It was a tough week for Fresno's music scene. Here are two we lost
For most of last week, it was sad news for followers of Fresno's music scene, as social media pages filled up with memorials to two well-known performers.
The first was Geoff Thurman, who died Jan. 12 after being hospitalized for an emergency surgery. He was 59.
That news was followed quickly by the death of Jonathan Mahaffey. The singer and guitarist (also 59) was found behind a Round Table Pizza in northeast Fresno on Jan. 17. The city's police department said he had been shot and is investigating his death.
Mahaffey graduated from Hoover High School and became a part of Fresno's rock scene in the late 1970s with his band The Roids. Over the years, he became known mostly as a solo artist, writing and recording raspy-voiced blues tunes and performing at bars and clubs around town.
"There was a built-in charisma in his music," said Central Valley Blues Society president Don Heflin. He remembers meeting Mahaffey as teenager at a concert at Roeding Park. Years later, they played together in The Roids.
Heflin counts his work with Mahaffey as some of the best of his career.
Mahaffey was not without his demons, Heflin said. While the two remained friends after the Roids, Mahaffey floated in and out of Heflin's life, often inviting him to lengthy recording sessions – some lasted as long as 24 hours – then disappearing for a month at a time.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help Mahaffey's family with funeral expenses. A memorial is being planned for next month, Heflin says.
Thurman was comparatively new to Fresno.
He moved here in 2011 from Nashville, where he had worked as a record producer and songwriter, alongside artists like Amy Grant (he also accompanied Ricky Skaggs at The Ryman Auditorium, if you need evidence of his cred).
Thurman was eager to become part of the local scene, said Michael Keeney Sr., who remembers getting multiple calls from the musician asking for a spot on one of Keeney's infamous showcase concerts. He agreed to let Thurman play in between sets.
"He blew everybody away," Keeney says. Thurman became a staple at the Keeney Nation concerts and put together a seven-piece jazz/pop jam band that gigged around town.
He also became an adoptive member of the Keeney family.
And he stayed that way.
"I've had 17 surgeries over the last three years," Keeney said.
"After every one of them, Geoff was there in the room when I woke up."
A songwriter memorial will be held for Thurman 1 p.m. Feb. 11 at K-Jewel Art Gallery in the One Putt building downtown. A second tribute will be held Feb. 18 at Fulton 55. That will be the "loud one," Keeney says.
A third memorial will be held in Nashville on Feb. 24, according to a Facebook post from Thurman's family.

You've designed and redesigned, and waited patiently as your planning details were displayed on a lamp post on your street, for any neighbours to register their disputes and finally the building of your new extension has begun.
But how precisely are your contractors building to your plans? Disputes with neighbours arguing that your extension is just three inches bigger or on their land slightly can lead to expensive and disastrous consequences.
If neighbours believe, report and win a battle over your extension, no matter how small the misinterpretation of the plans, could lead to you being ordered to knock down and rebuild your extension, at your expense.
The moral of the storey - build what you have planning permission for and do not think you can add a little here and a little there and no one will notice!

>Last year (2010) I performed alongside Comrade Fatso, Outspoken and Zubz (SA) as part of an explosive set backed by the amazing Chabvondoka band. I also took part in the Hivos poetry cafe sessions (alongside Phillippa Yaa De Villiers and Richard Brown) hosted by Chirikure Chirikure - who recently had some of his poems anthologized in Chinese among other African greats and the occassional upstart such as myself thrown in for good measure in the book No Serenity Here.

For many years, franchise companies have been exporting their brands to countries all over the world. In the last 20 years a number of international brands have made South Africa home.
Related: Expansion Readiness
This is an exciting business dynamic, as it gives franchisees a fantastic way to take advantage of business concepts that may not exist in the domestic market or that have a unique twist. That said, this dynamic also raises a number of questions in the minds of many prospective franchisees.
"How safe is investing with a foreign-based franchise?"
The franchise must provide you with a full and audited disclosure document. Use the Internet to find out information about any company anywhere in the world.
Most prospective franchisees don't find any significant difference in the research process of a foreign-based franchise company compared to any other, so the fact that they are foreign-based should not, in and of itself, affect your risk in a negative way.
"What corporate structure do foreign-based franchises typically use?"
Most successful international franchising uses a master licensing arrangement. In this scenario, the franchisor finds a domestic partner that they contractually agree will develop the franchise in the selected country. In the case of foreign-based franchises, this is the most typical structure we see.
The foreign-based company will research the franchise business in South Africa, then interview and select a master licensee that will own and control the franchise rights in this market.
The foreign-based company may own some percentage of this entity or may simply require the entity to pay it fixed or variable fees in exchange for the development rights. The most common alternative to this structure is for the foreign-based company to create a wholly-owned subsidiary in the new country and then hire local employees to run the operation.
"What extra research do I need to do?"
It's always a good idea to check out the track record of any franchise company in relation to its past results. In the case of foreign-based franchises, you effectively have two companies you should research: The local master licensee and the foreign-based main franchise company.
You also need to know that they are strong enough financially to last and support your efforts in the long-term.
In relation to the foreign-based franchise company, you may want to gather additional information about the franchisor's operations in other foreign countries to see how well they follow the standards and values of other established franchises here.
"What if I am the first local franchisee?"
There's an old adage used in relation to smart money investing in franchises: "When in doubt, send a scout." The simple fact is that being the first franchisee, or even part of the first group of franchisees, in any system under any circumstances always involves far more risk than waiting until later.
Related: A Model Franchise
No matter how much experience a franchisor has elsewhere, each country they go into is different. Until they are tested in the real world, the company simply doesn't know how well their operating systems, marketing, training and brand are going to work. If you do decide to be a test subject for them, one advantage you may have relates to bargaining power.
The very least you should do is negotiate for some form of an early bird discount of costs, such as the initial franchise fee. This approach will help you, but it still doesn't change the fact that you will be entering the business with a fair degree of uncertainty.
"What are the red flags I should be on the lookout for with a foreign-based franchise company?"
There is really just one, and that involves the transition of their opportunity into a different culture. Make sure you have taken this into consideration prior to making any investment.
If the company has not been operating in the domestic market long enough to prove the effectiveness of its concept, you have exactly the same risk as with any other start-up franchise and you should therefore be cautious.
One final piece of advice: When in doubt about anything, ask the franchisor. Don't be bashful about this, since they have probably been asked the same thing by many others before you and should have the answers to your tough questions all ready to go. Research thoroughly, take the time to do this properly and you should be fine.

