When investing in HYIP and finding Trusted Hyip Investment, it is necessary to pay attention to the following tips so that the results of the investment in HYIP can be profitable:
1. Advertising
This is one of the most important factors. Each HYIP you advertise will get more members and more money flows than HYIPs that only have one thread in several forums.
Because there are also more people who promote it and tell others to bring more people and investments. And because it has to know new members and new investments is the basis of the HYIP that are more durable.
Advertising can be one of the factors that can make the biggest difference in the success of a HYIP.
2. Reputation
Before investing in any HYIP, it is very important to check reputation and read what other people say. By checking your reputation you can protect yourself from joining a HYIP who does not pay or who has poor customer support or who will definitely fail very quickly because people post bad experiences.
It's also possible that someone has a good idea who is a HYIP admin and depending on what they say about this admin they can increase the number of people who join or actually stop increasing new members.
If a HYIP doesn't have a good reputation because it's too early, you can wait until you hear more about it or just join based on 4 other main factors.
3. Gap between income plans
I've seen a lot of HYIPs that look good from the beginning, but after reviewing their plans more closely, I see that you can really make them too risky.
Some general plans between HYIPs and, generally, involve giving a larger percentage of income to larger investors. This is very common and can really help HYIPs, but be careful to make sure that a higher plan does not pay too much than the lowest plan.
This will prevent you from entering HYIP, which is completely destroyed when the largest investor pair decides to take all their money.
4. HYIP age
You should see the age of a HYIP before investing. Many people will see which program is the most successful and then invest in it just to close it in the next few days.
If the HYIP is too long, your risk can increase considerably. The best way to try to enter HYIP is very high in the first days and to get a lower HYIP in the first days. I avoid specificity because this depends completely on the type of HYIP.
The point is that it is a good idea to join HYIP as soon as you feel comfortable entering. If you are satisfied with all the other factors and it seems that you promise to enter or not.
5. HYIP monitor
Basing your judgment on a HYIP monitor is a very bad idea, but if you combine it with other factors mentioned here, it can help increase your chances of success.
If a HYIP subscribes to at least some monitors, it is a good sign, if you subscribe to many monitors or if you have paid a premium list on the monitor, then that is a better signal. On the contrary, if you do not subscribe to any monitor, you should be a little more attentive.
To be honest, this factor is not too burdensome for investment decisions, but it can help boost one way or another in a Hyip environment.

The Ryan Report: Ryan on the Ones that Get Away
"Yet." That's an important word to me as a police officer – "yet." Without it, the idea that haunts me every night is all the more vicious. Without it, I would be reminded there are people who committed murder out there, right now, who I haven't caught. With it I am reminded that I just haven't caught them yet. That "yet" makes all the difference.
I'm fortunate to work with some of the most talented people in law enforcement today. Our clearance rate is the envy of precincts across the city, but we're not perfect. So every time I bring closure to a family, I save it. Nothing we do will ever bring their loved ones back, but closing that chapter of their life allows them to move on, and start a new one. Every time I see that emotion on a person's face, I save it. It's an emotion you can't call joy, maybe peace, but I take that, and I save it, so I can remember it for the inevitable next time that we won't be able to bring that closure. Yet.
I'm sure you'll all remember the triple killer, 3XK. He escaped justice for so long, and much of that under my watch. Not a day went by that I didn't wonder where he was, what he was doing, what he might do next. And when he struck again this year, it hit me with a particularly sharp breed of failure. As homicide cops, our focus usually lies on the "Serve" part of "Protect and Serve." For the victims, someone, somewhere has already failed to protect them. But when we let a killer slip through our fingers, and kill again, that responsibility lies squarely on us. The responsibility for 3XK falls squarely on us.
What's more is that he's not even the worst of them. No doubt he is psychotic, but he lives in the shadows. I know what to do when I see a devil with horns and a pitchfork. The devil that frightens me comes with a smile and an outstretched hand - the devil that no one even knows they need to fear. That devil is out there. That man is out there. Smiling. Shaking hands. Planning his next deceit.
But then there's that wonderful word, "yet." He's out there. So are far too many guilty people. But they're not out there because we haven't found them. They're out there because we haven't found them yet. Every night, and every day, I remind myself of that, and it makes me work that much harder. This fight isn't over. Not yet.

post-update path changed during karmic upgrade makes the hook a stale link
|Assigned to
|gitosis (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
Binary package hint: gitosis
I started using gitosis in jaunty, and in
which is a fundamental directory (since all gitosis activity is concentrated in what it does when you push a change in configuration), I (automatically) had the link
post-update -> /usr/share/
. Unfortunately, when upgrading to karmic (gitosis 0.2+20080825-15), that file moved to
so the link became stale. This is _very_ unfortunate, since when post-update hook is not run, one can do _nothing_ (in particular I was not able do add a new user), not even enable debug! Moreover, the push of the gitosis-admin repository gives no error, so it is not easy to understand where the problem is (all you get can be for instance a clueless "ERROR:
As far as I can imagine, this will affect _all_ gitosis users upgrading (the first time they happen to make some configuration change). The only way I can interpret the fact that this bug has not been filed is that either gitosis is really not much used, or that not many servers have been upgraded to karmic.
- gitosis path changed in karmic upgrade: post-update hook stale link

I hit this EXACT same bug tonight. And I just happened to have upgraded to 9.10, and then was trying to get a new mysysgit (windows client) to run. So I spent hours thinking it was windows, not that the symlink was bad. By manually fixing the symlink as described, the gitosis.conf file would properly update itself, and the issue went away.

I ran into this tonight. Luckily having had problems with the post-update hook I thought to check it relatively quickly and noticed it was pointing to the wrong location. This fixed it:
go to your gitosis directory
cd repositories/
ln -sf /usr/share/
This is a difficult thing to fix as peoples repositories will be in different locations. Still it's definitely a usability issue, and seemingly an ongoing one.
|Changed in gitosis (Ubuntu):
|New → Confirmed
I upgraded months ago to Karmic. Just confronted with the bug because adding another repo didn't work.

