text: Any time Google opens up the vault and gives a peek inside the mountains of data it has at its disposal, marketers would do well to pay attention. For example, if you searched who is the best eCommerce provider in London?? Keyword mapping involves hierarchically classifying the keywords pertinent to your website by intent, relevance and significance, then segmenting them still further into groups and subgroups. The aim is to reach a point where each keyword you use can be closely associated with a single, specific page on your website, which should contain content that closely matches the keyword. Think of new ideologies that can help to expand content or go for evergreen content. Note that the target audience keeps changing and their needs are equally fluid.

One of the major trends in the automotive industry right now is being driven by millennials: The switch from car ownership to mobility services. According to ReportLinker, ridesharing services are contributing to transportation disruption and stagnant new car sales. Millennials have also said that when hanging out with friends, they use ridesharing services 70 percent of the time. With tight student budgets, as well, ridesharing services are growing in demand among university students with increased ridesharing taking place on campus. With reduced cost, ease of use, and simply being able to open up an app and summon a car, this trend is growing and could potentially seriously disrupt the structure of our current automotive system.

How Outdooractive became a successful platform
Part 2 of the interview: How it all began
Hartmut, in the first part of the interview we heard your story and how you founded Outdooractive. What happened then?
Well, the most difficult thing about building an internet platform is to make it a profitable business. Especially if you don't have a direct business model. So if you don't sell something directly and profit directly from it. Unfortunately, we have chosen a very complex topic.
Then why didn't you choose a simpler model?
There were no simple topics left (laughs). To be honest, I didn't choose the theme so consciously according to a business model, but simply based on the needs of the users. As a tourist, planning a holiday is still a puzzle – especially an active holiday. You sit on your computer for hours and end up buying a few books from Amazon to collect the information you need for your holiday. We want to solve this problem by building the world's digital travel guide. We do this by bringing together all those who are involved in tourism with their information in one system. Then we achieve all the information in one database. These pieces of information is then distributed via a network of output channels under different brands. All information are transported from whoever has it to whoever needs it. No matter under which brand, in which language and with which technology.
Sounds complicated.
It is. We've been building on it for 15 years now with over 100 people. Over the years, we have mapped the entire tourist world in one data structure. As a trained structural engineer, I started at the very bottom with the foundation and created the basic data structure on which all systems with artificial intelligence can build upon today and in the future. In times when all other players in our market were busy with the chic presentation of long texts and colorful images on websites, we were dealing with data structures of all tourist data and international standards. This is extremely tedious and time-consuming and at first not visible and completely unsexy. In sales and with our customers, we have also struggled with it. We were always complicated and rigid and the agencies were always much closer to the customer's wish to build a fancy website. Unfortunately, this is still the case with various clients today. Even those who supposedly know how to take care of your data then become weak when commissioning a new website and take the shortcut to an individual solution from the agency. But slowly this will understand better and more and more destinations that they have to change their priorities.
Back to the business model: How does this work at Outdooractive?
Our business model is not direct, but a detour. That makes things more complicated. We don't sell books, trips, overnight stays or guided tours with a commission model like the large (travel) platforms do. For the classification in the entire digital travel market we are the last vertical, namely for the individual traveler. Verticals are market areas for which there are digital platforms. The first verticals were package tours, which were later divided into hotel booking platforms and flight search engines. Then came car rental platforms, table reservations, camping sites, events and bookable experiences. However, the individual tourist does not need a flight first or a hotel or a rental car. What he needs first is inspiration as to where he could travel. This choice of destination, and thus the most important decision in holiday planning, is made when his interests can be fulfilled in the destination. The basis of this decision is the information as to whether one can play golf, go skiing or lie at the beach in the destination. Or also whether there is the right offer for the children and whether there are enough moderate mountain-biking tours, which start directly in that place. All this information is necessary before the guest makes his most important decision: "I travel to the destination". Only then does the guest need accommodation, rental car, event tickets, ski pass, etc. The variety and complexity of the information is extremely high. That's why the topic has not yet been solved by a large platform.
And what is the solution then?
We act on behalf of our B2B customers – 80% of them are destinations of all sizes. Destinations do marketing and want to show potential guests the beauty and advantages of their destination. For this purpose we provide a comprehensive digital basis as a complete solution, with connected reach via many channels. Our service includes the complete service with software, updates, hosting, cartography, community, legal compliance, know-how transfer, content distribution and reporting. We charge our entire service on a monthly basis as Software-as-a-Service (Saas).
Due to the large and growing number of our customers, we are able to invest a large amount in the central development of the software, which currently amounts to around € 5 million per year. The development and operation of the platform is thus a solidarity community, which is partly co-financed by all customers. Similar models exist, for example, among tax consultants in Germany, who jointly finance the DATEV software via SaaS. Every euro collected, is immediately invested in the further development of the platform and implemented according to the wishes of the customers. Of course, we cannot fulfill every wish of every single customer, but we listen carefully and align our development priorities with the market. For years we have had the largest amount available for central development, which has brought us into the role of market leader. We are a little proud of that (laughs).
But there are other partners apart from the destinations, aren't there?
Yes, that's true. We try to bring together all those players involved in tourism. There are incredibly many players who do business in tourism, who are interested in information and who maintain their own data. Our mission is to have all this data in one database. It simply makes no sense if a tourism association has to maintain the information about the Alpine Club huts again, or cannot offer the information to the guests. So it simply makes sense that both data sources are merged: the tourist information of the destination and the information of the Alpine Club huts. The same applies to a great deal of other information, such as nature conservation, means of transport, ski resorts, accommodation and all other services and products in a destination. Google is already the furthest. It collects the information from all websites and present it beautifully prepared to the user's questions.
Then it would be easiest to let Google do that?
Easy, yes. This is also a serious decision that we have to make: Either you let Google and the other big players make it easy, but then you have to live with what Google does and what business model Google is building for destinations. It could be for example possible in the future, that you only look good or only get bookings if you pay Google and the other big gatekeepers of the Internet.
Or you take the tax into your own hands as a destination. This starts with a database in which you collect all the information about the destination. The consolidation and management of information will be the most important task of destination management in the future. The data will then be made available in good quality to all major platforms. This means, that the destination itself has control over what is mainly written and disseminated in terms of information. That is exactly the reason why Outdooractive exists. It is our task to be the central content hub where all information is collected, structured and processed according to international standards and made available to all platforms and channels.
Then the key to success is the dissemination of data?
Exactly. Everyone who wants to get information today uses different tools and platforms. The decision on how to obtain information is just as individual as the users themselves. The focus is on information from friends and acquaintances that one learns through private chats and social platforms (which can also be personal conversations or birthday celebrations). But there are also news feeds, forums and blogs, as well as content, rating, shopping and booking platforms.
According to a study by Google, destination websites are only visited by 19% of travelers at all, and the trend is declining. This shows that although users need the information from the destination, they no longer consume it via the destination's website. The detailed information from the destination, on the other hand, is essential and is increasingly required in structured digital form. Google & Co. will not create the detailed information, but only disseminate it.
Why do we need all the details?
Competition is getting tougher. On the one hand, because the world is getting smaller and smaller as a result of digitization and the destinations are facing much more international competition.
On the other hand, because user interfaces are becoming increasingly digital. Chatbots, language assistants and all artificial intelligence systems, which will now conquer the market very quickly, function completely differently from what we have been used to so far. When you ask Google a question, you get hundreds of thousands of hits that you can all look at when you work your way through the results page from top to bottom.
If you ask Hey, Google or Amazon Alexa a question, you get exactly one answer. The question, where to go for a bike ride next weekend, will be answered mercilessly by the systems with an answer tailored to the questioner. Then you are either in it or not. And questions, which one asks by language, are much more complex, there one asks already more easily after an excursion with good weather and a stopover possibility with vegetarian meals and a child playground. Google and Amazon can only provide meaningful answers to these questions if this information is made available in a structured, semantically prepared form.
Is that the reason for your success?
Not yet, that is the future. We are building on solutions for this extremely exciting future and we have done the important basic work for it over the years. On this basis, our customers will benefit greatly, even if these statements about the future do not yet show any visible success. Rather, we are busy passing on our know-how on all topics to our customers and further developing the entire industry, for example with the Outdooractive Conference.
The current success of our platform is primarily due to the fact that the content of our customers is already experiencing a large additional reach. Currently, our customers' content receives on average approximately 25% of their reach via their own brand's output channels (websites and apps) and 75%, three times as much reach via all other channels connected to the platform. This reach is also centrally reported in the Content Reach Report on all 3,000 channels and can be viewed in the DMS.
Does this mean that the best advertisement is the creation of content?
Exactly. Creating content is absolutely sustainable when it comes to structured and georeferenced content on the platform. The oldest contents in the platform are 15 years old and generate reach every year. The maintenance effort is low, since little changes are made to the static information. Via the platform, the contents are automatically linked with other contents, brought into the correct context of the applications and played out in many channels.
The evolution of the Outdooractive Platform also shows the trend towards digitization in tourism.
Are you curious how the story continues?
Look forward to the third part of the interview on our Corporate Blog

