Illinois Researchers Use PSC's Blacklight to Study Computer Trading on Wall Street
Using Supercomputers to Regulate How Supercomputers Buy and Sell Stocks
With access to supercomputing through the National Science Foundation, researchers are beginning to understand how ultra-fast computer trading is changing Wall Street.
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, October 4, 2012 — The increasing role of computers in Wall Street trading has gathered wide attention, including a September hearing before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Securities, Insurance and Investment. At that hearing, testimony cited a study — referring to it as "ground-breaking" — that a team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reported as "the first paper to explore the impact of high-frequency trading in a nanosecond environment."

I hope you enjoyed my Olympic blog post :) . Thank you to everyone who has left me lovely comments on my blog recently, it has made me smile :). Can't believe we are already half way through the week....where has it gone !? Feels only like yesterday that I was writing the last Feature Friday blog post!!
This week has been another busy one, I have sorted through a mountain of paperwork which wasn't the most exciting task but it was a really good feeling when I had finished! I have also ticked some things off my To Do list but every time I cross something off it seems like I add another few to dos on! With all this paperwork and chores my tea consumption seems to have gone through the roof!
On the 15th of August shall be my shop's first year anniversary on Etsy, so excited about that and how far I have come since first getting the business online. Thank you to everyone who has supported my little business :), I really appreciate it.
I found a wonderful video tonight which is of an artist who did a art installation in Singapore Art Museum. The installation included hand painting flowers and other designs onto the floors and columns using stencils.
If anyone is reading from Singapore, the exhibition is open until the 12th August so go and check it out!
I would really love this to be my bedroom, just put a lovely big bed in the middle of the room and it would brighten up any morning (even Monday mornings!!) by seeing this when you woke up. I think it is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
How amazing was that ?! Hope you enjoyed it :)

Habit Rouge
Father's Day Set
Elegance is the ultimate freedom
Indisponible -
For Father's Day, the Maison Guerlain celebrates spring and offers a range of perfume sets which design evokes an awakening and colorful nature.
This set contains an Eau de Toilette Habit Rouge 100 ml, a travel spray of the same fragrance 10 ml and Shower Gel Habit Rouge 75 ml.
Created in 1965, Habit Rouge was the first oriental fragrance for men in perfumery.
From the moment of its launch, this tribute to Guerlain's passion for the dressage of horses created an element of surprise with its scents of sensual and bold vanilla.
An oriental that is by turns citrusy, warm and accented with vanilla, it expresses the genius of contrast and well-mastered emotions.
Habit Rouge incarnates a man who is enamoured of refinement and capable of all manner of audacity.
He lives his life fervently and distinguishes himself with a trail of extreme sensuality.
With its modern geometry and mastery of form, Habit Rouge has an eternally elegant French appeal.
Bitterness becomes freshness, playing on refined harmonies of lime and bitter orange.
Its spicy, sophisticated heart, warmed by patchouli, rests on a base where leather mellows under the creamy caress of benzoin and vanilla with a rebellious touch.
Bitter Orange, Patchouli, Vanilla
The first oriental men's fragrance, Habit Rouge is considered at Guerlain to be the "Shalimar for men".
It is crafted around favourite materials (bergamot, vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean), which we find in the Guerlinade.
The Guerlinade, the sensual olfactory seal of Guerlain creations, gives Habit Rouge a perfectly inimitable style.

Bruins Take Game 1by Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh Penguins
The Boston Bruins did something in the postseason that they failed to do during the regular season – beat the Pittsburgh Penguins.
David Krejci scored two goals and Tuukka Rask made 29 saves for a shutout in a 3-0 blanking of the Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final Saturday night at CONSOL Energy Center.
But the game was much closer than the final score would indicate. The Penguins were dominant through the first half of the game, but failed to get a puck into the net – although they did rack up a couple posts in the process.
"We hit the post and had some pretty good chances. We had some bounces and unfortunately they didn't go our way. We can improve in certain areas and make sure we're better, but at the end of the day we did some good things, but have to put the puck in the net."
The Bruins struck first when Krejci's shot went off the skate of Paul Martin and skidded through the pads of Tomas Vokoun halfway through the first period. The Penguins were completely in control of that game until that point. That's when the play seemed to shift in the Bruins' favor.
Pittsburgh's passes – which were so crisp in the first half of the game – weren't connecting. The Penguins' frustration started to mount. And finally things erupted at the end of the second period a few scrums and a fight featuring star centers Evgeni Malkin and Patrice Bergeron.
"That's the stuff that they're better at than we are and we'll want to stay away from," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "That stuff happens. You just move on."
The NHL's leading scorer Krejci gave the Bruins some insurance with his second goal of the game and sixth of the postseason four minutes into the second period after finding a rebound and batting it in.
Nathan Horton made it 3-0 Boston when he was uncovered at the side of the net and Milan Lucic found him with a pass. He buried it for the easy score.
The Penguins tried to force the issue offensively at that point, but it played right into the Bruins' hands.
"We played right into it," Orpik said. "Once we were down a couple goals we started forcing plays through the neutral zone. That's where they're the best, in the neutral zone and creating turnovers."
Despite the setback, the Penguins know this game could have gone either way. It's a long series and they're preparing for Game 2 Monday night.
"I thought we could have been up 2-0 early as well. It's just one of those games that didn't go our way early," Orpik said. "They took advantage of their chances."
"It's one game," Vokoun said. "It's a best of four series. We're going to regroup."

