National Poetry Day is a nationwide celebration of poetry for everyone, everywhere.The idea is to shake poetry from its dust-jacket and into the nations' streets, offices, shops, playgrounds, train stations and onto the airwaves. It's a chance for people to use poetry to say things that can't be said in prose.
National Poetry Day was founded in 1994, and has engaged millions of people across the country with live events, happenings, classroom activities, conversations, broadcasts, semi-comprehensible tweets and spontaneous uncontrollable outbursts of poetry – whether vocal or in the form of pome-graffiti
From 1999 onwards, National Poetry Day has been loosely "themed": the theme is not prescriptive but serves to fire the imagination.This Years theme is "water, water, everywhere",in case you want to use it to kick-start activities or as a point of inspiration.
This is in homage to one of the nation's best-known (and most-frequently misquoted) lines of poetry*.
To Start this celebration here is a poem
Love, like Water
Tumbling from some far-flung cloud
into your bathroom alone, to sleeve
a toe, five, a metatarsal arch,
it does its best to feign indifference
to the body, but will go on creeping
up to the neck till it's reading the skin
like braille, though you're certain it sees
under the surface of things and knows
the routes your nerves take as they branch
from the mind, which lately has been curling
in on itself like the spine of a dog
as it circles a patch of ground to sleep.
Now through the dappled window,
propped open slightly for the heat,
a light rain is composing
the lake it falls into, the way a lover's hand
composes the body it touches - Love,
like water! How it gives and gives,
wearing the deepest of groves in our sides
and filling them up again, ever so gently
wounding us, making us whole.
************************************Julia Copus
This year's excitements include poets writing in the London Underground, Jordan from Rizzle Kicks performing alongside Mr Gee at Wembley and the incarceration of four Welsh poets overnight, with pen, paper, coffee and orders to create 100 new poems.
Last year National Poetry Day reached 50 million people, for 24 hours. Why not more? We need your help to engage tomorrow's poetry lovers, not for a day but for a lifetime.
A Glass of Water
Here is a glass of water from my well.
It tastes of rock and root and earth and rain;
It is the best I have, my only spell,
And it is cold, and better than champagne.
Perhaps someone will pass this house one day
To drink, and be restored, and go his way,
Someone in dark confusion as I was
When I drank down cold water in a glass,
Drank a transparent health to keep me sane,
After the bitter mood had gone again.
********************************May Sarton
Twitter(National Poetry Day)
Grab a poem, & someone you love, then read, whisper, sing, shout it to them. Say hi to a colleague – tell them about National Poetry Day, spread the danger…..celebrate the day……..
This poem ……….Elma Mitchell.
This poem is dangerous: it should not be left
Within reach of children, or even of adults
Who might swallow it whole, with possibly
Undesirable side-effects.If you come across
An unattended, unidentified poem
In a public place, do not attempt to tackle it
Yourself. Send it (preferably in a sealed container)
To the nearest centre of learning, where it will be rendered
Harmless, by experts. Even the simplest poem
May destroy your immunity to human emotions.
All poems must carry a Government warning. Words
Can seriously affect your heart.
Has nothing to do with water, but I just loved the idea behind it
PARRISH LANTERN'S - Pocket Anthology
- Water, water, every where,
- And all the boards did shrink;
- Water, water, every where,
- Nor any drop to drink.

Buick, a car producer company, a department of General Motor, will release an advancement in which the fans have been waiting on the 2021 Buick Enclave series. The Enclave specially developed as a family car that can accommodate approximately seven people and prioritizes comfort and security for an extraordinary family traveling experience.
2020 Buick Enclave
The 2020 Buick Enclave will be representing the 3rd production year of the existing, second generation of this mid-size crossover. Initially developed for the Chinese market, the Enclave pertained to North America too. It is a healthy SUV, which coquettes with both mainstream and premium sector. Strolling on that great line makes this crossover rather distinct on the marketplace. Many specialists would concur that a 3rd production year generally does not bring anything magnificent in regards to novelties.

I went to Chapel Hill, NC, to attend the first conference on autism employment entrepreneurship (January 27-29) and joined 150 others from across the country who were business founders (for profit and non profit) , funders, educators, social service providers, and people considering starting businesses designed to employ people with autism
The conference was sponsored by the Ireland family who found Extraordinary Ventures 5 years ago. One of their ventures is operating an events space, so naturally we met there. It's a nice two story building across the street from a shopping center which includes Whole Foods. On the upper level is a large open space for events. Downstairs is where three of their other ventures are housed. We were given a tour of the operations and observed a laundry business servicing the frat houses of Duke and Chapel Hill, a candle making business, and a mail room business. They also brought in a Chapel Hill community bus to their parking lot to demonstrate how their employees clean the city buses, usually done at the depot.
Extraordinary Ventures worked with the UNC TEACCH program to apply the TEACCH methodology to work tasks using lots of visuals to provide step by step instructions. Most of the jobs at EV were designed with their own son's level of functioning as the baseline; this includes jobs with repetitive tasks and consistent cadence of work. As some workers demonstrate more skill, they are given more responsibility. We had a chance to watch staff at work.
The Irelands had two of their adult children helping with the event. Their son with autism came to work for a bit too.
Extraordinary Ventures, a non-profit, decided to take advantage of the college town and hired 5 young adults who wanted to have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs. These young business managers liken it to Teach for America where they dedicate a few years of hands on experience before heading off to business school. They are given the freedom to try business ideas that may fail and have learned to create businesses that fit their employees skills but also meet a market need. They manage the business based on business principals, and lead with the business value, not with the social mission.
For example they discovered that when advertising using Google Ad words, that ads with out the word "autism" pulled better response than ads with "autism".
Rising Tide car wash is a for-profit business in South Florida. Because of the equipment needed, the land and insurance, the start up costs were extensive – about $3 million. They have been in business for 10 months. Because they created their own very detailed training processes for their employees they learned to not hire people who have had car wash experience. The training process they put their employees through helped to create social bonds, a real challenge for those with autism. They also found that while many people with autism are not motivated by money, that in fact their best employees are. They particularly respond to the tips (which increased when customers were informed of the mission of the car wash) They have a site to share their business concepts: Can Do Biz
AutonomyWorks is a benefit corporation, a new type of corporation structure that allows executives to make decisions that are in the best interest of the business mission even if it does not maximize profits. The founders chose the for profit approach because they wanted to attract capital from investors. They identified the business opportunity to do work that many corporations have been off-shoring or out-sourcing (ie sending to India, Singapore, or other low wage English-speaking countries). The work includes marketing operations such as website content management, quality assurance, analytics and reporting such as analysis of marketing campaigns, or social media analytics.
They lead with their business mission rather than their social mission and need to be competitive in order to get contracts. Their goal was to get as good as neurotypical but found they are better than NTs. AutonomyWorks requires their employees to delivery a quality product that meets their standards but is flexible on productivity.
To on-board staff they have them job shadow to introduce them to the work, since interviews just don't work for people with autism. They need to demonstrate what they can do. AutonomyWorks designs their work assignments for the way people with autism learn and work best.
AutonomyWorks management created work instructions with visuals, they apply good management practices including setting clear expectations, providing feedback on performance
Employees have their say
A panel featuring two employees shared their work experience. Patrick who worked in the EV laundry was quite self-aware when he said he can handle change if only one thing changes at a time. He was told he should think of himself like a rubber band that should be stretched, but only so far before it breaks. Another employee who worked in a bike shop talked about turning obsessions into something that is more productive. He said he would like to be able to advocate for people with autism.
Peaks and Valleys
A panel of support staff talked about the great variability between strengths and weaknesses – with high highs and low lows. Unlike the school system which looks for what is broken and attempts to fix that, the work place is where strengths and skills are identified and focus is put on that. Look to apply an employee's strength to a job task – which may mean defining micro-tasks.
What about girls
In response to my question about any differences between the male and female employees, one of the business managers stated, compared to parents of boys, the parents of girls seem to underestimate what their children can do; they tend to think they have significant limits and the parents are more "protective" of their daughters.
Part 2 to come.

