About Atlanta
|Satellite view showing Atlanta, capital and most populous city of the US State of Georgia south of the Chattahoochee River in the United States. Georgia is situated north of Florida, in the southeastern part of the contiguous United States, with a coastline at the Atlantic Ocean in southeast. The capital is located in the northwestern part of the state, and about 285 mi (460 km) north west of Jacksonville and 425 mi (685 km) north east of New Orleans.
After the careful removal of Native Americans from northern Georgia in the years between 1802 and 1825, first white settlers arrived in 1822. The settlement grew and in December 1836 the state government founded Western and Atlantic Railroad, the site named Terminus was established when it became the end of the railroad line in 1837. In 1843 the name was changed to Marthasville and in 1845 to Atlanta. By 1860 more railroads had reached Atlanta and the town became a transportation hub. The town played a major role as a supply center for the Confederacy during the Civil War. A century later the city was a center of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
Today has a city population of 'just' 464,000 residents (est. 2015), but it is the core city of Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States, with a population of more than 5.7 million people.

November 2008, Part 4
Jim Miller on Politics
Pseudo-Random Thoughts
Steve McIntyre Has Been Trying to Replicate Michael Mann's Statistics: But McIntyre doesn't always enjoy trying to figure out what the famous climate scientist has been doing.
If anyone feels like sticking needles in their eyes, I'd appreciate assistance in trying to figure out Mannian verification statistics. Even when Mann posts up his code, replication is never easy since they never bothered to ensure that the frigging code works. Or maybe they checked to see that it didn't work. UC's first post on the matter wondered where the file c:\scozztemann3\newtemp\nhhinfxxxhad was. We still have no idea. This file is referred to in the horrendously written verification stats program and it may be relevant.If you read McIntyre regularly, as I do, you were probably surprised by that paragraph. McIntyre does not use that kind of language often.
What's the dispute about? Mann has, for years, tried to reconstruct past temperatures with "proxies", things that we can measure and expect to vary with temperature. In particular, Mann has used tree rings, or, if you want to be fancy, dendrochronological records. McIntyre believes that Mann has erred in his data analyses of these proxies. (This Wikipedia article describes their best known controversy.)
Statistical errors would not be surprising in this kind of work. It is unlikely that a researcher would be both a good climate scientist and a good statistician. Or, for that matter, a good climate scientist, and a good programmer.
I can follow only parts of McIntyre's discussions, so I have no settled opinion on whether he is correct in his criticisms in this post, and elsewhere. But he does seem to generally have the best of these arguments.
(Incidentally, McIntyre argues — probably correctly — that standards are tougher in the mining industry (where he made his living) than in climate science, because false claims about ore bodies can get a company into serious legal trouble.)

More Evidence That We Are Entering Another Great Depression: From the latest report on personal income.
Personal income increased $42.4 billion, or 0.3 percent, and disposable personal income (DPI) increased $45.1 billion, or 0.4 percent, in October, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased $102.8 billion, or 1.0 percent. In September, personal income increased $8.0 billion, or 0.1 percent, DPI increased $11.6 billion, or 0.1 percent, and PCE decreased $33.7 billion, or 0.3 percent, based on revised estimates.If these "declines" continue at the same rate they did last month, our personal income will be only a half trillion higher by next October.
So, we have more money to spend, but are spending less of it — which is probably a good thing — in the long run.
(More on personal income in this earlier post, along with a link to an interactive table from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.)

Paul Krugman Hasn't Gotten Over His Bush Derangement Syndrome: A better economist, and a more decent man, Greg Mankiw, corrects Krugman, gently, perhaps more gently than Krugman deserves.
Judging by this objective criterion, it looks like the two administrations [Bush and Obama] are drawing economists from roughly the same talent pool.But having that syndrome helps Krugman fit in at the New York Times. And may even have helped him win his Nobel reprimand. (In the past, as far as I can tell, the Nobel committee usually gave their awards to economists who deserved awards, but they may have decided that they would get more publicity if they started giving out reprimands, instead.)
(In his post, Krugman provides still more evidence for my joking theory that his columns, and now his posts, are written by a graduate student — who is trying to discredit Krugman. Yes, I am still joking, but the theory does explain much about Krugman's posts and columns.)

David Broder Says That Barack Obama Is "Supersmart": Here's Broder's evidence for that conclusion.
I have talked to two people on the fringe of the transition team — both members of Congress with major responsibilities in the economic area. Both have been asked for input by Obama and both say that the quality of his questions — and the follow-ups — were a measure of the depth of his knowledge of the situation.Without knowing the two people, much less the questions, I can't say much about his argument. But, on the surface, I would have to say that Broder does not make Obama sound "supersmart". It is, in fact, fairly easy to ask seemingly impressive questions, especially if you have a good staff to prepare you. (And, of course, with people jockeying for jobs in an Obama administration, we can't dismiss the possibility that these two people are flattering Obama in order to help their prospects.)
Dana Milbank listened to Obama, rather than anonymous people on the "fringe of the transition team", and was less impressed.
President-elect Obama had nearly finished his third news conference in as many days yesterday when he decided to favor his audience with one more tasty morsel of information about the just-announced members of his economic team.Even if he is "supersmart".
I suspect that Milbank's picture of Obama is closer to the truth.

"Supersmart?" Not about India and Pakistan.
Naturally, the U.S. media is following the terrorist crimes in Mumbai, India, as well they should. But, the attacks seem to be the Old Media's only interest where it concerns India and Pakistan, of late, for they've completely ignored the several mistakes that Barack Obama has already made with his attempts at foreign policy with the two embattled nations.I wouldn't call myself "supersmart", but I think I would have avoided two of those blunders. (Naming Sonal Shah to the transition team may have been a mistake by his staff, not Obama. He probably doesn't know about her connections.) Calling the president of Pakistan, but not the prime minister of India, and offering to help settle the Kashmir problem are both astonishing blunders, the kind of blunders that would make Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice wince.
Incidentally, Warren Huston says that these mistakes have been ignored by American news organizations.

Catch, Repair, And Release: That's what we have done with some terrorists. It doesn't always work out well for us, as Ann Coulter explains.
After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001, Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S. taxpayer.He doesn't appear to have been grateful for the new leg.

Another Terrorist Attack In India: One of the worst ever. And the attack is not over, if the press accounts are correct.
Britons and Americans have been taken hostage at a Bombay hotel during a terrorist attack in India which has left at least 80 people dead.More on the attacks from the New York Times, the Times of India, the London Times, and the BBC. The BBC also has a set of pictures.
(In September, I wrote about another set of attacks in India, a set that targeted the poor of New Delhi. Those attacks received little coverage outside of India. I hate to say this, but the terrorists may have learned from that experience and this time chosen targets that will be of more interest to the Western press.)