It's barely six o'clock in the morning and I begin to hear the hustle and bustle of thirty children getting ready to go to school. I stumble my way out of the mosquito net that surrounds the bed. The bed is made up of two or three long cushions that are usually placed on a wooden frame. In this case, a handful of cushions have been stacked on each other on the concrete floor. The rainy season and the leaky metal roof has made it so they are damp and sometimes smell of mold.
The noise outside continues as I reach for my glasses and peek out the door across the courtyard where the kids are running around taking care of last-minute details or eating their rice porridge breakfast. Some of the boys have not managed to get into their school uniforms yet while the girls were helping each other with their hair. As the breakfast bowls are put down, the kids make their way to the back of an old pickup truck. Some of the older kids drive off on mopeds, while others drive off on their bicycles. As the pickup truck drives away there is a silence left behind that reflects the mist of the early morning that has settled on the orphanage.
Since I arrived in Chiang Rai the weather has shown to manifest in any one of the variations of rain. From light drizzles to pouring monsoons, the season is wet. Your senses adjust to the diffused daylight and the moist air. This afternoon, for just a couple of minutes, the heavy clouds part to make way for the sun. The sun brings a bright, lovely color – painting the landscape in vibrancy. This experience is best described by the sensation of taking off very dark sunglasses after wearing them all day. The contrast was such that it felt feels like a different place all-together. Moments like this increases my appreciation of the simple things I often overlook.
I fall asleep with the sounds of heavy raindrops hitting the metal roof of the men's dorm. The evening sky just finished an encore performance. A fantastic show of lightning and thunder that keeps replaying in my mind as I close my eyes. As I feel sleep take over my consciousness, a large dense fruit falls from a nearby tree. The fruit bounces off of the metal roof causing a very loud noise that echos within the small shack. I smile as I am reminded I am not home anymore.

So I've got to admit, this looks cool. But one question, what the crap is the difference between this and Guitar Hero World Tour? (Yes I realize it has song creation. But with no vocals who cares?) Maybe if they worked together on one game rather than making two clones this would be even cooler than it already is. While the price tag is looking to be something like $180, with wireless drums it actually looks worth it this time around. So…uhh…for the one guy in the world that hasn't played Rock Band, is there a solo campaign for the drums?
A Cheaper 360!
Yep, this is true. Saw it in the Best Buy ad today. You can now get the 20gb 360 for only $300. But seriously, has anyone not boughten one yet? 🙂

The 19th Amendment
In 1920, the adoption of the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. When the Constitution was adopted in 1789, the right to vote, or suffrage, was restricted to certain groups of people. Among this group were men, those who were wealthy or owned property, and Caucasians.
The women's suffrage movement began in 1848, with a convention in New York. The Seneca Falls convention was called by two women, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Stanton was later president of two prominent suffrage organizations, the National Women Suffrage Association and the National American Woman Suffrage Association. A Declaration of Sentiments, similar to the Declaration of Independence, was introduced at the suffrage convention.
Suffrage for women had many opponents, mostly men. The men believed that women could not represent themselves as well as
their husbands because they were thought to be less intelligent. Some also believed that it would destroy family life.
Support for suffrage really took off after the 15th Amendment, which allowed blacks to vote, was adopted. In 1872, Susan B. Anthony and several other women were arrested for voting in the presidential election. Anthony attracted national attention at her trial with a moving speech which ending with her famous quote "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."
By the next century, new, more conservative, leaders like Carry Catt and Maud Park found support from middle class women. They lobbied congress and used marches, pickets, and protests to gain more support. Some suffragettes went so far as to stage hunger strikes. Others purposefully got arrested and sent to jail.
By 1918, the suffragettes had gained the support of President Woodrow Wilson. The House of Representatives and Senate soon followed. As the thirty-sixth state to pass the amendment, Tennessee became the state that finally attained...

"Access violation reading location 0x00000000" using yadif/libavfilter on MSVC++
|Reported by:

|Analyzed by developer:
Running the attached self compiling sample (copied from here, not really part of FFmpeg, it does use the libavfilter interface to do yadif deinterlacing on the FILENAME video) it's giving me "Unhandled exception at 0x6d783c8b in Test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000." using ffmpeg *.dlls with MSVC++ (recent build here). It seems raicy, because it happens always without brekpoints, but sometimes it barely works stepping into it, but no threading involved (I guess). May it be alignment problems as some reported here?

Forgot, the error triggers on avfilter_poll_frame() or avfilter_request_frame() functions.
comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by cehoyos
Is the problem also reproducible without MSVC++?
(And if not, why not?)
comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by fpretto
Because of the raicy nature of the problem (it triggers almost always, but sometimes it works), and threading seems not involved (I just use blocking functions), I have suspects it's a stack alignment problem (citing here, "ffmpeg.exe (compiled with gcc) aligns main() to 16 bytes and the whole library maintains alignment. Code compiled with MSVC++ only aligns to 4 bytes. The library maintains the alignment, but doesn't realign to 16 bytes"). I'd like to test it with gcc but I don't have a build env ready to compile latest ffmpeg and all its dependencies. If you don't have any other hint I'll probably try to install a gentoo in a VM, compile ffmpeg and test there.

Really seems alignment problems. Here is the disassembly were libavfilter crashes:

Maybe libavfilter is not aligning aware like other parts of ffmpeg (looking around I saw ffmpeg must use its allocation functions internally)? Just decoding seems ok here. Sorry but can't debug more if not teached how to do so.

Recompiling ffmpeg with --disable-sse and --disable-ssse3 fixes the problem here.
For some Euros, I may be interested in bounting the fix of this bug (ref[1])
Oh, I have found another possible bug (assertion failed). Just suppose I have the same filter chain: src_buffer and yadif. If I don't insert the first frame on src_buffer (so the buffer is empty) and I immediately poll the output link of yadif filter, I get:
Assertion failed!
Program: C:\Users\ceztko\Staging\target\Debug\Test.exe
File: libavfilter/vf_yadif.c, Line 277
Expression: yadif->next
...and the executable quits.

Please open a new ticket for the assertion you discovered (the command line is most important).
Does the crash you see (with --enable-sse) happen with ffmpeg (the executable) or only with your MSVC application?

