Agriculture and environment
Remote monitoring of equipment and irrigation systems drastically lowers the cost of farming
Agriculture may not be the most glamorous M2M service sector in today's heavily populated post-industrial world of the Internet, smartphones, and computer tablets, yet it is huge with many sub-sectors. And besides, all of the over 7 billion humans now on the planet still have to eat. Farm processes and management have become increasingly automated, sharing in the convergence of IT, communications and automation found in other industries. Unique applications revolve around the planting, cultivation, and harvesting of crops and the raising and slaughtering of livestock, but many application areas closely resemble those found in other sectors. The success of M2M solutions in the world of agriculture and food production is well known. In fact, some of the most effective means of reducing processing costs and improving yield have been through the deployment of M2M technology. The biggest application area within agriculture is the reduction of wastage within land cultivation by means of remote monitoring of irrigation systems and logistical processes such as container asset management.
Most of the applications for agriculture, livestock production and environment are used in zones poorly covered by traditional cellular networks. Sensors deployed on farms and used on animals need to have batteries and great autonomy to avoid additional constraints to farmers. Operating margins in these sectors are very low, so inexpensive systems and low induced costs are critical. The SIGFOX network aggregates all these benefits allowing operators to significantly improve their productivity.<
Some of the use cases that become possible with the SIGFOX network relate to weather (monitoring frost on fruit orchards and vineyards); irrigation control; soil condition (moisture, acidity, etc); security (theft of livestock, farm equipment or crops); monitoring the health status of animals; measuring the level and quality of river water.

Last year I took some time off to travel around the world with my best friends and my sketchbook. We've been to Russia, Australia, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom and the European mainland.
When I got home, I started this project. Every illustration stands for each story we experienced on our trips.

30 Mar 2014
It takes a great deal more than words to be a Christian, or even to truthfully call oneself religious; but in Hollywood, where superficiality rules, spirituality is like an all-access pass, no Biblical understanding required.
Apparently, Paramount Studios caught wind of all the hullabaloo about how the American public is clamoring for faith-based films. They got a Christian producer and a first-rate, albeit atheist, director, and the project was quickly green-lighted. However, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details! Director Darren Aronofsky is a fan of science fiction and fantasy who apparently sees the Bible as a fanciful collection of scary bedtime stories, so they added a back-story that he had always had a fascination with (only) the story of Noah. The result is a movie about an environmentalist vegan during apocalyptic times, complete with a full-on homage to Transformers, some Greek mythology, magic, and a lot of non-biblical gobbledy-gook, including some action scenes unfortunately reminiscent of Waterworld.
I went to see this movie with my husband at a special screening for a local Christian group. The Christian producer addressed the crowd beforehand, mainly to reiterate the disclaimer that the movie was "inspired" by the Bible, though in all honesty the hairs on my neck found him a bit too apologetic. Couldn't any movie make the very same claim?
Like morality in Hollywood, Noah's message knows no bounds and derives a great deal more from the author's own imagination than what is actually found in the Bible.
Kathleen Parker of The Washington Post argues the movie "…does not presume to encourage religious conversion, disrespect a prophet or evangelize a snake, though it does glorify virtue in the highest."
Here is what the film's creators hoped for from their accomplishment: "We want conversation," Aronofsky explained, "because I think there's a lot of nervousness about Hollywood, but this is not a 'Hollywood' movie. This is something that I've been passionate about my entire life. This is something Ari and I spent a decade studying and thinking about and trying to think about a way to bring it to life. There is no, like, agenda of some, you know, people trying to make money off of Bible stories."
Yet the movie stands in defiance of many of those assertions. It is most certainly a "Hollywood" movie, of course. What else is a $130 million dollar action film? The most disingenuous and misleading of the claims is that people will talk about the Bible. They will talk only of the superficial issues they have with the movie, not about anything spiritual or meaningful (much like this article and the myriad others out there either criticizing or lauding its masterful CGI). And dare I even address the director's attempt to persuade us that he did not intend to make money off this film? (What kind of snake-oil salesman would do that?)
The woman to my right enjoyed the film, citing the "something for everyone" quality it had. For spiritual types, there is enough magic to satisfy. For the casually "religious" (the hedge-betters), there is the Creator, referenced and revered by Noah and his family, though cursed by the others. (Is a refusal to name Him God tantamount to ridicule of those who do?) For action lovers, there's violence quite inappropriate for young children. And it certainly has the Mad Max type of science-fiction element. For the vegans, they were well-represented, as Noah eats no meat and "only take(s) what is needed" from the earth. For the carnivores, well, there's the film's main antagonist (of course – that is the way environmentalists quietly condemn "consumers") who devours a lizard, live, head-first.
Yet many in my audience seemed to expect something meatier in the way of spiritual understanding, which was sorely lacking for a film "inspired by" the Bible. Like my grandfather used to say about his canned lobster bisque, "The lobster walked through this but he didn't stay long."
Noah does turn to "The Creator" but doesn't get any answers, until his adopted daughter levels with him during the most powerful but overdue scene in the film. This bit was more frustrating still because the drama that surrounded Noah's misunderstanding of God's will was so melodramatic as to make the audience cringe and even moan. It continued for far too long in the almost two-and-a-half-hour movie, making Noah appear daft, thick, and unheroic, and thereby losing the audience's support. I wonder if that was an egotistic actor's choice or more the director's choice to make the Biblical Noah seem somewhat less-than-human, (i.e. less believable?), but that may be reading too much into it. The powerful antagonist was more compelling as a doubter than Noah by the end of the movie.
The final question someone in our audience asked the producer before they showed the film was this: "With the recent success of God's Not Dead, starring Kevin Sorbo, a low-budget film which just showed a $9.24 million dollar opening weekend, do you think Hollywood will be inspired to make more truly faith-based films?" The producer's answer was telling. With a shake of his head, he said that Hollywood does the one thing well – the blockbuster – and the producers of the faith-based films do theirs well (because they know the Bible), and basically, ne'er the twain shall meet.
I guess that's why, although the Bible was the inspiration for Noah, you'll ne'er meet the Bible in this film. They really should have called it Noah's Wild Ride instead.

