It's fair to say that just about everyone is starting small talk with:
"So, how's business?"
There might be an awkward pause, either from a competitive spirit or a don't-want-to-jinx-it superstition, or maybe even just because small talk is awkward. Our answer tends to be a light-hearted, knock-on-wood, "Pretty good."
And it is, but in all honesty it's taken a few months to say it with feeling. We've kept our heads down and our energy up as we have managed relationships, worked through budgets and made a case—for advertising and for ourselves.
It's worked.
We have one client debuting next week to a receptive and excited audience.
We had another client travel to London and sign Oxford.
We received word on Thursday that The Copperfield Inn Resort has named Trampoline Design as their agency of record.
The next day their website, elegantly designed by the team at Mannix Marketing, went live. Today we hosted a strategy session at our office regarding the opening of Lorenzo's, a new Italian restaurant helmed by Chef Stephen Topper.
The entire staff of The Copperfield Inn Resort is watching the countdown and looking forward to opening Lorenzo's doors.
Located in the heart of the resort, Lorenzo's will feature flair in the culinary prowess of Chef Topper and his team, while literal flare will be on display via a sort of cooking-in-the-round approach with a wood fire oven.
Next week we'll take the entire staff for a Copperfield Inn Resort experience and look toward a summer of doing what we love for a place that, quite frankly, is easy to love.
To the Adirondacks, The Copperfield Inn Resort and to being able to say with conviction, "Things are great."

Walls line up
in categorised tones,
sun flays them blind.
This post is inspired by the photo prompt vibrant and their quote from Khalil Gibran:
Let me, O' let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.
I thought immediately of some time I spent in Mexico, where even though it was winter the sun had a way of bringing out the colours. The next few days I'll post some vibrant photos and poems from this bright place.

Drew Curtis, Fark and a curry recipe database
Drew Curtis is the founder of Fark news site/aggregator that focuses on the absurd in life. With 60 million page views a month, 4 million unique users, 3 employees, 1 book and not a drop of venture capital, Drew has proved you can build a tech start-up to success in Kentucky. (Fark is now 10 years old). What follows is our wide-ranging conversation over beers at Marikka's, a local watering hole.In part 1 we cover the start of Fark and ventire capital, start-ups etc. In part 2 we will talk about new features for fark and various other topics.
Why did you start Fark?
Really it was an accident. I had been spending some time each morning e-mailing weird stories I had found, this was in 1995, to my friends. The first story in fact was about a US fighter pilot who crashed his plane in the Arizona desert and the reason for the crash was he had been trying to remove his flightsuit so he could moon another pilot and lost control.
When did you put up the website?
In 1999, but just really as a hobby. I had two ideas for a business one was Fark, the other was for a curry recipe database. At the time their was only one really good curry recipe database, death by curry and I figured their was room for at least two more but I chose Fark.
When did you know you had a business?
In 2000 we had about 1000 page views a day but the AD market had crashed so we just continued to limp along and in 2002 we had about 10,000 page views a day but again the AD market was crap in 2002and 10k was still too small for ADsand the ISP I had been running also crashed so I had a little extra time on my hands. We didn't have any money so we didn't spend any so we learned to get by without it.
You mentioned your ISP, so fark wasn't your first business?
No, out of college I had beenhired by the state of Kentucky as a database analyst for the personnel cabinet. They had a consultant working and he had installed PC anywhere so he could log-in remotely but he had been using that tolog-in at different times and make it look like he had been working.I discovered that in 3 months he had written only 8 lines of code. So needless to say he was fired and I finished the project in six months and then asked for a raise and they said no so I left and started a ISP with a friend. He knew how to configure the servers and I had a credit card so we bought all the equipment on that. That was a stupid thing to do.You read all the time about peole starting businesses using their credit cards which is stupid. I was stupid for doing it.
I have heard you talk about the fact that start-ups should avoid venture capital?
Yes, In general you should avoid investors when they are buying 1% or 51% of your business you lose control the day you take the money. Because of minority shareholder rights even the 1% holder can mess up your business. VC's are going to argue every point and every expenditure that you make. A tech start-up can do a lot to scae-up without the need for investors.
Can you give me an example?
Build your audience. You can slowly test the market, see if you can get users and build your audience so that when you raise money you have leverage. You can do a lot with little cash, We didn't have cash so didn't spend it and in fact we still operate the same way today.

April started off with some field work (spraying, stumping, and field cultivating) in preparation for planting.
Planting usually starts around April 15, depending on the weather. This year, we had quite a bit of needed rain (most farmers weren't complaining too much) that kept us out of the field most of the month. So, the guys worked on other projects - installing water meters, building a patio roof, and repairing shredders.
All of these black boxes are filled with seed corn and ready to go out to the field!
But at the end of the month....the tractors were sitting here.

