text: I was stalking a great blue heron when I turned and saw this sweet and special sight. This is a really special area a cove near where the ocean and a river come together on Hunting Island. It is where some of the scenes from the movie GI Jane with Demi Moore were filmed. I always see fish jumping right out of the water when I go there but I have never seen anyone catch a fish. I have seen a man throw a cast net and catch fish but I never see anyone with a pole actually catch anything. I always see herons and pelicans and seagulls and once I saw a sea turtle raise its head out of the water…an exciting but somewhat terrifying sight. Another person and I stood with our cameras ready trying to catch it pop up again and it did but we only got shots of blips of water. I cannot drive past this cove without stopping.

Everything is in place with my team, all members are booked in. logistics are all sorted. Now it is just a case of heading up Friday afternoon / evening and going for it on Saturday at 7:00am. I'm expecting the Carneddau section will be chalked off fairly comfortably but then I'm also expecting the Glyder section to be a long slow energy sapping slog with burning legs. Especially the descent up Y Garn and then up on Glyder Fawr from Llyn y cwn and if we get this far the final ascent onto Tryfan from Bwlch Tryfan. Hence the "it will hurt there, there and there".
There is a mass start time at 7:00am from the Ogwen valley mountain rescue hut, with a few cut off points along the route. 13:00 at Ogwen cottage. 15:00 at Llyn y Cwn. I also believe there is cut off point at Bwlch Tryfan but this has not been confirmed as yet. We certainly will not be setting any record times and the only target we are aiming for is to get round and complete it.
One thing is for sure I'm really looking forward to the beers afterwards; they hopefully will be well earned.
I will be posting photos and report early next week after the event. Lastly if anyone reading this is actually doing the event this Saturday. All the best and see you there.
Anyone can still sponsor me by following this link. Allmonies raised go to Ogwen valley Mountain rescue team for much needed kit etc. A big thank you to everyone who has already sponsored me, it is much appreciated.

After spending all afternoon sailing with both of my lovers, having a companionable meal together how could we finish the day on a high?
We could spend the evening together playing cards? …………….no
We could go to the pub? ………….no
We could all go our seperate ways ? …………no
or we could go to a private party? …………………yes
Dave drove, it should have taken a tad short of an hour to get there but with Dave at the wheel doing a ton along the dual carriage way as we headed east along the coast before heading north along country lanes, we were there in 40 minutes. I text Bruce to let him know we had arrived…………….come on in. We were the first to arrive, followed a few minutes later by Alice and then some new people, Louise & Dick with their friends Nancy & Paddy. Ian was next to arrive (with his bag of tricks) swiftly followed by Tigger & Winnie. The drinks were flowing, the mood was jovial, even if our newest recruits were a little nervous.
We were using two different rooms this time. I was in the garden with Karl when we realised the others had made their way upstairs. I soon followed to discover that the fun had begun without me. Things became a little blurred from here on in. I know that I was undressed by Bruce and Dave (but I managed to keep my silver heels on all the time). Dave lay on the bed next to Alice who was being played with by Ian and probably others. I was bent over the bed (still in my heels) sucking Dave off while Bruce was kneeling at my feet licking me out. Dave moved to play with Alice and Bruce turned me around to lay me on the bed while he continued to lick me out. I remember he put my left leg up over the ornate iron bedstead. I placed my other foot on his back. I believe there are photos of me like this but have not seen them yet.
Bruce then decided that he wanted me to himself and led me off in search of a quieter room (it can be handy when you own the small hotel). Choosing one of the rooms we used last time he stripped the ornate cover off the bed. But the noise coming from one of the other rooms had everyone running to see what was going on. (it was Nancy cumming very loudly with Tigger). Bruce had been holding onto an unopen condom for some time now and was determined he was going to fuck me. Next began the search for some lubricant to ease his latex covered cock into my tight cunt. Lube found and liberally smeared over my labia but try as he might he was still finding it difficult to gain entry. Probably not helped by me tensing up at each attempt. He is no slim Jim and each try sent a searing pain through my pussy. Giving up he wandered off.
I lay across the bed on my stomach chatting with others as they came and went. Dave whacked me on my arse with some rubber anal beads………..ouch they flippin well hurt, they look so innocent too. While I was laying there chatting I was also playing with a blue and silver vibrator, trying out the various settings. At one point and I'm not sure now what else was going on but I seem to remember Alice sucking and playing with my nipples (I had earlier played with her nipple) as did Dick (now he was cute).I had just decided to get dressed and go see how Karl was as he had been feeling poorly and not joined in any of the fun, when Tigger asked me if I had had a good seeing to yet. Damn a few minutes earlier and I would have played with him but I was already in the getting dressed mode.
I found Karl in the garden, gradually the others all assembled in the lounge where Ian was loading all the photos of the night onto cd's for all of us to keep. Karl didn't want any and I said I would share with Dave (he still has the disc) then it was time to begin our journey home.
Louise found the evening enjoyable but overwhelming as there were so many people there, Karl also felt there were too many, I tend to agree too.
So if you were planning a group session how many do you think would be just right and how many would be too many?

What to Look for in T5 Campervans for Sale
With so many options on the market when it comes to T5 campervans for sale, picking the right one can be tricky. There are many things to consider, like whether short or long wheelbases are better, and what on-board facilities you need. Read on for our Denby guide on what to look for in T5 campervans for sale!
Choosing T5 Campervans for Sale
When it comes to selecting a T5 campervan for sale, the one that you choose will depend on what you want to get out of your camper. For example, one of the first things to consider would be how many beds are needed. Many T5 campervans for sale can accommodate around 4 people; if you don't need to sleep that many, it might be worth using the space you'd save as additional storage space.
Another important factor when you're looking at a T5 campervan for sale would be on board facilities. If you'll mostly be using your T5 campervan in parks with full cooking and washing facilities, then you might consider installing entertainment units and more storage over a kitchenette or toilet.
We have a range of conversion options which can be fit into a T5 campervan for sale, and you can find a guide here.
T5 campervans for sale at Denby will have a choice of hightop or elevating roof. It's been said that hightop roofs can be cosier in cold weather; other owners will tell you that they love the versatility of their elevating roof.
A similar trade-off is made in T5 campervans for sale which have short or long wheel bases. A SWB can be easier to manoeuvre, whereas LWB will have more internal space.