The NRA would take away our right not to own a gun
Continuing my stream of gun-control-related posts, a brief reflection on the implications of the gun rights folks' positions.
Briefly, they are arguing that the solution to gun crimes is more guns in the hands of everyday folks. Rep. Louie Gohmert on Newtown: "I wish to God [the Sandy Hook principal] had an M-4 in her office locked up — so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands." The NRA's Wayne LaPierre today: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
What this means is that they wish to push for a society where there is not only the right to own whatever guns we can imagine, but that not owning one becomes dangerous and an abdication of moral responsibility. What if a school principal doesn't like guns, or is not a good shot? Would they have us move toward a world where she could lose her job?
As with most rights, your rights can interfere with mine. Your right to smoke interferes with my right to breathe tobacco-free air. The Westboro Baptist Church's right to free speech interferes with the rights of families to have quiet dignified funerals. As in a recent court case here in Canada, the religious right to wear a veil in court interferes with the right of the accused to confront the accuser and to a fair trial. These can be hard questions for societies to negotiate.
Up until recently, the right to bear arms did interfere with the right to life (for murder victims) but did not interfere with the right of others not to bear arms. But these recent statements suggest the gun rights folks would like to move us to a world where, though there is a theoretical right not to bear arms, no one would feel safe without one, and some people might be obliged to have them at work. Personally, I'm happy up here in Canada where people would be disturbed if I carried around a handgun, rather than feeling pressured to.
It's worth noting that the gun manufacturers are a major force behind many gun rights organizations. Hmmm, I wonder what they would feel about a world where more and more people were obliged to buy their products? The gun rights folks like slippery slope arguments. Well here's one for them: if we don't stop this craziness now, we're moving toward a world where no one can feel safe unless they have a gun, effectively depriving us of the right to live without guns.

Cats are awesome. My wife wants a dog, but I would rather have cats. Lower maintenance – you can't tell a dog "hey, we're taking off for a couple of days, there's food and water in the basement. peace out."
You have the best cat names ever. I thought I was pretty clever when I named my cat "Five"…Five –> Cat Five –> which is what geeks like me call Category Five network cable, the standard networking cable for PCs.

Thank you. I needed that this morning. First you made me insanely happy with that name (if you hadn't named the kitteh that, I might have had to adopt an owl like my friend did just so I could name the owl after Hunter S.

OK…my cat has moved on the catch the non-existent bug he is sure lives in the kitchen drawer (truth is we torture the cat with a robotic bug).

I went and visited the kitties at Petsmart that needed adopting and totally wanted to take home this one tabby that had lost her right eye, she was so sweet and loving. I could get her a little eye patch and give her a pirate name. These ginja kitty pics are not helping….I cannot get a kitteh. I have a big doggie that does not like kittehs…she likes to try to eat them 🙁
karen recently posted When you're a Jet....continued.
My heart thanks you. This made me giggle and my heart smile. I miss having a kitten in the house. Our kitten went insane at a year old and now stalks around the house and if you catch her off guard she jumps around like an insane Tigger. She has her moments of sweetness, but the moments of insanity are much more and last longer. 🙂

My cuddler is a 145lb great pyrenees (dog in the shape of a small polar bear), so there's more drool and less picking-up-of-animals-to-snuggle in my house. 😀 Usually he just sits on your feet, pinning you to the floor, and leans in.

In my "Blogging For Dummies" book it suggests putting pictures of cats on your blog (seriously) because cats attract readers. I don't know why blog readers love cats so much, but apparently it's been scientifically proven or something. I have two cats who aren't very photogenic mostly because one is old and one is an attack animal. Your cats are like movie stars! I am super jealous because my cat pictures have not attracted any new readers. Not even one. If only blog readers liked dogs instead.

