Looking Up: 4 Technical DevOps Predictions for 2020
Very soon, we won't have to look to the heavens to predict our fortunes. By 2020, says a study by IDC, there will be as many bits in the world's accumulated data and binaries as there are stars in the universe. It will be these 44 zetabytes (44 trillion gigabytes), doubling every two years, that will direct our future.
No question about it, DevOps has won the race. By the end of 2017, a survey by Forrester Research revealed that 90 percent of responding organizations had either already implemented or had plans to implement DevOps.
As a result, the automation and repeatability of CI/CD has helped deliver agility and faster times to market in the process of building and deploying applications.
DevOps has helped accelerate the already furious pace of production of binaries and data. For emerging applications like smart electric vehicles and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, DevOps is central to software production and release strategies. According to Bain Capital, the combined markets of IoT alone will grow to $520b by 2021, more than double the amount that was spent in 2017.
These core trends, as every company is now a software company, fuel our journey to a world of Liquid Software, where the automation of continuous integration and continuous deployment gives way to true continuous updates.
So how will the stars — or better yet, the bits — align for future DevOps? Here are some of the things we're not just expecting to see, but in many cases seeing already:
Trend #1: DevOps AI
DevOps automation produces more builds, more frequently, and with them a lot of information. That's the perfect environment for AI and machine learning to play a growing role. The more data produced, the better these analytical technologies can detect patterns, make predictions and act on them to keep the CI/CD pipeline running smoothly.
Manual testing may someday become a thing of the past as AI takes over to predict how code will behave based on activity and repository logs. From this accumulation of information, AI will be able to produce automated functional, acceptance, and deployment testing, speeding software releases even as it helps assure reliability for continuous delivery.
The growing use of Infrastructure as Code means that operations managers have greater flexibility in allocating server environments and clusters, just by changing code descriptions. But people don't have to write that code; Al can analyze large bodies of log reports to make informed guesses about what will be needed, and generate that code through automated services.
Most significantly, AI can produce intelligence automation about your DevOps process itself from the volumes of logs and performance flow data. AI will help contribute continuous improvement to CI/CD pipelines, avoiding mistakes that break builds and even predicting faults. AI may someday even be used to improve the AI software itself.
Trend #2: 5G Drives IoT
With the far greater speeds of 5G internet, scheduled to come on the market in 2020, the biggest obstacle to large-scale connected devices will fall. In a recent white paper, Huawei Technologies projects that 5G with 10Gb/s speeds could support a 1,000x gain in capacity, with connections for at least 100 billion devices. In essence, this means the network and connectivity may become practically irrelevant.
That means that larger binaries supporting more complex operation can be delivered to the devices that make up the networks of connected cars, homes, and cities that will comprise the Internet of Things.
As greater network speed encourages more devices to come online, it will also encourage a greater frequency of updates, bringing us ever nearer to the Liquid Software ideal where IoT will thrive.
Trend #3: Low-code DevOps
Even as today's DevOps automation streamlines the process of CI/CD, it still requires developers to define most of the pipeline through job specifications, YAML files, or other intensive activities that are, in effect, coding by hand.
As the need for speed to create DevOps builds, we expect DevOps platforms to integrate low-code tools that help define pipelines through easier to use, point-and-click UI. The popular IFTT (If-This-Then-That ) platform for connecting apps and devices suggests one method, or graphical programming UIs like node graphs might fulfill the need.
With these tools a much wider range of technologists can contribute to the creation and maintenance of pipelines, policies, or Helm charts. Enterprises will benefit from lower costs of setup and training to build these vital parts of the DevOps process.
Trend #4: DataOps
The rise of data-driven computing and the democratization of analytics has spurred calls for an agile methodology to develop and deploy these data-intensive applications. The critical data that these solutions rely on can come from multiple data sources and data pipelines, so a process of managing them reliably is needed.
The emerging methods of DataOps draw directly from the key principles of DevOps — automation to help distributed teams support frequent and continuous integration and delivery. In the same way that DevOps helps developers, quality assurance, and operations to smoothly and securely collaborate, DataOps provides the same benefits to the joint efforts of developers, data scientists, data engineers, and operations.
Supporting DataOps requires some changes in the infrastructure and platforms, even as many of the core tools remain the same. To start, more languages and frameworks, such as the statistical language R, must be embraced by DataOps, and processes must enforce strict data access and governance policies.
As data becomes the chief driver of more applications, we can expect the range of data marketplaces to grow, including Data-as-a-Service.
All four of these these predicted trends suggest some exciting times are ahead in the DevOps universe. With JFrog's Liquid Software vision and industry-leading DevOps tools, we look forward to helping you meet your goals in 2019, 2020 and beyond.

"The Chairville has been a wonderful company to work with. When we first heard about their non-resin Chiavari chairs, we were anxious to see a sample and once we saw the sample, we knew that we wanted metal chairs instead of resin! Their sales team (Guadalupe specifically) even customized the color of our chair cushions to our exact specifications. Their high level of customer service and prompt communication back and forth about the status of our chair delivery has been top rated. I would gladly order additional products from Chairville in the future!"

