Do you ever feel you don't have time to do the things you really want to do? Or you're so busy doing that there's no time for enjoying?
Do you ever say, wistfully, "Where did the time go?"
I used to say that all the time. Some days, I'd feel as though I was running around in a fog, frenetically racing to get through the day.
Then something clicked.
The most valuable gift I ever got
My best friends tend to give me self-help books. Books with titles like "Self-Esteem" and "Healing The Shame That Binds You" that attract looks of pity from fellow subway riders. They're not everyone's idea of the perfect gift, perhaps, but I genuinely appreciate them.
One of the books was "Peace Is Every Step" by Thich Nhat Hanh. In simple language, he teaches how you can find joy and peace in the simple things all around you. When I first read the book a little over three years ago, a particular passage rang true like an alarm clock waking me from my sleep-running through each day:
"Life is filled with many wonders, like the blue sky, the sunshine, the eyes of a baby. Our breathing, for example, can be very enjoyable. I enjoy breathing every day. But many people appreciate the joy of breathing only when they have asthma or a stuffed-up nose. We don't need to wait until we have asthma to enjoy our breathing. Awareness of the precious elements of happiness is itself the practice of right mindfulness."
"That's me!" I thought. Hurrying through life and missing it! Waiting till it's too late to appreciate the things right in front of me!
It made me stop and think: what if, like the book said, you could find joy and peace in moments throughout the day instead of striving for happiness in the future?
Touching the treadmill
Since then, I've been trying all sorts of ways to do just that. Breathing. Meditating. And I discovered how difficult it is to do something as simple as "being present". It seemed impossible to change my habit of hurrying. My mind kept racing ahead or looking behind and I couldn't seem to stop it.
The thing that's helped me is something I wrote about last week: "touching the treadmill". That post was about how starting with even a ridiculously simple first action can help you make progress towards some very big changes. Well, in Buddhism it's said there are 90,000 subtle gestures to practice. So instead of the audacious goal of "Be present!", I started with something much smaller and appealing. For example, I would try and focus for a minute while drinking a cup of coffee, getting dressed, or taking a shower.
Here's something you might try yourself.
The Orange Meditation
The "Orange Meditation", from Thich Nhat Hahn's "Your True Home", captures how you can transform the simple act of eating an orange into something altogether different.
"Take the time to eat an orange in mindfulness. If you eat an orange in forgetfulness, caught in your anxiety and sorrow, the orange is not really there. But if you bring your mind and body together to produce true presence, you can see that the orange is a miracle.
Peel the orange. Smell the fruit. See the orange blossoms in the orange, and the rain and the sun that have gone through the orange blossoms. The orange has taken several months to bring this wonder to you. Put a section in your mouth, close your mouth mindfully, and with mindfulness feel the juice coming out of the orange. Taste the sweetness.
Do you have the time to do so? If you don't think you have time to eat an orange like this, what are you using that time for? Are you using your time to worry, or using your time to live?"
Try it yourself. Pick one of your 90,000 gestures and, whatever that one thing is, do it with your full attention to unlock the miracle within that seemingly mundane moment.
Don't hurry through life, racing to get to the end. Don't wait till you lose something to appreciate what you used to have. Take a simple step now. Start living your life and each and every moment in it.

Local health departments (LHDs) play a vital role in providing immunization services and counseling, as well as in controlling cases of vaccine-preventable diseases. These local agencies work with public and private sector physicians and other stakeholders to ensure effective immunization practices, disease surveillance and reporting, education and outreach, and program oversight. In November 2017, NACCHO, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of Immunization Managers (AIM), conducted the 2017 NACCHO Assessment of Local Health Department Immunization Programs. The assessment results showcase the strengths and best practices of high performing immunization programs and highlight opportunities to enhance and leverage federal, state, and local resources to improve local immunization program efforts.
The assessment was distributed online via Qualtrics Survey SoftwareTM to a representative sample of 2,238 participants who work in LHD immunization programs throughout the country. Participants were asked to respond to 38 closed and open-ended questions regarding their immunization program's infrastructure, activities, priorities, immunization information systems, billing mechanisms, and partnerships. A total of 517 (23%) participants completed the assessment providing further insight into local immunization programs.
Key highlights from the assessment include:
- 25% of participants reported a decrease over the past year in immunization program staffing. Additionally, 41% of respondents currently have fewer than 2 FTEs conducting immunization activities and services.
- The most frequently reported immunization program activities include hosting immunization clinics, conducting education and outreach, collaborating with internal LHD programs, providing immunizations for children and adolescents, and conducting communication campaigns.
- The top barriers to immunization programs include vaccine hesitancy, insufficient staffing, lack of education or confidence in vaccines among patients/parents, lack of program funding, and an increase in VFC requirements.
- The top priorities that LHD immunization programs would like to address include vaccine rates, vaccine confidence, establishing partnerships, immunization information systems, and providing technical assistance and education.
- Though 80% of participants indicated that their LHD immunization program can bill public payers, only 56% have the capability to bill private insurance companies.
- LHD immunization programs most frequently partner with schools, other health departments, individual healthcare providers, healthcare clinics, and hospitals.
This assessment represents a significant contribution by LHD immunization program staff to the knowledge base of local immunization efforts. Assessment findings reaffirmed that LHDs are well-situated to deliver comprehensive immunization services and counseling and are uniquely positioned to increase immunization coverage rates and address vaccination coverage disparities. Through this research, NACCHO will continue to advocate for, provide capacity building assistance to, and promote the work of LHD immunization programs.
For more information about the assessment results and NACCHO's specific recommendations, view the assessment supplemental infographic. Please contact NACCHO's Immunization program with questions: email@example.com.