It seemed like it took forever, until the last minute… I had been working with a Mamma out behind the school for several weeks. She kept talking like she was going to go into labor at any time. But day after day, week after week, we didn't have a baby. She said she really wanted a Valentines baby. She had told me that she was not going to the hospital because she had a bad experience with the last 2 children she had there. She said she would deliver at home with her husband's help. On Monday morning February 15th one of her children came into the school and said that her mom has been trying to get a hold of me since last night. She was having abdominal pain. Well she has been telling me that for a long time. I went out back to check on her. It didn't take long to figure out we were getting pretty close to having a baby. I ran back to my room and grabbed everything I might need and ran to the dark and hot little house. I barely made it back before she delivered a beautiful little girl!! She and mom were doing well and I was thankful there were no complications!
I am reported to be the god father of Faeka. Although this is an honor it's also a big financial commitment. I have been warned that if it becomes official I will be expected to pay for many of her needs as she grows up. I did not weigh her when she was born, which I really should have done. She had lost a fair amount of weight and was noticeable smaller after a few days. But after working with mom, some instruction, and a little time she has turned the corner and is gaining weight again!
I have been weighing her every other day and she is making good progress now. She will hopefully be back to about her birth weight soon (I am guessing about 7 ½ pounds). She had dropped to 5 pounds 12 oz. It's exciting to have a positive experience in Haiti with a child despite the lack of health care options.
Unfortunately, the day did not end on the high note it had started on. HERO Ambulance called and said they had a baby transport they were already doing and wanted to know if I could meet up with them or come to the hospital to help. I grabbed a few things and headed out the door. We were able to meet up with the ambulance about 5 minutes out from the first hospital. They had gone up to a little clinic and picked up a sick baby but the clinic also had a mom that was bleeding from a miscarriage. So both patients were loaded into the ambulance with some family and they were off to Port-au-Prince. I jumped in and made number 7 in the ambulance. We were the highest priority so we were the first stop at our first hospital but the mother had to go to a different hospital yet. This kind of situation is very much life in Haiti. Always trying to do a lot with a little.
The baby had been born in a local hospital 8 days ago by a complicated and traumatic C-section. She had not been doing well since she was born and her mother brought her to the community clinic as she continued to get worse. She was very sick and the clinic called for transport to Port-au-Prince right away. She was in respiratory distress, was very dehydrated, was hypoglycemic, and was hypothermic. By the time I got the story we were at the hospital. We went to work on her in the ER. She was not breathing well and was also not ventilating well with assistance, she needed IV access, she needed fluid, she needed glucose, she needed to be rewarmed. Everything flowed really well, almost like back home with the ER staff working side by side with the EMS Crew. I had my first Intubation (putting a tube into the lungs to breath for her) in Haiti, on an 8 day old.
We got everything done that could be done for her and she was admitted to the Ped's Unit. She was doing better for the moment but the long-term outcome looked rather bleak due to the amount of time that had passed before she was brought to help. The odds were stacked against her from before she was even born. Then medical system which she was born into let her down. It continued to play out after she was born when she was sent home, when what she really needed was help. Then, as she got sicker, the desperation of her mother not understanding her condition, not knowing if she should trust the hospital again, and not being able to afford the hospital again. It was just a really bad situation that plays out in Haiti every single day. Later that night I found out that she had passed away.
What a wide swing of emotions... From bringing an infant into the world in the morning to losing an infant that night. It was almost like the good had been overshadowed by the bad. Like at the end of the day we had only broke even.
Sunday (02-19-17) was a fun day! I went out with HERO Ambulance and helped cover a 10 K ocean swim race. It was called Swim For Haiti 2017. It was a new experience and an enjoyable time. And after 14 trips to Haiti I actually touched the ocean!
There was a 10 K and a 1.5 K swim. The 10K started on a small island off of La Gonave and finished at Wahoo Bay. We had 3 big boats for medical and support staff. We had 3 smaller motor boats patrolling and then they had hired a fisherman in a dugout canoe that stayed with each of the 50+ swimmers.
The day was fairly uneventful thankfully! It was nice to be able to help out this organization as they raised money and awareness for Haiti. There were swimmers from Haiti, Dominican Republic, France, USA, Australia, and El Salvador that I know of and probably were others. This included Naomy Grand'Pierre - the first Haitian woman to swim in the Olympics, competing in Rio.
On Monday morning (O2-20-17) the medical team that was staying at House of Hope came to help with our clinic. We had put out the word that we could see a lot of patients. We seen over 200 patients that day!! Things continue going well at our Monday clinic. It's a blessing to be able to help people that don't have any other access to medical care. We see some very poor patients and if they had to pay even a little bit (less than 1 dollar US) they could not afford to be seen where payment is required. In the same way on Tuesday's the malnutrition clinic is providing hope to so many who can barely provide for their children. The look of tremendous desperation that some of the mothers come in with that is transformed into Hope and Joy when they find out that there child now has a chance to grow up! Most of the mothers have already lost a child. Many to Malnutrition.
Saturday (02-25-17) I got a call from Stacy about a Medivac transport. She asked if I could help HERO with a "quick" transport from a hospital near the airport to the airport for a medivac to Miami with a burn patient. I headed to the airport to meet the crew and then to Doctors Without Borders where the patient was. Doctors Without Borders has a burn unit in Port-au-Prince. The patient was a female that had a propane explosion when she tried to light the stove. She was reported to have 95% of her body burned with 2nd degree burns. She was almost 6 days post injury before they were able to arrange the transport. Very long story short, after 8 hours and making the airport stay open 2.5 hours late for us, the patient was on her way to Miami. Praying this young lady will survive and have good recovery.
Carnival started last Sunday and went through Fat Tuesday, which was followed by the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. This gave the kids in the school a 5-day weekend. I enjoyed the break as well! Sunday, February 26th, was the first day since January 4th that I didn't see at least 1 patient. It was very nice to relax and watch a movie.
Just the other day I got an update on little Akanabelle from my last post. She has recovered from her aspiration pneumonia, is doing well, and was released from the hospital!! Thank-You for praying for Akanabelle!! It's always such a blessing to see positive outcomes in the daily struggle that is life for most Haitians.
Until No Child Dies,

Lobule VIIAt
From IACL
Revision as of 13:04, 27 February 2012 by John (Talk | contribs) (IACL:Lobule VIIAt moved to Lobule VIIAt)
Lobule VIIAt (Crus II)
- Location: Spans entire cerebellum about middle of the sagittal orientation
- Description: This lobule can first be identified and painted in the midsagittal and then the paint can be propagated laterally, can also be seen in the posterior axial slices.
- In the midsagittal region, there is an easy to define fissure separating this lobule and Lobule VIIIA.
- This fissure is primarily defined by the most dominate fissure between VIIAf and the prebiventure fissure, however determining which fissure qualifies can be difficult. Be patient and consider all perspectives and relavent regions of the scan in order to make the best decision possible.
- The best palace to discern this boundary is in the final figure below.