Two specialists from TWI travelled to Singapore to provide bespoke training and advice to an established testing company.
Southeast Asian company Professional Testing Services (PTS) has been offering fracture toughness testing from its Singapore and Malaysia offices for about five years.
Assistant lab manager Ming Quan Zheng travelled to TWI in Cambridge, UK, to attend the Welding Diploma course earlier this year. Following the course he decided to invite TWI team manager and fracture specialist Philippa Moore to PTS Singapore to deliver a training course on fracture toughness testing and to help identify methods to improve the testing of very large specimens in very high strength steel.
Phillip Cossey from TWI's testing lab joined Philippa so that they could provide a full consultation on the theory and practical tips for doing the tests. In parallel with the teaching, a large test specimen was prepared using TWI's guidance for the local compression, which when broken open after testing, showed a successfully improved fatigue crack shape.
The TWI specialists were able to answer a large number of questions posed by the PTS staff over the course of the week, as well as making a number of recommendations to them and their director Mr Tee to help improve their testing services.
Ming and the PTS staff treated both Philippa and Phillip with great hospitality during their stay in Singapore.

When a kid reaches 5 years of age, they typically start their scholastic journey at kindergarten. That is why finding an outstanding school in Australia is essential at this time. Your child's first school year needs to be a positive and engaging experience. Therefore, whether you're preparing to send your kid to private or public child care has these days, it's crucial to carefully plan ahead.
Take a look at these tips on how to select the best kindergarten for your child:
Do your research diligently.
In today's digital age, nearly every organization has an online presence, making it easier for parents to assess each facility's strengths and weaknesses. A basic keyword search on the closest kindergartens Brisbane has near you will give you a lot of outcomes to check out over.
If their web pages are updated, make sure to read the parent's evaluations concerning the school and take note. You can then list down the several schools that have captured your interest.
Comprehend your kid's learning style
Each individual has a different learning method. Some learn much better through music or written words, while others can learn faster through pictures. That is why it's crucial for you to understand your child's learning style. After that, look for kindergartens Brisbane has nowadays that cater to children's various learning methods.
Ask for recommendations from fellow parents.
Although online evaluations are great sources of information about the school, nothing beats word of mouth recommendations from parents that you know. Therefore, you should take the time to ask parents around your neighbourhood for the best kindy and community kindergarten Brisbane schools that they can recommend. If you're fortunate, they might have connections to those good schools, which might assist you with your child's placement procedure. Check it out at Lady Gowrie
Think about the school's place
When searching for a school, you also need to consider its location and your travel time. You will either drive your child to school every day, have them carpool, or ride a bus. As much as possible, it's much better to select a community kindergarten near your house. Nevertheless, if the school that you prefer is far away, you need to determine if it's worth the additional travel time.
Check out the school and observe the classes
Before deciding to enrol their kids in a kindergarten, parents will typically speak with its teachers, counsellors, or/and principal. Therefore, you can arrange a consultation with the schools.
During the consultation, you can also ask for a short tour. Take note of their amenities, centres, and learning materials. Observe how they conduct classes and activities. Speak to the teachers and primary to learn about their teaching approach. Overall, checking out a school in person will assist you in making a notified choice.
Take note of the student-teacher ratio
Preferably, a kindergarten class should be simply the best size for the mentor to effectively teach and manage. When scouting for a pre kindy Brisbane has today, ask about their student-teacher ratio. The optimal ratio is around 18 students to 2 teachers, with no more than 23 trainees in a class. With this number, the teacher/s can give your kid adequate attention during classes.
Final notes
When choosing a great kindergarten school, careful planning and research is the secret. That's why you should start first with Lady Gowrie, a centre that specialises in early years education. Meticulous moms and dads in Queensland have been relying on their services for several years now. For more information, visit their website at: https://gowrieqld.com.au/

Meyer time trials to 7th place on the final stage of the Tour de Suisse, Haig finishes 13th on GCSun 17 Jun 2018
Track star Cameron Meyer produced a solid ride on today's final stage of the Tour de Suisse, to finish in seventh place in the lengthy 34kilometre individual time trial event.
The stage win went to Swiss rider Stefan Kung (BMC), who completed the distance 19seconds faster than his nearest rival and 37seconds ahead of Meyer.
Fast TT course
The quickest times continued to change as the riders tackled the fast 34kilometre route. With the GC still very close at the start of the stage, it was Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) who made the most significant changes, finishing the stage in the top ten to shake up the overall and jump up to second place.
Soren Andersen (Sunweb) set an early bench mark with a time 40minutes 03seconds but it was Kung who came out on top on the day.
Overall battle
In his first race as Mitchelton-SCOTT's general classification leader, Australian Jack Haig finished the nine-day tour in 13th overall, after riding consistently and spending a few days in fifth position, just slipping down to 13th on the final challenging mountain stage. An impressive feat for the 24-year-old having come into the race from the Giro d'Italia.
Richie Porte (BMC) secured the overall race win after strong performances throughout the week defending the yellow jersey.
Securing a stage win
The highlight of the race for Mitchelton-SCOTT was a solo stage win for Chris Juul-Jensen on stage four, after the team raced aggressively, jumping across to the breakaway groups on the two previous stages.
Cameron Meyer - 7th place
"I didn't expect to place as high as I did, so I am very happy with the result. Today was a fast course but tough in sections with a strong wind blowing.
"This is my first WorldTour Race in Europe this season after a long summer of track racing. I struggled on some of the days but all in all, the team had a successful Tour de Suisse.
"We got a stage win with Chris and Jack had a solid GC ride. I really enjoyed being back in Switzerland with the team and we all look forward to the second half of the season."
Tour de Suisse stage 9 results:
1. Stefan Kung (BMC) 39:44
2. Soren Andersen (Sunweb) +0:19
3. Tejay van Garderen (BMC) +0:23
7. Cameron Meyer (Mitchelton-SCOTT) +0:37
Final general classification:
1. Richie Porte (BMC) 29:28:05
2. Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) +1:02
3. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) 1:12
13. Jack Haig (Mitchelton-SCOTT) +3:29

