Adobe Content Server — packaging large files is painful
Ordinarily, working with Adobe Content Server (ACS) is more or less tolerable, but recently we have encountered what may be another indication of the quality of this product.
Packaging an ebook amounts to posting a signed request to the server, describing the file you'd like to ingest.
You can use UploadTestJar (which may have its own issues), or (if you're lucky) you can rewrite some sample codes in your chosen language and use that.
You'd think then, that once you've got it working you can summarily be on your way, forget about ACS and finish your application.
And you can.
Until the OutOfMemoryExceptions start
While test-driving our application, we naturally wanted to describe what happens with different sizes of files, so we tried some large ones. These would fail with errors about being out of heap space, errors like:
21-Apr-2010 13:37:26 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke at com.adobe.adept.servlet.AdeptServlet.doPost(AdeptServlet.java:180) SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet Package threw exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Unknown Source) at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.expandCapacity(Unknown Source) at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.append(Unknown Source) at java.lang.StringBuffer.append(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.adept.xml.XMLAbstractDigestSink.characters(XMLAbstractDigestSink.java:133) at com.adobe.adept.xml.XMLSink.characters(XMLSink.java:261) at com.adobe.adept.xml.XMLFieldReader.characters(XMLFieldReader.java:447) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.characters(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.adept.servlet.AdeptServlet.doPost(AdeptServlet.java:180)
We tried adjusting the available memory for "sags" (as Dan Rough would put it), and this did work to a certain degree, but is not a satisfactory solution.
To me it looks a bit like an attempt to load entire file into memory at once. Surely this can't be right, can it?
Examining AdeptServlet
In an effort to understand the nature of the problem before solving it, we decided to have a look at that servlet. We decompiled it and set about finding that class, and it is:
In the doPost method, there are these lines:
if (paramParsedRequest.data != null) { localObject1 = new PDFPackager(paramParsedRequest.data); } else { localObject1 = new PDFPackager(new File(paramParsedRequest.dataPath)); }
This shows the two methods of loading a PDFPackager.
Examining PDfPackager, we can see the ctor has four overloads including these two:
public PDFPackager(byte[] paramArrayOfByte) throws Exception { this(new ByteBufferByteReader(paramArrayOfByte)); } public PDFPackager(File paramFile) throws Exception { this(new FileInputStream(paramFile)); }
So, it appears the problem may result from usage of the first version.
That paramParsedRequest argument to doPost is of type ParsedRequest, and its data property is a Byte array.
This could be a problem: when submitting a package request with a data node instead of a dataPath node, we're using the byte array overload.
Where is the error actually coming from?
From the stacktrace it looks as though it is coming from whatever is creating the arguments to supply to Package.doPost.
This is the responsibility of Package's supertype: AdeptServlet<RequestParser>. It is this class that is responsible for parsing the http request into one of those ParsedRequest objects, and then supplying that to Package.doPost.
The problems starts here at the top level request handling:
// AdeptServlet<RequestParser>
doPost(HttpServletRequest paramHttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse paramHttpServletResponse)
This is where the request parsing happens, and then — as the stack trace shows — an error ends up resulting from XMLAbstractDigestSink.characters.
XMLAbstractDigestSink.characters attempts to append data to an internal StringBuffer.
This mechanism has not been designed in any kind of scalable manner — buffering files in memory is utterly nuts.
Why not just write the posted data to a temp file and use the other PDFPackager ctor?
The solution
Well, one suggestion is to not post the files at all, but make a slightly different packaging request that supplies a path to a file on disk rather than the file itself.
To do so requires — as described in ContentServer_Technical_Reference.pdf — supplying a dataPath node in your request instead of a data node.
The downside for us is that now we need to manage this shared file location — a non-trivial task when working with Windows services.
Another (unlikely) solution
Modify the application, i.e., AdeptServlet<RequestParser> so it first copies the posted file to disk, and then proceeds as though it received a dataPath request.
Pretty hard without the source — it's probably actually against the law, is it?

