2 2 IFS CLOUD ON MICROSOFT AZURE IFS CLOUD ON MICROSOFT AZURE 3 MAKE YOUR MOVE POISED FOR ANY OPPORTUNITY CLOUD AS YOU WANT IT It s a busy and fast-moving world. Markets expand and contract, competitors dwindle or thrive, economies fluctuate and technology moves ever onward. A basic analysis can tell you where you are. It can help you get a feel for things in the midst of change. It can help you survive. But you can do more than survive. You can thrive. 47% of organizations will move their ERP to the cloud in the next 5 years according to Gartner 1. The benefit, according to an Aberdeen Group survey 2, is that over two years, organizations running enterprise software in the cloud reported two times greater profitability and savings, and three times faster decision times than companies stuck on the ground. Equipped with knowledge and the right tools, you can see opportunities and have the speed, flexibility and agility to take advantage of them. Deploying IFS products on the Microsoft Azure cloud gives you that power. It brings together a recognized leader in enterprise software with an outstanding cloud-based platform for providing Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or a fully managed cloud. It s a powerful combination. Take advantage of it, and you ll gain the insight. You ll spot the opportunity. You ll be ready to pounce. IFS s cloud solutions are available in the following service models: You Manage IFS Cloud IaaS on Microsoft Azure IFS Managed Cloud on Microsoft Azure You Manage You Manage IFS Cloud IaaS on Microsoft Azure is a single-tenant IaaS option that enables customers to deploy IFS products on virtual servers in Microsoft Azure, rather than in their own data center. This option is great for customers who want to retain control over the application layer themselves, or who have an existing partner whom they wish to manage the IFS products for them. IFS Managed Cloud on Microsoft Azure is a full-service, managed singletenant offering where IFS manages the cloud infrastructure, operating system, database, middleware and IFS products. This provides customers with the confidence that the people who created the software are also the ones managing their environments, together with the scale and agility inherently built into a cloud solution delivered on Microsoft Azure. IFS Applications has been tested and optimized to work seamlessly on Microsoft Azure. When you choose IFS Managed Cloud on Microsoft Azure, you sign one contract and IFS delivers one seamlessly integrated service it is as simple as that. By having IFS manage your environment, your company can leverage IFS s expertise and the economics of the cloud without needing to retain costly skills and infrastructure. We do the maintenance for you. This way you can focus on delivering value using IFS s software rather than managing it. 1 Survey Analysis: Adoption of Cloud ERP, 2013 Through 2023 published on January 24, 2014, written by Nigel Rayner 2 Aberdeen Group., August 2014
3 4 IFS CLOUD ON MICROSOFT AZURE IFS CLOUD ON MICROSOFT AZURE 5 WE RE BETTER TOGETHER THE IFS MANAGED CLOUD IFS develops enterprise software that is as flexible as you need it to be. Enterprise software from IFS is based on a modern platform that supports leading commercial and open-source products. Our solutions are future-proof because they incorporate proven state-of-the-art technology built to industry standards, while serving as a platform for innovation that flexes with your changing business requirements. Microsoft Azure is a world-leading cloud platform that delivers the flexibility global enterprises demand. As many as 57% of Fortune 500 companies already use Microsoft Azure to exploit benefits such as reduced capital expenditure, easier maintenance and increased flexibility. Microsoft Azure is a 2014 leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant 1. So too is IFS for both its ERP 2 and ESM solutions 3. IFS Cloud on Microsoft Azure. Together, we provide the agility, flexibility and reliability your enterprise needs. When running a global business, there are many background processes in place to help you to manage your day-to-day business. Software installations need to be maintained, servers monitored and databases optimized. Many factors work together to power the IT infrastructure that your organization needs. At the same time, the market is demanding companies to be constantly up and running, and fully flexible, which can be a hard requirement to meet. You need to have the right IT competence and you need to avoid costly problems. But what if the right competence is a scarce resource? It might be difficult to find staff with the database and infrastructure skills you need. And even if you find them, what happens when they walk out the door to go home at night, for vacation or to pursue opportunities elsewhere? Even staff with the best intentions, fully committed to making your IT work, have times when they are unavailable, which can make running your own servers and maintaining your own installations a challenge. IFS Managed Cloud on Microsoft Azure allows you to bypass these potential obstacles by combining leading enterprise software with one of the world s most trusted cloud platforms. That way you will be working both with IFS products designed to be flexible and help you tackle any changes the market throws at you, as well as with Microsoft Azure s many technical advantages with 24x7x365 enterprise-level support. IFS Managed Cloud on Microsoft Azure provides you with the reassurance that IFS will set up and maintain your cloud infrastructure, database, and middleware so that it is fully optimized for IFS products. This lets you free up resources so that you can do what you do best run your business. 1 Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, Lydia Leong et al, May Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Single-Instance ERP for Product-Centric Midmarket Companies, Christian Hestermann et al., Nov 26, Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management, William McNeill et al., Dec 22, 2014

