Hot Albertan newcomer Ruth B, with a triple platinum single under her tuque as well as a recent JUNO award, will lend her support and her vocals to the contestants. American duo Florida Georgia Line will countrify the atmosphere with its signature brand of greatness. As well, Canadian duo, the platinum folk-pop 2frères will enchant with their unifying choruses. Stéphanie St-Jean, the winner of the last season of The Voice in 2016, is launching her debut album this Friday (May 5, 2017) and will be present to cheer on the victor of 2017. A number of other La Voix alumni will grace the stage at the big shindig including Matt Holubowski, Philippe Touzel, Éléonore Lagacé, and winner of Season One that started off the series, Valérie Carpentier.
To this wealth of exceptional artists are added the 4 fabulous finalists, David Marino, Frank Williams, Ludovick Bourgeois, and Rebecca Noelle, who will have the privilege to offer viewers, for the first time, an original song composed especially for them by their coach. The show, hosted by Charles Lafortune, airs Sunday night at 7:30 pm, live on the TVA network.
David Marino
This potential teen heartthrob, at 18 years old from Montreal, is currently pursuing college studies in science. He's a lover of 50s music and hopes to introduce its style to the present generation. Convinced of the power of music, he set up a benefit concert for the Mental Health Foundation of the Jewish General Hospital. Good luck, David!
Ludovick Bourgeois
This 24-year-old from Lorraine, QC is the son of Les BB singer Patrick Bourgeois, and naturally fell in love with music at a young age, turning to it at the close of his adolescence after enthusiastically pursuing sports. He performed with his dad at Francofolies in 2015 before a crowd of 50,000. But it was his mom who convinced him to join The Voice. Good luck, Ludovick!
Frank Williams
Hailing from Moncton, NB, this 32-year-old is a psychiatric nurse at the Moncton University Hospital Centre. He's a fan of both rock and country and picked up music by scratching into his father's guitar. Frank has already led a few local bands including Spiral Case. Frank's second love is natural scenery, as he spends time exploring his province's countryside and beaches. Good luck, Frank!
Rebecca Noelle
At 32, this Ottawa native is an exceptional R&B and jazz singer. She has performed at venues for 15 years accompanied by her grandpa on piano. She has collaborated with David Gogo touring the U.S. and Europe opening for such wonders as ZZ Top, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt and Johnny Winter. Rebecca has served as a member of The PepTides. Good luck, Rebecca!

What can I do to cope better with my child's diagnosis?
Prepare and research
Nothing can prepare you for the diagnosis of autism however there are things you can do to make it easier. Research, talking to others and joining support groups can help for the times ahead.
Knowing what to expect and sharing your experience with others can help lighten the load. Preparation is also essential for day to day living with a child with autism so you can stay one step ahead of the surprises that life can throw at you. Do some research and reading. There are literally thousands of books and websites about autism. See our links and recommended reading page for some starters.
When researching autism on the internet be very wary of anyone claiming to cure autism, claiming to know the definitive causes of autism or offering expensive treatments. There is no cure (at this stage) for autism and no definitively researched and defined causes. Discuss any treatments or therapies with a doctor or other health professional prior to embarking on them or spending a lot of money. Treatment, interventions and supports need to be tailored for each individual, child and family.
Finding Help
Finding your way through the maze of services and support, information and figuring out what help and support your family actually needs can be a confusing problem for families of children with autism.
Start by contacting your local Autism service provider- .i.e. Gateways, Autism Victoria or Disability Intake at the Department of Human Services. These agencies are designed to provide support and information and to set you on your way to finding the help you need.
Strengthening your relationship
Having a child with autism can be a great stressor on a relationship. Parents have a great deal of stress, grief and other conflicting emotions to deal with. Autism can be physically exhausting, socially isolating and financially draining.
Support is the key. Without supports such as respite and counselling and participation in support groups the health of individuals in the family can suffer. Sibling supports for other children in the family are also vital.
Mothers are vulnerable to social isolation, poverty, depression, and emotional distress. They may experience social exclusion and negative attitudes from the community. Mothers of children with disabilities have the same aspirations for their child as all mothers, but may feel a sense of grief and loss for their child may be fearful for the future and may experience depression and anxiety. It is important for mothers to seek support and not be socially isolated. It does get better with time and each stage of the child's life is different and brings different challenges.
Fathers deal with diagnosis differently to mothers and may be less reluctant to seek help and support. They may feel shame, blame, helplessness and disappointment. Fathers often want to fix things or do practical hands on things for their child, but may not know how. It is important to the health of the relationship and the health of the family that fathers seek help and support at diagnosis and at other times. Relationships within the family of a child with autism are under immense strain and often break down so it is important for fathers to work through their feelings and issues.
Grandparents are important in the life of a child with autism. They can be a great source of support and guidance to the child and their parents.
Grandparents can feel saddened, lost and disappointed at the diagnosis of the child with autism. They may not understand disability and may be from an era where children with disabilities were treated very differently. Counselling, information and support for grandparents is essential to ensure they have a harmonious, productive and loving relationship with their grandchild and can understand and support their needs.
Some specialist grandparent support groups are available. Contact Gateways Support Services, your local autism provider or Autism Victoria.
Other family members may also want to be involved but not best know how to support their niece, nephew or family member. Provide them with the information they need and communicate with them the best way to help you. Negativity towards disability can be an issue in some families, correct information and breaking through myths is important to ensure a cohesive, supportive extended family.
Siblings – for information regarding siblings of children with autism please see Siblings
Non-custodial parents
When a child with autism is visiting the non custodial parent the change of routine and environment can be a cause of great distress for the child and great concern to the custodial parent.
To minimise the stress of access visits some preparation and cooperation is required.
• Try and ensure a similar routine is kept wherever possible; a schedule may need to be provided for the other parent.
• Ensure the child has familiar and important objects or toys with them that help lessen anxiety and keep them calm in an unfamiliar environment.
• Ensure safety measures are in place- locked doors, fences where appropriate, chemicals, matches etc locked away and any other potential dangerous items out of sight.
• Medication- it is critical that if the child is taking medication it cannot be missed. A chemist can easily and cheaply put together a Webster pack for medication which sets out each individual dose with day and time. The medication schedule should be provided to the non-custodial parent and be clearly understood.
• No matter what the remaining relationship status of the parents is, the safety and well being of the child is paramount.
• Communicate and discuss any problems that may arise, and make sure both parties are on the same page when it becomes to dealing with behaviour- a consistent approach is important.
Mental health
• Caring for a person with ASD can has a significant impact on the mental health of parents/carers.
• Serious depression, anxiety, stress and or other health concerns can arise.
• It is important to seek help for these issues to avoid further health complications and burnout.
• A GP can draw up a metal health care plan which can provide 6 free visits to a psychologist.
• Relaxation and meditation, yoga, pilates or other spiritual pursuits can help keep your mental health balanced and provide some much needed downtime
• Take time out do something you enjoy- a hobby or interest, a fitness class, a walk, or a cuppa with a friend.
Physical health
• Keeping active – even if it is just a 30 minute walk each day- is vital to your mental physical and emotional health. Just getting out of the house for some fresh air can help you feel better and help clear your head.
• Eat well – good nutrition is important to your health and coping mechanisms,
• Reduce alcohol and cigarette intake as they can both exacerbate stress, depression and anxiety problems and disturb sleep.
• Sleep- it can be very difficult to get undisturbed sleep when you have a child with autism. Seek help for your child's sleeping problems if necessary, as lack of sleep can contribute to stress, depression and carer burnout.
Social health and well being
• Having a child with autism can be a socially isolating experience.
• You may feel you can't go anywhere together as a family, and or no one understands. You may miss many social and important occasions and just miss out on simple things like being able to visit the shops without a major exercise in planning.
• All of these factors can isolate families and individuals, resulting in depression and stress. Building a social network is very important.
• Catching up with a few close friends, attending a support group or even chatting to others whose child has autism on line can be very useful to break the pattern of social isolation and keep your health in check.
Celebrate the achievements no matter how small
It may sound obvious but celebrate any and all achievements as you go along. Raising a child with autism is an exhausting but incredibly rewarding experience. Celebrating milestones and achievements can give you something to look back on those days that are toughest.
Seek help
•Using respite, counselling, home care and support group services is not a sign of weakness.
•Respite, counselling and support are the tools that can keep families strong and build resilience to go on.
•Without a break you are not at your best to deal with day to day challenges that can wear you down.
•Taking a break as a couple is also vital to ensure the long term success of the relationship.
•For further information on taking a break see RESPITE