Automotive manufacturing companies have to address their working at height safety issues and ensure a method of safe working.
General Motors had to implement a multi-purpose scaffolding work platform system that must meet OSHA and GM's strict safety regulations.
Traditional scaffolding is too heavy and cumbersome, while aluminium towers do not always meet the plant safety rules and does not fit where access is needed. GM Safety Engineers need to ensure that any new product of this type, being used at the plant must be fit for purpose and safe.
The safety issue was the most important and LOBO Systems had to prove that when assembled correctly no one was exposed to the risk of a fall.
LOBO Systems was able to provide a method of assembly which met this criteria and was delivered through a custom developed training program.
During the demonstration and proof of concept process LOBO Systems was able to prove that by attaching a handrail from a lower level, before it was technically needed, a safe system could be built.
This procedure was successful with other international automotive manufactures namely Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Mercedes Benz.
This unique versatility of the LOBO System brings a safe working procedure to GM's Safety Policy, which not only meets OSHA & HSE requirements, but also meets GM's tough safety policy. The use of a body harness in this instance could now also be revisited and under certain conditions relaxed completely.
The LOBO System also brings cost reduction, enhanced efficiency & performance as maintenance crews can build their own platforms at any time if the day or night.
The LOBO Systems unique and patented clamp allows the system to be assembled with out the use of tools into any size or shape. This allows GM maintenance crews to attach a handrail at any point on the system. Therefore personnel are not exposed to the risk of a fall during assembly.

(Question) How much would I be looking at paying for a down payment on a home?
(Answer) There's three different types of loans. There's a FHA loan, there's a VA loan, and there's a conventional loan. The FHA loan is typically more towards first-time home buyers and it requires about 3.5% down of the purchase price. Then the VA loan has nothing down, there's zero down, but you do have closing costs. The conventional loan can be 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, whatever you want down plus closing costs so it'll vary from loan type to loan type.
(Question) So as a newly married guy looking for my first home, I'm not part of the VA or anything like that is there any kind of assistance I could receive with my down payment?
(Answer) There are programs that are out there in Colorado Springs. There's a CHFA program where you get a grant or assistance for your down payment. Closing costs on the other hand are still separate and that's something that you have to think about because many times you'll have, for example, a $200,000 home and you'll have your down payment but you also have closing costs. The closing costs represent approximately 2.5% of the loan amount. Whatever you're putting down you subtract that down payment out, then you get your loan amount, and you come up approximately that. Online services and online mortgage calculators are wonderful for superficial information. I strongly recommend getting a good, local, reputable lender and sit down with them and have them counsel you on what you're doing and never have somebody sell you on something. It should be someone that's guiding you to what your comfort range is, NOT what your qualification range is. One is comfortable and one is right at the max of what you can do.

Athletic Director Mike Garrett says his declining Wednesday to comment on Coach John Robinson's conditional offer to step aside should not be interpreted as an indicator of Robinson's status.
"There are a lot of rumors being tossed around out there about the USC football team and John Robinson, but it's not appropriate to respond to rumors," he said in a statement Thursday.
"But I can say this: At USC we are happy when we win and we are upset when we lose, and that includes everyone in Heritage Hall, from the coaches and administration on down.
"Our policy at USC has always been that we wait until the end of the playing season before evaluating a sports program. That policy hasn't changed in regards to the football team. We have two important games coming up that we are trying hard to win and if we win those, we could go to a bowl game."