Dear Kay,
"The Runaway ____." Anything can be a children's book title if you use this recipe. The Runaway Pancake. The Runaway Pencil. The Runaway Roto-tiller.
Time for exactly one moment with this Laurel pullover.
Mary was asking what the shade is of this Berocco Ultra Alpaca. It's 6288, Blueberry. It is the Loch Ness Monster of yarns due to the impossibility of catching a true image of this shade.
This Laurel pattern rates a rugged three-skein difficulty from the Rowan magazine folks, and at first I didn't understand why. It's a boxy pullover, with not all that many cables wandering around. Cake!
More like a runny pudding. Now that I have managed to skulk to the end of the second sleeve, I get it, totally: the hard part is the fact that the cables shift one stitch at certain points, two stitches at others. Keeping this in my head is like trying to remember my kid's lacrosse practice schedule.
These cables look so beautifully irregular because they ARE. I ripped back so many single rows that I could have had a third sleeve by now.
The red arrow indicates where I was watching that gruesome episode of Girls and lost track of the cable to the point that it rerouted itself to the one beside it. I was so disgusted with the sweater, the show, everything that I just left it as The Runaway Cable.
But I'm done. It's going into the blocking parlor for a little spa treatment.
SO happy to have an alpaca/wool sweater ready for spring. Talk about March Madness.
PS A hearty "congratulations" to Elizabeth W., who "won" the drawing and is the "lucky" "winner" of the leftover yarns from my Alice Starmore Donegal project. Thank you to all the masochists who offered to adopt these yarns–you dodged a bullet!
PSS Loved all the comments about Girls. Such smart thinking–thanks for weighing in.

Unit 5 : Activity 5 : Basics of Moving Around in Space : Changing Orbits : Unit Exam
Unit 5: From Earth's Orbit to Mars
In the last unit, we saw how a spacecraft reaches Earth orbit and maintains that orbit by traveling extremely fast. Now we will look at what it takes to move beyond Earth orbit and travel into space. We'll also look at how a spacecraft maneuvers in space when there is little gravitational influence. Finally, we'll apply these concepts to different ways of getting to another planet: quickly versus inexpensively.

