two.
So far, Commissioners McClain and Charlie Stone favor a deal, while Commissioners Mike Amsden and Carl Zalak have expressed doubts. Commissioner Kathy Bryant would sit out any final vote after declaring a conflict of interest.
Proponents of a county takeover of Silver Springs, an offer that includes the neighboring Wild Waters water park, have argued that such a move is needed to restore the facilities at Florida's oldest tourist attraction.
The draft contract specifies that all of that falls to Marion County once the deal is inked, even though the document acknowledges "there are and may be significant repairs or maintenance" required at both parks.
And while the proposal relieves Palace of any obligation for that, Baroni, the company's lawyer, did not believe there would be a problem.
"The County is welcome to come to the park and inspect it, but Palace will have nothing whatsoever to do with 'curing' anything," he wrote. "Palace has done an excellent job in maintaining the park, and we believe that the County would be blessed to have Silver Springs turned over to it in such well maintained fashion."
"Palace has spent mulit-millions of dollars on maintaining and upgrading Silver Springs in all facets of its operations; we are not agreeable to throwing even more time and money at it just to give it away."
A week after that letter, Jake Varn, a Florida lawyer representing Palace, told the commission that his client was "not trying to sell a pig in a poke" and was "amenable" to working with the county to transfer the park, if officials so desired.

Eric Foster: Top 40 Healthcare Transformers
Inspiration for change can blossom even when things have been quiet for a while. For GlaxoSmithKline, lupus presented an opportunity to shake things up by prompting patients to get more engaged with their condition though an awareness campaign. This may not seem like a big deal—awareness campaigns aren't exactly on the endangered-species list—but Foster notes that GSK was attempting to create a community around a condition for which there hadn't been "any new development or treatment" for decades.
The first iteration of the campaign, by Foster's admission, was basically "if we create it, they will come." The second attempt —the first was reframed as a "learning"—gave the team a chance to seek out patient needs, like a conversation guide, and create an environment in which they wanted to engage. "Patients are passionate," he says. "You need to believe that you make a difference and use that motivation to push for the patient."

I just started useing linux about a month ago. I used to use it when i was younger but it was to confusing for me. I'm beginning to usae it more and more as a regular operating system I must say I'm glad to hear that they are starting to do more programming for it though.
No announcement yet.
linux, the very weak system for gaming

Paid/DRM games and app stores not for everyone
Originally posted by DanLamb View PostWindows-esque installers are terrible. The Linux repo system works great for FOSS without DRM, but games need a high quality DRM capable app store repo.
Steam is a horrible choice: Steam involves lots of NDAs, Valve taking a massive cut of revenue, and Valve having huge say over product pricing and terms and promotions. That may be somewhat similar to offerings from Apple/Google/Sony/Microsoft, but in some ways Google/Apple do it better with zero NDAs and open pricing models to developers. I'd rather see the Google Play store extend to the desktop than Steam seize control.
The idealistic Linux types should build a more community friendly, quasi-open DRM app store repo service that is legally bound to idealistic principles like zero NDAs and a revenue neutral commitment to being a community service rather than a profit center, open APIs, community involvement, etc.
The true FOSS games are good enough for me, and besides, I don't want to feed a 250 watt GPU for 3-4 hours everytime I play a longer game comparable to 0ad.
Originally posted by Luke View PostI'm not opposed to the folks behind these things offering them for Linux, simply because that can reduce the market share of a paid/DRM operating system, namely Windoze. On the other hand, I'm not going to use them on my own systems. I have true FOSS games like the excellent 0ad RTS game and Scorched3d, but absolutely no paid software. I also remove Ubuntu Software center, etc to remove support for paid software entirely. I also make a point of keeping out support for DRM, but again, I don't want Netflix or Steam users going whole-hog to Windows and using a DRM operating system to go with their DRM media.

Belay's first venture started in 1995 as Bud's Warehouse, home improvement thrift store using recycled building materials donated from local builders, homeowners, and vendors. Known by many as the city's original and best home improvement thrift store, but not everyone knows Bud's stands for Building Unity and Dignity through Service, an acronym which reflects our vision and mission to help individuals with their career and life-skill development. The stores sets the stage as a job-training and employment program for individuals rebuilding lives. In addition, profits from the business are reinvested in the community by providing loans and technical assistance for entrepreneurial business startups.
Bud's Warehouse hires and trains individuals who have significant barriers to employment. Every morning before the store opens, Bud's employees and volunteers gather for on-site trainings. The Bud's Warehouse training program is designed to combine workplace experience with trainings that equip employees for transition to full-time, self-sufficient employment.
Our employees participate in a one year program and go through an individualized life skills curriculum that includes such topics as: healthy living, job development, personal finance, computer skills, and interviewing for new jobs (among others). We also do weekly one-on-one case management that covers personal and professional goal setting and transitioning into independent living.
When you shop at Bud's you directly support our mission and our employees.