For a year and a half, Threes Brewing has turned out saisons, farmhouse ales, IPAs, pale ales and a house lager from its brewery in Gowanus, Brooklyn. In-the-know drinkers have sought them out on draft at better beer bars in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and have maybe stopped by the taproom to check out the latest rotating restaurant to take over for a three-week stint. (Pop-ups have included Roberta's, Daniel Boulud and The Meat Hook. No bigs.)
But fresh off an expansion and the release of their second batch of cans, the three (of course) folks behind Threes Brewing are about to get a lot busier. The trio is composed of Justin Israelson, Josh Stylman and brewer Greg Doroski, formerly of Greenport Harbor in Greenport, New York. Yes, they're a team of three, but the brewery's name also references its address at 333 Douglas St.—"It was the best worst name we had," Israelson says.
Threes produced about 1,000 barrels of beer in 2015 on its 15-barrel brewing system. The expansion adds space for about 200 barrels, a couple 30-barrel foeders, some wine casks and additional fermenters. Israelson says he expects production to triple that thousand-barrel mark this year. Despite that increase, Threes has no quick plans to expand its distribution area.
"For the time being, we just want to focus on [distributing around] New York," Israelson says."Things might change in the future but there's such a dense population here and we feel it's underserved."
What has changed: How you can get Threes beer. After a crowd of people showed up to the brewery's first can release, Threes has decided to move toward an online presale model, on which drinkers can sign up to buy the beer ahead of time, then show up on the can release day and collect it. ("We don't want anyone to have to wait in line for our cans or bottles—beer is supposed to be a leisure sport," the brewery explained in posting about the new format.)
That first release saw the debut of Vliet pilsner and Day of the Dead IPA 6-packs; this week's release will be Chronic Myopia IPA, a 6.9% American IPA with tropical fruit and pine flavors for sale at $15 per 4-pack of 16-ounce cans. More stainless steel, courtesy of the expansion, will enable greater experimentation, and the packaging capabilities mean Threes will debut its first barrel-aged wild ales soon. Sign up for the brewery's newsletter to stay in the know.

A man, accused of misbehaving with an air hostess in a Delhi-bound flight of Thai Airways in 2004, has been acquitted by a court here due to lack of evidence against him.
The court acquitted Arunabha Goswami, a resident of Madhya Pradesh, for the offence under section 354 (outraging woman's modesty) of IPC saying police have not given any "plausible explanation" about not recording the statement of any other co-passenger to corroborate the allegation against him.
"I am of the considered opinion that in the absence of independent corroborative evidence, the evidence produced on record by prosecution is not beyond shadow of doubt and the accused is entitled to benefit of doubt. So, accused Arunabha Goswami is acquitted for offence punishable under section 354 IPC," metropolitan magistrate Priya Mahindra said.
According to the prosecution, Goswami was apprehended on a complaint filed by the air hostess who had alleged that he had misbehaved with her on September 2, 2004 when she was serving drinks during the flight from Bangkok to Delhi.
The complainant had claimed that she had complained about the incident to one of her senior colleagues. After the plane landed at Delhi airport, the matter was reported to police.
During the trial, Goswami denied that he had misbehaved with the air hostess and claimed that he was being falsely implicated in the case. Goswami's counsel said the woman had made improvements in her testimony which discredit her completely.
The court, while acquitting Goswami, relied on statement of one of the co-passengers who said that the accused never misbehaved with the complainant and he was falsely implicated as he intended to sue Thai Airways for deficiency in their services.