Unless you have experience dealing with insurance companies, you may feel you have no choice but to trust that they are looking out for your best interests. As much as they promise to be on your side and to keep you in good hands, they are still a business whose primary aim is making money. The worst time to learn this is after you have suffered injuries in an accident.
It is true that you pay your premiums (and hope other drivers pay their premiums too) so that you will have financial coverage if you are involved in an accident that results in injuries. However, you may be surprised to learn that insurance adjusters have tricky ways of catching you off guard so their company can reduce or deny your claim.
Protect your right to a fair settlement
An accident can leave you feeling confused and off your game. You are in pain, and you likely have many worries, including how to pay you medical bills and when you will be able to return to work. This is not the ideal time to be making important decisions, and accepting a settlement from an insurance adjuster is a very important step.
So soon after your accident, you and your medical team may only be beginning to realize the severity of your injuries, and accepting a premature settlement may leave you in dire straits if medical expenses continue to pile up. Nevertheless, you may expect an insurance adjuster to drop by to speak with you, perhaps before you are even discharged from the hospital. Here are some things to keep in mind if you get such a visit:
- The claims adjuster may be friendly, but he or she is not your friend. Adjusters may use sympathy, compassion and flattery so you will let down your guard and share personal information.
- You have no legal obligation to make a recorded statement or allow the adjuster to record your conversation. Doing so could provide the insurer with information to use against your claim.
- You should refuse to sign a blank form authorizing the insurer to access your medical records. Doing so could provide the insurer with information about previous injuries that could damage your claim.
- The insurance adjuster may bombard you with requests for additional documentation. This tactic is to wear you down so you will accept the settlement offer.
The adjuster may even have a check ready to hand you for an amount the insurance company feels is fair. Before accepting the check or signing an agreement, you will want to seek the advice of an experienced Pennsylvania attorney who will take over any communication with the insurer. This will improve your chances of getting a fair settlement and relieve you of the burden so you can concentrate on your recovery.

Aella Data, a leading innovator in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions,
officially exits stealth mode today with the launch of Starlight
Pervasive Breach Detection System (PBDS), the industry's first AI-driven
pervasively deployable solution. Founded by security industry veterans,
Aella Data's Starlight PBDS is the only system that can be deployed
pervasively across all network infrastructures. It unifies collected
data and conducts advanced analysis to deliver high-fidelity, actionable
alerts that reduce detection time from months to mere minutes, and alert
volume from thousands to the critical few. The company formally launches
at RSA Conference 2018 with a growing list of key customers and partners.
Aella Data's launch and its disruptive technology is timely in a world
gone awry with increasingly costly and far-reaching cyberattacks.
"Sophisticated hackers hide in blind spots and unleash damaging attacks
while companies work overtime to catch up, but fall short, due mainly to
reliance on traditional security solutions," said Richard Stiennon,
Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest and renowned IT security veteran
and analyst.
While the rise of big data and AI are helping companies detect
sophisticated attacks, current solutions are still failing to catch
breaches, even as their costs and complexity increase. With Starlight,
Aella Data introduces a new type of breach detection system that
addresses deployment and operational complexity and costs while
dramatically reducing detection time and effort. Starlight is built on a
patent-pending Distributed Security Intelligence architecture and uses
advanced machine learning to cut through the noise, providing
high-fidelity alerts that enable fast and effective action. Starlight is
easily integrated and highly complementary with existing perimeter
defense solutions, SIEMs, and other traditional cybersecurity solutions
making it easy for enterprises, Managed Security Services Providers
(MSSPs), and VARs to deliver a complete pervasive breach detection
solution. As evidence of its unique architecture and ability to scale in
all dimensions and deploy anywhere, Aella Data solutions are being used
today in a variety of environments and applications, including container
visibility, autonomous vehicle security, data centers supporting tens of
thousands of servers, and MSSPs supporting mid-sized enterprise
"Aella Data is a perfect breach detection platform for MSSPs due to its
multi-tenancy and sophisticated AI that reduces the number of alerts our
SOC has to deal with," said Douglas Mannella, Vice President of Business
Development at CyFlare, an Aella Data MSSP partner.
Data Breaches on the Rise, Limitations of Current Breach Detection
2017 was dubbed "The Year of the Data Breach" (source: Bloomberg)
and there is no indication that 2018 will be any different. Indeed, the
avalanche of cybersecurity breaches demonstrates that existing
approaches are still insufficient. These approaches either throw away
key data to keep systems manageable or require deployment of costly and
invasive monitoring systems. The results are high costs and/or a
continued overload of low-fidelity alerts that need to be investigated -
but are all too often ignored.
"Headline-grabbing, massive breaches like Equifax and Home Depot are due
not just to the rise of cybercriminals but also to the increasing
complexity of network and hybrid cloud environments. Legacy IDS,
firewalls, and network security solutions alone can no longer meet the
needs of the modern enterprise," said Changming Liu, CEO of Aella Data.
"We founded Aella Data to help companies address the entire
cybersecurity kill chain with a single technology that can be deployed
across all environments. By applying deep intelligence through advanced
AI with pervasive data, we detect sophisticated attacks other systems
With Starlight, organizations can massively scale security detection
across all network infrastructures-including containers, VMs, private
clouds, public clouds, hybrid clouds, and bare metal-with no blind
spots, performance problems, or exorbitant costs. Starlight
intelligently deploys multiple types of machine learning in a unique
approach called Multi-ML, with an integrated cascade of algorithms used
across the system for better detection speed, accuracy, and fewer false
Starlight's Key Features
Starlight establishes the new benchmark for breach detection solutions
through big data and AI. Some of its unique features include:
The People Behind Aella Data
Aella Data is founded and led by industry veterans from leading
companies including NetScreen, Juniper, Fortinet, Barracuda, Cisco,
Gigamon, Lastline, A10 Networks, and more. The leadership team includes:
Aella Data is backed by NetScreen Co-Founder Feng Deng and his venture
firm, Northern Light Venture Capital, as well as various security
industry veterans and angel investors in a significant seed round. The
company is scaling rapidly and expects to raise additional funding in