If you have any questions about the possible side effects of NETs treatments, then ask your doctor for more information. If you experience severe side effects, your doctor may be able to change your treatment or prescribe some medication to relieve these symptoms.
See the NETs and work section on this website to find out how making adjustments to your work schedule may help you to manage the impact of some treatment side effects.
Flushing of the skin is a very common symptom of carcinoid syndrome, and may appear as a red or purple blush that appears suddenly on the face or neck. These flushes may also occur on the back or legs. They can last from around 30 seconds to as long as 30 minutes. In people with NETs, skin flushing is more likely to be "dry" flushing (without sweating), rather than "wet" flushing (with sweating).
Flushes in people with NETs can be triggered by emotions or stressful situations, by eating certain foods, or by drinking alcohol, caffeine, or hot liquids. Generally, you should avoid triggers, such as:
The tips listed below may help to reduce the number of flushes you have or help you to cope with them:
Some medications, such as antidepressants, may also make symptoms worse. Talk to your doctor to see if there are any treatments you should avoid but don't stop taking any medications without their advice.
Feeling exhausted and lacking energy for day-to-day activities (fatigue), is the most common side effect of treatment for NETs. The exhaustion can range from mild to severe, and is usually worse during treatment.
Some people living with NETs also experience severe tiredness and fatigue after completing treatment. Fatigue can also affect your emotions, relationships, work and other parts of your life so it is important that you recognise and try to manage it.
Tell your doctor about your fatigue, and any problems that may disturb your sleeping patterns, like depression, anxiety and stress. Try some of the following changes to help you find a good balance between activity and rest.
Keep track of your fatigue in a journal. You may notice that you have more energy at certain times of the day:
Some people with NETs can experience pain in and around the organs where their tumours are located. Pain may also be a side effect of some NETs treatments.
If you are suffering from other physical or emotional effects due to NETs, this can make it more difficult for you to handle pain. So consult your doctor to find out if they can recommend any treatments for your pain or ways that you can help to reduce this.
Exercise might feel like the last thing you want to do as someone living with NETs, particularly when you may constantly feel tired. Research shows, however, that exercise is one of the best ways to improve your energy levels and help relieve fatigue in cancer patients.
Studies of women with breast cancer show that regular exercise may strengthen their cancer resistance, and even help prolong life. In interviews, some NETs patients have also said that staying active has made them feel physically stronger and healthier.
You may be more motivated to take part in an exercise routine if you're in a group environment. This can also help you to make new friends and share your exercise goals.
The benefits of exercise include:
"Exercise to me is also going out and doing gardening and mowing the lawn; walking to the shops or doctor instead of driving."
Always talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise activity or programme. For help in finding or starting a local program, ask them to refer you to a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist, an exercise specialist or a rehabilitation specialist.
Look for further information about local exercise activities by:
If you live life in the fast lane, you may find it hard to relax and slow down. However, it is important to find some peace when you are dealing with difficult times during your living with NETs journey.
Relaxing activities called mind-body interventions can help you to:
Learning to relax your body and your mind can also help you to feel good and more in control of your situation. This can have a positive effect on your thoughts. You'll feel calmer and more capable of thinking practically about your problems.
Relaxation techniques to try
"I've always found the simple things help me relax – reading a book, watching a really good TV programme…"
"I do yoga three or four times a week, it helps me to calm down, to feel good."
"…riding a bike is good, as it supports your weight, and you can go at your own pace…"
One of the best ways to find a teacher or a course for these types of relaxation activities is by personal recommendation from someone you trust. Ask your doctor to refer to you to a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or social worker that may be able to provide you with details about these classes at locations in your area.
Look for further information about local relaxation classes by:
"Try and lead a healthy life with a good diet and doing exercise. If needed, ask your specialist to be referred to a nutritionist."
Patient support groups for NETs can often provide social and emotional support
Learn about carcinoid tumours, GI-NETs, pancreatic NETs and lung NETs, and the symptoms of NETs