Every uni student should have heard of Indian Temptations – I've heard of some peeps leaving a bit earlier on pubcrawls just to go eat here. Back in the day, it probably wasn't the flashiest place but now they've really revamped from a small takeout shop to, dare I say it, a restaurant.
Puffy, crispy garlic naan bread dipped into the flavour filled curry was delicious.
Garlic Naan ($2.50)
Servings are huge for what you pay for and it is the best Indian food I've had in Adelaide. Prawn malai is my go to curry (my favourite curry from here!) with sauteed prawns in a mild, slightly creamy curry sauce. C choose the lamb vindaloo which was a spicy and tangy dish. Luckily we both liked the dishes we chose better than the other – no food fights here :)
Lamb Vindaloo – A hot and tangy flavoured dish ($11.90)
Prawn Malai – Sautéed prawns in a mild curry sauce ($16.90)
For the super sweet tooth, you need to try their mango lassi. It's kind of like a smooth, thick milkshake with a very sweet mango flavour – yummo.
Mango Lassi ($4)
Definitely a must try for those who haven't been, and for those who have, what are you waiting for – it's time to go again.
Food: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Atmosphere: 2/5 – to be honest, who really cares about the atmosphere when it tastes this good?

It has been some time now that I started to defend injectable vitamin C lack of falsifying evidence around Science Based Medicine.
I have already commented upon its supporting evidence on tetanus, on viral infections and summing up recent use both in double blind RCTs and other ICU intervention, most already commented around here.
I would like to point to Ungar's work as an ignored research example: EXPERIMENTAL TRAUMATIC "SHOCK": FACTORS AFFECTING MORTALITY AND EFFECT OF THERAPEUTIC AGENTS (ASCORBIC ACID AND NUPERCAINE).
Has anyone access to the results of his experiments? If not I will have to pay the 35.95$...
Thank you in advance.

Offshoring is not all success stories as Jan Snoeij of Logica points out - productivity is lower in lower wage countries; container transport costs are skyrocketing, and competition for labor in countries such as China is fierce, to labor costs are up and re-training costs are very high. Hidden costs for management travel, delivery issues, insufficient quality, cultural differences.
To produce in Europe, executives need to involve the plant floor personnel - get them to understand the new direction and what it means for them. Challenges in resources abound: materials & shortages of skilled people - also equipment, since Europe is competing for the latest & greatest with developing economies. Spend money on training people is a key for hidden champions. An important question is whether IT is flexible enough, integrated with the business. So maybe everyone here at the MESA EU conference can work to keep jobs here.

Volvo uses MES to Add to its Reliability
Did you know Volvo Group no longer includes cars, but is 66% trucks and other heavy vehicles (construction, buses, aerospace) and parts? The Volvo Production System - initiated in 2005 was "proudly stolen" concept from TPS. Created VPS Academy central team to build and promote the framework and maintain the momentum, including regular assessments. VPS is then implemented in MES to achieve real-time and global visibility. To drive instructions to employees and make devices do their job, you need high availability, fast MES. And it needs good infrastructure and maintenance. It's always evolving and paperless instructions are hard to get ergonomic - user acceptance and people are still a big issue.
Effectiveness of People is a Key Theme for MESA EU Conference
The SmartFactory demonstration appears to be nearly free of people. However, much of the discussion here has been about how to ensure that people can work effectively. Jan Baan of Cordys talks about the ability to use human intelligence effectively in business processes. Every employee as a decision-maker - what a great vision. Harks back to Grace's empowering message that everyone can be an entrepreneur or intrapreneur. The ability to change a rule the moment before a transaction happens truly enables people to keep the business dynamic. MESA as an organization is also so much about people connecting with each other, learning from each other.

Factories of the Future
Dr. Detlef Zuehlke talked about the Internet enabled everything - SmartHomes, SmartCars, a SmartHospital, and SmartOffice, and SmartFactory showing how to use newer technologies to become more agile. Complexity is a major challenge - but by making devices abstract and communications and power wireless, some of the complexity and sequential planning goes away. Now 22 partners and 10 sponsors have after a few years led to the SmartFactory. The SmartFactory is now fully tested and working for the past 3 weeks - making colored liquid soap. They also perform R&D projects and offer information panels on viz. RFID, wireless, safety & security. Check out the live webcam at: http://www.smartfactory.de/webcam.de.htm - may sometimes be a still picture due to German law. Over 30 companies are involved - so this could be moving into broader application soon!
Great first Day for MESA EU!
I'm about to retire for the night, but a few last thoughts. MESA brings together such a knowledgeable group of people that once you get to the event, you just want to be part of it. I have had several people offer to pitch in on current projects that we've discussed here. The type of enthusiasm we see is infectious - and I'm just delighted to be part of it. Strategic initiatives, Metrics research, and new topics for the conference are all getting more support by the day. Thanks to everyone for coming and contributing!
Over 1/2M Euro/year Savings!
Thales reports that a 90-user MES yielded savings for under 18 months ROI. This was not without challenges - identifying the right mix of skills for configuration and implementation in a core project team was one. Balancing trade-offs between strategic investments and low-risk implementation allowed the 2-month pilot period to lead to roll-out. People are critical - team skills but also ensuring quick operator training.
Inventory Reduction Opportunities Abound
In these tight economic times, surely everyone wants to reduced excess inventory and increase inventory turns for cash-to-cash improvements. However, Gary Goddard of IQS is showing a way to optimize inventory - eliminate excess with an inventory quality ratio. With tools to set targets and play what if, can change safety stock and cycle replenishment times - might improve 50% or more from today's average of 30-45% excess inventory cost on average. Carrier's conservative approach to gaining this visibility and their ability to write custom reports on this type of inventory issue have lead to doubling sales with the same inventory - and increasing inventory turns. Shortages are down by up to 75%.
Setting Manufacturing Footprint Strategy is Continuous
Why lean and offshoring are not enough is the first topic Paul Christodoulou of Cambridge University's Institute for Manufacturing is addressing. Problem is: manufacturing networks are inherited, not designed - M&A and other issues have created them. Can save 30-45% of landed cost by optimizing the manufacturing footprint - can also access growing markets. However, it's not easy to do - moving manufacturing often does not work (skills, supply chain, risk to IP and macroeconomics). What leaders are doing shows variety: some outsource production, some focus there - with or without offshoring. So single approach to footprint strategy from Cambridge from plant thinking to network thinking - simple 4 questions: Why, what, where and how. Working for companies in many industries. Need to check out the Sealed Air example on the web.
Embrace the Power of the Conference
Keynote speaker Grace Boldewijn encourages us all to use this conference to find the missing link - through networking, sharing and listening. Whether entrepreneur or intrapraneur, the keys to excellence are the same. Investing in people and closing the gap between board and operational personnel is part of that. (Builds trust and confidence.) Learn from the current financial crisis - the fight to survive will leave only those who are creative and innovative - to differentiate and think outside the box. Stay #1 by hiring and developing qualified people - invest in excellence, even if it's more expensive than the price-quality ratio. Must be flexible to react to changes - plant intelligence across the enterprise for B2B optimization.
MESA Europe Kicks Off!
John Dyck, MESA Chairman, has introduced the conference underlining pressures on innovation and the ways that manufacturers can innovate more powerfully - tying it into the MESA Strategic Initiatives and the guidebooks that are almost finished now. Wiki format to keep the guidebooks evolving and to enable new strategic initiatives. MESA Europe's second annual conference is getting off to a good start - some very enthusiastic people from manufacturers and solution providers. Information as the next Industrial Revolution is the main theme for John and MESA.