Salons & Sisterhood/
By: Sharine Taylor
There's an insufferable dance that we're willing to tolerate; induced by a tugging at the nape, with an aching neck that follows, we know it's a small sacrifice we burden for the anticipated pièce de résistance. Whether it be a silk press, braids, treatment for the ones who've gone natural or a weave sewn to our tops, we have a sacred space in our hearts—and heads—for the salons we call home. And it's never just about our hair either. We stay for the community, even the most loathed parts like the gossiping ladies or the boisterous children or the food runs that you always seem to miss. Nothing compares to the feeling that, quite literally, washes over you when you're under the water rinsing out all the bad: The bad from your never-ending week, the bad from your insensitive boyfriend or the bad from that job you'd rather not go to. It all goes down the drain as you re-emerge a new woman; a feeling you experience with other women who have the same desires for fresh beginnings by way of their hair.
Every second Saturday was for pampering. I was seven years old and my Auntie Kay was the most fabulous woman I knew. Myself, Auntie Kay and my cousin Wrae-Quel would walk out of our Trethewey basement apartment and onto Eglinton West greeted with the chaos that the busy Little Jamaica streets had to offer. Auntie Kay's nails were always manicured and her hair was always done; her go-to style was a bed of corkscrew curls adorning her crown, flowing right to her shoulders. Wrae-Quel and I would wait to see the finished product but what I loved and remember the most was how satisfying of a feeling it was seeing familiar faces; how all the other ladies would be out in the world, doing whatever it is that they were doing during the week, but would come to the same shop, at the same time, every second weekend without fail. That's how I felt when I watched Da Kink. I sat on the same couch at the same time every Sunday without fail to experience that same feeling: salons and sisterhoods.
Da Kink was the highlight to my Sundays and was everything I wanted in a show. I looked forward to the animated and colourful Joy Campbell (Trey Anthony), who reminded me of the bashment aunties back home. My younger self was always in awe with how Joy's sister, Novelette (Ordena Stephens), was able to use her maternal, intuitive abilities to channel her client's anguish. Retrospectively, I realized that it was - and still is - everything I needed from a show. It brought all the cultural nuances of life in Toronto as an Afro-Jamaican person to the forefront and affirmed our realities. It was comical but still had moments of depth and insight and, even more importantly, it reminded me of the connection Black girls and women had with their hair and the sanctuary that is the salon.
The same dynamics that foster itself in a real sisterhood take place in the salon too. There's likely a lady whose business you probably know too much of and there always seems to be a girl who should not have gotten that style in that colour. There's (finally) a moment where the music playing gets good or the television shows a program you're actually interested in...until someone changes the track, or complains about "this generation's music" or someone's auntie's screams of precaution drown out the character's dialogue on the screen. We don't get along—there's always that one girl—but we have a shared necessity to elevate ourselves through our aesthetics and that's what binds us, even if only for a moment. Peace and quiet are definitely not mainstays but comfort is, and it's why we return time and time again to have our crowns rebraided, re-pressed or retreated.
On Saturday mornings, my makeshift salon looks a little different now. It's usually in the living room of whatever apartment I'm renting and the destiny of my hair is in the hands of my cousin, Wrae-Quel. We, two Afro-Jamaican girls, are much older but we delve into nostalgia while old reggae tunes and dancehall mixes serve as our backdrop. Ten years later, I wish we could turn on Da Kink. It doesn't air anymore but I replace that wish with expired jokes and the satisfaction of knowing that this ritual between my cousin and I hasn't fazed out. Within a few hours, I feel refreshed—with a new hairstyle to match. Adopting my Auntie's style, the curls cascade from my head just past my shoulders.
Here's to laid edges.
Here's to feeling confident.
Here's to salons and sisterhoods.

Welcome to BOOKMARK, your very own Scottish Book Festival set in Blairgowrie, Rattray and The Glens of East Perthshire
Go With The Flow!
The motto of BOOKMARK is 'Go with the Flow'; a phrase which evokes the river Ericht that flows through the centre of Blairgowrie, our home. It's an encouraging and forward-thinking motto, reminding us that it is often a liberating thing to be free of concerns and constraints and to look ahead, not backwards. It suggests, rather than demands, that we should be caught up in the moment for our own good.
It seems to me that it's what Book Festivals are all about. Go with the flow of ideas from all the invited authors – don't just step into the stream of those you've heard of. Trust the direction of the current and meet new writers, new topics, new ways of thinking. Go with the flow and travel to other times, other countries, other ideas. Re-connect with the familiar by encountering the strange.
BOOKMARK is a unique Festival in a beautiful part of Perthshire. Let us celebrate all that it has to offer, step into that river of ideas and 'Go with the Flow'.
Gail Wylie
BOOKMARK Chair
BOOKMARK's STATEMENT
Patrons: Fiona Armstrong, Ken Cox, Rosemary Goring, Magnus Linklater
BOOKMARK, which began in 2012, brings the world of books to Blairgowrie, Perthshire and beyond. Writers and their readers engage with each other in friendly, well-organised events.
BOOKMARK organises not only a three-day Festival in October, but also holds local 'Meet the Author' events for adults and local schools. At all our meetings, for adults and children, readers meet, listen to and question writers.
BOOKMARK realises that readers defy categories therefore we invite writers from all disciplines: novelists, historians, poets, journalists, biographers – the list is as varied as the world of books itself.
BOOKMARK's October Festival is an engaging mix of household names and the up-and-coming; from prize-winners entertaining newcomers; what BOOKMARK promises is a first-class experience promoting the best of the world of books from Scotland and beyond.
BOOKMARK continues to grow in size and reputation. Our four distinguished Patrons are delighted to be associated with us; literary agents and publishers now contact us about possible author visits; increased funding from local sponsors is testament to their acknowledgement of the quality of our Festival.
BOOKMARK is a Festival with a future.