What does a scam look like?
Scams come in many shapes and forms—an email, SMS, phone call or malicious software—and anyone can be victim to one. Scams often ask for your personal details and confidential information and this is the first step to knowing what to look out for.
It could be a scam if...
- The information presented to you sounds too good to be true.
- The offer, prize or communication has come out of the blue and you have not entered the competition or applied for the information that is being spoken of.
- The message requires a very quick response time to clarify your information or win the prize. This puts you under pressure and doesn't give you much time to think about the validity of the information or talk to people you trust about the situation.
- You receive the information via a free email, for example, Hotmail, Aim, Yahoo or Gmail.
- You are promised large sums of money for very little, or no effort on your part.
- You are requested to provide money upfront, for whatever reason, before the proposed transaction can take place.
- You are requested to confirm personal or account details via a hyperlink, icon or attachment in an email or telephonically.
What is a Phishing Scam?
Phishing is an email scam, where fraudsters send emails to individuals and claim to be from a reliable organisation, such as a banking institution or an email service provider.
The email will attempt to trick you into supplying your account information for a number of reasons, such as your account information needing to be updated or validated, by asking you to click on a link or icon found within the email. Once clicked on, the link will launch a fake website that resembles a real website. On the website, you will be asked to share your personal bank account information, such as your username or password for your online banking profile or email account, or even your cell phone number and bank card details. Any information that you share on the fake website is captured by the fraudsters and then used to defraud you.
How to identify a Phishing scam
There is usually a sense of urgency in the email, followed by a threat—the suspension of your bank account, for example—and you are required to respond quickly. This doesn't give you much time to think about the situation at hand or speak to people you trust.
The email states that you have been a victim of fraud, or have received funds, and you need to log in to your accounts 'here' to report the incident and cancel your bank card, or give permission to release the sum of money.
You are required to supply your personal and account details via a hyperlink, attachment or icon, provided in the email.
What is a Vishing scam?
A vishing scam is a common electronic technique that attempts to access your personal and account details using a telephone call.
You receive an unverified SMS stating that a Standard Bank official will contact you shortly to update or verify your account details and personal information. The scammers then contact you telephonically asking you to update or verify your information. You oblige, providing them with all the necessary information they need to access your bank account. Remember, Standard Bank will never ask for your banking details, password, PIN or One Time Password (OTP) over the phone.
How to identify a vishing scam
There is a sense of urgency in the phone call, followed by a threat: your account will be suspended should you not supply or verify the necessary information immediately. This doesn't give you much time to think about the situation at hand or speak to people you trust.
You are requested to update, verify or confirm your personal account information such as bank account number, PIN and/or password telephonically.
What is a Spoofed website scam?
A spoofed website claims to be the legitimate website of a particular organisation, and is set up to mimic the original website.
Spoofed websites usually have similar logos to the original organisation that they are mimicking and, in some cases, may even be identical. Typically, the intention of a spoofed website is to associate a scam with a reputable institution, and is set up to validate other scams such as the 419 or phishing scam.
How to identify a Spoofed website scam
You are required to click on a hyperlink, attachment or icon provided in an email you are sent directing you to the spoofed website, rather than typing in the URL directly into the browser.
You are required to disclose personal details or account information on the website you were directed to via the email you receive.
The spoofed website, accessed via the given hyperlink in the email, does not have one of Standard Bank's official website addresses or URLs that you usually use to access information or use to access online banking.
What is a deposit and refund scam?
The deposit and refund scam attempts to steal goods or services from a business without actually making the necessary payments.
Scammers will order goods or services from your business, supposedly making the payment into your account. This is done mostly by means of a fraudulent or stolen cheque. A fake proof of payment is then sent to you, and your business delivers the goods to the perpetrator. Later on, it is uncovered that the cheque is fraudulent and that no funds were transferred to your business' account. In other instances, the scammer may cancel the order and request an urgent refund.
Alternatively, scammers may also deposit a fraudulent cheque into your account only to then contact you stating that they 'mistakenly' deposited funds into your account. The caller will ask you to refund the amount immediately, and will send you the proof of payment.
How to identify a deposit and refund scam
You are requested to refund an individual urgently after he has cancelled his order, or the payment is made in 'error'.
You are requested to refund an individual urgently before you have time to verify with Standard Bank that the deposit was made into your account and that it is indeed valid.
You don't know the supposed person requesting the refund.
You are not sure whether the payment is a cheque deposit or not.
You are unable to phone the requestor on a predetermined number to confirm the request.
What is a change of banking details scam?
A change of banking details scam attempts to steal funds through supplying false information of a change of bank account details.
You receive an email, letter or fax supposedly from a recognised supplier. The communication informs you of a change in bank account details and asks you to update your records accordingly. These 'new' bank account details are, however, false. Your monthly payment is therefore paid to the scammer and not your supplier as originally intended. Always be wary of changing account details. If a request is received, before changing anything, first confirm with the respective supplier, with a contact you trust, in writing or by telephone.
How to identify a change of banking details scam
The request you receive to change your supplier's bank account details doesn't come from your usual 'contact' or point of contact at the supplier.
The request for change of bank details wasn't made via official correspondence or using the contact details that you have in your database.
What is a SIM swap scam?
In a SIM swap scam, scammers perform a SIM swap without your knowledge, allowing them to intercept phone calls, SMSs and messages.
Typically, the SIM swap takes place after the scammers have received your login details as a result of you responding to, for example, a phishing email. Once scammers have access to your cellphone number and other personal information, they can pose as you and request a new SIM card from your cellular service provider. They will then have access to your phone calls and SMSs, including the OTP SMS facility as well as any other notifications they could use to their fraudulent advantage.
How to identify a SIM swap scam
You are suddenly no longer receiving calls or messages on your cellphone.
You do not receive the OTP you have requested, even when trying a second time.
Your cellphone suddenly has no network signal in a usual network area.