Gartner 2017 reports shows Tableau, Qlik, and Microsoft are the leader in Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms. The full Gartner url is at the bottom. The Gartner link will be expired in sometime later, that was my experience with Gartner link.
I will put the highlight in this blog for the 3 BI platforms.
Cost: Microsoft is placing downward pricing pressure on the BI and analytics market with both a free desktop product as well as low subscription price per user per month. On an annualized basis, Microsoft Power BI is roughly one-third of the license cost of a three-year perpetual BI license, but 80% lower than other cloud BI products. Low total cost of ownership was cited as the second most important reason for reference customers choosing Microsoft Power BI. However, potential customers should be aware that additional data scale-out options incur additional costs when leveraging Microsoft SQL Azure or HDInsight in the cloud — once they reach the 10GB per user limit in the standard Power BI Pro price. Being free but functionally deficient does not succeed; this was a problem with the first release of Power BI. However, Microsoft has now narrowed feature gaps and successfully executed on its "five by five" strategy — five seconds to sign up and five minutes to "wow" the customer.
Ease of use plus complex analysis: Microsoft's customer reference scores place it in the top quartile for ease of use and complexity of analysis. Ease of use for content consumers was also the most-cited reason for customers choosing Microsoft Power BI. It was also placed in the top quartile for composite ease of use; however, there is room for improvement in ease of administration and authoring (where the vendor was average). Customers now want ease of use not only with simple queries, but also with increasingly sophisticated types of questions — mashing together multiple data sources from multiple fact tables. Microsoft's ability to manipulate data from multiple data sources — both cloud-based and on-premises, relational as well as Hadoop-based, and including semistructured content — contributed to this high composite score.
Vision: Microsoft is furthest to the right on the Completeness of Vision axis and has also continued to execute on its roadmap with frequent (monthly) product releases. Microsoft was relatively early to introduce search-based queries with Power BI Q&A, and has recently introduced Quick Insights as a basic form of smart data discovery. Microsoft continues to integrate its machine-learning capabilities as part of a complete solution, the Cortana Intelligence Suite. This vendor has also moved a step closer to linking insights to actions, with the recent integration of Power BI with Microsoft Flow and within its business application, Microsoft Dynamics.
Active community: Microsoft has a strong community of partners, resellers and individual users. This community extends the product with prebuilt apps, visualizations and video tutorials, in addition to the content provided directly by Microsoft. This additional content is available via the Microsoft AppSource, further contributing to Microsoft's far-right placement for its Completeness of Vision. Microsoft's reference customer scores placed it in the top quartile for the user-enablement metrics of user community and availability of skilled resources in the marketplace.
Product immaturity and cloud-only: The two biggest concerns that Microsoft's reference customers cited relate to absent or weak functionality and an inability to handle required data volumes. While Microsoft has handled some of the tougher product problems (such as hybrid cloud to on-premises connectivity and search), it is missing basic functionality such as the ability to display data in a pivot table or to create subtotals within a tabular display. Microsoft's current work-around is to use Excel to create the pivot table, but this creates a workflow challenge. While Microsoft offers scale-up options, the path is not clear and is further complicated by differing strategies for Analysis Services on-premises versus in the cloud. Data can reside on-premises, but for sharing and collaboration the dashboards are stored in the Microsoft Azure cloud. An option to publish Power BI reports to on-premises Reporting Services is part of the 2017 roadmap.
Breadth of use: Microsoft's scores from its reference clients place it in the bottom quartile for breadth of use (as with last year). Breadth of use looks at the percentage of users who use the product for a range of BI styles, including viewing reports, creating personalized dashboards and doing simple ad hoc analysis, to performing complex queries, data preparation and using predictive models. Microsoft Power BI is mainly being used for parameterized reports and dashboards.
Support: Microsoft's reference scores placed it in the bottom half of all the vendors in this Magic Quadrant for support quality. While the community is strong, support from Microsoft is not what its customers expect, particularly in terms of response time and time to resolution. Also, 7% of reference customers said that support quality is a barrier to wider deployment, putting Microsoft in the top quartile for this complaint. In part, support challenges can be exacerbated by frequent product releases in which capabilities are changing rapidly.
Not the only standard: Microsoft Power BI is often used in combination with other BI tools, which is not surprising for a newer product to market and one with gaps in functionality. However, this mix-and-match strategy may make it harder for customers who want to minimize their portfolio's complexity. Here, customers may use Power BI as a low-cost option for broadly used, simple dashboards, and then complement it with products from other BI vendors whose products have more robust capabilities. This dynamic may change as Microsoft continues to improve its product capabilities with monthly releases.
Momentum: Qlik's customer reference scores place it in the top quartile (of all the vendors in this Magic Quadrant) for its market responsiveness, based on a combination of how successfully the product is deployed in organizations and its strong momentum. Qlik's revenue grew 20% for the first half of 2016 (financial numbers are no longer available following Qlik's privatization). Qlik was also placed in the top quartile for interest, based on searches on gartner.com and customer inquiries. With the incorporation of NPrinting into Qlik Sense, Qlik supports both Mode 1 (traditional BI capabilities to schedule reports) and Mode 2 (agile, governed data discovery and visual exploration); this breadth of product capabilities further contributes to its position in the Leaders quadrant.
Rapid deployment: Qlik's scalable, in-memory engine allows lines of business as well as central IT to rapidly mash data from multiple data sources that is then accessible via highly interactive dashboards. Qlik's ease of use for consumers and its visually appealing dashboards have proven to be product differentiators.
User enablement: User enablement is once again a strength for Qlik. With a modern BI architecture, business power users may become the predominant content developers, instead of IT developers. Newer types of training — in the form of online tutorials and community forums — become more important than traditional classroom-style training. Qlik's customer reference scores placed it in the top quartile for these more self-paced forms of training.
Partner network: Qlik's partner network continues to be a differentiator through which partners offer not only product extensions and complementary capabilities, but also professional services. Qlik reference customers score the availability of skilled resources in the market in the top quartile. This partner network has also provided a way for Qlik to expand its capabilities through acquisition, most recently with partner Industrial CodeBox — whose capabilities have improved Qlik's out-of-the box data source connectivity options. In January 2017, Qlik also completed the acquisition of partner Idevio in order to bolster its mapping and location intelligence capabilities.
More narrow use case: Complexity of analysis is an important part of a vendor's Completeness of Vision in this Magic Quadrant. While Qlik supports a range of data sources and data models, its reference customers are not using the product in this way. A lower portion of Qlik's references are using it for data integration or visual discovery than in previous years, with a much higher percentage of customers using it for parameterized reports and dashboards. This more narrow use case has affected its positon on the Completeness of Vision axis. Bearing this in mind, Qlik's sweet spot may increasingly be for agile, centralized BI provisioning, rather than for more sophisticated analytics use cases as it is deployed more broadly in the enterprise. This may be a reflection of how competitors have evolved in terms of easier data preparation, in contrast to Qlik — in which a load script is still required for more complex data models and data preparation. Also, advanced analytics capabilities are largely lacking in Qlik Sense, both in the form of R integration as well as out-of-the-box visualizations and menu options, although these items are on the roadmap.
Software licensing and cost: Cost of software was (again) cited as a barrier to adoption by 30% of Qlik's reference customers, putting it in the top quartile for this complaint (similar to 2016). Qlik Sense primarily uses token-based pricing, which more closely aligns to a named user than concurrent user licensing; in theory, tokens can be shared by multiple users to provide a degree of sharing, but with a reset frequency that appears to make license management a challenge. As QlikView customers adopt Qlik Sense, this token approach is proving less flexible and more expensive than the myriad packaging options offered to QlikView customers (which offered session, document, and named user options). More recently, Gartner has begun to see CPU core pricing and enterprise agreements for larger deployments that show more flexibility. Beyond pricing, there were no major barriers to wider adoption, or platform problems; this shows an improvement in product maturity over the previous year.
Technical support lags: Customer references scored Qlik's technical support as slightly below average (compared with other Magic Quadrant vendors) for level of expertise, response time and time to resolution (similar to the responses in 2015). There is a high bar in the modern BI and analytics space, as demonstrated by the fact that despite 66% rating the support as excellent, and only 5% as poor, the vendor was still slightly below average. These scores are part of the reason why Qlik is positioned lower in the Leaders quadrant.
Evolving cloud strategy: Qlik's cloud strategy continued to evolve in 2016, most recently with the addition of Qlik Cloud for Business, which is positioned for small to midsize organizations and limited to 500GB per workgroup. Prior to this release, Qlik customers could deploy QlikView or Qlik Sense in the cloud in a bring-your-own license model. A Qlik Sense Cloud for enterprise customers, with more fine-grained control and unlimited data storage, is planned for 2017.
Gold standard for intuitive interactive exploration: Tableau's core product strengths continue to be its intuitive interactive visualization and exploration and analytic dashboarding capabilities for almost any data source — leveraging an extensive set of data connectors with both in-memory and direct query access for larger datasets. The popularity of this combination with business users drove the market disruption for which Tableau is now well-known and the shift to modern BI and analytics. Tableau 10 further streamlines exploration and content creation workflow for core users by further automating routine tasks, such as geocoding and the creation of time hierarchies on data fields, adding type-ahead for formula building, and new drag-and-drop clustering in addition to existing advanced analytics functions for forecasting and trends. Tableau's reference customers continue to purchase the product for its user experience at a higher rate than for most other vendors in this Magic Quadrant, and score its ease of use among the highest of all these vendors.
Focus on customer experience and success: All aspects of customer experience and operations (among Tableau's reference customers) have improved this year compared with last year, and it scores above the vendor average for this Magic Quadrant. This includes a top quartile score for the primary measure of success — achievement of business benefits. The key to customer success is user enablement, where Tableau's references give it top scores across all categories as well as for availability of skills from both the market and the vendor. Tableau offers a vast array of learning options — including online tutorials, webinars and hands-on classroom-based training — to educate and empower its users, which has increased the number of skilled Tableau resources available in the market along with Tableau Public, its online community and its extensive network of Alliance Partners.
Expanding deployments and standardization rates: Some organizations prefer to use Tableau to empower centralized teams to provision content for consumers in an agile and iterative manner, while others adopt a more hands-off approach and enable completely decentralized analysis by business users. Tableau deployments are expanding and become a BI and analytics standard in most of its customer base, with survey customers either considering the platform to be "one of" (39%) or "the" (43%) enterprise standard. Moreover, Tableau's reference customers report above-average deployment sizes compared with the other vendors included in this Magic Quadrant — driven by 41% of those organizations reporting average deployments of more than 1,000 users.
Flexible deployment options: Tableau can be deployed in the cloud, with Tableau Online, or on-premises. Tableau was early to the cloud, initially relying on deployment in its own data centers. Tableau has evolved its cloud deployment options to also provide prepackaged virtual machines for AWS and Microsoft Azure in order to simplify deployment and support for the Google Cloud platform (although hybrid support for on-premises data is on the near-term roadmap). Tableau Server is available as bring your own license (BYOL) on the Azure and AWS Marketplaces; it is also available in pay-by-the-hour on AWS Marketplace. About half of Tableau's reference customers say they either have, or are planning, deployment in the cloud, which is slightly less than the 51% average for vendors in this Magic Quadrant.
Mainstreaming of core innovation: Visual-based data exploration (Tableau's primary disruptive capability) is, while still a differentiator, now being offered by most players in the modern BI market. This includes many traditional vendors (with large installed base market shares) that newly appeal to these customers through a combination of good-enough functionality, enterprise features and integration with years of investment in SOR content and favorable pricing. While Tableau is viewed as the gold standard, the value of that distinction has diminished as feature differentiation narrows, competitive options grow, and enterprise features and price versus value for money factor more in the purchasing decision than before. This has caused increasingly competitive and contested expansion and enterprise deals. Moreover, Tableau's need to improve its enterprise features diverts investment from the "smart" next-generation capabilities that will be the cornerstone of future competitive differentiation.
Pricing and packaging: Cost of software and complex packaging, particularly as low-cost options grow, is a challenge for Tableau. One of Tableau's few below-average-rated execution measures continues to be sales experience (with among highest percentage of reference users citing cost as a limitation to broader deployment). With increased price sensitivity in this market, new lower-priced market entrants are being considering by and appealing to buyers, particularly for the more lightweight users in larger deployments. Tableau has responded to this competitive pressure by streamlining its packaging, being more flexible in terms of discounting on large deals and moving to subscription pricing during 2016 in order to address this purchasing barrier.
Lack of complex data model support: Tableau supports a diverse range of data connectivity options — spanning relational, online analytical processing (OLAP), Hadoop, NoSQL and cloud sources — but offers weaker capabilities when it comes to integrating combinations of these sources in preparation for analysis. While harmonized data can now be reused in Tableau 10, complex multifact table data models are not yet supported and must be created elsewhere when needed. Moreover, poor performance for large in-memory extracts often requires modeling in a separate data repository that is directly queried from Tableau. Tableau reference customers score it in the bottom quartile for average number of data sources accessed from the platform, while at the same time reporting that they access among the highest data volumes for queries — which likely reflects the approach that Tableau has taken of leveraging an underlying data warehouse if one exists. Tableau has announced its plans to release a stand-alone self-service data preparation tool (code-named Project Maestro) in 2017, to address its customers' challenges with large and complex data.
Many enterprise features a work in progress: Most new product investment on Tableau's roadmap is targeted at closing current enterprise feature gaps — such as adding support for Linux, replacing the TDE file format with a new in-memory engine (Hyper) to support larger datasets, and improving APIs for better embeddability and extensibility. Event-based scheduling, conditional alerting, printing to PDF and PowerPoint, and collaboration and social platform integration are also works in progress. Currently, many of these gaps are filled by partners such as Metric Insights and Computer Intelligence Associates, which again adds to the TCO.

