Will Congress Welcome Russia into the WTO?
Next week trade officials representing the more than 150 members of the World Trade Organization will gather in Geneva for a ministerial meeting. Most of the agenda will be a snoozer. The Doha Round is stuck in neutral, with no compromises in sight on agricultural protection, services trade liberalization, or anti‐dumping reform. But one item of business will mark a major milestone: the admission of Russia into the club of trading nations.
As I argue in a Washington Times column this morning, and in a Cato Free Trade Bulletin co‐authored with Douglas Petersen and released this week, Russia's entry into the WTO will help to bring more rule of law to the former communist nation. It will also open its market further to U.S. exports, especially civilian aircraft, heavy machinery, computer software and hardware, and beef and poultry.
Approval by WTO members is a near certainty, but what remains an open question is whether the U.S. Congress will grant Russia permanent normal trade relations (PNTR). This will determine whether U.S. companies are granted the more favorable access to Russia's market offered to other WTO members once it joins the organization. If Congress does not grant PNTR, Russia will join the WTO anyway, but U.S. companies will be at a competitive disadvantage.
In coming weeks, Congress will have an opportunity to welcome one of the world's largest economies into the rules‐based global trading system—and benefit the struggling U.S. economy in the bargain.

Epilogue, Part Six: As told by Weston January 25, 2016 at 12:01 am
These are subjective scenes, now, as told by West, his narrative. Not sure if we want to alter the palette to reflect that or… eh?
We're back on the rooftop from the end of Chapter 13, looking past SABRE as she sits between LIGHT and STONE. Angle down to where DRUM and DRAKE are now clapping the irons around PAYNE'S wrists.
1. CAPTION/West: "…just prior to Mister Payne's arrest at the hands
of Marshall Drake and Deputy Drum."
2. CAPTION/Giselle: "I know about that, West."
On SABRE, hand on her belly, wincing as she continues to bleed.
LIGHT and STONE are on either side of her, watching the activity below, still greatly amused.
3. CAPTION/West: "Then you can enlighten me when it's your turn,
Giselle, but for now, shut your mouth with some
food and open your ears. You're the one who
4. CAPTION/West: "So she'd taken the steel, and you can add to that
smoke from the fire that took Pegasus, and any
number of other things…
STONE and LIGHT each turning to look at SABRE, a mix of surprise and alarm, as SABRE passes out. It's more a comic beat than a traumatic one.
5. CAPTION/West: "…it all came to be accounted, as one might

At 63, Elnor Smedley seems an unlikely target for a video game industry that zeros in on acne-prone adolescent males.
These days, though, the silver-haired grandmother of five is the belle at a billion-dollar ball thrown by video game companies eager to court mainstream consumers via the World Wide Web.
Microsoft Corp., Sony Corp., Vivendi Universal and Electronic Arts Inc. are among several companies pouring vast amounts of money into online games. It's a bid to both broaden the appeal of video games and establish long-term revenue streams through subscriptions to a constantly updated cache of games.
That strategy of selling digital fun as a service is the current rage among software and entertainment companies searching for ways to make money on the Internet and move beyond one-time sales of shrink-wrapped music and movies.
"Games take a long time to build," said Erick Hachenburg, chief operating officer for EA.com, which in February paid more than $40 million to acquire Pogo.com. "And we've been making the investments to build them. We believe people will pay for online games."
For now, the games are free and the sites are supported by online ads. But with online advertising dollars at a nadir, game sites desperately need other sources of revenue.
"The model is cable TV," said Stan McKee, EA's chief financial officer. "Years ago, people asked why anybody would pay for cable when they can get broadcast TV for free? The reason was that cable TV offered content that wasn't available anywhere else."
McKee predicted that EA.com's rate of loss will ease once it begins broadcasting games such as "Majestic" and "Harry Potter Online."
The riskiest game in the lineup is "Majestic," a conspiracy game in which players solve a mystery with clues delivered via e-mail, phone calls and faxes. Already several months behind in production, the game's four monthly "episodes" are due out sometime this summer. The fall will bring another lineup of games, including "Motor City Online," a game that lets players buy, collect and trade virtual cars.

After the feast, the slide-out pans, the cutting board and the condiment tray come inside for cleaning while the cart stays outside with your grill.
What You'll Need
Barbecue Cart Plans (PDF, 1.3MB, requires Adobe Reader) Our cart is built of vertical-grain red cedar, a rot-resistant wood that's easy to work with. To build exactly what we've got here, you will need a table saw and, ideally, a portable planer. Those attractive red cedar slats that form the shelves start out as ½-inch-thick pieces ripped from a cedar 2 x 4 using a table saw. They are then planed or sanded. You'll also need a biscuit joiner to bind the top pieces and a router to put a gentle curve on each slat edge and around the hole in the cutting board.
That's a lot of equipment to build a little cart. Suppose you don't own those tools—simplify. Use a circular saw and edge guide and substitute dowels or pocket screws for biscuits. To avoid planing, make the slats from 1 x 2 cedar or have an old-fashioned lumberyard plane the material for you.
Step 1: Clamp, Then Screw
Crosscut the parts for the three frames. Clamp the parts together and bore countersunk pilot holes. Apply waterproof glue to the joint to add a little strength and to seal the end grain. Next, drive 1¼-inch galvanized or stainless-steel screws into each joint.
Step 2: Install The Legs
Crosscut the two rear legs, apply waterproof glue to the joint and fasten the legs using 1¼-inch screws driven into pilot holes.
Step 3: Add Safety
Make a knife shield from two pieces of acrylic plastic cut to shape with a jigsaw. Drill and countersink three screw holes into each piece. Then screw one to the outer surface of the upper frame. Attach the other to the inner surface of the wood handle.
Step 4: Hide The Screws
Fasten the cart's wood handle to the upper frame with glue and deck screws. Drive the screws from the back so they'll be hidden. Make sure that the square end of each handle is flush with the rear legs.
Step 5: Dowels Make Knife Slots
To create five partitions to hang knives, start by drilling six holes through the upper frame and both acrylic panels, and into (but not through) the wood handle. Insert a dowel into each hole, then trim it flush.
Step 6: Rip The Slats
Rip the slats from a cedar 2 x 4 and sand or plane them smooth. Shape their top edges with a router and a rounding-over bit. Using a pneumatic finish nailer, fasten the slats to the frame, spaced 5/8 inch apart.
Step 7: Build The Top
Rip and crosscut the top parts and test fit the cutting board in it. Next, use glue and biscuits to assemble the top and clamp the assembly. Screw the cleats to the bottom of the assembly.
Step 8: Add Runners
With the cart upside down, screw on the runners, which will support the two stainless-steel pans.
Step 9: Fasten The Backsplash
Rip and crosscut the back-splash from a cedar 1 x 8, then cut the gentle top curve using a jigsaw. Finally, fasten it by driving deck screws through pilot holes into the back of the top assembly.