Our Weekender is perfect for short overnight trips; longer trips will benefit from our Balmoral and Buckingham VW T5 campervan conversions.

3. Facilities – A flushing toilet can be a useful thing to have, but they also take up quite a bit of space. If you're taking your camper to sites with bathroom facilities, it's worth considering whether you can get away without having a toilet on-board.
4. Van size – Our Balmoral, Day Van, Weekender, and Olympian Sportsmobile conversions are all perfect for short or long-wheelbase vans, whereas our Buckingham is more suited to long wheelbases. SWB can be easier to manoeuvre, whereas LWB offer more space.
5. Van engine – A bigger engine means the van can carry more weight, but may be less fuel efficient.

The FIRE Trend: Retiring Before 40
Admit it. If you could just have things your way, you'd rather spend Monday relaxing than reporting for work. Trust me, I know how that feels. Now, before you feel bad about wanting to give yourself a break from your hectic work schedule, let me tell you that you're not the only millennial who feels that way.
Just think about that! Wouldn't it be nice to retire long before you reach retirement age? Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy retirement even before you turn 40? Granted, Livingston's circumstances may be different from yours in many ways. But, and here's the thing, the formula she used toward achieving financial independence and retiring early (a process known as FIRE) is something that you definitely can benefit from, regardless of your present income level.
Excited to learn how? Here's what you could do on your journey toward FIRE.
Step 1: Boost your income
The first step towards financial independence is, of course, boosting your income. Most of those who plan to retire early think that the easiest way to go about things is just moving to a place where the cost of living is relatively low. While cutting back on expenses is definitely one way to achieve financial freedom, relocating may not always be the wisest course of action.
Before making the final decision, consider the job opportunities available to you in the area you plan to relocate to. Often, the benefit of living in places where living costs are relatively high is having the best job opportunities within your reach. So instead of opting to relocate, why not assess your present job? Look for ways to boost your income to the maximum level and speed up your progress toward financial independence.
Step 2: Save more than what you spend
Once you've already done what you could to boost your income level, it's time that you start saving up. Don't fall into the trap of spending as much as you can earn. Sure, it's not bad to treat yourself to something nice once in a while as a reward for your hard work, but it would be wise to make sure that your savings—not your expenses—take a larger chunk off your budget. Livingston mentioned earlier, did just that. She revved up her saving rate sky-high, pushing her budget to the limits so that she saved up 70 percent of what she earned. While you do not have to have the same saving rate for yourself, you definitely could see to it that you save more than you spend.
Step 3: Grow your money
Now let's say you already have enough saved up in your bank account—enough to last you for several years without you having to work. What next? Well, if the only thing you do with the amount you save up is spend, sooner or later your funds will dry up. And then you'll be back right where you started—in the need for regular employment. So what you need to do is make sure that you do not run out of funds. Remember, financial independence and early retirement do not equate to not working altogether. It simply means having the luxury of time—time to earn at your own pace and to pursue other life goals.
What, then, can you do to make your money grow? Invest. If you are no expert in handling investments, have someone professional to help you out. Investing in the right businesses and financial securities will ensure that you do not run out of finances despite your decision to quit the workplace.
Enjoy life at your own terms
Yes, by boosting your income, saving more than you spend, and growing your money, you can achieve what others only get to enjoy when they're already 40 years old or older. Really, why settle for traditional retirement when you could speed up the process and get more time to enjoy your hard-earned financial rewards? And believe me, if Livingston made it, so can you! Start early on your goal toward FIRE. Start today.

Today I talk about how to get AStyle 2.04 the awesome code beautifier working with Qt Creator 3.1, and towards the end share my configuration settings (C++).
I have a particularly strange habit to code: I can't stand it if it doesn't look pretty. I make a fuss about formatting, on whether code is readable and properly formatted by consistent and standard code conventions. In short, messy code is disgusting to me.
I doubt I'm the only one like this (:
For awhile now I've been manually formatting the code, little seemingly insignificant stuff point of adding spaces between operators and removing spaces around parenthesis, until I realize how it was actually kinda unproductive.
Enter AStyle
I setup Qt Creator via this link. Apparently Qt Creator 3.1 already has beautifier just setting around, but disabled for some reason. You then need to download AStyle and set the exe accordingly.
Then… after that I started wandering around the web wondering where to get a predefined set of formatting options for it. It was actually quite hard to find what I was looking for, truth be told. In the end I just look up the documentation and make it work for me. It wasn't too bad; was actually kinda fun seeing the code just fixed up itself.
So here is my self-defined style (C++):
style=kr attach-namespaces indent=tab pad-oper unpad-paren pad-header align-pointer=name keep-one-line-blocks
My only gripe was that the only way to format the code I have to go through the menu:
Tools > Beautifier > Artistic Style > Format Current File.
I mean, I wanted to format a dozen files at once. Couldn't there be a faster way? I can't assign a keyboard shortcut to this command.
…but I'm glad nonetheless 😀

Good morning all,
I have been thinking recently on communication and how our computers link us together. Between email, social marketing sites, networks and nings we are never really out of touch. This brings me to the population of people that either chose to not have or use computers or who may not use them as much.
What if you are thousands of miles away from someone you care about? You email them, right? You may even call. If you have a cell phone you might even text them. How do you handle it if you don't hear back from them? It might be a day, it might be two days. How are you? Do you fret?
I admit I have. With some people I just know I will hear from them eventually and I don't worry. You know the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff"? My brother and I have an agreement that around the six week mark, its time to get in touch. So, why fret if you don't hear from someone for a day or two? Good question.
So, not sweating the small stuff. Right now, I feel like there is no small stuff. The seed pods that fall of the vines are amusement for my son and I. Thunderstorms are welcomed in and the doors stay open all night. The dog wants to play tug o' war for the fifth time....you see, there is no small stuff really because without these things our lives would not be complete.
It's the little details, the little sweet things that make our life complete. So, back to signs of life. Don't let time go by without letting the ones you care about know this. Any sign of life is good.
Hugs and Take care!