Are you concerned about the health affects of climate change on your community?
This campaign is leading the way for a National Strategy on Climate, Health and Well-being for Australia.
The Climate and Health Alliance has spearheaded this campaign in collaboration with leading health stakeholders. We kicked it off in 2016 with a Discussion Paper, and since then we've held online discussion forums, conducted nation-wide surveys, drafted a Framework for the National Strategy and held roundtable discussions with parliamentarians to gather their support for a federal-level strategy that will protect and promote the health of the Australian community.
In June 2017, we released a Framework for the National Strategy on Climate, Health and Well-being for Australia.
Now, we're taking the campaign to you! Whether you work in the healthcare sector, belong to a healthcare provider or are simply inspired to be part of the action, there's plenty to do.
So watch our video, read our resources, and get involved!

A new smartphone consumer survey, sponsored by ConstantContact's SinglePlatform (n=1,497) found that 92% of mobile users have searched for a restaurant via a mobile browser and 81% though mobile apps during the past six months. Restaurants is by far the number one local search category on the PC and especially in mobile.
The survey also found that 75% of respondents said they make decisions on the basis of those search results. In addition 80% said that looking at a menu is important as part of their decision-making process. And "62% of consumers are less likely to choose a restaurant if they can't read the menu on a mobile device."
SinglePlatform syndicates restaurant menu data, among other types of local business information.
Research last year from xAd, Telmetrics and Nielsen found that 64% of restaurant searchers . . . covert either "immediately" or "within one hour."
Beyond the specific promotion of menu content in mobile, what are we to take from this data (chiefly directed toward restaurant owners)? More content is better, provided it's optimized for mobile. In addition, mobile users are very engaged and typically serious about making an-often-immediate purchasing decision, especially in the restaurants category.
There's a great deal at stake for restaurants in getting mobile right. The vast majority of them, however, have sites that don't work well in mobile. In addition they may not have claimed and enhanced their profiles on Google, Yelp and other top-tier restaurant apps/sites.

Kaleb's Frozen Kustard
Kearney's longest-operating frozen custard shop
Perhaps Wisconsin's best-kept and tastiest secret is a variety of ice cream known as fresh frozen custard. Custard has become so popular that Milwaukee probably sells more fresh frozen custard than anywhere else in the country. Milwaukee is known as the "Custard Capital of the World". Follow our story to find out how custard earned its tasty reputation.
Fresh frozen custard originated on Coney Island about 1919. Custard was first sold as a carnival treat. Because it tasted so good, with its creamier, smoother, and thicker texture from a product produced fresh daily and hand dipped, it quickly grew in popularity. In the ensuing years, custard was being sold on the boardwalk of Atlantic City along with other East Coast resort communities. By 1932, the Kirckauf family of Lafayette, Indiana discovered custard and opened their first stand in that city. This store is still in operation and is considered by most to be the oldest continuously operating custard stand in the country.