God chooses and calls Abraham and promises to multiply his descendants.
(Genesis 17:5) "5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations."
(Romans 4:17) "17 (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;"
Abraham, chosen by God, had many children by different women.
(Genesis 25:1-6) Abraham and Keturah
"25 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6 But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east."
But the Scriptures do not reveal much information about other children of Abraham but only regards the first two.
From the beginning Abraham had two sons, one by Hagar, maidservant of his wife and one by his wife Sarah.
(1 Chronicles 1:27-28) "27 and Abram, who is Abraham. 28 The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael."
Ishmael, son of Abraham, was born according to the flesh.
"Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael."
(Genesis 16:1-15) Hagar and Ishmael
"16 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearingchildren. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her." And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai. 3 Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. 4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The Lord judge between you and me."
6 So Abram said to Sarai, "Indeed your maid is in your hand; do to her as you please." And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.
7 Now the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?"
She said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."
9 The Angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand." 10 Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude." 11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her:
"Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction. 12 He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?" 14 Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
15 So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael."
Isaac, son of Abraham, was born according to the promise of God.
"Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac;"
"And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac."
(Genesis 17:15-19) "15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her."
17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"18 And Abraham said to God, "Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!"
19 Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him."
(Genesis 18:9-14) "9 Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?"
So he said, "Here, in the tent."
10 And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son."
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
13 And the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?' 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.""
(Genesis 21:1-7) Isaac Is Born
"21 And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac. 4 Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me."7 She also said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.""
(Genesis 24:36) "36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has."
(Romans 9:9) "9 For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.""
(Hebrews 11:11) "11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised."
Hagar the slave was cast out with his son Ishmael from Abraham's house. Why were they cast out?
(Genesis 21:9-13) "9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac."11 And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called. 13 Yet I will also make a nation of the son of the bondwoman, because he is your seed.""
(Galatians 4:29-30) "29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.""
What does this all mean?
(John 8:35) "35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever."
The apostle Paul reveals that the first two children that Abraham had, Ishmael and Isaac are two symbols of two lineages:
son Ishmael represents the earthly descendants, while Isaac represents the spiritual.
Ishmael, the first, was born of flesh, by the natural desire of Abraham to have a child with his wife's slave Hagar, while Isaac was born of the wife, Sarah, of the promise that God had made to Abraham.
(Galatians 4:21-28) Two Covenants
"21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:
"Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband."
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise."
We see that God tells Abraham that the true descendants are through Isaac.
(Genesis 21:12) "12 But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called."
(Hebrews 11:17-18) "17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,""
(Romans 9:7) "7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called.""
God's promise to Jacob:
(Genesis 35:10-11) "10 And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body."
The true seed of Abraham.
"they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham;"
(Romans 9:6-8) "6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed."
(Romans 2:29) "29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God."
(John 1:12-13) "12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

Sens. Propose VNR ID Bill
Senate Commerce Committee chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), with the support of ranking member/co-chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), has committed to holding a hearing and markup on a video-news-release bill that is expected to be introduced by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.).
The bill requires that "VNR's produced, distributed or otherwise paid for by the federal government clearly identify the federal government as the source of such material."
The legislation, which would require the disclaimer to run continuously during the VNR, was introduced as an amendment to a "Junk Fax Prevention" bill being considered by the Commerce Committee, but was withdrawn when Stevens agreed to take it up separately as early as next week, according to a Kerry spokesman.
On Wednesday, the FCC reminded broadcasters that they must identify the source of any programming on political or controversial topics or face fines, prison, or both. The bill would parallel that effort by also putting the onus on government agencies to disclose or run afoul of "covert propaganda" prohibitions.
The committee vote on the Kerry-Lautenberg bill will be scheduled for the next committee markup session after the May recess, but could come earlier if Kerry and Lautenberg request it, said a Stevens spokesman.
VNRs are essentially prepackaged news stories produced so that TV news programmers can air them without any additional editing. Sometimes actors have been employed to portray reporters. Producers of the releases often suggest scripts that news anchors can use a lead-ins.
Most stations use only B-roll video, rather than the packages, but following revelations in January 2004 that the Department of Health and Human Services prepared prepackaged programming segments on controversial White House Medicare policies, critics of the Bush Administration have demanded that the use of VNRs by federal agencies be eliminated.
A Government Accountability Office study in May of last year declared the Medicare VNR to be illegal "covert propaganda," a characterization the White House disputes, citing a Justice Department opinion contradicting GAO.
The bill would attempt to resolve that turf fight.--Bill McConnell contributed to this story

Books for Basoga
Books for Basoga exists for one reason: to empower children through literacy. Reading this website illustrates our point. Without literacy, we cannot operate a computer or understand a lunch menu.
Books for Basoga began with a small box of books in the Source Library in Jinja, Uganda. Candice Garner had come to Jinja looking for ways of integrating the resources of Americans and Ugandans. With no other lending library in the area, a dream was born.
Candice began to contact learning centers in the U.S. about donating books for the library. Soon U.S. classrooms and churches were collecting books to send to their new friends in Africa.