Are you ready to be shocked? Surprised and aghast in the face of casual self-mutilation? Titillated and disgusted all at the same time? Then look no further than a new ad campaign for The Trevor Project.
Last week The Miami Ad School revealed their advertising campaign for the LGBT suicide prevention organization, and it's a series of ads designed to pack a punch. And punch they do. Each image combines suicidal imagery—pills pouring, slit wrists, an empty noose—with commonly used gay slurs. The message is clear: Words have power, words can kill, and some words should not be bandied about lightly lest they dig deeper than intended. The most explicit image in the ad campaign is "dyke" carved into a bloody wrist.
Shockvertising, which "deliberately, rather than inadvertently, startles and offends its audience by violating norms for social values and personal ideals," has long been an accepted tool of the ad trade. I learned that from Mad Men, but also a quick scan the many articles devoted to the topic. A 2003 study from the Journal of Advertising Research found that "shocking content in an advertisement significantly increases attention, benefits memory, and positively influences behavior." It also proved that consumers are more likely to remember shocking advertisements than non-shocking advertisements.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that a majority of PSAs I hear use shock to make a point. I can't listen to Spotify for more than five minutes without hearing tearful accounts of children murdered by texting drivers, or watch MTV without seeing a stoned teenager neglect their ambition/homework/adorable younger sibling in a sob manner. Anti-smoking ads find grotesque new messages every year, and don't even get me started on PETA. It seems like everyone with a public service announcement aims to shock consumers into doing what they want—so why can't the gays get in on that sweet guilt action? Frankly it was only a matter of time before one of us said "enough with the rainbows let's tell these homophobes to step the fuck off." It does get better, but that doesn't mean we should accept or tolerate gay teenagers being mocked and belittled by their peers.
We gays are having a blissful, glorious moment in the pop culture. Never before has being gay been accepted as normal, much less trendy. However it's important if hella depressing to remember that media portrayal and middle american reality are not one in the same.
A recent CDC study showed "LGB youth are 4 times more likely, and questioning youth are 3 times more likely, to attempt suicide as their straight peers… Suicide attempts by LGB youth and questioning youth are 4 to 6 times more likely to result in injury, poisoning, or overdose that requires treatment from a doctor or nurse, compared to their straight peers." And it's not just in our head- it's a reaction to hostile environments. A study from the American Journal Of Public Health demonstrated that "LGB youth who come from highly rejecting families are 8.4 times as likely to have attempted suicide as LGB peers who reported no or low levels of family rejection… Each episode of LGBT victimization, such as physical or verbal harassment or abuse, increases the likelihood of self-harming behavior by 2.5 times on average."
Things are still rough for babygays, particularly in middle and high school when hormones roar and mob mentalities flourish. I must confess, I don't know first hand what it's like to be an out gay teen in America. As a teenager, I didn't know I was a lesbian. All I knew was there was something different about me, something terrible that must never be thought of much less talked about.
So I didn't.
I grew up in a small southern city and attended a high school where interracial dating was rare and frowned up, so gay teenagers literally did not exist. It simply wasn't done. So I'm baffled and in awe of the courage it must take other lesbians, young lesbians far braver than I, who endure bullying and exclusion in order to live truthfully.
The message behind The Trevor Project's new campaign isn't just a sound one, it's a message of vital importance. Words often hurt. Words can kill. People can be violent without ever laying a hand on their victim, simply by using words to make that person turn upon themselves.
My mother once said having children taught her that people are not innately nice; we have to teach them to be. By combining a common slur with a fatal tool, The Miami Ad School managed to visually connect words and violence.
Unlike other anti-gay bullying campaigns, these ads are not aimed at gay youth. They are aimed at the people who might torture them. Children are often cruel, and careless with that cruelty because they have yet to learn that cruelty can have terrible and tangible consequences. Better for them to learn through a shocking picture than a dead body.

Hard to believe that this marks the beginning of my 10th year of blogging! And as I say every year, blogging has literally been life-changing. The people I've met, the experiences I've had, the things that I've learned and shared are all such a part of my life now. Although I've slowed down a bit, and after more than 2,337 posts, I think I am entitled! This is my philosophy for the coming year!
One of the first local posts I wrote was about my friends at Housewerks Salvage. All these years later, it continues to be a treasure trove of amazing pieces. I got a call the other afternoon, telling me that through a series of events, Housewerks had just acquired some pieces from the British Embassy, just 40 miles down the road in Washington, DC. I couldn't wait to see these exceptional pieces, so met up with two of my besties and went down to check them out.
Before we even got inside, there were some great things to see. Housewerks recently deconstructed an old church, and there were plenty of artifacts around the property.
Once we went inside, it was like an Aladdin's cave! We came to see the pieces from the British Embassy, including these weighty iron fire-backs with the insignia of George V, who was king at the time the embassy was constructed in the 1920s.
Here's an image of the piece in situ.
English architect Sir Edwin Landweer Lutyens designed the embassy, and it is the only building he did in America. Sometime during a 20th-century renovation, these pieces were removed, and Housewerks was able to acquire them. Eight fireplace surrounds came to Housewerks in dozens of pieces, and through investigating a series of marks on their reverse, the crew was able to re-assemble them.
The provenance on these pieces is, as is most everything at Housewerks, impeccable.
Here are some of the other fun architectural artifacts I saw at Housewerks.
Marble sink surround with rock crystal legs. Comes with a matching black & white marble sink!
Coffee grinder and brewer in the shape of a COFFEE POT!