The failure of the American auto industry has lots of root causes, but the difference in cost structures and buying incentives between US and foreign auto makers surely has a lot to do with the industry's lack of competitiveness.
Lack of universal health care here means that every car manufactured in this country is saddled with $2100 of health costs that aren't included in European or Japanese cars.
Comparatively low gas prices mean that American consumers have not had the same fuel efficiency incentives buyers in every other country have had. Sure, Toyota was clever about designing and building the Prius. And fully 35% of Prius sales to date have been in Japan alone, a dramatically smaller market than the US. So just how prescient was Toyota? They were designing and building cars that suited their own domestic market.
Human rights and labor requirements are held to much higher (and more costly) standards by US car manufacturers than by their foreign counterparts, so I've been told.
As Congress contemplates a bailout for the auto industry, we should consider correcting the underlying causes. Addressing these would mean the industry has a much higher likelihood for competitive success in the long-term. If we really want a thriving car industry in the country, we need to reduce the burden of health care costs for this industry (and all industries), require the same human rights and labor standards for all cars being sold in this country, and raise the cost of gas in this country so that it more closely mirrors those experienced by European and Japanese consumers, and is more aligned toward our goals of energy independence and CO2 reduction.

polka dot nails! So easy to do & they always look great. I got a new polka dot skirt & I couldn't resist. My skirt is navy with gray dots but I was already wearing Zoya Ray so I just went that instead. I used the lovely Zoya Marley for the dots.

This is my friend Charles. I stayed the night with him in his retro apartment while I was visiting Champaign, IL a few days ago. He gave me his Grandmother's sweatpants to sleep in, let me use his extra toothbrush, and let me splay glitter all over his bedroom and he didn't even care! He's the best and one of my best friends! We first met when I began to sit in on February Dance 2013 rehearsals because I was the costume designer. I made a post about February Dance here! We also started taking an improv dance class together- and loved to be partners for almost every class!
Charles and Luis wearing my costume designs for February Dance 2013 at the University of Illinois Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
He also modeled a bow tie for Paulie Antiques! What a great model he was!
Anyway- thanks for letting me stay in your apartment with you, Charles! It's friends like you that make me LOVE LIFE!!!!!
love, polly

The Last Waltz
To mark the release of Björk's Biophilia, here are the best concert docs - the movies with the best performances - as distinct from best music docs, a list that would include the great Gimme Shelter. (See the Woodstock entry below for more on that.)
1. The Last Waltz (1978)
Martin Scorsese redefined the concert film when he shot The Band's final performance for The Last Waltz, deploying ridiculously overqualified camera operators Michael Chapman (Taxi Driver) and Vilmos Zsigmond (Deliverance) to capture the musicians - not just the Band, but special guests like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, even Neil Diamond - in a state of musical ecstasy. Sure, most of them were doped out of their gourds (Scorsese famously had to employ an optical effect in post-production to obscure a glob of coke dangling from one of Young's nostrils), but that just adds to the intensity of the moment.
2. Stop Making Sense (1984)
Jonathan Demme's concert film captures one of the most fascinating American bands of the 1980s, the Talking Heads, at the peak of their powers. It's also a textbook example of how to shoot a live performance. Working with Blade Runner cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth, Demme reduces the band to its essential components, grouping and regrouping people and instruments around David Byrne until the stage is throbbing with activity. It all comes to a glorious release with that magnificent cover of Al Green's Take Me To The River. If you've seen the movie, you're probably humming it right now.)
3. Woodstock (1970)
Michael Wadleigh captures the three-day concert - a pop-culture milestone - in a monumental three-hour doc that distributors never believed would find an audience. The joke's on them. Sex and drugs feature prominently, but what matters are the performances - footage edited by Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, who netted an Oscar nomination for her work - that cemented the reputations of the Who, Sly and the Family Stone and Jimi Hendrix as live acts and launched the careers of Santana, Sha Na Na, Joe Cocker and others. By comparison, the Mayles Brothers' anti-Woodstock pic Gimme Shelter (1970) - about the Rolling Stones disastrous appearance at Altamont, where an audience member was fatally stabbed - may be the best music doc ever made, but as a concert doc it doesn't quite cut it. Except for a sequence at Madison Square Garden in which Tina Turner fellates her microphone, the performances themselves are forgettable, taking a back seat to the tragedy.
4. Heima (2007)
In Dean DeBlois's chronicle of Sigur Rós's 2006 concert tour through their native Iceland, the band uses its glorious ambient sounds to honour history and the environment. One show doubles as a protest against the construction of a dam devastating the country's ancient rock formations, another includes members of a choir that's had a hundred-year history. As the band performs, Icelanders gather, play - a shot of red kites against a blue sky will blow your mind - and the country's spectacular landscapes change, perfectly synched to the music, thanks to some precision editing. Heima is astonishingly beautiful and definitely not for fans only.
5. Shut Up And Play The Hits (2012)
Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern's documentary, framed around LCD Soundsystem's bittersweet farewell gig at Madison Square Garden, has impressive live footage of the band. It also shines a light on band leader James Murphy, who made some of the most era-defining music of the early 21st century, then calmly pulled the plug at the height of the band's career. Chuck Klosterman, who conducts the interviews, may not be the cultural figure you'd first connect to the band, but he's dogged in refusing to let Murphy dodge touchy questions.

another display logotype. this one is a recreation of the logotype used in the logo for "Triakis" from WipEout.
also, out of curiousity, I am asking fellow fontstructors to leave a comment saying how much time they spend designing typefaces. I feel like I'm cranking these out and should probably spend more time fine-tuning.
also want to thank everyone for their constructive comments & compliments. it is very encouraging to see such talented designers leaving nice comments.
A vaguely Russian-looking font which is used in various media relating to The Boris Barkov Show.
While walking through Glitch Forest, you spot a sudden movement behind the Sprite Trees. It's [EVIL_ANGATONIST]! With a twisted smile, s/he/it converts your words into text written in this font. ZOUNDS! How will you get through summer school now?
This was made to reproduce an amusing glitch found in MIDAS which caused insanely high ratings of 17.3×10^213 (17.3 septuagintillion). The glitch has since been fixed.
A chimera (fusion) made from art deco, barcode, and circuitry elements. It only employs angles where they are needed to differentiate glyphs.
I'm having agrate time here! I can hardly cage my excitement.
This effect font can achieve many looks - riveted plating, segmented displays, spectrograms, grills, cages, formations of vehicles seen from high altitude, jails, and more!
See also:Hardtime
Font made for the logo of a particular project/video game of mine.
Some kerning pairs are imperfect... I can only bring them 10 bricks closer together, so a bit of space remains...
Current Version: 1.9
See also:Dynablaze
I made a blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...
Original size: 7px (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)
Going for an industrial sci-fi look. The hard angles give these letters the appearance of being made by some kind of tape or roller.
This font was originally designed to be uppercase only. So, the lowercase might be considered as an alternate set.
Original size: 24pt (24pt, 48pt, etc. look most crisp when not using antialiasing)
This is a display styled font.
Apocalypse inspired. The design gives off the feeling of sheets of metal almost being bolted together with a twist of having negative space keeping them seperated.
A riveted look or one that resembles light-up signs.
A Stencil font with many upcoming alternate versions.
In this typeface, I have explored the idea of order and systematic design in an urban surrounding. Following the natural lines from the cement of a regular brick wall I have used the repetitive pattern and method to mark the outline to my type face. This font is primarily created for using in titles and headings rather than in a body of text as it is more impacting as well as visually striking and eye catching.
Inspired heavily by dm Solidus (and several other fonts by demonics), and also by Modular Blackout Bold Condensed (now private, but you can see a sample here). More/less rounded alternates can be found in Latin Extended A. As always, suggestions and critiques are welcome. Thanks and enjoy!
(2017: This was another one that barely needed to be touched--the only edit I made was thinning the outer ring of the @ symbol from a full brick to half a brick wide. I'm getting toward the end of my collection of private but completely finished fonts though...)