Complesso Museale di Santa Chiara
Via Santa Chiara, 49/c - Tel. 081.5521597 - Sito web: www.santachiara.info
The basilica and the monastery of Santa Chiara were built between 1310 and 1340 on a Roman thermal complex of the first century d.C. Originally built in Provencal gothic style, Antonio Vaccaro widely renewed it in baroque style. The 1943 bombing started a fire that almost totally destroyed the Church. Before the facade you find a three ogival arched pronaos; the middle one frames the red and yellow marble portal with the Sancias coat of arms. The rose window on the top was opened during the renovation. Today the inside is an only rectangular nave, austere and no transepts with 10 chapels on each side. The Complex , within the Franciscan citadel includes the Opera Museum, the Archaeologic al Area, the majolica tiled cloister and he eighteenth century Nativity scene Hall. The Museum tells the working facts and the historical-artistic development of the Franciscan monastic citadel. Inside many different finds coming from the Church, the Cloister and the Monastery are on display. In particular, the rooms show the materials survived to the fire that distroyed the Church in 1943. Salvo dAcquistos body awaiting for beatification is kept there.

Check out the Women of Color and Beauty Carnival on the yennenga LJ community. This looks like an awesome carnival, and I'm really excited to read all the linked posts. You'll recognize Julia's excellent post at Fatshionista, which we've been discussing around here; some of her posts on LJ are linked as well. Via Racialicious (which, seriously, is such an outstanding blog. If you're not reading it regularly, bookmark it right now!).
I'm not following the Olympics this year for a lot of reasons, but if you are you should check out these two excellent posts on SP fave Hoyden About Town. Lauredhel writes about the unbelievable difference between the uniforms of male and female athletes in the same sports (example below). Meanwhile, Tigtog posts about the heartbreaking news that two little girls were exploited in the opening ceremonies for the sake of a beauty ideal: one sang behind the scenes, while in front of the audience a "cuter" girl either lip-synched or sang without knowing her mike wasn't on. The girls are 10 and 9 years old, respectively. (In the US, of course, they'd be part of the "starter market.")

For a playwright who described music as 'the food of love' it is little wonder Shakespeare has inspired so many composers. Prompting operas by Adès, Bellini, Berlioz, Britten, Gounod, Purcell, Rossini, Thomas and Verdi, as well as several ballet scores – to say nothing of a certain musical by Leonard Bernstein – Shakespeare's impact on the world of music has been enormous.
No composer has yet to prove more fanatical in his love of Shakespeare than Verdi, although he had significant local precedents. The earlier operas were, however, rather more loosely based upon the work of Shakespeare: Rossini's Otello came from a modern French adaption of the play's source material, while Bellini's I Capuleti ed i Montecchi had little to do with the Englishman's drama.Verdi decided to be more thorough and went back to the originals via reliable Italian translations.
Despite never having seen Macbeth on stage, Verdi created a formidable adaptation. He provided a vivid score, pitting fantastical elements against the brooding world of its infamous central couple. The opera Macbeth was so well received at its premiere in 1847 that Verdi was keen to capitalize on the success. But he faced more of a challenge with King Lear. Verdi commissioned a text from Salvadore Cammarano, but the librettist died before he could complete either King Lear or Il trovatore.
Undeterred, Verdi turned to Antonio Somma – the librettist of Un ballo in maschera (1859). But even though two versions of the libretto still exist, Verdi left Lear undone. After the premiere of Aida in 1871, he announced his retirement and his Shakespearean ambitions seemed at an end.
But Verdi's publisher Giulio Ricordi knew just how to tempt him back. Working with the writer Arrigo Boito – who had at one time been a harsh critic of Italian opera – Ricordi proposed a new work based on Othello. Duly intrigued, Verdi and Boito began work on their radical revision of the play, cutting the entire first act and slowly conceiving an adaptation to rival even the original play.
Such sweeping changes were to become an essential part of their working relationship. After the terrific success of Otello at La Scala in 1887, the pair began a new opera based on the Falstaff narratives in The Merry Wives of Windsor and the two parts of King Henry IV. Falstaff opened in 1893, throwing down a gauntlet to subsequent operatic adaptors.
Shakespearean adaptations closer to home include Benjamin Britten's 1960 version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Written quickly to mark the reopening of Aldeburgh's Jubilee Hall, Britten found a dazzling idiom for Shakespeare's eerie fairies.
More recently Thomas Adès and his librettist Meredith Oakes took a suitably radical approach with The Tempest – a subject Verdi himself considered. Preserving the spirit of the original, but creating a new text, Adès's opera not only proved that Shakespeare is an unbeatable source of material but that Verdi's dramaturgical daring is worth the gamble.
Falstaff runs from 6-18 July 2015. Booking is now open for Friends of Covent Garden and general booking opens 31 March.