How to protect yourself
Always be alert: scammers are well known for luring their victims into believing they are from recognised institutions, such as Stanbic Bank. Do not share any personal information or account details via email or telephonically.
Do not click on attachments, hyperlinks or icons in unsolicited emails: Even if they appear to be from Standard Bank. Delete the email immediately and visit your nearest branch, or call us directly to verify the email and information that you have received.
Never share personal or confidential details: Do not disclose any personal or account details via email or telephonically, regardless of the information they might have on you.
Keep an eye out for spoofed websites: Remember to always type the URL yourself in the internet browser to access the webpage, rather than clicking given hyperlinks.
Report suspected fraud: if you think you have received a scam, or been victim to a scam, it is best to stop all forms of communication and report the incident immediately.
Few more ways to keep your banking details protected
Create a strong Password
To help keep your online banking profile safe, follow these tips on how to create a strong password:
Use unique passwords for each of your important accounts
Using the same password across your various accounts is risky. If someone figures out your password for one account, he or she has access to all of your other accounts, including personal details and confidential information.
Include a combination of letters (capital and lowercase), numbers and special characters
Make sure your password contains at least eight characters
There is no minimum password length, however, create a password that is at least eight characters in length. This will help to keep your password strong and others from guessing it.
Avoid known information such as names, places, common words
Your password should not be obvious so don't use personal information such as, your name, your family's names, where you live, birthdate etc. Don't use simple words or phrases, such as 'password', or keyword patterns such as 'qwerty'. This will only make your password easier to guess.
Change your password regularly
Your password is the key to your bank account and should be changed at regular intervals. We recommend changing your password every 30 days
Protect your password
Don't disclose your password, any personal details or confidential information to anyone—online or over the phone.
Card and PIN protection
Never disclose your Card number, customer selected PIN number, banking username, password or ATM PIN to anyone.
Don't use the same PIN twice
Don't use the same PIN across various accounts. This can be risky; if someone figures out your password for one account, he or she has access to all of your other accounts.
Avoid known information such as your date of birth
Your PIN should not be obvious; don't use personal information as your password.
Change your PIN regularly
Your PIN is the key to your bank account, and should be changed at regular intervals. We recommend changing your PIN every 30 days.
Protect your PIN
If you think your banking details, password or PIN may have been compromised, or that your banking access is at risk in any way, let us know immediately. For more information, call our Customer Care on 0800 250 250

SSHKit is an amazing tool to run any commands on your VPS or docker images as any user. Capistrano uses it to all the server related stuffs. In other words you can build your own deployer software or server maintenance tools using SSHKit.
$ gem install sshkit
Simple Introduction
Lets create a ruby script to create a file in my VPS's home directory
require 'sshkit' require 'sshkit/dsl' on ['email@example.com'], in: :sequence, wait: 1 do |host| within '~' do # or '/home/deployer/' as :deployer do execute 'echo', 'My name is shiva > shiva.txt' end end end
Go and check in your VPS, you see the file
Run a command as a different user
# `hosts` is an array of Host object / String
# Example
# hosts = [SSHKit::Host.new('firstname.lastname@example.com')]
# hosts = ['email@example.com', 'firstname.lastname@example.com']
# #
on hosts do |host|
as 'www-data' do
puts capture(:whoami)
puts capture(:pwd)
Things you can do with SSHKit
- Using with Rake
- Run with default environmental variables
- Run a command in a different directory
- Run a command with specific environmental variables
- Print some arbitrary output with the logging methods
- Run a command in a different directory as a different user
- Run a command which requires interaction between the client and the server
- Download a file from disk
- Upload a file from disk Like config/database.yml
- Upload a file from a stream
- Upload a directory of files
- Setting global SSH options
- Run a command with a different effective group ID
- Stack directory nestings
- Do not care about the host block
- Change the output formatter (:pretty, :simpletext. :dot, blackhole)
- Implement a dirt-simple formatter class
- Set a password for a host.
- Execute and raise an error if something goes wrong
- Make a test, or run a command which may fail without raising an error
- Do something different on one host, or another depending on a host property
- Run a command without it being command-mapped
- Using without the DSL
- Use the Host properties attribute
- Running local commands
Some examples
run_locally do within '~/projects/jc' do execute :touch, 'new_file.rb' info 'File successfully created' end end
INFO [e4df5c2e] Running /usr/bin/env touch new_file.rb as john@localhost INFO [e4df5c2e] Finished in 0.003 seconds with exit status 0 (successful). INFO File successfully created => #<IO:<STDOUT>>