Lips have always been one of the most attractive parts of the face, which first of all pay attention. Today in fashion again returned naturalness and natural forms that add youth and beauty to the face of any age. In order to achieve maximum harmony of facial features, patients are increasingly abandoning unsafe injections with dense fillers and surgical procedures, and prefer contour plastic soft fillers based on hyaluronic acid, which provide instant and long-lasting results with minimal side effects for the body.
Fillers — an effective and popular method of correction of appearance, fight against age-related changes, offered by the beauty industry. The practice of their use in plastic lips eliminates asymmetry and wrinkles around the contour, to give a sensual plumpness and lift the corners. The question of which filler for lip augmentation is better to use becomes relevant for every woman who has chosen this method of improving her appearance.
Restylane Perlane – spotter, whose laboratory is located in Geneva, Switzerland, is a representative of a very active and extremely long-acting. It is based on two essential components: hyaluronic acid and oxides of salts, which are responsible for the further spread of hyaluronic acid inside the skin.
If you buy Restylane online, you will see that the structure is not very thick, and therefore quite easy to install and as a result we get the effect of up to one year. After a year, completely eliminated from the body without any consequences for the excretory systems. Restylane filler is designed to fill the deepest nasolabial wrinkles, thereby giving the face freshness and beauty lost over the years. Also, in the range of effects there is increased moisture. The effect is visible after one procedure.
Full volume, shine and freshness of the lips will help to create an injectable filler Restylane Kysse Lidocaine, the basis of which consists of hyaluronic acid with cross-links, stabilized by proprietary technology NASHA. The gel has a low degree of modification, which eliminates the risk of rejection and inflammation after the procedure, providing full compatibility with dermal tissues. Another important advantage of the gel is the almost complete absence of foreign particles, endotoxins and decay products of the stabilizing agent BDDE. Due to the same size of the molecules of sodium hyaluronate, the gel has a high plasticity and good fluidity, evenly distributed within the tissues, leveling the relief and filling the lips seductive and at the same time natural volume.
The optimal concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is 20 mg/ml in the gel, perfectly copes with external influences, makes the filler resistant to deformation and facial movements. The average duration of the effect of the procedure is about 1 year and depends on the individual characteristics and age of the patient. To eliminate any discomfort, the gel is supplemented with an amide anesthetic lidocaine 0,3%.
Radiesse is an injectable material based on gap. Currently, the drug is approved for use in the US, EU, Asia and Russia. It is designed to increase the volume of soft tissues, regeneration and correction of various cosmetic defects.
Radiesse — two-phase filler consisting of microparticles of hydroxyapatite are uniformly distributed in the gel medium. Micropheres of hydroxyapatite are evenly distributed in the gel carrier and occupy 30 % of the total volume of the filler
We recommend buy Radiesse online, as it:
- widely used in aesthetic medicine for non-surgical correction of nose defects, with an increase in the size of the chin, the treatment of dermoatrophy, lipoatrophy in various parts of the face and body, including HIV-infected;
- in surgery and urology — for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, vesicoureteral reflux, restoration of the original size of the vocal cords, with fecal incontinence;
- in dentistry — to build bone defects.
The absence of components of animal and plant origin in the composition of the drug determines its nonimmunogenicity and allows not to conduct preliminary testing for tolerability. In experimental animal studies and many years of clinical trials found that Radiesse does not have any adverse effects on a living organism that, after intradermal injection of the particles remain at the site of implantation, the inflammatory reactions of the surrounding tissue is not observed.
The drug has no irritating, toxic, mutagenic effects, does not cause allergic reactions. Injection Radiesse not affect the pregnancy and the fetus. The aesthetic effect of the introduction of Radiesse are visible immediately after the procedure and lasts 18-24 months.