Replying to cehoyos:
Please open a new ticket for the assertion you discovered
(the command line is most important).
It's not a problem with ffmpeg.exe, but with the api: maybe it's debatable but with src_buffer empty, polling yadif for frames should just return 0 IMO, not failing. Will create a new ticket later with explanation and references to this bug.
Does the crash you see (with --enable-sse) happen with ffmpeg (the executable)
or only with your MSVC application?
I wasn't able to reproduce with ffmpeg.exe (that's compiled with gcc). I think ffmpeg is doing the same thing with filter chains, tough.

c++ sample, gcc compatible. gcc --> ok, MSVC --> crash
comment:8 in reply to: ↑ 6 Changed 9 years ago by fpretto
Replying to cehoyos:

ffmpeg (the executable) or only with your MSVC application?
I verified the problem is compiler specific testing it in gcc.
The attacched (test.tar.bz2) c++ sample works in gcc with SSE extensions enabled. With MSVC++ --> crash. It just need a (possibly interlaced) video to be set in the
Test.cpp source.
Follows compile instructions:
Reflect include/ and /lib dirs to the correct headers and
shared objects locations of ffmpeg
g++ -c -o libav.o -Iinclude/ -DSTDC_CONSTANT_MACROS libav.cpp
g++ -c -o Test.o -Iinclude/ -DSTDC_CONSTANT_MACROS Test.cpp

Replying to cehoyos:
So am I correct that this is not a FFmpeg problem or do I misunderstand?
I guess it's a memory alignment related problem as other fixed in
ffmpeg in the past (optimized SSE code is expecting to find data
aligned in the memory, but maybe yadif/libavfilter don't take
safeguards to enforce this), but can't confirm this because I don't
have the required assembly expertise. I realize that this problem is
hard to debug if the devs don't have the platform that triggers the
problem, but please don't mark this as "not our problem" until you are
really sure.

All you must know about Premium Beautiful
Premium Beautiful is simply incredible…! No other corsets are equal to Premium Beautiful because of its benefits towards health (70%) and beauty (30%).
A set of Premium Beautiful consists of a Long Bra, a Waist Nipper and a Long Girdle.
Long Bra
Long Girdle
Waist Nipper
Premium Beautiful is exceptional due to the Far Infrared Rays (FIR) embedded in its fabric.
Far Infrared Ray are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions. FIR is a longer wave beneficial to humans and living things
(4 - 1000 microns).
FIR Benefits:
1) Far Infrared expands capillaries which stimulates and increase blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation.
2) Far Infrared is excellent for detoxification. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood.
3) Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism. One hour under the Hot house improves metabolism. FIR heat aids in breaking down cellulite - trapped water, fat and waste.
4) Far Infrared may induce the killing of varied pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
5) Far Infrared promotes rebuilding of injured tissue by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA syntheses, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.
6) Far Infrared relieves nervous tension and relax autoneuro muscles thereby helping the body make the most of its intended healing abilities. FIR reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms, as muscle fibers are heated.
7) Far Infrared strengthens the Immune System by stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes) by the bone marrow and killer T-cells by the thymus.
8) Far Infrared strengthens the Cardiovascular System by causing heart rate and cardiac output increase, and diastolic blood pressure decrease - Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980's led to the conclusion that far infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.
Why every woman should own a Premium Beautiful?
1. Premium Beautiful helps to reduce body weight. It helps to distribute fat layers to all parts of the body evenly. Premium Beautiful is designed to shape a woman's body to PERFECTION..!
2. A bra type or its design can influence how the breasts are shaped. Many women choose their bras wrongly, hence the breasts become saggy and unattractive. Premium Beautiful Long Bra will help to set breasts to the right positions.
The U-shape at the back of Long Bra has to help distribute the fatty layer at the back of body so you will not have flabby layers. You wouldn't want 'third breast' behind your back, would you?
3. Premium Beautiful is able help to reduce back pain and pain due to slip disc.
4. Premium Beautiful is suitable during confinement and for nursing mothers.
5. Reduces cellulites and stretch marks on the skin.
6. The effect of wearing Premium Beautiful is equivalent to 'bertangas'. It aids wounds to heal better and faster, this is very beneficial to women after delivery. 'Bertangas' is a traditional Malay method performed by women after delivery. One of the benefits of 'bertangas' is to help and improve the healing of the wounds. You don't have to 'bertangas' nowadays. You just have to wear Premium Beautiful..!
7. Removes toxin from the body system.
8. Improves skin condition. Premium Beautiful is perfect for women with acne problems.
9. Good for people with piles or hemorrhoids.
10. Reduces the pre-menstrual symptoms.
11. Suitable to be worn during exercise. Premium Beautiful can help to quicken weight loss

When I started to plan our wedding I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. Well, I didn't.
Sometime in the middle of summer I realized I have no idea how I actually want our wedding day to look like. So I just kind of went with it and trusted my instincts, tried not to complicate, and simplify the preparations as much as possible. For once in my life I went with the flow instead of swimming upstream, and then there was magic.
Our wedding day was truly the wedding of my dreams. It was everything I ever wished for, it was so much more than I could possibly imagine. It really was magic. The light, the smiles, the love. I felt purified by the presence of my family and friends, and filled with serenity and sunlight by saying 'yes' to my husband.
My husband. I admire and respect you, always have and always will. Your warmth brings me peace, your smile comfort, and your arms safety. I will love you, always and forever, I will treasure your heart as I do my own, I will be your light even in the darkest of places. I am so grateful to be able to wake up with you, and fall asleep in your arms. We really are soulmates, there is nothing I believe more than that.
In the morning I woke up in my old bed, in my old room at my mom's place. Žiga was at our house, getting ready there.
At 7 the doorbell rang for the first time. It was the filmer, then the florist, then the photographers, hairdressers, my maid of honor. The morning turned into a huge party - having coffee & croissants, dancing and singing around the house we were sitting in the car on our way to the wedding in no time! That's when I realized. I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY! T O D A Y! Like, right now! The feeling was indescribable, overwhelming.
11:00, walking down the isle with my grandfather, trying not to cry (tears of happiness!). Breathing in the moment, living inside it - forever. I cannot talk about the ceremony because there are no words do describe how it felt. It was sunlight. We said yes.
After the ceremony we had some food, took thousands of photos, and just really enjoyed the time we were spending together. Then, we had our first dance, my mom did some fortune telling (she has a gypsy habit of doing that, I feel it's half for fun, but the other half is real as you and I are), and we all had a great time. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful souls, and even more, to call them family. I am grateful to and for every single one of them, and cherish them deeply in my heart. There was so much love that day. Everywhere.
Ok ok, now let me show you some photos! I know you've all been waiting for this :D And so you have another thing to look forward to: there's a video coming soon!!
Talk soon,