Gallop Away With Unique Rental Property
Thursday, August 22nd, 2013
on behalf of Bell Ingram
House hunters seeking to escape to the countryside can find peace in a horse lover's paradise tucked away in the foothills of the spectacular Angus Glens.
Auchlishie Farmhouse, situated at the foot of the Angus glens, only a few miles from Kirriemuir, offers horse enthusiasts the chance to reap the benefits of living next door to a first class livery centre as well as providing unique hacking opportunities around its magnificent rural surroundings.
This modern farmhouse is available under a Short Assured Tenancy at £850 per calendar month through Bell Ingram and is conveniently located only a stone's throw away from Auchlishie Livery, a well known eventing and equine facility, making the property ideal for horse owners.
The four bedroom farmhouse is complete with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and beautifully presented interior. Although the property has been renovated to a very high standard, it has still retained many of its traditional features, giving it a warm, homely feel.
Charlotte Gilfillan at Bell Ingram's Forfar office, said: "This has to be a dream property for horse owners, with excellent facilities on the doorstep as well as miles of beautiful quiet countryside to explore.
"People looking to rent property are focusing much more on the location of the property. Auchlishie farmhouse is ideal for those seeking some peace and quiet with excellent views.
"It is not often that you see a property like this up for rent and at such a competitive price per month. Renting is becoming more of a viable option for house hunters these days as not only can it work out as a more affordable option, but it also offers flexibility and removes any of the hassle of property repairs and maintenance.
"The house itself is a perfect example of a fantastic family home, which boasts not only some wonderful traditional features but plenty of well designed space both indoors and outdoors for the whole family to enjoy"
The detached farmhouse is in excellent condition and allows for flexible living that would suit most family requirements.
Current features include four double bedrooms (two en suite), an open plan living/dining room with a traditional wood burning stove and fireplace and a bright conservatory with views looking out over the garden and surrounding countryside. Additionally, the property comprises a kitchen, utility room, office and bathroom.
The house is fully equipped with LPG gas central heating and double glazing throughout. The surrounding garden consists primarily of a large lawn with mature shrubs, trees and flower borders ideal for keen gardeners. There is ample parking space and the property is accessed via a private driveway.
For those with horses, the neighbouring livery yard provides a tailor made service, enabling users to create their own personal service to suit specific requirements. Options include a grass or stable DIY service as well as a fully covered seven day service. Users are also granted access to of all their first class facilities including the indoor and outdoor schools and cross country course.
Moreover, the foothills of the Angus Glens make for a spectacular hacking escape with miles of quiet country roads.
As well as unique horse riding opportunities, the peaceful countryside provides for a vast array of further leisure activities. The Angus Glens are renowned for their beautiful walks and cycle routes and there are many prestigious golf courses in the nearby area including Rosemount and Carnoustie.
Despite the house itself being secluded, the neighbouring towns of Kirriemuir and Forfar provide all basic amenities. For families, primary schools can be found in either Cortachy or Kirriemuir and secondary schooling is available at the renowned Webster's High School in Kirriemuir.
More Information on Auchlishie Farmhouse can be found on the Bell Ingram website or by calling Charlotte Gilfillan on 01307 462516.
Established 112 years ago, Bell Ingram has 130 professional staff across 11 UK offices, including chartered surveyors, estate and forestry managers, architects, green energy specialists and estate agents.

The essays in this volume take on the challenge of explaining the current formation of the relation between sovereignty, law and violence in what is termed 'Democracy's Empire'. "Democracy's Empire" captures the co-appearance of the proliferation of democracy as the political formation that institutes and sustains freedom, equality and emancipation - and along with it, the proliferation of death, destruction and the abject condition of life. A period of history where there was supposed to be some consensus about the legitimate source of authority and the legal structures that would administer such norms has turned out to be a time when war as a sovereign exception has been instituted in an ever increasing number of places.This volume contains a situated discussion of the institution of democracy and related juridico-political problems. From the death of politics in South Africa to the institution of a certain normalisation of death in the 'constitutional' process taking place in Iraq, this thought-provoking volume poses the problem of violence and death at the heart of the institution of democracy.

picture set. There's a couple of really sweet snow scenery shots. I recommend the Canadian Rockies to anyone who enjoys nature.
The downside is that we both managed to get pretty sick right after getting back home -- probably the effect of breathing recycled air on the airplane. Hopefully, this will pass soon, as I'm supposed to go back to work on the 2nd.
For New Years, we're watching a marathon of ST:TNG and eating junk food. How great is that? :)
Happy new year to you all!