Conservatives have branded a £500,000 pay-off for Birmingham City Council's former chief executive as 'ludicrous'.
Mark Rogers parted company with the Labour-run council in February after just three years as its £180,000-a-year chief executive.
It followed a tumultuous period – with the authority under scrutiny from a Government-appointed improvement panel, struggling to deliver promised budget cuts and a child protection service rated 'inadequate'.
Now the Post can reveal that Mr Rogers was given £118,231 compensation for the loss of office as well as £369,826 in pension contributions, according to the council's draft accounts. That was on top of the £168,965 salary he received for 11 months' work.
Details of payments to two more senior staff who left, finance officer John Warlow and strategic director responsible for social services Peter Hay, were also included in the published accounts.
It is believed Mr Rogers was asked to go by Labour council leader John Clancy as the council had failed to deliver £49 million promised savings last year.
There is also speculation that Government put pressure on the authority over Mr Rogers' outspoken criticism of its austerity budget cuts.
The payment was attacked by opposition Conservatives, who demanded that councillors should be given a vote on any compensation payments over £100,000 but were denied the opportunity in February.
Conservative shadow cabinet member for efficiency Meirion Jenkins said: "Labour have finally been forced to tell us what we have long since had a right to know. I was dismayed to see the ludicrous sum of money paid out to the former head of the paid service in Birmingham.
"At the time we suspected that Labour were planning something on this scale, although even I didn't think it would be quite this large.
"It's no wonder that, contrary to government guidelines, they tried to keep this secret at the time and prevent full council voting on the matter.
"By sidestepping the council vote, the Labour administration showed an utter contempt for democracy in our city and a disregard for the hard working tax payers in the city who could never hope to receive a payoff like this, especially after just a few years in a job and a track record of failing to deliver on the city's budgets."
The payments are in lieu of notice and to make up pension deficits.
According to council sources the authority was contractually required to pay the pension top-up and compensation to the senior officials.
A Birmingham City Council spokeswoman said:
"The final figure for those who leave during that year will include salary already earned that year and related expenses, any compensation for loss of office and any pension contribution owed by the council.
"In terms of the pension, this may include the costs to the council as a result of the employee retiring. In cases where an individual has retired from the council, the total amount of pension costs can exceed an individual's annual salary.
"We are required to publish our statement of accounts, which will include such payments made to individual officers. It would have been inappropriate to have made any figures public when the payments were still subject to legal discussions."
Last year the Conservative Government consulted on proposals for a £95,000 cap on exit payments to council staff as well as a cap on pension top-ups – to stop the headline-grabbing six-figure payouts. But following lobbying from the local government sector, the plan was shelved.
The council appointed an interim chief executive, former Coventry council boss Stella Manzie, in March and the search is on to find a permanent replacement.
Her key role is overseeing a reorganisation of the council to save £40 million with the possible loss of up to 4,000 jobs.
Mr Rogers offered no comment.

Anger and the Shame That Follows
Anger and the Shame That Follows
Do you feel shameful after having bouts of anger? I did. It was taught to me from a young age that anger was bad, and that it lead to being like my dad. It was a slippery slope of course, and I'm not blaming my family, only that I wasn't taught healthy coping mechanisms when it came to anger. I had to learn my own way, and all the solutions I came to on my own were unhealthy.
What I didn't realise is that when I began to link my anger to feeling bad, and that I shouldn't be feeling these emotions, then it turned into shame after enough time had passed. The shame is real, and it can be utterly devastating to young people. I've lived through that — unhealthy coping mechanisms when it comes to uncomfortable emotions.
My solution was to drink myself into oblivion. Drink until I could sense no more. But that didn't solve the solution, it only put a temporary block on the feeling for perhaps one night, and then it went back to normal again. In this video I describe undealt with anger like a pressure cooker of emotions. Keep them down for long enough and they will erupt in a fiery ball of rage. This is why I promote healthy attitudes to anger and venting so that the cooker doesn't boil over.
I think a lot of people in my era would have experienced this attitude to growing up, and probably can relate – but it's certainly not limited to my generation. I'm sure it's very prevalent in younger generations and the emphasis we all have of being tolerant and understanding, when in actual fact, sometimes the world can be a cruel and unkind place, where it's really hard to be kind and understanding.

Govt set aside N$7 billion for jobs creation - PM
Kuzeeko Tjitemisa WINDHOEK- In the wake of worrisome job losses in the mining, fishing, retail and other sectors, government has put in place strategies to stimulate economic growth and to create jobs. Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila told New Era last week that government has set aside over N$ 7 billion for development interventions to support these strategic policies. She said the N$7 billion represents an increase of 30 percent compared to the amount that was set aside as one of the intervention measures last year. According to her, an additional N$4 billion is to be sourced from the African Development Bank ((AfDB) to complement internal resources towards development projects, mainly infrastructure. "Minerals are finite resources which over time, get depleted," said the Prime Minister, adding that with the mining sector playing a significant role in the country's economy, government has initiated deliberate policy interventions. She said government policy is to diversify the economy in order to reduce the country's reliance on mining and to mitigate the economy's vulnerability to shocks from commodity markets, including the mineral products markets. It terms of these strategies, Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said government is prioritising funding support to industrialisation activities, infrastructure development, agricultural development, land reform, tourism development and skills development. "These projects will create employment opportunities both during and after construction phase through increased investment, improved business productivity and higher economic growth," she explained. She said the newly enacted Public Private Partnership (PPP) law will also enable the country to crowd in private investment and harness private sector capacity towards public infrastructure development and service delivery, all of which will create additional opportunities for employment. Also, she said the new Public Procurement Act creates a new avenue for local enterprise development and market access for local products, all of which will have positive spin off for employment creation. Similarly, she said government has also put in place an Equipment Aid Scheme to assist business start-up and facilitate operational efficiency of SME to create sustainable employment and increase output. She said through this scheme 4500 jobs were created. Over past financial year, Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said DBN investments amounted to N$2.4 billion of which 71 percent or N$1.72 billion went towards private sector development and infrastructure projects. She said about N$525 million of this was earmarked for business ventures for the previously disadvantaged Namibians, N$209 million for youth-owned enterprises and N$107 million for women owned projects. According to her, these investments created an estimated 1400 permanent and 2500 temporary jobs directly. Likewise, she said a new SME financing strategy and youth entrepreneurship, comprising of the Venture Capital Fund, Credit Guarantee Scheme, Training and Mentorship program, has been adopted. The Prime Minister says the Harambee Prosperity Plan (HPP), provides for 121 youth enterprises to be created around the country to boost employment creation and SME driven economic growth for the youth by the youth. "To come back to the mining sector, improved commodity prices are also expected to boost the sector's performance and with that opportunities for employment and exports earnings," she said. Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says as part of efforts to improve beneficiation from mineral products, government policy for the sector is seeking to promote value addition to mineral products and strengthen tax compliance enforcement, to optimise revenue collection and improve government financial capacity to strengthen its interventions in other areas of the economy, create jobs and tackle poverty. "The government is also working to ensure that the traditional mining areas in the country are supported to explore and develop the potential for other economic activities which can offer employment opportunities, including those who may be retrenched from current mining projects," she added.