Needed files
To play on Avlis you will need some hak and tlk files. Most files are compressed in RAR or ZIP or 7-Zip files and you will need to unzip/unrar them before use. Hak files go in the /hak directory and tlk files into the /tlk directory (which you may need to create) in your Neverwinter Nights folder.
- IMPORTANT: In the absence of the Master Server, Avlis uses its own authentication server - the Alpha Server. After acquiring the needed files, you will need to authenticate with the Alpha Server before you can log on to Avlis. Please visit this forum thread for more information.
Required for all servers
To download all required haks for Avlis in a single file, click here:
- extract all files in the hak directory to the same directory of your Neverwinter Nights installation
- extract the single .tlk file (currently copaptlk_4_9.tlk) in the tlk directory to the same directory of your Neverwinter Nights installation
That's it! You're ready to go. Just make sure to register with the Alpha Server.
Otherwise, if you need individual hakpaks, you can download them below:
- copap2da.hak
- copapanatomy.hak
- copapbaseitem.hak
- copapcreature.hak
- copapheadhand.hak
- copappheno.hak
- copapplaceable.hak
- copapportrait.hak
- copapptexture.hak
- copaptlk_4_9.tlk This goes in your tlk folder, not the hak one.
- avlis_main1_9a.hak
- avlis_main1_9b.hak
- avlis_tileset_v1.hak
- avlis_tilem1_v1.hak
- avlis_tilem2_v1.hak
- avlis_tilet1_v1.hak
- avlis_tilet2_v1.hak
- Avlis Extension Haks
Alternative Download Locations For All Files:
- Neverwinter Vault
- Nighthawk4 File Mirror
- Javaforge
- Torrent - Also includes the optional music
- Torrent - As above but with zipped contents
NWN 1.69 Critical Rebuild
Download the latest version update for NWN from the link below.
Other Files
None of this is required, but is nice!
Take the opportunity to check your required haks for errors (click here), as well as:
Neverwinter Nights Client Extender (NWNCX)
NWNCX on the Neverwinter Nights Community Site
- Removes the long wait for the (non-functional) Master Server to time out.
- Restores multiplayer server listing in-game (using data from Skywing's replacement listing server).
- Unlocks the game's camera angle limitation (so you can do things like look straight up to see more of the game).
Be sure to read the included instructions (readme.txt), as this can be used as a pre-loader, or to patch your nwmain.exe.

This handy little utility helps you connect to the different servers. It stores all the connection information for them and you just select which one you want and "launch" it. It also bypasses all the splash screens that you see when you launch Neverwinter the normal way. You can add the new servers by right-clicking in the servers list and choosing Add Server. They can also be edited by right-clicking on the server and choosing Properties. It also has a somewhat handy time calculator that compares your computer's timezone setting to GMT.

Raspberry Pi Makes a Painfully Slow Desktop
I couldn't help but be a little intrigued by all Raspberry Pi hype. A computer smaller than a deck of playing cards, able to run Linux/ChromeOs/etc. and costing only $25-35 (depending on the model), sure sounded interesting. There are no end to computing projects I have in mind to undertake, so this seemed the perfect platform for them, particularly when the Raspberry Pi community is so friendly and supportive.
Well, having had my Raspberry Pi (model 2) for a week now I can certainly say that it's cool alright, but I'm increasingly convinced that its use in the desktop-related computing projects I had in mind is severely limited. The official Raspberry Pi Debian release runs, and includes a resource friendly web browser and other resource friendly apps, but attempting to run anything else is painful. One project I am working on uses JonDo, the magnificent privacy proxy, so I tried to see if the JonDo client would work with Raspberry Pi. It does install, and run, but it is painfully slow as to be utterly unusable (perhaps because of the Java overhead or perhaps because of the encryption demands). So much for that.
The thing I love most about the Raspberry Pi so far has less to do with it and more to do with the discontinued Motorola Lapdock. A couple years ago some people at Motorola and elsewhere thought that what people really wanted was a way to use their phone as a laptop and I remember all the hype surrounding the "lapdock" which would let you do just that. Unfortunately, at a price of $500 people really didn't want it, opting instead for cheaper $250 netbooks and $250-600 iOS/Android tablets. Sad for Motorola but great for anyone now because these over-produced lapdocks have been hitting the deep discount sales sites for the last year or so, currently selling them for $49! What you get for $49 is a fabulously elegantly, slim 10" display with keyboard, touch pad, and built-in rechargeable battery back! I seriously know of no better tech deal ever! Now, the cool part is that rather than use some proprietary connectors the lapdock uses separate micro HDMI and micro USB connections, and being universal standards you can connect a Raspberry Pi or anything else you want up to these connectors! I bought a second Motorola Lapdock to use as part of my emergency computer repair tool kit, with this thing and a few cables I've got a mobile keyboard/mouse/monitor I can hook up to any down server or computer with questionable peripherals.
In the case of Raspberry Pi this means that for $49 (Motorola Lapdock) + $35 (Raspberry Pi model 2) + $10 (cost of cables) you have a $94 laptop. Admittedly it's a pretty underwhelming laptop in a field where vastly more powerful laptops can be had for just over $200, but still... If you're buying a Raspberry Pi for anything other than experimenting then you're doing it wrong.
Watch the video above to learn what cables you need and how to modify them; the girl in the video throws me off a bit, I think it's the Ferdinand the Bull nose ring and reddish hair. Also, check out this cool modification to learn how to add a super capacitor to your Raspberry Pi as a great little backup battery/brownout protector (which is particularly useful with the lapdock).