We are looking for a C++ Soap web services framework that support RPC, preferably open source. Any recommendations?
WSO2 Web Services Framework for C++ (WSO2 WSF/C++), a binding of WSO2 WSF/C into C++ is a C++ extension for consuming Web Services in C++.
Apache Axis is an open source, XML based Web service framework. It consists of a Java and a C++ implementation of the SOAP server, and various utilities and APIs for generating and deploying Web service applications.
After trying several different packages we found Axis to be the most comprehensive, easy to use lib. – Raz Oct 29 '08 at 6:58
Staff is Web Service Framework for C++ (service/component and client-side)/JavaScript(client-side) based on Apache Axis2/C.
Open-source, released with Apache License V2.0.
Try the ffead-cpp framework, it provides in-built web-service support, rest, json and many other useful features.
We are using EasySoap (http://easysoap.sourceforge.net/)
While not FOSS another library is ATL Server library from Microsoft. It is C++ template based with some proprietary attributes by Microsoft. i.e. not standard C++
Irony of that one is that just as it got dumped by msft on CPlex, Google started rolling out its own, very similar in structure.. – rama-jka toti Oct 27 '09 at 9:43
You can check out xmlbeansxx. This is a kind of lightweight, low level solution, compared to complete frameworks. This has advantages in some cases.
Invoking SOAP WebServices using xmlbeansxx Article
Code example is here: WsClient.cpp.
You could try gSOAP. Available under GPL and commercial licences.
I have used SWIG to make an interface from C++ to Java or Python and then used the typical web interface support for those languages.
Since Java and Python have reflection the web services frameworks that exist for them have a much easier time passing data around.
Threading wise if your C++ code is thread safe you can let the Java server manage the creation of threads for concurrent requests etc. and just call into your C++ code using JNI.
As a bonus you can test your C++ code from Python using these same SWIG interfaces.
I think the way to go is to write your service in C++ (I am assuming you did all the homework and there is a good reason you want to write in C++) and then front it using an RPC server. Use something like Thrift or Protobufs for a fast RPC implementation.
Now write your web frontend in the language of your choice - python would be mine - and make RPC calls to do all your heavy lifting.
POCO Remoting gives you a very simple way of creating web services in C++ by just annotating C++ class definitions with special comments and running a code generator over it. It's commercial, but delivered with full source code. A free eval version is available. Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc.
I concur with imjorge's answer and add that there's a C/C++ version of the Axis2 framework (a more flexible, extensible Axis) that does SOAP via RPC and all sorts of stuff including a bunch of the WS-* specs.
Apache axis-c: Simple to use, but seems abandoned.. not even download pages is working for several months
WSOF WSFCPP: Fast quickstart dev, both binded or no-binded implementation, based on Apache AxisC and it seems most of the current developers of Apache Axis is from WSOF company. Besides the Great potential I've detected a memory leak.
I'm currently using Gsoap and It has very good performance. Gsoap "mixed notation" between old c style and some (bad?) practices for C++ bothers me some.. but this is only code-furniture.
POCO: Is a full-feature, modern (java?) like library. It is open source software, licensed under the Boost Software License 1.0. You'll have to write some things from scrach, but with great support, utility classes and etc great library.. Innovations from c++11+ with all boost initiatives + POCO + a new Build/Dependency system more "gradle like" will certainly bring c++ to new areas of development.