I do love shopping on Oxford Street, in Westfield village, or even online; but there is nothing more exciting than a vintage or charity shop.
As a Millennial, it is inevitable that you will have the same (or similar) garment as someone you know, due to the overexposure of trends nowadays; therefore, acquiring some key vintage pieces can just take the edge of that 'conventional and overworked' style.
In second hand stores, every garment is individual from the previous; there is no mass production found! This does mean the chances of you finding the perfect size, or fit, is v. slim; but that's the fun of it. There is little, to no, predictability within at these stores, unlike some mainstream fashion retailers. In my opinion, I have also found that vintage clothing is better quality; it is often donated, and has originated from well established brands like Levi, Ralph Lauren or even Adidas.
Ok… the smell in some stores sometimes isn't fabulous; but for me, this just adds to the experience.
Don't get me wrong, I mainly purchase from the high street, but having a few key pieces that have been passed down, or discovered in a second-hand store has jazzed up my wardrobe for years.
The only two jackets I need:
I have two jackets in my wardrobe that I genuinely have not taken off this season. I should mix it up and introduce the rest of my jacket collection… however I didn't/ don't want to!
It is important to have those staple pieces that can be transferrable throughout several looks; I may have just taken that idea to the extreme with these two.
The first is a leather jacket I hijacked from my mother. An 80's vintage jacket: it even still smells vintage. The fit is oversized yet cropped to the waist, giving a proper motorbike feel to the look. I feel like Sandy from Grease when I wear it… if only I looked as good as her. The heavy leather material has worn down beautifully and is by far my most comfortable jacket.
Secondly, I purchased a Levi denim jacket from a vintage store in Brick Lane about 5 years ago. It is still in perfect quality (apart from a few food stains) due to the wonderful manufacturing and fabric that Levi provide. The perfect denim shade complements so many pieces in my wardrobe.
Get yourself down to a vintage store for some diamond finds!

A wild Plum's flower said to a Phlomis, (little tale about why and how this blog was born)
One day a phlomis asked a to a wild Plum's flower:
"What is the meaning of my life, if I am not a rose, if I am not beautiful as a rose, if I don't smell as a rose, if I have not the colour red of a rose … what is a meaning, the inner sense, of a phlomis ?"
And the flower of Plum answered:
"Everything has a sense or it's good for something, at least to make it feel happy for itself"
again the phlomis asked:
" But at last, what flowers need to bloom ?
Maybe, they simply flourish. "
And the Plum replied:
"They need time. Just time. "
Phlomis added:
" yes time, but also sun light, a little rain and eyes that admire them.
And of course soil, rocks, sand and a strong root.
Seneca says: the flower blooms if the root believes in the sun. "
The Plum said nothing more, as usual, this wild flower says few, precise, well-reasoned words …
Then one day the Plum and the Phlomis discussed about blossom's question.
Phlomis felt very bad, she was a little desperate and she thought of going away, but she could not forget the plum, so she decided to wait : it was winter …. maybe the theory of plum could be right, it was only a matter of time … it would be worth while waiting …
From her window she watched the phlomis planted in the garden last spring, it had grown slowly but it was still alive and Phlomis wondered if she would see it in bloom at last.
In the meanwhile Phlomis decided to plant other flowers, tending the garden, and she changed petals and berries into words to tell soul travels and emotions …
and so this blog was born from a modest flower …
my advice to those who want to start a blog is
have patience, love and care and a few flowers are coming, they could be a plum's flower or a phlomis one or a rose…, let them blossom…
what do you think: what flowers need to bloom?