Recently I was given the opportunity to visit a charming store in Old Town with the purpose of writing an article about its unique sensibilities and growth. I wandered around Tallulah's Folly and chatted with the owner David Gregware for a couple of hours about the different local artists and businesses that all shared in the building of his store. I hope you have had the opportunity to pick up a copy of the The New Citizens Press. If not, you may read the article here.
Enjoy and think of the Folly when you start making your holiday shopping plans. Think of all of your independent local businesses! They are vital to our community's economic recovery.
I'm not just saying that because I happen to own one. :)

Nick Waterhouse
Nick Waterhouse's art springs from a simple idea: everybody wants to be somebody else. One of his heroes, Van Morrison, got his start covering Bobby Bland, whose own musical idol was Nat "King" Cole. In Waterhouse's view, emulation is a journey; you never truly succeed, but as the singer, guitarist and songwriter puts it, "You become something on the way there."
Nick was born in 1986 and grew up in Huntington Beach, known predominantly for UFC, commercial surf culture, and tanning salons. He established his musical sensibilities in the middle of the burgeoning southern California Psych-Garage scene (Burger records, Ty Segall, McHugh's Distillery studio) while retaining his unique perspective on the spirit of American Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll.
These days, Waterhouse is a successful recording artist, with two well-received LPs and several high-profile tours and collaborations to his name.