First Experiences With The Mini-Note: Yesterday, I took the HP 2133 to a local coffee house for a preliminary field test, and it passed easily. I could sit in the coffee house, surf the internet, and check my email with no problems. The keyboard and screen are good enough for light blogging. The netbook is light enough to carry almost everywhere, and looks tough enough so that I wouldn't worry too much about carrying it in a backpack, even without extra padding.
It automatically connects to all the publicly available WiFi connections I have tried, without any fuss. (I had some problems with connections at first, probably because I didn't turn on WiFi.)
It plays MP3s (and an open source equivalent, ogg files) without fuss. The sound is OK through the built-in speakers, but better through earphones. The function keys controlling volume work just as they should so you can turn up, turn down, or mute the speakers, without starting a program. When you plug in earphones, you turn off the speakers.
It displays photos well enough to be usable, though no more than that.
I've installed one upgrade, an eight gigabyte SDHC card for data storage. I thought that necessary, because there are only a few hundred megabytes of storage free on the main four gigabyte flash drive.
And, now for some negatives. It does boot slowly, about two minutes counting the time for log in. There are no installed games. It has a webcam, but there is no support for it. A hardware scan doesn't show it, and there is no software installed to use it. (Apparently, all the HP 2133s have webcams, though HP has not always been clear on this point.) There are open source webcam programs for Linux, including one called, no kidding, Cheese.
For now, the system is usuable enough so that I do not plan to replace the operating system with one more suitable for this little netbook. Partly that is because I have other, higher-priority things to do; partly that's because I would rather wait until the Ubuntu team solves the problems for me.
(Amazon is no longer offering this model at their bargain price. So, if I were still thinking of buying a netbook, I would wait until the Linux version of the Mini-Note 1000 comes out. It doesn't have as rugged construction, or as nice a screen, but it is better in other ways. And others might want to wait for HP to refresh the HP 2133 line.)

Should We Believe what Obama now says?
Barack Obama yesterday introduced his new White House budget director, Peter Orszag, vowing to conduct a "line by line" review of the federal fisc. Most incoming chief executives promise that sort of thing. But here's a detail that really caught our eye: As part of his plan to kill government programs "that have outlived their usefulness," the President-elect singled out farm subsidies for the rich.Or should we believe what he did while he was a senator?
President Bush actually sought a $200,000 annual income cap on subsidy payments, but Congress couldn't bring itself to vote on anything below $750,000. And even that got killed by the likes of Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad, who as it happens helped Mr. Orszag get his current job running the Congressional Budget Office. The Members ended up passing a $300 billion bill in which nearly every crop, from corn to sugar, won subsidy increases. Mr. Bush vetoed it in May but was overridden.For now, I will believe what he did.
If Obama actually changes course — and risks losing some farm state Democrats in 2010 — I will applaud him, but will note that he was not telling us the whole truth about farm policy during the long campaign.

Justice Sanders Is Ashamed Of His Childish Outburst: Here's part of the story, in case you missed it.
Here's the part of the story that you will not see in the Seattle Times. Justice Sanders first refused to admit that he was the heckler, and then tried to justify his childish outburst, claiming, absurdly, that he was not a heckler because he only yelled once.
That's the behavior of a man who is ashamed of what he did — but not quite ready to admit that he was wrong to do it. Parents of small children and adolescents will be familiar with the pattern, first a refusal to admit bad behavior, and then an attempt to minimize and justify the behavior. It is probably too late for Justice Sanders to grow up, but he should try, anyway.
Cross posted at Sound Politics.
(Note that the Seattle Times reporter, Ken Armstrong, did not bother to get a reaction from one of Sanders' critics.Full disclosure: I have voted for Justice Sanders in the past, and might vote for him again — depending, of course, on his opponent.)

Bad Spelers Lose Money? Apparently.
A handful of new Web sites with names like Typo Bay and Typo Buddy are out to help shoppers save money by searching eBay for misspelled brand names. Such items often have fewer bidders because they don't appear in search results for people who spell the items correctly, and therefore can be had at a cheaper price.

Jump-Start? The metaphors that politicians use have fascinated me for many years, ever since I read George Orwell's Politics and the English Language. So, when I heard that Barack Obama wanted to "jump-start" the economy, I immediately wondered what he was saying — and whether he meant what he said.
Here's a brief account, with some context:
In his second of three economic news conferences in three straight days, President-elect Barack Obama Tuesday introduced Peter Orszag as his budget director, promising to eliminate wasteful Washington spending at the same time as he seeks a massive stimulus package to "jump-start" the flailing financial world.And what we notice immediately is that Obama did not think about the metaphor he was using. As anyone who has had to jump-start a car knows, it is almost always a very simple procedure, requiring only a little time, and usually some help from another motorist.
After you have gotten the car started, you may have to invest in a new battery, or possibly an alternator, but you seldom have to do even that, and you almost never have to make any further investments.
You may think that I am being picky, but I learned from Orwell that when a man abuses a metaphor, as Obama did in his statement, he is usually not thinking clearly.
And when we look closely at what Obama said, we find more evidence for that conclusion. Obama is saying three things in that brief statement, that the economy needs a stimulus, that the stimulus should be one that has long term benefits, and that he will try to counter-balance the cost of the stimulus by cutting back on waste. Unfortunately it is hard to combine those three. If we want a fast-acting stimulus, then we have to accept some additional waste. Investments in the future are almost always poor at stimulating the economy, simply because it takes so long for them to have an effect.
Does Obama understand all this? I have seen no evidence that he does. Instead, it looks as though, by simultaneously promising us a stimulus, investment for the long term, and cuts in waste, that he is still in campaign mode, promising everything to everyone.

It Worked In Michigan: Let's try it nationally. Obama's strategy to create millions of new "green" jobs? Michigan Governor Granholm has already tried it.
Granholm and Obama have much in common: They are both young Democratic party protégés, both are charismatic personalities, and both are left-wing, Harvard-educated lawyers with little experience running anything prior to assuming office. Like Granholm, Obama appears to have little grasp of market economics, but prefers showy public-works programs and utopian visions of bridging a carbon-addicted America to a new green economy that will employ millions.On second thought, maybe it didn't really work in Michigan
The result has been a Michigan economy that has drowned under Granholm's watch, with unemployment tripling to a nation-leading 9.3 percent at the same time that Michigan's debilitating economic fundamentals — high taxes and overgenerous concessions to organized labor — have gone unaddressed. Granholm, however, has missed few opportunities for photo ops touting the companies that have benefiited from her tax handouts or her road-construction spending.Granholm is on Obama's transition team.
Henry Payne is being a little unfair when he blames Granholm for all of Michigan's economic ills, but it would also be unfair to think that she deserves none of the blame.
But Obama may be interested in different Michigan numbers than Payne is: Granholm won re-election in 2006 easily, 56-42.