Scala — Futures
A future is a placeholder for the return value of an asynchronous operation, it's left to clients to decide when to block and wait for reply value.
It is an alternative to blocking on receive.
For example, the double-bang on Actor causes operation to return a future:
* Sends
msg to this actor and immediately
* returns a future representing the reply value.
def !!(msg: Any): Future[Any] = {
val ftch = new Channel[Any](Actor.self)
send(msg, ftch)
new Future[Any](ftch) {
def apply() =
if (isSet) value.get
else ch.receive {
case any => value = Some(any); any
def isSet = value match {
case None => ch.receiveWithin(0) {
case TIMEOUT => false
case any => value = Some(any); true
case Some(_) => true
Which can then be used to obtain the reply.
The Future class takes an InputChannel as its ctor argument. This channel is monitored to determine the future's completion status.
In this instance, the future by !! is configured with the reply channel as supplied to send. In short, the actor has sent itself a message and specified that the future's channel should be notified when complete. The future then just monitors that channel for the reply.
Note: Actor.send invokes the act method using a Reaction, which spawns threads and runs actors.
Only the actor creating an instance of a Channel may receive from it. This means that the future here must be running on the same thread as the actor that created it.
The send call is instructing the reply to be returned to the channel being monitored by the future.
Why does future block until actor returns value?
This is because it blocks on the channel, waiting for reply:
... def apply() = if (isSet) value.get else ch.receive { case any => value = Some(any); any } ...
and Channel.receive is a ultimately a blocking operation, since it invokes receive on the actor it belongs to:
... def receive[R](f: PartialFunction[Msg, R]): R = { val C = this.asInstanceOf[Channel[Any]] recv.receive { case C ! msg if (f.isDefinedAt(msg.asInstanceOf[Msg])) => f(msg.asInstanceOf[Msg]) } } ...
Note that recv here is the Actor supplied in Channel ctor.
Consider this example:
val aFuture = future[String] { currentThreadId };
Internally, a new actor is created and has its double bang invoked:
def future[T](body: => T): Future[T] = { case object Eval val a = Actor.actor { Actor.react { case Eval => Actor.reply(body) } } a !! (Eval, { case any => any.asInstanceOf[T] }) }
And by examining the apply method above, we know this blocks until a message is received from channel.
Serialization rules for Adobe Content Server
Working with Adobe Content Server can be a truly depressing experience. The recommendation is to use a jar file — UploadTestJar — written by Adobe to perform HTTP RPC operations against the Content Server.
Problem is that UploadTestJar only does uploads, but we need full control, like deletes for example. Porting the java is possible, but it's some of the most poorly written crap I have ever seen, and finding a specification is resisting web search.
Finally we managed to get a description from the support staff which'll be helpful if you're intending to port that awful UploadTestJar mess.
- All adjacent text nodes are collapsed and their leading and trailing whitespace is removed.
- Zero-length text nodes are removed.
- Signature elements in Adept namespace are removed.
- Attributes are sorted first by their namespaces and then by their names; sorting is done byte wise on UTF-8 representations.
- If attributes have no namespace insert a 0 length string (i.e. 2 bytes of 0) for the namespace
- Strings are serialized by writing two-byte length (in big endian order) of the UTF-8 representation and then UTF-8 representation itself
- Long strings (longer than 0x7FFF) are broken into chunks: first as many strings of the maximum length 0x7FFF as needed, then the remaining string. This is done on the byte level, irrespective of the UTF-8 boundary.
- Text nodes (text and CDATA) are serialized by writing TEXT_NODE byte and then text node value.
- Attributes are serialized by writing ATTRIBUTE byte, then attribute namespace (empty string if no namespace), attribute name, and attribute value.
- Elements are serialized by writing BEGIN_ELEMENT byte, then element namespace, element name, all attributes END_ATTRIBUTES byte, all children, END_ELEMENT byte.
This list is in actually the javadocs for the XmlUtil class. Why it's all lumped in there is anybody's guess. The serialization as described above is mostly implemented by one very long method in (1000+ line) XmlUtil.java: Eater.eatNode.
Note: The values of the constants BEGIN_ELEMENT etc are listed in the XMLUtil class.
Why I consider UploadTestJar poorly written
Here are some things I've noticed:
- Nothing reads like a narrative, i.e. , methods call other methods that occur before it in the file — makes files very hard to follow.
- Too many comments. I know this is a java idiom, but it make reading the stuff that matter more difficult
- Idiotic comments: inline comments that state the obvious and are just noise. e.g.:// retrieve HMAC key and run a raw SHA1 HASH on it.
byte[] hmacKeyBytesSHA1 = XMLUtil.SHA1(getHmacKey());
- XMLUtil.java contains several classes
- XMLUtil class does more than one thing:
- Parses XML
- Normalizes XML
- Creates XML documents
- Serializes XML, dates, bytes and strings
- Checks signatures
- Signs XML documents
- Hashes things
- Class UploadTest does everything in ctor: reads a file from disk, validates it, makes some xml, signs it and then posts it to the server.
- UploadTest the main entry point for executable, and it contains all the behaviour — it's 1600 lines long
- Cannot use UploadTest without a real epub file
- UploadTest does too many things:
- Ctor does too many things
- Handles command line input
- Displays help/usage
- Asserts a file on disk has been supplied
- "Makes" content
- makeContent requires a file an epub on disk
- makeContent loads xml
- makeContent assembles xml files
- makeContent hashes things
- makeContent swallows errors and writes to stdout
- "Sends" content via HTTP
- Methods that do too many things, e.g., if/else branches based on the verboseDisplay flag
- Ctor does too many things
Creating a wave robot
Download Eclipse Java EE IDE, and follow the instructions for getting all of the AppEngine plugins. It's important to get these because it simplifies the deployment process to single click.
- Create a new web application project.
- Download all of the Wave Robot Java Client Library jars from here.
- Copy them to your /war/WEB-INF/lib directory.
- Reference them (Alt + Enter > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add JARS…).
If successful, they'll appear in a Referenced Libraries node in Package Explorer.
Edit web.xml
Add an endpoint for Wave to post to:
<servlet> <servlet-name>SearchServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.coriander.wave.sevendigital.servlets.search.SearchServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>SearchServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/_wave/robot/jsonrpc</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
We now have a handler for incoming wave requests. All wave requests will be routed to SearchServlet.
Add capabilities.xml
Registers servlets for wave events, add one to your /war/_wave directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <w:robot xmlns:w="http://wave.google.com/extensions/robots/1.0"> <w:capabilities> <w:capability name="WAVELET_PARTICIPANTS_CHANGED" content="true" /> <w:capability name="BLIP_SUBMITTED" content="true" /> </w:capabilities> <w:version>1</w:version> </w:robot>
Implementing a robot servlet
Very easy, derive from com.google.wave.api.AbstractRobotServlet, which has a single method:
import com.google.wave.api.AbstractRobotServlet; import com.google.wave.api.RobotMessageBundle; public class SearchServlet extends AbstractRobotServlet { @Override public void processEvents(RobotMessageBundle bundle) { } }
There are numerous tutorials around describing what to do next.
Setting robot profile image
This amounts to adding the root /_wave/robot/profile endpoint. There easiest way to do this is to derive a servlet from com.google.wave.api.ProfileServlet, and override any of the methods you choose.
To set the avatar image, override getRobotAvatarUrl:
import com.google.wave.api.ProfileServlet; ... public class Profile extends ProfileServlet { @Override public String getRobotAvatarUrl() { return "http://coriander-7digital.appspot.com/_wave/coriander-7digital.png; } }
And then place your image your /war/_wave directory. There are other useful settings like display name which can also be provided by override. The default content type of ProfileServlet-derive types is application/json.
Don't forget to register the new servlet by updating web.xml.
Very simple, it's all done by the IDE.
Scala introduction — writing an OAuth library
I started out intending to write some scala examples against the twitter API, however I soon discovered I needed OAuth first. Given that I use OAuth all the time at work I figured I could probably do with learning about it first-hand, while learning scala.
I chose to test drive it with JUnit 4.7 and NetBeans.
NetBeans works almost immediately with scala, and has support for project templates etc — even scala JUnit fixtures.
UPDATE (2010-04-27) I have since discovered IntelliJ to be much better, and there is now a free community edition. IntelliJ supports scala without any fiddling around.
JUnit mostly works, though rules don't and neither do some matchers. Even though rules don't work, I have included it anyway because I have the t-shirt.
You can find the project on github.
Important abstractions
- SignatureBaseString.
- Characterized by three ampersand-separated segments: verb, uri, parameters.
- URL Encoding must conform to RFC 3986, and the following characters should are consider unreserved so should not be encoded:
- Signature.
- Signature is a keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).
- Consumer secret required part of HMAC secret key.
- Token secret is optionally included in HMAC secret key:
(consumer_secret, token_secret) => uri_encoded_consumer_secret&[uri_encoded_token_secret]
- OAuthCredential. Represents the secret key(s) used to create the HMAC signature. OAuth requires a consumer credential, and optionally a token credential, representing the end user.
Now that these core concepts are complete, I am working on high-level policy, like classes for generating signed URLs and authorization headers.
JUnit — expecting exceptions in scala
Assuming JUnit 4.x, a test can expect an exception using the test annotation:
@Test(expected=IllegalArgumentException.class) public void ExampleThrowsException(){ throw new IllegalArgumentException(); }
This needs to be modified for scala:
@Test { val expected=classOf[IllegalArgumentException] } def ExampleThrowsException { throw new IllegalArgumentException }
The reason for it is outlined here in the Java annotations section on named parameters.
Here is the documentation for scala annotations. Seealso: the documentation for scala 2.7.3 (includes dbc).
Closures and return
The return statement immediately returns from the current method, even if you're within a closure. Omit return in this case — return is optional anyway.
When to use semicolon line terminator
Never — apart from:
- When a method returns Unit (equivalent to void) and you aren't using return keyword. [TBD: Add example].
How to use blocks
var count = 1
times(2) { println("Printed " + count + " times")}
protected def times(count : Int)(block : => Unit) = {
1.to(count).foreach((_) => block)