Would I have always liked their sickly smell?
And knelt down with my bum stuck in the air
To take a breath as deep as can retell
How my grandmother said to me one year:
Oh, but I've always loved the daisy's gentle scent!
I think of bees and summers happily spent.

We Don't Belong Here Movie Review
We Don't Belong Here
With nearly every actor either giving it their all or inhabiting their character to the point you just want to spend one on one time with them, it is frustrating this is an ensemble piece. For, outside of Madeline, there isn't one character here who you would be fine having cut for they all seem so essential. However, with there being no equal distribution of time for each one and their stories cut down to accommodate one another, the film leaves you frustrated in perhaps the best way possible.
There are lots of moving pieces in this story, but the family members desire and strength to overcome their life's situations and challenges provide the emotion of the movie. The numerous storylines don't appear to be presented to provide the additional plot, as much as to emphasize the depth and diversity of their challenges. Those with a desire for tightly intertwined and in-depth closure of all open story lines will be disappointed.
Kaitlyn Dever (Lily) was a standout in her ability to tell the story "through her eyes". Anton Yelchin (Max) carried the emotion weight of the movie and will be missed.
Dark family secrets are revealed in the edge-of-your-seat thriller, WE DON'T BELONG HERE, debuting on DVD and digital April 4 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Two-time Academy Award® nominee Catherine Keener (Best Supporting Actress: Being John Malkovich, 1999; Capote, 2005) leads an all-star cast in the story of a matriarch (Keener) of a dysfunctional family who is pushed to her tipping point by the disappearance of her son. Filled with edgy suspense that mystery fans won't want to miss, the film also stars the late Anton Yelchin (Star Trek franchise), Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road), Molly Shannon ("Divorce"), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) and Cary Elwes (Princess Bride).
Every family has secrets but the Green family is different – its secrets run deep. When Max (Anton Yelchin) goes missing, his mother (Catherine Keener) and three sisters (Riley Keough, Kaitlyn Dever, and Annie Starke) learn that a dark past haunts more than one of the Green siblings.
WE DON'T BELONG HERE was written and directed by Peer Pederson, produced by Annalise Dekker-Hernandez, Adam Gibbs, Michael Kristoff, Roger Pugliese and Peer Pedersen, Megan Griffiths, Lacey Leavitt, and Mary E. Quick serve as executive producers.
WE DON'T BELONG HERE has a run time of approximately 92 minutes and is rated R for language.

The following is an update on the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish regulatory process to certify a stream section "non-navigable" and allow private landowners in New Mexico who meet certain criteria to sign a stream segment as private. This information is provided by Dan Perry, of the New Mexico Habitat Conservation Initiative and a Lifetime Member of the Chama Peak Land Alliance, and has been lightly edited for clarity.
Recently the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMG&F) created a regulatory process to certify that a stream section is "non-navigable" for the purposes of N.M. Statutes Annotated 17-4-6. If that stream section is determined to be "non-navigable" as of 1912 (when NM entered the Union), and the landowner posts no trespassing signs and publishes notices as required by the statute, the landowner may prohibit uninvited individuals from entering his or her land through that stream.
NMG&F must determine if the stream section is "non-navigable" because that is the standard promulgated by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of PPL v. Montana (2010).
The NM Department of Game & Fish promulgated the "Landowner Certification of Non-Navigable Water" rule in Title 19 (Natural Resources and Wildlife), Chapter 31 (Hunting and Fishing), Part 22. This rule went into effect in late January this year.
In summary, a New Mexico landowner wanting to get his or her stretch of land certified under the rule must submit a written application to the Dept. That application must set forth some general data about the applicant and the section of land involved, including a map and title history back to 1912. The application for certification must give published notice for 3 consecutive weeks in a newspaper that is in general circulation in the area where the stream section is located. Then the applicant must provide "substantial evidence" that the stream section was "non-navigable" at the time NM achieved statehood in 1912. The Director then has 60 days to make a written determination. There are various procedures for how that determination is to be made. Either the landowner or a "person with standing" may appeal the determination to the district court. Once a determination of "non-navigability" is made, the landowner must comply with certain sign posting requirements.
I formed and am the President of the New Mexico Habitat Conservation Initiative ("NMHCI"). This entity qualified as a nonprofit by the IRS under Section 501(c)(4).
NMHCI commissioned from the Modrall Sterling law firm a detailed expert witness report that assesses the "non-navigability" of streams in NM in 1912. NMHCI will provide this report to qualified members of NMHCI, who will also be asked to contribute a non-tax deductible donation. The amount of the donation will vary depending on a variety of matters.
Each landowner applicant will probably also need the assistance of an attorney to draft and file the application, as well as put their supporting chain of legal title and related documents together as part of the application. However, a landowner could conceivably do this on his or her own. If there is an appeal to the district court, the landowner will almost certainly need to retain an attorney. I can provide a list of qualified attorneys to members of NMHCI.
I hope this information is helpful to you and the CPLA. Also, please let CPLA members know about the NMHCI, and that I am here to assist them if they wish to proceed with filing an application for certification with the NMG&F Department.
Dan Perry may be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com. The New Mexico Habitat Conservation Initiative is a 501(c)(4) organization which engages in the study and research of fish and wildlife, and develops and advocates for legislation, regulations, and government programs to protect the habitat of fish and wildlife in New Mexico.

4 Factors That Affect the Cost of Hyperion Support Services
Let's face it. Cost is a key factor in decision making — more often than not, it is the factor.
The cost to support and administer a Hyperion environment is expensive. Hyperion support services can remove the burden of human capital that is focused on non-business-driving administrative tasks and provide you with an alternative solution that fits within your budget.