IRS Tips on Protecting Your Identity
In IR-2019-41, as part of a Tax Time Guide series, the Service offered specific tips for protecting personal information. Each tax season, the Service receives many complaints about con artists who steal personal information and money from unsuspecting victims. The IRS sponsors a Security Summit and regularly shares ways to protect financial information and avoid identity theft.
There are six specific IRS suggestions for safeguarding your data and identity.
There are six specific IRS suggestions for safeguarding your data and identity.
- Protect Personal Information Your Social Security Number, credit card, bank account and retirement fund account numbers are valuable data. Use careful judgement and do not release them unless it is necessary. If you do release them, be certain you know who is asking for the information and the purpose for your disclosure.
- Guard Against Phishing Emails Scammers continue to be very deceptive in their "phishing" email strategies. A scammer email may look like it came from a family member, a friend or your tax advisor. It may offer a great discount or free "security software." Do not click on any links if you are not certain who sent the email. Many victims click on links because they think the email is from a friend or tax advisor. They later discover the scammer who sent the email has installed malware to steal their identity.
- Use Secure Websites When you are shopping or banking online, use secure websites with "https" at the start of the web address. The "https" is more secure than the normal "http" because the "s" requires a security certificate. The data you send with "https" will be encrypted. All financial accounts should use a security certificate on the website.
- Set Up Strong Passwords Your passwords should be different for all important websites. Use 10 to 14 characters in each password. Include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and a special character in each password. Set up passwords and security on your home and office wireless networks. An unprotected home Wi-Fi network can be monitored by a scammer who may attempt to steal your bank and financial passwords.
- Install Security Software Home computer security software is a bargain. It is a small fraction of the cost of the loss you could incur if your identity is stolen. Your security software should automatically update each day and protect you against viruses, spyware and malware.
- Backup Your Files Regularly backup your files on an external drive, a USB memory drive or a CD. If you become a victim of "ransomware," your files may be locked unless you pay a "ransom" amount. You may need to reformat or replace your hard drive to access and restore your data files.

I put your family heritage on eBay today. I'm hoping to get top dollar. I struggled with the idea at first, but in the end I succumbed to my capitalistic urges. Because I would never want to have my own heritage up for sale, I thought I would warn others so they don't suffer the same fate as your ancestors.
I bought the photos of your great-grandparents and relatives, including the little baby in the casket, at the local auction house. You see, I truly enjoy going to auctions and estate sales. It's part of the same pack-rat, "collector" mentality that draws me to genealogy. What drew me to this sale was the fact that I knew your parents, and the local memorabilia and ephemera was simply too much for me to resist. I made an emotional purchase, taking all of the box lots containing your family photos, scrapbooks and other newspaper clippings. I told myself that I wanted to preserve the local history – keeping it out of the hands of the flea market dealers. But in the end, I realized that it was not my responsibility to preserve your heritage.
Oh, I struggled with the decision to sell the photos – they were the types of photos I wish I had of my own ancestors. Most of them were even labeled! I found myself on Ancestry.com, searching your ancestry instead of my own. When I reached that point I knew that I needed to purge myself of these extraneous photos.
I don't know why your family wasn't interested in preserving these family heirlooms. To me, knowing they exist and not having them would create a void I would yearn to fill. Perhaps someday, one of your descendants or an extended family member will be interested in genealogy. Maybe they'll ask you if there are any old photos lying around. You'll have to be the one to break their heart and tell them that all the pictures were sold at an auction.
The genealogist in me wouldn't let them go into the night without trying to preserve them in some manner. I made scans of all of them and uploaded them onto the website, DeadFred.com before placing the originals for sale. At least this way, they will be preserved in some manner. I may even contact your cousins on Ancestry.com and email them digital scans as well. That should keep me from feeling too guilty.
So the next time you eat at the local Cracker Barrel, and you see someone on the wall who looks familiar – it may just be your family.