Last week took place a 1-week OpenLayers code sprint in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, with 6 participants from Camptocamp, Boundless Geo and Planet Labs.
Mainly funded by Swisstopo, this code sprint was aimed at generally improving the rendering performances of OpenLayers, and more specifically for vector tiles rendering.
Vector tiles support has been in OpenLayers for around 3 years, including Mapbox tile and style formats, and has been receiving regular improvements since then. Still, for all the benefits they bring, vector tiles are often large chunks of data which take a long time to process and render in an interactive map.
The perspective of releasing version 6 of OpenLayers and making backwards-incompatible changes to the library allowed for a lot of freedom in reworking the code base in depth. This is exactly what happened during the week, as several major changes were merged into the master branch.
Replacement of the previous Canvas2D map renderer with a composition system using DOM elements
The use of DOM elements for composition was already there in previous versions of OL; now that most browsers offer very good performance when compositing images, this solution was reintroduced as the default one, bringing much more flexibility to layer types.
One example of this is using the Mapbox GL JS library for a layer on an OpenLayers map.
Preparation work to anticipate the use of Web Workers in vector tiles rendering
Web Workers is a widely supported standard that allows multi-thread processing in a web browser. This is commonly used for intensive tasks, which are common in vector tiles rendering.
Most of the Replay Group system (objects used for drawing shapes on screen) has been refactored to be usable partly in Web Workers. This has been a significant task which is still ongoing.
Many optimizations regarding vector tile rendering
A benchmarking system was also put into place alongside, which helped monitor the improvements made on the rendering side and general user experience. The benchmarks produce two output values for each scenario: average frame time and max frame time (computed over many iterations). At the end of the codesprint, the improvement on the average frame time was around 20% with many optimizations still left to carry out.
The legacy WebGL renderers which have been part of OpenLayers since version 3 have been removed (this includes raster tiles, image layers, vector layers)
This decision was the logical follow-up of a few simple observations:
- The WebGL renderers have not received enough attention and maintenance over the years to be fully production-ready, at least not all of them
- Keeping them up-to-date with the recent overhaul of the rendering system would have a considerable cost
- Most of the time their performances are on par with the Canvas2D renderers, if not worse
However, this was not just about removing things. WebGL rendering can be relevant for some edge cases, such as rendering millions of points, displaying special effects, post-processing, etc.
As such, some of the existing WebGL code was reworked to offer a lower level toolkit for using WebGL on custom layer types. This was used to rewrite the already existing Heatmap layer, offering better performances and user experience overall.
The work initiated during the code sprint will continue in the months to come: expect more blog posts from Camptocamp on this topic!
Many thanks to everyone involved in organizing and funding this event, and to those who keep making OpenLayers a great web mapping library, years after years. The future is promising and we cannot wait to be there already!

Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Spanish Government Announce $150M For Health Projects In Central America, Mexico
Bill Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Carlos Slim, the "Mexican telecom magnate" and founder of the Carlos Slim Institute, announced Monday that they would work with Spain on a $150 million health initiative for people in Central America and Mexico, Agence France-Presse reports.
"Funds for the '2015 Meso-American Health Initiative' will be shared equally by the three contributors and will go over the next five years to improve maternal health, nutrition, vaccination, anti-dengue and anti-malaria campaigns in the region," the news service writes (6/14).
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama will receive funding, BBC reports (6/15). According to Reuters, the program "will target indigenous communities – particularly women and children." Reuters adds that the Inter-American Development Bank and local governments will oversee the initiative (Diaz/Rucker, 6/14).