Synthesis, Characterization, and Aqueous Solution Behavior of Electrolyte- and pH-Responsive Carboxybetaine-Containing Cyclocopolymers
Document Type
Publication Date
Polymers and High Performance Materials
A novel pH- and salt-responsive carboxybetaine monomer, 4-(N,N-diallyl-N-methylammonio)butanoate (2), was prepared and cyclocopolymerized with the cationic monomer N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride (3) in 0.5 M NaCl aqueous solution (pH = 7.0) using 2-hydroxy-1-[4(hydroxyethoxy)phenyll-2-methyl-1-propanone (Irgacure 2959) as the free-radical photoinitiator. The molar feed ratio of 2:3 was varied from 100:0 to 0:100 with the total monomer concentration held constant at 2.5 M. Cyclopolymerization to five-membered ring structures common to diallylammonium salts was confirmed by C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Reactivity ratio studies indicate that 2 and 3 copolymerize in a nearly ideal fashion (r(1) = 0.86, r(2) = 0.99). Weight-average molecular weights and second virial coefficients vary from (6.0 to 12.8) x 10(4) g mol(-1) and (1.62 to 5.36) x 10(-4) mL Mol g(-2), respectively. Dilute solution viscosity behavior depends on copolymer composition, ionic strength, and pH. Copolymers with a large excess charge exhibit typical polyelectrolyte behavior, while those with balanced charge exhibit "anti-polyelectrolyte" behavior reported for zwitterionic (co)polymers. The polymers studied here are closely analogous cyclocopolymers we prevoiusly reported containing sulfobetaine mer units.(25) Unlike solutions of sulfobetaine-containing polymers, soltuions of poly(2-co-3) remain soluble at very low ionic strength even up to 100% incorporation of 2. Additionally, while the sulfobetaine systems are insensitive to pH, solutions of poly(2-co-3) exhibit a pH-dependent viscosity. All the copolymers have an apparent pK(a) of similar to3.6. Copolymers with 2 incorporations of 28 mol % and above have viscosity responsiveness between pH values of 2.5 and 4.5. The maximum pH response was achieved for solutions of poly(2-co-3) containing 37 and 56 mol % of the carboxybetaine monomer 2.

I am, it seems, always reading more than one book at a time. Usually because, at the very least, in addition to the book I am reading, I am also listening to a book on CD in the car as I drive places. Tonight on my way home from the church I finished listening to My Life as a Traitor by Zarah Ghahramani. This book chronicles the story of her growing up in Iran under the Islamic regime, her student activism protesting that regime, and her arrest, imprisonment and torture as the penalty she paid for that protest and activism. The book is co-authored by Australian reporter Robert Hillman who helped Ghahramani escape Iran after her release from prison.
"I want my pink shoes!" is her protest slogan. "That would be enough," she writes, "for once the mullahs conceded my right to wear pink shoes, so much that is good and kind and wise and just plain human would follow."
The New York Times has a good review of the book online and I found a nice profile of Ghahramani (written by Hillman) in the Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald.

1. Re: OLAP Limitations / Differences?Ed Egan Jul 28, 2011 8:27 AM (in response to Robin Sarac)
We use Tableau exclusively against our OLAP database. I know of no clear outline that documents the differences, it's just been a learning curve. A big difference is that you cannot make calculations against dimensions directly you have to build calculated measures. I found that data sets and calculations are best created in the cube itself as opposed to within Tableau. Is there anything specific you are trying to accomplish?
2. Re: OLAP Limitations / Differences?Robin Sarac Jul 28, 2011 12:52 PM (in response to Robin Sarac)
Thank you very much for responding with your experience!
I'm not trying to accomplish anything specific at this point. To be honest, I was just surprised at how different it was. I guess, when I think of it, I shouldn't be surprised that the experience would be different considering how OLAP works.
We're running a pilot in our organization that has us testing Tableau Server and considering a much wider deployment of Tableau Professional. Understanding how different the experience is when connected to OLAP cubes is important because, frankly, it change Tableau's promise a bit. Also, it may cause us to reconsider when a cube makes sense. IF the flexibility isn't there and there isn't enough data that pre-aggregated data delivers a huge boost in performance...
I had trouble throwing in a Number of Records calculated measure which is normally available by default. It seemed to return 1. This isn't surprising as Analysis Services was probably legitimately returning one row served from a pre-aggregated slice in the cube.

Here's a Knowledge Base article that you might find useful http://www.tableausoftware.com/functional-differences-olap-relational

Thank you for the link! That's very helpful indeed.
5. Re: OLAP Limitations / Differences?Syed Shah Apr 13, 2013 4:03 PM (in response to Ed Egan)
Hi Ed,
I have a few questions regarding olap cube usage in tableau
- How to use parameter in MDX expression as we cannot use dimensions in calculated field
- How to create relative week filter. I want a filter which select last 13 weeks by default
- I am trying to create a scatter plot. However I don't know how to disaggregate the measures when using cube
Can you please provide some help or guidance here

Principles and Methods of Biodynamic Farming
At first glance, it may seem like biodynamic farmers practice a strange magic. Steiner's methodology includes such things as packing dung into cow horn and burying it underground in the autumn to later be transformed into a root-stimulating spray. Weed and pest control preparations involve scattering the ashes of burned pests or weeds on fields to ward off future pest problems, kind of the agricultural equivalent to mounting the heads of one's enemies on pikes outside the city walls. The farmers even consult the stars.
Is it as kooky as it sounds? Biodynamic farmers follow a spiritual methodology that is missing from organic agriculture and practice an accompanying series of steps for keeping farms sustainable and self-nourishing, as outlined by Steiner. It's biology combined with belief. They see the farm as its own closed-loop ecosystem, not just land where food is produced. While it's true biodynamic farmers are in tune with the rhythm of nature, such as how the phase of the moon may impact when it's best to plant seeds and how the planets affect plant growth, it's in combination with sustainable farming practices.
There are six principles of biodynamic farming: plant diversity, crop rotation, animal life, composting, homeopathic solutions and life forces.
Plant diversity is a method of keeping soil healthy by allowing a variety of plants to grow on uncultivated land; it's enhanced by mixing crops so plants work in support of each other (if one plant depletes a certain nutrient in the soil, a companion plant releases that same nutrient into the soil). Conventional farming practices sometimes adhere to monocropping, such as a farm planting and harvesting soybeans on the same fields year after year. In contrast, crop rotation and an assortment of animal life are an important part of sustainable agriculture. The practice of rotating crops from field to field and raising varied animal species, along with cover crops and green manures, encourages healthy soil, reduces parasites and controls weeds and pests.
Composting is elemental in biodynamic agriculture. It is the source of healthy soil -- the recycled manures and organic waste in the compost pile create humus vital to the farm. When spread on fields, the humus stabilizes nitrogen in the soil, vital to crop productivity. There are nine homeopathic preparations based on extracts from animal, plant and mineral manure, each diluted into sprays and used sparingly to homeopathically treat compost, soil and plants in a process called dynamization. Each preparation is numbered, 500 through 508 -- six are key to composting, two are used to stimulate humus and one is used to suppress fungal disease on crops.
And last but not least, the life force. Life force separates biodynamic farming from other agriculture because it's the acknowledgement that in addition to earthly influences (biology, physics, chemistry), cosmic forces (moon phases, celestial and seasonal cycles) play a role in the life of the farm.