This is a work in progress. It's bogged down because I had a neat idea of the evolution of structure in programming methodologies, which probably bears little resemblance to the real history of programming.
Computer programs have been required to do increasingly more varied things, with the result that their code has become increasingly complex. Consequently, the code has become very hard to maintain: a second programmer can't understand what the first programmer was doing with their code; the first programmer can't understand their own code a year later.
The conceptual development of programming languages followed this thread, to bring the code the programmer writes more in line with the concepts that are being modelled within the program.
"Intellectual manageablility" (Djikstra)
Code reusability
Heirarchical systems
Top-down design
Human-readable. Extreme examples: COBOL, AppleScript.
Various sorts of machines for specialized calculations go back to antiquity. (The Antikythera mechanism.)
In the late 1600s, ever more complex calculating machines came into fashion. (Pascal's calculator—an adding machine. Leibniz invented parts for calculators that could multiply as well.)
Babbage's Analytical Engine (designed ca. 1870, never built) was to take programs on cards; the mechanical state of the machine was the equivalent of memory.
Von Neumann—idea of putting program into memory rather than hard-wiring. (1945)
The lowest-level instructions the the CPU is to execute at each step can be thought of as integer numbers. Assembler languages simply re-codes these numbers into mnemonics. (Late 1940s.)
Typically, a new assembler language is developed for each CPU architecture.
Break complex program into a set of simple tasks, or procedures.
Procedures may be thought of linguistically as verbs.
Algol, FORTRAN, LISP, COBOL, BASIC
Associated data regarded as a single structure.
For instance, a rectangle might be modelled in a program as
four numbers,
Rather than storing these numbers at random in memory, in
structured programming, they are stored together as a
structure, which might be named
rect. The
rect can then be handled as though it
were a single entity, which is the way we were thinking of
the rectagle to begin with.
The interpetation of the data is thus represented in the code. The code refers to the structures as individual things, as nouns.
Dijkstra, E. W., "Go To Statement Considered Harmful", Comm ACM, Vol. 11, No. 3, March 1968, pp. 147-148
Dijkstra, E. W., Structured Programming, 1969
From: Federal Standard 1037C: Glossary of Telecommunications Terms
structured programming:
A technique for organizing and coding computer programs in which a hierarchy of modules is used, each having a single entry and a single exit point, and in which control is passed downward through the structure without unconditional branches to higher levels of the structure. Three types of control flow are used: sequential, test, and iteration.
Pascal, C
Extension of the procedural programming idea, with the capacity of a procedure to call itself from within itself.
Lisp, Pascal
Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I , John McCarthy
Rather than acting on data entities, think of data
entities as having behaviors. For instance, rather
than changing all the numbers in the
structure in order to move the conceptual rectangle, you call
on the
move behavior of the
Linguistically, these modules, as nouns, are now active. Rather than always being the object of the verbs (the data that procedures act upon), they can be the subject of a phrase.
In the modular programming methodology, one of the most important principles is encapsulation, whereby the data contained within a module is accessible from the rest of the program only via behaviors of the module. This makes it much easier to control what happens when data is modified.
D.L. Parnas, On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules Commun ACM, Vol. 15, No. 12, December 1972 pp. 1053-1058
In this context "module" is considered to be a responsibility assignment rather than a subprogram
Think of program as a the composition of a set of mathematical functions on some data. Data represented as local variables of functions. Assignment replaced with recursion.
Proceedings of the 1981 Conference on Functional Programming Languages and Computer Architecture, Portsmouth, NH, October 1981
Haskell, Caml,
We naturally arrange the things in our universe into classes, such as the class of all people. These classes can have sub-classes: the class of people contains the sub-class of all women. Classes may be said to inherit properties and behaviours. Women have hearts because people have hearts; women cry because people cry (and people cry because primates cry, etc.)
Object-oriented methodologies are an extension of modular ones, the additional ingredient being inheritance. With this ingredient, the code can refer directly ot kinds of interactive things.
In object-oriented programming, concepts are modelled in code directly using the ideas of classes and inheritance. A particular member of a class is called an object.

Katie grew up with artists around her, her grandfather and aunt were both painters which is why she thought when she was younger that she would also become one. As she got older though she did transition into hair and fell in love with it as well! She loves working at Suki's because of the people that are there with her. They have created such a positive environment to be around, they're disciplined when needed but also know how to have fun.
Mountains, lakes, cities, her home, really anything is what inspires her every day to become better professionally and personally. She says inspiration is like happiness, it matters how you think rather than where you are.

A family session in Mdina
Hi! Hope you had a lovely long weekend!
Personally I had such a fun weekend, hubby came back from his business trip in Las Vegas, I had 2 shoots and we had great summer weather (well at least if you are a Swede in Malta, not used to these warm summers :). I actually took the first swim (or should I perhaps say dip) in the pool for 2017, go me!
Ok back to this session :). I visited Mdina a few weeks ago (I pass it pretty much everyday driving my youngest one to school, can't believe it took me five months to visit...) and fell in love with the history of the buildings and thought to myself, "this is the perfect place for a family session with young children".
So the first family photo shoot in Mdina is done, folks!
I met Catherine and Richard and cutest Ella last Sunday morning and after trying to find somewhere to park the car (who knew that there was a Sunday market in Rabat that day blocking the ONLY road i knew where to find a slot...) and pretty much running (oh well, walking really fast then) to meet them, you know us Swedes, we hate to be late!
It was a still Sunday morning, the people of Malta had not yet woken up, which gave us plenty of room (as much room you can have in an alley of course) to be playful and just enjoy the moment. And that's what my photo sessions really are, a playful time where you spend time together as a family, no fake smiles here!
Ella did such an amazing job, being a model for the first time and you can really see that this is one loving family ♡
This is just a sneak peak from this session, more photos is coming up, so stay tuned!
Wishing you a lovely Tuesday,