Stories of people with broken spirits are threaded throughout the scriptures. Elijah wanted to die (1 Kings 19). The widow with the last of her olive oil (2 Kings 4). Another woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:40-47). Even Jesus wept, asking His Heavenly Father to take the cup He needed to drink from him (Luke 22:39-45).
In each example, turning to God for help made the difference. And it can make the difference for us. Here's a short poll for those who have a favorite go-to scripture to get them through dark times. I know I have my own. But I want to hear yours! If yours isn't listed, share what makes a difference for you.

|Release date : June 20, 2014
|123telugu.com Rating : 2.75/5
|Director : G.S.Rao
|Producer : Sai Medha Ramana, Madhusudan Oruganti
|Music Director : Chinni Charan
|Starring : Sandeep, Sidhartha Varma, Ravi, Harish, Anjana
Yet another small budget film which has hit the screens today is Nenu Na Friends. Directed by G S Rao, this film has all new comers in lead roles. Let's now see how the film is.
The movie is based in a junior college in Hyderabad. Teja, Yadagiri, Rajesh and Srinu are four best friends who keep poking fun at girls and enjoy their life in college.
One fine day, they fall in love with four beautiful girls. As time passes by, each of them find themselves in lots of trouble particularly Teja(Sandeep) and Sandhya( Anjana).
Rest of the story is as to how Teja manages to woo Sandhya back in his life, with the help of his other friends.
Plus Points:-
Even though the star cast are new, they have done a decent job. The male stars look nicely trained and have performed well. The female lead Anjana also does a decent job with her innocent looks.
The so called double meaning comedy also looks good in parts. First half of the movie is quite funny, and moves on a brisk pace. Climax of the film is highly emotional and carries a good message.
The way the youth oriented messages have been shown is pretty good. All the problems showcased, and the way they are solved have also been executed decently.
Minus Points:-
Even though some double meaning dialogues have been executed well, they keep coming in huge numbers and cause some inconvenience to the audience.
Yet another drawback of the film is that it is highly predictable. Even the interval block is not so impressive, and does not cause any impact.
Some of the scenes featuring Teja and Sandhya in the second half have been stretched to the core.
Technical Aspects:-
The songs which come during the first half are pretty good. Camera work is also decent, as the entire set up and scenes have been shown aptly.
Editing of the film is quite average, as some major scenes could have been cut short during the second half. Dialogues written by Paruchuri brothers are superb and connect well to the audience.
Director G S Rao has marginally succeeded in getting some of the portions right for the film. Some youth oriented factors have been handled pretty well by him.
On the whole, Nenu Na Friends belongs to the genre of Maruthi's E Rojullo and Bus Stop. Decent acting by the entire cast and a entertaining first half are some basic plus. But an predictable second half, and over dose of double meaning dialogues spoil the fun most of the times.

text: Neverfeltlikethis 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 First of all hello! I have been visiting this site for a long long time, I can't tell you how much this site has helped me come to terms with my feelings for my cousin, but now it's time I think to share my story and ask for advice, I apologise in advance for the length. So I'm 30, she's 26, I met her 10 years ago when she came to stay (with her siblings my other cousins) in my city and pretty much fell for her there and then. I thought she was the most beautiful person (inside and out) I had ever met and honestly have never met anyone like since. We had an obvious connection from the off, sharing stories and sneaking away from the rest of the family to get high and share stories. I missed her as soon as she left and I think she felt the same as we were in regular contact after she left. Fast forward a few years her father (my uncle) died leaving her (now 18 and pregnant) to look after her 13 and 7 year old siblings and future daughter. This affected me in a way I simply can't describe and subsequently saw me moving to her home town and starting a new life so I could be there to help support her and the rest of the family. (I never told her these were reasons for me moving to her town but she was delighted nether the less). Ever since I've lived here I've spent an incredible amount of quality time with her and her (now 2 children). I've always buried the romantic feelings I've had for her very deep and always strived to be the best cousin/friend I could possibly be. I was relatively happy with this set up as I never really questioned or believed she might have similar feelings for me. I was happy just having her in my life as a cousin (but secretly yearning for so much more). Now 6 months ago, things started to change a little. I went round one day to chill out and she poured her heart out about her relationship with her boyfriend (the father of the children). Turns out she's hated him ever since he cheated on her years ago and can't stand him or get rid of him (he's a relentless character who refuses to hear things he doesn't want to hear or take no for an answer). She told me he's now living away (200 miles away in fact) and that's the only way they can 'work'. Well that's how things were with them and still are. Me and her started getting closer from that day (not physically). We would both make up excuses several times a week for me to go round and sometimes I'd end up staying for weeks at a time. Now what's bothering me is that it's seemed like she's tried her hardest to push her children on me (I actually recently took care of them for 3 days by myself whilst she was a birthing partner for her sister) and have subsequently fallen head over heels in love with them too. (Her brother recently told me in his opinion I have been more of a father to them than their actual dad and the youngest who's just learning to talk keeps calling me daddy) (she never corrects him btw!). I warned her on several occasions that I feel I'm getting to close to the children (I worry about the physiological aspects) and it might be in appropriate. (She always pretended not to hear me). Now fast forward a few more weeks and my feelings for her are growing more and more. I can barley keep it in any more and I think my body language made it fairly obvious. She's started flirting with me a little by then and wearing more and more provocative clothes, even dropping hints like telling me I have very kissable lips, and that my dancing makes her want to run to the bathroom. We stated going on long drives with the kids and playing each other our favourite songs (we both have a very deep profound passion for music and have identical beliefs on the subject). She basically got to me in a way no girl had ever done before. She got into my head, my heart and my soul. I was 99% percent sure she felt the same way now. So I told her one night how I felt (this after she's spent half an hour drawing me a art picture and showing me how's fade colours, informing me as she's draws that 'I must cross the line' 'the lines must be crossed'. It didn't go well. I told her I had feelings for her (quite sheepishly I must say) and she interrupted me and said 'but your my cousin I don't like it, it's weird'. I left absolutely crushed, a day later she's blocked me on all social media and told her sister and brother (my cousins) what had happened who both now think I'm a creep. That was 3 weeks ago and I've had no contact with her since. I'm so lost and confused right now I don't know where to turn or who too. It's got to me so much I've confessed to my parents and friends my feelings for her. Which I'd managed to keep locked up for 10 years. (My parents were surprisingly supportive) (friends not so much!) What do I do! I'm going out of my mind Please help there's so much more to this story I just can't get it all out at once! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desolation : souvenir
My book desolation : souvenir was published in early February by Omnidawn Publishing, and there was a publication event at Moe's Books in Berkeley. The book is available at stores includng Moe's and directly from Omnidawn, Small Press Distribution, and Amazon.com, among others. Thanks very much to Rusty Morrison and Ken Keegan.
Peter Burghardt's video of me reading: (http://vimeo.com/39803278)
Small Press Distribution: www.spdbooks.org.
Here are four pages of the of the 50-page title poem:
the taste of me is you
father is language
mother its meaning
life is a sentence
death is past time
the parents are aged
by the death of their child
but her future is secure
earth speaks trees
each clearing has its thicketmind its maze
her death is their pastime
too short a life to discover
the shadows in a fire
what future did she imagine
no time even
to witness a change of fashion
no logic to the senses
if this can happen
everything will
we'll miss the gods we were
shadows cut from sun
after light trespasses
it stands in the room
death's on death's bed
myth holds a candle
you can feel the end
breathing through the ceiling
earth draws the final line
we're knee-deep in language
must travel to infinity
to see your daughter's eyes
the taste of me is you
the song is called an 'air'
the weight of earth is speaking
the loss of each word massive
dead flowers, living grave
so poorly loved
now dearly understood
our friend of the hours lost
no desert to cross to save you
we were two of you
& you were time aching
so sweet it's almost suffering
the ghost of us is passing
eternity really means it
we'll fiercely live forever
we who still remember
the bee inside a flower
we let the moon run
because it is old
and half underwater
in a dark corner of china
its freshly chopped feet
rolling in the broth
life is all the facts
at the speed of attention
destiny's souvenirs
are inexpensively purchased
a pair of stone scissors
whatever calls out shining
children pretend to die
come to life again, delighted