Q&D 2 page per day calendar
I use the 2-page system with simple scheduling & task lists on one page and a diary page on the other for various things, such as daily meeting notes. I've found the stuff on the site very interesting - but one of my frustrations has been trying to get calendar pages printed correctly. The Dynamic Templates app is pretty good, but personally I think it needs some refinement - after trying to make it print usable pages, I gave up & created this very simple page setup for a generic, undated calendar & diary page using OpenOffice's Calc (spreadsheet application).
It's black & white, and pretty plain looking - I'm printing on a B&W laser, so I didn't want color. However, it's easy enough to customize this, as well as editing the fields for time of day (my shift starts at 7AM). Granted, it's not very flashy - I also worked a bit with the DIY kit, but found it cumbersome to work with - but it does what it's supposed to do.
Feel free to customize it any way you see fit, and please upload any cool variations for others.
Note that this will print pages with the schedule on the right-hand page, while the diary is on the left. This works for me, but it's backwards from the Day Timer page I patterned this after.
[EDIT] If you want it the other way around, then I suggest adjusting the inner & outer columns. Notice that the image has the wider margins (1/2") on the outer edges of the page. If you make them smaller, and then make the center columns on either side of the cut line 1/2" wide, you should be good to go. The two 8-1/2" x 11" pages are created vertically (i.e. scroll down to see page 2) so your changes should reflect on both pages if you work with columns.
FYI, I made it 2 pages so I could easily do duplex printing.
Also, row height should be .25" all the way down.

I like this but..
I like this but am not able to make adjustments. The file extension says read-only. Is there a way to 'unlock' it? I am not very computer savvy so if this is an easy obvious fix I am sorry.
Also, is it an easy task to re-size to a smaller page? I use the FC compact at 4.25' x 6.75'.
Thank you,

Sweeping silently through the night..
Unseen.. They come..
Seeping through the cracks. They enter our lives.
Misunderstood, misread..
They do what they do. No one knows why..? How..?
Where from..? Where to..?
Some attack, and overwhelm us.. Some don't.
Nothing about them seems conistent.
Other than their unnerving presence.
At first we fight.
But it's a weak pathetic fight.
Nothing seems to stop them. We are powerless..
Over time. We begin to understand.
We begin to appreciate their differences..
"If graphics were
music, these would
be slammin tunes"
(Comments book May 11)
Some are bad. Very bad.. But some are good..
Most of them just want to play.
But some want to kill, maim and destroy us.
We learn to use them. We learn to
turn them against one another.
And eventually, to depend upon them.
The 'good' ones make life easier, better, more fun.
The 'bad' ones.. They know nothing other
than destruction, death and mayhem.
These, are the 8-bits.
A new age is upon us,
and they will never leave.
They begin to evolve..
So, must we..

What is supply and demand?
In economics, supply and demand is the relationship between the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices and the quantity that consumers wish to buy. Though it is a seemingly straightforward relationship, in practical application it can become quite complicated. In this blog, we will use an example to illustrate the basic relationship between supply and demandRead More

coefficients in a computable field. Refinement is conventionally used to effect a demonstrably-correct development from an abstract specification. Emergent systems present an interesting challenge in terms of demonstrably-correct development, because there is a discontinuity between the global and local system descriptions. This is a position paper, exploring some aspects of the

challenge in relation to the traditional model of refinement. We classify Kropina metrics of weakly isotropic flag curvature in dimension greater than two. Moreover, we prove that every Einstein Kropina metric in dimension greater than two is a Ricci constant metric with vanishing S-curvature in different way from Zhang and Shen (2013) [14] and prove the three-dimensional rigidity theorem for an Einstein Kropina metric.

Malawi + 12 more
Joint Assessment Mission Dzaleka Refugee Camp, December 2012
The Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) conducted in September 2012 aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the situation, needs, risks, capacities and vulnerabilities of refugees in Malawi with regard to food, livelihood, their nutritional/health situation and related matters. The current programme is coming to an end, and this JAM Report aims to provide information for further assistance through the design of a new programme cycle for both WFP (the PRRO) and UNHCR. The last JAM was carried out in 2009 in coordination with the GoM and other stakeholders.
The joint assessment team conducted a series of activities at Dzaleka Camp, including a verification exercise, and assessments of the food security situation and the refugees' nutritional status; consultations were held with NGO partners, government and refugees and other stakeholders. Focus Group Discussions were conducted with representative groups on the common issues affecting both the refugees and the surrounding local population.