Code Signing Certificate - General FAQ's
- Who needs a Code Signing ID?
Any publisher who plans to distribute code or content over the Internet or over corporate extranets risks corruption and tampering.
- How does the Comodo Code Signing solution work?
Comodo Code Signing uses authenticated digital signatures to assure the publisher details and content integrity of downloadable code.
- Is the Comodo Code Signing solution the right product for me?
Comodo Code Signing is essential if you wish to protect your reputation as an authenticated code publisher.
- Does Comodo certify the content of my code?
No. We certify that the software really comes from the publisher who signed it. We also certify that the software has not been altered or corrupted.
- Is Comodo Code Signing the right product for my business?
A Comodo Code Signing Certificate is strongly recommended for any publisher intending to distribute code or content over the Internet or over corporate extranets. Customers are aware of the dangers involved and are far more trusting of a signed download.
A Comodo Code Signing certificate is an effective way to distribute authentic software over the Internet. It is a best-of-breed product that offers full protection, ease of use and flexible.
- What is Comodo Extended Validation Code Signing certificate?
Comodo issues EV Code Signing certificate after stringent vetting process of the publisher as per CA/Browser forum and Microsoft's specifications. EV CS certificates require the private key in the form of hardware token and the PIN number to be entered while signing your code.
The files signed with EV CS certificates are established with reputation from the certificate irrespective of prior reputation of the file or the publisher at the Microsoft SmartScreen Reputation filter - meaning no unnecessary warning messages are displayed when the user downloads and opens the application.
- How long can I use my code signing certificate?
Code signing certificates are valid for between one to three years depending on your purchase choice. Providing you take advantage of the time-stamping option, all code that you signed before certificate expiry will continue to be trusted even after the certificate has expired. However, if you want to sign new software after expiry, then you will need to renew your certificate.
- Time Stamping Server - Location and usage
In order to sign your code, you pass the code which you want to authenticate through a hashing algorithm and then use your private key to sign the hash, which results in a digital signature. You then build a signature block, which contains the digital signature and the code-signing certificate. Tools like Authenticode let you time stamp the signature block based on the current date and time that a time stamping service provider, such as Comodo, provides. Finally, you bind the time stamped signature block to the original software. Now you can publish the signed software on your Web site for download.
As part of this process you will need to know the URL of Comodo's time stamping server, which is https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/68/0/time-stamping-server.
- Is timestamped code valid after a Code Signing Certificate expires?
Timestamping ensures that code will not expire when certificate expires. If your code is timestamped the digital signature is valid even though the certificate has expired. A new certificate is only necessary if you want to sign additional code. If you did not use the timestamping option during the signing, you must re-sign your code and re-send it out to your customers.
- Which utility is used to verify whether the file has been timestamped?
Use the chktrust.exe utility included with the Authenticode SDK tools to verify whether the file has been timestamped. The date and time will be displayed when the file has been timestamped. "Unknown date and time" will appear when the file has NOT been timestamped.
- Do code signing certificates last longer than 1 year?
Yes. It is now possible to purchase 2 and 3 year code signing certificates.
- Do Comodo code signing certificates support Kernel-mode signing certificate in Windows?
Yes. Our certificates support kernel mode code signing on both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista and greater and Windows Server 2008 and greater.
- Is there a limit to the amount of applications allowed to be signed with a Code Signing Certificate?
Comodo does not limit you to any specific number. You can sign as many applications with a Code Signing Certificate as you wish, provided that the applications are going to be used for and distributed by the Organization that owns the certificate.
- What settings should be enabled to allow a user to receive the certificate pop-up?
- In order to receive the Certificate pop-up when the file is downloaded, you will need to enable a setting in Internet Explorer.
- The setting can be found under: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Scroll to the bottom of the list to 'Security'
- Make sure that the following option is checked: "Check for signatures on downloaded programs".
- What type of assurance a customer obtains when downloading software signed with Authenticode?
When customer downloads software signed with Authenticode they can be assured of:
- Content Source: The software really comes from the publisher who signed it.
- Content Integrity: The software has not been altered or corrupted since it was signed.
- What will happen if a user encounters an unsigned component distributed via the Internet?
If an end user of one of these applications encounters an unsigned component distributed via the Internet, the following will occur:
- If the application's security settings are set on "High," the client application will not permit the unsigned code to load.
- If the application's security settings are set on "Medium," the client application will display a warning like this screen:
- What will happen if a user encounters a signed component distributed via the Internet?
If a user encounters a signed applet or other code, the client application will display a screen like the following:
- How do I ensure that both I and my customers have the latest Microsoft roots in my certificate store?
For Windows 8, 8.1. Windows 7 and Windows XP, everything is Automatic, meaning well over 200 Million customers will automatically have access to all the latest certificates. For older versions of the Windows operating system it is highly recommended that the latest root update is installed.Good security policy dictates that your root certificate store should have the most current root certificate references from all trusted certification authorities, thereby providing the widest capability to recognize trusted content. Install latest Microsoft root certificate patch here:

Dear Sorors:
Our Maryland Cluster Coordinators have been working very diligently to ensure the success of the 2018 AKA Day in Annapolis, which will be held Thursday, February 22, 2018, with morning and evening sessions. This day of advocacy began in 1987 as a reception to honor two Sorors Juanita Miller and Gloria G. Lawlah who had been elected as delegates to the Maryland legislature in the Fall of 1996. Our 27th North Atlantic Regional Director, Erma W. Barron was instrumental in leading the way for what we now know as the AKA Day in Annapolis. Sorors, our presence is expected and needed more than ever as advocates for those we serve in our communities. While we are grateful for the presence of over 200 Sorors in 2017, it is critical that we surpass last year's attendance. Please encourage your chapter members to attend. We are looking forward to a wonderful Day (and Night) in Annapolis.

Test Knits #YarnAlong
April was a month of completing four test knits; three of which were started in April. I've sometimes received comments such as, "How are you able to knit so much?" When Justin is napping, Charis does her math, phonics, and Spanish papers at the dining room table. During this time, I knit.
Cotton-ish and Universal Yarn Bamboo Pop. (The pattern is not yet published on Ravelry. When the designer puts the pattern up, I'll post it here.) This pattern is for a dear friend due with her first baby in November. I knit the 3-6 month size hoping it will fit the baby in Spring, around St. Patrick's Day.
I'm busy reading American Girl books to my daughter (Addy and Molly). Plus, during the month of April, I participated in the A to Z Challenge about books I like (mostly children's, but a few adult books were thrown in too.)
What's currently on your needles? Join me over at Ginny's Yarn Along.

What a pretty pile of finished knits! I also squeeze knitting in during homeschool moments but with a kindergartener this year there's not much she does independently so not much gets done then! Most of my knitting is in the evenings after they go to bed because that's about the only time all day I sit down!ReplyDelete

