Pipeline threatens Sandhills
ATKINSON - Sandhills residents turned out in force last Thursday in Atkinson for a special public hearing convened by the State Department on a proposed pipeline to be built across Nebraska by TransCanada (partnered with ConocoPhillips). The controversial $13 billion pipeline project, known as Keystone XL, if built, will carry up to 900,000 barrels a day of tar sands oil from Canada to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The proposed Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Project is a 36-inch oil pipeline that would begin at Hardisty, Alberta and extend southeast through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. The proposed route passes through the Nebraska Sandhills and over the Ogallala Aquifer. The pipeline will slice across 92 miles of the Sandhills and 250 miles of farm and ranch land. The counties it would cross are Boone, Fillmore, Garfield, Greeley, Hamilton, Jefferson, Keya Paha, Merrick, Nance, Saline, Wheeler and York. There are over 1,000 groundwater wells in the pipeline path and numerous smaller wells and seasonal surface water bodies. Fear of contaminating the Ogallala Aquifer is at the center of much of the debate. Proponents Say ... Pipeline offers new jobs, energy independence TransCanada says the pipeline project would lead to more than 120,000 new U.S. jobs, 7,500 of them in Nebraska, and $20 billion in economic growth, including more than $11 million in state and local taxes for Nebraska. How much of this growth is permanent and how many of the jobs are here to stay? Many of the jobs forecast by TransCanada are for construction of the pipeline itself. Once the pipeline is completed (sometime in 2012), those jobs are likely to go with it. TransCanada brought two busloads of employees to fill Atkinson's high school auditorium and show support for the pipeline. There were some locals in attendance, however, that also agreed with building the pipeline. John Sieler (Nebraska State Board of Education member) spoke in favor of the pipeline citing jobs, economic growth and energy independence as his reasons. Mitchell Parker, a member of the Omaha Tribal Council, also supports the Keystone XL pipeline for economic reasons. Parker estimates that unemployment may be as high as 78 percent for the tribe and the pipeline would bring much needed relief in that area. The Omaha Tribe can be found in eastern Nebraska about three miles from the Missouri River, although historically, Parker claims the Sandhills was once their home. With that, Mitchell expressed his concern about water contamination. "Water is part of our culture. All of God's creation can't survive without water." Parker also expressed his gratitude towards TransCanada for letting them be part of this process. "The pipeline at least came and asked what we think. No one has ever done that before."Opponents say no ...They warn of ecological disaster The majority of the audience Thursday seemed opposed to the Keystone pipeline. Many of those against the pipeline listed contamination of the Ogallala Aquifer as their chief concern. The Ogallala Aquifer stretches across eight states (the largest section being in Nebraska) and provides nearly one-third of the groundwater used to irrigate US crops. First to speak at the public hearing in Atkinson was Nebraska State Senator Annette Dubas (34th Legislative District). Dubas was not opposed to the idea of a pipeline or job creation, but was "opposed to the route through Nebraska's most ecologically sensitive area – the Sandhills." Dubas named the Ogallala Aquifer as one of the most fragile ecosystems in the world. Speaking to the representatives of the State Department present, Senator Dubas argued that the federal government does not have siting authority for oil pipelines, even interstate pipelines. Quoting a congressional research memo, Dubas stated, "In the absence of federal siting authority, state laws establish primary siting authority for oil pipelines." Senator Dubas introduced a bill this week that would enable Nebraska siting authority over oil pipelines. State Director of Audubon Nebraska, Marian Langan, was also in Atkinson and weighed in on the topic. The official position of Audubon is that the pipeline is dangerous for Nebraska. The best scenario, Langan argued, would be for the permit for the pipeline to be denied outright. At the very least, she said, get it out of the Sandhills. "We are sitting on top of the most pristine body of water in the country. It's ludicrous to run the pipeline through here." Langan claims that the Keystone pipeline that is already in the ground has leaked at least fourteen times. The tar sands oil that the pipeline would carry contains a high number of toxins such as benzene and toluene. Benzene is a known carcinogen. "The economic value of the aquifer…the livelihood for this generation and future generations is going to be completely destroyed. Nebraska is going to be known as that tragic place where that terrible oil spill happened." Dairy Farmer Robert Bernt of Clear Creek Organic Farms in Spalding, set up a table outside of the meeting. Bernt, along with his family, handed out samples of his farm made cheeses and talked with passerbys about his opposition to the pipeline. Bernt expressed his concerns over the recent earthquakes in the Sandhills and the pipelines ability to withstand leaking under such conditions. The proposed pipeline would cross the Cedar River where Bernt's 80 head of dairy cows and 40 head of beef cattle drink. His son also runs an outfitting and tanking business on the Cedar River. Bernt is concerned an oil spill would destroy his farm and any tourist business on the river. One of the arguments for a new oil pipeline is national security but Bernt argues, "more national security can be gained with clean fresh water that oil. When water gets in short supply, we can bargain in and out of whatever we want to with the Ogallala Aquifer." Other groups in Nebraska opposing the pipeline include the Center for Rural Affairs, two NRDs including the Lower Niobrara and Upper Elkhorn, Nebraska Sierra Club, Nebraska Wildlife Federation, Nebraska League of Conservation Voters, Nebraska Green Party, Nebraskans for Peace, and the Nebraskan Farmers Union.Recent pipeline leaks TransCanada vowed that their pipeline is safe and creates little harm to the environment. They claim that the Sandhills represent a sedimentary formation of sands, gravels and silts and that groundwater movement is very slowly. Any spills, they say, could be quickly contained. Ranchers in the area say that water movement varies from season to season and can move quickly at certain times. Dr. John Stansbury, associate professor of UNL's Department of Engineering, predicted in a recent study that the Keystone XL pipeline would experience 91 leaks over the next 50 years. Pipeline oil leaks are not uncommon. In July of this year, 42,000 gallons spilled onto Montana's Yellowstone River from ExxonMobile's Silvertip Pipeline. Most of the damage was within 50 miles of the spill but reports of oil were found as far as 240 miles away. This was from a 12-inch pipe, a third the size of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. The Keystone would transport up to 21.4 million gallons of tar sands oil every day from Alberta to Texas. The pipeline would cross more than 70 rivers and streams (including the Yellowstone) and the Ogallala Aquifer. Last year, Michigan experienced its worst environmental disaster when a pipeline spilled 840,000 gallons of oil into a creek linked to the Kalamazoo River, resulting in $700 million worth of damage. In July, seven U.S. Senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding their concern over the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and the impacts on the Yellowstone River in Montana from a leak in ExxonMobil's Silvertip pipe-line. The Senators (none from Nebraska) specifically name the danger to the Ogallala Aquifer. "The DOS should more thoroughly analyze alternate routes for Keystone XL that minimize the length of pipeline in the U.S. and avoid the fragile Sandhills region of the Ogallala aquifer. The Ogallala aquifer is the source of freshwater for over 2 million Americans."11th Hour for Nebraska Legislature Nebraska's Secretary of State John Gale expressed that he was sympathetic to the concerns of the towns and ranchers of the Sandhills. "I'm very proud of people for standing up and expressing their concerns about the potential impact of the pipeline route." Secretary Gale said that he must try to remain neutral on the matter, as there was the potential for a special session of the legislature to be called to discuss the pipeline. Secretary Gale did tell the Custer County Chief that were several questions surrounding the pipeline issue. If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton granted a permit for the Keystone Pipeline, who would then be responsible for oversight? Was this a federal issue or a state one? Montana and South Dakota have made it public that they would exercise state jurisdiction over routing issues, as well as safety and security. Nebraska may have gotten into the game too late to influence the outcome. "It's the eleventh hour for Nebraska to assert any jurisdiction," said Secretary Gale. "The legislature at best could enact a law to create a mechanism for examining routing and pipeline safety and security. But then someone would need to look into those issues. There is no guarantee that after extensive hearings, engineering, technical and environmental investigations that the agency wouldn't end up granting the permit across Nebraska anyway." The bigger question down the road may be should this mechanism be created now anyway in case of future pipelines that may be routed through Nebraska. This is not likely to be the last.