The evolution of cars going forward
In the evolution of cars up to now, the key words have been dynamic performance and safety. In the evolution of cars going forward the key word "connect" will be added.
In the same way that "smart phones" were created by connecting phones to the Internet, connecting cars to the Internet will create a new user experience that is impossible with traditional cars. NTT DATA MSE has been developing cellular phones and smart phones, providing users with new value for many years. We lead the field in IoT in the field of automotives as well, providing users with new value.
By utilizing IT, we can expect further developments in the fields of automobiles and transportation.
Having cars always connected to the Internet will achieve a "connected car", and cars will become even safer and more comfortable vehicles.
Furthermore, by installing busses with communication modules and linking them with the bus driving management systems, services which will increase the operating efficiency and convenience of public transportation facilities such as by notifying bus riders waiting at bus stops of the next bus's arrival time and reviewing bus schedules based on lateness data are receiving attention.
We create "new value" in the fields of automobiles and transportation

Leaning in seems to come naturally to Sallie Krawcheck, who led the wealth management units of Citi Smith Barney and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch before starting a group of female professionals, Ellevate Network, and its associated firm, Ellevate Asset Management – both of which she now chairs.
When she was new to her job as a research analyst at Sanford Bernstein (back in the 1990s), Krawcheck was told "that Wall Street was the only industry in the world in which one could become wealthy by simply being mediocre and essentially hiding in the pack," she explained recently in a blog.
Krawcheck had just drafted a critical, bearish report on AIG. What to do?
"I can't really articulate why, but I published that negative research without changing a single word. It wasn't really that I was so sure the research was right; after all, I was brand new to the industry. But I do remember reminding myself that American General wasn't my client," she wrote. "Instead my clients were the masses of faceless investors out there, most of whom I would never meet. And my job was to give them the best advice I could […], even if it was advice they might not want to hear."
Her research was spot on, and Krawcheck's Wall Street career took off. "With this insight, as I moved into a leadership position, our strategy at Bernstein evolved to one that fully focused on the investing client, and that eradicated conflicts of interest," she stated.
The experience taught the budding executive that "staying in the pack might have been the safe play, but it wasn't the right play," Krawcheck added.
These days, the Wall Street veteran is adamant about the importance of women in management and for the long-term health of the financial industry. "What if I told you there's a potential client base that holds a majority of wealth in this country, represents 45% of U.S. millionaires and will inherit 70% of the $41 trillion that enters generational wealth transfer over the next 40 years?" she told an audience of investment management consultants earlier this year
"Women are […] underserved," Krawcheck said. The industry is "going to have to think differently if we want to attract and approach and engage with this enormous market." (According to Ellevate Network and Pax Ellevate, women control about $20 trillion in investment dollars and represent some 9% of the world's billionaires.)
Krawcheck doesn't shy away from reminding executive across a variety of industries that they need to focus on this untapped market and this untapped source of talent – and they need to do it with respect.
Last fall, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said women shouldn't ask for a raise and instead should rely on "karma." These remarks, which Nadella later retracted, were made right before Krawcheck addressed attendees of the 2014 Raymond James Women's Symposium.
"I'm beside myself," she said. "That's what got us where we are, earning 78 cents on the dollar [earned by a man]. There's the karma."
Before she spoke to the crowd of female advisors, Krawcheck said on Twitter that asking for a raise is "the highest return investment [a woman] can make." This is because, when it comes to "the net present value of your future earnings, your best asset is yourself," Krawcheck noted in her speech.
Many women retire with just two-thirds the wealth of men, and this means advisors should "talk to them about asking for a raise," she added. "Advise [them] on finances, not just stocks and bonds, [and get them] to ask for the money."
In her varied work today, she shares what she learned from her ups and downs on Wall Street, and a key lesson is resilience. Losing one or two high-profile jobs, for instance, can knock you down and keep you down. "Or you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and go on to have an even more interesting, exciting and engaging career," she said in a recent interview.
Krawcheck also advocates innovation. She has been on the board of 2U, a platform for online learning, since April 2014. In addition, she served as a director of BlackRock from 2009 to 2011 and Dell from 2006 to 2009.
When asked what she thought about robo-advisors, she cautioned against taking a purely negative approach. "We're dismissing them, but in fact, it's very important for our industry to continue and accelerate the trend of investing in technology, thereby freeing up the very valuable time of the financial advisor. So those who are dismissive of robo-advisors are dismissing an important set of capabilities to leverage the advisor's time," she said.