The Pet Dragon
23 August 14
Christoph Niemann's The Pet Dragon is an excellent introduction to the pictographic elements of the Chinese alphabet. Although it's a simple story, the illustrations demonstrate 33 Chinese characters that are related to the physical attributes of the word they convey.
As a graphic designer, one of my professional inspirations is Christoph Niemann who demonstrates an artistic versatility and cultural wit in his work which is regularly published by the New York Times. I've followed his career for years and knew about this book when it was first published in 2008. Soon afterwards, I sent it to my sister's family in Hong Kong to assist in their cultural appreciation of the Chinese-language characters around them.
The book lacks a pronunciation guide, and Niemann has expressed that he didn't ever mean for The Pet Dragon to be an introduction to Chinese. Instead, he wanted to illustrate the connection between the pictograms and their meanings, whetting the readers' appetite to learn more of the language through other sources.
The Pet Dragon also serves as a fantastic introduction to the wider ideas of hieroglyphics and other cultures that use pictograms or non-Latin characters. J.R.R. Tolkien created his own Elvish characters for Tengwar, and my girls have loved making up their own secret writings as well.
We've been preparing for our trip to China for months. Originally we were going to visit our extended family who reside there, but in the last month they've relocated elsewhere. However, our family's recent immersion in Chinese-language programs, stories and books means that although our time in Beijing is now cut short, we'll be able to appreciate more of the cultural aspects of the world's current super-power.
Perhaps because of Niemann's celebrity, The Pet Dragon remains widely available online and in bookstores. It's great for any household with an interest in design, languages, Asian culture or travel.

Texas head women's track and field coach Bev Kearney has resigned following an investigation of an "intimate consensual relationship" with "a student-athlete in her program," according to a statement released by UT vice president for legal affairs Patti Ohlendorf on Saturday.
"Coach Kearney is a good person and has been very important to the University," Ohlendorf said in the statement. "However, she made this terrible mistake and used unacceptably poor judgment in having this relationship."
Kearney was placed on paid administrative leave in November for then-undisclosed reasons and it was revealed in an Associated Press report that women's athletics director Chris Plonsky asked UT President William Powers Jr. to give her a pay raise before the investigation began.
According to the statement, the investigation showed that Kearney began this relationship with the student-athlete "about 10 1/2 years ago" and ended it "about eight years ago." When Kearney was told that the University was preparing to terminate her, she decided to resign.
"The University determined that it no longer was appropriate for Coach Kearney to serve as head coach to work directly with our student-athletes," Ohlendorf said in the statement. "We cannot condone such an intimate relationship, including one that is consensual, between a head coach and a student-athlete. We told Coach Kearney such a relationship is unprofessional and crosses the line of trust placed in the head coach for all aspects of the athletic program and the best interests of the student-athletes on the team."
Kearney's resignation was first reported by the Austin American-Statesman, who spoke with the former Longhorns track coach in an exclusive interview that took place in the office of Kearney's attorney, Derek A. Howard.
"You destroy yourself. You start questioning how could you make such a judgment," Kearney told the Statesman. "How could you make such an error after all the years? You can get consumed [by it] ... It's been a difficult challenge for me simply because I have to forgive myself for making an error. I didn't commit a crime, but I displayed poor judgment."
Kearney had been the head women's track and field coach since 1993, leading the Longhorns to six national championships — three indoor and three outdoor — during her 20-year tenure. She was named her conference's coach of the year 16 times and guided Texas to 14 straight top-10 finishes at the NCAA Outdoor Championships between 1994 and 2007, a previously unprecedented feat. Kearney was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2007.
"It's a shame that this remarkably talented female African-American coach, who has devoted her life to helping others, is being bullied and scapegoated by the University of Texas," Howard told the Statesman in a statement. "We believe that Ms. Kearney has been subjected to a double standard and has received far harsher punishment than that being given to her male counter-parts who have engaged in similar conduct."
The identity of the former student-athlete that Kearney is said to have previously had an intimate relationship with was not revealed.
"As a public University, we are committed to transparency and disclosure," Ohlendorf said in the statement. "We also have a responsibility to our students to follow the strict federal laws that are designed to protect their privacy. The University will not identify the former student-athlete. We respect her privacy and appreciate her cooperation during our review."
Rose Brimmer, who has spent eight seasons as an assistant coach under Kearney, will take over as interim head women's track and field coach while Stephen Sisson, who has been an assistant women's track and field coach at Texas since 2006, will take on "expanded duties" in Kearney's absence.
Published on January 14, 2013 as "Questions remain after Kearney's resignation".