Subject: minutes from ER teleconference 20010108
Roll: Dave, Lauren, Paul, Norm, Tony Agenda: 1) moving the time of the phone call. 10 - 11 am Pacific time; Norm will move the teleconference time. No objections. Norm or Lauren will update the web page. 2) FAQ entry aimed at new xml-dev readers: postponed to email. We need the executive summary, and maybe should have a slightly longer version as well. 3) System ID delegation: would be useful but it's hard since there's no syntax for hierarchical URNs. DELEGATE only requires some prefix, and it can include the "/" or ":" itself. Paul sees use in delegating system IDs as long as they have a different keyword to public IDs. Norm is willing to try to figure out the ramifications. There are a lot of tricky issues; maybe we should put it on the back burner for the time being. 4) look at Norm's proposal: empty elements easier to deal with in streaming environment syntax for mapping public: <public publicId="xxx" uri="yyy"/> - no objections <system systemId="xxx" uri="yyy"/> - no objections <delegate publicIdPrefix="xxx" catalog="yyy"/> (delegating public IDs; the system IDs are on the back burner). Semantic is if the public identifier uses the initial substring(called prefix), and there is no perfect match in this catalog, then you fetch the other catalog (TR 9401 has the exact semantics). The word prefix is tricky, since what we mean is the starting substring, and prefix is used by namespaces. Potential names: publicIdStart veto: Norm publicIdStartString publicIdStartsWith veto: Dave publicIdInitialSubstring veto: Tony So we will go with publicIdStartString, though this decision may be revisited. Now we have two contentious issues left. What do we call the top-level element? Norm proposes catalog. No objections. It has the override attribute, which implements the override functionality of TR 9401. We need to define what happens if this isn't defined in the catalog. We could make override required. This is an issue. We may want to go beyond 9401, which makes it implementation-dependent. When you want to change the xml:base or override semantics of a subset of the catalog, what should you do? Norm proposes a nesting catalog element. No objections. How do we say this catalog "includes" or "imports" another one; this only takes place when you don't find a match in the first one. It looks like xslt:import. Can you have an import anywhere that the catalog appears? The semantics are that it takes effect at the end of the catalog. This seems like a fallback, but it often isn't used that way. The xslt:import semantics are difficult to understand. We could force the element to go at the end of the file. We could add the semantics of including where the element is; objections to that. Since SYSTEM matches are used before PUBLIC, etc, then the order can be significant, but isn't always. Norm has made a new issue for this. Try to just figure out what we call it to start with. TR 9401 defines the catalog to be an ordered list of catalog entries, and the included catalog inserts its entries at the end of the current list. Nested catalog elements can have their own included catalog - what's the semantic there? The xml:base and override do not carry into the included catalog. You do an in-order traversal of the catalog tree. A nextCatalog entry inserts a new node in that catalog tree. This means you don't have to construct the whole tree. You could order the entries to get that semantic anyway. We could restrict all nextCatalog entries to be at the end; this would be the same behaviour as if they're sprinkled throughout. The nesting we have here seems to be confusing. Using the same element name for the outermost wrapper and the xml:base and override value carrying could be adding to this confusion. Paul proposes changing the nested element name. The name of the thing that points to the next catalog: nextCatalog - no objections. The attribute is called "uri" - no objections. Interior nested element: Norm proposes "group" (perhaps until we come up with something better) - no objections. Should the "delegate" element's attribute currently called "catalog" be called "uri"? Some discussion - leave as "catalog" for the time being - open issue. Lauren

The first was the addition of some new rugs for our entries and kitchen. And let me tell you, we needed them!
|The door into the garage from the family room.
|The door out to the driveway & backyard from the sunroom/playroom.
Then, few weeks ago, Aldi had their kitchen mats advertised for $4.99 as part of a "dorm life" sale. I wasn't going to buy them since they were so inexpensive, but I checked them out while I was there.
They were a lot sturdier than our Big Lots mats, had a higher-quality non-stick backing that doesn't look like it will wear off as easily, and were machine washable. So, for $15, I brought home three navy rugs, which I think will go nicely with the color scheme I picked for our future family room update.
Here they are! I know they don't really have any pizazz, but they are such an improvement from the old ones. It guess it doesn't take much to make me happy. : )
The other "little thing" was a somewhat unwanted change. Two weeks ago, Hubby woke me up to tell me that our coffee maker had died. : ( Not exactly a "good morning, honey." This was especially frustrating because it was only about 3 years old.
We talked it over and decided to go with a percolator because they make good coffee and seem to last longer, but we had to order one online. To hold us over until the percolator arrived, I bought a very inexpensive 12-cup coffee maker at WalMart ($9.50, including tax). It will be nice to have an extra coffee maker for company or back-up if our coffee maker ever dies again.
So, here's the progression of coffee makers on our counter over the last few weeks. I left the not-so-pretty outlet cover in the picture for size reference.
I have to say, we really like the percolator! It makes hot coffee that has a smoother taste (not as bitter as an auto-drip), it looks pretty on the counter, it's less bulky so it can easily be put away, and it uses less electricity than our old programmable Mr. Coffee.
So, those are two small changes that are making me smile this week. Isn't it amazing how the little things can make such a big difference?