Municipal bonds are issued by states and municipalities and typically have tax advantages relative to other fixed income assets. In general, income from muni bonds is tax exempt at the federal level and at the state level for investors living in the issuing state. Municipal bonds have historically been favored by investors in high tax brackets who, of course, derive more benefit from the tax exemptions by virtue of being in the highest tax brackets.

Jim Grant's Alternative to Muni Bonds: REITs
In a recent interview with Bloomberg (video below) bow-tie wearing linguistics lover and bond market expert Jim Grant made it quite clear he's not a buyer of municipal bonds. Instead, he likes certain REITs specializing in the purchase of mortgage backed securities, some of which are pretty good businesses he thinks and offer yields north of 10%. Continue reading

Delivered in 2012 by the experienced craftsmen and engineers at Ocean Alexander, the 27.4m (90ft) MISS MICHELLE is an excellent example of the yard's popular 90 Skylounge series. She was repainted and had her teak decks replaced or refurbished throughout in 2019, and now MISS MICHELLE presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a well-built, feature-packed, turn-key yacht. The yacht has large and well-equipped outside spaces, including a sun deck with jacuzzi, sit-up bar and lounge as well as space for sun loungers. The aft deck offers plenty of shade and easy access to the water. With a lot of room for tender and toy storage, she offers plenty of adrenalin-fuelled fun afloat. The layout of MISS MICHELLE is well suited for both entertaining and relaxing. The detailed interior is warm, comfortable and inviting at anchor or underway and large windows throughout let in plenty of natural light on all three decks. The full-beam master suite provides sumptuous accommodation and the forward-facing observation lounge with fully equipped bar offers 180-degree panoramic views, a layout unique to this series. She features the aluminium I-beam core and unidirectional carbon fibre reinforcement that make Ocean Alexanders some of the lightest yet strongest composite yachts available. Composite construction also gives very shallow draft, just 2m (6.4ft), for worry-free Bahamas cruising and twin MTU 1,600hp diesels give her a top speed of 17kn and a cruising speed of 14kn. Burgess is delighted to bring MISS MICHELLE to market. She is lying in Florida where private inspection can easily be arranged and all expressions of interest are very welcome.

Getting here
December 17, 2012 3 Comments
Welcome to the blog.
Over the next three weeks, 10 photojournalism students will populate this page with content from stories we work on in São Paulo, Brazil. We are all fortunate enough to have this opportunity through the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and we are led by professor Bruce Thorson and assistant Brian Lehmann. Through an endowment in the college, photojournalism students have, in the past, traveled to Kosovo, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, India and, now, Brazil. On this blog you'll see work from Kat Buchanan, Andrew Dickinson, Kaylee Everly, Nickolai Hammar, Brian Lehmann, Matt Masin, Anna Reed, Bethany Schmidt, Brianna Soukup, Morgan Spiehs, Bruce Thorson and Cara Wilwerding.
We arrived in São Paulo this morning at 8:15 local time – four hours ahead of Nebraska time.
What follows are some gratuitous photos of ourselves and our surroundings taken on the journey from Lincoln to São Paulo. We hope you enjoy the blog and the stories we share on it.

Rick Crawford on Government Reform
Despite congressional reforms over the past several years to reduce pork barreling and increase earmark accountability and transparency, earmarks continue to figure prominently as the "currency of corruption" on Capitol Hill, undermining the federal budgetary process and our democratic system of government. In an effort to encourage more members of Congress and candidates for office to kick the earmarking habit, CCAGW has launched a new no-gimmicks, anti-pork pledge.
Congressional Summary:Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act): Amends the Securities Exchange Act and the Commodity Exchange Act to prohibit purchase or sale of either securities or commodities by a person in possession of material nonpublic information regarding pending or prospective legislative action.
Bill explanation (ProCon.org, "Insider Trading by Congress", Feb. 3, 2012):
Christian Coalition publishes a number of special voter educational materials including the Christian Coalition Voter Guides, which provide voters with critical information about where candidates stand on important faith and family issues. The Christian Coalition Voters Guide summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Prohibiting public funding for art that is pornographic or anti-religious"
Congressional Summary: Resolution Disapproving of the President's appointment of four officers during a period when no recess of the Congress for a period of more than three days and expressing that those appointments were made in violation of the Constitution.
Text of Resolution:
OnTheIssues Notes:Pres. Obama attempted to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in May 2011; House Republicans disapproved of Ms. Warren. House Speaker John Boehner disallowed the Senate's adjournment resolution, which meant the Senate was legally not adjourned and Pres. Obama could not make a "recess appointment" which would otherwise be allowed. This Resolution brings the issue to the fore again, for another set of Obama appointments for which House Republicans disapprove.