CT Libertarian Party faithful Harold Harris's take on the recent legislation regarding the crumbling foundations in CT
I have a great deal of sympathy for the home owners and business that have been confronted with the extremely high cost of repairing their crumbling foundations. I am also sympathetic to the citizens of Connecticut that face the ever increasing cost of home ownership.
The legislation that adds a $12 surcharge on homeowner's insurance police provides assistance to some home owners at the expense of others. In addition it adds to the administrative cost of the insurance companies and the government. The bill itself illustrates the long term unintended consequences of this approach to the problem. It adds other home owner woes to be covered by the surcharge, sinking foundations in New Haven and lead and radon abatement. We can expect the list to grow. We can also expect the surcharge to increase. We are not creating a solution, we are creating a problem.
A voluntary contribution process would be better. It could be a check off on the income tax similar to what already exists. This voluntary system would be self correcting. If the money is misused or extended beyond reasonable limits, people can stop their generosity. Freedom of choice is always preferred to open ended mandates.
Harold Harris

We moved our clocks forward over the weekend, so we can now officially start to celebrate spring. How about cracking open a nice bottle of Pinot Noir Rosé? I found one made by Hahn Family Wines for about $15 on sale in a local supermarket, and it's delightful.
Although light and refreshing, there's nothing wimpy about this Rosé. It's bursting with flavors of strawberry, citrus and raspberry, and its crisp finish almost transports one to a sunny Greek isle. Also, this 2016 Rosé comes with a screw cap, so it's perfect to take on a picnic—just in case you forget the corkscrew!
The Hahn estate is a big operation. They own and farm two vineyards in the esteemed Arroyo Seco viticultural area (AVA) of Monterey County, and four estate vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Since 1980, the Hahn family has produced fine wines with a goal of showcasing the unique varietal characteristics of the region.
Hahn has a tasting room in the newly revamped Carmel Plaza on Ocean Avenue, now a happening place to go for restaurants, gourmet shops, coffee, and wine tasting.
You can also visit the Hahn estate at 37700 Foothill Rd., Soledad. 678-4555, hahnwines.com.

Despite the huge advantages that containers offer in application portability, acceleration of CI/CD pipelines and agility of deployment environments, the biggest concern has always been about isolation. Since all the containers running on a host share the same underlying kernel, any malicious code breaking out of a container can compromise the entire host, and hence all the applications running on the host and potentially in the cluster.
That fear of container isolation failing to hold up turned out to be true yesterday when a vulnerability in runC was announced. runC is the key and most popular software component that most container engines rely on for spinning up containers on a host. The announced vulnerability allows an attacker to break out of the container isolation through a well-crafted attack (technical details of the vulnerability and the exploit are at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2019/q1/119) and compromise the entire host. The vulnerability is particularly nasty because it is not covered by the default AppArmor or SELinux kernel-enforced sandboxing policies.
What can you do to protect your containerized applications?
Even though the exploit is tricky to execute, the exploit code will be released publicly on February 18, so it's best to protect your container environment by doing the following:
- Know which nodes (Docker hosts) you are running the containers, and if you are running a vulnerable version of Docker Engine. If you are a Qualys customer, you can use AssetView to get that information. Docker has released the patch in version 18.09.2.
- Upgrade your Docker hosts to version 18.09.2.
- For hosts managed by public cloud service providers, please keep a close watch on how they are addressing the issue.
GCP – https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/security-bulletins
AWS – https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/AWS-2019-002/
- Qualys is working on releasing the following detections (QIDs), and more vendor-specific QIDs will be launched in the coming days.
237121 : Red Hat Update for docker (RHSA-2019:0304)
237120 : Red Hat Update for runc (RHSA-2019:0303)
351500 : Amazon Linux Security Advisory for docker: ALAS-2019-1156
371641 : Runc Container Breakout Vulnerability
You can get more details at Qualys Threat Protection.
What to do in the future?
It's good to be concerned about any new technology while it matures, but it's equally important to harden the application build and deployment workflows in order to prevent the attacker from getting an easy lead into exploiting the deployed containers.
- Ensure that only those container images that have gone through the defined compliance checks (related to vulnerabilities, packages, etc.) are deployed in production. As an example, you can use the Qualys Container Security solution to promote only those built images that pass the compliance checks on the build nodes.
- Privileged containers, if compromised, can bring down the entire container cluster. Hence, keep a close watch on all privileged containers running in your environment.

Sydney YoungbloodSydney Youngblood (born Sydney Ford on December 2, 1960 in San Antonio, Texas) is an American-born German singer who had several successful dance/funk hits during the late 1980's and early 1990's.He had four top 40 hits in the UK and Europe in 1988 and 1989 including "Sit And Wait", "Id Rather Go Blind" and his debut "If Only I Could". "If Only I Could" used the bassline and drumbeat from the Raze house music classic "Break For Love" and reached number three on the charts - a position that would have been higher if not for the outstanding success of the then-current number one...

Last Sunday I reviewed some aspects of the "Sustainable Nation" forum that was hosted by Caroni Central MP Dr Bhoendradatt Tewarie at the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business on August 9 instant. This week, I will examine some excerpts of Tewarie's speech at the forum.
He placed significant emphasis on the issue of crime and criminality which is best captured in the following excerpt: "How many developing countries have been able to come back from the abyss of intensely escalating crime? Crime has become a criminal industry here. Criminals, it is said, collaborate with other legal business entities and the word on the ground is that they are strengthened by police protection and shielded by political alliances. This is part of the talk of the town, but not part of mainstream discussion and no action detectable in response to such talk."
This line of argument is perhaps entering the organised zone of the crime discourse by pointing to powerful elements who may be involved in these activities. If this is so, then Tewarie is going where some in the political world fear to tread.
Later in the speech, he offered these solutions:
(i) "Executions need to be actioned against convicted murderers."
(ii) "There has to be consistent, persistent action on lockdown of hotspots, community policing with effective presence and backup capability and reducing targets for crime for each station properly resourced. Safe zones have to be identified and supported. Key intersections across the country have to be monitored with effective communication among deployed police as well as to home base."
He also tackled a current economic problem by pointing to past survival when he said this:
"We have lived on a $9 per barrel revenue stream from oil before, not so? Energy companies are learning now to manage on a 50-dollar price per barrel, not so? So what really is our problem? Why so much moaning and groaning and lack of direction?"
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has spoken in recent times of Petrotrin being a "ward of the state." The Basdeo Panday administration had to manage a US$9 price for oil and they survived. His rhetorical questions do provide us with some food for thought.
In a part of the speech that represented the first major ideological statement by a sitting parliamentarian that a departure from current economic practice was required because that was the cause of our current predicament, he said this: "A statist, Fabian socialist approach, has got us to where we are currently, but it is no longer tenable to continue. We need to make a break from this that will get us to sustainability as an economy and as a nation."
This is a serious political challenge to the philosophy of Dr Eric Williams as laid out in the Chaguaramas Declaration 1970 that established the 51 per cent argument for state control of the economy. That was perhaps the boldest part of the speech.
In seeking to put some context on budgetary and revenue measures, Tewarie opined thus: "I think that we have reached the point where we have to budget at 45 billion dollars in expenditure and raise the revenue to support that. New income from new oil and gas finds beyond 45 billion in revenue should be used for development projects or put in savings to repay debt."
He offered a strategy to get out of the current recession in the following terms: "We must use construction to get out of the recession—housing construction and infrastructure projects are the key. We need to facilitate public/private partnerships in these areas as well to add private investment to government funding. Confidence has been lost. It has to be rebuilt with clarity of direction and clear identification of priorities."
The case for involvement of the private sector in development was clearly made here and he went on to tackle diversification in these terms: "Diversification has traditionally meant diversification of our production base as well as our markets. And that remains true. But diversification today means, as well, the choice of technology and where industries are located on the technological value chain. Diversification now means absorbing the skilled and strengthening intellectual capital formation for application of knowledge and ideas, creativity, innovation and human imagination so that competitiveness is enhanced."
This view of diversification broadens the debate beyond what has been repeated over and over with no action at all for decades.
Towards the end of the speech, he said this: "We need to focus on issues not personalities, on ideas not controversies, on the future we want to create for our children and grandchildren, not the next election. On solutions not just problems."
This outlook is broader than what some small minds in a small society may want to hear. His greatest challenge will lie in the political process itself which rotates around two main parties with large voter banks.
His injection of some kind of reflective philosophical discourse into the political arena will be welcomed in some quarters and suspiciously viewed in others.