20 things I love to put on toast
It's true that avocado toast may be perfection, but variety is the spice of life.
Having grown up in southern California, we were eating avocado toast long before it became Avocado Toast – and even though I have been eating it for most of my life, I never get tired of it. That said, toast is really one of the world's gifts to living, so why stop with avocado?
Toast is a blank canvas begging for adornment with delicious things. Topped toast delivers the comfort of a sandwich, with half the bread; the delight of crostini but more substantial; the variety of tea sandwiches but with an edge.I started thinking about all the toasts I have made and loved, and really there are just endless combinations – much of it predicated by what's in season or what needs to be used up before going south, as they say. Following are just some of my go-to toast toppers. (Can you tell that my family and I really like toast?)
AvocadoBecause plain avocado toast is my toast true love. We get a beautiful whole grain sourdough rye that plays perfectly with the nutty, creamy avocado. Topped with flake sea salt and black pepper. Simple and perfect.
Avocado, blood orange, slivered fresh jalapenoThere are a million things to put on top of avocado toast – after fresh summer tomatoes, this combination is my favorite. Creamy, sweet, bright, and spicy.
Tomatoes, olive oil, sea saltWhen gorgeous local tomatoes are at their peak, there are few things better than slapping slices on toast; if there is a nice fruit olive oil, sea salt and even a basil leaf or two, all the better.
Hummus, sliced beets, mintBecause hummus and toast are already a match made in heaven; adding sweet earthy beets is just extra pretty and delicious. Fresh mint makes it all sublime.
Mashed white beans, olive oil, thymeI often have beans leftover after dinner; mashing them onto toast the next day makes for a hearty, tasty lunch.
Goat cheese, roasted grapesBecause once I started roasting whole grapes, I had to start putting them on everything. (See 8 fruits and vegetables you should be roasting whole for more.)
Peanut butter, banana, candied nutsI often caramelize nuts with maple syrup and cayenne pepper to use in salads and some desserts, so why not on toast with peanut butter and banana?
Anchovy (or miso) butter, roasted peppers, fresh oreganoFor the omnivores and pescatarians, mash an anchovy with softened butter; for the vegetarians and vegans, mash miso paste with your go-to buttery spread. Cover toast with it, top with roasted peppers and thyme. This is a combination that brings me to happy tears every time.
Cream cheese, cucumber, dillA classic combination, especially great with cucumbers piles high and a huge mess of dill.
Ricotta, figs, honeyThis one is for fig fans – and everyone is a fig fan, right? The mix of cool creamy ricotta and plump juicy figs with a hint of honey makes for a wonderful, desserty breakfast.
Pureed green peas, sea salt, mintI love making green pea and mint pesto; it's very simple but so substantial and super bright in flavor. This is kind of a take on that, just on toast. Kelly has made a similar dish; recipe here: Pea pesto crostini.
Butter, sliced radishesButter and radishes love each other – plopped on toast gives the pair an added dimension.
Labneh, persimmon, pomegranateThe gorgeous Middle Eastern yogurt cheese known as labneh is one of my favorite toast toppers. It is so simple to make: Strain greek yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl, in the fridge, for 12 to 24 hours. I confess I have never had it with persimmon and pomegranate seeds, but the photo above has inspired me to make the combination soon, and I am sure that I will love it.
Labneh, sliced pear, nutsThat said, I have put labneh on toast with sliced pears and slivered almonds – and I know that I love it.
Mashed chickpeas, celery, lemonWe make a faux tuna salad at home (we annoyingly call it tuno salad), the recipe for which you can see here: 20 things to do with chickpeas. It is great on toast, but you can also just mash chickpeas and top with celery and lemon (juice and/or zest) for a refreshing alternative to the classic tuna.
Ricotta, grilled or broiled plumsPlums are basically already perfect, but giving them a little heat and char brings them to another level. And then pairing them with ricotta, and then putting it on toast – it's like, stratosphere stuff.
Mashed tofu with curry powder, sliced apple, raisinsThis is a take on curried egg salad and perfect for the salty-spicy-sweet people. (Writer raises hand.)
Mascarpone, roasted winter squash, pumpkin seedsIf you should be so lucky as to have leftover roasted butternut squash (or any of its cousins), and say, some leftover mascarpone cheese, and maybe some pumpkin seeds on hand ... you can make pumpkin pie-ish toast and it will make you happy.
Butter, picklesIs that weird? I don't know; but I am an unabashed pickle freak and together with butter on toasted bread is one of life's strange pleasures. Should I be admitting this publicly?
The kitchen sinkThis is just a prompt and a reference to all the times I have piled random things on toast. The formula goes like this: A nice piece of toast, a base of something smooth and/or smashed, a layer of something that offer contrast, a piquant or fragrant garnish. Olive oil and flake sea salt almost never hurt for savory toasts; a little drizzle of honey or maple syrup brighten up sweeter combinations.
So there you have it, go forth and toast! Be adventurous, have fun ... and if all else fails, grab an avocado.

Burna Boy, 2Baba & D'Banj Join Larry Gaaga On New Song, 'Baba Nla'
Larry Gaaga's efforts to shift from behind the scenes to the forefront has seen him pulling major moves all year. So far, he's featured Davido on the incredible "Doe" and Wande Coal on "Sho Ja", and now he's pulled together industry titans, Burna Boy, 2Baba and D'Banj on his new song, "Baba Nla".
All of these artists are hot right now, so it makes sense that they were the port of call for a summer hit. We're still not entirely sure what this new trend of people featuring musicians on a song when they don't sing, rap or produce, however, we won't complain about this jam.
"Baba Nla" is a chilled and authoritative song, which keeps in theme of its title. Burna Boy does all the heavy lifting on the song, stealing the show as expected, and 2Baba comes in as a close second, with a moving and engaging verse.
"Baba Nla" arrests you within a few seconds as you immediately recognise D'Banj's harmonica, which adds a nostalgic feel to the song. It certainly has all the trappings of a hit song, so we'll give it some time to see if it ends up making the rounds.

Purpose of this paper:
This is the June 2014 update to an on-going research project benchmarking the various global credentials in project management and project controls against the US professional Engineer (PE) license as well as Malcolm Gladwell's "10,000 hour" rule.
This paper is being presented to try to bring sense to the burgeoning proliferation of "professional credentials" which many are to be candid, little more than scams.
"Best Owner Practices for Project Control" by John K. Hollmann, PE CCE
For the past several decades, owner companies have been reorganizing, reengineering, downsizing, and, at times, eliminating their in-house cost engineering function in a drive to improve cost competitiveness by reducing what company management perceives as "overhead."