"No, Ivy, I don't. I don't love them. I'm not going to lie and say I do," Nick tells Ivy in Carre Armstrong Gardner's novel, "All Right Here." Part of the Darling Family series, this four hundred and one pages paperback targets those interested in current day fiction involving foster children, family relationships, and marital problems. With no profanity, sex, or violence, topics of alcohol, bigotry, and infidelity would not be appropriate for immature readers. The end of the book contains acknowledgments, the author's biography, and a dozen discussion questions. In this tome set in Copper Cove, Maine, twenty-seven year old Ivy Darling is married to thirty-two year old Nick Mason. Keeping her maiden name during six years of marriage, she knows a wedge has developed between her husband and her since she is unable to have children. With both sides of their families wanting her to get pregnant, it makes matters worse when she does not get along with Nick's mother or sisters. When a family rents the dilapidated house next door, Ivy is thrilled yet Nick remains cautious as three African-American children from teen to tot are locked out of their home one day. With their mother nowhere to be found, the three kids willingly stay at Ivy and Nick's house, waiting to hear from their parent. In the meantime, Ivy falls in love with fourteen year old DeShuan, nine year old Jada, and Hammer, who is only six. But Nick wants little to do with them. As time passes, DeShuan has to stand up at school being the only black in attendance, while Jada wants to learn the violin and Hammer excels at basketball. Growing closer to those in her charge, Ivy wonders when Nick will realize the damage done in how he treats everyone and how to restore love in the home. While Nick rejects anything to do with a future raising the three, Ivy separates herself from the marriage as his family criticizes her every movement and motive while her family deals with sibling competition. With sporadic prayers to God, the minutia of everyday living, and often backbiting and fighting, this book may be absorbed by readers seeking a story where marriage can survive only if choices and decisions are made willingly. Thanks to Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. for furnishing this complimentary book in exchange for a review based on the reader's honest opinion.
Family, Love, and Drama, So Well Written: This book was hard to put down. The characters were so real that I was rooting for them and hoping they would realize how to relate to each other. The family dynamics made me laugh and cry with empathy. All of the characters were well done, and each of the kids was especially loveable. Even though it seemed dropped in her lap, the situation helped the main character grow and mature, along with her husband. I am very impressed with everyone's reactions to their challenges. The humor was gentle and the story was clean. Milo was a great character. I enjoyed this very much.
With no children of their own, Ivy Darling and her husband, Nick Mason, become foster parents to three neighbor children who were abandoned by their mother. But Nick's refusal to forgive Ivy for their biological childlessness fractures her resolve to hold their marriage together amid the challenges they face as a foster family. As Ivy distances herself from him, possibly forever, Nick discovers the pain of withholding forgiveness and love, and realizes that he must act before it is too late. A compelling start to Gardner's new, sure-to-please Darling family series, this is an honest and delicately navigated novel about the realities faced by foster families, particularly multiracial ones, as well as the issue of forgiveness in marriage. The Christian theme is conveyed through the use of open prayer, church involvement, and biblically based values. Gardner writes with raw insight as she creates a distinct voice for each character to express his or her emotions, which together result in a beautiful journey that is both heartbreaking and hopeful.

Mountain View High School in Orem is performing a stage adaptation I did for them of a James Christensen art storybook called VOYAGE OF THE BASSET. It's playing Thur, Fri, Sat @ 7p (Jan 15, 16, 17) in their auditorium. I did the first draft of the adaptation in Suzan Zeder's class 16 years ago when I was getting my masters at the University of Texas but the rights were tied up with a Hallmark film version at the time. Mountain View was able to get rights to do a "readers theatre" version rather than a fully staged version, but did get rights to use the projections, so the project has been a great experiment for the advanced drama class in creating an experimental, multimedia performance mode.

Newman's Gathering Grimm premieres in the Noorda Theatre at Utah Valley University
July 16, 2013
Uncategorized Young Women Leave a comment
Gathering Grimm is the latest play written by John Dilworth Newman. It had its world premiere at the Noorda Theatre Summer Camp at Utah Valley University in June 2013. The current script calls for a cast of 16 young women and 6 young men, with all characters based on historical individuals involved in the gathering of the original Grimm tales. The play centers on Lottie Grimm, the sister of Jakob and Wilhelm and their three younger brothers. Lottie refuses to help her brothers compile their collection until they acknowledge the source of the tales: middle class schoolgirls. The script includes dramatizations of seven of the Grimm tales and runs about an hour.
You can see a video of a performance of the play at UVU on YouTube by entering the search words, "Gathering Grimm." The playwright is offering the script royalty free to interested schools during the 2013-2014 season.