Now's your chance to get an exclusive 50% off on all Ferdinand merchandise at La Feria de Junio!
La Feria de Junio is a premier one-day event organized by Jonathan Apilado and Sindy Leoncio, at the Filipinas Heritage Library, Ayala Triangle in Makati on Friday, June 15th. It's packed to the gills with a bunch of cool, unique items you can only find there, and a portion of all their profit goes to support Ferdinand! We'll also have a booth, and as an email subscriber, you can get any of our goods at the generously discounted price of only 299php! That's half off! All you need to do to qualify for the discount is give us your email address so we can make sure you're signed up for our newsletter. We won't use your email address for any nefarious purposes.
Check out that poster above. That was designed by one of our first one-on-one students, John Rey Canonio. I couldn't be prouder. But we'd like to be able to teach many, many more artists, so all profits earned at the Ferdinand booth will go towards the construction of a school where we can teach full classrooms of students.
Hope to see you there!
We're making big changes to our online store today. Our t-shirts are no longer priced at $29 USD (1,255 PHP), but at less than half that at only 599 PHP!
Notice I didn't include a USD amount in the second price. In order to keep our prices low for the majority of our supporters, we're only including shipping within the Philippines.
But we'll still happily ship you our goods! Email firstname.lastname@example.com for our current international shipping rates, and to arrange your order!
When I was in the third grade in Alaska, I wanted to be a world famous cruise ship designer by day, and a taxi driver by night. I would lie in my bunk bed drawing elaborate floor plans for imaginary cruise ships. Cruise ships with three-story libraries in them. Cruise ships with large chimney standpipes à la Titanic, and cruise ships with large riverboat paddle wheels on the back. On nights I was feeling extra ambitious, I'd craft up a Frankenship with both chimney standpipes and paddle wheels, practicality be damned.
And I thought that by now, surely, taxi cabs would be able to fly.
But here I am, turning 29 this month, a graphic designer by trade. I no longer live in Alaska; I now call the Philippines my home. So what happened?
In cruise ship parlance, it's called…

José Rizal, noted Filipino linguist, novelist, poet, scientist, doctor, painter, educator, reformer and visionary thought leader, turns 150 years old today. One of the t-shirts in our new shop, designed by Filipino artist Dan Matutina (interviewed here), was inspired by Rizal's quote, "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, ay higit pang amoy sa mabahong isda." (Translation: "He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish.") Why not help us get our Center built by purchasing it?
Check out the shirt after the break, and read an English translation of Rizal's final poem, Mi Ultimo Adios (My Last Farewell).

It's my great pleasure to announce the launch of our online store! Currently we've got t-shirts up for sale, all lovingly designed and hand silkscreened in the Philippines. This has been a much greater undertaking than I originally imagined. Shipping products from the Philippines to other countries is more expensive than we'd like, but we've worked out a solution so that you can get our products at a reasonable price with the cost of shipping included. I'll say that again: free international shipping on all items in the store!
To celebrate the launch of our online store, we created a little video with the help of some of our supporters and future students. Check it out, and then head to our store and buy some merch!
All proceeds will go towards the construction of our Center, to help artists who can't afford college, and to feed and educate street children.