Hi There!
I'm sharing a layout today inspired by Dusty Attic February moodboard and sketch!
I mixed different Dusty Attic chipboard which I treated with paint, Stickles and gesso.
I also used the leave stencil as part of creating the background.
The chipboard title "Live Beautifully" was treated with Dusty Colour (Soot; Capri).
Once dry I added Stickles (glitter with glue)
The "Doodads #8" chipboard was cut in three parts and spread over the page.
I treated the doodle frame with pastel Ink colours and then added Stickles once again.
I used Dusty Attic Pearls as decoration all over the layout - on chipboard and on masked patterns.
I love the Floral Frame Set - it's so beautiful! I used the smaller floral for my project.
Treated once again with mixed Dusty Colours paint and then decorated with some Stickles.
I treated the cute Mini Bird Cages #2 only with gesso.
When I masked the Leaves I added Stickles almost right away.
Loved the effect - it looks as if the modelling paste is glittery.

Thank you for visiting today!
Happy Crafting!

Two window cleaners were reportedly trapped after scaffolding collapsed at the top of Hearst Tower in Manhattan, NBC New York is reporting.
The men were rescued after the scaffolding was secured, and a firefighter was able to pull them through the window on the 43rd story.
According to the Fire Department of New York, the cause of the scaffolding collapse was the center motor failing. There were no major injuries, Shimon Prokupecz of WNBC in New York tweeted.
The tower is 46 stories tall, and 20-30mph winds were believed to be causing a problem in the rescue attempt. Parts of 57th and 58th Street and 8th Avenue were reportedly shut down.
This tweeted picture gives you a good sense of the stakes:

ABC 7 has live footage of the scene. It appears that the scaffold has broken in the center:
Here you can see one man close up:
The FDNY appears to have dropped safety lines down to the workers. They have also reportedly removed a window in a bid to secure the scaffolding.
Hearst Tower has a pretty complex window-washing system. The New Yorker wrote about it recently (the full article is behind a paywall), saying the scaffolding system cost $3 million and has a "computer that monitors 67 electromechanical safety sensors and switches." The project's construction manager said it was "like a ride at Disneyland."
The system is supposed to be checked for safety each morning.
Here's what the building looks like, if you need a refresher:

Lee—along with PETA, who was like, "Oh, you're writing an angry letter? Here, have a logo!"—recently fired off a missive to SeaWorld San Diego, saying that the music it plays during its "Shamu Rocks" shows is harming the wildlife, in addition to the concept of "rocking." In his letter, Lee says, "I'm writing to ask you not to play any Mötley Crüe songs at any of SeaWorld's parks during this sad show," adding, "Although we like to torture the human fans who willingly come to our shows, we don't want to be a part of making innocent animals' lives hellish." Ha ha, he is self-aware that Mötley Crüe is horrible now. Anyway, SeaWorld has yet to respond, likely because it is still busy figuring out how to stage Shamu's big stripper pole number without using "Girls Girls Girls."

Overbay HR sends Yanks past Rays in 11
St. Petersburg, FL – Lyle Overbay provided the winning margin with a solo homer in the top of the 11th inning, and the New York Yankees overcame a two-run deficit in the ninth to rally for a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.
The Yankees trailed 3-1 entering the final at-bat before tying the game on a Brett Gardner single that followed Brennan Boesch's pinch-hit RBI double off Rays closer Fernando Rodney with two outs.
Ivan Nova (2-1) worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of 10th to earn the win and enable the Yankees to take their first series at Tropicana Field since Apr. 9-11, 2010.
New York had lost in 13 of its last 16 visits to St. Petersburg prior to Friday's 9-4 triumph in the opener of this three-game set.
"It doesn't seem like we've won a whole lot of games here the last few years, they've really had our number," Gardner remarked. "It feels good to come in here and win the first two and try to go for the sweep tomorrow."
The Rays were dealt a third straight defeat overall, while Matt Moore fell short of becoming the first nine-game winner in the majors this season despite holding the Yankees to one run and five hits through six innings of work.
Moore was matched for most of the afternoon by Vidal Nuno, with the Yankees' rookie charged with two runs allowed on five hits over six-plus frames.
Josh Lueke (0-2) was tagged with the loss after serving up Overbay's go-ahead blast.
The struggling Rodney came on to protect a 3-1 lead and retired the first two Yankee hitters in the ninth before Overbay worked a walk to keep New York's hopes alive. Boesch, called up from the minors earlier in the day, then lofted a fly ball that dropped fair just inside the left-field line to send home Overbay and bring up Gardner, who delivered a base hit to center on a 1-2 count that evened the score and eventually forced extras.
It was Rodney's fifth blown save in 10 chances this season.
"This has been really awkward to watch," said Rays manager Joe Maddon of Rodney's problems. "I think three of the blown saves have come on the last pitch. I've not lost any patience with him, honestly."