OSEE/Software Development Process
The OSEE team uses Agile methods to develop OSEE. While the Agile Manifesto values individuals and interactions over tools, we have identified elements of the Agile Process that can be enhanced by the concepts embodied in OSEE.
The OSEE development team understands and uses the Agile Development Process. The Agile process is continuous – the team has a Product Owner who understands the goals for the product and keeps a backlog of items. For the OSEE team, the most convenient way to understand what needs to be done to improve or fix OSEE is to use the tool to manage its own Actions. The Action provides enough information to determine what part of OSEE the Action applies to, who initiated the Action, and the exit criteria for completion of the Action.
Development of OSEE is divided into Sprints. The Product Owner reviews the backlog Actions, and provides a groomed list of Actions to the team to include in Sprint planning. The team chooses the most important Actions and assigns story points to each candidate Action. The story points provide a way to identify the level of effort required to complete an Action. The process emphasizes team interaction, and the team buys-in to all of the actions in the Sprint because they are involved in the selection of Actions. The selected Actions are given a Goal order to suggest the order they should be addressed. The Sprint typically starts the day after the previous Sprint is completed.
Sprint progress is monitored using daily Scrum meetings. During the meeting, each developer reports progress on the Actions they are working. Anything blocking the developer from completing an Action is raised in the Scrum meeting so help can be obtained. Completed Actions are marked, and developers are assigned remaining Actions from the Sprint plan. Project metrics are collected that show how many story points are completed. The OSEE team uses a combination burn down/burn up chart that shows how far along the plan the team is and how much completed work the team has accomplished.
At the end of the Sprint, a Sprint Retrospective is used to review with the team how well the Sprint went. The Retrospective covers what went well and what didn't with an eye to improving future Sprints. Team Velocity, a measurement of the number of story points per day per person, is collected and graphed to show how the Sprint compares to other Sprints. The Sprint Planning process repeats and the next Sprint starts.
TODO: Add bugzilla relation to planning
Change Requests
The OSEE team utilizes its Action Tracking System (ATS) to capture and track OSEE software actions. OSEE users have the ability to submit change requests (e.g. bugzilla) describing something a user wants (e.g. a new feature or a software bug fix). These actions reside in an ordered backlog where they are evaluated and prioritized to be resolved, tested, and released appropriately using the agile software process. The OSEE product backlog consists of features, bugs, technical work, and knowledge acquisition items. Items in this backlog are sorted through a collaborative approach with users/stakeholders and planned for work.
TODO: Add reference links for bugzilla or other process references.
Software Requirements
Requirements for OSEE are an on-going process. User Stories are drawn up for each key use case. Software requirements are derived from the User stories. The intent is to identify WHAT OSEE needs to do in order to fulfill customer acceptance for a particular use case. Requirements are meant to be high level and not focused on how OSEE will accomplish each task.
"OSEE shall access an outside system that maintains requirements" is WHAT it will do. "OSEE shall import requirements from DOORS" is HOW.
TODO: Add Functional decomposition information
Software Design
Design considerations:
- What open source libraries already provide part or all of the solution?
- Remove inclusion of unnecessarily specific restrictions (i.e. generalize the solution)
- Carefully consider consistency with and impact to overall system architecture
- Minimize the user support this feature will require.
- Consider use of appropriate software patterns.
- Consider the concurrency implications – including does the design take advantage of multiple cores
- Interface design considerations
- API compatibility - Binary vs. source vs. contract
- Gracefully handle bad data, invalid states, etc.
- Usability – work closely with customer on visual interface
TODO: Add link to software architecture/design TODO: How is the design documented? TODO: What process is used to design? TODO: How will the design impact Datastore/Data model compatibility? TODO: Trace design to requirements
Software Implementation Process
The phase in the software life-cyle where the actual software is implemented for the project. This process includes: updating production software, updating test software, verifying changes through unit tests and system level tests, committing changes into version control, making local builds and submitting changes for review.
TODO: Add Implementation Process Diagram TODO: Add customer review block as part of implementation cycle TODO: Add documentation TODO: Add Checklists and static analysis checks before submission
Tests accompany all new code created or modified. Tests can either be integration tests (end-to-end) functional testing or pure unit tests. For unit tests, JUnit and Mockito (http://code.google.com/p/mockito/) are used to quickly create test mock data types. Mockito mock types can be setup to return predetermined values which can be used in assert statements to test functionality. Tests are put into a fragment bundle where the host bundle contains the code being tested. The fragment will have the same name as the host bundle with ".test" appended to it. The package structure will mirror that of the host bundle (i.e. it will not contain ".test" in any package). The test class will have the same name as the unit under test with "Test" appended. Each test method in the test class will be named testMethodName() where methodName() is the method being tested in the unit under test. Each package will contain a package test suite file that lists which classes are run as a part of that test. Within Eclipse, the Emma code coverage tool can be used for unit tests. Unit tests should cover at least 80% of the new code.
TODO: Discuss test bundle structure and test suites TODO: Add test patterns such as: setup, exercise, verify TODO: Add client integration tests vs unit tests TODO: Client test framework - rules, monitorlog, etc.. TODO: Discuss how tests behave during build, what is accessible (accessing resources) TODO: Add Test philosophy? Large number of unit test vs functional/integration tests. TODO: Module tests vs full system level tests. TODO: Test speed
Reviews are done using the Gerrit Code Review tool. After code has been written, it is submitted to Gerrit which allows other developers a chance to review the code prior to it being merged into a baseline branch. Information on how to configure Git to use Gerrit can be found here: [1]. Comments can be made in Gerrit in-line of the changes. After the code has been reviewed, use the "Review" button to complete the process. A -1 should be used if there are comments that need to be addressed prior to the code being merged in. A +1 should be used if the change looks good. Once two developers have reviewed the code, a committer can then review the change with +2 to merge the change into a baseline branch.
Note: A review of -2 from a committer will block the change from being merged in. The IP portion of the review is for preventing unauthorized 3rd party libraries from being packaged with OSEE. If no unapproved external dependencies are included in the change, a +1 should be given by at least one reviewer. The Verified portion of the review means that the change has been successfully built (i.e. the change does not break the build). If the patch successfully builds, a +1 should be given or a -1 if the build fails.
TODO: Add review checklist (make sure review design, does the change fit?) TODO: Add link to Gerrit Workflow
Continuous Integration
For quality purposes, all tests are run prior to checking in code changes. Gerrit can integrate with Hudson for the Verified portion of the review, but that is currently disabled due to the time it takes to run the build and tests. Multiple integration builds are created prior to release and are used by developers to check out new functionality as well as verify prior functionality. Once a build has been used by developers, it is promoted to user acceptance. A subset of users use the new build to verify more functionality. Prior to release, all tests must pass and all changes that went into the new version are verified by doing readiness reviews. These reviews are to double-check that changes we say are in a build are actually in the build that is marked for release.
TODO: Add tag description TODO: Describe builds (alpha, betas, release) - how to access TODO: Repository tags ? TODO: Add links to Eclipse Hudson TODO: Add build diagram for alpha, betas, etc
The OSEE Development process is designed to enable a change to be adequately reviewed and tested such that it could be quickly incorporated into the a next release. The releases attempt to facilitate this.
- OSEE Release
- Production Release
- Most Stable Release
- OSEE Release Candidate Beta
- Next release to be released to Production
- Used by smaller subset of user base
- OSEE Release Candidate Alpha
- Nightly snapshot of what has been released into the current RC branch
- Can be promoted to Beta when changes are ready
- OSEE Development Beta
- Trusted changes from the development line
- Normally only used by OSEE developers or users who need to test a single change
- Unstable and can be updated / restarted anytime
- OSEE Development Alpha
- Nightly snapshot off development line
- Only used by OSEE developers
- Most unstable and can be updated / restarted anytime
Building And Deploying
OSEE Builds and Deployment are done through Hudson. Snapshot builds are kicked off nightly and available the next morning. At anytime, an OSEE developer can select to promote an Alpha to Beta or Beta to Release by activating the promotion through Hudson.
OSEE is currently being deployed automatically to shared location.
Compatibility Considerations during Deployment
Depending on the type of action, care must be taken to deploy to an production site.
- Additions modifications of Artifact, Attribute and Relation types
- If changes to the type model are additions or minor modifications, they can be made directly in the production unified type artifact without down-time
- If the changes include deletions or renames of types, you will need to coordinate converting the database before making the changes to he types.
- Code changes
- If multiple releases of OSEE are deployed, code changes must be made in a compatible way such that the current release can continue to work while the alpha and beta releases are able to be tested and released to a smaller user audience. One way is to use the OSEE_INFO table to create a flag that allows old code to run until toggled. This allows the development and testing of the new code, but alpha and beta and full releases won't run the new code until the flag is toggled.
Followup changes during and after a release
- If changes are necessary during a release, such as table conversion or converting database attributes, you will need to create a ATS action labeled "During <release id> work". Then add a task in the task tab that explains what work needs to be done and references the Action that it's being done for. Provide enough detail that any OSEE developer can perform the task.
- If changes are necessary after a release, such as cleaning up deactivated or compatibility code, create a ATS action labeled "Post <release id> work". Then add a task in the task tab that explains what work needs to be done and references the Action that it's being done for. Provide enough detail that any OSEE developer can perform the task.