Pop culture
Step inside the bylanes of Safdarjung and find yourself in a 'hood not unlike a gritty, pulsating New York borough
A group of rappers in puffy jackets and hoodies are being filmed jumping around in unison against a canvas of eye-popping red and yellow street art; a giant, leering, Avatar-esque woman with purple skin winks out at them. A short distance away, two men, dripping in tattoos and bling, try tricks on their BMX bikes. Oozing a swagger which, on most other Delhi youths, would look like embarrassing parody.
A flight of stairs leads into a teal-walled room where a woman in purple shorts and pigtails with fiery red tips is holding fort amid a group of high school-style rude girls. "Delhi's got its dick sticking out of its pants," she remarks casually. "All these men just standing there salivating as you walk by. I grabbed a guy once and hit him with a brick. I split his forehead open." The only male presence at the table, a brooding man with black plugs stretching out his earlobes, focuses on his sanpiau (a thick, deliciously seasoned rice porridge resembling congee).
I'm at Mizo Diner, a blink-and-you-miss-it spot on the outer edges of Safdarjung Enclave, in the heart of Delhi. Launched last year, the concept of the Diner was to focus on authentic, healthy, home-style cooking with traditional recipes from Mizoram, a state thus far ignored by Delhi's culinary society. But within a few months, the restaurant has become a hangout of sorts for artists and musicians, with a unique atmosphere that extends out to the neighbourhood. Home to a large Northeastern community, the narrow winding lanes of Safdarjung have become a runway show of kids in flashy high tops and New Era caps all sharing a common sense of what it is to "be hip hop". "We wanted to create a different kind of dining experience, something beyond chow mein and fast food, where people can feel a sense of coming home," says David Lalrammawia, the owner of the Diner. Walk into the space and you are confronted with towers of robo-mechanical lettering spray painted against the teal blue wall. "That's by German artist Bond," explains David. "I just put on a Graffiti Jam, and invited some of the local and visiting international artists to come over afterwards and add some flavour to the place." The purple-skinned beauty is by Artez (Serbia); the colourful gypsy woman adorning the outside shutter is by Tanai (Kazakhstan); the whimsical shadow figures are by SamSam (Kolkata).
"The Diner is becoming a hip hop hub of sorts," David reflects. "Graffiti writers come to paint around the neighbourhood, b-boys hang out here, we just had DJ Sarasa visit from Japan - she was making a documentary on hip hop in India for VICE TV." David himself got into graffiti following a childhood love of hip hop culture, and has established himself around Mizoram, Kolkata and Delhi (his work is part of the Shivalik Wall of Fame and the Hauz Khas Village graffiti courtyard), and has been featured in festivals including Goa's Sunburn and Pune's NH7 Weekender.
Mizo cuisine is notably heavy on meat, but for vegetarians there's a wide variety. The veg thali in front of me includes rice, dal, fried potatoes, a bright veggie stir-fry, bai (a warm, comforting stew of green vegetables in lightly salted broth) and tauh (a crunchy-creamy cabbage salad with coriander and peanut highlights). The last is actually a Burmese dish, one of the many influences that made its way across the border and was adapted by the Mizo palate. The woman with the red tips is now delicately attacking grilled chicken breasts. Photographer Vijay Kat?, a regular, calls from the depths of his editing lair across Deer Park to place his favourite delivery order: pork ribs. "What I'm really looking forward to is the (as-yet-unreleased) burger," offers Kat?, "but for now, the pork ribs win."
David isn't the only hip hop entrepreneur in town. Down the block in Safdarjung, adding to the vibe of the graffiti-lined streets, DJ Karma launched his enterprise Mr. Burger soon after Mizo opened. A pioneering hip hop and RnB promoter, Karma introduced smooth beats and sexy grooves to the Delhi scene at a time when parties were entirely oriented around Bollywood and commercial house. When he isn't manning the restaurant, he's spinning at clubs and events. "I was just out gigging for six months in Kiev while my Urbanatic crewmate CJ took over." So what made him open Mr. Burger? "I wanted a burger that was a real burger," he laughs. "It's true. We've got the best buns in town. We've got fresh, juicy lamb patties. Our shakes are thick, made with real ice cream. And I had a lot of friends in the neighbourhood" - his parties attract a largely Northeastern crowd - "so I knew I would have an audience." And surely, glancing around you'll find a full house. Although it's quickly apparent that, just as with Mizo Diner, the cultural impact of dining here isn't limited to the food.

Speed of Light
Just a few weeks ago, it was coverage of the shootings in Orlando. Then Dallas. Those two horrible events have been pushed off the screen, pushed off the front pages by Nice, Turkey, Baton Rouge and the political conventions.
If you want to see writing and journalism at its best, do a YouTube search for David Brinkley's commentary on the night JFK was assassinated. He talked about how quickly things had changed, in just a matter of hours, and how difficult it all was to comprehend. And that was in 1963.
53 years later, the pace has apparently accelerated. We go from tragedy to tragedy with blinding speed.
Sometimes though, I wonder. Are more bad things happening, or are we just learning about them faster?
Looking back, we had the horror of Vietnam in our living rooms on a nightly basis. RFK. MLK. Watergate. Iran hostages. Recessions. Earthquakes. Guyana. Chernobyl. Plane crashes. Space shuttles. Tsunami. 9/11.
I know our attention span has lessened. We do tend to lose interest in things quickly. We still get the initial punch to the gut. The tears flow. We vow to look for solutions. We argue over what those solutions might be.
And, we do it over and over again-- with little time to understand what happened and why.