The Rays had a golden opportunity to take Rodney off the hook in the 10th after singles by Ryan Roberts and Evan Longoria and a walk to Ben Zobrist filled the sacks with one out. Nova managed to bear down and record a huge strikeout of James Loney, however, before getting Matt Joyce to ground out and keep the contest even.
Lueke also began the 11th with two straight outs, but Overbay hooked a fastball just inside the right-field foul pole to send the Yankees in front and Mariano Rivera tossed a 1-2-3 bottom of the inning to notch his 18th successful save opportunity to start the season.
"I've been missing fastballs all day," said Overbay afterward. "It was just good to get on top of one instead of being late and underneath it."
Nuno kept the Rays off balance throughout his second career major league start, which ended when gave up a leadoff single to Loney with the game tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh. Joyce then greeted reliever Shawn Kelley with a double down the right-field line that set up pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson's go-ahead base hit off Boone Logan.
Preston Claiborne took over for Logan and induced a grounder from Yunel Escobar that New York shortstop Jayson Nix fielded and fired home, with Joyce narrowly sliding under the tag to give Tampa Bay a 3-1 edge.
The Yankees did their damage against Moore early, as Gardner laced the young standout's fourth pitch of the day into the right-field corner for a double. Moore set down the next two hitters, but Travis Hafner came through with a clutch single up the middle to bring in the game's first run.
That score stood until the bottom of the fifth, when the Rays broke through against Nuno with a pair of doubles from Jose Molina and Desmond Jennings that knotted the contest at 1-1. The lefty had permitted just two hits and a walk over the first four frames.
New York failed to muster much offensively over the remainder of Moore's stint, though a two-out walk to Hafner followed by a David Adams single in the sixth put runners at the corners. Moore was able to get Ichiro Suzuki to ground into a fielder's choice, however, and end the mild threat.
Game Notes
Boesch was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre when the Yankees officially placed outfielder Curtis Granderson, who fractured his left knuckle after being hit by a pitch from the Rays' Cesar Ramos in Friday's opener ... The Rays suffered their first loss in Moore's 10 starts this season ... The Yankees improved their MLB-best record to 21-1 when scoring first this year ... Gardner and Suzuki each finished with two hits for New York, while Longoria went 2-for-5 one day after having a 16-game hit streak snapped.

Simon Curty. Issue Report Assessment — Assessment of Issue Report Quality and Class through Natural Language Processing. Bachelor's thesis, University of Bern, February 2018. Details.
Issue reports are a crucial aspect of software development. They enable collaboration and communication of faults and task. However, issue reports are only helpful if they provide meaningful information, which is often not the case. Such low-quality issue reports induce a multitude of problems: Developers lose time figuring out the issue. Both time needed to complete the issue and its priority are harder to estimate. Assigning issues to the right developer is more difficult. To alleviate these negative impacts, commonly a triager is taking the responsibility to assess issue reports. However, this process is time consuming and cannot fill in missing information. Since issue reports provide insight into a projects changes and faults over time, they are an often used data source for bug prediction, that is the inference of knowledge about past and future bugs. But the quality of such predictions depends on the quality of the source data. We address two factors strongly affecting the quality of issue reports: (1) issue reports have an assigned type. When the assigned type does not reflect the true nature of the report, it is said to be misclassified. An issue report classified as bug may in reality be a feature request. This Misclassification introduces bias in bug prediction and makes it harder to assign an issue to the right developer. (2) Bug reports are commonly written by hand and the reporter does not always include important information. The quality of the content of a bug report impacts the time a developer needs to spend identifying the actual issue. To tackle the misclassification problem, we propose an approach to categorize issue reports. Our classifier achieves an accuracy of 82.9% when classifying issue reports into bugs and non-bugs. For multiclass classification of issue reports by type, our model achieves an accuracy of 74.4%. Thus, our model can reliably validate datasets used for bug prediction and distinguish between issue types. To address the second problem, we propose an approach to estimate the quality of bug reports and assign them a score. This Quality Estimator is capable of giving improvement suggestions, potentially helping reporters to write more helpful bug reports. To showcase real world applications of our models we integrated both the classifier model and the Quality Estimator into a tool for issue report assessment. The tool is implemented as browser extension and allows the user to get feedback about the type of an issue report with one click. The tool is also capable of providing suggestions on how to improve a bug report based on the information already provided.

Hodgkin's Disease and Fertility
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
If someone could please respond to my query, I would be most appreciative. My brother was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease at seventeen, he's now thirty-one. He's in remission, but had relapsed once before. Anyhow, during his first bout with the disease, he was approached by doctors for sperm-banking. During this time, he was undergoing treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. Being only seventeen, my parents felt this matter was a little too much at such a young age. The doctors told us not to worry that if we waited at least two years, he'll be able to regain his fertility.
Now, at thirty-one, he is getting married, and was told last week by his doctor that he will never be able to fertilize an egg because he has zero sperm activity.
Can someone please help me? I am looking for a respectable, expert answer from your resources regarding this kind of situation. At a trying period like this, a reply from your staff would greatly ease my family's worries.
Kenneth Blank, MD and John Han-Chih Chang, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistants, respond:
Dear DW:
We wish we can report otherwise, but azospermia (the lack of sperm) is a known side effect of the treatment of Hodgkin's Disease.
Both radiation and chemotherapy can cause azospermia. Low doses of radiation directed at the testes will cause azospermia and for this reason radiation oncologists take great care to protect the testes from receiving any dose. It is rare that the testes are involved with lymphoma and, therefore, the they can be covered with a lead shield that usually successfully protects the sperm producing cells.
Chemotherapy can also cause sterility. Two chemotherapy medications (procarbazine and mechloethamine) are known to cause sterility and were commonly used in the past to treat Hodgkin's Disease. Today, other chemotherapy agents which do not cause sterility and are often recommended in patients who have a desire to remain fertile.
The use of these new chemotherapy agents and careful radiotherapy techniques have greatly reduced the rate of sterility in patients treated for Hodgkin's Disease. Unfortunately, this new treatment may be too late to help your brother.

Most Common Hayward Pool Cleaner Parts
In business for over 80 years, Hayward is a major player in all things pool. In the 1980's Hayward purchased the Arneson pool cleaner technology and began creating their own automatic pool cleaners, the Pool Vac and later the Navigator. Other suction cleaners followed during the 90's.
In 2007, Hayward got into the growing robotic pool cleaner business with the purchase of the AquaVac company, and began producing the Hayward Tiger Shark, and then the Shark Vac.
Now, all they needed was a pressure cleaner, to go against Polaris and Letro brands. Engineers went to work and created the Hayward Phantom and Viper pool cleaners. There have been some problems with these cleaners, and currently Hayward is phasing out these two models.