Scrappy, energetic, and passionate, the Aurin are a race of forest dwellers that use their inherent ferocity and agility to protect their woodland homes. Driven from their planet by the Dominion, the Aurin joined with the races of the Exiles on their journey to Nexus, hoping to find a home there—at least until they can find a way to reclaim their homeworld. Using their understanding of the natural world and their skill with manipulating primal energies, the Aurin have proved valuable allies in the untamed wilderness of Nexus. They are prepared to bare tooth and claw to defend their new home and protect it from suffering the same fate as Arboria.
Aurin first names are generally derived from Aurin root words and handed down through family lines. Aurin family surnames are more literal, and often have some historic or literal meaning to the family—the royal Everstar line, for example, was said to have originated with an ancient matria who, while lost in the forest, followed a single star on a cloudy night until she found her way home.
Examples: Myala Everstar, Darsa Windwalker, Neras Sunblade
Aurin like to employ metaphors and figures of speech that relate to the natural world. Though capable of taking mathematical measurements and making calculations, they are more likely to describe a large object as "taller than a nafflebird" rather than the more accurate, but arguably less evocative, "3.2 meters tall." That said, on Nexus Aurin often pursue the adventurous sciences of exploration, navigation, archaeology, and exobiology. As such, they sometimes speak in a more educated fashion seemingly at odds with their crafty nature.
Personality Profile
The personalities of Aurin males and females are drastically different. Males are more high-strung and hot-tempered while females are spirited and positive. Aurin are generally welcoming to visitors within their lands, but expect those visitors to respect them. Those individuals who dare to exploit or harm the forest homes of the Aurin are dealt with swiftly and violently.
The Aurin have two driving motivations on Nexus that are sometimes at odds with one another: one, to protect the life they have made for themselves on Nexus and two, to find some way to defeat the Dominion and return to Arboria.
Aurin live approx. 65-70 years, but reach maturity comparatively early around 15-17 years old.
Physical Appearance
The Aurin resemble diminutive humans with feline features, including furry tails, claws on the toes and fingertips, and large, pointed ears that rise well above their heads.
Aurins are mammalian, but unlike humans they evolved from Arborian marsupials instead of primates and have retained many traits of their tree dwelling ancestors (ie. their ears, claws, prehensile tail and reproductive cycle). Their neurological structure is however astoundingly complex which accounts for both their high intelligence and latent psychic affinity with primal Life energy, which they call the Weave. The Aurin's evolutionary path was greatly influenced by this phenomenon.
Their natural coloration is widely varied, necessitated by the multitudes of forest and jungle micro-biomes of their original habitat. While once there were hundreds of Aurin sub-species, interaction with the Weave pushed the species to inhabit specific forest locations on Arboria, causing them to become genetically homogenized. They are nominally omnivorous, yet their digestive tracts can derive all their nutritional needs from basic vegetarian sources.
Like all mammals, Aurin have two sexes, and both the mother and father donate genetic material to their offspring. Their internal reproductive organs also show some similarities to their marsupial ancestors.
The Aurin hail from Arboria, a Fringe world completely covered in a thick canopy of forests, jungles and marshes. There are six great forest types on Arboria: the Lansa (sequoia-like), the Nestri (aspen-like), the Hirn (acacia-like), the Desodar (oak-like), the Wikren (banyan-like), and the Verdune (evergreen-like).
Long ago, the Aurin were simple, tree-dwelling bipedal creatures. Over the centuries, their close connection to their tree-homes allowed the Aurin to evolve the ability to connect with specific trees, mingling their consciousness and primal life energy together to gain greater strength, focus, and awareness of the forest. In time, this led to the transformation of Aurin from feral woodland creatures into self-aware, intelligent beings.
Though Aurin had been forming bonds with trees for hundreds of years, it was Ferin Treespeaker who transformed Aurin culture by binding with an exceptionally old and massive tree. Ferin discovered this great tree had its own kind of awareness and intelligence, and responded to her questions. Not only could she now learn from the tree's vast store of knowledge, her bond also allowed her to connect with the other forests of Arboria, and thus to the matrias of all the disparate Aurin tribes.
With her newfound abilities, Ferin united the scattered Aurin communities and became the first queen, leading the Aurin into a new age of unprecedented prosperity and civilization. She named the ancient tree with which she had connected the Mother Tree, and from that day forward, all Aurin queens were chosen based on their ability to bind with it.
Their first encounter with an outside race was with Dorian Walker, who stumbled onto Arboria while pathfinding for the fleet. Soon afterwards, the entire Exile fleet visited and established friendly trade relations with the Aurin.
Unfortunately, the Dominion discovered the location of Arboria by tracking the movements of the Exile Fleet, and eventually decided to invade the planet in order to harvest its vast natural resources. Chua lead the deforesting operations and unleashed a number of monstrous Planet Reapers—massive, miles-wide machines designed to harvest a planet's natural resources both above and below ground. The Dominion quickly suppressed any Aurin attempts to stop them, driving the remaining Aurin into hiding. In desperation, the Aurin reached out to the Exiles, who managed to evacuate as many of them as possible. Led by Queen Myala Everstar, the Aurin agreed to join with the Exiles on their journey to Nexus.
Now, many Aurin settlements can be found in the forests of Nexus and some Aurin have started to think of Nexus as their home. Meanwhile, their beloved Queen Myala grows weaker every day, cut off from the ravaged forests of Arboria to which she is psychically connected through the ancient Mother Tree, adding an increased urgency to the new conflicts with the Dominion.
Aurin avoid large-scale industry and take only what is necessary for survival, though they are not averse to integrating technology where appropriate and useful. The Aurin are tolerant of the industrial enterprises of other races of the Exiles as long as they do not affect Aurin lands. The Aurin eco-terrorist group The Thorns of Arboria has been known to fiercely attack any group—even Exiles—that fails to respect those lands.
Aurin have a philosophical belief in what they call the Weave and see all life as bound within an intricate web of connections and energies. This belief ties heavily into their respect and preservation of the natural world.
Aurin communities are matriarchal and have been for as long as the Aurin can remember. Communities are led by a female called a matria, who offers motherly guidance to the community and leads cultural rituals such as marriages (called Joinings) and funerals. Aurin communities are built around the dwelling of the matria, who serves as the link between the Aurin and the surrounding forest. Other important Aurin community roles are: watchers, hunters and tenders.
Exile Humans
The Aurin respect the grit and resilience of the humans, but conflicts sometimes occur when human industrial activity affects Aurin lands.
Aurin respect the strength and fearlessness of the Granok—but often grate at their general disrespect for their natural surroundings.
Aurin appreciate how the Mordesh share in their understanding of the natural world, but are disturbed by how the Mordesh subvert nature for their own purposes, often without regard for the natural order of things.
Aurin hate the Chua above all other sentient species on the planet, given the Chua's role in deforesting their homeworld and the inherent tendency of Chua to exploit and ravage the land for profit.
Aurin recognize the pure ferocity of the Draken—but consider them no different than a rabid predator that needs to be put down.
Aurin can be uncomfortable around any mechanical beings. In the case of the Mechari who helped level Arboria's wilderness, that discomfort can be described more accurately as "hate."
Aurin view Cassians as fanatical zealots—and therefore extremely dangerous.
The Aurin found a number of common ties with the other Exile races—they too have been driven from their home by the Dominion and see Nexus as a safe haven, possibly a permanent home, and are ready to defend their right to live there. In addition, the Aurin have found a connection with the forests of Nexus and view the land as something to be revered and protected, not something to be exploited and controlled by the Dominion.
Terms used primarily by Aurin include:
An Aurin chosen to advise and act on behalf of a matria. May be male or female, and relationship with the matria may or may not be romantic in nature.
Specifically chosen by the matria, these hunters kill only the appropriate number and variety of creatures to provide the community with meat while maintaining the forest's overall health.
An elder female who leads an Aurin village. Larger communities may be led by more than one. They have reputations as oracles and truth-seers.
Ravaging, The
The Dominion invasion of Arboria, and the subsequent destruction of its forests by the Planet Reapers, is known as the Ravaging.
Generally refers specifically to the devastating Planet Reapers that have been steadily destroying Arboria's ecosytem since the Dominion invasion.
A shared volunteer role within the Aurin community—everyone serves time as a tender at some point. They maintain the health of the surrounding forest.
Followers of the ancient Oath of the Protector, these solitary Aurin roam the forest, and keep watch over it insuring that nothing harms its natural balance.
Weave, The
In Aurin philosophy all things animate and inanimate have their proper place in the Weave. Aurin strive to find their place in it. Their inherent beliefs about the preservation of nature stem from this philosophy.
Wise Ones
Particularly old trees within a forest are known as Wise Ones. They often serve to strengthen the bond between a matria and the rest of the forest.