Are you "stuck" in any of these feelings?
depressed anxious irritable powerless self-conscious angry resentful guilty sad
self-critical empty
While everyone experiences these feelings from time to time, if they are continuous or if they unreasonably interfere with the quality of your life, then maybe it's time to take action … Maybe it's time to consult with me. I am the therapist that people turn to when other therapists haven't helped. In fact, my best client is one who has gone to other providers with little to show for it. I am an active, engaged therapist with the accumulated wisdom and experience from decades in the field.
I do not just sit there and nod and smile as my clients have told me many other therapists do. That might be enough for some clients but not others. I am an ACTIVE counselor. Many people don't realize that seeing a counselor doesn't merely mean talking to someone who will just be nice and listen. Not all therapists are alike!
I offer a uniquely interactive style that really helps. I work with people's strengths, teach life skills and useful concrete tools, and help clients find solutions to their problems. I offer guidance and insight. I always use a potent blend of my life coaching and counseling skills for maximum effectiveness. I am empathetic and compassionate but also results-oriented. I am both a counselor and a life coach and use various skills with all. You will find counseling with me to be a different experience.
I provide confidential active counseling and psychotherapy to individual adults, 18 years and up. I do not work with children. I am a self-pay therapist/life coach so for that very reason, I am able to offer diagnosis-free confidential help that keeps the insurance companies out of your business.
Click here for rates and logistics
I specialize in relationship problems. My relationship counseling sessions for INDIVIDUALS can help effectively to:
- Make relationship decisions
- Heal from or survive infidelity in a relationship
- Break patterns of involvement in unhealthy or unsatisfying relationships
- Learn how to have intimate, reciprocal, constructive relationships
- Conquer fears of commitment, entrapment, vulnerability or intimacy
- Leave a particular relationship, if appropriate
- Heal from the ending of a significant relationship
- Identify what clients want in a mate and coach them to reach that goal

Today continues the weekly series, F*ing Fridays, which will coincidentally occur on Friday. I mentioned some of my favorite F words back on Day 5, including: Fearless, Fabulous, Fine, Fun, Faith, Freedom, Forgiveness, to name a Few.
Last week I dove into the word Ferry.
Today's F*ing Friday is dedicated to the word:
As in, fix it?
It's hard to believe we have been on this island for one whole week. It reminds me of something I forgot to tell you about our trip up here.
Do you chew your nails?
Ever? Even just a little, tiny nibble now and then?
Yeah, I gave it up long ago too.
Well, I thought I did.
For the most part I have.
But, sometimes … SOMETIMES I slip and catch myself gnawing on the side of a hangnail, which immediately turns into a little nibble of a nail. You know, just to even it up a bit.
No, you don't know?
Okay, well, let me explain.
If one side of your nail is lopsided you razor it down with a tooth to even it all out.
It's an art form, really.
Such a delicate skill that it's rare for even a seasoned nail biter to get the slope right. Which of course forces you to gnaw on the other side too.
Pretty soon, say a few hours into this, you have every nail from every finger laying at your feet.
I thought that was the worst case scenario.
Turns out, it's not.
On the drive here, in the car, at right about the 20th hour of driving, I spied the dreaded hangnail.
I couldn't resist.
My butt hurt. My eyes tired. My nerves shot.
I began to slightly nibble on the tip of my finger nail.
And then it happened.
The last thing I expected.
My tooth chipped.
Yes, I know. I only have myself to blame.
And, it sucks.
Because now I have to fix it.
Just those words send my mind spinning.
And it makes me wonder:
Just what does it mean to FIX something?
If something is broken, you fix it, right?
Like my tooth.
But, it will never be the same again.
Just like if a relationship is strained, you fix it.
You apologize, cry, laugh, grovel, whatever it takes. But, you fix it, right?
When I have a sweet craving, I fix it ~ with sugar.
But, not anymore. At least, not since the cleanse.
I just sit with my craving until it passes.
And, that gets me fixated on this:
What if there was nothing to fix?
What if I couldn't fix my tooth?
Would I walk around all my life with a little gap at the tip?
What if we couldn't fix relationships?
Once they were a little bit strained, would we just slip away?
What if I couldn't fix my sugar craving?
One taste and I'm forever addicted again?
Body out of balance, system out of whack.
I suppose the answer is really simple.
If we all took care of what we already have… our toys, our communities, our families, ourselves.
There would be nothing to fix.
And that just might save a few broken hearts and finger nails … and oh yes, my tooth.