At the wise young age of 24, I have a feeling I'm on to something good:
The key to happiness.
For me {at least for right now} it lies in just three simple steps...
Laugh Often,
A good laugh really is the best medicine. Even in stressful or moody times, I think it helps to find the humor in life. I especially love laughing at my embarrassing, clumsy, day-to-day awkwardness.
Be Kind to Others,
Simply put, when I help others I am actually helping myself feel better as well. Happiness is contagious. Spread the love.
and Appreciate the small stuff.
I feel so content this week. I've taken time to appreciate a good workout, to get excited about hearing my favorite song on the way to work, to "sleep in" and catch a glimpse of the Today Show as I'm getting ready, and to stroll into the office at 8:15. I hope that even as I get older and my life changes, I can still appreciate these simple things...while still also balancing a love for the "finer" things, of course! ha ;)
Sorry for vomiting rainbows and butterflies in this post. While I try to focus on these happy things, I also realize that on a bad day positivity is the most annoying message to hear! Hopefully you are having a good day instead of the latter!
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
happy hump day

To improve safety on Massachusetts roadways, the state's House approved a bill that would prohibit drivers in the state from talking on hand-held cell phones and text messaging while driving.
House lawmakers voted 107-47 on Wednesday, Jan. 23, to advance a bill to the Senate that would make it a primary offense for drivers to use hand-held mobile devices for talking or texting while behind the wheel. The distinction would allow law enforcement to pull over drivers without another reason.
Talking on a phone equipped with a hands-free accessory would still be permitted. Drivers still could use their hands to dial and hang up the phone, as long as they use an earpiece or speakerphone during their calls.
Drivers older than 18 found in violation would face $100 fines. Repeat offenders would face $250 fines, and subsequent violations could result in $500 fines.
New teen drivers with junior operator licenses also would be prohibited from using hands-free devices. Young drivers found in violation would face fines and the suspension of their licenses.
A provision added to the bill on the House floor would allow for a one-time $600 insurance surcharge for all violators on a first offense.
Attempts to curb the practice of using the devices while driving have picked up steam following the release of a Nationwide Mutual Insurance survey that found one in five drivers "texting" while driving. That number nearly doubles for drivers aged 18 to 27.
Opponents of cell phone restrictions say that talking on cell phones is no more distracting than eating, drinking or changing radio stations while driving. Others say lawmakers shouldn't be restricting people in their vehicles.
Currently, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York have the only statewide laws restricting cell phone use in vehicles. In July, California and Washington are slated to implement their own rules on cell phones.
Only New Jersey and Washington have included in their bans "texting" while driving.
The Massachusetts bill – H4477 – is awaiting assignment to committee in the Senate.

This fee will apply to any calls before or after office hours, weekends, and on holidays.
Renters Insurance
LaSalle Villas does require residents to have renters insurance. The insurance is relatively inexpensive and will cover damage if an unfortunate event such as fire, flood, roof leaks, or burglary were to occur. We are not responsible for damage to your personal belongings.
Any packages that are delivered for a resident that are too large to be placed in their mail box will be kept in the office until picked up that day by the resident. We are not responsible for packages left in the office. Any packages left by UPS, FedEx, or any other independent shipping company will also be held in the office and available for pickup during office hours.

Healthy Living
Your apartment must be kept clean, sanitary, and free from objectionable odor. No trash or other materials are allowed to accumulate which would prove hazardous or pose a health violation.

Your apartment will be exterminated every other month. Resprays are provided weekly upon request only by contacting the office. If pest control services are refused, you will be charged for cancelled appointments or damages caused to the property.
Smoke Alarms
Your smoke alarm must be operable at all times. Please do not remove the battery. Removing the battery is a violation of your lease agreement. Please report any malfunctions at once. Paragraph #8 of your lease says: "Owner will test smoke detector and provide working batteries at resident's initial possession; thereafter resident shall pay for and replace batteries, if any, as needed."
Porches and Patios
All porches and patios will be kept swept and free from trash. Please use the appropriate dumpster for all trash. Do not leave trash in front of your door. There will be a $15.00 trash removal fee for any trash, or other items, that our staff has to remove from your porch, or patio area.

Common Neighbor Courtesy
Please help keep our community looking nice. This is your home as well as the others; please help us keep it an enjoyable place to live.
Occupancy and Transfer Policies
Residents may not exceed two persons per bedroom. If additional occupants cause such occupancy standard to exceed during the lease term residents must either (1) Move into another dwelling of the owner that has more bedrooms and is available for rent at the time the current lease expires, or (2) move out at the time the current lease expires. The rent for the larger dwelling, if available, will be the rental rate at the time of the new lease, of course. A residents' right of possession may be terminated during the lease term for lease violations as set forth in the lease or as provided by law.
Move Out Policy
Move ins and move outs must be scheduled with the property manager. There are day and time restrictions.
Standard Vacating Checklist

ETF Outlook for Thursday October 24, 2013
iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE:EWJ)
Continue Reading Below
After closing at a new five-month high on Tuesday, the ETF fell by 2.1 percent Wednesday as the value of the Japanese yen gapped higher. The ETF has had an issue in the past closing above the $12.25 level and it is beginning Thursday at $11.90.
A close above $12.25 would put the ETF at its best level since 2008 and signify a major breakout for EWJ. Investors interested in playing both the Japanese equity market and the falling Yen should consider the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity ETF (NYSE:DXJ) that goes long Japanese stocks and short the Yen.
iShares Dow Jones Transportation ETF (NYSE:IYT)
Bucking the bearish trend yesterday was the transportation stocks, with IYT hitting a new all-time high and closing the day up 0.7 percent. The rally was led by a breakout and surge from the railroad stocks. Norfolk Southern (NYSE:NSC) and Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) both closed the day with big gains and are sitting at all-time highs.
The airlines are also doing well as the price of oil continues to fall. As long as the economy remains somewhat steady it appears that lower oil prices and the upcoming holiday season could be a boom for the sector.
iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:TLT)
A three-month high for the long bond as investors continue to make the bet that the Fed will not taper until next year. This action would keep interest rates down, thus pushing the value of bond ETFs higher.
TLT closed Wednesday at $108.31 and is well off the August low, but it has a long way to go to get back to the 2013 high of $124. Bond investors should not get overly bullish, as the rally will likely be short-lived.