Kristy Anne Ligones, also known as KDLIG, is a master of vectors. When I first came upon her work, it was hard to believe that she didn't just run her photos through an automatic vector tool. Except they were too good to have been created by a machine, too much care had been put into crafting portraits that accurately captured the personality of the subject. We're pleased she took the time to answer some of our questions.
You're originally from Cagayan de Oro, right? What were some of your favorite things about CDO?
Yup, CDO is my hometown. My favorite things would be the simplicity of the place; not that much garbage or traffic, and not too crowded either, unlike the giant cities. Though I consider Cebu as my second home and the city I love the most, CDO is still my comfort zone.
Happy Holidays! Starting today, until the end of January, we're running a very special deal. If you donate $100 or more, you'll get your name (or someone's name of your choosing) on a wall of our finished building in 3D letters for everyone to see! That's a savings of $150, but it's for a limited time only. This is the perfect gift for the person in your life who has everything, or if you're that person, it's the perfect last-minute gift recommendation to ask for from family and friends.
If you're like 99% of our supporters, you (a) realize the importance of what we're doing, and (b) haven't donated yet. Well, now's the perfect time. You might think, this project is great, but enough other people will support it that it'll launch without my help. But that's what the others are thinking as well, and I'm here to tell you, without your help, it's not possible. So please, donate today and you'll help countless creative Filipinos achieve their dreams, get jobs, and escape poverty. You'll also be helping homeless children living on the street get an education and a good meal. We can't do it without your help.
I post here far too seldom, but I had planned a happy, funny post for today.
This isn't that post.
I just heard that Alwyn, our head of Kalye Ferdinand—our street child outreach program—died last night. Alwyn wasn't just the head of Kalye Ferdinand—he was Kalye Ferdinand, through and through. And Kalye Ferdinand was him.
You may remember a previous post about Alwyn, when he first celebrated his birthday by throwing a party at Jollibee for children living on the streets.
Nothing made him happier than making street children happy. His whole life he had been poor, scraping by and trying to survive, so his heart was with the poor. Street children weren't looked down upon by him, he didn't serve up morality lessons or lecture them. They weren't his subjects. They were his equals. And they loved him like nobody else. When Alwyn walked down the street, crowds of children would flock to him like he was a pop sensation. They idolized him.
Yesterday, I got an email from Alwyn, and in the deluge of messages that fill my inbox, I deemed it least important and didn't reply to it in time. Sometime late last night, he was stabbed on the street in an apparent hold up.
God, I should have sent that email.
I can't state how greatly I miss Alwyn. And I know he's equally missed by every life he's touched. All further progress by Kalye Ferdinand will be dedicated to the memory and honor of Alwyn V. Cortez.
I had the good fortune to be interviewed by the incredibly astute Niña Terol-Zialcita for ProPinoy. Her questions were great, and I'm proud of how the interview went. In fact, I think this interview may perhaps describe what Ferdinand is all about even better than our own website does.
Check it out to find out our views on education, the importance of design, and more!
Remember, you can help this project get off the ground by making a donation!
Months ago, we didn't reach our goal on our Kickstarter fundraising campaign. It goes without saying that we want to succeed from here on out, but we realized something: we don't know nearly enough about our supporters. What makes you guys tick? What do you want from us? What issues are important to you, and how can we become the kind of organization you find worth supporting?
Please fill out our survey, so we can know more about you. Our supporters are our most cherished asset—you guys rock—and we want to get to know you better. It's only ten questions long, but it'll help us a lot.

Varsities urged to comply with NUC guidelines
The Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, (NUC), Prof Julius Okojie has called on Senates of Nigerian universities to ensure adequate compliance with all guidelines from NUC for the establishment of programmes and the establishment of department.
He said the days of running programmes in unapproved centres without qualified academics are gone.
"Departments and programmes should not be mounted as a means of creating empires for ourselves in the system. I have always warned my colleagues in the university that if we cannot regulate ourselves then we will leave our Senate to be regulated by politicians," he added.
Delivering the 18th convocation lecture of the Lagos State University (LASU) entitled: Quality Assurance and the Challenges of Mandate Delivery in Nigerian Universities, Okojie said some of the challenges affecting the delivery of quality mandate in Nigeria include funding, which affects the quality of teaching, learning and research facilities. He said the quantity and quality of learning resources to be provided to make a conducive environment is dependent of the volume of financial resource made available to the institution.
Represented by Prof Adebisi Balogun, former VC of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Okojie said other problems are dilapidated physical infrastructure, inadequate manpower, student enrolment and access, leadership and governance.
Defining quality assurance as the policies, systems, strategies and resources used by the institution to certify that its quality requirement and standards are being met, he said the job of a QA agency is to see that standards processes and policies are in place and carried out.
Saying that some universities have developed their master plan and strategic plan with identified goals and action plan for 25 years, he asked if LASU has one.
For efficient service delivery, he said the NUC encourages universities to have a SERVICOM unit, continually develop a system that seeks to improve the provision of service with emphasis on future results, develop statistical tools to understand sub-systems, uncover problems and identify processes for further improvement, and set goals for the measurement of results that will prevent future failures.

Weak macro data from Europe and China are causing concern about the future demand for industrial metal. Fundamentally, the situation in the steel sector seems to remain relatively poor in most regions for now, though encouraging economic outlook and shortages on base metals markets mean positive price projections
Weak macro data from Europe and China depressing the mood on the metal markets
The uncertainties surrounding the demand for metals have increased during Q2 and Q3 of 2014. Despite the recovering US economy, concerns have increased about economic development in China and Europe. Nevertheless, ABN AMRO expects that the Chinese government will take whatever steps are necessary to realise its growth targets for this year. Growth also slowed down in Europe, in part owing to the crisis in Ukraine and the mild weather in the year's first quarter. Industrial production also fell short of expectations, owing to a drop in external demand. In spite of these factors, though, the fundamental economic situation appears to indicate that Europe will achieve a modest recovery this year. A stronger global economy and the falling euro should boost growth in the industrial sector in the eurozone during the coming months. This scenario will carry over favourably to the metal markets.
Prices of steel and copper under pressure since early 2014
Price movements in the steel sector have not been encouraging so far this year. With demand low and supply plentiful, prices are being forced down in most regions. Prices have remained stable in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and in the United States, while steel has become cheaper in Europe and China. In Latin America, however, where demand is high, prices are up 3.5 percent. Early in Q3 the situation began to show signs of improving. Although prices continue to fall in Europe, the worst appears to have passed in other regions, where prices seem to be stabilising or even tentatively rising. Global production activity is increasing and the construction sector is recovering, particularly in the US, where prices will likely continue to climb. In other parts of the world, however, the situation in the steel sector remains relatively weak. In China, where capital expenditure on real estate is diminishing, the demand for steel is relatively low. The economies of Europe and Latin America have worsened, and this will eventually carry over to the steel sector. Prices for raw materials used in steel production have plummeted: iron ore has fallen 38 percent since the beginning of 2014, and coking coal 23 percent. In both markets oversupply has forced prices down. Prices for base metals show a different trend, however: only copper has fallen since the beginning of 2014, while aluminium, nickel and zinc are up. The best performer among the metals is aluminium, with significantly higher prices, followed by zinc. Copper and nickel are under pressure from geopolitical developments, regulations and the poor macro data from Europe and China.
Global steel prices to remain stable, prices for base metals set to climb
ABN AMRO assumes that the European economy will gradually recover, that China will realise its growth ambitions and that the US economy will continue to improve. Worsening macro data from Europe and China are generally not an encouraging scenario for the demand for industrial metals; yet here, given the need for economic growth, they may lead to stimulus measures. As a rule, such measures boost demand for industrial metals. Nevertheless, ABN AMRO expects global steel prices to remain stable in Q3 and Q4, despite any stimulus packages: for the time being the steel markets will continue to feel the effects of overcapacity in Europe and China. ABN AMRO also believes that oversupply will likely keep prices for raw materials used in steel production down, though prices for base metals should continue to rise until the end of 2014. ABN AMRO expects that aluminium and zinc will again be the best-performing metals in H2 and that the demand for copper (particularly from China) will remain solid.