TO: President, Universal Pictures
FROM: Script Department
RE: Slap Shot Remake
We received a copy of Peter Steinfeld's (21) first draft for the planned Slap Shot remake. Before we pass it on to the director currently attached to this project (Dean Parisot, Fun With Dick and Jane), we thought we would give you a brief summary of the updated plot, plus some planned casting suggestions.
As you might recall, the original movie was set in an aging, depressed steel town in the Iron Belt. The Charlestown Chiefs were a minor league hockey team, based in the Federal League, who were a pretty mediocre team that was not drawing fans. When it was announced that the steel mill was going to close, the owner announced that he was going to fold the team at the end of the season. Worried about his future, coach Reggie Dunlop turned his guys into a team of thugs and ruffians in an attempt to pump up attendance and get the new team a new owner.
The original film was rated "R." It was quite profane, there was female nudity, and lots of violence. We would like to tone the film down a bit, and we think that Steinfeld's updated script has the goods for a PG-13 at the least. He's changed a few things. The team is now the Quad City Flames of the American Hockey League, which is one step under the NHL - the NHL is the uppermost league of professional hockey. The Flames don't draw, and they are in danger of being moved to Canada. Because of the current economic climate, we've decided that it is for the best to dump the whole dying town bit. We don't want to depress anybody.
For casting, we were thinking that Russell Crowe might be a good idea for the Paul Newman role of Reggie Dunlop. Crowe's already played a hockey player before in Mystery, Alaska, and he's got quite the reputation as a brawler. As the young offensive star Ned Braden, played by Michael Ontkean in the original, we were thinking of that John Krasinki guy from The Office. And you're going to like the synergy here, because we were thinking that Steve Carell, who plays Krasinki's boss on The Office, would be perfect for the role of sportscaster Jim Carr. And for general manager Joe McGrath, the thinking down here was that we try for Burt Reynolds - he and Crowe have worked together before, so there might be some good chemistry to play with.

Now we're going a bit out of the box for this next part, but we think you'll like it. The cult stars of the original were the Hanson Brothers - two brothers and a cousin who played three brothers in the film. The Hansons were bad skaters who couldn't do much on offense but were great brawlers. We were thinking that we would get Adam Sandler for these parts. Hey, a little makeup and CGI and he could play all three at the same time. And if you've seen Happy Gilmore you know that he likes hockey. We're pretty confident that a combination of Adam Sandler, Russell Crowe, Steve Carell, and John Krasinki just screams box office success.
There are several more key roles that must still be cast. We were thinking that David Boreanaz would be perfect for the role of Dave "Killer" Carlson. We also thought Marisa Tomei might be a good idea to play Francine Dunlop, the ex-wife of Russell Crowe. And we were thinking of Zooey Deschanel for the role of Lily Braden, who is John Krasinki's wife.
We've also been asking around, and we're pretty sure we can get Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Denis Leary to sign on for small roles. And there's hockey player, Sean Avery, who's known as a bit of a ladies man as well as having a bit of foul mouth, who we think we might be able to get to play one of the bad guys.
We're confident that with the toned-down language and violence and with this all-star cast that we're looking at a huge box office hit.

pkg_install update
pkg_install-20090528 is now included in all maintained branches of NetBSD, including:
- netbsd-4 and netbsd-4-0
- netbsd-5 and netbsd-5-0
- current
This version will soon be required by pkgsrc and brings a number of changes.
pkg_add no longer depends on ftp and tar to do the hard work. This avoids a number of problems when accessing remote sites, e.g. when using multiple entries in PKG_PATH. pkg_add can now handle packages with really long path names. Mono has been affected by this for a while. On installation with /var/tmp and /usr/pkg on separate file systems, it makes installation much faster by installing directly to the target file system without needing temporary space. On updates, packages with the special "preserve" status will keep it, so that binary updates of pkg_install itself are possible. It is also possible to check for vulnerable packages before installing them. Conflicts are handled implicitly, e.g. if a to-be-installed package contains a file that already exists in the file system, an error is reported.
pkg_delete now checks for remaining dependencies before starting to do delete. Unless -f is given, it will fail as early as possible. pkg_delete -A will remove automatically installed packages that are not being used. pkg_delete -R is now much faster, especially when removing large meta packages. @dirrm is now obsolete and empty directories are pruned automatically.
pkg_admin has grown a number of new subcommands. The audit-packages and download-vulnerability-list commands have been merged. Scripts to handle the common use cases are provided under the old names. Other functions are related to verifying and creating signed packages. Signed packages are now fully supported for both local and remote operation. The trust can be established either via special SSL certificates (X509) or via GPG.
The audit-packages.conf configuration file has been replaced by pkg_install.conf. The latter is shared by all parts of pkg_install. Local changes in audit-packages.conf need to be transferred manually to pkg_install.conf.
The pkg_view frontends have been retired.[0 comments]