Just a few quick news notes for you this Sunday.
A Hindu Education: While there are a growing number of Hindu temples and house of worship in the United States, it can still be hard for American Hindus to find a place to practice their religion. Even more frustrating is when there is a local temple, but its teachings don't line up with your own beliefs. Religion News Service reports on how some Hindus are getting together to provide religious education for their children, mixing tradition with views that can be more progressive than is found in some temples.
"At a Hindu temple, the religious leaders might be defensive about an issue like caste, said Manjusha Kulkarni, the executive director of South Asian Network and one of more progressive parents in the group. Kulkarni says she never enrolled her daughters in a formal religious education program because she had bad experiences at temples. One priest, for instance, told her that women shouldn't work outside the home, Kulkarni recalls. After Hurricane Katrina, another priest dismissed her five-year-old daughter's questions about suffering."
It's an interesting article, not only because it illustrates the diversity within American Hinduism, but because it shines a light into a situation that may soon be true of modern Pagan faiths as well. There's been a lot of talk about building temples, community centers, and houses of worship for our community, but it's inevitable that such institutions, even at their most broad-minded, won't please everyone. To a certain extent, no matter how much infrastructure we end up building, we'll always embrace a hybrid of home-based grass-roots teaching alongside more formal attempts at religious education and collective worship. For more on Hindu-Pagan relations, please see my entry on our joint PantheaCon panel.
The Sights of the Pagan Alliance Festival: Photographer Greg Harder, a member of PNC-Bay Area, has posted a photo-set from the recent 11th Annual Pagan Alliance Festival in Berkeley, California. The 2012 Keeper of the Light is T. Thorn Coyle, pictured below, during the parade.
A Polytheist's View: Inspired by my recent post about Pagans and Jesus, and my rebuttal to a Catholic blogger's "praise" of ancient paganism, author and scholar P. Sufenas Virius Lupus provides a lengthy meditation on Christianity through a polytheist lens. Here's just a short excerpt of a very smart, must-read, essay.
"I find myself arriving at the following conclusion. I am a polytheist (and an animist) because I find that these viewpoints best describe my own experiences to me, and they are the framework in which I can best understand and use those experiences toward productive ends for myself and for many (though not all) others. Yes, I love my gods and I love that they have been a part of my life: that is the very basis for my experiences. But when understanding myself theologically, this is the position I find myself in, and I think it's a good one. My viewpoint on the gods tends not to invalidate their possible existence in other religions, thus I am very happy to concede that Iao Sabaoth, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Allah, various angels and saints, and a number of other divine beings exist; I still worship and interact with a few of these from time to time, to varying degrees of success, and some of them have had transformative and powerful influences on my own spiritual development and experience over the years in the past, which I do not wish to ever forsake or invalidate. However, I'm under no obligation to think of these deities in the same manners as those who are members of religions who consider these deities to be the "only" deities in existence. Gentlidecht, as well as the practices of many other people that I respect a great deal as spiritual colleagues and co-religionists, do not have difficulties with the beings of these other religions, and some of the practices and ideas that arise from them; but, they're still polytheists, at the end of the day. While monotheists' own theologies within their religions are perfectly valid for themselves (unless they actively harm others, which they do far more often than all of us non-monotheists would prefer), I will not by any means grant them a validity outside of that relative validity; even the best-intentioned among them would do more than that for me, and I'm fine with that."
Really, go read the whole thing, you'll be glad you did.
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

Welcome Back
This is a technique that I discovered by accident when
playing experimenting with my new Interference acrylic colours. This paint works best over dark colours so I created a dark background and was layering the interference colour and really liked the effect. With a little practice you can make it look like brushed metal.
You Will Need
- Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic Paint: Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna
- Daler Rowney Interference acrylic colour; Shimmering Gold
- White Mount board
- Plate to mix colours on
- Two scraps of rag
- Palette knife
- Jar of water
- Use the palette knife to apply a layer of Burnt Umber over the whole mount board panel, allow this layer to dry.
- With a rag apply interference gold in 'grain direction' as seen in the video and previously in the weathered wood tutorial. Allow this layer to dry.
- With a rag, apply some Burnt Sienna in 'grain direction' like you did with the gold. Burnt sienna is semi transparent and will let earlier layers show through but this will warm the colours up and tone down any areas that are looking too bright. Allow this layer to dry.
- Continue to build your layer till you have an effect that you like, if you like a darker tone go back in with some Burnt Umber with the rag to deepen some areas or perhaps create a frame to the piece.
Like with the other techniques, to get the best results it's all about the blending. Build up the layers gradually for the best results and allow each layer to dry before you apply the next.
Options/Added Extras
Winsor & Newton Galeria is a flow formula acrylic paint, so the finished result will be flat. This makes it ideal for art journals, ATC and pieces you wish to write or stamp over. If you want a more dimensional effect use a heavy bodied acrylic paint such as Daler Rowney Cryla which will add more dimension to the piece.
Experiment with different base colours and mixes for other effects.
- Daler Rowney
- Daler Rowney Shimmering Colours
- Shimmering colours at Jackson's Art Supplies
- Winsor & Newton
Hope you have enjoyed the video and will give the technique a try, do let me know how you get on. I'd love to see what you create using this technique.
Best wishes and thanks for reading see you soon
Billie 🙂