This rare musical instrument WAS consigned from The Albert Augustine Estate and is prominently listed in Makers of the Harpsichord and Clavichord 1440-1840 by Donald Boalch. Said reference source dates the instrument at 1779.
The instrument is signed Vicenzo Sodi, Florence. The inscription appears to read 1739 but is believed to be more accurately dated 1779. As such, it is among the last harpsichords made before the current revival began in the early part of the 20th century.
The Sodi Harpsichord is a single manual Italian harpsichord. It measures approximately 82 - 84" long. The width at the keyboard is about 33". The case is about 8 1/2" deep.
The cheek and spine are cut at an angle to the keyboard end. The case is not the customary inner/outer construction of Italian instruments, but rather a sturdy rim made of stock about 5/8" thick The case walls are in excellent condition.
The bottom is planking which runs the full length of the instrument. The lid is about 3/8" thick with a rim. The underside is plain. There is a double flap on the lid. All exterior surfaces of the cabinet are inlaid, in relatively good condition.
The stand has three gilded harpies which are connected with stretchers that look modern. There is a possibility that the harpies had nothing to do with the original instrument and may be modern.
The jack rail and the action (except the keyboard) are new. The slides may be original. The jacks are wood with adjustable end pins. Jack rail felt and dampers are in new condition. Plectra are leather.
The grain of the soundboard runs diagonally. An area of about one foot square at the treble has water stains. The board itself is flat, possibly new. The area under where the bridge had been glued is light colored.
The hitch pin rail appears sound except for a few inches at the extreme treble where it is split. It is a sign of weakness, but there is no advanced cheek disease. There is a hairline crack in the cheek/bent side corner but no indication of serious trouble.
Two large reinforcement blocks are placed flush with the top of the case. They are rough wood, totally out or keeping with the rest of the workmanship. One runs from the cheek/bent side corner to the spine and is a few inches wide. The other is several inches wide and runs at an angle through the middle of the bent side to the spine. They are held in place with brads nailed into the case, and the fit of the curve is approximate. They seem to have been added to reinforce the integrity of the case walls.
There is a label on the spine above the keyboard which reads "A. Olivetti & Co. Firenze/Italy 3014". This label seems perhaps to be an inventory label. The number is a stamped number, and the rest of the label is printed with set type.
The instrument had been previously restored to playing condition, probably around 1950 -- 1960. It is presumed the restorer had either an affiliation or an association with Zuckerman Harpsichords. One such restorer, Hugh Gough, is a likely candidate. This assessment is made on the basis of materials, techniques, and the quality of workmanship observed.
The stop levers were made of 1/4" square section brass. There are polished brass spheres about 1" diameter on each lever. They come through the name board, one on each side. The stop levers themselves are not polished.
The loops for the strings were wound with tails sticking out to one side, as opposed to the double helix loop.
There is no tension on the strings of the instrument. The tension may have been released, but the more likely reason is that the bridge is totally unglued from the soundboard. I failed to check for possible tension on the lowest few strings which go over the tail section of the bridge, which is independent of the main section. This short piece seemed to be still glued to the soundboard.
The keyboard seems to be original. The octave span is just under that of a modern piano, maybe 1/16th inch or so. This is appropriate for an Italian instrument. The compass is C to f#, which is unusual. The material seems to be boxwood, somewhat dark, possibly stained. The grain is close and looks like boxwood. The playing surfaces are rounded out. The sharps are made of a similar material but capped with thin slips of what appears to be ebony. The levers are somewhat warped but serviceable.