This 30-year-old Chinese female presented for evaluation of granular corneal dystrophy. She had a strong family history of cornea problems suggesting an autosomal dominant inheritance which supported the diagnosis of BIGH3 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 gene, TGFβ1) related disease. Vision was 20/20 in both eyes.
Slit lamp photos demonstrate gray-white breadcrumb-like opacities in the anterior cornea of both eyes, which is classic for granular dystrophy.

Knowledge and Silence…
Author: Rebecca Solnit
It doesn't stand out much, just an unremarkable storefront on Main Street. I happened upon the accompanying historical marker as I was enjoying an ice cream cone last summer while wandering around the tiny town of Dayton, Wyoming, located just east of the Bighorn Mountains. But despite the humble trappings, the building was home to an extraordinary resident. A schoolteacher and single mother of two who raised her family on her own following the death of her husband, Susan Wissler was elected mayor of Dayton in 1911, by a vote of 31-22, becoming the first female mayor in Wyoming's history and one of the first in the entire country. The lives of American women have changed a lot over the subsequent century, but full and equal rights are a goal that has not yet been reached. Award winning writer Rebecca Solnit elaborates on this idea in her collection of essays, Men Explain Things to Me.
Inspired by an unsolicited lecture she received while at a posh social gathering at a chalet in Aspen in 2008, the lead off essay explores why women are so frequently silenced by men, even if they're clearly more knowledgeable on a given topic. Originally appearing on tomdispatch.com, the essay was circulated widely and although Solnit didn't coin the term, it helped boost the popularity of a new verb for the 21st century, "mansplaining".
The book includes six additional essays also focused on women's rights, from rape and violence to marriage equality and Virginia Woolf. Each essay is excellent, whether she's pondering why so little attention is devoted to the fact that men commit 90% of all violent crime or exploring what true freedom would really mean for women.
An astute observer who writes with concision and sharpness, Solnit deftly cuts away the niceties and reveals some of the core issues that face women today. Displaying a deceptively matter-of-fact and often humorous delivery, Solnit's essays are affecting and powerful, moving me much more than I had expected.
Despite that fact that women have been struggling for equality for centuries, Solnit remains surprisingly optimistic. She acknowledges the many gains that have been made, but doesn't sugarcoat the obstacles that remain. Men Explain Things to Me is a remarkable collection by an extraordinary writer. Highly recommended in the Equality State and beyond.