Oracle has given Essbase administrators several different prebuilt CDFs that can be used anytime they are needed. There are three main locations for prebuilt CDFs: Oracle's Sample Code site, Calculation Manager, and Hyperion Planning.
Oracle Sample Code
Located at (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/samplecode/essbase-sample-522117.html), Oracle's Sample Code site offers eight different downloads containing several CDFs. These downloads contain precompiled JAR files, the necessary MaxL statements to register the CDFs, and usually a sample calculation to show how to use the CDFs. The eight downloads are:
- Financial Functions: Calculates loan maturity, principal and interest payments, and interest rates
- Export Functions: The main function used in this CDF was replaced by the DATAEXPORT Essbase calculator function
- Email Functions: Sends emails during calculations to alert administrators or users
- Date Functions: Includes various functions to work with dates, some are epoch date format and some are YYYYMMDD format
- Data Functions: Allows retrieval of external data from files or the Internet
- Counter Functions: Counts the number of passes through an outline during a calculation for tuning purposes
- Logging Functions: Logs messages to a specified file, replaced by @CalcMgrLog and @CalcMgrLogText functions
- String Functions: Manipulates text fields, many of these functions are also available in @CalcMgr* text functions
Calculation Manager CDFs
Beginning with Calculation Manager 220.127.116.11.502 and up, many prebuilt Custom Defined Functions are automatically deployed to the Essbase server and ready for use. Version 126.96.36.199 of Calculation Manager includes 67 prebuilt functions. Many of these functions are for text and date manipulation. The date functions are primarily for use in Capital Expenditure and Workforce Planning applications using the YYYYMMDD date format, but can be used in any application that stores dates using that format.
In addition to the text and date functions, there are six miscellaneous functions that can be useful in a variety of situations. The six miscellaneous functions are:
- @CalcMgrExecuteEncryptMaxLFile – allows the execution of an encrypted MaxL file.
- @CalcMgrExecuteMaxLScript – streams MaxL code to the Essbase kernel for immediate execution
- @CalcMgrLog – writes messages to a specified text file, can include data from Essbase for validations
- @CalcMgrLogText – writes text-only messages to a specified text file
- @CalcMgrMDXDataCopy – using MDX queries, this function can select a range of data blocks in one application and copy the data to a target application
- @CalcMgrMDXExport – using MDX queries, this function exports data to a file quickly without the ugly formatting of a traditional MDX export
Some of these functions are not properly registered after applying the patch. The errors can be fixed by editing the essfunc.xml file in the %EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\java directory. The following edits need to be made to have all of the CDFs registered properly:
- @CalcMgrGetCurrentDate
- Change getCurrentDate(int) to getCurrentDate()
- @CalcMgrIndexOf
- Change indexOf(String,int) to indexOf(String,String,int)
- Change @CalcMgrIndexOf(text, beginIndex) to @CalcMgrIndexOf(text, searchString, beginIndex)
- @CalcMgrLastIndexOf
- Change lastIndexOf(String,int) to indexOf(String,String,int)
- Change @CalcMgrLastIndexOf(text, beginIndex) to @CalcMgrLastIndexOf(text, searchString, beginIndex)
- @CalcMgrSubstring
- Change substring2(String,int,int) to substring(String,int,int)
- Change @CalcMgrSubstring2(text, startIndex, endIndex) to @CalcMgrSubstring(text, startIndex, endIndex)
- @CalcMgrMDXExport
- Change hyperion.calcmgr.common.cdf to com.hyperion.calcmgr.common.cdf.MDXExport
Hyperion Planning CDFs
Hyperion Planning also comes with several prebuilt CDFs. In version 184.108.40.206, Planning contains 23 CDFs available for use in both Calculation Manager rules and in Essbase calculation scripts. When attempting to use these rules in Calculation Manager, the parameter definitions are not descriptive, as shown in the picture below:
To get a better feel for the parameters for each @Hsp* function, view their definitions in Essbase Administration services as shown below:
Next time we will cover creating our own CDFs from scratch.

At every level, we witness that the EU has an increasing impact on the policies and regulations that condition the development of enterprises and their contribution to the development and social cohesion of Europe. Having a very clear understanding of the EU institutions, how they pass binding legislation and establish a policy agenda is therefore essential to our common action at the EU level.
The training series, which begins with this first handbook and continues with others focusing on specific EU policies, has been designed as a support material for training activities which CECOP has undertaken to impart in its network and area of expertise. More detailed material is provided in the course of the training sessions.
Obviously, the policy areas which this training series focuses on are linked to the specific nature of CECOP as the European confederation of cooperatives and other worker-owned enterprises that are active in the various industrial and service sectors. We will thus examine the various aspects of European enterprise policy, social policy and internal market policy. Yet, this material may also be useful to other cooperative organisations, as well as other organisations and citizens at large, who want to better understand how the EU institutions work and how they can improve their capacity to impact on them.
The handbooks are brief, sharp and clear, and include a list of references for further information and follow up. The purpose of this training initiative is not to purely impart theoretical knowledge, but to explain and clarify the framework in which a European enterprise representative organisation such as CECOP has to work.
This knowledge is essential to the CECOP network: indeed, as should become limpid during the course of this training, the endeavour should involve the network as a whole if it is to have the desired impact.
I very much welcome this training handbook on the institutions of the European Union. To successfully operate in Europe today one needs to know how the EU functions, how decision making processes work and how the institutions interact. It is important not just to know these things "in theory", but also to allow for a "hands-on" approach.
This handbook gives practical tips and will help organisations, employers and workers to find necessary information at the right time and without delay. This is what Europe needs: citizens that get involved and interact with EU institutions in very concrete ways.
I wish all the participants in the training the best of success!
Vladimír Špidla, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (2004-2009).

There still seem to be some bugs in upgrading from 3.10.x to 4.0.1.
Some thing is just going wrong and I'm not sure where the problem lies. Here's how I have gotten around the problem:
First - BACKUP your 3.10.x system, copy the backups to your local PC and make sure you have the Install CD for your existing version in case you need to go back.
Copy new stable repo file to pbx:
- Login as root to PBX.
- cd /etc/yum.repos.d
- wget http://sipxecssw.org/pub/sipXecs/sipxecs-stable-centos.repo
Perform yum update:
- yum update
- reboot
sipXecs won't start up properly. Install sipxsupervisor with yum:
- yum install sipxsupervisor
Restart sipXecs services:
- service sipxecs restart
Login to PBXadministration web console as superadmin.
Perform backup and download configuration / voicemail backups to local PC.
Make sure you know your IP addressing, host name, SIP domain, DNS & DHCP server settings.
Install 4.0.1 fresh from ISO (this will format your hard drive so if you didn't get that backup off the PBX, do it again or you will be SOL).
Restore the 4.0.1 backup to the freshly installed 4.0.1 PBX.
It seems like the long way around to get it done but it works and preserves your configuration. I haven't tried upgrading an HA install yet...