Signage & Visual Graphics Franchise to Share Co-Brand and Conversion Franchise Programs
FASTSIGNS International Inc.—the worldwide franchisor for more than 550 FASTSIGNS sign, graphics and visual communications centers—will be exhibiting at the Philadelphia National Business Media (NBM) Show.
The show, which will be held September 4-6, 2014 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, is a business-to-business trade show intended to educate attendees on the latest in sign making, digital printing, apparel decorating, engraving, personalization, promotional products and more. FASTSIGNS Executive Vice President, Franchise Support & Development, Mark Jameson, will be at Booth No. 215 to speak with independent business owners about the company's franchise programs.
Our Co-Brand and Conversion programs allow independent business owners to maximize on new channels for growth through wide-format signage and graphics, and—at the same time—take their companies to the next level through increased brand exposure and support from FASTSIGNS," Jameson stated. "Ultimately, these franchise programs help independents attract new customers and drive profit margins. Owners are still in the driver's seat of their business – they just gain our proven systems, 24/7 support from the home office and a network of 550-plus franchise partners they can call on for advice."
Independent business owners can join FASTSIGNS through its Conversion and Co-Brand programs for as little as $10,000 down in addition to reduced royalties. The company also offers the leading brand name in the sign and graphics industry as well as the latest technology, cost savings through relationships with national vendors and suppliers, comprehensive marketing and visual communications solutions and the benefits that come from networking with FASTSIGNS centers nationwide.
Co-Brand franchise partner Dick Helmey, who owns FASTSIGNS of Houston, TX – Midtown South, said, "FASTSIGNS made the whole idea of new product opportunities and new solutions come alive for our current clients. It was also a good fit because it brought a lot of new resources that we really didn't have available to us before…training, research, new product support, operational support."
Due to its resources and open flow of communication, FASTSIGNS consistently receives top ratings for system growth and franchisee satisfaction, including: ranking number one for three consecutive years in the sign and graphics category in the Entrepreneur Magazine annual Franchise 500®, placing as the top sign and graphics franchise by the Franchise Research Institute and earning certification as a 2014 World-Class Franchise by the organization for the eighth consecutive year, and ranking on Franchise Business Review's 2013 FBR 50 list for outstanding franchisee support. In addition to these honors, USA Today, G.I. Jobs magazine and Franchise Business Review have recently recognized FASTSIGNS as one of the top franchises for military veterans.

Three buildings, one typology, each faced with a distinct context. Here's a look at three commercial buildings by Brenac & Gonzalez & Associes, the façade of each unique and aptly contextual…
Each building is adorned by a façade as intriguing as the next. Taking them one at a time:
|'Be open', Paris ©Stefan Tuchila
'Be open', Paris - facade detail ©Stefan Tuchila
An urban poetry of city arteries, railway lines and catenaries forms the backdrop for Be Open on city block A11, Paris. A stand-alone building, the building's skin impresses upon passers-by and passengers on the train, a limitless profile, ever changing with the light and weather.
Three volumetric masses – the commercial spaces, a setback main section and a slightly overhanging attic, rotated and folded, are stacked to create the entire mass of Be Open. All are cladded, a symphony of white enameled aluminum tubes, which highlight the curves and the arabesques of the assembled modules, also giving the building an evanescent character. The envelope becomes a surface of exchanges inspired from the exchanges amongst people and their flow, and protects the body.

Riverside is a skillful merger of a commercial landmark and a domestic-feel facade. Faced with contrasting settings, the ring road to the north and heart of the district to the south, the volume of the office building links the different scales; the smooth transition enhanced by differing treatment of the facades. Uniform textures of a prism façade of modules of anodized aluminum and bright-annealed stainless-steel frames, which mask wooden window frames on the ring road side, give the impression of a large scale, shimmering urban landmark. The powerful identity is further accentuated by the lobby at the building's corner. In contrast, the south-side façade is a series of wood frames and coloured solid areas, further enhanced by superimposed balconies equipped with green trellises.

The renovation of the Quai Quest building, located in Boulogne-Billancourt, saw major restructuring to create a recognizable identity in the changing urban landscape and also to improve its environmental performance. Taking advantage of the site's potential and overcoming the issues of noise, absence of sun breaks and an outmoded architectural image, the new façade system is based on a ventilated double skin of glass on the interior upon which sun-breaks are affixed. A prismatic covering takes advantage of the proximity to the river. With glass panels folded diagonally to reflect the sky and the changing cityscape, the facade plays on the perception, scale, accumulation and transparence, giving a dynamic second life to the edifice.
In each of the projects, environmental efficiency takes precedence. A system of windows offering abundant natural light, and operable frames ensuring natural ventilation ensure low energy consumption. Sun breaks and retractable metal blinds for sun-exposed facades improve building performance.
Brenac & Gonzalez & Associes successfully achieve impressive urban landmarks, dynamic and intriguing in form to fit the most varied contexts.

Ted Turner Statement on Ban Ki-moon Intentions to Run for Second Term as United Nations Secretary-General
Washington, D.C.
June 6, 2011
Alexis Krieg
United Nations Foundation Founder and Chairman Ted Turner released the following statement today in reaction to Ban Ki-moon's announcement that he will seek a second term as Secretary-General of the United Nations.
"We need a leader at the United Nations who can help us solve today's big problems, and Ban Ki-moon has proven he's someone who is committed to seeing the job through and will work tirelessly to get it done right. Now more than ever, the UN must continue to build trust with global leaders around the world, forge partnerships that work, and mobilize people into taking positive action, as it has under Ban.
"I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from the best-of-the-best in business, philanthropy, and global politics, and Ban is a leader who can bring people around the table to get things done. I see Ban's tenure at the UN as a story of challenges that didn't get in the way of progress. One good example is the UN's instrumental role in the fight against polio and the effort to reduce malaria. The UN should be proud of its accomplishments to date, but shouldn't rest until problems like this are solved and these diseases are history.
"Recent polling shows that a majority of Americans consider the UN an organization that is vital to advancing the goals of peace and security. I agree, and know that strong leadership at the UN is key to making this a reality.
"I hope that people everywhere use this time to talk about the Secretary-General's next term and how we can help him achieve his vision for a 21st-century UN that builds a better world for us all."

The killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya last month, and the protests that swept the region afterwards, were an illustration of the profound difficulties the Middle East faces in the phase of its history that followed the Arab Spring. The television shows that started airing last week were in development long before those tragic events, and couldn't have anticipated them, but in a sense, that makes them more forward-looking. A profound sense of anxiety about America's foreign policy in the Middle East is showing up on both network and cable television this fall, on issues ranging from America's relationship with Israel and Iran, to the quality of decision-making in the chain of command, to our ability to project power to prevent genocide.
Showtime's Homeland returned this season with its characters operating in an environment where Israel had bombed Iran's nuclear sites in an effort to prevent that nation from successfully developing an atomic weapon. It's a somewhat more realistic scenario than one in which an American prisoner of war returned to the United States and became close enough to the Vice President of the United States to have a serious shot at assassinating him, and a storyline that could give Carrie Mathison and Saul Berenson work to do even if Nicholas Brody were to be removed as the series' primary antagonist. A strike on Iran may be a nightmare possibility, but it's one that emerges from the region's history and the public imagination rather than the fevered brains occupying a writers' room.
It's also a device that, unlike the drone strike that provided a background for the action of the first season of the show, portrays the United States as more drawn into a conflict than instigating it. We learn about the strike from a news report that doesn't discuss whether the United States supported it, or whether it's caused tensions between the United States and Israel. Future episodes suggest at least some Americans support the attack, or at least want to intervene to clean up the messy aftermath of it. But through the three episodes I've seen, the strike provides an atmosphere of tension more than an actual driver of plot for Homeland's second season. The theme of American complicity and blowback have receded, and I miss the narrative propulsion and moral engagement of the drone strikes debate from the first season.
Homeland's creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon told me when I spoke to them in August that the other frame narrative they'd considered for their show's second season involved Pakistan's growing instability and nuclear weapons. Their decision to go in another direction means they aren't overlapping with Last Resort, about the crew of a nuclear submarine who become enemies of the state when they question orders to launch a nuclear weapon at Pakistan. That chain of events is a less literal thought experiment than Israel's strikes in Homeland, given that nuclear disaster in Pakistan is more likely to result from weapons insecurity or the instigation of a war between India and Pakistan than offensive action by the United States. The show, through its first two episodes, doesn't spend a lot of time dwelling on why whatever conspiratorial cabal gave those orders would want to strike Pakistan. But it's intriguing for a television show to even explore the possibility that the United States government would make decisions that aren't in the best interests of the mental health and high moral standards of its troops. The strike on Pakistan, and the governmental attempt to kill the sailors who questioned the order, are a much more dramatic, less grinding illustration of that principal than our ongoing engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan. I suppose it's more telegenic to tell a story about a group of sailors trying to form a more perfect union on a tropical island than to explore the experiences of soldiers who have lost limbs or experienced combat injuries, though one would think Doonesbury provided a compelling counter-example to that presumption. But there's still something compelling about condensing that gap between soldiers' needs and their government's ability or willingness to fulfill them into a grand tragedy rather than a miserable attrition. Last Resort may not get enough episodes to explore its ideas fully, but the ones it's presenting — including a resurgence of Cold War dynamics in this week's episode — are intriguing, and I wish they were gaining more traction on ABC.
Even a show like Scandal, which has an approach to policy as insubstantial and fizzy as an egg cream, is in on the act. "Are you moving on East Sudan?" Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young), the pregnant wife of President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) asked him in the midst of trying to get him to make decisions about what color to paint their baby's nursery. "The aircraft carriers have been on standby for two weeks. What's the delay, Fitz? Move them off the East Sudan coast. Show some power. Make Kinyazi realize you mean business." The plot line, an echo of the debate over how President Obama should have intervened in the Arab Spring, mostly exists as a way to illustrate the differences between Mellie, who Fitz stays married to for political reasons, and political fixer Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), with whom Fitz had a campaign-trail affair, and who retains the keys to his heart. Mellie is a manipulative shrew, the kind of person who would used the televised revelation of the gender of their baby to push Fitz into a war. "I am just so glad in light of this wonderful news with a baby boy about ot be born into our family that my amazing husband and his administration believe in doing whatever is necessary in East Sudan to protect those mothers and their beautiful children," she gushes in the least plausible segue between subjects in history. "I'm so sorry. My hormones." Olivia, by contrast, is thinking of what Fitz wants, and what's best for him politically. "If he invades, he's going to get his ass kicked by the Democrats," she tells Cyrus, the president's chief of staff.
But even if it's fluff, never to return to Scandal, the episode hit on real anxieties about dictators who commit dreadful human rights abuses. "They're beheading kids," Cyrus tells Olivia, speaking up for humanitarian concerns against Olivia's approach, which prioritizes political optics over any legitimate policy concern. Mellie may be an impossible human being, but her enthusiasm seems real. If a Shonda Rhimes show is taking up American anxiety about the nation's ability to influence dictators who commit gross violations of human rights, the belief that the storyline will resonate is an interesting barometric reading on what the showrunners and writers believe is on their viewers' minds, even if the show doesn't really have time or the inclination to sort through the issues and to reach a conclusion.
We're not far enough into any of these seasons to know if there's a collective sense in Hollywood that America is deeply imperiled at home and abroad, or if they'll end up arguing that American ingenuity and courage will triumph over any circumstances. But whatever they decide, fall television is decidedly ill at ease about America's position in the world, whether its characters are shoring up the homeland or seeking refuge in a world gone mad.