Motorola Moto G4 Plus Review
The Motorola Moto G4 Plus competes in the mid-range space where a lot of outright purchase buyers are flocking.
- Good performance
- Fingerprint reader
- Dual SIM
- Quick camera
- Great battery life
Could be better
- Very plain design
- Fingerprint reader isn't the home button
- Big and slippy
- Sealed battery
Motorola's latest phone offers large size and equally large value for its asking price.
In the Android smartphone world, almost everyone has a play in the premium space, even though as a nation we tend to buy only Samsung or Apple smartphones if we're after a premium device. Motorola's latest pitch has been to leave the premium bloodbath alone and instead focus on mid-range and value segments. That's solidly where the Motorola Moto G4 Plus sits, with either 16GB or 32GB versions available for $399 and $449 outright.
|Moto 4G Plus
|Screen size
|Octa Core Snapdragon 617
|Rear camera
|Front camera
|Display density
Upsides: Why you'd want the Motorola Moto G4 Plus
Good performance: Mid-range phones should deliver mid-range performance, and here the Motorola Moto G4 Plus performs quite well, challenging higher priced mid-range options such as the Nexus 5X or Telstra Signature Premium at a lower price point. Here's how it compares against a range of mid-range and budget handset options in Geekbench 3's standard tests.
Handset Geekbench 3 Single Core (higher is better) Geekbench 3 Multi Core (higher is better) Oppo R9 867 3303 Google Nexus 5X 1188 3198 Telstra Signature Premium 745 3116 Motorola Moto G4 Plus 715 3042 Oppo R7s 696 2980 LG Stylus DAB+ 470 1418 Alcatel Go Play 453 1368 Samsung Galaxy J2 315 1044 Alcatel Pop 4 289 945
The same performance comes through in 3DMark's Ice Storm Unlimited test, where the Moto 4G Plus acquits itself well:
Handset 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited Result Oppo R9 11053 Motorola Moto G4 Plus 9757 Telstra Signature Premium 9559 Oppo R7s 8390 LG Stylus DAB+ 4321 Alcatel Pop 4 3863 Samsung Galaxy J2 3469
- Fingerprint reader: The Moto G4 Plus' front-mounted fingerprint reader works quickly and well, and it's a great inclusion on a phone at this price point if you hate having to input PINs, passwords or screen patterns all the time.
- Dual SIM: The Moto G4 Plus is dual-SIM capable with two slots plus microSD expansion. Many competing dual SIM phones allow you to add two sims but no memory expansion, or are single SIM if you need microSD.
- Quick camera: The Moto G4 Plus' camera confirms what we've thought about mid-range cameras for some time now. They're getting very good, which poses a challenge for the higher priced premium smartphones. The G4 Plus has fast focus and a simple launching mechanism that involves a double flick of the wrist that never failed us during testing. You're not likely to get truly exceptional shots with the G4 Plus, but it shoots above its price weighting for what it is.
Great battery life: The Motorola Moto G4 Plus' battery life is very good when you consider that it has to power a large screen for what is a mid-range phone. Using Geekbench's battery test with screen dimming enabled, the Motorola Moto G4 Plus beat out a host of mid-range and budget contenders, bested only by a phone with a much smaller display.
Handset Geekbench 3 Battery Test Duration Geekbench 3 Battery Score Samsung Galaxy J2 10:05:20 2689 Motorola Moto 4G Plus 9:44:10 3977 Alcatel Pop 4 9:20:30 2490 LG Stylus DAB+ 8:11:40 3278 Alcatel Go Play 7:21:10 2941 Google Nexus 5X 7:14:20 4062 Oppo R7s 7:00:00 2800 Oppo R9 6:41:50 4018 Telstra Signature Premium 5:48:50 3260 Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 5:42:00 2276 Huawei P8 Lite 4:39:40 2768
Downsides: Why you might not want the Motorola Moto G4 Plus
- Very plain design: The Motorola Moto G4 Plus isn't the worst looking phone we've seen. Indeed, the most striking thing we can say about it is that it's really rather plain; a slab of black glass and plastic with protruding camera bump on the back and ridged fingerprint sensor on the front. You won't wow anyone with the Moto G4 Plus' style, but you're not likely to offend them either.
- Fingerprint reader isn't the home button: The Moto G4 Plus uses an onscreen home button, but the fingerprint reader is right below it. On almost every other fingerprint-enabled phone, the reader in this position doubles as the home button, because that's where your fingers tend to automatically go. On many occasions, we'd hit the fingerprint reader when we wanted the home screen because of this particular design quirk.
- Big and slippy: Larger phones are harder to hold in your hand purely due to their size. The Moto G4 Plus has a somewhat slippery back and curved sides, which accentuates this. As such, if you were keen, we'd advise you to buy a case, because accidental drops feel more likely than not.
- Sealed battery: You can remove the rear cover of the Moto G4 Plus; this is how you access the SIM card and microSD card slots. What you can't do is swap the battery out, however, because it's sealed into the phone body.
Who is it best suited for? What are my other options?
The Motorola Moto G4 Plus competes in the mid-range space where a lot of outright purchase buyers are flocking. It competes really well, and is recommended if you want a larger handset, because to date we've seen little that matches up to it in specifications and outright performance at this particular price point.
You do have a lot of other choices if, for example, the Moto G4 Plus' rather plain style doesn't appeal. Consider Telstra's Signature Premium phone if you're happy on Telstra's network, or Oppo's R7s perhaps. If you want a large phone in the mid-range space, you could also consider LG's Stylus DAB+ phone.