In section 12 of NFPA 13 (here is the statement that needs to cleared by NFPA)
Ceiling Slope. The sprinkler system criteria specified
in Chapter 12 and Chapters 14 through 20 are intended to
apply to buildings with ceiling slopes not exceeding 2 in 12
(16.7 percent) unless modified by a specific section in Chapter
12 and Chapters 14 through 20.
The issue here is that in chapter 12 and 14 through 20 there are no statement or modifications when ceiling slope exceed 16.7 percent. The problem is that NFPA never address the issue in those chapters if the slope is higher than 16.7%. What will be the criteria if the slope of ceiling exceed in storgae area?
Hope NFPA can address this issue, maybe they overlooked this for years

By Bailey Brockman
Hola chicos and chicas!
We are officially one month into our adventures of second semester! Being in a foreign country for this period of time has resulted in various stages of adjusting to culture, a few unwanted stomach bugs (don't worry moms, I assure you we are being careful and getting looked after), and a whole lot of memories!
We had a full weekend of two volcano hikes and individually meeting with our visitors J. and Andrea. Following that we eagerly dove into our third week of Spanish classes in hopes of miraculously becoming fluent, and eliminating the somewhat awkward encounters that a language barrier brings when immersed in a foreign culture.
Monday started the many festivities this week held; the most obvious being the day of love, or as we know it, Valentine's Day. We were challenged by our leaders to take some time and possibly a little PMG budget to spread some love. To all of our delight, 3 of our boys decided to surprise everyone on Tuesday morning before class with individually wrapped bouquets of flowers, a smile and simple message of "we love you" as an early Valentine's Day gift.
This was only the beginning of a week of celebrations. Not only did Tuesday mark the day before Valentine's Day, but it was also Carnival day (a tradition in South and Central America, celebrating the beginning of Lent); and to top it off, my host mom's birthday.
The vibe one gets when it comes to celebrations in Guatemala is "go big or go home," with a whole lot of confetti and fireworks. To say the least, this week brought a lot of "happy days" filled with hugs, gifts, school carnivals, and more confetti – leaving my host family no other option than to have a party! My new cousin Tana and I (our host moms are sisters) had the incredible opportunity to be part of a birthday party "done right" where we preceded to smash confetti-filled eggs (pica-pica) over each other's heads for a hour. In addition, the group of us teaching English as our independent service project was able to witness the high school's extravagant carnival.
To our surprise, the celebrations didn't end there. Wednesday (Valentine's Day) was Ash Wednesday and the day that the Antigua soccer team beat Guatemala City 3 to 2, which our whole group also had the amazing opportunity see. Showing up in green to support our closest city, Antigua, we were welcomed without a question to the full stands of crazy fans.
Fun fact: The Antigua team is know as Panzas Verdes which translates to Green Bellies. This name originates solely from the fact that they eat too many avocados, which explains why their mascot is an avocado with a face on it.
After this very full week of learning, celebrations, and cultural activities, we were more than ready for the weekend where half of the group headed to Lanquin for an adventurous, relaxing weekend and the other half to Santiago Lago Atitlan.
Ultimately, coming out of this week, I have learnt how to celebrate Guatemalan style, that glitter never really comes out of your hair, and that we as an Outtatown group have been so graciously welcomed into this country's culture. Regardless of my rudimentary Spanish and the fact that I'm basically a stranger, my host family continues to treat me like part of the family. I am so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing people on this journey and for the experiences and adventures had and yet to come.
Until next time!

This Blu-ray release a live recording of Verdi's tragic masterpiece in an elegant production directed by Tom Cairns at Glyndebourne Opera House in 2014. …Conductor Mark Elder reveals his mastery of the opera's dramatic shape, coaxing each and every nuance out of the London Philharmonic Orchestra to create beautifully stylish music-making. © 2016 new-classics.co.uk Read complete review
…[Venera Gimadieva] is beautiful and charming, and her voice is at all times lovely, including some nice soft singing in high notes. She reminds me, in fact, of Anna Netrebko. © 2015 Seattle Gay News Read complete review
VERDI, G.: Traviata (La) (Glyndebourne, 2014) (NTSC) OA1171D
VERDI, G.: Traviata (La) (Glyndebourne, 2014) (Blu-ray, HD) OABD7169D
The Russian soprano (Venera Gimadieva) has, and shows skilfully, a grasp of the situations in which the character finds herself that is not only telegraphically clear but most un-prima donna-ish. She is backed up at every stage by Sir Mark Elder's fresh beating, pacing and balancing of the score.
Gimadieva (whose coloratura is as consistently immaculate as the rest of her performance) is well supported by her fluently voiced…American Alfredo and the smaller roles (especially Molendowska's there-all-the-time Annina). © 2015 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone
The current release gives us two stars of the future whose portrayal of their respective characters will surely grow as they spend more time inhabiting their roles. …this Glyndebourne Festival production is certainly one worth watching and Maestro Elder's delivery of this score is as good as I have heard it in recent memory. © 2015 Blu-rayDefinition.com Read complete review
In this performance Venera Gimadieva certainly has the figure du part and looks quite stunning in her dress for the party. Her warm soprano is full-toned yet capable of the extended flights of coloratura and vocal flexibility. She acts well and her diction and vocal characterisation is good throughout…
…I am a great admirer of Mark Elder, especially in Verdi. Conducting without a score he paces the drama superbly whilst giving the singers every support. He does indulge himself a little in the preludes, milking the motifs that bring tears to the eyes. The lesser parts are all well taken whilst the vibrant chorus are a delight. © 2015 MusicWeb International Read complete review
Moving the time forward to the mid-point of the 20th century, Glyndebourne's 2014 staging of La Traviata from Tim Cairns is a vivid recreation of Dumas's tragic story. He has Verdi's posthumous approval, as the composer wanted the original production to be set in his 'present day', though he was overruled and the premiere took place dressed in the previous century so as not to ruffle contemporary society sensibilities. Here we have highly fashionable dresses for the females, and sharply cut suits for the men who are buzzing around the delectable Violetta, mistress to Baron Douphol. Into her life comes the highly personable young Alfredo with whom she elopes to the countryside to live a quiet life with him. Everything is fine until his father catches up with him, Violetta eventually dying—as was fashionable in 19th century opera—from consumption. …the cast do resemble the persona involved, and the singing is very good, with a firm and resolute voice of Tassis Christoyannis, as Alfredo's father, rather stealing the opera from the two major protagonists. Maybe Gimadieva is rather too predictable and one dimensional for those brought up on Maria Callas's inspired characterisation, but she is vocally powerful and deals admirable with Verdi's vocal acrobatics. With a typical Italian tenor voice of yesteryear, Michael Fabiano, is an Alfredo of real quality who really gets worked-up in the third act denunciation scene. Eddie Wade as the Baron is vocally and visually an Italian smoothy, with the remainder of the cast doing all that is necessary. The sets from Hildegarde Bechter just about do enough to suggest the time and place… The chorus are energetic, and the orchestra, conducted by Mark Elder, offer routine support. Technically the filming is excellent, the colours vivid and sharply focussed, with the close-up and distance shots nicely balanced. © 2015 David's Review Corner