text: Creating an Agile Smart Building with an IoT Ecosystem June 21, 2018 In 2017, smart buildings collected 14.6 zettabytes of data worldwide, and the amount of data is only expected to grow. Businesses across the world are using this data to make better business decisions, improve safety, become more sustainable and so much more. Wondering how a smart building with an IoT ecosystem can help your business? Smart Buildings Are No Longer Futuristic To understand how an IoT ecosystem plays an essential role in building automation and business success, we must start with smart buildings. What are smart buildings? They are automated buildings which use the Internet of Things (IoT) in some way. Oftentimes, buildings of all sizes will start with some of the simpler automation tasks, such as temperature control or smart light bulbs. These devices are connected to the network and can be controlled remotely or may be set on automatic schedules. But smart buildings can do so much more as well. If you're curious what smart building can do for you, think of it like this - they optimize the human experience and can be adjusted to provide the best environment for occupants. In a data-driven world, smart devices provide you with the information to uncover inefficiencies and make mindful business decisions. We're seeing smart building technology implemented across all types of industries from standard offices to healthcare facilities. Healthcare Smart healthcare facilities quite literally save lives. Incorporating IoT into healthcare leads to real-time data which can be used to act faster during life-threatening events. In addition, smart healthcare facilities are more secure than your average hospital or nursing home. Security and access control systems help ensure equipment, records and patients are safe. Apartment Buildings Multi-tenant facilities can be difficult to manage, with so many unique spaces and people to take into account. IoT settings can be customized by room or person. With so many people sharing spaces, multi-tenant buildings can also have difficulty being energy efficient. Using occupancy sensors, IoT in apartment buildings can help reduce wasted energy by turning off lights and adjusting temperatures when rooms are unoccupied. Education Smart technology in schools and universities can actually make students more productive. The ability to change the environment means you can easily have a comfortable environment for gym class and test taking. On top of optimizing for productivity, IoT can help to keep students and staff safe. Industrial IoT can be used throughout industrial facilities to more easily track supplies, expedite shipping and limit errors. The result is a smart building that saves you money. While industrial companies have different security concerns than healthcare, the fact remains that all businesses have security top of mind. IoT can help you stop security risks, or detect them quicker. What is an IoT ecosystem? At its simplest, an IoT ecosystem requires a remote and smart device. The remote, usually a phone or tablet, sends commands to the device. In return the device sends information back to the remote. Many IoT ecosystems are much more robust - the "remote" controls dozens of systems which rely on multiple sensors and power everything from lights to security equipment and more. It is when businesses start to use these multifaceted IoT ecosystems that they realize the true value of smart buildings. To Igor, an IoT ecosystem means bringing together all sorts of best-of-breed devices as well as cutting-edge applications which allow buildings to become more flexible. Dwight Stewart, found of Igor, says before smart buildings, "people have always thought of buildings as a fixed environment," but with the capabilities of an IoT ecosystem, buildings are now agile; smart buildings have the ability to change and grow with a business. How does Igor's technology enable smart buildings? Igor has set itself apart from other IoT ecosystem technologies by offering an all-in-one hardware, software and analytics solution. Igor's plug-and-play technology makes it easy for devices to be discovered and configured for your smart building. The Power over Ethernet Node Igor's node allows devices which are not yet IP enabled to be connected up to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) network. One node can handle multiple devices, allowing them to communicate together across a chain of devices. Igor's node allows businesses to choose their own equipment - from relays to switches and even lights - multiple manufacturers are compatible with Igor. Simply choose your device from a list of profiled SKUs and the node will automatically configure for that device. Because PoE is high throughput, high bandwidth and low latency, Stewart says, "You can use it to deploy just about anything you can imagine."