Nick Shady
Independent Candidate
for the Federal Seat of Ballarat
I am committed to Ballarat and will fight for both federal and local issues that are important to our community.
The Ballarat Electorate has been forgotten by the ruling government of the day. With a current strong Federal member since 2001, Ballarat seems likely to miss out on any new federally allocated funds due to the nature of being a very safe seat.
My Platform
As a country we have lost control of our sovereignty. Unfortunately we have lost control of our natural resources; coal, LNG and now agricultural companies are becoming foreign owned and controlled. It seems like the horse has bolted and the next generations are going to pay for the short-minded mistakes of all previous governments, that have allowed this to happen.
Australia is in a position where we value what we have and that we are very lucky compared to other countries around the world. To continue our quality of life for our families now and in the future, we must act to protect what we have now.
I am concerned that the next government will inherit a slowing economy, reducing property prices and increased national debts. We need act sooner rather than later as new policies will affect all our society as future governments will have no option but to introduce and inheritance tax and increase the GST. This will be at the detriment of the whole community by increasing the cost of living, which we are all experiencing each year.
Here are what I think are the key issues affecting our Ballarat and our Community
· Banning Coal & Gas exports (which would include stopping the new Adani mine)
· Stop offshore gas and oil exploration (especially in Bass Strait)
· Halt current immigration levels until infrastructure catches up to the population growth (Melton Highway and Western Highway duplications)
· Investigate the overly generous parliamentary pension scheme, no early drawing of pensions to be in line with the rest of the population
· Deliver all of the recommendations of the Banking Royal Commission, especially removing trailing commissions on the mortgage broking industry
· Investigate why the foreign owned companies that operate in Australia pay so little taxation
· Phase out employment agencies that operate in our employment space, this would potentially reduce the casualization of our workforce
· Allow public service agencies to be run by the public service, NOT like the current situation where we have organisations like SERCO contracted to run public services
· Specific inquiry into the Suicide rate in the Ballarat region; an immediate installation of services and help for survivors of clergy abuse, and a regional well-being hub for people that are suffering health issues
· Reduce the gaming machine numbers in the Ballarat region by 10% per year; society cannot afford the continued financial losses from our community
What I offer as a candidate
As an Independent Candidate for the Federal Election in 2019, here is what I have to offer our electorate:
25 Years Business Experience
For the last 25 years, I have run a broadacre cropping farm. During this time, I have developed a range of people, strategic management, and financial skills that would be useful as a member of parliament.
Mental Health Advocate
I am passionate about mental health in our community. We have one of the higest suicide rates in the country. I am a qualified Telephone Counsellor and was on the Steering Committee for The Ripple Effect project.
A Local that Loves Our Town
We are blessed to live in one the best places in the world (though in winter I definitely miss the sunshine). I am committed to making Ballarat and the region better!
I am running as an Independent Candidate in the 2019 Federal Election because like many people, I am disillusioned with the major parties. As an Independent Candidate, I can speak freely about important issues in our community.
About me…
Let's Get Personal
Being a Dad
The birth of my son was the best thing that has ever happened to me. My son, Spencer, is seven and he is the most loving person I know. He is mad about beyblades so here we are in hideous matching shirts with some of his newer beys.
I cook a mean schnitzel at home (according to Spencer), but other than that, cooking is not my speciality. I like to eat out and Ballarat has some great restaurants and cafes.
While I no longer farm with my brother, I am always there if he needs a hand, and vice-versa. My family live on farms in Skipton and surrounding areas.
Ok, I will admit to having binged watched some Netflix shows.
We have two dogs, Holly the Jack Russell, and Cutie the Border Collie.
Like what I stand for? Help my campaign!

Why do manufactured homes cost less than stick built?
You might think that the affordable cost of your manufactured home is due to shoddy construction or off-brand materials. Really, nothing could be farther from the truth. Manufactured homes cost less than traditional stick builds for a few reasons. One is that these homes are built in a controlled factory setting, so workers don't have to battle the weather and other restrictions during construction. This allows for much faster and more efficient construction.
Another reason is that building materials—often the same exact materials used to construct stick builds—can be purchased in bulk, which saves the manufacturer and, ultimately, you, on material costs. Finally, manufactured homes are built to the same HUD standards as regular stick builds, so you never have to worry about the quality or safety of your manufactured home.
Another reason to go with Home Nation, is that we can find you financing for your manufactured home. Most manufactured home dealers won't do this, instead leaving you to fund it yourself. We work closely with several lenders, and can make that process much easier. Just fill out the form on our Financing Page to see if you're eligible for one of our very competitive loans. If you're looking for mobile homes in TX, getting your home funded shouldn't be the obstacle between you and a new home, we can often finance our buyers, even with low credit scores.
If you're located in Johnson City, Texas, and need a local lender for manufactured homes in TX, we can help you out. Contact us today to find the perfect lender, and get you payments you can work with.

I am not sure about this one:
If you learn a talent with a hotkey it uses an item or ability with no target you have bound on that button if you have a quickcast on and 'Quickcast on Key Down' off. It also works if you learn an ability using O>Hotkey with the same conditions (doesn't work with leveling it up).
Repro Steps:
1)Bind an item slot or ability quickcast to a key;
2)Put a no target usable item in that slot or get a hero with no target ability on that button;
3)Get level 10;
4)Press your 'Learn Ability' hotkey (default O);
5)Learn a talent with the hotkey you're testing.
1)Bind an ability quickcast to a key;
2)Pick a hero with a no target ability on this key;
3)Press your 'Learn Ability' hotkey (default O);
4)Learn the ability you are testing (doesn't work with leveling it up).
After you let go of the button you used to level up your talent or ability you will cast your ability/use your item.
Expected Result:
You should learn the talent/ability and nothing should be cast after you let go
This behaviour doesn't make sense and is harmful gameplay-wise, but I can see if this is intended. It is similar to having an ability or item with cast target on alt+hotkey, holding alt when you pick a target and a ping going through at the same time with that command.

I just installed HiDrive on a dev-computer and wanted to login using my credentials, however HiDrive only showed me a list of webservice-functions. The even stranger thing is that these functions are from a local webservice I created some time ago using the software Intrexx.
What ports is HiDrive using and can I reconfigure HiDrive to use other ports for this kind of communication?