Sometimes you plan something and it doesn't work out as you thought it would. I ordered a lot of jars in the beginning of August, thinking they would arrive the end of August. The company of which I ordered, told me I would receive the jars last week. Unfortunately they didn't keep up their word. But I had already my 90 kilos of organic tomatoes ordered. What to do? I gave some to my mom and sis and kept 60 kilos.
I got the tomatoes and the tomato grower was so nice to give me some ripe and some not so ripe tomatoes. I made 22x 1/2 liter jars of tomato juice. I love taking that with me to work so I made those first. Then I made quarts of tomato juice and I made a couple of liters of hot curry ketchup and roasted ketchup. We love to put that on everything from rice/bean burgers to grilled cheese sandwiches.
I splurged a bit this week and I bought a tomato strainer, finally, after so many years. I am almost done with the tomatoes but what a lot of work that was!
I bought 10 kilo colored carrots 10 euro which I will dehydrate, 20 kilo white grapes 1.80 per kilo (a total of 36 euros) I already dehydrated. We love to eat them as a snack with some raw nuts. I cut up 5 bunches of coriander, bagged it with some olive oil and put it in the freezer. I also bought 20 kilo wild peaches for 24 euro which I shall can in a honey syrup (that is our favorite syrup to can in).
I have been more tired then normal because I am cycling to work now: 25 kilometers back and forth. So getting myself to work at night is a bit difficult. But until now the weather has been wonderful (only one day of heavy rain and I arrived at work soaked). I got my old cassette walkman out of my treasure hunting basket (I put there what I picked up for not a lot of money at flea markets). I bought this Phillips one for only 50 euro cent. Now i can listen to some old cassettes. I want to brush up my Arabic a bit so I am listening to my very old tapes. How much fun is that when I cycle my way home through the polders!

Platinum Group Metals and JOGMEC have expanded the drilling program on their Waterberg joint venture project on South Africa's Bushveld Complex to 12 drill rigs. The expanded program is scheduled for completion by March 31 and will be followed by an updated resource calculation that will be incorporated into an ongoing pre-feasibility study.
The Waterberg project exploration budget for the annual period to March 31 now totals $8.5 million and is fully funded by JOGMEC. Platinum Group Metals holds a direct and indirect 58.62% interest in the project and is the operator.
Current drilling is to targeting the best grade thicknesses in the project's shallowest locations. The deposit has shallow regions where grid areas measuring 250 m by 250 m are estimated to host more than 500,000 3E resource ounces (platinum, palladium, and gold) each. Targeting the best areas of shallow mineralization within these regions along the 13-km open strike length of the project is key to optimizing the prefeasibility design.
Additional resources above 200 m in depth may play an important role in the initial years of the ramp-up profile of the pre-feasibility mine design.
Additional drilling is also being focused on expanding on an intercept grading 5.84 g/mt 3E over 15 m true width at a depth of more than 800 m.

The process
I start by blanking some part, or all of a real Magic card with acetone. When blanking part of the card, I mask off a portion of the card with electrical tape. Then I use a color laser printer to print a custom image on the card. Sometimes due to small alignment issues, or rubbing as the card travels through the printer requires a little touching up after printing, most commonly with a marker.
Proxies are foil cards blanked with acetone and a custom image printed over the entire card, and are not legal for most tournament play. To the best of my ability, I only use my own work, or art that has entered the public domain. For example, 16th century portraits, or Hudson school landscapes.
I only make proxies of cards on the reserved list, with the intent of supporting players that enjoy those formats in events that allow proxies, or casual play at home, but without the standard ugly "marker on a plains" proxy. I personally use mine to prevent wear on my most valuable cards
Alters are real Magic cards partially blanked with acetone. I block off the full name box of the card, and any other part of the original card I wish to keep.
Altered cards are always only allowed at the discretion of the head judge of the event. Checking with them before using them is important. My method does not significantly change the thickness of the card, so hopefully many judges would allow my alters in tournament play.

In My Time of Dying by David J. West
True Grit Meets the Prestige

It's no secret that I see a counselor. In fact, I think I might annoy people by carrying the good word of the benefits of a good counselor far and wide. It truly does make a difference, and this week I learned a very valuable lesson from my counselor that is going to serve as my weekly inspiration.
I opened up to him about another big episode of anxiety and we began talking it out. He walked me through it, made me look back and try to pick out exactly what was happening in my life to trigger it. Once it was all said and done, reasons discovered and reactions explained, he ended it with this:
"I always tell people to never say they should be able to handle something just because someone else can. Everybody handles things differently, and just because it's easy for them doesn't mean it's easy for you. Don't compare yourself to others when what you can handle is purely subjective."
You know how sometimes you just hear something and you instantly think to yourself, "I needed to hear this today." That's how I felt when I heard that on Thursday.
I have always said that I should be able to handle my anxiety, panic and fears better because everyone else can. I feel like if 4 year olds can fly on an airplane, so should I. If my husband can handle a stomach bug, so should I. I find myself wondering what's wrong with me that makes it so I can't handle something so silly and simple?
The answer is nothing. Nothing is wrong with me, and nothing is wrong with you either. We are all different, all created with varying thresholds and limits, and we should never compare ourselves to others in that way.
No one can tell you what stresses you out or panics you. The only person who knows what pushes your buttons, makes you worry or scared, is you. Don't concern yourself with whether or not you're handling it as well as someone else, because you aren't them.
Emetophobia is tough that way. We see that there is an entire world filled with people who aren't scared of throwing up, and we go, "I should be able to handle this better because everyone else can."
But the fact of the matter is, you are handling it as well as YOU can, and that's all you should be focused on. We are all wired to have a window of normalcy, a little box that allows us to be within our limits of stress and anxiety free. Each box is going to be just slightly different, and that's just what makes us wonderful.
What might be a 9 to you, could be a 4 to someone else, but it doesn't mean that either person is wrong or right. They are just reacting to that situation the way they feel they should, and that's perfectly okay.
So the next time you're sitting at home and are upset because you think you should be able to handle something better because your seemingly calm, cool and collected coworker is doing just fine on that tight deadline while you pull out your hair, tell yourself that you aren't them and your feelings are justified. Take a step back, break down the situation and try to remember that you can handle this, and you will be just fine.
Not only are your feelings justified, but they are real and they are meaningful. Don't let someone else make you feel bad for your differences.
Just be proud, be brave and be you.
Until next time, Internet.
If you would like to email me, you can send any questions, concerns, comments or suggestions to email@example.com. I will do my best to respond to you within 48 hours, but if for some reason I cannot get back to you in that time frame, I promise I will always respond as soon as possible. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!
Lastly, I run an Emetophobia Support Group on Facebook. Emetophobia is the intense and irrational fear of throwing up, and it is one struggle I am passionately engaged in. The group is a closed, by request only group to help facilitate sharing and support by all members. It is also private, meaning that the posts you and others make will not show up publicly in your newsfeed.