This statement is quite casually put to explain the way India operates to people trying to understand Indian system. Even scientifically a lot of institutions have tried to find justification to the above statement with no consolidated results to showcase so far. But it won't be wrong to suggest that above statement DOES explain a lot what is wrong and still correct with Indian system. Someone can hear a song – "Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.. (Still heart is Indian despite everything).
The traffic is the first and perhaps biggest system management representation of how Indians operate, how they flung the rules, how considerate they are towards others. Not to say that everyone is bad or everything happening here is wrong as 1000+ people die everyday in India on road but as the optimist shall say 1crore+ people are saved as well :). The requirement is definitely for making traffic laws and law guardians ie traffic policemen/ladies more empowered – increase their salaries, make them more accountable, train them, help them in becoming no less efficient than an army officer or an investment banker for that matter.
Same can be said for law & order situation in India – the police administration, the judicial system are pillars without which any democracy or country will fail. In India, there are millions of ways of finding loopholes in here to find a way for yourself. A highly functioning country cannot afford to have 1 in 2 policemen who have oodles of pounds added around the tyre region who fail to empathise forget giving help to the needy. Again, a revamp with focus on their basic qualification, aptitude, attitude, fitness, salary structure is in the order.
Agriculture, Municipal societies, Education, Medical, Government services sectors are representing above examples' chaos as well.
There have been a few sectors which have seen privatisation post the liberalisation policy of 1992 – Aviation, Telecom/Communication, IT services, Media, Food & Beverages, FMCG, Banking, Pharmaceuticals, Construction/Infrastructure are chief I can recall among others. These sectors have seen practices from abroad coming into implementation, a good level of competition to out do each other, high influx of educated youngsters joining them, consistent growth & contribution towards GDP, certain positioning at international scenario for India.
Not to stress that jobs in these sectors are in high demand at engineering, MBA and other colleges.
My country is great – nobody can deny or takeaway that from me. Am moment and again filled with the optimism for the highest notch that my country can reach. I am also one of those old school people who value the rich culture, family values, history values that my country keeps close to Her heart. Though what is required along with the Govt reforms is change of approach/attitude of my own countrymen/ladies – to not think of themselves first at every opportunity. In public places – think for the public too, while in a queue – keep your patience for others too, while driving or being driven – respect other people's comforts/lives too.
Today, my country is highest growing nation in the world – its no mean feat achieved basis hard work of countrymen favoured by govt policies. Let us not stop till we are able to provide every single Indian anywhere in the world with clean food to eat, clean water to drink, healthy air to breathe, clothes to cover, shed to protect heads and few other basic amenities along with respect, dignity to withstand anything.
Love, Power & Amen!

Metalink3, the end of Peoplesoft GSC, future of database support
That was expected since Oracle bought Peoplesoft. Finally, it is happening.
It is a very big change for Peoplesoft cutomers.
For who work on Peoplesoft for several years, that means a lot of habits have to be change (started with the severity scale and basics words as "case" becoming "SR").
Awaiting the effectivness of the replacement (from the coming Monday, after the outage during this week-end), the Metalink3 was available in "reduce" mode without all the features. That is more likely the Oracle classic Metalink site we know for the database support.
Moreover, it has been already announced, the Metalink3 website will become also the support website for the Oracle Database, eBusiness... the date is not defined yet.
Well, hopefully, that'll help,

I am in ERP industry from last 8 years and found lot of new technologies and enhancements. Now a days latest is Oracle fusion and SAP modules. One more point, I felt from Customer view, is about vendor selection. I read lot of articles on internet and got lot about different parameters that company uses.
As Blogs industry is growing, I really that being integrated with ERP softwares and that will make all users interactive, while using application. In case you are interested to see major differences between Oracle or SAP then read the article on www.itwisesolutions.com/blogs website. I am not sure who is maintaining this site but looks like more PeopleSoft training covered on it.

Boys basketball: Wilton Warriors defeat Trumbull Eagles
Recommended Video:
TRUMBULL — Wilton High head coach Joel Geriak isn't afraid to loosen his tie, roll his sleeves up, and get to work. Neither are his Warriors, who jumped out to a big lead over Trumbull and then closed out the FCIAC showdown with a 69-60 victory on Friday night.
"We saw this team coming in as the best in the league," Geriak said of the Eagles. "They are a team that runs well. We had to slow down their tempo and our transition game was great."
Wilton drew into a first-place tie in the FCIAC with Trumbull and Danbury at 10-2. The Warriors are 12-3 overall and the Eagles 13-3.
Tucker Walden buried a pair of three-pointers, Andrew Smith and Zayvion Eusebe had one each, but it was Ryan Bineron's eight-points inside the pain that sparked Wilton to a 24-15 lead after one quarter.
Trumbull's Timmond Williams (35 points) led a couple of mini-runs in the first half, but each time the Eagles narrowed the gap, Wilton would respond.
"For them to score 69 points, with a high scorer at 11, that is impressive," Trumbull coach Buddy Bray said. "They played their system and hit the open shot. Each time we'd get close, they would make a three."
Smith knocked two more treys, and Ryan Schriber made one from beyond the arc, when the Warriors took the score to 41-26 at the half. Nick Kronenberg had six of his 11 points in the frame.
Wilton's drive-and-dish offense was at its best.
"Our goal is to share the ball," Warrior co-captain Reilly Bingaman said. "We look to control tempo and find the open man."
Trumbull rallied back in the third quarter.
The Eagles scored six points in transition with baskets from Mileeq Green, Quentar Taylor and Williams.
Williams' put back bucket — after Wilton went dry on seven trips (0-for-5 from the floor; two turnovers) — Geriak called for time up 44-37 with 4:34 left in the period.
"We knew we were catching Trumbull short-handed with Chris Brown out [injured in Warde game]," Geriak said. "We had to get back control of tempo and run our offense."
Kyle Hyzy drew an extra defender to him on a dribble drive coming out of the break, and found Walden open in the short corner for a three-pointer.
Williams answered in kind for Trumbull, Green dished the ball off to Evan Gutowski for a foul-line jumper, and Williams dazzled the bipartisan crowd with an up-and-under finish of a baseline drive.
It was now a one-possession game with two minutes left in the third.
Jack Therriault followed a basket by Taylor with a putback off a rebound.
Trumbull, once down 15, had the lead at 48-47.
Eusebe scored off a spin move in the lane to give Wilton a 49-48 advantage.
Williams' three-point play with 5:03 on the clock tied the game at 53-all.
Hyzy's kick-out pass to Schriber led to a three-pointer and Wilton went on to stretch its lead.
"They are a good team and had a nice run at us," Bingaman said. "To get a nine-point win after being tied with five minutes left is a heckuva win for us."