Seems like a couple of years can make a big difference in indie-pop history. You turn your back for a second to gawp at other marvellous musical incarnations and then you find out that Wakefield's The Research added a guitarist in the time that it took you to forget all about them. And then the guitarist left before he even got to play on a stage. Yet, with new material being released into the world again we find out if they have been 2008's most missed band? Judging by this new album, sadly not. But they were really missed, honestly, who could resist their debut longplayer Breaking Up - so catchy, catty and delightfully, harmoniously tuneful, it was always going to be hard to follow up.
On first listen, prepare for a shock: the comfortingly trashy trademark keyboard element of the music has been ripped out and a guitar has been shoved in its place. And it's just not the same, not as fun. Yes, the vocal harmonies are still there like on hopelessly romantic 'I Think She's The One I Love' and the sweetly shining 'Librarian Girl'. Yes, the dreamy indie-pop feeling is still alive - try 'There Are No Subs In My Team', but something has happened to The Research, something has stirred within their core.
Musically there are a few more surprises, but no more paradigm shifts, it's just, perhaps, that The Research have outgrown their old formula and want to try out some different tricks. There's old school kids puppet program sounding 'All My Love' with it's trumpet and bassoon, then 'I Would Like to be Forgiven' with it's harmonica and 'Going To Be Disappearing' with its purely piano shuffle.
And then nestled away amongst the new sound are some future singles to be, some more of those songs to sing along with. The Research check in with the gloriously uplifting 'Rockin' the Boat With My Friends' and the starry eyed 'Anytime, Babe', affirming that The Research made it through to the next level, just, just someone tell them to bring the decrepit Casio back. Or another keyboard, not fussed.

Safety Update
Light Curtains, Noncontact Buttons Protect Assembly Operators
Although this method minimizes risk to the specific machine
The light screens guard points of operation, access areas and perimeters. These noncontact systems protect fingers, hands and ankles by detecting the presence of opaque objects that interrupt a part of the predefined area. The light screen sends a safety stop signal to the controls of the machine, which react immediately to stop the hazardous motion before an incident occurs.
Plus, Banner's Ez-Screen safety light screen offers versatile mounting options for flexible use, without interfering with normal production processes.
"We mounted the light curtains on these machines in a top and bottom orientation," says Steve Amaro, Buhrke process engineer. "This allows the operator to pass from machine to machine without moving around upright posts."
In addition to protecting workers, the light screen provides significant time and cost savings. With an alternative method, such as a two-hand tie-down pushbutton or palm method, Buhrke estimates a single cycle would take 14 to 15 sec. Using the light screen cuts this time nearly in half—requiring just 7 to 8 sec. per cycle.
Buhrke also uses Banner safety products for machine control. For example, a machine used to assemble radio chassis is safeguarded with Banner's Pico-Guard fiberoptic system controllers. These devices interface with the machine PLC via fiberoptic controllers, which feature four separate optical sensing channels to monitor one or multiple fiberoptic switches, point, grids or optical e-stop buttons in the same fiberoptic loop.
"Running plastic fibers is less labor intensive than the alternative method of hard-wiring door switches and using a different style of controller," Amaro says.

Skiing is a lot more fun when you are in shape. You are less likely to get hurt, can go longer, and will be able to handle more challenging runs. It's important to understand what key muscles you will be using while you ski.
Since skiing is a downhill activity, your quadriceps (the muscles in the front of your upper leg) maintain much of the control. It is important to maintain quad strength as it will prevent you from injuring your knees and keep you stable as you go down a run. This is especially important for women, as women are more inclined to get knee injuries. Women's Health recommends squats for strengthening quadriceps. Lunges are also good for strengthening your quads. If you have access to a gym, a quadricep curl machine (which requires you to sit in a chair and lift your feet from a 90-degree angle to a zero degree one) are great at isolating these muscles.
Your gluteus maximus muscles (or your butt, if you aren't too technical) are the strongest muscles in your body. For most physical activity, your glutes are your power source. Skiing is no exception. Have strong glutes will give you both power and control as you ski. Plies are good for glutes, and squats and lunges again are great for these muscles. A bosu ball provides an extra challenge for your squat and will improve your balance, which is key to skiing.
Inner Thigh:
Your gracilis muscle controls your inner thigh. Strengthening your inner thigh will help you control your speed when you traverse and will give you stability. Side squats are good for this. You can also get ankle weights and do inner leg lifts to isolate this muscle.
It's also key to be in good aerobic shape when you ski. Skiing is aerobic anyway, and the altitude makes the air thinner, which makes breathing more difficult. Getting at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least three times a week is a good starting point.
**Remember, this post is a basic guideline and does not substitute for 1.) seeing your doctor to see if you are fit for these exercises and 2.) seeing a professional trainer who can evaluate your personal fitness level.**