I am posting this weekly link from the kitchen. It is currently 8 in the morning an I am making the Bacon Bomb for all of you. That aside, my weekly link this week is from a website called Chow and more specifically an article on college cooking at its best. The article talks about how college students have begun cooking more an more. Although most of the cooking implements, such as the George Foreman Grill, are against school regulation, but that doesn't stop kids from making great meals.

What We do
Looking to make some friends through First Church? Here are some of the ways that we live out our mission to "nurture ourselves and others in love and spiritual growth."
Community Sundays
We worship every second and fourth Sunday evening at 5 pm. When worship concludes at 6, we will often welcome a Guest Speaker to talk about a local organization or justice issue. We then share a hearty meal and conversation that can last well into the evening.
Coffee Hour with Nate.
On the third Wednesday of each month, we meet at First Church to share about our lives and consider a discussion topic. Feel free to drop in anytime from 11 am – 12:15 pm.
Good Hope Luncheons.
Good Hope is one of the longest-running groups at First Church. We gather monthly at First Church or a local restaurant.
Prayer Circle.
Once or twice a month, we meet as a group to pray for our friends and for our world.
Our Mission Statement calls us…
- To love God with our whole being.
- To nurture ourselves and others in spiritual growth.
- To live God's love in service to the community and the world.
We believe that God is doing a new thing at First Church, and our worship reflects that.
We worship at 5 pm, every 2nd and 4th Sunday evening. Our sanctuary is connected to our office space, and you enter simply by walking through our front door.
Kids are very welcome in worship. We also have a special "Children's Corner," with activities set aside for them.
In our informal setting, worship feels relaxed but deeply spiritual. Our people come from a variety of religious backgrounds, and we strive to reflect that diversity.
We include beloved hymns, as well as more contemporary songs. Our pastor's reflections use stories to make Scripture come alive. We celebrate Holy Communion each time we worship, and all are welcome at our table. Our worship lasts about an hour. At the end of worship, we often welcome a Guest Speaker to share about a local nonprofit organization or social justice issue.
After we worship, we eat! Community dinners are delicious, and always have a vegetarian option. They're a great time for conversation with new friends. Everyone's encouraged to stick around.
First Church carries out its mission to "live God's love in service" in a variety of ways.
Service projects
We're currently introducing new opportunities for hands-on volunteering. Groups are connecting with LifeMoves Family Shelter, Catherine Center, and There With Care in the coming months.
Hillcrest Juvenile Hall
For over fifty years, a group from First Church has been visiting the boys who spend time at Hillcrest Juvenile Hall, also known as the San Mateo County Juvenile Detention Center.
We work hard at getting to know these boys, hearing about their challenges and joys, and talking with them about God. We also donate Bibles and birthday gifts.
Casa de Redwood
Casa de Redwood is a seven-story structure providing low-income housing to seniors in Redwood City. First Church's sponsorship was instrumental to Casa being built in 1972. Since then, we have maintained a close connection to Casa, offering regular worship services to its residents and helping to staff its board.
Did you know that the word disciple means "learner"? At First Church, we live out our mission to "love God with our whole being" by exploring all sorts of ideas.
Movies that matter
Every few months, we show contemporary and relevant films (such as "Hidden Figures" and "Being Mortal") on our HD screen. We invite friends from the community, enjoy snacks or pizza, and have an informal discussion afterwards.
Soul Sparks series
Led by the Pastor, this series is part Bible study and part discussion of current events. We look at themes such as "Life-changing conversations," and "Who we are: learning from our Protestant heritage."
Guest speakers
At the end of worship, we often welcome a Guest Speaker to share about a local nonprofit organization or social justice issue.
We love kids at First Church! During worship, we set up a special "Children's Corner," with games, activities, and Bible lessons, in a room next to our sanctuary. Some children prefer to hang out there, while some children prefer to remain in worship with their parents. Our flexible space allows families to figure out what's best for them.

DMO's Iconic Flat Light
While this may not be the first time we've seen the flattening of light fixtures around the home, Korean-based DMO design group has their own take on the graphic icon-inspired lamp. Not only does in come in a candy-like assortment of colors, sizes, and patterns, but its simple attractive no-frills and space conscious style may just be the right lighting piece you need to complete your room...
Since the lamp is literally flat by design, regular bulbs won't be flying anywhere near this lamp. Instead, the designers have chosen to use LED lights, hidden into a two dimensional plane to emulate the look of a true standing lamp. And because it's flat, you also are required to lean it against something (like a wall) for an elegant angled look.
No word on price yet, but we'll keep an eye out for parties interested in purchasing the DMO Flat Light.