Many women are not aware that we produce the 'male' hormone testosterone and how important it is to our overall health – sexual, reproductive and otherwise. If levels fall, we can age more rapidly and our bodies become weaker.
Testosterone is the principal anabolic and sex hormone in humans, responsible for sexual desire and function, muscular hypertrophy, densification of bones, and hair growth. Compared to females, males famously produce about ten times the amount of testosterone, but females are far more sensitive to its effects. Though testosterone is largely responsible for those traits and characteristics that are considered "masculine" – physical strength, body hair, dominance, and virility – both sexes require it for proper sexual and physical development. In mammals, males secrete it primarily from the testicles (about 95% of the total amount, in fact) and women secrete it from the ovaries. A modicum is produced in the adrenal glands in both sexes.
To increase testosterone naturally: Continue reading

Early in 2016, Passa Architects was contracted by a development company interested in developing student housing in the Windsor downtown area. The development group requested that Passa Architects develop preliminary design schemes for a number of options for high-rise student housing with the primary focus on apartment style new builds or renovations of an existing 18 storey hotel building with a similar methodology. Various potential sites were analyzed to determine maximum bed numbers each could provide, parking requirements able to be met, and that municipal bylaws and code requirements could be addressed successfully. Various designs ranging from phased high-rise new build apartments, to renovating the existing hotel building, to multiple unit 'stacked townhouses' were investigated and developed to a preliminary level to ensure the planning and cost estimates were accurate. General specifications were developed including mechanical and electrical new work and renovations required to allow for a general contractor to provide updated costing based on the constantly modified and evolving design information to determine if the project was ultimately financially feasible for the developer. The project is still pending Owner approval to proceed.

Reading files with 'Scanner' class
I'm struggling a bit with reading files using the 'Scanner' class. The problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to get it to read the file without using the full path, which seems somehow redundant. I placed both my java file and the file to be read in the same folder. I'm using Eclipse if that has anything to say?
Hope you can help. Happy Monday!!!
- Jake
This is my code btw:
Java Code:
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class ImageAnalysis { private String noRows, noCols; // Constructs image as array public ImageAnalysis(String filename) throws FileNotFoundException { Scanner readImage = new Scanner(new File("C:/Users/Jakob/Dropbox/DTU/7_Semester/02101 Indledende Programmering/Eclipse Projects/Assignment 2/src/image001.ipi")); readImage.useLocale(Locale.ENGLISH); noRows = readImage.next(); noCols = readImage.next(); readImage.close(); } public void printRows(){ System.out.println(noRows); } }

Re: Reading files with 'Scanner' class
If you are trying to use a relative path, then the file must be in the correct location relative to where the app is being executed.
For example, if running from the command line, the java root is usually just outside the top level package. If from and IDE like eclipse or netbeans, then it's in the project folder itself. If it's a jar file, then it could be different depending on how you're trying to load the file.

On Friday night I finally felt relaxed enough to approach the wire and the 'creative moment'. If I know I have to be somewhere soon, or have some obligation to attend to, I can't get into working the wire or allow myself to get too involved. Since most of my projects require a great deal of involvement, the wire tends to be an all or nothing proposition at my house.
If I get involved deeply in a project, you can forget about groceries or anything that requires cooking. I have always been this way about any project I get into, balance is something I never got the hang of.
When I was raising my daughter the pain of this unevenness on my part was too much for our household so I stopped crafting or attempting any detailed or demanding projects. I started to buy the books that promised 5 min or one hour projects. It served me well to just give up those creative wishes for many years.
But now I am back, able to do as I please again:) So I worked for 15 hours straight but for the sleep part in between. I completed two projects, both for Year Of Jewelry, so I will only post one of them for now.
This is painted wire, copper and coral.
A couple of months ago I spent 15 hours just trying to get this pair of earrings done http://theangstyartist.blogspot.com/2009/07/audreys-earrings.html. A few months before that I designed this locket in 28 hours.
Both projects I did this weekend required all new techiques that I had to innovate and design from scratch. Both projects were fairly detailed. Both projects hit bumps in the road where I had to rethink my design plan and rework the wire more than once. I can't beleive I got them both done in so little time!! So little for me anyway:)
So why is my blog post titled "Happiness"?
In those 15 hours I noticed I was completely happy:)
But now I need some groceries.