Your schedule is one of the tools that you use to optimize your productivity. And when you schedule time to reflect you are NOT being unproductive. In fact, you're giving yourself a gift. Your productivity always boils down to your time choices, and you make better choices when you reflect on them!
Review, Reflect, and Renew: Some Favorites for Finding Time
A review of the past always deepens the present and informs the future. And when it comes to time management, finding time for this sort of review takes a moment now, but greatly enhances your efficiency and effectiveness as the hours and days unfold. Here at The Time Finder, we always look back and review…
Slow Down, Savor, and Deepen Your Life in Time
"Slow down, you move too fast; you've got to make the morning last …" Remember that song from the '60's? Finding time to slow down – or to "stop and smell the roses" – might be advice that feels so familiar that it seems like a cliché. But there's a great deal of wisdom there. It can be a challenge,…
Reflection Time: Regroup, Rejuvenate and Welcome Spring!
Reflection time is one of the most important gifts you can give yourself. But it can be a challenge for busy people to find time for reflection. That's because, on the face of it, this doesn't feel or look like productive time.
Experience As Teacher: Reflection Time Opens the Door!
Experience is an excellent teacher – but only if you find time to reflect on your experience and integrate it. You've probably heard the saying about history and how it repeats itself if we don't learn from it. The quote is from the philosopher George
Energy, Pace and Productivity: Flexibility Helps You Find Time
Flexibility is a key component in your time finding tool box. Self-awareness, coupled with flexibility allows you to pace yourself and boost your productivity in response to your needs, circumstances, and energy levels.
Reflection Time on Day 12 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge #UBC
Reflection time is vital to your success, whether you're a blogger, a parent, a small business owner, a student … you name it. Whatever your passions and priorities may be, pausing to reflect gives you a chance to put your feet on the ground, reconnect with yourself, and

Redhill Manufacturing was established in 1977 in Redditch, near Birmingham, focussing on manufacturing sack trucks and platform trucks, with four employees, operating from a 1,600 square foot unit on South Moons Moat Industrial Estate.
Over the years, Redhill has increased staffing levels and steadily expanded its range and production capacity, moving to larger 16,000 square foot premises at the same site and continued to enjoy substantial growth, in recent years, doubling the size of its operation to 31,000 square feet.
From trucks and trolleys to drawer systems and work benches, designed, manufactured and assembled by highly skilled craftsmen, the purpose-built premises in Redditch now produces over 3,000 standard products, as well as bespoke design, all made to the highest UK quality standards.
One of these products in the news: the snow plough
Forecasters have issued early weather warnings for sub-zero temperatures and snow across the entire UK through November and December, predicting the worst winter in half-a-century – icy roads, slippery paths and driveways.
Redhill's range of durable pushalong snow ploughs will help to tackle the winter weather and create a safer working environment. They will save the user a huge amount of time and effort as larger areas can be cleared relatively quickly. The angled ploughs allow snow to easily slide off the blade and the simple design enables removal of snow while keeping the body in an upright, walking position, rather than relying on the strength of the lower back.
To cover larger areas consider acquiring Redhill's mountable snow plough (above), which provides a 15-degree blade and will attach to fit most forklift trucks, complete with a rubber strip lining to reduce wear.

- Ascendas Hospitality Trust's 2Q19 results in line; boosted by contributions from recent acquisitions and lower interest costs.
- Australia operations hazy in the near term given new supply.
- Strategic refurbishments to keep hotels competitive and attractive to guests.
- Potential upside from acquisitions.
Buy Low, Sell High
- We maintain our BUY call with a Target Price of S$0.98.
- Ascendas Hospitality Trust's (ASCHT) management has demonstrated the ability to buy low and sell high as seen by the sale of its Beijing hotels at more than twice the book value, exit yield of 3.6%, and redeploying the proceeds into properties with net property income (NPI) yield above 4.1%. However, this value add has not been recognised with ASCHT's still trading 24% below our fair value.
- Attractive yields of 7.3%-7.6% provides support to share price.
Where We Differ: (DBS Is the Sole Broker Covering the Stock) - Misunderstood Stock
- Ascendas Hospitality Trust's (ASCHT) has been ignored by many investors due to its small market cap and its large exposure outside Singapore.
- We believe the stock offers compelling value, as its key markets of Australia (c.50% of FY18 NPI) and Japan (c.25%) are in a secular uptrend, thanks to the low penetration of international visitors. For example, a small country like Singapore attracts 16m visitors annually versus Japan and Australia with 24m and 8m, respectively.
- We maintain our DCF-based Target Price of S$0.98. With 31% total return (24% capital upside and 7.3% yield), we reiterate our BUY call.
Key Risks to Our View
- Key risks to our positive views are large falls in the AUD/JPY and excess supply in ASCHT's respective markets, resulting in downside risks to our DPU estimates.
What's New - Robust Results Despite Headwinds
2Q19 DPU of 1.42 Scts (+2.8% y-o-y) – IN LINE.
- Ascendas Hospitality Trust's (ASCHT) 2Q19 gross revenue and NPI fell 11.9% and 7.5% y-o-y to S$52.7m and S$22.1m, respectively. This was mainly due to the ongoing challenges faced by the REIT's Australia operations due to increasing supply competition, coupled with the weakness of the AUD vs SGD exchange rate. The full quarter's contribution from the recent acquisition of a hotel in Seoul has helped to partially offset the weaker performance.
- Distributable income increased 3.6% y-o-y, mainly on interest cost savings and partial distribution of proceeds from the divestment of the China portfolio, resulting in 2.8% y-o-y growth in DPU to 1.42 Scts.
- Overall, 1H19 DPU of 2.73 Scts (+2.9% y-o-y) – based on a 93% payout of distributable income - formed 47% of our FY19F estimates.
Softness in Australia offset by improved rent structure anchors resilience ahead.
- NPI fell 19.9% y-o-y to S$10.3m, partly dragged by the softer AUD which weakened by 7% y-o-y against the SGD. In Australia: RevPAR was down 4.7% y-o-y in 2Q19 as average daily rates (ADR) were lowered to defend market share, and as such, the occupancy rates for its hotels in Sydney remained strong at 90% while achieving mid-80% levels across its hotels in Melbourne and Brisbane.
- Upcoming 2019 elections is a dampener on business travel but initiatives in place to increase competitiveness and drive performance, particularly in the leisure segment. In addition, the refurbishment of the café at Pullman and Mercure Brisbane are ongoing, and the proposed refurbishment of rooms in Novotel Sydney will commence in 2019.
Japan: Hampered by poor weather conditions, but otherwise resilient.
- RevPar was down 5% y-o-y as the Japan market was dragged by the earthquake and typhoon in Osaka.
- Notwithstanding disruptive weather conditions, NPI held relatively steady (-1.6% y-o-y) at S$5.9m in 2Q19.
Higher contributions from Korea and Singapore.
- NPI from the Korea market more than doubled q-o-q to S$0.9m in 2Q19 on the first full quarter contributions from Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemum, which was acquired in May 2018. Whilst variable rents have yet to kick in, the hotel delivered strong underlying performance with RevPAR growth of 8.9% y-o-y.
- Back home, Park Hotel Clarke Quay continued to ride on the recovery in the local hotel sector. RevPAR in Singapore improved 2.5% y-o-y, driving a 3.9% increase in NPI to S$3.4m
- Enhanced rent structure improves earnings visibility. Following the divestment of the China portfolio, which was under a management contract, and initiation of a master lease contract for the newly acquired hotel in Seoul, the proportion of master lease vs management contract based income rose from 38% in 2Q18 to 50% in 2Q19.
- Ahead of the bottoming out of the Australia market, we believe that the improved income visibility under the current balanced rent structure enhances stability, which bodes well for future distributions.