Article by Giles Inman on Dec 19, 2016 View in browser
EMPO's tenancy agreements have been updated to include the following clause to help ensure compliance to the Immigration Act 2014
The Team at EMPO wish all our members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and look forward to working and representing you all in 2017.
Jo Tsourou, Mrs Farah Moghal, Paul Tordoff, Lionel Virdee, Adam Lawrence, Mrs Paechter, Owen Fulton
The Property Ombudsman has recently issued new guidance for Letting Agents obtaining consent from a tenant to enter a property.
"Access to a property may be required by the agent, or an authorised third party on behalf of the landlord (e.g. a surveyor, builder, tradesman etc.) for the purpose of viewing the condition, state of repair and/or to fulfil related statutory obligations and/or to carry out repairs. If your agency business holds the key but are not able to accompany that person, the tenant must be given the appropriate minimum notice of 24 hours of the appointment (unless agreed otherwise with the tenant beforehand), except in cases of genuine emergency. Therefore, an agent must provide written confirmation of their request to access the property to the tenant."
Within that written request, the tenant must be asked for their confirmation of whether or not access is acceptable.
Where a tenant does not respond to an access request and the tenant has been provided with the opportunity to respond, the agent is entitled to make the assumption that access is permitted. However, the tenant must be given the opportunity to refuse access, if they so wish. It therefore follows that express consent should, rather than must be obtained.
To view the latest versions of all the Codes, please click HERE
As a reminder to all, as announced last month, from 1 December 2016 landlords could be charged with a criminal offence if they know, or have reasonable cause to believe they are letting to an illegal immigrant. Also landlords can end a tenancy for occupants that do not have the right to rent.
This means that:
These measures demonstrate the Government's commitment to tackle illegal immigration, and its determination to take the necessary steps to protect public services and access to the private rented sector for our lawful residents.
EMPO's tenancy agreements have been updated to include the following clause to help ensure compliance to the Immigration Act 2014. Please request the updated version of the EMPO tenancy agreement with all new tenancies.
4.4.13 Ensure that all adult occupiers of the Property maintain a "Right to Rent" as defined by the Immigration Act 2014 at all times during the Term.
The regulations are available HERE
EMPO has recently submitted their response to Governments recent consultation to extend HMO licensing to all rented properties which house 5 or more tenants. An important feature to our response included the following content:
"Time and time again, with government inspired housing legislation we continue to have confusion and a landscape of lost opportunity. You would have thought with clarity and proposed regulation on bedroom sizes and the storage and disposal of waste government would want to impose the same principles on HMO license fees. Unfortunately this does not appear to be the case, government wants to continue allowing local authorities to charge landlords whatever they want for HMO licensing. So under these measures we will continue to have an arena of suspicion where landlords will believe the true cost of running local schemes do not match the extortionate fees charged. For example in the East Midlands we have Leicester and Lincoln City charging £463.00 and £500.00 respectively for a HMO licence under mandatory licensing, while Nottingham charges £980.00. This type of dubious fee charging continues to frustrate the engagement and trust between good landlords and councils."
Plans to ban criminal landlords and property agents from operating have been set out by the government over the last few days.
The banning orders would be put in place when serious offences are committed against tenants. A consultation paper is now live and is seeking views on which offences should be subject to the orders, these are likely to include the failure to carry out work required by the council, failing to ensure the health and safety of tenants and threatening tenants with violence.
Any landlord or property agent who is subject to a banning order may be prevented from letting or managing a property indefinitely, with their name also included in a national database of offenders.
Housing minister Gavin Barwell said: "Banning orders will allow us to drive out the worst offenders and help make sure millions of hard-working private tenants across the country are protected from exploitation.
"While the vast majority of landlords are responsible we are determined to tackle the minority who abuse and exploit vulnerable people."
The proposals form part of the government's commitment to improving standards within the private rented sector with the aim of helping local authorities take action against rogues who knowingly rent out substandard accommodation.
The banning orders will force offenders either to drastically improve the standard of the accommodation they rent out or to leave the sector entirely, with a minimum ban lasting 12 months and maximum bans being unlimited.
Offenders may also find themselves unable to rent or work in the housing sector with a management order giving the local authority responsibility for renting their property instead.
The banning orders follow a range of measures introduced in the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to tackle rogue landlords, including the extension of Rent Repayment Orders and civil penalties up to £30,000.
The online consultation period will run until 10 February 2017. To take part, click here.