Pistons 109, Nets 92
Greg Monroe and the Detroit Pistons were on the right side of
this blowout.
Monroe had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and the Pistons routed the
New Jersey Nets 109-92 Friday night for their fourth straight
victory. Detroit has lost seven games by at least 20 points this
season, but this equaled the team's most lopsided win.
The Pistons are on their longest winning streak since a
five-game run in December 2009.
"Our guys have a good rhythm," Detroit coach Lawrence Frank
said. "We have to continue to raise the bar, continue to do
better, but we're playing with a good rhythm and a good
Detroit (8-20) spotted the Nets seven straight points to start
the game, then answered with a 12-0 run. Jonas Jerebko scored 20
points for the Pistons and Rodney Stuckey added 19.
Johan Petro scored 16 points for New Jersey (8-20), which lost
its fifth straight.
"I didn't pay any attention to the score," Petro said. "I
just tried to work hard on both ends of the floor and get something
positive out of a bad night for the team."
After falling behind 7-0, the Pistons began asserting themselves
inside. Monroe had a pair of tip-ins to give Detroit a 12-7 lead,
and Stuckey began hurting the Nets with his ability to finish
around the basket.
Monroe finished 8 of 9 from the field and Stuckey was 7 of 10.
Detroit shot 54 percent and enjoyed a 56-32 advantage in the paint.
The Pistons led by as many as 30 in the third quarter.
"We were getting stops, and it led to easy buckets for us,"
Stuckey said. "We were getting out on the break a lot and getting
easy baskets, but mainly it was defense."
The injury-plagued Nets did get some good news when rookie
MarShon Brooks was able to play for the first time since Jan. 29.
He'd been out with a broken toe on his right foot. Brooks scored
seven points.
New Jersey was still without Brook Lopez (broken right foot),
Keith Bogans (left ankle), Damion James (right foot surgery),
Mehmet Okur (sore lower back) and DeShawn Stevenson (sore right
"We got off to a good start – we were up 7-0 – but they took
control," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "They were hitting on
every cylinder, and we didn't execute on either end."
The Pistons led 24-15 after the first quarter and 52-33 at
halftime. They didn't let up in the third. Rookie Brandon Knight
made a 3-pointer to push the lead to 28, and Monroe's dunk made it
"The Pistons have some confidence right now, and we have to get
our confidence back," Johnson said. "In games like this, that
makes a big difference."
Monroe was averaging 3.9 offensive rebounds per game coming into
the night, and the second-year big man was more than the Nets could
handle down low. He finished with five of Detroit's 15 offensive
"We probably literally ran three plays for him, and we didn't
score on any of those three," Frank said. "But he scored on
offensive rebounds, rim runs, drive-and-dishes. You just figure it
Ben Gordon contributed 14 points for the Pistons, and Knight
added 13.
New Jersey's Deron Williams and Jordan Farmar scored 14 points
NOTES: Detroit also beat New Jersey on Wednesday night in the
first game of a home-and-home. … Ben Wallace missed two free
throws in the fourth quarter. It was his first trip to the line
this season – in his 27th game. … New Jersey went 5 of 19 from
3-point range. Anthony Morrow, who entered the game shooting 44
percent from long distance, missed all five of his attempts. …
Detroit G Will Bynum played for the first time since Jan. 13. He'd
been out with a right foot problem.