Here's the List - the most common Hayward pool cleaner parts - parts for the Navigator, Tiger Shark and Phantom pool cleaners by Hayward.
Tiger Shark Filter Cartridge Replacement Set - RCX70101
The Tiger Shark pool cleaner uses pleated filter cartridges to trap debris and filter the water moving through the robotic pool cleaner. This is a bit of departure from other robot pool cleaners, which use a filter bag to catch the debris.
Cleaning your filter cartridges regularly can help to extend their life. The best time to clean these cartridges is after the cleaner has run it's cycle. Acidic debris, chemicals and live bugs can damage the polyester material, if you allow the cleaner cartridges to sit dirty for very long.
Tiger Shark filter cartridges are subject to a similar replacement schedule as pool filter cartridges. Generally, replace Tiger Shark cartridges after 2-3 seasons, or if the fabric breaks away from the edges, or develops holes.
Tiger Shark Drive Belt - RCX23002
The drive belt, it's like a tank track, wrapping around 2 pulleys, one in the center top, and is attached to the end of each wheel tube. As the motor engages inside of the Tiger Shark, the drive pully pushes the belt forward, which spins the wheel tubes.
Drive belts suffer a lot of wear on rough pools, and when the tread is completely gone, the frame of the pool cleaner can begin to scrape on the body of the cleaner, or the bottom plate. Loose belts, due to loose pulleys or wheel tubes, can cause the Tiger Shark to spin and not move, or move on one side only and drag around the other side.
Replace your Drive Belts if they have lost half of their tread depth. Like auto tires, it's best to buy a complete set - replace both Drive Tracks at the same time.
Tiger Shark Wheel Tube Bearing - RCX26005
The Wheel Tube bearing is inserted into the end of the wheel tubes to give a smooth rolling action to the pool cleaner. Inside of the bearing race are stainless steel ball bearings, and on the outside, the slotted surface of the bearing mates up with the tabs on the inside of the Drive Tracks. The smooth opposite end pushes into the wheel tube,
Wheel tube bearings can become damaged if the tracks come loose, or if the pool cleaner is dropped onto one of the wheel tubes. One sure sign that you need new wheel tube bearing is when you clean your Tiger Shark filters, and find a bunch of tiny ball bearings.
Unlike Drive Belts, there is usually no need to replace both wheel tube bearings at the same time. If you are replacing one Tiger Shark bearing however, inspect the other end for lots of play or movement around the bearing race.
Hayward Pod Shoes - Concrete (4 Pack) - AXV414P
Hayward Pod Shoes, seem to me to be more like feet than shoes, but they fit on the Pods of the PoolVac and Navigator pool cleaners. They are a wearable part, protecting the bottom of the cleaner, mounted on the "pods" of the cleaner, which are kind of like the legs of the cleaner, as it does it's funky chicken dance around the pool.
There are four different types of pod shoes for the Hayward pool cleaners, and the right one for you depends on your pool type. The Ceramic pod shoes, shown in our picture, are for tiled pools. The clear color pod shoes, for concrete pools, are the largest type sold. Cork pod shoes are sold for vinyl pools, and the fourth type is known as Santoprene, or slotted, which work on the Aquabug, Diver Dave and Wanda Whale models.
Replace all four pod shoes at the same time, they are sold in packs of four. They are easy to replace, with the use of a flat head screwdriver.
Phantom Large Capacity Debris Bag W/ Float - AX6000BA
A debris bag, to fit the Phantom pressure side pool cleaner, this cleaner part is in high demand. As it states, it's a high capacity debris bag, with a float, that keeps it upright, when mounted onto the Phantom cleaner.
The Viper, Hayward's other now obsolete pressure side pool cleaner uses a different bag, the AX5500FA, and they are not compatible. Slowly, parts may eventually dry up for these two pool cleaners as it seems that Hayward no longer supports these models.
Replace your Phantom debris bag when holes develop or if the attachment frame become cracked or split. Good water chemistry and careful cleaning can help extend the life of pool cleaner debris bags.
Tiger Shark Filter Cartridge Assembly with Carrier - RCX70100
The Filter Cartridge assembly, item RCX70100, is a set of the Tiger Shark filter cartridges and the carriage or holder. Replace the assembly if your carriage is damaged or broken, and you also need to replace the cartridges.
Tiger Shark carriage assemby also fits the Pinnacle cleaner and the TigerShark II robotic pool cleaner.The carriage also protects the Tiger Shark drive and pump motor, surrounding it on all sides.
Tiger Shark Wheel Roller Brush - RCX26008
The Tiger Shark wheel brush is a soft rubber brush that wraps around the wheel tube. The flexible wide bristles brush material into the path of the suction port, and scrubs the pool wall and floor.
There also is an optional type of wheel brush, used for tile, vinyl or fiberglass pools, made of a textured sponge material. This foam material wears very fast on most gunite or plaster pools.
Replacing your wheel roller brushes at the right time can be important to prevent damage to the wheel tube bearings or wheel tubes. Broken tabs can be resecured with a zip tie to stitch them back together. Much like the Drive Tracks, wheel tube brushes should be replaced when their tread life is reduced by half.
Maintain proper chemistry, and when not using your Tiger Shark, pull it out of the pool, and store the unit out of the sun, tipped on it's side. This can help extend the life of your wheel brushes and other soft parts on the Tiger Shark.
Phantom Rigid Pressure Hose - Complete - AX600HAV
As you can see from the picture, this is a fairly large kit. It contains many different hose sections, including rigid and flexible sections, swivels, sweep hoses wall connector and pressure tester. This assembly works for both the Phantom and the Viper pool cleanerrs.
Pool cleaner hoses can dry out if they are exposed to high chlorine or low pH, or left out in the sun. You can buy individual hose sections, or sweep hoses, or for a total hose renovation, use this pressure hose kit for the Phantom and Viper pool cleaners.
When assembling the hose sections, it's advised to use a small dab of lubricant on the o-ring connections.
Hayward Pod Kit - AXV417WHP
Another popular part for the Hayward suction cleaners, the Navigator and Pool Vac are the Pods. The Pod Kit includes the pods, screws, bushings and washers, but does not include shoes, and you'll usually need a new pair of pod shoes to go along with new pods.
Replacing your pod shoes regularly can prevent the need to replace the pods. They can also break from dropping the cleaner, but the majority of replacement pod kits are needed because the cleaner rubbed along the pool bottom, with worn out pod shoes.