Here are the tools. Best Glue Ever dries very fast. Use sparingly.
Trim off excess as needed to center the image you like.
Three inch round. You need 6 or 8.
Place your round flush to the top left corner.
Score at the half-inch mark.
Score again at the 2.5 inch mark.
Fold up one score line. Turn the circle 90 degrees. Place the fold flush against the rim of the Scoreboard.
Score again at 2.5 inch mark.
Score again at half-inch mark.
Fold all four sides upwards (towards right side).
Here are some more cut and folded rounds.
Tiny dots of glue are all that is needed with Best Glue Ever.
Best Glue Ever dries quickly, with just finger pressure. For another white glue, some paper clips or clothes pins would clamp the segments until they dry. You could also use glue stick. Will it last as long? I don't know.
Add a hanging string. I'm using a scrap piece of card to push the string into a line of glue.
Square in circle ornaments.
Here is an alternative, making triangles with the scoreboard - so much easier than having to measure!
Place the 3 inch round flush with the top left corner as before. Score at 3/4 inch.
Spin the circle, keeping it flush with the rims, and line the score up at the 3/4 inch mark.
I've illustrated with a pencil mark for this close up.
Score at the 3/4 inch mark.
Spin the round again and line up the score at 3/4 inch mark. Score again.
Note that the 3/4 inch score line meets the very first score at the bottom edge of the cut circle.
Fold on the three score marks, and glue as before.
Use 8 to make double ended pyramid globe - not sure how else to describe it.
Only four together make a small pyramid.
Hanging in the Camelia bush outside my house. I use these in my tree of course, and also to decorate gift boxes and wrapped gifts.

"We lay aside letters never to read them again, and at last destroy them out of discretion, and so disappears the most beautiful, the most immediate breath of life, irrecoverably for ourselves and for others."
– Goethe
In her recent exhibition at Shirin Gallery NY[i], Shadi Yousefian has created a visual narrative of recovering her personal letters and restoring what was destined to be lost.
Yousefian moved to the United States in 1995 when she was sixteen and until 1997 kept up a constant correspondence through handwritten letters with her family members and close friends. Ten years later she re-examined thick packages of letters that she had affectionately stored and realized that many of the events and details of the letters were not familiar to her anymore. She recalls: "The content of my correspondence were so deeply layered within hundreds of overlapping pages that their temporality remains an unordered flow- I could not remember what happened when, even as my own sense of identity and belonging has, in part, taken form through in the affective exchange."
Yousefian's act of recovery started when she reformatted the contents and form of the letters and gave a new life to them. By redacting, cutting, staining, gluing, nailing, and punching holes, she developed a ritualistic process which assigned a new meaning to her accumulated personal documents. To understand this process one must not only view all works on display in relationship to each other and experience the whole gestalt but also search for connections and meanings of each work within itself.
In her first attempts Yousefian cautiously deconstructed the letters by punching, cutting and nailing photocopies and later with more confidence she used the actual letters, still hesitant to interrupt their content, words and sentences. Gradually she detached herself from the content and concentrated on form. Long strips of paper glued on top of each other become small squares or circles meticulously nailed and positioned in grids.
Yousefian chose to start working on the letters of family and friends first and later she moved on to her own letters[ii]. She explains the emotional and aesthetic divide between her own letters and the other letters: "Where my friends' letters were mostly impassioned and joyful, my own reflected the sadness and strain of my early years in the United States. I manifested this melancholic distance by presenting my own letters bare and unstained, where I animated those from friends by staining their pages with the wine and tea we once shared."
It seems that Yousefian has tried to give the emotional voices of the letters a unified and rational form in order to sort out her own feelings and thoughts about them. For example in Untitled (above images), nails hold down fragments of letters that are cut in shape of small squares. Each squared specimen reveals a portion of a larger written content. In different handwritings, legible or illegible, rushed or controlled, pieces of various emotions are on display and the viewers can verbally and visually connect them together: "Hello…I am writing…I remember…congratulations…night…kiss…call me…joy…1377…try…I hope…life…photo…I laughed…I am sure…gradually…think…help…talk…"
Within this cohesive composition there is a tension between the materials and content. Colors of the papers, untouched or stained, are in natural tones of green, blue, sienna, ivory and white which are tranquil and quite yet they seem to move on the surface of the piece. Although the organic handwritten lines of letters are interrupted by cutting and pining and then neatly positioned in a mechanical grid, each square preserves its character and holds one or few words, which transfer a message or trigger a feeling.
Rows and rows of nine hundred nails compose a visual sound. One can imagine the loud and repetitive action which can also be meditative and centering when Yousefian was hammering them down. This rhythm also flows in the colors, shapes and patterns that are reminiscent of traditional Iranian tile and brick works in Shiraz and Isfahan.
In her exhibition Shadi Yousefian shares her thoughts and creative process by walking us through her rituals of realization (finding and re-reading the letters), selection (choosing specific parts of the letters), detachment (cutting the letters), manipulation (making something new with the letters), and reflection (re-examining the letters in a new format). She explains: "… 'Letters,' effects an intimate, indexical relation between my past and present; and shapes the intangible mesh of lives entwined across a distance into an architecture of lived experiences."