Perhaps President Barack Obama shouldn't close down the Guantánamo Bay detention camp quite so fast it might be useful for all our new Ponzi princes.
Since Bernard Madoff's arrest last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has busted three new Ponzi scams, though none are as spectacular as Madoff's $50 billion whopper. (See pictures of Madoff's demise.)
On Jan. 15 the SEC shut down James Ossie's high-flying currency trading outfit, CRE Capital Corp., based in Atlanta, and charged Ossie with allegedly bilking 120 investors out of $25 million. Not exactly Bernie-level action, but for investors who believed Ossie's "little-risk currency-trading contracts" pitch, it goes down as a dark day for their bank accounts.
A week earlier, on Jan. 8, the SEC came knocking on Joseph Forte's door in Broomall, Pa., for allegedly scamming 80 investors out of $50 million. Forte had been selling false securities in limited partnerships since 1995. Forte's forte, the SEC says, was in reporting consistent annual returns of 18% to 37%. In actuality, the fund's only real consistency was in its losses. On Sept. 30, 2008, Forte said his fund was valued at $150 million, while the actual balance was about $147,000. Whoops! (See the worst business deals of 2008.)
Forte may not have had Madoff's years of experience, but his instincts were dead-on: of the $50 million in investor monies, the SEC says Forte deposited $26 million, withdrew $23 million, took $12 million for himself, and gave the rest to early investors, a formula considered the Ponzi gold standard. Forte did not return phone calls to comment on his case. He appeared in court without a lawyer, according to local reports.
Back in Atlanta, Ossie and his currency-trading outfit also followed the classic Ponzi approach, the SEC alleges. The agency says he was guaranteeing 10% to 20% returns every 30 days, had an accounting firm proving legitimacy, and used the lure of lots of ground-floor investor winnings when CRE went public. It had planned for a $100 million stock offering later this year.
Bill Leonard, an attorney for CRE and Ossie, has said that Ossie "maintains that he acted with good faith at all times and intended to act with integrity for his clients." He said that Ossie and CRE have been "cooperating fully" with the SEC, opening all records for review.
Funny thing is, CRE and Ossie did trade in currencies they were just lousy at it. SEC documents show that in June 2008, CRE shifted $12 million from its Atlanta fund to Deutsche Bank in London. In short order, it lost $8 million in European currency trading. (See pictures of the global financial crisis.)
Wait, there's more.
On Dec. 30 the SEC busted a $23.4 million affinity Ponzi scheme aimed at the Haitian-American community that was operated by George Theodule and his Creative Capital Consortium LLC and Creative Capital Concepts.
Like any good affinity fraud, Theodule allegedly tapped into the trust of his people in this case, Haitian immigrants and used unregistered investment clubs that fly under the SEC radar to make his scam work. The funds were said to be used for new Haitian-American business ventures in the U.S., Haiti and Sierra Leone. He even used the gambit of a fake investment-club regulatory agency he called Smart Investment Management Services LLC to add a measure of security and to tout independent verification. (See the top 10 scandals of 2008.)
The SEC charges that Theodule used the funds to play the market. In total, he lost 97% of all investor funds including $18 million last year alone. In addition, the SEC says, Theodule took $3.8 million for himself and his family. So much for trust. Theodule's lawyer, Charles Pickett Jr., did not comment on the case.
"I'm not sure this is an unusual flow of Ponzis," says Katherine Addelman, SEC regional director in Atlanta. "But since Madoff, there's a lot more coverage. These cases are moving to the front page, and because of it more people are getting skeptical of these investments," she says. "They're more willing now to give information to us." Some Ponzi crooks are either so brazen or stupid, Addelman says, "they even solicit SEC staff members." (See pictures of TIME's Wall Street covers.)
Most Ponzis Addelman sees are unregistered funds, so it's often "too late for us to stop the major damage." In the new SEC case against Ossie, however, "this was ongoing and he was still getting money from investors," she says. "We had to move fast to shut it down." (See pictures of the top 10 scared traders.)
The SEC does not keep statistics on Ponzis, according to John Heine, SEC deputy director of public affairs. "There are too many variations," he says. "It's hard to categorize a Ponzi vs. a pyramid scheme vs. something else."
As for a post-Madoff enforcement on Ponzis, Heine says there's been no official push to go after Ponzi schemers. "We go after them as they come in," he said.
Maybe the new SEC chief, Mary Schapiro, should consider just such a push.
Robert Chew is a former investor with Madoff via a feeder fund. He lives in Colorado.

3 Resources Tips from Someone With Experience


text:
This may seem an unusual topic for a Monday Motivation post but for me it's a way of summing up what I've been thinking and feeling over the weekend.
I started off by feeling Incredibly Low. The hideous events in Nice really haunted me. That is one of my favourite holiday destinations and I have been to promenade parties on the Promenade des Anglais with my children.
It didn't feel like there was much Love left in the world at that point.
Following on from the Nice attack I had to explain to my 12 year old daughter why I may not let her go on a school residential trip to France in the next school year due to my concerns over safety. She wasn't happy but I know that parental love isn't about popularity. It's about doing what you feel is best for your child. It was a struggle to explain this to her though.
If you have read my blog before then you will know that I am an emotional overeater. Bad moods, bad experiences or just generally tough times will usually have sent me reaching for the cakes and biscuits. Even though I felt incredibly low over the weekend, I was able to stop my self from comfort eating. I was in a reflective mood anyway so I took some time to think about what was different this time and why was I able to control my mood.
I came to the conclusion that the difference is how I feel about myself now. I wouldn't go as far as to say I love myself. I still have self esteem and body issues to combat as well as depression. However I can recognise that I am in a different place now compared to the start of the year and I know how far I have managed to come.
Maybe this is the answer for me. Being happier with myself and more content with my choices puts me in a position of strength to deal with the crap that life throws at me and make difficult choices.
Carrie Bradshaw summed it up perfectly in Sex and the City - "The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself."
So love your friends, love your family, love your pets but don't forget to love yourself and don't let anyone ever tell you that you are not worth that!
Here's some of the images that have motivated me today.
Speak to you soon

Alchemist was kind enough to give us a double dose of new music today. For his second release of the day, Alchemist gave Blue sole possession of his instrumentation, resulting in "Cobb."
Blu still has magic with the pen, stringing together alliterative verse to create vibrant pictures. For the instrumental, Alchemist stuck to his most recognizable sound, looping jazz piano over boom bap drums for a slightly off kilter beat that still forces the listener to nod their head.
Be sure to listen to "Palisades" then head over to cop the 45 vinyl if you're feeling this.

All this this hen' up in my cup dry

Two Declining Nudes, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, 2014
Blonde Girl, Deborah Druick
We all know that artists have been interpreting the naked body for as long as art has been produced. Maybe this is because our relationship with our bodies is constant and always open to new and varied interpretation. The infant body, the growing body, the female, the male body, the aging body are all subjects to observe and visually define. Sexuality and gender politics are subjects of discussion and debate wherever you might turn. With popular culture and television presenting programs on cosmetic surgery, the next top models and biggest losers, we are forced to evaluate body image all the time. Obesity is a health issue with a continually growing worldwide population.
Sexualisation of the body and particular body parts, the female breast for example, take us on a different path altogether. The body today is still being politicized with sexual violence in warfare as a means of control and domination.
So it is with a certain skepticism that I read of an exhibition " The Nude in the XX and XXI Century that will be opening at Sotheby's London at the end of this month. How is it possible to make this subject fresh, engaging and different? The Sotheby's website describes the show this way:
" Curated by Jane Neal, The XX and XXI Century comprises work from a selection of artists whose practices engage with the historic iconography of the nude and who use the subject to consider the place of the body within our changing cultural landscape. With the increased intersection of the fine art and fashion worlds visible throughout Western media, the concept of "Body Beautiful" has become something to aspire to – a new icon for our age- but one robbed of religious significance, romantic context, or intellectual import. In reaction to this act of dehumanization artists have focused on The Nude as a ground upon which to project desires and a motif through which they might explore sexuality, gender politics, and the relationship between the body and society. For artists the Nude remains an endless source of inspiration, occupying a unique place in art history as well as our collective conscious.
No religion, no romanticism, no intellectual import: This is the new way of looking at nudity in art. I'm not sure I'm sold, but I look forward to the experience.