Pods are manufactured either left or right, and only install in one orientation. When replacing pods, screw them down tightly until they are flush with cleaner, then install new pod shoes.
Hayward Phantom Manifold Assembly W/ Hoses & Ties - AX6000MA
Looking like an alien life support system, the manifold is the water engine of both the Phantom and hte Viper pool cleaners.
This part does not include the gear box, floats or any parts external to the cleaner. This is the water management system for the Phantom, hoses and clips shown are included for connection.
If you need this part, your cleaner is probably not workiing, or is losing so much pressure that it's barely moving.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this deeper dive into Hayward pool cleaner parts. Take care of your pool cleaner!

My blog has moved
I didn't know people were still landing quite a lot on this blog, so I never took the time to mention I know write things at alpmestan.com (click the title), for many, many reasons. I wasn't really satisfied with this platform, I've since then been wandering between hakyll and octopress, and am about to get a really cool thing out with hakyll, maching my needs much more.
scoutess, continuous integration, cabal and the Google Summer of Code
Recently, many people have been publishing blog posts or Google+ threads about cabal(-install), dependency hells, continuous integration, and some other issues (here and there for example). You may also have noticed some attempts to work around some of these issues, like cabal-nirvana. Some of you may have also read about or even used Travis CI (they recently announced Haskell project support).
Jeremy Shaw and I have been discussing a lot about many of the issues that make a Haskell project hard to maintain, in particular how hard it is to know when/how someone will enter the dependency hell when installing your project, and how/why that person got there. Then we talked about how nice it would be to actually have a flexible continuous integration platform for (cabal-powered) Haskell projects. (This was before cabal-nirvana has been written and also before Travis CI's announcement.)
So we decided to start such a project. Scoutess aims at providing the Haskell community a powerful and viable build bot with a few key services like dependency tracking, on-commit build testing, nightly builds with handling of multiple GHC versions (and dependency versions), report generation, etc. Of course, all the builds will be sandboxed and many of the services will be configurable (and in particular, you will be able to turn them on/off). You can find a list of features/ideas we plan to implement (or already have implemented) on this page.
In particular, you may notice that scoutess' scope is deeper than Travis CI's. For example, if you want to do dependency tracking, or handle multiple package and GHC versions, or handle automatic posting of reports somewhere, you have to handle it all by yourself with Travis CI, whereas scoutess will provide this out-of-the-box. Also, as far as I know, Travis CI is currently restricted to github (although this may not be the biggest drawback since it represents a fair amount of the most commonly used Haskell packages). And we plan to benefit from focusing only on cabal-powered Haskell projects by using all the information we can gather from cabal files to offer much better functionality.
We already have implemented some core features and designed a part of the project, but it is still far from being usable. If you want to talk about the project with us, give your opinion or some ideas, do not hesitate to drop by the #happs IRC channel on freenode and ping stepcut and/or alpounet.
Want to hack on scoutess for the Google Summer of Code?
If you are a prospective student for the GSoC and if you are interested in working on scoutess, we would gladly accept mentoring you during the GSoC. Possible project ideas include (but are not necessarily restricted to):
- writing the sandboxed building service around cabal-dev, virtualhenv or hs-env, and integrating it with the current code-base (for example, making it use the 'LocalHackage' service instead of just fetching packages over and over again)
- writing the dependency-tracking service (which would eventually also include tracking the development repositories of the dependencies)
- working on the report generation and posting system (but that would most likely require the build service to be implemented)
These are the 3 ideas I have in mind right now, but we could find something more "restricted", or just tailored for an interested student after some discussion.
So feel free to ask any question about the project and/or the ideas for the GSoC in the comments, on IRC or by email at <alpmestan AT gmail DOT com>.
Note: I just created a ticket on the Haskell GSoC trac here.
A French community for Haskell
During the past few months, there has been some growing activity in the (hidden) French circles of the Haskell community. A few people, including myself, are trying to increase the interest around Haskell in the French-speaking communities. You may (or may not) have noticed the translation of Learn You A Haskell that is available here, in French. We also have an IRC channel, #haskell-fr (access it through Freenode's webchat), and a mailing list. Please let us know about you if you are a French-speaking haskeller!
But we would like to get it a step further. We are currently considering the idea of a French hackathon. We already have been offered a room for 3 days in June 2012, in conjunction with a French Perl event. So one of the reasons behind this blog post is to get some feedback about this, in addition to letting people know about the French community. Who would be interested in attending such an event? This would be in Strasbourg, France for the moment. Note that this would not necessarily be restricted to French haskellers! The format would be a pretty much classical Hackathon: potential talks and a lot of Haskell hacking. So please let us know if you'd be interested in attending this (by commenting this post, the IRC channel or the mailing list).
On a side note, these past few days, I updated one of my libraries: statistics-linreg and published one too: kmeans-vector. It performs the k-means clustering algorithm on a list of points, and can lead to "pretty" graphics like the following.
Getting GHC HEAD and LLVM working together
Since dons' two posts, I have seen many people on the haskell-cafe mailing-list and the haskell-related IRC channels asking how they could get GHC HEAD and the LLVM-related stuff, build them and all. There are a lot of this information on the ghc trac but I have been told it would be nice to have a comprehensive guide with all the necessary steps and information.
Getting, patching and building LLVM
It is as simple as executing the following commands:
$ svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
$ cd llvm
$ patch -p0 -i ~/llvm-ghc.patch
$ ./configure –enable-optimized # probably also want to set –prefix
$ make
$ make install
where the given llvm-ghc.patch file can be downloaded here : http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~davidt/downloads/llvm-ghc.patch.
Getting GHC HEAD and Patching it to add the LLVM backend
First, get the latest archive matching that pattern : ghc-HEAD-AAAA-MM-JJ-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.{gz or bz2} at http://darcs.haskell.org/, the latest currently being ghc-HEAD-2009-10-23-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.gz. It ships GHC with all its dependencies, also including a testsuite.
Put the archive file in (on my computer) /home/alp/haskell/. Uncompress it with for example:
$ tar xzf ghc-HEAD-2009-10-23-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.gz
You should get a /home/alp/haskell/ghc/ directory. Now we have to fetch the latest patches applied to GHC since the archive you downloaded got published on darcs.haskell.org. To do this, simply do:
$ chmod +x ./darcs-all
$ ./darcs-all pull -a
(the former may not be necessary though)
It can take some time, there may be a lot of patches to fetch and apply, don't worry.
If you are not interested in having the LLVM backend, you can stop reading that section and go straight to the next one.