NOTICE: Many events listed here have been canceled or postponed due to the Covid-19 emergency. It is best to call ahead or check with organizer's websites to verify the status of any local event.
This event has been marked mature level 10 due to the following, "".
Laurie Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992, but her success as a childrens recording artist was a surprise to her. It was so unexpected, says Laurie. Id been performing in rock bands and struggling to write original music. Writing music for kids has not been a struggle at all. The more I started working on material for children, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had.These days critics widely acknowledge Lauries major contribution toward launching what is now dubbed the progressive kindie rock movement i.e. less saccharine, more rocking music that is not dumbed down for children. But it wasnt simply an enormous amount of talent that helped create an entire genre and skyrocketed Laurie to her current position as the queen of kids music (People magazine). It was an ability to gain parents enthusiasm for the songs as well. According to Laurie, When Im writing a song, Im thinking about whether the kids will like it and whether Im going to connect to them through it. Im also thinking about whether I want to sing it over and over again, so I guess thats the part that connects with adults. Old MacDonald Had a Farm is a great song for kids, but I couldnt sing it 100 times! While Laurie never planned to be a childrens performer, looking back on her career it almost seems inevitable. While growing up in Princeton, New Jersey, Laurie was always involved in music, whether singing in choirs, playing in bands, or performing in musical theater. In high school and throughout college (at Rutgers University), she toured Europe with several choirs and orchestras as a soloist and guitarist. After graduation, Laurie spent several years as a childrens music specialist at New York area preschool and day care centers. Working with children became the perfect creative outlet for Laurie to express her talents and create something that, she says, has turned out to be incredibly rewarding.The first recording artist ever to perform in music videos on Nick Jr., Laurie was featured in nearly all the episodes of the channels Jacks Big Music Show. Laurie recently created her own Audible Original Series titled Laurie Berkners Song and Story Kitchen. Her music videos appear regularly on NBCUniversals Sprout House and she is a familiar radio presence on SiriusXMs Kids Place Live. She maintains a busy touring schedule and has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the White House, among many prestigious venues.Laurie will release a new album on October 4, 2019 and has previously released twelve bestselling, award-winning albums: Whaddaya Think Of That (1997); Buzz Buzz (1998); Victor Vito (1999); Under A Shady Tree (2002); Rocketship Run (2008); The Best Of The Laurie Berkner Band (2010); A Laurie Berkner Christmas (2012); Laurie Berkner Lullabies (2014); The Ultimate Laurie Berkner Band Collection (2014); Laurie Berkners Favorite Classic Kids Songs (2015); Superhero (2016); and Laurie Berkner: The Dance Remixes (2017). Laurie has also released seven digital collections of her songs: Laurie Berkners Food Songs, Laurie Berkners Animal Songs, Laurie Berkners Transportation Songs, Laurie Berkners Classroom Favorites, Laurie Berkners Movement Songs, Laurie Berkners Nature Songs, and Love (a digital collection of favorite Laurie Berkner songs about all kinds of love).Lauries Two Tomatoes Records has co-released (with Razor & Tie Entertainment) two DVDs: We are . . . The Laurie Berkner Band (2006) and Party Day! (2011).Laurie has authored three picture books for Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, each based on one of her beloved songs: We Are the Dinosaurs, Pillowland, and Monster Boogie. Laurie previously authored four books based on her songs, including two Barnes & Noble NOOK Kids e-books. Venturing into the world of the theater Laurie has written music and lyrics for three Off-Broadway childrens musicals produced by New York City Childrens Theater: Wandas Monster (2013), The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess (2014), and Interstellar Cinderella (2017).Laurie continues to be inspired by her audience. I want to create songs that matter for children, she says. I was singing once and saw a four-year-old girl shut her eyes and start swaying to the music. I thought, Thats the reason I got into music. It keeps me wanting to do more.When shes not making music, Laurie enjoys visiting the farmers market for organic produce, knitting, biking and spending time with her husband, Brian, and their daughter, Lucy. They live in New York City.

Squad news
20 Jul 2015
The first team starts on Monday the final part of the pre-season. There are seven more friendly games on the schedule. Víctor Sánchez is still missing players in attack.
schedule. Víctor Sánchez is still missing players in attack.
The third and final part of Deportivos pre-season starts today. The team will continue to have two training sessions per day, but both sessions are now taking place at Abegondo. Also, the demand of the trainings is expected to be lower in a physical sense, because the idea is to increase the tactical work and combine it with the normal competition.
And its that Depor are going to play seven friendly matches in the next month before debuting in liga. After facing three clubs in lower leagues now the difficulty of the rival is increased and from now on it will face Primera or Segunda rivals, with the exception of the final game against Galicia de Mugardos, a Tercera rival that was put at the end as the calendar was delayed one week to what originally planned.
The calendar of games for the next weeks:
22/Jul/2015 SD Ponferradina vs Deportivo (20h30 CET)
25/Jul/2015 CD Lugo vs Deportivo (19h30 CET)
29/Aug/2015 Huddersfield Town vs Deportivo La Coruna (20h00 CET)
01/Aug/2015 Swansea City vs Deportivo (18h30 CET)
05/Aug/2015 Real Oviedo vs Deportivo (20h30 CET)
08/Aug/2015 Deportivo vs SC Braga (Teresa Herrera, 20h00 CET)
12/Aug/2015 Galicia Mugardos vs Deportivo (19h00 CET)
27 players are starting the third stage on the pre-season. Víctor is pending in the return of Celso Borges and also in making more signings, especially in attack, because the team has no natural wingers and only two strikers.
The players currently training at the first team:
Goalkeepers: Lux, Fabricio, Anxo Pérez & David Gómez
Defenders: Manuel Pablo, Fernando Navarro, Pablo Insua, Juanfran, Alejandro Arribas, Laure, Luisinho, Saúl García, Albert Lopo, Diego Seoane & Róber.
Midfielders: Álex Bergantiños, Juan Domínguez, Sergio Teles, Miguel Cardoso, Alex Corredera, Álvaro Queijeiro, Medunjanin & Óscar García.
Attackers: Luis Alberto, Oriol Riera, Luis Fernández & Dani Iglesias.