I recently had to call Dell, because we had one drive fail and then three others go into "predictive failure" mode during the rebuild on a PowerVault MD1000. The 14 disks were in RAID 5 with two hotspares (this predates me, put your nooses and torches away. The box now runs RAID 6 with 1 hot spare).
While Dell was doing their normal routine diagnostics before shipping out 4 disks to me, they informed me that my array had a "punctured stripe." Punctured stripe? What the heck is that, I asked? They proceeded to explain how RAID 5 works with striping and parity, which I already knew. Then they said that in large volumes sometimes during a rebuild the stripe punctures because of inconsistent parity data and the whole volume needs to be completely re-initialized and restored from backup. "Oh, so you mean it's a URE?" "A what?" "An unrecoverable read error during the rebuild." "Um, I guess?"
The Dell storage "engineer" had never heard of a URE - which is an industry standard term! Upon further googling, it seems that Dell support is really the only company that uses this term. I had to make two follow up calls and got two different engineers and every single one said "punctured stripe." If there is an industry standard term for something, please don't try and coin a new phrase! It confuses your customers and makes us think that your storage engineers are clueless, because they don't know them.

Respect and Responsibility
As the new year has begun, I have been fortunate to attend a number of assemblies in Junior, Middle and Senior School. Many of these were year group meetings and it was pleasing to hear the messages that were being shared with the boys by senior staff.
Without exception, the key elements being stressed revolved around respect and responsibility. As our boys grow into young men, we need to give them greater responsibility for their own lives, as well as allowing them to share the responsibility for the type of community in which we live. Self-respect is a key element in this, as is respect for others and respect for our environment.
We live in a world where the concept of respect is being challenged. Having - and showing - respect is sometimes difficult when we are presented with opinions that contradict our world view. It is also challenging when the language used is aggressive, inflammatory, demeaning, rude or incites people to behave in a way that contradicts our values. It is perhaps the inherent contradiction within western society that freedom of speech means giving people the right to speak out against free speech and to undermine the society which is built upon it.
If we respect ourselves and our society, I think we have an obligation to understand why people have opinions which contradict our own. We have to find a way to counter their point of view by doing exactly what they will not or cannot - by showing respectful determination to defend our position; respect for ourselves, if for no-one else. Maya Angelou put it quite perfectly: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." The best way to counter the arguments of extremists is to make sure we do not become them. And whilst as a society we may sometimes need to resort to drastic measures to counter extremism, we must always be willing to listen and try to understand in order to protect the freedoms we cherish. The triumph of western civilisation, if there is one, lies in our willingness to put our values under the microscope and defend them robustly by word and deed. We begin this process in schools by treating each other with respect, and by questioning and discussing things in a respectful way.
With the start of the year, I remind parents that we have access to SchoolTV, which is a unique digital wellbeing platform targeted at parents. It covers a wide array of topics relevant to young people (for example, Depression, Anxiety, Online Pornography, Social Media and, most recently, Coping with Year 12) and draws its material from a variety of sources. Many of these topics relate to both Primary and Secondary aged children. The material is presented in short, easy-to-manage chunks, often a short video. You can access the SchoolTV archive here: http://scotch.wa.schooltv.me/category-latest-newsletter. Alternatively, you can go to home.SCOTCH and search for SchoolTV or Wellbeing.
Throughout the year, Relationships Australia run a number of courses at different locations around Perth. Some of these are presented over several weeks; others take 2 ½ hours. Many revolve around communication skills and managing difficult emotions; different courses aim to support blended families and single-parent families. You can find a list of these here.
Maggie Dent is presenting a seminar at the Telethon Speech and Hearing Centre in Wembley on 15 February on "The Importance of Calmness, Silence and Stillness in Children's Lives". She is an engaging presenter and this is an important topic in today's world. More information can be found here.

March 2015 AIMCAL Award
Hazen served as metallizer for the project and assisted with package design along with Acushnet and converter Curtis Packaging, Sandy Hook, CT. The project involves three-ball sleeves and 12-ball cartons for global distribution of three Titleist brands: NXT® Tour S, DT® Solo and VG3®. An improved transfer coating Hazen calls Enhanced™ Envirofoil® offers better scuff resistance and printability. The harder polymer in the upgraded coating contains no volatile organic compounds. According to Hazen, Enhanced Envirofoil has a high dyne level (more than 50) and is twice as scuff resistant as other transfer-metallized papers. New Titleist graphics focus on the chrome-like brightness of the transfer-metallized surface. In fact the brightness of the surface registers 850 on a Gardner Gloss meter (on a scale of 1 to 1,000), significantly above other transfer-metallized substrates. In addition, packaging for the VG3 balls features prominent embossing that is more distinct than that seen on other transfer-metallized packaging. The graphics on each Titleist package also includes a Hazen-Lens™ holographic hot-stamp as well as covert security features.
Judges were impressed by the scope of the project, the shelf impact of the sleeves and cartons and the integration of technologies including high-quality printing, registered Hazen-Lens™ holography, spot varnishes, embossing and built-in windows. "There's almost a 3D effect," noted one judge. "The packaging imparts the message that it is a premium product," added another member of the panel.

I have blogged about the bootstrap datepicker earlier. Here is the link
I personally find that is pretty annoy after you select the date, the calendar popup doesn't disappear.
So I put some extra code in the on change event, to hide it.
$('#SelectedDate').datepicker({ format: "dd/mm/yyyy" }).on('changeDate', function (ev) { $(this).blur(); $(this).datepicker('hide'); });
If you don't set blur(), the textbox will not lose focus and if you click the textbox again, the calendar popup will show.
And then hide the datepicker.
So what I have done here, is lose the focus and hide it.

Finding public sector success stories in Africa is rare, which explains why many African governments have resorted to full scale privatization. Against this context, the story of Dr. William Muhairwe, and how he turned around a failing government parastatal offers a real-world window into what really ails Africa.