By Mike Fay, NG Explorer-in-Residence
We got up real early to film the sunrise. Instead we got a drizzle and a huge cloud to the eastern horizon. So we had a second cup of cold Nescafe. Yum.
Every beach on Earth picks up trash that comes from afar. It can be from fishing, oil boats and rigs, freighters, or from rivers and other coastlines. This trash can tell you a lot about not only where you are but where the world at large is going.
My impression was that this beach had a lot less trash than the Southern Line Islands, and certainly a lot less than west Africa where on an earlier survey we found over 90,000 1.5 liter water bottles in 90 kilometers of beach and over 100,000 flip flops. Granted that was on the current-side of the Congo River, downstream from Kinshasa, a city of 13 million people with no trash service.
The Trash We Found
We decided to do a 100-meter sample every 500 meters, so about a 20% cover of the beach. It started: 2 foot piece ½ inch poly rope, 3" plastic float, 12" piece of 3/4" PVC pipe, 6" inflatable float, 12" plastic float, long line radio beacon with 12" antenna made in Japan, Japanese jam jar "Superb Food" brand, 4" plastic float, and so on. We got 5-gallon buckets from Los Angeles, wine bottles from Chile, plastic bottles for juice, soda, and water, deodorant dispensers, bleach bottles, an aerosol whip cream bottle, a 5-liter Freon bottle, flip flops, lighters, bottles, tooth brushes, 2-stroke engine bottles, a football helmet, tires off toy trucks (three of those), Smirnoff Vodka, Suntory whiskey, and various sake bottles, a 12-gauge shotgun shell, a glow-stick to attract shrimp, 20-liter jugs used for every liquid known to mankind, and the ubiquitous plastic Coca-Cola bottles in all sizes. No wonder, since the Coca-Cola Company worldwide sells 1.6 billion products per day.
The most common items were fish crates from fishing boats, floats, and rope, so this is largely a boat-origin beach from Asia, mostly Japan, China, and Malaysia. In general the load was very low and old. We only found about 4 or 5 items that were kind of new and a lot of it was so eroded that it was unidentifiable. The prizes were a few more glass floaters. We have more demand for those from our companions on board the ship than we could possibly satisfy.
We finished and took the lagoon route back to camp. We saw a bird struggling out in the water. I fished it out. It was a young petrel and it was covered in the Boerhavia fruits; it could not fly. Five minutes later we found another one. So maybe this was the reason these birds were dying. The only problem with that theory was that when I went back to all the carcasses on the beach, they had no fruits on their wings. So it is something else. The best I could figure is if you are dealing with tens of thousands of birds that we apparently missed, that many dead birds might be normal for chicks that only get fed once or twice a week by parents who venture far out to sea to feed their young.
A Glimpse at the Underwater World
We packed up and got picked up for the trip to Henderson. When we got on board Enric and company showed up and told me to hop on the Zodiac to see the reef they had found. So I was right back on the water, headed for the break on the southwest side of the atoll.
As soon as I jumped into the water I was transported to a world of blues and greens. The bottom must have been down 50 meters but it was absolutely crystal clear and was covered with a manicured garden of giant blue rose corals. I dove down and deeper (almost forgetting that I was not a merman), mesmerized by the life, the beauty, the complete calm. Yellowtails and black jacks and grey and white tipped reef sharks just mulled around us. It was hard getting out and joining the steel behemoth again.
Off we go to Henderson. Later in the evening I found the publication from Rehder and Randall in 1975 who had a picture from 1975 from the end of Acadia Island with piles of dead birds on the high water mark. So clearly this is a long-term situation. I am sure some petrel person will let us know. I have to say I will never ignore petrels again, they are fantastically cool little animals.

Working with the best possible lawyer is a must, whether you are getting divorced, selling your home, or creating your will. However, finding the right lawyer can be a challenge, and these tips should make that process a little easier.
Where to Look
Several resources are widely available, although a good place to start is often by asking friends or family or browsing online listings. Representation may be available if you are a member of the military, and some insurance and umbrella policies offer legal coverage at a discount, as does the AARP and some unions. And if you still need assistance finding a law firm that is licensed to practice in your state, you should contact the American Bar Association.
Work With An Honest Lawyer
Taking advantage of the free initial consultation offered by many law firms gives you a chance to assess the lawyer and the law firm. You may be one of those people that can get an idea of someone's character after talking to them for a few minutes, but if you aren't able to do that, these pointers can help. Of course, you want a lawyer who is honest, approachable, and trustworthy.
You may not want to work with a lawyer who appears shifty or looks away when talking to you; someone who looks you in the eye is more likely to be trustworthy. Ask about award amounts for cases that are similar to yours if your goal is on receiving a settlement. Be wary if a lawyer doesn't point out any of the potential pitfalls or risks associated with your case, and appears overly optimistic.
Online reviews can be helpful here. You don't want your chances of winning your case decreased because your chosen law firm isn't honest, and knowing your lawyers in Penticton are honest can give you much-needed reassurance.
Being Thorough Is Important
Of course, you also want to work with a lawyer who is responsive to phone calls and emails as well as being thorough and detail-oriented. If you have concerns or questions about your case while it's in progress, you may want to call your lawyer and talk to him or her, and you don't want someone who is reluctant or too busy to talk yo you.
Some Other Questions You Should Ask
Case updates – will your lawyer call you with these or will you get them in writing?
Will a paralegal be communicating with you mostly, or will your lawyer still be your main point of contact?
Work With a Lawyer You Can Afford
Always ask about costs at your initial meeting and make sure you understand the fees and costs. It's important to be able to afford to work with your chosen law firm.
To avoid any unwanted surprises about the cost, try to get a contract that clearly details the costs you may incur and also provides an estimate of the overall litigation costs.
A savvy lawyer often incorporates some wiggle room into their cost negotiations, especially when they are working on a percentage basis. However, a lawyer may doubt their own ability if they negotiate the costs down too much.
Work With An Experienced Law Firm
Experience in the relevant area of the law is just as important as having integrity and being trustworthy when it comes to choosing a lawyer.
Many lawyers specialize in specific areas of the law, and it makes sense to use the services of a lawyer with the relevant experience. If your case is a criminal case, you should work with an experienced trial lawyer, while a divorce lawyer is a person to consult if you are getting divorced. And when it comes to estate planning, a law firm with expertise I that area would be your best option. You can damage your chances of winning your case if you use the services of a general practitioner, as they often lack the specific knowledge and experience you need.
The Size Of the Law Firm
Lawyers in a large law firm often are juggling several different responsibilities and may not be able to give you and your case the attention it deserves. You can often enjoy more personalized service from a smaller law firm and the lawyer that represents you may be able to devote more attention and time to you.
However, a larger law firm may have more resources and are better able to research your case. Many larger firms also develop a strong reputation over time, as they can win the majority of their cases, and this reputation can sometimes intimidate an opposing attorney. In the end, it's your decision and deciding on the best layer and law firm to handle your case means evaluating all the factors above and making the most informed decision you can.

A document object that can integrate with Core Data.
- macOS 10.4+
- App
NSPersistent class is a subclass of
NSDocument that is designed to easily integrate into the Core Data framework. It provides methods to access a document-wide
NSManaged object, and provides default implementations of methods to read and write files using the persistence framework. In a persistent document, the undo manager functionality is taken over by managed object context.
Standard document behavior is implemented as follows:
Opening a document invokes
configurewith the new URL, and adds a store of the default type (XML). Objects are loaded from the persistent store on demand through the document's context.
Persistent Store Coordinator(for: of Type: model Configuration: store Options:)
Saving a new document adds a store of the default type with the chosen URL and invokes save: on the context. For an existing document, a save just invokes
save()on the context.
Save As for a new document simply invokes save. For an opened document, it migrates the persistent store to the new URL and invokes
save()on the context.
Revert resets the document's managed object context. Objects are subsequently loaded from the persistent store on demand, as with opening a new document.
By default an
NSPersistent instance creates its own ready-to-use persistence stack including managed object context, persistent object store coordinator and persistent store. There is a one-to-one mapping between the document and the backing object store.
You can customize the architecture of the persistence stack by overriding the methods
NSPersistent and
configure. You might wish to do this, for example, to specify a particular managed object model.