Passage House InnHackney Lane
See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
This pub/restaurant is on the northern bank of the Teign estuary, with views down the river to Teignmouth. The pub draws its name from 'taking passage', a ferry plyed across the river from here. The original inn still stands, but is now only used for functions and music evenings.Today's pub is a modern 'build on' to the old skittle alley and storage building on the opposite side of the carpark. The majority of the buliding is given over to dining, with only a small 'snug bar' comprising of 5 stools at the bar, seating with two tables and a dartboard. Externally there is a canopied patio, together with bench tables on the grass beside the river bank. The house ale is 'Passage Boat Bitter', from the Otter Brewery. The inn is part of the Passage House Hotel, which is 100 yards back up the lane.

Arizona Watch: An Arizona politics and news blog: "All the articles relate to American immigration, but there is no good reason to think anything but the same or similar facts would be uncovered in NZ should someone be willing to look with more than one eye.
* Immigrants aren't flocking to the States to mooch off the government.
* 'Illegals' are not milking the government; if anything it is the other way around. The National Research Council found for example that most immigrant families "contribute an average of $80,000 more to federal coffers than they consume over their lifetimes."
* Immigrants generally earn more than they receive.
* More than 60% of illegals – illegals – pay income tax, and two-thirds kick in to Social Security (even if they do often get nothing back).
* Immigrants help sustain economic growth and cultural dynamism.
* Even economists who favour restrictive immigration policies admit low-skilled immigrants are a net plus to the economy.
* "Government intervention into the economic system breeds later intervention. Here the application of his principle is, start with the Welfare State, end with the Police State. A police state is what is required effectively to stop substantial illegal immigration that has become a major burden because of the Welfare State." - George Reisman
* Immigrants "are generally less involved in crime than"
Woot! This is what I have been trying to tell people.... Except the welfare state thing- the US is anything but a welfare state.
"Each of us must come to care about everyone else's children. We must recognize that the well being of our own children is intimately linked to the well being of all other people's children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else's child will perform it. When one of our children is harmed by violence, someone else's child will commit it. The good life for our own children can be secured only if it is also secured for all other people's children. But to work for the well being of all children is not just a practical matter-- it is also right!" - Lilian G. Katz, Phd.