Once done with that, you have to download the patch to add the support to the LLVM backend to GHC. Just download the following file : http://www.cse.unséw.edu.au/~davidt/downloads/ghc-llvmbackend-full.gz (it actually just is a darcs patch, not an archive or anything else — you may want to rename it with a .patch extension), put it in ghc's directory (/home/alp/haskell/ghc/ here) and apply the patch :
$ darcs apply ghc-llvmbackend-full.patch
(or .gz)
You just have one more patch to apply (isn't life about applying patches?), written by Don Stewart, to be able to pass LLVM options to GHC without conflicting with other options. You can get it at http://www.galois.com/~dons/add-new-llvm-code-generator-to-ghc_.dpatch. Just move it to your ghc directory and darcs apply it, like you just did for the previous patch. (note: this step might not be necessary if the previous patch or the ghc repository contain it)
Ok, we are almost done! Now create a file named "build.mk" in (on my computer) /home/alp/haskell/ghc/mk/, and put the following content in that file:
GhcWithLlvmCodeGen = YES
GhcEnableTablesNextToCode = NO
The first, obviously, enables LLVM code generation in GHC. The second disables a feature currently being in conflict between the LLVM and the C code generators, if I remember correctly. Now, let's build GHC, hooray!
Building and using the patched GHC non-intrusively
Once all the patches are fetched and applied, you just have to do:
$ sh boot
$ ./configure
$ make
Now, have a cup of coffee, read newspapers, try to solve P vs NP, whatever. It takes some time.
Once done with 'make', there should be many binaries in (on my computer) /home/alp/haskell/ghc/inplace/bin/. The ghc binary is called ghc-stage2
To check that the LLVM backend is enabled, as explained on Don's post, just do the following (in the your ghc/inplace/bin/ directory):
$ ghc-stage2 –info
and verify that it gives you ("Have llvm code generator","YES").
To make use of them properly without installing your brand new GHC HEAD system-wide, here is one possibility; add the following to your ~/.bashrc (or whatever you use, it's just about defining variables):
GHC613 = /home/alp/haskell/ghc/inplace/bin
And now, when you will want to install libraries via cabal for your new GHC, just execute commands close to the following (to install say the vector package):
$ cabal install vector –with-compiler=$GHC613BIN –with-hc-pkg=$GHC613PKG
And it will build and install the vector package using GHC HEAD and its library directories (in ~/.ghc/).
Moreover, if you want to build packages with the llvm backend, just ask cabal gently:
$ cabal install vector –with-compiler=$GHC613BIN –with-hc-pkg=$GHC613PKG –ghc-options=-fllvm
You can even chain options this way, passing for example -optlo-03. For more informations on that, check Don's posts:
- Smoking fast Haskell code using GHC's new LLVM codegen
- Evolving Faster Haskell Programs (now with LLVM!)
But be careful, -fvia-C and -fllvm aren't much friends, you may sometimes have to either edit the .cabal file of the package you want to install and removing -fvia-C from there, or via the –flags option of cabal install. For more informations, cabal help install.
Here are few links that you may find to be of interest:
- Home of the LLVM backend section of GHC's trac wiki
- The Building and Porting section of GHC's trac wiki
- David Terei's thesis about the LLVM backend for GHC [PDF] — thank you David !
I hope this post will be of help and that it will lead some of you to contribute to GHC !
HNN news
Indeed, HNN moved to haskell.org and is growing.
Firstly, the code is no longer evolving at github. There are at least 2 other persons working on HNN for the moment (Thomas Bereknyei and Jorden Mauro — thank you guys for joining the project) thus we decided it was high time having a bit more than a little github place. So we now have a darcs repository, a mailing list and a trac wiki / bug report system.
As said on the trac home page, we are rewriting HNN from scratch to make it more generic and efficient. We will of course still make the API as simple as possible, fitting one of the most important goals of the original version of HNN.
Stay tuned !

Some thoughts on Haskell library design
Few weeks ago, I released a first (experimental) version of my Haskell Neural Network library.
And since then, I have been thinking about the design of this library (and got some feedbacks from haskellers) : how to improve it, how to let people easily plug their stuffs in it, etc. In this post I'll try to share my thoughts about how HNN can be improved (without anything neural network specific). I hope it will somehow be useful to someone.
Typeclasses — "Is it really worth creating a typeclass for … ?"
Let's first replace this in its context. I like very much the typeclass feature of Haskell, I already used it for many things. But hey, HNN is a project for the Haskell community, I just can't throw some typeclasses in it without actually thinking about why it would be good, and why it wouldn't. Wouldn't it be overkill and thus make haskell code using HNN less nice ?
In my case, it is about the list-of-value storage. I started to store the weights and the inputs/outputs with lists of double. Pretty inefficient yeah, but I was rather prototyping than seriously writing the library. Then I moved to the uvector package, on Hackage. Way more efficient. But, you may wonder the following : "what would he do if we have an even nicer and more efficient container ?" — and you're right. For the moment, intern stuffs are stored in an UArr and I provide both a list-based interface and an UArr-based one. But, hell, it's already annoying to maintain both of these ! But I couldn't at that moment look at my code with enough hindsight to get the good and the bad and actually operate the necessary changes to make it for the release of the 0.1 version.
A possible plan for the next version is to have a typeclass representing Storage related functions, and instanciate it for UArr and List. Then I'd abstract the functions that I have to call differently for List, UArr and all in the Storage typeclass and thus would only require an instance of Storage to be given to the functions I need. This way, if you have some container in some other part of your project, or if you just want to have a more performant / specific container store your values, it'll be possible, provided you will give the necessary functions at the typeclass instanciation.
Now that I shared my reasonning path, yeah, obviously, there will be a typeclass for value storing. I even have some ideas about other uses for typeclasses, in particular one being suggested by Thomas Bereknyei : it would represent a computation. Why would it be interesting ? So that we could have complex computation units within neural networks, or interacting with neural networks. I'm particularly thinking of Kohonen Maps or recurrent neural networks.
About "exposed function granularity"
Maybe you already wondered whether you should expose few functions covering most of the tasks you library accomplishes or if you should rather provide many functions for little tasks. First, I don't think there's an universal answer to that question. It highly depends on the "combinatorial" capacity of the underlying concepts. For example, parsec provides many little functions because using parsec consists in combining these little functions to create more complex parsers. With neural networks, we don't have that much of a combinatorial power. I mean, you create your neural network, apply training functions on it, and then use it. And the library does not have (yet) enough maturity to provide features like neural network combinations or so. So what's the best for HNN ?