These as a rule accompany a top on the circumstances you can visit the dental specialist over a specific time frame.
Dental designs are diverse by they way they work, which is the thing that sets them so far separated from dental protection. They both have a similar concentration, to give you the dental treatment you require and merit. Dentalplans require you pay a little month to month sum, which is extremely reasonable and consequently you can visit any dental practitioner on the support rundown to appreciate incredible funds. Truth be told, you can spare at least 50{248daa4f5af6938874256ac25bbc1cf2f0af434823d9e3d0f2afe8216e236b1c} on your next routine dental registration.
There are a large number of taking an interest dental experts with a portion of the dental organizations offering more than thirty or forty thousand in the nation. You are guaranteed to discover a dental practitioner in your neighborhood you can make your arrangement and utilize your marked down investment funds immediately. This will guarantee you and your family get the dentalcare you have to diminish tooth depressions and rot.
Further, there are no limitations. Frequently with dental protection there are confinements.

14 Sailors from USS Ronald Reagan Accused of Using LSD
Over a dozen sailors from the USS Ronald Reagan's nuclear reactor department face military discipline for using or dealing the hallucinogenic drug LSD, according to the Navy. 7th Fleet says that the accused still performed their work well enough that it passed muster in a retroactive inspection.
Two enlisted personnel, Machinist's Mate Nuclear 2nd Class Andrew Miller and Electrician's Mate Nuclear 2nd Class Sean Gevero, will be court-martialed on charges of possession and distribution of LSD. Gevero has also been charged with possessing another controlled substance, the steroid nandrolone decanoate. Ten of their crewmates from the department received administrative discipline for unspecified charges related to LSD. Three more sailors - including two from the reactor department - could potentially face court martial but have not yet been charged.
All of the accused were removed from their posts pending the outcome of an investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), which is now complete. A parallel Japanese investigation into whether the drug-dealing activity included any local residents at the carrier's home port, Yokosuka, concluded in June.
7th Fleet says that the USS Reagan's safety was never at risk. "Propulsion plant operations and maintenance are supervised by senior personnel," said spokesman Lt. Joe Keiley in a statement to Navy Times. "Due to the defence in depth of the design and operation of the propulsion plants, the reactors aboard remain safe."
The Wall Street Journal first broke the news of a suspected drug ring aboard the USS Reagan in February.
Japan-based 7th Fleet has endured a series of scandals and accidents over the course of the past several years, including the Navy's largest-ever corruption case, the Glenn Defense Marine Asia affair; two collisions with merchant vessels, which killed 17 sailors and took two destroyers out of service; and revelations about overworked, undertrained crews.

You may want to replace the furniture in your home or office, or you simply want to get new furniture. To find the perfect furniture available, you have to make some inquiries. There are magnificent furniture items accessible, for example, Suar wood furniture Singapore. There are also different kinds of furniture made from various sorts of woods; therefore, you will have many alternatives to pick from depending on your taste. Some are made out of Sono wood, others are carved from Acacia wood, and you may as well find furniture made out of Teak wood and much more. The accompanying write-up will feature the right ways to find good suar furniture.
To start with, the most straightforward way of getting information on good pieces of furniture is by conversing with those who are around you; it can be your family, friends or colleagues. Ask them if they know of any store that deals in some of the best suar wood furniture Singapore and if they, do they will recommend them to you. Subsequently, you can go to the web and search for suar wood furniture Singapore. The internet will offer you plenty of options hence take a look at some those sites.

Make sure that you compare their costs so that you choose the most affordable organization. While on those websites, make a point of contacting their sales reps and ask them anything you want to be clarified. Ask them how long it will take for the goods to be delivered, get to know if they charge a delivery fee, ask whether they accept returns when there is a problem with the furniture bought and so on.
Finally, ensure that you buy your furniture from a company that has insurance. While engaging with the sales attendants of those websites, get to know if they offer insurance for products purchased.

Find out their point of view on the furniture that you are interested and the company as well. Remember the above factors when you decide to shop for suar furniture.