Though facial recognition isn't exactly flavor of the month at the moment, it could prove popular among revelers queuing at a busy bar. Data science company DataSparQ has introduced the A.I. Bar service, which helps bar staff decide who needs serving next by putting customers in a virtual queue.
Last week Samsung revealed it would cease production on Blu-ray players for the US market. Despite 2018 recording all-time high home entertainment spending, sales of physical media such have been dramatically declining over the past few years. Is this the beginning of the end for physical media?
Even when plugged into a music player or playing games on a smartphone, long bus journeys can be tedious. If you ride a FlixBus on select Las Vegas routes, you could find yourself being offered a VR headset, to transport you to other worlds while the driver takes you where you need to go.
Dolby has finally gotten its own hands dirty and released its first consumer product. Dolby Dimension is a set of wireless, noise-cancelling headphones specifically targeted at home entertainment use – but hey, there's nothing stopping you using them wherever you like.
A system combining robotics and animation software to create lifelike humanoid characters has been demonstrated in a new video by Engineered Arts. Dubbed Mesmer, the technology promises cheaper results by pulling disparate technologies into a single package.
Amazon has announced the latest in its line of Alexa-enabled streaming devices, the Fire TV Cube, which lets you bark voice commands at the TV and other devices from across the room, and access other Alexa mainstays like weather and sports updates.
The team has been let go. The robots are back in a dusty old warehouse, and MegaBots Inc's dream of an international giant fighting robot league lies in tatters. All that stands between Eagle Prime and oblivion is 200 grand, a handycam, a laptop and one desperate founder.
Samsung has whipped the covers off its lineup of 2018 TVs. The flagships of the range are built with QLED displays, varying in size up to a monstrous 88 in. Taking up so much living room real estate, Samsung has also packed in a few new features to let the TVs earn their keep even while not in use.
Sci-fi is now the mainstream and we're seeing millions spent bringing stories to the screen that are gloriously weird and fantastically futurist. Here are our picks looking forward to 2018 on both the big and small screens, from blockbuster sci-fi spectacle to compelling hard science speculations.
What are we going to do with the extra free time made possible by autonomous cars? Intel and Warner Bros. are developing what they call "in-cabin immersive experiences" designed to keep you entertained while you're being chauffeured around.
Samsung is refreshing the Galaxy Tab A, its family-focused tablet first released in 2015. The new model keeps the 8-inch screen, and beefs up the memory, screen resolution, cameras and battery.
Fans of science fiction movies that depict weird, interesting or dystopian futures have plenty to look forward to in 2017. Here are our picks of the movies you should put on your radar if you enjoy cinematic depictions of future technology.

The blood drive I'm hosting is not just your ordinary blood drive. This is a Cedars Sinai blood drive. You remember them, right? Cedars Sinai is home to all the wonderful doctors & nurses that saved Kevin's life. Up to speed now?
Anyway, all the blood donated at this particular blood drive will go directly to Cedars Sinai blood bank. It helps to replenish their blood supply. Remember back in October when Kevin was in surgery and bleeding out of control? ... he needed 50 + units of blood during that one surgery. The surgery following where things spiraled even more out of control, he indeed required more units of blood. I can only imagine that during his future transplant...or any transplant surgery for that matter.. that one would require more blood. I could be wrong because I'm in no way a nurse or a doctor ..... but I don't think I'm wrong in this case.
What I'm trying to say is .... by hosting a Cedars Sinai blood drive it's just another way of saying thank you to a wonderful facility by replenishing their blood supply. I have a personal goal of getting 50 donors (appointments are preferred) at this blood drive. As I type this I've already got 32 donors committed with a scheduled appointment. Of these 32 people... more than half are donating for the first time in Kevin's honor. They are our friends who are displaying courage by donating their blood... they're doing it because they love my little family of four (that's what they told me) but also because they want to say thank you to Cedars Sinai. They all were a part of this living with an LVAD journey from the very beginning and we're lucky to have them all in our life.
Please feel free to share this blog entry on your Facebook page, tweet about it, hang the flyer up at your place of work... by doing so, it would mean you want to say thank you to Cedars Sinai as well. If you can't donate blood for whatever reason, try to get someone to donate for you. If you donate blood at this blood drive, you will receive a coupon for a pint of ice-cream at Baskin Robbins. Pint for a pint! Cute, huh? I love it! So, think about it. It may sound scary or you might be squeamish at the thought of needles.... but think about living with an LVAD and then if that doesn't do it for you, think about getting a heart transplant. Hopefully you decide to join me donating blood, in honor of Kevin, the love of my life.