Chuck E. Cheese's just launched its More Cheese Rewards program and I'm a big fan already! We celebrated my youngest daughter's half birthday there (you can read why we celebrated her half birthday in this post).
I was impressed then at how much had changed and it seems that Chuck E. Cheese's is still working on getting better all the time. The most recent improvement is its new loyalty program.
How to Sign Up for More Cheese Rewards
Signing up for More Cheese Rewards is easy. You can sign up on your computer or on mobile.
Website Sign Up
On desktop, visit Chuck E. Cheese's website and click the "Register Now" button. You'll see this form:
Simply fill it in and click "Submit." You'll immediately receive a confirmation e-mail with a link to click to confirm your email address.
The link will open in your web browser and you should be able to log in. Then, you'll be prompted to verify your mobile phone number (they'll send you a verification code via text). Once you've verified your mobile number, your first reward (a free personal pizza) will show up in your account!
Mobile Sign Up
Search for the Chuck E. Cheese's More Cheese mobile app in the iTunes or Google Play store.
As a lover of puns, I was tickled with the description under the screenshots of the app. Guaran-cheesed. Oh Chuck E. Cheese's, you get me!
Once you've installed the app and open it, you'll see this screen:
Click "SIGN UP" and you'll see a form very similar to the desktop form I showed earlier. After that, all the steps are the same.
What You Get With More Cheese Rewards
The More Cheese Rewards program gives you free food, drinks, games and prizes above and beyond what you normally enjoy at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Free Pizza
When you sign up and confirm your mobile number, you immediately earn a free personal one-topping pizza.
To claim your free pizza, just go to the counter where you normally place your order and tell them you're using your More Cheese Rewards. They'll ask for your mobile number and confirm your name. That's it!
Spending Credit
You earn $10 in rewards after you've visited Chuck E. Cheese's three times within a 12-month period and spent at least $20 each visit. To give you an idea of how far your money will go, I spent $30 total on play points and the four kids I had with me played for an hour and a half before they ran out of points.
Plus, aside from alcohol and gift card purchases, most everything else counts towards your $20 minimum purchase. Food and drinks, birthday packages, and purchases made with coupons and/or gift cards. It's cheaper for me to take my daughter and her friends to Chuck E. Cheese's for the afternoon than it is to go bowling or to the movies!
Birthday Rewards
You also get birthday rewards. For my daughter's birthday reward she got 20 minutes of unlimited games (required a $10 purchase) during the week of her birthday. She'll also get 100 free tickets the month of her half-birthday.
Referral Rewards
Even better, we all know Chuck E. Cheese's is way more fun with friends so you even get rewarded for letting your friends know about the More Cheese Rewards program! Not only do you get to hang with your favorite mom friends while the kids play games, you get 100 free tickets for each friend you refer.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese's. The opinions and text are all mine.

Bill Mollison has for three decades traveled the globe spreading the word of permaculture, the method of sustainable agriculture that he devised (co-created with David Holmgre). This documentary series shows Bill traveling the globe showing proven examples of Permaculture in action, all in a full range of climates. In this episode he visits temperate (cool) climates including England, UK. More episodes to follow in future.
Permaculture weaves together things such as microclimates, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils and water management together along with human needs to help create intricately connected productive communities. Mollison has shown here that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture can empower people on a local level to turn wastelands into food forests.

I know it's theoretically wrong for a Republican candidate to smack around an annoying liberal journalist, but that still doesn't mean that I care. Our ability to care is a finite resource, and, in the vast scheme of things, millions of us have chosen to devote exactly none of it toward caring enough to engage in fussy self-flagellation because of what happened to Slappy La Brokenshades.
Sorry, not sorry.
And that's not a good thing, not by any measure, but it is a real thing. Liberals have chosen to coarsen our culture. Their validation and encouragement of raw hate, their flouting of laws (Hi leakers! Hi Hillary!) and their utter refusal to accept democratic outcomes they disapprove of have consequences. What is itself so surprising is how liberals and their media rentboyz are so surprised to find that we normals are beginning to feel about them the way they feel about us – and that we're starting to act on it. If you hate us, guess what?

When you run into someone who is disagreeable to others, you may be sure he is uncomfortable with himself; the amount of pain we inflict upon others is directly proportional to the amount we feel within us. - Sidney J. Harris
Few life lessons warrant as much attention as this. People who are miserable with others are miserable about themselves.
Being the well-balanced happy individual you are, you likely just ignore grumpy, miserable or anger-filled people, believing—correctly—that they should hold no place of importance in your life.
Try to put yourself into the position of the many people who feel hurt when someone snubs them, insults them, steals from them, commits a personal offence such as assault or rape against them or acts just plain mean toward them. These people really care that someone has taken the trouble to be so hurtful.
What they may not understand is why. People who are miserable with others act that way because they are miserable within themselves. They don't like themselves. They don't like their own lives and they see no reason why others should like theirs. Of course they won't admit it to you or anyone. They're not stupid.
True, there are professional curmudgeons. Many get paid to be outrageously insulting and offensive on radio or television. Actors and book writers who write about controversial subjects have an obligation to be miserable sometimes because the public expects it of them. Some act the role, but many really are miserable within themselves.
Why should we care about them?
For many of us, we learned from our mothers that it is important that others like us. When someone doesn't, we feel that we failed somehow. When my grandmother taught me that lesson, she neglected to mention that some people are not worth the effort it takes to be on their good side.
Some don't even have a good side. Unless they are drunk or on marijuana. It seems as if most of the miserable people mellow out when they drink alcohol.
It would be important for me to impart to you a few tips as to what you could do to make these miserable people happy or at least less volatile, insulting or offensive. However, that would be impossible. Those who become entrenched in their misery will only come out of it after a life-altering experience (such as near-death), and most don't even then.
A few psychologists know the methods for conducting intensive reprogramming sessions with such people, but this is expensive and miserable people rarely want to cooperate anyway.
For many of them, the longer they are miserable with the world, the more comfortable they become with it. They get used to it, they depend on it. It's what they know. In a sense, expressing their misery to others in vituperative ways is their way of retreating to a corner to lick their wounds the life has inflicted on them.
It's a call for help, but only by a few. Most will actively refuse help, even decline overt acts of friendship. Misery becomes their opiate, no matter how counterintuitive that may seem. Call it a sign that help is needed but mostly not wanted.
When these people appear on your horizon, you would be best advised to change course to avoid them. If you can't avoid them, be cool to them because warmth means that you are open to attack, that you are vulnerable, an easy target.
It's said that misery loves company. It's a strange kind of relationship and it shouldn't be called true friendship, but it happens.
Miserable people are often socially immature or maldeveloped. Long ago they found that making friends was difficult, even impossible. Experiencing examples where their trust of someone was betrayed deepened their distrust of others. They never learned how to make a friend because they were never taught the skills.
Maybe all they have left that comforts them is their misery, toward themselves and others.