Heavy Hitters Hope to Organize 'Internet of Things'
Technology consortia, once all the rage, seemed to fall out of favor in recent years as they acquired an image for moving too slowly. But the Internet of Things demands special treatment.
That buzz phrase refers to connecting essentially everything–from doorknobs to jet engines–to the Internet. So a lot of companies have an interest in making sure products exchange data in standard ways and otherwise work together.
To that end, AT&T, Cisco Systems, General Electric, IBM and Intel on Thursday announced the formation of the Industrial Internet Consortium, a not-for-profit group that will try to help shape fair ground rules and otherwise hasten the trend.

I love eggs and egg salad. I pretty much use the same ingredients that you do to make it except I use celery salt instead of regular salt. I was going to dye eggs with two of my grandsons this year but we didn't get around to it because my life has been crazzzzzy busy.

Have you ever tried a 1/4 tsp regular mustard and the juice of half a lime on your egg salad? I used to eat it the same as you but those two ingredients elevate the taste. I also throw in some chives from the garden when I have them.
Love your blog. Love your pictures.

OUTLANDER star Duncan Lacroix has revealed one of his favourite scenes from Season 1 - but it never aired in the show.
The English actor, who plays Murtagh Fraser in the hit Starz time travel series, tweeted a video to fans of the clip which failed to make the cut in Episode 9 - The Reckoning.
He wrote: "This scene never made the cut but its one of my faves from season 1."
The scene features Murtagh having a deep discussion with his godson Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan .

I just had to share this with you as soon as I got it. Matthew's new blog is just incredible. It's great news for African music lovers and I'm proud that I played some small part in bringing it about. Check it out here.
Dear John,
Hello, I hope this message finds you in good spirits. My name is Matthew Lavoie. I am a music broadcaster and producer for the Africa service of the Voice of America. We broadcast throughout Africa in English, French, Portuguese, Amharic, Tigrigna, Oromo, Hausa, Swahili, Ndebele, Shona, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, and Somali.
I have consulted the discographies of African music that you helped put together for many years, and for the last three months I have been a regular visitor to your Likembe blog. Likembe is one of the most informative and diverse African music blogs I've read. Thanks for all of your efforts!! I especially enjoyed the Daro Mbaye entry, and your recent postings about Somali funk ... great sound files, great videos, and I appreciate the effort you made to talk in detail about particular songs.
Reading Likembe convinced me that blogs can sustain serious discussions of African music. In fact ... I was inspired enough to start a blog of my own to feature recordings from our (the VOA's) African music archives. We have got a collection of over 10,000 audio reels, several thousand lps and 45s, thousands of cassettes and cds. Our collection includes music from every country on the continent and includes rare unreleased recordings that were made for VOA programs (for e.g. unreleased recordings of Fela and the Koola Lobitos, Cardinal Rex Lawson, and many Apala recordings from the mid 1960s - I know you love Nigerian music). Our radio programs, however, are broadcast exclusively in Africa and there are many potentially interested African music lovers who never get to enjoy the recordings we have. I thought a blog might be a nice way to share some of this music. Here is the link...
I am just getting this thing rolling and will add new entries weekly.
I am also hoping that you can help me! The first entry I posted featured the Rwandan musician Bizimungu Dieudonne. I love his music but have not been able to learn much about him. Do you know anything about him? his career? his discography?
Thanks again for all of the great music at Likembe!!

MS SQL 2014 Failover Cluster Steps with Windows 2012 Operating System
a) Minimum three servers required, one will be Active Directory and the other two acting as failover Cluster nodes.
b) Two NICs are required on both the database nodes one for Cluster and other for heartbeat
c) Activate OS license on the Active Directory Server before Active directory is installed as active directory does not allow activating license once it is installed.
d) Apply windows updates on all the three servers. Try keeping the windows updates level same on both the nodes as it can cause some issues while validating the failover cluster
e) 2 LUNS should be assigned on both the Nodes; the LUN with lower size is used as the Quorum Disk automatically by the failover Cluster.
f) Format the LUNs and make it Online only on one Server.
g) Install the failover over Cluster feature from add/remove roles and features on both the nodes
h) Install donet framework 3.5 on both the nodes. Without Dotnet framework 3.5, SQL Installation gives error.
1) Install Active Directory on One Server. Set the Hostname.
2) On the Active Directory Server , In Active Directory Users and Computers , Right Click Computers , New computer, and Create New Computer. View Advanced , Features , Right Click Computers, Security Tab and give administrator create Computer Rights.
3) Rename the NICs on both the database nodes as Public and Private
4) On the two database nodes in Public LAN , For DNS Server , Add the IP of Active Directory Server , Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP , In Private LAN Disable "Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP"
5) On both the Nodes in hosts file add " ACTIVE DIRECTORY HOSTNAME IP ADD of AD "
6) Make both the servers member of domain controllers, reboot both the servers and Active Directory server.
7) ON both the Database Servers Install Failover Cluster Service Role .
8) Login to one DB Server with Administrator user as a member of domain controller , goto failover cluster manager => validate a configuration => Next => Browse => advanced => find now and select DB1 and DB2 => next and run the test with "Run all the tests ( recommended ) option " .
9) Once the test passes, Click create a cluster, Next , Access Point for Administering the Cluster , and set the Virtual hostname and Virtual IP of OS Cluster and complete the cluster wizard . That's it you have completed the OS cluster. Now next you need to install the MSSQL cluster.
10) Run the MSSQL 2014 setup on DB1 node and select the option " New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation" and complete the setup on one node
11) Run the MSSQL 2014 setup on DB2 Node and select the option "Add node to a SQL Server Failover Cluster" and complete the setup on the second node. That's it you have completed MSSQL 2014 failover Cluster setup. Happy Learning