Egyptian film maker Rammy Elsaadany joins us in the studio to review the film and soundtrack for 'In Between', an insightful take on the lives of modern Palestinian women by first time director Maysaloun Hamoud. Set in Tel Aviv, three different women navigate the trials of modern day urban living together. We'll also listen to several of the songs and artists on the soundtrack, a rich and unusual (tune in to find out why) soundtrack that also drives the narrative.
How much is the film, produced by Shlomi Elkabetz a decent portrayal of life for Palestinian women today and is it really propaganda, as laid out by some? The film's director was the subject of the first fatwa since 1948, to be issued from Palestine.
The story features a young, engaged Muslim woman from the ultra conservative West Bank town of Umm al-Fahm who move into a Tel Aviv apartment with two liberal Arab Israeli women. The veiled student eventually rebels against restrictive traditions after going through a traumatic experience and being supported by her sensitive new housemates.
In Palestinian Israel, it was in fact from the town of Umm al-Fahm where many of the strongest criticisms of the film came from, with the municipality issuing a statement condemning the film and banning local screenings there. The actresses also received death threats.
"The mayor gave a speech, which started with the sentence, "I didn't see the movie, but …" They claim the movie is haram, it is forbidden, especially for girls … but they actually illustrated what I was trying to say. I couldn't really ask for more, and people went to the cinemas to see what was going on about this film."

Any project starts with a model (paper, mental, miniature, prototype, etc).
To validate the model, we ask a variety of questions based on metrics we define. Does it look good enough? Does it sell enough? Do people like it? Etc.
Although these questions can help validate the model, only client referrals can tell you if your business is to have marketing success.
If the community around your business is viable and self-sustainable – every new client bringing in another client (+1) – beyond friends and family, chances are, it will be when more people get to it (Raphael Ettore).
Until then, forget about beta, alpha, etc; build a model that works beyond your circle and expectations. Once the model is sustainable, and only then, take it out of the sandbox and start investing money into marketing.
How likely are people to recommend your current business?

Aesthetic Lasers Blog
1 Jun
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the FDA's approval of suction lipoplasty systems, commonly known as liposuction. Although versions of it, like suction-assisted lipectomy, had been recorded in medical literature since the 1970s for non-cosmetic uses such as the removal of fatty tumors, it wasn't until 1989 that it was officially rubber-stamped for aesthetic body contouring.
Lipo means fat. Liposuction is an established and well researched procedure to liquefy and remove (using vacuum suction) stubborn deposits of fat, which are resistand to strenuous exercise and strict diet.
In the last two decades, liposuction's popularity has escalated—it's currently the second most popular surgical cosmetic procedure, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (after breast augmentation)—and the same is true of its safety and innovation.
The technology developed over the years has paved the way for versions of liposuction that include ultrasound assisted, laser assisted, and Vaser assisted lipolysis. Laser liposuction is one of the more effective and minimally invasive techniques, which allows physicians to achieve excellent results with topical anesthesia and very minor discomfort for the patient.
Regardless of technique, a certain understanding of body proportions play an enormous role in a successful outcome. If this landmark year is the one in which you choose to undergo liposuction, be sure to choose a board-certified surgeon with extensive experience.

|Inhibiting estrogen production is a common means of preventing breast cancer recurrence. The aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are becoming the preferred treatment over tamoxifen as adjuvant therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. Like all adjuvant therapies, AIs have adverse events (AEs) associated with their use, many of which resemble symptoms common to menopause. Because of the greater efficacy of AIs in preventing breast cancer recurrence over tamoxifen, these AEs may be considered tolerable by many patients and often can be effectively managed and/or prevented. Educating patients about anticipated AEs may help them understand, accept, and cope with these AEs. This article reviews the AEs associated with different adjuvant AI treatments and highlights some strategies to manage them effectively. It also highlights the importance of patient education regarding AI therapy and involvement in treatment decisions, which may lead to better long-term adherence and ultimately to better outcomes.

Poltergeist Project 02 – Graphics/Titles/Interview
I thought it would be fun to do a short interview with Ellie, the talented little girl who helped me produce my short Poltergeist video. I wanted to practice animating opening titles for the opening sequence of the interview using a spooky Poltergeist aesthetic. I designed the graphics in Photoshop first, using the font "Cut the Crap", and then applied the design to Premiere Pro CC and used the new essential graphics features to create the same look and feel. I also added several displacement presets to create a glitching TV effect. Through the course of the interview I also added several glitch effects as well as some 80's VHS style noise.