What are we building
I started to like Sinatra, so I have decided to rebuild the good old Todo app (I did in Flask in this post) in Sinatra. U figured it would help me understand some of the basics (e.g. how to access a database for example).
In this post, we'll be building an extremely simple todo application in Ruby Sinatra. We will use the following URLs to perform CRUD operations on the database.
GET /todos Retrieves a list of all todo items in the database GET /todos/index Retrieves a single todo item from the database POST /todos Inserts a todo item in the database PUT /todos Updates a todo item in the database DELETE /todos Deletes a todo item from the database
Setting up some tools
A while ago, a colleague of mine told me about the Sinatra framework. As last months, I was pretty focused on Rails I was initially a bit sceptical to yet learn another framework. But boy…if I only knew this before. Sinatra is not new at all, it's been around since a couple of years already (actually since 9th September 2007) and was creatred by Blake Mizerany. Sinatra is a small and flexible, free and opensource webframework written in Ruby, which does not follow the typical MVC pattern that is found in other frameworks like Rails for instance.
In this post, I wanted to create my good old todo app in Sinatra.
We will use the following gems for this (put the Gemfile in the rootdirectory):
- gem "sinatra": obviously 🙂
- gem "sqlite3": we will use sqlite in this application
- gem "activerecord": facilitates the access to our database
- gem "sinatra-activerecord": the bridge between Sinatra and the Activerecord interface
- gem "shotgun": development server so that we don't need to reload the webapp each time
- gem "tux": ruby console
Our gem file looks like:
source :rubygems gem "sinatra" gem "sqlite3" gem "activerecord" gem "sinatra-activerecord" group :development do gem "shotgun" gem "tux" end
Obviously, next step:
$bundle install
We also need to create a rackup file. This would be needed if you want to deploy the app with a different Rack handler (Passenger, Unicorn, Heroku, …). Our config.ru file
require "./app" run Sinatra::Application
Creating the database
With ActiveRecord it would be nice to take advantage of database migrations. Therefore, we could add a Rakefile (again under the root folder). The content is:
# Rakefile require "./app" require "sinatra/activerecord/rake"
The "sinatra/activerecord" gen comes with a couple of handy Rake tasks so we can execute them from the command line. To see which rake tasks are available, use the rake -T command. We will use the create_migration task to create our db migration file.
$ rake db:create_migration NAME=create_todos db/migrate/20140811110015_create_todos.rb
You will now see a file called "20140811110015_create_todos.rb" under the db/migrate folder in your Sinatra app. We can now modify this file to create our database tables.
class CreateTodos < ActiveRecord::Migration def up create_table :todos do |t| t.text :content t.boolean :done t.datetime :completed_at t.timestamps end end def down drop_table :todos end end
Executing the following command to do the migration. This command will now create a database called todo.db in the root folder, containing a table called todos.
$ rake db:migrate == 20140811110015 CreateTodos: migrating ====================================== -- create_table(:todos) -> 0.0009s == 20140811110015 CreateTodos: migrated (0.0033s) =============================
Adding some records manually
As we added the Tux gem in our Gemfile, this little handy tool allows us now to store records in our database from the command line.
$ tux Loading development environment (Rack 1.2) >> t = Todo.new(content: "First Todo item", done: false) => # >> t.save D, [2014-08-11T13:04:20.915230 #31773] DEBUG -- : (0.1ms) begin transaction D, [2014-08-11T13:04:20.924566 #31773] DEBUG -- : SQL (0.6ms) INSERT INTO "todos" ("content", "created_at", "done", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) [["content", "First Todo item"], ["created_at", "2014-08-11 11:04:20.916906"], ["done", "f"], ["updated_at", "2014-08-11 11:04:20.916906"]] D, [2014-08-11T13:04:20.939124 #31773] DEBUG -- : (13.9ms) commit transaction => true >> Todo.count D, [2014-08-11T13:04:26.180073 #31773] DEBUG -- : (0.2ms) SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "todos" > 1
Writing the app
What we did until now was some preparation work to get our app setup correctly. We didn't write any decent code yet. As mentioned in the introduction, Sinatra does not really follow an MVC pattern. This means there is a lot of flexibility on how we structure everything. To keep things easy, we will just create an app.rb file under the root directory. Put the following code in the app.rb file:
require "sinatra" require "sinatra/activerecord" set :database, "sqlite3:todo.db" class Todo < ActiveRecord::Base end # Get all of our routes get "/" do @todos = Todo.order("created_at DESC") erb :"todo/index" end
Basically, this code will result in a list of all the todo items when the / route is requested from the webserver. Obviously, since we call the erb "todo/index", we need to create an index.rb file in the views>todo directory. This file should contain the following code:
To do application
To do application
 <% @todos.each do |todo| %>