For the moment, we only have few functions doing almost all the job, giving them parameters to have the necessary flexibility to train the neural network with the smoothness we want, etc. I think it might be interesting to provide something similar to data structure folding for the neural networks, or even consider offering a graph-oriented interface (after all, that's what neural networks are) and provide graph traversal functions to operate on the neural network. The key point here is to – whatever way I choose – provide higher order functions to operate on the neural networks, in addition to the simple and straighforward functions we can find in the library for the moment.
I will try to introduce some typeclasses to offer more flexibility to the future users, the number one priority being for the value storage. In addition to that, I have to provide users functions offering them to do nearly anything they want on the neural network, like we have folds for lists, trees and all. If these both goals are satisfied in a close future, HNN should definitely be more interesting for serious use. Another point I have to consider is to offer even better performances since neural networks "just" compute stuffs. UArr helped a lot for that, but I'm pretty sure I can introduce other improvements on that aspect of HNN. I just need to read again some pages of the GHC manual 😉
I hope these thoughts will be useful to someone. At least, they have been to me.
HNN-0.1 has been released !
I just released the 0.1 version of my Haskell Neural Network library on Hackage.
Instead of writing a long blog post, I created a page on the Haskell wiki that you can find here : HNN describing what is HNN, how to get it, showing a sample and all.
There is an online version of the documentation here : hnn documentation
You can also consult hnn's hackage page : hnn at hackage (the documentation should be generated soon there)
Here is a sample showing how you can use HNN :
module Main where
import AI.HNN.Net
import AI.HNN.Layer
import AI.HNN.Neuron
import Data.Array.Vector
import Control.Arrow
import Data.List
alpha = 0.8 :: Double — learning ratio
epsilon = 0.001 :: Double — desired maximal bound for the quad error
layer1, layer2 :: [Neuron]
layer1 = createSigmoidLayer 4 0.5 [0.5, 0.5, 0.5] — the hidden layer
layer2 = createSigmoidLayer 1 0.5 [0.5, 0.4, 0.6, 0.3] — the output layer
net = [layer1, layer2] — the neural network
finalnet = train alpha epsilon net [([1, 1, 1],[0]), ([1, 0, 1],[1]), ([1, 1, 0],[1]), ([1, 0, 0],[0])] — the trained neural network
good111 = computeNet finalnet [1, 1, 1]
good101 = computeNet finalnet [1, 0, 1]
good110 = computeNet finalnet [1, 1, 0]
good100 = computeNet finalnet [1, 0, 0]
main = do
putStrLn $ "Final neural network : \n" ++ show finalnet
putStrLn " —- "
putStrLn $ "Output for [1, 1, 1] (~ 0): " ++ show good111
putStrLn $ "Output for [1, 0, 1] (~ 1): " ++ show good101
putStrLn $ "Output for [1, 1, 0] (~ 1): " ++ show good110
putStrLn $ "Output for [1, 0, 0] (~ 0): " ++ show good100
Output :

Thanks, and enjoy !
HNN : a Haskell Neural Network library
Few months ago, I started working on a neural network library, in Haskell. The result wasn't that bad, but needed some additional work. Past days, I've worked a bit on that code again to get a releasable and usable 0.1 version of HNN up and working. For example, the weights, inputs and outputs are of type UArr Double now (they were of type [Double] before).
You can find the source code there : http://github.com/alpmestan/HNN.
Also, I've built a minimal documentation. You can find it here : http://mestan.fr/haskell/hnn/.
To get the current code and test it :
$ git clone git://github.com/alpmestan/HNN.git
$ cd HNN
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
$ cabal install (to add it in your ghc package list, etc)
$ cabal haddock (to generate the documentation)
I plan to put this on Hackage soon, but I would like to get some feedback & reviews about it before.
Thank you !
Functional compile-time templates based type lists in C++
Have you ever heard about typelists in C++ ? That just consists in using the functional way of defining lists, but with templates.
It looks like that :
template <typename Head, typename Tail> struct TypeList { typedef Head head; typedef Tail tail; };
However, we'll need a type representing an empty type list. Ours will be the following.
struct EmptyList { };
How to write metafunctions (compile-time functions, working over types and not values — actually, the types are in this context like "values") for these type lists now ?
Let's start with a metafunction computing the length of a type list :
// declaration template <typename Typelist> struct Length; // the normal case : the head element of the list (it's a type), and the tail, which is itself a type list template <typename H, typename T> struct Length<TypeList<H, T> > { static const int value = 1 + Length<T>::value ; }; // the terminal case : our typelist is the empty list, we're at the end of the list, so we won't add 1 neither we will go on with the recursion template <> struct Length<EmptyList> { static const int value = 0 ; };
Now, calling it on a given typelist will return us the good result :
Length< TypeList<int, TypeList<char, TypeList<bool, EmptyList> > > >::value // equals 3
Do you want more ? I guess you do, of course. Let's tackle a more complicated one : Map. It maps a type list to another one, computing the result of the application of a metafunction on each type of the type list. Ok, let's start with the declaration.
template <typename TL, template <typename> class Func> struct Map;
Now, the basical case, with a head element and the tail, will consist in computing the result of the application of the metafunction of the head element, and appending to it the result of Map on the tail. Looks like that :
template <typename H, typename T, template <typename> class Func> struct Map<TypeList<H, T>, Func> { typedef TypeList< typename Func<H>::type, typename Map<T, Func>::type > type; };
And the trivial case, on the empty list :
template <template <typename> class Func> struct Map<EmptyList, Func> { typedef EmptyList type; };
And we're done with Map !
Let's see one more interesting function over type lists : Filter. It'll filter (really ?!) the type list according to a compile-time predicate, and return the original type list without the types that didn't match the predicate.
Here we go !
template <typename TypeList, template <typename> class Pred> struct Filter; template <typename H, typename T, template <typename> class Pred, bool result> struct FilterAux { typedef typename Filter<T, Pred>::type type; }; template <typename H, typename T, template <typename> class Pred> struct FilterAux<H, T, Pred, true> { typedef TypeList<H, typename Filter<T, Pred>::type> type; }; template <typename H, typename T, template <typename> class Pred> struct Filter<TypeList<H, T>, Pred> { typedef typename FilterAux<H, T, Pred, Pred<H>::value>::type type; }; template <template <typename> class Pred> struct Filter<EmptyList, Pred> { typedef EmptyList type; };
This one was trickier, because we needed an auxiliary template structure to have a bool against which we could specialize, to either go on without keeping the type in the type list (in case it doesn't match the predicate) or keeping it.