The North Woods Passage Week Long Winter Camping Trip
- 5 days dog sledding
- 4 nights winter camping
- First and last night in a comfortable lodge
- Premier style (you drive your own team for the entire trip)
- Explore over 100 miles of the Boundary Waters wilderness by dog team
- Our longest trip, and most physically demanding one
The Adventure Trip of a Lifetime
The Boundary Waters is a remote region of wilderness lakes, rivers and forests that straddles the Minnesota-Canada border. Comprised of more than one million acres of pristine lakes, the densest concentration in America, and off limits to motorized vehicles, it is a frozen maze of trail possibilities that beckon in winter. Though skiers, snowshoers and ice fishing enthusiasts explore the periphery, dogsleds are the way to get truly deep in to this wilderness.
A Camping Trip For Those Craving Adventure
If you light up when you make the first tracks on a lake, or enjoy the fresh perspective that comes from being away from it all, you'll appreciate exploring a cross-section of this renowned wild place, draped in winter's hibernating coat of snow and ice. On this five day, four night adventure, you'll learn everything from how to care for and bond with your canine crew and how to stay toasty in the winter to how to traverse a narrow path between a fir and a spruce tree and stay upright on your dogsled. Expect to see tracks of timber wolves, fox and perhaps an otter sliding across the snow. Sleep under the stars for a chance peek at the northern lights, or certainly a star-filled winter sky.
We save this rugged trip for later in the season when the days are longer, the dogs are at peak condition and lake travel is typically easier. This traverse of the Boundary Waters will cover well over 100 miles on a route crossing the heart of the wilderness and home to our kennel. Mush past windswept islands with rugged glacier carved granite cliffs. Test your mushing agility as we navigate tricky portage trails between lakes. If you thrive on hands-on opportunities, have some outdoor camping experience under your belt and are craving an adventure off the beaten path, consider joining us for an unforgettable dogsledding trip.

'Silent Lucidity'
Craig Weeks of Fleming Island, Fla., captured a stunning sunset and the grand prize of the photo contest sponsored by Georgia-Pacific Co. and the St. Johns River Alliance. The winning photographs appear in a 15-month calendar reflecting the beauty and character of the 310-mile river, the longest in Florida.
Weeks calls this one "Silent Lucidity." "This was taken on Fleming Island looking over Doctor's Lake that feeds in the St. John's River."

This week is a big one for the industry, with the five broadcast networks unveiling their schedules for the coming Autumn. Because I won't be in LA to watch pilots (and I don't have a problem with that) I will be waiting for some kind souls to upload them to Mininova, at which point I will be telling you guys all about them. I wasn't particularly looking forward to any one show (except maybe the one with Jason Biggs and David Cross about the Wall Street guy who dies and goes to hell) until I read the Televisionary's review of Pushing Daisies, from the creators of Wonderfalls.
Now I have to tell you as much as I loved every single episode of Wonderfalls, I am amazed that it ever got to air with such a wacky premise, and this new show looks just the same. It has to be read (or seen, whatever) to be believed. So this is my tip for my favourite show of next season, that nobody gets and is canceled before November sweeps.
As I hear more about pilots I will let y'all (southern accent included) know about them right away. NBC announce their schedule at 8pm (BST) tonight. I will be asleep on a tube home, but I will post it up soon after that, when I wake up waay past my stop minus wallet, phone and underpants. peace.

ECC - Our vision
The European Care Certificate (ECC) is the first small step towards ensuring the consistently high quality of social care services across the EU. A partnership of 18 member states (with more joining over time) has created an agreed definition of what staff entering social care services for the first time need to know as a minimum to work in the social care sector in any member country of the EU.
These definitions are called the 'Basic European Social Care Learning Outcomes' (known as the BESCLO for short) and they are the main content behind the ECC. The ECC is awarded to anyone who passes the ECC exam and so can demonstrate that they have a good knowledge of all the areas of the BESCLO. Click on the 'BESCLO' link for more details of the content of the BESCLO.
The vision for the future of social care in the EU is that anyone who is working in social care services in any EU state will be able to study for and pass the ECC exam, sharing the same values and knowledge base in their work, creating a common foundation in care services across all of the EU. Workers can use their ECC in any country as a demonstration of their knowledge of the basics in social care. Employers will then be confident that the worker shares the same value base and has the right basic knowledge. The ECC will improve employability and worker mobility across the EU in a sector where the majority of workers have no training or recognised qualification in care at all at entry level. It will provide millions of care workers across the EU with a way of having their knowledge recognised and independently assessed.
The ECC has been recognised in different ways in different states, but has achieved formal recognition as a qualification on Level III of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
Attention- all employers and trainers!
The ECC can be used in a variety of ways because it is defined by demonstrating that a worker has understood a set of simple learning outcomes. There are no set 'ECC courses' or methods of learning (though we can provide both taught and distance learning courses if you would like them) - workers can learn in any way over any period of time. The only criterion is that they must be able to pass the ECC Exam.
Some trainers offer the ECC as an optional extra (free during the NPBCWR Project) to an existing course, others use it as means of assessing progress or as a requirement or entry procedure to the next stage of learning. Managers sometimes use it to show regulators that their staff group does know the basics and that inductions have been properly completed. Employers can use it to screen staff and identify those applicants with good basic knowledge and attitudes.
With all these options, the ECC is a truly flexible tool with a potentially positive outcome for the staff too!
The ECC and Induction
The European Care Certificate (ECC) is set at entry level for all care workers. It is a knowledge based award and is especially suitable for workers who have completed their induction in social care and would like to have some formal recognition of their learning. The eight areas of the BESCLO are effectively covered by the Common Induction Standards (CIS) used in England. So if you have completed your CIS, you ought to be able to pass the ECC exam - so why not give it a try? You can do it online or on paper through any of our lead or Delivery partners based in the UK.