Add Amazing Functionality to your Business with Open-Source Tools
In today's tough economy, companies are always looking for ways to cut cost. One of the first things that gets cut are valuable employees. In the mean time many companies and governments are spending insane amounts of money in maintenance and upgrades of software. Then when the next update comes out they spend that money all over again.
This seems backwards to me, especially with so many amazing open-source projects available today. I have put together a list of some applications that will add amazing functionality to your workplace or your new startup business, without impacting the bottom line.
Note: Some of the following applications offer two levels of their products. Projects such as SugarCRM, RT, Zenoss, OpenERP..etc offer a Enterprise edition which provides support as well as a cost. They also offer a community edition which is free and your support is up to the community (forums, mailing list.etc). If you have the money or need the support please do get it. It will go towards improving the software that everyone can benefit from.
Seems like every one is aware of the Microsoft alternative OpenOffice. Since Oracle acquired Sun (OpenOffice) the project did not move forward much. Since then the project has forked and has been taken up by The Document Foundation. Things are moving forward very quickly again under a new name (LibreOffice). LibreOffice runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. You are able to open and save in Microsoft Office format, PDF, and open standards format. So the real question is, why are you not using it?
If you are looking to start a business or just need to help improve the work-flow of your current work place, you may need an ERP system. OpenERP is a open-source ERP that runs on a webserver such as Apache. It offers a large amount of modules allowing it to fit just about any business needs.
Marketing and Design:
GIMP is a versatile graphics manipulation package. Gimp is very similar to Adobe Photoshop without the expensive cost. Gimp even seems to inspire Adobe with one of the big features in CS5 being the content aware fill feature. This has been around for quite some time in GIMP with the Resynthesize plug-in.
The Link below shows a shoot out between Adobe Photoshop and GIMP and the Content Aware fill feature.
Scribus belongs to the family of applications known as page layout programs or more commonly known as Desktop Publishing programs. Scribus gives users great flexibility in placing objects like photos, logos, text frames and shapes in the exact place where you want them. You can use Scribus to do things such as CD covers, greeting cards, company brochures, newsletters and posters. Once you finish creating your master piece Scribus allows to print your files easily at your commercial printer.
SugarCRM is a customer relationship tool that helps your business keep up with leads on potential customers. You can delegate workloads to other co-workers and get notifications through email. SugarCRM even offers amazing import options allowing you to import data from big vendors such as SalesForce.
Building A Web Presents:
You can start to build your web presents by using a reliable apache web server running some flexible CMS tools. These tools can be used to build internal web services or offer a eCommerce platform to sell your product to customers. You don't need to be a developer any more to run an amazing website.
Drupal is a very flexible and scalable content management system to run your website on. Drupal is used by a large number of websites today, even the whitehouse.gov is running on a Drupal.
When looking at content management systems Drupal was not something I favored, because it was different then what I was use to. Once giving it a fair run, I was blown away by what it could do and just how flexible it was. It provides a solid foundation from the ground up.
Joomla is another very popular content management system. It tends to be used by small to medium size sites. It is very flexibility and easy to use out of the box. There are a very large number of themes and plug-ins available which makes it a great choice for getting your website up and going.
Magento is an open-source eCommerce platform that does an amazing job integrating and adapting to ones needs.
A while back I worked for a company that ran their sites on Websphere. When we wanted to add new features and functionality to the sites we were tied up in large development time. One day we came to realize that instead of trying to recreate the wheel, we could utilize Magento's amazing and rapidly developed features to help stay ahead of the competition.
Many companies are running blogs as marketing tool, keep their customers informed and to help improve Search engine Optimization (SEO). Wordpress is a very popular and easy to use blogging platform licensed under the GPL. There are tons of free plug-ins and themes available to help you accomplish your tasks with little or no programming skills.
Information Technology:
Asterisk is popular open source telephone server. Allowing you to run a PBX, VOIP phone system. It is used by a ton of businesses around the world. Asterisk can be a bit tricky at first to install, but once up and running it will give even the big money competitors a run for their money. It also does a great job of bridging the world of VOIP and regular lines to help businesses make the transition from physical to virtual phones.
Request Tracker
RT is an enterprise-grade issue tracking system which enables thousands of organizations to intelligently and efficiently manage tasks, problems, conversations or just about anything else.
I have personally used RT as a help desk ticketing tool but it can bring so much more to the table.
Zenoss is a server and network management platform. It can notify you if business critical services go down. It provides a central location to keep you notified of error logs and systems resources such as disk-space. This help keep you on top of your network and preventing outages. If you can ping it, you can use Zenoss to help monitor it. It also works with other services such as SNMP, Nagios agents, SSH, and Windows WMI.
Clonezilla is an open-source alternative to Norton Ghost. It allows you to make an image of your computer. What this means is it makes a bit for bit copy of your operating system and all the files. You then can take the image and apply it to multiple machines or just restore your computer to the exact state of when you created the image.
Many companies will create a base image and then apply it to all the computers. This helps to insure all the computers have the same settings, software, security policies..etc. This can be a huge time and cost savings.
Clonezilla offers two solutions, Live disc and Server Edition. The Live disc is a great for working with a few machines, while the server addition allows you to manage and work with larger number images.
VirtualBox is a easy to use virtual machine software. It allows you to share resources of a computer and run multiple Operating Systems in a virtual environment. VirtualBox can run on windows, Mac and Linux so there is no excuse not to give this one a try.
VirtualBox allows you to test out new operating systems, configurations, and applications without messing up your production system.
Linux Server
What kind of article would this be if we didn't mention Linux with open-source software?
Linux servers are used all over the place, anything from file and print server to web servers. You can easily implement and run most of the applications we have already talked about on a Linux server. This allows you to get away from paying for an expensive Microsoft Server license while allowing you to play nicely with an existing Windows network.
Pick your favorite flavor of Linux such as CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian..etc and start implementing some of these amazing open-source applications. Heck even run it on VirtualBox to give it a test run!

My holiday wish this year is to not hear anyone's holiday wishes.
Newspapers play into charities' game these months toward the end of the year. Column inches are filled with heart-tugging stories and photos about poor little Billy who needs a train set and oh-so-sad Emma who wants a Barbie.
I understand this season sees more charitable donations than any others. I understand that many charities depend on it to make their budgets meet. But is it really the role of a newspaper to perpetuate this dysfunctional, cynical embarrassment?
Look, big cities (and the smaller ones, too) bulge with the needy. They stand on the street corners with shopping carts full of possessions. They wait in lines for soup. They ask pedestrians for change. And they do this 365 days a year.
I see these folks every day. In December, yes, but in January and February too. They don't just magically appear for this single 31-day span. Newspapers do them a disservice by acting as though they only exist for this. Yes, that little homeless boy would love toys this month. But he would also like to have a place to live, and food to eat, and other toys to play with, and a life worth living for the other 11 months of the year.
If those in the journalism profession want to spread the word about how their readers (and viewers) can help the less-fortunate, they should take a longer-term, more realistic approach. They should stop trying to assuage their guilt and focus on true solutions. Charities need help, of course, but their game is not ours.

Geneva: A World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) commission report has recommended suspension of Russia from all world athletics competition here on Monday.
The commission examined allegations of doping, cover-ups, and extortion in Russian athletics and also implicated the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) for failure to address these pressing issues.
The commission also wants five athletes and five coaches to get lifetime doping bans.
The report also said there were "systemic failures" in the IAAF that prevented an "effective" anti-doping program.
"We communicated the report to WADA last Thursday," Dick Pound, the chairman of the commission and former WADA boss, was quoted as saying by BBC.
The report was "essentially limited to Russia and athletics", he added.
"We have provided WADA with sanction packages on individuals who had not been previously identified, identified possible criminal incidents, made findings and recommendations on the Russian laboratory, reported on interference with doping controls up to and including this year, and found cover-ups and payments of money to conceal doping tests," Pound was quoted as saying by the BBC.
"Since Russia is the particular country involved in the matter investigated, it is appropriate to say the commission organised a special meeting with the Russian minister of sport. He invited the commission to make recommendations that would allow Russia to contribute (to making Russia) a non-doping country."
"We advised the minister in advance he would not be pleased with the recommendations. He is going to have to live with that. We hope that Russia will take a lead (now)," he added.
The report said that the London 2012 Olympics were "sabotaged" by the "widespread inaction" by the IAAF and the Russian athletics federation against Russian athletes who had suspicious doping profiles.
"The IC (independent commission) has noted a cumulative lapse of action from the IAAF, Russian athletics federation (ARAF) and Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) in conjunction with pursuing suspicious profiles," the report stated.
Following the damning report, IAAF president Sebastian Coe sought approval from his fellow IAAF council members to consider sanctions against the Russian athletics federation.
"The information in WADA's Independent Commissions Report is alarming. We need time to properly digest and understand the detailed findings included in the report. However, I have urged the Council to start the process of considering sanctions against ARAF. This step has not been taken lightly," Coe said in a statement on Monday.
"Our athletes, partners and fans have my total assurance that where there are failures in our governance or our anti-doping programmes we will fix them. We will do whatever it takes to protect the clean athletes and rebuild trust in our sport. The IAAF will continue to offer the police authorities our full co-operation into their ongoing investigation."
World police body Interpol also announced on Monday its plans of co-ordinating a global investigation led by France into the alleged international corruption scam involving sports officials as well as athletes suspected of a doping cover-up.
In another development, former IAAF president Lamine Diack should have his honorary membership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended in the wake of his arrest on corruption charges, the IOC said on Monday.