Islam is the religion of peace and love
The time of the coming of the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be one of peace and security
Verses from the Qur'an referring to Islam as the religion of peace, love and brotherhood:
You who believe! Enter peace (Islam) totally. Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy to you. (Surat al-Baqara, 208)
Allah calls to the Abode of Peace and He guides whom He wills to a straight path.... (Surah Yunus, 25)
... if someone kills another person—unless it is in retaliation for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth—it is as if he had murdered all mankind. ... (Surat al-Maida, 32)
The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat al-Hujurat, 10)
Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappear. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal, 46)
As for those who believe and do right actions, the All-Merciful will bestow His love on them. (Surah Maryam, 96)
You are the best nation ever to be produced before mankind. You enjoin the right, forbid the wrong and believe in Allah... (Surah Al 'Imran, 110)
Make allowances for people, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant. (Surat al-A'raf, 199)
Hadith Regarding the Prophet Jesus (as) Bringing Peace and Love to the World and Putting an End to Killing, Oppression and War:
I swear that Jesus (as), son of Mary will descend as a just ruler... And all HOSTILITIES, QUARRELS, ENVY WILL ABSOLUTELY VANISH... (Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 498)
Jesus (as), son of Mary will be a just judge and a just ruler, ... abolish the jizya (from the non-Muslims), FILL THE EARTH WITH PEACEjust as the water fills the pot. There will also be unity in religion and noone other than Allah will be worshipped anymore.(Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
The Prophet Jesus (as) exists in my community as a just ruler... ALL HOSTILITY AND HATRED VANISH... Earth becomes like a silver plate and grows the plants in abundance just like in the time of the Prophet Adam (as) ... (Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 496)
EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH PEACEjust like water fills the pot. NO HOSTILITY WILL REMAIN AND ALL HOSTILITIES, QUARRELS, ENVY WILL ABSOLUTELY VANISH.(Sahih Muslim, 1/136)
Then he will live for 40 years. No one will die at his time. A person will tell his sheep and animals to go and graze, they will go and although they will pass through crops, they will take not a single ear of grain into their mouths. Snakes and scorpions will not harm anyone. Beasts will stand before the doors and will not harm anyone... (Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, Kıyamet alametleri, Olum ve Dirilis [Portents of the Judgment Day, Death and Resurrection],p 184)
ENMITY AND GRUDGEamong people will disappear. Scorpions and snakes will be without poison; even a child will play with a snake with bare hands without getting a snakebite. A girl will try to drive a lion but that lion will not touch her. A wolf will remain among sheep as if it were a shepherd dog. As a bowl fills with water, the earth will fill with the unity of religion. People will worship no being other than Allah. NOTHING IN THE NAME OF WARS, STRIFE WILL REMAIN... The earth will be like a silver table. It will give off its plantations as it were in the time of Prophet Adam (as). A bunch of grapes will suffice a private. A group of people will be full with a single pomegranate. The price of an ox will be that much and a horse will be purchased in return for a dirham.
They said:
"The Messenger of Allah! Why will a horse be so cheap?"
"Why will an ox will be so expensive?"
"Because the entire earth will be planted, it will be of great demand..." (Ibn Majah reported a similar one from Umama; Great Hadith Collection, al-Rudani, Vol. 5, p. 370-371-372)
Jesus (as) remains among the people as a just judge, an absolute judicious imam (religious leader) – ruler... ALL ENMITIES, GRUDGE
DISAPPEAR, the poison of each poisonous animal is drawn. Furthermore, a child puts his hand in the mouth of a snake but that snake does not give harm to it. A girl annoys a lion while caressing it but that lion does not give harm to the girl. A wolf becomes like a shepherd dog among a sheep herd. THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH PEACE AND SECURITY AS IF A BOWL IS FILLED WITH WATER. (At that time) a single word (the word of tawhid) remains and people worship only Allah. Warriors LEAVE THEIR LOAD (THAT IS THEIR ARMS, WEAPONS ETC.)(Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, pp. 496-497)
[Jesus (as)] will then live for forty years. AT HIS TIME NO ONE WILL DIE. A person will tell his sheep and animals to go and graze, they will go and although they will pass through crops, they will take not a single ear of grain into their mouths. Snakes and scorpions will not give harm to anyone. Predatory animals will lie at people's doorsteps but they will not give harm to anyone. A person will take a scale of wheat and plant it [in a field] without ox and catapult, but he will still take seven hundred scales of wheat in return.(Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, Kıyamet alametleri, Olum ve Dirilis [Portents of the Judgment Day, Death and Resurrection],p. 184)
"For seven years NO ONE WILL BE ENEMIES TO ONE ANOTHER." (264- Ibn Manda, a.e II 958-9, al-Mukhaddas, a.E. Vr. 136-a 137-b)
In his [Jesus' (as)] time, earth brings out its treasures in its depths. People do not demand any possessions. Envy and grudge disappear. Allah clears off the poison of each poisonous being. Thus children play with snakes and scorpions, but they are not harmed. Wolves do not give harm to sheep. PEOPLE DO NOT KILL ONE ANOTHER. PEACE DOMINATES THE EARTH. Soil gives plenty of crops as it were in its initial days. (265- see Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Musnad, II, 409, 437; al-Safarini, Lavami, II 95) (Dr. Zeki Saritoprak, Jesus' Descend from the Point of Islam, Cağlayan Press, Izmir, 1997, p. 96)
THERE WILL BE NO PLACE FOR GRUDGE AND ENMITY AMONG PEOPLEsince the causes disappear... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, pp. 242-243)
"Jesus (as), son of Mary, will descend no matter what."... "ENMITY, GETTING CROSS WITH EACH OTHER AND JEALOUSY WILL BE REMOVED." (Abu Huraira, Great Hadith Collection, al-Rudani, Vol. 5, p. 379)2009-09-23 21:16:43

Director Harmony Korine has been hard at work on his spring break movie appropriately titled Spring Breakers, and we've been bringing you plenty of images of the bikini-clad cast over the past few weeks. The film stars Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine as four college girls who rob a fast food joint in order to pay for their spring break. They get busted, but a drug dealer played by James Franco bails them out and convinces them to kill his nemesis. It's fairly ridiculous premise, but what more could we expect from the director of Trash Humpers?
Not only do these images show off Franco's latest character creation in all his cornrowed glory, but we also get a, um, nice official image of the core actresses in their fabric-light costumes. Hit the jump to check out the images. If you missed any of the other bikini-filled images we posted previously, click here and here.