I've got some projects on the go here that are taking some serious work. They're not finished, not even close, and when they are, it'll be years in the making. Some of the best stuff is.
You know what I'm talking about. The hand-crafted table one of my mate's has re-done over and over to get the carving just right, so it shows off the best in the wood's grain. The flat loaves of bread baked, until you hit on the perfect method - the perfect loaf. The fledgling veggie garden, the art, or sewing, or poetry you chip away at, alone, late at night at in the back room.
It might be a job, your thesis, finishing school, running that half-marathon. Think of something in your life - hard fought and hard won. What carried you over the line?
What carries kids over the line, to finish school, to go on and achieve in life? Regardless of socio-economic factors, education, health, literacy levels, I.Q or social ability?
Angela Lee Duckworth has spent years researching this exact question in the United States, and she thinks it's 'grit'. Not a word we use so much in Australia I think - but here's how she sees it:
"Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint."
I love this. We live in a fast world of fast food, fast social media, 'reality shows', and snapshots of 'famous' people's lives bombarding us from all angles.
In all of this I wonder if its easy to lose sight of the beauty of our own unique lives and dreams, and of the sheer hard work it takes to achieve these dreams?
I think there's something to be said for persevering. For sticking things out. For putting your shoulder to the wheel and working at something you care about - for months, for years. Quietly chipping away.
It ain't pretty. You stumble. You fall. You get up and chip away some more. At some point, hands deep in the dark earth of your garden, or late at night in the back room, you realise it's not an option to stop. To turn away, even in the face of falling, is to fall much further than you'll ever fall by continuing to try. Pressing on becomes the only option.
In my teens, sleep deprived and facing down final school exams, my Dad stuck this on my desk one day. I still have it. It's been eaten by bugs, the paper creased by years of travel and the ink faded to a light grey.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "Press On" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
I'm going to humbly add a postscript to Calvin Coolidge's words (apart from making them gender neutral, people!)
Find someone who believes in you, and hold them close. Be that person for someone else.
Press on. Always.
Has grit and persistence played a part in your life?
Angela's TED talk is excellent and well worth a listen, here.

I'm not sure if my last comment worked, if it did please ignore this one. I enjoyed thinking about grit. I think I must have some grit, if I really want something I will work really hard at it. Grit is something I hope my daughter's have. It's not something you can impart, but maybe demonstrate? Great food for thought Pia.ReplyDelete
I agree Emily, I hope my boys have grit too, and I think it has something to do with not seeing experiences as 'failures'. I'd never thought about how they might learn it though! Your idea of demonstrating is such a good one, thanks for such a thoughtful comment.ReplyDelete
So inspiring!ReplyDelete
Thanks Rebecca!ReplyDelete

Big Data
(Arcady / Shutterstock)
Looking for the "display gallery" of federal finances the 2014 Digital Accountability and Transparency Act could provide?
The feds need to hammer out more definitions first.
"Treasury and [the Office of Management and Budget] have gotten off to a good start," said Government Accountability Office head Gene Dodaro in a July 29 House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. But, in true GAO fashion, Dodaro added that "much more needs to be done."
At the Data Act's core: financial transparency.
But to achieve that transparency, painting a coherent picture of all federal spending across myriad agencies, Uncle Sam needs to get all those agencies on the same page.
Dodaro noted that OMB and Treasury have released standards for 27 of the 57 financial data elements that will need to be reported under the law, yet other definitions are lacking.
"Program activity" is officially defined; "program" is not.
"It's very problematic not having this definition," Dodaro noted, saying it's impossible to see what "the aggregate federal investment is in a set of programs" or to identify returns on such investments without a standard definition. "This is not a way to run a government."
Dodaro called for a complete inventory of federal programs to help ID instances of waste.
"[C]reating a comprehensive list of federal programs along with related funding and performance information is critical for identifying potential fragmentation, overlap, or duplication among federal programs or activities," Dodaro advised in his written testimony. "Until these steps are taken and linked to the appropriate program activity data element, OMB and Treasury will be unable to provide a complete picture of spending by federal programs as required under the [Data A]ct."
Robert Taylor, Treasury's deputy assistant inspector general for audit, noted that Data Act implementation has been slowed in part by of a mix of traditional and agile program management.
The combination of methods "conceptually" made sense, he said, but a lack of clear definitions and delineations has hampered progress.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) made the case that mandating reporting wasn't enough; agencies need to be forced to keep their reporting open and understandable.
He pointed to a recent $331,000 grant -- from which agency, he didn't say -- that funded a project merely described as "research in strong interaction theory."
"That was the extent of the information we had [under Data Act reporting]," Meadows said.
After digging into it, Meadows said, he discovered the project was meant to study whether people act angrier when they're hungry by having snack-deprived toddlers stab voodoo dolls with pins.
"It's outrageous … that we're spending money on poking voodoo dolls when you're hangry," chimed in IT Subcommittee Chair Will Hurd (R-Texas).
The Data Act, as thus far implemented, may have failed to clearly show where that $331,000 was going, but feds are still confident in its potential.
"Based on over 25 years of experience in the federal government, I have seen few federal management reforms that hold as much promise as the Data Act," testified Treasury's David Lebryk, calling the act "comprehensive and transformational."
Hurd called on the witnesses to report any troublesome agencies to Congress as they work to "untangle the web of federal agency receipts … to create a clear picture of government spending."