Insolvency profession helps rescue 2-in-5 insolvent businesses and 230,000 jobs
The UK's insolvency profession helped rescue approximately two-in-five insolvent businesses* in 2013-14, according to research by ComRes and R3, the insolvency trade body.
The research found that R3 members helped around 6,700 businesses (41% of formal insolvencies*) continue trading in some way after entering insolvency, helping to save around 230,000 jobs.
Phillip Sykes, President of R3, says: "There is much more to insolvency than business or personal finance failure. As the economy continues to recover from recession, business recovery and renewal will be an important part of the economic landscape."
"Insolvency practitioners witness first-hand the human cost of business failure and will make every effort to protect jobs where possible. The sooner insolvency practitioners' advice is sought, the more chance there is of business and job rescue. The insolvency profession is increasingly helping businesses outside of formal insolvency procedures too."
In total, around 10,400 businesses continued operating after working with the insolvency profession, either benefitting from support in a formal insolvency or working with the profession to avoid insolvency. These businesses employed approximately 540,000 after receiving support.
The profession also provided advice to around 135,000 people about their personal finances.
Phillip Sykes adds: "The insolvency profession is there to ensure a balance between creditors and debtors. Insolvency practitioners have a responsibility to creditors to make sure they are repaid as much of their money as possible, and help make sure businesses and individuals do not get away with reckless or fraudulent racking-up of debt."
"The next five years could see key changes to the insolvency landscape. Household debts are rising again, while the current climate of creditor forbearance, record low inflation, and record low interest rates may not last. Problem debt is a major policy issue for the new Government; the insolvency profession has a unique insight into the effects problem debt has – and, importantly, how it can be tackled."
The research also found that, last year, the insolvency profession was set to help individuals repay £5bn in debts to creditors over the next five years.
There are around 1,750 insolvency practitioners in the UK, with around 12,000 people employed in various roles within the insolvency profession.
UK insolvencies peaked in 2009 with 26,000 business insolvencies and 160,000 personal insolvencies; by 2014, business and personal insolvencies had fallen to 18,000 and 114,000 respectively.
*Insolvencies where an insolvency practitioner was appointed (approx. 85% of formal insolvencies)
- ComRes surveyed 448 insolvency practitioners across the UK, all of whom are members of R3. The interviews were conducted online between 9th October and 14th November 2014 as part of the regular R3 membership survey. The results have been used to extrapolate and model all IPs in the UK, as R3's membership encompasses the majority of all IPs in the UK. Throughout this report, we have assumed that R3's membership is representative of all IPs in the UK.
- ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. Data tables are available on the ComRes website, www.comres.co.uk.

A Guided Tour of Salzburg with Klangkarussell
We travel to Salzburg as we take a guided tour of the city with Klangkarussell.
Check out more of our city guides
It's a world heritage city, the home of Mozart and known for it's Baroque architecture. Salzburg is not exactly the most modern of Western European cities, but if you love the nostalgic feeling of 18th century Europe, then it's the place for you. Surrounded by the Alps, and located on the Austrin/German border, Salzburg, may not be the biggest or known city in the world, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in culture.
Klangkarussell, on the other hand, are house producers who are known and have great authority in the house scene. With over 200,000 followers on soundcloud, they are heavyweights when it comes to producing music that people like.
Keep up to date with all of Klangkarussell's activities on Soundcloud | Facebook | Twitter | Website
Where's your preferred place to chill and clear your head?
The Untersberg is a very nice place to chill; it's a magic mountain. The Dalai Lama says it's "the heart chakra of Europe". We have lots of nature in Salzburg where you can chill, like the lakes Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee. I also love the area around Sportgastein, it's one hour away from the city, very beautiful and part of the national park Hohe Tauern.
Where serves the best breakfast?
Hangar 7
Where's your favourite place to have a quiet drink?
Hotel Untersberg, it's at the foot of the mountain and a friend of mine owns it. So this is where I usually go ;)
Where's your favourite place to have a messier night?
It was a club called The Cave Club. Unfortunately it's been closed for a while now but it was very famous for electronic music. It was built into a mountain called Mönchsberg (monks mountain). Now Soda Club or Republic are the best options music wise.
How would you describe your city's style?
It's very traditional, I wouldn't say Salzburg has a great taste in fashion... Sure, you can find some well dressed people everywhere. But its not exactly the capital of fashion.
Where are your favourite places to shop?
Salzburg is very small. There are some shops in the Linzergasse and there is a Shoppingmall called Europark. I would recommend going some other town for shopping though.
What song sums up your city?
Krs One- The Sound of da Police. Salzburg is free from crime so the police gets bored and annoys us innocent young people all the time :)