Susan Doctor on Intervention for FAS
FEN Conference April 1, 2000 Madison, Wisconsin
(Notes by Teresa Kellerman)
Video of mother: "I saw the posters that say alcohol can cause mental retardation, but I thought 'not my baby.' But it is like playing Russian Roulette, because you never know what, when, where the alcohol will hurt the baby."
Susan Doctor: Last night on the women's cable channel, I watched an interview with Rickie Lake, who said, "When I was pregnant, I was very careful to only drink one glass of wine a day." The worst part of this is that she was speaking to such a wide audience of young women, who could follow her example.
I work with junior high kids and with the people around them. My mentor is Sterling Clarren. I met him 10 years ago and asked him to be my mentor, he is on my doctorate committee, and I'm lucky to have fallen into that group of people, because I wanted to learn about FAS and there is no place to learn about FAS. As you know there is a huge difference between sitting in a classroom and being right there in the middle of it, like drug court. Instead of saying a person has a diagnosis, I say that person exposed to alcohol/drugs in utero and has the learning/behavioral profile consistent with that exposure. The kids say that it is so amazing to see the results when intervention is appropriate. What Sterling has taught me is that a person with FAS/FAE, depending on the severity of impairment, will ALWAYS need an external brain. Key words are "always" and "external." Intervention means us. If intervention is not working, then we need to change what we are doing because it means the external support is not appropriate. (It is better if we don't use the term FAE because there is a continuum of effects as seen in the IOM''s 5 categories.)
One time I did the red-eye special, and couldn't get out of bed to walk, as I had 4 degenerative disks in my back that flared up from sitting on the plane so long. I needed extensive therapy and exercises that I need to do each morning and evening. What I am doing is strengthening the muscles around my spine. There is nothing that can be done about the disks, but I am strengthening the supports around the disks. Get it? But you might not want to use metaphors to make a point, because some of them won't get it. One of my clients said, "Well, that was a nice story, but what did you tell me for?" Don't use metaphors to teach them. One young lady said "Why don't you just tell me what you want me to understand." If I stop doing those exercises, I'm going to be back in excruciating pain. If we stop providing the supports to the person with FAS/FAE, what happens? They fall over. If you get something in place for your child at age 5, don't expect that support to work when they are older, it will need to be changed. As they get older, the range of abilities gets wider, and they need more supports. The older they get, the fewer the services. Two limiting factors are time (program might be set up to last a certain amount of time) and money. When the supports weaken, the person falls over.
We need to believe them. You know how when we ask them why they did something, they say "I don't know"? Believe them, they don't know. Of course, sometimes they will try to manipulate you, because they are people just like us. Don't set them up. We don't have to make them like us. We need to support them and adapt their environment to help them. They don't need to learn to tie their shoes (insisting that they come into our world), they need us to give them Velcro shoes (we meet them where they are).
The first adult I helped taught me more than any book I have read. She's been with me for 4 years. Every time she attains success, she gets money, then she gets drunk, gets arrested and is back in the system. If this happens over and over, the court has to realize that it is not working. Something needs to change. The key is education. We have to educate people so they understand that the traditional methods of intervention just don't work.
Difficulty Translating Information From One Sense Into Appropriate Behavior (gaps in links)*
Difficulty linking what is heard with appropriate behavior
Able to "talk the talk, but not walk the walk"
Inconsistent mastery
Spotty memory
When you give them crucial information, ask them to repeat it back to you in different words. When we want them to remember a rule, we repeat it to them over and over, but it is usually worded in a negative "don't" and what is repeated and remembered is what we don't want them to do. Just because the child remembered the math yesterday doesn't mean they can remember it today. We must help people understand this about our loved ones, otherwise the world will become very judgmental.
When you first heard this information, you thought, "Of course! Mom drank, and this is what is going on with this child!" The lights go on. Without this awareness, we tend to be very punitive with the child.
Difficulty Generalizing Information (gaps in association)*
Learning information in isolated pieces
Inflexibility of thought
Difficulty predicting outcomes
If you can't sequence, you can't do cause and effect. We need to look at the difference between "can't" and "won't." As Jan Lutke says, it's not a matter of non-compliance, it's about non-competence. ("Spider-web Walking" is how she describes how her daughter thinks.)
If we change the rules and change the rules, and they can't keep up with it, they get punished. We need to listen to what we say. We talk with lots of holes in our speech, and we expect others to fill in the blanks, but our kids can't do that. Example: Hot lunch tickets - purchased by mom. Child has the ticket for lunch. Teacher says, "Everyone getting hot lunch in this line, everyone getting cold lunch in this line." He waited for teacher to call the kids with lunch tickets, so he went out to play on the playground. After lunch period, time for meds, the child is on several different meds, on empty stomach, he got really sick. Another example: Girl with FAS on birth control. The doctor assumed that she knew to take it orally. I want you to know that birth control pills taken as suppositories are not effective. Our judge in family court just about had a heart attack when he found out that one of our clients followed his directions exactly. He had told her in court, "you must not drive your car," so what did she do? She went out and she borrowed a car. These experiences are specific to "inflexibility of thought" (above).
FAS is an umbrella diagnosis. All the other diagnoses fall under the FAS umbrella. We need to look at any behavior issues or mental health issues through the eyes of FAS, which is the main disability on which we need to focus. The reason why looking at FAS as the umbrella is best is because, if we do that, we will remember that there are information processing deficits that must be taken into consideration when treating the person with FAS. So, if I am treating "johnny's" manic depression, I will need to do so remembering that he processes differently.
Concentric circles of Intervention Strategies:
Center: Individual interventions applying to specific individuals with FAS: Assessment. It helps to spend a little time with them.
Next step out: Systemic case management (wrap-around services): Should be facilitated by the person who spends most time with the individual, like the teacher or parent. Has to be systemic, not just within the agency, but need to pull in representatives of every agency that works with the individual (foster care, birth mom, probation officer, therapist, county, school) At least once a year, quarterly is best. It's a good opportunity to educate people who don't understand. It's an opportunity to talk with each other to get everyone on the same page. Saves time and trouble later, even though it seems inconvenient for some at the time. Valuable information is shared, like changes in meds or other crucial circumstances that need to be communicated to all. Most people are trying to help, they just need the information so they don't become judgmental. You definitely need input from the person, but let them decide how much they want to be involved. They might get tired of hearing "FAS" or might feel intimidated having to meet with all the professionals. Maybe they just want to meet for a few minutes, say what they want everyone to hear, then leave. Or they can meet with someone they trust to share with that person, who can speak on their behalf at the meeting. They don't have to attend unless they really want to.
Outside: Policy Issues. The farther away from the individual, the greater the impact on the individual if it doesn't work. If the policy provides for services up to a dollar amount and the money runs out, no more services. The policy issues can be as damaging as if the individual were not getting the personal support. What makes all this work is the support person. The needs don't change, but the services do. Don't ever say "We can't possibly do that." Say "Now how can we do that?"
Susan's Intervention Theory: Ask:
What is currently available?
What is needed?
How can what is needed be provided?
Organization (and I'm not talking about filing cabinets, I'm talking about getting clothes ready to put on, in order so that the last thing laid out is the first thing to put on) (Open shelves with labels, so they can SEE where things are)
Stimulus Reduction (consistent across environments: what does the home look like? Too much chaos at home?)
Transitions (plan ahead, make a smooth path)
Academic Placement (looking forward to careers and jobs)
IT TAKES A VILLAGE (obviously this is not an original) When you look at FAS as a community problem, you no longer can just look at the mom, responsibility belongs with the entire community.