The restoration starts with ordering the timber. There are a number of specialist timber merchants in the Netherlands who are able to supply timber planks of sufficient length.
The timber that you want to order must first and foremost be of excellent quality; cabinet-making quality is not necessary but the timber must be healthy, there must be no rot (watch out for brown patches on the cross end!) and there must be not too many knots. Secondly, you have to order sufficient timber, but not too much. Normally you order one or more trees that are sawn into the planks of the required thickness by the sawmill. You of course order the type of timber that you need; this can vary for each type of boat. The mussel boat 'Nieuwe Zorg' is built from oak, therefore a number of cubic metres of oak was ordered.
Before you can order the timber you first of all calculate the volume of timber and the thicknesses you require on the basis of the lines plan, the design of the hull and frames and the boat construction drawing (image 1). You proceed as follows:

Bow, Elfin - Live In Concert At The Epstein Theatre DVD,
As well as the CD, it is also possible to purchase this DVD, which as the title suggests was recorded at the Epstein Theatre in Liverpool. It was the night of the album launch, and in March 2017 Elfin Bow brought with her a full band, many of whom had played on the album. I have been to a few album launches over the years, but I think this is the first one I have ever seen where the album is played in its entirety, in the same order. A couple of things stood out for me from this performance, aside from the very good sound and excellent multi-camera work which certainly doesn't let one realise that in many ways this is a low-budget event with no label support. Firstly, Elfin Bow really doesn't know just how good she is. Between the songs there are times when she obviously doesn't believe she has got this far, to have recorded an album and now be onstage in front of a sell-out crowd who are there just to hear her songs. Secondly, she is as powerful and compelling in concert as she is in a studio.
In many ways this felt less like a gig, and more like a gathering of friends, as the whole concert feels as if it is way more intimate than one would normally expect. When she said that she finally had worked out how to swap guitars without knocking off her top hat, no longer needing the assistance of Muirreann McDermott Long (backing vocals), it felt like a conversation between friends. The feeling was that the band weren't there in the role of musicians, but more as friends all working together to ensure that Elfin Bow's songs are treated with the respect they deserve.
Needless to say, her vocals are spot on, and she takes us on a journey through her stories, swapping between different guitars and mandolin as necessary, and the arrangements ensure it is always her voice which is front and centre. Being a true Liverpudlian she invites everyone in the audience to the after-show party at the pub and makes sure she gives them details of where it! At times her performance is a little naïve, with that underlying feeling that possibly she doesn't believe she should be there, and that adds to feeling of friendship coming through. This isn't a rock god telling everyone just how great they are, but rather a singer hoping the people in the audience like her songs. Needless to say we all do, and the feeling of love really does come through the DVD.
So far she has released one full-length CD and one DVD, both of which contain the same material. But one was recorded in the studio, and the other is live in concert, and the only way of working out which is best is by having both. Elfin Bow is a wonderful talent, and I am so looking forward to seeing and hearing what she does next.

Head Coach Mike Bobo Had A Spring Camp Press Conference
The CSU Rams are starting spring practice and coach Mike Bobo was optimistic about Collin Hills chances to play.
Contact/Follow @J0shFr3d & @MWCwire
There is a possibility Collin Hill plays in the 2018 season
To start the CSU Rams 2018 spring camp, head coach Mike Bobo held a press conference prior to the start of the first practice. One of the main things he talked about was the status of Collin Hill. As announced last week, Collin Hill tore his ACL again. While it was assumed that Hill would miss the 2018 season, coach Bobo hasn't ruled it out yet.
"If there is a silver lining, it's that it happened now, rather than a month from now or in fall camp," Bobo said. "It's about five-and-a-half months until the first game. It's not out of the question, but it's a long rehab. His mindset is right, but you can only go as fast as your knee will let you sometimes."
For now, the Rams will prepare the three quarterbacks on the roster for the starting position. J.C. Robles, Justice McCoy, and Judd Erickson will compete for the starting position. There's also the possibility that CSU brings in a graduate transfer as CSU has two open scholarships left. And according to the Fort Collins Coloradoan, the Rams have brought in another walk-on QB in Salvetti D'Ascoli from Ralston Valley High School in Arvada, Colorado.
With 23 players graduating and another 4 graduating and electing not to play their final year, the Rams will be a little short-handed this spring. In addition to Collin Hill's ACL tear, a number of Rams will miss at least part of spring practice: Jeff Taylor (should be back), Ben Knox (shoulder, possibly misses all spring), EJ Scott (ACL tear last fall, will do limited work), Tyler Smith (surgery, out for spring),
Marcus McElroy (blood clots, Bobo hopes to have him back by summer), Jordan Fogal (shoulder), Jamal Hicks (arm), Christian Cumber (ACL tear, hopefully cleared by fall), Emmanuel Jones (surgery, doing limited work; hopes to get cleared by late spring), and Toby McBride (back, still recovering from back injury that limited him to four games in 2017).
Coach Bobo also said that wide receiver Preston Williams and defensive back Braylin Scott will participate in spring practice. Preston Williams sat out last season after transferring from Tennessee. Williams was suspended from the team last fall. Braylin Scott was suspended for the 2017 season after being arrested on burglary and theft charges. Those charges are still pending, as Scott is awaiting an April trial.
There were two position changes announced. After switching from defensive back to wide receiver for the 2017 season, Robert Awunganyi will return to the defensive side of the ball. Emmanuel Jones will switch from linebacker to defensive end.
The Rams will have 15 spring practices culminating in the spring game on April 21st at noon at CSU Stadium.