Jane is the Food & Cookery Coordinator at Viva!; researching new products; teaching cookery via demonstrations to various age groups and audiences; writing recipes; contributing and maintaining ww.veganrecipeclub.org.uk as well as creating recipes for Viva! and Viva!Health guides, eg Everyone's Going Dairy-free.
Jane went vegan in 2001 after a "bit of an epiphany after snorkelling". She returned to a lunch table filled with enormous dead fish and shellfish and went veggie immediately. Within 2 months, after lots of reading, she was fully vegan.
Through her research she discovered the work of Viva! and thought they were so amazing that she joined and then became a volunteer. In 2004 she started working for them, starting off as Juliet'Gellatley's PA.
Individual Hot Citrus Puddings
These little sweet yet tangy hot desserts are easy to make and look lovely when served. Use lemons or limes – or a combination of the two.
Medjool Dates with Cream Cheese and Sherry Vanilla Sauce
Medjool dates are very large dates that are sold in large branches of supermarkets or good greengrocers. They have a beautiful butterscotch type flavour and are much nicer than the traditional smaller variety. Alternatively, use fresh figs cut in half.
Big Puff Pie
A hearty and delicious pie – basically a stew with a pastry hat – that is fairly quick and easy to make because it uses ready-made puff pastry sheets and the pastry is baked in the oven while the filling cooks on the stove. Then you assemble it and serve – to loud applause, of course!
Fresh and zesty pasta sauce
Genius! The sauce is actually a salad that you add to hot pasta or grains – it melts the avocado a little and warms it all through. Yum yum.
Coconut Parsnip with Red Beans, Lime & Ginger
You need never again stare at the unused parsnips in your fridge because here's a stunningly quick way to use them. Red beans look particularly pretty but the dish works well with black beans too.
Quick Cream of Watercress Soup
A very nice variation on a traditional recipe. It is faster than usual because it is thickened with creamy, protein-rich white beans instead of potato.

organized by Prof. Dr. Sina Rauschenbach, Dr. Susanne Härtel, Julian Holter, M.A. and Tanja Zakrzewski, M.A.
University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais 10, building 8, room 0.56, 14469 Potsdam
September 24th, 3:30 p.m. – September 26th, 12:30 p.m.
Although Sephardic Studies is already established as a field at Israeli and U.S. universities, it is strongly underrepresented in European universities, where Jewish Studies scholars still tend to focus on Ashkenazic histories and cultures. However, Sephardic Studies scholars have often been forerunners in connecting Jewish and non-Jewish history, introducing new research questions and applying new methodological approaches from other disciplines to Jewish history and thought. The conference is the first of a series of conferences designed to connect European scholars involved in the study of Sephardic history and culture and to create new networks of scholarly discussion and cooperation.
The conference will start with an evening lecture by Dr. Jessica Roitman (Leiden) on September 24th 2019 and continue with 13 individual presentations and extensive discussions until September 26th at noon. The topics covered will range from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Geographically, Iberia and the so-called Western and Eastern Sephardic Diasporas will come into view.The detailed program can be found here.
Guests are very welcome. If you are interested, please contact Tanja Zakrzewski (email@example.com) by September 16th at the latest.

In 2016, the first day Chanukka fell on the Christmas Eve. For both feasts the symbol of light plays an important role. In order to get attuned to the festive season a Miracle of Light Celebration of Jewish Studies, Religious Studies and Jewish Theology took place on Tuesday, December 13th 2016, which was organized by the departmental Student Committees.
As an introduction to the complex relationship of Chanukka and Christmas, the movie "The Hebrew Hammer" was shown. Afterwards there was a small program, which included a Chanukka movie made by students, the reading of texts and singing of Christmas and Chanukka songs. A substantial buffet provided sustenance for the convivial evening.

Plus, a kid's watch with big security problems and a warning for Black Friday.Welcome to Cyber Security Today. It's Friday November 16th. To hear the podcast, click on the arrow below: The Mozilla Foundation, which makes the Firefox browser, has a web page with mini-reviews of 70 toys, games, coffee makers, pet finders and other products. Many of them rate poorly for security. So here's a few questions to ask when choosing a wireless gift: Can it spy on you with a camera, microphone or location tracking? If so, does it use encryption? Can you control it through a changeable password? Does the manufacturer issue security updates? Does it delete data it stores on you? Does it have a privacy policy you can understand? Most answers should be on the product's website. But, does a child's toy really need to connect to the Internet? To get a look at the list and Mozilla's thinking go to Foundation.mozilla.org and look for the page "Privacy Not Included."One connected product for kids the MiSafes Kid Watcher Plus, a watch that allows parents to track the location of their children. However, this week the BBC reported that a researcher said the device can be easily hacked, the data wasn't encrypted, nor was the data secured on each child's account. The researcher said he could track children's movements, listen in to their activities and make spoof calls to the watches that appeared to be from parents. Neither the researcher nor the BBC could contact the manufacturer.Speaking of Firefox, the browser comes with a tool called Monitor, which shows if information from your online accounts has been leaked or stolen. This week an updated version of Monitor was released that adds the ability to give an alert if you visit a website that has recently hacked. However, a security company called High Tech Bridge warns this feature isn't complete protection. Monitor uses a list of publicly-known hacked websites. If the breach isn't reported, Monitor doesn't know about it. So you still have to be careful where you go on the web.Finally, Black Friday, a day in late November when companies offer a number of sales online, has become a tradition this time of year. However, it's also a time when criminals try to take advantage of your gullibility. Kaspersky says it already has discovered threats targeting 67 e-commerce brands including 33 consumer apparel sites, eight consumer electronic outlets and three online retail platforms. Scams include intercepting what you type to make off with your username and password, and redirecting users to phishing pages. So, as always, when buying online make sure you're on a safe site. One way is to ensure the Internet address of the site you're on starts with HTTPS. Always watch every page you get sent to.That's it for Cyber Security Today.

I found this video today and thought it was too cool not to share. Aatma Studio created this video using 9,999 computer generated iPhone 5's and 1 real iPhone 5. Pramod Modi Shantharam, CEO and Animation Director at Aatma Studio said, "We modeled, animated and rendered the CG phone where the footage was first motion-tracked and the CG phone was composited over it."
The video also uses Near Field Communications (NFC) technology, which can be seen in the final clip as content is passed from one phone to another. The iPhone does not (yet) use this technology so it's another clue that this incredible video was computer generated. CG or not, seeing a domino effect of 10,000 iPhones is pretty exciting to see. Check it out in the video below and let us know what you think!