On 22 June 1994 Andrés Escobar scored an own goal in a World Cup group match between the United States and Colombia when in the 34th minute he deflected a cross from the former Derby and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder John Harkes into his own net. The US added a second a few minutes into the second half when Earnie Stewart capped off a fine move with a delicate finish. Colombian striker Adolfo Valencia restored some pride a minute from time but the match ended 2-1 and Colombia were subsequently eliminated from the tournament, despite defeating Switzerland in their last group match.
Nothing remarkable there; every four years a number of nations depart from the World Cup earlier than they perhaps envisaged and fans have to deal with the disappointment. In Colombia however that disappointment was more palpable than most. Pele himself had said pre-tournament that Colombia, inspired by the great Carlos Valderrama, could go all the way and win it that year, but it wasn't to be.
On July 2nd, ten days after he had diverted the ball past his own goalkeeper in Los Angeles, Escobar was murdered in cold blood after being shot twelve times in the parking lot of a nightclub in his hometown of Medellín.
Humberto Muñoz, a bodyguard and driver for leading members of a Colombian drug cartel, was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged with murder. He confessed and was eventually given a 43-year sentence – but he was freed in 2005 for good behavior.
In the immediate aftermath of the murder the media were quickly speculating that the shooting was in retribution for Escobar's own goal, including theories that he had been targeted by drug lords or gambling syndicates who had bet heavily on Colombia at the World Cup.
Most people believe that Muñoz was merely a hired gun and say it was cartel leaders who ordered the hit. Others believe the murder was merely a reflection of the lawlessness that gripped Colombia back then. We may never know for sure, but for Colombia, a country plagued by decades of guerrilla conflict fueled by drug trafficking, the killing stands out as one of the nation's moments of ignominy.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal the 50 year-old brother of Escobar revealed his anguish; "My brother was a respectful, honest man," Santiago Escobar said. "He left a great memory, a great mark on Colombia, and we will commemorate him on July 2nd this year, as we do every year."
The death of Andrés Escobar was a traumatic one, not just for his family but for the nation as a whole. But it may well have been the catalyst for some degree of change.
Thankfully things have improved greatly in Colombia over the last 20 years and, while many of the issues that plagued the country in 1994 still remain, it is no longer the anarchic hotbed of violence and corruption it perhaps was.
As the 20th anniversary of his murder arrives this week the memory of Andrés Escobar will never be forgotten, but the country is fighting hard to overcome its reputation and as Colombia prepare to take on the hosts Brazil on Friday in the quarter finals of the World Cup, perhaps a new, more positive image can start to be cultivated for this beautiful and passionate land.

L No. 110-161, 121 Stat. 1844, 2029-30 (2008)), the protester is not an interested party under an analysis of this statute either. The start date of this procurement preceded enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act as well.

The Supreme Court has issued an interim stay order against the Bar Council of India's attempt to introduce an upper age limit for LLB admissions to state law colleges and Universities, while making it clear that no age limits can apply to aspirants seeking to study law in the country. The verdict comes after months of protracted legal battles between the BCI and numerous petitioners across India rendered ineligible for major law examinations such as CLAT due to the age cap.
Speaking to Careers360, Advocate Sushmita Mukherji stated that the news has made her and all other petitioners "extremely happy". In February, Advocate Mukherji had won a case on behalf of 70 petitioners challenging the upper age limit in the Allahabad High Court. However, the High Court bench had also clarified that with the matter pending in the Supreme Court, the order would only stand subject to the latter's final decision. With the apex court finally passing its verdict, the Allahabad High Court's verdict on removing the age bar also stands. "We were looking forward to this for a long time. The age limit revocation brings justice to every aspiring law student," Advocate Mukherji said.
Earlier on March 1, the Bar Council of India had held its annual general body meeting in Kolkata and passed a resolution which increased the upper age limit for law aspirants from 20 to 22 years for Five Year Integrated law programmes and from 30 years to 45 years for Three Year LLB programmes. This had been done on the basis of a recommendation made by the Supreme Court in the previous hearing held on February 28, wherein it had directed the BCI to "take a good decision…take such a decision so that no one should come to court."
However, even the BCI's attempt to increase the age limit was not welcomed by law aspirants, with many asking for LLB age limits to be removed altogether. As per reports, the Supreme Court's two member Bench comprising Justice SA Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao concurred with this view in the final hearing, remarking to the BCI, "On one hand you promote legal education, and on the other, you prescribe age limits". The stay order also means that the three petitioners who had originally filed the petition in the Supreme Court, engineering student Rishabh Duggal, commerce student Rishabh Arora and the orphaned Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access (IDIA) scholar Michael Sam, are now eligible to appear for CLAT 2017 and other law exams in the coming year.
Responding to the SC verdict, Dr. A. Laxminath, the Vice Chancellor of Chanakya National Law University and the CLAT 2017 Convener, said, "We will be happy to abide by the Supreme Court's order. As soon as we receive the official order document, the age criteria for CLAT 2017 will be deleted from the prospectus".
The Supreme Court clarified that this is an interim order and will stay the age limit notification issued by the BCI in September 2016. The case will be heard out in full in July 2017 before a final verdict is passed. Aspirants who were disbarred from attempting any LLB exam of their choice due to the age limit rule are unlikely to care for this technicality and will be relieved that the final verdict has gone in their favor after years of confusing verdicts passed by various High Courts. Apart from upholding the Allahabad High Court's order, the SC verdict will now also apply to orders passed in favor of the petitioners at the Rajasthan and Bombay High Courts in the past two months.
The LLB age limit criteria was first introduced by the BCI in 2008 and has followed a controversial trajectory ever since. The rule had already been challenged and revoked as per the orders passed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Bombay High Court and the Rajasthan High Court. However, the BCI had been required to reintroduce it after the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court ruled in 2015 that the BCI would be violating the Advocate's Act, 1961 by withdrawing the age limit. This order was later upheld by the Supreme Court in the same year, leading to the BCI issuing its September 2016 notification and kicking off another legal battle. The SC verdict issued today brings this chapter to a close for now.

Pepsi is a cola that is sold in both cans and plastic bottles. The two standard bottle sizes sold in the United States as of 2014 are the 20-ounce size and the 2-liter size.
According to PepsiCo, during the Great Depression, a 6-ounce bottle of Pepsi sold for 5 cents. Pepsi made the switch from glass bottles to plastic in 1970 in response to customers' demand for a more lightweight bottle. In 2013, PepsiCo released a statement announcing that Pepsi would be adopting a completely plant-based, renewable PET plastic for its bottles in an effort to reduce the company's carbon footprint. According to MyFitnessPal.com, a 20-ounce bottle of regular Pepsi contains 250 calories.