No matter what sort of hotel you own, refurbishing your property can make a huge different in many ways. Many hoteliers undergo a range of refurbishment when it comes to their properties, and the do this for one of a variety of reasons.
Refurbishing your hotel can bring with it many benefits, and in many cases, you can recoup some of all of the money you spend on your hotel refurbishments simply through boosting the value of your hotel as a result of the work carried out. This is just one of many benefits that can come with the proper refurbishment that adds value to your hotel in some way. Some of the benefits of hotel refurbishment as part of your hotel improvement project include:
Improved quality of life
When you refurbish your hotel to enhance it, you can look forward to a greater quality of life when clients are enjoying their meals. Your quality of life can be enhanced in some ways depending on the improvements you make to the property. This could include improvements such as insulation, double glazing, improved heating systems, air conditioning, or creating more space in the home.
Increased practicality
Depending on the improvements you carry out in your hotel, you can look forward to greater practicality and functionality in your property. This could be through improvements such as a new, fitted kitchen, new counters, or a conversion to create room for meeting guest.
Improving Saleability
By refurbishing and improving your hotel, you can increase its appeal in many different ways. This means that if you decide to sell up in the future, you can increase the chances of a quick sale. This, in turn, will save you a lot of time, hassle, and inconvenience when selling your home, as it is likely to attract more viewings, more interest, and more offers.
Increasing value
With the right improvements and refurbishment, you could add significant value to your hotel, so you could end up recouping some of the money you've spent on refurbishing your home through getting more for your property if and when you decide to sell up. The amount of value that you add to your hotel can vary based on the type of improvement and refurbishment you carry out, so you should aim at conducting the kind of work that will add the most value to your hotel while also benefiting you for as long as you continue to live there.
When you refurbish your hotel, you can increase comfort levels for yourself and your clients. You can make hotel improvements that will make your time in your hotel more comfortable, easier, and more enjoyable, such as adding more space, converting a disused room, or adding a luxury guest room. With the right type of refurbishments, hoteliers will be able to reap the benefits and rewards for many years to come.

Melbourne's CBD office market could become more attractive than Sydney's, which has traditionally been the darling of global corporate tenants, thanks to cheaper rents and stronger supply levels, new research shows.
"Sydney, often considered the corporate capital and global property hub of Australia, previously benefited from disparity between both the size and quality of available office space," the Cushman and Wakefield report Sydney v Melbourne – Office Leasing wrote.
"Over a century later these two cities continue their competitive spirit, and from an office leasing perspective, the gap is beginning to narrow."
The Melbourne CBD's average prime net effective rents are $370 a square metre, while in Sydney's city centre, tenants are paying almost double the price at $720 a square metre.
Supply of offices in the harbour city are also tighter with a vacancy rate of 5.9 per cent, compared with Melbourne's 6.5 per cent.
Sydney is still preferred over Melbourne by top global financial and tech firms. Photo: Jessica Hromas
But the Victorian capital is rapidly catching up on construction. Net office supply has grown at nearly three times the rate of Sydney in the past five years – and it isn't slowing any time soon.
Over the next five years, 435,000 square metres of office space is estimated to be built in Melbourne's CBD.
In contrast, the forecast for the Sydney CBD is for an office space deficit of 15,250 square metres – a massive drop from the 150,819 square metres which was added to the market in the past five years.
That hasn't stopped tech firms from clawing for a prime spot in the heart of Sydney, with the demand for CBD office space from the technology sector in the next five years expected to be more than triple that of the finance and insurance industries.
The technology sector is dominating office space in the Sydney CBD.
Tech firms had secured about 40 leases in the Sydney CBD in the past 12 months, totalling approximately 64,000 square metres, Cushman and Wakefield research found. More than half of these leases were for spaces smaller than 500 square metres, signifying the growth of smaller tech companies and startups.
The biggest of the 40 leases was to the 17,000-square-metre Sydney Startup Hub above Wynyard train station, which the NSW Government will lease out at subsidised rates to tech startups.
The investment could go a long way for the city's innovation sector, with the number of tech employees in Melbourne's CBD trumping its NSW rival by about 3000.
Cushman and Wakefield's Chas Keogh, joint head of office leasing in Victoria, said larger tenants who occupied offices outside of the city centre were taking a "renewed interest in the CBD".
"They are gravitating from fringe areas like Richmond, Hawthorn and St Kilda Road back to the CBD for unsurpassed access to a wider talent pool and better amenities," Mr Keogh said.
His colleague Tim Courtnall, head of office leasing in NSW, said although Melbourne had seen strong market growth and has more affordable premium office rents, companies had not been moving their head offices from Sydney to Melbourne.
"Interestingly, despite the strong rental growth in Sydney's CBD, both national and global firms are focused on securing prime-grade office space in superior locations to be competitive in targeting talent," he said, adding that Sydney remains the preferred location for global financial and tier-one technology firms.