<a href="/todos/<%= todo.id %>"><%= todo.content %> <%= todo.created_at %>

 <% end %>

To run the code, we will use shotgun. This tool allows us to rerun the application without manually having to restart the server. Note: shotgun is using port 9393 by default, so in your development enviroment, you will find the app through localhost:9393
$ shotgun == Shotgun/WEBrick on http://127.0.0.1:9393/ [2014-08-11 13:56:34] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2014-08-11 13:56:34] INFO ruby 2.0.0 (2014-02-24) [x86_64-linux] [2014-08-11 13:56:34] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=32423 port=9393
The final result
Eventually, this is what we will get:
Admittedly, this is not something very nice and in a next post we will apply some bootstrap to it, so that it starts to look a bit nice. Stay tuned!!
Note: for this blog post I did not add routes to add, update or delete todo items. For those interested, this can be found here. Also, the full code is available on Github.

Jak Jeckel Pepper Sauce
Philadelphia, PA
Gourmet Pepper Sauce 5oz
Flavor Profile:
Jak Jeckel Gourmet Pepper Sauce is our flagship pepper sauce. The Gourmet Pepper Sauce has a very rich smoky, peppery upfront flavor with great depth and complexity. The rich smoky and peppery flavors of the sauce are balanced with a mix of salty, sweet, and citrus background notes. The wonderfully deep flavor and hearty consistency of the sauce is made possible from our unique "NON-vinegar" based formula. With NO vinegar being used, the main base of the sauce comes from the Habanero, Jalapeno, Chipotle, and Red Bell pepper puree. This pepper base allows for a thick full flavored hearty sauce with no bitterness and a gourmet roasted pepper and herb scent.
Flavor Travel:
Starting with a rich smoky pepperiness, an initial habanero-style heat leads into a subtle salty-sweet, and citrus noted flavor, finally ending with an even, yet not overbearing burn from the habanero pepper.
2017 Scovie Award Winner
2017 Hot Pepper Award Winner

Diamond Avatars - By RandomProductions
Artist's Comments: These are small, 32x32 avatars that are very simple. In some cases they may be more useful for WinXP program icons than avatars! Nonetheless, they are nice ones, around 4KB on my machine, which means it's perfect for some phpBB boards I've seen with picky size limits of 6 or 8 KB. These have transparent backgrounds, so they can work across multiple backgrounds, as long as the colors do not blind you when put together.This is a blue version of the diamond shape that is used in all the avatars in this section of the library. You should especially consider it if you are a Democrat.
This is a green version of the diamond, in case you're a leprechaun :)
If you like red, then consider picking up this little guy. I recommend it for Republicans!
This is for those Beatles aficionados ("We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine"… never mind).
This is for those who enjoy Windows and want to promote it, whether that joy be typing reports with Word or writing hilarious jokes that make fun of it.
This is the first one I made, and it is greyscale, 100% (the image isn't saved in that mode, but that's what it essentially is). You should really consider it if you're an independent or if the first thing that comes into your mind when you see the letters 'KKK' is 'joy' and 'belonging' and 'a nice group of people I enjoy spending the weekends with'.2