Sending iOS in-app messages
Mixpanel allows you to create and send richer messages that appear while your iOS app is running. If you are using our in-app messages product, there are 3 things you need to make sure of.
- Include the latest version of the Mixpanel iOS library in your app
- Make sure you are identifying your users in the app.
- Create an in-app message on the Messages tab of the Mixpanel website.
IntegrationThe Mixpanel iOS library will automatically check for a message when your app loads or resumes from the background. If a message is available for the current user that they haven't already seen, it will be displayed immediately in an overlay view.
That's it, you're done!
Controlling when to show an in-app message
You may not want the messages to show immediately when your app loads. If, for example,
you have a game and would like to show a message when a user accomplishes a goal,
you need to turn off the automatic showing of messages by setting
NO and call showNotificationWithID:
at the appropriate point in your app.
// In application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
Mixpanel *mixpanel = [Mixpanel sharedInstanceWithToken:
// Turn this off so the message doesn't pop up automatically.
mixpanel.showNotificationOnActive = NO;
- (void)playerFinishedLevel
[mixpanel showNotificationWithID:INAPP_NOTIFICATION_ID];
If you don't want to specify the message ID, you can use showNotification instead, which will show the first available in-app message targeted at the identified user if there is one. Messages are never shown twice to the same user, so you don't have to check for yourself if the user already saw the message before calling showNotificationWithID.
If you don't want mixpanel checking for new in-app messages when your app becomes active, you
can turn it off by setting checkForNotificationsOnActive to
NO. This means that in-app messages will not
show automatically, and that the network request to retrieve the messages will occur only
when you call showNotification
or showNotificationWithID:
Adjusting the timing of mini messages
By default, a mini in-app message will display for 6 seconds before automatically dismissing itself. This number can be easily adjusted with the miniNotificationPresentationTime property.
// In application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
Mixpanel *mixpanel = [Mixpanel sharedInstanceWithToken:
// Give users more time to see the message.
mixpanel.miniNotificationPresentationTime = 10.0;
Takeover (fullscreen) messages will only dismiss themselves in response to a user action and have no "duration".
Using profile properties
Just like emails, in-app messages will replace content wrapped in
{{}}. For example, if you add a
Location property to your user profiles, you can send messages like this:
Come and visit us at our {{ ${Location} }} office!
A user with a profile property Location: Asheville will get the following message:
Come and visit us at our {{ ${Location} | fallback:"nearest" }} office!
Profiles without a
Location property will receive this message:

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who campaigned and won on a promise to kill the $133 million streetcar project, cracked open to the door to a deal with streetcar supporters that could allow the project to go forward.
In a city hall press conference this morning, Cranley said he would work with streetcar supporters to find institutions or foundations in the private sector to pay the approximately $80 million it would take to maintain and operate the system.
It is not something the city can do without private help, Cranley said.
"I believe this community can't afford to take on new liabilities that will last forever,'' Cranley said.
Cranley said he met last night with leaders of We Believe in Cincinnati, a pro-streetcar group that is circulating petitions to put a streetcar amendment on the ballot. Cranley said he told them he would work with them to find private sector money to guarantee the operating costs.
It opened the door to the possibility of the 3.6 mile streetcar project going forward, but it is a door that could be slammed shut a week from today.
The Federal Transportation Administration has given city council until Dec. 19 to decide whether or not it intends to go forward or the federal government will pull its $45 million from the project.
"It is obviously a huge hurdle to pull this together in seven days,'' Cranley said. "It may not be possible."
Cranley said he would not be "angry or upset if the private sector said no. I wouldn't blame them." But he said the city would be willing to take on the capital costs of building the streetcar if the private sector is willing to take on operations and maintenance costs.
Cranley was surrounded at the press conference by officers of the unions representing city workers.
Cranley said the city could not absorb the $3.5 to $4.5 million annual cost of operating and maintaining the streetcar system without doing harm to basic services like fire, police, and public works.
The city has a "structurally unbalanced budget" that must be fixed; and the city can't take on additional liabilities such as running a streetcar.
"Ninety-nine percent of what we do in the city is deliver basic services,'' Cranley said.
Cranley said that streetcar supporters asked him if he could influence the federal government to extend the Dec. 19 deadline, perhaps to the end of the month. Cranley said he plans to talk to federal transportation officials today, but could offer no guarantees they would go along with an extension.
The mayor also said he had talks with officials from the Haile Foundation, a private foundation that has spent millions on civic projects; and has been a major backer of the Smale Riverfront Park and the Music Hall renovation. But he said he had no commitment from the foundation to help with the streetcar costs.
A new councilman, Charterite Kevin Flynn, joined Cranley at the press conference and said he would work with streetcar supporters to come up with private financing for the operating and maintenance costs.
"If we can shift the cost of running this from the operating budget, this may be the win-win that everyone is looking for,'' Flynn said.
Last week, a council majority – including Flynn – voted to halt spending and work on the streetcar project until a cost analysis could be done. Council members Flynn and David Mann said they supported halting the project until they had solid numbers showing that it would cost more to shut it down than to continue.
Representatives of We Believe in Cincinnati could not be reached for comment immediately.
But council member Yvette Simpson listened to the Cranley press conference from the back of the room.
Afterwards, Simpson told reporters that "coming up with a guarantee of $80 million is very difficult."
But, she said, "we are moving the ball. There are a lot of private sector people who want this to happen."
But it will be "tough to get them to take on all the risk,'' Simpson said. "You are going to have to give them something."
Simpson said she would continue her own talks with the Haile Foundation and others in the private sector to find the money to operate the system."

Savile investigator: Take down Adam Johnson support Facebook page
THE TV investigator who exposed Jimmy Savile wants Facebook to ban a page supporting sex abuser Adam Johnson.
Mark Williams-Thomas is appalled by the abuse hurled at the footballer's 15-year-old victim on the site.
Supporters of the former England star, who was jailed for six years for kissing, grooming and groping the schoolgirl fan, continue to post messages attacking the teen.
She has been branded a "slag" and "whore" on the page, which is run by the former Sunderland player's sister Faye.
"The attitudes of people commenting on this page that just goes to reinforce how Jimmy Savile…got away with it"Mark Williams-Thomas, criminologist
Criminologist Mr Williams-Thomas, whose TV documentary famously outed Savile as a paedophile after his death, said the web page contained "some very worrying views".
He added: "It is the attitudes of people commenting on this page that just goes to reinforce how Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall and offenders in Rotherham were able to get away with offending for so long.''
Facebook bosses have told Mr Williams-Thomas they are monitoring the page but, although some comments are "unpleasant", it does not currently breach regulations.

New England's energy prices are already sky-high. Households in our region pay on average $400 more annually for heating and electricity compared to the rest of the nation.
All told, our region paid an extra $7.5 billion over the last three winters because of higher energy costs caused by inadequate energy infrastructure. This is money taken away from our communities, small businesses, and family budgets.
Energy will continue to become more expensive, hurting households and our regional economy—unless we start expanding our energy infrastructure now.
Currently, New England is on a disastrous path when it comes to energy costs. In the coming years, businesses, industrial users, and especially households will pay billions of dollars in unneeded, wasteful costs because energy cannot affordably reach us.
Failing to expand the region's energy infrastructure will cost New England households and businesses $5.4 billion in higher energy costs (in 2014 dollars) between 2016 and 2020. The $5.4 billion in added costs will ramp up from 2016 through 2020, increasing the region's electricity and natural gas costs by 9 percent in 2020 according to forecasted energy demand and costs. Similar or larger impacts can be expected beyond 2020 if infrastructure is not added as demands for natural gas and renewable electricity increase.
New England must build energy infrastructure. All types of energy infrastructure are important, but natural gas pipelines are essential. Today, 40% of our region's electricity is generated by natural gas, and our pipeline infrastructure cannot meet our needs.