This post is a little different from the others in this series. Not every firmware designer will benefit from using a Quality Process. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The first thing we need is some background.
Quality Processes lost their good name in the bad olde days B.A. (Before Agile), and deservedly so. These were the days when we pretended to use the waterfall design methodology. Everyone knew that the emperor was naked, but developers and managers alike were buried under the lies. We all knew waterfall didn't work, so we did what we do now (what actually does work), and we pretended to follow waterfall. We produced some documents whose only purpose was to satisfy our Quality Processes, and we did some other useless stuff too.
The fault here belongs with the layer of lies we constructed to bolster our pretence that waterfall described how we really worked. But Quality got stuck with the blame.
A Quality Process supports, nurtures and encourages the creation of quality firmware. [I won't get stuck, as Phaedrus did, with trying to define "quality". We all know it when we see it.] If it doesn't, it isn't a Quality process, by definition. Those olde processes, and the useless documents they made us write, didn't help the quality of our firmware.
Another problem with some real world Quality Processes is that they were written by people who knew little of what quality firmware is, and how its creation could or should be encouraged. I have even encountered a Quality Process that deliberately included useless requirements, so that the author could discipline staff who didn't adhere to them. Thankfully, this was not in the software business.
There is another problem too: including unnecessary details in necessary constraints. In one company I worked for, our process required that a particular text editor be used to produce a simple ASCII-text document. I pointed out to our Quality Champion that the requirement concerned the document format, and could reasonably be created with any text editor. He couldn't see what my problem was, and chose not to consider the matter further. I made no further attempts at Quality Improvement while I worked with that team.
A good Quality Process places on developers only those constraints that are really needed if our firmware is to be of good quality. Most professional firmware designers could be helped in their work by such a process. People are the problem, not Quality. Good Quality Processes can be created, and your team deserves one.
Our Quality Process mandated the use of a coding standard, but did not specify the standard itself. Control of the coding standard (and its contents) was deliberately left under the team's control; our process only required that the team should use one.
If your development is governed by ISO9000, then you must have a Quality Process. But you are allowed to have a good one! All ISO9000 requires is that you document how you create your firmware, do it, and record that you did. And that's nearly it.
Your Quality Process also needs to show that your development is under control, and how it is kept so. For example, build release is not the time to discover a fundamental flaw in your design. We need to monitor how things are going while development is in progress. In our process, we kept the checks to a minimum. For each module (big or small), the designer had to present a design document for review. This document had two purposes: to verify that the design is good enough for development to continue, and to explain to a new member of the team what your module does, and how it does it. The only other check was a review of the module immediately before sign-off. We found these checks to be quite enough.
A final remark about Quality Processes: they should be written on the basis that the team is composed of professional and trustworthy designers, not reckless miscreants who must be kept in order by threats.
So, does our firmware need a Quality Process? This leads us to a Clintonesque 'define-sex' moment, as we wonder exactly what is meant by need. I think it's fair to say that most of us could benefit from a good Quality Process, even those of us who aren't required by our employers to have one. But a bad Quality Process is death to quality firmware. If you are subject to a bad process, get it changed, or move on, that's my advice.
If you've got here, and now you're wondering why I haven't told you how to write a good Quality Process, you need help. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. To write a Quality Process, you must know what quality firmware is, and how its creation could or should be encouraged. If you don't, seek out someone who does, and persuade them to help you. The end result really will help your development.
This is the fourth in a short series of short blog posts. Their main (intended) purpose is to stimulate discussion, so please leave a comment. Let us know what you have to add to the discussion! [Find me on Twitter as @Patternchaser.]