Now, I'll leave as exercise the following functions :
– Repeat : takes a type, a number, and returns a type list containing n times the given type
– Take : takes a type list and a number, and returns a type list contaning the first n elements of the typelist if possible, less otherwise.
– Interleave : it takes 2 two lists, say l1 = [T1, T2, T3] and l2 = [U1, U2, U3] and returns the list [T1, U1, T2, U2, T3, U3]
– Zip : takes two lists and returns a list of component-wise pairs of the types
– ZipWith : takes two lists and a function itself taking two types and returning a type, and returns a list compound of the component-wise application of the given function on both lists simultaneously
I'll try to post these during the upcoming days.
Good functional metaprogramming to all 😉

Episode 4 out of a 6 part special filmed in New Orleans, host Jeremy Chapman is joined by Office 365 Principal Service Engineer, Keith Laborde, to explain the latest FastTrack onboarding approach and demonstrate the new IDFix tool to help prepare for Single Sign On with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). With an emphasis on getting up and running quickly, then adding integration along the way, Jeremy and Keith will walk through the FastTrack approach and tools. Jeremy will also hit the streets of the Big Easy as he determines if it's faster to set up a demo environment with 100 users in Office 365 or on a local install of Exchange 2013.
Jeremy: In our last show we covered the very latest in data protection with eDiscovery and Data Loss Prevention across Cloud and Hybrid environments using SharePoint and Exchange. On this show we look at the newly-minted FastTrack process for getting started with Office 365. We just launched the http://fasttrack.office.com experience to help.
Keith: That's right. As part of the transition to services, the IT department can get caught in the middle. Some people have gotten used to Exchange migrations and getting to the desired end state before the service is even turned on. With Office 365, we saw a lot of people trying to deploy it almost like on premises software with all the hooks into Active Directory, local authentication services and hybrid configurations of Exchange running.
Jeremy: And the desire to get all of that integration running before you turn on the service would sometimes mean it might take several weeks to get started.
Keith: Exactly. So we wanted to build an approach that got Office 365 pilots up and running in a matter of hours, then layered in integration later. The FastTrack approach we developed has three phases:
1. Pilot,
2. Deploy, and
3. Enhance.
Each phase builds on the previous one, so you don't lose time configuring anything throwaway and you can experience Office 365 as you go.
The Pilot phase is really about signing up for an Office 365 trial account, setting up your pilot domain, adding users, connecting email accounts and setting up a team collaboration site for the pilot itself. The cool thing is that the site is actually pre-populated with training contents to help you prepare pilot users and run the pilot. This can take less than an hour to set up.
The Deploy phase is really about transitioning to a production service. Here you convert your trial tenant into a production tenant, set up your real domain (no longer using the default [companyname].onmicrosoft.com URL) including password synchronization, and start adding more users. At this point, you can also deploy Office 365 ProPlus desktop applications and build out SharePoint site collections and groups for the larger number of users. Everyone in the organization can start using Office 365 with their PCs, Macs and mobile devices. The Deploy phase will typically take a few days to set up.
The final phase is Enhance and this is where the higher end integration work is performed. In this phase, you can set up a single sign on experience with ADFS. You can also set up a hybrid architecture with on premises and online Exchange services, configure Exchange Online Protection and customize SharePoint services.
Jeremy: In the Deploy phase, you would configure Directory Synchronization manage user accounts. And Keith, you demonstrated a new tool called IDFix to help speed up the process. That tool helps identify any potential issues with Active Directory attributes and suggest ways to fix them.
Keith: And importantly you can also perform remediation as required to prepare your directory services and in cases where you may want to back out of any changes, IDFix has a way to revert changes at the object level. This tool should save a lot of time when integrating on premises Active Directory with Office 365 user account management.
Jeremy: We also took to the streets of New Orleans as Alistair Speirs and I tried to find out if setting up an Office 365 trial with 100 user accounts could be faster than building an Exchange 2013 demo environment. You'll have to check out the video to see how that turned out.
On our next show, we'll take a look at how all of the Office pieces are integrated together and I will head out to the Louisiana Bayou to test whether Office 365 can keep me productive even in the most dangerous and off-the-beaten-path settings.
We'll see you then!
Jeremy and Keith

Consistent support for financial decisions
For Danske Spil, financial planning and budgeting are no numbers game
With annual turnover exceeding US$2 billion and a surplus of more than $280 million, Danske Spil – Denmark's national lottery – is big business. And accounting for those big numbers is no game. So when it comes to financial planning, budgeting, consolidation and reporting, Danske Spil uses SAS.
SAS Financial Management extends budget transparency and consolidation throughout the company for on-demand decision support. H.C. Madsen, Danske Spil's CEO, starts each morning with an up-to-date financial overview shared with all employees via the company intranet.
Formerly, we had different figures that flew around the organization, which cost management valuable time to ferret out the truth. That is no longer the case, which is a great improvement.
H.C. Madsen
"Danske Spil is a part of retail trade, and so we must regulate our sales and finances from day to day with the same quick pulse found in retail stores," Madsen says. "We use the daily financial overview as a kind of GPS that tells us exactly where we are. Only if you have these facts in place can you make good decisions."
Each morning brings a fresh view of the latest consolidated key figures – sales, turnover and costs arranged by date, product and geography – delivered to Madsen's desktop and adapted for users throughout Danske Spil.
Fresh new look in the rear-view mirror
"It is important to know how the company runs, and these reports set the daily agenda for my colleagues," says Madsen. "A regular glance at the rear-view mirror is invaluable for good management."
Naturally, we also look forward. But data mining and advanced statistical analysis can find trends when you analyze a historical development."
Before implementing SAS, Danske Spil's finance department was snowed in under mountains of data, Madsen explains. "Now this knowledge is out in the organization, and no one has to plow through inch-thick reports and long spreadsheets," he says. "Now, our business managers have direct access to the answers they need without going through finance."
Reliable, insightful decision support is crucial for efficient operation and profit, which helps to fund Danish athletic and cultural programs.
"Our goal is to provide entirely accurate information using quality data based on financial reality," says Madsen. "There should be no doubt about the facts. The finance department will deliver totally reliable financial data for reports that withstand scrutiny and illustrate the financial impact of management decisions."
"Formerly, we had various figures that flew around the organization, which cost management valuable time to ferret out the truth," Madsen says. "That is no longer the case, which is a great improvement."
Provide accurate, reliable and consistent support for financial decisions throughout the organization.
Consistent, accurate support for better budget decisions; self-service access to reports for greater efficiency and quicker action.