Trick-or-treating can be fun, but it sure leaves you with a lot of candy! The "good stuff" can last for a couple weeks, and the unpopular types might hang around for months!
Last Halloween-time, my friend Debbie B. (author of my Curry Soup recipe) tried something new with the leftover chocolate candies—she invented Trick-or-Treat Brownies. Debbie loved her results, so now I share her recipe (and photos) with you!
1. Chop 4 cups leftover, chocolate-based Halloween candies into small pieces (can be all of one type of candy or multiple types that you think would taste divine mixed together). Divide into 2 equal piles.
2. Prepare a recipe of your favorite brownie batter (to fit in a 9 x 13 pan).
(See below for Debbie's brownie batter recipe.)
3. Fold 2 cups chopped Halloween candies into brownie batter. Pour into pan and bake for recommended time at recommended temperature.
4. When you have about a minute of baking time left, remove brownies from oven and sprinkle the top with remaining 2 cups of chopped Halloween candies. Put in oven for ~a minute, until candies melt enough to stick to the top of the brownies. Remove from oven, cool and ENJOY!!
All done!
Debbie's Hybrid Brownies
6 Tbsp. butter (softened)
6 Tbsp. applesauce (I use unsweetened)
6 Tbsp. cocoa powder
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ¾ cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour (slightly heaping)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 shake of salt
OPTIONAL: 1 cup chocolate chips and/or 1 ½ cups chopped nuts
Melt butter, applesauce, cocoa powder and chocolate chips in saucepan (low to medium heat). Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Add flour, powder, and shake of salt. Fold in optional ingredients. Pour into greased 9" x 13" pan. Bake at 350° F for 25 minutes or until done. DO NOT OVERBAKE.

Emerging Asia Business And How It Has Achieved Success Rate:
With regards to the economy, business experts would classify the strategy and growth based on the continent wise.

In most cases, businesses in Asian continent will think about the product being placed in a group or family rather than with an individual. People in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore provide much more importance and respects over the elder people present in the family. They allow them to take any kind of decision within the family.
Impact Of Warlords in Asian Countries:
In India, people follow method of Buddhism and they understand the concept of karma being present in the previous life. Such things would not make people to take or get into bad ways. Instead, they will be doing good things to everyone around them. Fedalism is being found all over the Asian countries and this has been spread over by the warlords and other countries over them. This always brings out fear in their heart to an extent. Before starting a business from western culture, they need to keep a note of these things at the first step.

City of Bryan Sells LaSalle HotelFeatured Stories, News Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
The historic LaSalle Hotel in downtown Bryan has a new owner.
City officials Wednesday announced the sale to local developer Paul Clark's Hospitality Group.
The $2.6 million dollar sale price allows the city to pay off its current loan.
And returning the LaSalle to private hands means property tax revenue for the city, county, and school district.
The hotel was purchased in 1996 for $6 million dollars then renovated as part of downtown revitalization efforts.
The city took out a $3.2 million dollar loan that was matched by $1.1 million in historic tax credit equity and $1.7 million in bank financing.
After more than 20 years of being vacant, the 55 room hotel reopened in September 2000.
Ten years later there was a $638,000 dollar facelift, leading to a reopening in March 2010.
While the city owned the property, a private management firm was hired to operate the LaSalle. Each of the last two years, the city received more than $125,000 dollars from hotel operations.