Ways to Leverage the Benefits of Digital Workspaces
Increasing dependence on technology in day-to-day life has prompted governments to reevaluate their workflow processes.
Increasing dependence on technology in day-to-day life has prompted governments to reevaluate their workflow processes.
How can agencies take advantage of technologies like the cloud and securely manage data while also considering the needs of remote workers?
Across vast geographies and with the scope of millions of people, DoD needs to individually serve each warfighter.
With a secure digital workspace, agencies can make their applications and data available to any employee on any device in any location.
Craig Orgeron, Mississippi CIO and former NASCIO President, spoke with GovLoop on Jan. 24 about his top priorities, cybersecurity, hiring, CX and other state IT initiatives.
Your website is your chance to make that first impression. How your customers view its design, navigation and content could be the difference between attracting new residents and businesses, or losing them to another agency.
For those of us who have worked in technology for a long time, we expect to see new buzzwords and phrases based on technology changes. Digital government is the latest catchphrase, but do we really understand what it means?
Cloud adoption helps state and local governments deliver stable, protected access to their networks from any mobile device.

Boston Terriers are an adorable little breed loved by many. The experienced Boston Terrier owner is aware of the process called "inspiratory paroxysmal respiration" – or, in layman's terms, reverse sneezing. However, when a first time Boston Terrier owner first sees this process, they may panic. The process of the reverse sneeze is not a pleasant one to watch; it can easily look like the dog is in pain or suffering, but there is no actual harm being done.
If you are owning or purchasing a Boston Terrier for the first time and are curious about reverse sneezes, you have probably at least heard of the behavior, if not witnessed it in another dog. While it can be quite scary to witness, it really is a harmless process of the dog's body trying to rid itself of toxins or debris, much like a normal sneeze. Bouts of reverse sneezing typically last anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes. The dog will stick out his head, extending his neck as much as possible, and breathe in and out rapidly and loudly. It sort of seems like the dog is hyperventilating, but that is not what's happening. Veterinarians have not determined what actually initiates a reverse sneeze, but it is assumed that the dog's body is trying to cleanse itself of some foreign matter.
Boston Terriers, like other small-muzzled breeds, are Brachycephalic. These means that they do not have a very long nose and tend to have a lengthier palate than other breeds. Some veterinarians believe being Brachycephalic is linked to inspiratory paroxysmal respiration, even though it does affect some dogs or breeds of dog who are not Brachycephalic. There is no surefire way to cure or end a bout of reverse sneezing, but trying to calm your dog down with a soft voice and stroking his or her throat can help curtail it sooner. Gently stroking your terrier's throat in a downward motion can help to initiate swallowing, which is likely to end the reverse sneezing process.
While the actual act of a reverse sneeze is harmless to the dog, if reverse sneezing is becoming unusually frequent, it can be an indication of other problems, such as a respiratory irritant or infection, tooth or gum infections, an irritated throat, or even allergies. If your Boston Terrier is have excessive bouts of reverse sneezing, there is a good chance he or she has developed allergies. Your veterinarian can prescribe anti-inflammatory or antihistamine medication that can counteract the allergy and will thus result in less reverse sneezing attacks. In some severe cases, in which the dog is having bouts of reverse sneezing several times daily, you should take him or her to the veterinarian immediately. Reverse sneezing of this frequency can indicate a far more serious problem, such as tumors in the breathing passages or respiratory system, or a collapsing trachea.
Excessive reverse sneezing, as with any strange behavior from your dog, can be indicative of a greater problem, but almost every Brachycephalic dog will undergo several reverse sneezing attacks in his or her lifetime and it is not anything to be too concerned over. The best defense in determining whether your Boston Terrier is suffering from a regular attack or if his or her body is trying to tell you something's wrong is to be very aware of what your dog is like healthy. Measure the frequency with which these reverse sneezing attacks happen and pay attention to any other possibly signs of illness, such as a change in appetite, activity level, or sleeping patterns.