Happy 90th Birthday, Jimmy!
12 comments:
Jimmy Carter is a national hero and treasure. Very nice, Leroy. Thanks.ReplyDelete
P.S.: It does not escape me that you've published a blog about Carter's birthday on the day of mine! I guess I'm going to have to win a Nobel Prize or something... :D
Happy birthday, Anton!ReplyDelete
And just wait, I am planning to write about you on your 90th birthday. (That may be a challenge, though, as I will be 99 then!)
I'm looking forward to it. :DReplyDelete
Local Thinking Friend Eric Dollard comments,ReplyDelete
"I have no doubt that Carter is a genuinely decent man; perhaps too decent to have been President. His activities as an ex-President have been exemplary and he has consistently supported human rights.
"Unfortunately, the hostage crisis in Iran and the economic crisis brought his defeat in the 1980 election. He did not lose as badly as one might have suspected. I am not convinced that his successor was any better, but then I have my political prejudices just as everyone else.
"I agree with Carter that women's rights is most important rights issue on the planet. Prevention and avoidance of warfare is critical in this struggle."
I think it is no mere coincidence that in 1979 the Southern Baptist Convention was blindsided by a fundamentalist takeover, and then a year later the SBC leadership were cheerleaders in Reagan's victory. Perhaps with some luck Carter might have survived the election, but a radical conservative movement combining libertarian economics and social conservatism was sweeping to power in America, and America has still not recovered. We live under a new golden rule, where those who have the gold make the rules.ReplyDelete
The inauguration of Reagan ushered in an era of borrow-and-spend Republicanism, which replaced the tax-and-spend system which had brought prosperity to postwar America. For today's Republicans, even that is too much, so now we have "starve the beast" Tea Party Republicans who claim austerity will lead to prosperity, even as depression haunts Europe and America. The plutocrats have nearly won, they own the Republicans, and have largely co-opted the Democrats. Depression for the masses is the price they are happy to pay for power for the elite. Income and wealth inequality are at near record levels. Yet, they want more.
Asking if Carter could have defeated Reagan is sort of like asking if Jesus could have avoided crucifixion. There are times when the powers of darkness are on the march. The Roberts Court has thrown every case possible to the rich and powerful, and dark money is trying to bury the environment, the economy, and just about every freedom except the freedom to do stupid things with guns. There is lots of money to be made in manufacturing and selling guns and ammunition. Not so much in helping the halt, the blind, and the lame. There is lots of money to make in criminalizing poverty, not so much in fighting poverty. So jails are booming, even as cities are dying. Ferguson, Missouri is the new America.
Jimmy Carter was too good for America, so we threw him out.
Anti-drone activist Brian Terrell, about whom I wrote in my 6/20/14 blog article, posted strong criticism of President Carter on Facebook, where I had linked to this article, and he gave me permission to post his comments here.ReplyDelete
"I wish Jimmy Carter well on his birthday but find little in this political career that is not lamentable, if not criminal. His support of the Shah might be his biggest mistake (is "mistake" the right word for Carter's deliberate support of a tyrant?) but there are many acts as horrific.
"His support for the death squads and oligarchy in El Salvador? We forget that Carter was the president who ignored Archbishop Romero's pleas for the US to stop arming the thugs who were murdering his people just before he was martyred.
"Afghanistan? Members of his administration brag that Carter lured the Soviets into invading Afghanistan by secretly arming 'freedom fighters' there, giving the Russians 'their Vietnam' that brought them down. Carter might be credited as a founding father of the Taliban.
"When the USS Jimmy Carter was 'christened' in 2004, Carter said that having a Sea Wolf class nuclear attack submarine, a cold war relic obsolete before it was built, was the greatest honor he received in his life, a greater source of pride for him that his Nobel Peace Prize. South Africa, Guatemala, Israel, cruise and Pershing II missiles in Europe (a Carter scheme Reagan took the blame for) the list is inexhaustible.
"Carter is no worse but no better than the succession of presidents before and after him. Good that he builds houses for the homeless, that he is the one to label Israel as an apartheid state, but not enough to atone for what he did as president."
Here are comments from Thinking Friend Glenn Hinson, received yesterday (when I should have posted them here):ReplyDelete
"You've highlighted well the reasons for which we should think of Jimmy Carter as America's most commendable former president. If Baptists ever recognize saints, he deserves to be at the head of the list as one who loved his fellow human beings without partiality."
Local Thinking Friend Donald Wideman also sent comments about Carter and permission to post them here:ReplyDelete
"Thanks for your post on Jimmy Carter. I have had the privilege of meeting him, sitting in his Sunday School class in Plains, visiting the Carter Center in Atlanta and learning of the many accomplishments of that great work in the fields of fair elections, elimination of diseases, and other works.
"I believe the U.S. supported the Shah of Iran for some time before Carter became president. Carter's approval of allowing the Shah to come to the U.S. became the issue that radicals in Iran used to imprison Americans.
"I think history will provide a positive review of Jimmy Carter."Replies
Thanks, Don, for your comments--and for mentioning Carter allowing the Shah to enter the U.S. (for medical treatment in Nov. 1979). That probably was more the target of the Iranian Revolution's criticism than was Carter's toast to the Shah that I mentioned.Delete
And, yes, the U.S. had close ties to the Shah from the beginning of his "reign" in 1941 until he was overthrown in 1979.
I just found someone else celebrating Carter's 90th birthday. Here is the link: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/10/01/1333327/-Cheers-and-Jeers-Wednesday?detail=hideReplyDelete
Local Thinking Friend Joe Barbour wrote,ReplyDelete
"Thanks so much for your blog about Jimmy Carter. I first met him at a convention meeting. He was a very personable man.
"I got to know him much better when he came to Zambia to see about free and fair election of a new president for that country. His presence did much to help that goal to be achieved. We invited him to meet with our missionary group of IMB personnel, had a dinner with him and about 6 hours we spent with him.
"Certainly he has done a far greater work since his presidency than while in office, but I will remember him as a great man."

Grants for Agricultural Enterprises in Slovenia
Slovenian companies specializing in the production of agricultural products and foodstuffs can seek grants. Grants can cover up to 50% of the company's expenditures.
Objectives of Grants:
- construction, repair, reconstruction of objects,
- purchase of equipment for the production and marketing of products,
- purchase of equipment for efficient energy use, renewable energy sources, economical use of water, purification systems, etc. (the list of available grants (pdf, 191 KB)).
In the previous period of the program implementation, 457 enterprises in Slovenia were supported, and the total grant amount made 227.2 million euros. The largest share of funds went to the so-called micro-companies (with less than 10 employees). In total 265 of these companies received 41.6% of all funds. The majority of grants did not exceed 0.5 million euros.
The minimum amount of provided financial assistance amounts to 5,000 euros per application. During the program period of 2014–2020, farms and micro-companies can collect up to 1 million euros based on the grant program, while small, medium and large companies — up to 3 million euros.
Collect Points to Obtain Grants
The distribution of grants among companies is carried out on a competitive basis. The activities of each company are evaluated according to a special credit system. The more points a company collects, the higher the chances of getting a grant are. Last year, the main points were given for the success of the current enterprise activity.
At the same time, the jury estimates the economic efficiency of work (incomes/expenses) and the internal rate of return. The company location is also considered.
Other Factors Influencing the Process of Grant Provision:
- industrial purpose of a grant;
- the company's participation in various forms of cooperation and contractual relations;
- innovations;
- environmental aspects (sewage treatment enterprises, reducing water consumption) and climate changes (grants for EEU (efficient energy use), RES (renewable energy sources), and use of wood in construction)).
A more detailed list and additional information are available at the tender documentation.