Hyperinflation, food rationing, failed government-provided services are just a few of the endemic problems. Daily protests across the country prompted his use of death squads, combined Cuban mercenaries, the National Guard, and conscripted local militia, to kill innocent people.
The successor to Venezuela's socialist leader Hugo Chavez, who died over four years ago, Nicolas Maduro, has been floundering for months. Hyperinflation, food rationing, failed government-provided services are just a few of the endemic problems. Daily protests across the country prompted his use of death squads, combined Cuban mercenaries, the National Guard, and conscripted local militia, to kill innocent people. On Sunday alone, 14 people were murdered. Two weeks ago, the National Assembly conducted a vote to ask Venezuelans if they wanted a new constitution. Even though there were many actions taken by Maduro's government to thwart this election, 7.6 million people voted in this country of 30 million people. About 98% of the vote was for no new constitution. Furthermore, people voted that the armed forces should enforce the constitution and that the National Assembly not be changed.
Notwithstanding how the majority voted, Maduro continued with his quest to consolidate more power with the unwanted election. A sampling of what the new constitution bodes for "Venezuelan democracy" is reported allegedly by a former attorney general under Chavez, Luisa Ortega, as a conduit for a former member of Chavez's Supreme Court:
- All schools will become public and curriculum selection and administration in general will be by the government;
- All private companies will become assets of the government and will be run by members of the military;
- All private property ownership will be dissolved and become assets of the government;
- The right to protest will no longer exist;
- The National Assembly members will be selected by Maduro.
- Presidential term will be for 20 years. It took a while for the people of Venezuela to unify against the government under the auspices of MUD (Mesa de la Unidad Democratica), United Democratic Table. As such, when elections were held last, 67% of the seats of the National Assembly were filled with "the opposition." How will Maduro accomplish his quest to consolidate power? Besides the usual intimidation techniques, Maduro used sleight of hand. Anyone working for a government company, e.g. Caracas METRO or PDVSA, the National oil company, was encouraged to sign up for a new card, Carnet de Patria (Country Card). The "bait" was to allow such cardholders preferential treatment to buy food at government stores. Besides the national identification code, aka cedula number, there are two additional numbers on the reverse side of the card. When one goes online on the CNE (national elections council) web page, and enters all three numbers, one at a time, there are three votes that will be allowed, not one. I witnessed this in person. Cute trick, huh? The "opposition" encouraged Venezuelans to boycott Maduro's unwanted election. Even though the head of the CNE stated that 99% of eligible voters showed up to vote, the streets were empty by comparison to the vote two weeks ago to thwart Maduro's attempt to change the constitution. Remember the aforementioned Carnet de Patria? If you wanted a ride on the METRO, you had to show proof of voting. The bedridden in hospitals and clinics were bussed to voting precincts to vote for Maduro's scheme. Only 25% of the eligible voters' votes are needed to pass the new constitutional assembly of handpicked Maduro accomplices to change the constitution. Why have there been protests for months on end with protesters being gunned down in the streets by government thugs? Since Maduro was "elected" in December 2013, the chance for a revocation vote was December 2016. The opposition garnered the signatures but Maduro's CNE claimed once again that signatures were gained illegally. They foisted new procedures on the people only to cause further delays. Is this democratic? Why shove an unwanted constitutional convention of handpicked Maduro delegates to rewrite the constitution to stack the deck more versus holding the constitutionally legal revocation vote? Since Jimmy Carter was not up to the task, Maduro got the ex-socialist president of Spain, Jose Luis Zapatero, to be an advisor and "sanctioner" of all things wanted by this corrupt government. Ask yourself why is Venezuela's imminent death of democracy important to the United States? Three countries have a significant presence in Venezuela. Chavez was cozy with Iran and purportedly built a missile launching area on the Paraguana Peninsula presenting it as a factory for building tractors or other industrial equipment. Russia and China have poured billions into the oil industry. China was invited to keep the Russians in check until the Chinese realize what useful idiots they had become. Venezuela is the new Cuba for Russia. Russia can add the strategic location to check the U.S. and control the largest oil reserves of any country in the world. This complements Russia's energy stranglehold on Europe. Another country is flying under the radar but adds another dimension of threat, North Korea. Many believe that the U.S. should sit this one out. Yes, we have lost many lives and treasure on recent wars to eradicate the roots of terrorism. If we want a launchpad of potential terrorists closer to the U.S., inaction is the answer. That's certainly the answer Barack Obama gave us during his past administration.