By Jason Barry, CBS 5
PHOENIX (CBS5) -About 116,000 Maricopa County voters filled out a provisional ballot Tuesday and most of those ballots are still sitting in the county recorder's office yet to be counted.
Sam Wercinski, with the non-partisan Arizona Advocacy Network Foundation, had hundreds of poll watchers stationed across the state on Election Day.
Wercinski told CBS5 that poll workers in several precincts were not prepared to handle the big crowds, so when a problem popped up they simply offered up a provisional ballot instead of addressing individual voter needs.
"In many poll locations the poll workers were put in the middle of a very chaotic situation because of the volume of first-time voters," said Wercinski. "The common advice provided for voters who didn't have proper ID or who's name didn't appear in the signature roster was to go stand in the other line and get a provisional ballot."
Concerns have also been raised that there weren't enough poll workers in busy precincts, which only added to the voter confusion, said Wercinski.
Bob Brewer was a poll inspector at a Phoenix precinct.
He said they could have used a bigger staff, but disputes the claim that poll workers weren't trained properly or didn't follow proper procedure.
According to Brewer, voters deserve much of the blame for the election day chaos by not coming to the polls prepared.
"If you're going to go on a long trip it's up to you to make sure your gas tank is full," said Brewer. "We're in this together and public has to realize their responsibility."
Election officials said that every legitimate ballot will be counted.
In addition to the 116,000 provisional ballots Maricopa County also has 237,359 early ballots.
County officials said they counted more than 62,000 early ballots Thursday and the counting process will continue on Friday.
In 2008, there were approximately 100,000 provisional ballots, which election officials said is comparable to the number in 2012.

RFID-Driven Offerings Include Hidden Smart Lock for Display Cases And Retrofit Solution To Protect and Easily Sell Jewelry, Consumer Electronics
SANTA FE SPRINGS, California, March 28, 2017 – Additions to the Senseon™ Secure Access Control System announced today, broaden the ability of this keyless, cabinet-level, electronic locking system to help high-end and consumer electronics retailers both improve loss prevention and enhance the customer experience.
"Designers and operators of retail jewelry, boutique, and consumer electronics stores face a two-pronged dilemma: protecting merchandise and having products available for customers to touch and feel," said Senseon Solutions Marketing Director Greg Rewers. "In response to their needs, we have expanded Senseon into a more adaptable and effective electronic locking system for protecting merchandise in cabinets and making it easily available for staff to create a superior shopping experience for customers."
Rewers added: "Building on more than half a century of trusted experience and patented technology, our new products offer innovative ways for jewelry, consumer electronics, and boutique retailers to take advantage of the benefits of in-store shopping. Retailers can now have peace of mind when displaying high-value merchandise like necklaces, watches, and smartphones on the sales floor. This gives retailers the benefit of flexibility and closes the sales cycles to retain customers and enhance their overall experience."
A highlight of Senseon's latest offerings is a highly-functional electronic lock (5EL) ideal for securing and releasing sliding doors in display cases. The lock works with doors of glass, wood or any other material. The 5EL can be easily concealed into virtually any design in a number of ways.
Senseon locks are up to 400% stronger than traditional, mechanical locks. Yet Senseon locks are invisible to customers and thieves, enabling sleek furniture design.
Retailers with existing cabinets and fixtures can also benefit from the Senseon electronic locking system. The new 10EL side-mount drawer catch enables existing cabinetry with drawer slides with at least a half-inch profile to be retrofitted for a Senseon upgrade.
Also new at Senseon are:
- 3135ECEL: A hidden, commercial grade undermount drawer slide with integrated electronic lock with an easy-close feature.
- 38TREL: A side-mount drawer slide with integrated electronic lock and touch-release feature.
Introduced by Accuride® International in September 2016, Senseon uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and patented locking technology to transform how commercial establishments safeguard and manage access to contents in cabinets, improving security and risk management procedures.
About Senseon™ Secure Access Control System
The Senseon™ Secure Access Control System is the smart successor to the traditional lock and key for cabinetry in high-end and consumer electronics stores and other commercial environments. This keyless, cabinet-level, electronic secure access locking system uses RFID to provide greater security and efficiency while enhancing the customer experience for increased sales. Senseon is built on patented, proven technology from Accuride® International, a world-leading global designer and manufacturer of movement solutions for businesses, offering over 50 years of experience.

Been a little bit quite around here, hasn't it? With all the excitement/exhaustion involved in moving house, I missed July's Garden Share Collective. Although at some point soon, I'll be finding time to visit the other gardeners who did make the deadline and see what's happening in their gardens around the world. Why not pour yourself a coffee, pull up a chair and join me in a bit of horticultural globe hopping?
Now that the move is done, something approximating to normality is starting to settle in again. Normality in a new house and a new garden. Would you like a wee look at the garden? There's plenty of scope for new projects and trying new ideas.
There's a lot of grass… and a lot of conifers. Some of each will stay, some of each will go to make, space for my favourites – nectar rich flowers and edibles. This is the veggie patch at the moment –
Check back next year for progress. If nothing else, I should have cleaned the windows in the greenhouse by then.
At the very end of the garden there's a small orchard. Apple, pear, plum and greengage trees. Some are looking fine and healthy, others look like they're struggling a little – these may well be moved to see how a new position suits them, and to make space for some of the plants we've brought with us to add to the orchard. As soon as the old house was under offer, I potted up a couple of small cobnut trees, a damson tree, some raspberry canes and strawberry plants. The chicken run is going to be 'repurposed' as a fruit cage to keep the blackbirds off the blueberries, redcurrants, raspberries, blackcurrants and strawberries… our remaining two hens have gone to live as part of a flock of free range hens and are a whole lot happier now.
A priority in the new garden is to find a space for my herbs. Somewhere close to the house, sunny and well drained will be best for most of them. I have a whole collection of pots with rosemary, thyme, chives, sage, sweet cicely, marjoram and mint all growing well and ready to be planted out… except perhaps the mint which will take over the garden if it manages to get its roots into open ground.
Over nine years my last garden had grown to reflect my style of gardening… messy and unorganised. Not the kind of garden that everyone would be happy with, but it worked well for us. In the new garden I'm hoping to create something a little more planned and less chaotic, but still bursting with flowers and providing fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs for the kitchen.
And speaking of the kitchen – here's the biggest challenge of all at the new house…
That's right, there's no proper cooker. Just an Aga. I've tried cooking on an Aga once before in a house we rented for a year… they take some getting used to. So far I'm not loving the whole Aga experience. A quick tea the other night took three hours to cook because the oven temperature plummeted when I tried to use one of the rings to bring some potatoes to the boil. The Aga may redeem itself when I get some time to try baking bread – that's its final chance. If the bread is anything short of perfect, you'll soon be seeing an advert for a second hand Aga for sale on the blog…
Meantime, I hope you're all keeping well. I'm looking forward to getting around to visiting all the blogs I'm missing soon… just a garage full of boxes still to unpack and we'll be done.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Two people were in custody Monday morning, following a police chase across the city's West Side that ended in an exchange of gunfire.
Just after midnight Monday, officers began chasing two men in a car after hearing gunfire near the intersection of Laporte and West End avenues in the South Austin neighborhood, police said.
The chase continued east on Harrison Street, then onto and off the Eisenhower Expressway.
Officers finally caught the fleeing vehicle a short time later near the intersection of Arthington and Ada streets near the Taylor Street Little Italy district, police said.
Andrea Stoutenborough, a spokeswoman for the Independent Police Review Authority, said shots were fired both at and by the pursuing officers during the incident.
No injuries were reported, according to Stoutenborough.
Harrison Area police detectives and the IPRA — which probes all police-involved shootings — are investigating.
The Sun-Times Media Wire contributed to this report.