How We Deploy Containers at Grammarly
As discussed in the first part of this series, we were very excited when we figured out how to properly build Docker images, until we realized that we had no idea how to run them in production. You might have already guessed that we were pondering building our own tool.
Requirements for Running Containers
First, we looked at a few very interesting projects, such as Kubernetes. We read their github like a great novel, full of interesting discussions and design decisions. But since at Grammarly, we are changing the engine of the car while it is barrelling down the freeway, we have to find ways to upgrade our platform incrementally. Besides, we have a monitoring framework, which also requires rethinking because it's tightly coupled with Chef.
Our original intent was to enable developers to benefit from containers without epic infrastructural changes. The main goal is to transfer ownership of services' runtime environment to developers. As a first step, we decided to have one service per instance and use EC2 tags to identify role and environment. Also, we wanted everything we deliver on servers be delivered in containers. No underlying provisioning tricks. No Chef. This might seem an unnecessary limitation, but we believe it is a powerful abstraction. Of course, there is an operating system and things like Docker daemon to consider, but this is another layer and we will talk about it soon.
Run Configuration
The first thing we had to figure out: Where is the container's run configuration? Dockerfiles are meant to be the place where such properties can be specified (e.g.
CMD) for future materialized containers. But, in reality, there are different environments and conditions in which containers can be launched, so these properties might be overridden (e.g.
docker run CMD). Also, extra properties might be added, such as volumes, links, hostnames, port mappings, etc. You can think of a Dockerfile as a build and of a "run spec" as a release stage of the 12-factor's "Build, release, run".
Here are the key properties of the run configuration we considered:
- A run configuration (we call it manifest) should be specified in a file and checked to the git repo of a particular service. This will enable developers to own and control how their services are started as well as to iterate changes to a runtime within service code changes.
- As we found during prototyping, most of our applications consist of multiple interrelated containers, therefore such specifications should be supported by our manifests.
- There should be a tool that can apply the manifest against any host and run the containers. Hence, the tool can run either on a developer's machine or on a production server.
- Manifests can change over time, and the tool should be able to granularly apply those changes; if only one container should be recreated to implement the change, the others should not be touched.
João Onofre: Box Sized Die (c) collabubed.com
There is an official docker-compose tool that we have considered for deployment. However, we have found that it is missing a few key features, which renders it unusable for us. We need something that is designed to be a deployment tool in the first place and be useful for development as a bonus (`docker-compose` is vice versa). Also, we believe that Docker's microservices approach is a good idea, and so the deployment tool should also respect it.
In general, we liked
docker-compose's method of describing applications and we made something very similar but designed to be a production deployment tool. Meet rocker-compose.
Decoupling Configuration
Why do we want granularity and idempotence? Consider the example of an nginx deployment. First of all, you might want to decouple configuration to be able to iterate without restarting nginx. While deploying the nginx application itself is not a big deal, delivering configuration gets trickier if you want to do it with containers only. You might also use tools like docker-gen (as a separate container) to notify an nginx container to reload, but you will likely describe both containers in a single app manifest, which requires the deployment tool to support granularity.
Here is an example of
rocker-compose YAML manifest of decoupled nginx deployment. You may also see a full example here.
Decoupling the Network
There is another important pattern — a loosely coupled network. Usually, people use links to connect containers together. But there are cases when you don't want one container to rely on another even though they should be able to talk to each other. A good example is a StatsD agent container, which we don't want our applications to rely on, but we do want to send metrics to it when it's available.
host networking mode might possibly solve the issue, but then you have to run both the application and StatsD in this mode. This breaks the whole point of isolation, since you don't control which ports are exposed to a host.
To solve this issue, we added a bridgeIp helper to
rocker-compose, which provides the bridge IP address to your application container where it can find StatsD, without relying on links and while staying in bridge network mode. However, since version 1.8, Docker populates all existing containers to
/etc/hosts file of every container. We need to research it further, and it may be that
bridgeIp is not needed anymore.
Sometimes we want to have a container as a one-off command that we won't run again on subsequent deploys unless it has been changed. This is useful when you want to initialize some stuff prior to starting other services. Of course, there are other ways of doing it, such as wrapping your application in some script (docker_entrypoint.sh). But there are scenarios when you want to decouple initialization from your actual applications. See what rocker-compose have to deal with it.
Further Decoupling
We wanted to be able to run multiple manifests on a single server at the same time. This would allow us to split application bits from platform stuff, such as metrics and log-forwarding agents. The split is necessary, because it is managed by different teams and may have different release cycles. Note here that containers from the different manifests may interact with each other and docker linking will not help here, because the manifests are managed separately. The loose coupling techniques listed above are essential in this case.
Our Approach to Server Provisioning
At Grammarly, we have the following layers of provisioning:
- OS layer: operating system with a pre-installed Docker daemon. We use
linux-generic-lts-vividkernel to support Overlayfs, since we had problems with devicemapper. With packer, we prepare the AMI and spin all our servers from it. Immediately after server creation, we also copy docker certificates and ssh keys.
- Platform layer: on every server, we run the aforementioned stack of common agents. Refer to this manifest to see what's inside.
- Application layer: basically, these are the high-level services that we run. Most commonly, we have one application running per instance. But there are cases when we have multiple applications, for example, for small utility services or QA stacks. Here's an example of an application manifest.
A manifest that describes "platform" agents that we run on every instance:
You may have noticed the
sensu_client container in the platform manifest. We use Sensu to gather system metrics from instances and also as a framework for writing checks and handling them. Wiring sensu-client with the host machine from the container was challenging, and it deserves its own mini article.
We use Ansible for spinning up new instances, performing initial provisioning, and for executing
rocker-compose on them. We plan to move to Terraform to handle more advanced scenarios, such as attaching EBS volumes to new instances or spinning up complex services that require coordinated bootstrap. It may be that we can adopt rocker-compose as a provisioner.
As mentioned earlier, we have quite a dumb (but working!) service discovery. We use EC2 instance tags to mark instances by "environment", "role", and "track". Track is simply an additional dimension that allows us to break down groups of services for things like A/B testing. On balancers, there is a tool that polls AWS and generates nginx/haproxy configurations according to the list of available instances.
We hope to incorporate Consul in the near future to make the service discovery more robust. For example, failed services should be removed from the balancer configuration automatically. There is also a scenario where the instance is up, but an application failed to deploy on it, and a service discovery mechanism should automatically handle such cases.
Looking Forward
In spite of the fact that Google has being running containers for more than a decade, the container ecosystem in the broader industry is at a very immature stage. Yet, we can already see the advantages of running containers even in such experimental conditions. There are many questions left to resolve, such as stability, security, and service discovery. Build systems and monitoring facilities are still lacking. Also, we are hopefully watching the progress of rkt and OCI.
Grammarly is finalizing our migration to fully containerized production services, and rocker and rocker-compose have proven to be incredibly useful tools for our engineers. We hope that you find our experience insightful and maybe even helpful as we all work to build a better devops culture.