Finishers are a great way to complete your training on any given day. Depending on what you select, you can bring up weak points by improving work capacity.
One of the keys about conditioning is that we are generally pushing the body pretty hard. So, you expect to see some break in form, but you need to know what is acceptable failure in form and what isn't.
For example, if I were having an athlete perform a shuttle run, unacceptable failure would be when we reach ANY biomechanical failure - we can only condition as long as we're being safe - acceptable failure would be from the standpoint of the aerobic system (times get a bit slower) or because the muscles start "burning" and times slow.
Once failure of form is reached - and this applies to conditioning scenarios as much as lifting - the set must stop immediately.
The other rule is that we don't want to burn in movement patterns that - while they may be highly unlikely to cause injury - are an incorrect pattern we are working on correcting through other parts of our training. A great example is the push-up. Push-ups are often butchered resulting in way too much strain on the lower back and shoulder than they should when done with "perfect" form.
If your push-ups don't look like the ones in the video, then you are probably not ready for Depletion Push-ups. To get some tips on how to troubleshoot your push-up, check out SAPT's guide to Diagnosing the Push-up.
Depletion Push-ups + 90-Second Negatives
This sweet little combo of Depletion Push-ups + 90-Second Negatives are best used for areas of the body that are already fairly strong. If you're just learning to keep your hips elevated and hold a brace, this would not be a recommended finisher.
I think this is a perfect variation for athletes who may lack work capacity in the upper body, but can solidly hold a brace for… well, close to forever. Since it's easier to control the body as it's lowered to the ground, we can still accumulate a ton of volume to improve work capacity if the upper body.
Add more sets: starting with one set of :90 is often plenty, but you can add another 1-2 sets to get even more volume. Keep rest times minimal.
Add weight to the back to increase difficulty: using a plate, chains, weight vest, or even making these band resisted will ramp up the challenge.
Full Depletion Push-ups: once you've maxed out progress on the negatives and are certain your form is excellent, go ahead and remove the emphasis on the slow negative to knock out as many push-ups as possible with PERFECT form for 1-3 sets of 90-seconds.
Give these a shot if you feel like you're ready! I bet you will be surprised with all the muscles that get involved and get sore the next day.

For someone who basically has a camera glue to her face, there is a surprising lack of pictures framed in my apartment. No laughing candids of dinner parties, no backlit flowers on a windowsill—just one single, wide-angle shot of a bend in the road in Big Sur. It was taken off the side of Pacific Coast Highway and somewhere, just outside the frame, is my Honda Civic stuffed to the gills with comforters and flowy Free People tops that I had just packed-up from my beachside attic bedroom. The photo is a basic landscape, really—mostly made up of turquoise water and yellow scrub brush. I framed it to remind me that life is surprising and that sometimes, when we are very lucky, the future is better than we know to hope for. I look at it and I know that on the other end of that road is an old craftsman house and a new best friend, a local dive bar and a mountain home-town. It was all waiting, right on the other side; I just had to get there.
Big Sur was midway between the city I was leaving and the city where I would end up. Behind me was San Diego, a true dream of a place, and all the glittering blue hours on beach-house rooftops. But after graduation, there was less of that left and my last remaining link was the coffee shop.
For the last semester of college, I worked in a little red café along the harbor in Point Loma. The neighborhood wasn't far, but it was completely cut off from the beaches where we all lived as students. I would open the shop at six AM, and as the sun rose so did the sailors who slept on their boats in the harbor. They would walk up the marina into my coffee shop—or, at least it felt like mine. The actual owner lived in Hawaii and managed us through a nanny cam. Her live-stream had no sound so I'd switch out the Putumayo World Music she'd instructed us to play and put-on Motown while I baked that morning's muffins.
When June came around it wasn't a surprise, everyone knew I was leaving. But, during my last week of work one of the regulars offered me a place to stay so I could start a second phase of my life in San Diego. "Well…" he said "you could live on our boat?" and I knew it wasn't an empty offer. But, I was packed and my heart was pulling towards Portland, and a few days later I was on the roadside snapping that photo of Big Sur.
I've often found that fate gives me a ripcord—a final "are you sure?" just before I change course. I've yet to take it, but it seems so profoundly unfair that life can only be lived in one direction. Sure, we can diverge and try it again; choose a path we once rejected. But, that isn't really starting over. It's more of "the long way"—an extended journey to a similar path—which may or may not have the same destination.
Given the chance, I'd choose Portland again. I'd choose Portland a million times over. This place was so necessary for me and for nearly every good thing that I now have in my life.
But lately I've felt flickers of that final chance, in salty skin and tired sailor eyes and a picture of a boy that I met in Central Park standing on the stern of a sailboat like a Kennedy. I've been looking out the window from the hostess stand here in Portland. I see the boats bob in the harbor and I wonder.

- Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts is entering a contract year after two average seasons as a starter. Shoddy quarterback play can partially be to blame but he should have no issues this year as Jacksonville is expected to draft one in the early rounds. Just 26, Shorts is still a dynasty buy for me.
- Lions running back Mikel Leshoure is skipping workouts in the hopes of getting out of Detroit. He's a clear #3 on the depth chart and is hoping to catch on a #2 somewhere else. Chances are slim that happens.
- Cowboys running back Lance Dunbar is ready to go for 2014 as DeMarco Murray's backup. Murray has a spotty injury history so it's likely Dunbar will see some significant playing time, if he can stay healthy himself.