The Spider Queen Book 1 Chapter 87
Volume 1 Chapter 87 The Fearsome Tarkkakans
(Outer region of the zone)
A group of students were sitting around and discussing the announcement sent by the exam administrators with different thoughts running through their minds.
Some wanted to investigate the red dots on the map in case they were actually hidden opportunities while others were in favour of moving away from this mysterious force.
The team leader was getting a headache over the matter and decided to let the decision be made by a vote between the members.
There were twenty members in the squad, so the voting was a rather straightforward process.
It was a shame that the discussion proved to be a fatal distraction as none seemed to notice that one red dot had begun to rapidly approach their location.
A shrill cry of rage was heard from beneath a student's feet as an enormous beast burst out from the ground and chomped down on her legs.
The girl shrieked out in horror as her companions rushed to her aid while unleashing qi techniques and weapon strikes against the creature.
But this low-level Insectoid beast seemed to take no damage as the pinkish fleshy blob just absorbed all the attacks.
Blood spurted out of the girl's legs as the razor-sharp teeth of the creature pierced the flesh easily.
She could not take the pain any longer and activated her barrier device to teleport herself back to the transport ship.
The beast opened its maw to take a bigger bite but strangely enough its prey had somehow disappeared.
Where had it gone? Was the food hiding?
It was not very intelligent so it sniffed the air a few times but could not find where the delicious snack had gone.
The team leader of the squad noticed that the beast was momentarily distracted and hurriedly issued a series of commands.
"F.u.c.kwe need to leave this area now and head further inside."
"But sir what about our tents?" another member asked.
"Just leave the damn things and run!"
To the leader's credit, it was a decisive move on his part to abandon all the supplies on the ground and immediately run but he inadvertently made a serious error in judgement.
Members of this insectoid race. were pack animals.
One beast after another erupted from the ground and soon agonising scream could be heard from the terrified students.
"Move! Move!" Qiana yelled as Sophie and the rest darted through the forest. They passed several other groups of students along the way but paid them no attention.
Whatever those red dots were. they moved faster than expected.
What was strange was that the red dots seemed to be unaffected by obstacles in their path such as trees or cliffs and kept travelling in straight lines.
Sophie reasoned that the only explanation was that this unknown force was travelling either below ground or flying in the skies above.
"How close are we from the center of the zone?" Rachel panted as beads of sweat rolled down the sides of her face.
Qiana consulted the holographic map before making a rough estimate of about three hours.
Travelling to the interior of the zone did increase some risks as there would be more confrontations with enemy candidates but the red dots getting closer and closer put a sense of urgency in their hearts.
Archangel Descent!
White wings filled with holy energy sprouted from Rachel's back as she flew above the treetops to scout the area ahead.
"Where is the nearest red dot?" she called out.
"There should be one around three kilometers to our right," Sophie checked the map and replied.
Rachel squinted her eyes to get a better view but could see no enemies in sight.
Meanwhile Astrid at the front of the pack with her powerful hindlegs making large jumps that covered a great distance with every leap.
She turned her head around and noticed that Qiana had a tired expression on her face as stealth techniques did not also grant her a great amount of stamina.
"You. what the heck are you doing?!" Qiana stammered as Astrid suddenly stopped and approached her.
The Mendolesa girl scooped Qiana up in a princess carry and ran with the now blushing girl in her arms.
"Put me down right now you stupid mutt!"
Sophie cracked a small smile at the actions of the duo but then immediately perked her ears up to listen for any movement in their surroundings.
She had no way of knowing but already the surviving members of the entrance exam had drastically dwindled to around two thousand.
Scouting type Insectoids were nothing more than simple cannon fodder in Interstellar wars and one expert could eliminate their entire presence from a battlefield.
But for students in the qi body and spirit stage, they presented a tough challenge to overcome.
"Stop right there!" came a fierce voice.
Sophie snapped out of her thoughts and realised that a group of seven students had surrounded Astrid and Qiana.
Astrid was eager to fight and had already activated the mana inside her body which caused a heavy pressure that was emitted from her runes.
"We don't have time for this," Sophie muttered to herself. She yelled out an order to Astrid when she saw the Mendolesa girl stopping her movements to fight.
"Astrid you go on ahead with Qiana and Rachel. I'll take care of these guys."
"Are you sure?" came a reply with a touch of disappointment.
Sophie narrowed her eyes in displeasure at Astrid's reluctance and the wolf girl soon got the message and just bent her knees and leapt out of the ambush.
Rachel flew by overhead while shooting the Sophie a look that signaled her to hurry up and finish the battle.
The other students had attempted to follow Astrid, but Sophie soon arrived at their location and activated her carbon fibre whip.
The long and thin weapon coiled dangerous around Sophie's hands as she carefully circulated her qi to use one of her more powerful cultivation techniques.
Black Waves Consume All!
The whip in Sophie's hand started to move in a strange pattern as she jumped into the air and lashed out towards her would-be attackers.
Waves of dark qi energy smashed into their bodies and the force of the attack caused the barrier devices to instantly activate.
Sophie landed gracefully on the ground and approached the weapons that were now scattered about
One of them caught her eye which was a collection of vials with the symbol for poison printed on the side.
She planned to just grab it quickly and then run to catch up with the rest of her teammates.
What could only be described as the cross between a pig squealing and a shrieking cry of a child was heard from below Sophie's feet.
Sophie's quick reflexes saved her life as she leapt backwards as the creature's jaws snapped at the place she had been before.
The beast was one that she had never encountered so far in the examination and yet it seemed oddly familiar.
Sophie quickly shifted through the memory inheritance her aunt had given her and a particularly nasty species crossed her mind.