"TradeDirect365 is a trading platform created by a trader for traders, with the mission of providing a fair and easy-to-use platform for all levels of trader.

February 3, 1959 was "the day the music died", when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash. The incident, which saw three of rock's biggest stars die at the same time, was the inspiration for Don McLean's song, American Pie. (American Pie lyrics)
Buddy Holly (Charles Hardin Holly), Ritchie Valens (Richard Valenzuela), and The Big Bopper (JP Richardson) were flying with pilot Roger Peterson in a private plane from Clear Lake, Iowa, to Moorhead, Minnesota. The flight was the result of several mishaps on the Winter Dance Party tour, and Clear Lake was not even meant to be a stop on the tour. In order to make the next date, and for Buddy Holly to be able to do laundry, the three musicians chartered a Beechcraft Bonanza B35 to fly them to Moorhead.
Originally, Buddy Holly and his bandmates were meant to fly together, but The Big Bopper ended up getting Waylon Jennings' seat and Ritchie Valens got Tommy Allsup's spot. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, leaving no survivors. Investigations later determined the crash as caused by poor weather and pilot error. Buddy Holly was 22 years old. Ritchie Valens was 17, and The Big Bopper was 28.

The major cause of revolts against the Mughal Empire during the latter half of the 17th century was economic rather than religious.
Many subjects rebelled against Aurangzeb's policies, among them his own son, Prince Akbar. In 1667, the Yusufzai Pashtuns and in 1669, the Jats around Mathura revolted.
In 1672, the Satnami, a sect concentrated in an area near Delhi, under the leadership of Bhirbhan and some Satnami, took over the administration of Narnaul, but they were eventually crushed upon Aurangzeb's personal intervention with very few escaping alive. Soon afterwards the Afridi Pashtuns in the northwest also revolted, and Aurangzeb was forced to lead his army personally to Hasan Abdal to subdue them.
The Ahoms (the people of Shan community of Burma or Myanmar) were the kings who had established their kingdom in the basin of river Brahmaputra and made it impossible for the Mughals to conquer that area. The role of the economic factor was the leading factor of these rebellions. Emperor assigned a certain piece of land to the officials in lieu of their pay and also to enable them to defray the expenses over their troops on condition of their paying a sum to the Emperor out of the surplus revenue.
Such grants were called Jagirs. Since they were mainly grants of revenue out of which the holders (Who were usually Mansabdars) maintained their quota of troops for the Empire, the tendency was to fix revenue at the highest possible rate almost equal to the surplus produce. Even this high rate went on increasing with the passage of time.
Under the circumstances the peasants were financially hit very hard. They were usually left with the barest minimum needed for supporting their lives. What added further to the hardships of the cultivators was the frequent transfer of the jagirs to different assignees.
The jagirdars held their jagirs at the pleasure of the Emperor. This constant insecurity of the tenure of office proved unfortunate in two ways. Firstly it offered little incentive to the holders to exert for alleviating the distress of their tenancy. Instead it led them to employ all possible tactics to extort money from the Peasantry.
Secondly, quite often at the time of the transfer the hard hit peasants of the same Jagir were pressurized to pay the same sum twice, first to the collectors of the outgoing jagirdar and then to those of the incoming one. Thus this system ended in a mad looting of the peasants by the rival collectors.
If the peasants refused to pay the revenue, very severe punishment was meted out to them. At times they were left with no other option than to sell their women, children and cattle, or to run away from their home to avoid extermination through-ill- treatment.

In order to get close enough to God and make an arrest, Collins [alter ego J. Reed] is forced to plunge further and further into criminal activity himself. Clashes with the Captain (Stanley Tucci) over crossing the line between effective undercover work and unjustifiable violence, and a love affair (Nia Long), are mandatory sub-plots in the formulaic script. Every element of the story is underdeveloped and flat, none providing additional value or even distraction. It's too bad that Omar Epps' solid performance is buried almost as deeply as the pool queue God uses to torture a victim during one of his outbreaks.

Treating depression and dementia in the elderly at nursing homes through clown therapy
The elderly population in Brazil is growing, and is estimated to expand by 63 million by 2050, according to IBGE. According to the World Health Organization, the elderly living in nursing homes have higher rates depression. Furthermore, more than 60% pass away within the first year of admission. Still, there are unfortunately few initiatives to develop living spaces that meet the special needs of this age group.
With 12 years of experience in the field, Olivier Hugues Terreault uses clown therapy to treat depression, Alzheimer's and dementia in the elderly in nursing homes. The clown therapy method, already used in Brazil on children in hospital settings, will now be adapted for the Casa de Santa Ana elderly group home and other similar entities in the City of God, in Rio de Janeiro.
With support from BrazilFoundation, the project aims to:
• Implement a pilot project with eight therapeutic institutions for the elderly;
• Be a reference in the area of elder care.
•650 elderly benefited
•45 caretakers trained
•2,600 family members counseled
"The lack of information on how to work with elderly afflicted by mental incapacitation makes them even more distant. With a new form of communication comes a new bond. "