In a Tour de France being led by a Sicilian, Sir Dave Brailsford's choice of words to describe the challenge facing his stand-in leader Richie Porte over the next fortnight may have been entirely coincidental.
Or it may have been carefully planted. Either way, it was wonderfully evocative.
"I don't think Richie's challenge is physical primarily," Team Sky's principal said on Tuesday, on the first rest day of one of the bloodiest, most unforgiving Tours in recent memory. "It is more of a mental challenge. I think that's where Richie finds himself now.
"It is easy being a No 2. It's like being the consigliere in the Mafia. They are brilliant No 2s. But can they step up and be the No 1? That is the interesting story here I think."
Porte's ability to step up and be the Don, to grab the leadership of Team Sky following Chris Froome's dramatic exit last week, could determine whether or not they leave this Tour with a third successive maillot jaune.
No one would have given the tiny Tasmanian a prayer pre-race. Porte's best result at a grand tour to date was his seventh at the Giro d'Italia back in 2010 and the 29-year-old's form this year has been patchy at best.
However, the dramatic departures, first of Froome and then of Alberto Contador on Monday, have given Porte an unprecedented opportunity. It has to be said he has grabbed it with both hands so far. Porte lies second in the general classification behind Astana's Vincenzo Nibali, trailing the Italian by 2min 23sec.
While Nibali is, Porte admits, "showing he is the strongest rider here", the Australian managed to hang on to the back of both him and Contador on the summit finish in Gérardmer last Saturday.
He was also the only rider to give chase when Nibali launched a late solo attack to win Monday's summit finish at La Planche des Belles Filles. Nor do those steep finishes particularly suit Porte, who prefers to climb less vertiginous slopes. A former triathlete with a penchant for sadistically long training rides, Porte has endurance if not explosive power.
The traditional accusation levelled against him is that he goes missing for at least one day every grand tour. Porte insists he can stay strong this time; go further into a race he believes will be decided in the Pyrenees, where Alejandro Valverde's Movistar team will be under pressure to attack Nibali given their local support. Astana will be tired of defending the yellow jersey by then, or so the theory goes. And he always has the long penultimate-day time trial up his sleeve as well.
You can see Porte growing in confidence day by day, beginning to believe. It is a quality he has not always had.
Porte recalled on Tuesday how his season had turned around at a training camp in Tenerife in April thanks to a pep talk from Brailsford. He had just been pulled from Team Sky's squad for the Giro d'Italia, where he was supposed to lead the team for the first time, and his form was horrible.
"It was at the top of one of the climbs we do; a 3km wall basically. And I think I was two minutes behind my best time. Dave took me to one side and said 'Stop bashing your head against a brick wall'. I was trying to go from a 7/10 [straight] to a 10/10."
Brailsford told Porte to relax, to believe in himself, to concentrate on making small, incremental gains. "At the next camp I was basically the same time as Chris up there. Since then I've been more professional than I've ever been. I've been doing core every morning, really watching my diet. When you have an opportunity like this you have to take it. And the Tour is the biggest opportunity of all of them."
In another nice anecdote on Tuesday, Porte recalled how, after crashing out last week, Froome went to see him to wish him well for the rest of the Tour. "The last thing he said to me was 'You can have these guys; believe that'," Porte smiled. "Sometimes Chris, as I've said before, has more belief in me than I do in myself."
Now Porte's team-mates are starting to believe in miracles, too.
Geraint Thomas – who it is understood has agreed terms on a new multiyear contract with Team Sky – said Porte had become more assertive even since last Wednesday, describing a rider far more aggressive than his diminutive 5ft 6in frame and meek exterior would suggest.
"As soon as you come over the top of a climb, everyone is fighting to be at the front and Richie lets people know he's there," Thomas said. "He shouts, leans on them a bit, gives them a bit of aggro. It's not overly aggressive, not like he's threatening to kill someone's kids. It's just that real gutsy Tazzie in him, fighting for that wheel."
It is a description backed up by Brailsford, who describes Porte as a typical Tasmanian; a devil in the Ricky Ponting mould.
"They are fighters, battlers, vocal," he said. "You know if you get into a sporting contest with them they will fight to the bitter end. They won't give up. Richie is one of those."
They are certainly talking him up. It remains to be seen whether Richie can be the Don.

Shotgun shells serve their purpose pretty well for dispatching things. But one would not make the immediate connection that they could be used for anything other than weapon ammo and certainly not for building furniture – that is until now.{ad}
Alexander Reh has created this "fully loaded" chair that is made out of 388 "once-fired" 12 gauge shotgun shells for your resting pleasure. But this is no slapped together piece of ammo laden furniture. According the Reh's website, each piece of brass from the expended shotgun shell is polished to a shine and then clear coated to prevent future tanishing. And each chair can come in six different choices of ammo shells.
Unfortunately there isn't a price listed for the chair. But if you have been looking for a gift for your post apocalypse survivalist buddy, one could not go wrong with giving this kind of chair as a present. Of course you will need to explain to them that the chair is not actually made with live ammo, just in case they think they could use it in their arsenal later.

Where your money goes
I invest a lot of time, effort and — yes, money into this project. Aside from Patreon and the rare sale of a limited edition print of my photographs, I have no other means to fund my work. Even though I have the privilege of working with amazing artists who collaborate for their faith on the project's idea and their own belief in the liberating power of the nude human body, I still have to pay for my daily expenses, transportation, food, but above all, artistic pre-production, production and post-production for every photoshoot, which is very costly and time-consuming, especially when our quality and artistic standards are high. On top of that come site hosting, domain maintenance, mobile and photographic equipment, on-set help etc etc… and that's why I couldn't do it without your support!
Please see my earnings GOALS on Patreon to get a better breakdown of how I'm applying your contribution! To make it short, having a recurrent (even if modest) income for photoshoot production allows me to make it all much better for YOU.