Generic OGNL Controller without Spring WebFlowJanuary 22, 2007
While working on various web projects many times I felt guilty for writing controllers that perform one-two rows of the code.
It must be easier way! And when I read and tried Spring WebFlow I really liked their approach for defining how to call methods on any exposed bean.
It is what I was looking for. Simple things made easy inside the xml config:
<bean-action bean="cartController" method="changeQuantities"> <method-arguments><argument expression="flowScope.viewCommand"/></method-arguments> <method-result name="viewCommand" scope="flow"/> </bean-action>
However Spring WebFlow has many aspects that would stop you from using it for entire site. Click-around navigation and SWF do not play well together.
So what I need is ability to define OGNL expression in Spring coonfig without using SWF. What looked scarry on first sight turned to be extremely easy task.
I did some prototyping of idea and here is what I got in spring config file:
<bean id="profileView" class="com.cochlear.mcc.web.GenericFormController"> <property name="formView" value="profileView"/> <property name="manager"><ref bean="profileManager"/></property> <property name="viewScript"><value>manager.getProfile()</value></property> </bean> <bean id="profileForm" class="com.cochlear.mcc.web.GenericFormController"> <property name="formView" value="profileForm"/> <property name="manager"><ref bean="profileManager"/></property> <property name="modelClass"><value>com.cochlear.mcc.profile.model.ProfileDTO</value></property> <property name="viewScript"><value>manager.getProfile()</value></property> <property name="postScript"><value>manager.updateProfile(#object)</value></property> <property name="successView" value="redirect:profile.view"/> </bean>
Not as clear as in SWF maybe but enough to prove the idea. It is concise, it does the job. You do not have to write FormActions for trivial things.
Here is what I have in GenericFormController:
public class GenericFormController extends SimpleFormController{ protected Object manager; protected String viewScript; protected String postScript; protected Object formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException { try { if(StringUtils.hasText(viewScript)){ OgnlContext context= new OgnlContext(); populateOgnlContextCommon(context, request); Object expr = Ognl.parseExpression(viewScript); Object res=Ognl.getValue(expr, context, this); return res; }else{ return getCommandClass().newInstance(); } } catch (OgnlException e) { e.printStackTrace(); throw new ServletException(e); } } protected ModelAndView onSubmit(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object commandObject, BindException errors) throws Exception { Object command = getCommandClass().cast(commandObject); try { if(StringUtils.hasText(postScript)){ OgnlContext context= new OgnlContext(); context.put("command", command); populateOgnlContextCommon(context, request); Object expr = Ognl.parseExpression(postScript); Ognl.getValue(expr, context, this); }else{ throw new ServletException("No postScript specified"); } } catch (Exception e) { errors.reject(null, "Error:"+e.getMessage()); return showForm(request, errors, getFormView()); } return new ModelAndView(getSuccessView()); } protected void populateOgnlContextCommon(OgnlContext context, HttpServletRequest request){ context.put("request", request); context.put("session", request.getSession()); context.put("user", SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal()); } // Getters and Setters here .. // ... }
When I have time I will do something more production grade. For now I just glad to know that it is achievable and quite simple actualy.
POSTable HTML linksJanuary 17, 2007
When building web sites you often have to produce POST request on user's actions. Many times without having user – editable form fields. Server just expects you to send POST. The standard solution is to make hidden form, hardcode some fields value and dynamically populate other values when user presses submit button. It does the job. But the code is spoiled with these pseudo forms and, I believe, you never gonna like it.
There is other approach that is much more concise and programmer friendly (tm:) . The trick is to construct and submit form on-the-fly. Let's start with JavaScript function that exploits Prototype:
Discovering Spring MVCAugust 28, 2006
Spring MVC is not taken seriously jet because of almost absent documentation. For 2.0 version they wrote couple more paragraphs. But still only pages 214-250 devoted to Spring MVC itself. Many features left undocumented.
For my recent project I had to build a form having 6 different sets of fields. Depending on selected value in combo-box I process specific set. The rest of fields are ignored. That was easy to decide but how to tell Spring no to bind some fields?
One approach is to process input manually disabling automatic binding by overriding supressBinding function:
protected boolean suppressBinding(HttpServletRequest request) { return false; }
Will work but leaves whole burden of binding on your shoulders. You do not want that. The other approach is letting Spring know which fields you want to process and which not. Take a look:
Improvement of JSON to JAVA marshalling with JSON-RPCAugust 16, 2006
During debugging one of my porjects I've spoted the following code in BeanSerializer.java from JSON-RPC library:
public Object unmarshall(SerializerState state, Class clazz, Object o) ... Method setMethod = (Method)bd.writableProps.get(field); if(setMethod != null) {
setMethod.invoke(instance, invokeArgs);
... }
The class is responsible of transforming Json notation to your Java Bean. Looking at code I realised that when no setter is present for field(or you mistyped field name in JSON) nothing happens. Nothing is set on the Bean obviously and no exception is thrown! Is some situation it makes sence. Silently dropping of absent fields is nice feature when you write backward compatible code or similar. But in most cases you want to rise an exception when field name does not match to Java bean fields. So I suggest to modify this code like following:
Java technologies popularity in SydneyAugust 13, 2006
Here is just some numbers from jobserve.com.au. All keywords were prefixed with Sydney AND Java AND statement. The search for Sydney AND Java only gives 500 matching jobs.
- WebSphere – 56
- WebLogic – 47