Alli, an anti-obesity drug available without a prescription in France since 2009, is no longer marketed since last year, it was learned Friday from the manufacturer, the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
"We had a supply problem of the molecule in January 2012 and have subsequently decided not to re-marketing of Alli because the French context related to the particular case of the Mediator" said a spokesman laboratory, confirming a report published by the independent medical journal prescribe.
The specialty Alli, which contains 60 mg of orlistat, however continue to be marketed in most other European countries and the United States, said the laboratory.
In 2011, the French Medicines Agency (AFSSAPS / MSNA) warned against the "risk of rare but serious liver damage" during treatment with diet and orlistat capsules were placed in its product list drugs under surveillance.
But in March 2012, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) confirmed that the benefit-risk orlistat remained favorable in the treatment of overweight associated with a diet.
According to Prescribe review its effectiveness will remain limited, with a weight loss of about 3.5 kg more than placebo after 12 to 24 months.
Among its side effects are mainly gastrointestinal disorders related to the elimination of fats in the blood, especially early in treatment, but orlistat can also lead to anxiety, and in some exceptional cases of pancreatitis or liver problems . According Prescribing, the molecule also reduce the effectiveness of many drugs.
Another specialty based orlistat, Xenical, produced by Roche laboratory is marketed in France, but it is only available on prescription. This medicine contains 120 mg of orlistat is indicated for the treatment of obesity or overweight associated risk factors.

"Fake News" has recently become a buzzword thanks to social media, and with consistent breakthroughs and progressions in AI, is this the answer to debunking the rumors online?
Unfortunately, the general public is attracted to controversy and outlandish stories over the somewhat mundane news that we might get served. When these more compelling stories are published, whether or not they hold true, they get spread at an alarming pace. People are compelled to share this information, and thus fake news becomes "fact" with the public becoming misinformed. Take an April fool's joke, for example, 23andMe teamed up with Lexus to announce 'Genetic Select, the world's first service that uses human genetics to match you with the car of your genes.' The video announcing the new product gained 1,837,253 views on YouTube in less than a week, demonstrating the power of the internet.
It's important to educate the general public, and we need to be made aware of the news, but as Rumman Chowdhury, Principal Partner at Accenture explained, 'it's difficult because we need a hook to get people involved, but what is that hook? If we say 'Robot beats human' people are intrigued, but if you say 'AI helps human' people don't care as much! How can we democratize it better?'