The past two days have been rough, I have been really struggling to sit. Today I only made it through about 6 minutes of my session before I gave up in frustration. I really want to create a meditation habit, but I think I'm so frazzled with work that I can't even seem to calm down enough to sit. Thankfully I have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off of work to unpack and work on relaxing. That's exactly what I intend to do. So I apologize I don't have two days worth of thoughts to share, I've been barely able to keep still for five minutes.
Tag Archives: calm
100 Days of Meditation Day 10: head bobbing
I feel like I haven't really had a break through day of yet. I feel like I'm just sitting in silence for 10-20 minutes at a time. Listening to the guided mediation. I haven't really gotten to the point where I feel like I've made any sort of personal progress with anything.
That all being said. With all the chaos and turmoil I've been experiencing between work and the move and not having time to unpack and organize the apartment… Maybe some small daily silences aren't such a bad thing. I have a nightly meditation to look forward to. At the close of my day I have time to sit down and just clear my head a little. Detach myself from the immediate crazy.
I guess you could say that while I don't see any outward changes, there is a small inner peace that keeps me anchored in a sea of chaos. On top of that its a small bit of time that I'm completely unplugged and that's definitely something I need to work on.
I don't have a lot else on my mind tonight.
Until tomorrow, namaste.

How to Set Up Direct Deposit to Your BankLearn how to get direct deposit and skip an extra trip to the bank.
Direct deposit is highly popular: 82 percent of Americans with access to direct deposit take advantage of the service, according to NACHA, the Electronic Payments Association; 87 percent reported being highly satisfied and 72 percent reported that direct deposit helps them better control their finances.
Convenience is one of the major advantages of direct deposit. Electronic money transfers eliminate the risk of losing a check and don't require the account holder to visit a bank branch to make a transaction. Timing is another one of its appeals because traditional checks might be subject to clearing periods of as long as a week and direct deposit funds are available in as little as a day. So you can save yourself some effort and time, learn how to set up this payment feature and start enjoying the perks of direct deposit.
What Is Direct Deposit?
Direct deposit is a system that moves funds electronically into accounts at banks and other financial institutions. It's an alternative to the traditional method of making deposits into accounts via paper checks, and is commonly used for deposits associated with:
- Paychecks
- Tax refunds
- Government benefits
- Employee expense reimbursements
- Annuities and interest payments
Learn: 20 Ways Direct Deposit Helps You Become Rich
How to Get Direct Deposit Set Up
Although direct deposit setup procedures and requirements can vary slightly depending on your employer and financial institution, signing up for direct deposit usually follows a universal process. Follow these steps to set up direct deposit:
1. Verify your financial institution is an ACH member.
2. Ask your employer if direct deposit is available. If not, tell your company's human resources department that you're interested in direct deposit.
3. Ask your employer for a direct deposit authorization form. Most direct deposit authorization forms ask you to provide:
- Your bank's routing number: The routing number is the nine-digit sequence on the bottom left corner of your checks. On some checks, it might be the middle number, coming after the individual check number at the far left.
- The checking account number: The account number is on the bottom of your check to the right of the routing number. It's the number you use for all transactions. Some banks allow direct deposits to savings accounts or other accounts as well, in which case you'd supply that account number.
- A voided check: Employers might require a voided check to validate your financial information. Write the word "void" in large letters across one check and attach it to your direct deposit authorization form — but don't write over the routing or checking numbers.
- Your bank's address: Provide the address of your bank's local, brick-and-mortar branch.
4. Submit your direct deposit form to your employer and monitor your bank account to ensure your deposits are processed correctly. Some employers allow you to set up direct deposits to multiple accounts — such as directing a portion of your paycheck to your checking account and a portion to your savings account. If you want to set up more than one direct deposit, ask your employer if you need to fill out a separate authorization form for each account or if you can list more than one account on a single form.
Read: Here's the First Thing You Should Do With Every Paycheck
How to Set Up Direct Deposit for Benefits and Other Payments
You'll need to find out the payer's specific process for setting up direct deposit if you want your tax refund, benefits or other payments to be directly deposited into your bank account. If you conduct your transactions with the payer online — such as by e-filing your taxes, for example — you'll most likely be prompted on that payer's website to provide your bank's routing number and your bank account number to receive the direct deposits.
If you're not currently conducting your transactions or business online, call or visit the government office or company that's sending you checks and request a direct deposit authorization form. You might also be able to set up direct deposit through your bank, credit union or other financial institution. The Social Security Administration, for example, allows people who receive benefits to sign up for Social Security direct deposit through their own financial institutions.

How Does Direct Deposit Work?
Direct deposits are any ACH credit payment from a business or government to a consumer, according to NACHA. The ACH network conducts 90 percent of the total value of all monetary transfers between financial institutions — nearly 25 billion transactions for a total of more than $43 trillion annually.
If you sign up for direct deposit, it's likely that ACH will be the network moving the money between your employer or another company and your bank. Major banks — including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase — as well as many credit unions and smaller banks are ACH members, and therefore offer direct deposit. You don't have to be a customer of the same bank as your employer or any other company or government office in order to receive direct deposit, as long as both financial institutions offer the service.
Direct deposit is free to recipients, and many financial institutions waive fees associated with various banking services if you participate in direct deposit. Some banks waive fees associated with their checking accounts if you have money directly deposited into checking each month — this is known as a recurring deposit.

The many benefits of direct deposit make it an option you should consider. In addition to being safe, fast and convenient, direct deposit makes money management easier by reducing instances of overdraft. Direct deposit funds are generally available on the day of the deposit, and when you don't have to wait days for a paper check to be processed, you can more easily manage your incoming and outgoing funds. Moreover, employers generally schedule paychecks to be directly deposited on the business day before a holiday, according to the Electronic Payments Association, so you have faster access to your money.

From TV Guide:
Multiple sources are telling me that Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy next season. An ABC Studios spokesperson confirms that the actor's contract option has not been picked up, but declined further comment.
One insider, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, speculated that the decision was likely due only in part to the T.R. Knight homophobic slur scandal and the subsequent fallout. "There was a pattern of problematic behavior going back before he used the F-word," says my spy. "I imagine [his dismissal] was the result of all of that."
Washington's rep, Howard Bragman, confirmed the news, adding that his client was informed by Grey's executive producer Shonda Rhimes earlier today that he was not being invited back to the show. In a statement, Washington, referencing the iconic line from Network, said, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." (He's kidding... I think.)
Plot-wise, it won't be difficult to explain Washington's absence. In last month's season finale, Burke left Cristina at the altar and moved out of their apartment.