You need to know that User Area and Online Shop are two separate things, becuase we take an advantage of the services of third party company, namely Share-it. They take care about payment methods, accounting, taking orders for us.
User Area instead gathers all licenses customer purchased in one place, allows for downloading updates, installers, license key files necessary for authorizations, obtaining add-ons (including older versions of products, presets), adding new licenses etc.
So Share-it and our User Area have separate databases, therefore log-in details for User Area and Share-it are different.

Funky Inks Blog Hop
I am certainly incredibly excited to be involved! As a lover of all things digital this collaboration has meant you can go wherever your imagination lets you. So let's see what I have created…
I have used the "You've Retired" palette from the Wishes andKisses CD-ROM from Funky Hand and the gorgeous "Always the Flower Girl" image from Tiddly Inks.
I have paper pieced the image by printing her onto the Funky Hand papers, then cutting her out and layering with foam pads. The image and the papers were a match made in heaven and I felt that the card didn't need any further embellishment other than the simple sentiment.
You should have come via Lou Mac's blog, but don't worry if you haven't. A full list of the blogs is as follows:
Lou Mac
If you are just joining us. Just open a new window for each link (click CNTRL and the link to do this) and you can keep the main list up and navigate easily through the links.
So join in the hop as both Anice and Christy are offering a gorgeous prize from each of their stores. Too good to resist surely?! Also, you will be able to see that the only limit is your own imagination. And if you feel equally inspired to have a go, please share your gorgeous creations with us on the Funky Hand Facebook page.
And please leave me a comment before you pop on over to Maria, I'd love to know what you think of my card. Love as always. Sammylou xxx

Brownley calls for VA investigation of Trump friends' influence
Congresswomen Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, and Annie Kuster, D-New Hampshire, have called for an investigation into reports that members of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort have influenced decisions by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Brownley, who is the House Veterans' Affairs Health Subcommittee Ranking Member, and Kuster, an Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Ranking Member, requested that the Veterans Affairs Inspector General investigate claims first reported by ProPublica that personal friends of Donald Trump have been issuing orders and exerting influence over staff of the VA "without any accountability," says Brownley in a statement.
"Taxpayers want to know that their tax dollars are going to high-quality care for our nation's heroes, not to line the pockets or egos of President Trump's billionaire boys club," said Brownley.
In a letter to Inspector General Michael Missal signed by both Brownley and Kuster, the duo write:
"ProPublica reported that over the last year and a half, a group of three individuals, all members of the President's private resort of Mar-a-Lago, daily talked with VA officials and reviewed 'all manner of policy and personnel decisions.' Mr. Ike Perlmutter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marvel Entertainment LLC; Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, an internal medicine specialist; and Mr. Marc Sherman, an attorney without health-care industry experience, have reportedly instructed the VA to begin new programs and have apparently and egregiously demanded fealty from VA employees by traveling to Mar-a-Lago to "kiss [their] ring" using taxpayer-funded travel."
Brownley and Kuster ask Missal to "seek an accurate accounting" of the allegations and say that "Veterans, Congress, taxpayers and all Americans deserve answers."
Congresswoman Brownley hosts citizenship workshop in Oxnard
Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, will host a workshop aimed at assisting eligible legal permanent residents in applying for U.S. citizenship on Saturday, Aug. 18 in Thousand Oaks.
Volunteers will be on hand to assist applicants with the naturalization application, fee waiver assistance and the filing process from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., by appointment. To become a U.S. citizen, applicants must be legal permanent residents for at least five years, or three years if married to a U.S. citizen.
"America is a great nation because of its diversity," said Brownley. "It was founded by immigrants, and our history and heritage is rich because of the countless contributions of the immigrant community."
For more information and to book an appointment, call 805-379-1779.
Feds seek public comment on fracking in and near Los Padres National Forest
The Bureau of Land Management has opened a 30-day public comment period in regard to the environmental impact of oil well drilling and fracking on federally owned lands, particularly within the Los Padres National Forest.
Just over 400,000 acres of federal land and 1.2 million acres of federal so-called mineral estate adjacent to the Los Padres National Forest, Carrizo Plain National Monument, Hopper Mountain and Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuges, and the Wind Wolves Preserve could be affected by amendments to the Bureau's management plan for the area.
"Central California residents are concerned about the impacts of drilling and fracking near our region's most treasured forests, wildlife refuges, national monuments and nature preserves," said Jeff Kuyper, ForestWatch Executive Director. "We need to tell the Trump Administration loud and clear that we're not willing to pollute and industrialize these iconic landscapes."
Public comment ends on Sept. 7. For information on how to submit a comment, visit www.lpfw.org/fracking.