- JBoss – 32
- Sun -21
- JRun – 3
- GlassFish – 0
- Geronimo – 0
Generic DAO and moreAugust 9, 2006
Since Java 5 introduced new generics feature many aspects of our Java coding has changed. DRY approach to many tiers in J2EE soared and become common place. Even such a conservative monsters as IBM come up with nice generic-based patterns. Have a look at this really good article Dont repeat the DAO. They did not invent something new but rather summarised bit and pieces in pretty well done generic DAO. However if you have simple web-based CRUD project you can go even further and generify your managers. Most of the time managers do exactly the same job providing additional wrapper around DAO. So it is the same CRUD as we had in DAO but DataBase -agnostic. So lets have a look at our DAO:
Job interview question 1August 7, 2006
Q: Write equation function for class
public class Customer {
private int id;
private String name;
private float balance;
A1: What for? It is already implemented in Object class.
A2: Why me? My favourite IDE generates such staff for me.
A3: You think for a while and write classical equation code with null-checking, casting and equation of values of all fields.
A4: Easy job. Just put inside
return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, other);
A5: Look mait! It seems to be a Business object! And field "id" looks like primary key for me! So it should be something like:
public boolean equals(Object other) {
return false;
if (other==null)
return false;
if( !(other.getClass().equals(this.getClass())))
return false;
return id.equals((Customer)other.id);
Java: most wantedJuly 27, 2006
-I know Java.
-Wonderful! It is exactly what we need! When you can start?
Funny job interview? It was like that in nineties but not anymore. Now Java is so broad that two experienced Java programmers that develop similar(from user's point of view) applications may not know any of tools, frameworks, IDEs, AppServers that other is using. Sometimes bunch of technologies is chosen based on company's budget, sometimes it depends on vendors support, sometimes it just because of historical reasons.
Whatever was the cause it is the fact that Java-flavour in Australia is significantly different to European. So my "Europe-tailored" skill set become slightly "out of fashion" and need some altering according to local preferences. That is why I decided to start new project that exploits all modern Australian java technologies, tools, etc. As an architect I have to sacrifice some good practices and even common sense as it would never allow me … let say use 1.4 -based things in the middle of 2006.
What am I building? It is n-tiered webapp that allows me to manage simple schedule and TODO list and receive voice remainders over the phone. I will add whatever I want to it as soon as I feel like it.
Let the show begin! I introduce java buzz-words in Australian IT market.
1. Oracle. Nobody cares about postgres, mysql, derby and other open-sourced rdbms.
2. Hibernate. No surprises here.
3. Spring. It is extremely popular all around the world.
4. Struts. Still alive. Bit outdated technology that is demanded 5 times more than Spring MVC or JSF.
5. AJAX. It is rarely used but people like this word. So do I.
6. SOA! WebServices, SOAP, BPEL and all other SOA-related terms.
7. WebSphere + WSAD(RAD). WebSphere beats WebLogic, JBoss, Tomcat, GlassFish altogether.
The first release will comprise whatever is ready scheduled to 1 September 2006. Will keep you informed how the project goes. By the way. The name is Ascon.
Java triviaJuly 18, 2006
We all know core java very well. But there is always something to be curious about. Or be surprised. Take a look
Object objectA = ObjectB.new ObjectC();
Something is wrong with that. Tell me what.

Highlights from Book talk by Mujeeb Jaihoon (author of The Cool Breeze from Hind) at Thanveer Islamic and Arts WAFY College (Kondotty- Kerala).
It is not only nature and its resources that needs to be conserved. Words, too, demand similar care and caution while we use them for our exchange of ideas, reminds Mujeeb Jaihoon
Words: Shapes & Shades
Words have different shapes and shades of meanings. Be it song, speech or recitation of Holy Book, these are all composed of words. They form the integral part of any communication exchange between humans.
LOCs and Creativity
Word is not so simple a thing. Especially under the new World Order. Besides, Social Media is the culmination of Words & Technology. Never before in history has words become so dirt-cheap, literally. Not one bashful barbwire to bar our blunderbuss blabber. In fact, those subtle LOCs illuminate the lanes of our creative highway. Without controls, our thoughtful kites are string-broken and lost to the winds of distraction. Creative energy will only boost when disciplined by a conductive ambiance.
Words and Meanings
It is important that the speaker utter words that are in the domain of understanding of the listener. Alternatively, the same applies for the latter to understand the same meaning intended by the former. The success of communication is based on this dual win. In addition, audible sounds qualify to be words only when they become meaningful.
Quran and Words
The Quran is the only Holy Book with a single edition since its Revelation. In spite, the Holy Book makes only a passing reference to some of the crucial matters of human existence. Brevity, thus, is an essential spirit of the Book of Allah. Man, hence, should also use words sparingly. Care and caution goes in the usage of words. The value of a word is invaluable. It is not only nature and its resources that needs to be conserved. Words, too, demand similar care and caution while we use them for our exchange of ideas.
Color of Words
Relationships often color the choice of our words. Respect, love and concern are only some of them. Words are like photos. Both should be framed to match the background.
Prophetic Speech: Big sense. Nano Size.
However, there are certain exceptional souls whose speech gain beauty and relevance across time and minds. The words of Prophet of Islam, again of incredible brevity, is an example. Brief in size but voluminous in sense, the speech of Amina's Beloved Son is a cosmic ocean of wisdom for the knowledge-thirsty sons and daughters of Adam and Eve. One shouldn't wonder, then, if the same speech equally inspires the scientist, entices the poet and illuminates the philosopher.
Every word has a Divine value and relevance. Thus, each deserve respect of their own.

During this presentation author, advocate and clinical therapist Ailey Jolie will explore how she transformed her past experiences of sexual exploitation into empowerment through the process of becoming embodied. This presentation will fuse together professional training in trauma integration and eating disorder recovery with lived experience. It will provide an opportunity for both clinicians and clients to compassionately understand the link between how external violations of the physical body can result in internalized violence against the self.
Jolie will speak about trauma, coping with food and body, abuse reenactment, and how she put her past to rest by altering the poison of her pain into potent peace. A process that was aided by understanding the neurophysiological implications of trauma and how such corresponds with eating disorder symptoms and recovery.