President, Melody Lambson
Hi, my name is Melody Lambson. I have been a member of L'Chayim for about 3 years and am now the President. I love to quilt and I have a fetish for fabric. I would come here just to play with fabric even if there was no sewing allowed. I have learned to make fabric yoyos and put them on old skirts and jackets to repurpose them. Did I mention I love to repurpose things? I also crochet and since I don't believe in throwing away fabric or scraps, if I can't make quilts or yoyos out of it, I can always crochet it and make scrappy rugs.
I love L'Chayim. I have made a lot of great friends here. L'Chayim is a great bunch of ladies on a mission to repurpose. They take things that even thrift stores throw away and make those things into stuff people can use and much of it actually give away to people who can use it and don't have enough money to buy the necessities they need.
Vice-President, Linda Delaney
Secretary,Angel Morgan
My name is Angel Morgan. I have been volunteering at L'Chayim of Galt, Inc. since November of 2005. Gloria Stemler recruited me to help the ladies of Meadows Depot learn to cook and sew. I have been here working toward these goals and all other community service projects. I have served on our board of directors and held several officers positions. I believe in the work we do here in our community. I have learned skills I never thought I would and enjoyed most of it.
Treasurer, Patricia Anspach
Auditor, Barbara Jacobs
Board Member, Sheila Stepp
Board Member, Gloria Stemler
Gloria Stemler is my name and bag lady is my game. Seriously, I am the founder of L'Chayim which has been in existence for about 30 years. L'Chayim was incorporated into its present form in 2005. I am still a board member. I have a passion for the homeless and hungry. I make quilts and toiletry bags for the homeless. I also coordinate the yearly walnut project. We pick, crack, sort and sell the nuts. Project proceeds go to help keep the doors open and the operation of L'Chayim going.
Board Member, Bettie Giles
Hello! My name is Bettie Giles. I have been with L'Chayim for about 2 ½ years. I crochet for the ladies of L'Chayim, things that come in unfinished and donated. I try to finish them. Things like afghans for adults and babies. I also crochet new things such as Christmas ornaments and clothing. I am also taking the quilting class from Sheila Stepp!
It would be hard to say what my favorite thing to do is because I find fun in most everything I have done!

By Vince Velocci, MS
As of June 15, the FDA has revised device labeling regulations to allow for "stand-alone symbols" on labels and labeling in general and additionally for the symbol statement "Rx only" on prescription devices.
The industry has asked for and been granted the ability to use stand-alone symbols consistent with those placed on devices in jurisdictions outside the US. The rule will harmonize US requirements with the:
- European Medical Device Directive (Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC)
- International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60417)
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO standard 7000-DB)
Until now, the agency has required symbols to have adjacent English explanatory text (medical devices and IVD for professional use). The change allows symbols developed by SDOs (standards development organizations) to be used as long as:
- The symbols are used according to specifications for use of symbols, as per FDA section 514, and the SDO is recognized by the agency; and
- When the symbol is NOT from an SDO or is but is NOT used as per FDA section 514 BUT the manufacturer determines that the symbol is likely to be understood by the "ordinary individual".
In these cases, the symbol must be explained in a paper or electronic glossary. There must be a conspicuous English statement identifying the location of the glossary. It should be noted, that for articles distributed in Puerto Rico or other non-English Territory, the predominant language may be used.
In addition, the final rule allows the use of the symbol statement "Rx only" or "℞ only" for labeling of prescription devices.
The agency expects the net cost benefits to be 6.6 to 22.3 million dollars (annualized over 10 years).
CAN I USE NON-APPROVED SYMBOLS? Sounds like YES, assuming the symbols are recognizable by the target users and are included in a glossary which describes their meaning.
DO DRAWINGS AND PICTOGRAMS FALL UNDER THIS RULE? Instructions for use and quick reference guides often contain drawings and pictograms. These do not fall under these rules and can be used freely.
With both of these, presumably it is up to the vendor to provide evidence that their symbols and/or their pictograms are recognizable and understood by the target population. The best way to do this is formative testing. So test early and test often!

Spoiler! This post might be about parenting!
How to make a child practise piano?
One answer. With LOVE.
1/ Make sure that he or she absolutely LOVES music. There is no question about it. You can't make music if you don't love it.
2/ If you don't know what they love, find out. Play all kinds of music to them. Talk about it. Music is for sharing. Share with them the music that you yourself love. They won't and can't practise if you yourself don't love music. You may find that they don't actually love music. If that's the case, move on to Step 12 below. If they love music, then everything will fall into place and you can continue with Step 3.
3/ Once you know what they love, get the sheet music or if you play music, play it to them if you can play. If you cannot play, get them sheet music that is very simple so that they can play.
4/ Get them a teacher that is fantastic, enthusiastic, friendly and who loves children. The teacher is very important. If they don't love the teacher, they won't love the music and they won't love what the teacher has to say. They will associate the teacher with the music which is a sad fact. Get the teacher to play them something fun and then teach them to play it. If they love the teacher but don't love music, then you have to go to step 12 below.
5/ Once they play what is fun, play other things, widen their taste and their repertoire. Don't ever sneak in stuff that they won't like like scales, exercises and tuneless tunes. They can smell it. That will come with time. They will want to please you and want to play the stuff they don't like.
6/ Let them play for only 5 minutes a day if they are very little. They don't know it yet, but they are indeed 'practising'. Practising is training the mind. If they are older children, they should practise for 15 minutes without flying tempers (yours or theirs). Of course it is easier said than done.
7/ Never raise your voice. Just stop and do something else so that they won't see the piano as a torture chamber. Repeatedly making mistakes and playing incorrectly with an angry, bored and frustrated face is not practising. Remind yourself that music is joy.
8/ Offer rewards. We all love rewards. Each day of practising with a happy face for 5 minutes earns one sticker. After ten stickers, they can enjoy a little gift.
9/ Watch live gigs together. Also watch Youtube videos of other people or children playing music.
10/ Do music in school. The environment and peer pressure is important. Once there are other 'cool' children doing music, the magic will rub off.
11/ Routine, routine, routine. Remember those sleepless nights? Now they have a bedtime routine right? Make the practising time whether it is 5 minutes or 50 minutes part of the routine. It has to happen at a certain time of day.
12/ If the above ten steps don't work, then give yourself a deadline as to when to give up. If you are not a tiger mum, and clearly, I am not, then you cannot break their spirit. These are your own children that we are talking about. Giving up is not a bad thing. Giving up means you and your child are now free to explore doing something else. Maybe David Beckham gave up piano to do football and his parents said 'great stuff' rather than 'what?!'. Some children are not meant to be musicians. How can so many billion people on earth all be musicians? Some of us have to do something else. Maybe we will be fantastic at something else. Giving up is not a sign of losing or of failure. Giving up is a sign that you only want them to be happy and that's because you love them.
